Nothing in this world is absolute. Correspondingly, the inaction of the imperial court often leads to the emergence of powerful ministers and heroes.

There will be no courtiers who want to rebel against usurpers and aspire to be powerful ministers as soon as they enter the official career, nor will they want to tear the soil and become a prince as soon as they go on an expedition.

The reason why there are civil ministers and military generals who finally come to the road of power ministers and heroes is that in addition to the growth of ambition caused by the promotion of official careers and the temptation of power, it naturally has a great relationship with the inaction of the imperial court.

In order to be able to overwhelm the other party, for the interests of the group behind them, and also for their own family, so that they can live a stable and prosperous noble life, the ministers and heroes involuntarily become powerful ministers and heroes in the court struggle.

Ye Qing was not making excuses for himself, but after a night of careful combing and thinking, he found that now he had galloped far enough on the road of Xiaoxiong, even if he wanted to turn back and be a so-called good person again, it was hopeless.

Unless it's ...... He is willing to leave behind Bai Chun and other wives and children, as well as the military judges and other soldiers behind him, and then show his loyalty to the court with his death, maybe he can get a good posthumous name.

Like Yue Fei, he finally died at the hands of his own people, and then he was rehabilitated by his own people, and was given the nickname of Zhongwu, what is the point of choosing such an end?

Standing on the ferry prepared by the Jin people, he looked back at the Wu Juan and the others behind him with a worried face, and watched Xu Han nodding to him in the crowd, and then turned to leave, Ye Qing, who was wearing a black fur coat, faced the cold wind on the river, and his thoughts were still flying wildly.

Or perhaps...... He can't even afford to die now, the corners of Ye Qing's mouth showed a touch of bitterness with the words in his heart, and the fetters of concern and responsibility made it extremely difficult for him now, even if he wanted to follow in Yue Fei's footsteps.

Once he died, what should Bai Chun and the others do? How will they live in the second half of their lives, will they wash their faces with tears all day long?

What to do with the entire lost territory regained? Will it be torn apart because of Shi Miyuan in Jinan Mansion and Han Yanxuan in Lanzhou Mansion? Will the Jin people once again take back all the cities and trap the people in the flames of war?

Death is just a simple matter of closing your eyes and not opening them again, but when you close your eyes, can the worries and fetters in your heart disappear without a trace? The world will eventually move towards prosperity and peace, but in today's troubled times, if you ignore the common people in order to win loyalty...... Isn't it a little too petty?

Looking at Wan Yan Jing and the other golden people who were smiling and silent on the other side, the corners of Ye Qing's mouth followed his thoughts, and once again showed a peaceful smile, perhaps deep down, Ye Qing had long wanted to gallop on the road of Xiaoxiong, but now that his power and influence have increased greatly, he has begun to look forward, wanting both power and a good reputation.

Wan Yanjing's gaze slowly moved from the smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth to the black fur on Ye Qing's body, this is an object that he is very familiar with, after careful calculation, it has been more than ten years, but even so, it can still be seen that this fur fur is well maintained by Ye Qing on weekdays, except for the more dazzling sewing, it still looks like new.

Jumped off the ferry and boarded the embankment, in addition to Wan Yan Jing smiling at himself, it was the beggar Shilie gods and slaves who nodded to Ye Qing imperceptibly when Ye Qing looked at him, and as for the cluster

The other golden people who hugged behind Wan Yan Jing either looked disdainful of themselves, or stared at them fiercely, as if they had a common enmity with them.

"As promised, the Holy One must believe in our sincerity by now, right?" Ye Qing opened his arms to make a frank statement, and said to Wan Yan Jing.

"When you see the saint today, you don't kneel down and bow ......." Jia Gu Qing on the side looked angry, as if Ye Qing had a deep hatred with him, and said coldly.

And Wan Yanjing waved his hand lightly, stopping Jia Guqing from attacking Ye Qing, looked at Ye Qing with a smile and said: "As the saying goes: if the name is not right, the words are not good, and if the words are not good, the things will not be done." If things fail, the etiquette will not be happy, and if the etiquette is not happy, the punishment will not be successful, and if the punishment is not successful, the people will be at a loss. Lord Ye may negotiate peace on behalf of Song Ting? Now that the morale of our army is high, the fighting spirit is high, and the power of our own conquest, it is only a matter of time before we want to cross the river. Lord Ye was talking about peace with me behind Song Ting's back at this time, for fear that he would be suspected of being unjust. ”

Ye Qing smiled and nodded, Wan Yan Jing at this time was no longer the young emperor who was still a little immature back then, as if he had adapted to the position of emperor like a fish in water, and the imperial spirit shown between his gestures had a trace of the power of looking down on the world.

Today's Wan Yan Jing is no longer the Wan Yan Jing who will forget his identity as an emperor when he sees himself, and Wan Yan Jing who will leave the state affairs and greet him first, but a real emperor who puts the country first in everything.

As far as the eye can see, there are camp tents scattered everywhere, the Jin Guojing flag is hunting in the cold wind, and the golden and brilliant king's tent is not far away, like a giant beast, ready to open its blood basin and devour Ye Qing at any time.

Behind Wan Yan Jing, the military generals of Wen Chen were divided into two shifts, and almost none of the courtiers would repay Ye Qing with kindness, especially after Wan Yan Jing finished speaking, his expressions became even more disdainful and full of strong hostility.

"If everything has to be done by the imperial court, and then act according to orders, then it is impossible for Ye to recover so many territories in just a few years. Although the imperial court did not allow me the right to cut first and then play, in the north, every decision of Ye can fully represent the meaning of my Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing turned a blind eye to the fierce gods and evil generals behind the begging stone martyrs, and said to Wan Yan Jing with a relaxed expression.

And these words are like touching the sore feet of the Jin people's courtiers, especially in the past few years, the Jin people have always been defeated and invincible in the face of Ye Qing's army, these are naturally those behind Wan Yan Jing, who have always been accustomed to facing the Song people full of superiority, have always been so uncomfortable as eating flies.

Now in front of all of them, Ye Qing once again mentioned the victory or defeat of the battle between Song and Jin in the past few years, which was tantamount to a resounding slap in the face, and it was crisply slapped in the face of every Jin courtier present.

Behind Wan Yan Jing, who was smiling freely, it was as if the pot had exploded in an instant, and the military generals of Wenchen shouted and scolded Ye Qing one by one.

Many of them asked Ye Qing to hurry back to the other side, and then the two sides immediately fought again to see who won and who lost.

There are even some more filthy and shameless ruthless people, clamoring for Ye Qing to jump into the Yellow River and swim to the other side, and the ferry won't let you sit.

Of course, what is even more insidious is the thing that they have always been most worried about, that

It's just that some Jin courtiers have begun to kneel on the yellow earth, shouting in their mouths to ask Yan Jing to take down Ye Qing immediately to ask for the guilt, and then lead the troops to cross the river to attack the Song Dynasty.

"Lord Ye, please pay attention to your words. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although in the past two years, the Song army, under your leadership, has indeed robbed a lot of the territory of our Dajin Kingdom, but now standing on the bank of the Yellow River, it is the so-called 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi. Lord Ye, don't you know who is strong and who is weak in the current situation? If not, why did Lord Ye come over alone and take the initiative to negotiate peace? The beggar stone martyr took a step forward slightly, looked at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice.

His eyes glanced lightly at the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and then turned to Wan Yan Jing, under the verbal criticism of the other courtiers of the Jin people, Ye Qing continued: "Ye Mou came to negotiate peace this time, completely for the sake of your country, especially for the sake of the Holy Master, not because Ye Mou was afraid of the 200,000 army behind the Holy Master. ”

"Presumptuous! Ye Qing, you deserve ...... death for your crimes. ”

"Then you hurry back and see how I can defeat you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death with the power of the Son of Heaven!"

"The minister asks the saint to kill this thief immediately, this person crosses the river and calls it peace, which is really a humiliation to the saint, and the minister asks the saint to ......."

"Why do you think about me?" Wan Yanjing's voice was not very loud, but as soon as he opened his mouth, many courtiers behind him immediately stopped talking, and the embankment instantly became silent.

Ye Qing looked at the golden courtiers who immediately became silent after Yan Jing opened his mouth, and he was quite surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Wan Yan Jing now had such great prestige among the golden courtiers.

"Because we have a common enemy, the Mongols." Ye Qing took a deep breath, looked at Yan Jing with a sincere look in his eyes and said.

"Mongols?" Wan Yan Jing had a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, back then, when you sent me Dajin and fled all the way north from Wuzhou, you returned to the Song Dynasty through the grassland and the Xia Kingdom, and at that time on the grassland, it seems that you have already become brothers with Temujin, right?" Now you say that you want to join forces with me against your sworn brother, Lord Ye, how do you make me believe that this is not a conspiracy between you and Temujin? ”

"Becoming a brother does not mean that the interests of the family and the country can be harmed because of brotherhood. Let alone....... Ye Qing's gaze shifted to the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and after a pause, he continued: "Temujin's attack on Liao has already shown that brotherhood has been thrown behind by him, and I, Ye Qing, am by no means a pedantic person, how dare I put my personal interests first in the face of the interests of my family and country?" ”

"You are afraid of the Mongols, but I am not afraid of the Mongols. You divided the Xia Kingdom with the Mongols, and also took away most of my territory, but now you want to use the Mongols as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace with me, Ye Qing, the good things in this world can't all be decided by you and do whatever you want, right? Wan Yan Jing shook his head with a smile, and after a pause, he said: "Of course, if you want to negotiate peace, you can also withdraw from Hetao Third Road and Jingzhaofu Road immediately, and then I will stop my army, how about it?" ”

Obviously, the reason given by Ye Qing was completely unable to persuade Yan Jing to agree to the peace talks, and naturally it was even more impossible to persuade the angry and unwilling courtiers behind Yan Jing to agree to the peace talks.

After crossing the Yellow River, they omitted those useless greetings between them, and stood on the embankment facing the cold wind and went straight to the topic of peace, which is enough to show that Wan Yan Jing also intends to negotiate peace, but the chips given by Ye Qing are far from what Wan Yan Jing wants.
