Chapter 414 Public opinion

Wuzhou was originally a heavy city for the Jin people to guard against the Tatars, so in the past two months in Wuzhou, Ye Qing has seen a lot of Jin people's iron cavalry and other soldiers in Wuzhou, but since the first coal yard was on the right track, the Jin people's troops in Wuzhou have undergone slight changes, which makes Ye Qing have to deal with it carefully.

And the reason why he wants to continue mining two more coal yards is to attract the attention of Qishi Lie Zhining and leave an opportunity for himself to set a way back.

Similarly, now he also needs to make plans in advance, and spread some things about him in Jinguo for himself and others in Lin'an, which is conducive to his return to Lin'an.

After all, if the Jin people deliberately spread rumors unfavorable to themselves in Lin'an, then at that time, even if he can return to Lin'an unharmed, I am afraid that Zhao Gou will not be easy to pass.

What's more, now that he has learned from Wan Yan Jing that the edict to exempt the Great Song Dynasty from next year has been issued by Wan Yan Yong, and it will soon reach the hands of Lin'an Zhao Gou.

In this way, once Zhao Gou gets what he wants, then other people in the court will inevitably know about it, and Zhao Gou will obviously tell the world and trumpet the fact that he was exempted from the New Year's coin by the Jin State.

And when the time comes, I'm afraid that some people will slander and spread rumors because of this incident to frame themselves, right?

After all, there are many people who don't want to see themselves who have made such great achievements, and they definitely don't want to see that when they return to Lin'an, they are welcomed by Wei Qi and welcomed by the saints.

Therefore, for Ye Qing, it is not too early to start creating a public opinion offensive for himself now, and it is even an urgent matter.

The strategy of public opinion offensive is obviously not a very strange thing to the Song people, and it is actually completely unclear who is right and wrong between Zhu Xi and Tang Zhongli.

However, in the fact that the two people used their influence among literati to wantonly pour sewage on each other, spread rumors, and attack each other's reputation, it is enough to see that this kind of thing of occupying the commanding heights of public opinion and spreading rumors to bring down a person is already a familiar means for the Song people.

Wan Yan Yong's hand was holding the secret music of Qishi Lie Zhining, and he couldn't make a decision.

In Wan Yan Yong's heart, Ye Qing is indeed a rare talent, through the secret music of Qi Shi Lie Zhining, the description of Wan Yan Jing is enough to see that in just a few months, Wan Yan Jing has grown a lot more than in Yanjing City.

Wan Yan Yun respectfully walked into the imperial study, and after looking at Wan Yan Yong with a solemn expression, he stood aside respectfully, until Wan Yan Yong handed him the secret music in his hand.

"What does Father mean? Do you really want to ......? Wanyan Yungong put down the secret music and asked with some surprise.

"Jing'er's safety doesn't have to worry, not to mention that everything is going on in secret, and when Ye Qing finds out, Jing'er has already been protected by Qishi Lie Zhining." Wan Yanyong looked at the music on the table, sighed heavily and continued: "It's a pity that such a talent, if it can be used by me, Dajin will be like a tiger with wings." ”

"Why don't you let Erchen go to Wuzhou to convince him again? If it is really as Qi Shi Lie Zhining's recital said, there is already a deep teacher-student relationship between Ye Qing and Jing'er, can Jing'er be used to fight for Ye Qing again? Wan Yan Yungong frowned, sat down slowly and said.

"I'm afraid it's useless, from the time Jing'er followed Ye Qing to Wuzhou, Ye Qing knew that this was my idea, but he still chose to return to Lin'an, so it is enough to show that Ye Qing never thought of returning to my command from the beginning." Wan Yanyong said with some confusion.

Weighing all kinds of pros and cons, for Wan Yanyong, killing Ye Qing did not get the benefits that Ye Qing could get at all, so in order to let Ye Qing see the sincerity, on the first day that the Wuzhou coal yard was on the right track, he immediately issued an edict to Song Ting Zhao Gou: exempt the New Year's coins from next year.

Such a move is not only because of the inexhaustible coal yard, but the most important thing is that he wants Ye Qing to see that he has completed Yan Yong's attention and sincerity to him Ye Qing, and hopes that Ye Qing can be obedient because of this.

But judging from the music of Qishi Lie Zhining, Ye Qing never had the idea of returning to Dajin, even if he was also selfless to Wan Yanjing, he never thought of returning to Dajin.

Ye Qing's firm attitude made Wan Yanyong have to feel a trace of frustration and anger, after all, he was so courteous and so easily agreed to exempt the Song Dynasty coin, it was completely for the sake of Ye Qing being a rare talent.

"Then in this way, wouldn't it really make that Zhao Gou cheap, after all, you have exempted the Song Dynasty from paying tribute." Wan Yan Yungong said.

Wan Yanyong smiled confidently and said slowly: "In Ye Qing's words, the so-called wool is out of the sheep, and I can exempt them from the annual tribute, so naturally I can also let them take the initiative to send the annual tribute again, right?" Let's go back in a few years, let Zhao Gou live a real comfortable life for a few years, Dajin also needs to cultivate and recuperate for a few years, and at that time, it is not difficult to send troops south again and get back what the Song people owe, right? ”

Wan Yan Yungong nodded thoughtfully, his father is a man of great talent, since Wan Yan Liang attacked the Song Dynasty and was killed by his subordinates in a mutiny, there are indeed various hidden worries and internal troubles in the Jin Kingdom.

Wan Yanliang's death, although the main reason was Wan Yanliang's brutality, is also inseparable from Dajin's continuous conquest for many years, from the military generals to the soldiers, who have become somewhat war-weary.

Since his father's accession to the throne, he has shrunk his forces in large numbers, and most of them have been recalled by his father, and then he has laid down his weapons and picked up again the farm tools they have not picked up for many years.

The reason why he did this was that his father saw the internal troubles caused by Dajin's repeated attacks on the Song Dynasty and the Xia and Tatars over the years, so he had to adopt the method of cultivating and recuperating to give Dajin time and let Dajin recover his depleted morale from top to bottom.

"Then it seems that Ye Qing has to die? But if I die in my Dajin, will it arouse the Song people's greater hatred of my Dajin? After all, the Song people ...... me Dajin. Wan Yan Yungong said with some concern.

"There is no perfect thing in the world, Ye Qing died in Wuzhou, it is better than letting him return to Lin'an to raise tigers." Wan Yanyong grabbed the piece and crumpled it vigorously and said.

With the two coal seams outside the southern city of Wuzhou, under the insistence of Wan Yanjing, they were also successfully mined, and the palace in Lin'an City was also full of lights and joyful and lively.

The ministers above the court, one by one, also seemed to have some happy event coming to the door, and everyone's face was filled with a relaxed smile like raising eyebrows.

From the high-ranking Zhao Gou to even a small court official, everyone has been announcing to the world for the present day that from next year, they will no longer celebrate and cheer for the payment of gold coins.

Zhao Gou feasted the ministers in Deshou Palace and Zhao Yan in Lingxu Pavilion for several days, but among everyone, including Zhao Gou, no one mentioned Ye Qing, the envoy who was able to facilitate this time.

As if forgotten by people, when the ministers congratulated Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan, they all seemed to have discussed it, and they all forgot about Ye Qing, the envoy who was still in the Jin Kingdom, as if there had never been such a person in the Lin'an court.

But the most unexpected thing is that whether it is above the court or between the streets and alleys, after a few days of silence, several officials above the court, led by Xiao Zhen, the prefect of Lin'an, began to mention Ye Qing's various things in the Jin Kingdom above the court.

As someone mentioned it in the court, the Da Wazi generation, the peddlers and pawns outside the Wulin Gate, and other businessmen and literati, and even those storytellers in restaurants and tea shops, began to spread some of Ye Qing's heroic deeds in the Jin Kingdom.

How Ye Qing was unmoved in the face of the temptation of the Jin people, and thus refused to submit to Dajin.

How Ye Qing faced the threat of the Jin people's force, he still showed the loyal and brave side of the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the face of the ridicule and threats of the Jin people, how did Ye Qing argue with reason in the court of the Jin people, after more than two months of lobbying, and the battle of wits and courage with the Jin courtiers.

Several times when his life was in danger, with his extraordinary wisdom and calmness, as well as the earnest teachings of the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Emperor on weekdays, he finally defeated the courtiers of the Jin people, and won the moment of exempting the New Year's coins for the imperial court.

Of course, among them, Ye Qing is just an envoy, but he has fulfilled the responsibility of a courtier, and most of the credit is due to the advice given to him by the Emperor Taishang before leaving, as well as the ardent expectations of the saint for him.

Therefore, every time Ye Qing faced the threat and oppression of the Jin people, cold words and endless ridicule, and faced countless cold and miserable nights alone, when he felt powerless and weak and wanted to give up.

As long as he thought of the majestic gaze of the Emperor Taishang illuminating him, and remembering the high hopes of the Holy Lord for him to inspire him, Ye Qing's heart seemed to be like a fire, which made him full of fighting spirit again at once, making him seem to have found the confidence and direction to continue to fight with the Jin people again in the dark night, and strengthened the sense of responsibility and mission in his heart.

Therefore: in the final analysis, Ye Qing's ability to achieve such feats in the negotiation process with the Jin people in the Jin Kingdom is inseparable from the Emperor Taishang's dedication to advice and advice, as well as the encouragement and high hopes of the Holy Lord.

In the negotiation with the Jin people, to be able to achieve such a victory and result, he Ye Qing just did what an envoy should do, that is, to convey the will of the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Lord to the Jin people, and there was nothing to be proud of.

Of course, if there is any, it is that when he faced the temptation of the Jin people, he always had a firm loyalty to the court, the emperor, and the saint in his heart, which was the biggest gain and credit of his Ye Qing's mission to the Jin country this time.
