1223 Manning Palace

Holding Ye Fuxue out of Chongxiao Temple, and when he was about to get into the carriage, he saw Li Shi'er in a white fur not far away, and Wanyan Chen Monk and Wanyan Xilie who followed behind, looking at the faces of the three of them with a little red, obviously they had been waiting here for a long time.

Put Ye Fuxue, who buried her little face in her arms because of the cold, into the carriage, and motioned for Jia Shi to send the little girl back to the house first, and Ye Qing walked alone in the direction where Li Shi'er and the three of them were standing.

It has been half a month since he returned to Yanjing, and since he saw Li Shi'er on the day he returned to Yanjing, Ye Qing has never bothered Li Shi'er again.

Like a patient competition, Ye Qing admired Li Shi'er who couldn't hold his breath and came to him after half a month, and he had to say that since Yan Jing was killed, Li Shi'er wanted to be much more stable than before.

The entire Wanning Palace has been deserted, and even the various schools on both sides of the Qianbu Corridor in front, the three provinces and six ministries and other government offices, including the Taimiao Temple, have been in a state of empty buildings since Wan Yan Jing left.

The gates of the palace, which were originally heavily guarded, are now less guarded by the guards they should have, and the canal that runs through the west side of the palace is no longer the fun of the year in the eyes of Li Shi'er at this moment.

In the palace, whether it is the two lakes in the same paradise or the larger fish algae pond, the water surface has already been frozen in the cold winter, and the sparse yellow branches and fallen leaves are swaying on the ice with the cold wind, as if she is greeting her original owner cordially.

The palace seems to be very dilapidated and lonely, since the Jin Kingdom left, Li Shi'er can also see that the Song people have no concern for the entire palace at all, just like ...... Just like the palace of Kaifeng Mansion of the Song Dynasty after the Jin people occupied it at that time, there was a smell of decay and desolation everywhere.

Wanning Palace is much larger than the Song Imperial Palace in Kaifeng Mansion, so when the unattended Wanning Palace looks dilapidated and desolate, the taste of depression will naturally be stronger.

Entering from the Danfeng Gate is the Thousand Steps Corridor, on both sides of the Thousand Steps Corridor are the various government offices, as well as some places where the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom sacrifices, and then the end of the Thousand Steps Corridor is the Ying Tian Gate and the Da'an Gate, and only after entering can it be regarded as entering the real palace.

The originally beautiful buildings such as the fish algae pond on the left are already dilapidated, and Li Shi'er of the East Palace on the right doesn't need to think about it at all, knowing that it will not be much better if no one takes care of it.

After crossing the Da'an Gate, Li Shi'er is slightly familiar with some buildings, the first thing that catches your eye is the Da'an Palace, the palace of Nuoda is still standing majestically between heaven and earth, but the majesty of the royal family is now not the slightest from the shell of the main hall.

Ye Qing's voice came from time to time in his ears, not caring at all about Li Shi'er's cold expression and emotions, let alone paying attention to the deep faces of Monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xilie behind him, and told Li Shi'er with great interest that after the Yuan Day, Wanning Palace would become a beautiful plan for the Song Dynasty Yanjing Academy.

The East Palace will naturally be regarded as a school, as for the fish algae pond and the same paradise on the west side, it is naturally a place for scholars to relax, and through the Xuanming Gate behind the Da'an Palace, and then across the Renzheng Gate, the buildings and palaces inside, Li Shi'er will not be wrong even if he closes his eyes now.

Monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xilie did not follow Ye Qing and Li Shi'er into the Renzheng Palace, and at this time, the scene in the Renzheng Hall was completely different from the environment that Li Shi'er was familiar with, and it had long since lost the solemnity and solemnity of being the main hall of the Jin Dynasty in her impression, and there was no one

The hustle and bustle she was familiar with in the past.

The corners and corners have been covered with cobwebs, and even the rows of chairs in the hall are still thick with dust, and the empty hall now looks particularly depressed and gloomy.

"Sir is not here to make me feel sad, right?" After looking at Xiao Suo's lonely Renzheng Palace, Li Shi'er slowly lowered his head, looked at Ye Qing's clear footprints on the dust on the ground and said.

"The Jin State Seal is certainly useful to Wan Yan Xun, but it is useless to me." Ye Qing looked straight ahead, the dragon chair that originally belonged to Wan Yan Jing was now already covered with dust and cobwebs, and it seemed so lonely and lonely at this time, as if it was like a tablet.

"I know that the seal of the Jin Kingdom is of no value to Mr., but if Mr. wants to use this seal to negotiate peace with Wan Yan Xun, Shi'er will never agree." Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing's tall back, and her heart was full of melancholy and helplessness.

She knew that Ye Qing would never hurt their mother and son, but now she was not sure whether the reason why Ye Qing chose to protect and not hurt their mother and son was because Wan Yan Jing had more entrustment, or because she could blackmail Wan Yan Xun more.

"Jing'er entrusts me to take care of your mother and son, and I will never break my word." Ye Qing turned around and looked at Li Shi'er's calm eyes, then sighed slightly and said, "Yes, Wan Yanxun did send someone to send an invitation yesterday, and after the Yuan Dynasty, ...... The envoys of the Mongolian State and the envoys of the Song court, I, Ye Qing, will go to Shangjing Mansion to ....... ”

"So you're not going to help our mother and son get revenge?" Li Shi'er raised her chin slightly, and her originally calm eyes became a little fierce and indignant.

"I never promised you...... I want to help you avenge Jing'er....... Ye Qing frowned slightly.

"But you're going to use our mother and son as bargaining chips in your hands to take this opportunity to collect money, aren't you?" Li Shi'er obviously doesn't have much patience, especially when talking to people like Ye Qing, if he doesn't say it bluntly, he will always suffer in the end: "And you use our mother and son to collect gold, the ultimate purpose is to incorporate the territory of the Jin Kingdom into the territory of the Song Dynasty, not to avenge our mother and son, so ...... Why should I be used by you? I could have just walked away. ”

"Although the world is big, where can your mother and son go?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, and after a pause, he continued: "What's more, since Jing'er has entrusted your mother and son to me, how could I let you leave Yanjing regardless of your safety?" ”

"You? Are you going to put our mother and son under house arrest? Li Shi'er was angry, looking at Ye Qing's light and breezy appearance, and said hatefully.

Ye Qing shook his head silently, and then walked through the Renzheng Hall and continued to walk towards the depths of Wanning Palace, Li Shi'er was stunned for a moment, and then followed Ye Qing's footsteps and walked inside.

"Even if I want to help your mother and son avenge you, how can the Mongols let go of the opportunity to win gold?" Ye Qing said to Li Shi'er, who was following behind him, without looking back: "Since you were able to learn in such a quick time that I had received an invitation from Wan Yan Xun, then you should also know what the real purpose of Temujin personally leading his troops to retreat from Tibet to the east was, right?" ”

Li Shi'er, who followed behind, closed her lips tightly, and her white fur looked particularly bright and agile in the winter sun.

"Even if it's my Ye Qing's idea of not fighting the Jin Kingdom, just

Even I, Ye Qing, am willing to help your mother and son take revenge, but ...... What do you mothers and sons do to protect the precarious Dajin Kingdom? Ye Qing still didn't look back, and regardless of whether there was Li Shi'er behind him, he continued: "I have always been afraid of the Mongolian iron horse, even today, even if I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, but in the face of the Mongolian iron horse, Ye Qing does not have much confidence ....... ”

"Jin Guo is willing to serve you as a concubine, can't this also allow you to help our mother and son resist the Mongols' coveting of us?" Li Shi'er lowered his head and said.

"I'm willing, but am I willing to be part of the Song Dynasty?" Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Li Shi'er, who also stopped, and said slowly: "Jingkang's shame will not completely disappear with the weakness of the Jin State and your submission to the Song Court, this hatred and shame will always remain in the hearts of the people and soldiers of the Song Court, and will never be erased." Even if I can help your mother and son regain the throne of the Jin Kingdom, what reason should I use to convince the armies of all walks of life to send troops to help the Jin Kingdom in time when it is threatened by the Mongols? ”

Li Shi'er blinked her bright eyes in the cold winter, and when Ye Qing said the last, she unconsciously remembered the scene when Ye Qing rescued her and Wan Yan Jing from the Mongols.

As if knowing what Li Shi'er, who was slightly distracted, was thinking, Ye Qing sighed a little helplessly and continued: "When I decided to lead the Flower Planter Army to save you and Wan Yan Jing from the Mongols, I didn't have any worries, and even in the Flower Planter Army, there were different voices. But fortunately, the Flower Planter Army was built by me, and its personal loyalty to me has exceeded its loyalty to the Song Ting, coupled with their unconditional trust in me, so I was able to rush in time to save you and Jing'er. As for the other armies, although they are now also sent by me Ye Qing, these are based on one of the most basic conditions, that is, every battle I lead them to fight is for the Great Song Dynasty, not for me personally. And if you want to fight for your mother and son in the future...... ”

"But aren't you going to send troops to the Kingdom of Jin under the pretext of avenging our mother and son?" Li Shi'er looked up and asked.

"Yes, I will still use this excuse, but no one wants to see that after Yan Xun, there will be an emperor of the Jin Kingdom, even if it is a puppet." Ye Qing said categorically.

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing, who was calm and ruthless, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction and anger, in the final analysis, the reason why Ye Qing was unwilling to help their mother and son avenge was because of his own rights and ambitions.

Looking at Ye Qing with some resentment for a moment, Li Shi'er seemed to have compromised, and said, "If the Jin Kingdom dies at your hands, how do you plan to treat our mother and son?" ”

"The murderer of Jing'er is not Wanyan Xun alone, the Korean people are also one of the murderers, at that time, as long as your mother and son are willing, I, Ye Qing, am willing to help your mother and son avenge the Korean people for Jing'er......." Ye Qing looked at Li Shi'er's eyes and said firmly, but before he could finish speaking, Li Shi'er snorted coldly, and then suddenly turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Li Shi'er decisively turning to leave, Ye Qing sighed slightly, not enough for him to believe that since he had come to this point, then Li Shi'er would take the initiative to negotiate with him, but now, it was obvious that the Korean people he had just mentioned had exceeded the scope of their plans, so Li Shi'er had to discuss countermeasures with Monk Wanyan Chen and others.

(PS: I don't know what to say, there is a reason for stopping the change anyway, it's my fault that I didn't ask for leave, I'm sorry for everyone.) )
