Chapter 749: Lobbying
"I can promise you, even support you, but ...... After all, we have to wait for Jing'er to decide. Wanyan Yongji still had cynicism on his face, and he spread his hands and continued: "The identity of this king is sensitive and special, and it is already the limit to help you say a few words, if there is any encroachment in this matter, I am afraid that the day when this king returns to Yanjing in the future will be almost the same as your Ye Qing's situation in the Lin'an court, and even a little more dangerous." ”
"So what will be my attitude towards Dajin, you can only hope for your letter to Jing'er, can you convince me Dajin Shengshang, let him put aside his prejudices, let down all his guards and agree to your request." After Yan Yongji thought about it, he still reminded Ye Qing and said.
"In the face of great rights and wrongs, it is time to cooperate sincerely, as long as King Wei Shao is willing, it must be ...... The saints of your country are not unreasonable people. I have some understanding of Yan Jing, and naturally he will take this matter into consideration, so ...... It bothered King Wei Shao. Ye Qing slowly got up and saluted King Wei Shao.
Wanyan Yongji was still sitting opposite, calmly watching Ye Qing get up and Zhong Qing who followed him, and nodded with a smile: "I will definitely help you what you should say, including what you left me in Jinan City, what your original intention was, and even the reason why Li Xi'er and Li Tiege were imprisoned by you for a longer time, I will tell me what I know, and let him decide what to do." ”
"I've invited you to this meal today, you can eat as much as you want." Ye Qing walked to the door, turned around and said with a smile.
"Then thank you Lord Ye for your generosity." Wanyan Yongji raised the teacup and said with a smile.
Striding out of Yipinlou, Zhong Qing behind him already needed to trot to keep up with Ye Qing, and after the two got into the carriage, Zhong Qing began to say: "Shi Mi went to the Tatar post house, I don't worry, so I ran over and quickly informed you." As for the Qingwang Mansion, the hot Gongji is now in the Qingwang Mansion, and Yeluyue is also there, if you go over, I am afraid that it will cause unwarranted suspicion from others. ”
"I can't care about it so much, not to mention that after meeting the Holy Lord yesterday, the attitude of the Holy One is still more biased towards my proposal in my opinion. If this thing can be done, even if my Huaxia territory has been divided, no matter what, at least everyone can recognize that they are part of Huaxia. As for who will be able to dominate the country in the future, that is a matter for each imperial court, and it has nothing to do with our current affairs. Ye Qing listened to Zhong Qing's words, and seemed to have some answers to the question, but he still couldn't help but think about whether the future would be like history, and the Mongols of Temujin would unify the whole of China.
Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing helplessly, and then when the carriage passed through Donghua Gate, he got out of the car, got into the sedan chair that Tao Qian had been waiting for a long time, and began to walk towards the palace.
Today, since there is a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys of various countries, in addition to the Holy Lord's personal arrival, the crown prince and the crown princess, who will inherit the throne in a few days, will also go to the palace today, so at this time, Zhong Qing is obviously unable to leave the palace, she also needs to see if there will be other people coming to the palace today, secretly obstructing or obstructing Ye Qing, not to mention, of course, she also hopes to persuade Li Fengniang, hoping that the prince can give Ye Qing some support in this matter.
Ye Qing of Xin'an County Mansion is familiar with it now, but it is the first time to go to Qingwangfu, but fortunately, after Mo Xiaobao learned the lesson of last time, he quickly found Qingwangfu this time.
Ye Qing's arrival still made King Qing, who was somewhat apprehensive in his heart because of the reception of the envoys in the past few days, instantly felt a little more relaxed, and walked out of the hall overjoyed, accompanied by the eunuch and the palace maid, there was still a long distance away from Ye Qing, and he had already begun to greet enthusiastically and impatiently, but instead put aside the distinguished guests who came to the mansion, the princess of the Liao State and the important ministers of the Xia Kingdom.
In King Qing's opinion, whether it is the princess of the Liao State or the hot Gongji of the Xia Kingdom, this time he was invited to the mansion, but it was just because of the court, as for whether he was snubbed, he didn't care, in short, as long as the dispatch of the court was successfully completed, what he did did not arouse the suspicion of the prince was enough.
And Ye Qing's reaction after entering the mansion was beyond King Qing's expectations, naturally he didn't expect that Ye Qing would attach so much importance to Hot Gongji, and he didn't expect that the two would still be old acquaintances.
Therefore, whether it is Temujin or Wanyan Yongji, or the hot Gongji in front of him now, the reason why Ye Qing was able to form in his heart is that his crazy and bold plan is also related to the fact that he has "worked together" with these people.
He fought together with Temujin on the grassland, helped Sangkun's Kereh Department drive out the enemy, and also fought side by side with Hot Gongji in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, because of Ren Dejing, although he had the shallowest friendship with Wanyan Yongji, but now, Jin Guosheng has always regarded himself as his student, and he has been with Wanyan Yongji in Jinan City for more than half a year, so Ye Qing has the confidence to promote this crazy plan, and he is somewhat dependent on his relationship with a few people.
But even so, Ye Qing knew that it was not easy to persuade every force that had a different position and conflicting interests than him to agree to his plan.
Even if the personal relationship is good, when everyone stands on each other's side, for the sake of their own interests, no one will easily agree and make a statement on this matter, let alone ...... Will the Liao people feel attracted by this?
What about the danger of wolves entering the house?
Hot Gongji's wise gaze slowly shifted from Ye Qing, who looked sincere, to the body of Yeluyue, the princess of Liao, the two are close neighbors, for the powerful country called Khorezm on the western frontier of Liao, and the ambition of the Liao people all the year round, he naturally knows more than Song and Jin.
"Princess Chengli can now make all the decisions of the Great Liao Kingdom?" Hot Gongji asked lightly, his eyes like an old fox, full of spying light.
When Yeluyue went to the Xia Kingdom, they could originally use the power of the Xia people to quell the rebellion and Ren Dejing, and then if they could succeed in making peace with the Liao, then the Great Xia Kingdom would have more confidence in the northwest territory for the Jin people.
But who would have thought that the envoys of the Song Dynasty at that time in front of him would take the lead in developing feelings with the princess of Liao, and in the end, although he put down the rebellion against Ren Dejing and his party, it did not let Xia Guo achieve all his goals.
In addition to taking a fancy to the need for the Xia State to get rid of Ren Dejing's internal strife at that time, and the Jin people's external pressure on them, the Liao people naturally also wanted to help them fight against the Khorezmian people who often harassed their frontiers by forming an alliance with the Xia people.
But after all, it was this time and that time, and the Liao State at that time was not as chaotic as it is now, so even if the Liao people could not form an alliance with the Xia State, they relied on their own strength, although it was a little difficult, but they were still able to cope with the perennial harassment of the Khorezm people.
But now, the contradiction between the northern mansion and the southern court of the Liao State, because Yeluyue's aunt Yelupu Suwan, conspired with her brother-in-law to kill her husband, that is, the eldest son of the king of the Southern Courtyard, which made the relationship between Xiao Huli, the king of the Southern Courtyard, and Yelupu Suwan, more and more tense, which led to the Liao State from the royal family to the officials into two distinct factions, which also made them even more powerless to fight against the Khorezm people because of the domestic turmoil.
"Now my aunt also intends to abdicate to Yelu Zhilugu, as Yelu Zhilugu's sister, she can naturally make decisions for her younger brother. What's more, this is also what my aunt meant, hoping to get a helping hand from your country. Ye Luyue, who was finally persuaded by Ye Qing in the past few days, began to sing and follow the way.
From the beginning after arriving in Lin'an, Yeluyue first confided in Ye Qing about the current situation in Liao, and when Ye Qing just proposed to join others to fight against the Khorezmians, Yeluyue's reaction was no different from that of Hot Gongji and Wanyan Yongji, and even some felt that this was too fantastical.
And then, after several days of persuasion by Ye Daguan, Yeluyue, the princess of Liao, finally reluctantly agreed, which in her opinion, was completely unrealistic plan.
Therefore, Ye Luyue, who answered the hot Gongji words at this time, still had a trace of unconfidence in her tone, not to mention, she didn't know if Ye Qing had persuaded Jin Guo and the Tatars until now.
There are no grudges between the Tatars and her Yelu Tieyi, the Loose Army, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Qu Zhulu have all stabbed Temujin in the back, the vast grassland is so big, and there are so many tribes, she doesn't believe that Temujin still doesn't know who was behind Sangkun in the first place, supporting Sankun against him Temujin.
So for Ye Luyue, who has a weak heart, what she can do now is to completely let go of Ye Qing, let Ye Qing run for the life and death of Liao, and she only needs to follow the words he persuaded herself to be willing to let these people help Da Liao.
The treacherous and cunning hot Gongji, listening to Ye Luyue's answer, just smiled silently and nodded, if he couldn't see it now, all of this was due to Ye Qing's advice, then he, an important minister who had been in the court of the Xia Kingdom for many years, could be said to be alive to a dog at an age.
Now the form of the Liao State, in addition to the Liao people themselves, I am afraid that the most clear is their close neighbor Xia State, as for the Tatars on the steppe, they are still fighting for the interests of various tribes, so they have not yet paid attention to the situation of the Liao people.
"What can I get from the Great Xia Kingdom?" Hot Gongji was silent for a while, and then did not look at Ye Luyue, who was in charge, but asked Ye Qing.
"What do you want?" Ye Qingpi asked with a smile.
It's just a short sentence from each other, but the two of them already have a tacit understanding, and Hot Gongji believes that Ye Qing already knows what he wants at this moment.
"You can call the shots on this?" Hot Gongji asked.
"If your country has a small appetite, Ye Qing can fight the risk of losing his head to make way for your country. But if your appetite is too great, the Tatars and the Jin people will probably not be willing, not to mention, if your appetite is too big, it is likely to attract backlash, and then you will be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Lord Ye is selfish this time?" Hot Gongji asked again.
"Of course, there is, if you say no, I'm afraid you don't believe it, right?" Ye Qing replied with a smile.
The two of them were like playing dumb riddles, and Ye Luyue and Qingwang Zhao Kai next to them were confused, I don't know if the two of them are asking words, what are they talking about, is this really able to reach a consensus!
"But it's not a long-term plan after all, the old man knows the situation in Liao better than you, and now it's ......." Hot Gongji still looked at it with some scruples
looked at Yeluyue, and then continued: "After all, it is the end of the day, and the trend of losing the country has appeared, Lord Ye's move is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and he can save it for a while, and he can't help him for a lifetime." ”
"Do you think my Da Liao is really as unbearable as you say? Don't forget, Ren Dejing wanted to divide the country and become the emperor back then, and your country survived in such a situation, will my Da Liao only fall apart because of a small contradiction? Yeluyue sank her face and retorted coldly.
Although the Liao State is now a powerful Khorezm that is difficult to resist alone, the Liao people do not believe that they are in danger of losing the country under the chaos of external and internal troubles, so in her opinion, this is more like a bargain with Ye Qing, wanting to seek more benefits.
Even now she doesn't know whether Ye Qing has reached a consensus with Hot Gongji in what Ye Qing said just now, but it is absolutely inevitable to make concessions.
"Time will tell." Hot Gongji was not angry because of Yeluyue's cold and dissatisfied tone, and still said calmly: "If it is replaced by the Xia Kingdom when Ren Dejing was the emperor back then, and it is in the territory where your country is located now, then the Xia Kingdom is also in danger. But fortunately, my Great Xia still has a slight geographical advantage, that is, it is not under the blood basin of the Khorezmian people, so in the absence of external troubles, there are only internal worries at that time, it is obviously impossible to lose the country. And your country is different, the Tatars on the steppe are rising, getting stronger and stronger, and now they have dared to take revenge on the Jin, if once the Tatars become stronger, their eyes will inevitably go west, and then your Daliao will still be in danger, of course, if the Tatars become stronger, my Daxia will also fall into danger. But in any case, now that there are Khorezm in the west and the Tatars in the east, a formidable enemy, Princess Chengli, there must be no need for me to continue talking about the situation in your country, right? ”
Yeluyue listened to the analysis of Hot Gongji, and didn't know how to refute it for a while, not to mention that what Hot Gongji said was true, and it was also a true portrayal of the dilemma that Da Liao was in now, but it was thought that Da Liao would be a country that was about to die in the twilight of life, and no one would feel comfortable listening to it.
So Yeluyue just snorted coldly, and then stopped paying attention to the old and spicy words of Hot Gongji.
And how could Ye Qing not know that even if he was so running and lobbying, it was only a temporary way to renew the life of Da Liao, if he wanted Da Liao not to die, unless the sun could come out of the west.
But no matter what, he wanted to try, and his real purpose was not to help Da Liao get out of the predicament, but to make the Jin, Tatars, and Xia people realize that everyone was a part of the Chinese territory, and the Khorezm people were real foreigners.
Behind closed doors, you can mess up, you can fight, you can do anything, but when a real foreign enemy knocks on the door of peace on the border and wants to harass the tranquility of the Chinese territory, Ye Qing of course hopes that the Song, Jin, Xia, and Tatars can put aside their prejudices and unite to fight against foreign enemies together, instead of being scattered as always, giving real foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of.
Of course, if possible, he also wanted to open a door for Temujin to see a more open geopolitical world, and when he became stronger and bigger, his eyes were not only limited to the Central Plains, it was best to ignore the Central Plains, but to be able to strategically point directly at Khorezm west of the Liao State, and from here to vent the aggressiveness of their steppe wolves, instead of causing chaos in the Central Plains.
"How, if Lord Ye agrees to make concessions, I can call the shots today, when Lord Ye leads the army to the Liao Kingdom, my Great Xia Kingdom will definitely send elites equal to Lord Ye to help the Liao Kingdom resist the Khorezmian people." Hot Gongji completely took the initiative in this negotiation, and after choking Yeluyue with a dissatisfied snort, he set his eyes on the silent Ye Qing.
"As long as you have this ability, Ye Qing will never interfere, and the two will not help each other, how about it?" Ye Qing sighed heavily.
"Lord Ye is now just a pacification envoy on Huainan East Road, why did he send Yu Yunwen who restrained Jingzhaofu Road? Or is Lord Ye also planning to lobby like today? Hot Gongji asked with a smile.
"Your country must have lost a lot of silver over the years because of the closure of the town by the Jin Kingdom, if Lord Yu Yunwen hadn't turned a blind eye, your country's losses would have been even greater, right? And even if it's me Ye Qing personally, I know ....... Ye Qing said with a dumb riddle.
"In this way, now that Lord Ye is above the Song court, he has not yet reached the position of influencing the national policy by himself? So how to guarantee it? "Hot Gongji can be described as very old and spicy, difficult, just now I was asking Ye Qing is now just a pacification envoy on Huainan East Road, and then Ye Qing played dumb riddle words, or was insightful by Hot Gongji, and saw through today's Ye Qing at a glance, above the Song Dynasty court, it is far from reaching a high position that can influence the national policy.
"See you at the palace banquet today, how about it?" Ye Qing took a deep breath and looked at the eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his thoughts and said.
Hot Gongji smiled and said lightly: "The old man believes that Lord Ye has this ability, so I will congratulate Lord Ye first." ”
King Qing on the side was even more confused than just now, even if he accompanied him from beginning to end, but in the end, what agreement Ye Qing reached with Hot Gongji, what did they want to do, he was still in ignorance, he only knew that it seemed that Ye Qing's conversation with Hot Gongji involved the safety of the Liao State.
