The news that Ye Qing was invited to the Mongolian post house, Wan Yan Yongji had already learned about it at the first time, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Qing had stayed in the Mongolian post house for so long.

Therefore, since Ye Qing entered the Mongolian post house, he has been waiting for almost the same amount of time in the teahouse diagonally opposite the post house, and he no longer knows how many pots of tea he wants.

It wasn't until Yan Yongji drank that he wanted to vomit when he saw the tea, even though he ran to the toilet several times in a row, but when he walked, there was still a gurgling sound in his stomach, and he saw a vague figure at the door of the Mongolian post house.

After hurriedly ordering Yelu Chucai, who was following next to him, to settle the bill, Wanyan Yongji quickly rushed out of the teahouse and ran towards the figures.

Ye Qing, who was about to get into the carriage, heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he saw that it was Wanyan Yongji, he instantly understood why he met him here.

After making an appointment, Yan Yongji got into the carriage, and inadvertently glanced at the few officials who followed Yan Yongji over, and his eyes did not stop on Yelu Chucai's body.

Because of the drunkenness two days ago, in order to maintain Wanyan Yongji, Yelu Chucai even thought that King Wei Shao was poisoned, and did not hesitate to go to Yefu alone to ask for an antidote, which made Wanyan Yongji now attach great importance to Yelu Chucai.

Ye Qing on the carriage nodded clearly, and after Yan Yongji praised Yelu Chucai, he asked casually: "Yelu Chucai should be Liao, right?" ”

Wanyan Yongji smiled: "It's long gone, and now his father is my great golden official department secretary, and he has been a golden man since his grandfather." ”

The carriage swayed rhythmically on the streets of Jinan Mansion, although Jinan Mansion at night is not as noisy and lively as Lin'an, but it is not like other cities, once it enters the night, there are no pedestrians on the street.

Shops, restaurants, etc. are still soliciting business, although they are not as lively as during the day, but in this slight desertion, there is a rare peace and tranquility.

The reason why Wanyan Yongji appeared at the door of the Mongolian post house, Ye Qing already knew it when he saw Wanyan Yongji, so on the way back to the house, Ye Qing pretended to be confused, after all, tomorrow is the day when he made an agreement with Wanyan Yongji and waited for him to go to Yidu to help him deal with the powerful Yanning in that place.

The carriage stopped in front of the Ye Mansion, that is, the mansion of the former Wei Shao Wang, Wanyan Yongji now has long since lost the feeling when he just left Jinan, and from the bottom of his heart, he has already acquiesced that this is Ye Qing's mansion, and it has nothing to do with him at all.

"By the way, Lord Ye, tomorrow...... Who are you going to send to follow me to Yidu? Wanyan Yongji asked after sitting down in the front hall.

"Who does King Wei Shao think is more appropriate? Now that the Mongolian envoy is still in Jinan, it is obvious that Ye cannot go with King Wei Shao. Ye Qing once again pointed out the fact that the Mongols were still in Jinan and said.

And Wanyan Yongji is also quite good at beating snakes with sticks, so he asked along Ye Qing's topic: "By the way, I don't know if the Mongolians invited you to the post house today for ......?" ”

"Yes, it is to make an alliance with them and give up the alliance with your country." Ye Qing replied frankly.

Wanyan Yongji's expression instantly became a little surprised, looking at Ye Qing's elusive smile, and asked seriously, "What does Lord Ye mean?" ”

"They threatened to form an alliance with your country, so although they talked for a long time in the Mongolian post house today, there was no real progress." Ye Qing said with a smile.

I could clearly feel that after Ye Qing finished speaking, Wanyan Yongji's tense nerves instantly relaxed, but after thinking about it slightly, he still asked Ye Qing for verification: "Lord Ye, I can't hide it, just like Lord Ye guessed, although there was a strong blood feud between my Dajin and your country and now Mongolia, but whether it is me or the Holy Lord, I actually know very well in my heart that in the current situation, an alliance with Lord Ye is obviously more advantageous than the Mongols, not to mention, Zamuhe's head had already been given to Lord Ye in good faith, plus some of the ...... from your country that I brought with me this time. "Wanyan Yongji is now a little unable to say the treasured jewels that were looted from the Song Imperial Palace.

"Naturally, King Wei Shao's sincerity in coming to Jinan this time Ye Mou is deeply in his eyes, and he won't tell you that Ye Mou is also inclined to form an alliance with your country, just as King Wei Shao said on the first day he came to Jinan, so far, Ye Mou has no intention of changing his position. It's just that....... Ye Qing groaned slightly embarrassed.

"Just what? As long as I can call the shots, then I will definitely agree to Lord Ye without hesitation. As soon as Yan Yongji finished, he felt that his right eyelid suddenly jumped violently, plus he had dealt with Ye Qing so much over the years, so at this juncture, how could he not know that Ye Qing was going to start sitting on the ground next.

"The Mongols put a lot of pressure on me in order to form an alliance with me, so I guess King Wei Shao should know very well, right?" Ye Qing pretended to be considerate and said.

"That's nature, that's nature." Wanyan Yongji nodded and agreed, but he also had to say that eight thousand cows, sheep and horses may not be anything in Ye Qing's eyes, but if it is placed in the current Jin Country or Mongolia, this is indeed a huge sincerity, so Wanyan Yongji somewhat understands Ye Qing's difficulties.

"Although Xia and Liao are dead now, their royal family has not been wiped out by us, and naturally, they have not suffered a lot ......of humiliation in your country like your country did to my Great Song Clan." Ye Qing's gaze was like two knives, which made Wanyan Yongji on the other side feel a little flustered, and he had to avoid Ye Qing's fierce eyes.

"Lord Ye...... The past is ...... Why don't we look ahead? Tell me, my lord, if there is any difficulty that you need my help with, as long as I can do it...... No, even if I can't make the decision, I will advise the Holy Lord to agree to solve the problems for Lord Ye. Wanyan Yongji patted his chest and said.

Originally, in the matter of Yidu Yanning, what they did in Dajin was a little inauthentic, and now the Mongols are so sincere to form an alliance with Ye Qing, and Ye Qing is now inclined to form an alliance with their Dajin, in Wanyan Yongji's view, this is probably Dajin's last chance, if it is not grasped well, once Mongolia and Song form an alliance, then think at worst, it is not just as simple as being divided by the two countries.

Especially the evil deeds of the Jin people back then are too numerous to mention, if after the death of the country, the royal family will fall into the hands of the Song people, but if it falls into the hands of the Mongols, Wanyan Yongji can't help but feel numb in the scalp, he doesn't even dare to think about how miserable the royal family of the Jin Kingdom will be once they fall into the hands of the Mongols.

This is not the alarmist rhetoric of Wanyan Yongji, or Wanyan Jing and other Jin courtiers, but because it took only a year for the Song and Mongolia countries to die, one of them died of the Liao State, and the other divided the Xia State with it, and during this period of time, they Dajin originally wanted to take advantage of Ye Qing's war with the Xia State to take advantage of the weakness to enter the Hetao Three Roads, but in the end, Ye Qing led the troops to refuse to advance half a step on the bank of the Yellow River.

It is precisely because of the rapid demise of Liao and Xia, as well as the reason why the Jin people originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob but returned in vain, that it is difficult for the Jin country to form a confident voice on diplomatic warfare as strong as it was in the court, but it is like the voice of seeking peace like the weak Song Dynasty at the beginning, and now it has become more and more high above the court.

Although the Jin Kingdom is not yet in danger for everyone, watching the Liao and Xia perish so quickly also makes the Jin Kingdom pinch for itself, and now that the Mongols and the Song are becoming more and more powerful, they have to start preparing for the worst.

"The Liao and Xia clans are in my hands, but it is precisely because of my hands that many remnants of the two countries have begun to defect to Li An'an of the Xia State and Princess Chengli of the Liao State, and these tens of thousands of people have to eat and dress, although the north has improved over the years, it will take a few years to completely recover after the famine, so now if you want to raise these people, Ye Mou has ...... in his pocket." Ye Qing spread his hands in a helpless manner.

Wanyan Yongji looked at Ye Qing's innocent appearance, glanced at the teacup he had just picked up, and then a disgusting feeling came to his heart.

Ye Qing is going to rip off the bamboo...... No, this is the meaning of going back one by one at this time.

Looking at Wanyan Yongji, who was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer, Ye Qing sighed and continued: "The Mongols naturally have spies in the Northland, and for some reason, they have a relationship with Li An'an of the Xia Kingdom. King Weishao, think about it, if you were me, and the Mongols threatened me with this, would you say that I would be in alliance with them or not? ”

Ye Qing spread his hands and continued innocently: "If I resist the pressure and don't form an alliance with the Mongols, the Mongols will instigate Li An'an to restore the country, and then there will be chaos in the north, how can I form an alliance with your country to fight against the Mongols at that time?" I'm afraid that I, Ye Qing, will have to destroy my own chaos first, right? ”

"So ......." Wanyan Yongji felt that his throat was a little tight, and he wanted to drink tea to moisten it, but he had already poured tea into his stomach for an afternoon today, and now he was disgusted and wanted to vomit when he saw the tea: "So the Mongolians are using this to blackmail Lord Ye, so if Lord Ye forms an alliance with the Mongolians...... Won't they encourage Lee to return to the country safely? ”

"Yes, exactly. If I choose to form an alliance with them, then their Mongols also occupy a lot of the territory of the Xia Kingdom, how can they still trick Li An'an into returning to the country? Ye Qing said approvingly.

"Yes...... Lord Ye can be completely uncontrolled by others, ...... You ...... directly. Wanyan Yongji made a motion to wipe his neck and said.

At this time, the smile on Ye Qing's face became a little gloomy: "Yes, what King Wei Shao said is a good idea, it's just ...... If I do Li An'an like this, will the people of Xia Kingdom and those remnants of the army fight with me? When the time comes, if I am too busy to contain the Mongols, it will be ...... if the Mongols take revenge on your country by taking advantage of the death of Zamuhe. ”

"Lord Ye is really a good plan." Wanyan Yongji didn't wait for Ye Qing to finish speaking, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, when it comes to this, if Wanyan Yongji hasn't understood Ye Qing's intentions, then he, the King of Wei Shao, who was entrusted with important tasks by Wanyan Jing, will live most of his life in vain.

The advantages inside and outside were taken advantage of by him Ye Qing alone, and it was really as Ye Qing said, Dajin cut off Zamuhe's head as a sincere gesture to Ye Qing, this step now seems to be a bit too reckless.

Although Zamuhe can't achieve the same influence as Li An'an and Yeluyue, if Zamuhe is still alive, it will always be a life-saving bargaining chip for the Jin people, and now they have cut off their heads as sincerity and sent them to Ye Qing, which is equivalent to using up a bargaining chip that can save lives on both sides at one time.

Obviously, it is not as good as Ye Qing is now, holding the royal families of Xia and Liao, which are already dispensable in the eyes of the world, and using them all over the world as bargaining chips to bargain.

Ye Qing's approach is obviously much more flexible and effective than the Jin people's treatment of Zamuhe, that is, he can threaten the Mongols, and he can also use it to scare the Jin people in front of him, which really squeezes and uses the value of a dead royal family in the eyes of the world to the extreme.

"So in this way, did King Wei Shao agree to help me Ye Qing?" Ye Qing asked sincerely.

Wanyan Yongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, how could the word Ji come out of Ye Qing's mouth, so sarcastic and harsh? Is this almsgiving? Are you blackmailing?

"Can you wait for me to come back from Yidu and give Lord Ye a satisfactory answer to this matter?" Wanyan Yongji took a deep breath, this matter is not something he can decide, and this time he came to Jinan, although he wanted to really form an alliance with Ye Qing or Song Ting, but to form an alliance in the form of compensation, this is not what Wanyan Jing is willing to see.

Therefore, no matter what the considerations were, Wanyan Yongji could not agree to Ye Qing's request in the first time.

"Okay, Ye Mou looks at King Wei Shao's sincerity in the matter of Yidu." Ye Qing happily agreed.

Wanyan Yongji continued to sigh, since the Song Dynasty began the Northern Expedition led by Ye Qing, the Jin Kingdom began to fall into a situation of being passive and controlled everywhere, and now no matter how they flickered and moved, in the end, they found that they were all in vain, and they couldn't get rid of Ye Qing's ruthless calculations for them.

Cutting off the head of Zha Muhe is definitely a great failure for the Jin Kingdom, just like tomorrow Wanyan Yongji will get rid of the local powerful Yanning in Yidu, so that it will only make the people who have been under the rule of the Song Dynasty, famous families, and local heroes and strong, completely lose their hearts to the Jin Kingdom, and no longer hold the hope that the Jin people will one day ride across the Yellow River again.

The Mongols also wanted to use this trick to deal with Ye Qing, such as letting Ye Qing kill Li An'an, as a sincerity for their respective concessions, but Ye Qing finally chose to refuse, but it was the Jin people who chose to accept, which also made the Jin country have to be subject to Ye Qing's insidious city government all the time.

As the slightly lonely figure of King Wei Shao Wanyan Yongji left, Ye Qing, who returned to the back house, looked at Zhong Qing, who looked tired and a little tired, and then consciously stood behind Zhong Da Beauty, massaging and rubbing his shoulders.

Zhong Damei looked up at Ye Qing, who was in good spirits today, and then sighed slightly, and said, "Although the wine is simple, the smell of this wine is too unpleasant. ”

Zhong Qing said as she sniffed the new clothes on her body even after bathing, and she already felt that it was still stained with the smell of wine.

"This is not something you can handle alone, I told you a long time ago, but you are in a hurry, so you have to handle it yourself." Ye Qing continued to help Zhong Qing rub his shoulders, and then after a pause, he said: "King Qing and Chongguo Gong, these days should be about to set off from Lin'an to the north again, and when Chongguo Gong arrives in Jinan, leave this matter to him to ......." ”

"Can you really still trust King Qing and Chongguo Gong as you did before?" Zhong Qing was taken aback, King Qing and Duke Chongguo stayed for so long after they left Lin'an, and they were still royal, at this time, the purpose of the two of them coming to the Northland, Ye Qing was really so sure? Zhong Qing was naturally skeptical.

"What about distrust? What about trust? After all, they are royal relatives, and the Northland is now inseparable from the fame of their royal relatives. Ye Qing put his hands under Zhong Qing's thin shoulders, just subconsciously moved, and said, "When I took King Qing to Chang'an, it wasn't because of trust. As for Chongguo Gong, he can be trusted, but this person doesn't have much ambition for his career, and because the royal family has always been lukewarm to him at the beginning, he is naturally not as enthusiastic about the royal family as King Qing. What's more, now the north is also indispensable for King Qing and Chongguo Gong. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhong Qing held Ye Qing's hand on her shoulder with both hands and looked up and asked.

"Some time ago, I played the Holy Lord to rebuild the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and now King Qing is the one who takes the lead, but there is no duty to send it, so I guess that the court is still a little undecided, how to send King Qing. However, it is obvious that at this time, King Qing must be allowed to go north, in the hope that King Qing can use the identity of the royal family to supervise the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace. Ye Qing frowned slightly and said.

"Yes...... But you don't intend to rebuild at this time...... Besides, where do you have money now? Zhong Qing glanced at Ye Qing and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course, I want the court to pay money, and then I am greedy for these silver and grain, if I can get a sum of silver and grain from the Jin people in a short period of time, then I can solve the food shortage and money shortage in Anbei and Anxi. So for now, there's one more thing I want you to help with. Ye Qing said in the end, and finally revealed the fox tail that he deliberately flattered Zhong Qing.

Sure enough, when Zhong Da Mei listened to Ye Qing's words, she immediately twisted her shoulders, shook off Lord Ye's two hands that were courteous, stood up and looked at Ye Qing and sneered: "The weasel didn't have a good heart to greet the chickens for the New Year, and I already knew that you were so attentive today, there must be something." ”

"It's not a big deal." Ye Qing didn't care at all that his purpose was debunked by Zhong Damei, and sat down on the chair that Zhong Qing had just gotten up, and then took Zhong Qing's hand and said, "It just so happens that when King Qing and Chongguo Gong pass through Yangzhou, let them take Fang Fei over for you, no matter what, it's better than you being here alone with me." ”

"Let's talk about your business, you don't have to worry about it." Zhong Qing didn't shake off Ye Qing's hand holding her, she was much more concerned than Ye Qing about the affairs of Yangzhou, but when she learned that Zhong Ye, the heartless little white-eyed wolf, only thought about her as a mother in the first few days of separation, and then quickly left her as a mother behind, and would follow Ye Gucheng and Ye Wujian all day long, as well as Ye Xiaofeng.

And the two elder brothers and one sister also love Zhong Ye's younger brother quite much, so on the whole, Zhong Ye's life in Yangzhou is many times happier than her mother's life in Jinan.

Of course, because of Zhong Ye's heartlessness in Yangzhou, Zhong Qing, his mother-in-law, would suffer from gains and losses, and then secretly cried sadly, feeling that his mother-in-law had been forgotten by Zhong Ye, and he was no longer so important.

Ye Qing occasionally bumped into Zhong Qing secretly wiping her tears there several times, but this kind of thing was ...... He didn't dare to persuade Zhong Da Beauty, so every time he would pretend not to see it.

Looking at Zhong Qing with tenderness in his eyes, Ye Qing said with a smile: "Another thing is that no one in the imperial court has advocated the matter of keeping Kaifeng as the capital of Liu, and the construction of Kaifeng and the palace is obviously not something that can be completed in a short period of time, not to mention that your husband and I are ready to be greedy for this money, so let the court change Kaifeng to the ...... of staying in the capital." ”

"In this way, Kaifeng has become the capital of Liu, and Lin'an has become the de facto capital, and the silver taels used by the imperial court to build Kaifeng and the palace can be misappropriated to other important places. And at that time, even if the court knows that you are greedy for this money, because the matter of staying in the capital is a foregone conclusion, at least in the matter of pursuing your greed for this money, it may be ...... Will the court be open to you? Zhong Qing asked skeptically.

"Those who are greedy for ink for officials have always starved to death the bold and starved to death. The court allocated the silver and two sessions very quickly, but if you want to see the results, you will have to question it after three or five years, and at that time, maybe I will have the money to fill this hole, even if I can't make it up, but maybe someone can fill it for me. Ye Qing said at the end, his tone suddenly became cold, and at the same time, Shi Miyuan, who was far away in Lin'an, sneezed without warning.
