Ye Qing not only will not give up the ally of Jin Guo, but will even use some actions to reassure his allies that after he went to Lin'an once, his attitude towards the Northern Expedition again is not as resolute as it was at the beginning, or it is that Wanyan Yongji realizes the fact that he has not been able to go on the Northern Expedition at all in the past few years.

So after a short greeting with Mu Huali and Borshu, after Zhong Silkworm took the two to the post house, the Kaifeng prefect came to the main hall with the holy decree from Lin'an, and said happily: "Lord Ye, the imperial court has issued an order, and you are authorized to repair the Kaifeng Mansion and the palace." ”

Ye Qing's face sank instantly, and he looked at the overjoyed Zhang Kui and snorted coldly, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Wanyan Yongji next to him.

Zhang Kui's expression was momentarily stunned when he saw Wanyan Yongji with a smile on his face, so after handing the holy decree to Ye Qing, he hurriedly apologized to Ye Qing.

But Ye Qing snorted coldly again, with more dissatisfaction in his tone, and motioned for Zhang Kui to go down.

As Zhang Kui stepped back, Wanyan Yongji's expression became more relaxed, and there was also an indescribable ease in his heart, as if the big stone that had been pressing on his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Your country wants to repair Kaifeng Mansion?" Wan Yan Yongji asked tentatively.

Ye Qing looked at the holy decree in his hand, and then at the back of Zhang Kui, who had just fled in a panic, and sighed: "Yes, the imperial court does have this plan, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, King Wei Shao learned in advance. ”

Wanyan Yongji smiled more relaxedly, and instantly caught a trace of the situation in favor of the Jin Kingdom from this matter, and asked quietly: "Then congratulations to Lord Ye, but I don't know when I plan to repair it?" ”

"Even if you know, does King Wei Shao think I'll tell you?" Ye Qing patted the holy decree in his hand, and then sighed and said, "Yes, this time back to Lin'an, the imperial court does intend to repair Kaifeng Mansion." And...... In addition, I also deliberately set Kaifeng as my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"This ...... Isn't this the capital of accompaniment? Wanyan Yongji asked a little puzzled.

Ye Qing smiled, and then said: "My Great Song Capital was occupied by your country back then, and I had to take a corner of peace, and the location of Lin'an is just Xingdu, how can Kaifeng Mansion be called a companion capital now?" ”

Wanyan Yongji didn't believe Ye Qing's words, in his opinion, this Kaifeng Mansion was obviously to be rebuilt as the capital of the Song Dynasty, that is to say, in fact, the imperial court did not have the intention of moving the capital, but because a large area of territory was not good for Ye Qing to be a knot, so in order to contain Ye Qing, he had to set Kaifeng as the accompanying capital, thus forming a system of two capitals, making it difficult for Ye Qing to support troops and stand on his own feet in the north in the future.

Naturally, it can be judged from it that the relationship between Ye Qing and the imperial court has not improved because of this return to Lin'an, and even now, Ye Qing's situation in the north is not as powerful as before.

After all, once Kaifeng Mansion is set up as a companion capital, it must follow the system of accompanying the capital, rebuild a small court in Kaifeng Mansion, and let Lin'an control it, in this way, in a sense, it is equivalent to restricting Ye Qing's rights in the north.

The system of the two capitals is not uncommon, and the same is true of the Shangjing and Zhongdu of the Jin Kingdom today, but now Dajin regards the central capital Yanjing as a hub, and replaces Shangjing with the accompanying capital.

The difference between staying in the capital and accompanying the capital is not very big, but for the special conditions of the Song Dynasty, it seems a little funny to want to set Kaifeng Mansion as the capital of Liudu, after all, Lin'an, where the imperial court is located today, is just a line capital, and it cannot be called the capital of a dynasty in the strict sense.

Therefore, it is naturally more appropriate to regard it as staying in the capital, and even in this way, it can also allow the imperial court to further upgrade Lin'an to the real capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but in this way, the status of Jiankang Liudu will obviously not exist.

But no matter what, this is good news for Wanyan Yongji, at least in the past few years when the Song Dynasty built Kaifeng Mansion, Ye Qing will definitely not have the energy to focus on the north gold north of the Yellow River.

Moreover, the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City is by no means something that can be completed in a year or two, and in terms of the wealth of the Song Dynasty, even if it is built in ten or eight years, it is probably not a new thing.

The construction of the capital or the capital will inevitably affect Ye Qing's right to the north, as long as the Lin'an court sends an official to stay in the capital of Kaifeng Mansion, then the power in Ye Qing's hands will inevitably be further compressed.

"Regardless of whether it is to stay in the capital or accompany the capital, then I also have to congratulate Lord Ye, right? In this way, Lord Ye is afraid that it will be a little harder, and he will be sent to stay in the capital, right? Wanyan Yongji asked tentatively.

"This matter is still inconclusive, but King Wei Shao thinks that Ye Mou's power in the north will be curtailed because of the matter of staying in the capital?" Ye Qingpi asked Wanyan Yongji with a smile.

"Where is it, this king really hopes that Lord Ye will govern the northern land, whether it is to stay in the capital or accompany the capital, in the eyes of this king, only Lord Ye can skillfully replace the imperial court to stay in the capital to deal with the government." finish

Yan Yongji said so, but in his heart, he couldn't wait for Ye Qing to immediately shake his head and deny it.

But Ye Qing didn't get his wish, but he didn't clearly say that the court had identified him as the best candidate, and sighed slightly melancholy, Ye Qing said: "This matter has just begun, and it is not clear how it will be, everything depends on how the court handles it." ”

Ye Qing looked at Yan Yongji's relaxed expression, and sneered in his heart, now that the matter of staying in the capital, the imperial court has never put it on the agenda, and he wrote to Zhao Kuo, willing to take full responsibility for the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace, hoping that the imperial court would remember the matter of staying in the capital, so he decided to change the Kaifeng Mansion to Liudu.

There are too many inconveniences in the north now, and everywhere has to be controlled by all the departments of the imperial court, and if he wants to recuperate and secretly accumulate the strength of the Northern Expedition in the past few years, then he will definitely not be able to have any conflicts with Lin'an.

Originally, when Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, he didn't think that he would experience another succession to the throne by a new monarch, but now that it has happened, he has to change his plan and put the matter of moving the capital on the agenda again.

And if Kaifeng Mansion is changed to Liudu, Ye Qing can go to Kaifeng Mansion justifiably, so that as long as the attention of the Jin people is focused on the matter of the Song Dynasty building Liudu, Jinan Mansion may launch the Northern Expedition again with lightning speed three or five years later.

Ye Qing is now very ambitious, and he doesn't want to build Kaifeng Mansion, but in the current situation, the Mongols and the Jin people have gone to Jinan to show favor to him, and they seem to want to be safe, but who really knows what the Jin people and the Mongols are thinking next.

So in any case, he once again asked the imperial court to build the Kaifeng Mansion, just hoping to take this opportunity to relieve the pressure that the imperial court might give him, as well as the vigilance of the Jin people against the northern land.

According to his assumption, whether it is Kaifeng or Luoyang, although the status has not yet been reduced to a chicken-like situation, if it is set as a companion capital, it still seems a little childish.

And he thinks that the ideal companion is Yanjing, where Emperor Wanyan Jing of the Jin Dynasty is now, so only by gaining three or five years for him to plan the Northern Expedition can he be completely invincible in the North.

The construction of Kaifeng Mansion has always been just a cover for the imperial court and the Jin people, so even if the imperial court agrees to build it, Ye Qing will only be perfunctory, and after three or five years, when the patience of the imperial court is exhausted, he can continue to drag this matter on the grounds of the Northern Expedition.

In short, in Ye Qing's vision, everything now should be based on another Northern Expedition.

This is also every time he looks at the map north of the Yellow River, he can't wait to have a large number of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can immediately wave his army north and take Yanjing directly.

The sixteen states of Yanyun cover a wide area, and it is only more than 300 miles away from the Yellow River that is Yingzhou and the neighboring Mozhou, and then continue north to Zhuozhou and the destination Youzhou, so for Ye Qing, Yanjing is like a piece of meat in front of his eyes, and he can only watch it every day, and he doesn't know how much saliva he has shed.

As for the states to the west, Ye Qing was not worried at all, he would be killed from the side when he went north, after all, Yu Yunwen of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate would inevitably contain the defenders of the other states with him at that time, so that he could reach Yanjing directly in the shortest possible time.

As long as Yanjing can be taken in the shortest possible time, then the remaining ten or so states can almost be self-defeating, and they can even drive Yanjing to the outside of the customs in one fell swoop.

What's more, with Lao Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er's naval army, they will be stationed in Yidu in the near future, so that Ye Qing can almost form a three-sided attack on the Jin people during the Northern Expedition, so as to achieve an unstoppable situation.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, when Ye Qing attacks gold, the Mongols must not be able to spare their hands to attack gold at the same time, otherwise, once their side is delayed, it is very likely that Temujin will be given an opportunity to take advantage of.

And once the four prefectures of Yun, Wu, Confucian, and Tan, which were closer to the grassland, were taken by Temujin, it would be difficult for Ye Qing to take back all the sixteen prefectures in the first time from the complicated terrain.

Sending away Wanyan Yongji, who was full of worries, Ye Qing and Xin Qiji returned to the main hall again, and Xin Qiji's originally solemn expression suddenly became relaxed.

"Lord Ye's remarks, I'm afraid that I have already moved King Wei Shao." Xin Qiji said lightly.

"It's just for a while." Ye Qing's demeanor was not as dignified as just now, and he smiled and said: "Once they come into contact with the imperial court, then they will be exposed, so at the moment, we still need to think about how to make the imperial court move this mind of treating Kaifeng as a stay." After all, it is only when we get things done that we have the opportunity to drag things out and get the attention of others. ”

Xin Qiji nodded silently, then sighed, and said in a solemn tone: "But now the Mongolians are here, obviously not only to show favor to you, they have come with such heavy gifts, I think...... They must also have a secret behind them. ”

"Do you think Temujin didn't covet the wealth of the Central Plains?" Ye Qing sneered, and then said, "Three thousand excellent."

War horses, as well as 5,000 cattle and sheep, Temujin's sincerity can be described as full, but the more this happens, the more it shows that Temujin's ambition will inevitably be greater in the future. ”

"But now it's no secret that the Song-Kim alliance is formed, and Temujin is still courting you like this, what is he for? Could it be ...... Is it really just an alliance with you? Although Xin Qiji knew that forming an alliance with Ye Qing might not be Temujin's true purpose, he still couldn't guess what Temujin's purpose was for a while.

"For thousands of years, the herders of the steppe have been accustomed to plundering to get rich quickly or become powerful. Now the Xia Kingdom has plundered the general territory, and almost all the grasslands are occupied by it, and we only hold a few cities such as the Hexi Corridor and Xingqing Mansion, and the rest are easily obtained by the Mongols. The Liao State was even more unbearable, and was destroyed by the Mongols in less than a year. Now that nearly a year has passed since the fall of Liao, the various tribes under Temujin's command may have long been unable to bear their ambition of burning, killing and looting. The Three Roads of the Loop often clashed with their tribes, and of course, there were ...... of them. ”

When Ye Qing said this, he remembered Yelu Yuelai, who was already pregnant, and continued after sighing slightly: "This includes not only our active provocation, but also the deliberate temptation of the Mongols. This would indicate that Temujin was also preparing for our sudden northward advance, or testing whether they would have an opportunity to plunder southward. ”

"So now that he has sent two of his right-hand men, and they have been sent under your command before, doesn't that mean that Temujin has no intention of being your enemy for the time being?" Xin Qiji asked contemplatively.

"Of course, he really has no intention of being an enemy of me at the moment, and he also knows very well that I will never join forces with him to fight gold, so this gesture of goodwill is more like a hope to sow discord between us and the Jinren, so that our covenant will be like a piece of waste paper at any time. Of course, the greedy ambitions of those tribes under his command, after plundering and looting the Liao State, after being silent for more than a year, must have begun to move again, if my guess is right, Temujin's eyes should be on the west of the Liao State again, and he is afraid that he will continue to plunder west, but obviously he is not at ease...... When he goes west, I will take the opportunity to make money. Ye Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, Temujin is obviously quite contradictory now.

But as the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, if Temujin wants to prevent Ye Qing from suddenly attacking Jin Fa when he is on a westward expedition, then the first thing he has to do is to provoke an alliance between the Song people and the Jin people.

"So Mu Huali will come to Jinan Mansion, maybe Temujin's subordinates, there are also people in Yanjing, the capital of the Jin people, at this moment?" Xin Qiji frowned and asked.

Ye Qing nodded noncommittally: "Three days is enough time for Wanyan Jing to communicate with Wanyan Yongji, as long as Wanyan Yongji is willing to get rid of Yidu Haoqiang Yanning for us after three days, then it means that the Jin people have made up their minds to ally with us this time." After all, didn't you send all the heads of Zamuhe some time ago? ”

"So...... I'm afraid we don't have much time to prepare, and if Temujin is going to continue his expedition to the west this year, then how can we have time to take advantage of this opportunity to go north? Xin Qiji frowned, the total number of people in the entire Andong Protectorate was only 200,000, but he obviously wanted to cross the river in a big way, and he did not have any advantage in numbers.

"It's impossible this year, Temujin won't choose this year. If he chose to start the western expedition this year, then he would not have sent Mu Huali and Borshu to Jinan Mansion. So I think that there must be some headaches for Temujin among the various tribes of Mongolia today, and he also needs time to straighten it out. It is impossible for a nascent state to be completely free of internal contradictions in the first few years, and although he has unified the Tatars of the steppe by force, it is precisely because of force that it will inevitably lead to challenges to his power by others. These people may seem to us to be inadequate, but in the game, they may think that they deserve more benefits from the tribe. ”

Ye Qing thought about the troubles that Temujin might encounter on the grassland now, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what big troubles would be able to make Temujin stop his expansion.

A sinister smile gradually appeared on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth thoughtfully, since he couldn't guess it, couldn't he try it out? Isn't there Temujin's henchman Mu Huali and Borshu in Jinan right now!

"By the way, tonight we will hold a banquet to entertain the envoys of Jin and Mongolia, and bring all the good wine in my house." Ye Qing's smile became more and more insidious and vicious in Xin Qiji's eyes.

Especially when talking about those good wines, Xin Qiji couldn't help but tremble, and for a moment he felt that there was a kind of wine fragrance echoing on the tip of his nose, and then there was the dim scene of his vomiting that day: the wine was too strong, he had drunk wine all his life, and he had never drunk such a strong good wine in Ye Qing's mansion.
