On November 4 of the first year of Shaoxi, Wanyan Yongji and Li Xiang had stayed in Chang'an City for three days, but they still couldn't convince Ye to peel the skin, even if it was a small concession.

And just now, just when the two of them were trying to persuade Ye Qing again, Ye Qing, who was inspecting the entire Chang'an City with them, suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "If King Wei Shao is not satisfied, he doesn't have to agree. Actually, it's not difficult, after all, I didn't stretch out my hand like your war horse, you don't want me to calculate your war horse again, right? ”

Hearing Ye Qing's idea of wanting to fight the war horse, Li Xiang was instantly trembling, eager to leave and turn around and leave, afraid that this Ye Peeling would really do the war horse matter.

Wan Yan Yongji smiled bitterly, since the first day of negotiations, he had already truthfully played the conditions set by Ye Qing to Wan Yan Jing, and now he just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the holy decree had not yet arrived, hoping to be able to lower the price.

It has been more than half a month since the battle of Guanshan, and with him, Li Xiang, and Ye Qing have been patrolling the entire Chang'an City for the past two days, and finally know that Ye Qing is not only negotiating with them now, no! Ye Qing is not only exploiting them, but also settling accounts with Xia Ren and the Autumn Queen, and he is even more ruthless than himself.

According to Ye Qing's words, this is already based on his relationship with Yan Jing's master and apprentice, and he has made a big concession, otherwise, the conditions he proposed will be even harsher than these.

Pointing to the bleak and barren city wall of Chang'an City in winter, Ye Qing sighed and said helplessly: "There is no way, I have to rely on myself to raise so many soldiers in my hands, since Song Ting secretly plotted with you, he has not given a penny to Beidi Wulu, what can I do?" If Song Ting doesn't give this money, you can't come out, Xia people can't come out, can't it all be paid by me? After all, you are the cause of my current predicament, aren't you? You have to be bold, you have to be responsible for the consequences of recklessness, don't you? What's more, if you look at Chang'an City under the rule of your Jin people, how can there still be a trace of solemnity and grandeur, prosperity and prosperity in the Han and Tang dynasties? Not to mention the whole city wall is in tatters, you can also see it inside, one hundred and eight squares? Can that be called a workshop? These places in Lin'an are all vegetable fields, and no one wants to live here. When you destroyed it back then, it was easy for your soldiers to kill people, set fires, smash and loot at will, but in the end, these messes had to be cleaned up at a cost, and you didn't pay a penny, is this reasonable? ”

Wanyan Yongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he couldn't refute it, whether it was Chang'an City or Luoyang, Kaifeng, Jinan and other important cities, the Jin people never thought that one day, these rich and important cities in the Central Plains would become their territory.

What's more, at first, they burned, killed and looted, just for the wealth in the city, and they didn't think about occupying these cities, but who would have thought that Song Ting would be so generous and so single, he actually patted his ass and ran away, and threw the cash cow in the eyes of these golden people directly to them.

But after it came into the hands of the Jin people, the cash cow no longer grew money, but became poorer and poorer one by one, which also made the Jin people have to start learning how to manage cities one by one, and began to have to use all the systems of the Central Plains to govern this country.

The nomads have never really understood the plundering of wealth and plundering territory, and the backward administration is completely inapplicable to the Central Plains, but they are in this historical period, and they are endowed with force strong enough to conquer the whole world, which makes people have to have a headache, and people have to look up and ask: Is it fun?

"Are you planning to rebuild the entire Chang'an City?" Li Xiang had just taken a few steps back, and he was afraid that Ye Qing would catch him again and intensify it, but when he heard that Ye Qing had such courage to rebuild a city, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"Or else? The wisdom and culture of the Chinese nation and the people of the Central Plains have been ruined like this by you, do you think it can still be used? Do you think such a dilapidated city can give the people peace of mind? Don't you have to worry about running away with your family when the war comes? The city wall is so good that the people have a sense of security, so that they will live in a down-to-earth manner and concentrate on creating wealth. Is it still possible to be like you, who only know how to let the oxen plough the land but not give them grazing? Ye Qing stroked the loose city wall bricks, looking at the moat without much stagnant water under his feet, it was hard to imagine what kind of scene Chang'an was in the prosperous era back then.

Li Xiang actually thought seriously this time, and then nodded in agreement, not like most of the past few days, his face sank and angry in an instant, shouting that Ye Qing was simply a bandit and robber.

And every time he accused Ye Qing like this, Ye Qing would always throw it out with disdain, all kinds of cruelty and bullying of the Jin people to the Song people back then, and then Li Xiang, who was choked, couldn't say a word.

Often at this time, Wanyan Yongji will choose to be silent wisely, but he also knows that every time Li Xiang is angry, what he gets is still Ye Qing's intensification, so Li Xiang is finally obedient today, because the original gold 10,000 taels and silver 100,000 have become 20,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver.

"Lord Ye's heartfelt words today must not be in vain, right?" I am afraid that Ye Qing will continue to increase the price

, Wanyan Yongji simply took the initiative to ask.

"You're really wrong, this time it's really for nothing. Whether it is Jin Ting, or Song Ting, whether it is Wan Yanjing and others, or I Ye Qing, it is okay to fight a war or negotiate peace, but the common people are innocent, whether it is under the Jin Realm or under the Song Realm. If what I just said can let you know how to make a city create wealth, instead of just exploiting the people, I think it is worth it more than anything else. Ye Qing sighed and said.

The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!

On November 5 of the first year of Shaoxi, whether it was Bai Chun, Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, or Zhao Shichun, the prince of Chongguo, they all set foot on the territory of the north at one time.

Different from Yangzhou, Lin'an's eyes are still full of green and exquisite scenes, especially Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun, who are worried and trembling along the way, they are not only afraid that Bai Chun is deceiving them, but also a little excited by the scenes they see in front of them.

The barren loess stretched to the farthest point in front of them, and the rolling green hills stood silently and majestically in front of them, motionless, as if telling them what is called vastness and insignificance, and similarly, with majestic desolation, complaining to them that the great rivers and mountains of the year are now what kind of down-and-out scene they are.

The snowflakes, which are far heavier than those of Lin'an and Yangzhou, gradually flew in the heavy sky, and the yellow earth under their feet gradually became moist and began to turn white, and the whole world seemed to be smeared with a layer of silver.

Back then, Ye Qing once "did" half of the words, and Bai Chun inadvertently read them out: The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

Just when Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai were recalling the half-words that Bai Chun recited, the sun was still shining in Lin'an City, although the weather had become extremely wet and cold, but it still couldn't stop people from crowding on the royal street, and began to look forward to the arrival of the Yuan Day, or they were deeply immersed in the idea of where to spend time today.

The fair ladies and free and easy sons on the streets are full of talented smiles on their faces, carriages and sedan chairs are shuttling back and forth in the hustle and bustle, and the shops are still shouting hard, earning copper coins one by one.

The news that Ye Qing broke out all the way from Guanshan to Jingzhao Mansion only reached the ears of various officials in Lin'an at this time, and this was because Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, and Zhao Shichun, the prince of Chongguo, in Yangzhou City a few days ago, suddenly went north without warning, so that everyone knew that Ye Qing actually walked out of Guanshan alive, and now he is already in Chang'an City on Jingzhaofu Road.

Zhao Ruyu's carriage quickly stopped at the Hening Gate, and he stepped out of the carriage in a panic, and hurriedly saluted with the eunuch who came to pick him up, and then walked quickly towards the palace.

Li Fengniang sat alone in the corridor of Yujin Garden, since the last accident, Yujin Garden is now followed by people all the time.

At this time, Li Fengniang's brows were furrowed, the whole person looked like she had a lot of worries, and her originally beautiful eyes also lost their former brilliance at this time, and became full of worry and heaviness.

The footsteps of Zhao Ruyu behind her did not alarm her at all, even if Zhao Ruyu was already standing next to her slightly panting and saluting, Li Fengniang was still staring blankly at a place in front of her, without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart, or just in a daze at the moment.

"Have the people you sent to Jingzhao Mansion come back?" Li Fengniang suddenly asked out loud.

"Back to the queen, I haven't come back yet." Zhao Ruyu also replied with some uneasyness.

"Is there any news?" Li Fengniang finally raised her head, looked at Zhao Ruyu and asked.

"No, I didn't." Zhao Ruyu hesitated, but still said truthfully.

"So how did all this come to Lin'an? How can it be proved that Ye Qing walked out of Naguan Mountain alive and entered Jingzhao Mansion? How can you prove that he is not dead? Li Fengniang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and a fierce momentum of not being angry and self-righteous appeared on her body in an instant.

"The queen is angry, this matter is ...... Although this matter has not been verified, it is ....... Zhao Ruyu was also extremely nervous, of course he knew that if Ye Qing came back alive, the first one would not let him go.

"But you want to say that the news that is circulating among the courtiers is credible, isn't it? Ye Qing was alive and returned to Jingzhao Mansion unharmed from the heavy encirclement of the Xia people and the Jin people! Li Fengniang slapped the recital on the table and said angrily.

"There must be remnants of Ye Qing's party above the court, and it must be the news they released. And...... If Ye Qing is dead, then King Qing and Chongguo Gong, why don't they dare to go north without saying hello to the saint, the queen, and the court? It was once the territory under the rule of the Jin people, and if it weren't for someone who gave them a great guarantee of security, they would never have dared to go north. So it seems that Ye Qingbi

However, he is still alive, as for why there has been no news of returning to Lin'an until now, presumably ...... The minister thought that he was also very jealous, weighing the pros and cons. At this moment, Zhao Ruyu was even more panicked, in his opinion, now is not the time to discuss the authenticity, but the urgent time to discuss and how to deal with it next.

Li Fengniang glanced at Zhao Ruyu who lowered her head weakly and disgustedly, and sighed heavily in her heart, although Zhao Ruyu has the treacherous danger above the court, but he does not have the courage and determination of that minister, let alone the ruthless methods of that minister.

At this time, he was still thinking about how to deal with it, but as everyone knows, after King Qing and Chongguo Gong took the first step to the north, Ye Qing had already begun to force the court to submit, and people didn't bother to deal with your court in person, as long as King Qing and Chongguo Gong were held in their hands, especially once the news of King Qing in Jingzhao Mansion spread all over the world, the court could only passively accept all the conditions that Ye Qing had offered!

Li Fengniang regrets it now, how could she believe in this sect Zhao Ruyu in the first place, and be able to become the person who helped her get rid of Ye Qing? Look at Zhao Ruyu, who is trembling and realizing it now, what qualifications does he have to fight with Ye Qing?

Ye Qing has unconsciously taken the initiative, and now, even whether Ye Qing is dead or alive has to rely on speculation to make judgments!

The people who were sent to Jingzhao Mansion to persuade Yu Yunwen have not heard from him at all, and Zhao Ruyu didn't even think of a way, but he had been waiting like this, and he was still dreaming that Yu Yunwen would suddenly turn around.

The current situation, as far as she Li Fengniang is concerned, is already very clear, King Qing and Chongguo Gong went north for no reason, and Zhao Ruyu has no news at all, what does this mean? It shows that the courtiers sent by Zhao Ruyu have either been slaughtered by Ye Qing like wild dogs at this time, or they have been locked up in prison by others, and they can't go anywhere, so they are waiting for Ye Qing to return to Lin'an, which is used to point out the mastermind behind the interference in the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion.

Li Fengniang knows Ye Qing too well, she knows better than anyone that Ye Qing at this time is no longer the Ye Qing who can still be at her mercy, and even now, she no longer has any bargaining chips in her hand to negotiate with Ye Qing.

"Have you ever gone to Shi Miyuan to find out some news?" Li Fengniang was stunned for a while, then turned to Zhao Ruyu again and asked.

"Go, now our officials in Yangzhou City can't enter, that Xiao Zhen on the grounds that the first day is coming, the people in the north are suffering from floods and plagues, and refuse everyone to go to Yangzhou Mansion, whether it is by water or land, as long as it is to every road to Yangzhou, the seat of Huainan East Road, it is blocked and cannot be entered at all." Zhao Ruyu sighed and said.

Then looking at Li Fengniang, who was silent in thought, Zhao Ruyu thought for a while and said: "Queen, the minister thinks that at this moment, the only way to do it is to make an order immediately, strike first, and determine Ye Qing as a judge and thief, so that he cannot return to Lin'an, and then we will slowly try to do it, or we will dispatch a large army to attack Ye Qing directly, and once the Jin people respond, it will inevitably be able to make Ye Qing fall into a dilemma and unable to get out." ”

"And then?" Li Fengniang asked coldly, but she had already begun to calculate in her heart, maybe she should give up Zhao Ruyu at this time.

At this time, he still wanted to define Ye Qing as a judge and a thief? Li Fengniang couldn't help but sneer in her heart, she dared to bet that the imperial court dared to order the conviction of Ye Qing as a judge today, and Ye Qing would dare to immediately support Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, as the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow.

And then, with the temperament of that minister, he will inevitably provoke the relationship between the Jin people and the Tatars first, and then he will wave his army south to the side of the Qing monarch, and then not only Zhao Ruyu, a fool, will be unlucky, but he will also suffer, and the position of the queen may not be saved, not to mention the emperor who is now sick and nervous!

"You go down first, since things are not completely clear now, we can wait until everything is clear, and then we can think about it in the long run. As for today...... It's better to be still than to be still, so let's wait and see what happens. Li Fengniang showed a rare smile on her face and said to Zhao Ruyu.

Seeing that Li Fengniang's face finally showed a smile, Zhao Ruyu's originally anxious heart was a little calmer, and said: "The minister will send someone to find out the authenticity, and the minister will continue to seek news from him, I believe that in a short time, there should be news of him, and when the time comes, whether Ye Qing is dead or alive, we will be clear." ”

"Mm-hmm, yes, then do as you say, but remember to be careful." Li Fengniang said a little perfunctorily, and at this time, in her heart, she had already made up her mind to give up Zhao Ruyu, a fool, she was really confused, how could she believe this fool!

As Zhao Ruyu disappeared into Yujin Garden, Li Fengniang's face also became covered with frost, Zhao Ruyu suffered, and she Li Fengniang didn't want to suffer.

After beckoning to the bamboo leaves next to him, he said slowly: "Send a message to Lord Zuo Xiang Han for the main palace, and say that the dragon is still in good shape in the past two days, and there are state affairs to discuss with him." Remember, you go in person. ”
