1156 Repay the favor
At this time, even if Zhao Kuo continued to discuss countermeasures with his ministers every day, it was obvious that now in the face of Ye Qing, who was covering the sky with only one hand in the north, it was still difficult for the entire Song court to come up with any effective countermeasures for a while.
And among them, in addition to some people suggesting that Zhao Kuo told the world that Ye Qing was a traitor to the Great Song Dynasty and let the people criticize him, naturally some people proposed at this moment that it was better to directly give up all the northern lands north of the Yangtze River, and that over the years, the territories lost by the Great Song Dynasty had never been recovered by the imperial court.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also people who suggest that the imperial court immediately send troops, and take advantage of the fact that Ye Qing is now in the Dading Mansion of the Jin State to show his loyalty to the Emperor of the Jin State, and recapture the various territories of the Northern Land to truly and completely incorporate them into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Fengniang listened to Zhu Ye'er's report, and shook her head without saying a word, in her opinion, these are obviously all strategies, Ye Qing's personality she knows very well, although she doesn't know why Ye Qing betrayed her, although it is impossible to know whether this matter is true or not, but since there is news from the Jin country, even if this matter is not true, it will not be much fake.
Zhu Ye'er whispered beside him: "There are also courtiers above the court who say that the reason why Ye Qing was able to easily take the sixteen states of Yanyun was not because of the armies from all walks of life, but because the Jin Kingdom deliberately let it out. It is precisely for this reason that the courtiers above the court are more willing to believe that Ye Qing has sentenced the Song Dynasty, rather than the Jin people who are sowing discord. ”
The dignified and noble Li Fengniang sighed slightly: "Ye Qing doesn't need a reason to judge Song at all, over the years, the court's harsh criticism of Ye Qing is enough to make people believe that Ye Qing has sentenced Song." Not to mention...... Since Ye Qing dominated the northern land, haven't everyone in the court been worried that Ye Qing will establish himself as king? Therefore, if Ye Qing judges Song, it will really be as everyone wishes. ”
"You...... Do you also believe that Ye Qing has already sentenced Song? "Zhu Ye'er's mood is not high, one person said that Ye Qing judged Song better, but he couldn't stand everyone saying that Ye Qing judged Song, so even if Ye Qing didn't judge Song, he was already said to be sentenced to Song, so ...... If Ye Qing really didn't sentence Song, then in the current situation of Lin'an, would Ye Qing dare to return to Lin'an?
"This palace doesn't believe it, but it can't stand everyone who wants to believe it." Li Fengniang frowned and shook her head, looked back at Zhu Ye'er and smiled, and said, "What's more, this palace really can't think of what strength the Jin Kingdom has to make Ye Qing submit to them." It's just now...... Because whether it is a fact or a fact that this Jin man is sowing discord, he is forcing Ye Qing to really judge Song, forcing Ye Qing to judge Song, and becoming spurned by everyone in the world. ”
"That'...... Why did Lord Ye go to Dading Mansion, and it was not for ....... Zhu Ye'er frowned, she was very concerned about whether Ye Qing had already sentenced Song.
"That man must have his ulterior motives!" Li Fengniang was angry when she thought of Ye Qing's face, and she couldn't wait to immediately pounce on it and take a few bites to vent her hatred: "Ye Qing and Wan Yan Jing already have a personal relationship, although Ye Qing does not distinguish between public and private, but Ye Qing's move must have his intentions, but we can't guess it for a while." ”
Looking at Zhu Ye'er, who bowed his head and was silent, and then looked at Wei Jing, who was respectful not far away, Li Fengniang smiled and said: "Look, now this matter has alarmed the saints, and it seems that there is no one in the court who can help expand the worries." ”
beckoned to Zhao Kuo, who walked into Yujin Garden not far away, Li Fengniang smiled lightly and said: "If Ye Qing is sentenced to Song, how can the Yan family and the heirs of the Ye family in Yangzhou stay in Yangzhou in a good manner?" Isn't that a gift of authority? ”
Zhu Ye'er raised her head instantly, her eyes brightened, yes, everyone paid attention to Ye Qing, but they never thought that if Ye Qing really judged Song, then he would definitely take the Yan family and his children from Yangzhou to the north as soon as possible.
"But I also have to prevent Ye Qing from playing some tricks again, so I still have to be careful." Li Fengniang watched Zhao Kuo salute after approaching, smiled and nodded.
"The queen mother seems to be in a good mood, but the weather is gradually getting hot again, and the queen mother is still ......." After Zhao Kuo nodded at Zhu Ye'er, he said to Li Fengniang with concern.
"The queen mother knows that this is the care of the expanded child, and the queen mother is free to measure." Li Fengniang said with a smile, now Zhao Kuo is taller than her, since she succeeded to the throne, unconsciously, the original teenager who was shorter than her has made rapid progress in the past two years, and unconsciously, he has really grown into a young man who can handle the government alone.
"Is it for the gossip?" Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo with a smile, paused and said, "Why, Kuo'er also believes that Ye Qing has already sentenced Song?" ”
"But the queen mother...... It is also a fact that Ye Qing is now in Dading Mansion, if he did not betray his sons, then why ....... Zhao Kuo asked with some confusion on his face.
Ye Qing had a good relationship with Wan Yan Jing, and took over the sixteen states of Yanyun from others, and the people were not there, but went to the Dading Mansion where they retreated. What's going on...... No matter who looks at it, it feels like Ye Qing wants to sentence Song. Can...... Why did Ye Qing sentence Song? Li Fengniang asked with a smile.
Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned, looking at Li Fengniang's graceful and elegant face, calm and unhurried demeanor, and unconsciously followed a little tranquility in his heart, and said to Li Fengniang: "Uncle also thinks that Ye Qing has no reason to judge Song, if he is sentenced to Song, there is only one reason. ”
"Oh? Can he help you? What is the reason? Li Fengniang was slightly surprised, after all, since Li Lifang took over the household department, he has made the household department a chicken and dog jumping every day, and now the accounts of the household department have just been sorted out, and this is because of her secret help from the queen mother, otherwise, the household department does not know how long it will continue to be chaotic.
"The recognition and trust of the imperial court." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang and said.
Li Fengniang pondered the recognition and trust that Zhao Kuo said, and unconsciously fell into contemplation: Yes, over the years, whether it is the court or herself, have you ever recognized and trusted that minister?
Over the years, whether it is the imperial court or her Li Fengniang, in addition to using Ye Qing, she has a strong guard and vigilance, as if she is ...... It seems that no one has ever really regarded Ye Qing as a courtier of the Song Court!
"And what are you going to do?" Li Fengniang, who had been silent for a long time, took a deep breath and asked Zhao Kuo.
"Erchen ......." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang's bright eyes and looked at him calmly, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but he still said the countermeasures he had already thought of on the way here: "Erchen plans to send Qian Xiangzu to Dading Mansion to see Ye Qing, and besides, Erchen plans to ...... I plan to crown Ye Qing as the king of Yan! Moderate all the territories of the Northlands, including the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun! ”
"Is it a strategy to delay the army or to win over the relationship between Ye Qing and Jin Guowan Yan Jing?" Li Fengniang's gaze instantly became deep, and she looked at Zhao Kuo and asked quietly.
Zhao Kuo was faintly shocked, he couldn't imagine that the strategy he had come up with would be seen through by the queen mother so quickly.
"Erchen, this is ......." Zhao Kuo instantly became a little hesitant.
"You can give an order to Ye Qing and make him the King of Yan." Li Fengniang looked full of majesty at the moment: "But you have to tell him that it is absolutely impossible for the Northern Land Jiedu Envoy, and it is absolutely impossible to take charge of all the Northern Lands, and naming him the King of Yan means ...... The bottom line of the imperial court can tolerate him to control the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the rule of other officials, he Ye Qing can intervene, but the imperial court can also interfere in ....... ”
"Mother, I'm afraid it's ...... like this." Zhao Kuo couldn't have imagined that Li Fengniang's position would be so tough at this time.
"It's okay, just tell him that's what the queen mother meant." Li Fengniang, who is in the world of mothers, looks wise and martial, majestic and dignified at the moment, and even Zhao Kuo is a little impressed by Li Fengniang's domineering.
But Zhao Kuo didn't know that at this moment, his noble, dignified, majestic and domineering queen mother Li Fengniang was thinking in his heart at this time: If you Ye Qing dare to disagree, then don't blame me Li Fengniang for crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself to show you, a minister!
In the middle of June of the third year of Qingyuan, in front of Wan Yan Jing, Ye Qing saw Qian Xiangzu in Dading Mansion, as well as a car full of various items given by the Lin'an Imperial Court.
And when Ye Qing received the holy decree from Zhao Kuo, he was sitting on the chair, as if he didn't care at all, he is now the first king with a different surname to be given a title alive in the Great Song Dynasty!
Ye Qing looked at it leisurely, and Qian Xiangzu brought another Li Fengniang's edict, which made Qian Xiangzu read out the holy decree to confer Ye Qing, which seemed so nondescript, and the occasion was even more solemn.
No one knew what the specific content of Li Fengniang's edict was, because Ye Qing didn't show it to anyone, but Wan Yanjing was because of the arrival of Qian Xiangzu, and his expression became like ashes!
Wan Yan Jing, who was bent on winning over Ye Qing, did not expect that his plan to sow discord was in exchange for the Song court's simple and neat granting Ye Qing the king, controlling the sixteen states of Yanyun, guarding the country for the Great Song Dynasty, and not allowing foreign races to step into the Central Plains for half a step.
Ye Qing obviously had long expected that after retaking the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and his inexplicable appearance in the Dading Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, the Lin'an Imperial Court would definitely not be as ignorant of the territory he had recovered as before.
Just as he knows Li Fengniang, Li Fengniang also understands him, in addition to the aggressive tone, this edict is Li Fengniang's sloppy warning.
The two have been in the same bed for half a lifetime, but when they are not confused, they can still feel the understanding of each other between the two of them under various open and secret battles, and the affection that no one will admit.
"Qian Shangshu has worked hard." After Ye Qing read out the holy decree of Qian Xiangzu, he warmly took Qian Xiangzu's hand and sat down beside him, and the palace maid on the side immediately brought tea, looking at Qian Xiangzu who was in the dust, Ye Qing smiled and said: "The Holy God has given me the title of King Yan, I'm afraid this matter has already been upset in the court, right?" ”
Qian Xiangzu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had been standing behind Ye Qing for many years, although this incident was spread in Lin'an, but Qian Xiangzu also didn't believe that Ye Qing would sentence Song at this time.
"Lord Ye......." Qian Xiangzu opened his mouth, instantly realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Now it's time to change your mouth and call you King Yan, so King Yan must have expected that the Holy Lord would confer on you the King of Yan, and the first to be unbearably jumping were Shi Miyuan and Xie Shenfu and others. ”
These were obviously also expected by Ye Qing for a long time, and he unconsciously glanced at Wan Yan Jing with a gloomy face next to him, Ye Qing wanted to laugh very much in his heart, I am afraid that even Wan Yan Jing did not expect that he would be self-defeating in the end.
"This is the king's recital of the Holy Heavens, and you can bring it back with you when the time comes." Ye Qing took out the long-prepared piece from his arms and said to Qian Xiangzu, who looked surprised.
"King Yan, what are you...... Did you expect this? Planned for a long time? After Qian Xiangzu's expression of surprise, he immediately looked at Ye Qing in surprise and asked.
And at this time, the unlucky golden emperor next to him, Wan Yan Jing, was even darker and gloomy at the moment, and a bad feeling instantly came to his heart, and he fell for this old fox again, and was used by others!
Ye Qing said modestly: "I can't talk about it, but it is Ye's honor and the trust of the saint to be able to guard the sixteen states of Yanyun for the saint and serve for my Great Song court." ”
Ye Qing generously threw out all the roads in the north, which made Qian Xiangzu a little surprised, and said a little breathlessly: "King Yan really wants to ......." ”
"After all, it's a courtier, how can you let others gossip?" Ye Qing said cunningly.
Qian Xiangzu nodded clearly, in fact, this is not much weakened for Ye Qing's rights in the north, and the armies have already been set up by him as the three major protectorates, and this means that even if Ye Qing is less ruled, he still firmly controls the military power in the north.
Of course, it is also very clear in the holy decree that all officials can still ask Ye Qing about it, this sentence is obviously not just a simple question, and there is even a lot of room for discussion in it, and Qian Xiangzu involuntarily moved his gaze to the letter that Ye Qing had just handed to him, it is very likely that this is Ye Qing's bottom line.
Wan Yan Jing next to him, listening to the old fox Ye Qing since he was crowned king, he has always been a light-hearted, humble hypocrite, insidious and cunning, and he doesn't know how many times he has despised it in his heart.
At this time, he especially hoped that Queen Li Shi'er would be present, although he suffered a dumb loss in front of Ye Qing again, but if Queen Li Shi'er was there, at least he could take advantage of it verbally, even if he couldn't take advantage of anything, he could also make Li Shi'er's sneering poisonous tongue, the old fox, have a few words of enjoyment, right?
"In this way, then King Yan has no ......." Qian Xiangzu obviously did not forget his intention, after all, he still had to let Ye Qing say it in person to be relieved.
"How could this king betray the court and the saints? This king has been able to achieve these feats over the years, but it is all because of the support of the saint and the imperial court, how dare this king take credit alone? "Since King Ye Yan was crowned king, he felt a little fluttering with his feet off the ground, and the smirk on his face made even Qian Xiangzu feel uncomfortable when he looked at it, although it gave people a harmless appearance, but it always made people feel a little more treacherous than Prime Minister Cao Cheng's treacherous smile.
"In this way, it is naturally better, and it will be easy for the lower official to go back, otherwise, the lower official will come here this time ......." Qian Xiangzu looked at the queen of the crown, and Ye Qing, who could only smirk, said.
Ye Qing proudly glanced at the depressed Wan Yan Jing on the side, and after Wan Yan Jing scolded him disdainfully as an old fox, Ye Qing turned his head to look at Qian Xiangzu again, and said, "If you want to run thousands of miles this time, how can you let you run in vain?" ”
Ye Qing's expression began to gradually return to normal, obviously this thing was really enjoying the feeling of being crowned king just now.
"The Holy Lord loves me Ye Qing so much, so how dare this king be stingy? Naturally, it is necessary to repay the favor. Ye Qing's eyes regained clarity, and Qian Xiangzu felt at this time that the Ye Qing he was familiar with had finally returned to his place.
Ye Qing took out a thick letter from his arms again under Qian Xiangzu's puzzled gaze, and then solemnly handed it to Qian Xiangzu and said: "The Jin Kingdom is willing to live in harmony with my Great Song Kingdom, and respect my Great Song Dynasty." So this is the list of the annual tributes of the Jin State this year, as well as the ...... of the Emperor of the Jin State. ”
"Old fox, it's almost there." The black-faced Yan Jing snorted coldly beside him.
The first thing he did when he returned to Dading Mansion was that Ye Qing impatiently wrote down these treaties that humiliated the country, and prepared this year's annual tribute and national letter!
Although Wan Yan Jing has been relieved in these days, but now that he is brought up by Ye Qing in front of him, it still makes Wan Yan Jing feel uncomfortable, and his cheeks feel even hot.
What was beyond Ye Qing's reaction was that when Qian Xiangzu knew what Ye Qing was in his hand, he suddenly stood up in front of Ye Qing, and then knelt down in front of Ye Qing and saluted solemnly: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials are ashamed of King Yan, and all the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the saints have been replaced, and I thank King Yan here! ”
Qian Xiangzu, who stood up, had red eyes at the moment, he obviously didn't expect that one day, the Jin Kingdom would have to bow down to the Song Court!
More importantly, now in Qian Xiangzu's view, the matter of the saint giving Ye Qing the title of King Yan is obviously more valuable than Ye Qing's gift to the saint, and the title of King Yan is so small and light in front of this annual tribute and the subservient Jin Guoguo.
