Ye Qing now has the confidence not to talk nonsense with Hot Gongji, but Hot Gongji has no confidence to be straightforward with Ye Qing, so he can only say some nonsense first to test Ye Qing's bottom line, and then show his sincerity in coming to Jingzhao Mansion.

In fact, Hot Gongji also knew that since he first took the initiative to ask to negotiate with Ye Qing, he had lost the initiative, especially in Pingliang Town, when he urged Ye Qing again and again, at that time he himself had already realized that the negotiation with Ye Qing would never be as easy as he imagined, and in the same way, he would inevitably be exploited by Ye Qing's lion.

But even so, Hot Gongji still doesn't give up, he still hopes to test Ye Qing's bottom line as much as possible after meeting with Ye Qing, of course, he also expected that Ye Qing now has the confidence to go straight to him, and don't say a word of nonsense.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that he has no confidence to argue with Ye Qing now, and along the way, watching Guanshan Liudao become stronger and stronger under the repair of the Song army, the heart of the hot Gongji is not a taste at all.

And during this period, the Song people still galloped out of Guanshan Guguan from time to time, harassing them on a small scale, once their army reacted, the Song people did not love to fight, and immediately shrank back into Guguan faster than rabbits, so that they could not scold or scold for a while.

Guan Shan's account is obviously not so easy to calculate, Ye Qing has always shown his tough attitude, since Guan Shan was taken away, the Song people have not attacked them less according to Guan Shan, it is nothing more than a warning to the Xia people that this account will have to be calculated slowly in the future.

Hot Gongji sat on the chair indifferently, and several Song officials who accompanied him didn't really get up and said: Please, so Hot Gongji had to lower his posture and talk to Ye Qing with real sincerity.

"Okay, the old man knows that he is wrong, and he did something sorry for Lord Ye at the beginning, and he came here today, in addition to making amends to Lord Ye, he also showed full sincerity." Hot Gongji lowered his head and thought for a moment before continuing: "Guanshan Fortress, my Xia Guoquan, should have been given to Lord Ye, how about it?" ”

"Prime Minister, was Guanshan Fortress sent by an adult?" Ye Qing asked with a sneer.

Hot Gongji, the old bastard, has been sloppy with himself from the beginning, and has never mentioned serious matters, or he has avoided the important and ignored the reality, and now he has moved Guanshan out, and he wants to use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations, which is simply a fool's dream.

"Guan Shan was beaten down by my Ye Qing and many soldiers with their lives and blood, but the prime minister is big-minded and bold, and if he doesn't ask for a word, do you think I, Ye Qing, will admit it? Do you take other people's things and give them to others? I am now saying that Xingqing Mansion was given to your country by me, is it reasonable? Su Dao and the others are still imprisoned in Red Deer, and they want to ransom them back, yes, Su Dao is 100,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the people are increased ten times according to their duties, 100 taels of soldiers, all of them are 1,000 taels, and the largest generals are not many except Su Dao, adding up to only 180 people, I am not polite to you, 1 million taels of silver, 20,000 Xia people are captured, I will return them all. Ye Qing said toughly.

Hot Gongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, he knew that Ye Qing would sit on the ground and raise the price, but he didn't expect to dare to slaughter it so much, and he would ask for a million taels of silver, which ...... It's literally killing him, isn't it?

"If the Prime Minister feels that he can't afford it, he can also not talk about it, I now have people who have never seen blood and have never killed anyone, 20,000 people I have the right to train soldiers, I can't train 20,000 elite soldiers, how can I take your 20,000 people, I Ye Qing can also train 10,000 elite soldiers, and if I don't train 5,000 elite soldiers like I will capture Guanshan together, for me, it is far more cost-effective than 1 million taels of silver. The Prime Minister should know that I Ye Qing will do what I say, when I broke through all the way from Guanshan, the Prime Minister chased all the way, I must have seen a lot of scenery I didn't like, right? The corners of Ye Qing's mouth showed a hint of killing intent.

In front of the hot Gongji, the piles of corpses on the road to Guanshan and the dilapidated pass resurfaced again, and his scalp tingled involuntarily, he believed in Ye Qing's words, and he also believed that Ye Qing was not lying to him, after all, he had already done it at the beginning.

"Okay, I promise you!" The hand in the sleeve of Hot Gongji clenched his fist tightly, if one million taels could solve the contradiction with Ye Qing, it would not be a loss for him, after all, compared to losing Guan Shan, one million taels of silver was really nothing.

Hot Gongji thought that one million taels would completely solve all the things between him, Ye Qing, and even the Song Kingdom, but obviously, he and the Xia State officials on his side were obviously too optimistic.

Just when he and those Xia State officials couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that one million taels was not only within the acceptable range, but even a little as if they had taken advantage of it, Ye Qing opened his mouth again and put forward the second and third conditions.......

"When I Ye Qing had not yet arrived in Xingqing Mansion from Liao State, the Prime Minister did not persecute my Great Song merchants, how to calculate this account? The Song people who are imprisoned in your prison will be released immediately, and each person will be compensated with two hundred taels of silver, after all, my Song people are noble and cannot be counted as one hundred taels. As for those who were killed by you, they were to pay a thousand taels of silver each. Ye Qing said lightly, not caring at all about the hot Gongji and the few Xia State officials next to him, and his face turned from happiness to anger.

Hot Gongji was silent, and then silently calculated in his heart for a long time, this amount of silver is not much, it is not much money, you can bear it: "Okay, the old man agrees." ”?“ Third, a total of 5,000 people from my flower planting army were wiped out, and I, Ye Qing, was seriously injured, and I asked you for 1,000 taels of silver ...... each. ”

"Lord Ye, whether the Flower Planter Army has been wiped out, you and I both know this in our hearts, if the Flower Planter Army has been wiped out under the Red Deer Pass, dare to ask Lord Ye, who was fighting with our soldiers before Yu Yunwen and others arrived? Could it be that the lonely ghosts on the mountain can't be successful? Hot Gongji finally caught Ye Qing's speech sickness, and said with the anger in his heart.

"Oh, that's right, that's unreasonable, right, so be it, two thousand people killed in the battle, that's a real number." Ye Qing didn't forget to confirm with Hot Gongji, and then continued: "If one person is counted as one thousand taels, then it is two million taels of silver. If the Prime Minister is unwilling, yes, all the previous conditions will be null and void. ”

Ye Qing didn't give the hot Gongji a space to speak, and then continued: "The six fortresses of Guanshan have been damaged to varying degrees, and all of this is because of the Prime Minister, if the adults don't encircle and suppress me Ye Qing in Guanshan, then it won't cause such a big loss, and it won't make me still need to spend money to repair it now, six checkpoints, one level is 200,000 taels of silver, so it's 1.2 million taels of silver, how about it?" ”

Ye Qing's conditions were completely aimed at five million taels of silver, and the Xia people had to pay one million taels of silver to buy back their captives, and then two million taels of silver would be compensated for the flower planting army, plus one million taels for the repair of the six roads of Guanshan, and then the compensation for the Song people and merchants, so it was almost certain that five million taels of silver would not be able to run away.

If Yan Jing was present at this moment, he would feel that Ye Qing had thought more about the friendship between the two of them for him, and how to help them defend against Temujin.

Hot Gongji was already angry and didn't know what to say, and the Xia officials next to him, on the territory of the Song people, although they didn't dare to point at Ye Qing and scold, they were also angry at this time and sat on the chair and snorted.

This Ye Qing in front of him is simply arrogant and unreasonable, five million taels of silver, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, does he think that Xia Guo's silver is so easy to earn?

Did he really think that he had eaten the Great Xia Kingdom, and that the Great Xia Kingdom would not dare to meet him in battle?

Hot Gongji sighed and said in a low voice: "Lord Ye's request is too excessive, the old man can't accept it, even if my Great Xia Kingdom can raise these five million taels of silver in a short period of time, I won't give it to Lord Ye so shamefully." Master Ye has ever thought that if the old man gambles the five million taels of silver, maybe he will really be able to recapture Guanshan, or even directly under the city of Chang'an, Jingzhao Mansion? ”

"That's right, Ye Qing, don't think that if you win a battle with my Great Xia Kingdom and rob our Guanshan Fortress, you will have the upper hand, and you can point fingers at us and ask for a price, let me tell Ye Qing, don't force us to be in a hurry, if we are in a hurry, we will not hesitate to have another big battle with you, and see who can have the last laugh." An official of the Xia Kingdom, who was about the same age as Ye Qing, stood up and said angrily at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing first glanced at him without saying a word, as if he agreed with the hot Gongji of this official's words, and then looked at the official and said lightly: "Li An'an, the king of Zhenyi County, the son of Li Renyou, the king of Yue in Xia Kingdom, a few days ago, due to the death of King Yue, I wrote to ask the emperor of your country to give you the title of king of Yue, but it was refused, and then he was demoted to the king of Zhenyi County, right?" ”

Hot Gongji couldn't help frowning, raised his head to look at Ye Qing with a relaxed expression, and then looked at Li An'an who looked surprised, thinking in his heart, it seems that even now, Ye Qing still knows every move of Xia Guo very clearly, and it is no wonder that he wants to let himself let go of those imprisoned Song businessmen, obviously many of them are his spies, naturally, there are still many spies who are still active in Xingqing Mansion.

"You...... Do you know me? Li An'an, who was full of meat, asked in surprise.

"Not only do I know you, but I also know that you have a son and a daughter, and I know where your family is, and how many princesses you have." Ye Qing said lightly.

But even so, the old man still couldn't agree to the conditions that Lord Ye had just proposed. And....... Hot Gongji said in a deep voice: "The Song people who were imprisoned by the old man, the old man can be released, but they must no longer stay in my Great Xia Kingdom." ”

Ye Qing didn't seem to hear the second half of his words at all, but said lightly: "You can not agree, Ye has a lot of respect for the Prime Minister and the King of Zhenyi County, but...... Just as the Prime Minister knows, Sangkun, Temujin, and I, Ye Qingnai, are friends of eight worships, and now our two brothers are imprisoned by the Prime Minister in the Xia Kingdom, as brothers, it is reasonable for me and Temujin to join forces to ask for someone from the Xia Kingdom in order to rescue our brothers, right? ”

"You...... Ye Qing, are you a threat? Hot Gongji was stunned for a moment, and two cold cold lights shot out of his old eyes in an instant.

And Li An'an, who originally stood up angrily next to him, was stunned, and his eyes turned thoughtful at this time.

"What about the threat? Since the Prime Minister was able to talk and laugh with me Ye Qing while secretly killing me, now that I, Ye Qing, have eased up, I want to blatantly retaliate against the Prime Minister, so what? Ye Qing also looked cold, and said strongly: "Even if Sang Kun is dead, even if it is our drunkard's intention, so what?" After occupying the danger of Guanshan, Xia Guo is like my Ye Qing's back garden, if I want to take a walk, I will ride my horse and whip, the prime minister is not convinced, okay, we can compare and compare! Now I have people, and I am not afraid of war! ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Qing glanced at Li An'an next to him intentionally or unintentionally, because this person failed to inherit the title of his father King Yue, he was now at odds with the emperor in the palace, so he had the intention of usurping the throne.

And in history, this product finally succeeded in usurping the throne, but before the throne could be hot, he was successfully usurped by his cousin and nephew, deposing him as the emperor, and finally died unexplained soon after.

So for Ye Qing, the Li An'an in front of him is definitely a chess piece that can be used, and it is also the only chess piece that can be used as a breakthrough.

As the Tatars unified the steppe, both Xia and Jin felt a lot of pressure, and it was precisely because of the growing strength of Temujin that the Xia had to start a war against the Jin State, hoping to stop the loss of the Tatar war.

The rise of Temujin, I have to say, in addition to its own powerful factors, is also related to the surrounding Xia, Liao, Jin, and Song have all entered their respective bottlenecks, and Li Chunyou, the current emperor of the Xia Kingdom, was finally driven down by Li An'an, and Li An'an's ass was pushed down by his cousin before he could sit firmly.

Although the throne of the Jin Kingdom did not change much, but in the face of the powerful Temujin, the Jin Empire had to be entrusted to Wanyan Yongji after his early death, and then passed on to his son, in short, the entire imperial family was also in an unstable turmoil, which would affect the stability of the entire court.

In addition, the war with Xia also gave Temujin an opportunity to take advantage of, so most of the reason for the defeat of Jin and Xia was not how powerful Temujin was, but that they were powerless to resist at that time.

Of course, the Liao State is weaker in comparison, and after Yelu Pu completed the Chan in Yelu Zhilugu, he was Qu Zhulu, Ye Qing, who wanted to help Yelu Yue get rid of the Hou Cheng steppe people, and succeeded in usurping the throne, which also made the Liao State like a puddle of mud, unable to pose any threat to Temujin at all, and in the face of the Tatar iron cavalry, it was almost crushed with one blow.

During this period, the situation of various countries was in turmoil, and it was precisely because Ye Qing took a fancy to this point that he sharpened his head for the Northern Expedition, and risked the infamy of becoming a minister and a hero, taking advantage of the loopholes of the times to give himself a place in the Central Plains.

The hall was still very silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense and suffocating, Ye Qing was as leisurely as ever, tasting the tea brought from the south, while Hot Gongji had a gloomy face, weighing the pros and cons of turning his face with Ye Qing in his heart.

"The old man can't answer you today, the old man needs to think about it carefully, how about it?" Hot Gongji sighed, wanting to avoid Ye Qing's aggressiveness today, sink for a day or two, and then talk to Ye Qing, naturally expecting that after two days, Ye Qing will be able to calm down a little bit of anger when he sees him for the first time today, maybe in that case, he will be able to talk a little more calmly.

"You have time to think here, Chang'an City will not be like Xingqing Mansion, like a thief, to guard against you, so you can walk around at will. And...... Even if Chang'an City is now down, but even compared to Xingqing Mansion, there is still a little bit of concession, take a good look, in the near future, maybe Chang'an will return to the majestic scene of the past, and then think about the bittersweet memory, but it is not so easy. Ye Qing got up and motioned to take the hot Gongji to the post house to rest.

Hot Gongji nodded wordlessly, no matter whether Ye Qing's words behind him meant to warn him, he couldn't make a decision immediately, he had to weigh the pros and cons carefully, and then he could make a choice.

Ye Qing watched everyone leave, and waved his hand to signal the other officials to go about their own affairs, after all, Chang'an and the surrounding areas today are not in ruins, but they are also the beginning of reconstruction, so everyone is a radish and a pit, and today he summoned these people, which has already made King Qing anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Hot Gongji and Li An'an came to Chang'an City together, which made Ye Qing have to think about it, is Li An'an hoping to take back his father the title of King Yue with the help of Hot Gongji's prestige in the court, or is it that Hot Gongji got on Li An'an's thief ship and began to intentionally help Li An'an seek power and usurp the throne?

Looking at the group of people who came to the end and were about to turn out of the shadow wall, Li An'an suddenly stopped, looked back at Ye Qing in the hall, and then smiled before following the footsteps of everyone and leaving, Ye Qing was a little puzzled for a while, what did this thing want to do?

When he returned to the house, Bai Chun and the Red Mansion were doing nothing in the courtyard teasing that Hai Dongqing, although the name of Xiao Bai Chun had not completely died, but now except for himself, no one dared to call that Hai Dongqing Xiao Bai Chun, even the Red Mansion shouted a little bird every time, but he trembled and did not dare to approach, so he could only hide behind Bai Da Meiren, with an excited and nervous face, watching Bai Chun teasing Hai Dongqing.

"Coming back?" Bai Chun got up, learned what Ye Qing had taught her at the beginning, and threw a piece of raw meat into the air, and then a cool breeze blew out of thin air, and Xiao Bai Chun flapped her wings and flew.

"In the past two days, I sent people to keep an eye on the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, especially Li An'an, to see if this kid will have other actions in Chang'an." Ye Qing hugged Bai Chun and said.

"Where's the hot Gongji?" Bai Chun asked with a blink of beautiful eyes.

"Don't bother with it, although he is old and strong, but now he can't play any tricks, but that Li An'an, I'm a little unsure now, what is the purpose of his coming together." After Ye Qing sat down, the Red Chamber motioned to the maid to bring tea and snacks.

Bai Chun sat down opposite Ye Qing, and suddenly smiled mysteriously on the indifferent cheeks that didn't eat the fireworks in the world: "It's easy to do, the concubine has invited a master as a husband, presumably if the concubine can't help, she will definitely be able to help." ”

"Who?" Ye Qing asked with some curiosity.
