The sun has set in the west, and Ye Qing, who came out of King Qing's Mansion, can finally relax his mind for the time being, and in the same way, he also knows that today's palace banquet, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle waiting for him.

Ye Luyue, who followed Ye Qing out, although her face was calm, her white forehead was also slightly wrinkled, and the two had a tacit understanding that they did not choose to take the carriage, but walked in the direction of the Lin'an Palace under the sunset.

"On what terms did you get him for agreeing to help us?" Yeluyue put aside the theory of the death of the country for the time being, and first cared about the matter in front of her.

"For Hot Gongji, it is undoubtedly just a cake to satisfy hunger." Ye Qing stretched his long waist and continued with a yawn: "There is a territory south of the Yellow River in the shape of several figures, where there are three roads such as Xiqin and Qingyuan ruled by the Jin State. It is precisely because Yu Yunwen's thunderous momentum occupies Jingzhaofu Road that the Xia people dare not blatantly attack the third road of Hetao, for fear that we will take advantage of the opportunity. So today, Hot Gongji naturally wants to threaten me with this, but how can the Jin people be unguarded? As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, there must be an injury, and I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Ye Luyue asked with some confusion.

Ye Qing smiled: "Almost, as for the rest, it's not enough, it's just a little favor and a little favor." ”

Saying this, Ye Qing has already begun to worry about whether this four-nation alliance, which has not yet been established, can support the four countries to lead their troops to Liao, or is it ...... Whether this alliance can form a fighting force and deter the Khwarazmian people from making an easy crusade to the east.

After all, the interests of this alliance are too complicated, as if one trigger affects the whole body, and various interests collude with each other, once one party has different intentions and movements, then it will inevitably involve the interests of the other three parties, and the so-called alliance will be disintegrated and collapsed in an instant.

Infighting has never been a trait that the Chinese people lack, on the contrary, this trait is also particularly obvious in the Chinese people, but it has to be said that the traditional charm and resilience of the Central Plains culture can make the various ethnic groups in the Chinese territory unconsciously glue together, fighting each other from time to time, but never forever separated.

What Ye Qing has been pursuing is a united territory, where there can be internal disputes and different positions, rather than being like Europe, scattered with various countries of different sizes, although it has also been strong, but its strong vitality has already shown a decline in later generations.

One can imagine how powerful a Europe would be if it existed like the territory of China, and how small it would be if the territory of China were scattered to be like Europe?

Ye Qing is very glad that he grew up in the land full of mysterious charm of the Chinese territory, and he is also very fortunate that this vast territory has its charm and cohesion that is difficult for outsiders to understand, and even so, the trend of history will not always be long-lasting.

If you want to prosper for a long time, at least on the land of Huaxia territory, it is naturally impossible to scatter more political powers, one is actually enough!

The Liao envoy behind him followed behind the carriage, watching Ye Qing and Yeluyue walk in front from a distance, Yelu Wangxiang's gaze, most of the time, would be on Yeluyue's back, and when looking at Ye Qing, his gaze would become more and more elusive, and even occasionally he could catch a trace of hatred and jealousy.

At the Donghua Gate, Zhao Ruyu's carriage stopped beside him, watching Ye Qing and Ye Luyue and other envoys slowly approach, and then he retracted his thoughts after facing the saint just now.

When Ye Qing and Ye Luyue were like childhood sweethearts, the invisible and intangibles between the two dragged each other, Zhao Ruyu showed a meaningful smile again, just like when he watched Zhong Qing and Ye Qing appear at Heningmen.

Ye Qing's brief introduction, Zhao Ruyu and Ye Luyue had a simple greeting, and then Ye Lu Yue, under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, led his Liao envoys and began to take the lead in walking to the palace where the Emperor of the Song Dynasty lived.

Zhao Ruyu and Ye Qing stood side by side, on the royal street under the sunset, it was still full of people and lively, and the coolness of autumn made people love to travel more than the hot summer some time ago, so the time to stay on the street would be longer, but the afterglow of the sunset was obviously not as long as that of summer, and it began to fall below the horizon in a hurry.

The last trace of red glow was reflected in the sky, the drinking water of Donghua Gate was gurgling, Zhao Ruyu organized his words, at this moment, the only thing he could do was to support Ye Qing as the privy envoy of the Privy Council.

Although between the words of the saint, it was expressed that Ye Qing's appointment as a privy envoy was only temporary, but Zhao Ruyu's heavy heart was more willing to believe that once Ye Qing was appointed as a privy envoy, I am afraid that if he wanted to peel it off again, the imperial court would have to look at Ye Qing's face.

Even Zhao Ruyu himself didn't know why he made such a judgment that he looked up to Ye Qing too much, but he still thought that once Ye Qing became the privy envoy, the time would be ...... I'm afraid there will be no one to check and balance anymore.

"The original agreement with Lord Ye, someone Zhao now wants to ask Lord Ye, does it still count?" Zhao Ruyu asked calmly.

Ye Qing turned his head in some surprise, and then after thinking about it, he understood that Zhao Ruyu had come out of the palace on purpose to wait for him here, not just about to enter the palace: "In this way, the Duke of Yi has already seen the saint who just returned from the Lonely Mountain today?" ”

"Yes, as soon as the saint returned to the palace, he summoned me, Wang Huai, and Han Cheng, so now, Wang Huai and Han Cheng also know about it. Lord Ye has to be prepared to be opposed by others tonight. Zhao Ruyu said lightly.

"What does Yi Guogong mean?" Ye Qing asked.

"You and I had a covenant before, and I am naturally a gentleman who keeps the covenant." Zhao Ruyu took a breath of some uneasiness and said, "Now Lord Ye is before me, so I don't know if Lord Ye will support me at that time?" ”

"Wang Huai?" Ye Qing smiled and said.

"Yes, just today, if we can get the help of Lord Ye, after tonight, everything will be settled, and the situation that we have been fighting in Lin'an for many days will also come to a result tonight." Zhao Ruyu nodded and said.

Now the situation in the Lin'an court has completely gathered on Wang Huai alone, as long as Wang Huai is actively or passively sent by the left minister, then everything that follows will be a matter of course.

With Ye Qing's long talk with Zhao Yan in Gushan yesterday, and then Zhao Yan made up his mind today to bet on whether he could leave a name in history and save the reputation of the Zhao and Song clans on Ye Qing's decision to unite with the Jin, Xia, and Tatars, so the controversy and undercurrent in the Lin'an court naturally followed the premise.

In this world, there has never been a single thing that exists alone, even if it seems to be unrelated to each other, but they are all inextricably linked and causal.

As Ye Qing triggers the switch of the Game of Thrones here, it will naturally cause the triggering of other joints above the court, which will also affect the whole body, and all the development of things will begin to be advanced to the stage of results.

"So, Lord Zhao has already discussed it with Lord Han?" Ye Qing looked at Zhao Ruyu, who was confident, and continued to ask.

Wang Huai is the cause, Han Cheng is the effect, after all, as long as Wang Huai's left minister is removed, Han Cheng will inevitably fill the vacancy as soon as possible, and Zhao Ruyu will correspondingly immediately make up for the lack of the right minister left by Han Cheng, which will also trigger a chain reaction up and down the court, catching everyone off guard.

But this kind of surprise to everyone is just aimed at the officials from all walks of life and ministries who ran for official positions and important officials in Lin'an City some time ago, and it has no impact on people like Zhao Ruyu, Han Cheng, Shi Miyuan and others, but it will only affect the dispatch of their respective party forces.

Zhao Ruyu nodded, so that Ye Qing could only nod in agreement, and said: "Okay, gentleman's appointment, Ye is here to congratulate the right minister." ”

"So the first thing Lord Ye should do when he enters the palace is to see the prince first." Zhao Ruyu smiled and said proudly.

"This doesn't have to worry about Zhao Xiang, Ye knows it in his heart." The Duke of Yi in Ye Qing's mouth has become Lord Zhao, and now he has become the right minister and Zhao Xiang, claiming that he has also changed from me to Ye someone, it is enough to see that after today, their so-called gentleman's covenant will come to an end.

Like the envoys of various countries, this time, whether it was Ye Qing or Zhao Ruyu, they did not go to the palace gate of Hening Gate, which is like the back door of the palace, but all of them went from Donghua Gate to the direction of Lizheng Gate.

The carriage stopped at the main gate of the palace, Ye Qing took the lead in getting out of Zhao Ruyu's carriage, and at this time, the sky above his head happened to sound the sound of the twilight drum of the Yuan Yu armillary instrument elephant standing above the Jiahui Gate like a hill, the melodious and heavy drum sound has long been accustomed to people, but Ye Qing, who has not passed by the main gate of Li for a long time, still looks a little trance.

"Lord Ye's handwriting back then, if it weren't for this Yuan Yu Armillary Image, I'm afraid it would still be difficult for the Holy Lord to choose. This thing is carried by my Great Song Dynasty National Fortune, which was mentioned by the Emperor Taishang and supervised by Lord Ye. Now some people say that it is precisely because of the completion of the Yuanyou armillary instrument that our Great Song Dynasty ushered in today's great situation in which the envoys of the four countries came to congratulate and the four roads of the north were recovered. Zhao Ruyu was half a step behind Ye Qing, stood next to him and sighed.

"What does Zhao Xiang mean...... This thing is a thing of Zhenguo to my Great Song Dynasty, and it also has the merit of promotion to my Ye Qing? The corners of Ye Qing's mouth raised a smile, in order to save his life in front of Zhao Gou, he took over this big project head-on, he didn't expect it to stand still and it is not bad, it seems that his craftsmanship and the craftsmanship of the Song people are quite good.

And not only that, if he hadn't seen this thing today, I'm afraid Ye Qing would have found it hard to believe that the life-saving thing back then had also brought him a bright future in the present day.

Without waiting for the two to finish speaking, they remembered the sound of horses' hooves not far from Heningmen, and then the carriages slowly stopped at Heningmen, headed by Han Cheng and his son, Shi Miyuan, Shi Hao, and behind them there were Dali Guo, Ziqi, Luo Dian, Temujin and others, and then the sedan chair and carriage were other officials of the Great Song Dynasty who were qualified to participate in today's palace banquet.

Han Cheng and Shi Hao just glanced at Ye Qing and Zhao Ruyu who were standing not far away, and then under the guidance of the palace eunuchs, they slowly walked towards the direction of the main gate of Li, Han Yanxuan, Shi Miyuan, and Temujin and Duan Zhilian, the prince of Dali, walked towards them with a smile, and the rest of the envoys and other Song court officials followed behind Han Cheng and Shi Hao, and also walked towards the palace from the main gate of Li.

Looking at the streams entering from the main gate of Li, Ye Qing still had a faint smile on his face, and Zhao Ruyu's expression was much more dignified when facing Han Yanxuan.

After a few people saluted each other, Ye Qing looked up and down at Temujin, who had changed into a Song robe, and frowned, "Who gave you the idea?" ”

As Temujin smiled and pointed at Shi Miyuan, a meaningful smile began to appear on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, and without waiting to speak, Shi Miyuan spoke: "I am just talking to Lord Ye with each other, I don't know if Lord Ye is still happy to talk to King Wei Shao in Yipinlou today?" ”

"Thank you Lord Shi for not bothering, otherwise, how could there be today's fruit?" Ye Qing replied with a smile.

The tacit words made the smiles on the faces of the two of them look extraordinarily meaningful at this moment.

Han Yanxuan looked at Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing's tacit dumb riddle with an expressionless face, and now he already knew that Ye Qing would be sent by the Holy Lord as a privy envoy, which also made him want to re-evaluate the situation again in the peace talks with Ziqi and Luo Dian, whether he should continue to attack Ziqi and Luo Dian, and even include Dali Kingdom.

After all, only if his own merits are greater than Ye Qinghou, then it is possible for him to become a privy envoy, or a privy envoy of the same knowledge.

"Xiaguan is here to congratulate Lord Ye first." Han Yanxuan said coldly.

"So I will definitely support you, Lord Han, as long as it is not too much, I will never embarrass Lord Han. Even Lord Han can rest assured that behind you during the expedition, Ye will assure you that there will be no more villains secretly doing trouble. Ye Qing said in the end, but his eyes were looking at Shi Miyuan.

"Ye Qing, you ......." Shi Miyuan involuntarily stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Qing, which clearly meant that he had instigated the matter of Dali Kingdom at the beginning, and he mentioned it again at this juncture, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and provoked the already deep grudge between him and Han Yanxuan.

"Do I have a name? Why is Master Shi in such a hurry to refute and clear up? Could it be that at that time, the king was secretly making trouble, and you were also involved? Ye Qing's gaze roamed from Shi Miyuan's face to Han Yanxuan's face, who suddenly frowned and pondered, and then froze on the face of Duan Zhilian, the prince of Dali.

Shi Miyuan, who was still angry just now, was slightly stunned, and then looked at Han Yanxuan, who was also thoughtful, and Zhao Ruyu, who was smiling, and instantly understood that Ye Qing's words were pointed out in front of the prince of Dali: In addition to accepting bribes, Wang Huai also secretly colluded with Dali to help Ziqi, Luodian and the Song Dynasty!

"Then thank you, Lord Ye." After Han Yanxuan suddenly said such a sentence, he whispered a few words to Duan Zhilian, and then walked to the palace with Duan Zhilian first.

With the departure of Han Yanxuan and Duan Zhilian, Zhao Ruyu also walked towards the palace not far behind him alone, and then Ye Qing and Temujin side by side, also began to walk towards the palace, leaving only Shi Miyuan, still figuring out who would be the final winner after the palace banquet tonight.

(ps: I can't figure it out tomorrow, it's going to be interrupted, and the next plot is not going very well, so I'll work hard.) ）
