For half a month, Ye Qing stayed in Jinan Mansion and couldn't leave for Jingzhao Mansion.

When it came to the discussion with Wanyan Yongji, the attitude of the Jin people was still wavering, and they had always hoped to be able to get left and right between Song and Mongolia.

Qiu Chuji and Tan Chudu went to Yanjing City, bringing with them Temujin's meaning, so that they could shelter Zamuhe, no longer ask them to hand over the people, and even from now on, the two countries could stop fighting.

The only requirement was to recognize the existence of the Great Mongols, not to be a subordinate of their Jin people, as they had been in the past.

The very simple conditions, and even taking the initiative to negotiate a truce with the Jin people, naturally made Wan Yanjing and even the entire Jin State court feel inspired, and at the same time, the officials led by Lin Ming and Jia Guqing began to discuss whether the soldiers could go south now and regain the lost territory they had lost at the beginning.

Ye Qing had to write a letter to Wan Yan Jing in person during the negotiation with Wan Yan Yongji and Li Shi'er, just like what he said when he was in Jingzhao Mansion, and he also explained the stakes of these days to Wan Yan Jing in front of Wan Yan Yongji.

But up to now, the attitude of the Jin Kingdom is still wavering, and it seems that it is more inclined to negotiate peace with Temujin, and this side still hopes to win over itself to their Great Jin Kingdom.

This is not the result that Ye Qing wants, it can even be said that it is the result that Ye Qing is most unwilling to see, Temujin's kindness to Wan Yan Jing, relatively speaking, what hurts him is the relationship between Ye Qing and the Jin people, and it is inevitable that they can no longer live in peace, let alone the alliance to attack Xia.

In addition to the great goodwill and honesty released to the Jin people, the Mongols also extended an olive branch like the Xia State, and the envoys sent by Temujin to the capital of the Xia State were personally summoned by the Xia Emperor Li Chunyou, and the relationship between the two countries also changed from the previous no intersection to become intimate all of a sudden.

Temujin made a series of overtures to Xia and Jin, in addition to appeasing the two countries' worries about his Mongolia, the biggest purpose was to use them to suppress Ye Qing, so that he could successfully conquer Liao without worrying about Ye Qing's small actions behind his back.

Ye Qing took away Guanshan, the Xia court must be angry, Ye Qing took away most of the territory plundered by the Jin people back then, and the Jin people always wanted to recapture it, so Temujin knew very well that as long as the Great Mongolia that had just been established could make Jin and Xia not feel hostile, and there was no worry or vigilance, then the two countries would inevitably turn their attention to Ye Qing's body, so as to help him contain Ye Qing from being unable to move south of the Yellow River, and could only watch him conquer Liao.

"The negative impact of the alliance with the Golden Man...... In Lin'an or my Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid it will be beyond your imagination, which will not be beneficial to you at all, and will only put you more in the cusp of the storm, under the abuse and attack of the world. Zhu Xi, who came to Jinan Mansion yesterday, stroked his beard and was silent for a while before he spoke:

"As the so-called people are terrible, the officials above the Lin'an court only care about their own interests, even if they understand that the purpose of your Lianjin is to recover more lost territory in the future, they will not clarify it for you, they will only attack you Ye Qing and sentence Song Toujin, put more pressure on you, and finally see you ruined. And the people have no enthusiasm to serve the country, but you must not expect it

They can understand your Ye Qing's suffering. Let alone...... It has always been the ignorance of the people, and their eyes will never be as long-term as yours, but will only be related to the present, the matter of Lianjin...... The harm outweighs the good, so you have to think twice. ”

"With Mr.'s righteousness, he can't help Ye survive for a while?" Ye Qing asked a little bitterly.

"Literati are light, this is what you said in front of the old man back then." Zhu Xi sighed slightly: "Even if the old man has the heart to help you, but after all, his ability is limited, and the vision of the literati is not much longer than that of the people, not to mention ...... If the old man has as much influence among the literati as you think, he won't even find a foothold in Lin'an. ”

"Scholars and literati are also easily deceived and deceived by people with intentions, thus becoming a murderous knife in the hands of court politicians. This is especially true of the imperial history and the officials, and now Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan are fighting for power and profit in the court, which is becoming more and more intense, Ye thought that this was a great opportunity, but now it seems that it is ...... Still not thoughtful enough. Ye Qing sighed and said helplessly.

"If the old man can help you Ye Qing, he will look at the repair of the Confucian Temple, and try his best to help you, even ...... Some time ago, I also wrote to Jingzhao Mansion to explain everything to your father-in-law, Bai Bingzhong, and Ye Heng, a distant relative of your Ye family, so you don't have to worry about this. The old man was at fault with what happened back then, but you Ye Qing was also at fault, but since it has passed, the old man will no longer care about you. Zhu Xi was rarely tolerant, and after smiling generously, he asked as if he remembered something: "By the way, why are you so sure that the Mongols on the steppe will be a greater threat to my Great Song than Jin and Xia?" ”

"Do Mr. Qiu Chuji and Mr. Tan Chuduan know who they are?" Ye Qing asked lightly.

"That's natural, and it's said that I came to Lin'an a few years ago...... At that time, he followed Temujin? Zhu Xi asked with a slight surprise.

"Yes, it is my Great Song Lin'an who came with Temujin. And Ye knew these two people, but it started from when Emperor Gaozong sent me to envoy Jin Guo: the snow was falling, and the two of them almost froze to death on the grassland, and I was chased by Jin soldiers at that time, saving these two people along the way. Ye Qing sighed and recalled the scene back then.

"The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring, so it seems that Qiu and Tan should be grateful and respectful to you, but why are they on opposite sides now?" Zhu Xi knew that Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan had a good reputation in the Northland, but he was not very familiar with the past of the two, and as for the intersection with Ye Qing, he was even more ignorant.

"These two people have made it their life's ambition to carry forward the Quanzhen Sect, and naturally, they need a powerful force to help them. The so-called Taoism, there is a sense of mystery and unfathomability, although Ye Mou is not very convinced, but Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan were able to give up the preferential treatment given to them by the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yong back then, even if Yu Yanjing built the most magnificent Taoist temple for them, but the two still had to go north to the grassland to help Temujin. Ye Qing glanced at Zhu Xi, who was listening intently, and then continued: "Back then, Temujin was only the leader of a small tribe on the grassland, and it was far from being a climate, but Qiu and Tan were extremely optimistic that Temujin could become the male lord of the first generation. I didn't believe it at the time, but now that the facts are in front of me, I can't help but believe it. ”

Zhu Xi thoughtfully pointed

Nodding his head, he sighed slightly: "In this way, the so-called peeping into the heavenly machine will make you Ye Qing also believe that this Temujin will inevitably become the biggest threat to my Great Song Dynasty in the future?" ”

"It's not Temujin, it's the Mongols, if we don't check and balance it now, I'm afraid that one day after they ride south, the land of China will be a mess, which is even more terrible than the mess left by the Jin people in the north. So...... Although Ye is not a righteous gentleman, he also knows that the orthodox foundation of China cannot tolerate foreign races to destroy and destroy. Whether Ye is attacking gold or cutting summer, in the final analysis...... The ultimate goal is to hope that the Quartet of China can be kept stable and peaceful. Ye Qing sighed: "Now that Temujin has established Mongolia, it is even more unstoppable, I must not sit still and watch him continue to grow and develop, while we are standing still and finally being bullied." Jingkang's incident, presumably Mr. should still remember it vividly, right? ”

"So what are you going to do next? Old man...... I'm afraid there aren't many that can help you. Since Zhu Xi came to Jinan Mansion yesterday, he has become more and more aware of the Ye Qing in front of him, how pleasing to the eye, as if he was not the same person as Ye Qing back then, which made him hate it at all, and even made him a little suspicious, Ye Qing, who had imprisoned himself in the Imperial City Division, was not the young man in front of him who was pleasing to the eye.

"Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, aren't they going to rehabilitate Qin Hui now? So I'm going to ...... Don't stop this from ....... ”

"It's true to rehabilitate Qin Hui, but how to solve the matter between you and Jinren? Since the Jin people are more inclined to the Mongols, they must look south and put pressure on you. Zhu Xi interrupted Ye Qing's words and said with some displeasure.

After all, he originally thought that Ye Qing would inevitably adhere to his position as the main battle faction in the matter of Qin Hui, instead of compromising with Shi and Han above the court like now.

"But even if I have the heart to stop it, can I organize them to rehabilitate Qin Hui?" Ye Qing looked at Zhu Xi with a smile and said, "Obviously, this is impossible. The reason why they did this is nothing more than to use this matter to suppress me. In short, no matter what I do, whether it is with the Jin Alliance or against the Jin, they will have all kinds of arguments and reasons to attack me. Their ultimate goal is not to rehabilitate Qin Hui, but to take the opportunity to use this matter to suppress me. ”

"Since that's the case, then you don't stop them from rehabilitating Qin Hui...... What do you want? Zhu Xi frowned, obviously, the things above the court were still a little rusty to him, and the scholarly spirit obviously couldn't adapt to the intrigues and tricks above the court.

"With their help, we will stabilize the peace between the Northland and the Jin, so that I will have the opportunity to plot in the west." Ye Qing tapped on the table and said.

Just as some time ago, Xin Qiji had been opposing him to join the Jin, and now after half a month of careful consideration, Ye Qing has also decided to completely give up the alliance with the Jinren, and instead start from the king of Xia Guozhenyi, first instigating internal strife in Xia, and then trying to find a way to attack Xia with his own strength.

In this way, Ye Qing must not only guard against the possible southward invasion of the Jin people, but also concentrate on attacking Xia, so he can no longer be distracted to deal with the small actions of Shi and Han in the court, and can only hope to use them to rehabilitate Qin Hui and reach a peace agreement with the Jin State from the court, so as to buy himself enough time.
