In the past few days since the snow stopped, the snow on the grassland has not melted much, and the sun seems to have lost its temperature, just to make people distinguish between day and night.

After a few days of hurrying, Ye Qing analyzed to Zhao Qi'er, Po Li San, Xu Qing and Lao Liu Tou whether the Jin people would save face by retaliating against the imperial court, or because they fled the grassland, and then reversed themselves and abolished the edict just issued, and no longer exempted the Song court from the New Year's coin.

And with Ye Qing's analysis of the situation of the Jin Kingdom, whether it was Zhao Qi'er, Lao Liu Tou, or others, they all looked a little incredulous, and couldn't help but look at each other with shocked expressions.

Therefore, from Ye Qing's analysis, whether it is the Tatar steppe where they are now, or the Western Xia or the weak Song Dynasty, under the complicated general trend of the world, they are much safer than the situation of the Jin State.

In the eyes of several people, if it is according to Ye Qing's analysis of the general trend of the world, doesn't this mean that among these countries, if it is possible, the first to go to the country is the most powerful Jin country?

A few people obviously won't believe the facts of Ye Qing's speculation, but the facts and historical trajectory cannot be changed, and the Jin Kingdom is completely the first court to go to the tragic fate of the country in the competition of several countries.

Now it seems that the Jin Kingdom, which is powerful and can shock the Quartet, is indeed at the end of the strong crossbow, even if there is Wan Yan Yong, the emperor of the Jin State who is called Xiao Yao Shun, even if it is now in the historical trajectory of the Jin State Wan Yan Yong's hard work and the rule of Dading, which is free from slaves and good, but the fate of the Jin State and the current situation are so dilemma and difficult to ride a tiger.

Therefore, if Wan Yanyong wants to maintain the prestige of the Jin State and his personal prestige, it is naturally impossible for him to go back on the Southern Song Dynasty and immediately invalidate the edict he had just personally issued to exempt the Song Dynasty from the year.

And Wan Yan Yong wanted to vent this evil anger that killed two important ministers because of Ye Qing, unless it was to wage war against the Song court again, but under the current grim situation, the Xia State's disobedience, the impatience on the grassland, and the Song people's southern division and north look at the north have made the current Jin State extremely uncomfortable in the middle.

"In this way, isn't what Wan Yanyong lacks now is time? If he is given another one or two decades, as long as they are willing to endure now, and are willing to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, won't Dajin still be the overlord of this world and let the Quartet submit? Zhao Qi'er asked as he watched Ye Qing grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth, and then grinned coldly.

"What about giving him a decade or two? The Jin people will be stable, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, but will Xia and Tatar not? Whether it is a person, a tribe, or a group, once you have ambition in your bones, it is difficult to control. Especially the Tatars in this steppe, if the Jin people do not pursue their help to us this time, then the Tatars' slightly simple minds will think that the Jin Emperor is afraid of them, and they will begin to inch in. Ye Qing looked at the direction of the distant Wuzhou City, showed a sinister smile with white teeth, and continued: "What's more, the Tatars will soon know about the wealth of Wuzhou because of the Black Stone, and the Tatars will not be urgent in their hearts about the demand for the Black Stone?" ”

"Don't say it's them, it's me, when I marched against the wind and snow a few days ago, I wanted to take Wuzhou down and control Wuzhou, which is full of black stones, so that the winter will be much better, maybe with black stones, the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland will be less frozen to death." If I were a Tatar, if the Jin people did not hold them accountable this time, they would naturally slowly extend their hands to the interests of the Jin people. Old Liu Tou pondered and agreed.

His days on the grassland are longer than others, and he knows that every year the cattle, sheep, horses, and old people and children on the grassland are like passing through the ghost gate after the winter comes.

"So...... The emperor of the Jin people finished Yan Yong, at this time the first thing he had to do was to balance and appease, for the Keree Ministry, they could only appease as much as possible, but they could not let the Keree Ministry gain an inch in the future, this degree ...... It's hard to handle. Again...... The Kerebu is not the only big tribe on the grassland, and there are also tribes such as Naiman who will also keep an eye on the Jin country's every move, once the Jin country does not handle this degree well, it will immediately attract the dissatisfaction of other tribes. Ye Qing patted the wet soil on his buttocks, and took the lead in walking towards the war horse.

As he became more and more integrated into this great era, he also became more and more aware of the stubborn resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty in the decades after the rise of the Mongols, and the seemingly powerful Jin State was easily destroyed by the Mongols, but the Xia people let the Mongols abolish the strength of the country before the country was destroyed.

Obviously, the reason for this is not just a single comparison of national strength, but the intricate relationship between countries, as well as the competition and collision between comprehensive factors and long-term strategic situations under the combination of various grim situations.

The demise of the Jin Kingdom, in addition to their own flaws, was that they did not have the deep background and genes to be the traditional powerful rulers of China.

Coupled with the grim situation of geopolitics and the three-sided attack they faced, the Jin State was unwittingly turned into a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Three Kingdoms under the premise that the rule of the domestic officials had not been able to really get on the right track, so that under the excellent situation of being held by the stars of the Tatar, Xia and Song Kingdoms, it became a thorn in the eye of the Three Kingdoms, a thorn in the flesh, and a common fat in the eyes of the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, it is reasonable to bear the brunt of becoming the first target to be destroyed, and it can be regarded as the karma after the Jin State enslaved the Tatars and intimidated the Xia people.

Lao Liu Tou saw that Ye Qing was about to get on the horse and continue to move forward, he also patted his buttocks, put the hard as stone food he bought from Zhenwu Town into his arms, trotted to Ye Qing and grabbed the reins, looked up and asked, "Those two Taoist priests are almost recovered, what should I do now?" Leave them behind, or continue to carry them two burdens? ”

"I forgot if I didn't say anything." Ye Qing suddenly realized, and then jumped off the horse.

In the past few days, he didn't think about anything other than hurrying, and as for the two Taoist priests, he still thought about who they were along the way.

The answer is naturally very clear, the Taoist priests who haunt the grassland in this era, obviously except for the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect who have just established the religion, I am afraid that no other Taoist priests will appear here.

Ye Qing did not have a good impression of the Quanzhen Sect, or it could be said that he did not have a good impression of these "monks" who did not care about the world and purified sentient beings, but they needed the power of rulers to help them improve their influence with the Taoist temple, and even had a trace of prejudice.

Follow Lao Liu Tou to the two Taoist priests sitting around with the others, although the two Taoist priests are also the first time they have seen Ye Qing at close range in these days, but obviously they have already known that the leader of the mighty five thousand people on the grassland is the young man in front of them.

"Poor Daoqiu and Tan have seen adults." Before the two of them could get closer to Ye Qing, they had already gotten up and saluted.

Ye Qing nodded slightly, and then after glancing at Lao Liu, he walked over with Qiu Chuji and Tan Chudu to the other side where the snow was very thick.

"The two Dao Masters don't need to be polite, I don't know where the two Dao Masters are going? Where did it come from? Ye Qing asked with a slight frown.

As if sensing that Ye Qing's tone was a little unkind, after Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan glanced at each other, Qiu Chuji still replied: "The two of them came from the Jin Kingdom and went to Kunlun. ”

"In this way, the two of you rejected the kindness of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and did not plan to preach the scriptures in the Jin Kingdom, but planned to return to the Yanxia Cave?" The smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth was a little cold, and there was even a hint of hostility.

Qiu Chuji was stunned for a moment, and then said to Ye Qing with some surprise: "How do adults know about this?" ”

"Because not long after the Daoist left the Imperial Palace of the Jin Kingdom, he happened to go there once and also met the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"You...... Have you seen the golden statue of the Immortal Master? Qiu Chuji said with a moving expression.

"None of this is important, since I met the Taoist Elder by chance here, it is naturally fate, not to mention that I can be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of the two Taoist Chiefs, so there are two things to ask for." Ye Qing rubbed his stiff hands that were a little frozen and said.

"The poor Tao knows everything and says everything." The mound saluted.

"One, ask Daoist Qiu for advice, but I saw the decline of the Jin State and the decline of the rivers, so I politely rejected the Emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Yong and retained the two Dao Chiefs to assist the government? Second, I hope that the two Taoist leaders may wish to return to Wuzhou, from the sixteen states of Yanyun through the Dachunyang Wanshou Palace in Ruicheng through Guijiao, and then go all the way west to Kunlun. I don't know what the two Taoist elders mean? Naturally, if the two Dao Masters are afraid that the snow is too thick to walk between the mountains, how about sending someone to escort the two Dao Masters to the Great Pure Yang Wanshou Palace? Ye Qing smiled easily, but his tone was with a hint of firmness that could not be refused.

"Why?" Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan asked in unison.

"If the two Dao Chiefs really want to know why, then you might as well tell Zai Xia first, the two Dao Masters have calculated that the Jin State has declined, so they are not willing to stay in the Jin State Auxiliary Government?" Ye Qing asked without answering.

"It's nonsense, how could Poor Dao ever encounter the Emperor of the Jin State's intention to retain the auxiliary government?" Tan's face sank, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

Within a month, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Yong, summoned two Taoist elders into the palace twice to inquire about immortality and the art of governing the country and protecting the people. Qiu Daochang also left: analyze the principles of heaven and man, interpret the sect of morality, and speak very pleasantly. Could it be that this is also fabricated? Let alone...... Wang Dewei, the two immortal masters of the Dao, was originally the champion of the Jiake Martial Arts in the first year of the Heavenly Reign of the Jin Kingdom, but because he was not reused, he began to cultivate the Dao. Is there a mistake in the following? Ye Qing glanced at Tan Chuduan, and then quietly looked at Qiu Chuji and asked.
