The time before the first day of the first day Ye Qing was still very leisurely, the thick snow continued to melt between the heaven and the earth, although it was still gloomy for a few days, and even snowflakes had fallen, but it was incomparable with the heavy snow of the previous days, and it fell a thin layer for a short time, and then it was quickly terminated.

The purpose and request of Hot Gongji, Ye Qing has never paid attention to it, and he didn't plan to settle accounts with Xia Ren before the first day, so Hot Gongji, who ran to Pingliang Town, looked at Guguan in the distance, but he never looked forward to any news from Ye Qing.

With the melting of the snow in Chang'an City, and the approach of the footsteps of the Yuan Day, there is gradually a little more festive atmosphere, although those famous families with fame, status and status, still live with sad faces, uneasy, but in any case, the Song court government in Chang'an, did not like the Jin people back then, forcefully plundered their wealth that could not be accumulated.

But it was this half-threatening and half-begging way like a smiling tiger that had made those famous families in Chang'an City finally realize that this Ye Qing was completely a wolf in sheep's clothing, seemingly easy-going and non-threatening, but the ruthlessness of Huairou's methods made them tremble and hurt more than tough plunder.

The first day is approaching, these famous families in Chang'an City, every family is basically behind the smile of the government, and a lot of money has been broken, but they still haven't seen even one side of Ye Qing, this Ye Qing is like a bottomless pit, continuing to devour their wealth for the poor people of Chang'an City, and continue to watch them love the people for the government and promote Ye Qing's good name.

Ye Qing's good reputation in Jingzhao Mansion is rising, but the pockets of famous families are drying up rapidly, everyone knows that it is not a way to continue like this, but for a while, they are helpless in Chang'an City.

And as Ye Qing's wife began to show up in Chang'an City, before the Yuan Dynasty, there was a sudden appearance for several days in a row, which made all the famous families and wealthy businessmen tremble, and on the last day, there were several famous families and wealthy businessmen who were all brought into prison by Jingzhao Mansion in the name of Tongjin.

All of a sudden, Chang'an City was suddenly in turmoil, and everyone was in danger, but fortunately, this time the storm came quickly and retreated quickly, but after a few days, Chang'an City once again returned to its former tranquility.

Dong Chao, who returned to the Jin Kingdom, was also sent suddenly before the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Dajin Emperor had a few words, which made Ye Qing frown, and his eyes involuntarily looked further north.

The wind and snow on the grassland, which lasted longer than Jingzhaofu, were reluctantly stopped after several days late, but after the snow stopped, neither Temujin nor Zamuhe sent troops to the Jin people's frontier, let alone sent troops.

The only movement on the grassland was that Sangkun was completely defeated by Temujin, and it is said that on the snowy grassland, Sankun ran all the way to the ...... like a lost dog with only a dozen people left by his side Xia Guo.

"The grasslands are about to be unified, and a real crisis is coming." After Ye Qing put down Dong Chao's secret letter, he said something that had nothing to do with the Jin people.

Yu Yunwen, King Qing, and Chongguo Gong were also very relaxed at this time, and the four of them were drinking steaming tea in the private room in the government office at this time, and after Dong Chao's letter was handed to Yu Yunwen by Ye Qing, Yu Yunwen didn't even look at it, so he directly lifted the teapot on the iron stove next to him, and then threw the letter into the burning red stove.

"Will Sangkun be in the hands of Hot Gongji now? Hot Gongji writes every day to urge you to have an interview with you, but he doesn't say anything, will it have anything to do with Sangkun? After Yu Yunwen put down the teapot, he looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"Do you want to curry favor with Sangkun?" Ye Qing thought for a moment and said: "Although Hot Gongji knows about my relationship with Sang Kun and Temujin, when I was trapped in Guanshan, the Xia people and the Jin people participated in the battle of Guanshan to encircle and suppress me. So the courtesies are still exchanged, where did the hot Gongji get the courage to think that I will definitely help Sangkun? ”

It is no secret that Ye Qing, Temujin, and Sangkun married Jin Lan on the grassland back then, but at that time, people's attention was not on the grassland, and the Tatars were still scattered, so the beauties would care about the relationship between Ye Qing, Temujin and Sangkun.

But now, there are only two huge tribes left of the Tatars on the steppe, and depending on the situation, these two tribes will swallow the other one one sooner or later, and then unify the entire steppe, so the relationship between Ye Qing and Temujin and Sangkun can't help but become sensitive and talkable.

"Why don't you take Su Dao and the others and change Sangkun to Guanshan? If Sangkun is in the hands of Hot Gongji. Yu Yunwen pondered and then suggested.

Ye Qing sighed helplessly, wiped his face that was a little hot because of the iron furnace baking with both hands, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I can't afford the price of changing Sang Kun, I even have some doubts, Sang Kun can run from the grassland to the Xia Kingdom, it may be Temujin's idea." ”

"Why?" Yu Yunwen frowned, and King Qing and Chongguo Gong on the opposite side were still as usual, and they couldn't interject at all.

Don't look at their noble status, but in Jingzhao Mansion, their identity as the prince and the prince of Chongguo is more of a symbol, a tool to appease the people, but it is completely unable to play a role and influence on the governance of Jingzhao Mansion.

"The matter of Temujin, Sangkun, and the three of us worshipping the son is now known to almost the whole world, right? Temujin did not participate in the battle of Guanshan this time, and for my Ye Qing, it was the love of Jinlan who fulfilled his benevolence and righteousness. We are sworn brothers, so he will not follow Xia and Jin into the well. And if I change Sangkun at this time, it will be tantamount to ingratitude. It doesn't seem to have any impact for the time being, but if Temujin becomes more and more powerful in the future, then today's incident will become an excuse for Temujin to scold me, and when the time comes, it will be me who is not reasonable, and I will inevitably become an ungrateful villain, and ...... the target of the world's condemnation. Ye Qing said with some melancholy.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't Temujin's defeat of Sangkun also be ...... by the world." King Qing asked with some puzzlement.

"That's different, it's the so-called champion and prince and loser Kou, not to mention that Temujin was on the grassland in his early years, but he saved Sangkun's father and son several times in a row, and Sangkun was narrow-minded, and he always looked down on Temujin, and his reputation and influence on the grassland were not as popular as Temujin, so Temujin eliminated Sangkun, which would only make people think that Sangkun was to blame, and Temujin's reputation would not be damaged at all, and he would even scold Sankun for his treachery." Ye Qing explained to King Qing with a smile.

"So you've been ignoring the stubble of Hot Gongji, just because you're afraid that Temujin will be in the middle of it?" Yu Yunwen asked in disbelief.

Ye Qing smiled: "How can I be so godly, if it weren't for Dong Chao saying that Yan Jing had a strange move, leaving Yanjing City, and Wuzhou and other places without any signs of war, I never thought that when I was trapped in Guanshan, Temujin was quietly killing Sangkun on the grassland." It's just that just now, after you reminded me, so these things are connected. ”

"Wanyan Jing is out of Yanjing?" Zhao Shichun finally interjected.

Ye Qing nodded, and answered Zhao Shichun's words, and then continued to say to Yu Yunwen: "The people sent to help Temujin find Heishi, you can send some more, since Temujin wants to wait for work, then we will carry out the charcoal in the snow to the end." ”

Temujin and Zamuhe did not move on the grassland, let alone start a war against Jin, and Wan Yanjing actually ran out of Yanjing at this time, so what was his purpose?

Are you planning to drive the expedition in person? So if so, will he choose to attack Jinan Mansion or Jingzhao Mansion?

"Won't that be bad for us?" Yu Yunwen asked with some concern.

"No way, I have to let Temujin know that I am standing with him in the matter of Sangkun, and I will never save Sangkun from the Xia people. In the same way, since Zamuhe and he didn't want to attack the Jin people this winter, maybe it was because he and Zamuhe didn't worry about each other at this time, or maybe they were able to survive this winter on their own without relying on the strength of outsiders. But no matter what, if Temujin and Zamuhe don't make any changes to the Jin Kingdom, it means that there will probably be movement on our side. Therefore, sending charcoal to Temujin in the snow is not only to send goodwill to Temujin, but also to let the Jin people see that we have a very good relationship with Temujin, and once the Jin people want to fight with us, we must also guard against Temujin sneaking up on them from behind. Ye Qing said solemnly: "And if Sang Kun has always been in the hands of the Xia people, but it is like a hot potato, and then it is not, and no one wants it when it is sent out, and sooner or later it may be because of Sang Kun that Temujin will take revenge under this pretext, so Sang Kun is definitely a hot potato, and it must not be touched at this time." Hot Gongji obviously took this into account, so he was so anxious. At the end, Ye Qing's face had a look of schadenfreude.

As long as Sang Kun is in the hands of Hot Gongji, then he is still the brother of Temujin and his Ye Qing, if Hot Gongji dares to kill Sang Kun and wants to calm things down, then Ye Qing and Temujin can shout the slogan of revenge for their brother and fight to the death with Xia Ren.

And if Sangkun is kept all the time, Sankun himself is restless and definitely a scourge, and in addition, it will also annoy Temujin, because the Xia people took in his enemies of Temujin, so sooner or later Temujin will still use other slogans to retaliate against the Xia people.

Today's Hot Gongji, since taking in Sang Kun, has taken the initiative to put himself in the situation of Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, so no matter how he deals with Sang Kun, he will leave people with an excuse to take the opportunity to retaliate.

"Unite the Tatars against the Jin, my lord, this is something you have been unwilling to ......." Yu Yunwen also frowned, Ye Qing's biggest objection was to fight against the Jin people with Temujin, but what he was doing right now was something he was extremely opposed to.

"This time and that time, now I can't take care of so much for the time being. I'll tell Bai Chun in a while, and ask her to send more people to continue to investigate Yan Jing's whereabouts, and only by figuring out his whereabouts will we know what they're planning. Ye Qing said in a deep voice.

Now he really has no choice, so he has to make this decision, if the Beidi Wulu is in this period when the relationship with the Song Dynasty has not been completely straightened out, he will have to face the full force of the Jin people, and in the end, even if he can hold all the territory, I am afraid that the weak family of the Beidi Wulu will be beaten and there will be no one left, and then he will become a fish and meat to be slaughtered.

He wants to take back the three roads of the Hetao, but more often he wants to take advantage of the tension between the Jin and the Tatars and the possible war, and take back the three roads of the Hetao when the Jin people cannot cover everything, but if he wants to have a national battle with the Jin people, Ye Qing will do so unless his brain hits the city wall and he is stupid.

Yu Yunwen nodded silently, he was in response to Ye Qing's order, he believed that with Ye Qing's vision, he would never do that kind of thing to raise tigers, after all, in the final analysis, Ye Qing's ultimate goal was to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as the ultimate goal.

"What happened to Chongguo Gong over there in Yangzhou?" Ye Qing looked at Yu Yunwen and nodded, then asked Zhao Shichun with a smile.

"As soon as the snow stopped, I sent someone back to Yangzhou, these days I also went around outside the city, there are many places suitable for burning cement, after the first day, there will be a large number of skilled craftsmen to come, of course, when the time comes, you have to let Lord Xin do a favor, recruit more homeless homeless people, after all, the number you want is too large, you have to have more craftsmen." Zhao Shichun said confidently.

He can now be said to be an expert in this area, although the porcelain kiln has not given up, and the profits of cement are beyond his imagination, and more importantly, Ye Qing has not supported another cement king until now, and has given him the opportunity to monopolize without reservation, so under Ye Qing's invitation, of course he will also want to make enough money.

"Then thank you Chongguogong." Ye Qing smiled politely and thanked him.

And King Qing, who had been silent next to him, felt like a waste man at this time, in this Chang'an City, which was like a waste waiting to be rebuilt, it seemed that there was no help and no use at all, as if he was really raised by Ye Qing, which made him very unaccustomed to this situation of idleness.

"Lord Ye, what can this king do for you? Oh no, what is it for the imperial court? Zhao Kai was in a hurry, and almost said his true feelings in his heart.

Now although Ye Qing is nominally controlled by the Song court, rebuilding Chang'an City, repairing and strengthening the Guanshan Fortress, it seems that they are all doing it for the imperial court, but in fact? Who can not see that the five roads in the north headed by Jingzhao Mansion today are all based on Ye Qing's will, where is the weight and influence of the imperial court?

If the imperial court said that it wanted to appoint an official in Jingzhao Mansion today, as long as Ye Qing did not nod, the imperial court would not even have the courage to send officials to Jingzhao Mansion, and even the current Huainan East Road, the imperial court did not have Ye Qing's influence and weight in Yangzhou, let alone the Beidi Fifth Road, which was far away from the imperial court.

"If King Qing can withstand this cold weather, you might as well go around this Chang'an City and let the people know that King Qing of my Great Song Dynasty is a virtuous king who is dedicated to the people, so you can also accumulate some reputation as a sage for King Qing, right?" Ye Qing said with a smile, but it made people feel a treacherous question.

Yu Yunwen couldn't help laughing at first, then looked at Ye Qing's dissatisfied eyes, and said to Zhao Shichun: "Did Chongguo Gong see it?" Leaf locust: This is planning to cross the entire Chang'an City again. First, the Liu brothers nodded to the water, and then Mrs. Ye knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and now it is the turn of the real heavyweight King Qing to come out and completely settle and collect the famous families in Chang'an City. It's just...... I don't know how much silver those famous families have to get this time to be able to live a stable and down-to-earth auspicious ....... ”

Before Yu Yunwen finished speaking, he was kicked down by Ye Qing and knocked down the chair, but Yu Yunwen was obviously on guard, and at the moment when Ye Qing got up, he quickly got up from the chair and hid to Zhao Shichun's side.

"See, I'm angry." Yu Yunwen continued to smile lightly.

"No nonsense, no silver, you, the pacification envoy of Jingzhao Mansion, are still doing a fart." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"You also know that I am a pacification envoy sent by the imperial court, the Duke of Yongguo, and I don't respect me at all as a ...... of Jingzhao Mansion." Yu Yunwen continued to say with a smile.

And Ye Qing snorted coldly: "I am the envoy of the Northern Land Five Roads Jiedu sent by the imperial court, and I am the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion appointed by myself, so I am older than you, and you still have to listen to me." ”

Yu Yunwen nodded suddenly in understanding, and Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, and Zhao Shichun, the prince of Chongguo, only then understood that Yu Yunwen's ridicule was actually telling them about the status of Ye Qing in the fifth road of the north.

When there was still half a month before the first day, it was difficult to see the residual snow in the entire Jingzhao Mansion, and even if there were some, it was the size of cotton flowers at this time, lying quietly in the shade, waiting for the temperature to rise and let them finally melt.

King Qing has finally found his value in Chang'an City since Ye Qing gave him a dispatch that day, and what makes him feel even more accomplished is that with the exposure of his identity as King Qing, his reputation in Chang'an City has begun to become louder and louder, and in just a few days, it has faintly overshadowed Ye Qing's momentum.

Similarly, Zhao Shichun, the prince of Chongguo, a royal clan, has also been stained with a lot of light, so that now in Chang'an City, his reputation is also rising.

Naturally, because they appeared in Chang'an City, the people finally really felt the joy and excitement of returning to the Song Dynasty, but the famous families still wanted to cry without tears, and they didn't know when this kind of oppressed day would end.

The four of them appeared again in the room where they were drinking tea in the Chang'an Government Office, the radiant King Qing, the rather festive Chongguo Gong, the frowning Yu Yunwen, and the indifferent Ye Qing watched the three of them rush in.

Then, without waiting for the three of them to sit down, he said: "Wanyan Jing's whereabouts have been ascertained, not to Jinan Mansion, nor to Luoyang or Kaifeng, but to Jingzhao Mansion." Today has entered the third road of Hetao, and it is estimated that in a few days, it will be to Jingzhao Mansion. This is the news given by the umbrella three days ago, and this is the news sent by the Jin people of Xiqin Road today, Wan Yanjing wants to come to Jingzhao Mansion to meet with us. What do you think? ”
