Song Jue looked at Wan Yanxi who fell down in front of him, sighed softly, and motioned to Song Qiyun to help him up.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, ...... you" Wan Yanxi looked at Song Jue blankly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't be nervous, we will definitely help with this favor, but how to help, we still need to discuss with Grandpa Guo and the general." Song Jue looked at Wan Yanxi with a smile, "However, before that, in order to have a deeper understanding of Wan Yanping, it is better to let the general and Qiyun talk about Yan Ping's two or three things, which can be regarded as having an in-depth understanding of her and familiarizing yourself with her style, how about it?" ”

"Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement, and the foreign ministers have no objections."

"Good." Song Jue raised his eyebrows at Song Qiyun, "Qiyun, come first, the forgotten points will be supplemented by the general." ”

"Yes!" Song Qiyun took two sips of tea, moistened his throat, looked at Wan Yan Xi, who was sitting on the opposite side, and chuckled, "Don't be so nervous, Wan Yan Gongzi, we are not friends, just treat it as a small talk between friends." Seeing that the other party relaxed slightly, he exchanged a look with Shen Cha and said, "It's too early, I don't know very well, I'll start talking about it three years ago." At that time, it was the first time I faced Yan Ping on the battlefield. ”

"How's that impression?" Wan Yanxi blinked, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Pretty?" Song Qiyun touched his chin, "I didn't pay attention to it, I just felt that this person was not very easy to figure out, and I couldn't see what was going on in her head." In my opinion, this person is very scheming and delicate, and when he doesn't notice it, he has quietly laid a trap. When he was elated and ready to celebrate his victory, he never imagined that he had fallen into her trap and did not know it. ”

"Is it because I was fooled?" Song Jue tilted his head to look at his younger brother, "The ending is tragic?" ”

"It's tragic." Shen Cha glanced at Song Qiyun, who was a little ashamed, and a wicked smile flashed on his face, "If it weren't for Brother Xiaotian who stayed behind and waited for the opportunity to rescue him, I'm afraid my brother and I would have to come to apologize to Your Majesty." But that was the first time he faced Yan Ping, and it was inevitable that there would be negligence, even if it was my brother, me or Brother Xiaotian, I couldn't find out her thoughts again and again, it could only be constant temptation. ”

"Is Wan Yanping so good at using soldiers?" Song Jue had heard Shen Haolin and Shen Cha say that Yan Ping was very good at using soldiers, and felt that he might be on par with these two people, but he didn't expect them to be so jealous.

"It's not great, there are a lot of tricks, and her layout has been unexpected a few times, if it were us, we wouldn't do that. Later, we summed it up, and she ...... "Shen Cha spread her hands," and used all the intrigue tricks in the court to fight, we are not very good at this, and we don't think about it, so it is easier to be confused by her, and the first two times against her, it is indeed a lot of losses. ”

"This kind of scheming is not ordinary, usually generals don't think of this, they are not keen on this kind of fight at all." Song Jue looked at Wan Yan Xi, "This point, Wan Yan Gongzi still has to keep it in mind, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"Yes, the minister will remember." Wan Yanxi bowed slightly, he looked at Song Qiyun, and then at Shen Cha, "Actually, I want to know more, they ...... Oh, I finished talking about how Yan Zongcheng and Wan Yan Ping got to this step of betraying their relatives. Only...... Brother Wen once sent me a letter, and a few years before Wanyan Zong became king, the people were still very supportive of them. After all, the people don't know what royal power struggle is, and whoever keeps them fed and clothed will support whomever they want. But why has their reputation slipped so much during this time? Did they really do something unforgivable? ”

"In addition to what we just said, in fact, over the years, the Jin Kingdom has not been so peaceful, and the Jin merchants in Jiaping Guancheng have a deep understanding."

"Merchants of the Kingdom of Jin?" Wan Yanxi suddenly said, "Oh, I remember, there are many shops opened by Jin and Liao people on Changxing Street. ”

"Border trade is one of the most important parts of the border gates, and we are not opposed to the merchants of the Golden Kingdom doing business, as long as they do not violate our laws and do not do things that should not be done." Shen Cha nodded, "About three years ago, when Her Highness faced Yan Ping for the first time on the battlefield, the complaints of the merchants of the Jin Kingdom about her began to reach our ears. ”

"They ...... to the merchants of the Kingdom of Gold Is it harsh? Wan Yan frowned, "Brother Wen once said that the life of a businessman is not easy. ”

"It's not very easy, we also learned some things, Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping divided the merchants of the Jin Kingdom into several levels, and these merchants who do business with Xia, Liao and other countries are the heaviest tax burden, followed by those big businessmen who have the support of the nobles behind them, and other small merchants are not particularly affected, but overall, the additional taxes that need to be borne are at least double than before."

Wan Yanping holds most of the military power of the Jin State in his hands, and since ancient times, raising soldiers has been a large expense. Moreover, she has no property herself, so she can only rely on this method to collect money, otherwise, she will not be able to hold the power of the army. Bai Meng sneered, "When Wanyan Zongcheng first ascended the throne as king, it seems that a lot of taxes were reduced, and the people of the Jin Kingdom were quite happy, which was also the main reason why they supported Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping." Unexpectedly, within two days of the good days, the nightmare came. ”

"Increasing taxes is one point, and another point is that since Wanyan Zongcheng became king, he didn't dare to fight against the clan and nobles, even if his daughter had a heavy army, he was not very willing to turn his face with these people, at least not openly. Therefore, whenever a child of a clan or nobleman makes a mistake, as long as the other party is an ordinary commoner, even if he has a little foundation, he will settle the matter, at best, he will persuade the clan relatives to discipline their children well, and symbolically give the bitter master a little silver as compensation. ”

"Even if it's a big crime like murder and arson?"

Wan Yanxi couldn't believe his own ears, he knew that some of the children of the clan and the nobles were more sloppy, idleness all day long, and did nothing, and it was the same when his father and brother were still there. But at that time, he was young, and no matter how much trouble he made, he couldn't make any flowers, unlike the current clan relatives and nobles, but it was really beyond his imagination.

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "Even if it is such a big crime, as long as there is a family that Wanyan Zongcheng doesn't want to turn his face behind the criminal, he can get away with it and continue to live his little life." ”

"Confused!" Wan Yanxi was so angry that her face became even more ugly, and she shrank into a ball tremblingly, "...... Now that they have been given the throne, why don't they ...... If you don't treat it well, you want to ruin it? What good will it do them to destroy the Kingdom of Jin? ”

"This benefit should be that the Wanyan clan and those big nobles began to reflect, if they hadn't supported the rebellion of Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, or hadn't stood by and watched when they rebelled, all this would not have happened. If they remain silent now, sooner or later, the doom of those civilians will befall them. Song Qiyun patted Yan Xi lightly, "So, they began to find another way." ”

"These people either sincerely support them, or they use their own small calculations in the name of support, but in the end, they are separated from Wan Yan Zongcheng and Wan Yan Ping. Moreover, in order to further attack Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, they have to deal with them in everything, just like the successive natural disasters in the Jin Kingdom in the past year, if they could have handled it properly at the beginning, the situation would not have been so serious, and the refugees would not have been as many as they are now. ”

"It's ...... Why? Wan Yanxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Is this situation man-made now?" ”

"It is said that it was Wanyan and Master Wen who took the lead in expressing their dissupport for the disaster relief, and the other clansmen and nobles followed along to lead to the current situation."

"Impossible, Brother Wen is not this kind of person!" Wan Yanxi's head shook like a rattle, "He said in the letter he wrote to me that he had already sent people to provide disaster relief and resettle the victims, and he would never lie to me!" ”
