Chapter Seventy-Three: Tearing Up the Covenant, the Western Xia Liao State Sent Troops Together (1)
The internal political situation of the dynasty has just stabilized, and several major events have occurred with its neighbors.
Western Xia became self-reliant, Song-Xia relations broke down, the Xia army broke through the border, and defeated the Song army at Haoshuichuan, Zhao Zhen knew that he planned to send Di Qing to suppress it.
When the Liao State heard that it also wanted a piece of the pie, Xiao Yunjin, the Empress Dowager of Fatian, immediately sent her brother Xiao Xiaoxian as the commander and led an army of 200,000 to break through the defense line of the Great Wall and attack Ying and Mo Erzhou.
The three countries, which had coexisted peacefully, tore off the mask of friendship, and the situation suddenly became urgent and complicated.
Ye Pei didn't know these things at all in the county lord's mansion, she was drunk every day in the mansion, drunk and dreamed of death, and no matter how Lin Bihan persuaded her, she didn't listen.
On this day, Xia Qinyuan, who had already married Mrs. Song Qi, returned to the county lord's mansion and saw that Ye Pei was sleeping during the day, so he frowned and asked Lin Bihan: "Sister Lin, what's wrong with the county lord?" ”
Lin Bihan frowned, "Alas, since the county lord came out of the mansion, there has not been a happy day. ”
Xia Qinyuan said: "I have also heard about the affairs in the palace for a long time, and I didn't expect such a big blow to the county lord." ”
The two of them talked around Ye Pei for a long time, and Ye Pei suddenly vomited because of a hangover, making a mess all over the ground and a foul smell.
Xia Qinyuan didn't say a word, rolled up his wide sleeves, and wiped Ye Pei regardless of the dirty smell.
Lin Bihan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Song, put it down quickly, let the slave maid clean it up!" ”
Xia Qinyuan said: "I just married earlier than my sister, but I will always be the slave of the county lord, how can my sister stop me?" ”
Ye Pei woke up leisurely, and when he saw Xia Qinyuan serving by his side, he was stunned and said, "Why is Mrs. Song here?" ”
Lin Bihan said angrily: "Mrs. Song has been here for more than an hour, and she didn't dare to disturb when she saw the county lord asleep. You just got a hangover and vomited all over someone, and she's still serving you! ”
Xia Qinyuan frowned and looked at Lin Bihan, "Why do you talk to the county lord like this!" ”
Lin Bihan's stubborn temper came up, and he said while cleaning up the dirt on the ground: "Then what should I say?" Do you think she still has a little bit of royal etiquette now? So saying, he took the copper basin and went out of the house to pour water.
"Bihan!" Xia Qinyuan shook his head helplessly.
Ye Pei also squeezed out a smile, "Don't blame her, she has always had such a temper." ”
Seeing that Ye Pei was about to sit up, Xia Qinyuan hurriedly went up to help.
Ye Pei said: "I'm really embarrassed to get Mrs. Song up, you go to the back and change into clean clothes, just change into mine." ”
Xia Qinyuan said: "The county lord called me Mrs. Song really to see me, how can I say that I am also a person who went out of the county lord's mansion." ”
Ye Pei smiled, "Okay, Qin Yuan, can I call you like that?" Let's go change your clothes. ”
"I'll serve the county lord first and change into clean clothes." Saying that, Xia Qinyuan served Ye Pei to change his clothes, and he also went inside to change into Ye Pei's clothes.
When she came out, Ye Pei had already walked out of the bedroom, came to the living room, lit a small red clay stove and prepared to order tea to entertain Xia Qinyuan.
Seeing Xia Qinyuan come out, he signaled

She sat beside her, "Qinyuan, come, sit, taste the tea I just ordered." ”
Xia Qinyuan was no longer as timid as she was when she was a maidservant in the palace before, she was quite knowledgeable and sat on Ye Pei's next seat generously, picked up the teacup and smelled it, nodded and said, "Well, the county lord's tea is so fragrant!" ”
"This is the new dragon and phoenix group tea in the palace this year, come, taste it."
Xia Qinyuan tasted it, his teeth were full of fragrance, and he smiled and nodded, "It's really different from folk tea." ”
"How is Xiao Song treating you?" Ye Pei ordered tea and asked while busy with the work in his hands.
Xia Qinyuan held the teacup in his hand and said, "He is very good to me." I'm three months pregnant now. ”
Ye Pei looked at Xia Qinyuan in surprise, "This is really a good thing!" Oh, you just served me, really. Don't drink this tea, the yin qi is too heavy, come on, I'll change some light spring tea for you. ”
After Ye Pei started to be busy, Xia Qinyuan said embarrassedly: "County Lord, don't be busy, I'm fine." ”
Ye Pei instructed the maid to change the new tea, and ordered someone to bring a cushion for Xia Qinyuan to sit on.
"Don't be busy, county lord."
Ye Pei said excitedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's been a long time and nothing good, I'm very happy to hear it today." Ye Pei asked with concern: "Do you react too much?" ”
Xia Qinyuan replied: "It's okay, sometimes nauseous, I didn't vomit much." ”
"The doll in the belly really knows that she feels sorry for her mother, and she must be a good child. Miao Jinhe was also pregnant with a child, she vomited so much, and I went to the palace to see her several times. ”
"Sister Miao is pregnant with a dragon heir? That's a great thing. Xia Qinyuan suddenly realized that saying this would cause Ye Pei's discomfort, so he quickly stopped talking.
Ye Pei didn't care at all, and still said enthusiastically: "Well, I hope she gives birth to a prince, and the official family also has expectations." ”
Ye Pei saw that Xia Qinyuan didn't speak, so he asked, "Are you used to living in the Song Mansion?" Are your in-laws all in your house? ”
Xia Qinyuan said: "My in-laws live in my brother's house, and we are a few of us, but we are also at ease." Recently, Song Qi has been very busy, and I heard that the Xia State and the Liao State used troops against our Great Song Dynasty at the same time, and the court and China discussed the matter every day. ”
"What? Did the Xia State and the Liao State use troops against our Great Song Dynasty at the same time? Didn't our three countries always live in peace before? Ye Pei was a little surprised.
"Yes! I don't know about those men, but I heard Xuanlang say that the two countries work together, and there are as many as 500,000 soldiers, although our Great Song Dynasty is rich, there are few famous generals, if no one is willing to lead troops to the battle, the official family plans to retreat to the Yangtze River and move the capital to Luoyang. ”
Ye Pei was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair, she slapped the table and shouted, "Who dares to persuade the official family to move the capital?" Do you want to be a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Xia Qinyuan was startled, and she called softly: "County Lord! ”
Ye Pei realized how excited he was. Ye Pei grabbed Xia Qinyuan and asked, "Do you know when this happened?" ”
Xia Qinyuan said: "I don't know the specifics, only."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
knew that the envoy Di was ready to leave for Yanzhou. The specific policy for Liao should have been decided in the next two days. ”
Ye Pei stood up and paced back and forth in the room, frowning and thinking. Xia Qinyuan saw Ye Pei's demeanor and didn't dare to disturb, so he said, "County Lord, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to visit you another day." ”
Ye Pei pulled Xia Qinyuan and said, "Good sister, I should go to the house to visit you if you are pregnant." ”
Xia Qinyuan said with a smile: "The county lord's chest is filled with the major affairs of the country, I will take care of my own, don't worry!" ”
"That's good!"
sent Xia Qinyuan away, but Ye Pei couldn't sit still.
Moving the capital? Sue for peace?
Although the sixth brother is mild-tempered, he should not be a cowardly person, what is the situation in the imperial court now, who dares to persuade the official family to surrender? Is Fan Xianggong no longer in charge? He shouldn't be an incompetent and timid person!
But after thinking about it, what do these things have to do with me Ye Pei? Aren't all those courtiers invincible, all loyal and courageous? What am I going to mix with a little woman they despise? When the time comes, I will be impeached and said that I am interfering in politics, so why bother?
But after thinking about it, if he sits idly by and ignores it, and when he really moves the capital to Luoyang, he will lose a lot of land in vain, even if he has been in Gou for a few years, he will still lose his power and humiliate the country when the Liao State fights, and the sixth brother may become the king of the country. Seeing the people suffering, the country suffering, how can I bear it in my heart?
Ye Pei thought about it again and again, but he couldn't even swallow dinner, and he couldn't sleep even when he was holding the lamp.
Lin Bihan came to turn off the lights, and Ye Pei suddenly asked, "What day is today?" ”
Lin Bihan was stunned for a moment, walked to the table and took out the yellow calendar to take a look, "Ah, tomorrow is the first day of the sixth month!" ”
"Tomorrow there will be a big day meeting!" Ye Pei jumped up from the bed, "Bihan, I want to enter the palace!" ”
"What?!" This time it was Lin Bihan's turn to be surprised. "County Lord, it's already time!"
Ye Pei changed into a narrow-sleeved men's robe, and said: "I want to secretly enter the palace to ask the official's family, if I really want to move the capital, it will be too late to say anything after tomorrow's court meeting." ”
"But the palace gate is locked."
Ye Pei smiled contemptuously, "When will the palace gate stop me?" As he spoke, he walked out of the house.
Lin Bihan thought to herself: Seeing the county lord getting drunk every day, she was bored, and she immediately changed back to her original appearance when she really encountered something. She is still the heroine who cherishes the country and the world!
Ye Pei changed into a neat suit and sneaked into the palace late at night. She first came to Qifeng Pavilion and informed Miao Jinhe.
Miao Jinhe was pregnant and sleepy, and she had already laid down, and when she heard that Ye Pei was coming, she came to see Ye Pei with a big belly.
"Why did the county lord enter the palace late at night?" Miao Jinhe didn't ask, and he knew that something big must have happened.
Ye Pei asked, "Can the official family be in your pavilion?" ”
"These days, the official family is busy every day until after the fourth watch before resting, and at this time, he must still be dealing with political affairs in the Qinzheng Palace."
Ye Pei didn't say much, and went straight to the Qinzheng Palace.
