1009 The opponent's opponent and the opponent
In addition to the need for rapid disposal of local government affairs, what is imminent is naturally a military matter. Ye Qing needs to make some arrangements for the current Xiajing and Hetao 3rd Road in the shortest time.
Whether it is the Xingqing Prefecture where Li Heng is guarding, or the Xiping Prefecture where Mo Xiaobao and others are located, including the reconstruction of Muma Town, a military city in the third route of Hetao, it has become the first line of defense to resist the Mongols. The defense of the Jin people in Jinan Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, Luoyang and other places requires Ye Qing to readjust after the war.
Obviously, the deployment of the war is not equivalent to the post-war defense deployment. If Li Heng, Mo Xiaobao and others are placed in the Xia realm to resist the Mongols, it would be a bit too wasteful for Ye Qing, who had lacked good generals.
But no matter what, Ye Qing, who started from Hetao 3rd Road to Jingzhao Prefecture, did not lose his gains. Liu Minxing's method was a good idea, but there were many dangers in it, and he still needed to deal with it carefully, and even make some more practical adjustments during the process.
When Ye Qing entered the territory of Jingzhao Prefecture, Shi Miyuan also rushed from Jinan Prefecture to Jingzhao Prefecture. At the same time, Li An, who was secretly named Xingqing Hou by Ye Qing, and Su Dao, also arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture before the New Year.
For Li An, the past six months was like a dream. He never even expected that the turning point in the past six months would be so big that the internal strife between him and Li Chunyou would lead to the demise of Xia Kingdom.
Originally, he was the Prince of Zhenyi, but he wanted to go further in Xia Kingdom and regain the throne that should belong to him. However, the internal strife finally forced him to kill Li Chunyou and then choose to be the emperor of Xia Kingdom.
The throne was obtained in just a few days, which allowed Li An to experience the more cruel world of ice and fire. As the new king of Xia Kingdom, he destroyed the entire Xia Kingdom in less than a month, thus making him the king of the deceased king of Xia Kingdom.
Starting from Xingqing Prefecture, looking at the figures of Song soldiers everywhere along the way, Li An was still unbelievable. Xia Kingdom suddenly died in his hands.
He really did not expect that Ye Qing's wolf ambition would be so deep that he would revenge their Xia Kingdom in such a way because of the Guanshan battle. Such a revenge on the slightest revenge was not the method that the gentle Song people should have.
As Shi Miyuan, Li An and others arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, plus Han Tuozhou, Yelu Yue, who had arrived before the two, and Zhao Shikui, the royal family, suddenly made Chang'an City become noble, as if even the city gates that were being repaired and expanded had a bit of majestic momentum.
Chang'an City is still as usual, but as Lu Yanlun's apprentice Xiao Zhen began to rebuild Chang'an City, the entire Chang'an City, in addition to being dilapidated, also felt a sense of reappearing the glory of the past.
The taller, spacious and majestic city gates, with a rough and bold style, the thickening and height of the city walls are also greater than that of the Chang'an City at that time. In the eyes of some people, the Chang'an City is now comparable to the magnificent Chang'an in the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties in the future.
On December 15, 2018, the fourth year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing led the Huahua family army to finally see Chang'an City. The gate of Chang'an City, which is still a little simple, has obviously undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when he first came to Chang'an. However, due to the renovation and expansion, it took only a few months. In addition to the obstacles of the war, the Chang'an City today, except for a few gates and the walls on both sides, the rest of the places still look like they were.
Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, King Qing Zhao Kai, Zhao Shichun, Zhao Shikui, Liu Keshi, Li An and others all went out of the city to welcome Ye Qing's return to triumphantly.
Although the initiative to negotiate peace with the Jin people again made Liu Keshi and others who welcomed Ye Qing this time feel a little regretful, the demise of Xia State is still a big thing that excites people in the entire northern region and Chang'an City.
Therefore, the ceremony to welcome Ye Qing's return was also very lively at the gate of Chang'an City. No one was willing to mention the matter of discussing peace with the Jin people at this time, which also made Li An and Su Dao, amid the congratulations of everyone on Ye Qing's capture of half of the Xia Kingdom, their faces became increasingly gray and embarrassed, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
But now the country no longer exists, and their life and death are completely up to Ye Qing's expression. So at this time, even if there is much anger in his heart, when facing Ye Qing who is walking in front of him, they have to congratulate Ye Qing with a smile like Liu Keshi and others, and even look more sincere than others in their expressions.
Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan are now old foxes in the officialdom. Naturally, they would not touch Ye Qing's unhappiness at this time. They also exchanged some scenes with Ye Qing. Naturally, their words will not represent the court from beginning to end, but only represent them personally.
At the evening celebration banquet, whether it was Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, Li An and Su Dao, who were killed, all showed great enthusiasm and excitement. The wine was poured into their mouths like they didn't have money. The cheerful and bold laughter made the entire government office full of joy and ease with the coming of the New Year.
The banquet lasted until late at night, until Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan smiled and shook his head without changing his expression, and began to say that he could not bear the power of alcohol. Li An and Su Dao were already drunk and their legs were weak and lying on the ground was the real end.
Looking at Li An and Su Dao who were drunk, no one would believe that they were smiling bitterly for Ye Qing. Obviously, the pain of Xia's demise was fermenting in their hearts at this moment, making them face the prosperous times of Chang'an City, and they couldn't help but feel sad.
"Shi also brought a lot of good tea from Lin'an. Lord Ye might as well drink a few cups of quenching wine before returning home?" Shi Miyuan's belly was like a pregnant woman, at least a circle bigger than before.
Han Tuozhou was still as good as before, with no flesh on his face, deep eyes, high nose bridge, and serious face. When he went there, he gave people a feeling of being arrogant without anger, which made Li An and others rarely ran to him to toast him during the entire banquet.
"Mr. Ye doesn't have the heart to drink tea at this moment, I'm afraid I've been flying back to the wife of the mansion." Han Tuozhou looked a little provocative, and he said lightly at Ye Qing.
At this time, Ye Qing was much thinner than Ye Qing when she was in Lin'an. Her thin cheeks were not as good as Han Tuozhou's cheeks, which also made her cheekbones protruding. Her eye sockets also seemed a little deep in it because her cheeks were too thin.
The gray hair is still the same, but now I have already gotten used to it, so no matter Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, or others, it is no longer surprising that Ye Qing, who is young, has frosty hair on her temples.
Ye Qing's rough hands were covered with traces of wind and frost. The wide finger joints seemed to be covered with bones, and there was not a few taels of meat. They were placed on the table and shook casually, with a calm smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Can you be a worm in Ye's belly? But, on the front line, the Yellow River water is almost vomiting, and making tea in the well water to cultivate one's body and character. I have dreamed of it for more than half a year. Lord Shi, if Ye finds that your tea leaves are inferior, then don't blame Ye for not giving face."
"Look at your little man, isn't Shi a petty person?" Shi Miyuan glanced at Han Tuozhou indifferently and said with some meaning: "Shi is not like someone. After he is in a high position, he becomes more petty and stingy. With his tea leaves, even in Lin'an, he is probably too lazy to even take a look at the peddlers."
"Han has been loyal to the court for many years and is dedicated to his duties. He is not like you, Lord Shi. Today, officials give gifts for promotion, and tomorrow, various prefectures come to Lin'an for banquets. Otherwise, how could he be so full of energy?" Han Tuozhou responded to Shi Miyuan's intention without showing any weakness.
Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, and Han Tuozhou never changed places to drink tea. The royal family members on the other table, King Qing Zhao Kai, Duke Chong Guo Zhao Shichun, and Duke Rong Guo Zhao Shikui, could only sit at the other table dryly, waiting quietly for the three powerful ministers in the court to fight openly and secretly at the wine table, ridicule each other.
Moreover, not only the three members of the royal family need to act according to Ye Qing and the other two, but also officials from Chang'an City, including Ye Heng and others, had to accompany King Qing and others to act according to Ye Qing's expression.
As Master Liu Ke lowered his head and whispered the tea room, the heating stove and other things, Ye Qingcai, as the master, grew up, looked at Ye Heng and other northern officials, then looked at King Qing and others, and then said lightly: "You all go down."
Although there was nothing unusual in the ears of other officials, when they floated into the ears of King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chong Guo Zhao Shichun, the two of them were involuntarily thrusting their hearts at the same time. Duke Rong Guo Zhao Shikui instantly became a little uneasy.
Whether it was King Qing, Duke Chong, or Duke Rong, who had just arrived, he felt guilty at this time, especially Duke Rong Zhao Shikui. He didn't really want to come to Jingzhao Mansion this time, but because the Supreme Emperor personally summoned him to Gushan for advice, he had to bite the bullet and come to Jingzhao Mansion, which made him frightened.
Whether it was King Qing or Duke Chong, although Zhao Shikui had never done anything to be sorry to Ye Qing after he arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, and he did not give up the benefits of the northern region at all, they felt a little nervous after seeing Ye Qing who had just returned from triumphant today.
After everyone left, Han Tuozhou still sneered and said, "Mr. Ye is really powerful. It seems that this northern part...even the royal family has to act according to Lord Ye's expression."
"Ye didn't see you respect King Qing at all. If King Qing hadn't come to drink in person just now, I'm afraid you, Han Tuozhou, would have disdained to surrender your status as the left prime minister of the dynasty and have a drink with King Qing, Duke Chong and Duke Rong?" Ye Qing fought back without looking back.
Shi Miyuan was determined to join such a "war group". He immediately stood up with his big belly and laughed as he walked: "Lord Zuo Xiang is now powerful. Not to mention the royal family, I am afraid that the emperor will be taken seriously by him. The three members of the royal family all drank all the toasts, but when facing the three members of the royal family, he couldn't finish a single cup. It can be seen...Lord Zuo Xiang is so arrogant now."
"Compared to your Shi Miyuan, you can only make money from home. Now that the money in your family is piled up like a mountain, Han dare not be a powerful saying. Lord Shi, I am afraid that your family's silver will be more than the money from the Ministry of Revenue in the Song Dynasty, right? Or is the Ministry of Revenue the Ministry of Revenue in your Shi family's silver storage place?" Han Tuozhou said sarcastically again.
In the tea room, the three of them were still sitting in the same place as the host. No matter what, in the north, Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan would not dare to be too arrogant in Chang'an City even if they were dissatisfied with Ye Qing. After all, the north is still firmly controlled by Ye Qing alone. It would be extremely difficult for them to reach in, otherwise they would not have run to Jingzhao Mansion in person.
"No matter how much money it costs, it is worthless than the millions of troops under Lord Ye's command? So Lord Han, don't look at you as the position of left prime minister in the court that everyone respects, but if you really have more power to determine who has more power, I will say bluntly that you, Han Tuozhou, cannot be compared with Ye Qing." Shi Miyuan began to lead the war to Ye Qing again.
Ye Qing lowered his head to make tea, waved his hand to signal Mr. Liu Ke to go down first, and he would make tea by himself.
"I only have one thought now, just thinking..." Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan, and Han Tuozhou and his two eyes turned from left to right to him, and said with a grim smile: "If the court confiscated your Shi Miyuan's home, will the national treasury silver be increased several times immediately? As for Han Tuozhou, if he was confiscated, even if he could not collect so much silver, there would probably be too few beauties of all kinds, right? Although he has lived in the north for a long time, there are so many merchants coming and going. Even if Ye doesn't want to hear it, he keeps drilling into his ears. It is said that... Commission Tower and other prefectures in Lin'an, Jiankang, Chengdu Prefecture and other roads will give Han's beautiful women every year. I wonder if it is true?"
"So what? Compared to your Ye Qing snatching Princess Xin Zhong Qing, Han's actions are open and upright." Han Tuozhou snorted coldly, snatched the teacup that Ye Qing was about to hand over and put it in front of him.
Shi Miyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Qing quietly. After Han Tuozhou finished speaking, he said slowly: "I didn't expect that Lord Ye has left Lin'an for so long, but he is still very familiar with Lin'an's affairs. The Imperial City is worthy of being rebuilt by you, Ye Qing. Shi admires it. But if the court copied Lord Ye's mansion, it would probably be that he could only get gold and silver, but also as simple as a beauty. Lord Ye, can the crime of treason and treason be understood?"
"It is said that after I left Lin'an, the memorial of the censor impeaching me, Ye Qing, to support troops in the north, has never stopped since the first day. Shi Miyuan, Ye has been thinking about the shame of Jingkang for so many years, and his loyalty to the court can be seen. However, you, from time to time, try to please Wanyan Jing and the officials of the Jin Kingdom. Why? When it comes to treason, Ye is ashamed of himself before you Shi Miyuan." Ye Qing also fought back with a slight smile.
"If you want to avenge Jingkang's shame? It's a joke!" Han Tuozhou snorted coldly, took a teacup and took a sip, a little surprised by the taste of the tea brought by Shi Miyuan, and then said quietly: "Ye Qing, if you are determined to avenge the shame of the two saints, then you should not have proposed peace with the Jin people in Yanzhou, but should have fought to the end. Even if you die in the battlefield in the end, this is a act of loyalty to the court. And you were defeated without fighting because Wanyan Jing personally led the army and took the initiative to seek peace. Han would never turn a blind eye to such a coward."
It was just a cup of tea time, and the words of the three of them were even sharper than those of the Ming Dao and Ming Gun, and several times more sinister. Whether it was Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, or Han Tuozhou, it seemed that they were just talking about something catching up on the wind or shadows, or just clicking it gently, but the three of them knew in their hearts that no matter who they were, they had their shortcomings and handles in their hands.
And if anyone wants to put the other party in a decisive way at this time, it will inevitably bring the same blow and revenge. Naturally, there will be another person who is eyeing him and waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The verbal confrontation made the three of them gradually understand that it seems that no one who wants to kill anyone at the moment is completely sure, and it may even attract joint attacks from the other two, just like their verbal attacks on each other, when criticizing the other, they will always bring a third person to the verbal battle group.
This is enough to show that at this time the three of them were all afraid of their opponents and their opponents, and their strong enemies and their strong enemies.
