(ps: Kawen, how Ye Qing defined in Jin Kingdom was stumped. I wrote nearly 3,000 words before, but then I deleted them all, and then I suddenly became stuck in how to define Ye Qing's position in Jin Kingdom! Sorry, I'll break for a few days, and apologize to everyone!)

Ye Qing was granted the title of King of Yan by the Lin'an court and governed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, not only did Wanyan Jing arrive in Dading Prefecture and was extremely depressed and frustrated, but also caused a thousand waves in Lin'an, causing discussions from the court and the country, and filled with various different voices.

Li Lifang was the first courtier to learn about this news. When he heard the news, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. It was not until he repeatedly confirmed with Li Fengniang that Li Li sighed helplessly that he would probably live in the shadow of Ye Qing in his life.

Since the Song Dynasty, due to the injustice of the country, the emphasis on literature and military, and the balance of various rights, the royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty has tried their best to stabilize the country, whether it is checks and balances on the rights of officials or the influence of the royal family.

The royal title cannot be inherited, and the royal family even needs to rely on seniority to be promoted to the title, which has led to a large number of people in the Zhao Song royal family becoming more and more ordinary as time goes by.

Even as the current emperor's uncle, King Qing's title cannot be inherited by his son. Even after his death, King Qing's title disappeared, and his son was just an inheritance king.

As for the ministers, there is obviously almost no possibility of being a king. The tradition of being a king without the Zhao family has been strictly followed since the establishment of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Meritorious ministers can only be posthumously named as kings after their death.

And the title of kingdom like Ye Qing was the first to be entrenched in the north and was named as the king in the Song court.

So it can be imagined that the incident of the Lin'an court's conferring King Ye Qingyan in Lin'an was no less than a major earthquake!

Shi Miyuan locked himself in the study for three days and didn't see anyone. Xie Shenfu looked up at the sky and always had the illusion that the sky had collapsed. Although Liu Zheng just sighed, he already felt that once Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, the left and right prime ministers would probably have to be selected by Ye Qing's mood.

There is a blue brick and green tiles in Dading Prefecture on Zhongjing Road. In the simple and simple house, Qian Xiangzu, who had been staying in Dading Prefecture for three days, intends to bid farewell to Ye Qing and return to Lin'an.

But now, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, that is, why Ye Qing still wanted to stay in Dading Prefecture instead of returning to his fiefdom, Yanjing.

Wanyan Jing and others returned to Dading Prefecture under the escort of Ye Qing and the army of the Zanghua family, which also caused great shock. Even though the Jin Dynasty's government and the people of the Jin Dynasty had clearly known that because of Ye Qing's rescue, Wanyan Jing was able to return to Dading Prefecture safely. However, now the Jin Dynasty's government and the people were still extremely dissatisfied with the sudden addition of eight thousand Song people in the Dading Prefecture.

However, because of Wanyan Jing's tacit approval, the ministers of the Jin Kingdom could only express their dissatisfaction with Ye Qing secretly and did not dare to mention this matter in front of Wanyan Jing.

When Wanyan Jing planned to bow to the Song court and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, almost all the ministers were furious at the first time and began to persuade Wanyan Jing that they should expel the Song people immediately.

But Ye Qing and his Huahua family army have now become the most powerful force in Dading Prefecture, which has caused the Jin ministers to oppose the surrender of the Song court, just as they were dissatisfied with Wanyan Jing's tacit approval of the Song people in Dading Prefecture, and they did not dare to raise it in public.

Fortunately, Wanyan Jing slightly appeased the ministers of the court and the people who were extremely dissatisfied with the Song people on the grounds that the Song people would help them quell the rebellion on the Wujing Road. But the question that followed was how the Song people would help them quell the rebellion.

"Why did the King of Yan help the Jin people?" Qian Xiangzu was a little puzzled. Even if he did not mention the grudge between Song and Jin, even the grudge between Ye Qing and the Jin people, it would be difficult for him to understand why Ye Qing wanted to turn enemies into friends with the Jin people: "Don't the King of Yan know? Now you can be the only king of different surnames in the Song Dynasty. If you help the Jin people quell the rebellion and spread it to Lin'an, this matter may be unfavorable to you, right?"

"Don't help the Jin people..." Ye Qing looked at Qian Xiangzu with a smile and paused: "If we don't help the Jin people, we will have to be enemies with the Mongolians and push the Jin people to the Mongolians. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that we just obtained is in danger again. So rather than helping the Jin people, it is better to help us to stabilize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun ourselves."

"Then aren't you afraid that the golden man will be backfired?" Qian Xiangzu picked up the teacup and asked. When he came to Dading Mansion, he brought Ye Qing a lot of good tea from Jiangnan.

"It's only a year or two." Ye Qing also tasted the tea brought by Qian Xiangzu, nodded in praise and continued: "The decline of the Jin Kingdom is irreversible. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Now we give the Jin people only fish, not fish. To put it bluntly, it has not helped the Jin people at all, but it is indeed of great help to us."

Ye Qing sighed slightly and continued in a hurry: "The importance of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is self-evident. If you want to fully grasp it, you must naturally establish good relations with the current Jin people, so that we can completely consolidate the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If we continue to be hostile to the Jin people, it is easy to fall into the situation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the internal and external difficulties."

After saying that, Ye Qing threw a letter to Qian Xiangzu and said, "Look at it yourself. The Mongols are still in Dexing Prefecture and have not continued to advance to Fengzhou in the east. Instead, they turn around and turn toward Wuzhou in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. So you can imagine how difficult the situation of Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures will be if the Jin people join forces with the Mongolians or if the country is destroyed by the Mongolians?"

"But...but now, King Yan of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, you are not already under the control of heavy troops..." Qian Xiangzu looked up at the news about Wuzhou and asked.

"It does not mean that we can defend it in a short time. Besides, the Song Dynasty has never been involved in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. How could the local people be in the same mind as our Song court? As long as there is a little war of killing and fighting, those people who have been ruled by the Jin people for a hundred years may still be more inclined to the Jin people in their hearts. External chaos may not be scary, but internal worries will be difficult for us to deal with." Ye Qing said calmly.

Qian Xiangzu understood a little why Ye Qing was not in Yanjing, but instead let his wife, Princess Yelu Yue, guarding Yanjing. Obviously, compared to the influence of the Jin Dynasty and Liao in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Song people here are more like an outsider than the orthodox complex of Song being the Song.

"But King Yan can guarantee that after the Jin people pacified the Five Jing Road, they would not have the idea of ​​recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun again?" Qian Xiangzu was skeptical.

"So it takes us a year and a half to stabilize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. One or two years later, once the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun adapt to the orthodox rule of the Song court, who would still care about Jinting?" Ye Qing smiled.

Compared to his more favorable conditions when he attacked the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the reasons why he deserved his help to Wanyan Jing, in addition to the fact that the Jin Dynasty was already in twilight, he only learned about the internal strife of the Wanyan royal family in Fengzhou.

In Ye Qing's opinion, King Huo and King Ying's rebellion were obviously not the first, nor the last. After all, in Wanyan Jing's guess, it was rejected a few days ago outside Fengzhou City. Wanyan Jing's guess was that King Xing Wanyan Xun, not King Huo and King Ying, so Ye Qing could conclude that King Xing Wanyan Xun, who is now in Dading Prefecture, would definitely covet Wanyan Jing's throne.

Therefore, even after the Jin Dynasty quelled the rebellion on Wujing Road, it might not be possible to completely free up time and energy. When we look back to deal with ourselves, we may have to resolve the battles within the royal family first.

Qian Xiangzu nodded thoughtfully silently, combing the various veins between Song and Jin in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he still asked: "So, King Yan, are you really planning to help the Jin people quell the rebellion?"

"Your sincerity may not be regarded as good intentions by others at any time." Ye Qing shrugged helplessly, and then continued: "What's more, I have always been back on my word. They don't really know how to listen to the advice I gave to the Jin people, but they just use it as a reference. I am very afraid that I am using some conspiracy and tricks to calculate them. So, whether the Jin people are willing to listen is their business. Whether the rebellion can be quelled in a short period of time is not something I can count on."

Qian Xiangzu smiled. Ye Qing was obviously very clear about his positioning. When facing the Jin people, Ye Qing was indeed a villain who went back on his word, but in the eyes of the Song people, it was a completely different side.

"I wonder what kind of advice did the King of Yan give to the Jin people?" Qian Xiangzu wanted to know what kind of advice did Ye Qing give to the Jin people, which actually made the Jin people hesitate.

Ye Qing looked at the letter that had been read in Qian Xiangzu's hand and said, "Don't pay attention to the Mongols in Dexing Prefecture of Xijing Lu, nor do you have to engage in more conflicts with the Khitan Liao people on Beijing Road. Retreat Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Silie on Xijing Road, and together with Jisizhong and Wanyan Chengyu on Beijing Road, attack Shangjing Road. After taking Shangjing Road, the rebellion between Beijing Road and Xijing Road will also collapse."

"The Jin Man didn't accept it?" Qian Xiangzu walked towards the map behind Ye Qing, looked at the map and asked.

As the Minister of War of the Song Dynasty, although he was not as perfect as Ye Qing when leading troops to fight, it can be seen that Ye Qing's suggestions can almost be equivalent to cutting off firewood from the bottom of a pot.

Moreover, the importance of Shangjing Road to the Jin people was self-evident. Huining Mansion on Shangjing Road was the Liudu of the Jin people after they moved the capital to Yanjing, so they took Shangjing Road. For the Jin people, there are pros and cons, both morale and strategic.

"Why didn't they adopt it? But what are their concerns?" Qian Xiangzu asked while looking at the map.

Shangjing Road, Beijing Road, and Xijing Road are arranged in sequence from north to south, and to the east of Xijing Road is Zhongjing Road where they are now. So as long as Shangjing Road is taken down, then combined with Zhongjing Road, you can form a cross-strike against Beijing Road and Xijing Road.

Moreover, once such a clamping force is formed, as long as the Jin people do not make too stupid mistakes, they will inevitably drive the Khitan Liao people and Mongols out from the Wujing Road and the grassland exit. So in this way, Ye Qing's suggestion is definitely an excellent suggestion, and it should be the quickest suggestion to quell the rebellion.

Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Qian Xiangzu's back who had been carefully looking at the map, and said calmly: "In my opinion, one thing is that the Jin people are afraid that when all their troops attack Shangjing Road, I will take the opportunity to attack Zhongjing Road, so they have been hesitating. The second is that the Jin people made a very serious mistake from the beginning, that is, they only wanted to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. At the beginning, they did not intend to solve the problem from the root, but chose to be led by the Khitan Liao people and go wherever there is a rebellion, just like treating the head and feet, instead of pointing to the source of the rebellion directly."

Ye Qing also explained to Qian Xiangzu with his back to the door of the hall, and did not notice that there were several eavesdroppers standing outside the gate at this moment.

Qian Xiangzu looked at the map and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if the Jin people could ignore the attacked Beijing Road when the Khitan Liao people just started to rebel, but instead attacked Huanglong. Whether it was to suppress Xijing Road or Shangjing Road first, it would be better than to divide the troops into two groups to suppress the rebellion. Of course, the best way is to take down Shangjing Road first and then attack on both sides, so that they would not be able to fall into such a passive situation."

"It is precisely because the Jin people were too anxious that Wanyan Jing wanted to quell the rebellion in a short period of time with the effect of his commander-in-chief, so the troops were divided into two groups to suppress it. However, the Khitan Liao people were supported by the Mongols, plus..." Ye Qing shook his head slightly, and then said

: "Now we need to be wary of whether the Goryeo people will take the opportunity to cause trouble. If the Khitan Liao people and the Goryeo people also have secret contact, it will be even worse for the Jin people."

Qian Xiangzu moved his gaze from the map to Ye Qing. The few people standing at the door made Qian Xiangzu stunned. Ye Qing also turned around and saw the Jin Dynasty Empress Li Shi'er, accompanied by Qi Shilie's Gods slaves and several palace maids, looking at him with righteousness.

Ye Qing did not get up to greet him, raised his eyebrows slightly and even looked at the angry Li Shi'er with a hint of provocation, while the Qi Shilie Gods slave next to him looked helpless.

Before Li Shi'er could speak, Ye Qing had already guessed the purpose of Li Shi'er coming here. It was obviously because he suggested that Wanyan Jing transfer Li Xiang and his son back from Beijing Road, which made Li Shi'er come here to seek punishment.

"Since you are very analyzing, it is because the Great Jin Dynasty made a mistake in using military forces, so what does this have to do with my father and brother? Why do you want to trick the emperor into transferring my father and brother back? Are you taking personal revenge?" Li Shi'er stood opposite Ye Qing, wearing the queen's clothes, looked elegant and dignified, but her aggressive tone made her dignified and elegant queen's temperament weaker.

In Ye Qing's eyes, he always felt that Li Shi'er should put her hands on her hips and then question her.

Ye Qing did not answer Li Shi'er's question, but looked at the helpless slave Qi Shilie. Obviously, Li Shi'er came here to seek punishment because Qi Shilie's slave leaked Ye Qing's suggestion.

"Ling Zun and Brother Ling are just three fools..." Ye Qing answered Li Shier's words lightly.

"You...you are arrogant!" Li Shi'er was so angry that she put her father and brother on his hips and pointed at Ye Qing's other hand.

"Don't you know in your heart? They followed Wanyan Chengyu to quell the rebellion. Is it really a purpose to quell the rebellion, and to take the opportunity to make contributions?" Ye Qing looked at Li Shi'er calmly and said, as if he had seen through everything.

Li Shi'er pointed at Ye Qing, but she was helpless. What Ye Qing said was exactly the purpose of her father and brother trying to suppress the rebellion, but Wanyan Jing was defeated here and did not win there. Instead, she was in a stalemate with Yelu Liuge.

Li Shi'er didn't know whether the reason why Wanyan Chengyu and Ji Sizhong's army could not win was related to her father and brother, but now Ye Qing suggested that Wanyan Jing transfer her father and brother back. Isn't this equivalent to putting the invincible charge on his father and brother, and Li Shi'er naturally couldn't accept it.

What's more, if this happens, when his father and brother return to Dading Mansion, they may be criticized by Ru Lin Ming, Jia Guqing and others. At that time, his queen might have suffered a lot of criticism.

"You... do you have any evidence to prove that my father and brother were dragging down the war!" Li Shi'er spread his palms and asked Ye Qing for evidence.

"I have no evidence." Ye Qing spread his hands, looked at Li Shi'er, who showed disdain at the corner of his mouth, and continued to calmly say: "But if Wanyan Jing wants to calm the rebellion in the shortest time, instead of dragging the war to next year, then he must leave a general who can really lead troops to fight, rather than a speculative person who takes the opportunity to run into the army to make military achievements. Of course, this is just my suggestion. Whether you listen or not is your business, I am just helping you to suppress the rebellion, and the one who makes the decision in the end is Wanyan Jing."

"What if they join forces to pacify Shangjing Road and you, a big liar, take the opportunity to seize Zhongjing Road?" Li Shi'er asked with a sneer.

Ye Qing looked at the Qi Shilie's Gods Slaves, pointed at the chin and said, "Isn't there any Qi Shilie's Gods Slaves on Zhongjing Road?"

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing suspiciously, and couldn't believe that Ye Qing would be so kind, but he had to admit that the suggestions Ye Qing should be the most feasible solution for the current Jin Kingdom.

"Then... since you come to help me to suppress the rebellion of the Great Jin Kingdom, how could you not send out one army or another?" Li Shi'er's eyes flashed with cunning, and without waiting for Ye Qing to react, he continued: "Okay, even if you, Ye Qing, don't have to go out to fight in person, but... your army should also contribute, right? Otherwise, what do you mean to help our Great Jin Kingdom suppress the rebellion? What qualifications do you have to make us bow down to your Song Court!"

Ye Qing suddenly realized, glanced at Qian Xiangzu next to him, and then looked at Li Shi'er with a disbelief. He stared at Li Shi'er for a long time until Li Shi'er felt uncomfortable being watched. Ye Qing said, "You are the lobbyist taken by Wanyan Jing, right? So, Wanyan Jing agrees with my suggestion?"

"If I want my Great Jin Kingdom to bow down to your Song Court, then how can you and Ye Qing and Song Court stand by and watch when our Great Jin Kingdom is in danger? If that is the case, then we might as well join the Mongols..." Li Shi'er obviously had eavesdropped for a long time. Otherwise, he would obviously not know where Ye Qing's weakness is now.

"How long have you eavesdropped?" Ye Qing stood up unconsciously and asked with some surprise.

The Hua family army stationed outside the city of Dading Prefecture, and there were only 200 personal guards in the city. Since these 200 personal guards arrived at Dading Prefecture, Ye Qing gave them extremely thorough rest time. Therefore, in the small house, it can be said that except for him and Qian Xiangzu, the rest are all Jin people.

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing's nervous expression and couldn't help but start to become proud. She snorted: "Anyway, I have heard it. In short... the next thing you, the so-called King of Yan, the Song Dynasty, will depend on your so-called King of Yan. Otherwise... I will tell the emperor..."
