1245 Intricate
Yelu Yue widened her eyes, her fair hands clenched into fists, and the green blood vessels on the back of her hand were clearly visible. She was wearing goose yellow clothes and her slightly soft woman's bun, which weakened her anger that should have been quite obvious.
Although her fair and delicate facial features and her heroic appearance born from joining the army, there was a little less anger in front of Ye Qing, but it also had a little more tempting beauty that made the man's heart-warming.
"What are you doing in Anxi Protectorate?" Ye Qing asked knowingly.
Although the Mongols destroyed Yelu Yue's Liao Kingdom, although it has rarely been mentioned since Yelu Yue defected to Yeqing, whether it is Yeqing or Yan Qingcheng, the women of Yan Qingcheng, they all know very well that although Yelu Yue has not mentioned it in the past few years, she has been holding a deep hatred for the Mongols in her heart. As long as she has a chance, Yelu Yue will rush up to the Mongolians to fight and avenge them without hesitation.
This is also why Ye Qing sent Yelu Yixue to hide it from Yelu Yue, because he was worried that Yelu Yue would go to Anxi in person after learning about it.
"Don't you know?" Yelu Yue stared at her eyes with a questioning tone.
Ye Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't even know how to face Yelu Yue's current expression, especially when he thought of the miserable appearance of Yelu Yue when he defected to him, he didn't know how to refuse Yelu Yue's request to Anxi.
But in the end, reason defeated emotions, and the smile in your eyes gradually disappeared. Ye Qing looked at Yelu Yue with a serious expression and said, "I have always known your thoughts, but... the time has not come yet. With your personality, if you go to Anxi at this time, you may really have a grudge against the Mongolians..."
"I am irreconcilable with Temujin, and I am not the only one who wants to trouble the Mongols now." Yelu Yue said unhappily.
Ye Qing's originally serious expression became a smile again, and even a little doting, he gently patted Yelu Yue's head while getting up. Yelu Yue was rare without showing any disgust. He followed Ye Qing, who was standing up, looked at the huge map on the wall ahead.
"The mantis stalks the cicadas and the orioles behind us. When we were plotting against the Mongolians, the Mongolians were also plotting against us." Ye Qing's hand passed through Tubo from the Anxi location on the map, and took a path to the location of Dali. Looking at Yelu Yue with his eyes wide open, he continued: "The Mongolians sent troops from Tubo to Dali to assist Dali. Their intention was naturally to threaten Zhao Kuo and restrain my covetousness of the Jin Kingdom."
Seeing Ye Qing's fingers crossing from Dali Kingdom to the location of Shangjing of Jin Kingdom, Ye Qing continued: "Send Yelu Yixue, Li An and Xin Qiji to Anxi, the original intention was to attract the attention of the Mongols, so that they could be distracted from our covetous Jin Kingdom and create greater conditions and opportunities for us to swallow gold."
"But will Temujin be fooled?" Yelu Yue's face, which was originally a little angry, became serious because of Ye Qing's seriousness.
After all, he was also a good marching and fighting. Yelu Yue had a clear understanding of Temujin's support for Dali. Ye Qing sent Yelu Yixue to Anxi. At this time, he also had a clear understanding of whether to attack or fight with Mongolia. He had already had a clear understanding of Ye Qing's explanation.
"Do you think I'll really be accused of Temu?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Yelu Yue shook her head seriously without hesitation: "You won't be fooled by Temujin, and Temujin probably won't be fooled by you. After a while, you pretended to support Li An and I am restored to Liao and Restoration Xia, and Temujin rushed to Dali to support Dali... but will it really endanger Zhao Kuo?"
Looking at Ye Qing who was smiling at him without saying a word, Yelu Yue thought for a while and continued, "Of course, because Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can protect him beside Zhao Kuo, you will not worry about Zhao Kuo's safety, so you will never be like Temujin. But if I go to Anxi, will Temujin really continue to be indifferent to Anxi?"
Ye Qing frowned slightly. Yelu Yue's meaning was already very obvious. At present, whether it was Temujin or Ye Qing, the two of them plotted against each other, they would obviously be seen through each other. Temujin would neither let Ye Qing turn back to help Zhao Kuo because of the Dali incident, and Ye Qing could not do it, so that Temujin would pay attention to the restoration of the Xia and Liao areas because of the actions of the Anxi Protectorate.
But if Ye Qing continues to increase the bargaining chips in Anxi, for example... let Yelu Yue go to Anxi to restore Liao, then would Temujin still think that Ye Qing's move is just a feint attack, just to attract their attention in the Jin Dynasty?
The answer is probably not that simple. After all, Yelu Yue's identity and status, as well as her influence in the Liao Kingdom, are definitely not comparable to Yelu Yixue. Even though Ye Qing arranged for the fallen monarch of Xia Kingdom, Li An, to go with him, now Li An... still has influence in Xia Kingdom?
Li An’s throne had to be wrong. Before Xia was destroyed, it was full of controversy among the people and the court. Now that Xia has been destroyed for many years, few people may remember Li An’s monarch, a devastated country? And even if I remember, with Li An’s reputation of mixed reputation, how much role can it play in Xia, which has been ruled by the Mongols?
I am afraid that he would hate him for sneering at him and not considering him the last monarch of Xia State. It is far higher than admitting that he was the last emperor of Xia State.
Therefore, no matter whether Ye Qing sent Yelu Yixue or Li An, he could not cause much restraint to Temujin. Even in order to increase the bargaining chips and Temujin's attention, he specially sent Xin Qiji to lead a large army to Anxi, but these were far from enough for the Mongols to pay attention to their series of actions in Anxi.
After all, there is always a lack of a legitimate and extremely influential figure that is enough to attract Temujin and his Mongolian attention.
Just like today, there are so many people. In Liao and Xia surrendered to the remnants of the Mongols, there is only one person who can gather many strength with just a shout, that is, Princess Chengli of Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yue.
Therefore, Yelu Yue's insistence in front of Ye Qing at this moment naturally made Ye Qing very moved. The reason why she did not choose Yelu Yue was that she did not want Yelu Yue to take risks. After all, the hatred between her and the Mongols was irreconcilable. Ye Qingzhen was afraid that she would steal chickens and lose some rice at that time, so she had to make a plan that seemed useful but was useless, just like Temujin did. For both of them, it was just irrelevant.
Looking at Ye Qing's face with hesitation, Ye Lu Yue stood up and walked to Ye Qing and grabbed Ye Qing's hand, with a hint of coquettishness: "I promise that you won't break your plan after you go. I just haven't been there for a long time, just want to go over and take a look. I promise that I will never take a step out of Xiping Prefecture privately, and I will not take a step out of Xingqing City. I will just go over and take a look... You know, I have been here for many years and have grown up in the desert and grasslands. I will miss that place a little bit..."
"Stop shaking, I'm so shaking that I'm dizzy. Please let me think about it carefully." Ye Qing couldn't resist Yelu Yue's coquettish shaking, and pressed Yelu Yue's shoulder with both hands and let him sit down.
"I agreed with Yan Qingcheng, and I also agreed to the three of them to bring the three of them the good fur and some fun things there. You know, it is very cold in winter in Yanjing, and there is no good fur to keep warm for the winter..."
"Is the various good things that the Jin people give every year better than Anxi..." Ye Qing frowned and asked.
"It's different. The one over there is a homey smell..." Yelu Yue stood up and jumped on Ye Qing's body while acting coquettishly, without any concern that this was the Yanjing yamen office. Her legs instantly wrapped around Ye Qing's waist, and her arms were also tightly hugging Ye Qing's neck at the same time, and she was very likely to stay on Ye Qing's body without agreeing.
Ye Qing, who was helpless and heartbroken, held Yelu Yue's still slender waist with one hand, and patted Yelu Yue's buttocks on the waist with the other hand. The elastic feel made Ye Qing sway. He said in a daze: "Since that's the case, if you go there, remember to listen to Li Heng, don't do anything impulsive, and you can't lead your troops out of the city to pursue him without caring about anything as soon as you see the Mongols..."
Ye Qing had just agreed to Yelu Yue's request to Anxi, and Li Shi'er on the other side suddenly jumped up from the chair.
Not long after Wanyan Congke left, Yelu Chucai came to the mansion. Now Yelu Chucai had left the mansion for less than a stick of incense, and Wang Tingjun and his son also ran over in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Monk Wanyan Chen, Wang Tingjun, with a panic on his face, spread his hands and shouted in a low voice: "It's amazing, something happened, something big happened..."
"Mr. Wang, don't be in a hurry. What's wrong? Let's talk about it slowly." Monk Wanyan Chen was still calm. After all, the exciting news that Yelu Chucai just brought about by Ye Qing's willingness to take the initiative to give in has not been completely digested at this time.
So in Yanjing, since the lord of Yanjing City is not making things difficult for the queen, then is there anything more important than this?
"What happened to Fuman Restaurant..." Wang Tingyun wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said with a heavy breath.
"Fuman Restaurant?" Monk Wanyan Chen was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Fuman Restaurant? What's wrong with it? Please come here by Lord Wang."
He took Wang Tingyun quickly to the inner hall where Li Shier was. Monk Wanyan Chen also learned the whole story along the way. The shopkeeper and clerk of Fuman Restaurant and some of the people mixed with them were arrested by Song Ting and went to the government office for gathering a crowd to fight.
"Gathering a fight? Is this a crime?" Li Shi'er asked incredible light with his eyes, then smiled disdainfully: "No wonder these timid and afraid Song people only know how to recite poems and essays every day. The government has to mobilize such a big fanfare in fighting and even bring people to the government for questioning!"
"Go back to the queen, this matter is a bit strange." Wang Tingyun wiped the sweat beads on her face, glanced at the thoughtful monk Wanyan Chen next to her and reminded him.
"Strange? What's wrong with this?" Monk Wanyan Chen was also a little confused. After all, when Yanjing changed hands, there would be several fights between the people in the city one day?
Even... If it really doesn't happen one day, many people may not get used to it. But why did the ordinary things in the fight have to be controlled when they get to the Song people!
"Empress, Lord Wanyan may not know anything. Although there were fighting and gathering people to cause trouble in Yanjing City before, most of them were the people of our Great Jin Kingdom, and the people of the Song Dynasty in Yanjing City would not participate. Therefore, the government always turned a blind eye, unless it was the people of the Song and Jin Kingdom that caused trouble, and the people of our Great Jin Kingdom suffered losses, the government would intervene. Of course, the reason for this is to maintain the superior identity and status of our Great Jin Kingdom and even the people. Now that Yanjing is robbed by Song, after the fight, they naturally have to arrest them indiscriminately..." Wang Tingyun explained to Li Shier and Monk Chen.
Li Shi'er lives in the palace all year round. Although she is in the center of Yanjing, she doesn't know much about the people. Monk Wanyan Chen has always been guarding outside Yuguan and is not very familiar with the various customs and conditions of Yanjing City.
Only Wang Tingyun was from Yanjing City and had an official in Yanjing City, so he had to understand the customs and customs of Yanjing City more clearly.
"Then have the Song people who participated in this time been arrested and went to the government office?" Li Shi'er asked with a frown.
"No." Wang Tingyun said with some difficulty in concealing his loss.
"So, I just captured our Jin people?" Li Shi'er raised her eyebrows. The eminent that the queen should have was fully displayed at this moment. She even began to grit her teeth at Ye Qing who was far away in the yamen. Ye Qing was too blatant to the power of his favoritism: "Since that's the case, I must ask for an explanation. Why should Ye Qing treat the people of our Great Jin Kingdom like this!"
"Queen, wait..." Wang Tingyun hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to stop him in the void and said, "Queen calms down, you need to think twice about this matter."
"Why?" Monk Wanyan Chen asked with a frown, but thought to himself: Could it be that Wang Tingyun also wanted to retreat at this time?
"Empress, Lord Wanyan, have you forgotten? Did the rumors about the King of Yan that have been circulating in Yanjing City all dates out of Fuman Restaurant?"
Looking at the sudden expression on the faces of Li Shier and Monk Wanyan Chen, Wang Tingyun continued: "No matter what kind of fight arises between the people of Yanjing City, the people of the Jin Dynasty have always taken the initiative to cause trouble. The people of Song people have almost chosen to swallow their anger for many years. They have always insisted on putting peace as the most important thing. It is better to have less things than to have more things. They either choose to turn big things into small things. They never choose to meet officials, nor will they choose to take the initiative to provoke trouble. This time, it is said that a few Song Renshengke, who had never visited Fuman Restaurant before, took the initiative to provoke disputes. Before entering the door, they slapped the client at the door. After seeing the client rushing out, they did not intend to escape. Instead, they entered the hall with great swagger. So I thought, there was something wrong with this, and whether it would be... "
"Are you saying it has something to do with Ye Qing's instructions?" Li Shi'er raised her eyebrows again and asked, with a strong anger on her cheeks.
Ye Qing sent Yelu Chucai to show kindness and concessions to him, but on the other hand, he secretly made small moves, so what exactly did he want to do? Is it... that he wants to use this to threaten himself and gain more benefits in the next level of the substantial benefits he demanded? Or...?
"Can this be done by the woman in Ye Qing's mansion?" Li Shi'er thought about it. When she remembered the scene of Yan Qingcheng coming to the mansion to provoke, she had to wonder if it was done by Yan Qingcheng. After all, the confrontation between her and Yan Qingcheng was precisely because of the rumors about Ye Qing and the Empress Dowager Song Ting that are circulating in Yanjing City today.
