Wanyan Fuxing looked at Wanyan Tuoda who was venting his anger and sighed helplessly. Finally, he grabbed Wanyan Tuoda hard and said a little dissatisfied: "Today's matter ends here, but the prefect probably has to accompany me to the palace to ask for the emperor."

Wanyan Tuoda just wanted to get rid of Wanyan Fuxing's hand, but after hearing Wanyan Fuxing's affairs today, he finally stopped the movement in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "What does Zuo Xiang say? What does the Xiaguan do? Today is the Xiaguan be reckless, and I hope Zuo Xiang forgives him."

"The matter is over, so there is no need to mention it anymore. Besides, Ye Qing is extremely difficult to deal with, and this is not your fault." The two looked at each other tacitly, and Wanyan Fuxing continued: "The Goryeo people were provoking the Song people first. Ye Qing did not attack the Goryeo in the inn today, probably because of the face of the emperor. But... Since Ye Qing mentioned this matter tonight, please ask the Lord to uphold justice, then we will report to the Lord to the truth."

Although Wanyan Tuoda has a reckless personality, it does not mean that he is not smart. After a slight moment, he immediately understood what Wanyan Fuxing meant. After a few words, he had already pointed out to him that it was Ye Qing who wanted to revenge on the Goryeo, not because Wanyan Tuoda's words angered Ye Qing, which made Ye Qing posed a problem for Wanyan Xun.

In this way, whether Wanyan Fuxing or Wanyan Tuoda, they came to confirm the alliance with Ye Qing and the responsibility for failing to return the seal the day after tomorrow, and their sins evaporated and disappeared like dew.

The matter is still that difficult, but even Wanyan Xun doesn’t know how to pursue the responsibility for this matter.

After all, as long as Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda speak consistently in front of Wanyan Xun, Wanyan Xun will not blame the two of them, and they will not even be able to do such a small matter.

So in the view of the scheming Wanyan Fuxing, after reporting this matter to Wanyan Xun, Wanyan Xun will at most transfer the anger of failure to happen to the proactive provocation of Gaoli and Cui Zhongxian and Ye Qing's vengeful nature. He will never blame the two of them for not having confirmed the exchange of jade seals with Ye Qing and forming an alliance.

Everything has always been like this. As long as someone unified the caliber, those sins and responsibilities will often become more and more blurred with the sharing of several parties, and eventually it is like dew evaporated. The sins and responsibilities will be left unresolved and become completely unresponsible.

In the carriage, Ye Qing praised Zhao Paner, who was a little nervous and trepidated after getting on the carriage, but even so, Zhao Paner was still feeling a little up and down. Without the nod of the King of Yan, she spoke out on her own initiative, which had already violated her duties as a spy, not to mention... she was in front of three big figures who were all in high positions, so it was not difficult to understand that Zhao Paner was filled with uneasiness at this time.

Ye Qing did not pursue the matter. After praising him a few words, he stopped talking after seeing Zhao Paner still looking nervous and frightened. After all, saying too much may backfire, which makes Zhao Paner even more nervous.

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Wanyan Xun." Ye Qing said this without any end when he got off the car.

After returning to the inn, Zhao Paner suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing in the inn tonight. He couldn't help but stand in front of the window and think for a while before he came to his senses: it seemed that after returning to the inn, he did not see the two maids who were with the shadows beside the King of Yan again.

In addition, in the lobby of the backyard, Ye Qing, who had finished washing up, looked at Yelu Yixue with excitement and asked strangely: "What is this happy event? Is it that the Commander Yelu, who has always been happy and angry, is beyond words?"

"Don't King Yan think there is nothing missing around you?" Yelu Yixue sat down and picked up the teacup and asked with a smile.

"Are you talking about those two maids?" Ye Qing had already understood it. It was precisely because the two maids disappeared in the inn today that Ye Qing was even more confident that Wanyan Xun had completely chosen to form an alliance with him and abandon Gaoli, Cui Zhongxian and his son.

"The King of Yan may not know that before the two maids left, they stayed in your room for a long time..." Yelu Yixue said with a chuckle.

"Do you look for that jade seal?" Ye Qing guessed.

Yelu Yixue nodded and flattered: "Yan King Yingming, but the two did not find it, and then they had to leave in a hurry. Could this be related to your meeting with the Mongols today?"

Ye Qing sat down at the top and briefly explained the fact that after leaving the Mongolian Posthouse today, Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda invited him to Zuixianglou.

Yelu Yixue suddenly realized and talked to himself repeatedly, no wonder.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere at the Song Ting Inn, Wanyan Xun's face was gloomy in the imperial study room of the palace, while Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda looked quite frightened, standing there with a slightly bent waist and didn't even dare to breathe.

Wanyan Xun, who had a gloomy face, glared at Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda again with a vicious look, then waved his hand impatiently to the eunuch at the door, and said, "Let Lord Zhang, Minister of Rites, come in."

Taking advantage of Wanyan Xun's speech, Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda looked at each other, and they could see the fear and worry in each other's eyes. I wonder if it would be because of the incident tonight that Wanyan Xun would pay more attention to Zhang Qiyan, rather than him, the left prime minister Wanyan Fuxing and the prefect of Huining Wanyan Tuoda.

In helping Wanyan Xun obtain the throne of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda made great contributions. However, when Wanyan Xun ascended the throne as he wished, Zhang Qiyan became a new force. In Wanyan Xun's heart, he was chasing several ministers of the Wanyan surname that they had.

Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda contacted Ye Qing tonight. Not only did they fail to implement the alliance and the jade seal, they even caused him Wanyan Xun to get back in trouble, but they even had to completely turn against the Koreans under Ye Qing's oppression.

Even though Wanyan Xun could not blame the "innocent" Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda, he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he still wanted to pull these two loyal ministers out and behead them!

Zhang Qiyan hurriedly followed the eunuch to the imperial study room. Seeing Wanyan Fuxing, who was hunched in the study room, who didn't even dare to breathe, Wanyan took a look. Zhang Qiyan hurriedly saluted Wanyan Xun first, and then stood up with Wanyan Xun impatiently waved his hand, listening to Wanyan Fuxing telling the story of meeting with Ye Qing tonight.

When Yelu Chenggong hurriedly found Zhang Qiyan, Zhang Qiyan had already vaguely guessed the reason why Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda and the other two met Ye Qing.

Zhang Qiyan originally thought that Wanyan Fuxing, Wanyan Tuoda would make great contributions to Wanyan Xun because of his negotiations with Ye Qing, the implementation of alliance and the return of seals.

, thus making his ambition in the court a step further.

Unexpectedly, not only did the two of them fail to accomplish this, they also brought a difficult problem to return to the imperial study room to meet Wanyan Xun.

"Suppose you are angry." After hearing this, Zhang Qiyan hurriedly said before Wanyan Xun got angry again: "Report to the sage, I think I cannot blame the Zuo Prime Minister and the magistrate for this matter, but..."

Zhang Qiyan hesitated slightly, and looked a little embarrassed. Wanyan Xun turned his head and looked at him in a deep voice: "What do you want to say but it's okay. Of course, I will not blame you."

Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda were filled with nervousness at this moment. Zhang Qiyan's words just now made them nervous hearts almost jump out. They couldn't hear it. Zhang Qiyan planned to put their guilt that they had finally cleared and put it on the heads of them.

"But I am a little curious. Although Ye Qing relies on his strength in the north to act arrogantly, he would not have deliberately asked you a problem because of what happened last night." Zhang Qiyan thought with his beard holding his chin.

Wanyan Xun frowned: "Why do you think so?"

Zhang Qiyan unconsciously glanced at Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda, sneered in his heart, and then said, "Sage, I still remember clearly that this time Ye Qing personally sent me to the Great Jin Kingdom as an envoy of the Song court. The most important purpose was to form an alliance with you. In order to form an alliance with you, he even took the initiative to return my Great Jin seal. So according to my opinion, Ye Qing should be at this important juncture and would definitely not deliberately make things difficult for the Emperor..."

"Zhang Qiyan, what do you know? Don't forget that the Goryeo people just offended Ye Qing last night! Today, Ye Qing wants to use our hands to retaliate against the Goryeo people, what's wrong?" Wanyan Tuoda couldn't help but retort.

Zhang Qiyan smiled relaxedly, looked at Wanyan Tuoda who was glaring at him and said calmly: "Yes, Ye Qing has always been a vengeful revenge. The incident last night was a great defeat, and he didn't even take advantage of it. What's more, Jin Yunhou, the confidant monk who was beside Cui Zhongxian, had personally visited the Songting Inn, and finally came out without any damage. It is even said that... Ye Qing personally sent it to the entrance of the inn. So according to my opinion, with Ye Qing's current status and status, it is obviously unlikely that he would make capricious moves. So I think that there is any misunderstanding in this that makes Ye Qing so difficult for the emperor."

"Mr. Zhang said this...doesn't it be that my true appearance did not do my best for the priest?" Wanyan Fuxing had to question at this time.

"The lower officials believe in Lord Zuo Prime Minister, but... it is probably whether some people will know how to take the overall situation into consideration like Lord Zuo Prime Minister. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the words of some people that Ye Qing was offended by Ye Qing...." Zhang Qiyan glanced at Wanyan Tuoda, who had an argument with him yesterday.

Wanyan Tuoda wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute. In addition, Wanyan Xun was looking at him with a gloomy face at this moment, which made Wanyan Tuoda panic for a while. He hurriedly knelt down and said to Wanyan Xun: "Report to the Master, these are all nonsense in Zhang Qiyan's story and random speculations. At that time, the minister did not offend Ye Qing..."

"Master, I can testify to the Prefect Wanyan. My words and deeds of the Prefect Wanyan in Zuixianglou tonight have not offended Ye Qing at all. Moreover, I have been reminding the Prefect Wanyan that the Prefect should take the meaning of the Prefect." Wanyan Fuxing also said hurriedly.

The two of them are now like grasshoppers on a rope. If Wanyan Xun blames Wanyan Tuoda, then he Wanyan Fuxing will naturally not be able to escape.

"Enough!" Wanyan Xun shouted in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to hold you responsible. I asked you three to come to my imperial study room. I didn't want you to anger me, but to let you share my worries and solve my problems! Everyone said, what should I do now? Can't I really be led by Ye Qing!"

Zhang Qiyan, Wanyan Fuxing, Wanyan Tuoda looked at each other dissatisfiedly, and then lowered his head at the same time.

"If I clearly parted ways with the Goryeo people, wouldn't I be equivalent to breaking my trust in everyone in the world? I would agree to Ye Qing's request, and it would be a situation of injustice. But if I don't agree, you will have to think about the future of the Great Jin Kingdom and your glory and wealth." Wanyan Xun said with some melancholy.

"Once Ye Qing's request is agreed, it will be equivalent to being completely tied to Ye Qing. The current situation in the world is not... undesirable." Wanyan Fuxing said with a tough bullet.

At present, as long as Wanyan Xun is not allowed to blame him for his alliance with Wanyan Tuoda, whether he will form an alliance with the Song court, and whether there will be no other way out for the Jin Kingdom or the priest in the future, that is the future matter. Even for Wanyan Fuxing, only after passing the current level and not being suppressed by Zhang Qiyan, as long as he can still not lose trust in front of the priest, then he will have the life to think about the future matters.

Otherwise, if you can't save your career and destiny today, how can you continue to be loyal to the emperor in the future? What else can you continue to fight with Zhang Qiyan?

"How can Lord Zuo Xiang ensure that this move is not a way to attract a wolf into the house?" Zhang Qiyan asked Wanyan Fuxing with a smile: "The Goryeo people once had the power to help the emperor, but the day was not long, so the Goryeo people came in person to seek rewards, hoping that the emperor would repay them immediately. So isn't Lord Zuo Xiang afraid that Ye Qing would be the second Cui Zhongxian?"

"But do we have any choice now?" Wanyan Fuxing looked gloomy. Although he knew that this move was just a bad move, in order not to be held accountable by Wanyan Xun today and to have the opportunity to continue fighting with Zhang Qiyan in the future, Wanyan Fuxing had to support Wanyan Xun to completely give up the Goryeo and turn to form an alliance with Song Ting: "Shangshu Zhang, don't forget that Mongolia is also strong and is also eyeing our Jin Dynasty. Although we choose between Song and Mongolia, who are both weak, compared with the price of alliance with the Mongolians, is the price of alliance with Song much smaller?"

"So what?" Zhang Qiyan continued to ask.

"So what?" Wanyan Fuxing sneered and continued: "Shangshu Zhang, have you ever thought about... If we don't seize the opportunity today, then will the consequences of Ye Qing making more concessions again, or Temujin suddenly gave up on his vigilance towards Song and Ye Qing, and then the two hit it off and became an allies?"

Wanyan Xun turned around in shock and looked at Wanyan Fuxing. Zhang Qiyan and Wanyan Tuoda also looked at him with incredible expressions. Wanyan Fuxing sighed and continued, "Song, once Meng formed an alliance because of strategic interests, have you ever thought that even if we have Goryeo as an ally, even if there is no barrier between Goryeo Cui Zhongxian and Emperor Wang Wu, even if there is harmony between their monarch and his subjects,...

Can you withstand the impact of Song and Meng Tie Cavalry?"

Whether it is Wanyan Xun, Wanyan Tuoda, or Zhang Qiyan, they naturally know that once Song and Meng join forces to divide the entire world, then under the current big situation in the world, there is probably no one to compete with! They are as weak as ants in front of him.

"If we want to survive between the two strong people, we must choose a powerful ally as the big tree. Compared with Song and Meng, the emperor must know in his heart that the price of alliance with Song is far less than the price of joining hands with Meng, right?" Wanyan Fuxing looked miserable and miserable. Although the current situation of the Jin Kingdom was not what he wanted to see, the facts were so cruel in front of him. If the Jin Kingdom did not perish, they could only choose to survive like this, and they could only choose to bow their heads in front of the strong.

"At present, whether it is the Goryeo Kingdom or the Goryeo envoy Cui Zhongxian, they have become a burden for my Great Jin Kingdom to continue to survive." Wanyan Fuxing looked at Wanyan Xun with a solemn expression, and continued with a sad expression: "Yes, Ye Qing's move is to cut off the possibility of an alliance between the Great Jin and Mongolia, and to cut off our retreat. But Master, we should believe that as long as we can carefully lie on firewood and taste gall, and deal with Song and Mongolia, then one day it will be the same.

It is not impossible to regain strength when the weak Song Dynasty returned to its strength and regain everything that originally belonged to us. For the sake of the present plan, I think that only by forming an alliance with Song, enduring it, and sleeping on firewood and tasting gall can we have the opportunity to restore strength. At that time, who will remember that you had broken your trust in others? Who will remember that we also bowed to the Song court? Just like the Song court now, who will still care about the humiliation of the past? Who is not admiring the strong Song Dynasty for this time?"

"Will it be? Will there be that day?" Wanyan Xun was a little moved when she was said, and she couldn't help but ask with some longing in her expression.

"Yes, I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard under the protection of Song, just like the Song court back then, although you are in a corner, you have been working hard to achieve success. Then it will never be impossible to return to the prosperous era one day." Wanyan Fuxing continued.

"Sage, I think the words of the Left Prime Minister are feasible. I believe that since the Song court can do it, then my Great Jin Kingdom will definitely be able to recover its prosperity one day under your wise rule!" Seeing Wanyan Xun's intentional look, Zhang Qiyan hurriedly seized the opportunity to seek credit and suddenly spoke.

But after he finished speaking, he was greeted with Wanyan Fuxing's vicious gaze.

However, Zhang Qiyan smiled proudly at the vicious gaze, as if saying, if you want to seek credit alone in front of the saint, you must have made the wrong plan, let alone, do you still want to be in front of me, Zhang Qiyan?

Wanyan Xun's eyes swept through the three ministers in front of him in the imperial study room. After thinking for a long time, he returned to the back of the desk and sat down. Then he sighed, glanced at the three of them again, and said, "Tomorrow, Zhang Shangshu will go to the Song Ren Inn."

Before Zhang Qiyan could give a thank-you, Wanyan Xun waved his hand, then raised his eyelids and looked at Wanyan Fuxing, who was expressionless, and looked at Wanyan Tuoda, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The alliance and the Jade Seal will be responsible for the responsibility of Zhang Shangshu from today. And the matter of Goryeo envoy... the left prime minister is responsible for the handling. After all, you were responsible for the secret connection back then, so of course I have to hand it over to you today to be at ease."

Wanyan Fuxing lamented in his heart. The result he didn't want finally came, which is enough to show that his position in the hearts of the priest Wanyan Xun is one of the decline and the other is the rise.

But the person who rose to the top was not him, and the person who fell to the top was not Zhang Qiyan.

"I obey the order." Wanyan Fuxing said calmly, and then, with Wanyan Xun's wave, the three of them walked out of the imperial study one by one.

As the eunuchs in the inner city stopped moving forward, Zhang Qiyan, Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Tuoda thanked each other, the atmosphere between the three immediately became tense. The late night, which was a little cool, became a little solemn and nervous.

"Mr. Zhang is such a powerful strategy. He only took the credit into his merits in just a few words." Wanyan Fuxing couldn't help but sarcastically. Logically, after the last words tonight, the credit should be his own, but in the end he was won by Zhang Qiyan for nothing.

Faced with Wanyan Fuxing's ridicule, Zhang Qiyan was not inferior to him and said, "Sir Zuo Prime Minister, you should be magnanimous. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here at this moment? The two things about alliance and seals are in love with Ye Qing, but the Zuo Prime Minister was in trouble when it was implemented, but it also makes people sigh that the Zuo Prime Minister is worthy of being a great emperor. If this matter was a person who was not a crime of beheading, he would probably not be able to escape the punishment of demotion."

"I'm still behaved when I get the cheaper. Zhang Qiyan, I warn you, don't be too proud too early. Today's affairs are just the beginning. It's not certain who will kill you in the end." Wanyan Tuoda, who was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger, snorted coldly.

"First think about whether your magistrate's mission can be kept." Zhang Qiyan did not retreat and continued to tit-for-tat: "Wanyan Tuoda, don't blame Zhang for not warning you. Although the emperor favors you,... this does not mean that this favor is unlimited. If you don't clamp your tail and become a human being, you will be divided into officials in person. At that time, even the Zuo Prime Minister will not be able to save you."

"You don't need to teach me how to be a person or an official. You can wait. Sooner or later, I will put you in prison with my own hands. At that time, see if you will still be as proud as today!" Wanyan Tuoda also said again.

Wanyan Fuxing patted Wanyan Tuoda's shoulder, then looked at the soldiers who were patrolling the dark palace lanterns, then turned to look at Zhang Qiyan and said, "In the future, you and I will have opportunities to communicate in the court, but I have become interested in seeing who can laugh to the end."

"Since the left prime minister has the intention, the lower official is naturally willing to be entrusted." Zhang Qiyan stopped in front of the carriage, and then Wanyan Fuxing. Wanyan Tuoda saw Yelu Chenggong slowly walk off the carriage, ignoring Yelu Chenggong's salute to both of them at all, and after snorting his nostrils, he jumped onto the carriage and left first.

Looking at Wanyan Fuxing, Wanyan Tuoda left in a frustration. Yelu Chenggong instantly realized that Zhang Qiyan had the upper hand in today's imperial study room, so he hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Lord Zhang, the Lord."

"Congratulations, but... the fight has really begun." Zhang Qiyan's face was filled with a hint of worry. Zhang Qiyan was actually not very excited about Wanyan Xun's dispatch just now, and even felt a little nervous: Could this be intentional by the Supreme Master Wanyan Xun? It was to deliberately deepen the conflict between him and Wanyan Fuxing for the sake of a balance plan in the court?
