Since the New Year, Yanjing City has been a storm. People or families of all kinds have begun to gather in Yanjing City with the news that the court is about to move the capital, making Yanjing City even more mixed. Some forces have also begun to grab territory and draw territory in secret to protect their vested interests and take the lead in stabilizing their own heels before outsiders.

However, these are all folk customs, and they are still far away from the noble King of Yan and the Yanjing Prefecture. Moreover, without endangering the Yanjing Prefecture, Liu Keshi was willing to let Yanjing City have more rules at this time, so as to make more preparations for the future relocation of the imperial court.

"The wind is rising in Yanjing City." Li Fengniang's phoenix eyes were filled with a hint of worry. She still prefers the calm situation when she arrived in Yanjing, rather than the situation in front of her, full of various strange waves.

"This also shows that even if the court is far away in Lin'an, it has an influence and authority on Yanjing that is equivalent to other places, right?" Ye Qing smiled and said, "I really don't know what you are worried about. What are you doing when you come to Yanjing thousands of miles away? Wouldn't it be better to move with the court? Why do you have to trek into this muddy water?"

Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing in surprise, and thought for a moment: "So, are you, King Yan really planning to fight against the court?"

"It's boring to say too much. I, Ye Qing, don't have that mind or plan." Ye Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, and continued: "But we can't let the imperial court do whatever he wants before and after moving the capital, without knowing Yanjing. I'm afraid that this will give others an opportunity to take advantage of. The Mongolians on the grassland may be just some barbarians in the eyes of you noble people who are pampered and noble, but their intelligence and strategy are not inferior to us at all. With their powerful force, I have to be careful. Once my efforts fail, I, Ye Qing, will be the first sinner at that time.

Instead of the first hero, you are not at ease with the court to move the capital, including weakening your rights of King Yan." Li Fengniang sighed: "But if I stand from your perspective, I can understand your difficulties. Not only Yanjing, but also the entire northern land, you Ye Qing alone fought for the court. You have been in the entire northern land for many years. Whether it is the appointment and removal of civil servants or the promotion of military generals, you Ye Qing has the final say. Even the taxes in the northern land are discussed with you, the King of Yan every year, and the court's face is not good."

"Of course, I also know that the reason why the northern land can return to the court is due to your contribution to your Ye Qing, but don't forget that without Song court behind you, Ye Qing alone, you would not be able to achieve such achievements and status today, right? Now you are using the Mongols as an excuse, but don't forget that you are the one who promises to give Mongolians food and grass, and you are the one who wants to defend against the Mongols, so... don't you think your reason is very contradictory and clumsy?"

"This is the case with military and national affairs. No matter which strategy it is, it is just for the ultimate benefit. We should show weakness to the Mongols at present because we want to lose Jin and guard against the Mongols. Because after the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, the Mongols will be our only foreign enemy. Could it be that you, Li Fengniang, wouldn't you naively think that once we lose Jin Dynasty, the world will be peaceful? We can also put swords and guns into the warehouse, and will the horse be released to the Nanshan Mountain?" Ye Qing said lightly.

"It is naturally undesirable to put swords and guns into the warehouse, and horses are naturally undesirable to put swords and guns into the warehouse. The state of Jin was an example. No matter what the reason was, it was definitely a mistake to put swords and guns into the warehouse, and horses are definitely a mistake, which caused nomadic people to ravage the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Naturally, I, the Song Dynasty, naturally, did not want to be a sinner in China, but in some things, we should still respect the court, right? Could it be that you really want the Northland that you have worked hard to capture, will be separated from the court's laws?" Li Fengniang said worriedly.

"Don't you understand if you want haste, don't you understand?" Ye Qing turned his head and asked with a smile: "Everything needs to be a process. At present, Yanjing and the entire northern region, the imperial court wants to take over the capital by taking it in one fell swoop, so that all parties in the northern region can enter the control of the imperial court. Is this possible? Are you not afraid that some officials in the northern region who cannot even control me, Ye Qing, will cause trouble?"

"Is there any official in the north that you, Ye Qing, cannot be shocked?" Li Fengniang said with a slight sarcastic look on her lips.

"If you don't believe it, you can try it." Ye Qing ignored Li Fengniang's sarcasm and continued: "When chaos arose in the north, who will the court blame these? Wouldn't it be me Ye Qing? The north was ruled by the Jin Kingdom for many years and has not been long since it returned to the court. Although it seems that all the places are very stable, when I was conquering the city, I had to apply some Jin officials on the spot because I did not receive support from the court. So have you ever thought that once the conflict between the court and I, Ye Qing, broke out, will those officials from the Jin Kingdom miss this rare opportunity to disagree with the North and the court?"

"At that time, the people in the world will blame me, Ye Qing, and think that I, Ye Qing, and the court will think that I, Ye Qing, and the court will think that I, Ye Qing, and even now when I say these words, you, Li Fengniang, will think that I will do that at that time. Once the conflict between me and the court becomes a real conflict, you, Li Fengniang, really don't think... Is this an opportunity for the Mongolians?"

"But we can't let the court become a puppet court in Yanjing, right?" Li Fengniang was silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Tell the court that I am anxious and can't eat hot tofu. Some things, after I die, we can sit down and talk slowly. If I keep doing small movements behind me, Ye Qing, then what is the difference from the previous court? I, Ye Qing, faced a situation that is no different from that back then? We must not only attack Jin and analyze Goryeo, but also beware of some people making small moves behind their backs, which will aggravate some officials in the Northland's dissatisfaction with the court. Of course, I, Ye Qing, have been through this these years, and are not afraid of competing with the situation of being attacked from both sides of the country. But what can you get if you do this?"

Li Fengniang continued to remain silent. After a long time, she slowly said: "Will you leave Yanjing early tomorrow morning?"

"Don't think about what I get from Yanjing before I come back. Although my family and children are here, I can assure you now: No matter who it is, I dare to let my family and children suffer a little grievance. I, Ye Qing, let go of my words. When I come back from Jin Kingdom, I promise to let him live a life worse than death!" Ye Qing said at the end, the murderous aura in his tone seemed to be a little colder and sharper than the coldest weather in Yanjing.

Li Fengniang couldn't help but shivered, sighed helplessly, and then left the Yan Prince's Mansion silently.

Of course she believed that even if Ye Qing was not in Yanjing, if anyone wanted to touch Ye Qing's family in Yanjing... Perhaps no one in this world can have the ability to touch anyone in Yanjing's palace.

Before the day was dawn the next day, the Yan Prince's Mansion was already brightly lit and people were coming and going. Not only was there a busy scene of people coming and going, but there were also many officials who came here to see off the King of Yan on the streets outside the mansion.

It is also because they are of low grade that they are not even qualified to enter the Yan Palace to send a blessing to the Yan King. They can only stand on both sides of the street with their servants to help the King of Yan’s trip outside.

The Yan Palace was crowded with people. Li Shi'er, accompanied by Zhao Pan'er and others, walked out of the mansion first and prepared to get on the carriage, which immediately attracted a stir among the officials on both sides of the street. They sorted out their official uniforms one by one, hoping to take the opportunity to greet King Yan. Even if they didn't have the opportunity to give a few auspicious words in front of King Yan, if they could be familiar with each other and let King Yan remember him, it would be worth the effort of standing here for half an hour.

With Li Shi'er, Zhao Pan'er and others getting on the carriage, Ye Qing said goodbye to Yan Qingcheng and other women, surrounded by Liu Keshi and others and walked to the gate of the palace and looked at the officials on both sides. He seemed quite satisfied. After the court released the news of the capital movement, there were still so many people coming to see him off.

Didn't choose to sit in immediately

In the carriage, he chose to ride on the horse. Surrounded by Jia She and others, he passed by the officials on both sides, and greeted the familiar officials from time to time. The officials who were recognized by Ye Qing and named after them were all energetic and energetic, as if they had already officially entered the high-level circle of the Yanjing officialdom. The smug look on their faces seemed particularly obvious in front of their colleagues who were recognized by the King of Yan.

After a while of greetings, it was already bright when the team of hundreds of people arrived at the gate of Yanjing City. Among all the people who saw him off, Ye Qing did not find Li Fengniang's shadow, and even Zhu Yeer or the eunuch Qingqiu in front of her did not see it.

Facing the rising sun slowly heading east, and in the mansion where Li Fengniang of Yanjing City, Qingqiu is reporting on what happened in Yanjing City when the King of Yan left the capital today and the farewell show at the city gate.

Compared to Ye Qing's trip from Lin'an to another place, Ye Qing's trip in Yanjing is much more powerful. It can almost be said that every time Ye Qing travels from Yanjing, he will alarm the entire Yanjing City officials to send him off.

All the states and prefectures passing along the road will personally welcome Ye Qing and his group at the gate of the city.

Even after leaving Yuguan and entering the Jin realm, Ye Qing's trip was still very grand. The Jin people's prefecture city would welcome him at the gate when Ye Qing and others passed by, and see off the Song Ting King Yan and others.

Almost at the same time, when Ye Qing arrived in Liaoyang, Xie Shenfu and Han Yanjia also entered Yanjing City at the same time. Liu Keshi, as the prefect of Yanjing Prefecture, was so kind that the two could not find any faults. He personally led other officials to greet them at the city gate and arranged residences for them personally. It was not until the two went to the empress dowager's residence to pay homage to Li Fengniang.

At this time, after the reception for Ye Qing was completed, Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Bi, including Zhang Qiyan who came to Liaoyang a few days ago, also came to Ye Qing's mansion in Songzhen to discuss the matter of Goryeo on the second day.

Just as Ye Qing and Zhang Qiyan planned for Cui Zhongxian, Cui Zhongxian immediately raised the banner of restoring the Goguryeo Dynasty after returning to Goryeo, and this move immediately attracted Wang Wei's anger. In the Goryeo court, Cui Zhongxian and the emperor Wang Wei completely turned against each other in front of the ministers. When Cui Zhongxian left the court, almost 30% to 40% of the officials chose to withdraw from the court with Cui Zhongxian.

After Cui Zhongxian withdrew from the court, he immediately left the capital of Goryeo Kaijing under the escort of Yelu Shibei and the Jin people, and rushed to Jianghua City the next day and began to confront the Goryeo Kingdom clearly.

Jianghua, Fudong and other places were originally the base camps managed by Cui Zhongxian. In addition, the Danluo, Baozhou and other places closer to the Jin Dynasty, Cui Zhongxian has occupied nearly half of the territory in Goryeo.

Dongning Prefecture, including Danluo and Baozhou, became Cui Zhongxian's rear. The 50,000 army of the Jin Dynasty also braved the cold and entered Baozhou, where the Dongning Prefecture was located, as soon as the first time after the Chinese New Year.

It was just a close fight. Although neither Cui Zhongxian nor Wang Wei took advantage, Wang Wei devoted his whole country to suppress Cui Zhongxian who wanted to restore Goguryeo, but instead caused some ministers to raise the banner of the Baekje, the New and Old Dynasty to restore Baekje, to the east.

It is precisely because Baekje and Silla wanted to divide the power of Goryeo that Cui Zhongxian's pressure on Wang Shi was suddenly reduced, but in just over a month, when March, the Goryeo minister who had just claimed to be King Silla was too close to the capital of Goryeo and the huge gap between his troops and Goryeo. Before Ye Qing arrived in Liaoyang, he was suppressed by Wang Shi with lightning speed.

As Silla just bubbling and was quickly suppressed, Goryeo became a situation of separatist rule by tripartite forces, Cui Zhongxian in the west, Baekje dynasty in the east, and the orthodox Goryeo king in the middle.

However, it seems that the Baekje dynasty, which responded to Choi Zhongxian's desire to restore the Goguryeo Dynasty, has not been suppressed by Wang Wei yet, but different voices have appeared inside. It is said that the three forces of the three families are still arguing over who is the Baekje royal family.

But even though the three families argued endlessly about who the orthodox royal family was to restore the Baekje dynasty, King Wu of the Goryeo Kingdom was unable to lead a large army to suppress the Baekje dynasty in recent times.

But it was precisely because of the internal dispute between Baekje that Wang Wei believed that Baekje was not a problem, so he turned his attention to Cui Zhongxian, the culprit.

As a result, after less than two months of relaxation, Cui Zhongxian had to face Wang Shi's strong pressure again. Even with 50,000 gold men helping him, Cui Zhongxian still felt a little difficult to support when challenging Wang Shi.

Cui Zhongxian thought he could defeat Wang Yan with the momentum of defeating Gula, but in Cifeng Ridge in front of Helan Mansion, he had encountered an insurmountable natural barrier. Even under the unsuccessful circumstances, Wang Yan was driven out of Cifeng Ridge by him and could not move forward even if he had to.

"At present, it seems that a stalemate situation is coming. For a moment, Wang Wei can't do anything to Cui Zhongxian, and Cui Zhongxian can't attack from Cifengling." Zhang Qiyan frowned and explained to Ye Qing the current dispute situation in Goryeo.

"For the sake of the present, there is no other way except to continue to increase troops to Cui Zhongxian?" Wanyan Fuxing frowned and asked Ye Qing.

"What about Wanyan Xun's intention?" Ye Qing asked with a smile. He was not very familiar with the situation in Goryeo when he was in Yanjing. He only began to receive news about the situation in Goryeo intermittently when approaching the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, it can be judged from this that Wanyan Xun may still think that the situation is within a controllable range, or... he has been guarding against himself and unwilling to send troops to Goryeo by himself.

Of course, it is also possible that the more troops you have, the more pressure you will be, for Wanyan Xun and his Jin Dynasty, it will naturally be a great pressure.

Fortunately, in order to reassure Wanyan Xun of his heart and to be able to take Li Shier and others with him when he left Liaoyang before the New Year, Ye Qing did not increase his troops to Yuguan.

After the replacement of defense in Liaoyang, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can's troops were always honest during this period, without any extraordinary actions in Liaoyang. Even the three monks Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Xielie and Qishilie Baishan who were temporarily inserted into the broken camp when they left Liaoyang before the New Year, were not discovered by the Jin people.

Of course, the three monks Wanyan and Chen and the others secretly entered the Breaking Camp, and there was no news in the Jin Kingdom. It was just that because the news was too small, and although Wanyan Fuxing was suspicious, he had no evidence at hand, so he had to give up.

"The Master means... maybe they are stalemate for a while, and then they mainly attack when Goryeo is a little unprepared. In short, the Master believes that if you continue to invest troops in Goryeo, you may not be able to capture Cifeng Ridge in a short time. After all, the army in Wang Wei's hands has just suppressed the rebel Silla. Now that the morale is in full swing, it is probably difficult to break through in one fell swoop, and directly point to the capital to open capital." Zhang Qiyan glanced at Wanyan Fuxing, and still told Ye Qing what Wanyan Xun meant.

"But what if Wang Yan quenched the rebellion of Baekje during the period of waiting? Silla of the rebel party did not withstand Wang Yan's army, then do you think Baekje, who is still fighting internally? The longer the time goes by, the more intense the internal struggle of Baekje will become. Once Wang Yan seizes the opportunity to take it down, wouldn't Cui Zhongxian and we have to face the pressure from Wang Yan alone be more difficult than the current situation? At that time, if we increase our troops, it will probably be too late." Ye Qing turned the teacup in his hand and expressed his different opinions.

"In this way, does the King of Yan want to send troops to help Cui Zhongxian?" Wanyan Fuxing asked with some concern.

“Yellow

Shi Bei once escorted Cui Zhongxian and his son back to Kaijing, Goryeo, and were familiar with the terrain routes of Goryeo. Perhaps we could crush the Goryeo army by sending troops to help..." Ye Qing said lightly.

"I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate?" Wanyan Fuxing immediately opposed: "If the King of Yan intends to send troops, then although the troops in Dongning Mansion or Cifengling will increase, the King of Yan is also a long-standing person. I believe that after the three families' forces are concentrated together, they may backfire because they cannot act uniformly, and instead give King Goryeo to the opportunity to defeat each one. So I think... it is not safe to send troops."

"But if we can't decide for a long time, is it a solution?" Wanyan Bi, who had not spoken, asked back: "Our grain and grass supplies, the Zuo Prime Minister can see that the Liaoyang Prefecture can no longer support it now. Last month, he had already mobilized grain and grass from Xianping Prefecture and Long'an Prefecture. If he continues to drag it on, wouldn't even the grain and grass from Huining Prefecture be mobilized?"

"Does the prefect Wanyan know that even if we let the 20,000 elite troops under the command of King Yan go to Goryeo, can we solve the problem of food and grass?" Wanyan Fuxing asked back: "Now Cui Zhongxian has agreed to mobilize more food and grass to our army, so it will not be a problem to support it for another two or three months. But at the moment... As far as I know, around the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Yan sent a lot of food and grass to the Mongols, but I wonder if there was any excess food and grass to supply the 20,000 troops stationed in Liaoyang?"

When Zhang Qiyan and Wanyan Bi heard Wanyan Fuxing's words, they looked at Ye Qing at the same time. Obviously, they did not expect that when they were supplying Ye Qing's 20,000 troops in Liaoyang, Ye Qing provided the excess food and grass to the Mongolians.

"What the Zuo Prime Minister said...is it really happened?" Zhang Qiyan asked with a frown slightly. At this moment, he felt like he was deceived by Ye Qing.

"Of course it's true, but Master Zuo Prime Minister can tell me why I, Ye Qing, showed weakness to the Mongols, and why I decided to sign a letter of friendship between the two countries?" Ye Qing said calmly.

"I wish to hear the noble views of King Yan." Wanyan Fuxing said coldly.

"If I don't give the Mongolians food, will Yelu Liuge and his team retreat from Changling and other places? If I don't give the Mongolians food, how can you draw troops so calmly to Goryeo to help Cui Zhongxian?" Ye Qing asked.

"Does King Yan do not believe in General Qi Shilie's Gods Slave? Can he handle the attack of Yelu Liuge's unit?" Wanyan Fuxing asked with a sneer.

"Qi Shilie's Gods Slave? This king's defeated general. Wanyan Fuxing wouldn't really think that he could resist the Yelu Liu Ge's wife with the Mongols backing behind him? If Zuo Xiang thought so, he would probably be a bit too whimsical." Ye Qing said with disdain on his lips.

Wanyan Fuxing, Zhang Qiyan and Wanyan Bi looked even more solemn, even with a hint of displeasure.

However, they had to admit that what Ye Qing was telling the truth. After all, even though Qi Shilie's Gods Slave was not hailed as the most brave general of the Jin Kingdom, no one could do anything in the Jin Kingdom. However, in several wars when they encountered Ye Qing, Qi Shilie's Gods Slave was defeated by Ye Qing without exception.

Seeing the three of them having a slight displeasure, Ye Qing was unwilling to stimulate them again, and continued with a smile: "Of course, this is just my suggestion. As for what to do, of course, we should see how Wanyan Xun thinks. If we want us to send troops, we will send troops. If we don't want us to send troops, we will keep stationed in Liaoyang."

The three of them nodded in agreement, and then Wanyan Fuxing and Zhang Qiyan looked at each other again. After nodding silently, Zhang Qiyan said this time: "In addition to reporting the war between Yan King Goryeo today, there is another thing that needs to be discussed with Yan King."

Ye Qing knew it very well, but he nodded and pretended not to know, "Mr. Zhang, just say it's okay. As long as I, Ye Qing, can do it, I will never refuse."

"That's right." Zhang Qiyan adjusted his sitting posture, and then hesitated: "It is a fact that our Great Jin Kingdom sent troops to Goryeo, and the hatred between us and the Great Jin Kingdom army must be difficult to resolve for a while. So... the matter of the former Empress Li Shier, the emperor means that he hopes to take advantage of the opportunity of Jin and Song countries to send troops to Goryeo together. Should we return the original Empress to me?"

"Are we going to send troops together?" Ye Qing said, "recommending the old story again", and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly sarcastic, which made Zhang Qiyan, Wanyan Fuxing, and Wanyan Bi feel a little abrupt and embarrassed.

Wanyan Xun wanted to take advantage of Ye Qing's arrival in Liaoyang again to bring Li Shi'er back to his hands, thereby solving his only worries now.

But now, the matter of Li Shi'er is about whether to allow Song Ting to send troops to Goryeo, and whether to allow Song Ting to send troops to Goryeo seems to be tied up. Judging from Ye Qing's intention, he would rather not be allowed to send troops to Goryeo, so he refused to return Li Shi'er.

"But no matter what, I believe the King of Yan is also very clear that the Jin Dynasty and Song Zhihao are now a fait accompli. Shouldn't the King of Yan express their feelings to the Song court for our great Jin Kingdom?" Wanyan Fuxing frowned. The war in Goryeo is very important now, but it is also very important to return to the former queen Li Shier.

"If I hadn't wanted to express kindness to your country, how could I, Ye Qing, bring Li Shi'er with me?" Ye Qing picked up the teacup and said leisurely: "Now, Li Shi'er is in this mansion. She will not disappear out of thin air, and naturally she will not meet you. But you can rest assured that I, Ye Qing, have always paid attention to being kind to others. Queen Li Shi'er is with me, and I promise that I will never let her suffer any grievances. For this, please tell Wanyan Xun about this."

"This..." Zhang Qiyan opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Wanyan Fuxing and Wanyan Bi were also confused and couldn't figure it out. After Ye Qing said a few words, why... why did this happen like this? How did they worry about Li Shier's safety?

"Is the meaning of the King of Yan the underestimation..." Wanyan Bi tentatively calmly Ye Qing thought for a while, "Is the meaning of the King of Yan the King... As long as the emperor allows your country to send troops to Goryeo, will the King of Yan return the former queen Li Shier to us?"

"How can the two be confused? If this is true, wouldn't it seem like I, Ye Qing?" Ye Qing waved his hand and denied Wanyan Bi's guess. Lang Lang said: "It is to send troops to Goryeo. Returning the Queen is another matter. You must not be confused. But now... In my opinion, the time for return is not yet ripe. Besides, people are by my side now. Are you still afraid that I, Ye Qing, will you abuse the queen of your country?"

"It's the original Empress and King Yan." Zhang Qiyan was a little ashamed. If Ye Qing continued to say this, it would probably make it seem like they were trying to save Li Shi'er, and it was more like... it was like hoping that Li Shi'er would return to Huining to preside over the government.

If their meaning is really confused with Ye Qing's meaning, then for their current Great Jin Kingdom, there are obviously disadvantages but no benefits.

"If it were just a former queen, why should Wanyan Xun be so worried? Is it not okay to give it to me?" Ye Qing's words were full of all kinds of imaginative hints, which could be understood as Ye Qing is now greedy for Li Shier's beauty and unwilling to return it. It can also be understood as the bargaining chips given by the Jin Kingdom have not met Ye Qing's requirements, so Ye Qing still refused to return it.

The three of them seemed to be very rational and unreasonable when they faced such a scoundrel like Ye Qing, and they didn't know how to defend themselves for a while.

The three of them bit their lips and thought silently. In the end, Zhang Qiyan proposed that they could make a decision after reporting to Wanyan Xun.

Of course, the three of them knew very well that the reason why Ye Qing was stuck in the matter of refusing to return Li Shi'er was a large part of the reason why the Jin Dynasty was unwilling to send troops to attack Goryeo.
Chapter completed!
