A person's ambitions, or his various behaviors, may have a great relationship with the general environment he lives in. Under the urgency of the situation, the way of heaven is impermanent and the world is unpredictable. No one will know which direction he will develop in his life.

Ye Qing looked at the white hair in the yard, and naturally felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Every time he saw the Zhao Song royal family in the north take the initiative to toast him, he would look at the old man in front of him and sigh.

When they were born one by one, they were like having a golden spoon in their arms. They thought they would be rich and powerful for the rest of their lives, but who would have thought that their life would be so great that the iron cavalry of the golden men would make them the most pitiful group of people in the world.

Ye Qing shook his head slightly, without even speaking, and could make these seven pairs of bright eyes dim in an instant. The royal family they hoped for would obviously never remember their existence, and they would no longer have any connection with the royal family.

However, Ye Qing now has to be forced to do so. Zhao Gou used himself to get rid of these people, but he obviously had to leave their lives as bargaining chips in order to save his life.

But now... as Ye Qing's own situation becomes more and more difficult, Ye Qing has to continue to prepare for the future to use these Zhao Song royal family left among the people.

When he first arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ye Qing only wanted to stay in Bai Chun'an and live his life quietly and live a simple life, but no one expected that the Southern Song Dynasty court forced his life to become more and more bizarre.

With Zhao Gou's intervention, out of human instinct, Ye Qing also had the mentality of taking a step back and broadening the sky and being at ease with a small wealth. He has power and power in the Imperial City Office and can also use his power for personal gain. If he can be in danger of his life, he is willing to live like this for the rest of his life.

But the situation forced his thoughts to turn from ideals to dreams, and dreams that were not easily touched gradually became like ideals.

Ideals and dreams. In Ye Qing's view, ideals can be achieved through hard work, not out of reach, but dreams are relatively far away. To realize them, it is not possible to rely on hard work. Adding up factors such as the right time, place, and people, dreams may still be out of reach.

I remember that night with Zhong Qing was nestled in the quilt, hugging the person in his arms and sighing: This is his favorite time, but Zhong Qing said: Your current situation is very similar to Yue Pengju.

"Why?" Ye Qing was stunned. He felt that the path he was taking was very similar to Qin Hui's path of selling his country and seeking prosperity back then. He unexpectedly turned into a situation like Yue Fei in Zhong Qing's mouth.

"Because the court doesn't like you, it's just like I didn't like Yue Fei at the beginning." Zhong Qing gently stroked Ye Qing's solid chest and teased her gently.

Ye Qing laughed silently. Why didn’t he be favored by Zhao Gou? Now he still attracts Jin people.

However, when he set out from Yangzhou to Sizhou, even on the way to Haizhou, Ye Qing would occasionally think about what Zhong Qing said, his current situation was like Yue Fei's words.

I am not a loyal person, but I was forced to die by the court. I am not a treacherous minister, but I have to go against the Jin people.

So Ye Qing believed in his heart that he was now in Yue Fei's situation at that time, walking the same path as Qin Hui.

He was not Yue Fei, so he did not have the traditional Confucianism of the ruler, minister, father and son who had been loyal to the king and the country, nor did he have the iron law that the ruler wanted his ministers to die, and his ministers had to die, shackled him.

He was not Qin Hui, so whether it was Jin or Song, in his heart, the great harmony of the Chinese nation and the mountains, rivers and territories of China.

It was just that he had arrived in Lin'an by chance, so if he had traveled to the Jin Kingdom at that time, then... Ye Qing was a little reluctant to think about it. If he had traveled to the Jin Kingdom, then should he regard Jin as a country or Song as a country?

But no matter what, he needs to give himself a reason, a reason to convince himself, and to convince himself that in order to be able to live, he will be a slander and powerful minister who Li Fengniang scolds him every day.

It is obviously not easy to become a slander, so if Ye Qing doesn't want to return to Lin'an and wants to dominate his own life, then he has to dominate the life of the Zhao Song royal family.

The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was already in a general trend. Lizhou Road, Jingxi South Road, and Huainan West Road were ready for war. Han Tuozhou and Yu Yunwen must have to lead their troops north, and he obviously could not wait for death to continue waiting for the court to force him.

Therefore, no matter how the imperial court issued an order at that time, he would have to participate in the Northern Expedition. Whether it was to stop the war or establish his authority through war, in short, in Ye Qing's opinion, if he wanted to avoid being at the mercy of the court, he would have to make himself stronger through war and make the court dare not move him easily.

This was also his purpose in Haizhou. He used the Zhao Song royal family in the north in front of him to become a weapon for Ye Qing to fight against the Northern Expedition and win over the hearts of the people in the northern region.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the Zhao Song royal family in the north were still reluctant to leave Ye Qing. Even though they knew that they really could not return to the Song court and live a wealthy and noble life, they were still full of gratitude for Ye Qing.

After all, even if you live alone, it is better than death. Otherwise, under the humiliation of Jin Ting, they should have committed suicide like the empress Qinzong who could not bear the humiliation.

Watching Ye Qing and others leave, among the seven members of the Zhao Song royal family, Zhao Xun, the youngest, closed the door and ran into the room they often gathered on weekdays until Ye Qing's carriage disappeared. He looked at the worry between the eyebrows of the six people in front of him and couldn't help asking: "Do you think it is feasible that Ye Qing's Northern Expedition to the court, let us win over the hearts of the people in the north in the name of the Zhao Song royal family?"

Emperor Ning Fu took a hook on his lips and sneered disdainfully, and then said: "If the imperial court could defeat the Jin people, we would have been imprisoned by the Jin people for so many years? The Northern Expedition of the Song court was a joke after all."

"It's not entirely true. If it were as Ye Qing said, the court had been preparing for many years this time, and it was not better to fight without declaring it, so it was impossible to have some chance of winning..." Zhao Bing, Duke of Changguo, said a different view.

"We have no chance of winning, but now... we come to the door, so what if we don't agree? Then Ye Qing is a kind and soft-hearted person? At this age, he has reached the high position of prefect and comfort envoy all the way. If he wants to continue climbing up and stand more steadily in the court, he naturally has to fight for his achievements in the Northern Expedition. Let's wait for others to come and go wherever we go." Duke Wen Zhao Dong sighed, obviously he had already accepted fate indifferently.

Needless to say, there was a lot of sighs in the room. They were now out of nowhere to go, let alone since Ye Qing dared to tell them clearly, he naturally was not afraid of them running away. Besides, even if they wanted to run away, the world was so big, and where could they run?

"Zhao Gou asked Ye Qing to kill us back then. Have you forgotten what happened in Zhongmiao Town?" Emperor Hua Fu glanced at the people in the room and sighed, and then continued: "Maybe Ye Qing had a charity heart and had some ministers in his heart. He was unwilling to bear the charge of murdering the Zhao Song royal family, so he secretly placed us in Haizhou. But now, I guess... Humph, Ye Qing was afraid that he was a slander. He might have thought of himself as a king and becoming a traitor in the Song court."

"Then...what should we do?" Zhao Xun had been doing so many years, but he still didn't have much backbone. He asked at the six brothers and sisters in front of him who were much older than him.

Duke Wen Zhao Dong sighed, and after looking at the other people in the house, he thought for a while and said, "We can't go back to Song Ting. I'm afraid that Ye Qing will know it as soon as we walk out of this house now. When Zhao Gou sent Ye Qing to kill us to silence us, it was Zhao Gou who couldn't bear it. Why do we have to be righteous to him? In my opinion, if he could follow Ye Qing in the north and recover several cities along the way, he, Ye Qing, had to support us to win over the people's hearts for him. In this way, wouldn't it be much better than being here?"

"That's true, and even if the Northern Expedition failed, our old bones are insignificant. Who would take us seriously? Instead of staying in this way, it's better to listen to Ye Qing's. It's hard to say that he can really get rich and well-behaved." Zhao Tong, Duke Yi, who had never spoken, spoke up with Duke Wen Zhao Dong's proposal.

There was a sigh in the room again, but it was a little easier than when I came just now. In a short while, it sounded one after another: "That's all."

"Even if we are reluctant, how could Ye Qing follow us?"

"After so many years of humiliation and suffering, if I can really follow Ye Qing in the northern expedition, I will not seek to regain some cities and enjoy wealth and prosperity. As long as I can watch the Jin soldiers die under the sword of Song Ting, I, Zhao Ling, will die with peace of mind."

Zhao Xun looked at the few people blankly, and for a moment, his heart was filled with a confused unknown, not knowing where he should go.

In the chaotic times, fate is difficult to arrange. The wandering life and the humiliating days make Zhao Xun just want to live his life quietly.

I originally thought that such a poor and even a little hard and ordinary life could last for him without any disturbance from the world and the world, and just let him spend his life in a simple way, but now it seems that such days are a luxury for him.

The fate of the people in the world is obviously not in the hands of the heavens, but in the hands of a few courtiers like Ye Qing.

This is the feeling that Zhao Xun silently summarized in his heart when he walked out of the room. Similarly, it also made his heart full of gratitude for Ye Qing for not killing him, and also full of hatred for making him continue to live a wandering life.

Dong Chao was very excited along the way. He wanted to wait for the southern army to go north when he became a bandit. However, the Song court was like a weasel. Not only was it not as powerful as a northern expedition, but it never could give the people in the north hope. Therefore, while the people were eager to see each other, it naturally brought endless disappointment to the Song court.

But this time Dong Chao seemed particularly excited and full of confidence. For him, he had never experienced the Northern Expeditions that year, nor did he know what happened in the Song court, which made every Northern Expedition very loud and thunderous, and he could not achieve any effect, and ended in failure.

But now he believes that under Ye Qing's leadership, they will definitely succeed.

After all, he has been moving in the north over the years, just to make all preparations for the Northern Expedition.

"How many people are there in Yanjing now?" Ye Qing suddenly asked in the carriage.

"There are quite a lot of people in Yanjing, and now the number of people has been controlled at about 300. If there are fewer people, I am afraid that there will be no response to each other. If there are many, I am afraid that the Jin people will find abnormalities." Dong Chao, sitting on the shaft of the car, hurriedly turned around and said to the carriage.

"You can put other things on the table, but Yanjing must not make any mistakes. Wanyan Yong made Wanyan Jing the crown prince, which is enough to show that he could not choose a better candidate among the royal children of the Jin Dynasty. If Wanyan Yong passed away, Wanyan Jing would probably be unable to convince the public after ascending the throne. Therefore, if Song Ting had enough determination to make the Northern Expedition this time, he would have a chance to take advantage of the unstable situation in the Jin Dynasty to recover most of the country." Ye Qing said thinking.

Dong Chao was obviously much more optimistic than Ye Qing. He laughed and said, "No wonder Wanyan Yong suddenly recruited you personally. This is obviously to ask you to assist Wanyan Jing. I know that I don’t have much time left. This is."

Zhao Qier in the carriage glanced at Ye Qing, who looked strange, and then breathed out: "I think I should give Wanyan Yong some hope and hold him back."

"Hmm? What does it mean?" Ye Qing turned his head and asked.

"If you have been unwilling to pay attention to Wanyan Yong's personal recruitment, Wanyan Yong will definitely put pressure on Song Ting. At that time, I am afraid that Song Ting will not be able to withstand Wanyan Yong's pressure and will cause you something else. If you want to return to Huainan East Road, it will be even more troublesome, right?" Zhao Qier said with a serious expression.

"Ye Heng, we don't know what Bai Bingzhong's purpose is here, but it's certain that restraining me from taking money from Huainan East Road is bound to be one of them." Ye Qing took a deep breath, then lifted the curtain and looked at the sky outside. He said a little heavy: "This time I'm not afraid of any troubles in the court. What I'm afraid of... What should I do if Wanyan Yong put down his figure and came to Huainan East Road in person?"

Ye Qing's eyes were like a knife, and even in the dimmer carriage, it seemed like a sharp flash passed by.

Zhao Qier was shocked, looked at Ye Qing with a daze, and suddenly asked, "Are you moved? You won't be really moved by Wanyan Yong's sincerity, right?"

Ye Qing laughed silently, shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly and powerlessly: "I am moved by the position of Taishi in the Jin Kingdom who is waiting for the position of the Jin Kingdom? After all, Wanyan Yong is old and probably not a few years old. If I invest in the gold now, whether it is Wanyan Yong or Wanyan Jing, I will definitely give the position of Taishi with both hands. If I only assist Wanyan Jing for a few years, then Ye Qing will be more than one person in the Jin Kingdom. As for the cowardly arrogance of the Song Court every day, the court and Zhao Gou are so cowardly?"

Zhao Qier stared blankly at Ye Qing in the dim carriage, and even Dong Chao and Bun Dou'er who were driving outside, listening to Ye Qing's words, couldn't help but feel a little moved.

After all, compared to the Northern Expedition in the Southern Song Dynasty, we must be wary of the predicament of stabbing our own people in the back. If Ye Qing really went to the Jin Kingdom, it would be like a step into the sky and a great minister.

Once Wanyan Yong dies and Wanyan Jing ascends the throne, Ye Qing, the "Taishi" who has been the chief grandson of the Jin Kingdom for several years, who dares to compete with him in the Jin Kingdom?

And then, even the Song Ting, who is so cowardly that he is plotting against him every day, and even the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, even the current emperor, will he be respectful if he meets Ye Qing!

Looking at the at a loss in the carriage, Dong Chao and Broadbean outside the carriage were silent, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Who told me to be born in the Song court? After all, it was my homeland. Even if I die, Ye Qing should die as a minister of the Song Dynasty. He does not seek to leave a name in history, but seeks to be worthy of his heart. No matter how the court or colleagues view me, he treats me, Ye Qing, but Ye Qingsheng is a minister of the Song Dynasty and a citizen of the Song Dynasty."

Ye Qing didn't know that his words, the ministers of the Song Dynasty and the people of the Song Dynasty, would often be kept by him in the days to come, and in Li Fengniang's mouth, Ye Qing was always just the minister under her skirt.

The carriage slowly drove towards the inn that Dong Chao had already arranged. With Broadbean'er driving the carriage away, Dong Chao followed Ye Qing to the guest room on the second floor.

"Do you want to see Zhao Bingwen tomorrow?" Dong Chao knew that Ye Qing had come to Haizhou secretly this time and was not rich at all, so he took the initiative to ask.

"How are you in contact now? What does that batch of goods mean?" Ye Qing sat down in the room and signaled to Wu Jue to look around.

When he heard Ye Qing mention the goods, Dong Chao's mouth suddenly showed a hint of disdain, and then he said with a sarcastic tone: "Although Zhao Bingwen is from a literati, in the eyes of me, a thief from a turbulent family, he is just a hypocrite with a full voice of benevolence, righteousness and morality. That day in the wharf warehouse..."

Dong Chao gave Ye Qing a detailed account of Zhao Bingwen's move to the wharf that day, without mixing his own opinions. After all, it is best for Ye Qing to make the decision next.

"The literati have always been like this, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and full of thieves and prostitutes. But this is no wonder Zhao Bingwen. The salary of the Jin people is light, not to mention that they are so close to Huainan East Road. The officials on Huainan East Road are all rich, but their pockets are jingling, not to mention that they are literati, and their moral integrity is still there. Let's go directly to his mansion tomorrow, without knowing his arrival. I will give him a name to the priest in your name later." After thinking about it, Ye Qing thought it was better not to give Zhao Bingwen too much time to think too much. If you can talk about success, then... kill him!

In this way, we can also see what the Jin people will react, and whether they will send a minister who can be close to the Song Ting in a hurry.
