Chapter 711: Exploring the Court
Ye Qing was surprised and happy by Ye Qing's sudden appearance. In advance, Ye Qing was not prepared at all, knowing that Yelu Yue would come to Jinan Prefecture.
After Wanyan Shoudao and Wanyan Kuang left, Ye Qing has now temporarily lived in the mansion left by Wanyan Kuang. After taking Yelu Yue to the mansion, Mo Xiaobao and others were obviously suffering a lot on the grassland under Tieyi's command. Looking at Yelu Yue's smiling smile, he immediately hurriedly apologized and gave the two people who had not seen each other for a long time.
The moment he closed the door, Mo Xiaobao's after seeing the light of his eyes, Yelu Tieyi, who could control the army in the grassland, had a flash of blush and shyness on his cheeks, and was tightly held in his arms by Lord Ye.
In the next few days, not to mention that Wanyan Yongji has not been able to wait for Ye Qing to play chess with him, even Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Jia She have difficulty seeing Ye Qing alone in the past few days. Every time he sees Ye Qing, there is always a beautiful woman who is looking at him affectionately.
After the Shangyuan Festival, Xin Qiji, who was originally in Xuzhou, began to move, and his purpose was naturally to go straight to Nanjing Road.
Just as Ye Qing guessed that Dong Chao gave information, whether it was Sangkun, Temujin, or Zadaran, his covetousness of Wuzhou Black Stone completely exceeded Wanyan Jing's expectations. With insatiable greed, the Tatar tribe on the grassland was obviously not satisfied with the little black stone given by Wanyan Jing for free, even though they had already relied on the black stone to spend the cold winter.
But as the saying goes, the Tatars on the grassland have learned their lessons and know the necessity of reserved black stones when the weather is warm, or even before.
The urgent situation in Wuzhou forced Wanyan Jing, who was on the thick ice layer of the Yellow River, to begin to shake his tough stance in front of Ye Qing, and he vowed to never give up on Nanjing Road and Kaifeng Prefecture's tough stance.
Although Wanyan Shoudao had just been defeated, in order to make the officials in the court believe that under his rule, Wanyan Jing still sent Wanyan Shoudao to Wuzhou without hesitation.
Ye Qing, who had been inseparable from each other for several days, finally walked out of the room with his old waist alone. After handling the matter at the Jinan Prefecture Office, he had just returned to the mansion and appeared in front of Ye Qing.
Yelu Yue, who was finally fed to her these days, looks more and more bright and bright, just like the flowers after a long drought, it is so beautiful that it makes people dare not look at it directly, and it is so bright that it makes people move.
"I know who you are here, but... I don't think you have the ability to intimidate them. Yelu Yuanyi is cunning, suspicious by nature, and has always been slick. He has done a lot of things that don't work hard. If you want to let them return to Daliao without any consequences, I'm afraid that the harm will outweigh the benefits." Ye Qing took the tea from Yelu Beauty, bit his lip and said.
"But if Yelu Yuanyi was in Daliao, even if he could not be used by me, he would not be used by Xiao Wuli, right?" These days, his gentle eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, but at this moment, Yelu Yue's eyes were filled with a hint of worry.
Looking at Yelu Yue, he sighed: "I know if you don't say it, you know that something happened to your aunt, right?"
Yelu Yue was startled and asked in surprise: "How did you know? Send someone to monitor me?"
"Good things don't go out, bad things go thousands of miles away. If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself." Ye Qing continued to sigh, but he felt a little ridiculous in his heart. Perhaps one day, his affairs with Li Fengniang will become a well-known scandal.
"What do you know?" Yelu Yue didn't like Ye Qing's frowning look, so she stretched out her arms and helped Ye Qing smooth her forehead and asked.
"Your aunt Yelu Pusuwan is afraid that your brother-in-law Xiao Pushali... is Xiao Duolubu dead?" Ye Qing looked at Yelu Yue's warning gaze, and had to save the middle part and ask.
Yelu Pusuwan started talking about the government affairs when he started to talk about the regent, but the woman actually hooked up with her brother-in-law. In the end, the two of them jointly murdered her husband, Xiao Pushali's brother.
This led to the Liao Dynasty's Southern Court King Xiao Oli, who was the father-in-law of Yelu Pusuwan, surrounded the palace in anger, threatening to kill two people, avenge his eldest son, and to support Yelu Yue's younger brother Yelu Zhilugu as the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this incident, coupled with Qu Chulu's bewitching and temptation of Yelu Zhilugu that the Great Liao Dynasty eventually destroyed the country.
"Yes, do you have any better solutions?" Yelu Yue asked in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid Yelu Yuanyi will become the second Qu Dulu. Now I don't need to say whether Qu Dulu is a wolf's ambition. You can see clearly on the grassland in the past few years. Although Yelu Yuanyi can restrain Xiao Wuli,... I'm really afraid that this will lead the wolf into the house. The consequences at that time... you can't bear it." Ye Qing said seriously to Yelu Yue.
Even if he could understand Ye Qing's concerns and intentions, Yelu Yue's only way to think of was to bring back Yelu Yuanyi and his son, and then use the two to restrain the angry Xiao Olis. This would not only protect the life of his aunt, but also prevent the Liao royal family from continuing to be in chaos.
Although she is now in charge of the Northern Palace with the support of her aunt, she is not as rational as Xiao Oli's sect. Moreover, in order to win the support of the people of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Oli's sect has spread the royal scandal everywhere regardless of her face. This makes it difficult for Yelu Yue to fight against Xiao Oli's sect in reason, so she can only temporarily shock Xiao Oli's sect and dare not move Yelu Pusuwan and Xiao Pushali at will.
"I don't agree." Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Take Xiao Pushali, and then ask your aunt and Xiao Oli to give in. Your aunt gives in to your younger brother Yelu Zhilugu."
"Impossible." Yelu Yue shook her head and murmured: "Xiao Oli's slap is determined, Xiao Pushali will definitely die. My aunt gave up her younger brother is second. What Xiao Oli's slap him in his heart is still his aunt's life. If he cannot take revenge, for Xiao Oli's slap him loudly in front of the world, he will not endure this anger."
Ye Qing sighed helplessly. These are the only ones who can help Yelu Yue. Moreover, for Yelu Yue, this is the matter of her Great Liao Kingdom. Ye Qing was able to give her advice because of her affection for her.
"What else can I help you?" Ye Qing asked, looking at Yelu Yue, who seemed to have made up his mind.
Yelu Yue has been in charge of the Northern Prefecture for many years. He is naturally much harder than others, otherwise he would not be known for his iron fist to govern the army. So Ye Qing also knew that even if he was tired of his mouth, he might not be able to change Yelu Yue’s next thoughts and decisions.
"I still want to take Yelu Yuanyi back. After all, they were the Great Liao royal family of that year..." Yelu Yue said firmly.
"It is precisely because they are the royal family of the Liao Dynasty that they are more dangerous and are more likely to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, so that the fisherman can benefit." Ye Qing interrupted Yelu Yue and said.
"The Reinforcement Army is not a vegetarian! If you want to covet the throne of the Great Liao Dynasty, it depends on whether he can pass the level of my Yelu Yue!" Yelu Yueying said coldly with a full spirit: "Twenty thousand Wuli Army can shock Xiaowuli Ting not to move around. How could he be afraid of a traitor royal family?"
"The Flower Planting Army..." Ye Qing turned his fingers in his heart and thought about letting Yelu Yue take Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can away. Is the remaining people at his hands enough to guard these regained territory?
"No." Yelu Yue seemed to have known what Ye Qing was thinking for a long time, and refused to say without thinking.
"I..." Ye Qing was speechless.
"Your feelings..." Yelu Yue's cheeks turned shy and red in an instant, completely different from her heroic and cool look just now: "If one day... I'm gone, I just want you to remember me in your heart!"
"There won't be this day." Ye Qing grabbed Yelu Yue's hand and said.
With this conversation with Yelu Yue, Ye Qing fell into a busy life again. Wanyan Jing finally did not resist the importance of Ye Qing's words and had to start voluntarily withdrawing from the Jin army on Nanjing Road.
As Wanyan Jing's letter arrived at Ye Qing, there was also the ninth imperial edict from the court, which was still called Ye Qing back to Lin'an to celebrate the merits. As for the next matters of the Shandong two routes, the decree was very generous, and Ye Qing was the only one who decided. In these days, the court would not ask about anything about the Shandong two routes and Lizhou routes.
"What should I do now?" Li Heng's injuries have healed a lot these days, and he also saw Yelu Yue who had not seen him for many years. Looking at Yelu Yue's blushing face, Li Heng couldn't help but raise his middle finger several times in his heart.
There is no way, this is the gesture when he and Liu Lan'er were together, every time someone disgusted himself.
"What should I do?" Ye Qing glanced at Li Heng with a squint, and then said lightly: "Of course, it is because there are still Jin bandits in the two routes of Shandong, and there are endless rebellions from all over the country, so we cannot return to Lin'an at this critical moment. By the way..."
Ye Qing put down the teacup, stroked his chin for a long time, then made up his mind and said, "I put a condition with the court in the memorial: I, Ye Qing, wanted to quell the remnants of the Jin bandits from both sides of Shandong, and I am afraid I will no longer be able to take charge of Huainan East Road. Please choose someone else..."
"Are you crazy? The court has not mentioned anything. Why do you mention him? If you think there are too many official positions, then you can give me one!" Li Heng widened his eyes. There was no one else in the room except Yelu Yue, so he naturally spoke much more casually, and he didn't have to worry about Ye Qing's majesty at all.
"You know...hammer!" Ye Qing looked at Li Heng disdainfully, and knocked on the imperial decree: "Did I mention my position in Shandong two routes in this decree? No? Doesn't the court know what it means to be justified? But in this decree, the court just pretended to be generous and said that he would no longer ask about the official missions in Shandong two routes, but... in what name did I send the imperial court to mention it?"
"But... I'm quitting you..." Li Heng said before his head turned around.
"Retreat as advance, this is his test of your Song Ting's bottom line." Yelu Yue continued without waiting for Ye Qing to speak, "It seems that he is resigning from his official position, but in fact he wants greater power. As for... he will not give up on Huainan East Road!"
"What does this mean?" Li Heng said blankly.
"If the court dared to dismiss his official position as the pacifier of Huainan East Road, then the court would definitely send Ye Qing again. Now Ye Qing is in Shandong. Is it still unclear?" Yelu Yue said with a smile on his face today.
"Oh..." Li Heng suddenly realized: "You want to be the vassal envoy of Shandong two routes, but you can tell the court directly, after all, Shandong two routes are you..."
"You guy, no wonder you were driven out of the position of the Imperial City Command so soon in Lin'an. Are you full of water in your mind? Come on, shake your head, let me hear if there is any sound of water." Ye Qing said angrily, then glanced at Yelu Yue and said, "If it was just for the two routes in Shandong, why should I spend such a big battle?"
Before the two of them could speak, a sneer appeared on Ye Qing's lips and said, "I don't want to lose Shandong Road, Lizhou Road, Nanjing Road, and Huainan East Road, but what I lack now is people and talented talents! Even if I really want to resign, the court now dares not criticize him. So, if Ye Heng returns to Lin'an, just change with Xiao Zhen."
"Xiao Zhen? Xiao Zhen, the governor of Lin'an Prefecture?" Li Heng said in surprise.
"No," Ye Qing dipped his hands into tea and slowly wrote on the table: "Now that there is Yu Yunwen guarding Jingzhao Prefecture, it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. Xin Qiji is now heading north. Kaifeng Prefecture will definitely be in his pocket as the Jin people retreat north. What should I do with this Jinan Prefecture? If I return to Lin'an, will I leave it to you Li Heng?"
"I'll forget it. The intrigues in the officialdom are more scary than the open and secret battles on the battlefield. I'd better regain lost territory for my Song Dynasty like Wu Jue. As for the comforting and other things, you'll give it to whom you're willing to."
Yelu Yue looked at Ye Qing without saying a word, her face was like a fox she met in the wild. She looked so cunning and treacherous, and she looked like a slander, not a pillar of the court.
"Mo Xiaobao, when will Zhong Can come back? It's almost two days, right?" Yelu Yue asked when Li Heng scratched his head and walked out, and started looking for someone to polish his face. Ye Qing was about to report the court's memorial just now, and looked up and asked.
"I should be back in the next few days. Yelu Yuanyi is too cunning. If he wants him to take the initiative to walk out of Tai'an Prefecture, a nest he has been under for many years, it would not work without a tough way." Ye Qing sighed and said.
Yelu Yuanyi was indeed cunning and suspicious. When facing Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, he always shook his head and was unwilling to leave Tai'an Prefecture to go to Jinan Prefecture. In his opinion, as long as he left Jinan Prefecture, life and death would be unwilling to do so. It was equivalent to stretching his neck to Ye Qing. Being killed and cut was determined by Ye Qing's mood.
Similarly, the few troops guarding Tai'an Prefecture were all the generals of Yelu Yuanyi in that year, or descendants of the generals. Therefore, compared with the Jin people under other guards, Yelu Yuanyi's subordinates had no doubt about their personal loyalty to him, and this was also the reason why Yelu Yue wanted to win over Yelu Yuanyi.
The troops of more than 10,000 people are not big in Shandong, where wars are constantly happening, but if they are in the Great Liao Kingdom, if the Wuli Army has the new force of this ten thousand people, they will naturally be more calm when they restrain and shock Xiao Wuli.
"In this way, Lord Yelu can't believe in my Lord Ye's character?" Mo Xiaobao asked with a sneer.
Yelu Yuanyiwei only smiled bitterly and said to himself: Now, who dares to say something wrong in front of Ye Qing? But if you want to say that, when your Lord Ye was in Tai'an Prefecture a New Year, he sneaked into the cavalry and left without saying goodbye, thus preventing Wanyan Jing from entering Nanjing. Such a cunning guy, how do you make me believe that he will not harm me?
"It seems that Lord Yelu doesn't believe in the combat power of the army under my family. My family had been recuperated in Tai'an Prefecture, which was under Lord Yelu, so my family would ask the last general to treat him with courtesy and come to invite Lord Yelu. But if Lord Yelu is unwilling to give me this opportunity to repay kindness, we will not be able to go back and report, so we can only..." Zhong Can said in a threatening tone.
"Okay, I'm going. But... I want Lord Ye to write a letter and say that he won't kill me..." Yelu Yuanyi gritted his teeth and said.
