Chapter 750 Curtain
The sun had set in the west, and Ye Qing, who came out of Prince Qing's Mansion, could finally relax a little for the time being. Similarly, he also knew that there would be a tough battle waiting for him at today's palace banquet.
Yelu Yue, who followed Ye Qing, had a calm expression on her face, but her white forehead also wrinkled slightly. The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not choose to ride in the carriage, but walked in the sunset and headed towards the Lin'an Palace.
"What conditions do you use to exchange for his promise to help us?" Yelu Yue temporarily put the theory of hot and public welfare behind his mind, and first cared about what was happening in front of him.
"For Hot La Gongji, it is undoubtedly just a painting of cake to satisfy your hunger." Ye Qing stretched his long and yawned and continued: "There is a territory south of the Yellow River, with three territories such as Xiqin and Qingyuan ruled by the Jin Kingdom distributed. When I was in northern expedition to the fourth route of the North, the Xia people wanted to take advantage of the Jin people being restrained by us and lead their troops to attack. However, they did not expect that Yu Yunwen would harass the Jin people several times, and they would have captured Jingzhao Mansion Road in a very short time. It was precisely because Yu Yunwen occupied Jingzhao Mansion Road with thunder, which made the Xia people dare not blatantly capture the three Hetao Mansion Road, for fear that we would take the opportunity to get a bargain. So today, Hot La Gongji naturally threatened me with this, but how could the Jin people not beware of it? As the saying goes, two tigers will fight against each other, and I can sit in the mountain to watch the tiger fight."
"It's that simple?" Yelu Yue asked in confusion.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "As for the rest, it's not worth mentioning, just some small favors."
As he said this, Ye Qing was already worried about whether this unfounded four-nation alliance could support the four countries to lead their troops to Liao Kingdom, or... can this alliance form combat effectiveness and shock the Khwarezm people, so that they dare not to expedition easily.
After all, the interest relationship of this alliance is too complicated, just like a single blow that moves the whole body. Various interests are colluded with each other. Once one party has a different intention or a strange movement, it will inevitably involve the interests of the other three parties, and the so-called alliance will be collapsed and collapsed in an instant.
Internal strife has never been a characteristic that the Chinese lack. On the contrary, this characteristic is particularly obvious in the Chinese. However, it has to be said that the traditional charm and resilience of Central Plains culture can also magically make the various ethnic groups in the territory of China unconsciously bond together, and fight each other from time to time, but they will never be separated forever.
What Ye Qing has always pursued is a unity, a country with conflicts and different positions within China, rather than a country of different sizes like Europe, scattered with different sizes. Although it has been strong, its strong vitality has long been declining in later generations.
It is conceivable how powerful it would be if a Europe existed like the territory of China, and how small it would be if the territory of China was dispersed like Europe?
Ye Qing is very glad that he grew up on the land full of mysterious charm in the territory of China, and is also glad that this vast territory has its charm and cohesion that outsiders cannot understand. Even so, the direction of history will not always last forever.
If you want to last forever, at least on the land of the Chinese territory, there will naturally be no more regimes that can be scattered. One is actually enough!
The Liao envoy behind him followed behind the carriage and watched Ye Qing and Yelu Yue walking in the front from afar. Yelu Wangxiang's eyes were mostly placed on Yelu Yue's back. When looking at Ye Qing, his eyes became more elusive, and occasionally he could capture a trace of hatred and jealousy.
At Donghua Gate, Zhao Ruyu's carriage was parked beside him. He watched Ye Qing and Yelu Yue and other envoys slowly approaching, and then he took back his thoughts of the Queen of the Saint just now.
When Ye Qing and Yelu Yue were like childhood sweethearts, the invisible and intangible feelings between the two were pulling each other, Zhao Ruyu once again showed a meaningful smile, just like when he saw Zhong Qing and Ye Qing appearing at He Ningmen.
Ye Qing's brief introduction, Zhao Ruyu and Yelu Yue exchanged simple greetings, and then, under the leadership of the eunuch in the palace, Yelu Yue led his envoys of the Liao Kingdom to take the lead in walking to the palace where the Emperor of the Song Dynasty lived.
Zhao Ruyu and Ye Qing stood side by side. On the Imperial Street under the setting sun, there was still a lot of people and extremely lively. The cool autumn made people love travel more than the hot summer days before, so they stayed on the street for a longer time. However, the afterglow of the sunset was obviously not as long as summer, so they began to quickly fall below the horizon.
The last trace of red glow shone in the sky, and the drinking water from Donghuamen was flowing, and Zhao Ruyu organized his words. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to support Ye Qing as the Privy Council Privy Council's Privy Council's mission.
Although the emperor's words meant that Ye Qing was appointed as the Privy Councilor, Zhao Ruyu was more willing to believe that once Ye Qing was appointed as the Privy Councilor's mission, if he wanted to peel it off again, the court would have to act according to Ye Qing's expression.
Even Zhao Ruyu himself didn't know why he made such a judgment that he valued Ye Qing too much, but he still believed that once Ye Qing became the Privy Councilor, then... he would probably have no one to check or balance.
"Mr. Zhao now wants to ask Lord Ye if it counts?" Zhao Ruyu asked calmly.
Ye Qing turned his head in surprise, then thought about it, and realized that Zhao Ruyu came out of the palace and waited for him, rather than just preparing to enter the palace: "In this way, Duke Yi has seen the emperor who just returned from Gushan today?"
"Yes, the emperor summoned me as soon as he returned to the palace, Wang Huai and Han Cheng, so now, Wang Huai and Han Cheng know about this. Lord Ye must be prepared to be opposed by others tonight." Zhao Ruyu said lightly.
"What does Duke Yi mean?" Ye Qing asked.
"You and I have an appointment before, so I am naturally a gentleman to keep the appointment." Zhao Ruyu took a breath with some anxiety and said, "Now Lord Ye is before me, so I don't know if Lord Ye will still support me at that time?"
"Wang Huai?" Ye Qing smiled and said.
"Yes, just today, if you can get the help of Lord Ye, everything will be settled after tonight. The situation we have fought in Lin'an for many days will also lead to a result tonight." Zhao Ruyu nodded and said.
Now the situation in the Lin'an court has been completely concentrated on Wang Huai. As long as Wang Huai is taken away from the left prime minister's mission, whether it is active or passive, everything that follows will be a natural thing.
With Ye Qing's long talk with Zhao Xing at Gushan yesterday, and today Zhao Xing made up his mind to bet on whether he could leave his name in history and win over the reputation of the Zhao Song royal family on Ye Qing's decision to join forces with Jin, Xia, and Tatars, so the debate and undercurrents in the Lin'an court naturally followed the premise.
Nothing in this world that concerns power has ever existed alone. Even if they seem to be irrelevant, they all have inseparable connections and causal relationships.
As Ye Qing triggers the Game of Thrones switch here, it will naturally trigger other joints in the court, which will also affect the whole body, and suddenly all things will begin to be advanced to the stage of success.
"So, Lord Zhao has already discussed with Lord Han?" Ye Qing looked at Zhao Ruyu, who was confident and continued to ask.
Wang Huai is the reason, and Han Cheng is the result. After all, as long as Wang Huai's left prime minister is dismissed, Han Cheng will definitely make up for the gap as soon as possible, and Zhao Ruyu will immediately make up for the right prime minister left by Han Cheng, which will also trigger a chain reaction between the court and catch everyone off guard.
However, this kind of surprise to everyone was only targeted at officials from all walks of life and officials from various departments who were running for officials in Lin'an City some time ago. It had no effect on people like Zhao Ruyu, Han Cheng, Shi Miyuan and others, but it would only affect the dispatch of their respective party forces.
Zhao Ruyu nodded, which made Ye Qing nodded and responded, saying, "Okay, a gentleman's appointment, Ye is here to congratulate the right prime minister."
"So the first thing Lord Ye did when he entered the palace was to see the prince first." Zhao Ruyu smiled and said proudly.
"This is not a matter of worrying about Zhao Xiang, Ye knows it." The Duke of Yi in Ye Qing's mouth became Lord Zhao, and now he has become the right prime minister. Zhao Xiang claimed that he has also changed from me to Ye. It is enough to see that after today, their so-called gentleman appointment will come to an end.
Just like envoys from various countries, this time, neither Ye Qing nor Zhao Ruyu walked through He Ningmen, which was like the back door of the imperial palace, but all led from Donghua Gate to Lizheng Gate.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Lizhengmen, the main gate of the palace. Ye Qing took the lead in getting out of Zhao Ruyu's carriage. At this time, the sound of the evening drum sounded like the Yuanyou Armpitous Sky Statue standing above the Jiahui Gate. The melodious and heavy drum sounds have long been accustomed to people, but Ye Qing, who had not passed by Lizhengmen for a long time, still looked a little dazed.
"Mr. Ye's work back then, if it weren't for the Yuanyou Armillary Statistics, it would be difficult for the emperor to make a decision. This thing is based on the fate of our great Song Dynasty, which was created by the Supreme Emperor mentioned by the Emperor. Now some people say that it is precisely because of the completion of the Yuanyou Armillary Statistics that our great Song Dynasty welcomed the great situation of envoys from all over the four countries today, and the four routes of the north were recovered." Zhao Ruyu was half a step behind Ye Qing, standing beside him and sighed.
"Zhao Xiang means... This thing is a country-controlling object to my Song Dynasty, and Ye Qing has also achieved promotion?" Ye Qing raised a smile on his lips. In order to save his life and curry favor with Zhao Gou, he took over this major project with a tough start. Unexpectedly, it has stood still yet. It seems that his craftsmanship and the craftsmanship of the Song people are quite good.
And not only that, if it weren't for seeing this thing today, Ye Qing would probably find it difficult to believe that the life-saving thing that was back then had brought him a bright future today.
Before the two of them finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was remembered not far from the Ningmen behind them, and then one carriage after another slowly stopped at the Heningmen, headed by Han Cheng and his son, followed by Shi Miyuan and Shi Hao. Behind them are Dali Kingdom, Ziqi, Luo Dian, Temujin and others. The sedan and carriage are other officials of the Song Dynasty who are qualified to participate in today's palace banquet.
Han Cheng and Shi Hao just glanced at Ye Qing and Zhao Ruyu who were standing not far away, and then, under the guidance of the eunuch of the palace, slowly walked towards Lizhengmen. Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, Temujin, and Dali Prince Duan Zhilian, who were stunned for a moment, walked towards them with a smile. The other envoys and other Song court officials followed Han Cheng and Shi Hao, and also walked into the palace from Lizhengmen.
Seeing one by one entering Li Zhengmen, Ye Qing still had a faint smile on his face, and Zhao Ruyu's expression seemed much more solemn when facing Han Tuozhou.
After the few people greeted each other, Ye Qing looked up and down Temujin, who had changed into Song people's robe and frowned and said, "Who gave you the idea?"
As Temujin smiled and pointed at Shi Miyuan, a meaningful smile began to appear on Ye Qing's mouth. Before he could speak, Shi Miyuan said, "I'm just a pair of each other. I wonder if Lord Ye talks with King Wei Shao today at Yipin Tower?"
"Thank you, Lord Shi, for not disturbing me. Otherwise, how could there be today's fruit?" Ye Qing replied with a smile.
The tacit words made the smiles on both of them look particularly meaningful.
Han Tuozhou looked at Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing tacitly fighting the puzzle. Now he knew that Ye Qing would be sent by the emperor as Privy Councilor, which also made him have to re-examine the situation in the peace talks with Ziqi and Luodian. Should he continue to attack Ziqi, Luodian, and even Dali Kingdom in the future?
After all, only after your achievements are greater than Ye Qing, can you become a Privy Councilor or a Tongzhi Privy Councilor.
"I'm here to congratulate Lord Ye first." Han Tuozhou said coldly.
"So I must support you, Lord Han. As long as it is not too much, I, Ye, will never make things difficult for Lord Han. Even Lord Han can rest assured that behind you during the expedition, Ye promises you that there will be no villain secretly causing trouble." Ye Qing said at the end, his eyes looked at Shi Miyuan.
"Ye Qing, you..." Shi Miyuan couldn't help but point his hand at Ye Qing. This was clearly saying that the matter of confusing Dali Kingdom was mentioned again at this critical moment, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and provoked the deep grudges between him and Han Tuozhou.
"Do I have a name? Why should Lord Shi be so anxious to refute and clear it up? Could it be that Wang Xiang was secretly involved, and you could not participate?" Ye Qing's eyes swam from Shi Miyuan's face to Han Tuozhou's face, who suddenly frowned and thoughtful, and then freeze the face of Dali Prince Duan Zhilian.
Shi Miyuan, who was angry just now, was slightly stunned. Then, looking at Han Tuozhou, who was also thinking, and Zhao Ruyu, who was smiling, it became clear in an instant that Ye Qing's words were pointed out in front of the Prince of Dali: In addition to accepting bribes, Wang Huai also secretly colluded with Dali to support the battle between Ziqi and Luodian and Song!
"Then thank you Lord Ye." Han Tuozhou suddenly said this, then whispered a few times to Duan Zhilian, and then walked into the palace with Duan Zhilian first.
With Han Tuozhou and Duan Zhilian leaving, Zhao Ruyu followed alone not far behind and walked into the palace. Then Ye Qing and Temujin also began to walk into the palace side by side, leaving only Shi Miyuan behind, and were still wondering who would be the final winner after the palace banquet tonight.
