Chapter 885: Sending King Qing

In mid-March of the second year of Shaoxi, the Song army continued to move eastward after defeating Xiqin Road. Yu Yunwen was like escorting Wanyan Jing on Jingzhaofu Road, but less than half a day away, he received Xiqin Road, Qingyuan Road, and the last Fengxiang Road behind him.

At the end of March, the army of 20,000 people finally watched Wanyan Jing lead more Jin officials, families, etc., and they didn't even have time to deprive the local wealthy families and snatch their last wealth, and crossed the Yellow River unwillingly.

So it lasted for less than a month, a small-scale war, mainly focusing on city occupancy, comfort and reception, but extremely costly, finally came to an end.

Apart from the initial sneak attack and frontal attack, Wanyan Jing did not bother to deal with the Song people. So when Mo Xiaobao gave up Lintao Prefecture and continued to go north, Wanyan Jing had already led everyone to retreat from Lintao Prefecture before Yu Yunwen's army arrived.

Li Zhongfang's army had been cruising west of Xiqin Road, guarding against the intention of the Xia people to cross the river. Mo Xiaobao followed the territory north of Xiqin, Qingyuan and Fengxiang Road, looking at the continuous Yinshan Mountains in the distance, and the golden and brilliant Yellow River under the sunlight under his feet, like a wild beast, and began to patrol his territory, guarding against the Tatars who might cross the river.

Although the Hua Family Army had only 3,000 people, such a powerful cavalry was enough to make Temujin think carefully. If Zhen crossed the river, not to mention how stalemate the relationship with Ye Qing would be. Even if they took the initiative for a while, as long as the Hua Family Army could not be completely wiped out by him, it would be possible that he would fall into a stalemate with Ye Qing, and the ones who would make a profit would be Zamuhe, the Jin people, and even the Xia people who were eyeing him.

So at this time, Temujin had to sigh long. Ye Qing occupied the time, place and good luck. The luck after the battle of Guanshan, especially the delicate time period, gave Ye Qing an extremely relaxed external environment to calmly seize and appease the people of the three routes of Hetao.

Temujin could only sigh in his heart, which was a pity, which moved his whole body. Wanyan Jing's impatience and the fatal consequences of recklessness at the beginning were particularly clear at this moment. Ye Qing's keenness and grasp of the current situation were also precisely worrying.

Temujin can always look at the open and secret struggle between Xia, Jin and Song from the perspective of the bystander. From the beginning, he chose to stay in the matter. In addition to the threat of Sang Kun, it was because he had not thought about being an enemy with Song for the time being, so he could see more clearly. Ye Qing occupied the three Hetao routes entirely because Wanyan Jing was too anxious.

Wanyan Jing gave up Hetao 3rd Routes when crossing the river. Because of the Sang Kun in his hand, he was afraid of being afraid of the rat, it was impossible to compete with Ye Qing for territory when Ye Qing occupied the Hetao 3rd Routes. Temujin was because of Wanyan Jing's loss of power. Because of the Sang Kun in Hetao 3rd Routes, he had to watch Ye Qing so calmly occupy Hetao 3rd Routes under his nose.

"It's God helping Ye Qing." Temujin looked at the endless Yinshan Mountains, looked at the surging Yellow River in the distance, and said with a wry smile and regret on the corner of his mouth. Then he led Borshu and Mu Huali back to the tribe, putting the matter of the three Hetao routes behind him, and began to concentrate on dealing with Zamuhe, intending to unify the grasslands, and then plot whether to revenge the Jin Kingdom or the Xia Kingdom in the west, or... Give Ye Qing a little warning to take down the Liao Kingdom?

In Temujin's view, Jin, Xia, and Liao, under the current situation, Ye Qing was beyond the reach of the Liao Kingdom, and what is even more commendable is that the conflict between the Northern Prefecture and the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom made him see at a glance that the Liao Kingdom was the best bone to gnaw at this time.

Ye Qing obviously didn't know what Temujin was planning at this time. After he was worried that Temujin would compete with him for several days, he felt relieved in Chang'an City, but then he had to sigh again, that is, now he was in a situation where no one was available.

Chang'an City is now a real empty city. Yu Yunwen, Liu Minxing and Liu Minxue took away many civil servants and all the army. Therefore, Ye Qing is actually in charge of the overall situation in Chang'an City.

Fortunately, with Guanshan being occupied by Li Heng steadily, after becoming the territory of the Song court in the west, north and east, even if it is Chang'an City, which has no soldiers to defend, it can be said to be safe for the time being. However, letting Ye Qing preside over the overall situation of Chang'an City obviously gave him a headache. After all, he would not be able to participate in every detail in the next reconstruction of Chang'an City.

But now, counting with his fingers and looking around, he still had no one in his hand to preside over the overall situation of Chang'an instead of Yu Yunwen, so Ye Qing had to hit King Qing.

Since the New Year, Duke Zhao Shichun of Chongguo has been busy dispatching most of the craftsmen in Yangzhou, and then looking for places suitable for firing cement and blue bricks in Chang'an City, so he has no time and energy to help Ye Qing preside over the overall reconstruction of Chang'an.

When King Qing Zhao Kai was sentenced to Ningguo Mansion, Zhao Xing had not abdicated at that time, so when Zhao Kai was in Ningguo Mansion, he could jointly manage Ningguo Mansion with the local prefect and pacifier, and during this period, he also left a good reputation in the hearts of the people.

It was only later that after Zhao Dun ascended the throne that Zhao Kai was sent back to Lin'an because he was worried about his younger brother's suspicion and his father Zhao Sheng's intention, and he was sent back to Lin'an, intending to live a life of a leisurely prince.

Zhao Ruyu took advantage of this and encouraged Zhao Kai. Since he didn't want to be suspicious of the emperor, King Qing might as well ask to go directly to Huainan East Road. In this way, the emperor must be very happy.

When Ye Qing stepped into the residence of Prince Qing, King Qing was teasing a bird in the cage. As today's atmosphere became warmer and warmer, Zhao Shichun was also busier and busier. In addition, everything on Hetao 3rd Road is in order at this moment. The entire Jingzhao Mansion and Hetao 3rd Road, the only people who can do nothing at this time are Ye Qing and the King Qing Zhao Kai in front of him.

Ye Qing's idleness lies in that as the Hetao Third Road was being included in an orderly manner by Song Ting, he only had a few words to explain in an understatement in the general direction. Moreover, Yu Yunwen, who already had the experience of seizing Jingzhao Mansion Road, was only a few external factors, as well as his control and judgment of the overall situation.

King Qing did nothing, and as everyone started to work hard, he was really doing nothing. He couldn't get involved in Zhao Shichun and could not help. Ye Qing didn't dare to interfere, let alone ask casually. The special nature of his identity was shackled, and he could only be idle like an unemployed vagrant. He brought two servants with him every day, either to go around the Chang'an City, which was already very familiar, or to be invited by Ye Qing, or Ye Qing came over to drink and chat with him.

Zhao Kai just asked Ye Qing, who walked in staggeringly, sat down in the yard. There was no wind today and the sun was shining. Sitting in the yard drinking tea and reading books, listening to the piano and talking to each other was a great enjoyment.

"King Qing is so elegant." Ye Qing looked at the sun-filled courtyard, and many flowers were already showing vitality. In the bird cages beside the wall, joy and crisp screams came from time to time. Several maids were walking around the courtyard at this time. The place where the sun was visited in the corridor was a beautiful woman playing the piano leisurely there.

The tea on the table in front of me was filled with a faint heat. Some fruits that were rare in the north, but the table was filled with refreshments in Lin'an and other places. This situation was a free and comfortable day like a god.

"Mr. Ye is making fun of me again?" Zhao Kai smiled awkwardly and said relaxedly.

At this time, of course, he had fully understood the purpose of Ye Qing asking him and Zhao Shichun to come to Chang'an, but seeing Ye Qing's administration of Chang'an City and his open and secret confrontation with the Jin emperor in just over a month, he unknowingly incorporated the three routes of Hetao into the territory of the Song court. In fact, he still admired Ye Qing more than was dissatisfied with him.

"How dare you?" Ye Qing was not polite, leaning against the back of the chair, sighing comfortably, looking at King Qing, who was like him, who was the most idle person in Chang'an City, squinted his eyes and said, "Duke Chong will come here later. It just so happened that the minister has something to discuss with you."

King Qing was stunned for a moment, and then puzzled: "I haven't seen Duke Chong for three days. Now he is so busy going out early and returning late. Why are you free today..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a maid and servant bowing to Zhao Shichun in front of the Chuhua Gate. He didn't expect that Zhao Shichun, who had been busy for the past few days, rushed to his mansion so quickly.

"You two are really idle. Look at the vast Chang'an City now. As I go along, the people of all counties are busy working in the farmlands. Even the people of Chang'an City, shops, etc. are all busy. Either they are talking about the war in the three routes of Hetao. You are just like idle people, always chatting so leisurely and peacefully." Duke Chong looked at the two "gods" basking in the sun in the yard from afar, and walked over and said.

Zhao Kai smiled unanimously, but now it is indeed a true portrayal of him.

Although Ye Qing is idle, no one knows that his idleness is based on the fact that he is not able to do anything he is busy with.

"I won't be idle tomorrow, and it's time for the hot public security to come. It seems that we will have a lot of money to make money again." Ye Qing stretched his waist and said, the woman in Honglou was getting stronger and stronger on the kang. She was tormenting too late last night and still had a little sore waist. In the morning, Bai Chun asked Bai Chun to massage herself. Bai Chun's woman actually said: Whoever made you so tired that she would look for this? Why did the soreness and weakness of the body in Honglou get you help me relieve your fatigue? In this way, it seems that to fight with the beauty Bai tonight, and try to let her massage herself with confidence.

"It took so long to come? The journey of Rela Gongji is too slow, right?" Zhao Shichun asked in surprise. He vaguely remembered that when Wanyan Jing left Chang'an, Ye Qing had already told Rela Gongji that he could come to Chang'an to talk to him. How could he delay the talk until now?

Ye Qing chuckled, looked at Zhao Shichun drinking by himself, and said, "Stay them in the Malu for more than half a month, otherwise, the west of Hetao Third Route could be so calm? Although there were Xia people who were on the bank of the Yellow River, they dared not cross the river. Do you think that relying solely on Li Zhongfang's army can shock them and prevent them from crossing the river? That's because, the hot and spicy military is in our hands, and they can only stand on the other side of the Yellow River, warning us not to be unfavorable to the hot and spicy military."

"Wouldn't it be great to stay in Chang'an?" Zhao Kai asked with his expression, feeling depressed and unhappy after having been free.

"Stay in Chang'an? If you stay in Chang'an, wouldn't he know that we are almost overeating after eating Hetao 3rd Road and can't even digest it?" Ye Qing said relaxedly: "But it's different now. Xiqin Road has been completely stable, and Qingyuan Road is almost the same. Now only Fengxiang Road is still a bit messy, so I'm not afraid of the hot Gongji bargaining with us."

Zhao Shichun nodded silently and asked, "Is there any urgent matter to come back in such a hurry? I still have many things waiting for me to decide. By the way, the famine people coming from the four routes of the north are still waiting for the resettlement of the surrounding counties. At this time, Yu Yunwen, Chang'an City, is not here, and you are not very responsible. This is not enough. Although those people are coming for our newly built workshops, if the workshop fails for a day, they can only eat food for disaster relief. If this continues, they will be empty. Before I came, I was in Lantian, and the magistrate was still complaining to me that even if there is food and the weather is getting warmer, it is not enough for him, a magistrate, to be able to make any decisions. So what are you going to do? Just waste Yu Yunwen back from Hetao 3rd Route?"

"It will take half a year to get out of the Hetao Third Routes at the earliest. It is not that easy to resettle the newly recaptured territory, reorganize the administration of various prefectures and counties, and appease the panic-inhabited people. Although this kind of dispatch is not as cruel as the war between the two armies, things are extremely complicated. If you want to sort out everything for a while, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Yu Yunwen to get out of the Hetao Third Routes this year." Ye Qing said, staring at the teacup on the table, with his ears being the sound of the piano as light as flowing water in the corridor.

"It's not possible to continue like this. You can't delay the Jingzhao Mansion because of the Hetao Third Road. Didn't you say that you still have to rebuild Jingzhao Mansion, but you still have to..." Zhao Shichun reminded seriously.

"Yes, so I hurriedly called you back, just to discuss with you, especially King Qing, and now King Qing will take charge of the overall situation in Chang'an?" Ye Qing did not give Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai any psychological preparations, and made a straightforward suggestion.

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Zhao Shichun, who picked up the teacup and drank tea, began to cough sideways and choked. The orange in King Qing's hand fell on the table, and then rolled down the table.

"What? Have any objections?" Ye Qing asked innocently.

Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, King Qing's identity was special enough, and coming to Jingzhao Mansion was already a ruthless person. If it was the dispatch of the Lord Chang'an City, then if it was passed to Lin'an, the matter would not be so simple that they had to do because of the situation.

The meaning and influence behind King Qing’s ruler Chang’an City will make Lin’an City feel like it is a slight silence. I have to wonder if King Qing intends to use this to win over the people, increase his prestige and influence, and pave the way for future "big events"?

"This..." Zhao Kai was shocked, but while he was nervous, he still had a hint of eagerness to try.

Zhao Shichun seemed much more solemn than Zhao Kai. He lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time. He didn't care anymore. In Yangzhou, he saw hope in Ye Qing, and in Chang'an, he saw Ye Qing's confidence in facing the Jin people.

Therefore, he spared no effort to help Ye Qing because he believed that Ye Qing could ensure that the Song court in the south would not be destroyed by war and could also enable the people to live a good life. Therefore, this distant relative of the royal family helped Ye Qing.

But King Qing is different. If King Qing helps Ye Qing, and once Ye Qing becomes nervous with the Song court, for example, if something like Guanshan happens again, who can guarantee that if Ye Qing, who has been completely south of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is fully developed and consolidated into a world, will he really rebel against the court, or will he be like today, disagree with the court?

At that time, King Qing was the biggest bargaining chip in Ye Qing's hand, which made Song Ting's Lin'an jealous and dared not easily provoke Ye Qing, a prince.

"This is a last resort. There was a master Liu Ke who could temporarily replace it, but now in Lin'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. Chang'an is now in a lot of things. I will start negotiations with Hot Public Security tomorrow. This matter will have to be discussed for at least one month, or even two months. I can afford it, but different people around me can afford it, let alone... they are innocent, aren't they?" Ye Qing sighed and said helplessly at the two people who were silent.

Zhao Shichun pondered for a while and began to fully understand the purpose of Ye Qing's hastily come back, but only let him express his attitude in front of King Qing, and then play a role in promoting King Qing's decision.

"There is also a matter of King Qing's own decision, but no matter how King Qing decides, I will strongly support King Qing. Of course, if King Qing is worried, you can also check with me about the disaster victims in several counties around Chang'an. Xin Qiji prevented them from going north to escape, and the war had just stopped, so the fugitives from the four routes of the north are either going south or fleeing to Jingzhao Prefecture. For the sake of the people, I support King Qing." Zhao Shichun looked at Ye Qing's fingers habitually tapping the tabletop. At the end, he found a good reason for King Qing.

"When I was in Ningguo Mansion, I had been in charge of the government with the prefect and the appeasement envoy... But now I am afraid that I will not be able to..." King Qing said hesitantly.

"As long as King Qing is willing to help, no matter how far he does, in my opinion, as long as he is worthy of the people of the world, it is enough." Ye Qing said seriously.
