1102 Help
Zhu Xi finally arrived at Jinan Prefecture without Ye Qing's knowledge. It was just in the vast Jinan City. Zhu Xi was a little confused about how to find Ye Qing for a while, even though he had already found Ye Qing's mansion.
Chongguo Duke Zhao Shichun was famous in Yangzhou because of porcelain. Later, due to the expansion and renovation of Chang'an City, he built so-called bricks, cement, Poli and other kilns around him. Now he is helping Ye Qing rebuild a winery in Jinan. Although it is two different businesses for Zhao Shichun, he is familiar with it and is no problem at all.
King Wei Shao, Wanyan Yongji, and Zhong Can finally return from Yidu to Jinan Prefecture. Just as they arrived at Jinan Prefecture, news about the Jin people helping Song court and dealing with Yan Ning, a local tyrant in Yidu, even after word of mouth, they became a little stunned.
The news circulating in the streets and alleys sounds more like it is because local tyrants and Jin people want to communicate with foreign enemies to fight against Song, but in the end, local tyrants were betrayed by Jin people Wei and Song Ting.
Such news is like wings, and it is not something that Wanyan Yongji can stop it at all. Just like a locust passing through the border, after passing through a city, it will not only make the local tyrants in various prefectures and counties feel a little nervous, but also make the people begin to angrily scold the despicable and shameless Jin people.
It was precisely in this situation where the Jin people were betrayal that Xin Qiji began to receive some documents from various prefectures. He was originally in some difficult places in various prefectures, but now he became much more honest because of the Yidu Yanning incident. He even began to deal with the government sincerely and get close to it.
However, for Wanyan Yongji, in addition to being slandered by Ye Qing in this matter, there was also a piece of information that made him feel at ease, that is, Ye Qing might have expressed his sincerity in forming an alliance, or because he used Wanyan Yongji's guilt again, so in this alliance, Ye Qing showed a rare attitude of taking the initiative to seek peace in Yanzhou.
Ye Qing seriously took out the letter of alliance. Although it did not mention whether they would attack each other during the alliance, it was written in black and white: Once the Mongols clashed with the Jin people, the Song court would unconditionally come from the three Hetao routes, or even Xingqing Prefecture to send troops to restrain the Mongolians' use of troops. Even if the Jin people were willing, they would be willing to send troops to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to fight against Mongolia with the Jin army.
Such a formal letter to the Allied Kingdom is naturally indispensable for the seal of the current saint, and this is not a problem for Ye Qing. Therefore, for Wanyan Yongji, although the Yidu Yan Ning took the blame for Ye Qing's case, at least he also got the extremely wanted letter to the Allied Kingdom.
Of course, everyone knows the significance of this letter of nationality, not a shackle on both, but a forced force for both under the current situation. Once one side has a chance, it is also very likely to take the initiative to abolish the contract and then attack the other side.
But no matter what, at least Wanyan Yongji got what he wanted to bring back when he went on a mission to Jinan, so that he could face Wanyan Jing who had high expectations for him calmly.
When the Song and Jin Dynasty reached an alliance, the one who was most disappointed was the Mongols who also had great sincerity but did not form an alliance.
When Mu Huali and Bolshu learned about this, their faces were particularly gloomy, and their eyes were also filled with a faint murderous aura. Eight thousand cattle, sheep and horses were drifting like this, which was obviously unacceptable to them.
"I guess Ye Qing and Wanyan Yongji are both very happy now?" Mu Huali said coldly.
But Bolshu shook his head and said, "Maybe we will have the best chance when we say goodbye to Ye Qing."
Mu Huali raised her eyebrows, a little confused.
"The King of Song Tingqing and Duke Chong are in Jinan, and Ye Qing sent additional personnel to protect the inn the day after they arrived at the Jinan Inn. So I think Ye Qing must have discovered something, otherwise why would he send additional personnel to the inn of King of Qing and Duke Chong?"
"Can't it be Ye Qing's respect and pleasing to the Zhao Song royal family?" Mu Huali asked in a lucky heart.
Boer Shu smiled coldly and explained: "Who is Ye Qing? Will he really take the Zhao Song royal family seriously? Don't forget that whether it is King Qing or the Chongguo Duke, it is said that he has been sent to Ye Qing for the past few years. If Ye Qing really respects the Zhao Song royal family from the bottom of his heart, how could he dare to send the royal family?"
"He is afraid that we will treat the Zhao Song royal family..."
"Killing the Zhao Song royal family will only make Ye Qing feel a little pressure, and it is not beneficial to us. However... By sending additional staff to the inn where the Zhao Song royal family is, it can be inferred that Ye Qing has never been worried that we will take him as a target." Bolshu thought about Ye Qing's thoughts and imagined in his mind what he would do if he was Ye Qing.
"Then it's better to... kill them all, King Qing of the Song court, Duke Chong of the Jin Dynasty, King Shao of the Jin Dynasty, and Ye Qing, we all..." Mu Huali had even greater ambitions. He believed that once these people encountered an unexpected accident in Jinan Prefecture, it would probably not only make the Song court return to a weak Song court, but could even kill two birds with one stone and provoke another conflict between Song and Jin.
"The idea is a good idea, but..." Bolshu took a deep breath and said, "But it is difficult enough to deal with Ye Qing. If we still want to escape unstoppable, we cannot get rid of these four people together. What's more, as long as Ye Qing is eliminated, the Jin people will see the opportunity to go south again. Song Ting, now he is just relying on Ye Qing to support his face. As long as Ye Qing dies, everything will be disintegrated."
Mu Huali nodded in agreement and just wanted to speak out, Bolshu continued: "We need to get rid of Ye Qing at the moment, so... we must figure out where Ye Qing will go in the next day, and then we will choose a date to say goodbye to Ye Qing, so that we can have a greater confidence." Ye Qing is not only the pillar of Jinan City, but also the backbone of the Northland. The court's sharp weapon to shock Jin and Meng on the border. Also, because of Ye Qing's current importance, his daily itinerary must be arranged in advance, and it is definitely not to think about it.
So for Mu Huali and Bolshu, if they figure out Ye Qing’s itinerary in the next few days, then choose a time and location that is conducive to their assassination, and use the excuse of saying goodbye to make Ye Qing relax their vigilance, then they will not only have a greater chance of assassinating Ye Qing, but they will even have a much greater chance of getting away without any hesitation.
I don’t know if Ye Qing’s death will make the entire northern land in an instant, but at least Ye Qing’s death will definitely cause turmoil in the northern land at the first time, and this is also suitable for them to take advantage of the chaos and escape back to the grassland.
As Mu Huali and Bolshu said, Ye Qing is obviously not something that anyone can see when they want to see. Similarly, what Ye Qing does every day is spent on doing, not just thinking about it, but almost all of them have already been planned.
Of course, such itinerary is limited to Lord Ye when he is busy, and when he is free, Lord Ye's traces become even more erratic, and no one knows what he would want to do.
Zhu Xi blocked Ye Qing for several days, but he could not see Ye Qing in front of the Ye Mansion. When he saw Ye Qing, many things had actually settled and had no power to turn the world back.
When the official sedan chair carried by sixteen people and dozens of guards appeared at the gate of Ye Mansion, Zhu Xi, who had been in Jinan Mansion for three days, suddenly felt bright. Accompanied by his friends Zhang Shi and Lin Zezhi, he quickly walked towards Ye Qing's official sedan chair.
But before they could get closer, the guards in front immediately looked gloomy and raised the crossbow at their waists. The bright arrows flashed with cold light in the sun.
"I, Zhu Xi, I have something important to see Lord Ye." Zhu Xi hurriedly grabbed Zhang Shi and Lin Zezhi's arms, stood not far from the guard and shouted loudly, hoping that Ye Qing could hear his voice in the huge car as big as a room.
The guard holding a crossbow ignored Zhu Xi's shouts at all, and still held the crossbow and stared at Zhu Xi and the other two. Next to the huge car, a guard was holding his ear on the side of the car, which made Zhu Xi, who saw this scene, finally relieved his heart.
As the guard put away the crossbow and then opened the two doors of the official sedan chair, Ye Qing, dressed in a scholar's Confucian shirt, slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
"It's really Mr. Zhu. Ye thought he had heard it wrong at the moment. These unsightly things scared Mr. Zhu, right? Please, Mr. Zhu." Ye Qing walked to Zhu Xi and the other two and greeted him enthusiastically, and couldn't tell at all. Lord Ye had been avoiding Zhu Xi for several days. No matter how he looked at the happy expression, it looked like the expression that old friends should have when they met.
"I took the liberty to stop the sedan chair. I'm reckless, no wonder they are." Zhu Xi also squeezed out a smile, but even so, Zhu Xi still gave people the feeling of a loser at this moment, which was completely different from the pride of spring breeze when he was in Lin'an.
"I wonder when Mr. Zhu came to Jinan? But he had already arranged his residence? Why didn't he tell Ye in advance, and Ye was fine..." Ye Qing's innocent expression made Zhu Xi, who knew it, want to say swear words, but now people are under the roof, and this time when he came to Jinan, he had something to ask for, so he could only endure Ye Qing's harsh and enthusiastic words.
With a hint of embarrassment, he followed Ye Qing into the mansion of Ye Mansion. The four people sat in the front hall. Without waiting for Ye Qing to continue to be polite, Zhu Xi took the lead and said: "My Lord Ye, I am not hiding it. This time I disturbed you, because I have something to ask for."
"Mr. Zhu is polite. Isn't this going to end Ye! If Mr. Zhu has something to do, he might as well say it directly. As long as Ye can help, he will do his best and never refuse." Ye Qing said very readily, with the hypocritical surprise and hypocritical enthusiasm of seeing Zhu Xi and the other two still on his face.
Zhu Xi looked at Lord Ye who was enthusiastic and surprised, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious. Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Shi and Lin Zezhi. After nodding slightly, the three of them actually stood up and saluted Ye Qing at the same time. Zhu Xi said, "I would like to ask Lord Ye to save those students trapped in Lin'an."
"Mr. Zhu, don't do this." Ye Qing stepped forward and hurriedly supported Zhu Xi and asked, "Mr. Zhu, you are..."
Zhu Xi sat down again, his expression seemed even more sad than before. He looked at Ye Qing and said, "I guess Lord Ye should have known that Lin'an had encountered a huge change a few days ago, right?"
"I wonder... what Mr. Zhu is referring to?" Ye Qing asked in a slight contempt.
Zhu Xi sighed and then said in a scattered manner that since he was dismissed, not only he suffered the disaster, but also many of his students also suffered the disaster. There were only ten people who were fortunate to be able to come out of Lin'an.
Ye Qing was a little puzzled. He was about to ask, but he heard Zhu Xi continue to explain. It turned out that after Zhu Xi was recalled to Lin'an as a lecturer, although Zhu Xi met him after arriving in Lin'an, he had already known many of his students before that and went to Lin'an together. He planned to take advantage of the opportunity of being recalled by the court to carry forward Neo-Confucianism in Lin'an, and even hoped to build a college in Lin'an and establish a sect to make achievements together.
But he didn't expect that the good times would not last long. In order to surrender to Shi Miyuan, the censors under Han Tuozhou, and others showed their kindness to him in order to surrender to Shi Miyuan, so after Shi Miyuan gave a little guidance, he quickly fabricated ten major crimes to impeach Zhu Xi and others.
Then Neo-Confucianism became the pseudo-study, and Zhu Xi became the leader of pseudo-study. His disciples who rushed to Lin'an from all directions and planned to join him in Lin'an were also affected by the disaster. The exiled and the detained were almost overnight cleared from Lin'an.
Of course, Zheng Qingzhi, a student of Zhu Xi, was not spared, and was now detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
"I have also written several letters to Lord Ye for help, but I have not received any response. I had no choice but to come to the door..." Zhu Xi's words were sincere and sad. Looking at Ye Qing who was silent, he continued, "Mr. Ye, you are the only one who can help me now. I also hope that Lord Ye can help those students because of his friendship with the Shengren Academy in Qufu, they are all innocent."
"Mr. Zhu doesn't have to worry for the moment, and Mr. Zhu should also know that Ye was already confined to the court when he was in Lin'an, and now he is far away in the north... Of course, Ye will naturally not stand by in this matter, but he also hopes that Mr. Zhu will give Ye some time to see if he can come up with any solution, how about it?" Ye Qing's words also seemed extremely sincere, and what he said was also reasonable and well-founded.
As a lecturer, Zhu Xi naturally knew that when he was proud of his lecturer, Lord Ye was ordered to reflect on himself at home and not even attend the ceremony of the current emperor's ascension ceremony, so he began to go north.
Similarly, when he was giving lectures to Zhao Kuo, who was still the crown prince, Lord Ye was still basking in the sun outside the palace gate, waiting for the crown prince's summons, so Lord Ye's words obviously cannot be said to be refusing.
Zhu Xi could only nodded silently, and the four of them were speechless in the hall. Lord Ye no longer asked Mr. Zhu if he had arranged a residence, but just sat there while thinking hard while drinking tea.
Mr. Zhu, Zhang Shi, Lin Zezhi and the other two held the teacup in their hands without any taste, hoping that Lord Ye, who was thinking hard, would suddenly look up at them and ask: Where are the three of them now?
But... they were obviously disappointed. Nearly half an hour passed, and Lord Ye was still thinking hard, and even sighed from time to time, or sighed heavily, and then shook his head helplessly and muttered something inappropriate.
