In Yanjing, Wanyan Xie has been paying attention to the civil strife in the Song Dynasty these days. He obtained detailed information from Du Chong and Qin Hui that Zhao Ji would launch a court coup during the period when he was appointed as the crown prince.

To be honest, Wanyan Xie was not optimistic about Zhao Ji's palace coup. The timing was wrong. The Song army had just destroyed the Western Xia, and Emperor Song's prestige was at its peak. At this time, the palace coup was launched. Even if he succeeded, how could he make all officials and the world surrender?

Of course, if the Song Dynasty was in chaos, he would still be happy to see it happen. For this reason, he specially arranged assassins to assassinate Li Yanqing in Lin'an to help Zhao Ji with his help. If Li Yanqing died, not only would Zhao Ji's throne be able to slowly sit firmly, but the Jin Kingdom also eliminated a major concern.

However, the final result disappointed Wanyan Xie. Li Yanqing escaped the disaster twice, and Wanyan Xie realized that Zhao Ji's palace coup was in danger this time.

In the study room, Wanyan Xie stood in front of the window with his hands in his arms, listening to the guards behind him report the express message from Lin'an Mansion.

"The latest news is that Li Yanqing's army has entered Lin'an Prefecture and has been named the regent of the ruling state."

"It's OK!"

Wanyan Xie also interrupted the guards, "No need to report, go out! By the way, find Pharmacist Guo for me."

"Abide by the order!" The guard bowed and retreated.

Wanyan Xie was also full of irritability. The things he was worried about finally happened. Li Yanqing controlled the affairs of the Song Dynasty, and the resources he had were no longer northwest and Bashu, but the entire Song Dynasty, which was undoubtedly a great addition to the tiger.

"Get out of the way!"

Wanyan Xie was also depressed. He roared wildly and punched the table hard. The table was smashed with a "bang!"

At this time, a personal soldier outside the door reported, "General Guo is here."

Wanyan Xie also slowly restrained the irritability in his heart and nodded, "Let him come in!"

After a moment, Pharmacist Guo walked into the room. He saw the table split into two sections at a glance, and his feet couldn't help but stagnate, and he felt a little uneasy.

"Meet Marshal of the Du!"

At this time, Wanyan Xie had completely calmed down. He pointed to the table and smiled: "I have a heavy body recently, and the table has also been cracked."

"Haha! Let the guard be stronger."

Pharmacist Guo laughed dryly, and he clearly saw that the table was cracked, not cracked.

"Please sit there!"

Wanyan Xie has also been very polite to Pharmacist Guo recently. Last month, Pharmacist Guo reminded him that the Liao Kingdom strictly controls the weapons of the grassland people. They cannot have such a large number of weapons. It is very likely that someone behind them is supporting them. Wanyan Xie also immediately sent someone to investigate. The results found that the weapons of the grassland people all came from Xixia.

Of course, this would not be provided by Xixia. Xixia is about to destroy the country. He does not have enough weapons to resist the Song army. This should be provided by Li Yanqing to the grassland. Only he has a large number of seized weapons, and only he can do such things.

The investigation result made Wanyan Xie very angry, but at the same time he was full of vigilance. Li Yanqing obviously wanted to use the grassland ethnic group to weaken the Jin Kingdom and hold back the Jin soldiers.

Unfortunately, the Jin Dynasty regarded the grassland as more important than the Song Dynasty, and even rejected its suggestion of withdrawing troops and devoted itself to conquering the grasslands in the northern desert. This made Wanyan Xie very depressed.

"I don't know if Marshal of the Capital is looking for a low position." Guo Yaoshi saw that Wanyan Xie was also a little distracted, so he whispered to remind him.

Wanyan Xie nodded, "The situation in the south has not been good recently!"

"I have also heard of Bei Zhi. It seems that a palace coup occurred in Lin'an and Zhao Ji was restored."

"That's already the past news. The latest news is that Li Yanqing suppressed the palace coup and was named the regent of the ruling state. A two-year-old child ascended the throne as emperor."

Pharmacist Guo was stunned for a moment. Li Yanqing actually became the regent of the ruling country. This is not good!

"Marshal Du, this is not good news for us!"

Wanyan Xie also sighed slightly, "It's not just bad news, it's completely bad news. I suspect that once he consolidates his power, he will tear up the armistice agreement and launch a large-scale north attack."

"If this is the case, Marshal Du needs to remind Liu Yu!"

"I've sent someone to remind him, and to be honest, he has disappointed me recently."

Pharmacist Guo did not dare to speak casually, so he had to listen patiently. Wanyan Xie continued: "The fundamental reason why Li Yanqing could defeat Zhao Ji's army this time was that he transferred 30,000 elite cavalry from Jingzhao. They were like destroying the Song army in Jiangnan. This cavalry actually went south from the Central Plains. Liu Yu asked them to pass through the heartland of the Central Plains like this without any obstruction, and they would not even report to me."

Wanyan Xie also said at the end, his anger rose again. He looked at Guo Yaoshi and said, "Explain to me, what does he mean by doing this?"

Pharmacist Guo was stunned. Did he ask me to come and ask about this? Liu Yu has nothing to do with him!

"This Bei Yi has no contact with Liu Yu, I don't know how he thought about it."

Wanyan Xie also realized that his tone was too harsh, so he relaxed and said, "I'm not blaming you, but I want to hear your thoughts. I'll ask you something else later."

Yaoshi Guo then felt relieved. He thought for a while and said, "I feel that Liu Yu is very afraid of Li Yanqing, for fear of annoying Li Yanqing, so he obeys the rules."

"You are right. The problem is here. We actually found a cartilage to take charge of the Central Plains and hoped that he would fight the Song army. It seems that I have to replace people!"

Yaoshi Guo knew that Wanyan Xie was also saying something angry. If he replaced him, he would force Liu Yu to rebel directly, which would be a loss.

Wanyan Xie also complained, and then turned the topic to the main business. "A few days ago, Li Yanqing sent an official to negotiate with me and asked us to hand over Li Yungui, otherwise it would be regarded as us tearing down the armistice agreement. What do you think he means? Are you afraid that Li Yungui will restore Xixia, or are you deliberately looking for trouble and provoking us?"

Pharmacist Guo couldn't speak for a long time. Isn't this a repeat of the Zhang Jue incident? The difference is that both sides have completely turned the other way around, it's really funny!

Of course, Li Yungui was the only Western Xia royal family who fled to the Jin Kingdom. Li Yanqing did have the intention to prevent him from restoring, but Guo Yaoshi felt that things were not that simple.

He pondered for a while and said, "I feel that Li Yanqing is making excuses for tearing down the armistice agreement. Li Yungui is actually dispensable to him. Xixia has disappeared. If the Jin Kingdom helps Li Yungui restore the throne, it would be better to occupy the land of Xixia by himself."

"It makes sense. I also think that Li Yanqing's real purpose is to find excuses to tear up the armistice agreement, but the problem now is that Li Yungui has no value to me either."

Pharmacist Guo understood what Wanyan Xieye meant. He wanted to hand over Li Yungui to Song Jun. It seems that Wanyan Xie is still a little confused about the authorities!

Guo Yaoshi carefully reminded: "If you hand over Li Yungui, you are afraid that the court will be unfavorable to Marshal Du."

Wanyan Xie didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he nodded, "I understand!"

Wanyan Xie also walked slowly to the window, and there was an unconcealable anxiety in his eyes. He had just remembered the Zhang Jue incident. In just a few years, the situation began to reverse. If the court did not end the conquest of the northern desert grasslands, it would have made a major strategic mistake.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Xie was also anxious. He decided to rush to the Huining Mansion in Shangjing to meet the wolf master tomorrow.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was March of the following year. At the beginning of the year, all officials voted and changed the year name to Song Xing. Regent Li Yanqing issued a general amnesty order. All persons under serious crimes in the world can be pardoned. At the same time, the registration order was issued, and special household registrations such as music and craftsmen were cancelled, and all were good.

The amnesty order is a common thing, and everyone does not feel it deeply, but the orders of the whole world shocked people, and there were praises and criticisms, especially the practitioners of music and craftsmen cheered.

If the amnesty and the registration order only have an impact on a few people, then reforming the sale system, abolishing the exemption of service and suspending commercial taxes has a profound impact on the people of the world.

The reform of the selling system was to restore the former selling franchise, cancel the sale of the governments in various places, and plug the institutional loopholes in officials using their power for personal gain and harm the people. This was a reform that was to be implemented last year. However, the palace coup did not continue to be implemented. In Li Yanqing's hands, it was finally implemented after several months.

The biggest advantage of reforming the tea, wine and salt sales system is that the revenue from selling goods is directly transferred to the central court, which cracked down on the shady scenes of collusion between officials and businessmen, greatly increased the court's fiscal revenue, and at the same time reduced the source price of the specialty items, lowered the prices of goods, and benefited the people.

In addition, the abolition of the exemption money was a benefit to the people of the world by the new court, which greatly reduced the tax burden on the people and made the people of the world grateful.

Two reforms were immediately visible, and the economy in various parts of the Song Dynasty began to recover rapidly. Especially after the suspension of commercial tax, businesses in various places began to flourish. Lin'an City began to flourish in just a few months, and the newly opened stores increased by 50% compared with last year.
