On February 2, the sixteenth year of Chunxi, after Zhao Ruyu went down to the court, he took a carriage to the prince's mansion again.

Zuo Yu watched Zhao Ruyu's carriage drive over quickly, and immediately sent someone to greet the crown prince and the crown princess without waiting for the door, while he was also standing at the foot of the steps, waiting for Zhao Ruyu to get off.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?" Zhao Ruyu asked with some joy in his expression.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Zhao." Zuo Yu said with a smile.

Going to the Prince's Mansion, without those lengthy and cumbersome steps to enter the Prince's Mansion, will make the officials think that they have become a person in the Prince's Mansion.

Now Zhao Ruyu has this feeling, no longer like at the beginning, and still needs to wait for the passage, inspection and other links before he has the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Now, he can be said to be like entering the mansion of other officials, and someone will take him to the prince's mansion with a direct message, which is a kind of trust for any official, and it is also a signal to regard him as his own.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, a society where favors are greater than the rule of law, but it is also a society with strict hierarchies, this kind of move to avoid lengthy and cumbersome links can always make people feel a sense of self-pride and pride.

"Minister Zhao Ruyu has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." After Zuo Yu motioned for Zhao Ruyu to enter, he heard the sound of Zhao Ruyu saluting behind him.

Prince Zhao Dian has been waiting for the news of his father's release of the Zen throne since the Yuan Day, and now there are more and more courtiers who hope for his father's Zen throne, and his mood of wanting to be the emperor is becoming more and more urgent day by day after the Shangyuan Festival.

Zhao Qing got up and spoke. The crown prince Zhao Duan glanced at Li Fengniang next to him, and then said to Zhao Ruyu.

Zhao Ruyu behind him, no different from the crown prince, as if he also knew that the crown princess in the room was the real backbone, looking at Li Fengniang's calm face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down next to him.

"What's the matter, in the last court today, has my father ever been there?" The crown prince Zhao asked anxiously.

"No, I didn't." Zhao Ruyu shook his head, and then said: "The Holy Lord has plans to move to Deshou Palace now, and today, after summoning Lord Han and Lord Wang, according to the news that the Holy Lord is now interested in Zen ....... ”

"Really? Is this true? The crown prince Zhao was stunned, got up from the chair, and asked happily, and when he heard Li Fengniang's coughing next to him, he found that he was wrong, and sat back again.

"This is true, and the minister does not dare to deceive the prince." Zhao Ruyu didn't seem to see the prince's reckless move just now, and still said calmly: "Now above the court, there are more and more courtiers who expect to see the prince succeed to the throne, presumably this is the general trend now." But now, because of ...... Wang Huai...... This one....... ”

"To put it bluntly, Lord Zhao doesn't have to have any worries in the Prince's Mansion." Li Fengniang said calmly.

Looking at Zhao Ruyu's stupid appearance, Li Fengniang also guessed that the succession of the prince to the throne of the Holy Zen Throne must be supported by someone and there will be opposition to it, but I don't know what is the purpose of Wang Huai's opposition at this time under the general trend!

Just when Zhao Ruyu was playing Wang Huai's opposition with the crown prince and the crown princess, Ye Qing, who was far away in Jinan Mansion, still sent the flower army to escort Yelu Yue and Yelu Yuanyi and others back to Liao.

Of course, it is impossible for Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm to send Yeluyue all the way to Daliao, not to mention that this time, they will go west along the Yellow River, naturally they will pass through Kaifeng Mansion on Nanjing Road, and with the strength of the current flower planting army, for the Jin people who are planning to withdraw the army, it can also play a role in deterring them from snatching and burning the people on Nanjing Road all the way.

Even if Yan Jing guaranteed it, Ye Qing didn't believe that the Jin people on Nanjing Road could be orderly and not disturb the retreat of the people back then, if they could do it, it wouldn't have been so many years, and still let some elderly people in the north only scold and be indignant when they mention them.

As the so-called is to make the best use of things and make the best use of talents, in addition to the flower planting army escorting Yeluyue back to Daliao and stopping the various evil deeds of the Jin people who retreated north, Ye Qing naturally invited Wanyan Yongji, the king of Jin Guowei Shao, to go to Nanjing Road to be the supervisor of the Jin people.

Although Wanyan Yongji is now subject to the Song people, not many people know about this matter, not to mention that Wanyan Jing did not make a public announcement everywhere, so Wanyan Yongji's appearance on Nanjing Road naturally made the harassment of the local people, the robbery of property, and the rape of women by the people of the northern Jin Dynasty have been greatly curbed.

Looking at the empty mansion, after missing Yeluyue's beautiful figure that he had become accustomed to, Ye Qing's heart was also stunned, and what lingered in front of him was Yeluyue's reluctant gentle appearance.

Looking at Ye Qing, who seemed to be a little depressed because of Ye Luyue's departure, Li Heng, Lao Liu Tou, Po Li San, and Wu Ju shook the secret letter in their hands, attracting Ye Qing's attention.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ye Qing sighed: "How good it would be if there was no war, every family and everyone can live the life they want, without worrying about war, without feeling sad and parting, without sending lovesickness and complaining about ......." ”

"I've got goosebumps all over the place." Old Liu Tou sat down opposite Ye Qing and mocked.

Li Heng opened the secret letter in front of Ye Qing and read it, and after reading it in a hurry, he said: "Now that the Holy Lord has already intended to take the throne, Zhao Ruyu and Han Cheng can be said to be the main forces who advocate the Holy Zen position and the crown prince succeed to the throne, while Wang Huai is against it. ”

"Reason." Ye Qing looked at Li Heng's virtue that had nothing to do with himself, took the wine poured by Lao Liu Tou and drank it all.

"That's a good question." Li Heng flicked the letter in his hand with his fingers, glanced at it and said: "The reason is as follows, now that the two roads in Shandong have not been completely recovered, and the Nanjing Road is still guarded by the Jin people, at this time, the imperial court should focus on recovering the lost land, rather than persuading the saint to ascend the throne and the prince to succeed to the throne." Of course, if you Ye Qing...... That's what I said, the words in the letter are too literary....... ”

Li Heng dodged the wine bowl thrown by Ye Qing, and with the sound of the wine bowl falling to the ground and shattering, he continued: "The meaning in the letter is obvious, the prince wants to succeed to the throne, so let Ye Qing come back first, in this way, the succession of the prince to the throne of the Holy Zen can be regarded as a joy, and the recovering of the lost territory can be regarded as a second joy for Ye Qing's celebration and promotion." In Wang Huai's view, whether it is the crown prince succeeding to the throne or Ye Qing, you defeat the Jin people and regain the lost territory, it is a great joy for the Song Dynasty, and it should be celebrated together. ”

"Gone?" After waiting for a long time, I saw Li Heng standing next to him without caring about himself, pinching the envelope and not knowing what stupid he was sending.

"No, I've told you everything." Li Heng was stunned for a moment and said.

The wine bowl that was placed in front of Ye Qing by Lao Liu Tou again was just picked up by Ye Qing and was about to be smashed at Li Heng, but it was stopped by the quick-eyed old Liu Tou, after all, Li Heng is his son-in-law, so he has to protect it.

"Don't vent your parting sorrow on him, okay?" Lao Liu Tou pressed Ye Qing's wrist, and with his other hand, he hurriedly filled the wine bowl with wine, and then let go of Ye Qing's wrist and said, "What do you think about this matter?" Is this a good thing or a bad thing? ”

"What do you mean by the Prince's Mansion?" Ye Qing asked.

"I don't know for the time being, it should be that there was no movement after Zhao Ruyu left, because that's all Zuo Yu gave." Li Heng finally put the secret letter on the table and said.

Looking at the secret letter placed in front of her, Ye Qing's mind instantly appeared Li Fengniang's shadow, this girl should be about to go crazy if she wants to be a queen, it stands to reason that at this time, she should immediately tell herself to let herself return to Lin'an as soon as possible, so as to fulfill her dream of being a queen, but why did she suddenly become so calm?

Wang Huai's unscrupulous opposition above the court seems to be just to prevent the Holy Zen throne and the crown prince's succession, but in fact, Wang Huai's intentions are even more sinister, and now Ye Qinglai is not going back in Shandong, Wang Huai is planning to take advantage of the prince's mansion to succeed to the throne, so as to force himself to return to Lin'an.

But even if he fails to persecute Ye Qing, he can achieve his goal of provoking the relationship between Ye Qing and the Prince's Mansion, so that the Crown Prince and Li Fengniang will put the responsibility of not being able to inherit the throne smoothly on their heads, making Ye Qing and the Prince's Mansion hostile.

"So what do we do now? The Jin people of Nanjing Road are retreating north in an orderly manner, and then we will continue to guard Nanjing Road, and then guard Kaifeng Mansion...... Boy, don't forget, Kaifeng Mansion can't be easily touched, once you enter Kaifeng Mansion, the Jin people don't care, but what will the court think? This is a thing that is condemned by the world, once this is the case, we can still have a place to live? Old Liu Tou instantly realized the seriousness of the problem, or the changes when he followed Yue Fei at the beginning, which made him now more sensitive and alert in court affairs.

"Once all the Jin people withdraw from Nanjing Road, whether we defend Kaifeng Mansion or not, there will be people who will attack me in the court. But if I come back to Lin'an at this time...... What to do with all this mess? Can't we really leave them with an opportunity to take advantage of, and let them take advantage of my return to Lin'an, and hand over the place where we fought with blood and life to Wang Huai and Shi Miyuan, right? Ye Qing said with a complicated expression and hesitation.

He was not afraid that the imperial court would take over Shandong Lianglu, Nanjing Road and Jingzhaofu Road, what he was afraid of was that these would eventually bypass the imperial court and fall into the hands of Shi Miyuan, the current official secretary.

In this way, the risk is too great, because no one knows whether Shi Miyuan will take this opportunity to empty the four-way defenders again, and in the near future, he will return the defeat and retreat of the steppe people, and in the end, in desperation, he can only take and make up for the losses of the Tatars from the Song court.

When the Tatars destroyed Dajin, the historical Jin State did this, and the northern front was defeated and retreated, but in order to stop the decline, boost morale, and make up for the war losses, they had to look at the honest, weak and incompetent Song court, hoping to take advantage of the defeat in the north, and then fill it with the interests of the south.

"What is the Prince's Mansion thinking now? Hearing you say this, isn't the position of the Prince's Mansion the key to your worries now? Po Li San, who had never spoken, looked at a few people with frowns at this time and asked.

"If the Prince's Mansion doesn't recruit you back, and you don't rush to inherit the great treasure, won't it be fine?" Zhao Qi'er said with a wine bowl.

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Qing, after all, it was up to him how to make an idea, not to mention, his relationship with the prince's mansion was .......
