Chapter 932: King Jia
Li Fengniang stood behind the rockery not far away, watching Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo wander around in the Yujin Garden at will, and finally returned to the flowerbed where they had just met.
Under his feet was a lawn like a green carpet, a beautiful Taihu Lake stone was lying on the lawn, Ye Qing watched Zhao Kuo sit down on the stone at his beckoning, and he sat on the grass casually.
"Your queen mother...... I only taught you to be a prince? Did the others ignore it? Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Visiting the garden together made the two less alienated from each other, and the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious and lively at this moment.
Zhao Kuo is no longer as vigilant as he was when he first met, and from time to time his face will show a look of admiration for Ye Qing, especially when Ye Qing told that the reason why he, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, has been not in the court, but is fighting in the north, the admiration and yearning on Zhao Kuo's face are even more vigorous, and his eyes are full of excitement and novelty, listening to Ye Qing talk about the great mountains and rivers in the north and other things.
"Other Mr. Liberty taught me, and the queen mother only occasionally took the school exam." Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing, who was sitting on the grass casually, smiled and replied, "The queen mother hopes that I can become the crown prince of my Great Song Dynasty and inherit the throne of my father in the future." ”
"Do you want to be emperor?" Ye Qing held the grass with both hands, the sun spilled down from the top of his head, and the warm feeling made people enjoy the tranquility of nature very much.
Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing and did not answer immediately, but pursed his lips with some hesitation, and then said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't know." But if the queen mother thinks so, I will do it. ”
"It's hard to be a good emperor, especially at this time. My Great Song Dynasty is still a corner of peace, and many jackals, tigers and leopards in the north are eyeing the wealth of my Great Song Dynasty, once they become emperors, they are a little careless...... You, the emperor, will become very difficult. Ye Qing's expression also looked a little melancholy.
"I know that my Great Song Dynasty suffered a lot in front of the arrogant and unreasonable soldiers of the Jin, Xia, and Liao, but ...... Now you can defend the northern land for my Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Kuo asked with a blink of his eyes.
At this moment, in his heart, he obviously does not have a clear understanding of the deceit of the court and the struggle between the courtiers.
Although he knew all the ups and downs and injustices of the Great Song Dynasty since the founding of the country, these were just mechanically instilled in him by the gentlemen around him, and the real meaning of it was obviously not fully understood by his current teenage mind and understanding.
Ye Qing stared at the handsome little face, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "If you become the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty one day in the future, and other courtiers play to you, I, Ye Qing, colluded with the Jin, Xia, and Liao people in the north, if it is not for my Great Song Town to guard the frontier, what will you do?" ”
"No, I trust you." Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, his eyes looked quite firm and serious.
"To be an emperor, you have to have ideals and ambitions, and you can't be an emperor because you want to be an emperor...... Therefore, if the British Duke still trusts Ye Qing, you might as well ask yourself from now on, when you are alone, what do you want to do if you become the emperor, whether it is for your mother to become the emperor, or for the royal family or the country, the people, or ...... Strive to restore the magnificent atmosphere of the Song Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo, who seemed to understand and nodded when he spoke, and said lightly.
"Is it like you just said? It is advisable to hang the head of the barbarian mansion on the street to show thousands of miles. Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! In order to deter Jin, Xia and other jackals, tigers and leopards who oppressed my Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Kuo's little hand, I don't know when it started, grabbed the sleeve of his shirt that had been wrinkled out and asked.
"That's not what I said. It was written by the famous Han general Chen Tangyu when he played the chapter of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and it was only said after he defeated the Huns. So...... It also tells us with practical actions that before the goal is achieved, we can temporarily hide our ideals in our hearts, and then say it again when the day of realization comes, so that it will be better, so as not to be slapped in the face when we get it. Ye Qing said at the end, and laughed unconsciously.
"So as not to be slapped in the face?" Zhao Kuo asked with some incomprehension.
"Just so as not to live up to your words and embarrass yourself." Ye Qing said lightly.
Maybe others don't have a deep feeling for this sentence, but along the way, he knows that his ideals and goals, even now, there are still people who ridicule and satirize.
Even Li Fengniang, the mother of Zhao Kuo in front of her, can't fully believe that the reason why she would rather give up the court and go to the north is to be able to keep the prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty and the true Chinese orthodoxy.
Whether it is Li Fengniang or Shi Miyuan, even if it is Han Yanxuan and other court officials who were born in the military, no one has ever believed that he, a powerful minister who seems to be a hero in the north, will have such noble and selfless sentiments.
In their eyes, their every move is full of intrigue and intrigue, all for power and ambition.
When Li Fengniang appeared, Ye Qing was in front of Zhao Kuo, which naturally gave the current queen enough face.
The queen Li Fengniang, who was dressed in a festive red palace dress, was out of place with the atmosphere of a concubine who had just died of a violent illness in the palace, and the Funing Hall was immersed in endless grief, but she was swaggering in the palace with a festive color.
Zhao Kuo was taken down by Zhu Ye'er and other eunuchs and palace maids, and when he left, Zhao Kuo still couldn't help but salute like Ye Qing, and then slowly left.
Li Fengniang has been examining Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo's faces, the whiteness of her temples makes Ye Qing look like she has a little more accumulated vicissitudes, but even so, when her eyes wandered over the bodies of one big and one small, she still had a feeling of shock, and secretly made up her mind that she would never let them meet again after today.
"It is not impossible to teach him to become a prince and become a prince who inherits the throne of the Holy Emperor from an early age, but the queen should not forget that teaching some responsibilities and ambitions as a prince and prince is. It is not difficult for the British prince to become a prince and a prince, but it is rare to ...... What kind of emperor do you want him to be? Do you want to ...... too? Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang, who was dressed in festive clothes, and said calmly.
"You don't have to worry about the royal family." Li Fengniang coldly interrupted Ye Qing's preaching, and then smiled at Ye Qing charmingly: "Do you know why this palace is dressed like this today?" But compared to the curiosity in your heart, I am even more curious, how did you convince the Emperor. ”
Ye Qing frowned and looked at Li Fengniang, who was in a good mood, and wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
"Today, Gushan has a will, canonizing the British Duke Zhao as King Jia, which means that King Jia is now only one step away from the crown prince." Li Fengniang said with a happy smile.
Ye Qing finally understood why Li Fengniang was wearing a festive red palace dress very inappropriately today, and after looking Li Fengniang up and down, he said: "I will try my best to do what I promised you, but ...... I don't want King Jia's gaze to be limited to the court and the throne as you have taught, his vision and mind should be more open-minded, and he should look at the whole world, including the Jin, Xia, Tatars, Liao and other territories, not the corner of the place where my Great Song Dynasty is now standing. ”
Li Fengniang, who was in a happy and excited mood, didn't know if she took Ye Qing's words as a deaf ear, in short, she didn't have any reaction to Ye Qing's teaching to her about Zhao Kuo, the king of Jia, anyway, and was still immersed in her joy.
"In addition to Gushan's will to promote Zhao Kuo, it is the clan that someone has proposed today to urge Gushan to establish Zhao Kuan as the crown prince, which is ...... I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you, right? Li Fengniang asked proudly.
"Zhao Shicheng, the king of Xin'an County." Ye Qing said calmly, then walked out of the grass and began to walk out along the quiet path.
Li Fengniang didn't care about Ye Qing's disrespectful attitude towards her, after all, the minister in front of her had too many disrespectful things to her, from the time she knew him back then, until now, when did this man with his back to him really respect himself as a queen!
"And I also know that Zhao Shicheng proposed a list of several daughters of courtiers to the royal family." Ye Qing stopped, turned to look at Li Fengniang, who had stopped together, looked at the puzzled expression, and continued: "This is enough to show that now there are people with a heart who have begun to put their minds on King Jia, and have begun to make long-term arrangements. ”
"You mean Zhao Shicheng? Persuaded Gushan to establish King Jia as the crown prince, and to find a concubine for King Jia, all of which he did? He...... What is his intention, does he want to become the second Zhao Ruyu? Li Fengniang's originally smug face instantly froze a layer of coldness and asked.
"No, it's Shi Miyuan." Ye Qing let out a long sigh, Li Fengniang has never honored Zhao Yan as the emperor, and has always replaced it with a lonely mountain.
Looking at the clear blue sky, he thought for a moment and said: "Shi Miyuan is unfathomable, and the scheming city can be described as extremely deep and elusive. My concern is that the reason why he is in such a hurry to start the layout is because he has discovered something, and that's why it is like this? ”
"What do you mean?" Li Fengniang's eyes also became cold, and she asked.
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked rhetorically, and then said: "For Shi Miyuan, as long as it is beneficial to him, no matter what the method is, he can use it for himself." The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in Fujian is to emulate Yangzhou, and now it is ...... focusing on the future princess of King Jia. ”
"What do you mean...... You and me? Li Fengniang's heart tightened.
"In short, you must remember, don't underestimate Shi Miyuan, you must be careful." Ye Qing sighed again: "Even if he hasn't spied any clues yet, it's hard to guarantee that he won't use this method to finally find your weakness." ”
"Kill him!" Li Fengniang bit her silver teeth and said murderously.
Ye Qing frowned, glanced at Li Fengniang, who was about to kill, and sighed helplessly, "Even if you kill Shi Miyuan, it won't help, Shi Miyuan is dead, do you think it's peaceful?" After all, there will be courtiers such as Li Miyuan and Wang Miyuan above the court. Once a matter is teetering on the verge of being exposed, it is not possible to solve the problem by killing people. What's more, how could Shi Miyuan be so easy to kill? Over the years, he has been able to wander above the court, but it is not as simple as we think. ”
Li Fengniang's gaze gradually changed from the original coldness to a smile, and she slowly took two steps closer to Ye Qing, and the faint fragrance on her body penetrated Ye Qing's nose from time to time.
Then with a somewhat playful smile, he looked at Ye Qing and said leisurely: "Ye Qing, did you notice this, or did you deliberately make an excuse to get rid of me?" I'll tell you Ye Qing! You won't want to get rid of me for the rest of your life! That's it! Even if you go to the Northland, as long as I Li Fengniang calls, whether it is thousands of mountains and rivers, or far away from the ocean, you must return to me immediately! You are my Li Fengniang's, no one can snatch it away! ”
"Put away your baseless speculation." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang's eyes that were eager to bite herself, reached out and stroked Li Fengniang's cheek, and said with a smile: "Since I entered your boudoir back then, I am destined to be entangled with you for the rest of my life." Life is so wonderful, no one could have predicted that the entanglement, pulling and pulling of two people for a lifetime is completely due to the inadvertent first encounter. ”
Li Fengniang twisted her face that was touched by Ye Qing, and then her red lips opened slightly, and she gently took Ye Qing's thumb in her mouth, biting Ye Qing's fingers lightly with her teeth, and said vaguely: "Then what should I do?" Do you just sit back and wait? ”
"It's good to be cautious these days, and in the next few days, Shi Miyuan won't have too much thought about this matter. As for the future, when I leave the Northlands, it will be more difficult for him to find out what is going on. Ye Qing wanted to pull out the thumb that Li Fengniang was holding in his mouth, but as soon as he moved, he was gently pulled by Li Fengniang's teeth.
"What? Are you so afraid of being bitten off by me? Li Fengniang finally relented, and then said disdainfully: "Even if I, Li Fengniang, am jealous and hateful, I won't just bite off your fingers, wouldn't it be faster for you to make your Ye family the queen?" ”
"So you want me to enter the palace?" Ye Qing looked at his thumb, which was full of saliva, and simply pulled up Li Fengniang's sleeve and wiped it.
Li Fengniang didn't refute, nor did she care about the gaze of Zhu Ye'er not far away, and said calmly: "Since Shi Miyuan is so cunning and insidious, you can rest assured that you will leave Lin'an like this?" ”
"The palace is now exclusive to you? What more do you want? Ye Qing frowned and asked.
"Imperial Division!" Li Fengniang said these three words firmly, and then said: "As you said, I have to prevent Shi Miyuan from ruining my Li Fengniang's plan." ”
Looking at Ye Qing, who was a little hesitant, Li Fengniang smiled and walked forward slowly, and said: "I remember that when Emperor Gaozong handed over the Imperial City Division to you, he once said a word to you: The pawns of the inspectors are all over the capital, and they are involved in hunger, that is, they are arrested and treated, and they are deeply written. Right? ”
"You are not Shi Miyuan's opponent, you can't fight him. Before I leave for the Northlands, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. As for the Imperial City Division, it has already been offended by you, and it will ...... in your hands. Ye Qing sighed.
"You ......." Li Fengniang turned around and pointed at Ye Qing with some anger, and then put her hand down angrily, she knew that the Zuo brothers were indeed offended by betraying Ye Qing because they betrayed Ye Qing in the matter of the Imperial City Division's arrest of Zhao Ruyu: "This is the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty, not your Ye Qing's Imperial City Division!" ”
Ye Qing looked at Zhu Ye'er who was not far away, thought for a while, and said: "In the future, you can let Zhu Ye'er go to Wuyi Lane, if there is anything, they will inform Zhu Ye'er, as for the Zuo brothers, there is no need to appear in front of the Imperial City Division again, so as not to backfire." ”
"Ye Qing......." Li Fengniang gritted her teeth, she was a queen of the world, and she couldn't easily take back a knife that originally belonged to the royal family from the hands of a minister.
"This is for your good, but also so that you can become the future queen mother in peace." Ye Qing said coldly, and then Li Fengniang on the opposite side instantly disappeared most of her anger.
(PS: First, the state is not good.) The second is to reorganize the outline behind it. So far, I don't think many people have chased me, but I still hope to do my best to write a satisfying story. So I've been thinking about the direction of the story and so on for the past few days, hoping to write as many wonderful chapters as possible, rather than writing a storyline that even I feel lackluster and uninspired when I think about it myself. In that case, it would be better to break and settle down. I'm sorry everyone, but it's been interrupted for the past few days. )
