Ye Qing, who originally planned to stay in the Longcheng barracks for less than a month, stayed for two full months before returning to Chang'an with Yelu Chucai and others, who were already impatient.

Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, whether it is Ye Qing or Yelu Chucai, the simple life in the barracks in these two months has still made the two of them have undergone relatively big changes in appearance.

The pampered roundness on Yelu Chucai's face disappeared completely, and the emaciated face and youthful momentum made him look heroic at this time, and his whole body was full of capable energy.

And Ye Qing is face is also slightly rounded disappeared, the whole person is much more upright than at the beginning, still a pair of deep and wise eyes, the corners of the mouth easy-going smile, but the whole body is in that majesty at this time, mixed with a faint fierce momentum.

When Ye Qing returned to Chang'an, Zhao Kuo, who was already waiting impatiently in Lin'an, finally looked forward to Ye Qing's reply, and during this period, Zhao Kuo still took the opportunity to sneak out of the palace several times, each time he made an appointment with Xie Daoqing in advance, and then took the opportunity to meet Han Ying.

Although there is no substantial progress between the two, the ignorance of young boys and girls makes Zhao Kuo feel a kind of heartfelt pleasure and satisfaction every time he sees Han Ying, as if the whole world has become a lot better the moment he sees Han Ying, as if all the things that make him tired in the court will suddenly disappear magically at this moment.

Although it is not as good as tea and food, Zhao Kuo's mind has obviously been occupied by Han Ying, which makes Zhao Kuo look forward to Ye Qing in the north even more, and he can give himself ideas in time at this time.

The letter from Beidi was more than half a month later than scheduled, and the moment the letter arrived in Zhao Kuo's hand, the complaint against Ye Qing in his heart disappeared immediately, and he couldn't wait to open the letter in the imperial study of the Qinzheng Palace, and the proposal of a few words made Zhao Kuo fall into contemplation.

As an emperor, Ye Qing didn't know whether he could have complete emotions like ordinary people, and he couldn't imagine whether an emperor would be good or bad for the court if he was entangled in emotions.

And what Zhao Kuo's liking or love for Han Ying will evolve into, and whether it will affect his responsibility to the country as an emperor, Ye Qing also does not know.

But from Zhao Kuo's letter to him, he could clearly feel that Zhao Kuo was obviously serious about Han Ying, just like everyone's first love, the beauty of this kind of love can even affect people's lives, which made Ye Qing have to think carefully about how to help Zhao Kuo's beauties return.

"Although loving someone is not possession, it is obviously a happy thing to have a person you really like by your side, but there are many ways to have it, and it may not be the only way to express it for ......the person you really love." Zhao Kuo muttered the vernacular in the letter, but he felt quite useful.

In fact, he also knows very well that his marriage is a major event of the country after all, and it is not the love of ordinary people's men and women, especially when the queen mother has decided that he wants to choose one of the daughters of Yan Keji and Yang Huili, even if he is a saint today, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the result because he likes a woman.

But if he wanted to give up Han Ying, he was extremely unwilling, and even as soon as he remembered that Han Ying would marry someone else in the near future, Zhao Kuo's heart was instantly filled with frustration and helplessness, he didn't want to see this happen, but he couldn't disobey his mother's arrangement, which made him look extremely serious when he looked at the advice Ye Qing gave him, thinking about the feasibility of the suggestion while meditating.

"Go and ask Aunt Ye'er to come over." After reading it no less than three times in a row, Zhao Kuo finally slowly put down the letter in his hand and said to Wei Jing, who was waiting on the side.

After Wei Jing left, a smile finally appeared on Zhao Kuo's originally serious cheeks, I have to say that Ye Qing's proposal was the best of both worlds, and even for Han Ying, it was the best way to protect her.

"People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, the ancients did not deceive me, I am afraid that only he can come up with this kind of method of having both fish and bear's paws, but ...... Will Aunt Ye'er agree? Zhao Kuo rubbed his chin and once again set his eyes on Ye Qing's reply.

In addition to suggesting that Zhao Kuo should not take Han Ying's status too unexpectedly, the letter also suggested that Zhao Kuo should be the privilege of today's saint to make up for Han Ying's inner guilt in other ways.

Since she can't give Han Ying a name, she can only stay by her side and accompany her like a palace maid, so it is obviously unfair to Han Ying, so if this is the case, it is better to compensate her family for her debts, such as her father: Han Yanjia, a member of the ministry.

Zhao Kuo, who slowly calmed down, gradually saw the political motives hidden between the lines from Ye Qing's letter.

Although he is not stupid when he is young, not to mention that since he succeeded to the throne, although he is not very clear about the intrigue and open and secret battles between many courtiers, at least he still knows that Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan are two people who are opposite to each other above the court, just like the court now, Shi Miyuan and Liuzheng are fighting every day above the court for the recommendation of the criminal department.

The Ministry of Officials has been controlled by Shi Miyuan for many years, and now after being promoted to the left minister with Shi Miyuan, the dispatch of the Ministry of Officials and Shangshu fell into the hands of Lou Key, and Lou Key This person is Shi Miyuan's henchman, Han Ying's father Han Yanjia, and he is also a member of the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, Ye Qing's proposal to compensate for Han Ying's debt from other places is so intriguing.

But no matter what, this matter is naturally a good thing for him Zhao Kuo, and it is also for Ye Qing...... He didn't see any benefit for the time being.

After all, Zhao Kuo believed that with the dispatch of Han Yanjia's small staff, it would be impossible for him to enter the eyes of a hero like Ye Qing before Han Ying's incident, so this naturally did not exist, Ye Qing's move was to secretly help Han Yanjia, so if he promoted Han Yanjia, I am afraid that it would only make Han Yanjia grateful to him.

Naturally, there is another layer that is more beneficial to him Zhao Kuo, as long as

Han Yanjia is not stupid like a pig, even if he only has the ability of his uncle, then for Zhao Kuo, as long as he calms down, he can use Han Yanjia to replace the key to the building and become the new secretary of the ministry, so that his prestige above the court will naturally be more beneficial and harmless.

Thinking of Zhao Kuo here, his heart was unconsciously full of admiration for Ye Qing, it was obviously a very simple matter of children's affection, but after going through it in Ye Qing's hands, it turned out to be an opportunity that was enough to affect the court and weaken Shi Miyuan's power in the court!

I have to say that Ye Qing's insidiousness and treachery made Zhao Kuo admire and be vigilant, and secretly warned himself: If you deal with Ye Qing in the future, you have to be very careful, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be calculated by Ye Qing without a trace.

Wei Jing invited Zhu Ye'er to come to the Qinzheng Palace very quickly, and just when Zhao Kuo felt that he had eaten every word of Ye Qing's letter, Zhu Ye'er was already making a gesture to salute Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't wait for Zhu Ye'er to salute, so he hurriedly got up and walked to Zhu Ye'er to stop him, with an innocent smile on his face, and took the lead in saluting and shouting at Zhu Ye'er Auntie.

Since Zhao Kuo can remember, Zhu Ye'er has been following the queen mother's side, and even most of the time, everything in Zhao Kuo is cooked by Zhu Ye'er himself, so Zhu Ye'er is obviously not as simple as a slave beside the queen mother for Zhao Kuo.

Whether it is Li Fengniang's attention to Zhu Ye'er, or Zhu Ye'er's care for Zhao Kuo over the years, it is enough to make Zhu Ye'er's status in the palace at this time quite transcendent.

And Zhao Kuo has never treated Zhu Ye'er as an ordinary palace maid in the palace, and even many times, Zhao Kuo will not hesitate to tell Zhu Ye'er about some things that cannot be told to his mother Li Fengniang, because he believes that his aunt will definitely help him keep those secrets.

"The queen mother didn't ask my aunt, what is the matter with Kuo'er...... you." Zhao Kuo sat down beside Zhu Ye'er cordially, and after Wei Jing personally served the tea, he motioned Wei Jing to go out and guard a little, without his explicit order, no one was allowed to disturb him to talk to his aunt.

"If you go back to the saint, the queen mother is enjoying the flowers in Yujin Garden, and the slave maid is in the Cining Palace when she sees Wei Jing coming over ......." Zhu Ye'er's eyes flashed with kindness that made Zhao Kuo very useful.

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Kuanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and after glancing at Zhu Ye'er, he mysteriously handed Ye Qing's letter to Zhu Ye'er and said, "Auntie, is it feasible to take a look?" ”

"It's ......." Zhu Ye'er looked at the familiar font, and her heart was shocked, and she almost exclaimed.

She was so familiar with this font that she was even so familiar that she could dream of the owner of the font even in her dreams.

"Who is Han Ying?" Zhu Ye'er looked at it halfway, then turned her head sideways and asked Zhao Kuo.

In an instant, a trace of unnaturalness and the shyness of the young man climbed on his face: "Auntie, after I tell you, you have to help me keep it a secret, otherwise...... The queen mother will definitely punish the kneeling and expanding the child. ”

"You...... Do you know ...... You...... Secretly leaving the palace for this woman named Han Ying? Zhu Ye'er unconsciously raised her voice.

Frightened, Zhao Kuo hurriedly raised his index finger like a thief and sighed repeatedly: "Auntie, don't shout, if the queen mother hears it...... How do you know if Kuo'er has secretly left the palace? ”

In an instant, Zhao Kuo's body was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and he had always thought that outsiders would not know about his private exit from the palace, but who would have thought that a silent and low-key aunt would already know.

"You are a little careful, do you think you can hide it from the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother just doesn't pursue you, not to mention that the Queen Mother also knows your thoughts, and she is curious about what the parents look like, as long as you don't make any trouble, the Queen Mother will only be a ....... Zhu Ye'er explained to the surprised Zhao Kuo with a smile.

"But my aunt...... It seems like there's a mess now. Zhao Kuo looked a little difficult to start in front of Zhu Ye'er, so he had to poke the letter written by Ye Qing in Zhu Ye'er's hand, he believed that with Zhu Ye'er's cleverness, he would immediately understand what was going on when he saw this letter.

Under Zhao Kuo's long wait, Zhu Ye'er read it several times in a row before sighing and putting the letter on the table next to him.

"Auntie......." Zhao Kuo exclaimed with some apprehension in his heart.

"Who else knows about this?" Zhu Ye'er is in front of today's saint at this moment, where is the slightest bit of a so-called palace maid, in Zhao Kuo's eyes, she can almost be equated with his mother Li Fengniang.

"In addition to Ye Qing and Wei Jing, there are ...... And the cousin who took me out of the palace...... Oh no, yes...... It was a woman sent by Ye Qing to pick me up. Zhao Kuo faced Zhu Ye'er's gaze, and had to explain from the beginning to fifteen and ten, how he left the palace with Xie Daoqing, and how to know Han Ying.

After explaining, looking at Zhu Ye'er, who frowned and didn't speak, Zhao Kuo asked cautiously, "What does my aunt think...... Is this Ye Qing's solution feasible? ”

Zhu Ye'er sighed again, glanced at the letter next to her and said, "Naturally, it is feasible, but I still need to think about how to mention this matter to Han Yanjia, and whether Han Ying is willing to enter the palace...... Do you know? ”

"Expand your ......." Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt as if all this was his wishful thinking, although he had secretly met Han Ying a few times, but in fact, until now, Han Ying still didn't know his identity at all: "I don't know if she wants to, but ...... But I think I should be willing, right? ”

Zhu Ye'er looked at Zhao Kuo, who was a little embarrassed and at a loss, but she thought in her heart, since Ye Qing suggested so, then it must have his intentions, so if you don't help, you have to help, not to mention, this is obviously beneficial to Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo to ease the suspicious relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Presumably, Ye Qing also hoped that through this matter, he could ease the relationship between him and Zhao Kuo, who was not very trusting.

"I'll leave this matter to my aunt, but you can't sneak out of the palace again during this time, otherwise it will ...... if the queen mother finds out again." Zhu Ye'er came back to her senses and said to Zhao Kuo.

Without waiting for Zhu Ye'er to finish reminding him, Zhao Kuo immediately nodded and agreed as if pecking rice: "Mmmm."

Well, then this matter will trouble my aunt, but I don't know how my aunt hid it from her mother? ”

"It's not a secret, it's just that I won't tell the Queen Mother for the time being, once ...... Once all this is settled, the Queen Mother will not care. Naturally, the most important thing is that it is best that this matter will not cause the courtiers above the court to discuss, so ...... Therefore, Ye Qing suggested that you need to think of some reasons to promote Han Yanjia, and besides, you can't mention this matter immediately, you need to wait for the slave maid to ask the Han family, and then you will be on the side, so that whether it is Han Ying or Han Yanjia, you can realize your sincerity to them. Zhu Ye'er analyzed Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded again and again, and said with a mum in his mouth: "Yes, the promotion of Han Yanjia is to be famous, and it must also be after my aunt mentions to the Han family to let Han Ying enter the palace, after all, if the Han family opposes Han Ying entering the palace, then when the time comes, I will promote Han Yanjia to be the servant of the ministry, I am afraid that Han Yanjia will not be too embarrassed to refuse to let Han Ying enter the palace because of this holy grace, right?" ”

Zhu Ye'er smiled and nodded, "So for now...... What should you do in order to be able to promote Han Yanjia to become famous in the future? ”

Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up instantly, and he said with a little surprise: "Sending Han Yanjia to the Northland, and Ye Qing, who is tacitly concerned, will inevitably make it convenient for Han Yanjia because of this matter, so in this way, after Han Yanjia returns to Lin'an, I will have a reason to promote Han Yanjia, and during the time when Han Yanjia is not in Lin'an, I can still meet with Han Ying......." ”

What Zhao Kuo said in the end, Zhu Ye'er was no longer listening, but she found that Zhao Kuo at this time was very much like a person, and that person also gathered a lot of beautiful women around her, and even she herself was intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself.

"In this way, you can also learn some things about the Northland through Han Yanjiaduo, right? As for the name of the sending, it may be ....... Zhu Ye'er said with a deep groan.

"Now that Kaifeng has been set as the capital of Liudu, and Han Yanjia went to Kaifeng to check the matter of staying in the capital on my behalf, whether it is above the court or in Ye Qing, it makes sense?" Zhao Kuo continued Zhu Ye'er's words and said.

"Yes, exactly." Zhu Ye'er replied with a smile, and then glanced at the letter again, then got up and saluted Zhao Kuo to say goodbye, after all, Zhu Ye'er is still nominally Li Fengniang's palace maid now, and naturally everything must be dominated by the queen mother.

And Zhao Kuo also believes that with the influence of Zhu Ye'er who has served her mother for many years, as well as her status in the palace and even in front of hundreds of officials, she is the best candidate to persuade Han Yanjia and Han Ying to enter the palace, which also makes him have to admire Ye Qing's keen and powerful insight again, even if he is in the north, he can accurately find the key points and key people to break the game.

Rubbing his hands a little excitedly, Zhao Kuo's mind began to think about when to summon Han Yanjia into the palace, and whether it was better to summon Han Yanjia directly into the palace, or whether it would be more appropriate to summon Han Yanjia into the palace on his behalf.

Zhu Ye'er, who walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, raised his head and took a long breath, and began to think about how to tell the Queen Mother about this matter, and what should be hidden for Zhao Kuo.

Over the years, Zhao Kuo has grown up with her own eyes, and there is naturally a relationship between the two, and even Zhao Kuo has been with him for a longer time than the Queen Mother, and he has helped Zhao Kuo cover for many years and helped him escape the Queen Mother's punishment for him.

In Shi Miyuan's house, Lou Jian ran over in a hurry, and the first thing he said when he saw Shi Miyuan was: "My lord, something is wrong." ”

"Why are you so flustered? Could it be that the Jin people defeated Ye Qing and rushed straight to Lin'an? Shi Miyuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said with a slight hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

The key to the building, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly walked to Shi Miyuan and said: "Today, the saint decrees that Han Yanjia, a foreign man, will be summoned into the palace. Xia Guan felt that this matter was quite strange, so he was a little panicked. Think about it, this Han Yanjia is just a small outsider, how could the Holy Lord know who he is? And now he suddenly wants to summon this person to the palace to discuss ....... ”

"It's just a member of your ministry, even if the Holy Lord summons him to discuss matters, what can it mean? If it is a good thing, it will naturally fall on the head of your official Shangshu at that time, and if it is a bad thing, then it is also a matter of Han Yanjia alone, what does it have to do with you? Shi Miyuan got up slowly, walked to the window with his back to the panicked building key, and continued to say slowly: "Say, what is the Holy Lord calling this person into the palace for?" ”

"The saint didn't say it, but just asked the lower official to immediately order Han Yanjia to enter the palace." Lou Jian looked at Shi Miyuan's fat back and said.

"Who will enter the palace to meet the Holy One these two days? For example, Li Lifang, Liuzheng, Bi Zaiyu and other people? Shi Miyuan frowned slightly, how could Zhao Kuo know that there was a foreigner named Han Yanjia in the ministry?

The names of Xie Shenfu, Liuzheng, Li Lifang and others crossed through his mind one by one, but they were all vetoed by him one by one, and even Ye Qing from the North Land flashed in his mind, and then Shi Miyuan immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

Han Yanjia is just a small outsider, how could he be known by a hero like Ye Qing?

"Li Lifang, Lord Li, entered the palace yesterday, went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, and also went to the Holy Qinzheng Palace, as for Liuzheng and Xie Shenfu, they have not ...... in the past two days." The key to the building reported to Shi Miyuan.

"Just find some people to stare at the Li Mansion, especially the sedan chair that pierces the eyes, Li Lifang's sedan chair is said to have been given to him by Ye Qing as a congratulatory gift for moving to the head of the household department, and this Han Yanjia is also quite talented, could it be that Li Lifang wants to win this person into the household department? Send someone to find out. Shi Miyuan continued to look out the window and said.

Li Lifang is now in the household department, and he has never been able to sort out all kinds of things in the household department, and he once boasted about Haikou in front of the saint, what since he was appointed as the household secretary, he will inevitably make the old appearance of the household department change the new look and other words are still in the ear, but now Li Lifang is a household secretary, but it is difficult to move an inch in the household department.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Li Lifang began to recruit talents in other ministries, wanting to help him open up the complicated situation of the household department.
