Ye Qing, who was wearing a robe, stood still in front of Zhao Kuo and Li Fengniang, and after the scars on his body were covered by his clothes, the pressure from Ye Qing's body also instantly made him feel a lot more relaxed for Zhao Kuo.

Li Fengniang glanced at Ye Qing deeply, and in addition to some relief, there was also some pride in her heart.

"Today is the day of great joy for the saints, and I almost swept away the interest of the saints, and I hope that the saints will not take it to heart." Ye Qing tied up his robe and said.

Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing a little suddenly, like a beast that had rushed out of the cage, and instantly returned to a gentle and elegant appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"King Yan's matter today is indeed a little improper, don't forget, although you are the envoy of the sixteen states of Yanyun, but you are also the king of Yan of my Great Song Dynasty, and you will personally compete with the envoys of other countries, so it is unseemly, and I hope that King Yan will know how to be reserved in the future." Li Fengniang didn't wait for Zhao Kuo to speak, so she said lightly.

"Yes, the minister must remember the teachings of the Queen Mother, and he will never act impulsively again in the future." Ye Qing's words were quite respectful, and his expression was equally respectful, but in Li Fengniang's eyes, he felt that Ye Qing was just doing routine things at all, and he didn't take her words to heart at all.

Zhao Kuo, who came back to his senses, looked at Ye Qing's eyes at this time, obviously different from usual again, and even at this moment, there was a trace of heat and worship in his eyes, and said: "Just now, I was quite worried about you, I was afraid that you were not the opponent of the Mongolian envoy, but I didn't expect that King Yan did not disappoint me, and also gave me a surprise." Of course, it is not a disappointment for me, as the Mongolian envoy said, the right to cheer me up today. ”

"That's good, the minister is still afraid that because of today's little episode, he will sweep away the saint one dragon and two phoenixes...... Uh-huh, hmm-hmm....... Shi Miyuan didn't know when he came to him again, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth was immediately covered by Ye Qing quickly.

Ye Qing is naturally not afraid to continue to ridicule Zhao Kuo on today's happy day, but if he continues to ridicule Zhao Kuo in front of Li Fengniang, I am afraid that after today, Li Fengniang will immediately settle accounts with herself, so for the sake of safety, she had to hurriedly cover Shi Miyuan's mouth with her sweaty hand.

Zhao Kuo watched Shi Miyuan's mouth be covered by Ye Qing in time, and immediately showed a knowing but somewhat embarrassed smile, while Li Fengniang was a little inexplicable, feeling that the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became a little obedient.

At this time, Mu Huali on the other side had also slowly sobered up, and after looking at the somewhat concerned Chagatai, he instantly understood that he had lost to Ye Qing just now.

"Are you alright?" Chagatai asked with some concern.

Whether it is Shu Chi or he Chagatai, or Mu Huali and Qiu Chuji, it is obvious that they can't have three long and two short in Lin'an, otherwise, I am afraid that after returning to the grassland, it will be difficult to explain to their father Khan Temujin, after all, Mu Huali is extremely important to Temujin, and Chagatai naturally does not want to implicate himself because Mu Huali has three long and two short.

"I'm fine, my skills are not as good as others, and I am convinced." Mu Huali's expression was calm, he might feel unwilling to lose to others, but losing to Ye Qing was not a shame for him, on the contrary, it would even make him feel a little proud.

"Then you're resting for a while, don't get up yet." Chagatai said to Mu Huali, who was looking around and struggling to stand up.

Mu Huali ignored Chagatai's words, but searched for Ye Qing's figure in the hall where everyone was watching and talking.

When he saw Ye Qing's back, Mu Huali immediately got up and walked in Ye Qing's direction.

Seeing Ye Qing's subordinate Mu Huali walking towards Ye Qing again, the Daqing Palace, which had been talking about it, instantly became a little quieter, I don't know if this Mu Huali is not convinced, and wants to compete with Ye Qing again.

Li Fengniang and Zhao Kuo's eyes slowly looked behind Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan unconsciously looked back behind them at the same time, only to see Mu Huali, who had come to his senses, striding towards them with a solemn expression.

Shi Miyuan's first reaction was to hurriedly take a few steps back, stretching the distance between himself and Ye Qing far away, afraid that if the two clashed again, it would affect him.

Zhao Kuo and Li Fengniang looked at Mu Huali who came over, and their hearts that had just relaxed were instantly nervous, and they were just about to remind Ye Qing to be careful, when they saw Mu Huali stop in front of Ye Qing only three or five steps away, and then saluted Ye Qing solemnly.

Raising his head and looking at Ye Qing, Mu Huali said with a serious expression: "King Yan is very skilled, and he will be ashamed of himself in the end, so he will naturally lose." The last general will remember the lesson that King Yan gave to the last general today, and hope that there will be a chance to compete with King Yan on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Okay, if there is a chance, this king will not show mercy, and you Mu Huali will not faint, but ...... I'm going to wring your neck off. Ye Qing said with a calm smile.

Mu Huali was not angry because of Ye Qing's toughness, but instead glanced at Chagatai who was closely following him, and then looked back at Ye Qing, and said sincerely: "If the last general can be killed by King Yan himself on the battlefield one day, it will be the honor of the last general." The last general will leave Lin'an tomorrow and return to my great Mongolia, before leaving, please don't forget what King Yan promised the last general in the West Lake some time ago. ”

Hearing Mu Huali mention the matter that he and King Yan had discussed in private in front of many people, Shi Miyuan's eyes rolled again, and even Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly tightened unconsciously, not knowing Ye Qing's private

What a deal was made with the Mongols?

The other people in the main hall, at this moment, naturally focused their eyes on Ye Qing's body again, in front of the current saint, the Mongolian envoy suddenly mentioned his private transaction with Yan King Ye Qing, which made everyone's first reaction be that this was the Mongolian envoy deliberately in front of the saint to embarrass Ye Qing.

Li Fengniang frowned slightly, looking at Ye Qing's tall back, of course she knew that Ye Qing would have some tacit deals with the Mongolian envoys behind the back of the imperial court, but today it was exposed in front of hundreds of officials, Ye Qing was afraid that it would be difficult for Ye Qing to step down, and ...... Especially the expression of Zhao Kuo next to him made Li Fengniang's heart full of doubts.

But Ye Qing didn't seem to notice that there were countless strange eyes in the Daqing Hall at this time, and he still said calmly: "Okay, no problem, as long as this king can do it, he will never refuse." ”

"In this way, there will be King Lao Yan." Mu Huali saluted Ye Qing again, then turned his head to take a letter taken out by Chagatai and handed it to Ye Qing, saying: "All kinds of classics and other requests that the last general wants are all in this letter, and the last general has already made a list, and I hope that King Yan will not keep his promise." ”

Ye Qing didn't open it in front of everyone, raised the envelope in his hand and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow before you leave, this king will definitely help you prepare these, even if there are some things that can't be found in a hurry, this king will send someone to send them to you in the future." ”

Mu Huali stared at Ye Qing, who was calm and unhurried, nodded, and then walked to the outside of the Daqing Hall without looking back, Chagatai looked at the back of Mu Huali leaving, and after hesitating, he still saluted Ye Qing and said: "There is King Lao Yan, my nephew is here to say goodbye to you, I hope that one day my nephew can have a drink with King Yan in my Great Mongolia." ”

Ye Qing smiled and patted Chagatai's shoulder, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm optimistic about you, in short...... Much better than your brute force brother. In the future, we must remember that not everything in this world can only be solved by force, and many things are ...... here. ”

Ye Qing pointed to his temple, and then continued to smile: "As long as you are willing, there are far more things that can be solved with your brain, far more than you imagined, and it is much easier." ”

"Remember, nephew, nephew takes his leave." Chagatai looked at Ye Qing's deep eyes, his heart trembled slightly, at this moment, he felt that he was a little invisible in front of Ye Qing, as if all his thoughts had been seen through by Ye Qing.

With the departure of the Mongolian envoys, the envoys of Dali and Jin obviously did not need to continue to stay, not to mention that their task of coming to the palace to congratulate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had also been completed, so at this time, Ye Qing also began to take the letter from the Mongolian envoys in his hand, and after Zhao Kuo, Li Fengniang and others left the Daqing Palace one after another, they said goodbye to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Ye Qing, who walked out of the Daqing Palace, didn't have to think about it, he knew that Shi Miyuan would inevitably follow closely by his side, and wanted to know the deal between him and the Mongolian envoys as soon as possible.

Similarly, Li Fengniang and Zhao Kuo were also very curious about what the Mongolian envoy wrote in the letter to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing generously handed over the unopened letter in his hand to Zhao Kuo, and then casually took the lantern in Qingqiu's hand on the side, looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "The Holy Lord might as well open it here and take a look, the request of the Mongolian envoy." ”

"It's ......." After Zhao Kuo subconsciously accepted the letter, he was somewhat hesitant in his heart.

Shi Miyuan on the side was naturally afraid that Zhao Kuo would hesitate and return the letter to Ye Qing again, so he hurriedly said: "King Yan asked the Holy Lord to review it, presumably the content of this letter needs to be ruled by the Holy Lord, so the minister thinks that the Holy Lord does not need to shirk it." ”

When Zhao Kuo heard Shi Miyuan's words, he unconsciously frowned and turned around to look at Shi Miyuan, and the displeasure in his expression and eyes, although it was a flash, was still accurately captured by Shi Miyuan, and the current saint seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself.

Since Shi Miyuan was able to capture Zhao Kuo's dissatisfaction with the glance he looked at him, Ye Qing naturally would not miss Zhao Kuo's fleeting displeasure just now.

said with a smile on the side: "What Zuo Xiang said is right, I'm afraid that if it weren't for Zuo Xiang's personal competition between the minister and the Mongolian envoy, I'm afraid the minister would not have received this letter today, or maybe he would not have received it tomorrow." At that time, the minister said that he would have to go to the palace one more time to ask the Holy God to judge this matter. ”

Shi Miyuan was stunned for a moment, Zhao Kuo was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Qing's smiling cheeks, and smiled knowingly.

Li Fengniang was silent on the side, but whether it was Shi Miyuan or Ye Qing's verbal confrontation, or Shi Miyuan's verbal agitation in the Daqing Palace, it was obvious that they were already faintly in front of Zhao Kuo at this time, making unremitting efforts to attack each other.

Zhao Kuo, who already has a plan in his heart, before today, in his heart, he was still quite partial to Shi Miyuan, after all, he saw everything Shi Miyuan did on the surface, especially the political affairs above the court, Shi Miyuan did help him a lot Zhao Kuo.

So before today, between the two important ministers, no matter what aspect he weighed, Zhao Kuo would almost always stand on Shi Miyuan's side without hesitation, and regarded Ye Qing as his first confidant.

But what happened in the Daqing Hall today made Zhao Kuo change his opinion on Shi Miyuan, especially when Shi Miyuan provoked Ye Qing to personally compete with the Mongolian envoys, which made Zhao Kuo instantly dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan in his heart.

In Zhao Kuo's view, no matter how dissatisfied Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing are with each other, and how they fight openly and secretly in private on weekdays, but today in front of the envoys of various countries,

Both of them should stand in the position of the imperial court and take into account the overall situation of the imperial court.

But Shi Miyuan obviously didn't think so, but wanted to embarrass Ye Qing in front of everyone, and didn't take into account his face as the emperor under the circumstances at that time, and whether the face of the court would be damaged because of this.

Just imagine, if Ye Qing loses today's competition, won't he, Zhao Kuo, the Empress Dowager, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty court lose face in front of the world? How will they face and deter the envoys of Dali, Jin and Mongolia in the future?

Fortunately, Ye Qing did not disappoint Zhao Kuo in the end, and naturally what Shi Miyuan didn't expect was that Ye Qing's body was scarred, and even looked a little terrifying, which made Zhao Kuo unconsciously respect Ye Qing.

In addition, Ye Qing not only won the Mongolian envoys, but also won the competition in a very short period of time, which is definitely an excellent deterrent for the Jin Kingdom, which has just bowed down to the courtiers, and the Dali Kingdom, which has been relying on the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo, who was reading the letter of the Mongolian envoy at this time, never noticed that he had unconsciously changed his opinion of Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan again: he was more and more respectful of Ye Qing, even with a hint of admiration, and the act of agitating Ye Qing to some of Shi Miyuan's villain behaviors today had made Zhao Kuo begin to dislike Shi Miyuan from the bottom of his heart.

Shi Miyuan's expression looked very dignified when Zhao Kuo read the letter, Zhao Kuo's unhappy look when he looked at him just now, as well as smiling at Ye Qing, especially the eyes that looked at Ye Qing with some admiration, all made Shi Miyuan feel a great sense of pressure and crisis in the depths of his heart at this moment.

Ye Qing's afterglow glanced at Li Fengniang on the side, and then looked at Shi Miyuan's somewhat deep expression, his mood at the moment was somewhat relieved, and even seemed a little relieved and happy.

"Why do they Mongols want so many classics of our Song court?" Zhao Kuo looked at the long list of classics in the letter, as well as some lists of commodities about salt, iron, cloth and tea, and asked Ye Qing with some puzzlement.

"This is a long story, and I am afraid that the minister will not be able to explain it to the Holy Lord for a while. What's more, today is so important to the Holy One, if we talk about these things, wouldn't we be distracting from the joy of the Holy Lord's wedding. Why don't you stay for a while, and then the minister will perform the holy in detail? Ye Qing said with a deep groan.

Li Fengniang instantly understood a little, plus the things that Ye Qing was talking about a few days ago, as well as Ye Qing's scruples and vigilance against the Mongols, Li Fengniang nodded a little clearly on the side.

Zhao Kuo handed the letter back to Ye Qing, since the content did not have any sensitive and rebellious issues, then naturally it had to be handed over to Ye Qing.

"Okay, I'll hear you explain it in detail when I'm empty." Zhao Kuo said with a relaxed smile.

Ye Qing deliberately said extremely general and vague, which made Shi Miyuan's expression next to him always be more dignified, and even because he was thinking about what Ye Qing and the Mongols were going to do with these classics, they ignored the departure of Zhao Kuo, Ye Qing, and Li Fengniang.

Li Fengniang left Ye Qing in front of Zhao Kuo on the grounds that she still had something to ask, and on the way to Cining Palace, Li Fengniang, who was accompanied by Ye Qing and beside her, felt a sense of steadfastness that she had never felt before.

Qingqiu and Zhu Ye'er followed behind the two from a distance, and Ye Qing slowly walked forward with the palace lantern and Li Fengniang in his hand.

"Expand your child has finally grown up, and I don't have to worry about everything in the future." Li Fengniang said with a rare appreciation of the beautiful scenery in the palace at night.

The gentle breeze blew, making Li Fengniang, who was dressed in palace clothes, look a little fluttering at this moment, Ye Qing looked up at the bright moon above his head, and said lightly: "Maybe it will be ...... after the matter of Dali, Ziqi, and Luodian is completely resolved." ”

"Expanding the territory and fighting on the battlefield, is it really that important to you Ye Qing? Now like this...... Isn't it good? Li Fengniang looked back at Ye Qing and asked with a hint of puzzlement.

"People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and it seems to be a peaceful and prosperous world, but it may also be full of dangers. You have seen the strength of the Mongols today, ....... Ye Qing said with a somewhat solemn expression.

Li Fengniang sneered with some disdain and said, "Today, the palace really didn't see how powerful the Mongols were, and they could make you so scruples all the time." By the way, do you have other intentions in that letter? ”

In a corridor pavilion not far from Cining Palace, Zhu Ye'er placed a yaoqin next to it, and Qingqiu put refreshments and exquisite wine and food on the table.

The sound of the piano is like flowing water, flowing gently in the night, Ye Qing and Li Fengniang sat opposite each other, looking at Li Fengniang with a leisurely expression, Ye Qing smiled slightly and said: "The reason why there are so many classics for the Mongolians, and even in the future, there will be literati and celebrities who will go to Mongolia to help each other is just because of four words." ”

"Four words?" Li Fengniang raised her wine glass and drank it all and asked.

"The divine right of kings." Ye Qing said lightly: "This world is far bigger than what we see, naturally there are too many dynasties, almost most of them are not like my Great Song Dynasty, in fact, there are still royal power ...... dominated by divine power." ”

"Like Tibet?" Li Fengniang blinked, and instantly guessed what Ye Qing meant, after all, her current pessimism about Buddhism was completely because of the man in front of her, those few words of divine chatter.

Li Fengniang and Ye Qingyue had a heart-to-heart talk, and Shi Miyuan at this time, after finding that Zhao Kuo, Ye Qing, and Li Fengniang were no longer around, after looking back at the direction of Daqing Palace, which was still brightly lit and lively, he walked out of the palace a little lonely.
