There is not much festivity in Yanjing on the first day, even if Liu Keshi and others have tried their best to create a joyful and peaceful festive atmosphere in Yanjing, but the sixteen states of Yanyun have just changed hands after all, and there are also not a few people who are still attached to Jinting.

The Jin people left behind on Yanjing Road obviously have not adapted to their identity as Song court people at this time, and the Han people who have lived here for generations also seem a little unfamiliar and disapprove of their current Song court people.

Among them, the literati are the most, whether it is the Jin people or the Han people, although they have accepted the fact that the sixteen states of Yanyun were ruled by the Song court, but deep down, there is still some nostalgia for the period of the Jin people's rule, even under the rule of the Jin people, their so-called Han literati are shorter than the Jin people's literati.

But just like the servility that has been lurking in the bones of the Chinese nation, just like some Muyang dogs in later generations, even if you give him a more equal identity, they are full of obscenity, and they still think that the moon that appears in the sky of Yanjing now seems to be not as round as when it was under the rule of the Jin people.

Liu Keshi scolded this every day, but it didn't help, but Ye Qing didn't seem to be surprised by this, and didn't pay attention to the voices of those literati at all, and similarly, the plan that he planned to place the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate Office and the Yanjing Road Government Office in Wanning Palace after returning from Lin'an was implemented by Ye Qing in advance after the Shangyuan Festival.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when Yanjing's Jin Kingdom Palace, a symbol of royal power and majesty, is completely pulled down from the altar by Ye Qing, what kind of reaction will it cause in Yanjing.

The literati were very dissatisfied with Ye Qing's decision to use the Jinguo Palace as a government office, and some people even did not hesitate to run to the Wanning Palace to shout, but Liu Keshi, who had been prepared for a long time, directly dispatched the arrest and arrest of the Criminal Division in accordance with Ye Qing's instructions.

Almost no reason was asked, but all the literati who gathered in front of Wanning Palace were directly taken down and thrown into the prison.

But fortunately, there was no large-scale rebellion on the entire Yanjing Road, even in Yuguan, which was hundreds of miles away, there was no turmoil because of the indifference of the Jin State, which made Yelu Yixue, who had been guarding here, breathe a long sigh of relief.

There is nothing worth remembering in Yanjing on the first day, and the first day and the Shangyuan Festival in Lin'an are much more lively and festive.

It's just that when the Shangyuan Festival had just passed a few days, the Imperial City Division, which had been extremely low-key in Wuyi Lane, and was even about to be forgotten by the people and officials of Lin'an, suddenly became lively.

Almost overnight, the entire Imperial City Division located in Wuyi Lane instantly increased by hundreds of people, and even the Imperial City Division Prison Camp outside the city had nearly three thousand more soldiers.

And just when the people were dumbfounded, the officials above the court turned their eyes to Qian Xiangzu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Imperial City Division in the city suddenly seemed to come to life, and the camp outside the city suddenly had three thousand more soldiers.

It's just that what Liuzheng and Shi Miyuan didn't expect was that about the three thousand soldiers who appeared outside the city, and the sudden "resurrection" of the Imperial City Division, the current saint Zhao Kuo only nodded lightly after learning about it, and then said perfunctorily: I know it's okay.

When Liuzheng, Shi Miyuan and others began to speculate about what Zhao Kuo meant, a piece of news that caught them off guard was pushed to the table, and the Ye Mansion in Zhonghe Lane suddenly opened the main door today.

The maid and her subordinates began to sweep the courtyard, and the original plaque of Yefu was also replaced with the plaque of Yanwang's Mansion, and the entire mansion gradually showed a thick atmosphere of fireworks, no longer like in the past two years, it has been tightly closed, like a deserted house.

Ye Qing was about to return to Lin'an, and such thoughts flashed quickly in the hearts of the officials in the court.

But the fact is that until now, neither the imperial court nor the Holy Lord have summoned Ye Qing back to Lin'an, but at present, the Imperial City Division in Wuyi Lane and the Yanwang Mansion in Zhonghe Lane suddenly made such a big move, but they all indicate that Ye Qing is probably about to return to Lin'an.

The officials in the entire court were all because of the movements related to Wuyi Lane and Zhonghe Lane and Ye Qing, so that after the festive Shangyuan Festival, it was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads in an instant, which made many officials, including Shi Miyuan and Xie Shenfu, feel quite complicated and worried at the moment.

The only one in the entire Lin'an who is not as immobile as a mountain and is not affected by the movement of Zhonghe Lane and Wuyi Lane in the slightest is probably only Li Fengniang, the queen mother of Cining Palace.

"Queen Mother, is Ye Qing going back to Lin'an?" Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang and asked.

Li Fengniang also looked at Zhao Kuo lovingly, her eyes were full of relief, just after the first day, Zhao Kuo was one year older, and now in Li Fengniang's eyes, it seems that she has really grown up in an instant.

Even if Zhao Kuo today is almost the same as Zhao Kuo before the Yuan Dynasty, the feeling that Yuan Ri is a year old makes people feel that the saint at this time seems to have really grown up.

What's more, this year's Holy Admiral is going to marry a concubine, which means that Zhao Kuo is about to truly enter the adult world.

"Yes, the queen mother agreed to his return." Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo in front of her, and her heart was full of pride and pride.

"So, is it Ye Qing's return to Lin'an to his mother?" Zhao Kuo heard the meaning of Li Fengniang's words.

Li Fengniang nodded and said with a smile: "Are you a little dissatisfied that Ye Qing didn't play to you?" ”

"Erchen is a little dissatisfied in his heart, after all, Erchen is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, although he said that he is now the king of Yan, and last year he also gave Erchen a great gift of Jin Guo's bow and pay tribute, but it shouldn't be in this matter...... But Erchen can understand it. Zhao Kuo lowered his head and groaned, then raised his head with a relaxed smile and said.

Li Fengniang nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said: "On the first day, the Jin State also sent envoys into the palace to congratulate Kuo'er, so in the matter of the Jin Kingdom, you must not worry about whether it is a fake surrender." No matter what, after all, it is Ye Qing's credit, so this time Lin'an did not show you anything, you should not care about it. ”

Li Fengniang said with a pleasant face, Zhao Kuo nodded silently, and then thought for a while: "In this way, King Yan will be able to catch up with the marriage of his son, so it should be a good thing." ”

mentioned Zhao Kuo's marriage, Li Fengniang unconsciously glanced at Han Ying, the palace maid next to Zhao Kuo now.

Now this Han Ying is not so much the palace maid in front of Zhao Kuo, but ...... This is the first concubine that Zhao Kuo himself chose for himself, and it is also the first woman Zhao Kuo to enter this palace.

Now in the entire palace, who doesn't know that this palace maid Han Ying's status in the palace is extremely special, even the eunuch Wei Jing in front of Zhao Kuo is respectful after seeing Han Ying.

So it is conceivable that such a woman appeared in the palace, even if Zhu Ye'er helped Zhao Kuo hide it, how could Li Fengniang not hear of it at all?

Today is also Zhao Kuo's courage, and it is the second time that he has brought Han Ying to Cining Palace, so when Li Fengniang looked at Han Ying, Zhao Kuo's heart was also full of apprehension.

And Han Ying, who had changed into a palace maid's costume, even though she kept her head down when Li Fengniang was talking to Zhao Kuo, when Li Fengniang looked at her, Han Ying could still feel that a pair of scrutinizing eyes had been wandering over her.

At this moment, Han Ying's legs couldn't stop trembling, her mind was already blank because of nervousness, and her hands and feet were a little cold at this time, but even so, she had to bite the bullet and accept the Queen Mother's scrutiny of herself.

Li Fengniang sighed helplessly, her eyes finally took her eyes off Han Ying, and Zhao Kuo also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, at least the queen mother did not object, so it means that everything is settled.

"This is also Ye Qing's idea, right?" Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo, who looked a little apprehensive, and asked.

"Huh?" Zhao Kuo was a little late to react, and then immediately smiled and said, "This ...... This one is really ....... ”

"It's better to be in the palace than outside, just keep your duty and serve Kuo'er wholeheartedly, and the rest, presumably without being reminded by the palace, you should also be clear. The Yan family is agreed by the palace, how to get along in the future, Kuo'er You should have a plan in mind. Li Fengniang's words, although she was saying to Zhao Kuo, but Han Ying on the side still couldn't resist Li Fengniang's majesty after all, and her knees fell to the ground in an instant.

Zhao Kuoyu glanced at Han Ying, and at this time, Li Fengniang's face gradually showed a satisfied expression.

According to Ye Qing's idea to Zhao Kuo at that time, Han Ying was first admitted to the palace as a palace maid, and then after Zhao Kuo married Han, he would choose the right time to marry Han Ying, and as for that time, I am afraid that no one would object.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not without precedent for the royal family to accept palace maids, and even from low-status palace maids, it is not uncommon for them to finally conquer the position of queen in the world.

Just like the queen of Emperor Xiaozong, the current empress dowager, she was just a palace maid in the palace at the beginning, but because of the favor of Emperor Xiaozong, she stepped onto the throne of the queen step by step from Mrs. Anjun to Wanrong and Guifei.

After coming out of Cining Palace, Han Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, but at this time, Zhao Kuo's expression was not as relaxed as in front of Li Fengniang.

Even since he stepped out of the Cining Palace, Zhao Kuo's expression became gloomy, Ye Qing did not show himself that he wanted to return to Lin'an, but he played the queen mother, although he was in front of Li Fengniang, he didn't care about it, but in his heart, he was a little worried about it.

Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's somewhat gloomy face, and instantly put away the relaxation that had just been stretched, and followed behind with Wei Jing in the direction of the Qinzheng Hall without saying a word.

After walking only a certain distance, Zhao Kuo asked Wei Jing to immediately summon Shi Miyuan into the palace, but Wei Jing had just run out two steps before he was called back and changed to summon Li Lifang into the palace.

Wei Jing led the order to leave again, and when he ran a distance of no more than ten steps, he was called back by Zhao Kuo.

At the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time, but finally said: "Summoning Liuzheng and Han Yanjia into the palace." ”

"That's ......." Wei Jing asked cautiously.

"For the time being, there is no need to summon Li Lifang and Shi Miyuan into the palace." Behind Zhao Kuo's young and old hands, he said with a faint anger in his words.

After Wei Jing left again, Zhao Kuo walked into the Qinzheng Hall quickly, and Han Ying, who was a little stunned behind him, hurriedly followed Zhao Kuo's footsteps.

Ye Qing's name can be described as both familiar and unfamiliar to Han Ying, familiar because since entering the palace, she has heard Zhao Kuo and other courtiers mention this name almost every day, as for the unfamiliar component, it is naturally because she has only heard this name, but she has not seen the true face of the only king with a different surname in the Great Song Dynasty.

And even before entering the palace, Han Ying had heard a lot of things about Ye Qing from her father Han Yanjia, naturally, what surprised Han Ying the most was that although her father had been to the Northland, he hadn't even seen Ye Qing's face.

What made Han Ying even more puzzled was that the northern land she learned from her father's mouth was as if it was not the territory of the Song Dynasty, but was all decided by the person named Ye Qing.

It is precisely because of this that Han Ying is extremely curious about Ye Qing, and similarly, because of Zhao Kuo's dissatisfaction, Han Ying is also extremely dissatisfied with Ye Qing in her heart.

"The saint is dissatisfied with Ye Qing's failure to report it, right?" Han Ying blinked her bright eyes and looked at Zhao Kuodao, who was sitting behind the table.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo's tone was solemn: "Even if he, Ye Qing, recovered all the lost territories of my Great Song Dynasty, and even occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that the Jin people bowed down to me, but he Ye Qing should not forget that he is a courtier of the Song court." I had just made him king last year, and now I don't take me seriously, and he dares to ...... without my will. ”

Zhao Kuo said in the end, he didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, in his opinion, Ye Qing should not be like this, not to mention, as long as he opened his mouth, he would definitely not stop him from returning to Lin'an, but why did he ignore himself?

"This Ye Qing is really that ...... Isn't it amazing? Han Ying wanted to be arrogant, but after the words came to her mouth, she involuntarily changed her words.

Although he had never seen Ye Qing look square or round, and he didn't know if this person was really as powerful as the rumors in Lin'an City, the fact that he had recovered the entire northern land, captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, and was able to control the entire northern land in his hands still made Han Ying feel a little in awe of this Ye Qing, who had never met before.

Most of the rumors will be exaggerated, Han Ying naturally knows about it, Lin'an's rumors about Ye Qing can't be fully believed, but she can't not believe it, not to mention, some things are still verified by her father who has been to the Northland, and even King Qing is obedient to Ye Qing.

Therefore, in Han Ying's mind, this Ye Qing must be an extremely vicious person, and as a military general, I am afraid that he is also a wicked person who can make people afraid just by his appearance.

Zhao Kuo sighed again, looked ahead with a somewhat empty look, and muttered: "Ye Qing is indeed very powerful, my Great Song has been bullied by the Jin people for many years, but since Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, the Jin people have no longer threatened the Great Song Dynasty." Even the Jin people praised Ye Qing ....... ”

"But the envoy of the Jin State on the first day of this year seems to be ...... to Ye Qing." Han Ying asked suspiciously.

The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth pulled out a sneer, and said: "That's natural, Ye Qing has a close relationship with Wan Yan Jing, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the two knew each other when Ye Qing was an envoy to the Jin Kingdom in his early years, and ...... Wan Yan Jing has always respected Ye Qing as half of his husband, but Ye Qing has used Wan Yan Jing everywhere over the years, so that the Jin Kingdom not only lost the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, but also lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even almost lost the country. If it weren't for Ye Qing reaching out to help ....... ”

"Ye Qing is really hypocritical, he robbed other people's Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures here, and then went to save the Emperor of Jin from the Mongols, and also helped others to quell the rebellion, doesn't he really know that he himself is Song Chen?" Han Ying frowned.

Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile and glanced at Han Ying, who looked puzzled, and said with emotion: "Maybe...... Maybe Ye Qing felt ashamed of Wan Yan Jing in his heart, right? But then again, if he hadn't saved Yan Jing and helped Jin Guo put down the rebellion, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made him the ...... of King Yan. ”

When he said this, Zhao Kuo's expression was suddenly stunned, and then he faintly felt that he was on Ye Qingdang!

Yes, it was precisely because he was worried that Ye Qing would invest in gold that he did whatever it took to make Ye Qing the king, but now it seems that Ye Qing took advantage of his worries about his return to the gold, and was named king by himself on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, you ...... What's wrong with you? Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo, whose face was ugly, and asked with some concern.

"What a sinister and cunning Ye Qing, he is a bully!" Zhao Kuo slapped his right hand on the table, slowly clenched into a fist, and as his heart thought about it more and more clearly, the right hand that was clenched into a fist trembled involuntarily because of the anger in his chest at this moment.

At this time, Ye Qing, who was far away in Yanjing, had also set off from Yanjing and began to set off all the way south to Lin'an.
