When Ye Qing saw Dong Chao in the mansion, he was a depressed Dong Chao.

Mo Xiaobao whispered a few times in Ye Qing's ear, telling him that Liu Qingyan told him to be careful, Dong Chao was very dissatisfied with everything he saw when he came to Lin'an, and his heart was full of unwillingness and grief, so he should be careful.

But even a depressed Dong Chao did not forget his duties at the first time, after watching Mo Xiaobao leave, Dong Chao immediately took out the secret letter in his arms and handed it to Ye Qing, and hurriedly said: "They have entered Sizhou, because they have the will of the Emperor Taishang, so we can't investigate." However, secretly observing and monitoring their nearly 200 envoys, they were still able to find that there were people with the same identities as the seven people in the northbound grassland. ”

"More, less?" Ye Qing frowned, unfolded the secret letter and glanced at it, the so-called Zhao Gou's will in Dong Chao's mouth did appear in the Jin people's envoy group.

"The number of people should be between three or five people, we can't get too close, they are very vigilant, and they protect those people very closely." Dong Chao said in a deep voice.

"It's hard to do, it's hard to start after entering my Great Song Dynasty." Ye Qing said with a sigh.

"They...... Are they clansmen? Dong Chao asked with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

"Well, I was captured to the Zhao Song clan of the Jin State and suffered a lot in the Jin Kingdom." Ye Qing said frankly.

"Clan killing...... Imperial clan? Dong Chao's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Yes, the clan kills the clan, and the clan kills each other. And the Imperial City Division is the knife in the hands of the clan, the knife that kills people for the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing still spoke in a light tone.

"Hmph, you can really do it if you kill your own people." Dong Chao said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"They are all their own people, and they are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, right? Isn't Kim and Song also their own people beating their own people? Dali, Xia, Liao, Tatars, weren't they all their own people during the Tang Dynasty? Ye Qing smiled disapprethoughtly in the face of Dong Chao's sarcasm and asked rhetorically.

"That's different."

"How is it different?" Ye Qing continued to ask: "In the late Han Dynasty, Wei had Cao Pi, Shu Han had Liu Bei, and Wu had Sun Quan, did they count themselves as their own people killing their own people?" At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou regimes were divided, as well as the so-called Wu State, Southern Tang, Wu Yue, Fujian, Southern Han, Former Shu, Later Shu, Chu, Nanping, and Northern Han. ”

"This ...... But it's always different from now, that's it, the Great Song Dynasty should also be the orthodoxy of this territory, not a corner of peace of mind, and it should be a strong army to recover the north. But why is it that now, from top to bottom, even the people of Limin, no one wants to recover the northern lands and settle for the status quo one by one? Dong Chao didn't know how to answer Ye Qing's question.

But he knows that he should insist on what he insists on, otherwise, his persistence in the past few decades, as well as the southward expectations of the people in the north, will be completely wasted, it is equivalent to a mirror, as if he has been daydreaming.

"The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, but we are just in time for the era of division." Ye Qing smiled, and said with an easy-going attitude: "The height determines the vision, the angle changes the concept, in my opinion, whether it is the Jin people or the Dali people, the Xia people, the Tatar people, or the Liao people, they are all my Chinese people, we are not only the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the people of China, no matter who can unify the other countries in the end, isn't it still my Chinese dynasty?" Of course, emotionally I am the same as you, and naturally I hope that my Great Song Dynasty can dominate China. But is it that simple? You have been in the grass for many years, and thousands of people are difficult to reconcile under your rule, let alone a country? ”

"So the Zhao Song clan who was captured in the north deserves to die?" Dong Chao sighed helplessly, he didn't know that it was difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to regain the lost land.

But looking at the scene of Lin'an City, he always felt very aggrieved and dissatisfied in his heart, and always felt that this was completely different from Lin'an in his heart.

The Great Song Dynasty has lost half of the country, and after being driven away by the Jin people like a lost dog in the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't know that he was brave after being ashamed, but he still focused on pleasure and comfort, without the slightest hint of the intention of recovering the Central Plains, which made him have to be disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Each has his own responsibilities, how can we have the final say in royal affairs? The seven in the Northland, if it weren't for me, would have been dead, but this time, apparently these few would not have been so lucky...... ”

"You can't ......."

"Yes, if they live, I'll die." Ye Qing said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I still need to digest and digest, I really can't accept all this I saw in Lin'an City, this matter is over, I will listen to you and go back to the north." Dong Chao got up, looked at Ye Qing and said firmly.

"Did you really figure it out or are you angry?" Ye Qing stretched out his hand to ask, and then walked out of the house with Dong Chao.

"Today, I was awakened by what Yi'an Jushi said, he said that you are a person who does great things. Then on the way here, I sat in the carriage and thought, those teenagers were thrown on the grassland by you at the beginning, and they will be of great use in the future, so I can no longer be idle in Sizhou, and ...... every day. ”

"After crossing the Huai River, you still have to do these things, but they are much more complicated than the things in Sizhou." Ye Qing stopped beside the carriage, and Mo Xiaobao was very interested in staying away, and even looked around vigilantly.

"Well, I know, find out the strength of the Jin people in various parts of my northern land, and find out the ...... of every road leading to Yanjing, the capital of the Jin people."

"Not only that, but you also have to visit the people in the north and solve the doubts in your heart. As the saying goes, the region will give people a sense of belonging and a strong sense of responsibility to rely on and defend glory. As long as the people can eat well and dress warmly, they won't care whether the emperor's surname is Zhao or Wanyan above their heads, so I'm afraid that there are not many people in the north like you, who are bent on looking south to the king's master, ....... ”

"No way, I bet they must all be ......."

"That's your own idea, not the thoughts of thousands of ordinary people." Ye Qing's eyes became extremely serious and said: "Remember, speak with facts, and use the livelihood you see with your eyes to solve the doubts in your heart." And then there's ...... Jin people are good at horse warfare and not good at water warfare, the waterway of the canal to Luoyang, whether it has been unimpeded, if there is a broken stream, drainage, silting in the middle, these must be told to me. The most important thing is that you also know that the Jin people came to my Great Song Dynasty not only to show off their might, but they also put all kinds of spies with identities in my Great Song Dynasty, and if you go to the Northland, if you can buy and win over ....... ”

"I get it, I'll remember it." Dong Chao nodded vigorously, at this moment, he once again felt that his persistence had not been in vain for many years.

Under the darkness of the night, Ye Qing watched Mo Xiaobao drive a carriage and carry Dong Chao, who had changed from lost soul to refreshed spirits, and then immediately got into the carriage that Liang Xing had just driven out of, and immediately rushed to the direction of the palace.

The Zhao and Song clans in the north entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people had Zhao Gou's will in their hands, was it Zhao Gou's personal will to the Jin people, or did someone take advantage of his will?

Ye Qing, who thought about it all the way, thought about whether it would be Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, or Tang Sihui, the right minister, but no matter which one it is, it is such a blatant Litong Jin person, are they really not afraid of Zhao Gou's anger?

After waiting at the Hening Gate for a while, he heard hurried footsteps from inside, and then Wang Lun appeared in front of Ye Qing with a puzzled expression.

"What's the matter? Running here in the middle of the night to knock on the palace door? Wang Lun grabbed Ye Qing's sleeve, who was about to enter the palace, and asked.

"I'm also worried that you're not in the palace today, and you've gone to Jingle Fang." Looking at Wang Lun's impatient appearance, Ye Qing still said calmly: "The Jin envoy crossed the Huai River and began to go south. ”

"So what, they came here this time to congratulate the crown prince on his wedding, if it weren't for the emperor's sincere invitation, ......." Wang Lun rubbed his hands, although Lin'an is not as good as the north in winter, but this cold weather is even more fatal, and it is not as good as the dry and cold in the north.

"There are three to five of my royal families in the Great Song Dynasty." Ye Qing still said calmly.

Wang Lun, who was interrupted by Ye Qing and just wanted to complain about Ye Qing, couldn't help but gasp, looked at Ye Qing nervously and shockedly and asked, "Are you...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"Absolutely." Ye Qing nodded and said.

"This ...... How is this possible, no, why didn't you stop it from the Imperial City Division? ”

"They have the will of the Emperor Taishang in their hands, and the Imperial City Division has no way, and it is not easy to find out." Ye Qing looked at Wang Lun quietly and said, and then walked quickly to Deshou Palace with Wang Lun.

This is the first time Ye Qing has entered the palace at night, even if he doesn't have time to carefully look at the corners and corners of the palace, Ye Qing can still feel that at night, the security in the palace is much stricter than during the day.

Along the way, even Wang Lun was checked twice, and the token of his Imperial City Division and the fish talisman of the Longtu Pavilion scholar were turned over and over again, and they were checked several times very seriously.

The entire palace is brightly lit, and some places have begun to put up lights at this time, and they have begun to dress up in a festive atmosphere in advance for the upcoming New Year.

Ye Qing didn't know that the night scene in the palace was actually more beautiful than he imagined, especially if he stood on the Phoenix Mountain next to him and looked down, he would find that the entire palace was like a renovated garden in the previous life, as bright as day and wonderful.

Zhao Gou obviously hasn't fallen asleep yet, and he doesn't know if it's because the elderly don't sleep much, or if there are other things, Ye Qing waited at the door of Zhao Gou's study for a while, and saw Zhao Gou, who was in a good mood, and walked over with a smile.

There was no old face pretending to be majestic as Ye Qing expected, and seeing the way he reprimanded first, he actually sat down behind the wide desk, first motioned for Wang Lun to sit for Ye Qing, and then asked Ye Qing with a smile on his face what was the matter with coming so late.

Ye Qing naturally didn't know what was good about Zhao Gou, who was able to make him so happy, and even the fact that he ran into the palace late at night made him unable to raise his spirits and worry about himself.

"There are nearly 200 Jin envoys, and there are ...... in them There are three to five people in my big Song clan. Because they hold your will, the Imperial City Division can't check it, and can only secretly spy on the appearance of three or five people, and the number of men and women is not very clear. Ye Qing lowered his head, he believed that his words could completely extinguish Zhao Go's good mood.

Similar to Ye Qing's expectations, after he finished playing, Zhao Gou was silent for a long time.
