In the next two days, after Mo Xiaobao and King Qing returned to Lin'an, Ye Qing immediately began to confirm the evidence of the crimes of the officials in the north, and because Shi Miyuan had been executed by Zhao Kuo, the matter of signing and drawing the pledge, although there was Shi Miyuan's handprint, but I am afraid that no one knew that the handprint was just the handprint of a dead man.

And Li Fengniang has seen Zhao Kuo in the Cining Hall almost every day in the past few days, and I don't know when the eunuch behind Zhao Kuo has an extra weapon on his back that he had seen in the Xinwang Mansion, and at that time the weapon was in the hands of Ye Qing and several others.

There are often loud noises in the palace in the past few days, and Li Fengniang has never taken it seriously, but today when she saw Zhao Kuo, who was elated and sweating profusely, and the eunuch with a weapon behind him, Li Fengniang had already guessed a little of the truth.

But even so, Li Fengniang still clenched her teeth on Zhao Kuo's desire to drive the conquest in person, and she didn't intend to let go.

Zhao Kuo, who walked out of the Cining Hall again, immediately asked for the gun from the eunuch Zhang Dehui, and then looked at it while walking, and sighed from time to time: With this sharp weapon, the queen mother should not worry, alas...... It's hard to put into words.

"General Jia said that this gun is the one used by King Yan himself, and it was made by King Yan himself in his early years. As for the thirteen guns in the hands of the guards of the Qinzheng Palace, they are also the only weapons in this world, except for one gun in Mongolia, ....... Zhang Dehui told Zhao Kuo the origin of the gun in his hand.

Zhao Kuo's expression was obviously shocked, he unconsciously slowed down, and looked down at the gun in his hand again, at this time, because of Zhang Dehui's words, this gun suddenly became different in Zhao Kuo's eyes.

"You mean it's for King Yan?" Zhao Kuo still asked rhetorically.

"Exactly, you can see that on the butt of this gun, it is a leaf character engraved by King Yan himself in the early years, which is enough to prove that this gun was used by King Yan." Zhang Dehui stretched out his hand and pointed to the leaf word on the butt of the gun and said.

Zhao Kuo nodded clearly, he had just used this sharp weapon with the help of Jia Shi in the past two days, coupled with the shock of every loud noise, as well as the range and accuracy of the bow and arrow, so that Zhao Kuo had always ignored the leaf words on the butt.

At this time, he unconsciously stroked the leaf word with his hand, as if he felt as if Ye Qing was not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"By the way, what did you mean when you said that Mongolia still has a handful?" Zhao Kuo came back to his senses and asked again.

"Back to the Holy Heavens, I listened to General Jia's words, because King Yan had saved Emperor Wanyan Jing of Jin from the hands of the Great Khan of Mongolia, Temujin, and in exchange for letting them go, Temujin asked King Yan for a gun and the soldier who had the gun. General Jia's guess is that the Mongols should have wanted to build their own ...... in exchange. "Since Zhang Dehui served Zhao Kuo, he is now familiar with Jia She, the quasi-commander in the palace, so he also knows some things in detail.

Of course, there is also Zhao Kuo's secret instruction, that is, he hopes that Zhang Dehui can learn more about Ye Qing's friendship with Temujin through contacting Jia She, especially why he cares so much about Wan Yanjing, the emperor of the Jin State, and naturally includes Ye Qing's various actions in the north over the years.

Zhao Kuo's move sometimes even he himself doesn't know what the real purpose of these things is.

Now he has a lot of trust in Ye Qing, just as Li Fengniang swore to him that Ye Qing would never rebel, Zhao Kuo now also believes that Ye Qing, the king of Yan, will never rebel in this life.

But for some reason, he still wanted to understand Ye Qing's various things in the Northland in the past, and the most important thing was naturally why Ye Qing was so special to Wan Yan Jing, even at the cost of being under siege, to rescue Wan Yan Jing and his wife, and even made Zhao Kuo feel a little unbalanced in his heart.

"King Yan made a mistake, how can such a sharp weapon be easily given to others, for the sake of a perfect Yan Jing but with such a divine weapon, no matter what, King Yan did not do it right in this matter. By the way, didn't the queen mother just say that she was going to summon King Yan into the palace? You will wait here for a while, and when you see Queen Yan, tell him that I don't want this magic weapon to be learned ...... by the Mongols. Zhao Kuo pulled the bolt back and forth, and the crisp metal sound sounded in his ears, which was so pleasant and comfortable.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the slave maid was also very worried when General Jia told the slave maid that Mongolia also had a rifle given by King Yan. But General Jia said that such a divine weapon is now difficult for anyone to imitate except Yanjing can make it, let alone the Mongols. And even Yanjing, even over the years, has only built these dozen guns, so the saint knows how rare and precious such a divine weapon is. Zhang Dehui hurriedly comforted Zhao Kuo on the side.

Zhao Kuo continued to study the rifle in his hand, and then nodded silently, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Go and tell Jia She, let him go to the school field immediately, and bring plenty of bullets, now I am not very familiar with this rifle, the accuracy is too poor, I have to do it before I go on the expedition." ”

"Holy ......." Zhang Dehui looked a little embarrassed, looked at Zhao Kuo's expression of indifference, and then said cautiously: "The queen is still waiting for you in the Qinzheng Palace, are you ...... at this time I'm afraid it's not suitable to go to school, right? ”

When Zhao Kuo heard Zhang Dehui's words, his expression, which was originally quite interested, immediately became a little sluggish, and he sighed helplessly, and then looked up at the sky, because of Yan Keji's matter, it was not the first time that the queen begged him for mercy, but ...... This matter started because of King Yan again, and now he Zhao Kuo, under the balance of the two parties, it should be on the side of Ye Qing, King of Yan.

At this time, in the Cining Palace, Li Fengniang was stuck in contemplation with her chin on, and when Zhu Ye'er put the teacup in her hand, Li Fengniang didn't notice it because she was too focused on contemplation.

Until Zhu Ye'er spoke, "Are you still very worried about the safety of the Holy Emperor's personal expedition?" But you have also seen the sharp weapon on Zhang Dehui's back behind the saint today, does this already mean that King Yan is ready to hand over the most brave and warlike army under his command to the saint to go to the southwest ....... ”

Li Fengniang, who came back to her senses, let out a long sigh, frowned and looked at Zhu Ye'er with a little expression

Er didn't feel easy, and said with some worry: "It is precisely because of his Ye Qing's appearance that he wants to hand over his elite soldiers to be led by Kuo'er, so I am not at ease." ”

Zhu Ye'er frowned slightly, and looked at Li Fengniang with some puzzlement: "Slave maid...... The slave maid was a little puzzled, could it be that the armies under the command of King Yan who had fought in the south and the north were not as good as ....... ”

"My concern is not so much whether these armies are brave and good at fighting, but ......." Li Fengniang took a deep breath, and then said thoughtfully: "What I'm worried about is that these armies are only loyal to Ye Qing and not to Kuo'er. ”

"Isn't it holy to be loyal to King Yan only? But....... Zhu Ye'er was even more puzzled, and her brows instantly furrowed.

"Take the flower planting army in Lin'an now, these people have followed Ye Qing for many years, whether it is in the north or in Lin'an, Ye Qing is backed by this army, no matter what the situation, in the end, they can rely on the flower planting army to save the day, and thus come to such a high position today. And in the eyes of these people, it is natural that only Ye Qing has no court, how has the court treated Ye Qing over the years? Li Fengniang looked at Zhu Ye'er and asked.

Looking at the silent Zhu Ye'er, Li Fengniang sighed slightly again: "Ye Qing may no longer care about the injustice that the Song family has done to him over the years, not to mention that he is already a supreme minister, and he has me and Kuo'er as a restraint, so that he Ye Qing has no room for further progress now." Can...... The soldiers under his command have also witnessed how the imperial court treats Ye Qing, so even if Ye Qing doesn't care about the injustice that the imperial court has done to him over the years, will the soldiers under his command not care? What's more, there are very ......few people who know that I and Kuo'er can contain Ye Qing. ”

"You mean ......." Zhu Ye'er's already white cheeks turned pale at this time, and her red lips looked at Li Fengniang with a little trembling, and said with difficulty: "Are you worried that the generals under the command of King Yan will hide that King Yan is not good for the saint?" ”

"It's not that this palace spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but ...... This is the harsh reality. Li Fengniang looked very helpless, and continued: "Which of those soldiers who are willing to follow Ye Qing to the soup and the bloody battlefield doesn't hope to enjoy glory and wealth one day?" Now presumably, in the eyes of some generals, it can be said that they are just one step away from enjoying the fruits of victory in so many years of battlefield fighting. Above the court: Han Yanxuan is dead, Shi Miyuan is now in prison, King Qing and King Wu have followed Ye Qing for many years, the Emperor Taishang is delirious, and he has always believed in Ye Qing, as if in this world, there are no loyal ministers except Ye Qing! And after the matter of the self-confident palace, the officials above the court were suppressed by Ye Qing in just a few days in the name of eradicating the remnants of the Shi Party. Let alone...... Even if Ye Qing is unintentional, it doesn't mean that those people under his command don't want to push Ye Qing in the end. ”

"But looking at the appearance of the saint these days, it seems that it is difficult to convince the saint to give up the royal conquest? What if that is...... If it is dispatched, it is not close to King Yan...... Zhu Ye'er frowned and said.

Li Fengniang shook her head silently, and then said slowly: "In that case, I'm afraid that Kuo'er will be more dangerous." Who in the court now dares to act without looking at Ye Qing's face? Liuzheng is about to resign and go into hiding, Xie Shenfu is also going to resign, and Yan Keji, the abbot of the country, Ye Qing is not merciless when he is offended. Although these are all related to Shi Miyuan's case, in the eyes of other courtiers, it is by no means so simple. I'm afraid that the things in the Lin'an court have already spread in other ways, not to mention that Ye Qing will never leave Shi Miyuan alive, so he will inevitably expose Shi Miyuan's crimes to the world, so how can the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty not smell the changes in power above the Lin'an court? And who now has the final say?

Therefore, if you send an army that has little to do with Ye Qing to accompany Kuo'er to go on a personal expedition, you must first worry about whether these armies can help Kuo'er win Ziqi and Luodian, and if these generals have the intention of currying favor with Ye Qing...... The consequences are probably even more unimaginable, even more difficult to trust than the army under Ye Qing's command. ”

Zhu Ye'er listened to Li Fengniang's analysis, and instantly became a little frustrated, and said helplessly: "If you directly tell the saint about the worries in your heart, and use this method to dispel the ...... of the saint's decision to want to drive the expedition in person." ”

"Kuo'er already has his idea in his heart, and he has ...... Really grew up. Li Fengniang looked a little melancholy, and continued: "Actually...... I should have been able to see the clues from the day I returned to the palace and went to Deoksugung Palace alone, but at that time, my mind was worried about whether he could accept the reality, and instead ignored the purpose of his visit to Deoksugung Palace. Now what Ye Qing did in Lin'an, Kuo'er chose to acquiesce, from which it is natural to see Kuo'er's attitude and choice towards Ye Qing now, if I tell Kuo'er these worries, I am afraid that the hard-won trust between their monarchs and ministers will ......be ruined. ”

Li Fengniang was very entangled in her heart, she believed that Ye Qing would not poison Zhao Kuo, but it was precisely because of Ye Qing's generosity to the imperial court that Li Fengniang had to worry about Ye Qing's generals who had followed him for so many years, fought in the south and the north, and were born and died, when they realized that Ye Qing was only one step away from the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, would they make actions that Ye Qing could not control.

"So you summoned King Yan into the palace to let King Yan restrain the generals under his command?" Zhu Ye'er asked with some uncertainty.

Li Fengniang still shook her head, smiled and said, "If it's that simple, then it is enough for me to give Ye Qing a decree directly." Now that I think about it, Kuo'er is obviously determined, I must ensure Kuo'er's safety after leaving Lin'an, ensure that he can win the battle against Ziqi and Luodian, and let him return to Lin'an safe and sound. ”

"Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm?" Zhu Ye'er's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, after thinking about it, only Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm may not make a move to hurt Kuo'er, coupled with Ye Qing's restraint, presumably these should be enough to ensure that Kuo'er returns to Lin'an safe and sound. But...... In addition to these, Ye Qing may need to make some more concessions. Li Fengniang's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

When Ye Qing entered the Cining Palace, he saw Li Fengniang pruning potted plants, and the scissors in his hand were still the familiar ones.

Qingqiu took the other palace maids and eunuchs out of the main hall very interestingly, and the whole one

In the main hall, only Zhu Ye'er was left to listen and wait for the dispatch.

Ye Qing saluted Li Fengniang in a decent manner, while Li Fengniang, who was pruning the potted plants, turned a deaf ear, still concentrating on inspecting the exquisite potted plants.

It was just a few breaths, Ye Qing seemed to have guessed why Li Fengniang wanted to treat him like this, and after glancing at the bamboo leaves next to him, he walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

Li Fengniang is still focusing on the exquisite potted plants in front of her: "Now that you are the King of Yan, the queen mother of the palace is also old, and the saint is young, so the King of Yan now takes no one in his eyes." Shi Miyuan was imprisoned by you and put in prison, Han Yanxuan was killed by a knife in the palace in his early years, King Yan deserves to be the King of Yan, and now it can be said that he covers the sky with one hand above the court, and there is naturally no need to be respectful to our orphans ......and widows. ”

"Orphans and widows? Who is the Queen Mother cursing? If you have anything to say, why do you want to sarcastically mock me like this. Ye Qing took the tea handed over by Zhu Ye'er, and Li Fengniang only glanced at it lightly, but she didn't see the eyebrows between the two.

"What has this palace been for, you King Yan should know very well." Li Fengniang finally glanced at Ye Qing squarely, and then continued to look at the potted plants, and said lightly: "The Holy Lord has come to Cining Hall every day for the past few days, and asked the palace to allow him to lead a large army to conquer Ziqi and Luodian, which is probably indispensable to the credit of King Yan, right?" Or rather...... The reason why the saint has such an idea should be due to you, King Yan, right? ”

Ye Qing, who put down the teacup, looked at Li Fengniang, who was still concentrating on the potted plant, and simply got up and walked to the potted plant, stretched out his hand and directly pinched off a thin branch, which immediately attracted Li Fengniang's hands to slap violently.

"It's a good potted plant, I didn't provoke you ......." Li Fengniang shook off the wrist that was grabbed by Ye Qing, and then walked to the chair and sat down and said.

Ye Qing continued to look at the potted plant, picked up the scissors that Li Fengniang had just put down casually, and began to build them casually without thinking.

"I didn't provoke you either, didn't you suffer an unwarranted disaster? The Queen Mother can say whatever she wants, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. Ye Qing said while cutting the potted plant.

Li Fengniang looked at the potted plants that she had carefully cultivated for nearly two months, and now under Ye Qing's left scissors and right scissors, it became as if it had been gnawed by wild dogs, and she sighed angrily and said: "Kuo'er wants to drive the expedition in person, which way do you choose the army to go with Kuo'er?" ”

"Xu Han has gone north two days ago, Mo Xiaobao has just returned to Lin'an for only two days, Zhong Silkworm is disbanding the forbidden army in Lin'an City in the past few days, Jia Shi is now the commander of the front division of the palace and the head of the guard department, and Yu Yunwen will return to Lin'an from Yanjing in a few days." Ye Qing put down the scissors in his hand with some unfinished business, turned to look at Li Fengniang's eyes that were about to breathe fire, looked back at the potted plant that had been cut bald by himself, and then shrugged his shoulders and said: "So if the saint wants to conquer in person, I'm afraid Yu Yunwen will be indispensable to fight with him." Yu Yunwen was born in the imperial imperial examination, and his loyalty to the Song court must be able to rest assured, not to mention that Yu Yunwen is both civil and military, and with him accompanying the saint on the expedition, you must be able to rest assured a lot. Of course, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm will also accompany the saint on the expedition, so that you can completely remove your heart disease. How is it? If the queen mother thinks that there is something wrong, she might as well say it directly, and the minister will go back and plan? ”

"Anything else?" Li Fengniang's expression was not sad or happy, and she said calmly.

"No, that's not enough, isn't it? I have full authority to plant flowers and soldiers, what else do you want? Ye Qing's eyes widened and he asked incredulously.

"I chose an auspicious day for your two sons to marry, and Kuo'er is going to take a royal expedition, and you are in Lin'an, so you might as well summon your two sons to Lin'an, so that the palace can marry them. King Wu is a clan after all, and you King Yan can not care about face, but the royal clan still has to take care of face, and the etiquette that should be there is naturally no less ....... Li Fengniang calmly watched Ye Qing slowly approach her, and then stretched out a hand to pinch her chin and look directly into her eyes.

"You woman is really insidious, you will do everything for Zhao Kuo...... Ye Qing looked down at the still charming eyes and said.

"This is also forced by you, how much have I paid for Zhao Kuo over the years, how can I put him in danger at this time? As a mother, I naturally have to think about him. Li Fengniang let Ye Qing pinch her fair chin and said-for-tat.

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to do what you want, let alone you, even I may not be able to let the two of them come to Lin'an smoothly, where the two of them stay and where they want to go is up to Allure to decide. Don't forget, over the years, my Ye Qing's three sons and two daughters have all been raised by Yan Chengcheng alone in Yangzhou, and what is the relationship between you and Chengcheng and Zhong Qing, I don't think I need to remind you, right? Do you think they'll agree? Ye Qing let go of Li Fengniang's chin and said helplessly.

"It's unproductive, my children can't even be the masters themselves, so I'm embarrassed to lead thousands of troops, and I'm really worthy of your title of King Yan." Li Fengniang said sarcastically with great disdain, and then after watching Ye Qing sit down next to him, she continued: "This matter is not negotiable, I have already issued an order to Zhao Shichun, the king of Wu, early this morning, to pick up his wife and daughter to Lin'an, and the auspicious day of the zodiac has also been chosen, and Zhao Kuo has also agreed to ......." ”

"He Lao Tzu was not recalled by the imperial court from the north of the fourteen holy decrees back then, do you think the holy decree is ......." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang provocatively and said.

"It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll make a holy decree a day, I want to see if there is this court in the eyes of the two of them! If one day the world knows about it, don't blame the palace for not reminding you, when the time comes, it will be shameful that you Ye Qing is not the royal family! Li Fengniang obviously made up her mind, and she wanted to compete with Yan Tingcheng and Zhong Qing again.

"God, help me." King Yan looked up to the sky with a little headache and sighed.

Li Fengniang sneered: "People who don't believe in ghosts and gods and only believe in themselves will even ask God for help?" It's a ridiculous joke! ”

"In this way, then you agree with Zhao Kuo's personal expedition?" Ye Qing asked after praying for God.

"Not necessarily, then it depends on when your two sons arrive in Lin'an!" Li Fengniang said uncompromisingly.
