As soon as the Shangyuan Festival passes, the three people who were defined by Duan Zhilian of Dali will go to Dali with them, and they will not return to Lin'an until they see Duan Zhixing ascending the throne as the emperor and Dali has no objection.

The commander of the Imperial City Division, who was one of the most indiscriminate, basked in the warm sunshine sprinkled on his body from the window, the depression of losing the position of Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and the haze of being reprimanded by Zhao Gou were instantly swept away by the sun.

Quite enjoying the tea handed over by Jin Se, put his feet on the table, and began to think about who he should take to Dali, Zhao Qi'er? Xu Qing? Or Mo Xiaobao?

Mo Xiaobao can't bring it, and now there are people in the family who are more important than himself, so at this time, the only people who can bring it are Zhao Qi'er and Xu Qing.

I originally wanted to bring broad beans, but broad beans are now in Yangzhou, and it is not convenient, not to mention that with Yang Jian going to Yangzhou as a pacification envoy, there is no shortage of broad beans and the military judgment who has returned to Sizhou.

Just when Ye Qing was basking in the sun, squinting comfortably and pondering the affairs of Dali and his party, Bai Chun appeared mysteriously next to Ye Qing.

"Do you know where Yu Yunwen will go?" Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, who was enjoying his face, and asked.

With his eyes slightly closed, the sun shining on his body, Ye Qing, who was dreaming, stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air in the direction of Bai Chun's words, Bai Chun, who couldn't stand his husband's childish behavior, slapped Ye Qing's hand in the air angrily, and said impatiently: "Do you want to know?" ”

"Of course, good steel has to be used on the blade." Someone who was hit on the back of his hand slowly opened his eyes and said confidently.

"How?" Bai Chun's thirst for knowledge is very strong now, and she doesn't believe that Ye Qing can figure out the thoughts of the imperial court just by guessing.

"Judging by the way you asked, you know that I obviously guessed it. Huainan East Road was handed over to Yang Jian, which means that the Shengshang's mind is not on Huainan East Road, and Huainan East Road can only be regarded as a place for the imperial court to hold on to now, and if you want to go on a northern expedition, it is naturally impossible to cross the Huai River to fight with the Jin people. So I guess...... One of the four roads of Lizhou Road, Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road will be the place where Yu Yunwen was sent, and the possibility of Lizhou Road being dispersed will be greater. After all, if you want to plot the Northern Expedition, it is a good way to go north from now on. Ye Qing analyzed proudly.

"Take Shu Road?" Bai Chun said in surprise.

"The Great Song Dynasty is now serving as a pacification envoy, and now only Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road are always placed, and the rest are all done. And if you want to entrust Yu Yunwen with the post of pacification envoy of Lizhou Road, it will obviously conflict with the interests of the Han family. After all, the Northern Expedition from the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road was proposed by the Han family. But if the saint wants to reuse Yu Yunwen and use his talents to reorganize the four-way army in the Sichuan Gorge, and he can't let Yu Yunwen interfere in politics and finance, he can only let Yu Yunwen be the envoy, so that the intention of the imperial court has been achieved, but it is difficult to say whether it will really have an effect. Ye Qing continued to squint his eyes and said.

"Are you saying that it is possible that Yu Yunwen will be blocked in Lizhou? Will you be constrained? Bai Chun asked solemnly.

"The original intention of the imperial court is good, but the reality is that if there is no right to pacify the envoys, how can those local dignitaries be controlled? You can't send another knot, can you? Shengshang hopes that the four roads of the Sichuan Gorge can be united, but this can only be a good wish, to the bottom, all kinds of relationships and interests are intricate, intertwined, want to plot the Northern Expedition, and look forward to the future, this is destined to be another farce. Ye Qing sighed helplessly.

Lizhou Road, Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road were called the four roads of Sichuan Gorge when the imperial court had not yet crossed to the south, which was also the name of Sichuan later.

Lizhou Road Han Yanxuan and the Han family have stayed for a long time, Chengdu Fu Road has been operated by Zhao Ruyu for many years, Tongchuan Fu Road and Kuizhou Road also have such and such a relationship, and the saint supported Zhao Ruyu to take revenge on King Xin, but deposed King Xin to Kuizhou Road.

originally wanted to use this to get Zhao Ruyu's support, but deposing to Kuizhou Road obviously would not satisfy Zhao Ruyu, and he would offend the Han family and touch the interests of others.

The court always wants to be a good person, a bowl of water is even, and no one can be offended, but in the end, he became Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not a person inside and out.

If you want to rely on just one envoy to reorganize the army of the four roads in the Sichuan Gorge and become the backbone of the Northern Expedition against Jin, and you are not willing to let the Han family, Zhao Ruyu and others dominate the family, in the end, all the intentions of the imperial court will only be consumed in the internal strife below, and as for the road of the Northern Expedition, it is even more out of reach.

And this is why even without Ye Qing, a traverser, the Great Song Dynasty court not only wanted the Northern Expedition, but also did not want to touch the interests of some wealthy families, both sides wanted to curry favor, and in the end they could only harm the imperial court, so that the officials kept fighting among themselves, and the Northern Expedition made no progress.

"Isn't there a better way?" Bai Chun bit his lip, and also felt that the imperial court was so forward-looking, in the end, it was just useless, and in the end it only stabilized the Zhao and Song dynasties, so that the officials below were inseparable from each other.

"Yes, let Yu Yunwen serve as the envoy of the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road, grasp the military and politics, do not have to care about the old forces and interests, and the imperial court will strongly support it to the end, so it is impossible to say, the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road is really likely to become the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty to advance into the Central Plains and recover the lost territory. It's a pity that whether it is the imperial court, the saint, or the emperor, they don't have such courage at all, at most they just make a small fight, and it has no effect, and in the end it only makes the powerful ministers of the wealthy families more stable their power. Ye Qing handed the empty teacup to Bai Chun.

"Is Princess Shin really dead?" Bai Chun took the teacup and asked suddenly.

There was an inexplicable chill behind someone, leaning on the back of the chair and slowly turning his head, looking at the beautiful face, he was stunned and said, "Can this still be fake...... ”

"You are full of lies, see what you do in the future! If only the pregnant Allure knew about ....... Bai Chun stretched out his index finger, poked Ye Qing's head, and said angrily.

"I'm going to Dali in three days." Ye Qing hurriedly got up from the chair and looked at Bai Chundao who was walking out.

"Hurry up, out of sight and out of mind." Bai Chun, who didn't look back, said coldly.

Bored at home, he sat indifferently until the evening, which allowed Liang Xing to set up a car and began to go to Yongjin Building.

Shi Miyuan was the east, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan were accompanied, and the three of them invited Duan Zhilian, the grandson of the Emperor of Dali, to a banquet, and then they would go to Dali together three days later.

Ye Qing has never been very clear about the title of the imperial grandson, and he has always regarded it as a grandson, but when Yan Dajia informed him, he completely understood that the imperial grandson was actually the title of the heir to the throne, not a royal grandson, who could call himself a title.

But even after gaining insight from Yan Dajiaren, after seeing Duan Zhilian, Ye Qing still looked at him, and always felt that the title of the imperial grandson was a bit casual, and it felt like it was sealed as a joke.

But Duan Zhilian seems to be quite proud of his title as the emperor's grandson, after all, for him, this is the rightful heir to the throne in Dali, if Duan Zhixing doesn't want to be the emperor and wants to become a monk, then he is the first legitimate heir by virtue of the title of the emperor's grandson.

Of course, all the prerequisites need to be established on the fact that the Gao family in Dali has no covetousness for their Duan imperial power, otherwise, it will be difficult for even his father to sit on the throne now, otherwise he would not have let him run to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for help.

The relationship between Wen Wan and Ye Qing is still unfamiliar, at least in the eyes of others, Wen Wan and Ye Qing are just a relationship of spending money and laughing.

Although it was Shi Miyuan who was the east, Shi Miyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, looking at Ye Qing, who was being gently holding his arm, he rolled his eyelids and said, "Have you heard?" This official and the two of you are not so in the eyes of the grandson of the emperor of Dali, and people still don't look down on us to go to Dali. ”

"This time, you are the head of the envoys, you can let me go back with a word, give an order." Ye Qing's hand stroked Wen Wan's shoulder and said.

"The beauty of thought." Shi Miyuan rolled his eyelids expressionlessly: "According to the envoy on the invitation, that section of Zhilian should have arrived at this moment, but I haven't seen a figure yet, isn't this trying to embarrass us?" ”

"It's embarrassing for you, and it has nothing to do with me." Ye Qing patted his gentle buttocks, and then the two of them laughed and walked upstairs, leaving Shi Miyuan to continue in place, greeting Han Yanxuan who had just come in.

Han Yanxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the backs of Ye Qing and Wen Wan leaving the stairs from Shi Miyuan, and then looked behind him, and then asked Shi Miyuan, who was still embarrassed, "The Dali envoy hasn't arrived yet?" It's all outdated...... I didn't expect that there would be people who dared not to give face to Master Shi. ”

"Do you think that you Han Yanxuan is very important in front of the Dali envoys? Will people give you face? Shi Miyuan's tone was no different from when he spoke to Ye Qing.

What he had just said to Ye Qing was once again told to Han Yanxuan by Shi Miyuan, so Ye Qing, who was laughing with Wen Wan in the private room on the second floor, saw Han Yanxuan come in with a black face, and knew that Han Yanxuan was also extremely dissatisfied with being looked down upon by the Dali envoys.

Ye Qing was on the left, and Han Yanxuan sat on the right side, and after glancing at Ye Qing, he began to pick up his wine glass and drink.

The wordless communication between the two made Wen Wan's face freeze instantly, and she looked at Han Yanxuan with some concern, as if she wanted to reconcile the atmosphere in this room, which instantly became a little embarrassing and suffocating.

Just before he could speak, Shi Miyuan pushed open the door and walked in, hugging left and right, signaling that the woman in the corner could start playing the piano and flute.

As the music flowed in everyone's ears like flowing water, Shi Miyuan, who was the head of the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty to Dali, naturally sat in the main seat, watching the two stuffy gourds have fun each, and he didn't have a good impression of the two, so he also began to entertain himself, ignoring the two of them talking and laughing with the courtesans next to him.

Yingge and Yan Dance in the room, but the zero communication between the three of them also made the women in Yongjinlou have to cheer up one by one to deal with today's scene, after all, the three people in front of them, none of them can afford to offend.

Nearly an hour had passed, and Shi Miyuan's retainers hurriedly ran over, and the marble envoy Duan Zhilian arrived.

"Duan Zhilian has arrived." Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, who were playing happily, and said.

The two turned around at the same time, glanced at Shi Miyuan, and then turned their heads and continued to talk and laugh with the woman next to them, ordering them to drink.

The helpless Shi Miyuan continued to roll his eyes, looked at the indifferent two, waved his hand impatiently at his subordinates, and said, "Let them come up by themselves, I don't have time to pick him up." ”

"It's ......." The next person was stunned, when he was not out of the mansion, the son attached great importance to this matter, and even studied it repeatedly in the mansion several times, why did his attitude suddenly change now.

"If you want to go, you will go, what to see?" Shi Miyuan glared, and the next person immediately walked downstairs with his tail between his legs.

When the door was pushed open again, I saw Duan Zhilian with two subordinates, led by Shi Miyuan's men, with an unkind face.

Whether it was Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, or Ye Qing, they didn't pay any attention to Duan Zhilian's meaning, and even Shi Miyuan just waved his hand at his subordinates, signaling him to go down, and then began to continue drinking and laughing on his own.

The scene in front of him was undoubtedly an insult to Duan Zhilian, whose face was becoming more and more pale, and it was an insult to their Dali Duan clan.

"Is this the hospitality of your Great Song Dynasty? The dignified Song Dynasty, could it be that the courtiers didn't know what the etiquette of the kingdom was? Duan Zhilian's face was much darker than Shi Miyuan's face just now, and he looked at the hall where no one was paying attention to him, and shouted loudly to Shi Miyuan, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Dare to ask your Excellency ......?" Shi Miyuan put down his wine glass, looked at Duan Zhilian, who was pale, and asked.

Duan Zhilian was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty would ask such questions in the face of him.

"Duan Zhilian, the grandson of the Duan clan of Dali." Duan Zhilian stood proudly, with a hint of disdain in his expression, and his gaze swept over Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and Ye Qing one by one.

In his opinion, after hearing his name, the three men should have stood up in fear and saluted him. Then he can use the topic to play, and then continue to reprimand them, and then discuss other things, including who should be the leader on the way to Dali after the envoy cannot be changed.

But obviously the reality is different from what he imagined, when he reported to his home, it stands to reason that even the familiar scene of the Great Song Sect would get up did not appear, the three of them just nodded suddenly, and then continued to enjoy themselves, leaving him aside and ignoring him.

"You ......." Duan Zhilian couldn't imagine that there were such officials who didn't know etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, and there were three of them at one touch.
