The first day is approaching, Lin'an City has already emerged to the Yuan Day can't wait for the desire, the entire Lin'an City sky, half a month ago, has begun to be filled with a festive atmosphere, whether it is the officials above the court, or the merchants who walk in various places, or often gather in Wulin Gate, Da Wazi and other lively places of merchants and shops, literati, ordinary people are also looking forward to the arrival of the Yuan Day, began to count the days with their fingers, began to plan how to spend a festive Yuan Day.

I don't know when Lin'an City has been far away from the threats of the Jin State, the people no longer have to see the Jin people respectfully, or for fear of avoiding them, and the court does not have to be anxious for the annual tribute every year, so that every time the annual tribute, the atmosphere in the court is always a lifeless appearance.

Although the "facts" told from the mouths of storytellers and the common people are still some distance from the real facts, this does not prevent the people of Lin'an City from raising their eyebrows and raising their heads proudly to be Song people.

Ye Qing has divine help in the mouths of the people of Lin'an City, and all kinds of objective factors have been ignored by storytellers and people, thus creating one: today he can appear on Shandong Road to lead an army to attack the city and plunder the land, and tomorrow he can appear on Hebei Road to break through Taiyuan Mansion first, and within two days, Ye Qing will appear in Yanmen Pass and even Yanjing City like a god.

In short, in the mouths of the people and storytellers in Lin'an, Ye Qing is omnipotent and ubiquitous, and it is precisely because of Ye Qing's commander that the armies of the Great Song Dynasty can now conquer the city like a bamboo, recover the lost territory lost by the imperial court back then, and capture the sixteen states of Yanyun that the imperial court has always coveted but never succeeded.

Different from the people's praise and worship of Ye Qing in the north, the courtiers led by Shi Miyuan above the court still have reservations about Ye Qing's attack on the north, and even since when, a wave of water has gradually begun to spread above the court, which is completely different from the people's voice for the Northern Expedition.

"When Ye Qing captured Yanjing, it was the day when Ye Qing became self-reliant in the Northland."

"Ye Qing's drunkard does not mean to drink, under the guise of recovering the lost territory for the imperial court and being ashamed of the second saint, in fact, Ye Qing wants to be the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, so that he can be on an equal footing with the Lin'an court."

"Ye Qing is now a very powerful minister, and his power covers the sky, once Yanjing is captured and the Jin people are driven out of the pass, how should the imperial court reward Ye Qing? The envoy of the Northland Festival is already the greatest right, and the title of Duke of Lu is already the highest title among the ministers. And once Ye Qing is successful in the north, will the imperial court still give Ye Qing the title of king? Most of the clans are still state princes, and if Ye Qing is given the title of king, where is the law of the court? This is suspected of being a tiger, so that Ye Qing can stand on his own in the north, but the court can't help it? ”

All kinds of voices are enough to surround the beam for three days in the court, and naturally in just a few days, they have already reached the ears of today's saint Zhao Kuo.

Taking advantage of Zhu Ye'er to go out of the palace with the Queen Mother, Zhao Kuo secretly went out of the palace again to join Xie Daoqing.

The reason why the Yuan day is approaching, so that there are people with beaming faces everywhere inside and outside Lin'an City, as the war is more and more away from Lin'an, the incense of temples and Taoist temples is also becoming more and more prosperous, especially in front of the Yuan Day, Lin'an has a few Taoist halls and temples, almost all of them are crowded.

Most of the pilgrims in Jingci Temple, either to seek peace and wealth, or to seek marriage, in short, in this era, temples, Taoist temples are more like a platform that can meet people's spiritual world, red men and green women, scholars and young ladies in the festive season, but also more willing to put their unknown wishes, in a pillar of incense, devout to tell the gods to bless.

Under the tall and straight pine, Zhao Kuo and Wei Jing waited for Xie Daoqing and Han Ying, and ran out of the hall holding hands with their eyebrows, at this time in Zhao Kuo's eyes, Han Ying seemed to be so fascinated and made him happy.

Watching the two women running over, Zhao Kuo, who had never left Han Ying, looked at Han Ying who had just made a wish behind his hands and said, "If this Jingci Temple is not working, I will inscribe a plaque on it again." ”

Today's holy words instantly made the two girls feel that the wish they had just made in the main hall seemed to have been eavesdropped on by Zhao Kuo

In an instant, a subtle shyness flashed on the faces of both of them.

The younger Han Ying, with a faint flush on her snow-white cheeks at this time, looked shy, Zhao Kuo's heart was pounding, and he couldn't wait to summon the abbot immediately, even if it was to recite the scriptures on the spot, he had to let Han Ying's wish come true.

Now that the two girls already knew Zhao Kuo's identity, Xie Daoqing almost didn't choke to death from the tea at that time, and Han Ying was in a trance for three or four days after knowing Zhao Kuo's identity, and then finally recovered from the shock.

Coupled with the reason why Zhao Kuo asked her to keep her identity secret, Han Ying at this time did not dare to tell her family about Zhao Kuo's identity, let alone tell her father, who was still in the Northland, that she would be with the current saint from time to time...... That's right, it's when you usually go to court, the boy who kowtows to play in Lin'an City.

The maid, who has always been inseparable from Han Ying, now has to be placed elsewhere by Han Ying at some times because of Zhao Kuo's identity, and only when she goes home will she go back with the maid, and like this time, almost all of them are Han Ying and Xie Daoqing, following Zhao Kuo around.

"My first wish was for my father to come back safely from the Northlands." Han Ying blushed and lowered her head slightly, and said with some fear to look at Zhao Kuo.

In an instant, a slight disappointment passed through the heart of the Great Song Emperor, and he waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed: "Your father will be back soon, it's okay, I don't care." ”

Xie Daoqing glanced at Wei Jing on the side, a little puzzled, what does it have to do with your father coming back from the Northland, whether you care or not?

But fortunately, Xie Daoqing reacted instantly, Zhao Kuo's so-called indifference, I'm afraid it's because Han Ying's wish has nothing to do with him, right?

"Actually...... Actually, I have other wishes ....... Han Ying's head hung lower, and her cheeks were even redder at this time.

"Oh, I wonder what else I wish for?" Zhao Kuo, who had some straight male cancer, lowered his head and had to look at Han Ying's expression and ask.

Xie Daoqing had already reacted at this time, and hurriedly relieved Han Ying on the side and said, "If you say your wish, it won't work...... ”

"No, if it doesn't work, I'll inscribe the plaque first and then demolish the temple ......." Zhao Kuo glanced at Xie Daoqing, and then said as if comforting Han Ying.

Han Ying still lowered her head, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, it will work." ”

"And what is your wish......?" Zhao Kuo chased after him, and Han Ying was a "big rebellion" and "resistant", suddenly raised his head with a touch of shyness, looked at Zhao Kuo and smiled sweetly: "You guess." Then he took Xie Daoqing's hand and continued to walk towards the back of Jingci Temple with a silver bell-like laughter.

"What the hell does that mean?" Zhao Kuo frowned and turned his back.

Wei Jing said on the side: "According to the slave maid's guess, it must be related to you." ”

Zhao Kuo thought about it and felt that there was some truth, although he didn't know how Wei Jing came to this conclusion, but he liked to hear this, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, what you said is quite reasonable, it must be related to me." ”

Wei Jing covered his mouth and snickered, and Zhao Kuo's voice sounded in his ears: "By the way, remember to remind me when I return to the palace, it's time to recruit Han Yanjia and them to come back from Kaifeng." The first day is approaching, when it is time for the family to reunite, Han Ying's wish...... I still need to realize it for her, and I will inscribe a plaque to Jingci Temple tomorrow. ”

"Yes, slaves and maids must be remembered." Wei Jing followed Zhao Kuo to chase after the two women who had already disappeared into the crowd.

And Zhao Kuo suddenly stopped, looked at the crowd of people who had already disappeared the figures of the two women, and continued to walk forward after being stunned.

When he just explained to Wei Jing, Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly remembered Ye Qing who was still fighting in the north, it was said that there was a big snow over there, which he had never seen before, and when it snowed, Ye Qing led his army to be trapped in the mountains.

"I don't know what happened to Ye Qing, he ...... Will there really be a rebellion? Zhao Kuo, who was chasing Han Ying's figure, unconsciously remembered the things above the court in his mind.

Whether it is Zhu Ye'er or the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang, when Zhao Kuogang learned about the various speculations about Ye Qing in the court, he also asked the two of them on the side, but whether it was Zhu Ye'er or Li Fengniang, they were very firm in front of Zhao Kuo

believes that Ye Qing will never rebel.

It's just that...... The Empress Dowager still reminded Zhao Kuo that once Ye Qing's war in the Northland ended, no matter whether Yanjing was taken or not, and whether the Jin people could be driven outside the pass, Zhao Kuo, as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, should issue an order to summon Ye Qing back to Lin'an.

Although the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang did not have a famous word, Zhao Kuo also knew that the queen mother meant that no matter how much Ye Qing could achieve in this battle, he, the king of the Song Dynasty, should take this opportunity to reward Ye Qing.

But how to reward Ye Qing? Do you really want to give Ye Qing the king? Do you really want to be like the rumors above the court, let yourself help and abet on abuse?

When Ye Qing won the first Northern Expedition, the imperial court recalled Ye Qing with fourteen holy decrees, and now Ye Qing is no longer the same as in the past, and the entire northern land is subject to his own will...... Will he really listen?

Kaifeng Mansion was Ye Qing's earliest recital, but now according to Xie Shenfu, Li Xinchuan and Han Yanjia, Kaifeng Mansion has not moved an inch of land at all, let alone rebuilt, even the palace that is about to fall into ruins has not been ordered to be sorted out, and all the silver grain allocated by the household department has been moved by Ye Qing to the Northern Expedition.

Zhao Kuo naturally agreed with the Northern Expedition, because now in Lin'an, in addition to Ye Qinghui being praised by the people, his young king is also loved by the people.

But Ye Qing's private embezzlement of the money and grain for the reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion is also true, and he has never mentioned half a word to him, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he had a lot of contact with him at that time, but Ye Qing simply ignored him, the young emperor, in this matter, so as to make a decision in the north.

This naturally made Zhao Kuo dissatisfied, but now he also knew very well that it was not the time to settle accounts with Ye Qing, so ...... Zhao Kuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a little why the queen mother said that after the war was over, Ye Qing must be summoned back to Lin'an.

At this time, Kaifeng Mansion is still the same as usual, even if the Yuan Day is approaching, but Kaifeng Mansion does not have the slightest festive atmosphere, whether it is the simple government office, or the people of Kaifeng Mansion, etc., the entire Kaifeng City looks completely no different from usual.

This made Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan naturally dissatisfied, although Han Yanjia didn't say it, but he was also quite dissatisfied in his heart, even because Ye Qing was now fighting in the north, so it made Kaifeng Mansion unable to have a festive Yuan Day, but there shouldn't be no atmosphere, right?

After all, Ye Qing was just a courtier of the Song court, not a prince today, so naturally he shouldn't affect the atmosphere of the Yuan Ri in other places because he was at war with the Jin people in the north.

But King Qing and Zhang Kui were indifferent, and even in their eyes, there was only Ye Qing and no court law, even if several of them had vaguely mentioned that this year's Yuan Day might be able to take advantage of Ye Qing's Northern Expedition to do something by the government, so as to highlight the orthodoxy of the imperial court for the north, and let the people of the world know that the north is my Song Jiang, but they were all rejected by King Qing and Zhang Kui.

The reason is nothing more than that Lord Ye is still on the Northern Expedition now, and if other places celebrate like this, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of Lord Ye and all the soldiers under his command, and even affect the battle against the Jinren.

Just three days before the first day, Huainan Road pacified Meng Gong and led an army of nearly 20,000 to appear outside Kaifeng Mansion, which immediately made Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan extremely frightened, and for some reason a large army suddenly appeared outside Kaifeng Mansion.

But the army did not do too much to stop outside Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion accumulated over the years of grain and grass, weapons, armor and other things, after being taken away by Meng Gong, Meng Gong led an army of 20,000 to cross the Yellow River, along Xu Han's original route to the north, on the first day of the Yuan began to go north.

And because of the appearance of Meng Gong, and Han Yanjia was suddenly recalled to Lin'an, and the Andong Protectorate captured Zhuozhou, and joined the army of Zhigu to land in Yanjing City, Ye Qing had already obtained Wuzhou, so that Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan did not dare to point fingers in Kaifeng Mansion and other matters, and only two days later, King Qing, Xie Shenfu, and Li Xinchuan led other officials to be recalled to Lin'an.
