In Lin'an after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Kuo became more and more busy, meeting in the morning, practicing guns in the afternoon, and even continuing to summon Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, Yu Yunwen and others because of the Western Expedition.

And in addition to summoning other courtiers, Zhao Kuo would also personally go out of the palace to King Yan's mansion, and then ask King Yan for some questions.

Of course, the reward of busyness is that the household department finally doesn't have to worry about him or the queen mother.

Since Yan Wang Ye Qing personally recommended a scholar named Zhu Shijie to serve as the head of the household department, the entire household department has become orderly from top to bottom, especially in the matter of account books, and even Li Lifang shouted happily, and complained about why Ye Qing didn't recommend this person earlier.

As the household department began to enter the right track after Shi Miyuan, the other five departments also carried out personnel adjustments and rotations one after another, and although Yan Wang Ye Qing did not serve as any dispatch in the court, but now whether it is in the hearts of the officials in the court or in the hearts of today's saints, they have become the most important and relied on people.

One of the evidences that can best show that Yan Wang Ye Qing has surpassed Zhao Ruyu, Wang Huai, Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan's status and influence in the court back then is that now in the Daqing Hall where the court meeting is held, there is an extra chair, and the function of this chair is that in the limited few court meetings of Yan King Ye Qing, not only can he not kneel to the saint, but he can also not stand left and right like other courtiers, but can sit as steadily as Mount Tai on the chair that was moved to the court hall by the saint Zhao Kuo personally for King Yan.

It is precisely because of this chair that Zhao Kuo personally moved for Ye Qing to sit on, so that Ye Qing is now above the court, even if he does not have any official position, but the power in his hands has completely surpassed the power in the hands of the left and right ministers, which can be described as a real dictatorial court.

At the same time, the Flower Planter Army, which was originally sent by the palace, has now been stationed outside the city again, and the entire Lin'an City is sent by the Praetorian Guards who replace the forbidden army to serve as the dispatch of the entire Lin'an and the palace.

Originally, it was only planned that the Guards Division, the Palace Front Division, and the Imperial City Division would form the Praetorian Guard, but in the end, after King Yan's proposal above the court, another Janissary Division was added, thus forming four divisions each performing their duties to guard the capital Lin'an and the Imperial Palace.

Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Yu Yunwen have naturally become the courtiers that Zhao Kuo relies on very much, especially Yu Yunwen, who was originally only sent back to Lin'an by Ye Qing from Yanjing, completely to prepare for Zhao Kuo's next imperial expedition, but Yu Yunwen's ability and insight, as well as his suggestions on various problems after the reform of the court, almost all coincide with everything Zhao Kuo wants.

As a result, Yu Yunwen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, returned to Lin'an after many years, and became the right minister after resigning.

is also because Yu Yunwen has been reused by Zhao Kuo beyond imagination, so that Ye Qing can naturally have more time to travel the mountains and rivers, and even a few days ago, he secretly went to Shaoxing and other places with Li Fengniang.

Now that Ye Qing, who has only returned to Lin'an for a few days, has once again seen the current saint Zhao Kuo in his palace, compared to the past, the relationship between the two before can be said to be more and more harmonious, and the tacit understanding that is difficult for others to understand is also becoming more and more sophisticated.

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, as insiders, naturally had to say something about Zhao Kuo's efforts on the school field in front of Ye Qing, such as being able to hit every shot and so on.

However, in just over a month, Ye Qing can also see the results of his efforts from Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, who was a little chubby himself, although he was not as capable and strong as those soldiers in the army at this time, at least the appearance was no longer as fat as before, but the whole person seemed to be much stronger.

With Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm leaving under the pretext of acquaintance, only Zhao Kuo and Ye Qing were left in the hall, compared to the somewhat embarrassing scene every time the two met a while ago, now the two are used to each other's new identities.

Of course, there is also a tacit understanding between the two of them to ignore Ye Qing and Li Fengniang's sightseeing during this time, but Zhao Kuo intentionally or unintentionally told Ye Qing about other things that have happened in the court and his own thoughts about the next court

The intention of the church.

At the end of the day, Zhao Kuo's words also faintly revealed the hope that Ye Qing could stay in Lin'an for a long time, and even bring his family members back to Lin'an from Yanjing.

Ye Qing first shook his head silently and smiled, and then looked into Zhao Kuo's eyes looking at him, and said, "Although Lin'an is good, it is too supportive, and it is easy for people to forget the safety of the frontier here, for the imperial court...... Not a good thing. What's more, the Great Song Dynasty's attention should still be in the north, Mongolia and Jin have always been the confidants of the imperial court, if they can't completely solve the troubles, I am afraid that they will go south sooner or later, so ....... ”

Seeing that Ye Qing wanted to refuse, Zhao Kuo didn't wait for Ye Qing to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Although what King Yan said is reasonable, doesn't King Yan know that during my reign in Xining, there was also a war with foreign races in the southwest?" The country of projectiles, the Yue country, called itself the Great Yue Kingdom, took the initiative to attack my Yongzhou City on the West Road of Guangnan, and slaughtered nearly 50,000 officials and people of the Great Song Dynasty after the city was broken. ”

Ye Qing didn't speak, with an easy-going smile on the corner of his mouth, he just stared at Zhao Kuo until Zhao Kuo was a little uncomfortable and began to subconsciously avoid Ye Qing's gaze, Ye Qing said: "It's a good thing to have ideals and ambitions, but ...... Do you think it's feasible to be ambitious? In my opinion, if Ziqi, Luodian and even Dali can be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, then the so-called threat from the Great Yue Kingdom will disappear invisibly. The reason why there was a war with the Great Yue Kingdom back then was precisely because of the containment of the Song Dynasty by Ziqi, Luodian, and even the Dali Kingdom, so that the Great Song army had to guard against the three of Ziqi when they attacked the Great Yue Kingdom in the future. I know you want to be a king of deeds today, but ...... Everything needs to be thought about before acting, meals always have to be eaten one bite at a time, and some things if they are put into the plan too early, they will become a drag on you and distract you. ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing a little blankly, and when Ye Qing spoke, the slight disapproval on his expression gradually disappeared completely.

In the days when Ye Qing was not in Lin'an, Zhao Kuo, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Yu Yunwen discussed whether the army would attack the so-called Dayue Kingdom after the elimination of Ziqi and Luodian.

In this matter, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm were clearly on Zhao Kuo's side, while Yu Yunwen had different opinions, and the reasons given were almost exactly the same as what Ye Qing had just said, so this made Zhao Kuo somewhat shocked, Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing's opinions were so similar.

Looking at Zhao Kuo, who was a little sluggish, Ye Qing sighed slightly and said: "A war that is too protracted is a huge test for all armies, and the longer it takes, both combat power and military morale will be consumed." It can even be said that even if you win Ziqi, Luodian and even Dali, when you turn your head and use troops against the Great Yue Kingdom again, I am afraid that even if the army with high morale seems to be high, it will be difficult to exert all its combat power, and in this way, it may lead to a completely opposite result to you when you conquer the Great Yue Kingdom. ”

"Every soldier in the army is also flesh and blood, tired and dead, since they are human beings, there is no way to fight endlessly, and it always takes time to rest and digest all the effects of war. It's like a knife in your hand, it's a truth that it will be dull after a long time. Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo, and then said with some pointing: "Yes, it is true that the army of the Flower Planter can be called a weapon of war, and its strength is far superior to that of other armies." But if you only rely on the flower planting army, you can only let the victory go to your side, and you can't really win a war completely. ”

"It's ......." Zhao Kuo was a little entangled, or a little bit drilled, especially when he was questioned aggressively by Ye Qing in the Xinwang Mansion that day, which had a great impact on Zhao Kuo's heart, which made Zhao Kuo now want to be able to prove himself, even if he can't compare with the Han and Tang Dynasties in the future, but at least he can completely take off the reputation of the weak Song Dynasty with his efforts.

"As you said, if we want to take off the hat of the weak Song and no longer be looked down upon and laughed at by other races, we need to show absolute strength to prove it. And the country of Da Yue ...... us. Zhao Kuo still said with some reluctance.

Ye Qing shook his head, patted the arm of the chair, and said, "Since you want to, you need to be prepared to be able to win." It's not that you can't, it's that you're ...... now Is there a plan in place? Or is it just a land army to attack the kingdom of Viet? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Kuo frowned, Ye Qing didn't say much, but he felt that there seemed to be some factors hidden in it that he had never thought about.

And just as Ye Qing was about to answer Zhao Kuo's question, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm almost dragged a beggar into the hall.

The expressions of Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm looked full of shock at this moment, and even their faces were a little pale, and the beggar who was put in the middle by the two of them raised his head and glanced at Ye Qing with great effort, and his voice looked extremely tired: "The last general Yelu Li will have seen King Yan, and the last general will guard the ...... of Yuguan with Yelu Yixue." ”

"Did something happen?" After Ye Qing heard the word Yuguan, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and a bad premonition instantly came to his heart.

The first thing that came to mind was that Yuguan was lost under the guard of Yelu Yixue? After Yan Jing led his troops to break through Yuguan, had he arrived in Yanjing at this time? Or is it ...... Or is it ...... What happened to the country of gold? It's Wan Yan Jing's .......

"Wan Yan Jing is dead...... Zhong Silkworm looked at Ye Qing's expression that suddenly became extremely gloomy, and said with his lips squirming.

"Wan Yan Jing is dead?" Ye Qing stood up suddenly, the momentum of the whole person was completely different from the two of them just now, almost under Zhao Kuo's stunned, Ye Qing took a step forward and grabbed the placket of the beggar general: "Wan Yan Jing is dead?" How did he die? Who killed him? What the hell is going on! ”

Zhao Kuo, who was shocked by Ye Qing's sudden change, sat on the chair in a daze, and even a little incredulous, the murderous Ye Qing in front of him was Ye Qing who had just talked to him casually.

And when he heard the word Yan Jing, although Zhao Kuo was not much moved, he also knew that the relationship between Ye Qing and Wan Yan Jing was absolutely extraordinary.

Watching Ye Qing grab the placket of the general's shirt, like a beast, as if he was going to open his blood basin and eat the other party in the next moment.

Yelu Lihui almost trembled with his hands, and handed the bullet casing that Yelu Yixue handed over to him with trembling hands to Ye Qing: "When Commander Yelu got this under the city wall of Yuguan, he immediately ordered the last general to rush to Lin'an to report to King Yan'...... non-stop. ”

Ye Qing snatched the bullet case in the hand of the Yeluli Council for the first time, couldn't wait to loosen the front placket of the Yeluli Society, looked at the bullet case in his hand with an extremely gloomy face, and pulled out the note that was involved in the hollow of the bullet case, and at this time, Ye Qing's mind was almost the shadow of Wan Yanjing.

"Sir is above, and I am bowed by Jing'er.

See this letter...... You and I are afraid that the master and apprentice are separated forever.

I also hope that the begging stone martyrs can safely escort the teacher and the child to you, and the mother and son will ask for sir.

Daikin ...... Jing'er is well aware of her husband's ambition, and even if Jing'er lives, she may not be able to change the fate of Dajin Kingdom. Now that Jing'er has left calmly, Mr. must have more reasons and excuses to go out of the Northern Expedition and be ashamed of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Jing'er hurriedly named the child Wanyan Ankang, hoping that he could grow up safely and healthily.

But...... Can the gentleman promise Jing'er to keep him safe and well?

The seal of the Dajin Kingdom, Shi'er will probably hand it over to you with his own hands, this bullet casing...... Presumably you picked it up from Kang'er's chest with your own hands.

Jing'er has been admiring Mr. for half her life, and she trusts her today, and I believe that Mr. will not fail Jing'er.

If Mr. Riruo drew the territory of Jin into the territory of the Song Dynasty, Jing'er Quanxia knew it, and he was Mr. ...... Congratulate! ”

The letter was not very long, but it seemed that every word was not a word in Ye Qing's eyes, but Wan Yanjing's face jumped into the paper, and he was calmly speaking to him word by word.

I don't know when Ye Qing was left alone in the hall, and even Zhao Kuo didn't know when he had left the hall, only Ye Qing sat alone on the chair, holding a letter that seemed to be able to see Yan Jing's face, silent.
