In history, Ningzong Zhao Kuo was not very good at the ability of court affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as mediocre.

But such a person is still a very studious and principled person, although he is good at listening to the opinions of other courtiers, but most of the time he has no opinions on court affairs.

And now Zhao Kuo of Yujin Garden, although he is only twelve years old, and he can't see his keen interest in court politics for the time being, but no matter what, at least every move now is stronger than that of the current saint.

However, when Ye Qing had to talk to Zhao Kuo, he would also think of it from time to time, why the Emperor Zhao Yan intended to establish the son of King Qing as the prince.

In general, in the rather casual conversation in Yujin Garden, Ye Qing could still feel that Zhao Kuo's body would reveal all the time, which should be due to Li Fengniang's teachings, so that the dull and stubborn side of his body appeared.

It also made Ye Qing understand a little, why at this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly proposed to ask Zhu Xi and others to accompany him, obviously, now that Li Fengniang has taught him, all his own knowledge, at least at this time, has felt that it is a little insufficient, so that he has to ask for teaching, or these gentlemen who make him quite respected.

"Isn't it cruel to fight?" Zhao Kuo sat down in the corridor pavilion, and then motioned for Ye Qing to sit down too, compared to the stranger who had just been distracted by the two of them, Zhao Kuo, who was gradually getting acquainted, had a slight look of agility and immaturity that a teenager should have, rather than a young man.

"Fighting a war is naturally cruel, because people will really die." Ye Qing smiled and continued: "But if you let the minister say it, the minister thinks that the court is even more cruel, even more cruel than the battlefield. ”

"Why?" Zhao Kuo's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.

After a short period of contact, he found that the Ye Qing in front of him was not as bad as those courtiers said in the past few days, but it was not as good as his mother said. But no matter what, Zhao Kuo still felt that although this person was very easy-going with himself, he would still show that kind of bearing that made his heart break from time to time, and whenever such a thought came to mind, some courtiers' impeachment words against him Ye Qing would always appear in his mind.

Xiao Xiong, Yu Chen, etc., in Zhao Kuo's heart, his impression should probably be the image of Ye Qing, and every gesture will give people an inexplicable majesty.

"Because the swords and guns on the battlefield are visible, and the swords and guns above the court are invisible, a word, an action, or even a thought can kill people. There are many conflicts of interest in the court, and when any courtier presents the chapter, no one knows whether he has selfishness in addition to loyalty between the lines. And all this needs to be judged by the prince alone, not just by looking at the music. Ye Qing is also not polite, Zhao Kuo is different from outsiders after all, whether there is that layer of window paper or not, at this moment, he feels that he is necessary, and when Li Fengniang is impatient to push him to the forefront, give the future king in front of him some good words that he thinks.

But whether the prince will listen or not, whether he can listen to it or not, Ye Qing doesn't know, not to mention that it is not something he can master, but since there is this opportunity in front of him, then he naturally does not want to give up.

Lord Ye's words are lonely...... Lone will remember. Zhao Kuo replied very decently, but no one knew if he really pushed in.

However, since stepping into Yujin Garden, Zhao Kuo did not ask Ye Qing again why he did not play the recital of exhorting the Holy Zen position.

As Wei Jing and the others came not far from the two, some courtiers were already waiting in the Yanhe Hall to meet the crown prince, and Zhao Kuo got up to salute Ye Qing and left.

Seeing the young man's figure slowly leaving surrounded by everyone, the smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth gradually disappeared, and a trace of worry slowly surfaced in his heart.

Today's Zhao Kuo is obviously still an ignorant teenager, but after a short contact, Ye Qing can still feel that the four words not knowing the world are too obvious on his body, as if they are engraved on the door of his mind, which can make anyone see clearly.

Ye Qing didn't know whether this kind of Zhao Kuo was good or bad in the court, and he even didn't know if Li Fengniang's way of pulling out seedlings and promoting growth would ruin Zhao Kuo's life.

Ye Qing, who walked out of Yujin Garden, did not go to see Li Fengniang, and Li Fengniang did not send anyone to summon him to meet, but Zhu Ye'er was waiting for Ye Qing at He Ningmen.

Seeing the pretty bamboo leaves standing not far from He Ning Gate in palace clothes and slim, Ye Qing slowly walked over.

"Lord Ye, the queen asked the slave maid to ask you, I want to know what you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhu Ye'er in the palace is much more confident and calm than Zhu Ye'er in Ye Mansion, although she is still a little embarrassed when facing Ye Qing's easy-going smile, but compared to her appearance in Ye Mansion, she is already very relaxed.

"Does my opinion matter to the Empress now? Now it can be said that the arrow is on the bow, and there is no way back. Tell the queen that she should give His Royal Highness the crown prince some free and relaxed environment on weekdays, or maybe this will allow her to get a satisfactory prince and a qualified king to the Song court. Ye Qing said with some emotion in his heart.

"The slave will definitely convey Lord Ye's words truthfully. By the way, Lord Ye, the queen asked the slave maid to tell you that in a few days you can prepare the northern land, and in a few days, the queen mother and the queen mother will return to the palace. So Lord Ye ....... Zhu Ye'er naturally knew what the queen's words meant, but at this moment, facing Ye Qing's easy-going cheeks, she didn't know why, but she was a little speechless.

Ye Qing smiled indifferently, looked back at the palace behind him, and said, "Tell the queen that I already understand what she means." After I go back today, I will always be ready to go north and go to the court, and since I promised her that she would not interfere, I will not break my promise. ”

"Lord Ye......." Zhu Ye'er looked at Ye Qing, who was about to leave, looked at Ye Qing with some hesitation, and said, "Lord Ye, you ...... You...... Are you really not worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or are you really not worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a grudge against you? Maybe...... Maybe Ye'er can do you a favor, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not hold a grudge against you. ”

Looking at Zhu Ye'er, who was a little panicked, Ye Qing's heart couldn't help but be moved, compared to Li Fengniang, she cared more about her own power, and the Zhu Ye'er in front of her now seemed to be thinking more about him.

"The last time you forged a holy decree, the queen should have known about it, but because it was related to the emperor, the queen didn't pursue it. And in the apricot garden, the queen creates opportunities for you and me ....... Ye Qing looked at Zhu Ye'er's cheeks, which instantly became a little pale, held Zhu Ye'er's shoulders with both hands, and said sincerely: "I know in my own heart, you are not allowed to make your own decisions in this matter, otherwise, the consequences will ...... You know the character of the queen better than I do, don't you? ”

"Ye'er...... Ye Er just wanted to do Lord Ye some favors, and didn't want to see the prince hate Lord Ye ...... in his heart. Zhu Ye'er lowered her head, and said a little afraid to look into Ye Qing's eyes.

Ye Qing could think that since Zhu Ye'er forged the holy decree that night, this method that was not seen through by anyone would naturally become Zhu Ye'er's best choice.

Although Ye Qing didn't know how Zhu Ye'er would help him, Ye Qing knew that once Zhu Ye'er helped him was discovered by Li Fengniang, it would not be difficult to make Zhu Ye'er disappear into the palace silently with Li Fengniang's means and current power.

What's more, now with her relationship with Zhu Ye'er, as long as she can stay with Li Fengniang, then for herself, it will be a matter of more advantages than disadvantages, if Zhu Ye'er is allowed to take risks again, Ye Qing is afraid that it will harm Zhu Ye'er, which is obviously more harmful to him who is about to go to the Northland.

Listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Zhu Ye'er nodded silently, although there were still some hidden worries in her heart, but her originally frowning brows eased slightly.

"Ye'er listens to your orders." Zhu Ye'er said obediently, and she was also very moved by Ye Qing's concern for her own safety.

"As long as you're okay in the palace, then everything is still uncertain. The crown prince was now only twelve years old, and there were some things that he should not be aware of now. And as time goes by, when the prince is older, he will surely understand some of the things of today. Ye Qing still has great confidence in the prince, after all, the prince is still too young now, even if he tells him some things, he may not be able to understand them at this age.

Every age should have something to do at every age, Zhao Kuo should grow up carefree at this age, and now the young and old style has been stereotyped by Li Fengniang, so when Ye Qing sees Zhao Kuo, he will involuntarily think of his two baby sons in Yangzhou, who still have no heart and lungs, and will only be angry every day.

So for Ye Qing, he believes that he will have the opportunity to contact the prince in the future, once the northern land is truly stable, once everything can develop in the direction he expected, then everything will have a chance to be corrected.

What's more, if at that time, if he can persuade the imperial court to move the capital, then everything will be under his Ye Qing's control.

Of course, this process will be very difficult in the future, and it may even be impossible to do it himself, but to the point where he is today, he has to continue to walk along this path.

After returning to the mansion, Zhong Qing came to him as soon as possible, and Ye Qing obviously had no intention of concealing it, and told Zhong Qing one by one that Li Fengniang had agreed that he would go north in a few days.

Zhong Qing, who instantly became a little depressed, began to be full of all kinds of reluctance to Lin'an.

Lin'an, Yangzhou, and then back to Lin'an, in the past few years, the focus of life has almost been in Lin'an, and now she suddenly wants to leave Lin'an and go to a place she has never been, even the north, which is a little melancholy and reluctant for Zhong Qing, who is ready in her heart.
