The next afternoon is the last meeting time with the transfer department, but this is just a formality, will not mention the specific situation of the supervision, just thank the transfer department for the strong cooperation and other thank-you meetings, Li Yanqing learned that Liang Fangping was not in Zhending Mansion, and could only be received by the deputy envoy Qi Yao, so he excused himself to write a report in a hurry, and he did not have time to attend, so he asked Wang Zao to preside over the thank you meeting instead of himself.

Before dawn the next day, Li Yanqing left Zhending County and returned to the capital with the supervision envoy and his entourage, escorted by Wang Gui and Yue Fei and 300 soldiers.

The time has reached the seventh day of the first lunar month, Fan Zhixu asked them to return to the capital on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the time is very tight, they have to rush overnight, and they basically can't stop on the road.

In the evening of that day, they were still more than ten miles away from Tangyin County, Yue Fei came to say goodbye to Li Yanqing, Wang Guihui continued to lead the army to send Li Yanqing all the way to the capital, and Yue Fei was going to break up and go home here.

Li Yanqing asked Yue Fei with a smile: "I asked Mr. Mo to give the silver to the fifth brother, did he give it?" ”

"He has already given it to me, and he has given me an extra two hundred taels of silver, I don't want it, he said that you insisted."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "These two hundred taels of silver are the reward for destroying the bandits, and each brother will have fifty taels, and you are the deputy general, so there will be a little more, so you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

Yue Fei also laughed, "Since it's a reward for suppressing bandits, then I'm disrespectful, come!" Say goodbye to your uncle. ”

He picked up his adopted son Yue Yun in his arms and said goodbye to Li Yanqing, Yue Yun said a word in a milky voice, learning from his father to give his hand, making everyone laugh.

Li Yanqing took out a pearl and handed it to Yue Yun with a smile, "This is a gift from the second uncle, do you like it?" ”

"I like it!"

Yue Yun happily held the shining pearl in his hand and refused to let go, Yue Fei was startled, "Yanqing, this is too precious to give it to him." ”

"What is precious or not, it's just a heart, a meeting gift for the child, Agui will accept it for you, and I won't want it?"

"I didn't mean that, okay! Thank you for your kindness. ”

"That's right!"

Li Yanqing said again: "The matter I told you in Zhending Mansion, think about it, I am very serious." ”

Li Yanqing had suggested that Yue Fei move his parents to his father's manor in Ezhou, and that he would provide houses and land, and this suggestion made Yue Fei very moved, he knew that most of the villagers in Li Wen Village had moved away, and even Wang Gui's family had bought a lot of land in Ezhou and Hangzhou.

More importantly, through this inspection, he witnessed the abandonment of the Great Song Dynasty frontier, if the Jurchens entered Hebei, the people of Hebei would be ruined, and it might be a wise move to move their families to a safe place in the south.

Yue Fei remembered that when he was a child, Li Yanqing had said that the Jurchen barbarians would become stronger day by day, and sooner or later they would attack the Great Song Dynasty, and now it seems that his prophecy has been fulfilled day by day, and Yue Fei, like Wang Gui, is convinced of Li Yanqing's words.

Yue Fei smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will discuss with my parents when I go back, if my parents agree, I will go south as soon as possible, and I will come to the capital to find you then." ”

"Good! I am waiting for the fifth brother to come in the capital. ”

Yue Fei said goodbye to everyone again, and ran to the southeast with the child alone, he didn't need to take the official road into the county seat, and went directly to Tangwang Village from another path.

Wang Gui looked at Yue Fei's distant back, and said enviously: "It's still the fifth brother's luck that is the best, and he actually fished out a son to go back!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled: "You kid work hard, I hope to see your son next time I come again." ”

Everyone laughed together, and the team continued to move south, speeding up towards Tangyin County.

.........

Li Yanqing returned to the capital on the afternoon of the 10th day of the first lunar month, and the day before, the other two monitoring teams had already returned first, but he did not violate the rules, at least within the stipulated time.

In the officer's room of the military prison center, Fan Zhixu was looking through the official report handed over by Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing was standing aside, he seemed to want to say something, but it was not easy to distract the chief officer's attention.

"Not bad! Very detailed, much more detailed than the other two reports, and with your report, I can report to the Son of Heaven. ”

Fan Zhixu flipped through the supervision manuscript next to him, nodded and said, "Give me the supervision manuscript together!" What else do you have to say? He saw that Li Yanqing wanted to speak and stopped.

It can be said that the Northern Expedition is not ready at all, the military rations are insufficient, and all kinds of ordnance materials are not only seriously insufficient, but also are obsolete materials decades ago, or even hundreds of years ago, and they have long been unusable.

Fan Zhixu pondered for a moment and said: "When you went to Hebei to supervise, the envoys of the Liao State asked to see the Son of Heaven, they were willing to give up the annual tribute, and they were also willing to return part of the land of Youyun to the Great Song Dynasty, but the condition was that the Song and Liao families jointly resisted Jin, but the result was rejected by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has decided to unilaterally abolish the Tanyuan Alliance, no longer negotiate with the Liao State, and now let the Son of Heaven suspend the Northern Expedition plan, I am afraid it will be difficult to do." ”

"But the Son of Heaven didn't know that the state of combat readiness was so poor, if he knew, he would at least replenish the combat readiness, and he wouldn't go to war in such a hurry, it was a matter of the Great Song Dynasty's national fortunes, so he didn't take it lightly."

Fan Zhixu nodded, "Okay! After I merge the three reports, I will persuade the Son of Heaven that the time for monitoring in Hebei this time is very tight, and the task is also heavy, you have really worked hard, go back and rest for a few days! ”

"There is also a lowly party who met bandits in Cizhou, and they need to give the soldiers a reward of 15,000 yuan, please ...... Xiangguo"

"This matter is not a big problem, the report you wrote before has been approved by the Privy Council, and it can be implemented after the discussion in the political hall, it is estimated that it will be a matter of these two days, I can guarantee this matter, you don't have to worry."

"Thank you Xiangguo, retire from your humble position!"

Li Yanqing bowed and slowly retreated, and when he walked to the door, he hesitated, stopped and turned back and said, "Doesn't Fan Xiangguo think that Liaoguo's proposal is very good?" ”

"What offer do you mean?"

"Song and Liao jointly fight against Jin!"

Fan Zhixu smiled bitterly, this idea is just a matter of mentioning it by the envoy of the Liao State, which Great Song official dares to put it forward without being drowned by spittle, there are indeed many officials in the DPRK and China who oppose the Northern Expedition, including himself, but none of them are in favor of uniting the Liao State to resist Jin.

"It's okay to joke about this, if you take it seriously, even I can't protect you!"

Li Yanqing sighed secretly, Song Liao's hatred was so deep that it had become a national consensus, and it was difficult to change it again, so he had to bow and walk quickly.

After a while, Qin Hui walked into the room and bowed, "See Xiangguo!" ”

Fan Zhixu took out three reports and handed them to him, "You combine these three reports into one, the contents of which cannot be changed in any way, and copy another copy, and hand it over to me before the seventeenth, there should be enough time." ”

Because there are three days of Shangyuan Festival holiday in the middle, there are actually only four days, but this is enough for Qin Hui, and he hurriedly said: "The humble post must be handed over on time." ”

"This report is very important, it is top secret, you must keep it safe, and you must not leak it."

"Be cautious and cautious."

Qin Hui took the report and retreated, Fan Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left the military prison, and returned to the Zhizheng Pavilion.

.........

Li Yan, the head of the inner house, generally does not have too many opportunities to leave the palace, he is not like Liang Shicheng who opens a mansion independently outside, and he can go back to his mansion every day, he has not risen for a long time, and the accumulated qualifications are not enough, but his ambition and greed far exceed Liang Shicheng, and his qualifications are not commensurate.

In fact, it is no wonder that eunuchs have no normal personality, no wives and children, and have lost a lot of joy in life, power and wealth have become the greatest pursuit of many eunuchs, and Li Yan is no exception, when he became a pawn used by Zhao Ji to balance Liang Shicheng, his ambition and greed swelled rapidly.

Although Li Yan does not have many opportunities to leave the palace, if it is profitable, he is still willing to surrender to the noble and reluctantly go out of the palace by himself.

At noon, in a luxurious room on the third floor of the alum building, Li Yan was drinking the best tea and tasting the most exquisite dim sum, he was not very interested in the most beautiful tea prostitute next to him, but he had great expectations for today's harvest.

Sitting opposite him is Liang Zhi, the assassin of Dengzhou, Liang Zhi's other identity is Liang Fangping's cousin, his assassin history is just a virtual official, and he usually has nothing to do, so he became Liang Fangping's contact person in the capital.

He was specially entrusted by Liang Fangping to buy Li Yan today, of course Li Yan will not accept anyone's invitation, he is very aware of the crisis that Liang Fangping is encountering now, and he knows even more about how much oil and water Liang Fangping has made over the years.

Li Yan saw that Liang Zhi wanted to speak several times and stopped, so he waved his hand to let the tea prostitute retreat, and the maids and musicians on both sides also retreated, Li Yan wiped his hands with a snow-white handkerchief, and asked with his sharp and thin voice: "What is Liang Tingshi looking for in our family?" ”

"That's the case, the people from the military prison have gone to Hebei, I'm afraid that the results of the supervision will not be good for my brother, and my brother implores the chief administrator to say good things in the Son of Heaven."

Li Yan laughed, "I'm afraid Liang Tingshi has found the wrong person!" This matter should go to Mrs. Liang, as far as I know, this matter is Mrs. Liang said that the son of heaven, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell! ”

"The chief manager is serious, my brother is Wang Xianggong's person, how can he go to Mrs. Liang?"

"Then it's okay to go to Wang Xianggong, he has real power."

"Wang Xianggong has already gone to find his humble position, but the key is still on the side of the Son of Heaven, and Wang Xianggong can't help."

Saying that, he took out a deed and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Li Yan, Li Yan was not polite, he directly picked up the deed and looked at it, it was Liang Shiping's ten-acre mansion on the bank of the Jinshui River, worth at least 300,000 yuan, this price is quite satisfactory, but for the Hebei capital transfer envoy who can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, this bleeding is not enough.

He pushed the deed back again, "It's about the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." ”

Liang Zhi was stunned, the mansion worth 300,000 guan was not satisfied, what else did Li Yan want, you must know that he only gave Wang Huang 100,000 guan and 10,000 taels of silver.

Li Yan saw that Liang Zhi didn't react, so he got up and said, "I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I'm gone!" ”

Liang Zhi was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly asked, "How much more do you need from the chief manager?" ”

Li Yan glanced back at him and stretched out two fingers, "Add at least another 200,000 yuan, and you won't be able to do anything!" ”

"This.... I'm afraid I'll have to ask my brother for instructions, and I'll give Mr. Li another answer in two days. ”

Li Yan smiled coldly, turned around and walked away, Liang Zhi stayed in the room, I don't know what to do, this Li Yan's asking price is too ruthless, for a long time, he sighed, picked up the deed and hurried back to the house, he wanted to immediately send a pigeon letter to his brother for instructions.
