After Liu Wuyue left the palace, he went straight to Xingyuan, in which Liu Wuyue tried his best to persuade him, but he failed to convince Ye Yu after all.

In the end, in desperation, he had to return to Beijing to make a statement to Zhao Yan.

Liu Wuyue returned to the capital Lin'an and roughly recounted Ye Yu's meaning to Zhao Yan.

I thought that Zhao Yan would be furious this time, but I didn't think that Zhao Yan would wrinkle his eyebrows and ask in a deep voice with a sickly face: "Did he really say that?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, that's what Master Ye said, he said that although His Majesty is a nominal father-in-law, he has been a wild child since he was a child......" Liu Wuyue said in the end, and he didn't dare to say any more.

When Zhao Yan heard this, he first closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then slowly opened his eyes and sighed slightly: "The wild child ......, but it is also ......."

In the end, Zhao Yan waved his hand helplessly, showing a bitter smile: "That's it!" Stand down! ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Wuyue withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhao Yan asked Liang Ke on the side: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"The old slave thinks that Lord Ye is young and frivolous, and if he is so disobedient and disobedient, His Majesty must not let it go......"

"Having said that, what he said is not unreasonable, after all, I owe him a lot over the years!"

When Zhao Yan said this, he coughed twice occasionally, shook his head with a slightly red face, and said, "It was because of this throne that I gave up the things I cherished the most. I don't want this to happen to him now......"

"But what His Majesty promised to the Fu King, how should His Majesty fulfill it?" Liang Ke saw that he couldn't convince Zhao Yan, so he admonished him with the matter of blessing the king.

"Although this brother of mine took the initiative to hand over the military power of a royal army in exchange for a marriage decree from me, in fact, his wishful thinking is much more shrewd than mine!"

"陛xià means ......"

"This young son of mine, after being tempered, if he is a minister, he will be both a famous minister and a powerful minister in the future, and King Fu has spent so much money to win him over is nothing more than to increase his wings!"

Liang Ke nodded slightly in approval: "Your Majesty, in terms of the old slave, although Lord Ye is young and vigorous, he is extremely sophisticated in human affairs, far from being comparable to the two princes of King Qing and King Gong, but it's a pity that ......"

"It's a pity that he is not only a concubine, but his identity can never be recognized!"

Zhao Yan said what Liang Ke didn't say, and then said with a little sadness: "Because of this, I feel that I owe him a lot!" As for this marriage, my will was given, but there was no limit on the marriage period, so I didn't bother to care about how this kid made trouble......"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liang Ke immediately panicked when he heard this: "It turns out that His Majesty has already planned, so even if King Fu wants to pursue this matter, there is no reason at all!" ”

"Okay, I'm tired, these government affairs will be handled by King Qing, let's drive back to the palace......" Zhao Yan stood up with a tired face, and left the Heart Cultivation Hall with Liang Ke's support, and drove straight to the harem.

At this time, in the palace of Prince Gong in the capital, Zhao Dian was listening to the eagle's report.

"My lord, there is news from the palace that His Majesty's body is declining day by day, and it seems that the plan has begun to bear fruit......"

King Gong Zhao Duan quietly looked at the bright moon outside the window, and was silent for a long time before he said to himself: "Well, how is the progress of the replacement of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace?" ”

"Back to the lord, three percent have been replaced!"

"This is not enough, this king will fight for you to have a chance, this matter is urgent, understand?"

The eagle stood respectfully beside him: "My subordinates understand! ”

"By the way, is there any news from King Qing?" King Gong Zhao Dian slowly turned around and glanced at the eagle with deep eyes.

"According to the news from our people, now His Royal Highness King Qing is helping His Majesty to deal with the government affairs, forgetting to sleep and eating all night, and his already weak body is becoming more and more exhausted. Moreover, because the lord deliberately retreated, many ministers secretly resisted King Qing......"

After listening to the eagle's report, Zhao Dian sneered: "This king, the second brother, once he has the power in his hands, he feels that he can call the wind and rain, don't you know that this sharp weapon of the country will eventually kill him!" ”

"This move of the lord is to retreat into advance, which is really a wise move!"

"Hehe, in fact, speaking of which, the second emperor brother is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, but it is a pity that he was deliberately carried up by Taiwei Zhang, Zeng Di and others! But since the second brother of this king has become a stumbling block, then this king doesn't mind kicking him away! ”

When King Gong Zhao Dian said this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "You go to Yu Xiang's mansion and inform Yu Xiangguo himself that no matter how Zhang Shuo, Zeng Di and others press in the future, they must retreat according to their troops!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates are going to ......."

"Wait!"

Zhao Dian immediately stared at the eagle tightly, and said with a cold expression: "The most important thing is to let your subordinates completely lurk, and don't show clues!" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

……

The undercurrent of Lin'an Capital is surging, and Ye Yu is naturally unknown in Fuzhou.

After sending Liu Wuyue away, Ye Yu was in a relatively silent state, and he ignored this holy decree of marriage.

As he said in the palace that day, his marriage is not the turn of others to order mandarin ducks.

Not to mention that the appearance of the righteous daughter of this blessed king is unknown, even if she looks like a fairy, if he Ye Yu is unwilling, even if he is forced to pull by eight horses, he will not be able to pull back the idea of marriage.

The palace sent people to discuss the marriage date several times, but Ye Yu deliberately turned him away, which made Zhao Zhuo, the king of Fu, speechless for a while.

After all, this holy decree only says about marriage, and does not say when the marriage will be consummated, which can be said to be a major omission in the holy decree. Moreover, Ye Yu used the emperor's order to discuss this matter on the grounds that it was inconvenient to discuss it, which was also a very reasonable reason to refuse.

If it weren't for the approaching wedding date of Zhao Yi and Yue Sanniang, Ye Yu would have decided to leave Fuzhou and return to Beijing to resume his life.

However, these days, Ye Yu has actually studied with all his heart. The reason why Ye Yu chose to study Spring and Autumn was not only to relieve boredom, but also because of the allusions in it that he loved very much.

Because during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yun's long night reading has always been something that Ye Yu highly admires in his heart, so these days, in addition to patrolling the coastal defense at will, Ye Yu is boring in the middle of his travels.

Fuzhou is located on the north bank of the Min River, a Min River runs through the states and directly leads to the East China Sea, and there is a coastal defense garrison of the Great Song Dynasty on this riverbank.

Flags fluttered on the surface of the Minjiang River, and vehicles and ships docked on the riverbank, Ye Yu stood at the bow of the ship to see the posture of the naval garrison, and couldn't help but admire: "If such a navy is to conquer the countries on the sea, the world can gallop at will!" ”

The commander who was waiting on the side Zhong Yiguo explained: "What Lord Ye said is extremely true, but it's a pity that the imperial court has no intention of opening up barbarian lands, and our garrison sergeants can only become a kind of ornament, chasing some pirates and thieves on weekdays......"

"Oh? Isn't that overkill, and has become a kind of decoration? Ye Yu didn't think too much about it, just asked casually.

The so-called unintentional listener is intentional, Zhong Yiguo heard Ye Yu say this, and his expression suddenly turned terrified: "That's not true, my Great Song Dynasty business is overseas, and the caravans that pass along the coast will be escorted by the coastal defense fleet!" ”

"Hehe, this official is just talking, even if this coastal defense is safe for a hundred years, it must not be abolished one day, the future world is a struggle for maritime supremacy, and there must be no carelessness!"

"What Lord Ye said is extremely true, what he said is extremely ......" Although Zhong Yiguo didn't understand what Ye Yu said about maritime hegemony, Ye Yu was not dissatisfied with the coastal defense system, and he had already achieved his current goal.

Ye Yu glanced at Zhong Yiguo, and seeing that the other party didn't really understand what he meant, he just shook his head and didn't comment.

At present, although the Southern Song Dynasty is bullied on land, it can be said that it is the world's leading shipbuilding fleet at sea.

Moreover, the current Southern Song Dynasty court regards the Indochina Peninsula, the South China Sea countries, the Great Food States, the West Asian countries, as well as some countries such as Goryeo and Japan as barbarian lands far from indoctrination.

Although there is a lot of commercial dealings, most of them do not take the island territory into account.

This is a sense of superiority of the saint's education, and it can be said that the people of the Central Plains are blessed. However, it was this kind of complacency and arrogance that turned out to be hundreds of years later, but these so-called barbarians knocked on the door of China.

Ye Yu looked at the solid hull of the ship with iron plates nailed to it, the deck was densely covered with crossbows and offensive and defensive objects, and there were countless armor soldiers lined up on it, and each armor was bright and energetic. Although there are a large number of people, the army is silent and silent.

I have to say that the coastal defense of the Minjiang River in Fuzhou really opened Ye Yu's eyes.

Although these maritime armies could not expand their territory on land, they did greatly promote maritime trade. As Fang Zhong Yiguo said, these maritime armies can provide escort services for incoming and outgoing merchants.

In fact, there are many reasons for the maritime prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and the most important and intuitive thing is that the Tubo, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol and other ethnic minorities have risen one after another, cutting off the land connection between the Song Dynasty and overseas.

As a result, the sea route in the southeast became the only channel for foreign trade in the Song Dynasty, and the sea trade became more prosperous.

Secondly, due to the international environment, due to the Crusades and the rise of the Seljuk Turks, active Arab merchants were forced to shift their trade attention to the East, open trade routes to the East, and increasingly enter and exit the coastal ports of our country.

This objectively created a favorable international environment for the overseas trade of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, most of the current tax revenue of the imperial court comes from the city departments of various ports, and the business profits can be described as extremely rich.

Therefore, Zhao Zhuo, the king of Fu, sits in Fuzhou and occupies the initiative in three ports, which can be imagined to be rich Cheng dù.

With money, soldiers, and a disobedient heart, it would be a strange thing to say that King Fu had no intention of rebellion.

After Ye Yu finished inspecting the coastal garrison of Fuzhou, he did not inspect it carefully, because he knew that he could not find anything at all.

"The Fuzhou coastal defense garrison is magnificent and has strict military discipline, and this official is very pleased, and after returning to Beijing, he will definitely submit it to the Privy Council for official evaluation, as the basis for future promotion!"

Zhong Yiguo's expression was as usual, and he solemnly saluted: "Thank you Lord Ye for your support!" ”

"No, it's not the official who supports you, but you deserve to be so dedicated......"

When Ye Yu said this, he seemed to have a deep meaning and joked: "But with such a strong force, if you board a ship to prepare for war and set off from the port, and go north along the East China Sea to Lin'an Jingcheng, it can be said that it is easy to prevent it!" ”

"Your Excellency...... This ......"

Zhong Yiguo was so frightened when he heard this, and when he reacted, Ye Yu was already far away. But this sentence was like a hammer, hitting Zhong Yiguo's heart hard.
