Three days after the curfew night, the gate of Ye Mansion was closed for three days. During these three days, Xie Daoqing had never seen the gate of Ye Mansion open once. It was like an invisible seal was pasted on it, and it was like a deep mansion that was already uninhabited. In the hot summer, it seemed incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire Lin'an City.

Some are majestic and a little arrogant, even some are lonely or a kind of indescribable depth.

As Xie Shenfu was put into prison, Xie Daoqing's confidence in the Ye family disappeared. For some reason, now standing in front of the Ye family, she always feels a deep sense of inferiority. She no longer feels like when she first met Ye Qing, and she feels more and more because of her grandfather's confidence as an official in the court.

In the scorching sun, the cicadas chirped tirelessly, like Xie Daoqing who had been waiting for nothing for three days, and had been waiting for the moment when the gate of Ye's mansion opened.

The side door was slowly opened, as if it opened a world of hope to Xie Daoqing's heart. His eyes, which had been sad for several days, finally brightened at this moment. Then he watched many soldiers wearing armor slowly walk out of the Ye Mansion in an orderly manner, and then disappeared silently in Zhonghe Lane.

Tao Qian saw Xie Daoqing beside him, shook his head and sighed, and looked at Xie Daoqing who was looking at him with hope not far away, trying to say something, but in the end he turned around and returned to the mansion.

Xie Daoqing hurriedly followed a few steps forward, but the Ye Mansion's door still closed slowly before her ruthlessly.

"Zhaoqing Army, Sui'an Army has returned from the same route, Qian Xiangzu is still doing the comfort and dispatch of various armies in the southwest. Shoukang Palace has been taken over by Zuo Jiao's Palace Front Office, and Jia She also brought people back to the camp of the Imperial City Office outside the city last night. As for the court in the past few days, because the emperor and the queen's return to the palace, no one has mentioned what happened that night again. As for the emperor, Jia She has not found any abnormalities in the past few days. It should be said that the emperor has completely recovered from the fright, but he has not said anything about the incident that night. The emperor... has not cared about the shock of the emperor, and he is not even willing to let the queen visit. However, the queen has gone twice and said nothing." Zhong Can sat opposite Ye Qing in the pavilion, looking at Ye Qing with a little gray and dazzling hair.

"What's wrong with the North? Is there any movement?" Ye Qing glanced at the imperial edict in front of him, sighed slightly and asked in a different way.

"The Liao people surrendered faster than they thought. Now Temujin has returned to the Qiyan tribe. It seems that there is no plan to continue the western expedition for the time being. There have been several small-scale frictions in the past month between them and the Anbei Protectorate, at the Wuding River in the three Hetao Road. However, Yu Yunwen believes that the Mongolians who crossed the Yellow River again were not instructed by Temujin, but were more like the self-decision of those Mongolian tribes who could not bear the loneliness. However, Yu Yunwen also believes that there must be Temujin's temptation to us, and he wants to take this opportunity to test the combat power of the Anbei Protectorate." Zhong Can said, flipping through the many documents on the table.

Ye Qing's attention was on his precious son Zhong Ye, so the letters from the north were read by Zhong Can and then reported to Ye Qing.

"How is the winner?" Ye Qing teased Zhong Yewen.

"Almost all-win, Muma Town has begun to take the scale of the Longcheng camp, and most of its troops are stationed here. Some of them are naturally still in Yanzhou, where you confronted the Jin people last year, and they also built a barracks to prevent the reserve Jin people from raiding. Now..." Zhong Can read another document and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qing was not very worried about the matter in the North. In his opinion, the situation was still dominated by Lin'an. Whether it was the Mongols or Jin people, his eyes should be in Lin'an at this moment.

After returning to Lin'an, as long as Lin'an is not in chaos, no matter whether it is the Jin or the Mongolians, they will have some concerns about the North. However, if Lin'an is in a mess because of himself, or if there is a problem here, the North will inevitably be affected as soon as possible.

The Supreme Emperor wanted to kill himself and then control the northern part of the court, but obviously this was his wishful thinking. Once Ye Qing died in Lin'an, then, before he could even give orders to King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun, the Jin people and the Mongols would inevitably launch an unpredictable battle to the northern part in the shortest time.

At that time, the northern region will inevitably be in chaos, because without Ye Qing, the real backbone, the answer will probably not be optimistic whether it can withstand the impact of the Jin people and the Mongols.

The three major protectors will inevitably retreat under the pressure of the Mongols and the Jin people. At that time, the side effects of the Supreme Emperor's killing of Ye Qing will be fully revealed. The northern land will once again fall into the hands of the Jin people and the Mongols, and even the original Song Dynasty such as Huainan Road will be affected.

Ye Qing's death will cause the entire North to fall into war at the first time, thus displaced thousands of people and injured countless people. Obviously, Ye Qing could not afford such a sin. The entire Song court may want to bear it, but it also needs to pay an extremely painful price.

Cut land and pay compensation, bowing down and paying tribute every year is obviously essential, and it is only a result that can be seen. If things are imagined more seriously, it is not impossible to have the Jingkang shame that year again.

Therefore, Ye Qing cannot die. Even if the Supreme Emperor wants him to die, he dare not die. Death... For him alone, he just closed his eyes and stopped opening his eyes. However, for the Song court, the people, royal families, nobles, etc., it may be a disaster.

Yu Yunwen was very clear about Ye Qing's importance to the northern part, and Xin Qiji, Liu Keshi and others also knew very well about Ye Qing's importance to the Song court. Therefore, no matter how ruthless Ye Qing was in Lin'an, the three major protectors in the north would not be dissatisfied with Ye Qing because of this. They even fully supported Ye Qing's actions because they could clearly see that Ye Qing's death... was too expensive, so great that even the Song court could not afford it.

Ye Qing is

When leaving Lin'an, he obviously made the worst plans and theoretically enhanced and consolidated the defense of the North.

The three major protectors established to defend the entire northern region, thus clearly marking the dispatch of various armies in the northern region. In this way, even if Ye Qing is not in the northern region, the northern region can resist the possible southwards of the Mongols and Jin people due to clear strategic deployment, instead of letting the various armies do their own way. In the end, they cannot respond to the beginning and end and are defeated by the Jin and Mongolians.

"In addition to the three major protectors, now... there is another protector. This matter... Lord Yu Yunwen and Liu Keshi and Xin Qiji have discussed it, but... they have no choice, and their wife does not support them..." Zhong Can's expression became even more strange, even with a hint of helplessness.

"Bai Chun? What does it have to do with her? When is it her turn to interfere in the affairs of the three major Protectorates? Yu Yunwen, Liu Keshi, is Xin Qiji a waste? Can't even do this?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows. He obviously did not expect that after he left the North, it was not King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun who took the opportunity to cause trouble, but instead turned into his backyard and dragged his back.

Zhong Can held the Beidi document in his hand, with a look of embarrassment and helplessness, spread the document in his hand, then placed it on the table, picked up Zhong Ye in Ye Qing's arms, and said, "You'd better read it yourself. I don't dare to speak in this matter."

Zhong Ye is obviously not unfamiliar with Zhong Jian, and even more close than seeing Ye Qing. His chubby little finger pointed to the depths of the back garden, and hummed and asked Zhong Jian to take him over to play.

At this time, Ye Qing, after picking up the document from Northland, couldn't help but take a breath. He thought... but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome!

Zhong Can looked at Ye Qing's eyes that had suddenly become wide open, then looked at Zhong Qing and Fangfei who were walking towards this side, hurriedly picked up Zhong Ye who was clamoring to play, and quickly ran into the depths of the back garden, as fast as a escaping.

After looking at the last date of the document in Beidi, after Zhong Qing came over, Ye Qing opened her head and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhong Qing glanced lightly, then sat down next to Ye Qing, ignoring Ye Qing's question and said, "For three days, the little girl has been wandering outside the mansion and refused to leave. What are you going to do? Is she missing her? "

"Yelu Yue was unauthorized to build the so-called Great Liao Protectorate in the north. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing helplessly, and asked without answering.

"I mentioned it to you a few days ago, and these days... Since you came back from the palace, you have locked yourself in the study for a day and a night. Yesterday, you had a gloomy face and ignored anyone. I want to tell you, but have you ever paid attention to me?" Zhong Qing sighed helplessly.

However, from her perspective, she fully understood Yelu Yue's actions in the Northland, and even agreed with the actions of a heroine like Yelu Yue.

Seeing that he had no intention of self-blame, but instead blamed himself, Ye Qing could only sigh helplessly. In fact, he knew that the current dilemma was not that he was too indulging in Bai Chun, Yelu Yue, and even Zhong Qing and others, but because his foundation in the North was still too weak.

It made him today, because of the constraints of the court and Shi Miyuan in the Ministry of Personnel, it was difficult for him to select and reuse some officials in the north through legitimate methods, which made the political affairs of the north sometimes mixed together like family affairs.

This is obviously a dangerous signal, because if this continues, then... this is the prototype of a group force that can subvert a regime. Although the North is already vaguely moving in that direction, Ye Qing's heart, at least until now, he really has no courage to overthrow the vigorous ambitions of a dynasty.

Yelu Yue stayed in the north and was unwilling to follow him back to Lin'an. He vaguely guessed the purpose of Yelu Yue's intention to stay in the north, but at that time he didn't think Yelu Yue could make any big waves, but now... once Bai Chun's support and the approval of Zhong Damei in front of him, Yelu Yue's waist would only be harder and would only continue to do anything according to her own ideas.

The three routes of Hetao were in Anbei Protectorate in Muma Town, and there were several conflicts with the Mongol tribes. Most of them were Yelu Yue leading his army to fight against the Mongols. Yu Yunwen and Liu Minxing obstructed each other several times and returned in vain. On the contrary, because of the several victories with the Mongols, the name Yelu Tieyi has become increasingly prestige and influence in Anbei Protectorate.

"Leave her and ask her to return to Chang'an immediately. If she doesn't listen..." Ye Qing said with a gloomy face.

"What can you do to others?" Zhong Qing asked with a hint of provocation.

"Even if I can't do anything to her for the time being, but... but this is really wrong. Is there any more..." Ye Qing was helpless. In his heart, he felt ashamed of Yelu Yue because of the demise of the Liao Kingdom. So now Yelu Yue fights with the Mongols in Muma Town and avenges himself. He really has no choice but to do anything for a moment: "I'm afraid of hurting her, and war is not a joke. If you hurt it, it will be bad, a woman..."

Seeing Ye Qing's helpless look, Ye Qing finally didn't have the gloomy face like the previous two days. After feeling down, Zhong Qing finally laughed out loud, then took out a document that was still in the north and handed it to Ye Qing: "Yelu Yue is indeed in Chang'an now, but... the one named Yelu Yixue is in Muma Town to command Yelu Yue's troops. So, until now, people only know General Yelu Iron-Free, but in the north, except for a limited number of people, no one knows whether the so-called General Yelu Iron-Free is a man or a woman."

Ye Qingze was even more confused. Looking at Zhong Qing's beautiful smiling face, without waiting for him to ask, Zhong Qing continued: "Shortly after you left Chang'an, Yelu Yue realized... she was pregnant, so now she was brought back to Chang'an by Bai Chun from Muma Town..."

"Pregnant?" Ye Qing's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhong Qing in surprise and joy: "Is Yelu Yue pregnant?"

"Bai Chun is worried about Yelu Yue's body

I am afraid that because you are not in Chang'an and you will be scolded by you, you will not take good care of your Ye family's descendants, so I have to use Yelu Yue's temperament. After fighting several battles with the Mongols, the hatred in his heart was also vented a lot, and then he brought her back to Chang'an." Zhong Qing explained to Ye Qing with a smile.

Ye Qing looked down at the document that Zhong Qing had just handed him. Ye Qing could understand the hatred between Yelu Yue and the Mongols, so when he left Lin'an, he wanted to bring Yelu Yue with him because he was afraid that he would not be able to think about it and go to seek revenge on the Mongols.

But later he thought about it. Since Yelu Yue was willing to look for him in the wind and snow when the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, he thought about the reason why Yelu Yue was to restore the country and some other reasons. But no matter what, he believed that Yelu Yue, after coming to Chang'an, would never die easily.

Now that he is pregnant again, the big stone that Ye Qing had always been worried about Yelu Yue was finally completely put down.

This is true for women. No matter how much hatred and despair there is in their hearts, once they are pregnant, they will become more concerned without realizing it, and will no longer talk about life and death.

"It's so good." Ye Qing nodded relievedly. Although he still felt guilty towards Yelu Yue in his heart, it was beyond his imagination to be able to reach this point. No matter what, Yelu Yue would be fine as long as it is fine.

After all, he could not imagine that if Yelu Yue died under the Mongols' iron cavalry, would his guilt towards Yelu Yue be a little more serious? Will it become a sin that he will never be able to get rid of in his life?

"What are you going to do if the one outside the mansion? It really makes people wander around the mansion?" Zhong Qing felt relieved in her heart. Seeing Ye Qing regaining her familiar appearance again, instead of looking lonely and deep since she came back from the palace, she immediately became relaxed.

"Xie Shenfu is still in the prison of Dali Temple, and Xie Qubo is the same. In the past few days, no one mentioned this in the court. Except for the aftermath of that night, the rest is probably... waiting for the attitude of the Supreme Emperor, and the attitude of the Supreme Emperor determines... After Han Tuozhou's death, the division of forces in the court has been determined. Three days ago, although Liu Zheng is the right prime minister, he has already been sent to the left prime minister. Although Shi Miyuan is still the Minister of Personnel, it is probably a matter of time to climb to the right prime minister. But now, the left prime minister has not mentioned the choice of the left prime minister. I believe that everyone has their own worries, they are considering the pros and cons, or waiting for the opportunity for the Supreme Emperor to speak..."

"Master and the Queen..." Zhong Qing couldn't help but frown.

"The emperor ignores the government affairs. Now I am afraid he is still happy about the current experience of the Supreme Emperor. He is simply heartless! As for the queen... she doesn't have the courage to sort out the court clearly, and the mess that night was enough to make her feel anxious. In addition, I haven't left the door these days, so people's guesses are even more jealous and complicated."

"Then...what are you going to do? Are you going to stay in the court now or..." Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing's solemn frowning, and Fang Xin was unconsciously worried again.

"The Supreme Emperor hates me for not dying, how could I give me a chance to gain a foothold in the court? The reason why I stayed in my door is both a posture and a waiting, but... I don't know if this kind of waiting will be trapped... But I have to wait like this. Han Tuozhou's crime is uncertain for a day, so it will be difficult for me to calm down. Xie Shenfu, Xie Qubo, Chen Fuliang, the introduction of this chaos in Lin'an is still in Dali Temple. It is probably difficult to return to the original appearance." Ye Qing used his hands with force

Rubbing his cheeks that were a little numb, then sighed and said, "What worries me the most is that the Emperor Ye told me that he was old and no longer cared about how long he could live. It would be meaningless one day or one day later. What's more... the unclearity between Li Fengniang and I had already known that the royal face had been trampled on by me, Ye Qing, for many years. The Emperor would not tolerate me to continue trampling on the royal face. Naturally, he would not tolerate me to gain a foothold in the court."

Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing blankly. What shocked her the most was naturally that the Supreme Emperor had already known the relationship between Ye Qing and Li Fengniang, but over the years, the Supreme Emperor had never shown even a little sign of knowing this matter.

"But fortunately, the emperor has always been dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor because of his abdication back then. Even this time, the emperor is unwilling to go to Shoukang Palace to visit the Supreme Emperor. Even if the ministers advised him many times, it would be useless. Li Fengniang would never let the matter between me and her be revealed to the world. In addition, the Hua family army has been stationed in Shoukang Palace these days, so although the emperor and me, the queen may have the possibility of the death of the queen, but the chance is not very high."

"Then...If the Supreme Emperor really chooses to fight you to the death..." Zhong Qing's face turned pale because of nervousness.

"It's just that I can't leave the door, so no one can do anything to me. There are eight thousand Hua family troops outside the city, which is enough to protect me from worry. Shi Miyuan is greedy for money and has almost no connection with all the troops. Zhaoqing's army and Sui'an army have retreated, not afraid of someone offend me by force. But I'm afraid that someone will use this matter to stir up the storm in the mouths of the people in the world, thus ruining my reputation."

"You mean Shi Miyuan?" Zhong Qing asked carefully.

"Now, except for him, no one in the court is taken seriously by me. And Shi Miyuan will never miss this opportunity to suppress me and then stabilize his power in the court. Therefore, it is no longer a problem to have no worries about life at the moment, and it is not a problem to control everything in the north, but the court cannot be in chaos. Once the chaos is serious, the north and I will be affected." Ye Qing said with a frown.

At this moment, Zhong Can suddenly hugged the mud covered in mud, like a little Zhong Ye fished out of the mud pit, and ran to Ye Qing and Zhong Qing in shock: "The Supreme Emperor has passed away..."
Chapter completed!
