For Zhao Kuo, the slander and loyal ministers obviously cannot clearly define it in an intuitive way above the court. Because Ye Qing's power in the north has even endangered the stability of the Zhao Song Dynasty, he can naturally regard it as a major concern that must be eliminated.

During this period, especially since Zhao Kuo transferred part of his mind from the court affairs to his personal lifelong affairs, Ye Qing's definition of a powerful minister and a loyal minister began to gradually blur in Zhao Kuo's mind.

What is a loyal minister? What is a slander? The people of the world have a standard in their hearts. Similarly, Zhao Kuo, as an emperor, also has his own standard in his heart.

Any minister who can participate in the family and private affairs of the emperor can tell him the king, but cannot speak to the ministers in the court, and tell a minister the so-called indescribable hidden secrets and the thoughts that are inconsistent with the emperor's identity. Then, although this minister may not be all loyal ministers in the king's heart, at least he will not hate this minister very much.

Ye Qing now takes advantage of Zhao Kuo's concern for his lifelong affairs and gradually changes Zhao Kuo's view of him.

In Zhao Kuo's heart, because of his lifelong affairs, he was no longer so vigilant about Ye Qing, who was far away in the north. Even at this time, because of Ye Qing's clever and comprehensive arrangements, Zhao Kuo felt quite comfortable.

Without telling the empress dowager Li Fengniang left the palace privately. A luxurious but not very conspicuous carriage had already parked not far from He Ning's gate waiting for Zhao Kuo. What Zhao Kuo unexpectedly surprised was that the person who helped him see his future concubine's appearance in advance turned out to be a young girl.

Xie Daoqing didn't know Zhao Kuo's identity. She only knew that the person Uncle Ye asked her to pick her up from the palace was very noble, but how noble was. Xie Daoqing never dreamed that he would be the current emperor.

One was deliberately concealed his identity because of Ye Qing's reminder. The other was because he did not inform him. Although he was curious about the other party's identity, because Ye Qing had the words first, Xie Daoqing could only hide his curiosity deeply in his heart.

Two carriages drove low-key to Donghua Gate from He Ning Gate. When passing Donghua Gate, Weijing, who was riding in the same carriage with Zhao Kuo, heard noisy sounds of horse hooves in his ears. When he quickly lifted the curtain, he saw dozens of soldiers wearing armor appearing out of thin air. The dark armor flashed with a shocking light in the sun. They all looked solemn and cold, and they silently guarded the carriage and walked out of the city.

"These people should not be soldiers in the palace, are they?" Wei Jing lifted the curtain to investigate the situation outside. Zhao Kuo's eyes also saw the soldiers guarding the carriage.

Compared to the soldiers in the palace, although they were dressed almost the same, Zhao Kuo could still feel that the moment Wei Jing lifted the curtain, the cavalry came to his face, which was far stronger than the soldiers in the Palace Guards and the Palace Front Office.

"Obviously not. Although they are in the same armor, these cavalry seem to make me feel more at ease." Wei Jing hurriedly put down the curtain of the car and turned around and said to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at the decorations in the spacious carriage with a satisfied expression on his face, and said with some emotion: "No wonder Ye Qing was able to win consecutive battles in the north, and the shocking Jin people did not dare to go south. These soldiers knew it was extraordinary just by looking at the momentum."

"I am just worried... will this be too ostentatious? After all, you are... you are hiding it from the Empress Dowager..." When Wei Jing never left the palace, his heart was filled with nervousness and fear.

"There is no place at He Ning's Gate, and these soldiers followed him when he arrived at Donghua Gate. This shows that Ye Qing had long thought of it. Besides... Ye Qing had to be so cautious. If something went wrong after I left the palace privately, I am afraid that Ye Qing would be blamed." Zhao Kuo was very satisfied with Ye Qing's understanding arrangement, especially when he arranged a girl to take him out of the city to see his future wife. For Zhao Kuo, it was obviously more comfortable than arranging a man to make him feel more comfortable.

"Can you know who is the woman leading the way in the carriage in front?" Zhao Kuo asked Wei Jing.

"I don't know. All this was arranged by Ye Qing, and I have no way to know." Wei Jing looked confused. The matter of leaving the palace privately was not so much Zhao Kuo's idea, but rather Ye Qing made careful arrangements for the emperor.

Zhao Kuo guessed wrongly in the carriage, and Xie Daoqing was also guessing Zhao Kuo's identity in the carriage in front.

She was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she was wearing a simple scholar with narrow sleeves like a robe, Xie Daoqing could still feel that when she met at He Ning's door, the boy always gave her an invisible majesty of being high and above.

"Who will it be?" Xie Daoqing murmured to himself in the carriage.

But no matter what, she was still very happy that Ye Qing came to her, especially when she learned about Ye Qing asking her, Xie Daoqing's youthful and girlish thoughts secretly fantasized about many possible things alone, as well as her sweet longing for the future.

For Xie Daoqing, since Ye Qing found her help, it was enough to show that in Ye Qing's heart, she occupies a very important position. Otherwise, how could she find her to help?

Of course, this also shows that Ye Qing trusts her very much, and that she is very important to Ye Qing.

At this time, in Chang'an City, Ye Qing's study room, Ye Qing and his two beautiful ladies stood in front of the Lin'an map: "Go out of Qiantang Gate, then walk on the Gushan Road, and take a boat to Huxin Pavilion together. Wouldn't it be much natural? Moreover, I have already sent people to Huxin Pavilion first. Except for the few people invited by Xie Daoqing, the rest of the people cannot wait to Huxin Pavilion. So there is no need to worry, others will see Zhao Kuo going to West Lake."

"Will Yan Keji's daughter and Yang Huili's daughter go?" Bai Chun said incredible: "Because Yang Huili's daughter was not listed as the first candidate, maybe Yang Huili's management will be a little loose. Since there may be no hope of entering the palace, it is not a bad idea to go out of the palace to play. But will Yan Keji be the same? Aren't he afraid that if Li Fengniang knows that his daughter will be alone before entering the palace..."

"After all, they are ladies from the officials and their families, with golden branches and jade leaves. Even if their family members don't stop them from going out of the house to play, they may have maids and servants around them, right?" Yelu Yue and Bai Chun asked at each other.

"These are not problems. The Huxin Pavilion will be taken down and outsiders cannot enter. Besides, except for the personal maid, no one else can enter the pavilion, so Zhao Kuo will not be discovered. She has been living in the palace for many years. Before she succeeded to the throne, Li Fengniang deliberately reduced Zhao Kuo's appearance, so the possibility of being recognized is very small. My only worry is..." Ye Qing stroked his chin and looked at the Lin'an map and said, "That is, can Zhao Kuo hide it from Li Fengniang? No one knows his son is better than his mother. I am afraid that Zhao Kuo will show abnormal behavior in the past few days because of going out of the palace privately. If Li Fengniang discovers it, then I am afraid that the current emperor will be less scolded."

Bai Chun and Yelu Yue looked at each other helplessly. Lord Ye was so skillful in doing this kind of understanding and relieving your worries. He could be said to be comprehensive, even in the details, he considered it for the current emperor.

This made the two women think in their hearts that if Ye Qing's ambition was not in the army but in the court, then based on the detailed arrangements he made for Zhao Kuo this time, as long as he was willing to gain a foothold in the court, he might become a favorite minister and celebrity in front of the emperor in a short time.

Words that are often spoken by officials, such as honesty, integrity, selflessness, fairness, etc., will hardly appear on Ye Qing's mouth. Such ministers may be deeply loved by the people, but they will definitely win the holy heart.

Even if a subject like Ye Qing is more stupid than a pig, he is given a chance to send him a job, and he will be able to immediately enter the sight of the Lord and become a minister trusted by the Lord step by step.

I have to say that Ye Qing is just like he will please his superiors in future generations. He may not be able to achieve perfection in his work, but when he is having a personal relationship with his superiors, he is definitely a good player when helping his superiors do some personal things, etc.

Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong were highly valued because of Ye Qing's ability and understanding. However, it was precisely because of Ye Qing's comprehensiveness that Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong had to plan to let him be buried with him in the end.

Ye Qing ignored the contempt of the two women for currying against him for the current emperor. In Ye Qing's opinion, a great man was close to Zhao Kuo's chance to increase his favorability. Therefore, he mobilized all the power that could be used in Lin'an City, so that Zhao Kuo could see Yan Keji and Yang Huili's two daughters, and could have a glimpse of the beauty and see clearly what his future concubine would look like.

Bai Chun made excuses and walked out of the study room. Yelu Yue and Ye Qing, who had just returned yesterday, looked at each other and looked at each other. The atmosphere in the study room was slightly quiet. No one knew how to speak when they looked at each other.

Since Yelu Yue came back yesterday, Ye Qing did not scold Yelu Yue because she and Bai Chun had made a decision privately. This made Yelu Yue feel a little happy, and she was also quite nervous.

"Li Heng has already sent me a letter to tell me about Xiping Prefecture. Have you... really decided?" Ye Qing tapped the table with his index finger. Li Heng has now begun to mix up the Liao people. Although there are many troubles in it, as long as Yelu Yue really makes up his mind, then Ye Qing believes that with the generous treatment of the Anxi Protectorate, a large number of people will be able to agree to enter the Anxi army.

Because Ye Qing asked seriously, Yelu Yue was still a little sad. After all, he wanted to give up his country. From now on, the dust of history would slowly cover up everything. It would obviously not be a good thing for anyone to lose the country, let alone Yelu Yue, the last princess of the Great Liao Kingdom.

She knew very well what Ye Qing was asking,

Ye Qing nodded silently, his eyes bright and firm.

"But Battish Hei will be an obstacle, so I brought him back to Chang'an because I don't know what to do with him." Yelu Yue's heart was a little confused. Since she defected to Ye Qing, she found that she had become more and more dependent on Ye Qing to make decisions on some major things that were difficult to choose.

It is precisely because of this state she noticed, mixed with other factors that Yelu Yue finally chose to give up restoring the country.

"When you came back yesterday, you were caught by Jin Chen Yelu Chucai outside Chang'an City. Today, Yelu Chucai had already tied the thread with Ba Thihei. Now the two are secretly drinking tea in a tea shop." Ye Qing stopped and tapped the index finger on the table, looking at Yelu Yue who was frowning slightly on the opposite side.

"I...I want to know..." Yelu Yue did not look at Ye Qing's eyes, looked down at the table with her head down and hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage again and said, "I want to know... what is your ambition?"

Ye Qing looked at Yelu Yue's slowly raised cheeks quietly, his eyes were still bright and clear, but at this moment he was filled with unprecedented seriousness.

"Do you want to know how great my ambition is?" Ye Qing asked back.

"You were in danger in Guanshan and then broke through the siege and returned to Lin'an. At that time, I thought you would definitely choose to break with the court and then be the dominant kingdom in the north, and even... I was even ready to help you. But in the end, you chose to compromise with the Lin'an court. This time you returned to Lin'an, the dead Emperor Xiaozong still wanted to kill you, but you escaped again. But... such good luck will not always favor you. After escaping this time, no one knows whether you will be able to escape next time. The Song court has always been suspicious of you, and does not want to weaken your rights in the north at all times, and will you continue to be loyal to the Song court? I know that everything is embarrassing you, but... I still want to know whether you can make your ambition big enough after I give up restoring the country." Yelu Yue's expression was calm, her tone was plain, but her eyes were extremely serious.

It is obviously a difficult thing to make a princess give up restoring the country. Moreover, there are still some people who are willing to join her. Whether it is true or false, they are willing to be loyal to help restore the country. This is also an undeniable temptation for Yelu Yue.

The big reason why Yelu Yue gave up the temptation was entirely related to Ye Qing. Ye Qing became a hero in a short period of time. In Yelu Yue's eyes, such a road of rise would make her hope that Ye Qing could fly higher, or even point directly to Jiuwu.

The Song court had no ambitions and the Jin people were weak. The only one who could compete with Ye Qing and compete with Ye Qing was the Mongols who destroyed the Great Liao Kingdom.

So in Yelu Yue's view, Ye Qing is now fully capable of taking a step forward, and even changing dynasties in the future.

As long as she gives up restoring the country, get rid of the ties between herself and the Liao Kingdom for Ye Qing, and let Ye Qing see that all the territory in the world can be Song Xinjiang, then for Ye Lu Yue, it is completely worthy of her giving up restoring the country.

Of course, she also learned some secrets about Ye Qing and the Song Ting royal family from Bai Chun, and it was this secret that made everything she had imagined a bit complicated.

"My ambition... has always wanted to restore the prosperous era of China like the Han and Tang Dynasties, or even further. The so-called: In the world, is it the king's land, the shores of the land, or is it the king's minister. As for... I have never thought about it." Ye Qing's eyes were also very frank. Of course he knew what advantages he would have in the future conflict with Temuzhen if he received Yelu Yue's support.

Yelu Yue sighed slightly, her expression still calm, and she could not see disappointment or happiness: "If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, your enemy will be Temujin."

"One day, I naturally hope that you can still freely go back and forth on the land you are familiar with, but at that time it was the territory of the Song court and the kingdom of the Liao Kingdom, and I can't guarantee you. But... I know that you are unwilling to accept it, and also hate the Mongols to the core...but now is not the best time. As you said, unless the Jin Dynasty dies, I have the ability to protect you, and I will not stop you from seeking revenge on the Mongols, but attacking Jin is the most urgent thing now."

Yelu Yue nodded silently: "When Xueer gets older, you can also send her to Yangzhou. There are her brothers and sisters there, which is more lively than her alone."

Ye Qing nodded, stood up and walked to Yelu Yue, gently stroked the white cheeks, looked out the window, and said with a low voice: "I am satisfied if you don't hate me. I hope that one day in the future, you can let you gallop on the grassland again."
