"I want to lead troops to the battle." Zhao Kuo, who had been struggling in his heart for a long time, finally looked at Ye Qing and said nervously.

"Why?" Ye Qing was a little surprised, but the eyes that Zhao Kuo looked at him at this time were full of desire and passion.

"Because you asked me when you were in the palace of King Xin... if you have any ambitions that matched the Han and Tang dynasties." Zhao Kuo seemed a little guilty, but at this time he was still under Ye Qing's gaze, he said with a stern tongue: "I don't know if I have the ability to do it, but... but I really want to try it, at least I have to experience the cruelty of the war myself, rather than staying in this colorful Lin'an City."

"What should you do when you are in charge of the imperial army?" Ye Qing took a deep breath, trying to figure it out. Zhao Kuo's suggestion was not a moment of impulse, but that he really had ambitions.

"I believe in King Yan, just like the trust of my mother in you." Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing, his eyes full of sincerity and said: "I am only responsible for leading troops. As for marching and fighting, I also hope that King Yan, you can help me choose some generals who can conquer and fight well. I don't expect me to be like you on the battlefield, but... I think, maybe only after I realize the cruelty and hardship of war can I be a good king, so I think I may need such an opportunity."

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo's sincerity, but silently lowered his head. Ziqi and Luodian were suppressed by Han Tuozhou, so even if Zhao Kuo personally led his troops to the scene, there would be no major trouble. Naturally, there was no need to worry about Zhao Kuo's safety.

But Zhao Kuo wanted to lead the army in person, obviously it was not enough to be counted after he said it. This had to pass Li Fengniang's level. Moreover, based on his understanding of Li Fengniang, Zhao Kuo's intention to lead the army in person would probably have a difficult birth in Li Fengniang.

"Your mother..." Ye Qing said with his head up.

"I'll convince my mother. Just give me the generals who are the best at fighting. I promise that I will never interfere with their troops at will. I just hope to... be able to truly see what war looks like and how different it is from Lin'an's life." Zhao Kuo's tone was very sincere, even making Ye Qing feel moved.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was a little moved but hesitant, Zhao Kuo obviously knew that the King of Yan was afraid that his mother would feel more, so he thought about it and continued, "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he has been focusing on literature and military affairs, and this is something you have never wanted to see. So if an emperor, an ambitious emperor, if he cannot change all this, why would he talk about changing the Song Dynasty? It would be better to say that it would become as if it were a new bottle of old wine. Since I want to surpass others and compete with the Han and Tang Dynasties, then if I don't know what a battlefield is, how should I establish the majesty among civil officials and military generals in the court?"

"You can choose all the generals in the North, but... I don't know about this yet, and you have never mentioned it to me. I will know everything you just said unless your mother agrees." Ye Qing picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Zhao Kuo and bargained.

Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing's serious expression, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He never expected that the King of Yan, who was in the north and even in the entire Song Dynasty, would be so afraid of his mother.

It was precisely because Ye Qing was afraid of Li Fengniang in front of Zhao Kuo that Zhao Kuo suddenly became very curious about when did the mother Li Fengniang and Yan Wang Ye Qing meet? Did they have childhood sweethearts since childhood and then had to be broken up? Or did Ye Qing have to be powerful and then he only followed his mother...

When Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo entered a brief silence again at the Fengbo Pavilion in Dali Temple, in the Cining Hall of the palace, the current queen Yan was crying and talking about her father Yan Keji's several shops.

The matter of Yan King Ye Qing sealing it off.

Although Li Fengniang has not summoned Zhao Kuo to the Cining Hall these days, it does not mean that Li Fengniang has been indifferent to Zhao Kuo's every move after the past few days.

So it is precisely because Li Fengniang has put almost all her thoughts on Zhao Kuo's reaction in the past few days, which has caused her not to pay attention to Ye Qing's every move in Lin'an City in the past few days.

Listening to the crying and sorrow of Yan in front of him, a rage suddenly rose in Li Fengniang's heart. This anger was obviously not aimed at Yan in front of him, but at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing knew that Yan Keji was the father-in-law of the Song Dynasty, so it would be fine if he was unwilling to turn a blind eye to this matter, but why did he still insist on provoking Yan Keji? Does he still think that the relationship between him and Zhao Kuo is not bad enough?

"You get up first." Li Fengniang suppressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Qing and said lightly to Yan who was kneeling in front of her.

"Have you ever mentioned this to the emperor?" Li Fengniang opened her mouth again after seeing Yan sitting down.

Yan nodded silently, and then said with rain: "I mentioned it to the Master, but the Master means..." Yan looked at Li Fengniang with some uncertainty before continuing to say carefully: "The Master means that the King of Yan does this, probably because of his considerations, so that I don't have to worry about this. I am not caring about the shops for my father, but because my father has always been in poor health, and I am afraid of my father..."

"You mean... Kuo'er thinks this matter should be what King Yan means?" Li Fengniang asked in surprise.

Yan nodded silently and continued, "I'm afraid that because the King of Yan saved the priest in the Xinwang Mansion a few days ago, the priest gave the full power of the Shi Miyuan case to the King of Yan to deal with it. Perhaps... it is precisely because of this that the priest is unwilling to ask about this matter. However... the father believed that the King of Yan had only sealed off the shops of the Yan family and other officials in Lin'an in the past few days, but he was indifferent to Xie Shenfu's shops in Lin'an, believing that the King of Yan had a false public service and suppressed dissidents, and wanted to be in the court..."

"What do you mean is that the reason why King Yan suppressed your father was for the right of the court? And he also gave Xie Shenfu a look?" Li Fengniang said in a questionable tone.

Yan's eyes hurriedly avoided Li Fengniang's majestic phoenix eyes, lowered his head and continued, "I am living in the harem and I don't know anything about the court. These... are all my father's words, maybe..."

"You go back first. Since you have informed me of this, I will give you justice to your father. But... if the fact is not as your father said, then don't blame me for not helping you with the Yan family." A trace of disgust for Yan flashed in Li Fengniang's eyes, and then she signaled Qingqiu to send Yan out.

After watching Yan's back disappear from sight, Li Fengniang sighed helplessly. After all, she still didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would accept Ye Qing's matter faster than she imagined.

I thought Zhao Kuo would never accept this matter so easily, but if what Yan said was true, it would be enough to show that Zhao Kuo's heart was obviously no knot or dissatisfaction with the matter between her and Ye Qing.

"Did Ye Qing really do anything wrong in Lin'an City these days?" Li Fengniang picked up the teacup, then sighed and let it go, and said a little uneasy: "You just said Kuo'er had left the palace, so where did he go? Also, did Ye Qing really cover up Xie Shenfu in the matter of Shi Miyuan because of Xie Shenfu's granddaughter? Let Qingqiu check this matter later. I always feel that Yan's words are a bit hard to tell, and the matter is probably not as simple as she said."

Zhu Yeer glanced at the worried Li Fengniang, and after thinking about it, he said, "For the time being,"

Not to mention Xie Shenfu's case, but there are probably many strange things about Yan Keji."

"What do you mean?" Li Fengniang asked in confusion.

"It is well known that the Grand Secretary Yan Keji and Shi Miyuan are close to each other. The seventeen shops that the Queen said just now, big and small were sealed by the King of Yan, should actually have some relationship with Shi Miyuan, and it was not because Yan Keji worked hard. I believe that the sealing of these shops by King of Yan was also related to Shi Miyuan..." Zhu Yeer said with blinking her eyes.

Li Fengniang glanced at Zhu Yeer with some dissatisfaction, and then said, "There are some things that you don't need to cover up for him and find a repair. Haven't you seen it yet? Just now, Yan also said that Kuo'er had already agreed to what Ye Qing did in Lin'an, which is enough to explain the problem. Originally, I thought he wanted to test Kuo'er's attitude towards him through Yan Keji, but now it seems... Ye Qing may have other plans, which makes me feel a little worried..."

"Are you worried that the emperor was taken to another direction by the King of Yan?" Zhu Ye'er didn't say anything to be taken to pieces, and she seemed a little tactful.

"Yes, you'll know if you look at these." Li Fengniang handed a letter to Zhu Yeer and said.

Zhu Ye'er looked at the unsigned letter and was confused when he heard Li Fengniang explaining: "This is the letter sent to me by the wife of King Zhao Shichun of Wu. In order to appease Ye Qing, did you not hope to betroth the two daughters of Zhao Shichun of the royal family to Ye Qing's eldest and second sons? In Yangzhou, the Ye Mansion and the Zhao Mansion were neighbors, and in this letter, some things were about Ye Qing's two sons when they were in Yangzhou."

Li Fengniang said while Zhu Yeer was standing by the side reading the letter, and then she couldn't help laughing from time to time. Even when she saw something ridiculous, she had to cover her mouth with her hands under Li Fengniang's eyes, fearing that she would lose her etiquette when she laughed in front of Li Fengniang.

"The two young men of the Ye family grew up in Yangzhou, so before leaving Yangzhou and going to Yanjing, they were almost all aware of Yangzhou. In their Ye family's academy, they even regarded the two daughters of Zhao Shichun, the clan of the family, as their little daughters." Li Fengniang said with a headache: "Look at what they said later, just because other children looked at Zhao Ling'er, they were beaten by the Ye family's brothers in front of their husbands, and the two brothers were only six years old at the age of six."

"It would be quite interesting if we didn't look at the rules in the palace. In this way, the four of them are really childhood sweethearts..." Zhu Ye'er loved the house and the Wu, but she thought that the two young men of the Ye family were so domineering and cute when they were young.

Li Fengniang snorted dissatisfiedly and then said, "You love the house and the Wuwu, but this is enough to show that Ye Qing is superior in leading troops to fight or fighting in the court, but he is obviously not so proud of his children. His two sons were educated like two little bullies. If Kuoer and Ye Qing had been in contact for too long, they might suddenly run to the Cining Hall one day and tell me that he was going to lead troops to fight in person..."

"You have been worried that the priest succeeded to the throne at a young age. In the past few years, you can also see the priest's efforts and growth? Especially... after the incident of the Prince's Mansion, don't you think that the priest is actually more stable than before? So, according to my servants, the priest will never become..." Zhu Yeer said to Li Fengniang with mercy.
