The news of Wanyan Jing's death was a sad thing for Ye Qing and others, but for Li Fengniang, it was no less than good news, and even a news that made her feel excited.

Although he was not very clear about the relationship between Ye Qing and Wanyan Jing, Li Fengniang knew that with the grudges between Ye Qing and the Jin emperor over the years, now that Wanyan Jing is dead and the Jin empress fled to Yanjing, Ye Qing would definitely choose to attack Jin under the banner of avenging Wanyan Jing. In this way, Zhao Kuo wanted to personally conquer Ziqi and Luodian, and obviously conflicted with Ye Qing's northern expedition. Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and others, as the right-hand arm in front of Ye Qing, naturally could not follow Zhao Kuo's personal expedition south.

Li Fengniang was not interested in Zheng Ziqi, Luodian and even Dali. The only thing she was interested in was that Zhao Kuo could sit steadily on the throne, rather than conducting an imperial storm in person, to transform the Song Dynasty and usher in a prosperous and powerful scene.

So even though she has now agreed that Zhao Kuo was about to personally expedition after the Yuan Dynasty, when the news of Wanyan Jing's death reached her ears, Li Fengniang was immediately excited. In her opinion, it was impossible for Zhao Kuo to go south to personally expedition. After all, Ye Qing had to take advantage of the current turmoil in the Jin Kingdom to completely destroy the Jin Kingdom under the banner of avenging Wanyan Jing.

Li Fengniang's excitement was naturally Zhao Kuo's concern. After learning about Wanyan Jing's death at the first time, he began to worry in his heart whether his plan to go south for many days would change.

Ye Qing's depressed mood after learning about Wanyan Jing's death increased Zhao Kuo's worries, so he had to summon Jia She to ask clearly after returning to the palace to judge how likely Ye Qing was to go north to conquer gold, especially whether it would affect his long-planned expedition to the south.

These contacts with Ye Qing also made Zhao Kuo deeply realize that many times the influence of his mother on Ye Qing was greater than that of him, so even though he knew that his mother had not fully agreed to his personal expedition, Zhao Kuo still hoped to use Li Fengniang's influence on Ye Qing to ensure that his personal expedition would be smoothly completed after the New Year.

In the Cining Hall, Zhao Kuo pleased Li Fengniang very much. Even when Zhu Yeer brought tea, Zhao Kuo immediately stood up and took it from Zhu Yeer, and placed it attentively at Li Fengniang's hand. He also had a flattering smile on his face, and he smiled and invited Li Fengniang to have tea.

How could Li Fengniang not know the purpose of Zhao Kuo coming to Cining Hall today? But she didn't point it out at the moment, followed Zhao Kuo's diligence and picked up the teacup, and didn't ask why Zhao Kuo came over today.

Seeing that his mother was as if nothing had happened, and even ignored his Zhao Kuo's expression, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but wink at Zhang Dehui next to him. Zhang Dehui and Zhao Kuo were not long. For a moment, they watched Zhao Kuo blink hard at him, but they were stunned and didn't know what Zhao Kuo meant.

Seeing Zhang Dehui racking his brains foolishly and unable to help him, Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang, who was authentic tea, and cleared his throat. He blinked at Zhang Dehui and asked, "By the way, what did you tell me that the two armies on Guangnan West Road are going to report like me?"

"Return to the Master..." Zhang Dehui asked questions all the time, and he was a little confused. So what Zhao Kuo meant, and not to mention that the two armies on Guangnan West Road did not submit any memorials: "Master, I don't..."

"Nothing? Have you forgotten? Before I came to visit my mother, didn't you say there was an urgent memorial from Guangnan West Road? Didn't I tell you that I want to see my mother, and no matter what I have, wait for me to pay my respects to my mother before mentioning it?" Zhao Kuo said as he blinked.

Li Fengniang was still unmoved, with a faint smile on her lips, and she did not stop Zhao Kuo and Zhang Dehui from performing without any tacit understanding. She wanted to see what else Zhao Kuo could jump in front of her next.

Zhu Yeer also turned a blind eye to Zhao Kuo's occasional glance at the help-seeking look. She also wanted to see how Zhao Kuo would talk to the Empress Dowager about his purpose of coming here today.

"Report to the emperor, I have not received a memorial from Guangnan West Road..." Zhang Dehui was even more confused when he heard Zhao Kuo's reminder, but he still answered honestly at this time.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Kuo immediately glared at him fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Why aren't there? If you think about it carefully, is it because I heard it wrong?"

Zhang Dehui looked at Zhao Kuo's face and felt instantly panic. When his knees were weak, he was about to kneel down to apologize.

After all, since he followed Zhao Kuo, the most obvious change in Zhao Kuo was that he was no longer as easy-going as Wei Jing was when he was still following him. Instead, he had already faintly exuded the power that a king should have without realizing it.

In addition, Zhao Kuo's appearance has changed over the past period of time. He was originally just a slightly fat and easy-going boy. Now that he has been in the school field for too many times, and has the ambition to lead the army in person, Zhao Kuo has no longer felt like he has been from the past period of time.

As fat as before, the whole person looks stronger and more energetic, and the momentum that a king should have gradually emerged in every move he usually makes.

Li Fengniang, who was originally watching the show, couldn't help but sigh slightly when she saw Zhao Kuo's appearance, and then said, "What do you want to say, don't bend around the bush in this palace."

Zhao Kuo was stunned. He first signaled Zhang Dehui to get up, and then immediately changed into another flattering face with a slightly hipster smile, and said to Li Fengniang: "My mother, son-member... I didn't want to say anything, but suddenly I remembered the memorials of the two armies on Guangnan West Road. It is said that they have prepared to fight with Ziqi and Luodian next time. You also know that I have been planning this matter for many days, so... maybe... it is because I have been too focused on this matter these days, so I unconsciously mentioned it when I visited my mother. Hehe, Mother, don't worry, my son-member will wait until the New Year to go on the battle..."

"Since you have already thought about it, then go and do it. The mother-in-law is not suitable for intervention in military and national affairs." Li Fengniang didn't look at Zhao Kuo, who was a little flattering next to her, and continued lightly: "Otherwise, if something goes wrong, wouldn't I blame me..."

"How dare I blame my mother? Today, my son-in-law came to visit my mother. Actually... there is no other intention..." Zhao Kuo was still a little worried about how to speak to Li Fengniang.

"Since that's the case, I'm a little tired, you might as well go back to deal with political affairs. I should take a nap..." Li Fengniang said lightly.

Seeing Li Fengniang driving the people, Zhao Kuo could no longer delay it. Even though he had not yet thought about how to speak, at this time, he had to bite the bullet and tell the truth to Li Fengniang: "Mother, son minister... the son minister came here this time, actually... he was asking for the mother and son minister to help him."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Fengniang asked knowingly in surprise.

At this time, Qingqiu quickly trotted in from outside and reported that Yan King Ye Qing was looking for a meeting outside the Cining Hall.

Zhao Kuo and Li Fengniang looked at each other, and Ye Qing's arrival was almost the key to what they were going to discuss next.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Fengniang with some confusion, wondering if he should let Ye Qing come in at this time, or if he would let Ye Qing come in after he convinced Li Fengniang.

Li Fengniang sighed slightly, looked at Zhao Kuo with a hint of pleading expression, and thought for a while and said, "Let me hear what the King of Yan wants to say first."

"But what my mother, my son-in-law wants to ask you is related to the King of Yan, and it is about the death of Wanyan Jing..." Zhao Kuo did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly told Li Fengniang about his purpose of coming to Cining Palace.

Li Fengniang nodded silently and said, "From the moment you came in, my mother knew the purpose of your visit to Cining Palace this time. But... Since the King of Yan has arrived, maybe I should listen to what he will say first. After all, Wanyan Jing's matter is a big deal to King of Yan."

"I am afraid that the King of Yan will give up the south because he will go north to fight. In this way, the efforts of the past few months have been wasted. So I came to see my mother, hoping that the Queen of Yan could convince the King of Yan..." Zhao Kuo obviously didn't care about anything else at this moment. Over the past few months, all his thoughts have been focused on the matter of going south to fight in person, so although something happened at this time, he was still unwilling to change his plan.

Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo with some disapproval and looked anxious. She felt a little helpless. What made her sigh was that it had to be said that in just a few months, Zhao Kuo's thoughts had changed drastically from the past.

Just as Ye Qing once asked her: What is behind the Buddha statue, Li Fengniang's Buddhist connection easily broke, Zhao Kuo is now brainwashed by Ye Qing in Li Fengniang's eyes.

If you want a country to be rich and strong, then choose to fight. If you want a country to be poor and weak, then choose to fight.

Another sentence seems to have philosophical words, but it is as simple as the question behind the Buddha statue, but it has actually changed what Zhao Kuo thought, and even recalled and thought about it from time to time, hoping to understand something from it.

War is obviously still the best, fastest and most direct weapon to make a dynasty flourish or decline in this era and even in the next few hundred years, in the past thousand years.

War can plunder wealth, and war can also bring disasters and even signs of destruction of the country. However, the existence of war is just like the existence of human beings in this world, and it seems so indispensable in this era!

Without war, human beings and the times will never progress and develop rapidly. Without war, human beings will have no meaning. War is like the imperial examination. Winning the imperial examination is in control of fame and fortune, winning the war, and the world is in control of the world.

Losing the imperial examination is like losing a war, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. In short, the war and the imperial examination are there. The winners are kings and princes and losers are bandits. The war and the imperial examination are in time.

All are waiting for you to challenge.

Ye Qing stood in front of Li Fengniang, and Zhao Kuo and his son were talking. Li Fengniang frowned, but Zhao Kuo's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Why are you so rich, why do you still have to start a war? Are you not afraid of destroying the great country you are now!" Li Fengniang said coldly.

"Because only war can keep you strong forever. The Han and Tang dynasties were once strong for a while, but eventually they declined and perished. Why? It was precisely because when they became strong, although they did not enter the warehouse like Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan and put the horses in the south, they obviously ignored the foreign enemies' surrender to the Han and Tang dynasties, and it was just a temporary surrender. The peace in the world was just a short period of peace. Facts also proved that bowing down and submitting to the surrender was not enough to pay tribute every year, but to completely conquer them, assimilate them from a cultural perspective, integrate them, and let them be completely integrated with our China and the Song Dynasty. In this way, this is the real expansion of territory!" Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang's disdain and continued to talk.

Before Li Fengniang was snorted with a slight dissatisfaction, Zhao Kuo said excitedly: "Mother, the King of Yan suggested sending the Prince of Xin'an to follow me to the south to build academies and to promote the classics of the sages and the imperial examination system. It was not for the purpose of expanding the territory, but for the barbarians on the frontier to receive the same learning opportunities as the people of the Song Dynasty and scholars. It was because the King of Yan could not bear to see them fooled by the so-called sacrifices and gods, and to save them from dire straits..."

Ye Qing could hear a layer of goose bumps, and before Zhao Kuo could finish his words, Li Fengniang turned her head and glared at Zhao Kuo fiercely, took a deep breath and said, "If the King of Yan wants to fight north, the emperor will naturally not go south to fight in person..."

"No." Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo and looked at him, and hurriedly retorted: "What I just said is... It is natural for the Emperor of the Emperor to personally enlist. Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Yu Yunwen and others will continue to follow the Emperor of Enlist to personally enlist..."

"Really? Will the King of Yan not take them... or the Hua family army to head north together?" Zhao Kuo asked with some joy, but as soon as he spoke, he unconsciously became worried for Ye Qing.

Since Ye Qing did not bring Mo Xiaobao and others and the Hua family army north, but Ye Qing came to say goodbye today, which means that he still had to prepare to go north before the New Year, which means that Ye Qing would continue to attack the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition. So he immediately said a little worried: "If the Hua family army stayed in Lin'an and followed me to fight, what should you do if you return to Yanjing, King Yan? Wouldn't it be a bit too risky?"

Ye Qing was not surprised when Zhao Kuo said that. Instead, Li Fengniang looked back and looked back at Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo in surprise. She couldn't believe it at all. In just a few months, Zhao Kuo had begun to know how to worry about Ye Qing and think about the problem from Ye Qing's perspective!

And her mother, I have never heard Zhao Kuo care about her so much in the past few years! Even if it is just a word... I have never!

Ye Qing came to see Li Fengniang today because he knew very well that with Wanyan Jing's death, Li Fengniang might have known in her heart that she would definitely decide to go north in a short time and seize gold under the guise of avenging Wanyan Jing. In this way, Zhao Kuo would definitely not be able to go south as planned and personally fight.

So, in addition to saying goodbye to Li Fengniang this time, Ye Qing came here, hoping to convince Li Fengniang to agree to let Zhao Kuo continue to go south as the original plan after he left Lin'an.

Li Fengniang and Ye Qing have been fighting each other for half a lifetime, and they already know each other very well. Just as after Wanyan Jing's death, Li Fengniang knew very well that Ye Qing would take the opportunity to fight the north, and Ye Qing also knew that Wanyan Jing's death would give Li Fengniang an excuse to prevent Zhao Kuo from going south to personally.

Zhao Kuo obviously did not know Ye Qing as much as Li Fengniang, so he was worried about gains and losses after learning about Wanyan Jing's death. He was very afraid that Ye Qing would delay his wise king battle because he wanted to avenge Wanyan Jing.

Ye Qing made a speech like a speech, not only to Li Fengniang, who had always disliked warfare, but also to Zhao Kuo, who was afraid that Zhao Kuo would be worried about Lin'an because of his going north and his own going south.

Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing helplessly, and then looked at Zhao Kuo, who looked expectant. She really didn't expect that Zhao Kuo and Ye Qing would have stood on the same front tacitly in such a short time.

"Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and the others don't go north with you, then... are you going north alone?" Li Fengniang sighed heavily, and then nodded to Zhao Kuo, meaning that she agreed that Zhao Kuo would continue his unstarted expedition to the south after Ye Qing left Lin'an.

"I thank you my son and mother..." Zhao Kuo immediately saluted with joy.

Li Fengniang nodded in agreement, but it was not simply nodded in agreement, but it meant a lot.

After all, Ye Qing had to leave Lin'an and head north, and after the New Year, Zhao Kuo would also personally lead his army south. Then the entire Lin'an City naturally needed to be in charge alone, and this responsibility naturally fell on Li Fengniang, who had helped the Supreme Emperor handle the affairs of the court.
