Zhao Kuo, who returned to the bedroom with Han Ying, almost didn't sleep much all night. He kept thinking about the things Han Ying told him yesterday. It was because of those things that Zhao Kuo understood why his mother came to the imperial study room in person last night and prepared exquisite meals for them rarely.

Zhao Kuo seemed to be worried at the court meeting the next day. Looking at the court full of officials, Zhao Kuo was still thinking about what happened last night. Now, he seemed to understand why Ye Qing was willing to give up the court.

After all, if Ye Qing is willing to come to court every day, no matter how other officials will discuss it in private, as the current emperor, he will also give him a seat in the court because of his achievements in the Song Dynasty.

Giving a seat seems simple, but this is obviously the royal family and its recognition of Ye Qing. Similarly, it will convey a message like other court officials and even local officials, that is, Ye Qing is still in power in the court and the country!

Ye Qing chose not to attend court. Although he seemed to be a little despised and even did not take the court seriously, Zhao Kuo knew very well that the reason Ye Qing did this was to make more space for him to control the court.

Taking a deep breath, as the eunuch's sharp voice called Zhao Kuo back from his thoughts, then watching the civil and military officials withdraw from the court in sequence, Zhao Kuo became a little thoughtful, and then left behind Lou Yai and Han Yanjia.

Lou Yu had been promoted to the right prime minister's appointment, while the left prime minister's appointment is still hanging in the air after Xie Shenfu was exiled.

Zhao Kuo originally planned to summon Ye Qing to the court today, and then discuss with Ye Qing to let Ye Qing serve as the Left Prime Minister. However, what Han Ying said last night and Li Fengniang's attitude towards Ye Qing made Zhao Kuo become a little hesitant.

He was not afraid that Ye Qing would bring any threat to the royal family and the court after he became the left prime minister, but he was afraid that if he appointed Ye Qing as the left prime minister, he would make his mother unhappy again, and even cause private criticism from some court officials, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Ye Qing, and even make the relationship between mother Li Fengniang and Ye Qing stalemate again.

Han Yanjia and Lou Yu accompanied Zhao Kuo to the already green garden in the palace. Towering trees, rockery and strange rocks dotted among them, towering buildings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, these essential styles of Jiangnan buildings were also cleverly incorporated by craftsmen, making the royal garden look as if it were not as inconsistent as the Jin Man Palace at the time, but carefully carved, making the current royal garden more traditional Chinese artistic conception.

While Ye Qing had not entered the palace, Zhao Kuo sat down in a pavilion tea room with doors and windows. He was both birds singing and flowers singing and beautiful scenery in front of him. His indescribable refreshment made Zhao Kuo feel unwilling to continue this scene and talk about the troublesome and laborious affairs of the court.

"Xie Shenfu has been exiled to Jiaxing now, and the court cannot have a left prime minister for a day. Now... I wonder who the two adults think that the right person to serve as the left prime minister in the court is the most suitable one?" Zhao Kuo said straight to the point.

Although Zhao Kuo did not say it clearly a few days ago, there was already a vague idea in front of the two of them that Ye Qing was the left minister. Now that Zhao Kuo asked about the two again, Han Yanjia and Lou Yu seemed a little surprised for a moment.

The first time I was not thinking about who is more suitable for the Left Prime Minister, but was shocked and shocked. Could it be that now... the emperor has deliberately reduced the influence of the King of Yan?

For a moment, both of them were a little difficult to answer. It was not that they were interested in the King of Yan, but because the court had not yet fully established a foothold in Yanjing. If they had any action against the King of Yan at this time, the two of them would really not dare to think about the terrible consequences.

In Lin'an, from Emperor Gaozong to the late emperor, no one had ever wanted to move Ye Qing, but in the end, Ye Qing was still firmly standing in the north, still as a mountain, while the court experienced a series of storms in Lin'an. I don't know how many people gave up their heads because of Ye Qing. Even Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan, Tang Situi, and even the royal family member Zhao Ruyu were all finally defeated by Ye Qing's edge!

There is no way to defeat Ye Qing in Lin'an, and now... it can even be said that he has come to Ye Qing's territory in the north. If he wants to fight with Ye Qing here, Han Yanjia and Lou Yu are both unsure. They even think that if it is a mistake, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will get involved.

"Sage, I think... I think this matter needs to be thought twice. If I start suppressing Yan King Ye Qing at this moment, the country and the country may have disadvantages but no benefits for the court..." Lou Yiu said carefully.

Han Yanjia also had a heavy face. When he was thinking about how he should persuade Zhao Kuo after Lou Yu finished speaking, he heard Zhao Kuo's laughter coming from his ears.

Han Yanjia and Lou Yu both looked at Zhao Kuo who was smiling happily with a look of surprise. For a moment, they were confused and didn't know why Zhao Kuo laughed.

"Master Lou, what are you thinking?" Zhao Kuoba laughed a little and burst into tears, and said with a huff of anger: "When did I say I would suppress the King of Yan? I still have too late to rely on the King of Yan now, so how can I suppress the King of Yan again?"

"But... the priest went up to mention that he planned to let the King of Yan..." Han Yanjia asked with a confused expression.

"Yes, I did reveal this to you two a few days ago, but after thinking about it, it would be difficult for me to convince the King of Yan to be the Left Prime Minister. Moreover, now, the King of Yan is on the grassland in the north. If there is another court matter to make him work hard, I am afraid that someone will say that I don't know how to cherish the ministers around me. Of course, it is mainly because I am afraid that the King of Yan will not be willing to be the Left Prime Minister, so I will have to discuss the candidates if I don't look at the time?" Zhao Kuo said with a relaxed expression.

"This matter..." Lou Yu couldn't help but look at Han Yanjia. When he was about to recommend Han Yanjia in front of Zhao Kuo, Han Yanjia was the first to say: "Master, I think the Left Prime Minister's dispatch is the King of Yan, and if the King of Yan refused to accept this dispatch, I think... Now the Minister of Justice Bi Zaihui may be the most suitable candidate."

"What do you think?" Zhao Kuo was obviously satisfied after Han Yanjia finished speaking first, so he picked up the teacup on the table and asked.

"I also think that besides the King of Yan, it is most suitable for Bi Zaihui, the Minister of Justice." Lou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Zhao Kuo asked lightly.

"It is beneficial to the court and also to the appointment and removal of local officials by the emperor. Because of his status as an official in the north, it seems that it is not suitable for the Minister of Justice Bi Zai," Lou Yu said thinking.

Zhao Kuo nodded silently, and Han Yanjia unconsciously admired Lou Yu's insight. It has to be said that after the imperial court moved the capital to Yanjing, Bi Zaiyu of the Minister of Justice, it was obvious that he was really a more suitable candidate for the left prime minister.

Bi Zaiyu has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and has a lot of experience in dealing with local officials. If he was the current left prime minister, then the appointment and removal of some officials will naturally be much more beneficial to the court and Zhao Kuo in front of him.

When the imperial court moved the capital to Yanjing, it was obviously not satisfied with attending court in Yanjing and promulgating various national policies. Now after the capital is moved, the most important thing is to stabilize the local government and court, and even... some officials from all over the place who were appointed and removed by Ye Qing when he was regaining the northern land can be replaced by a group of officials, so that most of the officials can become officials who are interested in the court in a short period of time, rather than officials who only know that the Yan King Ye Qing.

Therefore, there are not many officials who can choose from in the court. Apart from Bi Zaiyu and others, Zhao Kuo actually has no extra choice.

The reason why Zhao Kuo chose Ye Qing at the beginning was just two extremes of the matter. Either the court appointed Ye Qing as the left prime minister, and then openly and frankly appoint and remove some officials from the northern region under Ye Qing's nose. This is naturally because of the trust between Zhao Kuo and Ye Qing, so that they would not have a disagreement between the monarch and the minister.

The other extreme is naturally that without Ye Qing's participation, the court appointed and removed another person as the left prime minister, and then he would do the job of replacing officials at all levels in the north.

Of course, no matter which extreme it is, what makes Zhao Kuo confident is that Ye Qing is now delegating power to him as an emperor without any condition. It is precisely for this reason that his conversation with Li Fengniang also made Zhao Kuo realize that he might be more bold in some things.

After all, Ye Qing still couldn't say something directly to Zhao Kuoming, otherwise those officials from the northern regions who were appointed and removed by Ye Qing would probably start cursing Ye Qing to kill the donkey behind his back.

Of course, Zhao Kuo knew that Bi Zai met this person and was also an official who came out of Dali Temple. He has been quite prestigious in the Lin'an officialdom over the years, and he and Lou Yu were almost regarded as the two most promising officials in the court.

In the matter of Xie Shenfu, in fact, in addition to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice also made a lot of efforts. However, in the matter of Xie Shenfu, Bi Zaiyu did not show any signs of the mountains and rivers. Not only did he maintain the resolution of the court, but he also did not have a negative impact on the Ministry of Justice.

It can be said that in Xie Shenfu's case, everything Bi Zaiyu did was very consistent with Zhao Kuo's intentions, very steady and low-key, and more importantly, he was able to do things well and take into account the overall situation.

Of course, Yelu Chucai is also a rare talent, but because of his identity as a Jin man, he was obviously excluded. Moreover, as King Yan said, whether it was Wanyan Tu, Yelu Chucai, or Wanyan Congyi, the current sentencing given to them by the court is enough to stabilize the hearts of the Jin people, and even make the Jin people begin to face the Song Dynasty and be willing to obtain fame and honor in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuo, who knew what he knew, let the two of them leave the palace. In a short while, there was news that Ye Qing entered the palace.

Zhao Kuo ultimately chose not to go to the Imperial Study Room, but chose to go to a palace where Han Ying raised many flowers and plants. There are still many flowers and plants that have not been moved outside. They were all put into this palace because they were afraid of being frozen to death in the cold winter of Yanjing.

In addition to these flowers and plants, the palace is a place where Han Ying spends some boring time on weekdays. In addition to those flowers and plants, there are also tables, chairs and other objects, making the entire palace more elegant valley full of flowers than a palace.

Han Ying is a native of Jiangnan and it is understandable that he likes flowers and plants. In addition, Zhao Kuo was also born in Lin'an, so this preference was supported by Zhao Kuo, which made Zhao Kuo often willing to come here and let Han Ying accompany him to relax.

Ye Qing did not come to the palace alone. In addition to the Imperial Army Commander Ye Gucheng, who came to greet him, there was Tuolei who had just arrived in Yanjing yesterday. Chi Lao Wen did not follow him. After all, the spirits last night had been fighting with Wanyan and the other two, and he still had a headache.

In addition, Chi Lao Wen also knew that Ye Qing had no evil intentions towards Tuo Lei, so he was relieved to let Ye Qing bring Tuo Lei to the palace of Song Ting. Of course, even if Chi Lao Wen followed him, he believed that after reaching the majestic and majestic palace gate, Ye Qing would never let him in, and could only stay outside the palace and wait.

Ye Qing deliberately chose to get off the carriage at the gate of the first palace, so that Tuo Lei, who was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, could see the power hub of Song Ting more clearly and carefully.

As soon as he got off the car, Tolei was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him. He never thought that the palace was like this, let alone that there was such a towering building in the world... he would never have dreamed of.

Ye Qing looked at the shock in his eyes quietly, and when he walked past the huge palace gate, Tolei couldn't help but look up at his head. He was really puzzled. How was such a tall palace gate built? The huge arch above his head made him very puzzled why it would not collapse.

Ye Qing walked and introduced the palaces on both sides to him. When he walked to the palace where court officials usually went to court, the countless steps seemed to reach the sky, which made Tuo Lei stop involuntarily, and looked at the steps that seemed to reach the sky and the tall golden roof at the top.

"This...is the place where Emperor Song Ting lives?" Tolei murmured.

"The emperor does not live here, but during the daily court meeting, he will participate in politics and affairs with all civil and military officials here. The emperor lives behind the palace, including his concubines, mothers and other female relatives, all of whom live behind it." Ye Qing explained to Tolei with a smile.

Ye Gucheng, who was beside him, had already shown an impatient expression. Although Ye Gucheng looked down upon Tuolei's surprise and shock at the Song Ting Palace, he was still a little shocked. He looked at Tuolei's shocked expression and suddenly wanted to know... What was the situation of the grassland where Tuolei was? Could it be that the busy grassland was covered with countless white tents?
