The two carriages slowly stopped in front of the Yanwang Mansion. Yan Qingcheng first got off the carriage, looked at the carriage that had just stopped opposite him, and stood on the steps and waited quietly. Until she was a little impatient and was about to turn her head back to the house, Ye Qing slowly jumped off the carriage, and then he didn't know what to explain to Brother Feng Zhang, so he walked towards Yan Qingcheng.

When he approached Yan Qingcheng, Yan Qingcheng's expression seemed very calm, which made Ye Qing's observation and expression seem useless, so he had to ask, "How is it? That old boy is still angry?"

"What do you think?" Yan Qingcheng said angrily.

Then Ye Qing took a breath and said unhappily: "This old boy Zhao Shichun is really stingy. Gucheng's affairs are the affairs of Gucheng. Wuque's things are Wuque's things, how can we confuse them? Otherwise, I went to him and let him know that although Ye Qing is old, his fists are still as good as those back then..." "Are you done?" Yan Qingcheng said angrily impatiently.

"Then you can't watch Gucheng separate from Ling'er? Then, why do you and I become parents? Then how can you explain to Gucheng?" Ye Qing ignored Yan Qingcheng's cold eyes and said with a cold face.

Yan Qingcheng sighed helplessly. For a moment, he didn't know how to tell Ye Qing what happened today, but the couple still knew each other well for many years, so they had to wait and say, "You are the king of Yan, can't you talk to the king of Wu well? Back then, you were in Yangzhou, and you had to compete with others in everything..."

"I'm doing it for his own good. If I hadn't suppressed him like that, who would have known whether the royal family would have touched him at that time?" Ye Qing explained to himself.

Yan Qingcheng glanced at Ye Qing again and continued, "Yes, you are for his own good, but... have you ever thought about it from someone else's perspective? It was because of you that the King of Wu today was born. Otherwise, he would still be a Duke, right? But you, Ye Qing, have no other purpose? This time..."

Yan Qingcheng paused, then sighed and said, "It's true that Wuque is not known to us for such a big thing. What's the use of just telling Huanyue? He really doesn't understand the words of his parents' orders and matchmakers! He has known that he has always held the book and now he's ready to read it as a nerd."

The two of them walked into the mansion while talking. Ye Qing listened to Yan Qingcheng's habitual habit of being out of the question again, scratched his head, and then continued to ask: "What's going on with Gucheng and Ling'er? Isn't you going to the Wu Palace today mainly for Gucheng?"

"The King of Wu and his wife neither opposed nor agreed, but they accepted all the gifts they gave today, including some things that could be regarded as betrothal gifts. But... I also heard that the King of Wu and his wife's implied that I still hope you can give them a reasonable explanation. The matter between Gucheng and Ling'er is naturally not a problem, but Wuque and Huanyue are probably not that easy. According to the meaning, the King of Wu also planned to go to the palace to seek justice with the emperor. In short, you, King of Yan, need to give someone a reasonable explanation for this matter." Yan Qingcheng's tone was somewhat exhausted. Obviously, the proposal of marriage at the King of Wu's mansion today was not as easy as Ye Qing imagined.

Ye Qing's expression gradually became gloomy. Yan Qingcheng followed aside after one step behind. The couple walked through the corridor together. Seeing Ye Qing's expression becoming a little gloomy, Yan Qingcheng was shocked for a moment, wondering if he had said something just now a little too serious.

"Zhao Shichun is just a small-minded person, and he is short-sighted." Ye Qing continued with some dissatisfaction: "It seems that Wuque wants to go to a grassland woman as his wife, which is a disrespect for him, Zhao Shichun, but hasn't he thought that the court would now win over the Khan of the various tribes of the grassland, as well as Tolei and Chagatai, would implicate their family? How many Zhao Shichun's family can escape to Lin'an after the Jingkang Incident in the past year? Although the peace and stability over the years have given the clan a certain extent, why didn't Zhao Shichun look in front of him? How many women who are married at the right age in the clan are in this clan? If the clan khans request to marry a clan a woman as their wife, can his Zhao Shichun's youngest daughter escape the clan's eyes?"

After hearing Ye Qing say this, Yan Qingcheng suddenly realized something. After a moment of silence, he hurriedly followed Ye Qing's footsteps, reached out and pulled Ye Qing's sleeve, then stood still and asked, "What do you mean? Isn't it enough for Wuque to marry a woman in the grassland? Will the royal family still marry a woman to the grassland?"

"I have refused this matter in the inn today, and Wuque was summoned to the palace today. I am afraid that it is because of this matter. The reason why I am willing or even proactively promoted Wuque to marry a grassland woman was to use this to block the mouths of the sartoral tribes and the unreasonable and excessive demands. However, Zhao Shichun obviously did not fully see through the Mongolian envoys coming to Beijing, and was still calculating about his little face." Ye Qing said with a gloomy face.

Yan Qingcheng frowned slightly, looked at Ye Qing and asked seriously: "What do you mean is that if Huanyue and Wuque's marriage fail, then will it be possible to marry Huanyue to the Mongolian? This... with Huanyue's temperament, how could he be willing to marry into the grassland..."

"I didn't say that I would definitely marry on the grassland. I have rejected this matter today. But if it is..." Ye Qing explained to Yan Qingcheng.

"There is no if, nor if, no if, Huanyue can't marry on the grassland no matter what, Huanyue can't marry on the grassland. I grew up watching this girl. As early as in Yangzhou, I had already regarded her as my daughter-in-law. She was so well-educated and polite, and extremely intelligent. No matter what method you, the King of Yan, use, how to talk to the Khan of the Grassland tribe, whether it's a coercion or a trick of your King of Yan, in short, this matter is impossible!" Yan Qingcheng said firmly in front of Ye Qing, and he was almost threatening Ye Qing with more serious words.

Ye Qing looked at Yan Qingcheng helplessly and said helplessly: "Why do you take it seriously if you haven't accomplished something? It's just that there is such a possibility now, for example... If Zhao Shichun is trying to die, then the court may put pressure on him first. But in short, this matter is not as serious as you think. Also, Huanyue, no matter what, if someone has not married into your family, don't always take it on your own initiative to treat him as your daughter-in-law."

"I'll just pretend, why?" Yan Qingcheng did not give in, and held up his still plump breasts, raised his chin that was gradually no longer delicate, and said fiercely: "I tell you Ye Qing, I have never asked you to do anything for so many years, but you must let me..."

Yan Qingcheng was anxious and a little speechless for a moment, but he didn't know how to be anxious with Ye Qing. Then he patted Ye Qing in a hurry and said threateningly: "I tell you about this matter. If you can't do it well, I will never finish it with you! If Huanyue is married to the grassland, I...you...you...if you don't care, I will let Yelu Yue take the army to rob Huanyue back!"

"You are really... the army of the court is not ours. How could it be mobilized by Yelu Yue if he wants to mobilize it?" Ye Qing was speechless. He had known for a long time that it was a mistake to ask Yelu Yue to lead his army to the grassland last year. Now it has come true. Isn't it because some people have begun to treat some large armies directly as their own.

"No matter who you belong to, it really doesn't work... OK, if you, King Yan, can't do it, then I will go to Zhao Kuo, and I don't believe it anymore. Every time I come to the mansion, I, Yan Qingcheng, don't even have such a face?" After Yan Qingcheng finished speaking angrily, he stomped his feet and walked inside.

When he was about to cross the moon gate, he suddenly stopped again and looked back at Ye Qing and said, "I must know what his attitude is about this matter if you want Wuque to come back for dinner at night."

"Wuquettable at night, he wants to have dinner with Li Fengniang in the palace." Ye Qing said subconsciously without even thinking about it.

After saying that, he saw Bai Chun standing next to Yan Qingcheng at some point, and was looking at Ye Qing coldly at this moment.

"What did you say just now? Why did Wuque have to have dinner with Li Fengniang in the palace? When did he enter the palace?" Bai Chun asked while walking towards Ye Qing, while the other culprit Yan Qingcheng opened his mouth and finally left quickly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, fearing that he would be affected in a while.

When Bai Chun slowly walked towards Ye Qing, Yan Qingcheng ran into the front hall. In the hall, Yelu Yue and Zhong Qing had just discussed whether to set up some fireworks in the back garden of the mansion during the Spring Festival, or to go out for fun and make it more lively.

When Yan Qingcheng came in, the two women almost stood up together, with a hint of urgency between their expressions, and asked in unison: "How is it? Is it done?"

Yan Qingcheng sighed slightly, and looked at the direction of the Moon Gate not far behind him with concern, and then said to Zhong Qing and Yelu Yue: "The matter of Gucheng is almost the same, so there should be no problem. But Wuque's affairs... I just said it, and it seems a bit complicated. Bai Chun is now negotiating with his husband, and somehow, Li Fengniang has also participated. In short, it is really a headache to participate with the clan." Yelu Yue rarely handed Yan Qingcheng a cup of hot water, then sat down next to him and asked: "Did the King of Wu have some opinions because Wuque wants to marry a grassland woman?"

Yan Qingcheng nodded, frowned slightly and said, "I just told my husband that everything women can do has already done. It mainly depends on how the husband and the King of Wu. But no matter what, I still hope that before we leave Yanjing, we can not only decide the marriage of Gucheng, but also the marriage of Wuque." Yan Qingcheng, who said here, sighed slightly again and said with some concern: "I just don't know if it's time to come. I'm really afraid that Gucheng and Wuque's affairs have not yet been settled, so we have to move to Liaoyang again." "We go to Liaoyang... This matter is not too fast." Yelu Yue said in a contemplation.

"Why?" Zhong Qing asked in confusion.

Yelu Yue looked at Yan Qingcheng and Zhong Qing, and moved her lips silently, with a little hesitation between her expressions, which made Yan Qingcheng and Zhong Qing seem to have noticed something. After the two women looked at each other, Zhong Qing asked, "Do you know something, we don't know?"

"Is there anything else that makes my husband feel at ease on the grassland?" Yan Qingcheng asked afterwards.

Yelu Yue nodded slightly in the face of the two women's questioning, looked at the worry on the two women's faces, and then smiled first, "It's not as serious as you imagined. In fact, you also know that as long as you understand and stabilize it, you can just make sense. The reason why I am sure that I won't leave Yanjing soon is because... I guess my husband has been waiting for the Huajia Army to return from the grassland. As long as the Huajia Army has not returned from the grassland, we will not leave Yanjing for a while."

"Although we have to take away a lot of things to move to Liaoyang, why do we have to wait for the Hua family army to return to Yanjing? Could it be that we are afraid of encountering any accidents on our way to Liaoyang?" Yan Qingcheng asked after thinking for a moment.

Yelu Yue didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Zhong Qing, who was beside her, bit her lip and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhong Qing whispered: "Maybe... you should not have the intention to harm others, but you should not have the intention to guard against others."

"What does it mean?" Yan Qingcheng asked with a frown.

Over the years, Yan Qingcheng has been in charge of big and small things in the mansion, and has never been as sensitive to external affairs as Zhong Qing, Yelu Yue and Bai Chun. Therefore, once he talks about some things in the court or some things about the outside world about the Yan Prince's Mansion, he often touches Yan Qingcheng's blind spots.

"Although I'm just guessing, I think it's probably not too far from the truth." Zhong Qing bit her lip lightly and continued thoughtfully: "Since the court moved the capital to Yanjing, my husband has been making some concessions, so that the court can gradually effectively control all prefectures in the northern region, but the army has been in the hands of his husband over the years. But in the past two years, it can be clearly felt that his husband has also begun to slowly delegate power in some decisions of various armies in the northern region, and slowly tilt towards the court and the Ministry of War." "Yes,

It is said that it is the husband's step by step concession, which has led to the harmonious and prosperous era of the Song Dynasty today. But we should not forget that when the husband's transfer of rights in various prefectures and prefectures, he once let... Xie Shenfu take advantage of the loopholes, which makes the court chaotic, and the states and prefectures also implicated in it for a while. And these are just the administrations of various places, and there will be such turmoil. So we can also imagine that in the transfer of rights of the army, it may not be absolutely smooth, and there will definitely be various kinds of things.

The accident, even during the transfer of power, a military general like Xie Shenfu appeared. Therefore, I guess, although my husband didn't say it, he must be preparing for it in his heart." "The court is the court, and the emperor is the emperor. Although Zhao Kuo and the emperor are the same person, Zhao Kuo, who appears in our mansion, is not necessarily the emperor in the court." Looking at Yan Qingcheng and Yelu Yue blinking their long eyelashes, Zhong Qing shook his head awkwardly, and then continued: "Although it is a bit lingering, what I want to say is, some things

The love may not be Zhao Kuo's original intention after it happened, but it is indeed in line with the interests of Zhao Kuo, who is the king. The emperor may not do this, but it does not mean that some ministers in the court will not take the initiative to share the worries of the king." "What do you mean is that your husband is now back in Yanjing and the Hua family army to prevent us from having an accident on the way to Liaoyang? And these accidents may not be Zhao Kuo's intention, or even Li Fengniang's intention, but they are the actions that are most in line with the interests of the royal family?" Yelu Yue asked with a frown slightly.

Zhong Qing nodded gently, still shaking her lips gently, and said lightly: "Actually, if you want to judge whether your husband really thinks that way, just ask Bai Chun for a while, or call Zhao Paner over and ask, you may be able to guess your husband's true intention."

"But...who will move your husband? Who has the courage to move your husband? If Zhao Kuo no longer supports him, I really wouldn't have expected anyone to dare to get along with your husband." Yelu Yue frowned and said.

"At that time, no one believed that Xie Shenfu dared to openly be enemies with his husband, right? Even with Li Fengniang's support, other officials would probably not dare to be enemies with his husband, right? But then again, in the court officialdom, there are always some people who will be blinded by power and fame and fortune, and will risk the whole family being implicated and do some unimaginable stupid things. Isn't it?" Zhong Qing said lightly.

Yelu Yue was unconsciously influenced by Zhong Qing, and also bit her red lips gently, and then suddenly said, "No, I really rebelled against them. You dare to bully your husband. Go and find Bai Chun. Sister, please send someone to find Zhao Paner. I will go out of the city to break the camp immediately..."

Yelu Yue deserves to be known as Yelu Iron-Free in the army. In a short period of time, the actions he made were obviously quite like a general, with the momentum of commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.

However, today's decisive and decisive style attracted a burst of laughter from Zhong Qing, and hurriedly grabbed Yelu Yue's sleeve who was about to get up, and said with a smile: "You are really resolute and decisive. You are so bold, why don't you make a fuss all over the city? Besides, this is just my guess. If you want to figure it out, don't you have to discuss it with Bai Chun and Pan'er?"

"They both of them hold a lot of personnel and affairs of various armies in their hands, and they are even called the Ministry of War..." Zhong Qing said here, and suddenly her face changed. The hand holding Yelu Yue couldn't help but tighten, which made Yelu Yue look down at her hand that was a little bit painful by Zhong Qing, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"Ministry of War!" Zhong Qing suddenly said: "Yes, it's the Ministry of War. If there is an accident on our way to Liaoyang, we will definitely be related to the Ministry of War. The various armies... obviously someone has already unified the position with the Ministry of War."

"Wouldn't that be...only Bai Chun and Zhao Pan'er know...?" Yelu Yue asked in surprise.

Zhong Qing shook her head silently, with a solemn expression of thinking on her face, while Yan Qingcheng didn't say a word. Although she understood everything, she felt messy and it was difficult to systematically connect the words they just said, and it was even more difficult to understand the pros and cons of them for a while.

At this time, in Ye Qing's study, Bai Chun and Ye Qing were sitting opposite each other, and Ye Qing was holding a secret letter from Bai Chun to him.

Bai Chun said lightly when Ye Qing looked at the secret letter with a calm expression: "Although it cannot prove anything, it is enough to show that the Ministry of War has stretched out a little too long in the process of your retreat. In addition, the current decline on the grassland has also made some generals who are hopeless to go further through military merits and begin to unconsciously plan their future. Since the court has not had many battles to fight, their chances of promoting through military merits will become increasingly slim. Then going to the line between the Ministry of War and the court to promote will become the only opportunity for some people."

"But it is not possible to tell at the moment whether the changes in positions or motives of these people will have a certain impact on the morale of the various armies. But it is certain that with the transfer of the power of the army, this trend will continue to spread, which means that the attitudes of the armies in the north can gradually be unified towards the court and the Ministry of War, which will accelerate your marginalization in the army. The Hua Family Army, the Breaking the Camp, and the Yuguan Guards are still in a solid state, but in the Sixteen Prefectures and other places in Yanyun, there are already generals in the army that are tilting towards the Ministry of War and the court." "Yu Yunwen, Xin Qiji, Li Heng, Li Zhongfang, Liu Keshi and others also sent secret letters, and they also began to worry. If you speed up the plan to delegate power, it may cause some turmoil. So what they mean is that they hope you can slow down, or slow down, so that the transfer of power will be more stable."

"No one knows what will happen in the future, but one thing is certain that once this matter is wrong, your efforts in the North over the years will be wasted. This is obviously not what Yu Yunwen, Xin Qiji and the others want to see. They don't want to see that one day, the rift between the Andong Protectorate, Anxi, Anbei and the imperial court led by Liaoyang Prefecture will be expanded."

Seeing Ye Qing put down the thick secret letter in his hand, Bai Chun finally said, "So... the flower-planting family army must return to Yanjing before we can leave Yanjing and go to Liaoyang. This is not only what I think, but also the opinions of Yu Yunwen, Liu Keshi and others."

"Who is the Ministry of War that is the most clamoring?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"No matter who is clamoring the most, it is a dilemma for you now. Of course you can suppress him, but what after the suppression? How can you continue to transfer power? What will the court do? What will Zhao Kuo and Li Fengniang think? The most important thing is that suppressing revenge, or even building momentum for you again in the army, may the effect be counterproductive, and will only make your plan to leave Yanjing fail and thus end up in the waste." Bai Chun shrugged and spread his hands as he imitated Ye Qing.

"I didn't think about giving up halfway. There are talents in the country, and a generation of new people will be replaced by old people. But no matter what, in the north, the two words King of Yan or Ye Qing will still work in the north for at least ten years. Then according to their opinions, slow down the plan to transfer power. As for the Ministry of War, what should I do if someone urges me to...?" Ye Qing asked at Bai Chun.

"This is what I'm going to enter the palace next. Whether she, Li Fengniang, agrees or not, she has to compromise in the end. Even Zhao Kuo, needs to show a clear attitude on this matter. Otherwise... they will probably go back to Lin'an and sit half of their country." Bai Chun's rare attitude and tone were so tough. Of course, it may be related to Li Fengniang summoning Ye Wuque to the palace for dinner.

As for this matter, Ye Qing naturally did not want to interfere. After all, even the various armies in the north are slowly delegating power. As we are talking about now, they almost always act according to the opinions of Yu Yunwen and others. This is also a sign that Ye Qing wants to delegate power, but it makes Yu Yunwen, Liu Keshi and others feel a little uneasy, and this is the real interest group.
