"Father-in-law, you can understand it that way." Song Qingshu smiled slightly. He thought that the people of this world didn't have enough imagination. Right now, he could not only influence Liao's decisions to a certain extent, but all of Liao was under his control.
Of course, he couldn't tell them such a confidential matter right now. Since they had their own understanding, then it was good to let them continue to misunderstand.
Song Qingshu continued, "So next, I want to ask Brother Yelu to return to Liao and take control of Liao's military power … in the future, I may need Brother Yelu's help."
After Yelu Yixin's fall, while the Emperor and Empress were on the same side, Xiao Pidi's family was already the most powerful in the court. Even with Su Quan's relationship, he couldn't completely trust him. Otherwise, another Yelu Yixin would be cultivated. So in the end, after he discussed with Zhao Min and Su Quan, they decided to transfer Yelu Qi back to Liao to keep Xiao Pidi in check. Whether it was age, experience, or intelligence, Yelu Qi was inferior to Xiao Pidi. At that time, Yelu Qi would have to draw closer to the Emperor and Empress in order to gain a foothold. In this way, the political situation in Liao would truly stabilize.
Yelu Qi suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Then when the time comes, who will I listen to?"
"All the palaces have been deployed. This official position has always been held by the Emperor's confidants. Naturally, you will listen to the Emperor." Song Qingshu smiled faintly.
Yelu Qi looked at him thoughtfully. "What if the Emperor orders me to do something that is not beneficial to the Golden Snake Camp?"
"Don't worry, the Emperor will not give such an order." Song Qingshu smiled mysteriously.
Yelu Qi and his son were shocked. They looked at each other, shocked at the huge amount of information behind these words. But no matter how they guessed, they would never have guessed that the current Emperor was one of Song Qingshu's people.
"After all, I'm still young. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to deal with those old foxes in the court alone. Why don't you let my father go with you?" Yelu Qi continued.
Before Song Qingshu could answer, Yelu Chucai shook his head and said, "It is because you are young that the Emperor dares to use you again. It is because you lack experience and qualifications that you can only rely on him. If I go back, the Emperor will be afraid, and we, father and son, will be in danger. Moreover, I am now dealing with the government affairs of the Golden Snake Camp. There are still a lot of things to deal with here, and I can't leave."
Yelu Chucai looked at his son with deep meaning. There were some things that he couldn't say clearly. Qi 'er was still too inexperienced and couldn't see the intricacies behind it. If he could go back now, Song QingShu wouldn't have just taken out one appointment letter, but two. Now that the relationship between us is not completely stable, how can Song Qingshu be at ease to let us leave together?
What's more, how could there be no checks and balances when you were given such a powerful position? Yan 'er alone isn't enough. Obviously, he needs me and her to stay here as' hostages', so that he can control you.
Yelu Chucai had been in and out of politics for so many years, and had long mastered the rules of the game. Therefore, although he saw through everything, he didn't have the slightest disgust, but instead felt a trace of gratification.
After all, with Yan 'er's marriage to Song Qingshu, his family had been completely tied to him. The stronger he was, the more brilliant his methods were, the brighter the future of the family would be. If he only had martial arts but no tactics, then he could only be a general who charged and broke through enemy lines, and it would be difficult for him to be a lord. Then the family would really be in danger.
Song QingShu looked at Yelu Chucai meaningfully, obviously guessing that Yelu Chucai understood his intention, "That's right, we can't do without Father-in-law, the Prime Minister. There are still many things that we need to trouble Father-in-law with." It was pleasant to talk to smart people, otherwise, many things could easily hurt feelings.
After telling the father and son about the matters of returning to Liao, he chatted for a while more, then got up to leave.
When he returned to his room, Yelu Yan was no longer in bed. Song Qingshu asked the maid and found out that she went to the Ninth Princess's room after washing up, so he turned around and walked to Ah-Jiu's room.
When he arrived at Ah Jiu's room, he saw Yelu Yan serving tea to Ah Jiu. Song Qingshu couldn't help but be speechless, "Is this the rhythm of a bride serving tea to the first wife?"
Ah Jiu also smiled bitterly, "I already said that we sisters are very easy-going and don't need to do this, but Little Sister Yan 'er insisted on serving tea."
Yelu Yan looked at Song Qingshu, and couldn't help but think of the scene of him playing with her legs last night. She couldn't help but blush, "This is what my father told me to do."
Song Qingshu and Ah Jiu looked at each other, understanding that this was the gesture that Yelu Chucai wanted his daughter to make. On one hand, it was to show that she had no intention of competing with Ah Jiu, and on the other hand, it was equivalent to a pledge of allegiance to Ah Jiu. After drinking this cup of tea, the two sides could be considered to be on the same side.
"Since it's father-in-law's good intentions, then Ah Jiu, don't refuse." Song Qingshu knew that if Ah Jiu didn't drink it, it would easily arouse the Yelu family's suspicions.
Ah Jiu clearly thought the same as him. He took the tea and took a sip, "Thank you, Little Sister Yan 'er."
Only then did Song Qingshu walk over and embrace the two women in his arms, one in each hand. "Okay, okay, from now on, we are a family. Our family doesn't have any rules, so Yan 'er, you don't have to be so nervous."
"Yes, Big Sister Ah Jiu has always been very good to me," Yelu Yan said with a red face.
Ah Jiu pushed him away in annoyance, "It's not good for people to see this in broad daylight."
"So what if they see it? We are husband and wife, and no one can stop us." Song Qingshu said proudly.
Yelu Yan blinked her eyes and felt that her husband was a little unusual, but the girls on the grassland liked this kind of man who bravely expressed his love.
Ah Jiu was deeply influenced by Confucian education. Although they had been together for so long, he still couldn't stand his boldness. He blushed and spat, "Nonsense again. Stop it, the Southern Song's envoy is here."
"Southern Song's envoy?" Song Qingshu frowned. He didn't need to ask to know why the Southern Song's envoy came. It was nothing more than to urge the Golden Snake Camp to send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom with the Southern Song Dynasty.
The most difficult thing was that the two sides were now allies, and they had promised to send troops together, so it was difficult to refuse.
"In fact, the Southern Song Dynasty has already sent several waves of envoys, and I have used various methods to send them away. This time, another envoy came. Obviously, the Southern Song Dynasty is a little impatient." Ah Jiu also looked like he had a headache. "Oh, by the way, this envoy heard that you are back and insisted on seeing you, saying that he is your acquaintance."
"My acquaintance?" Song Qingshu was stunned and curious about who it was. "Then tell him to come to the study, I'll go there right away."
Yelu Yan hesitated and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Hearing her timid words, Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing and grabbed her hand. "You are my woman now, what is there to avoid? Let's go together. "
