After three days, Ye Qing almost never left the mansion, and he hadn't even been to the front yard several times.

If it weren't for thanking Yelu Yixue for escorting Yelu Yue to Jingzhao Mansion, Ye Qing would probably have been by Yelu Yue's side. Either the two were silently staring at each other, or they showed meaningful or even tacit smiles.

Since Ye Qing came back, the most obvious change was that he was taciturn and talked about the same thing about the maids in Bai Chun, Honglou and other mansions. They all maintained a kind attitude, but whether it was Bai Chun or Honglou, they could feel that Yelu Yue in front of him was like a soulless empty shell, as if her soul was thrown in the Liao Kingdom.

Ye Qing came in three days and the most thought in his mind was: If Yelu Yue asked him to help her restore her country, how should she answer?

Fortunately, even in Yelu Yue's meaningful smile, Yelu Yue never mentioned the Liao Kingdom, as if the Liao Kingdom still existed in the Western Regions, as if the pain of the demise of the Liao Kingdom had been forgotten by Yelu Yue.

Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou are old and cunning, and their cunning is extremely deep, so they have never found Ye Qing in the past few days.

As for Li An, the Marquis of Xingqing, he was even more worried at this time. At the celebration banquet that day when Ye Qing had just returned to Jingzhao Mansion, he cried while drinking. After sobering up the next day, Li An regretted it and wanted to kill him on the wall.

So in the past few days, Li An, who has been worried, was afraid that Ye Qing would ask him to settle the bill for the celebration banquet that night, so he dared not come to visit Ye Qing on his own initiative.

King Qing Zhao Kai, Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun, and Duke Rongguo Zhao Shikui, have been closed to guests for the past three days. Of course, the interactions between the three of them are naturally not included. Everyone knows that in the lively Chang'an City on the New Year, what they fear most at this time was the visit of Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou.

After all, this place is the northern part, and after all, it is the territory under Ye Qing's control. Before Ye Qing returned to Chang'an from the Yanzhou frontline, King Qing and the other two dared not blatantly communicate with Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou. Now with Ye Qing returning to Chang'an City, the three of them wished they could draw the boundaries with Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou.

Whether it is King Qing or Duke Chong, who have been in the north for the past few years, although they have made a lot of efforts in the north over the years and have used their identity and influence as royal relatives to help Ye Qing legitimately stabilize the hearts of the people in the north, for some reason, they always cannot be very reasonable in their hearts. Now the north is the territory of the Song Dynasty court. On the contrary, as time goes by, the feeling that the north belongs to Ye Qing's personal is getting stronger and stronger, obvious.

In the past few years, what surprised King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chong Guo Zhao Shichun was that as they went further and further in the north, they gradually realized that in addition to the two royal families, there were actually... several royal families captured by the Jin people to the Jin Kingdom that year, helped Ye Qing to do a mission to appease the people on Bianjing Road, Shandong Road and other places.

"The total number of seven people is Zhao Zhu, the Emperor Huafu Zhao Yue, the Emperor Chunfu Zhao Ling, the Duke of Wen Zhao Dong, the Duke of Yi Zhao Tong, the Duke of Chang Zhao Bing, and the Duke of Ning Zhao Xun. Now, the Duke of Yi Zhao Tong died of illness in Kaifeng last year, and the other six people are still in various prefectures. They are all in the prefectures of the Duke of the State, and they are quite prestigious in the local area. In recent years, they have also won the hearts of the people." Duke of Chong Zhao Shichun looked at Zhao Shikui and Zhao Kai with a serious sternness, sighed slightly and said, "But it is not very clear whether their affairs in the prefectures of the northern part are related to Ye Qing. Naturally, we cannot completely determine whether their identities are true or false."

Duke Zhao Shikui of Rong nodded slightly, looked at King Qing who was not speaking, and then sighed: "I don't know if you still remember what Ye Qing's first imperial envoy... was the case?"

"It is said that it was sent by Emperor Gaozong, and Ye Qing led the Imperial City Division to the north secretly. It is said that he had been to Sizhou and other places." King Qing then continued: "But these are the private affairs of Emperor Gaozong back then. We cannot suspicion that we cannot catch the wind and shadow. Duke Changguo, Emperor Ning Fu and others were rescued by Ye Qing at that time. What's more...even Ye Qing rescued..." King Qing looked helpless and said: "But after all, we are from our royal family. No matter what angle we are from now, we cannot blame Ye Qing for it."

"Since Ye Qing took charge of the Imperial City Division, the Jin people secretly sent the royal family to the south twice. The purpose was not clear, but these two things were true. Ye Qing also went to Jiaxing Prefecture, and then the envoys from the Jin envoy group disappeared in Jiaxing Prefecture. The Supreme Emperor always believed that the Sizhou and Jiaxing were inseparable from Ye Qing." Zhao Shikui, Duke Rong, came to Jingzhao Prefecture this time with the will of the Supreme Emperor Gushan.

As for the real purpose of letting Zhao Shikui come to Jingzhao Prefecture, it is to hope that King Qing and Duke Chong can think about the royal family and the great Song Dynasty. With their long time with Ye Qing, they will know more things

Due to love, some of the reasons for Ye Qing’s disloyalty to the court can be found.

The territory of the Northern Land is gradually becoming more and more stable in Ye Qing's hands. The Jin people's counterattack has never been able to cross the Yellow River again and break through Ye Qing's defense line. Therefore, as time goes by, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ling, who originally regarded the Northern Land as a hot potato, began to hope that the territory of the Northern Land can be truly included in the territory of the Song Dynasty during his lifetime.

After ascending the throne, Zhao Xing was determined to seek the Northern Expedition to recover the territory, but the Song army at that time disappointed him one after another. Every Northern Expedition was either defeated by the Jin people or by internal strife between his own people.

In short, Zhao Xing's Northern Expedition was a matter of higher intentions and thinner life. Every time he made the Northern Expedition full of hope, he returned disappointed every time.

Zhao Xing never believed Ye Qing's loyalty to the Song court. Even though Ye Qing was truly loyal to the court, as the commander of the Imperial City Department, as well as his control over Huainan East Road and his control over the northern region over the years, he could easily woven all kinds of evidence of Ye Qing's crimes.

Whether it is corruption, abuse of power, dereliction of duty, or even corruption, in Zhao Sheng's view, Ye Qing, who started his career as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, could not be clean and flawless in any case.

So the only difficulty is, with Ye Qing's strength and huge influence in the North, is there anyone who dares to blatantly stand up and impeach Ye Qing?

Whether it is Shi Miyuan or Han Tuozhou, although they are in distress with Ye Qing everywhere in the court, and there are censors who impeach Ye Qing every day, in Zhao Sheng's eyes, neither of them is really for the court. They are entirely for their own interests and ambitions, so they are in distress with Ye Qing everywhere.

This is of course an important point worthy of Zhao Xing's use, but as the saying goes: people are old and traitors are old and horses are old. Zhao Xing, who is already in his twilight years, wants to leave a rich mark in history books in the Zhao Song royal family when he knows that he has not had much time.

Under the premise that he knew that there was not much time, compared to death, Zhao Xing obviously cared more about being able to do something for the Zhao Song royal family in his twilight years and leave a mark in history books that would be worshipped by future generations.

Therefore, Zhao Xing would rather offend Ye Qing before he died and drag him down than let Shi Miyuan. Han Tuozhou beautified in front of him, thus turning the court into a court for Shi and Han.

Of course, in Zhao Xing's opinion, there is no worst or best result. In the end, whether he is burying Ye Qing with him or Ye Qing with him, it is actually his ultimate goal.

Once Ye Qing died, the northern land would naturally return to the court. The Jin people are obviously unable to cross the Yellow River again. With the current prosperity of the Song court and the confidence of winning the northern land, Zhao Ling also believed that without Ye Qing's northern land, the Jin people could completely defend the Jin people's going south again.

"The Supreme Emperor means..." Duke Chong swallowed his saliva nervously, his face turned pale, his legs trembled involuntarily under the table, and he stuttered: "The Supreme Emperor wants... to... want Ye Qing's... life? What should I do in the north?"

King Qing's face also became a little stiff due to nervousness, and his heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out of his throat the next moment. He had thought about many possibilities, but never thought that his father actually wanted to... kill Ye Qing!

He really couldn't believe this crazy idea! How could this be possible? Can Song Ting really bear the consequences of killing Ye Qing?

"If not..." Because of the nervousness that King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chong Guo Zhao Shichun involuntarily showed involuntarily, Duke Rong Guo Zhao Shikui became nervous at the same time. Although he had never had any interaction with Ye Qing, he was clear about everything about Ye Qing.

The death of Emperor Gaozong, the death of King Xin, and the death of Tang Situi and others were almost inseparable from Ye Qing.

Princess Zhong Qing has now become Ye Qing's woman, and it is said... although it has not been confirmed yet, it is said that even Queen Li Fengniang and Ye Qing are unclear and unclear.

Such a hero who dared to go against Emperor Gaozong, dared to kill King Xin and rob the princess of Xin and be a woman, and even did not let the queen go, and firmly controlled the heroes in the north. It would be completely impossible to say that Zhao Shikui was not afraid or nervous when facing such a Ye Qing.

King Xin’s position in the court was more noble than the three of them who were sitting in it, but so what? Didn’t he die in Ye Qing’s hands in the end?

He couldn't help but touch his neck, dared to kill the people who had been killed, dared to disobey Emperor Gaozong's will, and secretly hid the people of the royal family that had been captured back then. In fact, these should be enough for Ye Qing to die for eight hundred times.

But now Ye Qing not only lives well, but also has more and more power in his hands, and his status and influence are also getting higher and higher!

However, when Zhao Shikui thought of Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou in Chang'an City, he suddenly felt a little quiet in his heart and continued:

"If you two thought, why did Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou, who were so festive and lively, did not return to Lin'an on the lively days, but instead ran to the north?"

"There is no airtight wall in the world. The Supreme Emperor... It has been known to Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan, so now they don't hesitate to go to Jinan and Lanzhou in person, and then arrive at Jingzhao Mansion at the same time. Why is it for?" Zhao Shikui looked at Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai, who were increasingly pale, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva and continued: "Once the north land returns to the court, the court will definitely not let others get involved in the affairs of the north land. All officials must send those officials loyal to the court, rather than officials who are in the same party as Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou."

"What does the priest mean?" After being nervous just now, Zhao Kai, the King of Qing, was silent for a long time. After hearing this, it was all the meaning of the father, but it was never the current priest, which was his priest, which made Zhao Kai feel a little suspicious again.

Duke Chong's eyes also lit up slightly, and his face was still filled with a hint of nervousness and fear. After glanced at King Qing Zhao Kai, he asked Zhao Shikui, "Yes, what does the emperor mean now?"

Ye Qing unknowingly became an unshakable behemoth. His prestige and influence in the north are now far beyond the imperial court. Whether it is Jinan Prefecture, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Jingzhao Prefecture, or even today's Huainan Road, Ye Qing's prestige and influence are even far superior to the imperial court.

"The Supreme Emperor means that once Ye Qing is killed, King Qing and Duke Chong will replace all Ye Qing's dispatches in the North. After all, you two have been following Ye Qing for the past few years, so your influence on the things in the North and in the North is no less than Ye Qing. Moreover, the reason why the North can stabilize in such a short time is entirely because of our royal family's contribution to appease the people is not the only one who Ye Qing." Zhao Shikui moved his lips, and then he said to himself as if he had not heard the questions from the two of them.

Obviously, Zhao Shikui's words at least revealed a message, that is, after Ye Qing escaped from the death of Guanshan battle, in order to fight against the court and save his life, he half-coerced and half-invited King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun to the north to fight against the court, and was also under the planning of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Sheng.

Now it seems that it is no wonder that Ye Qing was able to easily invite King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chong Guo Zhao Shichun to the North. After all, looking back, although Ye Qing also encountered some resistance to rejection at that time, if under the circumstances at that time, as long as the Supreme Emperor gave an order, the two of them were not allowed to leave Huainan East Road, then Ye Qing would have no choice.

Ye Qing had just escaped from Guanshan at that time. Although he hated the court for betraying him, no matter what, Ye Qing at that time did not have enough strength and did not dare to blatantly go against the court.

After all, the weak family in the north still needs to rely on the relief of the court to live, which is completely incomparable to the current situation of seizing half of the Xia Kingdom and the rich Hetao Three Routes.

"Does the Lord know the will of the father?" King Qing Zhao Kai asked again, chasing him reluctantly.

Duke Rong, Zhao Shikui, looked at King Qing with a embarrassed expression, and then turned to look at him. After his eyes turned, Zhao Shichun, who was nodding to him firmly, suddenly, Zhao Shikui felt an illusion: If he didn't answer well and couldn't grasp the priority, would King Qing and Duke Chong tell Ye Qing all the way to come to Jingzhao Prefecture!

Zhao Shikui, who bit his dry lips, was hesitant, and after a long time of silence, he endured the pressure of King Qing and Duke Chong, and said with difficulty: "Since Concubine Huang passed away, the Master of the Emperor has not been involved in state affairs anymore. Moreover... and now the Master of the Lord listens to the Queen almost everything. Even if the Emperor wants to summon the Master of the Lord in Gushan... it is difficult, and the Queen will obstruct it in every way. King Qing, Duke Chong, you also know that the Master of the Lord had complained about the Emperor of the Emperor back then, and the Emperor of the Emperor was unwilling to abdicate for a long time. The Master of the Lord was unable to inherit the throne, which became an unsolvable knot. Even now, the Master of the Lord has many complaints about the Emperor of the Emperor, so... the Master of the Lord is afraid that he is not aware of it."

King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chong Zhao Shichun, listening to Duke Rong's bitter words, his heart instantly became bitter and melancholy. The emperor wanted to succeed to the throne earlier, but the Supreme Emperor was reluctant to abdicate for a long time. In the end, it was because of the royal family Duke Yi, Zhao Ruyu, who was under tremendous pressure, took the lead in asking the Supreme Emperor to abdicate.

Although the Supreme Emperor finally abdicated and the emperor ascended the throne as he wished, the relationship between the father and son was completely broken. Even Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yi who was the first to support the emperor ascended the throne, had already died at Ye Qing's hands.
