Ye Qing was able to stand out in a complex situation and climb to today's high position step by step, which is naturally inseparable from his innate ability to predict the future. But it is also because of Zhao Sheng's indecisiveness, internal strife among officials in the court, and some luck that Ye Qing was able to reach such a high position step by step in the face of danger.

After listening to the Minister of War Qian Xiangzu said that he had never been sent to Ye Qing to help, Zhao Ling nodded silently.

Ye Qing took the initiative to talk to the Jin people, which was something that no one expected. Even Zhao Xing, Zhao Qing, did not expect that under the shortage of troops, he won consecutive battles in the north and recovered most of the lost territory. He had never even lost a battle, and even had never lost a battle, he took the initiative to talk to the Jin people with unexpected actions.

Originally, he expected that the Yanzhou war would drag Ye Qing on his back, and then when Ye Qing could not hold on, in order to save his life, he took the initiative to hand over the north to ask for help from the court, so that the government of the north could be fully returned to the court without any effort.

But Ye Qing did not do this. Instead, he negotiated peace with the Jin people to ensure that the entire Northland was still firmly in his hands. Therefore, Zhao Xing did not want to get rid of Ye Qing's murderous intention again.

"Now, Ye Qing talks about peace with the Jin people, everyone knows." Zhao Ling looked at the West Lake not far away and sighed helplessly: "The bend of the squat is to seek faith, and the hibernation of the dragon and the snake is to maintain one's body. It is to bend and stretch. The three of you think what should you do now?"

"Mr. Shi, Minister of Personnel and Left Prime Minister Han are now in Jingzhao Prefecture. In this case, there may be some news to the court after the New Year. Maybe Lord Han and Lord Shi can convince Ye Qing..." Qian Xiangzu said carefully.

As Qian Xiangzu said, a smile of disdain appeared on the corner of Zhao Xing's mouth, and he sighed slightly without saying a word. In this way, the three of them understood that the Supreme Emperor obviously did not trust Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou very much. In this way, it could be explained why after Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou went to Lanzhou one after another, Jinan Prefecture, the Supreme Emperor also sent a royal family member to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Liu Zheng lowered his head, but in fact he had known for a long time that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Xing was to completely bring the north to the hands of the court, rather than being controlled by a powerful minister.

As for Qian Xiangzu and Bi Zaihui, it was only then that I understood from the disdainful smile on the corner of Zhao Sheng's mouth that the Supreme Emperor's attention and "ambitions" for the North.

"Bi Zaiyu thought what should we do now?" Zhao Xing turned to Bi Zaiyu, who had never spoken before.

There is no definite question in this question. Everything depends on Bi Zaiyun himself to understand. What should the Supreme Emperor Zhao Xing mean by what the current situation is?

"I... think it's too late to reach now. Even if the court wants to control the administration of the northern region, it must summon Ye Qing to Lin'an first. After all, the mountains and roads in the northern region are high. If Ye Qing has refused to return to Lin'an on the grounds of war, the court will have no choice. Now that Ye Qing has no choice but to show weakness to the Jin Dynasty's peace talks, at least it means that Ye Qing's life in the northern region is not as powerful as it appears. Obviously, he has had no choice but to do so." Bi Zaiyu glanced at the Supreme Emperor who continued to listen, and then continued: "Now as long as we can know what Ye Qing's difficulties are and why the purpose of his peace talks with the Jin people is, then we can prescribe the right medicine to summon Ye Qing to let go of his guard and return to Lin'an... and then slowly plan for the administration of the northern region."

"Prepare the right medicine?" Zhao Xing read these four words with interest, and was also full of interest in Bi Zaiyu's proposal, which made his eyes lit up like a clear view of the clouds.

Over the years, he had always thought about how to use Ye Qing to bypass the court and privately discuss peace with the Jin people, and then summon Ye Qing back to Lin'an to ask for crimes. He never thought about it from another perspective, how to summon Ye Qing first

Go to Lin'an and then prescribe the right medicine.

"I wonder what advice Bi Qing has? Why don't you say it?" Bi Zaiyu was the one who was not favored by him the most, but was able to think about the problem in reverse. This gave Zhao Sheng a great surprise, which also made him feel that Bi Zaiyu was obviously not just one, but the Dali Temple Minister who could only accused Ye Qing of killing Zhao Ruyu, obviously had a more meticulous thought.

"When the Supreme Emperor, the Ministry of War did not send troops to the north, which can be regarded as the reason why Ye Qing had to negotiate peace with the Jin people because of insufficient troops. But... Obviously this is not the only reason. After all, if Ye Qing had not had enough troops in his hands, it would be impossible to seize the majority of the Banxia realm so smoothly, and it was even a bit unbelievable. Therefore, I speculate that Ye Qing and the Jin people had to make peace with each other, such as..."

Looking at Bi Zaiyu who was hesitating, Zhao Xing rarely asked anxiously: "What's the matter?"

"Reply to the Supreme Emperor, I am just guessing and I don't dare to confirm whether it is true, so please..."

"But it's okay." Zhao Xing urged again.

"I think it may be related to Lord Shi Miyuan, Shi, and the left prime minister Han Tuozhou. I guess that Ye Qing has never been defeated once in Yanzhou, and even in the offensive and defensive battle with the Jin people for more than half a year. Although it is very difficult to resist the enemy every time, no matter what, the Yanzhou front line has never been lost. Therefore, the reason why the Jin people agreed to propose peace with Ye Qing was obviously because they were unable to make progress in Yanzhou, so it was just right.

Taking advantage of Ye Qing's intention to discuss peace. The purpose of Ye Qing's peace talks was obviously because Lord Shi and Lord Han were in Jinan Prefecture and Lanzhou Prefecture, and once again arrived in Chang'an, which forced Ye Qing to discuss peace with the Jin people, and then turned around and dealt with Shi and Han." What Bi Zaiyu said was obviously reasonable and well-founded. Not only Zhao Sheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but also Lian Liuzheng, Qian Xiangzu also involuntarily nodded in default.

"As Lord Bi guessed, this is obviously..." Liu Zheng looked at Zhao Xing calmly, then looked at Bi Zaiyu again. Seeing that Zhao Xing did not stop him, he continued to say: "It is obvious that Ye Qing was afraid that the rear would be unstable, and that he would be taken advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits and win over officials in the north, so this is why."

"This may be just one of the reasons." This time, the person who spoke was Qian Xiangzu. He glanced at Zhao Xing silently. Qian Xiangzu said: "Return to the Supreme Emperor, since I was appointed as the Minister of War, although the Ministry of War has not been able to control the troops in the north, since Ye Qing asked the Ministry of War for help, Ye Qing not only faced the problem of insufficient troops in the north, but also the problem of insufficient officials in various fields, and even the problem of unsustainable food and grass."

Seeing Bi Zaiyu, Liu Zheng, including Zhao Xing, all pointed his eyes at him. Qian Xiangzu continued calmly: "When the Minister of Personnel, Lord Shi, had already... ordered Lord Zheng Qingzhi, the Minister of Revenue, to cut off the food and grass for the victims of the northern region, because Lord Shi discovered that many grains entering the northern region through Huainan Road did not enter the hands of the people, but were all filled with military rations by Ye Qing. Due to the flooding of yellow water in Shandong and other roads, although the people were homeless and homeless, the water control over the past few years has been achieved through the efforts of Xin Qiji and other officials.

Improvement of effectiveness. In Shandong and other roads, I dare not say that the people have surplus food at home, but it is no longer a problem to survive. Moreover, the Jin people have been under the jurisdiction of the Jin people for many years. After Ye Qing recovered all the roads in the north, the problems of officials from all walks of life are also an issue that cannot be underestimated. After the lost land was hurriedly recovered, Ye Qing could still appoint and remove those officials who had been officials in the Jin Dynasty. However, now the northern land has been in our Song court for many years. Ye Qing obviously could not allow officials who were sent in the Jin Dynasty to govern the prefectures of our Song court. Therefore, the shortage of officials is also a fatal weakness of the northern land."

Liu Zheng was thinking about sorting out Qian Xiangzu's words, but Bi Zaiyu was also wrinkled

He looked at the West Lake in a daze with his eyebrows, thinking deeply about what difficulties the North is facing now, but only the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ling looked at the West Lake with his eyes blankly.

Before Emperor Gaozong's death, Zhao Xing was already vaguely tired of the complicated court affairs. With Emperor Gaozong's death, it was better to say that Zhao Xing was heartbroken and unable to manage the government than to say that it was because of Emperor Gaozong's death that Zhao Xing finally gave him enough excuses to put the court affairs aside and ignore them.

Just like now, when he heard Bi Zaiyu's long analysis, he still had some energy to think about it, but when Qian Xiangzu finished speaking, Zhao Xing suddenly felt a big headache again.

Especially the various difficulties in the North, floods, disaster victims, shortage of clothes and food, and lack of officials, insufficient troops, etc., it was like scenes pouring into Zhao Xing's mind, and Zhao Xing became uninterested in the affairs of the North again.

Obviously, Zhao Xing only saw the stability of the North at the moment, and did not expect how all the difficulties that Beidi had when it first returned were solved by Ye Qing one by one. Now, he doesn't have to consider these things, and he doesn't want to listen to these things that make him headache.

Now, Zhao Xing had only one purpose in his mind, how to make Ye Qing return to Lin'an willingly and then ask for guilt and enter Dali Temple.

His eyes swept over the three people, Qian Xiangzu, and Bi Zaiyu said four words at the same time: A strategy of being gentle.

Liu Zheng looked at the two of them in surprise, because for a moment, he had not yet balanced the pros and cons of the court and the pros and cons of Ye Qing.

"It is naturally not difficult to summon Lord Shi, Lord Han's return to Lin'an. The difficulty is how to summon Ye Qing back to Lin'an and how can he be willing to return to Lin'an? I think that as long as the court is willing to help Ye Qing solve the difficulties facing the north, even if Ye Qing was still wary of the court, his means would obviously not be too intense. In this way, as long as he can return to Lin'an, he would obviously have to do more. No matter what, it would be much better than him hiding in the north and protecting many soldiers." Qian Xiangzu said while thinking deeply.

"Will Ye Qing bring people back when he returns to Lin'an? Don't forget that the last time he returned to Lin'an, he brought 3,000 elite soldiers. Donghua Gate was full of soldiers twice, but they were all inseparable from Ye Qing. Moreover, when he returned to Lin'an the last time, Ye Qing did not know anyone that he would bring so many soldiers to Lin'an. But overnight, his soldiers were full of soldiers and horses in the imperial camp outside Lin'an City." Liu Zheng frowned, and his tone seemed a little tough.

"But Lord Liu, don't forget, why did Ye Qing do this last time? He survived the death of Guanshan Battle. Lord Liu, if it were you, you would have returned to Lin'an without bringing troops..." Qian Xiangzu retorted coldly.

"It's better not to mention the past. I believe Ye Qing is not a petty person." Zhao Ling waved her hand and interrupted the confrontation between Liu Zheng and Qian Xiangzu with guilt.

Whether it is Liu Zheng or Qian Xiangzu, what he said is actually right. In the final analysis, it was the court that underestimated Ye Qing. Otherwise, if Ye Qing died in Guanshan that time, there would not be these headaches now.

To put it bluntly, this is the court and Liu Zheng, including him, Zhao Sheng, who was blamed by himself. If the Guanshan incident had not completely angered Ye Qing, I believe that Ye Qing would not have pleaded with him after returning to Lin'an for the last time, even if he, Zhao Sheng, pleaded with him, Ye Qing would have been solemnly poisoned Zhao Ruyu in the end.

So in the final analysis, when Ye Qing reached this point today, Zhao Ling and the court had to bear great responsibility. After all, Zhao Ruyu's death occurred on the night after Zhao Ling failed to assassinate Ye Qing.
