Zhao Xing summoned his ministers who trusted him and had a strong status in the court to discuss matters at Gushan, but in the end they ended up fruitless.

Whether it was Liu Zheng, Qian Xiangzu or Bi Zaiyu's proposal, he was quite moved, but Zhao Xing, who had always been indecisive and looked at the front, fell into trouble again.

He was very interested in the gentle strategy of Qian Xiangzu and the other two: to release a kind advice to Ye Qing, but he was unwilling to recall Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou who were in Chang'an, the north at that time.

Because he wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, he wanted to see Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou and Ye Qing fighting to the death, and then the court came forward to clean up the mess.

Zhao Xing had a good idea, but it was obviously a bit too pretentious. Whether it was Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, and Ye Qing, being able to have the prestige and status in the court today is enough to show that none of the three people is a good person, and none of them will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhao Xing was obviously a bit too whimsical when he wanted to benefit from the open and secret struggles of the three.

Liu Zheng, Qian Xiangzu, Bi Zaiyu, all of them looked a little regretful, and shook their heads and sighed.

Even though Liu Zheng and Qian Xiangzu were still facing each other, they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes when they looked at each other.

"Master Liu..." Qian Xiangzu was in front of Gushan Gate, watching Liu as he was about to get on the carriage, and finally spoke out.

Seeing Liu turned around in front of the carriage and looked at him, Qian Xiangzu bowed and said, "Master Liu, can you talk with me?"

Liu Zhengwang ignored the words of the two of them. Instead, Bi Zaiyu, who got on the carriage, paused slightly and agreed to Qian Xiangzu's request.

The carriage followed the two of them through the broken bridge. They looked at the West Lake where singing and dancing, or the lonely mountain on the other side, like a paradise.

"I wonder what happened to Lord Qian?" Liu Zheng frowned slightly.

"The officials thought... I should have the responsibility to persuade the emperor... I am the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Now the emperor ignores the state's affairs and the queen is arbitrary. If the emperor is so indecisive, the officials are afraid that if this continues, the chaos in the north will become more and more uncontrollable." Qian Xiangzu's tone was quite helpless, and he sighed to the sky: "The fifth year after the New Year is the fifth year of Shaoxi. Ye Qing has been operating the north for too long. The officials think that this matter should not be delayed."

Liu Zheng stopped and sighed with great worries: "Now Ye Qing is in the north, and with the gap between him and the court after the Guanshan battle, it is indeed not easy to get Ye Qing back to Lin'an. The court has given him a good intention to lure him back to Lin'an with kindness. But... Lord Qian has thought that if there is no consequence, can you and I, as ministers, take this responsibility?"

"Mr. Liu said this... the official didn't quite understand." Qian Xiangzu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

Liu Zheng lowered his head and smiled, then looked at Qian Xiangzu and said, "Mr. Qian only saw that the court showed goodwill to Ye Qing, so he could tempt him to return to Lin'an. But... how to grasp the "goodwill" of the court? Yes, there are many problems in the north now, and Ye Qing is overwhelmed. With Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou restrained Ye Qing in the north again. Ye Qing must be quite restrained now. Once the court urgently summoned Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou returned to Lin'an and showed goodwill to the north, it would be suspected of being accused of being a tiger. Unless... the court is confident enough to keep Ye Qing in Lin'an, otherwise, this strategy seems not the best now."

Qian Xiangzu nodded clearly: "Master Liu was afraid that the court's kindness would help Ye Qing and help him solve many problems in the north, but he could not punish Ye Qing in Lin'an and imprison him. Instead, he finally made Ye Qing's power in the north more stable and huge?"

"Yes, Liu did have this kind of concern in his heart, so I guess it was difficult for the Supreme Emperor to make a decision for the time being, and I'm afraid it was because of this concern." Liu Zheng looked ahead helplessly. The carriage that Bi Zaihui had disappeared without a trace, while another luxurious carriage slowly drove towards them.

Looking back at Qian Xiangzu, who was a little dissatisfied, Liu Zheng smiled a little melancholy and further explained: "Although Lord Qian and Ye Qing both came from the Prince's Mansion, Lord Qian may not be very aware of Ye Qing's cunning and cunning, as well as his cruelty and courage. In the battle of Guanshan, Liu had been on the order of Duke Yi of Yi, Zhao Ruyu, for this. Xia, Jin and my Song Dynasty court all thought that Ye Qing would inevitably be doomed in the face of the three sides' siege, and Guanshan would definitely be his burial place. But in the end... Ye Qing was not only intact.

The poor escaped from Guanshan, and in just two years, he first seized Guanshan, the gateway of Xia Kingdom, and the three Hetao routes. When he returned to Lin'an, he poisoned Duke Zhao Ruyu unscrupulously. He originally thought that his revenge would end here, but what if he returned to the north again? Xia Kingdom was divided by him and the Mongols, and the Jin people had no choice but to face Ye Qing who was conquering Xia, and it was difficult to make a breakthrough. Therefore... it is not as simple as tempting Chang'an for such a hero who has been entrenched in the north for many years. I am afraid that it will take a long-term plan to do so."

Qian Xiangzu nodded clearly. It was obvious that it was not only the Supreme Emperor, but even Liu Zheng was so scared by Ye Qing's series of revenge methods in the past two years.

Especially Liu Zheng, when Ye Qing returned to Lin'an with great momentum and did not hide his revenge, Liu Zheng thought he was about to die under Ye Qing's revenge. After all, even the royal family member Zhao Ruyu could not escape Ye Qing's revenge. He was just a Minister of War who had no power at the time. If Ye Qing wanted to revenge him, it would never be more difficult than dealing with Zhao Ruyu.

But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations. Ye Qing only revenges Zhao Ruyu, warned Gushan Supreme Emperor, and then returned to the north with a swagger, launching a catastrophic revenge against the Xia people.

So in Liu Zheng's opinion, if you want to punish Ye Qing, who can almost be rampant in all the territory of the Song court, is definitely not as simple as seducing Lin'an.

Almost without thinking, it was expected that Ye Qing, who now entrenched in the north like a hero, would inevitably bring back thousands of elite soldiers to Lin'an to protect his vigor. He would never return to Lin'an with only two hundred personal guards like before.

And can the troops around Lin'an be left with Ye Qing, who brought thousands of elite troops back to Lin'an? Obviously, this is completely impossible.

In the battle of Guanshan, the Xia people and the 50,000 elite soldiers were left, but Ye Qing, who only had 5,000 people. If Ye Qing returned to Lin'an this time and brought tens of thousands of troops back to Lin'an, could the court make up his mind to mobilize all armies to encircle and suppress the hero Ye Qing in Lin'an? The answer is obviously no.

If you fight Ye Qing in Lin'an, the consequences will probably be even more serious, even so serious that even the court cannot bear the serious consequences.

Once the court and Ye Qing raise an internal strife, the entire Song Dynasty may be in a state of fragmentation, and the northern region will also support Ye Qing as the king. Even Ye Qing can raise his arms in Lin'an, and the northern region will support King Qing as the emperor to compete with the imperial court.

This is obviously something that the court does not want to see, and the court does not want to get to this point. After all, except for Ye Qing, the price paid is too great, so big that the court cannot bear it!

The carriage was getting closer and closer to Liu Zheng and Qian Xiangzu. The ornaments on the outside of the carriage and the driver were able to see clearly. Liu Zheng and Qian Xiangzu, who were originally walking in the middle of the road, were frowned involuntarily, and then lowered their heads and avoided both sides inadvertently.

The carriages behind the two were moving much faster than Liu Zheng. Qian Xiangzu and the other two were much faster. When they saw the carriages on the opposite side, they hurried to one side of the road, and even the outermost wheels were almost falling into the ditches on the side of the road. The coachman even grabbed the shaft of the carriage tightly and pulled the reins tightly, for fear that his carriage would disturb the carriage that was about to pass by, and thus cause unnecessary trouble for his master.

"The carriage of Ye's mansion." Qian Xiangzu snorted coldly.

Liu Zheng looked ahead without saying a word. Now in Lin'an, except for the coachman in Ye's mansion, who can dress up like a five-person and six-person coachman, no one's coachman can drive a high-ranking superiority like the coachman in Ye's mansion.

"Are you just coming out of Gushan?" The coachman didn't treat himself as a coachman at all, as if he was with him and Qian Xiangzu, and greeted him very enthusiastically and naturally.

Qian Xiangzu snorted coldly at the nostrils, then slowly turned his head to look at West Lake to express his disdain to say hello to a coachman.

Liu Zhengze was full of smiles, as if he had met an acquaintance: "Yes, Liu had just met the Supreme Emperor."

Tao Qian couldn't go down, and was still sitting on the shaft of the car with a long whip in his hand. No matter what, it was impossible to tell that he was just a coachman in the Ye Mansion, but he was more like the master of the Ye Mansion.

"Has the Supreme Emperor not taken a nap yet? My wife is still afraid that it will disturb the Supreme Emperor when she goes over." Tao Qian turned his head and pointed to the carriage, obviously telling the two that they had also entered Gushan to meet the Supreme Emperor.

"When Mrs. Ye was in the palace of Xin, she was deeply loved by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Now she is Mrs. Ye in the palace. When she goes to see her, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are probably too happy." Qian Xiangzu looked arrogant, with a strong sarcasm to Zhong Qing in his tone, and his eyes were still looking at the West Lake, and he said with some disdain.

"Qian Xiangzu, I dare to bully the orphan and widowed mother of my Ye family when you see you. If my master was in the carriage, would you still dare to speak like this?" Tao Qian curled his lips disdainfully, and pointed at Qian Xiangzu's nose and sneered.

"Hmph." Qian Xiangzu slapped the whip in front of him with one hand, then turned around and headed towards his carriage.

"Sir Qian stayed." Zhong Qing in the carriage lifted the curtain on one side, first smiled at Liu Zheng, and then said to Qian Xiangzu's back: "Zhong Qing married into the Ye Mansion, which means the Empress Dowager. If Mr. Qian is dissatisfied with Zhong Qing marrying into the Ye Mansion, you can ask the Empress Dowager when you pay a visit to the Emperor today."

"I hope Mrs. Ye will forgive me. Just now, Lord Qian and Liu had some dispute over the government affairs in the court, so they just spoke more heavily. I hope Mrs. Ye will not be surprised." Liu Zheng looked at Qian Xiangzu's back, who was silent, and sighed in his heart, and had to smooth things over.

Zhong Qing is still so beautiful that it makes people dare not look directly at it. After a smile, he suddenly said: "Zhong Qing went there this time not to pay homage to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but to report to the Emperor with important matters."

"I won't bother you..." Liu Zheng said again.

"Sir, Lord Qian doesn't want to know what the important thing is. Do you have to report to the Supreme Emperor so quickly?" Zhong Qing asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Liu Zheng to ask, when Qian Xiangzu turned around and looked over, he said lightly: "Zhong Qing's husband, Ye Qing, who is in the north, plans to reset the three major prophets in Anxi, Anbei and Andong in the north after the New Year."

"What? This...this is the truth?" Liu Zheng stuttered in disbelief like a bolt from the blue.

Qian Xiangzu had become ashamed, as if struck by lightning. He didn't know what to say for a long time. Even the carriage of the Ye Mansion had left the two of them, and the two had not yet come to their senses from the three major protectors.

After a while, the carriage of Ye’s mansion had already entered the gate of Gushan Mountain. Liu Zheng and Qian Xiangzu slowly came to their senses.

Liu Zheng looked at Qian Xiangzu, who was also incredible, and murmured: "Ye Qing is going to rebel? This is to completely control the Northland in his own hands. This is... Is this revenge on Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou want to interfere in the things in the Northland?"

"We must report to the Supreme Emperor and summon Lord Shi and Lord Han back to Lin'an immediately. Otherwise, it will only make the ignorant think that the matter of establishing the Protectorate in the north has been approved by Lord Shi and Lord Han who are sufficient to represent the court. It will make people think that this is the action of the court, not his opinion of Ye Qing." Qian Xiangzu looked at Liu Zheng and said in horror.

"You still need to report this matter to the emperor." Liu Zheng forced himself to calm down from the shocked news just now. He needed to judge the current situation, the pros and cons of the court, and how to make the quickest decision.

At this time, whether it was Liu Zheng or Qian Xiangzu, in desperation, he had no intention of thinking about why Zhong Qing told them what they meant.

Since Qian Xiangzu came from the Prince's Mansion, in Liu Zheng's opinion, he would have a greater confidence in returning to Lin'an to meet the emperor. If it were someone else, he would probably only be able to see the current queen, and it would be difficult to see the current emperor who was unintentional to political affairs.
