The West Lake under the night is obviously more beautiful. Under the reflection of the lights that symbolize prosperity and prosperity, the West Lake at this time gives people a sense of tranquility and peace. The faint candlelights on the lonely mountain and the stars in the night sky are intertwined, exuding a stream of mystery and the unique majesty of the royal family.

Zhao Xing's ears were still echoing Zhong Qing's words and Liu Zheng's bitter advice, especially when Zhong Qing told him, Zhao Xing felt a bang in his mind, and there was a blank moment, and only the word "rebellion" was echoing.

In the Chonghua Palace in Gushan, under the dim lights, the palace maids and eunuchs seemed particularly cautious in every move, and they tried their best not to make any noise, fearing that they would disturb the emperor who had never seen such a listless emperor for a long time.

In the somewhat dead hall, Zhao Feng stared blankly at the candlelight in front of him. Even now, he still couldn't believe that Ye Qing was going to set up a Protectorate in the North.

At the end of January of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Zhao Xing finally made up his mind to summon Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou back to Lin'an. During the Chinese New Year, he also met the current emperor who had not seen for a long time as he wished.

Three major prophets were established in the north, and the major prophets were led by King Jia Zhao Kuo from afar. At the same time, they offered the title of officials. Ye Qing personally brought back to Lin'an to submit to the emperor's imperial court.

The court agreed to almost all Ye Qing's request, even including that he could continue to resettle things in the northern region, without having to return to Lin'an with Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou.

Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, and Duke Rong were all frowning, but they had their own thoughts. Ye Qing on the opposite side looked leisurely and was brewing tea leisurely and comfortably, making exclamations from time to time, and the three of them looked so angry that they looked so angry that they were tickling.

The court's kindness exceeded Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou's expectations. They originally thought that the court would never delegate power like this in the matter of officials, but the court actually agreed to Ye Qing's request for Kai Enke after only half a month of consideration.

However, the court asked Ye Qing to return to Lin'an with his official list to submit a letter to the emperor to the imperial court, which also made Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou feel a faint sense of conspiracy.

The two believed that Ye Qing would never be unaware of anything. Even if the court had released the greatest kindness to him now, the gap between Ye Qing and the court would obviously not be able to resolve the past so quickly.

Ye Qing's toughness and arbitrary in the north were completely beyond Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou's expectations. Even when it comes to resetting the Protectorate's Mansion, Ye Qing's attitude firmly made Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou a little doubt whether Ye Qing would rebel against the court in the next step.

Of course, for Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou, this trip to the north cannot be said to be completely rewarding. The north is obviously not a solid piece in the absolute sense. Although the officials in several important cities, such as Jinan, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Chang'an and other prefectures, Ye Qing has completely controlled them, but in some less conspicuous and insignificant prefectures, both Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou have gained a small gain.

Therefore, although this trip to the north was not a great reward for the two of them, it was worth it.

Of course, there are naturally regrets. Whether it is Xin Qiji or Yu Yunwen, they were originally the targets they wanted to win over, but no matter what strategy they used to win over and divide the relationship between them and Ye Qing, they did not achieve the ideal effect.

Especially Shi Miyuan, when he looked at Ye Qing with a smug smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably and guilty.

With the sound of footsteps coming from outside, Jia She stood at the door reporting Ye Qing. Xin Qiji came from Jinan Prefecture this time and brought him a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Listening to Jia She's words at the door, Shi Miyuan stood up suddenly, looking at the familiar box being carried in the yard at this moment, and looking at Ye Qing, who was even more proud of her face, Shi Miyuan couldn't help feeling a pain!

"Ye Qing, you... you are such a villain!" Shi Miyuan looked embarrassed and angry, and raised his fat finger to point at Ye Qing and said angrily.

"Mr. Shi is really polite. If you give such a generous gift, then Ye will be disrespectful." Ye Qing smiled very proudly, and Shi Miyuan's face became increasingly ugly.

There was a hint of sneer on the corner of Han Tuozhou's mouth. How could he not see the current situation? Shi Miyuan was cheated by Ye Qing again this time!

However, Zhao Shikui, Duke Rong, was holding a teacup and didn't know what to do. Seeing Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan spread their secret fights on the table, an inexplicable guilty feeling suddenly arose in his heart, as if he was nakedly being looked at by Ye Qing at this moment.

Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing's increasingly hateful face and said a few good things in a row, then shook his sleeves and left the Chang'an Yamen first.

Seeing Jia She walk into the yard, he looked at the familiar box angrily, kicked the box a few times with anger, and looked back at Ye Qing and others in the room who were unmoved, and sneered: "Ye Qing, okay, Shi recognizes it this time, but don't be too happy too early. This is just the beginning, let's take a look!"

"Ye is here to stay." Ye Qing, who looked free, said loudly in the hall.

As Shi Miyuan left the yamen office, Ye Qing waved his hand at Jia She who had been standing at the door, signaling to carry down the boxes that Xin Qiji had already sent.

"It seems that Lord Ye will come back to Lin'an... but you have to be careful. Shi Miyuan has always been narrow-minded and will retaliate. This person is also sinister and cunning. When Lord Ye returns to Lin'an, he will have to be careful." Han Tuozhou said while drinking tea.

In the hall of the four, with Shi Miyuan leaving, it turned into three people. Everyone came here today to say goodbye to Ye Qing and return to Lin'an. At this time, since Han Tuozhou had spoken, Zhao Shikui, Duke Rongguo, naturally needed to continue to sit there and continue to bear the verbal confrontation between the three powerful ministers in the court.

Zhao Shikui, who was restless, held a teacup that had been already cold. He could have waited outside the hall, waiting for Shi Miyuan, and Han Tuozhou to say goodbye to Ye Qing respectively, and then come in and say goodbye by himself, so he does not need to bear this invisible tension and pressure.

But Ye Qing obviously did not intend to do it. From the beginning, he invited the three of them to the hall together, and in front of the three of them, he also showed the imperial court's decree about Kaienke and the ability to return to Lin'an to report later.

"What does Lord Han mean?" Ye Qing asked lightly.

"Shi Miyuan is not the same as before. Lord Ye, Shi Miyuan is no longer the Shi Miyuan who can only endure it. Han just advises you that you may not be too peaceful to go back to Lin'an this time." Han Tuozhou was tempted.

"Then I would like to thank Lord Han for reminding me. Since Ye was not afraid of him back then, would he still be afraid of him now?" Ye Qing looked at Han Tuozhou, and the meaning beyond his words was that he gently closed the door that Han Tuozhou wanted to try to knock on.

Although Zhao Shikui was a little absent-minded, he could also hear that the words of the two were obviously not as simple as talking on the surface, especially the expressions on their faces seemed to reveal more information than their words.

"Since that's the case, it's Han's meddling in other people's business. But when it comes to meddling in other people's business, Han suddenly remembered that before leaving Chang'an, there was another thing that had been unresolved. You and I were ministers of the Song Dynasty, so we should act according to the law. A few days ago, Sima Jian, the commander of the Anfeng Army who was originally guarding Dasan Pass..." Han Tuozhou said with a deeper and stronger sneer.

"Ye has informed the Ministry of War, not to mention... When Sima Jian sent troops to help Lanzhou, the Privy Council had the right to dispatch troops and generals. Everything was the order of Ye when he was still appointed as the Privy Councilor, and it was not against the will of the court." Ye Qing took all the responsibility of Sima Jian's sending troops to help Yu Yunwen and others attack Lanzhou on himself.

"Ye Qing, do you know this is a transcendence? Even if you were the Privy Councilor at that time, don't forget that Han was the left prime minister. The imperial court sent all kinds of troops, but you were definitely not a Privy Councilor who could send him. What's more... When Sima Jian led the Anfeng Army to Lanzhou, the Privy Council's dispatch power had already exchanged for the Ministry of War in almost 100% of the time. Now your words are hard to stand firm." Han Tuozhou's expression turned cold, and his deep eye sockets and thin face gave people a gloomy feeling at this moment.

Ye Qing was not scared by Han Tuozhou's power, but Zhao Shikui next to him, holding the teacup, had already begun to tremble slightly nervously.

Just like two masters fighting in front of him, although it would not affect him, the sharp force of swords and swords made Zhao Shikui feel invisible huge pressure and rushed towards him.

As if he was placed on a oil pan, Zhao Shikui's feelings at this moment were no longer known to persuade the two powerful ministers, and he did not have the courage to avoid the huge pressure of the two of them being nervous. He was uneasy and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in immediately, and wait until the storm between them subsided, and then crawl out by himself.

"In this way, Lord Ye is sure that the Ministry of War is informed that Sima Jian went out of the Dasan Pass privately?" Han Tuozhou asked aggressively.

Originally, he wanted to try to join forces with Ye Qing in the court again, and then take advantage of Ye Qing's opportunity to return to Lin'an to defeat Shi Miyuan first. In this way, if he lacks a strong enemy in the court, he can use the current dissatisfaction with Ye Qing in Lin'an, and he can use the court and the Supreme Emperor's dissatisfaction with Ye Qing now to get rid of Ye Qing in Lin'an.

Han Tuozhou made a good plan. He first joined forces with Ye Qing to remove Shi Miyuan from the court, and then removed Ye Qing, which eventually made him cover the sky with only one hand in the court.

But Ye Qing seemed to know what he was thinking. From the first tentative words of his first sentence, he slowly closed the door to join forces and no longer gave him any chance.

So this forced Han Tuozhou to bring out the matter of Sima Jian leading the Anfeng army to assist Lanzhou to force Ye Qing to submit.

And he really couldn't figure it out. Since Ye Qing had turned against Shi Miyuan in front of him and Duke Rong, Shi Miyuan also spoke. When he returned to Lin'an, he would inevitably have to make things difficult for him. Then Ye Qing should choose to cooperate with him at this time, but why... he is unwilling?
