Just like in the north, it was almost unconsciously formed. In Zhao Shicheng's mansion, whether it was eating or using tea in the front hall again, Ye Qing sat in the main seat, with King Qing and Duke Chong on the left and right, and Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng were sitting opposite him.

From the beginning, Zhao Shicheng and his wife naturally took the order of their seats mainly composed of Ye Qing, and they were slightly surprised, but they did not make any statement.

But no matter what, Zhao Shicheng and his wife still vaguely saw Ye Qing's status and power in the northern part from the repeated seating orders. Otherwise, King Qing and Duke Chong would not have been so natural.

The tea was placed on the table again. When Tang Wan got up and wanted to leave, she was also stopped by Ye Qing.

After all, Ye Qing knew very well that even if he avoided Tang Wan in this matter, Zhao Shicheng would definitely learn from Tang Wan in a simplified manner after he left, and then solicit Tang Wan's opinions. So it would be better to let Tang Wan participate directly, which could also be considered as giving Zhao Shicheng some pressure.

"The emperor has been sick for many years, and the court will only participate a few times within a month. After all, the empress is a bit unjust and unfair to assist in the government. In the harem, there was a censor who had already impeached the matter. The emperor and the censors sent memorials to impeach. The emperor left. Although the crown prince was still young, now... our court cannot do anything to the empress in the affairs of the government. Isn't this a joke for my Song Dynasty court as the Liao Dynasty was the same as that in the past. Ye came today to discuss with King Qing and Prince Xin'an, whether... can imitate Zhao Ruyu of the Duke of Yi in the past." Ye Qing began to get straight to the point and said.

He rarely drinks on weekdays, and today he attended the banquet between Zhao Shicheng and his wife, and did not drink as usual, so this made King Qing and others have to use tea instead of wine during the meal.

Listening to Ye Qing's words, naturally no one would suspect that Ye Qing was talking about alcohol, but this issue related to the royal family still made King Qing, Duke Chong, and Prince Xin'an feel the sudden increase in pressure on his body.

As a foreign minister, Ye Qing could naturally speak freely behind closed doors, but as a royal family, he obviously had much more concerns about the issue of royal abdication and succession to the throne than Ye Qing.

So after Ye Qing finished speaking, the hall became a little silent. Even Tang Wan subconsciously grabbed her sleeves, and she didn't know how to take Ye Qing's words.

"Of course, shortly after the Emperor passed away, he mentioned the matter of persuading the emperor to abdicate the emperor, which was somewhat inappropriate. But as the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor ignores the government affairs. I believe that whether it is our foreign ministers or all the royal families, they all see it and worry in their hearts. What's more, there are still people in the court who form cliques for personal gain and want to imitate the rebel Han Tuozhou to decide the court by himself. In this way, naturally, no one can guarantee that that person will not become the second Han Tuozhou. Ye was a little slight in the court, and Ye was from a military general, so he was naturally not as familiar with the affairs of the court as other officials. Moreover, King Qing and Duke Chong knew that the north seemed stable at the moment, but in fact, whether it was the Jin people or the Mongols, they were still eyeing the territory of our Song Dynasty." Ye Qing's voice was calm and powerful, and his eyes slowly swept over the four people present as he spoke.

"Although Ye has no talent for the Constant Qiankun, even though he has been lucky enough to win fame in recent years, Ye did not dare to be proud of himself, and knew that he was not a pillar of governing the country and ensuring national stability. He did not dare to use some of the achievements of the Northern Expedition to seek a position in the court. In his early years, he decided to stop the Jin people from going south and disturb the stability of the country and the country of the Song Dynasty. Now he still hears his words. Ye did not dare to forget his original oath and guard the border for our Song Dynasty court." Ye Qing revealed his thoughts without any hidden harmony, so that whether it was King Qing or others, he realized that he was not going to do the same as Zhao Ruyu back then, to persuade the priest to abdicate the throne to plan for the court.

Following Ye Qing's words, King Qing and Duke Chong looked at Ye Qing with a calm expression in surprise. Even Zhao Shicheng and his wife opposite him also cast a look of surprise and shock.

Yes, when Ye Qing first mentioned the incident of advising the emperor to abdicate, whether it was Zhao Shicheng and his wife, King Qing and Duke Chong, the first reaction in his mind was that Ye Qing's purpose was to follow Zhao Ruyu's path to promotion and gain a foothold in the court.

So at this moment, after hearing that Ye Qing had no intention of gaining a foothold in the court, the reactions of the four people naturally became a little unbelievable.

"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye really doesn't plan to take this opportunity..." Zhao Shicheng couldn't help but ask in disbelief.

The expressions between King Qing and Duke Chong became much easier than before, and he let out a long sigh. In their opinion, as long as Ye Qing had no intention of the court, no matter what, the orthodox court and the majesty of the royal family could finally be barely preserved.

After all, King Qing and Duke Chong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. Although they supported and even agreed with Ye Qing's various actions of disobeying the court in the north, no matter what, they were the Zhao Song royal family after all. They would never want to see Ye Qing standing in the court and then act... The actions of the emperor commanding the princes, thus making the royal family

In the Song Dynasty, it was like a puppet.

The north has become Ye Qing's own territory. Although Ye Qing is now trying his best to ease his relationship with the court and use various methods to prove that the north is the territory of the Song court controlled by the court.

But no matter what, King Qing and Duke Chong believed that even after Ye Qing established himself in the court, it would be difficult for the northern region to escape from Ye Qing's personal control in a short time. Xin Qiji, Yu Yunwen, Liu Keshi and others were all Ye Qing's confidants, and now they have absolute power in the northern region.

Once Ye Qing established himself in the court, he would probably be able to justify the name of the North to Ye Qing in a few years. At that time, as long as Ye Qing was interested, it would be impossible to depose Zhao Song and climb up to the top by himself.

So emotionally, King Qing and Duke Chong prefer Ye Qing to return to the north. Even if Ye Qing let the north end up with the surname Ye, at least Zhao Song could still maintain the territory south of the Yangtze River, so that the entire Song court royal family would not be placed under Ye Qing's power.

Ye Qing looked at Tang Wan, who was secretly pulling the sleeves of the King of Xin'an, and shook his head casually, "Ye knew that his ability was limited, so how could he dare to live in the court and mislead the country and the people? Ye was just a martial artist, and guarding the border should be Ye's mission, not standing above the court. So how dare Ye live up to the favor of Emperor Gaozong and the Supreme Emperor to Ye? But now, although Ye is a martial artist, he should not worry about the affairs of the court, but the emperor ignored the government for many years. After all, the queen's administration was unreasonable. If it were King Qing, the prince could persuade the prince to abdicate the throne, and the prince and the queen assisted him from the side, and Ye could return to the north without any worries to guard the government."

This was a transaction between Ye Qing and their royal family. After Ye Qing finished speaking, King Qing, Duke Chongguo and Prince Xin'an instantly emerged in his mind.

"While Duke Yi was a man's force, he was unable to do without the court's advice. Now I can advise him, but I am alone, saying that he is a little bit light and a little bit..." King Qing took the lead in expressing his opinion. Although he still had some concerns in his heart, at least, it would be better for their royal family to stay away from the court and defend the north.

Shi Miyuan has a lot of prestige than the court, which is a fact, but in the eyes of King Qing and others, it is obvious that Shi Miyuan's arbitrary court is incomparable to Ye Qing's arbitrary court. After all, Shi Miyuan only has silver in his eyes, and Ye Qing's... no one knows how great his ambition is.

Therefore, if Ye Qing was in the court and with Ye Qing's strength and the power of the North, he could overthrow Shi Miyuan's party members in the court in less than a few years, and thus rule the court by arbitrarily. Such a harm would obviously be much more harmful to the royal family than Shi Miyuan who was only greedy for money.

Of course, the reason why King Qing was the first to stand up for it was naturally a kind of loyalty to the royal family. After all, the Supreme Emperor intended to let his son inherit the throne of the Song Dynasty, so no matter which position King Qing was on at this time, it was necessary to stand up and express his position first.

"I believe Lord Liu Zhengliu would have this intention. After all, he is my right prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He will be more clear than the pros and cons of government affairs in the court." Ye Qing interrupted King Qing's hesitant words and gave him a reassurance.

"If this is the case, I am willing to give it a try." After King Qing unconsciously, with his vague statement and his eagerness to clear his son's unintentional royal position, he was forced to a death sank by Ye Qing's words, which made him have to agree to Ye Qing's request and persuade the emperor to abdicate.

This made several people in the hall look involuntarily on Zhao Shicheng and his wife.

Ye Qing did not mention Duke Chong, but only mentioned King Qing and Prince Xin'an. Therefore, Duke Chong was so happy that he didn't speak at this time, just sat quietly aside and listened.

Zhao Shicheng looked at Ye Qing, King Qing, and Duke Chong, and seemed a little panicked, and involuntarily turned his eyes to Tang Wan, and even Tang Wan wanted to stop him, it was too late.

He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. The reason why Ye Qing did not let himself leave, a woman, was that he had already realized that the prince's mansion could be the majority of the ruler, was that he had made up his mind and did not give them time to discuss, think about it, and weigh the pros and cons.

"The prince is just..." Tang Wan had to speak, but looking at Ye Qing's deep and seemingly able to see through everything, Tang Wan's words that were trying to shirk responsibility were swallowed back in an instant.

Ye Qing's eyes at her were not sharp, and even the corners of his mouth still had his signature easy-going smile, but his deep and seemingly able to see through everything seemed to be able to see all her thoughts in Tang Wan's eyes. Any shirkable words seemed a little pale and deceiving themselves under those eyes.

"The prince is still appointed as the sender of Zongzheng Temple. Over the years, he respects the law of keeping himself alone and not involving the court or

The affairs of the royal family, but…” Ye Qing slowly spoke and continued: “But now it is not the past, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor has illnesses and will not heal for many years. Although the prince is young, if there is an emperor, the queen will definitely be better than the queen who assists the government, right? Besides, the prince should look forward now. The royal family is at a time of worry, and the prince should shoulder the responsibility of being a royal family.”

Ye Qing's words afterwards were a bit ambiguous, giving people a tacit feeling. Naturally, it felt different when listening to Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng's ears, and they could even be understood at will.

Ye Qing did not say that the couple waited in the Ye Mansion for the whole night that night, just to warn Ye Qing, which was also a way to preserve a hint of face for Zhao Shicheng and Duke Chong.

So at this time, when they heard Ye Qing say this, the couple was more or less relieved, but if they were asked to do things about the Zhao Song royal family, they would still be a little hesitant and difficult to make a decision.

Duke Zhao Shichun of Chongguo looked at Zhao Shicheng and his wife who were still hesitant, and then looked at a few words and was easily convinced by Ye Qing. At this moment, he had just realized that he was easily forced to stand on the surface by Ye Qing's words, and Zhao Kai, the King of Qing, who looked a little weird, smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, why don't you plan to stand in the court? What was the truth just now? After all, for Lord Ye, it should be the best time, right? And if Lord Ye personally advised him, wouldn't it be better to achieve twice the result with half the effort?"

Zhao Shichun's words seemed to be making things difficult for Ye Qing, but in fact, they asked about the concerns that Tang Wan and his wife had not yet fully relieved.

Ye Qing looked back at Zhao Shichun and smiled knowingly, "Ye will never change his mind and stand in the court after abdicating as a priest. So whether it is King Qing or the Prince, you can rest assured. Ye is definitely not using you to build momentum for Ye to stand in the court. As for why Ye did not personally advise him, it is because Ye is self-aware. Over the years of the Northern Expedition, Ye has accumulated some reputation and prestige, but in the same way, there are gains and losses. Ye has also gained many slanderous ministers and heroes in the world and many colleagues. Now King Qing and Prince do not trust Ye very much, let alone other court officials? In addition, Shi Miyuan and other party members have been guarding against Ye. If Ye personally advised him, it would probably only make this matter backfire. Therefore, although Ye is worried about the court, he is powerless."

Ye Qing's words were very frank, and of course they were very reasonable. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. If Ye Qing advised him, Shi Miyuan and others would inevitably be opposed at that time. At that time, not only would the emperor agree to abdicate, but it would even appear... When the emperor wanted to succeed the throne, but the Supreme Emperor had no intention of abdicating, the situation of the relationship between father and son breaking up again.

Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan were silent. I have to say that what Zhao Shichun asked about was the concerns in the hearts of the couple, and perhaps even more of King Qing’s concern. However, King Qing’s scheming was incomparable to Ye Qing’s scheming, so he was forced to express his opinion in just a few words.

As a talented woman, Tang Wan is naturally extremely intelligent. She would never express her opinion as easily as King Qing on such an important matter. Even if Ye Qing had kindness to her, even if the couple owed Ye Qing a lot, they even warned Ye Qing at that time.

But as the saying goes, one time and another, the principles that the couple adhere to have always been wandering between being alone and helping the world, which also prevents them from getting out of the vicious circle of indecision.

Zhao Shicheng wanted to speak out again and again, but Tang Wan was still secretly pulling his sleeve. Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun and Ye Qing naturally took the secret actions of the two, but they were not in a hurry to express their opinions.

At this time, King Qing was not only embarrassed by the fact that he was forced to express his opinions easily because of Ye Qing's words, but naturally he also noticed the actions between Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng.

"I wonder when Lord Ye plans to let me persuade the emperor to advise the emperor?" King Qing simply gave up, and wanted to use this to hide his embarrassment of being easily trapped by Ye Qing, and strive to turn the position that was forced out by Ye Qing into his own position in a short time.

"Three days later, I would like to ask King Qing, and the Prince of Xin'an to submit a report to the court to advise the emperor to abdicate and the crown prince to succeed to the throne." Ye Qing gave up the time to give Zhao Shicheng a buffer, and directly took advantage of King Qing's question to leave Zhao Shicheng with no way out.

The nature of the hero in the north is fully reflected in Ye Qing at this moment. He does not give other clan members any chance, but directly makes this matter tough.
