Ye Qing's carriage slowly drove into the Yan Prince's Mansion, and Ye Qing, the man, appeared at the door of Xingyuan.

Qingqiu respectfully welcomed Ye Qing and Xu Han into Xingyuan. At this time, Zhao Kuo had already learned from Weijing and Han Ying's mouth that some news about Ye Qing had been circulating in the palace and outside the palace in the past few days.

Not only Zhu Xi's students were secretly rescued by Ye Qing from prison, but even the exiled and dismissed students have already returned home because of Ye Qing's relationship.

What made Zhao Kuo feel nervous was naturally the rumors that Ye Qing guarded the northern part of Lin'an before Ye Qing's Northern Expedition and won the prosperous era for the Song Dynasty. They were all secretly spread by Zhu Xi, with the purpose of creating an influence of Ye Qing as a hero of the Song Dynasty.

"Some people also say that the reason why Ye Qing was granted the title of King of Yan by the Lord is because...the influenced by these rumors in the market. Otherwise, even if Ye Qing made great contributions, he would not have been promoted to the only living king of the different surname in the Song Dynasty." Wei Jing lowered his head and reported, and Yu Guang looked at Zhao Kuo's right hand holding the brush, and the blue veins were already exposed at this moment.

"Even some ministers in the court are talking about it. The reason why Ye Qing helped Zhu Xi and his students was that he hoped that Zhu Xi and other scholars from all over the world could help him spread the reputation of unparalleled heroes, so that he could be promoted to king by the court as he wished after conquering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." Han Ying said along the way.

With a bang, the brush in Zhao Kuo's hand was cut off. Zhao Kuo, who was gritting his teeth, looked gloomy and cold: "What a Ye Qing, he has been playing around with such a big circle, and he actually makes me play around! It's really hateful!"

Seeing Zhao Kuo gritting his teeth and resentful, Wei Jing and Han Ying didn't dare to say anything more. After all, in their opinion, Ye Qing was really playing with Zhao Kuo for the title of King Yan.

"What else did you hear?" Zhao Kuo asked coldly.

Wei Jing and Han Ying looked at each other. After both hesitated, Han Ying finally said: "Duke Rong had been to Chang'an back then. It is said... it is said that he had seen Ye Qing wearing privately... it is privately wearing yellow clothes. In Chang'an, the Emperor of Jin also visited here. It is said that the two had already made a secret agreement, saying that they would support Ye Qing in the north..."

Han Ying's tone was a little trembling. Although she did not believe that Ye Qing would really rebel, these rumors have been rumored in the past few days. Moreover, Zhao Shikui, Duke of Rong, did go to Chang'an back then, and also saw the scene of the Jin Dynasty emperor chatting and laughing with Ye Qing in Lin'an.

"Ye Qing really wants to rebel!" Zhao Kuo didn't wait for Han Ying to finish speaking, and his fists were hammered heavily on the table, making a muffled sound, which made Wei Jing and Han Ying, who were already nervous, frightened and frightened.

"As long as Ye Qing usurped the throne successfully, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be returned to the Jin people. There are rumors that it is better to say that the Jin people temporarily lent the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to Ye Qing instead of Ye Qing's capture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to Ye Qing. Because... this is the case in Yanjing and other places. Even an arrow was not shot out, the Jin people gave the city to Ye Qing." Wei Jing said tremblingly.

At this moment, he could no longer tell the truth about these rumors, and there was only a deep sense of panic in his heart.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and waves. Since these rumors have occurred in Lin'an City so quickly after Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, then these rumors are

It is not all true, but it cannot be regarded as fake.

After all, what these rumors say are facts. Although there are several routes in the north that have been controlled by the imperial court, the important routes are still under Ye Qing's control, such as Chang'an and Taiyuan.

What's more, Zhao Shikui, the Duke of Rong, isn't it true? No matter what, Zhao Shikui has arrived in Lin'an in person, and Zhao Shikui, as a royal family, will never use lies to deceive the emperor at this time, right?

In addition, Ye Qing did not shoot an arrow at Yanjing, and he easily took down Yanjing City without a single arrow, and followed others to Zhongjing Road in the Jin Dynasty. Even because the Jin emperor had a grudge with the Mongols, the above reasons are enough to make people believe that Ye Qing, as the King of Yan, has indeed had the ambition to replace the Song court!

And he wanted to be promoted to the title of king, obviously he was also preparing for the next usurpation of the throne.

"Ye Qing now has the princess of Liao, Yelu Yue, the fallen king of Xia, and Yelu Chucai, the minister of Jin, is now an official under Ye Qing. It is no wonder that he has been trying to win over Uncle Qing and Uncle Wu, Zhao Shichun, and his mother even wants to betroth Uncle Wu's two daughters to Ye Qing's two sons..." Zhao Kuo shook his head unconsciously and murmured: "If Ye Qing really succeeds and the marriage with the clan is successful, I'm afraid that at that time... No, this time Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, he may have already wanted to rebel. Uncle Qing, Uncle Wu, has always had a close relationship with him, and he has been holding it tightly in his hands. Now the court is willing to get in control, so... how could Ye Qing be willing to hand over all the ways in the north? Obviously, this is a strategy used by Ye Qing to paralyze the court and my guard against him."

Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo quickly with some concern, then looked at Wei Jing, who was lowering his head. After several times of his lips, he finally sweared and sniffed in the slightly silent study room: "But... but these are all rumors now, and there is still... there is no conclusive evidence. If the emperor believed it, wouldn't it be..."

"Do you think I am still the ignorant boy when I just ascended the throne?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Han Ying who was worried for him, and a rare smile appeared on his face, saying, "How could I be so stupid that I would turn against Ye Qing immediately? How many killings have Ye Qing provoked in Lin'an over the years? Even though he is passive and weak every time, what about it? When the sun rises in the morning, his enemies have already lie in the coffin, as long as he is still alive. So, I will be extremely careful."

"But... Miss Xie said that day that Ye Qing did give you a memorial to the Lord, and he was not dissatisfied with the Lord's failure to welcome him back to Lin'an..." Han Ying always felt that something was not inferior, but she couldn't say anything wrong for a while.

Even from an emotional perspective, she agreed with Zhao Kuo's judgment of the current situation. Ye Qing was an absolute slander, a rebel minister who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne. After all, when his father and Xie Shenfu went to Kaifeng, they had seen how unrespected the court was there.

Even his father Han Yanjia once knocked privately after returning to Lin'an. The northern land under Ye Qing's control was like a small court. Ye Qing was like an emperor who could compete with the Emperor of Lin'an. Almost all officials took Ye Qing's will as their will. However, few people mentioned it to the Lin'an court. Even the local people do not know where the capital of the Song Ting was, but they are very clear that the army led by Ye Qing at that time had already been

After attacking the Jin Dynasty, he reached the bottom of the city wall.

"Have you ever had palace maids or eunuchs in the palace, especially... the Qinzheng Hall and other palaces where I often live?" Zhao Kuo smiled faintly.

He believed that Xie Daoqing would not lie to him and Han Ying, and since Xie Daoqing was asked to explore Ye Qing's reaction and got such an answer, Zhao Kuo himself believed that Ye Qing would never be too stingy to not give him the last memorial to Lin'an.

After all, Ye Qing didn't know that his attitude towards him had changed at that time. Even Zhao Kuo himself accidentally realized Ye Qing's real purpose in the Jin Kingdom when he was chatting with Han Ying.

So no matter what, Ye Qing doesn't need to break the relationship that he had finally had a little harmonious relationship with him. Moreover, if Ye Qing really wanted to rebel, then at this time, he would have to treat him Zhao Kuo with a more loyal ministerial attitude.

So now that Ye Qing has submitted a memorial to himself, but the memorial has not ended up in his hands, it can only be... either the memorial disappeared on the road or the Qinzheng Hall.

The northern land is the territory where Ye Qing has been entrusted for many years, and it is impossible for Ye Qing to disappear halfway through the memorial, so the most likely thing is that the memorial was lost from Qinzheng Hall.

Wei Jing shook his head silently, but Han Ying blinked his bright eyes and thoughtful. Both of them were not sure whether there were palace maids in the palace. The eunuch was missing, but Han Ying knew that when Ye Qing met the empress dowager, Zhu Yeer and Qingqiu's confidants were mysteriously summoned many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

Han Ying didn't think much about it at the beginning, and thought that the two were looking for eunuchs and palace maids for Cining Palace.

"These few days..." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's gaze and murmured, "Aunt Zhuye'er and the nobles in Qingqiu are very concerned about the affairs of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. I thought I wanted to find some for Cining Palace..."

"My mother is in Cining Hall for many days, and Aunt Zhu Ye'er has followed her for many years. Almost all the eunuchs in the Cining Hall are easy to use." Zhao Kuo interrupted Han Ying and shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that Ye Qing also told her mother about her memorial to me, and Aunt Zhu Ye'er is obviously investigating the matter in secret. But don't you know what can be found?"

Han Ying frowned slightly, then shook her head: "I didn't dare to ask about Aunt Zhu Ye'er's affairs, so I don't know much."

Zhao Kuo began to think with his chin in his hand, and subconsciously said, "Do you want me to go to Cining Palace now... to explore the Queen's words? I don't know if the Queen knows it now. Since Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, rumors have gradually emerged in and outside the palace."

"Today, Aunt Zhu Yeer and the nobles in Qingqiu... went out of the palace with the Empress Dowager..." Han Ying reminded Zhao Kuo.

"Have you come back yet?" Zhao Kuo looked at the night outside the window in surprise and said.

"I'm afraid I won't come back tonight, right? The Empress Dowager began to worship Buddha in the past two years and would go there from time to time..." Han Ying said naturally.
