The news that the envoy of Dali Kingdom arrived in Lin'an was immediately known by the court, Ye Qing and Li Fengniang who were in Xingyuan.

But what is puzzling is that the envoys led by Chen Ying and Gao Le of Dali Kingdom did not go to the palace to meet the Emperor Zhao Kuo of the Song Dynasty. Instead, the two of them came to the Yan Palace to pay a visit without any hesitation.

However, it is obvious that the King of Yan is still quite tactful and knows who is the real "master" in Lin'an. Therefore, in order to take care of the face of the court and the emperor Zhao Kuo, even if the envoy of the Dali Kingdom wanted to ask to meet the King of Yan outside the Yan Palace, the Prince of Yan always refused to meet with the envoy of Dali on the grounds that the King of Yan was not in the mansion and was out.

This scene naturally reached the first time to Shi Miyuan and others, and then through them, it also reached the Qinzheng Hall in the palace.

In the apricot garden, Qingqiu found a bird cage for Ye Qing from somewhere, and inside it was a female and a male oriole. The male oriole began to scream crisply and pleasantly before Ye Qing could approach.

Li Fengniang and Zhu Yeer, not far from the back garden, looked at Qingqiu's attentiveness, and Ye Qing teased the oriole in the cage with interest, unconsciously both of them looked contemptuous.

Li Fengniang, who had just reported the matter of the Dali envoy group, finally couldn't stand the leisurely and contentment of the King of Yan, walked up to him and asked, "Don't you know what happened in Lin'an City?"

"What happened? Did the Dali envoys run to my mansion to see me?" Ye Qing continued to tease Huang Li with great enthusiasm.

"Are you concerned about the face of the court and the emperor?" Li Fengniang asked, looking at the two orioles in the bird cage.

Still teasing the oriole in the bird cage, Ye Qing said disrespectfully: "You don't want to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean you don't want to cause trouble." He turned his head and looked at Li Fengniang who was slightly frowning and staring at him, and walked into the hall and said: "The loss of my memorial in Qinzheng Hall is enough to show that someone has begun to be impatient to provoke the relationship between me and the court and the emperor. After coming to Lin'an... even if he asks me, shouldn't he know how to please me?"

"What do you mean?" Li Fengniang, who followed, vaguely understood Ye Qing's intention, but she didn't understand it thoroughly.

"It's not interesting. If you ask for others, how could you put the people you ask for in a dilemma? Can't Dali envoys distinguish between the subordinate relationship between superiors and inferiors? When they came to Lin'an, they ignored my Song Dynasty and the Supreme Lord and wanted to come to see me blatantly. Don't they know that if I saw them at the first time, would it cause dissatisfaction between the court and the Supreme Lord? Besides..." Ye Qing reached out and grabbed Li Fengniang's hand, and said with a smile: "The barbarians of Dali are obviously ulterior motives, not to mention that I am in the gentle hometown of Xingyuan and have beautiful women, so how can I have time to see them?"

Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing with a charming look, shook Ye Qing's hand angrily, sat down next to her, sighed slightly, and said, "If it were someone else, the Dali envoy would have ignored the actions of the court and the emperor, which made him feel vanity high, and was praised so much that he would have no idea who he was."

Ye Qing also sighed, took the teacup handed over by Zhu Yeer, thought for a while and said slowly: "I and Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan Zengyi back then.

I believe you know that the three of us were all ulterior motives along the way, fighting openly and secretly. Whether before we arrived in Dali or after we arrived in Dali, we were not as calm as we appeared on the surface.”

Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing and was also curious. She vaguely remembered that Ye Qing and the other two went to Dali to the State of Dali, which seemed to cause a lot of trouble in the court. But in the end, because Dali was quite complete, the court ignored the storm, which made Ye Qing, Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan go to Dali together, and was regarded as the first step for the three to rise together in the court.

Now Ye Qing is the King of Yan, Shi Miyuan is already the left prime minister, and Han Tuozhou was executed for rebellion. Although it is now a change of things, the three people were often used by other officials to secretly discuss the matter in private.

Of course, some people think that Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou had a good personal relationship with each other before they went to Dali. However, after the three of them slowly rose in the court, the three of them gradually drifted away due to their interests and ambitions, and eventually parted ways, and even became opponents in the court.

Shi Miyuan focused on running the court and never changed his goals for many years. At first, he was considered to be quite strong in his family background, among the three of them, he was also the slowest promotion in his career.

Han Tuozhou also has a strong family background, and has a great reputation and influence in both the court and the army. He joined the army in his early years, but later he went to the court. He was regarded as the fastest promotion among the three and the smoothest career.

The subsequent development just confirmed this point. Han Tuozhou eventually became the first left prime minister among the three, who was powerful in the court. His strength back then completely surpassed Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan.

Ye Qing was not favored from the beginning. He had neither family backgrounds nor strong backings in the court. He was also a leader of an imperial guard, so among the three, Ye Qing looked more like a scattered person.

But it was precisely because Ye Qing was not favored that he had forcibly embarked on a career path of his own in the army. Although it was not as smooth as Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou in the early and mid-terms, but in the later period...especially since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Ye Qing had already vaguely shown his career path that was stronger than the other two.

Over the years, Ye Qing has been the one who has experienced the most ups and downs among the three. He has experienced many life and death. Just as Shi Miyuan focused on the court, Ye Qing obviously knew his strengths and weaknesses, so he gave up the court without any strong backing and chose to focus on seeking fame and fame in the army.

So although he is still quite unfamiliar with the court, his noble identity as King Yan is obviously not comparable to Shi Miyuan's left minister's mission. In addition, he is now even more powerful in the north, which makes the person who is least favored by the past actually become the one who is likely to become the final winner.

Nowadays, if we only talk about power, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan are from the south and north, and from the literature and from the martial arts, they are not distinguished from each other, but if we add their own titles, etc., Ye Qing is obviously a little better.

After Han Tuozhou was executed, the conflict between Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing has not been made public yet

But almost all the officials in the court knew that the Song Dynasty was now divided equally with Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan.

Listening to Li Fengniang talking about these other people's discussions over the years, he would occasionally express his own opinions, or satisfy Li Fengniang's curiosity, and explain some unknown secrets of the three of them who went to Dali Country to Li Fengniang.

Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing blankly, with a slightly surprised expression. Obviously, she did not expect that the three people with different ulterior motives had a conflict with Ziqi and Luodian before they arrived at Dali.

After arriving in Dali, he actually participated in other people's court disputes. Even at that time, Han Tuozhou would join forces with Ye Qing to deal with Shi Miyuan.

"What you said is true? Then why have you never heard others mention it in the court?" Li Fengniang asked incredible.

"Shi Miyuan is now the left prime minister of the court. Who dares to discuss other officials in the court? Moreover, the court ignored the things that happened back then, so it became Chen Guzi rotten sesame seeds, and no one would care about them. Those who are willing to discuss these things either want to analyze their career path in the court and which side they should go to in the future, or it is purely because of curiosity." Ye Qing was slightly melancholy and turned around before he knew it and realized that in the past, whether it was good or bad things, in addition to making people sigh and sigh, he also felt that the past time was the best.

"So you suspect that Shi Miyuan and Dali envoys had secretly colluded?" Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing, feeling inexplicably proud of Ye Qing.

The grudges and grudges between her and Ye Qing have come to this day, and the feelings between the two have been difficult to explain clearly, so because of this, when Ye Qing now has such a high position today, Li Fengniang is actually proud of Ye Qing from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, the Empress Dowager, naturally knew the dispute between the court. However, Emperor Xiaozong was still in power at that time, and she was just a crown princess, and she did not have the right to assist the emperor in politics like in previous years, so she naturally knew very little about the old things back then.

"It's not suspicion, but affirmation. Shi Miyuan was very close to the Gao family in Dali back then, and this was almost the main conflict between the three of us when we were in Dali. Although Shi Miyuan finally escaped unscrupulously, this does not prove that there will be no connection between him and Dali." Ye Qing sighed slightly and said.

Before the Dali envoy entered Lin'an, he had already sent the envoy to Lin'an and took the lead in telling Ye Qing that he would come to visit him first. Ye Qing was really a little self-righteous at first, which was the reason why he is now in power.

But with his thoughts over the past few days, especially since the Dali envoy arrived in Lin'an yesterday, he ran to his mansion to visit. The attitude that everyone in Lin'an City wished everyone knew about Lin'an City had to doubt that there was a behind-the-scenes pusher behind the Dali envoy group.

Coupled with the loss of the memorial and the deterioration of his relationship with Zhao Kuo's originally wanted to improve, all this made Ye Qing lose the guilt he might feel when he was planning Dali when he focused on Ziqi and Luodian in the southwest.
