After the death of Emperor Xin's Mansion, Zhao Kuo had changed several eunuchs around him in just a few days, and almost none of them could be used by Zhao Kuo. It was not until Zhang Dehui was selected that Zhao Kuo vaguely regained the feeling that Wei Jing was serving him at the beginning.

As for Zhang Dehui's background, Zhao Kuo not only sent someone to investigate himself, but even asked the people from the Imperial City Department to repeatedly investigate Zhang Dehui's background several times. Finally, today, he began to serve Zhang Dehui with confidence.

Outside a palace not far from Qinzheng Hall, the surroundings were full of soldiers who were still guarding the palace by the Zanghua family army. Jia She and Zhang Dehui stood not far from Zhao Kuo, watching Zhao Kuo quietly looking at the door of the palace, but did not intend to step in.

Zhao Kuo, who was a little stunned, had a calm expression on his face, and his eyes could not tell any emotion, but he had been standing there quietly for a full stick of incense.

After seeing him, Zhao Kuo waved, Jia She and Zhang Dehui immediately took two steps forward and heard Zhao Kuo ask: "Zhang Dehui goes to prepare a car and prepares to go to Dali Temple, so there is no need to inform Bi Zaiyu in advance."

After Zhang Dehui left, Zhao Kuo slowly turned around, looked at Jia She beside him, thought for a while, and said, "In addition to crying and asking for my meeting every day, can there be anything else?"

"When returning to the emperor, except when sending food in every day, when Prince Shu and his son would cry and beg to see you, most of the rest of the time were calling them wronged. However, the number of times they shouted was much less in the past few days." Jia She glanced at the palace not far away and said.

Zhao Kuo sighed slightly. In the palace, twenty or thirty steps away, he has been particularly calm since he came here. Obviously, since the King Shu and his son were imprisoned in this palace for several days, they are now obviously already yelling that they are tired and no longer have the fear of a disaster as they were in those first few days.

"Don't treat them harshly, they are the royal clans after all." Zhao Kuo looked at the quiet palace and finally chose to leave instead of stepping into the palace to ask King Shu and his son what happened.

On the way to Dali Temple, Zhao Kuo's heart seemed a little heavy because of the encounter between Shu and his son.

Although he didn't know how to deal with the Shu and his son who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, he also believed that this trip to Dali Temple today should be able to get some details about why the Shu and his son rebelled from Shi Miyuan.

The carriage did not alarm anyone. It was not until after entering Dali Temple that Bi Zaiyu hurriedly led other officials to come over.

Zhao Kuo, who walked off the carriage, unconsciously looked at Fengbo Pavilion, which was hidden under the trees on the left. This place was of no significance to him, but he knew at this time that Fengbo Pavilion was quite meaningful to King Yan. It can even be said that it was precisely because of the meeting between King Yan and Emperor Gaozong at Fengbo Pavilion that Ye Qing began his real journey as a powerful minister.

Accompanied by Bi Zaiyu and others, Zhao Kuo continued to walk deep into the Dali Temple. Zhao Kuo was still surprised that Shi Miyuan was still staying in Dali Temple and Ye Qing did not touch Shi Miyuan.

When Zhao Kuo entered another yard, he saw the carriage of Yan King Ye Qing. At this time, he was parked not far from the stable. He turned his head slightly and looked at Bi Zaiyu next to him.

Bi Zaiyu immediately explained: "Returning to the emperor, King Yan came to Dali Temple early this morning..."

"Did you personally interrogate Lou Ya and Li Xinchuan?" Zhao Kuo asked casually.

"Return to the emperor, King Yan... King Yan is not interrogating Lou Ya and Li Xinchuan. King Yan handed the two of them to the minister for interrogation..." Bi Zaiyu replied.

"Why is King Yan still in Dali Temple today?" Zhao Kuo asked in confusion.

Zhao Kuo came to Dali Temple quietly, so when Bi Zaizhi learned that Zhao Kuo was coming, he didn't even have time to tell Ye Qing.

Seeing Zhao Kuo ask, Bi Zaiyu had to answer truthfully: "Return to the emperor, since that day, the envoys of Dali Kingdom were also detained by the King of Yan in Dali Temple..."

"What? He... King of Yan detained the envoys of Dali Kingdom in Dali Temple?" Zhao Kuo's voice was obviously much higher, and his tone was also full of surprise.

"This... the King of Yan believed that the envoys of Dali State and the rebel party Shi Miyuan were related, so..." Bi Zaiyu explained to Zhao Kuo, but in fact he was not very clear about why Ye Qing wanted to detain the envoys of Dali State in Dali Temple.

Although Bi Zaiyu knew that Ye Qing had a plan for Ziqi, Luodian and Dali State in the southwest, Ye Qing detained the envoy of Dali State in Dali Temple, which made Bi Zaiyu feel that Ye Qing might be a bit too risky to do so.

After all, if Dali Kingdom knew about this, even if they were quite afraid of the current situation

In the Song Dynasty, as the saying goes, the two countries do not kill the envoys. I am afraid that Ye Qing's actions of imprisoning the envoys of Dali will still arouse the dissatisfaction and hostility of the Dali State with the court. In Bi Zaiyu's opinion, this obviously did not benefit Ye Qing from his attempt to plot against Ziqi in the future.

Bi Zaiyu thought so, but Zhao Kuo felt that the King of Yan was going to make more and more unreasonable acts, and even made a fool of himself completely disregarding the face of the court.

In addition, Xie Shenfu and Yan Keji were offended by Ye Qing one after another, which made Zhao Kuo feel helpless again at Ye Qing. For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue letting Ye Qing continue to do whatever he wanted, or should come out at the right time to stop Ye Qing's various actions now.

After sighing helplessly, Zhao Kuo was still psychologically awkward when he was in the Dali Temple with Ye Qing. Even now, he has not thought about what attitude he should face Yan King Ye Qing.

But the detention of envoys of Dali State is obviously extraordinary. At this moment, Zhao Kuo had to bite the bullet and signal Bi Zaiyu to take him to where Ye Qing is now.

He signaled that others, including Zhang Dehui, stayed there. Zhao Kuo only took Jia She and followed Bi Zaiyu in the direction where Ye Qing was.

At this time, deep in the Dali Temple, a rather simple room was surrounded by heavy troops guarding it.

Zhao Kuo looked at the situation around him, and suddenly had an idea, indicating that Bi Zai met Jia She and did not disturb Ye Qing in the room, and then he tiptoed to approach a window in the room as the soldiers around him treated him as air.

Ye Qing held the teacup in his hand, looking leisurely and contented. Opposite him were two middle-aged men with a little tired expression, Gao Le and Chen Ying, the envoys of Dali Kingdom.

Chen Ying's expression was exhausted and a little nervous and panic. Looking at Ye Qing who was content with his leisurely and contentment, he opened his mouth and finally asked: "Why are the King of Yan treating envoys from other countries like this? Indeed, my Dali country is weak, and I have always followed the leader of the Song Dynasty court and have always respected the Song Dynasty as the best country. If the King of Yan continues to act extremely, I am afraid that even if my Dali country is weak, I will seek justice from the emperor of your country."

"Yes, this time, my Dali Kingdom sincerely sent envoys to your country to celebrate the wedding for the emperor of your country. Now, the King of Yan not only did not treat guests with courtesy, but even refused to visit you, and now he imprisoned us in the Dali Temple of your country. Although the Dali Kingdom is weak, we will never be humiliated by the King of Yan today, and the Dali Kingdom will never..." Gao Le's tone was obviously much tougher than Chen Ying.

But before he could finish his words, he saw Ye Qing put down the teacup in his hand and looked at them and asked lightly: "After coming to Lin'an, the two envoys did not choose to pay their respects to me, the Grand Emperor of Song, but instead came to visit Ye as soon as possible. Why is this? But was he instigated by others? Ye had been sent to your country with Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou, and your country treated the three of us... It seemed that they were also facing each other. Now Ye has not done one or two, and the two envoys have done so.

Do you still think that Ye was not treating guests with courtesy? In any case, I believe that compared to your country's attitude towards us back then, Ye even felt that he was a little too kind to you. Of course, if you could tell me who was instigated by someone after coming to Lin'an and then provoke the trust between Ye and the court, I could immediately send you to Dali Temple, or even... I would agree to all the requests of the two envoys to Lin'an this time, how about it?"

Ye Qing's smile was still very easy-going, but Chen Ying and Gao Le swallowed nervously. If they could say those little-known things without having to bear the consequences, they would have said it long ago. The reason they didn't say it was because they were afraid that once they dragged out the secret collusion between them and Shi Miyuan, they would bring threats from the Song court to the entire Dali Kingdom.

After all, the Song court today is no longer the Song court of the past. Ziqi and Luodian can be suppressed by the Song court. Although Ziqi and Luodian have the momentum to take shape in the past two years, no matter what, they can still be somewhat worried about facing the huge Song court.

Once the Song court shifted the sight of Luodian from Ziqi and Luodian to their Dali Kingdom, and even took the opportunity to take Ziqi and Luodian to retaliate against Dali Kingdom, then they would have caused trouble to Dali Kingdom.

So this is why they have been clenched since they were detained in Dali Temple and did not dare to admit the secret collusion between them and Shi Miyuan. After all, what they are facing now is not other officials of the Song court, but have already covered the sky with their own hands, and can rely on their own to recover all lost territory from the powerful Jin Kingdom, and even capture Ye Qing from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Of course, because Ye Qing's conquest of the Jin Kingdom in the north over the years has also made them always treat Ye Qing.

Keeping a high enough vigilance, fearing that one will be careful, which will also lead Ye Qing to push the war to their Dali Kingdom.

It is precisely because of his fear and fear of Ye Qing that when Shi Miyuan secretly sent someone to contact them, they immediately decided to use Shi Miyuan's power to reduce the threat Ye Qing might pose to Dali Kingdom.

Compared to Shi Miyuan who has always only liked to make money and not like war plunder, he recaptured the northern territory lost by the Song court and seized the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, for their Dali Kingdom, they naturally felt a strong threat, and they would naturally be afraid that Ye Qing would use the increasingly powerful army of the Song court after returning to Lin'an to completely incorporate the Dali Kingdom into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

These are not alarmist words, obviously not without evidence. After all, when you have an extremely powerful neighbor who has been regaining his lost territory for years, and when the lost territory is regained and seized their important passes, as a neighbor on the other side, naturally, he will be vigilant because of the strength of the Song Dynasty court, so as to protect yourself from becoming the target of the Song Dynasty or being destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

Looking at Chen Ying and Gao Le who were silent, Ye Qing continued to smile and said, "You can rest assured that Ye has always believed in his words. As long as you truthfully confess the matter between you and the rebel party Shi Miyuan, Ye can guarantee that you will never make things difficult for the two envoys. Of course, you will not be enemies with the Dali Kingdom because of this. Dali and the Song Dynasty have been friendly for generations. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been any unpleasant things with your country. So you should believe that even if you have cooperated with the rebel party Shi Miyuan, as long as you are willing to be honest, Ye is willing to leave the blame. How about it?"

Chen Ying and Gao Le looked at each other unconsciously. Now they have been detained in Dali Temple by Ye Qing for several days, which makes them want to go back to Dali, making it uncertain, and even at the beginning, there is a feeling that they may never be able to return to Dali again.

Although Ye Qing's proposal made Gao Le and Chen Ying excited, they were still a little worried, because once they told Ye Qing the truth, it was equivalent to admitting the fact that they colluded with Shi Miyuan and joined forces to deal with Ye Qing. Will such a fact attract Ye Qing's revenge on them and even Dali, which makes them not really believe in Ye Qing's so-called past revenge.

Ye Qing is definitely not a pedantic person. He was able to reach such a high position today in the Song court, and it was definitely not because of the four words "Speaking and Believing" that he had today. What's more, in the intrigue court, the four words "Speaking and Believing" in the eyes of any official is actually worthless.

Faced with Ye Qing's calmness and the current reality, Gao Le and Chen Ying had to make a choice based on their own judgment. Is it important to tell Ye Qing the truth to save his family and life, or is it... they were detained in Dali Temple for the rest of their lives.

The two of them were somewhat hesitant, but obviously, no matter what, the national destiny of Dali is obviously not as important as that of the two of them for saving their lives.

Looking at Ye Qing with calm clouds and breezes, Gao Le finally said: "What the King of Yan said is true? As long as I tell the truth, the King of Yan will let us go back to Dali? And... will not vent his anger on Dali because of this?"

"Of course not. The Song Dynasty and Dali have always been friendly, and it is not a threat to me. What's more, the threat to my Song Dynasty has always been in the north. Why did Ye get into evil with your country because of some trivial matters? No matter how stupid Ye is, he will not be able to do something to fight against him, right?" Ye Qing said calmly.

Zhao Kuo, who was eavesdropping outside the window, curled his lips disdainfully at this time. Although he didn't know why Ye Qing had to rely on the envoy of Dali to convict Shi Miyuan, he believed that the promise Ye Qing had just made to the two envoys of Dali was probably not enough to convince him.

When Zhao Kuo made a judgment in his heart whether the envoy of Dali State would compromise with Ye Qing because of this, he heard the envoy of Dali State in the room hesitate and said: "Since that's the case, can the King of Yan allow me to consider it? After all... this matter is of great importance..."

"Of course you can give the two time to consider it." Ye Qing stood up, unable to see any intersection, and said lightly: "There is time. Even if the two don't want to say it, Ye has no way. Of course, if you want to go back to Dali, you may have to wait for a little longer."

After seeing Ye Qing finishing his words, he turned around and walked towards the door. Gao Le and Han Ying unconsciously stood up to see him off. The warning meaning of Ye Qing's words just now was very obvious, and it was clearly stated that as long as they did not tell the truth, then they would not want to walk out of Dali Temple.
