Ye Qing walked out of the envoy's room of Dali State, and did not see Zhao Kuo or Jia She. Only Bi Zaiyu stood not far away and was looking at him.

Ye Qing, who felt a little strange in the atmosphere, looked around but did not find anyone else. At this time, Bi Zaiyu had already walked to him, and the two of them walked side by side in the direction of Fengbo Pavilion.

"I originally thought that the emperor would come to Dali Temple a few days ago, but I didn't expect..." After hearing Bi Zaiyu tell him that Zhao Kuo was also in Dali Temple, Ye Qing said while walking: "I have only been a few days since the Confident Prince's Mansion. It seems that the emperor has matured a lot quickly, knowing how to tolerate it more than before, and has begun to be a little cunning."

Ye Qing's tone had a hint of admiration. Bi Zaiyu walked beside him and said, "Jiang Ye just listened to your conversation with the envoy of Dali State, and then left immediately before you came out to visit Shi Miyuan."

Ye Qing nodded silently. Since Shi Miyuan was detained by him and entered Dali Temple, Ye Qing had never visited Shi Miyuan again. In Bi Zaiyu's opinion, it seemed like he was left specifically for Zhao Kuo to interrogate himself.

"In a few days, King Qing will return to Lin'an from Yangzhou, and then he will be able to completely eliminate the remnants of Shi Party in the court." In the Fengbo Pavilion, Ye Qing sat down slowly, and it seemed that he wanted to wait for Zhao Kuo here.

"The situation in Shi Miyuan is over, but... the officials thought it was still not to be taken lightly. The emperor made a special trip to visit Shi Miyuan today. The King of Yan still needed to make complete preparations." Bi Zaiyu still reminded Ye Qing carefully.

Ye Qing seemed a little absent-minded after sitting down.

After the incident with the Confident Prince's Mansion, he had never met Zhao Kuo again, and even Li Fengniang had no useful news about Zhao Kuo to him.

Although he has detained many officials in Lin'an City in recent days, and even blocked many shops related to Shi'an Party, including the flower-planting army inside and outside Lin'an City, most of which have tested Zhao Kuo's attitude towards him now, these can only be considered indirect measures, and they still cannot completely give Ye Qing a clear signal.

Now Ye Qing also believes that Zhao Kuo's change in his attitude towards him, at least Zhao Kuo has not stopped his actions in Lin'an in the past few days, which is enough to show that Zhao Kuo has fundamentally changed his view of himself.

But it is precisely because of this that Ye Qing was a little nervous and even at a loss at this moment. I wonder if he would feel a little embarrassed if he met Zhao Kuo later.

"Since the Lord has not asked about my various actions in Lin'an these days, then... it is almost certain that Shi Miyuan is almost impossible to turn the tables on the Lord. However, I guess whether these are accurate or not. After the Lord comes out, I will be completely clear." Ye Qing did not care too much about Bi Zaiyu's reminder, and after he finished speaking, he began to taste tea leisurely.

Bi Zaiyu took a look, then thought for a while and asked, "Since King Yan believes that Shi Miyuan can no longer turn the world, why do you need to use the envoys of Dali to point out the official Shi Miyuan? What's more, King Qing has obtained evidence of favoritism and abuse of power among some officials in the north. Is it not as important as the corrections of the envoys of Dali?" Bi Zaiyu asked out the questions in his heart.

"The master is famous." Ye Qing looked at Bi Zaiyu and smiled, saying, "If the envoys of Dali Kingdom were not brought in, what name should we incorporate Dali Kingdom into our territory of the Song Dynasty?"

"This..." Bi Zaiyu was shocked. Although he had just guessed whether Ye Qing wanted to take the opportunity to get into evil with Dali, so that Dali could bow to the Song Dynasty like the Jin Kingdom today, when Ye Qing said a result that was more bold than he thought, Bi Zaiyu was even a little unbelievable for a moment. Ye Qing's ambition had expanded to the border of Dali.

Just when Ye Qing and Bi Zai met at Fengbo Pavilion and continued to talk casually about the affairs of the court or other matters in order to wait for Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo was already facing Shi Miyuan in the cell where Shi Miyuan was.

Unlike Ye Qing who entered the cell of the envoy of Dali State alone, after Zhao Kuo entered Shi Miyuan's cell, the eunuchs Zhang Dehui and Jia She with their own expressions standing behind him.

It was only a few days, but at this time, Shi Miyuan had already undergone a huge change in appearance with Shi Miyuan before Prince Xin's Mansion.

Shi Miyuan, who always gives people a red face and a high spirit, has lost a lot of weight now than just a few days ago, and even his hair looks a little gray. Although his energy looks good, he can still vaguely capture a trace of down-and-out feelings from Shi Miyuan's expression.

The clothes made of high-quality fabrics on his body were also replaced by simple clothes. Although his words and deeds were as arrogant as when he was when he was in the prime minister, Zhao Kuo could not feel any pressure in his eyes at this moment. Instead, he was sitting in front of him, just like an ordinary old man.

Similarly, in Shi Miyuan's eyes, Zhao Kuo seemed to have changed as before. Even in Shi Miyuan's eyes, Zhao Kuo had a somewhat unfathomable taste at this time, and the tenderness that originally belonged to the young king at that time could not be found from Zhao Kuo with Shi Miyuan's vicious eyes.

When Zhao Kuo did not intend to let the eunuchs and guards go out, a hint of helplessness flashed in Shi Miyuan's eyes. Obviously, Zhao Kuo did not intend to let the two behind him go out, so he silently told himself that Zhao Kuo did not intend to explain Shi Miyuan alone. The two met again, although they had not spoken yet, almost when they looked at each other in this brief silence, they seemed to have known the result of their next conversation.

"The Lord of the Emperor is able to visit the old minister today, and I am very grateful. The old minister is indeed guilty, I am sorry to the Lord of the Emperor. But the Lord of the Emperor... do you believe that the King of Yan Ye Qing has no intention of the court?" Shi Miyuan sighed slightly, simply omitting some politeness, and even not intending to defend himself, but chose to attack Ye Qing again at this time.

"Why is King Yan guilty?" Zhao Kuo asked with interest, and even did not make his own conclusion about whether Shi Miyuan was guilty.

Shi Miyuan looked at the young Zhao Kuo and frowned unconsciously. Zhao Kuo did not choose to question his guilt at the first time, even though Shi Miyuan had already admitted that he was guilty in front of Zhao Kuo.

In Shi Miyuan's view, Zhao Kuo did not question why he broke into the Xin Palace that day, nor did he ask whether he had collusion with Duke Rong Zhao Shikui, nor did he even take the initiative to question the matter with King Shu and his son, but chose to ask Ye Qing if he was guilty. Does this mean that Zhao Kuo no longer cared about his Shi Miyuan's crimes, but only cared about whether Ye Qing was loyal to the court?

At this time, Shi Miyuan obviously had no initiative in his hand, especially when Zhao Kuo just entered the room, his silent move immediately made Shi Miyuan realize that even if he was kneeling on Zhao Kuo and cried, he might not believe it.

So Shi Miyuan gave up defending himself and continued to attack Ye Qing in front of Zhao Kuo, as if he wanted to kill himself and live. After Zhao Kuo asked, he was slightly silent and said, "The old minister now knows that he is sorry for the trust of the emperor and the emperor, so he is naturally a sin of asking the emperor to forgive the old minister. But... the old minister was unwilling to accept that he could not bear to watch the Song Dynasty court and the emperor being deceived by Ye Qing."

Shi Miyuan looked at Zhao Kuo who was not talking, and then slowly continued: "On the night of the palace change, the old minister had to surrender to his threat to the old minister because of the pressure of the king of Yan Ye Qing, which made Emperor Xiaozong have to eliminate Ye Qing... But the old minister had already tried his best at that time, but Ye Qing had the upper hand in Lin'an City. In the end, the old minister could only watch silently as Emperor Xiaozong wanted to eliminate the rebel party, and the rebel party who was really trying his best. However, Ye Qing had the upper hand in Lin'an City. In the end, the old minister could only watch silently as Emperor Xiaozong wanted to eliminate the rebel party, and the rebel party became a hero, but Han Tuozhou, who really wanted to kill the rebel party, was

...Ye Qing slandered the party for the sake of rebellion. Over the years, whenever the old minister thinks of this, he feels ashamed of the court, and even can't sleep at night. He wants to report the truth about the emperor in person several times. However, Ye Qing has many followers in Lin'an, and the emperor is young. The old minister is very afraid of being careless, so he makes Ye Qing rush outside the court more aggressively to the court. Therefore, the old minister has always thought that when the emperor gets older, he will report the truth about the emperor to the emperor. Who would have thought that Ye Qing obviously realized the truth about the emperor when he returns to Lin'an this time..."

"What Shi Xiang said... I have asked the grandfather in Deshou Palace a few days ago... Father's meaning is completely opposite to Shi Xiang. Father's opinion: On the night of the palace change, if Ye Qing hadn't come to help immediately, Emperor Xiaozong would have been hostage by the rebel Han Tuozhou." Zhao Kuo sighed slightly, looked at Shi Miyuan quietly for a moment, and then continued: "If Shi Xiang wanted to convince me with the old things that year, or slander the King of Yan, he would probably be disappointed."

"Master, what the old minister said is not an exaggeration. Even for every matter of the King of Yan, the old minister has conclusive evidence." Shi Miyuan's face was not disappointed because of Zhao Kuo's disbelief. In his opinion, Zhao Kuo had been to come to see him for a long time. On the contrary, Ye Qing imprisoned him in Dali Temple and never came once. It is very likely that it has already shown that Ye Qing had already gained Zhao Kuo's complete trust. Otherwise, how could Ye Qing not show up for such a long time, and let Zhao Kuo come to see him with confidence.

"Shi Xiang wants to say... what happened to Zhao Ruyu, a clan member? Or do you want to remind me that King Yan is independent in the north?" Zhao Kuo asked lightly. At this moment, the light-hearted temperament of Zhao Kuo exuded from his body seemed particularly familiar to Shi Miyuan's eyes.

"Master, although the old minister is guilty, he is loyal to the court and the emperor, and he has never been so loyal, but Ye Qing is definitely not the case. The old minister has already known Ye Qing since Ye Qing started entering the court. Over the years, the old minister and Ye Qing have fought openly and secretly, because Ye Qing wanted to cover the sky with his hands! Master, please imagine that in the past few years, the northern land under Ye Qing's control can have any respect for the imperial court? Over the years, the old minister has tried every means to send officials to the north, hoping to make the northern land lean towards the court, and thus restrain Ye Qing from becoming bigger and bigger in the north. The reason why the old minister is like this is absolutely for the sake of the court and the emperor."

"But Ye Qing secretly interfered in this matter. In the early years, the officials sent by the old ministers to the north either disappeared on the way to take office, met robbers halfway, or were infected with plagues after arriving in the local area, etc. The lord, these are not true. The fact is that all of this is the order of Ye Qing to resist the government of the north, so that he could make him Ye Qing cover the sky with one hand in the north, and even proclaim himself king or... seek power and usurp the throne when the time is right!" Shi Miyuan said earnestly. If it were in the past, Zhao Kuo might have believed Shi Miyuan's words, but Zhao Kuo, who was sitting in front of him at this time, seemed to be completely uninterested in what Shi Miyuan said.

Looking at Zhao Kuo, who looked calm and felt that the bargaining chips were not enough, Shi Miyuan's heart couldn't help but sink. Over the past few years, he also understood Zhao Kuo's temper and character. Therefore, the more relaxed Zhao Kuo had always been, the more he realized that it would be better to provoke Zhao Kuo's distrust of Ye Qing again.

"The Lord may not know yet. After the Jin envoy came to Lin'an, the first person to visit was not the Lord, but the King of Yan Ye Qing? Master, did you not realize that the relationship between Ye Qing and the envoy of Dali was a bit too good? The Emperor Wanyan Jing of the Jin Dynasty has always claimed to be Ye Qing's student for years, and the great khan of Mongolia Temujin of Mongolia claimed that Ye Qing was his sworn brother. Master, these are extremely dangerous for you and our Song Dynasty. I have been fighting with Ye Qing over the years.

He was worried that one day Ye Qing would steal the Song Dynasty." Shi Miyuan was speaking earnestly, but in Zhao Kuo's ears, he felt a sense of pride for no reason. Even at this moment, he felt an impulse in his heart and wanted to ask Ye Qing immediately: Over the years, in the face of the heavy suppression and impeachment of the court, how could he make the Jin Emperor Wanyan Jing always be in front of the people of the world and admit that he was Ye Qing's student? And how could he make the Khan of Mongolia say that they were brothers?

"You want to tell me that Ye Qing will rebel one day and ask me for this dragon throne, right?" Zhao Kuo retracted his mind and looked at Shi Miyuan and asked.

"The Lord, it's not one day, but right now. This time Ye Qing came back, obviously to seize the Song Dynasty. Once the Jin and Mongolian countries both resigned in the north with Ye Qing, then Ye Qing was in the rear without any scruples. His purpose of going south to Lin'an this time was...Sima Zhao's heart." Shi Miyuan said worriedly.

Zhao Kuo stroked his chin with one hand, then thought for a while, and shook his head silently at Shi Miyuan: "These cannot convince me. I still want to know more secrets about Ye Qing, don't you know Shi Xiangke still?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Even Shi Miyuan didn't notice it. Now his interaction with Zhao Kuo has become completely in charge of the initiative. However, after seeing Zhao Kuo for many days, none of the reactions of Zhao Kuo after seeing Zhao Kuo after various remarks have happened.

"What I mean is... I want to know... some secrets that people don't know, don't know if Shi Xiang knows?" At this time, Zhao Kuo seemed quite mysterious, and even made Shi Miyuan feel inexplicably chill: "Or... have the followers under Shi Xiang's command said something in front of you over the years...that seems to be slandering Ye Qing's reputation? Even the rumors."

Shi Miyuan frowned slightly without knowing the intention of Zhao Kuo. He quickly recalled the rumors about Ye Qing and the slander of Ye Qing's reputation in his mind over the years... Shi Miyuan shook his head unconsciously. Over the years, if there were any rumors that could damage Ye Qing's reputation and make people all over the world curse, it was nothing more than his support for troops in the north...

"For example, it's like the similar thing that King Yan saved Princess Xin in Jiankang and then hid in Yangzhou." Zhao Kuo continued to remind him and asked.

Shi Miyuan shook his head in a daze and murmured: "By the time, whether it was me or Han Tuozhou, they thought that the person who jumped into the lake was Princess Xin. He did not expect that Ye Qing had already taken Princess Xin away. And later... it seemed that this matter was suppressed by Emperor Gaozong. Not long after, Princess Xin died in the chaos of the Xin Mansion. Therefore... there was no cause between Ye Qing and Princess Xin..."

Seeing that Shi Miyuan didn't look like he was lying, Zhao Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, holding the armrest of the chair with one hand, glanced at Shi Miyuan, who was a little confused, and said, "Since that's the case, then I can only hand Shi to the King of Yan to deal with it..."

"Master, I know that I am guilty, but I do not ask that the priest be able to forgive me for my sins. But... As the saying goes, it is good for a person to die, so I ask the priest to think more. Ye Qing is definitely not..." Shi Miyuan was shocked. He originally thought that he knew very well about Zhao Kuo's purpose of visiting him, but at this moment, looking at Zhao Kuo who was getting up and preparing to leave, Shi Miyuan was a little confused. Zhao Kuo wanted to come to Dali Temple to see his purpose.

"Yes, I trust King Yan very much, and I am sure that King Yan will never rebel, nor will he steal the Song Dynasty! So... Shi Xiang wants to know why?" A smile gradually appeared on Zhao Kuo's lips. At this moment, in Shi Miyuan's eyes, it was as if Ye Qing was standing in front of him.

"Why?" Shi Miyuan asked in confusion.

Zhao Kuo stopped Jia She who wanted to follow him to approach Shi Miyuan, and then walked to Shi Miyuan alone, leaned over to Shi Miyuan's ears, and after saying a soft voice, Shi Miyuan's expression changed drastically, and a thunderous sound in his mind was like a bolt from the blue.

"This...this...this...this is possible?this...this is not true!" Shi Miyuan's face turned pale. Looking at Zhao Kuo who smiled and stood up after saying that, he shook his head in disbelief, but Zhao Kuo's smile in front of him seemed so convincing, even making Shi Miyuan think that it was not Zhao Kuo who had been sitting opposite him and talking to him, but Ye Qing himself!

At this time, Zhao Kuo seemed to have finally let go of all his worries, and his whole body seemed more relaxed than before. Obviously, after the incident of the Xinwang Mansion, especially since the return of Deshou Palace, the thing he was most worried about did not happen.

After all, if even Shi Miyuan, who is well-informed in the court, is not clear about it, then what else can he be afraid of?
