Liu Keshi is definitely a complete conspirator. His mind is not an open and upright route, and his ability to use both minds is now perfect. Therefore, even when facing Han Cheng, the most powerful left prime minister of the court, he can talk to Han Cheng freely while thinking quickly about who was asking Ye Qing about the problem.

He even thought about whether the letter Han Cheng asked him to read was fabricated by Han Cheng himself in order to take the lead in the negotiations with Lord Ye?

But almost instantly, he rejected the answer, and another possibility also emerged in his mind: Zhu Xi and the murder of someone with a knife.

"Sir Zuo Prime Minister, whether Lord Ye is loyal to the king and the country, it is known to see that Lord Ye is now recovering the lost territory for me, the Song Dynasty. Just like Lord Han Tuozhou, the appeasement envoy of Tongchuan Prefecture, Lord Han, is as loyal to the court. The subordinates think that neither Lord Ye nor Lord Han should be questioned by others." Liu Keshi was sure that Han Cheng would not be angry because of his words and said with a smile.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Han Cheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Master Liu Ke for a few more times, and he was amazed in his heart. Could this Master Liu Ke, who is not astonishing, really see whether he has his own conditions from his own little tips?

Liu Keshi's confidence in his heart was not reflected on his face. Although he did not follow Ye Qing before he became famous, he now also learned a lot of things before Ye Qing became famous. Whether it was the initial competition with Tang Situi or the friction with Zhu Xi, he knew it clearly.

If Han Cheng and his son have no objection to Zhao Ruyu now, it would be nonsense.

When Zhao Ruyu was promoted to Right Prime Minister, Han Cheng once opposed it on the grounds that the royal family was not good for the country. However, Zhao Ruyu was at the peak of the times and was very close to a large number of influential scholars such as Zhu Xi, as well as some of Zhu Xi's students in the court, so Han Cheng could only watch Zhao Ruyu take the position of today's prime minister.

If you want to get rid of Zhao Ruyu, Han Cheng would not dare to take the world as much as Ye Qing. Han Cheng, a civil servant, cares more about his reputation in front of him and behind him. Therefore, it is not difficult to get rid of Zhao Ruyu. It is rare to face the criticism of Zhu Xi and other scholars afterwards.

Liu Keshi passed the imperial examination, so he naturally knew the thoughts of literati. Before Ye Qing was valued, even after he resigned from office and refused to do so, he would always pay attention to the affairs of the court, and he was promoted because of what, and who had gained a good reputation among the people and literati. Liu Keshi would initially curse a few words in his stomach because of his unwillingness, or take some rumors he heard that were not conducive to those people to spread to the taverns and teahouses.

In the view of Liu Keshi at that time, even if he could not compete with others for the best and better, if he could disgust others and make his reputation questioned because of his rumors, he would feel sincerely happy after returning home, and like a victory, he would always have to drink a few drinks to celebrate.

I have never regarded my behavior as a villain. Most of the time, Liu Keshi always believed that everything he did was to enable the people and literati in the world to recognize the true face of a hypocritical guy.

Although the incident has not happened to him now, Ye Qing was thrown into dirty water, Liu Keshi empathized with it, just as if he had suffered injustice, which made him feel indignant and furious.

After all, he saw and remembered what Ye Qing did in the North, and naturally knew that all this was just for the people, for the Song Dynasty, and not for his own selfishness.

"People who are good at Taoism and righteousness, the Zuo-Prince may start from this aspect. Peng Guinian, the Minister of Rites, respects Neo-Confucian, has become crazy. Anyone who participates in the imperial examination does not lead the Taoism and righteousness and other scholars, will find it difficult to make a name for themselves in the imperial examination. The officials think that if this continues, it will not only be detrimental to the country and country of our Song Dynasty..." Liu Ke said cautiously.

"So what does Ye Qing mean?" Han Cheng also asked bluntly when he heard Master Liu Ke mention the imperial examination.

"Mr. Ye must support Master Zuo. If Master Zuo is willing, he can use this east wind to denounce people of Taoism as pseudo-learning. Any related theories must not appear above the imperial examination. In this way, it will take less than three or five years for the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty will inevitably be a clear-cut school, and a hundred schools of thought will not be the dominant one. The scholars of all literati will naturally not regard pseudo-learning as respect." Master Liu Ke gave a suggestion to completely solve the root cause, and even when he said this, his heart was trembling. After all, he could be considered a admirer of Zhu Xi at the beginning.

Han Cheng looked at Liu Ke quietly, his originally peaceful eyes began to gradually become sharper, and then slowly raised his hand and lit the letter he had read to Liu Ke with the just-lit candle. He looked at the fire that suddenly lit up in the spacious and bright room, which eventually turned into ashes and washed by the precious pen.

"If the Zuo Prime Minister is concerned, the lower-ranking official is willing to do it for the Lord and go to the residence of the Minister of Rites to mediate for the Lord. Of course, the Secretary of Li can also be placed in the name of Lord Ye." Liu Keshi stood up and bowed and said.

"No need, just have a clear idea in my heart." Han Cheng's sharp eyes became unpredictable, but Liu Keshi laughed in his heart.

Li Bi, the Minister of Rites, was just a disciple of Han Cheng. He said this himself just to seek favors. He also believed that what Han Cheng wanted was Ye Qing's attitude of not obstructing it, and that he had to ask Ye Qing to do this on behalf of others.

Liu Keshi, who walked out of the Han Mansion, faced the spring breeze, and the warm sunshine of Lin'an City shone on his body, making people think about how to have comfort and enjoyment. But at this moment, he was somewhat missing the desolation and vastness of Jingzhao Mansion, the desolation of the yellow land, the bitter northwest wind, the rough accent and the endless Yellow River water.

A carriage stopped in front of Liu Ke. Looking at Tao Qian sitting on the shaft, Liu Ke first looked serious and faced the carriage in the street: "Mrs. Ye." Then he got on the shaft on the other side: "Han Cheng agreed to agree, but the conditions are simple, so he would let Lord Ye agree not to interfere in Zhu Xi's matter."

Zhong Qing in the carriage sighed softly, trying to lift the curtain to look outside, but in the end, the hand that had just reached out, slowly put it down, thought for a while, and said, "After understanding of Lin'an, take two people back to Jingzhao Mansion. This matter should not be agreed so easily."

Master Liu Ke's heart froze, his back froze, and he quickly passed the matter he had made in his mind. He did not find any loopholes, nor did he think that this matter would cause any trouble or loss to Ye Qing.

"I would like to ask my wife to solve the problem for Master Ke." Master Liu hurriedly sat on the shaft of the car and said.

"How could Han Cheng help Ye Qing for no reason? You promised his conditions, but Han Cheng looked down on the little interests at all. The reason why he set up a simple problem for you is to admire the two people of Zhu Xi, Bai Bingzhong and Ye Heng." Zhong Qing in the carriage said with a melancholy expression: "You don't have to pay attention to Lin'an City anymore. Lord Ye explains your affairs. After you finish it, you can take Ye Heng and Bai Bingzhong to Jingzhao Mansion. As for Han Cheng, let me communicate."

"Isn't Han Cheng going to get rid of Zhu Xi?" Liu Keshi's face turned pale. He didn't expect that he would fall into Han Cheng's trap easily. He felt that he was already very cautious.

"It is not difficult to get rid of Zhu Xi. Even if you are in the court, you have the support of Zhao Ruyu? In Han Cheng's eyes, it is not a mountain that makes him a headache. For Han Cheng now, the purpose of suppressing Zhu Xi is to pave the way for Han Tuozhou, and then compete with Ye Qing in the court to win the students of Zhu Xi to stand on the same side as them. If you agree to Han Cheng so easily, it is equivalent to pushing Bai Bingzhong and Ye Heng to let Ye Qing destroy his relatives for the sake of justice.

In this way, one day, once Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, who dares to stand on the same side as him? Wouldn't he still have to face the criticism of those literati and finally get at a disadvantage in the fight with Han Tuozhou? It seems that his purpose is clearly stated, but in fact it is the purpose he is willing to let you see. The real killer move will always be hidden under the purpose he gives you to see, wearing layers of masks, making it difficult for you to distinguish the authenticity." Zhong Qing rarely gave Master Liu Ke, who was sweating coldly, analyzed Han Cheng's cunning.

Isn’t a person who can be the position of the left prime minister, and can endure Wang Huai’s years of suppression, and then stand firm and finally guard the clouds and see the bright moon, who can easily see through his thoughts?

Master Liu Ke thought he had judged Han Cheng's intention, but he didn't know that it was Han Cheng who deliberately asked him to judge. As for the real purpose, it was naturally to use this cooperation with Ye Qing to eliminate Zhao Ruyu and put Ye Qing in unkindness and unrighteousness.

Han Tuozhou's current achievements are obviously not as good as Ye Qing who recovered the three Hetao routes. After all, the influence of the destruction of Ziqi and Luodian countries is optional for the court, but the recovery of the northern region is an exciting and happy news for the Song court and the people.

Moreover, in the past two years, the revenge of the Jin people that people were worried about did not happen. Instead, Ye Qing continued to recapture the three routes in the north. Now, the entire eight route has been recaptured from the entire eight route. The territory north of the Yellow River has been completely included in the territory of the Song Dynasty. This made people involuntarily start to look forward to whether one day the Song Dynasty can really restore its former grand atmosphere.

Zhao Xing from Gushan trembled excitedly. Ye Qing did not die in Guanshan, which made him feel a little regretful, but the small regret did not have time to make him too depressed, so Ye Qing once again gave him a great surprise. The recovery of Hetao Three Roads made him so excited that he could not be able to himself. He stared at the map of mountains and rivers all day long.

Especially when the territory north of the Yellow River was inserted into the Song Dynasty flag, Yue Fei's words from that year came to mind: Driving a long car and stepping through the Helan Mountains.

Now Ye Qing is almost bordering Helan Mountain, so it is not impossible to one day capture Helan Mountain and block the enemy outside the territory.

Zhong Qing, who had not come to Gushan for a long time, stood quietly behind Zhao Xing, who was looking up at the map of mountains and rivers, and next to her was the empress dowager looking at her with a smile. Although she felt a little uncomfortable about Zhong Qing being promised to Ye Qing by Li Fengniang, it was a great thing in her heart, from Zhong Qing's perspective.

"If I can retake the Sixteen State of Yanyun for my Song Dynasty, I will definitely welcome Ye Qing to the Triumph at Gen Mountain Gate." Zhao Ling turned his head and looked at Zhong Qing who bowed to him and said.

At this time, Ye Qing, who was in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture, was standing under the city tower, personally welcomed the arrival of the hot public security.

Rela Gongji's face was very bad. He was placed under house arrest by Ye Qing's men for no reason for most of the time. This half month seemed to be isolated from the world, leaving him completely unaware of what happened outside.

Even though he was able to enter Jingzhao Mansion from the beginning of Malu, he did not come into contact with any useful information along the way. He did not think Ye Qing would be bored as to why he wanted to keep him in Malu. He just wanted to humiliate himself. In his opinion, this bastard must have taken advantage of this time to do another earth-shaking thing.

Looking at the few officials behind Ye Qing and looking at the empty city gate, Hot Gongji turned his head and looked behind him. The envoys he brought were more than Ye Qing welcomed him.

"Is it true that Lord Ye is treating me like this? When Lord Ye was triumphantly from Liao Kingdom..." Rela Gongji asked coldly, and he never mentioned his siege of Ye Qing in Guanshan.

"Take it, take it, the Prime Minister is more responsible. Recently, there is not enough staff in his hands, so I can't do it first? After all, in the battle of Guanshan, I, Ye Qing, have escaped from death. Now I can stand in front of the Prime Minister alive, which is already precious." Ye Qing laughed and asked Hot Gongji to enter the city.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was jumping around, stronger than a donkey in heat, the hot Gong Ji only snorted at his nostrils. Looking at Ye Qing, who is now full of spring breeze, he asked tentatively: "In this way, Lord Ye's war at the Hetao Third Route seems to be going well."

"Where is there, the war is not enough. The Prime Minister also knows that this war is easy to fight, but it is not easy to safeguard the people. Those who can ride horses to kill the enemy may not know how to appease the people and send local officials, right? So now the Chang'an City Office is empty, because I have sent to the third route of Hetao, so there is no one available at all. By the way, has the Prime Minister ever reported your safety to your country?" Ye Qing asked with concern as if he was not under house arrest in Malu.

Rela Gongji rolled his eyelids and sat down and said, "No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing big is happening. Now Xiqin Road has been almost settled, but it is just across the Yellow River from your country. During these days, you can see your country's army standing opposite each other with great confidence. You are afraid that they will think that I will be arrogant and come across the Yellow River in anger." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"In this way, the three Hetao routes are already in Lord Ye's pocket?" Renla Gongji's heart sank involuntarily, and began to understand why Ye Qing was under house arrest on Malu. This was because he was afraid that he would make trouble, and that he would threaten the Xia army to not act rashly.

"It's almost the same. Now there are only some complicated things left on Fengxiang Road, but I guess it will be solved in ten days and half a month. By then, I will not only be able to be neighbors with you in Guanshan, but also be neighbors with you on Xiqin Road, and also be neighbors with Temujin. That's great. The three of us will always be able to interact with you if you have nothing to do." Ye Qing signaled the Hot Gongji tea ceremony.

When Rela Gongji heard Ye Qing mention Temujin, he couldn't help but feel heart sank again. Ye Qing would never mention Temujin casually. It was obvious that he was putting pressure on himself when he said it so easily. This also made Rela Gongji feel that the Sangkun in his hand became an intractable hot potato.

Seeing Ye Qingsi not mentioning the topic about Sangkun, he just sighed silently that since the Battle of Maluguan, he has been bedridden due to injuries and was not able to get off the kang until yesterday. Even so, the doctor also reminded him not to be too tired, etc.

The hot Gongji was in a complicated mood with the teacup. He couldn't tell it. Ye Qing didn't look like a person who had just recovered from a long illness. The pride between his eyebrows and the spirit of his expression were so vigorous. No matter how he looked, he seemed to have just experienced a big happy event.

"Did Temujin have no wolf ambition? Did he really watch Lord Ye seize the Golden Man's Hetao 3rd Road?" After relieving his emotions for a while, he asked calmly.

"Did the Prime Minister expect Temujin to be determined to interfere in the battle of Guanshan? What happened then? Isn't the Prime Minister clearer than me?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

The hot Gongji was silent again in an instant. To put it bluntly, when he came this time, he was like a defeated country and seeking peace. He really had no confidence and strength. He played tricks in negotiations with Ye Qing and shook his bargaining chips.

"I am wrong about the matter of Guanshan. I misunderstood the rumors of Song Ting confusing the public, but Lord Ye, you should also understand my difficulties..." He La Gongji had to start trying to lower his posture. He knew that insisting on a high posture would not have any good effect on Ye Qing, who is now proud of his youth.

"Come empty-handed?" Ye Qing looked up and down at the hot Gongji who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea. He looked at the hall again. Several officials from Xia Kingdom who wanted to glar at him, but after his eyes passed, he asked.

"Since Lord Ye has made it clear, I will not be a mother-in-law. Since Lord Ye no longer pursues Guanshan, then I will be more generous and give Sang Kun to Lord Ye for treatment? No matter whether Lord Ye kills or sends Temujin, I have no opinion at all." After being generous, Hot Gongji lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I really want to keep Sang Kun in my Xia Kingdom. This person's talent makes me admire him very much. He can be said to be a rare tiger general. But I also know that Sang Kun and Lord Ye are friends for eight times, so I can only endure the pain and give him to Lord Ye. This can be said to have added another powerful general under Lord Ye."
