1205 Dali Temple

Since Wei Jing died in the Xinwang Mansion, Zhao Kuo has changed several eunuchs around him in just a few days, and almost none of them can be used by Zhao Kuo, until Zhang Dehui was selected, Zhao Kuo vaguely regained the feeling of being served by Wei Jing at the beginning.

As for Zhang Dehui's background background, Zhao Kuo not only sent someone to investigate by himself, but even asked the people of the Imperial City Division to repeatedly investigate Zhang Dehui's background several times, and finally began to use Zhang Dehui to serve by his side today.

Outside a palace not far from the Qinzheng Palace, surrounded by soldiers who are still used as palace guards by the Flower Planter Army, Jia Shi and Zhang Dehui stood not far from Zhao Kuo, watching Zhao Kuo quietly look at the door of the palace, but he did not intend to step in.

Zhao Kuo, who was a little stunned, had a calm face, and his eyes also couldn't see any emotion, but he had been standing there quietly for a long time.

After Jia Shi and Zhang Dehui saw him Zhao Kuo beckoning, they immediately took two steps forward, and then heard Zhao Kuo ask: "Zhang Dehui went to prepare the car and prepared to go to Dali Temple, so there is no need to inform Bi Zaiyu in advance." ”

After Zhang Dehui left, Zhao Kuo slowly turned his head, looked at Jia Shi on the side, thought for a while, and said, "In addition to crying and crying every day to see me, can you say other things?" ”

"Back to the saint, except for the time when the food is delivered every day, King Shu's father and son will cry and beg to see you, most of the rest of the time they are shouting that they are wronged. But the number of shouts has decreased a lot these days. Jia Shi glanced at the palace not far away and said.

Zhao Kuo sighed slightly, the palace twenty or thirty steps away, since he came here, it has been extraordinarily calm, obviously, since the father and son of King Shu were imprisoned in this palace for a few days, now they are obviously tired of shouting, and there is no longer a fear of a catastrophe like in the first few days.

"Don't treat them harshly, it's the royal clan after all." Zhao Kuo looked at the quiet palace, and finally chose to leave, instead of stepping into the palace to ask King Shu's father and son.

On the way out of the palace to Dali Temple, Zhao Kuo's heart was a little heavy because of what happened to King Shu's father and son.

Although he doesn't know how to face King Shu's father and son who want to seek power and usurp the throne, he also believes that today's trip to Dali Temple should be able to get some details about why King Shu's father and son rebelled from Shi Miyuan's mouth.

The carriage did not alarm anyone, and it was not until after entering the Dali Temple that Bi Zaiyu hurriedly led other officials to meet him.

Zhao Kuo, who got out of the carriage, unconsciously looked at the Fengbo Pavilion in the distance on the left under the shade of trees, which did not mean anything to him, but he knew at this time that the Fengbo Pavilion was quite meaningful to King Yan, and it could even be said that it was precisely because of the meeting between King Yan and Emperor Gaozong in the Fengbo Pavilion that Ye Qing started his real road to power.

Zhao Kuo, accompanied by Bi Zaiyu and others, continued to walk to the depths of Dali Temple, and was still quite surprised that Shi Miyuan was still staying in Dali Temple, and Ye Qing did not move Shi Miyuan.

And when Zhao Kuo entered the other courtyard, he saw Yanwang Ye Qing's carriage, which was also parked not far from the stable at this time, and unconsciously turned his head slightly to look at Bi Zaiyu next to him.

Bi Zaiyu immediately explained: "Back to the saint, King Yan came to Dali Temple early this morning to ....... ”

"Is it to personally interrogate Lou Jian and Li Xinchuan?" Zhao Kuo asked casually.

"Back to the saint, King Yan...... King Yan was not interrogating Lou Jian and Li Xinchuan, King Yan handed over the two to his ministers to interrogate ....... Bi Zaiyu replied.

"Then why is King Yan still in Dali Temple today?" Zhao Kuo asked slightly puzzled.

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

Seeing Zhao Kuo ask at this time, Bi Zaiyu had to answer truthfully: "Go back to the saint and ...... After that day, the envoys of Dali were also imprisoned by King Yan in Dali Temple....... ”

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

"This ...... King Yan thought that there was a connection between the envoys of Dali and the traitor Shi Miyuan, so he ....... Bi Zaiyu explained to Zhao Kuo, but in fact, even he didn't know very well why Ye Qing wanted to detain the envoys of Dali in Dali Temple.

Although Bi Zaiyu knew that Ye Qing had plans for Ziqi, Luodian and Dali in the southwest, Ye Qing's detention of the Dali envoys in Dali Temple still made Bi Zaiyu feel that Ye Qing was probably too risky to do so.

After all, if once Dali knows about this, even if they are quite afraid of the current Great Song Dynasty, but as the so-called two countries are at war and do not come to the envoy, I am afraid that Ye Qing's act of imprisoning the envoys of Dali will still cause dissatisfaction and hostility towards the imperial court of Dali, and in Bi Zaiyu's view, it is obvious that it will not be of any benefit to Ye Qing who wants to plot against Luodian next.

Bi Zaiyu thinks so, but Zhao Kuo thinks that King Yan is going to intensify his nonsense, and even some of them are messing around without caring about the face of the court.

In addition, Xie Shenfu and Yan Keji were offended by Ye Qing one after another, which made Zhao Kuo at this time feel helpless about Ye Qing in his heart again, and for a while, he didn't know whether to continue to let Ye Qing continue to do wrong, or should he come out in time to stop Ye Qing's current actions.

After sighing a little helplessly, Zhao Kuo, now in the same Dali Temple with Ye Qing, is still a little awkward psychologically, and even now, he has not thought about what kind of attitude he should take to face Yan Wang Ye Qing now.

But the current detention of the envoys of Dali is obviously not trivial, and Zhao Kuo had to bite the bullet at this moment, signaling Bi Zaiyu to take him to the place where Ye Qing is now.

Signaling the others, including Zhang Dehui, to stay where they were, Zhao Kuo only took Jia She, and followed Bi Zaiyu in the direction where Ye Qing was.

At this time, in the depths of Dali Temple, a rather simple room was also surrounded by heavy soldiers.

Zhao Kuo looked at the situation around him, and suddenly he had an idea, signaling Bi Zaiyu and Jia Shi not to alarm Ye Qing in the room, and then he tiptoed to a window in the room with the soldiers around him treating him as air.

Ye Qing held the teacup in his hand with a leisurely expression, and opposite him were two middle-aged people with a somewhat tired expression, Gao Le and Chen Ying, the envoys of Dali.

Chen Ying's expression was tired with a hint of nervousness and panic, looking at the leisurely Ye Qing, after opening his mouth, he finally asked: "King Yan treats the envoys of other countries like this, isn't he afraid of attracting criticism from the world?" It is true that my Dali country is weak, and I have always looked forward to the Great Song Dynasty and always respected the Great Song Dynasty as the upper country. If King Yan continues to insist on acting radically, I am afraid that even if my Dali Kingdom is weak, he will seek justice from the saints of your country. ”

"Yes, my Dali country this time sincerely sent envoys to your country for your country to congratulate the wedding of the saint, now the king of Yan not only does not treat the guests with courtesy, but even repeatedly refuses the two of us to visit the king of Yan, and now the two of us are imprisoned in your Dali Temple, although the country of Dali is weak, but today the two of us suffered the humiliation of the king of Yan, and the country of Dali will never ......." Gao Le's tone was obviously much tougher than Chen Ying's.

But before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Qing put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the two of them and asked lightly: "After the two envoys came to Lin'an, they did not choose to meet my Great Song Shengshang for the first time, but came to visit Ye for the first time, why is this?" But was he instigated by others? Back then, Ye Mou once went to your country with Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, and your country treated the three of us...... It seems that they are also fighting each other, and now Ye has only done one or two out of tenth, do the two envoys still think that Ye is not treating guests with courtesy? In any case, presumably compared to your country's attitude towards us back then, Ye even felt that he was a little too merciful to the two of them. Of course, if the two of you can tell me who instigated you after coming to Lin'an, and then provoke the trust between Ye and the imperial court, I can immediately send the two out of Dali Temple, or even ...... This time, I will agree to all the requests of the two envoys to Lin'an, how about it? ”

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

After all, today's Song Court is no longer the Song Court of the past, Ziqi and Luodian can be suppressed by the Song Court, although Ziqi and Luodian have been on the rise again in the past two years, but no matter what, in the face of the huge Song Court, they can still make them have some scruples.

And once the Song court shifted his attention from Ziqi and Luodian to their Dali Kingdom, and even intended to take the opportunity to take Ziqi and Luodian together to take revenge on Dali, then they could be regarded as causing trouble to Dali.

So this is why they have been clenching their teeth since they were imprisoned in Dali Temple, and they dare not admit the secret collusion between them and Shi Miyuan, after all, what they are facing now is not other officials of the Song Dynasty, but they have already covered the sky with one hand above the court, and can recover all the lost territories from the powerful Jin State with their own strength, and even be able to capture Ye Qing in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Naturally, because of Ye Qing's conquest of the Jin Kingdom in the North over the years, they have always maintained a high enough vigilance against Ye Qing, and they are afraid that if they are not careful, Ye Qing will push the war to their Dali Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the fear and fear of Ye Qing that when Shi Miyuan secretly sent someone to contact them, after a slight hesitation, they immediately decided to use Shi Miyuan's power to reduce the possible threat that Ye Qing posed to the Dali Kingdom.

Compared with Shi Miyuan, who only likes to collect money and does not like war and plunder, Ye Qing, who recovered the Northern Territory lost by the Song Dynasty and captured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, naturally made them feel a strong threat for their Dali Kingdom, and they were naturally afraid that Ye Qing would use the Song Court's increasingly powerful army after returning to Lin'an, so as to completely incorporate the Dali Kingdom into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, when you have an extremely strong neighbor who has been unable to recover his lost territory over the years, and when the lost territory has been recovered and their important passes have been seized, as a neighbor on the other side, he will naturally be vigilant because of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, so as to protect himself from becoming the target of the Great Song Dynasty, or being destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty.

Looking at Chen Ying and Gao Le, who were silent, Ye Qing continued to smile and said: "The two of you can rest assured, Ye Mou has always been true to his word, as long as the two of them truthfully confess the matter between the traitor Shi Miyuan, Ye Mou can guarantee that he will never embarrass the two envoys." Of course, it will not be an enemy of Dali because of this. Dali and the Great Song Dynasty have been friendly for generations, and since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been any unpleasant thing with your country, so the two of you should believe that even if you have cooperated with the traitor Shi Miyuan, as long as the two are willing to be honest, Ye is also willing to blame the past. How is it? ”

Chen Ying and Gao Le unconsciously glanced at each other, and now they have been imprisoned in Dali Temple by Ye Qing for several days, which makes them want to return to Dali, so they become uncertain, and even at the beginning they had a feeling that they might never be able to return to Dali.

Although Ye Qing's proposal made Gao Le and Chen Ying excited, the two of them were still a little worried in their hearts, because once they told Ye Qing the truth, it was tantamount to admitting the fact that they and Shi Miyuan colluded with each other and joined forces to deal with Ye Qing, and such a fact would not attract Ye Qing's revenge on them and even Dali, so that they didn't really believe in Ye Qing's so-called past blame.

Ye Qing is by no means a pedantic person, and he was able to reach such a high position today in the Song Dynasty court, and it is by no means that he has today's high position by virtue of the four words of words and letters, not to mention, in the court of deceit, the words of words and faith are actually worthless in the eyes of any official.

In the face of Ye Qing's calmness and the current reality, Gao Le and Chen Ying had to rely on their own judgment to make a choice, whether it was important for Ye Qing to tell the truth and save his life, or ...... He was imprisoned in Dali Temple for the rest of his life.

Both of them were somewhat hesitant in their hearts, but obviously, no matter what, the national fortunes of Dali were obviously not as important as the two of them at this moment.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was light and breezy, Gao Le finally spoke: "What King Yan said is true? As long as the two of us tell the truth, King Yan will let us go back to Dali? And...... Won't you anger Dali because of this? ”

"Naturally not. Da Song and Dali have always been friendly, and they are not a threat to my Da Song. What's more, the threat of my Great Song Dynasty has always been in the north, so why should Ye go to make trouble with your country because of some trivial things? No matter how stupid Ye is, he won't be cocooned and self-defeating, right? Ye Qing said calmly.

And Zhao Kuo, who was eavesdropping outside the window, pouted his lips disdainfully at this time, although he didn't know why Ye Qing relied on the envoys of Dali to convict Shi Miyuan, but he believed that the promise that Ye Qing had just made to the two envoys of Dali was probably not enough to convince people.

Zhao Kuo was judging in his heart whether the envoys of the Dali Kingdom would compromise with Ye Qing because of this, and he heard the envoys of the Dali Kingdom in the room say with some hesitation: "In this case, can King Yan allow the two of us to think about it, after all...... The stakes are high ....... ”

"Of course, you can give the two of you time to think about it." Ye Qing stood up, couldn't see any intersecting emotions, and said lightly: "There is time, even if the two of you don't want to say, Ye has no way at all, of course, if the two want to go back to Dali, I'm afraid they will need to wait a little longer." ”

Seeing that Ye Qing turned around and walked towards the door after speaking, Gao Le and Han Ying unconsciously got up to see each other, Ye Qing's words just now, the meaning of the warning was already extremely obvious, and it was clear that he was saying: As long as they don't tell the truth, then don't think about walking out of Dali Temple.

(PS: There are a lot of trivial things recently, and I have to consider the psychology of Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo meeting again tomorrow, and I will change it today.) )
