Ye Qing's carriage slowly drove into the Yanwang Mansion, and Ye Qing, the person, appeared at the door of the apricot garden at this time.

Qingqiu respectfully greeted Ye Qing and Xu Han into the apricot garden, and at this time, in the palace Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Kuo had already learned from the mouths of Wei Jing and Han Ying that some news about Ye Qing had been circulating in the palace and outside the palace in the past few days.

Not only Zhu Xi's students were secretly rescued from prison by Ye Qing, but even those students who were exiled and dismissed have already returned to their hometowns behind the back of the court because of Ye Qing's relationship.

And what made Zhao Kuo's heart blocked was naturally before Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, and all kinds of rumors about Ye Qing guarding the north and winning prosperity for the Great Song Dynasty were all spread by Zhu Xi in secret, the purpose was to create an influence on Ye Qing as an immortal hero of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Some people also say that the reason why Ye Qing was given the title of King Yan by the Holy Lord is precisely because of ...... Influenced by these rumors. Otherwise, no matter how great Ye Qing's merits are, he will not be promoted to the title of the only living king with a different surname in my Great Song Dynasty. Wei Jing bowed his head and said, Yu Guang glanced at Zhao Kuo's right hand holding the brush, which was already green at the moment.

"Even some courtiers are also talking about it, the reason why Ye Qing will help Zhu Xi and his students is that he hopes that Zhu Xi and other heavenly scholars can help him spread the reputation of immortal heroes, so that he can be crowned king by the imperial court after conquering the sixteen states of Yanyun." Han Ying said on the side.

With a snap, the brush in Zhao Kuo's hand was broken alive, and Zhao Kuo, who was a little gritted his teeth, had a gloomy face and a cold expression: "What a Ye Qing, he has gone around in such a big circle, and he turned out to be a group of tricks!" It's hateful! ”

Seeing Zhao Kuo gritting his teeth and resentment, Wei Jing and Han Ying didn't dare to say anything on the side, after all, in their opinion, Ye Qing was indeed playing Zhao Kuo for the title of King Yan.

"What else did you hear?" Zhao Kuo asked coldly.

Wei Jing and Han Ying glanced at each other, and after both of them hesitated, Han Ying finally spoke: "Rong Guogong went to Chang'an back then, and it is said that ...... It is said that Ye Qing was seen in Chang'an...... Privately wearing yellow clothes, and in Chang'an, the Emperor of Jin also visited this place back then, and it is said that a secret agreement had already been made between the two, saying that they would support Ye Qing's ...... in the north. ”

Han Ying's tone trembled a little, although she didn't believe that Ye Qing would really rebel, but now in the past few days, these rumors have spread with nose and eyes, and Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui has indeed been to Chang'an back then, and has also seen the scene of Emperor Jin talking and laughing with Ye Qing in Lin'an.

"Ye Qing really wants to rebel and can't succeed!" Zhao Kuo didn't wait for Han Ying to finish speaking, and his fist slammed heavily on the table, making a muffled sound, which made Wei Jing and Han Ying, who were already nervous, look frightened.

"As long as Ye Qing succeeds in usurping the throne, the sixteen states of Yanyun will also return it to the Jin people. There are rumors that it is not so much that Ye Qing captured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but that the Jin people temporarily lent the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to Ye Qing. Because...... Yanjing and other places were like this, they didn't shoot even a single arrow at all, and the Jin people gave the city to Ye Qing. Wei Jing said tremblingly.

At this moment, he could no longer distinguish the truth of these rumors, and there was only a deep panic in his heart.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, since after Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, Lin'an City had these rumors so quickly, then these rumors were

It's not all true, but it can't all be seen as fake.

After all, what these rumors say is also true, although there are several roads in the north that are already under the control of the imperial court, but the important roads and mansions are still under Ye Qing's control, such as Chang'an and Taiyuan.

What's more, there is also a witness of Rong Guogong Zhao Shikui, isn't it? In any case, Zhao Shikui had personally arrived in Lin'an, and Zhao Shikui, as a sect, would never use lies to deceive the saint at this time, right?

In addition, Ye Qing did not send an arrow at that time in Yanjing, so he easily took Yanjing City, and followed others to Zhongjing Road in the Jin Kingdom, and even because the Emperor of Jin had a grudge with the Mongols, all these reasons are enough to make people believe that Ye Qing, who is now the King of Yan, does have the ambition to replace the Song Court!

And he wants to be promoted to the rank of prince, obviously in preparation for the next usurpation.

"Ye Qing now has Yelu Yue, the princess of Liao, Li An'an, the deceased monarch of Xia State, and Yelu Chucai, the courtier of Jin State, is now also an official under Ye Qing, no wonder he has been wooing Uncle Qing Wang and Uncle Wu Zhao Shichun, and the queen mother even wants to marry Uncle Wu's two ......daughters to Ye Qing's two sons." Zhao Kuo shook his head unconsciously, and muttered: "If Ye Qing is really allowed to succeed and the marriage between him and the clan is successful, I am afraid that the time will come...... No, this time Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, I am afraid that he already wants to rebel. Uncle Qing Wang and Uncle Wu have always had a close relationship with him, and the north has always been tightly held in his hands, and now the imperial court intends to be involved in moderation, so ...... How could Ye Qing be willing to sincerely hand over all the roads in the Northland? Obviously, this was a ploy that Ye Qing used to paralyze the court and I let my guard down on him. ”

Han Ying glanced at Zhao Kuo with some apprehension, and then at Wei Jing who lowered his head, and after his lips moved several times, he finally swallowed in the slightly silent imperial study: "But...... But these are all rumors now, and they are still ...... There is no conclusive evidence, and if the Holy One is credulous, it is not ....... ”

"Are you still an ignorant boy when you first ascended the throne?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Han Ying, who was worried about him, and a rare smile appeared on his face, and said, "How could I be stupid enough to turn my face with Ye Qing immediately?" How many killings has Ye Qing provoked in Lin'an over the years? Even if he is passive and weak every time, but in the end? By the time the morning sun had risen, his enemies had all been laid in coffins, as long as he was still alive. So, I'll be extra careful. ”

"Yes...... Miss Xie also said that day that Ye Qing did give you a chapter for the Holy Lord, and he was not dissatisfied that the Holy Lord did not welcome him back to Lin'an ....... Han Ying always felt that it was not low, but what was wrong, she couldn't say it for a while.

Even, from an emotional point of view, she also agrees with Zhao Kuo's judgment of the current situation, Ye Qing is an out-and-out minister, an anti-minister who wants to seek power and usurp the throne, after all, when his father and Xie Shenfu went to Kaifeng, he had also seen the northern land under Ye Qing's rule, and how the imperial court was not valued there.

Even his father, Han Yanjia, had privately knocked on it after returning to Lin'an, saying that the northern land that Ye Qing was in charge of was like a small court, and Ye Qing was like an emperor who could fight against Lin'an Shengshang, almost all officials took Ye Qing's will as their will, but for the Lin'an court, few people mentioned it, and even the local people didn't know where the capital of the Song Dynasty was, but they knew very well that the army led by Ye Qing at that time was

After the attack, they came under the wall of the Kingdom of Jin.

"There have been few palace maids or eunuchs in the palace, especially ...... The palace where I often stay, such as the Qinzheng Palace. There was a faint smile on the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth.

He believed that Xie Daoqing would not lie to him and Han Ying, and since he asked Xie Daoqing to probe Ye Qing's reaction and got such an answer, then Zhao Kuo himself believed that Ye Qing would never be stingy enough not to give himself a recital to return to Lin'an.

After all, Ye Qing didn't know that his attitude towards him had changed at that time, and even Zhao Kuo himself was because he inadvertently realized Ye Qing's true purpose in the Jin Kingdom when he was chatting with Han Ying.

So no matter what, there is no need for Ye Qing to stiffen the relationship with himself, not to mention, if Ye Qing really wants to rebel, then at this time, it is necessary for him to treat him with a more loyal courtier attitude.

So now that Ye Qing has given himself a concerto, but the concert has not reached his own hands in the end, it can only be ...... Either the chapter is missing on the road, or it is missing in this diligent palace.

The northern land is the territory that Ye Qing has entrenched for many years, and it is impossible for Ye Qing to give him a piece of music to disappear halfway, so the most likely thing is that the piece is lost from here in the Qinzheng Palace.

Wei Jing shook his head silently, but Han Ying blinked his bright eyes thoughtfully, the two of them also didn't know whether there were palace maids and eunuchs missing in the palace, but Han Ying knew that after Ye Qing met the queen mother, Zhu Ye'er and Qingqiu, the two queen mother's henchmen, were mysteriously summoned many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

Han Ying didn't think much about it at first, thinking that the two of them were looking for eunuchs and palace maids who were quick to move their hands and feet for Cining Palace.

"These days ......." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's gaze, and muttered thoughtfully: "Aunt Zhuye'er and the nobles in Qingqiu are very concerned about the affairs of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and the slave maid thought that she wanted to find some ...... for Cining Palace. ”

"The queen mother has been in the Cining Hall for many days, and Aunt Zhuyeer has followed the queen mother for many years, and almost all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace are handy for the queen mother." Zhao Kuo interrupted Han Ying's words, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that Ye Qing also told his mother about his giving me a song, and Aunt Zhu Ye'er is obviously secretly investigating this matter." But don't know what to find out? ”

Han Ying frowned slightly, and then shook her head: "The slave didn't dare to ask Aunt Zhu Ye'er about it, so I don't know very well." ”

Zhao Kuo began to think with his chin in his hand, and subconsciously said, "Do you want me to go to Cining Hall now...... What about the mouth of the queen mother? I don't know if the queen mother knows now, since Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, rumors have gradually emerged in and outside the palace. ”

"Today's Aunt Zhuye'er and the nobles in Qingqiu...... followed the queen mother out of the palace with ....... Han Ying reminded Zhao Kuodao.

"Haven't come back yet?" Zhao Kuo looked out the window at the night with some surprise.

"I'm afraid I won't be back tonight, right? The Queen Mother began to worship the Buddha in the past two years, and from time to time she would go to ....... Han Ying said as a matter of course.

"Forget it, let me know when the queen mother returns." Zhao Kuo sighed slightly, his heart still felt uncomfortable, especially whether Ye Qing wanted to rebel, which had always haunted his heart, and he had to find a way, how to solve this crisis, or how to get rid of Ye Qing, a rebel who had two people!
