Just like in the Northland, it is almost an unconscious subconscious habit, in Zhao Shicheng's mansion, whether it is eating or drinking tea in the front hall again, Ye Qing is sitting on the main seat, on the left and right are King Qing and Chongguo Gong, and opposite are Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng.

From the very beginning, Zhao Shicheng and his wife naturally looked at the seating order of the two with Ye Qing as the main person, and they were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything.

But no matter what, Zhao Shicheng and his wife still faintly saw Ye Qing's status and power in the northern land from these repeated seat orders, otherwise, King Qing and Chongguo Gong would not have been able to do so naturally.

The tea was put on the table again, and when Tang Wan got up and wanted to leave, she was also stopped by Ye Qing.

After all, Ye Qing knew very well that even if Tang Wan was avoided in this matter, after he left, Zhao Shicheng would inevitably learn from Tang Wan one by one, and then ask Tang Wan's opinion, so it was better to directly let Tang Wan participate in it, which could also be regarded as giving Zhao Shicheng some pressure.

"The saint has been ill for many years, and the court will not participate in it a few times in a month, and the queen is a little unjustifiable after all. The emperor is gone, although the prince is still young, but now he is ...... My dynasty is not a queen who can be used in government, so doesn't it make people laugh at my Great Song Dynasty court as the Liao State back then. Ye came here today to discuss with King Qing and King Xin'an, whether to ...... can be emulated from Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo. Ye Qing began to get straight to the point and said.

He rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, and today he participated in the banquet of Zhao Shicheng and his wife, and he did not drink alcohol as usual, so this also made King Qing and others have to replace wine with tea during the banquet.

Listening to Ye Qing's words, naturally no one would suspect that Ye Qing was talking about wine, but this question about the royal family still made King Qing, Duke Chongguo, and King Xin'an feel a sudden increase in pressure on their bodies in an instant.

As a foreign minister, Ye Qing can naturally talk about it behind closed doors, but as a clan, when it comes to the issue of the royal throne and succession, he obviously has a lot more scruples than Ye Qing.

So after Ye Qing finished speaking, the hall became a little silent, and even Tang Wan subconsciously grabbed her sleeves, and she didn't know how to pick up Ye Qing's words.

"Naturally, not long after the death of the Emperor Taishang, he mentioned the matter of advising the Holy Zen throne, which was a bit inappropriate and thoughtful. But as the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and the saint ignores the government, so whether it is my foreign ministers or the clans, they are all looking at it and worrying about it. What's more, there are still people above the court who form a party for personal gain, wanting to emulate the traitor Han Yanxuan to dictate the court. In this way, naturally no one can guarantee that that person will not become the second Han Yanxuan. Ye Mou is soft-spoken in the court, and Ye Mou is a military general, so he is naturally not as familiar with the affairs of the court as other officials, and he is the king of Qing and the prince of Chongguo, and he knows that the north seems to be stable at the moment, but in fact, whether it is the Jin or the Mongols, they are still eyeing the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing's voice was calm and powerful, and his gaze slowly swept over the four people present as he spoke.

Although Ye has no talent, even if he has been lucky enough to gain fame in the southern and northern wars over the years, Ye does not dare to be proud of his achievements, and he has self-knowledge and knows that he is not a pillar of governing the country and the country. He didn't dare to use some of the merits of the Northern Expedition to seek a position in the court. In the early years, he was determined to prevent the Jin people from going south, disturbing the stability of my people and the Great Song Dynasty, but now the words are still in his ears, Ye does not dare to forget the original oath and want to guard the frontier for my Great Song Dynasty. Ye Qing did not hide and reveal his thoughts without any details, so that whether it was King Qing or others, he understood that he was not trying to seek the court by advising the Holy Zen position like Zhao Ruyu did back then.

With Ye Qing's words, King Qing and Chongguo Gong looked at Ye Qing with a calm expression in some surprise, and even Zhao Shicheng and his wife opposite also cast some surprised and shocked eyes.

Yes, when Ye Qing first mentioned the matter of advising the Holy Zen Throne, whether it was Zhao Shicheng and his wife, or King Qing and Chongguo Gong, the first reaction in his mind was that Ye Qing's purpose was to follow Zhao Ruyu's promotion path and gain a foothold in the court.

So after hearing that Ye Qing didn't mean to gain a foothold in the court at this moment, the reaction of the four naturally became a little unbelievable.

"Lord Ye...... Lord Ye really didn't plan to take this opportunity to ....... Zhao Shicheng couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart at first, and asked with some disbelief.

And King Qing and Chongguo Gong, at this time, their expressions became a lot more relaxed than just now, and secretly took a long breath, in their opinion, as long as Ye Qing had no intention of the court, then no matter what, the orthodoxy of the court and the majesty of the royal family were barely preserved.

After all, Ye Qing's strength in the Northland, King Qing and Chongguo Gong saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts, although they supported and even approved of Ye Qing's various actions to disobey the imperial court in the Northland, but no matter what, they were the Zhao Song clan after all, and they never wanted to see Ye Qing standing above the court, and then go ...... coerced the actions of the princes of the Son of Heaven, thus making the royal family

In the Great Song Dynasty, he was like a puppet.

The northern land seems to have become Ye Qing's own territory, although now Ye Qing is trying his best to ease the relationship with the imperial court, using various ways to prove that the northern land is the territory of the Song court under the control of the imperial court.

But no matter what, King Qing and Chongguo Gong both believed that even after Ye Qing was based on the court, it would be difficult for the north to break away from Ye Qing's personal control for a while and a half, Xin Qiji, Yu Yunwen, Liu Keshi and others, but they were all Ye Qing's henchmen, and now they held absolute power in the north.

And once Ye Qing is based on the court, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to almost completely put the name of the northern place under Ye Qing's name, and at that time, as long as Ye Qing is interested, it is not impossible to depose Zhao Song and ascend by himself.

So emotionally speaking, King Qing and Chongguo Gong are more inclined to Ye Qing to return to the north, even if Ye Qing makes the north finally surnamed Ye, but at least Zhao Song can still keep the territory south of the Yangtze River, so that the entire Song royal family will not be placed under Ye Qing's tiger power.

Ye Qing looked at Tang Wan, who was secretly pulling the sleeve of the king of Xin'an County, and shook his head with an easy-going smile: "Ye Mou knows that his ability is limited, how dare he live above the court and mislead the country and the people?" Ye is just a martial artist, and guarding the frontier should be Ye's dispatch, not standing on the court, so how dare Ye live up to Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Taishang's holy grace to Ye? It's just that now, although Ye is a martial artist, he shouldn't worry about the affairs of the court, but the saint has ignored the government for many years, and the queen's governance is unreasonable after all, and if King Qing and the king of the county can advise the saint to take the throne, the prince will succeed him, and the saint and the queen will assist him, and Ye will be able to return to the north without worry. ”

This was a transaction between Ye Qing and their clan, and after Ye Qing finished speaking, King Qing, Chongguo Gong, and King Xin'an County instantly had such a conjecture in their hearts.

"Back then, the Duke of Yi advised the Emperor Taishang to take the throne, although it was the power of one person, but ...... After all, it is inseparable from the courtiers' admonitions, and now although I can play the exhortations, but this king alone is light and ....... King Qing was the first to speak, although he still had some worries in his heart, but no matter what, at least this could keep Ye Qing away from the court and defend the northern land, for their clan, it was better than watching the court being controlled by Ye Qing.

It is true that Shi Miyuan has a lot of prestige above the court, but in the eyes of King Qing and others, it is obvious that Shi Miyuan's dictatorship of the court is not comparable to Ye Qing's dictatorial court, after all, Shi Miyuan only has silver in his eyes, and Ye Qing's eyes ...... To this day, no one knows how ambitious he is.

Therefore, if Ye Qing is placed above the court, with Ye Qing's strength and the power of the north, within a few years, he can overthrow Shi Miyuan's henchmen above the court, so as to dictate the court, such harm is obviously much greater than that of Shi Miyuan, who is only greedy for money, to the royal family.

Of course, the reason why King Qing was the first to stand up in favor naturally also has a layer of loyalty to the royal family, after all, the Emperor Taishang intended to let his son inherit the throne of the Song Dynasty, so at this time, King Qing, no matter which position he stands, it is necessary to be the first to stand up and make a stand.

"I believe that the Lord will also have this intention. After all, he is the right minister of my Great Song Dynasty, and the pros and cons of government affairs in the court will be more clear than him. Ye Qing interrupted King Qing's somewhat hesitant words and gave a reassurance.

"In that case, this king is willing to try." King Qing unconsciously, with his vague statement and his eagerness to clear his son's attitude of not wanting to take the throne of the royal family, he was forced to a dead end by Ye Qing's words, which made him have to agree to Ye Qing's request and advise the Holy Zen Throne even if he had other concerns in his heart.

As a result, in the hall, the eyes of several people involuntarily placed on Zhao Shicheng and his wife.

Ye Qing didn't mention Chongguo Gong, but only mentioned King Qing and King Xin'an County, so Chongguo Gong at this time was also happy not to speak, just sat quietly and listened.

Zhao Shicheng looked a little flustered under the gaze of Ye Qing, King Qing, and Chongguo Gong, and involuntarily set his eyes on Tang Wan, and even if Tang Wan wanted to stop it, it was too late.

I couldn't help but sigh helplessly, the reason why Ye Qing didn't let a woman leave was because he had long been aware that the county prince's mansion could be the master of most of the people, and he had made up his mind not to give the couple time to discuss, think, and weigh the pros and cons.

"The king of the county is nothing but ......." Tang Wan had to speak, but looking at Ye Qing's deep gaze that seemed to be able to perceive everything, Tang Wan's words that wanted to shirk in an instant were swallowed back stiffly.

Ye Qing's gaze at her was not sharp, and even the corners of his mouth still had his trademark easy-going smile, but those deep and seemingly perceptive eyes that could see everything, in Tang Wan's opinion, seemed to be able to see all her thoughts, and any prevarication seemed a little pale and self-deceptive under those eyes.

"The king of the county is still sent by Zongzheng Temple, and he has respected the law of being good to himself over the years, and he has not been involved in the court

Clan's business, but ....... Ye Qing slowly opened his mouth and continued: "But now it is not the same as in the past, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and there is a disease in the body that does not heal all year round, although the prince is young now, if there is a saint and the queen's auxiliary government, it must be better than the queen's auxiliary government in the saint, right?" What's more, now it's time for the county king to look forward, the clan is in trouble, and the county king should shoulder the responsibility of the clan. ”

Ye Qing's words behind him were a little ambiguous, giving people a tacit feeling, naturally listening to Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng's ears, it had a different taste, and it could even be understood at will.

Ye Qing did not say that the couple waited in Ye Mansion for a night that night, just to warn Ye Qing, and it could be regarded as saving a trace of face for Zhao Shicheng and his wife in front of King Qing and Chongguo Gong.

So at this time, hearing Ye Qing say this, the hearts of the couple were somewhat relieved, but if the two of them were to do the affairs of the Zhao Song clan themselves, the two of them were still a little hesitant and difficult to decide.

Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun looked at Zhao Shicheng and his wife, who were still hesitant, and then looked at the three words, and was easily persuaded by Ye Qing, who had just reacted at this moment, and was easily forced to take a superficial position by Ye Qing's words, and Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, who looked a little strange, said with a smile: "Lord Ye, why don't you plan to stand on the court?" What you just said was true? After all, now should be the best time for Lord Ye, right? And if Lord Ye personally advises, wouldn't it be more effective to get twice the result with half the effort? ”

Zhao Shichun's words seemed to embarrass Ye Qing, but in fact, they asked Tang Wan and his wife about the worries that had not been completely relieved.

Ye Qing glanced back at Zhao Shichun, and said with a knowing smile: "Ye will never change his mind and stand on the court after the Holy Zen position." Therefore, whether it is King Qing or the king of the county, you can rest assured that Ye is definitely not using you to build momentum for Ye to gain a foothold in the court. As for why Ye didn't personally advise, it was actually Ye who was self-aware, over the years of the Northern Expedition, Ye had accumulated some fame and prestige, but in the same way, there were gains and losses, Ye also gained a lot of stigma from ministers and heroes in the world and many colleagues. Now King Qing and the king of the county don't trust Ye very much, let alone other courtiers? In addition, Shi Miyuan and other henchmen have always been wary of Ye, if Ye personally advises, I am afraid that it will only backfire on this matter, so although Ye is worried about the court, he is powerless. ”

Ye Qing's words are very frank, and naturally they are also very reasonable, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and if Ye Qing advises, then Shi Miyuan and the others will inevitably have an attitude of opposition at that time, and at that time, I am afraid that not only will it not be possible to make the saint agree to the Zen position, but it will even appear...... At that time, the saint wanted to succeed to the throne, but the emperor had no intention of Zen the throne, which caused the relationship between father and son to break down again.

Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan were silent, and I have to say that what Zhao Shichun asked was the worry in the hearts of the two of them, and maybe it was the worry in King Qing's heart, but unfortunately, King Qing's city government scheming was not comparable to Ye Qing at all, so it was just a few words, and he was forced to express his attitude by Ye Qing's words.

And Tang Wan, as a talented woman, is naturally extremely intelligent, in such an important matter, she will never express her position as easily as King Qing, even if Ye Qing is kind to her, even if the two of them owe Ye Qing a lot, and even did not hesitate to warn Ye Qing at that time.

But at this time and that time, the principles that the two of them adhere to have been wandering between being alone and helping the world, which has also made them unable to get out of that cycle of indecision.

Zhao Shicheng wanted to speak out three times and twice, but Tang Wan was still secretly tugging at his sleeve, Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun and Ye Qing naturally saw the secret movements of the two in their eyes, but they were not in a hurry for the two of them to express their position.

At this time, in addition to being slightly embarrassed by being forced by Ye Qing to express his position easily, King Qing naturally also noticed the actions between Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng.

"I don't know when Lord Ye plans to let this king advise the saint?" King Qing simply broke the jar and broke it, and also wanted to use this to cover up the embarrassment of being easily tricked by Ye Qing because his city government was not enough, and strive to turn the position forced out by Ye Qing into his own position in a short period of time.

"Three days later, I also asked King Qing and King Xin'an to go to the court to advise the Holy Zen throne and the crown prince to succeed to the throne." Ye Qing gave up the time to buffer Zhao Shicheng, and directly used King Qing's questioning to make Zhao Shicheng have no way out.

The essence of the Northland Hero, this moment is vividly reflected in Ye Qing, he doesn't give the clan a chance at all, and directly and forcefully gives this matter a shot.

As for the Xin'an Junwang and his wife, since the couple ran to the Ye Mansion that night to warn, they had no room for bargaining in front of Ye Qing, but Ye Qing would still know the reason and take care of the noble status of their clan in front of the couple before, but now it has just become an order-like behavior, no longer caring about the identity of their Zhao Song clan, but treating them as people of the Ye Party.
