When Ye Qing walked out of the Hening Gate, Mu Huali, Qiu Chuji, Shu Chi, and the envoys of the Jin Kingdom Li Xiang had been waiting for him for a long time.

In addition to these two groups of people, on the carriage a little farther away, Xie Daoqing was standing under the carriage and looking at Ye Qing, who waved his hand vigorously, and the girl's face was slightly happy and excited.

Not far from Xie Daoqing's side, a middle-aged scholar who looked like a scholar first nodded at Ye Qing, and then slowly walked to Ye Qing.

He was already an acquaintance with Mu Huali, Li Xiang and Qiu Chuji, and Ye Qing was not at all curious about the appearance of the three of them at the Hening Gate, but he was very curious about the identity of the young man who followed behind Mu Huali.

Obviously, the one who can follow Mu Huali and Qiu Chuji to the Hening Gate is by no means an ordinary guard, it must be one of Wokotai or Shuchi.

So when Ye Qing's eyes looked at Yu Chi with an easy-going smile, Mu Huali immediately introduced Ye Qing's identity to Yu Chi.

Compared with Ye Qing's easy-going smile and calm demeanor, when looking at Ye Qing, the tall and bearded Yan Chi could clearly feel that in those slightly sunken eyes, there would be a sharp flash of light from time to time, and even many times he did not hide his hostility towards Ye Qing at all.

And Ye Qing simply ignored Xiao Chi's eyes, which were more like deliberately targeting Ye Qing, and said hello to Xiao Chi easily, and after praising Ju Chi's promising, he looked at other places.

Xie Daoqing, who was a little farther away, obviously didn't expect that the people who had just walked down from these carriages were all waiting for Ye Qing. So at this moment, when he saw Ye Qing greeting others not far away, he couldn't help but come over.

After all, she now has the task that the current saint Zhao Kuo and the palace maid Han Ying have just given her on her shoulders, so no matter what, she should talk to Ye Qing as soon as possible.

Whether it was Li Xiang of the Jin Kingdom or the slightly grand Mongolian Mu Huali, the reason why they were waiting for Ye Qing at the Hening Gate was naturally to invite Ye Qing to their post house to discuss matters.

In the north, Ye Qing is an existence that cannot be ignored, and now that these envoys have arrived in Lin'an, no matter what the ultimate purpose of their envoy is, Ye Qing is also a mountain that they must worship.

After listening to the invitation of the Mongols and the Jin people, Ye Qing turned his attention to the middle-aged scribe: "Dare to ask the name of the Gao surname?" ”

"Don't dare. The student's surname is Zheng Mingqiao, and he was ordered by Mr. to invite King Yan to come over to the house. Zheng Qiao saluted Ye Qing.

"Mr. Zhu Xi, Mr. Zhu?" Ye Qing asked again, before he came to Lin'an, he already knew that Zhu Xi was still in Lin'an, but he no longer thought about Zhishi as he did at the beginning, but calmed down and began to study his science.

"Exactly the student's sir." Zheng Qiao said with a smile, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, but quite a Confucian style.

Ye Qing nodded silently, and then moved his gaze to Xie Daoqing, who had just stepped forward, compared to the smile on Mu Huali and the others, he was much more sincere and relaxed, and looked Xie Daoqing who was becoming more and more standard up and down, and then asked lightly: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I ......." A touch of shyness and restraint instantly appeared on Xie Daoqing's face, she already knew that Ye Qing had returned to Lin'an yesterday.

And since knowing that Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, Xie Daoqing has dreamed and imagined countless scenes of meeting Ye Qing in her heart, but only the scene of seeing Ye Qing with several people at Heningmen is something she never thought of.

When he was a little speechless for a while, Xie Daoqing said in a hurry: "I'll pick you up and wash the dust." ”

Looking at Xie Daoqing, who was full of youthful energy, especially the fair and delicate cheeks, and the bright and clear eyes, Ye Qing felt as if he was also a lot younger.

Although the two didn't get along for a lot of time at the beginning, Ye Qing still knew a little about Xie Daoqing, and looking at the words that were obviously wrong, Ye Qing didn't debunk Xie Daoqing in front of everyone.

Looking back at Mu Huali and Li Xiang, he said: "Ye just returned to Lin'an yesterday, I'm afraid it will be difficult to separate today, I will go to the post house to visit the envoy another day, how about it?" ”

Mu Huali frowned slightly, although Li Xiang's heart was also a little dissatisfied, he obviously didn't dare to show it on the surface.

"Did King Yan really decide not to discuss things with us in Mongolia first? In addition to congratulating the holy wedding of your country, the last general will come to Lin'an this time, and he will also be ordered by the Great Khan of Mongolia ....... Mu Huali's words have been clearly expressed, he came to Lin'an this time, and he also came to discuss with Ye Qing with Temujin's will.

Ye Qing didn't wait for him to finish, then shook his head and said, "The date of the Holy Lord's wedding is in May, and now it's only April, isn't there time?" ”

Ye Qing obviously made up his mind, and he didn't plan to give Temujin or Wan Yanjing face.

Li Xiang saw that Ye Qing had once again rejected the invitation of the Mongolian Mu Huali, and originally wanted to put pressure on Ye Qing with Wan Yan Jing, so he unconsciously gave up silently.

He reluctantly smiled and said: "Well, since this is the case, then Li will not bother King Yan, I just hope that King Yan will not forget, I am the ...... of the Great Jin Kingdom Sage." ”

"Okay, Ye will definitely go to the post house to visit Master Li." Ye Qing said to Li Xiang with a faint smile.

"Are you rejecting the invitation of our Mongols?" Just after Ye Qing finished speaking, he never spoke, but he had been staring at Ye Qing with a pair of eyes like eagles, with deep hostility, and suddenly spoke.

Zheng Qiao and Xie Daoqing on the side couldn't help but look at the gloomy look of Xiao Chi, while Xie Daoqing was taken aback by the look of Xiao Chi, her eyes had been on Ye Qing from beginning to end, so she didn't notice the fierce look of Xiao Chi at all.

Li Xiang was slightly stunned, and then his face showed an expression as if he was watching a good show, and his dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's refusal of their invitation to the Golden Kingdom suddenly faded a lot.

Of course, he wanted to see the relationship between Ye Qing and the Mongols getting worse and worse, so that it would naturally be beneficial and disadvantageous for their Jin Kingdom, especially when the situation in Lin'an was a little delicate.

Ye Qing's gaze turned to Mu Huali, and Mu Huali shrugged his shoulders, he believed that since Ye Qing knew the identity of Chu Chi, then he could not give himself face, or ignore himself, but as the eldest son of the Great Khan, he didn't believe that Ye Qing would treat him with the same contempt.

Looking at Mu Huali's appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, and then he turned his gaze to Xiao Chi, and said lightly: "Even if Temujin is here, I will still refuse his invitation, not to mention that you are just Temujin...... The eldest son only. ”

Ye Qing seemed to pause deliberately, although he didn't deliberately point to anything, but he could obviously see that his expression was even more gloomy than just now, and his eyes were staring at Ye Qing like a beast.

Mu Huali was shocked in his heart, especially when he looked at the faint smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, as if with a trace of disdain and contempt, he unconsciously glanced at Xiao Chi, who was already about to be angry, and said secretly in his heart: What is the purpose of Ye Qing's words? Did he know something?

After coming to Lin'an, Mu Huali was deeply afraid that the discord between Shuchi and Wokotai would be noticed by Ye Qing, or used in the future, so he came to wait for Ye Qing at Heningmen today, and deliberately only brought the opportunity to express the sincerity of their Mongolians to invite Ye Qing.

But now looking at Ye Qing is just a simple sentence, as if he already knows something.

"What do you mean?" Shu Chi immediately took a step forward, his tall figure and gloomy expression, with a faint anger like Ye Qing asked.

Ye Qing's demeanor was still relaxed and casual, he didn't care about the demonstration of taking a step forward, and said lightly: "What do you mean?" Maybe you will know what it means by going back to the post house and asking Wokotai...... ”

"Ye Qing, what do you want to do? Know how to do it in moderation. Mu Huali couldn't help but hurriedly stopped, at this moment, he was obviously sure that Ye Qing must know something, otherwise, he would never pause when talking about Temujin's eldest son, and then immediately mentioned the name of Ogedei.

Looking at Mu Huali, who originally wanted to stay out of the matter, his expression became extremely solemn, the smile on Ye Qing's face became more and more happy, and Li Xiang, who was watching the show, and Zheng Qiao and Xie Daoqing, who looked dazed, were still at a loss, I don't know how it was just a few simple words, how it suddenly made the atmosphere tense and weird in an instant.

"Enough?" Ye Qing's gaze turned to Mu Huali, and after sighing slightly, he said, "Since Brother Mu knows the meaning of the four words "enough, then Ye Mou will give these four words to the few people present." Now this is in Lin'an, and in one month's time, it will be the wedding day of my Great Song Sheng, so Ye also hopes that you will stop in moderation, and don't do something discordant in Lin'an, otherwise...... Brother Mu, the matter of Jinan Mansion is not revealed. ”

Mu Huali's expression also became solemn, he naturally knew what was going on in Ye Qing's mouth about Jinan Mansion, and Ye Qing obviously guessed that they were coming to Lin'an this time with the happy event of Emperor Zhao Kuo of the Song Dynasty, and they were definitely not just here to congratulate the Great Song Emperor on his wedding day.

Mu Huali looked at Ye Qing quietly, one hand tightly grabbed the gloomy face, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Okay!" Since this is the case, then the last general will wait for King Yan to visit in person at the post house. ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Huali pulled Mu Chi and turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage, and Qiu Chuji, who had never spoken, looked at Ye Qing with a helpless expression, and then looked at the backs of Mu Huali and Shu Chi who were walking towards the carriage, and finally sighed silently and followed Mu Huali and Shu Chi to leave Hening Gate first.

And Li Xiang saw that there was nothing good to see, so after saying hello to Ye Qing, he also left Heningmen.

The place at Heningmen suddenly became a little empty, and Zheng Qiao and Xie Daoqing didn't figure out for a while, who Ye Qing planned to go to now.

And Ye Qing said to Zheng Qiao after Mu Huali and Li Xiang's carriage left: "Then Mr. Trouble will lead the way in front." ”

Zheng Qiao was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Ye Qing, who was already the king of Yan, chose to go to Zhu Xi's invitation after refusing the invitation of Mongolia and Jin.

thought that after Ye Qing rejected Mongolia and Jin, he would then refuse his invitation to replace Zhu Xi, after all, he knew more or less that over the years, the relationship between Zhu Xi and Ye Qing had actually been in a state of good and bad.

Xie Daoqing also thought that after Ye Qing rejected the invitation of the Mongols and the Jin State, he would then reject the scholar in front of him, and then choose to leave Heningmen with him.

So when Ye Qing said to Zheng Qiao to lead the way, Xie Daoqing's face was instantly full of incredulity, a pair of clear and bright eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Ye Qing with a questioning look.

Just without waiting for her to ask, Ye Qing looked at her and smiled: "You go with me and take your carriage." ”

At this time, Zheng Qiao was relieved from his stunned, and hurriedly said to Ye Qing that it was okay, and then immediately trotted to the carriage and signaled the coachman to drive in front of him immediately.

Originally, the coachman of the carriage that Xie Daoqing was riding was driven down by Xu Han and rode in the same carriage with Jia Shi behind him, while Xu Han personally drove for Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing.

The carriage slowly began to follow Zheng Qiao's carriage forward, and Xie Daoqing, who was sitting on both sides of the carriage with Ye Qing, had the opportunity to look at Ye Qing, who he hadn't seen for nearly two years.

Compared with the beginning, Ye Qing at this time is obviously thinner, the white temples are still like snow, and the eyes are particularly dazzling, but what remains unchanged is the angular face and the calm and wise, with a silky elegant temperament, between gestures, compared with the beginning, it seems that there is a trace of indescribable domineering.

Looking at those big eyes that had been staring at his face, Ye Qing once again involuntarily flicked Xie Daoqing's white forehead.

Xie Daoqing, who was awakened, instantly had a flush on his cheeks, and pouted slightly: "Why are you beating me again?" ”

"What are you waiting for me at the Hening Gate?" Ye Qing looked at the youthful and beautiful cheeks and asked with a slight smile.

Xie Daoqing unconsciously touched his forehead, and then said: "It's nothing, didn't you say it, I want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"You're going to wash the dust for me?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, and then said, "Is it for your grandfather to intercede or ......." ”

"There is no ......." Xie Daoqing hurriedly denied it, but after half of the denial, the conversation that Xie Shenfu and Liuzheng overheard in the mansion suddenly appeared in his mind: "Then you...... Then you won't really want to take revenge on my grandfather when you return to Lin'an this time, right? ”

Now Ye Qing is already the king of Yan, but in Xie Daoqing's eyes, except for being a little strange at the beginning, she doesn't feel that Ye Qing is any different from the original at this moment.

Especially when Ye Qing flicked her white jade forehead again, Xie Daoqing suddenly felt as if the uncle who had been thinking about it day and night was back again, so the restraint after the meeting just now disappeared completely, and he didn't feel a little unnatural when he spoke.

Ye Qing looked at Xie Daoqing's eyes, which even had a hint of pleading, smiled and shook his head, and then said, "No, since I saved your grandfather and your uncle, how can I go back on my word now?" ”

"Then do you care about the saints...... Did the Holy One not be disappointed that he greeted you in triumph yesterday, or was he dissatisfied with the Holy One because of it? Xie Daoqing's bright eyes rolled, and he took the opportunity to bring up the errand that Han Ying had given her.

Ye Qing sighed slightly in the not too spacious carriage, shook his head and said, "No, there is just some misunderstanding between me and the Holy Master." You tell the Holy Lord that Ye Qing is not a person who cares. ”

"No, you...... Do you know what I'm here for......? Xie Daoqing covered his mouth in shock.

Then looking at Ye Qing's deep eyes, she instantly understood that in fact, when she wanted to take advantage of Ye Qing's unpreparedness to talk to Ye Qing, Ye Qing was not trying to test her purpose through tea words and conversations with her.

"You...... You lied to me! Xie Daoqing said with round eyes.

The smile on Ye Qing's face became more and more happy and relaxed at this time, in fact, he really thought that Xie Daoqing was here for Xie Shenfu's matter at first, but when Xie Shenfu's matter was mentioned, Xie Daoqing's reaction did not show much worry, but he was always a little absent-minded.

And when Xie Daoqing quickly moved from her grandfather's question to the next question, Ye Qing guessed Xie Daoqing's purpose for finding herself almost immediately.

Xie Daoqing does not have many friends in Lin'an City, and he can go in and out of the palace and Ningmen by himself, which is enough to make Ye Qing believe that Zhao Kuo, Han Ying and Xie Daoqing have obviously gotten along very well in private in the past two years, otherwise, Xie Daoqing will never appear in Heningmen at will.

"Did the Holy One ask you to come to me and test me?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Xie Daoqing pouted a little dissatisfied, and then nodded a little reluctantly and frustratedly, and said, "Why did you guess so quickly?" ”

Ye Qing quietly flicked Xie Daoqing's white jade forehead again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to turn your elbow outward, and actually help the Holy Lord partner to test my ......." ”

"How can you turn your elbow out...... No, I don't have ....... Xie Daoqing realized that the words of turning her elbow out were a bit ambiguous, as if she and Ye Qing were in the same group, and couldn't help but blush a little again.

And Ye Qing also obviously looked quite novel about Xie Daoqing's shyness, looking at Xie Daoqing glaring at him dissatisfied, he stroked his forehead with one hand, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you turn your elbow out, but you can rest assured." And what I said was true, and I didn't care about ....... ”

"Don't you really care?" There was still a faint flush on the snow-white cheeks, and when he asked Ye Qing this time, he looked much more serious than just now.

Ye Qing still shook his head slightly, while Xie Daoqing said suspiciously: "When Qian Xiangzu returned to Lin'an, it can be said that there were thousands of empty alleys, and even the saint was impatient to wait in the palace, and the entire Lin'an City was even more ...... because of the fact that the Jin State bowed down to the courtiers, but after a few days of carnival for this, Qian Xiangzu was even more for a while. ”

"I'm used to it." Ye Qing interrupted Xie Daoqing's words with a smile and said.

Although up to now, he still doesn't know very well whether Zhao Kuo's sudden abnormality towards himself is completely related to the loss of his ritual movement, or whether there are other reasons, but no matter what, he is not willing to let the court deceive me and involve Xie Daoqing, a pure little girl.

"But I still think it's a bit too ...... for the saint to do this." Xie Daoqing pursed his lips, and finally looked at Ye Qing's deep gaze, and chose not to continue to speak obediently.

"Presumably, the saint also has his difficulties." Ye Qing said with a smile, no matter whether he saw Xie Daoqing today or not, Ye Qing did not plan to take it from Xie Daoqing, why did Zhao Kuo change his attitude towards him.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Xie Dao looked at Ye Qing with clear eyes, not knowing what to do next for a while.

And Ye Qing, who was about to get out of the car, looked back at Xie Daoqing, thought for a while, and said, "Don't you go down?" ”

"I ......." Xie Daoqing pointed to his nose and said with some surprise: "Can I go with you?" ”

Ye Qing smiled and nodded in reply, then turned around and took the lead in getting out of the carriage.

Zhu Xi's so-called mansion now is just a courtyard that is slightly wider than the courtyard of ordinary people, and even from the appearance, it is not as good as Ye Qing's small mansion in Tonghuifang.

Zhu Xi was already waiting for Ye Qing at the door, and when he saw Ye Qing, the smile on his face instantly squeezed the wrinkles together, and when Xie Daoqing jumped out of the carriage, Zhu Xi was only slightly stunned, and then greeted Ye Qing with his usual face.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Qing's arrival that Zhu Xi felt that he was valued again, so Zhu Xi, who was already old, was full of red light at this time, and there was also a hint of pride in his expression.

And when Zheng Qiao knocked on the side to tell Zhu Xi what happened at Ningmen, the expression on Zhu Xi's face became more and more happy.

Barely a mansion with a courtyard, the yard is also quite clean and tidy, although the house looks a little shabby, but once it is contaminated with the scholar, then even the dilapidated house looks like it looks out of the world in the eyes of ordinary people, with a little more elegance and a little less downfall.

There were several scholars standing respectfully next to the hall, Zhu Xi and Lin Ze on the left and on the right, and Xie Daoqing and Zheng Qiao followed.

Ye Qing looked around at the house, although his words were simple, he still did not hesitate to praise, which also made Lin Zezhi and Zheng Qiao feel quite comfortable.

"If the old man knew that King Yan was busy today, he would not bother King Yan, and he would definitely visit King Yan in person one day." Zhu Xi said polite words, but obviously such words sounded more like insincere words to Ye Qing.

But having said that, Ye Qing's understanding of Confucianism and science such as Zhu Xi has obviously changed, and this is why he chose to reject Li Xiang and Mu Huali.

Compared with the land south of the Yangtze River, it is obvious that the academies and other places in the north now need Zhu Xi and other famous Confucian talents, so even if Ye Qing is already the king of Yan, but now because of the affairs in the north, he has to put down his proper figure and deal with Zhu Xi.

And from Zhu Xi's words, Ye Qing still felt that Zhu Xi had been depressed since his last failure, and he still hadn't come out of it.

Zhu Xi has never called himself an old man, but as soon as they meet today, Zhu Xi has always called himself an old man, and it can naturally be seen that Zhu Xi is now depressed and has no interest in the court.

"If Mr. is willing, Ye can help Mr. buy a slightly better house for Mr. to study and study, how about it?" Ye Qing's tone was sincere.

Zheng Qiao and Lin Zezhi's faces instantly showed joy, but Zhu Xi still looked calm and unmoved.

"King Yan is willing to come today, I'm afraid there is something important, right?" Zhu Xi diverted the topic and asked.

Ye Qing did not shy away from the few people in the hall, and said briskly: "Mr. made a lot of efforts for Ye's reputation in Lin'an before Ye's northern expedition, and now the sixteen states of Yanyun have been returned to my Great Song Dynasty, so there is also a credit to Mr. Naturally, in Lin'an for Mr. ...... If Mr. still has concerns about Lin'an, then he might as well choose a place to study and learn. Mr. Beidi can choose at will, and as for this land south of the Yangtze River, Ye will definitely ...... above the court. ”

Zhu Xi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Ye Qing's words, and then said: "The old man has already thought about it, and plans to return to Jianyang ......." ”

"Why?" Ye Qing frowned and asked.

Lin Zezhi and Zheng Qiao had a dignified face, while Xie Daoqing was at a loss, she was still a little surprised by Ye Qing's attitude towards Zhu Xi now.

"The old man had an epiphany, and the old scholar should have concentrated on learning, not on the court. Although scholars are the right way, learning is the way of scholars. I have been in a trance for decades, and only now have I realized this way. But fortunately, the old decay has not been all wasted over the years, and there is still some knowledge in this belly, so now I just want to be able to keep this knowledge in the world before the ancient times, instead of following the old man to be buried by the loess. Zhu Xi's expression was extremely calm, which was obviously an extremely valuable thing.

Scholars have always been upright and righteous, and few people are willing to admit their mistakes openly, but now Zhu Xi has not only done it, but also said it.

Lin Zezhi, Zheng Qiao and others looked calm, obviously this is not the first time they have heard Zhu Xi say this.

At this moment, Ye Qing's expression was a little dignified, and in the hall, because of Ye Qing's solemnity, the atmosphere was slightly tense, and even Lin Zezhi and Zheng Qiao couldn't help but become a little cautious all of a sudden.

Only Zhu Xi, who was still light-hearted, turned his head to look at Ye Qing and said, "Actually, King Yan doesn't say what he means, and the old man can guess eight or nine times out of ten." ”

"But I wonder if Mr. is willing?" Ye Qing also believed that with Zhu Xi's wisdom and the current situation in the Song Dynasty, it would not be difficult to guess his purpose.

"If King Yan is willing, the old man is willing to recommend these two, I don't know what King Yan thinks?" Zhu Xi pointed at Lin Zezhi and Zheng Qiao with his eyes.

"Don't you really want to go to the Northlands, sir?" Ye Qing asked.

Zhu Xi fell into silence, Ye Qing's words of course still made him moved, although he was ready to return to Jianyang, but when Ye Qing mentioned the north, Zhu Xi still unconsciously felt his heartstrings tremble, and the urge to take a look at the northland under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty unconsciously poured out.

"The old man has a ...... question." Zhu Xi was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"Sir, you might as well be blunt." Ye Qing looked at Zhu Xi with a wrinkled face seriously.

"The old man wants to know what King Yan plans next." Zhu Xi looked at Ye Qing and asked seriously.

And the seemingly simple question made Ye Qing take a deep breath, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Ye has no heart for submission. ”

"King Yan obviously still can't believe in old age." Zhu Xi looked at Ye Qingdao.

Ye Qing's expressions became more and more solemn, while Lin Zezhi, Zheng Qiao and Xie Daoqing's expressions became more and more dazed, not knowing what these two were talking about.

"I remember that King Yan once said that he would never stop until the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties was restored, and now King Yan has won the sixteen states of Yanyun and has become a prince, can it be said that King Yan is not ambitious now?" Zhu Xi provoked Ye Qing's nerves.

And Ye Qing's expression was still extremely solemn, looking at Zhu Xi, he paused slightly and said: "Ye has never forgotten, but Ye Mou's return to Lin'an this time is definitely not as Mr. thinks, he came to the court." ”

Zhu Xi looked at Ye Qing quietly, Ye Qing was also honest with Zhu Xi, and Lin Zezhi and the three of them had inexplicable faces.

"It is rare for King Yan to deign to come here today, and to be able to be so heart-to-heart with the old man, the old man is grateful. It's just a matter of going north....... Zhu Xi's frowning brows made the wrinkles more and more obvious: "How many days can you think about it?" ”

Ye Qing nodded silently, and then said: "Ye Mou knows that now is not the time when the horses are put into Nanshan and the knives and guns are put into storage, not to mention, there is no real so-called peaceful and prosperous world in this world, and Ye Mou is convinced of this. You might as well tell Mr. Ye that Ye's return to Lin'an this time is not only for the north, but also for the court. ”

Ye Qing obviously won't tell Zhu Xi everything he thinks in his heart, not to mention, now that there are more things, he still needs to judge through the situation in Lin'an these days, whether his next step should be like this.

And Zhu Xi obviously couldn't guess what Ye Qing's purpose was for returning to Lin'an this time.

Of course, he would never believe that Ye Qing's return to Lin'an this time was to show off his prestige as King Yan above the court, not to mention, after he just returned to Lin'an yesterday, although he couldn't talk about losing face, at least the royal attitude was a great blow to Ye Qing.

Therefore, he also believed that Ye Qing's return to Lin'an at this time must have his intentions, but it was definitely not to suppress dissidents above the court.
