Zhao Yan summoned the courtiers he trusted and had a high status above the court to discuss the matter in Gushan, but in the end it ended in vain.

Whether it was Liuzheng, Qian Xiangzu or Bi Zaiyu's proposal, he was quite moved, but Zhao Yan, who has always been indecisive and forward-looking, fell into a tangle again.

He was very interested in Qian Xiangzu's gentle strategy: releasing kind advice to Ye Qing, but he was unwilling to immediately recall Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, who were in Chang'an in the north at this time.

Because he wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and wanted to watch the fight between Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and Ye Qing, and then the court would come forward to clean up the mess.

Zhao Yan's idea is good, but it is obviously a little too taken for granted, whether it is Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, or Ye Qing, being able to have the prestige and status above the court today is enough to show that none of the three is good, and none of them will give the other party a chance to take advantage of.

And Zhao Yan wants to profit from the open and secret battle between the three of them, which is obviously a little too whimsical.

Liuzheng, Qian Xiangzu, and Bi Zaiyu all looked regretful, shook their heads and sighed and left the lonely mountain.

Even Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu, who were still a little-for-tat just now, looked at each other at this time, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Stay ......." Qian Xiangzu was in front of the gate of Gushan Mountain, looking at the moment when Liuzheng was about to get into the carriage, and finally spoke up.

Seeing that Liulu turned to look at him in front of the carriage, Qian Xiangzu saluted and said, "Lord Liu, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Liuzheng looked at it and didn't pay attention to the words of the two of them, but got into the carriage directly, and after a slight pause, agreed to Qian Xiangzu's request.

The carriage followed the two of them across the broken bridge, and from time to time the two looked at the West Lake where the singing and dancing were leveling, or at the lonely mountain on the other side.

"I wonder what happened to Lord Qian?" Liuzheng asked with a slight frown.

"Xia Guan thought ...... Leaving the Lord as the right minister of my Great Song Dynasty court, he should have the responsibility of admonishing. At this time, the saint ignores the state affairs, the queen is arbitrary, if the emperor is so indecisive again, the lower officials are afraid that if this continues, the chaos in the north will become more and more out of control. Qian Xiangzu's tone was quite helpless, and Yang Tian sighed and said: "After the first day, it is the fifth year of Shaoxi, and Ye Qing's time in running the northern land has been too long, and the lower officials think that this matter cannot be delayed any longer." ”

Liuzheng stopped, and also sighed with a heavy heart: "Now that Ye Qing is in the north, and there is a gap between him and the imperial court after the battle of Guanshan, it is indeed not easy to let Ye Qing return to Lin'an, and it is good for the imperial court to induce him to return to Lin'an." Can...... Have you ever thought about it, if it doesn't work, you and I, as human ministers, can bear this responsibility? ”

"Leave the adults to say this...... Xia Guan didn't quite understand. Qian Xiangzu was stunned and asked with some doubts.

Liuzheng lowered his head and smiled, then looked at Qian Xiangzu and said, "Lord Qian only saw that the imperial court showed kindness to Ye Qing, so he could be tempted to return to Lin'an. But...... How to grasp this "goodwill" of the imperial court? Yes, there are a lot of problems in the Northland now, Ye Qing is anxious because of this, and Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan are restraining Ye Qing in the Northland, Ye Qing must be quite constrained now. And once the imperial court urgently summons Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan back to Lin'an, and then shows goodwill to the north, it will be suspected of acting for the tiger, unless...... The imperial court was sure enough to keep Ye Qing in Lin'an, otherwise, this strategy would not seem to be the best policy now. ”

Qian Xiangzu nodded clearly: "Lord Liu, I am afraid that the kindness of the imperial court will fulfill Ye Qing and help him solve many problems in the north, but he can't put Ye Qing in prison in Lin'an, but in the end, let Ye Qing's power in the northland be more stable and huge?" ”

"Yes, Liu does have this concern in his heart, so I guess that the emperor is difficult to make a decision for a while, and I am afraid it is also because of this concern." Liuzheng looked a little helplessly ahead, the carriage that Bi Zai met had disappeared without a trace, and another rather extravagant carriage slowly drove towards them.

Looking back at Qian Xiangzu, who was a little disapproving, Liuzheng further explained with a somewhat melancholy smile: "Although Lord Qian and Ye Qing are both from the Prince's Mansion, Lord Qian may not be very aware of Ye Qing's cunning and cunning, as well as his ruthlessness and courage. At the beginning of the battle of Guanshan, Liumou has been on the order of Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, to run for this, Xia, Jin and my Great Song Dynasty, all thought that Ye Qing that time, in the face of the tripartite encirclement, must be in a catastrophe, and Guanshan will definitely be his burial place. Can be finally ...... Ye Qing not only escaped from Guanshan intact, but also in the past two years, he first captured Guanshan, the gateway of the Xia Kingdom, and the land of the three roads of Hetao, and returned to Lin'an and unscrupulously killed Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, originally thought that his revenge would end here, but what about after returning to the North again? The Xia Kingdom was divided between him and the Mongols, and the Jin people had no way to face Ye Qing, who was conquering Xia, and it was rare to make an inch. So...... To ask such a tyrant who has been entrenched in the north for many years is by no means as simple as tempting Chang'an, I am afraid that it needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Qian Xiangzu nodded clearly, obviously not only the emperor, but even Liuzheng was frightened by Ye Qing's series of revenge methods in the past two years.

Especially Liuzheng, the last time Ye Qing was aggressive and returned to Lin'an without hiding his revenge, Liuzheng thought that he was going to die under Ye Qing's revenge. After all, even Zhao Ruyu of the clan could not escape Ye Qing's revenge, and he was just a military secretary who had no power at that time, if Ye Qing wanted to retaliate against him, it would never be more tricky than dealing with Zhao Ruyu.

But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations, Ye Qing only took revenge on Zhao Ruyu and warned the Emperor Gushan, and then swaggered back to the north, and launched a revenge against the Xia people.

Therefore, in Liuzheng's opinion, Ye Qing, who wants to ask for guilt and can run rampant in almost all the territories of the Song Dynasty, is by no means as simple as luring him to Lin'an.

Almost without thinking about it, it can be predicted that Ye Qing, who is now entrenched in the north like a hero, even if he is willing to return to Lin'an, will inevitably return to Lin'an with thousands of elite soldiers to protect his own integrity, and will never return to Lin'an with only his two hundred personal guards as before.

And now the troops around Lin'an, can they leave Ye Qing who returned to Lin'an with thousands of elite soldiers? Obviously, this is a completely impossible thing to do.

In the battle of Guanshan, the Xia people had 50,000 elite soldiers, and Ye Qing, who only had 5,000 people, was left. And if Ye Qing returns to Lin'an this time and returns to Lin'an with tens of thousands of horses, can the imperial court make up its mind to mobilize all kinds of armies to encircle and suppress Ye Qing in Lin'an? The answer is clearly no.

If you fight with Ye Qing in Lin'an, I'm afraid the consequences will only be more serious, even so serious that even the imperial court can't bear the serious consequences.

Once the imperial court and Ye Qing start an internal strife, then the entire Great Song Dynasty will probably fall into a situation of fragmentation, and the northern land will also support Ye Qing as the king because of this, and even Ye Qing can raise his arms in Lin'an, and the northern land will support King Qing as the emperor to compete with the imperial court.

This is obviously something that the imperial court does not want to see, and the imperial court does not want to go to this point. After all, the price paid for removing a Ye Qing like this is too great for the imperial court to bear!

The carriage is getting closer and closer to Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu, the ornaments on the periphery of the carriage, and the driver who is driving can already see clearly, Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu, who were originally walking in the middle of the road, looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and they couldn't help frowning slightly, and then lowered their heads to avoid both sides inadvertently.

When they faintly saw the carriage on the opposite side, they had already hurried to the side of the road with the carriage behind Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu, and even the outermost wheels were about to fall into the ditch beside the road.

"Yefu's carriage." Qian Xiangzu snorted coldly in a low voice.

Liuzheng looked ahead without speaking, and now in Lin'an, except for the coachman of Yefu, who will dress like a person of five or six, there is no coachman who will be like the coachman of Yefu, who can drive a car with a sense of superiority.

"Two adults, have you just come out of the Lonely Mountain?" The coachman didn't treat himself as a coachman at all, as if he was an official in the same dynasty as someone else's Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu, and greeted others very warmly and naturally.

Qian Xiangzu's nostrils snorted coldly, and then slowly turned his head to look at the West Lake, as a way to express his disdain to greet a coachman.

Liuzheng was full of smiles, as if he had met an acquaintance: "Yes, Liu's just met the emperor." ”

Tao Qian didn't go down, he was still sitting on the wheel with a long whip in his hand, no matter what his expression and temperament were, he couldn't tell that he was just a chauffeur in Ye Mansion, but more like the master of Ye Mansion.

"The Emperor, hasn't he taken a nap yet? Madame is still afraid that if this time passes, it will disturb the emperor. Tao Qian turned his head and pointed to the carriage, obviously telling the two that they had also entered the Lonely Mountain to see the Emperor.

"When Mrs. Ye was in the Xinwang Mansion, she was deeply liked by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and now she is Mrs. Ye of the Ye Mansion. Qian Xiangzu's expression was arrogant, with a strong sarcasm for Zhong Qing in his tone, and his eyes were still looking at the West Lake, and he said with some disdain.

"Qian Xiangzu, the old man dares to bully the orphans and widows of my Ye Mansion when he sees you, if my lord is in the carriage, do you dare to speak so wildly?" Tao Qian pursed his lips disdainfully, and pointed the horsewhip at Qian Xiangzu's nose and sneered.

"Hmph." Qian Xiangzu slapped away the horsewhip pointed at him with one hand, then turned around and walked towards his carriage.

"Lord Qian stays." Zhong Qing in the carriage opened the curtain on one side, first smiled at Liuzheng, and then said to Qian Xiangzu's back: "Zhong Qing marrying into the Ye Mansion is the intention of the Queen Mother, if Lord Qian is dissatisfied with Zhong Qing's marriage into the Ye Mansion, you can ask the Queen Mother when you meet the Emperor Taishang today." ”

"I hope Mrs. Ye will forgive me, just now Lord Qian and Liu had some disputes over court affairs, so I will speak more seriously just now, and I hope Mrs. Ye is not strange." Liuzheng looked at the back of Qian Xiangzu, who was silent, sighed in his heart, and had to play a round road.

Zhong Qing is still peerless, so people dare not look at it directly, and after smiling slightly, he suddenly said: "Zhong Qing is not going to meet the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother this time, but to play the Emperor with something important." ”

"I won't bother the two of ......." Liuzheng spoke again.

"Lord Liu, Lord Qian, don't you want to know what's important, do you want to play the emperor in such a hurry?" Zhong Qing asked with a smile.

Then without waiting for Liuzheng to ask, when Qian Xiangzu turned around and looked over, he said lightly: "Zhong Qing's husband, that is, Ye Qing who is in the northland, plans to reset the three major protectorates of Anxi, Anbei, and Andong in the north after the first day. ”

"What? This...... Is this true? Like a bolt from the blue, he stammered in disbelief.

And Qian Xiangzu has already become like ashes, as if he was struck by lightning, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, and even the carriage of the Ye Mansion had already left in front of the two of them, and the two of them had not yet recovered from the matter of the three major capitals.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Mansion's carriage had already entered the Gushan Mountain Gate, and Liuzheng and Qian Xiangzu slowly came back to their senses.

Liuzheng looked at Qian Xiangzu, who was also incredible, and muttered, "Ye Qing, is this going to rebel?" This is to keep the Northland completely firmly in his own hands, this is ...... Is this revenge for Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan for wanting to meddle in the affairs of the Northland? ”

"It is necessary to play the Emperor Taishang, and immediately summon Lord Shi and Lord Han to return to Lin'an. Otherwise, it will only make the uninformed people think that the matter of the Northern Land Protectorate has been approved by Lord Shi and Lord Han, who are enough to represent the imperial court, and it will make people think that this is a move of the imperial court, not his Ye Qing's opinion. Qian Xiangzu looked at Liuzheng and said in horror.

"This matter still needs to be enlightened to the Holy One." Liuzheng forced himself to calm down from the shocking news he had just received, he needed to judge the current situation, the pros and cons of the imperial court, and how to make the fastest decision.

At this time, whether it was Liuzheng or Qian Xiangzu, in a hurry, they didn't have the heart to think about why Zhong Qing wanted to tell the two of them about this.

Qian Xiangzu is from the prince's mansion, so in Liuzheng's opinion, he will have a greater certainty of returning to Anjing to see the saint, if he is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he will only be able to see the current queen, and it is difficult to see the current saint who has no intention of political affairs.

Watching Qian Xiangzu's carriage drive in the direction of Lin'an City, Liuzheng looked at the direction of Gushan with some anxiety, sighed heavily in his heart, and then walked in the direction of Gushan again.
