Liu Yanqing had a peculiar impression of Shen Yue; at times, Shen Yue seemed like a fool, and at other times, a sage, because Shen Yue sometimes appeared muddle-headed, yet very clear at other moments.
He didn't realize that not only he felt this way; almost everyone who interacted with Shen Yue had similar impressions.
Hearing Shen Yue mention that Zhang Jue had sided with the Song people, Liu Yanqing was secretly puzzled, thinking to himself, by calling them that, does he not consider himself a citizen of the Great Song?
In Shen Yue's mind, he thought of Zhang Jue siding with the Song people, basically predicting the Zhang Jue incident, and to verify his conjecture, Shen Yue then asked, "Is there some benefit in accommodating Zhang Jue? Otherwise, why would the Song people offend the Jurchens over Zhang Jue?"
Liu Yanqing hesitated a little.
