When Li Lifang appeared in the Xie Mansion, Xie Shenfu was naturally taken aback, at this time, it stands to reason that even the officials who have a good relationship with Ye Qing on weekdays should be terrified and cranky in their own mansions, how could they appear in their own mansions?

Ye Qing has a very close relationship with Li Lifang, and it can be seen clearly from the fact that Ye Qing was able to easily remove Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang from the prison of the Criminal Department.

So when Li Lifang stood in front of Xie Shenfu, who had excitement on his face, Xie Shenfu, who was stunned, was still a little difficult to come to his senses for a while, and even frowned, and took the initiative to say in a deep voice: "If Li Shangshu is interceding for Ye Qinglai, then the lower officials still hope that Li Shangshu will not be open-minded." Today's court is above the ...... Presumably Li Shangshu also understood that the Emperor Taishang had long been dissatisfied with Ye Qing's entrenchment in the north, not to mention that the northland had never been controlled by the imperial court, in this case, let alone Li Shangshu, even if he added the lower officials to intercede for Lord Ye, I am afraid it would be useless. ”

Li Lifang was also a little inexplicable by Xie Shenfu's remarks, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xie Shenfu with a serious face and felt a little funny, and said with a smile: "Why is Lord Xie sure that Ye Mou came here tonight to intercede for Ye Qing?" ”

Then, without waiting for Xie Shenfu to ask him in some surprise, Li Li continued to say: "Whether Lord Ye Qingye is loyal or traitorous is not something you and I can judge. And...... Today's Emperor Taishang's refusal to impeach Ye Qing against Han Yanxuan really shows that the Emperor Taishang wants to punish Lord Ye Qingye? Ye Qing made immortal contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, not only to recover the lost territory of my Great Song Dynasty, but also to make my Great Song Dynasty travel in Lin'an, and to stay more and more away from the iron hooves of the Jin people, so if it is said that Ye Qing is my Great Song Zhongliang, it is not an exaggeration in Li's opinion. ”

"Ye Qing's merits to my Great Song Dynasty are naturally true, but he conspired against the court and disrespected the emperor and the emperor, and the saint did do this. Although the Great Territory of Northdinuo was recovered by the soldiers led by Ye Qing, this was not an excuse for him to dominate in Northland. So Li Shangshu, Xie can't do anything about this. Xie Shenfu's serious expression was righteous and solemn.

Looking at the few maids and subordinates standing with their heads bowed in the front hall of the Xie Mansion, Li Lifang shook his head silently, and sighed: "Presumably Lord Xie misunderstood the purpose of Li's coming here tonight, Li Mou is not here tonight to plead with you for Lord Ye Qingye's matter." What's more, Lord Xie, do you think I, Li Lifang or Ye Qing, will intercede with you? Why should you be so conceited and think that I am here to intercede for others? ”

Seeing that Xie Shenfu was about to refute, and even wanted to entangle Ye Qing on whether he was loyal or traitorous, Ye Qing directly took out the document that Zhu Ye'er had just handed over to him, handed it to Xie Shenfu and said: "This is the holy master's personal approval, and I want to take you into Dali Temple to ask for guilt." Lord Xie was just a waiter in the Ministry of Labor half a year ago, and in a short period of time, he rose to prominence and rose to the post of Lin'an pacification envoy, appointing nepotism Chen Fuliang as the general judge of Lin'an, and even did not hesitate to bend the law for personal gain, form a party for personal gain, and pave the career for his two sons Xie Qubo and Xie Fubo, so that the two of them were promoted to Jiaxing Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion after you served as the pacification envoy of Lin'an Mansion. ”

"You...... Li Shangshu ....... Xie Shenfu listened to Li Lifang speak in his ear while looking at the holy decree, and instantly the whole person stood in the hall as if he had been struck by lightning, and said in disbelief: "Li Shangshu, this matter ...... This is the ...... Nothing like that. Xie Mou's promotion and the dog's promotion were personally ordered by the Emperor Taishang, and Xie could ...... in front of the Emperor Taishang. ”

"Now my Great Song Dynasty court is a saint who handles court affairs, not the emperor who has not asked about political affairs for many years. Xie Shenfu, you don't think that because the Emperor Taishang returned to the palace today, he can push his own official purchase on the Emperor Taishang and his old man, right? Or is it ...... When you Xie Shenfu was serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, you didn't know that Emperor Taishang had ignored the government for more than two years because of Emperor Gaozong, even when he was not yet on the throne? Now you want to blame the Emperor Taishang for your crimes, it's just a matter of punishing him, come on, bring Xie Shenfu to the prison ...... Dali Temple. "Li Lifang, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always rarely taken care of things, and has always handed them over to Deng Youlong for disposal, and tonight he personally arrested people, and he actually found a wonderful taste of having some power in his hands.

Just before he could finish speaking, an anxious female voice came from the entrance of the front hall: "Slow." ”

Xie Daoqing had been listening at the door for a while, and at this time he saw that after the criminal department arrested his father a few days ago, he wanted to arrest his grandfather in the middle of the night, so he ran out to stop it without thinking.

"Qing'er ......." Xie Shenfu was obviously also a little surprised that Xie Daoqing would appear here at this time, instead of accompanying her mother in the backyard.

"Who are you? Why, do you want to stop the Ministry of Punishment from arresting sinners? Li Lifang turned his head and looked at the plain and elegant girl, frowning, but looked at Xie Shenfu and asked.

Zhu Ye'er and Qingqiu originally stood in a secluded corner of the courtyard of Xie Mansion, and when Xie Daoqing appeared, Qingqiu and Zhu Ye'er couldn't help but look at each other, and on the way back to Lin'an from Lonely Mountain today, Qingqiu also told Zhu Ye'er about the personnel in Xie Shenfu's mansion, but obviously neither of them thought that Xie Shenfu's grandson

The woman turned out to be the girl who was with Ye Qing a few days ago.

"How could it be her?" Qingqiu muttered incredulously.

With Qingqiu's simple explanation of Zhu Ye'er, Zhu Ye'er also frowned in an instant, when she went to the apricot garden that day, of course she also saw the scene of Ye Qing talking to a young girl, but she didn't know much about the relationship between the girl and Ye Qing.

Naturally, she wouldn't know that when she asked Qingqiu to look for Ye Qing that day, Qingqiu happened to bump into Ye Qing drinking tea with this woman.

Zhu Ye'er frowned, sighed deeply, and then said: "Tell Zuo Jiao, just catch Xie Shenfu first, as for ......." ”

"Sister Ye'er, the queen is ......." Qingqiu's heart tightened, and doing so was against the queen's will.

"I will report this matter to the queen, and I will not involve you." Zhu Ye'er bit her lip and looked at the girl in the front hall of Xie Mansion, who opened her arms at this moment and was between Li Lifang and Xie Shenfu.

Today's Zhu Ye'er is in her thirties, and once upon a time, she was so ignorant of the world, and at that time, ...... She also enjoyed it, every time the queen asked her to go to Ye Qing, the time the two spent together for a short time.

Although there were not many words between her and Ye Qing, and even sometimes, Ye Qing was making her laugh, or trying to scare her into discoloration, but she enjoyed and missed the time when she was scared and teased by Ye Qing.

Since then, after living in the shadow of a person in his heart, he can no longer hold anything, so that later, all the people and things related to Ye Qing have become extremely cherished in Zhu Ye'er's eyes.

Zhu Ye'er didn't think about how to explain this to the queen, but although she has been following the queen's side, and is even called the queen's shadow, Zhu Ye'er is also a person with her own thinking after all.

The queen pessimistically thinks that Ye Qing will not live tonight, but in her bamboo leaves, for some reason, there is always a ...... Ye Qing will inevitably be able to turn evil into good thoughts.

When Qingqiu appeared in the front hall, Xie Daoqing, who had already lost his father and didn't want to lose his grandfather again, was already crying into tears, and when he saw Qingqiu, he instinctively thought that the appearance of Qingqiu must mean that Ye Qing would also appear.

Hurriedly grabbed Qingqiu's sleeve who walked to Li Lifang and Zuo Jiao, and cried and begged Qingqiu to let Ye Qing save his grandfather.

Qingqiu, on the other hand, bowed his body slightly, as if he had seen every official on weekdays, and said with a pleasant smile: "Miss Xie, I'm afraid this matter is Lord Ye...... There is nothing that can be done. Today, in the court, it is the impeachment of Lord Ye by his grandfather and others that makes Lord Ye ...... I'm afraid I can't help at the moment. What's more, even if Lord Ye has returned to his house now, but Grandfather Ling has just finished impeaching Lord Ye, how can Lord Ye intercede for Grandfather Ling? ”

Qingqiu rolled his eyes, and tried his best to sow discord, and the implication was that he humiliated Xie Shenfu's ingratitude. After all, no matter what Ye Qing's purpose was at the beginning, at least the lives of Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang were saved from Han Yanxuan, and Xie Shenfu still had to put Ye Qing to death until now, which naturally made Qingqiu look down on Xie Shenfu in front of him.

"If Miss doesn't believe it, you can ask your grandfather, where is Lord Ye now, and what is the situation." Qingqiu still proposed with a pleasant smile.

Xie Shenfu faced Qingqiu's implicit sarcastic words, and his face turned red in an instant, especially when facing Xie Daoqing's inquiring gaze, he couldn't help but look elsewhere.

Since Ye Qing did not hesitate to offend Han Yanxuan, he mentioned Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang from the prison of the Criminal Department to the prison of Dali Temple, and when they met for the first time in Yipinlou, they treated each other frankly in front of him and Liuzheng, which made Xie Shenfu suddenly realize at this moment: It turned out that Ye Qing really never wanted to win himself over or stay upright.

And when he greeted the two of them in Yipinlou, or later mentioned Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang to Dali Temple, Ye Qing's actions were not so much to show favor to him Xie Shenfu, but to ...... A soft warning to keep them from falling into the court party strife.

At this moment, Xie Shenfu suddenly understood why today, when he was facing the right side, he suddenly contracted the wind and cold and couldn't get out of bed and go to Genshan Gate to welcome the emperor and take leave.

Liuzheng is not sick at all, Liuzheng is by no means sick and can't get out of bed, but he has already seen today's events clearly, and he has long understood Ye Qing's warning words in Yipinlou, so at this critical moment, Liuzheng chose to avoid it, so as not to be involved in the party struggle in the court.

At the Dianjiangtai, the two monarchs and ministers were silent, and the torches at the main gate of Li, which were originally like a sea of fire, slowly entered the palace, and gradually evolved from the original sea of fire into fire dragons, and began to gather towards the Dianjiangtai from all directions in the palace.

"You don't implicate Liuzheng, just because he doesn't participate in the party struggle?" Emperor Zhao Yan was indeed a little surprised, why did Ye Qing take revenge on Zhao Ruyu alone, but instead let go of Liuzheng, who was easier to deal with, and even didn't have any opinions, and watched it

Liuzheng was promoted to the right minister of the court.

"It's as simple as that, the minister doesn't kill Liuzheng, just because Liuzheng doesn't participate in party struggle. Although he will also protect himself, just as he has never appeared in the court today, but as far as the court is concerned, such officials are indeed needed to compete with the Shi Party and the Han Party above the court. Emperor Taishang, you set up this game today, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, so that the royal family and the court will not experience it again, and the incident of the unjust killing of Yue Fei in the Fengbo Pavilion back then can also be blamed on Han Yanxuan after the death of the minister, so as to win the favor of the officials, army, and people in the north, so as not to plunge the north into turmoil. Ye Qing sighed in the cool wind.

Then he continued to say slowly: "The guards and soldiers who are now like swimming dragons in the palace are obviously prepared by the Emperor Taishang for his ministers, and the Zhaoqing Army and Sui'an Army that have not yet arrived under Lin'an City are prepared for Han Yanxuan and his henchmen. Yichen guessed, maybe the Emperor Taishang you have already prepared tomorrow's words, the Ye Party and the Han Party competed, Ye Qing was killed by the Han Party, the Emperor Taishang, you are deeply saddened, in order to avenge the loyal Ye Qing who recovered the territory of the Northland, ....... ”

"I have been single-minded in my life, indecisive, hesitant, and even abandoned the government and disregarded, so ah, I have never been a qualified emperor for a day in my life. It's just getting old...... This is finally the understanding of how to be a qualified emperor. The means must be decisive, and the city government must be deep...... Perhaps, only tonight, made me feel like I was doing what an emperor did. Ye Qing, although I am responsible for you, the world will remember you, you ...... Not wronged. ”

"Has the Emperor ever thought that if the Zhaoqing Army and the Sui'an Army can't reach Lin'an City tonight, what should you do?" Ye Qing looked up at the night sky and muttered.

Ye Qing also had to admit that what the Emperor Zhao Yan did tonight, or the game that was carefully laid out, did seem to come from the hands of a qualified emperor.

However, as the Emperor himself said, he has wasted too much time over the years, and when he wants to figure out how to be a qualified emperor, he has not much time.

And...... If he is really a qualified emperor, then he should not be so indecisive and go to great lengths, but when he is dining in the side hall, he should kill him Ye Qing with a cup of poisonous wine, or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight like Shi Miyuan, let Ye Qing fight to the death with Han Yan first, and then come out to clean up the mess by himself.

"I realized it too late, but even now, I'm happy with what I've laid out today. As for Zhaoqing Army and Sui An Army, Ye Qing, do you still have a way? ”

When Emperor Zhao Yan asked Ye Qing about him, he suddenly felt a faint sense of unease.

But for the first time, he was willing to choose to deceive himself, thinking that this was just Ye Qing's words before he died, but when he looked at Ye Qing, who was calm and deep, he denied his judgment in his heart, and finally asked involuntarily.

"The Emperor Taishang knew that the minister only brought 8,000 people back to Lin'an, but these 8,000 people ...... But they were all brave soldiers who fought out of the siege of the Xia people with their ministers in Guanshan. In the north, the Xia people can be ten, and if they face the Zhaoqing army and the Sui'an army, which have not been on the battlefield for many years, the minister said a big thing, within an hour, the minister did not dare to say that the two armies were completely annihilated, but at least they could fight all over the ground to find their teeth and have no power to fight again. What's more, when Emperor Taishang ordered Zhong Qing to tell his ministers to come to the palace today, the ministers had already sent 3,000 soldiers to the official road of Shaoxing Mansion to intercept the arrival of the Zhaoqing army in Lin'an. And the Sui'an army of Jiaxing Mansion ...... The minister has been operating Huainan Road for many years, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou face each other across the river, and it is not very difficult for the minister's hand to stretch out to show favor to the Zhenjiang Jiangyin army. So now, the Jiangyin army has blocked the way for the Sui'an army to reach Lin'an. And now the Emperor Taishang, all you can rely on is the 3,000 people that the minister brought into Lin'an City last night. At this moment, Ye Qing seemed to have merged with the stone tablet engraved with three scarlet characters not far behind him, and his gestures were as if he was pointing out the country, revealing a domineering spirit that looked down on the world.

"Is that true?" Emperor Zhao Yan looked at Ye Qing in a trance, but Ye Qing at this moment made him feel so real, as if at this moment, Ye Qing, who has the domineering spirit of looking down on the world, is the real side of Ye Qing, who has been entrenched in the north for many years.

"Please ask the Emperor Taishang to give an order, and the ministers will be able to exterminate these traitors led by Han Yanxuan in the palace immediately. And bring the rebellious Han Yanxuan to you to ask for the guilt. Ye Qing turned around, knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Zhao Yan, and said sonorously.

Ye Qing's words sounded in the ears of the Emperor Taishang, as if there was a trace of Jin Ge's voice, and he nodded subconsciously, and then immediately raised his head a little incredulously.

But almost at this moment, on the other side of the palace, in the night sky that originally seemed somewhat dark, suddenly an arrow sounded, piercing the silent night sky, Han Yanxuan's heart was inexplicably shocked, and he looked up at the calm night sky with a somewhat dazed and uneasy expression.

At the Donghua Gate, the Hening Gate, the Yujin Garden, the Feilai Peak and other neighborhoods, all of a sudden, the torches lit up almost at the same time, like another fire dragon, and began to quickly pounce on the fire dragons that came in from the original Li main gate.
