"What do you think?" Zhao Gou looked at the names of the three people he had written by himself, and suddenly looked up at Wang Lun and asked.

The slave did not dare to criticize. The slave doesn't understand. Wang Lun hurriedly bent down and saluted, in exchange for Zhao Gou's reassuring and confident smile.

Ignoring Wang Lun anymore, Zhao Gou continued to set his eyes on the three names, Shi Miyuan was ranked first by him, and Han Yanxuan was ranked second, under the gaze of Wang Lun's afterglow, Zhao Gou, who sighed slightly, still put Ye Qing's name behind Shi and Han.

"What is the matter with the Dali envoys? When will you arrive in Lin'an? Zhao Gou continued to stare at the names of the three people and asked.

"After the Yuan Day, it will come before the Yuan Festival. The road is long, and the situation in Dali is tense now, so I am afraid that they will be slower on the road. Wang Lun replied respectfully.

Zhao Gou nodded with satisfaction, and then wrote the word "Cao" on the side of Shi Miyuan's name, and then wrote the word "Bing" on the side of Han Yanxuan's name.

Looking at the only remaining word Ye Qing, some hesitation appeared again in Zhao Gou's expression, but in the end, he slowly put down his pen and wrote down the word "exploration".

Watching Zhao Gou finish writing the last stroke, Wang Lun's secretly pinched heart finally let go, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief for Ye Qing.

Shi Miyuan's Cao character naturally represents Cao Yun, but also represents the grain and grass of the garrison army and other related matters, and for Han Yanzhou's military character, it is naturally easier to understand, and it can be regarded as Zhao Gou's here, clarifying the identity of Han Yanzhou's first military general in the Great Song Dynasty.

As for Ye Qing's word "exploration", after Zhao Gou hesitated and weighed it, he was finally willing to fulfill the current saint Zhao Yan, but he still pressed Ye Qing on the three-point land of the imperial city division.

Shi Miyuan led Cao Yun This is obviously Zhao Gou's favorite thing, Han Yanxuan led the army to unify the army, fortunately, the relationship between the Han family and the royal family, plus his Zhao Gou and Taizu's legacy, the Han family is also not afraid and can be used.

And if Ye Qing wants to use it, and he can't reuse this person, then he must not be able to lead the army like Han Yanxuan, Jin Guo and his party are enough to make people see clearly, this son's general talent is no less than Han Yanxuan, but this son's mind is difficult to figure out.

Therefore, if once the Holy Lord intends to go on a northern expedition, then this son can neither lead the army nor abandon it, then only in the Imperial City Division, continue to do the things of stepping on white, meticulous work, and scouting, which can be regarded as minimizing Ye Qing's potential harm.

"How's Jiankang doing?" Zhao Gou raised his head again, looked at Wang Lun and asked.

"All three loses." Wang Lun replied succinctly.

From Zhao Gou's expression, Wang Lun could clearly know that Zhao Gou was quite satisfied with Jiankang's results.

Between the Han family and Ye Qing, they will never join forces against others in the future, Shi Miyuan and the Han family will never join forces, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, naturally, there is no possibility of joining forces.

The open and secret struggle between the three of them has finally reached the point where they are incompatible and contain each other, so that even if these three people are reused, the royal family can sit back and relax, and they are not afraid that someone will be able to endanger the Zhao and Song clans.

As long as Shi Miyuan thought about it, when he rushed to the shore of Xuanwu Lake and saw Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan looking at the lake in a daze, he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times.

After all, people are not as good as heaven, Han Yanxuan and Ye Qing killed the defenders of the North Fence Gate to blame themselves, making their trip to Jiankang in vain, and now I am afraid that it will be difficult to get any benefits.

And he Han Yanxuan has not been too old until now, not only has to bear the responsibility for the death of Princess Xin with Ye Qing, but also has to be held accountable by the court for the responsibility of going to Lin'an without permission.

As for Ye Qing, not to mention, if Princess Xin dies, will the royal family let him go? Although it is said that Han Yanxuan is also responsible, the main problem is caused by his Ye Qing's poor protection, so when he Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, he will not escape being reprimanded and punished by the Emperor Taishang.

Only Zhao Ruyu, although he was not able to heartily avenge the death of his wife, but it can be regarded as an old hatred for many years, and it can be said that he is the only winner of Jiankang Bank.

The death of Zhong Kang and his wife and Zhong Kang's eldest brother Zhong Lin was a cannibalism between other brothers, obviously Zhao Ruyu is impossible, and he does not have the courage to do anything to King Xin, Princess Xin, who could have made him happy to vent his anger, even jumped into the lake to find a short meeting, so Zhao Ruyu, the winner, can only be regarded as half a winner at most.

So in the Jiankang competition before the first day of this trip, there were no winners, only the three of them who originally thought that they would become winners The unlucky ones turned out to be losers, and after returning to Lin'an, they had to wait for the court to question and punish them.

Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan's eyes stared at Li Zhixiao, the supervising imperial historian behind Shi Miyuan, although the two of them were not afraid of Li Zhixiao's impeachment in the court, but it was always an extremely annoying thing.

Ye Qing, who had just escaped from the murder of Fan Niande, knew better than anyone how annoying these imperial histories who relied on wind and words and killed people with their mouths were.

And Han Yanxuan is obviously not willing to let the imperial history target him, if they let them blatantly impeach him above the court for returning to Lin'an privately, I am afraid that in the next year and a half, he will not want to do anything, and he will be annoyed by these imperial historians impeachment and surveillance every day.

"Zhao Ruyu has already taken King Xin, Zhong Ping and others back to Lin'an early this morning, if the two of them continue to stay in Jiankang, I'm afraid that the court will be even more dissatisfied, right? Of course, it doesn't matter if you leave two days late, you can still catch up with Lin'an to spend the first day with your family on the way. Behind Shi Miyuan stood Li Zhixiao, and he was sitting, looking at Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan diagonally opposite, and said easily.

Even if the three of them sit at the same table, they are separated from each other by a corresponding distance, and they have always maintained a triangle-like posture between the three of them.

"Didn't you leave the first time? How? Afraid that the court will ask you for killing the defenders of the North Fence Gate? With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Han Yanxuan asked disdainfully.

"Han Yanxuan, who did this, you and I know ...... in our hearts." Shi Miyuan's face changed instantly, and he slapped the table depressedly.

"Since you are upright and not afraid of shadows, then you can go back first, right?" Ye Qing picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip.

"I ......." Shi Miyuan looked at the meaning of Ye and Han to join forces, suddenly laughed, leaned back in the chair and said, "The two of you asked me to come over, wouldn't it be just to joke and joke that someone from me fell for you?" ”

"Maybe Lord Ye hopes that Princess Xin will swim out of Xuanwu Lake, but it's not certain, since last night's incident, the Imperial City Division has blocked the North Fence Gate and Xuanwu Lake, and even Zhongshan has been blocked by you, Ye Qing, people can't be resurrected after death, if they can be found, they should be found last night." Han Yanxuan glanced at Ye Qing obliquely, and did not forget to fall into the stone path of the well.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you two." Ye Qing pushed the empty teacup forward, and directly pointed at Li Zhixiao, who was standing behind Shi Miyuan, and said: "Let's be straight, what conditions can make you no longer impeach me in the court, and I don't have to protect Princess Xin." ”

"What does Lord Ye think? Do you think that if Li Yushi is not impeached, the imperial court will not know? Shi Miyuan began to ponder the chips in his heart and said lightly.

"Regardless of whether the imperial court knows it or not, I, Han Yanxuan, rushed back to Lin'an from Lizhou Road and never arrived in Jiankang." Han Yanxuan put his hands on the table, and also looked at Li Zhixiao again.

"The three of us have a handle in each other's hands, we all take a step back, Jiankang is over in Jiankang, once out of the city, Jiankang will be forgotten, as for how the court will treat the three of us, it depends on their respective abilities, see how their strength is in the court?" Shi Miyuan looked at Ye and Han and spoke first.

"Everyone wants to have a festive New Year's Day, if the matter of Jiankang is made in Lin'an, I, Han Yanxuan, promise the two of you, no one should think about a peaceful New Year's Day. As for what the court will do after the Yuan Day, then it depends on your ability to see if there is anyone in the court who is willing to speak for you, how about it? Han Yanxuan's gaze wandered back and forth on Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan.

"As a wealthy family, there are people in the court, and you have the confidence to speak. Since I, Ye Qing, have experienced it once, are I afraid of going through it again? The gentleman ...... a word. Ye Qing also put one hand on the table, looking at Han and Shi.

"It's hard to chase a horse."

Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan glanced at each other, and then sneered in unison.

"Since that's the case, then Shi will take the first step." Shi Miyuan got up and looked at Han and Ye, and now, the battle between Han and Ye can be regarded as the real beginning.

And Shi Miyuan also believes that there will be no chance for Han Yanxuan and Ye Qing to join forces in the court in the future, and there will never be another thing like the last time, when Han Cheng will help Ye Qing speak above the court.

As Shi Miyuan led people away, there were four people left in the room, Han Yanxuan and Ye Qing were left, Mo Xiaobao stood behind Ye Qing silently, Wu Lie stood behind Han Yanxuan silently, and as the two waved their hands, Mo Xiaobao and Wu Lie also walked out of the room quickly.

Han Yanxuan looked at the door that was closed again, slowly got up and walked to the window, opened half of the window, watched Shi Miyuan's figure leave, and said in a low voice: "I originally thought that you and I could join forces in the court for many years, but now it seems that it has become my extravagant hope." ”

"The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other." Ye Qing turned the teacup with his fingers and said lightly with a smile.

"Whether it is what you do in the Jin country or what you do in the Xia country, I admire it very much. When I went to Lanzhou to pick you up without knowing from the imperial court, it was for the sake of you Ye Qingnai that you are a real anti-gold hero. I just can't think of it...... Before I can return to Lin'an, you Ye Qing will forget all this. Han Yanxuan slowly turned around and faced Ye Qingdao with a solemn expression.

Ye Qing looked at Han Yanxuan, who had a solemn expression and was somewhat distressed, and smiled, but did not speak.

Han Yanxuan sighed slightly, walked to the table and sat down, poured tea for the two of them, and continued: "The court is a purgatory full of deceit and thorns. What about Xiao Zhen, the prefect of Lin'an? He was supposed to become the secretary of the military department, but in the end? Isn't it because he has been neutral in the court for many years that he let Liuzheng take advantage of the loophole? Today's military squire Xin renounces illness, a contemptuous identity of a reformer, isn't it also difficult to move step by step, being ostracized everywhere, and can't become a climate? ”

"But at least live, don't you?" Ye Qing held the steaming teacup and continued to smile.

"So what, when a good man enters the court, he should take the world as his ambition. But what can Xin do if he abandons his illness and lives? The cynicism and hatred of Jin Ren under the depression, all the ideals and ambitions can only be watched as he grows old, and cannot be displayed. You are a smart person, since you know that Mingzhe protects yourself, you should know that standing on the right team, not only can you save your life, but also be able to display your ambitions, go into battle to kill the enemy, and regain lost territory. ”

"I just want to live simply, even now, I have only one goal, and that is to live. I have seen too much of the things above the court, the dark side of officialdom, and I Ye Qing is conceited more than you know. The saying that a companion is like a tiger is even three points more thorough than you. So, being alive is stronger for me than any ambition. Dead, but there is nothing, alive, everything is still possible. Ye Qing's last sentence was inexplicably meaningful.

Han Yanxuan smiled, knocked on the table, motioned to Ye Qing, who was holding the teapot, to pour him tea, and then said: "It's hard to support alone, if you want to create a world above the court by yourself, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky." But...... If you just want to live and be a shrunken turtle above the court, it is not a bad idea. When I was a teenager, I joined the army, and I couldn't wait to kill all the gold thieves, recover my Great Song Dynasty, and wash away the humiliation for the two saints of that year. Then he was crowned the king and greeted, and achieved the wisdom of the man. ”

"Xin Qiji, the squire of the military department, should also come to an end, right?" Ye Qing poured tea for Han Yanxuan and asked.

"Yes, Zhu Xi was imprisoned by you once, King Xin fell into the hands of Zhao Ruyu, and Xin Qiji's official fortune in Lin'an came to an end. No one wants to get into trouble because of this. Therefore, even if the saints have a lot of appreciation, but ...... The literati are too heavy to make a big deal. Han Yanxuan's tone was sonorous and powerful, pointing directly at Xin Qiji's weakness.

"Zhu Xi left his hometown, and he will come back sooner or later." Ye Qing sipped the tea and said lightly: "You and Xin Qiji are both squires in the military department, if Xin Qiji comes down, you should have the final say in the military department, Liu Zhengzhi is not in the army, Lin'an and Liangzhi County, the grades are the same as Xiao Zhen, so it is the imperial court to promote for good." Staying in the county from the county to the military department is just to occupy a position for some people, and now it's time to move the nest, right? ”

"Isn't Tobe pregnant too? Today's Dali Temple, Lu Zujian, is afraid that he is also starting to endanger himself, right? Han Yanxuan smiled and said lightly.

"Let's talk about the conditions." Ye Qing also laughed.

"Shi Miyuan." Han Yanxuan said extremely simply.

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he picked up the teacup and said, "I respect you." ”

"In the future, I am afraid that you and I will never have the time to drink tea as kindly as today." Han Yanxuan raised his glass to meet it, and the two teacups collided in the air, making a crisp sound.
