Chapter 541 Gift-giving
The dense fog on the riverside gradually dispersed with the morning sun, and the true glory of the Qiantang River once again appeared in front of people's eyes.
The dense fog was broken by the sun, and the fishing boats appeared on the river as if out of thin air, lying quietly on the water, waiting to set sail again.
Several Romans, accompanied by Li Heng and two other court officials, Moze, the squire of the household department, and Nie Zishu, the secretary of the city, slowly stepped on the official ship of the city department with two hundred guards of the imperial city division led by Li Heng.
Even if Ye Qing went to the Jin Kingdom, he had never led two hundred Imperial City Guards, and now he was acting within the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou actually acquiesced to Li Heng to bring a full two hundred people to Quanzhou, which is enough to show that this time he went to Quanzhou, or Zhao Gou attached great importance to the Romans such as Na Po Li.
When Li Heng and the others had just boarded the ship, Ye Qing, who had not been to the Imperial City Division of Wuyi Lane for a long time, reappeared in the yamen of the Imperial City Division, and the wound on his chest had begun to gradually scar, and from time to time there was an itch and discomfort, which always made people want to reach out and scratch him.
While drinking tea with Wang Lun, while listening to Wang Lun convey Zhao Gou's will, when he heard that Zhao Gou's attitude had changed towards him now, the smile on Ye Qing's face took on a slight smug look.
Wang Lun smelled the fragrance of tea and sighed again and again that it was good tea, Ye Qing was not stingy, and the martial judge next to him immediately walked out of the room, and after a while, he carried a bag of tea in his hand and put it in Wang Lun's hand.
"You are really, you still come to the Imperial City Division to rub this little bit of tea, do you also want to go to the Imperial City Division to drink tea?" Ye Qing watched Wang Lun finish explaining his business, and couldn't help but tease when he looked at the bag full of tea.
"At this time and that time, the old man was single at the beginning, and the money in his hand was naturally of little use, but now it is different, and the province has to save some money." Since Wang Lun lived the life of an ordinary person with Ling Niang, he began to call himself an old man in front of Ye Qing.
"Ling Niang still lacks your little tea money?" Ye Qing pursed his lips and asked in disbelief.
"That's not it, it's just that I recently wanted to replace a better house, so this is a little tighter. The old man is also a person who has children, no matter what, he has to think about his son's future, right? Wang Lun also had a hint of smugness on his face, as if Ling Niang's son named Wang Zhong was born to him.
Holding back Wang Lun's joke about independent property rights, he followed Wang Lun's topic and asked: "Change to another workshop, or are you still in Jingle Fang?" But how much? ”
As is the case with people, desires and ambitions are never satisfied, and as you have more and more things, you want more and more.
When you are homeless, you will want to have a house that is impermeable and rainless, but when you have such a house, you will hope that you can add two or three more houses to change the quality of life.
And with the addition of two or three houses, desires and ambitions begin to wonder whether they should buy a small courtyard to cultivate their temperament.
There are not many things that eunuchs can pass on to their descendants, most people will choose to spend their lives with the attitude of having wine and getting drunk today, money is not very important to them, no heirs, no wives, and they don't know who will be cheaper when they are left.
And people like Wang Lun who have "wives" and "sons" are different, as they become more and more like normal people, their hearts will become more and more materialistic, and they want more and more things to show themselves and prove themselves.
As Wang Lun took the silver ticket into his arms and left with the bag of tea satisfied, Ye Qing, who had been sending it to the gate of the Imperial City Division with Wu Juan and Mo Xiaobao, turned his head and said to Mo Xiaobao: "The same number of silver tickets will also be sent to Guan Li today." ”
Wu Juan and Mo Xiaobao were stunned, although Guan Li also had a "wife" like Wang Lun, Guan Li didn't seem to open this mouth.
"Shaoqing......." Mo Xiaobao wanted to remind Ye Qing that there was no need to take the initiative to send it to the door.
"Don't talk nonsense, Guan Li is different from Wang Lun, this guy is thin-skinned, not to mention ...... Forget it, you'll just send it to him in a moment. When Ye Qing thought of Guan Li, he couldn't help but think of Wang Deqian, another personal eunuch next to the Holy Lord Zhao Yan.
Although Wang Deqian has a good relationship with the Yan family because of the relationship between the queen, Wang Deqian has always been displeasing to Ye Qing, just like Ye Qing disagrees with Wang Deqian, and they both feel that they seem to have that kind of ...... Potentially hostile.
Involuntarily thinking about Wang Deqian's affairs, he slowly looked up at Wu Ju, and without waiting for him to speak, he listened to Wu Ju say: "Just tell me anything." ”
"Do you know why you haven't been allowed to go back to Sizhou?" Ye Qing silently glanced at the martial judge and said.
Wu Juan shook his head, saying that he didn't know what Ye Qing meant by this move.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to experience that the Imperial City Division of Lin'an is different from the Imperial City Division of Sizhou, compared to what the Imperial City Division does in Sizhou, it is all on the surface, in Lin'an City, the Imperial City Division is a yamen who specializes in doing things secretly. In the future, Sizhou may become more and more complicated because of the Jin people, so you should experience it here. Ye Qing was about to turn around and walk towards the Imperial City Division, when he saw a carriage speeding towards the alley of Wuyi, where there were few iron hooves on weekdays.
"You'd better just say it, don't go around in circles, okay?" Wu Juan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I suddenly felt that it was not enough to give Guan Li money, and I had to prepare a big gift for him. In this way, there is also a very trusted eunuch named Wang Deqian in front of the saint ....... Ye Qing watched the speeding carriage in the alley finally slow down as it approached the Imperial City Division.
Without waiting for Ye Qing to turn his gaze towards the carriage and continue to speak, Wu Juan said directly: "I understand, I just secretly check this Wang Deqian to see if I can clear the obstacles for Guan Li." ”
"When did you become so smart?" Ye Qing frowned and said "seriously".
"If you want to say that the stupid general admitted it before, but since I have been with you in the Xia Kingdom for so long, and I have stopped in Lin'an for so long, if you don't open your mind, the last general will have to pull out a knife and wipe his neck." Wu Juan also said with a hint of pride on his face.
"Don't be too demanding, things can not be done, but you must not let people notice it, otherwise we will all have to walk around without eating." Ye Qing said like a military judge.
Wu Juan was able to react quickly without waiting for Ye Qing to finish speaking, in addition to the enlightenment that had been taught by Ye Qing recently, it was what Zhu Xi said to Wu Juan and Lin Guangchao when he was in the Imperial City Division last night, so that Wu Juan immediately understood what Ye Qing meant.
The reason for the Miao Liu mutiny was obviously not only because Zhao Gou was cowardly and only wanted to be in a corner of peace and slack off to resist Jin, but also because Zhao Gou favored the eunuchs and ministers, which aroused the anger of Miao and Liu, the military generals who accompanied the guards, and finally launched the mutiny.
Wang Deqian, the righteous son of Wang Yuan, a powerful minister by Zhao Gou's side, and Wang Yuan's so-called "After Zhao Gou's southward Lin'an" was broken, he actually used most of the ships to avoid Zhao Gou's sight to transport the gold and silver treasures he had looted.
After the incident, perhaps adhering to the rules of meeting and dividing half of the rivers and lakes, so after Wang Yuan made such a mistake, he was not severely punished by Zhao Gou, and nominally seemed to be exempted from the official position of Wang Yuan's privy envoy, but in fact, within a few days, Zhao Gou ordered Wang Yuan, who was demoted to the same Privy Council, to preside over the military and political affairs of the Privy Council, which really provoked Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan.
Therefore, Wu Ju was able to comprehend Ye Qing's meaning at once, which obviously had a great relationship with the secret of the mutiny that Zhu Xi said last night.
Wu Juan looked at the people who got down from the carriage, and then looked at the coachman and couldn't help but be surprised, even Ye Qing, who was about to turn around and enter the Imperial City Division, couldn't help but turn around again, and after looking at a foot that fell on the horse's pedal, he hurriedly walked down the steps quickly.
"Chen Yeqing has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ye Qing and Wu Juan hurriedly saluted after the prince got out of the car.
"There's no need to be polite, I came here today because I had something important to discuss with Shaoqing." The crown prince Zhao Dian looked up at the three gilded characters of the Imperial City Division above his head, and said lightly.
"Then the prince is please." Ye Qing looked at the back of the carriage, there was no one else, and the two brothers Zuo Yu and Left Foot acted as coachmen and brought Zhao Dian over.
In the study of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Dan, the current prince, naturally sat in the position that Ye Qing sat on weekdays, looking at the military judge who had been standing aside, Ye Qing immediately understood, and signaled that the military judge could be busy.
As Wu Juan left and closed the door, Zhao Dan's expression in the room was a little more relaxed and excited than just now.
"Lone just came out of the palace and came to you, Lone thought that you probably wouldn't run an errand in Dali Temple, after all, there is still Dali Temple there, and you are the only commander of the Imperial City Division, so Lone guessed...... You Ye Qing must be in the Imperial City Division, not Dali Temple. Zhao Dan's expression was a hint of pride, as if he had guessed how great Ye Qing's matter in the Imperial City Division was, and it seemed that his mind was extremely clever and changeable.
"Your Highness is really wise and thoughtful, which is very difficult for people to achieve." Ye Qing said with admiration on his face: "Actually, His Royal Highness can send someone to order the minister, so why bother you to run this trip yourself, which makes the minister really flattered." ”
"That's what I said, but the so-called gentleman also wants to be a corporal of courtesy, isn't it? What's more, Lone now regards you as Lone's right-hand man, and it is not too much to say that he is a confidant. Zhao Dian looked at Ye Qing and motioned for him to sit down and speak, and unconsciously, he also put himself in the position of the king, as if he was now the saint of the Great Song Dynasty.
Ye Qing didn't know if the prince in front of him was ignorant of the world, or if he deliberately said some words of divine grace to win him over, or was it ...... With these simple words, how low is your IQ?
