Li Lifang saw the handwritten letter sent by the queen Li Fengniang, but he was a little at a loss for a while.

He had always believed that Ye Qing would definitely be able to escape tonight, but now Queen Li Fengniang actually asked him to arrest Xie Shenfu and enter Dali Temple now, which ...... What is Ye Qing's situation in the palace now, few people don't know, but obviously, the queen's side can't wait to avenge Ye Qing, I'm afraid that after this, it won't take long to rehabilitate Ye Qing, right?

But since it was the queen's intention, Li Lifang naturally had no intention of disobeying, and gave up the sedan chair on weekdays, but took a carriage to follow the guards of the palace front division and walked in the direction of Xie Shenfu's mansion.

At this moment, at the Jiahui Gate, attention has been focused on Han Yanxuan, who was waiting for the Zhaoqing Army and the Sui'an Army to arrive in Lin'an, and when he learned that Li Lifang had brought people from the mansion to Xie Shenfu's mansion, the corners of his mouth instantly showed a happy smile.

"This is obviously what the queen meant, and she can't wait to avenge Ye Qing. Don't bother with them, let alone ...... Even if the queen and Li Lifang didn't ask Xie Shenfu for their crimes, after these few days, Xie Shenfu should have been dismissed by the imperial court and sent by the Lin'an pacification envoy, and now he is just a ghost for the dead. Han Yan waved his hand, now he is more inclined to join forces with the Emperor Taishang and get rid of Ye Qing tonight first.

As for Xie Shenfu, in his eyes, there is no comparison with Ye Qing at all, as long as Ye Qing is eliminated tonight, then tomorrow in the court, it will be up to him to decide, and at that time, the Emperor Taishang will no longer care about Xie Shenfu's life or death.

Han Yanxuan was wishful thinking at the Jiahui Gate, Shi Miyuan also pricked up his ears in the mansion, listening to all kinds of movements in Lin'an, as Ye Qing temporarily forced him to the surface, and then after Ye Qing entered the palace today, Shi Miyuan once again quietly disappeared into the shadows.

He even had some suspicions, tonight the Emperor Taishang was not just going to get rid of Ye Qing, even Han Yanxuan was probably in the Emperor's calculations.

Once the Zhaoqing Army and the Sui'an Army arrived at Lin'an City tonight, and Qian Xiangzu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, went to the southwest again, it means that Han Yanxuan's strength in Lin'an is only a few hundred people in the Guards Division.

Therefore, in Shi Miyuan's opinion, who is the knife in the hands of the Emperor Taishang and used to kill Ye Qing between Xie Shenfu and Han Yanxuan, at least he is more inclined to be Han Yanxuan now.

After all, it is obviously more convincing to let Han Yanxuan bear the death of Ye Qing than Xie Shenfu to put aside the relationship with the court and the royal family.

"The crime of unjustly killing Ye Qing, the so-called loyal and good, ......." Shi Miyuan stroked his fat chin, shook his head with a meaningful smile, and said, "In my opinion, Han Yanxuan is obviously more suitable than Xie Shenfu to bear this charge." What's more, above today's court, Ye Qing also impeached Han Yanxuan in front of hundreds of officials through the matter of Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang, because Ye Qing's impeachment in the court today was enough to be used by the Emperor Taishang as the motive for Han Yanxuan to kill Ye Qing. At that time, the Emperor Taishang could even pretend to shed a few tears for Ye Qing, and then blame Han Yanxuan for all the crimes. It is not only to kill people with a knife, but also to kill two birds with one stone, to get rid of the two henchmen of the imperial court, the heroes of the north, and to keep the armies of the north from falling into turmoil, and because of the fact that the emperor killed Han Yanxuan to avenge Ye Qing, let the officials and soldiers in the north be grateful to the court. ”

Zheng Qingzhi has been in a state of panic since his son was arrested yesterday, and listening to Shi Miyuan's analysis at this moment, his heart instantly became a lot more stable, and he had a sense of clarity that cleared the clouds and saw the sun.

According to Shi Miyuan's analysis, in fact, tonight is more like a struggle between Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, and in the end, it will be the Emperor Taishang who sits in the palace to end the game, convict Han Yanxuan, and grieve for Ye Qing's death, so that he can also make his various actions win the favor of the officials and soldiers in the north to the imperial court, and vent all the dissatisfaction of Ye Qing being killed on the dead person Han Yanxuan.

"Wouldn't such an adult be able to make a profit...... Zheng Qingzhi thought about it and said.

"The battle between the court has always been full

Full of variables, Ye Qing will never sit idly by, as can be seen from his various actions when he returned to Lin'an...... At the beginning, Ye Qing forced us to the open, and then I bluntly said that I wanted to get rid of Han Yanxuan. Now from Ye Qing's point of view, he is actually approaching his original plan to get rid of Han Yanxuan. But he ...... How could he get out of it himself? That's what I don't understand, and I don't know if he has any other way to protect himself. It is precisely because of this that I promised Ye Qing in today's court that my agreement with him will always be valid until the sun rises tomorrow. Shi Miyuan continued to stroke his fat chin, he really couldn't think of any way for Ye Qing to come out of the palace unharmed tonight.

"Will it ......?" Zheng Qingzhi pondered and asked, "Could it be that Ye Qing relied on the eight thousand men and horses he brought back to Lin'an?" ”

Shi Miyuan shook his head thoughtfully and denied: "Most of his people are outside the city, although there are also his people in the city, but I'm afraid the number will not be too many. And Ye Qing ...... The people who are still outside the city are probably just to prevent the Zhaoqing army and the Sui'an army from coming to the city, right? ”

"He ......." Zheng Qing was stunned, and said with some disapproval: "Master Shi, please forgive the officials for being blunt, it is true that Ye Qing's troops are strong and strong, but if you only rely on a few thousand people, you want to resist the two armies of Zhaoqing and Sui'an, is this a bit too big?" ”

"I don't know, Ye Qing is an expert in marching and fighting, and he has not fought or won a war with a huge disparity in troops. But unless he really wants to rebel, or is it ...... He has the ability to convince the Emperor Taishang, so that the Emperor Taishang may be able to give up killing him, and only target Han Yanxuan alone. Shi Miyuan analyzed with a solemn expression.

"Then if Ye Qing doesn't die, wouldn't it be your lordship, you ...... above the court." Zheng Qingzhi was worried about Shi Miyuan, after all, if Ye Qing didn't die, it would be difficult for Shi Miyuan to talk about being an independent court.

"Definitely." Shi Miyuan shook his head thoughtfully and said, "Ye Qing has already made it clear that he doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the court, let alone ...... Even if Ye Qing died, under the position of Qian Xiangzu, Bi Zaiyu, and Li Lifang, it would be difficult for me to be independent of the court for a while, and everything would take time. But if Ye Qing is alive, even if he is not involved in the political affairs of the court, but because of his existence, it will be difficult for me to move the money Xiangzu and a few people, which means that the military department, Dali Temple, and criminal department are all in his hands. ”

"Ye Zhujun, are you in charge?" Zheng Qingzhi asked cautiously with his fingers crossed.

"If Ye Qing survives tonight, this will be the case in the court, if Ye Qing doesn't survive tonight, above the court, it will take us a few years to clear and suppress Qian Xiangzu's dissidents. In short, whether Ye Qing lives or dies, for us, it is better than letting Han Yanxuan live. Even if Shi Miyuan was unwilling, but at this stage, he knew that if he was too greedy for merit, he would probably put everything he had been dormant into tonight's battle.

So no matter what, he can only follow Ye Qing's footsteps now, watching Ye Qing open up the court road for himself in front of him, and as for Ye Qing, he will either die on the way to open up the court road, or reach the end with him, and then divide the court equally.

There are always many, many hidden things in this world, which are becoming more and more mysterious and evil under the accumulation of time.

It's like no one knows what kind of conversation Qin Hui had with Yue Fei when he was unjustly killed in the Fengbo Pavilion, and no one knows how much Zhao Gou revealed his true feelings when he saw Yue Fei for the last time, and what his inner feelings were.

But Ye Qing always felt that he seemed to be the person who could best understand Yue Fei's feelings in the world at this moment, and similarly, the Emperor Zhao Yan opposite him should also be the king whose mood was most similar to that of Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou at this moment.

"The minister is not Yue Fei back then, and he has never had the foolish loyalty to the court like General Yue back then

There is a lot of disrespect in Ting, and presumably the emperor has always been in his throat because of these, and he is unhappy without vomiting. The reason why Danchen did this was just to be able to survive. In the eyes of the world, or in the eyes of the courtiers, as a minister, loyalty to the court should be regarded as more important than life, but in the eyes of the minister, without life, there is no loyalty to the court. Right and wrong, loyalty or treachery, our contemporaries cannot make objective judgments, and future generations ...... It is also impossible to make objective and fair judgments. Therefore, the minister has always believed that as long as people are alive, there is always a way to prove their loyalty to the court, and there is always a way to make the people of the world believe that they are loyal to the court. It's the so-called ....... ”

Ye Qing looked at Emperor Zhao Yan, who was silently staring at him at the moment, and sighed slightly: "As the saying goes: my life is up to me, not to the sky." At the beginning, I was able to return to Lin'an with nine deaths when I was in the Jin Kingdom, and I was able to chase and intercept the Guanshan Xia people and escape. From then on, the lives of the ministers ...... It no longer belongs to anyone, but to the ministers themselves. Zhao Ruyu's death was really self-inflicted, but the minister still had a trace of conscience, and he knew that Liuzheng was my great Song Dongliang, so the minister never touched him. Over the years, the minister has been disrespectful to the royal family and the court, but what the minister has done is worthy of heaven and earth and conscience. The minister doesn't care about the name behind him, he doesn't care about the infamy of history, he only cares about whether he can live. ”

"Qing wants to resist the order?" Zhao Yan sighed, the bright torches at the Jiahui Gate are getting denser and denser at the moment, standing at the Dianjiangtai and looking at it, it is like a sea of fire, and it is beginning to rush towards the palace in an orderly manner from the main gate of Li at this moment.

"With just Han Yanxuan's people in the Guards, does the Emperor Taishang think he can put his ministers to death?" Ye Qing's gaze was slightly deep, and he also looked at the sea of fire that was gathering more and more in Jiahui Gate and asked.

"You are gone, I will avenge you, kill Han Yanxuan, and give an explanation to the people of the world, the officials of the Northland, and the soldiers. In this way, it will not let the Northland territory that Qing has worked so hard to fight fall into a situation of scattered sand, and Qing can also be free of concern, right? I know that the Holy Lord and the Queen have a great friendship with you, and even between you and the Queen...... Coupled with the death of King Xin and the death of Zhao Ruyu of the clan, Zhong Qing was occupied by you...... Ye Qing, the face of the royal family has long been trampled under your feet, and the world and the Great Song Dynasty are ...... I can't tolerate you being so presumptuous anymore! Now I have given you dignity and preserved the honor of loyalty and goodness, and I have been the ...... of benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Kechen just wants to live, grow old with his family, and watch his children grow ......up day by day." Ye Qing was shocked, he couldn't imagine that in the heart of the Emperor Taishang, his resentment towards himself was so heavy, of course, he didn't expect that the Emperor Taishang had already seen the matter between him and the queen.

"I believe that the Holy Lord and the Empress will never let them suffer the slightest grievance in my Great Song Dynasty, and your life will bring them more danger and uneasiness." Zhao Yan turned his head and frowned, looking at Ye Qing with some displeasure.

"Eight thousand soldiers in the north can be worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Emperor Taishang thinks that relying on those rabbles of Han Yanxuan, he can put his vassals to death tonight?" Ye Qing took a deep breath, originally wanted to save some face for each other, but now ...... Obviously, the monarch and the ministers are already going to completely tear their faces, and even polite words are saved.

"I summoned Zhong Qing into the Lonely Mountain that day and asked her to send you a decree three days later, when I summoned you here, I had already mobilized the Zhaoqing Army and the Sui'an Army to rush to Lin'an City today. Ye Qing, it's not that I don't care about you and me, but what you've done over the years can't make the court tolerate it anymore. I'm old, no one knows how long I can live, and you...... It's a piece of my heart disease, I don't want to take this piece of heart disease into the coffin, I don't want to take Emperor Gaozong back then because of my thoughts, and I couldn't get rid of the big trouble that came soon after Emperor Gaozong. ”

Zhao Yan raised his head, looked at Ye Qing with a solemn and firm expression, and continued to say slowly: "I'm old, I don't have much time left, and it doesn't make much sense to be a day earlier or a day later." Ye Qing, in this way, you can know that my determination tonight will never change! ”

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Yan in front of him in disbelief, he obviously didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Yan was actually ready to die with him.
