Chapter 787: Instigation
Since Zhao Ruyu returned to Lin'an, Liuzheng was able to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department, and naturally there was no lack of Zhao Ruyu's help.
And Li Lifang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, had already begun to covet the position of the secretary of the criminal department before Li Fengniang entered the palace and became the queen, although afterwards because of Ye Qing's dissuasion, Li Lifang's mind was somewhat restrained, but it did not mean that Li Lifang's heart no longer coveted the position of the secretary of the criminal department.
So now that he has such a good opportunity, he can beat around the bush and attack Zhao Ruyu, how can Li Lifang give up? What's more, this opportunity was provided by Ye Qing for him, so he was naturally even more reluctant to miss it.
Today's Li Lifang, if he wants to enter the palace, it is naturally much more convenient than at the beginning, because of the relationship between the queen, even if he enters the palace's forbidden harem, he can make him feel like no one, and no one dares to stop him.
Li Lifang, who walked out of the palace and Ningmen again, looked at his carriage, and then looked at the carriage next to him with some doubts, only to see that the curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and it was Zhong Qing who appeared in the carriage.
Li Lifang, who was curious in his heart, looked around and no one paid attention to him, and then walked to the front of the car, with a smile on his face, looked at Zhong Qing and said, "Mrs. Ye won't be waiting for Li here, right?" ”
Zhong Qing smiled slightly, and said lightly without denying it: "Zhong Qing now lives in Gushan, since he appeared in Heningmen, he naturally has something to discuss with Li Shangshu." ”
"You? Looking for me? Li Lifang was a little unclear about what kind of medicine was sold in Zhong Qing's gourd.
"Could you please explain in detail Li Shangshu Yipinlou?" Zhong Qing asked calmly.
Li Lifang thought for a while, nodded silently, and after saying a word to lead the way, he walked straight to his carriage.
As the two carriages walked towards Yujie one after the other, Li Lifang, who was following Zhong Qing's carriage, began to wonder in his mind, whether Zhong Qing came to him because of her own affairs, or because of Ye Qing's affairs? Or, is it a matter with the queen, let yourself talk?
Although Li Lifang has never participated in the affairs of the Jiankang Zhong family at the beginning, it does not mean that he does not know the twists and turns of the grievances, naturally, he also knows that there is still hatred and resentment between Zhao Ruyu and Zhong Qing.
For Zhong Qing, all his family died because of Zhao Ruyu's revenge back then, even if he didn't mention King Xin, Zhong Qing also had enough reasons to find Zhao Ruyu to avenge his parents, otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain.
Tao Qian drove, Wang Lun protected, in Li Lifang's opinion, he was not strange at all, even without Ye Qing's help, even Zhong Qing's status in the royal family is enough to serve the two eunuchs, after all, the Empress Dowager's favorite person now is this woman who has nothing to do with the royal family.
Zhong Qing seems to be used to everything nowadays, so even if she comes out with Tao Qian and Wang Lun, she doesn't feel anything awkward, not to mention, even if she wants to drive these two people away, these two people will always protect her because of Ye Qing's thousands of instructions before leaving, and be wary of Zhao Ruyu or Han Yanxuan who may suddenly appear.
In the private room of Yipinlou, after the guy brought the tea, Tao Qian sent the guy away, and then closed the door, crossed his hands vertically and put them on his lower abdomen, and stood quietly at the door, as if he had fallen asleep standing up.
Li Lifang was still a little surprised by Tao Qian's protection of Zhong Qing, but fortunately, with
Zhong Qing personally made tea and spoke, but Li Lifang's attraction was not too much on Tao Qian.
"Li Shangshu must have not been to Yipinlou for a long time, right? Nowadays, although the tea here is autumn tea, its taste is much more delicious than spring tea. Zhong Qing said while making tea.
"Yipinlou is not interesting." Li Lifang looked up at the roof and said, Discussing these with women, he is not interested at all, not to mention, how can women know the charm of Fengyue places where men have fun.
"Let's just say it, I'm not used to drinking tea like this." Li Lifang looked at the teacup that Zhong Qing had placed in front of him, and said impatiently.
Zhong Qing seemed to see Li Lifang's thoughts, and smiled disapprovingly: "Li Shangshu rest assured, Zhong Qing came to you today, not because of Zhong Qing's personal affairs, but because of Lord Ye's dispatch, so that Zhong Qing asked you if you are still interested in the position of the secretary of the military department." ”
"Ye Qing?" Li Lifang's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, it was true that he wanted to be the secretary of the criminal department, and he had a secret conversation with Ye Qing later, and it was not unacceptable to retreat to the second secretary of the military department, but only Ye Qing knew about this matter: "What did he tell you?" This big mouth, I just think about it. ”
Li Lifang did not deny it, but obviously, in front of Zhong Qing, he was unwilling to tell Zhong Qing his true thoughts before he understood Zhong Qing's intentions.
"Everyone knows that the current military department Shangshu Liuzheng and Zhao Ruyu are the same party, and if Li Shangshu is interested, ......." Zhong Qing continued to say unhurriedly.
"Let Ye Qing come and talk to me, no matter who you are from Ye Qing, I don't believe it, let alone ......." Li Lifang looked at Zhong Qing and sneered, and said, "In a woman's opinion, how can you understand what is going on in the court's political affairs?" ”
"Lord Ye is afraid that he has no time to scruple at this moment." Zhong Qing was still unhurried, shook his head and continued: "After Lord Ye's first day, he will immediately set off for Liao, and Han Yanxuan will also go to the southwest to quell the rebellion against Ziqi and Luodian again after the first day. Can Li Shangshu know these things? ”
"Zhong Qing is a woman, so naturally she can't show her head all day long, but if Lord Ye is sent, Zhong Qing can't care so much. Li Shangshu rest assured, Zhong Qing's mention of Zhao Ruyu is not a private matter. What's more, Zhong Qing and Li Shangshu have no relatives and no reason, and they will not ask Li Shangshu to help in private matters. Zhong Qing said vaguely, but Li Lifang could still hear it, and Zhong Qing's implication was that he was not qualified to help.
"The women of your Ye family, are they all so sharp and can't afford to lose anything?" Li Lifang said after being impatient and reined in a lot.
Bai Chun was also at the beginning, if it weren't for Bai Chun's attitude back then, which was too angry, he wouldn't have been in a hurry and slapped Bai Chun. Now Zhong Qing in front of him, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of Bai Chun's cold shadow at the beginning, and he asks for it so justifiably.
Zhong Qing shook her head with a dumb smile, obviously she didn't expect that Li Lifang's words would change so quickly, and after lowering her head and stopping the smile on the corner of her mouth, Zhong Qing continued: "Then Zhong Qing first apologized to Li Shangshu for the disrespect just now. ”
"Alas...... Forget it, who made you Ye Qing's woman, you can't afford to provoke it. But I still want to make sure, really Ye Qing asked you to talk to me...... Something about it? Li Lifang asked suspiciously.
"Absolutely." After Zhong Qing finished speaking, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Lifang.
I couldn't wait to open the new Li Cube, and after reading it in a hurry, the whole person was really down-to-earth.
"This Ye Qing, what does he want to do? The money allocated by the Ministry of Industry, how can there be a gift to the four roads in the north, and such a document is issued for no reason, and the imperial history will be impeached. Li Lifang frowned and said.
Although the letter mentioned the transfer of silver by the Ministry of Industry, it also mentioned the reason why the post of secretary of the Ministry of Labor would not be guaranteed once Zhao Ruyu had infighting with Han Cheng and Han Yanxuan.
Qian Xiangzu is the secretary of the criminal department, and he is a courtier who is also extremely trusted by the saint and the queen, if it is operated properly, once Liuzheng resigns from the military department, if the saint wants to change his trust, it is no wonder that he will choose between Li Lifang and Qian Xiangzu.
And when the time comes, if you take a trigger and move your whole body, then Li Lifang will have more choice, and the military department, the criminal department, and even the Ministry of Engineering that he is now sending can be selected by him.
Therefore, for Ye Qing, the way to deal with Liu Dexiu is obviously that he can no longer be as low-level as he was when he treated Shi Miyuan's four woods and three murderers, and he can no longer be a crime that he wants to add, which is to kill people and kill his mouth, so as to ensure that this matter is completed.
Now that he is a key member of the DPRK and China with more status and status, if he wants to deal with a person, it is natural to leave no traces and let all the fake things be so fake and true, which is the best way.
What's more, if it is treated with the old routine, it will soon arouse the suspicion of others, after all, the Imperial City Division has done a lot of murder in secret over the years, although it has not been caught, but it has been deeply suspected several times.
Bai Chun nodded thoughtfully, now she is a little tired of these deceits, but she took the initiative to get involved, so looking at Ye Qing at this moment, she suddenly felt a little envious of Yan Qingcheng, although she was also helping Ye Qing to abuse, but at least it didn't seem to be as bloody as what she was doing now.
"What should I do about Zhong Qing?" Bai Chun frowned, looked at Ye Qing, who was also frowning, and continued: "I'm afraid that she won't be able to hold her breath, in case Zhao Ruyu leaks a flaw and leads her to be fooled, in that case, it will be troublesome." ”
Ye Qing smiled bitterly, this is also what he is most worried about, Zhong Qing seems to be gentle and virtuous, but if this girl is twisted up, it is a stubborn character who can't be pulled back by ten cows: "What do you think?" Who in our family can stop her? ”
"You're definitely not going to be able to." Bai Chun said to Ye Qing mercilessly: "It's too late to pet, how can you be willing to say a few words?" Not to mention a reprimand. ”
"Isn't it the same for you?" Ye Qing smiled and said, "Stabilize her first, if not, how about you go back to Lin'an after the Yuan Dynasty?" ”
Whether it is Bai Chun or Ye Qing, in fact, they all know in their hearts that in this family, in the real sense, it is she Bai Chun who can control everyone.
Whether it is Yan Chengcheng or Zhongqing, in front of Bai Chun, although he doesn't see anything unusual on weekdays, but at the critical moment, Bai Chun's boss is undoubtedly revealed.
As for him, Ye Qing...... Forget it, in front of these three women, they only bow their heads and silently do cows and horses, and serve beauties, and they have no right to speak at all.
"Don't wait for the first day, I'll leave tomorrow, it's almost the first day, Zhong Qing is alone in Lin'an, and he must be quite lonely." Bai Chun got up and pushed open the window, looked at the wet and cold night outside, and said.
“……。” Ye Qing wanted to say, you are beautiful, you have the final say, but looking at the slender back, I still feel that the last night of passion is more important.
