With the queen Xie Sufang and Princess Xin seated, in addition to the palace maid and the eunuch in the imperial study, it was Ye Qing who was standing.

It's really uncomfortable to feel like being isolated, especially when one of the people sitting in front of him is the current saint, the other is the queen, and the other is still the princess who has beautiful eyes and worries from time to time, and has some concern and peeks at the wound on his forehead.

Since Zhao Yan was able to rehabilitate Yue Fei when he first ascended the throne, he immediately rehabilitated Yue Fei, although there were many political considerations in it, and his ambition to go on the Northern Expedition was in it.

But in any case, Zhao Yan, the emperor, does not seem to have formed a complete chief and deputy with Zhao Gou, and he still has a lot of autonomy in governing the country and society.

Regarding this year's imperial examination, the appointment of King Xin to supervise and lead the Ministry of Rites to hold this year's imperial examination is enough to see that Zhao Yan's right to speak above the court and the government of Zhao Gou's intervention are actually in a rather delicate balance.

After the performance of the queen and Princess Xin, the confrontation between Ye Qing and Qishi Liezhi today seems to have become one of the most proud things in Zhao Yan's heart during this time.

After all, whether it was because of Zhao Gou's relationship or during the period when the Jin envoy was in Lin'an, Zhao Yan always had a feeling of pressing a big stone on his chest, as if everything was not so smooth, and he had to take into account the feelings of the Jin people everywhere.

And this also made him feel really happy and comfortable since the first year, with the recent departure of the golden envoy, Zhao Yan only felt his authority and majesty as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

But even if he felt unprecedentedly happy because Ye Qing had done something very happy today, he still wouldn't immediately deviate from Zhao Gou's original intention after Zhao Gou reprimanded Ye Qing fiercely, and then appeased Ye Qing.

There is still a difference between the living and the dead, not to mention that Zhao Yan is filial piety to Zhao Gou, even if the reason for filial piety is removed, Zhao Yan, as the emperor, will not let the courtiers see and feel that there is a huge difference between him and Zhao Gou.

And in Zhao Yan's opinion, being able to send Guan Li to wait for him at the gate of Deshou Palace is already a kind of comfort and gift for Ye Qing, a courtier, and if he further rewards Ye Qing, it is obviously not the way of the emperor's power scheme.

Seeing that Queen Xie Sufang and Princess Xin looked a little regretful, what Zhao Yan could do now was to care about Ye Qing from another aspect, so as to make the Queen and Princess Xin satisfied.

Therefore, Zhao Yan looked at Ye Qing standing in front of him, and the topic naturally shifted from today's matter with Qishi Liezhi to this year's imperial examination.

An emperor cares about and asks a "scholar" who is preparing to participate in the imperial examination, whether it is in the eyes of Zhao Yan, the queen, or Princess Xin, this can be regarded as a kind of reward and encouragement for Ye Qing.

And Ye Qing has long learned the tip of the iceberg since he dealt with Zhao Gou, at least he opened his eyes and said nonsense, he can now be said to be familiar with it and easy to speak.

So Zhu Xi, who had just been appointed as an examiner by King Xin, became the target of Ye Qing's attack in front of the current saint Zhao Yan.

Zhu Xi had an affair with two Taoist aunts, and even with his daughter-in-law, which was not clear, so naturally he was also taken out by Ye Qing, a minister, to attack Zhu Xi.

"The minister thinks that the so-called self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world is done in one go, and the world is popular and popular. If you are not right, how can you set up a model for scholars? If someone like Zhu Xi is used as an examiner, wouldn't it make all the scholars in the world lose their ethics and morality? Chancellor is just one

Scholars who are waiting to participate in the imperial examination, but since they have been studying the books of sages and sages, they dare not mess up their ethics at all, let alone violate the morality of heaven and humanity. Ministers have always adhered to the three outlines and five constants of the sages: righteousness of kings and ministers, fathers and sons, husband and wife, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. Regarding Zhu Xi's appointment as an examiner, the minister dared to say that even if the minister participated in the imperial examination, he was afraid that he would return in vain. Scholar Ye had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, neither humble nor silent, and even said with a hint of generosity and solemnity of the worries of the world.

If it weren't for the wound on his forehead that seemed a little funny at the moment, I'm afraid that even Guan Li next to him would have to believe that what Ye Qing said was true!

"Is that true?" Zhao Yan frowned, and after a deep groan, he said: "Although Zhu Xi is not my courtier, but in terms of his prestige and knowledge, he is also a sage and Confucian of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Back to the saint, what the minister said is true. The saint should know that although the minister has not entered the office, but he has been in charge of the Imperial City Division for nearly a year, even if he doesn't want to ask about it, he can't stand the rumors blowing into the Imperial City Division, so the minister only dares to do so after paying attention to this matter and finding out the truth. Ye Qing said calmly.

But even now, he doesn't even know what Zhu Xi's son's name is, but the matter has come to this point, since he has already said it, he can only bite the bullet.

As for Zhao Yan, if he really asked what Zhu Xi's son's name was, it would only be nonsense at that time.

But fortunately, Zhao Yan obviously didn't think about suspecting Ye Qing from the simplest place, but after quietly glancing at Ye Qing, his eyes turned to the queen and princess who were a little shocked at the moment because of Ye Qing's words attacking Zhu Xi.

Queen Xie Sufang's heart was really shocked, she really couldn't believe that Zhu Xi was such a sanctimonious hypocrite.

And Princess Xin's shock was that Ye Qing's courage was too big, right? dared to talk nonsense in front of the saint and the queen without blinking his eyes.

And she even understood that Ye Qing's words could be said to be really going to tear her face with King Xin.

On the West Lake painting boat that day, although Ye Qing had the upper hand in the end, King Xin and others' unbridled ridicule of him could be said to be still in his ears, and Ye Qing began to take revenge on King Xin, Zhu Xi and others.

"Guan Li, although you haven't gone to the Imperial City Division yet, you have been more or less involved in some of the news of the Imperial City Division these days, do you know about this?" Zhao Yan's gaze swept over Ye Qing who was standing respectfully in front of him again, and then slowly fell on Guan Li and asked.

"Back to the Holy Lord, what Scholar Ye said is indeed true." Guan Li saluted Zhao Yan respectfully and said.

Zhao Yan obviously still trusted Guan Li very much, and after hearing Guan Li's definitive answer, he first sighed heavily, and then unconsciously stood up from the chair, paced back and forth, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Ye Qing and said, "These can't be because Zhu Xi attacked you for restoring the Yuan You armillary sphere, so you retaliated against him, right?" ”

"Back to the Holy Lord, Minister...... The minister is upright and not afraid of the shadow slanting, and the Yuan You armillary sphere is above the Jiahui Gate Tower, and anyone can go up to check ....... Before Ye Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yan.

"But I heard that since the completion of the Yuanyou Armillary Sphere, you initially forbade anyone to climb the tower to take a closer look." Zhao Yan frowned, and his somewhat emaciated body made the narrow-sleeved robe that should have been fit and close-fitting on his body a little loose.

"When it was first completed, the minister still needed to continue all kinds of adjustments and corrections, if there were too many people at that time, and some organs were accidentally touched, the minister was restricted

It will take even longer than restoring the Yuanyu armillary sphere image, so the minister will prohibit others from climbing the tower to approach. What's more, the restoration of the Yuanyu armillary sphere, how can a minister alone be able to hide from the sky and the sea and hide from everyone? There are many people involved in Taifu Temple and the Ministry of Industry, even if the minister wants to hide from the world, I am afraid that the Ministry of Industry and Taifu Temple will not agree. Ye Qing said in a clear and calm manner.

"This is also true, with you as the commander of the Imperial City Division, it is impossible for nearly a thousand people to cheat with you, I ...... I was almost deceived. Zhao Yan raised his head and thought about Ye Qing's words, and then nodded in agreement and said.

Empress Xie Sufang saw that the topic was no longer a court political matter, so she said softly: "If the saint is suspicious, he can let the Taifu Temple and the Ministry of Industry enter the palace and ask, but the concubine feels that the sound of bells and drums listened to every hour every day is still quite pleasant." ”

Zhao Yan nodded without speaking, in fact, he didn't know in his heart that Li Dao of the Ministry of Industry and Ye Qing did not deal with it, if Yuan You was suspicious, Li Dao should have played and impeached Ye Qing in the court.

Princess Xin looked at the smiling queen, and then at Zhao Yan, who seemed to be hesitant, and then her beautiful eyes quickly swept over Ye Qing's forehead, which was even more swollen at the moment after being injured, and couldn't help but say: "King Xin is actually ...... In fact, I don't really believe that Lord Ye will cheat on the matter of Yuan You's armillary celestial image, but because he doesn't know much about it, and Zhu Xi and others are confused, they will ...... will suspect that Yuan Yu Armillary Sphere is suspected of cheating. ”

"Is Zhu Xi really so unbearable? I have heard that both his knowledge and character ....... Zhao Yan obviously couldn't believe for a while that the honest and simple Zhu Xi, a courtier who had been an official above the court for many years, would attack a "scholar" who had nothing to do with him like this.

Princess Xin's expression also had a hint of hesitation and entanglement, and she bit her red lips lightly, obviously a little undecided for a while, whether she should continue to help Ye Qing and lie in front of the current saint.

But fortunately, he was smart, and after glancing at Ye Qing again, the beautiful eyes said lightly: "The saint may not know that the day of the Shangyuan Festival is ...... in the West Lake." ”

"Do you mean to travel to the West Lake together?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.

"Yes, on the West Lake cruise that day, Zhu Xi said that the rain was qi, but he was awakened after sitting for three days. And this Lord Ye told King Xin and others that in fact, there is no need to sit at home to understand the relationship between rain and qi, as long as the kettle is boiling, it is enough to know that rain is the formation of qi. Princess Xin said firmly.

The implication of Princess Xin's words is: Everything Zhu Xi said, even if it is true, is guessed out of thin air, and Ye Qing put the facts in front of him to prove the truth, so it is enough to prove that Lord Ye's words and Yuan You's armillary celestial instrument are obviously more credible than Zhu Xi's conjecture out of thin air.

As soon as Princess Xin's words fell, Ye Qing took over the conversation and said: "The minister has the courage to speak, when Zhu Xi was an official, he played the impeachment of Tang Zhongyou, and everyone thought that he was impeached because of Tang Zhongyou's favoritism, but according to the investigation of the Imperial City Division, the truth is that Zhu Xi played the impeachment again and again to help his friend Lu Zuqian. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yan asked.

"Because his friend Lu Zuqian, and now Tang Zhongyou, the governor of Taizhou, fell in love with a prostitute Yan Rui at the same time, and after Lu Zuqian was defeated by Tang Zhongyou in the love field, Zhu Xi came out for him and fought grievances, so he repeatedly played to impeach Tang Zhongyou." Ye Qing continued.

Ye Qing and Princess Xin sang and harmonized, which made Zhu Xi's status in Zhao Yan's heart plummet in an instant at this time.
