Listening to Ye Luyue's whispered explanation, Ye Qing didn't know which was true and which was false for a while, who was right and who was wrong.

Since ancient times, in the struggle between the royal family and powerful ministers, there is no right or wrong, and even the truth of the matter is often difficult to distinguish in the history books.

Literati are light, relying on the pen and a sharp mouth to scold people and smear others, Zhu Xi has also been smeared with his daughter-in-law, and others have also been smeared for things related to ethics and morality, but what is the truth of the matter, no one is willing to investigate, but people like to listen to some and believe some, and what they are willing to believe is not the truth of the truth.

The literati still attack and smear each other in this way, in order to weaken the prestige of the other party in the hearts of the people of the world and raise their influence as justice, so whether such a thing happened to the Daliao royal family or not, it is actually a normal public opinion struggle.

For their own interests, from ancient times to the present, there are countless things that have been ridiculed and lost conscience in the temple, but no matter which thing it is, it can be judged by morality as a benchmark in the mouth of future generations, but at present, there is no right or wrong, true or false, only real interests, which drive people to temporarily abandon their moral conscience.

Ye Qing, who came out of the main hall, followed behind Yelu Pu Suwan, and in the distance were the officials of the Southern Courtyard and the Northern Mansion who were angry and unhappy and dispersed, either bowing and retreating like Yelu Yue, or following Xiao Yuli to the Southern Courtyard.

Walking through a golden royal tent next to him, Ye Qing followed behind Yelupu alone, the water was gurgling under the covered bridge, a few unknown wild flowers swayed with the water on the clear water, and the rockery not far away did not become any artistic atmosphere, compared to the ornamental stones of Lin'an and other gardens, it was completely nondescript.

"Have you always wondered in your heart, some of my private affairs?" Yelupu quickly took Ye Qing, stepped on the stone steps, sat down in a gallery pavilion and asked with a smile.

"This ......." Ye Qing hesitated a little unprepared, and he didn't expect that Yelupu would directly pick it out, making him suddenly seem a little unsure of how to answer: "Justice is in people's hearts...... ”

"Is there justice in this world?" Yelupu said with a faint smile: "Justice is in the hands of the victor, the prince and the loser, if you win, you are justice, you are the hearts of the people, and you are the king admired by the people of the world." If you lose, you will be a thief, and the night of disaster for the country and the people will be small, and everyone will be punished quickly. ”

Ye Qing had to admit that Yelupu's appearance completely made him misjudge everything, especially his opinion of Yelupu Suwan at the first time, the old pearl yellow and ugly-looking woman in front of him was completely a thoughtful, wise and deep empress, and the difference from the rumors was like two people.

"That'...... Why don't you tell the king of the southern court of the world to slander you? Ye Qing involuntarily clenched his fists back and forth in his sleeves to relieve the tension in his heart.

He has seen many emperors, at least until now, he has dealt with three Great Song Emperors, two Great Jin Emperors, two Great Xia Emperors, two Liao Emperors, and an Emperor who is not an emperor of the Tatars, but I don't know why, when facing this female emperor of the Liao State who is calm and unfazed, he feels extremely nervous, just like the distant Tianshan Mountain as far as the eye can see, giving him an inexplicable and deep huge pressure.

"You mean that I have an adultery with Xiao Pugu in the sand?" Yelupu looked more gentlemanly than Ye Qing, and directly asked again with a clear question.

"This ...... I think it's the king of the Southern Courtyard who is framing you, but I won't believe it. Ye Qing tried his best to make his words more credible, and his expression was more righteous and stern.

This is a very inexplicable feeling, even when facing other emperors, he doesn't have this feeling of being seen through, but in front of Yelupu Suwan, he always has a feeling that he is being seen through, as if he is not wearing clothes.

Yelupu sighed and laughed slightly, and did not respond to Ye Qing's words, naturally, it was impossible to know whether she believed what Ye Qing said or not.

"The Song people often say that rumors stop at the wise, so the more I explain, the more I want to cover up. Let alone....... Yelupu looked at Ye Qing again with her knife-like deep and sharp gaze, and said, "What's more, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom who are willing to follow the king of the Southern Courtyard, even if there is no matter between me and Xiao Pugu, they will not stand on my side and stand under the account of the Northern Mansion, right?" If you are loyal to my Daliao royal family, how can you sway your position because of the king's immorality? ”

Ye Qing, whose palms were a little sweaty, was able to calm down a little at this time, and the whole person was no longer as stiff as he was just now.

Watching Yelupu finish quickly, he finally smiled freely and said: "Holy Lord, do you mean that these courtiers of your country who are standing under the account of the southern courtyard are because they have clearly seen the situation when the lord is weak and the minister is strong, so they will believe what they are willing to believe, and believe the foul words that Xiao Lili thorn said to you?" After all, the Holy Lord, you are the regent of Da Liao, the prince is young, the princess is a woman, and the eldest son is your husband, and the second son is also powerful, so the threat to you and the prince and princess is too great, right? ”

"The royal family is withered, the heirs are thin, the king of the Southern Courtyard is like a big Liao tiger, and there are two sons under his knees, Ye Qing, I ask you, if the Yelu family and the Xiao family are just two ordinary people, who do you think the neighbors will face? Who is strong and who is weak? Yelupu frowned, and suddenly asked Ye Qingdao with a smile.

Ye Qing was a little stunned for a while, but thinking about it, this is like Yeluyue and Yeluzhilugu, although the family is superior, but they lost their parents prematurely, and they need to rely on their aunt to maintain this superior family background.

And my aunt's husband and father-in-law had the idea of occupying the superior family of the two sisters and brothers, so as an aunt, Yelupu should be in a dilemma, so as to make a painful and difficult decision, right? Or is it...... The reason why Yelupu's husband was killed was because he took the lead in his ambition? So Yelupu had to kill his husband in order to protect the Yelu royal family?

"If this is the case, then the Holy One should declare to the world that it is, not ......." Ye Qing frowned and said.

"Everyone has a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth, I can seal the mouths of all the people in the royal city, but can I seal the mouths of all the people in the entire Great Liao? The people are ignorant, the officials are shrewd, and the people can see the truth clearly, but the officials are willing to pretend that they can't see clearly, because these interests have nothing to do with the people, but about these officials, so even if I tell the world, it is useless to explain them one by one, not to mention, why should I explain and conceal what happened? Yelupu was not shocked to die, and just when Ye Qing's mind was turning, she suddenly slammed straight into the wall.

Ye Qing, who was a little dizzy, looked at Yelupu and asked in a daze, "Holy Lord, is this his own confirmation of these rumors?" ”

"Why not?" A shrewd deep rhetorical question flashed in Yelupu's eyes.

Ye Qing suddenly realized, yes, why not?

Yelupu is an absolutely understanding person, and he is definitely a deep and calculating strong woman in the city. It is not only a thorough understanding of what the people of Daliao want and care about, but also the intentions of the officials of Daliao.

Xiao Shuli stabbed her and poured dirty water on her, the people obviously wouldn't believe it, just like the example of the ordinary family that Yelu Pu gave to Ye Qing just now, if this kind of thing happened to ordinary people, then the people must be able to see the right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong, and they will also collectively denounce Xiao Shuli for bullying his daughter-in-law, bullying Yeluyue and Yelu Zhilugu sisters and brothers who are like orphans, because they want to occupy other people's family property.

And who will support the thorns? It must be someone who has an interest in Xiao Li, and at the same time, some people who covet the family property, or people who can get a piece of the pie from the occupation of other people's property, will support Xiao Lizhu to seize the family property left by Yelu Yue and Yelu Zhilugu's parents to his sister and brother.

The people can see the major rights and wrongs clearly, and the officials can also see the major rights and wrongs clearly, but the people do not know how to pretend to be stupid, and it is not beneficial to covet the interests of others, but the officials will pretend to be stupid and stunned, and they will think in their hearts about how they can covet more interests.

And Yelupu Suwan pulled Xiao Pugu's second son Xiao Pugu into the water in the sand, and it was through this basin of sewage that came from the head to restrain and balance Xiao Huli's revenge on their royal family, after all, if Xiao Huli Thorn recklessly killed the killer, then it was basically equivalent to dying with Yelupu Suwan.

In fact, that's the way it is, it's only now that Yeluyue took charge of the Beifu that Xiao Li's thorn is a little jealous, and he can't cut through the mess quickly for a while.

"The saint is wise, which makes Ye Qing admire it to the extreme." Ye Qing got up and saluted solemnly to Yelupu.

Yelupu smiled calmly, waved his hand to signal Ye Qing to be exempted, and then after Ye Qing sat down, Yelupu's expression became more solemn and said: "I know your relationship with Chengli, and I also know almost all of your things. I am talking to you alone today to tell you that you must not live up to Chengli's sincere feelings for you. ”

"Holy rest assured ......." Ye Qing got up again, he kind of understood why he was nervous when he saw Yelupu from the beginning, because unconsciously, he regarded today's solitary conversation as if his mother-in-law was looking at her son-in-law.

"My conditions are not that simple." Yelupu quickly interrupted Ye Qing's words and continued: "The reason why I have a heart-to-heart relationship with you is that I want you to understand the situation of the Great Liao Imperial Family, which is not as worry-free as outsiders see. But no matter what, I can't see that the great Liao rivers and mountains handed over to me by the first emperor are dead in my hands, and the prince's playful heart is not restrained, even if I want to return the country to him, I have to worry that the king of the southern courtyard will intensify after the prince ascends the throne. So my condition is that if you want to marry Chengli, you can, I am not an unreasonable person, but you Ye Qing must come to my Daliao, as long as you nod, what position do you want, what official position I give you, even if you are in charge of Beifu and Chengli abdicates, I can agree, how about it? ”

Ye Qing's first reaction in his mind was the word "redundant", but looking at Yelu Pu's solemn and serious expression, he couldn't laugh at all.

"Saint, Ye Qing is the minister of the Great Song Dynasty after all...... Ye Qing quickly thought of an excuse in his heart and said.

"The minister of the Great Song Dynasty?" The corners of Yelupu's mouth showed a touch of contempt, and he said lightly: "But as far as I know, many of the things that you Ye Qing did in the Great Song Dynasty are not what a courtier should do, today you told me that you are a courtier who is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, Ye Qing, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Ye Qing couldn't help but feel hot for a while, and began to scold Ye Luyue in her heart, why doesn't this girl have a doorkeeper on her mouth, why do you say everything, you still don't want to lose face!

"This ...... That...... Shengshang is not afraid that Ye Qing will become the second thorn of the Great Liao Kingdom? Ye Qing couldn't deny what he had done, not to mention, even if he denied it, it was useless.

After all, whether it was when Zhao Gou was an eagle dog, or when Zhao Yan was the emperor, during the Northern Expedition, or now after Zhao Yan ascended the throne, what he did was indeed not exactly what a person should do, and some things were indeed a little rebellious.

"So what?" Yelupu said again without being shocked, looking at Ye Qing's stunned expression, and then continued to say slowly: "My second condition is that the children born to you and Chengli must be surnamed Yelu, so even if you Ye Qing really one day become the second thorn in my Da Liao, will I still be afraid?" ”

Ye Qing was completely speechless, the condition of daring to love is not one, this is thinking of one counts as one, is it that Yelupu thought of the others tonight, so he will recruit himself into the palace again tomorrow, and tell himself that this is the third and fourth rules that he must abide by?

Ye Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the calm Yelupu and said: "Ye Qing is afraid that he is going to disappoint you, although Ye Qing has some behaviors that are indeed rebellious and not done by human ministers, Ye Qing really has no intention of leaving the Great Song Dynasty to find another career." Although Ye Qing's actions were somewhat contrary to the actions of the people, Ye Qing could pat his chest and say, all of what I have done is for the Great Song Dynasty and the righteousness of China, just like when I came to Daliao this time, except for Princess Yin Chengli, it is ....... ”

"The so-called Chinese righteousness?" The corners of Yelupu's mouth were still with a hint of disdain: "Ye Qing, can you deceive yourself and others with your words?" Even if you have the righteousness of China in your heart, the reason why the Jin, Tatars, and Xia people will send troops to help me Daliao, are you sure that they will be the same as you, for the so-called righteousness of China? What Xiao Lili said in the main hall just now is to lure the wolf into the room, why don't I think so? But the reason why I generously allow you to join forces with 20,000 people to enter my Daliao King City is to let you accumulate prestige and influence in my Daliao, and pave the way for you to enter Liao in the future. Is it true that my Da Liao is so weak that he can't even deal with a single Khorezm person because of the internal strife in the thorns? ”

At this moment, Yelupu is fast, majestic and domineering, and the pressure of those who have been in the position for a long time is coming, which makes people completely ignore her ugly appearance, and have to treat her as an emperor who looks down on the world.
