Outside the front hall of Xie Mansion, a slender black shadow has been quietly lying by the window, eavesdropping on the conversation between her grandfather and the servant of the Ministry of Officials in the front hall.

Although she remembers her father who is now in prison more than anyone else, she grew up in the Xie Mansion since she was a child, and like her father, grandfather, and uncle, she values her name even more than her life.

Lou Jian walked out of the front hall with a deep face, not even paying attention to Xie Shenfu's apology behind him, just snorted coldly, and then walked towards the door of Xie Mansion like a wind.

Xie Daoqing, who was lying under the window, watched the figure turn and disappear at the shadow wall, and was about to get up to go to the front hall, but he heard another person's voice, which sounded in the front hall.

"Lord Xie is high-spirited and bright, and I am admired. In this life, I am fortunate to be an official with you, and I am deeply proud of Liu. Liuzheng's voice sounded in the front hall, and Xie Daoqing, who was about to enter outside, leaned under the window again, listening to the conversation between his grandfather and Liuzheng.

"It's a big deal." Xie Shenfu's voice was helpless and heavy, and the taste in his heart was even more mixed, all kinds of things that happened today, coupled with Ye Qing's timely reminder in Yipinlou, how could he not know that he was now involuntarily involved in the party struggle in the court: "The saint, the emperor, and the court trust my Xie family, how can Xie be disappointed because of selfishness?" How could he watch the court being controlled by the powerful ministers and be silent. ”

Liuzheng sighed, now he and Xie Shenfu can be described as grasshoppers on a rope, since the Emperor Taishang summoned him to the Lonely Mountain...... No, it should be said that since he was ordered by Zhao Ruyu to mediate between multiple forces, just to get rid of Ye Qing in the battle of Guanshan, Liuzheng has already put life and death aside.

"It is a blessing for my Great Song Dynasty to have a person like Brother Xie who forgets his self because of his duties, and it is really a shame to stay compared with Brother Xie." Liuzheng was also quite melancholy, if he hadn't been ordered by Zhao Ruyu back then, he would not have fallen into the party struggle from that moment.

Of course, in the past two years, he has been able to be the right minister, and he can not be excluded by the history and Han parties, in addition to because he is the right minister, now that I think about it, it is completely because Ye Qing let him go, obviously, in the eyes of the history and Han parties, after Ye Qing escaped from the battle of Guanshan, since he dared to retaliate against Zhao Ruyu, he should not let him go.

But in the end, Ye Qing didn't move at all, so not only did Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, who were watching the show, fail to take the opportunity to deal with Liuzheng when Ye Qing was dealing with Liuzheng, and Huang Que was sent by Huang Que to seek the right minister's dispatch, but instead made Liuzheng more and more stable in the position of the right minister, so that today, I found that something seemed wrong.

After listening to Liuzheng tell about the grudge with Ye Qing and why Zhao Ruyu died in Dali Temple, Xie Shenfu was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Whether it was Zhao Ruyu's death or Ye Qing's escape from Guan Shan's death, of course Xie Shenfu knew it, but he definitely didn't expect that behind everything, there were so many intricate cause and effect relationships.

Ye Qing is a minister and a hero, he dared to resist the emperor's order in Lin'an, and dared to kill the clan and the prince, these are all well-known things, just like Ye Qing's achievements in the Northern Expedition in the North, they are all difficult to write.

In the eyes of court officials, including Xie Shenfu, Ye Qing is afraid precisely because he is like a contradiction, half devil and half angel.

In the hearts of many court officials in Lin'an, because of Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan's impeachment and attack on Ye Qing from time to time, coupled with the grievances between Liuzheng and Ye Qing, the officials of the imperial court have completely forgotten that all the territories in the north are the credit of Ye Qing's recovery, and only remember that Ye Qing is entrenched in the north, how he does not listen to the dispatch and moderation of the imperial court, how he uses troops privately, talks about peace, and secretly communicates with the Jin, Xia, Liao, and Mongolia.

"If it weren't for what happened in Yipinlou today, if it weren't for Ye Qing reminding us to be careful of others' retaliation in front of you and me, Liu Mou would not have thought about all the things that Liu Mou had done in the court over the years. Even if he left someone, he almost forgot Ye Qing's contribution to the northland and the imperial court, and only remembered his arbitrariness in the northland. Something...... Liuzheng looked at the roof in dismay, and sighed helplessly: "Only after being in a high position will you know...... It turns out that behind everything, there are actually unspeakable dirty secrets. ”

"Ye Qing sits on the northern land, so that the people of the northern land only know Ye Qing, do not know the court, do not know the holy heavenly face, Shi Miyuan, Han

Why not the same? Above the court, the Shi Party and the Han Party are all over the place, and if anyone is slightly disobedient, a large number of imperial historians and speech officials will immediately impeach him in the court, so that the court will be just like the court of Shi and Han. Seeing that Brother Xie was coerced and lured by Shi Miyuan today, Liu couldn't help but wonder, what was Ye Qing's purpose in recovering the lost territory back then, did he want to become a hero entrenched in the north at that time? Liuzheng frowned deeply, shook his head and said to himself: "Obviously, his situation at that time may be similar to that of Brother Xie and your current situation, or it may be more complicated and dangerous than yours, so in the end, he went further and further on the road to heroism, so far away that he even forgot the imperial court." ”

"Stay in the adult...... It won't be sympathy for Ye Qing....... Xie Shenfu looked at Liuzheng, who seemed to be caught in the battle between heaven and man, and asked with some astonishment.

Liuzheng came back to his senses, looked at Xie Shenfu and shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand and said: "Liu, I just want to say that Liu, I don't have the same high demeanor as Brother Xie, unlike Brother Xie, who is upright in the world." After all, Ye Qing has an irresolvable grudge with me, if I hadn't mediated everywhere back then, he would not have fallen into the predicament of Guanshan, and maybe Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, would not have died in the ...... Dali Temple. ”

"According to Xie, Lord Liu doesn't have to blame himself so much, Yiguo Gong is a royal clan after all, how can he do anything unfavorable to the imperial court? Back then, the mediation of the Lord Liuliu must have been for the sake of the court and the clan. And Ye Qing, if he really has a clear conscience about the imperial court and is upright in his every word and deed in the north, why should he be afraid that the imperial court will call him back to Lin'an? Eight thousand elite soldiers now live outside the city, isn't it all to save his life? If he believes in the imperial court, can't the imperial court return his innocence? Xie Shenfu has a very blind confidence in the fairness of the imperial court, in his opinion, the imperial court, the saint, and the emperor are always the most just.

Liuzheng could only smile bitterly at Xie Shenfu's unconditional trust in the imperial court, obviously what he just said was not really listened to by Xie Shenfu, and even pretended to figure it out.

As he said, if he is not in a certain high position, he obviously will not understand how dirty this court is, and how insidious the hearts of the people in the world are.

What's more, how can this matter above the court be divided into two by simple right and wrong, black and white?

Liu Zheng originally wanted to bring up the matter of Yue Fei's unjust death in the Storm Pavilion back then, to tell Xie Shenfu that everything was not as simple as what his eyes saw, but looking at Xie Shenfu's upright face, he finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Shaking his head, he waved away the thoughts about Ye Qing in his mind, looked at Xie Shenfu and said, "Don't mention Ye Qing's matter for the time being. It's just that now how does Brother Xie plan to deal with it? This time, they're coming for you. ”

"Tomorrow, I will play the Holy Lord, and ask the Holy Lord to adjudicate this case for Xie Mou, I believe that the Holy Lord will definitely give Qu Bo and Fu Liang a clean slate. Even if it's ...... Even if it can't be changed in the end, Xie will not bow his head to Shi Miyuan because of this, the eldest husband sits upright, and he is worthy of the court, and the other is worthy of his conscience ....... Even if Xie Shenfu didn't want to do this in his heart, but things had come to this point, and he had no way back, the only thing he could do was to rely on the spirit of the literati to strengthen his loyalty to the court all the way.

"Bi Siqing of Dali Temple, stay here tomorrow to help Lord Xie inquire in detail to see if he can have a way to deal with it." Liuzheng obviously didn't want to leave it alone, not to mention, no matter what, Xie Shenfu's loyalty to the imperial court at least can be learned from heaven and earth, compared to Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, and Han Yanxuan, I don't know how much more loyal he is.

So if he saw such a loyal minister, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, he couldn't bear it.

"Then thank you for your trouble. Xie has been an official all his life, and he has not formed any personal fate, even if he wants to find someone to dredge, even if he inquires and visits, he doesn't know who to knock on the door. Of course, Xie is by no means pedantic, and there is no need to force ...... too much to stay as an adult. After Liu Zheng sat down, Xie Shenfu showed a somewhat pitiful smile in Liuzheng's eyes, and then said with some empty eyes: "Xie Mou actually knows very well in his heart that this time people are prepared, and there is Zuo Xiang behind his back, Qu Bo and Fu Liang this time...... I'm afraid it's more auspicious and less. In this big world, the only ones who can compete with Lord Zuo Xiang are those three or two, Shi Miyuan has just been offended by me, and Ye Qing ...... I'm afraid that if we hadn't met in Yipinlou today, no one would know who I Xie Shenfu was. In fact, the ones who can rescue Qu Bo and Fu Liang are Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, Xie Mou said this, and I hope that the adults will not be surprised. But Xie is the emperor's grace, and the court is there

When Xie was sent as a pacification envoy to Lin'an, a servant of the ministry, the eldest son was sentenced to Jiaxing Mansion, and the second son was sentenced to Shaoxing Mansion, the original intention was not to let Xie one day go to the Shi Party, the Han Party or the Ye Party, but to let Xie be able to taste the court and hold a wisp of clarity. Xie is soft-spoken, and he doesn't dare to abolish the public with private matters. Do not force ...... in anything. ”

Liuzheng sat next to him, his cheeks felt a little hot pain for a while, and he also felt a burst of heat and discomfort all over his body, compared to Xie Shenfu's loyalty, in addition to being ashamed, Liuzheng's heart was also full of longing and heartfelt respect for Xie Shenfu at this moment, after all, compared to others, he stayed behind the right phase, and occasionally there would be a mentality of suffering from gains and losses, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

"Bi Siqing has also been summoned into the lonely mountain by the Emperor Taishang many times, and he also met the saint on the first day, leaving a certain thought, even if Dali Temple can't ......."

Although she admired her grandfather's integrity and demeanor, in her mind, when the face of the man holding the baby appeared from time to time in her mind, she always felt that the man was not like a bad person, let alone the fierce and vicious in the mouths of some people in Lin'an City, but looked very easy-going.

How can such a person be a hero, how can he be a traitor who doesn't even care about the court? Did he have any unavoidable hardships?

Is it just like what Naliu-sama said just now, there are bad people who have forced him step by step to get to where he is today?

The girl's heart for the man holding the baby, the more carefully pondered, the more curious it became, someone wanted to kill him in the battle of Guanshan, and then he escaped death, and when he returned to Lin'an, he killed the person who killed him, but why didn't he kill Liuzheng?

King Xin also died at his hands, and Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, who had always been respected by his grandfather, was also killed by him! Is this person a good person or a bad person? Why did he do it? Isn't he afraid of the court, the saint, and the emperor? Compared with Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, who is more powerful? Which of the three of them has the most rights, and who can save his father from the prison of the Criminal Department?

The girl squatting in front of the window, holding her knees in a daze, for a while the image of the man holding the baby will involuntarily appear in her mind, and for some reason, the man's flower-like lady cheek will suddenly appear, although it is just a quick glance, but she remembers it very clearly.

"In fact, if you ask Ye Qing to help rescue Ling Gongzi, this strategy is not impossible." Liuzheng's words shocked Xie Daoqing, who was squatting in front of the window, and slowly got up again, lying on the window and listening.

"Why did you say that?" Xie Shenfu frowned, he didn't know why Liuzheng suddenly shifted the topic from the body of Bi Zaiyu, who would entrust Dali Temple Qing tomorrow, to Ye Qing again.

Of course, he also believed that Ye Qing definitely had the ability to confront Han Yanxuan, so as to rescue his eldest son and Lin'an Tongju Chen Fuliang, but he Xie Shenfu didn't want to ruin the wind of this life in the matter of defecting to the Ye Party.

As if he knew what Xie Shenfu was afraid of, Liuzheng shook his head and said, "Definitely." Liu wanted to ask, Brother Xie still remembered what Ye Qing said when he was in Yipinlou today? ”

"I don't know...... I wonder when Ru-sama was talking about? Although Xie Shenfu was reluctant to be with Ye Qing, and even more reluctant to join the Ye Party, he looked at Liuzheng's positive expression, and then thought about his eldest son and subordinates who had been entangled and worried in his heart, as well as his precious granddaughter, if he lost his father, he would not cry.

"Liu's offended him, and even put him in a desperate situation, but Ye Qing didn't take any revenge on me as if I didn't have any grudge with him, and even didn't hesitate to run to the private room where we were today to remind us to be careful of the retaliation of others. Although this is not Ye Qing's kindness, isn't it an opportunity that we can take advantage of? Liuzheng deliberately lowered his voice, and the small black shadow by the window also leaned his head closer and closer to the window, trying to hear clearly.

"You mean ......." Xie Shenfu said with a slight emotion.

"Why not just do it? Why did the court send you to pacify Lin'an? Liuzheng smiled mysteriously: "As the saying goes, two tigers must be injured when they fight, wouldn't it be better if we could take this opportunity to eradicate the two?" ”

At this moment, the little black shadow by the window was completely unable to hear what was being said inside, Xie Daoqing, who was a little anxious, looked at the window, and then looked at the hall door not far away, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and walked towards the hall with his head bored.
