Getting up from the pavilion, Zhong Qing began to look extremely excited, and began to take the initiative to take Ye Qing's hand and walk towards the backyard of the mansion.

This mansion occupies an extremely wide area, although it is not as large as the mansion given to Ye Qing by Zhao Gou in Lin'an, but in Yangzhou City, there are only a handful of mansions of this scale.

After a few years of shelving, although some places have been mottled or dilapidated, it does not reduce the elegant and quiet style and temperament of this garden-like mansion in the south of the Yangtze River.

Along the way, Zhong Qing made a small voice like a silver bell from time to time, and her whole body was full of light pleasure: "Look, this is it, let's live here in the future, the pavilion next to it will give light smoke, and I will live in the building on the left." As for you....... ”

Zhong Qing blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Ye Qing biting her lip, and suddenly leaned in and asked, "Where do you want to live?" ”

"I think it's too troublesome, in fact, I think the three of us can live in one building, and it's more lively." Ye Qingtian looked at Zhong Qing's chest shamelessly.

"Nasty, you." Like a butterfly flying, shuttling among the flowers in the yard, and then standing still and saying, "I don't know if you're ashamed." ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, it's just the three of us here......." The tip of Ye Qing's nose still had a faint fragrance left by Zhong Qing, and he looked at the two pavilions in front of him from time to time and said.

"By the way, do you see the yard over there?" Zhong Qing seemed to remember something, and pointed to the courtyard next to him, compared to where they were now, compared to the building of the entire mansion, that one was more upright, and it should be the courtyard where the master lived.

"I'm still wondering, isn't there a correction, can't you, the master, live in the main courtyard, you have to live in this side courtyard, right?" Ye Qing glanced over there and said.

"That's for ......." Zhong Qing obviously didn't know what to call it, and after thinking about it, he still said: "I discussed it with Qingyan, I live in this courtyard with Qingyan, and it is naturally left for your two ladies in Lin'an to live there." ”

Zhong Qing in the sun, a trace of imperceptible loss flashed in her beautiful eyes, Ye Qingquan didn't see or hear Zhong Qing's words, walked up to him and took Zhong Qing's hand and began to walk towards the attic that Zhong Qing loved.

At this time, the entire mansion has not yet begun to be repaired, and today is just Ye Qing idle and asked Zhong Qing to take him over for a walk.

Broad Beans ran into this elegant courtyard from the outside, and after looking at the word moon exploration at the top of the moon gate, she began to walk in, just in time to see Zhong Qing and Ye Qing holding hands and walking down the attic.

Zhong Qing, who saw the broad beans, hurriedly let go of Ye Qing's hand with a blushing face, and the whole person involuntarily hid behind Ye Qing.

"My lord, I confessed my guilt over there." Fava Bean said calmly as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Then tell Po Li San that the boat will stop directly at Haizhou, and Dong Chao will pick him up there." Ye Qing said after thinking for a while.

"Your Excellency......." The broad beans suddenly became a little writhing.

Seeing that he said the word Dong Chao, after a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the broad bean, Ye Qing naturally understood that the broad bean in front of him was obviously a person who did not forget to be grateful, even if he now has a better environment in Yangzhou than others, but he still did not forget that Dong Chao and others who took them to the grass in Sizhou at the beginning, or went to the grassland to train.

"Tell your husband, I don't count." Ye Qing guessed Broad Bean'er's thoughts, after all, for more than three years, Broad Bean'er has been shouldering the responsibility of protecting Zhong Qing.

"It's good if you say it, just listen to you." Zhong Qing, who was hiding behind Ye Qing, was a little embarrassed to face Broad Beans because of the hand-holding just now, and stabbed Ye Qing behind his back and whispered in a complaining tone.

"Go ahead, be careful along the way, and you'll come back when things are done over there." Ye Qing smiled and said.

"Yes, thank you, sir, thank you, madam." Fava Beans said happily.

And when he said thank you, Mrs., Lord Ye's waist was twisted vigorously by Zhong Qing's hand, blaming him for not holding hands for so long.

Ye Qing and Zhong Qing here were visiting their mansions, and the current saint of Lin'an took the queen to take advantage of the time to enjoy the flowers and went to the lonely mountain garden outside Lin'an City.

Zhao Gou's body is not as good as before, so the number of times he goes to the Lonely Mountain Garden from Lin'an City is getting less and less, and Zhao Yan respects filial piety, so in the past two years, the number of times he has gone to the Lonely Mountain Garden is not much.

Now taking advantage of the fact that the weather will not be cooler, he simply raised the palace again to live in the lonely mountain garden.

As Zhao Gou's body is getting weaker and weaker, Zhao Yan can basically completely deal with the political affairs of the court, of course, Zhao Gou will still interfere, but compared to before, it can be said that it is much less.

Wang Huai and Han Cheng, who had just arrived at the Lonely Mountain Garden, did not agree to the candidates proposed by Han Cheng and Wang Huai on the grounds that they wanted me to think about it again.

A person sits alone in the pavilion next to the rockery, looking at his own reflection on the lake for a while, and looking up at the West Lake in the distance.

"What news does the Imperial City Division have about the affairs of Huainan East Road?" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Yan asked lightly.

Guan Li, who was standing behind him, since Wang Deqian committed suicide in fear of sin, has now become the most trusted eunuch in the palace by Zhao Yan.

"Back to the Holy Lord, Commander Li came early this morning, and you were accompanying the Emperor Taishang at that time, so Commander Li left a secret letter and left." Guan Li took out the secret letter in his sleeve pocket and said.

"Why didn't he stay and wait for me?" Zhao Yan asked with some unhappiness in his heart.

"Back to the saint, Commander Li asked the slave maid to ask you for the guilt, because the water bandit who hijacked the city on Huainan East Road was not secretly arranged by Ye Qing, so Li Heng had to leave in order to find out who the water bandit was." Guan Li explained for Li Heng.

"I see, I already knew that Ye Qing had just been appointed as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and the commander of the Fifth Route Army would not easily convince him and let him send him. But I just don't know who the water bandits in the Great Song Sea area are who they are. Zhao Yan said with a hint of worry between his brows.

Although he really wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, the comfortable and enjoyable life of the emperor for so many years also made him a little reluctant to provoke a war, but now Yu Yunwen has been preparing for Lizhou Road for many years, like an arrow on the bow, which makes him a little contradictory.

So from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yan would rather that the water bandits that appeared on Huainan East Road were pretended to be sent by Ye Qing instead of the real water bandits.

Guan Li looked at Zhao Yan's back, and then lowered his head and said respectfully: "Maybe it won't take a few days for Commander Li to find out the identities of those water bandits for the Holy Lord." ”

Zhao Yan left the shore of the lake with Guan Li, thinking about the affairs of Huainan East Road, and pondering who the imperial court should send to Huainan East Road to serve as a pacification envoy and a torture envoy, both of which were extraordinary, but they could not fulfill Wang Huai's wishes, and naturally Han Cheng could not take advantage of the situation.

Similarly, Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei Guo, who came to visit Zhao Gou today, was basking in the warm sun with Zhao Gou at this time, and was also discussing the suitable candidates for the Huainan East Road Envoy and the Transit Envoy.

"This Ye Qing is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, the Emperor Taishang, you let him leave Lin'an, this is less of your suppression, just after you arrived, you set off such a thing on Huainan East Road, this is embarrassing the imperial court." Shi Hao sighed and looked at Zhao Goudao, who had slightly closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Can't let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Zhao Gou opened his eyes and glanced at Shi Hao, then slowly closed his eyes, continued to enjoy the leisurely afternoon, and thought for a while: "Ye Qing is a dog or a tiger, I haven't broken it all these years, aren't you Shi Hao also old and dizzy, and you can't tell the difference until now?" Grandson Shi Miyuan was frustrated everywhere in front of Ye Qing, you have anger in your heart, I know, but now that Huainan is in trouble, I have also underestimated Ye Qing's courage. ”

"Can't you think of a way?" Ye Qing in Shi Hao's mind was still stuck in the time when he was just appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, so after thinking about it, he still said: "After all, you were personally promoted, and the so-called dog beating also depends on the master, with you, how can I, Shi Hao, care about the juniors?" But now it's no longer a personal grudge, this is very likely to endanger my Great Song Dynasty Sheji, and it's so close to the Jin people, if you really want to join the enemy, what should you do when the time comes. ”

"Everyone else can see his ambition clearly, but this Ye Qing, even now, I don't know what he wants! Right? The power of the Imperial City Division is big enough, but he can really take it and put it down. Good money, the soap and gouache made by his little lady have made him a lot of money. I like women, but he can also sit still, and I have sent several palace maids ....... Zhao Gou nodded and said.

"Ye Qing cares about women?" Shi Hao felt funny when he heard it, and then said: "But even if he is a good woman, there are two ladies in the family, and the cause of the Huainan East Road incident is because of women." It is said that the oblique wind and drizzle building on Huainan East Road was originally the oblique wind and drizzle building in Lin'an, but it was a green building in Lin'an, and it became a Goolan tile house in Yangzhou. So, speaking of which, Ye Qing is lustful, but it should not be abusive and lustful, but a gentleman who is ....... ”

"Are you complimenting your little rival?" Zhao Gou asked with a smile.

"If you agree, then how about leaving the rest of the matter to the minister?" Shi Hao looked at Zhao Gou with a peaceful smile on his face.

And Zhao Gou sighed first, thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "Wait a little longer, I still have some time, and I still want to write and ink in this history...... Don't be too biased. This matter is quite complicated, Ye Qingcheng's mansion is deep, if it comes down to the final analysis, I shouldn't have promoted him back then, let alone let him go to the Jin Kingdom. ”

"How did the Emperor say this...... Could it be that he has ....... Shi Hao asked with a slight surprise in his heart.

"Not really." Zhao Gou shook his head and denied: "This matter is more complicated now, I am in a safe corner, Yue Fei's death, etc., have left me with unbearable things in the history books." The only thing I regret now is that I let him envoy to the Jin Kingdom back then, but under the circumstances at that time, Qishi Lie Zhining had a tough attitude, and I had no choice but to agree. I thought this was the end of this matter, but who knows, it turned out to be the beginning of my longing. ”

Shi Hao was silent, looking at Zhao Gou as if he was caught in a memory, and he was ready to be a qualified listener.

What Zhao Gou said was the matter of the Jin Kingdom's exemption from the New Year's coin, but now this matter is now linked to Ye Qing, and even formed a mutual interest.

This is also the reason why after Yan Jing went south to Lin'an, he dared to tell Ye Qing very frankly in front of Ye Qing how they would force Ye Qing to invest in gold.

Jin Guo believes that Zhao Gou will never be willing to bear the reputation of being a minister and a tribute again, and the exemption of the annual coin is not because of those money things, but because of how he Zhao Gou will leave his name in the history books.

Regardless of whether he is the Emperor or the Holy Emperor now, at least now he and the Jin Kingdom are two independent and equal countries, but if the New Year coin is restored again, for Zhao Gou, it is something that he absolutely does not want to see and never want to accept.

So he would rather pay any price, at least a hundred years ago, he would never be willing to bow down to the Jin State again, as for the matter of talking about peace with Jin in private, being afraid of Jin and fearing Jin, naturally, that does not represent the reputation of the Zhao and Song clans.

Shi Hao glanced at Zhao Gou with a complicated expression, Zhao Gou in his eyes, in his opinion, belonged to the kind of ill-fated emperor in the first half of his life, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, after the court stabilized, Zhao Gou was also like any emperor of the Zhao and Song clans, they did not have much ambition and ambition, they didn't care about the lost half of the country, they cared more about how to effectively keep the defeat in their hands, the remnants of the ancestors.

"In this way, the Emperor Taishang can only temporarily plan to put Ye Qing on Huainan East Road and let him continue to make trouble, but...... When is this a head? Shi Hao sighed.

"Ye Qing now has a son and two wives, and Jun was left in Lin'an." Zhao Gou glanced at Shi Hao meaningfully and said.

"......What does the Emperor mean?" Shi Hao didn't understand, leaving his wife and children old and young, wouldn't this make Ye Qing judge gold?

"Holy will." Zhao Gou's words tended to be more simple.

And Shi Hao thought about it and muttered: "Use my wife and children to ensure the stability of my Great Song Huainan East Road?" This...... Isn't that too child's play? ”

"But it's better than Ye Qing giving Huainan East Road to the Jin people, right? It's not that there are no such officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and Ren Dejing sent his daughter to Xia Guo back then, isn't it an example? Zhao Gou changed his comfortable posture on the chair, Wang Lun delivered the tea to his hand as soon as possible, Zhao Gou suddenly turned his head to Shi Hao and asked, "By the way, how is Bai Bingzhong?" ”

"He served as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road?" Shi Hao sat up directly and said with some incredulity.

"It is said that the relationship with Ye Qing has never eased because of Fan Niande, although he was demoted together with Ye Heng back then, but this person has always been loyal to the imperial court, if he is appointed as a transfer envoy, maybe he can contain some Ye Qing, right?" Zhao thought and said.

"That'...... What about the candidates for the proclamation? Shi Hao felt that his beard was shaking.

"How is Ye Heng?" Zhao Gou said expressionlessly.

"What a clever plan, the Emperor is wise, in this way, it is impossible for Huainan East Road to be dedicated to the Jin people by Ye Qing anyway." Shi Hao sighed after thinking for a while.
