Chapter 784: Helpless
With the sound of rattling in his ears and the pain of his ass being hit by masonry on the other side of the wall, Zhao Shichun's waist could finally regain some freedom.
After Ye Qing simply and rudely continued to kick a few times, this time without Ye Qing helping him, Zhao Shichun was already able to crawl out of the dog hole by himself.
When Zhao Ling'er, who had a "big mouth", rushed over with Ye Gucheng, Ye Wuji, and Xu Qing, Zhao Shichun was squeezing the dust in his mouth while patting the dirt on his body, and from time to time complaining about Ye Qing who seemed to be smiling next to him.
Looking at Zhao Shichun, who had crawled out in front of her, Zhao Ling'er's small mouth opened wide, as if she felt incredible.
The two brothers of the Ye family looked at Zhao Shichun and his father, and then at Zhao Ling'er, and after leaving a deception, they took Zhao Ling'er to leave.
"I'm not lying, my dad was really stuck in that hole just now." Zhao Ling'er tried her best to defend herself.
“……。” Zhao Shichun, who was patting the dust on his body, listened to the words of his daughter, and instantly his heart was half cold, this little girl was still shouting everywhere, and she also ran over with the two little rabbit cubs of the Ye family to watch the excitement.
Xu Qing smiled like a good man, and looked at Zhao Shichun's embarrassed appearance, which instantly made Zhao Shichun feel extremely embarrassed, and pointed to the dog hole behind him that was kicked open by Ye Qing a few green bricks, and said angrily: "I tell you Xu Qing, from today onwards, immediately seal this hole for me!" If you let the public find out again, I will let you walk around without eating! ”
"This ...... You have to ask our family Master Ye to do it. Xu Qing looked at the annoyed and angry Zhao Shichun and began to find him to vent his anger, and hurriedly asked him to find the right master.
"That's right, that's right, just listen to Chongguo Gong." Ye Qing also laughed, and played a round for Zhao Shichun, who was annoyed and angry.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Zhao Shichun said with a little satisfaction.
"Smash it all down, just open the door." Ye Qing walked towards the mansion with Zhao Shichun, and said to Xu Qing, who was smiling behind him.
Such words made Zhao Shichun roll his eyes in disgust, obviously he didn't expect that Ye Qing would distort his opinion so much, listening to Xu Qing quickly agreeing behind him, Zhao Shichun was powerless to continue to dwell on this matter at the moment.
Thinking about the near future, it is really possible for his daughter to marry into the Ye family as a daughter-in-law, so it doesn't matter if the back door can't be opened.
In the study, after the maid put down the tea and was signaled by Ye Qing to leave, Zhao Shichun couldn't wait to ask again: "Why did you do it so quickly?" Didn't you say okay, let me think about it for a few days? ”
Ye Qing was not surprised at all in the face of Zhao Shichun's questioning, what happened at the Twenty-fourth Bridge could be known by Zhao Shichun so quickly, and then he thought of him.
"Liu Dexiu started to contact King Qing early this morning, and I have no choice, if I wait a few more days, I am afraid that Liu Dexiu will take the lead." Ye Qing said unhurriedly.
Zhao Shichun sighed helplessly, what Ye Qing said was naturally the truth, since Liu Dexiu deliberately created a chance encounter with King Qing today, he would inevitably play some of Yangzhou's rights and wrongs in front of King Qing.
And if it is not stopped and allowed to develop, it is even very likely that he will be implicated in this leisurely clan in Yangzhou.
"And what are you going to do next?" Zhao Shichun completely forgot about the dirt chips on his body at this moment, and looked at Ye Qing and asked.
"Since you were already in front of King Qing yesterday, no matter whether those words were said for me Ye Qing or not, it is obvious that you can't easily change your position. I think...... King Qing will inevitably ask you for ...... verification. Ye Qing thought for a while and said.
"But what I said at this moment, King Qing may not fully believe it, King Qing, who has just arrived, no matter how Liu Dexiu plays right and wrong in front of him today, plus the matter of the Twenty-Four Bridges, I think anything I say now, I'm afraid it won't make him believe more than seven points." Zhao Shichun bit his lip and thought.
"Yes, it doesn't matter what Liu Dexiu said, but the important thing is that he will ask you for verification, whether I believe it or not, King Qing will inevitably think more about it now, and it is very likely that he will also ask me to verify some things, so the next thing, it is enough for you to do a good job of yourself, as for me here, because I am the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, if you are King Qing, if you ask me to verify Liu Dexiu's matter, how will I answer?" Ye Qing's expression was a little intriguing smile.
Zhao Shichun was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while: "You are the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and Liu Dexiu is the prefect of Yangzhou, so if he asks you to verify Liu Dexiu's affairs in Yangzhou, no matter what conclusions he has in his heart, but subjectively, I am afraid that you will still think more that you will definitely say some bad things about Liu Dexiu to Liu Dexiu, not to mention what happened at the 24th Bridge, which is enough to provide you with such a reason to attack Liu Dexiu." ”
"But what if I seem quite embarrassed, and it looks more like I deliberately protect Liu Dexiu in order to take into account the overall situation?" The intriguing smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth gradually became sinister.
Zhao Shichun thought for a while, instantly clapped his hands, and said with bright eyes: "If you want to capture the past, in this way, it will only make King Qing believe in you Ye Qing more, instead of Liu Dexiu, who accompanied him to the Twenty-fourth Bridge today?" ”
Ye Qing nodded with a smile, this is like singing a red face and a white face, and finally let King Qing find the truth in a slightly complicated matter, but in fact, the truth has become a "fact" that makes him believe that he is willing to believe.
Because of Zhao Shichun's long conversation with King Qing in the carriage before, and his support for Ye Qing with a very clear position, it is natural that in the next position, he must continue to attack Liu Dexiu and support Ye Qing.
And what Ye Qing has to do now is to give King Qing a truth that is not only fake, but also hidden behind it, so that King Qing can rely on his own analysis to find the truth and answer that Ye Qing has already prepared for him.
King Qing's own strength may not make Ye Qing and Zhao Shichun so troublesome, but it is precisely because of Liu Dexiude's participation that Ye Qing has to cheer up and use various means to win over King Qing.
Although it seems to happen on Huainan East Road, if King Qing is not on his side with Ye Qing, then above the Lin'an court, Ye Qing's influence will be weakened by Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu.
This is naturally what Ye Qing doesn't want to see, so he must also use King Qing's hand to get rid of Liu Dexiu, divide the relationship between Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu, create opportunities for Zhong Qing, who is still in Lin'an, or eliminate some from Zhao Ruyu.
In short, although King Qing has no real power, but a prince of the clan appears on Huainan East Road, if he plays the concert of the imperial court, or directly to the saint, it will naturally affect the delicate balance above the court.
Ye Qing's ultimate goal is naturally to help Zhong Qing take revenge, but how to get rid of Zhao Ruyu without revealing a trace, or to get rid of Zhao Ruyu by the hands of others, is that he thought about it for a long, long time, and then began to put his mind on King Qing who went to Zhao Ruyu's mansion to attend the banquet in Lin'an.
When Zhao Shichun left Ye Mansion, Ye Mansion specially sent a carriage to send Zhao Shichun back to his house, obviously, Zhao Shichun was completely disgusted with Ye Qing's proposal and let him continue to climb over the wall from the back garden.
Zhao Ling'er still stayed in the Ye Mansion, the little girl who was crazy didn't want to go back, and Zhao Pan'er didn't know when, in the name of looking for her sister, she came to the Ye Mansion, so now although Bai Chun and Ye Qing are in the study, their ears are all under the sunset outside, and the innocent play and laughter of a few little guys.
"This is news about Han Yanxuan." Bai Chun put a secret letter in front of Ye Qing's desk, and then took out another one and said, "This is Zhong Qing's." ”
"Han Yanxuan is afraid that he is going to pacify the southwest again, right?" Ye Qing glanced at the first secret letter, and then directly picked up Zhong Qing's one and asked.
Seeing that Ye Qing only cared about Zhong Qing's letters, and did not open the letters about Han Yanxuan, Bai Chun didn't know whether to be happy for Zhong Qing or the guy in front of him, and only remembered Zhong Qing in his heart.
"The military department is still upright, and the relationship with Zhao Ruyu has always been good, and now Zhao and Han are allies above the court, so I think Han Yanxuan doesn't want to lose this opportunity to have the military department support him to pacify Ziqi and Luo Dian. Today, the saint has no judgment on this matter at all, and even the matter of Ziqi and Luodian's envoys asking for peace in Lin'an has been put aside. Bai Chun frowned and said.
Some time ago, Ziqi and Luo Dian had just made peace with the imperial court, and now it has not been a few months, and the imperial court is about to rebel and send troops to pacify it again, which makes Bai Chun feel that the agreement of the imperial court is a bit too child's play.
"This matter is not to blame on the saint, not to mention, the saint succeeded to the throne smoothly with the support of Han and Zhao, so at this time, the saint naturally cannot veto the proposal of Han and Zhao. With me leaving Lin'an, Han Yanxuan's role in staying in Lin'an is no longer great, there is Zhao Ruyu alone in the court, and his father Han Cheng is guarding, so he will never watch me make meritorious contributions outside, and he is guarding the court, so it is reasonable to plan to continue to calm Ziqi and Luo Dian. Ye Qing said while looking at Zhong Qing's letter.
"So is it that the next Lin'an Dynasty has become the place where Shi Miyuan and Zhao Ruyu struggled?" Bai Chun asked cautiously, and she was obviously not as keen as Zhong Qing in terms of the attitude of these officials above the court.
"Yes, so to speak. In fact, what Zhao Ruyu wants more is that in the process of his struggle with Shi Miyuan, he tentatively challenges Han Cheng, the authority of the left minister, after all, he is the right minister, and he wants his authority to reach the peak authority when Tang Si retired as the right minister. But it's a pity that Zhao Ruyu doesn't know what it means to be greedy and chewy, he only knows that he has the advantage of being a clan, but he doesn't know his weaknesses and disadvantages at all. Ye Qing put down Zhong Qing's letter and said with a sneer.
"In this way, isn't Zhao Ruyu undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg? Can't he see it? Bai Chun asked with a silly and sweet expression.
"The bystanders are confused, even if Zhao Ruyu thinks of it in his heart, it doesn't mean that he will pay attention to it, the desire for power has already made him a little dizzy. What's more, in his opinion, he still has the clan Qingwang and others behind him to support him, so this naturally fuels his inner ambition for the court, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant. Ye Qing said with some regret.
The current situation is more and more favorable to him, after the first day, as Han Yanxuan leaves Lin'an, Zhao Ruyu must immediately take action in the court, hoping to consolidate his right minister's power, and then use the battle with Shi Miyuan to test the authority of Han Cheng, the left minister.
Ye Qing believes that once Zhao Ruyu and Shi Miyuan go head-to-head, Zhao Ruyu will inevitably rely on his identity as the right minister of the clan and begin to point fingers at Han Cheng, the left minister, so as to take this opportunity to achieve the ability for Han Cheng to gradually cooperate with him to attack Shi Miyuan above the court, and then to listen to him to give orders with respect to him, so that Han Cheng's authority above the court will gradually be taken away by him, and finally achieve the court scenery when Tang Si retired as the right minister.
Naturally, this is just a good opportunity for Ye Qing to use Liu Dexiu and King Qing to add fire to the secret war relationship between Zhao Ruyu and Han Cheng, once Han Cheng faintly sensed that Zhao Ruyu had the intention of challenging his authority on the left, and Liu Dexiu of Huainan East Road happened to be impeached by King Qing's recital in the court, so just imagine, at this time, Han Cheng would still think that Ye Qing was behind the ghost?
What's more, at that time, Ye Qing, like Han Yanxuan, was already on the way to his respective destinations with his army, so in the end, this account would still be counted on Zhao Ruyu's head, and Han Cheng would think that Zhao Ruyu had united with King Qing and suppressed his relatives in the clan.
"What did Zhong Qing say in the letter?" Bai Chun frowned, Ye Qing's explanation just now, she was dizzy and confused when she heard it, and now she didn't fully sort out whether the person who benefited in the end would be just Ye Qing.
"It's nothing, it's similar to this letter about Han Yanxuan." Ye Qing said as he handed the letter to Bai Chun, and then said: "Tell Zhong Qing to bear with it again, after the Yuan Day, everything she wants to see should be clear, so that she must not act rashly in Lin'an." As for Huang Guifei mentioned in the letter...... Make a fake bait and throw it to Zhao Ruyu, presumably when the time comes, Zhao Ruyu will definitely be able to use it. ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Chun instantly felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, just like the last time she and Zhong Qing persuaded Zhao Ruyu to support the crown prince's succession in Yipinlou, and faintly felt that Ye Qing seemed to have dug a big hole for Zhao Ruyu again.
"Zhao Ruyu is not Han Cheng's opponent, and he is not even Shi Miyuan's opponent, as long as Shi Hao can survive for a long time, then Shi Miyuan is basically invincible above the court. Otherwise, why do you think he can still stand tall above the court at this time. So once Zhao Ruyu loses power and feels the crisis, he will inevitably ask the saint to come up and uphold justice, at that time, as long as he releases a trace of the queen's dissatisfaction with Huang Guifei to Zhao Ruyu, just imagine, Zhao Ruyu, who has begun to find shelter, will ....... ”
Without waiting for Ye Qing to finish speaking, Bai Chun interrupted Ye Qing's words and said coldly: "Don't say it, I know how to reply to Zhong Qing." ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Chun put down the letter, and walked outside the study without looking back, but after walking to the door, he turned around and stopped, and there were still the lively and cheerful and carefree laughter of the little guys outside, Bai Chun thought for a while and said: "I also want to help Zhong Qing avenge her hatred, but ......." ”
Bai Chun's eyes slowly looked out of the window, listening to the carefree innocent laughter outside, and turned around and walked out: "But I also hope that you can think about the future ...... for the children." ”
Looking at Bai Chun's back, Ye Qing smiled helplessly, why didn't he want to, but ...... Now even if he wants to leave it all behind...... But I'm afraid it's even harder than continuing to survive the deception!
