1196 The rain continues

The drizzle, which had been drizzling for several days, became more and more uncontrollable today, and even since the afternoon, the rain outside has been getting heavier and heavier.

The bright Poli of Cining Hall began to rain heavily, and gradually began to fall a little raindrop, so that looking out through Poli, the outside scenery became more and more blurry and hazy.

Li Fengniang, who was leisurely and content, held her chin in her hand, and the time for worshipping the Buddha every day became shorter and shorter, so the daily boring days gradually increased.

Hearing the sound of gentle footsteps, she looked back carelessly, and watched Zhu Ye'er walk in, Li Fengniang sighed slightly and asked, "What's the matter, today Kuo'er went to the tall building with Han Ying to enjoy the rain?" ”

Zhu Ye'er smiled and put down the teacup in her hand, and said, "Today, the saint came to Yaxing, took Han Ying out of the palace, went to the temple to make a wish, and went to the palace to see ......." ”

"Yan Keji is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, this has just been a few days after becoming the ruler of the country, and he has begun to think about replacing a large mansion, this person's greed, it seems that it can't be stopped." Li Fengniang sighed leisurely, not caring about a mansion, but feeling awkward about Yan Keji's somewhat eager appearance.

What's more, whether she married into the prince's mansion back then, or later became the queen, or even the emperor, her family never took the initiative to open up and plead with her, the queen mother, but it was she Li Fengniang who took the initiative to help the family replace the mansion and promote some relatives to officials.

Obviously, compared to what she did when she first entered the palace, although the Yan family was still a rule in the palace, her father Yan Keji was a little too utilitarian, which made Li Fengniang really not have a good impression of Yan Keji now.

"It's just a mansion, not to mention that it's been empty for so many years, even if it's for Yan Keji, it's harmless." Zhu Ye'er said with a smile.

Li Fengniang nodded silently, now she is no longer willing to care about such a small matter, not to mention, as long as the Yan family does her duty in the palace and does not make the harem a miasma, then it is nothing for her family to follow some royal light.

"But I still have to tell Kuo'er a few words, although Yan Keji's actions alone are nothing, but if Han Yanjia also has to follow Yan Keji's example and follow Yan Keji's example, then this mouth will not be easy to clean up. Remember, when Kuo'er comes back, let him come over, although this matter is small, but I also have to remind him that he can't let the woman around him blow the pillow wind on him. Li Fengniang's mood is obviously not bad, although the rain outside has been falling for several days, and it is even getting heavier and heavier today, but at this moment, she is still quite peaceful in her heart, and she doesn't hate this rainy season very much.

"The Queen Mother is right, the slave must remember." Zhu Ye'er replied with a smile.

"Forget it, when Kuo'er comes back, you don't have to let him come over." Li Fengniang groaned slightly, and then said: "It's better to wait for this rain to stop, and then recruit Kuo'er when Ye Qing is summoned into the palace, you can't let the two of them stay like this, no matter what, you should try your best to resolve the contradiction between the two of them." ”

Zhu Ye'er was slightly stunned for a moment, her expression instantly became a little unnatural, and she even looked at Li Fengniang with some horror, and muttered: "Today, the saint left the palace, didn't he say that he was ordered by your Yi to invite King Yan to travel to Lin'an together?" In yesterday, Han Ying also went out of the palace and invited Xie Daoqing to accompany him today. ”

"When did Hongu give him his will?" Li Fengniang looked back at Zhu Ye'er a little inexplicably, and then looked at Zhu Ye'er's somewhat shocked expression, stood up suddenly, and said in an extremely sharp tone: "What did you just say?" Kuo'er also summoned Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing to accompany him today? ”

Looking at Li Fengniang's uncertain expression, Zhu Ye'er's heart began to sink unconsciously, and in an instant, a variety of bad premonitions came to her heart almost at the same time.

"Let Xie Daoqing accompany him today, just to accompany King Yan, so that King Yan will not get bored when he plays with the saint today. Although not many people knew about King Yan and Xie Daoqing, the relationship between Han Ying and Xie Daoqing was enough for the Holy Lord to know the ...... between the two of them. Zhu Ye'er's mind was blank at this time, and even she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Get out of the palace immediately...... Something is wrong! The teacup that Li Fengniang had just picked up in her hand slipped from her hand to the thick carpet under her feet, and the hot tea silently soaked the precious carpet under her feet.

"The Queen Mother ......." Zhu Ye'er looked at Li Fengniang's uncertain expression, and the whole person was also confused all of a sudden.

"It will never be so simple, Kuo'er will never summon Ye Qing to accompany him for no reason, there must be fraud in this! Qingqiu, immediately prepare a car to go to the palace. Li Fengniang said as she hurriedly walked out.

Zhu Ye'er hurriedly followed closely behind Li Fengniang, following Li Fengniang for so many years, it can be said that it was the first time she had seen Li Fengniang so out of shape and nervous.

Li Fengniang, who walked out of the Cining Hall quickly, looked left and right at the getting heavier and heavier rain, and as Qingqiu went to prepare the car, Jia She, who had been transferred to the guard of the Cining Palace, also ran over as soon as possible, preparing to escort the Queen Mother out of the palace.

Seeing Jia Shi running over, Li Fengniang recognized it at a glance, this person can be said to be Ye Qing's confidant.

Li Fengniang, who was dressed in a pure white cardigan skirt, didn't wait for Zhu Ye'er to hold up the umbrella in her hand and keep up, so she quickly met Jia She, who ran over, grabbed Jia She's arm, and asked anxiously: "This palace asks you, where is Ye Qing going today, do you know?" ”

Jia Shi was taken aback by Li Fengniang's panicked actions, in his eyes, the Queen Mother has always been a noble and gentle elegant nobleman who has always been a mother, and he has never seen the Queen Mother, and there are times when she is so nervous.

But even so, Jia Shi hurriedly replied: "The last general doesn't know the itinerary of King Yan today, and the last general is ordered by King Yan to guard the palace and the queen mother, you ......." ”

"Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm will always be by Ye Qing's side, you drive to the palace, take all your people, and go to the palace immediately!" Li Fengniang didn't wait for Jia Shi to finish speaking, and then rushed towards the coming carriage.

The umbrella in Zhu Ye'er's hand couldn't catch up with Li Fengniang's footsteps at all, and at this time, her hair was already wet with rain, and the gentle and noble Queen Mother looked extremely panicked at this moment, even with a hint of embarrassment.

Jia Shi did not hesitate to sit on the wheel, and after signaling Qingqiu to immediately summon the guards of the Imperial City Division to accompany him out of the palace,

Then he turned back to Li Fengniang, who was wiping the rain in the carriage, and said: "Mo Xiaobao went north on the order of King Yan, and Zhong Silkworm doesn't seem to be by King Yan's side, as for ......." ”

"Who is responsible for his safety on weekdays!" Li Fengniang in the carriage asked hurriedly.

"It's the last general, but it's ......." Jia She's head was full of question marks, because Li Fengniang was panicked, Jia She, who was confused at this time, couldn't help but be a little nervous inexplicably.

"What an idiot! He really thought that he would not be in danger in Lin'an! At this moment, Li Fengniang was already in a state of confusion, and she didn't listen to Jia She's explanation at all, and all she was worried about at this time was Ye Qing's safety: "If you are faster, rush to the Xinwang Mansion immediately!" ”

The bamboo leaves that Li Fengniang had wiped in the carriage looked at Li Fengniang, who was angry and nervous and worried, and couldn't help whispering: "Don't worry, the queen mother may not have an ......." ”

"Are you just as lucky as that idiot! Kuo'er is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty after all! Ye Qing's power in the north covers the sky, and there are people above the court who are obstructing and secretly provoking trouble, can't you see these things that have happened these days, Kuo'er is actually very jealous of Ye Qing's power? Zhao Shikui and others have been extremely trusted by Guang'er these days, and the defection of the Zuo brothers ....... ”

Li Fengniang shook her head a little angrily, and her heart was even more regretful, she still thought about things too simple after all, and ignored Zhao Kuo's feelings as an emperor!

"This palace should be on the second day after the wedding day of the expansion of the child, while the relationship between the two of them shows signs of easing, and the iron is hot, it really shouldn't be ......." Li Fengniang's expression suddenly became a little sad and shook her head: "I really shouldn't think about what else to hide, I really shouldn't think that there is really a perfect plan in this world...... ”

Li Fengniang, who shook her head sadly, gave people a feeling of weakness and helplessness at this time, and even Zhu Ye'er could feel the deep helplessness and hesitation on Li Fengniang's body at this time.

"I can't imagine that if Ye Qing is ...... because of this." The corners of Li Fengniang's eyes seem to have raindrops that have not been wiped clean, and they look particularly crystal clear at the moment.

Zhu Ye'er ignored the wind and rain outside, lifted the curtain and hurriedly urged Jia Shi to hurry up, and the guards of the Imperial City Division around the carriage had been far behind at this time.

On the other side, a carriage was quietly parked in the middle of the street, surrounded by soldiers in armor and with murderous expressions.

In the carriage sat Shi Miyuan, Shu King Zhao Shiyi, and his son Zhao Guicheng.

A soldier stepped on the rain under his feet and hurried to the carriage, telling Shi Miyuan in the carriage what was happening in the palace of King Xin, a square away.

Shi Miyuan's eyes in the carriage were staring at the missing moment in the corner of the carriage, and after the soldiers outside finished reporting, they looked at Zhao Shiyi, Zhao Guicheng and their father and son and smiled slightly, and then slowly spoke: "Wait for the sound of fighting in the palace to report immediately." ”

After the soldiers outside answered and left, Zhao Shiyi, Zhao Guicheng and his son, who were a little nervous, looked at Shi Miyuan and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Lord Zuo Xiang, what happened today...... It's true...... Are you really sure? ”

"If you believe that there are no soldiers in the palace...... Zhao Guicheng followed his father's question and asked nervously.

At this time, whether it was Zhao Shiyi or Zhao Guicheng, it was like being in a dream, they never thought that one day they would get their hands on the throne of the Great Song Dynasty.

"King Shu rest assured, since the reason why the lower officials did this, it was not because they would not save him when he saw death, but because the Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui was powerful in Lin'an City, and he secretly won over the two commanders of the front division of the palace and the guard division, even if the lower officials wanted to rush in immediately to save the saint, I am afraid that they would be like moths to a fire, and they would throw themselves into a net." Although Shi Miyuan claimed to be a lower official, he couldn't see the slightest humility in his expression and demeanor, and then continued: "The reason why King Shu was allowed to come to sit in the town was because he was afraid that if things changed, in this way, it can be regarded as a subordinate official who has lived up to the cultivation grace of the imperial court for many years. ”

"But...... If it is delayed for a long time....... Zhao Guicheng still had some uncertainty in his heart, he obviously never dreamed that he might become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty after today.

"Please rest assured, there is an eyeliner of the lower officials in the palace, and he will always keep an eye on every move in the mansion." Shi Miyuan's speech was very artistic, if Ye Qing was beside him, I am afraid that he would have to admire the five-body throw.

Between the lines, he never said even a word that wanted to rebel in front of King Shu's father and son, and he was still extremely worried about the saint of the palace, but because of his weak strength, he did not dare to confront the justice of Rongguo head-on, so he could only wait for the army to take advantage of the chaos to "save the driver".

But such words, listening to the ears of King Shu's father and son, are like the sound of pearls and jade, which seems so crisp and pleasant.

Shi Miyuan had obviously been prepared for a long time, and he had already planned how to use Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui, so in order to prevent Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui from being in the Xinwang Mansion and unable to develop the situation to the situation that Shi Miyuan expected, he had to leave his henchman Xia Zhen in the front of the palace, and let him plot rebellion for Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui at the necessary moment!

At the same time, in the backyard of King Xin's mansion, Zhao Kuo's face was gloomy, and the Zuo brothers turned a deaf ear to his orders, as if they hadn't heard them.

And Zhao Shikui, who was originally kneeling respectfully in the rain, also stood up slowly, looked at Zhao Kuo with a gloomy face, and persuaded bitterly: "Holy Lord, haven't you always wanted to get rid of Ye Qing?" Now that the minister has helped the Holy Lord, now as long as the Holy Lord gives an order and lets Ye Qing judge himself in front of you, the Holy Lord will immediately have one less confidant, and you no longer have to worry about whether the Northern Land will rebel under Ye Qing's leadership. The reason why the minister won over the Zuo brothers was not for the minister's selfish interests, but for the sake of the saint and the court. ”

"Does it also include the so-called 20,000 taels of silver that you Zhao Shikui borrowed from Shi Miyuan? Including you, Zhao Shikui, since October last year, has begun to win the hearts of the people in all walks of the south of the Yangtze River, and has he been sent from all walks of life in the north? Zhao Shikui, you now have four mansions in Lin'an City, two of which were given by Shi Miyuan, and the other two were promised by you to the Zuo brothers, and after the matter was completed, you promised to hand over the deed to the two of them as soon as possible. And these are the tip of the iceberg, as far as I know, in order to win over the Zuo brothers, they do not hesitate to use both money and women, Zuo Jiao, now you don't live permanently

There are so many people in the house, is your money enough? Ye Qing said lightly.

"Ye Qing, you are a bloody squirter!" Zhao Shikui became a little panicked in the heavy rain, these were extremely secret things, he didn't expect Ye Qing to know so much about it.

"Whether it's blood spurting people, you and I know it." Ye Qing looked at the dagger in his hand, then gently put it back into the wooden plate, sighed behind his hands, and continued: "Master Zhao, give you another chance, immediately remove these people, how about I intercede for you in front of the Holy Master?" ”

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Shikui, who was quite embarrassed in the rain, and then looked at the Zuo brothers who were indifferent even if Zhao Kuo ordered him to retreat, and the many soldiers behind him, he turned to Zhao Kuo slightly and said, "The Holy Lord still believes that it was you who calculated Zhao Shikui?" But does the Holy One think that all this is the truth? As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, the show has just begun. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed, and by this time, he had also realized that the layout that he thought was smart had turned out to be a wedding dress for others.

"Don't you think there's one less person who hasn't come?" Ye Qing said to Zhao Kuo with a smile, and then looked at Zhao Shikui, who had been quibbling in the heavy rain, and said: "Zhao Shikui, you are just a pawn being used now, it is too late for you to regret it now, once the matter develops to an unmanageable situation, Zhao Shikui, you just want to regret ......it." ”

Ye Qing said on the other hand, his eyes were constantly watching the group of soldiers behind Zhao Shikui and the Zuo brothers, and Shi Miyuan had not appeared until now, naturally because the current situation was not the situation he wanted.

For Shi Miyuan, only after the situation is completely chaotic can he fish in troubled waters, and this is also in line with the character and temperament of Shi Miyuan, who only likes to engage in intrigues behind his back.

So just when Ye Qing hadn't finished speaking, Xia Zhen, who was standing neatly among the soldiers in the heavy rain with a murderous intent, slowly raised the bow and crossbow in his hand.

Through the vague rain curtain, although Ye Qing couldn't see clearly, he could still vaguely catch which direction suddenly changed among the neat soldiers.

Almost at the moment when Xia Zhen pulled the trigger, Ye Qing's hand, which was originally behind his back, pushed at Zhao Kuo next to him.

The unsuspecting Zhao Kuo exclaimed in surprise, covering up the sound of arrows shot from the heavy rain, and Wei Jing, who was originally standing between the two of them and holding a wooden plate, was wide-eyed at this time, and the wooden plate in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the whole person began to slowly fall backwards.

"Ye Qing......." Zhao Kuo was caught off guard and was pushed down by Ye Qing, and when he stopped his body angrily and was about to question Ye Qing, he saw an arrow stuck in Wei Jing's neck, and the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, and then the whole person instantly stood in place.

And Ye Qing didn't pay attention to Zhao Kuo's angry questioning at all, pulled up Xie Daoqing next to him, and then dragged his other hand and stood in place, looking at Wei Jing, who was staring at Wei Jing with a pair of eyes twitching on the ground, and shouted at Han Ying, who was also at a loss: "Follow me!" ”

Ignoring Zhao Kuo's resistance, Ye Qing's hand was like an iron tong, firmly grasping Zhao Kuo's wrist, and rushing into the heavy rain with Xie Daoqing as soon as possible, Han Ying behind him came back to his senses and hurriedly followed, holding Zhao Kuo's other hand tightly.

Almost as soon as the four of them moved, there were several sounds of breaking the air in the pavilion again, and where Zhao Kuo and a few people were standing just now, there were already several more arrows.

"Stop!" When Wei Jing fell, the Zuo brothers immediately turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind them, but even so, among the soldiers behind them, there were still people who shot arrows again.

"What's going on Zuo Yu, do you want to rebel?" When Zhao Shikui watched Wei Jing fall, his whole mind was almost blank, and when several arrows were shot in the second round, Zhao Shikui immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned back to the Zuo brothers and asked.

"Who's shooting arrows!" Zuo Jiao wiped a handful of the rain from his face and yelled at a group of soldiers behind him.

And Xia Zhen, who was among the soldiers, shook his head at Langting with some pity in his eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Let's do it, there is no living mouth left!" ”

Just after Xia Zhen finished speaking, some soldiers in the heavy rain immediately pulled out the waist knives on their waists and stabbed at the other companions around them without hesitation, and after the first scream sounded, the entire backyard instantly became a mess.

And the Zuo brothers also drew their waist knives in one hand and held their bows and crossbows in the other hand almost at the same time, but under this sudden change of situation, it was difficult to distinguish who was friend or foe for a while.

And Ye Qing pulled the three of them to stagger through the Moon Gate, and the screams and fighting sounds immediately came from behind him, Ye Qing barely looked back, and pulled Zhao Kuo with his head and continued to run forward.

"What the hell is going on!" Zhao Kuo, who was dragged to run away passively, finally reacted and asked.

"What's going on? It's all good work for you! Shi Miyuan is the yellow finch, do you think you can hide all this from that old fox today? Ye Qing snorted coldly, and while dragging the three of them to continue forward, he said: "Today, Shi Miyuan is determined to kill you, the emperor, and set up a new monarch!" ”

Zhao Kuo stood on the spot in an instant, the four people standing in the heavy rain were like four chickens in the soup, Xie Daoqing and Han Ying were pale, by now, the two of them had been completely blinded, and they didn't know what had happened just now, how could the situation become a fight!

"You mean...... Are you saying that it's not just Zhao Shikui who is using me, even Shi Miyuan is also using me? Zhao Kuo was a little incredulous.

Ye Qing looked at the chaotic fighting sound behind him that was still in the distance, wiped the rain on his face and said, "You are still smart, not too stupid!" ”

"So what do we do now?" Xie Daoqing's voice asked with a hint of trembling.

When Ye Qing looked back behind her, Xie Daoqing also unconsciously followed Ye Qing to look behind her, the sound of fighting and screaming not far away made her whole body tremble involuntarily, and her legs felt as weak as stepping on cotton at the moment.

"What else can I do, of course, I want to find a way to hide first and wait for reinforcements." Ye Qing shook Xie Daoqing's somewhat cold hand vigorously and said.
