Chapter 312 Embattled
The mansion of Li Dao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian came to visit again, and this time, the two of them had more gifts in their hands, although they couldn't see the sincerity of the two, but at least they could see that the two were persistent.
Li Dao didn't really want to see Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, even if he didn't say anything, he somewhat understood what was going on.
But this time there was Lu Zujian to follow, so for the sake of meeting with Lu Zujian's colleagues in the officialdom, Li Dao couldn't really turn him away during the Yuan Day.
Since Yuan Ri, Ye Qing helped him solve the dilemma of Xia Ren Ren Lei Xingshi's questioning, and because of Yuan You's armillary celestial instrument in these days, he has dealt with Ye Qing a few times, so that his prejudice against Ye Qing has become a lot lighter these days.
In particular, he helped him take Ren Lei, the Xia people, and then locked up in the Imperial City Division and still hasn't released it, which made him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Originally, I was very worried that Ye Qing would let Ren Lei go before Li Fengniang got married, which would bring some uncertain hidden dangers to the prince's wedding in a few days.
But in the past few days, through the observation in Lin'an City, and even sent people to squat at the gate of the Imperial City Division, they did not find a few people who interceded for the Xia people, except for Dali Temple, even the Xia envoys Su Zhiyi and Han Daochong had not been to the Imperial City Division.
And Dali Temple went to the Imperial City Division of dignitaries, until now, Li Dao is not clear, whether this is the idea of Tang Shuo, the secretary of Dali Temple, or the idea of Lu Zujian, who came to visit him in the mansion today.
However, in Li Dao's opinion, since Lu Zujian still dared to send a famous assassin to visit, it must be Tang Shuo's idea more, right?
"You're not worried at all?" On the edge of the West Lake, there are already three fish in Wang Lun's fish basket, while Ye Qing's fish basket is still empty.
"Worried about what?" Ye Qing's eyes were glued to the fishing rod, could the fish in the West Lake recognize people? You can see who has the right to not do it! Why don't you take the bait, you have to compete with yourself.
"Naturally, it's the matter of the Yuanyou Armillary Sphere, do you dare to guarantee that your Yuanyou Armillary Elephant can be seamless, so that the dignified Confucian Zhu Xi can't find fault?" Wang Lun glanced at Ye Qing's fish basket with disdain and said.
"Emperor Taishang, his old man, if you believe in the Yuan Yu Armillary Sphere, then everyone's suspicion is just suspicion, in my opinion, it is a fart! But if the emperor is not satisfied, even if the Yuan You armillary instrument elephant is exquisite and beautiful, no matter how magnificent and magnificent, it is also a crime of deception. I saw this clearly, so I didn't bother to pay attention to what Zhu Xi would say. Ye Qing said confidently.
"Before Li Daoyuan, he was also given the title of Longtu Pavilion Scholar by the Holy Lord, that is to say, the secret you put in the Longtu Pavilion about the Yuanyou Armillary Celestial Elephant will no longer be a secret in Zhu Xi's eyes, he can check it at will, and then find out the flaws and loopholes." Wang Lun quietly looked at Ye Qing's side face that was almost as calm as the surface of the lake and said, "This is a digression, forget it after listening to it." ”
"I never thought that Li Daohui would remember my favor." Ye Qing said quietly, but his brows furrowed unconsciously.
"After the prince's wedding, your situation is in danger. Have you thought of a way? Wang Lun's brows also furrowed.
"When I came out of Tang Si's retreat from the mansion, King Xin asked me about Li Lingniang, and I didn't run away from it, and the account was already on my head. Li Dao's matter, coupled with Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian's obstruction, after the prince's marriage, he will obviously be angry with me for his son Li Lifang. Tang Si retired...... Jin Ren went to his mansion, and he gave Jin Ren twenty girls and other property, so the matter of Jiaxing and Sizhou, although Jin Ren will not chase the wind and shadows, but he must rather settle this foolish account on my head, right? Ye Qing pulled the fishing rod again, but the hook was still empty.
"Yes, you are still one side away from being embattled, if you count Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, you will be truly trapped in embattled." Wang Lun suddenly laughed and said.
Ye Qing also laughed with Wang Lun, and said, "How do I think, now maybe I jump into the West Lake and drown myself, which is the best policy." ”
"I feel the same way." Wang Lun stopped the smile on his face and said, "The Longtu Pavilion Scholar actually can't save your life. ”
"King Xin can't be provoked, Li Dao is immediately the new imperial relative, and he can't be provoked, Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, is now on the rise and is eating away at Tang Siwei's forces, so I still can't afford to provoke ......." Ye Qing nodded resignedly and analyzed.
"So our family wants to know, what do Tang Siwei and Tang Shuo want to keep now? If all the courtiers, officials, people, and people in the world all knew that Tang Sihui gave twenty young girls and other property to the Jin people in order to put pressure on the imperial court, what do you think his situation would be? Although Wang Lun was showing Ye Qing the way, his brows were furrowed even tighter than Ye Qing.
Since Zhao Gou unexpectedly appointed Ye Qing as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, everything that happened next was completely interlinked in the general direction, interlocking with each other, so that Ye Qing, the commander of the Imperial City Division, had to offend everyone above the court.
Then until everyone is offended by Ye Qing, until Zhao Gou's interests are maximized, then Ye Qing will be impeached by the courtiers, and then Zhao Gou will adapt to the situation and sacrifice Ye Qing to take care of the overall situation.
But obviously, it has not yet reached that point, Tang Sihui took the lead in Zhao Gou's sight, especially in the past few days, the Imperial City Division has been lying down almost eight times a day to run to the Hening Gate, telling Wang Lun about the approximate transaction between Tang Sihui and the Jin people.
Although the Imperial City Division has not been able to do it and completely infiltrate the corners of the Tang Mansion, at least now, what happened in Tang Siwei's mansion, Ye Qing and the Imperial City Division, Wang Lun and Zhao Gou, can completely know within an hour.
"I understand, don't worry." Fan Yang looked down on Ye Qing's face, showed a bright smile, and said to Wang Lun.
Wang Lun quietly looked at the bright smile on Ye Qing's face, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes, after putting down the fishing rod and standing up, his eyes were raised, looking at the lake that was still full of painting boats and laughter, and muttered: "Go to the Lonely Mountain Garden when you are in time, the will of the Emperor." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Lun looked down at the few fish in the basket, and then threw them into the West Lake with the basket, clapped his hands and walked to the shore.
Mo Xiaobao, who had been standing far away on the shore, accompanied Wang Lun in the direction of Lonely Mountain after Ye Qing waved his hand.
"It's a dilemma." Ye Qing sighed at the lake, this time when he pulled up the fishing rod, he actually caught a live fish.
Ye Qing knew very well in his heart that now he was in an embattled predicament, and in the final analysis, it was all given by Zhao Gou alone.
He is the knife in Zhao Gou's hand, when the blade is not curled and the sharpness is not lost, Zhao Gou obviously will not throw it, and even put it on the whetstone from time to time to sharpen it to make it sharper, more cruel and bloodier.
And this so-called whetstone is power, official position, wealth, and beauty, including every time Ye Qing's errand is like the whetstone in Zhao Gou's hand.
Tang Siwei is obviously gone, especially after offering a daughter to Jin Ren in the mansion, he is obviously not so important to Zhao Gou.
The appearance of a Qin Hui Zhao Gou can still bear it, but if there is another Qin Hui who threatens and pressures him with a golden person, Zhao Gou will obviously not pinch his nose and endure it.
But no one dares to guarantee that if Tang Siwei is gone, it will not cause any kind of turmoil in the court!
Therefore, when the sun was setting and the West Lake had been rendered into a golden lake, Ye Qing was still thinking about what Wang Lun said just now: Tang Sihui, Tang Shuo and Jin Ren conspired, what do they want to keep?
Keep his phase? As long as Tang Siwei no longer wants to go further, he, the right minister, must be dead, and Zhao Gou will not have an opinion.
Let Tang Shuo take over his phase? Back then, Qin Hui didn't persuade Zhao Gou to agree to him and let his son take over his position, Tang Siwei was not a fool, how could he not understand this truth.
Tang Hexi?
Ye Qing's shadow flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt that he had found the key point of the matter.
Yes, Tang Siwei and Tang Shuo want to keep his status as a wealthy dignitary of the Tang family, in the case of Tang Shuo's unbearable responsibility, Tang Siwei has always been optimistic about Tang Hexi, so it can be said that Tang Hexi is the top priority!
Ye Qing, who figured out this joint, looked at the watch on his wrist, put away the fishing rod and fish basket, looked at the fish in the fish basket that was still dying, and said with a smile: "Since you are not dead yet, then don't blame me for giving you a ride." By the way, it's four o'clock now, and it's five to seven o'clock in the unitary time, it's almost time to enter the palace. ”
Carrying a fishing rod and carrying a fishing basket on his shoulder, as soon as he stepped into the Yan family's villa, he saw Yan Qingzhi pushing open the window and shouting: "Brother Ye, how about not getting drunk tonight?" ”
"Drink it yourself, I have to go into the palace when I change my clothes." Ye Qing raised his head, took off Fan Yanglia and said.
"Thank you, Brother Ye." Yan Qingzhi suddenly shrank his head, and then quickly closed the window.
When Ye Qingzheng was inexplicable, he heard a silver bell-like laughter behind him, and saw Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng, accompanied by Liang Xing, walking in hand in arm.
To Ye Qing's surprise, the two girls didn't know what kind of illness they were committing, and they both wore the concentric locks they gave outside, and at this moment, under the little residual sun, there was still a faint golden light flashing on the chests of the two.
After explaining a few words to the two girls, he nodded to Liang Xing, so Liang Xing, who understood in his heart, followed Ye Qing to the room, watched Ye Qing change his clothes, and told him what the Imperial City Division was going to do next.
"Time is a bit tight." Liang Xing frowned tightly and said with some concern.
"It's not too tight, anyway, these days, every move of the Tang Mansion is under our surveillance. Find a few fresh faces, or ...... By the way, did you find the person you were looking for last time? Ye Qing raised his head and asked Liang Xing.
"Huh? About what? Liang Xing was a little stunned by Ye Qing's question.
"It's very close to Shi Miyuan, or a few people who obey Shi Miyuan's orders." Ye Qing took off his watch and handed it to Liang Xingdao: "You can't wear it when you enter the palace, give it to Bai Chun in a while." ”
