Wang Deqian hurriedly returned to the Gushan Royal Garden, first met the queen Xie Sufang who was sitting in the garden and enjoying the scenery, and the empress dowager Wu, and described in great detail what he saw and heard in the Yan family's courtyard in the West Lake to the queen Xie Sufang.

And Wang Deqian's cleverness lies in the fact that even if he saw it alone, when he narrated it, he didn't say a word with his own subjective position at all, just like a thoughtless person, just narrated what happened in the Yan family's courtyard just now, without any emotion.

"So, the Yan family does have a new dye secret recipe?" Xie Sufang glanced at the Empress Dowager Wu, and then a faint sadness flashed on her delicate face.

"Don't worry, listen to what he has to say, the Yan family has been able to protect you for all these years, and you have already done your duty. What's more, that ...... What's Yan called? Yan Hongyuan is right, he was careless and didn't win people's hearts, so that the shopkeeper of the dye workshop took refuge in his brother with the secret recipe, this is not something that you, a queen who has lived in the palace for a long time, can influence. And what about later? The Queen Mother patted Xie Sufang's hand, and after finishing with relief, she still had a gentle smile on her face and asked Wang Deqian.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the two brothers of the Yan family are confident, but the eldest lady of the Yan family is also quite confident, after learning that the secret recipe was taken away by her second and third uncles, she was not discouraged, although she agreed to divide the family, large and small workshops, including some porcelain workshops, etc., have made concessions. However, it seems to the slave that in the matter of the imperial business, Miss Yan has no intention of giving up. Wang Deqian lowered his head, and for the first time began to judge the Yan family's division with some subjective colors.

And the degree of bias is very measured, naturally I know who the queen is anxious about, so in the seemingly narration, even if it is judgment, there are some points of view that make the queen feel at ease.

"Mother Xie is relieved, Erchen is fine, but I feel that this approach is a bit unauthentic, but after all, it is the Yan family's business, and Erchen has done his best. The gains and losses of the imperial merchants, the sons have no ideas, just look at the creation of the Yan family. Xie Sufang turned around and smiled gently, although there was a knot in his heart, but he was already the best of his strength, and he had helped everyone who should be helped, so he couldn't interfere with the procurement in the palace for his own selfishness.

"Then in your opinion, what are the chances of winning for the young lady of the Yan family? This matter is related to the royal use, and the saint attaches great importance to it, except for the golden people in the north. When the Empress Dowager Wu said about the golden people, she sighed helplessly, and then continued: "In a few days, the dowry should also be given, this matter must not be careless and sloppy, the royal family always has a little face to preserve, and it is always necessary to bring forth the new, and it is always right to be brighter." ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slaves and maids can't see it very clearly, but whether it is the Miss Yan family or the other two Yan families, they all seem to be quite confident and win this year's imperial business." Wang Deqian continued to bow his head and answer, as for seeing Tang Hexi, the grandson of the right prime minister and the son of the military department, even if the queen and the queen mother didn't ask, it was not easy for him to make his own decisions, so after speaking, he bowed and stood aside.

As for the forbidden army that had just entered the Yan family's courtyard and was seen, it was obviously not appropriate to mention it to the queen and the queen mother, but should tell Wang Lun, after all, this matter was explained by the emperor.

"Let's go back on an errand." The Empress Dowager Wu said to Wang Deqian again with a pleasant face, and then turned around and continued to discuss with Empress Xie Sufang about the royal dowry in a few days.

After Wang Deqian received the order, he didn't care whether the queen and the queen mother would care about his re-salute and leave, and left in a hurry after bowing respectfully and meticulously.

Wang Lun was already waiting not far away, and after passing through the small courtyard, he saw Wang Lun smiling at him, and then slowly walked along the steps not far away, walking in the black and white corridor.

Wang Deqian took a shortcut and followed quickly, and then the two walked forward side by side, and before Wang Deqian could speak, Wang Lun had already opened his mouth and asked, "Have you seen the forbidden army called Ye Qing?" ”

"I saw it, I just walked in and saw it discussing things with the eldest lady of the Yan family, and I didn't see each other again, it is said that I went to Quyuan Fenghe and watched those shows to fight for leisure." Wang Deqian lowered his head and smiled, and said softly.

"That's good, that's good, I have written down this favor, what will the nobles use to our family in the future, just ask." Wang Lun smiled and nodded, and then the two stood still at a fork in the road.

"It's just a gesture, the noble person is polite, but if the saint asks the reason, our family is ...... Do you obey the will of the Emperor, or do you ......? Wang Deqian saluted at the same time, paused and asked.

"The saint asked how to say it, and the will drawn up by the emperor himself has already been shown to the saint, so the nobles don't have to take it to heart, but ...... It is limited to the saint alone, this matter is a matter of royal face, it is a royal secret, and you must not say much about others. Wang Lun didn't hide anything, and whispered.

"Yes, yes, we understand. Then let's go back and talk back first. "Wang Deqian and Wang Lun are of the same level, they are both nobles in the palace, but one serves the emperor, and the other serves the current saint, so the two of them don't have too many scruples when they talk together.

What's more, the relationship between the saint and the emperor is also extremely harmonious, and Zhao Yan has always been filial piety to the emperor Zhao Gou, and he is obedient, otherwise he would not have won the temple name after his death: filial piety.

The two parted ways at the fork in the road, Wang Deqian needed to send his errand to Empress Zhao Yanyu, and Wang Lun also needed to immediately tell Zhao Gou that the forbidden army was now in Quyuan Fenghe in West Lake.

Then we have to see if the Emperor is interested and in the mood to take the school examination in person, or to look at it from a distance.

According to Wang Deqian, the head of the forbidden army Ye Qing is tall and slender, his hair has been destroyed, and he has a ponytail, which cannot be considered to be due to unfilial piety.

More than a dozen people slowly came out of the lonely mountain, along the famous lonely mountain road, also called the straight path of Shijintang, to the Quyuan wind lotus place of the West Lake.

"Heaven and earth take life as the heart, and the sage counselor educates and educates, so that all things are right for their lives, which is the heart of heaven and earth; Establish righteousness and support Gangchang, which is the way for the people; Following the mastery, it is said that the Taoist system is stated, since Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen of Zhou, as for Confucius, as for Mencius, Mencius did not, its Tao is not preached, and it is the continuation of the study for the saints; Open the peace, it is said that there is a king, will take the Fa Lize, hang in the eternal world, the people and things, all Guiren, is for the eternal peace. Zhu Xi looked at Ye Qing without fear, and in the face of the verbal criticism of many literati, he even had the courage to shout and refute, so he stretched out his two hands and pressed them twice in the air and said.

Then, Zhu Xi didn't give Ye Qing a chance to distinguish, glanced at Li Qingzhao in the distance with a smile, and said freely and sincerely behind his hands: "Ye Xiaoyou has any objections to this sage's words?" The text has responsibilities, the military has orders, all things in heaven and earth are their own lives, and the so-called seeking their own government in their positions, and taking their positions to seek their responsibilities, scholars and Confucian scholars, and Confucianism are the world's hearts, lives, succession to learning, and peace, which is their vocation. Therefore: the literati avoid war and avoid disaster, not greedy for life and afraid of death, but actually ask for the lives of the world, the court, the scholars, and the people. For the continuation of the nation's cultural inheritance, why not say sinners? ”

Even Li Qingzhao had to admit that Lu Jiuyuan's simple single sentence just now forced Ye Qing to a dead end, although Ye Qingjian took the wrong side, and with relatively pungent words, he dissolved Lu Jiuyuan's hidden needle in a dangerous way.

But I also have to admit that Lu Jiuyuan didn't regard Ye Qing as an opponent to catch and kill at all, because he was disdainful in his heart, so he gave Ye Qing the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole and resolve the predicament with pungent words.

But Zhu Xi's remarks obviously went to the next level, and with the gist of Lu Jiuyuan's words just now, Ye Qing was like a loach slippery and escaped, and even rebelled against the army.

Now that Zhu Xi is speaking, he is relying on the sage who has inherited the thousand-year-old and the thousand-year-old Confucianism in China as the reason, just like a huge palm, pressing down on Ye Qing with the momentum of Mount Tai.

As he just said: "Since Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and King Wen of Zhou, as for Confucius, Mencius, and Mencius, they have not passed on their ways, and they have never learned for the sake of the saints." These words show that they are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the inheritance of thousands of years of Confucian culture, they have to be wronged and beg for the whole south.

Such a high-sounding reason makes it impossible to catch any loopholes and handles, and similarly, all the literati present applauded, and one by one they raised their might to Ye Qingyaowu, whose face was still as calm as water.

Such remarks cleared the way for their literati to continue to speak the world, promote writing, and guide the country, and also made the scholar and doctor class of their literati appear more noble and noble.

"It's bad, this is really pushing him to a corner, I'm afraid I'll have to peel off my skin if I don't die this time." Li Qingzhao shook his head, a little regretful that he answered just now, maybe he didn't answer just now, so Zhu Xi wouldn't have interjected, right?

After all, with his Confucian status and status, debating with a small forbidden army is a loss of identity and bearing.

Bai Chun was just about to take a step forward, when he saw Yan Qingcheng next to him also eager to try, but after the two women saw each other's actions, they both stopped at the same time, the two glanced at each other with worry, and then heard Ye Qing speak at this time.

"Understood, is the so-called social division of labor different? Just like the saying that the text is dead and the war is the core idea that Mr. just said? But I would like to ask Mr. Below, if the territory we are in now is under the city of the Jin army, like a dark cloud, the people are struggling to make a living, and the people are displaced, I would like to ask all the Confucian sages, do you stick to your position and stick to Confucianism, or do you hold Confucianism and die? Establish a heart for the world, establish a life, continue to learn, and open peace, but when the Jin army's iron cavalry tramples mercilessly, let me ask, where is the world of Confucianism? Where is Taiping? Ye Qing turned around and glanced at the panicked Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng with a dignified face behind Li Qingzhao.

Then his eyes fell on Zhu Xi's body and he continued to smile: "The imperial court has given you the soil to live on, and the soldiers have guarded the culture in your mouths with blood, but in retrospect, you not only have to scold the imperial court for being cowardly and cowardly, but also for scolding my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty for being greedy for life and afraid of death!" But if we die, the people can ignore the sky above their heads, as long as they can live. But what do you do? Reasoning with the Golden Man Iron Rider by mouth cannon? Or did you flee overseas in a hurry? Or is it incognito, or is it a monument for the golden tree? Literati have integrity, warriors have blood, you take it as your vocation to establish your heart, establish your life, continue to learn, and open peace, and the soldiers take obeying orders and defending the country as your vocation. So it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death to stick to the Song and Jin borders, you are already cold, not to mention that you can still sing and dance here! Bah! ”
