Ye Qing didn't know why, he was always easily provoked by Zhu Xi, and then he would scold him regardless of his image.

When he had not yet made his mark, he used to scold Zhu Xi and others in front of many literati in West Lake, like a shrew, and now he scolded Zhu Xi again, and even more naturally Lin'an, who directly imprisoned Zhu Xi in the big man of the Imperial City Division.

Counting it carefully, in addition to Zhu Xi's easy provocation of him Ye Qing's scolding regardless of his image, there is another person, Lu You, who was also once blocked by him at the door of someone's mansion and scolded.

When Xin Qiji was still in Lin'an, he once highly respected Zhu Xi, but this time when Ye Qing didn't know that Zhu Xi proposed the people of the world to repair the Confucian Temple, Xin Qiji actually refused his idol's request many times, which shows that Zhu Xi is really fucking hateful.

Ye Qing, who woke up, didn't seem to be happy with abusing Zhu Xi last night, and began to attribute the reason for Xin Qiji's rejection of Zhu Xi to Zhu Xi's hateful reasons, not because Xin Qiji was because of his intentions and because he was worried about this year's grain harvest in the northland, so he refused Zhu Xi's repair of the Confucian Temple.

"My lord, even if Lord Xin sends someone to guard the Confucian Temple, I'm afraid it will take half a month to come and go, do you want to ......."

"Naturally, I'll go right away." Ye Qing sat on the threshold basking in the sun, and said directly: "Even if Xiao Zhen asks, don't pay attention to it, and directly block the Confucian Temple." ”

"Yes...... There's always a need for a reason, right? If you don't get this thing right, it's a double-edged sword...... Zhong Silkworm said with some worry, Ye Qing scolded too proudly last night, and only thought about not letting the literati go to worship, but forgot that in this way, it might attract accusations.

"On the grounds that the Confucian Temple had to be repaired, for example, there were many dangerous places in it, and it was easy for people to die, so before the repair, in order to protect the saint from being disturbed, no one else was allowed to enter the worship for the time being. By the way, and you, don't wear armor, don't bring spears and crossbows, just bring only a waist knife, so as not to disturb the saint who has been sleeping for a long, long time. Ye Qing said at the end, and unconsciously laughed first.

Zhong Silkworm smiled and said, "Yes, my lord, the last general knows what to do." That's what to arrange. ”

As Zhong Silkworm left, Shen Mu, who followed Ye Qing all the way north from Yangzhou, walked over quickly, and after seeing Ye Qing's signal, he sat down on the other side of the threshold, and then took out a letter and said: "My lord, this is about the court Since the great court meeting, Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan have wantonly arranged the list of their cronies, Shi Miyuan has added seven people, and Han Yanzhou is not to be outdone, and has also placed as many as seven people in the court. And two of them obviously paid attention to the Imperial History Tower, so they installed a lot of Imperial History and Speech Officials in the Imperial History Tower, and it seems that this is intended to prepare for attacking each other in the future. ”

"The Imperial City Division is in my hands, and it is difficult for them to make up their minds, not to mention that now the queen's henchman and eunuch Qingqiu is also in the Imperial City Division. Therefore, they can only fight the idea of the Imperial Historical Observatory, so as to find evidence of the handle of other officials in the court through the Imperial Historical Observatory, etc., or continue to win over the henchmen under their command. Ye Qing said with a smile on his face.

"The Imperial Observatory ......." Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "In this way, wouldn't the Imperial Historical Observatory become the best place for them to eliminate dissidents and win over their henchmen?" No wonder they have the idea of beating the imperial history platform one by one, the imperial history is the wind and the words are also so powerful, so as long as there are people in the court who don't want to go with them, they can use the imperial history and the officials to impeach, attack, or coerce and induce? If that's the case, sir, you have to be careful. ”

The corners of Ye Qing's mouth showed a touch of disdain, and he smiled

He said: "The Imperial City Observatory is just a rumor, the Imperial City Division was personally inscribed by Emperor Gaozong back then: Xiao Shi is hungry, that is, the arrest and treatment, and the authority of the Chinese and Israeli Shenwen, so there will be no threat to me for the time being, after all, the Imperial City Division has woven up the charges, which is more thorough than the Imperial History Terrace, but it is possible to pour dirty water on me through public opinion, but now, looking at the posture of the two of them above the court, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of me for a while." ”

Shen Mu was originally an official of the Song people under the rule of the Jin people, and later committed suicide after being questioned by Zhu Xi in a letter from Haizhou Zhizhou, he was sent to Zhizhou by Ye Qing.

This may be the real estrangement between the officials of the north and the south, so Ye Qing also complied with Shen Mu's intention and placed him beside Xin Qiji, so that since he arrived in Sizhou, Shen Mu has been accompanying him to the north.

"My lord, there is a sentence that the lower official doesn't know whether to say or not, but don't say it, it's uncomfortable to block your heart." Shen Mu looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"You want to talk about Zhu Xi, right?" Ye Qing turned his head to look at Shen Mu, who nodded, and then said, "The death of Zhao Bingwen, the governor of Qianhai Prefecture, is indeed related to Zhu Xi, so you want to avenge Zhao Bingwen?" ”

"It's not about revenge, it's just that the lower officials feel that after the adults recovered the lost land, they appointed and dismissed a large number of officials under the original Jin people, such as the lower officials. And those of us have always been haunted by Zhao Bingwen's death back then, as well as the names of the people and officialdom in the south for us who are reformers, so the lower officials are worried that if they are adults, they will ...... This time, if he and Zhu Xi jointly proposed to repair the Confucian Temple, I am afraid that it will cause some officials in the north to be secretly dissatisfied. So do adults have to think about this? Shen Mu's expression was calm, and he watched Ye Qing say the worries in his heart without any scruples.

When the Northland was just recovered, it was far from being as peaceful and stable as it is now, coupled with the raging floods, and there were bandits and grass everywhere, the entire Northland seemed to have returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty, but at the beginning, the court did not care about it at all, and the Northland was a complete mess and there was no order at all.

If it weren't for Ye Qing's timely resettlement of the victims, as well as the purchase of a large amount of grain from Huainan Road, and even from various roads south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that although the entire northern land would not be full of smoke again, it would be absolutely inevitable that thieves would run rampant.

Shen Mu greatly admired Ye Qing's decisive skill in governing the Northland, the resettlement of the displaced people, the arrival of disaster relief food, and the rapid and decisive repair of the river embankment and other measures, all of which made the original Northland officials look at Ye Qing with admiration, coupled with Xin Qiji and others to help Ye Qing with all their might, so that after the Beidi was recovered by the Song Dynasty, it was able to pass the most dangerous period in a very short period of time, without giving the Jin people any opportunity to immediately regain the lost land.

But now even if Ye Qing has been able to firmly control the officialdom of the entire northern region, there are still a large number of original Jin officials, and they will continue to serve in office after changing to the official government of the Song court, and Zhao Bingwen's death, although there is no big movement, but no one is a fool, how can he not know that Zhao Bingwen's death is related to the Song court and Zhu Xi?

What's more, in their eyes, there is only Ye Qing now, and there is no Song Court at all, and this issue has always been a problem that Ye Qing and officials at all levels deliberately avoided, and now the northland seems to be stable, but if there is a little bit of something contrary to the officials and the people, then the original officials who have been staying in office in the past few years will not stand up another banner to sit on an equal footing with Ye Qing in this northland, which is like three no matter what.

The lack of legitimacy recognized by the Song court in the north is a well-known thing, one of which is because of the open and secret struggle between the Lin'an court, so that Ye Qing did not dare to let the officials interfere in the appointment and dismissal of officials in the north. The second is that the imperial court has always regarded the northern land as a precautionary Jin people to go south again

cannon fodder, so he has no intention of making wedding dresses for others, and he is afraid that once the people's livelihood and economy in the north improve, he will be cheaper again.

Coupled with other reasons, large and small, the northland now seems to be the territory of the Song Dynasty, but it is always a little bit worse in terms of legitimacy and legitimacy, just like the man and woman have lived together, but they have not received the marriage certificate, lacking a sense of ritual and belonging, which also makes the relationship quite fragile, and even broken at the touch of a button.

"What you said is good, but if you don't repair the Confucian Temple at the moment, you will lose some of the people's hearts, and if you repair the Confucian Temple, you will really offend some officials because of Zhu Xi, or chill their hearts, so before coming up with a countermeasure, I can only order Zhong Silkworm to block the Confucian Temple and not allow anyone to worship." Ye Qing scratched his head, this was indeed a tricky thing for him.

Shen Mu also sighed, this is also the reason why he feels embarrassed, from Ye Qing's point of view, this is indeed the case, if it is not repaired, the people who do not know the truth will discuss it, and if it is repaired, the officials who know some of the truth but do not investigate the interests behind it will feel a little chilly because of this, it is simply difficult to ride a tiger now.

"People always consider the gains and losses from their own point of view, and not many people are willing to consider the problem from the other party's point of view. So, this is normal, no wonder the people, no wonder the officials, if you want to blame, you can only blame me for this tricky matter. Ye Qing lowered his head helplessly and smiled, and Shen Mu, who looked sad on the side, could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

His duty is to remind Ye Qing that as for the solution, he has not yet had a good solution for a while, so what he can do is to try to make Ye Qing understand that this seemingly inconspicuous matter, once it is a little wrong, it will cause a great turmoil related to the stability of the Northland.

"What are you going to do? We can't be delayed here all the time, we see that we are about to arrive in Jinan, but we were stopped by such a bad thing. And...... Now there are still envoys of the Jin people waiting in Jinan Mansion, if Lord Ye is in Qufu and delays it any longer...... It is difficult to guarantee that those imperial histories of the Lin'an Dynasty will not slander adults with this matter. Shen Mu took a deep breath and reminded Ye Qing again with a solemn expression.

"Yes, the Lin'an court will think that I, Ye Qing, am a thief, so I hesitate and dare not meet with the Jin envoys, or they will think that they are giving the Jin envoys time to mediate in Jinan Mansion. It's a real headache! Ye Qing drooped his head, why didn't there be a worry-free thing!

"The lower officials think that the adults should also take the matter between the envoys of the Jin people as the priority, no matter what, they must rush to Jinan Mansion, as for how the Lin'an court will think, as the adults just said, it is just some ill-intentioned offensive words, but if there is a lot of resentment in the north at this time, or if the officials are dissatisfied, I am afraid it will really endanger the prestige that the lord has built up in the north." Shen Mu pondered and proposed.

"It seems that this trip to the Confucian Temple is inevitable, no matter what, the limelight cannot be taken up by these literati and Zhu Xi. As for the people's grievances or the officials' dissatisfaction, it depends on whether Zhu Xi will give in and repair the Confucian Temple in the name of my Ye Qing. After Ye Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Mu and smiled.

Shen Mu was first surprised, and then rejoiced: "Repair in the name of adults? This is naturally the best, but those literati seem to be arrogant, but which one is not ....... ”

"And let them pay for the repairs themselves, and I, Ye Qing, am the only one who initiates it, and it is my initiative that allows them to gather here." Ye Qing patted his knees, then stood up and said, "Ponder, if Zhu Xi doesn't come today, tomorrow we will go to the Confucian Temple and meet those literati!" ”
