Chapter 773: Back to Yangzhou
The morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, and Shi Miyuan, who had been sitting in the study for a long time, finally got a reply from the Imperial City Division.
After opening it excitedly, I saw five words written on it: Thank you, I know.
Although it was only a simple five words, Shi Miyuan kept staring at those five words, as if he had been staring at them like this, and the words in front of him would become his favorite money.
Liu Zhao, who came in a hurry, looked at Shi Miyuan's appearance, and after Shi Miyuan signaled, he carefully picked up the letter placed in front of Shi Miyuan, looked at the five words on it, and said with some surprise: "Ye Qing gave it to you?" ”
"Not bad." Shi Miyuan said lightly, then got up and sighed, opened half of the window, let the cold air enter the study, and said, "Then does he know or not?" ”
Shi Miyuan, who turned around, frowned, and looked like two people when he was in front of Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan on weekdays, and Shi Miyuan's official authority at this moment was fully displayed, and the majesty of the superior who had been in the top position for a long time on his body was also unobstructed.
"It's ......." Liu Zhao's head couldn't react a little, and it was clearly written on it that he knew, why did Master Shi still wonder about Ye Qing, did he know it or not?
Looking at Liu Zhao with a puzzled face, Shi Miyuan smiled silently: "There are doubts in your heart, right?" Yes, I am judging when he Ye Qing knew that Zhao Ruyu invited Zhao Shicheng and Zhao Kai to the banquet because I went to the Imperial City Division to inform him, or did I say ...... Before this, Ye Qing already knew. ”
Liu Zhao nodded clearly, I couldn't imagine whether Shi Miyuan knew or didn't know, it turned out to be such a meaning.
"Since Ye Qing is still in charge of the Imperial City Division, he did not stop King Qing from going to the banquet, so it seems that he obviously doesn't know about it." Liu Zhao said analytically.
"Do you believe that the Imperial City Division, whose hands and eyes are in the sky, can't even detect this?" Shi Miyuan smiled disdainfully, and then continued: "But no matter what, what Ye Qing said at the beginning still seems to count, and we can use it now in the Imperial City Division, but ...... Is it possible to win over some people to my advantage? ”
Liu Zhao listened to Shi Miyuan's words, and at this time it was a real realization, it seems that Shi Miyuan was in a hurry yesterday and wanted to inform Ye Qing that Zhao Ruyu's banquet to the King of Xin'an County and King Qing was fake, the main purpose was to take a look and try to see if this Imperial City Division was really as Ye Qing promised, and after Ye Qing left Lin'an, he would listen to Shi Miyuan's dispatch.
"I believe that with the prestige of an adult, it shouldn't be a problem to win over some people from the Imperial City Division." Liu Zhao immediately agreed.
Shi Miyuan's expression did not show the pride of following easily, but continued to think seriously and shook his head: "Song Qian was won by me once, but in the end, it fell short, and Ye Qing noticed it, so this time, we must be more cautious and cautious." ”
Song Qian had already been used by his historian at that time, but because of the matter of Xinwangfu, in order to protect Shi Hao, Song Qian died that night, and even in the end, he couldn't even distinguish the corpse, whether the flesh and blood was blurred or not Song Qian's person.
So with the lesson of the last time, this time Shi Miyuan obviously would not be so careless again, not to mention that this time, it was a real failure, if it wasn't discovered, he might have discovered a bigger secret in Ye Qing.
And the Imperial City Division is obviously just a cover for Ye Qing, behind the Imperial City Division, there must be a bigger secret organization hidden, if he can know this, Shi Miyuan dares to guarantee that in his own hands it is equivalent to having Ye Qing's treason and defection to the enemy, or ironclad evidence of forming a party for personal gain!
At the same time, as the rising sun rose higher and higher, on the Qiantang River, which was becoming more and more lively, a boat carrying Ye Qing and others also began to set off for Yangzhou.
Li Fengniang, who was standing on Phoenix Mountain, knew that she didn't know which of the boats coming and going on the river was carrying Ye Qing, but she still smiled and waved at the boats coming and going on the river, as if she was parting to see her off.
Po Li San walked to the deck from the cabin below, and Ye Qing at this time was standing on the bow of the boat with King Qing chatting and laughing.
Ye Qing, who looked relaxed, did not ask about King Qing's trip to Zhao Ruyu's mansion yesterday, but he was a little like King Qing who was a thief, and when facing Ye Qing at this time, he was always a little unable to let go and absent-minded.
"You can take a look at the mansion given to you by the imperial court, if you are not satisfied with King Qing, you can choose the large and small mansions in Yangzhou City, and the cost will be ...... at that time." Ye Qing said with a smile: "It's up to Chongguo Gong to help you, after all, now in Yangzhou, Chongguo Gong can be said to be the leading rich man, and he doesn't care about this little money, so it should be a welcome gift for you." ”
"How can this kind of thing work to respect the country, this king has saved some money in his hands over the years. What's more, a few days ago, Princess Qing had already gone to Yangzhou, and now that the king has passed, I am afraid that the mansion has almost been cleaned up. The smile on King Qing's face was a little stiff, and he had been torn between contradictions in his heart, whether to tell Ye Qing, who didn't know the truth about yesterday.
Po Li San pretended to be a passenger on the boat, and watched Ye Qing from a distance from time to time, at this time, he was eager to kick Ye Qing into the Qiantang River.
What did Ye Qing let his sailor do, he even let himself pretend to be a water bandit to rob Shi Miyuan's finances, this kind of thing, he thought of it, but it was difficult for him Li Bao to do it.
After all, it was also the commander of the Imperial Navy back then, although it eventually fell into the forbidden army, but once he re-entered the navy, in his Li Bao's eyes, he would be a real soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he pretend to be a water bandit like a child's play, it would be too embarrassing for their navy.
Ye Qing, who was chatting and laughing with King Qing, had already noticed Po Li San, after all, this ship was a ship belonging to the naval army under the command of others, but compared to their ships fighting on the water, this was just a passenger ship that had been reinforced and refitted.
Ye Qing listened to King Qing's words of refusal, and suddenly realized: "That's a rude affair on the part of the lower officials, and they actually forgot that Princess Qing and they had already taken the lead in going to Yangzhou." In this case, when we arrive in Yangzhou, how about the lower officials come to Weiqing to wash the dust? ”
King Qing looked at Ye Qing, who was enthusiastic and relaxed, and wanted to say that Zhao Shichun, the Duke of Chongguo, had already prepared a banquet in the Guogong Mansion, but as soon as the words came out, it became: "Lord Ye, this king has something...... This...... I have been holding it in my chest and blocking it uncomfortably, and I don't vomit and ...... unpleasantly. ”
"Isn't King Qing seasick? King Naqing ....... Ye Qing said in surprise.
"Definitely." King Qing smiled bitterly, looking at Ye Qing's sincere and worried expression at this moment, he was even more unhappy in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and said, "This king went to the Yiguo Mansion for a banquet yesterday. ”
"Yi Guogong? Right Prime Minister Zhao? So, yesterday was Lord Zhao who practiced it for you? Lord Zhao is obviously a person with a heart, and it is not in vain that you and Lord Zhao have met for a ....... Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief.
"Definitely." King Qing still looked solemn, looked at Ye Qing and stopped talking: "Last night, the Duke of Yi invited the king of Xin'an County and the king of this to the banquet together, and ....... ”
Looking at King Qing's hesitant appearance, Ye Qing's expression also became serious, after all, if it is too much to pretend to be stupid, then it is not simple but hypocritical, Ye Qing, who knows this, asked seriously: "Looking at King Qing's appearance, the lower officials guessed, could it be that the Duke of Yi Guogong was not practicing for you yesterday, but asking for you?" ”
After thinking about it, King Qing seemed to agree with Ye Qing's statement: "Well, so to speak, the meaning of the words is that I hope that this king can use the name of the royal clan to control your power on Huainan East Road, or ......." ”
"The Imperial Court?" Ye Qing asked.
"Yes, anyway......." Even though King Qing was blowing the winter river breeze at the moment, but in the face of Ye Qing's eyes who were suddenly serious and serious, he still felt uncomfortable and hot, Zhao Kai thought for a while and said: "In short, this king believes that the Duke of Yi did this for the sake of the court, but also for the stability of the royal family, so ...... So I still hope that Lord Ye, you don't have to go to your heart. ”
"So, King Qing is intentional?" The smile on Ye Qing's face gradually turned cold, just like the wind on the bow of this boat, he held the railing with both hands, and sneered in the wind: "King Qing is afraid that he is hopeful, although Zhao Ruyu has made meritorious contributions in supporting the establishment of the Holy Lord, but he is ....... Ye Qing turned around and looked at Zhao Kai, who was a little stunned, and continued: "But don't forget, the Holy Lord will never allow anyone to worry about that position. You went to Huainan East Road because Wang Huai gave you the idea, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the saint against you, but if King Qing and the king of Yiguo and Xin'an County walked too close, it is difficult to guarantee that the saint will not be suspicious. ”
"But the Duke of Yi is also for the court, for the sake of the saint, this heart can be said to be a ...... heaven and earth." King Qing frowned, at this time, he regretted more and more that he had believed Wang Huai's suggestion, so that he was involuntarily involved in the court struggle, and now even if he wants to get out and remain neutral, it is already difficult to go to the sky.
"King Qing must know what it means to add sin without words, right? Huainan East Road and other territories of the Great Song Dynasty face each other across the river, it is a place full of right and wrong, if the court wants anyone to be guilty, as long as it is placed on Huainan East Road. Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just talk about the nearest Zhao Shixiong, is he disloyal to the imperial court? As a pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, I have never let the Jin people harass my frontier again, but in the end? Ye Qing gave King Qing a meaningful smile.
Obviously, King Qing also knew that the matter of Zhao Shixiong back then was sent by Ye Qing to the north with the acquiescence of Zhao Gou, and although Zhao Shixiong was also brought back to Lin'an, how did he die in the end, until now, perhaps only the Imperial City Division and Zhao Gou know, and even the death of Zhao Shixiong's family, I am afraid that it is inseparable from Ye Qing in front of him.
"You mean the Yiguo Guild has ambitions?" King Qing asked.
"Or else?" Ye Qing sneered and continued: "From what you told me about King Qing, I can guess that Zhao Ruyu not only wants to catch my so-called treason and selfish behavior on Huainan East Road, but will even tell you in the end that Han Cheng and his son are harboring evil intentions, so that King Qing and the King of Xin'an County stay away from their advice, or Zhao Ruyu will also ask King Qing to pay attention to Liu Dexiu, the prefect of Huainan East Road, to see what this person is doing to the Han family, right?" ”
"You...... How do you know? Qing King Zhao Kai's face changed greatly, after all, what Ye Qing said was exactly what Zhao Ruyu told him.
And if it weren't for what Zhao Ruyu said, he would have thought that the entire officialdom of Huainan East Road was Ye Qing's talent.
"So obviously, if I, Ye Qing, want to betray the imperial court, take refuge in the Jin State, or form a party for personal gain, how can I give up the prefect to someone who is an opponent above my court? Isn't that self-defeating? Ye Qing sighed helplessly, his eyes began to look into the distance, making people look so tragic, turned around and smiled sadly: "Xiaguan knows that it is difficult to change King Qing's mind for a while, but as the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, there are transactions between Xiaguan and Xia Ren, but these are all things that the Emperor Taishang knows, as for whether Xiaguan formed a party on Huainan East Road and defected to the enemy and treason, after King Qing arrived in Yangzhou, he may be able to find the answer from Chongguo Gong, who is also a clan." ”
