Ye Qing appeared in the front hall, Mo Xiaobao and Jia Shi said goodbye to Wu Lian with a smile, and then went to prepare a car for Ye Qing to go to the hot Gongji mansion for a banquet.

Looking at Wu Lian, who was slightly nervous and apprehensive, Ye Qing smiled easily and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

I haven't seen him for many years, and the momentum of Ye Qing's long-term officialdom is a little stronger than before, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant has been faintly formed, even if he doesn't need to be deliberately pretentious, it is enough for others to feel the pressure.

Wu Lian has always been in Xingqing Mansion, but he has not run south in the past two years, and Wu Lian is now on Jingzhaofu Road, so the number of times the two brothers meet has increased.

"A few days ago, there were two days of snowflakes in Xingqing Mansion, but it was snowing heavily in Liao, and the news that Xiaguan just got early this morning has not yet had a large-scale war between the Liao people and the Khorezmian people, but the tentative attack has been continuing, but this is already the norm, even before the Yuan Dynasty, it has not been interrupted." Wu Lian replied after hearing Ye Qing's inquiry.

"What about the inside of the Liao Kingdom?" Ye Qing's fingers tapped lightly on the table and asked.

Compared with the offensive posture of the Khorezm people against the Liao State, he is more concerned about whether the whole Liao State, especially between the North Mansion and the South Courtyard, has put aside the grievances between them and can fight the Khorezm people together.

"Xiao Li's attitude is very tough, and it seems that he would rather not fight against the Khorezmians than avenge his eldest son." Wu Lian said with some puzzlement: "My lord, the lower officials don't understand why this king of the Southern Courtyard has such a thorn, even if it is because the female emperor of the Liao State killed her husband, that is, the son of the king of the Southern Courtyard, but...... After all, this is a conspiracy with his second son, could it be that Xiao Lili only cares about his eldest son, not his second son? ”

"Maybe it's just an excuse." Ye Qing sighed slightly, and said: "The real purpose of Xiao Xuli is naturally to get rid of Yelu Pu Suwan, and then support the crown prince Yelu Zhilugu to ascend the throne, but he obviously doesn't want the prince to be able to influence the new monarch's actions after the prince ascends the throne, so he must use this as an excuse to get rid of Yelu Pu Suwan, so that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he can become the important minister of the new monarch." ”

Wu Lian nodded slightly, he naturally agreed with Ye Qing's analysis, but he was still a little surprised: "But if this is the case, wouldn't the price paid by the king of the Southern Courtyard be too great, two sons, he ...... Didn't he want to think about ....... ”

"His purpose is only for Jerupp to finish quickly, but for now...... Presumably, the second son has always been confused or coerced by Yelu Pusuan, so Xiao Hu Li Thorn had to turn the two of them against each other, but if there is a suitable opportunity, I am afraid that Xiao Hu Li Thorn will never want his second son's life. Just like that, if the two sons are dead, the price is indeed too great. Ye Qing sighed, with different cultures, it is difficult to figure out the minds of others in terms of some reasonable views.

As the orthodox people of China, they naturally agree with this, but in Liao, Ye Qing did not dare to guarantee that such a concept could prevail in Liaoguo and be fully recognized by the Liao people.

"Oh, by the way, this is Zhong Silkworm's letter, he has already reached the grassland. Temujin's side was fine, and Sangkun was also asking for help, but Zhong Silkworm ignored him. Wu Lian took out an unopened letter and handed it to Ye Qing and said.

Ye Qing nodded, and opened it in front of Wu Lian, Temujin's condition was that he hoped that after the Liao State affair was over, he would be able to help him contain Sang Kun and give him the opportunity to raid Zamuhe once.

"Okay, I got it." Ye Qing put the envelope back into the envelope again, then got up and walked back, and said to Wu Lian who was following behind: "Wu Juan is on the other side of the Yellow River, if I have time to meet him, once the Liao State is over, I still need to withdraw from the Xia State to the other side, so I need you to help me choose a route that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can not easily set up ambushes for others on the way." ”

"Easy to defend but difficult to attack, to prevent others from easily setting up ambushes?" Wu Lian was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Ye Qing meant by this, and he didn't know, Ye Qing's words, was it to guard against the Xia people?

Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Wu Lian who looked blank and thoughtful, smiled and said, "That's right, it's what you think." As the saying goes, you have to be on guard, and I'm worried that some people will be reluctant to see me go back to the other side of the Yellow River. ”

The words that were directly picked out made Wu Lian's first reaction was to think of the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't believe that the imperial court had the ability to block Ye Qing from crossing the river in the Yellow River, after all, the northern places such as Jingzhaofu Road and Dasanguan on the opposite side were all under Ye Qing's control, and it was difficult for the imperial court to infiltrate others to block Ye Qing, unless it was .......

Wu Lian's heart was shocked, and he looked at Ye Qing with some incredulity, what a cautious plan, Lord Ye is guarding against the fact that the Great Song Dynasty will secretly conspire with the Xia people, if this is the case, then Lord Ye's order can be easily understood.

"Yes, my lord, the lower officials and General Wu must live up to their mission, and they will start looking for a hidden retreat route tomorrow." Wu Lian said solemnly.

Ye Qing hummed, then nodded, and advised, "Be careful of Xia Ren." ”

Then he patted Wu Lian on the shoulder, and continued to walk outside the post house without looking back, Wu Lian looked at Ye Qing's tall back blankly, which often gave people the impression that Ye Qing was brave and unscrupulous, but because of good luck, he had today's status.

But now, what he sees more thoroughly is that the reason why Ye Qing can have everything today is completely because he never fights unprepared battles, everything that seems to be reckless to others, in fact, Ye Qing has analyzed it thoroughly, even ...... What others can't think of, he thinks of.

After all, Wu Lian had been in the Xia Kingdom for many years, and he had never thought that the Xia Kingdom, which was harmonious and close to Ye Qing on the surface, would one day make a black hand against Ye Qing, but after Ye Qing mentioned it like this, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think it was groundless.

In Lin'an City, Zhao Ruyu's face was like the gloomy weather that had been dark for several days, with dark clouds, but he didn't see even a little drop of the expensive spring rain.

Now Zhao Ruyu doesn't seem to know what to do, although he has already explained in front of the saint, although the saint has also forgiven him, and he has no intention of continuing to pursue his intentions, but the saint's hesitation and procrastination still make him feel uneasy in his heart, I don't know when the saint will bring up this completely inconclusive matter again.

Or, Han Cheng and the others, if they ask the Holy Lord to rehabilitate King Xin again, how should they respond!

The carriage slowly drove over the royal street, and Zhao Ruyu, who had been thinking about it, was not interested in the loud and lively scenes of people ringing in his ears, he wanted to figure out what was wrong, and why he suddenly fell into such a passive situation.

He doubted King Qing, but he didn't believe that King Qing would unite with Ye Qing to frame him, but he had to say that all of this was completely because King Qing impeached Liu Dexiu.

The moment Shang Shuliu of the military department stopped in the carriage, he jumped into the carriage quickly, and a series of actions made Liu Zheng still a little panting after sitting down in front of Zhao Ruyu in the carriage.

Zhao Ruyu was not in a hurry, smiled and nodded to Liuzheng, and then waited for Liuzheng's breath to catch evenly before asking, "How is the matter with Zhao's request?" ”

"Right Prime Minister, Xia Guan secretly sent someone to Yangzhou ......." Liuzheng said with blazing eyes.

"Yangzhou?" After Zhao Ruyu heard the word Yangzhou, his heart began to pound, is it really related to Ye Qing?

Liuzheng didn't care about Zhao Ruyu interrupting him, and continued: "Originally, the lower officials didn't have any eyebrows at all, but two days ago, the officials suddenly sent a transfer clerk, or about Liu Dexiu's three sons. The right minister knows that Liu Dexiu's greed for ink is a fact, so the court and the saint also feel that Liu Dexiu's letter of rehabilitation for the king is not enough to believe because of this matter. Although it is said that the left prime minister and the secretary are still ....... ”

"Let's just tell me what news you got in Yangzhou." Zhao Ruyu was a little breathless, and said directly to know the result.

"King Qing has taken a concubine, and this concubine ...... Before the first day, he was molested by the subordinates in Liu Dexiu's mansion, and he happened to be bumped into by King Qing and Liu Dexiu who passed by, and then King Qing saved the woman from the ...... palace. Liuzheng said calmly.

Is that true? Is it conclusive? Zhao Ruyu looked overjoyed, looked at Liuzheng and asked anxiously.

"Absolutely." Liuzheng said firmly: "In addition to this matter, Liu Dexiu's three sons were all transferred from Chenzhou, Jinghu South Road, and Dali Temple to Huainan East Road for dispatch, among them, doesn't the right minister think there is anything wrong?" ”

Zhao Ruyu was silent, if King Qing's concubine is true, then does it mean that King Qing had a conflict with Liu Dexiu, so he impeached Liu Dexiu for corruption?

But Liu Dexiu's three sons were ordered by the ministry to easily enter the officialdom of Huainan East Road? This...... Isn't it a little too incredible? In the past two years, the officialdom of Huainan East Road has not been able to intervene at all, and almost all the officials sent by Ye Qing were appointed by Ye Qing, and Wang Huai was unable to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of Huainan East Road, especially the officialdom of Beidi Fourth Road, which was recovered, so he became more and more unhappy with Ye Qing.

But now, the officials have easily put Liu Dexiu ...... Could it be that this is a long ...... between Liu Dexiu and Shi Miyuan, thinking of this, Zhao Ruyu instantly vetoed this idea, after all, Liu Dexiu is Han Cheng's person, and Shi Miyuan will not have the opportunity to rebel.

"Did Ye Qing acquiesce in this?" Zhao Ruyu looked up at Liuzheng and asked.

"According to the lower officials, eighty or ninety percent of them were Ye Qing's acquiescence, or even Ye Qing's instigation, so these three people could be transferred to Huainan East Road by the officials unimpeded." Liuzheng swore and said: "Otherwise, how could the officials interfere in this matter." Don't forget, Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing were already together before they ascended the throne in the Holy Lord, so if Ye Qing asked Shi Miyuan at this time, Shi Miyuan had no reason to refuse. ”

"In this way, the matter of Yangzhou is completely a bureau set up for me by Ye Qing and King Qing? This is to get rid of Liu Dexiu by my hand, and then it also provokes trust between me and Han Cheng, and I ...... But before he realized it, he easily fell for Ye Qing and King Qing, and thought that he had seized a great opportunity to suppress Han Cheng? In the end, Zhao Ruyu was already gritting his teeth, eager to swallow Ye Qing and Qing Wangsheng alive.

"Xia Guan suspects, I'm afraid that King Qing is also hidden from it and doesn't know it, if not, ......." Liuzheng's bright eyes looked at Zhao Ruyu, who was angry and gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "If King Qing frames the right minister, then he will not take a concubine with great fanfare, but act in a low-key manner." Such fanfare can only show that King Qing still doesn't know what is at stake in this matter, so it's like this. ”

"In this way, then all this was arranged by Ye Qing, he used King Qing to rescue the woman who was molested by Liu Dexiu's subordinates on the street, that is, he took the opportunity to get rid of Liu Dexiu, framed me, and provoked the relationship between me and Han Cheng, killing three birds with one stone, this is, such a ruthless Ye Qing ......." Zhao Ru's foolish teeth were about to be crushed, as if they were about to be crushed.

And Zhao Ruyu, who looked at Zhao Ruyu, whose face was becoming more and more angry and hideous, said calmly: "You Xiang must not have forgotten that in Lin'an Yongjin Building, there have been a few things related to Ye Qing, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ruyu quickly raised his head and asked.

"Zhao Shixiong's daughter Zhao Qing died in Yongjin Tower, at that time, Ye Qing happened to be in Yongjin Tower, and he came to avenge his father and assassinate Ye Qing. Tang Hexi, the grandson of Tang Sihui, also had a relationship with Ye Qing in Yongjin Building, and even Li Lifang, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all of this is related to a woman...... Liuzheng's voice gradually became gloomy.

"Gentle." Zhao Ruyu asked.

"Yes, not long after the oblique wind drizzle building disappeared in Lin'an, Wen Wan disappeared with it, and then appeared in the oblique wind drizzle building in Yangzhou." Liuzheng said coldly.

"Wen Wan is just a dusty woman, even if she has an affair with Ye Qing, this doesn't mean anything, let alone shake Ye Qing, after all, several ladies in Ye Qing's mansion are not people with small bellies and chicken intestines, and they want to use this to find Ye Qing's weaknesses ......." Zhao Ruyu shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"Definitely." Liuzheng said calmly: "The meaning of the lower official is ......." ”

"What is it?" Zhao Ruyu felt like he was missing something, but he couldn't sort out a clue when he was in a hurry.

"Xia Guan is just guessing, could the concubine of Qing Wangna be deliberately arranged by Ye Qing?" Liuzheng's eyes were cold, and he said endlessly.

"Impossible!" Zhao Ruyu categorically denied it: "This is impossible, if this is the case, isn't Ye Qing enough to cover the sky with one hand, and even the imperial court ......." ”

"Why can't it be? Since even the Ministry of Officials can't install officials on Huainan East Road and Beidi Fifth Road, why is it difficult for Ye Qing to cultivate a few prostitutes? Liu Dexiu has been in Yangzhou for many years, and I am afraid that he has already been a thorn in Ye Qing's eyes, but in the past few years, he has not had a good opportunity to kick Liu Dexiu away, and now once he has the opportunity, how can he let go of using King Qing, a newcomer to the clan? Liuzheng still said calmly.

Zhao Ruyu was sitting in the carriage and was in a state of confusion, what Liuzheng said had a certain amount of truth, but he still didn't believe that Ye Qing could be so meticulous that he had no last resort, and he used everything that could be used, and it was simply that the time and place were all occupied by him, and they were all used by him.

"I need to sort out this matter, by the way, there are still ...... in Yangzhou." Zhao Ruyu asked with a silent sigh.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liuzheng began to shake his head and said heavily: "There is only one chance for King Qing to take a concubine, and now it is too difficult for the people of the military department to get close to the Yangzhou officialdom, especially after Liu Dexiu's death, the officialdom of Huainan East Road is as tight as an iron bucket." It's these news, and the lower officials lost nearly a hundred or so to get it, and ...... Xia Guan was very worried that Yangzhou had already noticed it. ”

"Inform King Qing and tell him that he was used by Ye Qing, so let them mess up first from within Yangzhou, not to mention that now that Ye Qing has gone to Liao, how can he ......." Zhao Ruyu frowned and said.

Liuzheng still shook his head, and then said heavily: "It's too difficult, because Liu Dexiu's corruption is true, so King Qing didn't do anything wrong, and he wouldn't believe that he was used by Ye Qing." And for the letter of rehabilitation, King Qing, as a clan, also handed a chapter to the saint. ”

The implication of Liuzheng is that King Qing, you Zhao Ruyu, don't think about fighting, let alone relying on King Qing to suppress Ye Qing, the only thing that can be done at the moment is to think about how to calm down the matter of King Xin's rehabilitation, as for revenge against Ye Qing...... Liuzheng didn't dare to think about it, because although he didn't see Ye Qing on his trip to Yangzhou, he had already deeply realized that even if Ye Qing was not in Yangzhou, Yangzhou was full of Ye Qing's shadow.

Thanks to his high vigilance and fast running, otherwise, it is very likely that he, the secretary of the military department, will not be able to return to Lin'an from Yangzhou.
