1195 The rain kept falling
Zhao Kuo obviously didn't expect that Ye Qing had already known the purpose of bringing him to the palace today, and looked at Ye Qing who was calm and unhurried with an extremely shocked expression, and Zhao Kuo's heart began to sink involuntarily.
"You already knew?" Zhao Kuo involuntarily opened his mouth and asked, and then slowly stood up.
Han Ying's expression was solemn, and her heart was also extremely heavy, Ye Qingyun's light and light performance was enough to show that all of Zhao Kuo's careful design today had actually been known to Ye Qing for a long time, and if you think of what Ye Qing said in front of Zhao Kuo just now, Han Ying at this time instantly felt a chill and a numb scalp!
The eight words Tang Zong Song Zu and slightly inferior coquettish kept echoing in Han Ying's ears, and even Taizu Ruo didn't pay attention to it, and even expected that there would be a king who was roughly comparable to Liu Che and Li Shimin, and just vetoed Zhao Kuo's ambition and ability comparable to Liu Che and Li Shimin, so who else in the entire Great Song Dynasty court except for him Ye Qing has such ambitions? Who else has the opportunity to be comparable to Liu Che and Li Shimin!
Compared with Han Ying's solemn expression, Xie Daoqing looked extremely nervous and confused at this time, she didn't know at all why today, which was originally a leisure and leisure for the monarch and ministers, suddenly evolved into the tense scene in front of her.
Ye Qing looked at the shocked Zhao Kuo, and slowly walked closer to Zhao Kuo, but before he could get closer, Han Ying took the lead in front of Zhao Kuo with one arrow step, stretched out her arms to protect Zhao Kuo behind her, her face was a little pale, and even her tone of voice trembled with a hint of nervousness.
"Swallow...... Yanwang ...... You...... What do you want to do? Han Ying stammered, "You ...... Do you know? You're treasoning, are you...... It's a big rebellion. ”
She never thought that facing a person could give her such a huge sense of oppression, as if facing an overwhelming sea of monstrous waves, the whole person was in the corridor pavilion, and she was involuntarily squeezed by the momentum on Ye Qing's body, and unconsciously took Zhao Kuolian behind her to retreat a few steps.
Ye Qing slowly stopped in front of Han Ying, who was far away from Han Ying, who was outstretched, still with a smile on his face, and then his eyes skimmed over Han Ying's pale cheeks full of nervousness, looked at Wei Jing who was kneeling in the rain, and said slowly: "Let Master Zhao come in." ”
Wei Jing raised his head, his eyes were full of murderous aura but were blurred by the rain, but looking at Zhao Kuo, who was being protected by Han Ying, he turned his head and nodded at him, and immediately took the order to run out.
As Wei Jing left, Ye Qing looked up to the sky and took a long breath, and then said slowly: "Mencius said: Those who love others will always love them, those who respect others will always respect them, those who kill people will always kill them, and those who seek others will always seek them. The Holy One knows that when you are calculating others, others are also calculating you. How? Do you really want to hide behind a little girl now, and don't even dare to face me? ”
"Why don't I dare?" Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and slowly pushed away Han Ying in front of him, took a deep breath and said.
Ignoring Han Ying's worried and nervous look, Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, and had to say that before Wei Jing came, Ye Qing's words when he asked him if he were as ambitious as Liu Che and Li Shimin still aroused his Zhao Kuo's strong heart.
Facing Zhao Kuo pushing Han Ying away and standing face to face with him, Ye Qing's deep eyes actually flashed a trace of approval, and although this hint of praise flashed, it was still captured by Zhao Kuo and Han Ying, and even Han Ying was in a trance, thinking that his sight had an illusion.
"Yes, there is still a responsibility on my shoulders, and it is not too disappointing to the ministers, so it will not be in vain for all this that happened today." Ye Qing simply praised Zhao Kuodao directly.
"What do you mean? When did you find out? Zhao Kuo, who was still a little nervous, gradually relaxed at this moment because of Ye Qing's calmness, but he wanted to know when Ye Qing knew that he wanted to unite with Zhao Shikui to do something to him.
"It doesn't matter when I know, the important thing is that everything that happened today can make you realize that the deceit above the court is not as simple as you think. If a king cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and cannot distinguish who is loyal and who is traitorous, this is not only the sorrow of him alone, but also the sorrow of the whole world. Behind Ye Qing's hands, noisy footsteps began to be heard not far away, Ye Qing sighed and continued: "When you are calculating others, it doesn't mean that others will not calculate you. You trust Zhao Shikui, but is Zhao Shikui worthy of your trust? ”
"Who said I trusted him? Can't I use him against you, and make him my scapegoat? Zhao Kuo sneered, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What else?" Ye Qing asked lightly.
"Isn't that enough? As long as I get rid of you, a big confidant, and then use Zhao Shikui to give an explanation to the people of the world, won't I still be able to calm the world? Zhao Kuo's attitude became a little tougher at first: "Yes, your Yan King is very important to the stability of the Northland, but can't I imagine that once you are removed, the Northland will be in turmoil because of this?" Qian Xiangzu, Zhao Shichun, Li Lifang, and Xie Shenfu had already gone to the north to appease the people and the army with my secret decree early this morning. In order to deal with you, King Yan, I did not hesitate to mobilize the people, and almost the entire court was mobilized, just to deal with you King Yan alone, shouldn't you feel gratified? ”
"Shi Miyuan, what are you going to do with it? Since you can think of using the entire court to deal with me, then after the fact, the court will not have me to contain Shi Miyuan, wouldn't it still be a hidden danger of restlessness for you? Ye Qing actually agreed with Zhao Kuo's words, nodded and continued to ask.
"Are you taking the school exam?" The disdain at the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth was gradually expanding, and now he no longer felt nervous and scared in the face of Ye Qing, and even liked this-for-tat tension: "Although Shi Miyuan is a big trouble in the court, compared to you Yan Wang, I must also be able to distinguish which is more important between the two." As long as I get rid of you King Yan, my prestige above the court will inevitably rise, and if I want to deal with Shi Miyuan, as long as I have the officials in my hands, Shi Miyuan will not become a toothless tiger, and he is not at my mercy? ”
"Will Shi Miyuan give you this opportunity?" Ye Qing said with a smile, and outside the corridor pavilion at this time, a large number of soldiers from the front of the palace and the guard division, under the leadership of Zuo Yu and Zuo Jiao, surrounded Zhao Shikui and approached quickly.
"Chen Zhao Shikui was ordered to arrest the traitor Ye Qing, please give an order." Zhao Shikui threw away the umbrella in his hand, knelt in the rain and said.
Zhao Kuo looked at the respectful Zhao Shikui in the rain, and looked at Ye Qing with a hint of smugness on the corner of his mouth: "It is said that Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, was killed in Dali Temple because of the instruction of King Yan. So now, what choice will King Yan make? ”
As Zhao Kuo's words were finished, Wei Jing, who was drenched, walked quickly into the pavilion with a wooden plate, and a pot of wine and a dagger were placed in the wooden plate.
Outside the pavilion, Zhao Shikui was still kneeling in the rain, and without Zhao Kuo's order, he obviously didn't dare to get up at will.
The Zuo brothers, who were not far behind Zhao Shikui, were just standing quietly in the heavy rain at this time because of the armor, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the armor and made a crisp sound.
The surroundings are now surrounded by soldiers from the front division of the palace and the guard division, and although the bow and crossbow on the waist have not been picked up, they can still feel it at this moment, and the strong killing intent has filled the entire courtyard.
Han Ying looked at Ye Qing who was still smiling with ease and smile a little nervously, Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of coldness at this time, and he was also staring at Ye Qing tightly, Xie Daoqing stood aside, his lips didn't know how many times he moved, but at this moment, looking at the unfavorable situation at the moment, he didn't know what to do under his heart.
"The credit of King Yan over the years...... I will never forget, but I can...... I have to think about the country of the Great Song Dynasty. So King Yan, please choose. Zhao Kuo frowned slightly, so far, he really couldn't see why Ye Qing was still able to be so calm.
Now the entire Xinwang Mansion is already a net of heaven and earth, even if there are 8,000 kinds of Hua family soldiers outside Lin'an City, but what can they do now? No, still can't quench the thirst of the near with water?
"So, it's all for me?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at Wei Jing on the side, and then calmly reached out and picked up the bright dagger that Wei Jing was holding on to the wooden plate.
"Don't." Xie Daoqing suddenly exclaimed, ran to Ye Qing in three steps and two steps, grabbed Ye Qing's hand holding the dagger with a pale face, turned back to Zhao Kuo and said hurriedly: "Dare to ask the Holy Lord, what crime did King Yan commit?" Dare to ask the saints, but you still remember those voices that were circulated in Lin'an, if there was no Northern Expedition of King Yan, how could the Great Song Dynasty be today! Now that the saint wants to take King Yan to establish his authority, isn't he afraid that the people of the world and the officials of the court will feel chilled by this? ”
Xie Daoqing looked at Zhao Kuo's face full of pleading, although she was questioning Zhao Kuo, but the feeling given to Zhao Kuo was that he hoped that Zhao Kuo would be able to let go of Ye Qing for the sake of the friendship between them in the past two years.
"I made it very clear just now." Zhao Kuo turned his head slightly, unwilling to face Xie Daoqing's pleading gaze, and Xie Daoqing's gaze also looked at Han Ying for help after Zhao Kuo avoided it.
"Have you forgotten how Han Ying entered the palace ......?" Xie Daoqing looked at Zhao Kuo, who turned his face sideways, and continued.
But at this moment, I felt the back of my hand being carried by one
The warm hand patted lightly a few times, and when he turned around, he saw that Ye Qing's eyes were full of gratitude and tenderness, and he looked at her and said lightly: "Do you think I look like a person who has committed suicide?" ”
Just now, when Xie Daoqing picked up the dagger, he suddenly rushed forward to stop Ye Qing's actions, which still made Ye Qing feel a burst of warmth unconsciously, and even a little moved in his heart, at this time, Xie Daoqing actually dared to stand up and defend himself and plead for himself in front of Zhao Kuo.
"The Holy One has been extraordinarily gracious and has given you Ye Qing to commit suicide and leave a whole corpse. Ye Qing, what are you waiting for! Zhao Shikui, who was kneeling in the rain with a wet body, was more anxious than anyone else at this time.
As long as Ye Qing commits suicide, then all this will be under control, and more importantly, he is not afraid that the flower planters outside the city will rush to rescue Ye Qing when they hear the news.
"Do you still have to resist the decree, or do you still think someone will save you?" Zhao Shikui looked at Zhao Kuo, who was calm, and his heart was even more anxious, and he hurriedly hinted loudly: "Ye Qing, you might as well tell you that the eight thousand flower army you led outside the city has surrendered now, and they will never come to save you." ”
As if waking up a person in a dream, the second half of Zhao Shikui's words suddenly shocked Zhao Kuo's heart, and he immediately realized that if he didn't solve Ye Qing quickly, once the reinforcements arrived, I am afraid it would be difficult to end!
"King Yan, I ......." Zhao Kuo looked back at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice.
But Ye Qing lowered his head and ignored it, as if he hadn't heard Zhao Kuo's words, he patted Xie Daoqing's hand gently, and then said softly: "Don't worry, I won't kill myself, now it's just the beginning of the show." ”
Looking at Ye Qing's gentle and resolute eyes, Xie Daoqing hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly let go of Ye Qing's arm holding the dagger after Ye Qing nodded vigorously at her, but a pair of eyes were staring closely at the dagger in Ye Qing's hand, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as Ye Qing turned the tip of the knife inward, he would immediately pounce on it and snatch it!
"Does the Holy One think that everything in front of him is the truth? Do you think that as long as I, Ye Qing, commit suicide in front of you, then everything will be considered completely over? Ye Qing played with the dagger in his hand, sighed slightly, and then turned to look at Zhao Shikui, who was still kneeling in the rain, and said: "Zhao Shikui, this king will give you a chance to atone for your sins, if you remove these soldiers now, I can guarantee that you will be safe in the future." But if you insist on aiding and abetting the abuse and being used by others today, then even the Holy One may not be able to save you at that time! ”
"Presumptuous! You, Ye Qing, are now a traitor to my Great Song Dynasty, and your crimes have been completely known to ...... Holy Lord. Zhao Shikui wiped the rain from his face and retorted.
Ye Qing didn't wait for Zhao Shikui to finish speaking, then shifted his gaze to the Zuo brothers, and continued to say lightly: "You two brothers have really thought about it, do you have to follow Zhao Shikui to continue?" ”
"Presumptuous, Ye Qing, you are slandering! The leader of the Zuo clan is the leader of the temple and the head of the guard department trusted by the saint, and it is because of the will of the saint to arrest you, a traitor, and the prince of this country is just bringing them here to ....... Zhao Shikui knelt in the rain, and his expression instantly became a little unnatural.
Obviously, in Zhao Shikui's opinion, Ye Qing was still fighting the trapped beasts at this moment, and wanted to use the relationship between the Zuo brothers and himself to discord and provoke the saint's trust in him.
However, when Ye Qing pointed out the relationship between him and the Zuo brothers, Zhao Kuo's eyes immediately swept to the Zuo brothers, and Zhao Shikui, who was kneeling in the rain, instantly became a little panicked because of Zhao Kuo's eyes with a hint of fierceness.
Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Shikui, who flashed a trace of panic between his expressions, and the Zuo brothers not far away, and instantly understood why the queen mother, Li Fengniang, would replace the guards and soldiers in the Qinzheng Palace, Cining Hall and other places where their mother and son often go in and out in the past few days with people from the Imperial City Division, it turned out that all this was related to the Zuo brothers!
"Rong Guogong, Zuo Yu, Zuo Jiao, what King Yan said is true!" Zhao Kuo stood in the corridor pavilion and took a step forward, his tone becoming a little harsh.
And just as Zhao Kuo questioned Zhao Shikui and the three of them, among the soldiers in the middle of the courtyard with helmets and armor, Xia Zhen's expression began to become more and more gloomy, and one hand began to be in the crowd, slowly touching the bow and crossbow on his waist.
(PS: Let's be steady, I still want to write the next episode, because there are other messages I want to convey in this episode, and this chapter is actually a little anxious.) Thank you for your forgiveness. If you have friends who are very anxious to watch this plot, I suggest that you might as well keep it for a few days and then read it, this book is like this, there are too many layouts, the progress is too slow, and it is relatively positive, so there are fewer cool points. Thank you! )
