Ye Qing, who walked out of Yujin Garden and separated from Zhong Qing, was unsurprisingly led by the eunuch who was born in the face and led to the Vertical Arch Palace.

And the conversation with Zhao Dian did not surprise Ye Qing's expectations, it was nothing more than an inquiry about the current Beidi Fourth Road and Jingzhaofu Road, and how sure Ye Qing was that he would be able to hold it, and the land of the Five Roads that had just been recovered would not be recaptured by the Jin people in a short period of time.

As for Ye Qing's proposal to join forces with the Jin, Xia, and Tatars to fight against Khorezm, Zhao Dian was not interested at all, and even felt troublesome if he asked more.

Now that he has just succeeded to the throne, the next thing is to take a good look at his country and feel the majesty of this Son of Heaven, so what he cares about is that after he ascends the throne, the Jin people don't come over at will to make trouble, as for the rest, he doesn't care very much, and he doesn't care very much.

After getting Ye Qing's solemn promise and assurance, Zhao Dan's original majestic demeanor completely relaxed.

For Ye Qing, he still has some confidence, after all, it was Ye Qing who fought down the Beidi Fourth Road at the beginning, so even if it is not good in the future, I am afraid that it will be just the loss of the Beidi Fourth Road again, even if it is all ceded by Huainan East Road, it doesn't matter, but his only bottom line is that he must not let the Jin people cross the Yangtze River and threaten the real Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, for Zhenjiang, which is across the river from Yangzhou, Zhao Dian still attaches great importance to it, and Zhao Dian neither agrees nor opposes the candidates for several pacification envoys proposed by Ye Qing one after another, and the ambiguous attitude also makes Ye Qing know in his heart that he is afraid that it is Zhenjiang's pacification envoy, and Han Cheng will make the decision at that time.

As for the next thing about King Qing, obviously Zhao Dian didn't take it to heart, not to mention that he still went to Huainan East Road to serve as the pastor and envoy of Yangzhou, so in his opinion, it would not have any impact or threat to him.

So in the end, he only instructed Ye Qing to take care of King Qing on Huainan East Road.

As for what kind of care method this care is, then it is up to Ye Qing to figure out and experience the Sacred Heart by himself, as for whether the final result will be satisfactory to Zhao Dan, it depends on the next development of the situation, whether it is still within his acceptability.

"If Ye Qing is fine, he might as well leave Lin'an before the first day, as a pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, he has not been in his post of dispatch, and there will be discussions above the court, although I really want you to stay in Lin'an, but the opinions of other courtiers, I also have to take into account some of them." Zhao Dian got up from the dragon chair, walked up to Ye Qing and said.

Ye Qing got up and obeyed the order, in his opinion, Zhao Dan's will was more like the order that Li Fengniang had just given to Zhao Dan, after all, something unpleasant had just happened between him and Li Fengniang, obviously Li Fengniang didn't want to see him in a short time, or was she even more afraid that at this time, staying in Lin'an would be unfavorable to her because of today's unpleasantness.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will leave for Yangzhou as soon as possible." Ye Qing walked to the door of the Vertical Arch Hall and turned back again and said to Zhao Dian behind him.

Zhao Dan wanted to speak at Ye Qing and stopped, and finally sighed and nodded, signaling that Ye Qing could leave.

In Zhao Dan's heart, he still remembered Ye Qing's original friendship, after all, from the very beginning, it was Ye Qing who gave him advice, let him start with the affairs of the court from the general as a supervisor, and even suggested that Qian Xiangzu go to the ministry to serve as a waiter, etc., whether it was financially or famously, they gave him a certain amount of support.

Although at the last moment, Ye Qing failed to support his succession as firmly as Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan, although Ye Qing had been campaigning for the so-called alliance of Jin, Xia, and Tatars against the Tatars during this time, and did not put the matter of supporting his succession in the first place, but he was still more grateful to Ye Qing than complained.

So if it weren't for the assassination of the queen in Yujin Garden today, and Li Fengniang's instigation that he should immediately order Ye Qing to leave Lin'an and go to Huainan East Road, then Zhao Dan would still turn a blind eye and let Ye Qing stay in Lin'an instead of going to Huainan East Road.

It is no longer possible to walk out of the Hening Gate as before, and now Ye Qing can only cross the Liubu Bridge like other courtiers, and then go out along the main gate of Li, and then turn to the Donghua Gate to the top of the royal street.

A carriage had obviously been waiting for a long time at Donghua Gate, so after Ye Qing glanced at the carriage, he did not hesitate to get into the carriage, and the person sitting in the carriage was Qian Xiangzu, the new secretary of the Criminal Department.

Without waiting for Qian Xiangzu to ask, Ye Qing took the initiative to speak: "It's nothing, it is the intention of the saint to enter the palace today, and send me back to Huainan East Road on a certain day." ”

"How can it be so fast? Shouldn't it be over the first day? Qian Xiangzu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Maybe it's what Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan mean." Ye Qing smiled and continued: "But now that I have nothing to do with staying in Lin'an, it is time to go back to Huainan East Road to be dispatched." Above the court, it will be calm for a while...... for a while. ”

"But in a few days, ......." Qian Xiangzu said worriedly, if he had to leave Lin'an immediately because of the will of the saint, in this way, it was very likely to offend the emperor.

After all, the Emperor Taishang, who had just taken the throne, was now planning to bury Zhao Gou's coffin after being parked for two years, and if Ye Qing left at this time, he would definitely not be able to catch up, and once the Emperor Zhao Yan asked, he was afraid that it would cause displeasure.

"So I guess that there should also be Zhao and Han in this." Ye Qing smiled and said, "After all, on the night of the palace banquet, the Emperor Taishang first supported me as a privy envoy and formed an alliance against the Khorezm people before taking the throne, so ah, it cannot be ruled out that they began to make some small moves to continue to drive a wedge between me and the Holy Lord." By the way, I am looking for you because of Wang Huai's affairs, Wang Huai is the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty after all, and the saint is merciful, and obviously he will not think of putting him to death, so after handing it over to you, it can be regarded as you giving Wang Huai a favor. After all, just like Wang Huai has been in the phase for many years, Liang Kejia has also been in the Criminal Department for many years, if he gets in the way, your dispatch in the Criminal Department will also fall into a difficult situation. But as long as Wang Huai is in your criminal department, in this way, everything can look better on each other's faces. ”

Qian Xiangzu nodded silently, from the very beginning, Ye Qing and Xiao Zhen helped him regardless of returns, until now, even when Ye Qing was in the most difficult time in the court, he did not pull him over to relieve the pressure from Zhao and Han.

"The great grace is not grateful, and the ancestor remembers it in his heart. If something happens to him, the Elephant Ancestor will go all out. Qian Xiangzu said solemnly in the carriage.

"Stay away from Shi Miyuan, get close to Meng Zongzheng and Bi Zaiyu." Ye Qing smiled and nodded, and continued: "Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have always been in the same vein, but it was only because King Xin intervened back then that Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have been confronted for many years, and now it is time to improve, they are also their own people, rest assured." ”

Listening to Ye Qing's words, although Qian Xiangzu was quite calm on the surface, his heart was surging like the tide of the Qiantang River...... has also unknowingly had a party force that cannot be underestimated.

Lin'an's Imperial City Division and Dali Temple, if you add the criminal department in his charge, as well as the party forces on Huainan East Road, Beidi Fourth Road, and Jingzhaofu Road, Ye Qing is now ...... It seems that he has become the only courtier who can compete with Han Cheng's father and son.

As if from Qian Xiangzu's calm surface, he could see the shock in Qian Xiangzu's heart, Ye Qing lifted the curtain and glanced outside, and continued: "Didn't you think of it? In fact, Dali Temple is still more or less stained with Yu Yunwen's light, if I am alone, Meng Zongzheng and Bi will meet again, how can they show favor to me? ”

Ye Qing deliberately concealed the fact that Meng Zongzheng and Bi Zaiyu were brought over by Lao Liu Tou and other old backing soldiers, but instead put this matter on Yu Yunwen, who also served as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, so that in Qian Xiangzu's view, it seemed much more natural.

"Xia Guan just doesn't understand, since Lord Ye is ...... now Why not stay in Lin'an? After all, staying in Lin'an must be more helpful to Lord Ye, right? Qian Xiangzu pondered and said: "According to the lower officials, Lord Ye is not a pedantic person, since he was able to disobey the fourteen holy decrees in the first place, why is he ...... today." ”

"At this moment, the court infighting, in the end, the cheapest can only be the golden people, for their own selfishness, take the country, the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, now that Lin'an has a new atmosphere, it is natural to be calm for a while, and I don't need to take risks because of my own affairs. It has been less than a year since the recovery of the Beidi Fourth Road, and it is still in the stage of panic, not to mention that Lin'an City has always looked down on the reformed people, and the advantages of my return to Huainan East Road outweigh the disadvantages after all, with you in the court, what else do I have to worry about? ”

At the end, Ye Qing easily patted Qian Xiangzu's shoulder, which was a little stiff, and looking at Qian Xiangzu's somewhat stiff smile, Ye Qing immediately signaled the carriage to drive directly into Dali Temple.

Qian Xiangzu's mood at this time was a little hesitant and a little entangled, Zu Xun had never allowed them to participate in the affairs of the court, but because of the relationship between the prince and Xiao Zhen and Ye Qing at the beginning, now he had to enter the court.

But even so, he never thought that one day he would form a gang above the court, but with Ye Qing's words just now, he finally realized that once he entered the court, the center of power, and wanted to remain neutral like Xiao Zhen did at the beginning, it turned out to be more difficult than being promoted and getting the favor of the royal family.

Moreover, although he was grateful to Ye Qing and Xiao Zhen, he really didn't think that he would choose a political position one day, but now, it seems that he can't choose not to choose, but people have already arranged everything for him, and he has not even been left with a chance to refuse.

Meng Zongzheng and Bi Zaiyu in Dali Temple both came out, watching Ye Qing get out of the carriage with a smile on their faces, and then when they saw that it was Qian Xiangzu who walked off the carriage with Ye Qing, the smiles on their faces were also momentary, and they were stunned before they began to salute each other.

Ye Qing likes to discuss things at the Storm Pavilion, so this time it is not an exception, as Meng Zongzheng sent someone to bring Wang Huai over, Qian Xiangzu couldn't help but start looking around the Storm Pavilion, after all, the Storm Pavilion of Dali Temple, but there have been too many secret things, and the recent incident is still related to Ye Qing in front of him.
