Zhao Kuo, who walked out of the Xinwang Mansion, looked at the clear sky after the rain, and had an unreal feeling in his heart, as if he had been in a dream all along.

What was originally a scene of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and violent wind and rain, when he walked out of the attic, it suddenly cleared up and became quiet, as if he had stepped into a new world of flowers and birds and humid air from the attic.

The blue sky is like a wash, you can't see even a little white cloud, the birds flying on the branches are chirping non-stop, the rain under your feet seems to have a new idea at this time, the bright sun shines on the earth, and the crystal clear raindrops on the branches and flowers look so quiet and peaceful at this moment.

The fragrant taste in the soil has a refreshing feeling at this moment, but Zhao Kuo's heart is still a little dazed and heavy, even if the clouds and the clear sky have already appeared above his head, but the complex emotions in his heart still make Zhao Kuo a little confused at this time.

The quiet and peaceful scene after the rain made Zhao Kuo's heart feel a lot of melancholy again, and at this time, in front of Zhao Kuo's eyes, on both sides of the streets and alleys at the back door of King Xin's Mansion, I don't know when it was already full of court officials, and officials such as Li Lifang, King Wu Zhao Shichun, Qian Xiangzu, and Bi Zaiyu were also in the ranks, and at this time they were all looking at Zhao Kuo who walked out of the back door of King Xin's Mansion.

Looking at the rows of court officials in front of them, all of them were wet by the wind and rain just now, and even some of them were still hanging crystal raindrops on the tips of their hair, although many officials looked a little embarrassed, but at this time they were all solemn.

This scene made Zhao Kuo, who was originally melancholy, feel more complicated when facing these officials, and even had a feeling that he didn't know how to face the ministers.

His eyes swept over the officials standing on both sides of the street, and finally Zhao Kuo chose to go straight to the carriage and return to the palace.

And at the moment of stepping into the carriage, Zhao Kuo turned his head silently, glanced at Li Fengniang, who had fallen into another carriage, and then looked at Jia She, who was following him, sighed slightly, looked at the back door of the Xinwang Mansion a little distracted, and said after a while: "Find Wei Jing's body...... Buried it. ”

Jia Shi received the order behind him, and then immediately signaled the soldiers of the Flower Planter behind him to rush into the palace of King Xin, looking for Wei Jing's body.

From beginning to end, Zhao Kuo never mentioned Zhao Shikui, the Rongguo Duke of the Clan who was executed by him, and after looking up at the clear blue sky again, he got into the carriage without looking back, and even Han Ying and Xie Daoqing were silently rejected by him outside the carriage, and had to take another carriage to follow Zhao Kuo back to the palace.

The carriage slowly drove away from the back door of the Xinwang Mansion under the eyes of the ministers, Zhao Kuo in the carriage was full of worries and melancholy, with the carriage shaking rhythmically with a somewhat sluggish upper body, from time to time there was a sound of water when the wheels ran over the stagnant water, and from time to time the picture of the ministers standing in the streets and alleys just now appeared in his mind, as well as the scene of everything that happened in the Xinwang Mansion today, how much can make the silent Zhao Kuo realize that what he experienced today is not actually a big dream!

The carriage slowly drove into the palace from the main gate of Li, Zhao Kuo's carriage began to drive silently towards the Qinzheng Hall after entering the palace, and Li Fengniang's carriage also drove in the direction of the Cining Hall almost without pause.

As if there was a very tacit understanding, at this time, Li Fengniang chose not to disturb Zhao Kuo, but let Zhao Kuo digest all the things that happened today.

When the carriage at the Cining Hall slowly stopped, Li Fengniang, who got out of the car, looked at Han Ying, who had been returning to the Qinzheng Hall with Zhao Kuo not far away, and ran over with a somewhat anxious expression, the corners of her mouth unconsciously flashed a wry smile, and when Han Ying arrived, she asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Han Ying, who was a little out of breath all the way, still saluted Li Fengniang respectfully, and then sorted out her words and said: "After returning to the Qinzheng Palace, the Holy Lord immediately gave Jia Shean an order that no one should approach the Qinzheng Palace, and even the slaves and maids were driven out by him. The slave and maid were a little worried...... So I hope the Queen Mother ....... ”

Li Fengniang frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Just now, those ministers who stood in the streets and alleys of the back door of King Xin's Mansion can enter the palace with them. ”

"There are eunuchs who have returned, and the ministers have almost arrived in the palace with you and the saint, and now they have all asked to see the saint in the Daqing Hall ......." Han Ying replied.

"Tell them...... The Holy One is ill due to the rain today, and the pilgrimage meeting has also been canceled in the past few days, and all matters will be discussed after the Holy Dragon recovers. As for what happened today...... Then he told them the truth, and he could consult with the king of Yan about everything. When Li Fengniang said at the end, even she wasn't sure how the next situation would go.

is the so-called knowing son Mo Ruomu, of course Li Fengniang can understand and understand Zhao Kuo's mood at this time, so Zhao Kuo locked himself in the Qinzheng Hall alone, and no one was allowed to approach, Li Fengniang was naturally very clear, obviously Zhao Kuo was still difficult to digest all the things that happened today for a while.

But since Zhao Kuo chose to be locked up in the Qinzheng Hall alone, in Li Fengniang's opinion, it may be ...... This is also a sign that Zhao Kuo is about to really grow up.

Han Ying naturally didn't know what happened inside after the Empress Dowager drove them out of the attic, especially since Ye Qing also left the attic later, what did the Empress Dowager and the Holy Lord say, but in the storm, lightning and thunder at that time, she faintly heard the roar of Zhao Kuo.

And just as Han Ying was about to leave, Li Fengniang suddenly thought of something, stopped Han Ying again and asked, "By the way, does the Holy Lord say how to deal with King Shu's father and son?" ”

Han Ying was stunned for a moment, and then replied honestly: "Before entering the Qinzheng Palace, the Holy Lord ordered Jia Shi to settle in the palace not far from the Qinzheng Palace after King Shu's father and son entered the palace...... The slave doesn't know. ”

Han Ying is actually very afraid of Li Fengniang, especially when Li Fengniang is wearing a palace dress, so that every time Han Ying sees Li Fengniang, it is like a mouse picking up a cat, and she will always subconsciously shrink her body.

Li Fengniang obviously didn't know Zhao Kuo's intentions for doing this, but she still nodded and said, "Then follow the holy one."

Do your will...... If there is any situation on the other side of the saint, immediately pay attention to the main palace. ”

Han Ying hurriedly nodded in front of Li Fengniang, and then saluted respectfully again before turning around and leaving.

Looking at Han Ying's departing back with Zhu Ye'er, Li Fengniang shook her head unconsciously, and said with emotion: "No wonder Kuo'er values this Han Ying so much, almost all of her thoughts are on Kuo'er......." ”

"Today, before you arrived at the attic, I heard that Han Ying had blocked the front of King Yan for the Holy Lord three times ......." Zhu Ye'er spoke for Han Ying next to her.

And as soon as Ye Qing was mentioned, Li Fengniang immediately became angry, and instantly became gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph! Even if the palace had arrived in time to stop it, didn't the minister slap Kuo'er in the face? Look at the swollen cheeks, they haven't gone down until now! And if I arrive a little later today, I don't know how much trouble Kuo'er will have to suffer! With the character of that minister, wouldn't he have to ...... even Kuo'er today? ”

"The slave believes that King Yan knows it in his heart, and today's slap is ...... But the slave maid guessed that it was also because King Yan was ...... in anger. Zhu Ye'er said as she walked towards Cining Hall with Li Fengniang.

"No matter who is right and who is wrong between him and Kuo'er today, but treat Kuo'er like this...... Sooner or later, this palace will have to clean up this courtier! At this time, as long as Li Fengniang thought of Ye Qing's slap on Zhao Kuo's face, she felt sorry for Zhao Kuo, and she hated Ye Qing so much, and she completely lost the dilemma of being in the attic when her palms and backs were meat.

"The slave maid thinks that the most important thing at the moment is whether the saint will ...... after knowing the truth." Zhu Ye'er said with some concern.

Li Fengniang smiled a little disappreciatively, and said: "Although Kuo'er was brought up by you, when it comes to understanding Kuo'er, you are still not as good as this palace." ”

Li Fengniang walked into the side hall, began to take off her rain-soaked clothes by herself, and continued: "Now Kuo'er just has some knots in her heart, otherwise, with the importance of Shi Miyuan in Kuo'er's heart, how could she not even see her face, and hand it over to Ye Qing to be detained in Dali Temple?" In fact....... ”

Li Fengniang turned around, at this time, there was only a thin layer of clothes left on her body, covering the fair-skinned delicate body that was still plump and enchanting, and as the thin clothes that were also soaked in rain slid down the delicate body, Li Fengniang, who was already naked, sighed slightly and continued: "In fact, Kuo'er has made a choice in her heart, but she can't accept this fact for a while. Now the palace is most worried about how to face the emperor of Deoksugung Palace...... Perhaps, I will still hate me as the queen mother in my heart. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Fengniang slowly walked into the steaming bath barrel under the service of Zhu Ye'er, Li Fengniang, who was surrounded by hot water, sighed with satisfaction in the bath bucket, closed her phoenix eyes and said slowly: "Send someone to inform Ye Qing in a while, these days will be more peaceful, since Shi Miyuan has been detained in Dali Temple, then Kuo'er has his own plans, so that Ye Qing must not be anxious, in order to get rid of the big trouble in his heart, so that Kuo'er will be dissatisfied with him again." ”

Zhu Ye'er nodded silently beside her, and then asked after thinking for a while: "If the saint summons slaves and maids these days...... When asked about some things back then, such as the grievances between Han Yanxuan, Shi Miyuan, and Yan Wang, and even some old things involving you, I'm afraid it's not easy for the slave to refuse...... ”

"The grievances and grievances of the three of them over the years, even including the attitude and position of the imperial court towards Ye Qing, you can tell the truth, if it is...... Ask about Hongu...... Let him ask Hongu. Li Fengniang was a little irritable in her heart, and the last thing she wanted to face was the pull and pull between her and Ye Qing over the years, but now, she had to face it.

"Perhaps...... Or...... The slave maid thought that it might be the best policy to shirk it to King Yan. Seeing that Li Fengniang opened her eyes slightly and glanced at her, Zhu Ye'er continued: "You naturally understand the character of the saint, and there are some things that he naturally will not ask you face-to-face, otherwise, in the attic of the Xinwang Mansion today, the saint will break the casserole and ask the ...... to the end." ”

"But Ye Qing ......." Li Fengniang was a little hesitant in her heart, indeed, she felt a little difficult to face Zhao Kuo for this kind of thing, and after Zhao Kuo knew the truth, Li Fengniang also knew that it was difficult for Zhao Kuo to ask herself.

Maybe it was indeed a good way for Zhao Kuo to get some old things he wanted to know from Ye Qing, but Li Fengniang didn't know why, but she was a little worried that Ye Qing would lead Zhao Kuo astray, and even ...... Even Li Fengniang suddenly felt a little entangled and unbalanced at this moment, fearing that Zhao Kuo would trust Ye Qing more and more because of this, and even more than his trust in her, the queen mother.

And just when Zhu Ye'er was serving Li Fengniang to bathe, Ye Qing had already ordered Xu Han to send King Shu's father and son into the palace, and as for Shi Miyuan, he was in the same carriage with him and slowly drove into the Dali Temple where Bi Zaiyu was already waiting.

The entire Lin'an has been completely taken over by Ye Qing's flower planting army on the grounds that Zhao Kuo ordered Ye Qing to take full control of all the matters that happened in the Xinwang Mansion today, and the forbidden army that originally haunted the streets and alleys of Lin'an also disappeared from Lin'an without a trace.

The carriage slowly drove into the Dali Temple, slowly stopped in front of the Fengbo Pavilion, Ye Qing took the lead in getting off the carriage and then stretched a long lazy waist, Shi Miyuan behind him was calm, looking at the Fengbo Pavilion under the fresh air after the rain, took a deep breath, and said with some enjoyment: "For so many years, this is the first time that Shi has Dali Temple today." ”

"Don't worry, this time I guarantee that you will stay in Dali Temple for a little longer." Ye Qing looked back at Shi Miyuan and said with a smile.

"King Yan thinks he's already sure to win?" Shi Miyuan was the first to walk into the corridor pavilion, ignoring the Dali Temple jailer next to him and Bi Zaiyu and other Dali Temple officials.

Ye Qing waved his hand and motioned for Bi Zaiyu to leave the rest of the people to retreat, and then followed into the Storm Pavilion.

"It was here that Yue Fei was unjustly killed. Actually, a lot of the time ....... Ye Qing looked around the Storm Pavilion and said with some emotion: "Many times I thought that one day the Storm Pavilion would also be my Ye Qing's home, but now it seems that Shi Xiang is still one step ahead of me."

Step. ”

"Do you think the Holy One will fully believe your words?" Shi Miyuan ignored Ye Qing's emotion, the prince and the loser, although he also believed in this wise saying, but now, he didn't think that he had completely reached the point of exhaustion.

"I know that Shi Xiang, your family is rich and rich, do you think that you ...... Will this be able to keep you safe? Since the Holy Lord has decided that I, Ye Qing, will be fully responsible for today's affairs, does Shi Xiang feel that it is necessary to make a senseless struggle? Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's fat cheeks and asked.

Shi Miyuan narrowed his small eyes slightly, looked at Ye Qing thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled: "In this way, obviously King Yan still has a backhand?" ”

"King Shu's father and son can't save you, your henchmen above the court...... Neither will it save you. Ye Qing smiled faintly and continued: "I know that Shi Xiang has been running the court for many years, and you will think that the reason why the Holy Lord will temporarily detain you in Dali Temple is enough to show that the Holy Lord still has some scruples in his heart about your Shi Miyuan's power above the court." But if Ye told you that when you talked with the saint in the Xinwang Mansion today, the saint asked the court whether it should follow the old system after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, or should it completely remove some useless yamen, do you think you Shi Miyuan can still be safe? ”

"Do you think this is Shi's backhand?" Shi Miyuan asked rhetorically, at least he was not discouraged at this moment for not finding out whether Ye Qing still had a backhand.

Looking at Shi Miyuan, who was still calm, Ye Qing still had an easy-going smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, you are not as stupid as Han Yanxuan back then, you know that you have a back hand for yourself, and the Holy Lord detains you in Dali Temple, not to rebel and deal with it on the spot, so that you think there is still a glimmer of hope, but ...... Ye wanted to say, Master Shi, you have no way out. After entering the Dali Temple, I will never give you the opportunity to walk out of the gate of the Dali Temple. ”

"It's a lose-lose situation. Does King Yan want to break the net with Shi Mouyu? Yes, with the current power of your Yan King, it is easy to get rid of Shi Mou, but have you ever thought that if you execute me without authorization, will the Holy Lord still believe you? Don't forget, the Holy One is suspicious of you because of your affairs in the Northland. King Yan, when you return to Lin'an this time, isn't your ambition in the court? Therefore, Shi believes that without the will of the saint, you will never dare to dispose of Shi without authorization. And as long as Shi does not die, there is always a way to persuade the saint to believe that Shi does not have the intention of causing chaos. Shi Miyuan also looked calm, at this moment, Shi Miyuan was far more than a step higher than Han Yanxuan's performance when he mutiny in the palace.

"In this way, Shi Xiang doesn't want to lose both sides of the court with Ye?" Ye Qing picked up the teacup and asked.

"Yes, Shi never intended to lose both sides with King Yan in the court, and even Shi thought that you and I could be in charge of the court together. Yan Wang is a good soldier, Shi is a good man, so wouldn't it complement each other, and it can protect the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty? Shi Miyuan said lightly, there was not much sincerity in his tone, but the words made Shi Miyuan think that Ye Qing would inevitably be moved by this.

"If Shi Xiang was willing to be so honest with each other when Ye returned to Lin'an last time, maybe Ye would really be moved, but now...... Master Shi, now that I, Ye, have an advantage, don't you think that such conditions seem a little insignificant in today's situation? Ye Qing seemed to be moved, but he was obviously a little greedy and ambitious.

"Open the skylight and say something bright, Shi has now become a fish, what conditions does King Yan have, you might as well say it directly, as long as Shi can do it, he will not disappoint King Yan." Shi Miyuan stared at Ye Qing's deep eyes and said decisively.

"Does Master Shi know how much money he has now? How many henchmen are there in the court? Ye Qing asked calmly.

The teacup that Shi Miyuan brought to his lips paused slightly, and then slowly put it down, and his face became gloomy: "What does King Yan mean?" Want to get paid at the bottom of the pot? Let Shi have nothing? ”

Looking at Ye Qing, who was smiling calmly, Shi Miyuan said in a deep voice: "If Shi Mou handed over all these to King Yan, wouldn't Shi Mou become a fish and meat to be slaughtered by King Yan?" Didn't King Yan feel that his appetite was too big? ”

"Even if you don't hand it all over, do you think you have the bargaining chips to negotiate terms with me? Master Shi, this is your last chance, presumably Lord Shi also knows that the conditions of the Holy Lord will never be more relaxed than Ye's. Although the saint is young, he has been persuaded by Ye to start plotting the inclusion of Ziqi, Luodian, and even Dali into my Great Song Dynasty territory after today, and if the saint wants to realize these ambitions, doesn't he need money? Even if Ye can use soldiers like a god, but he has no money and food, how can he help the saint expand his territory and compete with the Han and Tang Dynasties? Ye Qing began to release his chips and said.

Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing's smiling face silently, as if judging whether what Ye Qing said was true or false.

In his opinion, this time Ye Qing borrowed Zhao to expand his marriage and returned to Lin'an, which should be to compete with him for the court, but now Ye Qing said it himself, his ambition is not to lead the court, but to lead troops to fight and expand the territory that he has always favored.

When Zhao Kuo left the Xinwang Mansion today, he handed over all the things to Ye Qing with full authority, which was already a very obvious signal for Ye Qing, coupled with Li Fengniang's honesty to Zhao Kuo, so when Zhao Kuo gave him such a will, Ye Qing already knew that now the situation in Lin'an was under control.

The reason why Shi Miyuan has been kept instead of being executed in the Xinwang Mansion is that in addition to allowing Zhao Kuo to be able to see clearly the deceit above the court, he hopes that through Shi Miyuan's matter, he will not have the slightest suspicion in Zhao Kuo's heart.

Of course, there is also a purpose, the huge wealth behind Shi Miyuan is not only a mystery to Ye Qing now, but even Shi Miyuan himself, he himself does not know how much wealth he has.

And Ye Qing kept Shi Miyuan, obviously wanting to find out all the wealth of Shi Miyuan, as well as all his henchmen above the court, so that he could make it possible for the entire Shi Party above the court to be cleared, so that the court could change the world from now on.
