In the Yipin Building, Li Lifang personally poured wine for Liuzheng with a smile on his face, and watched the guys leave, and after the two of them were left in the private room, Li Lifang sighed for a long time: "Until today, Xia Guan only figured out what happened in Yipin Building that day, because of that incident, Xia Guan wanted to take this opportunity today to sincerely apologize to Lord Liu, Deng Youlong was co-opted by the traitor Han Yanxuan, and I, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, did not know at all." If Ye Qing hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark now, and I might even be implicated because of this. ”

"I can't blame Li Shangshu for this." Liuzheng listened to Li Lifang talk about Xie Shenfu's family, shook his head and sighed slightly: "If it is true, Liu's also has a great responsibility, he is in the position of the right minister, but he can't even protect a colleague who is loyal to the court, and he is sorry for Xie Shenfu's father and son." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself for staying as an adult, in fact...... In addition to Deng Youlong, the lower officials are also responsible for this matter. After all, it was Xia Guan who took Xie Shenfu away with the holy will that night, and the person is now in Dali Temple, so Lord Liu must have found out from Bi Siqing, right? Li Lifang only greeted him with two sentences, and then cut the topic to the point: "Today, the official invited the Lord to talk about it, just to ask the Lord Liu, did Xie Shenfu's father and son and Chen Fuliang really violate the law of the country?" ”

"Being an official is not as good as Xie Shenfu, even when it comes to loyalty to the imperial court, there are many places where Liu is not as good as Xie Shenfu. But what ...... Naturally, Li Shangshu can't be blamed for this, and even no one can blame him. "Staying in front of Li Lifang, it is naturally not good to blame Li Lifang for taking Xie Shenfu that night, and he was also imprisoned in Dali Temple.

It was precisely because Xie Shenfu was imprisoned in Dali Temple that he asked him to blame Ye Qing in front of Li Lifang, and Liuzheng did not have the courage.

On the day Emperor Taishang returned to the palace, since he chose not to go to the palace because he was sick, he had already made up his mind to be alone, so at this time, no matter who was to blame, Liuzheng did not have that confidence and confidence.

"Now that the traitor Han Yanxuan has been ambushed, doesn't the prime minister want to clear Xie Shenfu's grievances?" Li Lifang went straight to the point.

Liuzheng smiled bitterly: "Master Li, I'm afraid this matter is not something that Liu's can decide, right?" Ming people don't say secret words, although Lord Ye Qingye has not appeared in the court for more than half a month, and even the gate of Ye Mansion has been closed for more than half a month, but ...... You and I know very well, if Lord Ye doesn't nod, who can let Dali Temple release people? ”

"Lord Liu, according to the conjecture of the lower officials, Ye Qing obviously has no intention of putting Xie Shenfu and the others to death, otherwise, he will not be just imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple all the time. At that time, the officials of Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, knew a little about it, and there was nothing to do if he stayed as an adult, and he was even promoted to the right minister because of this. Therefore, according to the speculation of the lower officials, it should not be a big problem for Xie Shenfu not to die, but if he wants to enjoy the blessings, I am afraid that he will ...... It's a little harder, you say? ”

"What do you mean?" Liuzheng's title for Li Lifang involuntarily changed from Li Shangshu to Master Li.

"It is not difficult to clear the grievances of Xie Shenfu and others, it is rare...... What's next? Still at the mercy of the pacification envoy? I'm afraid that's a little too hard, isn't it? After all, Zheng Qingzhi, the head of the household department, is now very ambitious for the dispatch of the Lin'an pacification envoy. So even after Xie Shenfu and the others came out of Dali Temple, what countermeasures did they have to stay with adults? Li Lifang personally poured wine for Liuzheng again, and then continued: "As Lord Liufu said just now, Xie Shenfu has always been honest and honest as an official, and he is not afraid of the powerful, so ...... If Lord Shi wants to send Zheng Qingzhi as a pacification envoy to Lin'an Mansion, can you have a countermeasure? ”

Liuzheng took the wine glass and drank it all, silently watched Li Lifang pour wine for him, and after thinking for a while, he said with some caution: "Lord Li, we might as well open the skylight and say something bright, today Lord Li invited Liu's to come here, can you tell Liu's true intention?" Do you want to let Liu resign from Zuo and make way for Xie Shenfu, or ...... Lord Li plans to let only Lord Li take the lead in the future, and ...... with Shi Miyuan. ”

"Definitely." Li Lifang shook his head, and after thinking about it, he said bluntly: "There is a queen behind the lower official, and even the prince, so even if Li is unofficial, in Lin'an, in my Great Song Dynasty, few people dare to disrespect me, the entire Great Song Dynasty, even if it is the Northland...... Li can walk sideways. Therefore, Lord Liu, Lord Ye never embarrassed you at the beginning, and even specially reminded you to ...... Xie Shenfu in this building. Li Lifang's purpose seems to have jumped on the page.

"Does Lord Li want to let Liu join the Ye Party?" Liuzheng frowned, but there was no displeasure in his expression, and he obviously didn't feel that Li Lifang persuaded him to join the Ye Party as an insult: "Because of the grievances between Liu-san and Lord Ye, Liu-san has always been quite emotional because of this matter, and even ...... I don't know if it was right or wrong to stay like that back then, but ...... Now, everyone says that the death of the Emperor Taishang has nothing to do with Ye Qing, Lord Li, do you think you have to stay ....... ”

"Since Lord Liu's loyalty to the imperial court, wouldn't he also have the opportunity to find out the truth of the matter if he was temporarily committed to the Ye Party? What's more, the current situation above the court, Lord Liu, must have seen it very thoroughly, if no one comes out to contend with the court, then it must be the Shi Party's family, in this case, how can Lord Liu's so-called loyalty to the court? Everything is called this time and that time, if it is said that above the court, who else can compete with Shi Miyuan, presumably Lord Liu will never object to that person will be Ye Qing, right? Even if it wasn't to help Ye Qing suppress the Shi Party, even if it was for the sake of the imperial court, for the sake of the Emperor and the Holy Lord, is there a better way to vote under Ye Qing's command now? Li Lifang was obviously fully prepared, otherwise, he would not have said anything about this matter.

Looking at the pensive Liuzheng, Li Lifang was still a little worried about whether Liuzheng was still hesitating about the grievances between him and Ye Qing at the beginning, and after thinking about it, he continued: "Since Ye Qing returned to Lin'an last time, and then to Zhao Ruyu, the Duke of Yiguo, in Dali Temple, and even the promotion of Lord Liuda to the left minister, and even today...... Presumably, the adults should know that Lord Ye admires the loyalty of the adults. To put it mildly, the reason why Ye Qing didn't choose to take revenge on you at the beginning was not because he was afraid of anything, but because he knew that Lord Liu's was a courtier who was truly loyal to the court, not a courtier for his own selfishness. ”

"This matter still needs to be considered......

"Xie Shenfu and the others are still in the prison of Dali Temple, if they don't hurry up, once Shi Miyuan and them can become Lin'an pacification envoys for Zheng Qingzhi, I am afraid that Xie Shenfu and others will be more and less auspicious at that time, and at that time...... Even Ye Qing is afraid that it will be difficult to protect them. Li Lifang didn't wait for Liuzheng to finish speaking, and emphasized the urgency of Xie Shenfu and others.

Liuzheng let out a long breath, thought about it with a solemn expression, and then asked, "But I don't know why Lord Ye doesn't leave the house now?" ”

"The will left by the Emperor Taishang before his death, no matter how arbitrary Ye Qing is in the north, but now in Lin'an, coupled with the rumors in the streets, it is difficult for him to get out of the mansion for a while. And now for the Shi Party, it is the best opportunity to find a good dispatch for his henchmen. Presumably the Lord has also noticed, now there is only one right minister above the court, and the left minister's dispatch has been empty, once Shi Miyuan is appointed as the left minister, stay in the adult, it is not impossible for the court to become the court of the historian, at that time, who can control them? Who would dare to oppose them above the court? It's hard to say whether there is even a place for you to stay. At this time, it should be the time for you and other officials who are really loyal to the court to think about the society of the Great Song Dynasty, are you willing to watch the court become the court of the Shi Party to seek their own interests? Li Lifang spoke earnestly, but a large part of these words were taught to him by the queen, as for him, I am afraid that he will only be threatened with Ye Qing's statement and what happened to Xie Shenfu and others.

"But I wonder when Lord Ye will be able to release Xie Shenfu and the others?" There is still some confusion in his heart, but his expression has been a little loose.

"You can go directly to visit Bi Siqing, presumably after a conversation with Bi Siqing, there will be no more knots in the hearts of the adults, and at that time...... I believe that Xie Shenfu will return to the mansion. Liu, the lower official has to remind you that if you hesitate any longer, Shi Miyuan's power above the court will only ...... Let me wait for no more respite, and the court will be completely controlled by the Shi Party. Li Lifang sighed, raised his wine glass and drank it all with Liuzheng.

Liuzheng can still distinguish the severity of the court, but if he is allowed to vote under the Ye Party, then it is impossible to say that he has no scruples in his heart, after all, he was almost alone at the beginning, so that Ye Qing fell into the siege of Guanshan and almost died in a foreign country.

In addition to the grievances between him and Ye Qing at the beginning, the concern in his heart was how Xie Shenfu would look at him, and even ...... How will future generations perceive him? And, can Ye Qing's current situation be the same as before the death of the Emperor Taishang, even if he is not in the Lin'an court, his influence has always affected the court.

At this time, Ye Qing, who seemed to be under house arrest in the house, sat on a rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, under the shade of the big tree, Fang Fei helped him drive away mosquitoes, and motioned to the maid to move lightly, so as not to disturb Master Ye's sweet dream.

In the front hall at this time, Zhong Qing looked at Xie Daoqing, a girl whose eyes could impress people as long as they saw it once.

Xie Daoqing's expression was much haggard than when they first met, and a pair of eyes that were originally the most beautiful became a little dull, and he walked into the front hall for some reason, and when he saw the beautiful woman Zhong Qing sitting on the top, his expression was obviously stunned.

Quickly lowered her head, a little afraid to look at the woman who made her feel peerless, and hurriedly saluted her with a stiff movement.

Zhong Qing's heart sighed slightly, and then sighed and said: "You have been wandering in front of the Ye Mansion for half a month, although I also want to help you, but ...... However, my lord was also implicated this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to help Miss Xie. ”

"I ......." Xie Daoqing couldn't imagine that this Mrs. Ye, who was so beautiful that she had a little inferiority, spoke so directly, and even guessed what she was here without waiting for her to say the purpose.

"Except for my uncle, I don't know any other officials, and I don't know who can help me, my mother washes her face with tears at home every day, and the subordinates in the family are also walking, running, and even ...... Even before leaving, he stole a lot of my family's things. If...... If I have a way, I'll ...... I won't wander around here every day. Madam, please be kind and let me see Lord Ye, whether he is willing to help me or not, I will be very grateful to you for ....... ”

"I'll try, how about you sit here for a while?" Zhong Qing sighed, listening to what happened to Xie Daoqing, but he remembered Bai Chun at the beginning, when his father Bai Bingzhong was exiled, I am afraid that Bai Chun, who was the only one left, was even more lonely and helpless than Xie Daoqing in front of him.
