1018 Goodbye
The West Lake at night is obviously more beautiful, under the light of the lights that symbolize the prosperity and prosperity, the West Lake at this time is even more quiet and peaceful, the faint candle flame on the lonely mountain and the starlight of the night sky are intertwined together, revealing a stream of mystery and royal unique majesty.
Zhao Yan's ears were still echoing with Zhong Qing's words, as well as Liuzheng's bitter admonitions, especially at the first time Zhong Qing told him, Zhao Yan felt a bang in his mind, and it was blank in an instant, only the words "rebellion" were echoing.
In the Lonely Mountain Chonghua Palace, under the dim light, the palace maids and eunuchs were extremely cautious in their every move, carefully trying not to make any movement, for fear of disturbing the Emperor Taishang, who had never been seen for a long time.
In the somewhat dead hall, Zhao Yan stared blankly at the candle flame in front of him, even now, he still couldn't believe that Ye Qing was actually going to set up a capital in the north.
At the end of the first month of the fifth year of Shaoxi, Zhao Yan finally made up his mind to summon Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan back to Lin'an, and during the period of Yuanri, he also saw the current saint who had not been seen for a long time.
The three major capital protectors were placed in the north, and the majority of the capital guards were led by Zhao Kuanyao, the king of Jia, and at the same time opened Enke for the north, and the list of officials was personally brought back to Lin'an by Ye Qing to submit the royal approval.
The imperial court agreed to almost all of Ye Qing's requests, even including that he could continue to settle the affairs of the Northland, and he did not have to return to Lin'an with Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan.
Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and Rong Guogong all frowned, but they had their own concerns. On the other side, Ye Qing had a leisurely expression, making tea leisurely and comfortably, and let out exclamations from time to time, and the three people who watched it were itching with hatred.
The court's goodwill exceeded Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan's expectations, originally they thought that in the matter of officials, the court would never delegate power so much, but the court actually agreed to Ye Qingkaienke's request after thinking about it for only half a month.
However, the imperial court asked Ye Qing to return to Ancheng with the list of officials to present the royal approval, which also made Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan feel a faint smell of conspiracy.
The two believed that Ye Qing would never be unnoticed, even if the imperial court had released the greatest kindness to him now, the gap between Ye Qing and the imperial court would obviously not be released so quickly.
Ye Qing's toughness and assertiveness in the Northland completely exceeded Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan's expectations, even in such an important matter as resetting the capital protection mansion, Ye Qing's attitude was firm and made Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan a little suspicious, whether Ye Qing was going to rebel against the court in the next step.
Of course, for Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, this trip to the north cannot be said to be completely fruitless, and the northland is obviously not an absolute monolith, although the officials of several important cities, such as Jinan, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Chang'an and other state capitals, are completely firmly controlled by Ye Qing, but in some less conspicuous and less important state capitals, both Shi Miyuan and Han Yanzhou can be regarded as having a small gain.
Therefore, this trip to the Northland, although it is not very rewarding for the two, it is also worth the trip.
Of course, there are naturally regrets, whether it is Xin Qiji or Yu Yunwen, they were originally the ones they wanted to win over the most, but no matter what kind of tricks they used to win over and divide the relationship between them and Ye Qing, they did not achieve the desired effect.
Especially Shi Miyuan, when he looked at Ye Qing looking at him with a smug smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable and weak-hearted.
With the sound of footsteps outside, Jia Shi stood at the door and reported to Ye Qing, Xin Qiji came from Jinan Mansion this time, and brought him a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Listening to Jia She's words at the door, Shi Miyuan stood up suddenly, looked at the familiar box that was being carried in the yard at the moment, and then looked at Ye Qing, who was even more proud on his face, Shi Miyuan couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh!
"Ye Qing, you ...... You're such a villain! Shi Miyuan's expression was embarrassed with anger, and he raised his fat finger and pointed at Ye Qing and said angrily.
"Master Shi is really polite, so Ye is disrespectful to be so generous." Ye Qing smiled very proudly, and Shi Miyuan's face became more and more ugly.
There was a slight sneer on the corner of Han Yanxuan's mouth, how could he not see the current situation, Shi Miyuan was ruthlessly cheated by Ye Qing again this time!
And Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui, at the moment, was holding the teacup and didn't know what to do, seeing Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan spread out the secret fight between each other on the table, an inexplicable feeling of emptiness instantly rose in his heart, as if he was being naked by Ye Qing at this moment.
Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing's increasingly hateful face, and said a few good words angrily, and then flicked his sleeves and took the lead in leaving the Chang'an Administration.
Watching Jia Shi walk into the courtyard, he looked at the familiar box angrily, and after kicking the box a few times as if angry, he looked back at Ye Qing and a few others in the room who were unmoved, and sneered: "Ye Qing, okay, this time Shi has confessed, but don't be too happy, this is just the beginning, you and I will see!" ”
"Ye will accompany him to the end." Ye Qing, who looked at ease, said aloud in the hall.
As Shi Miyuan left the government office, Ye Qing waved his hand at Jia She, who had been standing at the door, and motioned to carry down the boxes that Xin Qiji had already sent.
"In this way, Lord Ye returned to Lin'an...... But be careful. Shi Miyuan has always been narrow-minded and will be revenged, and this person is insidious and cunning, when Lord Ye returns to Lin'an, he has to guard against it. Han Yanxuan said while drinking tea.
In the hall of the four people, with Shi Miyuan's departure, it became three people, and everyone came here today to say goodbye to Ye Qing and return to Lin'an, and at this time, since Han Yanxuan had spoken, Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui naturally needed to continue to sit there, and continue to bear the swords and swords of the confrontation between the three powerful ministers of the court.
Zhao Shikui, who was a little restless, was holding a teacup that was already cold, he could have waited outside the hall, waiting for Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan to say goodbye to Ye Qing respectively, and then come in to say goodbye, so that he didn't need to bear this invisible nervous pressure.
But Ye Qing obviously didn't plan to do it, and invited the three of them to the hall together from the beginning, and in front of the three of them, he showed the imperial court to him about Kaienke and the will that he could return to Lin'an at a later date.
"What do you mean by this?" Ye Qing asked lightly.
"Shi Miyuan is not what it used to be, Lord Ye, Shi Miyuan is no longer the Shi Miyuan who can only endure at the beginning, Han is just advising you, I am afraid that it will not be too peaceful to return to Lin'an this time." Han Yanxuan was doing a tentative way.
"Then thank you Lord Han for reminding me. Since Ye was not afraid of him back then, will he be afraid of him now? Ye Qing looked at Han Yanxuan, and the meaning beyond his words was to gently close the door that Han Yanxuan wanted to try to knock on.
Although Zhao Shikui on the side was a little absent-minded, he could also hear that the words of the two were obviously not as simple as talking on the surface, especially the expressions on the faces of the two seemed to reveal more information than their words.
"Since that's the case, it's Han being nosy. However, speaking of this nosy matter, Han suddenly remembered that before leaving Chang'an, there was another matter that had been unresolved. You and I are both courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, so we should act according to the law, and Sima Jian, the commander of the Anfeng Army, who was originally guarding the Dasan Pass some time ago, ....... The sneer on the corner of Han Yanxuan's mouth became thicker and thicker.
"Ye has already informed the Ministry of War about this, not to mention ...... When Sima Jian sent troops to help Lanzhou, the Privy Council also had the right to dispatch troops, and everything was an order when Ye was still a privy envoy, not to mention going against the will of the imperial court. Ye Qing took all the responsibility for Sima Jian's dispatch of troops to help Yu Yunwen and others attack Lanzhou.
"Ye Qing, do you know that this is a passover? Even if you were still a privy envoy at that time, don't forget, Han Mou is the left minister, and the imperial court sends troops from all walks of life, and it is definitely not for you to send a privy envoy, not to mention...... When Sima Jian led An Feng's army to Lanzhou, the Privy Council's dispatch power had already exchanged military departments, and now your words are difficult to stand. Han Yanxuan's expression was cold, and his sunken eye sockets and emaciated face gave people an eerie feeling at the moment.
Ye Qing was not frightened by Han Yanxuan's might, but Zhao Shikui next to him, holding the teacup, had begun to tremble slightly nervously at this time.
It's like two masters fighting in front of him, although it won't hurt him, the pond fish, but the fierce strength of the sword and sword exchange made Zhao Shikui feel an invisible huge pressure, and he rushed towards him.
As if he was placed on a frying pan, Zhao Shikui's feelings at the moment no longer know how to describe, that is, he was not qualified to persuade the two powerful ministers, and he did not have the courage to avoid the huge pressure of the two of them.
"In this way, Lord Ye is sure that the Ministry of War knows about Sima Jian's private dispersal of the pass?" Han Yan asked aggressively.
Originally, he wanted to try to join forces with Ye Qing in the court again, and then took the opportunity of Ye Qing's return to Lin'an this time to defeat Shi Miyuan first, so that after he had one less strong opponent above the court, he could take advantage of the court and the emperor's current dissatisfaction with Ye Qing to get rid of Ye Qing in Lin'an.
Han Yanxuan's wishful thinking played very well, first teamed up with Ye Qing to get rid of Shi Miyuan above the court, and then removed Ye Qing, and finally made himself cover the sky with one hand above the court.
But Ye Qing seemed to know what he was thinking, and from the beginning of his first tentative words, he slowly closed the door to join forces, no longer giving him any chance.
So this made Han Yanxuan have to move out of the original incident when Sima Jian led An Feng's army to help Lanzhou, to force Ye Qing to comply.
And he really couldn't figure it out, since Ye Qing had already turned his face with Shi Miyuan in front of himself and Rong Guogong, and Shi Miyuan also let out his words, when he returned to Lin'an, he would inevitably have to be embarrassed by him, so Ye Qing should choose to cooperate with him at this time, but why...... But he wouldn't want to?
The same thought also appeared in Zhao Shikui's mind, and he also didn't understand why Ye Qing wanted to refuse the kindness released by Han Yanxuan.
