1052 Shoukang Palace

In this world, the best medicine that men can use to relieve stress is none other than women.

In the early morning, Fang Fei did not escape the clutches of Ye Daguan, Zhong Qing angrily slapped Ye Qing who wanted to leave her on the bed at the same time, and then ignored Fang Fei's coquettish voice, grabbed her messy clothes and got up and ran, leaving only her graceful posture flashing in the afterglow of Ye Daguan.

When Zhong Qing finished greeting Xiao Zhong Ye, Ye Qing and the radiant Fang Fei walked out of the attic in the backyard together, facing Zhong Qing's smiling gaze, although he was used to it, he still felt a little shy today.

The neatly dressed Ye Qing was dressed in a purple curved collar and narrow-sleeved court dress, with a goldfish bag, jade sword, jade pendant, and brocade ribbon hanging from his waist, and a soft foot on the top of his head, coupled with his tall figure, as well as Ye Qing's angular facial features and easy-going smile, which made Zhong Qing, who turned his head, look a little dazed.

Most of the people next to the pillow are dark cyan narrow-sleeved robes on weekdays, and the number of times they wear grand court clothes is only a handful, not to mention that it is such a grand wear today, which makes Zhong Qing, who is a little dazed, faintly worried in his heart, if Ye Qing is dressed like this, if he goes to the street, wouldn't it be ...... Isn't it to arouse the hearts of those young girls?

Zhong Qing, who was in a daze for a while, involuntarily came to his mind that Xie Daoqing, a young girl who had come to the house to look for Ye Qing.

Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing staring at him in a daze, and then looked at Fang Fei who was snickering next to him, and couldn't help but look down at himself with a little weakness: "What's wrong?" Is it wrong to wear it? ”

"No, Madame is fascinated by the heroism of the master." Fang Fei covered her mouth and said with a smile.

Zhong Qing didn't come back to her senses quickly until Ye Qing's hand swayed in front of her, her fair cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and the worry of being afraid that Ye Qing would be seduced became more and more intense, and she asked in a little panic, "Are you going now?" ”

"I will not be waiting at the gates with other officials, but ...... It is still necessary to greet you at the Donghua Gate, so as not to lose the actions of a courtier. Ye Qing sat down with a smile and said.

In addition to the narrow sleeves, there is naturally a more solemn and luxurious wide-cuffed costume in this court dress, but Ye Qing has never liked the cuffed clothing, because if you wear the wide cuffed court dress, the two hands cannot hang naturally at all, and you need to keep it on your waist at all times to avoid the sleeves dragging on the ground.

Therefore, narrow-sleeved clothing has always been Ye Qing's favorite clothing, and even the head on the top of his head, he chose a soft-footed head, rather than the kind of foot head that is like two wings.

"We'll be waiting for you to come back in the house." After putting aside those feelings of gain and loss, Zhong Qing looked at the tough and handsome husband in front of him and said.

"Okay, Zhong Silkworm will be in the house, if there is anything to find him." Ye Qing patted the back of Zhong Qing's hand, and then walked towards the door of the mansion with Tao Qian.

Zhong Qing and Fang Fei looked at the tall back, and they inexplicably felt like a soldier going on a battle, and even when Ye Qing's figure disappeared behind the shadow wall, Zhong Qing even had a feeling of farewell in the depths of his heart.

Involuntarily rushed out, looking at Ye Qing who stopped at the gate of the mansion, Tao Qian walked to the carriage with great interest, leaving space for the couple to talk alone.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, just wait for me to come back at home." Ye Qing stroked Zhong Qing's cheek and said.

"You...... You must be careful, the concubine is waiting for you to come back. Zhong Qing held Ye Qing's hand, but tears flowed out involuntarily.

Ye Qing, who wiped away her tears for Zhong Qing, comforted Zhong Qing softly, and it was not until Zhong Qing's mood stabilized a little that Ye Qing turned around and got into the carriage.

There are obviously a lot more pedestrians on the royal street than usual, and there are still a large number of armored forbidden troops patrolling the royal street, although the shops on both sides of the street are still open for business as yesterday, even if the people are also waiting for the emperor to return to the palace today, but in this noisy and lively scene, there is still a faint sense of invisible majesty and solemnity.

Under the patrol of the forbidden army, there are very few carriages and sedan chairs on the royal street, almost all of them are pedestrians walking on their legs, walking on both sides of the road, and the spacious road in the middle has already been imposed martial law by the forbidden army and others.

Yefu's carriage came out of Zhonghe Alley, and the forbidden army patrolling it seemed to have known each other for a long time, and quickly made way of a passage, so that Yefu's carriage drove up the royal street unimpeded, and quickly galloped towards the direction of Donghua Gate.

The front division of the Donghua Gate was sending Xia Zhen, watching Ye Mansion's carriage drive over from a distance, and immediately took the lead in running over, and was called to Shi Miyuan's side early this morning and was instructed, so after seeing Ye Mansion's carriage at this moment, Xia Zhen's face did not look too nervous, but looked more relaxed.

"Xia Zhen, the former general of the last general's hall, has seen Lord Ye." Xia Zhen saluted respectfully beside the carriage.

"Where's Master Shi?" Ye Qing in the carriage asked.

"Go back to your lordship, Lord Shi will go to Genshan Gate to welcome Emperor Taishang back to the palace." Xia Zhen didn't know why Ye Qing asked like this, but he still answered honestly.

"What does Master Shi have to say to you?" Ye Qing slowly stepped out of the carriage and asked as he looked at the scenery around Donghua Gate.

Xia Zhen was stunned again, looking at Ye Qing's easy-going smiling face, and involuntarily compared the Ye Qing in front of him with the rumored Ye Qing.

The hero in front of him in the north was much younger than he imagined, and his heroic appearance in a purple court uniform made Xia Zhen's eyes shine, obviously he didn't expect that the hero who was entrenched in the north and was not controlled by the imperial court would look like this.

After being stunned for a moment, Xia Zhen, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said: "Lord Hui Ye, Lord Shi just ordered the last general to evacuate from the Donghua Gate after the Emperor Taishang entered the palace, and there is no need to continue patrolling here." ”

Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned casually, and saw a figure running quickly towards this side among the forbidden troops not far away.

At the end of the eighth day of July in the fifth year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing, who had been waiting for more than two hours at the Donghua Gate, faintly saw the majestic honor guard of the Great Song Dynasty royal family on the royal street, and slowly greeted him at the Donghua Gate.

There was a team of nearly 2,000 people, and after nearly half an hour, all of them passed through the Donghua Gate and then entered the palace from the main gate of the palace.

It is still in the Shoukang Palace where the Emperor Taishang is located, and the spirited Emperor Zhao Yan walked into the main hall surrounded by Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan and other courtiers, and after more than five years, he once again accepted the ministers to bow down.

Ye Qing and Emperor Taishang in the main hall, the two have had contact since they met each other at the Donghua Gate, and since they entered the main hall, their eyes have not been in contact at all.

Ye Qing would inadvertently look away when the Emperor Taishang looked over, and the Emperor would quickly look away from Ye Qing when Ye Qing looked at him.

Shi Miyuan is like a Maitreya Buddha, he sees everything that happens in the hall, and today's events are more lively than court affairs for him.

On the other side, Han Yanxuan had a confident sneer on the corner of his mouth, glancing at Ye Qing from time to time and then snorting disdainfully, or looking straight at the question and answer of the Emperor and other courtiers.

Xie Shenfu and the others were either listening to the vague words of Emperor Zhao Yan, or they lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan glanced at each other, and then Ye Qing looked directly at the high Emperor Zhao Yan for the first time after entering the main hall: "It is rare for the Emperor to return to the palace once, and the minister Ye Qing didn't want to bother the Emperor with the affairs of the court, but this matter is imminent, and it is related to the life and death reputation of my Song Dynasty officials, so the minister has to risk his death to disturb the Emperor Taishang after the Emperor returns to the palace." ”

"Since you know that you shouldn't bother, you have to bother, Ye Qing, as a courtier, don't you understand the compassion for the emperor, the hard work of just returning from the lonely mountain? You can't wait for tomorrow ....... Han Yanxuan said coldly.

Just before he finished speaking, Shi Miyuan on the side spoke: "Lord Han, aren't you afraid that Lord Ye will expose your ugly things in public?" ”

Han Yanxuan frowned, and his gaze shot towards Shi Miyuan like two cold lights: "Master Shi, what do you mean by this?" As the left minister of my Great Song Dynasty, Han is loyal to the court and the saint, and he is worthy of his heart, how can he say something ugly? Is it difficult for Master Shi to be framed and framed? ”

Han Yanxuan's words had a great element of reminding Shi Miyuan, this time should not be the time for you and me to fight, even if you have something to do, it should be said that Ye Qing is not controlled in the north.

"Lord Han still knows that I am the left minister of the Great Song Dynasty?" Ye Qing looked at Han Yanxuan sideways, and the corners of his mouth also sneered: "Lord Han is the left minister of the imperial court, the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and the saint has not taken care of the government for a long time, and who dares to rebel against Lord Han in the court?" Now that the Emperor Taishang is returning to the palace, Ye wants to ask Lord Han, Jiaxing Mansion sentenced Xie Qubo and Lin'an sentenced Chen Fuliang to not know what crime he committed, and he wanted to be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department by Deng Youlong, the servant of the Criminal Department, by Lord Han? ”

"Lord Ye, are you not clear whether you are in the prison of the Criminal Department or in Dali Temple? This man...... Is it you, Ye Qing, ignoring the imperial court and arresting it, or is it that I, Han Yanxuan, ordered someone to arrest him, and asked Lin'an to appease Xie Shenfu, wouldn't it be clear to Lord Xie? Han Yanxuan's gaze swept over Xie Shenfu on the side and said.

And Li Lifang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was standing next to Xie Shenfu yawning, Ye Qing was simply miserable last night, and the person who was arrested was less than half an hour, and then most of them were immediately released. In this way, it was to let Li Lifang toss until dawn, and then he finished disposing of the affairs of Dali Temple, and then hurriedly returned to the house, and he didn't even have time to eat, so he had to change into court clothes and go to Genshan Gate to greet the emperor.

Although he was still a little stunned at this moment, Li Lifang still knew the priority of the matter, and without waiting for Xie Shenfu on the side to speak, he took the lead and said: "Emperor Yu, Chen Fuliang and Xie Qubo were indeed arrested by Deng Youlong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and the minister did not know at that time. Later, the minister summoned Deng Youlong to inquire and learned that he was indeed the one who was arrested first on the orders of the left prime minister Han Daren when there was no conclusive evidence. Although the minister is in charge of the criminal department of the Song Dynasty, but above this court, Lord Zuo Xiang has always said one thing and another, and will not listen to the advice of others, so in order to avoid the good ministers being wronged, he had to ask the Dali Temple Qing Bi to meet the Lord Bi again to bring people to Dali Temple first, so as not to be victimized by the small people. This is also for the sake of ....... ”

"Hehe......." The high-ranking Emperor Zhao Yan interrupted Li Lifang with a smile and waved his hand to continue, and then said casually: "These are all court matters, you don't have to play with me, I have been in Zen for many years, and I don't care about the government." Since this matter is difficult to decide, it is better to put it aside for a while, and then ask the Holy Lord to judge this matter after the Holy One returns from the Lonely Mountain. Xie Shenfu was recommended by me, and if Xie Shenfu's son made a mistake, I also had the responsibility of not paying attention to it, so whether it was public or private, I should not ask about it. ”

"The emperor is too high, and the ministers have Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang in their hands to sue for ......." Ye Qing frowned slightly, the Emperor Taishang didn't give him a chance at all, and completely planned to prevent everything from developing towards the battle of the court.

"Okay, I've been all the way, I'm a little tired, you guys go down first. By the way, Ye Qing, I made an order a few days ago to let you enter the palace today, in that case, you might as well rest in the palace, I still have some things I want to ask you about the Northland in a while. After Emperor Zhao Yan finished speaking, he no longer gave the ministers below a chance to speak, and with the support of a eunuch who was a stranger to Ye Qing and others, he slowly got up and walked to the hall next to him.

The moment the Emperor got up, Han Yanxuan was the first to salute and obey the order, and when the others saw this, they had no choice but to salute, and then slowly walked out of the main hall.

Ye Qing stood there motionless, Han Yanxuan sneered and then walked out as well, Shi Miyuan moved his fat body, walked towards Ye Qing, looked at the ministers who were slowly walking out behind him, sighed in front of Ye Qing, and then said: "Lord Ye is so self-conscious, but ...... What Shi said counts today, but if a few days later, Lord Ye is already in prison, then Lord Ye should not blame Shi for not keeping his promise. ”

"Didn't Master Shi already let Xia Zhen and the others withdraw?" Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's fat face of schadenfreude and pity.

"Presumably, Lord Ye has also seen clearly at the Donghua Gate today, the honor guard of the Emperor Taishang has nearly 2,000 people, plus the people from the guard division at the Jiahui Gate, Lord Ye ...... Xie Shenfu is afraid that the next step is to seal the city gate and impose a curfew. In the entire Lin'an City, since Xie Shenfu stepped out of this hall, I am afraid that there will be no one in all the streets and alleys. Shi didn't know how many people Master Ye was in Lin'an City now, and Shi didn't really want to know, but Shi had to advise Lord Ye if he resisted...... I'm afraid the odds aren't very good. Shi Miyuan said with some regret.

Ye Qing turned his head and looked at the guards who surrounded the entrance of the main hall in an instant after the ministers left, nodded and said with a smile: "The victory or defeat has not yet been decided, I am afraid that it is a little early for Lord Shi to draw conclusions." Even if Lin'an City is already impassable now, even if there are also heavy guards in this Shoukang Palace, it is ...... It's not yet at the point of the stage, and the result is too early. However, Ye Mou is grateful to Master Shi today, and I also hope that Lord Shi remembers that the promise is until the sun rises tomorrow, how about it? ”

Shi Miyuan lowered his head, looked at his fat belly, stroked his belly with one hand, and after thinking about it, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Since Shi Mouyuan agreed, he will not change it, after all, whether this matter is successful or not, it is not much of a threat to me Shi Miyuan, it is just a change of opponent above the court." Lord Ye is good at doing it himself, but if he is sent tonight, Shi will definitely return. ”

"Master Shi walks slowly." Ye Qing saluted to Shi Miyuan, who was full of red light, Shi Miyuan followed in return, and then slowly walked towards the outside of the main hall.

After the entire palace walked out with the ministers, especially the Shoukang Palace, it was surrounded by the soldiers of the Guard Division in an instant, and the swords, guns, and swords flashed in the sunlight with a solemn and dignified light.

Shi Miyuan walked out of the main gate of Li, looked at the back of Han Yanxuan who disappeared on the tower of Jiahui Gate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull out a sneer, and after laughing silently, he got into the carriage and began to drive in the direction of Donghua Gate.
