As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in this era, as long as the pacification envoy of the official side is a little tougher, and the people and things can be matched, the scheming city government can match its rights, then the influence and prestige along the way are completely like the existence of a soil emperor.

If there is the blessing of superior geographical conditions, the emperor is far away, and the center of gravity of the imperial court is not here, then the pacification envoy along the way can really be said to be like a dragon, although there is a substantial difference with the real dragon, but along the way, it is obviously above 10,000 people.

Zhao Ruyu came to Huainan East Road, which had been in charge of Ye Qing for many years, and he was destined to be unable to ask for benefits, so it was completely expected that he would leave in a gloomy manner in just a few days.

The fox didn't catch it but caused a commotion, it was originally designed to lure to Huainan East Road, and Zhao Ruyu was confused by the illusion that he could eliminate dissidents in front of him, so he was defeated in Yangzhou and had to leave to rush back to Lin'an backyard to extinguish the fire, which was also guessed by Shi Miyuan and Han Cheng father and son.

How could Ye Qing do what he said? There are people coming and going, people of all levels, and there are countless businessmen who go south and north, and they work tirelessly, and some nobles, wealthy families, and literati will also come for the scenery of Yangzhou, so when Zhao Ruyu returned to Lin'an, the news of Liu Dexiu's death has been spread all over the Lin'an court.

With the news of Liu Dexiu's death, the officials of the court played like snowflakes, and they all went to the court, the saints, and the left minister, as expected, almost all of them were rehabilitating King Xin.

Set things right, if you want to correct a wrong thing that has happened, someone must be responsible for what happened at the time and be punished, Qin Hui, who died back then, will not escape this catastrophe, not to mention Zhao Ruyu, who is still alive today?

Above the court, with the acquiescence of Han Cheng and Shi Miyuan, the officials geared up and began to think about how to rehabilitate King Xin.

The undecided saint Zhao Dian also began to hesitate, whether to push Zhao Ruyu out as a scapegoat, he was actually not very clear about what happened back then, after all, at that time, he was still a powerless prince that few court officials were willing to pay attention to.

And on the first day of Zhao Ruyu's return to Lin'an, before he had time to go to the palace to see the Holy Lord Zhao, a decree from the Gushan Garden, like a bolt of lightning, slashed straight down on him.

The Emperor Taishang actually began to speak for the King of Letters back then, and the news from Gushan was that the Emperor Taishang often dreamed of King Xin's dreams these days, telling about the grievances of the year, so that the Emperor Taishang was in tears every time he was surprised in his dreams.

Gushan's vague news about the Emperor Taishang may not have any impact on today's saints, after all, the relationship between father and son, after the Emperor Taishang completely moved to Gushan, it was like a family, and no one would ask about anyone's affairs anymore.

But even if it can't have any impact on the current saint, it doesn't mean that it won't create a signal of support for other officials in the court.

What's more, Han Cheng's relationship with the imperial family, the close relationship between Shi Hao, the old and immortal Duke of Wei, and the emperor, empress, and empress dowager, can always let other officials above the court find something that meets their current interests, and help them start to continue to stand in line above the court.

When officials are dismissed on charges of corruption, dereliction of duty, and so on, in fact, the real reason is often not what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears.

Ye Qing of Yangzhou didn't think about leaving Zhao Ruyu in Yangzhou forever, but in this case, it would be too dangerous, and it would be easy to put himself in a situation where he would go against the entire court, which would make Han Cheng and Shi Miyuan come against him together after Zhao Ruyu was missing, so it was not advisable.

What's more, he also wants Zhao Ruyu to die in the end clearly, so that he knows that he has a debtor and a debtor, and why he has come to this point.

Zhong Qing and Bai Chun, the two women, are now in Lin'an, plus the two of them are holding an umbrella in their hands, and there is also Li Fengniang's "internal response", Ye Qing believes that at least at this time, there is no force in Lin'an City that can easily hurt Bai Chun and Zhong Qing under the protection of the umbrella.

Ye Qing, the appeasement envoy, at least on the bright side, still gave a lot of convenience to Liu Dexiu's family, who had served as the prefect of Yangzhou for many years. After finding out the cause of death, he handed over Liu Dexiu's body to the three Liu brothers, and similarly, on this day, Ye Qing, as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, still went to Liu's mansion to mourn.

When Ye Qing arrived at Liu's mansion, he naturally flattered the Huang family and his three sons, at this sensitive moment, Liu Dexiu was defined as a corrupt official, and he also found evidence from the backyard, so he was able to come over to mourn Liu Dexiu, the original colleague, without hesitation, such a move naturally easily won the admiration of the three Liu brothers, that is, even the Huang family was also wiping tears while being grateful to Ye Qing.

In a rather secluded place in Liu's Mansion where Su Min's linen clothes were full of courtyards, after Ye Qing said goodbye to the Huang family, the third son of the Liu family followed Ye Qing over.

"What's next?" Ye Qing asked approachingly.

The friendly attitude and casual smile made the three brothers flattered again, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and I couldn't react for a while, what did Ye Qing mean by this.

"After the thick burial, do the three of them plan to take their old mother back to their hometown, or do they ...... Continuing to be on duty everywhere? Ye Qing smiled and continued: "The matter of Ling Zun naturally has nothing to do with the three of you, and the imperial court will not be angry with the three of you because of this matter, so if the three of them have already made up their minds, ...... it." ”

"Lord Ye, Xiaguan...... Xia Guan hasn't thought about what to do in the future for the time being. The eldest son, Liu Minxing, looked at Ye Qing and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, this period should be based on Ling Zun, as for what I mentioned today, it is also for the sake of Ling Zun and I as officials on Huainan East Road, and moreover, it is ...... I'll lead my army north tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to go. Ye Qing said calmly.

Liu Minxue, the second son of the Liu family, listened to Ye Qing's words, and finally took the lead in reacting, compared to the truth of the eldest brother just now, he finally came back to his senses, and the words of the reassuring adult in front of him were obviously for the sake of the three brothers, and he intended to help the three brothers in this difficult moment.

Combined with the three of them, the understanding and analysis of their father's affairs in the past few days, as well as the words of their mother Huang, have clearly understood that on the night of Shangyuan Festival, it was originally the father and mother who left the mansion together, so that this matter was completely disconnected from the three brothers and protected the three brothers from being implicated in any way.

But at the last moment, my father suddenly changed his mind for some reason, leaving his mother and the three of them in the mansion, and more importantly, when the right minister Zhao and the appeasement envoy Ye came to the mansion that night, when the right minister wanted to arrest them and go back to the prison, it was the mother Huang who begged Ye Qing for mercy, so as to avoid the prison of their family.

So is there something hidden in this? Or, did his father know that he was in danger, so he asked Lord Ye to take care of his mother and the three of them?

Just when Liu Minxue was thinking about this, the boss Liu Minxing listened to Ye Qing's words that he was going north tomorrow, and saluted and said, "Then the lower official is here to wish the Lord a victory...... ”

"Big brother, slow." Liu Minxue hurriedly grabbed the boss's arm, and then said respectfully to Ye Qing: "Lord Ye, the lower official has something to ask." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Ye Qing said with an easy-going attitude and responsiveness.

"If the three subordinate brothers return to their respective posts, what will be the attitude of the imperial court? As the privy envoy of my Great Song Dynasty, you have been in Lin'an, and you are also in charge of Huainan East Road, and you are also the envoy of Beidi Fourth Road and Jingzhaofu Road, so you naturally know better than the three Xiaguan brothers how the imperial court will treat us criminal ministers. Therefore, if the three subordinates return to their respective positions, will they be excluded by others, and will their careers in this life be hopeless? As the second son in the family, Liu Minxue's brain is much more flexible than the other two.

But in Ye Qing's opinion, this should be the first thing they should think of, but they still need to be reminded by themselves, and they have to think about it for a long time before they can react to why they are here today.

As Liu Minxue asked Ye Qing this question, Liu Minxing and the third Liu Minwen finally reacted, why did they come to mourn their father at this delicate moment, after all, now their father is a criminal minister of the court.

"Lord Ye, please accept the bows of the lower officials." The three brothers, who were instantly filled with gratitude in their hearts, saluted Ye Qing together.

"There is no need to be like this, I have already said just now, although I have little personal relationship with Ling Zun on weekdays, it is not as incompatible as it is rumored outside." Ye Qing took a deep breath, and then continued: "The careers of the three of them...... Presumably, the three of them have just thoroughly understood the stakes. As a pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, it stands to reason that it should not be like this, but if the three of them have the intention to serve the country, they might as well stay here, Beidi Fourth Road, Huainan East Road, Jingzhaofu Road, although it is a little bitter, it is not as prosperous as the Yangtze River, but fortunately, it is now my Great Song Dynasty territory. If the three of you stay, I can also provide you with a place to use it, and it will be more relaxed in the environment than if you go back to your respective positions. ”

The environment that Ye Qing said, the three brothers naturally understood that they would not be excluded by their colleagues, or suppressed by the court and their superiors, and the three brothers were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, this kind of thing is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to do, right?

Let's not talk about anything else, just the appointment and dismissal of the three brothers in their respective positions, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

And the three of them are not in the same place, but in three places, in this way, if they want to transfer all three of their brothers to Huainan East Road, and at this sensitive moment, the three brothers really can't think of it, does the appeasement in front of them really have such a big right?

Ye Qing looked at the three brothers who were hesitant, in front of him, they didn't even dare to say the worry in their hearts, but this didn't mean that Ye Qing didn't know what the three brothers were worried about.

In Ye Qing's eyes, the three brothers, who were like rookies in the court, were completely full of joy and anger, and they didn't need him to guess to know at all, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to answer me now, wait for Ling Zun to ......." ”

"Yes...... But aren't you going north tomorrow, my lord? The third Liu Minwen, who was a little scared, asked, his tone cautious and respectful, as if he was deeply afraid that his words would offend the appeasement in front of him.

"If you figure it out and think it's feasible, then you can go to Xiao Zhen, who is now temporarily sent by the prefect of Lingzun Yangzhou, and he will help you arrange it." Ye Qing said with a smile, as for Liu Minxue, the boss next to him who opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he just didn't see it.

After all, everything pays attention to a degree, pays attention to a sense of proportion, if all questions are answered by themselves, then their own appeasement envoy is not too faceless, and it has completely become an errand for the three of them.

So just when Ye Qing was about to leave, the boss Liu Minxing hurriedly said, "Lord Ye, please...... Please stay. ”

Ye Qing turned around, Liu Minxing subconsciously retreated back to the same place, thought for a while, and said, "This ...... The matter of the three Xiaguan brothers, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid that I still need to trouble Lord Ye to worry about it, because ...... Because the dispatch documents of Xiaguan and others are not on Huainan East Road, Xiaguan is in Chenzhou, the second brother is on Jinghu South Road, and the third brother is in Dali Temple...... No, no, no, if the three Xiaguan brothers want to follow the adults to serve in the Northland, they still hope that the adults will ...... My lord, let's see if you can plan for the lower officials. ”

In Liu Minxing's consciousness, Ye Qing has already done him a great favor, which can be said to be a great favor, not only sparing them from prison, but also allowing them to visit their father for the first time and hold a funeral for their father at home.

But at the moment, the stakes are also clear, after the matter is over, they can take their mother Huang to their respective places of send, but they will inevitably be suppressed by their colleagues and superiors, ridiculed and so on, at that time, no matter where they go, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold their heads up.

And if you follow Lord Ye's advice and become an official in the Northland, although it doesn't matter if they are bitter, but ...... How can we get the documents of the imperial court, Dali Temple, and Chenzhou and Jinghu South Road to agree to their transfer?

Just like in the previous life, what kind of things are the most human-eating, naturally promotion, transfer, and other things are the most human-eating things, after all, this can be regarded as one's own promotion step by step with the support of nobles.

Therefore, at this time, the three brothers were worried about how they could be sent to the north by the imperial court as officials, after all, if the imperial court did not agree, then they would be tantamount to distrusting the appeasement envoy in front of them.

But if they want to repay Lord Ye for helping their family and follow Lord Ye, then they have to trouble Lord Ye to help them again, and deal with their most troublesome and even helpless transfer to the dispatch clerk.

After all, if they relied on the three brothers alone, even when Liu Dexiu was alive, they couldn't do anything about such a thing.

And Lord Ye in front of him just smiled casually, and then said: "What is the big deal with my Dao, the matter of transferring to send clerks, if the three of you are willing, naturally you don't have to worry, the secretary of the ministry will not be embarrassed." By the way, if you agree, you don't have to go back, just stay here all the time, and someone will arrange other things for you after meeting Governor Xiao's mansion. ”

Hearing Shi Miyuan's name, the eldest and second eldest instantly looked at the third Liu Minwen, after all, the third is also a member of Dali Temple, and he should know some things about those high-ranking officials in Lin'an.

Ye Qing forgot to glance at Liu Minwen, then smiled and left Liu's mansion.

The third of the three Liu brothers who stayed behind suddenly became in a cold sweat at some point, with a dull expression and a pale face, standing there swallowing saliva from time to time.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Liu Minxue and Liu Minxing asked in unison.

Liu Minwen, the third brother who came back to his senses after a long while, looked dazed, looked at his brother with a hint of horror, swallowed his saliva again, and muttered: "Big brother, second brother...... I...... I know who Lord Ye is. ”

"Lord Ye?" The two brothers looked in the direction where Ye Qing had just disappeared, and then looked back at the third brother who was still a little frightened: "Lord Ye just left, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord Ye......." The third brother Liu Minwen looked at the eldest brother and the second brother, and then showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said in a trembling tone: "Lord Ye's name is Ye Qing, that is, ...... The commander of the Imperial City Division, and also served as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple for a period of time, and he will go to Beidi Fourth Road tomorrow, right? ”

"Ah, yes." After the second Liu Minxue heard the words of the commander of the Imperial City Division, he felt as if he had lost his breath all of a sudden, and his whole body stiffened, and he muttered and responded.

"That's right, Lord Ye who recovered the Fourth Road of the North Land is Lord Ye of the Imperial City Division, and he is also Lord Ye Qingye who is the privy envoy of the current imperial court and the envoy of the Fourth Road of the North Land that you just said." The third child once again showed a smile that was more ugly than crying at the second child.

As the third child, Liu Minwen, because of his relationship in Dali Temple, naturally knows more about Lin'an officialdom, the court, and the private affairs of officials than the other two, and even includes some secretive confidential things, such as Emperor Gaozong was in the Storm Pavilion of Dali Temple, and so on, Ye Qing, the commander of the Imperial City Division, who was covered in blood and killed a bloody road from the Xinwang Mansion, and so on.

"Lord Ye...... Is that Ye Qing of the Imperial City Division? The boss Liu Minxing's voice trembled a little, and his face was also so good that he couldn't see where to go, because he really couldn't associate Lord Ye, who had just talked with them with a kind attitude and easy-going temper, with Ye Qing, who appeared in some secret things in Lin'an that the third child told from time to time, as a person.

Ye Qing, the commander of the Imperial City Division, should have a gloomy and murderous face, how could it be...... Lord Ye is so easy-going!

"Could it be that the third child is mistaken?" The Boss asked again.

"I didn't miss out on my attitude towards Lord Ye just now, right?" The second child asked with a pale face.

"I didn't say anything unpleasant, did I?" The third brother looked at the eldest brother and the second brother.
