Zhongshan is also named Purple Mountain because there are purple clouds lingering on the top of the mountain, Zhongshan and Houhu Lake depend on each other, so that Jiankang City is born in shape, the dragon and the tiger are in place, and the mountains and rivers and cities and forests are integrated, which can be described as the Zhong Cui of Jiankang landscape and humanities. Therefore, Zhuge Wolong said that "Zhongshan Longpan, stone tiger, this emperor's house is also" praise.

Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu easily climbed to the top of the mountain, overlooking Lin'an City in the distance, and they were quite high-spirited with each other for a while.

"Wu Hunting, prepare wine." Han Yanxuan instructed the generals who followed behind.

As Wu Lie was busy with the rest of his subordinates in the nearby Lang Pavilion, Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu continued to look at the Jiankang City under the mountain, which seemed to be a quiet and peaceful city, and at this time, in their eyes, there was a sense of suffocation that was about to come.

"Who do you think would have done it?" Zhao Ruyu faced the cold mountain wind, and said with some pride in his chest.

Han Yanxuan smiled, then inhaled the mountain breeze and tightened the fur on his body: "It's nothing more than Shi Miyuan, this kind of little trick, only Shi Miyuan thinks he is playing without knowing it." ”

The two looked at the corridor pavilion had been arranged, and it was winter now, even Zhongshan, which has the reputation of "Jinling Yuxiu" and was praised by one of the four famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, there were not many tourists at this time, so the top of the mountain seemed extremely clean.

A glass of liquor went down his stomach, driving away the chill in his body, Han Yanxuan rubbed his cheeks, which were still a little stiff, and then continued: "Shi Miyuan didn't want to see Jiankang City so harmonious, so he killed those officials and wanted to add fuel to the fire. ”

"Shi Mi is far away." Zhao Ruyu agreed.

"The more mixed the water, the more his Shi family can take advantage of it, if we have been allowed to be so stiff, and Ye Qing does not show up, I don't know how long this matter will be delayed. But King Shin is inevitably a little too heavy, so you still have to be careful. Han Yanxuan appropriately reminded Zhao Ruyu and said.

Zhao Ruyu smiled somewhat conceitedly and said, "What else can he rely on to turn over now?" Is it just one Jiankang prefect Li Mengjian? If the prefect does not have the position of appeasement envoy, he is just an official errand, and the power in the hands of a general judge is much greater than that of a prefect. ”

Han Yanxuan nodded, he naturally agreed with this, which was also the reason why Jiankang officialdom was interlocking and complicated before.

The rights of the prefect alone cannot set off much wind and waves in Jiankang, nor does it have much impact.

Therefore, King Xin also has his unique use of people, knowing that he could not let Li Mengjian in Jiankang, the prefect and the pacification envoy have both, so he used the Zhong family's influence and prestige in Jiankang to get a general sentence that is comparable to the prefect's position.

In this way, even if the prefect cannot be allowed to have the right to be the prefect and pacify the envoy, at least it will not be too unbalanced in the Jiankang officialdom, which can be regarded as balancing the distribution of power between them and the Han family in the Jiankang officialdom.

And only the historian who only makes money and doesn't care about things is at a disadvantage between the three, so now Shi Miyuan is taking advantage of this royal strife between Zhao Ruyu and King Xin, he must want to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie, so as to steadily expand their power in Jiankang.

Han Yanxuan first nodded in agreement with Zhao Ruyu's statement, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly shook his head in the middle, which made Zhao Ruyu a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "What, what else are you worried about?" ”

"Shi Miyuan wants to fish in troubled waters and profit from chaos, but he is not afraid in Jiankang, but he ......." Han Yanxuan looked at Zhao Ruyu against the mountain wind, and his angular face became more and more solemn: "Ye Qing has become the winner of Jiankang City, if King Xin gets Ye Qing's help, things will not be so optimistic." ”

"Ye Qing?" Zhao Ruyu's wine glass on the side of his mouth stopped, looked at Han Yanxuan, who still looked solemn, and was stunned for a moment: "Will he join forces to believe in the king?" How is this possible? There was a ...... between him and the king of faith. ”

"There are no eternal enemies above the court, only eternal interests. If Ye Qing had no intention, why didn't he show up until now, not only did he not show up, but even the one in Jiankang Mansion School, we still don't know where it is sacred! Doesn't that tell the story? Han Yanxuan's expression was gloomy, and his thick eyebrows furrowed.

Looking at Zhao Ruyu, who was shocked by his words and didn't speak, Han Yanxuan continued: "Do you remember what I told you when we first arrived in Jiankang? ”

"Who is Jiankang Academy?" Zhao Ruyu said with some hindsight.

"I'm talking about that day in Lin'an, you introduced Zhao Shicheng, prestige Zhao Kai and Ye Qing to get acquainted, how can Ye Qing not see through your little trick? How could he not know that you were obviously introducing royal nobles to him, but in fact you were demonstrating and putting pressure on him? Even if he didn't react at the time, could it be that he couldn't react to the situation now? Han Yanxuan looked at the stunned Zhao Ruyu and continued to analyze: "But now Ye Qing has been pretending to be a turtle with a shrunken head and not showing up, this is ...... Doesn't that tell the story that the situation is changing? ”

Zhao Ruyu, who originally had a straight waist, suddenly weakened his waist, as if he was paralyzed on a chair, and muttered: "Isn't that ...... Isn't that what I've been planning all these years in vain? I, Zhao Ru, have endured humiliation and humiliation in Chengdu Mansion for many years, for this day, is it ...... Is it because of Ye Qing that he has to give up his previous efforts? This...... How is this possible! ”

Looking at himself talking, his expression gradually became hideous, and Zhao Ruyu, who was completely different from the fat and grinning Zhao Ruyu on weekdays, Han Yanxuan was still unmoved, his expression was still solemn and shook his head and said: "So our top priority is to find out who is in charge of Jiankang Academy, or is someone playing tricks." In this way, we can seize the great opportunity. ”

Zhao Ruyu looked at Han Yanxuan with a solemn expression, his hideous face suddenly laughed, the smile on his face was indescribably weird, just like Han Yanxuan, he shook his head and said: "No, no matter who is in charge of Jiankang Academy, no matter who stands in front of me, I will not let my hard work for so many years go to waste, I have spent many years designing the current situation, the time and place are favorable, I don't account for three or two, can't I win him Zhao Xuan?" How did my wife die back then, I must let Zhao Xuan see with his own eyes how his princess died in front of his eyes. ”

"Fortunately, Zhong Lin still recognizes you as a son-in-law, the fall of the Zhong family is a foregone conclusion, but it's a pity that we can't do anything to Zhao Xuan." Han Yanxuan came from the army, but this person has the meticulousness and city government that is not inferior to Wenchen, and he does not lack the decisiveness and ruthlessness of a military general.

So his words, to Zhao Ruyu's ears, were like setting the tone, since Han Yanxuan said that the fall of the Zhong family was a foregone conclusion, then the Zhong family would never survive the Yuan Day with the prestige of the past.

In Ye Qing's opinion, Han Yanxuan should have been greatly affected by Yue Fei's murder, so his behavior above the court has always been both good and evil, but he has not lost his principles and ideals.

Naturally, this person's life is also full of controversy, that is, he is a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is also an anti-gold hero of the Great Song Dynasty, and the appearance of both in one person's body at the same time is enough to show that this person is dissatisfied with the court, as well as this person's ambitions and ambitions.

When Ye Qing did not have contact with Xin Qiji, he once compared Xin Qiji with Han Yanxuan, but when he drank with Xin Qiji several times, Xin Qiji's courage and courage, and the pedantry in the literati's bones would gradually emerge.

Of course, there is also because of Xin Qiji's identity as a reformed person, coupled with no foundation and background to speak of, so it is understandable that he has no ambition in the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty.

And now, Xin Qiji is a soldier in the military department, when Ye Qing set off from Lin'an, he thought about winning over Xin Qiji, but he was worried about the ordinary ethics of the monarch and the father and son in Xin Qiji's bones, so he didn't dare to bring Xin Qiji over.

Wu Juan drove the carriage and put Ye Qing at the door of Tao Qian's mansion in Wuyi Lane again, and after looking at the fairly clean street, he said: "Mo Xiaobao will arrive in a while, there is no document from the military department, Wu Gong will never help us, but it is not a big problem to turn a blind eye." ”

"Then let Lin Guangchao stand by, the Nankang Army is not the focus, the focus is on ......." Ye Qing took a deep breath, and then said a little heavily: "It's Han Yanxuan." ”

"Understood, I'll go." Wu Juan nodded, and then drove the carriage away quickly.

Ye Qing, who turned around and walked up the steps, didn't even save hitting the door, and pushed the door directly.

Tao Qian, who had been acting as a corner of the porter for several days, saw Ye Qing coming in, and immediately stared at Ye Qing with round eyes and counted Ye Qing.

Ye Qing seemed to be a huge fly barking, and asked as he walked inside, "Is someone waiting for me?" ”

"This is not your Imperial City Division's yamen, when are you leaving?" Tao Qian didn't answer, and asked.

Ye Qing stopped, looked up and down at Tao Qian, who was like a teapot, shook his head and said, "Look at you, it's still a little ...... For the old disrespect, pay attention to the image, and be regarded as the elite of the Imperial City Division. ”

"I, if I were an elite, I would be so calculated by you, and I would be dragged into the water by you?" Tao Qian continued to cross his waist to seek justice, but when Ye Qing looked at him with squinted eyes, the man immediately changed his words and said: "Okay, there is a woman looking for you, and she is very beautiful, you kid is not shallow." ”

"If you think I've lived too long and want me to die, you can arrange it like this." Ye Qing snorted and walked towards the house that Tao Qian pointed to.

"Huh? So who is she? How did she know about this? Will something happen, Jiankang is not peaceful now. Tao Qian followed behind Ye Qing and kept asking.

Ye Qing stopped and turned around, looked at Tao Qian, and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to know?" ”

Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, but curiosity still drove him to nod his head constantly, and his mouth kept mummmmmmmm

"Okay, I'll tell you." A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, and he said in a low voice: "The woman inside is an official eunuch woman who redeemed herself as a concubine in the Qinglou when I was in Lanzhou, Xia Kingdom, when I was visiting the kiln with Han Yanxuan in Lanzhou, Xia Kingdom, her name is Liang Yan, and her father is buried by Yin Liang Yi of Lanzhou Mansion, but unfortunately she died." ”

She ...... You....... Tao Qian looked at Ye Qing in disbelief, at this moment, Tao Qian, who was stunned by shock, didn't feel that he was being calculated by Ye Qing because he was careless.

After all, if it is really as Ye Qing said, the woman in the room is Han Yanxuan's concubine, but she appears here at this moment, what does this mean?

Just after Ye Qing walked into the room, Tao Qian, who was stunned in place, vaguely heard a sentence coming from the room: "Who in the clouds sends the brocade book, when the word goose returns, the moon is full in the west building." ”
