Chapter 367 The twilight of the monarch and the minister
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.
Zhao Gou's current mentality can be described as ruthless and timid, he can mercilessly get rid of a person he wants to get rid of, but he is extremely afraid that this person he wants to get rid of will bring danger to himself, endangering his majesty and the position of the emperor.
Therefore, after Zhao Gou became more gloomy and urban than when he was in power.
As he himself said, now that he has withdrawn from the court and occupied the temple to watch the wind direction, it is naturally much clearer than when he sat on the dragon chair and looked down.
All kinds of courtiers, loyal ministers with their own thoughts, whether they are people who advocate against Jin, people who advocate peace, or neutral courtiers who are wise and wise to protect themselves above the court, in fact, they all have their own careful thoughts and interests colluding with each other.
Zhao Gou may believe that among these people, no one will want to rebel, but when Miao Liu mutinied, there were already people who let themselves abdicate and make way for Xian, and now Zhao Yan is also quite popular in the court, although the Northern Expedition failed, but whether it is in the court or the people, he still has a very high reputation.
If someone takes the opportunity to cut off the connection between himself and the court at this time, so that he really no longer has anything to do with the court, so that he can no longer interfere in the political affairs of the court, then at that time, will he be like Qin Hui and be infamy?
This is obviously unacceptable to Zhao Gou, so he must take all the charges and so on from him, use Ye Qing's butcher's knife, and push them to others, so that others can become the scapegoats of his mastermind.
Tang Shuo did not resist with his strength, just at the crack of the back door of Yan Mansion, Yan Chengcheng was nervously about to suffocate and tightly grasped You'er's hand, looking at the blood light outside, the forbidden army of Tang Mansion suddenly retreated back.
After Ye Qing slowly stretched out the wooden box in Mo Xiaobao's hand, he also slowly retreated to both sides with the forbidden army in the Tang Mansion, and then took it back.
If it were possible, he would never want his first shot to be fired in the Tang Mansion in Lin'an City.
However, Tang Siwei is no matter what, but he is also a Song person, and his first shot should not be aimed at his own person to pull the trigger.
Mo Xiaobao watched Ye Qing slowly withdraw his arm, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, he had followed Ye Qing out of the city secretly three times, so he knew better than anyone how terrible Ye Qing's weapon called a gun was.
A watermelon that was 100 steps, even 200 steps, 300 steps, and 400 steps away could be easily hit by the gun in Ye Qing's hand at such a distance, which made Mo Xiaobao involuntarily touch his head when he saw it for the first time.
He didn't dare to imagine that if he wanted to kill someone with such a gun, would that person still have a chance to live!
Ye Qing walked towards the Tang Mansion, as the guards of the Imperial City Division began to surrender the weapons of the forbidden army, the Tang Mansion was instantly much cleaner, and when the last jailer entered the Tang Mansion, the gate was instantly closed again by Li San and Zhao Qi'er.
Leaving a pair of eyes in the dark, he began to nervously guess what would happen next in the soup house?
The knife in Tang Shuo's hand wanted to be raised when Ye Qing looked at him, but when Li Heng next to Ye Qing pulled out half of the Yanling knife in his hand, he slowly threw it to the ground.
"Where's Tang Xiang?" Ye Qing asked as he walked.
Tang Shuo followed Ye Qing without speaking, since the last time Ye Qing came to Tang Mansion at night, he basically knew the pattern of Tang Mansion well.
So even if Tang Shuo didn't say it, Ye Qing could know where Tang Siwei was now.
The noon sun made people's shadows very short, and Tang Siwei stood at the door with a smile on his face, watching Ye Qing and the others slowly walk over.
"The old man underestimated you, the Tang family has today's changes, all of which are due to you Ye Qing." Tang Siwei said with a smile.
"Boy, should Xie Tangxiang be open-minded at this moment? Or is it said that being a soup minister is a plea for the upper and lower Tang Mansion? Ye Qing waved his hand, and everyone, including Mo Xiaobao, stopped when Li Tang Si retreated a distance of more than twenty steps.
Tang Si retreated and said nothing, watching Ye Qing and Tang Shuo move forward together, his eyes always had a hint of smile, and there was no imaginary murderous and angry at all.
Still standing at the door with a smile, he looked at the sun above his head, looked at the shadow under his feet, shook his head and said: "The Emperor Taishang actually doesn't have to be in a hurry, the old man still has a few years to do, but ...... Obviously, I can't tolerate the old man. Please. ”
After finishing speaking, Tang Siwei took the lead in entering the main hall, and he didn't see if Ye Qing behind him would follow in.
However, when he sat down in the top position, Ye Qing had already sat down in his left hand position, and Tang Shuo was sitting on top of the guest seat.
"Those who can go have left, and those who can't have stayed here, so the old man replaces wine with tea, and I hope you can make it convenient for the old man." Tang Siwei personally poured tea for Ye Qing, Ye Qing was not polite, and after saying thank you, he went to the tip of his nose and smelled the faint fragrance of tea.
"Tang Xiang doesn't have to be polite, if the kid can do it, he will naturally not shirk it." Ye Qing said with a smile, watching Tang Si retreat and look at the teacup in his hand, and then took a sip with a relaxed expression, and then put it down.
"Sure enough, you are a hero and a young man, even Tang Hexi doesn't have the courage to do so, it's a pity...... You should have a great future. Tang Siwei also picked up the teacup and took a sip, which made Tang Shuo next to him suddenly feel extremely disappointed.
He also thought that his father would do tricks and feet in the tea, so after watching Ye Qing take a sip, he unconsciously felt a little happy in his heart, but when he saw Tang Siwei also take a sip, the snickering joy in his heart instantly fell again.
"What does Tang Xiang want the kid to do, you might as well say it bluntly." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"People are about to die, and their words are good, you must have heard this sentence, right? What happened to the old man now, can't you think of something? At that time, Qin Xiang and Emperor Taishang were pressured by the Jin people and had to execute Yue Fei on trumped-up charges, and the old man was also the person concerned, and now the Emperor Taishang acquiesced to the saint to rehabilitate Yue Fei at the beginning of the Zen throne, and deprived Qin Hui of everything during his lifetime, and now the old man ended up like this, which is just a repeat of Qin Xiang's results. Tang Si retreated.
"But Qin Hui died of illness, and you ...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard. When Qin Hui died of illness that year, the Emperor Taishang personally visited the house and personally ordered Shen Xuzhong to draft the book of Qin Hui's father and son. Qin Xi also sent Qin Xun, Lin Yifei, and Zheng Muran to meet with the Taiwanese officials Xu Xi and Zhang Fu to plan their own visits. On the second day, the imperial court crowned Qin Hui as the king of Jiankang County, entered Qin Xi as the young master, and gave Qin Hui the title of the king of the word Shen. And you and Xu Xi, one joined the military department and the other entered Dali Temple, and finally you became the right minister of the government and the opposition, and the right to know the Privy Council, and Xu Xi finally became the secretary of Dali Temple. Xu Xi was cut off by someone on a rainy night in Dawazi, and there was no corpse in his body. Ye Qing looked at Tang Siwei and said lightly.
"Your goal must be to be like Qin Hui, I hope that you can finally be crowned the king of one word by the imperial court, and Tang Hexi and Tang Siqing will naturally be able to take charge of the court together, right?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
"Then you haven't thought about it, if I play today, will it be your end tomorrow?" Tang Si turned the teacup in his hand and asked calmly.
Ye Qing also sighed slightly, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Didn't you also think back then, Qin Hui was treated well by the Emperor Taishang at the end of his life, and it would be your end?" But in the end, in the heart of the Emperor, it is obviously not the case, is it? So, time is also fate, things in the future are unpredictable, there are many changes in the middle, in fact, no one can say for sure, how they will die in the future, a dignified death, or a wrongful death, but speaking of which, it is just a death. ”
"So the old man really has no way out?" Tang Hexi continued to ask with a smile.
"Yes, that's just the way it is. Three, self-hanging, wine-giving and rib-pulling. Ye Qing's gaze gradually became solemn and said.
"The Emperor's orders?" Tang Siwei frowned and asked.
For the first time, Ye Qing also saw a trace of loneliness and loneliness from Tang Sihui's expression, as well as the indescribable feeling of the twilight of the hero.
"Not bad. When I went to Dali Temple two days ago, I guess Tang Siqing should know that I sat with the Emperor Taishang in the Fengbo Pavilion for less than a pillar of incense, right? Ye Qing turned his head to look at Tang Shuo and said in a deep voice.
"So what?" Tang Shuo snorted coldly.
Now that it has reached this point, he no longer has any extravagant desires and thoughts of survival in his heart, just as Tang Siwei said, the impeachment of Ye Qing by Yin Sui above the court is the first time to test the determination of the imperial court to the Tang family, and sure enough, the determination of the imperial court is very firm.
And when the gate in front of the Tang Mansion opened, the forbidden army confronted Ye Qing's Imperial City Division, which was Tang Siwei's second temptation and plea for the imperial court, and the imperial court did not send even one person over at the last moment.
Even the usual noisy streets have become extremely quiet, and it is obvious that with the siege of the Imperial City Division's guards, this piece of land has been completely abandoned by the imperial court.
Therefore, Tang Siwei no longer struggles meaninglessly, since the court has made up its mind, he has made the final battle and intercession above the court and at the door of the mansion, and the court is still unmoved, so for Tang Sihui, there is only one way to be tied.
has been an official for many years, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, even if a real high-ranking official like Tang Siwei has a complete falling out with the imperial court, when the ending is already doomed, he will not really be like Da Wazi, like the struggle between the party and the interests of the group.
"Wife and children, the emperor must have a will, right?" Tang Siwei instantly seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, and the wrinkles on his face were like magic, and when Ye Qing transferred from Tang Shuo's body to Tang Sihui's face again, he suddenly realized that the right phase of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him was just an old man in the twilight.
"I didn't mention it, but presumably what Tang Xiang said just now is to let me be able to open up on the Internet about this matter, right?" Ye Qing couldn't even bear to look at the sadness and loneliness in the wrinkles on Tang Sihui's face, which were as old as ruin.
"You killed Hexi, right?" Tang Si asked in a deep voice.
