Chapter 724: Joining forces
It's rare to be able to enjoy the blessings of Qi people again, but the night of romance did not make Ye Qing forget his business.
The weather in August and September was unusually hot and humid, even in the early morning, the thin dampness in the air was filled with a disturbing heat, and the two girls who got up early in the hall did not know what they were talking to the only maid in the house, and a dazzling invitation was placed there on the table.
Seeing Ye Qing walk in, the two girls still couldn't help but bow their heads slightly because of the absurdity of last night, and a touch of shyness and charm flashed on their beautiful cheeks.
"A post handed over by someone from the Shi family in the morning." Bai Chun said softly.
However, Ye Qing was already accustomed to Bai Chun with such a temperament, and after nodding, he picked up the invitation card on the table, which turned out to be written by Shi Miyuan himself, and the content was very simple, asking him to go to the West Lake Painting Boat to reminisce about the past.
After reading it, Ye Qing handed the invitation to Bai Chun and Zhong Qing, and smiled kindly at the Red Mansion who put down the teacup, looking at the way the Red Mansion lowered his head and turned around, Ye Qing involuntarily appeared in his mind the figure of those cardamom women in the Yongjin Building yesterday.
"How many years have you been at Tonghuifang?" Ye Qing suddenly asked at the Red Mansion, and Bai Chun and Zhong Qing, who were originally whispering to the invitation on the side, stopped talking in an instant, and quickly shifted their attention to Ye Qing and the Red Mansion.
"It's been ten years, Childe." Red Mansion was stunned for a moment, but still replied.
With the words of the Red Mansion, Ye Qing let out a long sigh, as if it was difficult to choose, after a pause, he smiled bitterly, and then said: "If you don't dislike it, move to the second floor today, after all, the first floor is to house maids and subordinates, and you can't let you live on the first floor as a maid and subordinate just because there are no maids and subordinates in the house." ”
"Childe ......." The red mansion raised his head, his eyes were full of doubts and disbelief, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
And Bai Chun and Zhong Qing on the side were also stunned in place, I don't know what happened to Ye Daguan today, is it because he was too tired and tired last night, or because the two of them didn't serve him well last night, so Ye Daguan, who would rather watch people get old than accept them in the room, intends to warn the two of them with this?
"When you entered Zhonghefang, you were only sixteen years old, plus two years in Zhonghefang, and ten years in Tonghuifang, now you are twenty-eight, twenty-eight years old, and you are still in the house at twenty-eight...... This woman has been in her life for a few more than twelve years, and you know the things in the house, and you also know my affairs and character, so if you don't dislike it...... Only...... From now on, I'll be worthy of their sisters. Ye Qing stammered a little.
Originally, he wanted to take out the majesty of the head of the family, and decided the matter, but Yu Guang looked at Bai Chun and Zhong Qing, who were listening quietly, and after opening his mouth, he began to mumble in his heart, so in the end, the tone that should have made up his mind finally became the tone of discussion.
"Childe is pitiful to the Red Mansion, so he pips on the Red Mansion?" The Red Mansion is very screwed, and even now, she still calls Ye Qing as her son.
Looking at the crystal overflow in the eyes of the Red Mansion, and then slowly dripping down the white cheeks, Ye Qing regretted that his decision was too hasty, maybe he should pick an auspicious day to talk to the Red Mansion alone.
Of course, he didn't know in his heart that now he really likes the Red Mansion, or is he more romantic, or, as the Red Mansion said, it is precisely because he went to the Yongjin Mansion yesterday and saw those cardamom women who can't stand the flow of time, so he feels sorry for the Red Mansion?
"This ...... Of course not, you don't lack arms or legs, I pity you for what you do. Ye Qing squeaked and said, his eyes began to ask Zhong Qing and Bai Chun for help, but Bai Chun and Zhong Qing were as if they were blind, and they made it clear that they would continue to watch the show if they didn't help.
Ye Qing here is still worried about family affairs, and Shi Miyuan, who handed him an invitation on the other side, refused Wang Huai's invitation to go to the mansion at this time, and continued to discuss with Shi Hao, whether to join forces with Ye Qing, if it is with Ye Qing, then the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Ye Qing is like Shi Miyuan and Shi Hao's nemesis, whether it is Shi Hao or Shi Miyuan, it can be said that he has suffered the most in Ye Qing's hands
And there is no way to take Ye Qing at all.
The three murderers of Simu have gone, and the dead Zhao Shu, Liang Chengda, and Li Zhixiao, including the death of Hong Zun, who is under their Shi family, all have a great relationship with Ye Qing, but Shi Miyuan has no handle at all, and it can be proved that the death of these people was done by Ye Qing.
Especially the deaths of Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun, which made Shi Miyuan hate Ye Qing in his heart, and even wanted to crush Ye Qing's bones to ashes.
knew that the death of the two was absolutely inseparable from Ye Qing, but he just couldn't find even the slightest evidence.
"Are you still unwilling to the deaths of Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun?" Shi Hao's old eyes swept over Shi Miyuan and asked.
"Sun Er is sure that the death of Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun was definitely done by him Ye Qing, this is him clearing dissidents!" Shi Miyuan gritted his teeth.
Shi Hao sighed slightly, looked at the flowers blooming in the garden with cloudy eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "If you really have plans to join forces with Ye Qing, then ...... It's time to let go of these preconceptions. In Ye Qing's recital to the imperial court, he said that the two were ...... because they were secretly attacked by the Jin people when they were stationed in the camp. ”
"Grandfather, do you also believe in Ye Qing's recital to the imperial court?" Shi Miyuan asked with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"What if you don't believe, what if you believe?" Shi Hao's gaze continued to swim with the flower-piercing butterfly in front of him, and continued: "This is exactly what Ye Qing is clever about, and naturally he can also see from it that Ye Qing is a handsome talent who can fight habitually!" ”
"How so?" Shi Miyuan asked unconvinced.
Shi Hao shook his head and smiled, and said: "Last year, Ye Qing fought with Wanyan Shoudao, and finally it became three battlefields of different sizes, and in the end, Ye Qing was forced to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so that he could be regarded as completely defeating the Jin soldiers. What does this mean? It shows that he has no chance to kill Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun, because he himself has personally gone into battle to kill the enemy, how can there be extra troops to take the opportunity to return to the camp to kill Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun? And Wanyan Shoudao...... It was also true that they attacked Ye Qing's camp, thus opening up a small battlefield among the three battlefields nearby, and in the recitals of Hong Zun and Li Zhixiao, it was also mentioned that they were stationed in the camp, so ...... It is completely reasonable to be killed by Wanyan Shoudao's sneak attack, how can you pursue and impeach him for the crime of indiscriminately killing his colleagues? ”
"But now ......." Shi Miyuan sighed a little unwillingly, and then said: "This breath is really difficult for grandchildren to swallow, and ...... Wang Huai just sent someone to find his grandson to discuss the matter, which was to mention his plan to impeach Ye Qing for murdering his colleagues Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun in the court. So for now...... Sun Er is indeed a little difficult to choose, whether to leave Wang Huai aside and join forces with Ye Qing, a guy with wolf ambitions. ”
Old Shi Hao showed a rare and comfortable smile on his face, and said with a smile: "This shows that Wang Huai is now aware of the crisis he has in the court and the situation that is not favorable to him, so he will try his best to win you over and throw you a bait that makes it difficult for you to choose." But don't forget, since Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, Wang Huaike has let Ye Qing listen to him once in the Northern Expedition? Obviously, Wang Huai failed to form even the slightest deterrent to Ye Qing like the Emperor Taishang back then, and even did not advance but retreated, in order to stop Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, you cut off his grain and grass, but still failed to stop Ye Qing's Northern Expedition. As a result, the relationship between Ye Qing and Wang Huai took a sharp turn for the worse and ended up. Now the situation is stronger than people, and the court will eventually change with the succession of the crown prince, so now it is no longer his Wang Huai's court, Wang Huai is just dying, after all, he still has to go to the twilight and make way for others. So this is your chance to really gain a foothold in the court, not to squeeze out Ye Qing again with Wang Huai, after all...... Ye Qing is also deeply respected and trusted by the prince. ”
After all, Han Cheng is much younger than Wang Huai, and he has the relationship between the royal relatives and the queen mother, although he has been suppressed and suppressed by Wang Huai for several years, but now with the succession of the crown prince, Han Cheng, the right minister, must launch a Jedi counterattack above the court, causing Wang Huai to die and be in a desperate situation.
What's more, now, there is also Zhao Ruyu, a clan who has won the trust and reuse of the royal family, and supports the succession of the crown prince, is eyeing him from the side, so Wang Huai's ending is already a danger that seems to be visible to the naked eye.
Among the courtiers of the new generation, only he Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and Ye Qing are the best among the three of them, so in the eyes of other courtiers
, In time, the left and right ministers of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be decided between the three of them after Han Cheng and Zhao Ruyu.
Now that he is the secretary of the ministry, with the crown prince succeeding to the throne, what he has to do is to continue to focus on cultivating his own henchmen, and Han Yanxuan because of his father Han Cheng, will inevitably attract a group of henchmen belonging to their Han family above the court.
Only Ye Qing, although he is deeply valued by the prince, but until now, in addition to serving as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, he has not served as any other dispatch above the Lin'an court, and his seniority and age will inevitably be attacked and criticized by others.
With the death of the Emperor Taishang, the filial piety of the Holy Emperor was completely placed on the body of the Queen Mother, which also made the words of the Queen Mother highly valued by the Holy Mother, which also benefited Han Cheng and his son, and the power above the court will only grow stronger in the future. On the other hand, you and Ye Qing, you are relying on the Emperor Taishang's legacy to my grandfather and me: worthy of enjoying the temple, which makes the saint favor and pay special attention to our historians, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and it is not the opponent of Han Cheng's father and son. And although Ye Qing has the trust and respect of the crown prince, in the final analysis, he is also a foreign minister, and no one knows how long his favor will last after the crown prince succeeds to the throne. So right now, while Ye Qing still has grace, you can only join forces with him Ye Qing to show weakness to the enemy, so that you can keep your place in the court now, and finally take advantage of his unpreparedness and wait for the opportunity to move. Shi Hao's eyes looked extraordinarily wise and firm at the moment.
"Is Wang Huai really gone? Is it difficult to recover the decline? Shi Miyuan still asked a little tangled.
After all, in the past two years, he and Wang Huai conspired to appoint and dismiss officials in the DPRK and China, but he made a lot of money, and now he wants to give up all of them at once, and there is still a lot of reluctance in his heart.
"Think about Tang Siwei at the beginning, and then look at Wang Huai today, how similar is the situation? Including my grandfather, why did I resign and retire ....... Shi Hao sighed, back then, he was not pulled off the horse by Tang Sihui, and in the end, because of the importance that Emperor Zhao Gou attached to Tang Sihui, he didn't even have a chance to return to the court.
If it weren't for Zhao Gou's balancing skills, coupled with Shi Miyuan's sudden rise, perhaps after Tang Siwei's death, he Shi Hao would have taken the opportunity to return to the court, instead of letting Wei Qi serve as the right minister for a few years, and finally achieve nothing.
Shi Miyuan opened his mouth, and wanted to ask Shi Hao why he resigned and retired back then, and his father's affairs, but looking at Shi Hao, who was lonely for a moment, Shi Miyuan changed his words and asked: "If your grandson follows your grandfather's teachings, wouldn't it be ...... Do you want to betray Wang Huai? And...... With Ye Qing's city mansion, and now the grievances between him and Wang Huai, he is now in charge of the Imperial City Division, I am afraid that it will be ....... ”
"Why not give him one? It's better to kill people with a knife than to do it yourself, and use Ye Qing's hand to bring down Wang Huai'....... Shi Hao said calmly.
"But in this way, will it harm the grandson, after all, the filial piety of this official is ......." Shi Miyuan said worriedly.
"Ye Qing is a smart person, he knows what to do. Let alone...... Which of the officials in the DPRK and China relied on the money to support his family? Which one has not taken bribes? If the Holy One trusts you, even if you accept bribes from all over the world, no one will impeach you, and if the Holy One is too lazy to pay attention to you, even if you are honest and honest, then what? Shi Hao glanced at Shi Miyuan and said: "It's just a means for officials to eliminate dissidents and form factions, when is it a crime?" ”
Shi Miyuan pondered Shi Hao's words, and then said solemnly: "Grandson understands, grandson knows what to do." ”
"Han Yan is so happy, but Ye Qing is just the opposite, so today you hand over the invitation to these two people, it is enough to remember what your purpose is, as for what will happen between the two of them, I believe that Ye Qing can see the situation clearly, and then choose who to join forces with." Shi Hao continued to tell Shi Miyuan, who was about to go out.
rejected Wang Huai's invitation, and turned around and handed invitations to Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, which shows that Shi Miyuan is now determined to draw a clear line with Wang Huai, which makes Ye Qing realize that Shi Miyuan is more important to him now.
Similarly, Han Yanxuan, who had just returned to the Han Mansion, held the invitation written by Shi Miyuan himself, and after meeting Han Cheng in a hurry, he began to prepare to go to West Lake and talk to Shi Miyuan.
