Pondering people's hearts and human nature has always been the "traditional virtue" of the Chinese nation, compared with the straightforward character of other races, the Chinese nation is on the road of pondering people's hearts and human nature, and no one can catch up.

And Zhao Gou is even more clever in this, since he ascended the throne as the emperor, Zhao Gou's pondering of people's hearts and human nature has reached the point of perfection, but even so, in the past half a year, he has been pondering Ye Qing from time to time.

Ye Qing is different from others, this is undeniable to anyone, since the first time he saw Ye Qing, Zhao Gou knew it very well in his heart.

But what is the difference, Zhao Gou can't say it for a while, even since Ye Qing went to Huainan East Road, Zhao Gou thought that this was an excellent opportunity to see Ye Qing clearly, but for more than half a year, he still couldn't figure out Ye Qing's heart, let alone whether this Ye Qing had ambitions.

It was like a thick fog between him and Ye Qing, only hearing his voice and not seeing him, he knew that this person was real, but Zhao Gou always had a feeling that this person did not exist as if he was invisible.

People always have desires, as long as a person's desires are clear, then as an emperor, if you want to control a courtier, you will naturally be much more handy.

But like Ye Qing, who seems to care about everything, but can decisively let go of anything, Zhao Gou doesn't know what Ye Qing is pursuing.

But if Ye Qing just wants to live a life in a mess, eating and waiting for death, then it is obviously even more impossible, this person also has the same desire for power as hundreds of officials in the world, but ...... This person can afford to put it down.

In November of the thirteenth year of Chunxi, in Deshou Palace, Zhao Yan, who had already come for a full pillar of incense, sat silently on the side during the time when Zhao Gou was silent, waiting for Zhao Gou, who was still in deep thought, to speak.

Once people get older, especially after realizing that they are really old, then people will age faster and faster, and they will sigh more and more about the ruthlessness of the years.

In just half a year since Ye Qing went to Huainan East Road, Zhao Gou has already changed from a little energetic, old and strong at the beginning, to the appearance of an old dragon clock.

In half a year, Zhao Yan can clearly perceive that the father in front of him has aged a little faster in the past six months, and compared to the spirit of the past, it is like a different person.

Zhao Gou slowly opened his eyes as if he was a little tired, glanced at Zhao Yan next to him, nodded slightly, and closed his eyes again to continue to recuperate.

"How's Huainan East Road?" Zhao Gou nested in a thick blanket, enjoying the rare sunny road in Lin'an.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Gou, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said with a smile: "Father, although there are some twists and turns in Huainan East Road, but fortunately, Ye Qing understands the overall situation and does not make too much trouble with Ye Heng and Bai Bingzhong. But that's called Liu Keshi's career...... Presumably at Huainan East Road, it is the end. ”

"In this way, you really agree with Ye Qing's act of underestimating the scribes in the world?" Zhao Gou sighed slightly, didn't give Zhao Yan a chance to speak, and continued to say slowly: "Although Huainan East Road is as Ye Qing said, it is right to be appointed and dismissed depending on the situation, but after all, it is a mouse's eye, south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, there are four roads in the territory of the Song Dynasty, Lizhou Road, Jingnan South Road, and Huainan East and West Road. So you still have to think about it. ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law remember, this matter must be handled carefully." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

He opened his eyes again and glanced at Zhao Yan, who seemed to be dealing with himself, and then Zhao Gou slowly closed his eyes again, and the wrinkled corners of his eyes made his eyelids move from time to time, proving that Zhao Gou was not recuperating at this moment, but pondering things.

"After the first day, you might as well transfer Ye Qing back to Lin'an." Zhao Gou was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke again.

"Father...... This...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if that's the case....... Zhao Yan was taken aback, it is already November now, and it will be the first day in more than a month, if Ye Qing is transferred back at this time, not to mention what happens on Huainan East Road, it is not easy for the imperial court to find a suitable candidate immediately.

What's more, in Zhao Yan's heart, in the past half a year, Huainan East Road has not made the situation tense out of control because of Ye Qing's arrival, although he is at odds with Ye Heng and Bai Bingzhong, but officialdom is like this after all, if they work together, then the court should be worried.

Moreover, Zhao Yan did not have a good impression of Ye Heng, the defeat of Jiankang in the first battle completely made him lose interest in the Northern Expedition, and it also made the court sigh and sigh, and it was already extraordinarily generous to dismiss him and reappoint him in only three or five years.

If Ye Qing is recalled to Lin'an at this time, then Ye Heng's call to serve as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road will inevitably rise, and with Bai Bingzhong's words, Huainan East Road will be in real danger at that time.

"I'm afraid time is running out." Zhao Gou trembled the gray beard on his chin, stretched out his hand and shook it, "Do you remember what your father told you at the beginning?" Ye Qing can't stay. When his father pulled him up, he thought it was just an eagle dog of the Imperial City Division, but who would have thought that a small capital would have a day when he rose to the top. He knows too much, it's about the royal face, and it's really inappropriate to make eye contact with the golden man. ”

Zhao Yan frowned, looking at Zhao Gou, who was a little out of his word, it was he who asked Ye Qing to go to Huainan East Road at the beginning, and now it is he who wants to be recalled, Zhao Yan is a little puzzled, what does Zhao Gou mean by doing this.

But before he asked, Zhao Gou, who seemed to suddenly come and was interested in talking, said with a stronger spirit than just now: "He was sent because Wan Yan Jing, the current imperial grandson of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Jing has always regarded himself as a disciple of Ye Qing, and I also have plans to push Ye Qing to the Jin people." As long as Ye Qing really gets close to the Jin people and has a substantial move to invest in gold, then I can order Li Heng, the commander of the Imperial City Division, to let him and Ye Qing have a brother to kill each other, so that the Jin people will not succeed, and the royal family will not be implicated. After all...... Yue Pengju's death that year, the Zhao Song clan's crime of brutalizing Zhongliang, we can't get rid of it anymore, and the trumped-up charges can no longer be used, so I ...... like this. ”

"Then why didn't my father wait? If the relationship between Bai Bingzhong and Ye Heng deteriorates with him even more, will Ye Qing ....... Zhao Yan frowned and asked seriously.

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "No, because Jin Guo is also too busy to take care of himself now." Wan Yan Yong is like me, I'm afraid there is not much time, otherwise how could I set up Yan Jing as the emperor's grandson? I'm afraid that the crown prince of Jin Guo will not succeed to the throne one day. Wan Yan Jing...... I'm afraid it will be the next emperor of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"In this way, doesn't Wan Yan Jing want Ye Qing to invest in gold more than Wan Yan Yong?" Zhao Yan's heart moved.

"Yes, Jin Guoxu gave Ye Qing the position of Grand Master, I originally thought that these were enough to impress Ye Qing to make him invest in gold, but after all, he still underestimated Ye Qing, and he was still not moved. I have pondered people's hearts and human nature all my life, but I have forgotten the words of loyalty and patriotism, but how can Ye Qing be a pedantic person who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic? So I can't figure out what this Ye Qing wants to do! Zhao Gou said with some worry.

Like a couple who want to divorce, the husband wants to divorce for the sake of interests, and even finds a good candidate to seduce his wife, but who would have thought that the wife is unwilling to divorce, and the same is also determined to never go out of the wall, fight and scold and never leave, such loyalty, will naturally make the husband fall into inexplicability.

"Father, have you ever heard Ye Qing say a word on Huainan East Road?" Zhao Yan was a little melancholy in his heart, raised his head and sighed and looked at Zhao Gou, who was waiting for the following, and said with some heaviness: "Ye Qing once said that he was born as a minister of the Great Song Dynasty and died as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. From this point of view, this Ye Qing should be loyal to the Song Ting. ”

Zhao Gou shook his head with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and also sighed: "If it is said by others, I believe it, but from this Ye Qing's mouth, I will not believe a word." ”

Looking at the smile on the corner of Zhao Gou's mouth, Zhao Yan was shocked in his heart this time, and blurted out with a trace of shock on his face: "Father Emperor wants to recall Ye Qing on the Yuan Day, isn't it ......?" ”

"I can't leave you any more mess, and now in my heart, this is the only thing that makes me feel at ease. Think about it again, I plan to recall Zhao Xuan from Kuizhou Road, plus Li Heng, it must be enough. ”

"Father......." Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Gou, who had to kill Ye Qing, and stood up from the chair with a pout.

Zhao Gou stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and continued slowly: "I know that you value Ye Qing, and even hope that he can assist the prince in the future, but ...... This person is so deep in the city, even my father can't guess it clearly, in the past half a year, I have been wondering what kind of person this Ye Qing is, but until now, it is still a fog! I would rather believe in the loyalty of the money-greedy Shi Miyuan and the power-loving Han Yanxuan than believe that this Ye Qing will be a loyal courtier of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Gou faintly felt as if he had caught something, and after what he said just now, it seemed that he could finally see some of Ye Qing's key points, but when he looked back and thought about what he had just said, he could no longer grasp the thoughts that flashed at that moment.

Zhao Gou, who is already old, now has to serve the old, and after thinking about it for a long time, he has not been able to find the flash of inspiration in his heart, and then he sighed silently, as if he was complaining that what he said just now was too fast, and it was also like complaining that he was old after all, if he was a few years younger, maybe he would be able to hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Gou, who looked a little annoyed, closed his eyes again to recuperate, and was stunned for a while before saluting and leaving.

From beginning to end, Zhao Gou was closing his eyes to recuperate, even if Zhao Yan had left far away, Zhao Gou sat quietly in the hall as if he was asleep.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and after Wang Lun walked out, the old Zhao Gou opened his eyes again, and there was a trace of murderous aura hidden in his old and cloudy eyes, compared to the kindness when he talked to Zhao Yan just now, he looked like a murderous person at this moment: "Tell Li Heng to start preparing, before Zhao Xuan comes back, try to be familiar with every grass and tree in the Xinwang Mansion as much as possible, and I will never allow a mistake this time!" Even if it was a fly, I would never want to see it escape from the palace. ”

"Yes, the Emperor." Wang Lun replied in a calm tone, and then walked out of Deokshou Palace with his head down.
