On the afternoon of July 7, the fifth year of Shaoxi, Lin'an City, which was originally quite calm on the surface, suddenly became a little solemn and nervous, with a large number of forbidden troops appearing in the streets and alleys of the city, as well as various changes in the front of the palace and the guard division, making Lin'an City instantly give people a feeling that they are about to usher in a storm.

The people in the city are as usual, and the restaurants, tea shops, and casinos are still the same, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, they are still keenly aware of the unusual and tense atmosphere in Lin'an City, with a hint of slaughter.

There is an endless stream of carriages and sedan chairs in front of Shi Miyuan's gate, and people in a hurry are going in and out of Shifu Gate.

The same is true at the gate of Yefu, from time to time someone will hurriedly flash into the door of the house, and then hurriedly leave the house and blend into the streets and alleys of Lin'an City.

As the current saint and the queen went to Gushan, and with many courtiers going with them, the rest of the officials in Lin'an City began to turn like parts of a machine on the afternoon of July 7.

The news that the Emperor Taishang will return to the palace tomorrow spread, so that a large number of forbidden troops, palace front divisions, and guard divisions suddenly and inexplicably appeared in Lin'an City, and a timely and reasonable explanation was obtained.

"Out of the dive and hidden, so it is said to "see the dragon", in the ground, so it is said to be "in the field". Deshi Zhoupu, the center is not biased, although it is not the monarch's position, the virtue of the king. At the beginning, it is not prominent, three is dry, four is jumping, and the upper is too excessive. Seeing the adults, there are only two or five things. Zhong Qing watched this sentence alone in the backyard study in a daze, and tomorrow is the eighth day of the seventh month: it is advisable to capture, build nets, bury, break ground, and bury, and avoid marrying and entering the house.

The Red Mansion knocked on the door in a panic, looked at Zhong Qing, who also looked solemn, and said with some apprehension: "Madam...... A lot of people have just been mobilized in the house, will something big happen? ”

Zhong Qing continued to look at the words on the table, shook her head silently, and said after a while: "Today and tomorrow...... Don't go anywhere in the house, just follow the master's orders. ”

Zhong Silkworm personally brought many soldiers back to the house, and these soldiers were also placed in all corners of the mansion under Zhong Silkworm's arrangement.

The Red Mansion looked at Zhong Qing, who was depressed, and also nodded silently, and then said I will go see the little master, and the Red Mansion turned around and gently closed the door of the study, leaving Zhong Qing alone to continue to be in a daze in the study.

In the study in the front yard of Ye Mansion, Ye Qing had just put away the government affairs documents about Beidi, and Zhong Silkworm hurriedly ran in: Jiahui Gate is the person of the Guard Division, Donghua Gate is the person of the Front Division of the Palace, and the rest of the palace gates are also guarded by the people of the Front Division of the Palace and the Guards Division, but it is not clear whether they are with the people of the Jiahui Gate and the Donghua Gate. Xu Han and Jia She's are still outside the city, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in for a while. ”

"Okay, I got it." Ye Qingmian sank into the water and nodded calmly.

"My lord, could it be...... Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan secretly teamed up? Zhong Silkworm asked with some concern, after all, after Ye Qing left Lin'an last time, Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan had seen their own people installed in the Guards Division and the Palace Front Division.

Wu Lie, the general of the Guards Division, Han Yanxuan's confidant and confidant, although he also followed Han Yanxuan to Chang'an, the north, but he has always had his real errand in the Guards Division, and now the Jiahui Gate is guarded by the Guards Division, which makes Zhong Silkworm have to suspect that it is Wu Hunt who led the Guards Division to get stuck here.

As for the soldiers guarding the front of the palace at the Donghua Gate, it should be from Shi Miyuan's henchman Xia Zhen, who is also the general of the front division of the palace, and is the same as the real difference, so he naturally has the right to lead the troops to guard the Donghua Gate at this time.

Ye Qing did not answer Zhong Silkworm's words, after all, at this time, it is a little too early to say who joins forces with whom, or rather, at this moment, whether it is him Ye Qing or Han Yanxuan, or Shi Miyuan, in fact, there is a possibility of joining forces with each other tomorrow, it all depends on who has more chips in their hands after tomorrow.

So nowadays, no matter who you are, you will be prepared with both hands, and you will never stick to a tree.

"Have you found Wu Gui and Lu Zhong, the commanders of the forbidden army?" Ye Qing raised his head and asked.

"The people of the Imperial City Division are looking for them, including Zuo Yu and Zuo Jiao, their cronies in the Guard Division and the Palace Front Division are all in contact, and they should be able to implement it before sunset." Zhong Silkworm nodded vigorously at Ye Qing and said.

"That's good. Tell Jia She...... If you enter the city tonight, you will go straight to Dali Temple, and the rest will not be bothered. Tell Xu Han that tonight he will lead 3,000 people out of the camp immediately and go to the official road of Shaoxing Mansion to Lin'an, and he must not be allowed to step into the range of Lin'an. Ye Qing held a brush in his hand and said solemnly with a frown.

"Yes, sir." Zhong Silkworm didn't ask the reason, in short, in his opinion, everything was done according to Ye Qing's instructions, and there would never be a mistake.

As Zhong Silkworm just left, Tao Qian, who was the head of the Ye Mansion and the porter, ran in in a hurry, and all of a sudden, his part-time porter suddenly became busy, and the people from the Imperial City Division came to him to report, and Zhong Cheng from the Third Aunt Tavern also came to report to him, in short, after all kinds of things were gathered, he also needed to pick out some important things and report to the real man in the study.

"It's only been an hour, I feel like my legs are running back and forth, it's really tiring to be the porter of your Ye Mansion." Tao Qian began to complain as soon as he came in.

Ye Qing rolled his eyelids and said lightly: "After so many years of pampering in my mansion, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this is just a busy hour, you can't stand it?" It seems that my Ye Mansion really raised you for nothing. ”

"Master Ye, can you be so mean when talking to the old man? Even if you are now ...... powerful. Tao Qian's eyes widened, he was obviously a eunuch, but he had to think of himself as an old man.

"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business." Ye Qing leaned back in the chair, since Tao Ruffian still had the heart to joke, it meant that he now had good news in his hand that could relax a little.

"First of all...... Mo Xiaobao holds the documents of the military department, has already taken charge of the Zhenjiang Jiangyin army, and is now on the official road to Lin'an in Jiaxing Mansion, if it is not expected, he will definitely be able to arrive before Li Yu's Sui'an army, so as not to let them get close to Lin'an. The Imperial City Division found out that Jiahuimen was guarded by Wu Lie, a close confidant of Han Yanxuan, and there would be no mistake. At the Donghua Gate is Shi Miyuan's confidant Xia Zhen, which is also certain. As for the closer He Ningmen and other places, the current guards and palace front divisions are still royal guards, and no one can mobilize them, but after the emperor returns to the palace tomorrow, whether he will listen to the emperor's dispatch is not clear. And if you want to enter the palace tomorrow, you can still come out unharmed, unless it is the army of the flower family who clearly takes Lin'an City, but in this way, your Ye Qing's crime of rebellion will be completely confirmed, and the people of Lin'an will drown you with spit. Tao Qian said lightly, as if Ye Qing's safety tomorrow had nothing to do with him at all.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was silent, Tao Qian, who walked to the front and back, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The current situation is still very unfavorable for you, the Emperor Taishang is really anxious, you want to move Han Yanxuan, you want to join forces with Shi Miyuan, but how can the Emperor Taishang let you get your wish?" Now it's okay, the Emperor Taishang directly gave you a chance to borrow strength, invite you into the urn, and don't give you a chance to continue to break the game, this is to directly put you to death. It's no wonder that since you took Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang to Dali Temple, Han Yanxuan didn't make any moves, it turned out that people had already been ready to wait for you to move first. ”

Ye Qing was still leaning on the back of the chair, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Tao Qian with a sad face, and helping himself analyze the current situation with some schadenfreude.

Indeed, as Tao Qian said, he is trying to find a way to break the situation and want to cause trouble, but whether it is Han Yanxuan or the Emperor, people are not stupid, they will just sit there stupidly, and watch you Ye Qing alone in Lin'an to solve the situation.

People will also take advantage of the situation and push the boat down the river to crack your actions in Lin'an, right?

Just like now, the Emperor Taishang took advantage of Ye Qing's strategy to bring disaster to the east, and proposed to summon you Ye Qing in the palace.

Didn't you Ye Qing dare to go out of Lin'an City, weren't you Ye Qing afraid of being surrounded in the Lonely Mountain? That's good, people took the initiative to come back to Lin'an to summon you, and no longer give you a chance to break the game, see how you can escape from not seeing the emperor and his old man.

is the so-called static braking, Ye Qing's actions in Lin'an are naturally a good way to break the situation, but it also gives the Emperor Zhao Yan an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that when you Ye Qing put his mind on the strategy of breaking the situation, he directly used your various actions to transfer the current saints and queens who are close to you Ye Qing, and even the people who may help Ye Qing including the leaders of the front of the palace and the commanders of the guards division, all of them took advantage of the fact that the saints and the queen went to the lonely mountain.

In this way, Lin'an City is no longer a fortress for Ye Qing, and because the Guards Division and the Palace Front Division also have Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan's people, coupled with a large number of forbidden troops in Lin'an City, even if Ye Qing has nearly 8,000 troops outside the city, he suddenly becomes a little useless.

After all, no matter how powerful and arrogant you Ye Qing are, do you really dare to lead your troops to attack Lin'ancheng?

What's more, if Ye Qing really made up his mind to attack Lin'an, then in the entire Song Dynasty, Ye Qing would have no place to stand, even if he wanted to escape from Lin'an back to his base camp in the north, but there were still Zhaoqing troops stationed in Shaoxing Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion, Sui'an Army, and Jiangyin Army in Zhenjiang Mansion, which had to pass through, waiting for him Ye Qing.

And as long as Ye Qing can't escape back to the north under the interception of the three-way army, then his charge of attacking Lin'an and wanting to rebel will immediately spread in all parts of the north in a short period of time, thus providing a legitimate opportunity for the imperial court to receive the northland.

In addition, Chang'an in the north now has the prestige Zhao Kai of Qingwang and Zhao Shichun, the Duke of Chongguo, who are in charge, so Ye Qing left Lin'an in the Holy and Empress Taishang, and the Emperor Taishang suddenly took the initiative to give in and wanted to summon him Ye Qing at the palace point, he suddenly fell into a completely passive desperate situation.

"What did I ignore to get the situation to this point?" Ye Qing rubbed his temples, and asked Tao Qiandao with a peaceful smile on his face.

"You didn't ignore anything, you were too underestimated by the enemy, and you underestimated the emperor, who was known for his indecision all his life, and also had a sharp and decisive side. As the saying goes: Kanglong has regrets, what does it mean? Zi said: Expensive but no position, high but no people, sages are under and no assistance, and there are regrets because of movement. Those who are arrogant in high positions will inevitably invite trouble, and they must know how to advance and retreat. But you Ye Qing...... For so many years, dealing with the Jin, Xia, Liao, and Mongols has been invincible, and having recovered such a large territory, it is inevitable that they will be arrogant and despise others. Alas...... Don't forget, whether it is the Jin people or the Xia people, even the Liao people and the Mongols, although the Song Dynasty is not an opponent when it comes to playing with swords and guns, if it is about playing intrigue and infighting, the Song court has never met an opponent from the royal family to various officials. Yue Fei's death, you have always been vigilant in your heart, and you have been avoiding repeating the mistakes of the past all the time, but in the end...... It seems that the Storm Pavilion has become a point general, and the loyal ministers and good generals will be unjustly killed after all. ”

Tao Qian sighed for a long time, and said with emotion: "Up to now, the old man is by no means a merciless person, Master Ye, if you want to explain the future, hurry up and explain, Madame, I will guarantee their safety, I have been in your Ye Mansion for many years, watching you rise step by step to today, and become a hero." Actually...... The old man has not eaten your Ye family's food for so many years in vain, and I have already settled the back road of the lady. It's because I know that sooner or later you will have such a day, although you will not die in battle because of the Xia, Jin, and Liao people, but you will die in the hands of your own people sooner or later, which is sad and lamentable. Why are you so conceited that you dare to return to Lin'an? And before you wanted to move Han Yanxuan, why didn't you think about it, the initiative is not actually in your hands, you have always been in the big prison of Lin'an, thinking hard about how to break the prison? Draw your own ground as a dungeon, now it's okay....... ”

"Things haven't come to that point yet, isn't the Imperial City Division still in my hands?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"How many people can there be in the Imperial City Division? How many people are there in the front of the palace and the guard department? And the forbidden army, even if they are vulnerable in your eyes, but...... But do you really dare to kill them all? Do you really dare to watch Lin'an City be bloody? Tao Qian asked with a sad face.

"So now, as long as the army of the flower growers can enter Lin'an City before I meet with the Emperor Taishang tomorrow......."

"So what? Donghua Gate and Jiahui Gate have been guarded by Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, do you really want to attack the palace by planting flowers? Are you going to rebel? Tao Qian stared at a pair of eyes, and said with some disbelief: "Okay, even if your flower planting army is a crack general, even if they can break through the Donghua Gate and Jiahui Gate guarded by Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan, but what next?" What are you going to do? Will there still be a place for you to stand in Lin'an City? How do you lead 8,000 men...... Oh, no, once you really fight with the people of the palace front division and the guard division, your 8,000 people will definitely be reduced, so what else do you use to resist the Zhaoqing army and the Sui'an army? Yes, although Mo Xiaobao is now in charge of the military power of the Jiangyin Army in Zhenjiang, once the news spreads that you broke Lin'an and attacked the palace to rebel, and the Jiangyin Army is not one of your henchmen in the north, how can they still help you Ye Qing rebel? In the end, they may fight back, and you won't be able to return to the Northlands. And even if you can return to the Northland in the end, what you need is to return to the Northland in the shortest possible time, once the speed of the imperial court is faster than yours, then everything will be in vain, right? ”

Ye Qing leaned on the back of the chair and couldn't help but snort, and then asked suspiciously, "Tao Qian, are you...... You can't be a lobbyist sent by the Emperor, right? Are you going to let me be caught? ”

"I ...... The old man is analyzing the stakes of the current situation with you! It's for Zhong Qing's sake and Xiao Zhong Ye, I don't want them to be implicated because of your affairs! Tao Qian glared and said, "So...... You just give me a word, I will take Zhong Qing and them to leave Lin'an secretly, do you agree? Of course, if you really win, I'll bring them back, and if you lose, then they won't be implicated because of you, right? At least you can survive, right? ”

"Do you have a way to take them out of Lin'an?" Ye Qing pondered.

"It's been a few years since I returned to Lin'an, and the only thing I Tao Qian did was not to be a porter or a coachman for your family, but I have been carefully operating this channel, and only I know about it is to deal with today's situation." Tao Qian patted his chest and said.

Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes and sighed, and after being silent for a moment, he said, "Okay, I agree." But...... You need to ask Zhong Qing for their opinions, if they are willing to ....... ”

"Don't worry, I won't force it, I'll take them away if they want to, if they don't...... The old man's life, even if it is handed over to you Ye Qing. Before the words fell, Tao Qianren had already walked out of the study.

Looking at Tao Qian's figure, the smile that had been left on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth gradually disappeared, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Tao Qian is not wrong at all, now he is indeed in a passive situation, Shi and Han's handles of Jiahuimen and Donghuamen today are completely beyond his expectations, and besides, the decisiveness of the Emperor Taishang is also beyond his expectations, so that he has so far, the eight thousand life talismans that he originally brought back are now dispensable.

Entering Lin'an City, it will not be much trouble to pass through the city gate guarded by the forbidden army, but how to break through the guards in front of Donghua Gate, Jiahui Gate, and the front of the palace is not an easy thing, and it is ...... At that time, it was estimated that he was already at the Dianjiangtai of the palace, and he could no longer effectively control the situation outside.

Put the place of death and then live, this sentence that is often on people's lips, in Ye Qing's mind, he can't think of a way to put the place of death and live after life.
