In Jinan Mansion, the house where Wanyan Yongji, King Weishao of the Jin Kingdom, was originally intended to be Ye Qing's temporary residence after arriving in Jinan, but with the arrival of the Jin envoys, especially when he learned that among the Jin envoys headed by Li Xiang, there was still a delicate envoy, so he had to use the house left by Wanyan Yongji as a post house for the Jin envoys, and the post house originally prepared for the Jin envoys became Ye Qing's temporary residence after arriving in Jinan.

As soon as Yang Huaizhi and Chen Cishan walked into the government office, they saw Xin Qiji, who was frowning, and walked into the meeting hall with light steps, but it still alarmed Xin Qiji, who was contemplative, looked up at the two of them.

"Is there any news about Lord Ye's itinerary in the past two days?" Xin Qiji didn't wait for the two of them to sit down, and then asked out loud.

Chen Cishan and Yang Huaizhi glanced at each other, and then shook their heads together: "No, I just sent someone to ask, and there has been no news of the adult's itinerary in the past two days." However, judging from the previous itinerary, Lord Ye should be ...... now. ”

Chen Cishan stopped talking at the right time, in fact, the three of them all knew that Ye Qing's itinerary now, if it was calculated according to the previous speed, then Ye Qing at this moment should be in Qufu.

And Qufu is the place where the three of them are most reluctant to let Ye Qing go, and they are even more reluctant to let Ye Qing meet Zhu Xi, so they are coerced by those literati.

Whether it is Xin Qiji, Chen Cishan, or Yang Huaizhi, they can confidently refuse the repair of the Confucian Temple proposed by Zhu Xi and others, and Ye Qing, who is the envoy of the Northern Land Festival and the first person in the Northland, will not be able to refuse recklessly like the three of them, after all, if this matter falls on Ye Qing, then a small repair of the Confucian Temple will become a large or small event in the North, involving a wide range of events, and if it is not done well, it is likely to shake the people's hearts and officialdom in the Northland, which has just stabilized.

"The Jin people are urging again, the lower officials have just come over from there, and Li Xiang is asking again, when will Lord Ye be able to arrive in Jinan Mansion, they have been staying here for more than half a month, but they haven't even seen the shadow of Lord Ye, and they have begun to doubt whether we have the sincerity to negotiate a truce." Yang Huaizhi smiled bitterly and said.

"Did the nobles inside speak?" Xin Qiji's thin cheeks were quite solemn, but he still said with relief: "If the one in the avant-garde Shaowang Mansion didn't speak, then don't pay attention to it, the peace truce is just a nice word, and now they have withdrawn all the coastal forces, and it seems that they have shown the greatest sincerity, but who knows if there will be troops immediately dispatched as soon as peace is discussed here?" Look at the two of you, this is what Dong Chao just sent over. ”

After finishing speaking, Xin Qiji handed the letter placed on the table to Yang Huaizhi, and then said: "King Wei Shao finished Yan Yongji and went to Wuzhou for no reason, but Jin Ting sent Li Xiang here to negotiate peace. ”

"Yes, Wanyan Yongji is very familiar with Jinan Mansion, and he is an old acquaintance with Lord Ye, and his personal relationship can also be called not bad. Therefore, if Wan Yan Jing really intends to negotiate peace with us, it is obvious that Wan Yan Yongji is the best candidate, but Wan Yan Jing sent Wan Yan Yongji to Wuzhou at this time, and sent Li Xiang, an official who was said to have been unhappy with adults in Jingzhao Mansion last year, to negotiate peace. After Yang Huaizhi finished reading it, he handed it to Chen Cishan, and then said with Xin Qiji's analysis.

"Yes, so what will be the purpose of their trip to Jinan Mansion? And he also made it clear that he would only talk to Lord Ye, and even I, the appeasement envoy, were not qualified. Xin Qiji frowned and thought: "A few days ago, I invited Li Xiang and other Jin envoys to a banquet, and I wanted to see if I could find out something from the conversation, but Li Xiang was extremely vigilant, as long as he talked about peace and matter

, shut up immediately, or change the subject. ”

"If it is as expected, it is very likely that Lord Ye has delayed his trip in Qufu now. But no matter what, we should try our best to find out the true intention of the Jin people to come to negotiate peace this time, and try not to let Lord Ye be caught off guard by the Jin people after arriving in Jinan Mansion. After reading the letter, Chen Cishan handed the letter to Xin Qiji again and said.

Xin Qiji nodded silently in agreement with Yang Huaizhi, and then Xin Qiji seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked: "In the Jin envoy group, the so-called mysterious nobleman, can he find out his identity?" ”

"Nope." Chen Cishan shook his head and said: "The post house is extremely tightly guarded, that is, even the cooks, sprinklers and maids inside, etc., are brought by the Jin people themselves, and our people have no way to get close at all, it is said that even if Li Xiang wants to go in, he has to stand at the door and say a word first, and he can only go in if he agrees." ”

"Could it be Wan Yan Jing?" Xin Qiji's sunken eye sockets were full of doubts, and it was precisely because the number of the Jin delegation had reached hundreds this time, and they were all serving the mysterious nobleman with extreme caution and caution, so he let him use the original mansion of King Wei Shao as a post house for the Jin mission.

But for more than half a month, let alone seeing the true face of the so-called nobleman, I don't even know whether the person is a man or a woman, since I came to Jinan, I have also walked out of Weishao's palace, but no matter where I go along the way, where I go in Jinan Mansion, or go out of the city to relax, the carriage that is so luxurious that Xin Qiji is dumbfounded has always been tightly sealed, and I have never seen even a finger.

"Didn't you knock on the side from Lord Fan?" Yang Huaizhi asked cautiously.

Fan Bangyan is Xin Qiji's father-in-law, and he is still an official in the Jin Kingdom, so in Yang Huaizhi's opinion, if you start from Fan Bangyan, you may be able to find some clues about the mysterious noble man in the palace of Wei Shao.

"I sent someone to go secretly, but ...... Lord Fan didn't even know about the envoy of the Jin State this time, if I hadn't asked, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that the Jin envoy group had arrived in Jinan Mansion for more than half a month. Xin Qiji continued to frown and said: "In this way, these hundreds of envoys have not alarmed all walks of life along the way, and their actions in the Jin Kingdom are still quite low-key, so it seems that the possibility of Wan Yan Jing coming secretly can basically be ruled out." ”

"Do you want to contact Lord Xiaye, perhaps...... Maybe adults know? Chen Cishan didn't know how to start now, so he had to hope that in his eyes, Ye Qing, who was almost omnipotent, could predict the prophet.

The three main officials of Jinan Mansion were still worried about the so-called mysterious noble identity of the avant-garde Shaowang Mansion, and Ye Qing did not wait for Zhu Xi's arrival again for a day, but Xiao Zhen ran over and chatted with Ye Qingtian before leaving.

And the conversation between the two is nothing more than focused on Zhu Shijie's body, it is said that since he said goodbye to Ye Qing yesterday, Zhu Shijie began to continue to study the things that Ye Qing told him after he went back, and almost never slept, and in the early morning of the next day, he was still buried here, that is, even the meal was brought to the study by the redeemed maid.

Zhong Silkworm led the army of the flower planter to blockade the Confucian Temple in Nuoda, although the strict order that they were not allowed to worship again caused some riots, but it was quickly quelled, and then those who were either living in the farmhouse or in the inn of several important and prestigious literati in the hearts of the people, it is said that in the largest sage academy in Qufu, they met with Zhu Xi one by one.

"As for what we talked about, I don't know, because in the so-called Sage Academy, it is also crowded with literati who are full of mouths, and when we see us dressed in short clothes, it is like seeing a thief, and one by one we are very vigilant, that is

Even the last general couldn't get close to the hall where Zhu Xi was. Jia Shi reported to Ye Qing about the various actions of monitoring Zhu Xi today.

"Zheng Qingzhi, the head of the household, is a student of Zhu Xi, and now the right minister Liuzheng has a good relationship with him, so ...... Could it be that Zhu Xi's move to the north has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court? Or is it not his will to go north at all, but who is bewitching him? Ye Qing muttered.

Today, while waiting to see if Zhu Xi will come again, he is thinking about Zhu Xi's move to the north, how much is his personal intention, and how much is because there are people in the court who support him behind his back, so he will come to Qufu.

"When Liuzheng was the secretary of the military department, he once sent an envoy to the Jin State and met Yan Jing, of course, at that time, Liuzheng was still under Zhao Ruyu's orders. So adults...... Will it be to stay positive? After all, when he goes to Jinguo, he must go to the north, so he naturally knows the customs and livelihood of the northland, so it is not surprising that he said to Zhu Xi after returning to Lin'an, so Zhu Xi ran over in a hurry? Jia Shi helped Ye Qing analyze and said.

"Liuzheng and Yu Yunwen are old acquaintances, and they know each other quite well. This time when he returned to Lin'an, the reason why he did not piggyback on Liuzheng when dealing with Zhao Ruyu was entirely because Liuzheng, whether he was dealing with people or being an official, was not for his own selfishness, but really doing things for the court...... ”

Jia Shi listened to Ye Qing's evaluation of Liuzheng, and said with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth: "My lord, I don't know my heart if I know people and faces, if Liuzheng really doesn't have the heart to form a party for selfishness, how could he design with Zhao Ruyu to frame you?" Therefore, according to the general, Zhu Xi's appearance in the Northland is likely to be behind the scenes. ”

"What is the purpose of staying right? Relying on a Zhu Xi, he would never be naïve enough to think that he would be able to bring me down. And the act of repairing the Confucian Temple, no matter how you look at it, does not seem to be from the hands of court officials, if it is a court official, it will never be so petty, but it will be more insidious than what Zhu Xi has done now. Today's renovation of the Confucian Temple, it can be seen at a glance that it is completely from the hands of those rabble ordinary literati, if the court officials give advice, then they will not wait for me to nod and agree, directly red silk, gongs and drums to run to tell each other, and then even if you don't start repairing, at least you have to get out of the momentum first, so that I don't even have the opportunity to meddle in the work. Ye Qing stroked his chin, analyzing whether this matter had anything to do with the court, and he also needed to think about how to deal with the impassioned attitude of such a group of pedantic literati when he went to the Sage Academy tomorrow to calm down the incident and achieve the effect he wanted.

"Your Excellency...... What are you going to do with it? It can't get to our territory, and let people block the middle of the road, but there is no way to reach Jinan Mansion, right? Jia Shi sighed helplessly, the endless deceit above the court had already made him feel bored, he thought that after arriving in the north, he would no longer have to suffer from those open and secret battles, who would have thought that Zhu Xi, a nasty guy, would take the lead in stopping in front of them.

Looking at Jia She, who was indignant, Ye Qing couldn't believe that such a bright and upright military general could give birth to such a scourge as Jia Yidao.

"By the way, you go to Xiao Zhen, I have a way to suppress this matter for the time being, and we will deal with it afterwards." Ye Qing suddenly smiled, and then beckoned to Jia She, and after whispering a few words in his ear, Jia Shi forgot to salute with excitement on his face, and ran out directly.

Jia Shi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, after all, if it was as the adults just said, as long as they succeeded, it would be tantamount to a loud slap in the face to those literati, no wonder Zhu Xi and others were too petty, it seems that adults are still skilled!
