Shi Miyuan has never been able to make up his mind whether to suppress Zheng Qingzhi, Zheng Qingzhi has been able to gain his trust and reuse over the years, in addition to knowing how to please him and being exquisite, but also because his talent is quite valued by Shi Miyuan.

Originally, the matter of the pacification envoy of Lin'an Mansion was a sure thing in Shi Miyuan's opinion, but because Ye Qing dragged him from the dark to the light, and the death of the Emperor Taishang, everything was out of everyone's grasp.

Xie Shenfu's murder turned into good fortune and the official was reinstated, which obviously no one expected, and Ye Qing made a stalk from it, so that although Shi Miyuan knew that Ye Qing did this in order to set up an opponent for himself in the court, it was difficult for him to come up with any solution for a while, and pull out the thorn against him that was now Liuzheng in the court and led by Xie Shenfu.

Zheng Qingzhi is an excellent candidate to compete with Xie Shenfu in Shi Miyuan's heart, but now Zheng Qingzhi's son is in love with Xie Shenfu's granddaughter! This once again made Shi Miyuan's plan fail again, and he had to re-examine the situation in the court and make a choice on how to treat Zheng Qingzhi.

Zheng Qingzhi has secretly done a lot of things for him Shi Miyuan, and these things obviously can't be used as an excuse to attack Zheng Qingzhi, after all, this is a lose-lose method, and he can't act like this unless he has to.

But if he watched Zheng Qingzhi because he wanted to marry Xie Shenfu, and then dealt with him with the Liuzheng party, then Shi Miyuan obviously couldn't accept this fact.

"Zheng Qingzhi wants to marry Xie Shenfu for his son." Shi Miyuan slowly got up from behind the desk, walked to the window and opened the other half of the window, looked at the small garden, and pondered: "Does he value Xie Shenfu's dispatch to appease the envoy now, or ...... Xie Qubo's future career? ”

Lou Jian looked at the unhurried Shi Miyuan, and was a little anxious for Shi Miyuan in his heart, looking at Shi Miyuan's fat back, he spread his hands and said: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not the time to consider which career Zheng Qingzhi values Xie father and son, right?" At present, the officials think that no matter what Zheng Qingzhi values about the Xie family, but once Zheng Qingzhi and the Xie family successfully marry, then whether it is Xie Shenfu or the third son of the Xie family, the relationship with Zheng Qingzhi will tend to ease, in this way, isn't it equivalent to letting Zheng Qingzhi have a place above the court? ”

"You mean ......." Shi Miyuan turned around, looked at Lou Key, who looked a little anxious, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Are you saying that Zheng Qingzhi's ambition is not only to marry the Xie family, but to win over the court a force that can confront me?" ”

"Xia Guan thinks that's exactly the case." Lou Jian said with a serious expression: "My lord is also from the dispatch of the household department, and then after hibernation for many years, he was appointed as the secretary of the department, and finally to the current Zuo Xiang's dispatch." Now Zheng Qingzhi is the secretary of the household department, although the secretary of the ministry is unattainable, but ...... If he marries the Xie family, wouldn't the Xie family all look to him? And if Zheng Qingzhi's scheming is deeper, it is entirely possible to take advantage of this marriage with the Xie family to get close to Liuzheng. If it is at that time, once Zheng Qingzhi and Zheng Qingzhi go online, my lord, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to us. ”

"Yes, maybe Zheng Qingzhi is not interested in the marriage with the Xie family, but with Xie Shenfu, who has a good relationship with Xie Shenfu, and staying honest is his main purpose." Speaking of this, Shi Miyuan couldn't help but look at the key to the building with some concern, although the key to the building has now been recommended by himself as the secretary of the ministry, but this person's city government is still a little worse than Zheng Qingzhi.

Therefore, if Zheng Qingzhi plans to follow his career path in the court, it is not impossible to stay in the right place, and then wait and see the dispatch of the Ministry of Shangshu when there is no hope of appeasing the envoy in Lin'an.

In this way, Zheng Qingzhi can almost be above the court, taking advantage of Xie Shenfu's family and the prestige of staying in the court, and put his next step on the dispatch of the official book.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that no matter what the purpose of his marriage between Zheng Qingzhi and the Xie family is, it is imperative that the adults cannot let them marry. Whatever the method, it should not be a good idea to let them achieve their goals. The key to the building said.

Looking at the eyes of the key to the south of the study, Shi Miyuan asked clearly, "You mean to let the saint decree ......." ”

"No, the Holy One is only thirteen years old now, how can this kind of thing make the Holy Saint decide? But the adults can take advantage of this matter to play the queen mother, so as to force the Xie and Zheng families to be unable to marry. Lou Jian looked at Shi Miyuan, who was a little hesitant, and naturally knew what Shi Miyuan was worried about.

Originally, Xie Shenfu's granddaughter, Shi Miyuan had thought about being recommended as the crown princess, but later because she was several years older than Zhao Kuo, she gave up and had to choose from the children of other officials.

But even so, in this situation, it is imperative to put Xie Daoqing on the list again for the time being, and it is imperative to stop the marriage between Zheng Qingzhi and Xie Shenfu.

"After all, it's not a long-term solution." Shi Miyuan shook his head and said: "The Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the family affairs of the Holy Lord, if she wants to put the little girl of the Xie family in the list, this will hardly work with the Empress Dowager, and if this is the case, it will cause the Empress Dowager to be unhappy, and even affect other people to be wary of the Empress Dowager at the same time." ”

It is a well-known fact that the relationship between the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang and the two Empress Dowagers is not harmonious, so if the Empress Dowager is elected for the Holy Lord, she will definitely not choose those who are smart and clever, or who are too Lan Xinhui, and she must choose that kind of woman with a gentle personality to be the queen of the Holy Lord.

The girl in Xie Mansion is older than the Shengshang, and the Queen Mother will obviously never agree to have such a person on the list, let alone be older than the Shengshang

After all, in this way, what may be endangered will be the status of her queen mother, the only woman who should be the only woman on whom the saint depends.

Therefore, a woman who is obedient, gentle and kind, will listen to the words of the queen mother, will not tell right and wrong, and has a weak personality is the queen mother's favorite candidate, and as for the posture, it is a secondary condition, and it is completely possible to make up for these regrets when choosing concubines after the saint is established.

Now the queen mother likes to choose the people who are the queen, both selected by him Shi Miyuan and selected by others, but among them, the two people selected by Shi Miyuan have a great chance in Shi Miyuan's opinion, so he will never take risks, in order to hinder Xie Shenfu's marriage with Zheng Qingzhi, he messed up more important things.

"My lord, now there is no better way to stop Xie Shenfu from ...... besides this method." Lou Jian doesn't think that he needs to think about it so long-term now, no matter what, it is the first thing to solve the current dilemma.

"Who says there's no way?" The sneer on the corner of Shi Miyuan's mouth was even thicker, and even faintly with a sense of fierceness, and after snorting, he said, "Since you can't start from Xie Shenfu's side, why don't you start from Zheng Qingzhi's side?" ”

Looking at the somewhat confused building key, Shi Miyuan sighed slightly and continued: "Ye Qing once said a sentence at the beginning, that is, there are always more ways than difficulties, although it is not a profound truth, but it is also quite alarming when it is easy to understand. In the past few days, he has sent people to stare at Zheng Qingzhi's son, although this son is also quite knowledgeable, but his mind has been on the wind and snow, when the rainbow out of the teahouse has not yet closed, from time to time he will pull a group of people to chant poems and paint, so ...... There are opportunities. ”

Although Shi Miyuan didn't say what he wanted to do to Zheng Qingzhi's son, but listening to these words, Lou Key's scalp was numb, and he was even a little worried about Zheng Qingzhi, whether he would end up with a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to a tragic ending because of his alienation from Shi Miyuan.

But Lou Jian also has to admire Shi Miyuan, since he can't start from Xie Shenfu for the time being, then it is indeed a good way to start from Zheng Qingzhi's side.

And just when Shi Miyuan and Lou Jian were thinking about how to prevent Xie Shenfu from marrying Zheng Qingzhi, Zheng Qingzhi, who was whispered by his son every day that Xie Daoqing would not marry, had to go to Xie Shenfu's mansion again.

Xie Shenfu, who was reinstated as an official, has now regained his proud image of the spring breeze again, and the first thing he did after returning to the house was to take care of his flowers and plants, and then he didn't know when, and he resumed bouncing, and his happy granddaughter mixed a few words every day, and he would happily either drink tea in the house, or observe the people's feelings on the streets and alleys of Lin'an City.

It's just that in the past few days, as Xie Shenfu once again mentioned in front of his baby granddaughter that he was already eighteen years old, when he should find a mother-in-law, the little girl would pout, her head shook like a rattle, and she didn't want anything.

The subordinates were all over the place, and Zheng Qingzhi, the head of the household department, came to visit, Xie Shenfu's eyes fell on Xie Daoqing, who was serving tea next to him, and before he opened his mouth to speak, Xie Daoqing put the teacup heavily on the table, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, and walked outside.

"Qing'er ......." Xie Shenfu was helpless, first signaled his subordinates to ask Zheng Qingzhi to wait in the front hall, and then turned his back to Xie Daoqing and asked, "Grandfather remembers, didn't you travel to the West Lake with Zheng Qingzhi's son and others in ......the past. ”

"Grandpa, that's just a trip together, okay, it's not me traveling with him." Xie Daoqing turned around, looked at Xie Shenfu and said dissatisfiedly: "My granddaughter is still young, I don't want to think about lifelong events now, let's talk about it later." Grandpa, you should refuse today, lest you have to run home several times a day. ”

"Men should get married, women should get married, and now you are ......." Xie Shenfu just wanted to say a few words about Xie Daoqing, but looking at the little girl's impatient appearance, he hurriedly stopped the topic, paused, and then said with some seriousness: "Qing'er, last year, our family suddenly changed, and you and your mother were left in the family, and now your mother went to Jiaxing with your father, leaving you and me as companions." You are clever and clever, and you know ...... above this court. ”

Xie Shenfu was a little speechless, looked at Xie Daoqing, who bowed his head and was silent, and sighed: "If grandpa has another three long and two short, you will be the only one left in the family ......." ”

"No, grandpa won't be arrested again." Without waiting for Xie Shenfu to finish speaking, Xie Daoqing raised his delicate face and continued: "Even if it...... Even if there is another time, the granddaughter will find someone to save her grandfather like this time. ”

"You ......." Xie Shenfu looked at Xie Daoqing, whose eyes became quite brilliant for a moment, but his heart sank involuntarily, and Ye Qing's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Why did Ye Qing save himself and her father at the beginning, he couldn't figure it out, after all, with the identity of a little girl like Xie Daoqing, how could he persuade Ye Qing to help rescue her father and grandfather?

Unless Ye Qing has a plan for this little girl, or is it ...... What I didn't want to think about at the beginning has now become the truth.

Thinking about Xie Daoqing's eyebrows dancing every time he mentioned Ye Qing, and in the days when Ye Qing left Lin'an, Xie Daoqing's tea was not fragrant, but then he didn't know where he went, and when he came back, he became cheerful again, and Xie Shenfu's heart began to sink involuntarily again.

After Ye Qing left Lin'an for many days, the little girl suddenly changed back to her original cheerful appearance one day, Xie Shenfu thought that the little girl had completely forgotten Ye Qing, after all, a little girl who is only eighteen years old now, it is the time of youth and ignorance, and it is normal to suddenly like someone.

Now with Ye Qing going to the north, the little girl has also woken up

Come, recognize the reality.

But now looking at the appearance of the little girl, even if Xie Shenfu doesn't ask, he can probably guess that the baby granddaughter whose eyes suddenly became quite brilliant may have a figure of a person in his mind.

"Alas...... Qing'er, grandfather ....... Xie Shenfu continued to sigh, and he didn't know how to enlighten Xie Daoqing for a while.

"Grandpa, Qing'er has her own plans in her heart, so don't worry about me." In Xie Daoqing's mind, it was still the situation when Ye Qing took her to hang out in Lin'an.

"You go down, grandpa go to the front hall to meet the guests." Xie Shenfu said helplessly, but he began to think in his heart, he should send a letter to Jiaxing when he turned around, this kind of thing, maybe it would be more appropriate for the little girl's father and mother to talk to her.

In the front hall, Zheng Qingzhi, who was already waiting a little anxiously, immediately put on an enthusiastic face when he saw Xie Shenfu walking in with a frown, and Xie Shenfu also tried his best to hide the hidden worries on his brows and greeted Zheng Qingzhi.

"Lord Xie, the meaning of Zheng coming to your mansion today, presumably Lord Xie should already know. Naturally, Zheng also knew that it was a bit rude to disturb Lord Xie three times, but as for the matter of children, Zheng was ...... as a father. Zheng Qingzhi said politely.

Xie Shenfu smiled and waved his hand, on the way over, he had already thought of his words, so he didn't wait for Zheng Qingzhi to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "What Lord Zheng said is good, as the so-called parents' orders matchmaker said, I'm afraid the old man can't do anything about this matter." Even if the old man has a heart, it is ultimately up to my granddaughter's parents to decide. Now Qu Bo and his wife are far away in Jiaxing, and what Lord Zheng said, the old man is afraid that he can't do anything. ”

When Zheng Qingzhi was talking to Xie Shenfu, Xie Daoqing, who was supposed to return to his boudoir, quietly hid under the window eaves again and eavesdropped, and after hearing that Xie Shenfu pushed the family affair on his parents, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

After all, in her opinion, her parents are still in Jiaxing, and this Zheng Qingzhi, if he wants to mention this matter in person when the matchmaker can't convince his parents and grandfather, then wouldn't he have to go to Jiaxing?

At the same time, in the northern Jinan Mansion, in the post house where the Mongolians were located, Ye Qing's carriage slowly stopped at the door, and Mu Huali, Borshu and other Mongolians put on a grand ceremony unique to the Mongols, welcoming Ye Qing to the post house and participating in the banquet they arranged for Ye Qing.

The Mongolians, who were not accustomed to hosting banquets in the house to entertain distinguished guests, deliberately chose a sunny day, lit a bonfire under a few towering trees in the post house, and set up a special roast sheep on the grassland.

"Lord Ye is willing to appreciate the light, which is really a blessing for the two of us to have three lives." Mu Huali was polite in blunt Chinese, and his posture today was much lower than when he first came.

The time when they drank the fragments a few days ago made the two of them quite wary of Ye Qing's intentions, but in the past few days, Ye Qing has not made any moves in Jinan Mansion, and there are no other actions in the Jinren Post House where the Jin envoy Wanyan Yongji is located, which makes Mu Huali and Borshu feel a lot more relieved.

Therefore, taking advantage of today's beautiful weather, they invited Ye Qing to the post house again, hoping to have a serious conversation with Ye Qing about their Mongolian Great Khan's desire to form an alliance with the Song court.

Whether it was Temujin, or Mu Huali and Borshu who came to Jinan Mansion, they all knew very well that their Mongolian country wanted to make a difference now, or wanted to enter the Central Plains, so how important it was for them to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, especially with Ye Qing.

The fall of the Xia Kingdom was beyond the expectations of everyone, including Temujin, so now the Beidi or the Song Dynasty has become a powerful existence that the Mongols have to face.

There is also an inseparable hatred with the Jin people, so in their opinion, it should be a logical thing for Meng Song to form an alliance with the Jin people, but now Ye Qing's real tendency is still inclined to ally with the Jin people, and even now, they have made real and substantial progress.

Zamuhe's great head was cut off by the Jin Emperor without hesitation and given to Ye Qing as a gift, which forced Temujin to take out 8,000 cattle, sheep and horses as sincerity to obtain an alliance with Ye Qing.

The Mongols did not think about it, borrowing the Jin emperor Wanyan Jing to cut off the head of Zamuhe, so as to start revenge on the Jin, but because Zamuhe's head was given to Ye Qing, this made the Mongols dare not rashly start a war against the Jin, for fear that this would make the Song people and the Jin people get closer.

An antique Mongolian scimitar with a scabbard inlaid with various gems was taken out by Mu Huali and held it in front of Ye Qing with both hands: "This is a gift from my Mongolian Great Khan to Lord Ye." The Great Khan said that when he and Lord Ye went on an expedition against the Khwarazmian people, Lord Ye liked this treasure knife that the Great Khan carried with him, and today the Great Khan ordered me to give this knife to Lord Ye as a testimony of your friendship with the Great Khan. ”

"It's a really good knife." Ye Qing looked at Mu Huali who was kneeling in front of him, holding the knife in both hands, and gently stroked the scabbard inlaid with various gems with one palm, then slowly withdrew his hand, looked at Mu Huali who lowered his head and said, "If I accept this knife, does it mean ...... Is my alliance with your country a reality? So...... It's a good knife, but I can't take it. ”

"Lord Ye......." Mu Huali, who was holding the Mongolian scimitar, trembled his hands, and Borshu on the side shouted a little nervously: "Lord Ye, have you really forgotten the friendship with our Great Khan?" ”

"With this knife, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well every night." Ye Qing looked at Bolshu and Mu Huali, who raised his head slightly, and said softly: "My woman was destroyed by you Mongols, you say...... Can I form an alliance with you? ”
