1204 Stealing the day

Li Lifang believed that Ye Qing did not have any personal grudges against Yan Keji, but if it was said that the reason why Ye Qing moved Yan Keji was just to test Zhao Kuo's attitude towards him now, Li Lifang felt that Ye Qing's actions were a bit too fussful.

Yan Keji was unable to wait for reinforcements from the palace in the end, even a eunuch and a palace maid did not appear in this street and alley, which also made Yan Keji originally full of hope in the palace, but after the seal sealed the two shops, he gradually became more and more desperate.

Li Lifang said hello to Yan Keji, who was a little dazed, and got into his luxurious sedan chair that was the only one in Lin'an City, and Li Lifang had been thinking about it along the way, although it was right to cut the grass to eradicate the roots, but since Shi Miyuan was detained in Dali Temple in the past few days, those shops and official offices related to Shi Miyuan in Lin'an City have been cleaned up by him.

And Ye Qing offended the abbot of the Great Song Dynasty for the sake of this shop and interests, which made it really difficult for Li Lifang to guess what Ye Qing's purpose of eliminating and suppressing Shi Miyuan's henchmen in Lin'an was now.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Xie Mansion, Xie Shenfu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and when Xie Daoqing got out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Ye Qing, he slowly walked to the carriage.

Xie Daoqing bowed his head a little weakly and made a grimace secretly, but Xie Shenfu was not angry as Xie Daoqing expected, but said to Xie Daoqing lightly: "Qing'er go back to the mansion first, grandfather has some court matters to ask King Yan for advice." ”

Xie Daoqing, who heard the words, felt a sense of relief, and after seeing that Xie Shenfu did not reproach her for going out with Ye Qing for a day, the mood was instantly relaxed, and after responding obediently, he quickly ran back into Xie's mansion.

The curtain of the car was lifted all the way by Ye Qing, looking at Xie Shenfu's still calm cheeks, and after Xie Daoqing's footsteps disappeared, he gradually became serious.

The dark red lantern made the expressions of both Ye Qing and Xie Shenfu look a little hideous at this moment, and the atmosphere was slightly stagnant and dull.

In the end, it was Xie Shenfu who took the lead in speaking: "I also ask King Yan to redeem the official, I have always had something unclear in my heart, I don't know if King Yan is willing to help the official solve his ......doubts." ”

"Lord Xie wants to talk about the arrest of some traitors in Lin'an City in the past few days?" Ye Qing didn't plan to get out of the carriage, and looked at Xie Shenfu with the curtain and asked.

Xie Shenfu's face was slightly surprised, he raised his head and looked at Ye Qing's dark red eyes under the light of the lantern, then nodded silently, and said with some bitterness: "Presumably, King Yan will naturally replace Zuo Xiang Shi Miyuan to take over the court phase, with King Yan's talent and ability, I am afraid that it will not take much time to make the entire court take the lead of King Yan." But...... Xiaguan ...... Did King Yan ever think that if he killed some court officials who were related to Zuo Xiang Shi Miyuan, the consequences would be unimaginable? ”

Ye Qing looked at Xie Shenfu quietly, the easy-going smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Since Shi Miyuan took charge of the court, how many people have been vegetarians? There are countless people who form parties for personal gain, and these people ...... Lord Xie, dare to ask these people who only know how to fill their own pockets, if they are not removed from the court, will it be beneficial and harmless to our Great Song Jiangshan Society? ”

"But did King Yan ever think that if all the officials related to Zuo Xiang Shi Miyuan were dismissed, the court would most likely fall into a dilemma where no one was available? Why is King Yan unwilling to take it slowly? What's more, many of them don't really want to follow Zuo Xiang, but ...... Because of the situation in the court, he had to do it. Xie Shenfu's frowning brows were filled with deep worry.

"Autumn is coming......." Ye Qing sighed a little inexplicably, then looked at Xie Shenfu and paused and said: "Lord Xie, this king looks at Daoqing's face, and I have to remind you here that whether it is the way of being an official or a minister, it should be the first priority to be the society of the world, not the trade-off and compromise." There are as many people who do not seek political power, do not seek merit but seek no fault, and these people are even more hateful in the eyes of this king than those officials who make mistakes in their position because of the sake of the society and the common people. ”

Xie Shenfu's brows instantly furrowed deeper, to his ears, Ye Qing's words were more like insinuating him, just like when he first served as the pacification envoy of Lin'an, he originally wanted to make changes to the forbidden army, but the interests behind the forbidden army were complicated, so that he Xie Shenfu finally had to retreat.

In this way, he has not done anything to Lin'an Mansion that can even satisfy him over the years since he was appointed as the envoy of Lin'an Pacification, but with the increase of age, the situation in the court has changed, so that he has to begin to believe in the supreme truth of not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

Xie Shenfu, who was somewhat embarrassed with a look on his face, took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qing, who still looked calm and relaxed, and said a little bitterly: "Does King Yan really want to let the court break his muscles and bones?" Although the Holy Lord handed over the matter of the Xinwang Mansion to King Yan to dispose of it all, didn't King Yan think about it...... Let some people use it for themselves? Or aren't you afraid that some people will hate King Yan because of this? ”

Ye Qing laughed unconsciously, looking at Xie Shenfu's expression with a slight hint of expectation, Ye Qing shook his head a little helplessly, sighed slightly, and said: "Lord Xie prides himself on being a scholar, but I don't know if you have ever heard the sentence that the sea is tolerant and the rivers are tolerant, and the walls are thousands of people without desire?" Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it, because even Zhu Xi doesn't know, and presumably Lord Xie won't know about it. You might as well give this sentence to Lord Xie today, but if Lord Xie still doesn't understand, then Ye has no choice but to persuade Lord Xie again...... It's better to resign and go into hiding, and give way to others. ”

"King Yan...... Do you think that you can now cover the sky with one hand above the court? Xie Shenfu asked with an instant anger in his heart.

The reason why he was waiting at the gate of the mansion today was that he was ready to bow his head to Ye Qing, and he did the same after Ye Qing's carriage stopped at the door, but now Ye Qing obviously didn't appreciate it, and even faintly ridiculed himself for not seeking merit but seeking no fault in the dispatch of the pacification envoy.

"Although the dispatch of the pacification envoy is important, it has always been the Holy One himself who has inquired about this matter, but if so

If Lord Xie still holds the idea of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, Lord Xie will definitely not be able to please him. Of course, if Lord Xie doesn't believe it, he can ask the Holy One tomorrow at the court meeting. By the way, tomorrow Ye will still not go to the court, and will continue to clear the remnants of the Shi Party, including some other corpses who are not in his position. The easy-going smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth gradually turned cold, and then patted the carriage, and Xu Han immediately urged the horse to slowly drive away from the gate of Xie Mansion.

Xie Shenfu looked at the carriage that was gradually submerged in the night, his heart became heavier and heavier, and his mind echoed for a long time at this time, the sentence that Ye Qing just said is tolerant of all rivers, tolerant is big, the wall is thousands of miles, and there is no desire.

The sea is tolerant of all rivers, there is tolerance, and the walls are thousands of people, and the desireless Zegang is from Lin Zexu, so at this time, don't say Xie Shenfu, even Zhu Xi and some more famous Confucians, don't know this sentence.

And Ye Qing came easily, not only did Xie Shenfu ponder all night, but even Zhao Kuo, after knowing this sentence, he couldn't help but let go of his eyes, and had to change his perception of Ye Qing again in his heart.

The sunlight that was about to reach the top of his head shone directly into the imperial study of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Kuo had been chewing on this sentence unconsciously, Han Ying was also thinking about the meaning of this sentence on the side, and under the two of them, there was Xie Shenfu who stood respectfully.

After a night of deep thought, Xie Shenfu now wants to resign, but this morning, the official book has been taken away from the mansion by Dali Temple in the morning, so that Xie Shenfu has to directly meet Zhao Kuo to resign.

In the past few days, there will be officials absent from the court meeting almost every day, but like today, even the key of the Ministry of Officials and Li Xinchuan of the Ministry of Industry were taken away from their mansions by Dali Temple early in the morning, which is the first time.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xie Shenfu's resignation, and a sense of helplessness rose in his heart, and what made him even more worried at this moment was that now in addition to Xie Shenfu in the imperial study, there was also a ...... standing outside the Qinzheng Hall Yan Keji.

Although Xie Shenfu's purpose was to resign, Zhao Kuo could also hear from the inquiry just now that Xie Shenfu in front of him was not so much looking for him to resign, but rather impeaching Ye Qing for his actions in Lin'an.

And the one outside, Zhao Kuo didn't have to guess to know that Yan Keji was also looking for himself in the back of the next dynasty today, which must be related to Ye Qing's sealing of Yan Keji's shops last night.

Zhao Kuo, who was a little entangled and helpless in his heart, obviously did not put his mind on Xie Shenfu's resignation at this time, let alone Yan Keji who was basking in the sun outside, but kept thinking in his mind, what does King Yan want to do now that he is eradicating dissidents with such fanfare?

"This ...... You stand down for now, I need to think about this matter more carefully. Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, put the piece in his hand back on the table, raised his head and looked at Xie Shenfu who looked quite hopeful and said.

"Holy Lord, although the minister is now old and weak, I am afraid that he can no longer be entrusted by the Holy Lord, but ...... On the occasion of the minister's parting, there is another thing that I want to play the saint, and that is about the ...... of King Yan. Xie Shenfu thought that Zhao Kuo's first reaction would be to reject his resignation, but what is obviously happening now is completely different from what he imagined.

And more importantly, the accusations against Ye Qing in and out of his words were now turned a deaf ear to the saint, and he didn't even have the slightest dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's eradication of dissidents in Lin'an City, which made Xie Shenfu feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart for a moment.

"Oh, what you said about King Yan, this matter ...... I already know about this matter, and Lord Xie, as the pacification envoy of Lin'an Mansion, naturally has to cooperate. Zhao Kuo unconsciously began to thin the mud, ignoring Han Ying, who instantly stared at Han Ying next to him, whose eyes were bigger than copper bells, and walked up to Xie Shenfu to help Xie Shenfu and continued: "Lord Xie doesn't have to worry about King Yan, King Yan does this...... Nature...... Naturally, he has his intentions, of course, I ...... I know this very well ....... ”

Zhao Kuo's spitting and spitting not only made Xie Shenfu a little uncomfortable, but Han Ying next to him was already stunned by Zhao Kuo's words at this time.

Han Ying absolutely didn't believe that Zhao Kuo knew about Ye Qing's actions in Lin'an in the past few days, she was sure that if it weren't for Xie Shenfu, who was the pacification envoy of Lin'an today, I am afraid that Zhao Kuo would still think that Lin'an is still very peaceful now, and it has not reached the point where everyone in the court is in danger.

But now Zhao Kuo said that he was completely aware of Ye Qing's every move in Lin'an City, and not only did he not object to Ye Qing's misdeeds in Lin'an City, but he even asked Lin'an to pacify Ye Qing's orders!

This made Han Ying's eyes widen at the same time, and her heart was even more shocked: what was it that made Zhao Kuo's view of Ye Qing change dramatically in such a short period of time?

Xie Shenfu originally wanted Zhao Kuo to administer justice to him, but looking at Zhao Kuo's posture of pushing his arm, he had no choice but to sigh, and after saluting again, he walked lonely outside the imperial study.

As Xie Shenfu walked out of the imperial study, Han Ying planned to invite Yan Keji into the imperial study, but was grabbed by Zhao Kuo, who was quick-eyed.

"Let's not hurry to greet Yan Keji ......." Zhao Kuo looked up and sighed speechlessly, and then thought for a while: "Yan Keji's visit is nothing more than because King Yan sealed a few of his shops, and the queen had already told me very clearly last night...... ”

"But you...... I really don't plan to stop it, and I have to let Ye ...... Yan Wang continues to come nonsense? Han Ying's heart began to twitch a little, at this time, Zhao Kuo was completely defenseless against Ye Qing, and looking at this posture, he planned to continue to let Ye Qing come in Lin'an City.

"Let's not talk about Yan Keji." Zhao Kuo waved his hand a little helplessly, his expression was full of sorrow, he walked back to the chair and sat down, thought for a moment with his chin on his hands, and said, "What do you say King Yan is thinking?" He detained Shi Miyuan in order to eliminate the corruption of the Qing Dynasty, which I understand, and I understand that today I let Dali Temple take away Li Xinchuan and the key to the building, even if he and Yan Keji don't want to go, I can understand it, but why did he offend Xie Shenfu? ”

Zhao Kuo's face was full of puzzlement, that day in the Xinwang Mansion, Xie Daoqing protected Ye Qing three times and twice, so even if he was blind, he could see that the relationship between Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing was definitely not between the elders and the juniors

The relationship is completely the love between men and women.

And since it is the love between men and women, then Ye Qing should not offend Xie Shenfu, after all, no matter what, Xie Shenfu is Xie Daoqing's grandfather, how can it be good for Ye Qing to offend and suppress Xie Shenfu? How can it be conducive to the relationship between him and Xie Daoqing?!

"Yes...... It may be that King Yan not only wants to be in charge of the court, but even Lin'an Mansion wants to be in charge, right? Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's face full of sorrow, at this time, she was completely unsure of what Zhao Kuo thought of Ye Qing in his heart, and then after thinking for a while, she continued: "Don't forget, the saint, after being confident in the palace, you have completely handed over this matter to King Yan to deal with, and King Yan has already transferred all the forbidden troops in Lin'an City at the first time, and then let the army of the Flower Planter be stationed in the various barracks in Lin'an City, so ...... Could it be that it was because of this incident that King Yan was dissatisfied with Xie Shenfu? ”

"Impossible." Zhao Kuo categorically vetoed: "The forbidden army has been transferred out of Lin'an City, and the army of the Flower Planter has also been stationed in Lin'an City, this matter is already a certainty, even if Xie Shenfu opposes it, it is useless." Moreover, with the personality of King Yan, since he has already done it, he is not afraid of impeachment by others...... But that's back again, King Yan transferred all the forbidden troops out of Lin'an City, what did he want to do? Is it possible to completely abolish the forbidden army? ”

Han Ying listened to Zhao Kuo's words, and finally put down the boulder she was carrying in her heart, thinking with some joy: Now it seems that the Holy Lord has obviously not ignored the fact that Lin'an City is now completely in charge of Ye Qing.

So at this time, Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo, who was puzzled, and reminded step by step: "So you must be on guard now, the army of the flower planter has all been stationed in Lin'an City, even if it is in the palace...... Because of the queen mother's guard, there must be no mistakes, but ...... After the current Lin'an City is completely controlled by King Yan, is it a little ...... Appropriate? ”

Han Ying cautiously reminded, and after finishing speaking, he was just like Xie Shenfu just now, with a hopeful expression on his face, expecting Zhao Kuo to make an order, even if it was to send an army from other places to replace Ye Qing's flower planting army, in short, Ye Qing could not be allowed to completely control the city defense and safety of Lin'an City, after all, in this way, it was a little too dangerous for Zhao Kuo and even the entire royal family.

But at this time, Zhao Kuo's reaction with his chin in his hands once again surprised Han Ying's expectations, and even made Han Ying feel angry.

I saw Zhao Kuo holding his chin with his hands, his eyes seemed a little empty, and he shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if the flower planting army is in Lin'an City, it's nothing...... At the moment, my main concern is that if he continues to cause trouble for me like this, maybe someone will come to the Qinzheng Palace to impeach him, so won't I have to follow the head when the time comes? ”

Han Ying's round eyes almost fell to the ground, looking at Zhao Kuo incredulously, at this time, he was not worried about the safety of Lin'an City, the palace and even himself, but he was only worried about whether Ye Qing would still be doing anything in Lin'an City?

And if you think about Zhao Kuo's words carefully, it seems to ...... It seems that he has no intention of stopping Ye Qing from continuing to do anything wrong in Lin'an, and he is even willing to acquiesce in everything that Ye Qing did in Lin'an City.

"It's not ......." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo with a sad face, and didn't know how to persuade Zhao Kuo for a while, the most important thing at the moment was that in Han Ying's opinion, it should be to find an official who could control Ye Qing's influence in the court and Lin'an City, not because of Ye Qing's misdeeds that made Zhao Kuo implicated.

"Holy Lord, if you want not to be implicated by King Yan's every move in Lin'an, now you can only find a courtier who can fight against King Yan in Lin'an City. Even the ...... of mobilizing large armies from other sources. Han Ying was a little anxious for Zhao Kuo.

"No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant." Zhao Kuo, who came back to his senses, looked at Han Ying, who was worried about himself, and unconsciously remembered that when he was in the Xinwang Mansion, Han Ying was able to stand in front of him to protect himself under Ye Qing's strong oppressive force, and the feeling of being willing to live and die together was like a jade liquid for Zhao Kuo, and every time he thought about it, he would feel extremely happy and comfortable in his heart.

"Holy one, is it ......." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo at this moment in disbelief, and actually showed a silly tenderness and sweetness towards her, and said bluntly: "I...... Haven't you seen the situation clearly? The entire Lin'an and even the imperial palace are all based on the head of King Yan, plus the power of King Yan in the north, once the court officials are all subdued by him, is it ...... Don't you feel that it is dangerous, and you are not worried that Yan Wang will suddenly rebel against ....... ”

"Worried about King Yan's rebellion?" Zhao Kuo looked at Han Ying and asked, and Han Ying nodded like pecking rice.

But Zhao Kuo looked at the nervous Han Ying, and couldn't help laughing, and then hurriedly put on a straight face and said: "By the way, let me remind you again, what King Yan has done in Lin'an City these days, don't tell the queen mother ...... for the time being." ”

"It's not...... This...... What exactly do you mean? Han Ying was even more confused at this time, she couldn't understand Zhao Kuo at this time at all.

And Zhao Kuo in front of him, after locking himself alone in the Qinzheng Hall for several days, is now like a different person, and even Han Ying is a little unrecognizable.

"Don't worry, King Yan won't rebel, he won't be stupid enough to rebel, let alone ......." Zhao Kuo's originally relaxed expression gradually became a little serious at this time, looking at the wisps of afternoon sunshine outside the window behind him, and muttered: "Da Song has already been ...... It's a change of day. ”

"What did you say?" Han Ying didn't hear clearly what the words that Zhao Kuo muttered when he looked at the afternoon sun.

"It's nothing, go out and tell Yan Keji, let him go back, in a few days...... I will give him another satisfactory answer. Also, send someone to Dali Temple to see if Shi Miyuan is dead or alive now, and then recruit Li Lifang into the palace to see me. Zhao Kuo instantly sorted out his mood, and then buried his head in the mountains of music, and most of the music such as Xiaoshan was the impeachment of Ye Qing in Lin'an in the past few days, so when Han Ying turned his head and left, he still heard Zhao Kuo sighing deeply at the music that had just been opened, and Han Ying, who was walking out later, also sighed: It seems that it is another piece of impeachment of King Yan.
