Xie Shenfu's mood was very heavy, and his mentality was no longer as optimistic as he was at the beginning. Originally, I thought that Ye Qing was just a martial artist, and his power and prestige were almost all concentrated in the north, and the reason why he had prestige and influence in Lin'an was entirely because of the work of recovering the lost land, so that most of the people were blinded, and they couldn't see Ye Qing's heroic behavior in the north.

But after the trip to Dali Temple, Xie Shenfu could no longer be optimistic, he was obviously too contemptuous of Ye Qing at the beginning, it turned out that everything he knew was now just the tip of the iceberg among Ye Qing's forces.

Qian Xiangzu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Bi Zaiyu, the secretary of Dali Temple, and even Li Lifang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, can be regarded as Ye Qing's party, especially Li Lifang...... Xie Shenfu sighed heavily, in fact, he should have thought a long time ago that since Ye Qing was able to unknowingly move people from the prison of the Criminal Department to the prison of Dali Temple, then it was enough to show that Li Lifang must also stand on the same side as him, how could he stand on the opposite side of him?

There are not many important government offices in the imperial court, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Military Department are completely controlled by Ye Qing, Ye Qing's power has completely exceeded his imagination, and it also made him originally firm in his belief that he can bring down Ye Qing, and he involuntarily began to waver.

This made Xie Shenfu have to worry a little, the Emperor Taishang took advantage of Ye Qing's return to Lin'an this time, and the layout design of such a big move was really sure to bring down Ye Qing?

Now Xie Shenfu has become unconfident in his heart, and he is no longer as firm as he was at the beginning, and even he has some doubts about whether the current right minister has always been very clear that it is almost impossible to bring down Ye Qing, so he will lead the will of the Emperor Taishang on the one hand, and secretly Chen Cang began to say good things for Ye Qing.

Xie Shenfu clearly remembered the words that Liuzheng had said to him about Ye Qing in the past few days, just like the conversation with Ye Qing in the Fengbo Pavilion today, above the court, is there really a black and white right and wrong?

Ye Qing came all the way, was it really wrong? Did he take the initiative to go to the road of no return, or was he forced by many factors to do so?

When the Northern Expedition was in full swing at the beginning, Wang Huai targeted him, and asked the Holy Fourteen Holy Decrees in a row to aid the Liao State, but it was still the Emperor Taishang and Zhao Ruyu who targeted him, and even did not hesitate to unite Jin and Xia to deal with Ye Qing, and Ye Qing, who escaped from death, turned around and retaliated against Zhao Ruyu with thunder in Lin'an, but only let Liuzheng go.

But it is precisely because of this incident that between Ye Qing and the Emperor Taishang, there is no way of being a monarch and a minister, making the two of them become two sides of the enemy who never die.

If this Northern Expedition had not been carried by Ye Qing for the Northland army to carry all the pressure from the imperial court, would the Northern Expedition still be successful? Can you still sit on a vast territory like now, and even occupy half of the Xia Kingdom as your own?

Xie Shenfu shook his head, not saying it on his lips, but he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Ye Qing fighting against the imperial court on his own, the Song court would not have recovered so many territories, let alone let the people from all walks of life south of the Yangtze River live a leisurely life away from the flames of war.

"Grandpa, General Yue ...... back then." Xie Dao's delicate eyebrows were tightly locked, and the solemnity between her expressions obviously should not be the solemnity she should have at her age.

"What ifs are there in this world, and if there are...... Isn't it like having a regret pill? At that time, General Yue did not hesitate to show his loyalty to the court with his death, which was naturally done by the eldest husband. As for Ye Qing...... It's just a rhetoric for his rights in the Northlands. Xie Shenfu said with a sneer.

"But...... If General Yue had also resisted the decree and disrespected, wouldn't he? Moreover, General Yue's resistance to the decree back then was also to fight against the Jin people, which is no different from what Ye Qing did, right? It's just that Ye Qing persevered, but General Yue returned to Lin'an halfway. Xie Daoqing obviously disagrees with Xie Shenfu's words, the young girl has her own values, and there is a huge difference between her grandfather in the essence of things: "I think what Ye Qing said is quite reasonable, if General Yue didn't return to Lin'an back then, and didn't die unjustly in the Storm Pavilion, maybe the imperial court would be able to recover the lost territory at that time, and it wouldn't be the situation it is now." Even if it can't recover all the lost territory, at least the existence of General Yue will deter the Jin people from continuing to go south, and then there will be no wars that will displace the people in the future. Therefore, although General Yue was loyal to the imperial court, he ...... But the people were put in the midst of the war, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

"The affairs of the court, how can your little daughter's family understand it?" Xie Shenfu said with some reluctance to argue.

The truth may be what Xie Daoqing said, but as a courtier, you should be loyal to the king, not obstinately.

"Grandpa......." Xie Daoqing pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Is your father okay?" Xie Shenfu waved his hand a little irritably, and had to divert the topic and ask in a state of confusion.

Xie Daoqing continued to pout, nodded silently, and finally couldn't help but say, "Granddaughter thinks Ye Qing is right...... That's right. ”

Looking at the back of the little girl who jumped out of the car first after finishing speaking, Xie Shenfu sighed helplessly, moved his lips and got out of the car, looked at the door of his mansion, sighed, and said: "Whether he is wrong or not, but now he occupies the northern land and does not let the court interfere. Qing'er, you are still young, and you don't understand that people have sinister hearts, Ye Qing has been able to come to this day, and he has this prestige and power, not because of the peace and approachability you see, if he is as good as you think....... ”

"Then why did he save his father? Still at the risk of offending today's leftist ministers? If he is not a good person, then who is a good person? If he saves his father, he is a good person, and his granddaughter only recognizes this reason. Xie Daoqing stomped his feet and turned back, the first time he had so confidently confronted Xie Shenfu.

"He saved your father because grandfather ......."

"But grandfather is helpless, isn't he? Is Dad a good official? Has Dad ever violated the laws of the court? Never! But he was caught by a traitor and put in prison. You also told Ye Qing in the Fengbo Pavilion that if he hadn't brought his father to Dali Temple in time, he would have been tortured by Lord Zuo Xiang to confess those trumped-up charges. will be like General Yue, who died unjustly in prison. And the murderer will sit on top of the court with dignity and continue to be sent by the left minister to run the court, and what about you, grandfather, you can only watch, grandfather...... Why don't you understand, it was Ye Qing who saved my father, not him who harmed my father? Why don't you hold a grudge against Lord Zuo Xiang, but instead you want to talk to Ye Qing who rescued my father? The granddaughter really doesn't understand. Xie Daoqing protested in front of the people in the house, without showing any mercy to his grandfather.

Xie Shenfu was speechless for a while, but he only sighed helplessly, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to disperse first, and the two ancestors and grandsons stood at the gate of their mansion and continued to stalemate.

"Your father is an upright and honest official, and he has never bent the law for personal gain, even if it is ...... The court will also administer justice ...... your father. ”

"What is the use of justice? Is it necessary to be like General Yue, who is unjustly killed today and rehabilitated tomorrow, wouldn't that chill the hearts of the courtiers? It's no wonder that Ye Qing would do what you call a big rebellion. In my opinion, people just don't want their wives and children to be without their husbands and fathers, so what's wrong? There was no investment, and there was no rebellion, and even if there was, it was because of the persecution of the imperial court. Xie Daoqing's words were said so much in front of Xie Shenfu for the first time.

Since the little girl was sensible, she has always been a well-behaved and sensible person in front of Xie Shenfu, but now, because of her father and that Ye Qing, in just a few days, Xie Shenfu has become a little unbelievable that this little girl in front of her, who looks righteous and stern and argues with reason, is her baby granddaughter.

Here, Xie Shenfu and Xie Daoqing were arguing, and in Dali Temple, Ye Qing slowly walked into Xie Qubo's cell in Dali Temple.

When we met in Yipinlou two days ago, Xie Qubo had been detained by Deng Youlong at that time, and at that time, Ye Qing's mind was all on Xiao Zhongye, who was scared and crying, so he had no impression of what Xie Qubo looked like.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with thin cheeks, medium height, a short beard on his chin, and a somewhat wise eyes, even if he is older than Ye Qing, he is probably not a few years older.

"Xiaguan Xie Qubo has seen Lord Ye." Although Ye Qing had no impression of Xie Qubo, even Xie Qubo, who was detained at the door that day, still remembered the man in front of him, Ye Qing, who was holding a baby in his arms that day.

"Brother Xie doesn't have to be polite." Ye Qing nodded and smiled casually: "Brother Xie is still used to being here?" ”

Xie Qubo looked at his dry clothes and said with a smile: "What's not used to, it's just a change from one prison to another." ”

"Then Brother Xie, do you know why the Criminal Department wants to arrest you?" Ye Qing still asked with a calm smile.

"Lord Ye is asking like this, isn't he knowingly asking?" Xie Qubo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My father has always been loyal and upright as an official, even if my second brother and I are officials, we have been taught by my father, although I dare not say that I benefited the people when I was an official, but at least I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." ”

"Brother Xie, have you ever thought about playing for yourself? If Brother Xie is willing, Ye is willing to help Brother Xie present the Holy Divine and ask the Holy Divine to adjudicate the case. Ye Qing looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desktop and asked.

Xie Qubo was silent, as if he was thinking, and only after a moment did he speak: "Did Lord Ye find Qing'er and let her come to see me?" ”

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "She found me, I hope I can help her save you." ”

"Lord Ye easily agreed?" Xie Qubo was slightly stunned, when he first saw his daughter, he patronized to ask about the family and coax his daughter who had been crying, so he didn't think to ask Xie Daoqing why he was able to find Dali Temple. "Or else?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Lord Ye might as well open the skylight and say something bright, if it doesn't violate the foundation of the ministers, and is worthy of the court and conscience, I don't know what Lord Ye wants to do as an official?" Xie Qubo is obviously much more enlightened and thorough than his father Xie Shenfu.

Since Xie Daoqing was able to find this place without resistance, and Ye Qing also readily agreed to his daughter, it was enough to show that Ye Qing must have come for himself when he brought him from the prison of the Criminal Department to Dali Temple.

"Lord Xie knew that he was detained by the Criminal Department because Deng Youlong was ordered by Han Yanxuan, and Han Yanxuan arrested you, Lord Xie, whether it was a personal vendetta or an impartial case, presumably Lord Xie himself knew best. Ye didn't want Lord Xie to do anything, but he just didn't want to see the loyal officials above the court being wronged by others. Ye Qing said eloquently.

And Xie Qubo next to him wanted to laugh when he heard it, if Ye Qing didn't have any intentions towards him, it would be a fantasy.

"Lord Ye might as well put it bluntly, as long as it doesn't violate the fundamentals of being an official and being a ...... conscience."

"It's very simple, state the facts, and I'll show you the saint." Ye Qing directly interrupted the words of Xie Qubo, who also had the pedantic nature of Xie Shenfu, and said bluntly: "Taking advantage of the fact that you were unjustly arrested by Han Yanxuan, it is enough to impeach Han Yanxuan and his henchmen for bending the law for personal gain and suppressing dissidents." ”

“…… It's really that simple, Lord Ye is willing to ...... for the lower officials. ”

"It's that simple. If you still want to be reunited with your daughter and wife, it is obviously impossible to be in prison. And if you want me to let you go, you naturally need to prove to the court and the saint that it is wrong for Han Yanxuan to arrest you, otherwise, even if I believe that you are not bending the law for personal gain, but according to my Great Song Dynasty law, I can't let you go privately, so why bother I am not Dali Siqing. Ye Qing said directly.

"Impeachment of Han Yanxuan?" Xie Qubo was a little incredulous, he didn't quite believe that with the current power of Han Yanxuan above the court, someone could successfully impeach him.

In Xie Qubo's eyes, Han Yanxuan, who is now on the left side above the court, is like an unshakable mountain, it is not at all as imagined, and it is as simple as he can be impeached if he wants to.

After all, whether it is Han Yanxuan or Ye Qing in front of him, or Na Shi Miyuan, his status and prestige above the court are far from being comparable to his small judgment.

"Unless you want to live in prison for the rest of your life, if you want to wash away your grievances, the only way to wash away your grievances is to speak out and impeach Han Yanxuan." Ye Qing calmly looked at Xie Qubo, who was a little incredible, and continued: "It's that simple, either impeach Han Yanxuan and then you get out of prison, or you wear a prison base, and Han Yanxuan still sits firmly above the court." ”

"Lord Ye has ever seen my father?" Xie Qubo faintly realized that the matter of being arrested in prison was probably much more serious than he imagined, and now it seems that it was not only their family that was implicated, but even other forces above the court were also involved because of the fact that he was arrested in prison, such as Ye Qing, who was quietly watching him in front of him at this moment.

"I just separated from Ling Zun in the Storm Pavilion." Ye Qing replied truthfully.

"I don't know ...... father." Xie Qubo asked with some concern.

"Yes, as you think, you don't want to be taken advantage of by me." Ye Qing was very honest and said with a smile: "Ling Zun is upright, he believes that you are innocent, but he also believes that the court will give you justice, but this is fair...... I don't know if it will appear after you die, or if you are lucky enough to be able to see it. ”

Xie Qubo recalled Ye Qing's words, and then shook his head with a dumb smile: "Yes, my father is upright, even if the lower officials are wronged, but with my father's character, he will indeed not abolish his public for personal gain, let alone intercede for me." In this way, Lord Ye really sees it for Qing'er's sake and is willing to help the lower officials wash away their grievances? ”

Ye Qing nodded, and told Xie Qubo how Xie Daoqing found himself for the first time, and how he braved the scorching sun to wander at the gate of the mansion today.

"It's really hard for this little girl." Xie Qubo had a hint of happiness and satisfaction on his face, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of his daughter who was already crying like a tearful man when he first saw him.

"In that case, Lord Xie might as well think about it more, and in three days, I will send someone here to ask Lord Xie for an answer, how about it?" Ye Qing got up and said to Xie Qubo with a peaceful smile.

"Then there is Lord Lao Ye, thank you Lord Ye for allowing the officials to think about it." Xie Qubo got up and saluted Ye Qing and said.

He really wanted to ask Ye Qing what the chance was if he agreed to write a chapter to impeach Han Yanxuan, but looking at Ye Qing's calm and easy-going smile, he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he had to swallow his words back and watch Ye Qing walk out of the cell of Dali Temple.
