The calm above the court was expected by Ye Qing, and in Wang Huai's meaningful eyes, there were some things that Ye Qing couldn't understand, as if telling Ye Qing to ask for more blessings, and the old man couldn't help you.

Similarly, Shi Miyuan has always looked at himself with a smile that seems to be not a smile, until the next dynasty, Shi Miyuan looked at Ye Qing again, and the two seemed to have a great tacit understanding, nodded slightly to each other, and then left separately.

followed Guan Li to Lingxu Pavilion to see Zhao Yan alone after the next dynasty, and along the way, Guan Li whispered to Ye Qing about the recent events of the Imperial City Division, so that Ye Qing could continue to sort out in his mind what was wrong with the umbrella of the Imperial City Division.

"There is one more thing, hurry up, the Emperor Taishang has murderous intentions towards Zhao Caiqing in Yongjin Tower, and wants to use your conflict with Li Heng in Yongjin Tower yesterday as an excuse to finally blame you, so you must hide Zhao Caiqing as soon as possible." Guan Li lowered his head and said as he stepped onto the steps of Lingxu Pavilion with Ye Qing.

"Wang Lun did it?" Ye Qing looked straight ahead and asked.

"Yes, Wang Lun still has slaves and maids, and it is difficult to leave the palace now, especially Wang Lun, who has been serving in front of the Emperor Taishang recently, and has ...... I haven't been back to Jing Le Fang for nearly three months. What the specific reason is, Wang Lun himself does not know. Guan Li said finally before ascending to the second floor.

Ye Qing sighed slightly, then nodded, adjusted his mood, and then followed Guan Li to the main hall on the second floor.

"Chen Yeqing has seen the saint." Ye Qing swept over Zhao Yan who was above, and hurriedly saluted.

"Ye Qing sits." Zhao Yan pointed to the chair next to him, and said in a calm tone: "I should have summoned you to the palace yesterday, but I guess you have been on the road for several days, and I didn't bother you." By the way, I heard that you went to see the prince yesterday? ”

"Yes, the minister was involved in the matter of being the prisoner of Po Li, and he has always been very concerned about the matter of being the prison of Po Li along the way, so after the minister arrived in Lin'an, he thought about going to meet the prince first and explain the matter of Po Li to His Royal Highness the prince." Ye Qing knew that Zhao Yan was knowingly asking, but he had to pretend to find a reason to deal with it.

"Well, that's good." After Zhao Yan nodded approvingly, he looked at Guan Li and the other palace maids and eunuchs, and then everyone walked out of the main hall on the second floor of Lingxu Pavilion together with Guan Li at Guan Li's instructions.

"Did the prince mention anything else to you?" Zhao Yan asked after coughing twice.

This kind of cough, in Ye Qing's opinion, is obviously more to cover up the embarrassment than the cough of his weak body, and it can also be seen that Li Fengniang, the goblin, is coercing the relationship between the prince and Zhao Yan is getting worse and worse.

"This ...... Minister...... Please forgive the ....... Ye Qing also pretended to be confused and nervous to answer Zhao Yan's question.

Sitting on the top and looking at Ye Qing, who was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer, Zhao Yan first sighed, and then thought about it: "The reason why I summoned you alone is that I don't want too many people to know that the prince values you Ye Qing, but now, ...... For the prince, it is also a good thing to be the commander, but it also makes the prince want more, I say so, can you understand? What did the prince promise you yesterday? But it doesn't hurt to say that I don't have ears here. ”

Of course, Ye Qing understood that Zhao Yan was referring to the matter of the prince forcing him to take the Zen position, but this matter had nothing to do with the general as a prisoner at all, it was completely because of Li Fengniang's goblin persecution, not because after taking charge of the general as a prisoner, the prince discovered the beauty of power.

But he naturally didn't dare to repeat to Zhao Yan what the prince said to him in the prince's mansion yesterday, who knows that if he said it, under the anger of the saint, he couldn't do anything to the prince, couldn't he still treat Ye Qing to him?

If he is angry, he will casually accuse himself, even if it is a crime like inciting the prince, it will be unbearable for Ye Qing, who is now in Lin'an, so all Ye Qing can say is to say the words he admonished the prince yesterday as the words of the prince.

After listening to this, Zhao Yan was somewhat relieved in his eyes, and the whole person became a little more relaxed, and sighed a little: "This prince is just messing around, a dignified prince, and he should focus on the society of the country." When I first asked him to hand over the prisoner to him, I felt that I was too hasty. Of course, the scale of the prison can be today, and the efforts of the prince are indispensable, but this is not to see the consequences, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War is not comparable to a small Ministry of Officials, and he wants to be in charge of the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War, which is simply out of character. ”

It seems to be a reproachful word, but it fully shows the relief and ease in the heart of the indecisive Zhao Yan, compared to forcing him to Zen, now the prince just wants to use the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to hone himself more, and it is not a major matter that makes him difficult to decide.

After all, in the future, Zhao and Song will all be handed over to the prince, so now that the prince is thirty-three years old, he wants to be in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to hone himself, which can also be regarded as the prince's precaution.

"You tell him, and I'll tell him if I think about it." Zhao Yan's heart finally disappeared on this day because of the haze of the prince's persecution of the Zen position, and his face really showed a long-lost, sincere and gentle smile: "Then do you think the prince should be in charge of the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War?" ”

"This ...... The minister did not dare to ....... Ye Qing hurriedly got up from the chair and saluted Zhao Yan.

"I don't have ears here, such a big hall, except for you, you are me, the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, how come the courage is getting smaller and smaller as the official position increases, why, like other courtiers, the bigger the official does, the more he knows that he is afraid, or is he afraid that I will be angry after saying it?" Zhao Yan said lightly.

After the fact that the prince forced him to take the Zen position, Zhao Yan's whole complexion was much better, and he was naturally in a good mood and could joke with Ye Qing.

What's more, for Zhao Yan, he really doesn't care so much about the throne, just because his own position as the emperor is the same as that given to him by the emperor Zhao Gou, so if the Zen position is the emperor at this time, in Zhao Gou, it is difficult for Zhao Yan, who is famous for his filial piety, to speak, and he can't give Zhao Gou a reasonable reason.

Of course, in front of Ye Qing, he couldn't tell Ye Qing about the unspeakable hidden royal family, that is, Li Fengniang's flying and domineering and other evil deeds, and it was for this reason that Zhao Gou didn't agree with Zhao Yanchan being the crown prince now.

Faced with Zhao Yan's question, Ye Qing hesitated for a while, originally this question should have been asked by Zhao Yan to the prince, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War should choose one of the two, but now that it fell on his head, Ye Qing naturally had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.

Yesterday in the Prince's Mansion, how to choose between the military department and the official department, this is also the question that the prince asked himself how to choose, and he naturally gave the answer to the head of the prince's six departments.

But today, facing Ye Qing, who was asked by Zhao Yan to himself, was somewhat weak because of his ghostly heart, he was a little worried for a while, if he spoke bluntly about the military department, if he was listened to by Zhao Yan seriously, it would be equivalent to trapping himself and the prince.

But if he bluntly said that he was a ministry, he would have a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid of the current saint Zhao Yan in front of him, thinking that he had instigated the prince.

In short, this question seems simple, but perhaps no matter which one you answer, it is possible, or it is now that the saint has seen it, in fact, these are all ways to appease the prince?

But fortunately, without waiting for Ye Qing, who was a little nervous and worried, to answer, Zhao Yan continued: "The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the stakes are very high, although the prince is no longer young, but if he is in charge of the Ministry alone, I am afraid that he will be a little powerless, and it will only increase the misunderstanding between the courtiers, so if you recommend the prince to go to the Ministry of Officials, then you Ye Qing also need to find a suitable squire for the prince." Don't...... Ye Qing, do you want to go back to Lin'an to serve as a waiter? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister never has this idea. The minister just repeated what the prince said to the minister yesterday and gave it to the holy ....... Ye Qing, who was standing next to the chair, hurriedly said.

"I naturally know that this is the prince's idea, you just came back from Huainan East Road yesterday, how could you be able to solve the prince in such a short time." Zhao Yan was satisfied with Ye Qing's performance in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, if I really hand over the ministry to the prince, who do you think is suitable to assist the prince in charge of the ministry in the court or in the officialdom of Lin'an?" ”

"The minister recommended Xiao Zhen, the prefect of Lin'an." Ye Qing said without hesitation.

Zhao Yan must know that Xiao Zhen went to Lin'an Wharf to pick him up yesterday, including going to Yongjin Mansion with Xiao Zhen, so Ye Qing naturally wanted to use Zhao Yan's problem to help himself exonerate himself not because he instigated the prince to give up and persecute Zhao Yan's Zen position, and retreated to the second place of the Ministry of Ministers.

"Why?" Zhao Yan asked easily and satisfied.

"Xiao Zhen has served as the prefect of Lin'an for many years, he is honest and fair, and Lin'an Mansion has never been in trouble under Xiao Zhen's rule, and ...... Since he has been able to serve as the prefect of Lin'an for so many years, it is enough to show that the Holy Lord has trust in him, so if Xiao Zhen assists the prince in charge of the ministry, there will definitely be no mistakes. Ye Qing said categorically.

Zhao Yan looked at Ye Qing quietly without speaking, until Ye Qing felt that his slightly bent waist might not be able to straighten up, and then Zhao Yan slowly spoke: "I want to think about how to settle the prince, you can go down...... By the way, let's go to the Queen. ”

After saluting again, Ye Qing slowly walked out of the main hall on the second floor of Lingxu Pavilion, and Guan Li at the door pointed to a eunuch next to him, signaling that he would take him to see the queen.

After walking out of the Lingxu Pavilion, Ye Qing couldn't help but let out a long breath at the clear blue sky, even in the face of a mediocre emperor who only pursued filial piety all his life, but also wanted to recover the country, such a duet also made him feel a huge pressure from Mount Tai.

As if he had been reborn, there were still some muddy heads in the Lingxu Pavilion, and when he got closer and closer to the Jin Fat Corridor, Ye Qing felt as if his true self had just been possessed.

The Rouge Corridor is still very long, but now, the thick curtains that were originally used to shield from the wind and rain on both sides in winter have completely disappeared, and are replaced by large and small Poli with a square of one foot, inlaid on the delicate windows on both sides of the Rouge Corridor.
