The last few words of Fan Zhixu reminded Li Yanqing to a certain extent that Wang Hao would indeed use some despicable means, such as the last trial of Pan Yue's case, Wang Hao used people from Kaifeng Mansion to threaten Bao Yanzhai, so what about this time?

Not only Wang Huang, but also Liang Fangping, this time Liang Fangping was almost destroyed in his own hands, will he let himself go?

Li Yanqing thought that he had to take precautions, and after a short time, Li Yanqing returned to the mansion, he walked directly into the back house, and met Hu Qing'er head-on, "Big brother, what happened?" Hu Qing'er saw that Li Yanqing's expression was not quite right.

"Where's your eldest sister?"

"I'm here!" Guo Sisi walked out of the courtyard.

"Sisi, you'd better go and live outside the city for a while, and Qing'er will go with you."

"Ahh What happened? ”

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "The recent imperial court struggle over the Northern Expedition has been very fierce, and I am a little worried. ”

"But the struggle of the court does not hurt the family, this is the usual .......," Sisi puzzled.

"That's usually the case, but there will always be some despicable and shameless villains, and I have to be on guard."

Guo Sisi knew in her heart that she couldn't be willful, it would drag down her husband, she nodded, "I listen to my husband's arrangement!" ”

Hu Qing'er hesitated and asked, "But where can we go?" Is it to go to Baoyan Zhai? ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, turned back to the housekeeper Uncle Tai and said, "Uncle Tai, is your old mansion outside the city still empty?" ”

Uncle Tai is a native of Jingcheng Township, his home is near Chicang Town in the south of the capital, about thirty miles away from the capital, Uncle Tai hurriedly said: "I just went back a few days ago, the house is very big, and now only my mother and wife live there, it is relatively clean, and it can be lived." ”

"Go clean up! The city gate was still closed for more than an hour, so we set off overnight to bring Zhang Hu's wife with us, and Zhang Hu followed. ”

Sisi nodded and pulled Hu Qing'er, "Let's go!" ”

The two went back to the yard to clean up, and Uncle Tai said to Li Yanqing again: "You can go by boat, there is the Cai River outside our village, and you can go directly to the capital by boat, and I will rent two big passenger boats." ”

"Go ahead!"

Uncle Tai took a small servant to rent a boat, and Li Yanqing instructed Zhang Hu a few more words, and then left the mansion and went to Cai Jing's mansion.

Although Li Yanqing and Cai Jing have some personal grudges, but in general, he is not very disgusted with Cai Jing, in history, Cai Jing monopolized power, cracked down on dissidents, nepotism, and was responsible for the political darkness at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be said to be the responsibility of a certain person, especially the failure of Wang Anshi's reform, which doomed the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty to be inevitable.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the increasingly fierce 'three redundant problems' can only be said to be the drawbacks of the Great Song system, and in the end, the few steps of the Great Song Dynasty, such as the Fangla Uprising, the Song-Jin Alliance, and the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, were the responsibility of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and finally Cai Jing became the head of the six thieves but carried this black pot for Zhao Ji.

Li Yanqing only waited for a moment in front of Cai Jing's mansion, and Cai Wei greeted him from the gate, and said with a smile: "Li Yushi, rare guest!" ”

Li Yanqing saluted, "I'm sorry, I came in a hurry to disturb your mansion, may I ask if Prime Minister Cai is there?" ”

"My father is here, he heard that it was Li Yushi who came to visit, he was very happy, let me invite Yushi to the study to meet, please!"

Li Yanqing nodded, followed Cai Yu into the mansion, bypassed a few alleys, and came to a small courtyard, which was Cai Jing's outer study, Cai Yu reported: "Father, Li Yushi is here." ”

"Please come in!"

Li Yanqing walked into the study, only to see Cai Jing wearing a loose Zen robe and reading under the lamp, and the two little maids behind him were gently knocking on his back, seeing Li Yanqing coming in, he put down the book and said with a smile: "Li Yushi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See the prime minister!" ”

"You may be seated!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Li Yanqing sat down.

Cai Yan was a little surprised in his heart, his father actually asked Li Yanqing to sit down, this is rare, unless it is a first-level official of Xiangguo, otherwise a low-level official like Li Yanqing actually asked to sit down, this is the first time I have seen it, Cai Wei suddenly had an intuition in his heart, his father values this Li Yanqing very much.

"I'm going to congratulate Li Yushi first!"

Cai Jing smiled and said: "The Cao family is very discerning, and they actually grabbed Li Yushi." ”

Li Yanqing bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your love!" ”

Cai Jing smiled slightly: "If I guessed correctly, Li Yushi has already sent his family away!" ”

Li Yanqing was secretly surprised, this Cai Jing was really powerful, he knew everything without going out, he nodded, "Before coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I had already sent my family away." ”

"So Li Yushi is a very person, always prescient, I have also read the strategy written by Li Yushi when he participated in the liberation test, Li Yushi said that once the Jurchens rise, they will become a great disaster for the Liao State, I thought it was a fallacy at the time, but now it seems that they have been verified one by one, I don't know why Li Yushi believes that the Jurchens will definitely invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south?"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "The Jurchen and the Khitan were originally a nation on a vine, but the old gourd of the Khitan withered and died, and a new gourd of the Jurchen was born, but the vine is still very strong, so the Jurchen will directly inherit the mantle of the Khitan, and it does not need to be digested for decades to completely replace the Khitan as many people say, on the contrary, it just cuts the roots of the Khitan royal family, and then inherits it all, the bureaucrats are still the original bureaucrats, the system is still the original system, and the people are also the original people, Even the army is the original army, but the ruling class is completely new, how can such a young and strong tiger satisfy its appetite? ”

"But the Great Song Dynasty is also a powerful empire, and the Jurchens may not have the courage to invade south!"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Has the prime minister forgotten the donkey of Qian?" If the Great Song Dynasty did not go to the Northern Expedition, perhaps the Jurchens would not dare to act rashly, but once the Great Song Dynasty went on the Northern Expedition, it would expose its big and weak side. ”

"You're sharp!"

"It is about the thousands of Li people in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is nothing to scruple about in terms of humility."

Cai Jing nodded, "Fan Zhixu should have a letter to me!" ”

Li Yanqing took out the letter and presented it to Cai Jing, "Please take a look at it." ”

Cai Jing opened the letter and read it, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said to himself: "Fan Zhixu is also an old officialdom, how did he think of using a joint letter, isn't this persecuting the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Tong Guan has returned to Beijing, and a temporary dynasty will be held the day after tomorrow, it is estimated that it is the matter of deciding the Northern Expedition, Fan Xiangguo has no way out, so he can only make a desperate bet."

Cai Jing stood up and walked a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said for a while: "Does Li Yushi know why Tong Guan insisted on the Northern Expedition?" ”

"Maybe it has something to do with military power!"

Cai Jing sneered and shook his head, "Then you underestimate his ambition too much, Emperor Shenzong once had a will, those who recover Yanyun can be crowned kings, and my Great Song Dynasty will only posthumously be crowned kings after death, this Tong Guan wants to be crowned kings before he is alive, how can I not know his dirty ambitions?" ”

"I hope that Prime Minister Cai will focus on the overall situation and support us in opposing the Northern Expedition."

Cai Jing's bright eyes quickly became cloudy, and he said lightly: "I'm just a degraded old man, I'm idle at home, even if I have the heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, Li Yushi, I'm sorry!" ”

Li Yanqing said calmly: "Even if the prime minister is afraid of offending the Son of Heaven and doesn't want to be implicated by us, he should also consider his own historical evaluation. ”

Cai Jing's face changed greatly, and he said coldly for a while: "I have a clear conscience!" ”

"In that case, then I quit my job."

Li Yanqing saluted, turned around and left the study, Cai Jing was a little at a loss on the side, Cai Jing nodded to him and asked him to send Li Yanqing off.

There was only Cai Jing left in the room, he was really chaotic, and Li Yanqing's last sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing his heart and stabbing him with blood from his heart that he had not dared to touch for all these years.

Cai Jing is almost eighty years old, and at his age, he has already gained insight into the world, and he no longer has much nostalgia for his life, he thinks more about his posthumous position, his status in the history books, and the evaluation of him by future generations.

He also understands that he is not the prime minister of Zhongxing, and the Great Song Dynasty is declining day by day, if it is really as Li Yanqing said, the Great Song Dynasty suffered a tragic disaster because of the mistake in the decision-making of the Northern Expedition, and when later generations wrote the history of the Song Dynasty, they would not put themselves into a traitorous book, which made him really worried.

After pondering for a long, long time, he finally let out a long sigh, he should make a clear statement on the issue of the Northern Expedition to clear himself of responsibility.

..........

Li Yanqing rushed back to the mansion and his family had already packed up, and Zhang Hu stepped forward to report: "Qiqi Yushi, we have carefully observed, and there are no monitors around. ”

Li Yanqing nodded and asked him, "Is your wife's body okay?" ”

"There's no problem with the boat."

Li Yanqing asked the housekeeper Uncle Tai again, "How is the ship?" ”

"The two passenger ships have been chartered, and they are parked under the Yunqi Bridge, and we have sent things on board."

At this time, Guo Sisi and Hu Qing'er also came out with a small bag, followed by a few maids, "Husband, we're all right!" ”

"Let's go! We got on board. ”

Of course, Li Yanqing wanted to personally send them to a temporary hiding place, at this time, the city gate had not yet been closed, and he instructed Zhang Bao, Zhang Ying, and Yang Guang to wait for Li Yanqing on horseback.

Below the Yunqi Bridge is the Cao River, which is an artificial river that communicates several major river systems in the capital, the water system of the capital extends in all directions, the Cai River goes straight to Caizhou to the south, as long as you walk along the Cao River for a mile, you will enter the Cai River, and the Cai River will go for thirty miles, and you will arrive at Uncle Tai's hometown.

Two large passenger boats have been moored on the shore, Li Yanqing took Sisi, Hu Qing'er and two maids to sit in a boat in front, and the others in a boat behind, the boatmen stretched out the penny, shook the oar, and the two boats sailed along the Cao River to the Cai River a mile away, and soon disappeared into the night.

Just half an hour after Li Yanqing led his family to leave the capital, several black-clothed people appeared outside Baoyan Zhai on Yujie, they quickly climbed into the wall, and soon they fled from Baoyan Zhai. Come on! ”
