1023 Encounter
Take the baby son he had to hold from Fangfei's arms. Just as he was about to go downstairs, Mo Xiaobao pointed to the door of another private room. After Ye Qing's gaze looked over, Mo Xiaobao whispered: "Sir, Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu are having dinner here, and they have just entered."
"What a coincidence?" Ye Qing, who held Zhong Ye in his arms, asked in surprise.
"I saw it when I paid the money just now, but I didn't know for sure. Later, I secretly found out that it was the two of them." Mo Xiaobao shrugged in front of Ye Qing and said innocently: "Although I don't know Xie Shenfu, I was sure when I heard Liu Zheng calling him Xie."
Ye Qing ignored Mo Xiaobao, but instead held Zhong Ye and looked at the door of the fairy room not far away and thought deeply, then said, "You go down and wait for me, I'll go over and take a look."
Rejecting Fangfei's proposal from Zhong Ye, Lord Ye hugged Zhong Ye with a happy hug in his arms and walked towards the door of the elegant room. When he reached the door, the noisy voices in Yipin Building obviously completely covered up the conversation inside. Even if Ye Qing wanted to hear something, it would be impossible.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and the guy who walked out looked at Ye Qing standing at the door smiling. Liu Zheng in the private room looked up, but he happened to see Ye Qing looking at him with a smile.
The teacup that Liu was holding in his hand trembled inexplicably. Looking at Ye Qing's peaceful smile at the door, a sense of inexplicable suffocation rushed towards him instantly, and his expression froze. Then he put down the teacup with both hands and endured the huge pressure and stood up slowly.
Xie Shenfu, opposite, did not see Ye Qing at the door behind him, but looked at Liu Zheng's expression that became a little nervous and stiff, and his heart was filled with doubts and incredible.
Liu Zheng is now the right prime minister of the current Song Dynasty. He is a high position and powerful person. Who is not polite when he meets him? After all, in Lin'an, there are not many officials who can be on par with such a high position and powerful person as Liu Zheng, and there are probably even fewer people who can make Liu Zheng suddenly change his temper as soon as he meets him.
Seeing Liu Zheng standing up, an ugly smile was squeezed out between his stiff expressions, his chin seemed to be trembling slightly, and he saluted at the door behind him, "Mr. Ye..."
Almost as soon as the words "Lu Zhengye" were expressed, Xie Shenfu's mind roared, and he instantly became a little confused. He could no longer hear clearly what Liu Zheng said next. He stood up almost immediately and turned around and looked behind him.
At the door of the private room, a man holding a child about one year old, with a calm smile on his face, looking at Liu Zheng, who had just finished saluting, and then his eyes shifted calmly to him.
"You are polite, Lord Liu." Ye Qing hugged Zhong Ye slowly walked into the private room, looking at Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu standing side by side, then looked at Zhong Ye in his arms, and explained with a smile: "Today, the lady has gone to Gushan, and she has been away from Lin'an for so long, so she really wants to try the food in Yipinlou. I just heard from my subordinates that Lord Liu and..."
"Xie Shenfu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Lin'an Pacification Envoy, has seen Lord Ye." Seeing Ye Qing's peaceful gaze swept towards him again, Xie Shenfu hurriedly bowed and reported to his house.
Xie Shenfu, who had recovered his calmness on the surface, did not know Ye Qing. Although he had seen Ye Qing before, he just glanced at the crowd and had never even seen clearly what Ye Qing looked like.
Today, I finally saw Ye Qing's true body in the north. Xie Shenfu's heart was like a turbulent sea. His original understanding and image of Ye Qing came from hearsay rumors, such as evil spirits, treacherous faces, arrogant and domineering, etc. In short, most of the words that can be used to slander people were also used on Ye Qing.
Therefore, in Xie Shenfu's mind, an image of a military general "Ye Qing" with a flesh-faced, rude and rude face was formed. In addition, some storytellers, in order to exaggerate Ye Qing's powerlessness and belittle the image of the Jin people, Ye Qing should be a arrogant and domineering martial artist in Xie Shenfu's conjecture.
But at this moment, the real Ye Qing gives people a feeling of elegance, kindness and approachability.
He was holding a baby in his arms. His peaceful smile had been hanging on his face since he entered the private room. His every move of elegance and education, coupled with his angular face and dazzling white hair, Xie Shenfu actually felt a sense of rosy: this should be what a powerful Song Chen should look like.
"Two sirs, sit down." Ye Qing took the lead in sitting down at the top of the head. Even though Liu Zheng is now the right prime minister and Xie Shenfu is the minister and pacifier, he finally gave people a feeling of being inferior in front of Ye Qing.
Of course, among the three, Ye Qing's title is already higher than that of the two, so after entering the private room and sitting in the upper position was not a provocation for Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu.
Zhong Ye, the little guy in his arms, didn't recognize him, and laughed at Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu, who were nervous, and then he began to point at the food on the table, signaling Ye Qing to pick it up for him.
"I don't know if Lord Ye has just arrived or has already..." Or because of the sudden tension in Ye Qing's arms, the sudden tension in the private room was alleviated. After the tension at first meeting was less, Liu Zheng also looked at Zhong Ye in Ye Qing's arms with a kind smile.
"Oh, we have finished our meal. We were just about to go downstairs and found out that the two adults were here, so Ye came over to say hello. Ye just returned to Lin'an three days ago. There are many trivial matters in the mansion, so he has not been to court these days, nor has he visited the court, so he hopes to forgive him." As if he was reminiscing with his old friend, Ye Qing said relaxedly.
"Where is there, Lord Ye is so serious. Liu already knows that after you returned to Lin'an, you went to the palace as soon as possible, and didn't even go back to the mansion to report your safety to your wife. So Liu naturally understood his difficulties." Liu Zheng said dryly.
After all, I am a tacit person. No matter how I want to make the atmosphere in the private room harmonious, it is obviously an extremely difficult thing.
What's more, although Ye Qing was holding a babbling baby in his arms, which made the atmosphere in the private room somewhat relaxed, Ye Qing was a hero and overlord of the land. After all, he could have been able to memorize all the deeds of Lin'an, whether it was Liu Zheng or Xie Shenfu.
So under such circumstances, Ye Qing showed more relaxed and relaxed in the private room, while Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu became more uncomfortable and nervous.
The only little guy in the private room, Zhong Ye, was heartless. He stared at Liu Zheng, who was secretly nervous and giggled. He turned his head to look at Xie Shenfu, who was also nervous, and said hello. Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu obviously could not ignore a baby who was ignorant of the world.
So the little guy Zhong Ye smirked at the two of them. The dignified Song Ting's right prime minister, Liu Liu, and Xie Shenfu, who was the Lin'an Pacification Envoy and Minister of Personnel, had to respond to the friendly and kindness of the Ye family's son.
The situation in the room was somewhat awkward. Although they knew that the child in Ye Qing's arms was born to Ye Qing by the princess Zhong Qing, even if they had complaints about Ye Qing and Zhong Qing's affairs, when they faced an innocent baby, they had to respond to it as much as possible.
"Oh, this is Ye's fourth child. In Yangzhou, the eldest, the second, the third child, the third child is a girl. This little guy... takes his mother's surname, so his mother named him Zhong Ye. Even my mother's surname is my mother, and I hope that the little guy can grow branches and leaves for the Zhong family when he grows up." Ye Qing, like introducing a baby, moved the empty wine glass that the little guy wanted to pull down, and then introduced to Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu.
Even though Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu were reluctant, they were just like the saying that they would not hit the smiling people, let alone the northern hero Ye Qing who sat in front of them.
So the words of praise among people, such as dragons and phoenixes, jade carvings, innocence, etc., were also given to the little guy Zhong Ye who stared at them with bright innocent eyes.
A brief greeting can also be called Ye Qing's politeness alone, the peaceful smile on Ye Qing's face was gradually replaced by an invisible power.
"Mr. Xie was appointed as Lin'an's comfort envoy, so I'm afraid you should be more careful in this extraordinary period. What do you think? "Ye Qing hugged and played for a long time today. After just seeing a stranger excited for a while, he was exhausted at this moment. Zhong Ye, who was dozing in his arms, said to Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu.
"Mr. Ye... what does this mean?" Xie Shenfu looked at him and his expression turned solemnly, and then asked Ye Qing.
"Mr. Xie is now the Minister of Personnel and also serves as the Lin'an Pacification Envoy. Shouldn't he have a clear understanding of the situation in the court?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, and then without waiting for Xie Shenfu to explain, he said to himself: "Mr. Ye is not dissatisfied with Lord Xie's appointment as the Ministry of Personnel and the Lin'an Pacification Envoy. But since he happened to meet Lord Xie today, he didn't say anything and wanted to remind Lord Xie that no matter who his expectations are, since the court trusts and entrusted them with important responsibilities, Lord Xie must be worthy of the court, instead of letting down this trust in a daze. What do you think?"
"Liu doesn't quite understand what Lord Ye said." Liu Zheng shook his head solemnly and said.
Ye Qing smiled casually and reached out to put his hand on the wine glass that Zhong Ye had just tossed and turned around for a long time. Xie Shenfu immediately picked up the wine pot and filled Ye Qing with wine, and then poured a glass of Liu Zheng with him.
"Although Ye has not been in Lin'an for a long time, he is not very concerned about the affairs of the court, but it does not mean that he is not clear about the factions in the court. The holiday between Ye and Lord Liu was over, and Ye would not pursue it in the beginning, nor would he pursue it in the future. Ye has always been able to distinguish whether it is a good official who is loyal to the court or a corrupt official who seeks his own interests..."
"Mr. Ye said this to win over Liu..."
"No." Ye Qing smiled and shook his head, "Ye never wanted to win over Master Liu for me. If he wanted to win over, the last time Ye was in Lin'an, he could fight for the right prime minister for others, instead of watching Master Liu become my right prime minister. Of course, Ye didn't have that great ability, and he would let anyone be the right prime minister for the right prime minister. But Ye had been in the court for many years, and served in front of Emperor Gaozong and the Supreme Emperor for many years. He could still do it. If he didn't want anyone to be the right prime minister, then that person would never be satisfied. Just like the art of Qihuang, it might be difficult to save someone, but if he wanted to harm someone, it would be easy, or even effortless. I believe both adults should understand this principle?"
"So today I have to thank Lord Ye for your success..." Liu faced Ye Qing head-on, obviously it was impossible to be as relaxed as Ye Qing faced him. Although he was the right prime minister of the dynasty, in the eyes of Ye Qing, a powerful minister, it doesn't matter much whether the right prime minister or the right prime minister is.
"No need. In the court, you walk your sunny road, I walk my single-plank bridge. As long as it is for the court, for the destiny of the Song Dynasty, and for the people and the country, Ye will not easily stay and be unfavorable. If it is not good for staying, Ye can just take revenge on Lord Liu in the matter of Guanshan back then. Why wait until today?" Ye Qing was still calm and relaxed.
Xie Shenfu next to him had to re-reach the northern hero Ye Qing. When he first entered the elegant room, Ye Qing was just a peaceful young man holding a baby. At this time, Ye Qing still had a peaceful smile after getting to the topic, but his whole body seemed to exude an arrogant domineering aura, giving people a sense of oppression with a numb scalp.
"So, Lord Ye was punishing Duke Zhao Ruyu and Zhao of Yi, not for public purposes but for private matters?" Liu Zheng asked with a sneer on his lips.
"Why is Zhao Ruyu doing it for the Song court again? When he joined forces with Jin and Xia wanted to eradicate me, was it really for the sake of the court? What's more, Ye has recovered most of the lost territory for the court over the years, so why would he be sorry to Zhao Ruyu? Isn't there just a black or white court in the court?" Ye Qing asked back.
Liu Zheng closed his lips tightly and looked at Ye Qing without saying a word. Xie Shenfu was obviously not able to interrupt at this time. One was the right prime minister of the dynasty, the other was the hero of the north, and even the right prime minister had to look at the face of others. He, a minister and a pacifier, probably had no right to persuade him at this moment.
Liu Zheng naturally understood what Ye Qing meant that the so-called "black or white" in the court meant. Similarly, he also believed that if Ye Qing wanted to take revenge on him, then there would be a chance when he was not yet the Right Prime Minister, when he was punished by Zhao Ruyu.
So Ye Qing did not choose to take revenge, and even made things difficult for him, which has always been a doubt in his heart.
After all, when Zhao Ruyu was taken to Dali Temple by Ye Qing, he was already ready to be retaliated by Ye Qing, and even the family's funeral had been arranged, just waiting for Ye Qing to take revenge.
But in the end, Ye Qing not only did not touch him, but even made it said that Ye Qing had fought for himself in front of the queen.
Liu Zheng didn't believe that Ye Qing would fight for himself in front of the royal family in front of the queen, but today, Liu Zheng's heart faintly shook his firm thought of vetoing him.
Zhong Ye, who was sleeping in Ye Qing's arms, kicked his legs unconsciously, and Ye Qing looked down with concern. After watching the little guy sleeping soundly, Ye Qing involuntarily showed a loving smile on his face. After a while, he raised his head and sighed slightly in the quiet room, and said, "Ye just wants to remind you two of the right prime minister, the Minister of Personnel, and the Lin'an Pacifier, that is not as easy as you imagined. Now Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou have returned to Lin'an from the north, and I, Ye Qing, have also arrived in Lin'an. Now, there will be another storm over Lin'an. No matter who you are for, first of all, you must be able to protect yourself and not be pulled off from the right prime minister and the position of the Lin'an envoy, so that you have a chance..."
Ye Qing, Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu listened to the noise outside becoming more and more noisy, getting closer to the noise in the private room. After pausing, he ignored it and continued, "The Ministry of Personnel has always been under control. Since Han Tuozhou became the left prime minister, he has been under control. Now Shi Miyuan sees that someone who is not his confidant has been sent in. Do you think Shi Miyuan will still sit and wait for death? How could Han Tuozhou give up Lin'an's rights easily?"
"These are all the affairs of the officials, what does it have to do with Lord Liu?" Xie Shenfu looked outside again. At this moment, the noisy and noisy sound was louder than before, and it seemed more aggressive.
"How could Shi Miyuan be willing to be sent by the Minister of Personnel now? The Minister of Personnel was hit by you Xie Shenfu, so Shi Miyuan must have to look up again." Ye Qing's eyes wandered to Liu Zheng and said, "Shi Miyuan has no way to replace Han Tuozhou's left prime minister's dispatch for a while. But he wants to move the right prime minister of You Liu Zheng, and this is the best opportunity. Because I, Ye Qing, returned to Lin'an, when the court put most of his attention on me, he could easily catch fish in troubled waters, and thus pull you Liu Zheng off the horse. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind..."
