1037 Fast-changing
Xie Daoqing, who walked out of the teahouse, was still a little confused and groggy in his mind. The impression that the court officials discussed matters was not as simple as today, as it was like an old friend reminiscing about the past.
But obviously, the two important officials I saw today said something secretly when discussing things, and the rest gave her the feeling that her grandfather was not as serious as her grandfather. Her father seemed serious and ritual when talking about some court affairs at home.
In short, what I experienced today completely broke her previous speculations and views on important officials in the court. The hero that was widely circulated in Lin'an is not like a hero, but more like a peaceful and easy place, even a hint of lovely uncle. The powerful minister in the court is also not very like a powerful minister, but more like a wealthy businessman.
Looking at Xie Daoqing who was still unwilling to leave, Ye Qing looked at the bright big eyes again: "Why don't you leave?"
"What should I do about my father's affairs? You promise me..." Only when talking about this matter did Xie Daoqing feel that it was necessary to be respectful to the uncle in front of him, instead of staring at each other in a stalemate like before, and just refuse to leave.
"Your father will not be in danger for the time being. As for where he is, I don't know very well..."
"You...you promised me in the teahouse..."
"I didn't agree to save your father in the teahouse, did I?" Ye Qing began to argue.
"It's obvious." The little girl stamped her feet with some dissatisfaction: "I said angrily, if I stop crying, I promise to save my father..."
"I mean... If you stop crying and help me solve the problem of being surrounded by those scholars, I can try my best to ensure that your father has no life worries for the time being, right? Think about it and recall, did I say that just now?" Ye Qing looked at the little girl's eyes that turned red again, and then reached out to greet me a few times. But in the blink of an eye, two ordinary-looking men stood behind him.
"Send this little girl back to Xie Mansion..." Ye Qing said lightly. He was afraid that the little girl would not want to go back alone, and then secretly followed him and refused to let go. So he had to recruit two imperial city ban soldiers who had been in the dark and escort the little girl back to Xie Mansion.
"I don't, I won't. If you don't agree today, I will follow you wherever you go!" Xie Daoqing stomped his feet angrily and said again. After thinking about it carefully, the uncle in front of him seemed to have really not agreed to save his father, but just agreed to ensure that his father's life is safe for the time being, and there are prerequisites.
So at this moment, Xie Daoqing, his slightly red eyes, stared at Ye Qing with a hint of stubbornness and anger. This uncle who seemed to be a good man turned out to be so cunning and actually deceived him!
He was sure that Ye Qing would not do anything to her. After all, Xie Daoqing knew in his heart that Ye Qing would never bully her a girl. Otherwise, he would not have found that he would stop and talk to him with a kind heart when he followed him, nor would he take him to the teahouse. Then, especially when he was talking to the fat Shi Miyuan, because he was unwilling to leave, he finally chose to make a decision and let himself sit next to him.
Looking at Ye Qing's helpless look at her, Xie Daoqing raised his chest, which was not full and his delicate chin as if provocatively raised.
After Qingqiu came out of the teahouse, he saw the scene in front of him. The elegant and simple little girl with delicate appearance was like a cockfighting on the street like Ye Qing. You looked at me and I stared at you, and no one would give in.
As Qingqiu urged Ye Qing in a low voice, Ye Qing finally chose to compromise and make concessions when facing the glare of a yellow-haired girl.
He stretched out his finger and flicked Xie Daoqing's white forehead. He looked at the little girl's cheeks and instantly turned a little blushing. He stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead, but he still stared at himself angrily, and compromised with a smile: "Even your grandfather, you don't dare to talk to me like this. Go back and tell your grandfather, I promise you, and temporarily guarantee your father's life is safe, and he will understand that he is not as stupid as you, the yellow-haired girl."
"What if you still lie to me?" The little girl rubbed her forehead, then looked at her palm, and asked with some concern.
Xie Daoqing was a little uncertain about what Ye Qing said, but in his heart, he was willing to believe what Ye Qing said, just asking her to tell her grandfather. Xie Daoqing felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, she secretly ran out to find Ye Qing in Japan today. No one in the mansion knew about it, and even her mother didn't know about it. So Xie Daoqing was very worried. If she told her grandfather that she had found an uncle to save her father alone, would it make her grandfather unhappy?
"Why do I want to lie to you a little girl? Send her back to Xie Shenfu's mansion." Ye Qing said to the two behind him again.
Then Xie Daoqing pouted slightly, touched his forehead that had just been bounced by Ye Qing, looked at Ye Qing deeply, and said: Don’t lie. After a word was settled, he reluctantly headed to another direction of the street.
After leaving the teahouse with Qingqiu, he first went to the Imperial City Office in Wuyi Lane. Then the two of them sat in a carriage and circled around again. Only when the sun was about to set the mountain did they arrive at Xingyuan. When Li Fengniang saw Ye Qing for the first time, she smashed the teacup in her hand towards Ye Qing. Fortunately, Ye Qing reacted in time, but Qingqiu behind her was not so lucky. She was hit by the teacup flying over and didn't even dare to say a word.
As Qingqiu walked out of the room with a slightly lame leg, Ye Qing still had a calm smile on his face and poured himself a cup of tea at the table, and then said to Li Fengniang, who was still blushing, "Why is the queen so angry? Could anyone provoke you?"
"Since you know that Lin'an City is now full of crisis for you, Ye Qing, why should you come back?" Li Fengniang still had a pale face, but she did not ask about Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing on the street.
Ye Qing took the initiative to say: "I didn't expect that a little girl would be followed today. You probably wouldn't have guessed that the little girl who followed me..."
"Don't forget that your age is enough to be a father to others." Li Fengniang slowly walked to Ye Qing and sat down.
Ye Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then continued, "I thought it was a dead end, but I didn't expect it to be another village. The little girl who followed me today was Xie Shenfu's granddaughter, to ask me to save her father..."
"Xie Shenfu's granddaughter?" Li Fengniang frowned slightly and said, "So you plan to win over Xie Shenfu through this matter? This is impossible. The reason why the Supreme Emperor chose Xie Shenfu was because he was upright and had always been alone in the court, never formed a party for personal gain, and only knew how to be loyal to the court. Whether it was Shi Miyuan or Han Tuozhou, they had tried to win over, but none of them succeeded in the end. And you, a person who lived in the north for a long time, has a reputation and influence in Lin'an, but Lin'an is not your sphere of influence after all. How can you win over him? Don't forget that the reason why the Supreme Emperor promoted the three Xie father and son in a short period of time was completely prepared for you Ye Qing!"
"If..." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang who was more anxious than him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "It's not to win over, but to take advantage of this matter and the Xie father and son?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Fengniang looked at Ye Qing's deep and sharp eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel she was being pulled down fiercely, feeling like she couldn't breathe.
"No poison is not a husband, but a gentleman is not a gentleman. Han Tuozhou borrowed me back to Lin'an and wanted to make a comeback for himself, so that the Han family would return to the sight of the Supreme Emperor again, so that the Supreme Emperor could see that they were still important officials who could rely on. That is why Han Tuozhou immediately retaliated against Xie Shenfu so unscrupulously, and knew that the Supreme Emperor had no intention of pursuing him at this moment, but focused his attention on me. Then just let the Supreme Emperor and Han Tuozhou..." Ye Qing said calmly.
"The disaster is in the east, and you Ye Qing can reap the profits? You see the Supreme Emperor and Han Tuozhou fight to the death, and then you can't worry about it..." Li Fengniang said as she guessed, but she stopped talking after watching Ye Qing still shake her head.
"If you want to do it, you must not leave any future troubles. Now is not the same as before. How can you do the kindness of a woman again?" Ye Qing's eyes were full of murderous intent, just as it was when Shi Miyuan was in the teahouse today, with sharp and deep murderous intent.
Li Fengniang was shocked by Ye Qing's words and took a deep breath. At the same time, Shi Miyuan's words also made Zheng Qingzhi take a deep breath. It was hard to believe that Shi Miyuan was going to attack Han Tuozhou at this time.
"Sir, in such a chaos in Lin'an, if you target Han Tuozhou, Ye Qing would inevitably not be allowed to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor's attention is all on Ye Qing, and it is not a good opportunity at this time..." Zheng Qingzhi had to remind Shi Miyuan that in this time, he would inevitably make Ye Qing profitable in the end.
"Ye Qingzhi is not in the court. He has worked hard and fought for the northern land after a lifetime of hard work. Ye Qing's purpose is to not want to let the northern land be loose at this time..." Shi Miyuan was also not very relieved about Ye Qing, so he did not agree to Ye Qing as soon as possible, hoping to have more time to guess and speculate on Ye Qing's true intention.
Zheng Qingzhi became more and more frightened when he listened to Shi Miyuan's analysis. Shi Miyuan's words were completely pointed out. The reason why he suddenly turned to Han Tuozhou instead of continuing to take advantage of the chaos in secret was that he had an absolute relationship with the negotiations with Ye Qing today in Hong's teahouse.
"The Hongchu Teahouse closed tomorrow and closed, and this teahouse can be resold." Shi Miyuan held the teacup, and the teacup looked more like it was placed on his fat belly.
"Ah? Sir... This..." Zheng Qingzhi was stunned again and did not react at all. He was just talking about the interests between Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou, so why did the topic suddenly change to the teahouse?
"I really thought that Ye Qing appeared in the teahouse today because it happened. It happened that the Imperial City Secretary was in his hands for many years. Even though Ye Qing was not in the north, the Imperial City Secretary was still tightly held by him. It was the queen who had put Qingqiu in the past two years, under Ye Qing's compromise, and so what? In the end, she was unable to take any advantage from Zhong Qing's hands? Qingqiu was obviously deliberately led here by Ye Qing today. Ye Qing was warning me that it was uneasy to leave the teahouse. This was a big gift, and we couldn't even refuse." Shi Miyuan said a little angrily. Originally, he wanted to add harm to Ye Qing after Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, but unexpectedly, Ye Qing had just returned to Lin'an and took the initiative.
Today, Qingqiu was brought to Hongchu Teahouse. On the surface, it was just a meeting between the Imperial City Commander and the Deputy Commander. But behind Qingqiu is the current queen, the queen who can handle the government affairs of the court.
Although there was a vague news of the relationship between Ye Qing and the queen spreading, Shi Miyuan believed that the reason why Ye Qing and Queen Li Fengniang were so close was entirely because Ye Qing took the lead in joining the prince's disciple.
Although Ye Qing chose to stand on the side of the Supreme Emperor when the Emperor abdicated and the current emperor succeeded to the throne, who can be sure that this is not the tacit understanding between Ye Qing and the Queen?
What's more, Ye Qing at that time, because the northern region had just been recovered and needed comprehensive stability, he really needed to ignore the support of the Supreme Emperor, who had been in power for more than two years, to help him stabilize the people in the northern region and the military morale of the soldiers.
"Sir, do you mean that Ye Qing appeared in the teahouse today to remind us that this place has been exposed?" Zheng Qingzhi asked with some disbelief.
"Idiot! When did Ye Qing do something aimless? Today, Xie Shenfu's granddaughter is accompanying him, and Qingqiu is late, isn't it enough to show that the Hong Kong teahouse has actually been discovered by Ye Qing? If he had exposed this matter in the court, and Qingqiu, the queen's confidant and deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, how could we gain a foothold in the court? Even if most of the Censorate belongs to us, what's the use? Ye Qing took the initiative, or it was a fish.
No one can survive the chaos in Lin'an. Either join forces with him and provoke the disagreement between the Supreme Emperor and Han Tuozhou when Xie Qubo was arrested by Han Tuozhou in prison. Ye Qing forced me from the dark to the open, just because he was afraid that I would get the benefits of the fisherman in the dark. Now we have to do this." Shi Miyuan's fat hand gradually clenched into a fist, and the teacup was really placed on his big belly.
Ye Qing's methods were too despicable and shameless, and he was like cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. He grabbed what Shi Miyuan was most afraid of. In his eyes, he naturally did not think of a serious crime. Even if he formed a clique in the court for personal gain, Shi Miyuan was confident that he could get rid of it unstoppable.
But Ye Qing made it clear that Hong Chuan Teahouse, known as the Ministry of Personnel, was like breaking Shi Miyuan's financial path and relationship network, which made Shi Miyuan helpless and particularly painful.
It was like a spider web that had just been woven, which was pulled and broken by Ye Qing, which made Shi Miyuan, the small officialdom that had been built for many years, faced a desperate situation of destruction.
Shi Miyuan's eyes were always vicious, his mind was equally meticulous and long-term. He completely saw the consequences that Zheng Qingzhi could not see at all. Hong Chu Teahouse, which is like a small official's department, was like a restaurant with a very good reputation. On weekdays, there was a constant stream of customers and a constant source of wealth.
In the chaos in Lin'an, Ye Qing suddenly revealed all the tricks of the minor official department of Hongchu Teahouse, which was like a thundering tiger. It would inevitably make many officials panic and dare not come here easily.
Looking at Zheng Qingzhi who was still a little confused, Shi Miyuan said with a gloomy face: "Once Ye Qing knew the real purpose of Hong's teahouse, and Han Tuozhou had just taken Chen Fuliang and Xie Qubo to the Ministry of Justice. In this case, who would dare to commit crimes to come here to seek promotion? What's more, this is just something we can see. If Ye Qing, in the name of the Imperial City Commander and his close relationship with the queen, once he reported this to the priest, it would be difficult for those officials who wanted to be promoted to seek promotion to be soldiered and everyone would be in danger. Who would dare to come here at that time? If the Supreme Emperor dealt with Ye Qing, once the city was full of storms, it would be very difficult for all the officials in the entire Song Dynasty to restore Hong's teahouse to its original state.
The more Shi Miyuan said, the more angry he felt, and the more he said, the more regretful he felt. Why didn’t he think of joining the prince’s disciple at the beginning? Instead, Ye Qing took the lead, which made him lose the initiative now than Ye Qing.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about how you were talking about Qingqiu today?" Shi Miyuan put the teacup on his stomach on the table. The more he talked, the more angry he became. The teacup on his belly was naturally unstable due to the ups and downs.
"Qingqiu said, the queen means no need to worry. Now the prince is just eleven years old, which is a bit too early." Zheng Qingzhi came back to his senses from deep thoughts and answered hurriedly.
"It's getting late, and if you delay, it's hard to guarantee that Ye Qing, who has tasted the sweetness, won't be the first to come first. Today, Ye Qing and Xie Shenfu's granddaughter appear together, which is not a good signal. Once Ye Qing... But Xie Shenfu's granddaughter is six years older than the prince. Even if Ye Qing wants to recommend this woman as the princess, I'm afraid the queen will not agree, right?" Shi Miyuan said with some confusion.
