On July 7, the fifth year of Shaoxi, the summer night was stretched endlessly. The Supreme Emperor Zhao Xing looked solemn and felt a little tired. But even so, he was still sleepless. His heavy heart was surrounded by various things about returning to Lin'an tomorrow, including some possible situations.

He didn't think Ye Qing could have any chance to turn around in this situation, but for some reason, his heavy heart always had a hint of worry. In his random thoughts, all the possibilities he had thought of were rejected one by one by one, and then quickly grew back in his heart, resulting in more unexpected situations.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of officials in the north, Ye Qing would rather go back to Lin'an with his own risk. This made Zhao Ling fully realize that Ye Qing, who was entrenched in the north, had no ambition to rebel, nor did he have the ambition to become king. Otherwise, he would not have to rely on the court in the imperial examinations. He could completely rely on the "small court" in the north to replenish officials without interfering with Lin'an.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xing was sure that Ye Qing, who returned to Lin'an, would never rebel openly, nor would he fight against him with a clear sword and a spear. This also made Ye Qing be constrained by him everywhere and would fall into a passive position everywhere.

Now is an excellent opportunity to get rid of Ye Qing, even much better than the opportunity to be surrounded by the Xinwang Mansion back then. But for some reason, Zhao Xing kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. All the lingering in his mind were the possibilities that Ye Qing would escape unscathed.

Time flows slowly under the night, and the hustle and bustle of Lin'an City gradually became calmer as it approached the ugly moment. Although there were sedan chairs, carriages, and even pedestrians on the Imperial Street that were rushing, rushing to the road, it was obviously much more deserted than the hustle and bustle of the lights when they first came on.

The carriage of Ye's mansion turned from above the Imperial Street into Zhonghe Lane. When Ye Qing walked out of the carriage, the more ugly sounds were already ringing under the endless darkness of night. The door of Ye's mansion was still brightly lit. As Ye Qing entered the mansion, he could vaguely see a blurred figure moving in the dark.

The entire Ye Mansion has been guarded from all corners by Zhong Can. Although I dare not say that it is now solid, at least with the combat effectiveness of the Inner Palace of Lin'an City, the Guards, and even the Imperial Guards, it is not easy to break through the Ye Mansion.

Fangfei quickly faced Ye Qing, looking at Ye Qing with a hint of fatigue in her expression, and hurriedly said, "The Prince of Xin'an and his wife are still in the mansion. The wife has accompanied them all night. Come and meet them."

Ye Qing glanced at Fangfei, who was holding his arms in his arms, and suddenly came to his senses. He almost forgot about the visit of the Xin'an Prince and his wife in the mansion.

"What are you talking about?" Fangfei asked in a gentle tone by helping her to bring a strand of a messy hair on her forehead to the back of her ears.

"I didn't say anything, but looking at the expressions of the two, there should be something important to tell you in person." Fangfei quietly let go of Ye Qing's arm that was held in her arms when she was about to reach the front hall.

Ye Qing turned around and looked at Fangfei again, and his heart was very clear that Fangfei would subconsciously hold her arm when she was confused and helpless, and find a sense of security for her somewhat panicked heart.

He stopped and looked at Fangfei, who looked tired and worried, gently stroked his fair cheek with one hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already solved the situation and will not let you be implicated. This family... with me here, you will not let you suffer any grievances."

Fangfei squeezed a smile on her face and nodded at Ye Qing: "I believe in you, Master, and I am not worried."

"That's good." Ye Qing gently pinched Fangfei's cheeks, and then quickly walked into the front hall.

Fangfei looked at the tall and straight back and walked into the brightly lit front hall, but the corners of her eyes became red involuntarily. Today, when Tao Qian was looking for his wife, she was right beside her. When she heard Tao Qian say that Ye Qing might not be able to escape tomorrow's disaster, and asked his wife, her and Zhong Ye to choose Tao Qian to take them away first, Zhong Qing immediately rejected Tao Qian's proposal.

Over the years, Tao Qian and Fangfei have been following Zhong Qing, especially since they came to Lin'an, Tao Qian has been secretly preparing for the possible situation like today.

During this period, Zhong Qing and Fangfei also noticed Tao Qian's actions, and even vaguely guessed the purpose of Tao Qian's preparations. However, seeing that Tao Qian was doing his best, the two did not point out Tao Qian's private actions.

In the hearts of Zhong Qing and Fangfei, there is nothing wrong with Tao Qian doing this. It is impossible to prevent problems before they happen. However, they believe that Ye Qing can go to the end in the complex situation and help their family resolve the various crises from the court and the royal family.

It is precisely because they have absolute and almost blind confidence in Ye Qing that when Tao Qian mentioned it in front of Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing immediately rejected the proposal to leave Lin'an, which forced Tao Qian to admit his fate and hand over his life to Ye Qing for trouble, accompanying Ye Qing to travel around Lin'an City until he was ugly.

When Ye Qing appeared in the front hall, Zhong Qing's expression became much more relaxed. The heart that had been holding in her throat finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief on her cheeks and hurriedly stood up to guide Ye Qing to the King of Xin'an, Zhao Shicheng and his wife.

Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan stood up immediately after Ye Qing entered the door. Obviously, after waiting for a long time, the two were already a little uneasy. So when they saw Ye Qing, the couple finally showed a look of relief on their faces.

As Zhong Qing nodded to Zhao Shicheng and his wife, he walked out of the front hall with a few polite words, and then he was left in the hall with only Zhao Shicheng and his wife and Ye Qing.

"What's the important thing about the prince?" Ye Qing signaled

The two sat down and talked.

Zhao Shicheng waited all night, and his eyes were also somewhat tired. He first looked at Ye Qing hesitantly, and then looked at Tang Wan next to him. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Han Tuozhou, who was also returning to his residence, had a more gloomy face. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind him. He thought he would be the oriole tonight, but in the end, who would have thought that Ye Qing would become the oriole?

Although the soldiers who surrounded them in the alley were dressed in an imperial guards, they could even smell the sharp aura that was faintly emitted by the so-called imperial guards. The trace of bloody smell seemed to be filled with the night. Even a fool could guess that these people would definitely not be the real imperial guards, but must be the mighty generals brought by Ye Qing back to Lin'an.

Even though he had returned to his own mansion, in front of Han Tuozhou, Ye Qing's carriage was still the situation when Ye Qing's carriage was slowly parked with him, silently staggering.

Ye Qing did not order to do something to himself at that time. Is he not afraid of being summoned by the Supreme Emperor tomorrow, or is he still afraid of being afraid tonight?

Shi Miyuan also speculated in his mansion that Ye Qing's actions tonight. Since he and Han Tuozhou had lured him and Han Shenfu's mansion around Xie Shenfu's mansion, and he had troops from northern regions into the city. It was logically a good opportunity to fight against him and Han Tuozhou, but why didn't Ye Qing move?

Did he... leave for Xie Shenfu? Was he just to stabilize Lin'an's pacification envoy and then let his people enter Lin'an at night?

He went to Xie Shenfu's residence to stabilize Xie Shenfu, cut off the connection between the imperial guards and Xie Shenfu, the Lin'an pacifier. Then, through Ye Qing's confidant in the imperial guards, he was able to let his people come in, and he was able to calmly rush to Xie Shenfu's residence to rescue him, but why... he let him go and Han Tuozhou?

When Shi Miyuan thought of almost being blocked and killed by Ye Qing's subordinates tonight, he felt a sense of fear, especially when he was surrounded by others in the alley, although he still had a calm smile on his face, his back was soaked in cold sweat. Even when he thought about it now, Shi Miyuan felt a little scared.

"Tonight, I'm going to take care of my life. I'm going to be careless and careless." Shi Miyuan shook his head repeatedly and murmured to himself: "We can't underestimate Ye Qing like tonight in the future. I thought that he could no longer make any big waves in Lin'an City. Unexpectedly, the conspiracy in the court was placed aside by him, and he actually used the strategy of marching and fighting among the army, and he also made a fuss to attack the east and west, digging the tiger away from the mountain, and secretly traveling to Chen Cang... No wonder he has been able to do everything in the north over the years."

When Shi Miyuan had just finished sighing and was still in a terrified heart, he had not yet had time to think about how he should act after the Supreme Emperor returned to the palace tomorrow, Zheng Qingzhi ran over in a panic.

He looked flustered, even when he walked, his face turned pale and forgot to salute Shi Miyuan first, and then said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good, something big happened."

Shi Miyuan sat on the chair, his fat belly undulating rhythmically, frowned and said in confusion: "What other big thing can happen in the middle of the night? Ye Qing is going to rebel? He surrounded my mansion?"

"Ministry of Justice, something happened to the Ministry of Justice." Zheng Qingzhi said with a hint of crying.

"Ministry of Justice?" Shi Miyuan was shocked and hurriedly sat upright with the handrail and said, "Let me tell me, what's wrong with the Ministry of Justice?"

After asking, a bad thought immediately arose in Shi Miyuan's mind. Since Ye Qing forced himself from the dark to the open, he also used his tricks to put Ye Qing on his own, which made the Supreme Emperor make up his mind and would rather lose the hearts of the people in the court than to bring the whole land to the court.

This is equivalent to Ye Qing giving himself the opportunity to take advantage of and provoke opportunities, Shi Miyuan also has a loophole behind him for Ye Qingzhao.

After all, he was in the dark before, and Ye Qing couldn't do anything to him, but the matter of leaving the teahouse through the rainbow...

When Shi Miyuan thought of leaving the teahouse, his red face suddenly became gloomy: "Is it related to the fact that Hong Kong came out of the teahouse?"

"I don't know this, but the lower official just heard that Lou Yu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Xinchuan of the Censorate, Lin Dazhong, and several other officials who stayed in Lin'an were almost taken away by the Ministry of Justice half an hour ago..." Zheng Qing's urgent forehead was full of sweat, and his tone was about to burst into tears: "And... and the lower official's son was also..."

"Where is Deng Youlong? He is the Minister of Justice. He should inform you about this in advance..." Shi Miyuan grabbed the handrail with both hands and asked without reacting for a moment.

"Sir, Deng Youlong isn't... you sent by you to follow the emperor, the queen went to Gushan..."

"It's broken." Shi Miyuan's face turned pale, and he instantly froze on the chair.

"Sir..." Zheng Qingzhi looked at Shi Miyuan with a stiff expression and shouted carefully.

Shi Miyuan reached out to stop Zheng Qingzhi from continuing, looked at him and asked, "Who was the one who caught him? Have you found out clearly?"

"Li Lifang, Minister of Justice, personally led the people..."

Before Zheng Qingzhi finished speaking, Shi Miyuan bit his lips and slapped the table next to him, then shook his head and said, "The Queen... is the Queen's meaning? This should be, Li Lifang... Li Lifang and Ye Qing had a grudge against each other before. Could it be that he was so generous that he would not blame him? Li Lifang also joined in. Deng Youlong misled me... No, I can't wait anymore now. Come and prepare a car..."

Zheng Qingzhi, who was stunned in front of Shi Miyuan, did not understand what Shi Miyuan said intermittently at all.

What does it mean? So when Shi Miyuan asked him to prepare the car quickly, Zheng Qingzhi was still standing in front of Shi Miyuan, dazed in a daze.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go to prepare the car quickly? I want to go to Ye's mansion in person. Yes, now, prepare the car immediately." Shi Miyuan said as he walked out with his fat body. He now understood why Ye Qing did not kill him after blocking him and Han Tuozhou in the alley.

First, Ye Qing did not want to turn against the court, but he still had some concerns. He did not want to rebel or become independent, and did not want to be considered an unfaithful minister by the court. Even under the force of the Supreme Emperor, Ye Qing did not intend to defeat the court in the death row.

The second thing seems to be that Ye Qing has always been confident that he can resolve the current crisis and will not be forced to embark on the road of opposing ministers because of the current severe situation in Lin'an.

Shi Miyuan, sitting in the carriage, was full of thoughts, and even he had to admire him. Even Ye Qing was able to make the clearest and most calm judgment on the situation even in such a situation that was unfavorable to him.

To put it bluntly, what the Supreme Emperor wants now is to force Ye Qing to embark on the path of rebellion step by step.

Because only in this way can the court openly accept all the power in the North, control the officials under the rule of Ye Qing in the North, and also prosecute Ye Qing for the crime of rebellion, so as to achieve the best of both worlds, without having to let the court, the royal family and his Supreme Emperor Zhao Sheng bear the reputation of being as loyal as the unjust killing Yue Fei.

Ye Qing saw this, so he kept trying his best to avoid breaking up with the court and avoid being forced to rebel by the court and the Supreme Emperor.

So Ye Qing made up his mind to turn the situation of the court and the Supreme Emperor forcing him to rebel and rebel into a situation of struggle in the court.

After all, there is a huge difference between the two: if we plot to usurp the throne and fight against the court, one will make Ye Qing suffer all the world and ruin his reputation, even his wife, children, and young people will be implicated. If the court fights, the nature will be completely different. Today's Song Dynasty has long become a place where various parties compete. Ye Qing is not more, and Ye Qing is not less.

Moreover, no matter how much the court struggle is, it is just a party struggle between the court. If the people in the world scold him, they will not only scold him Ye Qing. He Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou will naturally no one can escape him.

"So sinister Ye Qing, you forced me to the open, I'll tell you, you actually ruined my party! You guys have made up your mind to not let anyone have a good time! I, Shi Miyuan, originally just wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and then make profits from it. You must involve everyone and let everyone suffer with you! You are cruel! You are worthy of being a hero in the north, and you are worthy of being a bastard who can even steal half of the territory of Xia for so many years." Shi Miyuan stood in front of the Ye Mansion, cursing.

When Zheng Qingzhi was about to call the door, Shi Miyuan hurriedly stopped it and said majesticly with his fat body: "To show sincerity, let me call the door."

"Sir..." Zheng Qingzhi still doesn't know what medicine Shi Miyuan sold in the gourd. He wanted to kill Ye Qing tonight, but why did he come to the door in person with sincerity in the blink of an eye?

Before Zheng Qingzhi could finish his words, Shi Miyuan stretched out his chubby hand and started slapping the door. The side door of Ye's mansion opened, and Tao Qian exposed his head to look at the fat Shi Miyuan.

"In the end, Shi Miyuan told Lord Ye that Shi was here and came to the door in person... to come to the door in person..." Shi Miyuan admitted the word "wrong" and could not say it in front of his subordinates no matter what, so he waved straight to Tao Qian and asked him to inform Ye Qing quickly.

But who is Tao Pizi? What he is best at is the power of a fox and tiger, and acts as a blessing. So at this moment, he is like a fool, neither speaking nor walking out, just keeping his head outside the door, quietly looking at the hesitant Shi Miyuan.

"Your gatekeeper... go and tell your master. Shi Miyuan, the Minister of Personnel, has important matters to discuss with him." Shi Miyuan looked at Zheng Qingzhi helplessly, then waved to the few people and the carriage, signaling them to go up and not be disgusted by the Ye Mansion gate.

"I don't know what to do with my master? Now it's ugly. My master and his wife have already rested. If this master has something to do, maybe tomorrow..." Tao Qian, who only showed his head, said lightly.

"When is it now? He still has the heart to sleep? Are you lying? Go and report to your master, and just say that this official is the Minister of Personnel..."

"I am not afraid of Zuo Prime Minister nowadays, let alone you are just a minister. My master has seen many ministers. I have never seen a little minister, so I dare to act wildly at the gate of Ye Mansion, let alone in the middle of the night..." Tao Qian was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He knew that the fat man in front of him was Shi Miyuan, but he didn't care.

"I...I'm really worried about my master..." Shi Miyuan looked around helplessly and sighed.

"When you talk about things, what's the matter? Do you think it's important? If it's important, I can consider it. If it's not important, I won't be with you." Tao Qian said, and his head was about to shrink into the door.

"Wait... wait a moment." Shi Miyuan hurriedly took two steps forward with his fat body, looked at Zheng Qingzhi and others on the street, and had already avoided far away. Then he stared at the head at the side door and said, "Tell you, my lord, I am here to apologize."
