1056 night night night
When Li Lifang appeared in Xie's mansion, Xie Shenfu was naturally shocked. At this time, even officials with Ye Qing who are good friends on weekdays should be frightened and random thoughts in his mansion. How could he appear in his mansion?
Ye Qing and Li Lifang have a close relationship. From the fact that Ye Qing could easily take Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang from the Ministry of Justice, he could see clearly.
So when Li Lifang stood in front of Xie Shenfu, who was excited on his face, Xie Shenfu was still a little confused for a moment. He frowned and spoke in a deep voice: "If Li Shangshu pleads for Ye Qing, then the official will hope that Li Shangshu will not speak out. Today's court... I believe that Li Shangshu also understood that the Supreme Emperor had long been dissatisfied with Ye Qing's entrenchment in the north, and the northern part had never been controlled by the court. In this case, let alone Li Shangshu, even if he was adding a senior official to plead for Lord Ye, it would be useless."
Li Lifang was also a little confused by Xie Shenfu's remarks. He thought for a while, and then looked at Xie Shenfu with a little funny look and smiled: "Why is Lord Xie confident that Ye is here tonight to plead for Ye Qing?"
Then, without waiting for Xie Shenfu to ask him in surprise, Li Lifan continued, "Mr. Ye Qingye is loyal or traitorous, and I cannot judge you. Moreover... Today, the Supreme Emperor in the court refused Ye Qing's impeachment of Han Tuozhou. Does the Supreme Emperor really mean that the Supreme Emperor wants to punish Lord Ye Qingye? Ye Qing made unparalleled contributions to my Song Dynasty. Not only did it regain my lost territory, but it also made my Song Dynasty travel in Lin'an and stay away from the harassment of the Jin people. Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Ye Qing is a loyal and kind person in my Song Dynasty."
"It is true that Ye Qing made contributions to our Song Dynasty court, but he plotted against the rebellion and disrespect for the court. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor did have this. Although the vast territory of the north was restored by Ye Qing, the soldiers led by him, this was not an excuse for him to dominate the north. Therefore, Li Shangshu, Xie was powerless to do anything about this matter." Xie Shenfu's serious expression was justified and stern.
Looking at the maids and servants standing with their heads down in the front hall of Xie Mansion, Li Lifang shook his head silently and sighed: "I believe Mr. Xie misunderstood the purpose of Li coming here tonight. Li came here tonight not to plead with you for Lord Ye Qingye. What's more, Lord Xie, do you think I, Li Lifang or Ye Qing, will plead with you? Why are you so arrogant and think I am here to plead for others?"
Seeing that Xie Shenfu had to refute and even tangle about Ye Qing being a loyal or a traitor, Ye Qing took out the document that Zhu Ye'er had just handed him and handed it to Xie Shenfu and said, "This is the emperor's personal letter, and I want to take you to Dali Temple for punishment. Mr. Xie was just the Minister of Works half a year ago. He rose to the top in a short time and was promoted to the Lin'an Pacification Envoy. He appointed someone as the nepotist Chen Fuliang as the chief judge of Lin'an. He even did not hesitate to use his own mission as the Lin'an Pacification Envoy to commit personal gain and to form a party for personal gain, and to lay a career for his two sons Xie Qubo and Xie Fubo, so that after you became the Lin'an Pacification Envoy, the two were promoted to Jiaxing Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture after you became the Lin'an Pacification Envoy."
"You...Shangshu Li..." Xie Shenfu looked at the imperial edict while listening to Li Lifang talking in his ear. In an instant, he stood in the hall as if he was struck by lightning and said in disbelief: "Shangshu Li, this matter... this matter... this matter is absolutely nothing. Xie's promotion and dog son promotion were personally issued by the Supreme Emperor. Xie can be in front of the Supreme Emperor..."
"Now my Song Dynasty court is the emperor who handles the government affairs, not the Supreme Emperor who has been in charge of political affairs for many years. Xie Shenfu, don't you think that because when the Supreme Emperor returned to the palace today, he could push himself to the Supreme Emperor to buy an official position on him, right? Or... When Xie Shenfu was the Minister of Works, you didn't know that the Supreme Emperor had ignored the government affairs for more than two years because of Emperor Gaozong's affairs. Now you have to blame the Supreme Emperor for your crime, which is simply a pity. Come on, take Xie Shenfu into the prison of Dali Temple..." Li Lifang, as the Minister of Justice, has rarely been in charge of affairs, and he has given it to Deng Youlong for handling. But to arrest people personally tonight, he found some wonderful taste of power in his hands.
But before he could finish his words, an anxious female voice came from the entrance of the front hall: "Slow down."
Xie Daoqing had been listening at the door for a long time. At this time, he saw that the Ministry of Justice arrested his father a few days ago and wanted to arrest his grandfather late at night, so he ran out without thinking about it and stopped him.
"Qing'er..." Xie Shenfu was obviously a little surprised. Xie Daoqing would appear here at this time, instead of accompanying her mother in the backyard.
"Who are you? Why, do you also want to prevent the Ministry of Justice from arresting the criminal?" Li Lifang turned around in a voice, looked at the simple and elegant girl, frowned, but looked at Xie Shenfu and asked.
Zhu Yeer and Qingqiu were originally standing in a secluded corner in the courtyard of Xie Mansion. When Xie Daoqing appeared, Qingqiu and Zhu Yeer couldn't help but look at each other. On the way back to Lin'an from Gushan, Qingqiu also talked about the personnel and affairs of Xie Shenfu's mansion to Zhu Yeer, but obviously neither of them expected that Xie Shenfu's grandson
The woman turned out to be the girl who was with Ye Qing a few days ago.
"How could it be her?" Qingqiu murmured in disbelief.
As Qingqiu explained Zhu Ye'er briefly, Zhu Ye'er frowned in an instant. When she went to Xingyuan that day, she of course saw Ye Qing talking to a young girl, but she was not very clear about the relationship between the girl and Ye Qing.
Naturally, I wouldn't know that when she asked Qingqiu to find Ye Qing that day, Qingqiu happened to meet Ye Qing and this woman having tea.
Zhu Ye'er frowned, then sighed deeply, and then said, "Tell Zuo Jiao that you can catch Xie Shenfu first, as for..."
"Sister Ye'er, where is the queen..." Qingqiu's heart tightened suddenly. Doing so was contrary to the queen's will.
"I will report this to the queen and I will not involve you." Zhu Ye'er bit her lip and looked at the front hall of the Xie Mansion. At this moment, she opened her arms and stood between Li Lifang and Xie Shenfu.
Zhu Yeer is now in her thirties. Once upon a time, she was so ignorant of the world. At that time... she also enjoyed it very much. Every time the queen asked her to find Ye Qing, the short time they spent together.
Although she didn't talk much between her and Ye Qing, sometimes, Ye Qing was making her laugh or trying to scare her out of color, but she enjoyed it very much and missed the time when she was scared and teased by Ye Qing.
From then on, after a person's shadow was in his heart, he could no longer hold anything, so later, all people and things related to Ye Qing became particularly cherished in Zhu Ye'er's eyes.
Zhu Yeer didn't think about how to explain this matter to the queen, but although she has been following the queen and is even called the shadow of the queen, Zhu Yeer is still a person with her own thinking after all.
The queen pessimistically believed that Ye Qing would not live tonight, but in her Zhu Yeer's heart, for some reason, there was always a thought that Ye Qing would definitely turn bad luck into good fortune.
When Qingqiu appeared in the foreground, Xie Daoqing, who had lost his father and did not want to lose his grandfather again, was already crying. When he saw Qingqiu, he instinctively thought that the appearance of Qingqiu would necessarily mean that Ye Qing would also appear.
He hurriedly grabbed Qingqiu's sleeve that walked to Li Lifang and Zuo Jiao, and cried and asked Qingqiu to ask Ye Qing to save his grandfather.
Qingqiu bowed his body slightly, just like he saw every official on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Ms. Xie, I'm afraid that Lord Ye is helpless. In the court today, it was Ling's grandfather and others who impeached Lord Ye, which made Lord Ye in the palace now... I'm afraid I can't help at this moment. What's more, even if Lord Ye has returned to the house now, but Ling's grandfather has just impeached Lord Ye, how could Lord Ye plead for Grandfather?"
Qingqiu rolled his eyes and tried his best to sow discord, which meant that it was ungrateful to humiliate Xie Shenfu. After all, no matter what purpose Ye Qing had for the first time, at least Han Tuozhou saved the lives of Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang. Xie Shenfu still had to kill Ye Qing until now, which naturally made Qingqiu look down on Xie Shenfu in front of him.
"If the lady doesn't believe it, you can ask your grandfather where Lord Ye is now and what is the situation." Qingqiu suggested with a smile of kindness.
When Xie Shenfu faced Qingqiu's ironic words, his face turned red in an instant, especially when facing Xie Daoqing's inquiring gaze, he couldn't help but turn his eyes elsewhere.
Ye Qing has been willing to offend Han Tuozhou and mentioned Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang from the Ministry of Justice to the Dali Temple Prison. In addition, when he first met in Yipinlou, he was honest with him and Liu Zheng, which made Xie Shenfu suddenly realize: It turned out that Ye Qing had never thought of winning over him or Liu Zheng.
When we greeted them at Yipinlou, we later mentioned that Xie Bo and Chen Fuliang came to Dali Temple. Ye Qing's actions were not so much a show of kindness to him, but rather a gentle warning to Xie Shenfu... in order not to let them fall into the court party struggles.
At this moment, Xie Shenfu suddenly understood why today, the right minister of the dynasty was suddenly infected with wind and cold, and could not get out of bed and go to Genshan Gate to welcome the Supreme Emperor and take leave.
Liu Zheng was not sick at all. Liu Zheng was definitely not sick and could not get out of bed. Instead, he had already seen what happened today and had long understood Ye Qing's warning words in Yipin Building. So at this critical moment, Liu Zheng chose to avoid being involved in the party disputes in the court.
At the time of the general station, the king and his minister were silent. The torch at Lizhengmen was originally like a sea of fire. After slowly entering the palace, it gradually evolved from the original sea of fire into fire dragons, and began to gather towards the platform from all directions in the palace.
"You don't implicate Liu Zheng, just because he doesn't participate in the party struggle?" Emperor Zhao Ling was indeed a little surprised. Why did Ye Qing take revenge on Zhao Ruyu alone, but instead let go of Liu Zheng, who was easier to deal with, and even had no objection, and still watched helplessly.
Liu Zheng was promoted to the right prime minister of the court.
"It's that simple. I don't kill Liu Zheng, just because Liu Zheng does not participate in the party struggle. Although he will be self-protection, just as he has never appeared in the court today, for the court, such officials do need to compete with the historical party and the Han party in the court. The Supreme Emperor, you set up this situation today, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, so that the imperial family will not experience it again. The incident of Fengboting's unjust killing Yue Fei was able to blame Han Tuozhou after his death, thus winning the favor of the officials, soldiers and the people in the north, and not causing the northern land to fall into turmoil." Ye Qing sighed in the cool breeze.
Then he continued to say slowly: "Now in the palace, like the guards of the Dragon, it was obviously prepared by the Supreme Emperor for his ministers. The Zhaoqing army that had not yet arrived at the city of Lin'an was prepared for Han Tuozhou and his followers. According to my guess, maybe you have already prepared a statement for tomorrow. The Ye Party and the Han Party are fighting, and Ye Qing is killed by the Han Party. You are deeply saddened by the Supreme Emperor. In order to avenge the loyal Ye Qing who recovered the northern territory..."
"I have been devoted to goodness in my life, indecisive, hesitant, and even neglected the government. Therefore, I have never been a qualified emperor in my life. But when I get old... I finally understand how to be a qualified emperor. The methods must be decisive and the cunning must be deep... Perhaps, only tonight will make me feel that what I do is like the actions of an emperor. Ye Qing, although I have let you down, the people in the world will remember you. You are not wronged."
"Have the Supreme Emperor ever thought about what if it was Zhaoqing's army and Sui'an army could not reach Lin'an City tonight?" Ye Qing looked up at the night sky and murmured.
Ye Qing also had to admit that what the Supreme Emperor Zhao Xing did tonight, or the carefully set up situation, seemed to be the hands of a qualified emperor.
However, as the Supreme Emperor himself said, he has wasted too much time over the years. When he figured out how to be a qualified emperor, he didn't have much time.
And... if he is really a qualified emperor, then he should not be so indecisive and spend a lot of effort. Instead, he should have a glass of poisonous wine to kill him, or sit in the mountain like Shi Miyuan, and let Ye Qing fight with Han Tuozhou first, and then come out to clean up the mess by himself.
"I realized it too late, but even now, I am very satisfied with the plan I set up today. As for Zhaoqing Army and Sui'an Army, do you have any other way, Ye Qing?"
When the Supreme Emperor Zhao Sheng asked him, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But at the first time, he was willing to choose to deceive himself, thinking that this was just Ye Qing's statement before he died. However, when he looked at Ye Qing, who was calm and deep, he denied his judgment in his heart, and finally asked involuntarily.
"The Supreme Emperor knows that I only brought eight thousand people back to Lin'an, but these eight thousand people... are all brave soldiers who broke through the Xia people's siege with me in Guanshan. I can do ten in the north. If I face the Zhaoqing army who has not been on the battlefield for many years, Sui'an army, I say a big talk. Within an hour, I dare not say that I will wipe out these two armies, but at least I can fight them all over the ground and have no power to fight again. What's more, when the Supreme Emperor ordered Zhong Qing to tell me that when I came to the palace today, I had already sent three thousand soldiers to the official road of Shaoxing Prefecture to block Zhaoqing's army.
Arrive to Lin'an. The Sui'an army in Jiaxing Prefecture... I have been operating Huainan Road for many years, and Zhenjiang and Yangzhou are across the river. It is not difficult for me to reach over and show my goodwill to the Jiangyin army in Zhenjiang. So now, the Jiangyin army has blocked the Sui'an army's road to Lin'an. Now, the Supreme Emperor is the only three thousand people I brought into Lin'an City last night." At this moment, Ye Qing seemed to have been engraved with three scarlet words not far behind him, integrating the stone tablets on the platform. His every move was as if he was pointing to the country, exuding a domineering aura of looking down on the world.
"Be serious?" The Supreme Emperor Zhao Ling looked at Ye Qing with a dazed look, but Ye Qing at this moment made him feel so real, as if at this moment, Ye Qing, who had the domineering aura of looking down on the world, was the real side of the hero Ye Qing, who had been entrenched in the north for many years.
"Please give an order to the Supreme Emperor, and I will immediately wipe out the rebels led by Han Tuozhou in the palace. And bring Han Tuozhou, the treacherous man, to you to question the crime." Ye Qing turned around, knelt on one knee to the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ling, and said with a strong voice.
Ye Qing's words seemed to be filled with a hint of golden spear in the ears of the Supreme Emperor. He actually nodded subconsciously, and then immediately looked up in a bit incredible way.
But almost at this moment, on the other side of the palace, in the dark night sky, suddenly a sound of arrows broke through the silent night sky, and Han Tuozhou felt inexplicably shocked, with a confused expression and uneasy look up at the calm night sky.
