1079 Prince
Now that the prince succeeds to the throne and the abdication of the throne, Ye Qing is facing the situation that he can do things that cannot be made public or even more people know.
The reason is that Ye Qing's power in the north and his identity as the governor of the north made him unable to choose to write a letter to persuade the priest to abdicate in this matter like other court officials.
Ye Qing's letter will inevitably arouse opposition from the court officials and will inevitably lead the matter to the opposite direction. After all, his identity as a hero in the north makes him unconsciously recognized as seeking benefits for him no matter what he does in the court.
Of course, this is also related to his absence from the court for many years. In addition to the limited number of yamen that he has attracted, there are more yamen officials who are attracted by Shi Miyuan. If Ye Qing wants to have a support advantage in the court, it is simply impossible for him to do at present.
Shi Miyuan has been in charge of the court for many years, and his power in the court is deeply rooted. His influence is just like Ye Qing's influence in the north, and it cannot be easily broken.
The Song Dynasty court had many yamen offices. Although not every yamen office was as powerful as the Six Ministry, Dali Temple and other yamen offices. However, their existence was like a right to speak. Although there was no real visible power, it could also hurt people invisibly and influence the situation of the court.
The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. Over the years, Ye Qing was definitely not able to reverse it in a short period of time.
Since its establishment, the foundation created by literati in the court has never been easily disintegrated by a martial artist.
As the saying goes, people are terrifying. Censors and censors are like institutions that control public opinion in the world, and they are often appointed by civil officials. Military generals have very little or very light voice in the court. Just like every dynasty, almost all departments with significant power have no right to speak.
This is especially true for the way literati govern the country. They are not afraid of military generals with military power, but they are afraid of "likes" who can kill people with just one sharp mouth like them.
The many government agencies of the Song Dynasty court were like various media organizations in later generations. They had the right to speak and the direction of public opinion. Right and wrong are not between justice, but only in interests. The ability to turn black and white into a deer and make a horse is definitely not something that an institution like the Imperial City Department can compete with, let alone the army far away in the north.
Therefore, although Ye Qing looked extremely glorious and had a high position and a high position in recent years, even so, he did not dare to openly be enemies of the entire court. Instead, he expressed his loyalty to the court through various methods, which was precisely due to his fear of other government agencies.
They may not have other abilities, or they may let them govern the country and save the people from water and fire, and they will act as stupid as pigs, but they have the right to speak in their hands that can make the people of the world despise you, just like a shackle that is tied to the neck of a military general, it is difficult to break free.
"A yamen that you look down on, a yamen that seems useless, or you think its existence is optional, but..." Ye Qing pointed to the top of his head and continued: "When you become a ruler, you will know how useful it is to raise these people to rule the country."
"Then... do you think the prince tomorrow will complain about you...?" Zhong Qing sighed weakly, and she had not yet calmed down and started again. She had really lived enough of such fearful days.
"I don't know." Ye Qing said without thinking: "Even if it is the queen, or I told the prince in person what I did in this matter, those things... such as asking King Qing, Prince Xin'an to abdicate the throne, and asking Li Fengniang to bite the bullet and go to Gushan, etc., are all invisible and intangible things. Compared to a memorial that seems to be a real advice to abdicate, although the effect is very important, but... who cares? Is it a beggar or an official? Before the prince shows it, no one knows whether the prince is grateful or complaining to me, Ye Qing."
"Even if you treat the prince honestly tomorrow, if the prince doesn't believe it, then no matter what you say, he will not believe it. Because... the ministers who advised the throne of the priests do not have the memorial of you Ye Qing. If this happens, it will inevitably lead you to passiveness. I have never paid attention to the court. Over the years, although I have also operated some connections in the court, compared with the many government agencies in the court, Dali Temple, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice are just the tip of the iceberg, but the power in my hands is more important to the north." Zhong Qing feels that
As my temples become faintly swollen, the higher the status of the court, the more trouble you will be, it will definitely be, not as easy as you look on the surface.
"The king and the minister, no matter how powerful the power is, a minister is in a passive situation. No matter what, in the hearts of the people of the world, no matter how much credit a minister has to the country, once the word "王机" is involved, the situation of this minister will be more passive and will either walk on thin ice or die." Ye Qing sighed, and he was also worried about seeing the prince tomorrow.
Of course, there is another reason because he had no chance to repair the possible dispute between the monarch and his subjects with the prince, because once the emperor agreed to abdicate, then it was when he left Lin'an and went to the north.
Even if I don’t want to go, the new king will definitely not let himself stay in Lin'an for his own majesty.
At this time, in the palace, accompanied by Li Fengniang, the prince Zhao Kuo, who had read today's memorials, looked at the memorials of the ministers who advised the emperor to abdicate, and asked Li Fengniang with some confusion: "Mother, son minister... Why didn't the memorials of Ye Qing's letter to the abdication of his father in these memorials?"
Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo who was frowning with a slightly confused face and smiled and said, "He doesn't need to write a letter to your father. Besides, many of these memorials report that your father abdicated because of him. He did..."
Li Fengniang didn't know how to talk to Zhao Kuo for a moment, but after pausing, he said: "He has done much more than those who wrote memorials, so when you summon him alone tomorrow, you must not show any dissatisfaction with him."
Zhao Kuo nodded silently, then turned to look at the high memorial, and said obediently: "Yes, mother, son will remember it."
As the saying goes, no one knows his son, and looking at Zhao Kuo's expression, with a hint of confusion, Li Fengniang sighed slightly, and then continued to say to Zhao Kuo: "When you grow up, you know how to deal with the government affairs. Once you are familiar with the court, you will understand. In short, remember the words of the mother, what Ye Qing did is the key. It was he who convinced King Qing, Prince Xin'an, and the Right Prime Minister Liu Zheng to persuade your father to abdicate."
After biting his thin lips, Zhao Kuo nodded silently again. After thinking for a while, he spoke out: "My son remember."
Looking at the back of Zhao Kuo who left Ciming Hall and wanted to continue studying, a bad premonition arose in Li Fengniang's heart. But at this time, she could only look forward to herself and slowly relieve Zhao Kuo's unhappiness, and hope that as Zhao Kuo grew up, she could understand this matter by herself after getting familiar with the court.
A man was stunned for a while. After recovering from his senses, Li Fengniang sighed slightly, and then said to Zhu Yeer: "Go to the Ye Mansion and tell Ye Qing about the prince's problem today, so that he can be prepared."
Zhu Ye'er nodded, and when Prince Zhao Kuo asked Li Fengniang, Zhu Ye'er was actually a little uneasy. After all, the prince, who has always been well-behaved, never questioned anything, but today, he actually questioned Ye Qing, which made her sweat for Ye Qing.
When Zhong Qing first saw Zhu Yeer, she found that something seemed wrong with Zhu Yeer. Because of Li Fengniang, Zhong Qing's eyes when she looked at Zhu Yeer would be more or less hostile no matter when.
So when Zhu Ye'er's cheeks became redder and her heart became more and more uneasy under Zhong Qing's gaze, Zhong Qing suddenly became a little clearer. She pinched Ye Qing's waist hard in secret, and then when Lord Ye was in pain, she snorted coldly and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Zhu Yeer is very sensible and respectful. Whether facing Zhong Qing or Ye Qing, even though a lot of things have happened between them, Zhu Yeer is still as good as before when she grasps etiquette.
Even though Zhong Qing despises Ye Qing in her heart and is dissatisfied with Li Fengniang, even if she is a little hostile to Zhu Ye'er, at least she is still quite polite to Zhu Ye'er on the surface.
After all, when she and Li Fengniang sarcastically mocked each other from time to time, Zhu Ye'er never looked at anyone on the surface, nor did she follow Li Fengniang's Fengwei, being arrogant and domineering in front of her Zhong Qing. Instead, she was extremely respectful to her no matter when.
"Miss Ye'er, please sit down." Zhong Qing said as she signaled the maid to serve tea, and then looked at Zhu Ye'er, who was obviously uncomfortable in her sight. She held Zhu Ye'er's hand next to Zhu Ye'er, patted her and said, "Miss Ye'er, don't be restrained, this is not
In the palace, no one regards you as a slave, just sit down and talk. I happen to have something to do. The little guy has been crying in the backyard, so I'll go over and take a look first."
"Yes, madam, Ye'er is just here... come..." Zhu Ye'er's eyes dodged, and she was afraid to look at Zhong Qing's eyes.
It was not until Zhong Qing left that Zhu Ye'er let out a heavy sigh. After Ye Qing signaled again, she sat down on the chair next to Ye Qing.
After the maid put down the teacup and left, she and Ye Qing were left in the hall. Zhu Ye'er naturally knew that this must be Zhong Qing who could send everyone away, leaving her room to talk to Ye Qing alone.
"Suddenly, but what's wrong with the queen?" Ye Qing also felt a little confused about how to face Zhu Ye'er. Those things had already happened between the two, and after the incident, they had not met for several days. It was a bit embarrassing to see each other today, and it was even better than when nothing had happened before.
After Zhu Yeer told Ye Qing what happened in Ciming Hall today as Li Fengniang's instructions, Ye Qing's brows gradually frowned, and in Zhu Yeer's eyes, the gray temples seemed to be more dazzling at this moment than before.
"Who else knows about this?" Ye Qing thought for a while and asked.
"No one knows except the queen and the servants." Zhu Yeer said with great confidence.
Ye Qing nodded silently, then thought for a while and said, "Remember, only the three of us know about today's affairs, and we must not disclose them to anyone."
Zhu Ye'er nodded vigorously, with bright eyes, with water-like gentleness, and hesitated, and said: "Sir, I... I don't know something..."
"Didn't we all agree to it last time in Xingyuan? When there is no one in the future, you don't have to call yourself a slave." Ye Qing said with a casual smile.
As soon as he heard the word Xingyuan, Zhu Ye'er's face turned red instantly and his expression was a little unnatural, but he nodded subconsciously and continued: "Ye'er... Ye'er wants to say, "Your, you will... If you can, you can explain it to the prince tomorrow. Although the queen has already told the prince today, King Qing, Prince Xin'an, and even the letter to the prince, it is all because of your contribution, but... the prince is still young after all, and still likes the kind of support he can understand. And the queen has some things that are not convenient to talk to Lord Ye too much, so I... No, Ye'er thinks that if Lord Ye has the chance tomorrow, he can explain it to the prince himself, so as not to deepen the misunderstandings."
"Okay, I will listen to you. If I have the chance tomorrow, I will explain it to the prince myself and eliminate the possible misunderstandings between me and the prince in the bud." Ye Qing agreed readily.
Zhu Yeer was still a little nervous. The Ye Mansion was different from Xingyuan. After all, this place was the real residence of Lord Ye, not the Xingyuan that she and the queen were more familiar with. So Zhu Yeer still felt guilty at this moment.
Especially when Ye Qing got up and walked up to her and raised her chin, Zhu Ye'er's already red and uneasy cheeks instantly became more frightened. She looked at Ye Qing with some confusion and wanted to resist, but she felt reluctant to part with the tenderness between her fingers.
When Ye Qing leaned over, Zhu Yeer, who had already had a blank mind because of nervousness, subconsciously closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her whole body looked obedient as if she could pick them up.
After an hour, when Fangfei told Zhong Qing that Zhu Ye'er had left, Zhong Qing returned to the hall from the backyard. At this time, Lord Ye looked satisfied, but in Zhong Qing's eyes, he looked extremely worthy of beating.
So Lord Ye was very tactful. Before Zhong Qing could ask, he took the initiative to say, "The queen's will, I will be summoned by the prince alone when I enter the palace tomorrow. Our worries and guesses today are redundant."
When Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing's face, it was naturally difficult to tell the truth about the false at this moment. Moreover, even on weekdays, if Ye Qing wanted to deceive her, it would be difficult to tell the truth about the false. In short, since she met Ye Qing, Zhong Qing felt that she had owe this man something in her previous life, and she wanted to let her be bullied like him in this life!
The reason why Ye Qing didn't tell Zhong Qing the truth was naturally because she didn't want Zhong Qing to worry. Besides, Zhong Qing had already said a few days ago that when he returned to the north, Zhong Qing had to go with her. So for Ye Qing, it would be better to leave the things in the court alone to bear the pressure. There is no reason to continue to let Zhong Qing be frightened and scared.
