With Li Lifang's extremely vain virtue, Ye Qing was sure that as long as he gave him this sedan chair, it would be much more convenient for him to be greedy or embezzle the silver. And more importantly, he would definitely be much more silver than Zheng Qingzhi who could embezzle the Minister of Revenue.
So if someone creates such a sedan chair and gives it to Li Lifang, and then exchanges for money that is far better than this sedan chair. No matter how Lord Ye calculates the calculation, it will not be a loss.
After taking Chongguo Duke Zhao Shichun to the seven-sided and eight-line streets of Jinan City, and then threw Zhao Shichun to the entrance of the inn again, Lord Ye walked up the mansion with satisfaction. At this time, it must have been because of important matters that Zhong Daren, who was looking for him, should have reminded King Qing in front of King Qing: Perhaps Kaifeng is the capital of Liudu, which is now aggressive in the north and is likely to have independent troops.
The official sedan stopped in front of the mansion, and Jia She followed Ye Qing into the mansion and reported to Ye Qing about the sneaky Mongols along the way today.
"The Mongols follow us? Did you read that right?" Ye Qing frowned slightly, and looked at Jia She with some disbelief.
"It's true." Jia She nodded confidently and said, "Sir, when you entered the inn, Mo Jiang saw several sneaky Mongolians at the entrance of the teahouse opposite. After the adults took Duke Chong to try the official sedan chair together, the Mongolians who were originally standing at the entrance of the teahouse still followed him to the entrance of the teahouse again. There were those faces along the way. If we counted, Mo Jiang had met them three times in the past two hours, which would never be a coincidence."
Ye Qing frowned, with a serious expression. He walked towards the backyard of the mansion and thought, "Since you are so sure, then find an opportunity to explore the Mongolian inn, and also, ask Mo Xiaobaoyidu what happened there, how long has it been? Have the tyrants of small places not been completed yet?"
After watching Jia She take the order and leave, Ye Qing slowly walked back to the backyard. Fangfei, who had been working hard all the way, smiled when she saw Mr. Ye, and then came over.
Some family stories about Yangzhou were spoken from Fangfei's mouth, and Ye Qing sat in the garden pavilion, listening and echoing from time to time. A man and a woman spent a short afternoon leisurely until Zhong Qing walked to the two of them unhappily.
"Did you remind King Qing?" Ye Qing looked at the unhappy face of the beauty Zhong, took the tea from Fangfei and hurriedly delivered it to Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing nodded, looked at Ye Qing with a hint of complaint, and then he said in a slightest bit of grievance: "I always feel that King Qing is unbearable in this design. King Qing is honest and honest, and has never had any bad intentions. Even at the beginning, he could give the throne to the Supreme Emperor Zhao Dun without any complaints. He has been working hard for so many years. He will go wherever the royal family let him go without complaints. He is just concerned about Zhao Song, so he takes the royal family first in everything."
Faced with Zhong Qing's unbearableness, Ye Qing remained silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "As a royal family, he has been living a life of luxury and food since he was born, and is respected. All this seems to be a matter of course, but it also needs to be maintained at a price. Nothing in this world is in vain. Even a royal family that is not in dispute can either make the glory given by the royal family disappear into the end, or use others or be used by others. No matter any royal family, as long as he still wants to do his part for Zhao Songjiangshan, he should bear these things. Since it has something to do with the court, then he should be prepared like this. What's more... If King Qing is unwilling to persuade the Supreme Emperor to abdicate, even if I, Ye Qing, put a knife on his neck, would be useless. Since he did, it means that he has already made all his mental preparations."
Ye Qing's expression was also not good-looking. Fangfei, who was standing beside her, secretly pulled Zhong Qing's sleeve. She had just arrived today and was not very clear about what happened between Zhong Qing and Ye Qing during this period. So when they saw that the two of them made the atmosphere so depressing today, they could only listen silently from the side.
"I have something to do, so I'll go to the study room first." Ye Qing glanced at Zhong Qing, who was still depressed, and then got up and walked towards the study room.
After watching Ye Qing's back disappear from the moon gate, Fangfei looked at Zhong Qing with a helpless look at her sad Zhong Qing: "Madam..."
"It's okay, it's me... I shouldn't have spoken like this." Zhong Qing bit her lip, and her eyes turned a little red.
"You are in Jinan Prefecture these days, and you won't... won't always be..." Fangfei asked at a loss.
Zhong Qing shook her head, her eyes were still red, but the tears she had to hold back never shed: "It's not his fault, it's because I'm not good, it's because I don't know him now."
Ye Qing is now using everything. As long as it is related to the court, Ye Qing never cares whether his methods are open and upright or despicable or insidious. He will pick them up and use them as long as they are beneficial to him.
Of course, Zhong Qing also knew that as a court official, especially an important official with a high position as Ye Qing, there was no longer any distinction between right and wrong in them.
Whether it is right or wrong, they are already confused with important officials of such high positions, and they cannot see right or wrong or black and white in them. Similarly, they no longer care about right or wrong, black and white.
Such important officials, such as Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing, Liu Zheng and others, are only concerned about their political ambitions in the court, whether they can be realized through their means, and whether they have enough strength and bargaining chips to compete with their political opponents.
What are treacherous and treacherous and loyal ministers? Once Shi Miyuan, a minister like Ye Qing’s high position does not define whether he is a treacherous or loyal person through his own words and deeds. Obviously, the standard answers for treacherous and loyal person can be defined through their strategies for governing the country and ensuring national stability or political achievements.
The so-called people's eyes are bright, but when the concepts of war and harmony collide in the court, what the people can consider is often like the integrity and integrity of literati and scholars, and most of the time they rely on their patriotic passion to judge and act impulsively.
Naturally, the height of the people cannot look at everything as high as Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, so they will never be as high as Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan. As important officials as Shi Miyuan must be concerned about too many factors.
Since ancient times, there have been many changes in the situation. He does not judge heroes by success or failure. However, in the end, one must decide the outcome of loyalty and treason in the court. Whoever wins will be able to decide the court, and then define the identity of loyalty and treason for his opponents based on his own political achievements.
Of course, the court won the party struggle, but the political ambition ended in failure and would inevitably be recorded as a slander in history. Qin Hui and Yue Fei were like this. One lost the court struggle, but left his name in history for his loyalty, while the other won the court struggle, but eventually knelt down for a thousand years.
But whether it is Qin Hui or Yue Fei, it is believed that if the people do not know their identities, it is difficult for the people to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, who is good or bad.
Just like when we see a corrupt official before the incident, it is difficult for us to determine whether he is good or bad. If he rises to a higher level, then where is there any difference between right and wrong? Some are just party struggles with different ideas of governing the country.
If Ye Qing or Shi Miyuan does not indicate his identity, one is just an easy-going middle-aged man, and the other is just a rich middle-aged businessman. Moreover, if it were not for Ye Qing's unexpected advance, the two of them would have a fight and harmony. It would be obvious that it would be difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong.
Moreover, even though Ye Qing is now able to predict the situation, the current situation is no longer the same as the struggle between Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan in the historical trajectory. Shi Miyuan gained the upper hand between one battle and one, but in the end the two did not decide the winner in history books. Or Han Tuozhou, who was in charge of the battle, had a slightly better reputation than Shi Miyuan.
Although Ye Qing will not repeat the mistakes of Han Tuozhou, if he fails, his fate will only be worse than Han Tuozhou.
So now Ye Qing, whether for his reputation or for the inheritance of Chinese civilization, has to bite the bullet and go all out to complete this unknown path.
Mo Xiaobao in the study was already waiting for him. Looking at Ye Qing's rare gloomy face, Mo Xiaobao's heart tightened slightly. After Ye Qing sat down, he began to take the initiative to say: "I just received the news from Yidu, so Mo Jiang rushed over immediately."
"What's the situation over there?" Ye Qing looked up and squeezed out a smile. To be honest, he knew some of Zhong Qing's thoughts now, and sometimes even he himself despises himself a little, and now he uses all kinds of tricks.
"It's almost over. Wanyan Yongji has a lot of thoughts. He doesn't want to offend you or let them take the blame for the Jin Kingdom. He also wants the best of both worlds. He hopes that Zhong Can help him suppress Yan Ning in Yidu and don't spread it. But how could Zhong Can make him happy? So it was because of this matter that it took so long to solve it." Mo Xiaobao looked at Ye Qing's face gradually becoming easy-going, and his heart also relaxed slightly.
"From today on, some guards will be added inside and outside the inn where King Qing and Duke Chongguo are located. If there is really insufficient staff, some can be drawn from the army of the Hua family." Ye Qing nodded. The matter in Yidu was solved sooner or later, and even if it was delayed, it would be no harm to him.
The reason why he was a little anxious is that the Mongolians pressed each step, Mu Huali and Borshu still ran over and annoyed him every few days, and Ye Qing, not to mention that Wanyan Yongji was not in Jinan Prefecture at this time, so he naturally gave Mu Huali and Borshu a glimmer of hope. Similarly, it also made the two of them curious about where Wanyan Yongji went.
"You are talking about the Mongolian things Jia She said, right?" Mo Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, since there are Mongols following you, it won't be a good thing. If it were a good thing, Mu Huali and Bolshu would have told me first so that they would not follow me sneakily. But..." Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It may also be for King Qing and Duke Chongguo, so it's still necessary to be more careful."
Mo Xiaobao nodded. Although he didn't believe that the Mongolians dared to make any small moves in Jinan Prefecture, King Qing and Duke Chong were royal families after all. If something happened in Jinan Prefecture, even if Ye Qing had sufficient evidence to prove that it was done by the Mongolians, would the court really believe it? It was two different things.
