Li Lifang believed that Ye Qing had no personal grudges towards Yan Keji, but if Ye Qing was talking about Yan Keji, it was just to test Zhao Kuo's current attitude towards him, Li Lifang felt that Ye Qing's actions were a bit too much.

Yan Keji was unable to wait for reinforcements from the palace in the end. Even a eunuch or a palace maid did not appear in this street, which made Yan Keji's original desire for the palace. As the seal sealed both shops, he gradually became more and more desperate.

Li Lifang greeted Yan Keji, who was confused, and then got into his luxurious sedan that was the only one in Lin'an City. Li Lifang was thinking along the way. Although it was necessary to eradicate the root of the grass, the shops, official offices and so on in Lin'an City that had been cleaned up by him. The little profit occupied by Yan Keji's Lin'an City is really not even a drop in the bucket.

Ye Qing offended the father-in-law of the Song Dynasty for this shop and interests, which made it really difficult for Li Lifang to guess what the purpose of Ye Qing's rapid removal and suppression of Shi Miyuan's followers in Lin'an is to do so.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Xie Mansion. Xie Shenfu, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walked slowly to the carriage when Xie Daoqing got off the carriage and waved goodbye to Ye Qing.

Xie Daoqing lowered his head and made a secret grimace, but Xie Shenfu was beyond Xie Daoqing's expectations and was not angry. He just said to Xie Daoqing indifferently: "Qing'er, let's go back to the mansion first. Grandfather wants to ask the King of Yan for some court affairs."

Xie Daoqing felt relieved when he heard this. Seeing that Xie Shenfu did not blame her for going out with Ye Qing for a day, his mood suddenly felt a little relieved. After responding obediently, he quickly ran back into the Xie Mansion.

The curtain of the car was kept being lifted by Ye Qing, looking at Xie Shenfu's calm cheek, and gradually became serious after Xie Daoqing's footsteps disappeared.

The dark red lanterns made both Ye Qing and Xie Shenfu's expressions look a bit ferocious at this moment, and the atmosphere is slightly stagnant and dull.

In the end, Xie Shenfu took the lead and said, "I'll ask the King of Yan to redeem the officials. I've always had something unknown in my mind. I don't know if the King of Yan is willing to help the officials solve their doubts..."

"Did Lord Xie want to tell me about the arrest of some of the rebels in Lin'an City these days?" Ye Qing did not intend to get off the carriage, and looked at Xie Shenfu with the curtains on his carriage and asked.

Xie Shenfu's face was slightly surprised. He looked up at Ye Qing's dark red eyes under the lanterns. Then he nodded silently and said bitterly: "I believe that the King of Yan will naturally replace the Left Prime Minister Shi Miyuan to replace the court. With the talent and ability of the King of Yan, it may take no time to make the entire court follow the leader of the King of Yan. But... the lower official... the King of Yan had thought that if he killed some of the officials related to the Left Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, the consequences would be unimaginable?"

Ye Qing looked at Xie Shenfu quietly, and a casual smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Since Shi Miyuan took charge of the court, how many people have corpses and corpses? There are countless people who have formed cliques and private interests, and these people... Lord Xie, dare you ask these people who only know how to fill their own pockets, if they are not dismissed from the court, will it be beneficial and harmless to our Song Dynasty and the country?"

"But the King of Yan had thought that if all officials related to the Left Prime Minister Shi Miyuan were removed, the court would likely fall into a dilemma of no one available? Why was the King of Yan unwilling to do it slowly? Besides, many of them did not really want to follow the Left Prime Minister, but... because of the situation in the court, they had to do it." Xie Shenfu frowned with a deep worry.

"Autumn is coming soon..." Ye Qing sighed inexplicably, then looked at Xie Shenfu and said, "Mr. Xie, for the sake of Daoqing, I have to remind you here that in the court, whether it is the way of being an official or a minister, the country should be the most important, rather than weighing and compromise. There are many people who do not plan their own affairs in their positions, but seeking no mistakes but seeking no mistakes. In my opinion, these people are even more hateful than those officials who make mistakes because of the people's concerns."

Xie Shenfu frowned even deeper in an instant. To him, Ye Qing's words seemed to be more innuendoing to him. Just like when he was the Lin'an Pacifier, he wanted to make changes to the imperial guards, but the interests behind the imperial guards were complicated, which made Xie Shenfu eventually had to retreat.

In this way, he served as the Lin'an Pacifier in his mission over the years and did not do anything to Lin'an Mansion that could even satisfy him. Instead, as he grew older, the situation in the court changed, forcing him to begin to believe in the truth that he did not seek merit but did not seek mistakes.

Xie Shenfu, who looked a little embarrassed, took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qing, who was still calm and relaxed, and said bitterly: "Does the King of Yan really want to make the court hurt? Although the emperor handed over the matter of King Xin's Mansion to King Yan to deal with it with the full power, hasn't the King of Yan thought about... let some people use it for themselves? Or aren't you afraid that some people will hold a grudge against King of Yan?"

Ye Qing laughed unconsciously, looking at Xie Shenfu's expression with a slight expectation, Ye Qing shook his head helplessly, and sighed slightly: "Mr. Xie claims to be a scholar, but I don't know if you have heard the saying that the sea is full of tolerance, and the wall is strong without desire? Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you have never heard of it, because even Zhu Xi doesn't know it, I believe that Master Xie will not know it. Today, I might as well give this sentence to Lord Xie, but if Lord Xie doesn't understand it, then Ye has to persuade Lord Xie here... It's better to resign and retire and give way to others."

"King Yan... Do you think you can cover the sky with your hands in the court now?" Xie Shenfu asked with anger in his heart.

The reason why he was waiting at the door of the mansion today was that he had already made plans to bow to Ye Qing. He did the same after Ye Qing's carriage was parked at the door. But now Ye Qing obviously did not appreciate it, and even vaguely mocked himself for not seeking merits but not making mistakes in the dispatch of the pacifier.

"Although the dispatch of the Lin'an Pacifier is important, the emperor has always been asked about this matter personally, but if it is

If Lord Xie still holds the idea of ​​not seeking merit but seeking nothing wrong, Lord Xie must not be able to get it. Of course, if Lord Xie doesn't believe it, he can ask the Lord during the court meeting tomorrow. By the way, Ye will still not go to the court tomorrow, and will continue to remove the remnants of Shi Dang, including some other corpse-positioners who do not plan their own affairs in his position." Ye Qing's easy-going smile gradually became cold, and then he patted the carriage, and Xu Han immediately urged the horse to slowly drive away from the door of Xie's mansion.

Xie Shenfu looked at the carriage gradually submerged in the night, and his heart became heavier and heavier, and his mind was echoing for a long time. The saying Ye Qing just said was full of rivers, and tolerance was great, and the wall stood thousands of feet high, and without desire, he was strong.

The sea is surrounded by all rivers, and it is large tolerant. The wall stands thousands of feet high. If there is no desire, it is strong. Therefore, at this time, it is not to mention Xie Shenfu, even some more famous scholars such as Zhu Xi did not know this sentence.

Ye Qing picked it up at will not only make Xie Shenfu think about it all night, but even Zhao Kuo couldn't help but let his eyes go away after knowing this sentence, and he had to change his impression of Ye Qing again in his heart.

The sunlight gradually rose and was about to reach the top of his head shone directly into the imperial study room of Qinzheng Hall. Zhao Kuo was chewing on this sentence unconsciously. Han Ying was also thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and at the bottom of the two, the respectful Xie Shenfu was standing.

After thinking about it all night, Xie Shenfu now wanted to resign, but in the morning court this day, the Minister of Personnel had been taken away from the mansion by Dali Temple early in the morning, which forced Xie Shenfu to directly meet Zhao Kuo and resign.

In recent days, officials in the court will absent from the court meeting almost every day, but like today, even the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Works Li Xinchuan were taken away from his mansion early in the morning by Dali Temple. This is the first time.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xie Shenfu's memorial for resigning, and a feeling of helplessness arose in his heart. What made him even more worried at this moment was that in addition to Xie Shenfu in the imperial study room, there was also a... Yan Keji standing outside the Qinzheng Hall.

Although Xie Shenfu's purpose was to resign, Zhao Kuo could also hear from the inquiry just now that Xie Shenfu in front of him was not so much about coming to him to resign, but rather impeaching Ye Qing's various actions in Lin'an.

Zhao Kuo knew that the one outside was not aware of. Yan Keji was also looking for him after going to court today, which must be related to the shops that Ye Qing conferred Yan Keji last night.

Zhao Kuo, who was a little confused and helpless, obviously did not focus on the memorial of Xie Shenfu's resignation, nor on Yan Keji, who was basking in the sun outside. Instead, he kept thinking in his mind. What exactly did he want to do now that King Yan is so bold to eliminate dissidents?

"This... you go back first. I need to think about this matter carefully." Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, put the memorial in his hand back to the table, raised his head to look at Xie Shenfu, who looked quite hopeful.

"Master, although I am old and weak, I may no longer be able to receive the entrustedness of the sage. But... I still want to report to the sage when I am leaving, which is about the King of Yan..." Xie Shenfu thought that Zhao Kuo's first reaction would be to refuse his resignation, but now it is obvious that everything that happened is completely different from what he imagined.

And more importantly, the emperor turned a deaf ear to Ye Qing's accusations inside and outside, and even did not even have any dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's elimination of dissidents in Lin'an City, which made Xie Shenfu feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Oh, you talk about the matter of King Yan, this matter... I already know this. As the comfort envoy of Lin'an Prefecture, Lord Xie naturally needs to cooperate." Zhao Kuo unconsciously began to muddle, ignoring Han Ying, who had instantly stared at Han Ying, who was even bigger than the copper bell, walked to Xie Shenfu and helped Xie Shenfu up and continued, "Lord Xie doesn't have to worry about King Yan. King Yan does this... Of course... Of course, he has his intentions. Of course, I... I am also very clear about this matter..."

Zhao Kuo's hesitation made Xie Shenfu feel a little uncomfortable. Han Ying next to him was already shocked by Zhao Kuo's words.

Han Ying absolutely did not believe that Zhao Kuo knew all the actions of Ye Qing in Lin'an in the past few days. She was sure that if Xie Shenfu, who was the Lin'an pacifier, reported the report today, Zhao Kuo would have thought that Lin'an was still peaceful now and was not at the point where everyone in the court was in danger.

But now Zhao Kuo said that he knew all Ye Qing’s every move in Lin'an City, and not only did he not oppose Ye Qing’s misconduct in Lin'an City, but he even wanted to let the Lin'an appeasement envoy obey Ye Qing’s orders!

This made Han Ying feel even more shocked: What exactly happened that made Zhao Kuo's improvement in Ye Qing change in such a short time?

Xie Shenfu originally wanted Zhao Kuo to be fair to him, but looking at Zhao Kuo pushing his arm, he had no choice but to sigh, and after saluting again, he walked out of the imperial study room lonely.

As Xie Shenfu walked out of the imperial study room, Han Ying planned to invite Yan Keji into the imperial study room, but Zhao Kuo, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed his arm.

"Don't hurry to greet Yan Keji..." Zhao Kuo raised his head and sighed speechlessly, and then thought for a while: "Yan Keji's meeting was nothing more than because the King of Yan had enthroned several of his shops. The queen had already told me clearly last night..."

"But you... really don't plan to stop it, and you have to let Ye... King Yan continue to act recklessly?" Han Ying's heart began to feel a little thrust. At this time, Zhao Kuo was completely unprepared for Ye Qing, and judging from this situation, he planned to continue to let Ye Qing go in Lin'an City.

"Let's not talk about Yan Keji for now." Zhao Kuo waved his hand helplessly, his expression was filled with sorrow. He walked back to the chair and sat down. He leaned on his chin with his hands and thought for a while and said, "What are you thinking about? He detained Shi Miyuan to clear the corruption in the court. I understand that he asked Dali Temple to take Li Xinchuan away today. I understand Lou Yu, even if he and Yan Keji are not in trouble, I can understand, but why did he offend Xie Shenfu?"

Zhao Kuo's face was full of confusion. That day at the Xinwang Mansion, Xie Daoqing protected Ye Qing repeatedly, so even a blind man could see that the relationship between Ye Qing and Xie Daoqing was definitely not an elder or younger generation.

A relationship like that is completely a relationship between men and women.

Since it is a relationship between men and women, then Ye Qing shouldn't have offended Xie Shenfu. After all, no matter what, Xie Shenfu is Xie Daoqing's grandfather. How could it be beneficial to Ye Qing if he offends and suppresses Xie Shenfu? How could it be beneficial to the love between him and Xie Daoqing?!

"But... it may be that the King of Yan not only wants to take charge of the court, but even Lin'an Mansion wants to take charge of Lin'an Mansion, right?" Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's sad face. At this time, she was completely unable to figure out what Zhao Kuo thought of Ye Qing. After thinking about it, she continued to say: "Your Majesty, don't forget, after the Confident Prince's Mansion, you gave this matter completely to King Yan for handling. The King of Yan had transferred all the imperial guards in Lin'an City at the first time, and then let the Chuanghua family army enter various barracks in Lin'an City. So... Could it be that this incident made King Yan dissatisfied with Xie Shenfu?"

"Impossible." Zhao Kuo decisively rejected: "The imperial guards have been transferred from Lin'an City, and the Hua family army has also entered Lin'an City. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Even if Xie Shenfu opposes it, it is useless. Moreover, with the personality of the King of Yan, since he has done it, he is not afraid of others impeachment... But here comes again. King of Yan transferred all the imperial guards from Lin'an City. What do he want to do? Could it be that he completely abandoned the imperial guards?"

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Han Ying finally put down a huge rock in her heart, thinking with some gratitude: Now it seems that the emperor has obviously not ignored the fact that Lin'an City is actually completely under the control of Ye Qing.

So at this time, Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo who was puzzled and gradually reminded: "So you must be prepared for it now. The Hua family army has all entered Lin'an City. Even in the palace... because the Empress Dowager is guarding, there will be no mistakes, but... Is it a bit inappropriate to see Lin'an City being completely taken over by the King of Yan?"

Han Ying reminded carefully that after saying that, he was like Xie Shenfu just now, with a look of hope, hoping that Zhao Kuo could issue an order, even if it was to dispatch troops from other places to replace Ye Qing's Hua family army. In short, Ye Qing could not completely control the city defense and safety of Lin'an City. After all, this would be a bit too dangerous for Zhao Kuo and even the entire royal family.

But at this time, Zhao Kuo's reaction, who was leaning on his chin with both hands, was once again beyond Han Ying's expectations, and even made Han Ying feel angry that he was not fighting.

Zhao Kuo leaned on his chin with his hands, his eyes seemed a little empty, and he shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if the Hua family army is in Lin'an City, it's nothing... What I am mainly worried about now is that if he continues like this, he may cause trouble for me, and who else will come to Qinzheng Hall to impeach him, so then will I still have to follow the lead?"

Han Ying's eyes almost fell to the ground, looking at Zhao Kuo incredibly. At this time, he was not worried about the safety of Lin'an City, the palace and even his own. He was just worried that Ye Qing would still do anything wrong in Lin'an City?

And after carefully thinking about Zhao Kuo's words, it seemed... he did not intend to stop Ye Qing from continuing to do anything wrong in Lin'an, and even was willing to abide by everything Ye Qing did in Lin'an City.

"No..." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo with a worried face, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade Zhao Kuo. The most important thing at the moment, in Han Ying's opinion, should be to find an official who could control Ye Qing's influence in the court and Lin'an City, rather than because of Ye Qing's misconduct, Zhao Kuo was implicated.

"Master, if you want to avoid being implicated by the King of Yan's every move in Lin'an, you can only find a minister who can compete with the King of Yan in Lin'an City immediately. Even mobilizing a large army from other roads..." Han Ying said anxiously for Zhao Kuo.

"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean." Zhao Kuo, who came to his senses, looked at Han Ying who was worried for him, unconsciously remembered that when he was in the palace of King Xin, Han Ying was able to stand in front of him to protect himself under the powerful pressure of Ye Qing. The feeling of being willing to live and die together was like nectar and jade liquid for Zhao Kuo. Whenever he remembered him, he felt extremely happy and comfortable.

"Master, is it..." Han Ying looked at Zhao Kuo incredibly, and showed a foolish tenderness and sweetness to her, and said directly: "I... haven't you seen the situation clearly yet? The troops in Lin'an and even the palace are all led by the King of Yan. With the power of King Yan in the north, once the officials in the court are all subdued by him, don't you think it's dangerous and don't worry about King Yan's sudden rebellion..."

"Worried about the rebellion of King Yan?" Zhao Kuo looked at Han Ying and asked, and Han Ying nodded like a pecking rice.

However, Zhao Kuo looked at the nervous Han Ying and couldn't help laughing out loud, then hurriedly said, "By the way, I'll remind you again, don't tell your mother what the King of Yan did in Lin'an City these days..."

"No...this...what do you mean?" Han Ying was even more confused at this time. She could no longer understand Zhao Kuo at this moment.

Zhao Kuo, who was in front of him, had locked himself in the Qinzheng Hall for several days, now seemed to have changed, and even Han Ying was a little confused.

"Don't worry, King Yan will not rebel, so he will not be stupid enough to rebel, let alone..." Zhao Kuo's expression was relaxed, but gradually became a little serious at this time. He looked at the afternoon sunlight outside the window behind him and murmured: "The Song Dynasty has been...stolen for the sun."

"What did you say?" Han Ying didn't hear clearly. What did Zhao Kuo mutter to himself when he looked at the afternoon sun.
