1207 Why did we meet once?

When Ye Qing watched Zhao Kuo walking towards Fengbo Pavilion, Ye Qing's heart was shaking slightly. Zhao Kuo's expression seemed a little solemn, even a little gloomy, especially his eyes, as if he was hiding something.

However, after Ye Qing thought for a moment, he seemed to understand something, and his expression instantly returned to his calmness. He said to Bi Zaiyu next to him: "Don't take a walk out of the death of Shi Miyuan in Dali Temple for the time being. From now on, no one is allowed to visit Shi Miyuan, including his son's family."

Bi Zaiyu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then stood up with Ye Qing to welcome Zhao Kuo from afar to Fengbo Pavilion. He was puzzled by the side: "Ten meters away is not... King Yan means... Is it the priest..."

"The emperor's expression should be almost the same, so Shi Miyuan is afraid that there will be a lot of danger." Ye Qing sighed slightly. Although Zhao Kuo, who was walking towards him, was indeed much more mature than before, he was obviously a little bit short of real cunning.

Bi was still half-believing and half-doubted when he met Bi, but he still didn't believe it. Ye Qing could tell from Zhao Kuo's expression that Shi Miyuan was already in trouble now, but since Ye Qing had already said it, he would naturally respect Ye Qing's intention to execute it.

As Zhao Kuo walked into the Fengbo Pavilion alone, Ye Qing's gaze was obviously much calmer than Zhao Kuo, and his attitude seemed much calmer. On the other hand, Zhao Kuo, who entered the Fengbo Pavilion, had his eyes at this time, and he almost never dared to look at Ye Qing in front of him.

"Master Bi might as well go and do it first..." Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo, who seemed a little embarrassed after entering Fengbo Pavilion, and turned around and said to Bi Zaiyu, who also felt the atmosphere of Fengbo Pavilion slightly strange.

So when Ye Qing was just halfway through his words, Bi Zaiyu hurriedly saluted Zhao Kuo again, and then ran out of Fengbo Pavilion as if he was escaping, and even pushed the soldiers around him far away, leaving Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo an absolutely private space.

Taking a deep breath and looking at Zhao Kuo, whose eyes were still wandering, Ye Qing felt a little emotional and awkward. Although he had thought about the scene when he met Zhao Kuo these days, when this moment really came, he still felt a little awkward.

Zhao Kuo was obviously not mentally prepared. At this moment, he stood in the Fengbo Pavilion and had no momentum as the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was like a slightly shy boy who saw a respected elder for the first time, and his behavior seemed a little restrained.

Fengbo Pavilion fell into a brief silence. The fragrance of flowers and birds outside made the entire Fengbo Pavilion look even more silent. A strange atmosphere slowly surrounded the two of them. In the end, Ye Qing broke the silence situation.

"Shi Miyuan was a little too anxious..." Ye Qing was unable to find a suitable greeting, so he simply led the topic to Shi Miyuan.

"You...how do you know?" Zhao Kuo was a little surprised and hurriedly looked up at Ye Qing blurted out and debuted.

Seeing Zhao Kuo finally looking directly at him, Ye Qing finally showed a normal smile on his lips. After signaling Zhao Kuo to sit down with him, he slowly said: "Just just now, you guessed your expression when you entered the Fengbo Pavilion."

Zhao Kuo frowned slightly, and his eyes were also staring at Ye Qing's direct gaze. He looked elsewhere unconsciously. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why did the King of Yan say... Why did you say that I was too aggressive in dealing with Shi Miyuan?"

"If the army is famous, it will be invincible. Shi Miyuan has been operating in the court for many years. Although he will be deterred from his gang,... he will also have an impact on other officials, just like a double-edged sword that will hurt others and yourself." Ye Qing obviously could adjust his emotions faster than Zhao Kuo. At this time, Ye Qing had returned to his calm and calm appearance in the past.

"Does the officials in the court who were not attracted by the Shi Party... think that I was wrong in executing Shi Miyuan?" At this moment, Zhao Kuo felt that Ye Qing seemed a little too cautious about Shi Miyuan's matter.

"It's not so. Instead, we should deal with Shi Miyuan when we publish Shi Miyuan's various crimes in the world. Otherwise, the officials of the court would feel uneasy because you have dealt with Shi Miyuan so hasty, and would think... As the king of the Song Dynasty, you are a..."

"In their eyes, I will become a tyrant? A tyrant who will deal with his ministers at will? I will not commit serious crimes and only depend on my own preferences?" Zhao Kuo asked in a slight surprise.

Today, when I came to Dali Temple to meet Shi Miyuan, he decided after thinking about it for several days. The reason why I had to meet Shi Miyuan in person was to know how many people know his secret now?

If Shi Miyuan knew, then Zhao Kuo would never hesitate. He must execute Shi Miyuan immediately, even other ministers and officials who know the secrets. If Shi Miyuan didn't know, he could finally let go of his worries and breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I'm too hasty." Zhao Kuo murmured suddenly, shaking his head unconsciously and continued: "But I...I didn't intend that, but I don't know why it suddenly...no, I have to stop it immediately..."

"No need, it's too late for you to pass, but you can rest assured that I have told Bi Zaiyu that Shi Miyuan's death will not be announced for the time being. From today on, including his family, we will not be able to continue visiting Shi Miyuan..." Ye Qing waved his hand and said, looking at Zhao Kuo who was about to get up.

Zhao Kuo, who had just stood up, looked at Ye Qing again, with a little frustrated expression, and still a little confused: "But I... I didn't plan to do this before coming here, but... I don't know why it was at that moment..."

Zhao Kuo was a little depressed and even hated himself a little. According to his original intention before leaving the palace, if Shi Miyuan didn't know the secrets, then he would leave Shi Miyuan to Ye Qing to deal with it. But just now, everything he did was completely contrary to the plan he had planned when he left the palace.

"This cannot be blamed entirely on you." Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo, who was a little depressed and regretful, and signaled him to sit down again, and said slowly: "Shi Miyuan is actually more cunning than you imagined. Although I don't know what you all said, if you decided not to deal with him early in the morning and changed your mind in the end, it would be nothing more than being inspired by him, or you..."

Ye Qing looked directly at Zhao Kuo, paused and said slowly: "Or you... were too proud and made a decision that almost made you regret for a moment."

Zhao Kuo was a young man after all. Since he succeeded to the throne, although he trusted Shi Miyuan quite a lot, he naturally had complaints and dissatisfaction with Shi Miyuan's solemnity in his court. It was just because he had never been able to completely take all the power of the court from Shi Miyuan's hands over the years, so he had to swallow his anger.

Today, Shi Miyuan has become a prisoner. For Zhao Kuo, he finally felt that he could finally breathe anger in his heart, and a feeling of floating in his heart would unconsciously arise in his heart, and a sense of complacency that he could finally gain the initiative to gain Shi Miyuan.

So in the end, when Zhao Kuo told Shi Miyuan his own secret, he was actually revenge for revenge, completely for the sake of quick success. When he stepped out of the room, he obviously knew that Shi Miyuan, who knew the secret, could no longer be kept. He had to kill someone to silence him, so that he could more satisfy his sense of revenge and make up for his impulse to tell Shi Miyuan his fault.

"So now..." Zhao Kuo, who was a little regretful and frustrated, looked down on his head and said suddenly: "So now, just let the Dali envoy prove that Shi Miyuan can communicate with foreign enemies..."

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo who was a little anxious and shook his head unconsciously and smiled. Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said slowly: "Shi Miyuan secretly colluded with the envoys of Dali State and even the Dali State. It is only enough to make him follow Qin Hui's sales of the country and seek prosperity. He can make the world curse him for thousands of years, but it is not enough to make the officials in the court completely convinced. The court's hasty handling of him still depends on the other crimes that Shi Miyuan has in the court over the years to convict Shi Miyuan. Because only by doing this can the entire court or the people of the world be convinced. Shi Miyuan is deserved to be executed, and your reputation as an emperor will also increase your reputation."

Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing with an incredible face. His heart was surging at this moment. He never expected that the battle between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan would be... so cruel! Terrifying! It even made people feel chilling.

He even couldn't imagine that if Ye Qing lost to Shi Miyuan this time, would Ye Qing's reputation and crime be woven by Shi Miyuan to the point where he was comparable to Qin Hui or even greater than Qin Hui?

And at that time, once his secret is exposed... then, Shu and his son... or Shi Miyuan and Shu and Shu, could have made up a charge for him, Zhao Kuo, or Shi Miyuan finally appeared in the Xin Palace that day, and he really had no intention of letting him Zhao Kuo walk out of the mansion again!

"Shi Miyuan was in the Xinwang Mansion that day, and really wanted to kill me?" Zhao Kuo asked in surprise as he looked at Ye Qing.

"Zhao Shikui is just a pawn of Shi Miyuan, and Shu Wang and his son are the puppets in Shi Miyuan's hands. Shi Miyuan's considerations are very comprehensive, including even the distrust of you in me, and also to use Zhao Shikui's achievements in the court, so he can hide behind him and do everything.

But after all, he was wrong, overestimating the ability of Zhao Shikui, the clan. Similarly, he underestimated the strength of the Huajia Army. Originally, I thought... after the night of the palace change, Shi Miyuan would be afraid of me and would never take risks. Now it seems that Shi Miyuan was forced to fight to the death."

At the end of his speech, the smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth became brighter, just as he expected Shi Miyuan. As long as Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, he would do nothing even if he did. For Shi Miyuan, he would feel the huge pressure brought by Ye Qing, and he had to guess what Ye Qing's purpose and purpose of returning to Lin'an this time.

Given the huge changes that happened to Tang Situi, Wang Huai, Zhao Ruyu, Xin Wang, Han Tuozhou, Emperor Xiaozong and others when Ye Qing returned to Lin'an a few times, these were enough to make Shi Miyuan feel like he was on his back. This forced Shi Miyuan to continue to hide behind him safely, continue to observe the entire situation in Lin'an from the perspective of bystanders, and then make strategies that are beneficial to him.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Shi Miyuan was able to fight with Ye Qing until the end. In addition to his own superior scheming, it was because Shi Miyuan was able to live in the dark, quietly examined every turbulent situation in Lin'an City, and then planned and made choices that were beneficial to him.

But this time, while Ye Qing was unchanging and responding to changes, he forced Shi Miyuan to take the initiative to come out and break the deadlock himself.

Although Zhao Shikui, Duke of Rong, could be placed openly by Shi Miyuan to attract Ye Qing's attention, and secretly colluded with Shu Wang and his son, almost concealed everyone, Zhao Shikui was really difficult to take on a great task, and his ambition to replace Shi Miyuan, Zhao Shikui was unable to compete with Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan in the entire incident.

"What should I do now?" Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing with some silence. Shi Miyuan was executed by him for a quick moment. Now the role of the envoy of Dali State is obviously not completely able to make Shi Miyuan despise by the people of the world.

"In a few days, King Qing will come back from the North. In the past year, most of the officials in various prefectures in the north were sent to the north because of Shi Miyuan's means. Now King Qing has obtained the evidence of their bribery of Shi Miyuan. In a few days, as long as these evidences of Shi Miyuan were published on the public, the remaining officials in the court, even if there are still remnants of Shi Party, they will no longer be in trouble. In this way, at least you can rest assured in the court, and there will be no need for you to remind me that someone will report to execute Shi Miyuan. Once the officials of the court reach an agreement on this matter, then the evidence of the collusion between Dali and Shi Miyuan can be published on the public, so that everyone from the court to the people will be able to say to Shi Miyuan..." Ye Qing said with a smile.

At this time, the two people unknowingly eliminated the embarrassment because of the discussion of government affairs in the court.

"Like a series of plans, this... all of this obviously requires careful planning, and it also needs to be able to develop as you think..." Zhao Kuo said with some admiration. At this time, Ye Qing was still not a treacherous image in his heart, but rather so mighty in his eyes, even making him feel like he was admiring.

"This is nothing. If you need to survive in the court every day, you will become more and more thoughtful." Ye Qing raised his head and sighed slightly, then looked at Zhao Kuo, and then hesitated and said: "After completely eradicating the Shi Party, it is the time when the court employs people. Which of the government offices is the most important. I believe you are already very clear now. Since you want to rule the court, you must be firmly in your hands. So... Except for the ministers you trust, don't give it to others easily, and you can't listen to everyone's words..."

"What do you say..." Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing with some uncertainty, and after thinking about it, he said, "Are you talking about the queen of mother...?"

"I didn't say that. All of this was your own guess, and I won't admit it." Ye Qing shook his head and said.

Zhao Kuo seemed a little thoughtful, looked at Ye Qing and said, "So, Mr. Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, should......?"

"That's your business." Ye Qing said decisively: "My duty is to... guard the border for the court, or expand the territory for the court."

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything, looking at Ye Qing who lowered his head to make tea, feeling a sense of peace for no reason. He believed that what Ye Qing said was true. Although he had not completely digested the conversation he had just had just talked with Ye Qing, he absolutely believed that if Ye Qing wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, then it would be the best opportunity to believe in the royal palace.

Just as Shi Miyuan wanted to blame Zhao Shikui and Ye Qing, Ye Qing could also blame Zhao Shikui and Shi Miyuan for all this, but in the end, Ye Qing not only did not do this, but instead protected him Zhao Kuo.

After making tea, Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo's head lowering his head and thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he continued, "If you are really determined to change the Song Dynasty from now on, then you should consider more how to make changes from the foundation. The Flower-Growing Army will always be stationed in Chang'an for these days. The Imperial Guards are seven or eight out of ten old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are no longer able to bear the mission in Lin'an. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to completely reset the Imperial Guards. As for the candidates, you can choose from various armies..."

"Then just turn the flower-planting army..." Zhao Kuo's heart moved and immediately blurted out.

But without thinking, Ye Qing was even more straightforward than him: "Don't even think about it. It's a waste of natural resources in Lin'an, and it's too wasteful..."

"Then it's up to Yan... King Yan, you will decide." Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing and said to refuse, and then hurriedly said: "Just as you said just now, if I want the Song Dynasty to completely change the world and show a vibrant appearance, then how can I still have the heart to pay attention to these things? And you also said that it is your responsibility to truly defend the border and expand the territory, so this should naturally be within your responsibilities, right?"

"Your mother won't agree." Ye Qing thought for a while, then looked at Zhao Kuo seriously and said.

"I won't tell my mother. When he knows it later, at most he will scold me. Could it be that you are still afraid... "Zhao Kuo is becoming more and more relaxed at this time, and even likes the feeling of getting along with Ye Qing at this moment. After all, none of Ye Qing's series of suggestions just now was thinking about himself, and they were completely considered from his Zhao Kuo's perspective.

More importantly, Zhao Kuo also heard from Ye Qing's serious tone that Ye Qing had no intention of being firm in the court, but was willing to continue to guard the border.

At this time, Ye Qing heard Zhao Kuo's teasing questions and unconsciously glared at the current Song Dynasty Master. After watching the current Master subconsciously shrink his neck, he said, "Did Xie Shenfu resign from you?"

"Yes." Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately said: "I still don't understand what you think? Why do you want to offend Xie Shenfu? Although I don't like him, at least this person is somewhat useful, right? And the most important thing is that his granddaughter is Xie Daoqing, you won't know? You forced him to go to Qinzheng Palace to resign. You are not afraid that he will turn around and have something to do with Xie Daoqing..."

"What are you going to do about Yan Keji? I'm afraid I've found you, right?" Ye Qing waved his hand a little annoyed and simply changed the topic again.

"Oh, I didn't see him. Actually, I know that there is some connection between him and Shi Miyuan, but since I didn't participate this time, I thought it would be better to have less than more things. By the way, let's see if you can just return those shops to him, and the court doesn't care..."

"After the autumn harvest, the imperial examination will be. Although Xie Shenfu is a scholarly character on the surface, he is still too bad compared to Zhu Xi. Keeping these old ministers is not good for the court. So this year's imperial examination can be expanded. Over the years, since Shi Miyuan's arbitrary decision was made, many officials have been suppressed by Shi Miyuan because they are disdainful of being with Shi Miyuan and have been suppressed by Shi Miyuan. So... it depends on whether you know how to recognize people..." Ye Qing changed the topic again.

Zhao Kuo also seemed to be learning and selling it on time, and suddenly asked, "You don't... plan to go back to Yanjing soon, are you?"

"Not for the time being." Ye Qing sighed, looked at Zhao Kuo, and said, "Ziqi, Luodian, including Dali... cannot always roam outside the territory of the Song Dynasty."

"This... are you really planning to... yourself..." Zhao Kuo said in surprise.

"Depending on the situation, I may not be able to lead the troops in person, nor may I not be able to go." Ye Qing gave Zhao Kuo an ambiguous answer.
