1391 Envoys(1/2)
At this time, the hall in Jinfeng Building was already in a noisy place. The madam and the shopkeeper were respectfully talking to the constables in the government.
Not far away, there were still Ye Wuque who was angry and Tuo Lei who looked calm, while Li Yun, who looked leisurely and contented, looked at everything in front of him.
He was naturally not afraid of going to the government, and even met his wishes. After all, in addition to letting these two young men who offended him suffer, he could naturally shock other guests in the Golden Phoenix Tower, including the madam and the shopkeeper. I am afraid that he would be even more respectful when he sees him again in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is to use the government's hands to shock Jinfenglou and the guests who often come to Jinfenglou will also let Hua Niang see how powerful she is, which will also make others stay away from Hua Niang.
Ye Qing and Zhao Shichun walked out of the private room calmly at this time, but did not go downstairs.
The people downstairs are crowded, and the view is not necessarily better than the view that you stand on the railings on the second floor and look down.
So at this time, the two of them stood at the railing, watching the noisy situation below, without any worry, and even planned to continue watching.
Zhao Shichun was a little surprised that Ye Qing was indifferent and Youran, and said in confusion: "Are you really not afraid that the little nerd will suffer?"
Ye Qing looked at Ye Wuque standing shoulder to shoulder with Tuolei in the crowd, with a relaxed smile on his face and said lightly: "This kid is probably smarter than I thought. He looks like a nerd on weekdays, but..."
Ye Qing turned to look at Zhao Shichun, thought for a while and said, "But sometimes I also think that this kid might be hiding his weakness."
"Hide your weakness? Why do you need to hide your weakness?" Zhao Shichun asked with some surprise.
Ye Qing did not answer Zhao Shichun's question directly, and thought for a while and said, "Either he is really a nerd or he is just forbearing. But if he knows how to tolerate in the grade, I'm afraid even my father will be surprised."
Zhao Shichun was puzzled, but this time he did not continue to ask questions. He believed that Ye Qing would continue to talk or analyze.
Ye Qing turned his head and looked at the hall below. Ye Wuque walked up to negotiate with the constable. From time to time, he pointed at Li Yun not far away, and continued, "The eldest son likes to dance with swords and guns, but his second son just happens to like to dance with writing. Don't you think I, Ye Qing, are so lucky?"
"The Gucheng likes martial arts, and Wuque is good at writing. Isn't this your plan for them?" Zhao Shichun said in surprise.
Ye Qing has two sons and two daughters. Let’s not talk about his two sons. Just talk about his two sons. The eldest son has liked military affairs since he was a child, such as swords and guns, and he likes to go into the military if he has something to do or not.
The second son Ye Wuque is completely different from the eldest. He usually greets elders and so on in the mansion, and even a little dull. Then he takes books in the mansion and does his own way in the academy. He does not give people the feeling of lack of education, but he does not give people the impression of being well-educated.
It is precisely because of this that the name of the little nerd gradually spread in the mansion and in some familiar circles. However, some people who know the contrast between the two brothers will blame the brothers for their literary and military affairs, which Ye Qing planned for them as a child. No one would believe that this is the natural preference of the two brothers.
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I heard Qingcheng talk about it when I was a child. At that time, Wuque still liked to play behind Gucheng's butt, but as he grew older, he began to like books. The specific reason..."
"What is it?" Zhao Shichun felt moved inside, and felt that what Ye Qing was going to say next was probably something he didn't know.
"I only knew about it when I was having dinner with Qingcheng and the others in my mansion today. Wuque's transformation... roughly started with the court battle between me and Shi Miyuan. However, Qingcheng didn't care at that time, thinking that it was just a child's character, and he didn't care much. But unexpectedly, from that time on, Wuque no longer followed Gucheng's butt and shouted to play with his elder brother, but began to become more and more motivated about studying and literacy."
"Of course, I don't really believe in these things. But... When I saw the complementary relationship between Wanyan Congyi, the governor of Yanjing, and his brother Wanyan Congxian, I couldn't help but wonder if this little nerd was really hiding his weakness?"
Zhao Shichun looked at Ye Qing quietly, and his heart was involuntarily shaken. After thinking for a while, he said, "If this is true, wouldn't he have misread this little nerd at the beginning?"
"Although the boss Gucheng's personality is not as ostentatious, it is obviously much more normal than Wuque's restrainedness. In addition, he has been in the army for so long, so it is obviously easier for people to be the focus of attention in the mansion. As for the little nerd... most of the time, the mansion cannot detect his existence." Ye Qing smiled, then raised his head and sighed: "So, it's hard for me to believe that this little nerd is so cunning at a young age, but it's a coincidence. I'm afraid you don't believe it, right?"
Zhao Shichun followed Ye Qing and then said with some joking meaning: "If you are really smart, that's nothing. After all, isn't his father just a very cunning hero?"
"Haha... I'll listen to your words as a compliment to my father and son." Ye Qing said happily.
Zhao Shichun restrained his smile, looked at the crowd still quarreling below, shook his head and sighed, "If this is the case, then we will really underestimate this little nerd. And his hidden weakness... Isn't it the same as Gucheng's deep-rooted army?" u2028 "What kind of virtue is that I, Ye Qing, can have such two sons?" Ye Qing was not sure whether he was more relieved or more emotional at this moment.
Although he really wanted to think about that, he always felt that in Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque's grade, he would not think so long, unless... someone in the mansion secretly taught them something, such as Liu Keshi, Yu Yunwen and others. Could it be that they had told these two kids that one would be Xiang Wen and the other would be Chongwu, so that they hoped to share some pressure in the court as soon as possible? Or did they hope to grow up early to protect their family?
"But if it is true, you, Ye Qing, will wake up from your dreams." Zhao Shichun sighed sincerely.
"So at this time, Zhao Kuo chose to give them a marriage, which seemed more reasonable." Ye Qing suddenly said something, which scared Zhao Shichun to look at Ye Qing involuntarily.
"What do you mean is... the emperor realized that Wuque was not a nerd? And the reason he chose to give marriage was to..." Zhao Shichun said here and said with a clear understanding: "No wonder Gucheng can become the commander of the imperial guards. The starting point is much higher than that of the small imperial guards you were back then. So Wuque... If he also gets the emperor's kindness..."
"At most, I was sent to the Ministry of Personnel. It is impossible for the Minister of the Secretariat to be a member of the Inspector... I'm afraid Zhao Kuo still has the courage and skills." Ye Qing said lightly.
Zhao Shichun's eyes at Ye Qing gradually became complicated. He never doubted Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque's future in the Song court was bright. He also believed that no matter what choice Ye Qing made in the end or what compromise he made with the court, it would not affect the future path of Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque. After all, Ye Qing, who was scheming and cunning, would pave the way for his two sons no matter what.
The reason why Zhao Shichun's eyes when he looked at Ye Qing was complicated was mainly because of some rumors that had been circulating among the people for a long time: that was the relationship between Ye Qing and the current empress dowager Li Fengniang, as well as the real life experience of the current emperor Zhao Kuo.
If the real life experience of the current emperor Zhao Kuo... is like folk rumors, then coupled with Ye Gucheng, who is now entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Kuo, and Ye Wuque, who may be highly valued in the future, will the future structure of the Song Dynasty be Zhao Kuo in the middle, and Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque are on the left and right?
What is even more shocking is naturally the real relationship between the three of them. If this relationship is an iron-like fact, it means that an inbreakable iron triangle is formed between the three of them, with Zhao Kuo as the main body, Ye Gucheng, and Ye Wuque as the complement of both literature and martial arts!
As if he guessed something Zhao Shichun was thinking about, as if he was looking forward to these things, Ye Qing smiled and said, "But no one can tell the truth about the future. It's better to leave it to the future. Let's leave it to future people to make a decision."
"It seems that I, Zhao Shichun, have no choice at all for this marriage." Zhao Shichun murmured.
"Those who know the times are heroes." Ye Qing patted Zhao Shichun on the shoulder, and Zhao Shichun gave Ye Qing a speechless look: "You are getting a bargain and being good at it. But when it comes to the front, no matter what the future of Ye Gucheng or that little nerd is, those two girls in my family... If one day they really marry into your Ye family, both of them must be their own families, and they must not be wronged. Otherwise..."
"Don't worry, if they dare to let me watch the two grown-up girls suffer a little grievance, I promise to interrupt their legs." Ye Qing hurriedly assured Zhao Shichun.
Zhao Shichun still glared at Ye Qing, who was acting like a good person, and snorted: "You are watching you grow up? Today I went to my mansion. You have recognized the two girls as wrong. This also makes you watch you grow up? In short, no matter what, don't make me feel sad."
"That's impossible. After so many years of friendship, even if I am sorry to anyone, I will not be sorry to you." Ye Qing hurriedly said with a pleasing suspicion.
At this time, after some things were confirmed, it was obvious that the friendship between Ye Qing and Zhao Shichun was obviously becoming more and more profound, and some factors gradually emerged in the intimacy that made the two of them work together.
The constable in the hall received a gesture from Li Yun's eyes and did not intend to bring people into the government to make a case. After all, if they were brought to the government, it would not be able to achieve the most direct deterrent effect. This was obviously something that Li Yun didn't want to see.
So of course he hoped that those constables could intimidate everyone present in public, give him enough face, and then take the two teenagers away. Whether in the eyes of the guests of Jinfenglou or Hua Niang and others, he might have to regard himself as a noble person he can't afford to offend in the future, right?
The madam and the shopkeeper communicated with each other with their eyes. Naturally, they did not want things to go big, which would not only affect their business, but also allow the fisherman to take advantage of the opportunity, so they nodded and bowed for a long time, hoping to make big things turn into small things.
The head constable pointed to Li Yun who was leisurely and contented, and sneered: "Okay, since the shopkeeper wants to settle the matter, he has to ask if the person involved is satisfied? As for these two people... they are afraid they will be taken to the government office to ask questions."
"What about him? Wouldn't he go to the government office with you for inquiries?" Ye Wuque asked in a deep voice.
When the madam and the shopkeeper saw that the nerd was using words to stimulate the detective, they wanted to stuff the golden pars in his hand into Ye Wuque's mouth and block his mouth. After all, if it weren't for his series of tough words and attitudes that offended the detective, this matter would have been resolved long ago.
Although Tuo Lei was very brave, he also knew that the heroes would not suffer the loss in front of him. At this time, he looked at the constables clearly towards Li Yun and said secretly in Ye Wuque's ear: "The heroes would not suffer the loss in front of him, and you don't think about it. In such a short time, the constables arrived here, obviously prepared. It is not certain that this matter was intentional, deliberately targeting you or me."
"What are you deliberately targeting you and me?" Ye Wuque turned around and whispered to Tolei: "The reason why the constable comes so quickly is not because he is prepared, but because there are often troubles caused by drunkenness in these places, so the government will focus on these places. No matter when, there will be constables nearby, and sometimes there will be imperial guards patrolling nearby."
"But this Li Yun is obviously in the same group as those constables. At this time, we are weak and will suffer losses if we confront them." Tolei whispered.
"Don't be afraid of losing." Ye Wuque's expression looked like a pedantic nerd, and he sneered: "Hmph, I wish I could make things bigger, and see who would suffer when I see it."
Tuo Lei rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling that the nerd's stubborn temper was coming up again, and he didn't say much at the moment.
Although they only met Ye Wuque today, both of them were quite interested in each other's appetites, so when Ye Wuque did not intend to give in, Tuo Lei did not intend to throw Ye Wuque away and stay out of the matter. At this time, a pair of wolf-like eyes began to stare at the constables, weighing in his heart how much chance of winning would be if he suddenly took action, and whether he could take Ye Wuque out from the siege of these constables.
Li Yun is Li Bi's nephew. In addition to Li Bi, he is also an official in the court. Although his situation is not good in the court, those things have not spread among the people yet, and even the worrying situation in the court has not yet affected the Li family. This makes Li Yun now able to rely on his uncle's power in the court, and he can also rely on his father's background to do whatever he wants in Jinfeng Tower and even Yanjing City.
But today he obviously met the nemesis. Even when facing the official constable who was obviously biased towards Li Yun, the nerdy boy seemed to be incompetent and could not see it at all like a blind man, and he was still stubborn to ask Li Yun to compensate him.
If Li Yun did not pay him a book of Tang, he would never give up. Even if he was arrested in the government jail, he would not easily admit defeat.
Li Yun is still holding the broken Tang Shu in his hand, shaking Ye Wuque with a hint of provocation, and then said in front of everyone: "What can you do if I don't compensate you?"
"It is natural to kill someone and repay your life, and you will have to pay for your debts. If you don't pay, you will have to pay. Moreover, this is an isolated book commented by Mr. Zhu Xi, not a simple Tang book." Ye Wuque looked at Li Yun hatefully and said.
Li Yun smiled, not caring about Ye Wuque's nerd-like eyes. If he had been in the court just now, he might have been afraid of Ye Wuque because of Tuo Lei's back, but now in front of many government constables, he doesn't believe that the wild boy with good skills dares to take action.
"Even if you are going to disappoint you." Li Yun said proudly: "Let me say that, I will not compensate you for this book of Tang annotated by Zhu Xi, but also for you to compensate for the things that were broken and smashed by you in the private room. Of course, today's consumption in Jinfeng Tower... you have to take it out as much as possible, otherwise, you wouldn't have to report to the official, but I would have to report to the official and let you go to the prison."
"I won't lose a penny of money, but you should pay my book, and you should pay me too." Ye Wuque said toughly, and then he watched the lead constable give a look at the other constables, and it seemed that he was about to take someone.
At this time, the madam and the shopkeeper couldn't care about so much. At present, they just hope that this matter would be resolved quickly. As for whether these two teenagers could get compensation, they didn't care about the funeral that had been taken away by the government.
Zhao Shichun, who was on the railing on the second floor, whispered a few words to the entourage beside him, turned around and smiled at Ye Qing, saying, "I really don't want to believe this matter if it is a coincidence, but today's incident...it seems to be a coincidence."
"It seems that you know Li Yun's identity
?" Ye Qing glanced downstairs and asked.
Zhao Shichun nodded: "Although I do not participate in the government affairs, I also know that since Xie Shenfu was exiled to Jiaxing, Xu Yi, Li Bi and others have been in Yanjing. Although the court has not yet pursued them openly, it is obvious that they have begun to investigate secretly. Li Yun is Li Bi's nephew and the son of Li He, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not recognize the whole family."
Zhao Shichun's last words were obviously joking. After all, although he did not care about the affairs of the court, he did not mean that he was not clear about what happened in the court.
Several people led by Xie Shenfu have been targeting Ye Qing in the court this year. After the New Year, Xie Shenfu has been exiled, but Xu Yi, Li Bi and others are still in the court.
Today, Ye Wuque and Tuo Lei accidentally encountered a friction with Li Yun. This incident... is not so much a coincidence, but more convincing than a carefully designed plan.
Now the Minister of Personnel is the left prime minister of the current dynasty, and the vacancy of the right prime minister and the vacancy of the Minister of Personnel are all popular. Li Yun's father, Li He, as the Right Minister of Personnel, and his qualifications are much older than the Left Minister of Personnel, and naturally, he became the best candidate for the Minister of Personnel.
But the fact now is that after Lou Yi was promoted, the main affairs of the Ministry of Personnel were all led by Yelu Chucai, and Li He, the right assistant minister, was still suppressed by someone.
Li Bi, Xu Yi and others have also met Zhao Kuo several times. The general meaning is that they hope that the Ministry of Personnel will be under the jurisdiction of Li He, but Zhao Kuo has not made any decisions for a long time, and even took the right prime minister in the court and had not yet chosen to swear other court officials.
Xu Yi, Li Bi and Han Yanjia are all powerful candidates for the right prime minister of the dynasty. However, compared with Li Bi and Xu Yi, the status of the relatives of Han Yanjia not only did not give him extra points, but instead became a weakness of his right prime minister.
However, Zhao Kuo hoped that the court would agree to Han Yanjia as the right prime minister, rather than Xu Yi, Li Bi and others, plus the dispute over the Minister of Personnel, the seemingly complex situation of the court could be simply divided into two factions to fight.
Now Ye Wuque and Li Yun have a dispute in Jinfeng Tower. The seemingly small dispute has a much more complicated interest.
So today's incident is not just a coincidence, but after some thoughtful thinking, it really looks more like a carefully planned situation.
Ye Qing quickly figured out these things. For a moment, even he was a little confused. Was everything that happened in front of him a coincidence or a carefully designed one?
"So you think... is this a coincidence or is it carefully designed?" Ye Qing asked Zhao Shichun.
Zhao Shichun stared at Ye Wuque, who was stalemate with Li Yun below, frowned, and said slowly: "Is it a coincidence or a carefully designed? If you, the King of Yan, don't even know, then... I'm afraid only that little nerd will know. If it is carefully designed, then this little nerd's cunning is not inferior to you, the scheming King of Yan."
"But how could he have the chance to know these things? He is not alone in the court situation..." When he said this, Ye Qing suddenly stopped. He suddenly thought that Ye Wuque might not have the chance to come into contact with these court affairs, but Ye Wuque, who is now the commander of the imperial guards, has the chance to come into contact with these.
Moreover, the relationship between Ye Gucheng and Zhao Kuo is not to mention the relationship between the monarch and the minister. The monarch and the minister are very close, and they almost say anything.
So if Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque were in charge of planning this matter, then it was impossible to say... it might be a carefully designed bureau by the three of them.
"So... you probably guessed it too, right?" Zhao Shichun asked lightly.
"If this is true, this situation will not be simple." Ye Qing sighed.
"Yes, the strategy of the priest is very comparable to that of people. This is to take the opportunity to completely eliminate some annoying people. But I didn't expect... the priest actually hides you?" Zhao Shichun said in surprise.
Ye Qing didn't care and said frankly: "Short after returning to Yanjing from Liaoyang, when Zhao Kuo came to his mansion, I made three rules with him. He would not interfere in the attack on Mongolia, but I also let Zhao Kuo deal with the government affairs and local officials. So I don't know these things."
To be continued...
