Chapter Three Hundred and Eighteen
Li Dao's words were half true and half false, and Li Dao knew very well that with the increasingly omnipresent style and ability of the Imperial City Department, he must have known that Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian had come to his mansion long ago.
Therefore, Li Dao would never hide Ye Qing from this matter. Instead of hiding it, it would be better to be honest and tell me clearly what Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian said about entering the house, so as to reduce Ye Qing's vigilance about sending him invitations.
Ye Qing looked at Li Dao's worried and sincere eyes, and his mind quickly changed, but for a moment, he couldn't guess how Li Dao wanted to deal with him.
He nodded and agreed to Li Dao's request, then poured Li San and Zhao Qi'er, each with ten people, led by Li Dao's house, and led by the butler Li Dao.
As Li Dao left and Ye Qing stood up tacitly with Li Lifang, Tang Hexi appeared in the sight of the two.
Obviously, Tang Hexi did not expect Ye Qing to be here, but then he felt relieved when he thought about it. Li Lifang wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass him, so how could he let Ye Qing go? If it weren't for Ye Qing, Li Lifang would not have hated him as much as he is now.
"Brother Tang, long time no see you." Ye Qing and Li Lifang bowed to Tang Hexi one after another.
"On the New Year's Day, I wanted to come to your mansion to visit Uncle Li and you, but because I had a visitor to the family, I really couldn't get out of here. I also hope that Brother Li would not be accustomed to it." Tang Hexi said with a gentle smile.
Compared to Li Lifang, Tang Hexi is definitely truly suave, handsome, and elegant, with a handsome and elegant young man. Otherwise, Yan Qingyu would not have promised him, and he still misses him.
"Where is there, Brother Tang is polite. Brother Tang is willing to appreciate the glory today, and I am so grateful." Li Lifang replied with a smile.
"Then Brother Li is coming, shouldn't Brother Li be grateful?" A voice sounded behind Tang Hexi and Li Lifang.
Ye Qing had already noticed the two people who came here: Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou.
Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou both met once, and one was when Li Lifang introduced him to meet at Yongjin Tower.
As for Han Tuozhou, he was in Yangzhou. When Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen came out of Zhao Shixiong's mansion, they happened to meet Han Tuozhou who entered Yangzhou.
Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing are not very familiar with each other, not to mention that they had a festival between them because of Japanese monks, so they met and nodded lightly, even if they said hello.
However, Han Tuozhou didn't know if it was because of a meeting in Yangzhou or because of both military generals, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation, so after greeting Li Lifang and Tang Hexi, he started chatting casually with Ye Qing.
Tang Hexi obviously did not like Han Tuozhou very much. At this time, he even faced Han Tuozhou with a hint of hostility.
After all, after his father Tang Shuo left the Ministry of War, the position of Minister of War was given to Han Cheng, the father of Han Tuozhou, in front of him.
Before this, whether it was Tang Hexi, Tang Shuo, or even Tang Situi, he always believed that Tang Shuo's Minister of War could sit down.
Therefore, the Ministry of War has always regarded the Ministry of War as Tang Hexi, which the Tang family has, and naturally he has no good expression when he sees Han Tuozhou.
"Congratulations, do the job?" Han Tuozhou glanced at Tang Hexi coldly, and then asked Ye Qing.
He didn't expect to meet Ye Qing here. After all, as Ye Qing is like Bai Ding, it is obviously impossible to receive Li Dao's invitation.
"I've answered correctly, both." Ye Qing replied with a smile.
Han Tuozhou has a medium figure, but because he has been in the army for many years, he directly gives people a strong and sharp feeling.
The thin cheeks, wide cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridge make Han Tuozhou's entire face very angular. Although it does not meet the current aesthetic, in Ye Qing's opinion, if it were in the future, he would definitely be a handsome guy.
"Oh? How do you say it?" Han Tuozhou was stunned and asked everyone curiously as he walked in.
"I was just coming with invitations, but just now, Shangshu Li gave me another errand, so even if I congratulate you, I would do the job." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"When will you have time to discuss it?" Han Tuozhou's words turned quickly. He looked at Ye Qing in confusion, as if he smiled coolly and said, "After you left Yangzhou, the comforting envoy, Lord Yu Yunwen, said like me that what happened in the Duke's mansion in the sky, which made Han deeply admire him, but he was a little itchy."
"Take it down, I am a wild person. I am not like the real skill you have been honing in the army all year round, so I am willing to give up the disadvantages, so there is no need to compare." Ye Qing said with a smile, taking the lead in stepping into the living room prepared by the Li family.
Among the few, Shi Miyuan was the oldest, who looked around thirty years old, and then Han Tuozhou, Ye Qing, Tang Hexi and Li Lifang.
"After Lord Han was appointed as the Minister of War, now the Wuhe Army is stationed in Zhenjiang, you are the commander of the Wuhe Army, right? Then you should be closer to Tang Hexi. After all, he is more familiar with you. How should you be the son of the Minister of War?" Ye Qing calmly teased Han Tuozhou.
"I didn't expect you to be in the position of commander of the Imperial City Department. Should I say you are a young talent, young and promising, or are you insidious and cunning, so you can take this great task?" Han Tuozhou immediately fought back.
Ye Qing listened to Han Tuozhou's counterattack, and Han Tuozhou also had a smile on his face and eyes.
But at this moment, Tang Hexi, who sat next to them at some point, couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't think that the position of Minister of War is easy to sit. In a short period of time, everyone can sit firmly, but if you want to sit down for a long time, hum, you have to see if you have the ability."
"Your insulting father can be as stable as Mount Tai in the position of Minister of War. As for others, you don't have to worry about it." Han Tuozhou's face was cool, and his words made Ye Qing appalled.
"You..." Tang Hexi suddenly stood up and looked at Han Tuozhou with some angrily uncontrollably.
"Why? I'm not even entering the officialdom yet, and I'm thinking about being so arrogant. You can't participate in the state test, because you're backing to a big tree to enjoy the cool air, but you think you're Tang Hexi is almost sure to win the imperial examination. If you want to seek justice for your idiot father, wait until you enter my Song Dynasty. I, Han Tuozhou, will accompany you to the end." Han Tuozhou still had a cool expression and a cold tone.
"I..." Tang Hexi was so angry that he looked at Han Tuozhou's expression as if he was dissatisfied and did not know what to say for a moment.
In fact, if it were the past, or if the few people in front of him were replaced by others, Tang Hexi would definitely not have been so easily unable to hold back and get angry.
But today the main hall was sitting either the newly promoted royal relative Li Lifang, the newly promoted royal relative Shi Miyuan, or the newly promoted Minister of War: Han Tuozhou, the commander of the Wuhe Army.
These three people are now not bad at all in terms of identity, status, and family background. They are even much higher than him. Moreover, there are some smells of gunpowder among the several families, and now they are Tang's at a disadvantage in the court.
Therefore, Tang Hexi, who is used to dealing with others condescendingly, suddenly becomes in such a delicate situation and is instantly aroused by others' anger. It is natural.
After all, Ye Qing was nothing in his eyes, including Li Lifang, Shi Miyuan, and Han Tuozhou. It was absolutely right to say that he was a white diary.
Li Lifang's new royal relative, Shi Miyuan's new court new nobleman, Han Tuozhou, and his mother was the sister of the current empress dowager. Therefore, together with these families who were either rich or noble, who held the power of the Southern Song Dynasty, Tang Hexi's status suddenly plummeted.
How could he tolerate that among the few people sitting there, he was the only one who was just at the end?
Although Ye Qing is at the bottom, at this time, just like competing for family background and background, no one will count Ye Qing as a royal hawk, or be seen by people.
Shi Miyuan and Li Lifang whispered a few times, then turned to look at Ye Qing, who was sitting on the chair leisurely and Tang Hexi, who was angry.
"Why should Brother Tang get angry? How could he be easily sowed by a hawk dog? After the Lantern Festival, people who are about to enter the official career will be able to bite you, and you will still bite you?" Shi Miyuan's smile was extremely despicable.
Han Tuozhou glanced at Tang Hexi who was still standing with his eyes squinted, and then looked at Shi Miyuan, but he didn't say anything.
He knew that Shi Miyuan was not saying himself, but what Ye Qing said to him just now, so the hawks and dogs in Shi Miyuan's mouth were all aimed at Ye Qing.
After leisurely picking up the teacup that the maid of Li's mansion put on the table, Han Tuozhou started to taste leisurely. He wanted to see how Ye Qing would deal with Shi Miyuan's attack.
"So when the dog bites it, either kicks it away. When it is really impossible to kick it away, as long as the dog does not bite the bone, or sends a bone to the dog to attract his attention." Ye Qing looked at the trembling maid and just put the tea in front of Shi Miyuan. However, when Shi Miyuan just picked it up, he looked at the tea cup in Shi Miyuan's hand with a relaxed expression and said.
"Bastard, who do you think is a dog?" Shi Miyuan held the teacup in his hand, staring at Ye Qing's eyes as if the teacup in his hand was the bone in Ye Qing's mouth.
"Who is shouting and trying to bite someone is talking about whom? Why? Brother Shi wants to admit that he is a dog?" The smile on Ye Qing's face gradually disappeared, and he asked coldly at Shi Miyuan who was standing up.
"What a sharp-tongued look, I am worthy of being a detrimental to the world and doing dirty things in secret." Shi Miyuan sat down slowly, staring at Ye Qing and said.
"Who did something that hurts the world? I believe anyone should know very well in his heart." Ye Qing's eyes became cold at this moment. He slowly stood up with a teacup, walked to Shi Miyuan, put the teacup in his hand on Shi Miyuan's desk, and then knocked on the table and said, "The Imperial City Department is not Dali Temple. The Ministry of Justice will usually turn a blind eye. If the Maritime City Department notices something, it will not let go. Don't think that the Maritime City Department is a solid piece. Do we want to see?"
Shi Miyuan's eyes were too long. He looked at Ye Qing standing in front of him, glanced at the teacup that Ye Qing put down, and then reached out and slowly pushed down the table.
As the teacup fell to the ground, Shi Miyuan slowly stood up, stared straight into Ye Qing's eyes with his eyes intently, and said gloomy: "A word is certain, let's see who laughed at the end!"
