After parting with Lin Guangchao, he continued to walk along the Qinhuai River towards Jiankang Academy. When he saw an umbrella shop next to him, Ye Qing stood at the door for a while and then turned around and walked in.

"Make a new umbrella, 100% new umbrellas, make it now, I'll wait here." Ye Qing fumbled in his sleeve bag for a long time, and finally took out a piece of fine silver and threw it to the friend and said.

The guy looked at the young man who was not so arrogant in front of him, but vaguely, with a sense of uneven power, and was hesitating whether to tell the customer whether to tell the customer when he was making a new umbrella, he saw the shopkeeper coming quickly.

After sending the guy away, the shopkeeper asked Ye Qing to sit down on the chair beside him.

There are not many people in the umbrella shop to buy umbrellas. Even if there are customers, most of them are women. The purpose of buying umbrellas is not to shelter from the wind and rain, but mainly to keep umbrellas and walk on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Ye Qing didn't know the shopkeeper in front of him, and Mo Xiaobao didn't follow him, but this did not mean that no one knew the broken silver and the bullets he was holding in his hands.

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Qing and his eyes became respectful in an instant. He was about to get up when he was stopped by Ye Qing whisperingly, and then said: "Prepare the pen and ink, and then send it to Lin'an for 800 miles in a hurry. After receiving the reply, he rushed back overnight."

"Yes." The shopkeeper quickly stood up, signaled the client to continue to greet the guests, and then led Ye Qing to walk back.

In just a quarter of an hour, Ye Qing walked out of the umbrella with a new umbrella. After a while, the shopkeeper of the umbrella shop also walked out of the umbrella shop and walked in another direction.

As Ye Qing came to Tao Qian's mansion alone, the gatekeeper looked at the guests who had been here once and was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to welcome him or refuse.

Before he could speak, the guest had already flashed into the mansion, and signaled him to close the door and make tea for himself as if he were the host.

Just as Ye Qing entered Tao Qian's mansion in Wuyi Lane, Han Tuozhou slowly walked off the carriage and entered a magnificent mansion in Yanzhi Lane in the northern city of Jiankang.

This area was once the back garden of the emperors of the Southern Dynasty. With the rolling of historical wheels, although there are no more buildings with carved beams and painted buildings, there is still no shortage of deep houses built here since the founding of the Song Dynasty and the style of Suzhou gardens.

Yanzhi Lane is named after the Romance Well, which the Southern Dynasty emperor escaped from rebels. Now the Romance Well no longer exists. Just like the disappearing Xuanwu Lake, it has become part of the long river of history with a heavy feeling.

The absence of Xuanwu Lake surprised Ye Qing. He felt like this concierge was lying to him. How could Xuanwu Lake not exist?

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Wang Anshi was the prefect of Jiangning. When Wang Anshi took office, he proposed to return the land to the land. For his own political achievements, he did not hesitate to fill the entire Xuanwu Lake, which made the nightmare of rainfall in Jiankang City lingering for two hundred years. It was not until the Tatars ruled the entire China that Xuanwu Lake was dug out again, which made it slightly improved.

Han Tuozhou's arrival was like injecting a heavy haze into the entire Jiankang City officialdom, making the air in Jiankang City seem to have begun to become solemn.

With the arrival of Han Tuozhou, the mountains and rivers of the entire Jiankang City had just been covered by the night. When it was with the construction, Zhao Ruyu also rode into Yanzhi Lane and met Han Tuozhou in an ordinary carriage.

Almost at the same time, King Xin Zhao Ju's carriage slowly entered the royal villa located not far from Qingxi Bridge in Jiankang East City.

In the only remaining Jiankang West City, Shi Miyuan's carriage was one hour late, and stopped in front of a courtyard in Ximingli, Jiankang West City. With the people brought in, Shi Miyuan, who was frowning, walked into the mansion together with Li Zhixiao, the inspector of the three evil forces.

King Xin lives in the east, Ye Qing enters the south, Shi Mi is farther away from the west, and Han Tuozhou occupys the north. People who occupy four directions seem to have the will of heaven in the dark, and when people are quiet, they can't help but turn their attention to: the Six Dynasties Palaces back then, and the Jiankang Academy today.

"Ye Qing must be in Jiankang City." Han Tuozhou frowned and said firmly in the direction of Jiankang Academy.

Zhao Ruyu, who was standing by, looked in the same direction, glanced at Wang Gongwu, the commander of the Nankang Army next to him, and then thought: "Jiankang City is too big, it is too difficult to find someone, let alone this person is also the commander of the Imperial City Department, a person who has always been good at hiding."

"It's just that I occupied the area of ​​Nancheng, but finding him is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack. Since Ye Qing has avoided him after entering Jiankang, he must have avoided him. He must have guessed that I have arrived in Jiankang. But..." Han Tuozhou sighed, looked at Empress Wang Gongwu on the side, and lowered his head and said, "Ye Qing is not easy to deal with. If he is an enemy of him, he will not be able to sleep well every night."

"Will he stop us? In this case, Ye Qing's hand stretched too long, right? Don't forget that we had met him in Xia Kingdom. Could it be that he was really ungrateful..." Zhao Ruyu was always unwilling to believe that the person who was chatting and laughing in front of him, was quite funny in dealing with people and things, and could even be said to be a person who fell in love with them at first sight, would be dissatisfied with them at this time.

Moreover, that day, Zhao Shicheng and King of Wei Zhao Kai appeared in Yongjin Tower. Even if he could not intimidate Ye Qing, could the King of Wei and Zhao Shicheng not have much weight in Ye Qing's heart, and could he not hesitate and think about it?

"There is no faith in the court? Besides, how could Ye Qing make the decision? What he is afraid of is behind him..." Han Tuozhou looked at Zhao Ruyu calmly, and thought for a while and continued: "The Imperial City Department may not interfere blatantly, but it does not mean that the Imperial City Department will stand by and watch. If so, why should the Supreme Emperor let Ye Qing come in person? The meaning of it needs to be carefully considered. But if you can see Ye Qing, it would be great."

"Do you know that a few days before coming to Jiankang, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan had drunk a drink at Yongjin Tower. After fighting for nearly two months, the two men were evacuated before they could evacuate the guards guarding their respective mansions. Could this be a sign they were going to join forces?" Zhao Ruyu kept thinking about this matter in his mind. From Lin'an to Jiankang, this matter was always in his heart, pressing him like a mountain, and he couldn't even wave it.

"Not only that, even Li Mengjian, the confidant of King Xin, went to see Ye Qing immediately after the Imperial City Office arrived at the inn, but Ye Qing avoided it. Therefore, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan went up to the Yongjin Tower. In my opinion, I was afraid that it was because of the Poli incident. As for the others, haha, Ye Qing would not." Han Tuozhou said with a smile, and his eyes moved again to the distant Jiankang Academy in the night.

Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan came out of Yongjin Tower that day, and the Han family also sent a carriage, but the prince's mansion actually sent a carriage, and Ye Qing also got on the carriage without hesitation. Although it seemed to be related to Na Poli on the surface, it was...

"Can it be the prince?" Han Tuozhou suddenly turned around, his eyes as if he was like a knife, and he said urgently at Zhao Ruyu.

"Ah? What is the crown prince?" Zhao Ruyu was still thinking about why Ye Qing refused to show up in Jiankang. At this moment, he looked at Han Tuozhou's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to kill people, and he was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Can the prince be in charge of Jiankang Prefecture School?" Han Tuozhou repeated.

"...This...is unlikely, right?" Zhao Ruyu said incrediblely.

"What's impossible? Since you invited Zhao Shicheng and King Wei in Yongjin Tower that day, if Ye Qing was really forced to take a side, would he choose another way? Even if he didn't stand you and me, nor did he stand Shi Miyuan, and naturally he wouldn't stand Xinwang. Then only the prince can be the big tree behind him, right?" Han Tuozhou's eyes were still sharp and he said in a quick tone.

Zhao Ruyu laughed, looking at Han Tuozhou with a sharp and serious expression, and laughed happily: "Haha, does the prince have a foundation? Even the prefects in various places don't take it seriously. Ye Qing is stupid? He will look at the prince? And how can the prince look at him? Ye Qing has a foundation, background, family background? The prince does not have his own connections yet, so what will he do to win over Ye Qing? Ye Qing is just a sharp blade of the royal family, which is used to clear dissidents. The prince doesn't even have the minimum connections. What should he do to ask Ye Qing to do with this sharp blade? Scaring people? Wishing people's hearts? It's better to conquer it with virtue. Maybe he can recruit some talented ministers under his command, and at least leave a reputation as a polite and noble man, right?"

The prince is like a sapling that is just about to grow, while Ye Qing is a rootless tree that has no roots and will always dry up and die. They are lying together, who can help whom?

Obviously, no one can give each other what they want, and no one can get more from each other to achieve their goals. Therefore, Zhao Ruyu is not optimistic about the prince at this time and can win over powerful court officials.

Of course, he was even less optimistic. Ye Qing would foolishly rely on a prince who had no power and had no influence in the court to be the big tree behind him.

So what Ye Qing could choose was just like Long Dayuan, the commander of the Imperial City Department back then, either surrendering to Tang Situi or Wang Huai.

But now, who can't tell that the left and right prime ministers are already weak, and the right prime minister of Wei Qi is just a transitional period. Sooner or later, this position will be Han Cheng's.

As for the left prime minister Wang Huai, although the court is not very good at touching him now, if the possibility of war with the Jin Dynasty is smaller and the relationship between the two countries is closer, then Wang Huai's position will sooner or later be replaced by others.
