"What do you think?" Zhao Gou looked at the three names he wrote by himself, and suddenly looked up and asked Wang Lun.

"I dare not criticize you. I don't understand." Wang Lun bent down and saluted, which must be Zhao Gou's confident smile.

Neglecting Wang Lun, Zhao Gou continued to turn his attention to the names of three people. Shi Miyuan was ranked first by him, and Han Tuozhou was ranked second. Under Wang Lun's Yu Guang's gaze, Zhao Gou sighed slightly and placed Ye Qing's name behind Shi and Han.

"What's the matter with the envoys of Dali? When will they arrive in Lin'an?" Zhao Gou continued to stare at the names of the three people and asked.

"After the New Year, we will arrive before the New Year Festival. The journey is long, and the current situation in Dali is tense, so I'm afraid they will be slower on the road." Wang Lun replied respectfully.

Zhao Gou nodded with satisfaction, and then wrote the word "Cao" on the side of Shi Miyuan's name, and then wrote the word "Bing" on the side of Han Tuozhou's name.

Looking at the only word Ye Qing left, Zhao Gou's expression appeared a little hesitation again, but in the end he started writing slowly and wrote the word "detect".

Seeing Zhao Gou finishing his last stroke, Wang Lun's secretly gripped heart finally let go, which made Ye Qing feel relieved.

Shi Miyuan's character "Cao" naturally represents the transportation of canals, and also represents the food and grass of the army stationed in large numbers. However, Han Tuozhou's character "Soldier" is naturally easier to understand. It can be regarded as Zhao Gou, which clarified Han Tuozhou's identity as the first military general of the Song Dynasty.

After hesitating and weighing Ye Qing's word "detect", Zhao Gou was finally willing to fulfill the current saint Zhao Ling, but he still pressed Ye Qing tightly on the three-point land of the Imperial City Department.

Shi Miyuan led the canal transportation, which was obviously the thing that Zhao Gou liked the most. Han Tuozhou led his troops to command the army. Fortunately, the relationship between the Han family and the royal family, coupled with his Zhao Gou and Taizu's legacy, the Han family was also not afraid of it and could be used.

If Ye Qing wants to use it and cannot reuse this person, then he will definitely not be able to lead troops to command the army like Han Tuozhou. The Jin Dynasty and his party are enough to make people see clearly that this son's general is no less talented than Han Tuozhou, but this son's thoughts are difficult to figure out.

Therefore, if the emperor intends to fight the Northern Expedition, then this son cannot command the troops or abandon them, then he can only continue to do the work of trampling, making meticulous work, and scouting in the Imperial City Office, which can minimize the potential harm of Ye Qing.

"How is Jiankang?" Zhao Gou looked up again and looked at Wang Lun and asked.

"Everything is defeated." Wang Lun replied concisely.

From Zhao Gou's expression, Wang Lun could clearly know that Zhao Gou was quite satisfied with Jiankang's results.

The Han family and Ye Qing will never join forces to deal with others in the future, and Shi Miyuan and Han family will never join forces. Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan will naturally have no possibility of joining forces.

The open and secret struggle between the three finally reached a point where they were incompatible and restrained each other. In this way, even if these three people are reused, the royal family can rest assured, not afraid that someone will endanger the Zhao Song royal family.

As soon as Shi Miyuan thought of it, when he rushed to the shore of Xuanwu Lake and saw Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou looking at the lake in a daze, he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times.

After all, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Han Tuozhou and Ye Qing killed the Beilimen Guards to blame him, which made his trip to Jiankang in vain. Now it is unlikely that he will get any benefits.

And Han Tuozhou has only been through this. Not only did he bear the responsibility for the death of Princess Xin with Ye Qing, but he would also be held accountable by the court for privately going to Lin'an. In the end, he was completely futile and happy.

As for Ye Qing, let alone, the royal family will let him go if Princess Xin dies? Although Han Tuozhou is responsible, the main problem is caused by his poor protection from Ye Qing. Therefore, when Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, he cannot escape being scolded and punished by the Supreme Emperor.

Only Zhao Ruyu, although he was unable to avenge his wife's death, was considered an old hatred that year, and he could be said to be the only winner of Jiankang.

The death of Zhong Kang and his wife and Zhong Kang's elder brother Zhong Lin was caused by the death of other brothers. Obviously, it was impossible for Zhao Ruyu to do anything to do with King Xin. Princess Xin, who could have made him vent his anger, even jumped into the lake to find a short-lived person, so Zhao Ruyu, the winner, can only be considered half a winner at most.

So in this battle between Jiankang before the Chinese New Year, there was no winner, only the three of them who had thought they would become winners, but they all became losers. After returning to Lin'an, they had to wait for the court to question and punish them.

Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou stared at the censor Li Zhixiao behind Shi Miyuan. Although they were not afraid of Li Zhixiao's impeachment in the court, it was always an extremely annoying thing.

Ye Qing, who had just escaped from the murder of Fan Niande, knew better than anyone else how annoying these censors who rely on rumors to kill people by their mouths.

Han Tuozhou obviously did not want the censor to focus on him. If they were asked to blatantly impeach him in the court and return to Lin'an privately, he would probably not do anything within the next year and a half. He would be impeached by these censors every day, and would be so annoyed to death.

"Zhao Ruyu had already set off with King Xin, Zhong Ping and others to return to Lin'an early this morning. If the two of you still had to stay in Jiankang, I'm afraid the court would be even more dissatisfied? Of course, it doesn't matter if you set off two days later. You can still hurry up on the way to Lin'an and celebrate the New Year with your family." Li Zhixiao stood behind Shi Miyuan, and he sat down, looking at Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou diagonally opposite him and said relaxedly.

Even if the three of them sit at the same table, they are separated from each other by a corresponding distance, and they always maintain the same situation as a triangle between them.

"Didn't you set off at the first time? Why? I'm afraid that the court would ask you to kill the Beilimen Guard?" Han Tuozhou asked with a sneer on the corner of his mouth and disdainfully.

"Han Tuozhou, you and I know who did this matter..." Shi Miyuan changed his face in an instant and slapped the table depressedly.

"Since you are upright and not afraid of shadow slanting, you can go back first, right?" Ye Qing picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip.

"I..." Shi Miyuan looked at Ye, Han and the two of them were going to join forces. Suddenly, they smiled, and leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "You two asked me to come here just to make fun of me, Mr. Shi, for being fooled by you, right?"

"Maybe Lord Ye hopes that Princess Xin will swim out of Xuanwu Lake. Since the incident last night, the Imperial City Department has blocked Beili Gate and Xuanwu Lake, and even Zhongshan has been blocked by you. Ye Qing, no one can be resurrected. If he can find it, he should have found it last night." Han Tuozhou glanced at Ye Qing with a slant, and did not forget to fall into the insult and stone the stone.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense to you two." Ye Qing pushed the empty teacup forward and pointed directly at Li Zhixiao who was standing behind Shi Miyuan: "Tell me, what conditions can prevent you from impeaching the court to protect Princess Xin from protecting me."

"What Lord Ye thinks? Do you think Censor Li won't know if he doesn't impeach him?" Shi Miyuan began to think about the bargaining chips in his mind and said lightly.

"Whether the court knows it or not, I, Han Tuozhou, rushed back to Lin'an from Lizhou Road and never arrived in Jiankang." Han Tuozhou put his hands on the table and also looked at Li Zhixiaodao again.

"The three of us have the handle of each other. We all take a step back. The matter of Jiankang will be settled in Jiankang. Once the city is out of the city, the matter of Jiankang will be left behind. As for how the court will treat us three, it depends on their own abilities and their own strength in the court?" Shi Miyuan looked at Ye and Han and spoke first.

"Everyone has thought about a festive New Year's Day. If the matter of Jiankang starts in Lin'an, I, Han Tuozhou, promised both of you that no one will ever think about a safe New Year's Day. As for how the court will deal with it after the New Year's Day, it depends on your own ability to see if anyone in the court is willing to speak for you, what?" Han Tuozhou's eyes wandered back and forth on Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan.

"As a wealthy family, there are people in the court, they are confident in speaking. Since I, Ye Qing, have experienced it once, are you afraid of experiencing it again? A gentleman's word..." Ye Qing also put one hand on the table, looking at Han and Shi said.

"It's hard to chase after all."

Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan looked at each other, and then sneered in unison.

"Since that's the case, then Shi will take a step first." Shi Miyuan stood up and looked at Han and Ye. Now, the battle with Han and Ye has really begun.

Shi Miyuan also believed that Han Tuozhou and Ye Qing would never have the opportunity to join forces in the court in the future, and there would never be any more happening like the last time, when Han Cheng would help Ye Qing speak in the court.

As Shi Miyuan took his people away, Han Tuozhou and Ye Qing were left in the room. Mo Xiaobao stood behind Ye Qing without saying a word, and Wu Lie stood behind Han Tuozhou without saying a word. As the two waved their hands, Mo Xiaobao and Wu Lie also walked out of the room quickly.

Han Tuozhou looked at the door that was closed again, slowly got up and walked to the window, opened half of the window, watched Shi Miyuan's figure leave, and said in a low voice: "I originally thought you and I could join forces in the court for many years, but now it seems that it has become my luxury."

"Do you don't want to work together, just say with a smile." Ye Qing turned his fingers and said lightly.

"I admire you very much whether it is your actions in the Jin Kingdom or your actions in the Xia Kingdom. When I went to Lanzhou to pick you up without telling the court, it was because you, Ye Qing, is a true hero of anti-Jin. I just didn't expect... Before I could return to Lin'an, you, Ye Qing, would have forgotten all this." Han Tuozhou slowly turned around and faced Ye Qing with a solemn expression.

Ye Qing looked at Han Tuozhou, who looked solemn and somewhat heartbroken, and smiled without saying a word.

Han Tuozhou sighed slightly, walked to the table and sat down, filled the two of them with tea, and continued, "The court is a purgatory full of intrigue and thorns. No matter who it is, once you enter the court, you will obviously not be lucky if you don't stand in a row. So what about the Lin'an Prefect Xiao Zhen? He should have become the Minister of War, but what about the end? It's not because he has been neutral in the court for many years that Liu Zheng took advantage of the loophole? Now the Minister of War Xin Qiji, a contemptuous person, is he also struggling step by step, being excluded everywhere and unable to become a climate?"

"But at least you can live, right?" Ye Qing continued to smile, holding the steaming teacup.

"So what? A good man should take the world as his ambition when he enters the court. But what can Xin Qiji live? The cynical people who are depressed and unsuccessful and hate the Jin people. All their ideals and ambitions can only be watched by helplessly accompanying him to grow old and unable to show them. You are a smart person. Since you know Mingzhe protects yourself, you should know that if you stand in the right team, you can not only save your life, but also display your ambitions in your heart, go to battle to kill enemies, and recover lost territory. At that time, you will be the king and wait for the great Ye family and make him a prominent family. Wouldn't it be better than your current "small wealth and peace of mind"?"

"I just want to live simply. Even now, I have only one goal, that is, to live. I have seen too much about the things in the court, and I, Ye Qing, have more conceited than you. The saying of being with the king is like a tiger, is even more profound than you. Therefore, being able to live is better than any ambition. If you die, you will have nothing left. If you live, everything is possible." Ye Qing's last sentence was inexplicably meaningful.

Han Tuozhou smiled, knocked on the table, signaling Ye Qing, who was holding the teapot, to pour him tea, and then said, "It's hard to support himself. It's hard to create a world in the court alone. But... if you just want to live and be a turtle in the court, it's a way. When you were young, you would like to kill all the Jin thieves, restore the great Song Dynasty, and wash away the humiliation of the two saints back then. Then you will be the king and wait for a man to be a hero for a lifetime."

"Xin Qiji, the Minister of War, should it end, right?" Ye Qing asked, pouring tea for Han Tuozhou.

"Yes, Zhu Xi was imprisoned by you once, and King Xin fell to Zhao Ruyu's hands. Xin Qiji's official career in Lin'an was over. No one wanted to cause trouble because of this. So even if the emperor appreciated it,... the literati's character is too strong and cannot accomplish great things." Han Tuozhou pointed directly at Xin Qiji's weakness with a strong tone.

"Zhu Xi will come back sooner or later." Ye Qing sipped the tea and said lightly: "You and Xin Qiji are the Minister of War. If Xin Qiji comes down, the Ministry of War should be decided by you alone. Liu Zhengzhi is not in the army, and the two magistrates of Lin'an are the same rank as Xiao Zhen. In this way, the imperial court is to promote it. Liu Zheng goes from the magistrate to the Minister of War, but he is just taking a place for some people. Now it is time to change his nest, right?"

"Isn't it true that the Ministry of Revenue Zeng Huai? The current Dali Temple Minister Lu Zujian is starting to be in danger, right?" Han Tuozhou smiled and said relaxedly.

"Tell me about the conditions." Ye Qing also smiled and said.

"Shi Miyuan." Han Tuozhou said extremely simply.

Ye Qing was stunned at first, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he picked up the teacup and said, "I respect you."

"In the future, you and I will never have the time to drink tea as kind as today." Han Tuozhou raised his cup to meet him, and the two tea cups collided in the air, making a crisp sound.
