Chapter 661 The Heart of Killing the King
As the saying goes: No one knows a son than a mother. When Ye Qing repeated the words about the prince in front of Zhao Sheng again in front of the queen, a trace of sharpness flashed through the queen's eyes, which were usually full of kindness.
Compared to Zhao Xing's slowness, the queen was obviously much more keen. She instantly realized that this was the idea given by Ye Qing in front of her. It was not that the prince suddenly figured it out overnight and got enlightened.
However, Queen Xie Sufang did not blame Ye Qing. After all, compared to the prince's needing the entire Zhao Songjiang Mountain, a small Ministry of Personnel is naturally nothing.
Of course, if the prince's restless ambitions can be alleviated by just one official and no longer quarrel with the current emperor and her queen, then it will naturally be a blessing for the entire royal family.
In addition to the matter about the prince, Empress Xie Sufang is worthy of being a kind-hearted and pure queen. Naturally, she also asked Ye Qing about things on Huainan East Road and other things, including the matters of Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng who are now staying in Yangzhou.
In Ye Qing's opinion, the imperial palace trip after returning to Lin'an was much more exhausted than when he was on the Jin Kingdom, Xia Kingdom, and Dali returned to Lin'an. What was more important was that he was more exhausting.
So after coming out of the queen, before heading to the Deshou Palace where Zhao Gou is located, Ye Qing had to stand at the end of the Wanshou Bridge to make a little adjustment. After all, the next step is a real tough battle.
Wang Lun slowly crossed the bridge with slow steps, looked at Ye Qing sitting in the rockery pavilion next to him, and stood not far away and said leisurely: "I didn't expect that Lord Ye, who is the pacifier of Huainan East Road, would hide in the corner alone to accumulate energy."
"Is the noble man from the king arresting me?" Ye Qing turned white with anger, and his mouth became more and more dry.
This palace is really not a place where people stay. Naturally, there is no tea in the court for officials to quench their thirst. When he arrived at the emperor, even if there was tea in front of him, he had no chance in the situation at that time, and he had no courage to pick up the teacup and take a sip.
When he arrived at the queen, the queen's sharp eyes shocked Ye Qing at the beginning, as if he was a sensation. So the queen's nagging next made Lord Ye, the compassion envoy of Huainan East Road, not even a sip of water was taken to drink.
Now looking at the clear little West Lake, Ye Qing wished he could dive into the lake and have fun like a war horse.
Wang Lun walked to Ye Qing slowly, took out one hand from his wide sleeve, and handed it to Ye Qing with a small teapot in his palm.
"Not every noble person can be as considerate as ours. Hold it, the water temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold, and it is the most suitable to quench thirst." Wang Lun said slowly with a smile.
He said thank you casually. Ye Qing picked up the teapot and wanted to drink it in front of the spout. However, the spout just touched his lips. Ye Qing was suddenly stunned and asked, "Isn't this... the one inside wants to kill me, right?"
Wang Lun was stunned at first, and he would come over in an instant, and his lips curled up and said, "You kid haven't figured out the situation yet?"
Looking at Ye Qing's somewhat confused expression, Wang Lun looked around and said in a low voice: "The Supreme Emperor wants to kill you, how could he use such despicable means? Besides, you are now the appeasement envoy of the Song Dynasty. If you die in the palace inexplicably, do you think this is what the Supreme Emperor wants to see? Kill you... Isn't it better to borrow a knife? Do you think that in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, there is only Li Heng, a not-so-usual knife in the hands of you for so many years?"
"What are you reminding me?" Ye Qing asked with some confusion when he pointed his lips at the spout.
Wang Lun looked solemnly and looked at Ye Qing and said, "The Supreme Emperor has never trusted Li Heng. With the Supreme Emperor's eyes, it is easy to see that Li Heng is not as good as your Ye Qing's knife, so since you left Lin'an... Li Heng is just a cover to attract you. The knife that you can't see invisible in the dark is the most deadly!"
"Who?" Something seemed to flash in Ye Qing's mind, but it was too late to catch it.
"There is a problem with the Imperial City Department you left behind. Our family doesn't know who it is, because our family hasn't left Deshou Palace for more than three months. We don't know if the Supreme Emperor doubts our family, but our family knows that you will die when you return to Lin'an this time." Wang Lun was a little angry, Ye Qing returned to Lin'an easily. What's the difference between this behavior and Yue Fei he joked about at the time?
When San Aunt was drinking in the tavern, Ye Qing often said that if she was Yue Fei, she would not be called back to Lin'an by twelve gold medals. As the saying goes, the general will not accept military orders from abroad.
But now, when things are on his head, hasn't he come back obediently?
People are always like this. When things do not happen to themselves, they stand from the perspective of the bystander, especially when analyzing afterwards, and can analyze them one by one and everybody is able to make a big splash.
But when it happens to you, you can always be like the bystander. This is what is called: the bystander is clear, and the authorities are confused!
Ye Qing is a coexistence of luck and luck. Fortunately, he met many noble people along the way and traveled to this era of honorable civil officials and humble military generals.
Fortunately, because he was able to be like a bystander most of the time, because he knew the direction of history, because he knew who was his enemy and who was not his enemy.
So Ye Qing seemed to be shocking and dangerous along the way, but in addition to his ability to turn bad luck every time, he was like a prophet, knowing what would happen in the unknown tomorrow, and knowing who is loyal and who is traitorous in the hearts of the people in the court.
But when he became more and more involved in the development trend of this era, when he became a part and began to truly get involved in the torrent, the historical trends he had known were unknowingly led by him, and naturally made him a party involved.
He knew that Zhao Gou was insidious, so he, like Bai Chun, focused most of the umbrella's attention on Zhao Gou, so he ignored Shi Miyuan, who was the first to be retaliated by him after he arrived at Huainan East Road.
If you stand from the perspective of the bystander and do not participate in history, you will naturally be able to clearly see that when Ye Qing removed Shi Miyuan's two wealthy confidants on Huainan East Road, how could Shi Miyuan have no revenge at all? Therefore, Shi Miyuan must have secretly begun to retaliate against Ye Qing.
But Ye Qing, who was in the torrent, could no longer tell the direction between the huge waves. He only believed that Zhao Gou would be his enemy, but he ignored another old fox who was offended by him early: Shi Hao, Duke of Wei.
This is not Ye Qing’s fault, but because Ye Qing is young, he needs to pay the price of growing up in the court.
What's more, after being offended by him, Ye Qing, Duke Wei did not revenge Ye Qing like a powerful minister who covered the sky with one hand. Instead, he retreated again as if he had accepted it, endured it, and waited for the opportunity to give Ye Qing a fatal blow.
Furthermore, with Duke Wei's skill, how could it be seen that Ye Qing, who had just offended him at that time, could become the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department because the Supreme Emperor supported him behind his back? So in this way, Shi Hao had every reason to stand by and watch the show. After all, Zhao Gou supported Ye Qing as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, and he was not Shi Hao, but Tang Situi.
Whether you sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight or want the fisherman to benefit, at least now we can see that Shi Hao's forbearance and cunning are completely beyond the comparison of the young and energetic chicks in the court like Ye Qing.
"So, didn't Shi Hao expect that I would have the ending today from the day I entered Shi Hao's sight?" Ye Qing held the teapot, his eyebrows were twisted, which made Wang Lun feel uncomfortable when he saw it.
"It can be said that if you failed to defeat Tang Situi, then you may not even have the chance to die at Tang Situi's hands, and Shi Hao will kill you and beat you into the water. No one in this world doesn't like to do such things." Wang Lun also helped Ye Qing analyze.
Ye Qing nodded in agreement. Looking back now, he seemed to be rash in his eyes... it was not too many, but countless. It was entirely because of Zhao Gou's support behind him, or by accident, that he had come to this day by accident.
Of course, we cannot just develop the ambition of others and destroy our own majesty. Since the Song Dynasty, he has done many big things, but when it comes to implementing such small details and scheming things, he still seems much more immature.
"It turns out that I had planned it in secret. After I left Lin'an, I gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it. No wonder Shi Miyuan suffered such heavy losses on Huainan East Road, and he could swallow his anger. It seems that this is going to..." Ye Qing said, drinking all the tea in the teapot.
"It is naturally the best to kill a single blow. No one in the court will be willing to give anyone a chance to make a comeback, because everyone knows that if this happens, he will not be the one who is unlucky in the future." Wang Lun took the teapot and put it in his wide sleeves with his hands.
Seeing that Ye Qing had almost adjusted his mood, he took Ye Qing slowly to Wanshou Bridge and walked towards the Deshou Palace opposite.
I originally thought that more than a year after leaving Lin'an, the aging of the current emperor Zhao Feng was enough for him. Ye Qing was surprised, but when he saw Zhao Gou with white hair and slowly walked out with the help of Wang Lun, Ye Qing even rushed to the front and slashed the old Zhao Gou. Is this the same person as the Supreme Emperor a year ago? How could a person grow old so quickly?
"I have met the Supreme Emperor." Before Zhao Gou turned around and sat down on the chair, Ye Qing immediately saluted.
There was endless silence on the opposite side, which made Ye Qing's words sucked in by a huge black hole while not being able to get a response.
"The Supreme Emperor asked you to get up and talk." Wang Lun said coldly.
Ye Qing then stood up, and this time he finally looked at Zhao Gou, who was old and in his twilight years.
"Why, I was scared by my appearance?" Zhao Gou was obviously very clear about his changes over the past year, and asked in his seemingly calm eyes.
When Ye Qing answered Zhao Gou's words while flattering Zhao Gou Qianqiu, he couldn't help thinking about the word mercury in his heart. He really wanted to try it. If a mercury mirror instead of a bronze mirror was placed in front of Zhao Gou at this moment, would Zhao Gou's truth in looking in the mirror be scared to death by his old appearance?
