Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth Shifu
Wanyan Jing agreed to Ye Qing's request, which made Ye Qing, who was in Lin'an, finally breathe a little relieved because of the water of the Yellow River. At least it is no longer like in the past few days. From time to time, he would dream that the Yellow River suddenly burst out more than ten dams. The surging floods ravaged the entire Shandong and Nanjing Road, turning the original yellow land into a yellow ocean. There were dense corpses of various ages floating on the water. Under the scorching sunlight, rotten air soared into the sky and mosquitoes and flies gathered.
Seeing Ye Qing's thoughts of having been worrying since he had not returned home for two days and nights, Bai Chun finally became cheerful and relaxed today, and Bai Chun was also happy. In addition to the incident at the Red Mansion last night, Bai Chun was too generous to be too lazy to pursue it. Where did Ye Daguan Ren go to the night when he stayed home at night?
Of course, without Ye Qing's words, she could guess where the Lord Ye went.
"It seems that Wanyan Jing is quite affectionate and righteous, and he actually repays his grudges with kindness..." Bai Chun said relaxedly after looking at Ye Qing after reading Wanyan Yongji's letter.
"Take it down quickly, it would be strange if that little bastard is kind. He did this because from his perspective, this matter is profitable, so he agreed so happily." Ye Qing interrupted Bai Chun's words, looking at the Red House where a big girl finally turned into a young wife, put down the teacup and walked out and said.
Honglou was a little shy, especially in front of Bai Chun, so at this time, Ye Qing ignored the look of the love-watching Honglou, and hurriedly left Honglou, and continued to say to Bai Chun: "Wanyan Jing naturally hoped that one day he would be able to regain the Fourth Road of the North, so he would lend me so happily and generously. And he didn't have to pay the money, but just two officials. Anyone would do this. After all, in Wanyan Jing's view, this is equivalent to my Song Dynasty court spending a lot of money to help them repair the river embankment in the Jin Kingdom. How could he not be willing!"
"Just as sinister as you think." Although Bai Chun felt like a mirror in his heart, he still said unconvincedly.
After taking the letter from Bai Chun, he read it again, pointed to the two names above and said to Bai Chun, "Tian Li, Wang Rujia, tell Dong Chao Zhihui to see if these two people are really officials of the Ministry of Works of Jin Dynasty, and whether they have other identities and backgrounds. Don't let the whole wolf enter the house by then, that would be a big joke."
Bai Chun nodded while silently remembering the two names, then lit a candle next to him, watching Ye Qing burn Wanyan Yongji's letter to ashes.
After all, this was a correspondence with King Wei Shao of Jin. No one knew. If others knew about it, would he attack and impeach Ye Qing again in the court.
When the Honglou appeared in the study again, Bai Chun happened to be ready to go out and glanced at the invitation in Honglou's hand. The elegant handwriting on it still made her instantly curious.
"Whose invitation?" Bai Chun asked curiously.
"It's a wife named Tang Wan who sent someone to give to the young master." Honglou smiled and quickly handed the invitation in her hand to Bai Chun.
Even though his identity has changed now, when facing Bai Chun and Honglou's performance is still so well-behaved and cautious, the maid's traces are still very heavy over the years.
Holding Honglou's hand, he sat down beside him, ignoring the words of Ye Daren's words against peeping at others' privacy. Honglou sat down with Bai Chun and said, "It is the princess of Xin'an County. He met the prince many years ago, and then by chance, the prince made a wonderful marriage, so the princess wants to thank the prince for coming."
"So strange? If you don't choose other times, you'd rather choose this time to thank you?" Bai Chun frowned and asked with a pair of eyes.
Someone sighed helplessly. Now, no matter if he has a slight connection with that woman, Bai Chun will think that he seems to have a dirty relationship with that woman.
"If it was as good as I expected... At this time, the Prince of Xin'an handed me an invitation, it was probably related to the fact that King Qing was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of the Huainan Army, who had just been renamed a few days ago. Even a fool could figure it out. King Qing was not very familiar with others shortly after he returned to Lin'an, and he took the initiative to recommend himself to go to Huainan East Road, so no matter what, at this subtle time, he needed an intermediary to introduce me to his true understanding." Ye Qing raised his feet and put them on the desk, deliberately increasing the four words of real understanding.
Bai Chun originally planned to ask Ye Qing what he planned to do, but looking at Ye Qing's carefree and calm style, which was in sharp contrast to the frowning of the past few days. Then he thought that Zhong Qing would help him analyze this kind of thing, so he stopped talking and patted the hand of the Honglou, and then the two women walked out of the study hand hand together.
As the two women walked out of the study, Ye Qing picked up the invitation that should have been written by Tang Wan and read it. Tomorrow evening, he invited himself to go to the Xin'an County Prince's Mansion to express his gratitude to thank him for his original accomplice. Apart from that, no other mentions.
When he was doing nothing at home, he attracted the maid brought back from Shi Miyuan's pleasure boat. After asking about where Shi Miyuan is now, the two maids were so scared that they were so beautiful that they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Looking at the two nervous maids, Ye Qing smiled and stopped making things difficult for others. He took Mo Xiaobao and walked up the Imperial Street.
When Zuo Yu and Zuo Foot came out of Xingyuan the next day, Mo Xiaobao told him that he had told him that the next action of the Guards and the Palace Front Office was not in trouble. He just asked Mo Xiaobao to remind the two of them to be careful in everything and in the end he should put the prince first.
"In this way, Zuo Yu and Zuo Xiao are at least in Lin'an, and they are at the same level as you, the commander of the Imperial City Division..." Mo Xiaobao walked on the street side by side with Ye Qing. Now such free time is rare for them.
"If you feel majestic, you can change it with them. It's best to bring Zhong Can with you, and then you two will serve as the commander of the Palace Front Office and the Guard Office. How about letting them lead the Hua Family Army?" Ye Qing said with a smile.
Mo Xiaobao obviously would not agree with Ye Qing's proposal. The Hua Family Army was strengthened by him and Zhong Can. Looking at the five thousand Hua Family Army today, Mo Xiaobao felt that it was more important than his life, so how could he bear to exchange it with the two brothers Zuo Yu?
"What's the matter with Han Tuozhou recently?" Ye Qing, who was strolling on the street, looked around at the bustling crowds and shops on both sides, and asked Mo Xiaobao next to him.
Mo Xiaobao, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, replied while chewing the candied haws in his mouth: "There is no movement. Xu Qing and Zhong Can have been sent to the palace in the past two days because the Zuo Yu brothers were in front of the palace and the two guards began to be sent, many people have been placed in the palace and they will protect their wife at all times. However... Shi Miyuan has been making small moves behind his back."
"What can he do? He agreed to give me evidence of Wang Huai's bribery within three days, and there is no sign of it yet, so let's just go to his mansion." Ye Qing stood among the bustling crowd, holding the scorching sun above his head.
"He may have contacted Zhu Xi, who has not appeared in Lin'an for a long time, but he still doesn't know what he wants to do in this move." Mo Xiaobao nodded and agreed to Ye Qing go to Shi Miyuan's mansion and said: "Zhu Xi has always had grudges with you. No matter what, you arrested him at the beginning, and the governor of Haizhou Zhao Bingwen was overwhelmed by Zhu Xi, so he chose to show his ambitions by death. It seemed that it was going to be detrimental to you."
"The literati is too pedantic. The style of the people is so important. It is best not to be an official. If you are an official... In this world, no one can satisfy people in the world. How can there be a perfect person? For example, Zhu Xi, isn't he living with rumors? Even the so-called death of a sage has been finalized, and he has not yet been determined. He still hates him and looks down on him. He respects him and wants to give him a wish.
He offered his own ancestors like his ancestors? So no one is perfect, no one is good or bad. Zhao Bingwen wanted too much, and wanted to preserve his reputation, but he did not want to lose the wealth he had worked hard to get. So in the end, he simply hanged himself. It is the greatest death. As for the reputation behind him, he also wanted to use this method, one is to be pure in sight, and the other is to gain sympathy and preserve some reputation." Ye Qing walked in the alley and sighed.
"Is there really no difference between good and bad in this official? But I think you are very good, thinking about the Song court and the people of the four northeastern routes..." Mo Xiaobao said with admiration again.
"That's because you and I have the same position, so I think so. Not to mention anything else, if you were from the perspective of the court, I would probably have sat down the Song court's prison long ago." Ye Qing smiled and bounced Mo Xiaobao's forehead.
Although Mo Xiaobao is no longer the handsome young man he used to be, the movements between the two still maintain this kind of intimacy.
He rubbed his forehead as usual, and Mo Xiaobao said, "It's true that you said this. Although what you did, including the starting point, in the eyes of the court, these are all great rebellions, contrary to the law, and the way of a minister, and beheading."
"So, you say I am a good official, and even the people in the north say I am a good official, but what about the people in Lin'an? Naturally, they will scold me Ye Qing for being traitors, turning his elbows out, the slander and traitors of the Song Dynasty, etc. But... they will all go there after all. After all, not everyone can look at the problem from the same height as you. There are many interesting people in the well, and you can't let everyone understand you. So since you have decided to do this, then stick to it, right and wrong, let time test it, and leave it to future generations to comment." Ye Qing looked at the magnificent vermilion gate of Shi Miyuan's mansion, and the three words of the Duke's mansion shine brightly, and even the doorman looked superior.
The carriages, sedan chairs and officials entering and leaving at the gate of the Duke's Mansion were either full of thoughts and rushing to the road, or just talking in a small way, or complaining and explaining to their companions. It seems that they knew that they were afraid that they did not get what they wanted from Shi Miyuan during this trip to Shi Mansion, so they began to discuss the next countermeasures before they completely left the mansion.
After standing at the door of the Duke's Mansion for a while, Ye Qing found it difficult to see an official who came out of the Shi family with a smile on his face. Although he did not know these people, it did not mean that with his Ye Qing's eyes, it was impossible to see that these people were officials of the Song Dynasty court.
The concierge looked at the two people not far away, with a relaxed expression and a smile on his face, pointing at their Duke's Mansion from time to time, and an unhappiness suddenly arose in his heart. What is this? They are so unwilling to point fingers, whisper, and criticize the Duke's Mansion!
Taking all the majestic steps, he slowly walked to Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao, looked up and down with a arrogant expression, and then said arrogantly: "If you come to visit Mr. Shi, please post a famous post first. If you are a vague person, leave here quickly and see clearly that this is the Duke's Mansion, which is not a place where you can stay at will."
Ye Qing looked at the doorman with a arrogant expression and disdainful look and smiled silently. Then Mo Xiaobao next to him saluted and said, "My lord is Huainan East Road..."
"Go and go, go there." Mo Xiaobao just said the four characters of Huainan East Road. The gatekeeper seemed to have been touched by a switch and began to drive people impatiently: "I'm sorry, two lords, Mr. Shi told me that anyone from either side can pay homage to him, but only you from Huainan East Road, Mr. Shi will not even see him, so please go back."
After saying that, the doorman began to push Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao aside so that the two of them would not get in the way of others' carriages and sedan chairs.
"My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Qing. What if your adults are interested? You can report it to the public. He will definitely..." Ye Qing hurriedly pulled Mo Xiaobao, who was about to fight with the gatekeeper, and said to the gatekeeper with a smile.
"No matter what your surname or name is, my son will not meet you. Please leave quickly. If you offend my son, can you bear the consequences?" The doorman arrogantly pointed at Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao and scolded him.
Mo Xiaobao still wanted to come forward to argue, but was still pulled by Ye Qing with a good temper. At this moment, a sedan chair slowly stopped at the door of Shi Miyuan's mansion. The gatekeeper took a look at the two people who had already been driven by him and were no longer blocked by the door. After scolding him a few more words, he walked towards the sedan chair.
"Sir, is he too arrogant? Shouldn't he teach him a lesson?" Mo Xiaobao was a little angry, and said as he looked at the man who was still walking in all directions, with a majestic expression and inhumane manner to stop the sedan chair.
"All the nobles of the wealthy families are like this. It's not the fault of the gatekeeper. He put a person Shi Miyuan didn't want to pay attention to. He was the one who was guilty of the time. Moreover, as the gatekeeper in Shi Miyuan's mansion, there were more than a thousand people who were sent to him this day, and there were probably hundreds of people. There were often people like you and me who wanted to get away with it. Naturally, he would not persuade him kindly. Because he couldn't persuade him, and with years of experience, he also knew that the rejection of the gentleman would only make others arrogant and think that he was easy to talk to, but he would be even more entangled and stayed at the door. So this is the responsibility of the gatekeeper, and he should understand each other. Why should we be sorry to him? If we really want to vent our anger, then just vent our anger with Shi Miyuan. After all, the rules are determined by him, and the gatekeeper is innocent, right?" Ye Qing said with a generous smile.
Just like some people in later generations, after going to a consumption place, they immediately feel that they have become the target of service, and everything should be natural. They suddenly become arrogant and a little unhappy or dissatisfied, they will curse the people in the service industry, or even fight and kick.
In fact, sometimes I really want to say, "I am so capable, don't try to make your ability by the service staff or the boss of the service staff." Don't be timid, just do it."
