Chapter 742 What is a trick
No one knows whether Zhao Xing was aware of the chaos in the court that he decided to abdicate the prince, hoping to correct the chaos in the court through this move.
Even Zhao Xing's plan to join forces with the Tatars to fight against the Jin Dynasty seems more like a move to balance, eliminate and transfer internal chaos through external factors.
But no matter what, Zhao Xing's abdication now, especially his efforts to suppress the open and secret struggle between Wang Huai, Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, Zhao Ruyu, Han Tuozhou and others, looks more like the final dying struggle. As for the effect, even Zhao Xing himself could not have expected it.
Perhaps, no one can know what kind of chaos will be like in the court once the crown prince ascends the throne.
Obviously, Zhao Xing had already reached the last step of madness. As soon as Ye Qing returned home, he saw Guan Li standing at the door with a smile waiting for him.
Bai Chun next to him signaled Ye Qing. Guan Li had been waiting for him for two hours. Ye Qing couldn't help but be surprised and realized that Guan Li's arrival was not a "private matter", but a decree.
Zhao Xing's decree was very simple, and it was exactly what Ye Qing wanted to inquire from the Ministry of Rites, that was, let Ye Qing be personally responsible for contacting the Tatars, and even on the day the prince ascended the throne, he was willing to see the Tatars appear in Lin'an to congratulate the Song Dynasty.
Basically, the same decree, except for Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, and King Qing Zhao Kai, also received such decree almost at the same time, but they were responsible for envoys from other countries.
"Before our family came out, we had already seen the orders of other eunuchs one by one. Shi Miyuan has dealt with the Jin envoys in the past two years, especially in the past two years when you went to the Northern Expedition, Shi Miyuan has always wanted to cease the war, so the emperor naturally arranged for him to receive the Jin envoys." Guan Li continued to wake Ye Qing, don't forget that Shi Miyuan was the biggest financial leader and sect.
Bai Chun personally served the tea and placed it in front of Guan Li. Guan Li hurriedly got up and thanked him, and followed Bai Chun out of the study before sitting down.
"Then in this way, Han Tuozhou must be Dali? Now, what the emperor means is that he wants to achieve peace in all the worlds. At least for these days, he obviously doesn't want a little chaos to happen." Ye Qing said guessingly.
"Mr. Ye said it well. The emperor did make such arrangements. Xia Kingdom handed over to King Qing, so King Qing's journey to Huainan East Road... would continue to postpone it. In this way, once the prince succeeds to the throne, it will be good news for Lord Ye." Guan Li said with a smile.
Obviously, he didn't know that Ye Qing and Zhao Kai had already made up their past grudges, and he still thought that Ye Qing was still afraid of King Qing Zhao Kai's self-recommendation.
Ye Qing smiled and did not explain too much. Wang Huai and Han Cheng were not so excluded, but rather that if they were allowed to contact the envoys of various countries, they would seem to be demoted. Obviously, the emperor Zhao Xing also thought of this, so he handed over the contacts of envoys of various countries to them on weekdays after they arrived in Lin'an, and naturally they also meant to take the exam.
But in Ye Qing's opinion, this kind of school entrance examination is no longer of great significance. Zhao Xing's actions seem to be unnecessary. Even if he is not satisfied with the few people in the school entrance examination, then once the prince succeeds to the throne, there will be very few things he can do in the court.
Unlike Zhao Gou who abdicated as the Supreme Empress, who has been in control of the court for many years and has close relations with a limited number of ministers, Zhao Xing has been away from the court for nearly three years. Although the government affairs in the court are not unfamiliar, if he naively thinks that if the government affairs in the court want to pick them up three years later, it is obviously unlikely that the government affairs in the court will be picked up when they want to pick them up, and if they say they want to put them down, it will be obviously unlikely.
What's more, under the current situation, he has exhausted his lifelong efforts to beat the ministers this time. If he abdicated, his influence on the court would be completely incomparable to Zhao Gou at that time.
After all, the chaos in the court is now full of undercurrents, which can be said to be all caused by him alone. If he had not abandoned the affairs of the court, it would have not made the officials of the court so blatantly.
Therefore, if Zhao Xing wants to use his current measures to reverse the decline and stop the chaos in the court, he is obviously powerless to turn the world back. No matter how much effort he makes or how much power he uses, he can only stop for a while but not for a lifetime.
People who are in the historical trend obviously cannot evaluate and analyze from an objective perspective. When it starts, it can be regarded as a major turning point in the historical trend. But now, not only Ye Qing can clearly see the hidden dangers of the chaos and hidden dangers of the Song Dynasty. Since Zhao Gou's death and Zhao Ling's filial piety, it has begun. Now after nearly three years of dormant period, with his abdication, it is time to bear fruit.
"Where are the Liao people?" Ye Qing asked inadvertently.
"Of course, it will be left to Lord Ye, you will be responsible. Otherwise, letting Lord Ye be responsible for only a small Tatar will be a little useless. So the emperor's will has stated that this time, Lord Ye will be more hard, and you will be fully responsible for the Liao and Tatars." Guan Li said with a smile.
"Ziqi, will there be envoys from Luodian coming to Lin'an? Did they also hand it over to Han Tuozhou?" Ye Qing asked with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Yes, Lord Ye." Even if Ye Qing didn't ask, Guan Li would tell Ye Qing about these things: "So Lord Ye should be careful. The emperor did this, and it seems that he has achieved success. At least the envoys of every country are responsible. When nothing goes wrong, but... who knows whether other people will sow discord between the Lord, the Tatars and the Liao people? So our family says a few more words and hopes that Lord Ye will not be accustomed to it."
"Since we can think of it, others will definitely think of it. It seems that the undercurrents in Lin'an City have just begun with the arrival of envoys from various countries." Ye Qing said with a relaxed smile.
Guan Li is indeed reminding herself to be careful, but she is also telling herself in disguise that she can attack others in this way.
So, since he could think so, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou would definitely think so too.
Then, the most important question is that in the shortest time, I need to know who the envoys of various countries are coming to peace.
When I sent the gift to the door, Mo Xiaobao's carriage was ready. Guan Li refused Ye Qing's gift, but Ye Qing still sent it to the door and said, "I'm afraid you have worked so hard these days. Don't worry about the family affairs. If you have any difficulties, just tell Mo Xiaobao clearly."
"Thank you, Lord Ye, please stay. This has made me feel uneasy." Guan Li bowed again, and then got on the carriage.
A black cloud-patterned wooden box in the car instantly caught Guan Li's eyes, and Ye Qing's words outside the car almost rang out in his ears: "A little bit of meaning is not respect. After all, Hua is considered a person who has served the queen this year, just a little bit of intention."
"Thank you, Lord Ye, I dared to accept it." Hearing Ye Qing's words, Guan Li immediately lifted the curtain and said to Ye Qing at the door.
Since Guan Li was able to receive "good treatment" from Ye Qing, other eunuchs who went to Shi Miyuan and others' deputies could also receive "good treatment" from others. This kind of tacit treatment made Zhao Sheng's tricks of power become unnecessary again.
He originally wanted to use this method of eunuchs to send orders to make these people suspicious of each other, or to make everyone think that he is the most favored and trusted minister.
But how can this extremely simple technique of power and conspiracy deceive these outstanding people in the court? Which of them is not a master of power and intrigue? Which one is either a person with hair or a monkey now?
Of course, the only one who may be fooled successfully is King Qing, but Zhao Xing's move is not favor for King Qing, but more like a death talisman. He tied King Qing, who was already trembling, tightly on the guillotine, and was almost handed a knife to the prince, and then said: Come on, I am ready, and I will give you the knife. In fact, the most trusted and ideal heir is King Qing, you can do it.
Therefore, such a lot of ways to do this not only makes Zhao Sheng's power-making skills extremely superficial, but also makes Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing and others feel that their IQ is humiliated, and the feeling that the emperor doesn't take them seriously.
So after the realization of the situation, Zhao Kai, the King of Qing, ran over in a hurry and panic-looking manner after Ye Qing had fully understood what Zhao Xing meant.
Looking at the mysterious and nervous King Qing Zhao Kai, Ye Qing was a little confused at first, but after King Qing proposed to discuss secretly with him, Ye Qing had already guessed what was wrong with King Qing and rushed to his home in the middle of the night.
The small courtyard where there were not many people, after the two maids put down the tea and left, King Qing then wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around with a hint of panic, and then said carefully: "Mr. Ye, something big happened. I thought about it and couldn't decide what to do, but I am not very familiar with Lin'an City. There are very few people who can talk to each other. In desperation, I came to bother Lord Ye, and I hope Lord Ye will not be accustomed to it."
Ye Qing smiled casually and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, the lower officials should do their best. If they can help King Shangqing, they will naturally never refuse."
King Qing didn't care about thanking Ye Qing anymore, so he left and said, "That's right. At night today, my father suddenly sent a nobleman to my palace to pass the imperial edict. It would be fine if I didn't ask the king to go to Huainan East Road in advance. But... I actually asked me to contact the envoy from Xia Kingdom to Lin'an and then arrive in Lin'an. How can I do such a thing? If the prince knew it, even if he knew it was his father's will, he would suspect that I had Zhao Kai and had a strange intention."
"Is there such a coincidence?" Ye Qing smiled casually, then picked up the imperial edict that Guan Qi had just sent on the table, took a look and handed it to Zhao Kai, who looked dazed and said, "King Qing might as well open it and take a look."
"Is this... this suitable?" King Qing felt a little guilty, and he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so unprepared to him.
"There is nothing wrong." Ye Qing said, watching King Qing open the imperial edict hesitantly and said, "In fact, the decree received by Xiaguan and King Qing are almost the same, but Xiaguan is responsible for the contact between the Tatars and the Liao people. If Xiaguan expected, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou were responsible for the affairs of the Jin and Dali countries respectively. As for the Ministry of Rites, they can only assist us."
"This..." King Qing was stunned. This was completely beyond his expectations. A hint of loneliness flashed through his expression. Although he was nervous and nervous just now, he was also excited and happy.
What was nervous and nervous was that this incident would cause the prince's misunderstanding. What was excited and happy was that Zhao Xing still favored and valued him very much, so when he knew that he was not the only person trusted by his father, he felt a little disappointed.
"So, King Qing doesn't have to panic. I believe the crown prince can understand King Qing. Since he came, he would be at ease. Now that the holy intention is like this, King Qing doesn't have to worry too much. The lower official had been on mission to the Xia Kingdom once back then, so if there is a place where the lower official is needed in the future, King Qing might as well say it bluntly." Ye Qing said to King Qing Zhao Kai easily.
No matter what, the arrival of King Qing still made Ye Qing feel a little happy. After all, in this way, he would have an extra chance to contact Xia Kingdom. Compared with others, he had another advantage invisibly.
"Okay, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Then I will no longer meet Lord Ye. If there is anything difficult at that time, I will come to ask Lord Ye for advice." King Qing quickly adjusted himself from the slightest loss and bowed to Ye Qing and said.
When he sent King Qing away, Ye Qing, who had just turned around, saw Bai Chun standing quietly behind him. Ye Qing was startled and did not notice at all when Bai Chun ran behind him.
"You are a cat, you walk without sound, and you're scared me to death." Ye Qing said dissatisfiedly.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of you?" Bai Chun said coldly.
Looking at Bai Chun's appearance, Ye Qing's thoughts flew quickly, and he didn't feel that he had done anything else in the past few days. Then he said: "Next time I will appear behind you silently. I see if you suddenly turn back or not."
"What are you doing when King Qing is here to find you?" Bai Chun asked passively, holding his waist and walking under the mulberry tree.
"In a few days, the envoys from all countries will come to congratulate me on the ascension of the new king of the Song Dynasty. You also learned just now. The Lord asked me to contact the Tatars and the Liao people..." After talking about the Liao people, Ye Qing instantly understood why Chun had such an attitude. He remembered Yelu Yue thousands of miles away.
"What then?" Bai Chun asked coldly, waiting to see how Ye Qing planned to continue talking.
"That... none of these are very important. What's important is that Shi Miyuan will be very close to the Jin people, which will be very unfavorable to us, because no one knows what kind of transaction he will do with the Jin people, and will interfere with it, provoking me and Wanyan Jing..." Ye Qing said with a hard forehead.
"Speak something I don't know? The next umbrella should be like the action, I know it. I just want to know who the Liao envoy would be?" Bai Chun was too lazy to see Ye Qing continue to edit it, and asked coldly.
Just now, Liang Xing and Ye Qing whispered a few times before King Qing came, and then bypassed Bai Chun's floor and went straight to the umbrella shop. Unfortunately, Mo Xiaobao, who came back from the caregiver, knew that Ye Qing was talking to King Qing in the study, and asked Bai Chun why the umbrella wanted Yelu Tieyi to come to An?
