Ye Qing didn't know why, but he was always easily aroused by Zhu Xi, and then he would curse him regardless of his image.

Before he became famous, he had cursed Zhu Xi and others like a shrew in front of many scholars in West Lake. Now he cursed Zhu Xi again. What's worse is that Lin'an once directly locked Zhu Xi into the boss of the Imperial City Department.

If you count it carefully, in addition to Zhu Xi who could easily provoke Ye Qing cursed without regard for his image, there was another person, Lu You, who was once blocked by him at the door of someone else's mansion and cursed.

When Xin Qiji was still in Lin'an, he once highly praised Zhu Xi. This time, when Ye Qing was unaware that Zhu Xi advocated the restoration of the Confucius Temple, Xin Qiji refused his idol's request many times. This shows that Zhu Xi is so fucking hateful.

Ye Qing, who woke up, seemed to be unsatisfied with the abuse of Zhu Xi last night. In the morning, he began to attribute the reason why Xin Qiji rejected Zhu Xi to the hateful reason of Zhu Xi, not to the reason why Xin Qiji refused Zhu Xi to repair the Confucius Temple because of his intentions and concerns about the grain harvest in the north this year.

"Sir, even if Lord Xin sends people to station in the Confucius Temple, it may take half a month to go back and forth. Do you want it..."

"Of course, I want to go immediately." Ye Qing sat on the threshold and basked in the sun, saying directly: "Even if Xiao Zhen asks, he doesn't have to pay attention and block the Confucius Temple directly."

"But... there is always a reason? If this matter is not done well, it's just a double-edged sword..." Zhong Can said with some concern. Ye Qing scolded him so proudly last night, just thinking about not allowing scholars to worship, but forgot that if this happens, there may be accusations.

"Just on the grounds that we need to repair the Confucius Temple, for example, there are many dangerous places in it, which are prone to death. Therefore, before repairing, in order to protect the saints from being disturbed, others are not allowed to enter the worship for the time being. By the way, you, don't wear armor, and don't bring long spears and crossbows. Just bring a waist knife to avoid disturbing the saints who have been sleeping for a long time." Ye Qing said at the end, and laughed out loud unconsciously.

Zhong Can smiled and said, "Yes, sir, I know what to do. Let's make arrangements now."

As Zhong Can left, Shen Mu, who followed Ye Qing from north to Yangzhou, walked over quickly. After seeing Ye Qing signaling, he sat down on the other side of the threshold, and then took out a letter and said: "Sir, this is about the grand court meeting in the court. Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou arranged a list of his confidants. Shi Miyuan added seven people, and Han Tuozhou was not willing to be outdone. He also placed as many as seven people in the court. And both of them obviously focused on the Censorate, so they both placed many Censors and Censors in the Censorate. It seems that they are planning to prepare for each other in the future."

"The Imperial City Department is in my hands, and it is difficult for them to make an idea, not to mention that the queen's confidant eunuch Qingqiu is also in the Imperial City Department. So, they can only use the Imperial City Department to find evidence of the other officials in the court through the Imperial City Department, etc., or continue to win over the party members of their own command." Ye Qing said with a smile and relaxed.

"The Censorate..." Chen Mu was stunned and said, "In this way, wouldn't the Censorate become the best place for them to eliminate dissidents and win over their party members? No wonder they had the idea of ​​fighting against the Censorate one by one. The Censor's rumors said that censors have such power, so as long as someone in the court is dissatisfied with them, they can impeach, attack, or coerce and tempt through the Censors? If this is true, you have to be careful."

Ye Qing showed a trace of disdain on his lips and smiled: "The Censorate is just a rumor. The Imperial City Department was personally asked by Emperor Gaozong: "I am involved in hunger and arresting and punishing, and the power of the Central and Southerners is still in a deep sense, so there will be no threat to me for the time being. After all, the Imperial City Department is more careful than the Censorate. It is possible that it is just a matter of pouring dirty water on me through public opinion. However, now, judging by the two in the court, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of me for a while."

Chen Mu was originally a Song official who was under the rule of the Jin people. Later, after the magistrate of Haizhou was questioned by Zhu Xi and he committed suicide by being questioned by Zhu Xi, he was sent to the magistrate by Ye Qing. Originally, when he was from the back Huainan Road of Jingzhao Prefecture, Ye Qing wanted him to be sent to Yangzhou, but Chen Mu was not keen on this.

This may be the real gap between officials from the north and the south, so Ye Qing fulfilled Chen Mu's intention and placed him beside Xin Qiji. Since he arrived in Sizhou, Chen Mu has been with him to the north.

"Sir, I don't know if you say it or not, but don't say it. It's blocking your heart and feeling uncomfortable." Chen Mu looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"You want to talk about Zhu Xi, right?" Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Chen Mu who nodded, and then said: "The death of Zhao Bingwen, the governor of Qianhai Prefecture, is indeed related to Zhu Xi, so you want to avenge Zhao Bingwen?"

"It's not a question of revenge, but the officials felt that after the adults recovered the lost territory, they appointed and removed a large number of officials under the rule of the Jin people, such as Xiaguan. And we have always been worried about Zhao Bingwen's death and the people in the south, and the officialdom of the government has always been worried about the title of us who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are the people who are in the north will be secretly dissatisfied with some officials in the north. So, should you consider this matter?" Chen Mu looked open and looked at Ye Qing and said his worries without any scruples.

When the North was just recovered, it was far from being as peaceful and stable as it is now. In addition, the floods were raging, and there were bandits everywhere. The entire North seemed to have returned to the hands of the Song court, but at the beginning, the court ignored it at all. The North was completely in chaos and had no order.

If Ye Qing had not purchased a large amount of grain from Huainan Road, or even from various routes south of the Yangtze River, he would have probably not have been able to avoid the rampant thieves in the entire northern land.

Chen Mu admired Ye Qing's decisive skills in governing the Northland, the resettlement of refugees, the in place of disaster relief food, and the rapid and decisive repair of river embankments, which made the original Northland officials look at Ye Qing with admiration. In addition, Xin Qiji and others worked hard to help Ye Qing, so that after the Northland was recovered by the Song court, the Northland was able to survive the most dangerous period in a very short time, without giving the Jin people any opportunity to immediately regain the lost land.

But now even though Ye Qing can firmly control the entire northern officialdom, there are still a large number of original Jin officials. The government changed into the Song court and continued to be in office. Although Zhao Bingwen's death did not cause any big news, no one was a fool. How could he not know that Zhao Bingwen's death was related to Song court and Zhu Xi?

Moreover, they only have Ye Qing in their eyes, and there is no Song court at all. This problem has always been a problem that Ye Qing and officials at all levels deliberately avoid. Now the north seems stable, but if something happens to the officials and the people, then the original officials who have been in office in recent years will not be guaranteed to have another big flag in this northland that is like three-in-one care.

The northern region lacks the orthodox nature recognized by the Song court, which is well known. One is that the open and secret struggles between the Lin'an courts made Ye Qing dare not let the Ministry of Personnel intervene in the Northern region send an appointment and removal. The second is that the imperial court has always regarded the northern region as cannon fodder to prevent the Jin people from going south again, so he has no intention of making wedding clothes for others, fearing that once the people's livelihood in the northern region and the economy will improve, the Jin people will be cheaper again.

Coupled with other reasons, large and small, the North seems to be the territory of the Song court today, but in terms of legitimacy and orthodoxy, it always has a little bit of meaning, just like a man and a woman who have lived together but have not received that marriage certificate, lacking a sense of ritual and belonging, which also makes the relationship quite fragile, and even breaks when touched.

"You are right, but if you don't repair the Confucius Temple, you will lose some people's hearts. If you build the Confucius Temple, you will really offend some officials because of Zhu Xi, or make them feel cold. So before coming up with a countermeasure, I can only order the bell silkworm to block the Confucius Temple and not allow anyone to worship." Ye Qing scratched his head. This was indeed a difficult thing for him.

Shen Mu also sighed, which was also the reason why he felt embarrassed. From Ye Qing's perspective, this is true. If it is not repaired, people who do not understand the truth will discuss it. If it is repaired, officials who understand the truth but do not investigate the interests behind it will feel a little heartbroken because of this. It is simply difficult to get rid of the tiger now.

"People always consider gains, losses and interests from their own perspectives, and not many people are willing to consider problems from the other party's standpoint. So, this is normal. No wonder the people or officials. If you want to blame, you can only blame me for this tricky thing." Ye Qing lowered his head helplessly and smiled. Shen Mu, who looked sad, could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

His duty is to remind Ye Qing that as for the solution, he has not had a good solution for a while, so what he can do is to try to make Ye Qing understand that if this seemingly inconspicuous thing goes a little wrong, it will cause a great turmoil that concerns the stability of the North.

"What will the Lord do? We can't be delayed here all the time. We are about to arrive in Jinan, but we are stopped by such a bad thing. And... there are still Jin envoys waiting for Jinan Prefecture. If Lord Ye delays in Qufu, it is difficult to guarantee that the censors in Lin'an court will not slander the Lord with this matter." Shen Mu took a deep breath, reminding Ye Qing again with a serious expression.

"Yes, the Lin'an court would think that I, Ye Qing, was guilty of being a thief, so hesitated and did not dare to meet Jin envoys. Or they would think that it was giving Jin envoys time to mediate in Jinan Prefecture. This is really a headache!" Ye Qing hung his head, why didn't there be anything worry-free!

"The officials thought that the Lord should also focus on the matters between the Jin envoys. No matter what, they must rush to Jinan Prefecture. As for the Lin'an court, as the Lord said just now, it was just some ulterior motives of criticism. However, if there was a public grievance in the north at this time, or if the officials were dissatisfied, it would probably really endanger the Lord's prestige in the north and finally established it." Chen Mu suggested carefully.

"It seems that this trip to the Confucius Temple is inevitable. No matter what, the limelight cannot be taken over by these scholars. As for the public grievances or the dissatisfaction of officials, it depends on whether Zhu Xi will give in and repair the Confucius Temple in the name of me, Ye Qing." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Chen Mu and smiled.

Chen Mu was startled, then he was happy: "Repair in the name of the adults? If this is the best, it is only the only literati who seem to be proud, but which one is not..."
