Liu Keshi is definitely a complete conspirator, his mind is also not a fair and upright line, and his dual-minded ability can now be described as perfect, so even in the face of Han Cheng, the most powerful left minister in the imperial court today, he can talk to Han Cheng freely, while quickly thinking about who is giving Ye Qing a problem.

He even thought about whether the letter that Han Cheng asked him to read could be fabricated by Han Cheng himself, in order to take the lead in the negotiation with Lord Ye?

But almost instantly, he vetoed this answer, and another possibility also appeared in his mind: Zhu Xi and killing people with a knife.

"Lord Zuo, whether Lord Ye is loyal to the monarch and the country, look at the fact that Lord Ye has regained the lost territory for my Great Song Dynasty now, you can know, just like Tongchuan Mansion Road appeases Han Yanxuan Lord Han is as loyal to the court, Xia Guan thinks, whether it is Lord Ye or Lord Han, it should not be questioned by others." Liu Keshi was sure that Han Cheng would not be angry because of his words, and said with a smile.

"Oh? How do you say that? Han Cheng raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but look at Liu Keshi twice, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, this Liu Keshi, who didn't look amazing, really got a glimpse of his own conditions from his own little tips?

The confidence in Liu Keshi's heart was not shown on his face, although he did not follow Ye Qing from Ye Qing's side before he made his career, but now he also knows a lot of things before Ye Qing's career, whether it is the initial competition with Tang Siwei or the friction with Zhu Xi, he is clear.

If Han Cheng and his son have no opinion on Zhao Ruyu now, it is simply nonsense.

At the beginning of Zhao Ruyu's promotion to the right minister, Han Cheng had opposed it on the grounds that the clan was not conducive to the society, but Zhao Ruyu at that time was in full swing, and he had a very close relationship with a large number of influential literati such as Zhu Xi, as well as some of Zhu Xi's students in the court, so Han Cheng could only watch Zhao Ruyu sit in today's position.

If you want to get rid of Zhao Ruyu, Han Cheng will not dare to risk the world like Ye Qing, Han Cheng is a civil servant, and he cares more about the name in front of him and behind him, so it is not difficult to get rid of Zhao Ruyu, it is rare how to face the verbal criticism of Zhu Xi and other literati afterwards.

Liu Keshi is the first in the imperial examination, so he is naturally clear about the thoughts of the literati, before he was taken seriously by Ye Qing, even if he resigned and did not do it, he would always pay attention to the political affairs of the court, who was promoted because of what, who who was because of what, and left a good reputation among the people and literati and so on, Liu Keshi would initially scold a few words in his stomach because he was unwilling, or take some gossip that he heard that was not conducive to those people to the tavern teahouse to spread.

In Liu Keshi's opinion at that time, even if he couldn't compete with others for a long time, if he could cope with others and let his reputation be questioned because of his rumors, he felt heartfelt happy when he went home, as if he had won a battle, and he always had to drink a few glasses to celebrate.

He has never regarded his actions as villains, and even most of the time, Liu Keshi always believes that everything he does is to let the people and literati in the world recognize the true face of a sanctimonious guy.

Although it didn't happen to him now, Ye Qing was splashed with dirty water, but Liu Keshi felt the same way, as if he had been unjust, which made him feel indignant and angry.

After all, now what Ye Qing is doing in the north is in his eyes and in his heart, and he naturally knows that all this is really for the people, for the Song Dynasty, not for his own selfishness.

"People of Taoism, the study of righteousness and reason, Lord Zuo Xiang may be able to start from this aspect, the Ministry of Rites Lang Peng Guinian respects science has become mad, all those who participate in the imperial examination, if they do not bring out Taoism, righteousness and other scholars, it is difficult to get ahead in the imperial examination. Xia Guan thinks that in the long run, it will not only be detrimental to the ...... of my Great Song Dynasty. Liu Keshi said cautiously.

"So what does Ye Qing mean?" Han Cheng heard Liu Keshi mention the imperial examination, so he also asked bluntly.

"Lord Ye must support Lord Zuo, if Lord Zuo Xiang is willing, he can take advantage of this east wind to denounce people of Taoism as pseudo-learning, and all relevant doctrines must not appear in the imperial examination, so that in less than three or five years, the imperial examination of my Great Song Dynasty must be a faction of Qingming, a hundred schools of thought contending, not pseudo-learning, the people of the world, naturally will not be respected by pseudo-learning." Liu Keshi gave a suggestion to completely cure the root cause, and even when he said this, his heart was trembling faintly, after all, he could also be regarded as an admirer of Zhu Xi at the beginning.

Han Cheng looked at Liu Keshi quietly, his originally peaceful eyes began to gradually become sharper, and then slowly raised his hand, lit the letter to Liu Keshi with the candle that had just been lit, and looked at the fire that suddenly lit in the spacious and bright room, and finally turned into ashes in the precious brushstroke.

"If Lord Zuo Xiang has scruples, the lower officials are willing to do it for the adults and go to the mansion of the Ministry of Rites to mediate for the adults, of course, you can also place Li Shangshu in the name of Lord Ye." Liu Keshi stood up and saluted and said.

"No need, the old man just knows it." Han Cheng's sharp eyes became unpredictable, but Liu Keshi laughed in his heart.

Li Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Han Cheng's protégé, said this himself, just to ask for a favor, he also believed that what Han Cheng wanted was Ye Qing's attitude of not getting in the way, not to ask Ye Qing to do it for him.

Liu Keshi, who walked out of the Han Mansion, was greeted by the spring breeze, and the warm sun of Lin'an City shone on his body, making people only think about how to be comfortable and enjoyable, but he was somewhat nostalgic for the desolation and vastness of Jingzhao Mansion at the moment, the desolation of the yellow earth, the cold northwest wind, the rough accent and the surging Yellow River.

A carriage stopped in front of Liu Keshi, looking at Tao Qian sitting on the wheel, Liu Keshi looked serious and first faced the carriage on the street: "Mrs. Ye." Then he got into the car on the other side and said: "Han Cheng will not leave the tenth meeting to agree, the condition is simple, that is, let Lord Ye promise not to interfere with Zhu Xi again." ”

Zhong Qing in the carriage sighed softly, wanting to lift the curtain to look outside, but in the end, the hand that had just been stretched out slowly put down, and after thinking for a while, he said: "After understanding the matter of Lin'an, take two people back to Jingzhao Mansion, this matter should not be agreed so easily." ”

Liu Keshi's heart froze, his back stiffened, and he quickly went through the things he made in his mind, and he didn't find any loopholes, nor did he feel that this matter would cause any trouble or loss to Ye Qing.

"Please also ask Mrs. to solve the doubts of the master." Liu Keshi hurriedly sat on the wheel and said.

"How could Han Cheng help Ye Qing for no reason, you agreed to his conditions, Han Cheng didn't look down on that little benefit, the reason why he set a simple problem for you was to admire Zhu Xi's two people, Bai Bingzhong and Ye Heng." Zhong Qing in the carriage said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "You don't have to pay attention to the affairs of Lin'an City, Master Ye explained your affairs, you can take Ye Heng and Bai Bingzhong to Jingzhao Mansion when you are done, as for Han Cheng, let me communicate." ”

"Isn't Han Cheng here to get rid of Zhu Xi?" Liu Keshi's face turned a little pale, he couldn't imagine that he would easily fall into Han Cheng's trap, he felt that he was already very cautious.

"It's not difficult to get rid of Zhu Xi, even if one is above the court, what if he has Zhao Ruyu's support and support? In Han Cheng's eyes, it was not a mountain that gave him a headache. For the current Han Cheng, the purpose of suppressing Zhu Xi is to pave the way for Han Yan after all, and then to fight with Ye Qing in the court, and strive for Zhu Xi's students to stand on the same position as them. You agreed to Han Cheng so easily, it is equivalent to pushing Bai Bingzhong and Ye Heng out to let Ye Qing kill his relatives in righteousness, so that one day, once Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, who dares to stand on the same side as him? Wouldn't he still have to face the verbal criticism of those literati, and finally lose the upper hand in the battle with Han Yanxuan? seems to have figured out his purpose, but in fact it is the purpose he is willing to let you see, and the real killer move is always hidden under the purpose he shows you, wearing layers of masks, making it difficult for you to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. Zhong Qing rarely analyzed Han Cheng's city government to Liu Keshi, who was dripping with cold sweat.

can achieve the position of the left minister, and can endure Wang Huai's suppression for many years, and then stand tall and finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, how can he be a person who can easily make people see through his thoughts?

Liu Keshi thought that he had judged Han Cheng's intentions, but he didn't know that it was Han Cheng who deliberately let him judge, as for the real purpose, it was naturally to use this cooperation with Ye Qing to get rid of Zhao Ruyu and put Ye Qing in injustice.

After all, the influence of the destruction of Ziqi and Luodian is dispensable for the imperial court, but the recovery of the northern land is an exciting good news for the Song court and the people.

And in the past two years, the revenge of the Jin people that people are worried about has not happened, but Ye Qing has continued to recapture the three roads in the north, and now it has been recaptured by the entire eight roads, and the territory north of the Yellow River has been completely included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which makes people involuntarily begin to look forward to whether one day, the Great Song Dynasty will really be able to restore the prosperity of the past.

Zhao Yan of Lonely Mountain trembled excitedly, Ye Qing did not die in Guanshan, which made him feel a little regretful in his heart, but that little regret was too late to make him too depressed, Ye Qing gave him a great surprise again, the recovery of the three roads of the Hetao made him excited and couldn't help himself, staring at the mountains and rivers all day long.

Especially looking at the territory north of the Yellow River, after being planted with the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, I couldn't help but think of Yue Fei's words back then: driving a long car, stepping through the Helan Mountain.

Now that Ye Qing is almost bordering Helan Mountain, it is not impossible to take Helan Mountain one day and block the enemy from outside the territory.

Zhong Qing, who had not been to Lonely Mountain for a long time, stood quietly behind Zhao Yan who was looking up at the mountains and rivers, and next to her was the Queen Mother looking at her with a smile.

"If I can recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for my Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely personally greet Ye Qing at the Genshan Gate." Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at Zhong Qing who saluted him and said.

At this time, Ye Qing, who was in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Mansion, was standing under the city tower, personally welcoming the arrival of Hot Gongji.

Hot Gongji's face was very bad, and he was under house arrest by Ye Qing's people in Honglu for more than half a month, and this half a month seemed to be isolated from the world, so that he was completely unaware of what was going on outside.

And even if he was able to enter Jingzhao Mansion from the beginning of the red deer, but along the way, he did not come into contact with any useful news, as for why Ye Qing wanted to keep him in the red deer, he didn't think that Ye Qing would be bored, just to humiliate himself, in his opinion, this bastard must have taken advantage of this time to do another earth-shattering thing.

Looking at the few officials behind Ye Qing, and then at the empty city gate, Hot Gongji turned his head and looked behind him, and the envoys he brought with him were more than Ye Qing greeting him.

"Is this how Lord Ye entertains the old man? When Lord Ye triumphed from the Liao Kingdom, he ....... Hot Gongji asked coldly, as if it had never happened to him, as if it had never happened.

"Wait, wait, the prime minister has to bear more, there are not enough people in his hands recently, there is no way, how about making do with it first? After all, in the battle of Guanshan, I, Ye Qing, can be said to have escaped death, and now I can stand in front of the prime minister alive, which is already commendable. Ye Qing smiled and invited the hot Gongji into the city.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was jumping around and stronger than a donkey in heat, Hot Gongji just snorted in his nostrils, looked at Ye Qing, who was now full of spring breeze, and asked tentatively: "In this way, Lord Ye's battle on the three roads of Hetao seems to be going well." ”

"Where and where, the war can't be discussed, and the prime minister also knows that this war is easy to fight, but the people are not safe, and those who can kill the enemy on horseback may not know how to appease the people, and send local officials, right? So now the Chang'an City Office is empty, all because I was sent to Hetao Third Road, so there is no one available in my hands at this time. By the way, has the Prime Minister ever reported peace to your country? Ye Qing also asked with concern as if he had not been under house arrest at all in Red Deer.

Hot Gongji rolled his eyelids, sat down directly and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, now the Xiqin Road has been almost settled, but it happens to look across the Yellow River from your country, these days, every day I can see your country's army standing on the opposite side of the majestic and high-spirited, I am afraid that they will think that I will be slow to treat the Prime Minister, and then fight across the Yellow River in anger." Ye Qing said with a smile.

"In this way, the three roads of the Hetao are already in Lord Ye's pocket?" Hot Gongji's heart sank involuntarily, and he began to understand why Ye Qing had put himself under house arrest in the red deer, this was for fear of making trouble for himself, and it was also to use himself to blackmail the army of the Xia Kingdom not to act rashly.

"Almost, now there are only some complicated things left on Fengxiang Road, but I estimate that it will be solved in another ten days and half a month, and then I will not only be able to be a neighbor with you in Guanshan, but also a neighbor with you in Xiqin Road, and I can also be a neighbor with Temujin, how good is this, the three of us have nothing to do with each other often." Ye Qing motioned for the hot Gongji to drink tea.

Hot Gongji heard Ye Qing mention Temujin, and couldn't help but sink his heart again, this Ye Qing would never casually bring up Temujin, saying it so easily, it was obviously putting pressure on himself, which also made Hot Gongji feel that the Sangkun in his hand was becoming more and more a hot potato that was difficult to dispose of.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't mention the topic of Sangkun at all, he just sighed in a vague way, since the first battle of Red Luguan, he has been bedridden due to injuries, and he was only able to get off the kang until yesterday, and even so, the doctor also told him that he must not be too tired and so on.

Hot Gongji was in a complicated mood with a teacup, he couldn't see that Ye Qing didn't look like a person who had just recovered from a long illness at all, the smugness between his eyebrows, the high-spirited expression, how he looked like he had just experienced a happy event.

"Didn't Temujin have wolf ambitions, did he really watch Lord Ye seize the three roads of the Jinren's Hetao?" After relieving his emotions for a while, he asked quietly.

"The Prime Minister of Guanshan War, did you expect that Temujin was determined not to interfere? And what happened after that, doesn't the Prime Minister know better than me? Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Hot Gongji was silent again in an instant, to put it bluntly, he came this time, just like a defeated country seeking peace, and he really had no confidence and strength, what tricks did he play in negotiations with Ye Qing, shaking the chips in his hand.

"The matter of Guanshan is the old man's fault, the old man misbelieved the Song Ting's gossip to confuse the public, but Lord Ye, you should also understand ......the old man's difficulties." Hot Gongji had to start trying to lower his posture, he knew that insisting on a high profile would not have a good effect at all for Ye Qing, who was now proud of the spring breeze.

"Empty-handed?" Ye Qing looked up and down at the hot Gongji who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and then looked at the hall, a few officials of the Xia Kingdom who wanted to glare at him angrily, but after his own gaze, one by one lowered his head and asked.

"Since Lord Ye has directly picked it out, then the old man will not be a mother-in-law, since Lord Ye no longer pursues the matter of Guan Shan, then the old man will be more generous, how about giving Sang Kun to Lord Ye for disposal? Regardless of whether Lord Ye killed or sent Temujin, the old man had no opinion. After being generous, he lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Ye, in fact, I really want to keep Sang Kun in my Xia Kingdom, this person's talent makes the old man admire him very much, and he can be described as a rare tiger general." But the old man also knew that Sang Kun and Lord Ye were friends for eight worships, so the old man could only give him to Lord Ye with pain, which could be said to have added another fierce general to Lord Ye's command. ”

"Then in that case, how can Ye win people's love? I'll leave it to the Prime Minister. Come, send off. Ye Qing directly picked up the teacup, unwilling to waste his spit with Hot Gongji, and said coldly.
