Chapter 525 Invitation
Zhao Gou is very smart, he did not hand over Niccolò, Matteo and others to Ye Qing, but was still placed in the Lin'an Post House by Shi Miyuan, just to prevent the open and secret struggle between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, and would not harm the interests of the Romans towards him.
The Romans who went to Quanzhou were accompanied by Li Heng, and Zhao Gou believed that there would be no problems along the way, not to mention that this was also a good thing for the city in the future, and it was also a large amount of wealth.
And Niccolò and Matteo, who stayed in Lin'an, were not in such a good situation in Lin'an, mixed between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, and in the future, they would inevitably become Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan's pawns in the competition for the Napo Li system, and there would even be one side, thinking of killing Niccolò and Matteo to frame the blame for the other party, so that the Romans who had left Quanzhou could be used by themselves after they returned.
The Romans believed Ye Qing, but Zhao Gou handed over the Romans to Shi Miyuan to settle, so that if Ye Qing wanted to get the Poli system, he would have to go through the layers of checkpoints set up by Shi Miyuan for him to meet the Romans, so as to prevent Ye Qing from getting the Romans' Poli system.
And Shi Miyuan obviously can't easily put Niccolò and Matteo to death because the Romans believe in Ye Qing and lean towards Ye Qing, after all, people are handed over to him by the emperor, if something happens, Shi Miyuan will definitely not be able to escape being questioned.
Han Cheng and Ye Qing walked out side by side, and couldn't help but smile and said, "In this way, the Emperor Taishang knows you and Shi Miyuan quite well." Let Ye Qing see but not touch, let Shi Miyuan touch it, but don't dare to have any evil thoughts, smart. ”
"It's not so much that the Emperor Taishang understands his nephew and Shi Miyuan, but that the Emperor's grasp of human nature has reached the point of perfection. The Emperor Taishang did not decide the ownership of the Poli system in the main hall today, obviously the Emperor Taishang was delaying, because he didn't want his nephew to get involved with Shi Miyuan. Ye Qing smiled.
On the main hall just now, Zhao Gou walked away as if he had forgotten the most important Po Li method, obviously he didn't want this brilliant Po Li to be controlled by anyone, if he could, Zhao Gou naturally wanted to be controlled by the royal family, not in the hands of the courtiers.
After all, whether it is Ye Qing's soap, Xinqi, or the Shi family and Pu Jiazhang's Shibo Division, Zhao Gou, who lives a comfortable life in Lin'an and wants to continue to be luxurious, feels a little bit of restraint, and lacks a trace of freedom to enjoy luxury as he wants.
In addition, now there is a saint Zhao Yan based on the court, so Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, wants to continue to live his life of leisure and luxury, without looking at Zhao Yan's face, so he can only hold the best things in his own hands.
The Imperial City Division provided him, the Emperor, with the right to deter his courtiers, and the City Division provided him with extravagant money, but as time went by, whether it was the City Division or the Imperial City Division, there were now signs of Zhao Yan being involved and installing people.
Therefore, if Zhao Gou wants to really do what he wants, he must not want to see the monolithic Imperial City Division and the City Division, and naturally hopes that these two divisions will serve him and be loyal to him.
"I don't think you mean to be disappointed, do you...... You don't really care about the Palli method that the Romans promised you? Han Cheng looked at Ye Qing with a smile, since he was separated from Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing's expression returned to his usual easy-going appearance, as if he didn't care much about the Poli method slipping out of his hand.
Ye Qing, who had been chanting silently in his mouth, or occasionally thinking of some words, smiled and said: "Some things are your own, and you can't get rid of them, if it's not your own, even if you hold it tightly in the palm of your hand, it doesn't belong to you, at most it's just for someone else." Shi Miyuan and King Xin, there will inevitably be their little Jiujiu, but the time is still early, we should see first, what kind of Poli can the Romans put on the lonely mountain corridor behind them. ”
"yes." Han Cheng glanced at the lonely mountain corridor behind him, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Another reason why the Emperor Taishang handed over the Romans who stayed in Lin'an to Shi Miyuan is that he knows that this lonely mountain corridor will cost a lot of money if he wants to install the brilliant Poli, and the Emperor Taishang obviously will not come out of the money, but can only be paid by the City Ship Division, so this can be regarded as the Emperor Taishang's appeasement and transaction with the City Ship Division, or the Shi family." ”
"So there's time and opportunity, isn't it?" Ye Qing said mysteriously.
"You...... What does it mean to be a virtuous nephew? Han Cheng looked slightly stunned, and then muttered.
"The little nephew can't say it now, but I have to see what kind of thing Shi Miyuan can put on this corridor first." Ye Qing pointed to a boat on the West Lake, and just said to Shi Miyuan that Bai Bingzhong and Zhu Xi were on the boat now, hoping that Han Cheng could act as a lobbyist for him and explain to Bai Bingzhong about Fan Niande, when a palace maid suddenly hurriedly walked out of the small door next to him.
Looking at the palace maid in front of him, Ye Qing was about to speak, when he heard the palace maid hurriedly salut and said, "Ye Shaoqing, His Royal Highness the Prince, please come over." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and for some reason in his mind, he suddenly remembered Li Fengniang's delicate body writhing like a white snake under him that night.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he had something important to discuss with Shaoqing, and I hope Shaoqing will not refuse." The palace maid lowered her head and continued.
Ye Qing couldn't help but look at Han Cheng next to him, Han Cheng, who also had doubts in his expression, looked at Ye Qing and looked at him, and when he looked at him, a smile instantly appeared on his face and said: "Virtuous nephew might as well go over, as for the matter of Ling's father-in-law, just leave it to me, what's more, if you are present, even if I can explain it clearly, I'm afraid that your old father-in-law won't pull down his son in front of you, right?" ”
"Then thank you Uncle Han, the little nephew will come to the door another day to thank you." Ye Qing saluted Han Cheng with an easy-going smile.
Han Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Ye Qing and the palace maid to walk into the Lonely Mountain Garden behind him again, and then walked towards the shore of the West Lake.
Following the palace maid approaching the Lonely Mountain Garden again, she did not pass by the winding corridor, but chose a slightly winding path and came to a rather secluded royal palace.
The palace complex is not very large, just like the buildings in the Lin'an Palace, because of the small place, so this small palace group is built to make the best use of things.
As the palace maid walked into the palace, she had just saluted the prince Zhao Dan, who stood up with a happy smile, and the prince immediately took Ye Qing's arm and sat down on the chair and said, "Gu took the liberty of inviting Shaoqing to come over and talk about it, and I hope that Shaoqing Haihan will ......." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, the minister is the duty of the minister, the minister is the courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally he is also the courtier of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince is called, and the minister naturally has to come as soon as possible, so as to be the duty of the minister." Ye Qing got up again from the chair that had just been pressed by Zhao Dian and said respectfully.
"Shaoqing must not be polite to Lone, Lone invited Shaoqing over today, there is something I want to ask, but I don't know if Shaoqing is willing to tell the truth?" The crown prince Zhao is about the same age as Ye Qing, but there is a hint of anger between his eyebrows, which does not feel very comfortable.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please ask, the minister should know everything and say everything." Ye Qing sat on the chair and bowed slightly.
Li Fengniang on the side looked at the respectful and humble appearance of the minister Ye Qing, and her heart was full of contempt, if it weren't for the prince's side, Li Fengniang was afraid that she would have to make a storm of ridicule at Ye Qing again.
After speaking, Ye Qing looked up at the prince, waiting for the prince to ask him, but he saw the prince's gaze move to Li Fengniang, so he instantly understood in his heart that the so-called invitation of His Royal Highness the prince was afraid that it would still have nothing to do with this girl, it seemed that Li Fengniang asked the prince to summon him over.
When Ye Qing's eyes also looked at Li Fengniang along with the prince, Li Fengniang walked down from the main hall and came to the two men, without looking at the prince, her beautiful eyes only stared at Ye Qing, who stood up with a humble and respectful expression, and said: "This palace asks you, why are you above the main hall today, not fighting for the method of making the Po Li in front of the emperor?" Do you know how expensive this is Ploy? This lonely mountain promenade alone is expensive! Why would you want to miss such a great opportunity? ”
"This ...... Back to the crown princess, I am afraid that the minister will not be able to be the master of this matter, presumably the emperor has already made a decision in his heart, so he did not hand it over to the minister. Ye Qing replied with a slight salute.
The crown prince next to him, Zhao Dan, nodded from time to time when Li Fengniang asked, obviously he and Li Fengniang had the same idea, it was a pity that Ye Qing did not seize the great opportunity to get the Poli method in the main hall today.
"The Romans have already promised you, and you are the only one who can talk to the Romans all night, who else can talk to the Romans in this matter but you? I think this is something you did on purpose, you don't want this Palli method, you just want to keep your soap and new burn to make a fortune, right? Li Fengniang did not become gentle and calm because of Ye Qing's words, and her tone was still aggressive.
"Chen Yeqing is just a courtier of my Great Song Dynasty, no matter what, he should be headed by the will of the Emperor Tai and the Holy Lord. As a courtier, how can you easily ...... to the courtiers? Ye Qing glanced at the prince next to him, and then said to Li Fengniang.
"You don't tell me these useless prevarications, how important is the Poli method, can you Ye Qing know in your heart? Do you know that after today, Na Miyuan will definitely use all his means to win over those two Romans, so as to obtain the Napoli system before you, and once they get it, what else can you do? Could it be that he watched a large amount of money being earned by Shi Miyuan alone? Li Fengniang was in front of the prince and made no secret of her greed for money.
And the crown prince Zhao Dian didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Li Fengniang's words, even Li Fengniang's aggressive tone, in Zhao Dan's opinion, was just the crown princess's reprimand and spur to a courtier.
"This thing...... I'm afraid that the minister won't be able to be the master of this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, if the crown princess wants to make the law, you can talk to the emperor with His Royal Highness the prince, and tell the minister, I'm afraid it will be useless, right? Ye Qing lowered his head and looked at his shoes, and from time to time he would also aim at Li Fengniang's shoe tips that were peeking out from under the skirt.
