Song Qingshu watched coldly, knowing that the current situation was the result of the cooperation between the various forces in the DPRK and China. The other party came prepared, and it would be meaningless for him to hold on, so he quickly cut through the mess and said directly: "This king thinks what you said is reasonable. , staying in the palace is indeed easy to attract criticism, how about this, I will move out today, but the safety of the official family cannot be ignored, someone’s suggestion just now is very good, so let’s find a house near the palace, and I will guard it there , It can also prevent other great masters or some unscrupulous people from invading the palace."
All the ministers in the palace looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect him to agree to leave the palace so soon. You must know that they had prepared a few killer tricks to no avail.
But since the other party admitted to withdraw from the palace, they couldn't force him too much. After all, the other party's prestige and martial arts were there, so they accepted his proposal and ordered the Secretary of the Imperial City to find a house near the palace to house him.
Taking a panoramic view of the reactions of the people in the hall, Song Qingshu secretly sighed, whether it was Kangxi or Tang Kuobian before, it was relatively easier to take over the government, which made him a little careless about this power game. In front of the stage, it was discovered how treacherous and murderous the center of power is.
He can indeed use absolute force to make these people submit now, but each circle has its own rules of the game. If you want to break the game directly like the protagonist in the past, unless you directly destroy the entire game like the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia in history. If the country is destroyed and rebuilt, then naturally you can decide for yourself, otherwise you have to follow the existing rules.
Although the Song Dynasty was weak in history, it was only the country that was weak, and everyone had a strong character. They fought against Liao, Jin, and Mongolia. Although there were some traitors, more were loyal and passionate people. The Jingkang incident was everywhere in the Central Plains The rebel army, the brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui who rushed to the rescue outside Xiangyang knowing that they would die, and the soldiers and soldiers who jumped into the sea in the Battle of Yashan are all a microcosm of them.
Song Youhou has treated scholars for hundreds of years. Although there are many disadvantages, they have also cultivated the character of literati. Zhendexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others are famous Confucians in Confucianism, and they have a high prestige in the ruling and opposition parties. Acknowledge their integrity. Although the prince impeached himself this time, it was clear that they did not approve of the behavior of staying in the court.
Song Qingshu is unwilling to use force to break the spine and strength of literati because of his own selfish desires, which is not good for the entire country and nation. So he hesitated again and again, and finally chose to give in temporarily.
Of course, he was not so pedantic that in order to prove his integrity, he left the palace directly without doing anything. After the morning court, he returned to the palace and began to make intensive arrangements—it was still very early in the evening, so naturally he didn’t need to immediately Move out of the palace.
First, he greeted Wang Ziteng and strictly ordered the palace guards not to allow anyone to approach the emperor unless there was an edict. Now Wang Ziteng and him are grasshoppers on the same line, so naturally outsiders will not be allowed to know the real situation of the emperor. As for the edict, it is actually his and Wang Ziteng's intention now.
Then came the emperor Zhao Gou, who kept him in a coma with the method of moving the soul and unique acupuncture techniques, just in case. After all, the palace is so big, and all forces have extended their tentacles in, so they can't be kept under Prince Teng's hands. Which guards were bought. In this way, even if some people saw Zhao Gou, they would not be able to get any honor from him.
Then there are imperial physicians, court ladies, eunuchs, etc., all of which have been replaced by newcomers. Unfortunately, these things can only be done as best as possible. After all, he is not from the background of his confidants, and he is not sure whether the people he carefully selected will cause problems. .
The people from Vulture Palace and Golden Snake Camp are still on their way, and it may take a few days before they arrive. He does have some people in Lin'an City, but many of the people in Prince Qi's Palace are selected by Ren Yingying from the Sun Moon God Sect Well, these people are good enough to dominate the underworld, most of them are not suitable for a place like the imperial palace, and the same is true for the manpower of the beggar gang.
As for those people in He Tieshou's brothel, Song Qingshu didn't want to have a wave of ups and downs, and if those moral gentlemen knew their origins, they would not be able to fry the pot.
So during this transition period, he can only sit beside Zhao Gou at any time to prevent any accidents from happening. Unexpectedly, he was caught by someone with a heart and forced him out of the palace abruptly.
"Finally, I have seen the horror of this group of professional trolls!" Recalling the situation in the early dynasty, Song Qingshu felt dizzy for a while. The group of literati did not swear by dirty words, and they could quote scriptures in every sentence. It really broke your spine. Don't know how to refute yet.
The reason why Song Qingshu didn't continue to argue, and agreed to leave the palace so quickly, was because he realized a fatal flaw, that is, the imperial court did not have his own team.
Look at the prince, it was clearly his intention, but he did not express his opinion from the beginning to the end, and there were a lot of people around him cheering for him; there are also two old foxes, Shi Miyuan and Xue Ji, who have been sitting on the Diaoyutai all the time, but if it weren't for the two of them Secretly instructed, how could the prince's people make such a big battle just now
I have already fallen into the inferior position when I personally ended the debate with Zhen Dexiu and other great scholars. Originally, with his status, he should be a referee, not a debater. Unless he reaches the level of Zhuge Liang who is fighting with Confucians, he is doomed to lose from the beginning.
But where can I find a team that will cheer for me in a short time
When Song Qingshu was suffering from a headache, suddenly the guards came to report that someone from the Imperial City Division begged to see him.
"Huangcheng Division? Bring him in!" Song Qingshu was secretly annoyed. Just now, the court decided to let the people from Huangcheng Division be responsible for finding him a residence near the palace. As a result, the people from Huangcheng Division came to the door so early. They couldn't wait. The land wants to drive me away.
Clay figurines are also somewhat angry, not to mention that Song Qingshu is in a high position now, and he was bullied by those Qingliu literati before. Now a secret service agency like Huangchengsi is the territory of that old fox Xue Ji, so he naturally doesn't need to have any scruples , decided to give the people of the Imperial City Department a little bit of color later, and let them know what it means to be under one person and above ten thousand people, and what is the bearing of a great master.
Not long after, light footsteps sounded outside the door, and Song Qingshu thought to himself that Huangcheng Secretary was well-deserved of his reputation, and anyone he could find was good at lightness kung fu. The two sides are not in the same camp.
He clearly heard the other party coming in, but Song Qingshu pretended not to know, and continued to look down at the official document, deciding to hang the other party up to dry before talking.
After about a cup of tea, the man finally couldn't help but said: "Report to King Qi, the Secretary of the Imperial City has already prepared the house, and please ask King Qi to go and have a look. If there is anything dissatisfied, we will It’s time to replace it.”
Song Qingshu couldn't help being startled, the other party's intention was as expected, but the other party's voice was soft and pleasant, clearly the voice of a young girl in her prime.
Looking up, I saw a young girl with red lips and white teeth, and a plump appearance. Even though she was dressed in the men's uniform of the Imperial City Department, it was still difficult to hide her elegant and dignified temperament.
"Why is it you?" Song Qingshu asked in surprise, the girl in men's clothing in front of him had met him a few times, and she was the eldest lady of the Xue family—Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai smiled slightly: "Everyone in the Imperial City Division knew that King Qi was under a lot of fire during the early court today, and it must be bad luck to come here now, so they are all unwilling to come, and the arduous task of pushing back and forth has to fall on me." No. If you can’t make it through, you will be shut down by the prince once you come here.”
"Those colleagues of yours are cunning." Song Qingshu had to admit that their move was really clever. He had just decided to give a lesson to the people in the Imperial City Department to vent his anger, but facing the bright-eyed and kind girl in front of him, plus half a Acquaintance, he was really embarrassed to do it.
It seems that beautiful women can indeed play an unexpected lubricating role in the workplace. Song Qingshu's anger has subsided most of it unconsciously, and he immediately put those words that he swore just now behind him. It seems that everything can't escape the law of true fragrance .
"In the early court, all civil and military officials in the court criticized my harem, and there were many of your father's confidantes, but now you are sending a beautiful girl like you here, isn't your father worried about sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?" Song Qingshu deliberately said seriously. said the face.
Xue Baochai blushed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "The beauties and confidants around King Qi are all beautiful and beautiful, so naturally they don't like the posture of a willow like me, not to mention that I have a duty, and I don't think about other things."
"The pose of a willow tree?" Song Qingshu looked her up and down with a strange face, and couldn't help but said, "Miss Xue, you have a pose like a willow tree, so who in this world dares to call herself a beauty?"
From childhood to adulthood, Xue Baochai praised her countless times for her beauty, but for some reason, she was deeply impressed by the words that the other party was not casual. It may be related to the status of the speaker.
But after all, she is a secret agent of the Imperial City Division, and she quickly recovered: "King Qi really likes to please girls like rumors. I didn't take seriously the proposals of those Qingliu gentlemen in the court, but now it seems how correct their decision is. .”
Song Qingshu's face darkened: "Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"I don't dare for a lowly position," Xue Baochai saluted, and then said, "King Qi please go to the mansion to have a look first. If you are not satisfied, I will order someone to change it immediately."
Song Qingshu glanced at the sky outside the window, then shook his head: "It's still morning, shall we go later?"
"I'm afraid there will be too little time later." Xue Baochai looked embarrassed, "there are not many houses next to the palace, and all of them are the residences of princes and ministers. It is quite troublesome to ask people to make room."
Song Qingshu frowned: "Such harassment may offend some ministers for no reason."
Xue Baochai said: "In fact, our Imperial City Division has several courtyards, so I want to invite King Qi to take a look."
Song Qingshu originally wanted to say that any place is fine, but he immediately thought that if the Secretary of the Imperial City deliberately arranged for him a very remote place, keeping him away from the emperor, it would be troublesome, so he had to see the place himself.
"You are so anxious to ask me to watch, you don't mean to lure me away on purpose, and come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?" Song Qingshu looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously.
Xue Baochai showed a shy look on her face, and said with some embarrassment: "The main reason is that the people in the Imperial City Division are unwilling to come to trouble, so I can only be responsible for this matter. I am worried that the time will be too late, and you know that I am alone. Miss, if I keep going in and out of private houses with you at night, it will be a little... a little inconvenient after all."
Song Qingshu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and for a long time she also regarded herself as a pervert in her heart!
"Brother Song, can you help?" Xue Baochai was also embarrassed, with big eyes open, a little guilty and a little begging.
"Okay, let's take a look first." Song Qingshu responded without embarrassment, but secretly sneered in his heart, thinking how could the woman from the Imperial City Secretary be a scheming little white rabbit, the other party looked like this Most of them are three points true and seven points false, but it's good to take the opportunity to see what these people want to do.
As for the imperial palace, he had already arranged everything, so it would be good to take this opportunity to check for any loopholes.
"In fact, I've always been curious. Ms. Xue, you come from a famous family, and you are a rich lady. Why did you choose to join a place like the Imperial City Division?" Song Qingshu couldn't help asking curiously when he was leaving the door.
