As soon as Li Yanqing returned home, the butler Uncle Tai came up and said, "Official, I have a letter from you!"

He handed over a letter, and Li Yanqing took it and looked at it. It was sent by the imperial physician Zhao Jici. There were only three words in the letter, "The medicine has arrived!"

Li Yanqing immediately understood the meaning of the letter and asked quickly: "When did the letter be sent?"

"About half an hour ago."

Before Li Yanqing could say hello to his family, he immediately got on the ox cart and ordered: "Go to East Street!"

The ox cart set off again, left Yunqi Bridge, and soon arrived at East Street. When passing Zhao Taicheng's clinic, Li Yanqing came out of the ox cart and walked straight into the clinic.

A child came up, "Will the official be in need of a medical treatment?"

"Are you Dr. Zhao here? I made an appointment with him."

"Is it Censor Li?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "That's right!"

"Please follow me, my grandfather is waiting in the house."

Li Yanqing followed the boy quickly into the inner hall and walked to the door. Zhao Jici smiled and greeted him, "I didn't expect that Jingshi Li came so quickly."

Li Yanqing bowed and smiled, "I came here to get the medicine!"

"The medicine is still there, please follow me."

Li Yanqing followed him into the inner hall and sat down. A child served them tea. Zhao Jici said to the second son next to him: "You go outside the door, no one is allowed to come in and disturb you!"

"Boy obeys the order!"

Zhao Er retreated, and then Zhao Jici took out a loquat-sized wax pill from the medical box and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Please go back and take the medicine!"

Li Yanqing put away the wax pills and asked again: "What is the patient's condition?"

"The patient is in good health, but his heart disease is too serious, especially because he has been restless in bed and food these days, and he is too anxious."

"Did you hear any unfavorable news?"

"I don't know much about the specific situation..."

Zhao Jici lowered his voice again and said, "But I heard it seems to be related to Prince Yun."

‘Prince Yun?’

Li Yanqing immediately understood that the Crown Prince Zhao Huan must have heard of the decision to appoint Prince Yun as the commander of the three armies. This is actually a sign of changing the crown prince. Once Prince Yun has the military power, at least 70% of them may have to change the crown prince. Could it be that Zhao Huan was anxious and sent secret letters to the outside world at all costs?

Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and stood up to say goodbye, "Thank you for your good medicine, I'm going to say goodbye."

"Censor Li walked away slowly. If there is any recurrence in the condition, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing turned around and left Zhao Taicheng's mansion. When he returned to the ox cart, he pulled the curtain and took out the wax balls and crushed them. It was a white silk the size of a handkerchief, and it was densely filled with small characters.

Li Yanqing read it quickly and couldn't help but be stunned. This was not a letter to him, but a secret decree to Prime Minister Fan Zhixu. Although Li Yanqing's name was also mentioned in the letter, it was mainly to Fan Zhixu, and he was just a helping agent.

Li Yanqing thought about it and said to the coachman: "Go to the right wing gate!"

In front of the Youye Gate of the Imperial City is a famous Guanzhai Street. The two-mile street is full of official houses. This was a group of official houses built by Emperor Shenzong of Song at that time, considering the housing difficulties of senior officials. They were basically more than ten acres. Only officials such as prime ministers at the vice-state level, officials at the magistrates and officials at the magistrates and officials were qualified to move in.

Fan Zhixu had no house in the capital, so he lived in one of the ten acres of official houses.

Fan Zhixu had just returned to the mansion, and he needed to calmly consider his next action strategy. Tong Guan's entry into Beijing was an important turning point, which marked that the Northern Expedition would change from the original discussion to a substantial deployment, or even a strategic national policy.

They only have two or three days left. Fan Zhixu was an official in Hebei for many years and knew that Hebei had accumulated military problems and was exhausted and the people were exhausted. Once the border gap was opened, there would be unexpected problems.

It is impossible to convince the emperor now, so he can only put huge pressure on the emperor to stop the hasty move of the Northern Expedition.

At this time, a child outside the study reported: "Report to my grandfather, I have urgent matters to ask for a meeting!"

Fan Zhixu was a little surprised. He had just broken up with Li Yanqing for not long, so why did Li Yanqing come to find him again? Is there anything important?

He quickly ordered: "Please come to the study to see me!"

Soon, the boy outside reported again: "Censor Li is here!"

"Please come in!"

The study door opened, Li Yanqing walked in quickly from outside, stepped forward and bowed, "See the Prime Minister!"

"Do you have any urgent matters to come to me?"

Li Yanqing glanced at the little boy next to him. Fan Zhixu knew it and waved his hand, "Get back!"

The little boy went down, and Li Yanqing closed the door again, then took out the white silk from his arms and handed it to Fan Zhixu, "Prime Minister, please see this!"

"This is..." Fan Zhixu took the white silk in confusion.

"This is the secret decree of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Fan Zhixu was shocked, and the white silk almost fell to the ground. He quickly spread the white silk on the table and looked carefully. It turned out that it was the prince Zhao Huan who begged them to stop the Northern Expedition, and his words were extremely sincere, especially the six words "Zhao Heng cried and supported him" were written in blood.

Fan Zhixu looked at it three times in a row, especially the last six words made his eyes red. He put the white silk on the table, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily and cried: "Your Highness's trust, Zhixu is not enough to repay him!"

He kowtowed three times before he stood up and asked Li Yanqing, "Where did you get this?"

"It was the imperial physician Zhao Jici who had just transferred it to me. I didn't stop and rushed to find the Prime Minister."

Speaking of this, Li Yanqing pointed at Bai Juan and said, "You must burn it immediately, otherwise you and I will be in trouble, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not escape this disaster!"

Fan Zhixu knew the serious consequences of the leak, so he read it carefully and remembered the contents, and then put the white silk into the incense burner and burned it.

Fan Zhixu sat down, and things became extremely complicated again. He pondered for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor actually made Prince Yun the commander of the three armies, which is a sign of fighting for the throne!"

"What do Fan Xiangguo plan to do?" Li Yanqing asked.

Fan Zhixu was silent for a long time and said, "To this day, the emperor has not given up on the Northern Expedition, which means that our pressure is not enough. I also received news that the temporary dynasty will be held the day after tomorrow. It is probably the decision to decide the Northern Expedition. Now, we can only give up. Today, I will start to launch a joint letter from all officials to oppose the Northern Expedition by joint letter. Yanqing, are you willing to sign the joint letter?"

Li Yanqing nodded silently. For more than ten years, he has been eager to change history and avoid the tragedy of Jingkang. Although his power is not strong enough, there are already a group of like-minded people. How can he refuse at this time? He also decided to give up. At worst, he would not want this humble official.

Fan Zhixu said happily: "Okay! Let's take action separately. I'll go to Zheng Juzhong to discuss the joint negotiation. You can help me do a big thing."

Li Yanqing bowed and bowed, "Please give orders to the Prime Minister!"

Li Yanqing is now Fan Zhixu's right-hand man. Of course, the tasks assigned by Fan Zhixu will not be easy, and it is an extremely critical link.

"You go to Cai Jing's mansion and try to convince Cai Jing to support the opposition to the Northern Expedition."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned. If he was going to persuade Cai Jing, wouldn't Fan Zhixu have more effective visits in person than himself?

"Bei Zhi and Cai Jing have no intersection. I am afraid that the persuasion will not work. It is not that Bei Zhi will give up, but that he is worried that he will miss the big thing. It is better to let Bei Zhi go to Liang Shicheng."

Fan Zhixu shook his head, "I'll go to find him in Shicheng Liang. I will write a letter to you and give it to Cai Jing. I have considered it repeatedly. You are the most suitable candidate. In some things, you see higher and deeper than me. Only you can talk to Cai Jing, so don't refuse!"

Li Yanqing had no choice but to agree. Fan Zhixu quickly wrote a letter to Li Yanqing, "Go! After the end, you go back and rest directly. No need to report to me. I may not be in the mansion. We will meet again tomorrow morning."

Li Yanqing took the letter, thought about it and said to Fan Zhixu: "I still don't believe in Qin Hui very much. He was recommended by Zhang Bangchang to be the chief of the Taixue Xuezheng. Now Zhang Bangchang and Wang Fu have a close relationship. At the critical moment, it is better to be careful and prevent it!"

Fan Zhixu smiled and said, "Okay! This time I follow your advice. I won't let him participate in some important things. You have to be careful. Wang Fu is a despicable person. At the last moment, be careful that he will hurt people with hidden arrows."

"Thank you for your concern to the Prime Minister. Remember me, I will say goodbye!"

Li Yanqing immediately left Fan Zhixu's mansion and sat in his ox cart. At this time, Zhang Hu stepped forward and whispered: "Report to the Censor, we found that someone was monitoring Fan Prime Minister's mansion."

“How many people are there?”

"There are still quite a lot of people, at least seven or eight."

Li Yanqing immediately said to him: "You go to Fan's Mansion now and tell the people in the mansion that someone is monitoring it outside."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Hu turned around and entered the mansion, said a few words to the butler. The butler's face suddenly changed. He looked around in horror, and ran towards the inner house.

Soon, Zhang Hu came back and reported: "I have already told them!"

Li Yanqing then ordered: "Let's go back to the house first!"
