Since September of the third year of Qingyuan, after learning that Ye Qing had agreed to the imperial court to control the northern roads, there was a lot of turmoil in the Lin'an officialdom.

Even though this was the will of the imperial court to announce the ministry and the court, it still made Shi Miyuan and others a little uneasy. The whole September has been spent in the reaction of testing the Northland, and in September, after the trembling officials who were sent to the Northland like a guillotine went to the Northland for more than a month, and there was no disappearance for no reason, accidents and other things, the entire imperial court really put their minds at ease, and believed that Ye Qing had really returned the officials of some states and governments to the imperial court.

Since October, the entire Lin'an court has begun to fall into open and secret battles, and some officials who are unhappy with their careers have begun to have the idea of going to the north to serve as a messenger after seeing that the north is no longer a terrifying Longtan tiger's den.

The unhappiness in the officialdom of various roads in the south of the Yangtze River has hindered their careers and made it difficult to be promoted, so for some people, today's Northland has obviously become the only platform for them to change their careers.

Although the northern region is poorer than the other roads in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not a difficult thing for officials who have been immersed in officialdom for many years and have long been accustomed to using various names and methods to collect money.

The officials believed that as long as they could know the county of a county, or the governor of the prefecture or the prefect, as long as they themselves had the final say, then they would have a way to easily turn the money in the people's pockets into money in their own pockets.

Before, because of the pros and cons of life and money, most people chose to die, but now that they can go to the Northland, for more people, the Northland can now be regarded as a place far away from the Emperor of the Sky.

The imperial court was already unfavorable to the temperance of the northern land, and now even if they opened their mouths, they also believed that it would be difficult for the imperial court to truly exercise full control over the northern provinces, prefectures, and counties like the various roads in the south of the Yangtze River, so for them, this is the best opportunity to enter the northern land to collect money.

The officials who want to be the first to eat crabs are getting older and older in October, whether it is the mansion of the Ministry of Officials, or Li Xinchuan, Yan Keji, even in front of the mansion of Zhao Shikui, the Duke of Rongguo, now it is full of people, and there are no less than dozens of officials who come in and out every day.

Although Shi Miyuan handed over these benefits to a few people, whether it was Lou Key, Li Xinchuan, or Rong Guogong, there was still the consciousness of the people who did not forget to dig wells, so since late October, Shi Miyuan has not stopped transporting real money and silver to the mansion, as well as all kinds of treasured calligraphy and paintings.

In front of the mansions of Li Lifang, Bi Zaiyu, Qian Xiangzu and others, although it is not as lively as the door of the mansions of Li Xinchuan and others, there will be big moves in the officialdom of the north, and the news that the imperial court has full authority to control a few roads has also attracted some officials who do not know how many layers of relationships and how much money they have made, and finally they can board the mansions of Li Lifang and several others, and they have also begun to play the idea of a few roads in the north.

Although there were not a few officials at the gate of Xie Shenfu's mansion, there were more literati during this time, although few of them directly wanted to go through Xie Shenfu's door, but Xie Shenfu's son Xie Qubo was very interested in going to the north to serve as a mission, and in these days, he had sent several letters to Xie Shenfu.

The officials sharpened their heads and stabbed into the officialdom of the Northland, but even so, most of the officials did not lose their minds because of the fat in the Northland, and they obviously knew their strength and the strength of the forces behind them, so most of them were competing for some counties and states in the Northland.

For places such as Jinan Mansion on Shandong Road, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Yingtianfu and other places on Bianjing Road, as well as the two state capitals on Hedongnan Road, although the number of people competing is relatively small, the situation is much more tragic than the disputes between states and counties that are not big or small.

Jinan Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Luoyang Mansion, and Yingtian Mansion belong to the four most competitive prefectures, and those who are self-aware naturally give up the competition early, and those who feel that they have the ability to compete have to look back at the forces behind them, yes

Not stronger than the competition.

So in the end, although the number of people competing for these four provinces is the smallest, no matter who is behind it, its power above the court should not be underestimated.

Bai Chun slowly put down the letter in his hand, looked at Ye Qing, who was not in a hurry at all, and frowned: "You don't really want to watch the territory you have worked so hard to fight and let these corrupt officials and corrupt officials do harm, right?" ”?“ By the way, Lonely City and Wujian had to pester Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao, and I couldn't help it, so they went to break the camp together. Ye Qing spread his hands innocently.

Bai Chun's eyes instantly flashed with cold light, and he glared at Ye Qing vigorously, Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuji, not long after coming to Yanjing, they began to be interested in breaking the camp, especially the guns in the hands of Ye Qing, Mo Xiaobao, and Zhong Silkworm, and they were full of strong affection.

And Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng, as the biological mothers of Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuji, naturally did not want Ye Gucheng and Ye Wujian to dance with knives and guns when they grew up, just like Ye Qing.

But unfortunately, not long after coming to Yanjing, the two of them seemed to have been infected by their father, and they followed Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao's butts almost every day for the past few days, pestering the two to go out of the city to play.

The two didn't dare to blatantly ask his father for a gun, but for Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, who had always been extremely tolerant and loving to them, the two of them didn't have those scruples, so since they hunted with a gun outside Yanjing City, the two of them completely fell in love with the rifle.

"The matter of the Black Stone of Otani Mountain has not yet settled accounts with you, and you are now ...... the two of them." Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, he was angry but couldn't say it, so he had to threaten Ye Qingdao.

"It has nothing to do with me, it's the two of them who like it, and it's not that I have to like ...... them." Ye Qing said innocently.

"If you don't let them touch, will they dare? Without your approval, they dare to touch those ...... You yourself say that the knife and gun have no eyes, if you are injured, it depends on how you explain to Allure. Bai Chun said angrily.

"No, this thing is very safe, not to mention that with Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm by his side, what can happen." Ye Qing had to comfort Bai Chun, who was worried, and then changed the topic: "When King Qing and Chongguo Gong were in Lin'an, they discussed with the imperial court about the Northland Prison, but because I was busy with the matter of gold attack after I returned to the Northland, the matter of the Prison has not been able to really settle ....... ”

"So have you ever thought that once the officials from Lin'an or Jiangnan come to the Northland, will it really be beneficial to the Northland? Don't forget, Lin'an is so noisy now, precisely because of the current dispatch from the north, and these officials will inevitably go through various ways for their own careers, and send a lot of silver to officials above the court to seek a prosperous career. Which of these people is willing to spend his own money? Isn't it time to deduct it from the people? Although Bai Chun knew that Ye Qing was changing the topic, she was looking for Ye Qing because now that Ye Qing returned the northern land to the imperial court, it was possible to make the people suffer.

Looking at Ye Qing, who didn't speak and pondered, Bai Chun continued: "You are already weak above the Lin'an court, and over the years, you have never put your mind on running the court. So...... This...... Once those officials in the south of the Yangtze River who were for their careers and money entered the states and counties of the Northland, they ....... ”

"Isn't there an umbrella?" After Ye Qing glanced at Bai Chun, he said lightly: "The Imperial City Division hasn't all been abandoned over the years, has it?" Dong Chao has been busy with the affairs of Jin and Mongolia now, and the affairs of the north and the imperial court ....... ”

"Then you need to bring Lan'er to Yanjing, but is Li Heng willing?" Bai Chun said angrily.

Bai Chun is quite self-aware, she has been in Chang'an for many years, and she has actually been able to control the umbrella, except for Ye Qing to support her, it is because she has a good staff Liu Lan'er.

It's just that now, after she came to Yanjing, Liu Lan'er naturally went to Xingqing Mansion

It's not like before, I will return to Chang'an from time to time and discuss some things with Bai Chun, but now Bai Chun is the one who decides and sorts out.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was still calm, Bai Chun couldn't help frowning and wondering: "Giving up the moderation of a few roads in the Northland, are you calculating something?" Or...... Did you do this on purpose? ”

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows in some surprise, looked at Bai Chundao, and said, "Is the northern land used as bait?" ”

Bai Chun nodded silently, looking at Ye Qing's unhurried and unworried appearance now, which made her have to wonder if Ye Qing still had some ulterior secrets behind her.

Ye Qing did not directly answer Bai Chun's question, but raised his head and sighed slightly melancholy: "It is difficult to eradicate corruption in the officialdom, not to mention, even if you want to eliminate it, it can't just be the northern land in the future, but the entire Great Song Dynasty officialdom." The main thing is...... All this still needs to see if Zhao Kuo has this intention, if Zhao Kuo does not have this intention, even if I take strict precautions, it will be a symptom but not a root cause, and it will not be able to solve the corruption in officialdom from the root. ”

"So you plan to make a big deal and let corruption show up in the Northland, so that Zhao Kuo can really face ......." Bai Chun asked solemnly.

"If Zhao Kuo copied Shi Miyuan's home, how many good things do you think he can copy?" With a sneer on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, he slowly got up and walked to Bai Chun, stroked his still white and tender cheeks, and thought for a while: "Even if Shi Miyuan is now the left minister, the officials are actually still tightly held in his hands, so ...... I'm eager to see how many of his henchmen he will send in ......the Northlands. ”

"Not a single one, at least now." Bai Chun grabbed Ye Qing's hand on her face, and said with both hands gently holding that hand.

"Then let's wait and see, maybe now, Shi Miyuan's attitude towards the Northland is still more cautious, but according to my guess, it is impossible for Shi Miyuan not to touch such a large piece ......of bait I threw at him."

"Do you want to move Shi Miyuan directly?" Bai Chun couldn't help but ask with both hands.

Ye Qing looked down at the hand that was tightly held by Bai Chun, and asked rhetorically, "Why can't you?" Don't you know how aggrieved I have been above the court all these years? Now that I live in Yanjing, I control the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, and I am also the king of Yan who was promoted by the imperial court, so whether it is for the sake of the court or the people, shouldn't I eradicate Shi Miyuan, the biggest corrupt person in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"You ......." Bai Chun couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Since Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, there will be bloodshed every time he returns to Lin'an, and now there are rumors that Ye Qing and Lin'an are mutually restrictive, just like Lin'an's broom star, every time he returns to Lin'an, he always has to make some noise that makes the entire court follow the shock.

Tang Siwei can not be counted, starting from Wang Huai, Ye Qing almost every time he returns to Lin'an, there will be a powerful minister above the court who will fall, Zhao Ruyu is like this, Han Yanxuan is the same, King Xin is also like this, and even ...... The deaths of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong are inextricably linked to Ye Qing's return to Lin'an.

"It's time for me Ye Qing to raise my eyebrows, over the years, every time I return to Lin'an, which time is not trembling and in danger?" The sneer on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth slowly began to spread.

"So when you return to Lin'an this time, you will lead a large army to the south with you?" Bai Chun asked hesitantly.

In Bai Chun's opinion, after Ye Qing was named the Queen of Yan, Ye Qing should take this opportunity to further improve the relationship with the imperial court and increase mutual trust, instead of returning to Lin'an with the smell of demonstration or settling old accounts.

But obviously, Ye Qing, who has been angry with the court for so many years, is not willing, this time he plans to expand the territory with him, whether it is to plan the next step to seek the momentum of the court, or to settle old accounts with the court and officials, in short, Ye Qing will return to Lin'an this time, obviously he will not be as cautious and trembling as before.
