Ye Qing's prestige in Lin'an may be almost the same as Shi Miyuan, Liuzheng and others due to the constraints of the imperial court, and even faintly inferior, but if it is in the Northland, as well as in Jin and Mongolia, Ye Qing's prestige is incomparable even to the Song Dynasty.

And for those Song people who were ministers in the Jin Kingdom, Ye Qing's every move was extremely important to them, and even a major event related to life and death.

It is precisely because Ye Qing never took the name behind him to heart, and it is precisely because he firmly believes in the correctness of his Northern Expedition and believes that future generations will have an objective justice that he can withstand the pressure and claim to be a hero in the Northland.

Zhu Xi and other scholars once again created momentum for Ye Qing in Lin'an and other places, and those assumptions that were based on ifs but were very close to the facts also made Ye Qing much less pressure than before when he went on another Northern Expedition.

The new monarch's ascension to the throne and the Northern Expedition to the North, no matter how you look at it, are all good and good things for Zhao Kuo, which can not only enhance the prestige of his young emperor among the people, but also make his prestige above the court transform into real rights because of the "honeymoon period" with Ye Qing now.

Han Yanjia, a member of the ministry, went to Kaifeng to supervise the matter of staying in the capital, so that the courtiers, including Shi Miyuan, followed the news of Ye Qing's second northern expedition from the north, so they chose to acquiesce in the saint's dispatch of Han Yanjia.

A small outsider obviously can't take on such a heavy responsibility, but the young king has made up his mind, and Han Yanjia, who is extremely frightened, has to bite the bullet, and his heart is full of all kinds of worries, and he accepts the dispatch of the saint with a slight joy that will come and go.

Ye Qing's Northern Expedition means that the northern land is now empty, and a small foreigner went to Kaifeng at this time, like a grasshopper shaking a tree, obviously unable to affect and contain Ye Qing's power and prestige in the northern land, but since the saint has chosen this person today, does it mean that it is .......

Shi Miyuan and Liuzheng and the others tacitly agreed, if as expected, as long as Han Yanjia did not make any trouble on this trip to the Northland, and did not provoke Ye Qing of the Northern Expedition, then when Han Yanjia came back, he would inevitably be promoted.

Therefore, this trip to the Northland is not so much to restrain Ye Qing's authority in the Northland like a grasshopper shaking a tree, but rather to be a means of promotion planned for his own career promotion.

Shi Miyuan acquiesced in the saint's dispatch to Han Yanjia, which does not mean that he has no ambition for the north, just like a deal with the young king, when Han Yanjia received the saint's send, Shi Miyuan coughed slightly, and saluted Zhao Kuo: "Kaifeng is the capital of Liu, it is the major event and the top priority of my dynasty, and King Qing is now presiding over the construction in Kaifeng, which must be quite hard." Wailang went to Kaifeng to supervise alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to make decisions on some decisions, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help King Qing be effective, so it is not a negative holy will. Therefore, the minister's invitation card is sage, and you may wish to issue an order to allow other courtiers to accompany them with the head of the foreign courtier, so that it can naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and it can also be completed as soon as possible. ”

Shi Miyuan's words were extremely beautiful, that is, he saved the face of the young king, and did not hurt the face of Han Yanjia, a foreigner, and did not entangle Han Yanjia on the matter of Han Yanjia going to the Northland, but on the surface, he seemed to be quite optimistic about Han Yanjia, and suggested that Han Yanjia should lead others to follow.

This is more like Han Yanjia didn't wait for Han Yanjia to walk out of the court, and he had already determined the credit for Han Yanjia's northward trip next, and faintly raised Han Yanjia's identity as a foreigner.

And with the higher the grade, then because of the sentence that Han Yanjia is the leader, it is enough to put Han Yanjia in a higher position, which also makes it possible for Han Yanjia to have a frame to restrain Zhao Kuo when he returns to Lin'an one day, and he may be promoted as he wants.

Shi Miyuan's cleverness lies in the fact that he can take advantage of Han Yanjia's trip to the north this time to stuff his henchmen and go to Kaifeng together, so as to find an opportunity to secretly win over other officials in the north, or weaken Ye Qing's power, and he can also get close to this outsider who is about to receive the grace of the saint.

Similarly, among all the people headed by Han Yanjia, there will inevitably be people with higher official positions than Han Yanjia at that time, so when Han Yanjia and others return to Lin'an from Kaifeng to discuss meritorious deeds, others will naturally be able to get a piece of the pie, so that they can also contain Zhao Kuo, and will not suddenly promote a foreigner to an excessively high level.

But who to let go to the Northland under the leadership of a foreigner has now become the focus of the court.

Although Zhao Kuo didn't expect Shi Miyuan's proposal, when Shi Miyuan put it forward, he also knew that he obviously couldn't refute him, after all, once he refuted it, then Han Yanjia's desire to go to the Northland and accumulate qualifications would probably have to follow.

Now Xie Shenfu, the competitor of the Criminal Department, ignored Liuzheng and shook his head at him, bowed and saluted: "Back to the Holy Lord, the minister thinks that now that the Northern Land Festival has made Lord Ye Qingye go north to Jin, the Northern Land Officials will obviously be abandoned, and now it is the time of the autumn harvest, presumably the matter of taxation in the Northern Land also needs to be supervised." Therefore, the minister believes that Li Xinchuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the most suitable to follow the staff to the north, first, the reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion depends on the Ministry of Industry, and second, Lord Li is also quite prestigious in the court, and he can naturally ...... after going to the north. ”

"Xie Shenfu, why don't you recommend yourself to the Northland?" Li Xinchuan didn't wait for Xie Shenfu to finish speaking, and immediately jumped out and sternly refused: "Although Li is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, it is now the thunderstorm season, whether it is the palace or Gushan, it will suffer some losses every year, if Li leaves, who will take on this big responsibility?" Could it be that you, Xie Shenfu, want to let the Holy Lord be in charge of the leaky palace? Shengshang, according to the minister's point of view, Lin'an appeasement made Xie Shenfu Xie the most suitable, and he also served as a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and went to the north to help King Qing rebuild the capital and the palace, and there will be no sense of rustiness in government affairs. Second, compared to the minister, who has not served as the governor of a state in the local area, and Lord Xie has been pacified by Lin'an for more than a year, Kaifeng is the capital of my dynasty, and all government affairs are even more familiar to Lord Xie. The minister recommended Lin'an to appease Lord Xie and follow Han Yanjia to the north. ”

As Li Xinchuan finished speaking, the entire hall instantly became quiet, Li Xinchuan and Xie Shenfu are now competitors in the Criminal Department, and now Xie Shenfu took the lead in recommending, obviously wanting to separate the only competitor, and then come to a building near the water, but he didn't expect Li Xinchuan to see through his careful thinking, and he didn't want to follow Han Yanjia to get the credit of going north.

The official has already done the dispatch of Shangshu, and if he wants to go further, it is obviously not possible to rely on the trip to the north alone, not to mention ...... Is the Northland really that easy to go?

Over the years, whether it was Wang Huai or Zhao Ruyu, or Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan, how many times have they used the opportunity to install henchmen in the Northland? But in the end? Which official has mixed up in the Northlands?

Almost all the officials who were sent to the north were convicted of corruption and dereliction of duty in less than two months, and then fled back to Lin'an, unable to step into the officialdom again, crying bitterly every day with regret, and the good future was ruined on the dispatch to the north.

Almost all of these officials sent to the Northland were the last to get a good death, and many of them were lost to the sea after entering the Northland, and there was no news?

When I asked Ye Qing from the Northland, the most common reply was: There are too many people in the Northland, and they often go down the mountain to kill and plunder the local people, such a rampant behavior, Lord Ye also has a headache for this, so those officials who came to the Northland to serve as dispatches may have been caught by thieves and taken to the mountains on the way to their posts, right?

What the? And their wives and maids? That's over, I'm afraid I've already become the wife of the thief.

And once Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, when someone asked Ye Qing why he didn't fight those thugs who fell into the grass, Lord Ye would always spread his hands and said helplessly: "You think I don't want to, but these thugs are very cunning, when my army has not yet arrived, they have all rolled down the mountain, and then changed into people's clothes, holding hoes and leading cattle, they have become local honest people, how can you tell the difference?" Besides, I can't kill innocents, can I? Damnation. ”

At that time, Han Yanxuan would be furious, and he had to ask Ye Qing to indicate which road and which mountain, so Lord Ye casually told him a place, and then Han Yanxuan sent an army of 3,000 people, and after entering the north with Ye Qing's warrant, before he could find the mountain, the three thousand people were surrounded by more than 10,000 thieves, and even according to the soldiers at that time, the armor and weapons of those thieves were even better than theirs, and the bows and crossbows and arrows were shining with cold light, and they were new and sharp at a glance.

Therefore, since Han Yanxuan, Shi Miyuan will never easily send high-grade officials to go to the north without Ye Qing's consent, after all, this is like ...... The meat bun beats Ye Qing, the dog, and there is always no return.

And this time, it was precisely because this dispatch was ordered by the Holy Lord himself that he felt that he had an opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise, he would never have easily sent his henchmen to the Northlands.

So he didn't expect that Xie Shenfu, an old man who didn't know how to die, would recommend a dignified Shangshu to go to the Northland.

According to his meaning, it is enough to send at most one squire level, it must be because of the will of the saint, even if Ye Qing knows about it, he will not care about it because of the grade of the squire, and maybe he will turn a blind eye.

But if it was to send a high-ranking official of Shangshu's level, Shi Miyuan was sure that after Ye Qing knew about it at that time, he would never care who sent it, even if it was the will of the Holy Lord, I am afraid that he would ignore it.

He also thought of using this to increase the contradiction between Zhao Kuo and Ye Qing, but if he lost one or even two Shangshu, he couldn't afford to lose it, not to mention that there were Ye Qing's henchmen such as Bi Zaiyu and Qian Xiangzu who had not spoken all this court, and if he raised it above the court, he might not be able to pass through them.

And don't forget, those officials who went to the north at the beginning, what crimes of corruption and dereliction of duty, were tried through the Dali Temple in charge of Bi Zaiyu, under the so-called stolen goods, and those stolen goods, etc., who still doesn't know what's going on? It is nothing more than that Dali Temple was planted by Ye Qing's will.

So after Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan finished arguing, the court suddenly fell into silence, and the young king on the dragon chair was thinking about his little Jiujiu in his heart, although he didn't know what happened in the early years, but he knew very well that Ye Qing was able to firmly control the northern land in his hands, and the imperial court couldn't interfere no matter what, obviously it was not because of his talent in the northern land, there must be a dark side that others didn't know.

And many officials under the court are also playing their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, some people are eager to try because this time they are sent by the Holy Order, while some people unconsciously shrink their necks, slowly move their feet and retreat, afraid that the eyes above the court will notice him.

Unlike Shi Miyuan and other important ministers, they know very well how the officials sent to the Northland ended up in a bad end, and the information they can get is mostly groundless, and in these gossips and discussions among their colleagues, they often talk about a certain official who went to the Northland and then sank into the sea, they will always add fuel and vinegar to describe it, and in the end they can scare their hands and feet cold, and when they mention the Northland, it is like seeing eighteen layers of hell.

"Are there officials in the court who are familiar with the Northland?" Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke slowly when all the ministers fell into silence.

Looking at the silent court, although all this was expected by Zhao Kuo, who asked the question, but after seeing that no one in the court was familiar with the scene in the north, Zhao Kuo unconsciously listed Ye Qing as the first courtier who had to be eliminated.

"Since it was Lord Xie Shenfu Xie who proposed it just now, the minister thought that he might as well let Lord Xie Shenfu and Lord Xie go with Han Yanjia. Xie Shenfu is Lin'an's pacification envoy, and now that Ye Qing is cutting gold in the north, Lin'an obviously will not be in any danger. Shi Miyuan suddenly said leisurely at this time.

Li Xinchuan is his henchman after all, after being suddenly put on a position by Xie Shenfu, of course he, the left minister, has to get his henchman back, as for the reaction of Ye Qing in the north, he can't care so much at the moment, anyway, when the time comes, Han Yanjia will not take the credit for going north.

After Xie Shenfu was countered by Shi Miyuan, he naturally couldn't refute it, what he said just now was so righteous and awe-inspiring, not to mention that now Ye Qing is busy with the Northern Expedition, and he can't deal with the affairs of the northern land at all, he, the Lin'an pacification envoy, was ordered to go to Kaifeng in danger, and he may refuse in the face of others, but if he refuses in front of the saints and the ministers, then the possibility that he wants to get involved in the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is completely non-existent.

Just when he was about to bite the bullet and ignore Liuzheng's shaking his head to sign his consent, Li Lifang suddenly stood up and said: "Playing the saint, the minister thought that he might as well let Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan follow Han Yanjia together, as we all know, after the minister discharged the dispatch of the criminal department Shangshu and transferred to the household department, the dispatch of the criminal department Shangshu has always been empty, and now Lord Xie and Master Li are powerful candidates, so the minister thinks that he might as well take this trip north as an examination school for the two of them, just ...... Han Yanjia, an outsider, came to judge. ”

"I'm afraid Lord Li's intention is inappropriate, right? Li Xinchuan and Li Shangshu have just said that it is the thunderstorm season, and the Ministry of Industry obviously cannot be without ...... for a day. Shi Miyuan frowned slightly, he originally thought that it was Liuzheng who would jump out to help Xie Shenfu, or he had been on the court, openly and secretly supporting Xie Shenfu and Liuzheng's Bi Zaiyu and Qian Xiangzu, but he didn't expect that it would be Li Lifang who suddenly stood up.

"Master Shi won't forget, right? Li used to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry ....... Li Lifang said proudly to Shi Miyuan.

"But now Li is under the will of Lord Zuo Xiang, temporarily sent by the secretary of the Criminal Department, if Li leaves Lin'an, the Criminal Department will ......." Li Xin made an excuse for himself.

And Li Lifang was still proud, and said extremely unbeatenly: "Master Li won't forget, right?" Li once served as a dispatch to the secretary of the Criminal Department. There's no way, Li is so good, he has served as a scholar in the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry, and he has done a good job. So is there anything that Master Li can't let go? ”

Li Lifang's careless and triumphant words made the ministers above the court eager to jump up, and immediately beat him on the ground, and even Zhao Kuo on the dragon chair twisted his body a little uncomfortably, clenched his fists, his uncle spoke too annoyingly, and the courtiers above the court must not be offended by him.

He was sent by Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry to the Criminal Department, and from the Criminal Department to the Household Department, what was going on, didn't he know it himself? Why is it embarrassing, licking his face and talking loudly above the court.

So Shi Miyuan coldly slapped Li Lifang in the face and said: "Lord Li is really doing well, but as far as I know, Lord Li has been the secretary of the household department for nearly a year, but I heard that now, the accounts of the household department have not been sorted out yet. Now the matter of Kaifeng and Liudu will start after the harvest this autumn, if the accounts of the household department are still a mess, so I am afraid that it will delay the ...... of the saint. ”

"Give me another month, and I will definitely be able to sort out the accounts of the household department clearly." Li Lifang, who instantly felt that his cheeks were hot, stared at Shi Miyuan, who had a sneer, and said.

Among the ministers, because of the words he owed just now, now with Shi Miyuan's conversation with him, a burst of revenge ridicule broke out at him in an instant.

Zhao Kuodu blushed a little for Li Lifang, obviously if Shi Miyuan was allowed to fight again, I was afraid that in the imperial study of the Qinzheng Palace, there would be an uncle who would complain to him for a while.

"In that case, I don't know who else would want to accompany me." Zhao Kuo relieved Li Lifang on the dragon chair, and in the same way, this sentence was said to be of a very high level, that is, he did not agree that Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan would go with Han Yanjia, but he did not object, but asked who else was willing to accompany him, as for who to accompany him to the north, that was the matter of Lord Zuo Xiang.

Shi Miyuan was slightly startled, raised his head and swept to Zhao Kuo on the dragon chair, only to see that Zhao Kuo had already shown impatience with the court at this time, and was whispering to Wei Jing next to him, and the sentence just said, after Shi Miyuan recalled it several times, he still felt a little untrue, and he couldn't figure out for a while, whether it was the unintentional words of the saint or intentional.

But with Zhao Kuo's words, officials with lower grades in the court, such as squires, began to shrink their necks involuntarily, and slowly moved their steps backwards.

If it is said that Han Yanjia, Xie Shenfu, and Li Xinchuan are in high power, they may be fine after going to the Northland, but if they follow, then I am afraid that they will ...... It's really used to sacrifice flags to others.

Bi Zaiyu slowly stood up in the turmoil in the court at this time, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Playing the Holy Lord, Lord Ye Qingye is the envoy of the Northern Land Festival after all, so whether this matter should be ......." ”

"You just look at it, the left and right sides can discuss, retreat from the court, I still have something to do." Zhao Kuo ignored the court's etiquette and got up to leave.

And above the court, many courtiers looked at Bi Zaiyu at this time, and their eyes were full of gratitude.

Zhao Kuo, as the emperor, naturally couldn't answer Bi Zaiyu's words, after all, Ye Qing is a minister, he is a king, if a king sends his courtiers, he still needs to get the consent of his courtiers, so what does it mean for him to do as an emperor?

And Shi Miyuan was because Zhao Kuo never mentioned whether to tell Ye Qing or not, so he would not touch the young king's competitive heart, so as not to make Zhao Kuo feel that he was deliberately embarrassing him.

After Zhao Kuo left, the other courtiers were afraid that they would be dragged by Shi Miyuan, Liuzheng and others, and after hurriedly saluting the left and right sides one by one, they fled from the court as soon as possible.

Li Xinchuan, Xie Shenfu, Liuzheng and Shi Miyuan were still standing in place, and began to think about how to end up after the originally simple thing was made so complicated.
