Ye Qing's reset of the capital protectorate was not so much to concentrate power in his hands, but because the number of officials was overstretched, and he was pressing with the imperial court, Shi Miyuan, and Han Yanxuan step by step, so he had to make this decision.

Since the capital protection mansion is to be reset, it is natural that the plan will not be limited to the summer realm that has been recovered now, and it also includes the three roads of Hetao and the two roads in Shandong in the north, all of which are included by Ye Qing.

The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is naturally above the administrative level of the road, and similarly, the various roads in the summer realm will still exist, but they are controlled by the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Just like the Anbei and Andong Protectorates that Ye Qing is going to reset next, they are completely above the road and control all roads in the north.

The reason why the capital protectorate is so restrained and reset, in addition to the lack of officials and personnel, is that there are too few subordinates who can take on the role of fighting against the imperial court and not scaring the imperial court, so they have to reset the metropolitan protection mansion in order to ensure the interests of the northern land, especially Ye Qing's own interests.

Liu Minxing was sent by Ye Qing to rebuild Muma Town, Ye Qing had already made up his mind that the government office of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate could be set up in Chang'an, and the military town was concentrated in Muma Town and other places, and the same was true for Anxi.

The Andong Protectorate was placed in Jinan Mansion by Ye Qing, and the government office and the military town were all placed together, so that Ye Qing became easier in controlling the strength of the various Metropolitan Protectorates.

Anxi, Anbei, Andong, the government office, and the military town will never be immutable rooted in Jinan, Lanzhou, and Chang'an, once the time is ripe and Ye Qing's ambitions continue to expand, the three capital protectorates will leave behind the various roads under their rule and begin to advance in three directions, and the various roads in the rear will begin to continue the various regulations of the Song Dynasty today, and there will be no difference from before.

As a result, the three prefectures are like three huge umbrellas, which at this time are just shrouded in the sky over the present-day northern land, controlling the military and political affairs of the northern land, etc., but if they expand again, they will also leave behind the various roads that have been stable enough, and then begin to continue to expand outward in three directions.

In short, in today's situation, Ye Qing has to concentrate all the power in his own hands as much as possible, compared to the stable Huainan Road and Bianjing Road, which exercise administrative power independently, under Ye Qing's vision, in the next few years, all roads will also be restored to their original state after complete stabilization.

In particular, the Metropolitan Government will change according to the changes and development of the situation.

But in any case, Ye Qing's method was the opposite of the Song court's emphasis on literature and light on military force, and everything took precedence over military affairs.

Liu Keshi was aware of Ye Qing's thoughts, and it was precisely because he was deeply influenced by Ye Qing as rumored by the outside world, so that he was like Ye Qing's shadow, and soon knew Ye Qing's intentions, so he ran to Ye Qing's study again before the first day.

The three major protectorates of Anxi, Anbei, and Andong, like three behemoths that will fluctuate with the war, will lead all the armies of the Northland and guard the entire territory of the Northland.

And the dispatch of Anxi Dadu Protector, in addition to Ye Qing pointed out that it was led by Qing Wang Yao, Liu Keshi understood that the Dadu Protector of Anbei and Andong would probably be sent by the Zhao and Song clans like Anxi.

In this way, it can not only make the northern land always associated with the imperial court, but also block the tongue of some people, and criticize Ye Qing for supporting troops in the northern land. It's just that in Liu Keshi's opinion, in this way, the various armies of Anxi are controlled by Li Heng, which is definitely not the most appropriate way.

"Why?" Ye Qing asked as he tapped his index finger on the table.

"My lord, the lower official thinks that although the two deputy protectors of the Metropolitan Protectorate protect one army and one government, and do not interfere with each other, then your lordship should personally appoint the other deputy Metropolitan Protector, otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Northland Army will be a little shocked, and similarly, it will also make the other deputy protector easy to cronyism. Therefore, the subordinate officials thought that whether it was Anxi or Anbei, or Anton, the position of deputy protector in charge of the army should be personally appointed by the adult. As for Li Heng, Lord Li and others, they are people who Lord Ye trusts, so why can't they be sent by Changshi? For your lordship, you will protect the soldiers and horses of the palace? Controlled by you? Liu Keshi said a little nervously.

His starting point was naturally for Ye Qing's sake, and he also knew that Ye Qing would rather give Li Heng the deputy capital to protect this mission, but also because of his trust in Li Heng, but the disadvantage of this is that no one has Ye Qing's influence and prestige in the various roads of the Northland.

And now there are Mongols and Jin people on three sides, so for the armies of the three major protectorates, it is obviously worse in terms of military morale, after all, who doesn't want to follow the legendary anti-Jin heroes?

The Song Dynasty Prefecture does not have a long history, but the prince's mansion and others have a long history, and the capital protection mansion naturally has such qualifications, not to mention, the status of the long history is also no less than the deputy capital protection, and at the necessary moment, it is also able to serve as a festival envoy, that is, in wartime, it can completely replace Ye Qing's job.

Anxi, Anbei, and Andong are the three major protectors, and Liu Keshi can fully predict that Anbei and Andong, the two deputy protectors who are the same as those sent by him, must be Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji, and the other deputy protector in charge of the army will inevitably be Ye Qing, or Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm.

And now that he proposes to be appointed by Ye Qing himself, it is equivalent to letting Ye Qing concurrently serve as the deputy protector of the three major capital protectors at the same time, so that the entire military power of the northern land does not need to go through the hands of others, but can be firmly controlled in Ye Qing's hands.

Of course, under Liu Keshi's conjecture, in this way, for Ye Qing, he can not only firmly grasp the military and political power in the north, but also face much less pressure on the imperial court, and will not attract the jealousy of the imperial court and more criticism and criticism from other officials because of his high position.

After all, Ye Qing's legitimacy and rationality in the Northland are now being questioned from all sides, and Ye Qing is also resetting the Metropolitan Protectorate to resolve these doubts and pressures from all directions.

Today's northern land can be said to be Ye Qing's single-handed cover of the sky, whether it is the imperial court or others, they can't be splashed with water and can't be inserted into the needle, and Ye Qing reset the Anxi Protectorate and let King Qing, who has accumulated some influence in Jingzhao Mansion in recent years, serve as an attempt to tell the world and the imperial court through such a move that the northern land is still the territory of the imperial court, not his Ye Qing's private territory.

And with the reset of the other two capital protectorates of Anbei and Andong, Ye Qing is bound to continue to leave the position of the capital protectorate to the imperial family.

Northland is the opposite of the imperial court, especially in the current period when the Jin and Mongols are neighbors, the light on literature and the importance of military force have naturally become the criterion that Beidi needs to adhere to without being oppressed and even taking the initiative. In this way, as long as Ye Qing is nominally with Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji, and he Liu Keshi is also the deputy protector of the three major capital protectors, then at least there can be a justifiable explanation in front of the imperial court, instead of the general dispatch of a northern festival envoy like before, so that Ye Qing's legitimacy and rationality have always been questioned from all sides.

Over the years, Liu Keshi has also been able to see that as long as the military power is tightly held in his hands, then what Ye Qing wants to do in the north, he can do it completely according to his own ideas, instead of being controlled by the imperial court.

Therefore, Ye Qing now does not need an amazing job at all, but needs to stabilize his current strength.

As long as the three of them help Ye Qing stabilize all government affairs and financial resources in the name of the deputy protector of the capital, coupled with the military power firmly held in Ye Qing's hands, then Ye Qing is essentially the king of the north.

Civil, military, and financial, the most important thing for a group of forces is nothing more than these three points, civil affairs, military and politics set the three major protectors, and the other finances have always been in the Huainan Road, which is combined into one, so for Ye Qing, the deputy capital of the three major protectors and the pacification of Huainan Road are enough to solve all the problems, so that he can also have a better reputation of loyal ministers in front of the people of the world, and can also reduce the attack from the court and the fear of the court.

But then again, these are just tacit tactics to cover up, but isn't that what politics has always been? They know each other that they don't break the last layer of window paper, and then they just take what they need.

Of course, this is not a one-time solution, after all, the times are developing, everything is changing due to changes, and what can be done now is not to follow the pace of the times and use the most suitable strategy for the moment to seek the greatest benefit for yourself.

Ye Qing finally agreed to Liu Keshi's suggestion, perhaps this is why Ye Qing didn't say anything about it, but only told Liu Keshi's intentions.

After all, Liu Keshi, as the second Ye Qing in the Northland, understands Ye Qing better, and also knows how to seek and concentrate the greatest power for Ye Qing in the Northland.

It's just that some words are no longer suitable for him to say in person, but he needs to rely on the persuasion of others to let everyone in the northern land understand that Ye Qing is like this is what everyone expects.

After reaching a certain status and status, you can say what you want without saying it through your own mouth, but by calling your subordinates to help you say it, so as to achieve your own political goals.

Liu Keshi did not ask the candidates for the chief protector and deputy protector of the two major metropolitan protectors of Anbei and Andong, after all, this is what Ye Qing should personally ask about, as a subordinate loyal to Ye Qing, he can speak freely in order to protect Ye Qing's interests, but in matters that should not be asked, interfered, and not let himself ask, Liu Keshi can also do it and ignore it.

Chongguo Gong is the candidate that Ye Qing thinks is the most suitable candidate for the protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate of Chang'an, and as for the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate in Jinan, Ye Qing naturally intends to take this as a big gift and give it to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will decide who to send to receive it.

Naturally, the reward that Ye Qing hoped to receive for this great gift was to bypass the imperial court and be appointed by the Holy Lord, so as to help the northern land solve the problem of officials and imperial examinations.
