1067 No chapter name

The northern part of the Song court could only account for one or two of the 100% of the taxes, grain, cloth, armor and other items. Even since Qian Xiangzu was appointed as the Minister of War, the resources that the three major protectors in the northern part could obtain from the imperial court were very limited.

As for the resources of grain, silver, cloth, etc., through the court, the resources were very limited, and the way to reach the north was many of the 10 or 10 miles through underground transactions, which was also the purpose of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In Yangzhou, Ye Qing’s importance is self-evident, and the importance of Yan’s beauty over Ye Qing is even more self-evident.

The reason why the Northland cannot get more support from the court, and even the allocation of the Ministry of Revenue is gradually becoming less and less, is naturally related to the current struggle in the court. As the Supreme Emperor began to make up his mind to act on Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan immediately followed the news and almost completely reduced his support for the Northland.

Now Han Tuozhou has been killed. In theory, the three-legged squad has become a battle between two heroes. Shi Miyuan's various constraints on the North will only be even more severely reduced in the future.

After all, the northern region is not as rich as the southern region. In addition, it is always under war. Although it does not disrupt the people and the order of life, the war on the frontier is like flowing water.

Especially with the establishment of the three major Protectorates and the requirements of the northern region to recruit soldiers and expand their troops, the northern region now has to reduce the tax pressure on the people after the flooding of the Yellow River, but also be able to deal with all the pressure on the expansion of the Protectorate's army.

The problem of officials has been solved, and bypassing the Ministry of Personnel’s direct submission to the emperor, it was considered to help Ye Qing solve the urgent problem. However, the next series of problems still required Ye Qing to rack his brains to seek for the north in the court.

But in fact, Ye Qing, who is now imprisoned in the palace by the court and unable to go to the palace, and cannot go to court, has become a new problem waiting for him to solve.

So at present, the most anxious people due to the situation in the north are Ye Qing, as well as King Qing Zhao Kai, who is also in Lin'an and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun.

Compared to being unfamiliar with Lin'an today, they were more familiar with everything in the north. But as the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, because of the various things in the north, finally allowed King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun to see the warmth and warmth of the people in the Lin'an officialdom.

Because they were in the north for many years, they are now respected by some court officials, but this respect is just superficial. Once they enter the practical problem, they finally let the two royal families know what kind of human feelings are.

No matter what the matter is, as long as they are involved in the North, officials who were originally enthusiastic and respected with them will immediately become a stagnant pool. No matter what they said, they just um um um um um perfunctory. Either this matter... they need to make a long-term plan, or they can vaguely ask them to go to Shi's Mansion for more. In short... in practical problems, officials they have contacted will give them a feeling of talking about him.

As a result, King Qing and Duke Chong were in Lin'an for many days, but they did not fundamentally help the North to solve any problem.

Because Ye Qing was confined to the court, it was difficult for the two of them to disturb Ye Qing, but without Ye Qing's advice, they wanted to rely on them to run around Lin'an alone to solve many problems for the north. The two of them had no way to ask for help from many sources, and their frustration became increasingly severe.

The three or four days of running left the two of them without anything. The confidence that they had originally left the North was now replaced by more and more frustration. In addition, the death of the Supreme Emperor that Shi Miyuan mentioned to them a few days ago has many problems related to Ye Qing, which made the two of them not look like two royal relatives in Lin'an, but more like two beggars who came back from the North, and felt like they were called "Daily Nian and Nian" and "Daily Nian" and "Daily Nian" would not come back."

In the Xin'an County Prince's Mansion, there are only a few places where King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun can go out openly in Lin'an and not be afraid of being criticized by others. At this time, the two of them shook their heads and sighed, and only infinite emotion and helplessness arose in their hearts.

Unlike the current situation in the officialdom in the North, any real government affairs will never encounter such scenes as Lin'an, which is like pushing and urging, and looking at the left and right, everything can be completed smoothly according to the current procedures in the North.

Zhao Shicheng accompanied the two to drink all the wine in the glass, and sighed again. Is there any doubt about the death of the Supreme Emperor? Whether it is related to Ye Qing? Zhao Shicheng seemed to have no preference for the court, nor did he go to Ye Qing, and told King Qing and Duke Chong from a fair standpoint.

As for who is right and wrong, who is the traitor and who is the hero who is the traitor to quell the traitor, Zhao Shicheng also didn't know in his heart, but in Zhao Shicheng's heart, he was more willing to believe Ye Qing's words. After all, he had been in the Ye Mansion for a long time that night.

Both of them were royal families, the treatment of Zhao Shicheng, King Qing and Duke Chong was hugely different. Before the two went to the north, although Duke Chong, Zhao Shichun, was like him, was not allowed to be valued by the court, and even as if he had been forgotten, no one had ever paid attention to him.

But since Zhao Shichun met Ye Qing, especially since he went to the North, whether in the court or in the royal family, the status and influence of Chongguo Duke Zhao Shichun have been significantly improved.

For Zhao Shicheng, who is now only one official and is a free minister, even if he doesn't say it, he still feels that the royal family is not fair to him.

So after Ye Qing helped the couple repeatedly, Zhao Shicheng's ambition began to grow slowly, and he also bet on Ye Qing rather than the Supreme Emperor at the critical moment, so today's situation can be regarded as betting on the right treasure for him.

Although Ye Qing is now being confined to reflect on himself in the mansion, in Zhao Shicheng's view, as long as there is a while, Ye Qing will truly stand in the court. Even if he cannot stand in the court, then in the north, Ye Qing still has a position that others cannot shake.

Although the northern region is still in turmoil now, no matter what, the northern region has been nominally governed by the Song court for many years, which has made some people's ambitions become increasingly larger and no longer the principle of being alone when they were suppressed by the Jin people.

Many people want to achieve great goals and ambitions, especially in the situation where the north is becoming more and more stable and its power is rising, the Song people only want to defend the south of the Yangtze River and not allow the Jin people to continue to move south, and their eyes towards the north are becoming more and more firm.

The situation in the great era has reversed, and the Song court is no longer the passively beaten Song court. Naturally, whether it is the people or officials, the confidence and warm pillow in the deep heart have gradually become dominant again, which makes people yearn for one day that the Song court can restore the territory that year.

In the past ten or twenty years, Ye Qing has gone from a young man to a middle-aged man, and the court has changed from generation to generation. Even if the court has realized this, the fundamental national policy has not yet undergone a fundamental change in national policy, but this does not mean that the people and officials will not change.

The stability of the North will naturally bring strong confidence to the people of the Song court, and this is beneficial to Ye Qing. For Zhao Shicheng, it is naturally the best time to seize the opportunity. He also wants to show his ambitions, rather than wasting his great years as before, watching others' lives become more and more valuable, but he is as always.

"Maybe I can ask Lord Ye, what should you do in Lin'an now?" Zhao Shicheng put down his wine glass and began to give advice to King Qing and Duke Chong with a calm expression.

"I have considered this, but Lord Ye is in Lin'an now... and we are both unable to make up our minds. Under the current situation, Lord Ye stays away from home, and if we go to Ye's mansion... will we be implicated in Lord Ye?" King Qing said hesitantly.

Duke Chong also said with a similar feeling: "We are not afraid of being implicated by Lord Ye. But... To put it bluntly, now we have watched the Northland step by step to today. We don't want to see the people in the north fall into turmoil again. After all, they are the territory of my Song Dynasty and the people of my Song Dynasty. Even if Lord Ye cannot control the Northland, we should do our part to ensure the stability of the Northland."

"Mr. Ye's mansion is closed... But in my guess, it should be no problem for Lord Ye to walk around at will in Lin'an? Besides, will Lord Ye really stay in the mansion and never go anywhere? Although the court is not in a mess now, the court has not been completely stable due to the influence of the Supreme Emperor and the chaos of the rebel Han Tuozhou. Is Lord Ye really relieved to watch Shi Miyuan become bigger in the court alone?" Zhao Shicheng said in contemplation.

"Whoever do you mean?" King Qing and Duke Chong looked at each other and vaguely felt that Zhao Shicheng seemed to have a countermeasure.

"Try to see if you can invite Lord Ye to our mansion. This may be better. Over the years, Lord Ye has not come to our mansion several times. For us and my wife, Lord Ye is like our benefactor." Zhao Shicheng's evaluation of Ye Qing made King Qing and Zhao Shichun a little scared.

They had long heard of the matter between Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan, but these were just personal matters of love between children, and it was difficult for them to both of them to interfere.

While the three members of the royal family were discussing how to submit invitations to Ye Qing, Ye Qing also returned to the mansion alone from the Third Aunt's Tavern. Looking at Yangguan, which was gradually tilting west outside, she sighed slightly and headed towards the backyard.

Zhong Can followed behind and reported to Ye Qing that he had all the actions of King Qing and Duke Chong in Lin'an over the past few days, including the rejection of some officials' homes, were reported to Ye Qing one by one.

Zhong Qing also looked at Ye Qing in a blind eye. She had been doing nothing all these days, so after hearing Zhong Can't report to Ye Qing, she also wanted to know how he could help King Qing and Duke Chong open up the situation in Lin'an when he could not deal with officials in the officialdom, so that they could do something for the North with all their hearts.

"The queen still wants to put you in... Is she still finished? When she has something to do, she will watch you fall into a desperate situation..." Zhong Qing, a great beauty, rarely stands up for Ye Qing. Similarly, it is even more difficult to understand the unclear relationship between Ye Qing and Li Fengniang, which no one can understand clearly.
