Zhong Can went to Yidu with Wanyan Yongji, and Ye Qing believed that his miserable end was destined at this moment.

Using the reputation of Wanyan Yongji, the King of Wei Shao of Jin, to suppress the local tyrants in the north, which were controlled by the Song court, was naturally beneficial to Ye Qing. It not only played a role in intimidating the local tyrants of other prefectures and made the entire northern region more stable, but also to the greatest extent, before the imperial court established Kaifeng as Liudu, the local tyrants that grew up under the rule of the Jin people were dependent on the governments in the north.

In this way, the local tyrants in each state will lose their confidence in the Jin people because of the Yidu Yanning incident. In order to protect their local interests, they will maintain a certain good relationship with the current government. They will also be able to restrict local tyrants from sending them to Kaifeng and Luoyang officials to the greatest extent after the imperial court settling the capital.

If the people in the north are at the bottom of the pyramid, then these local tyrants are the huge rocks in the middle when people look at it. They can even play a role in connecting the past and the future in the north, connecting the government relations between the bottom and the high-level, so local tyrants are naturally a force that cannot be ignored.

Once Kaifeng sets up Liudu and is attracted by officials sent by the court, it will not affect Ye Qing's control of the northern land, but it will not be a good thing for him.

In addition, if he wants to carry out the Northern Expedition again in the future, Ye Qing must solve all hidden dangers that can affect the stability of the North within a limited time, thereby reducing the various threats and ties that will prevent him from controlling the North.

When Ye Qing received the first letter after Zhu Xi was dismissed, Li Lifang, who was far away in Lin'an, also received a letter from Ye Qing.

The letter was full of confusing words, and the lines were all the recognition and affirmation that Li Lifang could be transferred to the Minister of Revenue. Naturally, Ye Qing also used what Li Lifang often boasted about in front of him, how close the relationship between Li Lifang and the current emperor was.

Because after reading this letter from Li Lifang, he felt a little itchy. In his opinion, perhaps what Ye Qing said was right: by moving to the Minister of Revenue, it is proved that Li Lifang still attaches great importance to him, or he succeeds to the throne, and can prove like the people of the world that in addition to being a relationship between the monarch and the minister, this relationship between nephew and uncle is also extremely close and unbreakable.

In this way, it is indeed a great temptation for Li Lifang, who only wants to walk sideways in Lin'an in his entire life.

But as the saying goes, today is not as good as before. When the emperor has not succeeded to the throne, perhaps the relationship between nephew and uncle is extremely important between them and is in line with their interests. But now the prince is still the emperor, and Li Lifang's heart is somewhat agitated. Will the prince, who is now the emperor, still rely on himself as much as before? Will he be so close to him?

Just as Li Lifang was sitting alone in the mansion and secretly pondering his relationship with the current emperor, his servant informed him of the visit of Bi Zaihui, the minister of Dali Temple.

When Li Lifang heard Bi Zaiyu's name, his eyes lit up instantly, but he realized at the first time that Bi Zaiyu was visiting at this time, and he might have been said to have entered the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. He was the lobbyist for Ye Qing?

But no matter what, when he was a little hesitant at the moment, it would be okay to meet Bi Zaihui. Moreover, because of Ye Qing, whether Bi Zaihui or Qian Xiangzu, he could trust and discuss the candidate at this time.

He ordered his servants to ask Bi Zaiyu to wait in the front hall, sorted out his thoughts, and decided whether to discuss this with Bi Zaiyu. When Bi Zaiyu just picked up the teacup, Li Li walked in with a hearty laugh.

Although Li Lifang is not as fat as Shi Miyuan, he is not as capable of maintaining a perfect and strong figure like Ye Qing. His slightly raised belly also adds the wind and sorrow and worldly style that middle-aged people should have. The reason why he has been sent to the Minister of Justice for a long time is naturally a majesty on his body now.

"Today, Lord Bi is here, which really makes the humble house shine." Li Lifang, who was so arrogant, smiled and asked a few polite words after Bi Zaiyu, who stood up with a smile.

After Bi Zaiyu was also politely greeting, he laughed and said with a relaxed smile: "Bi is here to visit Lord Li today. I believe Lord Li already knows what Bi is going to do. So Bi just pretends to be so mysterious..."

"Mr. Li just received a letter from Lord Ye today, and was thinking about this in the backyard study room just now..." Li Lifang was already full of eagerness to try because of Ye Qing's letter. At this time, he heard that Bi Zaiyu was no longer polite and wanted to get back to the point, so he followed his guess just now.

But Bi Zaizhi looked confused at this moment, looked at Li Lifang with some confusion, and then asked in surprise: "Does Lord Ye already know this? But... but now it's just a guess."

"Huh?" Li Lifang nodded unconsciously, and the two looked at each other and realized in an instant that they were not talking about the same thing.

He looked at each other with a little embarrassed look, and finally Li Lifang was the first to speak: "Please sit down, please. I wonder why Lord Bi is looking for Li?"

Bi Zaiyu, whose expression returned to normal at the first time, looked at the servant who followed Li Lifang, and then after the servant was waved by Li Lifang, he said with a serious expression: "Bi visited Lord Li today, and there was something to discuss." Li Lifang was a little confused because of Bi Zaiyu's solemnity and words, and he thought in his heart that Bi Zaiyu came to visit. So since it was not because of what Ye Qing said in the letter, what else could he do to come to his house at all?

Although he was a little confused and puzzled, he still said politely: "Mr. Bi might as well say bluntly that if Li could help, he would definitely not refuse."

"A few days ago, Zhu Xi was dismissed by the emperor, and now everyone knows the court. I believe that there is no need for Bi to say more about the teacher-student relationship between Zhu Xi and the Minister of Revenue. So now that Zhu Xi was dismissed, Zheng Qingzhi must have lost a lot of protection. Then Lord Li thought... Will the Shi Xiang take advantage of Zheng Qingzhi for this?" Bi Zaiyu asked seriously.

Li Lifang sighed in his heart. Obviously, what Bi Zaiyu wanted to discuss with him was not what Ye Qing said in his letter, but there was also an inseparable relationship between the two, and it was not impossible to conclude that one thing was.

After Zheng Qingzhi was defeated by the Lin'an Pacification Envoy, he gradually got farther and farther away from Shi Miyuan. This incident is well known in the court. Even during several court meetings, Zheng Qingzhi once refuted some of Shi Miyuan's suggestions in front of Shi Miyuan in the court.

At that time, in addition to the support of Zhu Xi, the sage lecturer, it was also because Zheng Qingzhi wanted to marry Xie Shenfu, so that Zheng Qingzhi almost stood completely on the side of Xie Shenfu and Liu Zheng at those days' court meetings.

The tense court situation made Li Lifang gloat and watched the court show for several days, but in the end, Shi Miyuan did not attack Zheng Qingzhi.

But now that Zhu Xi has been dismissed, officials in the court, such as Li Lifang, Bi Zaiyu and other ministers, began to dismiss Zhu Xi, which was considered Shi Miyuan's counterattack against Zheng Qingzhi in the court.

So now, after Zhu Xi was dismissed, what will happen naturally will be Zheng Qingzhi to suffer.

Li Lifangluo thought about it, then looked at Bi Zaiyu and asked, "Can you... Is it... Bi Siqing wants to protect..."

"No. Because Shi Miyuan has already taken action." Bi Zaiyu looked solemn and looked at the somewhat puzzled Minister of Justice Li Lifang, saying: "Just last night, someone touched Zheng Qingzhi's son Zheng Shichang, but... Zheng Qingzhi did not report to the official because of this matter. Doesn't Lord Li feel strange as Minister of Justice?"

Li Lifang couldn't help but feel a little funny. Bi Zai met a little suspicious. Zheng Qingzhi's son suffered revenge last night, but he couldn't blame Shi Miyuan for this matter, right?

What's more, with Shi Miyuan as the left prime minister of the current dynasty, how could he be as knowledgeable as a young man? Isn't he losing his identity if he retaliates against the old and young Zheng Qing's family? If it is spread, isn't Shi Miyuan afraid of being scolded as if he only bullies the weak?

"As the Minister of the Dali Temple, Lord Bi, shouldn't be so scammers? Zheng Qingzhi did not report to the official, and the Ministry of Justice did not know about this. So would it be just a conflict caused by Zheng Qingzhi's son having a normal quarrel with others? And if the Minister of the Temple is defined as Shi Miyuan's revenge, wouldn't it be a bit too rash?" Li Lifang looked at Bi Zaiyu, who was usually quite smart, and logically, he shouldn't have been so anxious to label Shi Miyuan.

"From last night, Zheng Qingzhi has already lost his descendant, and his son will not be the son, so do Lord Li think Bi is wrongly accusing Shi Miyuan? Lord Li, don't forget that the reason why Zheng Qingzhi stood aside with Xie Shenfu at the court meeting was because he wanted to help his son ask for a marriage to Xie Shenfu's granddaughter, and wanted to use this marriage to expand his power in the court and strive to be on an equal footing with Shi Miyuan in the court one day. Now his son has no longer been a man since the attack last night. So does Lord Li think this is an accident?" Bi Zaiyu asked with a serious expression.

"No longer..." Li Lifang put the teacup he had just picked up and looked at Bi Zaiyu with some incredible slightest: "What a vicious method, it is so despicable. In this way, isn't it completely impossible for Zheng Qingzhi to marry Xie Shenfu?"

"No," Bi Zaiyu took a deep breath: "Zhu Xi was dismissed and Zheng Qingzhi was cut off again, so he could no longer marry Xie Shenfu. So who is the most beneficial to these two things?"

"Nature is Shi Miyuan." Li Lifang said without hesitation.

"Yes. Without the bargaining chips for marriage with Xie Shenfu, the emperor and his teacher were dismissed again. So now, Zheng Qingzhi still has the strength to compete with Shi Miyuan? Now, I'm afraid... his mission of the Minister of Revenue is difficult to save. And between Shi Miyuan and Ye Qing who is far away in the north... I guess I don't need to say more. Lord Li knows even better than me, so..."

"So, the incident of the Minister of Revenue's dispatch will not only affect Liu, but also the balance between Xie and Shi Miyuan's followers in the court, but also affect... During this period, the court will rebuild Kaifeng and the imperial palace. The Minister of Revenue's dispatch has become a hot commodity. After all, once he is appointed as the Minister of Revenue, as long as there is no major mistake in rebuilding Kaifeng and the palace, he will inevitably be trusted and valued by the emperor. Once Kaifeng and the reconstruction of the palace are completed, it may not be difficult to continue promotion, right?" Li Lifang speculated.

Bi Zaiyu looked at Li Lifang and nodded silently: "So, the mission of the Minister of Revenue will probably be more trusted and valued than the Minister of Personnel in the next period of time."

"Maybe Lord Bi have any intention..." Li Lifang's heart beat wildly and asked with a tentative meaning.

Bi Zaiyu, who lowered his head to drink tea, did not notice the nervousness flashing through Li Lifang's expression. He sighed and said, "The resentment between Bi and Shi Miyuan is deep, not to mention that even Lord Li can clearly see the word Ye Dang on Bi's forehead. Therefore, even if Shi Miyuan does not recommend his confidant, he will not let Bi make a profit. By the way, Lord Li is now the title of Lord Ye, and they are both Dukes..."

"Not as lucky as Ye Qing, his achievements paved the way for him to become a title. Now even though I reminded me a few times in front of my Empress Dowager's sister, the Empress Dowager... After all, he still has to take into account the attitudes of the ministers in the entire court, so he is still a county duke. It is not as easy as he thought. Moreover, if the new king has just succeeded to the throne and wants to become a title again, he will probably have no hope in this life." When Li Lifang mentioned his title now, he was quite proud, but if he compared with Ye Qing's title of Duke Lu, he would obviously be inferior to other people's Duke. He heard the domineering and domineering, and instantly he became a little dejected.

Bi Zaiyu held the teacup and looked at Li Lifang who was somewhat dejected. Just as Li Lifang was also looking at him, Bi Zaiyu suddenly laughed happily, put down the teacup in his hand, and then said mysteriously: "Isn't Lord Li an excellent opportunity right now?"

"You mean?" Li Lifang's eyes became brighter in an instant, but he was somewhat reluctant to let him go to the minister of justice. After all, the minister of justice was quite majestic and domineering to him.

"Master Li is reluctant to part with the Ministry of Justice..." Bi Zaiyu asked with a smile.

Li Lifang sighed instead and no longer hid his thoughts. Now that Bi Zai has come to the door, he is not to discuss with him that he wants to plan for the Minister of Revenue, he can also openly admit his thoughts.

"Yes, for me, the Ministry of Justice can be used to perform in Lin'an, and..." Li Lifang spread his hands unwillingly and continued: "The Ministry of Justice is...it can make you extremely proud in front of many friends. This Lord Bi, who is Dali Temple, should know? Whoever is disliked, as long as Li said, you can find two constables to scare people. If you go to the Ministry of Revenue, even if you can be promoted,...it always feels that it is not majestic enough."

Because of Li Fengniang's relationship and the economic foundation given to him by Ye Qing in the early days, money has never been the goal that Li Lifang pursues the most.

Li Lifang has always been pursuing the gaze that everyone admires, the pomp that can make him majestic, in order to satisfy his vanity that is like a bottomless pit.

So for Li Lifang, no matter what power or interests it is, it is not as important as the pomp of the show he wants. Driven by great vanity, as long as you can get a strong sense of satisfaction, even if you give him a magistrate, he will not dislike him.

But now, obviously, if you want to go further in your title, you still cannot do it with your sibling relationship with the Empress Dowager. In addition, if the new king is just established, if Li Lifang wants to be promoted, he must move the place to accumulate qualifications to provide impetus for his continuous vanity.

Ye Qing had long known Li Lifang's character to succeed him, so when he was given the right medicine, and with the matter of Bi Zaiyu and Zheng Qingzhi, he changed Bi Zaiyu's identity as a lobbyist, which made Li Lifang's heart become more anxious at this moment, but also mixed with a hint of hesitation.

Since Bi Zaiyu was sent to Li Lifang's mansion by Ye Qing as a lobbyist, naturally Ye Qing had already thought of a solution for Bi Zaiyu, and also planned everything he was worried about for Li Lifang.

Bi Zai Zhiran smiled and then said, "Bi thought it was something that made Lord Li unable to let go of the order of Minister of Justice. If he was just worried that no one was available at a critical moment, then Lord Li would not have to do this. Let's do this, if Lord Li would do anything in the future, the constable and soldier of Dali Temple..."

Seeing Li Lifang looking up at him happily, Bi Zaihui paused and continued, "Yes, Lord Li from Dali Temple can be sent at will."

"Mr. Bi is serious?" Li Lifang asked in surprise.

In his opinion, this kind of connection can make him feel more respectful, which is completely more satisfying than being the Minister of Justice’s Minister of Justice to satisfy his vanity.

But then he thought about it, Li Lifang looked at Bi Zaiyu, and then asked suspiciously: "Master Bi is afraid that he will relieve Li's worries like this... Is there a hidden secret, right?"

"Others may not know, but Bi knows it clearly. Lord Li is not only the younger brother of the current empress dowager, but also the uncle of the current emperor, and... As far as Bi knows, the relationship between Lord Li and the current emperor..."

Without waiting for Bi Zaiyu to finish speaking, Li Li understood what Bi Zaiyu meant. He smiled and nodded, patted his chest and said, "That's natural, that's natural, Lord Bi, don't worry, as long as Li can do it, it will definitely not disappoint Lord Bi. What's more, as Master Bi said just now, since Lord Bi already considers himself Ye Party, with the relationship between Li and Ye Qing, you and I should walk around more in the future, and it is also necessary to get close to each other."

With Li Lifang's bold words, the matter came to an end for the time being. After both of them were satisfied, Bi Zaiyu, who originally wanted to say goodbye immediately, was enthusiastically retained by Li Lifang and ordered his servants to hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain Bi Zaiyu.
