Since September of the third year of Qingyuan, after learning that Ye Qing had agreed to the court to control the northern territory, a considerable storm arose in the Lin'an officialdom.

Even though the court announced the decree of the Ministry of Personnel and the court, Shi Miyuan and others were still a little worried. The whole month of September was spent exploring the response of the North, and September was trembling as if it was sent to the guillotine for more than a month to go to the North, but it did not disappear for no reason. After the accident, the entire court was truly relieved and believed that Ye Qing had truly returned the administration of some states and prefectures to the court.

Starting from October, the entire Lin'an court began to fall into open and secret struggles. After seeing clearly that the North is no longer a terrifying place, some officials who were unsatisfied in the official career began to have the idea of ​​going to the North for a mission.

Unsatisfied in the officialdoms in Jiangnan has hindered their careers and made them difficult to get promoted. Therefore, for some people, the North has obviously become their only platform for changing their careers.

Although the northern region is poorer than that of Jiangnan, it is not very difficult for officials who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years and have long been used to using various names and methods to accumulate money.

The officials believed that as long as they could be the magistrate of a county, or the magistrate or the magistrate, as long as they had the final say, they would have a way to easily turn the money in the people's pockets into the money in their pockets.

Before, most people chose to be deadly due to the pros and cons of life and money, but now that they can go to the north for a mission, for more people, the north is now considered a far place where the emperor is far away.

The court was originally not good for the restraint of the northern region. Even if it had opened its doors, they believed that it would be difficult for the imperial court to be as full-powered and restrained as the prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the northern region, so for them, this is the best opportunity to gain money from the northern region.

In October, more and more officials wanted to be the first to eat crabs. Whether it was the residence of Shangshu Louyi of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Xinchuan, Yan Keji, and even the residence of Duke Rong, Zhao Shikui, there were now many people, and there were no less than dozens of officials coming in and out every day.

Although Shi Miyuan handed over all these benefits to several people, whether it was Lou Yi, Li Xinchuan, or Duke Rong, he still had the awareness of the well digging. Therefore, since late October, Shi Miyuan had never stopped transporting real gold and silver to the mansion, as well as various carriages with precious calligraphy and paintings.

Although Li Lifang, Bi Zaihui, Qian Xiangzu and others' mansions were not as lively as those of Li Xinchuan and others, there would be big moves in the northern officialdom. The news of the imperial court's full control of several routes also attracted some officials who had not known how many layers of relationships and how much money they had used, and after finally getting on board with Li Lifang and others' mansions, they also began to have the idea of ​​several routes of the northern ones.

Although there were not many officials at the door of Xie Shenfu's mansion, there were more scholars during this period. Although few of them wanted to go directly to Xie Shenfu's path, Xie Qubo, the son of Xie Shenfu, was very interested in going to the northern part of the country to serve. During these days, several letters have been sent to Xie Shenfu.

The officials sharpened their heads and stomped their heads towards the officialdom in the north, but even so, most of the officials did not lose their minds because of the fat piece of the north. They obviously knew their strength and the strength behind them, so most of them were in the competition between some counties and states in the north.

For Jinan Prefecture on Shandong Road, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Yingtian Prefecture on Bianjing Road, and two prefectures on Hedong South Road, although the number of people fighting for each other is relatively small, the situation is much more tragic than the battle between those small prefectures and counties.

Jinan Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, and Yingtian Prefecture are among the most fiercely competitive four prefectures. Those who know themselves naturally gave up the fight early, and those who think they have the ability to fight also have to look back at the forces behind them.

Not better than competitors.

So in the end, although these four deeds competed for the smallest number of people, no matter who it is, their power cannot be underestimated in the court.

Bai Chun slowly put down the letter in his hand, looked at Ye Qing who was not anxious at all, and frowned and said, "You don't really have to watch the territory you have built up with great difficulty, let these corrupt officials be harmed?" "By the way, Gucheng and Wuque had to pester Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao, and I had no choice, so they went to break the camp together." Ye Qing spread his hands and said innocently.

Bai Chun's eyes suddenly shone coldly, and he glared at Ye Qing, Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque. Not long after they arrived in Yanjing, they began to become interested in breaking the camp, especially Ye Qing, Mo Xiaobao and the guns in Zhong Can's hands, and were full of deep love.

Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng, as the biological mothers of Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque, naturally did not want Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuque to grow up and dance with guns, just like Ye Qing.

But not long after arriving in Yanjing, the two seemed to be infected by their father. These days, they followed Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao's butts almost every day, and were pestering them to go out of the city to play.

The two did not dare to ask their father for a gun openly, but they had no scruples about Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, who had always been extremely tolerant of them and loved them. Therefore, since they had hunted a gun outside Yanjing City, they had completely fallen in love with the rifle.

"The matter between Otani Mountain Black Stone has not settled the score with you yet. Now you are fighting them again..." Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, feeling angry but couldn't let go, so he had to threaten Ye Qing.

"This has nothing to do with me. They like it, and it's not that I have to like it..." Ye Qing said innocently.

"If you don't let them contact you, will they dare? Without your approval, they dare to touch those... You all say that you have no eyes. If you are injured, it depends on how you explain to Qingcheng." Bai Chun said angrily.

"No, this thing is very safe, let alone Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can accompany you, what can happen?" Ye Qing had to comfort Bai Chun who was worried, and then changed the topic: "When King Qing and Duke Chong were in Lin'an, they discussed with the court about the Northland Punishment Prison. However, after I returned to Northland, I was busy with the attack on Jin, so the Punishment Prison was never really settled..."

"So you have thought that once officials from Lin'an or Jiangnan come to the North, is there any advantage or disadvantage to the North? Don't forget that Lin'an is so quarreling now, because of the current dispatch of the North. These officials will inevitably take various ways to give the officials in the court to achieve a prosperous career. Which of these people is willing to spend their own money? At that time, will they deduct it from the people?" Although Bai Chun knew that Ye Qing was changing the topic, she looked for Ye Qing because now Ye Qing returned the North to the court, which may cause the people to suffer.

Looking at Ye Qing who was silent and thoughtful, Bai Chun continued, "You are weak in the Lin'an court. Over the years, you have never put your mind on managing the court. Although Dali Temple can be controlled, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice are far away from you. So... this... Once the officials in Jiangnan who are for the career and money enter the northern prefectures and counties..."

"Don't you still have an umbrella?" Ye Qing glanced at Bai Chun and said lightly: "The Imperial City Department has not been abandoned all over the years, right? Dong Chao has been busy with the affairs of Jin and Meng, and the affairs of the court in the north...."

"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 able to hold an umbrella for many years in Chang'an. In addition to Ye Qing supporting her, it is because she has a good aide Liu Lan'er.

But now, after she came to Yanjing, Liu Lan'er naturally went to Xingqing Mansion, and

It’s not like before, I would return to Chang'an from time to time and discuss with Bai Chun for some things. Now I have to make the decision by Bai Chun alone and sort it out.

Looking at Ye Qing who was still calm, Bai Chun couldn't help but frown and said suspiciously: "Abandoning the control of several routes in the north, are you planning something? Or... you did it on purpose?"

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Bai Chun and said, "Is the north ground used as bait?"

Bai Chun nodded silently, looking at Ye Qing's slow and unworried look, which made her have to wonder if there was still something ulterior motive behind Ye Qing.

Ye Qing did not directly answer Bai Chun's question, but looked up and sighed with a little melancholy: "It is difficult to eliminate corruption in the officialdom. Moreover, even if you want to eliminate it, it cannot be just the north in the future, but the entire Song Dynasty officialdom. The most important thing is... all this depends on whether Zhao Kuo has this meaning. If Zhao Kuo does not have this meaning, even if I take strict precautions, it will be treated with symptoms but not the root cause, and it will not be able to solve corruption in the officialdom from the root."

"So you plan to make things worse and let corruption appear in the north, so that Zhao Kuo can truly face it..." Bai Chun asked solemnly.

"If Zhao Kuo confiscated Shi Miyuan's home, how many good things do you think you can copy out?" Ye Qing slowly got up with a sneer on his lips, walked to Bai Chun, stroked his still white cheeks, and thought for a while: "Even though Shi Miyuan is now the left prime minister, the Ministry of Personnel is still tightly held in his hand, so... I really want to see how many confidants he will send in the north...."

"No one, at least it's like this now." Bai Chun grabbed Ye Qing's hand that touched her face, and said with both hands gently holding the hand.

"Then wait and see. Perhaps Shi Miyuan is still cautious about the North now, but according to my guess, Shi Miyuan cannot not touch such a large piece of bait I threw to him..."

"Do you want to move Shi Miyuan directly?" Bai Chun asked with both hands.

Ye Qing looked down at the hand that was tightly held by Bai Chun, and asked back, "Why can't it? Don't you know how frustrating I have been in the court over the years? Now I have lived in Yanjing, controlling the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and I am also the King of Yan promoted by the court. So whether it is for the court or the people, shouldn't we eradicate Shi Miyuan, the biggest corrupt person in the Song Dynasty?"

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

Since Ye Qing's Northern Expedition, bloodshed occurred every time he returned to Lin'an. Now there are rumors that Ye Qing and Lin'an are incompatible with each other, completely like Lin'an's broom star. Every time he returned to Lin'an, he always had to cause some movement that shocked the entire court.

Tang Situi didn't count. Starting from Wang Huai, Ye Qing went to Lin'an almost every time he went back to Lin'an, a powerful minister would fall in the court. Zhao Ruyu was the same, Han Tuozhou was the same, and King Xin was the same. Even the death of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong was closely related to Ye Qing's return to Lin'an.

"It's time for me, Ye Qing, to be proud. Over the years, every time I go back to Lin'an, did you not have to be in danger with fear?" The sneer on Ye Qing's lips slowly began to spread.

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

Bai Chun's view, when Ye Qing was promoted to the Queen of Yan, Ye Qing should take this opportunity to further improve his relationship with the court and increase his trust, rather than returning to Lin'an with the taste of demonstration or liquidating old accounts.
