As Ye Qing returned to Yanjing, some people in Yanjing became anxious and nervous inexplicably, especially the officials who ran from the south to the north to find ways for their careers, were even more anxious, wishing that in these two days, they could settle their future careers before the King of Yan returned to Yanjing.

Although whether the King of Yan returns to Yanjing or not has much to do with his promotion as an incomparable official, he even has no qualifications to let the King of Yan look at him, for some reason, in the minds of many people, they believe that once the King of Yan Ye Qing returns to Yanjing, then the officials who go north will definitely return in Yanjing without success.

Of course, many people are not because the King of Yan would cause any obstacles to his career, but because the path he was looking for in Yanjing may be affected by the King of Yan's return to Yanjing Mansion, which makes the path he found confined. In this way, if he is cautious, he will naturally be unable to help him move forward in his career.

Also anxious were Xu Yi, Li Bi and others, and the news that King Yan was about to return to Yanjing was like a thick dark cloud, which seemed to be mixed with lightning and thunder slowly covering their heads.

A new mansion has been established in Yanjing. Now, because Yan King Ye Qing is about to return to Yanjing, he instantly becomes less than so satisfied in his eyes.

From time to time, he lamented in his heart: It seems that it is still too late. If he had known this, he would have done it earlier. In this way, even after the King of Yan returned to Yanjing, many things were already for sure and could not be changed. Even if the King of Yan was dissatisfied with the appointment and removal of officials in the court and promotion, he might not be able to do anything for a while, right?

But now, although they have already established a new mansion and have made up their minds to serve in Yanjing, the King of Yan is coming back before the career has come to an end, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

Compared to being anxious and restless because Ye Qing was about to return to Yanjing, unlike the ant on a hot pan, Han Yanjia finally breathed a sigh of relief. The return of Yan King Ye Qing may be accompanied by a trace of blood and storm, but no matter what, it can at least shock some speculators in the court today and also a truly Qingming court in the court.

Now it is the court that has just gained a foothold in Yanjing. Obviously, everything needs to be sorted out from the beginning, so it has given too many people the opportunity to speculate, making it seem a bit messy now that it is not a real dynasty.

Some people in the harem extended their hands to the court. Although there were officials in the court who did not form cliques for personal gain, at least they began to form cliques and there were many people who gathered together to keep warm.

The news that King Ye Qing of Yan led his army from Lu Long three days ago and set off for Yanjing made Han Yanjia instantly see the light. When he returned to the mansion, he was in a good mood. Now that the King of Yan is back, those speculative people will probably be safer. They will never dare to make the whole city of Yanjing like these days.

After the Yan King Ye Qing attacked Yanjing, he immediately began to open the canal from Lin'an to Yanjing. The two used were Tian Li and Wang Rujia, the former former minister of the Jin Dynasty. Now they are the ministers of the Song Dynasty's Ministry of Works, assisting the Minister of Works Yang Zhongfu in the Ministry of Works.

Yang Zhongfu, who came to visit the Han Mansion, looked at Han Yanjia in a good mood, with a hint of joking: "Why, Lord Han's right minister's appointment has been implemented?"

"Master Yang underestimates Mr. Han too much? Doesn't Han care about this person who sent him? Why are you in a good mood today? Why should Lord Yang ask him knowingly?" Han Yanjia signaled his subordinates to serve him tea, and then sat down and smiled.

Seeing the servants in the study slowly withdraw, the joking meaning on Yang Zhongfu's face disappeared instantly, and it was replaced by a serious expression, saying, "Yes, compared to some people, Lord Han is truly noble and honest, serving the country and the people. However, Lord Han is afraid that he will completely offend some people. Although Lord Han is a relative of the royal country, some people are also supported by the palace behind him, and not to mention that some people were the masters of the saints back then. When Yang came here today, I still hope that Lord Han should not be too upright. If he is too tough and easy to break, Lord Han is naturally more transparent than Yang, right?"

"Thank you for your concern. Lord Yang is willing to come to Han's door in person under the current situation. Han is really grateful." Han Yanjia picked up the teacup and signaled Yang Zhongfu to drink the tea ceremony.

"You and I have a colleague, and Yang admires Lord Han's character very much, so... No matter what happens next in the court, Yang will not sit idly by and watch Lord Han." Yang Zhongfu continued sincerely: "Of course, Yang also knows that the Ministry of Works has always been on the verge of the power of the court. In addition, Yang has been inspecting official roads in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for several days, building passes, and knows little about the matters of the court..."

"Han is satisfied with Lord Yang's feelings." Han Yanjia nodded and said gratefully, then took a deep breath. After thinking about it, he still felt that he should tell Yang Zhongfu, who had just returned to Yanjing in front of Yang Zhongfu, so as not to worry about himself all day long after returning to Yanjing.

"Master Yang, Han might as well say that Han is actually...he is now in Yanjing Prefecture to be safe." Looking at Yang Zhongfu's expression that he didn't understand, Han Yanjia smiled calmly, and then continued: "Since the quarrel with Zuo Xiang in the court that day, Han's situation is indeed a bit bad, but... it has passed. Lord Yang just returned to Yanjing, and he is afraid he still doesn't know that after the court is over, the emperor's imperial study room has sent three orders in a row."

"Master Han, you are my right prime minister today?" Yang Zhongfu was excited and asked hurriedly.

"Hahaha..." Han Yanjia looked at the excited Yang Zhongfu, laughed a few times first, and then waved his hand and said, "Han's talent is not capable of such an important position. If there are those who are capable, Han dare not covet it at will. Besides, Han knows that he is not talented and knowledgeable, so he can't take on such a great task. However... there are a few other things that Han wants to say."

Yang Zhongfu calmed down from the excitement and frowned slightly, "Master Han wants to talk about this from Yanjing Mansion..."

"Yes, it was the dispatch of Yanjing Prefecture that Jiang Xin, the former governor of Yanjing, would go to the four governors of Andong after the New Year. The vacant prefectures and transfer envoys are now home, and they are called Wanyan Congyi."

"Golden Man?" Yang Zhongfu was startled and almost jumped up from the chair. Then he immediately realized something, and his expression changed: "It's the Yan King who has not returned to Yanjing yet, but it has already begun..."

"I don't know whether it is the meaning of the King of Yan or the Emperor, but what is certain is that the relationship between Wanyan Congyi and the King of Yan is probably very deep. After the general of Wanyan Congyi arrived in Yanjing with the King of Yan, he immediately took office. The second imperial edict from the imperial study room of the palace was Li Lifang, the former Minister of Justice, who was appointed as the pacification envoy and deputy transshipment envoy after arriving in Yanjing on the New Year, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites changed another person, and it was the prefect of Lu Long who came to serve as the position of Wanyan Tuo." Han Yanjia said secretly.

Yang Zhongfu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. The situation in the officialdom has always been complicated. One or two can be seen from the three imperial edicts of the priest. The seemingly simple three imperial edicts are a game between multiple forces. No, perhaps it is a game between the priest and the King of Yan.

"The governor of Lu Long Wanyan Tu can be said to have reached the sky in one step." At this time, in an ancient mansion, Xie Shenfu frowned, pondered for a while, and continued: "Obviously, the emperor deliberately did it. The reason why he chose to announce the imperial edict in the imperial study room after we waited for the court was to warn us that there was no room for change in this matter."

"Ye Qing's hand is too fast? He has already started to work on Yanjing affairs before the man has returned? And... Lord Xie, according to your opinion, is it more meaningful for the King of Yan to coerce the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of

"Li Lifang is still in Lin'an. He is the concession of Ye Qing. After all, the 5,000 imperial guards in the palace are actually Ye Qing's people. Therefore, to see the tricks of this matter, you need to wait for Li Lifang to come to Yanjing to take office and see if the imperial guards in the palace will be moved. If it is moved, it means that the appointment of the prefect, the comfort envoy, and the consignment of the Yanjing prefect, the comfort envoy, and the consignment of the transit envoy are just a temporary solution between the emperor and Ye Qing. The two sides make a compromise after the game and concession." Xie Shenfu analyzed cautiously.

"What if Li Lifang took office as the pacification envoy, he would still not move the imperial guards in the palace?" Xu Yi's heart was already in his throat. The result he wanted was that the appointment of the prefect of Yanjing, the pacification envoy, and the transshipment envoy was the best way for him to hope for.

"If it doesn't move..." Xie Shenfu frowned even more and said heavier: "Then Ye Qing's position in the court will still be as stable as Mount Tai, which means that the emperor still trusts Ye Qing very much. So do you want that kind of result?"

"Of course it is the latter. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to keep Ye Qing away from the court and away from power?" Xu Yi said without any concealment.

"The King of Yan has been in the north for many years. The court is in the north and is considered a new arrival in front of the King of Yan's power, not to mention the ministers who followed the court. It is reasonable to move or not. What is important is that we must be able to become a force that restrains Ye Qing for the sake of the emperor. In this way, the court can reach a certain balance, so that Ye Qing will still cover the sky with one hand after returning to Yanjing, and no one can resist." Xie Shenfu said after careful consideration.

"In addition to these three things, there is actually one thing that is quite surprising today." Xu Yi sighed and shook his head.

"You mean that Han Yanjia was not appointed as the right prime minister by the imperial study room?" Xie Shenfu sneered and said, "I mentioned it to the Empress Dowager that day when I entered the palace. The Empress Dowager's attitude was ambiguous, but now it seems that the Empress Dowager listened to my suggestion and did not intend to build another force headed by Han Yanjia in the court."

"So that's it..." Xu Yi's eyes began to shine. He had coveted the position of the right prime minister for a long time. Now the imperial capital moved north, and many personnel and dispatches were not in a vacant position, but some officials in Lin'an Prefecture, although they were still Shangshu and Assistant Minister, the already formed court in Yanjing has gradually replaced the old Lin'an office with new offices.

In this way, the Song Dynasty court is obviously like there are two courts, and Lin'an's status is constantly declining. However, because Yanjing has not yet completed everything, Lin'an, a capital that can now be regarded as a capital, still needs to continue to exercise its rights for the court in some functions.

But it is precisely because the court is now in such a time when power is moved north and its functions are a little confused and overlapping, which makes some officials who are concerned about the past and worry about gains and losses, as well as some speculators, begin to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation, exclude colleagues or replace their colleagues' dispatch positions.

Some officials who stayed in Lin'an Prefecture may not be able to continue to serve in the office where they were originally appointed after the court completely moved north. Some people who may have been promoted may also lose their chances. Some people who are close to Yanjing or who have good relationships with some people in the court may seize this opportunity and soar into the sky.

In short, at this time, many people's career and future have become uncertain, and some royal relatives like Li Lifang don't have to worry too much, so that they can sit firmly and wait for the time to ripe before heading north to Yanjing.

The Minister of Personnel was instructed by Ye Qing to stay in Lin'an, hoping that the Ministry of Personnel, which is the head of the six ministries, would be more clear and less confusion. But even so, now that we have gone to Yanjing to seek officials, there are still countless people who want officials.

What Xu Yi coveted was the assignment of the right prime minister, not to mention that Xie Shenfu's career and promotion also gave him a lot of inspiration.

After all, Xie Shenfu was able to have such a status today entirely because he was not afraid of Ye Qing as a powerful man in the court, which made the court and the Empress Dowager willing to form a force that could restrain Ye Qing in the court with him.

"You might as well run into the palace more often. After all, you are still the master of the saint, and there is no harm in communicating with the saint more often. Of course, what should you say and what shouldn't be said, you must have a clear mind. Of course, since I mentioned to the Empress Dowager that Han Yanjia is not suitable for being the right prime minister, I will also mention this matter appropriately on the saint. Although Han Yanjia is a relative of the royal country, Han Yanjia's position tends to be Ye Qing, so no matter what, he should not be the right prime minister. Otherwise, wouldn't Ye Qing be like a tiger in the court?" Xie Shenfu pointed out lightly.

Xu Yi instantly understood that if he went to the palace, he should say something and not say something, and should criticize him. Who would impeach him to gain favor for him in front of the saint? Similarly, with Xie Shenfu's promise, his confidence increased greatly.

"The King of Yan returned to Yanjing, I'm afraid it's been the case in the past two days." Xu Yi thought about it and felt that it was still a little inappropriate, so he carefully reminded Xie Shenfu.

Now, he wishes that the imperial study room would be able to issue an order to be the right prime minister of the court in a while, so that he would not have to worry that Ye Qing would ruin his bright future after returning to Yanjing.

"Today, you heard my suggestion in the court that you would not welcome the King of Yan back to Yanjing with great fanfare. There are probably many Ye Qing's eyes and ears in the court, and this matter will soon reach Ye Qing's ears. So in this way, it may be possible to delay the speed of returning to Yanjing. I hope that Ye Qing will be dissatisfied because the emperor agreed that he would not welcome him with great fanfare, so he would be slow on the road and wait for the emperor to change his mind." Xie Shenfu said in a scheming manner.

This instruction made Xu Yi overjoyed. For a moment, he even felt that the imperial edict sent him to be the right prime minister of the court seemed to have flew to his mansion from the imperial study room in the palace.

Just when Xu Yi ran into the carriage from Xie Shenfu's mansion with almost no feet and drove directly to the direction of the palace, Jia Jinye and Jia Xiwu, who had already secretly returned to Yanjing last night, led dozens of guards beside Ye Qing, and followed Zhao Paner in the carriage to a huge mansion in the north city of Yanjing.

Yanjing City has been able to see dozens of people rushing in a direction with great momentum for a long time. Even if dozens of business travelers enter Yanjing City every day, those business travelers have no way to compare with the dozens of people passing by in front of them.

Although each of them was not murderous intent, the solemn intention that was exuding in the chill still made the pedestrians on the road hurried to both sides involuntarily, hurrying, nervously and curiously making a passage for these people.

When he was standing at the door of Zhang Bao, who was just standing at the door of the concierge, looked at the alley not far away and suddenly shouted, including the exclamations of some pedestrians, he initially thought that there was something conflict between pedestrians and small vendors on the road.

When he saw a carriage, followed by dozens of people, he saw that he was not ordinary people or business travelers, Zhang Bao felt his legs weak in an instant. Even though he could not tell whether those people were coming towards them, he hurriedly pushed the doorman and said, "Hurry, report to King Wen, someone from Song Ting is here..."

The concierge was pushed by Zhang Bao and still didn't understand what was wrong, but he followed Zhang Bao's order and rushed into the mansion. At this time, Zhang Bao, who had forced himself to stand at the door, felt a mysterious and mysterious aura in just a few breaths, which had already led him with the solemn group of people.

Especially when a leader with a thin figure looked at him from afar, Zhang Bao felt a sense of scattering. His legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground. Then he quickly turned around and staggered to run to the mansion.

Ye Qing, who had just set off again at this time, was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, and on the other side was Wanyan Congyi.

"You don't plan to let Wanyan Jie and the others have a New Year's Day?" Ye Qing asked with a relaxed expression.

When Wanyan Congyi borrowed dozens of personal guards from him the day before yesterday, Ye Qing had basically guessed what Wanyan Congyi was going to do. Of course, he did not expect that once Wanyan Congyi made a decision, he would be so decisive and decisive, which was quite the style of his behavior back then.

"Since they don't plan to let King Yan, you live a rare New Year's Day peacefully, why should you consider whether they can live a good New Year's Day? What's more, for them, it's not all the same where to spend the New Year's Day?" Wanyan Congyi said seriously.

Lu Long stayed for two days, and during these two days, many news from Yanjing Prefecture would make Wanyan come to see the news. Wanyan Congyi did not expect that the chaos in the Song court and the selfishness of the officials were even more chaotic and outrageous than the Jin people's court.

For Wanyan, who had just convinced himself and planned to follow Ye Qing to create a heyday, the blow was undoubtedly huge.

Of course, this also made Wanyan Congyi, who had already been determined to follow Ye Qing, had to start to exercise his right to be the prefect of Yanjing Prefecture without turning back.

Of course, some things still need to be discussed with the appeasement envoy. After all, a Yanjing prefect in the capital Yanjing is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants.

But now the appeasement envoy of Yanjing Prefecture is still in Lin'an, thousands of miles away. How did Wanyan Congyi discuss with others? Even if the letters have been discussed, I am afraid that the Spring Festival will probably have passed, let alone the New Year Day.

What's more, for Wanyan, who is about to take office, as the prefect and fortune envoy of a capital city, he also needs to establish his authority after taking office. After all, his identity as a royal royal clan in the Jin Dynasty will inevitably bring some obstacles to him after he takes office.

So instead of waiting for Yanjing Prefecture to plan according to the situation, it is better to take the initiative and take advantage of this opportunity to directly establish authority.

Although he was supported by the King of Yan, once he took office, he would never find the King of Yan to help him in everything, right? Otherwise, he might as well let the King of Yan serve as the magistrate of Yanjing. Why bother to let him come to Yi to serve as the dispatcher.

In short, Wanyan began to make some moves since the Yi people arrived in Yanjing. In addition to following Ye Qing's wishes, he killed the chicken and warned the monkeys to the Jin people in Yanjing City, and shocked some officials in the court, naturally, he also had his selfish intention of becoming the prefect of Yanjing for himself.

Ye Qing was willing to lend him dozens of personal guards, which already shows that Ye Qing agreed to him, so Wanyan Congyi, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, didn't have to worry about Ye Qing's objection at this time.

"I heard that Wanyan Tak had ever looked for you?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Wanyan Congyi said frankly: "Yes, I came to see me last night, and the meaning of being in and out is nothing more than hoping that after we arrive in Yanjing, we will help each other."

"Did you agree?" Ye Qing asked.

"Agree." Wanyan said frankly to Yi: "The appointment of the Minister of Rites seems to be the most insignificant among the six ministries, but it is also compared to the Jin Ting. For the Song people who read the books of sages, the appointment of the Minister of Rites is actually quite important. In addition, Wanyan Tsu is also a former queen, so I am not very easy to refuse."

Ye Qing nodded, then took a deep breath in the cold air and said, "The Ministry of Rites seems insignificant, but in a sense, some of his functions are no less than the functions of the Censorate. Moreover, the imperial examinations of the Song Ting have been established long ago. Officials of the Ministry of Rites are often in the court. If there is no major accident, they often have the advantage of taking action."

"Yes, as long as the imperial examination is still there, the status of the Ministry of Rites is naturally particularly important. However, when serving in the Ministry of Rites, you must first endure loneliness, and secondly, you must be able to live long. In this way, you may have the advantage of latecomer compared to other colleagues." Wanyan Congyi also analyzed it extremely accurately.

Ye Qing seemed very satisfied with Wanyan Congyi's answer, nodded and signaled that Wanyan Congyi could leave.

After Wanyan left Yi, Jia She jumped to the shaft of the carriage again, and Ye Qing turned around and got into the carriage. At this time, Li Shi'er was looking at him calmly. After a while, he said, "The Ministry of Rites is really as important as what you just said?"

"Nothing the six ministries is not important in the eyes of the court. It's just that most people only look at the present moment. Not many people are willing to spend ten or twenty years to plan slowly, so the Ministry of Rites does not seem that important. Of course, the court will also intentionally prevent the officials of the six ministries from being in their positions for a certain period of time, so naturally they are guarding against these ministers who are trying to win over power." Ye Qing found a comfortable position and leaned against the carriage and said.

Li Shi'er sighed slightly, then stared at the curtains of the car windows and murmured: "I don't know what the New Year will look like this year, and whether it will be as peaceful and festive as in previous years."

"Nine out of ten things are not as good as the world. Instead of worrying about those things, it is better to think about how Zhao Paner did you do about your mansion?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, and then when Li Shi'er looked at him, he continued, "Don't worry, I promised to give you the money to use to arrange the mansion. No money will be missing from you at that time."

"Pan'er has found a relatively good mansion. Although it is a bit remote, it is still pure. No one will come anyway, so it's better to be a little more pure." Li Shi'er's tone was filled with obvious words at this moment.
Chapter completed!
