The hot summer has once again added a hot atmosphere to Yanjing City. The shouts of shouting in the streets and alleys are endless. Carriages and sedan chairs are shuttled back and forth between the streets, and people's clothes are becoming thinner.

In front of the open window of Xiyu Building, you can see graceful figures flashing by from time to time. The colorful service and glimpse of the eyes often make people who accidentally swept by the downstairs yearn for them.

After coming out of the palace, Wanyanzhi immediately jumped onto the carriage with curtains on both sides. After the carriage ran, the comfortable cool breeze blew, making people feel a sense of peace for no reason.

However, Wanyan Tu couldn't calm down at this moment, because he had never expected that the emperor suddenly summoned him to the palace today, which was for the administration of the Northern Prefecture!

What unexpectedly surprised him was that the emperor planned to let him take the lead in doing this.

Although he did not transfer himself to the Ministry of Personnel immediately, he did not seem to intend to transfer himself to the Ministry of Personnel.

But when the emperor left, he inadvertently said: After the court meeting tomorrow, he would give a decree. Wanyanshu was about to be sent by the Minister of Rites to serve as the Censor of the Censor.

The appointment of the censor who knows the miscellaneous matters is almost equivalent to the deputy position of the Censor Central Chief, which means that he will truly enter the ranks of third-rank officials of the Song Dynasty.

The breeze blew past Wanyan's trench in the carriage. Wanyan's trench, who still couldn't calm down, suddenly came to his senses while the carriage was driving and hurriedly said to the coachman: "Go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion."

This is a decision he had made since leaving the palace. No matter what the emperor's move meant, whether he was to win over himself, or to really use himself for the sake of the Northern Administration, Wanyan Tu should go to the Yan Prince's Mansion immediately after leaving the palace and tell the King of Yan truthfully about his entry into the palace today.

What's more, such a large piece of pie fell from the sky and hit him on his head, which did not make Wanyan Tu blinded by the power.

On the contrary, he is now very clear-headed. While rushing to the Yan Prince's Mansion, he is thinking in his mind how he can break the deadlock in the northern government once everything is settled tomorrow?

It is necessary to ask the King of Yan to give advice to him, and it is also necessary to ask Yelu Chucai, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to help him. Moreover... Wanyan Tu knew very well that with the help of the court and the emperor, if he took this step, he would probably become the object of criticism and dissatisfaction among many colleagues in the court.

After all, with the King of Yan always standing by, the imperial government in the Northern Land was gradually formed in the form of many interest groups, large or small, as the court wanted to change its official positions in a hurry to make it difficult to stabilize the imperial government in the Northern Land.

With the servants of the Yan Prince's Mansion Tong Bing, Wanyan Tu hurriedly followed the servants of the Yan Prince's Mansion to the back garden of the Yan Prince's Mansion.

The last time Ye Qing was able to stay with several girls for so long, whether it was Yan Qingcheng, Bai Chun, or Yelu Yue and Zhong Qing, I'm afraid I can't remember the exact time.

But Yelu Yue thought about it with her fingers, then nodded and said, "It should be when I haven't left Zhong Ye yet?"

"That's a few years ago. How old is Zhongye now?" Yan Qingcheng picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

"Anyway, it's been a long time." Bai Chun also said from the side.

Three beautiful women sat in the corridor pavilion by the lake. On the lakeside outside the corridor pavilion, Zhong Qing and Ye Qing each carried a fishing rod in their hands. There were only a few fish in their respective fish baskets. The temporary record was that Ye Qing was leading two fishes ahead of Zhong Qing.

So at this moment, Zhong Qing had no time to pay attention to the family affairs of the three sisters behind her. She always focused on the fishing rod on the lake, because fishing was her strength and she had never lost to Ye Qing, but today she was afraid she would make an exception.

The weather was already hot, and Ye Qing's clothes became thinner, especially his wives. As their clothes became thinner, they showed their enviable and well-proportioned figure.

Of course, even though Ye Qing is now the King of Yan, his waist is still straight and under his thin clothes, he still has a strong body. If he is an unknown person, looking at Ye Qing's strong body, he will never associate him with the prince's identity.

After all, in people's impression, the prince should be pampered, with fair skin, big belly, bright silk clothes and a noble posture.

He is not like Ye Qing, wearing an ordinary green narrow-sleeved single dress, with a clear edges and a bronze complexion, and his temples are gray.

"No more, let's stop here." As the Red House shouted to Ye Qing in the corridor pavilion, Wanyan Tu was already waiting in the corridor pavilion in front, Ye Qing put down the fishing rod and said lightly.

"No, it's not time yet." Zhong Qing raised her face, which was still fair and delicate, and looked at Ye Qing who was standing up and said dissatisfied.

"I've caught two more fish than you before the time comes. You've lost anyway." Ye Qing looked a little proud.

I have to say that Wanyan Tsai came at the right time, otherwise he would not be sure whether he could beat Zhong Qing in the end.

Zhong Qing bulged her cheeks, and her anger and dissatisfied look was not abrupt at all when she was on her. On the contrary, she had a different style.

"Let the Red Mansion replace you, in short, there is no time, even if you won't win." Zhong Qing obviously wanted to save her complete victory.

"I'll take my husband." Yelu Yue put down the snacks in her hand, raised her hand quickly and said, and then ran over excitedly.

"Aren't you afraid of tanning?" Ye Qing didn't want to continue the competition, he just wanted to save the results. After all, this was a chance to win Zhong Qing after all.

"Just hold an umbrella. Okay, then you can compete with me on behalf of him." Zhong Qing seized the opportunity and said hurriedly.

Yelu Yue walked to the lake and pushed away the King of Yan who was blocking the road without any gentleness. Then she picked up the fishing rod. Zhong Qing also smiled proudly at Ye Qing, who was helpless, and her chance to overtake finally came.

Yelu Yue had no patience at all and it was difficult for her to calm down. Letting her replace Ye Qing was almost equivalent to letting Zhong Qing win again.

Ye Qing sighed helplessly. Seeing that his advantage could not be saved, he might have to continue losing to Zhong Qing. After shaking his head, he walked towards the pavilion where Wanyan Tu was located.

Wanyan Tu seemed very nervous and cautious every time he came to the Yan Prince's Mansion. When he was waiting for Ye Qing to come, even though a maid had prepared tea, fruit snacks and tables and chairs for him, Wanyan Tu didn't even move, and kept standing quietly in a corner of the corridor, waiting for Ye Qing to arrive.

As Ye Qing walked into the corridor, Wanyan Tu hurriedly saluted Ye Qing respectfully.

Ye Qing waved his hand casually, then sat down after facing the lake not far ahead, and said casually: "Sit down and talk, there is no need to stand all the time. How is the injury? It looks good."

"Thank you, King Yan, your injuries have been cured." Wanyan Tu still had half of his butt, and I don't know if he was tired, but every time he came to the Yan Prince's Mansion or faced Ye Qing, Wanyan Tu was like this. No matter how long it took, he could maintain this humble sitting posture.

"That's good. Thank you for your life and you can go back to the Ministry of Rites. I'm afraid things will be inevitable at that time. When you are busy, Ye Qing said with a smile, and handed Wanyan a cup of tea.

Wanyan Thorn got up and took it, and then continued to have half of his butt sitting. Looking at Ye Qing with a relaxed expression, Wanyan Thorn did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Today, the emperor summoned the lower officials into the palace. After the lower officials left the palace, they went straight to you. Please give me some advice to the lower officials."

"Oh? The Lord summoned you into the palace?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then understood and asked, "Is it the affairs of the officials in the northern states?"

"It's this matter. The emperor asked some officials about the administration of officials in the imperial study. The officials naturally analyzed from the perspective of the court, so the emperor deliberately ordered the officials to deal with the administration of officials in the northern prefectures." Wanyan Tu said without concealment.

Although he has been recuperating in the mansion for many days, as Wanyan went from Yi to the grassland, the only one who could come to the mansion to visit him often was Yelu Chucai and the only eunuch around Li Shi'er, who would occasionally visit him for his injuries.

So from Yelu Chucai, I also learned about some things that made the court full of trouble.

The reason why Yelu Chucai was unwilling to stand out was that since the King of Yan had already let go of the government and the officials in the north, these were the affairs of the court. With the strong label of King of Yan, he naturally could not appear at will.

Of course, his experience of being an official in the Song court over the years also made him realize that it was too difficult to be a Jin man or an old Liao man to be in the Song court.

Even Yelu Chucai, he still has no real friends in the court, only eternal interests with his colleagues.

As the saying goes, people are in the world and cannot help themselves. Although Yelu Chucai is now the Minister of Personnel, it is precisely because he was an official in the Song court that he had been in the Song court for too long and unknowingly, some interests were involved.

Therefore, if he was asked to take the lead to breaking the deadlock of the Northern Region's administration, the effect would not be as good as the emperor imagined, and if it was not done well... it would also involve the reputation of the King of Yan. Therefore, Yelu Chucai would rather be a turtle than interfere with the affairs of the Northern Region's administration.

Yelu Chucai would not say these words to Ye Qing, but he could open his heart to Wanyan Tu.

Wanyan Tu entered the palace today, and originally wanted to refer to Yelu Chucai's approach and try not to touch this matter.

But Zhao Kuo didn't give him the chance to refuse at all. His strong and domineering performance made Wanyan Tuo not have time to refuse, so he was decided that he was already.

He Wanyan Tu died of damage due to this matter. He didn't care. Just as Yelu Chucai was concerned, if the reputation of the King of Yan was also involved, then he would be punished as death.

Ye Qing's index finger tapped the table in front of him, and the tea had cooled down. Wanyan Tu carefully poured out the cold tea and changed Ye Qing a cup of tea.

Ye Qing then picked up the teacup and placed it on his nose, sniffing the fragrance of the tea, and then said, "Yelu Chucai likes to show off his little cleverness. He always thinks that he is smarter than others, farther and more thorough than others. His personality will sooner or later harm himself."

Wanyan Tsu did not speak, picked up the teacup and started drinking tea. This was not the time for him to interrupt. He and Yelu Chucai could talk about everything, but in front of Ye Qing, he still had the right to listen now.

"When the censor knows the miscellaneous matters, the third-rank official, then, even if he stepped into the power center of the Song court, this was something I didn't expect when I brought you from Lu Long to Yanjing. What do you think about it yourself?" Ye Qing put down the teacup and asked.

Wanyan Tsu looked at the empty cup in front of Ye Qing, and first poured tea for Ye Qing calmly, then gently put down the teapot and said, "Xiao Guan is indeed a little worried, afraid that Xia Guan will accidentally affect your reputation. But... Xia Guan really wants to try it out. First, he doesn't want someone to guide Xia Guan behind his back. He has completely relied on your relationship to take up the position of Minister of Rites, and second, he doesn't want to lose face for you."

"Does Li Shi'er know about this?" Ye Qing said without comment.

"The official has not told his wife yet." Wanyan Tu said.

"Then tell me what you plan to do?" Ye Qing asked.

Wanyan Tu had already thought a lot in his mind along the way. When facing Ye Qing's inquiry, he sorted out his thoughts in his heart and began to say: "The officials think that the officials have an advantage, that is, the officials have also served in the Jin Dynasty and then served in the Song court. Whether it is Lu Long or the several states around Lu Long, the officials are well aware of the ideas of some local officials, and understand what they want in the local officialdom and their attitude towards the people. Now, although the prefectures in the northern part of the state have taken replacement measures after you let go of the administration of the officials, they obviously do not really understand the officialdom in the northern part and the balance between the officials and the people, and they do not know that the northern part is different from the wealth in the southern part. Although taxes are the only stepping stone to the road to promotion for a parent official..."

I have to say that Wanyan Tu has made a lot of preparations along the way, and now when talking about Ye Qing, in addition to being organized, it is more like talking about state affairs to the emperor of a country, and it is even more detailed than what Zhao Kuo said in front of him.

After Wanyan Tu finished speaking, he quietly looked at Ye Qing looking at the lake in the distance. At this time, an excited woman's voice came from there. Zhong Qing finally surpassed Ye Qing with the advantage of a fish before the end of the fishing time. No, he overtook Ye Lu Yue, who had already run into the corridor pavilion after throwing down the fishing rod.

"The people in the north are strong, and officials from the south come to the north to appoint and dismiss them, and they will be infected with some of the tough habits of the north. If you have made a decision to take over this matter, you must also know that this matter is an extremely difficult matter and may offend your colleagues because of this. I believe this is also why Zhao Kuo asked you to treat the censors and know the miscellaneous matters at the same time, and this is also to make you less involved and obstacles. The memorials of impeachment and attacking you will naturally not be in a minority. The Censorate can stop the priests first. Therefore... the Chief of the Censors is also an extremely important key." Ye Qing said lightly.

"The official understands. If the emperor issues an order after the court meeting tomorrow, the official will plan to visit the Chief Censor as soon as possible." Wanyan Shu said.

"Do you need me to say hello to you? There is a sudden addition to the Censor's Office. I'm afraid the Censor Zhongcheng will not feel very comfortable. I'll say whether he would like to see you or not." Ye Qing asked.

"I won't bother you if you have such a small matter. As long as you support me to take over this matter, I will be satisfied." Wanyan Tu had already had a scheming in his heart, and he also had the label of King Yan's confidant. With this, he believed that even if the Censor Zhongcheng didn't want to see him, for the sake of the King of Yan, even if he didn't want to see him, he would have to see him.

Ye Qing nodded in agreement, and then said, "Wuque and Tolei went to the grassland a few days ago and took away one hundred guards here. Now I only have one hundred guards left here, I am afraid I can't share them with you. Because I will go to Liaoyang Prefecture in a few days, and I have to use them to protect you. So, you don't have the qualifications to use the imperial guards. Choose a hundred soldiers from the broken camp for your dispatch."

"I'm afraid this matter of King Yan..." Wanyan Tu was shocked. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing not only agreed to accept the matter, but also wanted to support his hundred soldiers and protect him.

"Take this past to break the camp and choose according to your own plan. Since you take over this matter, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some people, and you cannot stay in Yanjing to deal with this matter. It is indispensable to run around the state prefectures. It is most appropriate to bring these people to protect them. But you must remember one thing, don't use them to deal with the people and shock those officials." Ye Qing said unquestionably, and then threw a small tiger talisman to Wanyan Tu.

"Thank you, the Lord of Yan." Wanyan stood up and saluted grandly.

Ye Qing waved his hand casually, signaled Wanyan Tu to sit down, and then said, "You must have an idea on Yelu Chucai. As long as you two cooperate well, the matter of the Northern Region administration will be resolved from the root. I am waiting for your good news."

Jia Jinye stepped into the corridor pavilion and immediately handed a secret letter to Ye Qing, saying, "King Yan, Deputy Protector of Andong, Liu Keshi's secret letter."

Ye Qing took it and read it quietly in front of Wanyan Tu, then put it back into the envelope and said lightly: "What do you think of Yao Li?"

"Brother Yelu Liu's wife?" Wanyan Tu asked with his eyes lit up.

"Yes, I was once taken under the tent by Temujin, but now Temujin is dead. Because the Yaoli clan has three sons and one nephew in the Qiexue army, the status of Yaoli clan, which was originally like a transparent man in Mongolia, suddenly became higher and became the target of everyone's fight for." Ye Qing said calmly.
