In June of the 16th year of Chunxi, three months later, Ye Qing did not wait for the prince's mansion to come, and he did not even wait for Li Fengniang's private letter.

This was a result that satisfies him. What was more joyful was that Ye Qing's resignation from the position of pacification envoy of Huainan East Road was rejected by the court.

What followed was that the court was rarely quite efficient. In a very short time, Ye Heng, who recalled the co-pacant envoy, sent Xiao Zhen to Huainan East Road as the co-pacant envoy and the prison envoy. As for the position of the co-pacant envoy on Huainan East Road, the court still handed over to Ye Qing.

Ye Heng, who served as the Tongfu Envoy of Huainan East Road and the Inspector of the Commission for a year and a half, originally thought that he could enter the official career again and restore his official position to his then-year.

So just as he was alone thinking about how to meet with Ye Qing, who was about to return to Lin'an after becoming the pacifier of Huainan East Road, a document from the court was transferred back a year after Bai Bingzhong returned to Lin'an.

Unprepared for defense, Ye Heng, who was confused in his heart, immediately thought that this must be related to Ye Qing's voluntary resignation from the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road. Even this is Ye Qing's move on retreating as an advance, and he was transferred back to Lin'an to trade with the court about his being recalled to Lin'an.

But the imperial court's orders are hard to violate. Even Yangzhou, after more than a year of development, has seen its increasing scale, increasingly dense population, and increasingly prosperous scene, making Ye Heng very reluctant to leave this. He is watching the prosperous city day by day.

Of course, he knew very well that Yangzhou had such a vast city because of Ye Qing's contribution to the Northern Expedition, but over the past two years, he has also put in too much effort and energy for the increasingly larger Yangzhou.

Looking at Yangzhou, which is now becoming more and more prosperous, and looking at the original city wall becoming an inner city and the newly built outer city wall, the entire Yangzhou has become like a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ye Heng had no choice but to secretly remember all his dissatisfaction with the court on Ye Qing's head.

The other one who came to Jinan Prefecture with the 14th imperial edict was Liu Ke. Compared with Xiao Zhen's steady approach, Liu Ke's army was obviously more suitable for sharp innovation and administration.

In addition, since this guy was reused by Ye Qing, he had changed his mind and changed his mind. The original pedantic trait of a scholar on his body had long disappeared. Now standing in front of Ye Qing, he is a pragmatic, decisive, decisive, and scheming person.

However, judging from his actions in Yangzhou, Liu Keshi is also a cruel and ruthless person. During the period when Ye Qing was not in Yangzhou, he was able to compete with Ye Heng and Liu Dexiu with just the identity of a transshipment envoy, and was able to support Lu Yanlun and Xiao Zhen's expansion of the city without any interference. He gave the two unconditional people and support. This is enough to show that Liu Keshi's methods and cunning are completely suitable for managing the complex officialdom in Shandong, including Nanjing Road and Jingzhao Road, as well as those wealthy families who have fantasies about the Jin people, etc.

Pour Li San and Zhao Qier led his navy back to Haizhou again, leaving Lao Liu and Li Heng to guard Jinan.

Liu Keshi, who was darker than before, looked much more confident than before, listened to Ye Qing's arrangement and nodded and shook his head. Without knowing the existence of the Hua Family Army, he thought about it and said: "Sir, you have returned to Lin'an with fourteen imperial edicts. Although the court said that you would not pursue your resistance to the imperial edict,... As the saying goes, you must be guarded against others, and there is also the lesson of General Yue's past. Therefore, the officials thought that after the Jin people retreated north, Jinan Prefecture would not be in danger for the time being. You might as well bring more people back to Lin'an. In this way, you can protect your safety on the way. Even if you return to Lin'an, in front of the court, you will only lead the three armies to accept the rewards from the court. I believe that no one would say anything else, and you would not attack you because of this."

Although Liu Keshi was not very clear, his meaning was already based on the lessons from Yue Fei's previous experience, and he reminded Ye Qing that the court's words should be listened to. If you take it seriously, in the end, the one who was unlucky would definitely be himself, not the court.

So, bringing more people back can lead the army protecting Ye Qing to Lin'an on the grounds that they are afraid of encountering the remnants of the Jin people along the way, and asking the court to reward the three armies.

"Do you know my intention to ask you to come to Jinan Prefecture?" Ye Qing did not object or agree with Liu Ke's suggestion, and continued to ask lightly.

"The officials understand. Now there are many remnants of Jin people in the north, and there are many fish and dragons in the officialdom. Whether they are all determined to surrender to the great... The Song court still has a thought of Jin. It is probably difficult to make a conclusion in a while. The officials will carefully identify them, which will definitely reassure the court." Liu Keshi looked at Ye Qing's easy-going and deep eyes. After more than a year of real battlefield training, he became more wise and sharp. So when he changed his mind, he had to change whether the words he said were all determined to surrender to the Song court.

"It's naturally the best." Ye Qing said lightly.

"Sir, don't worry, Beidi 4th Road has returned to my Song Dynasty. The lower officials naturally know that if there is any disturbance and news that is unfavorable to the adults, how should Beidi 4th Road make its position?" Liu Ke's eyes were firm and clear. Facing Ye Qing's smile-like expression and sharp and wise eyes, Liu Ke's master wanted to take out his heart and let Ye Qing see who he was loyal to.

Tacit words naturally refer to how the four northern routes should put pressure on the court and use this to increase the bargaining chips for Ye Qing to make Ye Qing repeat the mistakes of Yue Fei.

"Okay, I understand your feelings. Nanjing Road is the most important thing. As for Jinan Prefecture and the entire northern part, I will leave it to you, Chen Cishan, Yang Huaizhi and the other three." Ye Qing picked up the teacup and signaled to Master Liu Ke to try the new tea he brought to Ye Qing from Yangzhou.

Ye Qing, who had been talking to Liu Ke for a while, carried another box of tea that had not been moved before, and surrounded by Jia She and others, walked towards the mansion of Wang Wanyan Yongji, Wei Shao.

Liu Keshi has always not understood why Lord Ye kept him instead of bringing him back to Lin'an and handing him over to the court. After all, this is definitely the most effective way for Ye Qing to make many ministers in the court who impeach and attack him immediately shut up.

Even after he asked out his doubts, Ye Qing just shook his head and said with a smile. In the future, you will know that the benefits of not giving Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji to the court today are just now... we can't see it yet.

Wanyan Yongji's mansion in Jinan has undergone tremendous changes compared to his appearance around the New Year. Although the embellishment of green trees and red flowers makes the mansion look more grand and elegant, it gives people the feeling of being empty.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Qing's easy-goingness and the way they got along with Wanyan Yongji during their daily routine of playing chess, talking and drinking, the way they got along was more like a friend. Therefore, when Ye Qing entered Wanyan Yongji's majestic mansion, no servant dared to stop Ye Qing and others.

Every time he saw Ye Qing appearing from afar, his servants would immediately run into the mansion to report to Wanyan Yongji.

This time it was obviously an accident. Although there was one missing concierge at the door, Ye Qing did not meet Wanyan Yongji who came out to welcome him when he passed by the front yard.

"This old guy won't run away, right?" Ye Qing looked at the somewhat empty mansion and continued to walk forward.

Jia She, behind him, was also exploring everywhere, listening to Ye Qing's words and reflexively: "It's impossible, even if he wants to secretly leave Jinan Prefecture, it will be difficult."

The two of them walked through the moon gate to the backyard. Even though there were jingling sounds and noisy voices in their ears, they did not see Wanyan Yongji appear in front of Ye Qing.

Bypassing the rockery in front of me, in front of a row of houses in front of me, dozens of servants were seeing carrying boxes, nailing boxes, and those who packed boxes were also meticulous and cautious.

"You want to go back to Yanjing so blatantly. Are you too unfair to take me Ye Qing seriously?" Ye Qing leaned against the pillar of the pavilion lazily, looking at the mouth and shouting "Be careful," said Wanyan Yongji, who is more valuable than your life.

"I don't have time to play chess with you, a bad chess player today. I have to put all these things in order to avoid being in a hurry in the future." Wanyan Yongji's rare face was gone without cynicism, and he personally directed his subordinates with a serious look on his face.

"What if I don't let you go back to Yanjing?" Ye Qing asked with a casual smile.

"Then don't think I'll play chess with you in the future." Wanyan Yongji waved his hand and drove away flies impatiently. He turned his head and saw the tea leaves in Jia She's hands at first sight. His eyes lit up immediately. He ignored the servants. He walked straight to Ye Qing and pretended to be surprised and said, "Hehe, the first time I saw Lord Ye coming to my house, I thought you didn't understand etiquette..."

"This is not for you, this is for Wanyan Jing. I stayed in Yangzhou for a few days and liked this kind of tea. It happened that someone came to Jinan Mansion today, so I brought some here." Ye Qing smiled disdainfully and said.

Wanyan Yongji didn't care, so he took the tea from Jia She and sniffed it through the packaging: "Don't you think Jing'er doesn't understand tea, so he took some tea to deceive him, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you, and it's not for you. Why do you care about so much?" Ye Qing sat down in the main hall, and then signaled Jia She to stand at the door and not allow any idle people to come in.

So, the mansion of King Wei Shao, who was already busy packing things, suddenly became quiet. There were only a few palace maids. In the front hall, they opened the tea that Ye Qing planned to give to Wanyan Jing. Then, looking at Lord Ye of Song Ting, nodded to their King Wei Shao, and kept praising: "Good tea, good tea, how about brewing it again?"

"Okay." Lord Ye replied.

Then the two of them played chess and drank tea while continuing to shake their heads and admired the good tea and good chess.

So when Lord Ye left, less than half of the tea that he had originally given to the Jin Dynasty was left.
