In May of the tenth year of Jin Dading, Emperor Dajin Wan Yan Yong issued an edict, Zhao Tianshun Jun Jiedu envoy, General Longhuwei, King of Yan'an County, Privy Deputy Envoy, Beijing Left-behind Division, and concurrently served as the Northwest Road Edict to make Wan Yan Changzhi enter Beijing to enter the right.

After Yan Changzhi received the holy decree, he knew that the emperor was for the plan he proposed three years ago, and now it was time to implement it. Therefore, he ordered himself to return to the central capital, and he did not dare to slack off, and at this time, Wanyan Changzhi's wife, Wanyan Ruixian, was three months pregnant. After Yan Changzhi dealt with the affairs of Dading Mansion a little, he handed over all the political affairs to the Tongzhi Left-behind Affair Zhi Xiyan, the deputy left-behind Wanyan Qi, the transfer envoy Shi Kui, the police patrol envoy Zhong Dajing and other foreign affairs, and immediately took his pregnant wife, four disciples of Huining Temple, Shuhu Rahan, Wuyan Tuochi, Gao Linfu, Daduchen, as well as Sun Xianlu, Xiao Zhi and Zhang Hu and others who were collected in Beijing.

There was nothing to do all the way, and after ten days, a group of people and carriages arrived outside the middle capital. Wanyan Changzhi stopped his horse, looked up at the tall walls of the capital in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief, he had been leaving the capital for almost two years, and now he finally returned here.

At this time, Wanyan Ruixian lifted the curtain and asked, "Xianggong, have you arrived in Zhongdu?" ”

The way to finish the face: "It's in front, you've worked hard all the way, and you'll be home soon." ”

Wanyan Ruixian smiled and said: "Don't worry, my body is not so delicate, and it is only three months, so it's fine." As he spoke, his face flushed slightly, he looked down at his slightly bulging lower abdomen, and lowered the curtain again.

Wan Yan Changzhi waved the horsewhip in his hand, urging the chariot to move on. Turning his eyes, he suddenly found Zhang Hu standing aside, looking straight in the direction of the Zhongdu City Wall, as if he was in a daze. Wanyan Changzhi urged the horse to come to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you." ”

Zhang Hu came back to his senses and said: "This is the first time I've come to Zhongdu, so I'm a little out of shape for a while, and I hope your forgiveness." ”

After Yan Changzhi, he patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Brother Zhang, this is what you are talking about, even if you are the first time to Zhongdu, then you can have a good time in Zhongdu this time, Zhongdu City is much more prosperous and lively in Beijing, maybe Brother Zhang will be happy in this Beijing City." ”

At this time, Zhang Hu Yijing completely returned to normal, and said with a smile: "It's a newcomer here, and I'm going to ask the adults to do their best to be landlords." ”

In fact, in just over a year, Zhang Hu has become an important assistant to Wanyan Changzhi. When Wanyan Changzhi first arrived in Beijing, he vigorously and resolutely rectified the officials of Dading Mansion, and the rule of officials was slightly effective, but Wanyan Changzhi also understood that it was not easy to govern a good place, and it was far from enough to just rely on * Thunder means, and Wanyan Changzhi was born in martial arts, marching and fighting is certainly a strength, but governing the place and dealing with administrative affairs is not his good strength, although Wanyan Ruixian is brilliant and has unique insight, but he has never been a magistrate, so he can't help him much.

However, Yan Changzhi is a good and strong person, and he is determined to manage Beijing Road well, so as to live up to the emperor's high expectations for himself, so he must personally and seriously review all matters. But there are hundreds of things to deal with every day on Beijing Road, and there are thousands of things, and he often has to be busy until midnight to finish reading, which also makes him have a headache.

At first, Zhang Hu was only responsible for dealing with the affairs related to Tatars, and also helped Wan Yan Changzhi to deal with official correspondence related to the Chinese capital, although he was a business traveler, but his writing was excellent, the writing was concise and to the point, and after a month, even Wan Yan Yong personally wrote to Wan Yan Changzhi, praising his official documents for greatly improving.

Later, because there were too many government affairs and too busy, Wan Yan Changzhi was really compelled to do so, so he had to ask Zhang Hu to help him deal with some, and the result was handed over to Zhang Hu In Wan Yan Changzhi's opinion, it would take at least one day to complete the government affairs, but Zhang Hu only took less than an hour to deal with them all and handed them over to Wan Yan Changzhi's bookcase.

Wan Yan Changzhi was greatly surprised, opened it and saw that the handling instructions of each government affairs were well organized and reasonable, and there were many opinions that were even more appropriate than he thought, and a considerable part of them Zhang Hu clearly told Wan Yan Changzhi that it should be handled by the relevant officials first, and then submitted to the left-behind department for review, so all should be sent back for the relevant personnel to re-process.

It turned out that the officials at all levels of Beijing Road were also old fritters in the officialdom, and after a long time, they found that Wan Yan Changzhi did not have a complete understanding of the local administrative organizational structure, and it was easy to do the heavy things himself, so some people used their brains and pushed all the official affairs that should have been handled by themselves to Wan Yan Changzhi. Wanyan Changzhi doesn't know what's going on, and he handles official affairs very seriously, so as long as he takes it for official business, he looks at it, but as a result, he is tired day and night, but the officials at all levels below are happy to be at ease.

After listening to Zhang Hu say this, Wan Yan Changzhi was also a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect that he could come and go freely among thousands of troops, but he planted a big heel on this Beijing Road. However, after this time, he also found that Zhang Hu was not only outstanding in knowledge and extraordinary in writing, but also proficient in government affairs, so he simply pushed all government affairs to Zhang Hu to deal with. I just need to wait for him to finish processing, and then take a look at the approval and seal.

As a result, these things that made Wanyan Chang's head as big as a fight, when it came to Zhang Hu's hands, it suddenly became simple and relaxed, although Zhang Hu was not very old, but he had been in business for many years, had rich experience, not only was he familiar with the underlying ecology, but also had dealt with officials at all levels, and he knew all the shortcomings of local administration, and all kinds of officialdom methods of officials under him could not hide from him. Of course, Zhang Hu is also familiar with the routines in the officialdom, and he will never hold on to some things that can be put on the go, but he will never let go of those things that must adhere to principles, even if it is a good opinion, if it is unreasonable, he will not hesitate to dismiss it.

Fortunately, Wanyan Changzhi also trusts him very much, and almost obeys his words. As a result, since Zhang Hu took over, officials at all levels of Beijing Road suddenly found that their top bosses suddenly became smarter, not only were they no longer easy to fool, but if they were a little careless, even the officials would be confused. So I had to cheer up and didn't dare to be sloppy at all. And sighed, it turned out that Lord Wanyan was playing pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger at the beginning.

At this time, Wanyan Changzhi was freed from the heavy government affairs, and devoted himself to training the soldiers, supervising the construction of warships, and preparing to attack the Song Dynasty. When he returned to Beijing this time, he also deliberately brought Zhang Hu back to Zhongdu, wanting to show Zhang Hu's merits and talents to Wan Yan Yong, so that the emperor could use Zhang Hu.
