Among these two people, one is Xiao Min, who also serves as the envoy of Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road.
The other one was shepherd's purse. Li Suining appointed her as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road and went to Yizhou.
There is no doubt that shepherd's purse's military achievements have accumulated prestige in the army, and he is courageous, decisive and responsible, rough and fine, and has no shortage of military talents. Li Suining needs to pacify the western border to deter Tibet, and clear out Li Yin's remaining forces.
Go, she is relieved.
Yao Ran selected more than twenty subordinate officials to accompany Shepherd's Purse, all of whom were selected scribes from a hundred. They were either selected from Jiangdu's counselors, or from the Cui family, the Changsun family, and the Chu family.
Hao Huan also followed Shepherd's Purse, and they also brought several girls adopted from Jiangdu Shantang. As for Dumpling, she was kicked by Shepherd's Purse to the Imperial Academy when she was old enough.
Before leaving, shepherd's purse and Xiao Min entered the palace together to bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor. Shepherd's purse patted her chest and promised: "Your majesty, just rest assured. After I and General Xiao leave, in less than three years, the southwest will be tidied up neatly and submissively."
!”
Xiao Min, who has always been calm and conservative, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this - three years is not enough, this eldest sister really dares to say that! Moreover, the eldest sister is responsible for Jiannan Road, but he has to take care of the two Lingnan Roads in central Guizhou. Lingnan is so big and so difficult...
…The eldest sister became bold, but she didn’t care about his life or death.
However, His Majesty the Emperor nodded happily.
"..." Xiao Min couldn't stand anymore. He felt that he had to start quickly. Time was tight and the task was huge.
After shepherd's purse and Xiao Min left Beijing, the appointment letters of governors of various states were successively issued from the Ministry of Personnel, but the new emperor never mentioned the appointment of other governors.
Li Suining did not want to set up another military envoy, so she appointed shepherd's purse and Xiao Min because she needed to consolidate the southwest territory.
After that, when the situation everywhere is settled, she will officially abolish the Jiedushi official system.
As a new emperor who started with military power in hand, Li Suining knows better than anyone the fatal drawbacks of Jieduzhi's ability to control the tail. She will not repeat the mistakes of her predecessors and become a puppet king held hostage by local military power.
Now that the general trend has been determined, no mistakes are allowed on the border. Xiao Min and Shepherd's Purse are guarding and gathering in the southwest, Kangcong and Shiman are in the east, and Shuofang Army and Longyou Army are in the north - and when Li Suining negotiated peace with Beidi, he proposed
Arrive at the Anbei Protectorate.
Li Suining wants to change the Anbei Protector's Palace into the Great Protectorate's Palace, and establish three more Protectorate's Palaces in Beidi, under the jurisdiction of the Great Protectorate's Palace - Bai Hong has already recommended himself to Beidi to supervise this matter.
Tang Xing had made meritorious service in the Battle of Beidi and deserved a reward, but he was really not used to being locked down in one official position for a long time, so Li Suining gave him the status of a supervisory censor and asked him to patrol the world on behalf of the emperor.
Later, there was an errand to a foreign country, and Li Suining also planned to hand it over to him.
In addition to the above-mentioned awards for meritorious service, the rest are posthumous awards for those who died for their country.
Generals such as He Wuhu were granted posthumous titles, and ordinary soldiers who died in battle and who had family members and descendants were all given generous pensions.
He Wuhu had no family, so Qihu received the rewards on his behalf. Qihu thought about it and gave the rewards to Sheepspurse.
Shepherd's Purse took out half of it and gave it to Qi Hu and other brothers who had accompanied He Wuhu from birth to death. The rest was used to care for the families of He Wuhu's men who died in the war. Shepherd's Purse himself didn't keep anything - He Wuhu took Jiangdu's little The hospital was left to her, which was already very valuable from the point of view of her heart.
Shepherd's Purse will use the two adjacent small courtyards in Jiangdu City to adopt more children.
Luo Guanlin was posthumously named the Crown Prince and Tutor, with the posthumous title of "Zhenxin". He was included in the Confucian Temple and the Xian Temple in his hometown of Prefecture, and was given the title of Duke of Qi, which was inherited by his descendants.
His daughter Luo Xi entered the Ministry of Industry to study and gain experience.
His son Luo Ze followed Song Xian, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and temporarily served as the chief registrar.
Grandma Jin couldn't stay idle. She was going to invite herself back to the Jiangdu workshop. Yao Ran learned about this and told her that the workshop would not only be built in Jiangdu, but also in Luoyang and other places. Sites were also being selected for her elderly family in the future. The place of martial arts.
Grandma Jin finally agreed and stayed with peace of mind.
Speaking of workshops and workmanship, Shen Sanmao had previously politely refused to become an official in Beijing, and had casually suggested in a letter that in a few years, Ache could be trained in the Ministry of Industry. The child was still young and was better than him as a person. The bottom line is that it is a material that can be built.
Before Li Suining had time to think about this matter, Meng Lie had already taken Ah Che to the Tai Tower.
When he was in Jiangdu, Ah Che had been working beside Meng Lie, but at some point he caught Meng Lie's eye.
Ah Che is down-to-earth and hard-working. More importantly, he has no relatives and has been rescued by His Majesty. He is loyal to His Majesty... This is very similar to Meng Lie back then.
Meng Lie thought that he was getting older, but the secret intelligence network in his hands could not be abandoned just because His Majesty ascended the throne. On the contrary, it should be operated with more diligence.
Meng Lie needed to find someone who could take over and take him with him to train him carefully, and Ache was the person he chose.
Ah Che followed Meng Lie and learned to take care of the affairs in the building. On this day, Ah Che learned to summarize to Meng Lie the latest news that has attracted attention in Gyeonggi, including a lot of rumors about the relationship between Zhongyong Hou and the eldest princess Li Rong. Meng Lie was speechless when he heard this, and simply said: "...Ignore anything about these two people."
Now almost everyone in the capital knows that Chang Sui'an is the daughter of Princess Xuan'an, and this is an open secret.
After learning about this relationship, some people secretly speculated on the bet - is Zhongyong Hou expected to win the honor and become the oldest consort since the founding of Pangu?
When Chang Kuo heard about this, he was so angry that he didn't go out for several days.
When he didn't go out, the eldest princess Xuan'an came to look for him. Of course, it must be in the name of "coming to see her son."
Chang Sui'an was really busy after returning to Beijing. Whenever she stayed in the city, she would always run between the Marquis's Mansion and the Grand Princess's Mansion, carrying water until she was sweating and doubting life.
Fortunately, after he was awarded the title of General Guide, he spent most of his time handling military affairs in the Xuance barracks outside the city, and would not be able to come back for more than three to five days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Changsui An is not in the city today, but it does not prevent the drunkard Li Rong from looking for him.
…
It was getting late. Cui Lang, who was waiting outside the imperial city, saw the familiar figure wearing a doctor's robe walking out and hurriedly greeted him: "Mianmian!"
Qiao Yumian is now a medical officer in the Imperial Medical Office.
Qiao Yumian originally wanted to take Master Tuoyouping with her, but Doctor Sun did not dare to enter the palace.
Finally, Dr. Sun agreed to live with Mrs. Chu in a hospital on the outskirts of Beijing, where the scenery was beautiful, quiet and comfortable. Taifu's body needed a doctor to take care of him, and it was also convenient for Qiao Yumian to consult the master at any time.
At this time, Qiao Yumian glanced at the officials who were looking at him, and asked Cui Lang in a low voice: "What are you waiting for here?"
"Today my grandma came to visit..." Cui Lang imitated her and lowered his voice: "After a long afternoon, I sent word that we had a very pleasant conversation! Mrs. Wang even stayed with my grandma for dinner, hehe."
Qiao Yumian's face turned red, and she did not hide the joy in her eyes. She nodded and said, "My father also praised you the day before yesterday."
Cui Lang hurriedly asked why he was so praised.
Qiao Yumian walked forward and said, "I thought it was a bad bamboo shoot, but I didn't expect that after peeling off the skin layer by layer, it would grow into such a straight and good bamboo."
"..." Cui Lang gave a thumbs up: "My father-in-law has indeed a vicious eye!"
As he spoke, he straightened his back, patted his chest, and said confidently: "I will definitely work hard to grow straighter in the future!"
Qiao Yumian blushed even more, looked behind her again, and said angrily: "Stop yelling..."
Only then did Cui Lang realize that he had just spoken out what was in his heart, and hurriedly slapped his mouth as a punishment.
The two of them walked forward together while talking. Cui Langcai asked again: "Has your majesty given any instructions regarding the selection of the emperor's husband?"
Qiao Yumian shook her head: "I haven't heard the news yet, so I can't ask Ning Ning."
After saying that, he thought for a while and said: "However, you should know that the old lady was summoned to the palace yesterday? Yao Tingwei also followed him into the palace, I don't know if it was for this reason... But Mrs. Lu asked you to inquire
of?"
"Isn't that right?" Cui Lang said: "I'm not worried... His Majesty has rewarded all the meritorious deeds, but he has not rewarded the eldest brother. Doesn't this mean that he has other plans?"
In terms of military achievements, no one can surpass his eldest brother except His Majesty himself.
For such a great contribution, there is no reward. If it is not waiting to be given the position of royal husband, what is it?
There are many people who have the same idea as Cui Lang, and many officials are very worried about this. They try to persuade the Emperor to think twice, but His Majesty does not mention the plan directly; they want to find out something from the general.
, but Cui Jing didn't like to interact with others, and kept to herself as before, leaving them at a loss.
Wei Shuyi saw the helplessness of the officials, but had to admit that Cui Ling'an was indeed the best candidate.
In the golden autumn of August, envoys from various states arrived in Kyoto to pay tribute to the new emperor of their country.
Jin Chengyuan has not left yet. He plans to stay for a long time. Recently, he is taking Dongluo officials to learn about Dasheng culture. The person in charge of this matter is Cui Lang, who works in the Ministry of Rites.
After all the envoys from various states arrived, the Dasheng court held a banquet in honor of them.
But just before the morning meeting the next day, a major event occurred that all civil and military officials had not expected.
When the world was first settled, the new monarch made many changes related to the military and political system. The officials had different opinions. Cui Jing, as the leader of the generals, firmly supported all the decisions of the new monarch.
The attitude of Qiao Yang, Minister of the Ministry of War, is not as roundabout as Cui Jing's, but his position is also obvious. He is also a supporter of the New Deal. He is now and will be in the future.
Most of the officials in the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province also held a similar position to Qiao Yang. Under this situation, the resistance to the new monarch's implementation of the New Deal was almost equivalent to no resistance.
After the conservative officials clearly saw this, all they could do was compromise and make supplements as much as possible, trying to make the new policies as smooth as possible.
These government affairs that had been discussed for many days were no longer enough to stir up the emotions of the officials. What made them unexpectedly uproar was the action of the general.
Cui Jing took the initiative to hand over Xuance's military talisman and invited himself to take the position of general in Xuance's mansion.
Xuance's army, which had grown stronger due to recruitment during the Northern War, was like a sharp sword hanging over the new dynasty in the hearts of many officials... This was also the biggest reason why most officials opposed Cui Jing as the emperor's wife.
The word power is so complicated and dangerous. Such a heavy power can destabilize the country. Even if Cui Jing has no dissent for a while, he will become the best sword in the eyes of those with dissent. With such a presence, it is bound to breed and encourage more dissidents.
——Under this premise, if he becomes the wife of an emperor again and is just below one person, is it really a good thing for the country and the people?
Officials' concerns are far from unfounded.
There is no child's play in the country. Crisis and chaos arise from carelessness. In the face of the safety of the world, the theory of love is too illusory. This has nothing to do with the distinction between men and women. This is the situation of imperial power and the court. Even if the emperor today is a man, a man with such a heavy army in his hands
They also dare not accept the female queen.
They thought about relinquishing Cui Jing's military power, but this was also too dangerous. If they were not careful, it would backfire and cause catastrophe... So they were anxious and could only try to persuade the new king to choose another good mate.
But no one expected... Cui Jing, who had never said anything, would take the initiative to hand over military power!
This huge unexpected surprise made many officials subconsciously question it, but they did not dare to be careless and credulous - turning the left hand over to the right hand, handing over the position of general to a confidant? In order to eliminate their wariness? To defraud the position of the emperor's husband?
However, what Cui Jing said next once again exceeded their expectations.
Cui Jing proposed that Xuance's military talisman would only be in charge of the emperor from now on. The general position in Xuance's mansion would be removed, and only standing generals would be appointed. The emperor would appoint military generals to lead the army during war, and the talisman would be returned to the emperor after the war.
This proposal to "remove the post of general in Xuance's Mansion" caused the Hanyuan Hall to suddenly become silent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the main hall, only the calm and calm voice of the purple-robed young man could be heard. He raised his hand and saluted, almost as a remonstrance, and clarified the general of Xuance Army.
Disadvantages of the job.
He said that the Xuance Army was originally founded by the former crown prince Li Shang. It is understandable that such a magical army should be in the hands of a country's crown prince. However, if someone else takes over, there is a danger of shaking the country and the country.
The existence of the Xuance Army is now too large. If the position of general is continued, it will be like exposing a huge amount of wealth, which will continue to attract dissatisfied people, which is not conducive to the stability of the people of the country.
The sword that protects the country should not become the blade that threatens the country, otherwise the original intention of the late prince to create this army will be lost.
After saying this, Cui Jing held the ceremony and asked again: "Therefore, Cui Jing implores Your Majesty to remove the position of general in the Xuance Mansion, so as to eliminate the source of danger for the country!"
In the minds of all the ministers, this was the first time that the powerful Governor Cui had publicly asked for advice in this hall.
Cui Jing was a loner and a rebellious person. He never followed the arrangements of the Cui clan and never participated in political affairs or party politics in the court. He always only trained his soldiers and fought his own battles. If
If there is a request, he will write a memorial and submit it. If the court shirks the empress and refuses to agree, he will write another one. If the imperial court refuses to agree again, he will no longer persist -
But do you think he has compromised on this?
No, he turned around and did it on his own...
Otherwise, how did the tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appear in Bingzhou come from?
The imperial court, which originally rejected his proposal to expand the cavalry, had no idea about this!
In fact, I just go my own way and am lawless.
The advantages of this kind of person are undeniable. He is far-sighted, capable, and independent-minded but only insists on his opinions. Such people will not obey discipline. It is for this reason that all officials feel great intimidation and oppression.
But no one expected that such a person's first advice to the emperor was to hand over his military power and ask the emperor to completely remove him from the post of general.
