The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 912 Getting Ready
"My Majesty, the three thousand soldiers and horses sent by the South China Sea Capital Division have crossed the Zhenxi Pass yesterday, and they will reach Tianshan County someday!"

"The 4000 troops sent by the Jiujiang Metropolitan Division will also cross the river today, and they will reach Tianshan County in five days!"

"Duji Qinghe..."

In Qian'an Palace, all important officials of the imperial court attended the discussion, and two privy envoys were reporting the situation to Zhao Yanxun.

It is now October 27, and the troops dispatched by the capitals from various places are already on their way to Tianshan County, and they should all be in place within this month.

It took a month to month to mobilize troops from all over the country and send them to the northwest region. This is already an extremely terrifying mobilization ability.

After all, the present is ancient times, there are no vehicles and horses, and there is no means of information technology, which has great requirements on the efficiency of the military management system.

After listening to the situation of each capital division, Zhao Yanxun also knew it well.

"Everywhere is marching normally, and the Privy Council is well trained!"

This is not wrong. The Privy Council plays an extremely critical role in the transformation of capitals in various places within a year.

Guan Hetai, the right envoy of the Privy Council, said hastily: "Relying on the emperor's great blessing, the general and the school will do their best, how dare the ministers covet the merits of heaven!"

Zhao Yanxun waved his hand, and then said: "To be meritorious is to be meritorious, you don't have to refuse!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the other people in the hall, and said, "Everyone, the great war is imminent. Although the war depends on the life of the soldiers, it doesn't stop there..."

"Food, weapons and armor are even more indispensable. All ministries must follow the cabinet's plan to ensure the use of frontline soldiers!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

When the hall became quiet, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Lu Chaowen.

As the third-ranked bachelor in the cabinet, now that Wang Xie and Wang Xie are not in the capital, Lu Chaowen is actually the chief assistant.

"Lu Qing!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I'm going to the northwest now, and I will hand over the affairs of the court to the cabinet!" Zhao Yanxun said very solemnly.

The emperor entrusted the state affairs to his courtiers. What kind of trust and respect did this show? Even though Lu Chaowen was nearly sixty, he was very excited at this moment.

Kneeling on the ground, Lu Chaowen kowtowed and said, "This humble minister will definitely live up to the emperor's great trust!"

"I can trust Lu Qing!"

Although Cheng Wenguang is more trustworthy, he has been in the cabinet for too short a time, and he is still not as experienced as Lu Chaowen in handling matters, so Zhao Yanxun handed over the state affairs to Lu Chaowen.

"Cheng Qing!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Being pointed out by the emperor, Cheng Wenguang quickly took two steps forward with a serious expression on his face.

"You will be responsible for the planning of military supplies in the Northwest, and you will supervise the cooperation of all ministries!"

"The minister takes orders!" Cheng Wenguang replied.

Northwest military planning is a very complicated task, not at all easier than Lu Chaowen.

"The Privy Council!"

Spotted by Zhao Yanxun, two privy envoys stepped forward, bowed and said, "My minister is here!"

"The guards of the left and right prisons are temporarily under the control of the Privy Council to protect the safety of the capital!"

The imperial army is directly commanded by the emperor, and the Privy Council only has the military authority of the capital. Zhao Yanxun's arrangement is really unexpected.

In the land of Gyeonggi, the left and right prison gate guards can be called Dinghaishenzhen, and Zhao Yanxun's intention is already obvious when they are handed over to the Privy Council for control.

It is to use the army to deter courtiers who have misbehavior.

If Zhao Yanxun added the words "acting cheaply", it would be more of a warning. He didn't say that he wanted to save more face for the courtiers.

"The humble minister takes orders!" The two privy envoys said very seriously.

Next, Zhao Yanxun made a lot of arrangements, talking nonsense for more than half an hour before letting all the courtiers leave.

Three days later, after the first dynasty in early November, Zhao Yanxun will set off for the northwest.

He couldn't leave with peace of mind if he didn't arrange the affairs inside and outside the court properly.

After the courtiers dispersed, the two commanders who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time were led into the main hall by Wu Hong.

These two are Zhang Meng and Hu Dabiao, who are in charge of the left and right guards and are responsible for guarding the imperial city.

"Wei ministers meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

Although Zhao Yanxun is a confidant, these two people don't have many chances to come to Qian'an Palace, so they use the most solemn etiquette to pay homage at this moment.

"stand up!"

Holding a pen, Zhao Yanxun sketched on the notebook, but did not look at the two people in the hall.

The emperor was speechless, and the two of them could only stand still, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

After reading the stack of notebooks next to him, Zhao Yanxun put down his pen and looked up at the two generals in front of him.

"I want to go north to supervise the battle. The guard of the imperial city is very important. You two are my confidantes, so I will hand over the capital to you!"

Various personnel and policy arrangements are very important, but in this turbulent time, military arrangements are the most important.

The two members of the Privy Council are old men in the palace, Zhao Yanxun trusted them, so he entrusted the guards of the left and right prisons to control them.

However, the left and right guards are stationed outside the city, and they are more responsible for deterring the capital. If there are changes in the capital, they may not be able to take care of them in a short time.

The defensive force in the capital is composed of five thousand guards from the five city soldiers and horses, and four thousand imperial guards from the imperial city.

Although the army of Wucheng Bingmasi is loyal enough, it is still inferior to the left and right guards, so Zhao Yanxun will call Zhang Meng and the two.

"In case of turmoil, you two don't know how to make a choice, so you can ask Zhou Chengping, the censor of the left capital!"

Although Zhou Chengping was a bit straightforward, his loyalty to Zhao Yanxun was unquestionable.

Zhao Yanxun even believed that even if something happened to him on the front line, according to Zhou Chengping's temperament, he would risk everything to help his two-year-old son succeed him.

Father dies and son succeeds, there is a principle of succession, Zhou Chengping will definitely carry it out to the end.

"According to the order!"

Next, Zhao Yanxun arranged some things, generally speaking, it was a rainy day.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Yanxun asked the two to leave the hall, and then he will summon Zhou Chengping alone.

He has arrangements for every minister, but some are open and some are dark.

Time passed quickly, and after meeting the courtiers alone, it was almost dark outside.

"Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the meal?"

"Well... bring Lin Quan and Huo An again!"

"According to the order!"

Even though the imperial court's finances are now a little more generous, Zhao Yanxun's dinner is still simple, and it is not extravagant and wasteful.

A few minutes later, Zhao Yanxun had finished eating, Lin Quan and Lin Quan were already waiting beside them, they were serving just now.

One of them is the notorious director of editorial affairs, and the other is the director of palm prints who is known as the inner minister. They are usually served by others with all their heart and soul, and it is rare to do something to serve others at this moment.

Even though they have been pampered and treated well in the past year, the two of them have no hope of looking after the house, and the service they serve can be described as thoughtful, which makes Zhao Yanxun feel very comfortable.

"Lin Quan, during the time when I'm away, you have to show me the inside and outside of the court!"

Lin Quan hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, even if the slaves are smashed to pieces, they will not let people with ulterior motives make trouble!"

"I can rest assured that you are doing business!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun asked Lin Quan to get up.

Although Lin Quan's methods are more ruthless, he just matches the position of editorial supervisor, so he is not worried about Zhao Yanxun.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun turned his eyes to the other side and said, "Huo An..."

"The servant is here!"

"You have practiced in the palm seal supervisor for more than a year, and you must have a sense of control over internal and external political affairs!"

Huo An has no heart to fight, and the most important thing is that he is smart, so Zhao Yanxun sent him to the palm seal prison.

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves have benefited a little, but they still need to learn more!"

Huo An being so modest made Zhao Yanxun feel more at ease.

So he said: "In the future, as long as there is no violation of the rules in the approval documents of the cabinet, you can directly use the seal!"

"If there is something inappropriate, you can ask the cabinet first, if you still feel inappropriate, you can send a message to me!"

"The servants lead the decree!" Huo An solemnly kowtowed.

After these things were finished, Zhao Yanxun asked the two to leave, and he planned to read some more notes.

Walking out of the palace gate, the two eunuchs looked at each other, and they could see each other's determination from their eyes.

As the ancestor's loyal dogs, they will risk everything to get the job done and guard the house for the emperor.
