Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Then pass on my decree and appoint Fan Xin as the General Manager of the Western Expedition, who will be fully responsible for the crusade against Tubo."

What surprised Li Xian was that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jianzhi and others showed a hint of embarrassment.

"What's wrong, dear friends? Is there any problem?"

The ministers looked at each other, Zhang Jianzhi raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. Duke Yan has already submitted his resignation to Fengge Luantai, and he has probably resigned from office now."

what?

Li Xian put down his writing brush and looked at several close ministers in surprise. Although Fan Xin had dismissed the chief administrator of Hebei Province and the defense envoy of Henan Province.

But he was still the prime minister of Fengge Luantai and the Duke of Yan.

The power in hand has not been reduced much.

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, this guy handed in his resignation and left the court. Didn't he feel sorry for the power in his hands at all?

Also, he is also the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. In what way is he inferior to his mother and queen, so that this guy would rather give up his official position than be loyal to him?

Seeing the emperor frowning with an unhappy look on his face, Zhang Jianzhi continued.

"Reporting to your majesty, not only Duke Yan followed the Supreme Emperor out of the court, but also Wei Yuanzhong, the imperial censor, Di Renjie, the official of Fengge Luantai, as well as Zuoweiwei General Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide and other dozens of ministers. "

"The imperial court wants to send a battle-hardened veteran to the front line, I'm afraid."

Zhang Jianzhi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement at all.

Originally, Wu Zetian's abdication was a good thing for the new monarch, but no one expected that these important officials in the court would also leave with him.

This will lead to a situation where the new king will take the throne and no one will be available.

Hearing this, Li Xian's face sank slightly, and anger burst out in his heart. These ministers have simply gone too far!

As soon as he ascended the throne, he hung up his crown and left collectively. This was obviously looking down on him as the new emperor.

After thinking about this, Li Xian suddenly stood up from behind the big case and said angrily.

"I don't believe that without him, Fan Butcher, the imperial court will not be able to eat pigs with hair on them. Come here and draw up a decree! Li Qingyuan, the former general of Yu Linwei, has been promoted to the general manager of the two marches in Gannan and concurrently as the governor of Liangzhou."

"We must defeat the Turkish-Turkish coalition within three months and take the head of Songtsen Chidu!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Song Jing and Yao Chong's expressions changed slightly, and they wanted to stop the emperor. However, Li Xian was so angry that he couldn't listen at all, so he waved his dragon sleeves and left the Qinzheng Hall.

"What should we do in Guangping? Tufan has deployed 160,000 troops on the front line. Can Li Qingyuan cope with it?"

Song Jing glanced at Yao Chong and said hesitantly.

"I think it should be possible. Li Qingyuan has followed his father in the Yulin Guards since he was a child. He is the best choice in terms of qualifications and talent."

"Now that there is no one available in the court, we can only let him take over."

Having said this, Song Jing seemed to feel something was wrong again, stroking his beard.

"However, just in case, before Li Qingyuan sets off, you and I need to inspect it to avoid anything going wrong."

Yao Chong nodded in agreement: "I have exactly what I mean." He then gave instructions to his entourage.

"In the name of Fengge Luantai, go to the Yulin Guards and tell Li Qingyuan that I will review the three armies."

"Yes, Minister Yao."

The entourage bowed, exited the hall and headed towards the Habayashi Medical School grounds.

Yulinwei, school grounds.

Under the scorching sun, thousands of guards in bright armor stood on the battlefield with spears in hand for drills.

On the awning, a middle-aged man with a dignified face inspected the soldiers below with a saber in his hand.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he shouted.

"stop!"

"General, what's wrong?" the deputy general asked in confusion.

"Humph!"

Li Qingyuan snorted heavily, pointed at a soldier and motioned for him to be dragged out with a weight of twenty army sticks.

"There is a saying in the art of war that when two armies are fighting, the brave one wins, and the highest state of bravery is to have a well-organized army and not show composure in the face of the collapse of Mount Tai."

"Only in this way will the army not be defeated when fighting."

"Keep practicing!"

Just when Li Qingyuan was about to continue supervising the soldiers' training, a soldier ran from a distance, knelt on one knee and said.

"General General, someone from Fengge Luantai has informed me that the two Prime Ministers Song Jing and Yao Chong are coming to inspect the army, so you should be prepared!"

"Okay, the general knows."

After letting his subordinates leave, Li Qingyuan touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and said with suspicion.

"It's strange. Fengge Luantai never reviews the army. Why do you think of the Yulin Guards today? Could it be that something happened?"

The recorder on the side said thoughtfully.

"Is it related to the Tufan Turks teaming up to threaten the border of the Zhou Dynasty? I heard that the imperial court is planning to send a general to take charge there."

Li Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and he exuded a strong sense of confidence, laughing loudly.

"So this is what happened. I thought it was some big deal. A few foreign tribesmen are nothing to worry about."

"When Lun Qinling served as the general of the local vassal, I was even afraid of him. Now he has been strangled by the local vassal king. Looking at the world, who else is my opponent?"

"The order goes down, the army gathers and prepares for the drill!"

When the sun was high in the sky, several carriages, escorted by the guards, slowly drove into the Habayashi Guards camp.

In order to show the orderliness of the military, all the guards guarding the gate of the camp were replaced by tall soldiers by Li Qingyuan.

Song Jing and Yao Chong in the carriage couldn't help but nod.

"Not bad. He has a neat military appearance and a tall and powerful figure. He looks like a well-trained battlefield veteran."

"This Li Qingyuan deserves to be able to become a general at a young age. He really has two skills."

Driving all the way into the Yulinwei camp, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the commander's tent. Li Qingyuan led dozens of generals in heavy armor to greet them, kneeling on one knee and saying.

"The last general Li Qingyuan met with the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty and Prime Minister Yao!"

"Haha, General Li, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

In view of the previous impression, Song Jing had a good impression of Li Qingyuan, so she walked closer and helped him up.

After the two parties finished their greetings, Li Qingyuan dropped his smile and said solemnly.

"Two Prime Ministers, the army drill is ready. Let's go to the school field for the military parade first. I will give you a reception banquet later."

"It's okay. The two of us are entrusted by the imperial court this time. That's what we mean. Let's go there together."

"please!"

"please!"

After the two sides arrived at the Habayashi Guards School Ground, the Habayashi Guards who had been waiting here suddenly let out a roar.

Under the sunlight, the armor looks like a sparkling lake, which looks quite impressive from a distance.

"Haha, yes, yes, General Li really leads the troops well. Five thousand people can move so neatly, even the northern and southern yamen can't find a single guard."

Yao Chong stroked his beard and said in approval.

Being praised by the important officials of the imperial court, Li Qingyuan smiled modestly.

"If there are no problems with the two prime ministers, the general will prepare for a military parade."
