wait for me to be king

It was two months later when Xie Changfeng received Qi Yuan's letter.

Wu Peng, a very unconscionable little friend, took his wife to slap his ass and left. Xie Changfeng now not only has to take care of the newly established Jiuzhen County and Rinan County, but also pays attention to the Erniang of the Ruan family who is floating on the sea. The government affairs of the entire Jiaozhou! !

Nima is going to be crazy busy! !This job can't be done!

Xie Changfeng was deeply worthless for himself. He only got one salary, but he had to do the work of three people. How could he bear it?No wonder Wu Peng wanted to go back to the capital all day long, and Nima also wanted to go back!

Qi Yuan vowed in the letter that he could be transferred back. Although Xie Changfeng was happy in his heart, he felt that he could not put everything on love. Qi Yuan was originally the prince, and Emperor Xuanming had always been afraid of the prince. The situation is even more difficult, so he feels ashamed... what a ghost!

——Xie Changfeng is actually quite happy, which fully shows that Qi Yuan has him in his heart!

Under what circumstances would the emperor recall the general guarding the frontier?

The power is high.

Xie Changfeng was entangled, he had defeated Lin Yiguo, and Emperor Xuanming was determined to let him stay in southern Xinjiang, so he hated him so much?

Could it be... His eyes fell on the land of Nanzhao, and he really wanted to find Nanzhao's bad luck?

But if he continues to do so, there will be some trouble.

The reason for the war with Linyi State started from a small conflict in the border market. At that time, they were unfairly treated by the merchants of the Chu Dynasty, but they were forced into Linyi State by the army. If they use the same reason to find trouble in Nanzhao... …

Tsk, although there are many idiots in this world, there are also many smart people. Everyone is not blind. His method of deliberately finding trouble can only be used once.

Maybe there was a true connection between love and fate, Qi Yuan knew that Xie Changfeng would not wait for his news safely, so after writing to Xie Changfeng, he decisively worked overtime to prepare the memorial of the military system reform.

He first handed in a memorial to the Six Chief Protectors, specifying jurisdiction, rank, authority, time limit, and the number of troops in charge.

Sure enough, he was criticized by Xungui at the court meeting. Emperor Xuanming acted as a peacemaker, saying that the crown prince was young after all.

Then Qi Yuan looked ashamed, and then took out another memorial from his sleeve, the Sixth Protector became the Ninth Protector, and everyone was stunned.

"Before, I didn't think carefully before. After all, our Chu Dynasty was newly established, and the frontiers were not stable. Besides, the founding heroes have made great contributions to our great Chu. From now on, we should fight bravely. If there is no place to train troops, it will affect us even more. Since the military strength of the Chu Dynasty is as it is, it is better to set up a few more Protectorate Houses."

——In Qi Yuan's mouth, the Protectorate's Mansion is like a cabbage on the side of the road, it's as light as picking up another one if it's missing.

Emperor Xuanming's face was extremely ugly.

Although Xungui was happy in his heart, but looking at Emperor Xuanming's face, they couldn't help but shut up, and the civil servants in the court exploded. When Tang Dynasty was the most powerful and prosperous, there were only six establishments. How did it come to Chu Dynasty? Will there be nine?

And do we need so many guards?Does the imperial court have so much money, so much soldiers, horses, food and grass to support these Duhufu?The main duty of the Duhufu is to protect the frontier and promote the power of the Chu Dynasty. The Chu Dynasty has three sides of land and one side of the sea. Does the sea need to be defended?What is the use of the navy stationed in Yangzhou?Does the North need three Protectorate Houses?One in Liaodong and one in Beiting is enough!And why did the Tianshan Protectorate set up two?Wouldn't it be enough to come directly to the Protectorate of the Western Regions! ?

In this way, only four guard houses need to be established, how much food consumption can be reduced!

It has to be said that in the opinion of most civil servants, it is best not to use troops, and it would be even more wonderful if they could subdue the Quartet with the teachings of Tiankou Dynasty.

Oh, what a wonderful thought.

Emperor Xuan Ming felt a headache when he watched the grand court meeting that was noisy into a vegetable market.

Emperor Xuanming felt that he was really struggling.

If he is really that kind of brutal emperor, facing this situation, he can do whatever he wants with a flick of his sleeves. If he is an idiot who doesn't understand anything, he can completely leave the matter to the prime minister and the ministers. In the end, wait for them to fry the results and just push the boat along.

Emperor Xuanming's pain is that he knows what is wrong, but he doesn't know how to do it right ==

The profession of emperor needs to be pondered slowly. Qi Yuan spent 20 years thinking about it in his previous life, while Emperor Xuanming only spent three years thinking about it. This comparison naturally creates a gap in his heart.

And what troubled Emperor Xuanming the most was that most of the time he knew that the prince's approach was correct, but if he followed the prince's approach, where would he put his own face?If he doesn't follow the prince's way, he can't help himself! !

I'm so tired, I won't love anymore.

Therefore, when the news came from the harem that the new concubine was pregnant, Emperor Xuanming was overjoyed.

No matter what, he is still majestic!

Once Emperor Xuanming was happy, he turned a blind eye to Qi Yuan's memorial, waved his hand, and passed it.

After arguing and arguing in the court, it was finally decided to set up the six capital guards.

Qi Yuan sneered in his heart, these courtiers just didn't want to smoke, like goblins fighting, they had to pinch once to be obedient.

For the six major Protectorate Mansions, each of the Protectorate Mansions has its chief governor formally established.

The original general of Andong Protectorate Mansion was the Duke of Han, who is [-] years old this year, and his eldest son has been serving in the army in Liaodong, and now he is [-], so the Duke of Han asked to retire and let his son replace him s position.

However, Emperor Xuanming and Qi Yuan's military system reform was originally intended to weaken the influence of the general in the army, so naturally he would not allow the situation where the son inherited his father's career.

Therefore, in the end, the eldest son of Duke Han did not garrison Liaodong, but was transferred to Anxi Dufu Mansion and became the governor of Anxi Duhu.

Beiting Duhu Mansion, which is opposite to Anxi Duhu Mansion, was handed over to Zhao Ming, the former Jinwu Guard. After receiving the order, the butcher happily packed his bags and set out on the road.

And Yanghou Yening, the governor of Anxi Dufu Mansion, was thrown by Qi Yuan to Annan Dufu Mansion to guard Rinan Jiuzhen. Anyway, this land was brought down by Xie Changfeng. Qi Yuan naturally hoped that he would Fang's generals are in charge.

At the same time, Yuan Lai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was also sent out by Emperor Xuanming to go out of the town of Andong Protectorate. Hongyihou Wu Peng, who wanted to go back to his hometown, was thrown into Shanyu Governor's Mansion, and then the governor of Anbei Protectorate was vacated.

Neither Emperor Xuanming nor Qi Yuan wanted to hand over this position to the King of Guanghan, and of course the King of Guanghan was also unwilling, but the Anbei Protectorate was the frontline of fighting against the barbarians, and the requirements for generals were very high, so they could not be appointed casually.

In the end, after multiple assessments, considering that Ding Guogong, who was originally stationed here, had handed over his military power, and Xie Changfeng had not left the town's frontiers, Emperor Xuanming remembered the days when he and Ding Guogong were in Daizhou, and his heart softened, so he promoted Wang Zhuang, a former general of the northern frontier army, was appointed as the governor of the Anbei Protectorate.

But what Emperor Xuanming didn't know was that at the same time the appointment was made, Wang Zhuang had a young general named Lin Qing beside him.

The Six Protectorate Mansions were all masters. Qi Yuan got his wish and transferred Xie Changfeng back. Emperor Xuanming didn't want Xie Changfeng to continue to lead the army. He was not a fool these years. Xie Changfeng's respect for the prince was different from others. Emperor Xuanming thought twice , let Xie Changfeng replace Yuan Lai's position, and became the acting Minister of the Ministry of War, the salary is the same as that of the Minister of the Ministry of War ==

The Minister of the Ministry of War is the third rank!Originally, Xie Changfeng was from the third grade, so this can be regarded as a promotion!

What does the Minister of War do?

The Ministry of War has one minister and two ministers, who are in charge of the four departments, which are divided into soldiers, drivers, treasury, and staff. Each of the two ministers is in charge of two. It can be said that the Minister of the Ministry of War is the highest military administrator in the country.

On the bright side, Emperor Xuanming's appointment is completely worthy of Xie Changfeng's contribution to expanding the territory.

But actually?

There are three troops in Beijing, the camp in the suburbs of Beijing is in the hands of Emperor Xuanming, the left and right Jinwu guards have been replaced by Emperor Xuanming's confidantes, the imperial palace guard is still Zhuge Zhen, and the commander of the eastern palace guard is the former Yan Zuowei.

Yan Zuowei had never actually been on the battlefield, so it was almost child's play to ask him to command the [-] East Palace Guards. At least Ye Youwei's four soldiers and horses would not obey Yan Zuowei's orders.

In other words, the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace were still in a half-divided state. If Emperor Xuanming really took action, the crown prince would have no power to protect himself.

Although Xie Changfeng had returned to Beijing, he didn't have any soldiers under his command, he was just a general, so Emperor Xuanming was naturally not afraid.

Qi Yuan was not worried either, he transferred Xie Changfeng back to Beijing to prevent snake spirit disease, not for military power.

In this way, when Xie Changfeng received the order to transfer him back to Beijing, it was already September of the fourth year of Changping.

Xie Changfeng couldn't be more excited, but he couldn't leave for the time being, and he had to wait for Chengyang Hou Yening to come over to take over.

He waited and waited, until autumn came, and Ye Ning came late.

Chengyang Hou Ye Ning is a middle-aged man with a handsome face. He is only four years older than Xie Changfeng. He has a similar experience to Hongyi Hou Wu Peng.

Ye Ning spoke concisely, and there were not many people with him when he came to hand over. He was wearing a gray military uniform, just like ordinary passers-by, unnoticed.

Xie Changfeng recognized it immediately.

Because Ye Ning looks a lot like his younger brother Ye An.

As soon as the two met, there was a slight disagreement in their aura, but both sides deliberately restrained themselves, and the handover was considered smooth.

At the beginning of the handover, Xie Changfeng only talked about the arrangements on the surface, but did not tell Ye Ning about the arrangements in the dark. He took Ye Ning to inspect the entire Annan military camp, and he was about to leave after he said something.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, Ye Ning was saying goodbye to Xie Changfeng politely, at this moment, Jia Yi hurried over from the capital.

"Commander Xie, don't go!!" A watched Xie Changfeng get on his horse and plan to leave, and shouted hastily.

Chen Jiu, who was following Xie Changfeng, looked at Jia Yi who was coming from a distance with bright eyes, and his whole body was bright.

A ignored Chen Jiu, and rushed to Xie Changfeng's side, "Don't rush away, Your Highness has explained that the Marquis of Chengyang is one of his own."

Ye Ning and Xie Changfeng were silent at the same time.

The two looked at Jia Yi and didn't speak.

Panting heavily, A took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xie Changfeng. After reading it, Xie Changfeng handed it to Ye Ning.

Ye Ning opened it and looked at it, and after confirming that it was the news from the prince, his expression eased a lot.

Xie Changfeng dismounted with a dark face, and threw the package to Chen Jiu, "Since it's my own, I'll stay for two more days."

Ye Ning looked at Xie Changfeng puzzled.

Xie Changfeng said as if nothing had happened, "There are still some things to explain to you, such as my arrangement at the border of Nanzhao."

The corner of Ye Ning's mouth twitched, "In that case, shall we go back to the government office?"

"Before I go back to the government office, I will take you to find my concubine."

"……what?"

Xie Changfeng sighed, "From today onwards, I will hand her over to you."

He looked solemn, "You have to use it well, don't break it."

Ye Ning: "..."

Erniang Ruan looked at Ye Ning and smiled without saying a word.
