Cao Anmin was afraid that everyone would not be able to digest it all at once, so he paused for a moment and continued.

"The cabinet is the link between the emperor and the six ministries. It has the power to discuss power, but it has no decision-making power. Its main duty is to advise the emperor. The official documents submitted by the six ministries will be reviewed first and then submitted to the emperor. I plan to set up six members for the time being. There will be a chief assistant, all of whom are called Grand Scholars, ranking first rank."

If everyone in the six departments just now can understand it, but this cabinet, everyone will really take a deep breath.

Although it does not directly manage any of the six departments, it can manage any affairs of the six departments.

Although the chief minister of the cabinet is not as powerful as the prime minister, it is nominally the highest real power among the civil servants of the dynasty.

"Under the six ministries of the cabinet, I plan to set up two more, one is the Yushitai, and the other is the Supervisory Court. The Yushitai has the right to report lawlessness and dereliction of duty by the officials of the DPRK and China, and the Supervisory Council is responsible for all officials in the states and counties. .”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone gasped.

As he spoke, Cao Anmin took out an imperial edict that had already been written from his bosom and handed it to Zhan Zhao who was beside him.

Zhan Zhao opened it, looked around at the people in the hall, and read aloud: "By His Majesty's edict, Liu Ji is canonized as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Bao Zheng is minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Tian Feng is minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shuo is minister of the Ministry of Households, and Xu Guangqi is minister of the Ministry of Industry." Shangshu, Zhang Liao is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

"Your Majesty canonized Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu, Wang Meng, Li Ji, and Guo Jia into the cabinet, and Yao Guangxiao will serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet."

"Your Majesty canonized Wang Yangming as the head of the Supervision Institute. Canonized Sima Yi as Yushitai doctor."

The mindless transfer of personnel has left all the civil and military people confused.

The six ministers are all of the previous level of Sangong Jiuqing. Although they are a little inferior, they can also see Cao Anmin's intentions.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

However, although Wang Yangming and Sima Yi have great talents, they are relatively light in seniority after all. With such great power in their hands, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will drastically rectify the court.

Cao Anmin looked at the shocked civil servants below, and smiled faintly.

Now that the war in the world is undecided, this canonization is also temporarily in operation.Everything has to wait until the world is settled before making a decision.

"For the time being, the canonization of civil servants is like this. The servants of all ministries, after the end of the court meeting, all the ministers can watch outside the palace gate. Our great Qi is both civil and military. Although we have flattened Wei, the princes of the four directions are still there. Wu Chuyue and other countries in the south , the Han Kingdom to the west is our great enemy. Therefore, I plan to set up military regions in various places."

"Military area?" All civil and military personnel responded in low voices.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the authority of the Ministry of War?" Since Zhang Liao served as Minister of the Ministry of War, he naturally had to ask about the authority of this department.

"Good question, wait for me to explain slowly." Said Cao Anmin slowly walked down the steps, and came in front of the ministers.

"Army, I plan to implement a model where the Ministry of War and the military regions cooperate with each other. In wartime, the Ministry of War cooperates with the major military regions to implement troop deployment and replenishment of military supplies. When there is no war, the commanding orders and personnel deployment of the major military regions, Soldiers' training is all managed by the Ministry of War."

All the generals suddenly realized, and their faces were all eager to try.

"I plan to set up five major military regions. The navy is counted as one army. According to the current position, the northern military region, the southern military region, the southeast military region, and the western military region are respectively set up. The highest authority of each military region is the governor.

All the generals also began to think in their minds that the position of the governor must be a general with outstanding abilities.

Since Cao Anmin led the army to conquer the world, the meritorious service of all the generals is in their hearts, and it is most appropriate to judge at this moment.

"The Governor of the Western Military Region, Yuwen Chengdu, the Governor of the Southern Military Region, Chen Qingzhi, the Governor of the Northern Military Region, Li Jing, and the Governor of the Southeast Military Region, Yue Fei."

Li Ji and Zhang Liao are cabinet ministers, and the power is in the hands of the government and the public; they hold the Ministry of War, which is one of the six ministers with real power, so they naturally have nothing to say.

Yuwen Chengdu and Yue Fei also led the army many times and made great military exploits. Only Li Jing and Chen Qingzhi did not show their meritorious service.

In the army, only military exploits can flaunt everything. Without military exploits, how can one be able to secure the position of commander-in-chief.

Before everyone could speak, Chen Qingzhi stood up and answered, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Oh, what's the matter with Aiqing?" Cao Anmin didn't expect Chen Qingzhi to stand up at this time, his heart skipped a beat, but he still kept a strong smile on his face.

"In the first battle against Wei, all the food and salaries that my Daqi had accumulated for many years were exhausted. Moreover, the Central Plains needed to be dealt with after years of wars. It is not appropriate to raise an army at this time. But the land of Nanyang is the gateway of Jingxiang, and the land of Yizhou is the ancestor of Gaozu. The place where great achievements are made. These two places are extremely critical, I implore Your Majesty to immediately send troops to seize the two places."

Since the death of Hong Xiuquan in Yizhou, the kings have been fighting for a year.

Liu Bei originally wanted to lead his army to conquer Xichuan, but the battle between Qi and Wei completely disrupted his deployment.

Now Qi and Han's strike is the right time for them to attack Yizhou.

If Liu Bei is allowed to win Yizhou, it will indeed become a serious problem.

"What you said, is there a good plan?"

"Your Majesty's kindness is unrequited, and I would like to raise an army to capture Nanyang."

Cao Anmin took the case and Chen Qing said: "I have such a loyal minister in Daqi, why worry about the failure of the great cause."

"But the land of Yizhou is also extremely important. I recommend that one person will definitely be able to take down Xichuan."

"who?"

"From Bingzhou, Xue Rengui."

Chapter 830

The land of Yizhou was called the Land of Abundance in ancient times.

Since Liu Yan and his son occupied Xichuan, they blocked the outside roads and turned the land of Yizhou into their own territory. They developed slowly and wanted to achieve great things.

Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, and Hong Xiuquan rebelled again. After several years of conquest, not only did he end up dead, but the land of Yizhou also fell into Hong Xiuquan's hands.

But the good times didn't last long, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought internally, and finally the land of Yizhou became the dominance of the five families.

Divided according to geographical location, in addition to Zhu Wen who occupies the central Chengdu, Shi Dakai in the north, Yang Xiuqing in the east, Li Keyong in the west and Huangchao in the southeast.

Many forces conquered each other, and the former land of abundance was completely wiped out.

Chen Qingzhi's above statement won the approval of Cao Anmin and all the ministers.

If the land of Xichuan is captured, Qi State can go east to attack the Jingzhou land of Chu State by water, and to the north, it can attack Han State on both sides.

The second year of martial arts, February [-]th.

Outside the south gate of Luoyang, Cao Anmin practiced for the [-] troops who conquered the south.

On the surface, all the [-] troops are attacking Nanyang, but in fact, there are still [-] troops in preparation for attacking Shu.

The terrain of Shu is difficult and dangerous, and cavalry is of little use.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, all the recruits this time are the elite of the Qi Kingdom, [-] Beifu Army and [-] Beiwei Army.

Cao Anmin personally appointed Xue Rengui as the governor of the conquest of Shu, Zhang Xun as the deputy governor of the conquest, and led Shi Wansui, He Yuanqing, Yu Juluo, and Ding Yanping to march westward quietly.

It is not easy to enter Yizhou from Sili. The most troublesome thing is to cross the long and narrow Qinling Mountains.

Even though there was a large amount of mountain equipment equipped by the research institute before the army set off, life and death are still unknown for this expedition to Shu.
