Chapter 379: The first court meeting of the new year, the crown prince is still the regent

"Daxia has sufficient combat power and is not short of brave generals. The region is stable, and the four major camps in the capital have many generals in reserve. It is indeed difficult for him to stand out. It will take a lot of patience."

"And your second brother, a son of a military commander, choosing to take the path of imperial examination to enter the government is really difficult for him."

"I heard that he is quite talented and has been aiming to be good at both literature and martial arts since he was young. He has not been a playboy who wastes his time. In this respect, he is much better than many children of the rich and powerful."

"Tang'er, let's not talk about your father and uncle, do you have any plans for your eldest and second brothers?"

Xiao Beichen didn't ask about her other brothers, and sent them all to the Imperial Guard Camp to study Taoism. The arrangement was obvious.

While you are still young, you are willing to learn Taoism and have the passion to endure hardships. If you really learn it, you can do a lot of things to assist the Qinglong Guards, and it will also solve the way out for those young people.

Now there is Jiang Yanting, who has been in the South Camp for many years but is still a captain, and Jiang Yanxuan, who can neither enter the Ministry of War nor go to the military camp.

Yuntang hesitated for a moment before looking at Xiao Beichen, his face rarely showing a serious look.

"Third Senior Brother, I gave them a few marrow cleansing pills and two volumes of exercises a year ago. Although they are not Taoist techniques, they can improve their martial arts and gather spiritual energy if they can learn them."

Lingyuan is a Taoist energy that transcends inner strength.

Spiritual essence and Taoist rhyme are the result of daily practice of Taoist practitioners.

The eldest and second elder brothers did not practice Taoism and did not know any Taoist techniques, but they had practiced martial arts since childhood. If they could cultivate spiritual energy on top of their internal strength, they would also have the opportunity to enter Taoism through martial arts.

When Yuntang mentioned this, Xiao Beichen looked at her expectantly.

"The fact that Yong'an Hou was able to guard the northern border back then shows that he was strong enough to support the family, but someone was reluctant to let him suffer and be separated from his family, so he was transferred back to the capital."

"It's not bad to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of War now, at most you can be the minister in the future."

"And my second uncle... Based on my observations of him over the many times I've spent time with him, and last night when he defended me and even had an unpleasant experience with the old lady, there is nothing wrong with his mental state and character."

"I want him to go to the southwest in the second half of the year to assist the commander-in-chief and gain some experience in local defense. When he returns to Beijing to report on his work in the future, he will have a chance to be promoted."

Staying in the camp in the capital city will help you get promoted, and you need to accumulate experience step by step.

And since she wants to develop people's livelihood in the southwest area later, there will be no problem in arranging some of her own manpower to go there.

"If my second brother can pass the imperial examination, I will let him go to the southwest to be a city guard. In the future, he will work with me in farming and business to improve the lives of the people."

"I don't bother with those trivial matters. My second brother is careful and thoughtful, so he is suitable."

She arranged for her second brother to be her deputy, and transferred her second uncle to mediate the relationship between the military and the government, which would also be beneficial for her to cooperate with her in developing people's livelihood.

After the second uncle was transferred out of the South Camp, the eldest brother was the only one left in the military camp from the Yong'an Marquisate, and it became much easier for the eldest brother to climb up.

Otherwise, if the uncle and nephew were in the South Camp together, they would easily hinder each other.

Yuntang did not mention the employment in other places. She only cared about her own responsibilities and always kept it in mind, thinking about future development issues.

Xiao Beichen smiled.

"Okay, Third Senior Brother, remember this for you. After the Luotian Grand Ceremony, we will transfer your second uncle out first, and we will wait until the results of your eldest brother's year-end inspection come out before we do anything else."

As for my second brother... he chose to take the imperial examination, so of course he followed the rules of the examination. This was also a path he made based on his own abilities, so it wasn't an arrangement.

As for the third uncle Jiang Mingwei? He also made it through the imperial examination, but his ability was much worse than his two brothers. He was content with the status quo of having an idle position in the Ministry of Rites.

Yuntang did not mention how to arrange things for her third uncle. After all, her second uncle's future had already been determined, and there were also arrangements for the eldest and second brothers in the future. If she arranged everything, it would only make her seem too greedy.

As long as she asked, it wouldn't be a big deal for the third senior brother, but she couldn't.

Xiao Beichen didn't ask Jiang Mingwei, but he had already made arrangements, promoting him directly from the sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites to the fifth-rank doctor.

A high rank, but only a minor official of the fifth rank, not even qualified to attend court, so it was not a promotion at all.

If Jiang Mingwei was not so hopeless, he should seize this opportunity for promotion and perform well. He might even be promoted to vice minister in the future.

But forget about the position of Shangshu. He is over 30 years old and still only a sixth-rank official. He has not received any military experience. It seems that he will be just like that in terms of both civil and military skills.

After breakfast, Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo each sat at a place and began to draw talismans. Xiao Beichen continued to study the complete collection of talismans. The room became quiet and focused.

After that, Eunuch Wang came over, and Xiao Beichen went to the imperial study to deal with some things.

The court session started on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and Xiao Che went to court early in the morning.

At the first court meeting of the new year, the crown prince was still the regent.

No one in the court dared to look down on him anymore, not even daring to even have any complaints in their hearts.

The court officials looked at the prince sitting on the dragon throne with a serious face and an imposing manner. Although he was not even nineteen years old, his imperial demeanor was no less than that of his father.

Those officials who originally wanted to support the King of Qi to ascend the throne had to give up their thoughts and secretly thanked themselves for not causing any trouble to seize the throne, otherwise...

I'm afraid the end result will be that not even enough heads of their entire family will be chopped off.

The first court meeting of the new year did not discuss new issues, but instead cleaned up and resolved unfinished issues from the previous year.

After that, there is the spring farming that was put on the agenda before the New Year, as well as the resettlement of the northern border after the snowstorm and the resettlement of the western border after the war.

These constitutional issues may not necessarily be resolved beautifully in a single court meeting, but they are a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Crown Prince Xiao Che said that if no reasonable solutions were found to these issues at the next court meeting, the court officials responsible would have their three-month salary deducted, and the other court officials would have their one-month salary deducted.

The salary was deducted right after the New Year... All the civil and military officials in the court groaned in their hearts and stared at the Ministry of Revenue.

General Jingbei Gu Chengfeng, who had just returned to Beijing, also attended the court today. However, while other ministers had to perform the kneeling ceremony, Gu Chengfeng only performed the salute.

He is a Taoist priest! The emperor's junior fellow apprentice!

Xiao Che even stood up and bowed to him in return, almost taking a seat.

This unequal treatment once again made all the civil and military officials in the court shed tears of bitterness in their hearts.

Regarding the resettlement issues in the northern and western territories, Gu Chengfeng had already discussed a plan with Xiao Beichen, and Xiao Beichen also explained the implementation of the plan in detail with Yuntang.

Now that it has been brought to the court, of course these matters cannot be limited to the fellow disciples of Qingfeng Temple. This is a national affair!

Even with the money from Xiao Beichen's private treasury, Yuntang's convenient flying boat, and Gu Chengfeng's farming Taoist's food storage and personal purchase of food were also needed.

This matter must also be notified to all officials in the court, which money will come from the Ministry of Revenue, which money the emperor will fill with his own private treasury, and which money will be shared by the Princess Protector of the Country.

If Xiao Beichen wants to establish Yuntang's authority, the reputation of the Princess Protector of the Nation must be established first.

These were all handled by Crown Prince Xiao Che in court, while Xiao Beichen went to the imperial study to handle other matters.
