wait for me to be king

The so-called six Protectorate Houses are Anxi Governorate, Beiting Governorate, Anbei Governorate, Shanyu Governorate, Anton Governorate, and Annan Governorate.

Of these six Protectorate Houses, there are two in the Tianshan area. The south of the Tianshan Mountain belongs to the Anxi Protectorate House, and the south of the Tianshan Mountain belongs to the Beiting Protectorate House. It is a foreign race in Liaodong, and the Anbei Duhufu and Shanyu Duhufu mainly defend the northern Hu people.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Anbei Duhufu and Shanyu Duhufu were combined into one, collectively called Anbei Duhufu, so although there were still six Duhufu, in fact there were only five.

Qi Yuan proposed this reform of the military system. The goal is to unify the various jurisdictions and take away the power of the generals from the generals in a disguised form. Soldiers only recognize tiger charms. Possibility of secession.

However, although the latter is Qi Yuan's ultimate goal, at this stage, for him, using this proposal to transfer Xie Changfeng back is the most important thing.

Emperor Xuanming was not a fool either. As an emperor, he saw the hidden benefits behind this proposal almost at a glance. Emperor Xuanming was overjoyed at first, and then his eyes changed when he looked at the prince.

After two or three years of observation, he has to admit that his eldest son is really suitable for the position of emperor. Whether it is the people's livelihood or the military system, Qi Yuan's perspective and starting point when looking at any issue is based on the emperor, as if He is the real emperor, and himself sitting on the throne is just a puppet.

Emperor Xuanming's mood was very complicated, including anger, fear, disgust, and fear. The crown prince obviously sat under him, worshiped him every day, and spoke respectfully, but he had an illusion that Qi Yuan would be able to Abolished him and immediately ascended the throne as emperor.

"Leave the booklet, I will take a good look at it." Emperor Xuan Ming sighed, he waved Qi Yuan back, a little angry, more depressed.

It has been more than three years since he became emperor, and the few generals guarding the frontier have hardly moved. Except for Lin Jingcheng who surrendered his military power because of his old age and the Lin family, others such as the Marquis of Chengyang guarding Anxi, and the British guarding Yangzhou My lord, the Korean lord guarding Liaodong can't move. This year Hong Yihou and Xie Changfeng took down Lin Yiguo first and then played. Is Emperor Xuanming happy?

Maybe a little, but more sullen.

These two people didn't play at all before the battle, and after the fight, they put the Lord of Linyi Kingdom in front of him, what else could he say?

The feats of opening up the frontiers and lands are right in front of him, and even facing these captives, he has to entertain them well and bestow them with titles and fields due to the reputation of scholars and great scholars.

Most importantly, in the face of these two great heroes in the eyes of the world, he must also issue a decree to praise and give them rewards! !

If the generals guarding the frontier were like these two people and went out suddenly, then what is he?What is his emperor?Mascot? !

Emperor Xuanming dreamed of transferring these generals back to the capital, gathering the military power in their hands, and truly ruling the world.

But these generals are all veterans who have fought and killed with the first emperor for decades, and they have guarded the frontier for long enough that their next generation will start to lead the battle, so that even if these veterans retire, their descendants Have enough prestige to continue to lead the army and master the military power!

Passed down from generation to generation, maybe a hundred years later, the frontier will no longer be the territory of their Chu Dynasty!

Of course Emperor Xuanming couldn't bear it.

He carefully looked at Qi Yuan's memorial. The border of the Chu Dynasty is very large, and there are many places that need to be guarded. Tianshan really needs two generals who can supervise and suppress each other. Liaodong also needs to be watched. Goguryeo is not a good product. Hu people have been invading the frontier year after year, especially not less. As soon as southern Xinjiang is defeated, a rebellion will occur if one is not good. Nanzhao and Tubo also need someone to watch, and the navy cannot ignore it. The island comes and goes around from time to time, and it also needs to be guarded by a strong enough navy...

Moreover, Hou Hongyi's return this time also emphasized that Nanyang needs naval guards, and can even continue to expand the territory of the sea with the help of Ryukyu and other islands...

Emperor Xuanming is so worried, Nima's territory is too big and annoying!What to do, I don't want it anymore...

Look, this is the disadvantage of the general's autonomy!

——You bastards have taken over the place, but I have to find a way to send people to send money to farm, manage, educate, guard and relocate...

Emperor Xuanming suppressed his anger a bit, and said to take his time, take his time... huh?etc!Since the prince proposed the reform of the military system, you might as well leave the matter to him.

Emperor Xuanming's eyes rolled, the reform was done, the generals had no military power, and the target they hated was also the prince, if the reform was not good, he could take this opportunity to beat the prince well! !

Emperor Xuanming finally laughed, he kept the memorial, and then handed it over to the ministers for discussion during the court meeting.

At the Great Court Meeting, the military minister Xungui naturally strongly opposed it, and the integration of the jurisdiction would reduce the number of generals in the town. Wouldn't the competition between them become more intense?This is cannibalism!No, absolutely not! !

The civil servants all agreed, thinking that the prince's move is really a great good, soldiers are also a disaster, and the saints have no choice but to do it. Now that the world is peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing, it is natural to weaken the power of the military officials. It would be better if the number of soldiers can be further reduced !

At the court meeting, the ministers were arguing very loudly. Emperor Xuanming sat on the dragon chair, looked unfathomable, and did not express any opinions. It was not until the end of the court meeting that he said, "Since it was proposed by the crown prince, why not let the crown prince continue?" Do it."

He looked at Qi Yuan, "Write down your thoughts and practices in detail and hand them over, don't be too scruples."

Emperor Xuanming's tone was extremely gentle, Qi Yuan sneered in his heart, he was about to be killed countless times by Xungui's eyes right now, okay?His good father thinks well, let him take the blame?

Forget it, anyway, his purpose is to transfer Xie Changfeng back!

——Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would stir up the situation in the court, just to bring love back to his side?

Hehe, it won't work otherwise!Looking at Xie Changfeng's twisted and hideous handwriting on the last letter, something will really happen if you drag it on! !

Qi Yuan took the job without changing his face, but when he went down to court, he was stopped by someone.

"His Royal Highness."

A gentle smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face immediately, and his voice softened three points, he turned his head, "Second brother, didn't you say you don't need to call him that?"

In his tone, he called out a touch of pampering, "You and my brother, isn't it unfamiliar to call you like that?"

Looking at King Qi in front of him, Qi Yuan seemed to be looking at his lover, his eyes were as gentle as water, and the courtiers next to him looked at the pair of brothers loving each other, each of them was very relieved, and walked away shaking their heads.

Qi Wang Qichen was disgusted by the smile on Qi Yuan's face, he lowered his head a little shyly, and said in a low voice, "Courtesy cannot be broken..."

Qi Yuan covered his heart with one hand, and the expression on his face became extremely sad, as if what Qi Chen said was so sinful, "Second brother, how could you treat me like this..."

If Qi Chen was struck by lightning, he took a step back subconsciously, and forced a smile, "No, brother was joking, hehe, that, I have something to do, so I'm going first..."

After saying that, Qi Chen fled in despair.

Qi Yuan stared blankly at Qi Chen's back, as if he had been abandoned, with an extremely sad expression.

This scene was watched by many ministers who did not leave, and they all lamented that His Highness the Crown Prince has a deep brotherhood, but His Highness King Qi didn't appreciate it, and ran away so unreasonably, it was really disrespectful.

Qi Yuan returned to the East Palace with this devastated expression, and sat in the Chongwen Hall. He rubbed his face and finally recovered his normal expression.

Qi Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and said to Eunuch Cai, "Go to Xuan Lujue and Lu Dai."

Eunuch Cai bowed in salute, turned around and backed out.

Lu Jue and Lu Dai were two brothers in difficult situations. One was about to marry a princess, and the other was marrying the princess of Linchuan.

As a Tanhua, Lu Dai naturally entered the Hanlin Academy after the scientific examination and became an ordinary Hanlin scholar. Qi Yuan immediately made a move and transferred Lu Dai to the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace, where he became a servant in the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace.

Lu Jue was unable to become an official because she wanted to honor the princess, but fortunately, the grand princess mainly followed Emperor Xuanming to observe the country's filial piety, and it would take two years at the earliest to become filial piety. The princess has been married for several years, so the wedding date is set for next autumn.

During this period, Lu Jue could take on some unimportant positions in the court. This time, Qi Yuan didn't need to do anything. Princess Cao Guochang personally entered the palace to talk to Emperor Xuanming, and let Lu Jue enter the Chongwen Museum as a scholar of the Chongwen Museum, editing and sorting out books. .

Emperor Xuanming's heart is unswerving, I'm not dead yet!Why are you getting closer to the prince?

Fortunately, Lu Jue only served for two years, and when the eldest princess got married, he had no choice but to resign and return home. For Princess Cao Guochang's sake, Emperor Xuanming reluctantly agreed.

As for Xie Pingchuan, Qi Yuan secretly ordered the officials to send Xie Pingchuan to a remote place as county magistrate.

If you want to use Xie Pingchuan, you must give him a sufficient growth environment. Qi Yuan is looking forward to Xie Pingchuan's growth.

But the most urgent task at the moment is to ask Lu Dai and Lu Jue to help continue to supplement and perfect the memorial of the military system reform.

Lu Dai and Lu Jue came over soon.

The two already knew what happened at the court meeting, Lu Jue said in a low voice, "Your Highness must be dissatisfied with doing this."

Qi Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, he was not afraid of Xungui's dissatisfaction, and Xie Changfeng's dissatisfaction... Ha ha.

He said flatly, "Someone has to do it, and this matter is not as troublesome as you think."

What if, in the final military system reform, the designated jurisdictions are not the six chief protectors, but the nine chief protectors?

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, then Xungui would be very grateful to him!

The jurisdictions of the Nine Protectors overlap slightly, and there will be a gap between them without his intervention.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan felt complacent, and while asking Lu Dai and Lu Jue to check the information, he spread out the paper and wrote a letter to Xie Changfeng.

- Get ready to go home!
