Although the night was late, the government hall was brightly lit, and many officials from Xia Yuanji and below were still busy with a proclamation on the changes in the official system and the appointment and dismissal of officials.

Xia Yuanji looked at the booklet in his hand, and the smile disappeared from his face, as long as these things that have been planned in the past few days are made public tomorrow, the power of the political hall will be strengthened like never before. Of course, this is only the first step in a big plan, and new policies will be introduced every month and every year. Once all the plans are steadily implemented, the scattered military, political, and financial powers in the world will all be collected into the hands of the political affairs hall.

From then on, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the allocation of finance and taxes, none of which could be separated from the political hall, and these were all owned by the Son of Heaven in the past. In fact, it's no wonder, look at what kind of virtue the Son of Heaven is now? Xia Yuanji just went to Xingqing Palace yesterday to meet the Son of Heaven, and all he saw was a sick and weak old man who was salivating, stammering, and even had trouble getting up. The Son of Heaven has just reached the year of the Mandate of Heaven this year, and he looks as old as a flower armor.

There is also the newly established candidate for the crown prince, although Li Xi, the king of Huaiyang, seems to be a person with some ability, but after all, he is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, even if he wants to turn over any storms, when he reaches adulthood in three or five years, the overall situation of the world has long been decided, and there is no chance for a long time.

Therefore, Xia Yuanji knows where the power in his hands comes from now, and naturally knows how to repay the favor.

"Xianggong, the book for Miao Jinqing's promotion has been prepared, and only the seal ...... is left."

Speaking of using the seal, Xia Yuanji was a little irritable, this jade seal is not in the political hall, but in the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace, if you want to add it, you must send the book to Xingqing Palace, although it is a passing scene in his opinion, but according to the requirements of Qin Jin, it must not be omitted.

To Xia Yuanji's luck, Doctor Qin did not relent, and returned the jade seal to Li Heng, the son of heaven, who was responsible for taking care of the jade seal, just a little-known eunuch in the Xingqing Palace in the past.

"Governor Shuofang, Longyou Twenty-one County, this head sounds fresh, but how can you think that it is more powerful than the Jiedu envoy?"

There are some things that Xia Yuanji is inconvenient to say clearly, Pei Jing, a descendant of the Shenwu Army, will be sent to Shuofang to command the troops with the envoy of the Guan Army, so as to deal with the southern invasion of the Hui people in the grassland rebellion at any time, which is well deserved, and it integrates all kinds of powers. However, Miao Jinqing went to Lingwu as the governor of Shuofang and the twenty-first county of Longyou, which is definitely the right to control Pei Jing, who is only an envoy to watch the army, in the newly drafted system.

In this way, the problem is a little delicate, in the final analysis, the title of Miao Jinqing, the governor, has a faint meaning of supervising the army. However, compared with the supervising army, the governor of the two major festival envoys, this power seems to be a little boundless.

The faint Xia Yuanji was a little envious of Miao Jinqing, I don't know what virtue this ancestor has accumulated, or he went out and stepped on shit, and he actually handed over such good luck. In addition to Miao Jinqing, there is also Feng Yijun Taishou Du Fu, and the places where he is appointed governor are even more important, Henan and Hedong, which are comparable to half of the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty.

After careful inspection, Xia Yuanji meticulously copied the book again, and then handed it to Shulingshi, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Go, send Xingqing Palace, you must return to the political hall before dawn!"

According to his requirements, the office of the government hall is not interrupted by some people, all the responsible officials are divided into shifts, and even the prime minister must have a person on duty at any time.

Of course, the current political hall already has Fifth Qi and Wei Jiansu. Wei Jiansu is the third phase, more low-key than ever, and the fifth Qi is the opposite, with strong blood, full of ambition, always having the idea of showing his strength, and handling official affairs is seven or eight points more efficient than Xia Yuanji.

After only a month of rectification, the original people were superficial, and the atmosphere of the imperial court vying for power and profit was also renewed, and many government affairs that had been backlogged for two or three years were turned upside down, and one by one they were resolved.

On the third pole of the day, Miao Jinqing came to the political hall full of energy, and today he is going to receive the book, which is the official appointment of the imperial court to him. In Xia Yuanji's eyes of both envy and extreme, he took the book with both hands in a scarlet robe, and inspected Shuofang and Longyou Twenty-one Counties, this envoy had never heard of it, but he could guess the scope of his authority just by literally. After carefully reading the book, Miao Jinqing was shocked again.

Shuo Fang, Longyou of the two major festival envoys must be under his control, the most powerful thing is that he, as the governor of the two major places, already has the right to open the government and build teeth, and being able to open the government and build teeth means having tooth soldiers. In other words, the governor is not only exercising the duty of supervision, but also the duty of moderation and promotion.

In an instant, he suddenly felt that the book he was holding in his hands had become heavy, and it was a little difficult to bear.

"Miao Shilang, ah no, it's time to call the governor in the future, don't let down Doctor Qin's trust and trust?"

"That's natural, Miao Ding Dong is dedicated to serving the country!"

He can't say anything about the loyalty of the king, this is a very embarrassing question after all, and everyone in the officialdom also has a tacit understanding to avoid talking about this issue. Just bury your head in things and ignore those false names. After all, under the leadership of Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army, the Tang Dynasty burst out of hope again, and there was great hope of getting out of the previous predicament, and it may not be far off to restore the former prosperous situation.

If An Lushan had just rebelled for two years, the ministers of the government and the opposition would never have compromised with this status quo, after all, they were still immersed in the vain prosperity and could not extricate themselves. However, since the accession of the Son of Heaven to the throne, the country's situation has deteriorated, and finally the imperial capital Chang'an also fell into the hands of Fanhu, especially the days when Chang'an fell into the hands of Fanhu, which brought too many unbearable memories to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is precisely because of these memories that the civil and military officials have put aside those unrealistic and vain obsessions, and proceeded from the most practical place, whoever can take the Tang Dynasty out of the predicament and revive the former national prestige can get the supreme authority.

Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army appeared at the right time, which made them see hope again, and after Qin Jin's planning and rectification, the political affairs hall took on a new look with an unprecedented appearance.

"According to the new system, the Governor's Tooth Soldiers can be transferred from the Shenwu Army, based on 5,000 people, and can be expanded by another 5,000 when they arrive in the local area. ”

If the governor is not sick, he is just a supervising army, and once he has soldiers, he has the confidence to give command to the two major sections under his jurisdiction. Miao Jinqing didn't dare to show smugness or ambition for a moment in front of Xia Yuanji, the old fox, and only kept humbly thanking him.

Until he returned home after noon, Miao Jinqing's mood was still in extreme excitement, and after carefully studying the new chapter of restructuring that he had asked for from Xia Yuanji, he suddenly found that his messenger of the governor Shuofang and Longyou Grain Road was actually more weighted than he imagined.

The financial power that originally belonged to the Jiedu envoy was completely vested in the governor, in other words, the Jiedu envoy would no longer serve as the ambassador of the dethroned from now on. For a long time, Miao Jinqing pondered, and what surprised him more than the change in the official system was not Qin Jin's precaution against those former cronies, but the foresight in it, or the ambition to see the fire.

At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even the Li Tang royal family, including the dead Emperor Taishang, no one is reflecting on the root cause of An Lushan's rebellion. Obviously, Qin Jin was thinking about it, although reforming the official system was not to stifle the root of the rebellion in local feudal towns, but this method of mutual checks and balances in the local area could achieve initial results in a short period of time. Taking 10,000 steps back will at least not make the situation worse.

Think about those Jiedu envoys outside Tongguan who do not listen to the tone of the imperial court, if a few governors are promoted from among them on the spot, they will immediately be beaten to the head and bloodied, and both sides will be defeated, and when the time comes, the imperial court will take advantage of the momentum to break through each other, and a crisis that may break out at any time will not be lifted as lightly? Once the internal constraints are completely lifted, it will be a matter of time before Shi Siming, who is entrenched in Hebei and continues to survive, will be punished.

Thinking of these, Miao Jinqing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, if the world returned to stability, and with another twenty or thirty years, there was great hope to restore the prosperity of the past, and if he could see the prosperity again in his lifetime, he would die without regrets.

……

The snow fluttered like goose feathers, and a thin middle-aged man was crawling in the snow, his clothes were in tatters, and his body was shivering, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear. The middle-aged man looked up, and there was not a single beard on his pale face.

Not far away, only the horse's hooves could be heard, and the rider seemed to be slowly searching for something. Suddenly, the middle-aged man quickly buried his head in the snow pit, and heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer, and his body trembled more and more.

"Li Fuguo, don't hide, come out honestly, and leave you a little bit of the dignity of a general!"

The middle-aged man was the general Li Fuguo, who broke out of the siege with more than a thousand remnants of troops in Yanzhou, all the way to the east, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Hui rebels. But in this place where birds don't, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, and after the few remaining military rations are exhausted, the few remaining remnants of the soldiers around them have fled one after another. After that, he met the Shenwu army that rushed over, and the army's heart was completely collapsed, everyone knew that Li Fuguo's general trend had gone, and they were afraid of being liquidated by the Shenwu army, and finally in a dark and windy night, this once beautiful and powerful general and eunuch was ruthlessly abandoned!
