The next day, August 26th, the morning pilgrimage.

Xue Ning, the governor of the Left Army's Governor's Mansion, yawned and walked into the Fengtian Palace. Although he was resting yesterday, he was busier than usual, first of all, he was concerned about the results of the township examination of his second son Xiyang, and immediately told him that he had scheduled a wedding next month, and then all the things that were quietly being prepared were openly prepared, and he was very busy. He didn't fall asleep until he was near.

Therefore, Xue Ning found a position where Yun Xi couldn't see his eyes directly, squinted his eyes and wanted to rest for a while, and there were countless things waiting for him to approve in the Imperial Governor's Mansion later, but there was no time to rest like this. Anyway, I won't say anything important in the morning.

After a while, Xue Ning heard the very loud words "retreat from the dynasty" and knew that the early dynasty was over, and when he opened his eyes that were slightly cloudy due to lack of rest, he was about to leave the Fengtian Temple with the rest of the people.

But as soon as he walked out of here and breathed in the refreshing air, he suddenly heard a voice from a person next to him: "Commander Xue." ”

Xue Ning hurriedly wanted to look at him, and saw a very attractive face, looking at him with a smile two feet away from him.

Xue Ning immediately said, "Princess." ”

Wang Xi nodded and said, "Commander Xue, Your Majesty has something to summon, Commander Xue should come with the minions." ”

"Princess, please lead the way." Xue Ning said respectfully. Even if his daughter is the queen and his grandson is the crown prince, he doesn't want to offend the most favored eunuch in front of the emperor, anyway, it's just a matter of paying more attention to what he says, and there is no need to offend people for this; And Wang Xi didn't want to offend the Xue family, the Chang family, the Lan family, and the Xu family, who had a close relationship with the royal family, and spoke very respectfully, so they were fine.

After a while, they walked to the Qianqing Palace. After Xue Ning entered, he glanced around, and when he saw that Li Jian and the others were there, he immediately understood what Yun Xi was going to say today.

Sure enough, Yun Xi walked into the house and waited for them to salute, and immediately said, "I called you over today to decide on the candidates for this expedition. ”

As early as after the decision to go on the expedition, several governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies suggested to Yun Xi that he should decide on the commander and chief general of this war, but Yun Xi postponed it because it was difficult to make a decision. Fortunately, at that time, he had just begun to handle things related to the expedition, and there were Li Jinglong, Yunnan and Mu Sheng in Guangxi, and the two of them were responsible for the placement of the troops who came to Guangxi and Yunnan, and it would not affect anything if there was no commander.

But as more and more troops came to the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, everyone became more and more concerned about this matter, even if Yun Xi did not take the initiative to announce it, they would again ask Yun Xi to decide on the commander and the main general.

"I'm not going to do it this time." Yun Xi first gave them a reassurance, and then continued: "I have decided to take Huining Hou Zhang Wen as the commander, hang the rank of general of Zhengyi, and add the chief military officer. With Li Jian, the concubine, and Zhu Zanyi, the king of Jingjiang, as the deputy marshal, Lan Zhen, the Duke of Liang, as the general of the former army, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, as the general of the Central Army, Mu Sheng, the Marquis of Xiping, as the general of the Right Army, Sun Ke, the Marquis of Quanning, as the general of the rear army, He Rong, the Marquis of Palemgang, as the general of the Left Army, and Zheng Guogong was often promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Grain and Grass Officer, and all of them were given the rank of deputy generals, and they went to Annam. ”

Li Jinglong and Mu Sheng are the commanders of Guangxi, and the other is the general who guards Yunnan, because Li Jinglong has not yet fought and everyone does not know his fighting skills, so the two of them have a place to belong to. Even Yun Xi couldn't help but arrange a position for Li Jinglong, so he was arranged to be the deputy general of the Chinese army who acted with the commander. Of course, in his previous life, he only knew a general Yunxi about the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, and Mu Sheng's skills in fighting were also worth worrying about, so it was better to let Mu Ang lead the troops, so the right army was a little dangerous.

The other people present did not know about Li Jinglong and Mu Sheng's 'excellent records' in history, so they did not care about this. Just when the generals who were appointed by Yunxi to the position stood up to thank them, everyone immediately realized one thing: the generals who went on this expedition, except for the commander Zhang Wen, were all military generals of the Mesozoic Era.

Although it is time to take over: the generals of Zhang Wen's generation are already in their sixties, and the young men who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight for their lives or revenge at the age of seventeen or eighteen are already dying, although there are doctors in the family who are not inferior to the imperial doctor, but they may die one day.

But such an abruptness for them not to go to the battlefield when there is a big battle in the imperial court still makes people feel a little lost.

Yun Xi didn't care about their thoughts, and continued: "I appointed a few generals a few days ago, and there are still a few short, and I have all made up for them today: Guo Zhen, the assistant official of Yiqiu、...... As a general, he has jurisdiction over each guard. As for the rest of the generals, they can report to me after discussion. ”

"Since Guo Zhen wants to be a general, he will be removed from his post as an autumn auxiliary officer, and Li Xuhu, the governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, will be appointed as the autumn auxiliary officer."

"Similarly, Li Jian's position as governor was also removed, and Geng Xuan was appointed as governor."

The generals bowed and agreed.

Yun Xi instructed them a few more things, and arranged all the things for the expedition to Annam.

The generals thought that Yun Xi had nothing to order, and was about to ask for resignation, when they suddenly heard Yun Xi say again: "Everyone loves Qing and slow, I still have one more thing, although it has nothing to do with the conquest of Annam, but there is still some relationship, so I take advantage of this time to tell you: I am going to inspect the Liangguang area." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment: at this time, when you went to the Liangguang area, you still said that it had nothing to do with the conquest of Annam? And didn't Your Majesty just say that you won't go to the expedition? Why do you have to go over?

Seeing the puzzled faces in front of him, Yun Xi continued: "You Aiqing don't have to worry, I really didn't go to the Imperial Expedition in person. I just want to take advantage of this time to go to the Liangguang area to inspect and see how the local people are doing. ”

"Your Majesty, without special circumstances, Your Majesty is not allowed to leave Beijing without authorization! Other places are not as good as the capital, and the people in the Liangguang area have always been complicated, so it is not a good thing for His Majesty to go rashly. Li Jian said immediately.

Chang Sheng and others also advised one after another, but they were unwilling to let Yun Xi go to Liangguang.

Yun Xi coughed and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more." ”

These generals were reluctant to persuade the emperor too much to make them hate them, and when they heard Yun Xi say again in a firm tone that they had made a decision, they could only stand up and stop admonishing, and accepted the fact that the emperor was about to go to Liangguang.

Yun Xi really didn't have anything to say to them this time, and waved them to bow down.

At noon, Yun Xi, who had been in the front hall of the Qianqing Palace for a while, stood up, said a few words to the auxiliary officer, and got up to return to Kunning Palace.

When Xi Yao saw him, he didn't care about the suspicion of interfering in the harem after saluting, and immediately asked: "Husband, did you tell the ministers of the previous dynasty that you were going to inspect the Liangguang area?" What do the ministers say? ”

"The husband and the generals said that they were going to inspect the Liangguang area, and after they advised me, they saw that I had not changed my mind, so they did not advise me anymore." Yun Xi said.

"Husband, a military general is a military general, different from a civilian official. Although there is a disease in Siem Reap in the southwest, there is no need for the emperor to solve the problem in person, so the civil officials will definitely persuade the husband not to go to Liangguang to inspect. The husband also thought about it again, and left the local affairs to the magistrate. If His Majesty is not at ease with them, it is okay to send Qin Song and other trusted ministers out to inspect. ”

"Besides, Min'er is the most clingy husband, and after leaving the capital for so long, she will definitely miss her husband. The husband can't go to Liangguang and take her with him. The weather in the Liangguang area is very different from that in Beijing, and children from other places are easily infected when they first arrive in Guangdong. Xi Yao said.

Yesterday, Yun Xi had already told her that he was going to inspect the Liangguang area. Of course, Xi Yao strongly objected, but she didn't dare to persuade too much, so she could only let Yun Xi not officially announce that the civil and military officials would see their reactions, and when she heard the reactions of the generals at this time, she could only advise herself again.

Yoon-hee hesitated a little when she heard her mention Min-'er. His favorite child is his eldest daughter, and he is also reluctant to be separated from her. But he really wanted to go to Guangdong.

"Xi Yao," Yun Xi sat down and said to her, "Don't pay attention to the words of the foreign court; As for Min'er's matter, her husband personally told her that it was a big deal to write her a letter every day. ”

"Everything will be arranged before the husband leaves. Your father stayed in the capital, and Chang Sen also stayed in the capital, supervising the country with Wenyuan, and you exercised the right to supervise the country on his behalf. ”

"All the government affairs, neither important nor urgent matters let the auxiliary officer approve and issue them on his own, and you can supervise and seal them; Important but not urgent matters are sent to Liangguang and are personally handled by the husband; In the name of Wenyuan, you can summon the six Shangshu, the five military governors, the five left governors, the four auxiliary officials, the Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Xingshan, and the chief or adjutant of the yamen related to this matter, and discuss the handling of the matter in front of the emperor. ”

"If there is a commotion in the territory of the capital, you will directly send an order to Yin Huanghuai of Ying Tianfu and the seven commanders of the upper guards who stayed in the capital, and let them send troops to pacify them."

"If it ......"

……

Yun Xi explained to Xi Yao in detail what he would do if he was not in the capital. Although he said it once yesterday, he repeats it again today.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to summon Chen Xingshan?" Xi Yao listened to it for the second time today and asked the question that was not spoken yesterday.

"Xi Yao, Chen Xingshan's position is very important, and I can't understand you in a sentence or two, just remember that there is an urgent matter to call him." Yun Xi said.

Xi Yao didn't ask again, just nodded.

After that, it was time for Xi Yao to tell Yun Xi. Although it will take a few days for Yun Xi to really set off, it does not prevent Xi Yao from telling him now. Although Yun Xi was a little impatient, he knew that this was Xi Yao's kindness, so he could only sit in his seat and listen.

Xi Yao finally said: "Husband, this time the husband is not a royal expedition, but a patrol, take Xiyi with her, and let her take care of her husband." ”

Yun Xi hesitated a little, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, the husband will take Xiyi with him." ”
