Two days after Luo Zhaoyun returned to the court, a great court meeting was held, and all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Beijing attended the court meeting, and the number reached more than 200 people.

Although the appointment and dismissal of many officials were personally approved by Luo Zhaoyun, and before the appointment, he had also entered the palace and met once, but there were too many people, and he was only based on the recommendation of officials, the recommendation of the gate valve, and the nobles and nobles.

Today, there are 200 civil and military officials in the last court, and they stand on the Jinluan Hall according to their official titles and positions, and worship the Son of Heaven.

"All the ministers are flat!"

"Your Majesty Xie—" Everyone thanked them in a hurry, and after getting up, Lin Li stood still.

Luo Zhaoyun first opened his mouth and said: "The news of our army's defeat of the Turks, all the secretaries also know, at present, the entire Chang'an City should be spread, and the northern border trouble will be solved, I have left two troops and horses, all the way out of the border pass, attack the grassland, and counterattack, let the Turks know the strength and strength of our Central Plains people, so that they will not dare to go south to make trouble for decades." The other infantry, led by the veteran General Pei Renji, was stationed on the border, repairing the Great Wall in the Wuyuan area, improving the fortifications, blocking the pass, strengthening the protection of the border garrison, and effectively curbing the steppe cavalry from easily entering the Central Plains. ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately burst into applause.

"Your Majesty is sage, brilliant and great, and entrusted to the great virtue of all people!" The old man and the third prince shouted excitedly.

The rest of the courtiers all chanted: "Your Majesty! ”

Luo Zhaoyun felt the worship of hundreds of people, each courtier, in history more or less famous, it can be said that everyone has a certain amount of luck to become a temple above the people, officials, and himself, directly become the object of worship of these people, the respect of the Ninety-Five, the weight of the community, the will of the heavens, etc., blessed in the body, Luo Zhaoyun has a sense of carrying the mountains.

He suddenly had some feelings in his mind, why the emperor is powerful, many people died young, many people ended up miserable, only a very few people can die and go down in history, because this position is not easy to sit, people who are not talented and virtuous, and have the life of the emperor, sitting in this position, I am afraid that it will cause misfortune and it will be difficult to live a long life.

A country's luck is blessed on a person, it is by no means a child's play, his words, a move, is likely to affect the fate of thousands of people, when cautious, pragmatic, reduce mistakes, cultivate more virtues, the people of the world get benefits, sing praises everywhere, there is a prosperous era, often the emperor of this period, are able to live longer, reign longer, and have a higher reputation in history.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current northwest border troubles and grassland threats have been lifted, north of the Yellow River, the princes are ambushed, only Xiao Liang of Jiangling is left, and Du Fuwei and Fugongtuo are entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is nothing to fear. Next, the focus of our imperial court will be from the war of unification to developing the economy, pacifying the local people, recuperating, enriching the country and the people, and sorting out the government of officials, which is the focus of our work......"

When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard this, they all nodded frequently, feeling that His Majesty's considerations were in line with the general trend, the unification war had come to an end, and how to govern the world after the troubled times, reorganize the devastated mountains and rivers, resume production, and appease the displaced people had become the main task at present.

Especially the civil officials, Hanlin Qingliu, etc., felt that the opportunity had come. When waging war, their role was very weak and marginalized, and they were all military generals with high power, but if they were peaceful today, the status of civilian officials would come up, and military generals would be suspicious of the emperor, and gradually take over military power, and the opportunity to participate in court politics would be greatly reduced.

The three princes and nine secretaries, the six ministries of the three provinces, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, the Yushitai, the Chongwen Pavilion and other officials were all a little excited in their hearts, and they all felt that the time had come for them to be reused.

In fact, this is also the past dynasties after the founding of the country, the necessary stage to go through, to fight the world by force, but to govern the country and the country, but the need for civil servants, in the history of the Middle Ages, the most prosperous Tang and Song dynasties, a did not inhibit the feudal town festival degree, resulting in the collapse of the empire, there was a chaos of five dynasties and ten countries, an excessive suppression of military generals, so that the Great Song Dynasty had no strong army, repeatedly bullied by the Fanbang, twice was destroyed, died in the Rong Dihu tribe.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun intends to absorb the advantages of the Tang and Song dynasties, but also to avoid the unfavorable aspects, especially in the Sui Dynasty when the gate valve system has not been completely eradicated, it is still necessary to carry out more imperial examinations, select poor talents, vigorously use Wenchen, create cultural prosperity, and break the ideological tumor of 'soldiers are masters' and 'emperors take turns' since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and at the same time, we must not excessively suppress military generals, and national defense construction is equally important.

The privy envoy Chen Qi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to quell the rebellion next from Xiao Liang Xiaoguo, Du Fuwei and other rebels in the Jiangnan area. ”

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Chen Qi was regarded as the top official in charge of military power in the imperial court, and he heard that His Majesty did not seem to attach much importance to the Pingnan War, so he was a little worried, and stood up to ask questions.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "I already have an idea, Hou Junji led 50,000 troops into Hexi, returned to Beijing in a few days, and went south with 20,000 Turkic knights to reinforce Li Jing's army and deal with the Liang State." At the same time, Xu Shiji's Pingtang soldiers and horses were mobilized to the south, repaired and supplemented by Luoyang, and then put into the Jiangnan battle. ”

At present, these two soldiers and horses are the regular army that the imperial court can mobilize, although there are also government soldiers and garrison soldiers in various places, all of them are stationed in the local Chengyi, the number is small, there is not enough financial resources and grain and grass, recruiting troops and horses, and the world is about to be decided, the resumption of production is the most important, and the imperial court is no longer recruiting troops on a large scale in various places.

Chen Qi nodded, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, Hou Junji's 50,000 soldiers and horses carry limited grain and grass, plus 20,000 Turks, all of whom are engaged in fighting in Jiangling, so the grain and grass in the Jiangling area is no longer enough, Li Jing sent people to urge the follow-up grain and grass several times, this matter, it is urgent for the military department and the household department to discuss and make decisions, and issue military salaries, grain and grass as soon as possible, and stabilize the needs of the front line." ”

Of course, Luo Zhaoyun also understood this truth, turned his head and asked Xiang Tongping Zhangshi and Gao Shilian, the head of the household department, and asked: "Why hasn't the grain and grass of the army on the Jiangling front been sent out for a long time?" ”

Gao Shilian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is decided according to priority, because the war was concentrated in the northwest a few days ago, so a large amount of grain and grass was given priority to the front line of Sanchuan's anti-Turkic resistance, ensuring that the army led by His Majesty can have sufficient food and salary. Secondly, several treasury grain and grass near Chang'an City have been stretched thin, because before Li Tang withdrew, he was constantly transporting materials to Taiyuan, Hedong, and in the end, those that could not be transported were burned, and the treasury grain and grass only had some tax revenue last autumn, but in the past few years, there has been either a big chaos or a drought, the harvest has decreased, and the income cannot make ends meet. ”

"The army in the northwest border needs grain and grass, His Majesty needs grain and grass for war, and he also needs grain and grass for the south of the country, and there is not much grain in the few granaries near Chang'an City, so there must be a certain share set aside to ensure the rations of hundreds of thousands of households in Chang'an City, so there is not much grain and grass that can be squeezed out and sent to the battlefield in Jiangling."
