Two days after the peace treaty was signed, Yuan Xi began to set off to return to the north, as for Xu Du directly gave up, now this former capital of the Son of Heaven is meaningless, because Cao Cao has lost Hangu in a row, Tiger Prison and the two major Xiongguan, it is impossible to establish Xu Du as the capital, and Yuan Xi is not rare a city, and his entire northern Guangjun County is more scary.

I saw more than 100,000 troops walking on the way back, stretching for miles, with no end in sight, and that terrible trend made anyone who saw it frightened.

In the middle of the army, I saw a luxurious carriage decorated with the pattern of the king and pulled by four horses appeared in front of me, which was naturally Yuan Xi's frame.

This is not Yuan Xi's pomp, but from this moment on, a steady stream of pieces like a mountain came over, and he needed to review it personally, so he could only take a carriage.

Of course, he is not the only one in the carriage, and Li Ru is also there.

I saw Yuan Xi sitting on the main seat, gently put down the pen, and rubbed his head with a headache.

"King, do you want to take a rest first?" Li Ru, who was helping Yuan Xi to review it, immediately cared.

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "In the entire north, thirty-one counties, nearly three hundred counties, the replacement of personnel alone is as high as thousands of people, not including taxes, economy, armaments, agriculture and other things, Lone now understands why his father suddenly enjoys it, in fact, it is difficult to fight the world, it is even more difficult to sit firmly in the world, and everything has to be worrying!" ”

"The king is worried, the key is that the center has not been built well, once the construction is successful, many things will not be presented to the king like now," Li Ru comforted.

Yuan Xi nodded, got serious, and said, "Strategist, speaking of the center, I talked to you about things at night a few days ago, have you prepared for it?"

"Liang has already drafted one, and is about to show it to the king," Li Ru took out a piece of music from the side and respectfully handed it over.

After Yuan Xi opened it, he nodded with satisfaction, he did not respect the ancient system, he still followed the general system of Youzhou, the Secret Cabinet, the Government Affairs Hall, and the Military Department Yamen, but the Secretary Pavilion was changed to the Privy Council, and the Government Affairs Hall was changed to Shangshutai, and the Military Department Yamen did not change, as for the job arrangement, it was also according to his wishes, Han Yan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Tian Yu, etc., were all in high positions and controlled the center.

In addition, the position of the left and right ministers and the consul general have also been added, but this is just a fictitious title, and all important personnel arrangements and the transfer of officials must have the consent of his Yuan Xi.

However, after seeing the list of Xiangguo left and right, Yuan Xi frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"King, if there is anything wrong, just say it, the minister will change it immediately" I saw Li Ru immediately say.

"Strategist, Lone seems to have said that the position of Zuo Xiangguo belongs to you!" Yuan Xi said seriously, on the list written by Li Ru, Tian Feng is the left minister, and the right minister is Xun Kan, he holds the position of privy envoy and governs the Privy Council, although the official position is also very noble, but what he means is that Li Ru serves as the right minister and the position of privy envoy.

Li Ru's eyes immediately showed emotion, and said: "King, Lord Xun Kan's status is respected, not only is he older than the minister, but he also wrote a suicide note himself, which plays a vital role in the orthodox status of the king.

"If you are not convinced, let them come to find Gu, as for Xun Kan, Gu will never be treated badly, but it must not be Xiangguo, you can give him another lofty title" Yuan Xi's tone was already very affirmative.

After Li Ru smiled helplessly, he hugged his fists and said, "No!" ”

"Other than that, there's not much of a problem, what about the generals?" Yuan Xi asked again.

"The generals are still being sorted out, and after this war, it is estimated that there are many people who can be canonized as generals," Li Ru replied.

"Okay, as soon as possible, after Lone goes back, at most seven days, the reward will be officially awarded" Yuan Xi said.

"No!"

"By the way, how is Zipei's preparation" Yuan Xi asked with concern, now the personnel in the Youzhou Assassin Mansion, in addition to staying behind, some key points have to be moved to Yecheng, especially Han Yan, who is the future Shangshu Ling of Shangshutai, and it is very important to build the most critical existence of the center.

"I guess four more days will be enough," Li Ru asked.

"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction, then took out another piece of music and sneered: "This is what Zhang Nan just sent, Qingzhou is now ownerless, it's really a mess, and some even openly oppose Lone, what do you think?" ”

"The mantis arm is a car, it's just beyond your own strength," Li Ru said disdainfully.

"The state let stabilize Yuancai in Bingzhou, Uncle Tian guarded Yecheng and controlled Jizhou, Zhongsheng led the troops to Qingzhou, but he charged into battle, transferred troops and sent generals, okay, nothing else is enough, the most important thing in Qingzhou at present is to stabilize people's hearts, and a talented person must be sent to help Zhongsheng" Yuan Xi said.

"King, do you have a candidate?" Li Ru knew that it must not be Pang Tong and Xu Shu, otherwise Yuan Xi would have said it directly.

"There's one, it's really good to try him" Yuan Xi smiled and shouted outside: "Niu'er, let Sima Yi come to see Lonely"

"No!"

After a while, I saw Sima Yi come to the outside of the car and respectfully salute: "Sima Yi greets the king"

"Come up," Yuan Xi shouted.

"No!" After Sima Yi bent down and came in, he saw that Li Ru was also there, and hurriedly said, "Meet the military advisor."

"No need to be polite," Li Ru smiled.

"Zhongda, sit down!" Yuan Xi pointed to the side and said.

"King Xie" Sima Yi immediately knelt down respectfully and sat aside.

"Lone came to you because I was going to give you an errand, I don't know if Zhongda is willing to do it," Yuan Xi said gently.

"I will not give up for the king," Sima Yi hurriedly said.

"Okay, now that Qingzhou is unstable, many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to seek benefits, you will temporarily take the position of a Guanglu doctor, lead 20,000 people over, join the 30,000 troops over there, and give you a month to completely stabilize Qingzhou and let the people return to normal life, can you do it" Yuan Xi smiled.

"The minister must live up to his mission" A trace of excitement flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and he immediately clasped his fists and bowed.

"Okay, when you arrive in Liyang, you can go! As for your family, you don't have to worry at all, Lone will arrange them well," Yuan Xi said.

"Thank you, King," Sima Yi said gratefully.

When Sima Yi got out of the carriage, Yuan Xi looked at Li Ru and smiled: "What does the military advisor think of him?" ”

"This son's face is indeed not very good, but it's okay, as long as the king is still there, he can't afford to turn over a little wind and waves, as for the real talent, it depends on his means to pacify Qingzhou this time" Li Ru said seriously.

"Haha, he can definitely do it, those people in Qingzhou who don't know what to call will not be his opponents" Yuan Xi said confidently.

Li Ru nodded, and said: "King, Yuan Tan is imprisoned, Qingzhou is not to worry about at all, once my army arrives, the king will turn around, as long as the means are appropriate, it will inevitably open the city everywhere and surrender, now in addition to the civil and military, system, government affairs, there is also the most critical secret spy step, the black devil has made countless contributions to the king's foundation, and it is time for them to see the light and be canonized openly."

"Xi has already thought about this matter, and decided to change the name of the Black Devil to the Northern Military Command Department, and give Zhang Nan the authority of a military commander of the third grade, what does the military advisor think?" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"The minister agrees, but what about the rights? Is it still only the king who is qualified to dispose of it?" Li Ru said curiously.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Xi said solemnly: "This point remains the same, if it is not unified today, the military command department is still very important, but it can be slightly restricted, plus a civil and military force above the third grade requires the consent of the lonely to act, in addition, the military commander still has the complete four powers of submersion, arrest, trial, and killing."

After Li Ru nodded, he reminded softly: "The king, the ministers and others may be okay if they know the contribution of the military commanders, but other civil and military forces may have opinions on their terrible rights."

"Haha, don't worry, Lone will always remind Zhang Nan" Yuan Xi smiled slightly, once a black demon, now the military commander is his killing weapon in the dark, and it is also a guarantee for him to stabilize the royal power, Yuan Xi will not move unless it is absolutely necessary.

"No!"

When Yuan Xi was just about to continue the review, he suddenly raised his head and ordered: "By the way, Lone's two brothers, Lone will be handed over to the military commander for temporary placement, and when the north is stable, Lone is arranging them."

Li Ru's pupils shrank and handed it over to the military commander, it seems that the king is a little dissatisfied with their unwilling curse day and night in their cell, the horror of the military commander is only he knows best, and in their hands, how can there be good fruits to eat.
