After the dinner was over, Yuan Xi convened Tian Feng, Li Ru, Xun Kan, Han Yan, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu in the Wuying Palace, which was once the core of the Great General's Mansion.

"How are they?" Yuan Xi asked.

"The king, they were very moved, especially the words of the previous king, which made them cry bitterly, and bluntly said that they were willing to give everything for the will of the former king," Tian Feng immediately replied.

"Haha, how true do you think it is?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile, although he had already seen through it with the true dragon eye, he still planned to ask himself the opinions of these henchmen.

"The minister thinks it is credible, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the king is the destiny of heaven and cannot be shaken, let alone them," Tian Feng said.

"Chen also feels that after everything that happened during this time, not only them, but many people who are locked up in prison may be in their hearts, as long as they give a little sweetness, they will definitely succeed" Li Ru smiled.

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Then you think it can be reactivated."

"The king, now many of the ministers in the center are old ministers in Youzhou, although it is a matter of course, if only the talents of one place are reused, there will definitely be friction, although the three adults have been hostile to the king, but that is the master, you can forgive, if they can also enter the center, not only can greatly solve the pressure of the center, but also better balance the power system of the four northern continents, showing the king's heart of oneness" Han Yan hugged his fist.

"Even if Shang Shuling said, now the king is no longer the lord of Youzhou, but the entire north, and he is the king of Yan State" Xun Kan immediately agreed.

"Haha, Shiyuan, Yuanzhi, what do you think?" Yuan Xi turned his head and asked with a smile, although Xu Shu and Pang Tong are also a number of important ministers, but no matter when, they pay attention to a seat order, seniority, the two of them are too young, after all, the qualifications are still the shallower, such an important minister's meeting, if you speak first, you will immediately get a disrespectful name.

"Your Majesty, what the adults said is very true, and they have no opinion," Pang Tong said with a smile.

"Shu too! Those three lords, with a high status and great fame in the north, once activated, can not only stabilize the situation more quickly and determine the orthodox status of the king, but also show the benevolence of the king," Xu Shu supported.

"Okay, then let's discuss what position to give!" Seeing that everyone agreed, Yuan Xi smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is best not to give him a real position at present, and to bring it with a false title, so that it can appease people's hearts, and second, it can also make the ministers who return to obedience early have some balance in their hearts," Tian Feng suggested.

"False title" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and said: "Then canonize them as counselors, their status and treatment are comparable to the heads of various departments under the Shangshu Order, they have the right to walk in the center and participate in the government affairs, but they are not responsible for the management of real power, what do you think?" ”

"The king is wise" The ministers immediately responded, admonishing the doctor, although his status is high, but he does not have any real power.

"Okay, I'll give the order tomorrow, let them go home and reunite with their families first, and then Uncle Tian, you talk to them first, and you are all alone to see them in person," Yuan Xi ordered.

"No!" Tian Feng responded.

"There is another matter, have Xu You's family members been arrested?" A cold light suddenly flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes.

"All of them were arrested and all locked up in prison," Tian Feng replied.

"Very good, Xu Yu betrayed the first king, which led to the defeat of Guandu, the first king was resentful, and the order went down, exterminated his three clans, and informed the world" Yuan Xi coldly announced, since ancient times, there are only courtiers who make mistakes, and kings who have not made mistakes, no matter what Yuan Shao does, Yuan Xi successfully defeated Cao Cao and ascended the throne, so he must prove his father and re-establish the majesty of his Yuan family.

History belongs to the victors, what is fair and selfless, what the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is all bullshit here in Yuan Xi, and the dignity of the emperor cannot be violated.

The ministers were in their hearts, and they responded in unison: "No! ”

This matter is related to the king's filial piety to the previous king, as well as the reputation of the former king, how dare they say more, the king is angry, and the blood is flowing like a river, whether you are a central minister or a general of the court, it is unstoppable.

After finishing the order, Yuan Xi glanced at the sky outside and said with a smile: "It's not too early, except for Shi Yuan, let's go back and have a good rest!" If there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow."

"No!" After everyone left, Yuan Xi looked at Pang Tong and said softly: "Shiyuan, how is the relocation of the military division?" ”

"The king is at ease, the military officers at all levels have been migrated," Pang Tong hugged his fist.

"Okay, the military department is a completely independent department, only responsible for Lone, Lone left you, just to remind two points, one of them: except for Lone and you, the Minister of the Military Department, no one, no matter what status can interfere in the military department" Yuan Xi said solemnly, he must ensure the absolute loyalty of the army, as long as the army is stable, his throne can be comfortable.

"No!" Pang Tong responded.

"Second: the scale of the military department should be expanded again, the system should be more rigorous, now it is four continents, and there are still many soldiers who have not been taught by the military department, this is not good, you don't have any constraints, you, the minister of the military department, except for Lone, even Xiangguo is not qualified to care" Yuan Xi said seriously.

"King Xie" A trace of excitement flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and since then, the military secretary has officially been equal to the Privy Council Yuan and Shang Shutai.

"Haha, okay, you can go back too! Don't let your wife wait for a long time," Yuan Xi teased.

Pang Tong was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "No"

After Pang Tong had just left the Wuying Palace, he saw Liu Quan suddenly walk over with a man wearing an official uniform, with an expressionless face and a cold look like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.

When Liu Quan, the "huge man", saw it, he immediately saluted.

"Long time no see! Mr. Liu, who is this? Pang Tong asked curiously, pointing to the man behind him.

"Huge man, the commander of the army under the command of the subordinate army makes Zhang Nan" A smile tugged at the corner of Zhang Nan's mouth.

Pang Tong's heart trembled suddenly, this person is the commander of the military command, the one who controls all the secret spies of the king, has the right to cut the civil and military forces below the third grade, and has been hidden in the dark terrible person, a lot of information in Youzhou over the years, especially the information that Xu You is about to defect, is what he obtained, it is said that the king has unlimited trust in him, and they are only responsible for the king, and the others, whether it is Shangshutai or the Privy Council, have no right to manage, and his military department is treated the same, but the right is greater.

"It turns out that Master Zhang, Xin Hui" After Pang Tong calmed down, he smiled and hugged his fists.

"Huge man, the king still wants to see Commander Zhang, and he will talk about it in the future" Liu Quandao.

"Okay," Pang Tong nodded.

When Liu Quan took Zhang Nan into the Wuying Palace, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly became serious, "It seems that this intelligence agency that was once hidden in the shadows is about to surface, the military commander, the military division."

In addition to the idea of commanding the army and being loyal to the king, the military secretary is actually responsible for supervising the affairs of the generals in various places, and the military commander also includes this right, and the two sides will inevitably have communication in the future.

"I hope there won't be friction!" Pang Tong shook his head with a sigh and said, these two major departments are the means used by Yuan Xi to defend the royal power, and once something goes wrong, it will be a big move.
