With the establishment of the alliance between Tuqi and the Silk Country, Liu Yan made a series of adjustments to the personnel appointments of the Silk Country—this is of course because the situation in the north of the Silk Country has changed dramatically, but also because Liu Yan hopes to take this opportunity to adjust his internal situation.

In addition to appointing Liu Tanzhi, the king of Xiaokang County, as the servant of Shangshu Province, Liu Yan also appointed Xue Boren, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as the post of servant of the province under the door, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of War; Qiu Yiru, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was reappointed as the servant of the Zhongshu Province. Since then, none of the three people who have served as prime ministers of the country of silk have been figures of the former Hou Party, and Liu Yan hopes to curb the huge power of the Hou Party.

Liu Xianzhi, the former king of Zhongyi County, was reappointed as the protector of the capital of the northern land, holding the festival and crowning the king of Yan. The former commander of the Youzhou Ma Army made Gao Dingbian serve as the deputy protector, and Gao Dingbian's deputy general Lu Mingxian served as the Sima of the capital protector. Liu Xianzhi's generals Hao Mancai, Han Jianlong, and Situ Botong respectively served as defense envoys of Fengzhou, Linzhou, and Shuozhou. Liu Yan's actions were ostensibly to increase Liu Xianzhi's jurisdiction, but in fact, half of the main force of the Northland Protectorate was the troops of the original Youzhou, and his generals were also sealed to various places, Liu Xianzhi's influence was of course still there, but the actual number of troops that could be commanded at hand had declined.

In addition to these appointments, Liu Yan also relieved the crown prince and Taibao Wang Hanxin from his position, reappointed him as the head of the march of Shannan Province, concurrently served as the commander of Dingzhou, and was crowned the general of Zhengxi. The impact of this appointment on everyone is still quite big, because in terms of official rank, Wang Hanxin was actually belittled, but in terms of actual power, he regained his military power, so this is an appointment that is open and secretly promoted. This made those who had prejudices against Wang Hanxin, especially the Confucian Party, complain a lot about it.

In order to settle these objections, Liu Yan can be said to have exhausted his thoughts, but as the party who was ordained, Wang Hanxin also had great troubles, that is, a considerable number of the war orphans he adopted were already adults, and their strong desire to follow Wang Hanxin to join the army made Wang Hanxin have a headache. The mansion, which had just been replaced with a plaque from the Zhengxi General's Mansion, was almost drowned out by the sound of disputes, and Wang Hanxin at this time was obviously alone, having to face the siege of enemies several times his size, and even his brother-in-law Chen Shijie was unwilling to stand by his side.

Forced into desperation, Wang Hanxin had no choice but to use the excuse that he must have enough ability to march outside, which led to a big competition in Wang Hanxin's mansion. But the results surprised Wang Hanxin - the test items he developed himself were almost completely an obstacle for these children, and most of the boys passed Wang Hanxin's test, even those who were underage. In the face of these children who are skilled in bows and horses, outstanding in martial arts, and also skilled in military strategy, even Wang Hanxin himself is active, and finally Wang Hanxin has to compromise: all boys who have passed the test and have reached adulthood can accompany him, and minors must wait until they are adults.

Originally, Wang Hanxin reversed his word, and this result was a few happy and a few worried, but at this time, the crown prince Liu Jie rescued Wang Hanxin from the crisis.

The crown prince is very dissatisfied with Wang Hanxin's dismissal, because Wang Hanxin has not fulfilled his promise so far - to take the prince out of the palace to open his eyes. Therefore, he made a special trip to call Wang Hanxin to his mansion and sternly questioned questions about this promise.

Regarding the prince's childish request, Wang Hanxin only persuaded him with good words: "Your Highness, the minister's transfer this time is actually a blessing rather than a curse for His Highness, and the minister thinks that the emperor's arrangement is just an opportunity to fulfill His Highness's wish and let the minister's promise be realized." ”

Liu Jiehu said suspiciously: "What are you talking about, why can't you understand it?" ”

Wang Hanxin hurriedly said: "The minister means that the emperor's generals and ministers are dismissed for the sake of His Highness. His Royal Highness is the prince, and his identity is already above 10,000 people under one person, at this time, His Royal Highness has the support of the prince, and he will definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the prince, but only he cannot be in charge of the army, because the prince who has always tried to take charge of the army will become the target of the public, which is obviously not good for His Highness. If the minister, as a military general, continues to stay by His Highness's side, it will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience, so the minister's departure is actually to protect His Highness. As for the minister's promise to His Highness, His Highness does not need to worry. Now that the minister is the head of the march of Shannan Road, it is the emperor who is already considering the threat of Tubo to our dynasty, and it is conceivable that Tubo will inevitably be ready to move after seeing it, but with the wisdom of the emperor, how can Tubo succeed? At that time, His Royal Highness only needs to suggest to the emperor to inspect the border for the emperor, wouldn't that be a justifiable trip out of the palace? ”

"But when will that be?"

"Why should Your Highness be in a hurry? The time has not yet come, and it is not beautiful to act reluctantly, Your Highness is the crown prince, patience is the first priority, please be aware of it. ”

Liu Jie nodded and said, "I already know your intentions." It's just that after you're gone, you'll have to face those old pedants every day, and it's too boring to think about such a day. ”

Wang Hanxin heard the inspiration, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? There are many adopted orphans in the minister's mansion, many of them have reached adulthood, and they will go with the ministers this time, but those children who are not yet minors are too lonely to stay in the capital, so it is better for His Highness to ask them to accompany His Highness, so that they can accompany His Highness left and right, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Liu Jie was happy when he heard it, and said, "Okay, good!" I haven't had time to see the Pan Xi you mentioned last time, and a few more will be even more lively! ”

Wang Hanxin said with a smile: "The minister inspected them this time, although they are young, but the martial arts and bows and horses are above His Highness, and the poems and articles are not as good as His Highness, His Highness is with them, just to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and make progress." ”

Facts have proved that it is precisely because of the private decision of Wang Hanxin and Liu Jie that the prosperity of the country of silk for the next fifty years has been created. It is precisely because of the emergence of these princes' companions that the crown prince Liu Jie continued to make progress in the following years and became the emperor of both civil and military affairs, thus continuing the prosperity after the Liu Yan Dynasty. Of course, neither of the parties at the time was aware of this.

Soon, the day of farewell came. The result of Emperor Liu Yan personally seeing off Wang Hanxin was that although there were a large number of people who were dissatisfied with this appointment, the Manchu civil and military forces could only join the send-off team.

The crown prince Liu Jie took his sister Liu Sixian, the princess of Pingguo, to sit on the chariot and follow his father, Liu Sixian, who was only seven years old, watched his brother personally toast a courtier, with a full look of reluctance on his face, which left a deep impression on the little Liu Sixian, and she could still clearly recall this scene until many years later.
