Chapter 292: Opening the Mansion and Governing Affairs

At the end of March of the first year of Zhonghe, Li Bao returned to Weizhou, and Zhang Qingping, the envoy of Shannan Xidao Jiedu, and Li Ying, the eldest princess of Changning of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yi, the king of Mu, who had received the information in advance, and the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, who accompanied Li Bao, escorted Zheng Ningji, the assassin of Weizhou.

All the high-level leaders of the Weizhou Group gathered in Weizhou to hold a meeting to discuss the matter of the opening of the Jiwang Mansion to govern affairs, and this matter has already been blowing the wind among the high-level leaders in Weizhou. However, because Li Bao had to think about it thoroughly, coupled with the encirclement and suppression of Huangchao, it has been delayed for a long time and has not been settled.

Now that the 50,000 army led by Shang Rang has been wiped out in Fengxiang, the puppet Qi court has suffered a great loss of vitality for a while, and it will not be easy to talk about the expedition to the west. Therefore, Fengxiang and Weizhou have a period of safe development, so Li Bao remembered this major event as soon as he returned to Weizhou.

Since the representatives of the interests of all parties have come to Weizhou, the meeting and discussion will naturally be much smoother, and now the high-level of Weizhou is only a three-party mountain, Zhang Qingping has become the envoy of Shannan West Road, plus Zhang Zhifang has performed well in the offensive and defensive battles of Chang'an City, so their father and son have become a big mountain in the Weizhou army.

However, the Zhang family and his son have the eldest princess of Changning as a bridge, and their father and son have always been very respectful to Li Bao, so they didn't pay too much attention to this matter. However, Zhou Rui, Qian De'an and others are brothers with Zhang Qingping, so Zhang's father and son gathered high-level generals in the Weizhou army.

Another big mountain is the Fengxiang officials represented by Zheng Ningji, these officials are all middle- and lower-level officials who came with Zheng Ningji, these officials manage the specific affairs of Weizhou, and have a lot of influence in Weizhou City.

In addition, everyone in Weizhou City knew that Li Bao had a marriage contract with Zheng Ningji's daughter Zheng Yan, so most of the civil officials who came to Weizhou later were attached to Zheng Ningji.

In addition to the mountains of the Zhang and Zheng families, the rest is the irons under Li Bao, including Chai Cun and Hu Ouyang Hui who surrendered in the peasant army, as well as Chang'an Zhong's subduation of Zhang Chengfan and others, plus Zhang Chengye and Jing Xiang and other high-level civil officials.

And his relationship with Zhang Qingping and Zheng Ningji and others is not bad, so Li Bao has become the core and link to maintain all the forces in Weizhou, so after Li Bao, the governor of the opening of the mansion, fully discussed with Zhang and Zheng, he officially issued the appointment letter of the subordinate officials of the Ji Kingdom.

The position of Changshi, the most powerful in the Ji Kingdom, was handed over to Li Bao's future father-in-law, Zheng Ningji, who was a high position but light in power, and Zheng Ningji spent most of his time in Fengxiang, so this ministry was very suitable for him. In addition, everyone else knows about the relationship between Zheng Ningji and Li Bao, so no one will have any objections to this.

The history of the kingdom has become a vacant position, so the most important thing is that Zhu Cao joined the army. He was a member of the king, the prince, and the general, and was in charge of the Cao Wen book, and he was responsible for the good and evil. This position is held by Zhang Zhifang, Zhang Zhifang has worked hard, but Zhang Qingping already has the prominent position of Shannan West Road Festival Envoy, so Li Bao arranged him with an idle position, which can be regarded as a way to achieve a balance between the virtual and the real.

In addition to recording the participation in the army, the inspection envoy of Chai Cun is still set up, and the scope and independence of the inspection are not compromised in the slightest. In this way, Zhang Zhifang can not only be urged not to bend the law for personal gain, but also to promote the mutual progress of the record, the army, and the inspection envoys.

In addition to the above two major positions, Zhu Cao's participation in the army has become the most powerful ministry. Gong Cao's joining the army was handed over to Zhang Chengye, who was the best at farming and management, so Gong Cao's ministry was entrusted to him, which was regarded as making the best use of his talents. In addition, Zhang Chengye followed Li Bao for the longest time, so Li Bao ordered Zhang Chengye to have the authority to oversee Zhu Cao.

In view of the fact that Zhang Qingping has the ministry of the envoy of Shannan West Province, it is not appropriate for him to serve as the minister of Bingcao in Weizhou, so he will not be able to perform the function of the center of Bingcao. Therefore, Li Bao arranged for Zhang Chengfan, who later joined the Weizhou Army, to take this position, so that Li Bao, who was in charge of military affairs, was also very relieved.

Hu Cao's participation in the army was handed over to Jing Xiang, who studied with Yang Yan, the Minister of Finance, for a long time in Chang'an, and was in charge of Hu Cao, and Li Bao was also very relieved.

Cangcao's participation in the army was served by Zhao Wenzhen, so that the warehousing ministry was also in charge of Zhao Wenzhen, who also studied with Yang Yan, and Li Bao was also very satisfied with his personality and talent.

In addition, Li Bao added several official positions in order to be able to meet the needs of Weizhou's operation, among which the city Cao was in charge of attracting investment and the management of the city's workshops. This position is very important, and it will be a very valuable ministry in Weizhou City in the future, so Li Bao handed over this position to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang is very talented in poetry, but his talent in doing things is also extremely good, otherwise this son would not have been the prime minister in the former Shu regime for more than ten years.

In addition, Li Bao also set up Fa Cao to join the army, this position is mainly to improve the legal system construction in Weizhou, so he should set it up early, this position is not yet suitable for the position, so Li Bao ordered Chai Cun to concurrently serve. As for what kind of legal system building in Weizhou can achieve in the future, Li Bao does not know, but he must put the shelves out as soon as possible, so that it will be convenient for the Weizhou clique to be properly managed in the future.

As for Xuan Cao's joining the army in charge of military quartermasters, Li Bao was handed over to Yang Siqi, who had served as an ordnance supervisor in Chang'an. In the past, the expeditions of the Weizhou army were scarce, and Yang Siqi was able to cope with the troops, but in the future, Li Bao would have to make frequent expeditions, and Yang Siqi would be powerless. Therefore, Li Bao took this opportunity to replace him, which can be regarded as a kind of preferential treatment for him.

Although the above ministries are not of high grade, but the people who serve are very happy, after all, the territory of the Weizhou Group is not small, except for Shannan West Road, the towns around Weizhou have been captured by the Weizhou army, such a large territory will be very heavy, and the ministry in the Ji Kingdom is only limited by the regulations of the Ji Kingdom, but the ministries of the states will never be able to ask because of their low grade.

So they all understand that they are limited by today's conditions, and their low grade is only temporary, and now that the troubled times are approaching, no one can say what Datang will develop into in the future, but with Li Bao's wisdom and ingenuity, their future will never be bad. In case King Ji has a further opportunity in the future, they will all be "ministers of the dragon", and this kind of opportunity is absolutely unique.

After the important ministry is determined, the rest is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Ji, and the Kingdom of Ji has two Jiedu envoys, namely the Pingnan Jiedu Envoy with Weizhou as the center, and Zhang Chengye as the envoy of the Jiedu. The other one is Zhang Qingping's Shannan West Road Jiedu Envoy.

The other two major festivals make the subordinate officials of the yamen have two major festivals to recommend themselves and submit them to Li Bao for review. Of course, in view of the limited talents in Weizhou, the officials of the two major festivals are still mainly officials in the Ji Kingdom.

In addition, in order to put an end to mountainism, Li Bao specially adjusted the military generals of the two major jiedu envoys, Qian De'an and Xiahou Haoyue and other apprentices under Wu An's main gate led the troops in Pingnan Jiedu, and Song Wentong and Ouyang Hui and other foreign generals led the army to Shannan West Road.

As for the grade of the two major festival envoys, it is still lower than the long history of the kingdom, and it is the same level as Zhu Cao's participation in the army. In this way, it can avoid the long history of not being respected and the festival to make it bigger.

In the future, within the kingdom, Li Bao's orders were called Ling, and he was honored as His Royal Highness, which could strengthen Li Bao's sense of existence and honor as the leader of the Weizhou group, as well as Li Bao's sense of legitimacy and legitimacy as the leader of the Weizhou group.

Of course, Li Bao didn't take the initiative to ask for these things, he didn't care about these vain, but he couldn't stand the repeated persuasion of everyone, so after Zheng Ningji, Jing Xiang and others repeatedly pouted, Li Bao had to compromise.

At this point, all the major events of the Ji Kingdom have basically settled, and the next thing is the selection of the generals of the various armies and the assassins of the states, Li Bao is no longer nerve-wracking, and it is handed over to the newly appointed prince of the kingdom to do, he only needs to be in charge of the review power.

After a few busy days, Li Bao led many officials to convene a meeting of all officials in the kingdom, and agreed on the development direction and development strategy of Weizhou Group at the meeting. The congress agreed that the direction of development of the Weizhou clique would no longer be the wars of the princes and counterinsurgency wars in the Central Plains. The development direction of the Weizhou group will be the nomads of the Tibetan and northwest steppes, which are basically in the hands of foreign races, and Li Bao's capture of these territories will not be criticized and condemned by public opinion.

Of course, Zheng Ningji, who was the commander of the Fengxiang Festival, was very angry at the meeting, and as an orthodox imperial faction, he was very puzzled to see that the powerful Weizhou group actually sat back and watched the Tang Dynasty court fall and did not help. But he couldn't shake Li Bao's thoughts, so he had no choice but to throw away Zheng Zhiya, who was extremely disappointed.

Li Bao looked at the back of his future father-in-law who was gone, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, but he was familiar with history, but he couldn't sit back and watch the Weizhou Group lose senselessly in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains, so he could only silently let Zheng Ningji leave.

Just as the sunset passed by in the sky, Li Bao knew that now the political/political differences between him and the Zheng family had reached an irreparable situation, and as for his marriage with Zheng Yan, Li Bao had no energy to worry about it, so he could only resign himself to fate.

Of course, Zheng Ningji's angry departure could not affect Weizhou's established strategy in the slightest, as the master of Weizhou, Li Bao's words and thoughts were the thoughts and thoughts of all the military and civilians in Weizhou, and no one was willing to question Li Bao's authority, so Li Bao's report was unanimously supported and approved by the high-level people in Weizhou.

Now that the strategy has been agreed, the next thing is the specific strategy, and the direction of the main attack in the future is Tubo, after all, the love and enmity between this nation and the Tang people is by no means something that can be said in one day, so the main attack on Tubo is also the future Tang people to vent their grievances and fight for a face.

As for how to attack Tubo Li Bao has his own ideas, whether it can achieve the effect Li Bao is not sure, after all, no one has used this method before him. However, Li Bao was determined to give it a try, and the final result could only depend on whether the Mandate of Heaven was true to him.
