==============

In the continued lingering after the release of passion, Yang Xi also heard a lot of things from Yang Yuhuan's mouth.

The most important one was that he thoroughly understood why Li Longji would think of letting him preside over the affairs of the military department.

Since the first good news came from Qinghai, Yang Yuhuan has been saying in front of Li Longji how outstanding Yang Xi's military strategy is, and if Yang Xi is allowed to preside over military affairs in the future, the Tang Dynasty army will definitely be invincible and invincible. And when the good news in Qinghai continued to come, the crown prince Li Jue also said a lot of good things about Yang Xi in front of Li Longji, and finally let Li Longji decide to let Yang Xi preside over the affairs of the military department in the future.

Even if Yang Guozhong does not resign, he will not let Li Longji change his mind on this point. Yang Guozhong submitted his resignation at this time, which made Li Longji make a decision without any hesitation.

"Shiro, your father's resignation has made His Majesty sad, and he wants to make up for some regrets for your father in you, so you don't shirk all this, accept it all!"

"Thank you aunt for reminding me, Shiro knows what to do!" Yang Xi, who personally sorted out Yang Yuhuan's dress, looked emotional.

The two have been lingering for a long time, and they must get up, and they can continue to talk after they get up, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are discovered. Yang Yuhuan was already very satisfied just now, his body was spasmed, and Yang Xi knew that the rewards for his hard work were still very rich.

Yang Yuhuan talked a lot, including Li Jue's performance during this time, and the movements of some ministers of the DPRK and China that she knew, all of which told Yang Xi in detail, which made Yang Xi very surprised. For him, Yang Yuhuan is a bit like a "super spy", providing him with too much useful information. In the future, the energy spent on Yang Yuhuan cannot be less, and I believe that the effort will continue to pay off. Yang Xi didn't know if Mrs. Qiu Guo had said anything in front of Li Longji in this matter, that woman couldn't be left out in the cold, maybe she could get her help at a critical time.

Yang Xi finally left the palace contentedly and returned to the Wei Mansion.

Just two days after Yang Guozhong's resignation was sent to Li Longji, the imperial court issued an edict. approved Yang Guozhong's resignation, and ordered Guo Ziyi, who was still in Anxi to suppress chaos, to serve as the left minister of the school, and Yang Xi, who returned to the dynasty, guarded the military department and presided over the affairs of the military department.

The imperial court also summoned Gao Shi, a military attendant who was still in Qinghai, to return to Beijing, preparing to cooperate with Yang Xi in the reform of the imperial court's military system.

During Li Longji's time, the conscription system completely replaced the early government military system, which played a very big role in improving the army's combat effectiveness. However, because the generals of the border towns held the power of the military and the people's livelihood, the central government's decrees could not be issued and implemented unimpeded, and when Li Longji became more and more lazy to manage the government, a rebellion like An Lushan occurred. Now the rebellion has been put down. The Tibetan threat was also eliminated. Li Longji further thought of cutting the generals of the town army. Completely eliminate internal worries. He thought that the most suitable person was Yang Xi, a young man who had made unparalleled feats in the two battles, and asked Guo Ziyi to cooperate with Yang Xi to do this.

Young people are driven, driven, and will not back down even in the face of setbacks. This is an important reason why Li Longji completely handed over this important task to Yang Xi, and he believes that Yang Xi will not let him down.

Of course, Yang Xi didn't fully understand what Li Longji meant, but he knew that Li Longji wanted to push him to the front desk and let him take charge of this most easily offended and very tricky matter.

Although he knew that this matter was easy to offend people and difficult to do, Yang Xi did not have any reluctance or retreat. Knowing some of the original historical events, and knowing that the main reason for the rapid decline of the Tang Dynasty since the Anshi Rebellion was the disaster of the feudal towns, the prefects of the feudal towns with heavy troops did not pay attention to the edicts of the imperial court at all, and regarded the feudal towns under his rule as their own kingdoms. The military and political affairs and people's livelihood were in one hand, and this situation led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty and its eventual demise. Since the time travel has come to this era, Yang Xi will not tolerate this situation.

If Li Longji hadn't handed over to him the matter of reducing the power in the hands of the generals in the towns and borders and carrying out military reform. Yang Xi would also strongly suggest to the imperial court to reform the shortcomings in this regard, and even asked himself to do it. Now that Li Longji has completely handed over power to him before he asks for his life, how can he complain?

Because Yang Xi was already assisting Guo Ziyi in this area before the conquest of Tubo, it didn't take too many means to take over comprehensively, he hoped that Gao Shi would return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and with this cronie to do this together, Yang Xi believed that it would be much smoother.

Yang Xi knew that the prestige he had established in the process of counterinsurgency and this expedition to Tibet was incomparable to that of no one, and this was the capital for him to carry out drastic reforms in the future.

On the tenth day after Gao Shi was ordered to return to Beijing to assist Yang Xi in presiding over the comprehensive military reform, Gao Shi, who had handed over everything, also used the post station to gallop back to Chang'an. Because he didn't know what he was calling back to Beijing for, Gao Shi didn't even return home after arriving in Chang'an, so he came directly to Yang Xi's mansion to inquire about the reason.

"Congratulations to Ziliang for taking over the post of Martial Arts Scholar!" Gao Shi was happy for Yang Xi's promotion, and he was also proud that he had been rewarded by the imperial court again.

He still served as a squire in the military department, but because of his great achievements in this expedition, the imperial court gave him another position, and also served as the chief supervisor of the army, so that the two important positions were held by him, Gao Shi had a feeling of high spirits.

He was very grateful to Yang Xi, and he knew that without Yang Xi, he would not have achieved what he is now.

Yang Xi read this gratitude from Gao Shi's expression, but he just smiled and said that it was nothing, "Brother Dafu, the imperial court has entrusted you with an important position, and I hope you will work more conscientiously in the future." Your Majesty has ordered the two of us to be mainly responsible for the reform of the military system, and I hope that the two of us can work together not to disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Please rest assured, Ziliang will definitely do his best to do his best and never let His Majesty and you down!" Gao Shi looked full of confidence.

"This military reform, I don't want to give up halfway, we must completely straighten out the military system of the Tang Dynasty through this reform, and there will never be a rebellion like An Lushan, where the generals on the edge of the town raise troops to make trouble. To do this, we must establish a reasonable military system, and in the next period of time, we will mainly discuss how to formulate a reasonable military system," Speaking of this, Yang Xi smiled, "I will write a draft of the system in this regard in a few days, and then you can take a look, and we will discuss it again and see how to change it!"

In later generations, Yang Xi stayed in the army, and he had a little study of the military system of the republic, which can be used for reference, and then combined with the current actual situation, and discussed more with Gao Shi and others, I believe that a set of effective military systems can be formulated and used for many years.

"That's very good, after a few days, Ziliang, you have written a draft, I must read it carefully immediately, and then discuss it with you!"

Yang Xi nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Brother Dafu, this military reform needs a lot of people, I will write a list tonight, and then you will use all the people on the list!"

"Got it!" Gao Yi clearly understood Yang Xi's intention of arranging this, Yang Xi wanted to further envelop the people on the list around him.

Gao Shi's sensibility made Yang Xi feel at ease. However, Yang Xi is very worried about one thing, that is, Yang Guozhong's illness, he knows that if Yang Guozhong dies, then he has to stop his work and keep filial piety for Yang Guozhong.

This is what you must do when a son in ancient times, whether you are a prime minister or an emperor, your father is dead, you must keep filial piety for him, otherwise you will be scolded by the world, no matter how talented you are, you will also be branded as unfilial, and you will never want to have a future in this life.

But whatever he thought about would come, and on the fifteenth day when the imperial court officially appointed Yang Xi to guard the military department and preside over the affairs of the military department, Yang Guozhong stopped breathing in a coma and died suddenly. Yang Xi, who has been busy preparing for the comprehensive reform of the military system these days, was also forced to put down what he was doing and went to the Wei Mansion to guard Yang Guozhong's soul.

Although Yang Guozhong had a bad reputation before he fell seriously ill, and was called a "traitor" by many people, the imperial court spoke highly of him, and Li Longji issued an edict to greatly praise Yang Guozhong, posthumously conferring him as Sikong, the king of the county, and the governor of Luozhou. After hearing the news of Yang Guozhong's death, Li Longji wept bitterly, and finally ordered all the officials in Beijing to go to the Wei Mansion to mourn, and sent the crown prince Li Ying to the Wei Mansion on his behalf to express condolences to Yang Guozhong's family.

Of course, Yang Xi followed the example of his three elder brothers, and resigned from all positions on the table, preparing to be loyal and filial to Yang Guozhong. Of course, the imperial court allowed Yang Xi to kneel in front of Yang Guozhong's coffin as a filial son with his three elder brothers, and accept the comfort of all those who came to the mansion to mourn.

After Yang Guozhong died, he stopped for five days and was buried.

Although Li Longji has not passed away, the Tailing Tomb that he will be buried after his death is already in the process of construction, and as a minister that Li Longji trusts very much, Yang Guozhong has been treated as a burial companion to the Tailing.

No matter how much notoriety Yang Guozhong left during his lifetime, it was also written off with his death. Because of Yang Xi's outstanding son, in the annals of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong has become a very outstanding minister in all aspects, and he is almost "bleached".

If Yang Guozhong knew what happened to him in the original history, he would definitely be very happy to die like this now, the treatment of ice and fire! In the original history, he was chased and killed by the rebels, his body was in a different place, and his burial place was unknown, leaving behind all infamy and infamy, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. And now he is recorded in history as a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Xi knew this, so although he was a little sad about Yang Guozhong's death, he didn't have much sadness, and he was also glad for Yang Guozhong, so he died a well-deserved death, at least compared to the original.

The day after Yang Guozhong's burial, Guo Xin also gave birth.

In a crisp cry, Yang Xi became a father, and he had his own son.
