After the Zhou Dynasty army captured Taiyuan, it officially ended the campaign that lasted for nearly half a year, Xu Shiji led 80,000 troops to garrison Bashu, Li Jing led 70,000 troops to sit in Longyou, Hexi, Wei Chigong led 50,000 troops to garrison Taiyuan, Wei Wentong led 30,000 troops to garrison Hedong County, and the rest of the army returned to Zhongdu to rest.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan officially issued an edict and promulgated a new military system, the general is the third grade, the general Tiance is the highest, followed by the twelve generals, and then the general, the five-level general is the senior general of the Great Zhou Empire, there are restrictions on the number of people, there are also rank restrictions, among which the general of Tiance does not have a real position, but a kind of false position, Zhang Xuan clearly stipulates that only the prince or prince can canonize the general of Tiance.

Even if there are only twelve generals, other generals can only wait for the seats to be vacated before they have a chance, but they can be named hussar generals or champion generals on the loose officials, and exercise the power of generals with the position of generals.

The number of generals is not limited, divided into three ranks, namely General Long Xiang, General Huben and General Yingyang, but there is no quantitative regulation for General Huben and General Yingyang, but General Longxiang has only twenty-four people, corresponding to the left and right generals of the twelve guards.

The middle-level general refers to the Lang general, and the Lang general is divided into three grades, namely the Shanglang general, the middle Lang general and the Lang general, while the low-level general refers to the captain-level general, which is also divided into three grades, the cavalry captain, the feather lieutenant and the cloud lieutenant, and the rest of the brigade commanders, team commanders and captains belong to the non-commissioned officers.

The edict clearly stipulates that when going out on an expedition, a deputy general can be appointed, and the deputy general will be held by a general at the next level.

The biggest feature of the military restructuring is that the number of middle and lower-level generals has been increased, but the difficulty of promoting senior generals has been increased, and the number of generals and generals has been limited.

In addition to the military restructuring, the edict also made detailed provisions on the local county soldier system.

On the third day of the promulgation of the Edict of the Son of Heaven on the reform of the military system, the Military Machinery Station and the Ministry of War jointly announced the list of 174 generals who had been promoted to official positions, including Lai Hu'er, Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Luo Shixin, and so on, to the rank of general, and to the rank of general of the hussars and the general of the champion.

Zhang Xuan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, issued an edict again, giving the first batch of titles, including ten generals such as Lai Hu'er, Li Jing, Wei Chigong, and Luo Shixin, as well as nine important ministers such as Su Lie, Wei Yunqi, Li Gang, and Li Jing, who were awarded the title of the founding duke, and the remaining forty-six generals and civil ministers were given the dukes of the county and the county dukes respectively, and at the same time rewarded the meritorious soldiers of the three armies, allocated one million hectares of public land in ten counties, as well as millions of dollars and 300,000 horses of silk to reward the soldiers, and doubled the compensation for the fallen soldiers.

For a time, the imperial court was in a sensation, and the three armies were boiling, because this military reform took care of the interests of the majority of the people, the morale of the army was particularly high, and the streets of Zhongdu were full of lights, as if the New Year was coming.

In the past few days, Ziwei Palace is also quite busy, Ziwei Palace is openly recruiting the first batch of palace maids to Zhongdu, the quota is three hundred, this is also because of the shortage of manpower in the palace, the need to supplement the palace maids, the age requirement is fourteen to sixteen years old, the family background is innocent, the treatment is good, after four years in the palace to marry, this is actually recruiting maids, but there are too few concubines in the harem of the Son of Heaven, and many large families have found the opportunity and signed up to send their daughters to the palace.

The addition of the harem is basically the responsibility of the chief of the chamberlain, and the queen personally interviews and selects it, and Zhang Xuan basically doesn't ask, and he has been busy discussing with the ministers to formulate various rules and regulations during this time.

As soon as the day dawned, Zhang Xuan went out of the palace as usual to go to the court, today is the fifth day of the first month of August, the great dynasty once a month, and the officials above the seventh rank in Beijing must participate, and the dynasty is not necessarily a formality, many times the dynasty will also decide major military and political matters, such as the new post pavilion system that was officially implemented two months ago, was adopted under the full discussion of the dynasty, and was implemented, directly bypassing the vote of Ziwei Pavilion.

This is also Zhang Xuan's latest stipulation, all kinds of laws and regulations involving the system are promulgated, and they must be fully discussed by the Great Dynasty or the Chinese Dynasty before they can be implemented, although the power of Ziwei Pavilion is limited to a certain extent, but it is conducive to the participation of most court ministers in the discussion of major military and political affairs.

Therefore, China and the DPRK have also carried out reforms, and twice a month has been changed to three times a month, which is also held once every ten years, and civilian officials above the fifth rank must participate.

Zhang Xuan's eldest son is ten years old this year, he began to study at the age of five, and since last year he has been auditing the proceedings of Ziwei Pavilion every two days.

Zhang Xuan felt that his son was a little strange today, and he was relatively silent, and he always bowed his head and didn't say a word along the way.

"What's going on today, what's going on?" Zhang Xuan asked lovingly by putting his arm around his son's shoulder.

"Father, there is a question in the son's heart that I have been puzzled about."

"If you have any questions, just say it, don't hold it in your heart."

Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Since our Zhou army has formed an absolute advantage over the Tang Dynasty, why don't we attack Guanzhong in one go, and withdraw our troops back to give them a chance to breathe?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, "I see, how long have you been holding this question in your heart?" ”

"It's been almost ten days."

"Then why don't you ask Sir or another minister?"

"Erchen asked Mr. Yu and Mr. Li, and they couldn't say a reason, just said that the army needs to rest, the people need to recuperate, and the summer harvest cannot be delayed, etc., although there is a certain reason, but Erchen feels that it is not sufficient, and it is not better to directly unify the world and rest with the people?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "This question is really difficult for ordinary people to answer. ”

He looked around, and suddenly pointed to an extremely tall and lush tree and said, "Yesterday I heard that the guards were going to cut down that big tree. ”

"Why, it's so leafy, why cut it down?" Zhang Ting asked puzzled.

"Because its interior has been hollowed out by insects, its meridians are broken, and it will completely wither after a while, so the guards should cut it down as soon as possible to prevent the insect infestation from spreading."

"I see, now it doesn't look like an insect pest at all, my father doesn't say it, I really think it's a pity for the big tree."

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "The Tang Dynasty is such a big tree, in fact, it has withered inside, but it has not been fully manifested, if we destroy it prematurely, many people will miss its flourishing branches, and a group of old and young people will never forget to restore it, on the contrary, we should not be in a hurry, wait for the decline of the Tang Dynasty to be fully revealed, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty will live a miserable life, so that the officials hate it incomparably, and the scholars will be completely disappointed in it, and then we will destroy it, and there will not be many people who will miss it, just like the Sui Dynasty, If it perishes in six years, there will be countless people and scholars who will miss its strong prosperity, so when it completely decays and perishes in the fourteenth year of its great cause, how many people are still nostalgic for the Sui Dynasty? ”

Zhang Ting suddenly realized, "I see, Erchen understands." ”

Zhang Xuan patted his son on the shoulder again and smiled: "Actually, what your husband said is also right, if there is a war every year, the national strength and the people's strength will be unbearable, on the contrary, if you accumulate your strength and fight it once every three years, the court and the people will not have much of a burden." ”

Zhang Ting nodded silently, this time he really understood.

Zhang Xuan smiled, in fact, he still had some special reasons for not telling his son, now the Tang Dynasty is concentrating on eradicating the Guanlong nobles, the Tang Dynasty is working so hard to eradicate a big hidden danger for himself, why wouldn't he do it?

It's just that this reason is too dark, and he doesn't want to pollute his son's pure heart too early.

The chariot slowly drove across the Rainbow Bridge and entered the back square of the Anyang Palace, where there were already several palace imperial historians waiting, Zhang Xuan got out of the chariot and asked, "Have the courtiers arrived?" ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have all arrived, and they have entered the palace, waiting for Your Majesty to enter the court."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Enter the palace!" ”

Zhang Xuan was dressed in a red yellow dragon robe of nine chapters, wearing a crown of cupola, a jade belt around his waist, and stepping on the clouds, under the guidance of several royal histories, he walked quickly to the main hall, Zhang Ting followed behind his father, walked to the door of the side hall, and waited for the forty-eight honor guards here to come forward and salute, they held wooden weapons, lined up to enter the hall, and sixteen palace maids also moved forward, there were eight people in front and behind, and they were holding long-handled palace fans and hugging Zhang Xuan's father and son.

At this time, the chief supervisor of the palace shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”

Forty-eight honor guards began to line up into the palace, and then sixteen palace maids slowly moved forward, hugging Zhang Xuan and his son into the hall, Zhang Xuan sat down on the dragon couch, and the crown prince Zhang Ting sat on the prince's seat at the lower head, he was still young, just came to listen to the court, and did not participate in the court's discussion.

When Zhang Xuan sat down, thousands of officials bowed down together, "See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your majesty!" ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "All the secretaries are exempt from courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The central supervisor of the palace on duty immediately said in a loud voice: "There are three topics in the Great Dynasty today, one is about the construction of the straight road from Zhongdu to Luoyang and Jiangdu: second, about the revision of the salt law; Third, about ........"

The hall was unusually quiet, and every minister listened very carefully, and they began to discuss the affairs of the court once every ten days.
