After dispersing the court, Yi Feng returned to the Shangshu Provincial Governor's Office, he is still participating in the governor's affairs, and there are still many affairs waiting for him to deal with here.

The subordinate officials in the governor's office were all like having ears to the wind, and they already knew what was happening in the court at this time, and they congratulated Yi Feng one after another, calling them courtiers. Hearing that voice, Yi Feng was shocked that the huge gap between the prince and the prince was in front of him. The prince, no matter how many official positions he holds, even if he is the chief minister and the prime minister, he is still a courtier. And the grandson, although there is still a prince on his head, some of them are not up or down, but he has already broken away from the sequence of courtiers and is the king, although the prince is only a vice-monarch. Yi Feng also had a very comfortable feeling in his heart, but this feeling only lasted for a moment, and he immediately became alert again. He remembered his analysis of why Yang Jian wanted to set up a grandson, and his grandson was just a pawn taken out by the emperor in order to maintain the monopoly of imperial power and prevent the prestige of King Jin from becoming too prestigious.

Think about it again, a few years ago, on that winter solstice day, hundreds of officials went to the East Palace to meet the prince as usual, originally the prince was the prince, according to the usual practice, the winter solstice is one of the three most important days in the court, and it is natural for the officials to go to the East Palace to see the prince on these three days every year. But before that, there was an official who played to the emperor, saying that the emperor should abdicate as the emperor and then pass the throne to the crown prince. Then soon after, there was a hundred officials in the East Palace to congratulate the prince, there was such a scene over the years, but that year Yang Jian held on, and asked his subordinates what kind of etiquette this was, at that time, Taichang Shaoqing Xin Yu played back, saying that the East Palace should only use congratulations and not the court, so Yang Jian immediately ordered his subordinates not to use the courtesy to see Yang Yong in the future. Even further ordered those strong guards in the East Palace. They were all transferred to their side, leaving only many old and weak guards for Yang Jian.

From this matter. Yi Feng could tell that Yang Jian had indeed been on guard against his son. If it weren't for Yang Yong's mediocrity, he might not have been able to be the prince for so many years.

At this time, the officials called their subordinates, and Yi Feng's face immediately changed, although after the incident of the 100 officials in the East Palace, Yang Jian only decreed that the 100 officials were not allowed to use the courtesy to see Yang Yong in the future, and did not say that the 100 officials were not allowed to call themselves subordinates to the prince. However, Yi Feng didn't want to cause the emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction in some trivial matters, and even gave Yang Guang, Yang Liang and others an excuse to attack, so he retreated at the moment. Not at all.

After letting Daohe's officials retreat, Yi Feng sat down in front of the official case and began to write a chapter. The content of the chapter is that in the future, officials cannot call themselves subordinates to the grandson, and the specific content is that the country has only one monarch, and although the prince and grandson are the princes of the country, they are also courtiers. There is no reason for a courtier to be a vassal to another courtier, so this inappropriate title should be changed. In addition, Yi Feng thought about it, and finally wrote that he thought that there was no need to set up Taisun's eight-rate two generals to guard the soldiers and horses. The specifications of their own guards should be according to the prince's system. After writing it, he checked it carefully and found that there was no problem, Yi Feng immediately sealed it and called his subordinates to send him to the palace.

Yi Feng had to be cautious. He was not stunned by the word Taisun, and he clearly understood that there was something wrong with his expression. That could cause the emperor's displeasure at any time.

Sending this letter, Wei Chigong sent a large stack of letters to his desk. These letters, sealed with fire paint, were all sent from Huaihuang. And all of them are sealed.,And the letterhead inside is all written in code.,Although it looks like it's all standard Chinese characters.,But no one can read the meaning when read directly.,The front and back don't match at all.。 This is an encrypted letter, which can only be deciphered if you know the agreed password. And in order to prevent leakage, when Yi Feng left Huaihuang, he had already told the left-behind Gao Bo that the password for correspondence would be changed every five days. They had already devised hundreds of sets of passwords, which were changed every five days, and they were changed randomly, and only by using another complex set of codes to decipher which set of codes the letters were sent to, and then they could decipher them according to the corresponding set of codes. And these two types of passwords are only mastered by a few people in the entire Huaihuang, especially for the latter set of passwords, only Yi Feng and Gao Bo know.

Yi Feng took the letter and observed it carefully, then called Cheng Mingzhen and told him to start deciphering the letter with the specified set of passwords.

Cheng Mingzhen interprets by Yi Feng's side, and after every translation, Yi Feng reads one, and burns it directly after reading it, without a word flowing outside.

These letters are all from the wilderness, but not all of them are secret. In short, after Gao Bo, who was in charge of the left-behind matter, dealt with it on his behalf, he sent a copy of the matter and the results of his disposal to Yi Feng as usual. In addition, the three intelligence agencies such as the special branch will also report the intelligence in a steady stream, even if Yi Feng is not in Huaihuang, but all kinds of things that happen every day in Huaihuang, military, civil, commercial and other things, Yi Feng can keep abreast of the latest situation, and even the dynamics of various civil and military officials, he can also fully grasp the three intelligence agencies, and the three intelligence agencies also supervise each other, so that he will not be deceived by the people below.

Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, Yi Feng doesn't fully believe it. He believes more in a good organizational structure, a good system to solve the problem of trust. Unconditional trust may work in the short term, but time changes, the situation changes, and no one can be sure that people's hearts will not change. It is not possible to do without supervision, and the system that Yi Feng has engaged in is actually open to the people below, so that everyone knows that they have a sword on their heads, so whoever wants to cross that line must consider the sword on their heads. This may seem unreasonable, but it is actually a protection for everyone.

The four newly built cities of Huaihuang have been largely completed, the main part of the defense, the city wall, the ditch, the arrow tower, etc., have been completed, and the houses, warehouses, streets, and shops inside have also completed the first phase of the project. Now the four new cities have been connected with the original three cities, the six cities will surround the inner city to guard, like plum blossoms, the walls between the six outer cities have been connected, the walls of the six cities have enclosed a wider city, a new and large-scale Huaihuang Qilian City has been erected outside the fortress, which will be able to accommodate more shops and workshops, as well as garrisons and military families. The completion of the city. It will give the Huaihuang towns outside the fortress a strong center that will allow them to withstand the ferocious attacks of the Turks from the steppe.

The training of the Huaihuang army is still going on intensely. According to Yi Feng's instructions, the Huaihuang Seventh Army was training according to the predetermined training plan. This is a completely non-productive professional army, with three field infantry troops, one field cavalry army, and three city defense reserve troops. Among them, the number of cavalry troops led by Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Zhang Chengjin, etc., has increased a lot again, and officially broke through the 10,000 cavalry mark for the first time. On the one hand, Li Jing trained the Huaihuang cavalry, and on the other hand, he also used the ordnance and war horse equipment bought from the Huaihuang loan to train his Daning Town cavalry. A few years ago, Li Jing submitted a loan application to Huaihuang Bank again. Apply to report to Yifeng here, and he approves Tong Guò. According to the information that has come up in Huaihuang's newspaper now, Li Jing is actively recruiting troops and horses, preparing to expand his Daning Town's soldiers and horses to 3,000 men, which completely exceeds the establishment of Daning Town, and Li Jing imitated Yi Feng's previous practice and prepared to recruit the excess 2,000 men and horses in the name of the Daningguan militia, ostensibly to prepare for the prevention of Turkic attacks. Just in case, you can help guard the customs. It's just that Yi Feng knows that Li Jing is just an excuse, he seems to have decided that the big war will burn to Daning Pass, or rather. He was ready to go out of the customs and fight when the time came. Yi Feng didn't have any opinions on these, he couldn't control it before. Now that he has become the general manager of Youzhou, Li Jing belongs to his direct subordinates. For an extra elite soldier and horse, he is naturally happy to see it.

The military workshops in Huaihuang are still working overtime to produce various ordnance weapons. In particular, chariots, arrows, feathers, catapults and other equipment are kept day and night.

The information from Sanfan's side is also not bad, after suffering a big loss from the Tiele people's attack last year, Sanfan is now completely dependent on the Sui Dynasty, and the cooperation with Huaihuang is even more intimate. The Sanfan tribes signed a large number of loan contracts from Yi Feng, and then used these loans to buy weapons and armor from the Huaihuang Military Workshop, and asked Huaihuang's instructors to train soldiers and horses for them. Sanfan was very sensitive to the tense atmosphere on the grassland, and they didn't need to say anything more about Yi Feng, they also knew that a big war was about to begin. Tribes like theirs have always survived in the cracks. At this time, for the sake of their own security and if they want to get a piece of the pie in this war, they must strengthen their strength. Without strength, not only may they be attacked by the Turks again, but they may even be swallowed by the side that wins the big war.

Huaihuang's money is very easy to borrow, and for the Sanfan tribes who ask to borrow money, Yi Feng's request is that those who come will not refuse. Of course, people who open banks are not afraid to borrow money, but it does not mean that they will borrow unconditionally. Sanfan borrowed money from the Northern Bank of Huaihuang, but the money could only be used to purchase various ordnance and other goods for consumption in Huaihuang, and the interest rate on their borrowings was higher than that of ordinary commercial loans, and they had to provide guarantees and sign some additional conditions. The guarantee of Sanfan was their cattle and horses, and the additional condition was that their mines should be open to Huaihuang merchants, allowing Huaihuang merchants to build roads and castle shops in Sanfan, and in addition, the various ministries of Sanfan were open to trade with Huaihuang merchants for all kinds of livestock, herbs, and skins. In short, it was the condition of the guò loan, which allowed them to borrow money and spend it in Huai Huang, while also strengthening the trade relationship between the two sides, breaking the clear boundaries of the past. The tribes in the mountains west of the Xi tribe close to Huaihuang have begun to cooperate with Huaihuang even further, selling many mines and even river valleys directly to Huaihuang, and even letting Huaihuang build castles and set up shops in their territory.

According to this momentum, Huaihuang will be able to infiltrate the territory of Sanfan step by step and strengthen relations, which is a very good situation. Especially now that the imperial court has set up Sanfan as a state of bondage, this situation will go further. In-depth cooperation with Sanfan, the person who will benefit the most will be Huaihuang and Yifeng. According to this trend, sooner or later, Sanfan will become the backyard of Huaifa, the livestock ranch and military horse farm of Huaifa, and even the source of taxes, soldiers, and commodity exports.

There are dozens of letters in the back, from various departments and institutions in Huaihuang, there are big and small things, Yi Feng carefully browsed them, and recorded some of these important things in English in a small book of his own, both for memorization and to prevent leakage. After finishing the memorization, I flipped through the previous records by the way, and in general, a qiē shun lì.

Time passed quickly, and at the end of the day's work, Yi Feng returned to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I found that the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Taifu Temple were busy at the door of the house. When he saw Yi Feng, he reported to him that the emperor's will was because Yi Feng was about to leave Beijing to sit in Youyun, so the emperor considered changing the Zhao Wangbeppu to the temporary Taisun Mansion for the time being. Later, the Taifu Temple will directly build a Taisun Mansion on the vacant land of the Zhao Wangfu given by the previous emperor.

Yi Feng didn't care about this matter, and after a few words with them, he entered the mansion.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Zhongjian, who was a temporary guest butler, immediately came over to inform him: "Your Highness, Sanyan Sanwen has come here and is waiting in the front hall. ”

Sanyan Sanwen is the most famous Yan brothers and Wen three brothers today, Yan Silu, the eldest of the three heroes of the Yan family, Yan Chuchu, the third Yan You Qin, the three brothers of the Wen family, the eldest Wen Yanhong, the second Wen Yanbo, the third Wen Yanjiang, the two brothers, are all selected for the momentary figures, and are called Yan Wen Sanxiong.

Right now, Wen Yanhong, Wen Daya and Yan Silu are both in the East Palace, Wen Yanbo, Wen Dalin and Yan Hanchu are in the same Inner History Province, and Wen Yan will Wen Dayou and Yan You Qin Dian School Secret Pavilion.

Yang Jianli Yi Feng was the grandson, and he also selected a group of outstanding talents as the subordinate officials of the Taisun Mansion, among which the six important ministers of the dynasty were the six masters, which were part-time jobs. In addition, Li Gang and Xue Daoheng, two courtiers with excellent moral ability, were selected to wash the horses for the grandson, and issued an order to summon Bao Kai, the assistant teacher of the Guozi Supervisor, and Wang Tong, the great Confucian of Hedong, to wash the horses for the grandson, and Li Baiyao, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, Du Yan, Kong Yingda, and Wang Qi were the eight people of the Taisun Sheren, and the three brothers of Wen Yan were the Taisun Bachelors.

The four grandsons Li Gang, Xue Daoheng, Bao Kai, and Wang Tong are all very famous Confucian scholars, and the eight grandsons and the six grandsons are all young and handsome, and the scholars of the scholar clan are all young and handsome, and Yang Jian transferred these people to Prince Yifeng's mansion at once, which can be said to be unimportant. However, these people also have a characteristic, most of them are from the Shandong scholars, not from the Guanlong aristocracy, and these people are all famous for their talents, but they are not in the imperial court for any important positions, to put it bluntly, the emperor gave Yi Feng a group of scholars, old scholars and young scholars. Such people are famous, but they are just scholars.
