There were no waves on the way back to Sichuan and Shu, and the attention of the Jin Kingdom was now focused on the outside of the pass, and with the skills of Yao Ruoyu and others, they could easily bypass the Jin State scouts along the way.

When they passed through Ganzi, they found that this place had been incorporated into the territory of Wenbang.

It was also idle and boring, and when a few people settled down in the inn, they asked Xiao Er, only to know that two months ago, the Ganzi tribes who were beaten to the head and bleed decided to make a desperate bet and gathered an army in Langduo City to start a final decisive battle with the Mandarin Duck Army.

The battle lasted for three days, and in the end, it ended with the real bones being killed by Xi Shi, and the Ganzi troops who saw that the general trend had gone had to surrender all, and the Mandarin Duck army also took advantage of the situation to occupy the last territory of Ganzi.

At present, Wang Dehou, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials on behalf of Xu Xuanrong because of Xu Xuanrong's long journey, has led people to various places in Ganzi to publicize the laws and policies of Wenbang in accordance with the plan formulated by Xu Xuanrong before, and win the hearts of the people as quickly as possible.

Because they knew that everything was going well in Ganzi, Yao Ruoyu and the others did not stop, and traveled all the way east, returning to Chengdu Mansion two days later.

However, when they entered the city, there was an ugly and strong man wearing Liao costumes among them, which was when they left Western Liao, they met a general of the Five Realms, who was dying because of serious injuries.

This person should be the military general of Western Liao, because after learning about the surrender of Western Liao, he was depressed for a long time, and did not recover until he was about to arrive in Ganzi.

This time, he followed Yao Ruoyu and others to Wenbang, and the other party accepted Yao Ruoyu's invitation and promised to join the literary army.

After entering the city, Yao Ruoyu and the others did not stop at all, and went straight back to the palace of King Wen and summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss matters in the Qiantian Palace.

A quarter of an hour later, the civil and military ministers who had hurried to receive the message gathered in the Qiantian Palace, and saw Yao Ruoyu, who had disappeared for several months, with different expressions, among which the expressions were either disdainful or dissatisfied, most of them were some unfamiliar faces.

Since the opening of the first Hundred Schools, Wenbang has recruited a large number of scholars, some of whom are from Confucianism, some from vertical and horizontal families, some from Legalists, and some have no specific factions at all, and they have the academic teachings of many schools.

After everyone arrived, Yao Ruoyu rang the golden bell on the table with a golden hammer and said loudly: "Since everyone has arrived, then this meeting will officially begin." ”

This time, Yao Ruoyu did not let Chen Meng preside over the meeting as before, but looked around directly at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Before this king traveled far away, he appointed Minister Song to convey several decrees on behalf of this king. ”

As he spoke, he had already looked at Xu Xuanrong, who would also be surprised, walked to the high platform and turned to face the ministers, took out an edict from his sleeve, and read aloud these newly canonized official candidates.

According to the nine-rank official rank system, the six ministries will each add two deputy ministers, adding up to twelve people, each of whom is amazingly powerful, so even if Xu Xuanrong is in charge of Wenbang and has won Yao Ruoyu's trust, he is unwilling to decide this edict alone.

The 12 people who were awarded the title of vice ministers this time, according to the six ranks of officials, soldiers, households, rites, criminal punishments, and workers, are Wang Dehou, Yang Jialiang, Chu Jiang, Chu He, Fan Hua, Cao Jun, Xu Yanli, Tang Daoyuan, Yang Feng, Chen Jinbo, Wu Xuan, and Zhao Tietong.

Wang Dehou is Bai Junru's fifth apprentice, he was originally the director of the Jixun Hall, Xu Xuanrong was in charge of the Ministry of Officials before he left for a long time, and this time he was also logically promoted to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Chu Jiang and Chu He were originally Yang Renjie's two uncles, and they were extremely proficient in military and political affairs.

Fan Hua, Cao Jun, Yang Feng, Chen Jinbo, and Wu Xuan are all veterans of Wenbang, and their abilities are not top-notch, but they are superior in terms of seniority and ability, so it is logical that they will be promoted to vice ministers.

Zhao Tietong, as the person in charge of the establishment of the branch sent by the Iron Furnace Fort, himself has an official title in the Ministry of Commerce, and this time through the reform, he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, which can be regarded as Yao Ruoyu and others in order to divide the power of the Dali remnants in the Ministry of Industry.

As for Yang Jialiang, Tang Daoyuan, and Xu Yanli, they are all scholars who volunteered to work in Wenbang after the hundred forums because of Wenbang's attitude of tolerating all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought and the eclectic style of appointing talents.

In addition to the three of them, there are Tian Cai, Gu Zhiwen, Wan Congee, Jin An, Mu Jing, Pu Fu, Sheng Chengcai, Dai Xiaoyun and others, all of whom are from the five schools of Confucianism, Zongheng, Medicine, Law, and Agriculture.

Most of these people are young people, only Tang Daoyuan is over the middle of the year, before he came to Wenbang, he is a famous Confucian in the Raozhou area of Jiangxi Road, known as "Raozhou Immortal Peach", not only to learn rich five cars, but also to educate people is the top, there have been seven Zhixian and two Zhizhou, Hangdu Bailu Academy has invited him to serve as a teacher several times, but unfortunately every time this person refused.

So when he entered Shu, he once caused a wave in the Song Dynasty, some scolded this person for not knowing what to do, some insulted this person for taking refuge in Wenbang, who had a wolf appearance, and of course there were also young scholars who followed him into Shu.

With this person's knowledge, even as a minister, it is more than enough, but at present, none of the six ministers have made any mistakes, so he can only temporarily let this person be relegated to the position of deputy minister.

Seeing that every time Xu Xuanrong said that one person walked out of the queue, Yao Ruo sighed stupidly.

Although he relied on the hundred pulpits to recruit countless scholars to enter Shu and go out, but the soldiers and Mo families that he looked forward to the most did not have any students to enter Sichuan, the former is because he needs to be good at fighting and fighting many battles to become a great weapon, so there are few heirs, and some have long been co-opted by the major forces in China, and the latter is purely unwilling to associate with Wenbang.

For some reason, the Mo family's attitude towards Wen Bang has always maintained a sense of distance, even if Mo Shu helped on his behalf, Yao Ruoyu finally failed to wait for the Mo family's answer.

Of course, God closes a door for you, and will inevitably open a window for you, although Yao Ruoyu failed to reach a cooperation agreement with the Mo family, but there is a Jianghu sect that took the initiative to show goodwill, that is, Thunderbolt Hall in Yi'an County, Jiangxi Road.

Perak Hall and the Mo family are also located on Jiangxi Road, and they are also the forces that develop organs and ordnance, but it is a pity that the Mo family has accumulated for thousands of years, and has always pressed the Perak Hall.

When the job arrangement was completed, Yao Ruoyu nodded at Chen Meng, who understood, and immediately announced the official start of the meeting according to the usual practice.

After the affairs were dealt with, Yao Ruoyu's expression slowly became solemn, seeing him like this, everyone was also heartbroken, knowing that Yao Ruoyu would get down to business.

"Seven days ago, the Western Liao Kingdom surrendered, and all of them, including the Empress Dowager Xiao, who had the cultivation of the Eight Realms, surrendered to the Jin Kingdom," Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice after looking around at the people whose faces suddenly changed drastically, "In other words, the current Jin Kingdom already has two Eight Realms, and has added 80,000 elite Liao troops who are brave and good at fighting. ”

Song Kai bowed his hand, and now his face was a little more condensed, and he said solemnly: "This matter is urgent, you must notify the Great Song immediately, if you are not prepared, I am afraid that Chongqing Mansion Road will be difficult to resist the Jin State soldiers." ”

Yao Ruoyu bowed his head lightly and said, "On the way back, I have already discussed with Minister Xu, and now the army of the Jin State should still be stranded outside the Saiwai, and we need to inform the Great Song as soon as possible, and it is best to launch a surprise attack before they return to the Jin Kingdom." ”

Looking at Bai Qiuyu, Yao Ruoyu said solemnly: "Minister Bai, the Ministry of Rites quickly wrote a letter to inform Xu Jingmiao, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Chongqing Mansion, and Chu Yangge, the commander of the Yanggu Army. ”

Bai Qiuyu hurriedly received the order, but Song Kai suddenly sneered and said coldly: "There is no need to write a letter so troublesomely. ”

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, and saw that Bai Qiuyu, Duan Shaojie and others were also at a loss, only Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and others showed a little weird smile, and suddenly realized faintly in their hearts, and said with a smile: "What do you say?"

"Chu Zheng is in Chengdu Mansion," Yang Renjie hugged his arms and said with a wicked smile, "Just call him over." ”

Yao Ruo was stunned, then came to his senses, couldn't help but look at Song Kai with a wicked smile, and teased: "No wonder that guy Wu Xue didn't even come to welcome me back." ”

Seeing that Song Kai's face suddenly became gloomy, Yao Ruoyu snickered twice before he ordered Chen Meng to send someone to call Chu Zheng to see him.

Subsequently, Yao Ruoyu issued a series of orders, led by the Ministry of War, informing the garrisons of various states and the three major military regions of Pengzhou, Liangzhou, and Dazhou to reorganize their troops and horses and prepare for the war at any time.

As soon as the civil and military ministers dispersed, the figures of Chu Zheng and Wu Xue appeared at the door of the hall, and Song Kai, who had not yet left, saw that his eyes became more and more cloudy, and he could see that Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Chen Meng and others were very happy.

When he first entered the palace, Chu Zheng thought that Yao Ruoyu wanted to meddle in his pursuit of Wu Xue, but before he could open his mouth, he learned the news that Western Liao was annexed by the Jin State from Yao Ruoyu, and he couldn't help but be shocked for a while.

can be ranked among the splendid conspiracy list, Chu Zheng's strategy is naturally the top in the world, although he can only be regarded as the bottom of the top ten people because of his lack of practical experience, but his eyesight and wisdom are still enough to overlook ordinary people.

The moment he knew the news, Chu Zheng had already analyzed the various consequences of this matter, and he didn't care about continuing to pursue Wu Xue, so he hurriedly bowed, hurriedly said goodbye, and returned directly to Chongqing Mansion.

Seeing that Song Kai's face only improved slightly after Chu Zheng left, Yao Ruoyu smiled dumbly, and was about to tease him for a few words, when Chen Meng, who was standing beside him with a knife, suddenly came over and whispered a few words, and suddenly his face changed, frowned and asked rhetorically, and immediately got up after getting the answer, and floated straight out of the hall.
