No one knows what Liu Che and Wei Zifu talked about, and no one knows what the result will be.

It's just that at the court meeting the next day, Liu Che ordered that the meritorious soldiers be rewarded.

How to say this, it's okay to be rewarded now, but the timing is not very appropriate.

Of the 120,000 soldiers who went out, only more than 18,000 have returned, and the main forces of the expedition to the Western Regions are still carrying out their tasks in the Western Regions.

This means that this war is far from over, and in the past, the war was not accepted and would not be rewarded.

But Liu Che just asked people to formulate a reward plan, and it was implemented in batches, only letting people reward the soldiers who came back, and those who were still in the Western Regions would be rewarded after the war.

And after Liu Ponu heard this arrangement, he instantly understood Liu Che's purpose for doing this.

Obviously, the content of Liu Che's conversation with Wei Zifu last night worked, and Liu Che chose to accept Wei Zifu's suggestion.

Although it was actually equivalent to Liu Che accepting Liu Ponu's suggestion, Liu Ponu turned a corner.

Either way, it's a good start.

There is nothing to say about the court meeting, a country has existed for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for earth-shattering things to happen every day.

Maybe a lot of it is indeed a big deal for the people, but for Fang in the court, they have seen a lot of this kind of thing, so they don't think it's a big deal.

First, Liu Ponu and the little mule told some things and insights about the Western Regions, and then Liu Che directly appointed the little mule as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.

And then there was no then, and it was scattered......

Although there are still some deployment arrangements that have not been carried out later, it is only because the process has not yet been completed, and the specific arrangements need to wait until later.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Ponu first followed Liu Che to attend the cabinet meeting, which was held the day before the court meeting.

After all, everyone understands the rules for big and small meetings, small meetings.

This meeting was just an ordinary supplementary meeting, and there were not too many miscellaneous things to be raised, but targeted questions to be discussed.

And the purpose of this meeting is also very simple, to add more Cabinet Members.

The process or something is familiar to everyone, the cabinet of the first assistant Sang Hongyang just routinely said that the cabinet is now lacking an economic cabinet, this vacancy has led to the cabinet can not make a good deployment in economic development and construction, before because of the lack of the Ministry of Commerce, so there was no nomination, now the Ministry of Commerce has a book, so it is proposed that Luo Bing enter the cabinet.

The six cabinet members of the Internal Affairs Pavilion unanimously passed, and then they signed their own signatures, and Liu Che, who had been prepared for a long time, directly took out the seal from his body and stamped it, even if this matter was passed.

All that remains is a matter of the process of archiving, which can be done in less than a day, and when it comes to the next court meeting, the decision will be announced, and after the court meeting, the little mule will be eligible to participate in the cabinet meeting.

After the cabinet meeting ended, Liu Che took Liu Ponu and Sang Hongyang to another courtyard to participate in the military aircraft cabinet meeting.

This meeting was ordered by Liu Ponu yesterday, Liu Che was just very curious, plus he was bored, so he came to take a look.

"I'm really curious how you kid came up with this system?" On the way to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Liu Che once again confided in his doubts.

The biggest advantage of the Internal Affairs Pavilion and the Military Cabinet is that the emperor took back the power, reduced the power of the various departments below, and further strengthened the centralization of power.

Whether it is the Internal Affairs Cabinet or the Military Aircraft Cabinet, everyone is equal here, although the identities are not the same, and the ranks are not the same, but when it comes to the meeting, everyone has a key vote in their hands.

For a proposal to pass, it must be approved by at least four people, and once it passes, even those who have previously voted against it cannot stop it.

In this way, the power of the Internal Affairs Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Pavilion was infinitely increased, and the emperor generally did not participate in this meeting, let alone vote.

But the emperor has a veto in his hands, and you discuss yours, and even if you pass it, it's useless.

This trick makes the people below intrigue at the same time, they must also consider the emperor's attitude, otherwise they can only lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.

"Because I'm lazy, I want to be lazy and I want to hold power, and I don't have enough system to make up, so it's the legendary vegetable and fun-loving ......" Liu Ponu joked with a smile.

Sanghong Sheep ......

It's really like people gather like this, a good emperor, and now he has let the prince bring him like this.

Well, why does that sound like a bit of a problem?

It doesn't seem like there's any problem, isn't the prince blatantly scolding the emperor?

You look at the emperor's smirk, where does this mean to be angry?

While talking and laughing, the three of them had already entered the compound of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

The power that originally belonged to the Ministry of War has been transferred here, and the Ministry of War is more like a place like Shangshu Province, where he does not have direct decision-making power, and only has the right to execute.

Of course, the reduction of the power of the Ministry of War does not mean that the Ministry of War has really been kicked out.

Therefore, Li Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is also a cabinet member of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and he is the first cabinet member in the rank.

The Military Cabinet is generally the same as the Internal Affairs Cabinet, but in fact there are some differences.

As the crown prince, Liu Ponu naturally cannot handle government affairs like Sang Hongyang, and although Sang Hongyang is the second assistant of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Sang Hongyang is also a mascot here, that is, the representative sent here by the Internal Affairs Cabinet, he will not have any opinions on the basic military arrangements, and only when it comes to government affairs, Sang Hongyang will speak and express his position.

Therefore, the Military Aircraft Pavilion also needs an elder who presides over the daily work, so this heavy responsibility falls on Li Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

In the past, this was the position equivalent to the position of Tai Lieutenant, although Li Xi's qualifications were enough, but it gave people a feeling that it was not suitable.

And Li Xi is now old, and he can't go to the front line, so he was arranged here by Liu Che.

And the reason for this arrangement, of course, has another intention, that is, Li Xi is a general who is free from the Weihuo system.

Li Xi joined the army as a young man, served the first emperor, and during the siege of Mayi, Li Xi led an army of 300,000 troops with the general Fuzuo Han Anguo.

In the second year of Yuan Shuo, Liu Che sent Li Xi and Wei Qing to send troops from Dai County and Yunzhong County to the west to jointly attack the Xiongnu, and the two recovered the Hetao area in this battle, and the Han Dynasty established Shuofang County.

In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing led an army of 30,000 to attack Shuofang County, Li Xi, who was a diplomat at the time, and Zhang Cigong, the Marquis of the shore, attacked the right Beiping, covering the court of the right Xian Wang, this battle of the right Xian Wang was caught off guard, only a few hundred people escaped, Li Xi captured more than 15,000 Xiongnu, including the right Xian Pi Wang.

When the evil king of the Xiongnu took refuge in the Han Dynasty, the envoy found Li Xi, who was building a defense on the edge of the Yellow River.

In the sixth year of Yuan Ding (112 years ago), several tribes of the Qiang people resolved their grievances and formed an alliance to secretly collude with the Huns, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Li Xi led the border general Xu Ziwei to lead an army of 100,000 troops, and soon put down the rebellion.

After this battle, the imperial court set up a captain to protect Qiang, and Li Xi led the troops to garrison it.

This garrison was nine years, until Liu Ponu proposed to reform the imperial court, Liu Che thought left and right to find a suitable person, then remembered that this senior is older than Wei Qing, and his military exploits are not bad at all, but Li Xi was robbed of the limelight, so Li Xi was recalled to Chang'an to serve as the secretary of the military department, and entered the military machine pavilion to become the first cabinet.

After Liu Ponu came back, he also briefly learned about Li Xi's past experience, and he could only say that he was born at the wrong time and had bad luck.

Of course, compared to the old unlucky straight male general like Li Guang, Li Xi's fate is undoubtedly much better than him.

From the experience of the early years, it is not difficult to see that the military capabilities of Li Xi and Wei Qing should not be much different at that time, and even if there is really a gap, it should not be so big.

And the reason why Li Xi failed to rise was basically because he debuted too early, and Liu Che trusted Wei Qing too much, so under these two factors, he plundered some of Li Xi's luck.

Although Li Xi still maintained enough stability in the back, who would have thought that Dahan had another Huo Qu's illness, so Li Xi could only continue to be willing to be a green leaf.

Then the guard Huo Du died, Li Xi finally waited for his turnaround, and the battle with the Qiang people was also very beautiful, but then there was no chance to fight the Xiongnu, so he could only be stationed in the place of the Qiang people to guard them.

Looking at the white-haired Li Xi, Liu Ponu finally understood why Liu Che did not use this veteran with good ability after Li Guangli's defeat.

Because of their age, the problem of identity when they were young was pressed, and they finally survived to death, and as a result, they were also old.

Looking at it this way, Liu Che's arrangement is very interesting.

There are not no people who are more in line with the first cabinet of the Military Aircraft Pavilion than Li Xi, such as Wei Qing's subordinates, Gongsun Ao, such as Li Fu, and Huo Quai's subordinates Zhao Ponu, Lu Bode, and so on.

But His Excellency the Interior is basically Huo Guang, which is a well-known thing.

Therefore, in terms of the Military Machine Pavilion, it is necessary to find a way to put aside the Wei Huo Group and find a third force with the old qualifications to take the position, so as to confront Wei Huo's successor Huo Guang, so as not to let Huo Guang alone take charge of the military and political power.

Although Liu Che has never been worried, he has never failed to take any precautions.

Liu Ponu's military reform is clearly aimed at those old military nobles, how could Liu Che drop the chain at this critical moment?

After all, Li Xi himself has made great achievements, even if Wei Qing sees it, he has to respectfully call General Li, no one can be more suitable for this position than Li Xi.
