In less than a year, two consecutive Taifu have submitted their resignations, which is also a rare thing.

For the officials of all sizes in the imperial court, although this matter is somewhat unusual, it is not surprising, and for the people under the rule of the imperial court, who is the prince has no impact on them at all.

And for some scholars who don't like Liu Xuan, it's just another incident that can attack today's stupidity, and they can still only talk nonsense in the streets, and it is difficult to really have any substantial impact on the imperial court.

At the same time, the court also had mixed reactions to Wang Yun's departure, and the courtiers of the Son of Heaven faction naturally didn't care, Wang Yun was not a fellow traveler with them, but now he was able to take the initiative to leave, which saved a lot of trouble.

For some of the old ministers led by Wang Yun, they have fallen into the embarrassing situation of having no leader, and the recent decrees implemented by the Son of Heaven are becoming more and more difficult for them to understand, but after these decrees are issued, there are really people who can implement them, which makes their situation more and more embarrassing.

With Wang Yun's departure, these people became even more flustered, for fear that if they continued like this, they would be devalued because they had no achievements without waiting for their resignation, and then stay away from the center of the Han court.

"This situation must change!"

Almost everyone thought this in their hearts, but how to change? How to change? They never had a clue, and among them, some officials from families who rarely went out to check and were just mingling in their own small circle.

At this time, although Liu Xuan knew their pain, he didn't have the slightest intention of reaching out.

"If these people are self-conscious, they should resign quickly, and maybe they can take the opportunity to become a rich man!"

Now that civil affairs are in ruins, it is impossible for Liu Xuan to grasp everything in the hands of the imperial court, as long as these people are sharp-eyed and follow the right direction, then it is not difficult to earn a wealth that can not be spent in several lifetimes for future generations.

But if you keep standing firm in the court, you probably won't be able to get anything in the end - not only will you not be able to do it anymore, but you won't even have a chance to make money.

Nowadays, with the official issuance of coins, the development of animal husbandry and wine-making are still under the supervision of the imperial court, but it is almost a matter of time before they are gradually distributed to private operators.

At the same time, the rise of people's living standards has also made every household have surplus money, Liu Xuan can not sit idly by and watch this wealth has been piling up in the people, he must find a way to stimulate the circulation of wealth - not that this can form a healthy financial system, but that if the people always hold on to money and do not spend it, many industries will not be able to drive.

What's more, after the common people have something to do and enough entertainment to satisfy their spiritual needs, they will not go to the mess of things.

"By the way, the prince resigned and retired, so who is Your Majesty going to take over the post of the prince?"

Originally, none of Liu Xuan's women were interested in things such as the court and military strategy, but Liu Xuan was doing these things all day long, and he himself was not highly accomplished in some traditional literature, so it was inevitable to talk about these things when chatting.

Speaking of Wang Yun's resignation, Cai Yan asked curiously on the side.

It's not necessarily an idea, it's just pure curiosity.

As far as she knows, there are fewer and fewer old ministers in the court, and the few old ministers mean that most of them are young people who are not prestigious, but the position of the Taifu is too high, and those who lack prestige may be difficult to convince the public.

Thinking about it, maybe only a few people such as Ma Riyan and Zhao Qi can meet the requirements, even if it is his father Cai Yong, because he has not made much achievements in political affairs, it is already extremely reluctant to do the three dukes, how can he be appointed to the position of Taifu ?..., Taifu again, although there is no real power in his hands, but he is strong at this point, he is not specifically responsible for anything, so that he has the power to participate in various things, even if it is a military strategy Taifu can also put forward his own profile for the emperor's reference.

Therefore, ordinary people really can't deserve this position.

Liu Xuan thought about it, these civil and military generals in his hands are not unsuitable for Taifu, among them Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and so on.

But Liu Bei himself has already decided to let him take over Zongzheng Temple and be in charge of the imperial affairs.

Cao Cao is currently focusing on military affairs, and he can't get out of it.

Guo Jia and Liu Ye's qualifications and prestige are not enough, so it is basically impossible for Taifu to use his own people in this position.

And the old man has no effect, so Liu Xuan made a decision from the beginning of receiving Wang Yun's recital: Taifu is temporarily vacant, no one should think about it!

"There is no suitable person at the moment, and that position does not have to be filled by someone, so let's just leave it empty first!"

As soon as Liu Xuan said this, Cai Yan naturally wouldn't ask again, she just asked casually on the spot, but she didn't care if Liu Xuan answered or not.

"By the way, there will be another war next year, right?"

Diao Chan looked at Liu Xuan, although he knew that Liu Xuan's strength was outstanding, but he was still a little worried when he thought of it.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Looking at Diao Chan's worried look, Liu Xuan smiled and comforted.

Although the imperial court seems to be calm, the preparations for war have not been concealed at all, and I believe that at this time, not only everyone in the imperial court knows, but even the local princes in Jiangdong, Hebei and other places also know that the imperial court is preparing for a large-scale war.

Yuan Shao also responded to this - almost immediately recruited soldiers and conducted training under the condition of stabilizing Youzhou, and at the same time sent his generals Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, and Liyi to several key places, so as not to suddenly send troops to catch him off guard.

In addition, there has been almost no news related to Yuan Shao himself in recent times, Liu Xuan guessed that this must be related to Zuo Ci, but he didn't know what this guy was tossing.

Because Zuo Ci is different from Nanhua, he really can't think of what means Zuo Ci will use to oppose him.

That Nanhua is for the power of faith, and wants to use the power of countless believers to improve his strength in order to impact a higher level, but Zuo Ci believes in escapism and cultivation, and he has almost no need for such a thing as the power of faith.

If he doesn't cultivate the power of faith, he won't 'give' his followers or his subordinates the power beyond ordinary people through himself like Nanhua, then Yuan Shaojun is still just an ordinary prince, and the soldiers under his account are still ordinary people.

"This kind of guy can really stop the imperial army?"

In the midst of the puzzle, Liu Xuan was also a little more careful, since Zuo Ci has always been steadily suppressing Nanhua, he must have unique skills, but he can't look down on this guy just because he is a more awesome immortal, and then capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, during this time, while stepping up the collection of news and intelligence about Hebei, he focused on improving his cultivation, and at the same time, he was also urging the generals under his account to work hard to cultivate.

Among them are Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who have just come to defect!

Although Zhao Yun came with Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun was arranged into the forbidden army as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and began to carry out basic cultivation by the way, and all the treatment looked no different from the usual forbidden army captain, but in fact, he had been classified as one of the generals who were close to the Son of Heaven.

This point, several generals under Liu Xuan are clear, so they also take more care of Zhao Yun, for example, Huang Zhong introduced Zhao Yun to settle down next door to him, and at the same time, Liu Bei also ran over from time to time to see if Zhao Yun was adapting. ..., of course, these two people are also worthy of Liu Xuan's cronies, every time they talk to Zhao Yun, they will say explicitly or implicitly that Zhao Yun will get this treatment, it is all at the behest of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven values Yunyun very much to you.

These words, although they will not make Zhao Yun grateful or even repay him with death, but he will also have a kind of grace of knowing in the future, at least he will not feel unhappy staying here in the court and want to leave.

Except for Zhao Yun, the rest of the generals have been serving in the forbidden army for quite some time, but whether to make a transfer, Liu Xuan and Cao Cao are still discussing.

For example, does Xiahou Yuan, who has been guarding the Slope Valley, want to be transferred back to participate in this big battle?

Liu Xuan felt that it was indeed inappropriate to always throw such a general in that corner of the place, and transferring him back would also give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, but who would take over the defense of Xiegu had become a difficult problem.

"The minister thinks that Li Dian, Le Jin, and Pang De will take over, and then lead the troops to station in Tianshui together with Wei Xu and Zang Ba, so that they can take into account the direction of the valley!"

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Jia gave his own suggestion, these three people have recently joined the forbidden army for a relatively short time, and although they have already started to cultivate, they are obviously not suitable to directly participate in the big war next year.

There is no doubt that next year's battle will be dominated by the three elite soldiers and horses of Yulin, Tiger Ben and Tiger Leopard, supplemented by the forbidden army, and at the same time the generals who have been with the Son of Heaven for a long time will be the main force.

For example, those who have just defected, I am afraid that except for Gongsun Zhan, who will go out with the army because he is more familiar with Hebei and the northeast region, most of them will work on the second line even if they go on the expedition - that is, escorting supplies from the rear to the front, and at the same time maintaining the stability of the occupied area.

Rather than this, it is better to let those more talented people lead the army to defend one side alone, which can be regarded as an experience. At the same time, their ability also ensures that even if something happens, they can deal with it, so as not to cause chaos in the front and back, resulting in the inability to take care of both ends.

Liu Xuan finally agreed to this suggestion, and in this way, the generals who will participate in the Battle of Hebei next year have basically been determined.

Cao Cao will undoubtedly be the commander-in-chief, and Lü Bu may not be involved in this war.

In addition to the commanders and captains of the four elite soldiers and horses, the partial generals Xiahou Yuan, the generals Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun and a number of captains: Xiahouen, Yu Ban, Yang Ding, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, and Cao De will all participate in this battle.

As for the troops, Liu Xuan will not use too much, and it will only be more than 100,000 to die, maybe it is very small compared to Yuan Shao's army of nearly one million, but if they really fight, they will find that even if the two sides point up a head-to-head confrontation, the one million army will not want to take advantage of the slightest advantage.

After all this work, autumn has passed, and the arrival of winter is like the last calm before the storm, and at the same time, Zhang Ji brought himself and Huang Chengyan's family to Chang'an.
