In the next three days, Yuan Qi was very busy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He must ensure that the defense of the capital is above a certain level within these three days, otherwise, Li Dao Guo Yan or others will come to the cholera capital division again, and this time it will not be in vain.

When Zhang Ji led his men to the capital, Yuan Qi took Zhang Ji to meet Yuan Xie, stating that Zhang Ji was a rare upright man in the Western Liang army, different from other brutal and unkind Xiliang warlords, and strongly recommended Zhang Ji to guard Chang'an to resist the possible rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan. After talking with Zhang Ji for a long time, Yuan Xie also felt that Zhang Ji was honest and reliable, so he agreed to Yuan Qi's recommendation, named Zhang Ji as the general of Anxi, and led his troops to guard Chang'an. Zhang Ji was also grateful for the reuse of Yuan Xie, patting his chest and promising that he would never let Li Dao and Guo Yan take half a step across Chang'an. After that, Zhang Ji rested in the capital for two days, and then led people to take office immediately.

After Zhang Ji left, Yuan Qi went to visit his uncle Wang Mi again. Yuan Qi knew that Wang Mi was an official fan, and he had been in the capital for decades, just to be able to mix an official and a half-job, and to be able to seal his wife and son in the future. Yuan Qi grasped the characteristic of Wang Mi, and took the holy decree of Yuan Xie and directly gave him an official position as the commander of the imperial guard. This official position, which was not available before, was a newly established official position under the Yuan Xie's proposition, mainly responsible for the daily security of the emperor. Wang Mi's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and he can be used as a personal bodyguard, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents and materials. At the same time, all the disciples in the Wang Mijian Pavilion were wiped out by Yuan Qi. They were all given the identity of a royal guard, led by Wang Mi, to jointly protect the personal safety of Yuan Xie. Yuan Qi also recommended Buqu, who saved his life in the capital, to Yuan Xie, and praised Buqu's loyalty and righteousness. Yuan Xie saw that Buqu's martial arts were good, and he liked it very much in his heart, so he immediately granted the position of deputy commander of Buqu's imperial guard. In this way, a team with Wang Mi as the main and Buqu as the auxiliary, plus hundreds of Wang Mi's disciples, Yuan Qi selected more than 100 elite soldiers from the Song Qiong and Song Xi brothers, and made up the number of 500 to form a team of imperial guards. This team. Known as the Imperial Forest Army, it is directly commanded by the Yuan Association, and no other people's orders will be followed.

After the external invasion and the immediate safety of Yuan Xie were resolved, Yuan Qi turned his attention to the city defense. After discussion with Yuan Xie, the two brothers finally finalized. Huang Fuchu concurrently served as Henan Yin, responsible for commanding and training recruits stationed in the capital. These recruits were all newly recruited after Dong Meng's rebellion, and the number was not too many, only about 3,000. But Yuan Qi believed that if these 3,000 people were put in the hands of Huangfu Chu, over time, they would definitely burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.

Other than that. On the military side, at the suggestion of Yuan Qi, Yuan Xie abolished the Xiyuan Lieutenant Army. These people are all the sons and daughters of various families, not to mention the terrible low combat effectiveness, and they will also bring all kinds of bad tendencies to the army. Yuan Xie ordered the establishment of a new forbidden army, with Zhu Huan as the main general, Song Qiong and Song Xi brothers as deputies, most of the soldiers of this forbidden army were also newly recruited, and a small part were veterans loyal to the Yuan clan who survived the Dong Meng Rebellion. Bringing the old with the new can also quickly allow the recruits to adapt to military life. The number of the forbidden army was temporarily maintained at about 10,000, and it was responsible for responding to various emergencies and guarding the safety of the capital.

After all aspects of the problems were solved one by one, Yuan Qi was relieved. Counting up, Yuan Xie now directly and indirectly commanded more than 13,000 soldiers and horses, although not too many, but it should still be possible to defend the capital, not to mention that there are famous generals like Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan from the side, father Yuan Ying and Zhong Xuan and other ministers to give advice, coupled with the sturdiness and majesty of the capital, it is basically impossible to forcibly break through the capital in a short time.

After arranging all the questions that could be thought of, it was already the night of the third day. Yuan Qi held two jars of burning knives and wine, went straight to the palace, and before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to Yuan Xie in private, without anyone disturbing him.

When Yuan Qi walked to the door of Yuan Xie's bedroom, Wang Mi's figure flashed out of nowhere, and shouted coldly: "Stop!" Yuan Qi laughed secretly in his heart, is it quite fast for his uncle to enter the role, it is really suitable to be a personal bodyguard for Yuan Xie. Raising his head, Yuan Qi smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, it's so-and-so." ”

After seeing that the person who came was Yuan Qi, Wang Mi put away his guard look, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Yuan Junhou, just now the saint was still talking about Junhou, Junhou go in." "Although Yuan Qi is Wang Mi's nephew, but Wang Mi is good at everything, but there is one point, he is obsessed with official positions to the bones, since he was named the commander of the imperial guards by Yuan Xie, he no longer refuses to call Yuan Qi's nephew, but changes his mouth to call Yuan Qi a prince, which shows that he is quite clear about the distinction between respect and inferiority in the officialdom. Yuan Qi had also asked Wang Mi to change back to his previous title many times before, but Wang Mi insisted on refusing.

Shaking his head helplessly, he stepped into the dormitory. All the objects inside and outside the dormitory were all replaced, because Yuan Xie really couldn't tolerate using the things that Dong Meng had used.

Walking into the dormitory, Yuan Qi saw Yuan Xie sitting on a rocking chair with his back to him, looking at the night sky in a daze. Yuan Qi quietly walked to Yuan Xie's side, reached out and patted Yuan Xie's shoulder hard, and said, "What do you think? ”

As he spoke, Yuan Qi opened the two jars of burning knife wine in his hand and handed them to Yuan Xie. Yuan Xie didn't pick it up, but looked at Yuan Qi in a daze, as if he wanted to see the flowers on Yuan Qi's face.

"What's wrong? Is it true that flowers have grown on a certain face?" Yuan Qi said with a chuckle.

Yuan Xie shook his head slowly, and said with a serious look: "Brother Huang, sometimes I think about what it would be like if I hadn't met you. Will you become Dong Meng's puppet, or will you have already lost your life? If I hadn't met you, would I have become a king of the dead country?"

Yuan Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect that at Yuan Xie's age, he would be so sentimental, and sighed, Yuan Xie's tone was a bit young and old: "Brother Huang, many people tell me that I shouldn't trust you too much, some people say that you have self-respect, and once you are full-fledged in the future, you will definitely establish yourself as the king and drive me off the throne." ”

Yuan Qi smiled, picked up the wine jar and drank a big sip of wine, and asked, "Then according to you, will there be that day?"

Yuan Xie didn't answer Yuan Qi's words directly, he looked at Yuan Qi's eyes fixedly, and said softly: "All my skills are taught by you, if there is one day, I must not be your opponent." ”

Yuan Qi laughed, and while laughing, he sang loudly: "Ten thousand volumes of poems, thousands of pots of wine, how many times have you looked at King Hou!"

Yuan Xie followed Yuan Qi's chant and repeated it, savoring the artistic conception in Yuan Qi's words. After a long time, Yuan Xie suddenly smiled, and his eyebrows looked very relaxed: "Brother Huang, I have never called me in front of you, because I have always felt that you are like a benevolent brother, teaching me all kinds of skills, you may not know, from the first time I saw you, I felt something in you, which I had never felt before I met you, that is, the warmth of family affection." "Yuan Xie's words are very straightforward, since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, even if Yuan Hong was good to Yuan Xie when he was alive, it is impossible to compare with the father-son love of ordinary people.

The night was deep, but the two brothers in the dormitory were not sleepy, after the heart-to-heart conversation just now, Yuan Xie completely opened his heart to Yuan Qi, and the relationship between the two brothers became closer. Yuan Xie learned from Yuan Qi's appearance, picked up the wine jar and poured wine one after another, not for a long time, Yuan Xie was already a little drunk, his little face was crimson, he reached out and grabbed Yuan Qi's arm, and said with a little drunkenness: "Brother Huang, in other days, if I can't revive the Yuan family, you will ascend the throne in Youzhou and become the emperor, and hand over the ancestors of the past dynasties to you, I am willing." ”

Yuan Qi was suddenly startled, reached out and stroked Yuan Xie's head with some guilt, and said softly: "Silly boy, you are drunk......"
