Leaving the city.

Today's prefect palace is no longer what Luo Chuan looked like when he came on the last time. Not only did he have to repair all the building gaps that need to be repaired, he also put lights on and decorated the atmosphere of the New Year. It is impossible to see that he had experienced the difficulty of changing hands not long ago.

However, the number of palace guards and court attendants is still not large. Fortunately, there are not many people in the prefect's palace that need to be taken care of except for the newly ascended prefect. Everyone just surrounded such a noble person and seemed to be a little popular.

Most of the courtyards in the harem are empty now. The few women who were originally the former prefect were arranged to a certain area and still live a life of food and clothing. However, compared to the past, they naturally lack a lot of glory. After all, if the second young master Yun ascended the throne, at least they would have a little bond with these nominal concubines, but now this person is unknown to anyone.

So they could only walk more into the garden, and they let go of many of the disputes and resentments they had in the past, and became much more harmonious.

But on this day, all the women were told by the chief servant that it was best not to go out, and not to come to the garden, because the prefect wanted to invite important officials here.

The prefect's banquet for guests naturally sounds extremely grand, but it is not the case in the current situation. He is even a little stingy to the eyes of many palace servants. He just set up some tables in a huge water palace in the garden. Each person prepared a few dishes and a plate of fruit on the table, and even if it was done, Gao Shixian, who had brought in several important officials in the court, felt embarrassed.

But the important officials all looked as usual, as if they had known this arrangement.

This water palace is built on the lake and is very cleverly built. It has windows on all sides and the windows are on the ground. Now when it is opened, the scenery of the entire garden is mostly in sight. When a group of important officials were brought in by Gao Shixian, Luo Chuan, who was sitting on the head, was leaning against the couch, turning his head and smiling at the scenery outside the window. He turned around and said, "All the Lords."

He smiled and pointed to the three young men and girls who were arguing about how to fish by the lake outside the window and said, "Look, I invited three guests to the prefect's palace for the New Year. After a major official, a silversmith's daughter, and a gangster's only son, three children who don't know much about each other's life experiences. The gap in identity seems so big, but they become friends. This is the case with impermanence in the world."

Several important officials in the court followed the direction he pointed out, but for a while, they couldn't figure out the point that the prefect wanted to say, and no one answered.

Luo Chuan didn't care, but just waved his hand to let everyone sit down, then raised his glass and said, "It was already the New Year, but I still called you from home to discuss matters. It's really a bit unkind. I'll have a drink first and wish you all the best in the coming year."

The important officials quickly raised their glasses and drank all the wine.

Luochuan drank all the wine like he was, and his eyes swept across the hall. There were four people on the right, namely the current county magistrate Zuoheng, Licheng General Qin Ao, and the two former generals of Ganyuan who returned to Licheng with him. There were six people on the left, namely Dou Qiushi, the head of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the

He spoke again, this time he reached the topic, "I'm summoning you to the palace for discussion this time because everyone knows that after this year, I'll go south again. Before going south, I'll solve the follow-up matters of the Northern Expedition and the important issues accumulated in the court. I know that after today's agreement, it will still be implemented after the New Year, but there was a resolution earlier, everyone can consider more in order to prepare for the whole year."

A group of important officials saluted and said that they were.

Luo Chuan said again, "Let's start with the Military Affairs Office."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Heng, who was at the top of the military general sequence, had not spoken yet. Qin Ao, who was standing behind him, suddenly stood up and knelt out of the line and bowed and said with a great tribute, "I would like to ask the prefect and the county magistrate to forgive me for being rude," he raised his head and met Luo Chuan's eyes with a sincere face. "Prefect, I am old, especially the old prefect's departure, which has also caused me to be quite hit. I have always felt tired recently and it is difficult to take on the important task of defending the territory. Now, the prefect has just ascended the throne, and I should not make this request, but the defense of the city is of great importance and cannot make any mistakes. I have no choice but to resign at this time. I hope the prefect will be kind to me to return to Ganyuan for retirement...!"

The hall was silent after saying something.

Qin Ao didn't look up, just waited quietly.

After a while, Luo Chuan sighed, "It turns out that my father's death has hurt General Qin so much. I care too little about it. But since General Qin has said that I should agree. Lord Zuo, General Qin has made outstanding achievements in his ten years of guarding the city. This time, he will return with honor, and the military affairs office must also take care of General Qin. "

"The old minister obeys the prefect's order," Zuo Heng stood up and saluted, and then asked, "Prince, since General Qin is about to retire, the position of General Licheng will be vacant. You need to choose a loyal and calm person to take on it. It was difficult for a suitable person to be selected for a while, but since General Luo has stepped down as General Ganyuan, it is also appropriate to succeed General Licheng."

"General Luo is loyal, brave and steady, it is indeed appropriate," Luo Chuan was too lazy to say anything in the scene, and said bluntly, "What do you think?"

The important officials knew very well that they would not say anything about such a thing. This change of generals, which would inevitably shock the entire army, became a fixed number. Luo Jiang waited until everyone agreed to leave and thanked him.

Zuo Heng still did not return to his position, but continued, "Mr. Prefect, this Northern Expedition has not yet been opened for 900 years. Although this statement is a little beyond the rules, the fact is that it is of great significance to expand the territory. In accordance with your promise from the soldiers before you set out, the Military Affairs Office has been stepping up the sorting and calculating the military merits of each department. Most of them have no doubts. There are only a few key positions that need to be decided by the Prefect himself."

"Please tell me, Lord Zuo," Luo Chuan was actually a little tired of these programmatic things, but it was inevitable.

Zuo Heng took out a notebook from his sleeve and opened it, "First of all, he attacked Anling and defeated Nancheng, Chunyang City and Roucheng, and destroyed half of Anling County with one army. His benefits and results were of great success to the war situation, and the Military Affairs Office suggested that he be appointed as the general, the baron of Jin, and the land of Ganyuan was ten miles long. I wonder what the prefect thinks?"

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I know the achievements of Jingzhi, but it is not appropriate for him to be promoted to the position of general as soon as he was promoted from a general to a general. This battle is just the first step for me to get out of the mountains from the county. There are more opportunities to win military achievements in the future. However, the title is just a baron..." He looked at the expressions of the important officials present and asked slowly, "Is it too few?"

After asking, the hall was quiet.
