Leaving the city, in front of the main hall of the prefect's palace, Luo Chuan and Luo Jiang circled around the huge bronze tripod that seemed to be rooted as if they were not shaken. Gao Shixian was waiting not far away, and Siqi went to the small courtyard where she belonged to the harem, thinking about whether the flowers in her yard were taken care of enough these days, and the shadow disappeared when he was nowhere to go.

While looking at the delicate and mysterious texture on the giant tripod in front of him, Luo Chuan reached out and stroked it, as if he was trying to find some mechanism. "The Yao Sheng you are talking about is the commander of the Licheng Garrison Army, then when our coalition forces headed south, was he in the Cavalry City or Licheng?"

"In Licheng, he was originally the commander under Lu Yinbao's command. Meng Fanxing controlled the garrison army in the name of Luo Yun. Lu Yinbao was used by him. The only one among the subordinate commanders who resisted his life but refused to obey was Yao Sheng," Luo Jiang walked beside Luo Chuan and said, "Lu Yinbao and him had not made any difficulties for many years, but they just temporarily imprisoned him. Meng Fanxing could not tolerate it. Not only did he order people to take the punishment and beat him seriously, but he also sent people to kill him secretly. Fortunately, the old chariot secretly rescued him and hid him in the underground dark room for treatment. He lived until after you ascended the throne."

"Bo Jiang, you and him are also old acquaintances?" Luo Chuan asked again.

Luo Jiang nodded, "It's a little brother brought out by a few of us old brothers from Baitong. In the friendship on the battlefield, our group of old people are now in this city army. Even if I want to promote, they themselves are unwilling to do so. They are old and there is no need to compete with young people for positions. Yao Sheng is still young after all, very smart and upright. In addition, he had a deep bond with your father at the beginning. When we chatted, we thought it would be good to let him be a general."

"What kind of bond does he have with my father?" Luo Chuan looked back at Luo Jiang.

"He was only a hundred generals when he first arrived in Licheng. At that time, because of his sister's family, his family got into a child of a family from the Ganyuan family. We were quite simple at that time. They thought it was not a big deal and forced to stand up for him. They didn't expect that the old people in that family were unhappy, so they gave us some picks," Luo Jiang smiled bitterly, "At that time, your father was still a young man. While pleading for us, he went to the old prefect to plead for us, and then went to the mansion of the big prefect to talk to him. In the end, this matter was eliminated. Yao Sheng didn't say much at that time, just remembered. Until later, when your father became the prefect, he was already a military waiter. When he happened to be attacked by an assassin on a patrol, he sacrificed his life to save his father and blocked a sword for your father, and almost died."

Luo Jiang shook his head and continued, "I think about it now that such assassination will naturally not really hurt your father, but Yao Sheng, who was only a military officer at that time, did not know that blocking this sword is a disaster and a blessing, and he was promoted to the commander-in-chief from then on."

"In this way, is this Yao Sheng from a civilian?" Luo Chuan asked.

"Yes, civilians from Ganyuan," Luo Jiang replied.

Luo Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Bo, it was originally said that this general was in your position under your command. You can just use it assured and convenient, but it is not appropriate to put it in the current season. Civil and military personnel are close to you. It is not important for me to use such a small matter outside the city today to hit the court officials and powerful officials. However, the unsuccessful title of a civilian general may make the balance too tilt and cause some unnecessary trouble."

He took his hand away from the cauldron and patted the dust on his hand, "So let go of Yao Sheng first, just leave a vacant general there. If it is destined to be his, it will always be his in the future. However, the military affairs of the city are becoming more and more numerous, and it is indeed necessary to give you an available general," he looked at Luo Jiang and smiled, "I have a candidate, and you may have guessed who it is, Jiang Bo?"

Luo Jiang looked at Luo Chuan's smile and pondered for a moment, "Since you ascended the throne, you have only known several commanders. Neither you are a civilian, you can't be Jiuge, Lu Bai, etc. Chen Cheng's nephew Chen Jun went north this time and heard that he had made a great contribution, he should not be recalled by you. Then he can only be Ning Ankang or... Xie Yanyan, who you have seen in the south?!"

"Not bad, General Luo," Luo Chuan laughed and reached out to bounce the ballistics on Luo Jiang's shiny armor. "It's Xie Yanyan, how about it?"

"It's good if you think it's appropriate. Licheng Army is not a border army. The captain from Baitong is naturally fine in terms of ability," Luo Jiang looked at Luo Chuan and said seriously, "But your current practice between civil and powerful people always makes me feel a little dangerous. For example, if you take this civil and military exercise, give civilians all over the world a level of upward rank, will there really be no problem..."

Luo Chuan was still laughing and laughing. He looked at Luo Jiang and asked with a smile, "Brother Jiang, these words have made you feel bad over the past few days." Before Luo Jiang could respond, he asked again, "How many court officials have asked you to talk about the disadvantages of civil and military practices since I went south?"

Luo Jiang was stunned and then said embarrassedly, "There are many, such as that..."

Luo Chuan waved his hands and said indifferently, "Jiang Bo, this kind of thing is boring to explain in detail. Without asking, you know that those who can go to your mansion to express their opinions openly are just small characters, and they cannot be on the table." He shook his long sleeves, as if he was rid of some insignificant dust. "For me, the short-term benefit of civil and military practice is to recruit talents, such as the Sancang Land and Anling, or other places in the future, no matter how many talents are needed for garrison or governance? Without civil and military practice, it is purely based on the ancient and old official selection system of the official office of the Ministry of Justice. When officials from all sides take their seats, the daylily will be cold."

Luo Jiang didn't understand what the so-called cold daylily meant, but Luo Chuan ignored him and just continued, "For me, Lijun, the long-term benefit of civil and military training lies in the renewal of the powerful class," he looked at Luo Jiang's face with a smile on his surprise, "The stagnant water in the world is always dirty and stinking, unless the pond is full of living water. I understand this principle, and those court officials naturally understand it, but it is beneficial to the county and the aristocratic family. Jiang Bo, what should you make a choice if you are not close to me but the Luo family?"

Luo Chuan smiled and said, "So, the really smart bigwigs in the court will not engage in more trouble with me on whether to conduct civil and military qualities. The specific examination rules for civil and military qualities are the focus of the next battle in the court. Look, our court officials have some ways to make civil and military qualities a channel for the powerful and nobles in the county to quickly promote internal promotion. Tomorrow, you will probably be able to open your eyes."

Luo Jiang sighed when he heard this, "I thought you were the prefect and stable all sides. You should be peaceful inside and outside the county court, but unexpectedly..."

Luo Chuan laughed, "Jiang Bo, you..."

He didn't know how to describe him for a moment, so he just reached out and knocked on his armor, "Now that's a peaceful place now? If I want to be a stable prefect, I will stay in the prefect's palace every day? It's just that I'm asking for trouble and choosing to walk the difficult road. On that road, every step I take is destined to be difficult, but..."

He patted the bronze cauldron with force, "Isn't this what life should look like..."
