On the path leading to the meeting hall, there are lights like beans, and the soothing footsteps are accompanied by the babbling of children, adding a bit of life to this quiet path.
Holding her son in one hand and blowing the cool evening breeze, Li Bi was in a good mood, but she was a little annoyed with the little guy in her arms. Now the little kid won't stop talking whenever he sees people, and occasionally he will cry for a while.
It really disturbs people's peace.
The only good thing is that he is in good health and has not had any illnesses since he was born. He is lively and active and learns to talk quickly. Now he can call his parents casually. He looks very smart, but he doesn't know how to grow up.
The queen's mind is not as good as her father's.
With the heir, the ministers will no longer focus on the king's inheritance. However, some people have begun to think about the studies of the prince of Han Dynasty. It is estimated that the little boy will not have much time left to relax, and he will probably enter school at the age of three.
, and both civil and military skills are indispensable.
Of course, as a mother, Li Bi has already begun to look for good mentors for her son. Naturally, those with high moral character will be given priority. Chen Xiaoyi and He Chou are both good candidates, and "underachievers" like Su Dan are also among the candidates because of their age.
It's a good thing. Su Qua is the youngest among them all and will be able to stay with the crown prince for a long time.
It can be said that there are not many candidates, and all of them are close ministers of the King of Han. If there are no major changes, Chen Xiaoyi will undoubtedly be the first teacher of the Crown Prince of Han.
As for martial arts, with parents like them, there is no need for anyone else to teach them. At best, they can just find a gun and stick instructor.
Of course, there is no need to think too much now. There is still time to wait. Things will change every year. Maybe the family will move to Chang'an when the time comes, and then there will be more choices.
In fact, since entering Jinyang, unlike Li Po, who is getting busier and busier, Li Bi's life has been enjoyable. Not talking about the past, but only now, she is in charge of the inner palace. In the days when her husband is away,
It's not much different from back then. She has to take a look at everything, and there's no such thing as loneliness.
Although she often complains in front of her husband, complains, etc., in fact, things in the house are going well, and she has become accustomed to petty troubles and people playing tricks, which is not dangerous.
It adds a bit of fun.
Outsiders say that the King of Han managed his family well, and she actually played an important role as the Princess of Han.
Now my sister-in-law is still jumping up and down, but after all, she can’t jump for much longer. The only regret is that she is pregnant with red eyes. She can eat and sleep, and she is getting fatter and fatter. Maybe because she is too ugly, she rarely goes out, which makes her less able to go out.
A little bit afraid...
While they were walking, someone came over and whispered something in front of Li Bi. Li Bi smiled slightly and asked the people to step back, while she stopped moving forward.
My sister-in-law didn't stay in the front hall for a long time, so her intention of going to "spoil the situation" was in vain. If she wanted to go there now, it would be meaningless. On the contrary, there would be something wrong. She would definitely be ridiculed by her husband. She would not
I want to do something stupid like that.
So he waved his hand lazily and led the people back home.
Without Li Bi coming to "disturb", Li Po finally had a peaceful meal. In the evening, when he returned to the study, Yu Chixin and Wang Zhibian were already waiting there.
Yuchi came here not only to report military affairs, but also eager to fight, because this year he was supposed to lead his troops south to change defenses, but in the end he was left in Jinyang to look after his family, so he was naturally very depressed.
Now he is asking for a fight, even if he can get his brother back.
Wang Zhibian was much more depressed than him. After taking charge of the Ministry of War, the biggest problem he encountered was not the personnel trouble, but how to deal with the various guards.
The imperial army system guarantees the basic power of the generals of the imperial army, but another effect cannot be reflected, which is to restrict the military power of the generals of the imperial army.
The generals under Li Po's command all had great military exploits and held large numbers of soldiers. They were able to support the newly formed military department, but they were neither popular in the world nor on the ground. Wang Zhibian's prestige was not enough to intimidate the generals of the guard.
Of course, there is a problem with Wang Zhibian, but it also involves Li Po's own relationship. According to the current situation, it is impossible for Li Po to fully support the Ministry of War. Even if there is a military meeting, it will not be based on the Ministry of War.
Opinions come first.
In this way, the embarrassing situation of the Ministry of War can be seen. Now the Ministry of War is responsible for recruitment, training, food and other matters, and most of them have to deal with people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Han Dynasty Palace.
However, the long history and Sima officers in the palace of the Han Dynasty still had the power to raise horses, military regulations, etc. and held on to them until death. The power of the Ministry of War was fragmented, which was enough to make those ministers of the Ministry of War who held real power stunned.
Wang Zhibian did not dare to complain to Li Po, but chose a smarter approach, recommending Xue Wanjun, the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, to serve as the Minister of War.
This is a good idea. If it succeeds, the Ministry of War will naturally gradually take back some power.
Li Po neither agreed nor disagreed. Wang Zhibian had to think about the Ministry of War, but as the King of Han, he also had to look at the overall situation. Once someone who connects the inside and outside appears, many things may change and he must be tolerated.
Think about it.
No matter what the thoughts of the two guys in front of him were, Li Po wanted to tell them only one thing when he called them over, and that was that troops would be used next year.
Li Po did not give details, but told them in very euphemistic words that the army might be mobilized next year, and other matters could be put aside. The Ministry of War would send people to inspect the preparations for war everywhere. As for things like food and grass
, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs also need to be prepared.
In just a few words, what they both wanted was solved.
Yuchixin wanted military glory. When the army moved next year, Yuchixin would naturally go south with the army.
Wang Zhibian means that the Ministry of War has jurisdiction over the preparations before mobilizing troops. As long as you have that ability, you can immediately greatly increase the power of the Ministry of War.
What made Li Po more gratified was that these two people did not mention any topics such as knighthood, and they were a little less utilitarian than the civil servants.
And they did intentionally or unintentionally avoid the task of rewarding merit. This is a big cake, and the Ministry of War will not want to cut a piece from it.
But the Ministry of War is like this. The matter of rewarding merits needs to be handed over to the Ministry of Personnel first, and then decided by the Zhongshu. If the result is not satisfactory to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, it will be sent back to the Zhongshu for reexamination. Some people will be in this process.
He was overturned and dismounted.
So unless the sword points, no one wants to make mistakes on this.
In addition, this year's battle by the river has just passed, and the merit examination for the Ministry of War is still in progress. Wang Zhibian has been in the army for many years, and he also served as the commander-in-chief of Daizhou March. Even if he is in a bit of a mess now, he will never take the examination.
Make mistakes on meritorious matters.
So he didn't talk about the reward in front of Li Po, but he took over a lot of work. When he left the study, the lawsuit on his forehead was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited Yu Chixin.
……………………
In mid-September, snowflakes fell from the sky to the earth, and Jinyang was soon covered with a layer of white gauze. The first heavy snow in northern Shanxi came not too early and not too late.
It snowed heavily for more than two hours. After the snow, the temperature dropped sharply, and the freezing winter finally appeared in front of people.
But the cold weather did not extinguish the anxiety, well, or it could be called enthusiasm, of Jinyang officials.
The Princess of Han led people to inspect the four cities on behalf of Her Majesty the King of Han. According to the original words of Han King Li Po, no more refugee camps could be set up in the Jin Dynasty. All widows and orphans must be properly accommodated by the government together with village officials, square officials and other officials.
Therefore, the officials in Jinyang are very busy after the snow. The Princess of Han Dynasty is patrolling Jinyang, and some people from outside are also sent to check whether the local officials are lazy.
In fact, even if Li Po hated the refugee camps, he could not prevent the refugees from gathering under his rule, because there was a large camp on the bank of the Yellow River to accommodate the refugees from Henan.
They had to stay there at least until the spring came and the flowers bloomed, before they could be released to the land and become subjects under the rule of the King of Han.
The King of Han was naturally kind and provided them with the most basic living security, unlike when he returned south and was imprisoned in a refugee camp to die.
But having said that, even if Li Po was more merciful than other princes or local officials, he was not a saint. He would not support these displaced people, undress them, give them food, etc.
Li Po just thought about everything in the refugee camp on the bank of the Yellow River, and then sent Xie Zheng, who had just arrived, to check it out.
This was obviously an extremely hard job, but Xie Zheng had no choice but to use his position as an official of the Han Dynasty to inspect the people in Hedong in the middle of winter.
If Feng Han had not killed him, he would have been able to gain Li Po's trust and become one of the officials in Jin. After sending Xie Zheng away, Li Po thought about sending someone to the Turkic Royal Court, but he could consider
The weather was colder in the north, and anyone who went there might never come back, so I gave up.
At this point, the entire north became quiet.
Especially Guzang, the capital of the Northwest Liang Kingdom, has completely completed a rough and bloody change of power.
Prince Li Boyu was assassinated and was mourned together with his teacher Liang Shuo, the former Minister of Civil Affairs. It seemed that he could not escape the fate of being taught a lesson by his teacher.
Hussars General Li Mao died in a stray arrow. The fierce ministers did not give the Li family a chance to make a comeback, and then sent Li Gui to the Jade Girl Platform in accordance with the emperor's order, freezing the emperor to death on the high platform.
Immediately, Li Gui's "posthumous edict" was announced, and Wu'an King Li Zhongyan succeeded to the throne. People who had "supported the establishment" were promoted one after another, and began to cleanse the Qiang, Tuyuhun and other tribes in a controlled and purposeful manner.
In early winter in Hexi, the screams of the Hu people and the strong smell of blood floated around. How many people died in the northwest at the end of this year, no one paid attention to it as before.
Fan Wenjin, the envoy of the King of Han, reached the pinnacle of his life. He was granted the title of Shangshu Youpushe and also the Minister of Rites. Among the six ministers, he was only inferior to Zuopushe, the Shangshu, and Cao Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Moreover, he also has the title of General Zuo Wuwei, and on his head is the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Duke of Liguo, etc. It can be said that he is highly respected and treated with unique courtesy...
