On the first day of April in the first year of Jingping, it rained continuously.
Although the temperature has dropped a lot, it is still within a suitable range, so all the officials participating in the meeting today are in a good mood.
This is normal. After all, the palace is in a period of rising career, and everyone can achieve their own career. They are naturally optimistic and full of motivation.
The chief minister and the officials of the Privy Council were walking slowly in the corridor, and the rain could not touch them at all.
Walking in front, Shi Chengwenguang, the commander on the right, said: "It's so good that the rain knows the season... As soon as the spring plowing is over, God will rain. This year will definitely be a bumper harvest!"
Behind him, an official immediately echoed: "It is only because of His Majesty's heavenly virtue that God will send such good rain!"
"That's exactly it..."
"Your Highness is so benevolent and virtuous!"
Not only officials from Cheng Wenguang's line, but even the "Qingliu" represented by Zhou Chengping, some people couldn't help but agree at this moment.
Without him, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Yanxun is really a saint, they are just telling the truth.
Amidst the sound of "praising the saints", everyone came to the outside of Yong'an Hall and slowly entered the hall under the guidance of the etiquette officer.
Only a group of officers remained outside the palace at this moment.
Despite the lively discussion just now, it was extremely quiet inside and outside the hall, and everyone stood quietly and solemnly.
Everyone waited for a while, and when both sides of the hall started to cheer, they knew that Zhao Yanxun's guard of honor had arrived, so everyone lowered their heads.
A few breaths later, amidst the peaceful music, Zhao Yanxun, surrounded by eunuchs, walked into the main hall from behind the screen.
At this moment, he was wearing a black gauze winged crown, a red round-collared robe, and a gold silk and jade belt around his waist. His expression was solemn and majestic.
Holding the jade belt with one hand, Zhao Yanxun climbed up the jade steps, followed carefully by Huo An and Lin Quan, while the other eunuchs stayed at their respective positions.
Taking a seat on the throne, the sound of music stopped at this moment.
While Zhao Yanxun was adjusting his sleeves, Huo An took a step forward and shouted: "Go to court!"
Hearing this, everyone inside and outside the hall bowed and said: "I will bow to Your Highness!"
Zhao Yanxun paused and said, "No courtesy!"
Everyone then stood up and stood upright facing Zhao Yanxun.
Looking at everyone, Zhao Yanxun said: "After two months of hard work, spring plowing is finally over. Thank you for your hard work, dear friends!"
"Thanks to the great blessings of His Highness from above, and the hard work of the people in various prefectures and counties below, spring plowing has just been successfully completed...how dare I say anything about the hardships!"
Cheng Wenguang's timely words made Zhao Yanxun feel really comfortable.
Zhao Yanxun waved his hand and then said: "If you have merit, you have merit..."
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun, whose buttocks were still hot from sitting, stood up from the dragon chair.
He was seen walking on the platform with his hands behind his back, and said at the same time: "It is really rare for Cheng Qing not to take credit... You all must learn from Cheng Qing!"
Although Zhao Yanxun is an extremely wise man, when these words were heard by everyone in the palace, there were still a group of people who didn't take it seriously, simply because they couldn't stand Cheng Wenguang's behavior.
Of course, no matter what little thoughts they have, everyone will keep them in their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun changed his tone and said: "Although the spring plowing is over, your burden is not much lighter. You need to think more about what to do next and how to do it!"
"For example, the Privy Council..."
Upon hearing Zhao Yanxun's call to them, the two Privy Councilors visibly bent their waists, as if they were listening to the holy teachings devoutly.
"Putting the two capital divisions in your hands is equivalent to handing over the defense of Longyou and Beidi to you!"
"Although there are no external enemies now... there are still many monsters in the two counties. You must formulate a detailed plan to eliminate them!"
Slowly walking down the imperial steps, Zhao Yanxun continued: "It's not just about killing monsters, we also need to protect the people, and we also need to supervise training..."
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun had walked among the courtiers, and everyone bowed to him.
"Moreover, Chief Secretary, in addition to supervising farming, you also need to supervise the officials of various prefectures and counties, and you are also responsible for the supply of military supplies..."
Next, Zhao Yanxun talked a lot more. This extremely detailed explanation was actually dividing the responsibilities between the Chief Secretary and the Privy Council.
We were about to fight eastward, and Zhao Yanxun would be on the front line most of the time, so he had to arrange these things and further clarify his authority.
He talked intermittently for more than ten minutes, and Zhao Yanxun, a general official of all sizes, talked about everything.
The group of people waiting outside the main hall were already anxious at this moment, as they were waiting for the edict to be read out.
In the main hall, after Zhao Yanxun finished his speech, the officials all had solemn expressions. The burden on their shoulders was not light at all.
Stepping up the steps, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Call those people outside to come in!"
When he finished speaking, Lin Quan was heard loudly saying: "All the military attachés outside the palace have come to the palace to pay homage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone lined up outside and walked into the hall with neat steps.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
When everyone paid homage, Zhao Yanxun had already taken his seat on the throne.
Picking up the teacup on the side, Zhao Yanxun lifted the tea lid and blew in the hot air, and then said: "Declarate the edict!"
"yes!"
After Huo An responded, he took the edict from the little eunuch on the side, opened it and read aloud: "The king's edict..."
"Transferred to Wu Jianqing as commander of the First Guards of the Military and Horse Division..."
"Promote Chen Yuhe to be the commander of the Second Guards of the Military and Horse Division..."
"Promote Ding Hong as the third commander of the Military and Horse Division..."
As Huo An continued to read, the hearts of everyone kneeling in the store gradually dropped.
The fourth guard commander Xu Hong, the fifth guard commander Duan Hong, the sixth guard commander Zheng Fan, the seventh guard commander Tan Lu, the eighth guard commander Yuan Guang, the ninth guard commander Fang Tong, the tenth guard commander
The commander of the guards is Zhou Qing, the commander of the eleventh guards is Zhou Lixing, the commander of the twelfth guards is Song Guoquan, the commander of the thirteenth guards is Yang Haiqing, the commander of the fourteenth guards is Li Xun, and the commander of the fifteenth guards is Cai Yongkun.
Among them, the first to third guards were adapted from the Imperial Guard soldiers, and the first and second guards were cavalry.
The fourth to tenth guards were adapted from various guards in the pass, among which the third and fourth guards were cavalry.
The remaining 11th to 15th guards were adapted from the soldiers of the Northern Dusi, and they were all infantry.
The appointment of the commander of the Fifteen Guards this time is the result of Zhao Yanxun's hard work. It can be said that all aspects have been taken care of.
The surrendered generals were resettled, and the five commanders of the Longyou Guards formerly under the royal palace, namely Xu Hong and Duan Hong, were also re-awarded commanders.
After the edict was read, the official positions of the commanders of the Fifteen Guards were announced, and the most important and pressing matters in the palace at the moment could be said to have been settled at this moment.
Zhao Yanxun has also made arrangements for the remaining 1,000 households on the 70th and 80th dates below, and the results will be directly notified to individuals.
After the edict was read out, when Huo An put away the edict, the new commander of the fifteen guards in the palace kowtowed to Zhao Yanxun to thank him.
Looking at the people below, Zhao Yanxun said: "Okay, everyone, get up!"
After everyone stood up, Zhao Yanxun continued: "You have been in the army for a long time, and you all know how to lead troops!"
"Every guard and horse, I will leave it to you. Don't let me down!"
After hearing this, Wu Jianqing, the commander of the first guard, said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yanxun signaled Wu Jianqing to retreat.
"You are the third batch of students in the Martial Arts Hall, and you have now graduated!"
"I just thought... I have to make a ceremony for you!"
At this point, Zhao Yanxun changed his tone and said: "Although time is tight, we can't miss these two days. We might as well take you to the mountains for hunting tomorrow... I will take you to the mountains for hunting!"
"In this way, I can give you an explanation!"
Since the ban was placed on the mountainous area, the royal family's forces have not entered the mountain to prevent high-level zombies from hiding in the mountain.
Of course, although there are zombies in the mountains, there are also a large number of wild beasts. After all, there are no hunters in the mountains anymore.
Zhao Yanxun chose to complete his studies through hunting in order to build relationships with these surrendered generals, and also to appease certain people.
After announcing this, the court meeting was actually over.
The commander of the 15th Guards was left behind, and Zhao Yanxun wanted to give instructions on the next strategy. Two days ago, he gave more general instructions.
