The emperor sent three edicts to recall his husband Yang from Dunqiu to the capital. At first, his husband Yang was not surprised, because when the Shangshutai was almost wiped out, he was almost the most suitable candidate. After all, the emperor could not travel thousands of miles to Guanzhong and invite Haoran back in poor health.

After hearing what the emperor said, he realized that the emperor was not as wise as he thought. It was Li Xin who taught him step by step that he could complete the replacement of the Shangshutai in such an orderly manner.

From beginning to end, Li Xin never mentioned this to him. If the emperor had not mentioned it, he would not have thought that it was the capital where Mr. Li, who had not had any political affairs for more than ten years, invited him back to the capital.

Gongyang slowly breathed out and bowed to Li Xin.

"The Grand Tutor is generous."

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Shangshutai wanted to replace the Zhechong Commander of the Right Camp of the Imperial Guard. Because of this, Li Xin had a huge conflict with Shangshutai. It was because of this that Gong Yang Shu took the initiative to retire and return home. If you look at it carefully, he had a conflict with Li Xin. Li Xin could not bear the blame and recommended him to sit in the position of the chief minister. It was indeed very generous.

Marquis Jing'an's face was calm.

"It's just business, the old husband doesn't have to take it to heart."

As he said that, he bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my resignation memorial has been handed over. My wife and daughter are still in my hometown in Yongzhou. Please let me return my hometown for my years of hard work."

"I'll take my leave first."

He bowed to the emperor and then slowly retreated from Weiyang Palace.

After Li Xin walked out of Weiyang Palace, the emperor was silent for a long time and finally said, "Each department and the Ministry of Revenue will continue to calculate the branch, Gongyang Pushe and Fang Xiang, and follow me to the study."

Gong Yang Shu and Fang Zi looked at each other slightly, and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Abide by the order."

At this time, the officials in the Weiyang Palace Hall were still busy. After all, it was very complicated to set the regulations for this year in the past few days.

The emperor led Gong Yang Shu and Fang Ziwei to his study. The emperor asked Xiao Huai, who was accompanying him, to give seats to the two prime ministers. He also sat down in his seat. After sitting down, the little emperor sighed slowly and said, "What should we make a decision when we ask the Grand Tutor?"

Fang Ziwei didn't say anything, her husband Yang was silent for a while and said, "Teacher Li is a man who has made contributions to Yuguo. He wants to go back to his hometown. The court has no reason not to let him go back. It is not difficult to let him go out of the capital. How to deal with the difficult things in the southwest."

Her husband Yang sighed and continued, "During the Taikang Dynasty, the southwest was the confidant of the late emperor. For this reason, the late emperor sent Li Taifu to Jimen Pass and ordered Pei Jin to raid Hanzhou City. Unfortunately, Pei Jin failed in Hanzhou, which ruined the major affairs of the late emperor, and the situation in the southwest further deteriorated. The Hanzhou army used this to split the entire southwest. In just three years, the southwest became a country."

The husband Yang said silently: "Your Majesty has shown the southwest war report to the old minister. The old minister and several prime ministers have seen it. Now the Hanzhou army in the southwest is becoming more and more profitable. During the Taikang period, it can only be compared with the local garrison troops. Now it can even use the power of heavenly thunder to fight against the imperial guards in the capital."

The Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi is the most elite army in the entire Jin Dynasty. The Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi is the best in the entire Jin Dynasty, whether it is equipment, daily training, or salary. With more than ten years of training, it represents the strongest combat power of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Every year, the Gyeonggi Imperial Army will compete with the border troops, and most of them will win the Gyeonggi Imperial Army.

The three imperial guards, which are almost 10,000 people in the capital, are the emperor's close-fitting armor, and the 300,000 imperial guards in the capital are the sharp swords in the emperor's hand. Now that the sharp sword is handed out, it has created a gap for others, and the court cannot ignore it.

The husband ram's voice was a little hoarse.

"Teacher Li has been advocating the disaster of the Xianbei in the Northern Xinjiang. In fact, if all the 300,000 imperial guards in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty were released, they could pacify the Yuwen tribes in the north at any time. However, now that 300,000 imperial guards have been released, they may not be able to fight Jianmen Pass."

"The power of the southwest is even greater than that of the Southern Shu back then, and is far more threatening than the Yuwen tribes in the north. Now, it is almost impossible for the imperial court to recover the southwest. What Your Majesty needs to do is to be prepared for the southwest."

"Shangshu Ye from the middle of Han Dynasty had almost 80,000 or 90,000 people under his command, which is not enough. If the southwest wants to leave Jianmen Pass in a few years, these 80,000 or 90,000 people will not stop them. The old minister means that he should increase his defense in the southwest gateway like Hanzhong. Whether it is increasing troops or recruiting troops, at least more than 150,000 people must be stationed near the southwest gateway."

Emperor Yuan Zhao frowned.

“It’s too much.”

Gong Yang Shu breathed out and said, "Emperor Zhao and Emperor Jing have left a lot of things for this dynasty. I have checked the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue these days, and the imperial court has been full of treasury. It is not too much pressure to add another army to the southwest."

The little emperor still frowned.

He has officially taken power, so he has naturally read the account book of the Ministry of Revenue, but the current full treasury is the legacy left by the two generations of emperors. Since the imperial court recovered the southwest in the third year of Taikang, the Emperor Taikang saved money from frugality to deal with the Xianbei Yuwen tribes!

Her husband Yang continued, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the increase in troops is only temporary. As long as the court figures out what the thunder in the southwest is, the southwest corner will not pose any threat to our Great Jin court."

"If we can transform the thunder for our own use, the Yuwen tribes in the north will not be a problem. Before increasing the troops in the southwest, there is no airtight wall in the world. If the increase in troops is not allowed to be used, the increase in troops will give the court a few years. I and my colleagues will definitely find a way to get the prescription for the thunder for Your Majesty."

At this point, there was no other way. Emperor Yuan Zhao nodded silently and sighed at Gong Yang Shu: "From Pushe, who should I send to recruit soldiers in the southwest?"

"Pei Jin."

Gong Yang Shu lowered his head deeply: "General Pei was defeated in the southwest in the eighth year of Taikang. He was beaten by His Majesty for 80 military sticks and was dismissed from his post as a civilian. General Pei is from Jingji. He is still in Jingji. He may not be good at marching and fighting, but he is a first-class expert in training and leading troops. At present, the 300,000 imperial guards in Jingji were mostly brought out by him at that time."

"The Gyeonggi Imperial Army is in his hands, and his combat power is chasing the time of Emperor Wu. This man is only in his fifties this year. Although he was defeated in the southwest, he is still useful."

Emperor Yuan Zhao nodded silently: "Then I will summon him to the palace in the past two days. If there is no problem, let him go to the southwest to recruit soldiers."

As he said that, the little emperor looked at Gong Yang Shu and continued to ask: "Pu She has not answered me yet. How should he deal with Mr. Li?"

Gong Yang Shu frowned at first, glanced at the house where he closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to return to your hometown, you can only let him go. The late emperor could not keep him at that time, and His Majesty forced him to stay in the capital, some unhappiness might occur."

"Besides, with the means of Grand Tutor Li, the court may not be able to really keep him."
