Jiang Fuguang believes that if a country wants long-term peace and stability, communications and systems are the top priority.

In order to strengthen local control, Emperor Guangxuan overhauled plank roads in the north and south, dredged rivers and channels, built water and land stations, and accelerated communications.

The three-level governance of prefectures, counties, counties, and counties was abolished and the six-level governance of provinces, cities, counties, townships, and towns implemented by Cao Cao made the administrative structure clear, officials' responsibilities clear, and their rights clearly divided. This further strengthened the court's control over local areas and further Weaken and divide the rights of local officials and gentry, curb the development of local forces, and achieve the purpose of centralizing power and governing people and hierarchical governance.

A "cabinet system" was established, with the chief and assistant responsible system being implemented, under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and it was the highest leadership and consultative body.

The "Administrative Hall" was established, with secondary responsibilities, as the highest executive agency, responsible for the deployment and implementation of various decisions of the court.

In order to balance the power of the cabinet and prevent the cabinet parliament from restricting the imperial power and competing with each other for power, Emperor Guangxuan established the Military Council to centralize military power while further restraining the power of parliamentary ministers.

One pavilion, one palace, and one courtyard divided the power of the court into three parts, and each power was ultimately firmly in the hands of the emperor.

The consultation of the cabinet requires the emperor's final decision.

The execution of the Administrative Palace also needs to go through the emperor's final decision-making, and the final implementation results must also be reported to the emperor.

Not to mention the Military Council, all military affairs must go through the Military Council, which not only improves the decision-making, accuracy, and efficiency of military affairs, but also cannot surpass the emperor.

This further strengthened the emperor's control over military affairs.

With the support of the eldest princess, Emperor Guangxuan made drastic changes, and the rectification inside and outside the court went smoothly. At the same time, Luo Jing's first encore also entered the palace examination.

The test questions asked by Ji Ruxuan were about the local specialty economy, poverty alleviation and the impact on the development of local humanities and commerce, and the national commodity circulation.

He also thoughtfully wrote on the examination paper that on the day of Jiali, the eldest princess ate Qiubai pears for the first time. Based on the taste of Qiubai pears, he judged their medicinal and dietary value, and concluded that it was feasible to expand planting due to its easy storage characteristics. sex, development and influence.

The candidates who received the examination papers were confused. They never expected that the examination questions set by His Majesty would be so down-to-earth.

What’s even more shocking is that the eldest princess can think of so many things just by eating a pear?

The eldest princess is indeed the eldest princess.

With the world in mind!

Serving the people wholeheartedly!

Even during the wedding night, he did not forget to get rid of poverty and become rich, so as to benefit the people.

but!

It is such a down-to-earth examination paper that stumps most candidates who only focus on reading the books of sages and are ignorant of what is happening outside the window.

At the same time, a group of candidates who value common goods stand out and become the first batch of officials to promote the "development of local specialties." Doers who go to the local areas to develop the local specialties economy can also rise to the top if they are successful in governing the area and have excellent evaluations.

Before we knew it, it was mid-October.

General Zhengnan and General Xiaoqi, who defeated Xibo, returned to the capital.

Jiang Jinghuang, king of the southwest, who handed over the letter of surrender, brought his wife and a pair of children back to Beijing with him to express his sincerity in surrender. They met with Emperor Guangxuan and officially surrendered. Luo Yan, the leader of Mengshe Zhao, also represented the Three Zhaos and brought the envoys of the Three Zhaos to the capital to pay homage to the new emperor.

On the day when General Zhengnan and General Qiaoqi entered Beijing, the bells and drums of Luojing City were ringing, Yong'an Street was bustling with people, and both sides of the street were crowded with excited and cheering people.

The emperor and the empress personally went to the south gate to greet him. Two years later, the brother and sister met on the street, and each other's eyes were red.

Jiang Fuguang opened his mouth and shouted "brother" through the crowd with a voice that only he could hear.

My brother seems to have grown taller and thinner. His face is not as handsome as before, it looks sharp and angular. His peach blossom eyes are blurred and deep, but his gaze is as sharp as a knife. He wears a golden armor and sits on a tall horse. , with a rugged look all over his body.

Qi Yanhuai kept looking at her and didn't hear her call, but he saw the shape of her mouth when she called him. He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile. The ends of his eyes were raised slightly, like crescent moons. His cold and hard face seemed to have softened. Soft as a spring breeze.

Wearing the twelve-chapter crown uniform of Prince Yitong, she stood next to Emperor Guangxuan. The scene of the two of them standing side by side, in an intimate posture, was dazzling and somewhat familiar.

Qi Yanhuai's smile suddenly faded, and his eyes were in a trance, as if he had seen the scene in Dali City of the secret guard in black attire wearing a mask, inseparable from Ayan. He squinted his eyes and imagined that Emperor Guangxuan was wearing a mask. What the mask looks like...

"It's rare for a family to get together..." Ji Ruxuan lowered his head and was talking to Jiang Fuguang when he suddenly took a creampie and felt a chill on his back.

He looked up and saw that General Zhengnan and General Xiaoqi had dismounted and were discharging their troops and armor. Both sides of the street were heavily guarded, and there was nothing unusual. He quietly protected Jiang Fuguang by his side, alert to the movements around him, as if nothing was wrong.

"We will stay at the princess's mansion for a few days later and have a good family reunion."

Ji Ruxuan is not a weakling with no power to tie a chicken. After getting married, she was worried that Jiang Fuguang would be bored in the palace, so she took her white dragon fish suit and took Jiang Fuguang out of the palace to play. Day, no pressure at all.

Jiang Fuguang nodded with a smile. After more than two months of marriage, her body has improved a lot, her face has gained a glow, and her spirit is much better than before. However, she is still so thin, and she will continue to take care of her for another year and a half. , in order to be fully nourished.

Qi Zaiyuan and Qi Yanhuai both stepped forward.

"My minister Qi Zaiyuan (Qi Yanhuai), under the orders of the eldest princess, was stationed in the southwest to guard Dali City and resist the southern invasion of the Western Tibetan Kingdom. In early November last year, the Western Tibetan Kingdom changed. Lali Khan united with the Western Tibetan nobles to form an army. Support the Western and Tibetan coalition forces."

Jiang Fuguang thought that this time was just after the disastrous defeat of the Northern Expedition and the large-scale uprising in South Vietnam.

"In mid-November, Lali Khan led an army of 300,000 troops to invade the south. The army arrived at the border in early December and launched the first attack in mid-December. The ministers led 100,000 Qi family troops and integrated 50,000 Sanzhao troops. We barely scraped together 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight bloody battles on the border and defend the southwest gate. No one was afraid to escape and did not retreat even half a step."

Jiang Fuguang's breathing was stagnant and he clenched his fingers.

The civil and military ministers present were also shocked.

The Qi family army faced the powerful Western Tibetan Empire. Its territory was vaster than that of the Southern Dynasty, and its soldiers and horses were not inferior to that of the Southern Dynasty.

Facing the Southern Dynasties, the only disadvantage of the Xifan Kingdom was that the southwest was blocked by the middle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since Nan Taizu came to the throne, he had firmly controlled the southwest. Since then, the imperial court has not relaxed its control over the southwest. The ambition of the Xibo Kingdom to invade the south was blocked outside the southwest border.

Until the last years of Emperor Xianzong's reign, the country's national power declined sharply and its control over the southwest weakened. Piroye took the opportunity to annex surrounding tribes and establish Yun China, which intensified Xibo's ambition to invade the south. (End of chapter)
