==============

In the continued lingering after the release of passion, Yang Xi also heard a lot of things from Yang Yuhuan's mouth.

The most important thing is that he completely understood why Li Longji thought of letting him preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Armed Forces.

Since the first good news from Qinghai came, Yang Yuhuan has been telling Li Longji how outstanding Yang Xi's military strategy is. If Yang Xi is allowed to take charge of military affairs in the future, the Tang army will be invincible and invincible.

. As the good news from Qinghai continued to spread, Prince Li Bin also said many good things about Yang Xi in front of Li Longji, and finally Li Longji decided to let Yang Xi take charge of future military affairs.

Even if Yang Guozhong did not submit his resignation, he would not let Li Longji change his mind on this point. Yang Guozhong submitted his resignation at this time, which made Li Longji make his decision without any hesitation.

"Silang, your father's resignation has made His Majesty sad. He wants to make up for some of the regrets he has for your father with you, so don't refuse all this and accept it all!"

"Thank you, aunt, for reminding me. Silang knows what to do!" Yang Xi, who personally arranged Yang Yuhuan's clothes, looked emotional.

The two have been entangled for a long time, and they must get up. After they get up, they can continue talking, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are discovered later. Yang Yuhuan was so satisfied just now that his body was convulsing. Yang Xi knew that his efforts had paid off.

The rewards are still very generous.

Yang Yuhuan told Yang Xi a lot, including Li Bin's performance during this period and the movements of some ministers in the DPRK that she knew. Yang Xi was very surprised. For him, Yang Yuhuan was a bit

It smells like "Super Spy" and provides him with too many useful things.

Information. We must spend more energy on Yang Yuhuan in the future. I believe that the efforts will continue to be rewarded. Yang Xi doesn’t know if Mrs. Guo Guo has said anything in front of Li Longji about this matter. That woman cannot be ignored.

, maybe we can get her help at a critical moment.

Yang Xi finally left the palace with satisfaction and returned to the Duke of Wei.

Two days after Yang Guozhong's resignation letter was sent to Li Longji, the imperial court issued an edict approving Yang Guozhong's resignation, and ordered Guo Ziyi, who was still suppressing the rebellion in Anxi, to serve as the left prime minister of the school.

Yang Xi serves as the Minister of Military Affairs and is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

The imperial court also summoned Gao Shi, the Minister of Military Affairs who was still in Qinghai, back to Beijing to prepare to cooperate with Yang Xi in reforming the imperial military system.

During Li Longji's reign, the military recruitment system completely replaced the early government military system, which played a great role in improving the military's combat effectiveness. However, because the generals in each border town held power over military affairs and people's livelihood, the central government's decrees could not be issued unimpeded.

And it was carried out. When Li Longji became more and more lazy to manage politics, what happened

A rebellion like An Lushan. Now that the rebellion has been quelled and the threat of the Tubo people has been eliminated, Li Longji further thought of reducing the number of generals in the town army and completely eliminating internal worries. He thought that the most suitable candidate was Yang Xi, who had been killed twice

The young man who had made unparalleled achievements in the battle asked Guo Ziyi to cooperate with Yang Xi to do this.

Young people are motivated and motivated, and will not shrink back even if they encounter setbacks. This is an important reason why Li Longji completely handed over this important task to Yang Xi. He believed that Yang Xi would not let him down.

Of course, Yang Xi didn't fully understand what Li Longji meant, but he knew that Li Longji wanted to push him to the front desk and let him take charge of this most difficult and difficult matter.

Although he knew that it was easy to offend people and difficult to do, Yang Xi did not show any reluctance or flinch. He knew some of the original historical events and knew that the main reason for the rapid decline of the Tang Dynasty since the Anshi Rebellion was the disaster of the feudal towns.

The governor of the feudal town with heavy troops did not want to

He paid attention to the imperial edicts and regarded the vassal towns under his rule as his own kingdom. He took control of military affairs and people's livelihood. This situation led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty and eventually its demise. Now that he has traveled to this era, Yang Xi will

This situation will not be tolerated.

If Li Longji had not entrusted him with the task of reducing the power in the hands of generals at the border and carrying out military reform, Yang Xi would have strongly suggested to the court the shortcomings of reform in this area, and even asked for orders to do it. Now Li

Longji completely handed over the power to him before he asked for his orders, so how could he complain?

Because Yang Xi was already assisting Guo Ziyi in this matter before the campaign against Tubo, it didn't take much to take over the task. He hoped that Gao Shi could return to Chang'an as soon as possible. With this confidant to do this together, Yang Xi believed that

It will be much smoother.

Yang Xi knew that the prestige he had established in the process of countering the rebellion and the expedition to Tibet was unparalleled by anyone. This was the capital for him to carry out drastic reforms in the future.

On the tenth day after Gao Shi was ordered to return to Beijing to assist Yang Xi in presiding over the comprehensive military reform, Gao Shi, who had taken over everything, also used the post station to gallop back to Chang'an. Because he did not know to call him back to Beijing.

For what reason, after Gao Shi arrived in Chang'an, he didn't even return home, so he went directly to Yang Xi's house and asked about the reason.

"Congratulations to Ziliang for taking over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Armed Forces!" Gao Shi was happy for Yang Xi's promotion, and also proud that he had received another reward from the court.

He still held the post of Minister of the Ministry of Armed Forces, but because of his great achievements in this expedition, the imperial court gave him another post, including the post of Chief Superintendent of Military Equipment. With these two important positions being held by him, Gao Shi felt high-spirited.

.

He was very grateful to Yang Xi. He knew that without Yang Xi, he would not have achieved what he did now.

Yang Xi read this gratitude from Gao Shi's expression, but he just smiled and said it was nothing, "Brother Dafu, the imperial court has appointed you to an important position, and I hope you will work more conscientiously in the future. Your Majesty has ordered the two of us to be mainly responsible for the military

Regarding the reform of the system, I hope that the two of us can work together and not let His Majesty down!"

"Please rest assured Ziliang, I will do my best and will never let His Majesty or you down!" Gao Shi looked full of confidence.

"I don't want to give up on this military reform halfway. We must pass this reform to completely straighten out the military system of the Tang Dynasty. There will never be another incident like An Lushan, where the generals on the edge of the town raised troops to cause chaos. We must

To achieve this, a reasonable military system must be established.

During this time, we are mainly discussing how to formulate a reasonable military system." At this point, Yang Xi smiled, "I will write a draft of this system in a few days. You can take a look at it then.

, let’s discuss it again and see how to change it for the better!”

In later generations, Yang Xi served in the army and had some research on the military system of the Republic. He could use it as a reference. Combined with the current actual situation and more discussions with Gao Shi and others, I believe that an effective system can be formulated and continued to be used.

military system for many years.

"That's very good. After a few days, Ziliang, you have written the draft. I will read it carefully immediately and discuss it with you later!"

Yang Xi nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Dafu, this military reform requires a lot of people. I will write a list tonight, and then you will send all the people on the list to use."

!”

"I understand!" Gao Sheng obviously understood the intention of Yang Xi's arrangement. Yang Xi wanted to further win over the people on the list to his side.

Gao Shi's sensible approach reassured Yang Xiting. However, Yang Xi was very worried about one thing, and that was Yang Guozhong's condition. He knew that if Yang Guozhong passed away, he would have to stop what he was doing and keep his filial piety for Yang Guozhong.

This is what a son must do in ancient times. Whether you are a prime minister or an emperor, if your father dies, you must keep filial piety for him, otherwise you will be pointed out and scolded by the world. No matter how talented you are, you will be scolded by others.

If you get the reputation of being unfilial, you will never be able to get ahead in your life.

But whatever he thought of, something happened, and on the fifteenth day when the imperial court officially appointed Yang Xi to act as the Minister of Military Affairs and preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yang Guozhong stopped breathing in his sleep and died suddenly. These days, he had been busy preparing for a full-scale military operation.

Yang Xi, who was concerned about the reform of the system, was also forced to put down what he was doing and go to the Wei Guogong Mansion to keep vigil for Yang Guozhong.

Although Yang Guozhong had a poor reputation before his serious illness and was called a "treacherous prime minister" by many people, the imperial court spoke highly of him. Li Longji issued an edict to highly praise Yang Guozhong and posthumously awarded him the title of Sikong, Prince of the County, and Grand Prince of Luozhou.

The governor, Li Longji, announced that he would suspend court for seven days.

As a sign of condolences, Li Longji ordered him to be buried with Tailing. After hearing the news of Yang Guozhong's death, Li Longji actually cried bitterly. Finally, he ordered all officials in Beijing to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to express condolences, and sent Prince Li Bin to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to express his condolences to Yang Guozhong's family on his behalf.

Express condolences.

Yang Xi, of course, followed the example of his three brothers and resigned from all positions, preparing to keep his filial piety for Yang Guozhong. Of course, the court agreed, and Yang Xi also knelt in front of Yang Guozhong's coffin as a filial son with his three brothers, and accepted all the people who came to the government.

Comfort for those who come to express condolences.

After Yang Guozhong passed away, his body was laid to rest for five days and then he was buried.

Although Li Longji has not passed away, the Tailing Tomb to be buried after his death is already under construction. As a minister that Li Longji trusted very much, Yang Guozhong was given the treatment of being buried with the Tailing Tomb.

No matter how much notoriety Yang Guozhong left during his lifetime, it was all wiped out with his death. Because of Yang Xi, an outstanding son, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong became an outstanding person in all aspects.

A capable minister is almost "bleached".

If Yang Guozhong knew his fate in the original history, he would be very lucky to die like this now. He was treated like ice and fire! In the original history, he was chased by rebels and his head was missing. Where was he buried?

He was not known to anyone, and all that was left behind was infamy and infamy, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. But now he is recorded in history as a famous official of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Xi knew this, so although he was a little sad about Yang Guozhong's death, he was not too sad. He also felt lucky for Yang Guozhong. This was considered a well-deserved death, at least compared to the original.

The day after Yang Guozhong was buried, Guo Xin also gave birth.
