When Di Qing led the general back to the court, personnel changes in the court on a large scale.

Jia Changchao was appointed as the governor of the Three Cities of Heyang, and was also the reign of Xijing. Du Zhongxiao was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and was in charge of the Privy Council with Tian Kuan. Cheng Kan was appointed as the governor of the Unprefecture, and Zeng Gongliang, Zhang Sheng and Fu Bi were appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

The Western Regions were changed to the North and South Road of Tianshan. Liu Han served as the outsider and was the governor of the North and South Road of Tianshan. Han Qi entered Beijing and replaced Liu Han as prime minister. At the same time, Song Xiang was summoned to return to the court and serve as the chief official. Bao Zheng, the transfer envoy of Hequ Road, returned to the court to replace Zhang Sheng and became the chief censor.

This major change indicates that the government is about to usher in a major change, and there are a lot of discussions. Especially the changes in the Privy Council, all people have military experience, which is very different from before. Obviously, the large-scale military system reform is already on the verge of the arrow.

In less than a year, Du Zhongxiao was promoted from the Censor Zhongcheng to the Privy Councilor, and his promotion was very fast. However, the court officials were not surprised. Originally, Du Zhongxiao came back with military merits and was slowed down. It was normal for him to be promoted from the Privy Councilor to not be promoted.

It was late February and the weather was getting hot. It was the time when the eagles grew and the flowers were blooming. Du Zhongxiao held a family banquet and invited Han Qi, Fu Bi and Bao Zheng, who had come back from Hequ Road, to have a banquet.

Han Qi and Fu Bi entered the backyard and saw that the flowers and trees were lush and staggered. There was a small pond in the center, lotus flowers were raised in the middle, and a small pavilion in the middle, which was very elegant. Several maids were preparing wine and dishes, and they were like butterflies in the flowers.

Han Qi smiled and said, "I have heard that Du Taiwei's family has a wealth of wealth and few people have. I didn't believe it before. I saw it today and realized that what I said is true. The housing prices in the capital are so expensive. It is amazing that the Taiwei can buy this house after the Daxiangguo Temple."

Du Zhongxiao said: "In recent years, my father did some business and made some money, so he bought this house. It's not that my family is rich, but that there are small households and few places to spend money, so he can make trouble."

Fu Bi said: "Why should the Taiwei be too modest? How many houses can easily afford this house?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "How many ministers can't afford a few thousand guan coins? But it's hard to meet such a place. After we set up there, we went to the banquet. When the Hequ Road was separated, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

The three of them entered the pavilion and each sat down. The maids took tea and everyone drank tea and talked about it.

Not long after, Bao Zheng arrived. Du Zhongxiao ordered the wine to pour, raised the wine glass and said, "We haven't seen each other for many days, let's drink one."

After drinking wine, Du Zhongxiao invited several people to eat the dishes and said, "When I was in Shengzhou, there was a day like this. Several ministers sat together, drank two glasses of wine, and talked about strange stories. The day passed without realizing it. But at that time, everything was difficult. Even if I could steal half a day of leisure, I still had countless things on my body every day. Now when I returned to the capital, I am no longer like that time."

Fu Bi said: "Taiwei, the emperor must have the intention of making such arrangements. I am afraid it will not be easier in the past few years."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "It depends on what we say. Of course, the arrangement of the emperor has a useful intention, but it is obvious that what we should do is also the overall situation. Unlike when we were in Shengzhou, what is tested now is how our concentration is."

Bao Zheng said: "I first returned to the capital, but I don't know what the emperor is going to do. I would like to ask the Grand Marshal to give me some advice."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Now that the Yinshan Mountains in the north and the Western Regions in the west, Dangxiang was destroyed. What else could the emperor think of? It was nothing more than fighting in the north to restore Yanyun and inside the world. In the battle of destroying Dangxiang, it seemed that the imperial guards who were trained in the past few years could not be enemies with the Khitan army. On the contrary, Zhao Zi's troops led by Duke Han went east from Xingxing Gorge to capture Liang Zuo and occupy Xingqing Prefecture, which was even more desirable. The emperor meant that the imperial guards were trained in accordance with the Hequlu army system. When the troops were well-versed, they fought with the Khitan in Yanyun and restored the old land."

Bao Zheng looked at the few people and was a little surprised: "This is not a trivial matter. Is the Taiwei so relaxed, is he confident?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's not just to be confident. This kind of thing will affect the government and the country. I don't know how many officials and generals are involved. At that time, many troubles are at that time. But the big plan has been decided, and we can just take medicine according to the prescription. It's easy to do it, whether it will succeed or not, but it depends on the will of God. Promoting me to Privy Councilor is to do this. Needless to say, if you do it well, you will make a contribution to the country. If you don't do it well, you will waste your life."

After hearing this, the three of them didn't say anything for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

After a while, Han Qi said: "What Taiwei means is whether this matter will be successful or not, and your life will be rich and powerful in one fell swoop."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, it's just this one. If it's done, I will reply to the story of the Han and Tang dynasties. Everyone in the world is a concubine. If it doesn't happen, if the court thinks about other ways, it will be difficult for me to enter the center again."

Han Qi looked at Fu Bi and pondered: "Did I take this matter too seriously?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Is this serious? This is what happened. Since the emperor was seriously ill last year, he has been in poor health. When his husband first entered Xingqing Mansion, the emperor was happy for a while and everything was fine. Later, Di Qing led the army into Hengshan, and everything happened, and he was sick and depressed. If everything went well in the training, the emperor would be in a good mood. Once there was a setback-"

Zhao Zhen was obese and in poor health. He suddenly fainted last year and was not clear for several months since then, and the court officials handled political affairs. Wen Yanbo's status was established at that time. Everyone in the court knew about this and did not avoid it. Many people wrote letters to ask Zhao Zhen to make his son Zhao Zong the crown prince in time to avoid accidents.

Han Qi, Fu Bi and Bao Zheng didn't expect Du Zhongxiao to speak so clearly, and they were stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

Du Zhongxiao said: "After the war in Hengshan, the emperor promised to transfer Di Qing's army back to the capital and re-train the training. He was already very clear about it. So this time, as the Privy Councilor, I want to re-train the imperial guards and fight with the Khitan several years later. The matter is very special, and I must succeed in one fell swoop!"

Han Qi nodded, raised his glass to drink a glass of wine with everyone. Speaking of this, everyone knew what the adjustment of the two governments meant. The Privy Council was all civil officials, but they had many years of military experience in the border reins and could change the imperial guards. Han Qi returned to the court to become a prime minister, and also had the intention to cooperate with the Privy Council. As Du Zhongxiao said, it must be successful in one fell swoop and there must be no omissions.

Bao Zheng said: "Many generals and soldiers in the imperial guards have joined the army since the establishment of the country. There are really not many of them who are suitable for the army. If they want to train the imperial guards, they must first solve their whereabouts. Otherwise, if the capital is unstable, how can they train?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I trained the Tianxiang Army, and the 200,000 Xiang Army lost their livelihood. I selected 30,000 people in Yingtian on Jingxi Road. Now it's just a re-use of the same trick, and it's just a matter of Yingtian. The railway was built to Jiangling Prefecture, and the transportation of Jinghu North Road is convenient, which is a good time for development. After Di Qing's army returned to Beijing, he retrained the training. The appropriate enlisted the imperial guards, and the inappropriate enlistment went to Yingtian on Jinghu North Road. With Jiangling Prefecture in the west and Ezhou on the east as the center, the camping guards were arranged. At the same time, the imperial guards were trained to deal with the Meishan barbarians in the south. The number of people in the shortage of the imperial guards was re-recruited."

Han Qi said: "Doing this will have a great impact on the world. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of people went south to camp in the fields, and they needed a lot of money and food."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Of course, a lot of money and food are needed to develop the two lakes. In recent years, the government has sufficient money and food, but it has only spent some money to attack Dangxiang. If you don't fight foreign wars, you shouldn't spend much money and food."

Han Qi said: "Taiwei, have you reported this matter to the emperor? But it has been decided?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I have reported to the emperor, if there is no accident, it will be like this. There are only two lakes where so many people can be arranged. Moreover, there are precedents to follow in the field. Now the soldiers of the field affairs in the Jingxiying Field Service can live better than the soldiers of the imperial guards, which is easier for them to accept."

Han Qi sighed: "If so, this is the most important thing in the court in recent years is this."

Bao Zheng said: "There are many swamps in the two lakes, rivers crisscrossing. The imperial guards have gone. I wonder if they can get used to it?"

Fu Bi said: "There is no need to consider this matter. A few years ago, Taiwei Di pacified Nong Zhigao, and many soldiers stayed in Guangnan, and there was nothing wrong with it."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, even if there is something wrong with the national policy, I can only feel wronged. This time, if the imperial guards are not completely disciplined, what hidden dangers will be left behind? How can I fight against the Khitan in a few years? The Khitan area is thousands of miles and the armor is millions, which is not comparable to Dangxiang."

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank a glass of wine with everyone. For a moment, several people felt silent and thought about this.

Du Zhongxiao once set up a field on Jingxi Road, and most of the time he was centered on Xiangzhou, the two lakes had a foundation for development. The dispatch of the selected imperial guards to the field there was a careful consideration and the safest way to do it.

In later generations, the two lakes were densely populated and abundant, but they were not developed at this time. When Du Zhongxiao was in Xiangzhou, there were a large number of idle places nearby and many people were placed. In the south, the two lakes were many lakes and rivers, swamps were everywhere, and the population was even smaller. At this time, the biggest problem in the two lakes was barbarian chaos, especially the Meishan barbarians and Chenzhou barbarians near Tanzhou, which often caused chaos. To develop the two lakes, it was necessary to pacify the barbarian chaos there. Although the decommissioned imperial guards did not meet the requirements, they were still qualified to pacify the barbarian chaos.

After thinking for a while, Han Qi said, "If you want to build the two lakes of the fields, you must pacify the barbarian chaos. The Taiwei thought, who would go?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are many famous generals in Di Qing's army, just choose a few people who are not suitable for training. It is difficult to calm down. The terrain is mainly because the terrain is dangerous and it is not convenient for the imperial army to stay in the long term. For the camp, there is nothing."
