When the civil and military officials discussed where these talents should be placed, they discovered that the situation in the northwest was a bit complicated at this time.

Especially the division of prefectures and counties was very unfavorable to the imperial court - if it were originally divided according to the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the areas currently controlled by the imperial court would be planned to go to Xiliang, and only the area around Chang'an would belong to Sili.

In this way, according to Liu Xuan's previous appointment, once a war broke out, Ma Teng could almost control most of the military power of the imperial court. Although Liu Xuan had returned several elite troops to the capital, this was really not a good situation.

Originally, this kind of thing should not be thought of at this time. Xun Yu also remembered that Liu Xuan said before sending troops that after the northwest was pacified, the prefectures and counties would be re-divided, so where exactly those people were assigned would have to wait until they returned to the capital.

Only after the division of prefectures and counties is determined can a decision be made.

Then there is nothing to discuss today. Let's sort out these things first, and then wait until tomorrow to ask the emperor for instructions before making plans.

They dispersed, the sky was already filled with stars, and the moon hung high on it. They suddenly felt that the day was suddenly much brighter. Maybe it was because they had killed the two thieves Li Guo who had the knife lying beside them, and everyone grew up.

You will feel this way after taking a breath, everything you look at is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Xun Yu briefly talked with a few people for a while and then walked towards the emperor's tent. After Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he promoted many people, including his nephew Xun You, but Xun Yu's position never changed.

Palace guarding order.

But everyone knows that the reason Liu Xuan did not move was not because he did not want to promote Xun Yu, but because he wanted to put Xun Yu next to him to discuss matters. How many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty could have such high regard? So Xun Yu either

Promotion, once promoted, must be at least six ministers or nine ministers.

Yang Biao could also see this, so when the others dispersed, Yang Biao deliberately walked slowly with Xun Yu and chatted with Xun Yu for a few words.

"I'm afraid Wen Ruo will be promoted after returning to Beijing this time."

This time the emperor brought Xun Yu out, to some extent to help him accumulate some credit. In addition, the imperial court regained control of such a large area, there must be some changes in the imperial court, especially as there are still many vacant positions in the six departments and nine ministers.

, it is almost inevitable to promote Xun Yu.

Xun Yu could naturally see this, but he didn't care about it. He just wanted to show off his talents to the fullest. Now that the emperor valued him, and the emperor also showed his own methods, he was very satisfied with this, and he was quite satisfied with the official position.

There is no big desire.

Yang Biao also saw that although this young man had great talent, his ideas were inevitably a bit idealistic and he said with a smile: "It is a good thing to be promoted, but sometimes you are talented but trapped in

You can't show off your environment and status to your fullest. Only when you stand tall can you show off your talents."

Finally, he glanced at this handsome young man and said, "Besides, the name of the Xun family in Yingchuan must be supported by your generation."

Xun Shuang was not young, and his health was getting worse. He could leave at any time. Although the Xun family in Yingchuan had a good reputation, if there was no one who could stand in the court for a long time, this would become a problem over time.

The family will also fall into decline.

Yang Biao's words are nothing more than a reminder to Xun Yu: Even if you don't have any needs yourself, you still have to consider your family.

Xun Yu's eyes jumped immediately after hearing this. He didn't understand what Yang Biao meant by saying this, but he suddenly realized that this topic was not appropriate to talk about at this time.

Because he has been with the emperor for a long time, he knows best how the emperor feels about those wealthy families. If he does not fully assist the emperor and instead keeps fighting for the interests of his family, I am afraid... the Xun family will really be defeated.

Seeing that Xun Yu was silent, Yang Biao lowered his head and thought deeply. He said that the young man had understood the key point, so he stopped talking and nodded with a smile. He thought that he was helping Xun Shuang give this junior some advice and could take care of himself.

He went back to rest, but if he knew that what Xun Yu wanted was completely opposite to what he thought, a mouthful of old blood would probably spurt out more than three meters away.

At this time, Liu Xuan was sitting in his tent meditating and practicing.

Now that Guo Si is dead and all his subordinates have surrendered, although the northwest is not yet completely under control, it has generally come under the rule of the imperial court. The dragon energy in Liu Xuan's body has also changed accordingly. Liu Xuan noticed the dragon energy in his body.

The egg has gradually emitted a golden soft light, and the golden dragon bred in this posture may break out of the egg at any time.

So he didn't plan to sleep and rest these days. He worked hard to temper the dragon energy in his body every night. When the next morning, he found that the dragon eggs in his body had been obscured by layers of thick smoke and could not be seen at all.

The condition inside can only be determined by feeling. There are still dragon eggs inside, but no golden dragon has been born.

But such a strong dragon energy not only made Liu Xuan feel comfortable, but he also found that he could mobilize the dragon energy in his body to a limited extent.

"This is a sign of an upcoming breakthrough!"

After being keenly aware of this, Liu Xuan was in a very good mood. When the next morning, Xun Yu and others came to report to him what they had discussed yesterday, his mood became even better.

"Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Mao Jie! These are all talented people."

In fact, he really wanted to transfer these people directly to the imperial court, but considering that although these people had official experience, the positions they held at that time were not high-level, and they would not be able to be placed in those important departments if they were directly promoted to the imperial court.

In his important position, it is better to put it outside. One is to accumulate qualifications and reputation, and the other is to help him control the northwest as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, in addition, it seems that the division of states and counties in the northwest should also be re-drawn!" Everyone reached a consensus yesterday. This must be done, otherwise the distribution of power in the northwest will be too chaotic.

.

Lu Bu was the general who conquered the west. He had the authority to sit in Chang'an to supervise the northwest military, and also commanded the northwest armies during wartime.

And yesterday Liu Xuan just made Ma Teng the governor of Liangzhou, and appointed Ma Teng as the supreme commander during the war. There should be no overlap, but now the territory owned by the imperial court basically belongs to Liangzhou, so there is a conflict.

.

Liu Xuan mentioned this to Xun Yu before he went on the expedition. At that time, he felt that it would not be too late to discuss the matter with Guo Si after Li Jue was killed. By now, both thieves had been killed, and it was time to discuss the issue of that state and county.

.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Bao displayed the map of the northwest region. Liu Xuan looked at the map and pondered for a while, then asked everyone: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Xun Yu turned his head and looked at everyone. At this time, Ma Teng was also there. Originally, he was the most suitable to give suggestions because he had lived in the northwest for a long time and was most familiar with this place.

However, because of his sensitive status, it was inappropriate to say anything, so he just kept silent.

As a result, Zhong Yao spoke: "Your Majesty, I propose that the eight counties of Dunhuang, Jiucheng, Xihai, Zhangye, Xi, Wuwei, Xiping, and Jincheng be Liangzhou."

"Then the nine counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Wudu, Guangwei, Anding, Fufeng, Xinping, Beidi, and Fengyi will be Yongzhou, and Jingzhao will be the capital, and they should be governed separately."

The previous division of prefectures and counties in Liangzhou was nothing special, but that of Yongzhou was equivalent to a redivision of prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.

Liu Xuan compared the map in front of him and discovered that Zhong Yao's suggestion also re-divided the counties under the jurisdiction of each county. It can be said that this suggestion is very complete and can be implemented directly.

However, after Liu Xuan looked around for a while, he discovered that the military capital was not under the control of the imperial court at all, and the area should be under the jurisdiction of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, but in fact it was occupied by Hanzhong Tianshi Dao. In other words, this place was not under the control of the imperial court at all.

, then what else are you planning to do under your own rule?

The same situation exists in Dunhuang County in Liangzhou. The imperial court originally had weak control over Dunhuang, but now it has completely lost control of Dunhuang. The place is completely occupied by the Qiang people, and there is no point in keeping it under their own account.

So after Liu Xuan thought about it, he said directly: "Dunhuang is not under the control of the imperial court at the moment. It will not be included under the rule of Liangzhou for now. We will wait until Dunhuang is recovered later. Wudu... let's put it under the rule of Yizhou first!"

At the same time, another part of Sili, that is, the area where Henan County is located, was separated into Sizhou, which governed four counties: Hedong, Hanoi, Henan and Hongnong.

In fact, it doesn't matter how you divide it, because the Hedong area is now occupied by the Baibo bandits, and that area is now in chaos. Even if the imperial court wants to regain it, it won't be able to spare the energy for a while.

Zhong Yao nodded and made further changes according to Liu Xuan's instructions. The final decision was that the northwest area was divided into the two prefectures of Yongliang and Yongliang. Except for the Jingzhao area where the capital is located, the jurisdiction of the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liang were not quite the same.

If there are more, this will not allow Ma Teng, the governor of Liangzhou, to directly control most of the area.

In fact, Liu Xuan's division was basically the same as the state and county system that was later re-established by the Wei State. Therefore, it was an administrative division that was very suitable for the environment at that time. Naturally, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it and just waited for the return.

Go to the capital and go through the situation with the princes in the court, and then you can officially implement it.

However, Ma Teng didn't feel dissatisfied at all. Perhaps he felt that since he was already loyal to the imperial court, arguing too much on these matters would cause trouble, so he began to act as low-key as possible.

Since Ma Teng was so sensible, everyone had no taboos. Next, the duties and powers of Mao Jie and others were assigned, and they were appointed as the prefects of the four counties of Guangwei, Tianshui, Anding, and Longxi. They happened to have just graduated from Li Jue.

The territory that Guo Bang and Si took over was also bordering Liangzhou. It was obvious what the imperial court meant. However, Ma Teng remained silent and seemed to be very satisfied with this arrangement.

As for Han Sui, thinking about it, he would not take a few young people too seriously, and it would also have the effect of paralyzing Han Sui.

After finishing all this, everyone talked about some trivial matters. I don't know who started it, but they talked about Li Jue's confiscated property and mentioned the three precious knives that Li Jue had collected.

"Oh? Three swords?"

At that time, Lu Bu was around, and the warriors were most concerned about these things. In addition, Lu Bu had worked with Li Jue, so he knew it best: "I almost forgot about this. Li Jue once accidentally found three precious swords, named Dragon Tooth."

, Tiger Wings, Dog God, it is said that it was owned by the monarch during the Xia Dynasty."
