Congliang's victory in Ganzhou made Shangjing happy. Everyone saw a great opportunity to resolve Guizhou in one fell swoop and calm the south. The messengers of Shangjing rushed to the army of Su Can and Quan Changbin in the south, asking them to cooperate with Congliang and launch a fierce counterattack against Park Demeng in Guizhou.

In the side hall of Tai Chi Hall, Qin Rounniang, who was in charge of the court, sat upright on a high position. In order to show her respect for Li Xiao, Qin Rounniang was not in the Tai Chi Hall. She usually handled government affairs in this side hall. Li Xiao, who had a stroke, also moved to the Ganqing Hall of the harem, and was usually taken care of by Min Lian'er. As for Xie Yunqiu, it is extremely difficult to see the emperor now. She was almost confined to the Yongfu Palace.

Cao Yi was analyzing the current situation for Qin Rounniang. Qin Rounniang didn't know much about military affairs, but she also knew that this battle of Congliang was very likely to become a turning point in the battle between the north and the south. Eliminating Park Demeng's army in the Northern Expedition would be equivalent to cutting off Yun Zhao's arm that extended to the south, which would force Yun Zhao to re-arrange his strategy.

"Sir, so, we have a great chance to force Yun Zhao back to the north?" Qin Rouniang leaned forward and asked with interest...

"Yes, my wife, as long as we can eliminate Park Demeng as quickly as possible. Guizhou is in crisis, Yun Zhao will definitely send his army to help him and destroy this Northern Expedition Army before them. The army of Liang Su Can can turn around to fight against the Northern Expedition Army, thus forming a confrontation situation. This is beneficial to us." Cao Yi smiled.

"That's great!" Qin Rounniang was full of joy. "It seems that I have done nothing wrong to add Congliang as the general of the country. He can afford this title and the chief assistant. Congliang made such a great contribution. Do I still need to reward me?"

"Empress, the general of the country is already the limit of military generals." Cao Yi reminded.

"I remember General Guan was awarded the title of Marshal before!" Qin Rouniang frowned.

"Empress, the position of marshal is not a permanent position, but a title is added before the war, and will be taken back as soon as the war is over. This is just a temporary position granted to the generals to control all the troops." Cao Yi reminded.

"Will you not be able to do good deeds with good deeds?" Qin Rounniang said: "In the battle in Ganzhou, we won the battle from the general in one fell swoop, which made us move from unfavorable to favorable. I believe that even General Guan can't compare with such great achievements!"

"Empress, you must not say this in the court, otherwise it will be a great disadvantage for the general of good deeds." Cao Yi said quickly, "Now Dayue is no longer as usual. If the general of good deeds is given this position, it will not only be unable to control the entire army, but will cause unnecessary trouble. For example, Xie Shilin from Jingzhou, how could he obey the order of good deeds?"

Qin Rouniang gritted her teeth and said, "If the court wants to be stable, it is necessary to have a political system and order the people will obey it with sternly. How to establish the prestige of the court by yin's power? This is why the current situation is unstable. When everything settles down, people like Xie Shilin will never be kept."

Cao Yi looked at Qin Rouji, blinked his eyes, but he sneered in his heart. When you came out of politics, you would be the one who could follow the country, right?

"Sir, since the Southern form is stable, Park Deok is about to die. One thing has been put on hold for a long time. I want to hear the Prime Minister's opinion. If the Prime Minister agrees, then the Palace can implement it."

The drama bones are here! Cao Yi said in his heart that he has summoned himself to the palace, probably this is the theme.

"Please tell me!"

"The last time in the Shangjing Rebellion, the troops in Shangjing were empty, and the soldiers and horses in the five cities were all empty. Otherwise, why would it be so big? Therefore, I want to strengthen the troops in the capital to ensure the safety of the capital!" Qin Rouni said with a relaxed voice, as if she was talking about this casually.

"Is the Empress trying to recruit new soldiers again and enrich the military commander of the Five Cities?" Cao Yi pretended to be confused.

Qin Rouniang looked at Cao Yi and cursed in her heart. The old fox didn't know what price he had to pay to agree to his own ideas. Although he was in power now, many ideas could not be implemented without Cao Yi's consent.

"The chief assistant, the safety of the capital is more important than Mount Tai. How can we take on the important task of defending the capital? I mean, we will recruit Xiong Kuohai's troops to Beijing. Now the south is gradually becoming more stable. Xiong Kuohai's troops retreated from the front line because of the death of Uncle Wang, and have been repairing the rear after retreating from the front line. Instead of letting them spend money and food there, it is better to transfer them into the capital and enrich the guards of the capital."

"Empress, the war in the south is in full swing now. It is not appropriate to dispatch troops from where to go?" Cao Yi opposed.

"Where is the war in full swing? Our army has already won steadily?" Qin Rounniang smiled and said, "Congliang swept across Ganzhou and attacked Shanzhou. In a short while, he can encircle Guizhou. Is there any problem with the twenty army dealing with the 100,000 people who were pieced together by Park Demeng? As far as I know, there are only the Fifth Battalion, Yizhou Battalion, and Feitian Battalion under Park Demeng's command. Can others, such as Xue Linfeng's troops and Wang Xiangcan's troops, be able to bear the attack of our army?"

Cao Yi smiled. Of course, this information could not be hidden from Qin Rouniang, and she even knew much more clearly than herself.

"Empress, and Ye Kai's Weiwei in Guizhou!"

"After Ye Kai left, it remains to be discussed how much abilities this Weiwei can exert." Qin Rouni smiled.

"But the Empress, the guards who have always been stationed in the capital are the guards, and Xiong Kuohai's troops are just local townsmen. This move to the capital is not a good name, right?" Cao Yi still opposed it.

"Is there any problem with this? It's just a name. The chief minister seems to be so good. Since Ye Kai's Weiwei has surrendered to the Northern Expedition Army, why don't we directly enlist Xiong Kuohai's troops as the imperial guards, and name them after the Weiwei?"

Qin Rouniang's wild thoughts shocked Cao Yi. Looking at Qin Rouniang, she sighed slightly, "Empress, if they were transferred to Beijing, the southern troops would be a little empty after all. I don't know how to do this. Please issue an imperial decree to allow the gentry who are willing to serve the country to form local regiments to make up for the country's insufficient troops?"

Is this Cao Yi's purpose? Qin Rounniang looked at Cao Yi with a calm face. When Li Xiao was in good health, Cao Yi made such a discussion. Li Xiao was worried that the wealthy family would be too big, so she rejected it. Now Cao Yi proposed again, is he trying to use this to threaten him in exchange?

Isn’t the so-called local group training the private armed forces of wealthy families? Qin Rouniang lowered her head and thought slightly. It’s not impossible. She knew that the Qin family in Binzhou had an armed force of 3,000 people, both in training and equipment, but it was not disclosed. Cao Yi wanted to give the aristocratic families the world had a chance to form an army.

"These group training is not impossible to form, but the chief minister, the court has no salary to pay for them, nor does it have weapons and equipment, and food to replenish them!" Qin Rouniang said lightly.

"Since these worries from the country are determined to share the worries with the country, of course they also know the difficulties of the court now. They only need the court to give them a name so that they can show their ambitions and serve the country!" Cao Yi looked at Qin Rouniang. This was the best opportunity. If Qin Rouniang wanted to transfer Xiongkuohai tribe to Beijing, he had to agree to his request.

"Since the prime minister is so sure, then do this. Allow local gentry to form local gangs to raise their own salary, and obey the orders of local magistrates and wait for the imperial court to send an order!"

"Empress, wise!" Cao Yi was delighted, "Since the Empress allowed gentry from all over the country to form a group to train, the families in the south could naturally recruit troops again. There was no problem of insufficient troops in the south. Xiongkuohai troops could enter the capital. Under the construction of Prince Li Qing, this army had a combat power that was comparable to ordinary military troops, and it was also worthy of the name of Weiwei. The officials believed that it could be awarded the name of Weiwei."

"It's so good. Since that's the case, the Prime Minister will propose this matter?"

"There is no choice!" Cao Yi said.

The two smiled at each other and took their own needs.

"Empress, many officials have not entered the palace to pay their respects to His Majesty. Now I want to ask for your greetings to you. Please allow me!" Cao Yi said with his fists.

The two had just reached an agreement, and Qin Rounniang couldn't refuse Cao Yi's face. Moreover, Cao Yi went to visit the emperor with the supporter, and the condition of the emperor was also the subject. If she insisted on not being accurate, she would be suspected of being isolated from the inside and outside, and it would be unfair if it was spread.

"The Chief Aunt is willing, so I will naturally allow it. Your Majesty is great. Although you still can't walk, the Jing Shenshou is much stronger." Qin Rounniang smiled.

Li Xiao's jing-head was indeed very good. He was half lying on the bed. He watched Cao Yi kowtow in front of the bed and nodded slightly. Min Lian'er sat at the end of the bed and gently kneaded Li Xiao's legs with both hands.

"Your Majesty is so good?" Cao Yi asked.

"It's much better, but my legs are still unconscious?" Li Xiao seemed to have accepted the ending, and his face said calmly.

"The court officials are all looking forward to His Majesty getting better soon. Now that the battle to be good has turned around, the situation is full of joy inside and outside the capital!" Cao Yi said.

"I heard from Concubine Xian that I have made great contributions to being a good person, but you will be fine with these things. My first priority now is to calm down and calm down and strive for early recovery. I don't want to worry about these things."

Qin Rouniang stood quietly on one side, watching the king and his minister chatting. Every time Min Lian'er touched Qin Rouniang's eyes, she would lower her head like a frightened deer.

Qin Niang ran in and whispered a few words in Qin Rouni's ear. Qin Rouni's face changed and she walked forward and was filled with joy to Li Xiaofu. "Your Majesty, the Empress is sick again now. Hao'er cries endlessly at this time. The Empress asked me to go over."

"You go!" Li Xiao waved his hand.

Cao Yi also stood up, "Your Majesty is very good, I am relieved, so I said goodbye and told my colleagues the good news!"

Li Xiao raised his hand to stop him and said, "The chief assistant won't come to Beijing. Since he has come, I will talk to me more. The chief assistant watched me grow up and told me some interesting things about my childhood, so that I can be happy too!" Li Xiao laughed.

"Prime Minister, since Your Majesty said that, you should accompany Your Majesty here for more!" Qin Rouniang said to Cao Yi and left in a hurry. Looking at Qin Rouniang's back as he hurriedly left, the eyes of the three people in the room showed strange divine se. (To be continued.
