The morning court ends.

As usual, the prime ministers stayed in the palace to manage government affairs, while other officials returned to the yamen.

During the court meeting, the emperor issued an edict, and Li Chao was named the governor of Shuofang. At the same time, he also added a lot of recruits to seek comfort, interviews and disposal, salt and iron transfer envoy, military farmland supervision envoy and other positions.

When the officials went to court, they were talking about this matter in groups of three or three.

"I didn't expect Li Pingzhang to leave the town."

"Yes, but he is still serving as the Pingzhang official, the Minister of War, Jingzhao Yin, and the Prince Shao Zhanshi."

"There are also the Grand Secretary of Chongwenguan and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."

"Is this considered a demotion to the local government under the position of prime minister?"

"Pingzhangshi can enter the Political Affairs Hall to discuss politics. Jingzhao Yin is a second-rank real position, and the Minister of War is also a third-rank high-ranking official. The young secretary can be ignored. For those positions, Duke Zhao has no name as prime minister but has the reality of prime minister. Now that he has left the township, he should be demoted no matter how he looks."

"How can this be considered a demotion? Not to mention, there are still those positions, and one of them has not gone. And you see, the one he is the governor, not the governor or the magistrate, and has the power to reward and punish the lives and death. The civil affairs and military affairs of the Jiuzhou provinces are all in charge, and the finance, taxation and personnel affairs are also in charge. Such a governor is much more powerful than the governor. The governor only manages the military affairs of several states and has the power to supervise the other three governors of this path. They can neither manage the people nor finance, taxation, nor personnel affairs."

Many officials were a little confused about the emperor's latest appointment to Li Chao.

"Hey, do you know why Your Majesty appointed Duke Zhao as the governor?"

"Why is this? Duke Zhao was going to go to Lingwu."

"That's different. Your Majesty originally appointed Duke Zhao as the chief general of the Shuofangdao Army, and asked him to command the Ninth General Manager to go to the Liang Shidu. Since he had the position of the chief general manager, there was no need to add the position of the governor. Adding the position of the governor was not just for the convenience of war, but obviously it was necessary to keep Lingwu forever."

An official whispered to several familiar officials, "Think about it, nine general managers were originally scheduled to go to fight with the army, but there were only eight general managers left in the list released this morning. Who is missing?"

"Princess Pingyang."

"That's right, Princess Pingyang is not going to go. I'll tell you again. I heard that Princess Pingyang is the main person who is Chai Sichang and Li."

The news was very exciting, and several officials were also interested.

"Is this really the case?"

"It's more than that. I heard that the eldest princess also entered the palace to ask the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty to force Duke Zhao to divorce his wife. Duke Zhao refused, so his Majesty transferred Li Chao as the governor."

"Oh, so that's it. I didn't expect that the eldest princess would be so great. She actually wanted to dump Chai Shao and be with Duke Zhao. It's amazing."

"What awesome, you don't abide by etiquette."

Everyone shook their heads and smiled.

If an ordinary woman dared to do this, she would have been beaten to death by her husband's family. Even a woman from a famous family, she would have been despised by the world with the support of her family.

But Pingyang is the eldest princess, the emperor's legitimate sister, and she has a good reputation, especially after the interview in Banyuetan, Princess Pingyang is a heroine.

For this unique woman, everyone should be more tolerant.

Since there was a rumor about her and Li Chao in the past, no one criticized her too much.

But now, the rumors of divorce from her husband and forced her lover to divorce her wife have made everyone dislike her. This greatly touched people's bottom line.

"Duke Zhao is quite strong."

"It seems that he has been demoted, but Duke Zhao refused to bow his back and lower his eyebrows to divorce his wife, which is worthy of admiration."

"Yes, even if you forcefully reject the eldest princess and refute the face of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, even if you are demoted, people will be different. With the title of Pingzhang, the Minister of War, Jingzhao Yin, the Prince's Young Guard, and the Prince's Young Master, he will be the governor at once. The first person in the Tang Dynasty, can be demoted so unusual. The civil and military officials in the court, I only submit to Duke Zhao, which is really amazing!"

"Give me a good example!"

"After all, Xuanwu Sect's first skill!" someone said.

"Will that be the same? Yuchi Gong is also the first master of Xuanwu Gate. He is still in the prison of Dali Temple. I heard that it has been decided. If you go to jail for one month, you will be exiled to the local government as a governor. The same is the first master of Xuanwu Gate. When Duke Zhao goes to the local government, he is the governor who controls the military and political affairs of Jiuzhou. Duke Wu goes to the local government, but he is just an ordinary governor, with a difference of 100,800 miles."

Some people objected.

"It is really nice to control the governor of Jiuzhou. There are so many entrusted positions and so many titles. But don't you know that the governor of Jiuzhou is still in the hands of the enemy? To be honest, Zhao Duke, the governor of Jiuzhou, has not even a place to settle down yet."

"What's the matter? Your Majesty said that he would give Li Chao 50,000 troops. Just in the name of Duke Zhao's military god, he had 50,000 troops and horses. He destroyed the Liang Shidu and captured Jiuzhou. This is not a difficult task. You have forgotten that he was in Longxi, with only 10,000 troops, and he beat Tuyuhun to death, let alone 50,000, even the eight general managers, it is different."

On that day, the news that Li Chao was appointed as the governor of Shuofang became the hot topic of Chang'an.

By the way, the news that the eldest princess of Pingyang, the eldest princess, and the eldest princess forced Li Chao to divorce his wife became the first gossip of the day.

Li Chao left the court and stayed in the capital and participated in the last central discussion.

After finishing the matter, I went to the Ministry of War first, handed over the affairs of the Ministry of War to the Minister, and then went to Jingzhao Yin, handed over the work to the two young Yins, and also went to the Zhan Shi Mansion.

After walking around a few times, the errands were almost done, and Li Chao went to Dali Temple.

Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were eating and drinking in prison, and were bored. When Li Chao came in, they were snatching the landlord.

"I'll grab it!"

"double!"

"I'll grab it again!"

“Super doubled!”

"Old Hei, don't snatch it randomly. You make so many times, do you lose so many chicken legs?"

"Who said I will definitely lose? Even if I lose, there is not enough chicken legs, I still have beef jerky and wine. Are you afraid? If you are afraid, surrender and lose half of it." Yuchi Gong held a good hand of cards, proudly, with the landlords of all sizes and big and small, and brought a blow-up. You can win if you play such cards at will. If you don't rob the landlords twice as much, you would be a fool.

"Fuck, you're ruthless, if you double it, you'll need to output all your pants!" Cheng Yaojin said viciously.

"Take ten." Yuchi Gong took three trump cards and did not forget to remember to be heard.

"Don't think about it!" Cheng Yaojin said, "I'm three ten."

"I also have a ten, haha, there is no ten." Niu Jinda said with a laugh.

Yuchi Gong opened the trump card, three, four, five, and it was indeed less than ten.

"Shunzi, add three times more, Lao Hei, you're dead!"

"It depends on what compensation you will get this time!"

Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were extremely excited.

Li Chao came in.

Yuchi Gong was depressed by the super bad trump card. He didn't have three or five in his hands, and he didn't even have six. He couldn't use one of three trump cards. Not only did he not get ten or fewer, but he also had three more small singles, even if two of them were blown up.

Just as he was upset, Yuchi Gong laughed, threw the card at the table, and ran away.

"After playing this, Lao Hei, your mother-don't run away!"

"I haven't seen Wen Yuan come. I must be serious, so why are you playing cards?" Yuchi Gong acted like a rogue.

"Wen Yuan, is there any good news?" Yuchi Gong asked.

Li Chao saw that the three of them were having fun and smiled, "Well, it seems that you are so happy here. Why don't you continue to stay here for a while, anyway, the one-month deadline hasn't come yet."

"Don't, follow Lao Heidai every day, so bored."

"Yes, I feel like I've gained weight for at least ten kilograms. I either eat or sleep all day long." Niu Jinda also got up.

Looking at these three goods, I really gained weight.

"If you're tired of being stunned, just follow me."

“Where to go?”

"Go to Lingwu, fight Liang Shidu, and maybe even fight the Turks. If you are willing to leave, then you will be one of my eight marching chiefs. Not only that, you can also be a governor."

"Of course I'm willing to leave, I'm tired of staying here."

Cheng Yaojin said with some disgust, "After all we are generals, why do we follow you to fight and only be appointed as governor? If we want to be, we should also be at the level of the general."

"If you think you are a little bitch, then you can continue to stay here."

"Forget it, can we go with you? Let's ask first, what kind of governor am I?"

"General Yuchi was appointed as the governor of Xiazhou, General Cheng was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, and General Niu was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou."

Shuofang Town is already a formal town. Although it has no territory yet and has to fight by itself, the court has already attributed Jiuzhou to Shuofang Town. Li Chao, the governor, also serves as the governor of Lingzhou.

Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda, Cheng Yaojin and others were originally generals, but this time they made a mistake and repented in prison. Li Chao transferred them to Shuofang for war, and Li Shimin simply awarded these three generals as the governors of the three states of Shuofang.

Originally, one road was a large, three small and four governors' offices, but this time, Li Shimin actually independently classified the northern Jiuzhou, which belonged to the inner road of Guan, into a new district, Shuofang Town. In order to recover the enemy, Li Shimin also made an exception. Not only did he set up a military governor, but he also sent a general to serve as a governor in each state. It was not a strange thing. Since the Northern Dynasties, there was no clear boundary between civil and military officials, and it was normal for military generals to serve as governors. However, the Tang Dynasty had already begun to separate civil and military officials, but now the situation requires that, he had to re-employ the military position in Shuofang Town.

"I, Old Cheng, have been hungry and thirsty. Let's go, Master Gan Liang and the Turks!"

After picking up the two of them out of prison, Li Chao was held back by Zheng Shanguo.

"Sanlang, you are leaving Beijing soon. Should you welcome my Wanyan into the door first?"

"Uncle, time is a bit urgent, I'm afraid it's too late."

"Isn't there still time? I'll send Wanyan to Li's mansion tomorrow." Zheng Shanguo was even more anxious than Li Chao.

"This is too hasty."

"fine."

Leaving from Dali Temple and returning to the mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I found that Cui Yingying's face was very bad, and her father also had a dark face.

"Sanlang, I will not allow Princess Pingyang to step into our house for a second step in the future. Even if she is a princess, she is not qualified to bully people like this."

It seems that Cui Yingying already knew the rumors of divorced wife outside.

"Madam, those are just rumors. The eldest princess really wants to be with Prince Chai, but she never said anything about asking me to divorce my wife. She and Li are just a matter between them and their husbands, and have nothing to do with us."

"It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter why she and Li asked you to go to the palace? Sanlang, I'm tired and don't want to say too much. In the past, I gave in to her, but after that, I won't give in to her again. This family doesn't welcome her again!"
