This third-rank position is not something that ordinary people can hold, and the people Li Cunxi wants to promote are all very young.

As for Liu Chuanlin, whom Li Cunxi has always been optimistic about, he is still serving as the governor of Fangzhou. His political achievements are mediocre and it is estimated that there is no hope for his promotion in the next two years.

Needless to say, it is normal for Lu Dayou to stay in Luozhou for five or six years in his history.

Among those who followed Li Cunxi in the past, the ones who did the best were those who practiced martial arts, because ordinary people could not learn martial arts well.

What this world lacks the least is scholars, and what it lacks the least is capable scholars.

The only one in Li Cunxi's small team who climbed to the third rank by studying was Wu Yanhao, and Wu Yanhao's third rank position was just a nominal one.

After thinking for a long time, a human face finally appeared in Li Cunxi's mind.

That was the face of Di Renjie's eldest son, Di Guangsi. He had now been transferred to the central government and served as the Chief Censor. This position was originally for admonishing the emperor, so there would be no problem in adding the title of Right Palace Attendant to him.

Just do it when you think of it!

Li Cunxi is not a person who wastes time. Once he has an idea, he will not change it easily.

Everyone else in the court has their own job, so having another Right Minister of the Imperial Guards doesn't make much sense.

"Ma Rong, I want to take a nap. You stay by my side. If you feel sleepy, you can sleep beside me."

"I will obey your orders!"

Nothing happened for half the night, and when he woke up it was already dawn. After getting dressed, Li Cunxi came to Qianyang Palace accompanied by Ma Rong.

Li Cunxi hadn't had breakfast yet and was still hungry. After asking the palace servants to prepare some pastries, Ma Rong went to guard outside the palace.

Today's grand court meeting came again, but Zhang Jianzhi was missing. Helu, like in the previous times, stuck his head out and looked around.

A few ministers in the corner were secretly dozing off. Anyway, it was unlikely that they would get a chance to speak at the grand court meeting.

After Di Renjie came forward to report a few things, Li Cunxi's favorite ministers began to squeeze each other frantically.

This kind of ugly play made Li Cunxi feel like chewing wax, boring, and the pastries in his mouth were not tasty either.

After the items of the grand court meeting were reviewed one by one, the ministers quieted down. Luo Binwang, the governor of Luozhou, handed in documents to the officials as usual. Several third-rank officials who were embarrassed lowered their heads as if a huge stone was weighing down their shoulders.

The officials under him were not given any glares by the ministers who reported him, and they were in a pretty good mood.

After being tortured many times, they became much more calm when they met Luo Binwang as an official.

Anyway, Li Cunxi will not kill the offenders with one blow, nor will he dismiss them directly. As long as there is no next time and as long as it is not a mistake of principle, Li Cunxi can still accept these officials.

The situation is clear before our eyes, and all that remains is to see who is more shameless and who has fewer officials committing crimes.

It didn't take long for Luo Binwang to expose the officials who had committed crimes and return to his own position.

The third-rank governor of Luozhou stood out from the crowd in this court. No matter who he was, it seemed that no one wanted to get too close to Luo Binwang.

Li Cunxi waited until no one stood up before he sat up straight and looked around at the ministers below.

"Is there anyone else who wants to step forward?"

"Today's grand court meeting seems a little too quiet."

Indeed, no one stood up because everyone who should have spoken had already spoken.

Duoduo, who had almost never spoken on his own initiative since he took office as Shangshu Zuo Pushe, stood up quietly and stood outside the court.

"Your Majesty, now that the north has been settled and the household registration has been submitted, the Khitans have also sent their household registration, which has been filed and stored. Now, I request that the Central Plains' strategy of recuperation and recuperation be implemented in the northern border."

After all, he was born in that prairie.

Even though Duoduo was forced to leave the country, he still wanted his former people to live a good life as soon as possible.

This behavior is beneficial to the country and the people, and he is sure that Li Cunxi will definitely not refuse.

Moreover, he also included Khitan in his proposal, and the two Khitan people would also agree with his proposal.

The prime ministers stood up one after another and agreed with Duoduo's proposal.

When Li Cunxi thought of his buff of peace and prosperity, he agreed. After all, the former Turkic and Khitan territories were already his lands. It was the emperor's obligation to let his people experience good weather and enjoy the policies of the Central Plains.

If he doesn't serve the people, his reign as emperor will end sooner or later.

"Minister Li, thank you for your concern."

Li Cunxi coughed and said lightly.

"I obey your command." Li Huaiyuan bowed in response.

"Have the provincial governors assigned to the eighty-four states in the northern border been selected?"

"The selection has been made, Your Majesty. They are all talented individuals chosen from past imperial examinations. They have all worked their way up through the ranks for years, and now it's fitting that they go to the eighty-four states of the northern border to realize their ambitions."

"Well, the eighty-four states in the northern border are also divided into three levels, upper, middle, and lower, based on the original three hundred states."

"Yes."

The former Turkic and Khitan territories may seem large, but in reality, most of them are simply uninhabitable.

There are many cities in the Turkic region, but apart from the cities, the rest of the country is sparsely populated at a glance. The fact that they were able to divide it into eighty-four states can be considered as a careful effort by Duoduo and Helu.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Helu again. This last Khan who came from the five Dulu tribes knew the internal terrain of the Turks very well, so he played a significant role in the division of states and counties.

Considering his merits, Li Cunxi wanted to reward him something. Helu said at that time that you, Li Cunxi, might as well reward me with death. Li Cunxi naturally disagreed, and then sent more than a dozen beautiful women to Helu to serve him carefully.

Helu was served very well and was exhausted every night.

Look, Helu was absent from the grand court meeting that he was supposed to attend.

By this time, the grand court meeting was coming to an end.

Li Cunxi had something he had always wanted to say but couldn't. He walked down the steps and finally stopped at the foot of the Danchi.

"Since the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang."

"The Tang Dynasty was constantly engaged in external wars, and people's lives were difficult."

"During the Pre-Zhou period, the country launched numerous conquests against enemy states, with both sides winning and losing, which severely damaged the country's national strength."

"Last year, I ascended the throne and was forced to continue the war. The people suffered greatly, and the soldiers were busy everywhere without rest for a long time."

"Fortunately, the war has ended this year. I have decided that after Wang Xiaojie returns to the court, we will begin to recuperate and the armies will take turns to rest and reorganize."

"In the next few years, I hope that this world can become more peaceful."

Li Cunxi showed a compassionate expression.

In war, in the end, the people are always the ones who suffer the most.

After years of war, the Tang Dynasty was left with only a thousand holes in its foundation.

Although there was a brief peace between the government and the opposition, it was only an appearance and would not last forever.

In a few years, factional struggles will reappear. As long as there are selfish motives among the ministers, there will never be peace in the court.

When Wu Yanhao went out on patrol on behalf of the emperor, he encountered many setbacks.

Before new chaos comes, Li Cunxi hopes that the country can face it in peace.
