Li Yuanji sensed his father's joy, and he was secretly proud of it. This was an opportunity, and he must seize this opportunity to gain more benefits.

"You have to report to your father and your son, and you have something to report to me."

"What else, you say!"

"There are also some ideas about the military supervisor."

The military supervision involves the army, which is an extremely sensitive topic. Generally speaking, Li Yuan is unwilling to mention this topic, but today he is in a good mood and his son is doing things well, which makes him feel even more gratified, and his standards are relaxed today.

"Tell me! I'll listen."

Li Yuanji was secretly happy and hurriedly said, "I am also a leader of troops. I know the importance of military supervision and the loopholes of military supervision. For example, Duan Decao betrayed and his father also sent military supervision to him, but it still couldn't stop it. So what's the problem? I think the problem is that military supervision has no system and does not report the situation in normal times. The situation is reported only when the person who monitors are about to betray. But it was too late at that time, and the military supervisor would probably be the first to be killed. Therefore, a strict military supervision reporting system should be established, and small details should also be reported to prevent problems from abruptly. In this way, it can be transferred back or removed in time when the generals have signs of betrayal, so that they can truly play the role of military supervision."

Li Yuanji's words were planned by experts behind him, and every sentence hit Li Yuan's key points. Li Yuan himself was a very suspicious person. He did not believe in outsiders. Most of the military power was handed over to his brothers and nephews. Only when fighting could he send outsiders to lead troops, but the military supervisor must not be missing. But even if there was a military supervisor, Li Yuan was not relieved. Just like Duan Decao, he sent the censor Cheng Duo as the military supervisor, but Duan Decao still surrendered to Zhang Xuan, which shows that the military supervisor did have loopholes. The loopholes lies in the system his son mentioned. The key is to prevent problems from escalating.

Of course, Li Yuan also understood his son's meaning. He wanted to take over the military supervision power and realize the unity of the three powers of the court, the army and foreign intelligence. This is actually not impossible. The eldest son Jiancheng was in charge of the rule, the second son Shi Democratic Army, and the third son Xuanba was responsible for the security of the palace. Then the fourth son Yuanji was in charge of supervision. This is what Zhang Qiu Taiyi said about the four dragons holding the tripod.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan slowly said: "Let's do this! The emperor wrote a detailed military supervision system. If I satisfy me, I will hand over the power of military supervision to you."

Li Yuanji was overjoyed and kowtowed, "My son will definitely not disappoint my father."

Li Yuanji left. At this time, Yuan Shoucheng walked in with a smile, "I feel your Majesty's joy, congratulations!"

Li Yuan was so impressed by Yuan Shoucheng's premonition that he was unsure. He also smiled and said, "Sir, I should have seen my fourth son just now. What will he decide?"

"Your Majesty's sons are all pillars of talent!"

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I know their talents, the eldest son Jiancheng and the second son Shimin. The third son Xuanba is extremely skilled in martial arts and bravest in the three armies, which also makes me quite glorious. Only the fourth son Yuanji has always made me uneasy. He guards Taiyuan, and I almost lost the entire Bingzhou and asked him to wipe out Song Jingang, but his entire army was destroyed, which made me extremely passive. Sometimes he really disappointed me."

Yuan Shoucheng smiled and said, "The ancient dragon had nine sons, but nine sons were all different. The eldest son was imprisoned and erected music and erected the zither; the second son was Yazi, who was bloodthirsty and fought, and was carved into a knife ring; the third son was mocking the wind and looked away, so he was erected at the corner of the hall; the fourth son Pulao was roaring, so he was engraved in a big bell; the fifth son was silhouetted, like smoke and sit, so he was engraved in an incense burner, and then swallowed smoke and vomited fog; the six sons were good at carrying heavy weights, so he was turtle under the monument; as for the seven sons, the eight sons, the nine sons, the nine sons, the Chiwen, all had their own functions. Your Majesty was a dragon, and the four dragons should have their own expertise. How could they all send troops to lead wars? Your Majesty used them to play their strengths and avoid their weaknesses."

After saying something, Li Yuan woke up like a dream. He bowed deeply and said, "What the sir said is the words of gold and jade!"

The spring break of the Northern Sui court starts on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, ends on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and officially attends the court on the sixth day of the first lunar month. However, a New Year's court meeting will be held on the morning of the first lunar month. All civil officials and generals above the ninth rank and above the seventh rank must attend, and the empress dowager presided over. Then the regent leads all civil and military officials to celebrate the New Year's sacrifice. Then a New Year's banquet will be completed in one morning. Everyone can enjoy a five-day New Year's holiday after the lunch banquet.

However, officials from the Northern Sui Dynasty had a duty system during the New Year. Every temple must have someone on duty every day. Everyone takes turns to sit in the house to prevent any emergency in the moment, even the prime minister is no exception.

For Zhang Xuan, the New Year is also a busy day. He had to go to the army to congratulate the soldiers on the New Year, visit and appease the families of the fallen soldiers, and visit some experienced old ministers, such as Pei Ju, Su Wei and others.

However, he prepared for war in Youzhou last year, in Danyang County the year before yesterday, and in Goguryeo the year before yesterday, and in three consecutive New Years spent in wars. This year, he finally stayed in Zhongdu for five days. Although he was very busy every day, it also satisfied his family.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xuan came to a large mansion near Fuxian Bridge early in the morning. The mansion covers an area of ​​about ten acres and is surrounded by trees, which is very quiet.

This mansion was the residence of the former Liang Dynasty emperor Xiao Xian. Zhang Xuan used Loufan County to exchange Xiao Xian’s father and daughter back, and was named Duke of Baling County, and lived in Zhongdu.

Many people think that Zhang Xuan saved Xiao Xian’s life because he felt guilty. Of course, there is also some factors in this regard, but more importantly, it is for the long-term peace and stability of Jingzhou.

Just like Nan Chen, Yang Jian destroyed Nan Chen, and did not kill the later lord Chen Shubao, but instead appointed him as a general, kept him in Luoyang and sent someone to monitor him. As long as Chen Shubao was still alive, the people in Jiangnan could not use Chen Shubao as an excuse for rebellion. During the Three Kingdoms, the same was true for the fallen kings of Shu and Wu. If they were kept, no one would rebel again to revive Shu and Wu.

Xiao Xian and his daughter Xiao Yuexian live in this mansion, with servants serving them and guards protecting them. This is the second time that Zhang Xuan has come to visit the father and daughter after returning from Hetao.

In the lobby, Xiao Xian and Zhang Xuan took a seat. Xiao Xian wore a Confucian robe and a flat scarf on his head. He looked like a white-faced scholar. No one expected that this person had ascended the throne and controlled thousands of miles of territory.

At this time, Xiao Yuexian served them tea and slowly retreated. Xiao Yuexian looked like a flower and beautiful, and was only twenty years old. Her husband was Lei Meng's son. He was unfortunately killed when Jiangling fell, which made her widow without children.

Xiao Xian looked at his daughter's back and sighed, "Dissatisfied with your highness, my greatest wish is to find another wishful husband for Yuexian. She is only twenty years old and can't live a widow for the rest of her life."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Why don't Brother Xiao have any requirements for his new son-in-law?"

Xiao Xian shook her head and said, "My husband was appointed by me to win over the general. She doesn't like it, and the relationship between husband and wife is not very good. I have always felt guilty about it, so this time I hope to find a man she likes as her husband."

"I don't know what Miss Yuexian has to ask, so I will turn around and ask the princess to be a matchmaker."

"She likes literature and calligraphy very much, so she always wanted to find a confidant to be her husband, but unfortunately she married a rude martial artist before, which made her feel depressed."

Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of someone and smiled and said, "How about the top scholar Chu Suiliang the previous year?"

"Of course this is good, I'm afraid Mr. Chu is not very willing."

"Before Chu joined the army, he also had a wife. He was the daughter of Yu Shinan, the chief censor. He unfortunately gave birth in August last year, and neither mother nor son could be saved. His father wrote a letter to advise him to marry again. Yu Shinan also advised him to marry another bride. The Chu family is a famous family in Yuhang and the Xiao family is a noble family in Jinling. It happened to be a good family. Brother Xiao asked Ling Ai, if she wanted, then I would personally write to Chu Liang to propose marriage."

Of course, Xiao Xian knew his daughter's thoughts. Yuexian was most likely willing, but he still wanted to ask for his daughter's opinions. Xiao Xian nodded happily and said, "Thank you for your love for your little girl. I will give you a clear reply tomorrow."

At night, Zhang Xuan told his wife Lu Qing about his matchmaking for Xiao Yuexian.

Lu Qing shook his head and smiled, "Being a matchmaker is not like your husband. You are just making a random match. If not, Miss Yuexian will be happy."

"Why?" Zhang Xuan asked in confusion.

"For this matter, the husband must first ask the man. Although Miss Yuexian is innocent, her father is not an ordinary person. Will your husband think Mr. Chu be willing?"

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and felt a little reckless. Xiao Xian was the king of the country who was destroyed, and Xiao Yuexian was the princess of the country who was destroyed. Most people really didn't want to marry them, but they actually forgot about this.

"The lady said what should I do? I guess Xiao Xian will send someone to deliver a letter tomorrow to express his agreement. This is a bit troublesome."

Lu Qing thought for a while and said, "Xiao Xian is the nephew of the queen mother, and Yuexian is the queen mother's nephew and granddaughter, and she is also considered a relative of the foreigner. Your husband can ask the queen mother to propose marriage to the Chu family. There may be a glimmer of hope. In addition, find another opportunity for the two to meet and have the queen mother to discuss. As long as they are willing and there is another queen mother to propose marriage, I think there will be 70% hope."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, but he really didn't want to see Xiao Hou, so he hugged his wife's shoulder and smiled: "The empress dowager will leave it to the wife. I asked Xiao Xiangguo to arrange the meeting between the two. This is the first thing I did in the New Year, and it would be best to succeed!"
