Gongsun Lan stood behind Li Jing, and his hands were pressing on Li Jing's shoulder to massage and knead him.

The strength was not heavy or light. Li Jing closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the rare relaxation. Smelling the fragrance of orchids, Li Jing relaxed his whole body and mind.

"Does Sanlang want to replace eunuchs with his cabinet?"

Li Jing closed his eyes and said softly. In history, there were three dynasties in China that caused the greatest harm, namely the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. However, whether it was the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, these eunuchs were really apart from the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty. Since Emperor Suzong, almost all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were established by eunuchs, and the emperor became puppets of eunuchs. Two of them were even killed by eunuchs. Among them, Lian Yuan and Emperor Xianzong of Tang, who revived, died at the hands of eunuchs.

Moreover, the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were tyrannical, and the Northern Division, which was controlled by the eunuchs, was pressed on the prime ministers' southern yamen, and even held the imperial guards of the court. It can be said that life and death were all in the hands of eunuchs.

The autocracy of eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty and the separatist rule of the vassal states were two huge cancers that destroyed the Tang Dynasty.

Since Li Jing knew these two points well, he naturally had to be careful.

The big reason why eunuchs were able to interfere in politics was because the emperor needed to check and balance the rights of the prime ministers. As a result, they began to appoint the most trusted eunuchs, which eventually led to eunuchs interfering in politics.

Therefore, if we want to eliminate eunuchs' interference in politics, the key is that someone can replace the role of eunuchs and help the emperor balance the rights of the prime minister. After thinking about it, Li Jing decided to build a new cabinet to replace these eunuchs' balance rights.

But the cabinet cannot be too powerful, otherwise it will eventually become a party struggle. Party struggle is also a major disaster for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Li Jing finally imitated the establishment of a bachelor's degree in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, this cabinet is different from the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. The cabinet established by Li Jing is actually equivalent to the literati supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.

There are nine bachelors in the cabinet, all of which are selected from those very talented literati, and the rank is set to the fifth rank. Compared with the second rank of the left and right rank, the third rank of the six ministers is far different. The bachelors in the cabinet are Li Jing's consultants, and they have the positions of consulting and admonishing, and they also hold the position of lectures in the imperial lecture. The most important thing is that they will approve all the draft memorials submitted by the Shangshu Province according to Li Jing's intention.

All memorials are first handed over to the cabinet for exchange, and the cabinet will submit them to Li Jing for review, and then handed over to the Secretariat to draft opinions. Then the cabinet will submit them to Li Jing for approval. The cabinet will write and approve the money according to Li Jing's wishes.

The Secretariat held the right to vote and the cabinet issued the right to criticize the dividend.

In order to prevent the cabinet from being authoritarian, the appointed scholars were appointed with very prestigious and well-character literati, and their grade was not high, and they were set to be the fifth rank, far lower than the officials of the Shangshu Province. The more important thing is that the cabinet bachelors are appointed once every three years and cannot be re-elected. Re-appointment must be more than three years apart.

It is the best way to check and balance to prevent power from being in one person's hands for a long time.

The first batch of cabinet bachelors Li Jing has already planned candidates. In recent years, due to the prosperity of Dengzhou, the emphasis on education and literature, a large number of scholars have flocked to Dengzhou and other places in Northeast China. Many of them are extremely famous literati and poets at this time.

Some have already served in Northeast China, but some have temporarily only served as consultant consultants in Wenhua Pavilion.

This time, Li Jing selected several people as cabinet members.

The current list of cabinets is Luo Ye, Cao Ye, Xu Tang, Yu Tanzhi, Nie Yizhong, Li Dong, Zheng Gu, Zhou Yao, and Pi Rixiu.

Originally, Li Jing planned to appoint Cui Zhiyuan and Du Zhongwu as members of the cabinet, but when he thought about their status as relatives, he still didn't want to start this, but only selected nine highly-known literati to serve as members of the cabinet.

These people are famous literati nowadays. Some have become officials, and a few have failed the exams, but they have a good reputation.

Among them, Cao Ye was a Jinshi in his middle age. He served as the chief secretary of Tianping Jiedu, Ph.D., Minister of Personnel, and Governor of Yangzhou. Later, he resigned from his post and returned home, and now he has moved to Dengzhou. Li Jing visited him in person. After the conversation, he felt that this person not only had a reputation for literature, but also familiar with government affairs. Therefore, he decided to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet, and then Luo Ye, who served as the county magistrate in Jeju, was the secondary assistant.

Literary people cherish their feathers, especially these famous scholars. The official position of cabinet bachelors is not high, but they have a weight. However, compared with ordinary officials, these people are less likely to gain power.

Li Jing now has five provinces, 30 prefectures and 100 counties. He must have a strong central court. Although everything is going to be created, it must be experienced.

After listening to Li Jing's explanation of the new system as if he was a little confiding, Gongsun Lan understood a lot.

"The two Pushes, Cui Li, the Six Ministers and the Generals, seem to support Saburo's new system. I believe that with everyone's support, this new system can be quickly implemented and will soon see results." Gongsun Lan comforted Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded, and he did not turn back. Now the reform has not caused much benefits, so Li Jing really doesn't have to worry too much. After all, his army was actually a new army at the beginning. Although he later collected many subordinate troops, it has been integrated after reorganization. Because of this, this is an army that is completely different from other vassal states and imperial guards in the court, and Li Jing was sure to implement the new system at this time.

As the two talked, they heard Zhao Jiang’s report outside: “Prince, Gongsun Zhongcheng, there is someone from the Supervision Department outside.”

Gongsun Lan immediately went out and walked back with a letter a moment later. Gongsun Lan served as the chief secretary of the Supervision Department and also served as the doctor of the Investigation Department of the Fourth Division, responsible for analyzing exchange information and coordinating the intelligence sharing of each division.

Gongsun Lan came in and handed the letter to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the letter and the letter had been opened. He took out the letter, but there was a secret letter, composed of Arabic numerals, Chinese characters and various symbols. He couldn't help but smile and returned it to Gongsun Lan. The letters in the intelligence system were transmitted using the password code he originally designed. But even so, he could not understand a word when facing this ghost talisman.

"This is the information that has just been sent back from Chang'an. It was delivered by flying pigeons, fast horses and fast ships. It only took two days to get here from Chang'an." Gongsun Lan said with a chuckling.

Chang'an to Liaodong City, which was newly renamed Liaoyang, is 3,500 miles away. This letter can be delivered within two days. It is really amazing. It seems that the Feige system of the Supervision Bureau has made great contributions. However, it can use Feige, which is 800 miles faster. The contents of the letter sent by the speedboat will definitely not be simple.

"What's the news?"

After Gongsun Lan's serious translation, her face changed slightly and said to Li Jing: "Ruzhou, who was stationed in the Eastern Capital, recruited soldiers to be rewarded by Taibu for the Shangyuan Festival. Under the leadership of the military envoy Li Guangting, he caused chaos in the Eastern Capital, burned Anxi Gate, burned and plundered the market, and went from Changxia Gate. Then, the army in the Hezhong City was in chaos again, and King Yuhou of Hezhong City, Chongrong made chaos in the Hezhong City, and plundered the market in the empty space."

Hearing this news, Li Jing couldn't help but frowned. Not long ago, the Xianshui defense line established by the imperial court in the south of Ruzhou had just dispersed. Xue Neng, the Jiedushi of Zhongwu Army, was killed. The Zhongwu Army was divided into three parts. Three thousand soldiers of Xuzhou's soldiers were killed. In fact, the soldiers had fled back to Xuzhou. Zheng, the highest commander of the defense line, and the Jiedushi of Taining Army, were afraid that the Zhongwu Army would rebel, so they had led their troops to evacuate.

At this time, there was another military chaos in the river, and even the east capital was in chaos.

"After Huang Chao crossed the Huai River and annihilated Cao Quandu in Sizhou, he then entered the territory of Ying, Song, Xu and Yan, and the officials and people fled. He has now attacked Nanshenzhou, Yin Ruzhou, and easily crossed the defense line of Wushui, and has seized Ruzhou and approached the Dongdu."

"What's the reaction of the imperial court?" Li Jing asked. Originally, there was Cui Anqian in Dongdu, and Li Jing thought that Huang Chao could not get it well. But now it seems that Huang Chao did not take action. In Ruzhou, tens of thousands of troops on the Noodle Water Defense Line in Chen and Xu area collapsed directly. Cui Anqian is now in Dongdu, with the back of the King of Hezhong Chongrong's army, and the front is the 300,000 troops that Huang Chao once again expanded after entering Henan, which was under a lot of pressure.

"The court appointed the governor of Hezhong, Li Du, the young tutor of the crown prince, Wang Chongrong, and Liuhou, was appointed as the governor of the Zhongwu Army and the governor of Xuzhou, Qin Zongquan was appointed as the governor of Caizhou, and Lu Yanhong was appointed as the governor of Chenzhou."

Li Jing couldn't help but sneer, Zhou Ji, Qin Zongquan, Lu Yanhong and others killed the Jiedushi, and the governor was independent. The court not only dared not pursue the investigation, but also officially recognized the positions they seized, which shows that the court is now extremely empty. Wang Chongrong, who was in chaos in the river, also successfully drove away the former Jiedushi and became the queen of remnants.

Internal and external troubles, even though the court has improved in recent years, in the end, the result is still a mess.

"The court issued an order to summon the Hedong Jieduan Zheng Cong-yi to transfer the position of Zheng Cong-yi to the Jieduan of Xingying north of Yinshan. He summoned him to lead the Hedong Army in the Datong Army, Xin Qi, deputy ambassador of the Datong Army, Yu Qi, the Jieduan of Zhenwu Army, Helianduo, the Jieduan of Tiande Army, Tuoba Sigong, the Jieduan of Xiayin Jieduan, and Li Zhuo, the Jieduan of Heyang Jieduan, and the Jieduan of Heyang Jieduan, and the soldiers of the six towns led the troops of the town to the south to attack Huang Chao."

Li Keyong actually became a camp on all sides of Hebei to recruit soldiers. The court granted power to control the five cavalry of Anqing, Sage, Qibi, Tatar and Xi, and was fully responsible for the encirclement and suppression of the Hebei rebels.

"Huang Chao issued an edict to all towns, 'Everyone should guard the fortress and not violate my attack! I will enter the eastern capital and go to the capital. I want to be punished, but I have no intention of everyone." Three hundred thousand troops rushed towards Luoyang. Zike Rang fought with him, and his troops were defeated in one battle. At present, Cui Anqian had only more than 20,000 troops in Luoyang. Zheng Cong-sei and others were far away in Hedong, and it was difficult for them to arrive. The emperor had ordered Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian, Du Qing and others to give up the eastern capital Luoyang and retreat to Tongguan to protect Chang'an!"

When Li Jing heard that Li Yan had issued an order to let Dongdu give up Luoyang and retreat to Tongguan to protect Chang'an, he felt a little incredible. Although Luoyang was destroyed during the Anshi Rebellion, it was still the capital of the Central Plains, and its defense was unspeakable. What's more, although the defense line of the Qishui defense line was lost, Zike Rang was defeated again, Zhongwu's army was in chaos, and Hezhong's army was in chaos, but Cui An still had more than 20,000 people in his potential. The Heyang army was on the opposite bank of the Yellow River in Luoyang. As long as he could hold the city, the officers and soldiers of the six towns including Zheng Cong-sei could also arrive quickly.

But now the emperor ordered the abandonment of Dongdu. The reason was self-evident. What they were most worried about was their own life. Although they might be able to defend Dongdu, if Huang Chao directly attacked Tongguan, once he broke Tongguan, the troops would be coming to Chang'an City. At this time, although Luoyang was good, it was not one ten thousandth of that of Chang'an.

But have they never thought about what kind of shock it would cause as Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, fell into an opponent?

When Li Jing thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little chest tight and upset. Although he had expected this day to come, when this day was really coming, Li Jing still felt unspeakable annoyance in his heart.
