Although Emperor Jianji repeatedly emphasized frugality, he still accumulated a lot of things in the palace after traveling south to Xiangyang for more than two years, especially when the concubines married into the palace and brought a lot of makeup.

There are only palace servants and more than 200 palace maids in Xiangyang City, which is far from comparable to the imperial palace in Bianliang.

Qiao Jien is now worried that the banned soldiers are clumsy in breaking things, and personally bring more than a hundred palace servants and palace maids to pack the big and small items in the palace. After running around, they are so tired that they are breathing.

"I said, Master Qiao, just rest and watch - this cold weather, you run around and sweat all over, and the cold wind blows, and then gets cold again. Your Majesty will blame us for not being polite to Official Qiao!" County Lord Rongle stood in the corridor with his hips, and asked Qiao Jien to sit down and rest.

"There are all things that have to be packed onto the boat in the past two days, how can you save your worries?" Qiao Jien took a folding chair from the clever palace servant, sat down in front of the porch to rest, and said, "Your Majesty repeatedly prohibits any extra money after arriving in Jianye. All the things here have to be packed and taken away. Otherwise, after Jianye, if you can't turn around in the palace, I will have to have a headache."

Since the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, the ban has been relatively cheap, but during the reign of Emperor Tianxuan, there were tens of thousands of palace servants and palace maids in the Bianliang Palace.

At that time, the Ministry of Eunuchs not only held great power, but also received Pang Xing, but also had the opportunity to participate in the government affairs, and even served in the local government and the military town.

Emperor Jianji ascended the throne in Xiangyang. Qiao Jien seemed to be in the inner court with his hands covering the sky, but there were more than 200 palace servants inside and outside, and the palace maids were there, but Emperor Jianji and Princess Yingyun, who were all the concubines who wanted to serve him, but he could not neglect him.

Qiao Jien, the provincial supervisor of the eunuch, is really harder and much less fun than his previous seniors.

Although Emperor Jianji often asked Qiao Jien to ask about military and political affairs, Qiao Jien, who was cautious, did not dare to make trouble at Emperor Jianji.

Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others wrote letters several times, wanting to select a group of good families with no livelihoods and innocent lives from the south to enter the palace, but Emperor Jianji never agreed.

Qiao Jien didn't even dare to get too close to Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others to avoid repeating Qian Shangduan's mistakes.

When the court considered the Jingnan regiment and the candidate for the Xiangyang left-behind candidate, there were people recommending Qian Shangduan both times. Emperor Jianji weighed the pros and cons, but in the end he still reluctantly gave up and made Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue leave temporarily.

Qiao Jien saw it very clearly that Qian Shangduan continued to take charge of the Imperial Court after the Ruying Victory. It seemed that he had not been punished for Quanzhou's fierce opposition to the imperial command in person in the early stage, but in fact, Emperor Jianji no longer trusted Qian Shangduan anymore, perhaps because he felt that Qian Shangduan still needed to be tempered.

However, Qian Shangduan was still a scholar. Even if Emperor Jianji no longer trusted him, he would not kick him away. Qiao Jien knew that as a eunuch, everything he had was based on the trust of Emperor Jianji. Once he lost Emperor Jianji, he might really have nothing left.

Therefore, when Xu Wei left the court and Wen Hengyue was about to leave the court and stayed in Xiangyang, although Hu Kai and Zhu Qing became even weaker in the court, Qiao Jien could only choose to maintain a certain degree of closeness to Zhu Qing and Hu Kai, and there was no other better choice.

Qiao Jien sat under the corridor, thinking about the complexity after moving the capital to Jianye, he couldn't help but worry.

"Official Qiao, Prince Qiao is watching his clothes here," a beautiful woman in the palace dress walked into the yard accompanied by several palace maids. She saw Prince Rongle and Qiao Jien talking under the corridor, holding her slightly raised belly, and said, "Your Majesty didn't sleep for another night yesterday. Why couldn't you persuade Your Majesty? Your Majesty is weak and she hasn't even relieved her cough for half a month. If you keep going like this, how can you eat it?"

Seeing Concubine Zheng coming, Qiao Jien stood up and saluted her with the Lord Rongle County, saying, "Your Majesty's temperament, how can I persuade him? Concubine Zheng has been cleaned up, and there is still a need to send more people?"

"There is nothing to clean up. There are so many things that are not useful in Xiangyang. How can you bother Official Qiao?" Concubine Zheng complained in a sweet voice, "The palace is too short of manpower. On weekdays, I don't think that when encountering such a big thing, I'm busy everywhere, but only those few people can send it. It's better to be at my mother's house..."

There were more than 200 palace servants and palace maids in the palace courtyard. They usually revolve around Emperor Jianji. Several imperial concubines could count the hands of the men they could use on their daily lives. They were indeed far less generous than those of Concubine Zheng when she was in the Zheng family, and they did not look like they were as decent as those of Concubine Zheng.

However, it was difficult to answer this sentence. Qiao Jien talked a few times, then ran to the Chuigong Hall and saw Zhou He, Hu Kai, Wuwei Princess Zhao Yi and others sitting in the hall with Emperor Jianji.

Qiao Jien walked into the Chuigong Hall and listened for a while, but Zhou He was worried that the Lake gangs were powerful, so he threatened Jiang Han, Hu Kai, Qian Shangduan and others to come together, and advised Emperor Jianji to give up his plan to go to Jianye by water and change to land.

Sun Yanzhou has been the leader of Dongting Lake Water Village for generations, but at the beginning, he led one or two hundred villages to fish and ship for fishing, and was very peaceful.

                                                                                                                              

However, since the Huhu invaded the south, in order to raise military funds and grain, the county of Jinghu South Road imposed fish taxes on the fishermen and boatmen in Dongting Lake several times, which triggered large-scale boycotts and resistance. Sun Yanzhou and other water village forces took advantage of the situation and suddenly became stubborn.

When Sun Yanzhou joined forces with the forces of Zhushuizhai, he robbed millions of stones of money and grain at the mouth of Dongting Lake, and his momentum was even more unparalleled.

After the great victory in Ruying, Xu Wei rushed to Tanzhou, where the Jinghu South Road Supervisor was located, to take up his post. However, it was only a month since he arrived in Tanzhou. He had just started to prepare for the naval army in Tanzhou. It was still early to completely wipe out Sun Yanzhou and other Lake gang forces. Zhou He was of course uneasy that Emperor Jianji went to Jianye by water.

However, if you take a water route, you will go down from Xiangyang along the Han River, pass Hanyang and enter the Yangtze River, and it may take only six or seven days to reach Jianye. If you abandon the water route and change to land route, in addition to disturbing Suiying and Mianhuang, you will hurry up and take less than a month to arrive in Jianye.

Therefore, it was the eve of leaving Xiangyang, and it was not yet decided whether to take water or land.

Emperor Jianji was determined, but he saw Qiao Jien walking in and rejecting Zhou He. Hu Kai's advice said:

"Since the fall of Bianliang, the barbarians may invade the south at any time. I don't know how many soldiers and civilians are in danger of protection. Where can I choose a safe journey? If Zhou Xiang was worried about the bandits and acted at the news, he could arrange a carriage to go on land and hide the truth. We should still strive to arrive in Jianye as soon as possible, and we can sleep less in the open and exhausted carriages..."

Seeing that Hu Kai had no intention of persuading him again, Zhou He stopped insisting and asked again

As for the candidates to replace Xu Wei and Wen Hengyue, Emperor Jianji decided not to do so and urged Emperor Jianji to issue an edict before leaving to facilitate the new candidates to rush to Jianye directly to take office.

Qiao Jien stood beside Emperor Jian Ji, secretly looked at the expressions of Hu Kai, Qian Shangduan, Wuwei County Prince and others.

The fall of Bianliang, and almost all civil and military officials were destroyed. Emperor Jianji ascended the throne in Xiangyang. He and others were led by Hu Kai, Zhou He and others to urgently draw scholars from all over the Yangtze River, Huai and Jinghu, rebuild the Privy Council, the Secretariat and the Six Ministry, and replaced the Imperial Camp and the Imperial Office to take charge of the imperial guards. However, there are still too few ministers who are truly qualified and capable.

In the past two years, Zhou He was the Minister of the School of Personnel and the Ministry of Personnel. Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan and Wu Wenche were also in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, Xu Wei was the Minister of Political Affairs and the Ministry of the Three Divisions (Duzhi, Salt and Iron, and the Ministry of Revenue). Qian Shangduan was the Minister of Edicts and the Ministry of Rites. He also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites with a relatively low-level scholar, such as Zhuang Cheng of Jin, and others.

In addition, Zhou He also led the Imperial Camp, and Hu Kai was the Privy Councilor and the Deputy Imperial Camp. However, Zhou and Hu were also the Imperial Camp, and the Deputy Imperial Camp, and had the right to participate in the judgment and memorial on all major military affairs. However, the specific military command of the imperial guards under the Imperial Camp Department was responsible for the Imperial Camp Department's specific military command affairs.

After the Ruying victory, Xu Wei went to Jinghu South Road to take office, and Zhou He was temporarily in charge of the three envoys; at this time, Wen Hengyue was going to stay in Xiangyang, and Hu Kai temporarily took charge of the specific military affairs of the Imperial Camp as the Privy Councilor and the Imperial Camp Deputy Envoy.

However, even Zhou He had no intention of leading the Ministry of Personnel as the Left Prime Minister and the Three Divisions at the same time, and advocated choosing another talented person immediately to take over the actual military command affairs of the Imperial Camp Department.

Zhou He and the ministers had already discussed a list of alternatives for candidates who met the conditions in all aspects and submitted them to Emperor Jianji's desk, but Emperor Jianji had not made up his mind for a long time.

Now we are about to leave Xiangyang. Zhou He mentioned this matter again. He hopes that the candidate will be determined as soon as possible so that the new political affairs, the three ministries and the military affairs can be directly connected to them in Jianye.

Emperor Jian Ji thought for a while, picked up Zhou He's memorial from the desk and opened it. He picked up the pen and circled out the names of two people. He handed them to Zhou He and said, "Let's write an edict!"

Qiao Jien was still old and had not yet seen the two names of Emperor Jianji, one was Chen Tai, the official of Quan Zhixiangyang Prefecture, the other was the right Sima of the Huai Palace, and the governor of Chuzhou Wang Boqian.

Chen Tai was the former transfer envoy of Jinghu North Road. He welcomed Jianji to Xiangyang with Gu Fan to ascend the throne. He was a great achievement of following the dragon and later took charge of Xiangyang Prefecture. In the past two years, it can be said that Xiangyang Prefecture has been managed in an orderly manner.

Wen Hengyue stayed in Xiangyang and was also aware of the Xiangyang Prefecture. Chen Tai wanted to follow Emperor Jian to the Xindu Jianye. He replaced Xu Wei as the deputy governor and the commander of the Three Divisions. It was not surprising at all.

However, Qiao Jien was very surprised when he transferred Wang Boqian to Jianye and served as the Imperial Camp to provide military affairs.

He looked at Zhou He and Hu Kai, and saw that they were suspicious on their faces when they received the memorial, but they immediately called out "Your Majesty's wiseness", as if they also believed that Wang Boqian was the right candidate.

Qiao Jien soon thought that since Wang Boqian appeared on the alternative list, Zhou He, Hu Kai, Gao Chunnian and others should have had a trade-off before, but he didn't expect that Emperor Jianji would accept this trade-off so happily.
