As for Wang Yuan, Zhao Jiu took into consideration his hard work and promoted him to the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, allowing him to retire as a vice-state-level leader.

In addition, Zhao Kai, the transport judge of the nine routes in Shaanxi and Bashu, was transferred to the governor of Qinfeng Route due to his merits. From a local transport judge during the Jingkang Rebellion, he officially entered the highest level of the imperial bureaucracy after several years of hard work.

The transfer of Hu Yin and Zhao Kai also meant the abolition of the nine-route transfer system and the five-route transfer system used exclusively during the Guanxi War.

At the same time, Lizhou Road General Liu Ziwu was transferred to the Minister of War, Chengdu Road General Lin Jingmo was transferred to the Minister of Revenue, Jiangxi Road General Liu Hongdao was transferred to the Vice Minister of War and Judge of the Capital Water Conservancy Bureau, and Hubei General Ma Shen was transferred to the Minister of Justice.

The Minister of War Hu Shijiang was transferred to be the General Manager of Shaanxi Road, the Minister of Revenue Lin Qi was sent to be the General Manager of Lizhou Road, the Minister of Punishment Wang Shu was sent to be the General Manager of Chengdu Road, and the Vice Minister of Personnel Lü Zhi was sent to be the General Manager of Jiangxi Road.

As for the other vacancies, they were also filled in droves.

It can only be said that this series of personnel changes were enough to shock the court. At first glance, one would have thought that Emperor Zhao, who always paid attention to the stability of the court, was going to cause trouble.

But in fact, if you look closely, you will understand that it is nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity of Northwest integration and Liang Yangzu's retirement to exchange internal and external officials who had previously performed well or outstandingly.

This kind of exchange, let alone being compared with the White Horse Incident in Shaoxing, seems to be even weaker than the round of adjustments after Yaoshan, because at that time the adjustments were made directly at the prime minister level, while this time, in order to maintain the consistency of the court policies and in response to the prime ministers' outstanding performance in governing in the previous few years, the four prime ministers in the court and the two envoys of Chang'an and the southeast did not move at all.

However, the same action, from the perspective of high-level officials, certainly showed that Emperor Zhao had no intention of taking drastic measures, but in the eyes of other people, it still resulted in some kind of misjudgment from a certain perspective.

Just when Emperor Zhao was making large-scale personnel adjustments in Chang'an, suddenly, an official named Liang Jiaying, who had made great efforts and was transferred to be the prefect of Huangzhou, had a military career, had served as a Jinshi, and had also traveled to the Western Regions with Hu Hongxiu, appeared in the book, suggesting that Emperor Zhao should not return to Tokyo, but stay in Chang'an and not move away!

There are certainly sufficient reasons. After pacifying Western Xia and sweeping the northwest, the entire Guanxi became completely stable. In addition, the return of the Xingling grain-producing area and the opening up of the Western Regions and Hetao trade routes will greatly stimulate the revival of Chang'an. There is no need to question the conventional sayings such as the terrain of Guanzhong, as it has been tested for thousands of years.

In addition, this memorial also mentioned a point of view, that is, from Yaoshan to this chaotic war in the northwest, it has confirmed the correctness of the common view of the commander Yue Pengju and the Minister of Personnel Lu Zhi - in order to pacify the Jurchens, one must take a high-level view, sweep Guanxi, and then go out of Hedong, occupy Taihang, and be high above, so as to take over Hebei and advance to Yanyun.

In this case, it would be better for the government to stay in Guanzhong and accumulate strength to move out of Hedong.

Although Liang Jiaying was a rising star, he himself was totally insignificant. However, the memorial he wrote today was truly earth-shattering, completely shaking Chang'an, Tokyo, and even the whole world.

Even Zhao Jiu became doubtful for a moment.

Soon after, after waking up, local officials in Guanxi wrote letters to express their agreement. Soon after, memorials from the city of Tokyo also came in like snowflakes... But what's interesting is that not all people in Tokyo are opposed. Zhang Jun, the prime minister who was based in Bashu and was said to be almost mad with regret for not following Emperor Zhao to participate in the alliance, took the lead and actually expressed his agreement!

Several senior officials who were about to be transferred to Guanxi immediately changed their minds and agreed to move the capital together with the Minister of Personnel, Lu Zhi.

Even several generals on the front line, including Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Qu Duan and Wang De, wrote quickly to the emperor, suggesting that he stay... Yue Fei, who was still in Lanzhou and was in charge of wiping out the former Xishou Baotai Army of the Western Xia, also wrote cautiously to express a certain degree of agreement.

However, the main bureaucrats at all levels in Tokyo, led by the governors of the metropolitan areas, expressed their opposition.

It seemed that the situation of complete division due to the choice of the temporary capital in the early years of Jianyan was about to occur again.

However, after a little hesitation, Zhao Jiu gave up the idea according to the advice of Zhao Ding, the Prime Minister of the Capital Province, and Yuwen Xuzhong, the envoy to Chang'an. As he said before, the country needs a long-term stable situation, and policies need to be guaranteed by a continuous political situation. Moving the capital brings too much uncertainty.

As for the issue of launching a counterattack from Hedong in the future, in fact, the distance between Chang'an and Tokyo is not so exaggerated. At most, he, the official, can come to Chang'an when the time comes.

Since he had made up his mind, Zhao Jiu gave up his original plan to wait for Minister Kobayashi and others. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he went directly east with Wang Yan, who had arrived earlier, and the imperial guards... On the way, he only paused for a while when passing through Shanzhou, to discuss the possible future Hedong strategy with Li Yanxian in person, and asked Wang Yan to cross the river to meet Ma Kuo and go south again. Then he set off again, passed Luoyang, offered sacrifices to Wang Boyan, and finally returned to Tokyo City, which he had been away from for a long time, at the end of August.

When he returned to Tokyo, seeing the great victory and the power of the Western Xia's demise, naturally all the ministers went out of the city thirty miles to welcome him. Emperor Zhao took advantage of the situation to climb up Yuetai and led all the ministers to offer sacrifices to the nameless tablet. Then he returned to the city and saw his two concubines, each holding a son...that is, Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Dezuo...two ugly babies...who came to welcome him.

This is bound to be something worth talking about, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. Just meeting him once gave Emperor Zhao a headache... This is of course, raising a son is a troublesome thing for everyone, right?
