Chapter 626: Distribution and centralization.

"Come, come, this is the five-treasure lotus seed porridge that I personally cooked. Have some."

A great battle is about to begin on the Xiqi front.

Chaoge Villa is full of warmth.

Li Qing came again early in the morning.

By the way, I also brought some porridge that I cooked myself.

This time he didn't let the royal chef do it.

But I did it myself.

Although the taste may not be as good as the Royal Kitchen.

But at least I did my best.

Zhao Xuanling's face flushed.

Although he said that the king was busy and didn't need to come often.

You must not use your precious body to make porridge for me.

But his eyes were full of happiness.

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "I will indeed be very busy from now on. I will be less likely to come to see you. After all, I'm afraid that Xiqi has used up all his energy in taking a shit."

"puff……"

Zhao Xuanling almost spit out the porridge she had just put in her mouth.

He quickly pursed his lips and swallowed it back.

Then, she said with a cough and a smile: "My lord...I am still eating...

"oh……"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. What I meant was that they used all their strength."

Zhao Xuanling chuckled and started eating porridge again.

The porridge cooked by the king himself is so sweet...

The super sweet kind...

But, it tastes really good...

Watch Zhao Xuanling finish eating.

Li Qing reached out and touched her belly, which had not changed.

After all, it’s only been a few days?

It will take at least four months for it to swell up.

But Li Qing could still feel that little life.

After caressing for a while.

Li Qing withdrew his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going back. You can rest assured and take care of your baby. I may not come here in the next few days."

"Well, I save that."

Zhao Xuanling nodded obediently, she knew the seriousness of the matter.

Li Qing smiled, held her in his arms and caressed her.

Another kiss.

It made her face flush.

Then he laughed and left.

Wen Zhong's army marched towards Qixing Pass.

The other two armies were also ordered back by Wen Zhong.

Naturally, Chaoge was sent last night.

Although the general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king.

However, Wen Zhong, who was extremely abiding by etiquette, still obeyed the rules of etiquette when it came to reporting things.

Regarding Wen Zhong’s thoughts.

Li Qing naturally supported it.

In addition, Wen Zhong also requested in his memorial that His Majesty should send officials to guard the two passes as soon as possible.

So he will hold a court meeting today.

A large number of officials were sent to Qishan Pass and Qiyun Pass.

Once you conquer a place, you have to govern it.

Although there had been no court meetings for several days, the ministers did not seem impatient.

The king has now regained his power and wisdom.

Then it actually doesn’t matter whether you go to court or not.

Anyway, the king will review all memorials and written documents.

These ministers, on the contrary, don't want to go to court.

After all, I got up too early and didn’t have time to eat breakfast.

And… who wouldn’t want to snuggle up in bed and sleep in late with their concubine?

The morning bell rang and the court meeting began.

Many ministers got up reluctantly and put on their official uniforms.

Then he went to the Wanshou Hall in the royal city.

Shang Rong and Bigan looked radiant.

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong won a series of victories on the front lines and received good news one after another.

It would be strange if these two prime ministers were unhappy.

After all, it was only a year or two ago that Dashang was still in turmoil.

But now it is as strong as a rock!

"Long live our king! Long live our king! Long, long live our king!"

"Everyone, please stand."

After the old greetings.

Li Qing smiled and said loudly, "I am at court this morning and have nothing else to do. I just want to ask you, my dear ministers, if anyone is willing to go to Qishan Pass and Qiyun Pass? Bring some officials from the six ministries and govern there. After all, you are all my people in the Shang Dynasty."

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.

Just kidding, they are all human beings there.

It's no different from other big cities.

But in fact, it is a newly conquered land!

The people there must be angry and resentful towards the Shang officials.

In addition, Your Majesty's policy towards the two places, and even the entire Xiqi, is high pressure and severe punishment.

Well... there's no benefit in going...

Not to mention that some people gain merit through human virtue, the people praise this kind of benefit...

Maybe there will be various assassination attempts...

It's a thankless job...

But he found that the ministers were not as active as he had expected.

Li Qing's smile gradually cooled.

He frowned slightly and looked at the officials below.

He said slowly, "Why? No one wants to go? Grand Tutor Wen's subordinates are all generals. They can capture cities and territories, but they are much worse at maintaining a region. Now, the Xiqi officials at Qishan Pass and Qiyun Pass are either dead or have fled. There are no officials to govern, and we have to rely on the few mid-level generals who stayed to guard the area. How can that work?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, an official came out from the back of the queue.

He knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty! I, Sun Zheng, a Cao Lang from the Ministry of Personnel, am willing to go!"

Li Qing glanced at Sun Zheng.

Being able to work as a Cao Lang in the Ministry of Personnel is considered to be a high level of achievement.

You are eligible to attend the morning court.

But compared to the many bigwigs at the court meeting.

He can only be considered a minor official.

"good!"

But since he was willing to go, Li Qing really liked it.

Li Qing nodded and said, "I am very pleased! Sun Zheng, a Cao Lang from the Ministry of Personnel, will be leaving for Qiyun Pass today to serve as a prefect! As for the four counties surrounding Qiyun Pass, you are the first to choose! You will be in charge of the county administration and the appointment and dismissal of prefectural and county officials. You do not need to report to me! I await your good news!"
