The discussion continued in the evening. Luo Sinan directly came up with this plan, establishing a temporary agency equivalent to the decision-making of the imperial front in the center, and exercising military, government and financial powers in a unified manner.

This plan first weakened the imperial power, which was something that everyone expected. The prime ministers had no reason not to agree, and their goal was this; secondly, it concentrated the military, political and financial powers together, avoiding the struggle for authority by the three parties of the deliberation hall, the Privy Council and the Registration Department that presided over the reform, and especially alleviated the fierce contradictions between the deliberation hall and the Privy Council, which was very beneficial to the court's concentration of strength to unify and revitalize China and Turkey.

This measure actually abolished the national policy of "separation of military and political affairs" in the center. The tiger steed people led by Li Hu joined forces with the old bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty to overturn the foundation of the Song Dynasty. The centralization (the centralization of imperial power) was severely hit, and the power of prime ministers and military power were expanded. A group of civil and military ministers completely controlled the power of the kingdom according to this strategy.

However, the powers of this temporary decision-making body overlap with those of the East and West governments. The Secretariat of the East Government and the Privy Council of the West Government are huge and of high rank. The East Government has prime ministers and deputy ministers, Tong Pingzhang military and state affairs, and the Western Government has Privy Councilors, deputy envoys, and signing academy affairs. These military and political officials actually have certain decision-making power, and they also have provincial, ministers, and courts, and have real administrative power. Therefore, the administrative status, powers, personnel composition, etc. of this temporary agency have become the focus of heated debate.

Whether it is the East Prefecture, the Western Prefecture, or even the Regulations Office that presided over the reform, they are unwilling to give up their powers, and this contradiction cannot be resolved in the short term. Besides, this highest decision-making body was also temporarily established, which was an emergency solution to ease the crisis in the court. In fact, it is still a coordination agency, but the coordinator has changed from Luo Sinan and the Han Palace to a group of civil and military ministers and temporary highest decision-making bodies.

The governments were unwilling to delegate power and were unwilling to give up their own interests, but they all wanted to use this temporary highest decision-making body to increase their own power, so the contradictions arose again.

Luo Sinan and the civil and military ministers discussed until early in the morning of the second day, and finally came up with a compromise plan.

The temporary highest decision-making body is temporarily called "Yuqianshi". Yuqianshi is not a permanent and stable institution, so it has no legal status, no government office, no seal, and the number of personnel is not fixed. As for power, it is mainly to coordinate the Central Government Office. When encountering military and national affairs, the final decision will be made on the basis of consultation.

In this way, the Yuqianshi did not seize the power of the East and West governments and did not affect the interests of the two governments, so the problem was naturally solved.

After discussion, the Grand Marshal Li Hu, Prime Minister Li Gang, Deputy Prime Minister Huang She, Privy Councillor Dong Xiaochou, signed Academy Liu Yanqing, Secretariat Secretary Chai Yun, deputy minister of the Central Secretariat, Fan Zhichang, deputy minister of the Regulations and chief of the Regulations, Yuanye, chief of the General of the General's Mansion, and Hu Tu, chief of the Royal Front Office of the Han Dynasty, became members of the Imperial Front Office.

The Imperial Front Office is chaired by the Grand Marshal Li Hu, and is temporarily led by the Princess Luo Sinan. The meeting place is in the Han Palace. Every three days, members of the Imperial Front Office hold discussions once. When encountering special circumstances, they gather at the Han Palace at any time to make the final decision.

From beginning to end, these civil and military ministers did not mention the emperor. They had already excluded the Zhao Emperor from the highest decision-making level and were gradually forgetting him.

At the beginning of the 13th morning, the Imperial Office held a meeting officially began under the auspices of Luo Sinan.

Li Gang and eight other ministers were in a good mood. They naturally believed that the main content of the discussion of the Imperial Office was to make the final decision on the Nanzheng matter. However, beyond their expectations, Luo Sinan took out the memorial of Changsun Kangning and asked the eight ministers to review it together.

The main content of this memorial is to continue to provide huge military supplies to the Nanzheng army, and the court will return the principal and interest in various ways in the future. The repayment method formulated by Changsun Kangning is beneficial to the court and merchants. Both sides are mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial, which is a win-win result. Therefore, the ministers unanimously agreed, that is, they agreed to the Nanzheng army launch an attack in March.

At this moment, Luo Sinan made a suggestion and summoned Changsun Kangning to the Imperial Front Office.

The significance of Changsun Kangning entering the Imperial Front Office is conceivable. This means that emerging forces composed of giant businessmen and wealthy businesses led by Changsun Kangning began to enter the decision-making body, which will affect the layout of the court, the formulation and implementation of national policies, and the future of Zhongtu.

The eight ministers immediately divided into two factions, one opposed and the other supported, and the supporters were Dong Xiaochou and Liu Yanqing of the Privy Council, and Fan Zhichang of the Regulation Department. As for Yuanye and Hu Tu, they were of course firm supporters, which allowed Luo Sinan's proposal to be passed quickly.

The Yuqian Department is the highest decision-making body, and its decision-making power is nominally shared by nine ministers, but in fact it is firmly controlled by Luo Sinan. The three opponents, Li Gang, Huang She and Chai Yun, had no choice but to accept this decision.

At dawn, the Imperial College made a decision, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Chief of the Regulations was also the Chief of the Imperial College.

Changsun Kangning was overjoyed. He never dreamed that he had entered the highest decision-making agency.

At the beginning of the morning, the Imperial Office summoned the Minister of the CPC again to announce two decisions, that is, to launch a southern expedition in March this year and attack the Southeast.

In the first lunar month, Li Hu led his army to Macheng, Huangzhou Zhifu on Huainan West Road.

Luo Lan and Wang Gui were in the Huangmei area at this moment. After receiving the news, they rushed to Macheng to pay homage to Li Hu. Li Hu carefully asked about their battle on Huainan West Road, and then asked: "Can you make sure that all the prefectures and counties on Huainan West Road have surrendered to Chang'an?"

Luo Lan and Wang Gui gave a positive reply. "The army was unstoppable. Some officials from various prefectures and counties in Huainan West Road fled, some surrendered, and two prefectures and counties took the initiative to surrender. We have reported to the capture of Huainan West Road to the Yangzhou Shuai and reported to the court at the same time. It is estimated that Chang'an will send officials here soon."

"Don't worry about this matter." Li Hu smiled, "Lin Chong and the 13th Army of Hulie are entering Huainan West Road, and he is temporarily responsible for the military and political affairs here."

Roland and Wang Gui looked at each other and asked at the same time: "Is the main force going to cross the river to fight?"

"It will take some time for the crossing of the river to fight." Li Hu said, "The southern expedition is about to begin, and the east and west routes will work together. The west route is led by me, and you will follow me to the Jingxiang battlefield."

"Jingxiang battlefield?" Roland asked in surprise, "What are you doing in Jingxiang? Go down the river and kill Jiangning?"

"Go down the river?" Li Hu shook his head and said with a smile, "The court's financial resources have been tight in the past two years. Mao Shuai and Dao Shuai are in charge of Jingxiang. Although they are determined to build a naval army, they have no money and no time. The construction of a naval army not only requires enough warships, but also requires training enough naval soldiers. However, we have neither the strength nor the time. Therefore, the construction of the Jingxiang Naval Army has been in the stage of raising funds so far, and there is no formation of troops at all, and there is no scale. As for combat effectiveness, let alone mention it."

"There were no wonder Longshuai (Wu Chitian) led the Yun Haijun south to Jingxiang two years ago. Wasn't it just to form a naval army?" This was the first time Roland heard the secret of the Jingxiang naval army, and he was surprised. "The elite troops of the Yun Haijun were all pirates in the Liaohai Sea in the past, and they were good at water warfare. With them as a team, they could quickly form a large-scale naval army. Why did they achieve nothing so far? Is it because they didn't have money?"

"I heard in the Central Plains that the Jingxiang Navy had formed a scale and posed a huge threat to Jiangnan. Are these all fake?" Wang Gui asked in surprise.

"I can tell you with certainty that this news is fake and is used to deceive the Southeast rebels." Li Hu smiled, "Mao Shuai, Dao Shuai and Long Shuai pieced together some ships. After a little transformation, they immediately showed off their power on the Yangtze River under the banner of the Jingxiang Navy. As a result, this move worked and really deceived the Southeast rebels. I heard that Tong Shimin, Liu Qi, and Cookie and others stationed the main army in Dehua, Hukou and Pengze areas in Jiangzhou, and pulled up iron chains to block the river on the river to prevent our Jingxiang Navy from going downstream to attack the Southeast."

"Since the Jingxiang Navy is used to deceive people, the main attack direction of our southern expedition is Jiangning and the Dantu line." Wang Gui continued, "Why did the Grand Marshal want us to go to the Jingxiang battlefield?"

"This southern expedition was indeed the main attack direction of Jiangning and Dantu, but the army crossed the river and needed to make complete preparations. According to Yue Shuai's estimate, the army will not be basically ready until at least May, but May is already the plum rain season, and the river water surges, which is not conducive to the army crossing the river. In this way, the attack time may be delayed until after autumn. In this way, we will lose the best attack opportunity."

Li Hu reached out and spread out the map on the case table and briefly explained Nanzheng's attack strategy.

"So, we put the main attack direction on the West Road." Li Hu said, "We set out from Changsha and attacked Jiangnan West Road in the east. The main goal is Hongzhou. After taking Hongzhou, the army passed through Raozhou and Shezhou directly killed Hangzhou in Liangzhe. After taking Hangzhou, we would get most of the southeast. Then we sent a main force south to attack Fujian and Guangnan, and completely pacify the entire south."

Roland and Wang Gui were very excited that the unity of Middle-earth was close.

"When will we launch an attack?" Roland asked anxiously.

"Around March," Li Hu said, "I had already reported to Chang'an before the New Year. If Changan agreed to this strategy, then we can launch an attack until the end of March and early April at the latest."

"Chang'an has not agreed to the strategy of the southern expedition yet?" Wang Gui was very surprised. Li Hu was the regent, and his decision was equivalent to the emperor's decision. How dare Chang'an disagree?
