    The autumn wind is rustling and the autumn rain is falling.

    Looking north from the Yellow River, it seems as if the sky, the earth, and all living things are shrouded in gray.  In the endless wilderness, the grass is long, there is no swaying of fireworks, and there is no breath of life. What can be seen everywhere is just the pattering of pale white and the dim yellow of desolation, which adds a bit of lingering melancholy.  .

    "The autumn rain and autumn wind are so sad that it makes people sad, and sitting alone in the cold night makes me feel sad."

    " Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel melancholy. North of the river, even the white bones that could be seen everywhere in the past could no longer be seen. It wasn't that the mountains and rivers were safe and healthy, but that a long, long time ago, all the people had died, and even their bones had melted.

    This silent wilderness has long become a ghost.

    Huang Mingyuan walked northward without saying a word.  Facing this scene, he was really heartbroken and speechless.

    Soon after Huang Mingyuan returned to Luoyang, he asked Yang Guang for orders to go north to quell the banditry in Hebei.

    Yang Guang actually doesn¡¯t want Huang Mingyuan to go north. It seems that Huang Mingyuan is not around and he is extremely insecure.  In Yang Guang's plan, Huang Mingyuan wanted to protect him as he went to Jiangdu.

    But Huang Mingyuan met the emperor and asked to go to Hebei. When he talked about the chaos in Hebei, he felt sad and angry and filled with tears. His words were so sincere and bloody that Yang Guang almost couldn't bear to refuse.

    Since Hebei is closest to Yanmen, officers and soldiers from various places who were originally responsible for suppressing bandits have rushed to Yanmen to rescue them, making the banditry in Hebei more serious.  News of being conquered by bandits came from various prefectures and counties, and the land of Hebei was almost no longer owned by the Sui Dynasty.

    The bandit commanders Du Yanbing, Wang Run and others fell into Pingyuan County and plundered away;

    Li Deyi from Pingyuan gathered tens of thousands of people and renamed himself "Uncle Thief" to plunder Shandong;

    Han Jinluo, a native of Jibei, gathered tens of thousands of people to become bandits;

    Zhen Baocha, a native of Jibei, gathered more than ten thousand people and looted the city;

    Wang Deren, the thief commander of Ji County, has tens of thousands of people, and he is stationed as a thief in Linlu Mountain;

    The bandit commander Zhao Wanhai, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invaded Gaoyang from Mount Heng;

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    At this moment, Hebei was almost no longer owned by the Sui Dynasty.  And Hebei is subducting towards Henan. Hebei is in chaos, and Henan is also in trouble.

    Yang Guang knows very well that the only way to deal with such a bad situation in Hebei is to rely on Huang Mingyuan.  So it was decided that Huang Mingyuan appointed Huang Mingyuan as Hebei's arresting ambassador, responsible for the suppression of bandits across Hebei.

    At this time, Yu Shiji suggested to Yang Guang that banditry was serious in Hebei, and seventy-eight out of ten prefectures and counties were occupied by bandits. The local area was in chaos, aristocratic families and local bandits colluded with each other, and the rights of the government were almost non-existent.  Suppression by force alone may not be able to completely eliminate the bandits. It is better to set up a branch in Hebei to control the military and government, suppress bandits on the outside, collect governance power on the inside, and integrate internal and external forces to stabilize Hebei.

    Xingtai is a temporary branch of Shangshutai (province) set up outside.  It began to exist in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and became popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.  "Tai" refers to the central Shangshu Province, also known as Xingshangshu Tai or Xingtai Province.  In the late Northern Dynasties, it was called Shangshu Daxingtai, and the establishment of officials was tantamount to the central government, forming its own administrative system.  For example, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, He Bayue was the Daxingtai of Guanxi Road; He Basheng was the Daxingtai of South Road; Hou Jing was the Daxingtai of Henan Road.  In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Duguxin was the leader of the Southeast Road; Wang Sizheng was the leader of the East Road.  The Northern Qi Dynasty even used Xingtai as the first-level local administrative and military organization.

    (Later generations praised the provincial system and felt that the Yuan Dynasty made many remarkable innovations, but in fact they were all leftovers from previous generations)

    Since entering the Sui Dynasty, in the second year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian established Hebei Dao, Henan Dao, and Southwest Dao Xingtai Shangshu Provinces in the three prefectures of Bing, Luo, and Yi, and his sons Yang Guang, Yang Jun, and Yang Xiu each served as Xingtai Shangshu.  Later, the Henan Dao Xingtai was abandoned, and Shannan Dao Xingtai and Huainan Dao Xingtai were set up in Xiangzhou and Shouchun.  Both of these platforms were set up due to the cutting of Chen, and the matter was settled.  In the ninth year after the founding of the Emperor, all Xingtai were abolished, and the four general administration offices of Merger, Yang, Yi and Jing were established.

    In the Sui Dynasty, only princes held the position of Xingtai, and there was almost no precedent for setting up Xingtai for ministers.  The power of this Xingtai is too great, almost like that of a feudal lord, and cannot be granted to others easily.

    Therefore, Yang Guang was quite confused.

    What Yu Shiji said makes sense. Hebei is not a borderland.  When we get to the border, war is the most important thing. As long as the war is fought, it won't be a problem.  But in the land of Hebei, aristocratic families are spread all over, and there are countless remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty. They collude with bandits from all over the country, weave a big network, and usurp all rights. It is difficult for ordinary people to break this big network.

    Huang Mingyuan is capable enough, but he must be delegated power so that Huang Mingyuan has enough strength and space to deal with them.

    But the problem is that there is no precedent for granting ministers the power to travel to Taiwan. Once the ministers traveling to Taiwan have ulterior motives, it may be a serious disaster for the country.

    Yu Shiji saw through Yang Guang's hesitation and said: "The sage clearly knows that Duke Wei is loyal to the sage and is the pillar of the country. Even if he is granted the power of Xingtai, there will be no problem.  Moreover, Duke Wei was originally the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. When he arrived at the place, although he did not have the order to perform the task, he still had the right to perform the task. It would be better to set up the task platform and appoint important ministers to make his name justifiable.  "

    Yu Shiji¡¯s meaning is obvious. Huang Mingyuan¡¯s influence is so important that even if he doesn¡¯t set his own agenda, his power cannot be reduced.  Rather than letting Huang Mingyuan do his own thing, it is better to set up a platform and draw a framework for Huang Mingyuan.  If it still fails, it is better to appoint more trustworthy people to the officials in Xingtai than to be uncontrollable.

    Yang Guang thought for a long time and finally agreed to Yu Shiji¡¯s suggestion.

    So Yang Guang issued an edict to set up a Hebei Daoxingtai. Huang Mingyuan, the minister's right servant, led the Hebei Daoxingtai Shangshu Order to control the military and political affairs of the 19 counties in Hebei and the Andong Protectorate, and to take charge of the suppression of bandits in Hebei.

    He also appointed Yang Yichen, the Minister of Rites, to concurrently lead the Zuopushe, the Minister of Xingtai, Hebei Province, and Li Jing, the General of the Right Military Guard, to concurrently lead the Right Pushe, the Minister of Xingtai, Hebei Province.

    The order of Xingtai Shangshu is the second rank of Zheng, and the rank of minister Pushe is the second rank of Cong.  Yang Yichen and Li Jing were both military commanders. They had always been loyal and upright, and they were important ministers. Yang Guang still trusted them.  The two of them are Huang Mingyuan's assistants. They will not restrict Huang Mingyuan, but they can also ensure their control over Hebei Daoxingtai.

    Although the establishment of Hebei Daoxingtai was sudden, everyone was not surprised.  The emperor is accustomed to doing whatever he wants, and some conventions cannot stop him.

    ¡°Furthermore, Huang Mingyuan is sufficient regardless of his identity, status, and achievements, and it is not unexpected to serve as the Minister of Xingtai.  Moreover, the situation in Hebei was ruined and reached an uncontrollable situation, so the court had to take heavy measures to manage it.  Everyone thought that Duke Wei was in charge of Hebei, and if he wanted to cause trouble in Hebei, it would be settled.

    After Huang Mingyuan learned the news, he repeatedly declined, but Yang Guang finally refused.

    Huang Mingyuan also said that the emperor had served as the minister of Xingtai. He wanted to avoid it, but Yang Guang still refused. He bluntly said that he "is already the right servant of the minister. How can he be the minister of Xingtai and still be the servant? Isn't it a demotion?"

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't resist the emperor, so he had to accept it.

    This time the platform was set up, thanks to Yu Shiji¡¯s advice.

    It¡¯s not that Huang Mingyuan and Yu Shiji have formed an alliance, but because the situation is such that Yu Shiji has no choice but to please Huang Mingyuan and form a good relationship.  He himself knew that he had no way out. Although he was favored now, after Yang Guang passed away, all the emperor's faults would be blamed on him, and he might not be able to die well.  But he also wanted to keep his family safe, so after much deliberation, he had no choice but to start with Huang Mingyuan.

    Huang Mingyuan was also happy to have such a good relationship with Yu Shiji, so he reciprocated the favor and made Yu Shiji's son Yu Rou the director of the General's Mansion, which also left Yu Shiji with a queen.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
