After hearing Yuanzhi say this, Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "That's what he said, but who can say the things like human hearts accurately?"

After saying that, Mo Zizai stopped obsessing with this question, but asked, "Where is Qi Xiu now? Let him come to my king's place."

Since this army has decided to hand it over to them, he must have met Qi Xiu.

"Go back to the prince, Qi Xiu is waiting in the prince's mansion."

After hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yuheng said directly: "If the prince wants to see him, just summon him directly."

"That's OK."

Mo Zizai nodded and said to Jia Fu: "Jia Fu, please bring Qi Xiu, so that I can also see this Tanhualang who is both literary and martial."

After receiving the news of Mo Zizai's summoning, Qi Xiu, who was waiting outside the mansion, rushed over quickly.

"The grass-roots and the people have cultivated each other, and have met the prince."

Qi Xiu bowed to Mo Zizai, showing neither humility nor arrogantness. After all, he has been a Tanhua person and he will not feel any fear of Mo Zizai.

"No gift."

Mo Zizai waved his hand and observed Qi Xiu. Qi Xiu was thinner and had a gentle temperament. He looked no different from other scholars. Just looking at his appearance, he couldn't tell at all that he was a fierce man who could chase and kill thousands of barbarians with seven hundred soldiers.

"Master Yuanzhi plans to lead the elite troops to wipe out the White Lotus Sect in the three counties. At this time, I agree."

Mo Zizai looked at Qi Xiu and continued, "But Master Yuanzhi has no experience in commanding the army, so he plans to let you command this army. I wonder what you mean?"

"Go back to the prince, the people are willing to go."

When I came here with Yuanzhi and the others, I already represented my attitude. Mo Zi’s inquiry at this time was just a routine.

"good."

Mo Zizai nodded and said, "You have experience in commanding troops and have served in the court, so I won't say much else."

"Qi Xiu obeys the order!"

Qi Xiu took a step forward and bowed to respond, "The grass is here."

Mo Zizai directly appointed him: "I will give you the position of a thousand households, temporarily under the Imperial Office, responsible for commanding a total of 1,600 elite soldiers from Jinlian Temple and Changchun Palace, and go to the three counties to clear the rebel party."

"Thousand Houses?"

Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment. Qianhu was a fifth-rank official. The appointment and removal of officials of this level required the emperor to nod. Now Mo Zizai was appointed directly, which made him feel like he was privately taught.

"Prince, do you need to ask Your Majesty for the appointment of Qianhu?"

After hesitating for a while, Qi Xiu couldn't help asking this question. After all, he didn't want to be arrested after he led his troops out of the capital.

"You don't have to worry about this. What I said is what Your Majesty said."

Seeing Qi Xiu's will, Mo Zizai didn't mind. He said directly: "Just just accept the order, Your Majesty will make up an edict."

Hearing Mo Zizai say this, and Mo Zizai is fully responsible for the matter that His Majesty had said in the morning, Qi Xiu understood instantly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The Prince and Your Majesty are in harmony, which is indeed a blessing for my Great Zhou."

After thinking it through, Qi Xiu no longer hesitated and directly responded: "The people who are in charge of the order."

After seeing Qi Xiu receive the order, Mo Zizai turned to look at Yuheng and Yuanzhi, "As for the two masters..."

Mo Zizai pondered for a moment and said, "Because the two of them have no official positions, they cannot directly grant official positions."

"So I can privately appoint two as deputy Qianhu, responsible for assisting Qi Xiu in charge of the army, but he only has real power and no official position. I wonder if the two are acceptable."

"I wish to listen to the prince's orders."

The two of them had no objection to Mo Zizai's arrangement. After all, they did not come to be officials. If they hadn't been worried that the people of the three counties would suffer war, they would not have made it.

"It's good if you don't have any opinions."

Mo Zizai nodded, then said, "Qi Xiu, this time, in addition to destroying the White Lotus Sect, you also need to protect Shi Zhipei's safety."

"He is now in charge of disaster relief in the three counties. If you go to the three counties, you must be controlled by him. If he has orders, you must not refuse. You can ignore the rest of the people."

"Mr. Shi Zhipei?"

Qi Xiu nodded slightly, "I have heard of Lord Shi Zhipei as a subordinate. If he is under his jurisdiction, there will be no problem with the subordinate."

"Well, that's good."

Mo Zizai continued, "Since that's the case, you can go and prepare first."

"If you want any weapons, equipment, supplies, and whatever you lack, go to the Ministry of War. When you are ready, you can just go to the three counties."

"The officials will receive the order."

After hearing what Mo Zizai said, Qi Xiu responded and followed Yuanzhi and Yuheng out of the palace.

"Oh, it's still not enough staff."

After they left, Mo Zizai sighed helplessly. If it weren't for his men who were not available, he wouldn't have let Yuheng and Yuanzhi and the monks join together to clear the White Lotus Sect.

When Zhou Qi heard Mo Zizai's sigh, he was also a little silent. He could not solve this matter. Most of the officials in the court were biased towards aristocratic families. For example, the officials of the Ministry of War were not unavailable to lead troops to fight, but they were either from aristocratic families or turned directly to King Bei'an. Mo Zizai had no use at all and dared not use it.

In contrast, although Qi Xiu and the other two came from sects, they were not involved with the aristocratic family, but Mo Zizai's best choice now.

"Forget it, let's resolve this matter slowly in the future."

Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "Jia Fu, go and call Yang Yanzhang over."

This time, Yang Yanzhang came out of the Imperial Army garrison, not just to eat the table.

Of course, in Yang Yanzhang's mind, eating mats is equally important, but in addition to eating mats, he has some important things to do.

After Yang Yanzhang came, Mo Zizai did not let him be too polite, but only asked him to find a seat to sit down and talk.

Mo Zizai didn't greet him too much, and asked straight to the point: "How is the Yuzhi Army training now?"

"There is no problem in general. The Yuzhi Army is an elite soldier. All I did was to make them familiar with my military orders. This was not too difficult."

Yang Yanzhang thought for a while and then spoke: "The biggest problem with the Yuzhi Army now is that he has never seen blood."

"Have you seen blood?"

After hearing Yang Yanzhang say this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but frown, "The people from Yuzhishi have experienced many bloody battles. How come they have never seen blood?"

“That’s different.”

Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said, "The Yuzhishi used to fight sporadically, and at most it was just a dozen people fighting side by side. It was different from the current established battle."

"What I mean by never seeing blood means that they have not experienced large-scale battles. Only after the Yuzhi army experienced a real battle will their mentality change."

"At that time, the Yuzhi Army will be called the Yuzhi Army."
