Chapter 691: Nominal Relatives
Chenguang asked Huo Wu to bring snacks to Xue Yao and Xue Peng to eat.
Shen Qingyi was very happy to see her and Shen Run together, and her eyes lit up a little. Shen Qingyi has a simple temperament, she doesn't understand too complicated political affairs, she just thinks that it is best for her brother and sister-in-law to be together like this.
While the three of them were talking, the palace people outside the tent came in and reported:
"Your Highness, King Yu and Princess Yu came to say hello."
Chenguang is not surprised that Shen Fan will come over, before the hunting, it is a courtesy to come over to greet him, and it is also to show closeness. Shen Run is still here, with Shen Yan's temperament, of course he wants to use this relationship to show his face in front of her.
"Let him in."
The palace people answered, and after a while, Shen Yan walked in from outside with Princess Yu Zhao, he bowed respectfully, and said to the morning light:
"Your Highness, please."
When he looked at Shen Run, he called out "Brother Huang".
After Chenguang occupied Long Xi Kingdom, Shen Fan was the first of the Shen family to surrender on his own initiative. He used to have a good relationship with Chenguang, and a declaration of surrender was also earnest, Chenguang didn't even cut him off the prince's throne, he was still Prince Yu.
Shen Biao is a man with ambition and small talent, but his ambition and his talent cannot support him to reach the highest position, and he does not have the courage to spare everything, so after Shen Run ascended the throne, he has been honestly doing what he can and being a high-powered and loyal prince. If he wasn't honest, Shen Run wouldn't let him live until now, the reason why he was able to live until now was because he was quite capable, knew the current affairs, and knew how to be satisfied.
Shen Fan is also almost thirty years old, he is a lot fatter than before, because he is busy with government affairs, his face is a little haggard. The once somewhat melancholy and somewhat romantic young man is gone, and now he is no different from an ordinary man, and his face will soon reach the top of maturity, and then he will go to aging. He is sleek, sophisticated, capable, and has a strong ability to handle official duties.
He's also excellent like this, an ordinary one.
He has become an ordinary man in life, he already has seven children, in addition to Zhao Rui, the main concubine, he also has three side rooms and a courtyard of concubines.
And Luo Bifan, who was once involved with him, was soiled with the soil due to illness last year, and that year was the war, although it was not the worst, but it is said that the ending was a little bleak.
Princess Yu Zhao Rui is no different from ordinary aristocratic women, she is more and more like her mother, virtuous and tolerant to her husband, clear rewards and punishments for concubines, and strict love for her children, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a perfect housewife, and some of her temperaments are becoming more and more like her husband.
They brought their eldest son and eldest daughter with them today, and they also wanted to bring the children to Chenguang to see them.
The couple knew the current affairs and could see clearly, they knew that they would live under Chenguang's hands in the future, and instead of making useless resistance, it was better to be obedient from the beginning and suffer less. Shen Run is still there, this is a good thing for them, at least they can get closer to others through the relationship of "uncle and sister-in-law", even if it is only a superficial relationship, it is better than nothing.
Although Shen Yan thought so in his heart, he still didn't dare to call Chenguang "Second Emperor Sister-in-law".
That's why he doesn't have the guts.
Chenguang did not cut Shen Yan's crown seat, but only transferred him to the Twelfth Guard, responsible for local military affairs.
After Chenguang occupied Longxi Kingdom, he abolished the system of three generals and six secretaries of Longxi Kingdom, rebuilt Wenxing Pavilion, and raised all the four secretaries and eight deputy secretaries of Fengming Kingdom to Wenxing Pavilion, Wenxing Pavilion only has the power of parliament and has no decision-making power.
After that, she imitated the Chiyang Kingdom to set up six departments, and divided the six secretaries of the original Longxi Kingdom into six departments. The military administration also learned from the Chiyang State, and set up 12 guards in Qi'an, in charge of 500 military offices across the country, mainly managing the recruitment and training of soldiers.
The generals of the Twelve Guards are the three grades, the official position is important, and the rank is also high, Shen Fan took the lead in the Twelve Guards, and the twelve generals are all Longxi people, which is a preferential treatment for Longxi people, and it is also to appease their hearts. But in fact, although the 12 Guards held an important position and were the yamen who managed and trained the national army, they did not have the right to dispatch troops. To put it bluntly, even though they manage the army of the whole country, in fact, they don't have a single soldier in their hands.
The Chiyang Kingdom is a sixteen-guard system, in addition to being in charge of the government soldiers, but also in charge of the Beijing Garrison and the Imperial Palace's Praetorian Guards, but this system was separated when it arrived in the Fengying Kingdom. The Twelve Guards only managed the government soldiers, and the two Beijing Garrison Battalions and the six Praetorian Guards were not under the management of the Wei Government, and the person in charge of the Beijing Garrison Battalion and the Praetorian Guard was the general Si Qian.
Therefore, even if Long Xiren held an important position, the most important official position was still held by Feng Mingren. This is a matter of course, but for the people of Longxi, they will still be dissatisfied because of this unfairness. They were already reluctant to be defeated, and the fact that they were treated differently only added to their grievances.
These are all euphemistically proposed by Shen Fan to Chenguang, Shen Fan suggested that two or three trustworthy Longxi people be selected from the twelve guards to be promoted, and the vacant positions will be filled by Fengming people, so that only a few people are promoted, but there are indeed Longxi people sitting in high positions, and most of them are Fengming people, and these few Longxi people can't make any waves. And there are also Feng Ming people in the twelve guards, so it seems fair, and Long Xi people can't say anything.
Of course, these words were not said on a formal occasion, but when Chenguang and Shen Yan were chatting, Shen Fan mentioned it. The few trustworthy people in his mouth, Chenguang knew, he was referring to himself.
Chenguang rejected his offer.
It's not that she is disgusted with Shen Yan's self-recommendation, it is human nature to want to seize the opportunity to soar, as long as she doesn't do bad things, it's good to be self-motivated, but giving Long Xiren the high position of the Twelve Wei Generals is already preferential, and she still wants to be fair, and she wants to replace Feng Mingren to sit in a higher position, which is to kick your nose and face.
Shen Fan was rejected, probably unwilling, he would occasionally find an opportunity to expose some gossip to Chenguang. He tried to tell her that tensions were raging in the court now because of unfair treatment. But Chenguang just listened, didn't make any movements, as if he didn't care.
Shen Run is more inclined to Shen Yan than his brothers, and Chenguang is similar, the nominal family gets together, and they don't feel a little harmonious when they talk.
Only Shen Qingyi is really happy, she really hopes that the family can be well.
At this moment, the big tent was opened, and Si Qian walked in quickly.
When people saw that Si Qian came in without a word, they were all stunned.
Si Qian didn't expect that there were so many people in the tent, and he was stunned for a moment.
Shen Run's eyes were slightly gloomy, thinking that these people around her really didn't have any rules at all.
Shen Xi noticed a hint of abnormality, he was obedient, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, the hunt will start in a while, and the minister will retire first."
Chenguang nodded, and didn't leave him alone.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyi thought that Chenguang had something to do, so she followed and left.
