Chapter 217: Yin and Yang: New Words

"War zone?" Chen Zhiqing was a little surprised, and then continued: "This 'war zone' proposed by Gu Xiang is very novel. โ€

Gu Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Qingshuai, it's not a major reform of the military system, is it to be refined?" You can give us a little bit, let us know the bottom of our hearts. โ€

Chen Zhiqing coughed lightly a few times and said with a smile: "You are the prime minister of our Daxuan, so you can't hold your breath?" Your Majesty has summoned you here to talk with you about how to better manage the army and balance the relationship between the local government and the army. โ€

Everyone was speechless, not knowing what to say, Gu Yanfeng's new words were ambiguous, and they could roughly understand what they meant, but they really didn't dare to speculate on the specifics, and everyone's eyes turned to Gu Yanfeng with Chen Zhiqing's gaze.

When he was embarrassed, Fang Keming, the new scholar in the cabinet, brought a large number of maps from outside and came in cautiously, this is Yan Lan's person, Yan Lan frowned and reprimanded: "Fang Keming! How can you be so reckless in Your Majesty's Bookstore! โ€

Fang Keming was not afraid, his face was very resolute and old, and he said politely: "Fang Keming has seen all the adults, Yan Gong, it was His Majesty who summoned me to sort out the geographical map of mountains and rivers for nearly 20 years and send it over. โ€

In the face of such a group of bigwigs, there are not many fearless young officials in Daxuan, and there are two cabinets among the few people who worry Yanlan, one is Fang Keming in front of him, and the other is Yuan Huaiying, the cabinet on duty today, these two people live up to their surnames, Fang Keming is a square and serious person, and he is decisive and decisive, while Yuan Huaiying is mellow and resourceful, and he is relaxed and moderate. โ€

"Duke Yan doesn't have to be so demanding of his subordinates, since His Majesty has a call, just let him do his own thing." Chen Zhiqing admired Fang Keming very much, and smiled in the round field.

Chen Zhiqing spoke, and Yan Lan didn't say much, just gave Fang Keming a look.

After a long while, Meng Yan wiped her hands and said embarrassedly: "The little girl has a good temper, she peed on me, I'm sorry everyone." โ€

Everyone wanted to laugh, but they all held back, and it was really funny that the dignified overlord was actually cleaned up by an infant baby.

Gu Yanfeng, as the uncle of the initiator, smiled comfortingly: "Your Majesty prefers the little princess to be a loving father, and she should be a model for me to proclaim." โ€

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then had to give Gu Yanfeng a thumbs up, this sycophant was patted, no wonder he was the first phase of Daxuan.

After a round of sycophants, Meng Yan stopped this behavior, because he heard that although these people were good words, they were actually laughing at him, and said: "Keming, give each adult a copy, let them see, you go and ask the people from the Inner Guard Mansion to inform the dining room to prepare for food, today will not end too early, and after the closure of the office later, I will come over with Huaiying to observe, this fee is ยทยทยทยทยท" Meng Yan's eyes rolled for a moment, smiled maliciously, and then said: "This expense is recorded in your cabinet, and the merchant marquis keeps the account.

When Tu Shanyinyuan heard this, he immediately threw his hand at Yan Lan with a black face, "Then thank you Yan Gong." โ€

Yan Lan said to Fang Keming with a dark face: "It's all a handful of age, Keming, let the dining room prepare some good food, don't be hasty, when the time comes, people will think that our cabinet is slamming the door." โ€

This little episode relieved everyone's originally somewhat cramped mood a lot, and Fang Keming didn't laugh, just went out as soon as he gave up.

Meng Yan smiled and said: "You look at it first, I said a few words, let's declare stability in the grassland, Haiqing City also belongs now, if you can't finish the war, you don't care, people's livelihood, military, commerce, etc. need to develop as soon as possible, Haiqing City is the main road to the Western Regions, which relieves the pressure of our business, and also brings pressure to Daling, but we also have troubles, and the customs between various ethnic groups and so on need to be solved as soon as possible, I feel that it is time to adjust the situation of government affairs and military affairs, just now I heard Gu Xiang say one' War Zone', yes, I also have a few 'neologisms' for you to listen to, 'province', 'authority', 'representative', 'standing office'. โ€

A series of new words made everyone a little confused, including Gu Yanfeng and Chen Zhiqing, who have always been familiar with Meng Yan's thoughts, are frowning and thinking about the connotation of these new words, the first thing that can be determined is that His Majesty wants to establish a complete set of administrative and military systems, not to mention a new policy, but it is also a big change.

The most confused are Da Xi Qianbi, Gu Siman and Gao Shuo Yanxi, they are not even very familiar with the current system of Daxuan, and now these new words are coming, they are really a little overwhelmed.

However, no one spoke, no matter whether they understood it or not, they first looked at the geographical map of mountains and rivers, the scenery of various places, and the contradictory documents prepared for them by His Majesty.

Meng Yan was not in a hurry, he took care of himself and tasted the tea, and the hall was quiet, until the sun went down, Gu Yanfeng took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these 'new words' are feasible, since ancient times, power has been attributed to the upper class, Your Majesty set up the People's Court in the early years, and the word 'authority' should originate from here." โ€

It is worthy of being the first minister of Daxuan, and after half a day's effort, he roughly understood the meaning, Meng Yan smiled, and the head of the civil officials could understand the meaning and also express their support, and things would be easy to do.

"Gu Xiang is very agreeable, my official system is redundant, this is not to say that we are not dedicated, but we have been set up for many years to fight against foreign countries, and now it is time for some changes, so that everyone can go their own way, and it is imperative to have clear powers." Meng Yan struck while the iron was hot and said, first set the tone, let these bigwigs discuss it according to the tune.

"Your Majesty, the war zone is actually the integration of the current general and the marshal's mansion in our dynasty, and it has been difficult for our dynasty to clarify the relationship between the local government and the military, and this matter is indeed going to be innovated, what do you say, the governor of Daxi?" Chen Zhiqing understood what Meng Yan meant, and it was always right to follow the emperor's meaning.

Da Xi Qianbi was named, and he was a little nervous all of a sudden, and hurriedly responded: "Qing Shuai is right, now the marshal's mansions and the major generals' mansions are indeed chaotic in the transfer of troops, conscription, and food and grass. โ€

The topic is opened, and things can be talked about until dark, and everyone is still arguing, but this is a benign argument, Fang Keming and Yuan Huaiying were scared when they came to deliver the meal, Yan Gong and Gu Xiang were red-faced, these two are exemplary among civil officials, and this is the first time I have seen such a scene.

Meng Yan saw the two of them bringing food in, and stopped with a smile: "Everyone, let's eat first, things can't be decided in a day, there is always a process." โ€

For example, the focus of the dispute between Yanlan and Gu Yanfeng is that if a "province" is set up in a locality, then whether the governor of a province has the right to dispose of it prerogatively, and whether the governor of the province has to take up a post in the army, etc.; Chen Zhiqing and several members of the military were discussing whether the setting of the war zone should correspond to the locality; And Chao Qun and Tu Shan Yinyuan talked about how to improve the status of logistics business.

The original plan was to have a general program in this half a day, what Meng Yan didn't expect was the mood and attitude of these courtiers, and they discussed in the emperor's bookstore for three days, so that the families of the various prefectures thought that something happened to them, and they all asked Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingfeng only came and left, and she could not participate in the decision-making of major national affairs, her task was to appease the families of the various prefectures.

Meng Yan regretted it a little, he was too tired to deal with government affairs and mediate the disputes of the bigwigs for three days, even more tired than going to the battlefield.

Three days later, Meng Yan looked at the stack of freshly baked documents piled up on the table, the heads were all big, these bigwigs finally sent away, but left the emperor with documents that he couldn't read for a day and a night, Meng Yan was not good at scolding them, after they left, they had to report to various places according to the agreed results, each had its own things, and Meng Yan was already easy, just need to integrate a complete plan, just when Meng Yan was bored, he saw Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming who were busy outside, and smiled.

"Huaiying, Keming, the two of you take these things away, sort out and adjust a complete plan within ten days, and if you have any questions, you can communicate with the heads of various divisions."

The two young officials thought that His Majesty was going to train them, where could they have thought that His Majesty simply didn't want to get it, the two were grateful, one of them left in a hurry with a stack of things, and after the two left, Meng Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, "These ghosts, a handful of age, where is such good energy!" โ€

After Meng Yan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lay down, in the past, Gu Qingfeng would appear at this time to massage him, but this time he waited for a long time and didn't appear, Meng Yan slowly got up, only to see An Cang standing outside the hall, and asked, "An Cang, where is the queen?" โ€

"Your Majesty, Niangniang left the palace early in the morning and has not returned yet."

Meng Yan looked surprised, what happened to make Gu Qingfeng go out for a day and couldn't solve it, and asked, "Is something wrong?" โ€

"Your Majesty, Yingshuai and Chenghou made a big fuss at home, Chenghou Fei dragged Yingshuai to the inner courtyard to merge and separate, and a student in the main courtyard of Qingyang Academy had an affair with the daughter-in-law of the women's college, and the girl's parents made a big fuss in the academy."

Meng Yan's face was gloomy immediately after hearing this, years of guidance were still not enough, and there was no way, although the royal family set an example, but the people still found it difficult to accept, whether it was Zhou Ce or Huo Youji, although they were all born commoners, but after all, they had a knighthood, and to put it bluntly, it was still a political marriage on the surface.

"Since the queen is gone, we don't have to worry about it, let Yan Que go over to protect her." Meng Yan didn't plan to go over, after all, this marriage was the queen's business, and it was inconvenient and unreasonable to interfere by himself.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang ordered Yan Que to accompany her early in the morning, and there is no problem with safety."

Meng Yan was stunned and said, "Oh, that's okay, what are they doing, prince?" โ€

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and His Royal Highnesses King Yong and King Shu went down to comfort the Snow Wolf Army, and the minister sent five hundred internal guards to accompany him." An Cang is still unwavering.

Although a lot of things happened, but all the things were handled with all their hearts, Meng Yan was very satisfied, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "An Cang, your An family is also a wealthy family of our big announcement, you can tell me how the wedding in your family is arranged, don't be nervous, let's just talk." Then he sat down on the stairs and let An Cang sit next to him.

An Cang was stunned for a moment, and then sat down slowly, he has always fulfilled Meng Yan's requirements to the letter, and of course he has to answer all questions.

"Your Majesty, the two brothers in the family of the school-age men, the woman is only the eldest girl of the brother's family, His Majesty once issued an edict in the first year of Taihe, requiring the people of Daxuan to be over eighteen men and sixteen women to talk about marriage, the eldest girl in the family is seventeen this year, and the sister-in-law has found a family for her, but this child has a phase, and the brother stopped the sister-in-law, but the man in the martial arts academy who is fancy to the girl did not agree." An Cang said word by word, without reservation, without concealment.

"What do you think, I remember that you also have a girl at home." Meng Yan asked with a smile.

"The minister thinks that as long as she is willing, this man's character is acceptable, and the minister doesn't want to stop it too much, but my girl's uncle, that is, the general of the court, disagrees, and he has been messing with me for a long time." When it comes to housework, it's also a headache.

"Alas, you have been by my side for many years, and the family is still like this, the marriage of our man and woman seems to be a trivial matter, but in fact there is a long way to go!"
