The excitement in Chengdu has been continuing, and the enthusiasm of the people and merchants in Chengdu has not been reduced due to the return of generals. The situation of King Yong's wedding has always been the hottest topic. Gu Qingfeng's face has been rumored to be shocking.

According to folk customs, today is the day to go back to the door. The Gu brothers were dragged until today and did not return to the base, just waiting. They were not sure whether Gu Qingfeng would return to the door like a normal woman.

However, when he saw the middle gate open and the servants kneeling all over the ground, he knew that Gu Qingfeng was back. What surprised him was that Meng Yan also came with him.

Gu Yanfeng pulled his sleeve before he realized. The two of them rushed over quickly and were about to kneel down. Meng Yan stopped directly: "Today I am accompanying the princess back home, so I will be spared. Brother Yanfeng knows that I hate the most.

Kneeling."

The two of them were not pretentious and quickly welcomed them into the door. The heavy snow for three consecutive days made the whole courtyard look vast. Unlike the northern area, the structure of the southern courtyard is more gentle and less solemn.

Gu Qingfeng was naturally welcomed into the inner house by his sister-in-law. Gu Xifeng had not yet married. In this year, Gu Yanfeng brought his wife to his house to live. First, Gu only had two of them, and second, considering that Gu Qingfeng might return to the door.

It is not suitable for women who have no identity in the mansion, so they simply merged into the two mansions to celebrate the New Year.

Mrs. Gu Yanfeng also has her own thoughts. First, she was worried that she would be embarrassed to accompany Gu Qingfeng alone, so she invited Yu Geng's family, who was still in Chengdu, to accompany her. Second, Gu was quite embarrassed in the Western Palace,

Thinking of winning over some generals for his husband, Yu Geng's family was about to give birth. Third, Gu Xifeng has been single and has not married. Yu Geng's young girl has not yet gotten married, so she wonders whether she can be a matchmaker before she gets married.

The Gu brothers naturally had to accompany Meng Yan to have tea in the main hall. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Meng Yan took the lead and said, "Brother Yan Feng, how have the Secretary of the Shangshu done these days? What's the difference between it and the army?"

"Prince, the Shangshutai is very different from the army. I really admire Mr. Zhuo's energy and sigh that he is not as good as him." Gu Yanfeng said this correctly, and he became the Shangshu Shishu. After a few days, he almost broke up.

"The government affairs are complicated, just sort it out carefully. Don't worry. A group of scholars will come after the New Year. You should still have detailed regulations on the selection methods of scholars."

"Yes, I have been discussing with Mr. Zhuo for a long time, but I have never been able to come up with a very good constitution. Since Mr. Cheng Changwen of the previous dynasty established the nine-rank system, the selection of scholars for thousands of years has been the case. The disadvantages have long been highlighted." Speaking of government affairs Gu Yan

The wind talked more and the expression became natural.

"You must be cautious in selecting talents, and the most important thing is fairness. I think the recommendation system before the Nine-rank system can be used. Among grassroots officials, the government affairs departments in various places can be inspected, and the recommendation will be confirmed at the previous level and reported at all levels.

, confirm step by step, and finally confirm whether it is desirable by the Shangshu Desk."

"The prince's words are reasonable, and with the supervision of Mingjian Department, it is obvious whether this person can be used. It's just that the power of the Government Affairs Department and Mingjian Department is too great." Gu Yanfeng reminded.

"What you said makes sense. What if the CITIC Institute is allowed to exercise supervision power? All candidates must be supervised by the CITIC Institute before they can be reported." Meng Yan frowned.

"This is good enough. It is linked together and is no longer a one-man show. On the one hand, it can select real talents, and on the other hand, it also strengthens the supervision of power. The prince is wise!" Gu Yanfeng admired Meng Yan more and more and more.

, suddenly remembered something, and then said, "Prince, officials are now inherent. What should other scholars who want to serve in the poor family? If you still follow this selection, it will easily cause chaos."

Meng Yan pondered for a while and said, "I remember when I was a child, when I was practicing in the Dark Night Guard, no matter what my identity I had, I had to go through strict competition selection. If this method was used to select the soldiers.

?”

Gu Yanfeng suddenly fell into deep thought. Seeing Gu Yanfeng thinking about things, seeing Gu Xifeng who was so bored that he was yawning, Meng Yan smiled and said, "What? Government affairs are boring?"

"Your Majesty, don't blame me. I have been troubled by government affairs since I was a child. If I can't read two documents, I will fall asleep." Gu Xifeng hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"It's okay, it's just a family talk. Not everyone can do government affairs. I don't have the patience. When will you go to the north of Sichuan with Qingshuo?"

"Ship Qing asked me to go back after the fifteenth. I thought about leaving in two days. The General's Mansion was set in Jiange. The Sichuan soldiers who surrendered before also need to be rectified and cannot stay in Chengdu." Gu Xifeng was still a little nervous.

"Since Qingshuai has spoken, you don't have to worry. The White-clothed Army is stationed in Mianzhou, Langzhong and Dazhou. It has the most troops, but it is quite complicated. You are the deputy general appointed by Qingshuai, so it's better to listen to him."

Mianzhou, Langzhong, and Dazhou are the three towns in northern Sichuan. The general in northern Sichuan is in charge of military affairs. The military flag "White-clothed Army" granted by Meng Yan, can be said to be the first army in the Western Prefecture.

When Chen Zhiqing chose the deputy general, Chen Zhiqing chose Gu Xifeng without hesitation. He asked Chen Zhiqing why, but Chen Zhiqing was just evasive, but did not speak out.

"Listen to the prince," then paused and said embarrassedly: "It's just that, can you not let me be the governor of Dazhou? I really don't have this talent."

"Hahaha! I can't help this, you can hold it up first. Brother Yanfeng is so anxious that he is scratching his head. This is their Shangshutai. If you feel unwilling to accept it, you can go and make a big fuss in Shangshutai. This king

Support you!" Meng Yan deliberately said this in order to adjust Gu Xifeng's embarrassment.

"Forget it, Shen Xingshi is not a good place. The prince said to be patient, so let it be patient first." Gu Xifeng finally let go of his uneasiness when he heard Meng Yan's tone.

"By the way, what do you think of the garrison between Yiling and Jiangxia?" Meng Yan has been unsure of the military affairs combination of Jiangxia and Yiling.

"The prince, Yiling and Jiangxia have a special geographical location. With the relationship between our Xifu and Nanfu, we can completely reduce the garrison in Dongchuan. It is relatively better for Yiling to be governed by the General Office of Dongchuan. Our main goal is still

Yuan Changli." When it comes to military affairs, Gu Xifeng's interest comes.

Meng Yan nodded, "You are right. Yesterday, the Grand Governor's Office had issued a notice that Yiling was officially incorporated into the jurisdiction of the General Office of Dongchuan. However, Yu Geng did things too casually and had to give him a steady person."

Gu Xifeng rolled his eyes secretly, and had already ordered it and asked himself what he was doing. Isn’t this just a test? I can’t do the job of electing candidates by myself. Most of the generals in the Western Prefecture just know and are not familiar with it.

Seeing that Gu Xifeng didn't say anything, he knew that he had concerns and had a choice in his mind, but the general who could be of great use in the Western Palace was really stretched and he had to push one up if he moved.

For a moment, the three of them fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet. Suddenly, Gu Yanfeng said loudly: "Prince! Can we use the method of setting questions to evaluate?"

"Tell me?" Meng Yan became interested and was not angry because of his rudeness.

"We can organize a group of Confucian scholars, and they will give the test questions, and then another group of Confucian scholars will judge. How about the shortlisted person submits it to the royal palace for confirmation?" Gu Yanfeng said excitedly.

Meng Yan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said, "Just do it bigger, create academies in various prefectures and counties, and start teaching from young children. Whether it is a male or female, one exam a year or two, those with excellent grades can enter the previous level.

For academies, third-level selection, as long as you can enter the state academies, you can participate in the big exam.”

"Your Majesty, it is naturally good to do this, but where can ordinary people have money to cultivate cultural context? It is also difficult to prevent men and women from doing things." Gu Yanfeng felt a little embarrassed.

"The money and grain are allocated from the treasury of the Xifu Palace. One day in the college, and one day in the Xifu Palace. As for men and women, things are simpler. Men have men's academy and women have women's academy. You will not forget that Qingfeng is also a leader in cultural heritage, and Su Qing is even more

With the title of Chenghou, women may not be inferior to men sometimes." Meng Yan said domineeringly.

Gu Yanfeng stood up and gave a big gift to Meng Yan, and said excitedly: "Prince, I always think you are just trying to fight for the world. What you said today is a great merit. I know the future is difficult, but I am willing to

Go and do it, please leave this matter to me! It will definitely be effective within three years!"

After Meng Yan slowly drank the tea in the tea bowl, he walked step by step to Gu Yanfeng and pressed his right hand on his shoulder and said, "Selecting scholars is a century-old thing. Be cautious and remember to be fair and just.

Can you do it if you are open and selfish?”

Gu Yanfeng politely said again: "Gu Yanfeng swears to the sky here that if you have selfish intentions, the gods of heaven and earth will kill them together!"

"Get up, I am determined to move Taoli Academy to Chengdu. All localities must set up academies within half a year to attract local poor scholars. The first test will be held in October. I will recommend that the Shangshutai appoint you as the central government order and take charge of the world.

To recruit soldiers, regardless of gender, no matter whether they are civil or military." Meng Yan looked at Gu Xifeng specifically when he spoke, hoping that Gu Xifeng could spread this matter in the army as soon as possible.

"I will live up to my mission!" Gu Yanfeng's excitement was beyond words, and he even called himself a minister. This was a taboo, but Gu Yanfeng was willing to do so.

Meng Yan didn't care about the problem of title, and didn't expect to take his wife back to the door to solve a big thing in his heart. It was worth marrying this wife.

At this time, Gu Qingfeng and his family came out to salute Meng Yan. Gu Qingfeng brows moved. It was obvious that something was wrong. Meng Yan immediately understood and said, "Don't you start the meal yet? Let me, my son-in-law, go hungry?"

Gu Xifeng slapped his forehead and shouted quickly: "Come here! Serve the food quickly!"

Gu Qingfeng naturally walked to Meng Yan, paused for a moment to distance himself from several people, and whispered: "Prince, how about Miss Yu's?"

Meng Yan smiled slightly, knowing Gu Qingfeng's thoughts, Yu Geng's sister looks similar to Yu Geng. Although Yu Geng is a powerful general in the Western Palace, he is a handsome guy. As long as he doesn't open his mouth and speaks, he will definitely be mistaken.

I think that the rich young man is naturally a beautiful girl.

"What do you ask me about this? I don't plan to take a concubine." Meng Yan teased deliberately.

Gu Qingfeng pinched him gently and said angrily: "The prince is not a good person. I am asking you if my brother and the sister of the Yu family are in line!"

"It's quite a good match, but this is someone else's business. They both have to feel it." Meng Yan said with grinning in pain.

"Do you know how many unmarried young people are in Xifu? The women in Liangchuan have been beautiful since ancient times, and they are all young people. Are you not afraid of weathering in the army?"

"That's why I married you. You are the mistress of the Western Palace. I'll leave this to you." Meng Yan smiled and Gu Qingfeng was finally trapped.

"You have already thought about it, right?" Gu Qingfeng then felt like he was on the pirate ship.

"Haha! Madam is wise. An Can likes the girls in Chaoqun. In this way, you practice with your brother and An Can first."
