Chapter 7 The New Pattern of North-South Confrontation (16)

Meng Yan began to return to Chengdu under Meng Huan's escort and made an appointment with Gu Qingfeng, who was in Changsha, to meet in Fuling. Surprisingly, in addition to the prince Meng Jingyan, Zhou Ce, who made great contributions, was also in the accompanying team.

Meng Yan and Meng Huan smiled knowingly as Meng Jingyan and Zhou Ce got along. Meng Yan said, "No, that's great. Lao Eleven, what do you think of Zhou Ce?"

Seeing that Meng Yan was in good condition, he understood that his condition had been adjusted, and he also responded with a smile, "Brother Qi, are you asking about private matters or official matters?"

Meng Yan wanted to kick him symbolically, and Meng Huan pretended to hide. Both brothers looked relaxed. As for Meng Jin, who was desperate to rush to Fuling, they were no longer considered.

"Everyone is public and private. You are an uncle and your subordinate. If something happens in the future, I will cause trouble for you!" Meng Yan said pretending to be domineering.

Meng Huan didn't care about etiquette at this moment and said, "Zhou Ce was brought out by the Empress. It has nothing to do with me. He has the talent of a general, but he still needs experience. Wanshu's character has not yet been determined, so it is not good to make up so early."

Meng Yan nodded and said, "I mean that. Your sister-in-law thinks that if Zhou Ce has no problem with his character, it would be better to make a decision in advance. This time she went to Changsha to supervise the battle, and the other was to help Wanyu see Huo Youji. Unfortunately, the talented girl in our family is no longer in the eyes of others. Your sister-in-law was so angry that she scolded Huo Youji for being ungrateful. Have you ever seen your sister-in-law be so angry?"

It is unimaginable that Gu Qingfeng was angry and cursing. In Meng Huan's heart, Gu Qingfeng was always gentle and could force her to swear. It seems that things are not small. As one of my brother-in-law, he must stand up for his sister-in-law and said with a smirk: "Brother Seven, please transfer that kid to my hands. One sheep is to drive and two sheep are also to put them in. For the happiness of our two girls, it is unavoidable to be an uncle!"

"You kid is interested in the abilities of these two people. You can save money, you can't give them all. I plan to set up a three-person command team in the army now. You can only keep one of them." Meng Yan saw Meng Huan's little thoughts.

Meng Huan grinned and said, "I want Tan Ji."

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a long time of reaction, he asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Although Zhou Ce is good, the two of us use troops to manage the troops vary greatly. Moreover, Zhou Ce is better at commanding the navy. After taking over Xixiang, he directly cut off the Han River with the surrendered navy. I think he should go to Jiangxia to command the navy, but Dongchuan and Hanzhong are mountainous, and Tan Ji's ability is to fight in the mountains." Meng Yan explained that this matter must be made clear, and it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, form cliques and cultivate personal power, Meng Huan has no intention and courage.

After hearing Meng Huan's words, Meng Yan was thinking, but could not make a decision for a moment, but said cautiously: "Don't be in a hurry. When you go back, you go to the Grand Governor's Office to discuss personnel arrangements. The people of Liangchuan have taken too much responsibility in recent years. They have to maintain them for several years. I plan to farm in Hanzhong and Liangchuan. You must be prepared. Hanzhong's land is fertile and the people are strong, so you should pay equal attention to kindness and power."

Meng Huan began to feel upset when he heard this. He asked himself to preside over the military and political affairs of Hanzhong, which meant that Dongchuan would re-arrange the defense. However, this was understandable. With Hanzhong and Yunmeng Jiujiang in front, the military deployment of the two Sichuans had to be somewhat changed. After all, the tasks undertaken by the rear and the front were different.

"Brother Qi, do you want to disarmament?" Meng Huan suddenly remembered something.

"The young man has been fighting for more than ten years. It's time for them to go back and reunite with their families." Meng Yan sighed.

The fresh word "Soldier System Reform?" is a bit difficult to say, but I don't know when the military counselors often spoke it, and Meng Huan was also learning to adapt.

"Yes, since last year, I have asked the Grand Governor's Office to start the reform of the military system. The number of people under our rule has increased year by year. From the beginning of seeking life to now, we have become a guardian of the people. The people's ideas have changed, and the qualities of our new recruits are also different. Therefore, the Grand Governor's Office's opinion is that every household must serve in the military, and both men and women must send troops. However, this kind of military service is limited to three years. After three years, personal wishes and literacy can be promoted to soldiers. Our main generals are mainly soldiers, and at the same time, we must distinguish the troops and fight together. The Grand Governor's Office has five military departments, infantry, cavalry, water, baggage, and farmland." Meng Yan did not intend to hide anything. Meng Huan is a general in the army. Among the first generation of generals, he is a junior, and among the second generation of generals, he is an elder, and his status is different from others. It is the most effective to have a clear understanding of it.

Meng Huan digested it for a long time and said: "The squad, cavalry, and water should be mainly soldiers, and the military farm should be mainly soldiers. Then, clarify the responsibilities between military defense and government affairs, which would be better."

"Okay, just be sure of it. This matter is not something that can be decided by one or two days. Three Bureaus, four halls and six departments, the Grand Governor's Office, the general managers of various places, and the General's Office, and the General's Office must participate. This is the national policy."

When Meng Yan deliberately increased the tone of the word "national policy", Meng Huan felt happy. Brother Qi said it was "national policy". Will the country be far away?

After Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng met, they were urged to return to Chengdu by Santai after just a little repair in Fuling. It seems that everyone can't wait. It should be said that they all want to take advantage of this new year to have a "new atmosphere".

"Qingfeng, look at them in a hurry. We have not returned yet. The country and year names have been decided." Meng Yan said in a mocking tone.

Gu Qingfeng took the report and took a closer look. The country's name was designated as four "Yong, Shu, Yin, Xuan" and the year's name was designated as three "Chuyuan, Jiankang, Benchu".

"What does Qilang think? This matter is really undesirable. During the days we left, Jingye wrote many times that the Yong Palace had been expanded, from the third hall to the fifth palace and the ninth hall. It is said that it was urged by Mr. Zhuo and his brother." Gu Qingfeng was also quite helpless.

Meng Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The country's name is 'Xuan', the year name..." After pausing for a moment, he said with great enthusiasm: "The year name 'Datong' is my only year name, so let's return it to them like this."

Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "It's not just these, what about the title? Official positions are not important. What is important is the title, whether it's hereditary or diminished, this is what they want."

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Shouldn't the title be discussed by Taiwan Three? Is this matter also my control?" He has a clear advantage and a little temper.

Gu Qingfeng stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea and gave it to his mouth, and said, "My Qilang! The founding title can only be Jun Zuo. Where can Santai dare to do it?"

"So troublesome?" Meng Yan muttered.

"No trouble, do you know why you didn't bring Wanyu up? It's just to make you think about these things. It's inconvenient for her, come on." Gu Qingfeng said as if coaxing a child.

The couple finally set a list when they were on the verge of collapse. Gu Qingfeng frowned and looked at it, saying, "My brother's title should be demoted one level, he cannot be the same as Jin Shuai."

"Why bother? He is also the uncle of the country. He still has to give this respect." Meng Yan still doesn't like Jin Qian in his heart, and he intends to do this.

"No, even the marquis of the county is enough. He has military merits, so I can't say anything, but the county magistrate is too high, so it's not possible!" Gu Qingfeng's attitude was firm.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng insisting, Meng Yan quickly coaxed him and said, "Okay, okay, listen to the Empress."

Seeing Meng Yan's extremely flattering look, Gu Qingfeng had no choice but to do anything to him, and he was not like an emperor who was about to establish a country.

On the first day of the New Year, the civil and military officials of the Western Prefecture did not give in three to three times. Meng Yan issued the last order of King Yong, and decided to establish a country in Chengdu. The country was named "Xuan" and the year was named "Datong". The people were happy under the rule. The officials praised it. Everything went smoothly and dull, and there was no strange fate from heaven, nor did they fly sand and stones. It was a bit different. It was just that Meng Wanshu was chasing Huo Youji in the Grand Governor's Office before the ceremony. Gu Qingfeng was so angry that he asked An Can to take her back to the harem. It was just for some reason. There were many rumors, and it was not clear until the day Huo Youji's wedding.

The ceremony was complicated. Meng Yan, who was tired from getting up at midnight to reading the first edict at noon, wanted to fall asleep, but the noisy sound forced him to hold on. Not long after, the highlight came and the enthronement began.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Gu Qingfeng has no doubt about the queen, Meng Jingyan is the crown prince, Meng Wanshu is the princess Baoqing, and Meng Jingyi is the king of Yong. This is done by Meng Yan specifically, and no matter who persuades you, it is useless.

Then, the title of king was first-class. Not many people in the Meng family could be promoted to the title of king. The title was rare in the Daxuan Dynasty, and the people of the Meng family also expressed their understanding.

Lu Chongzong was promoted to King of Xiang, Meng Jingye was promoted to Princess of Xiang, Lu Wanyu was promoted to Princess of Changsha, Meng Huan was promoted to Princess of Hanzhong, Meng Jin was promoted to Princess of Dongchuan, Meng Xin was promoted to Princess of Lingling, and the four kings were inherited.

Next is the enthronement of the duke. First of all, the first Duke was Zhuo Bailing, followed by Duke Tan Ye Bohuai, Duke Heguo Chen Zhiqing, Duke Hengyang County Gu Yanfeng, Duke Jiangxia County Que Ying, Duke Xichuan County Yu Geng, Duke Nayong County Jin Qian, Duke Beichuan County Gu Xifeng, Duke Wanzhou County Xue Zhen, Duke Yu County Denggang, Duke Yuezhou County Nie Huan, Duke Chenghou Su Qing, Duke Sanguo, Duke Four County Duke, and Duke Four County Duke are all hereditary dukes. Zhuo Baiqing, Duke Jianning County Jingyi, Duke Nanchuan County Yanlan, Duke Guang'an County Ancan, Duke Neijiang County Anan, Duke Liang County Gong'an, Duke Liang County Tong Yan, Duke Yeling County Gong Chaoqun is decreasing, and the most special here is Chenghou. The treatment enjoyed by Duke Chenghou is equivalent to Duke County, and the title of Chenghou belongs to Su Qing alone. After Su Qing's hundred years, he can choose one from his children to inherit.

Then there was the enthronement of the marquis, and none of the marquis could be inherited from the past. Xuan Song was promoted to the Marquis of Huai, the first marquis. Tu Shan Yin was promoted to the Marquis of Yiling, Deng Ang was promoted to the Marquis of Xiangyang, Zhou Ce was promoted to the Marquis of Xixiang, Tan Ji was promoted to the Marquis of Jingshan, Huo Youji was promoted to the Marquis of Chaisang, Gu Sheng was promoted to the Marquis of Ningnan, Rongxian Hou Yonghe, Yongchang Hou Jingpo, Nanjiang Hou Yenan, Fengxian Hou Mogeng, a total of eleven Marquis.

The Count is quite special, with only three people, Hengnan Bo Zheng Xi, Baoxing Bodixin and Jianyang Bo Jingmu.

The rest of the people were very dissatisfied with this, but through the three stations, they said that after pacifying the Central Plains for a long time, the titles were filled. After that, the dissatisfaction gradually decreased because everyone was holding their breath to make achievements.

The enthronement hall is approaching, and it is ended by the only prince, Xiang Wang, Lu Chongzong, after three calls, and this series of processes finally calmed down after the banquet.

"Your Majesty, wake up. Today is the fifth day of the lunar month. You have to go to the Political Consultative Hall to celebrate the New Year." Gu Qingfeng urged.

Meng Yan was so sleepy that he turned over and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry about me, I want to sleep. If you quarrel, I will marry a concubine!"

"Then I really want to congratulate Your Majesty. The harem should have enriched some people long ago. Otherwise, I would arrange for someone to select the girls?" Gu Qingfeng didn't care at all.

Meng Yan stood up, glared at Gu Qingfeng, and then said with great dissatisfaction: "You must dare to do this! Believe it or not, I will run away from the palace!"

"Your Majesty, please, by the way, the Jianyang Bo Jingmu you personally signed was recently sued by the Jianning County Duke to reflect on her home? Do you want me to help you ask for someone?"
