"What do you two think of these three memorials?" Meng Yan asked with a grimace while sitting in the main hall. He was not happy because of Gao Shuoren's demise, but rather felt helpless.

Yan Lan was the first to stand up and said: "I think Lu Ping and Di Xin are too extreme to be accepted as credible, but the memorial from Marquis Cheng can explain the problem better."

"Your words make sense, but conquering Haiqing City and ending the rule of the Gaoshuo people on the plateau is equivalent to destroying a country. It is unreasonable not to reward him." Gu Yanfeng still considered the overall situation.

"Everyone's opinions at the court meeting were very fierce. Nie Huan, Shi Ying, Zhuo Baiqing and others contacted a group of officials to demand punishment for Lu Ping. I think they were not doing it for the court, but for the orthodoxy they upheld." Meng Yan

He feels that the situation in the DPRK is very difficult. The cabinet is still growing and is not yet strong enough to confront the "Flame". Now the only courtiers he can fully trust are Gu Yanfeng and Yan Lan.

When it comes to Shi Ying and others, Gu Yanfeng and Yan Lan probably know what His Majesty is worried about. The "Flame" organization is getting bigger and bigger. At first, they didn't quite understand why His Majesty set up a cabinet. Now it seems that Your Majesty is right to take precautions. Yan Lan

After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, in this case, everyone in the Snow Wolf Mansion should receive a large reward, and some people can even be transferred back to Chengdu to serve. After all, the Governor's Mansion is somewhat out of control now."

Gu Yanfeng took a breath of cold air. Yan Lan had always been cautious and tried not to offend others with his words. This time he dared to face it. It was amazing. Gu Yanfeng was also quite helpless about the existence of "flame". Although he was a third

The first prime minister in Taichung, but he could not withstand the pressure from other people in Santai. Yan Lan dared to speak because he was the order of Chengdu, and Santai's restraint on him was almost useless. After all, Chengdu was the capital of Daxuan.

"What do you think, Prime Minister Gu?" Meng Yan looked directly at Gu Yanfeng.

Gu Yanfeng said without hesitation: "I second my opinion! What you said is consistent with your words! It is normal for those who have meritorious service to be rewarded. As for the faults, we can let the People's Affairs Bureau slowly analyze them."

Meng Yan suddenly burst into laughter, it was a good thing that both of them fell into the trap, and said with a smile: "Shang Shutai has drafted a decree, the Snow Wolf Commander's Mansion defeated Gao Shuo, pacified the grassland, benefited the country and the people, Lu Ping was promoted to the Duke of Liang, and returned to the capital

Rewarded; Di Xin was promoted to Marquis of Jincheng County and temporarily led the Snow Wolf Army; Jing Mu was granted the title of Marquis of Haiqing County, the prince son of Jianning County was succeeded by Jing Yi's second son, Gu Siman was granted the title of Bo of Ji County, and Gao Shuo Yanxi was granted the title of Pingchuan

Uncle, others will reward you based on your merits."

Gu Yanfeng had an unhappy look on his face and was put into a trap by Meng Yan again. He said unhappily: "According to the order, His Majesty's decree will be announced on the day when the army returns to the court."

Yan Lan acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and did not look at Gu Yanfeng's face at all. He was hiding, and thinking about His Majesty's thoughts. Jincheng, Jixian, and Pingchuan are all Longyou's cities. It seems that His Majesty

He had the idea of ​​attacking Longyou.

Just when the two were about to leave, Yan Que hurriedly entered the palace and presented an encrypted document to Meng Yan. Meng Yan's face suddenly changed after reading it, and he threw the document to the ground without saying a word. Gu Yanfeng was a little curious and picked it up.

After reading it for a while, I still broke into a cold sweat, and handed it to Yan Lan. After reading it, Yan Lan was shocked: "This Lu Ping dares to insult the Gaoshuo royal family! He doesn't want his life!"

Meng Yan closed his eyes and looked gloomy. After a while, an extremely cold voice said: "Prime Minister Gu, change the Duke of Liang to the Duke of Liang! Don't hide it, tell Xuelang Mansion directly!"

Gu Yanfeng sighed and said, "I obey your order. Your Majesty is tired from working today. Please rest. I will take my leave."

"Wait a minute," Meng Yan stopped them, then looked at Yan Lan and said, "The edict has been drawn up at the Chancellor's Desk, and the Chengdu Order Yan Lan will enter the cabinet and also be in charge of the Chengdu Order!" After saying that, he stood up and walked to the back hall.

The three of them were stunned. The Yan family and his son looked at each other in confusion. Gu Yanfeng reacted first and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going to launch the cabinet in advance. The Chengdu Order is equivalent to the Zhongtang, but His Majesty allows you to enter."

The cabinet is also in charge of the Chengdu Order, and it is obvious that the cabinet and the three offices are in parallel, I congratulate you."

Yan Lan shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty's decree is the product of rage. I'm afraid the court will be shaken!"

Meng Yan's move directly affected the situation of the Daxuan court. Santai was the center of the government affairs of Daxuan. The cabinet was originally the entourage to assist the emperor in handling daily affairs. Yan Lan's entry into the cabinet represented the rapid improvement of the status of the cabinet. As for the three

Taiwan and Taiwan kept pace with each other, once again dividing the power among the three Taiwan.

"Commander Ying, what does your Majesty mean by this? By letting Yan Lan join the cabinet, is this against us?" Zhuo Baiqing was very dissatisfied.

As the dean of the martial arts academy over the years, Shi Ying finally became calmer. He crossed his legs and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The power of our 'Flame' has restrained Prime Minister Gu. I heard that His Majesty summoned Yan Lan and

When Mr. Gu was talking about the reward from the Snow Wolf Mansion, the Mingjian Division sent a secret letter from Haiqing City. It is probably related to this. You guys! It is indeed a bit too much. Who is Lu Ping? You actually roped him into it.

Flame', Your Majesty is reminding us not to go too far."

Nie Huan said worriedly: "Two of you, in recent years, there have been more and more people from our 'Flame' in Santai, the Fourth Academy, various departments and even localities. Your Majesty may have been afraid of it for a long time. This may have been his intention when he set up the cabinet."

Well, we really made a mistake in recruiting Lu Ping this time."

"Your Majesty has such a decentralized power. When the imperial power falls away, the entire Daxuan will be endangered. I think we should organize people to write to your Majesty, asking him to cancel the cabinet!" Zhuo Baiqing's anger became more and more intense.

After hearing this, Quan Ying's face suddenly changed and she said angrily: "Zhuo Baiqing! Don't do this nonsense! The 'Flame' was created because of Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, we are nothing. Your brother's alliance with the King of Xiang is not far away. You

Do you want us to make the same mistake again?"

Nie Huan stood up, then slumped down and murmured: "Threatening the imperial power, Commander Ying means threatening the imperial power!"

Quartz took a long breath and said: "Yes, if the 'Flame' continues like this, it will threaten the imperial power. The reason why Your Majesty allows the 'Flame' to exist is because we have always upheld a fair attitude that the imperial power is supreme, but we went to win over the generals in the army.

It has already made His Majesty suspicious of whether we are still innocent. If we still don’t know how to give up, let’s see, I, the Master of the Martial Arts Academy, have come to an end.”

"As Mrs. Sister-in-law is in charge of the Inspection Bureau, we should still have a chance." Zhuo Baiqing also started to worry, but he didn't want to give up yet.

This time, not only Quartz, but also Nie Huan looked at Zhuo Baiqing with strange eyes. Quartz said in an unbelievable tone: "Zhuoxiang, are you confused? What kind of person is my wife? You don't know.

Do you know? Not to mention that she and His Majesty are considered brothers and sisters, the Queen and the Empress also have a deep affection for her as a sister, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats her as an aunt. She also founded the Mingjian Division with her own hands. The reason why the 'Flame' survives is because of His Majesty's protection.

Otherwise, with my wife’s character, we would have ceased to exist long ago.”

Nie Huan nodded in agreement, Zhuo Baiqing was stunned, and then said: "I'm just saying, maybe Madam-in-law will help us?"

Quartz waved her hands and said: "It's absolutely impossible. She is still rectifying affairs in Haiqing City. If she were in the mansion, you two would have been kicked out long ago. Forget it, don't get into trouble. What I mean is, let's restrain ourselves.

, Isn’t it good to keep your original intention?”

Zhuo Baiqing looked at Nie Huan for help. Once a person has power and influence, it is not easy to give up. "Flame" is already the most powerful organization in Daxuan, with almost the ability to influence government affairs.

Nie Huan thought for a moment, then raised his hands to Zhuo Baiqing and said: "Zhuo Xiang, I thought we should listen to the handsome man and play with fire and burn ourselves!"

Although he was unwilling to do so, with the facts before his eyes, Zhuo Baiqing had to agree with what the two said. Suddenly he remembered something and said cautiously: "You two, King Dongchuan is also an old man of our 'Flame'. Although we have been together over the years,

Not much, do you think there is hope?"

The two shook their heads in tacit understanding, and Nie Huan said: "Whether King Dongchuan or King Qin, we were just ministers of the Chen Dynasty back then, but now they are both royals, don't disturb them and don't provoke them."

Quartz continued: "King Dongchuan has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, and he is no longer that young man!"

Zhuo Baiqing looked up and sighed as if he was discouraged: "After many years of planning, I actually made a wedding dress for Yan Lan, a surrendered minister. I can't bear to accept it!"

The three of them were silent. Although Shi Ying and Nie Huan could see the situation clearly and knew how to give up in time, they were still unwilling to give up. "Flame" has been operating for many years, and it is not easy to have such a status in Daxuan.

As soon as the news of Yan Lan's entry into the court came out, there was a big shock in the entire court. With Gu Yanfeng's cooperation, the superficial voices in the court slowly disappeared, but the discussions outside the court became more and more intense.

, especially the students from the two colleges had their own ideas about government affairs and the military system. For a time, many petitions almost filled the chancery table.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who was the center of power, stayed away from court for two days due to the cold. This move aroused many reveries.

"You are just calculating people's hearts. You have made everyone panic." Gu Qingfeng complained while breastfeeding the little princess in his arms.

Meng Yan stared at Gu Qingfeng's chest with squinting eyes, and smiled: "I don't want to either. As we expand our territory more and more, and the new generation of officials gradually rises, some things are going to change, and Quartz

They really went too far and actually tried to win over Lu Ping, so they have to beat them hard."

Gu Qingfeng noticed that Meng Yan's eyes were wrong, turned around and cursed: "If you keep doing this, I will really enrich your harem."

Meng Yan chuckled and quickly apologized: "Madam, don't blame me, I haven't been a vegetarian for a long time!"

Gu Qingfeng ignored him and fed the child well, then asked the maid to take the child down to sleep. He walked to Meng Yan and poured him a glass of wine and said: "Are you thinking about something new? Brother, I've been thinking about it these days.

I want to come to the palace to find you every day, but all my messages are passed to me."

"No, I'm still thinking. It just so happens that you can analyze it for me?" Meng Yan took Gu Qingfeng into his arms. It was normal for his hands and feet to be restless.

Gu Qingfeng didn't pay attention to Meng Yan's restlessness. He said it was just a habit. For her, she was more enjoying and helpless. Let's talk about business and said: "I think you are doing it for institutional reasons, right?

"

Meng Yan smiled and said: "Sure enough, he is my darling. I guessed it right. Indeed, our Daxuan now seems to have smooth government affairs and a strong military. However, the current management is no longer enough to support the operation of the court. Some people have already proposed

I am still hesitating to restore the existence of Jiedushi."

"You still think that the military and government must be separated, right? I believe that Jiedushi will never be reinstated. Even if he retains this position, the military and government will never be integrated." Gu Qingfeng said firmly.

"The military system is fine. I don't want to change the commander's office, the general's office, the commander's office, etc., but the government management may need to be more detailed. After all, the army exists to protect the people, and the people's lives are

Closer to government affairs.”

"Your Majesty is wise, the Central Plains seems to be still in war, but in fact it has been subtly changing because of your presence. I believe that you can lead the Central Plains out of the mist! But sometimes you still have to give up what you should give up.
