Chapter 753 The Chief Secretary of the Secretariat
Guan Ji, escorted by maids with swords, went out with high spirits, preparing to cause trouble for her bodyguards.
Feng Yong shrank back into bed, preparing to take a nap.
It is a good thing that I am not depressed after childbirth, but actively find things to do.
It means that your own Xijun has a strong psychological endurance and can adjust himself.
As for the personal guards to suffer some punishment...aren't their subordinates just for betrayal?
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. This is a good thing. This is a good thing...
I just covered my head and slept for a while. I don’t know how long it took. In my daze, another servant came over to report that he was someone from the army.
“Zhang Yuan? What’s he doing here so early?”
Feng Yong rubbed his eyes, "Besides him, is there anyone else?"
“Return to the throne, there is no more.”
“Oh, okay, let him wait in the outer hall for a while, I’ll be there right away.”
I got up and put on my clothes casually, without packing them up, and just walked out like that.
Since he is his own student, he doesn’t have so many rules.
In the big bathhouse in Nanxiang back then, which of the best students had never washed each other?
“Why are you here so early?”
Feng Yong sat in the Taishi's chair in a very shameless manner and yawned.
Zhang Yuanfei not only did not feel that the mountain chief was rude, but instead thought that the mountain chief was not treating him as an outsider.
He respectfully handed over a booklet and said, "Chief Huishan, the post-war statistics have been made."
Feng Yong took it and flipped through it at will. It not only recorded the casualties, but also the loss of weapons and helmets, the consumption of food and grass, and even various pensions and so on.
Zhang Yuan’s work efficiency is very high, but what he did now made Feng Yong frown: “Why not send it to the secretariat?”
The earliest secretariat would only handle various matters according to Feng Yong's wishes.
By the time Amei took the leadership, he had learned to summarize all kinds of affairs.
While he was on an expedition and Guan Ji was raising her child, Zhang Xingyi took over the secretariat and was able to handle most common affairs on his own.
Of course, there will be a report afterwards.
The rules and procedures for dealing with matters like this after the war are already very mature.
Generally speaking, the secretariat will give priority to the registered records after sending people to verify them as soon as possible.
Zhang Yuan was a little confused, "Chief, doesn't it mean that the Secretariat has no right to handle it?"
Feng Yong was even more confused than Zhang Yuan, and then his face darkened, "Who said that? Why didn't I know?"
Someone bypassed me and made changes to the authority structure in the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion, but I didn’t even know about it?
Who is so bold when he is tired of living?
“Before coming here, the students went to the secretariat. But the people in the secretariat said that the person in charge was not here and they had no right to handle this matter.”
“The student didn’t know who to look for, so he had no choice but to come and find the mountain director.”
Who is the person in charge of the Secretariat? Dare you be so passive and sabotage your work?
Feng Junhou was furious at first.
Then he thought about it again, but in the end he just said, "I know, I will handle this matter."
Zhang Yuan then left in confusion.
Going back to the backyard, I went straight to the Nuan Pavilion and saw Zhang Xingyi leisurely half-lying on a bench reading a book.
Feng Junhou looked left and right to make sure there was no one there, then he walked over quietly and sat down next to her, "Is Si Niang not feeling well today?"
Zhang Xingyi glanced at Feng Yong and saw that he was disheveled and looked like he had just woken up, so he moved his body in disgust.
“You’re not feeling well!”
Feng Junhou continued to follow him shamelessly, "I heard from the people below that Siniang did not handle the affairs of the Secretariat, so I am worried..."
Zhang Xingyi sneered, "I'm not working in the Huqiang Colonel's Mansion. I just came here to help my sister, but I didn't receive a single copper coin monthly salary!"
Hey, you are saying this as if you are short of that little salary?
Who doesn’t know that the Zhang family’s young lady is a rich woman now?
Have you forgotten how you became a rich woman?
That was the breakup fee I gave you back then...well, this doesn't count, cross it out!
Zhang Xingyi naturally didn’t know what Feng Junhou was saying in her heart, so she only heard her continue:
“Now that the Colonel Protecting Qiang has returned to his residence, the affairs of the residence will naturally be handled by the Colonel Protecting Qiang.”
“Otherwise, if you let a person with no position, no name and no status handle the affairs of the government, wouldn’t it be like letting people gossip?”
Um?
Siniang seems to have something in her words?
Feng Junhou said with an upright face: "What Siniang said is wrong!"
Zhang Xingyi raised his eyebrows, turned over and sat up, and glared at Feng Yong.
You are so heartless, I have worked hard to help you look at your home for nearly a year, how dare you say such a thing?
I only heard Feng Junhou say righteously:
“Six Niang’s hard work these past few months, I am not blind, how can I not see it?”
“So in my heart, the person most qualified to hold the position of secretary of the Secretariat of the Guarding Qiang School Lieutenant’s Mansion is Siniang.”
Now that everything in Pingxiang is going smoothly, Zhang Xingyi is indispensable.
Although Feng Yong was coaxing Zhang Xingyi, he was also telling the truth.
“I originally wanted to settle this matter long ago, but I was afraid of tiring Si Niang, so I wanted to talk to Si Niang in person when I came back.”
“If Siniang is willing, I will immediately issue a document to give Siniang the official title to manage the secretariat.”
"If Si Niang is not willing, then I will keep this position for you until you change your mind."
After hearing Feng Yong’s words, Zhang Xingyi’s eyes flashed with joy, but he still kept a straight face: “Is this true?”
"Of course it's true. If Si Niang doesn't believe it, I'll give the order now."
Feng Junhou said swornly.
Zhang Xingyi rolled his eyes twice, "Don't you want to ask my sister first?"
"I am the school guarding Qiang..." Feng Yong bit his tongue and stopped talking, "Is Sanniang an ignorant person? Don't worry."
Zhang Xingyi made a sound and glanced at Feng Yong with disdain.
Feng Junhou got closer and could already smell the faint fragrance of Zhang Xingyi's body.
"Didn't I say before that Siniang is the best among women? If I am unsure about something, don't I have to ask Siniang?"
This flattery was done quite well. Zhang Xingyi’s stern face could hardly stand it any longer, with a hint of pride overflowing.
Hmph, you do have a good sense!
When Feng Yong saw Zhang Xingyi's expression, how could he not know that he had persuaded her?
At this moment, he leaned closer and said, "Good Fourth Mother, just accept my request this time."
“Go away!” Zhang Xingyi pushed him, “You haven’t even washed your face, it’s so dirty!”
“How can I have any face in front of you? I don’t have any face anymore, so why bother washing it?”
Feng Yong's hands quietly wrapped around her slender waist.
“Oh, that’s so disgusting!”
Zhang Xingyi’s face was filled with disgust.
Feng Junhou turned into a rogue and would not let him go.
“Okay, okay, I promise you, I’m really annoying!”
Zhang Xingyi reluctantly agreed with a look of reluctance.
“I know that Si Niang is soft-hearted.”
Just when Feng Junhou was about to take advantage of him, Zhang Siniang kicked him away.
Feng Yong wanted to climb over again.
“Don’t touch me anymore!”
“No, Si Niang, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
It doesn’t matter if you don’t wash your face once or twice in front of your own woman.
“What do Siniang think of Sun Quan moving the capital to Jianye?”
Feng Yong said as he leaned over for the seventh and eighth time.
When the iron is being struck, it must be done while it is hot.
When you have an inch, you have to make an inch.
Since Si Niang has promised him, it is natural that Feng cannot leave just as he says, so he has to use words to get closer.
Otherwise, if a girl asks you to leave, just leave. It would be easy to walk, but it would be difficult to get so close again if you turn around.
Zhang Xingyi pushed him a few times, but instead of pushing him away, he squeezed him in. In the end, the two of them had to be close together.
“Shameless!”
Zhang Xingyi gritted his teeth and cursed.
Feng Yong smiled and pretended not to hear. He even made an excuse, "Stay closer so you can hear clearly."
“Bah!”
Zhang Xingyi spat at him.
It was just that she was too upright and couldn't get away, so she had to adjust her body and lean into his arms.
The two of them were cozy for a while, and then Zhang Xingyi said:
“Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye. I guess he wanted to focus on the east and attack the Jianghuai area.”
Feng Yong was startled and blurted out, "Hefei War God Sun Shiwan?"
"What?"
Zhang Xingyi didn’t hear it clearly, or rather he didn’t understand it.
Feng Yong coughed, "Nothing, I mean, does he want to play in Hefei again?"
"Hefei is located between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. If the Wei State gets it, it can go down the river at any time. If the Wu State gets it, it can garrison heavy troops to guard the country's gate."
“Moreover, Shishui comes from the north, passes through Hefei and enters Chaohu Lake, and then flows into the river from Ruxu Water. To the north of Shishui, there is Feishui River that leads to Huaihe River.”
“Wu’s naval force is a strong point. If Hefei is used as a hub, and a little more manpower is used to dredge the Shishui and Feishui rivers, we can use boats to directly enter the Huai River from the river.”
"If Wu cannot capture Hefei, it will have to station a heavy army at Ruxushuikou. Therefore, Sun Quan will focus on the east and attack Hefei."
Hearing Zhang Xingyi's words, Feng Yong was a little surprised. He just made an excuse at random. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi seemed to have really thought about this problem.
"Sun Quan's desire to go to Hefei is known to everyone on the road. Even we know it. How can the Wei State not know about it? I'm afraid he may not be able to achieve his wish."
Feng Yong said.
Zhang Xingyi sneered, "How could Sun Quan not even know this?"
“Therefore, he moved the capital to establish a business, firstly for the convenience of traveling north, and naturally for the second reason.”
"what reason?"
Feng Yong thought for a long time, but could not think of the second reason for Sun Quan to move the capital to Jianye.
“There are many rumors in the world that Jianye has an imperial air.”
Zhang Xingyi said something leisurely.
Feng Yong suddenly realized.
The last name of Jianye was Moling, which was established by the First Emperor of China, and the name was inherited by the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Laoyao once went to Dongwu as an envoy and praised: "Zhongshan has dragons on its plate and stones and tigers perched on it. This is the residence of the emperor."
Liu Bei later visited Sun Quan and persuaded Sun Quan to make his capital here.
Zhang Hong, a famous minister of Wu, even made it clear that this place had the spirit of the emperor, and urged Sun Quan to rule Moling, the capital.
So eighteen years ago Moling was renamed Jianye by Sun Quan, with the meaning of establishing meritorious service, and what he was thinking in his heart is clear.
During this period, he also ruled in Jianye several times. However, because the situation in Soochow was not stable, he had to move back to Wuchang to control the west.
Now as soon as he proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately formally established the capital and established a business. Finally, his wish was fulfilled.
The ancients believed in this, but Feng Yong stayed away from it.
However, when he mentioned Jianye's imperial aura, he was reminded of some folklore from later generations.
He just laughed and said, "I heard that the First Emperor went to Jinling during his last eastward tour, and heard the alchemists who followed him mention that Jinling has the spirit of the emperor."
“So the First Emperor had people dig mountains and rivers to vent the anger of the King of Jinling, and he also used moss instead of gold as a sign of debasement.”
Gold will not grow into clothes after being buried for a long time, it will not become light after being refined a hundred times, it will not break after being used for leather, it is both tough and solid.
秧 means the end of food, food for livestock.
The two are not the same.
“Sun Quan established his capital here. Although it had a good start, he was afraid that the foundation would not last long.”
I thought it was a joke, but Zhang Xingyi was so excited that he stood up suddenly and almost touched Feng Yong's chin.
She stared at Feng Yong closely, "Where did you hear this rumor?"
Seeing Zhang Xingyi's serious expression, Feng Yong's heart skipped a beat.
“There are many miscellaneous books written in the teacher’s school, and I have read them when I was bored.”
Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened: "Such secrets cannot be recorded except by the emperor's knowledge. In Alang's sect, it is actually a miscellaneous book?"
“My master prefers to change one’s fate against the will of heaven, so we abandon this method.”
Feng Yong coughed and said pretending not to care.
Zhang Xingyi looked left and right, and saw that the man had a natural expression and did not seem to be lying.
Feng Yong thought she was going to ask about the study of emperors, but she suddenly asked:
"So the song "Changganxing" is because you really went to Jianye, right?"
After the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, Fan Li once built Yue City in Changganli, so Changganli is another name for Jianye.
Feng Yong’s face froze.
"Is what "Changganxing" writes about your relationship with your fellow apprentices?"
Zhang Xingyi asked with a hum.
Your brain circuit is wrong!
What about the aura of the emperor and the aura of the emperor?
Aren't we less important than our fellow seniors and sisters?
“Where do I have any senior sisters?”
Feng Yong refused.
Zhang Xingyi looked at him suspiciously, not sure whether he believed it or not.
Feng Yong just wanted to find a topic to say that establishing a capital and establishing an industry would not last long. Feng Yong said this casually, but it made Zhang Xingyi think of something.
She suddenly asked, "It is not appropriate to establish a capital as a capital. Did any of the books in Master Alang mention how a foundation does not last long?"
"this…"
Feng Yong originally wanted to say, "How can we know this?", but after thinking about the dynasties that made Jinling their capital, most of them liked their own people to fight their own people, and the Southern Dynasties were the most typical.
So he said something mean: "There is a dangerous river in the east of the Yangtze River. Foreign enemies want to cross the river, but it is difficult. Therefore, if it does not last long, it is most likely due to civil strife."
Zhang Xingyi’s eyes were intense and he whispered, “Alang, do you think there is any concern about civil strife in Soochow now?”
“Isn’t it true? There are many talented people in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and the generals are in mourning. And now that Sun Quan has proclaimed himself the emperor, he rewards all the ministers greatly. Everyone is successful, and the emperor and his ministers are united. How can there be internal worries?"
Feng Yong thought for a moment. He remembered that in his later years, Sun Quan forced Lu Xun to death because of the issue of heirs, and personally laid the foundation for the civil strife in Soochow.
But I don’t remember the specific time clearly. After all, Sun Shiwan was too stubborn, and in the late Three Kingdoms period, most of them were Wei and Han.
Sun Quan has just proclaimed himself emperor, so he shouldn't have become weak so quickly, right?
Zhang Xingyi disagreed with Feng Yong's statement. She continued to whisper, "Alang, the crown prince is also a king!"
Feng Yong was startled, "What do you mean?"
“Now Sun Quan has moved the capital to Jianye, and ordered Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu State, to stay in Wuchang. He is assisted by Lu Xun, the great general of Wu State, and controls the two counties of Jingzhou and Yuzhang.”
Zhang Xingyi's voice became more and more faint, "What's the difference between this and dividing the country into two? I heard that Sun Quan once carved his own jade seal and placed it in Lu Xun's place."
Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi looked at each other.
The two of them each saw a certain twinkle in the other's eyes.
“The ink on the alliance letter between Han Dynasty and Soochow has not yet dried..."
Zhang Xingyi said something again, seeming to remind Feng Yong and himself.
Feng Yong sneered, "Where are the permanent allies between countries? Some are just permanent interests."
“Think back on it, didn’t Sun Quan betray his alliance and attack Jingzhou in the same way?”
