    After this incident occurred, it almost alarmed many officials, big and small, in the capital. When someone shamelessly came to Rong'an Hou's Mansion to ask for an audience with Rong'an Hou, Meng Guangchao pretended to be sick and disappeared.  He claimed that he was sick in bed due to overwork, but in reality he was sitting at home gloating over his misfortune.  Meng Yunxian also learned the outline of the whole thing from him.

    Some time ago, the Fifth Prince Zhou Mingjun and the Marquis of Rong'an Meng Guangchao were ordered to receive envoys from friendly countries.  Now Dayu's country is rich and powerful, and although the other party is a friendly country, it has long been willing to surrender.  When envoys come to the DPRK, they only present their country's treasures and then discuss the next big plan for the two countries to exchange their needs and prosper together.  According to the rules of previous years, Dayu, as the host, should arrange for the envoys to stay in the country post after business, and at the same time arrange some entertainment.  While showing the friendship of the landlord, he was also showing the envoys the appearance of a great country and the attitude of a country with etiquette.

    But I never expected that the problem lies in this.

    According to the rules, if there is a guest from a country, the country post arranged must set up restrictions. No other people are allowed to come and go within the travel range of the distinguished guest, so as to ensure that the guest and the host can enjoy themselves unscathed on the territory of Yu State.  Under the guidance of Marquis Rong'an, although His Royal Highnesses were very unfamiliar with these things, fortunately, they got started very quickly. With reference to the corresponding grade arrangements for entertaining distinguished guests and the characteristics of the Fuyuan itself, they planned a very careful arrangement. Your Majesty  Xian Shi also agreed very much.

    Unexpectedly, when I was entertaining the distinguished guests as arranged, I discovered that the place originally arranged was already occupied by someone, and the person occupying it was the family member of a sixth-grade official.

    In fact, within Dayu, as long as it is a post station established by the state, officials and their family members can stay in Beijing with documents. However, there are conditions, which is to enjoy different levels of treatment according to their respective grades. In other words, they can enjoy it, but  Can't exceed the limit.  In this country post, it is a question whether a sixth-grade official is qualified for the place designated to entertain envoys, let alone if it is occupied by family members?

    "The place is occupied by others. Even if you are your father, I am shocked. In any case, this is the place where envoys are entertained. There are notices both inside and outside the Fuyuan. Officials in the capital know about this. I really don't know who is doing this."  You have the guts to let your own family occupy it. You haven't seen it. The official's family is unreasonable and unreasonable, and they are a whole village of rogues. Later it was found out that they had just arrived in Beijing not long ago and defected to their official who had just taken power. But  Before the new official residence was settled, a few scoundrels did not want to live in a shabby house. The junior official who had just taken power probably wanted to save face, so he took people to Fuyuan. He probably did not expect that his family members who wanted to go to heaven would actually occupy the residence.  He refuses to leave other people's envoys."

    Meng Guangchao told his wife and children the incident as a joke while peeling oranges.

    He has always been like this. Everything in the officialdom, whether overt or covert, is told as a bedside story, leaving out many dark aspects, purely to let them understand the world outside.  The difference is that there is one more Meng Yunxian this year.

    Meng Yunxian was the most nervous and doubtful of the three children: "Sixth-grade officials Unless they have special imperial orders, they are not qualified. How did the family members get in? Why not just send people to bomb them?"  go out?"

    Mrs. Tian glanced at her.

    Meng Yunxian was afraid of being caught, so she shrank her head: "I, I'm just curious"

    Tian Shi smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, I want to praise you. If you are so involved in political affairs today, will you have to go to court with your father tomorrow?"

    Meng Guangchao took a sip of wine and said, "Silly girl, how could there be any trouble at that time? Do you know how many pairs of eyes were staring at my father and His Highness the Fifth Prince when they accepted this imperial order? Are the family members of the officials really ignorant, or are they arranged by someone?  , who can be sure at that time? There was a slight leak and it reached the envoys and the Holy One. Do you know how much trouble I and His Majesty the Fifth Prince will be in? The Holy One always has a good face. You forgot to show off at the Yuanxiao Palace Banquet.  Is that something you like? This is the same truth. As for the qualifications for this family to move in, don¡¯t be in a hurry, let your father tell you slowly."

    "You all have to understand that the emperor's destiny has two edges. If you do well, you will be honored. If you do poorly, you will be in hell. Sometimes you just look at the results and not the process. This receptionist is the face of a country, even if you  If you stumble in front of an envoy, it's because someone kicked you on purpose. In front of your superiors today, they will only think that you made a mistake and lost the face of the country."

    "At that time, as soon as the official family matter came out, my father felt that it was not easy. No matter who made the mistake, when it was reported to the emperor, it was because of the poor arrangements for my father and His Highness the Fifth Prince. I am just thinking about this.  We are looking for a way. Unexpectedly, His Highness the Fifth Prince actually came up with a second plan!" At this point, Meng Guangchao was a little angry.

    Zhou Mingjun did come up with a new arrangement quickly, or it was a double arrangement that he had prepared a long time ago. He did not discuss it with Meng Guang at all.Breathing a sigh of relief, he was as calm and calm as if nothing had happened. He took the envoy who was unaware of the clues and diverted the road directly to the second arrangement.

    Fortunately, the second arrangement went very smoothly, but when Meng Guangchao compared it carefully, he suddenly discovered that this arrangement cost twice as much as the first arrangement!

    Even if it is the Guoyi, all the entertainment and entertainment arranged by it will cost money. At most, because it is a post station set up by the state, the cost will be slightly lower. However, because of the accident at the Guoyi, Zhou Mingjun chose another one on the spot.  If he chooses, it means that the cost of entertaining distinguished guests will soar to a visible extent.

    He did this matter without changing his expression. He waited until he happily sent off the envoys and successfully completed the emperor's orders for the reception.  Sent to Emperor Chongxuan.

    Zhou Mingjun did this very well.  It was also Guoyi that had a problem. If it caused a big problem at that time, all the responsibilities would be on Zhou Mingjun and Meng Guangchao. However, Zhou Mingjun chose to press down and perfectly handled the reception task with the second set of arrangements prepared in advance.  , as long as the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves and Dayu's great-nation demeanor is still floating in the wind, he has fulfilled all his responsibilities for the reception.  At this time, he comes back to settle accounts after the fall, and makes trouble bit by bit. Whoever was at fault before will have to bear the responsibility. And the more absurd the mistake is, the higher Zhou Mingjun's contribution will be.

    As expected, when he saw that the exponentially increasing expenses were being drained from the treasury, and that the country's post station was treated as his own territory by the arrogant family members of a small official, the emperor was furious and immediately launched a thorough investigation.  Like Meng Guangchao, Zhou Mingjun quietly withdrew from the dispute on the grounds of being overworked and ill at this time, recuperating in the palace and watching the turmoil outside.

    The more the investigation went deeper, the more it involved a fatal link in Dayu, which is also the reason why this kind of trouble occurred.

    "It is precisely because the country is stable and prosperous that the Holy Father has opened up teachings, the heart of advocating literature has become stronger, and the number of civil servants has increased day by day. There are countless people who have been awarded with kindness and have become official officials. In order to accommodate these officials, there are enough positions to be appointed.  There are even cases where one official office is split into multiple and a new official structure is rebuilt, which creates more official positions. The separation of Sinong Temple from the household department is an example." Meng Guangchao sighed:  "It would be fine if all the people we recruit are virtuous people, but unfortunately, they are all greedy silverfish."

    Meng Yunxian frowned: "Is the matter at Guoyi related to this matter?"

    Mrs. Tian looked at her again.

    This girl didn¡¯t even have any pretense this time. With her nervous look, Mrs. Tian was worried that she might have gotten involved again.  But seeing her talking to the Marquis, Tian had mixed emotions in her heart.  She doesn't look like Zheng at all. If she were really a man, A Yuan wouldn't be able to catch up with her bare feet.

    This matter is indeed related.

    Precisely because the number of official positions has increased and the number of officials has increased, confusion in terms of authority has also resulted.  To put it simply, a petty official may have some useful real power due to the chaotic division of functions above, while some higher-ranking officials are only responsible for trivial matters.  That junior official had just entered the capital through the recruitment process not long ago. He was just a military official, but he had gained a position at the palace gate. He took advantage of the concubines, eunuchs, and maids in the palace, and he could also receive a lot of news and win over  He has a lot of connections. Not only that, he also got false posts in the Ministry of Justice and the Beijing Health Bureau. He was placed in the previous dynasty, and he only received a salary no matter how many positions he held. Now he is considerate of his subordinates and can be divided according to the position they hold.  He receives a salary, so he alone can receive several salaries.

    But since he holds an empty position, he will not work.

    Meng Yunxian suddenly understood something: "So it's like Sinong Temple was separated from the Ministry of Household Affairs and formed its own department. The Ministry of Household Affairs clearly assigned manpower to Sinong Temple, but it was not enough for the minister of Sinong Temple to work hard in person. Even his sisters  They all work together! They are honest because they don¡¯t know who has a low-level position but holds real power. If they are not careful, they can stumble them, so they don¡¯t dare to offend them easily! There are false responsibilities among my own people, and those in the household department  There may be more such moths in one head! It is true that the world is at peace now, but if things go on like this, won¡¯t the country be ruined? Then it will be precarious and wars will happen one after another!¡±

    Her angry look stunned both Meng Guangchao and Tian Shi.

    Meng Yunxian said anxiously: "What then? How is it now?"

    Meng Guangchao stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled with interest: "Yunxian, how do you know there is a sequel?"

    Meng Yunxian suddenly came back to her senses.

    It¡¯s over, did she just behave too obviously?

    "I, I don't have it"

    Mrs. Tian could see it: "Are you really involved again? What did you do?"

    A Yin and A Yuan both looked at her, as if looking up to gods.

    Meng Yunxian: "I really didn't" She wanted to know the result even more: "Father, please stop being so secretive and just tell me!"

    Meng Guangchao held the wine glass: "There is really an interesting sequel to this matter¡ª¡ª"

    He stared at Meng Yunxian with sharp eyes: "Yunxian, did you instigate her to write that article about Xu's daughter?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Mixed in?  What did you do?  "

    A Yin and A Yuan both looked at her, as if looking up to gods.

    Meng Yunxian: "I really didn't" She wanted to know the result even more: "Father, please stop being so secretive and just tell me!"

    Meng Guangchao held the wine glass: "There is really an interesting sequel to this matter¡ª¡ª"

    He stared at Meng Yunxian with sharp eyes: "Yunxian, did you instigate her to write that article about Xu's daughter?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
