The imperial guards in the imperial city all looked a little strange today. They were all guards who guarded the imperial city. Naturally, they were very familiar with the courtiers who came and went. This was especially true for the location of the imperial city, because there were a large number of yamen here, and courtiers did not need to come and go. too much.
But of course they knew that there were no female courtiers in the entire Tang Dynasty, which is not to say that there were no female officials. Female officials almost always appeared among the maids in the harem. Some of the maids in charge of the harem were also of high rank, but there were definitely no courtiers.
In fact, let alone the current Tang Dynasty, even in all dynasties from now on, there are definitely not many female ministers.
Strictly speaking, Shangguan Wan'er is not a courtier, let alone a powerful courtier, because the woman in front of her is wearing a genuine third-grade court dress!
Although these imperial guards did not know who Li Yan was, they dared to appear here openly and openly in court clothes. More importantly, they were in court clothes of the third grade. This could never be fake!
His Highness the King of Qin has come up with something new! This was the first reaction of all the guards.
There is no way, apart from His Majesty, the only one who can handle this matter in this palace is His Royal Highness King Qin, and the others... even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are barely interested.
Li Yan walked to Shangshu Province smoothly.
It was about an hour before it was time to get off work. Fang Xuanling didn't have much to do at the moment. He had just sat down to take a rest with the people around him when he saw Zuo Buque (one of the official positions in the Tang Dynasty) from Shangshu Province. There are also official positions such as Zuo Shiyi. The idioms such as Supplementing the vacancies, Supplementing the vacancies, and Supplementing the Supplements all come from this, and were gradually replaced by modern characters.) Jinjinhui reported: "I am reporting to the Duke of Liang, and the right minister of the Central Bank outside is asking for an audience."
Attached is a diagram of the Yamen system of the Tang Dynasty, totaling three provinces, six ministries and twenty-four divisions.
The expression of Bu Que who reported this was somewhat strange.
"Ah? Let's go out and greet him. This person should be the one who will often deal with us in the future." Fang Xuanling immediately stood up from his seat and walked directly outside.
Many officials here naturally stood up following Fang Xuanling. They all knew that the Central Bank currently had the same status as other departments, and the ministers were all full-ranking officials with real duties, and the most important thing was that this person was in charge of the money bag.
They have seen the recent reforms of Datang. It is estimated that there will be a lot of money needed in the future, and the people who manage money must be very powerful.
Fang Xuanling came out with the temporarily free officials of Shangshu Province, but as soon as he left the courtyard gate of Shangshu Province, he saw a pretty figure in red court uniform standing there.
Seeing this figure, everyone in Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded. I don't know if the others knew Fang Xuanling, but he must have known him. Isn't this the person who His Highness King Qin might become the future princess? The most important thing is that this princess... may be a queen in the future!
As an insider, Fang Xuanling is confused at this moment. Let’s not talk about the status of the other party, but now... what the hell is this court uniform.
"Wei Chen, the Right Minister of the Central Bank, has met Liang Guogong." Li Yan said calmly to Fang Xuanling, a courtesy common to the Tang Dynasty, not a courtesy reserved for women.
"Have you met Li Yan and Li Shangshu? Is it the official position assigned to you by His Highness the King of Qin?" Fang Xuanling's expression was so distorted that it made people feel distressed. His heart was not feeling well at the moment. How dare you, Your Highness the King of Qin? ! Although I have long heard that you even asked His Highness Changle to handle Lin Yi's affairs, it was far away from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty after all.
And it was still a temporary measure, but now... this is the center of the Tang Dynasty! You let a woman... It doesn't matter if she is a highly respected woman like Princess Pingyang. You appoint a seventeen-year-old woman to be a third-rank official.
Fang Xuanling didn't know how to maintain the expression on his face. If the other person hadn't been here, he would probably have completely distorted his expression at this moment.
"Yes, Duke Liang, His Highness appointed me as the right minister of the Central Bank, fully responsible for all matters of the Central Bank." Li Yan said with a serious face. When she appeared here, she represented not only herself, but His Highness! She also knew that His Highness was risking the world's disapproval by arranging her to be an official, but the more this happened, the more she could feel His Highness's importance.
That's why she needs to show her abilities even more and not embarrass His Highness.
"This... Okay, so Li Shangshu came here today to see the Central Bank's business premises?" Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
"yes!"
"Liu Bequ, please take Li Shangshu to the office space of Central Bank. I will come later." Fang Xuanling said immediately.
"yes!"
Li Yan saluted Fang Xuanling, then turned around and followed the man.
After Li Yan left, Fang Xuanling said quickly to an official next to him: "Go to Menxia Province to invite Duke Zheng over, and also invite Duke Zhao over, and we will tell you something important. After inviting them, bring them here directly Where the central bank has its offices.”
"yes!"
After this person left, Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief and followed him directly. It was me who was hasty. Although I said I would take full responsibility if something happened, this thing was beyond my ability. This kind of thing is still suitable for Zheng Guogong. Come.
Fang Xuanling followed from behind and soon arrived at the office space vacated for the Central Bank.
In fact, Li Yan and others had just come in. After seeing Fang Xuanling come in, Li Yan saluted Fang Xuanling and said: "In fact, if Liang Guogong has any opinions on the ministers, he can directly raise them. After all, the Central Bank is also affiliated with Minister, there is no need to call Duke Zheng and others to come over."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
He glanced at Li Yan with some surprise. She is such a sharp little lady, and with her speaking style and sensitivity, she was definitely someone that His Highness King Qin liked, or that His Highness King Qin personally trained.
"Li Shangshu was joking. I called Zheng Guogong and others here just for official business. After all, I can't make the decision on this matter myself." Fang Xuanling also said simply. Although he didn't directly say what it was, there was something behind his words. The meaning is naturally understood by everyone.
Li Yan nodded and didn't talk nonsense, but continued to check. The office space of each yamen in the palace was definitely enough. Don't worry, the entire yamen location combined is equivalent to the size of four cities! The office space is definitely sufficient, and the office area of the Central Bank Headquarters vacated by Shangshu Province is also sufficient.
But what Li Yan was thinking about at the moment was how to rearrange and rearrange these places so as to ensure the operating efficiency of the entire department.
Especially the work in the next period of time will definitely be the most.
