Chapter 564 Three Separation
Prince Liu Mastiff recruited the officials of the East Palace, naturally it was also for the innovation of the Shangshutai. Wang Fu has led the entire Shangshutai to a crooked level. Now, it has reached the point where it has to be changed. The crown prince does not think that the future Shangshuling , can be He Zi, Wang Fu, Xing Yong, such capable ministers, or officials like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc. If there is a fool or an immoral thief in the future, something will happen.

Of course, after the arrival of the officials, the prince did not say so.

"My lords," looking at the people below, the prince said slowly: "These days, by order of the emperor, I personally went to Shangshutai. You don't know, Shangshutai has only a hundred officials, but it is extraordinarily busy. When resting, Zong Xinggong can only run back and forth, disregarding himself, and Guo Jun, Xun Jun, etc., who are sick from exhaustion, still have to do state affairs and king affairs!"

"I really can't bear it!!" Liu Mastiff said, wiping the tears from his eyes, and he said again: "Seeing everyone working so hard for the big man, my heart aches unbearably, so I called the gentlemen here today, I want you gentlemen to help you discuss how to reform Shangshutai. After you have discussed it, I will personally go to the emperor to ask for reform!" Liu Mastiff stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, "I hope you can do it again." Teach me!!"

"I don't dare to wait!" Everyone stood up and paid respects one after another.

Zhuge Liang was about to speak, but he saw Yuan Shang standing up suddenly, looking at Liu Mastiff, and said: "Your Highness, this matter is easy, expand the Shangshutai, and match with thousands of officials, they don't have to work so hard!!", Everyone was silent, like Pang Tong who didn't hide it at all, and directly put all the disdain in his heart on his face, Liu Mastiff coughed, I want to reduce the authority of Shangshutai, you want me to add a few thousand to him? officials? ? ?Do you want Sangong to go to Shangshutai to listen to the order? ? ?

Of course, Liu Mastiff couldn't say these words in this way. He said: "Such a large number of officials will consume a lot of money from the national treasury, which is difficult to support."

"It's nothing, the big deal is that my family pays this money. As long as His Highness is happy, I will take the lead in donating [-] million yuan!!" Yuan Shang said, patting his chest. This is what really aroused everyone's anger. Isn't it just that there is some money in the family? , we are all great sages with the talents of the heaven and the latitude and the earth, nothing more than copper-smelling things. Sigh.
With a smile on his face, Liu Mastiff still rejected Yuan Shang's request. He said, "How can you use private money for this official business?? Also, Xianfu, you should be careful with your words if you can't disclose the money in this family."

Zhuge Liang said: "His Royal Highness, now the Shangshutai is responsible for drafting government orders, issuing edicts, reviewing and reviewing. It was not like this before. After the prince took the post of Shangshutai, he took over from Situ, Sikong, and other ministries. A lot of power was used to establish a new government for Ning, but since the princes, the Shangshutai has become increasingly bloated, and the successors, although they are also important ministers, do not have the talents of the princes, so the Shangshutai has the current situation."

"The minister's opinion is to separate these three places. Not only will Shangshutai suffer." Zhuge Liang said, Liu Mastiff nodded. It seems that Zhuge Liang still saw clearly. He understood what Liu Mastiff was worried about, so he separated the general Liu Mastiff agrees with the idea of ​​dividing the three powers, but how to divide them specifically.

"The minister thought that we should set up a new pavilion to share the responsibility for drafting government orders." Zhuge Liang just started to speak, but Sima Yi on the side smiled and shook his head. Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Does Zhongda have a different strategy?"

"Duke Zhuge is a relative of the state, and also a young Fu, how dare I have a different plan?" Sima Yi said with a smile.

These two people don't deal with each other, or they never deal with each other. They have been like this since they followed the prince in Yuan's mansion. Both of them are very smart. The difference is that Zhuge Liang likes to do everything by himself. He has to intervene in all matters, and he has to personally manage them. As a young master, he certainly has the qualifications, and he himself has such strength, but the officials of the East Palace don't like his style of work very much.

Especially Pang Tong, he thought that Zhuge Liang looked down on all officials except himself, so he was unhappy. Only he could look down on all officials other than himself, and you, Zhuge Liang, cannot do this.

He doesn't like to give other people a chance to speak, but on the other hand, he never hates others. He doesn't have the arrogance of Pang Tong and Fazheng, who will look down on others, and he doesn't always want to show off like Sima Yi. With his own talent, he only spoke to make the court affairs better and smoother. He is such a complicated person, some people like it, and some people hate it.

Sima Yi is different from him, he is also a very intelligent person, but he always wants to show his talent, he also does not show his arrogance, but he wants everyone to know that I, Sima Zhongda, It is by no means an idle person!This is also the reason why he opposed Zhuge Liang in everything in the East Palace.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "If Zhongda has a general idea, words will do, it doesn't have to be like this."

Sima Yi looked at the prince and said, "In my opinion, there is no need to add a new department. There is a Zhongshu Ling in the court, which is used to issue edicts. However, the increasing power of the Shangshutai made the Zhongshu Ling gradually decline. His Highness intends to revive the Zhongshu Order, and use the Zhongshu Order as a way to issue edicts. In addition, the court servants and servants were originally used to follow the emperor to review government orders, but now they have also been reduced to Huangmen."

"In my opinion, it is enough to promote these two books, what does Duke Zhuge think?"

Sima Yi asked back.

"Zhongda's words are good, but." Zhuge Liang turned around and said again: "Issuing edicts and reviewing government orders are both cumbersome and extremely important. Do you think that two officials with a mere thousand stones can be in charge?" What's more, how many officials are under Zhongshuling's command, and how many servants are there, are these people enough? Zhongda just wants to add more? Wouldn't that be superfluous, and it would be more convenient to set up two new ones!!"

Sima Yi also refused to give in, and the two immediately started arguing, the words were very fierce, and the officials of the Eastern Palace were also divided into four factions, Cao Pi, Sun Quan, and Lu Yu all supported Zhuge Liang's side, while Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Yuan Shang, this is supporting Sima Yi. In addition, there are Zhou Yu and Lu Su, who belong to the neutral faction and are unwilling to participate in this dispute. Besides, the fourth faction, Man Chong, he alone For one, he belongs to the beheading faction and doesn't like nonsense.

Seeing the two factions quarreling endlessly, Liu Mastiff felt a little helpless. He hoped that his subordinates would be kind and not have such unnecessary arguments. However, my father once called him over and specially told him not to pay attention to it. These, if possible, try to find a way to make them fight more fiercely. They argue all day long, but you can relax a bit, but if they are as close as brothers, you should panic! !

Liu Mastiff couldn't figure it out, why should he do this? Doesn't he need everyone to unite as one and unite as one?Why do you want to deliberately make your subordinates quarrel?Is it because they are afraid that they will unite and it will be bad for you?But I trust them, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi, they are all friends with me for many years, no matter what, Liu Mastiff doesn't think they will do anything that is not good for him.

But this is my father's order, he can only obey, my father will never harm himself.

He thought so in his heart, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Don't quarrel, gentlemen." When he said this, everyone stopped, stopped arguing, and looked at the prince, waiting for the prince to come Thinking of a way, Liu Mastiff was also a little helpless. At this time, he couldn't be too partial to one person. He could only say: "I think the strategies of all the gentlemen are very good. I will play together to your majesty, depending on your majesty's wishes." stop"

When he spoke like this, everyone nodded and stopped arguing. After all, what they say doesn't count, and what the prince says doesn't count. Only what the emperor says counts.

After everyone left, Liu Mastiff stayed in the study and wrote down Zhuge Liang's and Sima Yi's suggestions and even the differences. He rushed to the Hall of Houde, neither the guards nor the eunuchs dared to stop him, but when he arrived at the Hall of Houde, Hanmen quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness!!"

"Wait a minute!!"

Liu Mastiff smiled, met Han Men, and said: "I have something important to see my father, and I hope Mrs. Han can help me." Han Men said helplessly: "Your Highness, the country has rested, come back tomorrow Stop!", Liu Mastiff frowned, and said with some displeasure: "At such a time, why would my father rest in Houde Hall, Mr. Han, please tell me!"

"No, Your Highness. Slave." Han Men was speechless in a hurry, but still said with a bitter face: "Please come back, Your Highness, come back tomorrow."

"Let that scorpion come in!!!" There was a roar from the Hall of Houde, Han Men shrank his neck, did not dare to stop him, and quickly moved out of the way, Liu Mastiff walked into the Hall of Houde, entered After entering Houde Hall, Liu Mastiff was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mum!! You are here too!!" The queen looked at Liu Mastiff, smiled helplessly, and said, "Yes, I will come with you Let's chat, father, since you are here, then you father and son are talking, I will go back first."

The Queen left the Hall of Houde. Liu Mastiff watched the Queen leave in a strange way, then looked at Father, and said with a smile: "Father, I have something important to do about Shangshutai." He was talking about Shangshutai The matter, talking about Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's proposal, finally gave the memorial to my father to see. During this period, the emperor kept a cold face and was extremely angry. Liu Mastiff was also a little puzzled. Could it be that my father Got into a fight with Mom?Why do you look so annoyed.

After reading the performance table submitted by Liu Mastiff, the emperor nodded and said coldly: "Yes, I understand."

"Then how to implement it?"

"This has nothing to do with you, get out!!!"

The emperor scolded violently, and Liu Mastiff hurriedly left the Hall of Houde, came to the door, looked at the Han family with their heads lowered and their faces restless, Liu Mastiff quickly said: "Mr. Han, I don't know that Father is angry. That's why you persuaded me just now. Thank you very much, I hope Mr. Han is not to blame for the rude behavior just now."

Han Men raised his head, with a bitter face, forced a smile, and said, "No problem, Your Highness, no problem."

Liu Mastiff hastily left the Hall of Houde. Father seemed to be in a bad mood. Would he take this decree seriously? ?If he ignores it, what should I do? Alas, I don't know why my father is so angry...
