Chapter 815
"You mean, Duke Xun Ling wants to rebel?"

In the Hall of Houde, Liu Xi stared wide-eyed, looking at Guo Jia in front of him, his mind was blank for a while, Guo Jia just came in, and his first words were Liu Xi who was going to work. He was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair. Liu Xi thought about it carefully, no, why would Duke Xun Ling want to rebel? Judging from his personality, he is not a person who would rebel.

I believe you, Guo Jia, conspired against me, Xun Yu?This is impossible!
Liu Xi looked at Guo Jia in front of him suspiciously, and asked again: "Mr. Guo Ling, you can't talk nonsense. Are you sure it is Lord Xun Ling who wants to rebel?? Xun Yu Xun Shangshu??"

Guo Jia nodded seriously, and said, "That's true, it was Xun Linggong who wanted to rebel."

Liu Xi was stunned for a long time before he asked, "Mr. Guo Ling? You've been taken care of lately?"

Guo Jia said angrily, "Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't believe me?"

"Hey, of course not. However, Mr. Xun is the Minister of the country. Mr. Guo can't just open his mouth to talk about rebellion. If something really happens, Mr. Guo, you want it." Liu Xi didn't continue, thinking After a while, Fang Cai asked, "Why does Mr. Guo think that Mr. Xun Ling wants to rebel?"

"It's like this. A few days ago, Xun Yu met Wei Yan, the captain of the Southern Army in private. When I went to visit him, Wei Yan was in his study, talking happily. When they saw me coming in, they fell silent for a moment. Now, Xun Yu was a little uneasy and asked Wei Yan to leave. I had some doubts in my heart at that time, and in recent days, I went to check Xun Yu's whereabouts again."

"He first investigated the situation of the resignation of county government offices all over the world, and recorded them one by one. Finally, he went to the Military Academy, talked with some students, and attracted many people. He also wrote privately to some local officials, and did not report. Shi Zhongtai hehe, he even went to find Zhao Yun, the new servant of the military mansion. When I went to find Zhao Pushe, Zhao Pushe told me that Xun Yu asked him whether the reserves in the treasury could afford 20 people. armed"

"Your Majesty, with 20 armed forces, the Northern and Southern Army only has 6 troops. What do you think he wants to do?" Guo Jia said angrily.

When Liu Xi heard this, he also frowned. Hearing this, he was indeed curious, what exactly did Duke Xun want to do?

However, Liu Xi still didn't believe that he was rebelling against him.

"Guo Linggong, let's go, you go to Shangshu Mansion and invite Xun Linggong here. I will ask him face to face."

Guo Jia smiled and agreed, and immediately left the palace and walked to the gate of the palace. He directly called two senior guards and accompanied him to Shangshutai. When Guo Jia arrived at Shangshutai, Xun Yu was In the study room, flipping through a lot of books and recording something, Guo Jia kicked open the door, looked at the astonished Xun Yu, and shouted: "Xun Yu, something happened to you, come with me !"

Liu Xi was sitting in the Hall of Houde, thinking about Xun Yu's strange behavior, he would definitely not rebel, he was probably the number one loyal minister in the temple, if even he could rebel, then he would be the emperor too Incompetent, but why did he suddenly start to pay attention to ordnance and the like? Xun Yu has always opposed the foreign wars of the big Han and is not warlike.

Most of the courtiers in the temple, except for the Gongyang faction, are not warlike.

Liu Xi was thinking about it when he saw two soldiers escorting Xun Yu into the Hall of Houde. Of course, the guards did not dare to be rude in the face of the three orders of the court, but they stood fiercely at Xun Yu Behind him, he stared at Xun Yu as if he was about to run away, and brought him into the back of Houde Hall. Two guards stood at the door. Liu Xi was furious and cursed: "Bastard! Who told you to treat Shang Shuling?" So rude?!"

Su Wei was taken aback, turned his head, and looked at Guo Jia who was following them.

At this moment, Guo Jia is so happy in his heart that he told you to do things in a sneaky way and keep it from me. Even Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Liu Ba, and Cao Chong can go to discuss with you, but you are the only ones who don’t come to me!
"Mr. Xun Ling, it's my fault. Don't blame me if I didn't make it clear." Liu Xi hurriedly walked up to Xun Yu, and said with some guilt. Xun Yu knew very well in his heart who caused these things. Yes, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay, this is all caused by a villain, and I understand it in my heart."

With that said, the two sat down.

When Guo Jia heard this, he scolded angrily: "You traitor, you have evil intentions, and you still want to slander others? I think you want to do evil things because you are not as good as Nongsang and jealous! Say, what do you want?" Wei Yan and the others want to organize another 20 troops, what's going on?!"

Xun Yu acted as if he hadn't heard this guy's words, ignored him completely, looked at Liu Xi, and said seriously, "Has your Majesty ever read the theory of potential husbands?"

"Huh?" Liu Xi was taken aback, glanced at Guo Jia, then nodded and said, "Of course I have read it."

Xun Yu nodded and said: "I can't put it down. The prince once made suggestions on the local pawn system and expressed his dissatisfaction. According to his words, the so-called pawns do not know etiquette. They are illiterate, and they are all reckless people who are low in status and easily manipulated by powerful families, so they are useless, and when there are cases in the local area, they are powerless and can only rely on the county magistrate."

"Their current role is to check the people who come and go, just like dogs. If they are replaced by dogs, they will be better than what they are doing now."

Xun Yu paused, and continued: "Although the prince's words are a bit extreme, but if you think about it seriously, it is true. Most of the soldiers in the local area are recruited from the common people. After serving for a period of time, they have to be replaced. Not to mention their talents, but their status is also very low. I once saw the younger generation of the Xun family insult Gengzu in the street, and Gengzu could only laugh and apologize."

"I went to check some more information. There are not many of them, but they are responsible for interrogation, arresting thieves, putting out fires and saving lives. These people are responsible for everything that is extremely important to the people. In the past month, Luoyang has appeared There were eighty theft cases, of which only four were solved, and Luo Yang ordered Liu Yi to lead people to complete the four cases in person, and he had to be responsible for a lot of things, so he couldn't spare himself to concentrate on them."

Liu Xi listened, nodded his head, and said: "Xun Gong is right. The officials in high positions are not very clear about these things. If Xun Gong didn't say it, I wouldn't know that there are still such things in the local area. So what does Duke Xun want to do?"

"I want to reform the local Gengzu. First of all, I have to list the Gengzu organization separately, as the Gengju Mansion under the Minister's Office, with a capable person in charge. This is to allow someone to be fully responsible. These things take the pawns out of local control and take back the temples, and in addition, it is the change of the locality.”

"Promote the pawns to be officials and give them official titles. Those who are illiterate can no longer take them. Nowadays, there are several colleges and universities standing side by side, and there are institutions such as military science. Speaking of it, the assessment is getting more and more cruel every year. Even if many people pass After the assessment, there is no place for them to go, so if the more officials are made into officials, these people can go to various places to take up important positions. These people are quick-witted and quite talented, and it is definitely feasible to handle civil affairs."

"Youjiao in the village, the county captain in the county, the county captain in the county, the status of these people can be improved, let them be on the same level as the local county magistrate, prefect, etc., and be responsible for local public security and other matters. , the magistrates can mobilize them, and these magistrates can also supervise the magistrates, thus forming a check and balance, and there are many benefits."

Xun Yu talked about his thoughts these days one by one.

"Your Majesty, I haven't thought about these things yet, so I didn't play and serve on the stage. If I didn't want to, I became a traitor."

Liu Xi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Grand Xun is a great talent, if these things are done just now, it will not only solve the problem of the examinees, but also greatly strengthen the local security, and also strengthen the temple's respect for the local people." Good, good, Mr. Xun is truly worthy of being my Marquis, with Mr. Xun, I can accomplish far more than my father and grandfather just by sitting in this hall of virtue!!"

Liu Xi held Xun Yu's hand affectionately, feeling extremely excited.

Suddenly, Guo Jia snorted coldly, and said: "You still don't think well enough, even if you change the system, if the pawns do so many things, if I do it, I will divide the pawns and speak well." Those who are good at solving disputes among common people, those who are good at martial arts arrest thieves, those who are brave put out fires and save people, and those who are smart are in charge of household registration checks, hehe, it’s a pity that you never came to me.”

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu was startled, stood up quickly, looked at Guo Jia behind him, widened his eyes, and asked, "Can you explain in more detail?"

Guo Jia snorted coldly, but turned his head away without saying a word, and ignored Xun Yu. Xun Yu felt helpless, looked at the emperor in front of him, blinked his eyes, Liu Xi suddenly understood, laughed quickly, and said: "Okay, Mr. Guo's division made this system more perfect. It is worthy of being my. Xianhou!! What virtue and ability do I have, and I have the current Marquis and Xianhou!"

Sure enough, after hearing the emperor's words, Guo Jia's complexion improved, and he glanced at Xun Yu triumphantly, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that the problem of relegation is not only in ability, but also in the division of labor. In fact, they need to do too much, unless they are all like me, even Xun Yu, after all, Gengzu usually patrols the farmland in the countryside, right?"

"Unless His Majesty can replace all of them with four-subject champions, if not, His Majesty can only let them make a more detailed division." Guo Jia said his thoughts, and did not forget to hate Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Liu Xi listened carefully, nodding their heads from time to time. Speaking of which, Xun Yu also had the same thoughts as Guo Jia, but they didn't think so carefully.

The three monarchs and ministers discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a slightly rough plan. The emperor and Xun Yu were very happy, and while chatting, Qi Yue suddenly walked in and said with a smile: "The country, Your Highness is back. !"

"Tiger is back??"

The emperor said a little excitedly, and wanted to get up, but he looked at the two people in front of him, but he still didn't move.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia hurriedly bid farewell and left Houde Hall.

Xun Yu asked a little puzzled: "Is the eldest son of the emperor not in the palace these days? Why is Your Majesty so excited?"

"Whether it's at Taixue, or at the Guozhang's place, I don't know why the Guozhang has gone crazy and sent His Highness back. It's not easy for father and son to meet each other."
