Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 887
After bidding farewell to Zhongshuling, the officials in the temple also began to discuss and think about the position of Zhongshuling. Of course, the official government cannot directly order this position, it must be selected by the emperor, and the official government will then promote it. Among the three orders, the position of Zhongshu Ling is really embarrassing. It is said that its status is not high enough, and he is among the three orders.

Responsible for convening the court meeting and ending the court meeting. During the process of the court meeting in the temple, only Zhongshuling and the emperor can make a ruling, and even reprimand the ministers, depriving the ministers of their power of speech. The court meeting is the discussion of the ministers The place where the country's major affairs are held has absolute power and can even formulate edicts. This position cannot be said to be low.

But to say that this position is very important, the Zhongshuling can only play a role in court discussions and drafting edicts. At other times, it is basically idle, without any real power, and there are not even many subordinate officials. Therefore, this The position must be for the emperor, and at the same time, the old man is suitable for a leisurely minister. If a minister who always thinks of going against the emperor, such as Yu Fan and Zhong Changtong, I am afraid that the court will change. It was extremely confusing.

But in today's temples, is it really possible to find ministers who love the emperor and are willing to provide for the elderly?
Everyone's eyes are on Duke Xun Ling. Maybe Duke Xun Ling is okay. He is old and extremely loyal to the emperor. In all fairness, he is the most suitable for this position. The quality of this group of ministers is still very good. Yes, the Son of Heaven in the Hall of Houde had exactly such an idea, but he originally wanted Xun You, who was far away in Japan, to come back to take up this position.

However, Xun You submitted a document, rejected the emperor's conquest, and even stated clearly: The minister should die.

According to Xun You's intentions, many of his civilizing policies in Wa Island have not been fully implemented, and he is still writing a book called "Book of Education". It is conceivable that he will not leave Wa Island easily Yes, perhaps, he is just thinking now, before his death, he can complete this great book and what he can do for the big man.

In fact, he has done a lot. When it comes to Wa Island today, there are as many as [-] students from Wa Island in the Taixue. People from the Central Plains speak fluent elegant dialects, and they look like ancient sages. A barbaric and remote island, Xun You turned it into a holy land of Confucianism.

Moreover, since the great Han began to educate the states, there will always be some turmoil and incidents of killing officials. Only Wa Island is now extremely peaceful. The difference with the people of Wa Island, Liu Xi is also helpless, for this old minister, he has no way to force him to return, if the old man is angry and dies halfway, then Liu Xi will bear a mouthful of the ages The cauldron?
In desperation, Liu Xi had no choice but to cast his gaze on the old Shangshu of the court. However, it is still necessary to ask Xun Yu's meaning first, so the old Shangshu put down the matter in hand and rushed to Houde Hall again However, this time, the old Shangshu seemed to be a little shaky, compared to the previous appearance of dying wood, I don't know how many times better.

Old Shangshu was already handsome, and when he cheered up these days, his whole body exuded a kind of fairy air. His long gray hair and beard and ruddy complexion made him look like an exiled immortal. Old Shangshu sat on the thick In the hall of virtue, stroking his long beard, "I understand what your majesty means. I am old, and there are many things in Shangshutai, so a young man should take care of them. Zhongshutai is a good place to retire."

"In this way, I'm afraid that I will miss Linggong's talent."

"This old man is still occupying the position of Shangshu at this age. That is the mistake of everyone's talents. Your Majesty, although I shouldn't speak like this, I hope that the position of Shangshuling can be handed over to Zhuge Liang. As for the servant order, it can be handed over to Sima Yi," Xun Yu said slowly, Liu Xi was shocked, but calmed down quickly, before asking: "Why?"

"Zhuge's talent is not inferior to a minister, but for a long time, he has not had a place to display his talent. Sometimes there is me, an old man like Guo Jia occupies the position, and these young people can't show their talents. This person can be of great use."

"What about Sima Yi? Why can't you let him be the minister?"

"Sima Zhicai is also extraordinary. In His Majesty's hands, he must be a better blade, even surpassing Zhuge. However, he is too cautious, and he is not as courageous as Zhuge. If you let him If he comes to serve as Minister of the Book, he will definitely be afraid of political disadvantages and his own body will be involved, so he will not carry out other things, not to mention, this person is very self-interested. His Majesty should put him by his side and take care of him personally."

"Everyone has a place that suits him best. Sima is by His Majesty's side, serving as the order of servants. With His Majesty as his support, he can arrange many things without being afraid. At that time, he will play a better role than Zhuge Liang. Better effect, just like the previous legal affairs, if His Majesty asks Sima Yi to handle it, I am afraid that the old man will not have a chance to talk to him, and he will be attacked by thieves halfway." Xun Yu did not avoid it at all, said with a smile.

"Xun Linggong's words are wrong, how dare he do such a thing?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, even though he didn't dare to kill the minister, he still dared to take the matter of detaining the minister and leading others to rescue the minister after the law was enforced. Of course, Zhuge Liang could think of these things, but he didn't care. If you want to do it, the so-called gentleman is the easiest to be bullied," Xun Yu said slowly, shaking his head.

Liu Xi nodded. In fact, the thoughts in his heart were the same as those of Xun Yu. Therefore, he was so shocked when Xun Yu proposed just now. Guessing it, it would bring him a kind of uneasiness, but looking at the old man in front of him, he still let go of his fear.

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Ling."

"Please!"

In August of the 16th year of Yankang, the second month after the death of Lu Gong, the official order of the temple was issued. Xun Linggong was appointed as the Zhongshuling, Zhuge Liang was the Shangshuling, and Sima Yi was the servant. No one objected to the appointment, and only Zhong Changtong complained a little bit. Zhong Changtong originally wanted to fight for the position of the three orders.

At this time, Sima Yi was still in the local area, and was investigating for the purpose of partitioning. When he learned of the emperor's appointment, Sima Yi just smiled bitterly for a moment. If he had served as a servant in the past, he would not have been too happy. But since he had a whole day of heart-to-heart chat with the emperor last time, he was very content with such appointment and dismissal.

Even if it is not as good as the Shangshuling, it is at least a Sanling of the same level. It can be regarded as a place where he can display his strengths. This is already a very good treatment. The inspection was not over yet. Just after the appointment, when he conducted the inspection again, things went much smoother, and everyone was smiling.

Wherever he went, no one dared to ignore him anymore. Officials came to see him one after another. Even, many people had written letters expressing their admiration for him. Sima Yi just looked at the letters calmly. , and then sent someone to Houde Hall for the emperor to take a look.

Yuan Yao was sitting in the study, looking at the harvests from all over the place, with a smile on his face. In this year, Jianning Changdao has achieved great success both in terms of mining and agriculture. This time, he It is really famous in the overseas government, not relying on his own background, nor relying on the Hu clan. Well... well, he also built the Hu clan here, but this is not the point.

The point is that he relied on his own ability to convince the officials of the Overseas Government and gained their respect.

Now Yuan Yao is very happy. The Jianning Changdao he governs has already surpassed the overseas islands. Whether it is the safety situation or the grain and mineral production, it is ranked first. If it continues like this, it will last until the end of this year. , next year, I can stand in front of my brother with a straight chest and let him implement this policy throughout the overseas. In this way, I am afraid that the overseas government will create more wealth for the big man!
Yuan Yao was thinking about these things, when suddenly, Ling Tong hurried in, holding the residence newspaper, and said with a smile: "Young governor, the latest residence report is here, and the three orders have changed!", Yuan Yao hurriedly Standing up, he took the mansion report from him. The matter of Lu Gong's death had already been published in the mansion report. Those overseas people also learned the news, and everyone in the overseas mansion also saw him off.

Of course, they also speculated a lot about the new position. Many officials believed that Zhou Dudu had the best chance to take over the Zhongshu Ling. Of course, Yuan Yao never thought about it this way. Yuan Yao lowered his head and looked at , just now said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's just as I thought." Ling Tong looked at him with some admiration, and said: "The young governor is really amazing!"

"You said earlier that the governor would not be in charge, and you specifically mentioned these three people. It really is the case. I admire, admire!"

Yuan Yao shook his head and said: "The governor is still young, how could His Majesty let him go to Zhongshutai for retirement? Overseas mansion is booming, Your Majesty can't wait for the governor to win more benefits for the big man, alas, it's a pity, I can't face to face Go to congratulate."

"Nowadays, both of you, Shao Dudu, are among the third orders. After a while, maybe the great governor will also be able to enter the temple to serve as the third order. At that time, you, the young governor, will be the disciples of the third order." , A veritable Disciple of the Three Orders. I see, after more than ten years, maybe I will honor you as Yuan Linggong. If I can live to that time, you should find me a good job."

"Haha, okay, when the time comes, I will let you take charge of the construction of the Han Dynasty in the Overseas Mansion."

"Hahahaha!"

The two laughed out loud.
