Chapter 913 A Big Game

"What? Brother? How can I be the third order?" The big fat man sat in front of Liu Xi. He had already broken a lot of Liu Xi's chairs. Now the chair he made was specially designed by Ma Jun. What he did for him was enough to bear the weight that ordinary Hu chairs should not bear. Liu Yi, who was helping Liu Ba with the treasury affairs, heard that the emperor was going to summon him, lifted his heavy body, and rushed to the palace.

It's been a while since my elder brother saw me, probably since the last time, after I broke the beard chair left by my uncle, my elder brother was a little irritable, and when he saw me, he was very angry, and he kept letting me He tried to lose weight by himself, but Liu Yi was also very bitter. He tried many methods, diet and exercise, but no matter what, he still looked like this.

With a face full of flesh, even Hu'er would subconsciously be a little scared when he saw him, after all, he was big and fierce.

Seeing the giant man sitting in front of him, Liu Xi knew him well. Under this burly figure, there was a simple and generous heart. His heart was like his body. He never made enemies with others. Inside, there are no enemies, and as he grows older, he will not rely on his identity as the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang to bully others like he did when he was young.

"This position, only you are the most suitable, so don't refuse any more. There are no outsiders here, so don't talk nonsense." Liu Xi said, glanced at him, and then asked: "Tomorrow, I will announce Tianxia, ​​you will be Sanling from now on, you should pay more attention when doing things, especially when eating, I don’t ask you to eat like Sanling, but try to be like a person.”

"Brother, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's that I really can't do it. Brother, don't you understand me? I just muddle through, and I just dawdle in the temple. For a person like me, if I become a third order, it's like a big man." Disaster." Liu Yi said helplessly, Liu Xi sneered, and said impatiently: "If you let me be you, I will be you, Xiu wants nonsense."

"What do you think of Tiger?"

"Well, I think it's good, I think he is always imitating Yeye."

"Oh, yeah? He is also worthy?" Liu Xi said disdainfully, and then he became serious, and said: "In today's temples, there are only you and me in the veins of Emperor Xiaokang. Hu'er... I am impatient, I am really worried... the big man of the future."

"Brother, this."

"Shut up and keep listening to me!"

"Yes." Liu Yi lowered his head a little aggrieved.

"In order to prevent Hu'er from messing around, I plan to arrange some people to watch him. People like Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Liu Ba, and Deng Ai can definitely watch Hu'er and prevent him from messing around. Zhan'er, Yao'er and the others will take over," Liu Xi said seriously, paused, and continued: "However, these people are all too close to Zhuge Liang. Do you understand?"

"It's not his friend, it's his disciple, the son of the family..."

"But... brother? Kong Ming is not the one you trust the most." Liu Yi's eyes widened, and just after asking a question, Liu Xi scolded angrily: "I didn't say he was not, wait patiently for me to finish speaking, don't open your mouth !"

"Didn't you ask me, brother?" Liu Yi secretly complained, and stopped.

"I can't leave a separate faction in the temple, so I need you to take up the position of the three orders." At this time, Liu Xi just looked at Liu Yi. Liu Yi knew that he could speak, so he spoke Said: "Isn't there still Sima Yi? He has a disagreement with Zhuge Liang, can he be restrained?"

"He can't. What's more, he has already served as the order of servants, and the order of Zhongshu can only be taken by you."

"I probably understand what you mean, brother. Do you want me to supervise Zhuge Liang's group in the future?" Liu Yi frowned and asked seriously, Liu Xi raised his head and shook his head slightly, "No, you want It’s not Kong Ming who is going to deal with them, it’s hard to compete with them on your own, you should take your place first, don’t worry, you’ll know who you should deal with in the future.”

Liu Yi nodded half-understood and didn't ask any more questions. He could only thank his brother for his kindness and left Houde Hall.

The news that Liu Yi was worshiped as Zhongshuling caused a gust of wind in Luo County. The two Sanlings who knew the situation in advance were easy to talk about, but those who had already set their sights on this position and couldn't wait to get a job. The servants who showed their talents felt uncomfortable, but fortunately, Liu Yi was the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, with a prominent family background and a kind-hearted person, so few people openly expressed their dissatisfaction.

But there are exceptions.

Household.

Zhong Changtong frowned and sat in the study with a very angry face. Xu Shu sat calmly in front of him and persuaded him helplessly: "I told you a long time ago that the position of Sanling is not so easy. You You still have dreams of San Ling all day long, how about it, now you know that I am right? Zhongshu Ling, you have to be the confidant of the emperor to be in charge, do you think you are the confidant of the emperor?"

"The position of Zhongshu Ling is to be in charge of the court's discussion, to be the master of the world, and to draw up all the policies and orders of the temple. How can it be determined by default because of the relationship with the emperor?? As for Liu Yi, can it be Can you do better than me? Today's three orders, such as Zhuge Kongming, only the emperor is the order, even if the emperor has something wrong, he will not dare to correct it!"

"A person like Sima Yi has directly become the mouthpiece of the emperor in the temple, and has no sense of being a minister at all!"

"But it's even better now. In the book, the relatives of the emperor directly act as the orders. Shouldn't the officials of the temple work for the benefit of the great man? How can they all start to flatter the emperor and only covet their own status?"

Zhong Changtong was talking a little excitedly, but Xu Shu hurriedly interrupted him, "Xiu is talking nonsense!" He looked around cautiously, and then continued: "You don't want to die?? What's more, today's temples , It’s not as unbearable as you said, Zhuge Sima and others are all capable ministers in this world, can you do better than them?”

"Maybe I'm not as good as them, but I won't be like Sima Yi and keep silent to protect myself, and I won't be like Zhuge Liang who won't dissuade the emperor just because of the reputation of a loyal minister. For a big man!" Zhong Changtong said seriously.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things. The emperor has already decided on the candidates for the three orders. In this case, let's continue to work on the things in hand and stop thinking about them." Xu Shu looked at the few people in front of him. The clerk continued: "The emperor has already ordered us to complete the detailed investigation of the household registration of the counties in the Central Plains in a short period of time."

"You said the emperor didn't want to re-implement the household registration management of the former Han?"

"Oh, the emperor has this idea, but it may be more relaxed than that of the early Han Dynasty. At least it will not restrict the movement of the people. This is what I told the emperor. With the shortage of cultivated land, the people gradually began to go to some states. You, in areas such as Ji, Qing, Yan, Henan, etc., there are many merchants here, who have accumulated a large number of weaving machines, and need a large number of manpower. More and more Yu Ding began to engage in these things and work for others.”

"It's different from the farm laborers in the pre-Qin period. In this case, if the migration of the people is restricted, there will be a large number of rangers without land, which will disturb the law and order of the counties."

When talking about affairs, Zhong Changtong was also quite involved, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness just now. While talking, he suddenly asked again: "By the way, do you still remember Pangzhou Mu?"

"Of course I remember, why?"

"Hahaha, I hit it off with him right away, and he also supports my ideas, and, most importantly, he is also somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and the others. It may be above me, if this person can help us, that would be great."

Xu Shu nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "That's not bad, but, after all, you are a local official, so you should not be close friends."

"Don't worry, it is said that he will be transferred to the temple soon."

"He also introduced me to Duke Zhou of the Overseas Mansion. This Zhou Pushe is also an interesting person. If the three of us come to serve as the three orders, it is inevitable. If the three of us join forces, we will not be able to compete for the three orders. s position."

"Are you still thinking about this?" Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, and said, "You should stop thinking about it, this position is still up to the emperor, no matter how many people you win over, it's nothing Useful"

"Yuanzhi?"

"Ok?"

"You said that the world of the great man belongs to the common people? Or?"

"shut up!"

The 22nd year of Yankang came. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also officially rushed to Liangzhou and left the temple. All the affairs in the temple fell on Sima Yi and Liu Yi. Liu Yi was in a hurry and messed up a lot In the end, he handed over all the important matters to Sima Yi. Sima Yi treated him politely and did not feel dissatisfied because of it.

Zhuge Liang went to Liangzhou to expand the gate of Xizhou's foreign trade. At least, he himself said so, and the officials in the temple did not know that the emperor had already planned to use force against Guishuang, and Zhuge Liang's trip Liangzhou, in fact, is to provide a strong logistics for the army. He wants to become Xiao He in the Yankang era and concurrently serve as Han Xin.

It is worth mentioning that the prince Liu Qu also rushed to Liangzhou. It is said that Zhuge Liang wanted to take him to inspect the area so that the prince could see the situation in the area. Even the Southern Army sent people to protect the prince all the way. After arriving in Liangzhou, the Southern Army went to the Northern Army's garrison in Xizhou after arriving in Liangzhou. It was said that they wanted to practice with the Northern Army.

But what the officials didn't know was that there was another person who also rushed to Liangzhou secretly to meet Zhuge Liang in private.

This person is the messenger who pointed directly at the embroidered clothes, Yuan Shang.
