I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 595 Qingliu Department’s Plan
In Xun You's house, on this day, all the Qingliu family members, headed by Ma Rixi, Liu Biao and others, gathered here.

Of course, it was not everyone, but the main top representatives. What everyone discussed was nothing else, but a discussion about the period when Dong Zhuo was not in the court.

The old system of public ministers and ministers tried their best to suppress them, so everyone needs to discuss a countermeasure to this matter.

Ma Rixi first said: "Now that Dong Zhuo is no longer in the court, the Chang'an court is dominated by Yang Biao, Chun Yujia and others. No one can restrict them. Li Ru and others are just sitting back and watching. They are now They focused all their attention on us and tried their best to suppress restrictions. The two vacancies we devolved to Fufeng County three months ago were rejected and occupied by them. This was a clear power grab, and there was no Taking into account the regulations of the imperial court and the majesty of the emperor."

"The problem is that the emperor is also strange. They all did this, and the emperor didn't respond. He just let them do whatever they wanted day by day!"

"Could it be said that for the emperor, we, the Qingliu people, should form a check and balance with Dong Zhuo, Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others? Isn't it the art of Zhenghe Emperor?"

"Why let it go so far?"

Dong Zhao on the side said in a low voice: "In my opinion, it is not that the emperor does not understand the truth behind this. He is unhappy and resentful that we are too inclined to the general, so he uses this as a punishment."

Dong Zhao's words were deeply felt by Xun You and others.

It hits the mark!
Xun You stroked his beard and said slowly: "That's right. Last time, the emperor was greatly angered by the appointment of General Fuyuan. That incident actually made the emperor lose his face. Especially recently, we want to promote Liu Xuande to become the shepherd of Xuzhou, fearing that we will offend the emperor's rebels again... The emperor is silent now and should not be angry. He just wants to sit back and watch Wang Yun and others attack us. In this way, we can express his feelings. He was dissatisfied and punished us.”

Ma Rixi let out a long sigh and said, "Why is Your Majesty so narrow-minded?"

"Everything in the court is always determined by the luck of the time. It's been so long, why does the emperor still care about it? How can he have any emperor's mind?"

Don't tell me, Ma Rixi has some opinions on this matter, and Liu Bian is indeed a bit petty in this matter.

Since ancient times, there has never been harmony between monarchs and ministers, but always full of games.

And as a king, he is not the one who always wins.

Every year, every month, or even every day, there would be times when monarchs and ministers in the past dynasties had different opinions.
Sometimes the ministers can make the king make concessions, and sometimes the king can make the ministers make concessions. They can try and learn from each other.

But no matter how fierce the fight between the two sides is, it means one thing ends up being the same.

After one thing passed, the relationship between the king and his ministers changed. They would only look at the next thing and the future.

Regardless of whether you are a minister or a king, if you only care about the original affairs with each other, it means that you are not worthy of being a politician!

At least not a qualified politician.

Although Ma Rixi's words seemed to be speculating on the king, they were still reasonable.

Everyone present was somewhat silent after hearing this.

Soon we heard Xun You say slowly: "Although the emperor's mind is not broad, he is not stupid. We don't have to worry, the emperor will not let us Qingliu people be completely swallowed up by Wang Yun and others easily."

Zhang Ji immediately said: "I am willing to listen to Gong Dagong's high opinions."

Xun You waved his hand modestly.

"There is no great talk, it's just some superficial opinions."

"According to Xun You, although the emperor is quite resentful towards us, after all, your majesty is also a wise master and understands the overall situation."

"Your Majesty knows in his heart what kind of situation is most beneficial to the imperial power. Nowadays, everything in the court is complicated. He is temporarily on the same front with Dong Zhuo. This is just because of Dong Zhuo's new policy and his policy of sending troops to Xiliang, which is contrary to the emperor's plan. If the two coincide with each other, they will not always be on the same front, and the emperor is very clear about this."

"And for the current emperor, Dong Zhuo is also a major force that he uses to check and balance the officials in the court. Since Dong Zhuo entered the court, the officials in the modern and literary circles have obtained the ancient literary school in order to take the initiative in politics. The support among the people of the gentry against Dong led to the transfer of many positions to scholars from the ancient classics department."

"This is the change in officialdom, and now the situation in the court is different. Our existence is also crucial to the emperor! In the eyes of the emperor, we Qingliu are an important chess piece."

"Although Your Majesty is taking advantage of the situation to suppress us, he doesn't want us to be completely wiped out."

"In that case, let's just comply with His Majesty's wishes and let ourselves be severely suppressed."

Ma Rixi stroked Xi Zi, looked at Xun You doubtfully and said, "Gongda means to take the initiative to show weakness to His Majesty?"

Xun You smiled and shook his head.

"If it's not enough to just show weakness, we take the initiative to give up some positions to show that we are out of breath and overwhelmed by the princes and clans, so that His Majesty can't control the strength."

"In this case, the emperor will naturally panic."

"The emperor wants to punish us, but he doesn't want us to be brought down by Wang Yun and others."

"If we take the initiative to show that we are beyond our capabilities, the emperor will naturally become nervous."

"At that time, some things will not be as passive as they are now."

Listening to what Xun You said, Ma Rixi couldn't help but admire him greatly.

No wonder Xun Shuang must do his best to support his little grandson before he died. This Xun Gongda was indeed an extraordinary person.

What a brilliant plan!

It seems that the backbone of the Qingliu series has been completely confirmed.

It’s him, Xun Gongda!
I think that not long after, people like me will be led by Xun Gongda and follow their lead.

At this moment, I heard Zhang Ji say from the side:
"In addition to taking the initiative to show weakness, I believe that we must also penetrate our sincerity to the imperial power to another person at the same time."

“In this way, we may be able to get twice the result with half the effort.”

Xun You could be regarded as knowing the elegance of Xianqin. He said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the person De Rong is talking about is the Queen Mother?"

"Exactly! Although we tried our best to support General Fuyuan at the beginning, which made the Queen Mother dissatisfied, but the Queen Mother is a female generation after all, and she is not very resourceful. Although the Queen Mother is narrow-minded, she is greedy for vanity and puts more emphasis on fame and fortune."

"As long as we can plan carefully, we may be able to get the Queen Mother to side with us again."

"Under the current situation, although His Majesty is arbitrary, he still does not dare to make too many mistakes when facing his mother."

"With both preparations, His Majesty will naturally be quite inclined towards us."

Xun You hesitated for a moment and said, "But if we respect the Queen Mother too much, it might not be a good thing for Your Majesty. After all, Your Majesty is not very open-minded. What will happen if Your Majesty holds a grudge?"

Zhang Ji immediately said: "It's just appropriate. According to someone's intention, now He Jin, He Miao and others are dead. However, there are other branches of the He family in Nanyang, but their relationship with the Queen Mother is not deep. In addition, when Dong Zhuo entered the Beijing has emptied the power in the court and cut off the He family's relatives in the court, so the He family's relatives have no ability to re-enter the court."

"But now we do have a few vacancies. Instead of using our own people for these vacancies, we should take the initiative to find a few suitable people from the He clan in Nanyang."

"The Queen Mother was happy to learn that one of her clansmen had been appointed, even though the official position was not prestigious."

"After all, as a female, he still needs his relatives to support her."

"Moreover, Chun Yujia, Yang Biao and others have suppressed us very hard. Once the members of the He family who were supported are defeated by them, what will the Queen Mother think of them?"

What Zhang Ji said suddenly made everyone present realize.

Xun You smiled and said, "But have you ever thought that plotting against the emperor's biological mother might displease His Majesty?"

Zhang Ji said confidently: "Your Majesty is not happy. Naturally, the Queen Mother will tell you. If there is any trouble, it will be between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. What does it have to do with us? Could it be that the Queen Mother has given us instructions to install suitable people? How can we refuse?" Isn’t the Queen Mother successful?”

Xun You couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Sure enough, De Rong's thoughts are very sharp. Hey, it seems that he is still a little behind compared to De Rong in some aspects." "I don't dare, it's too much to say this publicly."

"Then let De Rong find a way to contact Dachangqiu and ask him to find a way to convey our sincerity to the Queen Mother."

"No, I'll do it right now."

"in addition……"

Xun You seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said slowly: "In addition, send someone to explain our affairs to the general. Although these matters have nothing to do with the general, we should inform the general. I want to come. There’s no harm in that either.”

"promise."

……

Langya Kingdom, Yangdu County, the former residence of Zhuge family.

Today, Liu Jian personally visited the Zhuge family's former residence in Langya Kingdom. Long before he came to Langya Kingdom, Zhuge family had been secretly targeted by his order.

He was worried that before the war in Xuzhou was over, Zhuge Shi would move to Xuzhou as he had done in history.

Although Xuzhou has not been massacred by Cao Cao on a large scale like in history, the Zhuge family are not ordinary people after all, and their ideas are different from others. If they feel that Xuzhou is no longer suitable for them and leave, they will look for them in the future. , I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort again.

Moreover, Liu Jian had a lot of affairs. If he forgot this incident, when he remembered it again, he would not know what year or day it happened.

The person in charge of the Zhuge family is Zhuge Xuan, who is also the father of Zhuge Jin and other three brothers.

Nowadays, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and other three brothers are still young, and Liu Jian came to visit in person. It is difficult to say that he came specially because of them.

Therefore, he visited the Zhuge family in the name of conquering Zhuge Xuan. After all, Zhuge Xuan was quite famous at this time.
When Yuan Shu occupied Huainan before, he also extended an olive branch to Zhuge Xuan.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu was quickly defeated later, which made Zhuge Xuan's plan to seek refuge with Yuan Shu in vain.

Now, Liu Bei has taken over all military and political affairs in Xuzhou. After appointing Zhang Zhao and Lu Su, Liu Bei began to carry out drastic reforms and implementation of the political affairs in Xuzhou, including farming and imperial examinations.

When Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, his legal and administrative methods were too weak, and everything was in conflict.

Therefore, if you take a closer look now, you will find that there are many loopholes in Xuzhou's administrative and military aspects.

Now Liu Bei wants to specifically fill these sulfur leaks, and at the same time formulate a set of plans and plans similar to those in Hebei, so that everything in Xuzhou can go on the right track.

But this will also make Liu Bei very busy.

Now Liu Bei no longer has time to accompany Liu Jian to search for talents. He is very busy every day in Xuzhou.

Liu Jian handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and he himself became the boss.

What does the hands-off shopkeeper do?Naturally, he searched for talented people everywhere and appointed these talented people to Liu Bei.

As for the administration of Xuzhou and the checking and filling of deficiencies, Liu Jian would not help Liu Bei.

The leader of a state must have the responsibilities of the leader of a state.

Facing the recruitment of General Fuyuan, Zhuge Xuan was naturally overjoyed, and at the same time he also felt deeply proud.

So he agreed to Liu Jian's request without retreating and was willing to help.

Of course, Liu Jian did not ask Zhuge Xuan to return to Hebei with him, but asked Zhuge Xuan to stay here to assist Liu Bei.

In addition, Liu Jian also made a request to meet Zhuge Xuan's two disciples.

Zhuge Xuan's two disciples are Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. As for Zhuge Xuan's third disciple, Zhuge Jun, he is still too young to be considered by Liu Jian for the time being, and Zhuge Jun is not considered in history. The deeds he performed were relatively simple and did not leave any reputation.
Since Liu Jian wanted to see him, Zhuge Xuan naturally couldn't stop him, so he called his two servants over.

When he was young, he saw Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang coming to Liu Jian.

Sure enough, both children have fully inherited the appearance genes of their parents. They are tall, tall and handsome.

The eldest brother, Zhuge Jin, is now 21 years old and has reached the age of officialdom.

The second eldest brother, Zhuge Liang, is 14 years old and still young.

However, Zhuge Liang, who is only 14 years old, has already surpassed most of his peers in terms of figure, and is almost on par with people aged [-] or [-] in this era.

In terms of appearance, the two brothers are also two handsome guys.

Zhuge Jin has grown up and is a rare talent, which Liu Jian likes very much.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin was old enough to serve as an official, so Liu Jian felt that he could take up a post under Liu Bei, assisting Liu Bei in government affairs while exercising his own abilities.

"Ziyu, I want to recruit you to serve in Xuzhou and assist my brother Xuande in handling Xuzhou affairs. Are you willing?"

Zhuge Jin had admired the reputation of General Fuyuan for a long time. Now that he saw Liu Jian in person and saw that he was amiable, he was naturally happy and admired him very much.

Zhuge Jin stood up, prostrated himself in front of Liu Jian and said, "The general invites you sincerely, but Jin dares not to obey! I am willing to stay in Xuzhou and assist Duke Xuande in doing my best to complete my merits!"

Zhuge Jin's attitude made Liu Jian very satisfied.

He immediately asked him to stand up and sit down.

Later, Liu Jian turned his attention to 14-year-old Zhuge Liang.

When he was having a Q&A with the two Zhuge brothers just now, Liu Jian also made a point of questioning the two brothers. During this period, Zhuge Jin answered more and Zhuge Liang answered less.

And Liu Jian could see that Zhuge Jin seemed to be deliberately showing off his talents.

Zhuge Liang did not show off himself, but only answered very modestly. When the question fell on him, he would answer when he had to answer. Moreover, Zhuge Liang's answer was quite satisfactory, neither crossing the line nor hiding anything. .

A 14-year-old boy looks very mature.

Since Zhuge Liang is only 14 years old and has no nickname yet, Liu Jian can only call him by his first name.

"Zhuge Liang."

"exist."

"Your father and brother have already joined the official service in Xuzhou. Do you have any opinion about serving under the new Xuzhou Mu? Accompany your father and brother to join the official service in Xuzhou and learn about military and political affairs?"

Zhuge Liang replied very respectfully: "The general has such high regard for me, Zhuge Shi. Liang is very grateful. However, Liang is only fourteen. Even if he is able to serve under Xuzhou Mu and enter an official office, I am afraid that he may not be of much use."

Liu Jian said: "This guy is all practicing."

"As long as you have a diligent heart and talent, and are trained among officials, you will naturally become a great talent in the future."

"You are only 14 years old now. If you can get involved in state and county affairs in advance, it will be of great benefit to your growth. You will also start far ahead of others of your age. Aren't you excited?"

Zhuge Liang's expression gave Liu Jian the feeling that... he was really not moved.

　Today the two are in one, this is the only update
