The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 477 The new Sun Chen has appeared
"His Majesty."

Dong Jue, the Minister of the Shu State, knelt before Liu Chan.

Liu Chan frowned and felt a little hesitant. He was not actually very familiar with this Shangshu Pushe Dong.

At this moment, there were three people kneeling in front of him.

The two Shangshu Pushe of Shu Han were Dong Jue and Zhuge Zhan.

In addition to them, there was also a minister named Fan Jian.

These three people are currently responsible for the decision-making and execution of Shu Han.

Chen Qi passed away.

This made Liu Chan extremely sad, even more heartbroken than the death of Xiahou Ba.

Before his death, Chen Qi did not leave any last words. He just stared with his eyes wide open.

Without Chen Qi's last words, Liu Chan would have to take the lead and choose one of the two ministers in front of him to serve as the Minister of the Chancellery.

Liu Chan's gaze was fixed on Zhuge Zhan, and his expression became softer.

The Cao thief has Zhong Hui, and I have Zhuge Zhan, so what is there to fear?

When the attendant Fan Jian saw Liu Chan's eyes, he felt something was wrong.

He quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Minister of the Secretariat, Dong Gong, is extremely talented. He served successively as the Prime Minister's Secretary and then as the Prime Minister's Chief Clerk, and served by the Prime Minister's side. The Prime Minister praised him, saying that he was thorough and cautious in his work, without any flaws, and that he was a man of great talent."

"I believe that Lord Dong can replace Marquis Zhong as the Minister of the Chancellery."

He was really afraid that Liu Chan would just wave his hand and let Zhuge Zhan take over as the Minister of the Chancellery.

There was no discord between Fan Jian and Zhuge Zhan. On the contrary, the three of them had a good relationship. However, Zhuge Zhan was too young. Even Zhong Hui of Wei could not be the Minister of the Chancellery at this age!

The consequences of having great power at a young age have been demonstrated by someone next door.

Sometimes, experience is really important. Young people tend to act recklessly and are full of energy. Even if they are very talented, they can easily cause trouble.

Since ancient times, those who became famous at a young age and took on important responsibilities have never had a good ending.

Fan Jian did know how to persuade his own emperor. As expected, upon learning that his own father-in-law had praised this man, Liu Chan looked at him in surprise. He then looked at Zhuge Zhan and asked, "Siyuan, is this true?"

Zhuge Zhan was a little confused. How could he know? When Dong Jue was serving as a secretary to his father, he was still ignorant!

But Zhuge Zhan also knew in his heart that Dong Gong was more suitable to be the Minister of the Chancellery than himself. When Chen Qi was still there, he handed over all matters to Dong Gong and never made any mistakes.

Zhuge Zhan believed that he did not have such ability.

He nodded and said, "Indeed."

Liu Chan immediately felt more at ease. He looked at Dong Jue with a smile and said, "Then please invite Mr. Dong to serve as the Minister of the Chancellery."

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Zhan again. He wanted to promote Zhuge Zhan so that he could help Dong Jue to handle the affairs of the Secretariat. However, he had just been promoted, so it didn't seem a good idea to promote him again at this moment. He decided to wait a little longer.

After arranging these three people, Liu Chan waved his hand and asked them to go back and continue to handle important matters.

After they left, Huang Hao hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from Wu have been driven away by me."

Liu Chan looked a little angry. "They asked us to send troops earlier. We suffered a defeat in Yong'an, but they stayed in the city and refused to come out. Now they want us to help them resist Wang Ji?!"

“This is really too much!!”

Huang Hao quickly said, "Your Majesty is right! The people of Wu are villains and are not worthy of being a counselor!"

Huang Hao has almost no political opinions.

He likes to accumulate some money, build some property, support his relatives, get promoted, etc., but if you ask him about his political views.

Ask him whether he supports the Northern Expedition or recuperation.

Then Huang Hao would first look at his own emperor.

He had no political ambitions and no ideas. The emperor's ideas were his ideas.

The emperor's opinion is his opinion.

He just tried his best to make the emperor happy. Liu Chan looked at him and was in a good mood.

"Huang Husband, you have been doing your duty diligently these days, right? From now on, you will no longer be the Yellow Gate Commander. Instead, you will serve as the Imperial Eunuch, accompanying me and helping me to rectify any shortcomings. In addition, I grant you the rank of Imperial Chariot Commandant!"

This Fengche Duwei was responsible for driving the emperor.

Huang Hao was shocked and bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.

With such an identity, he could even be called a subject instead of a slave. He was directly transformed from a slave of the emperor to an eunuch.

However, he may not be happy about it.

How can I be close to you, my servant?
This news spread quickly, and when the ministers learned that the eunuch had appeared in the Han Dynasty again, they were immediately excited.

The Later Han Dynasty was destroyed because of eunuchs. Do we want to reuse eunuchs now?

Everyone found Dong Jue, and Fan Jian and Zhuge Zhan also came to him at this moment, hoping that he could come forward and prevent Huang Hao from getting more involved in the major events.

In the past, when Huang Hao instigated something around the emperor, the ministers could reprimand him for interfering in government affairs. But now he is legitimately participating in government affairs as a eunuch, which is going to cause big chaos!

The three people in the temple were now sitting in the Shangshu Terrace and began to discuss this matter.

Dong Jue looks very ordinary, even a little common.

Anyway, it’s definitely not the type that Zhong Hui likes.

He sat at the top seat, and the other two sat on either side.

Fan Jian spoke angrily at this moment: "Mr. Chen was too indulgent towards Huang Hao, which led to the current situation!" "If he gets involved in government affairs in the future, won't the Han Dynasty be destroyed by this villain?"

Zhuge Zhan also frowned. He looked at Dong Jue and asked, "Mr. Dong, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Dong Jue was stunned.

He looked a little confused, hesitating, but couldn't come up with a decent solution, and sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead.

Over the years, Dong Jue has always been serving as a deputy to others, with others making decisions and him doing the work.

He is praised for his diligence in his work and for not making any mistakes.

But the problem is that he has never been a decision maker.

Now he was asked to think of a solution himself and then do it. Dong Jue suddenly felt his mind go blank.

He had no idea what to do.

Seeing that Dong Jue was speechless, Fan Jian looked at Zhuge Zhan helplessly.

Zhuge Zhan murmured, "Perhaps I can write a letter to His Majesty, asking him to stay away from these villains."

Fan Jian said seriously: "In short, we will not go along with such a villain!"

Just like that, amid the hesitation of the three people, this important meeting came to an end.

They hadn't even discussed how to do it.

But soon, a man with a solution hurried into the temple.

The person who came was General Jiang Wei.

After Jiang Wei learned that Chen Qi had passed away, he returned to Chengdu again to pay his respects.

The new trio naturally had to go and pay a visit.

Jiang Wei looked older than before, his face looked more and more vicissitudes of life, but his back was not hunched at all and was very straight.

Standing in front of Chen Qi's grave, Jiang Wei remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Dong Jue slowly stepped forward and informed Jiang Wei about Huang Hao's appointment.

"General Huang Hao serves as both the Imperial Household Attendant and the Imperial Chariot Commander. This is not a good thing for the court."

Jiang Wei just woke up at this moment, and he looked at the people beside him.

"So what have you decided to do?"

Dong Jue hesitated for a long time before saying, "We wanted to submit a petition to His Majesty, but His Majesty doted on Huang Hao too much, so we didn't."

After hearing this explanation, a hint of disappointment suddenly appeared in Jiang Wei's eyes.

He sighed.

He once again recalled the words that Chen Zhi had said before he died.

Chen Qi had told Jiang Wei many times that after his death, he must never offend Huang Hao again.

He said that it is very easy to suppress the villain Huang Hao. As long as you give him a little kindness, he can help you a lot.

The emperor dotes on him very much. If he supports him, there will be no need to worry about many things.

Jiang Wei seemed very hesitant at this moment.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with such a villain.

He looked at Dong Jue and said seriously, "Huang Hao is just a eunuch. Are you going to let a eunuch rule the government?"

"Now is not the time to cause internal unrest. You should focus on dealing with the outside world. Since you have no way to deal with him, then do what you can!"

Jiang Wei finished speaking and left quickly.

Fan Jian and Zhuge Zhan stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "What did the general say?"

"The general said he couldn't do anything about it."

Fan Jian immediately frowned and said, "The general has gone on many expeditions over the years without paying any attention to the people, yet has achieved little success. I think the general's fault is no less than Huang Hao's!"

Zhuge Zhan lowered his head, neither agreeing nor supporting.

The three of them could only find a solution on their own.

While the three were still hesitating, Huang Hao was not idle. He began to win over the ministers in the court and cultivate his close relationships, and more and more people had interactions with him.

And these people have gained a lot of benefits.

Huang Hao only needed to say a few words for them in front of the emperor, and their future would be completely different.

why not?

Many people who were unwilling to follow Huang Hao began to be liquidated little by little. Huang Hao did not dare to take action against people of the level of Shangshu Ling, but he was merciless to some small people who expressed dissatisfaction with him on a daily basis.

Those who were not close to him were demoted or exiled.

There was no way the trio could intervene in this matter.

Considering that Huang Hao was dealing with small fry, they did not pursue the matter.

However, this caused great unrest within Shu. Upright officials were dismissed, and those who replaced them were all close to Huang Hao. This solved the problem of the high quality of officials in Shu, and successfully helped Cao Wei solve the problem of too high loyalty in Shu.

When the news reached Luoyang, Cao Mao seemed to see Sun Chen reborn, and he just shook his head with emotion.
