"Yesterday, Mr. Zhongde's family came to visit and asked you to explain. We did not stop him. That's it today." In the prison, Mrs. Cheng knelt in front of Cheng Yu's body in a daze, and her two sons cried.
Shockingly, Cheng Yu hanged himself with a belt. Chu Nan read everyone's opinions and found no problem.
In other words, Cheng Yu really committed suicide!
Chu Nan suppressed the sudden irritability in his heart, came to Mrs. Cheng, sighed and said: "Madam, can you tell me what you said to Mr. Zhongde yesterday when you came to visit the prison?"
Mrs. Cheng did not answer, but just sat there blankly. Cheng Wu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, we only conveyed your words to my father, and did not say anything else."
When Chu Nan heard this, he nodded silently and saluted Mrs. Cheng: "The deceased is gone, but the living are like this. Please show your condolences, Madam."
Mrs. Cheng still sat there blankly, as if she couldn't hear what he said.
Chu Nan didn't say anything more and left the cell. Cheng Yu probably saw his intention and directly ended his life to cut off his thoughts and save his family at the same time.
What should I say? Or what else can I say?
If you continue to pursue me, you will be rude.
"Inform the Ministry of Rites and give him a grand burial." Chu Nan took a deep breath and asked Zhou Cang to give instructions.
The position of the Minister of Rites has not yet been determined, but this does not mean that there is no one in the Ministry of Rites. The six government agencies are now in operation, but the position of the Minister still needs to be officially confirmed by the imperial court.
"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed.
"Can we talk about it?" Just as Chu Nan was about to leave, Guo Jia's voice came from deep in the cell.
After Chu Nan was silent for a moment, someone opened the cell and went straight in.
It was still such a messy cell. Chu Nan sat on the couch and said nothing, and Guo Jia didn't say anything either. He just kept drinking with his head raised.
"What's the matter, sir?" After a long while, Chu Nan broke the silence and looked at Guo Jia and asked.
"Let's make an agreement." Guo Jia looked at Chu Nan and said, "If you can help Marquis Wen defeat Yuan Shao, I will be released from prison."
"Why?" Chu Nan frowned and looked at Guo Jia. He didn't say that two days ago.
"Zhongde has already done his duty to my lord. I should fulfill my lord's ambition." Guo Jia sighed and said, "If you lose, Yuan Shao will let me go when the time comes. If you win, I will too."
I don’t want to waste my time in this prison.”
"May I ask what Mr. Cao's ambition is..." Chu Nan said slightly curiously.
"In the early years, he just wanted to be a general who conquered the West. Although he didn't say it later, I know that he wanted to calm down the troubled times and create a prosperous era again!" Guo Jia said with some regret: "It's a pity that my lord will not be able to see that day. I think.
Help him see that day."
People have different ambitions at different times. In his early years, Cao Cao's status was not high. If the Han Dynasty did not have ten permanent attendants, Dong Zhuo and other things, the limit of Cao Cao's life might be to be the general who conquered the west. But later he took charge of the government and held the power of the world.
, my thoughts are naturally not the same as when I was young.
To calm down the troubled times?
Chu Nan nodded. Most of the princes in troubled times have similar ambitions. As for re-creating a prosperous age, there is no need to take it seriously. After the troubled times, the people have made up their minds. Both ordinary people and nobles will cherish the hard-won stability. Of course,
When everyone is working hard in a good direction, prosperity will naturally come.
"It's a deal!" Chu Nan looked at Guo Jiada and said, "Sir, there is no need to be too sad about Mr. Zhongde's matter."
Guo Jia suddenly laughed: "Zhongde seeks benevolence and gets benevolence. The ending now is exactly what he wanted. Why should I be sad?"
It is naturally impossible to be happy. An old friend has left. An important friend in life suddenly leaves forever. The discomfort and loss are inevitable, but there is no need to be overly sad. As he said, this result is Cheng Yu's choice.
, which is also what he wishes. For him, it is a good thing.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Seeing that Guo Jia had no intention of talking anymore, Chu Nan stood up and said.
Guo Jia raised his head and took a sip of wine: "I won't send it."
Chu Nan turned around and left the prison, and the depression in his chest gradually dissipated.
He did not go to the government office and went straight back to the mansion. Chu Rong came to tell Zhao Yan that he had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, Chu Nan didn't really want to see the other party at the moment, but he couldn't shirk what he had already promised. He nodded immediately and led Zhou Cang to the main hall.
"I've met the envoy!" Zhao Yan quickly stood up and saluted when he saw Chu Nan.
"Mr. Boyan is much older than me, so there is no need to sit down in such a formal manner." Chu Nan showed a smile on his face, sat on the main seat, and motioned for Zhao Yan to take a seat.
"Thank you so much, envoy!" Zhao Yan sat down very respectfully, with a look of admiration: "I have heard about your reputation for a long time, and I just wish I didn't have the opportunity to meet you. It is really a blessing for Yan to be summoned by you today."
His attitude was sincere and senior, and he vividly interpreted the emotion of regretting seeing each other so late. If Chu Nan hadn't had the ability to read minds, and even more emotional powers to be able to keenly detect the resistance and hatred in the other person's heart, he might have believed it.
Therefore, those who can get along in the court, let alone other things, have absolutely no problem with their acting skills. Just like now, Zhao Yan, not only in his heart, but also in his emotions clearly hates and hates Chu Nan, but
What he showed was an expression of admiration, which could not be seen at all just by looking at his eyes and facial expressions.
"Oh?" Chu Nan didn't bother to be polite to someone who had malicious intentions and no ability. He smiled and said, "Since it's a blessing, how can Boyan thank me?"
Zhao Yan: "..."
Even with his acting skills, he couldn't help but show a bit of anger at this moment. These words were just polite words, but the other party actually took them seriously. Moreover, with the gesture of giving charity to give you face when he saw you, it was obvious that the other party didn't really understand hospitality.
Rhetoric itself is contempt for oneself.
"If your Majesty is willing to accept it, Yan is willing to do it to your heart's content!" Zhao Yan quickly calmed down his emotions. He knew that he had no reason to get angry in front of Chu Nan. The moment he lowered his head, he controlled his anger. When he raised his head,
He already had a righteous and power-hungry smile on his face.
"Okay!" Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction. No matter what he thought in his heart, his attitude was very good. Is this like a gesture of asking for help? He nodded and said: "Has Boyan ever known about the Six Divisions?"
"Of course I know." Zhao Yan nodded quickly, and the Sixth Department began to lay out. Many civil and military ministers or celebrities saw that the Sixth Department was going to take over the rights of the Jiuqing and even the Three Dukes. The matter was already widely spread in the government and the public, and many officials
People are criticizing Lu Bu for his arrogant ambition. After all, as soon as the Six Divisions came out, the original Sangong and Jiuqing were completely turned into decorations. Moreover, according to the news from Lu Bu, the status of the Six Divisions was also compared to that of the Nine Qings. This made the civil and military affairs of the DPRK
accept?
Part of the reason why Zhao Yan visited Chu Nan was to see if he could take this opportunity to dispel the other party's idea. However, when Chu Nan spoke, he could not figure out Chu Nan's purpose and did not dare to make any rash comments.
"Among the six ministers, in addition to the six ministers, there are also left and right ministers under each minister. I will be in charge of the household department. If Boyan is willing, he can be the left minister of the household department and handle official affairs for me. Are you willing?" Chu
Nan looked at Zhao Yan and smiled.
"This..." Zhao Yan was startled. He was here to persuade Chu Nan to give up the idea of establishing six divisions. How could it be possible for him to join now?
He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
After all, this is a good opportunity to get close to Chu Nan and gradually integrate into them. If he refuses, the consequences will probably be that he will not only be unable to stop the establishment of the Six Divisions, but also turn against Chu Nan.
"Now in this court, the three nobles and the nine ministers are all lowly people. If you want to do something, it will be difficult to count on these people." Chu Nan sighed and said: "In this case, it is better to start a new business and recruit people with lofty ideals.
That way I can do some practical things for the court."
Zhao Yan originally wanted to refute, but he thought about how he was running around all these days. The higher the position in the court, the less willing he was to actually do things for the court. Instead, they were running around like clowns.
There was some inexplicable resentment in my heart towards those so-called virtuous and respected lords of the court, and this resentment was growing rapidly.
"I understand that Boyan is also a person who cares about the world, so I invite him sincerely, but I don't know if Boyan is willing to give in?" Seeing Zhao Yan not answering, Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"Thank you for not giving up. If you are willing, I am willing to share your worries for you!" After thinking clearly about what he wanted, Zhao Yan looked solemn and bowed to Chu Nan.
For the public, he wants to infiltrate the Lu Bu Group and try to instigate divisions from within. For the private sector, the inaction of the officials in the court these days has really disappointed him. From this point of view, the establishment of six ministries to replace the three public and nine ministers,
That's not a bad thing either.
Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction. This kind of person can be controlled by a few words and emotions. He is really not a powerful person, but his heart to serve the country is worthy of praise. He then smiled and said: "Okay, Boyan did not disappoint me.
However, the establishment of the Six Ministries still needs to be officially accepted by the imperial court. However, in the past few days, there has been a lot of criticism about this matter. Since Boyan is the councilor, this matter still requires Boyan to move around more and persuade more people to support the Six Ministries.
."
Above the court, it is still a world of nobles. What Chu Nan has to do is to get more people above the court to support this matter. Now that a spy has come, in order to win his trust, he must show his ability.
"This..." Zhao Yan was a little confused: "I don't want to be your envoy, but I am just a district councilman. In the court, people are quiet and talk lightly. I am afraid that I will not be able to do this."
"Is it difficult to do the job?" Chu Nan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan, his face suddenly turned cold and said: "Bo Yan, the six departments are recruiting talented people who can do things for the imperial court. If anything needs to be done by me, I will do it myself.
, what’s the point of recruiting you to these six departments? Are you waving the flag to cheer me up?”
Zhao Yan's spine went cold when Chu Nan looked at him, and he quickly said: "Don't worry, I will do my best in this matter!"
Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction. A strong fortress is always easiest to break through from the inside. If it is placed here among the nobles... is the same reason true?
