"See my lord!" In the secret room of the Ministry of Revenue, a figure appeared silently behind Chu Nan. The person who came was very young, a few years older than Chu Nan, and his skin was fair and seemed to have no blood. In the dim light, it looked like
With a somewhat penetrating appearance and a feminine appearance that exudes a bit of fierceness, he is none other than Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu.
"How are you?" Chu Nan smiled when he saw Huang Xu.
"Thank you for your trouble, my ejaculation is no longer a serious problem." Huang Xu's voice was as feminine as his appearance, but it didn't sound like a eunuch's, instead it had a different kind of richness.
Since Chu Nan cured him, he has been recuperating in Xuzhou. Under Hua Tuo's care, he was recuperated a few months ago. However, the war was over by then. Huang Xu came to Xuchang and was ordered by Chu Nan to form an ANBU. As the ANBU commander and deputy
Dutong is Shi A.
"You must have understood what the Anbu is going to do." Chu Nan motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"My humble position is to protect the lord and the capital on the surface, but secretly I am responsible for supervising the officials and collecting intelligence." Huang Xu naturally understood that when he was still in Xuzhou, Chu Nan had already told him about the ANBU's plans. When he was in Xuzhou,
He has already started making preparations.
"Now add another one, explore the secret places in various places. I want detailed locations. The ANBU is in charge of intelligence. This intelligence is divided into two parts, internally. Internally, it is to monitor hundreds of officials and collect evidence of their crimes. You are in charge of it. Externally, including
It is up to Shi A to spy on the intelligence of the princes and explore the secret areas. It is up to you to inform him." Chu Nan looked at Huang Xu and said with a smile: "But whether you can suppress him depends on your own ability."
After all, Huang Xu was young. As a direct disciple of the swordsman Wang Yue, Shi A had rich martial arts and martial arts experience. The biggest problem of martial arts warriors was their unruliness. Chu Nan could set Shi A as Huang Xu's deputy, but it was impossible to help him.
Huang Xu went to suppress his subordinates and had to do everything by himself, so what's the point?
"Lord, don't worry, I understand my humble position." Huang Xu bowed and said.
"Go ahead and tell Shi A to get the secret information as soon as possible. I want the most detailed information." Chu Nan nodded.
"Here!" Huang Xu nodded and retreated into the shadows. With the sound of the door, the person had disappeared into the room.
Chu Nan continued to deal with his files as if no one had been here, including the chaos of monsters, stabilizing the court, prices in Xuchang, pacifying the gentry, implementing the New Deal, and ensuring people's livelihood. With so many things to be handled together, the six departments will be very busy next.
Including the Rites Department, we will be very busy for a long time to come.
Although he, the Minister of Household Affairs, has a lot of "capable" subordinates at his disposal, he can't really wander around every day with nothing to do.
The night was already dark, and Xun Yu was preparing to rest and sleep as usual, but the sudden arrival of visitors disrupted his rhythm of life. There had been no visitors for a long time since Lu Bu entered Xuchang.
As an old minister of Cao Cao, Xun Yu had a gap with the princes in the court. He thought that Lu Bu would clean up after he came, but he didn't. Apart from depriving him of his position as minister, he did not take any action. He was happy to be quiet and returned.
Living a quiet life, watching the changes in the world situation, and not having so many troubles coming to his door, for him, this kind of life is actually not bad.
Lu Bu neither surrendered nor persecuted him, as if he did not exist. Not only did Lu Bu seem to have forgotten his existence, but the emperor and the princes also seemed to have forgotten him, so that today someone suddenly visited and made Xun Yu
A little dazed.
"Mr. Zirou, Gong Wenju." When he saw the two visitors, Xun Yu knew that his pure days were probably coming to an end.
"Wen Ruo looks good." Kong Rong and Zhao Wen sat down respectively and looked at Xun Yu. Zhao Wen said with a smile.
"It's acceptable." Xun Yu asked his maid to serve tea to the two of them, and asked, "I wonder if the second master came here late at night on important matters?"
"Wen Ruo should have heard about the establishment of the Six Ministries." Zhao Wen was the first to speak, looking at Xun Yu and smiling.
"Yes." Xun Yu nodded. Although he was idle at home, he was in Xuchang and from a famous family. Even if his family was in the cold now, it was impossible for him to not know about such a big thing as the establishment of the Six Ministries.
This is just a game of alternation of power. Lu Bu has just arrived, and the three ministers and ministers in the court have done nothing wrong. Since they want to take advantage of the power of the court, they cannot arbitrarily dismiss the ministers without any reason, establish six ministries, and reform the official system.
It can be regarded as a relatively gentle method in the process of power transition.
For the imperial court, this matter cannot be said to be good or bad. If Lu Bu rudely removes all the important ministers from their positions and puts his own people in the position, as if he were implementing the New Deal, then the prestige of the imperial court will be completely lost. For Lu Bu, the imperial court will become
If there is no such thing as a burden, then Dong Zhuo will probably serve as a lesson for Lu Bu.
However, for scholars, it is not a good thing that Lu Bu is so calm and wise. This shows that it is difficult to deal with Lu Bu like Dong Zhuo.
He could probably guess how the nobles would deal with Lu Bu. They would simply bow their heads and join Lu Bu's subordinates, and then wait for an opportunity to cause discord among his monarchs and ministers internally. In the end, Lu Bu would be left alone and had to rely on the nobles. By then, the nobles would be able to stand up.
The opportunity has come.
"The Ministry of Rites still lacks the position of Zuo Shilang. I wonder if Wen Ruo is willing to submit?" Zhao Wen and Kong Rong looked at each other, looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile.
The right-hand minister is the right-hand man of each minister. Although the official rank is not high, he holds the real power of each ministry. It is a very important official position.
Xun Yu was startled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "There are so many outstanding people in Xuchang, why do you want me to take up this position?"
Why?
Xun Yu naturally knew that he had been Cao Cao's right-hand man before, and he had turned the tide when Cao Cao was facing a desperate situation. He was quite prestigious among the officials promoted by Cao Cao. It was his prestige that they wanted to borrow to force Cao Cao's side to surrender.
officials to win over.
Now less than half a year has passed since the Battle of Xuchang, and it has been even shorter for Lu Bu's forces to take control of Xuchang. Unexpectedly, these people have already begun secretly planning a new round of fighting so soon.
Do you still want to be the pioneer?
Xun Yu could only smile bitterly at this. Doesn't anyone care about the current situation in the world? Frequent disasters from monsters, soaring prices in Xuchang, frequent chaos, and the declining majesty of the Han Dynasty. In this case, the first thing to consider is not
Stabilize the situation but secretly plot Lu Bu...
It's not that it can't be done, it's just that Xun Yu felt that he shouldn't act at this time. Now even Lu Bu is thinking hard about these things and constantly building up his popularity. The most important thing to do at this time is not to compete with Lu Bu for his popularity.
"Although there are many outstanding people in Xuchang, how many of them can compare with Wen Ruo?" Kong Rong sighed: "Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and treacherous ministers are causing harm to the country, Wen Ruo, when we are serving your Majesty, how can we watch?
Staying out of the way while allowing treacherous ministers to wield power?"
When Cao Cao was alive, he was most likely a traitor.
Xun Yu shook his head helplessly: "Forgive me, I have no intention of becoming an official now. You two should choose others to be worthy, so as not to miss important events."
Kong Rong frowned when he heard this: "Is it possible that Wen Ruo doesn't want to avenge Meng De?"
Xun Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "I'm sorry to say that this is not the time for revenge. If you force yourself to do it, it will end badly in the end, and even your reputation will be tarnished."
"Joke!" Kong Rong snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "A gentleman stands between heaven and earth. He should be loyal to his king and serve his country. This is the time to serve his country..."
Seeing that Kong Rong was getting angry, Zhao Wen was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he interrupted Kong Rong and smiled at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, when I invite you to become an official now, it is not to deal with Lu Bu immediately, but Wen Ruo
If he becomes an official first and has a place in the court, we can also seek the position of a minister for Wen Ruo in the future."
Minister?
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Does Duke Zirou know why he gave up the Ministry of Rites alone?"
He here could be Lu Bu, or Chu Nan, or Chen Gong. These two are the core advisers of Lu Bu's group.
"I'd like to hear the details!" Zhao Wen said without knowing why he said this.
"First, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of sacrifices and diplomacy. The person in charge of the Ministry of Rites must be famous enough to be worthy of the job, and under Lu Bu, except Chen Gong, no one is qualified for this position;"
"Both, the six departments seem to be equal, but the Rites Department is the only one among the six that does not have real power;"
"Third, Lu Bu wants to use this to gather all the princes in the Ministry of Rites for easy supervision. I can be sure that Lu Bu has probably already known about the two of you coming here."
"Among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is not the only one. Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. We are not fighting alone!" Kong Rong corrected. In his opinion, Liu Ye can be regarded as one of his own.
Xun Yu rubbed his temples, shook his head helplessly and said: "You two know that Liu Ye fought side by side with Chu Nan in Jianghuai. After Chu Nan led his troops into Runan, Liu Ye was in charge of the military and political affairs in Jianghuai."
Taking charge of Jianghuai's military and political affairs is tantamount to exposing Liu Ye's back.
Without Xun Yu's explanation, the two of them immediately understood Liu Ye's position beside Chu Nan. Would such a person really tie them up to deal with Lu Bu?
"But he is a clan member of the Han clan!" Kong Rong could not understand that Xun Yu surrendered to Chu Nan, and Liu Ye, as a clan clan member of the Han clan, should not work for Chu Nan.
"The most indispensable thing in this world is probably the clan members of the Han Dynasty!" Xun Yu reminded helplessly.
Since Emperor Gaozu, it has been passed down for four hundred years. Most people with the surname Liu in the world have some connection with the Han clan. Just like Liu Bei, he is naturally a Han clan, but the lineage of Prince Jing of Zhongshan is not the same as that of today's emperor.
How big is the bloodline gap between them? Even if the court doesn't recognize him in this area, Liu Bei has nothing to say.
Kong Rong frowned slightly when he heard this: "So, Wen Ruo has decided not to become an official?"
"I have no intention of becoming an official for the time being. I hope Wen Jugong will not blame you!" Xun Yu nodded calmly.
"That's all." Zhao Wen sighed and said: "What Wen Ruo said is not unreasonable. Since Wen Ruo doesn't want to, then we won't force others to make things difficult for us, so we say goodbye!"
After saying that, he picked up Kong Rong and left the Xun Mansion directly.
"Zirou, why are you stopping me?" After leaving Xun's house, Kong Rong finally couldn't help but ask. He was ready to ridicule Xun Yu just now.
"Don't quarrel. Wen Ruobian still stands by us, but if we really quarrel, it will not be a good thing for us! Brother Wenju, don't act out of emotion. This matter may not be the right time.
We still need to think about it in the long term!”
