At the end of Yang Su's dinner, the banquet attendees gradually left, and Yang Xuanting saw Sima Jiu wandering alone in the garden, so he led him to a study and waited.

"This is my father's partial study, and the virtuous brother is waiting here for the time being." Yang Xuanting said politely.

Although Yang Xuanting's face was calm, he was already a little surprised in his heart.

Sima Jiu, who was born in a poor family, was summoned by Yang Su, the first important minister of the dynasty, which shows that Yang Su attaches great importance to Sima Jiu.

Sima Jiu thanked him: "There is Brother Lao Yang." ”

"I still have something to do for my brother, so let's go first." After finishing speaking, Yang Xuanting withdrew from the study.

Subsequently, Sima Jiu briefly glanced at the study, the study was simple and neat, and the mural books were too numerous to mention.

Sima Jiu had the heart to look through Yang Su's collection of books, but after thinking about it, he didn't do anything in the end, just sat upright and waited for Yang Su.

It's really inappropriate to look at other people's stuff at random.

Besides, God knows if anyone is watching in the dark.

It wasn't until two o'clock that Yang Su paced to the side study.

Just now, the last group of officials Yang Su met with were all officials who lacked real power in the six or so ministries of the empire.

In the political structure of the empire, Shangshu Province has the most power, and the six departments under it are the formulators of the imperial government.

Although he cannot directly appoint and dismiss the six departments and squires, the real power of the departments and departments has been replaced by him.

Yang Su's official residence is the left servant of Shangshu, leading the government affairs of Shangshu Province, and his younger brother Yang Yueguan is living in the internal history of the Ling, leading the affairs of the internal history of the province, and his clan personnel also occupy many important positions in the empire.

At this time, the power of the Yang family can be said to have reached a peak.

Of course, all this is not easy to come by, and Yang Guang will not hand over all the military and political power to Yang Su.

While gaining power, the Yang Su family is gradually breaking away from the military system.

"Xiaosheng Sima Jiu, I have seen Yue Guogong." When Sima Jiu heard the news, he stepped forward and bowed down.

At this time, he intended to enter the Yue State Mansion as Yang Su's staff, so naturally, it was inconvenient for him to be called an official or subordinate.

"Hahahaha! Sima Jiu, Sima Jiu, every time the old man sees you, you will surprise the old man. Yang Su was dressed in plain clothes, looked at Sima Jiu and laughed.

"Just now, Xuan Ting told the old man that one of your freewheeling poems has made the musician Gongsun Lingyin admire, and may even affect the national accordinist Zhao Yeli. Hahahaha! It's really terrifying. ”

"Zhao Yeli is a master of the Lejia family, and he is deeply respected by the first emperor and the new emperor, and the old man has to be polite to him. Since you have a relationship with Lejia, you have time to walk around more, and there is no harm in all kinds of benefits. ”

Sima Jiu's heart moved, Yang Su thought so much about himself, it seemed that he really regarded himself as a descendant.

Sima Jiu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you Yue Guogong for your advice, Xiaosheng has been taught." ”

Yang Su saw that Sima Jiu was very polite, so he stretched out his hand to straighten Sima Jiu and instructed the servant to serve tea.

Although Yang Su has taken off his military uniform and is no longer in the army, the military power on his body has also been replaced by the elegance of the scribe, but in the face of Yang Su, Sima Jiu still feels a fierce momentum.

"Gongsun Lingyin, it doesn't matter what you do with her, it's just that don't provoke her senior sister Qianchengxue. Listening to Xuan Ting, the crazy girl of the Dugu family favors you, and your relationship with the doctor Nalan Lingyun is also unusual. ”

"Okay, Pianpian young man, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, he attracted all kinds of heroines." Yang Su laughed again.

Sima Jiu wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Yang Su's kind face, he could only acquiesce in a shy manner.

"It's also a good thing that the teenager is amorous. Only those who are amorous can be ruthless, and they have passed through thousands of flowers, and the leaves do not stick to their bodies. The same is true of the old man when he is young. ”

Yang Su raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, with a look of remembrance in his eyes.

Sima Jiu saw that Yang Su was so attentive to him, but he became vigilant in his heart.

After all, sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much.

Sure enough, Yang Su changed his words and mentioned Sima Jiu's entry into the office.

"Do you want to enter the mansion as an old man's subordinate?"

Seeing Yang Su mentioning business, Sima Jiu hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Xiao Sheng is willing to give advice to the Duke of Yue Guo and take precautions." ”

Yang Sudao: "Han Gaozu was born a scoundrel, and he had Xiao He and Chen Ping to plan and plan, calm the troubled times, set up Kyushu, and establish the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. ”

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world's scholars helped the world, and the Yingchuan scholars Xun Yu and Guo Jia helped the King of Wei to pacify the north and lay a unified overall situation.

"In the same period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Benchu's command of Xu You, Feng Ji and other Nanyang lineages, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other Hebei lineages, competed with each other, ignoring the interests of the head of the family, and in the end, the Yuan family's good foundation was ruined, and this is a medium staff."

Sima Jiu heard Yang Su say that the person who caused the family business to be ruined was a middle-class staff, and he couldn't help but want to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it in the end.

Yang Su seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "The old man knows what you want to say. The strategists under Yuan Benchu were by no means mediocre, but Yuan Benchu did not listen to people, and finally perished, and the responsibility of the staff was only two or three out of ten, so he could be regarded as a middle staff. ”

"There are also subordinates who only know how to flatter and are completely obedient to the head of the house, and this is a low-class staff. Such subordinates abound, and the words are endless. ”

"The countryman belongs to the king, so the old man naturally doesn't talk about it, I don't know what kind of staff do you think you can do?" Yang Su picked up the teacup, took a sip, and turned his head to look at Sima Jiu.

Sima Jiu didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xiaosheng was born in the countryside, and I don't dare to compare myself with Xun Yu and Guo Jia. The corpse of the inferior staff is vegetarian, if Xiaosheng is like this, wouldn't he be worthy of appreciating the Yue Guogong. ”

"The little student is shallow in learning, and he has the courage to try to be more abundant and frustrated. Yue Guogong is wise and far above Yuan Benchu, knows people and is good at his duties, and will definitely know Mingjian. As he spoke, Sima Jiu adjusted his internal breath and squeezed out a few beads of sweat.

Nowadays, he is becoming more and more comfortable with the internal breath of the Taoist and medical doctors in the body, and this kind of thing is naturally easy to do.

"Haha! Don't panic, the old man likes honest people very much. Yang Su saw that Sima Jiu was frightened, and his heart was happy, which was the meaning of the question.

If a strategist who is less than twenty years old, if he has the talent of heaven and does not fear the lord, who can say that he will become a threat to the lord in the future? Or is it an arm?

"You have solved the vampire demon case, you have done things properly, the old man has a good eye, do you have the position you are interested in?"

Sima Jiu took the silk scarf handed over by Yang Sucha's servant and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"It's all cultivated by the Lord." Sima Jiu changed his title and said respectfully.

"Sima Jiu, what sect do you think the old man comes from?" Yang Su changed his words and turned the topic to himself.

"When the lord goes out, he conquers the world, is invincible, and has the style of a soldier. Entering the government affairs and helping the first emperor to create a prosperous era of the emperor, it is quite a Legalist and Confucian virtue. Sima Jiu really couldn't see through it. ”

"Haha! Legalism, Confucianism, soldiers? The old man has no door and no faction, everything is only for the prosperity of the empire. The old man devoted himself to Confucianism in his early years, and later disagreed with the Confucian great Confucianism, and many of the Confucianists were famous and famous. ”

The smile on Yang Su's face suddenly retracted, looking solemn and faintly fierce.

"Nowadays, the selection of talents in the world is all in the gate valve and the rank, and His Majesty the Emperor has already intended to create an unprecedented method of selecting and appointing officials.

The new law has not yet been implemented, but the old man is particularly in favor of the new law. Everyone in the world says that I am Yang Sumen from a gate valve, and everything is based on the interests of the family. As everyone knows, what the old man did was for the great cause of the empire. Yang Su's face was proud, and he looked at the roof with disdain.

"The new law that Your Majesty and the lord have devised will surely be fruitful for a thousand years." Sima Jiu knew what Yang Su's method of selecting talents and appointing officials was.

If he can bring about this, he will be remembered for eternity.
