As soon as Liu Xie heard the potter narrate Liu Bei's situation, he was really a little unhappy in his heart.

Although he doesn't know exactly what is going on with this Laoshizi Plains at the moment, listening to the meaning of the pottery merchant's words, this Liu Bei seems to be also a relative of the Han family, and he has the side branch blood of his old Liu family.

A person with the blood of the side branch of the Liu family actually helped Gongsun Zhan, the thief, kill Liu Yu, who is also a member of the Han family, what is this?

Behave like a brute!

"Why did I reward him?" Liu Xie's face showed obvious displeasure.

And what the potter wants, is this unhappy effect.

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan are both disciples of Lu Shangshu, and they are Gongsun Zan's right-hand men, and the matter of Da Sima must be indispensable for this person to mediate in it, if they are rewarded together, it can not only appease Gongsun Zhan's heart, but also increase the bargaining chips for Gongsun Zhan, and try to shorten the distance between him and Yuan Shao."

The potter's words were ostensibly to help Liu Bei become an official, but in fact, he was cutting off his future.

What is the political capital that Liu Bei relies on?

The identity and fame of a Han clansman.

But if even the emperor of the Han family annoys you, this identity and fame are basically equivalent to waste.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the potter's words, Liu Xie's face suddenly darkened a little.

"Hehe, it's very good, they are both clan relatives, but they are so forced to kill their relatives! In the end, I still want to give him an official? Very good! It's so tight! This Liu Bei, I remember him, Tao Aiqing, do you know which branch of the Han clan this Liu Bei is? ”

The pottery merchant thought about it carefully and said: "The minister vaguely remembers that Liu Bei seems to be the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after claiming to be King Jing of Zhongshan. ”

"Yes, yes! I remembered. ”

Liu Xie's face was a little unkind, and his eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something.

But no matter what Liu Xie was thinking about, the potter knew that his goal had been achieved, and there was no need to continue to discuss this matter with Liu Xie.

If you talk too much, it is easy to expose the original meaning.

A thirteen-year-old child, who has been oppressed since he was a child, will not be too generous after all.

Suddenly, he saw Liu Xie's face soften, and he looked at the pottery merchant kindly, and said: "Tao Aiqing is really loyal to me, and the name of the gentleman in the world is true...... After such a busy circle, all the princes have their titles, but Tao Qing has not even gotten a decent official position, I really can't bear it. ”

The pottery merchant respectfully bowed his hand to Liu Xieyi and said: "How dare the minister, the minister is just doing his best for His Majesty and being loyal to the court, and the size of the official position is not important to the minister." ”

Liu Xie sighed with emotion: "Aiqing, I have lived for thirteen years, and I have never seen such a sincere person as you. ”

The potter was a little embarrassed to hear it.

"Even beasts like Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, I have to give them official positions as appeasement, but if I can't reward a minister like Aiqing, then this emperor of mine will be too much of a failure."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie said to Tao Shang: "Aiqing, Da Sima has just passed away, if not, how about I canonize Da Sima's position to you?" ”

The potter pondered for a moment and shook his head.

In this kind of situation, there is no need for me to sit in an official like Da Sima, who climbs high and dies quickly, purely to make people conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, forget it, the minister is young and knowledgeable, I'm afraid he can't afford such a high-level military position...... If Your Majesty is interested, then you might as well make a vassal a civil servant, how about it? ”

"Clerical?"

Liu Xie rubbed his chin with his hand, frowned and died for a long time, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and his eyes were full of light, and he had an idea.

"Tao Aiqing, you saved me from fire and water this time, helped me establish a new dynasty in Fan County, and you are not greedy for merit, you can be described as a model in the world, with your style and character, you are my teacher, why not?"

Speaking of this, I saw Liu Xie's confirmation: "Tao Aiqing, I have named you as the prince of the dynasty, the general of Zhendong, the leader of Yangzhou, and the secretary of Shangshu!" From now on, you will be my teacher, and please ask the master to spur me more...... Mrs. Tao! ”

When the potter heard this, his eyelids couldn't help twitching.

One will Tao Taiping, one will Tao Taifu...... It seems that I have to do it with the Taizi generation in my life.

I just hope that I don't want to be a Empress Dowager Tao in the future, Mrs. Tao or something.

……

"Record Shang Shushi?"

Guo Jia and Chen Deng both showed joyful expressions on their faces after hearing about the potter's official position.

"The Son of Heaven is young, and he is ...... to the prince of the palace Oh, no, it's a moment of gratitude to Taifu, so I let Taifu record Shangshu, but according to his subordinates, these four short words are much more expensive than this Taifu and Yangzhou Mu! ”

The potter didn't understand, just looked at them blankly.

Guo Jia looked at his dilated eyes, very helpless, couldn't help but sigh, and opened his mouth to explain for him:

"When Emperor Xiaowu, in order to cut the power of the prime minister, and set up the inner dynasty, appointed the Shaofu Shangshu to deal with the world's chapters, and the Shangshu Ling and the imperial history of the Cheng, the Si Li school captain number for the three solitary sitting, although the official rank is not the highest, but the deal is the head of the inner dynasty, now His Majesty's court is equivalent to nothingness, no governance, your so-called record of Shang Shu, in name but virtual, but even if it is empty, but you are also in charge of the world's decrees out of the head, to say a word, in the future, the court officials, the selection of officials, filial piety assessment, the appointment of frontier officials, if in accordance with the regulations, I'm afraid I have to get your approval. ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Of course, the princes of the world will not pay attention to Taifu, but at least we will select officials within our own borders, recommend the selection and appointment of high-ranking officials, even if it is a recall, it will be justified in the future." ”

The potter was stunned when he heard this.

However, he was only happy for a moment, and then shrugged his shoulders casually: "No matter what, this is just a gimmick, and in the end, it has to be strength." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Gongsun Zhan's matter has been completed, next, do you have to ask Tian Yu if Zhao Yun is here?" ”

Chen Deng had seen Zhao Yun's ability, and said very excitedly: "Zhao Yun is a rare general, he must get it, and the Taifu can't let him leave Xuzhou." ”

The pottery merchant smiled when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to Tian Yu, this matter, naturally they Youzhou people will do it themselves, and we have nothing to do, but Zhao Yun, I must do it." ”

……

A few days later, the potter began to settle the money with Ma Xun, the eunuch of the Son of Heaven.

The relationship between Ma Xun and the potter is getting better and better, and having him supervise the potter's accounts has exactly the same effect as sending a blind old dog.

Of course, to a certain extent, the potter will naturally not treat this Zhongchang waiter badly.

After all, there are many places where I need to use this eunuch in the future.

It is not so easy to deliver money, especially such a large sum of money.

Because not only the princes themselves buy officials, but also their close ministers purchase county guards, county orders and other positions, and there are also high-level civil servants, in short, there are all kinds of things.

It took several days to clear the accounts.

After finishing his accounts, the potter finally met the person he wanted to see the most.

Zhao Yun personally came to meet the potter.

When he saw Zhao Yun, the potter was surprised to find that the little round face that was a little white and chubby that had been raised by himself had changed back to a thin face at this moment.

And obviously, Zhao Yun's face was even a little haggard.
