Returned to the Houde Palace, Liu Xi and Guo Jia sat facing each other, Guo Jia still frowned, thinking about the deeper intentions of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi smiled, let Qi Yue take some tea, the two drank the tea, and continued to chat, talking about it, naturally it was also a matter of restructuring, Guo Jia took a sip of tea, and then asked: "If what I expected is not bad, it must be Kong Ming playing in the temple?" ”

Liu Xi nodded, and asked with a smile, "Isn't this what Guo Jun told Xun Jun?" ”

Guo Jia chuckled, "Wen Ruo really told Your Majesty the truth. ”

"Xun Jun spent several months to complete the formulation of the new system, and now the new system can replace the current temple system, however, for the candidate, I still thought for a long time, according to Guo Jun's idea, Shang Shutai, should be to command the overall situation, the status is even higher than the three dukes, there are officials under his command, there are taxes, and military... I thought it was hard to find such a person..."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Indeed, it is not easy to sit in this position, in the future, Shang Shuling's status may continue to decrease, but at present, His Majesty wants to make drastic innovations, and Shang Shuling must have an all-rounder..."

"I happen to have an all-rounder here."

"That's right, there is only such an all-rounder in the entire Han world."

Guo Jia said seriously, Liu Xi was stunned, when did this guy become so arrogant?

Liu Xi took another sip of tea, and then asked, "So, did Guo Jun promise me to do this Shangshu Order?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "How could the minister ever say this?" ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, "Then who are you talking about?" ”

"Xun Yu."

Liu Xi was silent for a moment before he said, "I think that Jun may be more suitable for this position. Guo Jia shook his head, his face suddenly became serious, the Son of Heaven had never seen Guo Jia like this, Guo Jia said seriously: "Chen is good and conspiracy, this is true... It is true that he has been honed for many years in Shangshutai, but if it is about all-rounders, it is none other than Wenruo. ”

"Wen Ruo is humble by nature, and the gentleman of the world is also, because of this, everyone does not know Wen Ruo's talent, I am his friend, but I know, Your Majesty, just say that the detailed compilation of this new system... If it is done by the minister, it will take a year, and if Situ Gong does it, it may take eight months, but this is because he will work tirelessly, day and night... Replace the rest of the people, or it will be difficult to complete it in a lifetime..."

"But Wen Ruo completed it in two months... From the officials' subordinates, to the subordinates, the standard configuration of officials, and the functions and powers, Your Majesty should not think that this is very simple, this is the redistribution of the power of the entire world... Dare to ask Your Majesty, in the world, who else can compare to Wen Ruo? ”

Liu Xi was a little surprised, looking at Guo Jia in front of him, he was stunned for a long time, and then asked: "I know Wen Ruo's talent, but I don't know that he hides so deeply?" ”

"He's not hiding, it's just that no one is digging it, and he's been deceived by his humble gentleman's appearance...", Guo Jia shook his head and said disdainfully: "Although he is not as good as agriculture, there are so many agricultural science champions to help him, and he shouldn't mess things up..."

"Hahaha... Good. Liu Xi nodded, already having a plan in his heart.

Guo Jia didn't want to wait here, speaking of which, in fact, this Houde Hall was no different from the Tingwei Dungeon.

After Guo Jia left, Liu Xi sat in the Houde Hall and thought for a long time, he originally intended to let Guo Jia take this position, however, it seems that Guo Jia did not have this idea, Xun Yu, of course, it is also possible, over the years, Guo Jia's performance really amazed him, and this gave rise to the idea of letting Guo Jia take the role, but, think about it seriously, indeed, the calm Xun Yu may be more suitable than Guo Jia.

So, Liu Xi hurriedly asked Qi Yue to invite Xun Yu over.

Xun Yu, who was resting in the mansion, heard that the Son of Heaven had summoned him, and hurried to the palace.

"Meet Your Majesty!" , Entering the Houde Palace, Xun Yu hurriedly saluted to the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi stood up with a smile, and hurriedly helped Xun Yu up, "Uncle Xun, how many times have I said it, in private, there is no need to be like this, my uncle is a close friend of Emperor Xiaoxian... I have always regarded it as an elder, come, sit...", without waiting for Xun Yu's shirk, Liu Xi let him sit directly in front of him.

Liu Xi also sat down, a little apologetic, "These days, my uncle is tired of work.."

"No, it's just some planned things, and the ministers are single-minded, which also saves a lot of energy from the ministers." , Xun Yu said, and hurriedly asked, "But where is the problem with the new system?" The Son of Heaven suddenly summoned him, which really made Xun Yu feel uneasy, could it be that there was something wrong with the new system? This is a major event related to the government of the temple, and there can be no slight difference.

The Son of Heaven shook his head and said: "The matter of the new system, everything is fine, Kong Ming is about to leave Luoyang, I called my uncle this time, there is something else for my uncle to work on...", hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no problem with the new system, he asked: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"It's about this Shang Shu Ling, I don't know, who is my uncle's heart?"

Xun Yu smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty has already chosen someone in his heart, otherwise, he would not have gone to great lengths to let him quit drinking..."

"Before I met him, I did have this thought... However, after meeting him, he recommended another person. ”

"Oh? Didn't he recommend Jia Wenhe? ”

"Jia Wenhe, in fact, can also take on this role..."

"No, the one he recommended is his uncle."

"Oh?" , Xun Yu was a little surprised, Guo Jia recommended himself? He pondered for a moment before asking, "Then what does Your Majesty think now?" ”

"Naturally, I want to worship my uncle for this Shang Shuling, and I hope that my uncle will not refuse... I know my uncle's talent, if my uncle doesn't help me, it will be difficult to choose someone in the temple who can be a scholar..", Liu Xi said sincerely, stood up, and bowed to Xun Yu, Xun Yu was taken aback by his behavior, and quickly stood up, not daring to bear this worship.

"I hope my uncle won't refuse!"

Liu Xi's attitude is very clear.

Xun Yu didn't hesitate, and sighed, "Your Majesty, get up, just obey." ”

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Liu Xi got up with a smile, looked at Xun Yu in front of him, grinned, and said, "With my uncle's help, I don't have to worry about it!" Xun Yu shook his head, the two sat down again, and Liu Xi said: "Within the new system, many officials are still deployed, and the appointment of the temple will be handed over to my uncle..."

"Okay."

"Your Majesty, the minister has some thoughts about the appointment of the ministers, the minister thinks...", Xun Yu was about to speak, but Liu Xi interrupted him directly, holding Xun Yu's hand, Liu Xi said seriously: "Uncle doesn't have to tell everything, you can deal with it yourself, I believe in uncle!" ”

Xun Yu's gaze at Liu Xi became more and more kind, and he didn't know what he remembered, he nodded again.

"Okay."

When Xun Yu left the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven directly informed everyone of the appointment of Xun Yu, and the news immediately spread, and the ministers were overjoyed, they were still worried about whether Guo Jia would continue to serve as Shang Shuling, and they heard that Xun Yu took this position, and everyone was also relieved, compared to Guo Jia, it was obvious that Xun Yu was closer to the ministers.

Because Xun Yu is a person, the minister of the court, there is no one who has a bad relationship with him, and everyone is also impressed by his noble morality and respects him very much.

After leaving the Houde Palace, Xun Yu first went to Lu Guozhang's mansion.

If you want to quickly stabilize the situation in the temple, you naturally need this national abbot, the position of Zhongshu Ling, Xun Yu decided to let Lu Bu take it, this position, there is no need to do anything practical, speaking of which, it is to preside over the negotiation of the ministers, integrate the suggestions of the ministers, and play the person of the Son of Heaven, the person who holds this position must have enough prestige, be able to deter everyone, and have enough qualifications.

Naturally, the country is the most suitable.

When Xun Yu arrived at the Zhijinwu Mansion, the door of the Zhijinwu Mansion was open, Xun Yu walked forward with some curiosity, and just walked forward, he saw two sturdy slaves, with a killing aura, probably from the military, the two saluted Xun Yu, and asked, "I don't know what the Duke commands?" ”

"I'm here to see the abbot, I don't know if the abbot is in the mansion?"

"The prince is in the house, I don't know why the distinguished guests came to visit?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Because of the order of the Son of Heaven, I came." ”

The servant was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I hope that the distinguished guest will not be blamed, this is all the order of the king... In these days, some people harassed around the mansion, even shot bows and arrows, carried letters, many threats and intimidations, and even cursed words, the prince was furious, so people opened the door of the mansion, let out the words, welcome the thief to visit, if there is a grudge with the king, you can come with a sword, and the country will never report to the official... Fight alone..."

Xun Yu nodded and asked, "Then someone is looking for it?" ”

The servant pointed to the courtyard wall in the distance, and Xun Yu looked up to see three heads hanging on the wall.

Xun Yu was speechless, and after waiting for a while, the servant came out and said, "The abbot said... Don't rush, send it back in a few days. ”

"Huh??"

"I'm tired of announcing again, it's Shangshu who ordered Xun Yu to ask to see!"

The slave was helpless, and hurriedly ran in again, and after a while, he came to Xun Yu again, and said: "The prince said that even if the Son of Heaven came in person, he would not return it to him..."

Xun Yu was helpless, and walked in directly, a few slaves couldn't stop him, they could only shout, Xun Yu didn't care about the surrounding slaves, and walked directly into the courtyard, when he walked to the backyard, he saw Lu Bu with a particularly gloomy face, Lu Bu held the eldest son of the emperor in his arms, looked at Xun Yu unhappily, and said: "In order to pick up the child, even you were sent out?" ”

"The lord misunderstood, I came here for political affairs, not for His Highness."

Lu Bu was holding the child, still vigilant, "For what?" ”

"For the national abbot to serve as the secretary of the order."
