Liu Ba and the Son of Heaven had a very pleasant conversation, but there was nothing to say, he replaced the previous candidate, Zhuge Jin, and successfully became the position of Jiuqing, and also became the youngest Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty, or it should be said, Shiqing.

Liu Ba is indeed very happy, sitting on this position, Jimin Mansion officially became Jimin Terrace, and he is also ready to show his skills, this person is different from others, after holding an official position, the first place to go is not Jimin Terrace, but the East Palace, Liu Ba rushed to the East Palace, was stopped by Cao Pi, he was not angry, smiled and explained his identity, Cao Pi hurriedly told the prince, Liu Ba was waiting at the door, and Liu Mastiff was talking with Zhuge Liang in the palace.

"Uncle, why did this newly promoted Jiuqing come to me? I don't know him, and I don't have any friendship..."The prince asked with some doubts, Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this person is recommended by Cai Gong, even if he doesn't come to visit, he is also branded with His Highness, this time he came to His Highness, just to sit on this point, he is young, sitting on this position, there must be someone who is not convinced, he wants His Highness's reputation to shock others." ”

"So, should I be courteous?"

"Your Highness, you can be summoned by Your Majesty, you can talk very happily, and you will be a great sage directly with Jiuqing, Your Highness should naturally be wooed... What's more, this person is His Royal Highness's lineage, and Duke Cai is His Royal Highness's grandfather..."Zhuge Liang said with a smile, Liu Mastiff nodded, although he knew in his heart how to do it, but he would still ask how to behave, which was also what he learned from his father, as a monarch, you must be appropriately ignorant, you can't know everything, otherwise, how should your subordinates be reused?

Liu Ba was waiting at the palace gate, when he saw a man leading many officials out of the palace and walking towards him.

Liu Ba looked at this person, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down, Liu Mastiff laughed, helped him up, and said, "How dare the kid let his uncle visit first?" My father told me, I heard that my uncle is also in the line of filial piety, and my uncle is also, the boy failed to visit, but let his uncle come, it really shouldn't be! Liu Mastiff said so politely that Liu Ba didn't know how to speak.

Before seeing the Son of Heaven and His Highness, he never imagined that he would be treated so favorably.

Liu Mastiff introduced the people of the East Palace to him, although only Zhuge Liang, Cao Pi, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shang were still there, and the rest were sent to transport materials to Xing Gong, Xing Gong had previously played to Yuan Shao due to lack of money, and after the Son of Heaven agreed, he went directly to the East Palace's subordinate officials.

Xing Gong has been in charge of Xiping for 20 years from the first year of Jianning, whether it is administration, locality, Caoyun, Chidao, Nongsang, and criminal law, he has been in charge, not these young people who have just come out of Taixue and the library can compare, of course, the ministers of the East Palace are still smart, and over time, they may not be able to surpass Xing Gong, but for now, in front of Xing Gong, they are still so ignorant.

Among the last two ministers left by Jianning, the most all-powerful one.

Everyone talked with Liu Ba, then returned to the palace, and talked, in front of the prince, Liu Ba did not show his arrogance, very respectful, and talked for a long time, Liu Ba said: "Your Highness, Jimintai is now under the jurisdiction of the minister, but within Jimintai, the officials are still insufficient, and the minister wants to find a group of students to help, it is best to obtain it from the two universities in Luoyang, I don't know if His Royal Highness may help the minister?" ”

"Hahaha, this matter is easy to hear."

"I'll ask Zhong Mou to accompany you to Taixue later, Zhong Mou was born in Taixue, what the student is, he knows..."

"Thank you, Your Highness!!"

Liu Ba was obviously very happy, but Yuan Shao was not so happy.

After Liu Ba left, Yuan Shao was called to the Houde Palace, Liu Ba's proposals, indeed made the Son of Heaven moved, this money, he felt that he should still listen to Sikong's advice, Yuan Shao came out of the Tingwei prison, and before he had time to rest for a few days, he rushed to the palace, Han Men personally took him to the Houde Palace, and after sitting down, the Son of Heaven did not talk nonsense, and directly talked about Liu Ba's proposal.

Yuan Shao heard this, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is dull, but he has also served as the chief for a long time, if you make more money and the price rises, then the money is not worth it, if the rise is too high, the people's savings for decades, won't they all have to be invalidated?" Yuan Shao asked, and the Son of Heaven said with a smile: "In this regard, Liu Jun also said, he said that the copper coin itself is valuable, and it will not be depreciated too low, and the reasonable regulation of the temple can be used reasonably..."

Yuan Shao had a headache, to be honest, he didn't really understand Liu Ba's proposals.

However, if the Son of Heaven wants to carry it out, what can he do?

"Yuan Gong, even if you issue coins, just give orders to do it, but the price of the world still needs you to send someone to investigate, in addition, there is also this public sale system, you also need to find out the price and the like, and then make a decision...", the Son of Heaven said, and suddenly noticed the silver ash in Yuan Shao's hair room, Yuan Shao is still very handsome and tall, sitting tall in front of the Son of Heaven, meticulous, but his face is already covered with traces left by the years.

Only then did the Son of Heaven realize that sitting in front of him was an old man who was over half a hundred years old, and he was already seven out of fifty.

The Son of Heaven was a little hesitant, coughed, and said: "Duke Yuan, these things are extremely busy, you may have to visit around, you can't rest, why don't you recommend someone and do it for you, you are in the temple, I can also feel at ease, if you are not in Luoyang, I don't know these things...", the Son of Heaven said, Yuan Shao slowly raised his head, looked at the prince in front of him, and listened to the Son of Heaven, he asked:

"Your Majesty, but you think that the minister is old and useless??"

"Huh? How so? Yuan Gong fought in the temple a few days ago, and I don't think ordinary young people are necessarily Gong's opponents! The Son of Heaven said with a smile, Yuan Shao smiled lightly, looking at the Son of Heaven, the original look of distress, but suddenly became so resolute, Yuan Shao said: "Your Majesty, then let me do it, the minister will not live up to His Majesty's high expectations, these three strategies, the minister will definitely do it!" ”

"This...."The Son of Heaven still hesitated.

"Your Majesty...", Yuan Shao looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, and said solemnly: "The minister knows, the minister is commonplace, it is not as good as the public who hears people, nor is it as good as the father, or the Duke of Lu... The courage is not as good as the road, and the strategy is not as good as Meng De, but the minister has been an official for 34 years and has never retreated!! The ancestors of the ministers were good, the first was the county order, since him, my Yuan family is the king of the country, as for the ancestor Zhaogong, it has been the position of the three princes of the fifth generation, and there has never been a treacherous, cowardly, stupid person!! ”

"The minister is stupid, not as good as the ancestors, but he doesn't dare to fall into the power of the ancestors, dare to ask His Majesty to make me do it, Yuan Shao, the minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!!"

The Son of Heaven looked at him, nodded, and said, "There is labor." ”

After Yuan Shao walked out of the temple, he immediately went to Jimintai, and learned that Liu Ba was not there, he ordered everyone in the mansion to inform Liu Ba that Liu Ba wanted Liu Ba to go to Sikong Mansion to meet him, and then left.

Liu Ba looked at Yuan Shao with some surprise, and asked rhetorically: "Yuan Gong, the minister just proposed three strategies, and the specific implementation should be carried out by Shang Shutai, why do you ask me?" ”

"If you propose to issue coins, you should write out how much should be issued, how to give it to the people, unify the price, how much price should be written, and the public sale system should write out the temple when it is sold, and the profit should be geometric!!" Yuan Shao said solemnly, Liu Ba was a little confused, he proposed these three strategies are true, but this young man, not long after coming to Luoyang Capital, has not personally visited various places, how to know how to implement it???

He didn't want to admit that he didn't know very well, so he said unhappily: "It's not commonplace for a minister to serve as a Jimin order!" ”

"You still know that you're not commonplace, do you?? Then you have a people-saving order, what kind of strategy do you come up with to deceive our Sikong Mansion?! Yuan Shao shouted irritably, Liu Ba was about to open his mouth to defend himself, Yuan Shao stood up, flew up a leg, and kicked the young man to the ground, Liu Ba was young, and he was angry in his heart, so he was about to get up and fight with him, but he vaguely saw two people standing in the distance, holding a sword, eyeing each other, one was Yuan Xi, and the other was Yuan Shang.

Liu Ba still didn't dare to fight back.

When Liu Ba was knocked out of Sikong Mansion, Liu Ba gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and left here.

And Yuan Shang stood by Yuan Shao's side with some worry, and asked: "Father, this guy is deeply loved by His Majesty and the Crown Prince, Father treats him like this, won't he get any trouble?" Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven will not punish me for being a kid... You can rest assured. ”

"However, I didn't expect that he didn't know how to do it." Yuan Shang said.

"I already knew, if he knew how to do it, he would have told the Son of Heaven a long time ago, this guy is still too young, he only knows the strategy, and he doesn't know how to do it."

"Then why did Father call him?"

"Out of anger, these days, everyone has to meddle in the affairs of our company's empty mansion, take him under the knife, and make others sober up.... This guy is still young, but if you wait for more than ten years, my son will definitely be his. Yuan Shao said seriously.

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shang was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and he asked, "Father, what should I do then?" One day, if he is the chief and my father is not there, how will I survive?? Yuan Shao grinned and looked at him, "It's very simple, work hard, climb to a better position than him, such as Situ, you don't have to be afraid of him..."

"Situ??" Yuan Shang was a little stunned.

"There are Kong Ming, Zhong Da, these people.... Can I do that? ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"Are you missing a leg than them, or are you missing a hand??"

"Less brains...."Yuan Shang said, raising his head a little fearfully.

At that moment, all he saw was a flying shoe.
