Chapter 0986: The Sixth and Third Princes

The news of Zhuge Linggong's death has not passed, and the world has heard a shocking news again, the former servant of Jimin Mansion shot Yuan Xi actually served as Shangshu Ling, took over the will of Zhuge Linggong, and will command Zhufu, everyone was surprised, Yuan Xi?? Can he do it?? For him, everyone is deeply suspicious, and this can't be blamed on others, because Yuan Xi has never done anything amazing over the years.

There is no merit that impresses everyone, he has been busy with disaster relief in various places over the years, he is not widely connected in the temple, and his reputation is not obvious, but in the people, his reputation is very great, and it is only second to the level of Zhuge Linggong, over the years, in the process of disaster relief, he does not seek merit, only seeks no fault, and because he clearly recognizes his lack of ability, he will do his best to do everything, and take the lead, so the people respect him very much.

In several areas such as Liangzhou, there are even people who set up temples for him to worship.

Coming out of the court, Yuan Xi felt the alienation of the ministers around him, not that they were all hostile to him, but they couldn't treat themselves like Zhuge Linggong, his eyes were full of suspicion and distrust, he didn't have any friends in the temple before, and he was even more isolated at the moment, especially Zhuge Ke, who had just been promoted and became a servant of the Jimin Mansion.

This young man is very ambitious, and he has always regarded himself as the successor of Zhuge Linggong, and he also attaches great importance to the position of the servant of the official mansion, hoping to use this as a pedal, but Yuan Xi was promoted, and he suddenly replaced Yuan Xi as the servant of the Jimin Mansion, and he must have been unhappy in his heart, he walked to Yuan Xi's side, looked a little irritable, and blushed, Yuan Xi smiled at him, and said, "What is the matter with Zhuge Jun?" ”

"You can't compare to my uncle in your life!"

Zhuge Ke said coldly, staring at Yuan Xi with a pair of eyes, Yuan Xi was stunned, nodded, and said, "What you said is extremely true. It seemed that there was no anger on his face, Zhuge Ke snorted coldly, turned around and left, Yuan Xi saw him leave, and the ministers gradually walked away, Yuan Xi walked towards the Houde Palace, and after the ministers were arranged to the outer hall of the palace, the Houde Hall returned to the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Xi is going to meet the Son of Heaven, speaking of which, it should be the Son of Heaven to worship him, because the position of these three orders is the same as the three dukes, and such a minister needs to be worshiped by the Son of Heaven himself, this is the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Xi came to the door of the Houde Palace, but was stopped by a few yellow doors, of course, these yellow doors did not dare to be too rude, after all, this is the newly appointed Shang Shuling, that is, it is no longer loved by the Son of Heaven, that is also the three orders, not a few of them eunuchs can offend.

"Bothering a few people, can you tell me a word, I want to meet Your Majesty and discuss the next political affairs."

"Don't dare, don't dare...", a few yellow doors were a little frightened, and quickly avoided Yuan Xi's salute, and walked into the Houde Palace, Yuan Xi stood straight outside the hall, looking at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly lost his mind, and stood for a long time, I don't know how long it took before the yellow door walked out, the yellow door looked a little uneasy, he bowed to him, and said: "Back to Shangshu, the country... I was unwell and said that I would summon Shang Shuling another day. ”

Yuan Xi nodded, "In this case, then I will go back, and I hope to pass on a message for me, may Your Majesty recover as soon as possible and take care of your health!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and left here, Huangmen watched him leave, and sighed, he had never seen such an unpopular Shang Shuling, he still changed the country's language slightly, the country is simply disgusted with this person, the pain of Zhuge Linggong's death has not yet dissipated, and there is no one to take his place, Liu Qu's mood is naturally very bad.

Today, he appointed and dismissed Yuan Xi, and he may not be without the element of anger, seeing that Yuan Xi was so unwilling to serve as the Shangshu Order, he was furious, so he let him do this Shangshu Order.

Walking out of the palace, Yuan Xi was stunned, it turned out that there was a fat man standing in the distance, waiting, seeing Yuan Xi come out, Liu Yi walked over, bowed his hand, and said, "Meet Yuan Shangshu!" Yuan Xi was helpless, "Are you waiting for me here?" I've kept you waiting..."

"It's just half an hour, the Son of Heaven also values you, and he has kept you for so long." , Liu Yi said, obviously, he didn't know about the situation in the palace.

"I have never met Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well, I waited for a while, and then came out."

Hearing this, Liu Yi's face changed greatly, and he said with some displeasure: "You are a Shang Shuling, how can Your Majesty be so rude to you, no!" I want to enter the palace! Liu Yi said, and walked towards the palace, Yuan Xi hurriedly blocked in front of him, "Don't be like this, you are the elder of Your Majesty, and you shouldn't be like this, don't hurt the peace for me... Forget it, forget it..."

Liu Yi was still very angry, but Yuan Xi was pulling him to death, he didn't go to Liu Qu, and pulled Yuan Xi into the carriage, Liu Yi was still a little irritable, he said: "I see, this Shangshu order is not a good thing for you at all, you don't have enough prestige, except for me, you don't have any friends, even Your Majesty doesn't like it, I see, I don't know how many people are waiting to see your jokes..."

"Pang Linggong too, I think he just wants to lift you to this position and take the opportunity to weaken Shang Shutai's power!"

Yuan Xi didn't say a word, sat in the carriage silently, and lowered his head.

"What are you going to do next? If you want to give up this position, I can help you, of course, if you want to continue to do it, I will help you find a few assistants..."

"The order of the Son of Heaven, I dare not resign, as for the assistant, there is no need, can you send me to Shangshutai?" , Yuan Xi asked.

Liu Yi was angry, "Where is the arrogant Yuan Xianyi when he was a child??" Why are you so cowardly and have no claim now?! ”

"If I were like Liu Linggong, I also had a father who could be a shelter, a kind mother, and a brother who supported each other, and I would not be like this." , Yuan Xi said calmly, saluted Liu Yi, and was about to get out of the car, Liu Yi's face was blushing, he didn't know what to say, and hurriedly grabbed him, "It's me who is wrong, don't blame, I don't have to hide my mouth, in fact, I'm not..."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"Xianyi, how about making a bet with me?"

"Okay."

"If you can sit in the position of Shangshutai for ten years, I will play the drums and music for you!!"

"What if I can't?"

Liu Yi thought for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Then you will be an enlightenment teacher for my grandson!" ”

"It's a deal."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Returned to Shangshutai, the officials in Shangshutai had already heard about today's events, after seeing Yuan Xi get off the carriage, they hurriedly came out to greet them, Yuan Xi came down to meet them one by one, these people are all capable ministers under the command of Zhuge Linggong, the number is not much, only thirteen people, Yuan Xi is also very polite to them, these officials are finally relieved, they are afraid that the new Shangshu Ling will remove the influence of Zhuge Linggong, drive them out.

Although Zhuge Linggong is gone, the Zhuge family still exists, and the relationship between these officials and Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Ke is also very close.

After the death of Zhuge Linggong, his son and nephew were greatly rewarded, and now their status in the temple has increased rapidly, and they have become the most prominent existence in the younger generation.

Yuan Xi sat on the top seat, and the rest of the officials sat on both sides of him, these officials looked at him with strange eyes, after all, this position originally only belonged to Zhuge Linggong, and for Yuan Xi, he was actually uneasy when he sat down, after all, he used to sit on both sides, and after a moment of silence, Yuan Xi asked them about the things in Shangshutai, and the officials answered one by one.

Shang Shutai is mainly responsible for supervising the implementation of the provinces, in a strict sense, is in command of the provinces, to reasonably distribute the provinces, to manage their cooperation, in case there is a conflict between them, in addition to to give help to the provinces, Yuan Xi picked up the pen and ink, very carefully wrote down their words, which made the officials very uncomfortable, after more than an hour, Yuan Xi finally recorded everything.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said: "I have already recorded these things, the decree originally implemented by Zhuge Linggong, I think it is very appropriate, there is no need to improve it, just follow the rules that the original Linggong is still in, continue to operate, what Linggong ordered before, Zhugong continue to do it, I won't say more...", Yuan Xi said this, everyone was happy.

They were also worried that Yuan Xi would mess up after taking office, and change many of Zhuge Linggong's policies, but fortunately, this person still has self-knowledge and didn't mess around, since it was according to the original rules, it would be easy to do, everyone bowed to him, and they were busy, Yuan Xi also entered Zhuge Linggong's study, and began to be busy with the rest of the things set by Zhuge Linggong.

The first is the matter of the canal, this matter Zhuge Linggong has been in operation for nearly four years, and it has not been completed, and now it is still being excavated and built, Yuan Xi just looked at the huge water conservancy map in the study, and his head couldn't help but hurt, all the dense maps on the map are the future water conservancy plan, Yuan Xi was stunned when he saw all kinds of picture marks, but fortunately, he already knew in his heart that he did not have the talent of Zhuge Linggong, and there was no sense of loss.

He took out a book on water conservancy and canal planning from the bookshelf, compared it with the signs on the map, and began to study it seriously.

.....

The ministers of the court originally thought that Yuan Xi would serve as Shang Shuling, which must be a major event that would change the situation in the temple, but he did not expect that Yuan Xi had been in the study for a long time, and the entire temple was exceptionally quiet, and Yuan Xi treated others very gently.

In the end, it was just an ordinary canal excavation document, with no bright spots.
