After a few days of guest tour guides, Lv Peng threw the entire tour team to other professionals, and asked them to take those demoted officials and continue to browse around Youzhou, feel the richness of Youzhou, feel the strength of Youzhou, and feel the advanced of Youzhou.
Lu Peng began to summarize the work of this period of time during this period of time, and prepared to convene a conference of the main civil and military generals of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, and even the grassland after the year.
"Lord, doing this will inevitably make those who still have different intentions want to move, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to connect with each other, which is not good for us." Xu Jie hid in a dark corner behind Lu Peng and whispered his worries to Lu Peng.
Lu Peng looked at the mountain of paperwork in front of him with the lights on, and listened absentmindedly, but he was noncommittal.
"Just now, Wu Qiang, the prime minister of Zhao Guo, quietly went to the inn where Gao Gan lived, after walking around the giant deer Zhao Xin, his heart was suspicious." Xu Jie continued unrelentingly.
Now thousands of officials from all over the country are gathered in Youzhou, although on the surface, Youzhou treats them equally, does not monitor them, does not restrict them, and treats them the same as the original officials of the local Lu Peng, but Xu Jie is not at ease, and uses all the brocade guards inside and outside Youzhou City, closely monitoring every demote, and it can be said that his feet are busy and do not touch the ground.
When Lu Peng heard Xu Jie's endless words, he had to put down the mountains of paperwork submitted by the cabinet during this period of time, stretched his waist, and said to Xu Jie in the dark: "I find that your psychology is getting darker and darker, and your actions are getting more and more weird, why do you always avoid the sun and like dark corners?" This is a disease, a mental illness, this is not good, this has to be treated. β
Then he turned around and said to Xu Jie with a concerned face: "I'll start thinking about it now, do I have to give you a big vacation, so that you can have a good rest, well-greet Cao Cao that day, I built that palace in Jieshi, I don't have the time to go there, and now it is estimated that it is also deserted, otherwise, you will hand over the Jinyi guard work in your hand to the deputy tomorrow, take your wife and children, by the way, simply bring the wife and children of the fourth brother, as well as my Wan'er Wenji, daughter boy, let's go on vacation together, Now this Youzhou is dry and cold, it is next to the sea, and it is wetter than here, and then we will spend the New Year there. β
It's so busy, a few people are so busy that they almost forget the appearance of their children's little faces, and forget what it feels like to have a big bed at home that makes people feel infinitely warm.
It's time to get together with the family, or everyone will be sick people.
Xu Jie shook his head silently: "I'm not psychologically dark now, but this profession allows me to try to show my head in front of people as little as possible, hide aside, and be more able to observe and figure out people's hearts, after such a long time, I began to like this profession more and more, sometimes figuring out a person's human heart is a very interesting thing, figuring out the right one, it is very fulfilling, if I figure it out wrong, it can stimulate my interest in continuing to figure it out." β
Lu Peng sighed, poured a cup of tea himself, and handed it to Xu Jie, who was shrinking in the dark corner: "If it weren't for the fact that this position is too important, I really can't trust other people, I should have asked you to evacuate this position, I really don't want you to become dark." β
This is Lu Peng's true words.
Lu Peng, when he first crossed over to this world, he was extremely lonely and hesitant in his heart, and he was completely incompatible with this world.
Later, he deliberately accepted Zhang Shiyuan and Su Shuang, and bowed to them, in fact, with a serious utilitarian heart, but later, his utilitarian heart was warmed and touched by the sincerity of the two elder brothers, so that he had the current kind of intimacy, including Zhao Yun.
But when you think about it, Xu Jie is different from his two brothers and a brother.
Xu Jie and himself, when they were in danger, struggled together in the chaos of war, and worked hard together in the water and fire, Lu Peng had to admit that at this point, the relationship between himself and Xu Jie was actually deeper than his two elder brothers and fourth brother Zhao Yun.
Therefore, there are many important things, and he is more willing to discuss with Xu Jie, and he is more willing to entrust this matter to Xu Jie.
Out of this increasingly deep feeling, now Lu Peng has begun to regret handing over this shady force to Xu Jie, which is almost harming him.
As if sensing Lu Peng's thoughts, Xu Jie was silent, gently took a sip of the tea handed over by Lu Peng, then sniffed, and said indifferently: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to feel guilty, there are always people who have to do some things, but you are doing what you should do, I am doing what I should do, let's work together to complete the ideal in our hearts, for this, I have no complaints and regrets." β
Then seeing that Lu Peng was going to continue, Xu Jie diverted the topic and continued to talk about the current situation: "The officials from all over the country who were originally Yuan Shao, when we received them, they surrendered to me one after another, and in order to stabilize these two regions, we tried our best to tolerate their original evil deeds and continue to reuse them, but no matter what, we are new things, incompatible with what they originally implemented, and contradict each other, so it is inevitable that many people will be resentful. Now I've got it all on file. β
Lu Peng nodded: "As far as the old things and the new things are born, there is a nature of contradicting each other and repelling each other, which is also inevitable, throughout the thousands of years, whether it is Shang Ying or Wu Qi, or even Yuan Ang or Wang Mang, the establishment of each new system will touch the interests of many people, which is irreconcilable, then it depends on whether the new system and things occupy a strong position, or the old power cannot be broken." The current situation is that I am not prepared to implement the drastic methods of Shang Ying, Wu Qi and even Wang Mang, causing direct conflict, and I will slowly let those stubborn forces accept us or withdraw from the stage of history in mutual compromise. β
"My lord still sticks to your argument of boiling frogs in warm water?" Xu Jie asked with a smile, but said something else that made Lu Peng cry and laugh: "I tried, put a frog in a pot of cold water, and then slowly make a fire underneath, guess what?" β
Lu Peng smiled: "You really have leisure, do you really do it?" β
Xu Jie replied very seriously and solemnly: "Of course I did, this is my following the teachings of the lord, is practice the only criterion for testing the truth, if I don't practice it myself, how can I know if what the lord said is right or wrong?" You must believe in me, I am definitely not a blind follower. In fact, this sentence is also telling Lu Peng in disguise that he Xu Jie is definitely not a guy who listens to the wind is the rain in the matter of Jinyiwei, and he has to do everything in a real way.
Lu Peng laughed: "The result of your experiment is that the frog was not slowly cooked in warm water at all, and when the water became hot, the frog grew away." β
So the two of them looked at each other and laughed happily together, laughing heartily, like two children playing a happy game.
After laughing heartily for a while, Lu Peng solemnly said to Xu Jie: "Actually, warm water can't boil dead frogs, but it can cook dead people." β
"Why?"
"Because frogs don't have too many thoughts, and human thoughts are too complicated, so complicated that a very simple decision becomes forward-looking, and becomes repeatedly weighed, but when they finally decide, it is already too late."
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh: "The lord still has a far-reaching view of people's hearts and human nature, and his subordinates still have to learn." β
Lu Peng poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then put the teapot on the coke stove, sat down next to the coke stove, and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.
"These officials who surrendered, according to the rules of the Han and us, are not allowed to go out of their own jurisdiction without receiving an order, and if they collude with officials in another jurisdiction, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, they will be charged with rebellion, so they have no time to connect with each other.
And what I did this time was to provide them with an opportunity to connect with each other, and to say and do what they wanted to say and do in this time, and we would be able to do the rest. β
At this time, Xu Jie had to admire Lu Peng and stretched out his thumb: "High, really high." β
