"This is going to be reported to the ministry? If so, there is no room for manoeuvre. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After listening to Chen Zhi's words, from Dong Xu down, they were all dumbfounded, because this was completely different from what they imagined, one before and one after, twice to summon people, Chen Zhi's coping method can be said to be two extremes, the contrast is so great that people can't figure it out.

"If Xu Ji didn't come just now, Chen Zhi would back down and let people invite him again, which fueled Xu Ji's arrogance, but as a result, if he didn't invite him for the second time, he would be removed directly?" After Zhou Ao was surprised, his mind turned sharply, thinking about the problems behind this matter and the changes that might be bringing.

The same is true for others, such as Dong Xu, who is sweating on his forehead, obviously thinking more.

Chen Zhi's words mentioned Sun Wu's training and killing Wu Wang Aiji, which shows that it was not an impulse, but a determination, but it was too radical, Xu Ji had a deep background, and was arranged in the Taile Agency, there were many reasons, and he was not an ordinary official, and Chen Zhi had just taken office today, and before he sat down, he had to take Xu Ji away. But how can Xu Ji be active? ”

Thinking of the danger, this Taile Cheng's heart was completely messed up, because if Chen Zhi was determined to do it, then he would be caught in the middle, but it would be really unpleasing to both ends, maybe he would be in the excitement of Shangguan's colleagues, and he would offend the forces behind Xu Ji.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Taile, it's better to think about this matter in the long run, after all, there are many complicated things on the side of the Ministry of Officials, inside and outside Shangshutai, it is even more important, Shangguan, as soon as you are in place, you will have to hand over the note to the Ministry of Shangshutai, which will inevitably make the people over there feel that something is wrong, in case you write it down, maybe it will affect your future promotion." ”

This sentence is actually a euphemistic dissuasion, if it is said in the vernacular, that is, as soon as you take office and have not made achievements, you will first make a report to the above, and you will abolish your subordinates, so that the people of Shangshutai will hear it, in case you suspect that you are not capable enough and you are blacklisted, then your official career will be affected in the future.

This is not sensational.

The power structure of the New Han Dynasty was naturally different from that of later generations, the six-ministry system was not perfect, and the authority was scattered in the hands of Shangshutai, Zhongshu Province, Lieqing and other secretaries and officials.

As mentioned above, the authority of the Lieqing was constantly encroached upon by Shangshutai, and the seizure of power in disguise was reflected in the increasingly huge power of many Shangshutai.

Shang Shutai, originally an institution under one of the nine Qing "Shaofu", otherwise the sending and receiving and keeping of documents, the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu dictatorship, Shang Shutai took the opportunity of his consultation and order, and his status was improved, becoming more and more important.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangshutai became more and more perfect, forming the Six Cao Shangshu, although still subordinate to the Shaofu, but the general discipline of the general discipline, all-encompassing, almost replaced the prime minister and the imperial historian, assisted the emperor in decision-making military affairs, commanded hundreds of officials, and even had the power to implement decisions.

After the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, to today's New Han Dynasty, the functions of Shangshutai have expanded more and more, and the government personnel have also expanded, and it has officially become independent from the Shaofu and has become the de facto national government affairs center.

However, such a change will naturally weaken the ability of other parties, at least the ruler will not allow one institution to have the power to interfere in all aspects, so balancing and weakening is the proper meaning.

So the decision-making function was separated from Shangshutai, and was divided between the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia, and at the same time, it also increased the standardization of Shangshutai's internal authority and organizational structure, and in the years that followed, it was constantly improved, and in the original history, it finally formed the six famous later generations in the Sui Dynasty.

At this time, in addition to several major officials who are similar to the power of the Lieqing, and even have more, there are also relatively complete six Cao Shangshu, the officials are the first of them, and the rest are the palace, the five soldiers, Tian Cao, Du Zhi, and Zuo Min.

The ministry still has a great deal of power over the appointment of ordinary officials, and even has a great influence and the ability to make suggestions for some powerful officials.

However, Chen Zhi was obviously not worried about these, but said: "Tell Xu Ji about yourself, there is no need to say much." ”

Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't want to explain at all, Dong Xu could only be anxious, sighing in his heart, and at the same time his thoughts turned sharply, thinking about what compromise could reverse the situation.

He was still thinking about it, Chen Zhi had already gotten up, and said to the few people in front of him: "Okay, I've seen it today, and it's clear, on this first day, I don't force you to be able to devote yourself to politics, so today is still idle, but from tomorrow, the Taile Department should gradually get on the right track." With that, he got up, walked up to the scribe, and inquired about the place where the dossier was stored, saying that he wanted to go and consult it.

To understand the functioning of a department, in addition to asking the people in it, it is also a very direct but practical way to check the past records.

However, after Chen Zhi left, several of his subordinate officials did not leave, but gathered together to discuss.

"What to do? Do you really want to follow his instructions and report Xu Ji's dismissal to the ministry? Dong Xu looked at the few people in front of him and said in a deep voice.

And several of his colleagues, this matter is also lazy, one by one frowning, as if facing a great enemy, because they are aware of the hidden dangers behind this matter.

Zhou Ao sighed, and then asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?" Dong Jun, after all, is a Shangguan, and he has just taken office, and he is the age of blood and strength, and he has a lot of reputation, and his people and ambitions are not small, otherwise he would not have responded to the edict as soon as he received the edict. ”

Cao Gaojiang lowered his voice and said: "This move, it's not good, it's a bit nonsense, although it is Shangguan, it shouldn't be discussed, but our Shangguan is also the first time to be an official, and I don't know a little bit about it, I think I still have to give some hints." "This Gao Jiang's physique looks relatively strong, as if he has survived his muscles and bones, but there is not much heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, but there is a bookish atmosphere.

Advocating Cao Ma Xuan, he said: "If we give a hint, it is a little inappropriate, just give a breath to the servant's mansion." He is dressed as a standard scholar, and when he speaks, he also has Luoyang's unique Beijing accent.

When others heard this proposal, they all nodded their heads, thinking that it was Lao Cheng's serious words, what Chen Zhi did today, in their opinion, was probably based on a momentary anger, and they were not easy to persuade clearly, but when they told the Chen family, the Chen family would not let Chen Zhi act.

"Then it must be fast, before the news reaches the ministry, otherwise there will be no point." Dong Xu reminded again, and then sighed, "But Xu Ji's side, we can't stop it, he is a person, you know, he is very grudgeful, even if this matter subsides, it will inevitably be tossed with Chen Taile in the future, alas, today's Taile Department is not peaceful." ”

His voice fell, and the others were silent for a moment, as if they saw the next problems.

At the end, Gao Jiang suddenly lowered his voice a little more and said, "You say, how long can our new Taile Ling stay here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest not only had no surprises, but thought about it seriously.

That Ma Xuan pondered for a moment and said something: "The predecessor Taile Ling, only three months in place, because of the contradiction between the north and south academies, failed to satisfy both sides, and finally the two mountain chiefs came forward, and the people behind them made a force to transfer the former Taile Ling from Luoyang, and then the previous one, because of the sacrifice, the proper disposal, was taken out by the predecessor too often, these two are said to be cautious people, do not seek merit but seek no fault, but even so, it is still difficult to serve for a long time, the new person, judging by his words and deeds, I am afraid that the time is shorter. ”

"Don't talk about the past, just talk about the time." Gao Jiang was direct, and after saying this, he immediately stretched out two fingers, although he didn't say it explicitly, others knew what he meant.

Two months.

"Not so short." Zhou Ao shook his head and stretched out three fingers, "After all, he is the grandson of the Taifu clan, and he has the emperor's invitation, and there are merits to base upon. ”

"No, no." Ma Xuan shook his head, and then said: "Because of this, you can't stay for a long time, otherwise, according to his style today, something will happen sooner or later, whether it is the emperor, the servant, or even the princes of the court, Chen Zhi will be given the position of Taile, but also to find a step down for the war in Northern Xinjiang. He also held out two fingers.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous," Dong Xu couldn't help frowning when he saw the actions of a few people, "You guys, it's really like Chen Taile said, you're used to being lazy, at this time, you still take this kind of thing out to make a bet, if Chen Taile knows about this, it depends on his posture today, I'm afraid that before the transfer, we will all be fired." ”

Gao Jiang was happy when he heard it, and couldn't help but say: "Dong Jun, what you said is good, but listening to the meaning of this word, isn't it also sure that Chen Taile won't be able to do it for long?" Saying how he was before the transfer is not optimistic, you just tell the truth, how long do you think this one can last? ”

Dong Xu hesitated for a moment, stretched out four fingers, and then explained: "After all, it is from an extraordinary background, and it also represents the face of the court at the moment, plus the relationship between the Xiongnu envoys, at least within four months, there will be no changes, but such a long time may not be a good thing, maybe the Xiongnu envoys will have more changes, and when the time comes, I am afraid that they will have to go down." ”

The others shook their heads and sighed.

"Okay, you're actually even more optimistic."

If Chen Zhi saw this scene, he would have to sigh at how loose and depressed the atmosphere of this yamen was.

On the other hand, the news of the Taile Department also spread quickly.
