The appearance of Chen Gong surprised Liu Wei a little, and he immediately issued an edict to conquer him.

At the same time, Liu Wei also saw from this that the opposition of the people in the world is still very strong, and now is not a good time for reform at all, at least he does not have the strength to carry out reform now.

With a spectrum in mind, the superficial work needs to be continued. Quelling the opposition from both the government and the opposition needs to be done immediately. Liu Wei angrily reprimanded Jia Xu, took away his title to Guangluxun's official position, and demoted him to the president of the company.

The Unified Investigation Agency was a newly established official office after Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, and it usually acts very low-key, so its specific administrative functions are not well understood by everyone. The people who see the Unified Investigation Agency sometimes travel all over the country to find strange mineral deposits or plants, and some people only speculate that they should be on behalf of the Son of Heaven or the strange treasures of the Solo folk.

Jia Xu also had such thoughts in his heart, and came to the government of the unified investigation agency in frustration to hand over to the current chief Shi Wei Yi.

Suddenly let people take the title and demote him from a high position, which made it difficult for him to face it calmly. He does not have Xu Shu's character of treating fame as dung and his heart as water, nor does he have Guo Jia's broad mind of worrying about the country and the people and planning for the people of the world. For him, rights are a means to protect his life, and helping the world is only something that he will think about after his life is protected. Although Jia Xu is not a strictly Legalist figure, he has the utilitarianism and selfishness of Legalism.

Liu Wei just values Jia Xu's character, he feels that selfishness is the deepest character in people's hearts, this is the primitive animal nature of people, just like animals in nature, every moment of life, every behavior is acting for their own survival. However, Liu Wei also has to admit that people sometimes sacrifice their lives for certain things and certain people, which is human social morality, that is, human nature.

The reason why people can become human beings is because they have this kind of social morality. And this is not innate, like primitive animal nature, but is cultivated through the influence of the external environment. This is a symbol of human civilization. Social morality continues to wrap and bind people's animal nature layer by layer as we age. No matter what kind of environment, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Mojia, Legalism, Jesus Christ, Allah Allah, what kind of ideological environment people grow up in will have what kind of social morality.

For example, the newborn baby is the most primitive animal, he will not abide by any moral norms in society, when he is hungry, he will seek food by crying, and when he grows up, he will not choose to cry to seek food when he is hungry, he is bound by moral norms, he learns to endure, or find another way to fill his stomach.

Jia Xu follows this primitive animality of human beings, although he is not really as exaggerated as a beast, but he does not take the moral constraints of society to heart. At least this moral binding force is weak for him.

Such a person is most suitable to do the work of the secret service system such as the Unified Investigation Agency, and he is also the most suitable to participate in Liu Wei's reform plan, as long as the reform is closely related to his fate, he will burst out of infinite abilities for himself.

Jia Xu is such a person, and Liu Wei is actually such a person. The reason why Liu Wei chose Jia Xu was that deep down he saw his own shadow from Jia Xu. If Guo Jia is a miniature version of Cao Cao, then Jia Xu is another mature version of himself.

Jia Xu, who was aggrieved in his heart, was really taken aback after handing over the affairs of the unified investigation agency with Wei Yi. This seemingly inconspicuous coordination agency turned out to have a greater function than he had imagined. It is to spy on the military and the people's situation externally for Liu Bian, and suppress dissidents in the imperial court internally.

Not to mention the secret affairs and rights of the empire that he came into contact with, Jia Xu was dumbfounded, including the intelligence network that the Coordination Agency had spread or was about to spread all over the empire, which was unimaginable to him. What frightened him the most was that the Unified Investigation Agency could arrest and interrogate those who had committed crimes such as corruption, dereliction of duty, and endangering the security of the empire among imperial officials. This is almost the right under one person and above ten thousand.

Jia Xu was a little dizzy, Liu Wei demoted him, it was completely open and secretly promoted. The entire Han Empire is now the best except for the emperor.

Wei Yi looked at Jia Xu's shocked expression and smiled slightly. Compared with Jia Xu's just taking over, he was shocked and dazed. However, Wei Yi set up the unified investigation agency bit by bit according to Liu Wei's instructions, and paid great hard work and effort, so it is naturally not surprising that these confidential things and rights in it are not surprised.

Arching his hand at Jia Xu, Wei Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Wenhe, since the establishment of the Unified Investigation Society, I have taken great pains to make it, and now I will hand it all over to you." ”

Jia Xu looked at Wei Yi when he heard this, and found that there was no jealousy or sarcasm on his face. I wondered in my heart, why was Wei Yi not have any angry expression on his face when he was taken away from such a big power? Or is he so scheming that he can't see it, and no one can see it?

In fact, Wei Yi is far inferior to Jia Xu in terms of scheming and scheming, and the reason why he is not angry is because he understands Liu Wei, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, better than Jia Xu.

At this time, he was not only in charge of the empire's media "Luoyang Times", but also responsible for the management of mentors in various armies, which was equivalent to the management of the party affairs system in later generations. (Although the military mentor is not as formal and systematic as the establishment of a party) If you add the management of the intelligence department, then the great power of his has almost affected the stability of Liu Wei's power.

No matter how much Liu Wei trusts him and how loyal he is to Liu Wei, it won't work. Moreover, the excessive concentration of power also sets a very bad example.

Liu Wei divided the power in his hands in order to prevent the concentration of power from harming his own throne and the Han Empire. At the same time, this can be regarded as a kind of protection for Wei Yi.

Therefore, Wei Yi really doesn't mind this, all his rights and even his life are given by Liu Wei, even if he takes them all, it doesn't matter. Besides, Wei Yi understands that for Liu Wei, you can take anything from him, but you must not touch the rights in his hands. If you really touch it, Liu Wei will definitely use all his means to fight with you.

Wei Yi thought that he couldn't afford to fight against Liu Bian, and when he first met Liu Bian in Maolong Garden, the mature and ruthless young man's expression was always in the depths of his mind.

Jia Xu didn't know it now, and it wasn't until he slowly understood Liu Wei's character of not allowing anyone to endanger his rights like Wei Yi.

After the handover, Wei Yi left the Unified Investigation Agency, and Jia Xu officially began to take over, starting his era.

In the history of the Unified Coordination Society, people always regard Wei Yi as the founder of the Unified Coordination Society, but it was Jia Xu who really carried forward the Unified Coordination Society.

Liu Wei demoted Jia Xu, which can be regarded as calming the commotion in the world. What he didn't expect was that Chen Gong was not satisfied with the results of the court's treatment of Jia Xu, and even made another statement, accusing the court of not tolerating the adulterer, and should immediately execute Jia Xu to set the record straight.

Wanting to kill them all like this, Liu Wei suddenly felt quite dissatisfied.

As one of the top advisers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Wei still admires Chen Gong very much. As early as the first time he was on the table, Liu Wei had the idea of taking him by his side.

However, Chen Gong not only rejected Liu Kui's conquest, but also hooked up with Yuan Kui, and the unified investigation agency found out that after Yuan Kui wrote to the court on his behalf, the two have been in correspondence.

This made Liu Wei suspect Chen Gong's bad intentions for the second time, and even doubted Chen Gong's character.

In history, it was Chen Gong who led Lu Bu into Yanzhou and almost ended Cao Cao's eastern expedition. The reason for this is that Chen Gong is disgusted with Cao Cao's thirst for killing, and he is also dissatisfied with Cao Cao's treatment of himself not good enough. Chen Gong's behavior is already regarded as stealing, even the moral standards of this era are not allowed. Therefore, at this time, Liu Wei was already interested in the idea of accepting Chen Gong into the court, but his killing intent towards him became more and more intense.

I thought of what Cao Cao once said: If these celebrities are not used for themselves, I am afraid that they will be used by others to harm the court.

Liu Wei ordered Cao Cao to bind Chen Gong to Luoyang and execute him on the charges of indiscriminately discussing the government and insulting the imperial court.

However, Cao Cao cherished Chen Gong's talent, and when he entered Yanzhou, it was thanks to Chen Gong's multi-faceted efforts to contact the Yanzhou wealthy family for him that he gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou. Therefore, he refused to accept Liu Wei's edict for a long time, and also pleaded for Chen Gong.

Seeing Cao Cao's seal, Liu Wei frowned.

Although the content of the seal adhered to the courtesy and lowered the posture, the final meaning was still to refuse to carry out Liu Wei's edict. This is no different from what other princes have done to disobey the imperial edicts.

As early as when Cao Cao was put out of the place, Liu Wei had already expected this kind of thing to happen today. When Yanzhou gradually stabilized, the rights of individuals gradually expanded, and Cao Cao's heroic nature was gradually revealed.

Of course, Cao Cao's ambitions at this time had not yet reached the point of breaking away from the Han Dynasty and standing on his own feet and wrestling with the imperial court. Even due to the change of historical trajectory, the close relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Wei, the stability of the prestige of the imperial court, and the rapid changes in the situation in the world, it is still unknown whether Cao Cao will embark on the original historical path, and Liu Wei cannot grasp what Cao Cao wants to do, perhaps, even Cao Cao in Yanzhou does not know what he wants, full of confusion and entanglement.

Liu Wei still has some countermeasures against Cao Cao, but he can't use it at this time. For Chen Gong, Liu Wei temporarily sold Cao Cao a face, let Chen Gong go, and ordered Cao Cao to strictly control him, and the matter was settled.

The Tianxia Shiren Group and the landlord Haoqiang Group gradually calmed down their anger because the imperial court dealt with Jia Xu. And the local prefecture, pastoral and county guards and other separatist forces saw Liu Wei's concession in the Jia Xu incident, and the ** in their hearts began to swell.

The world has changed, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are boiling.
