Wang Xu returned to the Qinzheng Hall alone, and the palace maid brought hot tea, he took a sip lightly, closed his eyes and pondered.

In the future, the Chu State will focus on five directions, one is the thorough improvement of the internal system, the second is the continuous and effective promotion of the national development, the third is the stability of Liangzhou, the fourth is to prepare for the Northern Expedition again, and the fifth is the promotion and reappointment of meritorious heroes.

As the saying goes, it is easy to make contributions in troubled times, but because of this, it is sometimes difficult to make arrangements, not to mention that there are too many top talents in this period, and it becomes extremely difficult to arrange within a range. For example, in the Chu State now, there is a vacancy in Yizhou, there is a vacancy in the three counties of Tianshui, Anding, and Longxi, and the Taishou in the counties of Liangzhou has not yet been officially identified, not to mention many other positions, which can be described as a lack of people.

But in fact, there are talented people who are idle, such as Dong He, whether it is talent or merit, he is enough to rank in Jiuqing or be reappointed to the top of the General's Mansion, but how can there be a suitable position for him now?

Therefore, the current system of the Chu State can be said to lack the civil and military forces below the middle and high-level levels, and some heroes who should have been further promoted have no position.

This era is too bright, the great disadvantage is that there are too many top talents, coupled with intensive battles, these talents have accumulated a lot of meritorious service, it is difficult to achieve a real balance, Dong He should have been above Jiuqing a long time ago, but who can be replaced now? It's everyone's fault!

Once Wang Xu didn't understand why Cao Wei and Wu were in the later period, there were so many generals with the name of generals. With a hussar general, there is a left hussar general and a right hussar general.

In fact, the merits of the courtiers are too high to be sealed, so they simply set up some messy top-level positions. This era was the most intense in ancient and modern times. The war of unification with the longest span. Coupled with the huge number of talents emerging, and the ability of many cutting-edge talents is comparable, it has become that shape. Even during the Warring States Period, it was not so dense, and there was no such concentration of talents, and the unification war in that period was only the beginning of the succession of the First Emperor, and the Six Kingdoms could not fight at all, and it didn't take too long.

Now Wang Xu is facing the trouble of talent appointment. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have talent and qualifications, you will be promoted, which is a necessary means for His Majesty.

On the table in front of him, there was a large silk silk, marking many vacant and important positions, and the candidates behind those positions were a mess. There was also a thick stack of materials stacked next to it, which was compiled by Shang Shutai, which was the merit books and seniority lists of many important officials, and even included the focused descriptions of abilities.

After closing his eyes and thinking for an unknown amount of time, Wang Xu finally opened his eyes. Straightened up from the Hu bed and chattered to himself: "The system of the Chu State is still not suitable for creating too many positions. If it exceeds too much, there will be chaos, and you can only grieve Dong He first! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out the brush on the pen holder and wrote slowly.

"Dong He was reappointed as Shangshu, Shangshu Zhang Song was appointed as the assassin of Yizhou, Guiyang Taishou was renamed Shangshu, and Li Chao was appointed as Guiyang Taishou ......"

When he was thinking carefully, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the side hall, and after a while, he heard the female official report outside the door: "King Qichu, Prime Minister Zhuge has just sent someone to send an urgent report, let the slave and maid forward it to the king, and ask the king to decide!" ”

"Sent by the minister?" Wang Xu put down the pen in his hand. "Then you can bring it in first!"

A moment later, after reading the emergency report, Wang Xu was instantly furious.

"What a Peng Yi, how long has it been since he took over as Taishou in Wudu? One didn't see political achievements, two didn't see meritorious deeds, three didn't have qualifications, this king instructed him to recruit Yang Fu, the king of the Wudu clan, and there was not even a message, and now he has said in vain that this king does not know talents, and wronged him! Should this king just let him be a minister? ”

"The King of Chu is angry!" The female officer standing next to her hurriedly spoke out to convince her.

"Okay, you go to Concubine Wan and ask her to send the spy department to verify whether this matter is true, if it is true, report it immediately, Peng Yi is too guarded by me, or don't do it again!"

"No!"

The female officer slowly retreated, Wang Xu's originally good mood became a little bad, when he was still in Liangzhou earlier, in order to promote Yang Fu to become the assassin of Liangzhou, he urgently reported to Xiangyang Shangshutai in advance, and asked him to choose one person to take up the post. Because the position of Wudu is extremely important, and because Yang Fu is extremely effective when he was in office, the speed of expansion to the west is very fast, and it is the most effective county in the western counties to implement the policy of expanding Xinjiang, and it is at a critical time, and it is in urgent need of a capable Taishou to take over.

I didn't think that the person sent by Shang Shutai after consultation was Peng Yi, Wang Xu also knew in his heart that this person had problems in history, but after thinking about it, he felt that since he could be recognized by Shang Shutai, he must still have the ability, and it was not appropriate to replace him immediately at that time, so he planned to give Peng Yi a chance, and also summoned him personally, and said a lot of things bitterly, I just hope that this person will not disappoint him.

But I didn't think that the final result would be like this, how could I not be angry?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Yang family to arrive, which finally made him temporarily calm down his anger and divert his attention.

After Xuanqi and a few people entered the hall, after a visit, Wang Xu couldn't help but look at a few people carefully.

"Get up first, all of you!"

"King Xie Chu!"

The three brothers of the Yang family are determined, although their demeanor is respectful, but they do not reduce their bearing, and it can be seen that they are all very temperamental people. As for the four children, Yang Fa is obviously not young, he must be an adult, and the other three are obviously much smaller, Yang Cheng looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, Yang Huiyu is only seven or eight years old, not to mention Yanghu, they are still children.

After some consideration, Wang Xu looked at Cai Wenji's sister carefully with a curious gaze.

I have to say that the Cai sisters really look alike, but the sister is taller, and Cai Wenji's figure is relatively more exquisite, although the two are also very different, they have one thing in common, that is, they all have the temperament of everyone's ladies.

After looking at them one by one, Wang Xu smiled and beckoned to Cai Yan who was waiting beside him.

"Wen Ji, come and sit next to me!"

"No!" Cai Wenji responded elegantly, then moved the lotus step lightly and sat beside him.

Wang Xu nodded at him, then looked at the people of the Yang family again, and said with a smile: "This king listened to Wen Ji. You have been in Chu for more than ten years. But I never saw it. I feel a little sorry! In the past, this king also had a chance to see the sheep, deeply admired, and today I look at you, I also feel quite extraordinary, really the tiger father has no dog! ”

As Cai Wenji's sister-in-law, Yang Wei took the lead in responding.

"The King of Chu has a good reputation, and the three brothers are not as good as their father, how can they be praised by the King of Chu like this. Today, I am honored to be summoned by the King of Chu. Seeing the king's appearance and bearing, he was deeply respected, and he felt that he had no regrets in this life! ”

Wang Xu waved his hand instantly: "Okay, there is no need to say flattery, this king has always been direct, extraordinary is extraordinary, if you are ordinary, then you will not praise directly." Although Wen Ji is not a princess, she is also the king's family, and her sister is also the king's sister. Therefore, in the king's heart, this is a family. Do you understand? ”

The three brothers of the Yang family looked at each other. I don't know how to answer.

Wang Xu knew that they didn't understand their personalities, so they definitely didn't dare to answer for a while, and they didn't pay attention to it, and turned their eyes to a few children.

"What is your position now?"

Yang Fa was the official governor of Huaibei in history, and he was also a very talented general, and he looked a little gloomy in the face of Wang Xu's inquiry.

"Back to King Chu, now the contemptible people are still practicing martial arts and studying at home!"

"You're not young, why haven't you thought about building a reputation? Why don't you serve the state of Chu? Wang Xu asked.

There was a gleam in the sheep's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Back to the King of Chu, the contemptible people really feel that their talents are insufficient, and they are not ready, so they have not given it a try!"

"Humility is a good thing, studious is also a good thing, but the years are more precious, you are now in your youth, instead of learning at home, it is better to go to the battlefield to learn, that is the real training for you!" Wang Xu looked at the sheep's hair with burning eyes, forcing him not to raise his head.

"What? Don't dare to speak? ”

Yang Wei hurriedly continued: "King Chu, the dog is not good at talking, if there is any rudeness, I implore the king of Chu to forgive the sin!" ”

Wang Xu glanced at him, then shook his head, and said in a homely tone: "You people have a lot of thoughts and thoughts, I don't bother to tell you, but you shouldn't mistake the child, at his current age, it is the time to hone and make contributions." ”

Speaking, without waiting for the three brothers of the Yang family to recover from their stunnedness, Wang Xu's sharp eyes were already looking at Yang Fa again: "Now you put aside my identity as the king of Chu, I am your uncle, you tell me clearly, do you want to gallop on the field, do you want to make contributions?" ”

"Yes! We all want to! Before Yang Fa could speak, a young child's voice sounded first.

"Yanghu!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The three brothers of the Yang family immediately became anxious and scolded loudly.

Yang Wei bowed down and said: "King Chu, the young son is young and ignorant, I beg the King of Chu to forgive me!"

But Xiao Yanghu remained unmoved, and straightened his back.

"Humph! I think he's more daring than you! Wang Xu shouted at the right time, preventing the three brothers of the Yang family from continuing to put pressure on Xiao Yanghu, and in their surprised expressions, they smiled and beckoned to Yanghu: "Yanghu, come here!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yanghu responded crisply, and then strode around the table and walked in front of Wang Xu.

Wang Xu looked at him handsome and cute, young and unusually smart, not stage frightened, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and couldn't help but hold him on his lap and sit down.

"Yanghu, you can call me uncle in private!"

"This ......" Little Yanghu tilted his head and thought about it, and it seemed that he didn't dare to make decisions about this matter.

"Why, you don't want to?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"I ...... I ......"

Although Xiao Yanghu is smart, he is still a child after all, and he may have been educated in a lot of etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so he didn't dare to agree to this thing indiscriminately, but looked at Cai Yan next to him like a helper.

Cai Yan covered his mouth and chuckled, and said lovingly: "The king of Chu asked you to call, you can call it!" ”

The little sheep was relieved, scratched his head, and immediately shouted loudly: "Uncle! ”

"Good, good! Who taught you to be so sensible? ”

"It's father and mother!"

"Hehe, what do you want to do in the future?"

When Xiao Yanghu heard this, he immediately danced excitedly: "General, I want to be a general who commands thousands of troops, serve the country, and expand the territory!" ”

"Okay, ambitious!" (To be continued......)
