The discussion continued, but Guo Huai left first because he was busy with official business.

Without him, the three of them talked a lot more casually.

Guo Jia looked at the troubled Xu Ji and said, "Lord, since it is difficult to solve this problem for a while, why don't we let Miss Zhen Mi disappear for a while?" After that, he excused himself to die of a violent illness, and waited until the rumor passed, and then let Miss Zhen Mi appear. His so-called waiting for the wind to pass refers to the time when Xu Ji succeeded in changing the dynasty.

This is not a solution, I am afraid that I may not be able to hide it from others, but before Xu Ji could speak, Xun Yu had already flatly refused: "No, so Miss Zhen Mi has to hide her identity for the rest of her life?" ”

And Xun Yu's consideration, of course, is still based on Zhen Mi's queen life, if Zhen Mi can't show his true face, then what's the point? But Xu Ji personally thinks that this is a good idea, which can not only resolve the current crisis, but also avoid the embarrassing situation of Zhen Mi marrying him. It's a pity that he can't say this, after all, the matter between himself and Mrs. Zhang is a secret.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiwei smiled bitterly: "We still have a long-term view of this matter, and we can't think of a way for a while, if it really doesn't work, use Fengxiao's idea, because that is already the result in our favor." ”

Although Xun Yu did not agree, he also knew that Guo Jia's countermeasures were indeed the best choice, so he had to reluctantly nod, but looking at the hesitation in Xun Yu's expression, he was definitely not satisfied with this result, which meant that he would have to think hard in the future. In order to divert Xun Yu's attention, Xu Ji smiled at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, where are you, the newly appointed Great Situ, going to start first?" Xun Yu heard this. His spirit was lifted, and he said excitedly: "Now all the states and counties in the north are under the control of the lord. In addition to the strength of the clans in the Chang'an area, it is not difficult to carry out land reform in other places. We have a large number of landless peasants and a large number of ownerless land. If it would have been easy to dismantle the economic and military power of the great families of these states and counties, the urgent problem that we need to solve now is the system of appointment of management, which the lord should know. If we still implement the recommendation system, then in a few generations, the Shinkchi family will be born. They first seized the central power, then the local powers, and finally they seized the land and bought the peasants, and we will repeat the mistakes of the Later Han Dynasty. Therefore. Tomorrow's most important task is to turn the imperial examination system implemented by the lord in Yanzhou into a fundamental system for selecting talents in the world, and to break the political monopoly of the big families. Xu Ji and Guo Jia nodded when they heard this, and when it came to politics, the two of them tied together couldn't catch up with Xun Yu's fingers, of course, they only had to be willing to be taught.

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Of course, our excuse is still the Hongdu Gate study system of the first emperor, otherwise it will be difficult to get those opposition parties and old diehards in the imperial court to agree to the imperial examination system." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Now the plan has to be like this." However, the reputation of the first emperor is not very good. Even the temple number after his death has an ironic 'Spirit Emperor', and tomorrow there will be another argument. Xun Yu smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Originally, I wasn't completely sure, but now it's different." ”

Xu Ji and Guo Jia were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu said with confidence: "The information from Yizhou and Jingzhou is really timely. We can make a big deal out of it. ”

Xu Ji and Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, although they still didn't understand, they also knew that Xun Yu was in his chest, and they knew that Xun Yu was not a person who bullied people. Naturally reassuring. Another conversation was spoken. Xu Ji asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, when are you going to leave?" ”

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with reluctance, but he said briskly: "I'll set off in the afternoon." The sooner I swept away the annexation of the state, and the sooner I could go back to Chang'an to give advice to the lord. ”

Xu Ji nodded. The poem "Inaction is on the wrong path, and the children are stained with a towel" flashed in my heart. Only at this moment will I deeply understand the meaning of this poem.

After leaving the city to see off Guo Jia, Xu Ji returned to Chang'an non-stop and came to the prison, the purpose of this trip was of course to release Yang Biao, the former lieutenant.

When Xu Ji went, Yang Biao was sitting in the middle of the prison with his eyes closed and recuperating, although he was unkempt and ragged, he was not shocked or disturbed, and he had some self-cultivation.

He was not surprised at all that Xu Jilai released him, as if this had been expected by him. When he got out of the prison door, he only hugged Xu Ji and floated away.

Xu Ji doesn't care, to this day, Yang Biao has no influence on the government, after all, Liu Xie doesn't like him because of Yuan Shu's relationship, Wang Zifu and others are Wang Yun's old party, so naturally they won't pay attention to Yang Biao, because Xu Ji himself and Yang Biao have no intersection and don't need his help, and they basically have nothing to say to him, so of course they can't talk about trust, so it is normal for Yang Biao to be so chic. Unexpectedly, when Xu Ji left, he found Hua Xiong who was locked up in the prison and shouted grievances to himself.

Since this kid was arrested by Wang Yun, he has been locked up in prison and no one cares about him. Although after Wang Yun's death, many of the people arrested by Wang Yun have been released, but no one cares about Hua Xiong, because this kid has fallen on both sides of the wall, and no one can tell which side he is, so he will not be released, let alone Xu Ji, even Guo Huai and others have long forgotten him.

When he saw Xu Ji today, of course he shouted loudly, and when Xu Ji knew who he was, he was taken aback. However, Xu Ji had no intention of recruiting him. After this guy survived by Sun Jian's knife, not only did he not know how to restrain himself, but he became more and more ignorant of life and death, Xu Ji really has no interest in this kind of person.

What's more, for Xu Ji, Hua Xiong can't stay, because Hua Xiong has seen him outside Chang'an City.

At that time, this person didn't know himself, he just thought he was a small person, and there was also Yuan Min, the master of the Yuan family, who was present at the time, but Yuan Min was dead, only this Hua Xiong was left, as long as this person was killed, then no one in the world witnessed his fake disappearance, as long as Hua Xiong died, there was no proof of death.

As for Cao Cao and the others, although they know the truth, they will naturally not break the truth out of their own interests, and they have no evidence at all. Xu Jiming's subordinates, who were murderous, opened the prison door and walked towards Hua Xiong with a smile, Hua Xiong thought that he had come to a savior. But where did he know that he had attracted a catastrophe, it was in Xu Ji's smile. Hua Xiong was sent to the West Heaven by Xu Ji in a daze, as for his life and death. No one cares about it in the first place, so naturally no one will ask.

As soon as Hua Xiong died, the year's plan came to a complete end, which made Xu Ji breathe a sigh of relief. However, Hua Xiong, the tiger general in question, did not die on the battlefield. But he died in prison and in the midst of conspiracy, which is really pitiful and ridiculous.

When Xu Ji returned home, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. As soon as he entered the mansion, he bumped into Xun Yu head-on, and this humble gentleman told Xu Ji. This afternoon, not long after Xu Ji sent Guo Jia away, Cai Yong's father and daughter came to the house to visit. The beautiful name is to meet Xu Zijiang, but Cai Yan waited for Xu Ji in the side hall for an afternoon, and saw that Xu Ji had not come back, so he and Cai Yong left, so they didn't go very hard. Xu Ji muttered secretly, this Cai Yan won't interfere with him now, right?

However, Xu Ji was relieved immediately, this kind of thing will come sooner or later. On the contrary, you can't be so passive. You should take the initiative.

When I entered the house, I saw a group of people busy. It turned out that Liu Xie sent official uniforms and rewards to Xun Yu. Xu Ji and Xun Yu talked for a while after dinner, and they had been planning for a long time for tomorrow morning, and when the moon was already in the middle of the sky, the two of them fell asleep.

The second is to get up early in the morning. Xu Ji and Xun Yu rushed to the court.

When I got there, it was still early. But there were already ministers of civil and military affairs standing outside, and most of them were greeting Xu Ji and Xun Yu warmly. Except for Xu Ji, who has become a prince of water and fire, everyone else greeted Xu Ji with a smile. It's okay to see Xu Ji so popular. But seeing that Xun Yu's connections are also so high, of course, it is difficult for Wang Zifu and his party to swallow this breath. Therefore, they all glared at Xun Yu viciously.

But of course Xu Ji and Xun Yu don't care, after all, they have violated the interests of others, and they are a stumbling block to their own unification of the world, how can everyone have so many good moods for acting?

Xu Ji and Xun Yu responded with a smile, until their smiles were a little stiff, and Xu Ji whispered to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, it seems that Mr. Xu Zijiang has been quite successful in building momentum for us." Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "The problem is that the price is a bit big, and the lord should know that I am annoying." And these people are smiling, who knows what kind of tricks they have in their stomachs, and there are comfortable places to stay in Yanzhou. Hmph, today's court meeting is definitely not that simple, I don't know how many people want to embarrass me, and how many people are waiting to see my jokes. ”

Xu Ji chuckled when he heard this, and then said, "Brother Wen Ruo, this thing is normal, and it depends on you today." As soon as you arrived in Chang'an, you became famous, and you are a mediocre talent if you don't recruit people. I'm still waiting for Brother Wen Ruo to shine today! ”

Xun Yu laughed, indescribably chic and confident. At this time, there was a small yellow door called the saint to arrive, so the ministers entered the hall, and when Liu Xie arrived, he knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison.

Of course, Xun Yu, the newly appointed big Situ, was "cared for" by Liu Xie, and asked a few politely questions.

In fact, it was not the first time that the two of them had met, when Liu Xie was brought to Yanzhou, Xun Yu was personally responsible for the diet and daily life, and Liu Xie naturally had a very good impression of this humble gentleman. Subsequently, Xu Ji presented the latest developments in Yizhou and Jingzhou as the chief secretary.

When he knew that Liu Yan had died, Liu Xie was extremely excited, obviously very jealous of Liu Yan, after all, Liu Bei's army and Hanzhong's army had coerced Chang'an some time ago, so that Liu Xie couldn't sleep well for several nights. Now that Liu Yan is dead, he breathes a sigh of relief, but he doesn't pay much attention to the Yizhou family's joint recommendation of Liu Bei as the assassin of Yizhou. In his mind, what skills can a person who works under Liu Yan have?

However, the Jingzhou incident made Liu Xie very annoyed, after all, Liu Biao was a relative of the emperor, and it was really a shameless thing for him to be beaten by Sun Ce and flee to the point of wolf bèi.

What's more, Sun Ce was originally Yuan Shu's subordinate, which made Liu Xie even more unhappy.

As soon as the two things were finished, there was a lot of discussion in the court, Liu Xie motioned for everyone to calm down, looked around at the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "What do the Qing family think?" ”

Wu Shuo, the speaker of the class, said: "Shengshang, Liu Yan died, Yizhou was peaceful without a fight, it is really gratifying, since Liu Bei has such prestige in Yizhou, I think it is better to push the boat down the river and appoint Liu Bei as the assassin of Yizhou according to the local requirements, which is also the practice of the imperial court." ”

The people in the lobby echoed it. Although this mention is modest, it is in line with the law of the Han court, so it has won the unanimous approval of everyone. That Xu Ji had a good impression of it and advised the doctor Shao and said, "Liu Bei's matter is easy to say. After all, Liu Yan is punished by everyone. And Liu Bei is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, just the matter of righteous annihilation. It can be enough to be the position of Yizhou Assassin. But what should Jingzhou do? After all, Liu Biao is a relative of the emperor. It doesn't matter if he was beaten away by Sun Ce, but Sun Ce now actually asked to be the assassin of Jingzhou. Where is the majesty of the imperial court? ”

Yilang Wu Shuo nodded and said, "Lord Shao is reasonable. However, the problem is that Sun Ce actually does not recognize the position of the assassin of Jingzhou, can we still send other people to Jingzhou? Liu Xie's face became ugly, although he didn't like to listen to Wu Shuo's words, but he knew that what Wu Shuo said was very reasonable, and the matter was no longer under his control

But Sun Ce served as Zhou Tingshi, and it was really uncomfortable to shout to the ground.

The court was full of people who were good at observing words and feelings, and everyone immediately understood Liu Xie's intentions, so although there were many discussions, no one touched Liu Xie's moldy head. blatantly agreed to Sun Ce's appointment as the assassin of Jinzhou, anyway, the final result of this matter is the same, why should he be the first bird?

Xu Ji glanced at Xun Yu but saw that this kid was squinting, and he looked at ease.

This kid is really calm.

Da Honglu Zhou Huan has been disgraced by Xu Ji in the court. He has always held a grudge against Xu Ji, but he knows that Xu Ji is powerful, and he also knows that this person is by no means an easy character to deal with, so he naturally does not dare to provoke, but when he saw Xun Yu next to Xu Ji who was recuperating with his eyes closed, he still couldn't help but provoke: "Da Situ is a famous man in Yanzhou, and he is the contemporary leader of the Xun family. Presumably, Da Situ has a unique experience in the appointment of officials, how can he be silent at this time? Let's listen to the high opinion of Da Situ. ”

Xu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and Zhou Huan finally couldn't help but speak, although this may not be the meaning of the other party as a whole. But as long as someone is the first bird, it will be Xun Yu's performance time.

For a while, everyone in the court looked at Xun Yu, who had been silent, and naturally wanted to see if Xun Yu really had any high opinions.

Of course, everyone also knew very well in their hearts that this was actually a challenge to Xu Ji launched by the prince's side.

This time, Zhou Huan was much more careful, and the timing of the choice was just right, because about the attitude of Yizhou and Jingzhou, everyone should have said almost everything, and even if Xun Yu spoke, he would not have much construction and novelty. But if Xun Yu can't say something new, it can only prove that Xun Yu is just a mediocre person. It doesn't deserve so much attention. It has a great impact on Xun Yu's prestige.

It seems that Wang Zifu and others have realized that Xun Yu is the helper that Xu Ji found from Yanzhou, so they want to suppress Xun Yu with all their might.

Of course, Xu Ji knew about the other party's intentions, but the question was whether they had the ability? Xun Yu was waiting for the moment when the other party was in trouble. glanced at Zhou Huan first, patted the clean official uniform elegantly, and smiled tepidly: "Lord Zhou is too expensive." The question of the history of the Yizhou assassin and the history of the Jingzhou assassin is very clear, but I am thinking about another problem: since Liu Bei has become the envoy of the Yizhou assassin. So should we withdraw Zhang Xiu's army on the Shenling front line in Hanzhong? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially Wang Zifu and others, of course they hoped that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu would withdraw to Chang'an, so that they would have the strength to sing against Xu Ji, but this Jian Yì was actually brought out from Xun Yu's mouth, which seemed a bit strange. For a moment, they didn't know how to react.

Xu Ji also felt strange, but he knew that Xun Yu had his own measure. Although Xun Yu is longer than governing the government, his military talent should definitely not be underestimated, Xu Ji has not forgotten the four major masterminds under Cao Cao, the most important of which is his best friend.

Chong Shao frowned and said, "Lord Situ, if Zhang Xiu's army is withdrawn, then which army and princes Hanzhong will be sent?" This kid has always been outspoken, he also knows that Xu Ji and Wang Zifu and others are not in harmony, and he can see that Wang Zifu and others are wooing Zhang Xiu, if Zhang Xiu is transferred back, then the only way to send Xu Ji's army to Hanzhong is to send Xu Ji's army, but Xu Ji's current army has its own responsibilities, it is impossible to transfer at will, and it will not set up a strong enemy for himself in Chang'an, so he asked.

Xun Yu laughed and said, "Where do you need to send any army?" Since Liu Bei is so reassuring to everyone, what are we doing with sending troops to guard against Hanzhong and Yizhou? It would be better to withdraw the army. Everyone was stunned again, they didn't expect Xun Yu to say such words.

Everyone thinks it's ridiculous, because this is the time when the world is in chaos, don't defend in Hanzhong, isn't that stretching out your neck for others to cut off? How can there be such a person in the world?

But he can't refute Xun Yu's words, could it be that Liu Bei and Zhang Lu are very dangerous and must be guarded against? If he asked so, then Xun Yu would immediately ask back: "Since you know that Liu Bei is not safe, why do you still appoint him as the assassin of Yizhou?" ”

Isn't this revealing the scars of the Han court's inability to control the locality? For a moment, everyone kept their mouths shut.

Although Liu Xie's face was not good-looking, out of understanding Xun Yu's temperament, he knew that what Xun Yu said was true, and he must have another purpose, so he said to Xun Yu with a thoughtful expression on his face: "If the Xun Qing family has anything to say, the widow will forgive you for your innocence!" ”

Xun Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that the Manchu civil and military forces in this court had been taken away by himself, especially Liu Xie. In this way, today's plan will definitely be doubted! (To be continued......)
