The city of Anyi was undoubtedly too cramped for the vast bureaucratic system designed by Shi Xun - in the original history, Cao Cao had already begun to expand Yecheng many years before he was crowned Duke of Wei, and used it as an important base for controlling the vast land of Hebei; And in this timeline, it is all in Anyi, which is really unexpected, and the scale is naturally impossible to expand enough in the short term - the Wei Gong Mansion is located in the middle of the city to the north, and the pattern is basically the same as that of the Imperial Palaces of Luoyang and Xudu. The hundred official offices are on the east side of the public mansion, and the three sets of Chinese books, books, and imperial history are arranged in the shape of a product, and the rest of the official offices are scattered in the middle.

The three chiefs can be compared with the three princes of the imperial court, and the grades are similar, but when they meet the court, sacrifice, and meeting, they should divide the seats and set the order. However, in the planning of Shi Xun, Chen Qun and others, they deliberately ceded the central position to Shangshutai, and Zhongshu was relegated to the southwest - on the one hand, because Zhongshu directly inherited the will of the monarch and was close to the public mansion to act cheaply, and on the other hand, because the number and scale of Shangshu's official offices were too large to be carried out on the side. Of course, the most important thing is to show humility and retirement, and dare not be right to Xun Gongda.

As for the place where the prime minister met, it was naturally arranged in the Zhongshu platform. In fact, Xun originally wanted to arrange it in the middle of the three stations, or simply built it in Shangshu - after all, among the three chiefs, with his own qualifications being the youngest and the youngest, he was proud and did not move, and he had to wait for Xun Gongda and Mao Xiao to come to the door first, and he was a little reluctant not to go. However, the reason is still the same, one is that there is really no place in Shangshutai, and the other is that Cao Cao often has to come to mix, Wei Gong has all the opportunities, who dares to let him run away?

On this day it is again a time for counseling. The Zaifu of the Wei State came to Zhongshu one after another. Including: Shangshu Ling Xunyou, Shangshu Zuo Servant Liang Mao, Imperial History Doctor Mao Jue, Imperial History Zhongcheng Wang Lang. In addition, there are Cao Ang, the prince of the world, Cheng Yu, the secretary of the military department, Wang Yi, the former general Xiahoudun, the later general Cao Ren, the general Jia Xu, the central protector Cao Hong, and the leader of the Chinese army Han Hao. Because today we may discuss the expedition, I have been notified in advance and come to observe. Liu Ye, the left servant of the Chinese book, is also one of the zaifu, who arrived early and welcomed in one by one.

Everyone sat down one after another, Mao Jue looked left and right, couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Liu Ye: "Is it to make Jun unharmed?" "Everyone knows that this guy is lazy - in fact, he can't be lazy. But he has a problem with snooze, and even if he has an important enlarged meeting, it is unrealistic to expect him to be in the top few, but ...... You can't be the last one, can you? Seeing that except for him and Cao Cao, everyone who should have come has come - what's the matter, are you going to take leave today?

Mao Jue is frugal but luxury, Mao Jue is rigid but Xun Rou, Mao Jie is diligent but lazy...... These two guys are almost natural rivals. Mao Jue once said: "It is Hongfu who is the crown of the world, and it is a pity that virtue is not good." So that it can follow the teachings of the saints, then the prime minister and the king will be the king! "The prime minister, of course, refers to Cao Cao. Ling Jun refers to Xun Yu, the meaning of Mao Jue. If Shi Xun can be on par with himself and Cao Cao in terms of living habits, then he will be powerful, and he will not dare to say that he can overpower Cao Cao and Xun Yu, and he can also be the third person in the world. After hearing this, he just pouted, and said in his heart that it is not easy to change people's preferences without mentioning them, even if I am really as frugal and upright as you, then I must hide it, Derby Supreme? Isn't that self-inflicted?!

So usually Xun is a little late for a meeting, and Mao Jue will inevitably sneer a few words, which has become a habit, not to mention today's situation? Directly asked: Did that guy call in sick? Liu Ye was very embarrassed to listen to, and he was not easy to understand, and he had no way to explain, so he had to say perfunctorily: "If you don't worry, you will be rewarded." "If he is really sick, he will definitely ask for leave, so please sit back and wait.

As he was talking, he came to report to the door again, saying, "Chen Qun, the secretary of the ministry, has arrived." Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and said in their hearts, what is Chen Changwen doing here? He is not the prime minister, and he is not familiar with military affairs at all, so what's the use of coming? It seems that the main topic today is not just about the southern expedition. Sure enough, after Chen Qun came in, he explained first, saying that the Duke of Wei's Mansion had just sent someone to the ministry to summon him and ask him to come over to attend. Chen Qun has a bit of a number in his heart, this must be to discuss my Jiupin official book.

Everyone waited for a while, because it was said that Cao Cao would arrive, so they didn't dare to leave the lord and hold a meeting directly. Finally, without reporting, Cao Cao led Shi Xun directly in - Mao Jue's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was dissatisfied: Okay, let's wait here, it turns out that you will go to the public meeting with the lord first!

The ministers got up and finished wiping, Cao Cao sat down in the center, and Shi Xun sat opposite Xun You. Cao Cao has never liked false texts, so he didn't greet them, and raised his hand directly: "Where is the long text?" Chen Qun hurriedly stood up: "The minister is here." Cao Cao took out his plan from his sleeve and raised it: "This law of the Nine Rank Officials is for Changwen to enter Yu Hongfuye?" Chen Qun hurriedly explained: "The ugly text has not had time to be modified, and Xianqian is to make Jun axe and ears." "This thing isn't finalized yet, so it wasn't directly submitted to you.

Cao Cao nodded: "You can recite it in person, and the secretaries will discuss it." Chen Qun said no, I wrote it myself, of course I can recite it, so he took a long breath, and then recited the entire article word for word from beginning to end.

It was Xun Xin who said that this Chen Changwen is good to remember - Chen Qun's essays are simple and concise, without any literary embellishment, to put it bluntly, this kind of application is not rhythmic enough, and the layout is not uniform enough, which is much more difficult to memorize than literary works.

When Chen Qun finished reciting, Cao Cao looked around at everyone: "What do you think?" ”

At the same time, Shihoon secretly observed the expressions of everyone present. Although Chen Qun was quite confident in his own opinions, after all, in the face of a large group of colleagues, he openly discussed before Cao Cao's car, and it was inevitable that he would be nervous; Cao Hong and other martial artists basically didn't understand it, and they were at a loss; Xun You, Liang Mao and the others nodded while listening, and they basically agreed with it; Only Mao Jue still locked his eyebrows and was silent for a long time.

Cao Cao also saw it, and asked directly: "What does Xiaoxian think?" ”

After Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he heard that he was honest and fair, and he was called to be engaged in governance, and he was also regarded as an old minister from Long. In terms of talent, he is not as far as Xun's uncle and nephew, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, etc., but he is loyal to Geng Jie and dares to make a direct admonition, but he can't compare to those people. In addition, Mao Xiaoxian also has a certain overall vision, and the words of "serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate" were actually proposed by him to Cao Cao at the earliest. It's just that Liu Xie was still in the hands of Li and Guo at that time. It's a bit of a vague vision. Therefore, it is not as famous as Xun Yu's dedication.

When Cao Cao really got Liu Xie, moved the capital to Xu County, and served as Sikong, he immediately ordered Mao Jue to be the East Cao Peng and preside over the election affairs - in the original history, it was he and Cui Yan who worked together to select talents for Cao Cao, but this timeline. Cui Jiqi was put on a stand by Shi Xun and failed to come out, and it was Yang Xun who was a giant deer who partnered with Mao Jue.

Therefore, Mao Xiaoxian is not a family, and has presided over the election for many years, Cao Cao and Shixun are quite pinning their hopes on him, hoping that he can understand the loopholes and drawbacks in the Nine Grades Official Law, and preemptively put them out.

Everyone focused their eyes on Mao Jue, Mao Jue raised his hand and raised two fingers: "The strategy of the long article has two things." There are also two mistakes. One of them: Since Huan Ling, the inspection is mostly due to the township Qing discussion. Celebrities and gentlemen in the field, all of them have to talk to each other, get the praise of their words, they can be filial piety, for Maocai, and get the depreciation of their words, and they are hopeless. It is like the chaos of Shaozheng Mao, and Confucius has no choice but to punish him......"

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, relying on the struggle with relatives and eunuchs, a group of famous people emerged from all over the country, and they did not want to be officials - then they would stand on the cusp of the storm, and they would be cut off by relatives or eunuchs - on the surface, they pretended to be detached, but they directly affected the public opinion of Shilin in the field. People who want to be officials often go to the stab and ask for evaluation, if the comments are good, the state and county do not dare not recommend them to the imperial court, if the comments are not good, I am afraid that there is no possibility of being a leader in life.

This trend is not exempt from even Cao Cao, and he has to go to Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang to ask for comments - because Qiao Xuan told him: "You are not famous, you can hand it over to Xu Zijiang." As a result, Xu Shao said: "The son is a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times." Immediately doubled Cao Cao's worth - he was crowned with the halo of "capable minister", as for the "traitorous male...... Who dares to say that the world is a troubled time?

Mao Jue was very disgusted with this vote, saying that they were the likes of Shao Zhengmao, and they did not necessarily have many evil deeds, but they seized the public opinion position that the imperial court should occupy, which would definitely make people's hearts more and more scattered, and the place was larger than the central government, so Confucius had no choice but to kill Shao Zhengmao.

In the feudal era, only one voice was allowed in the whole country, that is, the voice of the imperial court.

Therefore, Mao Jue said, correcting this drawback, so that "the power of inspection is exercised at the top, and not at the bottom", is the first achievement of the Jiupin Official Law. Because according to Chen Qun's plan, Zhongzheng officials were set up in each county to replace the evaluation figures of the opposition celebrities, and these Zhongzheng officials should be filled by actual officials from their own nationality - they are in the system, I don't believe you dare to jump out of the system and do another set.

Shi Xun laughed secretly in his heart: Being in the system but openly anti-system, in fact, he is quite young and old in later generations......

Then Mao Jue said that his "two gains": "Since Dong Zhuo caused chaos, many households have migrated, and even the characters have been broadcast, there is no permanent dynasty, people have no fixed place, and their behavior and morality are not detailed and unchecked." Now let the native people be the right and evaluate their townships, which can eliminate this evil. "Those who are native to their own county are better acquainted with the situation of the scholars in their own county than the magistrates who have just been parachuted in—even if they have been lost to other counties.

Mao Jue said, and everyone nodded. However, the two points raised by Mao Jue, except for Cao Hong and a few other people, the big guys had already understood it when they listened to Chen Qun explain their plans-otherwise, how could they agree with it? So Mao Xiaoxian also said that there are "two losses", and I don't know where the loss is?

Chen Qun gave up his hands and asked sincerely, Mao Jue paused, and said: "I tried the election, and all the counties recommended it, and they all personally observed it. However, they know that I am thrifty, and they come to see him in many cloth clothes, and they are arrested and won the official, and they are covered with silk and Ge outside, and they are narrow and old, and they are extravagant, and their hypocrisy is like this! ”

It's Xunxin who said that you have also noticed it, the top is good, and the bottom will be flattered, the big guys know that you like to be frugal, so naturally they don't dare to wear good clothes to see you. However, everyone has their own desires, and it is impossible for everyone to be as honest and honest as you - I think that I recruited a large number of scholars from Guanzhong, and recommended them to Cao Cao after I came back, so I took care of them in advance: You must wear a little shabby to see Mao Xiaoxian!

But what can be done? You can't see everything about it, there's no way to understand it. Mao Jue, what do you want to say about this example? (To be continued......)
