"Husband, it's late at night, so let's rest early." Late at night, the study of Lu Rui, the general of Zhengbei, was still lit, and Cao Jie walked into the study and asked Lu Rui to rest early.

"Okay, Jie'er, I'll take a look at the bamboo slips and go to rest, you go to rest first!" Lu Rui smiled and patted Cao Jie's jade hand.

"Well, don't watch too late, husband." Cao Jie closed the door and returned to the bedroom.

Nine products in the positive system! Lu Rui wrote the new nine-product zhongzheng system on the bamboo slips, which was based on Chen Qun's nine-product zhongzheng system and adapted from the knowledge of later generations, mainly used to strengthen Cao Cao's rule, all of which originated from the discussion of the prime minister's mansion after today's early dynasty.

After the early dynasty, Cao Cao recruited his henchmen to the chamber of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu still refused Cao Cao's edict because of his physical discomfort, although Cao Cao was a little angry, but because of Xun Yu's achievements, he still ordered someone to go and comfort him.

"Fengxiao, what are the movements of those ministers in the court?" Cao Cao had just descended from the palace with a look of displeasure on his face, and it was already the third day, and the courtiers who supported Liu Xie and the courtiers of the neutral faction did not go to the court to discuss politics for various reasons.

"Back to the prime minister, there is no change in those officials, it seems that they are all cultivating at home, and they are not seriously ill according to the spies."

"Hmph, of course I'm not seriously ill, these are all for Prime Minister Ben!" Cao Cao threw away a bamboo slip in his hand, which was a leave letter written by one of the courtiers to Cao Cao.

"How should this prime minister respond?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd, hoping that someone could give a good suggestion.

"Prime Minister, the new law on the election of officials promulgated by His Majesty is now being discussed in the places controlled by our army. If we solve this problem. in order to deal with the ministers in the court. Guo Jia arched his hand. Returning to Cao Cao.

"Bong-hyo? Do you mean that I agree to His Majesty's method of selecting officials? ”

"Fengxiao, you are also born in the Hanmen, although my Cao family is a big family, but the rise is not more than three generations, if it is in accordance with His Majesty's method of selecting officials, I am afraid that the talents of the Hanmen will not be able to be used by the country, if so, I am afraid that our army can get a temporary talent." After a long time, I lost the heart of the world's talents! Cao Cao's method of selecting officials for Liu Xie has been studied by Cao Cao many times, and Cao Cao has seen the pros and cons, and he can't make up his mind.

"Prime Minister, Jia also knows the pros and cons of this law, but this law is too tempting for hundreds of officials, and the prime minister fights Dong Zhuo with his own strength, enters Xuzhou, Pingjiangdong two counties, west into Xiliang, and drives out Ma Chao. A generation of heroes, if the prime minister does not agree with this method of electing officials. Naturally, there is no hindrance, but if it is the heir of the prime minister, I don't know if this law can be suppressed? Guo Jia's tone of voice became smaller and smaller, and his head gradually lowered.

"Prime Minister, Yu agrees with Feng Xiao's suggestion, please think twice!" Cheng Yu also heard the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and also suggested that Cao Cao think about it.

"This?" Cao Cao also understood what Guo Jia meant, Cao Cao is a hero who fights with a knife and a gun, if the Cao family goes further in the future, Cao Cao will be the founder of the country. Cao Cao has the means and courage, he can kill people and establish authority, and it is also possible to insist on stopping Liu Xie's method of electing officials.

But this power was limited to Cao Cao's use, and Cao Cao's heirs did not. Even if it is no longer reasonable for the founding king to kill people, he still has the majesty to suppress his subordinates. The successor is not a man who fights the world, there is no majesty, he can only convince people with virtue, this method of electing officials is too tempting, and Cao Cao's successor may not be able to suppress those who support this method of electing officials.

"Prime Minister, Rui thinks that it is proposed by His Majesty, it is better to improve it by our army, and then promulgate a new law on the election of officials, so that the power will be concentrated in the hands of the prime minister, and it will be implemented as soon as possible, and it can be held in the hands of the prime minister, if it is implemented later, I am afraid that the people of the Cao family will not be able to control it!" Lu Rui also suggested to Cao Cao that the temptation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was too great, and Cao Pi relied on compromise to become the emperor.

"Oh? What's the best way to do it? Cao Cao listened to Lu Rui's words, his eyes lit up, this method of electing officials was proposed by Liu Xie, Liu Xie has already taken the lead, if it is improved by the Cao family, it is the Cao family's thing, and the initiative is in the Cao family.

"Prime Minister, Rui already has some thoughts in his heart, but this system is too complicated, Rui has to go back to his home and write it into a table, and then present it to the Prime Minister." Although Lu Rui had already prepared for the new nine-product Zhongzheng system, Lu Rui couldn't say how to change the nine-product Zhongzheng system for a while, so he had to go back to the house and think about it carefully to form the best expression.

"Okay, extraordinary, this matter will be like this first, and I will leave it to you, if it is after you write the statement, we will discuss it."

"No!"

The new Jiupin Zhongzheng system has been in Lu Rui's mind for many days, and Lu Rui returned to the house and began to write the expression.

Lu Rui's new nine-product zhongzheng system is based on Chen Qun's nine-product zhongzheng system in history. The officials are divided into nine grades, each of which is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. At the same time, the level of official character is also the criterion for determining the descendants of Enyin. The criteria for selecting officials every year are also according to the rank of officials, and the children of officials can be preferentially entered as officials, which is the same as the old nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The only difference is that this is not the only method of selecting officials in the nine grades.

Every three years, the prime minister can elect officials throughout the country, and they will be awarded grades according to their abilities. Regardless of the birth of this elected official, only on ability, all standards are in the hands of the prime minister. Finally, the new nine-rank Zhongzheng system also separates the selection of generals below the third rank, and holds a martial arts conference every year to select middle- and lower-level officers based on personal force and military strategy. This method of selecting officials was in the hands of the general of the chariot cavalry.

Lü Rui's method of selecting officials was based on Chen Qun's nine-rank zhongzheng system, which divided the way of selecting officials and greatly strengthened Cao Cao's power. On the second day, Lu Rui gave the new Jiupin Zhongzheng to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also felt that it was feasible after discussing with everyone, and decided to fight back against Liu Xie at the next court meeting.

"Long live Your Majesty!" Soon it was time for another day's pilgrimage.

"Everyone loves Qing's body!" Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, in a happy mood, these days of the court meeting, Liu Xie was very happy, Cao Cao and others did not report anything to the court, and did not ask Liu Xie too much, this is the usual court meeting can not enjoy the treatment.

At the same time, at the court meeting, Cao Cao's people did not speak, but Liu Xie said a lot of inconsequential things, which made Liu Xie feel extremely honored, and he finally became an emperor who could talk once.

"Prime Minister Cao. I don't know what I said some time ago about being an official. Did the prime minister consult with his ministers? Whether there is a result. Can you tell me? "As soon as Liu Xie went to the court, he began to ask Cao Cao, after so many days, Cao Cao, you must give an explanation, otherwise you will have no face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has already made a resolution, after the discussion between the old minister and the ministers, the general Zhengbei proposed a new system of electing officials, and the old minister believes that its system is superior to His Majesty's election system. Therefore, the old minister decided to use General Lu's system as the new method of selecting officials for the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao smiled, Liu Xie was really naïve, thinking that a system of electing officials could stump Cao Cao, what a joke!

"Prime Minister? You. Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, Cao Cao actually made a decision without discussing it in the court, Cao Cao didn't take the court of the Han Dynasty seriously, thinking that the Han was really the Cao family? I, Liu Xie, are not dead yet!

"Cao Cao, you are presumptuous, the system of electing officials is a major policy of the country, how can you allow you to make a decision alone? What are you a courtier? What are you as Your Majesty? Kong Rong immediately stood up. Scolding Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao heard Kong Rong's reprimand, he did not get angry. Instead, Cheng Yu was given a color, and Cheng Yu immediately understood. Cheng Yu withdrew from the court and walked out of the hall.

"Lord Kong, the resolution of this prime minister is not the resolution of one person, but the resolution of the ministers, Lord Kong, don't wronged the prime minister." Cao Cao smiled at Kong Rong, revealing a disdainful expression.

"General Xiahou has arrived!" Kong Rong was about to refute Cao Cao, when suddenly the guards shouted, General Xiahou is here.

"Minister Xia Houdun participates in Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Xiahoudun came to the top of the hall in a military uniform and a sword.

"General Xiahou? General Xiahou, aren't you in Qingzhou? How can you return to Xudu? When Liu Xie saw Xiahoudun, he was shocked in his heart, could it be that Cao Cao was going to use military power to oppress people again?

"The old minister returned to Your Majesty, and General Xiahou was recruited back to Xu Capital by the old minister. The system of electing officials is the major policy of the country, and the major policy has changed, and I am afraid that there will be villains, so the minister specially invited General Xiahou to come back and garrison Xudu. Cao Cao arched his hand and replied to Liu Xie.

"This?" Liu Xie listened to Cao Cao's words, and it was not easy to refute it, Cao Cao was the prime minister, the commander-in-chief of the government, and the mobilization of the army to return to Xudu was also a matter within the power. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty was very powerful, with the power to dispose of hundreds of officials and the ability to transfer troops.

Kong Rong looked at Xiahou Dun, who was dressed in military uniform, and knew that today's general trend was irreversible, so he only glared at Cao Cao and retreated into the ranks of the ministers.

"Chen Lu Rui reports to His Majesty the new election system, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Rui also stood up, and the new Jiupin Zhongzheng system still had to be explained by Lu Rui.

"Quasi-play!" Liu Xie waved his hand and sat on the dragon chair blankly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The new official election system that the minister wants is called the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System, and the so-called official products are divided into nine grades, and each grade is divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower." Subsequently, Lu Rui reported the new nine-product Zhongzheng system he had written to Liu Xie.

"This is Rui's idea, please Your Majesty!" Lu Rui arched his hand and retreated among the ministers.

As soon as Lu Rui's words fell, the ministers began to whisper. Everyone in Lu Rui's nine-product zhongzheng system can hear it very clearly, especially the part of the descendants of Enyin, those who are capable can inherit the taste from generation to generation, and keep the wealth forever so that the ministers can hear it in their hearts, if Lu Rui's nine-product zhongzheng system is implemented, their children and grandchildren will be guaranteed.

"Your Majesty, this method of selecting officials has been engraved into a document and handed over to the hundred officials to read, and the hundred officials have the intention of supporting the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, please Your Majesty!" Cao Cao saw that the ministers were almost talking, and immediately stood up and forced Liu Xie to agree.

"Prime Minister, when did you make this article? It was also handed over to the hundred officials to read, why didn't Rong receive it? As soon as Kong Rong heard Cao Cao's words, he was anxious, all the officials got the engraved expression, why didn't he get it?

When most of the ministers heard Cao Cao's words, they were also stunned for a moment, and they didn't seem to have received any expressions.

"Lord Kong, the Prime Minister has carved General Lu's inscription into thousands of bamboo slips, which are presented to all the adults by the family in the house, why is it that only Lord Kong has not received it? Master Kong, don't think you're a saint and then talk nonsense and do such things that refer to deer as horses! Cheng Yu immediately stood up and scolded Kong Rong.

"Lord Cheng, you." Kong Rong was confused, he really didn't receive any bamboo slips, and he was very angry in his heart.

Refer to the deer as a horse! Some smart ministers understood when they heard these four words, this is Cao Cao to do something to point the deer as a horse, originally Cao Cao just didn't burn the table text for the ministers, Cao Cao is trying to test the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has discussed the nine-grade Zhongzheng system with hundreds of officials, and the Prime Minister believes that this system should be implemented as soon as possible, first, the new law can replace the old law, and second, the heart of the ministers in the court can be stabilized, and the whole will assist Your Majesty and revive the Han Dynasty!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Guo Jia also stood up and made suggestions to Liu Xie.

"Although the minister is a military general, he also thinks that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a way to replace the old system, please give your Majesty's permission!" Xiahou clenched his fists and suggested to Liu Xie.

It turned out that Cao Cao was a combination of grace and power, coercing the ministers! At this time, the clever official had already guessed what Cao Cao meant. Cao Cao wants to tell the ministers that his determination to implement the nine-product zhongzheng system cannot be changed, but this nine-product zhongzheng system is to strengthen Cao Cao's power, if the ministers agree, it is to share the wealth and grace of the descendants, otherwise, the soldiers brought back by Xiahoudun are not vegetarians!

Human nature is ugly, and the nine-product Zhongzheng system proposed by Lu Rui can allow the children and grandchildren of officials to enjoy high benefits and open a broad road for officials. The balance in the hearts of the hundred officials was already inclined to Cao Cao, and when they heard the singing and harmony of Cao Cao's henchmen, the ministers all understood, follow Cao Cao, have good wine and meat, glory and wealth, and follow Liu Xie, only to drink the northwest wind.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the minister has carefully read the text of the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System, and thinks that it is indeed a move to benefit the country and the people, please allow Your Majesty!" A neutral official finally took the first step and made it clear that he supported Cao Cao and no longer did two things.

Both grasses expressed their positions, and Cao Cao's henchmen naturally stood up in unison to support Lu Rui's Jiupin Zhongzheng system. Although the courtiers who supported Liu Xie wanted to oppose Cao Cao in their hearts, the temptation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was too great, and they wanted to support Cao Cao if they wanted to favor the descendants. The courtiers who supported Liu Xie all lowered their heads and were silent.

Hum! A group of people who want to be bitches and want to set up a torii. Seeing the appearance of supporting Liu Xie's ministers, Lu Rui sneered in his heart that they were all people who were for their own interests, thinking that the world would call them the loyalty of the Han Dynasty, and they wanted to implement the nine-grade Zhongzheng system and favor their descendants.

"The minister thinks that this is a great move for the benefit of the country and the people, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" Lu Rui stood up again and put pressure on Liu Xie.

"This?" Liu Xie looked at the top of the hall, and knelt down to the black pressure of the ministers, all of whom supported Lu Rui's Jiupin Zhongzheng system. There were too many, but a dozen or so people didn't kneel. Liu Xie looked at the people who didn't kneel again, these were Liu Xie's diehards, but they all lowered their heads and were silent.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wisdom, you should be as good as a stream, and the old minister asks Your Majesty to think twice." Cao Cao stood up again and persecuted Liu Xie.

"This?" After Liu Xie listened to Lu Rui's Jiupin Zhongzheng system, he had already understood Cao Cao's ambitions, and concentrated the power of electing officials in the hands of the prime minister and the general of the chariot cavalry, these two official positions are now on Cao Cao's body, and Cao Cao wants to empty himself.

"Your Majesty, please grant permission!" Cao Cao accentuated his tone and continued to coerce Liu Xie.

"Just according to the Prime Minister's words." Liu Xie sat down on the dragon chair and said a few words weakly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Cao Cao arched his hand and smiled smugly. (To be continued......)
