Xi Wei asked Shixun: "Can a big event be done immediately?" "Yes Xun doesn't need to ask in detail, and he can understand his meaning - you are asking, with Wei Daihan, is the time ripe?

Xi Hongyu thought that Xun would answer him: "Yes." Unexpectedly, Xun Luo groaned, but shook his head slightly: "It's not yet." Xi was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked what the reason was—what conditions were not ripe enough? You can't say that the world hasn't settled yet...... If you really want to wait for Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Shi Xie, etc., then you will get the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue.

Once Cao Cao is the Son of Heaven, we can all ascend to heaven, and go further, at least I don't have to guard a puppet Emperor Han with Xu Du here, as well as a small court with an empty shelf, and suffer from idleness all day long.

Shi Xun reminded Xi Xian: "Lu Bu and Liu Bei, if they are separated, they are not enough, and if they are together, it will be a disaster for the country." If Wei Dynasty Han is used today, Lu Buxiang's back is unknown...... "As for Liu Bei, there is no need to guess, it is definitely opposed-" I am afraid that he will be with Liu Bei. ”

Xi spread his hands and said, what should I do? Do you want to pacify Liangzhou first, and then study the issue of Cao Cao's claim to be emperor?

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "No need." I have sent people to find out Lu Bu's true intentions...... "Of course, Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi are referring to-" and try to guide him to the west. If Bu is willing to be a minister, please take the throne ......" In fact, he said in his heart, even if Lu Bu took the initiative to express his position and ask Cao Cao to be the emperor, we can't believe it - in the original history, didn't Sun Quan instigate Cao Cao like this? Cao Cao immediately sneered: "Do you want to be evil on my fire?" "And later, Cao Pi was called the emperor, and Sun Quan was also called a minister, but in a blink of an eye, didn't he still rebel? Political commitment to this kind of thing. It's never been the most reliable.

However, it is not necessary to analyze it so deeply with Xi Wei. Yeshun just said: "If you wish to be a minister." Please take the throne, or wave the west, and great things can be done. Buxi immediately reversed, and it was difficult to threaten Guanzhong, so the Wei army went to Longlong, to cut off the cold, benefit, and easy to hear. ”

Xi Wei frowned slightly, saying that what you said was reasonable...... Then you estimate. How long will it take for Lu Bu to descend or advance westward? Shi Xun comforted him and said, if there is no big change in the place, I estimate that it will be a year or two to the sky-"Big brother don't be impatient." ”

Xi Wei is a disciple of Zhengmen, so it is customary to call him a brother. It is said that he once called someone a brother, but it is a pity that now that yin and yang are separated, it is difficult to see each other again - that is, Taishi Ci and Taishi Ziyi are also.

Xi said that one or two years is not a long time, so we have to be prepared today. Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what to prepare? Xi Wei smiled and said: "When the Son of Heaven is in the Zen position, then if you can say it." A hundred times more urgent. "Zen let this kind of flowery work, and the one who gives way has to take the initiative. There is no reason for the recipient to rush to ask for it, at least it has to be asked by Hanchen, and then the emperor readily agrees, that is, the edict is issued. But if I wait for the performance, and the emperor doesn't allow it, what a loss of face, and it also seems that the king of Wei is not right? Therefore, it is necessary to prepare accordingly in advance. Moreover, if you can convince the Son of Heaven to make Zen, it is better than forcing him to make Zen at that time.

Shi Xun has been very sensitive recently, and when he heard the word "say", he immediately felt at ease - "The eldest brother recommended me as Shang Shuling, so I have no desire to make me go to the Son of Heaven?" "Xi Xuan said of course, when it comes to the benefit of the tongue, you are the second oldest of the Hongfu number, and no one in the world dares to call it the first-" I also tried to test it, but the Son of Heaven should not. He stood up and took a deep look: "That's why there is Lao Hongfu." ”

Shi Xun waved his hand again and again: "This is a big deal, and let me think about it." "I'll have to think about it, I can't promise you so quickly.

The next morning, I met Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, but it was just a passing scene, and it was insignificant. But I haven't seen him for many years, and when I look at Liu Xie again, the young man's appearance seems to be much more mature - Liu Xie is eight years younger than Shixun (Mao's Xun's birth year), but he is also twenty-nine and thirty, and the beard under his chin is longer than that of Xun, black and shiny, fluttering between his chest and abdomen.

It was Xun Xin who said that this is called "beautiful bearded man", which is much stronger than Guan Yu - is it that you stay idle in the palace and have nothing to do in your daily life? This kind of puppet career is really boring, and I don't know why you are still holding on to it and refusing to let go......

He knelt down to worship the Son of Heaven and accepted the position of Shang Shuling, and Liu Xie weakly encouraged a few words, and then retired from the court. Then Xun went to Shangshutai - Hanzhi Shangshutai still belongs to the Inner Dynasty, and the office is in the palace, in the side compartment of the Zhangtai Palace. Shi Xun used to come and go for business, or visit Xun Yu, and he came a few times, knowing that the place was cramped and cramped, and it was shady, cold in winter and stuffy in summer, I am afraid it is the worst office space in the world.

Think about the same thing in the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the more important the national confidential unit, the more shabby it is. In fact, the reason for this is not surprising, because whether it is Shangshutai or the Military Aircraft Department, they all start from the cold, and they were originally just a temporary shift for the emperor's secretary to take emergency duties, so just find a small place in the palace, and it will be enough. At that time, no one could have imagined that this institution would be able to survive for a long time, and that its staff and authority would expand indefinitely.

However, officialdom has its own inertia, even if temporary institutions become permanent institutions, and ordinary secretaries become uncrowned prime ministers, no one has ever mentioned moving places - the emperor wants his ministers to live like dogs, and the town is prostrate at his feet, and who among the courtiers wants to talk and do more?

Fortunately, the Xudu Palace is modeled after the new construction of the North Palace of Luoyang, Cao Cao felt sorry for Xun Yu, this Shangshutai is also slightly more spacious, it is said that the Shangshutai in the old palace of Luoyang is ten times worse.

Shangshu and the officials, as well as a few eunuchs who were ready to sweep, knew that the new Shangshu was in office today, and they all arched their hands and waited quietly at the door. Shi Xun met one by one - most of them he didn't know, only Han Ji Han Gongzhi had gone to Tan County to announce the edict, and he had a relationship.

Han Ji is a native of Nanyang and once held filial piety, but he refused to go out for many years due to the chaos of the world. He escaped the conscription of Yuan Shu, and then lived in seclusion, Liu Biao asked him to go out of the mountain five times, he finally couldn't let go, but out of Yicheng Mayor, after Cao Jun captured Jingzhou, it was used by Cao Cao, recommended as a book. Theoretically speaking, although this person is backward, he can barely be regarded as a member of the Cao family.

When the Western Han Dynasty became the emperor, he began to set up Shangshutai, divided into four Cao, the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor followed it, and added two Cao, a total of six Cao, set up orders, servants, left and right Cheng, Zhu Cao Shangshu, Zhu Cao Shangshu Shilang, Ling Shi and other positions. Shangshu divided the director of Cao, so later there were delusional people seconding it, saying that this was a harbinger of replacing "Liu" with "Cao".

Shi Xun created the Wei family official system in Anyi, so he deliberately avoided the word "Cao", and changed it to the word "ministry" commonly used in later generations, which was divided into 12 departments, each with a book of orders and a servant, and his subordinates were still divided. However, the official system of the Han Dynasty did not change because of this, and Shangshu was still under the six Cao.

It's just that Xun swept his eyes, and this shortfall is too much. According to the system, Shangshutai has one order, one servant, one member on the left and right, and six Cao each has a book, each Cao has six, a total of thirty-six, in addition to twenty-one Ling Shi who is in charge of the document - it is also a very large yamen. But right now, can there be twenty of them?

Asking Han Ji to know the end, dare to love that today's Shangshutai not only has no order, but also has no servant shooting, no left and right, the six Cao Shangshu are Qi, and the squire and Ling Shi are not even more than two percent - no one has ever thought of supplementing. Besides, those who really want to be officials are going to Anyi, who is willing to come to Xu Du to sit in this kind of central Qingshui Yamen?

Shi Xun couldn't help but secretly curse Hua Xin in his heart, you left me such a mess? So he asked Han Ji: "When Huaziyu is here, how can he be governed?" Han Ji spread his hands: "Hua Gong is less in Taiwan Province, and he does nothing to govern." ”

Shi Xun inquired in detail about the daily work of Shang Shutai, and then he realized that Hua Xin was really not to blame, he could indeed be ruled by doing nothing, and there was no need to add more people. The Eastern Han Dynasty was governed by the inner court, and the affairs of Taiwan Province were quite complicated, but this situation was maintained until the era of Xun Yu as Shang Shuling, and there were gradually changes - Cao Cao was the commonplace, the prime minister, and the construction of the tooth opened the mansion, which itself took away part of the central authority. Later, Xun Yu resigned, Hua Xin succeeded him, Hua Ziyu was not necessarily as capable as Xun Wenruo, but he did not plan to do more, everything relied on Cao Cao's will, and completely turned Shangshutai into an empty shelf.

In the early period of Huaxin, Shangshutai almost became an official document sending and receiving organ, and half of the relevant official documents of the local and central government offices were submitted to the Prime Minister's Office, and half were submitted to the Shangshu, and the Shangshu sorted them, and repackaged and photographed those that were even the slightest involved in state affairs - not the emperor's family affairs and imperial family affairs. After the Prime Minister's Office was dealt with, most of them were directly ordered by the Prime Minister, and only less than 20% of those who needed to "please" the order returned to Shangshutai. Then Shang Shutai copied the handling opinions of the prime minister's government and promulgated the edict.

How light and economical this work is, where can you still use thirty-six squires and twenty-one Ling Shi, seven or eight people are enough to do it.

And when Cao Cao received the state of Anyi, the situation was different, because even the power of the prime minister's office began to shrink, and many official documents could not be transmitted back and forth with Xu Du and Anyi - it would take more than ten days to come and go, so it would be a lot of delays. Therefore, Thailand's semi-state affairs were sent directly to Anyi, and Shangshutai even reduced the work of sending and receiving official documents by seventy. As a result, there is a shortage of officials, and Hua Xin never fills it.

And it wasn't until Shixun officially entered Shangshutai that he really realized the depth of Hua Ziyu's intentions - I rely on such a small place to squeeze more than 60 people? Just kidding! Now that there are less than twenty people seated, how spacious it is, and the office environment has become much more comfortable—although it is still like a dog kennel compared to the desk in Anyi that he originally served.

Okay, then I'll continue to follow the rules and be cured by inaction.

Just like this, he played in Shangshutai for a long time, and before he got off work, he flashed first. Duzhong had already arranged a mansion for him, and he was directing his subordinates to clean it up - of course, he first sorted out the master's study. It was Xun who paced into the study, that is, summoned Guan Jing and Zhou Budo to meet them, and secretly discussed with them about lobbying the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Budo shook his head again and again: "No." "The emperor has Taishi by his side at all times, recording words and deeds, and what you say to the Son of Heaven will also be recorded, once it is passed on to future generations, what will others think of you?" That is, if the foreign minister talks about Zen, he will be infamous, and Mr. Guo is the in-law of the Cao family? It is better to conspire to teach Gong Xi, and Gong Xi can also make suggestions. ”

Shi Xun smiled faintly: "Why worry about it - I don't dare to have a good name now." (To be continued......)
