The central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty followed the system of three princes and nine secretaries, with the three princes leading the nine secretaries as the basic structure.

The three princes are chiefs and hundreds of bureaucrats, nominally the highest official position, but in fact have no actual power.

The Eastern Han Dynasty appointed the three princes to be well-known scripture teachers to promote the concept of governing the country through economics, which was just a political vase to put it bluntly, and the risk was extremely high. The three dukes are often respected models, so they often take on very serious responsibilities for small mistakes to show their high integrity. Some people were dismissed because there was no basis for evaluating the magistrates, some people were dismissed because their colleagues were disrespectful in the temple dispute and did not play the matter (note: it was the colleagues who argued about the dishonor, and the three dukes just did not complain), and some people were imprisoned or killed because of their outspokenness, and even their family members committed suicide.

It is not difficult to see that the Three Princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were used to set an example and carry the blame......

The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty used Shangshu to participate in government affairs, so the actual political power was in Shangshutai.

Shangshu, originally one of the six monks, and Shang Guan, Shang Yi, Shang Shi, Shang Mu, Shang Xi, there was this official office during the Warring States Period. There is still the meaning of being in charge, which means that he is in charge of the emperor's things, so most of the six Shang are in the scope of female officials in the palace, and the responsibilities of the remaining five Shang in the Han Dynasty have not changed much, but Shangshu has gradually become an important member of the government, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty selected Shangshu and Shizhong to form an inner dynasty, becoming a central decision-making organ in the actual sense.

The chief official of Shangshutai is Shangshu Ling, and the deputy Shangshu servant shoots, and there are Shangshu left and right, and six Cao Shangshu and so on. When the emperor ascended the throne, he often used Taifu or Taiwei to record Shangshu affairs and lead government affairs, so Shangshu Ling basically became a vacant position, so the Shangshu servant who was originally a deputy position became more important.

There is a person who has some history with Shangshutai.

This person is Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is a rare wise man in the Liangzhou Army, and he is usually low-key, but he has an obvious brand of the Liangzhou Army, and he is a fellow traveler trusted by the generals of Liangzhou. Jia Xu didn't like to be in the limelight, Li Ru was strategizing in front of him, and Jia Xu was happy to be a passerby, but after Li Ru's death, Jia Xu's importance to the Liangzhou Army quickly became prominent. There is no way, some of the Liangzhou army are warriors who charge into battle, but there are very few who have wisdom and can take charge alone, you must know that the Liangzhou army has improper means of taking the position, worrying that the princes from all walks of life will oppose it, and the important official positions with real power must be handed over to their own family members to rest assured, Jia Xu is already the most important think tank of the Liangzhou army, and it naturally has to be reused.

According to historical records, the Liangzhou Army thanked Jia Xu for instigating the occupation of Chang'an, and Li Wei appointed him as Zuo Fengyi, directly let him control the Sanfu Heavy Land and wanted to make him a marquis, which shows the trust in him, but Jia Xu insisted on not accepting it; Li Wei appointed him to be the servant of Shangshu, in view of the fact that the military head of Liangzhou has never put the three dukes in charge of the nominal affairs, and changed the three dukes to play in three days, Jia Xu is the actual person in charge of Shangshutai, in a sense, he is the supreme administrator of the Han Dynasty, and the existence of the powerful Taotian, but Jia Xu still resolutely refuses to accept it. Li Dao had no choice, so in the end he had to let him serve as Shangshu.

In the game, Jia Xu was captured by the Zhulu Army before he arrived in Chang'an, and it was no longer fun to serve as a scholar in the central government, but the officials of Ba County could still do it. Judging from the expansion momentum of the Zhulu Territory, as well as Jia Xu's own deep-rooted concept of self-preservation, staying away from the whirlpool of the court may not be a good thing in a relatively simple local county, at least in Yu Buzhi's view, Jia Xu should happily and desperately work for the rise of Ba County......

The gossip is over, back to the point.

The Eastern Han Dynasty Shangshutai has been in power for a long time, and the reason why there is such a low-level cognitive error is entirely due to the misreading caused by Yu Buzhi and ignorance of the Central Vocational Administration, and his own cleverness to explain the words of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries.

finally found Shang Shutai and asked the guards, but the reality made Yu Buzhi cry and laugh.

Shang Shuling is vacant.

Well, this is a normal phenomenon, after all, the tradition is that the three princes are named, and then the Shangshu order is also in name only, which only adds embarrassment. But the problem is that there is no main job, what is the operation of the deputy Shangshu servant who has been on sick for more than half a month?

Shangshu left and right, one was arrested and sent to prison for offending the family members of the Liangzhou army, and the other hung up the seal and left!

Liucao Shangshu is slightly better, at least four are on the job, and the incumbency rate is more than half, which is gratifying and congratulatory, but listening to several guards in Shangshutai, at least two Shangshu resigned before, which made the Liangzhou army angry, and threatened to use the head of the guy who didn't know how to lift, and the Shangshu were frightened and didn't dare to mention the resignation.

was forcibly suppressed in this way, the remaining officials in Shangshutai were obviously not in a good mood, the department was leaderless, the morale of the whole was low, and they didn't dare to run away, so they had to have a mixed life without a match. Now Shangshutai, by the four Shangshu take turns on duty, but the atmosphere is dull and pessimistic, everyone only seeks merit but no fault, almost inefficient at all, fortunately now the princes are divided, the central government has not much to do, most of the time the door can be crowded, but can barely cope, there is no serious leakage for the time being.

Yu Buzhi came to Shangshutai to do things, and was highly valued by Shangshutai officials.

Why?

One is too idle; The second is that Yu Buzhi has always had an excellent reputation among the government and the opposition, and it is in the limelight for the country's opening up; The third is that this is a genuine local prince, since the battle against Dong Zhuo, no local prince has appeared in the center, although the player princes do not have so many scruples, it is also a thing worth mentioning.

Cao Shangshu, the official and the people, happened to be working in the official office, and when they heard the news, they jointly "met" with Yu Buzhi.

The rank of the county guard is 2,000 stones, and the rank of Shangshu is 600 stones, and the official position of Yu Buzhi is greater, but Shangshutai is the central establishment and the center of government affairs, and the resources that can be mobilized and the influence of the policies set are far more than those of the county guard. In addition, it is in Chang'an, the home of Shangshu, and it is not an exaggeration to describe this meeting with "reception".

The two Shangshu are obviously full of curiosity about Yu Buzhi, and the legendary player princes have made contributions to the Han Dynasty many times, and their achievements in foreign wars are particularly commendable, which inevitably makes people curious.

When we met for the first time, we routinely said a few words about the scene and praised each other before getting to the point.

When Yu Unwise explained his intentions, the two Shangshu looked obviously uneasy.

"Thinking that Liu Junlang is a relative of the Han family, the first emperor asked him to shepherd Yizhou, and he should have done his best, but for his own selfishness, he refused to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the state pastor, did not take over the plateau stronghold, and claimed that he must see the official document of the imperial court before making a decision, no, I can only come to Chang'an in person to seek justice...... Two adults, what? Seeing that the faces of the two were wrong, Yu Buzhi stopped and asked.

The two Shangshu exchanged glances, and they could clearly see a bit of melancholy and helplessness in their eyes.

Cao Shangshu said: "Unwise adults, this matter is difficult. ”

Mincao Shangshu also said: "My lord, listen to me, go back quickly, and Hugh will mention this matter again." ”

After saying that, the two of them got up at the same time, made a salute and turned to leave, showing that they were unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the enclave, and they had their own small officials to send Yu Buzhi away.
