Zhong Xuan's words, Liu Yu was a little dissatisfied.

The ambitious people in the south began to move, and could it be that the imperial court was indifferent?

But he didn't interject, but cautiously observed Liu Wei's attitude.

He has not returned to Beijing for many years, and His Majesty in front of him is a little rusty, compared to a few years ago, the city government is deeper, his behavior is not so direct, and the emperor's mind is already deeply rooted in his heart.

After listening to Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan's words, Liu Wei gained a deeper understanding of the complexity of the situation in the south.

There is no one who is easy to match, and Yuan Shao's sudden move may have hidden a more insidious mind.

Liu Wei pondered again and again, looked up at Liu Yu, and said, "Da Sima Mansion immediately came up with a response plan, and I will see it at night." In addition, Shang Shutai and Da Sima Mansion respectively issued orders requiring all southern generals, state pastors, and county guards to prepare and wait for the will! ”

Liu Yu's expression perked up, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister's order!" ”

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan looked at Liu Wei and looked at each other for a moment, and each saw uneasiness and a certain determination in the eyes of both sides.

Xun Yu took a deep breath, his face gradually became firm, he raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already discussed it, and in the 'New Deal', add more major policies and national policies about land, and it will be written soon, please ask Your Majesty for your approval!" ”

Liu Wei's eyes were scorching, he sat up straight and said: "Pan Yin, immediately pass the decree, promote Xun Yu to prime minister, Xun Yu to shoot the left servant, Sima Jun to participate in political affairs, and lead each Cao!" ”

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be 'concurrently leading each Cao', so he raised his hand and said: "The minister's decree." ”

"No courtesy."

Liu Wei said lightly.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Xun Yu and the others insisted on not expressing their position, he could only replace the prime minister, which was undoubtedly a huge damage to his long-term layout!

Fortunately, Xun Yu, Zhong Yu and others were generally knowledgeable, and finally compromised.

Xun Yu got up, and his heart was inexplicably relieved and relaxed.

His Majesty in front of him is too stubborn, stubborn and dangerous.

Liu Yu remained silent, but he became more and more curious and vigilant about the dumb riddle of the three gentlemen and ministers.

It wasn't until this moment that he deeply understood how complicated the situation was.

Liu Wei explained a few more words, and Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Liu Yu left at the same time.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed.

carried Xun Yu into the main Shangshutai, of course, because of Xun Yu's ability, but also because Xun Yu had no qualifications.

In the past, he needed Yang Biao's prestige to stabilize the hearts of the world's scholars and stabilize the situation in the court, so that he could gradually regain power.

And now, he is in power, and his goal is to implement the 'New Deal', so he needs a capable but not prestigious prime minister, only in this way, can he implement his will!

For many big figures in the government and the opposition, the qualifications of Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You and other 'Yingchuan Party' are too shallow.

After pondering in his heart for a while, Liu Wei's eyes fell on Liu Yu again.

This Taiwei, one of the three dukes when Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, was the same as Ding Gong and Liu Hong.

But the 'Three Princes' have long existed in name only, and they have He Jin, the general who recorded Shangshushi, and there are eunuchs in the palace, which can be said to be in vain.

After Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, in a series of battles with He Jin and the Yuan family, the position of these three was biased towards 'neutrality', and the relationship with the Yuan family was unpredictable.

In the end, Liu Yu was sent back to Youzhou by Liu Wei, while Ding Gong and Liu Hong were sent together under pressure.

Liu Yu is the only survivor of the three of them.

However, after being recalled to Beijing for many years, this time, his attitude was very different from the past, and he had a belligerent style.

Although he was Zhong Xuan's old boss, he was not close to Zhong Xuan, but had some-for-tat meaning.

'Looks like we'll have to look at ...... again'

Liu Wei was thoughtful.

Not only to see Liu Yu's true attitude, but also to see what he would do in the Great Sima Mansion.

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Liu Yu came out of the Chongde Palace, Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan kept talking, while Liu Yu was an outsider, listening quietly.

"Prime Minister, Zhong Servant shoots slowly." In front of the Jiade Palace, Liu Yu suddenly raised his hand towards the two of them.

Xun Yu, how dare Zhong Yu hold it up, and hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Liu Gong walks slowly." ”

In front of the Jiade Palace, the three of them rarely saluted each other and respected each other.

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan walked towards Shang Shutai, the edict will be issued soon, and they can make some preparations.

In the past, Shangshutai was still very lively, but under a series of changes, it is now empty, and only low-level officials are busy.

For the arrival of the two, they knew that what had been scheduled to happen was about to happen, and they all greeted each other, and they did not dare to slack off.

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan explained a few words, and then sat down in a side room.

Zhong Xuan thought about the things in the palace, sighed lightly, and said, "Have you thought about how to explain when you go back?" ”

The reason why Xun Yu can sit on an equal footing with Xun Yu is that most of them take advantage of the seniority, and in terms of age, qualifications, and even ability, in the eyes of the 'Yingchuan Party', they can't compare to Xun Yu.

And Zhong Xuan has been in the Tingwei Mansion before, running around, and he is not good at forming gangs, so the real leader of the 'Yingchuan Party' is actually Xun You.

Now Xun Yu has made it clear in the palace that if he wants to increase the goal of 'dividing land' in the 'New Deal', he must persuade Xun Yu, who has always been opposed.

Xun Yu was not too worried about Xun Yu, and looked at Zhong Yu and said: "Shangshutai, Da Sima Mansion, Liucao and Qingzhou have basically been completed and complete. And for the south, the various arrangements are also quietly complete. Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu were basically surrounded. ”

Zhong Xuan responded to Xun Yu's gaze, his heart shook slightly, and he suddenly sat up straight, almost losing his voice: "You mean, Your Majesty, are you ready to calm the chaos?" ”

Xun Yu looked unmoved, and said: "I talked to Huangfu Jianshou, the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army camp have been rotated everywhere in recent years, except for Youzhou, the elite soldiers and strong generals are basically in the forbidden army camp, and this year will be transferred to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, Cao Cao still has 50,000 troops in his hands, and the total number of troops added up, His Majesty can fully grasp the army, more than 100,000!" ”

Zhong Xuan's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Stop Your Majesty!" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and looked at Zhong Yu silently.

Zhong Xuan's mind was clear, and he woke up and said, "You mean, Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the Great War in the South to forcibly promote the 'division of land'?" ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth this time and said: "It may not be rolled out, but if you make some preliminary preparations, you can open the opening without causing major changes." Under the cover of the Great War in the South, the government and the opposition may not be able to react. ”

Zhong Xuan's eyes flickered, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

Xun Yu's guess is very much in line with the temperament of the palace.

But it's a huge adventure!

First, the imperial court had no money and food, and could not support the war. Second, the 'division of the land' will arouse the anger of the nobles, and may provoke great changes. Third, those ambitious people in the south got the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to sit big!

Each of these is extremely detrimental to the imperial court and the Han Dynasty!

Zhong Miao was shocked, and couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he had to say: "Since you see it, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu was calm and calm, and said: "The key is still on Liu Gong." ”

Liu Yu, the new Grand Sima.

Zhong Yu suddenly understood what Xun Yu meant, muttered again and again, and said, "Okay, I'll go to visit Gong Liu in the evening." ”

After saying this, Xun Yu got up and said, "Let's go." Gongda, Zhicai is afraid that he is in a hurry. ”

Zhong Xuan suppressed his thoughts and nodded.

The two of them explained a few more words in Shangshutai, and then hurriedly left the palace.

When he arrived at Hu Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xun You had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming in, Xi Zhicai said with a solemn expression: "Not long ago, King Chen Liuwang told me that His Majesty will not lack Cao, Hu Cao." He came to me on purpose, and the palace may really have the idea of changing the prime minister! ”

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan didn't expect such a play, but he didn't have any expression.

The two sat down one after another, and Zhong Xuan said, "It's not a big deal. The palace will soon issue an order, and you will still have your own Cao. ”

Xun You noticed the expressions of the two and said, "What happened?" ”

Zhong Yu was very 'subordinate conscious', and said before Xun Yu: "It's nothing. The main thing is that Yuan Shao in the south has changed. In addition, Wen Ruo and I promised His Majesty that we would promote the 'division of land' in the 'New Deal'. ”

Xun You's worried face gradually turned expressionless, his tone was implicitly angry, and he said, "Don't you know the consequences? ”

Zhong Miao pretended to sigh and said, "It's just to show an attitude, but the matter is still the same thing, and there is no change from what we negotiated before." ”

They believe that the 'New Deal' has not been implemented thoroughly, that it has sufficient control over the localities, and that the 'division of land' is just empty talk.

Therefore, the word 'drag' was adopted, and the requirements of the palace were delayed.

Where would Xun You believe it, he ignored Zhong Xuan, stared at Xun You and said, "Uncle Clan, it should be the prime minister now." Do you know that just this news is enough to break you and me, the Xun family, right? ”

Xun Yu was silent for a while, and said: "This matter, at least for ten years, is not possible, Your Majesty has not made it clear, as long as we keep our mouths shut, this matter is not as terrifying as expected." ”

Xun You sneered and said, "Even if the four of us are tight-lipped, can Your Majesty wait for ten years?" Taxes are decreasing every year, while spending is increasing. Once there is another civil unrest in Qingdao, Yan and other places, do you think Your Majesty will endure it forever? ”

Seeing Xun You's fierce reaction, Zhong Xuan glanced at Xi Zhicai, and said, "Zhicai, Chen Liuwang only told you this?" ”

Xi Zhicai was also opposed to the 'division of land', but he was not as direct as Xun You, and said in a deep voice: "King Chen Liuwang seems to be ordering us something, but I can't think about it thoroughly. ”

"Hmph,"

Xun Yu snorted, ignored Zhong Xuan's change of topic, and said to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, what we have to do now is to use the 'New Deal' as an excuse to eliminate maladministration and revitalize the imperial court." Instead of adding to the chaos, I am opposed to you adding the content of 'dividing the land'. When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will be clear to your majesty face to face! ”

Seeing that the 'clan uncle' had become the 'prime minister', Zhong Xuan couldn't help but worry, and reminded with a serious face: "Gongda, you know your majesty's attitude very well, and King Chen Liu's message may be directed at you." Wen Ruo's prime minister can not, and so can your official Cao Shangshu! ”

Xun You's face did not change, but became more and more determined, and said: "I am a person who cares about official position and power? 'Dividing the land' will inevitably cause chaos in the world, and it will never be feasible! Don't talk about this official Cao Shangshu, even if he cut off my head, I won't agree! ”

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Xi Zhicai hurriedly interjected: "Gongda is angry. It's not like we're in conflict. In my opinion, we might as well go and see. At present, there is no possibility of 'dividing land', and it is still necessary to steadily promote the 'New Deal' and eliminate maladministration. As long as the maladministration is eliminated and the rule of officials is clarified, the situation in the government and the opposition will inevitably be the majority. At that time, perhaps it will not be by His Majesty's temperament. ”

Xun You was very annoyed, but he didn't lose his mind, his face was calm, and he said: "This matter can't be announced, how can it begin?" I don't agree, and I don't accept it at all! ”

Seeing that Xun Yu was so resolute, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look at Xun Yu and Zhong Yu with a little headache.

Xun You has been in Cao Shangshu for many years, not only the big and small officials of Luoyang City, but also the northern states, and there are people appointed everywhere.

If he insists on opposing it, the court will also have a lot of resistance if it wants to implement it.

Xun Yu and Zhong Yu also understood Xun Yu's Zhong Xuan, coupled with their relationship with each other, they never thought that they would break up because of national politics.

Xun Yu's expression was calm, and he said, "Gongda, five years." Five years later, how will you be prime minister? ”

Zhong Xuan, Xi Zhicai was shocked when he heard this, he never expected that Xun Yu would make such a promise!

Even Xun Yu was stunned and looked at Xun Yu with wide eyes.

The position of prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand, who doesn't want to sit for a lifetime?

Xun Yu's surprised gaze did not fluctuate, and said: "As long as you don't make a sound, after five years, I will protect you as prime minister." ”

Xun You and Xun Yu looked at each other, opened their mouths, and did not make a sound.

It's not that he covets the position of prime minister, but that Xun Yu has shown such a great 'sincerity' that he can't continue to speak.

Xun Yu is his uncle and prime minister, and he will not be ruthless until he has to, or even tear his face.

In the small value room, the quiet pin drop can be heard.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Xuan saw that Xun Yu didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "Gongda, I will also protect you." ”

Xi Zhicai was worried that Xun You would continue to insist, and the two uncles and nephews, the most prominent of today, would part ways, and followed: "Gongda, things haven't reached that level. You have also seen Wen Ruo's difficulties, for the time being, let's follow Your Majesty, how about going all the way? ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Xun Yu frowned, and looked at Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu's expression was calm and his eyes were clear.

Xun You was uncomfortable in his heart, but he still sighed and said, "That's it." It's really not a rush to do it. Let's talk about the South. ”

Zhong Xuan, Xi Zhi saw Xun Yu loosen his mouth, glanced at each other, and the tense boulder in his heart fell to the ground abruptly.

Xun Yu recalled the feeling in the palace again, and shook his head secretly, somewhat realizing the situation that Yang Biao once had.

This time, without waiting for Zhong Xuan to speak, Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shao's sudden dispatch of troops, I suspect that there is another reason. I received the news that Cao Cao had written a number of letters to various shogunates in the south, nominally contacting the old friends, and I guessed that Cao Cao might have used a discordant strategy. ”
