Liu Xie is a Ming Jun, and the first thing he did after returning to the capital was to discuss with Lin Mo and Lu Bu the candidates for the Three Princes and Nine Princes.

Lu Bu was naturally obedient to the Son of Heaven, but what surprised Lu Bu was that his son-in-law turned out to be the same as himself, although Liu Xie asked again and again, he did not recommend anyone, and kept saying that it was the foundation of the three princes and nine kings that was related to the foundation of the society, and it could only be decided by His Majesty.

Liu Xie was very moved, and then began to set up a number of people.

The three dukes are Situ, Taiwei and Sikong.

These three people sound equal, but in fact, Sikong is under the jurisdiction of Jiuqing, the highest administrator, and Taiwei is in charge of the military, the highest military and political chief, Situ is mostly responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and performing documents and newspapers, similar to the deputy prime minister.

It can be seen from the treatment that Sikong and Taiwei's Yulu is 10,000 stones, but Situ and Jiuqing are both 2,000 stones.

On the first day of the court meeting, the canonization began in front of civil and military officials, Lin Mo was Sikong, Lu Bu was the captain and general, and Yang Biao, who was over the age of six, was Situ.

Yang Biao's qualifications are very old, he was one of the three dukes when he was in Chang'an, and later Cao Cao took power to remove him, and now he is considered to be reinstated, and no one will have any opinions.

Zhang Liao is the general of Wei, second only to the third duke, Zhao Yun is the general of Zhengdong, Zhang Xiu is the general of Zhendong, Wei Yue is the general of Zhennan, Wen Chou is the general of Anton, Yan Liang is the general of Annan, and the rest of the generals are rewarded;

Jia Xu is too often, the head of Jiuqing; Liu Ye is Zongzheng, Chen Gong is the servant, Lu Su is the Taichang Shaoqing, and the rest are rewarded.

It is worth mentioning that the Shaofu among the Jiuqing was originally Geng Ji, and he also came back alive this time, so it was naturally impossible to move his position, and the other one was Shi Xunyu, who was staying in Yingyin, and he could come to the door to invite.

Of course, to a certain extent, they have also been given marquises, to make up for the lack of meritorious service from Jiuqing, but the characters who are engaged in Jiuqing are lower, such as Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Man Chong, Hao Zhao and so on.

Judging from the ranks, it can be said that most of them are Lu Lin's people, which seems to be a happy ending, after all, this is not a feudal official led by Lu Lin, it is completely ruled by Liu Xie alone.

Therefore, after retiring from the dynasty, Lu Bu took the golden jade ribbon of the lieutenant and the general in front of Lin Mo, and taught earnestly: "Look for yourself, Your Majesty has not left behind the brothers who have made contributions over the years, you have become the prime minister, and I have also worshiped the general, this time you should put away your careful thinking." ”

After saying this, Lu Bu even showed a smug look, feeling much more comfortable in his heart.

One is the Sikong in charge of state affairs, and the other is the captain and general in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to giving the military power to Lu Lin and the others at one time.

It sounds like it belongs to them, but after such a seal by the Son of Heaven, it was legalized, and it was enough to leave a name in history, Lu Bu was in a good mood.

"This shows that Your Majesty is smarter than I thought." Lin Mo said as a matter of course.

"Here we go again."

Lu Bu sat cross-legged on the mat and faced Lin Mo sideways, "Do you think too badly of Your Majesty?" ”

Lin Mo snorted disapprerovingly, and said helplessly: "Lord Yue, what should I say to you to understand, do you think that his wanton canonization of our old subordinates is an affirmation of everyone, it is a last resort."

If he simply canonized our son-in-law and omitted these civil and military generals, then the people below would be unconvinced, and the yellow robe will be added, you know?"

Lin Mo scratched his head, he shouldn't understand, that is Zhao Kuangyin's matter, this era has not happened yet, he coughed twice and continued: "If we don't reward this group of civil and military forces under our hands, the people below will have ideas, even Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling have never forgotten our merits, do you want to hide your bow as soon as the son of heaven is restored?"

It's not good now, everyone gets their due, and no one has an opinion, and they all think of him as good.

But the problem is at one point, he did not appoint the two positions of Lang Zhongling and Wei Wei. ”

Lang Zhongling and Wei Wei both belong to Jiuqing, the difference is that Lang Zhongling is responsible for the palace guard and leads the imperial forest army; Wei Wei is in charge of guarding the palace gate and is the captain of the Nine Gates.

In other words, whoever wins these two positions is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of Gyeonggi and can take over the defense of Xuchang City at any time.

Seeing that Lu Bu looked suspicious and still didn't believe it, Lin Mo sighed: "Lord Yuezhang, have you thought about it, these two positions seem inconspicuous now, but once the world is peaceful, soldiers and horses are not allowed to be stationed in the land of Gyeonggi, even the soldiers and horses who defend the defense of Gyeonggi can only be stationed outside the city."

That is, people in these two positions can launch a mutiny at any time at the most critical time.

He is playing a mental game with me, and he thinks that the big guys who are the officials are happy this time, so no one will gossip when he promotes a few people, even if it is you and my son-in-law, they will take it for granted. ”

Lu Bu shook his head, "Yunwen, I can't talk about you, but if you firmly believe that Your Majesty has the intention to kill you and me, then no matter what he does, you will not be satisfied." ”

"Gotta get it, I know you don't believe it, let's go, take you to meet someone, and then you will understand." Lin Mo didn't talk nonsense and got up and went out directly.

Lu Bu worshiped the general, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, with the general's talisman, he could mobilize the soldiers and horses of any place in the Han world out of the camp.

Zhang Liao worships General Wei, this position was originally set up in the Western Han Dynasty, at that time he was in charge of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, but now in this period, General Wei's rank has not changed, but the position has changed, and the Imperial Forest Army was divided and no longer dispatched by General Wei, but the Gongwei Battalion responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi.

In any case, he is the first person under Lu Bu.

And Zhao Yun worships the general of Zhengdong, the boss of the four generals, and his reputation sounds well-known, but this position needs to be sent out to lead the troops, in other words, after the world is really peaceful, Zhao Yun will not be left in Xuchang.

Even the General's Mansion has ready-made ones.

In the house, a young girl is holding a spear, wearing blue armor, a fiery red cloak fluttering behind her, without a tasseled helmet, her long hair tied up in a high ponytail, heroic and cool, beautiful and delicious, I don't see a little bit of Lu Lingqi's taste.

But without that coldness, more often than not, she is a smiling little girl.

At this time, her body twisted and danced the spear and swept forward, and when Ma Chao raised the spear to block, the spear in the girl's hand turned into a thorn, which made Ma Chao take two steps back in surprise.

Seeing this, she smiled proudly, revealing her little tiger teeth, "This trick was taught to me by Brother Zilong, how about brother." ”

"Amazing, with your brother Zilong to teach you, I won't be able to beat you in a long time." Ma Chao withdrew his spear and teased.

Ma Yunlu came to Xuchang with Ma Teng this time.

After the last discord plan, Ma Teng was deeply uneasy, he knew too well that he was not the core figure of the Lu Lin Group, so even Cao Cao would use himself as a target for discord.

In addition, Ma Chao's reckless personality is not suitable for being an official, and in the future, in the collision of undercurrent forces, I am afraid that it will be too easy to become a political victim.

Xuchang is not the land of Sanqin, but no one will get used to the Ma family.

The only way Ma Teng could think of was to marry into the core of Lu Lin.

There are still some characters in this core, but the really influential people are Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Chen Gong.

After thinking about it, Ma Teng felt that it was a good choice to let Ma Yunlu marry Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun saved Lin Mo, and it can be said that he was the first person in Lu Lin besides Zhang Liao, which can be seen from this official ceremony.

At first, he was worried that Zhao Yun's high morale might not be able to see Ma Yunlu, but he didn't expect that the two would still fall in love after meeting, Ma Yunlu liked Zhao Yun's courageous and unparalleled spirit, and Zhao Yun also liked Ma Yunlu's naughty personality, which often made him show a helpless expression.

No, pestering Zhao Yun to learn a few tricks and practice Ma Chao as a target, Ma Teng, as an old father, felt very pleased.

"I've seen the general, Sikong." When Lu Bu and Lin Mo walked in, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu and even Zhao Yun all saluted.

Lu Bu waved his hand first, "It's all my own family, so I don't have to be formal." ”

Then Lin Mocai said: "General Ma, Meng Qi, there are some things to talk to Zilong." ”

"Understood." The Ma family immediately retreated unwillingly.

Lin Mo wasn't worried that they would have any worries in their hearts, in fact, he also knew very well what Ma Teng was planning.

However, after all, the Ma family is the descendants of the founding fathers, and he can't judge whether he can support himself to do such a thing, at least not for the time being.

Naturally, they didn't need to listen to it.

After entering the house to worship tea, Lin Mo got straight to the point and said, "Tell me the truth about what you heard." ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Lin Mo, then looked at Lu Bu and sighed.

In that case, he was actually very entangled at first, and always felt that it would be disloyal to go against the Son of Heaven, but Lin Mo's meaning to him was different from others, and he was afraid that if he didn't remind him, Lin Mo would really be in danger.

Inside the house, Zhao Yun relayed the words he heard that day word for word, and Lu Bu's expression changed from uneasy to shocked, and finally directly stunned with doubts about life.

No, he was so friendly when he came back to Xuchang, he was really a show.

Lu Bu swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Yun seriously, "Zilong, this matter is big or small, are you sure that these words were said by His Majesty himself?" ”

There was still a hint of luck in his eyes, until Zhao Yun swore and said: "General, the last general's ears can hear the sound of arrow feathers plucking a hundred steps away, and I was only thirty steps away from His Majesty at that time, so I will never hear it wrong." ”

At this point, Lu Bu slowly closed his eyes, and his expression became a little hideous.

As early as when Lin Mo first told him that Liu Xie was by no means an idle person, Lu Lin Weng's son-in-law and the Son of Heaven must not be able to coexist in the world, he wavered at that time, but he didn't believe it immediately.

He always felt that there was also the possibility that his son-in-law was greedy for power, after all, a son of heaven who had never met had to say that the two sides would eventually die, it was really hard to believe.

When the court meeting arrived, the Son of Heaven was enshrined as a hundred officials, and everyone was rewarded, even if he was born as a bandit like Zang Ba, he was given the status of a marquis, what else can you question him?

Now, Zhao Yun said everything, whether he wanted to believe it or not, all this was as Lin Mo had analyzed beforehand.

Listening to Liu Xie's words, it is only a matter of time before Lin Mo is cleaned up, once he actually takes power, all those who are threatened will not be able to escape the fate of being taken special care by him.

Not to mention, recalling that Lin Mo said that the family would be implicated, Lu Bu just couldn't bear it.

He slowly got up and walked to the corner, where he was silent for a long, long time.

In the end, as if he had made some important decision, his entire back relaxed, and he turned his back to the two of them and said in a deep voice: "The two positions of Zhonglang Ling and Wei Wei should be handed over to Boping and Wei Yue." ”

"That's not necessary."

Lin Mo chuckled, he knew that this matter was done, "As long as Lord Yuezhang understands where our path is, the other things, the son-in-law will take care of them, and let His Majesty decide the two positions himself." ”

If you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass, don't you?

There are some things, even if Liu Xie is in power, he may not have the courage to do it.

On the other hand, if it gives him a certain hope, there is a high probability that he will choose to give it a go.

"Yunwen, what do you need me to do?" When Zhao Yun said this, his fists were clenched and his expression was painful.

Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't let you be directly involved in this matter." ”

For people in this era, loyalty is a qualitative thinking that has been instilled since childhood, even if you are unfaithful in your heart, you must be loyal in your mouth.

Therefore, whenever there has been a coup d'état in history, it is not the most effective cadres who rush to the forefront, but more middle-level figures.

Because the upper class people no longer need to maximize their own benefits through this kind of stud, and the middle and lower class people urgently need the opportunity to turn over.

Hua Xin climbed to the top of the lieutenant, Chen Qun's nine-product zhongzheng system, and this series of products was all generated by the exchange of interests.

This is also why after each rebellion to seize power, a large number of middle and lower class figures will emerge.

Of course, Zhao Yun's character is not a matter of considering interests, but others will, so what Lin Mo has to do is to create a situation where the interests of the majority are damaged.

At the same time, this situation must be caused by Liu Xie, Lin Mo has calculated that the turmoil caused by this practice is actually the smallest, and it is even far more stable than ignoring Liu Xie and standing on his own.

This is also an important reason for taking the risk of bringing Liu Xie back.

As for Zhao Yun, there is really no need to be reluctant, anyway, he doesn't have to do the things that follow.

"By the way, I see that you and Ma Yunlu are quite compatible, it seems that a good thing is coming, but should you kiss your sister-in-law first before welcoming Ma Yunlu into the door?"

The words changed so quickly that Zhao Yun, who was still extremely entangled in his heart before, couldn't react a little, and looked at Lin Mo in amazement.

"If you don't say it, I know, after all, my sister-in-law's situation is different from ordinary people, Ma Yunlu was born in Jiangmen, she will estimate that she has ideas in her heart, but didn't I teach you how to please your sister-in-law, haven't you used it yet?" Lin Mo hugged his chest and smiled.

"The current situation is turbulent, I don't have that mind, let's help you get things done first." Zhao Yun sighed bitterly.

"Zilong, do you think that the method I taught you is just to please your sister-in-law?"

Lin Mo suddenly became serious again, and said seriously: "You hurry up, this matter is related to my next plan, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Ah, this Zhao Yun was a little dazed, "The two things you taught me can still help you succeed?" ”

"I'm not kidding you." Lin Mo nodded heavily.

"I don't know what the use is, but it's time to coax her, and I'll be happy when I think she's coming."

Zhao Yun felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and then asked, "Is there really nothing else?" ”

"No, that's it, just do it."

Hearing Lin Mo say this, Zhao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go in a while, but you don't have to worry about anything if there's anything you really do, no matter what, you and I are brothers." ”

Lin Mo smiled slightly, and didn't say more, being a brother is more expensive than a confidant, and not embarrassing the other party is also a kind of affection.

"Let's go, Lord Yue, we should also prepare to talk to Your Majesty about the conditions." Lin Mo stood up and stretched his waist, feeling unprecedented pleasure.

This thing, so far, everything is moving in a favorable direction.

It is also within the scope of their own plans.

Xuchang is now a happy situation, Lu Lin is happy, the Son of Heaven is also happy, including the civil and military officials at hand seems to be quite good.

But it is not an exaggeration to describe Jingzhou as three shocks a day.

Along with the enthronement of the hundred officials, there are also four holy decrees.

The first is, of course, to depose Cao Cao and tell the world about his past evil deeds, the purpose of which is, of course, to cut off Cao Cao's legitimacy and morally roast him on the fire.

The second holy decree was to crown Liu Cong as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Cai Mao as the governor of Jingzhou, leading the military affairs of Jingzhou.

The intention is also obvious, that is, to provoke the contradiction between Cao Cao and the Cai family.

As for Cai Mao, who was originally voted for by Mu Qiang, this holy decree is very fatal.

The third holy decree was to accuse Liu Qi of launching the Anfeng War for no reason, and he was demoted to the order of Xinye County, and he took up his post on the same day.

The battles that Liu Bei fought before were all carried out in the name of Liu Qi, and now that the Son of Heaven is going to settle accounts after the autumn, of course he is looking for Liu Qi.

As for the fourth holy decree, it is to crown Liu Bei as a former general and appoint Changsha as the Taishou.

The reason is, of course, that the rescue was meritorious, although there was a conflict with Zhao Yun at the time, but there was a reason for the incident, it is understandable that he has been fighting against Cao Cao all these years, and it is worth sealing on this point.

Except for Liu Qi's holy decree, which was suggested by Lin Mo, the other three holy decrees were all made by Liu Xie himself, and after Cao Cao coerced the princes of heaven for so many years, he certainly knew more clearly how to make the holy decree lethal.

The hearts of the people in Xiangyang are fluctuating, and the situation in Changsha is not necessarily good.

Before Liu Bei could react, Liu Qi was already trembling with fright, and ran to find Huang Zhong.

Now, this imperial uncle can't be trusted, Huang Zu is gone, Wei Yan is also gone, and the only thing Liu Qi can trust is Huang Hansheng.
