Shangshutai, a small conference hall.

Yu Shitai, Tingwei, Liucao Shangshu, and the other four states headed by Ying Shao, at this time, they all raised their heads and looked at the side door.

Sima Fang, who walked in first, and then Liu Dai and Liu Xuan, the three of them looked very bad, like iron condensation, and they couldn't hide their panic in their eyes, and they didn't dare to look at people.

As if sensing something, everyone quietly looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The left servant shot out one after another, then the governor of the four states, the assassin history, and then the people from the palace, the prime minister left, this series of changes, silently indicates that something big has happened!

From Sima Fang, Liu Dai and Liu Xuan's expressions, it is even more confirmed!

Sima Yi and Lu Yu knelt on both sides of the prime minister's seat, bowed their heads and made a respectful gesture, but in fact, they were also listening to all directions and looking at the six roads.

Sima Yi saw his father's expression, sighed in his heart, had a bad premonition, and quietly raised his head and looked at his grandfather Sima Jun.

Sima Jun hugged the crutches and lowered his head, as if he was asleep. The coughing sound that used to be from time to time is now gone.

Liu Xie, Wang Lang and others all noticed that He Hao did not appear, and their expressions were slightly strange.

This pastor of the state is the best friend of the right servant Xun You, from He Jin General's Mansion, and Xun You got the holy favor together, succeeded Lu Zhi a few years ago, became the pastor of the state, and carried the banner of implementing the 'new deal' in the state.

The merger has always been the place where the 'New Deal' is most vigorously implemented, and it is also the vane of the 'New Deal', and many of the 'New Deal' experiences come from the merger.

Because of this, He Hao has attracted a lot of attention in the imperial court, and because of his relationship as the 'Yingchuan Party', it has always been rumored that it is only a matter of time before he enters Shangshutai.

Ho Ho did not appear.

Liu Xie, Wang Lang and the others didn't think that He Hao was secretly discussing anything with the three of Shangshutai, from the expressions of Sima Fang, Liu Dai, and Liu Xuan, they had a strong premonition of uneasiness.

Wu Jing, Huangfu Jianshou, Chen Gong and others were also aware of it, and stared intently at the calm side door.

Footsteps sounded, and two figures quickly walked into everyone's eyes.

- Zhong Xuan, Xun You.

Zhong Xuan was usually serious, and he didn't see any superfluous expressions.

And Xun You's face was calm, hiding his anger that was difficult to hide.

The uneasiness in everyone's hearts became stronger, and the small conference hall was quieter, while observing the expressions of Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan, they were also constantly sweeping the side door, waiting for Xun Yu.

After a while, Xun Yu walked in with a document in his hand, his expression was as usual, and his steps were calm.

I don't know why, a group of people looked at the familiar young prime minister, and suddenly there was an inexplicable strangeness in their hearts.

This prime minister acts steadily, treats people gently, speaks little, does things plainly, and behaves plainly.

No mistakes have been made, and there are no outstanding merits.

There are even many people who compare him with his predecessor's 'Wuwei Prime Minister' Yang Biao, thinking that he is just 'flattering', and there is no essential difference.

But just now, they suddenly found that this young prime minister was a little strange, and he was not so familiar and understood.

After Xun Yu sat down, there were no polite words, under the scrutiny of everyone, he came up and said: "He Hao, the pastor of the state, is unwell, and thinks that he can't take on the heavy responsibility. ”

In the small conference room, in an instant, the quiet pin drop can be heard!

He Hao, but the patriarch of the 'Yingchuan Party', in terms of status, second only to the three people in front of him, is the iconic figure of the 'Yingchuan Party' in the local area, and everyone is waiting for him to return to Beijing and enter Shangshutai!

Is this a resignation?

Sima Jun didn't know when he opened his eyes, quietly observed Xun Yu for a while, and slowly closed it again.

The others were shocked, and glanced at Sima Fang, who had a solemn face, Liu Dai and Liu Xuan, where did they not understand that Xun Yu's 'physical discomfort' was just an excuse, and the root cause was that He Hao opposed the 'five-year governance outline for Jian'an' drawn up by Shang Shutai and was deposed!

'What a ruthless knife...... Wu Jing watched coldly, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He guessed that the 'Yingchuan Party' would have a powerful move, but he never expected that He Hao would be used to open the knife!

He Hao was dismissed, which shows that Shang Shutai's will is extremely resolute and unshakable.

Chen Gong, Huangfu Jianshou and others seemed to have expected it and did not say anything.

Ying Shao and the other four state pastors and assassins looked a little strange, as if they wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end they didn't answer the words.

Zhong Xuan, who was on the side, clearly felt that the restless mood in the small conference hall had disappeared, and these colleagues, every move, began to have some kind of respectful expression.

Not only Zhong Xuan found out, Xun Yu looked down condescendingly, taking in the expressions and movements of some people, and he was even more angry in his heart.

sacrificed He Hao in exchange for the 'knowledge' of these people?

Xun Yu never had any emotion, sat there as always, and said: "After the discussion of Shangshutai, please ask Your Majesty for royal approval, Luoyang Mansion Yin Chen Palace was transferred to Gong Cao Shangshu, and after Gong Cao Shangshu Wu Jing recommended, the original Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi was promoted to Luoyang Mansion Yin." Gong Cao Shangshu Wu Jing was transferred to the state pastor. ”

Chen Gong was stunned, he didn't know about it yet!

But immediately, he remembered Zuo Li, who had not met for a long time.

Last night, he was suddenly at the gate of the palace and met Zuo Li, who had a weird and inexplicable smile on his white face.

'What does this mean?' Chen Gong was secretly surprised, not knowing if Zuo Li was involved.

He hated Zuo Li, hated eunuchs, and didn't want to be contaminated at all!

Thinking of this, Chen Gong felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart for this appointment.

But he didn't say anything, now is not the time.

Wu Jing was also stunned, he recommended Zhou Yi, but he was not Luoyang Mansion Yin!

What kind of person is Zhou Yi, although the Zhou family has also been beautiful, as a protégé of the Yuan family, especially when the Yuan family was in power.

But after Yuan's ambush, Zhou Yi was dismissed, and then defected to Cai Yong and Sun Jian, who were close to him, but in the end he still failed to enter the office again, and took his son Zhou Yu to run around and wander away.

In this turn, Zhou Yi quietly went up and became the Yin of Luoyang Mansion?

Luoyang Mansion Yin is simply equivalent to the past Sili School Captain, and his status in the imperial court is prominent, and some people even put Luoyang Mansion Yin and Liucao Shangshu side by side, as long as he is promoted, he will directly point to Shangshutai!

Did he climb Cai Yong again? Wu Jing kept guessing in his heart.

A few years ago, Cai Yong angered Liu Wei and suffered a fatal blow to his career, so far he can only stay in Dongguan to study books.

But with the rise of the status of the eldest nephew in the palace, Cai Yong's influence has grown silently with the wind.

If Cai Yong helps from behind, it is not impossible!

Huangfu Jianshou, Sima Jun, Wang Lang, Liu Xie and others were also deeply surprised by this person's appointment, and the afterglow swept away in Chen Gong and Wu Jing's body, but in the end it all fell on Wu Jing.

Chen Gong has always been alone, not friends or parties, dedicated to things, is recognized as a 'loyal and upright person', and only obeys orders in the palace.

But Wu Jing is different, this person is the brother-in-law of the late Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian, and now the uncle of Wucheng Marquis Sun Ce, he is in Luoyang, just to show the 'benevolence' of the imperial court, not even a proton.

But Wu Jing was transferred to the state pastor, and the father of Zhou Yu, who had a general relationship with Sun Ce, was promoted to the post of Yin of Luoyang Mansion, and the meaning that can be pondered has become very strong.

The most important point is that the 'Jiangdong forces' have sprung up and cannot be ignored.

Did Sun Ce show his loyalty to the imperial court? ’

Or did the imperial court want to raise Sun Ce's weight and use him to resist Yuan Shao? ’

'Then Sun Quan seems to have been called into the palace and accompanied by His Royal Highness? ’

"Any objections?"

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Xun Yu's dull and majestic voice sounded again.

Under Xun Yu's gaze, Sima Fang, Liu Dai, and Liu Miao raised their hands for the first time and said, "The lower officials and others have no objections." ”

"There is no objection from the lower officials and others."

Before the three of them could speak, the others suddenly woke up and quickly followed.

The voice was firm, without a trace of hesitation, and it lingered for a long time in the small conference room.

It's different.

The young prime minister, who was once immature, gentle, and generous, finally showed his fangs.

Zhong Xuan glanced at Xun Yu and said, "If you have other objections to the policies, goals, plans and timetables formulated by Shang Shutai, you can go to Shu Shang Shu Tai alone, and Shang Shutai will consider adjusting them as appropriate according to different circumstances." ”

The hall was full of people, and no one spoke.

Even He Hao has 'resigned', how can they object?

This is not some kind of mediocre and maladministration, every article of the 'New Deal' clearly says 'for the country and the people', can they resist treachery, resign in anger, and gain fame?

If you really want to do this, Shang Shutai or the 'Yingchuan Party' will give you a big hat of 'mediocrity and incompetence', 'fear of difficulties', and 'abandonment of the country and home'!

That would be ruined, and it would become a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten!

Zhong Miao took in the expressions of the crowd, turned around and raised his hand with Xun Yu, and said: "Prime Minister, everything has been decided, and the lower officials suggest that starting from the merger of states, the 'New Deal' will be fully implemented, all obstacles will be removed, and the initial goal will be achieved in three years!" ”

Xun Yu nodded, his eyes fell on Wu Jing calmly, his tone was like iron, and he said: "Wu Shangshu, people, money, food, and soldiers, the original appearance is ready, three years, the original appearance will only give you three years!" ”

Wu Jing's brain was still in a state of confusion, and he didn't seem to hear Xun Yu's words clearly, but just looked at Xun Yu in a daze.

From beginning to end, Wu Jing thought about his transfer to the state pastor, and he was thinking about Zhou Yi's ascension, the influence on his good nephew, and the deep-seated purpose behind the imperial court's actions.

"Wu Shangshu, no, Wu Yuanjun, do you have any objections?" Xun You's cold and angry voice sounded.

Wu Jing was surprised, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

The others seemed to have some understanding of Wu Jing's gaffe, and they also seemed tolerant, and there was no schadenfreude.

Xun Yu snorted and said: "The prime minister personally sent you to Bingzhou to take office, and transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from the forbidden army camp to accompany you, if there is anyone you need to transfer, just make a list for me, and I will prepare 50,000 stone for you in advance, and the money is 50,000 yuan, which is not enough." ”

The corners of Wu Jing's mouth twitched, and his body couldn't help but bend down, his shoulders were like heavy Mount Tai, and he couldn't straighten up at all.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Wu Jing raised his hand, his voice trembling.

Xun Yu stared at him for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go here for the time being, and continue tomorrow." ”

"Retire from the lower ranks!"

The six Cao Shangshu, together with the state pastors and assassins, couldn't wait to raise their hands, and then retreated in turn.

In a short period of time, there were too many shocks for them, and they had too much confusion that needed time to sort out.

On the way out of the palace, Sima Fang carefully supported his old father, his expression was solemn, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Wu Jingze walked alone, his mood was heavy, and his head was dripping with cold sweat.

Huangfu Jianshou, Chen Gong and other 'imperial parties' quietly walked together, whispering, but not hearing others at all.

The last one is the state pastor and thorn history of the seven northern states.

Most of these people are unfamiliar, they don't affect each other, but at this moment, as if they were huddled together for warmth, they subconsciously came together, made eye contact, said a thousand words, and were speechless.

In general, most of the ministers on the way out of the palace were silent.

The young prime minister has changed, and the huge pressure that Shang Shutai was originally carrying began to move downward, and it will be up to them to take over.

This is pressure, but also responsibility, as soon as something is wrong, the thunderous anger in the palace is above their heads!

Flustered and preoccupied, it is the truest portrayal of them.

And in Shangshutai, after a short period of calm, there was instant tension and the smell of gunpowder.

Xun You's face was full of iron, his eyes were like copper bells, his anger was about to explode, and he roared: "Haven't I done enough? You have repeatedly forced me, leaving no room for me, how else do you want me to help you? What is it today, and will it be me tomorrow? My head is enough for you to be powerful, right? It's today, tomorrow, I'll go back and wash my neck now, so that the prime minister can cut it a little easier, and I can't hurt the prime minister when I die! ”

Xun You said, getting up and leaving.

Where did Zhong Xuan dare to let him go, when he left, there was really no room for maneuver!

He got up suddenly, hugged Xun You, and said with a smile: "Gongda must not do business, this is not the meaning of the prime minister, it is the meaning of the palace." ”

Xun Yu broke away from Zhong Xuan, sneered and said: "It is said that you Zhong Xuan never laughs, and something will happen when you smile." Why, when did you become so close to our prime minister? Isn't it time to go to my house? ”

In the past, Xun You and Zhong Yu had a close relationship, and the two had similar views and attitudes on many things. But after Xun Yu entered Beijing, especially after becoming the prime minister, Zhong Yu and Xun Yu got closer and closer, but they became alienated from Xun Yu.

Zhong Xuan stopped Xun You, looked at his angry expression, and still smiled and said: "There is no matter, Gongda, this is really the meaning of the palace, the prime minister also defended, but the palace has a resolute attitude, and he must kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, the prime minister, is also helpless." ”

"Your Majesty has been out of Beijing for many days, do you really think I don't know?!"

Xun You's roar almost exploded in the small conference room, and he was already furious.

He pushed the bell away and strode away.

Zhong Yu still wanted to stop him, Xun Yu gently picked up the teacup and said, "No need to chase, I understand him, it's useless to explain at this time, I'll talk about it later." ”

Zhong Xuan's expression was extremely solemn, and he said: "This time is different, I'm worried that Gongda will not give up." ”
