Xu Shu's return to the Han Dynasty is a great joy for both the current Han Dynasty court and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who is responsible for military and political affairs.
In fact, after Xu Shu was taken to Chang'an by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan was extremely happy.
Because Xu Shu is here, he can share some of the burdens for the Prime Minister.
As for what official position Xu Shu should be appointed to, Liu Chan has been thinking about it these days, but he respects Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. In comparison, the Prime Minister should know better than him about the appointment and removal of officials.
Now Zhuge Liang has pushed this matter to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan said with a smile: "Then - I will make you the imperial censor." As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Xu Shu was startled and said with some fear: "Your Majesty! How can a humble minister hold such an important position when he has just returned to the great Han Dynasty?" <
/p>
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang on the side, although he did not speak, was also surprised.
"If you love me, don't turn it away," Liu Chan supported Xu Shu and said, "I have just entered Guanzhong as a great Han Dynasty. There are many affairs in the state affairs. Aiqing is a great talent. I gave Aiqing this position because I hope that Aiqing can share the burden for the prime minister.
One or two."
Conferring Xu Shu the title of imperial censor was Liu Chan's final decision after careful consideration over the past few days.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has been shouldering the responsibility of military and political affairs before. The burden on his shoulders is really too heavy. Now that the Han Dynasty has not unified the world, there are still many things that need to be done. If these things are all placed on Zhuge Liang,
, Even though the Han Dynasty has captured Guanzhong and does not need to continue the Northern Expedition for months and years, there are still too many things that the Han Dynasty needs to solve.
Liu Chan needs Zhuge Liang so much.
Zhuge Liang in history became ill due to overwork and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.
After Liu Chan traveled through time and determined his identity and situation, he felt that the first thing he needed to do was two things.
One is Prime Minister Zhuge's first Northern Expedition in 228 AD. This Northern Expedition must be successful, because it is the most likely to succeed among the several Northern Expeditions of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the key to breaking the situation.
After several years of planning, he did it.
And the results exceeded expectations. Originally, they only planned to capture Longyou, then annex Liangzhou, and then after several years of development, use troops to Guanzhong.
But now, the Han Dynasty has not only obtained Longyou, but also the entire Guanzhong has been lost to the Han Dynasty.
In addition to breaking the situation, Liu Chan felt that there was another thing that must be done, which was to reduce the pressure on Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and not let him be as tired as he was in history.
To reduce the pressure, we must reduce the pressure on Zhuge Liang.
It’s just that Liu Chan had not had the opportunity to do this in Chengdu before.
Well now, Xu Shu is here.
This can be considered a big favor to Liu Chan.
The Yushi Dafu was the deputy of the Prime Minister in the Qin Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister's Palace and the Yushi Dafu's Palace were collectively called the Second Palace. On all military and state affairs, the emperor often discussed and decided with the Prime Minister and Yushi Dafu.
Xu Shu's talent may be inferior to that of Zhuge Liang.
But I’m afraid it’s not much lower.
Historically, he was not given much opportunity to perform, because he only assisted the late emperor for a short time, and later dedicated himself to Cao Ying because of his mother.
Xu Shu is a loyal and filial person. After leaving Liu Bei, Xu Shu vowed not to contribute to the Cao family for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Xu Shu did not have many opportunities to perform in history.
Now that he has returned to the Han Dynasty, he has a stage to prove.
As for whether he is more suitable for presiding over internal affairs or taking charge of the military, Liu Chan is not completely sure yet, so he is asked to be the imperial censor first.
Liu Chan's appointment was quickly approved by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. As soon as Liu Chan finished his words, he echoed: "Yuan Zhi, what your majesty said is absolutely true. From now on, you and I can jointly assist your majesty. Yuan Zhi."
It’s much easier to stay in the light.”
Although Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that Liu Chan canonized Xu Shu as the imperial censor, he also agreed with Liu Chan's decision. After all, Xu Shu's talents were as good as his, so it was not an exaggeration to let him serve as the censor.
Seeing that both Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang had said this, Xu Shu would be a bit pretentious if he tried to shirk it anymore, so he immediately bowed and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
……
Liu Chan conferred the title of Imperial Censor on Xu Shu at the Prime Minister's Mansion. This was only a verbal conferment and could not be regarded as a formal conferment, so a formal appointment was made at the court meeting the next day.
At the same time, after the instructions of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the imperial censor Xu Shu took charge of internal affairs and established the imperial censor's palace.
After Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, another high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty opened a government to manage affairs.
Xu Shu opened a mansion to govern the world. This was a decision made on the advice of Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang believes that now that Xu Shu has returned to the Han Dynasty, if he is still subordinate to the prime minister's office, it will be difficult to use Xu Shu's talents. Moreover, Xu Shu is a man of great loyalty and filial piety. If he is in charge of the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty, he can also free up his hands to deal with the military.
After all, there are Cao Wei in the east of the Han Dynasty, Soochow in the southeast, Liangzhou Qiang in the northwest, and Hu Nu in the north.
Before that, Zhuge Liang could only do two things at once, he had to take care of both internal and external considerations.
Now that Xu Shu has returned to the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister's Office will focus more on military matters.
Liu Chan is naturally satisfied with this arrangement.
Now that Zhuge Liang is still here, all military and political affairs are under his control. Liu Chan will not worry about anything, but everyone will die of old age one day. Once the prime minister is a hundred years old, he will definitely not leave military and political affairs in the hands of one person again.
p>
Liu Chan in history also did this.
After the prime minister died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, he did not create a prime minister. Instead, he divided the powers originally assigned to the prime minister's office into three parts, and also controlled each other, so as to stabilize the political situation of the court.
Now with the arrival of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang has advanced this layout in advance.
Zhuge Liang's actions made Liu Chan respect him more, and also strengthened his view of Zhuge Liang in his previous life, that is, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, was a wise prime minister of the Han Dynasty, not a powerful minister who was involved in conspiracy.
Historically, he has monopolized power, but that is just because he has not found anyone who can share the burden for him. If he meets someone who can share the burden, he will not begrudge the power in his hands.
After arranging the appointment and dismissal of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang focused more on military affairs, because after the two years of Guanzhong War, although the territory of the Han Dynasty had increased a lot, its military strength was not yet there.
After being strengthened, what he needs to do now is to simultaneously enhance the military strength of the Han Dynasty.
Because Cao Wei invaded Guanzhong three times within two years.
If the military strength of the Han Dynasty is not strengthened in time, even if it now occupies Guanzhong and Shuzhong, if Cao Wei is allowed to toss endlessly like this, sooner or later the Han Dynasty will be consumed by them.
Replenish soldiers and upgrade weapons and equipment.
This is Zhuge Liang’s first consideration right now.
For example, in Wuguan and Tongguan, the three-bow bed crossbow showed great power, and he felt that it could be modified and upgraded.
As for Xu Shu, the imperial censor, he put all his thoughts on stabilizing the situation in Guanzhong and Shuzhong.
Especially in Guanzhong, when the Han Dynasty first arrived here, there were still many things that needed to be done.
However, just when Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were busy carrying out their work, Cao Wei suddenly sent an envoy to Chang'an, forcing them to temporarily stop.
