Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao were a little hesitant. Although they were considered to be the top wise men, they were not much inferior to the top Zhuge and Xun Yu when purely comparing their internal political abilities. They could be said to be the best candidates for the lord.
one.
It can be said that without mentioning vision and ambition, these two people can be ranked among the top five civil servants in the internal affairs department. In other words, if they are given a place to govern, they can manage it very well.
Especially now, after Xun Yu left, the two have almost become Chen Xi's right-hand man, not only eating up Xun Yu's original share, but also taking part from Chen Xi.
After all, Chen Xi believed in making the most of people's talents and making the best use of materials. When Xun Yu ran away, Lu Su went south, Zhuge Liang did not return, and he still had two cards in hand, of course he used them to death.
No matter how much one Zhang Zhao can't compare to Xun Yu in domestic affairs, how can Zhang Hong be compared to him?
Therefore, after Xun Yu ran away last year, Erzhang quickly developed from an ordinary minister to the current level of issuing official documents on behalf of the minister.
Even if part of this is Chen Xi's idea of delegating power and making the best use of people's talents, the ability of Er Zhang to take over all of Xun Yu's previous positions and still have the energy to take over some of Lu Su's previous positions shows how capable these two people are.
How strong is it?
In addition, the Han Empire has now developed to such an extent that any official document written by Er Zhang affects tens of millions of people. This kind of substantial influence even exceeds the limit that Er Zhang once thought.
Even if they once thought about "learn martial arts and sell the goods to the emperor's family, the emperor will not recognize the use and sell them to those who know the goods", but the emperor's family they once thought about and the current emperor's family are not the same concept at all. The former Han Empire used
The current territory is just a small corner of the country.
When you can't see the size of the world, you still don't feel it, but when you really see the world, even Erzhang has to admire the vastness of the world, and also has to feel ashamed of how small he once was.
.
Under such circumstances, even Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong found it difficult to stand on the top of this huge empire by relying on their own abilities.
The current status of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, without Chen Xi's objection, the combined responsibilities of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are equivalent to the Shangshu Ling. Although they are both two thousand stones, there are differences between two thousand stones. Some two thousand stones can only be implemented because of the cap.
Two thousand stones are issued, and some two thousand stones are just called two thousand stones. The difference is so big that it cannot be calculated.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong knew very well why Chen Xi forced other Jiangdong civil servants except Zhou Yu to stay in the Central Plains.
The place in Jiangdong is famous for its strong influence on temple demons. There are so many people who are trying to hold back people, and there are too many internal disputes. Even if Zhou Yu is really powerful, he can only suppress him. Chen Xi doesn't want this result, so he directly kills everyone except Zhou Yu.
All the top civil servants stayed in the center, waiting for Zhou Yu to settle the internal affairs before releasing these people back.
It can be said that now that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zheng Du, Pang Tong, and Gu Yong are put back under Sun Ce, they have also lost the capital to compete with Zhou Yu. Of course, it is not completely lost. As long as you are capable enough, you can still rely on your ability.
Get what you need.
But if you want to compete with Zhou Yu based on popularity, qualifications, reputation, etc. like before, then stop dreaming. This time, you can only compete with intelligence and ability, and everything else is useless.
, all the methods of holding back and infighting that were used have been cut off.
In this case, unless Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin, Zheng Du and other wise men who really worked hard for Sun Ce and had no power behind them before could agree without hesitation, everyone else would have to think about whether they should follow him or not.
Sun Ce should stay in Chang'an.
Especially for people like Er Zhang who come from a wealthy family, whether they are the Zhang family in Xuzhou or the Zhang family in Jiangdong, they all belong to the level of local snakes, so they need to think about these things.
Think about it, Er Zhang's family has moved north, and is now even struggling to go to Central Asia to establish a country, and Er Zhang himself is following Chen Xi in the center. Chen Xi has no intention of suppressing him. He will use it if he has the ability. Although Er Zhang himself occasionally
I'm a little embarrassed, but Chen Xi never said the words he said when he was talking nonsense with Liu Bei back then. On the contrary, he was more supportive.
Now Erzhang can pat his chest and guarantee that as long as he stays in the central government, he will definitely hold the position of real minister of power. It can be said that he has both name and reality.
Under such circumstances, if Er Zhang nodded and followed Sun Ce, it would be equivalent to giving up all his current power and joining a small force that had just established a city.
If compared in today's terms, the two pictures are equivalent to jumping from the position of technical director of the State Grid Corporation of the world's top 500 companies to a start-up company. Although this company has great potential, even if your potential is overwhelming, you still have
Can we take down the State Grid?
Well, even if you can kill the State Grid, the last two will not be able to take the position of president. The second one will kill the third and fourth positions. There are people in the first and second positions, so we really want to talk about development.
Future, Er Zhang is really extremely complicated inside.
"After we hand over the work, we will go together." Zhang Hong took a long breath, then looked at Chen Xi and said very seriously, "Thank you Chen Hou for your long-term support. Hong deeply feels that he was shallow back then."
Chen Xi nodded and didn't say anything, but silently glanced at Er Zhang in his heart. He really did it on purpose. In addition to Er Zhang's ability, a large part of the reason for supporting Er Zhang was to see Er Zhang's final result.
choice.
Speaking of which, the person who slapped Chen Xi the hardest in the face over the years was not Chen Qun, but Er Zhang. Liu Bei really invited Liu Bei several times for the second picture, but he was not invited in the end and was ridiculed. Others include Xun Yu, Xun You,
Including Chen Qun, most of them thanked guests behind closed doors without saying anything sarcastic.
So Chen Xi deliberately dug a hole and waited for Er Zhang to jump in, just to see how Er Zhang would choose. If he chose to stay in Chang'an, Chen Xi would still reuse him, but at most he would use him as a transitional character, which means that Er Zhang would
Always stay at this level one step away from the top.
Things like morality and persistence are still very important. Although ability is very important, the first two determine the upper and lower limits of this character in many cases.
After the two opened their mouths, Gu Yong, Yu Fan and others also followed suit. There was nothing to say. Even if they had other ideas, facing the current situation, they must not speak unless they really didn't want to appear again.
In front of people.
"We'll have a farewell party then. Kong Ming is coming back soon. Shi Yuan hasn't seen Kong Ming for a long time, right?" Chen Xi looked at Pang Tong and asked. Pang Tong nodded. Pang Tong hadn't seen Zhuge Liang since Northern Xinjiang.
, I can’t see it even if I want to.
"It's okay, it's okay to meet." Pang Tong was silent for a moment, then grinned, but it was obviously a smile that made people feel uncomfortable.
It's obviously the same as Sima Yi's idea. It's better not to think about being Zhuge Liang's opponent. It's really not something that humans can do.
A few years have also allowed Pang Tong to get through his irritable period, and he can calmly look at the gap between himself and Zhuge Liang. Sometimes, there are some things that he really has to admit.
What's more, Pang Tong is about to go south now. He is thousands of miles away and will never come back. I'm afraid Zhuge Liang will only see him again this time, so whether he meets him or not, the gap between the so-called old enemies has widened to this point.
At this point, it really becomes a joke.
Chen Xi nodded to Pang Tong. He also knew that Pang Tong was feeling uncomfortable. Obviously, everyone used to score 99 points and 100 points. The difference was not that big. But when the battlefield was put on this thousand-point test paper, 100
Zhuge Liang, who scored 99 points, passed the full test, but Pang Tong, who scored 99 points, was so far away from the full test.
Giving up is also a kind of wisdom, but this kind of wisdom is too painful.
"It seems that Kong Ming will have no peers in the future." Jia Xu suddenly spoke to Chen Xi. Chen Xi laughed twice and replied, "No, Kong Ming still has us."
"That's right, there are us." Jia Xu nodded, "It's just how far we can go with him. That's also a question. Pang Shiyuan's intelligence can be said to be the best among men."
"Then there is still me!" Chen Xi said proudly, "So don't worry, I am also of the same generation."
Jia Xu didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acknowledging the fact. Compared with others, Chen Xi and Zhuge Liang are the real peers. To be precise, Chen Xi, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are the same generation, but the former two are too different.
It's too early and people don't get any reaction at all.
"Wait until Kong Ming comes back. I'll put it into practice by then. Take away to welcome Kong Ming's return. But it's a pity that you won't be able to eat Kong Ming's wedding candy." Chen Xi said with a smile. Part of the reason why Zhuge Liang was captured was because of his marriage.
When the Zhuge family and the Huang family got married, Zhuge Liang was only eleven or twelve years old. Now he is twenty years old. Although Huang Chengyan sent his daughter to Zhuge Liang four years ago, she is a member of your Zhuge family anyway. Your Zhuge family
Just raise it by yourself, raise it up, and remember to call me when you get married.
That's what he said, but Huang Chengyan is almost pulling out his beard now. His son-in-law is already twenty years old and he hasn't married his daughter yet. He can't bear it anymore. Therefore, there is a big reason for Zhuge Liang's return this time.
If you don't get married, someone will explode.
Well, forget it, Huang Yueying, Li Yuan is actually about to explode, Li Yuan is older than Zhuge Liang, and Li Yuan will collapse if you wait any longer, and you will really have to wait for the best years!
Naturally, I came back this time to give an explanation. Even if Li Yuan keeps waiting, even if he is determined, he will be beaten to death sooner or later. If Huang Yueying spends another five years, it will not be a big problem, but if Li Yuan spends another five years, it will not really be possible.
