Although Ju Shou insisted on preventing Xun Yu from entering the court, Yuan Shu believed in his ability.
"My lord, if you insist on accepting Xun Yu, then I don't suggest that he be sent to a place as a state pastor. It is better to be in the court.
Although the official position in the court is not much different from that of a state pastor, at the local level, it may form a tripartite confrontation with Youzhou and Liangzhou. Once they really have an idea, no one can stop them."
Now that it had become a settled matter, Ju Shou couldn't say anything. After thinking about it for a while, he gave Yuan Shu his own answer.
"But if he is allowed to be in the court, I already have a candidate for the position of the Three Dukes. And when the world is settled, I will also reform the country's system. It is time to abolish the system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou. What he said made sense. Although he was not worried about the Xun family's situation, he still had to take precautions.
If Xun Yu is really allowed to be the shepherd of the state and form a tripartite force with Xun You and Xun Chen, it will be a troublesome thing. Rather than doing this, it is better to let Xun Yu stay in the court, but the position of the three princes will definitely not be
Yes, after all, Xun Yu is just a newcomer.
"Then how about giving me the job of Jiuqing?
Having the same position as Cao Mengde and Liu Jingsheng is not an insult to him."
Jushu said he would give Xun Yu a free post, but to be honest, he was just to guard against him. This way, he could give Xun Yu enough respect without causing too serious consequences.
"No, I'm sorry for Xun Yu's idle position. I said that I should give him enough attention so that he can show his talents. If he is not given a place as a state pastor, he must also be given to the powerful department among the nine ministers. This way he can be sealed
How about letting him be in charge of logistics support for Da SiNong?
This can also help you share the burden."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Jushou is frightened and hopes that the lord will punish him."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Jushou knelt on the ground again and saluted Yuan Shu.
"What's wrong?"
Now it was Yuan Shu's turn to be confused. He didn't understand why Jushu was acting like this suddenly.
It seems that I didn't say anything wrong.
"Jushou agrees to my lord's appointment. I will hand over the matter to Xun Yu when I get back. I hope my lord will calm down."
Jushu spoke again and agreed with Yuan Shu's appointment of Xun Yu. At the same time, he was also feeling panic in his heart.
"Note, have you misunderstood?"
Only then did Yuan Shu realize that Ju Shou must have had some misunderstanding about his appointment, so he said such words.
"Isn't it possible that the reason why the Lord appointed Xun Yu as the Chief Agriculture Officer was because he felt that Xun Yu had too many things under his jurisdiction, so he wanted to decentralize power?"
Ju Shou was also confused. Seeing Yuan Shu's state and meaning, it seemed that they were somewhat different from what he thought.
"You are overthinking. I have always trusted you 100%. As for appointing Xun Yu as Grand Secretary of Agriculture, it is not just to share your power.
First of all, when he was in Cao Cao's camp, he was also in charge of logistics and finance. I believe that his talents can definitely qualify him for this position.
Secondly, this can be regarded as showing the importance to Xun Yu. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones and makes them for the world's talents to see. I, Yuan Shu, do not stick to one type of talent.
Finally, you are the chief steward of the Jizhou Army. We are fighting in the front and you are responsible for everything in the rear. It is too tiring for one person to be responsible for this. Now someone can finally help you share the burden, so I made this arrangement.
This is not a distrust of you. If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it is not impossible to let Xun Yu serve as a court official and be in charge of judicial proceedings."
Sure enough, his words made Jushu react. Now he can be said to be the logistics center of the entire Jizhou Army. It is precisely because of his presence that the frontline soldiers can fight with all their strength.
Jushu also controls the core of the entire Jizhou Army. Whether it is the deployment of troops, logistics supplies, or the payment of military salaries, everything is under Jushu's control. It is really difficult to achieve such a large power without 100% trust.
Jushu was also walking on thin ice in Jizhou, doing everything cautiously, for fear of something going wrong. Now that he said this, he had touched his fragile nerves.
"My lord, as long as you still trust me, it's fine. Since you think Xun Yu is suitable for the position of chief agricultural officer, then let him hold the post of chief agricultural officer. I am indeed too tired. It would be good to have someone to share the burden.
"
Yuan Shu had finished speaking, and Ju Shou's tense string finally relaxed. As long as Yuan Shu still trusted him, then everything would not matter.
Besides, he simply doesn't like a senior agricultural officer. If it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates to replace him, he would have given up his job long ago. Now that Xun Yu has taken over, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
"You really have no objection?
I did not mean it. If you have anything to say, just say it. There can be no gap between our principals and ministers. I trust you 100%, so I also hope that you can trust me 100%, do you understand?"
Although Ju Shou had said this, Yuan Shu was still a little unsure. After all, Ju Shou was his most capable minister, and the trust between his ministers was the most important thing.
"Jushou understands, just let Xun Yu be the chief agricultural officer. Just as the lord said, he has 100% trust in me, and I also have 100% trust in the lord. There will be no gaps. Please rest assured, lord."
Yuan Shu said this, and Ju Shou saluted him with clasped fists, indicating that he had no problem.
"Okay, then let's make him the Grand Secretary of Agriculture, but you can't be angry before you talk ugly things."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou and then spoke to him.
"Don't worry, it's all said and done. Jushou is not a petty person. As long as Xun Yu has the ability to do his job as a great farmer, it's not too late for me to be happy. But my lord, don't you ask the two Xunzhou shepherds for their opinions?
"
Jushou nodded, and suddenly he thought of a question, that is, they have made a decision, but don't they need to ask Xun You and Xun Chen for their opinions?
"Although it is said that virtuous people do not avoid relatives, they will definitely not ask about Xun Yu's problems, so I did not recruit them."
Yuan Shu shook his head slightly. His own people knew what they were like. Yuan Shu didn't know what they were like. If it was a trivial matter, it wouldn't matter, but Xun Yu's position was a major matter, and the two of them would never express their opinions.
"I understand. If nothing happens, Jushou will resign."
Since Yuan Shu had seen so clearly, Ju Shou had nothing to say and simply resigned with fists in his hands.
"Well, go ahead and get some rest early."
At the court meeting the next day, Emperor Xian sat high on the dragon chair. He glanced at the civil and military officials in the audience, and finally fixed his eyes on Yuan Shu. You must know that he usually would not appear in the court.
, but as long as he can, he will make big moves.
"My fellow ministers, if anything happens, please report it early. If nothing happens, please withdraw from the court."
The eunuch beside Emperor Xian cleared his throat and shouted the phrase he repeated most.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu has something to say."
Yuan Shu glanced at Emperor Xian, stood up directly, and saluted Emperor Xian.
"If you have anything to say, please don't be restrained."
As expected, Yuan Shu spoke, and Emperor Xian straightened his body. He still had to treat Yuan Shu with respect. After all, his future state would all depend on Yuan Shu's words.
"Your Majesty, Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo are not suitable to serve under Da Hong. I recommend that they be abolished from their positions."
Yuan Shu spoke directly to Emperor Xian.
"?
?”
"?
?”
"?
?”
Yuan Shu's opening was met with three question marks, including Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Han Emperor.
Xun Yu was a great leader of Cao Cao. If you directly say that Xun Yu is not good, this is a bit too disrespectful.
"Guanhou, I didn't hear you clearly just now, but you were talking about Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo under Da Hong's command?"
Since there are doubts, Emperor Xian has nothing to hide. After all, he is the nominal master of the entire Han Dynasty.
"Yes, it is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo of the Xun family in Yingchuan. Please accept your Majesty's permission."
Yuan Shu nodded to Emperor Xian.
"Dahonglu, do you agree with what Guanhou said?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's confirmed answer, Emperor Xian also smiled slightly and fixed his gaze on Cao Cao. Huo Ying had already told him that neither Cao Cao nor Liu Biao agreed to start a fight with him. Now that it was fine, he could watch the show.
"Your Majesty, I think what Guanhou said is true. Xun Yu is indeed not suitable to serve under Da Hong."
Now Cao Cao understood what he meant. Yuan Shu said that Xun Yu was not suitable to serve under Da Hong. There was only one possibility, and that was that he wanted to reuse Xun Yu. In this case, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. He would let him go when it was time to let him go.
,
If he had a fight with Yuan Shu now, he would still be the unlucky one, and he would also make others laugh.
"Da Honglu, do you also agree with Guan Hou's statement?"
Now it's Emperor Xian's turn to be confused. Why are you so cowardly?
Although Yuan Shu now has all the power in the world, you are also one of the Nine Qings, good or bad. When people say that your subordinates are not good, you just say that they are not good?
I really misjudged you.
"Well, Guan Hou is the best judge of people. He said that Xun Yu is not suitable to serve under Da Hong, so he is not wrong."
Regarding Emperor Xian's confusion, Cao Cao smiled slightly. If you want to see my joke, just dream.
"Then according to Guanhou's wishes, Xun Yu will be relieved of all duties in Dahonglu Mansion."
Since Cao Cao had no objections, Emperor Xian had nothing to watch and directly announced that he would deal with it according to Yuan Shu's instructions.
"Xun Yu obeys the order."
Xun Yu stepped out from among the hundreds of officials and knelt down on his knees to salute Emperor Xian with an expressionless face.
"My ministers, if you have something to do, report it early. If nothing happens, please retreat."
Removing Xun Yu was just a matter of his words. Since there was nothing more to do, Emperor Xian immediately wanted to withdraw from the court.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu still has the original memorial."
