Hearing that Xun Yu still had something to do, Emperor Xian couldn't help but frowned. You, a person who has not been in court all year round, are now going to dismiss Cao Cao's ministers as soon as you come. This matter is not over. What else is there?
"It's still about Xun Yu. I would like to recommend this person to be the Grand Secretary of Agriculture and governor of the country's economy and finance. I hope your majesty will approve it."
If Yuan Shu proposed the abolition originally and everyone was watching the excitement, the current canonization made everyone stupid.
Emperor Xian, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and even Xun Yu himself were a little confused.
Although Xun Yu knew that the first step for him to be re-employed was to be relieved of his current position, he did not expect that he would be the chief minister.
This is a top priority position. It can be said that it is even more important than the shepherd of a state. It is in charge of the entire Han Dynasty's economy and finance.
It was simply impossible for someone who was not a close confidant to take up the role. He had thought about it ten thousand times and never imagined that this would be the case.
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and then at Yuan Shu. To be honest, he could understand why Xun Yu was dismissed from his post. After all, if he wanted to re-employ him, it would be a problem if he was under Da Hong.
But what he never expected was that Yuan Shu would actually give him the position of chief agricultural officer. It was so strange. You should know that this official position was much more important than the position of state shepherd.
"Guan Hou, this Great Si Nong is one of the Nine Qings, with a high status. Xun Yu was just a fifth-rank official under Da Hong before, but now he is a bit like a fish jumping over the dragon's gate."
Emperor Xian couldn't see through Yuan Shu's intentions at all now. Just now he said that he was not suitable to be in the Dahonglu Mansion. It turned out that he wanted to be promoted to the rank of Sinong, but wasn't Xun Yu one of Cao Cao's men?
Now you want to promote him to the position of Da Si Nong. In this case, Xun Yu is no weaker than Cao Cao in terms of position. And in terms of importance, one is in charge of ethnic minority affairs and the other is in charge of the national economy and finance. The difference is huge.
.
"Your Majesty, Xun Yu has the talents of a king's assistant. I said before that he is not suitable for Dahonglu. The reason is because his talents will be buried there. That's why I recommended him to be the chief minister of agriculture. I believe that Xun Yu has the talent.
Ability to do this job well.”
Upon hearing Emperor Xian's question, Yuan Shu directly opened his mouth to explain to Xun Yu.
"Your Majesty, I think what Guanhou said is right. Xun Yu's talent is well known all over the world. It should not be a problem for him to assume the position of chief agricultural officer."
Liu Bian finally understood that Xun Yu had changed his mind and joined Yuan Shu, so he first deposed and then praised Cao Cao, firstly to see Cao Cao's attitude, and secondly to build momentum for Xun Yu.
This is to show everyone that Xun Yu has nothing to do with Cao Cao and is completely one of Yuan Shu's men.
Since Yuan Shu gave Xun Yu face like this, he might have to rely on Xun Yu's influence in the future. There is nothing wrong with forming a good relationship.
"Da Honglu, what do you think?"
Liu Biao agreed, and Emperor Xian looked directly at Cao Cao.
"Wei Chen has no objection."
Now that the dust has settled, Cao Cao has nothing to say and just clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"Okay, then I will ennoble Xun Yu as the Great Secretary of Agriculture and be in charge of the national economy. I hope you can serve the Han wholeheartedly."
There was no one to oppose Emperor Xian and there was nothing to say. He directly followed Yuan Shu's proposal and appointed Xun Yu as the Chief Secretary of Agriculture, in charge of the national economy.
"Xun Yu obeys the order."
Xun Yu also took a step forward at this time and knelt on his knees under Emperor Xian.
"Okay, everyone, do you have anything else to do?
If nothing happens, just retreat."
After appointing Xun Yu, Emperor Xian knew that Yuan Shu was probably fine, so he once again said he would withdraw from the court.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Having achieved his goal, Yuan Shu directly took the lead in sending Emperor Xian off.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Under the sound of farewell, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty left the hall directly, and then the officials also retreated.
Xun Yu's arrangements were settled and he took office immediately. With the support of Yuan Shu and Ju Shou, he quickly took over the position of Chief Agriculture Officer and began to control the country's economy.
"This is really unreasonable."
Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao with anger on his face. To be honest, he knew Xun Yu's ability, but it was a little hard for him to accept that he would reach the same level as Cao Cao in such a step.
"What's there to be angry about? Wen Ruo's ability is worthy of the position of the great minister. Having him as the great minister is a blessing to the people of the Han Dynasty. Besides, this is a blessing rather than a curse for us."
Facing Xiahou Dun's anger, Cao Cao seemed indifferent. Since he had decided to let go, the higher Xun Yu's position, the greater the improvement for the Xun family, and the more likely it is that what Xi Zhicai said would come true.
.
"My lord is right. The higher Xun Yu climbs now, the greater the harm he will cause to Yuan Shu's camp."
Xi Zhicai glanced at Xiahou Dun and then focused on Cao Cao.
"Well, don't worry about it so much. Just relax and do our job."
Cao Cao nodded to Xi Zhicai. Since he couldn't refuse this thing, he could only accept it.
"No, I understand."
After hearing both of them say this, Xiahou Dun had nothing to say and could only nod.
The news that Xun Yu became the great agriculture minister began to spread directly through letters. The Xun family members were extremely excited when they heard the news, because although Xun You and Xun Chen were the state pastors, they did not reuse their own children.
On the one hand, this is because Youzhou and Liangzhou have just been pacified. Although the post of state pastor is very important, not many of the Xun family's descendants can actually participate in it. Although they can appoint some county-level positions, the appointment of the prefect is not
It needs to be reported to Yuan Shu for final decision, and there is not much room for maneuver.
On the other hand, it is because the two of them know the situation of the Jizhou Army. Everyone knows Yuan Shu's attitude towards the children of the aristocratic family. If you have the ability, you can do anything. If you are a loser, don't say you are a member of the Xun family, even if you are a member of the Xun family.
Even if you are someone close to you, don’t even think of relying on your status as a noble family to seek personal gain.
Finally, the most important thing is to avoid suspicion. One family and two states as pastoralists are already extremely favored. If they are using their own children in a big way, they are likely to be suspected by Yuan Shu. Once they are suspected by Yuan Shu, no matter how big they are,
The merits of both of them will be reduced to marginal status, which is absolutely not allowed to happen to these two people.
Now that Xun Yu has become the Great Sinong, the situation has been greatly improved. You must know that the Great Sinong is in charge of the national economy. Not only is there huge oil and water, but it also requires a large number of manpower. If Xun Yu is willing to open the door, what will happen to the Xun family?
The growth of power will definitely play a major role in promoting it.
In the evening, Xun Yu held a family dinner openly and wanted to invite Xun You and Xun Chen to come over for a drink, but they both chose to refuse.
If Xun Yu had not become the Great Sinong before, they could have interacted with Xun Yu casually, but now that he was one of the Nine Qings, the Great Sinong, the two of them did not dare to get too close to Xun Yu.
The difference in status determines the relationship between them.
"Sir, both Mr. Xun said that they can't come over to the banquet because they don't have free time."
The person who went out to deliver the letter came to Xun Yu and directly told them about their situation.
"I understand, I ordered you to close the house."
After hearing the butler's words, Xun Yu also nodded. The reason why he openly invited the two people over was that he really wanted to drink with them. After all, if he could become a great farmer, their contributions were crucial. In order to
Expressing his gratitude, this banquet must be indispensable, but he also guessed that the two of them would not come,
On the other hand, Xun Yu also put on a show for everyone in Xindu to see, so that these people could see that there was no close connection between the three of them, and also to make the superior Yuan Shu feel at ease.
"promise."
The steward glanced at Xun Yu and immediately accepted the order with his fists clasped.
Xun Yu was closed here, and at the same time he arranged a family banquet. The news that Xun You and Xun Chen did not attend the banquet was directly sent to Ju Shou's residence.
"Sir, Xun Yu held a family banquet today and invited two Xunzhou pastors to visit the house, but neither of them went to the banquet. Now the Xun family has closed its doors to thank guests."
The informant glanced at Jushou and explained everything about the Xun residence.
"Sir, it seems that the relationship between Xun Yu and the two Xun adults is not very good."
A figure walked out of the shadows and spoke to Jushou. This person was the leader of the shadows organized by Jushu for Yuan Shu. He was dedicated to investigating the situation in various places, especially many ministers, who had shadow people inside.
"Debin, you are overthinking. The reason why they did not go is actually to show others that the relationship between the three of them is not good and to avoid suspicion, do you understand?
After all, the power of the Xun family is too strong now. Except for the lord's Yuan family, it can be said that they are already the best among all the others. If they are showing closeness, then once they are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, the Xun family may be doomed."
Regarding these things, Jushou sees these things clearly than anyone else. Although he is not from a wealthy family, the things are the same. If he were Xun and Chen, he would never go there.
"Since you said that, do you need to arrange more people in the three-person game?
After all, they are too powerful."
Zhang Yu also understood after hearing Jushu's words. Although he was not very smart, he was someone Jushu and Yuan Shu had confirmed. He was absolutely loyal and proficient in the art of concealment and assassination.
"Well, arrange for more secret agents to enter the three people's residences, especially Xun Yu's residence. In addition, we should also arrange for some people to go to Da Sinong's residence."
Jushou thought for a moment and gave the order directly to Zhang Yu.
"Does it also need to be arranged in Da Sinong's Mansion?"
Zhang Yu was a little confused about this, why Da Sinong's mansion also had to arrange people.
"Well, I want to see the reaction of the Xun family. In the past, Xun Chen and Xun You did very well, and no one in the Xun family was reused, but it's hard to say for Xun Yu.
He had just obtained the position of chief agricultural officer and had no one under his command. This gave the Xun family an opportunity. If Xun Yu really wanted to reuse the Xun family members under his command, there would be a reason for this.
Although the lord wants capable ministers and wants to reuse Xun Yu, the lord wants an isolated minister more. If Xun Yu really wants to bring up the Xun family, then he is not suitable for this position."
A flash of light flashed in Ju Shou's eyes. His original agreement with Xun Yu to serve as the chief agricultural officer was actually a test. If Xun Yu could understand the truth and be a lonely minister like Xun You and Xun Chen, then he would not say anything. If Xun Yu developed
Due to his own strength, he wanted to be a powerful minister, but he was the first to disagree.
"I understand, let's arrange someone."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness.
"Xun Yu, Xun Yu, I hope you won't live up to my lord's expectations for you, otherwise you will be doomed."
