Cui Yan was slightly surprised by Dong Zhaozha's remarks.
He turned to look at Dong Zhao carefully, and saw that although his face was full of dust, he was still smiling, and his eyes were calm and deep, which made him feel like he was submerged in water. He subconsciously took out a few mulberries from the fruit plate.
, the entrance is quite tasteless,
After a long while, Cui Yan began to laugh at himself: "Brother Gongren, could it be that you have found the wrong person? I, Cui Yan, am just a doctor of imperial studies. I have not made any progress in my official position for several years, so what use can I do?"
Dong Zhao saw the change in Cui Yan's expression and asked slowly, without saying a word: "Then what should I do if I want to enter the imperial court according to Ji Gui's wishes?"
Cui Yan quickly replied: "This is not difficult. Recently, many celebrities have come from Guanxi and Dongxi.
But there are not many people who are as talented as Mr. Gongren and have great reputations. I only need to go to the Sili Mansion in person and pay homage to Chen Shijun. Are you afraid that you will lose your official career?"
Speaking of this, it seemed that he was too ambitious about fame. Cui Yan felt he had lost his composure and quickly summoned Cang Tou to serve the dishes. When the dishes were served, Dong Zhao saw a carp and a bowl of soup cakes on the table, and he couldn't help but think of Luoyang.
In comparison, Luoyang was luxurious in those days. Anyone who held an official position in the court would have to eat at least four dishes, including deer soup and white water shield. The dishes in front of him were indeed shabby. Dong Zhao thought about this,
Can't help but smile.
Cui Yan has sharp eyes,
Seeing Dong Zhao laugh,
Mistakenly thinking that he was dissatisfied, he quickly explained that nowadays the government is still frugal. Last year, an additional 800,000 kilograms of rice were allocated for disaster relief. Each government is in a tight situation, so the officials in the government do not dare to be extravagant, and their daily diet is not enough.
They are yellow dogs, carp and crucian carp, no disrespect intended.
Dong Zhao didn't mind at all. The chopsticks in his hands kept burning, and he laughed as he ate, saying: "Ji Gui thought wrong. I'm just very sad. Back then, Ji Gui, you said that a man should be born with two thousand dan.
Ding Shi Niu Liquor, so heroic, but now he is also cautious,
It’s like drawing a circle on your own and not daring to go beyond it, it’s really frustrating!”
This is what I said,
This actually aroused Cui Yan's sadness. In the early years when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he followed Zheng Xuan and traveled east and west, from Luoyang to Pingyuan, and from Pingyuan to Jinyang, always accompanying his teacher. Many of them encountered rebels and thieves.
Dao, tired of turmoil, deeply felt that things in the world are impermanent and that he cannot control his own destiny, so he often had the idea of returning to his hometown to reflect on himself and avoid the chaos in the mountains. However, he thought that his teacher was still there, and later the court was considered stable, so he finally stayed with Zheng Xuan to pass on the legacy.
Mantle.
As a disciple, his biggest wish is to be recognized by his teacher. But in the past few years, he has been studying in Chang'an, and although he has made some gains, he was not recognized by Zheng Xuan after all. So Cui Yan also proposed to Zheng Xuan to become an official, but Zheng Xuan said
Although his knowledge was profound, his thoughts were not pure. He should teach and educate people in Taixue more to cultivate his moral character. Then he refused Cui Yan's invitation. Cui Yan was greatly hit, and all the ambitions in his heart faded for a while. At this time, Dong Zhao was excited, and Cui Yan's joy suddenly disappeared, and the bitterness rolled in his heart. He couldn't help but drink a glass of sake, and sighed to him: "It is human nature to be young and frivolous. But now that I am getting older, I know that what people can do is beyond their capabilities.
It can be determined by human power, but it also depends on one part of God’s will and another five part of timing.”
Seeing Cui Yan's disappointed expression, Dong Zhao also suppressed his smile and said slowly: "Ji Gui, if there is an opportunity, although it involves great risks, it can make you reach the sky in one step, would you dare to seize it?" Cui Yan was quite surprised when he heard this. He raised his head and was about to ask Dong Zhao what the opportunity was. But he saw Dong Zhao's eyes were bright and there seemed to be firelight flashing in his dark pupils. He had predicted Cui Yan's words in advance and shook his head and said
: "Don't ask, this is a serious matter and should never be talked about lightly."
Cui Yan was stunned. He lowered his head and pondered, but could not figure out Dong Zhao's intention at all. He raised his head and asked, "What does Gongren mean by saying this?"
Dong Zhao leaned forward slightly and said, "Help me enter Sili Mansion."
Cui Yan said doubtfully: "As I said before, brother can just go to the house, why do you need my help?"
Dong Zhao shook his head and said: "Although I have a little reputation, I have been in the capital of Jizhou for a long time, so I am suspicious. If I go straight to the mansion, the dragon head will not be willing to stay as a governor. Therefore, I have to ask Ji Guixiang to help me, and entrust him to leave."
Only when you work hard and work hard can you achieve something."
Cui Yan suddenly understood when he said this. Because of Zheng Xuan, most of the people under Chen Chong in Sili Mansion who were more than six hundred stones were familiar with them. If they were introduced by him, it would not be difficult for him to become an official. But he still asked: "
I can do it, but what exactly do you want to do, brother, can you tell me a little bit?"
Dong Zhao slowly shook his head and said, "The time has not come yet. I am still inquiring about the news. I will inform Ji Gui when I am fully prepared."
Cui Yan was slightly disappointed, but Dong Zhao's eyes were like a torch, and he immediately froze. The luck and desire in his heart were mixed, and he nodded in agreement and said: "That's fine."
Since the time of Guangwu, the Prime Minister Sizhi has been defeated by the province, and the three princes have taken away their power. Except for the powerful relatives, most of the power in the court has fallen into the hands of Sili Xiaowei, Shangshu Ling, and Yushi Zhongcheng, which is called the three independent positions.<
/p>
Among them, the Shangshu Ling is in charge of all documents in the country, reports to the emperor, and makes suggestions on political affairs, and is the head of the Central Dynasty. The Censor Zhongcheng is in charge of supervision, interpretation of laws, and can accept matters from ministers and county officials and submit them directly to the emperor, second only to the Shangshu Ling. p>
Si Lixiaowei is a bit special. He is both a capital official and a shepherd. He has direct jurisdiction over the affairs of all counties in Sizhou and maintains the order of the capital. He also detects violations of the law by hundreds of central officials, and all the east and west capitals are under his rule.
The person with the greatest real power besides the Emperor.
It's just that although these three are extremely powerful, the Eastern Han Dynasty has always been accustomed to using the humble to dominate the powerful, that is, the powerful ones are humble and short-lived. The three independent ministers sit in the ministerial order and the censor in the censorship. The official rank is only a thousand stones, and the Sili Xiaowei slightly
Well, it’s just more valuable than two thousand stones, and the rank is the same as the captain of each county.
However, since Chen Chong came to power, he personally served as the captain of the Sili school, recorded Shangshu affairs, and also served as Shangshu order. After Huangfu Li became the governor of Yuzhou, he once again served as Yushi Zhongcheng. The three separate positions were added to one person, resulting in the power of the Sili mansion.
Unprecedented expansion. Although he does not have the name of Prime Minister, he has the actual status of Prime Minister. Therefore, the emperor issued an order the year before last to promote the official rank of Sili Xiaowei to Zhong 2000 Shi, which is the same as Jiu Qing's salary and second only to San Gong. Therefore, the official rank of Zhong Gong Qing in the DPRK
He also secretly called Sili Mansion the Duxiang Mansion.

Nowadays, in the Sili Mansion, apart from Chen Chong, there are fourteen people in charge of affairs. These fourteen people are:
Du Guan is in charge of Yang Mi, Bie Jia is in charge of Kong Rong, Zhi Zhong is in charge of Yao Gong, Gong Cao is in charge of Ruan Yu, Bo Cao is in charge of Linghu Shao, Bing Cao is in charge of Guo Yao, Jun Shu is in charge of Yu Fan, Henan is in charge of Tao Qiu Hong, and Hedong is in charge of
Fan Xian, Hanoi was assigned to Xu Qian, Hongnong was assigned to Wang Ling, Jingzhao was assigned to Haozhou, Feng Yi was assigned to Wang Xiang, and Fufeng was assigned to Pei Qian.
Among them, the Duguan is responsible for overseeing hundreds of officials and supervising illegal activities. Therefore, there are six hundred secret histories under his command, distributed throughout the capital, to detect the news. Even though Chen Chong is known for appointing people on merit, he is not allowed to do this in key areas.
Don't treat it with caution, because the Yang family and the Chen family are brothers-in-law, so Yang Mi is used for this task. If he is not of pure origin, it will be difficult to enter.
Biejia was engaged in the work of Kong Rong, who was said to be the leader, but in fact he was only responsible for promoting agriculture and literature, and had nothing to do with Biejia's important power in the eastern states.
Among the rest of the jobs, although those engaged in Cao Cao and those engaged in prefectures and states have weight, their jurisdictions are limited, and their value is Chen Chong, who can be regarded as a diligent official, so their influence is not significant. Only those engaged in Yaogong in governance and Junshu in Yufan have a slight influence.
Different.
Junshu Engagement was a new establishment, and Chen Chong served as his student Yu Fan. Previously, Junshu Engagement was responsible for grain collection, customs duties, currency exchange, etc., and both the DPRK and the Central Government regarded it as the arm of Chen Chong's New Deal.
There was no administrative officer in Sili Mansion, but Chen Chong held three positions at the same time and could not handle everything. Therefore, an additional administrative officer was added, responsible for sorting out the documents of all the officials in the government and sending them to Chen Chong as required. This position was established once and had real power.
On the contrary, he is above all Cao Cao's work, so the candidate must be able to convince the public. Chen Chong considered it again and again, and thought that Yao Gong was demoted to the state for opposing Dong Zhuo. He has an upright temperament, but he has followed him since Jinyang, which is quite credible, and
Having been in charge of clerical work for many years, he has been entrusted with important responsibilities to this day.
Dong Zhao asked Cui Yan to help introduce him because he wanted to introduce him to Yao Gong.
On February 20th, after Cui Yan made an appointment with the Yao Mansion through correspondence, he and Dong Zhao met with Yao Gong. Yao Gong was a scholar, so he naturally respected Zheng Xuemen very much. When the two arrived, his son Yao Hui greeted them at the door.
, calling Cui Yan sir. After Dong and Cui entered the government, Yao Gong, who was engaged in governing the country, had been waiting for a long time.
Dong Zhao also met Yao Gong in Luoyang in his early years. At that time, he went to Beijing for examination as a Xiaolian and spent a short time in Taixue. It was during this time that he met Cui Yan and other people from Zheng Xuanmen, and also met in Beijing.
All the famous people from China flowed into Taixue to participate in lectures, and Yao Gong was among them, but Yao Gong didn't recognize him.
Now we meet again. Although Yao Gong's temples are gray due to the labor of writing documents, his face is extremely clear and his conversation is gentle, just like the spring breeze outside the door, which makes people feel good.
Cui Yan first exchanged greetings with Yao Gong, and then introduced Dong Zhao to him. When Dong Zhao saw his eyes, he nodded slightly and saluted, then stepped forward and said, "I have met Yao Gong."
Yao Gong couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, handsome in appearance, like a mountain with winding rocks when walking, and like a white crane folding its wings when saluting.
The guests and hosts sat down and talked about the local people of Hebei, the mountains and rivers of Guanzhong, the customs and customs of Guanzhong, or the stories of Bingzhou, the old news of the past dynasties, and everything was designed from all over the world. At noon, there was a banquet, and Yao Gong's second son Yao Li and third son Yao Tong all came to accompany him.
Gong and Dong Zhao chatted happily, and the time passed without realizing it.
It wasn't until after dinner, when the guests and hosts were about to part, that the two parties got down to business.
Yao Gong said slowly: "I have heard about Gongren's reputation in Guanzhong. It's just that Gongren was originally a two-thousand-stone county guard. Now that he is stationed in our vassal, he can only be a three-hundred-stone official. It can be said that he is a low-ranking shrub."
.I am quite puzzled. Can Gongren help me?"
After Dong Zhao heard this, he shook his head slightly and said: "Yao Gong is wrong. Zhao came from the capital of Jizhou and originally belonged to Yuan Benchu's family. Yuan Benchu's disobedience is known to the world, so Zhao's origin can be said to be a sinful minister. Now there is Chen Envoy in the court
Your assistance is just like Zhou Gong Yi Yin's assistance, making the world return to its heart. Asking for Yao Gong's blessings, joining the Fubi Center is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. How can it be said that it is a low position? Please ask Yao Gong to fulfill it."
After hearing this, Yao Gong stroked his beard and thought deeply. After a while, he nodded and said, "I have been quite tired in the past few years. Since Gongren has this idea, I will rely on you to take care of me in the future."
Dong Zhao saluted again and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Yao."
