"The common man Cai Yong pays homage to His Highness!"
"Your Majesty, Cai Mao, pays homage to His Highness!"
"Mr. Bozhe, please wake up!"
Gu Cheng stood up and helped Cai Yong up, nodded to Cai Mao and said, "Degui, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cai Yong stood up slowly. A flash of jealousy flashed in Cai Mao's eyes and he stood up as well.
When mentioning Cai Mao, people will inevitably think of his betrayal for glory and messy clan affairs, which was despised by people at the time.
In fact, this man later became the naval commander of Wei State, and he was absolutely capable. During the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu had to use a stratagem to alienate Cao Cao, and ordered Cao Cao to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun before he dared to carry out the subsequent fire attack.
Boat.
However, in this era, there is no shortage of talents, and bad character is a big problem. Naturally, Gu Cheng is not very interested in Cai Mao.
After a few compliments, Gu Cheng said sternly to Cai Yong: "I want to recruit you to be the crown prince and tutor, sir, please don't delay!"
Cai Yong lost countenance and bowed again: "How can ordinary people be so virtuous and capable..."
The Han Dynasty did not yet have the system of six masters, with three masters and three young masters. Now in the East Palace, the second master is the most critical——
The first is the prince's tutor, who tutors the prince, behaves like a teacher, and does not receive official subordinates;
The second is the Prince's Young Master, who not only provides guidance but also manages the Prince's officials and subordinates, and has greater power.
Even so, Cai Yong's transformation from a criminal who fled to the sea to the crown prince and tutor can be said to be a step to the sky!
Gu Cheng waited for Cai Yong to finish his humiliation, raised his hand and said: "Sir, there is no need to belittle yourself. Now that the Yellow Turban is at peace, the world is uncertain. I am thirsty for talents. Sir, please give me a helping hand to make the country peaceful and the barbarians surrender!"
"I am willing to serve your Highness wholeheartedly!"
Cai Yong stood up, tears streaming down his face, but he could not hide the joy in his eyes and brows.
To be favored by the future emperor and be worshiped as a teacher is the ultimate honor of a scholar. How can you not be happy?
Cai Yong had made a lot of preparations to return to Luoyang. After expounding the strategy of governing the country, he immediately said: "Your Highness, I have a talented person to recommend!"
The value of talents in this world lies not only in themselves, but also in how they recommend other talents.
This is the saying that benevolence is used to establish virtue, and understanding is used to promote virtuous people.
Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Now that I have entered Mr. Dharma's eyes, I will definitely be extraordinary. I would like to hear the details."
With Cai Yong's character, even if he has an old relationship with the Cai family in Jingxiang, it is impossible to recommend someone like Cai Mao.
Gu Cheng is actually a little curious about who he would recommend to him.
Cai Yongdao: "The Chen family of Yingchuan is known as Dede, and the boudoir is Yonghe, and all the children are named Chen Ji. Chen Ji has a son Chen Qun. He is long and elegant, and his righteousness is from beginning to end. He can be of great use."
"Chen Qun!" Gu Cheng nodded slightly.
The Chen family in Yingchuan is also one of the eight great aristocratic families in the world. There are indeed too many celebrities in Yingchuan. With the addition of the Xun family where Xun Yu and Xun You belong, there are actually two of the eight great aristocratic families.
However, during the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the two most famous people in Yingchuan were Zhang Liang and Chao Cuo. The fate of these two people formed a sharp contrast -
Zhang Liang assisted Taizu to achieve hegemony, protected his own life wisely, and retired after his achievements. Chao Cuo cut down the feudal vassal for Emperor Jing and showed his sharpness. However, he was cut in half by Emperor Jing, and his whole family was destroyed...
Precisely because of the lessons learned from the past, the Xun family and the Chen family are considered to be two relatively peaceful families among the eight great families in the world. During the party's imprisonment, the Chen family's children resigned one after another. Now Chen Qun is willing to serve as an official, which is also a sign of loyalty.
As for Chen Qun himself, he is not famous among the counselors of the Three Kingdoms because he did not come up with any clever strategies. However, one thing he did had a great impact, which was the creation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.
The first-grade official residence and the first-grade senior official were born from the hands of Chen Qun. Although it was just a sprout and was supplemented by later generations, it must be said that it inherited the imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty and the imperial examinations of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
significance.
If Jia Xu is a strategic talent, Chen Qun is an internal affairs talent. Gu Cheng is very satisfied with this recommendation: "Good!"
Cai Yong was greatly refreshed and said again: "Zhongmu County Magistrate Chen Gong, Zhongzheng is plotting, both inside and outside Funing. His Highness has set up Zhan Shifu, two provinces and four bureaus. Chen Qun is appointed as the secretary of Zhongshu, and Chen Gong is appointed as the general secretary. They can serve as
Your Highness shares your worries."
Chen Gong was born in a third-rate family, but he had a wide circle of heroes and friends with famous people in the country, so he was appreciated by Cai Yong.
He was much more resourceful than Chen Qun. He successively assisted Cao Cao and Lu Bu, both of whom played a decisive role. Later, in the White Gate Tower, Cao Cao was even reluctant to kill Chen Gong, but Chen Gong was determined to die. After his death, his family continued to care about him.
Cao Cao provided support.
In this world, there was originally a prince named Zhan Shi who managed the prince's official family, but there was no Zhan Shifu.
When Gu Cheng opened the government, he initially established two provinces and four bureaus. The Menxia Province was responsible for the regulation and admonishment of the attendants, the Zhongshu Province was responsible for the initiation of documents, food preparation, medicine storage, and military guards.
This refers to the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system of later generations, which was designed to divide the power of ministers in the court.
Of course, once the position is determined, the specific results will vary depending on the person.
If he is mediocre and is played by the courtiers, he will only make the East Palace a joke.
Cai Yong has obviously done his homework, and the choice of Er Chen is extremely clever.
Not only do they have personal abilities both internally and externally, but they also have the talents of kings and assistants. One is from a top wealthy family, and the other is from a failed family. There is also a faint check and balance between them.
It can be seen that Cai Yong already had his heart set on the position of Taifu before he knew he could do so.
Gu Cheng was very pleased.
However, the scholar died for his confidant, and Cai Yong's career was ups and downs. In fact, he knew that he had just come here, and recommending two people was the limit. However, he hesitated a little, and finally said: "Your Highness, I came all the way, but fortunately I was protected by a strong man.
If a man is brave enough to be brave, he will be more cautious in following the law, and he will be more respectful and less talkative. He can be a close guard for His Highness!"
After that, he bowed down again and said with sincerity and fear, "Old minister, I have absolutely no selfish motives!"
"Sir is so sincere, how could I not know that?"
Gu Cheng helped him up: "I escorted you here, but have you already arrived in Luoyang?"
"yes!"
"Call him into the palace!"
Half an hour later, a strong Tibetan man walked into the main hall.
He Jin was already tall and mighty, but this big man was actually half a head taller than him. He was walking like a dragon and a tiger, like a sacred mountain supporting the sky, as if as long as he was around, there was nothing to fear about the collapse of the sky and the earth.
"Xu Chu, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The big man came to the foot of the steps and saluted. Gu Cheng nodded and said: "What a fierce general. With this warrior, why worry about not being able to go north to defeat the foreign tribes in the future and repeat the feat of sealing the wolf to Xu (xū)?"
Xu Chu's eyes lit up, it was true that these four words represented the highest pursuit of a military commander, but the next moment, his face returned to calmness, and his voice rumbled and authentic: "Reporting to Your Highness, ordinary people are brave and wise, and they must not be compared to the champions. I am willing to protect you."
Your Highness, I will fight to the left and right with all my might!"
It's easy to know people, but it's hard to know yourself. Just by saying this, Xu Chu is a man of great wisdom and foolishness.
Gu Cheng knew that the more important bodyguards he had around him, the less likely they were to be handed over to a dumb-looking figure. He was satisfied in his heart and looked calm: "Go get the armor and weapons!"
Xu Zhu's eyes flashed with joy and he loudly promised: "As you command!"
After all the ministers had retired and the hall was quiet, Gu Cheng slightly closed his eyes and entered into practice.
The two civil and military officials recommended by Cai Yong are all capable ministers and fierce generals. Coupled with the clear name of this great scholar of the time, his future path to power will be much smoother.
But this is not enough.
Because not long after, the army returned to the court, the prince selected his concubine, there was a grand ceremony, officials from all over the country came to Luoyang, and that was when the curtain opened.
Even at home, with the power of the Flame Dragon Formation, Gu Cheng must improve himself as much as possible.
There are many talents under his command, and Gu Cheng did not disappoint——
Three days later, Chen Qun and Chen Gong arrived in Luoyang and took over the post of minister, and the influence of the East Palace became stronger and stronger;
A few days later, Cai Wenji reported: "Your Highness, the location of the White Jade Heavenly Lady Chakra has been found!"
Gu Cheng raised his brows and stood up slowly: "Where? Who owns it?"
"It's in Luoyang! It was once owned by Yu Ji!"
