The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively and everyone was very happy. However, Sun Jian felt like he was in a world of ice and snow, and his whole body could not help but tremble. He did not expect that the emperor actually had such a plan to reform the official system. This was not
One thing, according to the emperor, must be drastically changed not only in local areas, but also in temples.
So, are these three of them also among them?
At this time, Liu Xi just looked at Sun Jian. Sun Jian was sitting next to the emperor. The emperor looked at him gently, looked into his eyes, and said: "Mr. Taiwei, I have only decided on these matters recently.
We didn't announce it to the outside world just for fear of people taking precautions. Thinking about it, Taiwei Gongyou wouldn't object to it. After all, this is a great thing for the world."
Sun Jian pursed his lips, looked at the generals around him, nodded, and said: "I must keep my mouth shut."
"That's good, Taiwei. I believe you. After the temple is restructured, we still have to rely on the Taiwei to help solve all military matters. By the way, I heard that there is a meat porridge shop in the east of the city, which is quite good.
If you want to try it, when you get a chance, I will definitely go there."
Sun Jian lowered his head and said nothing.
The banquet continued until midnight. Everyone was a little drunk. The emperor just ordered them to be sent back. However, Sun Jian was stopped by the emperor. He followed the emperor and entered the Houde Hall together. Only the two of them were left.
The emperor rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and then said: "Your Majesty, you have raised some incredible sons for me!"
Sun Jian sat respectfully in front of the emperor and said, "If you are useless, you will not be worthy of your majesty's praise."
"Hey, don't talk like that. Both Bo Fu and Zhong Mou are my confidants. Bo Fu will definitely lead the Southern Army in the future, and even the military attache position in the DPRK after the restructuring will definitely be
The day he sat down, as for Zhong Mou, he was always by my side, helping me recommend talents. He has a really good eye for people and has never made a mistake. I feel that the position of Situ may be very suitable.
he."
Hearing the emperor's words, Sun Jian suddenly raised his head. Among his children, one can be a captain and the other can be a disciple? How is this possible? He was a little confused whether the emperor was testing him, so he could only be cautious.
He said: "Your Majesty, Bo Fu is acceptable, but Zhongmou has no virtue as a disciple."
"Hahaha, I know what you are thinking. In the future, this Situ will become a false position and will not be given real power. What I am talking about is an official position appointed by officials. It is also similar to Situ. When he gets a new official position, he will do everything.
If we divide them more carefully, we will give more talented people positions to serve the country. Mr. Taiwei, what do you think?"
"Good."
"Yes, it is indeed very good. In today's temples, the functions of the three princes are chaotic. Situ is in charge of officials, land, taxes, and supervision. Sikong is in charge of the treasury, supervision, and taxes. The Taiwei is in charge of weapons, transfers, conquests, and the nine ministers under his command.
, and there are land, supervision, taxation and other powers, it is too confusing, and the power is too concentrated in the hands of the three gongs and nine ministers, many young people can only waste their lives."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
"Hahaha, I am very happy with the words of Duke Taiwei. Very good, Duke Taiwei. I know that you have a good relationship with the officials in the temple. I don't know, Taiwei may help them.
?" Liu Xi asked with a smile.
Sun Jian frowned, looked at the emperor with some doubts, and asked: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? How can I help them?"
Liu Xi slowly approached Sun Jian, and the two looked at each other. Liu Xixiao lowered his voice, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Of course, before I kill them, stop them and don't let them make mistakes.
I really don’t want to use the knife on the ministers under my command. The status, power, and wealth I gave them are theirs. If I want to take them away, they can’t object to the Taiwei, what do you think?”
Looking at this gentlest face and speaking such cruel words, Sun Jian felt horrified. His face was stiff and he nodded.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Liu Xi laughed and sent Sun Jian away from the palace.
When he returned home, his family members were all fast asleep. Sun Jian did not wake them up. He went into the inner room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, just early in the morning, Sun Ce wandered out of the house, stretched, yawned, and walked to the front yard. As soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw Sun Jian sitting in the front yard, holding a book.
Sun Ce was actually reading the book seriously. Sun Ce was stunned and couldn't help but slowly walked to Sun Jian's side. He lowered his head and looked at it too. Sun Jian was actually reading the Analects of Confucius?
"Father? Why did you start reading this kind of book?" Sun Ce suddenly spoke. Sun Jian was so frightened that he almost dropped the book in his hand. Sun Jian suddenly looked at Sun Ce beside him and said angrily: "You
What do you want? Are you in a hurry to get the inheritance? If you want the inheritance, just ask and I will give it to you directly. There is no need to do it openly like this!!"
Sun Ce was a little helpless and walked behind Sun Jian and slowly rubbed his shoulders, "Father, what are you talking about? I served as a vanguard in the Southern Army and was considered half a scout. It is not normal for me to walk silently.
What?"
Sun Jian snorted without saying anything and continued to read the book in his hand. Sun Ce pinched his father's shoulders and asked again: "Father? Why did you start reading The Analects of Confucius? Aren't you supposed to read The Art of War?"
"After studying the art of war all my life, what else should I study about the art of war? Recently, I have had many doubts in my heart, so I read the books of saints to see if they could help me. Well, it is still somewhat useful. At least, I think
"A lot of things have been solved," Sun Jian said, and suddenly asked: "Bo Fu, is the matter in Guishan as Wen Yuan said? Everything has been bribed?"
"Well, Father, I can't say much about these things. Let's just ask about other things."
"Oh? Then when will you let me be a yeh?"
"Ahem, Dad, speaking of this Kushan, for some reason, the system is so weird. They don't regard the people at the bottom as human beings. Even the status of livestock is higher than them. General Zhang learned from them
Purchasing slaves is cheaper than buying cattle and sheep, and the people of Kushan, no matter high or low, have no regard for family and country at all, and will not feel ashamed at all for betrayal."
"Earlier, I hated corrupt scholars and didn't like to read any books. But after seeing Kuishang, I realized why Kong Sheng was a saint."
They were chatting when suddenly, someone behind them asked: "What kind of saint is this?"
Sun Ce was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He turned around, but it was Sun Quan who stood behind him at some point. He tilted his head and was listening to their words carefully. Sun Ce became furious and said loudly: "You
What do you want to do? Are you in a hurry to grab the inheritance? If you want the inheritance, just say so! I will give it all to you, don’t use this method to harm me!"
Sun Quan looked at him blankly, but Sun Jian couldn't help laughing.
Sun Ce pulled Sun Quan over and looked at him seriously, "Well, that's good. When I left, I was still a young kid. He hugged me and cried and wouldn't let me go. Now he's an adult, okay, okay.
", Listening to his brother's praise, Sun Quan smiled without saying a word, his eyes were full of confidence and his temperament was extraordinary.
The father and son sat in the front yard and had breakfast.
While eating, Sun Quan asked with some confusion: "Brother, why are you so angry so early? You just came back very late last night."
"I'm used to it. I wake up as soon as the time comes. Father, why did you get up so early?" Sun Ce said and looked at Sun Jian. Only then did he notice that Sun Jian had bags under his eyes.
He didn't have a good rest, and he might not even sleep all night. Sun Quan naturally noticed it, but he didn't ask, and Sun Ce instantly understood why Sun Jian was like this.
He pursed his lips, and without waiting for Sun Jian's reply, he said, "Father, you don't have to worry about anything. Your child is here."
"If you weren't here, I really wouldn't have anything to worry about," Sun Jian said helplessly.
Sun Ce obviously no longer wanted to talk about this matter. He already regretted it after asking Sun Jian. So, he did not answer Sun Jian's words, turned his head, looked around, and asked: "Where is Sanlang? He is at this time
Aren’t you awake yet?”
Sun Quan cleared his throat and said, "I gave him a lesson yesterday, maybe he was still on the bed."
"Ah? Why?"
"This guy has a bad temper. He can't control himself, and he can't even control his mouth. Yesterday he insulted Zhuge and Sima in public. Last night I took them back to the mansion and found this guy whipping Zhao Lang. Just
Because Zhao Lang failed to bring him hot water in time, he was severely beaten by him. I was really angry, so I gave him a lesson for you, father and brother."
Sun Ce frowned. He didn't seem to have expected that his third brother would become like this. Sun Jian was even more so. He slammed the wooden case and shouted: "This guy doesn't dare to come to see you and me! He doesn't dare to come!"
!!I, Sun Jian, am a hero all his life, but my sons are so unsatisfactory! They are so unsatisfactory! They have the guts to whip the servants at home, but why don’t they dare to touch the children of other families?!”
Seeing Sun Jian's irritable look, Sun Ce quickly said: "Father, don't be angry. I will go and talk to him later."
Sun Jian sighed helplessly and said, "Erlang, go back to the study first. I have something to tell your brother." Sun Quan nodded and left quickly.
Sun Jian then looked at Sun Ce and said: "There is something that I have never been able to figure out. I have been thinking about it all night and can't fall asleep. Tell me. I will never tell others. Who is the person who helps the emperor and comes in contact with you?
Is he sleeping? Who has such ability? Who can travel between Xizhou and Luoyang? Even I don’t know the specific information about the general of the Southern Army, how did that person know?"
"Zhang Liao said he had special respect for that person. Who is he?"
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I have never seen him, I have only heard about him from everyone. However, everyone did not say his name, but just replaced him with that person, so we do not know the specific situation.
.”
Sun Jian frowned and thought seriously. If this person could be sent by the emperor to carry out such a thing, he must be a confidant of the emperor, Xun Yu? No, he had never set foot in Jingzhou or even Xizhou before. Guo Jia That's not right. He is so busy at the Chancellor's desk all day long and has no time to do these things. Xing Zi'ang, Hua Xiong, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi
Sun Jian gritted his teeth, but he couldn't think of anyone who could contact those generals without telling him.
Or, is it Yuan Shang??
No, no, it took seven years of planning. How old was Yuan Shangcai seven years ago! Could it be Zhang He?
That's not right. At Zhang He's age, can he still go to Xizhou?
"Hmph, no matter who this person is, it can be seen that he must be a cunning and insidious person. He may have stayed in Xizhou, and he is extremely cautious in doing things and does not reveal any flaws. If they hadn't said it themselves, they wouldn't have even said it. The Taiwei Mansion doesn’t even know that such a situation exists. Maybe the Northern Army is also like this. I really hope to see this person face to face!"
Sun Jian thought silently in his heart.
At this time, Luoyang was in an ordinary house.
The old man was sitting on the bed, with his messy hair and beard unkempt. He was wearing dirty clothes and leaning on a soft pillow. He was reading a book in his hand. He squinted his eyes and could barely see clearly. Suddenly, he hit him hard several times. After sneezing, a young man came in quickly, looked at the old man on the bed, and asked: "Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry about it. Are all the Southern troops back?"
"Master, you are all back. I heard that we had a banquet at the palace last night!"
"That's good, that's good. In this way, the Southern Army and the Northern Army are all loyal to His Majesty. There is no need to worry about things in the temple. Cough cough cough cough cough." The old man suddenly shouted violently. He started coughing, looked at the particularly worried young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, Master, I felt a little wronged by you when I took you out of the Southern Army and asked you to follow me. After I die, ah"
"Master," the young man quickly interrupted the old man's words.
The old man shook his head helplessly, slowly lay down and continued to rest.
The young man helped him change the quilt, and then left the place. The young man opened the door of the house, walked out, and closed the door again.
There is a small plaque hanging on the door, with the slender word Jia Fu written on it.
"Your Majesty, what I have done must not be leaked to anyone. I hope your Majesty will not mention my name. Just pretend that you don't have me and that you don't recognize me. When the affairs of the Southern Army generals are completed, I will go back. After ten years in Xizhou, it is best to send both the Northern and Southern armies to the northwest to guard against the reputation of Kuishang. In this way, I can get in touch with them. In addition, I need someone to show up for me. This person needs to be witty, brave, and loyal to the emperor. , It just so happens that I value a son who may be able to help me."
"I pay my respects to Jia Xu, the governor of Xizhou."
ps: The foreshadowing has been buried for so long, hahaha, why is Jia Xu always in Xizhou, but no one pays attention to him? Why does he disappear in front of everyone again after coming to Luoyang? Why does he not directly show up when he comes back? When Zhuge Liang came to pay homage to the Emperor, why did Liu Xi, who had read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, say he had never heard of this person when Zhuge Liang praised him? Why did Xu Shu and Lu Xun go to the Southern Army, but disappeared in the middle? Hehe, hehe, it was finally revealed.
