Just when Lu Bu was ready, Zhuge Liang hurriedly shouted. He naturally knew that Lu Guozhang was also on his side, but the key problem was this. Now these people have not made an attack, but
He just wanted to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the new official system with him. In this case, if he did not give an explanation and directly let Lu Bu forcefully oppress him, then things would go bad.
Since this is a normal discussion, it is best not to use force first.
Otherwise, wouldn't it make it seem like the new official system is worse than the old one, and the only way to silence others is through intimidation?
Zhuge Liang thought so, so when he found out that Lu Bu was planning to come forward to argue, he immediately walked out, looked at the mighty Lu Guozhang in front of him, and said with a smile: "What the emperor is doing now is Zhuge Liang's.
You asked about the merits of official positions. I am the one who proposes new strategies. It is most appropriate for me to answer. As the head of the state, I am responsible for the safety of Luoyang and outside, so it is inappropriate to participate in this dispute."
When Lu Bu heard this, he frowned and looked at the emperor above.
Liu Xi shook his head slightly and said nothing.
Lu Bu then returned to his position, half-squinting his eyes, and had no intention of taking action. As for Zhuge Liang, he also breathed a sigh of relief, not just him, but everyone else. Zhuge Liang laughed and looked at the question just now
After Lu Bu's threats, the arrogant aura of these people had disappeared, and now their eyes were no longer so calm.
"It's hard for you, an important official in the temple, to connect the system with capable ministers. According to the Duke's words, there were many famous ministers during the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers period. Could it be that there were no outstanding people before that? Hahaha,
Such stupid words, I really didn’t know you said them out loud, it makes people laugh. I don’t even bother to argue with you. I have a son named Zuozhan in my family. You can compete with him and discuss with me. It’s really difficult for you.”
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he actually bowed to the man, seemingly apologetic.
The Yilang's face suddenly turned red, his eyes seemed to be filled with blood, and he was speechless.
"Jun Zhuge, what we are discussing is a new system. Please don't say anything else. I would like to ask you, this new system has never been implemented anywhere. If it is used in temples rashly, if anything goes wrong, sir.
But can you afford it?" Guo Tu, the young master, suddenly asked.
Zhuge Liang asked with some confusion: "Guo Jun, what you said makes me a little confused. What mistakes can be caused by changing the official system? Oh! I understand! What Guo Jun means is that if the official system is changed,
, Your Excellency is going to rebel?"
Guo Tu was shocked, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said angrily: "Don't spit on others, why did I say such words? Are you threatening me?!"
"No, it's not me who is intimidating you, but you who are intimidating me. In today's temple, except for you, there are all talented and loyal talents. I think the restructuring of the temple will not affect it at all.
When you see them, you said something like this and said it was a mistake. Isn't it a threat to me, even to the ministers, and to your majesty?!!!" Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his voice.
"You!! This!!" Guo Tu trembled, but could not speak.
He quickly looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing this. Please tell me clearly!!"
Liu Xi did not speak in a hurry, but just nodded towards him.
Guo Tu still couldn't calm down in his heart. Looking at Zhuge Liang in front of him, his heart was full of grief and anger. He didn't expect that he would be forced to this point by a junior today. This guy is good at sophistry and can find loopholes in other people's words.
The attacks were almost always aimed at the most lethal point, which made everyone a little scared. If you lose in an argument with others, you will lose face at most. If you lose in an argument with Zhuge Liang, you will be sent to the imperial court, which is a bit scary.
Zhuge Liang looked at the crowd. For a moment, everyone did not dare to speak in a hurry. With one person, he actually shocked all the officials in the temple. Of course, this was also because the three princes did not take the lead. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would have been overwhelmed by the sea of people.
, at this moment, another minister said with a smile: "What Mr. Zhuge said is true. The advantages and disadvantages of the new system will naturally have to wait until it is implemented."
"However, this new system makes me a little confused..." The person who spoke seemed to be under Sikong's command, but Zhuge Liang couldn't remember his name clearly. He only knew that although this person was under Sikong's command, he was not related to Situ.
He has a close relationship with Sikong, but his relationship with Sikong is not very good, and he has a very high status in Sikong's mansion. He even tried to ignore Liu Bei at first, but now he is suppressed by Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang frowned and thought about his name. It seemed that he was called Xu You?
The scribe touched his long beard and muttered: "In the temple, there are all talented people, but in the local area, they are just like fish and fish, and it is difficult to distinguish them. The power of the state pastor is supposed to be implemented for ten years. When the national policy is completed, it will be
You want to take it back, but now, you want to make the state pastoral system a permanent system. In this case, the state pastoralist is like a local prince. Even if he is not given military power, he can still raise soldiers with financial support. This move is not poaching.
Is it the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty?"
"Oh, of course, as Zhuge Jun is a relative, he will not do such a thing. Besides, Zhuge Jun is also a temple official, not a local official. Doing this will not bring Zhuge Jun any benefit, right?
..", Xu You asked with a smile.
"Hehehe, he is a local official, what kind of temple official?" someone suddenly shouted.
"Oh??" Xu You's eyes widened and he asked doubtfully: "He is a local magistrate?? Then this..." He only said half of what he said and stopped talking. Faced with his attack
, Zhuge Liang did not panic. With such a lame alienation plan, it was impossible for the emperor to fall into the trap and doubt himself. After all, the emperor also knew that he was just the spokesperson who was pushed out. It was mainly formulated by Guo Jia and Xun Yu.
Say Guo Jia wants to rebel locally??
Of course, we cannot but rule out the possibility of this. In Guo Jia, he was taken away by the embroidered messengers several times because he shouted for rebellion, but in those cases, he was taken away too much.
Liu Xi was still speechless. Today, Emperor Xiaokang was deeply favored by Emperor Xiaoxian. Emperor Xiaoxian was the most impatient. Many times, he would impatiently give orders directly, or directly raise them himself, so that others could not refute. But today, Emperor Xiaoxian was the most impatient.
It was different. In the temple, his temperament was more like that of Emperor Xiaokang. He was very patient and never spoke easily. He always waited for the ministers to reach an agreement before expressing their approval.
Zhuge Liang said: "What Mr. Xu said is true."
"But the state pastor can also restrict it with the law, and the minister can supervise it on his behalf."
"Zhuge Jun, you are not an official of the temple. You were the state pastor of a place a month ago, not the nine ministers of the temple. The temple discusses politics. As for the local area, how can you, the local state pastor, interfere?!", said
The person is Chen Gong.
So, under the leadership of Xu You, many temple veterans began to criticize Zhuge Liang. The temple was extremely chaotic. Xu You was smiling, but he was still too young. How can you resist me by yourself?
Among all the other ministers, including Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Chen Gong, Wang Xiu, Kuai Yue, Yin Ji, etc., who can be worse than you, Zhuge Liang...
This generation of temple officials... is indeed the most outstanding. It is precisely because of this that it is surprisingly difficult to suppress the entire temple. Zhuge Liang still did not panic, but he did not think about what Xu You mentioned.
When he was about to explain the question, Xun Yu suddenly came out and looked at everyone.
The people who were disapproving of Zhuge Liang all stopped smiling, and their faces gradually became serious. Xun Yu looked at the people and asked with a smile: "Gentlemen, why do you need to embarrass the younger generations? Why don't you let me explain these issues?
....”
"Mr. Xun, this is Zhuge's suggestion. What does it have to do with Gong Xun?"
"Hey, I think this new system is good. I think the local state pastoral system is also good. As for what you said about the power of state pastoralists, haha, this is very simple... Your Excellency, in the near future, I will preside over the
The incident in Yangfen County has suddenly inspired me. It may be possible to build a state in the world. There is no benefit in the state and county being too big. On the contrary, it is good to subdivide it, which is good for temples and localities."
"Dividing the original state into two or even three states... This will be beneficial to the control of local officials and even the efficiency of local operations... The state pastoral system will also be solved... What do you think?
?", Xun Yu asked slowly.
Xu You stared at him for a long time, then nodded slightly and said, "That's it."
Compared with Zhuge Liang's sophistry, Xun Yu is on the other extreme. If you have a problem, I can just solve it for you. If you continue to ask, what other problems do you have?
Xu You looked at the people around him. In fact, they were not in the same group. On weekdays, they had many quarrels and conflicts. As for the new system, not all of them opposed it. However, no
The young people are still worried in their hearts, fearing that there will be no place for them in the new official system. In recent years, the number of candidates in the Imperial College has been increasing, and there are countless people waiting to take their place.
The temple was silent for a moment again.

"Since the three princes have agreed! Then I, the Yushitai, have no objections!!! Just do what Zhuge Jun said!!!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly. Listening to his voice, many ministers
Everyone nodded, "That's right, the three gentlemen have agreed. Maybe we can try this new system."
Following Zhang Fei's lead, a group of supporters of the new system quickly appeared among the officials. They began to make a noise and talked about the advantages of the new system. Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded, and the secrets he had arranged also began to appear.
It started, and everything was moving in a good direction. It seemed that today's matter was going to be completed! Zhang Fei was ecstatic, but he didn't show it.
Xu You's face was ashen and speechless.
"Then I would like to ask, what should we do now about the three officials and the hundred officials? Who will select the hundred officials in this new system? What is the basis? What are the standards?"
"If it was you, Zhuge Liang, who elected you, I would like to ask, what qualifications do you have to be able to choose a hundred officials in the temple?"
A handsome young scribe walked out from among the crowd. His face was full of strong confidence in himself. He stood around Xu You and other ministers and looked at Zhuge Liang. This man looked still young, but
, his words were full of arrogance and disdain. It seemed that he even looked down upon Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang did not recognize this person. He squinted his eyes and asked doubtfully: "I wonder who you are? What position do you hold?
I didn’t know?”
"Yang Xiu, a doctor of economics, has met Mr. Zhuge."
