The various arrangements Liu Xi made to defend against the Three Dukes, including the generals of the Southern Army, failed to come into use in the end. The Three Dukes' quick concession was something Liu Xi never expected. As for the others, they had already been angry when Lu Bu was angry.
After that, he agreed to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, which made Zhuge Liang very shocked. He did not expect that he wasted nearly half an hour on talking, but it was not as good as a strong bow in Lu Bu's hand.
Of course, Liu Xi is still very happy. After all, there are no big twists and turns, which is the best. Even if Liu Xi wants to make the world more perfect, for these people who have devoted their lives to the Han Dynasty, he
I don't want to be too harsh, and I don't have any murderous intentions. It's acceptable that the matter can be solved in this way, except that one person died.
I have never heard of any change without bloodshed.
Since there was no rebuttal, Zhuge Liang easily gave up the right to speak to Xun Yu. Xun Yu began to explain the new system in detail. The ministers listened carefully. Since they could not resist, they had to defend themselves within the new system.
A way out was also found, and the court meeting continued for more than an hour before it ended. Sangong and Xun Yu were left behind by the emperor, and the others left.
Houde Hall
Liu Xi sat in the Hall of Houde. Sangong and Xun Yu sat calmly in front of the emperor. They did not show any fear at all. They were very different from the other officials. Liu Xi chuckled and said: "This is a big event."
This policy is thanks to the support of the Three Dukes, otherwise it would not have had such an effect, especially Duke Cao, who is very tired. If it were not for you, I am afraid that this great policy would not be completed!"
Liu Xi smiled, and Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the emperor in front of him, couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister, there is no need to be like this."
Liu Bei on the side also smiled, but he had already cursed in his heart. Sure enough, the emperor had discussed it with Cao Cao a long time ago, and they made it together. Sun Jian on the side also looked at Cao Cao with some surprise. Could it be that the emperor was here?
Before summoning him, Cao Cao had made these plans. Then, the emperor looked at Liu Bei and said, "Today, Sikong did not care about personal gains and losses, and gave his full help. It is really rare!"
"Your Majesty, you don't dare to do this. This is the duty of a minister." Liu Bei quickly returned the greeting.
"Mr. Taiwei, what happened to Meng Aiqing, alas, I never thought it would be like this. I will send someone to take care of his wife. In addition, I will ask Zhi Jinwu to pay compensation and go to worship in person."
I hope Duke Taiwei will not blame you!" Liu Xi said helplessly, but Sun Jian shook his head and said: "I have already advised him, but it is a pity, it is really a pity..."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Liu Xi looked at Xun Yu and said, "Mr. Xun, why have I never heard of the method of subdividing places you just mentioned?"
Xun Yu said slowly: "This is what I just thought of. If we divide the states and counties again, it will cause some chaos in a short time, but in the long run, it will definitely be beneficial."
Liu Xi nodded, "Indeed, it is beneficial... Mr. Xun, fortunately you are here... I won't have to worry..." Xun Yu didn't dare to say, and the emperor paused.
Just now he said: "In the near future, the restructuring of the imperial court will trouble you. You can arrange the talents in the imperial court as you like. The formulation should be completed as soon as possible. As for the local arrangements, I have my own arrangements!"
"I promise!" Xun Yu bowed to the emperor.
Liu Xi asked Xun Yu to go back and rest early, and then looked at the three men in front of him.
If the system is to be restructured, then the Three Gongs will naturally lose all their current power and have to be rearranged. However, Liu Xi's reorganization, in addition to ending the chaos of the official system in the temple, the most important thing is to reduce the influence of the Sangong in the temple.
If the status of San Gong is reduced, and if these three people are allowed to continue to serve as the Order of Santai, what is the difference between it and the same?
But we can't just let them go home. Regardless of their talents or qualifications, they haven't had time to go home and rest yet.
Liu Xi was thinking in his mind, looked at Situ Cao Cao, and said: "Mr. Cao, the temple is being reorganized, but I don't intend to directly remove the three men. After all, these three have been great men all their lives. I trust them very much and don't want to do that.
Therefore, I have decided to leave the post of the Three Dukes. As long as you are in good health, the Three Dukes will exist!" After hearing Liu Xi's words, the three of them quickly thanked him.
"Cao Situ, I hope you can do something for me."
"Oh? What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"I ask Mr. Cao to help me plan the opening of the Han Dynasty canal. It must be comprehensive and cover the whole world...including Guishang..." Liu Xi looked at him seriously and said: "When the country becomes strong, I will let Situ
My father-in-law will personally take care of this matter and complete this great undertaking!!" Upon hearing Liu Xi's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Is it okay to plan any way?"
"Naturally, I want to plan in the most comprehensive and grand direction. When the canal is completed, I will name it Caogong Canal..."
"Hahaha!! Goodness!! Great kindness!!"
"I will do my best!" Cao Cao bowed to the emperor. He knew clearly that he would probably not be able to look forward to the day of building the canal. However, it was good to be able to plan for the future. In disguise,
It can be considered that I, Cao Mengde, have accomplished something that will last forever.
Liu Xi then looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei already understood in his heart that the emperor would not continue to use them in the temple. This was just to find something for them to do. Cao Cao didn't care, but Liu Bei was different. He had just formulated a ten-year plan.
, had just started, could it be that it was about to be removed? This made him feel particularly uncomfortable, but he was helpless. In the end, he was just a minister, and no matter what the order was, he could only obey it.
Liu Xi seemed to see his doubts and said with a smile: "Sikong, you can't leave the temple. You are the one who proposed the great policy for these ten years. You can't be left out. You are in the temple, teaching those people."
Young man, how about continuing to implement the ten-year strategy?" Liu Bei raised his head and was overjoyed. He originally thought that he would be sent out like that by Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that the emperor would continue to let him stay.
Temple.
"I am old and I am afraid that I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations..."
"Hahaha, Sikong doesn't have to be humble!"
Finally, it was Sun Jian's turn. Sun Jian had already understood in his heart that the Taiwei's Mansion was going to be replaced by the so-called Military Mansion. He was afraid that he could not do anything. Liu Xi took out a folded piece of paper from under the case and handed it to him.
He gave it to Sun Jian and said seriously: "Mr. Taiwei, this is the map of Guishang. It records various internal and external situations in detail, including the analysis of the enemy and ourselves. I hope that Mr. Taiwei can formulate some rough strategies for me to attack Guishang."
....”
"Okay!" Sun Jian couldn't help shouting, and almost jumped up. The displeasure just now was swept away, and his whole person seemed to be alive again.
Seeing the three of them like this, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. After chatting with the three of them for a long time, Liu Xi asked, "I heard that there is a porridge shop in the east of the city. When will you take me to eat there?"
"Hey, Your Majesty can't go there."
"Oh? Why?"
"When I go there, I always ask others to pay. I never bring any money! If your Majesty goes there, we will have to pay!"
"Hahaha!!"
The three men walked out of the palace happily and ended the meeting.
After walking out of the palace, Sun Jian couldn't wait to say goodbye to Cao Cao and Liu Bei. He had to go back to study this map and conquer Guishang. This was a thought he would never forget. He hurriedly left here, leaving only Cao Cao and Liu Bei got off the carriage, shook their heads, and walked calmly towards the carriage. As they walked on the road, Cao Cao asked with a smile: "How are you, do you want to finish the porridge?"
There was no smile on Liu Bei's face. He looked at Cao Cao aside solemnly and asked: "Mr. Cao, have you already known what happened today?"
Cao Cao was stunned, stroking his beard and asked: "I said I just found out today, would you believe it?"
"If it is what Mr. Cao says, I will naturally believe it."
"Well... I just found out today."
"That's it." Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "Mr. Cao, there are still some things in my house, so let's take the first step!" After saying that, he left without looking back, watching Liu Bei go away. From behind, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly. He knew that Liu Bei would not believe it. The contact that he finally had might be broken off like this in the future.
Not long ago, Cao Cao had actually noticed something was wrong, but he didn't care. Today's emperor is not a fool, and he would never do anything stupid. Therefore, he acted calmly and had nothing in his heart. Today, he just learned the whole story, and what he just said was really the truth.
However, the emperor's words in the Hall of Houde directly put Cao Cao on the blame for conspiring with the emperor in advance. The emperor's words were quite ambiguous. It can be understood that Cao Cao did not speak out today, so he let Xin Zhi Success can also be understood as Cao Cao's conspiracy in advance and his participation in this matter. As a party involved, Cao Cao could not express any other words for the emperor's praise, but could only express his gratitude.
Cao Cao laughed again. Faced with the emperor's various methods, he did not feel disgusted, but he felt sincere appreciation. Before he ascended the throne, this emperor was a well-known virtuous prince. His benevolence, righteousness, and gentleness made everyone happy. , after ascending the throne, he made full use of talents from all walks of life, selected talents and promoted talents, and listened to advice. He must be said to be a wise king.
However, Cao Cao had long seen that the emperor was not as weak as he showed. When he was still the prince, Cao Cao had already seen it. He deliberately created some things to improve his reputation, and even Continuously getting close to many ministers and establishing his own invisible power is definitely not something a weak prince can do.
Sure enough, not long after he ascended the throne, he gradually showed his fangs, dismissed all the original ministers and replaced them with his own confidants.
Later, on the grounds that it was the anniversary of Emperor Xiaokang's death, the three princes were removed from their personal entourage and the three princes were isolated.
After ten years of strategic planning, we deployed local manpower in advance, recalled the Southern Army, and quickly carried out restructuring. I am afraid that this restructuring was not initiated by Zhuge Liang or Xun Yu, but by someone else who had discussed it with the emperor beforehand.
spoken.
Nowadays, every move, word and deed is accustomed to using various small means, so that no one can notice it at all. Wonderful, wonderful, just a few words can make Liu Bei angry with himself.
I'm just afraid that I'll never be close to myself again.
Cao Cao secretly thought that so many of the emperor's ideas coincided with his own. Hahaha, he was really the emperor's confidant!
