"What? Brother? How can I be the third order?" The big fat man sat in front of Liu Xi. He had broken many of Liu Xi's chairs. Now the chair he made was specially made by Ma Jun.
What he had done for him was enough to bear the weight that ordinary Hu chairs should not bear. Liu Yi, who was helping Liu Ba handle the treasury affairs, learned that the emperor was going to summon him, so he lifted his heavy body and rushed to the palace.
My brother has not seen me for a while. Probably since the last time, after I broke the chair left by my uncle, my brother became a little irritable. When he saw me, he became very angry and kept giving in.
He went to lose weight on his own, but Liu Yi was also very bitter. He tried many methods, including diet and exercise, but no matter what, he still looked like this.
His face was full of flesh, even Hu'er would be a little scared subconsciously when he saw him, after all, he was big and fierce.
Seeing Ju Zhi sitting in front of him, Liu Xi understood him. Under this burly figure, there was a simple and generous heart. His mind was just like his physique. He never made enemies with others. In the temple,
There are no enemies within the family, and as he gets older, he will not bully others by relying on his status as the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang like he did when he was young.
"You are the most suitable for this position... Don't refuse any more. There are no outsiders here, so don't talk nonsense..." Liu Xi said, glanced at him, and then asked: "
Tomorrow, I will tell the world that you will be San Ling from now on. You should pay more attention when doing things, especially when eating. I don’t ask you to eat like San Ling, but try to be like a human being..."
"Brother, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's that I really can't do it...Brother, don't you understand me? I just muddle along, and I am just dawdling in the temple. For a person like me to become a third order, it is simply
It's the big man's disaster..." Liu Yi said helplessly, Liu Xi sneered and said impatiently: "Just do it if you are told, Xiu wants to talk nonsense..."
"What do you think of Hu'er?"
"Well... I think it's pretty good. I see that he always imitates..."
"Oh, yeah? He is worthy?" Liu Xi said disdainfully, and then became a little serious and said: "In the temple now, there are only two of you and me in the lineage of Emperor Xiaokang... Hu'er him.
.I am really worried about the future big man because of his impatient temper."
"Brother...this..."
"Shut up and keep listening to me!"
"Yes." Liu Yi lowered his head a little aggrievedly.
"In order to prevent Hu'er from messing around, I am going to arrange some people to watch him. People like Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Liu Ba, and Deng Ai can definitely watch Hu'er and prevent him from messing around...More
Later, there are Zhan'er, Yao'er and others who will take over..." Liu Xi said seriously, paused, and continued: "However, these people are too close to Zhuge Liang... Do you understand?
"
"Either he is his friend, or he is his disciple, a member of the family..."
"But...brother? Kong Ming is not the one you trust the most..." Liu Yi's eyes widened. Just after he asked, Liu Xi cursed angrily: "I didn't say he wasn't. Wait patiently for me to say.
Finished, don’t speak!”
"Brother, aren't you asking me..." Liu Yi complained secretly and then stopped.
"I cannot leave a separate faction in the temple, so I need you to assume the position of the Third Order..." At this time, Liu Xi looked at Liu Yi, and Liu Yi knew that he could speak.
Then he said: "Isn't there still Sima Yi? If he is at odds with Zhuge Liang, can he be restrained?"
"He can't do it. What's more, he has already served as the sergeant. The sergeant can only be held by you."
"I probably understand what brother means... Does brother want me to supervise Zhuge Liang and his group in the future?" Liu Yi frowned and asked seriously. Liu Xi raised his head and shook his head gently, "No.
, it’s not Kong Ming you have to deal with, it’s hard to compete with them on your own... Just assume your position first, don’t worry, you will know who you should deal with later..."
Liu Yi nodded in understanding and did not ask any further questions. He could only thank his brother for his kindness and then left the Hall of Houde.
The news that Liu Yi was worshiped as Zhongshu Ling set off a storm in Luoxian County. It was easy for the two and three Lings who knew about this situation in advance, but those who had already set their sights on this position couldn't wait to get it.
The servants who showed off their talents felt uncomfortable. However, fortunately, Liu Yi was the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, with a prominent family background and a kind-hearted person, so no one openly expressed their dissatisfaction.
But there are exceptions.
Household.
Zhong Changtong frowned and sat in the study with a very angry look on his face. Xu Shu sat calmly in front of him and helplessly persuaded: "I told you a long time ago that the position of Sanling is not that easy. You
How about dreaming about the Three Orders all day long? Now you know that I am not wrong. Zhongshu Order must be a confidant of the Emperor. Do you consider yourself a confidant of the Emperor?"
"The position of Zhongshu Ling is to be responsible for court discussions, to make decisions for the world, and to formulate policies and orders in the temple. How can it be appointed internally because of the relationship with the emperor? As for Liu Yi, is it possible?
Can anyone do better than me? Today’s Three Orders are like Zhuge Kongming. Only the Emperor is the orderer. Even if the Emperor has something wrong, he does not dare to correct it!"
"For example, Sima Yi directly became the emperor's mouthpiece in the temple, without any awareness of being a minister!"
"But now it's better. The orders in the book are directly carried out by relatives of the emperor. Shouldn't the ministers in the temples work for the benefit of the Han Dynasty? How can they all start to flatter the emperor and only covet their own status?"
Zhong Changtong said excitedly, but Xu Shu hurriedly interrupted him, "Xiu wants to talk nonsense!" He looked around cautiously, and then continued: "You don't want your life? What's more, today's temples
, it’s not as unbearable as you said. Zhuge Sima and others are all capable ministers in this world, can you do better than them?"
"I may not be as good as them, but I will not be silent like Sima Yi to protect myself, nor will I be like Zhuge Liang who did not dissuade the emperor for the sake of the reputation of a loyal minister. If I serve the three orders, I will live or die.
He is a big man!" Zhong Changtong said seriously.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things. The emperor has already decided on the candidates for Sanling. In this case, let's continue to work on the things we are doing and stop thinking nonsense..." Xu Shu looked in front of him.
Several documents from the Central Plains continued: "The emperor has already issued an order, asking us to complete a detailed survey of the household registration of the counties in the Central Plains within a short period of time..."
"Are you saying that the emperor wants to re-implement the household registration management of the ancient Han Dynasty?"
"Oh, the emperor has this idea, but it may be more relaxed than the ancient Han Dynasty. At least it will not restrict the movement of the people. This is what the emperor and I reported. With the shortage of cultivated land, the people gradually began to go to some states
Jun, such as Hebei, Qing, Yan, Henan and other regions, there are many merchants here, and they have accumulated a large number of weaving machines, which require a large number of manpower... More and more Yu Ding began to engage in these things... to work for others...
"
"It is completely different from the farm laborers of the pre-Qin Dynasty... In this case, if the migration of the people is restricted, a large number of landless rangers will probably appear and disturb the security of the counties..."
When talking about affairs, Zhong Changtong was also very involved, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness just now. As he was talking, he suddenly asked: "By the way, do you still remember Pangzhou Mu?"
"Of course I remember, what?"
"Hahaha, I hit it off with him. He also supports my ideas. And, most importantly, he is also a little dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and the others. This man's talents are not inferior to those of today's three orders, and even
Maybe above me, if this person can also help us, that would be great..."
Xu Shu nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "That's not bad, but after all, he is a local official, so you should not have a close relationship with him."
"Don't worry, it is said that he will be transferred to the temple soon..."
"He also introduced me to Duke Zhou of the Overseas Mansion. This Zhou Pushe is also an interesting person. It would be inevitable if the three of us come to serve as the third order. If the three of us join forces, we will not be able to compete for these three orders.
s position..."
"Are you still thinking about these??" Xu Shu shook his head helplessly and said, "You'd better stop thinking nonsense. This position still has the final say of the emperor. No matter how many people you win over, it won't matter.
Useful..."
"Yuan Nao?"
"Um?"
"Do you think this Han Dynasty belongs to the common people? Or..."
"shut up!"
.........
The 22nd year of Yankang arrived. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also officially rushed to Liangzhou and left the temple. All matters in the temple fell on Sima Yi and Liu Yi. Liu Yi was in a hurry and failed.
Many things were done, but in the end he left all the important matters to Sima Yi. Sima Yi was quite polite to him and did not have any dissatisfaction because of it.
Zhuge Liang went to Liangzhou to expand Xizhou's foreign trade. At least, that's what he said himself. The officials in the temple did not know that the emperor had already planned to use force against Guishuang, and Zhuge Liang was going there this time.
Liangzhou was actually to provide strong logistics for the army. He wanted to become the Xiao He of the Yankang era and concurrently serve as Han Xin.
It is worth mentioning that Prince Liu Qu also rushed to Liangzhou. It is said that Zhuge Liang wanted to take him to inspect the place so that the prince could see the local situation. Even the Southern Army sent men to protect the prince all the way.
After arriving in Liangzhou, the Southern Army went to the Northern Army's garrison in Xizhou, supposedly to train with the Northern Army.
But what the officials didn't know was that there was another person who also secretly rushed to Liangzhou and met Zhuge Liang in private.
This person refers directly to the messenger of embroidered clothes, Yuan Shang.
