Naturally, Yu Xian would not be as stupid as Dong Zhuo.
He immediately said in a nonchalant manner, "It's ridiculous. We still don't know which scapegoat was introduced by the harassing dragon sect. He himself is pitiful, and his wife and children are even more innocent. Let this matter be forgotten, and his family members will not care about it, and
Allow them to collect and bury the bodies of the Chaos Long Sect."
Yu Xian beat and eliminated him.
First of all, he should guide his own killing and disturbing the Long Sect in the direction of conspiracy theories. Even if he can't get rid of his bad reputation, at least he has to create another fictitious black hand to share the bad reputation with him.
What he said not only made everyone in the court feel insecure and worried about being misunderstood by Dong Zhuo, but also made them suspicious of each other.
After all, launching chess pieces to test the direction of the wind is a common tactic in politics.
As a result, Dong Zhuo's own notoriety was diluted and diluted a lot.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo's attitude of not harming his family and allowing the body to be collected obviously made them less afraid.
At least Dong Zhuo seems to have a bottom line.
Zhou Ao's face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, his move not only had no effect, but also attracted a lot of hateful looks to him.
However, counselors like Zhou Ao are obviously the best at seizing opportunities.
Although Dong Zhuo didn't know why his brain turned into a white lotus, he could take this opportunity to promote his long-planned plan.
Zhou Ao said with admiration, "I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be so benevolent and righteous, and I admire him endlessly."
"There is one more thing about lowering the official position. The states and counties in Guandong have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and have long been in ruins. In order to reward the meritorious officials, many local powerful officials were appointed. Now that the powerful and powerful powers in Guandong are coexisting, each one uses the excuse of thieves to block the road. Not only
The taxes that should be sent to the imperial court have been withheld, and it has caused trouble in the local area. It has become a big problem. Before I went down to the official position, I gave the Prime Minister a list of all the loyal and martyr people. I hope the Prime Minister will consider it and use it."
As he spoke, he kept winking at Dong Zhuo.
Boss, we are all our own people.
Yu Xian listened and laughed.
As expected, this guy continues to dig holes for himself.
Yu Xian turned his head and looked at Li Ru who was standing next to him, "Wen You, do you still remember the list recommended by Zhou Shangshu?"
As Dong Zhuo's think tank and son-in-law, Li Ru, the doctor's order, basically assumed the role of Dong Zhuo's shogunate.
Whether it's official documents or trivial matters, he takes care of everything.
Li Ru thought for a while and said directly in front of everyone, "Zhou Shangshu, Wu Xiaowei and others jointly recommended many outstanding figures in the field. Among them, the five most famous ones are Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Chen Ji, Han Rong, and Shen Tupan."
Yu Xian felt a little guilty after hearing this.
Except for Cai Yong, whom he had heard of, the others were completely confused.
He asked directly, "Wen You, come and tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who are these?"
After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, the courtiers below were all speechless.
That's why you don't know.
Li Ru obviously also felt that Dong Zhuo was a bit shameless.
He coughed lightly and said, "Enxiang, these... are all famous people all over the world. Since Emperor Zhang and Emperor, there have been many noble and virtuous people in the world. Among them, Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, Han Shao,
The four Chens were particularly outstanding and were called the Four Chiefs of Yingchuan."
"This Xun Shuang is the son of Xun Shu, Chen Ji is the son of Chen, and Han Rong is the son of Han Shao. As for Cai Yong and Shen Tupan, they are also talented and learned people. These people have not been able to show their talents, but they are all
It’s a pity.”
Okay, Yu Xian is convinced.
Most of them are sons of awesome people.
However, when becoming an official in the Han Dynasty, the first thing you looked at was your bloodline.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the Yang family of the fifth generation and three princes, and the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes.
For another example, Kong Rong, the pure vegetable guy, was still thriving.
This is the unspoken rule of this era, and Yu Xian certainly cannot break it.
He pretended to be happy and said, "Okay, since they are all loyal and good men, they should be invited to join the court."
Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong looked at each other with joy in their eyes after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo changed the topic and asked Li Ru, "Wenyou, since you know everything clearly, what good suggestions do you have?"
After Li Ru received this secret report, he obviously did some homework.
He said to Yu Xian, "Mr. En, although these people have great names, they are all sixty or seventy years old, and their energy is low. It is better to give them some idle duties and arrange them. It can also show that the court respects the elderly."
Yu Xian laughed when he heard this.
This Li Ru is still too straightforward in his approach.
It would be fine if Yu Xian didn't know that these guys were old men. Once he heard that they were all in their sixties or seventies, Yu Xian would have nothing to worry about.
He immediately reprimanded, "What are you talking about? Since they are buried virtuous people, even if they cannot sit in the three public positions, they should still have a seat among the nine ministers. Besides, there are so many official positions in the world with two thousand stones, isn't there anyone who can?"
Is it a place for talented people to do their best? I plan to appoint Xun Shuang as Sikong, Chen Ji as Shaofu, and Han Rong as Da Honglu. As for Cai Yong and Shen Tupan, I plan to appoint them as ministers."
Li Ru was shocked when he heard Yu Xian's arrangement.
These are extremely important departments with real power.
Once controlled by these people...
When Li Ru thought of this, he was suddenly startled and asked, "Wait a minute."
Considering his father-in-law's bad conduct, could he possibly want to kill these old men?
The more Li Ru thought about it, the more he was right.
Each of these departments is a place with extremely complicated affairs. Even if young and powerful people hold these positions, they must be cautious, let alone a group of old men.
I'm afraid it won't be long before all the oil and lamps are exhausted.
The more Li Ru thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, but he also reminded, "Xiang En, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, although people like them have virtuous names, it is difficult for them to suddenly achieve high positions."
Yu Xian thought for a while and smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. When the time comes, you will issue two imperial edicts one after the other. First, appoint them as the prefect of Liangqianshi, or the prime minister of the kingdom, and then change them to their current official positions."
Historically, Dong Zhuo indeed used this rocket promotion method to simply and crudely make the resume of the person to be promoted perfect.
Cai Yong is the most representative example. "He was promoted to a high position, supplemented by serving as the censor, and then transferred to the censor, and moved to the minister. In three days, Zhou Li Santai. Moved to the governor of Bajun, and stayed as the minister."
Relying on such rapid rocket rises, many people easily became high officials in the imperial court from their humble beginnings.
Zhou Ao, Wu Qiong and others were delighted when they saw how easily Dong Zhuo placed the talents they recommended in such a high position.
In their opinion, the candidates who come later will be more likely to pass.
Even those unrelated court officials felt that they were blinded when they saw Dong Zhuo's vigorous efforts to remove the scholar-bureaucrats.
Seeing that Li Ru was busy sorting out the materials and did not say anything, Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong took the initiative to say, "Xiangguo, in addition to these talented people in the opposition, there are still many talented officials who are too lazy to be used."
Yu Xian smiled slightly, knowing that today's drama was coming.
He asked calmly, "Oh? I wonder who else is loyal and good?"
