The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 829 Transfer
It was only now that Xu An realized that no one had disagreed with him for a long time.

And the strategy he set and the people who implemented the plan didn't put forward any opinions, didn't think about whether it was correct, and no one thought about whether there was a better way.

It turned out that when Yan Zhong was in office, he would put forward different opinions to him.

But now because of his health, Yan Zhong is only on temporary duty in the court, and does not interfere with any major national affairs, and spends most of his time recuperating in the Taiye Pool.

Xu An's expression darkened, Yan Zhong's health was getting worse and worse, most of the news about Yan Zhong from Chang'an was bad news.

Since the beginning of the Taihang Mountains, the Yellow Turban Army had to travel to many places in succession.

Different starting times, different environments, exhaustion from traveling and traveling, coupled with long-term excessive fatigue, Yan Zhong's body is actually in a state of overdrawn.

It would be fine if Yan Zhong was still in his [-]s or [-]s, but Yan Zhong had already passed the age of destiny.

Those old diseases and hidden dangers in the dark parts of his body began to be gradually exposed, eroding his body.

Now Yan Zhong's hair has completely turned white, showing his old age, his eyes are no longer as clear as before, but are slowly becoming cloudy.

"I failed to perceive the inappropriateness, and this matter is indeed my dereliction of duty."

Xu An didn't know what was going on in Xu You's mind, and Xu You naturally didn't know what Xu An was thinking either.

Every word of Xu An's words was heartbreaking, which also made him wake up.

It is his responsibility to coordinate the expenses of all parties, pay attention to expenditure and income, allocate resources according to the priorities of things, and maintain the country.

"I beg you to surrender, Yau, without any complaints."

Xu You bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

He did realize his problem and felt it was his responsibility.

"Everything in the world, I can't understand everything, know everything."

"As the order of the Zhongshu Palace, you are in charge of the Zhongshu Palace. As the head of civil servants, you must know this."

Xu An's tone softened a little, and he walked down the steps.

"Here, I'm just a mortal body, I don't have the ability to reach the heavens, but I have only one or two things that are extraordinary."

Xu An walked up to him, and stretched out his hands to support Xu You, who was bent down.

"The "On the Hidden Fu" once said that the reason why the king is bright is to listen; the reason why he is dark is to believe."

"Listening to both will make it clear, and partial trust will make it dark."

"Not all the decisions I made were correct. As the official of Zhongshu, you should have your own opinions. When you disagree, I hope you can advise the above table, state the reasons, and be outspoken."

Xu You had imagined a lot of scenarios, but he didn't expect Xu An to say this, and he didn't react for a while.

"The safety of the world depends on doing good and evil in politics."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. You can neither act too hastily nor relax. Only when it is just right can the stability of the country be guaranteed."

"National affairs, many times, should be considered in the worst case. Only in this way can we be prepared, and we will not be in a hurry when things come to an end."

"Smooth weather is not normal. Famines and man-made disasters must be taken into account. The function of the regular warehouse is to stabilize grain prices, and the function of the disaster preparedness warehouse is when the disaster comes. These two warehouses must not be used in normal times unless there is an emergency. "

Xu You felt a little relieved. What Xu An said meant that the official position of the Zhongshu Fuling was temporarily preserved.

"There is nothing good that can be improved after passing by. We should learn from this matter."

Xu An was a little upset, he thought of a lot of things, and now he didn't care about what to say to Xu You, he had to think clearly.

"This matter should be dealt with seriously, but fortunately it did not lead to bad results, but you still need to bear the fault of negligence, so you can have objections if you lose your salary for one year."

"promise."

Xu You bowed again and promised, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's just a year of losing his salary, although it hurts a bit, but it's still acceptable, at least he's still the official secretary of the Ming Dynasty.

"I entrusted Zhongshu Mansion to you because I trust you, and also because of your ability. There are detailed records of your achievements and experience, and I have never forgotten them, but you can't stay in the past. Past achievements can help you for a while, but they cannot help you forever."

Xu An patted Xu You on the shoulder.

"I haven't decided on the position of the second assistant to the cabinet. You should know why."

Xu You was startled when he heard the words, Xu An raised it high, but put it down gently, a large part of the reason was because of his hard work for so many years.

But these hard work and achievements cannot be his reliance. If he only wants to live a prosperous life and live in peace, then relying on these achievements is enough.

But if he wants to stay above the position of Zhongshu Fuling, and wants to go further and become the second assistant of the cabinet, or even the first assistant of the cabinet, then he must have greater achievements and stronger abilities. Everything is not enough.

"I know, you keep everything I said in your heart."

"The territory controlled by my Ming Dynasty must not only be the land of the thirteen states, nor will it only be the land of the thirteen states."

"One day, no matter how the sun rises or sets, there will be daylight in part of our territory."

"At that time, the sun will never set on our country, the yellow sky will shine on our country forever, and the destiny will always take care of our country!"

"but……"

Xu An put down the hand on Xu You's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"Many things should be done step by step instead of rushing for success, especially governance."

"The threat in the northern border has not been completely eliminated. Although the countries in the Western Regions and the barbarians in the southern border bow their heads and tie their necks and appoint officials, there are still dangers lurking, so we must not relax our vigilance."

"The vast territory can bring more wealth and allow us to have a greater shelter, but opportunities and dangers coexist. If these newly opened territories become the land of China, it will not be an overnight effort. But, it needs years of operation.”

"Arrogance and extravagance are born of wealth and honor, and disasters are born of neglect."

Xu You lowered his head, he has completely calmed down now.

"You must keep the words of the Taoist Lord in mind, and use this as a lesson to be vigilant at all times."

He really wants to get the position of cabinet assistant.

As the magistrate of Zhongshufu, he also knew how much Xu An attached importance to the cabinet, so he had a premonition.

The cabinet will become the real decision-making body of Ming Dynasty in the future, and the status of the chief assistant of the cabinet should actually be the same as that of the prime minister in ancient times.

Just because Yan Zhong was appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet by Xu An, Xu You knew that the cabinet was very important. Although it only had the right to make suggestions now, it should continue to increase its power in the future.

Only by becoming the chief minister of the cabinet is the head of the ministers in the true sense.

Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly. Yan Zhong was old and had not been in charge of politics for two years. Once Yan Zhong passed away, he would have to be re-elected for the position of Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

And the candidates must be selected from among him and Jia Xu, and the rest of the cabinet ministers are much worse in terms of merit and experience.

"I hope that after I finish handling the affairs of Hebei, I can see an orderly household department with a balanced income and expenditure."

Xu You bowed his hands, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "You, you will live up to the entrustment of the Taoist Lord, and you will try your best to govern the Zhongshufu and rectify the household department."

"Go back."

"promise."

Xu You made a promise, made a final salute, and walked out of the hall slowly.

Xu An watched Xu You exit the lobby, and the question in his mind resurfaced.

All kinds of questions came one after another, making his head swollen and painful for a while.

During this period of time, everything went so smoothly that he ignored many hidden problems.

No one dared to put forward different opinions to him, so that the way of speaking was blocked, making it difficult for him to find the problem.

Looking at the empty lobby, Xu An suddenly missed the time when Yan Zhong was there.

Xu An found a chair nearby and sat down, pressing his aching head with his hands, trying his best to relieve the discomfort in his body.

But the hot weather made him feel more and more bored.

The Eagle Wolf Guard's defeat in Handi gave him a warning and made him discover many problems, but these problems are probably just a drop in the bucket.

Over the past few years, with the rapid expansion of the territory under the rule, there may be many hidden dangers in various places and ministries, but he has not discovered these hidden dangers.

The Eagle Wolf Guards did not notice these details either. The Wolf Guards are responsible for patrolling China and have a large number of scouts. However, their sense of smell is not so good for the ills that exist between these departments and within the locality. Sensitive, difficult to detect in time.

After all, the wolf guards are not full-time to investigate and deal with these things. The main responsibility of the wolf guards is to monitor crimes, but to detect and deal with ills.

"Admonitions and suggestions..."

Xu An lay on the back of the chair, thinking carefully about the solution.

During the period of history from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, he remembered that all the forces seemed to be military advisers to provide advice.

"military adviser……"

Thinking of the word military division, Xu An couldn't help but have a headache.

Up to now, the military generals who have joined the Taiping Road include Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao and many other famous generals, but there are only three advisers who have joined him, one is Yan Zhong, the other is Xu You, and the third is Jia Xu. .

Thinking about it carefully, Bingzhou and Liangzhou really didn't have any famous counselors in the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although there were Sili, they all fled to Nanyang County with Huangfusong and Wang Yun.

Yizhou also has a few advisers, but it is not easy for Xu An to transfer them to the central government, because transferring them is not very useful, and it will also release bad information.

Although the land of Hebei has been captured and all of the land of Wei State has been taken, apart from the trial and assignment of the counselors under Yuan Shao's command, several people have surrendered, such as Guo Tu and Xin Ping.

But Xu Andu only appointed him as the inspector of Jizhou, and the rest of them didn't think about it at all.

During the Battle of Guandu, it was these people who came up with bad ideas. Without these people's bad ideas, Yuan Shao would have won nine times out of ten.

Jushou and Tian Feng died one after another, Feng Ji also had some ability, but Feng Ji died in Fanyang.

During the Battle of Fanyang, many generals and schools of Wei Ting died during the war.

In the original time and space, Chunyu Qiong, who caused Wuchao to fall because of drunkenness, died like a man this time.

Chunyu Qiong died on the battlefield, was wounded by dozens of people, fell into the enemy's line, and was stabbed to death by a group of guns.

Xu An let out a long sigh, everything has changed now, different experiences lead to different lives, this is already a brand new world, and the previous memories of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty are no longer accurate.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

The Han Dynasty supported scholars for hundreds of years, and the aristocratic and powerful family traditions have been passed down for hundreds of years. Leaders were selected and carefully cultivated, so there was a scene of talented people emerging in large numbers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the foundation and accumulation.

In the original time and space, Xu You's character was not what it is now. After the battle of Guandu, he often took credit for himself, and finally planted the disaster for himself.

But the current Xu You, because of a failed plan, was chased by the embroidered clothes envoy Xingye, and almost died in the mountain temple in the wilderness. His personality has changed drastically, which is completely different from the description in the history books.

Now Xu You's personality is quite introverted, he doesn't take credit for himself, he often judges the situation and doesn't make grudges with others.

This is also because Xu You used to be a Hanchen after all, and he came from a powerful family, so there is a gap between him and the generals who came from the old Taipingdao, and he is always cautious.

Jia Xu is good at offering advice and suggestions, but this guy often chooses to be wise and protect himself, as long as there are no mistakes in major matters.

Let him govern the Zhongjun Mansion, and he will only govern the Zhongjun Mansion, and will never exceed half a point and be contaminated with other responsibilities.

Of course, he can also grasp the power given to him in time.

This time he was given the right to act cheaply, and Jia Xu dared to lead Liangzhou cavalry to help the Western Regions.

The people from Liangzhou have really tasted the sweetness of opening up territories.

Jia Xu previously stated that buying horses in Dawan Kingdom would undoubtedly enhance the national power of Dawan Kingdom and consume gold and silver for nothing. It would be better to capture Dawan Kingdom directly and make Dawan Kingdom a horse farm for Daming.

In this way, it not only solves the domestic problem of improving horse breeds, but also creates an additional commodity that can be traded.

"Xu Hong."

Xu An put down his hand rubbing his temple, and shouted to the outside.

"Have someone move the ice mirror to my side."

"promise."

Xu Hong responded, and ordered two soldiers of Tengxiang Guards to enter the hall.

The ice mirror in the hall is not small, and it is still difficult for one person to move it.

Two soldiers of Tengxiang Guard moved the Bing Jian to the front, and the surrounding temperature dropped slightly, which made Xu An's mind much clearer.

"correct……"

Xu An sat on the chair, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Let the Privy Council draw up an imperial edict."

"Send an edict to Jia Xu, let him deal with the affairs of the Western Regions quickly. The affairs of the Han court in the south have not been fully resolved. What does it look like for him, the edict of the Central Military Mansion, to fight the Western Regions? He is the edict of the Central Army Mansion. Not the governor of Liangzhou, his governor has the word 'dai' in front of it."

"Also, tell Lu Bu to bring the Xiaoqiying Battalion back quickly to be entrusted, and stop wandering in the Northland."

"Let Zhang Yan settle down in southern Xinjiang, and put all the focus on Hanting for the time being, and wait until the Hanting is destroyed before dealing with the affairs of southern Xinjiang."

Xu An felt a little helpless, after all, he was the one who brought up this atmosphere.

These generals and schools under his command are like competing.

Today you capture a city in the enemy's country, tomorrow I will expand the territory for hundreds of miles.

If you destroy a tribe today, I will conquer a country tomorrow.

Their eyes must now be directed to the correct location.

"Next year will be spring..."

"It is the day of the Southern Conquest of the Han Court, the time of unifying the world."
