Chapter 256 Jia Xu Enters Beijing
The officials got up and met the emperor.

Among the ministers, besides the returning Wang Fu, there is also a newcomer, this is Jia Xu who was recommended by Zheng Xuan, the governor of Liangzhou this year, as the first Yilang. In the last column, court etiquette, he has memorized it by heart these past few days, so there must be no trouble, Jia Xu thought helplessly.

In fact, he really didn't want to be the councilor. He was in Liangzhou, assisting Zheng Xuan, and managed Liangzhou in an orderly manner. It's just that Zheng Xuan is a real gentleman, and he didn't want him to be so talented in Liangzhou, so he recommended him to the court in private. Why? After his death, Zheng Xuan undoubtedly became the head of the Great Confucianism of the Han Dynasty. After Yuan Feng read his recommendation letter, he recruited this great talent without hesitation.

Jia Xu had no choice but to bid farewell to Liangzhou and arrived in Luoyang. He didn't have the courage to refuse the conquest like Wang Fu did. I am afraid that the person who will invite me next time will be the embroidered clothes envoy. He just wants to live a few more years. Luoyang is just Luoyang. out.

As a result, few people in the court knew him.

The officials got up and walked to the center of the hall, Jia Xu followed at the end, everyone bowed down and bowed down, Jia Xu also paid respects in a dignified manner, and then the emperor returned the salute, and the officials retreated to their respective seats and knelt down As soon as Jia Xu sat down, he suddenly saw the officials headed by Yuan Feng get up again, walked to the center of the hall, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please cook the king's festival letter!"

Jia Xu was bewildered, looking at the ministers, at a loss what to do.

There were only a few people present, Wang Fu, Wen Renxi, Cao Song, Cai Yong, the officials suddenly found that there was a scum of the court in the last row, and he was sitting safely on his seat. It made Jia Xu a little restless, and the emperor looked at him in amazement, and silently remembered him in his heart. This person does not go with the ministers, and at such moments, he can still sit in his seat. It seems that he is also a person Genius!

Jia Xu was dumbfounded, what's going on?
In this case, he didn't stand up, nor did he sit down.

Why are they so uniform?There is no mention of such a ceremony in court etiquette?

The emperor waved his hand helplessly, and said, "I know. All the ministers will retreat."

Many of the courtiers slowly sat back in their seats. Jia Xu smiled awkwardly at the ministers beside him, but he didn't expect that these people would stare at him angrily. He really didn't understand, so he could only lower his head and stop looking for boredom, while Wang Fu raised his head high, looking at the officials with some disdain, as if mocking their powerlessness.

The officials almost gritted their teeth in hatred.

"Ahem, can the ministers have a performance?" The emperor said, and glanced at Cao Song. Cao Song immediately got up, walked to the center, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the world mourns the death of He Lao, but Situ Zhi The position is the head of a hundred officials, absolutely indispensable, therefore, I hope that His Majesty will choose a good talent for the king's business!"

The ministers nodded, but it should be so.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Does Aiqing have any talents to recommend?"

Cao Song took a deep breath, and said firmly, "I think that Yang Yang, the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Fu, is a good candidate because he is loyal and of good moral character!"

"Cao Eunuch, what are your intentions?!"

"The thief Wang Fu, how can he be Situ?"

Suddenly, the officials were in an uproar. Cao Song looked at them with a calm expression and said nothing.

"Cao Aiqing, are you going to recommend Wang Fu? Wang Jiexin is very talented, but I don't know if he has the virtue of Situ?" The emperor asked hesitantly, and everyone shook their heads. He didn't have this virtue. No virtue at all!

Cao Song said: "Your Majesty, among the ministers, only the king is the best. I hope that your Majesty will think carefully and choose a good talent."

"En, that's fine." The emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty, no, absolutely no!"

"Your Majesty, please cook the King's Day letter!!"

The officials wailed and knelt down before the emperor. They didn't know that the emperor was playing with Cao Song in order to let Wang Fu be the Situ. If there was no instruction from the emperor, Cao Song would still dare to recommend Wang Fu ? ?

The emperor frowned in displeasure, and said, "For the matter of Situ, could it be that all the lovers have been chosen for me?"

"I dare not wait!"

"Wangjun!"

Wang Fu stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the face of the emperor, bowed down and bowed, and said, "The minister is here!"

"I worship you as Situ, I hope you can assist me and rule the great man together!"

"The minister takes orders!"

The Son of Heaven pushed Wang Fu to Situ's seat in such a forceful manner, while the officials were beating their chests and beating their heads, crying loudly. Several of them even almost fainted. Sad look.

A courtier asked angrily: "Why are you happy when the thief is in power?"

These courtiers said with some grievances: "You don't know something, we are all from Yangzhou!"

Soon after Wang Fu was selected, Xing Ziang became the new governor to succeed Wang Fu. As for other appointments, they were also announced one by one. The emperor frowned and glared at the officials, but none of them dared to argue with the emperor. Yes, after the death of Mr. He, the officials deeply felt the sense of powerlessness. No one can compete with this emperor anymore. Even if he is wrong, no one dares to question him anymore.

"Your Majesty! No!"

"The northern and southern armies should not be transferred easily. If Zhang Taiwei intends to conquer the north, he can use Dong Zhuo's subordinates and the new lord stationed." Wang Fu raised his head, looked directly at the emperor, and said solemnly.

All the ministers looked at him, and suddenly had some strange feelings in their hearts. Perhaps, he was the only one who could be Situ.

"Northern thieves invade Chidao, steal food and grass, and endanger the people. I believe that Mr. Zhang went to Youzhou to eliminate thieves and help the vassals. He is by no means an unknown teacher. It's just that the new army needs to reserve more. Food, grass and military pay, Wen Rengong, I don’t know, how much money can the treasury give?”

Wen Renxi's expression changed drastically, he got up hastily, and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty!"

The emperor's face twitched. A few days ago, Yangzhou sent seven or eight ships of gold. You tell me now that the treasury is empty?
"In the past, Emperor Xiaowu used to do business with the sea, passed through Qingzhou, went to North Korea, Wa Island and other places, and we went to war this time to clear up the thieves here. How can the big man pay for it? However, it can't Asking for money for no reason, I hope His Majesty will restart the commercial road, and levy from North Korea in exchange for food and supplies, and carry out law and order."

"This matter is still left to you!"

"The minister takes orders!"

After the ministers had finished discussing many matters, they had to retreat separately. The emperor looked at the talented man who had supported Wang Fu in the court discussion and did not go along with the ministers, and said to Song Dian beside him, "Take that If someone brings him into the hall, I want to see him!"

Song Dian nodded quickly.

Jia Xu walked quickly to the entrance of the main hall, put on his shoes, and hurried to escape from here, who knows, after walking a few steps, several yellow gates stopped in front of him with smiles, saying: "Jia Yilang, Your Majesty wants to see you"

"Wenhe is very honored!" Jia Xu leaned over and said in surprise. Several ministers passed by, looked at the eagle dog with disdain, said something secretly, and left the palace angrily. Among the thieves, from today onwards, he will no longer be treated by his colleagues. Looking at these ministers who left in a hurry with unfriendly expressions, Jia Xu's face gradually turned cold.

"I didn't want to embarrass you, but why, you are pushing too hard."
