Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 565
The emperor sat in the hall of Houde, looking at the two memorials brought by the prince, he also realized the problems in the temple today. Over the years, with the new policies one after another, the officials of the Han Dynasty were extremely complicated. There are so many, perhaps, it's time to streamline the officials of the Han Dynasty. If this continues, not only will the work be cumbersome, but it will also cause a serious financial burden. A large amount of money from the treasury will be spent on these officials.

The emperor decided that he should follow Zhuge Liang's idea and set up two new institutions to divide the power of Shangshutai. However, the emperor did not want Zhongshuling and Shizhongshi to be abandoned. Finally, a decision was made to establish Zhongshutai with the structure of Zhongshuling to be responsible for issuing edicts, that is, to implement these things in detail, and then set up a Shizhongtai with Shizhongshi to be responsible for review.

The advantage of doing this is first of all to avoid more officials. In addition, after the establishment of these two platforms, many temple officials can be eliminated. Of course, for the emperor himself, this is an absolutely excellent policy. Avoid monopolizing the power of the Shangshutai, let the formulation, review, and release be different, and disperse the power, which is conducive to the emperor's control of the temple. In addition, there is the most important thing, the servants, who are all around the emperor.

Then, for the matter of review, the emperor can completely review it himself. If something happens, there will be an order to take care of it, and the emperor will not be involved. In this way, it is really wonderful! !
The emperor thought about it again, but he should not be in a hurry to issue an edict, let Shangshutai finish the affairs of military science and commerce first, and then proceed with this order.

Liu Mastiff didn't know about these situations either, so he went back to the palace and went about his own business.

The 18th year of Xiping, March
A person appeared in Luoyang. This person looked like a traveler. He entered the city gate and walked towards the south of the city. What is he doing? This appearance also caused the soldiers on the road to question him many times, and then they bowed and left. This man looked very tired, and he was leading a thin horse, searching and walking on the road.

Finally, he grabbed the pawn in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, where is Yuan Shu's mansion?"

The soldier turned pale with shock, and said with some displeasure: "How can Yuan Zi call his name directly? I don't know!!" After speaking, he left angrily. This person was helpless, and held another person, Inquiring about Yuan Zi's mansion, the man took him directly to the gate of Yuan Shu's mansion. He stood in front of Yuan Shu's mansion, with sadness and bewilderment in his eyes, stepped forward, knocked on the door, and waited. A servant opened the door.

"I don't know what advice you have??"

"I am an old friend of Yuan Zi, so I come to visit and remember him"

"Please allow me to tell my mother." The servant said, the man nodded and agreed, and the servant came out not long after he entered, and said: "My mother agreed, but you also know that it is not easy for my mother to go out." Welcome, if you don't blame me, let me lead the way, okay?"

Hearing the servant's question, the man nodded, led the horse, and followed him into the mansion. After entering the mansion, a servant took the skinny horse away. The man and the servant went to the mourning hall, where the Yuan Shu's spiritual seat has not yet been withdrawn. The servant stood at the door with his head bowed. The man entered the mourning hall, closed his eyes in pain, and was stunned for a long time, then slowly knelt down and said in a low voice: "Gaolu, my old friend is here to visit." You and I haven't seen each other for many years, but I never thought that today is the farewell between heaven and man, and we will never see each other again."

He was talking here, but another servant came over with an uneasy expression, looked at the servant at the door, and waved his hand. The one at the door walked over suspiciously and said, "I am here to serve the guests, you What are you calling me for??"

"This man has bad intentions!!" The servant said in a low voice: "You know, I just took the horse to feed, and I vaguely saw a bow and crossbow in the package on his horse's back, so I opened it to look, oh my god, it is A yellow crossbow, which is different from other crossbows, the one that the previous Patriarch used to play with." Hearing this, the servant was also taken aback, and quickly asked: "Yellow crossbow?? Could it be some general in the court?" ??"

"Which of the generals in the court is not familiar with the Patriarch, and who has never visited?? Do you recognize this person?"

"That"

"Could this person be a spy of bandits?"

"Nonsense, where would the thieves have yellow crossbows?"

They were talking, but they heard laughter from outside the door. Hua Xiong walked in swaggeringly, and asked with a smile, "Where is my nephew?" As for Yuan Yao, the servants who would normally be bored by hearing this man's words were extremely happy. They hurried up and told Hua Xiong about the new man who came to pay homage to Yuan Shu.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?? I'll go see you!!" Hua Xiong frowned, threw Cuju to the servant, and walked into the mourning hall swaggeringly. When he walked into the mourning hall, he happened to see the man With his head lowered, his face full of pain, and his eyes still glistening with tears, Hua Xiong squatted beside him and pushed him. The man was shocked, got up quickly, looked at Hua Xiong, and asked, "Where is the king?" ?”

"I'm the one asking you this, who are you?? Why are you wearing a yellow crossbow??! What do you want to do when you enter Yuan Mansion?!"

Hearing Hua Xiong's words, this person realized in his heart that it was a misunderstanding, and then he felt a little angry, and asked: "Yuan Gonglu's servant treats the guests like this, looking through the guest's package at will??? ", Hua Xiong ignored him and looked him up and down. This man was wearing a suit that didn't fit well, and it was extremely worn out, full of patches, it didn't look like his own.

Including the pair of shoes, they all looked so worn out.

What's more, I can't see the slightest general style, it doesn't look like a general anywhere, who is this fellow? ?

Hua Xiong didn't want to think too much, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed the man by the throat, pulled him in front of him, and asked sharply, "Who are you? What??", and the servant outside the door saw Hua Xiong's great display of power, and some prejudices against Hua Xiong in his heart disappeared without a trace. Hua Xiong choked his throat tightly and asked angrily: " You are talking! What? You are guilty of being a thief, and you can’t speak??!”

The servant outside the door said in a low voice: "Mr. Hua, if you strangle him, of course he can't speak."

Hua Xiong suddenly realized, let go of his hand, and the man fell to the ground immediately, his eyes were full of horror, looked at Hua Xiong in front of him, and shouted: "I am Yilang Majun, I am Yuan Gonglu's childhood friend, I learned from Hongdumen." Before he even finished speaking, Hua Xiong grabbed his neck again, lifted him up, and said angrily: "How dare you lie, I, Hua Xiong, have been in the temple for many years, and I have never I have heard of such a Yilang like you, but I have never seen Chao Yi!!"

"I'm still studying in Hongdu, and I don't even make up a decent reason. There are craftsmen there!!"

Hua Xiong didn't talk nonsense, he pulled him out, and the servant behind him shouted: "Captain Hua, where are you going?"

"I'll take him back to Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, and give the kick to my nephew. I'll ask him another day. If he doesn't know that the kick was given by me, I'll settle the score with you two!!" Hua Xiong said violently Then, he dragged Ma Jun and left here, holding the skinny horse in one hand and Ma Jun in the other, without any fatigue at all. Watching Hua Xiong walk away, the two servants almost burst into tears. My young master is only six months! !
He took Ma Jun back to the mansion, handed him over to the officials under his command, and checked his package. Sure enough, this guy was really carrying a strong crossbow, but this was not a yellow crossbow. This kind of crossbow, Hua Xiong I have never seen it before, which is a bit strange, Hua Xiong has been fighting for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a crossbow arrow, Hua Xiong couldn't help shaking his head, holding the crossbow to look over and over again, after a long time, he didn't look at other things. , including letters.

This is a letter of persuasion.

"Gaolu passed away, I hope you will return soon, I will wait in Luoyang."

Hua Xiong looked at it, his face changed drastically, "I?" ?He hurriedly looked at the seal below again, and when he saw it, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair, jumped up, ran towards the prison, and entered the prison, only to see Ma Jun squatting in the prison and crying loudly , extremely sad, Hua Xiong was dumbfounded, looked at the two officials under his command, and cursed: "I just asked you to lock him up, what did you do?!"

The official said in a daze, "I don't know, we didn't do anything."

Hua Xiong hurriedly asked them to open the door, grinned and came to Ma Jun's side with a smile, and said, "Ma Gong, it was all a misunderstanding just now, I don't know Ma Gong, and I mistakenly thought he was a thief. I have been friends for many years, and I am also afraid that his family will be hurt, so I hope Ma Gong will forgive me, forgive me!! I was rude just now, how about I apologize to you?"

Hua Xiong spoke sincerely, but Ma Jun was still crying. He raised his head, looked at Hua Xiong, pointed to his shoes, and said, "Look, you have torn my shoes. I have been wearing these shoes for three or four years, and they are broken like this, and I can't fix them anymore." Hearing his words, Hua Xiong was also shocked, how could this man still have a special feeling for shoes? Zhong, he said helplessly: "Ma Gong starts first, and I will just pay you."

When Ma Jun heard about it, he stood up, wiped away his tears, looked at Hua Xiong, and asked seriously, "How much do you want to pay?"

Hua Xiong suddenly felt that something was wrong, he was thinking, should he take out the letter and read it again, because he just read it wrong? ? ?

"Um, two hundred dollars? How about it?"

"Good!" Ma Jun said, stretching out his hand, Hua Xiong gritted his teeth, and took out some money from his pocket, but it was still not enough, so he asked the left and right to take out some, and then gave the two hundred money to Ma Jun, Ma Jun took the money cheerfully, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Hua, it's okay, you are also a family member who is concerned about the highway, I can understand, cough, cough, my neck is a little uncomfortable, so I might get it just now." It hurts, alas, I have to seek medical treatment again, and I don’t know how much it will cost.”

As Ma Jun said, Hua Xiong's mind flashed, and a person's name appeared, and he shouted: "Heard of people attacking?!"

Ma Jun smiled, looked at Hua Xiong, nodded, and said, "It's my benefactor."
