Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 377 Xun Yu

"See you, my lord!" A figure silently appeared behind Chu Nan in the secret room of the Household Office. The person who came was very young, not a few years older than Chu Nan. With a somewhat pervasive appearance, but a bit of fierceness in his appearance, he is Huang Xu, the son of Huang Zhong.

"How's your body?" Seeing Huang Xu, Chu Nan asked with a smile.

"My lord, don't worry, it's not a serious problem to shoot." Huang Xu's voice was as feminine as his appearance, but it wasn't as motherly as a eunuch, but had a different kind of vigor.

Since Chu Nan cured him, he has been cultivating in Xuzhou. Under Hua Tuo's conditioning, he was trained a few months ago, but at that time the war was over. The capital is Shi A.

"You must have understood what Anbu is going to do." Chu Nan motioned him to sit down and talk.

"On the surface, the humble job is the lord's guard and guard, but it is secretly responsible for monitoring officials and collecting intelligence." Huang Xu naturally understood that when he was still in Xuzhou, Chu Nan had already told him about Anbu's plan. When he was in Xuzhou, He has already started to prepare.

"Now add one more thing, to explore the secrets of various places, I want detailed locations, the Anbu is in charge of intelligence, this intelligence is divided into two parts, internally, it is to monitor the officials, to collect evidence of the officials, you are in charge, externally, including It is up to Shi Alai to spy on the princes and explore secret places, and you should tell him about it." Chu Nan looked at Huang Xu and said with a smile: "But whether you can restrain him or not depends on your own ability."

After all, Huang Xu is young. As a disciple of the sword master Wang Yue, Shi A has rich martial arts and experience in the world. The biggest problem with martial arts is that he is unruly. What's the point of Huang Xu going to the town to go to his subordinates and have to do everything by himself?
"My lord, don't worry, I understand." Huang Xu bowed.

"Go ahead and tell Shi A to get the secret information as soon as possible. I want the most detailed information." Chu Nan nodded.

"Here!" Huang Xu nodded, bowed and retreated into the shadows. Amid the sound of the door, he had disappeared into the room.

Chu Nan continued to deal with his files as if no one had ever been there, the chaos of monsters, stabilizing the court, prices in Xuchang, pacifying the gentry, implementing the New Deal, and ensuring people's livelihood. With so many things being dealt with together, the six departments will be very busy in the future. Including the Ministry of Rites, they will be busy for a long time to come.

Although he has a lot of "capable" subordinates available as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is impossible for him to wander around with nothing to do every day.

The night was getting dark, and Xun Yu was preparing to rest and fall asleep as usual, but a sudden visitor disrupted his rhythm of life. Since Lu Bu entered Xuchang, he hadn't had any guests for a long time.

As an old minister of Cao Cao, Xun Yu had a estrangement from the princes in the court. He thought that Lu Bu would be liquidated after he came, but he didn't. He didn't do anything except cut off his position as Shang Shuling. He was also happy and quiet, and returned Living a peaceful life, quietly watching the changes in the world, and not having so many troubles come to him, for him, this kind of life is actually not bad.

Lu Bu neither surrendered nor persecuted him, as if he did not exist. Not only did Lu Bu seem to have forgotten his existence, but the emperor and the princes also seemed to have forgotten him. A little dazed.

"Mr. Zirou, Mr. Wenju." After seeing the two visitors, Xun Yu knew that his days of purity might be coming to an end.

"Wen Ruo looks good." Kong Rong and Zhao Wen sat down respectively, looked at Xun Yu, and Zhao Wen said with a smile.

"It's okay." Xun Yu asked the maidservant to serve refreshments to the two of them, and asked, "I don't know if Er Gong came here late at night for something important?"

"Wen Ruo should have heard about the establishment of the Six Departments." Zhao Wen was the first to speak, looking at Xun Yu and smiling.

"Yeah." Xun Yu nodded. Although he was at home, he lived in Xuchang and was from a prominent family. Even if his family is neglected now, it is impossible for him not to know about such a big thing as the establishment of the Sixth Ministry.

This is just a game of alternation of power. Lu Bu has not been here for long, and there is nothing wrong with the three princes and nine ministers in the court. Since you want to use the power of the court, you can't dismiss the ministers and officials without any reason, set up six ministries, and reform the official system. It can be regarded as a relatively soft means in the process of power alternation.

For the imperial court, this matter is neither good nor bad. If Lu Bu rudely removes all the important officials from their positions and puts his own people in the position as he is carrying out the New Deal, then the prestige of the imperial court will be lost. To Lu Bu, the imperial court will become In addition to the cumbersome existence, Dong Zhuo is probably a lesson for Lv Bu next.

However, for scholars, it is not a good thing for Lu Bu to be so calm and sensible, which shows that it is very difficult to deal with Lu Bu like he dealt with Dong Zhuo.

He can probably guess how the gentry will deal with Lu Bu, it is nothing more than bowing their heads first, throwing themselves under Lu Bu's command, and then waiting for an opportunity to discord the monarch and his subjects internally, and finally making Lu Bu a loner and have to rely on the gentry. Here comes the opportunity.

"The Ministry of Rites still lacks the post of Zuo Shilang. I don't know if Wen Ruo is willing to give in?" Zhao Wenwen and Kong Rong looked at each other, looked at Xun Yu and smiled.

The left and right ministers are the right-hand men of the various ministries, although the official rank is not high, but they hold the real power of the various ministries, which is a very important official position.

Xun Yu was startled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "This Xuchang is full of outstanding people, why should I take up this position?"

why?
Xun Yu naturally knew that he was Cao Cao's right-hand man before, and he even turned the tide when Cao Cao was facing desperation. Among the officials promoted by Cao Cao, he was quite prestigious. What they wanted to borrow was their own prestige to surrender Cao Cao. The officials were brought over.

Now less than half a year has passed since the battle of Xuchang, and it took even less time for Lu Bu's forces to take control of Xuchang. Unexpectedly, these people have already started secretly planning a new round of fighting so soon.

Still want to be the pioneer?
Xun Yu could only smile wryly at this. Doesn't anyone care about the current situation in the world?The disasters of monsters and beasts are frequent, prices in Xuchang are soaring, chaos is frequent, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty is declining. Under these circumstances, the first consideration is not to stabilize the situation but to secretly plan Lu Bu...

It's not that he can't, it's just that Xun Yu felt that he shouldn't act at this time. Now that even Lu Bu is thinking about these things, and constantly building up his popularity, the most important thing to do at this time is not to compete with Lu Bu for popularity.

"Although there are many outstanding people in Xuchang, how many people can compare with Wen Ruo?" Kong Rong sighed: "Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, treacherous ministers are ruining the country, Wen Ruo, at this time, it is time for us to serve His Majesty, how can we just see him?" Staying out of the affair with treacherous ministers gaining power?"

When Cao Cao was alive, there was a high probability that he was also a traitor.

Xun Yu shook his head helplessly: "Second Lord forgive me, Yu has no intention of becoming an official now, you two should choose another talented person, so as not to miss a big deal."

Kong Rong frowned when he heard this, "Could it be that Wen Ruo doesn't want to avenge Meng De?"

Xun Yu frowned slightly when he heard the words: "I'm sorry to say bluntly that this is not the time for so-called revenge. If you refrain from doing it, you will end up with a disastrous end, and even your reputation will be tarnished."

"Joke!" Kong Rong snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "A gentleman stands between heaven and earth, and he should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. This is the time to serve the country..."

Seeing that Kong Rong was angry, Zhao Wen was afraid that the two would quarrel, so he interrupted Kong Rong, smiled at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, when I invite you to become an official at this time, I don't mean to deal with Lu Bu immediately, but Wen Ruo If you become an official first, you will have a place in the court, and in the future we can also seek a position as a minister for Wen Ruo."

Shangshu?

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Zirou, do you know why he gave up the Ministry of Rites alone?"

Here, he could be Lu Bu, or Chu Nan and Chen Gong. These two are the core advisers of the Lu Bu Group.

"I would like to hear more about it!" Zhao Wen cupped his hands, not knowing why he said this.

"One, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of sacrificial offerings and diplomatic affairs. Those in charge of the Ministry of Rites must have sufficient reputation and be very worthy of the responsibility. However, no one under Lu Bu's command except Chen Gong is qualified for this position;"

"Two, the six departments seem to be on par, but the Ministry of Rites is the only one without real power among the six departments;"

"Thirdly, Lu Bu intends to use this to gather people like the princes in the Ministry of Rites for easy supervision. I can be sure that Lu Bu has already known about the two of you coming here."

"Among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is not the only one. Liu Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a clan member of the Han family, and we are not fighting alone!" Kong Rong corrected, in his opinion, Liu Ye can be regarded as one of his own.

Xun Yu rubbed his temples, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You two know that Liu Ye fought side by side with Chu Nan in Jianghuai. After Chu Nan led his troops into Runan, it was Liu Ye who was in charge of Jianghuai military affairs."

Taking charge of the Jianghuai military and political affairs is tantamount to giving Liu Ye his back.

Without Xun Yu's further explanation, the two of them instantly understood Liu Ye's position beside Chu Nan. Would such a person really tie them up to deal with Lu Bu?

"But he is a clan member of the Han family!" Kong Rong couldn't understand, Xun Yu surrendered to Chu Nan, and Liu Ye, as a clan clan member of the Han family, shouldn't do anything for Chu Nan.

"In this world, the most indispensable thing is probably the clan of the Han family!" Xun Yu reminded helplessly.

Since Gaozu, it has been handed down for 400 years. Most of the people surnamed Liu in the world can get a little bit of the Han family clan. Just like Liu Bei, he is naturally also the Han clan clan. How big is the interval between blood vessels?In this area, even if the court denies it, Liu Bei has nothing to say.

Kong Rong frowned slightly when he heard the words: "So, Wen Ruo has decided not to be an official?"

"I have no intention of becoming an official for the time being, so please don't blame Wen Jugong!" Xun Yu nodded calmly.

"That's all." Zhao Wen sighed and said, "What Wen Ruo said is not unreasonable. Since Wen Ruo is unwilling, then I won't force others to do so. Let me leave now!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Kong Rong up and left Xun Mansion.

"Zi Rou, why stop me?" Kong Rong finally couldn't help asking after leaving the Xun Mansion, he was ready to mock Xun Yu just now.

"Don't tear your face, Wen Ruo will still stand by my side, but if you really tear your face, it will definitely not be a good thing for us! Brother Wen Ju, don't be arrogant, this matter may really not be the right time, I still need to think about it in the long run!"
