Lord Yuan

Chapter 72 Shangshu Ling Yinxun (fifth update)
After getting rid of this unexpected [-], Yuan Shao's good mood was vented a lot at this time.

After finally breaking away from the long traffic jam, Yuan Shao got into his car and went to the Shangshutai to join the job.

The Shangshutai is an institution under which the emperor issues edicts. As the saying goes, government orders can reach the whole country without going out of the Shangshu. When the Shangshutai was prosperous, the emperor's success and orders were often not passed through the Sangong Mansion, but only through the ministers who were given titles of ministers and those who held the power of the Shangshu. The eunuchs ran back and forth introspection.

It is equivalent to directly elevating Sangong, and truly makes Sangong the empty frame who takes the blame.

Many officials in Shangshu Taichung are typical representatives of low status and power.

Although Shangshu Lingyi has thousands of stones, he always checks and balances the three princes, and even the nine ministers have no peace.

The rest are like ministers and servants, ministers on the left and right, ministers under the door, and subordinates of various Cao Cao, all of which belong to this category.

He has many responsibilities, but he also has the authority to appeal and advise.

If an official violates the law, the Chancellor can issue an edict to arrest him, and then each of them will be assigned to Cao Cao and perform their duties.

The minister appointed by Yuan Shao also had such powers.

Although many of the powers of the Shangshutai have now been completely taken away by other departments, the functions and powers are no longer as glorious as they used to be.

But after all, it is the institution closest to His Majesty the current Emperor. Even if it is only in name, Yuan Shao must seize this golden opportunity.

Whether it is the Sangong Mansion, eunuchs, scholars, or officials at all levels.

If he wants to pursue the most perfect victory, he needs to occupy the chancellery, which no longer seems to be very important.

The only difference is who can bring greater benefits to the emperor.

Now that the emperor is young, the eunuchs have a natural advantage. As close ministers, they can always stay close to the emperor.

Under the influence of familiarity, Chen Fan would fall into an unconscious disadvantage. Even if he tried all his strength, he was often not as good as the eunuchs' slander.

Who said that good advice is as harsh to the ears as good medicine is to the mouth?

But no one said that flattery is like the emperor's new clothes, making people unable to extricate themselves from it.

As far as Yuan Shao is concerned, there is no final conclusion as to who is right or wrong.

After all, the final decision-making power rests with the winner.

He just doesn't want to be a decadent loser.

As a time-traveler, if he can't win the war with the help of many wise and resourceful people, he will really embarrass the army of time-travelers.

The Shangshu Terrace is not too far from the Taifu Mansion.

Yuan Shao arrived in less than half a day.

Under the surprised eyes of the relatively lazy guard at the door, Yuan Shao spread out his documents to express his intention and then followed a man who looked like a civil servant into the chancery.

Soon, after passing many various houses, the man took Yuan Shao to a house that looked obviously to a higher level.

Entering it, I saw a man in his forties, wearing an official hat and official uniform representing the Minister's order, lowering his head and immersed in the slips.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, he raised his head unhurriedly.

His skin color was very light, almost pale, as if he was undernourished, and was incompatible with the official uniform he was wearing.

There was a scholarly air around his body, and on his face with clear lines, a pair of clear eyes were as deep as a cold pool, staring at the visitor quietly.

"What's the matter?" His voice was kept low, as pure as spring water seeping from the earth.

"This man has a document from the Grand Tutor, and he came to the Chancellor's Desk to take up the post of Minister."

"Huh?" The eyes of the man sitting in the seat suddenly jumped, and then returned to calm and calm, unhurried.

"Since I have the Taifu's documents and an opinion, you can go ahead and do your work."

"No." The man who led Yuan Shao into Shangshu Mansion responded and walked away without stopping for a moment.

In the huge room, only the man and Yuan Shao were left on the seats.The man's expression was leisurely, as if he had isolated all the hustle and bustle of the world, and was as quiet as if he was in it, rising and falling as he pleased, untainted by dust.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Yuan Shao made no move.

As a result, the whole room became eerily silent.

There were only faint sounds from the man as he flipped through documents and letters from time to time.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the man said quietly: "Since you are so impressed, there must be something unique about you. Your room is at the far end of the east."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at it from top to bottom.

"Oh, by the way, don't bother me if you have nothing to do on weekdays."

Yuan Shao was very surprised.

Although the office of the Chancellor has been divided a lot of power and the power is much less than before, fundamentally speaking, the distance between the Chancellor and the Emperor is still much closer.

Under such circumstances, why does it feel like the Chancellor's Desk is like an empty shelf, without any appearance of a political mansion.

Yuan Shao thought again and again.

It's like a huge restaurant here that no one cares about.

Talking a little louder is enough to wander around the room.

"I don't know how to call Shangshu Ling yet."

Yuan Shao lowered his voice so as not to disturb the senior Shangshu Ling who seemed not to be easy to get along with.

"My name is Yin Xun. You can just call me Yin Shangshu. If nothing happens, please leave."

Yin Xun's eyes were as calm as water, appearing calm, and his handling style was like a spring breeze, light and airy.

But when Yuan Shao learned his name, he was suddenly shocked.

Looking at the always calm Yin Xun in front of him, he already understood the reason in his heart.

No wonder that in the September [-] Coup, Shangshu Ling Yinxun, who was clearly on the side of the eunuchs, ended up committing suicide in prison.

Yin Xun, everyone in the world says he is one of the eight.

The family has been a family of officials for generations. His uncle Yin Mu was a disciple of the Third Company, and his elder brother Yin Song was a Taiwei of the Third Duke. The Yin family of his family also held many important positions in the court.

Because he always maintained a unique and honest conduct and never used his power to overwhelm others, he was praised by many scholars and praised as one of the Eight Gus.

Ba Gu, Gu, means being able to guide others with virtue.

And such celebrities are now at the core of the upcoming September coup.

Yuan Shao suddenly understood.

Then he bowed to Yin Xun, who always maintained his grace in the seat, and said, "I don't know that Yin Shangshu is Bagu, so I am guilty of this."

Yin Xun seemed not surprised by this, and just waved his hand gently and said: "If nothing happens, please leave first."

"If you have something to do, please ask Shangshu Lingyi to sign these two documents." Yuan Shao took out Xu You's and Xun Chen's documents from his arms and handed them to him.

"Huh?" Yin Xun was a little confused and said softly with a puzzled expression.

Yuan Shao explained: "These two people were specially recommended by me from the Taifu to assist Yin Shangshu in handling affairs."

"I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm just afraid that Yin Shangshu won't wait for the mission with me."

Yin Xun looked at the two documents in his hands, but his face suddenly turned rosy, and even his eyes showed a light of surprise.

"Did you recommend these two people?"
