Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 50 Someone handed me a pillow when I was dozing off

Jian Shuo was thinking about important matters today while showing off his authority.

When he thought of all kinds of complicated and messy things, he felt overwhelmed. He didn't have much knowledge, and his cronies were not people who were good at literature or martial arts. Pan Yin was relatively outstanding, but Jian Shuo knew that such a person could be clever. It's okay, but it's not enough to actually handle government affairs, let alone important matters.

For important matters, you should discuss it with the person lying in the Jiade Hall.

The key is that trivial matters are enough to give him a headache. Not to mention anything else, just the courtiers quarreling with each other gives him a headache. One day he impeaches another, and tomorrow he exposes another, it's so annoying.

"It's not easy to be a powerful minister!" He couldn't help but sigh like this every time he thought about these nonsense.

"Should we leave those trivial matters to the substitute?" This thought was about to come to his mind, but His Majesty repeatedly warned that the substitute should not have real power.

This puts Jian Shuo in a dilemma.

He could feel that if the substitute was well trained and trained, he could be his right-hand man. It would be a waste to use such a good talent as just a decoration.

Usually the memorials were sent to the emperor after being sorted out by the minister's desk, and some were sent directly to the palace. However, as soon as these memorials entered the palace, they fell into the hands of Jian Shuo.

But how can he have the time and ability to deal with such complicated government affairs?

I just pick some that are particularly important or that I am interested in dealing with. Most of the content will not be read, and it will be backlogged in the palace.

Recently, he discovered that many officials had written letters to impeach Dong Zhuo, saying that he failed to rescue Chen Cang, suffered consecutive defeats, and did not obey the general's orders, etc.

But Jian Shuo suppressed it and neither reported it to Emperor Ling nor dealt with it.

Because during the last imperial court, Gai Xun and others in the court publicly impeached Dong Zhuo. It is possible that Jian Shuo just asked the emperor to issue an order to urge Dong Zhuo to march into the army.

Now that the invasion failed and someone came to impeach him, no matter what he did, it would be a slap in the face, so he had no choice but to suppress it and simply stop communicating with Emperor Ling.

If he guessed correctly, he would see similar memorials today, but he had already made up his mind and continued to press on. He even considered whether to promote Dong Zhuo to an official position.

Because yesterday he received the Luminous Cup of the Western Regions from Li Su sent by Dong Zhuo. Whether you win or lose the war has nothing to do with me, general? Only what goes into this general's pocket is the real thing.

But he has not yet decided what official position he should be promoted to.

Soon, he arrived at the place where he was conducting official business. The guards were guarding the door. Wang Yue and Shi A were waiting beside him, serving tea and pouring water. Jian Shuo felt that this morning was particularly sunny.

Several cases were already piled with various memorials. After briefly reading a few, it turned out that one of them was about impeaching Dong Zhuo. Jian Shuo simply threw it aside.

"Hey, it's a memorial from Butcher He." When Jian Shuo saw that it was submitted by He Jin, he immediately became interested. When he opened it and took a look, he was slightly startled to see that it was also about Dong Zhuo.

But as he slowly looked down, the smile on his face gradually widened, until he laughed out loud, "Hahahaha... He butcher, he butcher, they all say you are a pig brain, but this general I really believe it this time, he is dozing off Please hand me a pillow when you arrive."

I saw He Jin writing on the memorial that the yellow turban bandits around Luoyang had recently recurred, threatening the security of Kyoto. Dong Zhuo had been fighting on the border for a long time and had numerous military exploits. He begged Dong Zhuo to lead troops to Beijing to quell the bandit chaos.

"In this case, Dong Zhongying will also say that this general is a man of faith." Jian Shuo picked up the memorial and walked out, smiling, "He spent a pair of luminous cups absolutely worth it."

At that moment, he left the other guards behind and took only Wang Yue and Shi A with him to the Jiade Hall. He already had an excuse to give Dong Zhuo a promotion. His office was next to Changle Palace. As soon as he turned a corner, he saw Liu Ming and Pan Yin standing in front of the palace gate talking.

Jian Shuo quickened his pace and walked over. No matter what, this substitute was still the emperor in front of outsiders. Jian Shuo wanted to pretend to be the emperor's favorite, so he naturally had to be more attentive.

But the scene before him shocked him——

Pan Yin was seen standing there with an embarrassed look on his face. His clothes were ragged, one sleeve had been torn off, and his body was covered with strips of cloth. Only after careful inspection could one see that this was the official uniform he wore yesterday.

"This... this..." Jian Shuo was speechless, looking confused.

Suddenly, there were two sounds of kneeling down behind him, "The last general Wang Yue and his disciple Shi A have met His Majesty and wish His Majesty the health of the Holy Body."

Jian Shuo looked back and saw Wang Yue and Shi Azheng kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Wang Yue? Shi A?" As a time traveler, Liu Ming was confused.

What the hell are you doing?
  Yesterday, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang just came to say that they had found a suitable person who could be arranged to protect their safety and fight against the thieves. This suitable person is Wang Yue and Shi A, master and apprentice.

It had just been one night, and the master and apprentice were actually walking together with Jian Shuo. They seemed to be Jian Shuo's little bodyguards.

Even though Liu Ming has two thousand years of cultural knowledge accumulation, he still can't figure out the key point at the moment.

Didn't Zhao and Zhang go to investigate Wang Yue's background? Did they make other arrangements?

Instead of placing Wang Yue with me, he placed him with Jian Thief?

What is this operation?
  Jian Shuo saw Liu Minglue's confused expression and instantly realized that this was a stand-in, not the real Majesty. Naturally, he had never met Wang Yue.

"Ha, General Wang, please get up. You guys are waiting here. I have something to report to Your Majesty, General." Jian Shuo said and gestured, and the two of them crossed the threshold one after another and entered the palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jian Shuo asked in a low voice: "Why is Pan Yin dressed like this? The hungry people outside the city are not so miserable, right?"

"Oh, forget it." Liu Ming spread his hands and couldn't cry. "Yesterday, I followed the general's order and went to survey the location of the paper mill. As a result, I accidentally alerted the concubines in the harem, and they rushed up. , the tide rushed over, Pan Yin blocked the left and right, and his clothes were torn to pieces.

"I saw that the situation was not good, so I ran away quickly, and only then did I escape the disaster. These women are really crazy. The general should protect me in Changle Palace. I won't go anywhere. It's too scary. I'm scared to death. …”

Jian Shuo burst out laughing when he heard this, patted Liu Ming on the shoulder and said: "You are still too young. If it had been His Majesty at that time, he would have been so happy, embracing you from left to right, like a fish in water, that would be called happiness, just like a fish in water." Even this general is jealous of me. But you were scared away, hahahaha..."

"No, wouldn't this make the concubines see the flaw?" Liu Ming pretended to be surprised, "I originally wanted to do something inappropriate, but I don't know how your majesty did it in the past. The situation was urgent at that time. , I couldn’t think about it at all, so I had to run away.”

"It's right to run away." Jian Shuo patted Liu Ming's shoulder again and said, "When His Majesty asks, I, the general, can answer the truth truthfully."

"Does Your Majesty often ask about my situation?" Liu Ming saw that the matter was just revealed, so he changed the subject and asked.
