Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 20 White Dragon Fish Clothes
The officials of the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty were divided into three systems: provincial officials, palace officials, and foreign officials.The distinction between internal officials and external courts has existed since ancient times, and in the court, the area where the emperor lived daily was called the province (also known as "forbidden center"), so there was a distinction between palace officials and provincial officials among the officials in the inner palace.

It was the eunuchs who served the emperor and took care of the emperor's daily life. The eunuchs in the province were all under the jurisdiction of the Huangmen Order. For example, Leng Shouguang belonged to this system.

The emperor's secretarial office is called Shangshutai, and its official office is located in the palace and outside the forbidden province.Its main management is to manage chapters and documents and draft edicts, but in fact, the government affairs are all handled by Shangshutai on behalf of the monarch, with great power.Officials who communicated between Shangshutai and the emperor included Shizhong, Zhongchangshi, and Huangmen Shilang.Among them, the servants are assumed by scholars; the Zhongchang servants and Huangmen servants are assumed by eunuchs.The servants enter the forbidden province only when they have something to do, and the Zhongchang servants and the Huangmen servants live in the province on a daily basis. Therefore, although the servants are the highest among the three, and the Zhongchang servants are the second, but the degree of intimacy with the monarch is determined by the Zhongchang servants. for the most.

However, benefiting from the power struggle between the butcher and the eunuch He Jin, the great general of Emperor Ling, He Jin followed Yuan Shao's suggestion and ordered to recruit more than 20 famous scholars from all over the world, such as Xun You, He Yong, Zheng Tai, Feng Ji, etc., to join the court. Entrusted with the task of a confidant, in order to dilute the eunuch's control over the government.It was at this time that Xun You broke into the palace and became a member of the palace official system.

The duty of the servant of the Huangmen is actually equivalent to that of the grandpa in the post office of the later generations, running to the forbidden center to convey the government order to the Shangshutai.But in fact, in feudal dynasties, being able to freely enter and exit the imperial palace is not comparable to that of foreign officials. It is an official position that stands on the front line of the supreme leader of the world to show his talent, which is equivalent to the role of secretary and driver next to the boss of later generations.

Of course, Liu Xie, who knew the history of the late Han Dynasty well, did not dare to regard Xun You as an ordinary secretary.If Li Ru was the first guy to appear on the stage of history as a mastermind in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, then Xun You should be one of the brightest stars among the many dazzling masterminds in the early period of the Three Kingdoms.

The evaluation of this product in history is a legend.

He is very smart. He was able to detect words and emotions when he was 13 years old, and he discovered a murderer who was hiding in the dark!

After returning to Boss Cao, this guy was out of control.During the Battle of the White Horse, he and Cao Cao had a tacit understanding to the point of being good friends. He understood the meaning of the other party with just one look, and then put it into practice. He discarded the luggage to the pursuers and let them pick it up. , counterattacked with one drum, and beheaded General Wen Chou.By the way, Wen Chou's death has nothing to do with Er Ye...

Under Xun You's tactical advice, Cao Cao repeatedly won the battles of Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and others. "Three Kingdoms" stated that Xun You planned twelve strange strategies one after another.And Cao Cao, who has the pride of being a hero in the world, evaluated Xun You as the most perfect evaluation of all counselors. At that time, Xun You was already a nearly perfect tactician who valued both ability and political integrity.

However, Xun You, who was only 34 years old at this time and was still in the youth stage, obviously had not yet reached that height.At this time, he should still be a radical member of Dong Zhuo with vicious vision and extreme thinking, thinking wholeheartedly about assassinating Dong Zhuo.

What Liu Xie needs is precisely such a patriotic youth.After all, he was too wise and too old, and Liu Xie couldn't even get up the courage to fool around.

When he was young, Xun You, dressed in court uniform, came to Liu Xie, bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, the court drum has sounded, please move your majesty to the court."

After all, he is a famous person in the Three Kingdoms. Liu Xie took a closer look at Xun You's face. Xun You's complexion is fair, but his appearance is not outstanding. The half-blind man in the east of the village learned the half-baked physiognomy technique. This person should be the kind of person who is stupid on the outside and wise on the inside.

Of course, it is also possible that he had such an imagination because he knew it was Xun You.If it were Liu Xie in history, I'm afraid he would really only regard Xun You as an ordinary messenger.

"Gongda, today's court meeting... It is very likely that I will not participate in future court meetings." Seeing Xun You, who had waited for a long time for no reply, raised his head, Liu Xie suddenly reacted, with a youthful and mature look. With a regretful and helpless expression, he replied to Xun You: "This is the edict I wrote last night, you can take it and announce it to the courtiers."

Xun You was not too surprised when he heard the words, but he accepted the edict from Leng Shouguang with a puzzled face, opened it, and saw that it clearly read: Since I came to the throne, I have been worried that the world will be ruined, but my strength will decline before I reach it , only meditation to recuperate.The Taishi is the head of the six officials, who is in charge of the six codes of the state, and governs the state by assisting the king.In the future, all affairs in the court will be decided by the Grand Master.I hope that all ministers and ministers will take the honor of the Han Dynasty as the most important thing, and help them wholeheartedly and earnestly.

After reading this edict, Xun You's eyes became very interesting.The meaning of this edict is clearly that Liu Xie intends to quit the job because of his illness.But the problem is, now that Liu Xie is standing in front of Xun You alive and kicking, there is more to ponder about.

If it were those ministers who were stunned when they met Dong Zhuo yesterday, and slapped blood when they heard the debate, when they saw this edict, they would definitely drag Liu Xie into tears regardless of 21. Say that the Han Dynasty is about to perish, and you, Liu Xie, are the chief culprit. When the ancestors of the Han Dynasty saw this edict, they all crawled out of the Taimiao and strangled you to death, and then dragged Liu Xie to the court.

But Xun You's reaction was very calm. He frowned slightly, and then he simply bowed and said, "I would like to obey the holy order."

Liu Xie couldn't help but smile wryly, this Xun You was right as he guessed, he never put himself, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in his eyes.It is estimated that when I saw this edict, I thought it was because children could not pass the game and quit in a fit of anger.Therefore, when Xun You was about to leave, Liu Xie had to come up with some dry goods.

"Gongda, I have turned from light to darkness, and retreated. Sitting and waiting for death is not the way to go. From what Gongda sees, how should I accumulate wind and thunder to wait for the right time?"

Xun You, who had his back to Liu Xie, turned around when he heard the words, and looked at the smiling young man in disbelief.He even forgot the proper etiquette, and just looked at Liu Xie unscrupulously with those eyes that suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to see something ugly from Liu Xie.

This process was very short, so short that when Liu Xie was a little guilty, Xun You's eyes had already returned to the calm and unwavering appearance before.However, Xun You didn't answer, but showed a hesitant and thoughtful expression.

At this time, Liu Xie was no longer guilty when he saw Xun You's reaction, but turned into a slight anger.After all, it is only right and proper for the monarch and his ministers to give advice, but Xun You's reaction is to consider what Liu Xie's intention is in today's move!That is to say, in the bottom of Xun You's heart, there is no concept of being loyal to the emperor at all!

Such a reaction naturally made Liu Xie quite dissatisfied.He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although he does not expect to take all the physical strength, time, and emotions of his courtiers as his own and treat them like slaves like the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Xun You is a Han Dynasty who is deeply favored by the Han Dynasty after all. minister!Now that he even showed such distrust towards the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Tianjia's pride, this point, this body still has some.Even though, Liu Xie was only a 12-year-old child at this time.But the difference in status is enough to make these dissatisfaction clear and clear, and he further questioned Xun You: "Xun Shilang, what I asked before, is it too naive to be heard by the servant?"

"I'm terrified, I'm in a trance for a while, Your Majesty Wanwang forgive me." Xun You hastily bowed and kowtowed. Although he is a famous scholar and wise man in the world, he has no way to deal with Liu Xie's outrageous accusations.After all, the royal family of the Tian family has never been fools. Those famous people can be indifferent to fame and wealth, live in seclusion and refuse the imperial court's summons, but once these people enter the court, they will be firmly bound by the Tian family system and have no power to fight back.

"Since Your Majesty asked the right question today, I have the courage to say something, hoping to relieve Your Majesty's anger." Xun You raised his head leisurely, with a meaningful expression, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard the story of the white dragon fish suit? ?”

"White dragon fish suit?" Liu Xie frowned immaturely, as if thinking of something.And when I wanted to ask more questions, Xun You had already got up to leave and left...

And looking at Xun You's figure slowly disappearing into the palace, Liu Xie really said sadly and helplessly: "If this person really plans things with him, why should the world worry about it?!"
