Chapter Thirteen Five Generals
The next day, the court meeting.
Nowadays, Xu Ducheng also has a court meeting, but Cao Cao will not come in most cases. If Cao Cao does not come, many of the hard-core direct descendants who are pro-Cao simply won’t come.
Therefore, the so-called court meeting often has more meaning than its actual meaning. Nowadays, most of the things in the world are ordered to leave the Sikong Mansion. How many people in the world care about what the court meeting said?
If it weren't for Xun Yu, Ding Chong, Wang Dae, and several ministers who tried their best to maintain the various etiquette and rules of the dynasty and tried their best to restrain the Cao generals, the last dignity of the Han Dynasty would have been completely discarded.
If Cao Cao didn't come, Liu Xie would naturally not come. Among the three ministers, only Situ Zhao Wen was left. It was extremely difficult to take on the main responsibilities, regardless of qualifications or ability. Dong Fen, the chief censor of the three censors, is now a decoration. The position of Sili lieutenant was originally Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao gave Zhong Yao to him to comfort Guanzhong. Therefore, the only person who can do the responsibilities in the court was Shangshu Ling Xun Yu.
Xun Yu announced a news unexpectedly at the beginning of the court meeting: In a hurry on the front line, General Sikong personally led a large army to attack Zhang Xiu three times, and Xu Du officially started martial law from today.
Everyone had different thoughts and strange expressions.
I always feel that Cao Cao was angry with the emperor, so I just found an excuse to temporarily avoid the foreign report who scolded him.
But now that I leave Xu Du at this time, aren’t I afraid that the emperor will take the opportunity to seize power?
Then everyone's hearts came to mind.
Cao Ren and seven thousand soldiers were stationed in the south of Xudu City. There was also a popular Xudu Guard in the city. The only one in the emperor could call was the less than 500 guards in Zhong Ji's hands. Among these 500 people, I don't know how many of them were Cao Cao's people.
As long as the military power is in hand, no matter how hard the remaining civil servants fight, they will be just clowns after all.
"Okay, let's discuss matters." Xun Yu said calmly, as if Cao Cao's departure from the war had no effect on him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Ji immediately stood up: "Lingjun, I have something to do, I want to discuss it."
Xun Yu nodded, not at all surprised.
This kind of collection is no matter how many times it is, the new nine ministers, the emperor's true confidant. It would be really strange if he did not burn a few fires while his new official took office at this critical moment.
"The Xiaguan has been newly appointed as a heavy responsibility. In recent days, he has been uneasy in food and sleep. He is afraid that he will not be able to do a good job and let down the trust of the emperor, Sikong and Lord Lingjun. The Xiaguan proposes that if he can assign some subordinates to the Xiaguan to assist the Xiaguan?"
"I don't know what position Guangluxun wants to appoint, and who will be promoted?"
"The lower official has always had good friends with Xun You and Xun Shangshu, and he is also well aware of this person's talent. I wonder if the Lord can allow Gongda to serve as the General of the Five-Secret General?"
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"The lower officials will ask for it again, and Du Xi will also serve as the left central general, Zhao Yan will be the right central general, Xu Yue will be the south central general, and Xu Huang will be the north central general."
Xun Yu is particularly mysterious.
Except for Xu Huang, they are all from Yingchuan and all recommended by themselves. There are two of them in the Xun family.
What exactly do the emperor and Zhongji want to do?
Be apart from Sikong and me?
Or... to win the hearts of Yingchuan gentry?
These generals of the Central Army are nominally directly under Guangluxun, so there is nothing wrong with Zhong Ji's mention of this. They are all part-time jobs, which does not affect the jobs of these people. To put it bluntly, Zhong Ji puts a layer of gold on these people's faces for no reason.
In the third year of Jian'an when the general was not yet full of streets, the Central Army Generals who were officially enthroned by the imperial court were still very valuable, especially the four Central Army Generals in the left and right north and south and the Central Army General in the right and left and right corners. This is completely different from the messy Central Army Generals later. Although they were all empty titles of honor, they were also empty titles of two thousand stones. At least they were very proud of their appearance. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun served as Generals in the left and right corners respectively.
Xun Yu instinctively wanted to refuse, but hesitated when he said that. After all, Xun Lingjun is also a human being. The people who just named him are either his close friends or his relatives. No matter how poor the general of the Central Army is, at least he can get more salary, right? If he refuses too simply, even if he doesn't make a fuss, even if he doesn't make a slap in the community, he thinks that these relatives and friends will always have some complaints. Even if they don't complain, their wives must have.
"This matter... I'll go back to the Shangshu Desk in a while and then think about it carefully."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ji stood back with great tactfulness, and even closed his eyes and took a nap. He didn't listen to the contents of the court meeting behind him, and he was too lazy to listen to it.
After the meeting, Zhong Ji took care of himself and went to the palace to report the matter to Liu Xie, saying that although Xun Lingjun did not agree immediately, he did not directly deny it, and the probability of this matter being accomplished is very high.
And Liu Xie... had no idea what this kind of collection was thinking.
He doesn't understand other positions, but he has heard of this position of General Secretary General of the Five Characters. It seems that this is the position of Cao Pi in the future?
Although he didn't know what the official position was for, he thought that this year's album was Cao Cao's confidant. Among the selected candidates for this album, he had at least heard of Xun You and knew that this was also Cao Cao's confidant. These positions seemed to be related to the future Cao Pi again, so what else could he ask about?
I am so obedient, how could I get along with Cao Cao?
So he waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want."
Zhong Ji thought to himself that he did the right thing this time. It seems that my idea is right. Your Majesty is to win over the Yingchuan Group under Cao Zhe.
So after leaving the palace, Zhong Ji rushed to the capital of Yingchuan County, Yangdi County.
After learning about this, Xun Yu almost completely guessed the thoughts of Zong Ji and the Emperor. He sighed in a complicated mood and decided not to care about it and leave it to fate.
However, even Xun Yu knew that Zong Ji had gone to Yangdi, and Guo Jia, who was in charge of the school affairs office, naturally knew earlier than him. Guo Jia could understand the problem that Xun Yu could figure out.
Whether it is civil and military under Cao Cao, there are actually three main parts, namely the Qiao County Group, most of which are the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans. These people are exhausted and the emperor cannot win over them. The leader of the Yanzhou landlord group is Cheng Yu. When Chen Gong and Zhang Miao rebelled, they all stood the test and should be trusted.
The only person who may be attracted by the emperor is Yingchuan Group. Its leader is Xun Yu, the number one under Cao Cao, who is now the Shangshu Ling, who is the only one in the three!
These people were all joined by Cao Cao after he welcomed the emperor. To be honest, even Guo Jia didn't know whether these people voted for Cao Cao or the emperor. Unlike the old ministers in Yanzhou, the famous scholars in Yingchuan were all popular no matter which prince they went to. If Cao Cao had no emperor, they might not have loved this lord.
Although Guo Jia is also from Yingchuan, he came from the side branch of the Guo family in Yangdi, and was not the same as those so-called famous people. He had almost no family burden. Although Xun Yu recommended him, Cao Cao was very loyal to him and entrusted him with important tasks. He had already decided to dedicate his life to Cao Cao himself and regarded himself as Cao Cao's private minister.
For the sake of the lord's great cause and the feelings of his fellow countrymen, he could also completely ignore it.
"Where is Zhang San?" Guo Jia ordered lightly.
"Sacrificial Wine" walked out of the shadow a man with a gloomy face and bowed to Guo Jia with fists.
"Send me a letter back to Yangdi to my mother, greet her, and kill Zhongji for me by the way. Remember, you must let him die in Yingyin, and it is best to let him die in Xun's family."
"Here"
