In the Zhuolong Garden, a famous palace lady brought delicacies to the tables of all the ministers like a flowing stream of food. The new emperor would certainly enjoy it.

Liu Neng walked around the banquet from time to time and quickly became familiar with people he didn't know.

"Lord, your Majesty..." Li Ru knelt down next to Chen Mo with a glass of wine, squinted his eyes at Liu Neng, and said softly: "It's not as simple as what the intelligence said."

According to previous understanding, this Liu Neng has no ideas. He eats and drinks when he has no money. When he has money, he hangs out in brothels and prostitutes. He is not a serious person. There are many street gangsters in Luoyang around him who idle around all day long.

, if it weren’t for Luoyang’s strict laws, I don’t know how much goods would have been broken into.

"Sometimes being uneducated does not mean being incapable." Chen Mo was holding a glass of wine with a faint smile on his face. Liu Neng was at least quite skilled in speaking favorably. With Chen Mo, he could talk to anyone with his knowledge.

When it comes to one difference, Liu Neng is well-versed in worldly affairs, but he can always find some specious topics to talk about, and he can praise people. This is a great subject, and Liu Neng is obviously good at it. He didn't even see half of the banquet, and he was already following the group.

I have become acquainted with him a lot.

It's a pity that good human relations may make people happy, but it doesn't always lead to success. There has only been one great ancestor from ancient times to the present, and the world today is not the same as it was at the end of Qin Dynasty.

Chen Mo thought about how if he were Liu Neng, how to take back the power bit by bit from his own hands and delegate power. Chen Mo never thought that when he got to this point, even if he was willing to step down, the consequences after stepping down might be.

This is a disaster that affects the whole family. What's more, the current situation in Guanzhong was created by himself. If anyone else, he might not be willing to continue to follow Chen Mo's strategy.

Because the emperor wanted to regain power, Chen Mo had no choice but to join forces with those big families, because Chen Mo's policies were aimed at this group of people, but he was wooing small and medium-sized families, as well as poor families, wealthy businessmen, and generals.

Don't look at Yang Biao, Zhong Yao is now used by them. That is because they can see the general trend clearly and know that the situation in Guanzhong is irreversible. Unless they leave Guanzhong, they can only follow Chen Mo to save the family. But if there is real evidence

Given the opportunity to overthrow Chen Mo, these people will not show mercy.

There are many things to do in the establishment of a new imperial court, and the emperor is only one of them. At this time, the salaries of the courtiers must also be paid. Of course, before that, you can’t count. Then you have to go to Cao Cao. Don’t ask yourself. If you ask, you won’t have it.

.

The Yanxi dinner ended in the afternoon.

After returning to the government office, Xu Shu and Li Ru didn't look too good. As for the reason... Liu Neng was able to enjoy a drink with every minister during the banquet, but only Chen Mo was left behind. Is this considered a show of authority?

Even though everyone was decent people and didn't say anything, they were still panicking. You know, Liu Neng was picked up by Chen Mo, and they were not stupid. It can be seen that although Liu Neng was pretending to be crazy, he was still a fool.

I want to play to seize power.

"It's getting late, let's go back each other." Chen Mo was open-minded. At this time, the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers should still be respected. The emperor he promoted had to maintain his face, otherwise he would be slapped in the face.

"Here!" Xun You and the others bowed and said.

Xu Shu and Yang Xiu left separately, but Li Ru and Xun You were on the same road. They didn't get in the car, but just walked forward in the city. Li Ru looked at Xun You and smiled: "Gongda doesn't seem to be worried at all?"

"The emperor is still a little immature now." Xun You naturally knew what Li Ru meant. He was dissatisfied with his lack of expression, so he smiled as he walked away.

"It is quite unwise to show hostility before the emperor is firmly seated." Li Ru nodded and looked at Xun You, but he understood. Firstly, Xunyou saw the gap between the emperor and his lord. Secondly, with Xunyou,

Xun You's family background was actually the target of the emperor's wooing. As long as it was not too excessive, Xun You would not express his position easily.

cunning.

Li Ru and Xun You said goodbye. Chen Mo's five great advisers were actually divided into factions. Li Ru and Xu Shu were loyal to Silence, while Xun You, like most aristocratic families, was loyal to Chen Mo. But if one day Chen Mo showed signs of fatigue.

If they lose power, people like Xun You are actually unreliable, but as long as Chen Mo can continue to be strong, they will not betray easily. As for Jia Xu... let's count it as neutral.

On the other side, after Chen Mo asked Xun You and others to go back, he did not return home immediately, but went straight to Luoyang Prison.

"Mr. Wenhe, you said that you were considered a close minister of Marquis Changling before, but now you are directly imprisoned just because you have not been in charge of government for a few days. I don't want Marquis Changling to be known as benevolent and righteous, but he is so harsh on his subordinates. It is really chilling.

." In the quiet and cold prison, a jailer helped Jia Xu put the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Look, I can only serve you here now. If you go out in the future, don't forget about me.

benefit."

"Of course I will remember it." Jia Xu sniffed the aroma of the wine and said with a smile: "But it is better to say less about the lord's right and wrong, otherwise it will be bad if it gets into the lord's ears."

"What kind of person is Marquis Changling? In this prison, no noble person is seen all year round. How could he come here?" The jailer smiled nonchalantly.

"There are many things in this world that you can't imagine." A sudden voice came from behind.

The jailer didn't notice it at first, but then he was kicked. He turned around and saw the prison leader glaring at him fiercely: "Boss? Why are you here?"

"Don't talk nonsense in front of the lord!" The cell leader glared at him fiercely.

"My lord... my lord!?" The jailer was startled and quickly knelt down: "My lord, please spare my life, this is a humble position..."

"Go down." Chen Mo waved his hand. He didn't want to be serious with a jailer. He looked at the cell leader and said, "You go down too..."

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes narrowed and he looked at the jailer who was about to leave before. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I came to visit Wen He today. If it is leaked, I am asking for your sake."

"Here!" The prison boss understood, bowed quickly, said goodbye and left.

"What did your lord see?" Jia Xu stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Mo.

"I remember that before His Majesty ascended the throne, he knew a lot about all the three religions and nine schools in Luoyang City." Chen Mo sat down cross-legged, poured himself a glass of wine and said, "It seems that the people in Luoyang Prison have to be replaced."

"After all, he is a bit immature and is not the enemy of the lord." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"People will grow up. He is only eighteen. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"The world always says that my lord and Cao Cao are quite similar, but in Xu's opinion, they are quite different." Jia Xu said with a smile.

At least in terms of his attitude towards the royal family, Chen Mo is more indifferent than Cao Cao. Cao Cao at least still cares about his old feelings, but Chen Mo respects the Han Dynasty on the surface, but in his heart he is indifferent.

"He was born in an aristocratic family and grew up in an aristocratic family. Although I have the name of an aristocratic family, I grew up in the countryside. If there is peace and prosperity, I would like to be a good minister. But now, being entangled in these things is a burden." Chen Mo nodded.

, The situation is different, and the attitude towards looking at the problem is naturally impossible to be exactly the same. He and Cao Cao grew up in different environments. He was loyal to the big man, but when he found that he could not save it, Chen Mo would not be foolishly loyal. Loyalty comes at a price.

There is never free loyalty in this world.

Jia Xu nodded, looked at the wine in the wine glass, and said with a wry smile: "If possible, I would like to stay in this prison for the rest of my life."

"It's impossible in my lifetime, but in the past few years, I really hope that Wen He can stay here and control the situation for me." Chen Mo shook his head. He knew what Jia Xu meant. After all, it was the crime of regicide. Even if others didn't know,

But Chen Mo knew that other people could probably guess something.

"My lord, please give me your instructions." Jia Xu bowed and said.

"I will replace the jailers in Tianlao. From now on, this Luoyang prison will be the place where Wenhe manages government in the next few years. I will give you a team of people. As for what to do, this team of people will do a lot of complicated things.

Someone explained it carefully to Wen He." Chen Mo looked at Jia Xu Surong and said.

"Here!" Jia Xu can probably guess which team it is. In fact, the existence of Skynet has always been semi-transparent among Chen Mo's senior officials. To the outside world, it has always been a department that detects enemy intelligence. However, Chen Mo has always been clean in dealing with hundreds of officials in the DPRK.

Quick and easy, and always able to prove the crime conclusively, it is not difficult to guess that Chen Mo has a power of supervising hundreds of officials in his hands.

Jia Xu did not hesitate, because since Chen Mo said it, he did not give Jia Xu a second choice, and for Jia Xu, hiding behind the scenes was exactly what he wanted, and this was the safest place.

"What do Wen He think of the next thing?" After finishing the main conversation, Chen Mo began to ask about the next direction.

"Now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, it can be considered that my lord and Cao Cao have prevented a disaster. The regicide will soon be forgotten. Fu Wan and Dong Cheng are no longer of much use. Now that the world is completely divided, my lord

Although he defeated Yuan Shao once, the foundation of Jizhou has not been damaged. In my humble opinion, my lord can develop with peace of mind at this time and secretly accumulate strength to wait for the time to change. It is the right path. Don't be too hasty." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Originally, Chen Mo was planning to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, but now that Yuan Shu is proclaimed emperor, no matter what, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are close together, so he must deal with Yuan Shu first, and the previous alliance will naturally be out of the question. After Cao Cao calms down Yuan Shu,

Yuan Shao has almost recovered, and the three-legged confrontation has still not been broken. Then he can only continue to sort out Guanzhong, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Anyway, Chen Mo is young and can kill Cao Cao and Yuan Shao even if he is wasted. With the current situation in the world, Jia Xu feels that it is difficult to achieve results in a short time. If the Central Plains is to be unified, it is possible in ten or twenty years. This kind of matter is urgent.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo just took this opportunity to finish many unfinished things before, whether it was the academy, business, farming, or fortifications. Jia Xu felt that after completing these things, Chen Mo did not expand the land any more.
Chapter completed!
