The next day, the time of the court meeting.

"Report to Your Majesty, Yang Xu is talented and virtuous. He will be promoted to the chief of the General of the Cavalry. The doctor Zhang Jun will be promoted to the steward. Xun You, the minister of the Yellow Gate, was appointed as the clerk of the Western Cao. I hope your majesty will be approved." Liu Fan said straight to Liu Hong.

Although Yang Xu was middle-aged, this was his second time to become an official in the court and became a prefect. After going out to become a prefect, he achieved the political achievement of being promoted to the third duke in just a few years. Because he was honest and had no money to donate to Xiyuan, he refused to take office. Because he moved to Lujiang in just four years, he moved to Lujiang many times and led troops to quell the rebellion. He became sick after overwork and did not take office until he died of illness.

Although Yang Xu stood up to stop him from going to Yanmen, Liu Fan later knew that Liu Hong had a certain idea in his heart, even if Yang Xu didn't say anything, his plan would not be implemented.

Zhang Jun was a loyal minister, and Liu Fan recruited him to protect him. According to the progress of history, it would not take long for Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others to take revenge on Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun would die without a place to bury him.

Xun You was called the "master of strategy" by Cao Cao in history. On Cao Cao's way to rule the north, Xun You made plans and plans will succeed. It can be said that Xun You was the person Liu Fan cared most about in the entire court.

His strategy is no worse than Jia Xu, and his self-protection method is not the same as Jia Xu. In the dynasty for more than 20 years, he was able to handle the complex relationship between the upper and lower and left and right in the political vortex with ease. In the extremely cruel personnel struggle, he always had a stable position and stood in an unbreakable place.??

But Xun You has not reached its peak yet. It can be seen from the fact that Xun You planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo a few years later and was imprisoned.

But Liu Fan is not afraid. People need to grow up. As long as they can win over Xun You's heart, it doesn't matter if they wait for a few years, because he is still young.

Everyone knows Yang Xu and Zhang Jun, but who is Xun You? Few people have heard of it.

Xun You, who was sitting at the back of the ministers, raised his head gently and looked about twenty-five years old.

Unlike his uncle Xun Yu, Xun Yu is handsome and has a graceful appearance. He is undoubtedly a gentleman's temperament, leaving behind Xun Ling's reputation as a gentleman as Yu. Xun You is ordinary in appearance and has a muddy face, looking harmless.

After several months in the court, Xun You did not say a word, and very few people knew him. I guess even Liu Hong had forgotten that he had such a yellow-sect minister.

"Accurate!" Liu Hong corrected.

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister feels that he is old and is not willing to handle government affairs. In order to prevent any mistakes, the old minister wants to resign from his post as Situ, and begs for approval from His Majesty."

Situ Chen Dan stood up and bowed to Liu Hong, asking.

When Liu Hong thought, Chen Dan was not young anymore. Chen Dan had always been loyal to his post. Liu Hong was reluctant to leave him, so he asked Chen Dan: "Is your dear to be unwell? Why not take a rest at home for a while before going to the court director?"

"It is a small matter to be loyal to the country, and it is a big matter to be exhausted by me." Chen Dan shook his head and said.

As long as the country is peaceful and the people are stable, Chen Dan dares to hit the pillar and make a desperate advice, let alone give up his official position.

"I am sure that I will leave my post." Liu Hong sighed, feeling very much.

"I wonder if there is no candidate suitable for Situ in my heart?" Liu Hong asked Chen Dan.

"The court has many civil and military officials, and there are many virtuous people, so I dare not make arbitrary decisions." Chen Dan bowed to Liu Hong and then returned to his seat.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the political rights of the three dukes gradually belonged to the Shangshutai, Situ was indispensable in charge of national education.

"Can the General of the Cavalry have recommended it?" Liu Hong asked Liu Fan again.

"Situ is the top priority of the country, and I dare not make a conclusion. It is better to temporarily let the Grand Master and the Weiwei handle the Situ affairs, and Your Majesty observe for a period of time before making a conclusion." Liu Fan suggested to Liu Hong.

"Okay." Liu Hong nodded in agreement.

...

After the court came, the ten regular attendants gathered together to discuss the matter of Chen Dan's resignation and the vacancy of Situ.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the sale of official positions and titles is prohibited, and the position of Situ cannot be taken." Zhang Rang took the lead in speaking to the attendants.

"I know best who Your Majesty is. When the boat is ready, your Majesty will not disagree." The Central Constable Gao Wang said disapprovingly.

"Or we can make a noise, and any prince and doctor will give us the most money, so we will recommend him as Situ together." The Central General Bi Lan also spoke up.

"Don't be guilty. The matter of Zhang Jun's thief impeachment from us has not yet passed. I am about to go to punish Zhang Jun, but unfortunately Liu Fan enforced him into the mansion." Zhao Zhong said to everyone seriously: "In extraordinary times, it is better for us to keep a low profile."

"I see that boy Liu Fan is not the same as us. That day after he and Your Majesty entered the Shangshutai, Your Majesty ordered the ban on selling official positions." Duan Gui said hatefully.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. What's more, what eunuchs care about the most is money.

"Liu Fan has become a climate and should not be easily provoked. Everyone should be cautious first. Listen to my words and never cause any fire to burn yourself." Zhang Rang said cautiously.

Zhu Changshi nodded one by one, and he had secret hatred in his heart. He Jin and Liu Fan were both ungrateful wolves who were not familiar with him.

When Queen He was in the most dangerous situation, they paid for the position of Queen He as the queen. It can be said that He Jin's position was supported by them.

But after He Jin became the general, he opposed them everywhere.

When Liu Fan was fighting outside, they thought Liu Fan wanted to surrender to them and kept saying good things in front of the emperor. Liu Fan's power is even more powerful than He Jin. But Liu Fan wants to go against them again.

This is a lesson that made Zhang Rang and others wary of their own rights in their hearts. In the future, they should not give them to their own people.

After Liu Fan went to the court, he went directly to the Shangshu Deck.

Although the Shangshutai belongs to Shaofu, it comprehensively manages government affairs and is the central organ of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because it is in the middle platform in the palace, it is named after the platform. It is called Tai Pavilion in the forbidden palace.

In view of the fact that the power of Emperor Guangwu was lost to nobles and ministers at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu tried his best to concentrate his power on the monarch and handed over all the secret matters to the Shangshu to restrict the three dukes. Therefore, the power of the Shangshu was increased.

The Shangshutai issued both edicts and political orders; the election of court officials was in charge; the Shangshutai also had the power to inspect, impeach and entrust all officials; and participated in the planning and decision-making of major state affairs, which had a significant impact on the court affairs.

Although the power of the Shangshutai was heavy, the position of the Taiwanese officials was humble. The superiors of the Shangshutai were only a thousand stones, and they were still under the nine ministers. Such low-ranking positions were all served by the emperor personally as capable people, which was easy to control and had high efficiency.

After Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many young monarchs and weak lords were often controlled by relatives and eunuchs. Although the three dukes had to obey the orders of the Shangshu, the Shangshu was often controlled by relatives and eunuchs who had greater real power.

The Record of Shangshu is not the highest civil servant. His main accusation is to review which memorials can be shown to the emperor and which cannot be shown to the emperor. If necessary, he can handle it himself. This also causes the right to record Shangshu is the greatest among civil servants.
