Of these three people, two set out from Yexia and one from Liangzhou. They all arrived on the second day after the sacrifice. They must have been summoned by Duke Yan.

"Your Highness has three things to do!" As soon as Tian Yuanhao arrived, he just took a shower and changed his clothes to show his dignity, and then immediately performed his duties with a dark face in Liujiapu at the foot of Wangwu Mountain.

Responsibilities.

"Yuan Hao, please speak."

Liu Song went to Ye to serve as an official, and Gongsun Xun simply took over the family's house in a grand manner, and even drank on the kang in the back room without even wearing shoes.

However, as Gongsun Xun and Tian Feng began to talk, four people who had not worn shoes before, namely Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Yue, Wang Xiang, and Han Hao, immediately got off the kang and put on shoes. Only Gongsun Xun was the one.

He continued to put his big cloak on the Kang and watched Gongsun Ding and Gongsun Xu warming up the wine in front of the Kang.

Maybe it was because he was not in the court, or maybe because he had been holding these three things in his heart for a long time, so Tian Feng did not care about these details and immediately faced each other seriously below:

"First, the general and the prime minister are the most serious issues within and outside the country. How can they be repeated in one day? It's not that Prime Minister Lu can't be the Grand Commander-in-Chief, nor is it that Jia Wenhe, Shen Zhengnan, and Lou Zibo can't be prime minister, but why can't they be prime ministers?

A little order to prepare for unexpected events? In the past half month, the Grand Sima had not arrived in front of the army, but His Highness had returned north. What if there were changes on the front line? And if there is still a Xun Gongda on the front line who can lead the central army, then I

Before leaving Yexia with General Zhenbei, three of the seven prime ministers of Yexia left at one time, and the three new prime ministers were all in Henan at that time. They were separated by more than ten days. Among the three most critical prime ministers, only one of them took over the role of left prime minister.

Dong Jizhou is in office! If something big happens, who will deal with it?!"

Gongsun Xun thought seriously for a while, but then nodded solemnly: "Yuan Hao is absolutely right, this matter was a mistake... I originally thought that the Queen Mother was in Hebei, and I came to Hedong, and Liu Bei had no field troops on the front line.

, everything is stable, and the overall situation is not a concern, but they have forgotten that the system of generals and prime ministers is related to the foundation of the country. Indeed, we should not be so hasty, and we should be prepared for the internal system. Just as you said, in the future, the change of generals and prime ministers will be based on one central point.

Two of the three characteristics cannot be eliminated at one time, and two of the seven characteristics must not be eliminated at the same time... to achieve customization."

Tian Feng's expression softened a little, but he continued to speak solemnly: "Secondly, His Highness, as the Duke of the country, represents the world's democracy. He naturally has the power and responsibility to appoint and remove officials in the world, and the people of the world will not question His Highness's appointment and removal, especially this

Many of the appointments and dismissals involved new lands in the Central Plains. Your Highness also had the power to deal with the situation in the south, but many officials were still sent to Hebei or left from Hebei... Since His Highness has established three provinces, six ministries, four stations and ten

The Second Temple should respect the system a little bit, and at least have records and procedures. Go to Yexia and go to the horse quickly to pass on the order. Why are the white horses running away in all directions with the documents, and the governors and governors are all doing it on their own?"

Gongsun Xun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded again: "What Yuan Hao said makes sense... This matter should really be delegated to Ye as much as possible, but please Yuan Haonian before it is still a war, and the battlefield is huge,

So there is no need to be too harsh. Because some things are inconclusive, it doesn’t necessarily mean who is right or wrong, it is just a matter of weight, and Gu has already made up his mind that after this battle, the weight should be given to the center as much as possible."

Tian Feng slowly twirled his beard and nodded, then became serious again: "Your Highness, what is Lu Bu's crime?!"

Gongsun Xun quietly looked at the wine bottle that was already warm but had not been served, and suddenly laughed: "Not guilty!"

"Why kill him if he is innocent?" Tian Feng kept pressing.

Gongsun Xun leaned back against the earthen wall behind the window and raised his hand to signal his nephew Gongsun Xu to serve the warm wine. However, he took a sip of the hot wine before speaking seriously: "Private grudge! I won't do this again!"

Tian Feng was furious: "It's just a personal grudge, and if you don't follow the same example next time, why do you want to kill him? Does Your Highness think that the mistake can cover up the past?"

"Extremely angry!"

"What's the resentment?"

"Yuan Hao, have you ever heard of a poem?" Gongsun Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly raised his bottle to face it.

"What poem?"

"Singing over wine, life is so long! Just like the morning dew, the past days are full of hardships. Generosity should be used to make worries unforgettable. How can one relieve worries? Du Kang is the only one." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the kang with his back against the earthen wall, suddenly raised his hands.

Zun, facing the southeast far away, made the house full of steaming heat fall silent as soon as he spoke. "Qingqing Zijin, my heart is so long. But for the sake of you, I have been thinking about it till now."

In the silence of the elegant bird, Gongsun Xun continued to raise his glass and recite: "Hey, the deer roars, and the apples in the wild are eaten. I have a guest, who plays the drum, harp, and sheng."

It's as bright as the moon, when can you shake it off? Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off. Crossing the distance across the country, it's useless to live together. Have a long talk? I'm thinking of old kindness."

Hearing this, almost all the literate people in the house woke up. This was Duke Yan missing Cao Cao, and the words Cong Qi Kuo Tan? It was even more that Duke Yan was recalling his visit to Cao Cao and the hospitality he received in Qiao County.

of something.

But Tian Feng was still aggrieved and seemed to wait until Gongsun Xun finished reciting before continuing to question.

However, Gongsun Xun lowered his head and drank from the glass of wine in his hand. He took a long breath, raised the empty bottle and read out the last four sentences: "The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south. Three circles around the tree."

What branch can I rely on? The mountains never get too high, and the sea never gets too deep. The Duke of Zhou feeds and the world returns to its heart!"

The house was completely silent, except for the fluttering of snowflakes outside the window, reminding everyone in the house that this was not a moonlit night, but a snowy day.

"Yuan Hao, are you good at poetry?" Gongsun Xun put his cup away and faced each other.

"It is indeed wonderful!" Tian Feng sighed, but wanted to continue saying something.

"This is what Gu prepared to sing in Qiao County after he killed Cao Mengde!" Gongsun Xun then faced him sternly. "And at the beginning of this year, when the clouds of war were gathering, I wrote this poem to Cao Mengde and told him

, if he wins, he must recite it three times for Gu Hengshan at Yexia Tongque Terrace! But now, Gu can only recite it once in vain here, and then throw the cup into the snow."

With that said, Gongsun Xun didn't even look back, and directly threw the wine bottle in his hand out of the side and rear window with his backhand.

"I know that Your Highness and Cao Mengde are close friends, and I deeply hate Lu Bu's intervention, but I still shouldn't do this." Tian Feng became more helpless, but also more determined.

"I know I was wrong," Gongsun Xun suddenly said with a smile, but he gestured to his eldest son to bring another bottle of wine. "Looking back now, how could Lu Bu and others not know this? This matter is partly related to Gu's own carelessness, he said

Maybe I thought it was Gu who hinted that he was responsible for this! But if I let Gu Zhong choose again, maybe he won’t be killed with feces, but he will still be cut into pieces to vent the hatred in my heart. Yuan Hao, I won’t do the same next time!"

"How can we win people's hearts if we don't follow suit next time?" Tian Feng shook his head, his dissatisfaction evident in his words.

"This is exactly what Gu wants to tell you, Yuan Hao..." Gongsun Xun continued to take a sip of hot wine, but smiled calmly at Tian Feng. "In terms of winning people's hearts, Gu really doesn't want to win anything at this time.

People’s hearts!”

Tian Feng's expression changed drastically, but he hesitated to speak.

"Why did Yuan Hao give up halfway?" Gongsun Xun seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Weren't you just being stubborn? Is there something you didn't dare to say?"

"Your Highness." Tian Feng clasped his hands for a moment and sighed: "Actually, there are four things that I wanted to really question during this trip. The reason why there are only three left is because I thought about it for a while on the way and felt that one thing may not be true.

If I should ask, I should avoid suspicion. But His Highness is so frank at this time, and it would seem that I would be derelict in my duty if I didn't ask."

"Is it about Wen He becoming prime minister?" Gongsun Xun seemed to have expected it. Next to him, brothers Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, and all the staff members also had subtle expressions. Only Wang Xiang was born a slave, and his thoughts were always on literature.

On top of the regulations, the so-called "no desire means being strong" remains the same as before.

"Of course." Tian Feng sighed for a moment. "In fact, since ancient times, the world has been the property of one surname, and nothing else. The appointment or position of the prime minister should be decided by the head of the country, and other people should not interfere, but now

At this time, I still want to take advantage of Mr. Liu’s private space to ask His Highness privately, why is it Jia Wenhe?”

"Just as Yuan Hao guessed, and just as Gu just suggested, I want to take this opportunity to tell those who are lucky enough that the world of Yan has nothing to do with them!" Gongsun Xun still smiled when he said the first half of the sentence.

In response, in the second half of the sentence, he was already awe-inspiring. "I would rather be unified for three years at night than make peace with them in exchange for them surrendering Liu Biao and Liu Yan! Because in troubled times, sometimes we take the right path.

It’s more important than taking the fast road! Besides, now that things have come to this, do they really think that the world belongs to them?! After eight years of hard work and constant fighting, have they been in vain for eight years?!”

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, but many people could not help but look confused in fear. Even Zhuge Liang frowned for a moment, but Sima Yi sighed slightly in his heart, and then lost his mind in a corner.

"This matter is indeed a grievance for Zhengnan. In fact, according to his seniority and Gu's original intention, he should have succeeded as Prime Minister; it has also been a grievance for Gongda. In terms of time, he should have been promoted to Ye..." Gongsun Xun continued to raise the issue.

The bottle is full and the drink is full. "But the world is uncertain, and it is difficult for them to take their position in one day! But they should also understand my difficulties. When the world is peaceful, there will always be their place."

Tian Feng finally had nothing to say.

Snow was falling outside the window, and on the second day after Tian Feng and the two important clan officials arrived, Duke Yan had a conversation with the three of them and issued a new decree:

Gongsun Fan led Pingzhou Mu and took up his post in Liaodong. He replaced the right general Zhao Bao, who led Pingzhou Mu, and returned to the "central hub". He dismissed the right general Zhao Bao as Pingzhou Mu and "entered the court" as the envoy of Yushitai!

Immediately, he was given the title of Governor of Zhenxi General Gongsun Yue, stationed in Chang'an, and governor of Yong, Liang, Zang, and Yizhou's military and political affairs. He then dismissed Tian Feng from the post of Chief Envoy of Yushitai and was promoted to Yizhou Mu, and was given the title of Deputy Governor;

With the title of deputy governor, the champion general Zhao Yun was still stationed in Hanzhong.

Finally, Gongsun, the eldest son of Duke Yan, was appointed as the Five-Fun Zhonglang General and was stationed in Wudu. He was under the jurisdiction of the Western Front Commander Gongsun Yue, the deputy governors Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, the Liangzhou Mu Zhang Ji, and the Wudu Governor Pang De.

By the way, he also became neighbors with Guo Jia, the new governor of Hanzhong, Ma Chao, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, and Jiang Gan, the commander-in-chief of southwestern Longxi (established for the Qiang people).

As soon as the news came out, not to mention that the world was bound to be shaken again, Yizhou was bound to be frightened, and his subordinates were bound to be rejoiced, but Pingzhou, which had been hollowed out, did not know how it would react. On this day, Gongsun Xun had decided on the strategy for Yizhou

, but did not wait for the eldest son to return to Ye to celebrate the New Year. In the cold winter, he personally sent the eldest son across the river, preparing for him to go to his post with Gongsun Yue and Tian Feng.

The newly appointed Lieutenant General Wu Guan will only have three accompanying secretaries, all of whom were personally appointed by Gongsun Xun. They are Wang Can, Zhuge Liang, and Gongsun Xu. No matter how young these three people are, they will not make a mistake when they go to a field to raise livestock.

Account...

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the Yellow River froze. Many Yi Congduo, who knew the true protagonist of this trip to Hedong, watched Wang Can with an envious look. Zhuge Liang was about to leave the team along with his son, Wu Guan Zhonglang, who succeeded his father, and the latter was prostrate in the snow.

In front of his own father, he asked for instruction.

"There is nothing to teach." In the wind and snow, Gongsun Xun helped his son by the river. He couldn't help laughing, but he said it very clearly. "Every generation has its own responsibilities. No matter how bad a father is, he can still give you peace."

The world... This trip means that since you have tied up your hair, you should also get in touch with some practical matters. And the world is not at peace yet. You can't be crowned the crown prince without any military achievements, so you have this responsibility. Go to the place

, just do your work in the field and obey your superiors’ instructions, it’s not your turn to interfere with anything else.”

These words were a bit too straightforward, and the officials and subordinates around him heard the words jump from their eyes. However, after Gongsun Ding nodded carefully, he stopped talking in the snow.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Gongsun Xun said indifferently. "Do you want to hide something from me about your father? As for these people, they are all your elders and friends. At your age, it is not shameful to have any ideas.

"

"My lord, it's like this." Gongsun Ding tried his best to salute when he heard the words. "Before Yuan Shao was defeated, your lord handed over the important matter to Prime Minister Lu and took me privately to see Lu Yu's father, one of your two mentors.

My master, now he has brought me to worship another mentor... Such a move must be to let the villain learn something before leaving. Sir, let alone your responsibilities, you should have some expectations for the villain, right?

?”

"This is natural, don't you understand?" Gongsun Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The villain is really half-understanding this time." Gongsun Ding raised his head and replied seriously. "After all, Duke Zhaolie has been dead for many years, so the villain cannot be taught directly, and although the adults teach by words and deeds, they don't seem to have truly laid out what they want to teach.
To be continued...
