Authority is like a chronic poison that can become addicted.

If you eat it today, you may not die, but if you eat it for a long time, problems will always occur.

"Cao Zihe is really a talented person!"

When Xun or Liu Ye had just walked outside Chongde Hall, he heard Liu Xie's cheers coming from the hall. He couldn't help but look at each other, and then both of them smiled.

This sentence is like waiting for the two of them to arrive. When they arrive one step late, they may not be able to hear clearly. When they arrive one step early, they may have missed it. Just as it happened, the two of them heard this sentence when they arrived in front of the hall.

Xun Or smiled, just raised the corners of his mouth.

Liu Ye smiled a little bigger, with several teeth exposed, but when Xun or turned his head, the corners of his mouth were raised and fell even more.

Xun and Liu Ye entered the hall under the roll title of Xiaohuangmen, and soon came out again, as if they were saying hello to their leader at work, and then transferred to their jobs.

Outside the palace, a newly built wing room has now become the office of Shangshu Desk.

Liu Xie was happy because Cao Chun won a victory in the expedition against the remnants of Wuhuan's troops the previous month.

Don’t underestimate such a "small" victory, but for the big man, well, it should be more accurate. It is a rare victory for the big man where Liu Xie is located.

When Liu Xie took over the foundation of the Han Dynasty and took over the throne of the emperor, no matter what, the Han Dynasty was still unified at that time, but later it was divided into pieces. All the places established their own mountains, hoping to divide the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty into twenty-six countries.

No matter what the reason is, whether it is Liu Xie or not, Liu Xie sat in this position, so the quality of the Han Dynasty must be calculated on Liu Xie's head. The four words "losing power and humiliating the country" are somewhat disgusting in Liu Xie's heart.

Liu Xie was thinking more than once in his mind, thinking about whether he was staying in Guanzhong back then...

Liu Xie once also had great hope for Cao Cao.

Distance produces beauty.

After all, Cao Cao was a "heavy and righteous" eunuch. Now he wants to serve his master. How can he say that it is not more reassuring than others?

So in the early days, Liu Xie still gave Cao Cao a lot of favor. Basically, whatever Cao Cao said was. Until one day, Liu Xie felt that he had grown up and could make a decision, but Cao Cao rejected it.

Then, there were naturally some different things growing between Liu Xie and Cao Cao.

It is impossible to say that the relationship is bad and the mutual hatred is mutual, but it is natural that there is no such thing as how harmonious it is.

This time, Cao Chun's victory in confronting Wuhuan was actually beyond many people's expectations. To be honest, after the Cavalry sent Zhao Yun to establish the Northern Region Protectorate, although Shandong basically did not recognize this Protectorate in this place, they actually knew in their hearts that Cao Chun could not compare with Zhao Yun in the north.

Some defeats and losses caused by secrets are not mentioned in the court.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Chun achieved results in Beimo, and it seemed that this matter was particularly important.

Even Liu Xie was so happy that he put down his concern for the Cao family, just as a great Han emperor praised the generals of the frontier.

Since Xun or returned to Xu County, Liu Xie asked the Shangshutai to work near Chongde Hall.

Of course, the reason is very legitimate.

Liu Xie said that as the Emperor of Han, how could he not know the affairs of the world?

Moreover, Liu Xie said that he would not interfere in the Shangshutai at will. Everything on the Shangshutai is the same, just changing the place and leaving the palace.

And Liu Xie said that if there is something unknown, you can also ask at any time...

Is there any reason?

Can you refuse?

It seems that there is no reason to refuse.

So Xun and others set up a straw troupe outside the palace.

Anyway, it’s important not to leave the Shangshutai…

Liu Ye followed Xun Or into the wing room of the side hall outside the palace. Then a small official picked up the box and opened the box and distributed the text to the top of the clerk of the Left Wenji of Shangshutai.

Here, in addition to Xun and Liu Ye, there are four other books on the Shangshutai. All the writings are first passed to the place where the four books are left, and then sent to Xun and Liu Ye.

The work of Shu Zuo is actually somewhat similar to reading comprehension. First, read the reported texts all, then mark the key points, and correct some errors. If there is a major error, it is called back and reported again. In this way, Shu Zuo’s work seems a bit irrelevant. After all, any scholar understands reading comprehension, and it is more like just a redundant staff between the upper and lower levels, but it is not.

The lower-ranking people have to tell the process of the matter, and they also have to express their merits. They also need to apply for resources, apply for fee payments, etc., so the writing must be recorded in detail, and they are worried that if they accidentally miss something, such as underreporting a certain fee, do you have to pay for it yourself?

If you don't fill in the pit yourself, the consequences will be even worse.

The superiors have to deal with a lot of things every day, so it is impossible to have time to read each letter in detail, except for Brother Zhu. Of course, Brother Zhu is forced to do that, and Brother Zhu himself is also a pit that Brother Zhu himself dug for himself.

So the effectiveness of these books is reflected, just like a filter, filtering it first, and then putting forward the key points, so that the superiors of the Shangshutai can summarize the main points, extract the key points, and sifting away the mess.

The books Xun Or brought were all veterans, so they processed writing quickly. As the writings were delivered to Xun Or and Liu Ye, Xun Or and Liu Ye gradually entered the busy work.

Liu Ye silently glanced at the writing on hand, then looked up slightly, glanced at Xun Ren, and saw Xun Ren looking at him attentively, so he lowered his head and lifted his pen.

Xun Or didn't know anything, but after Liu Ye lowered his head, Xun Or glanced at Liu Ye slightly.

The two of them said nothing, and they seemed to have said everything.

As time passed quietly, the writings handled by the two people gradually became piles of hills.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly the sound of the little yellow gate sounded outside: "Although the rice dumplings have passed, Your Majesty knows that all the men work hard, so I ordered my servants to prepare meals and fill their stomachs."

With the sound, several eunuchs walked in with food boxes, then went forward to greet Xun Or Liu Ye, and then put out the food and pastries and the like in the food boxes.

Xun smiled and expressed his gratitude to His Majesty for his gifts, and then invited Liu Ye and the rest of the books to share the food.

The pastries given by the emperor are very exquisite and have very little portions. Basically, one person can just have one or two bites. It is basically impossible to eat enough, but the meaning of the representation exceeds the food.

Since the Shangshu Dean moved outside the Chongde Hall, the emperor would occasionally reward some things, including food, small items, silk, silk, brush, ink, paper, etc.

For Xun or Liu Ye, such small favors are nothing, but for the books on Shangshutai, they must be royal grace that can be shown off. Some books will even endure the momentary speed and carefully wrap the pastries they gave them in bu pi and take them home...

Xun may see it, but he still said nothing.

Liu Ye said nothing.

As dusk approached, with the long eunuchs of the Huangmen, the work of the day was almost here. In the wing room, people began to come out one after another, and then saluted Xun or Liu Ye and went home.

Liu Ye also got up and was about to leave, but he heard an eunuch coming to pronounce an order: "Your Majesty invites Liu Shizhong to the palace to answer."

Liu Ye glanced at Xun Or, but Xun Or didn't move as if he didn't hear it.

Liu Ye lowered his head and said, "I will receive the order."

Liu Ye followed the eunuch, walked through the palace gate again, entered Chongde Hall, and kowtowed to the hall first.

"I will be calm and I will be given a seat." Liu Xie's voice was stable.

Liu Ye lowered his head and thanked him, then sat aside.

When Liu Ye came to see Liu Xie before the time to go to the meeting today, he felt some problems, but he was not easy to ask, let alone talk about.

And now...

In fact, there are three major events here as soon as this period of time.

The first thing is to select officials and register officials.

There is no reason why Fei Nan was in Guanzhong and then Shandong was deserted? So Fei Nan organized the examination and selection of officials, and Shandong also organized the selection of officials. Although the Shangshutai was mainly responsible for this matter, officials still had to go through it in Chongde Hall.

This matter is not serious or minor, but it is not easy to say, but there are many people involved. There are more families and tribes who have been eliminated from these people. When there are more people, things will be complicated and they will be involved. In the past, during the period of Emperor Ling of Han, it was common to choose officials from winter to summer, and even for a year.

The second thing is Qiu Fu.

The rented and the classes of each state will be transported to Xu County after the autumn. At the same time, the departments of each state will also enter the annual financial report and check it by Shangshutai, Shaofu, Taicang and other institutions.

Needless to say, this item is also very important.

The third thing is the great victory in Cao Chunyoubei.

Well, it's a "great victory" for the time being.

The three major events of military, personnel and finance are naturally needed to participate deeply.

The emperor's thoughts are actually not difficult to guess.

But the problem is that no matter these three things at present, the emperor will participate.

Xun may be willing to move the Shangshutai outside the palace, just expressing an attitude, but he really wants to let the emperor Liu Xie take the lead...

It depends on whether Lao Cao agrees or not.

"There are many things recently, and my dear friends have worked hard..." said Emperor Liu Xie.

Although it was a condolence or a praise, Liu Ye heard some blame from it.

"It is the duty of a minister to fulfill his responsibilities for the country." Liu Ye lowered his head and reported.

The emperor was not very satisfied with him, and Liu Ye knew this. Liu Ye did nothing in this incident. Perhaps this had touched the red line in the heart of Emperor Liu Xie.

There was a personal grudge between Cao Cao and Kong Rong, but there was more of a dispute over routes and concepts.

Although it can be divided in general, human nature is complex and cannot be determined by either black or white. Just like Xun or an important counselor under Cao Cao, when Emperor Liu Xie said that the Shangshutai would be moved to the front of the palace, Xun or did not object.

Does it mean that Xun may be disloyal to Cao Cao and turned to Emperor Liu Xie?

Not really.

Similarly, Liu Ye is inclined to the royalist, but he is not a stubborn conservative.

Among these conservatives, most people say they are royal, but in fact they protect their own interests...

Therefore, no matter who it is, it is actually complex and colorful, not purely black and white.
To be continued...
