15 Take second place
"The prime minister of the country is the same as the prefect, and his salary is 2,000 stones. And this position is very much watched. If you give it calmly, you may be criticized. It is better to retreat and seek the second best." The king Fu spoke out.
"In this way, you may be the chief minister." Jidu Yin Lou Gui said.
"The prime minister and minister of the country have a salary of only 600 s, which is too little." The princess did not allow it.
"Report to the princes and concubines. The princes and ministers were appointed by the court. If there is no prime minister, the chief secretary can be temporarily appointed and the state affairs will be represented. The salary will be promoted to a thousand stones at the appropriate time, which is nothing wrong." Lou Gui answered again.
"The prime minister of the state has only a chief minister." The princess understood the profound meaning of his words. In this way, he could not only hold the government of a country, but also avoid the suspicion of usurpation. After all, the prime minister of a country needs to be appointed by the court, and the princes and kings have no right to grant it to others on their own.
"Why not be the doctor's order to temporarily manage the national affairs?" Wang Fu then made another statement.
In the palace of princes, one lord is appointed, with a rank of thousands of stones, and the officials of the palace, the officials of the palace, and the officials of the palace should be decided. Then, he will be ordered to temporarily manage the national affairs, so that the suspects of usurpation will be avoided.
"That's great." The Princess nodded and agreed.
Ji State was also a prince. However, he sent his subordinates to neighboring countries and temporarily took over the politics of a country.
Although the two masters of Xin did not say a word, they felt a turbulent heart.
Recalling again, when the Yellow Turban rebelled, he took refuge in the Ji State's princes and kings in the Ji State's Six Kingdoms Pavilion. The key points are obvious. The six countries and Ji State must have a close relationship. As for how close they are, they are not known if they are not a strong official.
After the ministers finished their discussion, the princess asked through the curtain: "Are you two willing to temporarily take the position of Doctorate Order and share the worries of the King of Zhongshan and King of Hejian?"
The two masters of Xin bowed in unison: "My minister, please accept the order."
"Since that's the case, I will go to the Six Kingdoms Hall of Ziyuan with the Right Prime Minister to pay homage to the two kings and take up his post today." The Princess said.
"Here!" The two of them retreated into the side room and waited for the arrival of the Right Prime Minister.
The palace maids presented fragrant tea and cakes, and then they all left. Only two of them sat quietly while they were sitting there. Xinpi said, "Dare you and my brothers, are you and I now ministers of Ji State?"
"That's right." Xin Ping nodded slightly.
"Since he is a minister of King Ji, why are he sent to his neighboring country?" Xin Pi asked again.
Xin Ping replied: "The king and all the kings are relatives of the Han Dynasty. It is also common sense for the country to support each other and human nature."
"What does the king mean?" Xinpi finally asked out his heart.
"Let's see where your subordinates come from." Xin Ping hit the comment.
Xinpi nodded and said, "Brother, I think so too."
Today, we meet in a small court meeting, and there are not many things. Before the middle of the day, the court will be dispersed.
The Right Prime Minister Geng Yong entered the side room and met the two of them. He rode the imperial carriage and entered the prime minister's mansion for lunch.
The host and the host sat down, and the Xin brothers raised their glasses to respect each other. Geng Yong also responded. After the cup, Geng Yong said, "It happened that the road was cut off. The kings repeatedly submitted memorials to ask about national affairs. They all fell into the sea. The Secretary of State said, "The man is short of his own efforts and his own use is not enough. How can he send a vassal state to foreign countries."
At the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Langguan was appointed as the Langzhongling, and was changed to Guangluxun during the reign of Emperor Wu. The posts were uncertain, and there were 5,000 people at most, including the fourth grade of Zhenglang, Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong. The main responsibility was to guard the door and take charge of the chariots and cavalry, and he was also ready for the emperor's consultant to be sent. At first, he was appointed as the son (those who were granted the position of the official position due to the merits of his father and brother) and the candidate (those who had considerable property to be qualified to be appointed). Later, Emperor Wu followed Dong Zhongshu's proposal and ordered the county and state to sponsor Xiaolian as the doctor every year.
The officials of the Han Dynasty often had the opportunity to serve as local officials. They were regarded as an important way to become officials by people at that time.
Such as Jia Xu and Xun You, they were all men, but they all abandoned their official positions and left.
In Guandong, Guanxi rebelled, and thieves rose up. His Majesty was alone in Luoyang for less than a year, and most of the men left. No one even had them. Song Xiao and others could be the governor of a state, which shows how the government changed and how it was withered.
The "Shangshu Ling's Word" mentioned by the Right Prime Minister must refer to the private words of the Shangshu Ling Cao Jie.
Seeing that the Right Prime Minister told the state affairs bluntly, Xin Ping also revealed his thoughts: "After we and the other two have entered the Golden Platform and served in Ji State, we will recognize the king and the king. But if we need it, the Right Prime Minister just keeps orders and does not need to see the outside world."
Geng Yong smiled and said, "It's so good. Both subordinates were taken away from each city. Be sure to defend the territory for the kings."
The two masters of Xin are all resourceful. It can be seen that they can reach the sixth level.
This made me understand: "We will 'guard the territory for the kings'."
In the afternoon, the three of them went to the Ziyuan Six Kingdoms Hall together and met with the two kings of Zhongshan and Hejian. They immediately appointed the position of Langzhongling.
By the way, Liu Bei had already known the blood letter of the alliance of the six kingdoms. Although it was not clear, the facts were better than words. Today, the two kings came to the family. The two kings should know it clearly and be at ease. King Ji sent two people to govern on their behalf, and he had the intention of acquiescing the blood alliance.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance is completed.
So, if the Right Prime Minister only wants something, the two kings will respond. The joy of the two masters of the Xin family will be more certain. The seven countries will have an alliance.
The reason why we chose Zhongshan and Hejian was that the two countries bordered Ji. The Yellow Turban bandits in the territory were scattered and disorderly, and gathered and dispersed. The members were all different from all over the world. Most of them were bandits, not Zhang Jiao's direct lineage. Guo Zu, who was secretly engaging in the musical style with Ji, was rumored to be wandering around Zhongshan.
The two kings only gave the king's orders, official clothes, seals, and other things came out of Ji Kingdom.
When the same car returned to the capital, Zuo Cheng had already chosen a residence for the two of them. He entered the palace again and became the palace envoy.
The entourage was entitled to four hundred stones and was appointed as an envoy under the order of the king.
Although the court had already dispersed, Wang Fu, Henghai Zhonglang General, Guo Prime Minister, Ji Du Yin and others were all there.
"Although most of the Yellow Turbans were trapped in Guangzong, the remaining troops were still widely distributed in Jizhou." Geng Yong opened the way: "You two will go here to fight the thieves first and then calm the people."
Wang Fu also reminded: "The scouts came to report that there were Yellow Turban thieves of all sizes, hiding in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other counties, and Taihang valleys. The number of people varies. Zhang Rao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Que, Qingzhou, had the largest number of troops, or more than 300,000."
Xin Pingsui asked: "Why did the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou go north to Jizhou?"
"I was originally trying to help Zhang Jiao. I was blocked by the Han army in the river. Later, I took advantage of the Liyang camp and other troops to help Changshe, and took the opportunity to cross the river and entered Bohai County. I also plundered our country. I suffered several consecutive defeats and suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Seeing that things were not done, I led my troops westward. I wanted to join forces with the Taihang tribes to counterattack the Han army and lift the siege of Guangzong." Huang Zhong replied.
"Where is the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou today?" Xin Ping asked again.
"May be stationed in Anping." Huang Zhong replied again.
Anping Kingdom is sandwiched between Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom. It is also adjacent to Ji Kingdom.
Xin Ping woke up after this: "The king wants to break the connection between the Yellow Turbans in Qingji Prefectures and defeat the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou in Anping."
"That's right." Right Prime Minister Geng Yong praised: "Zhongzhi is indeed a great talent."
"I am ashamed of being humble and not afraid to take it." After a little contemplation, Xin Jing said: "Although the Yellow Turban is mixed, it is not a mob. The 300,000 chaotic troops are definitely not a result of a battle. It should be the first to slowly plan and the second to disintegration. If you can take it for yourself, you will be the best plan."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.
The right prime minister Geng Yong smiled and sighed: "Zhongzhi's words were inconsistent with the lord. The lord once wrote that if he could conquer 300,000 Qingzhou thieves, he could be organized into the 'Qingzhou soldiers'."
Since he sat down, Xinpi, who had not put a few words, said at this moment: "If the lord gets 300,000 elite soldiers, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"
