The preparations in the hall have started yesterday. After a short rest in the afternoon, the officials from Chang'an came one after another.

Now the Han official system has been changed. In addition to retaining the old three-month system, there are also prime ministers left and right, divided by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, with the position of three dukes, but if you really say power, it is higher than three dukes. Although the Han Dynasty now has the position of three dukes, there is no three dukes yet. This time, Liu Bei summoned all the ministers to return to the court, and he also used this great victory to set the position of three dukes.

As for whom he was appointed as the Three Dukes, this question is also what the ministers are concerned about now. The current structure of the Han Dynasty and the most core group of people have not changed in so many years. It is estimated that they have to be selected from these people. Of course, they will not be able to only take care of the elderly. At least one of the three Dukes must be selected by the Jingshu gentry to be the ones who are highly respected.

When the ministers saw Liu Yi and the other two here, they came to visit each other. No matter whether they were sincere or false, at least when they met, they were humble and respectful. Liu Yi and the other two responded one by one, and some familiar ones would chat with each other.

"Brother Bo Yuan, I offended many times before, but it was a business matter. I have no choice but to be a subordinate. I hope Brother Bo Yuan should not blame him." Li Yan walked up as if nothing had happened and smiled at Liu Yi and said.

Li Yan obviously wanted to use the rules to stumbling Liu Yi to take advantage of the rules. Unfortunately, Cao Xiu was defeated too quickly, and Liu Feng directly opened a warehouse to support him. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to cheat Liu Yi, but in the end he failed. Instead, the relationship between the two completely deteriorated. Now he was just about to tear him apart.

"It's okay, everyone is doing things for the country. I believe that Brother Zhengfang will not come to harm me on purpose." Liu Yi nodded with a smile, as if he didn't mind.

"Then I'll feel relieved." Li Yan smiled and said, "The banquet is about to begin, why not go together?"

"No, you and I... are different paths." Liu Yi shook his head and looked at Li Yan with a smile.

The smile on his face appeared in a moment of embarrassment. There was only one way to the main hall. How could it be different? Liu Yi obviously refused to walk with him. Most of the people who came to visit him could feel that the atmosphere in the pavilion became a little subtle, and some people had retreated silently.

Li Yanlun's status is not inferior to Liu Yi, and he is also a trusted person around Liu Bei. He is one of the three ministers who have a high voice this time. Although Liu Yi said this with a smile, it is equivalent to a slap in the face.

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye and see you later." The embarrassment on his face flashed, and even to others, nothing happened. Li Yan smiled naturally and said goodbye to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in a friendly manner before turning around and leaving.

"Zhengfang is a man with good abilities, but it's a pity..." Zhuge Liang looked at the direction where Li Yan left, shook his head and sighed. At the beginning, when Fa Zheng was still alive, Li Yan was the one who could discuss policies with them around Liu Bei, but with Fa Zheng's death, in recent years, Li Yan has gradually been marginalized in this core circle and even kicked out of this circle.

This is not the reason for Liu Yi. Liu Yi has been traveling abroad over the years and rarely returns to the North Korea. When Liu Bei was carrying the Qing Dynasty, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong would not be targeted at Li Yan rashly because of this, so as not to leave an excuse to form a clique. The real reason why Li Yan was gradually marginalized was himself.

He likes to show off his cleverness and is considered a villain, but compared to a villain, he disdains to be with him and has his own aloofness. In this way, it means that neither side is reliable. As a result, the people on Liu Yi are a little bit disdainful of him. As for others... he disdained to guess the best intentions and even disdained flattery. Originally, with his talent, it was no less than Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but he took his own path narrower and narrower.

"This person is narrow-minded. Bo Yuan is so blind to him, so you have to be careful." Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile.

"Even if this is not the case, I have to be careful." Liu Yi smiled. If Li Yan didn't provoke him, Liu Yi wouldn't have been unable to give him a chance. However, the two of them had no grudges at first, but Li Yan always couldn't get along with him. This time he wanted to cheat himself. Liu Yiruo still looked like a good man, which would make people feel that he was easy to bully.

In fact, Liu Yi could probably guess that Li Yan was the closest figure to the peak of power except for Liu Yi, but he happened to be stuck at the peak. No one quitted, so he could only be stuck here all the time. Among this group of people, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were Liu Bei's right-hand man, and often helped Liu Bei with advice and national policies. Liu Yi was outside all year round and did not have much foundation in the court. As for Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, although his friendship was good, he would not help easily and had a high position, but he was also suspicious. If the two took action, they would be suspected of forming a clique. As the thing the monarch was most reluctant to see, it was precisely because he saw this clearly that Li Yan dared to stumbling over Liu Yi again and again.

Of course, this is also the reason why he gradually left the core decision-making level. Fa Zheng was actually not popular in the court at that time, but Fa Zheng's starting point was different from Li Yan. Fa Zheng was vengeful and I would deal with you. In major events, he started with the interests of the country and would not abolish the public for personal gain. However, Li Yan was the kind who could ignore the interests of the country for personal gain. It seemed the same, but in fact it was very different.

Who is Liu Bei? He lived his whole life and may not be as good as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but he is very accurate in judging people and is quite sensitive to such interpersonal relationships. If you want to use these methods in front of him, you can only say that you have used the wrong place.

Liu Yi will not deal with Li Yan now because he knew that unless he used external tricks, Liu Bei could not really do anything to Li Yan. Liu Bei wanted to use this person's talent, just like Liu Bei would not do anything to Liu Yi because of Li Yan's few words. This is also a kind of balance.

As long as Liu Bei is here, Li Yan will not have any trouble, and Liu Yi will not have any trouble, so Liu Yi will not do these useless efforts, but if he really meets him, Liu Yi will not spoil him. He will fight when he should, and clean up when he should. If one day, Liu Bei is gone, that will be the time when the two of them are at a loss.

"It's almost time, let's enter the hall." After looking at the direction of the hall, Liu Yi stood up and smiled.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong nodded, stood up, and the five of them headed towards the hall together.

After entering the hall, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai left each. The place was of distinct hierarchy. Even the two were disciples of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and they could not follow Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong into their circle.

In the hall, all the civil and military officials have almost arrived. Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Dong He, Wu Yi, many people who have not seen each other for many years are in the court at this moment. At this moment, you can also feel the number of talents of the Han Dynasty.

The tables have been set up in the hall. In this place, it is the place where the most hierarchy and rules are paid attention to. If you sit in the wrong position, you will probably lose your career. For example, the heads of civil and military affairs such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Yi, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are naturally sitting closest to Liu Bei. The second is Li Yan, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Zhang Ren, Chen Dao, Wu Yi, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao. Sitting in turn to find your position is the first thing to learn, no matter which country you put it in.

If we talk to each other in groups of three or three, it may not be the same as each other. After all, such seats cannot be gathered together. Most of them are chatting between two or three tables adjacent to each other. The banquets of the man have always been like this.

"Mr. Mo has not been in the court for many years. This time, Your Majesty holds a banquet, you and I will have some good drinks later." Wu Yi sat at Liu Yi's attack and smiled and talked to Liu Yi about some interesting things in the court over the years.

As a surrendered general, Wu Yi is not only relying on his sister but also family affairs. The most important thing is his success in life. Although Wu is favored, Empress Mi and Liu Bei are married to trouble. Although he is old now, no one can shake the status of the palace. Even if Liu Bei is thoughtful, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not agree. Mrs. Wu is also sensible and did not act evil. Instead, she is close to Mrs. Mi to help Liu Bei manage the queen. The palace, the brother and sister are both of who are good at being a human being and not very ambitious. In addition, Wu Yi himself has certain abilities, so this position is quite stable.

"Okay." Liu Yi smiled and nodded, talking to Wu Yi about some customs and experiences in southern Xinjiang. Occasionally, Liu Ba behind him would interrupt and ask questions. He seemed to be more interested in these things than Wu Yi. However, Liu Ba always felt a bit unique in the court. He didn't like to communicate with others too much. Even if he was interested, he just asked a question and stopped talking.

Not long after, Liu Bei brought Liu Chan out, and the prince's behavior was not bad, at least not as Liu Yi remembered. However, Liu Yi has been away for many years and does not know much about the prince's temperament and is not easy to comment. After all, superficial kung fu is not uncommon, so who knows what the prince's advantage is in private?

The banquet was mainly to celebrate the great victory in Guanzhong. As for official business, Liu Bei did not talk about it. During the banquet, someone sang a few poems while drinking. Pang Tong leaned closer to Liu Yi and asked with a smile: "Don't Bo Yuan show his skills?"

Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong, shook his head and said, "It's been abandoned."

I have memorized the poems I have not remembered in my previous life over the years. Simpler ones such as hoeing on the day and the afternoon are not suitable for this time, so don’t show your feet.

At that time, I thought that the poem was quite elegant, but now when I look back, Liu Yi was a little lucky that he did not leave a reputation in this area back then, otherwise... I guess there would be no guarantee of the product now.

"It's a pity that Bo Yuan's verses are unique. If they develop in this direction, maybe there is no need to be the father and son of the Cao family." Pang Tongyi said with regret.
