The Three Kingdoms

In the silence, footsteps came and went.

In the side hall, Xun Yu was wearing an official robe and was taking the position. He was flipping through the dozens of files on the desk with both hands. He read them very carefully. These are the top secret files of the cabinet. Minister, otherwise no one will read it.

Xun Yu spent more than a month reading these files carefully to gain an in-depth understanding of the various systems of the imperial court.

The content of these files gave him a deeper understanding of the official system of the Great Wu court, as well as the current system of local management in the territory of the Great Wu.

"The official management system of the Great Wu Dynasty has begun to be close to perfection!"

Xun Yu's eyesight can naturally see that the current bureaucratic system of the Wu Dynasty is more perfect than that of Cao Wei and the previous dynasty. He said with some admiration and reverence: "Your Majesty is not only a master of pioneering, but also a master of success. He is invincible when it comes to expanding the territory, and when it comes to governing the world, he is even more unique, I have to admire him!"

He had to admit that Sun Quan was a qualified monarch.

"Hehe, when I first entered the cabinet, after I came into contact with these materials, I thought the same in my heart!"

Zhong Yao sat across from Xun Yu, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Since the reform of the year, the imperial court has abandoned the management system of the previous dynasty. Under the circumstances, the imperial court has completed the policy of separating civil and military powers in the world. Local officials and military power are managed separately. Local management cannot mobilize troops in the army, and military generals cannot order local officials. In this way, even if there is a civil strife in Great Wu this time, there will be very few turmoil and rebellion in various places, and no local officials will be affected by this incident at all. In addition, the loopholes in the central government and local management have also begun to gradually improve."

He was the vanguard of Xun Yu's entry into the cabinet.

It is also the pillar of the current Cao Wei system above the imperial court.

"The Great Wu Dynasty has lived up to my expectations. This is a vigorous court. Once this crisis is successfully overcome, it will develop by leaps and bounds in the future, and will bring true peace and prosperity to the people of the world!"

Xun Yu said softly.

When he came back this time, he put away his old ambitions once again, and went to the world's stage. Naturally, he also showed his skills. The platform of Great Wu Dynasty did not disappoint him, and it would be a good place for him to show his full potential.

"That's what I thought too, so I have already given up on the so-called thoughts of restoring the country over the years!" Zhong Yao said softly.

"Recovery?"

Xun Yu shook his head when he heard that, "I don't have such thoughts either!"

The two looked at each other and smiled one after another, everything was silent.

"Wen Ruo, do you know about Zhang Zhao's counterattack?" Zhong Yao asked.

"Ok!"

Xun Yu nodded, thinking of Zhang Zhao, he could not help but sneer sharply: "Zhang Zibu has been in charge of the Great Wu court for many years, so naturally he should not be underestimated, but under the current situation, he should have nothing to do. Doing it is the best policy. In order to maintain the influence of the Jiangdong Department in the court, he dared to force His Majesty. He is doing more and more dead, and will even wipe out His Majesty's guilt towards him. I am not worried about him. His abdication is inevitable. However, it is undeniable that once the power of the Jiangdong faction breaks out, once they join forces to suppress me, whether I can become the chief minister of the cabinet will become a big problem!"

He has only one goal of returning to the court this time, the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Zhu Zhi is an old minister, and also the confidant of His Majesty back then. He is different from Zhang Zhao. His position has always been firm, so if he chooses to join forces with Zhang Zhao, it will indeed have a great impact on us!"

Zhong Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a helpless light flickered in his eyes: "In the final analysis, our Cao Wei family's influence in the court is not enough. If one more person enters the court council, the situation will be different!"

The position of the thirteen court councilors is the key.

But at present, in the entire Cao Wei family, only Zhong Yao barely entered the court council, ranking last among the thirteen seats.

"Take it easy!"

Xun Yu's voice was calm and confident: "We still have a chance!"

"It's better to take a step back!"

Zhong Yao said: "If we don't confront Zhu Zhi head-on, maybe we can get some support!"

"Can't go back!"

Xun Yu shook his head. Zhong Yao was quite capable, but he lacked a little perspective on the overall situation. He put down the file in his hand and said in a deep tone: "Yuan Chang, what you saw is only the layout of the court, the balance and compromise between factions. , but you have forgotten that it is His Majesty who sits on the throne. His Majesty has a strong temper, especially at this time, and he cannot tolerate anyone provoking his majesty. On the other hand, he will lose His Majesty's trust in him, and I, if I choose to compromise, I will also lose His Majesty's trust in me, I am different from them, I must gain His Majesty's unconditional trust if I stand in the court!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully!" Zhong Yao said softly.

"This is a tough battle, we must face it head on!"

Under Xun Yu's elegant demeanor, a fierce aura erupted.

"But the Jiangdong faction is deeply rooted after all!" Zhong Yao was still a little worried.

"There is no turning back when we shoot the bow. We don't want to admit defeat. Even if anyone stands in front of us, we will rush over. They are deeply rooted in Jiangdong, so I will uproot them!"

The corner of Xun Yu's mouth raised a sneer as sharp as a blade. The old Wang Zuozhi who stood above the Cao Wei Dynasty and pointed out the country came back: "Since Your Majesty trusts me, I must be worthy of his trust, solve his difficulties, and solve his problems." worry!"

[Chapter 580 of the main text, big reshuffle four]

At this time, it was on another side hall of the cabinet.

As the second minister in the cabinet, Zhu Zhi, the second assistant whose status and power is only lower than the first assistant, is also caught in a very difficult decision at this moment.

He was tempted by the bait that Zhang Zhao threw out.

But he also knew very well in his heart that once he accepted Zhang Zhao's help, he would stand on Zhang Zhao's side, and even provoke Sun Quan's displeasure.

For him, as long as many things involved Sun Quan's trust in him, he would give up without hesitation.

But this thing is different.

Over the years, Zhu Zhi has been staring at the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet for not a day or two. If he can't ask for it, he will become a demon. If he can't grasp such a great opportunity, he will miss this position, and he will never be able to touch it for the rest of his life. It's here.

So his mood is really messed up now.

"Senior Master!"

Above the entrance of the main hall, Kuai Yue wore a plain white robe with white belts on his arms, holding a few papers in his hands, walked in, and bowed his hands to Zhu Zhi.

"Yidu, brother Zirou has just been buried, you can rest at the house for a few more days, so you don't have to deal with the cabinet's government affairs in such a hurry?" Zhu Zhi raised his head, glanced at Kuai Yue, and said in a deep voice.

Kuai Liang's death was not only a major loss for the Chu family, but also had a great impact on the current tense situation.

For Zhu Zhi, the impact is not small.

"Master Cifu, my subordinates are fine. Now that the cabinet is troubled by internal and external troubles, how can I abolish the government for personal reasons!" Kuai Yue's face was calm, and the sadness in his expression was well hidden.

Elder brother can obviously provide for the rest of his life.

As long as he leaves the imperial court and returns to the fiefdom, His Majesty will more or less appreciate his daily contributions and not kill them all.

But the brother died in the end.

Kuai Yue naturally knew why his elder brother died, so no matter how sad he is at this moment, he can't show it to outsiders, and he must not fail to live up to his elder brother's expectations of him.

"Internal and external troubles?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi smiled wryly: "Yidu, you are serious. Although there is some confusion in the cabinet, it is not so serious!"

The imperial court performs its own duties. Under the operation of the eight ministries, the cabinet is considered to be chaotic. It is only the chaos caused by the power game. There is no flaw in the system. , not yet.
