Chapter 279
There was not much time, and Zhong Xiu came to the Deyang Hall.
"See the Lord!" Zhong Xiao bowed to Liu Jun and saluted.
"Recently
, it was rumored that Yuan Chang had met with Sima Yi, Cao Cao's messenger, and Sima Yi forwarded a secret letter from Cao Cao to Yuan Chang. Originally, this was normal, but everyone was talking about gold, so let Yuan Chang come to make it clear in person, so as not to let others misunderstand!"
"Master..." Zhong Xiu immediately knelt down when he heard this.
"Yuan Chang doesn't need to panic, get up and speak!" Liu Jun waved his hand to help him, "I believe you, but only if you make it clear in person, will you be exempted from unnecessary suspicion
!" "Lord, Sima Yi has indeed seen me and persuaded me, but since I have already surrendered to the lord, how can I backtrack? Zhong Xiu slowly calmed down.
"Privately
, I used to be only a subordinate of King Wei, not a friend of King Wei, so there is nothing to reminisce. On the Duke, now that I am under the lord's account, I have nothing to do with the King of Wei, so I didn't take it apart.
"Thank
you Lord, but this matter must also be made clear in person, and I am sandwiched between a Book of Poetry, which is on the desk in my study, and the Lord can send someone to fetch it."
"Good!" Liu Hu nodded, feeling that since he wanted to eliminate doubts, he must completely solve the matter, "
Liu Hu Ma Zhong, go to Zhongfu and bring the letter!"
After a while, Liu Hu and Ma Zhong came back and handed the letter to Liu Jun.
Liu Liang looked at it and handed the letter to Ma Liang and Fazheng, "You two take a look, what does Cao Mengde want to say?"
Ma Liang took the letter and opened it, browsed it, and then handed it to Fazheng. After Fa Zheng read it, he gave it to Liu Jun, who put the letter directly on the desk and did not read it.
"Ji Chang, Xiaozhi, what did Cao Mengde say?"
"I didn't say anything, it was all irrelevant words, but..." Ma Liang frowned.
"It's just that
there are many alterations in the letter, I don't know what the erased content is?" Fa Zheng looked at Zhong Xiu as he said these words.
"What was erased?" Zhong Xiu was puzzled, "Master, may you let me see the letter?"
Liu Wei nodded.
Zhong Xiu took the letter and read it carefully, and his face suddenly changed.
"Lord, subordinates may swear that they never opened this letter... "
Master, this matter is indeed strange, someone must have read this letter!" Ma Liang said, "Otherwise, it will not be altered!"
"Could it be Sima Yi?" Zhong Yi thought for a moment and shook his head again, "No, when Sima Yi handed me this letter, it was not opened!"
I saw that many words were indeed written on the letter and erased, as if a child was learning to write.
"Cao Mengde is using a divisive tactic again!" Liu Cong laughed secretly in his heart, in previous history, Cao Cao used such a method to separate Han Sui and Ma Chao, causing the two to turn against each other, and Ma Chao was defeated. Now because of his appearance, history has changed, and Cao Cao did not use this trick for Ma Chao, but used him to himself.
"Ha..." Liu Jun burst out laughing.
"Master..." Zhong Xiu was puzzled, his face showed panic, he wanted to explain, but there was no reasonable reason.
"You don't need to wonder, no one opened this letter before this, this is Cao Cao's plan to dissociate!"
Ma Liang, Fa Zheng, and Zhong Xiu are all wise men, and just now they were a little confused by the authorities, because they unanimously decided that someone had opened it, so they always thought about who opened the letter?
It's a very simple divisive scheme, but if you don't think about it carefully, it's easy to get into the plan!"
"Thank you, Lord..." Zhong Xiu gave Liu Jun a deep salute.
Such a dissociation scheme seems simple, and it is not easy to discern, and the most crucial point is the trust between the lord and the courtier. Without absolute trust, it's hard to tell. Zhong Xiu is a subordinate, but he can get Liu Jun's trust so much, how can he not be grateful?"
"In recent days, you have all worked hard, the date of the accession is approaching, and the various officials and responsibilities in the royal palace must be drawn up urgently!"
"No!" Half
an hour later, many of the heavy ministers under Liu Jun all came to the Deyang Hall.
Regarding the establishment of officials, Liu Jun borrowed from the system of three provinces and six ministries after Wei and Jin, and according to the current needs, only six ministries were set up, and made a division of labor. They are the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Rites. The highest official of each ministry was Shang Shu, who was directly under the orders of Liu Jun, the king of Han.
After nearly an hour of deliberation, the officials of the various ministries were basically determined.
Pang Tong served as Shangshu of the Military Department, Fa Zheng as the Attendant of the Military Department, and Cheng Gongying as the Military Department. The military department has the right to mobilize all soldiers and horses, determine whether to fight externally, which soldiers and generals will participate in the battle, and make detailed plans before the battle.
Ma Liang served as the official shangshu, and Zhong Xiu served as the official attendant. The Ministry of Officials is responsible for selecting and appointing officials from various localities and evaluating them at the same time, and determining whether they are promoted or not based on the results of the evaluation.
Ministry of Works Shangshu Wang Xuan, Ministry of Works Attendant Shi Tao. This was a very important sector, in today's terms, the entire agriculture, commerce and handicrafts were under the control of the Ministry of Industry, and it can be said that he controlled the economic lifeblood of the Han royal palace.
Hube Shangshu Pang Shanmin, and the attendant Meng Jian, were in charge of the population of various places. Liu Jun stipulated that all the population must be registered, and no official or family member was allowed to keep the population private. The anti-people distributed land according to the number of people, the land of the family and the official's family had a certain upper limit, all the ownerless land was returned to the public, under the unified management of the household department, and the military cantonment was carried out, and there could be no abandonment.
Shangshu Yi of the Ministry of Rites is mainly responsible for diplomacy. Liu Jun originally did not plan to go to the Ministry of Rites and classify the Iranian nationality to the Ministry of Officials, but later thought that this stock could not be less.
Xiang Lang was appointed as Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Ma Zhong was appointed as the Attendant of the Criminal Department. The previous Tingweifu was abolished, bandits were arrested, and criminals were interrogated, all of which used to belong to the Tingweifu, Taishou, and County Commandery, and now all belong to the Criminal Department.
In the past, the military and the government were separated, but now Liu Jun will slowly try to achieve judicial independence. The ancients said that the Son of Heaven broke the law and sinned with the common people, which shows that the thinking is very advanced, but it cannot be implemented. Liu Jun created the Criminal Department to let people understand that the law is greater than people.
After these officials were determined, they appointed Jingzhou thorn Shi Liu Ba, Liangzhou thorn Shi Han Sui, Yuzhou thorn Shi Jiang Wan, Jing Zhao Yin Liao Li, and Henan Yin Cui Zhou Ping. Next, Liu Jun specially proposed that the Luoyang Order be served by Ma Tao, and the captain of the city gate should be Li Hu.
Ma Tao and Li Hu were the first to follow Liu Jun, who had limited abilities and could only be petty officials, and Liu Jun transferred them back to Luoyang from Shangyong.
