Chapter 183 Su Yu Becomes One of the Nine Ministers? The Best Job for Slacking Off at Work is a Quie
荀府
Xun Yu and Su Yu were discussing Xun You's mental illness here.
Seeing Xun Yu's haggard appearance, Su Yu felt a pang of heartache.
He grabbed Xun Yu's arm and asked:
"How could Wenruo be so careless with her health?!"
"Even when you're busy with official duties, you should still get plenty of rest."
"After all, there's never a complete end to dealing with government affairs."
"The mountain of official business will still need to be dealt with after you've rested."
"But if your health fails, the affairs of state will have to be handed over to someone else!"
Xun Yu: “???”
For some reason, after being persuaded by Su Yu, Xun Yu suddenly felt an urge to take a white silk ribbon and hang himself!
Coincidentally, Xun You's confiscated white silk ribbon was still on Xun Yu's desk in his study.
Making the most of resources doesn't mean wasting them.
"Bah bah bah!"
"Die my ass!"
Xun Yu glared fiercely at Su Yu.
None of these people are serious.
But right now, Xun Yu has no other choice but to ask Su Yu for help.
Although Su Yu had already written in his previous reply how to help Xun You get out of his current situation.
However, it would be more effective for Su Yu to personally discuss such matters with Xun You in order to move Xun You.
So, at Xun Yu's request, Su Yu and Xun You met in the study.
Upon seeing the confiscated white silk ribbon on Xun Yu's study desk, Xun You rushed over and stuffed it back into his pocket.
This scene made Su Yu's eyelids twitch.
"You unfilial nephew!"
"Put down that white silk ribbon!"
Xun Yu once again took the white silk ribbon out of Xun You's pocket.
Confiscated!
Seeing Xun Yu's exasperated expression, Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Having a rebellious nephew in the family is a real problem for Xun Yu!
Xun Yu did not participate in the conversation between Su Yu and Xun You that followed.
But an hour later, Xun You stormed out of the study in a rage.
I found paper and pen and couldn't wait to start sketching on them.
"Gongda, what's going on...?"
Xun Yu was worried that Xun You had lost his mind, so he quickly went forward to check on him.
Xun You then wrote several large characters on the top of the paper:
"A strategy to destroy Yuan Shu!"
Xun Yu: ? ? ?
Subsequently, Xun You wrote down "a strategy to destroy Yuan Shao" on another piece of paper.
"This……"
"Is Gongda really alright?"
Xun Yu asked Su Yu in a low voice,
Su Yu waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, Wenruo."
"Gongda has finally seen the light."
In fact, Su Yu really did guide Xun You onto the right path.
The historical Xun You once wrote a famous book on military strategy called "Twelve Extraordinary Strategies".
To put it nicely, this thing is called a book of military strategy.
To put it bluntly, it's called "Twelve Strategies to Destroy Yuan Shikai".
Unfortunately, Xun You never married.
After his death, he entrusted this military treatise to Zhong Hui's father, Zhong Yao.
When Zhong Yao moved, his military treatise was unfortunately destroyed in the fire.
Because it was a unique copy with no other handwritten versions, it was not passed down to later generations and is only mentioned in the genealogies of the Xun and Zhong families.
As to who in the original history guided Xun You to seek revenge against the Yuan family, it is not important.
Perhaps Xun You figured it out himself; who knows?
Anyway, from now on, that melancholic version of Xun You is gone.
Instead, a vengeful version of Xun You was formed, targeting the Yuan family!
……
Imperial Palace
Liu Xie, dressed in a dragon robe, sat upright in the center of the main hall.
Looking at the assembled court officials below him, Liu Xie's face showed considerable satisfaction.
It's as if the Han Dynasty has been revived; that vibrant, flourishing scene of all things thriving is still vivid in my mind!
suddenly.
Yang Biao, a veteran official of three reigns, who had specially traveled from Chang'an to follow Liu Xie after learning of his arrival in Xuchang, strode forward and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, I have a matter to report."
Liu Xie had a good impression of Yang Biao.
After all, he was the first Han dynasty official to receive the news and come to him to pledge allegiance.
Liu Xie stretched out his hand and said gently:
"Please speak freely, Yang Aiqing."
Yang Biao smiled slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, the meritorious officials who saved your life in time have not yet been promoted."
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you reward the meritorious officials and set an example for all your ministers."
Liu Xie suddenly realized.
Yang Biao's reminder was very timely!
Dong Cheng puffed out his chest, while Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged.
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao first and said:
"Minister Cao has rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor. How about you be appointed as the Grand General?"
Cao Cao refused without hesitation:
“To save the emperor is my duty.”
"I dare not presume to offer rewards for matters that are within my duty."
"I beg Your Majesty to select another talented person to serve as Grand General. I am terrified that I am not up to the task."
Liu Xie tried to persuade him again, but Cao Cao still refused.
Afterwards, Liu Xie proposed various official positions, including General of Chariots and Cavalry, General of the Flying Cavalry, Grand Commandant, and Minister of Works, but Cao Cao rejected them all.
Cao Cao only reluctantly accepted the position of Minister of Works, the lowest of the Three Dukes.
Dong Cheng, standing to the side, was screaming wildly in his heart.
What the hell!
Cao Cao doesn't want it, so give it to me!
But Liu Xie wasn't stupid.
Being unworthy of one's position is the most taboo thing, bar none.
Dong Cheng has absolutely no real power right now!
To become a great general? To become one of the Three Dukes?
Let's talk about it when we have the strength.
Moreover, even Cao Cao was only the lowest of the Three Dukes, the Minister of Works.
What kind of position do you, Dong Cheng, hold?
So, Dong Cheng was unhappy and promoted to a high-ranking official position, Guanglu Xun, which was equivalent to one of the Nine Ministers.
Then came a series of civil and military officials under Cao Cao's command.
When Su Yu was mentioned, Liu Xie originally wanted to appoint him as Minister of the Imperial Secretariat.
But Su Yu immediately refused.
What is the position of Shangshu Ling?
If the prime minister does not appear, the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat will act as prime minister.
In other words.
The Minister of State Affairs was in charge of handling government affairs on behalf of the Prime Minister, and could be described as a super-powerful, nuclear-powered ox or horse.
Would Su Yu really want this?
The previous Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was none other than Li Ru!
Su Yu decisively stepped down and recommended Xun Yu.
Thus, Xun Yu was successfully selected as the busiest ox or horse in the Han Dynasty, without exception.
What official position should be given to Su Yu?
Liu Xie said a lot, but Su Yu rejected it all.
The reason for the refusal is actually quite simple: these are not easy jobs, so what would I do with them?
Besides, am I a proper Han official?
I am definitely Cao Cao's number one treacherous minister!
What good is it for me to have the status of a Han official?
In the end, it was Cao Cao who suggested to Liu Xie that Su Yu be given a sinecure.
One of the Nine Ministers, the Commandant of the Guards!
Another title is Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard.
It's the easiest kind of slacking-off job.
From then on, Su Yu would go there every few days to clock in and then pick up Consort Dong Wan from the mansion; this was his work assignment.
In addition, Su Yu was granted an additional two thousand households as a fief.
Su Yu readily accepted this offer.
But the uproar caused by the official position was only just beginning.
Xun Chen was rushing from Ye City to Xuchang to demand an official position from Liu Xie on behalf of Yuan Shao.
