Liu Zheng ignored Yuan Zhou and Zhang Min, and at this time, he began to think about the name Xu Gong in his mind.

He struggled to recall in his own mind where he had heard the name.

Yuan Zhou and Zhang Min saw that Liu Zheng did not speak, and they did not dare to disturb Liu Zheng.

could only stand aside silently, waiting for Liu Zheng to come back to his senses from his thoughts.

And when Liu Zheng tried to recall this name in his mind, it really made him think of something.

Xu Gong.

It seems that the death of the little overlord Sun Ce was assassinated by several assassins under Xu Gongmen.

Because he killed the little overlord Sun Ce, Xu Gong's three disciples are quite famous.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Gong, who was not famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, became famous.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng also had some impressions of this Xu Gong.

Liu Zheng, who likes the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, has deliberately looked for these famous generals before, and how did he die in the end.

That's why I remember that there is such a person as Xu Gong.

Speaking of which, this Xu Gong can be regarded as unlucky.

He was originally from Yuzhou, and in order to escape the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, he fled from Yuzhou to Yangzhou. As a small lieutenant in Wu County.

Later, after Wu Jun Taishou Sheng Xian resigned because of illness, Xu Gong mixed up with the post of Wu County Taishou, and then wanted to kill Sheng Xian in order to eliminate some of Sheng Xian's old forces in Wu County, but it was unsuccessful, but it was bad for Sun Ce's attack.

In Jiangdong, no one is Sun Ce's opponent, and Xu Gong is naturally no exception, after being defeated by Sun Ce, he hurriedly fled to join Yan Baihu.

Relying on Yan Baihu, he reluctantly confronted Sun Ce, but Xu Gong was a thief, and he was secretly trying to trip Sun Ce, but Sun Ce knew about it.

Just kill this guy.

After Xu Gong's death, he still had some brothers, taking advantage of Sun Ce's hunting, suddenly launched an attack, shot Sun Ce, and died of illness not long after.

In the past, Liu Zheng was not very impressed with Xu Gong, so even if Xu Gong took refuge under his command, Liu Zheng didn't remember this person too much.

"Who is in charge of the money village in Changsha County? Who introduced this Xu Gong? ”

Although Xu Gong fled, Liu Zheng didn't plan to leave it at that.

"Back to Your Majesty, Changsha County is in charge of Lord Xu You, the first assistant of the cabinet. This Xu Gong was also introduced by Lord Xu You. ”

"I heard that Xu Gong is a fellow villager of Lord Xu You, Xu Gong sent a lot of money to Xu You, and won the trust of Lord Xu You, so Lord Xu You introduced Xu Gong to Changsha County to take charge of the money village instead of himself."

"Xu You!"

As soon as Yuan Zhou said that the person who would promote Xu Gong, Liu Zheng's face immediately sank.

Liu Zheng never thought that this person was actually recommended by Xu You, but he was right to think about it, Xu Gong is of the same clan as Xu You after all, if Liu Zheng remembers correctly, this Xu Gong seems to be from Yuzhou, and Xu You has a bit of a clan relationship.

Xu You.

Liu Zheng didn't want to believe that Xu You would do such a thing.

After all, speaking of which, Xu You was also the first strategist to follow Liu Zheng.

For Xu You, Liu Zheng still has a bit of weight, after all, when he was in the Yellow Turban Army, Xu You gave him advice and made a lot of efforts, and when he attacked Luoyang, it was Xu You who blocked the Tiger Prison Pass to help him buy time.

To say, now Liu Zheng does not despise Xu You, money and wealth are constantly rewarded, he knows that Xu You is good money, so he will never be stingy with rewards.

Speaking of power, the four major auxiliary ministers of the cabinet have the highest status, known as the first assistant, and the power of some places is higher than the position of Yuan Zhou, the prime minister.

For such treatment, under Liu Zheng's command, there is absolutely no second one.

But even so, there is still such a thing.

Although this matter may not have anything to do with Xu You, but there is a problem with Xu Gong who he recommended, this will have some joint and several responsibilities, and at the lightest is a sin that does not know people.

Liu Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head, glanced at Yuan Zhou, and asked a question for a long time.

"Does Xu You have anything to do with this matter?"

"It's not clear for the time being, after all, our people haven't found out that Lord Xu Yu has anything to do with this matter."

When Yuan Zhou saw Liu Zheng say this, he didn't dare to say anything affirmative, so he could only say that he hadn't investigated it clearly for the time being.

"Check! Check it out for me! Zhang Min, you immediately send your brocade guards to arrest that Xu Gong for me, even if it is three feet into the ground, you must find him out for me! ”

Obviously, this incident gave Liu Zheng a lot of anger, and if he didn't investigate this matter clearly, then Liu Zheng couldn't sit still.

After all, it was originally just a small matter of losing money, but after this matter involved Xu You, the matter was far from being as simple as a farce of losing money and the river demon.

Liu Zheng himself actually understands that his team has been mixed with some unclean rat feces.

These rat droppings are slowly starting to corrupt his camp.

This is also unavoidable, after all, the cronyism method of material selection, after the team gradually settles down, will begin to have some drawbacks.

Some people who are not pure-minded often start a struggle for power, even corruption, and gradually lose themselves after the world gradually becomes peaceful.

The fall of every empire is not caused by external causes, but by internal turmoil.

If Liu Zheng hadn't been crowned emperor, many people would have struggled for a common goal and dedicated their strength.

But when Liu Zheng became the emperor, those who were in high positions would not work hard to unify the world, they wanted more to be content with the status quo, after all, what they wanted had already been obtained.

It is nothing more than a high-ranking official and a wife.

Liu Zheng has already given them these things, and it is not beneficial for them to unify the world.

Except for a few people who have ambition and strength and want to continue to promote through war, some other civilian officials have reached the peak of their lives.

No matter how high it is, it can't be high, and they can't be expected to be crowned kings and prime ministers.

Liu Zheng also thought about these things, and thought that there would be some traitors in his team, but he didn't expect these things to happen so quickly.

Less than a year after he became emperor, some corrupt elements appeared.

So he had to investigate the matter thoroughly, and build the embankment while the anthill was still growing.

Can't let the Qianli Jiangti that he built with great difficulty collapse in the anthill.

Zhang Min was ordered to go down and personally led people to track down Xu Gong's whereabouts.

Liu Zheng glanced at Yuan Zhou.

"Yuan Zhou, you take a few more clever Jinyi guards, stare at Xu You, and if he makes any changes, he will be arrested directly to see me."

Yuan Zhou nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister got it. ”
