In fact, Cao Liang has long arranged for Xiahou Xuan, and is currently serving as the governor of the rebel capital, the prime minister and all the military and government affairs of Youzhou Erzhou, in fact, for Cao Liang, the focus of his work has always been on the military, he will be fighting for most of the year, and he has no skills, and in terms of political affairs, he can only rely on the history of the state and Youzhou.

And the merger state and Youzhou each have their own history of governance, and they do not govern each other, so that some of them do their own things in political affairs, and now Cao Liang only has two states at hand, maybe it seems that the problem is not big, if there is something to coordinate between the two states, maybe it can be solved, and if it can't be solved, Cao Liang has to come forward.

However, as the states continue to expand, the territory they occupy will become larger and larger, and the population they rule will also increase, and if the state affairs continue to go their own way, there will definitely be problems in the future.

At this time, I am afraid that it is time to consider establishing an institution similar to Shangshutai to manage the military and political affairs of the area under its jurisdiction in a unified manner, which will be conducive to the expansion and development of Cao Liang's power, and from a long-term perspective, this is necessary, this is necessary.

Of course, you can't use the name Shangshutai, otherwise the world will think that Cao Liang is setting up a separate court and intending to rebel, so Cao Liang deliberately named it Lantai Pavilion, and he will personally serve as the head of the cabinet, and this cabinet will also become the power center of Youzhou.

As for the members of the cabinet, Cao Liang is almost looking for it, but there is a lack of a person with outstanding ability and high morality to sit in the second seat, and he will also be fully responsible for the operation of the Lantai Pavilion when Cao Liang goes out.

And the arrival of Xiahou Xuan just allowed Cao Liang to fill this gap, Xiahou Xuan served as a central protector in the Chinese army, served as the governor of Yongliang in the local area, and after returning to Luoyang, he also served as a high-ranking Taichang, whether in terms of ability or prestige, he is a suitable candidate.

However, Cao Liang did not directly hand over this position to him, but asked him to travel and inspect the situation in Bingzhou and Youzhou on the spot, and fully understand the military and civilian conditions in the jurisdiction.

Cao Liang's team assigned to him is also carefully selected, some of them are engaged in Hezuo, and will go to Lantai Pavilion to take up their corresponding positions, Cao Liang on the one hand also let them know the situation in various places, on the other hand, it can be regarded as letting them run in in advance, so as to facilitate their future cooperation.

This will be a completely new organization, the initial members of the four people: Cao Liang, Huan Fan, Xiahou Xuan, Wang Ji, Cao Liang is the chief, the other three are second, specifically Huan Fan to serve as the record order, Xiahou Xuan as the peace order, Wang Ji as the secretary order, the four people form a supreme decision-making body, under which there are a number of practitioners and assistants to assist.

And Huan Fan concurrently serves as a military advisor, and Wang Ji concurrently serves as the assassin of Bingzhou, so in the Lantai Pavilion, only Xiahou Xuan is really full-time, Cao Liang is entrusted with an important task to him, and Xiahou Xuan will also be fully responsible for the affairs of the Lantai Pavilion.

Xiahou Xuan's original intention was just to seek the guard of a county, but Cao Liang thought that it was overkill, with Xiahou Xuan's talent, it was enough to be similar to a position like Xiangguo, although the peace order was only the third in the cabinet, but he was to preside over daily affairs, and all the table documents would be handled by Xiahou Xuan, with great power, and only when major affairs occurred, it would be handled by four people.

Of course, as the chief of the cabinet and the rebellious governor, Cao Liang still has the highest power, which is beyond doubt.

After Xiahou Xuan heard about Cao Liang's arrangement, sweat broke out slightly on his forehead, he never expected that Cao Liang would rely on him so much that he would arrange such a position for him.

"Ziming, I am deeply loved, I am afraid I can't afford such a heavy position, I am afraid I will lose your high hopes."

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Tai Chu, you are originally a pillar of the country, but you don't have the opportunity to display your ambitions, with your talents, you are enough to be qualified for this position, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Xiahou Xuan got up and bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "If the lord does not give up, Xuan will be the liver and brain, and he will never give up!" ”

Cao Liang was about to help each other, but saw Huan Fan hurriedly entering, and said: "Lord, the news that has just come from Luoyang, Sima Shi abolished the emperor and set up another one, and changed the Yuan Zhengyuan, such a big rebellious move is the best opportunity for us to send troops to fight." ”

Cao Liang was not surprised, after all, this was completely expected, whether from a historical point of view, or from a practical point of view, it was completely imperative for Sima Shi to abolish the emperor, from the beginning of Li Feng and Zhang Ji's mutiny, Cao Fang's throne was already unstable.

Xiahou Xuanzhi's face changed greatly when he heard this, after he arrived in Bingzhou, he had been traveling, and he didn't care too much about the situation in Luoyang, but the news that came back only said that Li Feng, Zhang Ji and others were all killed by Sima Shi, but there was no movement to abolish the emperor, after such a long time, Xiahou Xuan also knew that Sima Shi would not abolish the emperor in the face of the world's disapproval.

But obviously Xiahou Xuan still underestimated Sima Shi's ambitions, and when dealing with political enemies, Sima Shi completely showed his cold-blooded and cruel side, even if Cao Fanggui was the Son of Heaven, but once he became Sima Shi's enemy, Sima Shi would still not hesitate to defeat him.

In this world, there is no one who can stop Sima Shi's ambitions, he can abolish the emperor today and set up another one, and tomorrow he may dare to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, Sima Shi has completely gone to the point of no return.

Xiahou Xuan secretly sighed, after all, they were the ones who harmed Cao Fang, if it weren't for Li Feng and Zhang Ji's mutiny, it would not have led to Sima Shi's abolition of the emperor, and he had also participated in Li Feng and Zhang Ji's conspiracy, so in the final analysis, Xiahou Xuan also felt that he was also responsible for Cao Fang's abolition.

Cao Liang could see that Xiahou Xuan's mood was a little low, so he said with relief: "Brother Taichu, you don't have to blame yourself, Sima Shi is ambitious, and now abolishing the emperor and establishing another is just his initial action, his ultimate goal is to usurp the country and stand on his own. ”

Xiahou Xuan is also a member of the Cao family, and he is also loyal to protect the interests of the Cao family, seeing that Sima Shi's usurpation of power and seeking the country has endangered the dominance of the Cao family, Xiahou Xuan can't help but be worried.

However, seeing Cao Liang so calm, Xiahou Xuan was also relieved, Cao Liang is also a clan, and it is a clan with an armed force, when the Cao clan is declining now, Cao Liang's force will become the main force against Sima Shi, as long as Cao Liang is there, Cao Wei's Jiangshan Sheji will not fall.
