Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others went to Bingzhou and Youzhou, although the situation in these two places is not as bad as in the south, but this is the first time they have done things independently, this time, there is no Yuan Shu, and there is no Liu Bei, they have to rely entirely on themselves, to solve the official and academic problems in these two regions, Youzhou is better, as a passage to Ningzhou, Xinzhou, and built a Chi Road early, Youzhou has been in a good situation in recent years.

Although it is still not comparable to the Central Plains, it is not too far behind, the construction of official schools is not difficult here, and the state is different, it is not as developed as Youzhou, and many people rely on nomadism to make a living, it is still very difficult to get the official school, therefore, Zhuge Liang took Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Lu Su and other people to Bingzhou, they each have their own opinions, and they do not feel that this trip will be difficult.

In the end, he stayed by Liu Mastiff's side, and Cao Pi was the only one left.

After everyone left, Liu Mastiff rushed to Shangshutai, before going, he was prepared, and did not bring too many people, just brought Cao Pi, and two guards, took a carriage, came to Shangshutai, got off the car, and when he looked again, Liu Mastiff was surprised to find that there were no soldiers stationed in front of Shangshutai, it was really shabby, Liu Mastiff took three people and walked in.

In Shangshutai, many officials are busy, people come and go, the number of people in Shangshutai is still a lot, these, the number of officials is constantly increasing, just busy in this Shangshutai, as if there are a hundred people, Liu Mastiff is at the door to look at the situation inside, but no one came to ask him, or greet him, which made Liu Mastiff a little embarrassed, Cao Pi on the side was a little annoyed, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when he saw a person poking out of the inner room, he only showed half of his body, and beckoned to the prince.

Cao Pi was stunned, who is this, who dares to be so rude to the prince?!

Of course, Liu Mastiff knows this person, this person is Xun Yu, he was also familiar with Liu Mastiff before, he has a good relationship with the Son of Heaven, Liu Mastiff can only be called his uncle, he is afraid that Cao Pi will anger this person, and hurriedly said: "You don't want to be like this, this person is Xun Jun...", he reminded him so much, Cao Pi suddenly realized, no wonder he dared to do this to the prince, so he didn't say much, Liu Mastiff took the three of them, and came to the inner room.

This room is also quite narrow, there are only three people in it, and it is occupied in all positions, not able to accommodate too many people, Liu Mastiff is a little embarrassed, let Cao Pi and Han Hao, Shi Jian stay outside the house, and enter the house by himself, Xing Ziang is busy with the things in hand, and Guo Jia on the side is the same, they are all writing something, seeing Liu Mastiff walking in, Xun Yu smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is just busy, I hope Your Highness is not strange, wait for a while." ”

Liu Mastiff nodded and said, "Don't dare to disturb!" ”

Xing Ziang raised his head, looked at him, nodded, it was considered to be a visit, as for Guo Jia, it was that his head was not raised, Liu Mastiff waited like this, that is, he waited for more than two hours, Liu Mastiff is also good-natured, he can endure it, Cao Pi outside the door can't help it, his legs are sore, but the Liu Mastiff in the house has not sat down, how can they sit? Just when Cao Pi was secretly scolding the officials of Shangshutai, it seemed that he was just done.

Xing Ziang hurriedly shouted to the outside world: "Chen Jun! Send this letter to Jia Gong!! “

Walking into a person from outside, taking the letter in his hand, Guo Jia also handed it to him, and instructed: "Give it to Sikong, let him prepare the money borne by the post station...", Liu Mastiff just watched, and when the man walked out, Xing Ziang looked at the prince in front of him, he smiled, nodded, and said: "It is said that the prince has the seal of the Ren Temple, and today it seems that there are some..."

"Xing Gong has a good reputation!" Liu Mastiff hurriedly said.

Xing Ziang didn't say anything, let Liu Mastiff sit down, and said: "Your Highness, Shang Shutai, unlike others, things here are extremely cumbersome, but all the decrees of the temple are issued from us to all parties, and sometimes, we still need to go to implement them in person...", he paused, and continued: "We don't mean to snub Your Highness, we are too busy..."

"I know..."Liu Mastiff said, Xing Ziang looked at Guo Jia on the side, and said: "Fengxiao, tell His Highness about the specific situation of Shangshutai...", Guo Jia nodded, looked at Liu Mastiff, and said, from Shangshu Ling Xing Ziang, said Shangshu servant shooting, as well as Changshi, and even many subordinate officials below, described the various positions, structures, and responsibilities of Shangshutai in great detail, speaking quickly, without pause, and extremely clear.

Before Liu Mastiff could react, Xing Ziang stood up and said, "Your Highness is mostly clear, I still have something to do, and I want to go to Ningzhou... Your Highness can watch all the things in Shangshutai by yourself...", after speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Mastiff to say anything, and left in a hurry, Liu Mastiff looked at Guo Jia and Xun Yu blankly, Xun Yu smiled and said: "Your Highness, please come with me...."

He took Liu Mastiff and walked out of the house, Guo Jia stayed in the house, and just about to sit down, Xun Yu said helplessly: "Fengxiao, you also come out!" ”

Guo Jia glanced at him and said, "It's good that you take Your Highness down to watch, I still have Jiaozhou's order, and I haven't issued it!" Xun Yu didn't say much, pulled Liu Mastiff, walked out of Shangshutai, out of this courtyard, Liu Mastiff only felt refreshed, couldn't help but take a deep breath, I don't know why, in this Shangshutai, there is too much depression, everyone is busy with their heads down, everyone is tired, no energy.

"Your Highness, the affairs of Shang Shutai are too cumbersome... You also see... Since the prince, Shang Shutai has become like this... I did remind the Son of Heaven... However, Xing Gong and Feng Xiao were too stubborn and unwilling to bow their heads, and now everyone is willing to come to Shangshutai to serve... These people are also suffering from not being able to leave.." Xun Yu said a little helplessly: "I can't tell the Son of Heaven about these things..."

Liu Mastiff understood, and he said: "After returning to the palace, I will go to find Father..."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao.."

"Don't dare!"

The two chatted for a long time, Cao Pi always wanted to say something, but he couldn't get in for a long time, and after a while, Liu Mastiff said goodbye and left.

After saying goodbye to the prince, Xun Yu returned to the original house, Guo Jia was checking the edict, and when he saw Xun Yu walking in, he said with some disdain: "You still let His Royal Highness the Prince help play the Son of Heaven?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Just because I am Guo Fengxiao, I know everything."

"Hahaha!" Xun Yu laughed, sat next to Guo Jia, took the edict on the case, and said, "I did ask the prince to help play... When this foreign trade decree is over, Shang Shutai will definitely be able to start cutting...", hearing his words, Guo Jia slowly put down the edict in his hand, looked at Xun Yu in front of him solemnly, and asked, "Why do you want to do this?" If the Shangshutai had been cut, would you have any idea how slow the implementation of the decree would become? ”

"What about you? Why are you so crazy busy in Shangshutai?? ”

Guo Jia looked at him and didn't reply.

Xun Yu chuckled and said, "It's that I can't hold on, I'm too tired, so I played." ”

Guo Jia shook his head, he didn't understand that Xun Yu was talking back, he said: "I can still survive, it's not in the way...", Xun Yu sighed lightly and said: "You and I are just that, such a talent as Gong Xing will be trapped in this small study, and I will not be able to get out for twenty years. What about you and me? Do you want to be here?? ”

"No matter how much we have accomplished, no one will appreciate it, but those who talk empty and do not do real things, they are very famous, how long do you want to stay here?"

Guo Jia's face was ordinary, and he didn't seem to care about this.

Xun Yu asked helplessly: "What about you, why do you want to be like this?" ”

"Me?" Guo Jia frowned, and said a little heavily: "I just want to see the world that Shijun wants to see, Shijun has been changing the world according to his ambition all his life, he wants to create an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous world, everyone is rich, the country is peaceful, and the world is harmonious... He died at the hands of a villain before he could fulfill his ambition, and I want to continue his career... In the temple, there is always a need for people who do practical things...."

Xun Yu was silent for a long time, smiled, and said, "Then think of a way... Or expand Shangshutai... Or raise the salaries of the officials in Shangshutai... Anyway, you'll keep going... But you have to live to that day..."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Luoyang, I'll look for it another day..."

"Hey, I told you about the miracle doctor... How did you hear about it? ”

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu in front of him, his expression gradually became solemn, and he asked, "Wen Ruo, do you want to leave?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said, "If you kneel down and beg me, maybe I will stay!" ”

"Hahaha, I am the champion of all four subjects, how can I beg you, who is not an agricultural major? You have to beg me, let me keep you!! ”

.........

Liu Mastiff hurriedly returned to the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven saw his face, and understood in his heart that this guy must have gone to see the situation of Shangshutai, the Son of Heaven smiled and let Liu Mastiff sit down, in fact, the situation of Shangshutai, he didn't know in his heart, however, if Shangshutai was to be cut, the implementation of the decree would be in trouble, in addition, if Shangshutai was to be added, Shangshutai would become too large, which might cause dissatisfaction among the three princes and nine secretaries of the court.

Because Shangshutai was born to restrict the Three Princes when it was established, and the addition of Shangshutai was to seize power from the hands of the Three Princes and the Nine Princes, how could they let go?

Liu Mastiff sat in front of the Son of Heaven, frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Father, I want to impeach Xing Gong, Xun Jun, and Guo Jun of Shangshutai!" ”

Hearing Liu Mastiff's words, the Son of Heaven was shocked, looked at him with some doubts, and asked, "Why?" ”

"They are really rude, when the sons entered Shangshutai, no one came to greet the sons, they were all busy with their heads bowed, and the officials were just like that, even Xing Gong, so old, should have known etiquette, he was the same, he was busy, he didn't even want to look up, he didn't say a few words to the child, and went to Ningzhou to play, at such an age, if you don't stay in Luoyang honestly, you have to go to a prosperous place like Ningzhou to play!"

"And that Xun Jun and Guo Jun... Both of them are great talents, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, so long, they can just stay in Shangshutai, not even a promotion, they think about it is an empty name, they don't even have time to speak, they look at the case all day long, and they don't know what they are doing, especially that Guo Jia, I heard that he is weak and sick, such a person, he still has to stay in Shangshutai all day long, and receive Yulu, it really shouldn't be...."

As soon as Liu Mastiff finished speaking, the Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing, he looked at his son in front of him, and said helplessly: "You erection, are you impeaching Shangshutai or impeaching me??? ”

"Father, how dare the child impeach Father..."Liu Mastiff said with a smile.

"Okay, I know, within three months, I'll find a way, let's go out, and besides, stay away from Huaxiong's bastard, don't learn everything!!"

"Respectfully!!"
