After the banquet dispersed, Zhang Yan deliberately asked people to keep Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui, and summoned them to the study.

Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui came to the study together, but they didn't know what Zhang Yan had left them for, and after looking at each other, their hearts were not very stable.

After a while, Zhang Yan walked in from outside the study, and saw that Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui were all there, so he said, "Let the five adults wait for a long time!" ”

Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui said in unison: "See the general!" ”

"You don't have to be so polite, when you get here, don't be too restrained, please take a seat." Zhang Yan raised his hand and said loudly.

"Whoa!"

Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui sat down one after another, and Zhong Xuan first asked, "I don't know what the general asked me to do here?" ”

Zhang Yan said straight to the point: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Meng Bixia was loved, and I was given the post of general, let me take charge of the country's military aircraft, and let me open the government, and the three divisions of Yitong. I opened the mansion for the first time, and I need some staff in the mansion, and you are all the pillars of my Han dynasty, I wonder if you are willing to listen to it in my mansion? ”

After hearing this, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui all looked at each other, and the five of them all received the holy decree of Bixia and were recruited to serve in the middle of the service, so they came to Pengcheng. Now Zhang Yan suddenly proposed to let them enter the shogunate and be his staff, and the five people have their own plans in their hearts.

In fact, the recruitment of famous people from all over the world to serve as auxiliary ministers of the DPRK was handled by Zhang Yan. It can also be said. Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui were able to receive the holy decree of being recruited as servants. In fact, it was Zhang Yan who sent someone to bring it to promulgate.

Other than that. Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui also knew very well that the Son of Heaven was received by Zhang Yan to Pengcheng, and Pengcheng was Zhang Yan's foundation, and it was Zhang Yan who was really powerful, not the Son of Heaven.

It can also be said that Zhang Yan borrowed the name of the Son of Heaven to gather so many celebrities in Pengcheng. In that case, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui were also recruited by Zhang Yan.

Now. Zhang Yan proposed to include them in the shogunate and use them for their own use, but the five people had their own ideas in their hearts.

Zhang Yan then added: "You can rest assured, if you agree to enter my shogunate and serve me, I can still ask Bixia to reward you with your official position. However, once you agree to enter my shogunate, you will be my staff, and you must be consistent with me in all things. I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it. After you have thought about it, answer me. Other than that. If you think that I am not qualified to let you work for me, I will not force it, even if I make a friend today, everyone will not look up and look down in the future, and still be ministers in the same hall, all for the sake of the Han Dynasty. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan stood up and said to everyone: "I'll go to the toilet, and you adults should think about it!" ”

Zhang Yan strode out of the study, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight, but in the study, there was no sound, and the five people fell into deep thought, and began to think about whether to join Zhang Yan's shogunate.

Today's Zhang Yan is not only the overlord of one side, but also judges the situation, after rescuing the Son of Heaven from the persecution of Li Dao and Guo Yan, he took him to Pengcheng, seized the power of the imperial court in a timely manner, and became a powerful minister.

Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui thought about it and had their own answers in their hearts.

After burning a stick of incense, Zhang Yan stepped into the study on time and asked, "I don't know what the five adults are thinking?" ”

Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, and Jia Kui looked at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to serve as the general's staff, and from now on, we will be the head of the general!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said happily: "Okay, very good!" I have added five more talents to the general's mansion, which is really gratifying! ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Yan came to the Chonghua Palace, handed the draft haode hundred officials and ministers table to Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and said loudly: "Qi bixia, this is the hundred officials and ministers table drafted by Weichen, please bixia, if there is no objection, please bixia according to this table to issue a holy decree, officially canonize the hundred officials!" ”

Liu Xie took the list of 100 officials, opened it, and carefully browsed it, and the 100 officials invited were as follows: the former Taiwei Yang Biao is Situ, the former guard captain Zhang Wen is Sikong, Bing Yuan is Taichang, Guoyuan is the servant, Hua Xin is the great Honglu, Wang Lang is the guard captain, Zheng Hun is Zongzheng, Zhong Xuan is Guangluxun, Zhang Zhao is the court captain, Chen Qun is the great Si Nong, Zhang Hong is the Shaofu, Dong Cheng is the ruling Jinwu, Fu Wan is the master craftsman, Jia Xu is the captain of Si Li, Xu Sheng is the captain of the city gate, Lu Su is the servant of the Shangshu, Liu Ye is the doctor of Guanglu, Gu Yong is the middle of the imperial history, Jia Kui is the Fu Jie Order, Wen Hui is the Arsenal Order, Xing Hao is the Taishi Order, Xu Miao is the Left Commander, Wei Qi is the Right Commander, Xu Yi is the Taicang Order, He Kui is the Examination Order, Sima Zhi is the Commander of the Court, Du Ji is the Left Supervisor of the Tingwei, Liu Shao is the Pingzhun Order, He Qia is the Guide Order, Wang Cang is the Lantai Order, Zhang Ji is the Chefu Order, Jiang Ji is the Daxing Order, Xu Gan is the Shang Fang Order, and Xi Xi is the Counselor.

In addition, Zhang Yan also invited Fan A to be the imperial doctor, Dong Zhao to be the servant of the confessor, Xu Chu to be the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, Xu Huang to be the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Tai Shici to be the former general, Zang Ba to be the left general, Yu Ban to be the right general, Chen Deng to be the rear general, Mi Zhu to be the left Zhonglang general, Sun Qian to be the right Zhonglang general, Chen Qi to be the Taizhong doctor, Kong Rong to be the Zhongsan doctor, Zhou Tai to the Henghai general, Jiang Qin to be the Hengjiang general, Chen Ying to be the rebellious general, Mi Fang to be the general of the Ping Nan Zhonglang, Lu Dai to be the general of the broken captives, Li Dian to the general of Hengye, and the rest of Zhang Yan's subordinates, all of them have been promoted.

When Liu Xie carefully read this list of 100 officials and ministers, he had to admire Zhang Yan's arrangement. Although his two fathers-in-law, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, both served as the chief and the general master respectively, the rest of the important official positions were almost controlled by Zhang Yan's subordinates.

However, Liu Xie didn't say anything, after all, the newly recruited celebrities filled the vacancies of the hundred officials, and these new celebrities were not Zhang Yan's old department, as long as he made friends with these celebrities with his heart, maybe he could turn these people into his henchmen.

From the beginning, Liu Xie thought like this. It is precisely because of this that he dismissed the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries within a few days, and ordered Yang Biao, Zhang Wen and others to resign, the purpose of which was to let Zhang Yan recruit famous people from outside, only in this way would he not be firmly controlled by Zhang Yan.

The goal has been achieved, although Zhang Yan's list of 100 officials and ministers is not very satisfactory to him, and most of the important official positions have fallen into the hands of Zhang Yan's henchmen, but at least he has the opportunity to play with Zhang Yan. In time, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, he gradually won the hearts of the people, and he could find people with lofty ideals who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic from among the hundreds of officials, so that they could become confidants, and when they were full-fledged, they could get rid of Zhang Yan's control, so as to achieve the goal of being pro-government.

Liu Xie closed the table of 100 officials and ministers, pondered for a moment, and then said aloud: "Aiqing's list is very detailed, but I don't know why Aiqing is the only vacant to the position of captain?" ”

"Qiyu Bixia, Wei Chen thought about it, and felt that the position of Tai Lieutenant was too important, and the person who could live in this position, Wei Chen had not yet found it."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Yan: "Aiqing's words are wrong, I think that Aiqing is eloquent and strategic, and can be literate and martial, so he is the best candidate for Taiwei." If I can get Aiqing's assistance, I really can't ask for it. ”

"Weichen's qualifications are still shallow, and he is only sparsely educated, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task!"

"Aiqing doesn't have to be modest, in my opinion, the position of Taiwei is none other than Aiqing!" Liu Xiedao.

"But Bixia, as a general, Weichen is already a very popular minister, and he is in charge of the country's military aircraft, if he is a lieutenant again, I am afraid that the hundred officials will not ......be convinced."

"No, it's okay, I've made up my mind, so I'll be in charge. Aiqing Qinwang rescued, meritorious service, whoever dares to disobey among the hundred officials, let him come to me to tell him, I will definitely make decisions for Aiqing! Liu Xie swore solemnly.

Zhang Yan then arched his hand and said, "That...... Weichen is respectful and better than obeying his fate, thank you Bixia Longen! ”

Subsequently, Liu Xie personally drafted a holy decree, enshrined Zhang Yan as the imperial lieutenant, and concurrently held the post of general, and took charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country. In addition, Liu Xie copied the holy decree according to the table of the hundred officials and ministers invited by Zhang Yan.

After Liu Xie stamped the jade seal, he asked people to give this holy decree to Zhang Yan, and then asked Zhang Yan to gather hundreds of civil and military officials tomorrow and go to the Chonghua Hall to go to court.

Zhang Yan carried the holy decree and returned directly to the General's Mansion, and then asked all the people to gather in the General's Mansion, read Liu Xie's holy decree in public, and officially completed the formation of the civil and military officials.

When the holy decree was read, everyone heard that Zhang Yan was a lieutenant and a general, and he took charge of the military and government of the whole country, which was the first time in history.

Among the Jiuqing, Zhang Hong, the Shaofu, still led the troops to garrison in the Luoyang area, so Zhang Yan asked him to serve as Henan Yin, and let Lu Su temporarily take the post of Shaofu, and Gu Yong and Jia Kui assisted him.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan asked people to vacate some houses in the inner city as the mansions of civil and military officials, and set up an office location in the front hall of the palace, so that the three princes and nine secretaries could work there, and they could quickly discuss and solve anything.

Pengcheng has been made the temporary capital of the Son of Heaven, so Xuzhou naturally became a subordinate, and Zhang Yan set up the Sili Captain's Mansion in Pengcheng to let Jia Xu manage Xuzhou affairs. At the same time, Zhang Yan also asked Jia Xu to serve as the chief historian of his general's mansion, which shows how much Zhang Yan attaches importance to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was so moved by Zhang Yan's attention, and secretly decided that he must assist Zhang Yan well. (To be continued......)
