After listening to Chun Yu Zhongxiu's tirade, Gao Yuan also admitted that Chun Yu Zhong Xiu did have a point, and now the formation of a joint column is indeed a general trend, of course, if Qi and Chu can really work together to participate in the joint column, of course, it will not be excluded for Gao Yuan.

And Chun Yu Zhongxiu's opinion also reminded Gao Yuan that he had only seen the unfavorable side of the alliance before, but he did not see the favorable side of the alliance, if the alliance was successful, he could naturally defeat the Qin State and expand his territory, but even if the alliance was not successful, it could also play a role in consuming the national strength of the Qin State, and it was not necessarily unfavorable to himself, as long as he was careful and did not lose his army, maybe he could take advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides to fish in the water and realize his profit.

Thinking about it this way, Gao Yuan's thinking suddenly became clear, since it is inevitable to join oneself, then one should no longer correct how the combination of oneself will be detrimental to oneself, but should think more about how to use this oneself to maximize one's own interests.

Therefore, Gao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Zhong Xiu is right, if the general trend of the joint column is about to come to fruition this time, then we should really consider how to grab the position of the commander of the joint column, so as to strive for the greatest interests for us in the future battle of the joint column against Qin." ”

Li Yinghong also smiled: "Yes, if Zhong Xiu is a man, his achievements must not be under Zhang Yi and Su Qin." ”

Chun Yu Zhong Xiu saw her own discussions, so that Gao Yuan was greatly inspired, and her heart was also very happy, she lived in the Gao Yuan Mansion for four or five months, and she had a very good understanding of the family situation of the Gao Yuan, knowing that the wives and concubines of the Gao Yuan could not only warm the bed for the Gao Yuan, each person has a different value, Li Yinghong is Li Mu's adopted daughter, and is an important link between the Gao Yuan and Li Mu's old department, and when the Gao Yuan goes out, she can also act as the Gao Yuan to sit in charge, so that the Gao Yuan has no worries; Lin Wenqing, on the other hand, is in control of the commercial operation of tens of thousands of eridium gold, which is an important financial source for the plateau; Not to mention Yun Yao, as the Grand Zhushi of more than 80,000 Bailing Clansmen, it is enough to be significant. is Geng Yanyu and Jian Wuji, it is not useless, Geng Yanyu takes care of the housework, so that everyone can do things with peace of mind; The sword dancer uses her own singing and dancing skills to entertain the eyes and ears of the plateau.

Although Chunyu Zhongxiu doesn't want to compete with other wives and concubines for favor, but he is also unwilling to be left behind, so Chunyu Zhongxiu can't help but think about what kind of status he has in the harem of the plateau, and how to reflect his own value, although his martial arts are good, but in this regard, he can't help the plateau much, first, the subordinates of the plateau are not short of elite soldiers; Second, Li Yinghong can also do these things.

However, Chunyu Zhongxiu soon found his own position, that is, relying on his own knowledge to learn experience, being able to discuss government affairs with Gao Yuan, talk about the world, and be able to put forward some valuable suggestions for Gao Yuan, which is something that other wives and concubines can't do. This time in the discussion of Hezong, Chun Yu Zhongxiu showed that other wives and concubines did not have the ability.

After figuring out the matter of the indulgence, Gao Yuan's mood was much more comfortable, at this time he only heard the sound of beating outside the window, it turned out to be the second watch, Gao Yuan said: "It's not too early, you don't want to go back, rest in the Qianqing Palace tonight." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu was stunned, and immediately blushed, only three or four months old, although he has loved the plateau a lot of times, but he has never accompanied the plateau with others, and now the plateau is clearly to play a game of one dragon and two phoenixes, and it is difficult to accept it for a while, and said: "This is not good, let Yinghong accompany her husband, I will go back, anyway, where I live is not far away, and ...... Ah......h

It's a pity that before she finished her words, she was hugged by Gao Yuan, biting her ear and saying, "If you want to listen to me now, you must accompany me both tonight." With that, he picked up Chunyu Zhongxiu and walked to the inner room.

Chunyu Zhongxiu was ashamed and embarrassed, but he was held by Gao Yuan and couldn't break free, so he had to say, "Yinghong, you can help me." ”

Li Yinghong smiled on the side: "Zhong Xiu, I can't help you this time, you just accept your fate honestly." ”

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― although the plateau has not yet been officially called king, but has already lived in the palace, and the place where officials are gathered to discuss matters is naturally placed in the Taihe Hall of the palace, and it has been officially renamed the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, early the next morning, Gao Yuan gathered officials in the Taihe Palace, and first informed the officials of the coup d'état in Qi State.

Sure enough, after learning the news, the officials were shocked at first, but immediately rejoiced, because everyone knew that in this way, there would be no obstacle to the formation of a joint column. So Zhang Liang immediately went out of the ranks, like Gao Yuan Jian, this time Qi and Chu will definitely negotiate with the plateau about the merger, so they should immediately arrange personnel to be responsible for negotiating the matter of the merger with Qi and Chu, and it is best to take the initiative to put it forward so as to grasp the leading power of the negotiations.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also put forward two principles for negotiations: First, it is necessary to win the position of the commander of the joint column for the plateau, so that he can grasp the command of the joint column army in the future; Second, the two countries should be asked to bear the expenses of the army, at least half.

Striving for the commander of the joint column is not only to strive for dominance, but also because only the plateau has the ability to command the army of the joint column, and neither Qi nor Chu has such handsome materials; At the same time, among the three countries of the joint column, the national strength of the plateau is the weakest, but the combat effectiveness of the army is the strongest, and the army will really form a joint army in the future, and the army of the plateau will naturally serve as the main force, and although the armies of the two countries are not strong, they are very rich, so they should naturally be allowed to share some more military expenses.

Being able to put forward these two principles of negotiation shows that Zhang Liang has indeed spent a lot of effort thinking about the matter of cooperation, and he has also tried his best to strive for the greatest interests in the future.

Gao Yuan agreed with Zhang Liang's opinion very much, and immediately ordered that Zhang Liang be appointed with full authority to negotiate with Qi and Chu on matters related to cooperation, but on the basis of the two negotiation principles proposed by Zhang Liang, another one was added, establishing a trade route between the three countries, reducing tariffs, and allowing merchants to come and go freely.

Although Zhang Liang was a little puzzled as to why Gao Yuan added the article of commercial trade to the merger, Gao Yuan's attitude towards the merger was obviously much more advanced than a few months ago. However, Zhang Liang thinks that this is not unexpected, because before the Qi State had a hindrance from the victory, and the Hezong could not see the hope of composition, so it is understandable that the plateau was not interested, and now that the obstacles of the Hezong have been removed, the plateau will naturally go all out to promote the merger.

In this way, he also has a lot of military power, because since the return to the plateau, Zhang Liang is mainly responsible for diplomatic affairs, in the battle of Daliang, Zhang Liang was active in the Qi country, so that Qi merchants continue to transport materials to Daliang to ensure the supply of military supplies to Daliang.

It's just that although the goal of this battle was achieved in the end, but the Great Liang was still lost in the end, and the Wei State was destroyed, although Gao Yuan still spoke highly of Zhang Liang's activities, and entrusted Zhang Liang with a heavy responsibility, but Zhang Liang always felt very regretful in his heart. In the later battle of Dai Qin, because Qin first destroyed Yan and cut off the connection between Dai and Qi, Zhang Liang's activities did not play a role.

This time, he discussed with Qi and Chu to form a joint column, and Zhang Liang also saved up enough energy, and he must promote the combination, first, to repay the kindness of the plateau; Second, it is also to justify his own name, to show their own value, because it is the important task of the plateau to entrust Zhang Liang with full authority to negotiate with Qi and Chu, Zhang Liang is naturally very grateful to the plateau for his trust, although now that Hou Sheng is dead, the obstacle of the alliance has disappeared, and there is basically no suspense in negotiating the combination. However, what Zhang Liang has to do is to strive for the greatest interests for the plateau, so the requirements put forward by the plateau must naturally be fulfilled as much as possible.

The other officials were very envious of Zhang Liang, and it turned out that at this time, the new official position system formulated by Gao Yuan had been officially announced, and only after ascending the throne, the new positions of the officials would be officially announced.

This is a matter of vital interests, so every official has carefully studied this new system of official positions, and estimates that those official positions are poor, those official positions have no future, those official positions are easy to be promoted, those official positions are not pleasing to offend, and there may be those candidates for various positions.

After the study and discussion of the officials, it was unanimously agreed that in this new system of official positions, the cabinet was naturally the most important position, followed by the six ministries, and then the other departments. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet is, of course, equivalent to the Prime Minister of the countries, but in addition to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet also has a sub-prime minister, three to six cabinet ministers, that is, the cabinet has at least five members, and at most eight people.

In the past, when he was in Daijun, Gao Yuan did not set up a state minister, and it was Shouqi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong who were responsible for government affairs, so there was no big problem for these three people to enter the cabinet, and there were at least two positions in the cabinet.

And if at this time, there can be a more eye-catching appearance, it will naturally be able to take the lead in the new official system. Zhang Liang has obtained the power to negotiate and negotiate with each other, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity, and if Zhang Liang can negotiate and conclude the agreement, of course, he will make a great contribution and have a great chance of joining the cabinet.

However, it is easy to discuss, but the two conditions put forward by Zhang Liang, as well as the increase in the plateau, are not so easy to discuss, and in the past two or three years, Zhang Liang has been responsible for the foreign affairs of Daijun, and Zhang Liang has traveled to various countries in his early years, and has a lot of contacts in both Qi and Chu, so this task is really only Zhang Liang can do.

Seeing that the things that should be dealt with were all dealt with, Gao Yuan announced the dissolution of the dynasty and turned back to the harem, and the officials withdrew from the Taihe Hall with different moods, and each returned to his own official office.
