Xue Mi was satisfied, feeling that everything today was very worthwhile, but Liu Han was a little dissatisfied, feeling that this guy only knew how to ask for and didn't know how to repay, and he was two points unhappy in his heart, but he didn't bring it out on his face.

The two listened to the sound of the flute and drank tea, the sky gradually darkened, the cold wind became thicker, Xue Mi couldn't stand it, so the two of them moved to the room again, the decoration in the room was also simple and ordinary, at least it looked ordinary, but in fact, every decoration was carefully designed, and it seemed ordinary but it was actually extraordinary.

The maid quickly sent wine and food, and the two of them each had a few cases, and the number of dishes was not much, but everything was carefully carved, and the wine was also a royal wine rewarded by the palace, and Xue Mi had made a lot of money today.

Both of them are massive, Liu Han needless to say, his internal qi cultivation is amazing, he can't get drunk at all, Xue Mi is also tested by wine, after three rounds of wine, Xue Mi looked at Liu Han and sighed: "Brother Liu's talent, it's a pity to bury the people, why don't you enter the court as an official?"

Liu Han heard the faint solicitation in his mouth, so he smiled bitterly: "I have no tasting, no recommendation, who will come to conquer? Besides, even if it is recruited, it is only a sesame official, there are countless masters above to serve, and there are countless gate lords below to greet, so I really can't arouse interest." ”

To be a local official, you also have to look at your background. If you are from a scholar clan, this official should be smoother, at least those local gate lords and scholars will not dare to bully you, but if you are from a Shu clan or a commoner, then wait to be bullied. Those gatekeepers come to a housekeeper, you have to be careful to deal with it, otherwise the official position is not guaranteed, it is still light, and the heavy one is afraid that he will have to live in prison for a few years, and he will be seriously assigned to remote areas.

What's more, the magistrates of the Shu nationality, even if they are in the same stream as the gate lord clan, but their career is also very limited, and they can be mixed into the state, which is considered to be a good mix, and most of them can only be mixed in the county, Gu Wei is an example, he has a very high reputation in Shilin, but even so, he would rather wait in Shilin for more than ten years than go to the local government to serve as an official, because there is no future at all.

"Then," Xue Mi said in a deep voice, "How about going to the court as an official?"

"Chaoli?" Liu Han looked at Xue Mi with a smile, Xue Mi was very calm: "I want to recommend Brother Liu to the imperial court, but I know that Brother Liu is noble and does not dare to act rashly, so I will ask Brother Liu first." ”

Xue Mi's expression was extremely humble, giving Liu Han enough face, Liu Han smiled slightly: "Brother Xue's sincerity, Liu is deeply grateful, if I can make a difference, I would like to enter the court, but, I want to know Brother Xue's ambition?"

Xue Mi perked up when he heard this, straightened his waist and chest, and blurted out: "Bring down Pan Lian and control Shangshutai." ”

Liu Han nodded slightly, revealing an appreciative look, and pondered for a moment: "Brother Xue is ambitious, and Brother Liu is willing to help." ”

Xue Mi was overjoyed and picked up his wine glass and said to Liu Han: "Thank you, Brother Liu!"

Liu Han didn't move, Xue Yu was a little puzzled, Liu Han asked lightly: "Pan Lian is an auxiliary minister, there is a queen mother in the palace, the Pan family brothers are in Shangshutai, they control the military and politics, and their power is all over the court, how can Brother Xue bring him down?"

Xue Yu was silent, and Liu Han sighed: "If you have ambitions, you must also have a plan to achieve your goal, Brother Xue, with all due respect, you only have a goal now, but you have no plan, if you continue like this, not only will you not be able to bring down Pan Lian, but you may even invite disaster." ”

Xue Mi gasped, he also had this feeling, he wanted to control the power, but he had nowhere to do it, so this time he finally had an opportunity to perform, he wanted to seize it, although Master Luo pointed out a way, but that road was too slow, but Liu Han's words today completely opened his mind and let him see a bright future, so he had the idea of taking Liu Han into the account, and Liu Han's reaction also made him very happy.

The most important thing is that he faintly felt that Liu Han was several times smarter than Master Naluo, and he could even describe Taizu and Ziwen, Zhang Ji Zhang Ziwen, the head of the three heroes under Taizu's account, known as the strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, Taizu once praised that without Ziwen, there would be no world of Great Jin.

"Please also ask Brother Liu to teach me. Xue Mi sincerely bowed his hand.

Liu Han glanced left and right, and Xue Mi immediately waved his hand to let the maids who were waiting on the side retreat, and suddenly only the two of them were left in the room.

Only then did Liu Han speak: "Brother Xue, if you want to enter Shangshutai, you must first understand the distribution of the power of the court, and secondly, you must understand the emperor's thoughts. ”

Xue Yu nodded slightly, and did not open his mouth to interrupt Liu Han, Liu Han continued: "What kind of emperor does Brother Xue think is the emperor today?"

Evaluating the emperor, in the history books he read in his previous life, it may be a big rebellion, but in this era, there is no problem, if the emperor does a bad job, the people in Shilin even dare to scold the king in person.

"I don't know. Xue Yu shook his head slightly and sighed, and Brother Liu smiled: "The first emperor left the Taiding Zhongxing situation, but in fact, in the late period of the first emperor, the treasury was empty, the displaced people were everywhere, and the court situation was full of hidden dangers. ”

Xue Yu nodded after a little thought, and Liu Han continued: "The current emperor has been the prince for more than ten years, and he knows the disadvantages of the world, so he wants to cheer up when he is the prince, but he can hinder the first emperor and cannot show his ambitions. ”

Xue Mi compared Liu Han's words with what the emperor said and did after he ascended the throne, and his eyes brightened.

"Shangshutai and auxiliary ministers, all headed by Pan Lian, the Pan brothers control Shangshutai and Taiwei Mansion, the emperor has only been on the throne for a few months, and the courtiers who have taken refuge in him are like carp crossing the river, and there is an endless stream, and his power is all over the court in a short period of time.

But his foundation is very weak, it is built on the sand, and it will collapse if there is any wind and grass.

However, Pan Chain is now gaining momentum, and Brother Xue cannot clash with it head-on, and even have to rise for it at some point. ”

"Why is this?" Xue Mi asked incomprehensibly, Liu Han smiled: "The Taoist canon says that if you want to take the first, the Pan family is powerful, in charge of Shangshutai and Taiwei, Pan Chain and Pan Ji are both auxiliary ministers, a family of two ministers, and it is rare in history, Brother Xue has read the history books, and he should know what the final fate of these families is." ”

Xue Yuxin said that I had read it, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only pretend to nod his head, Liu Han knew it in his heart, so he continued: "Such a family ended up dead and ruined, why is this happening?"

I heard that before the first emperor died, after Pan Ji took control of the Taiwei Mansion, he replaced a large number of officers from the Bishan camp and the forbidden army, many of whom were from the Pan family, you say, can the emperor not be scrupulous!"

Xue Mi nodded frequently, and Liu Han also nodded meaningfully: "Therefore, the emperor must beat the Pan family, Pan Lian does not know whether he is alive or dead, and takes the opportunity of cleaning up Du Zhi Cao, and let his long history control Du Zhi Cao, what is the current court situation, the Pan family controls Shang Shutai, controls the Taiwei Mansion, controls the imperial treasury, and also controls the Imperial History Terrace, what do you say the emperor will think?"

"The emperor will be worried. Xue Yu blurted out, Liu Han nodded: "The first emperor left five auxiliary ministers, to be honest, this is a trick, in my observation, these five auxiliary ministers can finally get a good death, except for Zuo Chen, the others are hanging." ”

"Qiu Yun and Gan Tang can't do it?" Xue Yu was very surprised, Liu Han was silent for a while, and nodded: "Auxiliary ministers are generally set up when the emperor is young, but now the emperor is in his thirties, and there is no need to set up auxiliary ministers at all, but why did the first emperor set it up?"

Xue Yu was a little dazed, Liu Han said: "I don't know, but an adult emperor, what he longs for is to control power and realize his political aspirations, but the auxiliary minister is his obstacle, what do you say the emperor will do? There is only one way, the auxiliary minister, but the auxiliary minister was set up by the first emperor, and the first emperor did not set the auxiliary time of the auxiliary minister, so, theoretically, the auxiliary minister can continue to assist the government indefinitely until they return to their hometown." But can the Emperor wait so long? I can tell you for sure, he can't.

The emperor didn't do it now, that was because he had just ascended the throne, and he couldn't do it yet, and more importantly, the emperor didn't control all the power, and the brother and brother hadn't completely passed, and the emperor was still waiting.

It's ridiculous, Pan Lian can't see through this, and he is still trying his best to expand his power, so he will be the first to fall. ”

"Then why do you still suggest that I stand up for him?" Xue Mi was very puzzled, isn't this the opposite way.

"It's still the same sentence, if you want to take the first," Liu said coldly: "The faster Pan Lian's power expands, the faster he will die! You are in the middle book supervisor, and more importantly, you are also the queen's younger brother, the emperor's brother-in-law, even you have to bow to Pan Lian, you say that the emperor wants to know, what will he think?"

"High!" Xue Mixi smiled and gave Liu Han a thumbs up, admiring it very much.

"In addition to this, Pan Lian has a potential opponent," Liu Han smiled, took a sip of wine and continued, "This is the clan. Brother Xue don't underestimate the power of the clan, Yongzhou is in the hands of the King of Qin, although the King of Qi has been weakened, but his influence in Qingzhou is still very large, and the state is actually in the hands of the clan, but in the center, the clan does not have any power, there is only one king of Yanping County in the imperial capital, and he only controls the insignificant Zongren Mansion, do you say that the clan is happy in his heart?

Whose world is this Great Jin, the world of the Yan family, the people of the Yan family cannot control the power, let the Pan family control the world, are the kings of this clan happy in their hearts?

So, to bring down Pan Lian, Brother Xue, you have to join forces with the clan. ”

"Join forces with the clan," Xue Yu muttered and repeated, and couldn't help frowning, in the process of competing for the throne, most of the people in the clan supported King Qi, not only the emperor knew it, but even the first emperor had it in his heart, so there was no clan figure among the auxiliary ministers, and before he died, he drove all the vassal kings back to the fiefdom, and now he wants to join forces with the clan, what will the emperor think in his heart?

"There are also people in this clan who support the emperor," Liu Han said calmly: "King Qin and King Qi, as well as the three kings of Bingzhou, Brother Xue must not have any contact with them, I recommend two people to Brother Xue, the first is the king of Yanping County, and the second is the prince of Xiao Zhao." ”

"Why them?" Xue Mi didn't understand, and he still had some doubts in his heart, because these two people had a good relationship with Liu Han.

"The king of Yanping County is the prince of the side branch, the first emperor drove all the other princes back to the fief, but left him, there is a meaning in this, the king of Yanping County has no soldiers in his hands, and the fief is almost gone, so he is not an important person in the clan, but he has controlled the Zongren Mansion for many years and has contacts with the princes from all over the country, so the cooperation with him is not conspicuous, and the effect is very good.

As for Prince Xiao Zhao, Prince Xiao Zhao is also the prince of the side branch, and even if he inherits the title of King Zhao, he can only be a marquis, and he has reached the verge of completely losing the title, so he must do something to keep the title.

Now do you understand, when dealing with the clan, you must remember a principle, befriend the princes of the weak branches, and alienate the princes of the real power who hold military power like the King of Qin and the princes of the close branches, and let these princes of the weak branches go to the battle. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Han stopped, drank a few sips of wine and ate a few mouthfuls of food, Xue Mi looked at Liu Han blankly with a wine glass, and only sighed for a long time: "Brother Liu is talented, Xue admires it very much." ”

"Brother Xue is serious," Liu Han smiled slightly: "Planning is planning, but it is another matter to execute, Brother Xue, you still have to contact the Hedong Shi clan, over the years, the Hedong Shi clan has been suppressed, Brother Xue stretched out his hand to pull them, they can not be grateful, in the future, Brother Xue wants to control Shangshutai, and also needs their support." ”

Xue Mi nodded again and again, his heart was full of joy, the haze between his eyebrows was swept away, and he persuaded him to drink again and again, and after a few glasses, Xue Mi asked again: "Brother Liu, I don't know what you want to do in the court?"

Liu Han thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if Brother Xue has any help in the army?"

Xue Yu shook his head slightly, Liu Han thought for a while and said: "If I enter the court, among the civil officials, I am afraid that it will not be of much help to the son, it is better to go to the army to help Brother Xue, I want to go to the forbidden army." ”

Xue Mi was stunned at first, in this era, the status of civil officials is higher than that of military generals, and there are many people in the clan of military generals, but these people are all family middle school scholars, like Qiu Ge can be said to be very rare, Liu Han actually does not want to be a civil official but wants to be a military general, this choice makes him wonder.

But then he remembered that Liu Han had just said that with his background and reputation, if he wants to become a civil official, he will be an insignificant petty official at most, and in the forbidden army, he may be able to play a greater role, in addition, he also remembered that Qiu Ge once mentioned that Liu Han's cultivation is very high, and there is a grandmaster cultivation, and with such cultivation in the forbidden army, I am afraid that he can play a greater role.

"How does Brother Xue plan to recommend it?" Liu Han asked again, Xue Mi was stunned again, the forbidden army is under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei Mansion, and if he wants to recommend Xue Mi, he has to recommend Xue Mi to Pan Ji, how can he open his mouth?
