Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 160 Smart and Stupid

He chuckled, "Don't talk about Lao Shizi's taxes, my lord asked me to donate all my family assets, and I didn't say anything."

Guo Tu smiled with emotion: "Everyone says you are vulgar, I think they really don't understand you, the lord is using the right person."

Chunyu Qiong raised her eyebrows, quite proudly.

The order to call Zhuge Liang back will be issued soon, and Zhuge Liang will be the prime minister for the future.

This puzzled many people in Yecheng, wondering how a little-known person could be so respected and incumbent by Yuan Xi.

After a little adjustment, they found out that Zhuge Liang started off as the Jingzhou Shepherd, and it was already a step up to the sky, but now he is going to be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

For a while, the city of Ye was turbulent, and the undercurrent was raging.

Within a few days, rumors about opposition to Zhuge Liang's appointment as prime minister came out.

"Your Majesty, this minister has something to play."

It was rare for Yuan Xi to go to court, and it was originally to lay the foundation for the founding of the country in the future, so that everyone would be prepared.

In his opinion, this was a natural thing, but he did not expect that someone was the first to blow the horn of opposition.

Liu Xie yawned inadvertently, and said softly, "What does Liu Qing have to say?"

He read until midnight yesterday, and was quite sleepy. He just wanted to finish the process and go back to catch up on sleep.

Liu An is a member of the Liu clan. He is currently serving as the doctor of imperial history. He has always been quite prestigious. Because the position of prime minister has always been vacant, he thought he should be promoted. Unexpectedly, there were rumors that Zhuge Liang might worship as prime minister. This made Liu An Ann was very unhappy.

The doctor Yushi mainly exercises the power of the deputy prime minister and is the assistant of the prime minister. He supervises all the administrative activities of the officials including the prime minister, and belongs to the Sangong, although the status is the lowest.

But at present, the Taiwei is equivalent to a fake, no matter what the matter is, and there is no one in the prime minister, so in the government and the opposition, he almost has a very important voice.

"Your Majesty, there are vacancies for the post of prime minister. The old minister feels that the country is stable now, and he should be selected for the post of prime minister. He cannot be left vacant all the time."

As soon as Liu An finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement with Liu An's thoughts.

Yuan Xi smiled faintly, thinking that Liu An was his own person, and planned to nominate Zhuge Liang to be the position, expressing his thoughts in advance, even though he was not familiar with this Liu An.

But it did not prevent him from admiring Liu An.

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, he had always been lazy in managing the affairs of the court, and he didn't expect Liu An to say that.

He subconsciously looked at Yuan Xi who was in the front row on the far left, and seeing Yuan Xi smiling lightly, he nodded slightly to him.

Immediately understood.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu Qing's words are reasonable, I wonder if Liu Qing has someone to recommend?"

Liu An's face darkened slightly, his eyes turned to one side.

"Your Majesty, I think Liu Yushi is suitable for the post of prime minister."

An official came out and said in a deep voice, "Although Liu Yushi didn't have a position as a prime minister, what he did was the business of the prime minister. Liu Yushi could not be more suitable."

At this remark, the officials were in an uproar.

Although more than half of the civil and military officials present were not Yuan Xi's people, most of them still believed that Yuan Xi kept his word and recognized Yuan Xi.

Of the remaining part, half are neutral, some are vacillating, and the other part is staunch royalists.

But no matter which faction it is, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang is Yuan Xi's valued prime minister.

Liu An wants to be the prime minister himself?
People belonging to Yuan Xi's camp looked at Yuan Xi one after another.

It was found that Yuan Xi's complexion remained unchanged, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, the civil and military officials who supported Yuan Xi didn't know what to say.

Some even speculated that this was Yuan Xi's idea?

"Your Majesty, Liu Yushi has done a lot of hard work, and he is the perfect prime minister."

Another official stepped forward.

Then more than a dozen officials stood up one after another, and even two generals also stood up, expressing their support for Liu An.

Liu An glanced at Yuan Xi who said with a smile on his face, seeing that he didn't speak, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt very proud.

As long as he wins the position of prime minister today, he will have the right to stand against Yuan Xi.

At that time, as long as he moves to Yuan Xi, he will be the most important person in Dahan Zhongxing.

He will definitely leave a strong mark in history!
Liu Xie was on top, seeing everyone's performance clearly.

Yuan Xi hardly reacted, but his subordinates reacted greatly, and seemed to be very confused.

Although Liu Xie didn't care about anything and didn't know many things, he still vaguely found out that things were unusual.

He subconsciously looked at Yuan Xi again.

Liu An also noticed Liu Xie's reaction, which made him very unhappy.

However, it was more about the anger towards Yuan Xi. If it wasn't that Yuan Xi was like a man on his back, how could he act like a majestic Han emperor?

This strengthened Liu An's determination to set things right.

Seeing Liu Xie's questioning gaze, Yuan Xi couldn't help being speechless, this guy really doesn't care about anything.

Otherwise, you won’t be ignorant of what you mean, but instead come to ask yourself at this time.

He turned his head and suddenly thought of a way.

"Your Majesty, I think Liu An is also suitable for the post of Prime Minister."

The ministers were in an uproar again.

Guo Tu frowned, wondering what Yuan Xi meant.

But still puzzled, he said softly, "Wen He, what do you mean, my lord?"

Jia Xu smiled, "My lord has already stated that Zhuge Liang will be the prime minister, so there should be no change."

Guo Tu's eyes flickered, "Then what is the lord's statement?"

Jia Xu lowered his voice and said, "My lord occasionally goes to court early, and this is the first morning court after returning from Jingzhou. I think I want to know who in the court does not support him."

Guo Tu pondered for a moment, then understood.

His complexion changed slightly, his eyes rolled, and he whispered, "How does Wen He think the lord will treat this Liu An and others?"

Jia Xu shrugged, saying that he didn't know.

Guo Tu secretly scolded the old fox, Jia Xu's shrewdness, he thought he was not as good as him.

Among the top ten counselors, Jia Xu is the one he admires the most.

But this guy rarely expressed his intentions, which made him very helpless.

"I also support Liu Yushi as prime minister."

Suddenly Chunyu Qiong yelled in a hurry.

Almost as soon as Yuan Xicai said a word, he followed.

"Someone agrees."

After Chunyuqiong yelled, some people in Yuan Xi's camp also expressed their agreement.

Liu Xie vaguely felt a little strange, but since Yuan Xi Yuan Xi had already agreed, he didn't think too much about it.

Just when Liu An was puzzled, he heard Liu Xie say, "Liu Qing listens to the order."

Liu An didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly knelt down, trembling with excitement.

"Let Liu An be promoted from imperial envoy doctor to prime minister."

Liu An shouted loudly: "The old minister is leading the order, the old minister must live up to His Majesty's high expectations, and work hard for His Majesty through thick and thin, and will not hesitate!"

Liu Xie said lightly: "Get up."

He felt a little dissatisfied. It was almost a certainty that Yuan Xi would become the emperor. This Liu An only thanked himself, didn't he set himself on fire?
Yuan Xi also supported you in this position of prime minister, you should thank Yuan Xicai.

The ministers congratulated one after another.

After solving this major event, the morning court is coming to an end.

After announcing the disbandment of the court, Yuan Xi turned and left.

Liu Xie wanted to ask Yuan Xi something, but seeing Yuan Xi was so resolute in leaving, he had no choice but to keep his words in his stomach.

Yuan Xi walked quickly, Chunyu Qiong and others wanted to catch up, but found that Yuan Xi had already left the palace and went home.

Chunyuqiong rubbed his head, turned around and saw Guo Tu talking with Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others in a low voice, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are all here, what are you talking about?"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I'm afraid Zhong Jian will be in trouble."

Chunyu Qiong asked puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

The three of them laughed, and Guo Tu sighed, "I thought you'd become smarter, but I didn't expect that you couldn't see through this kind of thing."

Jia Xu glanced at Guo Tu, but Guo Tu didn't look at him.

"Speak clearly." Chunyu Qiong grabbed Guo Tu's arm, "Don't worry about me."

Guo Tudao: "My lord has long said that Zhuge Liang will be the prime minister. What do you think you are in a hurry for today?"

"Aren't I the corresponding lord?"

Chunyu Qiong frowned slightly, "Why is it still wrong?"

"You are clever but you are mistaken by your cleverness. You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Jia Xu commented.

Boss Chunyuqiong said dissatisfiedly: "I just admire you people. Something has to be so profound that you can't say it directly? I'm so anxious."

The three of them smiled, and it was still Guo Tu who said, "My lord, I probably didn't expect that Liu An would think of becoming the prime minister himself."

Chunyu Qiong nodded subconsciously.

"That's the problem," Guo Tu continued, "but the lord agrees again, and there is only one reason."

He glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "The lord wants to see who is on Liu An's side, and probably wants to catch all of them."

Chunyuqiong's shoulders slumped, and he said with a bitter face, "Your lord won't doubt me, will you?"

The three laughed again, and Cheng Yu laughed so much that he held his belly and said, "You, you can. Zhong Jian, you have been with the lord for the longest time, how can you say the lord doubts you?"

Chunyu Qiong laughed immediately, "That's right, my lord knows what's on my mind."

Guo Tu laughed and said, "But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, just keep talking."

"How to say?" Chunyu Qiong was puzzled, Yuan Xi had already said it, and he just agreed, what could be wrong?
Guo Tu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The lord may just say it casually, but if you respond immediately, it may mean that you didn't understand what he meant, but you just think that since the lord said that he wanted Liu An to be the prime minister, he should be the one. "

Chunyu Qiong asked, "Then what?"

"You didn't see it, that's all."

Chunyu Qiong seemed to understand very well, and simply said: "Tell me, what will the lord think of me?"

"I miss you stupid."

Chunyuqiong blushed slightly, and snorted, "Stupid is stupid, have you never heard of stupid people having stupid clothes? People like me are safe."

Guo Tu always gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Zhong Jian's words are reasonable, but I was thinking too much."

Chunyuqiong became complacent again.

After bidding farewell to the few people, Chunyu Qiong hurried to the General's Mansion.

He is the hand of the top ten counselors, all of his subordinates are extremely smart people, how can he block a fool
"Is something wrong with you?"

Seeing Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Xi knew why he came here.

Chunyu Qiong said with a flattering smile: "My lord, in the courtroom today, I echoed you not to support that Liu An."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Then what do you mean?"

"I'm just afraid that the lord said that he supported Liu An, but no one responded, so I felt that I should respond."

"Stop talking about those vain things," Yuan Xi waved his hand, "During this time, before Zhuge Liang comes back, watch Liu An for me to see who gets closer to him."

"only!"

Chunyu Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and backed out.

Zhuge Liang came very quickly, half a month later, he was already approaching Yecheng.

"Brother-in-law, Liu An seems to want to send someone to kill Zhuge Liang."

In the study, Zhen Yao reported the news.

At this moment, Qin Wu also walked in, she glanced at Zhen Yao, and then at Yuan Xi.

"My lord, Liu An has decided to send twenty assassins to the north of the city to attack Mr. Zhuge when he ends up staying in Liu Town."

"understood."

Qin Wu hesitated, "Can this subordinate send someone to stop it?"

"No, your men don't leave the city."

Qin Wu nodded, turned and left.

Zhen Yao has met Qin Wu before Qin Wu joined Yuan Xi.

Such a beautiful woman is actually very rare. If he hadn't served under Yuan Xi's command, he would definitely find a way to marry her back.

But he dare not now.

He couldn't believe that Yuan Xi didn't touch such a beautiful woman.

The thought passed in a flash.

"Go and send people to protect Kong Ming, and catch all the people you sent to kill Kong Ming."

Zhen Yao nodded hastily.

"Bring more people, if something happens to Kong Ming, you don't have to come back." Yuan Xi said seriously.

Zhen Yao's heart tightened, and he said anxiously: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task."

Yuan Xi was still somewhat uneasy, and at this moment felt a little regretful that he didn't solve Liu An directly at that time.

Assassination pays attention to unexpectedness, if Zhuge Liang has something wrong, he will not forgive himself.

"Go, call Cao Bianjiao and Xu Chu, and go to Zhang Nan, and ask him to send a thousand soldiers to meet him. Make sure that Kong Ming is safe."

Zhen Yao's heart was shocked, and he said in a deep voice, "Wei!"

With a sullen face, Yuan Xi walked to the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion.

"Cao Bianjiao!"

Yuan Xi gave a loud shout.

"exist."

"Take someone to follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"only!"

At this time, the prime minister's mansion was full of guests.

Liu An sat on the main seat, looking at the officials, big and small, feeling happy.

He received news early in the morning that Zhuge Liang, whom Yuan Xi valued, was coming soon.

Although he didn't think so, his cautious character made him decide to kill Zhuge Liang.

Firstly, it broke Yuan Xi's arm, and secondly, he strengthened his position as prime minister.

Otherwise, once Zhuge Liang returns, the ghost knows what will happen.

However, in order to avoid being discovered, Liu An invited guests to remove his suspicion.

With these people present to testify, no matter how messed up Yuan Xi was, he would have to act with some measure.

Liu An did not doubt Yuan Xi's ability, but he believed that Yuan Xi would not be unscrupulous, and he had many concerns.

As long as he is unscrupulous, he will definitely be cast aside by the world.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
