Chapter 195 Yizhou Arrangements
The day for court session arrived again. This time, Guo Hao and Chen Xi both got up early to prepare for court session.
The internal competition caused by the surplus of talent has made the atmosphere in Luoyang really terrible. The workload, work content and work difficulty are all competitive.
The newly joined Liu Hua worked himself to unconsciousness in order not to lose to Xun Yu.
After discussing with Guo Hao, Chen Xi decided to throw some people out quickly. If they continued like this, someone would probably die suddenly.
Speaking of attending court, this was changed from once a week to once every two weeks, and it was basically used to spread some important events.
Other matters had basically been handled in the Government Affairs Hall. Matters concerning Luoyang were basically handed over to the eldest princess for review, and matters concerning other areas were basically resolved after a few people discussed them.
"Well, let's talk about the first thing first. It is about Liu Ziyang collapsing from exhaustion the day before yesterday. The general has decided to take you to the medical school for a pulse diagnosis today. This is an order." Chen Xi sighed and said, it is not a good thing to hide one's illness and avoid seeing a doctor.
Another thing is that this group of smart people look down on medicine, let alone ordinary people.
The faces of the ministers all changed when they heard this, but looking at Chen Xi's serious expression, everyone knew that this matter could not be discussed.
To be honest, if Liu Hua hadn't collapsed from exhaustion, Chen Xi would have had no idea how everyone in the Government Affairs Hall survived. It was not until Hua Tuo found all kinds of elixirs on Liu Hua's body that Chen Xi strongly recommended a physical examination for all counselors. Elixirs can kill people.
"The eldest princess and the queen mother should go as well." Guo Hao suggested as he looked at the eldest princess's slightly pale face.
"I will inform the Queen Mother." The eldest princess nodded. Since Guo Hao had spoken, there was no reason for her to disagree. She still trusted or relied on Guo Hao very much.
"That's fine, it would be nice if the doctor could take a look." Chen Xi nodded. "There is another thing. Meng Huo, the king of the southern barbarians, has intelligence that there are a large number of countries south of Yizhou. This matter is of great importance. The court wants to send a governor of Yizhou to replace Liu Zhang to guard the south."
"Prime Minister, what about the three kingdoms?" Xun Yu said seriously. Their advisers were very curious about the three kingdoms with blood feuds that Guo Hao mentioned , but Chen Xi and Guo Hao refused to say anything, and they couldn't ask indirectly, so they could only worry themselves.
"It's not the three kingdoms, but a group of new countries. Maybe they are the same as the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions, or maybe they are a big trouble." Chen Xi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
In fact, Chen Xi knew it, but he was not sure what level the country of Baicha was at, so it would be safer to send a prince over to take a look.
Moreover, Chen Xi vaguely remembered that one could run to Kushan from that place.
"Hmph, there are actually unknown forces in the south?" A cold light flashed across Cao Cao's eyes. The reason why he aspired to be the General of the Western Expedition was that he only knew that the Western Regions had not been conquered. In essence, he wanted to expand the territory. Now there are actually unknown forces in the south. How can he not be anxious?
"Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou?" Liu Bei muttered. He probably had guessed that he might be the one to replace Liu Zhang. After all, Liu Zhang was still a royal relative. How could he let someone else replace Liu Zhang? He was the only suitable person in the court.
"Who does the general plan to send to Yizhou?" Liu Bei stepped out and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Since Xuande has taken the initiative to step forward, why not let Xuande take action?" Guo Hao looked thoughtful.
"I will do my best!" Liu Bei silently accepted the task and then retreated back to the line.
"Xuan De will come to the General's Mansion to discuss in detail later." Guo Hao nodded to put an end to the matter of going south.
Cao Cao also reacted at this time and couldn't help but sigh. There was indeed no more suitable candidate than Liu Bei.
Cao Cao still admired Liu Bei very much. After all, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he had the opinion that Liu Bei and Cao Cao himself were the only heroes in the world. At that time, Liu Bei was still living under someone else's roof, but the Liu Bei in this world had risen to be on equal footing with him, so he naturally admired him even more.
Cao Cao fully recognized Liu Bei's abilities, and the other princes had the same idea. They also roughly understood the reason why Guo Hao kept them, so they all stayed at home and entertained and studied, with no intention of causing trouble at all.
So when there were court meetings, they would usually mingle among the crowd and attend court.
There is a hidden dragon in the abyss, how could they not have this patience?
Of course, this does not include Sun Ce, who was always clamoring to go out to fight. Guo Hao, who was annoyed by this, simply kicked Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to Youzhou together.
Gongsun Zan wrote letters every day asking for help. He was being oppressed by the education faction in Youzhou and it was almost suffocating. If it weren't for some blind Hu people who kept invading, he would have been able to get a lot of supplies from them. He didn't even have money to pay his subordinates' salaries.
The group of people in the education faction are really powerful. Many Hu tribes have succumbed to the power of education and devoted themselves to Liu Yu wholeheartedly.
This made Gongsun Zan begin to doubt his life. He really didn't understand why the Hu people, who had been suppressed by him with iron blood and barely surrendered, were now united under Liu Yu?
Although Gongsun Zan knew that this was absolutely inseparable from his reputation for bloody suppression, but seeing Liu Yu easily recruit hundreds of thousands of Hu people, he still had some doubts about life. Unable to cope with the situation alone, Gongsun Zan wrote nearly twenty letters and sent them to Luoyang.
He sought help from people who were also members of the Iron-Blooded Faction, including Guo Hao. After all, he was a black-hearted capitalist who traded in the Hu people. Gongsun Zan didn't believe that he was a member of the Education Faction.
In fact, it was precisely because Guo Hao was a tough guy that the educationists did not go too far. After all, spending money to buy safety was too easy for the educationists, and in the short term the educationists won.
After all, even the Song Dynasty could buy peace with money, so you can imagine how effective it would be to use sugar-coated bullets against the Hu people.
"Okay, there's a third thing." Guo Hao clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"As for Qingzhou, we will send a foreigner to lead the charge, but we need a few counselors and generals to support us. Is there anyone willing?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among the people below. They had finally accepted the fact that loyalty to the court and loyalty to the lord did not conflict, but Guo Hao started to send players out, which made them even more confused.
They were not sure what Guo Hao meant by this action. Could it be that he was looking for an excuse to deal with the players?
Don't let them just ask for their lives and then their lord is taken over.
Chen Xi noticed everyone's hesitation and immediately understood everyone's concerns. He and Guo Hao did not have such thoughts, but that was not necessarily the case in everyone's eyes. The most ruthless people are those in power.
For the sake of power, brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews can kill each other, let alone those who are considered captives.
