Time was running out, and Zhong Yao came to Deyang Hall.
"See my lord!" Zhong Yao bowed to Liu Cong.
"No courtesy, stay safe!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Recently, it was rumored that Yuan Chang met with Cao Cao's envoy Sima Yi, and Sima Yi forwarded a secret letter from Cao Cao to Yuan Chang. Originally, this was normal, but it was just a matter of public opinion, so I asked Yuan Chang to come and make it clear in person to avoid causing confusion to others. Misunderstanding!" Liu Cong didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"My lord" Zhong Yao immediately knelt down after hearing this.
"Yuan Chang, don't panic, get up and talk!" Liu Cong waved his hand to help you, "I believe you, but only if you make it clear in person can you avoid unnecessary suspicion!"
"My lord, Sima Yi has indeed seen me and advised me, but since I have surrendered to my lord, how can I go back on my promise? The King of Wei sent me a letter, but I did not open it." Zhong Yao slowly calmed down. .
"It's not opened, why?"
"Personally speaking, I was once just a subordinate of the King of Wei, not a friend of the King of Wei. There is nothing to reminisce about the past. Regarding the public, now I am under the lord's account and have nothing to do with the King of Wei, so I haven't looked at it."
"Yuan Chang is magnanimous, I believe it!"
"Thank you, lord. However, this matter must be explained face to face. I put the letter in a book of The Book of Songs. The book is on the desk in my study. My lord can send someone to get it."
"Okay!" Liu Cong nodded, feeling that since he wanted to eliminate doubts, he must resolve the matter completely, "Liu Hu and Ma Zhong, go to Zhong Mansion and get the letter!"
"No!"
After a while, Liu Hu and Ma Zhong came back and handed the letter to Liu Cong.
"Sure enough, the envelope has not been opened!" Liu Cong looked at it and handed the letter to Ma Liang and Fazheng, "You two take a look, what does Cao Mengde want to say?"
Ma Liang took the letter, opened it, read it over, and then handed it to Fazheng. After Fazheng read it, he gave it to Liu Cong. Liu Cong put the letter directly on the desk without reading it.
"Ji Chang, Xiaozhi, what did Cao Mengde say?"
"I didn't say anything. They were all irrelevant words, but" Ma Liang frowned.
"Just what?"
"It's just that there are many obliterations in the letter. I don't know what the obliterated content is?" Fazheng looked at Zhong Yao when he said these words.
"What's the erased content?" Zhong Yao was very puzzled, "Lord, can you let me read the letter?"
Liu Cong nodded.
Zhong Yao took the letter and read it carefully, his expression suddenly changed.
"My lord, I swear that I have never opened this letter why was it altered?"
"My Lord, this matter is indeed strange. Someone must have read this letter!" Ma Liang said, "Otherwise, it will not be altered!"
"Is it Sima Yi?" Zhong Yao thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, Sima Yi didn't open this letter when he handed it to me!"
Liu Cong took the letter and read it hastily. I saw that there were indeed many words written on the letter and then erased, just like a child learning to write.
"Cao Mengde is trying to alienate Han Sui again!" Liu Cong secretly laughed in his heart. In the past history, Cao Cao used this method to alienate Han Sui and Ma Chao, which caused the two to turn against each other and Ma Chao was defeated. Now due to his own appearance, history has changed. Cao Cao did not use this trick on Ma Chao, but used him on himself.
"Ha" Liu Cong burst into laughter.
"Lord" Zhong Yao didn't understand what he meant and looked panicked. He wanted to explain, but there was no reasonable reason.
"You don't have to wonder, no one has opened this letter before. This is Cao Cao's alienation plan!"
"A plan to alienate each other?"
Everyone started thinking.
Ma Liang, Fazheng, and Zhong Yao are all wise men. They were a little confused by the authorities just now because they all believed that someone had opened the letter, so they were always wondering who opened the letter? Now after Liu Cong's prodding, I immediately figured it out. It turned out that this was all done by Cao Cao.
It¡¯s a very simple tactic to alienate people, but if you don¡¯t think about it carefully, it¡¯s easy to fall into the trap!
"Thank you, Lord" Zhong Yao bowed deeply to Liu Cong.
Such a divorce plan seems simple, but it is not easy to see through. The most critical point is the trust between the principal and the minister. Without absolute trust, it is difficult to see through. Zhong Yao is a surrendered minister, but he can gain such trust from Liu Cong. How can he not be grateful?
"You have all worked hard in recent days, and the succession is getting closer and closer.As ?? is approaching, various officials and responsibilities in the palace must be worked out quickly! "
"Reporting to the lord, we have drafted a copy according to the lord's intention, and we are about to let the lord make a decision!"
"Okay, then summon all the officials to Deyang Hall and let's discuss it together!"
"No!"
Half an hour later, many of Liu Cong¡¯s important ministers all came to Deyang Hall.
Regarding the establishment of officials, Liu Cong learned from the three provinces and six ministries system after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. According to the current needs, only six ministries were set up and the work was divided. They are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites. The highest official in each department was the Shangshu, who took orders directly from Liu Cong, the king of Han.
After nearly an hour of deliberations, the officials of each ministry were basically determined.
Pang Tong was appointed as the Minister of War, Fa Zheng was appointed as the Minister of War, and Cheng Gongying was appointed as an official in the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has the right to mobilize all troops and horses, determine whether to engage in foreign war, which troops, horses and generals will participate in the war, and make detailed plans before fighting.
Ma Liang was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhong Yao was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for selecting and appointing officials from various places and conducting assessments on officials, and determines whether they will be promoted based on the assessment results.
Wang Can, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shi Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This is a very important department. In current terms, the entire agriculture, commerce, and handicraft industries are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. It can be said that he controls the economic lifeline of the Han Dynasty.
Pang Shanmin, the minister of household affairs, and Meng Jian, the assistant minister, are in charge of the population situation of various places. Liu Cong stipulated that all the population must be registered, and no official or aristocratic family was allowed to hide the population secretly. Anti-common people allocate land according to the number of people. There is a certain upper limit on the land of aristocratic families and official families. All unowned land belongs to the public and is managed by the Ministry of Households for military settlement. No waste can be allowed.
The Minister of Rites, Yi Ji, is mainly responsible for diplomacy. Liu Cong originally did not intend to transfer the Yi nationality to the Ministry of Li and the Ministry of Officials, but later he realized that the stock was indispensable.
Xiang Lang was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ma Zhong was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The previous Tingwei Mansion was cancelled. Capturing bandits and interrogating criminals. These matters used to be under the Tingwei Mansion, the Prefect's Mansion, and the County Magistrate's Mansion. Now they are all under the Ministry of Punishment.
In the past, the military and political affairs were separated, but now Liu Cong is slowly trying to make judicial independence. The ancients said that when the emperor broke the law, he was guilty of the same crime as the common people. This shows that the idea was very advanced, but it could not be implemented. Liu Cong founded the Ministry of Punishment just to let people understand that the law is greater than people.
After these officials were confirmed, Liu Ba, the governor of Jingzhou, Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, Jiang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou, Yin Liao Li of Jingzhao, and Yin Cuizhouping of Henan were appointed. Next, Liu Cong specifically proposed that Ma Tao should serve as the Luoyang order and Li Hu should serve as the city gate captain.
Ma Tao and Li Hu were the first to follow Liu Cong. Their abilities were limited and they could only be minor officials. Liu Cong transferred them back to Luoyang from Shangyong.
