Chapter 804 Clear Answer

"As early as a month ago, I made two reports to inform His Majesty of the situation in the Western Regions. In the vast Western Regions, our Ye Tianwang Empire is already half as powerful. The rapid development is rare in ancient and modern times! However, today we have to pay for it." !"

Night Breeze frowned on purpose: "Huh? Why is that?

Xun Yu took a deep breath and didn't dare to look at Ye Feng, but he made up his mind and said loudly: "The rapid development is a good thing, but the talents in the Western Regions are withered and the foundation is not stable. All countries are watching my Ye Tianwang Empire !"

"But to this day, there are only four people in the Western Regions: Zixia, Pound, Ma Tie, and Matthew. Dozens of countries have kindly invited us to continue the entry of officials from the King of Heaven. The four of us have no way to separate ourselves. It has been a long time since the delay. There are quite a few criticisms!"

"Wen Ruo, stop talking, I already know!"

Night Breeze took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, his voice was low but sonorous and forceful: "Kong Ming, do you take my words as a deaf ear? What about the officials you sent to the Western Regions?"

Kong Ming hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have been working hard to facilitate this matter, but there are no officials who are willing to go to the Western Regions, and I really have no choice!"

He Yu said softly: "Even if you are a newcomer, as long as you can represent my Ye Tianwang Empire!"

Kong Ming was slightly melancholy.

"What? Don't you have any newcomers?" Xun Or asked with a frown, his indignation palpable.

"Lord Gou, please allow me some more time, and I will help you facilitate this matter."

Kong Ming tried his best to prevaricate and prevaricate.

Xun Gu rolled his eyes, and immediately understood that there must be something hidden in it.

Zhuge Liang was an intern with him before. Xun Yu naturally knew what kind of person this guy was.

"That……"

Gou is about to agree to come down, so let's sit down for now.

However, Night Breeze suddenly became furious and snapped: "Kong Ming! You can't even handle a small personnel transfer, what else can you do? If something goes wrong in the Western Regions, I will never let you go!"

"His Majesty!"

Xun Yu hurriedly turned around, bowed his hands and said: "Kong Ming is definitely not a person who can't do things well. There may be some difficulties in it. Why don't you give him two or three days to bring back the treasures from the Western Regions and ask Your Majesty to take a look at them." .”

"Wen Ruo, stop giving me sloppy eyes!"

Ye Feng was furious. He looked around the hall at Zhong Wu, and shouted sharply: "The country is not a country for me alone, but a country for all people in the world. If the country does not exist, the general Mao will not be attached. No matter who you are, if you dare to push back and block, don't blame me for not talking about the past." feelings."

quiet!

In the hall, there was a sudden silence.

Ye Feng was able to get up, and immediately ordered: "This matter must not be done abruptly. I want to know the cause and effect, the ins and outs. Kong Ming and Wen Ruo, you two should investigate quickly. After three days, give me a clear answer."

Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu hurriedly bowed their heads and cupped their hands: "Promise!"

Night Breeze snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, turned around suddenly, and left the hall.

Xiao Huangmen raised his voice and shouted: "Retire."

All the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers slowly withdrew from the court.

Xun or was immediately surrounded by some people.

"Wen Ruo, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came back?"

"Yeah, you're really good at sneaking back alone. Tonight, come to my house and let us have a good drink."

"It's better to come to my house. I have some good wine at home, which should be drunk on such a day."

Although surrounded by everyone, Xun Or's heart was not on them at all.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was leaving straight away, Gou Yu hurriedly bowed: "Everyone, let's stop drinking for now, and it's not too late for Xun to finish his own business!"

"That's fine too!"

"No problem, just don't shirk when the time comes."

When Xun Or was about to leave, a voice sounded behind him: "Wen Ruo!"

The voice was so familiar, Xun Yu suddenly recognized it: "Feng Xiao, I don't have time now, let's..."

Guo Jia waved: "Come here!"

As a last resort, or can only go to the front: "Feng Xiao, I really have something to do."

Guo Jia: "I know, that's why I let you come here."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Guo Jia said softly: "Do you really think that Kong Ming can't even do this well? After all, it is related to the Western Regions. This kid knows the depth. Although it is difficult, it is obviously ordered by His Majesty, okay?"

Gou Yu was surprised: "Ah? Why did Your Majesty do this? Doesn't he know that the situation in the Western Regions is on fire? If there are not enough officials, how can we gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions!"

Hush!

Guo Jia hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Why are you so loud, are you afraid that others will not hear you? Let's go, let's chat while walking, and stop by my place for a drink. His Majesty rewarded me with a lot of good wine. Didn't drink, it's cheap for you kid."

"Don't worry, I won't drink a drop of your wine!" Xun You immediately refused.

"Then do you still want to listen?" Guo Jia deliberately teased him.

Xun Yu frowned and remained silent.

"Come here if you want to listen, or just come if you don't!" Guo Jia strode forward in big strides.

"Wait for me, you boy!" Xun You hurriedly chased after him, "Quickly tell me, what's going on? What is Your Majesty going to do?"

"Why are you so anxious, why don't you talk slowly!" Guo Jia took a sip of his wine and said softly, "In my opinion, things should be like this!"

"It turned out to be like this!"

Xun Yu nodded with great interest: "Your Majesty has far-sighted considerations. It is indeed necessary to completely change our talent selection system at this critical moment. In this way, there will be no Yuan family with alumni and old officials all over the world."

In fact, for a regime, there are nothing less than five kinds of power!

imperial power!

Rear right!

Sovereign power!

Phase power!

General!

If these five powers can balance each other and coexist harmoniously, the country can enjoy long-term stability.

Conversely, if the five powers are out of balance, causing any one of them to become dominant, the court will become disordered and internal fighting will intensify.

Once it is not handled properly, the country is bound to decline or even perish.

If the imperial power is too strong, it is easy to breed tyrants, such as Qin Shihuang and Sui Yangdi;

Excessive later power will lead to the monopoly of foreign relatives, such as Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty and Liang Ji in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If the patriarchal power is too prosperous, it will cause the kings to seize the throne, such as the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty.

If the power of prime ministers and generals is too strong, the ruler will be weak and the ministers will be strong, which is often a harbinger of a dynasty change, and such examples are too numerous to enumerate.

Using this benchmark to examine the Eastern Han court, isn’t it because it died in the constant struggle between the power of the queen and the power of the emperor?

In the end, the power of the prime minister was too strong, and the dynasty was directly changed into the Three Kingdoms.

But now that Night Breeze had ascended the throne, he naturally had to start thinking about these things.

Preventing the women in the harem from interfering in government affairs was one of Night Breeze's methods of controlling the harem.

In addition, Night Breeze stipulated that the eunuch's position should not be higher than that of the Zhongchang servant, which was to control the power of the eunuch and consolidate the imperial power.
