After the discussion was over, Mi Huang signaled with his eyes, and Shao Xun understood and stayed with him.
"Your Majesty." After they were almost gone, Mi and Shao came forward to pay their respects.
"What's the matter?" Sima Yue glanced at him and asked.
At this moment, he was upset and wanted to vent his anger on his concubine, but the two people had different identities, so he sat there patiently.
Mi Huang is the "general" of the Yue government, and his family is also very powerful in the East China Sea, so he still needs to look good on him.
Shao Xun is the "brave general" of the Yue Prefecture. He can defeat the enemy and seize the flag. He is extremely brave. He is also suitable for doing dirty work, so he must be well won over.
No one can succeed casually. The sacrifice for the sake of business is too great.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that since the Han Dynasty, you have had many extraordinary scholars. Their names and deeds are respected, and they insist on correct opinions. As a result, the reputation of the Qing Dynasty has become higher and higher, and Cao Wei relied on them to achieve hegemony." Mi Huang said: "Your Majesty captured Sima Yi. He has the power to bring things right and restore order, but now the shogunate has many empty seats, which is quite unsightly..."
"Okay." Sima Yue waved his hand and said, "Who do you want to recommend?"
"It is Yu Liang and Yu Yuangui who were conquered by the king before. He is only sixteen years old. He is upright, simple, knowledgeable and talented. He is also known as filial to relatives. Everyone who heard about it sighed with emotion." Mi Huang said: "Such a virtuous person." I really can't bear to leave this talent outside, so I ask Sikong to recruit it."
Sima Yue hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, he was a little unhappy when Yu Liang rejected him for the first time. Now he is eager to accept Sima Yi's shogunate legacy, and is not so enthusiastic about Yu Liang. However, since Mi Huang mentioned it, he still had to give him face, so he nodded and asked, "Who does Zihui think is the best person to invite?"
In Sima Yue's shogunate, to put it simply, the highest-ranking staff member was the military chief - the military chief means military adviser. The name was changed to avoid taboos.
As the de facto leader of the shogunate, the Military Affairs Bureau was busy with affairs, so the Military Counselor Sacrificial Liquor was set up to assist in handling general affairs paperwork. The Military Counselor Sacrificial Liquor was originally called "Military Advisor Sacrificial Liquor", but was also renamed to avoid taboos.
There is also a Chang Shi and a Sima each - if the Sima alone is too busy, then the left Sima and the right Sima will be placed, with the former as the leader and the latter as the auxiliary.
There are also two people who work as lieutenants, six people who join the army, one person who is the chief bookkeeper, one person who oversees the record office, one person each from the west and east pavilions, one person each from Cao Yuan in the west and east, one person who is a supervisor, and various Cao Lingshi, etc. Ten positions are still available, but now there are many vacancies.
"There is still a shortage of sacrificial wine in the East Pavilion, why not treat it like this?" Mi Huang suggested.
The more Sima thought about it, he actually already had a candidate for this vacancy, but if he had an official position, he might not be willing to come. After a moment of silence, he said: "Then let's hire him for this position."
There are two wine offerings in the shogunate, the west pavilion is the main one, and the east pavilion is the supplementary one. These two are actually one-size-fits-all positions with no specific responsibilities. They have to help whenever there is a shortage of people, and they often go out to "run business", which can be described as hard work. But correspondingly, it is also conducive to inquiring about information, establishing good relations with various departments, and at least becoming familiar with each other.
This is actually the purpose of Mi Huang asking Yu Liang to serve as a wine sacrifice in the East Pavilion. His duty as a supervisor will be relieved. He cannot be blind or deaf in the future. He must have an eye, and that is Yu Liang.
Shao Xun felt a little emotional that it was too easy for a child from a noble family to become an official, even though he was only an official in the shogunate. But if he is appreciated by his master and recommended, it is not impossible for him to serve as a court official. Isn't it better than him risking his life to stand out?
"How is Xu Lang?" Sima Yue suddenly asked: "Someone please ask me to come here. There happens to be a vacancy in the history of the sect. Can we arrange it?"
Mi Huang and Shao Xun were overjoyed. Is there any unexpected gain?
The "prestige" of the gatekeeper Shi's mansion is actually the head concierge. If Xu Lang could be a gatekeeper, he would be "Uncle Xu, the concierge".
But joking aside, this is a serious shogunate with many subordinates. When guests with status come to your door, you should report them immediately, guide the guests, and make a good show. This is a good starting point for officialdom.
Xu Lang is a boy who is nineteen years old this year. When he was in Piyong, he was aloof and arrogant at first and liked to show off. But after several months of brutal fighting, the young man stopped showing off and became closer to Mi Huang and Shao Xun. Although not as good as Yu Liang, he was pretty good.
"This man is handsome and well-educated..." Mi Huang praised him as usual, and then said, "If he were to be a sect leader, he would be able to greatly enhance Sikong's dignity."
"Then let him be the gatekeeper." Sima Yue did not hesitate and made a decision on the spot.
The Xu family of Donghai is also a local Tu tribe, so it is completely normal to win over their tribe members. It's just a small history of sect order, so I'll give it to you. If someone from the Xu family comes to apply for it in the future, they will have to arrange positions.
The Xu family of Donghai may not be as good as the Yu family of Yingchuan in terms of local quality, but in Sima Yue's heart, the people of Donghai are reliable and should be reused!
Mi Huang and Shao Xun were also relatively happy.
Yu Liang served as the Dongge sacrificial wine, and Xu Lang served as the gatekeeper. The news between them in the shogunate became increasingly smooth, and they would have more contacts in the future to maintain this relationship.
At every stage of life, you will experience some things and meet some people. If we can make good use of it and accumulate more, it will be beneficial to the next stage of development.
Shao Xun can only get to know ordinary families in Donghai and branches of the Yu family in Yingchuan, but that's enough.
After coming to Luoyang for two years, I counted carefully and found that the capital was actually quite a lot, although Director Wang and his ilk probably looked down upon it.
****
Outside Jin Yong City, a large group of sergeants suddenly poured in.
As the commanding heights of Luoyang City, Jinyong City's defense facilities are very complete.
The city wall is high and thick, with complete defenses. It is divided into three parts that are connected as a whole, so it can be resisted step by step.
There are also warehouses and water sources in the city, which can be used for long-term defense.
Every time Luoyang City fell in history, Jin Yong City was the last to be conquered. Even after the overall destruction of Luoyang, Jinyong City still existed and served as the residence of governors and generals of various regimes that occupied Luoyang many times.
But the gates of such a strong city were now open, and countless soldiers from Guanzhong swarmed in and rushed directly to the place where Sima Yi was detained.
Sima Yi has been deprived of his title and is now a commoner. He has no ability to resist at this time. After being caught by the Western soldiers, he was taken directly to the square outside the city and tied to a pyre.
Zhang Fang lit the firewood himself and laughed heartily when he saw Sima Yi howling miserably in the raging fire.
All the defenders of Jinyong City were in tears, and even the soldiers in Guanzhong couldn't bear it and turned their heads one after another.
Zhang Fang disagreed and forced everyone to watch Sima Yi's tragic scene before his death.
He is very happy now and feels like his great revenge has been avenged.
Sima Yi led the imperial army to defeat him, and he was disgraced. He lost 20,000 of his 70,000 soldiers and suffered severe injuries, and the whole army almost collapsed.
How can we not avenge this?
"If you want to share the food, go pick it up from the firewood pile while it's hot, otherwise it will burn." Zhang Fang pushed the few military officers around him and said.
The military academies looked embarrassed.
They were eating human flesh, but it was dried meat that had been picked, pickled, and dried. Who could eat Sima Yi when he was burned like this?
"Huh! Still picky." Zhang Fang said displeased.
Everyone changed their color.
Zhang Fang was moody and often killed people. If he made him unhappy, he might be tied up and thrown into the pyre to keep Sima Yi company.
"Haha, look at you guys, you're just trying to scare me." Zhang Fang laughed again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and managed to laugh a few times, but also felt a little angry. Is it fun to make fun of people like this?
"Kill Sima Yi, capture another group of slaves, and then retreat." Zhang Fang took a spear and poked at the firewood pile, and then said with satisfaction: "This ghost place in Luoyang doesn't even have food. Sima Gai We finally sent a batch to the city, but it was handed over to Sima Yue, and we didn't have a share. On the way back, I'm afraid we have to eat meat. The old rule is to eat the men first. The women will be happy for the brothers, and finally we will eat them. eat."
"Promise." All the generals responded one after another.
Although the war is over, new changes have occurred in the situation.
Sima Hui, the governor of Xuchang and the king of Fanyang, must have hooked up with Sima Yue. He openly supported it and sent a batch of supplies to Beijing, which solved Luoyang's urgent need.
Other states and counties, after seeing that Luoyang had decided the winner, also began to send money and food that had been owed for a long time. After all, the remaining power of the Jin Dynasty was still there.
The first to take action was Sima Zhu, the governor of Xuzhou and King of Dongping. The first batch of supplies was already on the way.
This guy is a cunning old man with no courage. He will support whoever wins. If he shows signs of weakness, he will immediately turn his back on others.
Yangzhou, Qingzhou and other places also began to transport supplies, and even Jizhou, which was once an enemy, released the withheld supplies.
Luoyang seemed to have become peaceful overnight and was about to return to its former peace and prosperity.
Zhang Fang is cruel, but he is not a fool.
The more peaceful Luoyang is, the more eye-catching he will be and the more likely he will be targeted. It just so happens that the imperial court is trying to bribe you with an official position, so why don't you just give up and accept it as soon as you see fit? Furthermore, the battle in Guanzhong is still fierce, and the King of Hejian is fighting very hard. He has already sent envoys to ask for some troops and horses, so there is nothing to hesitate. Let the whole army be dispatched.
The fire was raging and black smoke was billowing.
The last capable king of the Jin Dynasty was executed in the fire in a very cruel way.
Black clouds and mist rose up and gradually spread, seemingly covering Luoyang and even the entire world.
Beasts roam the world.
Rotten trees stand above the temple.
There are wars everywhere in Kyushu, and tragedies are being staged one after another.
Luoyang took a breather, but perhaps it was just a period of oppressive tranquility before a bigger storm came.
