When Guo Jia heard Lu Xuan's inquiry, he did not answer directly. He said: "Your Majesty arranges for someone to be responsible for the Western Region. No matter who it is, I have no objection. I believe that the person selected by your Majesty will definitely be qualified."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Don't be careless, who do you think is suitable?"
Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty, I know the situation in the Western Regions quite well, and I also know the situation in Tianzhu because I follow Your Majesty. However, in the Ming Dynasty, I am not familiar with the personnel under His Majesty's command."
"The people I know are Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu. However, these people sit in the center and have high authority. They are suitable for taking charge of the rear. They cannot come to the front."
"So, I really don't understand."
Guo Jia looked apologetic and said: "I am incompetent, please forgive me."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "You really don't touch anything."
Guo Jia solemnly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't know anything, I really don't understand you. Your Majesty understands me. I always do things as I should do without any scruples."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "That's all, you go down and rest, I will think about it myself."
"I resign!"
Guo Jia cautiously stood up and left.
He was actually very familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but there were too many talents in the Ming Dynasty. If he recommended this person, he might offend other people.
He actually has no specific position and is considered a member of the Governor's Office.
Such a status is not suitable for recommendation.
The less trouble, the better.
Lu Xuan thought for a while and arranged for someone to notify Jia Xu to come to discuss the matter.
Jia Xu came alone, bowed and took his seat.
Lu Xuan did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Wenhe, just now Fengxiao said that Lan's City has been stabilized. But he thinks that in order to further successfully seize Tianzhu, Xun Yu can be sent to the front line to sit in Lan's City so that we can follow the advancement. You Who do you think can take up the post after Xun Yu is transferred?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually not complicated."
Lu Xuandao: "Where is your candidate?"
Jia Xu said: "The governors of various states in the Ming Dynasty are all top-notch talents. Lu Su, the governor of Qingzhou, Xu Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, Lu Meng, the governor of Jingzhou, as well as other Jushou, Tian Feng and others, or talents from other states, are all suitable of."
"I believe that your Majesty will not make a mistake even if you draw lots with your eyes closed."
"There are plenty of talents, and we can arrange whatever we want."
As Lu Xuan's confidant, Jia Xu is now the Crown Prince and Tutor, so there will be no adjustments and he will speak more directly.
Lu Xuan said: "It is indeed easy to arrange the person in charge of the Western Region, but what if we consider long-term talent training?"
Jia Xu rolled his eyes and thought in his heart.
Long-term talent development?
This means that Lu Xuan does not want to arrange for frontier officials such as provincial governors, and these people still stay in local posts. In addition, we also need young people, otherwise it will not be cultivating talents.
Jia Xu was thinking in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He thought of a candidate and said, "Does Your Majesty plan to arrange for Zhuge Liang to take up the post?"
"Those who know me are Wenhe."
Lu Xuan laughed and said in a deep voice: "My plan is to transfer Zhuge Liang from the country to serve in the Western Regions. He previously served as the governor of Danyang and had considerable political achievements. Now it is reasonable to further promote him from the post of governor. "
"It's just that Zhuge Liang is too young."
"If you want to transfer him to the Western Region, it is easy to encounter resistance, and many people will be dissatisfied."
"How do you think we can satisfy everyone?"
Lu Xuan asked the question.
Lu Xuan has made arrangements for the selection. How to implement this order so that Zhuge Liang's transfer is logical and everything is within a reasonable range needs to be considered.
Jia Xu's face froze for a moment.
Somewhat stunned.
The emperor gave him another problem.
Things are so difficult.
Jia Xu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it."
Lu Xuan said: "Just think about it."
Jia Xu twirled the sparse beard under his chin, his expression lost in thought, and he quickly turned his brain to think about Zhuge Liang's maneuvers. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a solution."
Lu Xuan asked: "What can I do?"
Jia Xu replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Western Region is a bitter and cold land. Let's just say that the place is difficult and the people are poor. It is not easy to govern the place. Naturally, not many people have expectations. After explaining this situation and transferring Zhuge Liang, it will naturally be There’s no pressure.”
Lu Xuan said: "I have thought about it, but it is still not appropriate."
Jia Xu said: "Suppress Zhuge Liang and transfer him to serve as the governor of the Western Regions. He will temporarily act as the governor and take charge of the Western Regions. Although he is not the governor of a state, he has the right to be the governor of a state. In this way, although Zhuge Liang was promoted, he did not complete in one step."
He looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, you are actually thinking too much."
Lu Xuan said: "What do you mean?"
Jia Xu explained: "Who dares to comment on who your Majesty wants to appoint? With just one word from your Majesty, Zhuge Liang's adjustments will be arranged."
Lu Xuan said: "The arrangement is not difficult. Once Zhuge Liang is governing the Western Region, it will be troublesome if something goes wrong. My plan is to assign another powerful person to assist Zhuge Liang. Wen He, who do you think is suitable?"
Jia Xu's cheeks twitched.
He felt that this was the emperor's purpose.
The emperor took care of Zhuge Liang in all aspects, and considered and planned all aspects.
Not only promoted, but also protected Zhuge Liang.
However, when arranging assistance for Zhuge Liang, he must arrange capable people.
This is something that offends people again.
Zhuge Liang's status is very special. He is one of the first disciples of the emperor and the one who won the leadership.
Lu Xuan asked people to assist Zhuge Liang and arranged for people with high qualifications, which would easily lead to problems because the other party might look down on Zhuge Liang. If there are people who are not qualified enough and capable enough, it is better not to arrange them.
At least he has enough ability, but lacks qualifications. This is a difficult choice.
Moreover, it is easy to offend people.
too difficult.
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, I don't have a suitable candidate for the moment."
Lu Xuandao: "Wen He, think about it carefully."
Jia Xu used his brain, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate."
Lu Xuan asked: "Who does Wen He think is the most suitable?"
Jia Xu replied: "Reporting to your majesty, when you first established your base in Yangzhou, there is a saying that there are two Zhang Zhao in Yangzhou, one is Zhang Zhao, and the other is Zhang Hong. Zhang Zhao followed your majesty early on and made great achievements. Now he is Prime Minister of the Cabinet.”
"On the contrary, Zhang Hong didn't become an official at first, but later he wanted to become an official but acted on his arrogance, so he never became an official."
"I know this person, he has talent and ability."
"The strategy is enough."
"Zhang Hong's escort for Zhuge Liang is definitely enough. If Zhang Hong is allowed to assist Zhuge Liang, there will definitely be no problem in governing the Western Regions."
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright. What he was worried about was that Zhuge Liang had problems in the Western Regions and needed help.
After much thought, there was no suitable candidate.
Jia Xu solved the problem. He smiled broadly and said, "In that case, Xizhou is established in the Western Regions. Zhuge Liang will be the chief historian and Zhang Hong will be the chief secretary. They will assist Zhuge Liang in handling Xizhou's government affairs and governing the place. Wenhe, you draft the edict. , pass it back to the court and hand it over to the cabinet for arrangement."
"I obey!"
Jia Xu agreed and hurried to make arrangements.
