Chapter 4273: my choice

"Is there a problem with Weishuo?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Yan and said.

Liu Yan quickly signed the signature and took a deep breath, "I report Situ Lu Zijing, forming a party for personal gain, perverting the law for personal gain, and stealing the country's public tools for private use!"

Chen Xi glanced at Lu Su, Lu Su was expressionless, while Liu Yan saw the situation, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, sure enough, it wasn't just Lu Su? It's over!

"Sit down, sit down, it scares you." Chen Xi said with a smile, while Liu Yan was half sitting on a chair beside him, dripping with cold sweat.

"What's the matter with the monitoring system?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Yan and asked.

Liu Yan was in a cold sweat and didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xun Yue and Mi Zhu had already rushed over at this time. As for Cui Yan, Cui Yan was not in Chang'an, so he didn't come over.

"What's the matter with the supervision system?" Chen Xi looked at Xun Yue and asked.

Xun Yue looked at Lu Su with a complicated expression, "Doctor Liu was the first to discover that Situ was forming a clique."

"Weishuo, tell me, what's the situation." Chen Xi looked at Liu Yan and asked.

Liu Yan recounted everything tremblingly, some places were a bit upside down, but all the smart people present understood what was going on.

Liu Yan is considered to be the leader of celebrities. Although his own ability is not strong, he has friends all over the world. Chen Xi has added supervisory responsibilities to Liu Yan since the fifth year of Yuanfeng, and Liu Yan also worked hard. He is not capable, but he works hard. Still guaranteed.

Now that Chen Xi has added a burden to him, Liu Yan will work hard.

However, sometimes things are unexpected. Liu Yan's monitoring system was the first to discover Lu Su's problems. When they found out, Liu Yan was almost scared to death.

Because Lu Su was Liu Yan's immediate boss, he was conducting surveillance and found out his own boss. Liu Yan's first reaction was that the investigation was wrong, and his second reaction was that it was impossible.

After all, Lu Su's performance all the time is worthy of other people's trust. In addition, Lu Su's status is really high. If he really wants to be ranked among the twelve elders, Chen Xi is the first, Lu Su is definitely second, and the others The kind you don't have to grab.

Therefore, after Liu Yan found out something, he quickly sealed it up, and then more cautious professionals checked it out.

Even if there is no clear evidence, Liu Yan also realizes that his immediate boss, Situ Lusu must have a problem, but Lu Su has a problem, and the only people Liu Yan can report on are Chen Xi and Liu Bei. , Tingwei is responsible for Situ.

The problem is that to report to Chen Xi and Liu Bei, Liu Yan really lacks confidence in this matter, and Liu Yan also has problems with his own abilities, so Liu Yan chooses to wait and see first to collect evidence.

During this process, Liu Yan noticed the problem of Jizhou's series connection, and then Liu Yan found a reason to report to the Government Affairs Office.

In essence, Liu Yan's behavior was actually to draw a big case to attract everyone's attention, and then when digging deeper, he wanted others to discover Lu Su's problems by themselves.

There is no problem with this idea, but Liu Yan never thought that the eucalyptus itself was big enough, so big that the government affairs department didn't actually think about how Liu Yan encountered such an accident in the end?

At that time, Jizhou was almost closed, and it was impossible to go to Chang'an to be a fool anyway, but Liu Yan met a fraudster who could not appear in Chang'an.

In fact, this is a reason, a reason Liu Yan found to report.

However, the report failed this time. What's worse, Liu Yan's report directly killed Guo Jia's deputy, and Li You nailed it to the chair on the spot.

Does Liu Yan still dare to dig?

Don't say that Liu Yan's ability is far inferior to Guo Jia's, even if Liu Yan has Guo Jia's ability, it would be embarrassing to be in Liu Yan's current position.

After all, for Liu Yan, it is equivalent to not revealing the evidence that his boss has problems, first proving that there is a problem with the internal control Guo Jia, and Li You seems to have eliminated the evidence.

It’s okay to do this, of course, it’s as if you don’t know what, and let it go, after all, Liu Yan’s upper limit of ability is placed here, and it is unrealistic to ask too much.

This is not the worst, the worst is the follow-up, after Chen Xi went to the Ganges, Liu Yan got a distorted legal information about the bureaucratic system from Yang Dan.

No way, in order to show Xin Xianying what it means to be a hard-working genius, the stud family, betting that the big problem in political science is not to analyze the operation of the bureaucracy system, or the lack of supervision system structure, and then use resources to investigate first.

We all know the results later, the political science really took this exam, and then Yang Dan got a second place in the exam, and was tricked by Li You to become Zhangye County Sheriff.

At that time, Li You commented that Yang Dan's major political strategy was not only in-depth thinking, but also on-the-spot investigation, which was much better than he thought.

In fact, Li You's judgment was completely correct, and Yang Dan really went on a field trip.

As a free man, Yang Dan went to the field to investigate, because he was pure and new, so it would not arouse any suspicion. However, Yang Dan met Liu Yan, a famous scholar, and told Liu Yan what he didn't understand.

Still the same sentence, even if Liu Yan is a waste, he is still struggling in the bureaucratic system, talking to people, talking nonsense when he sees people, and the veteran who has firmly secured the position of two thousand stones, even if he is weaker than Chen Xi and the group, but at least Know what a normal bureaucracy should look like.

Yang Dan didn't feel anything when he said it, but Liu Yan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and when he turned around and waited for Yang Dan to leave, Liu Yan felt that everyone was a little chilly.

"Is there anything else Zijing wants to say?" Chen Xi half-closed his eyes and said with a sigh, "I know you are the weakest link, but at this point, that document can only guarantee your life Now, do you have any excuse?"

Lu Su shook his head and took off his hair crown.

"We agreed to help the people of the world to fight together." Chen Xi picked up Lu Su's hair crown. Back then, the two of them wore the hair crown without restraint, bragging and farting together. At that time, everyone present except him and Lu Su , and there is only Mi Zhu.

So Chen Xi gave Lu Su the document early, and put Mi Zhu firmly under his own name, just to prevent the two people from having an accident one day.

Although Chen Xi knew very well that as long as Lu Su was not under his command and was no longer a complete subordinate, something would happen one day, but when this day came, Chen Xi was still very tired.

"That's right, it was agreed to mass-produce resourceful people." Lu Su said with some emotion, "I think it was really youthful loyalty back then."

"I did it, at least I'm on the right track, and the common people are on it." Chen Xi looked at Lu Su and said, "You have many opportunities to turn around, and the official document is always in your hands. It can be used at any time, why must it be delayed until it is hard to return."

"If it's really hard to get back, I should have torn up that official document." Lu Su said softly, "I took out that official document several times and looked at the name I signed on it. To be honest, if it is now If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to sign it."

"During the snow disaster the year before last, Sangong's call to resign was actually a test for me, right?" Chen Xi sighed and said, she didn't realize it before, but now that she knows it, she realizes it.

"Yes, by the way, it also proves that I, Situ, is actually quite important." Lu Su nodded and said, "Throughout the year of Yuanfeng, those who can speak out about Sangong's resignation at least know that the celestial phenomena are in your hands. , and called for my resignation, of course to test you."

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, and then returned to normal, meaningless.

"From the very beginning, there are only two choices. One is that we will continue to use education and ranks to fill the bureaucracy, so that the three items of public affairs can be balanced. The other is the direction you want to go now." Chen Xi said rather sighingly, "Zijing, you should know how disappointed I am."

"Actually, Zi Chuan, you ignore people's hearts." Lu Su sighed and said, "I actually don't want to. Who else do you think is behind me besides the aristocratic family?"

"There are also emerging powerful families, those who hope to merge with the ancient giants." Chen Xi said through gritted teeth.

"Who are those people, Zi Chuan, do you know?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi glanced at the people around him, and finally landed on Lu Su again.

"It's not just that, you actually see farther and know more, but you shrink back at this point." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi, and Zhuge Liang and the others looked extremely complicated.

"Kong Ming, after I'm in prison, be careful when you sit in this position." Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "They can't do anything about Zichuan, but they can do something about us. Occasionally, you should also pay attention to your Zhuge family and the others." Your wives."

Zhuge Liang's face darkened when he heard the words. He had noticed it before, but he hadn't realized that the problem would be so big, unless there was a deeper force behind it.

"Feng Xiao, pay attention to the range of your son's friends. Don't be like Gongheng, who is just one step into the trap of other families." Lu Su didn't care about Zhuge Liang's face, turned to look at Guo Jia and said, "If you have more time Be mindful of the needs of the military behind you."

Chen Xi's face darkened, while Zhuge Liang's expression changed slightly.

"Wenru, don't use the method of purging at every turn. In this era, the power of all levels of the country far exceeds that of the previous era. Your method is not easy to use. In fact, even if you send troops here, you will not be able to use it. You can't get rid of me." Lu Su looked at Li You and said sincerely.

Li You nodded with a heavy expression, he has already realized how huge the power behind Lu Su is.

"Zi Chuan, I think you should already know how many people are behind me." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and said calmly.

"Just to take a gamble and eat everything I created?" Chen Xi said with a sigh.

"Isn't that enough?" Lu Su said calmly.

"It's really hard to fill your desires." Chen Xi said with a complicated mood.

"If you have a chance, just give it a try. If it works, you will compromise, right." Lu Su sighed and said, "Although I think you will definitely not compromise, but they think you will, to be honest, when it comes to me There is no need for other embellishments, but they do."

"Why do you always have the meaning that you are willing to do so?" Chen Xi looked at Lu Su and asked in confusion.

"It's not too much resistance. Since you've been tied up, it's good to challenge you once. At least it can make those people give up completely." Lu Su said calmly, and Chen Xi looked at Lu Su more and more complicated.

Seeing that Chen Xi opened his mouth several times but did not make a sound, Lu Su interrupted Chen Xi's voice, "Don't say it, this is my own choice. In fact, the reason of benevolence and filial piety is only one of them. The real reason is because of myself. I really want to refuse." , can still be refused.”

Can you refuse? Maybe, but it was impossible for Lu Su to refuse his grandmother.

The Lu family in Jiangbei is just a powerful landlord, and such a family has a 32-year-old Sangong. There is no possibility of this level of progress in the officialdom. The rest is to strengthen yourself, which is very realistic. It is also very practical.

Lu Su's grandmother can only say that she made the normal choice of a powerful landlord, and Lu Su accepted this choice, so everything that followed.

"How many troops are there?" Chen Xi asked after being silent for a while.

"As much as you have paid, but feel that you don't have enough returns, and feel that you are not as good as those aristocratic families who founded the country, that's as much as you can." Lu Su didn't give an answer, but he gave an answer that made Chen Xi and others think. .

"Army?" Chen Xi sighed.

"This word is not a problem." Lu Su instantly understood the meaning.

"The army is the army of the country, not the army of individuals." Chen Xi said seriously.

"But Jiang Dong's example will ruin a lot of things." Lu Su said flatly.

"It's understandable." Chen Xi nodded bitterly.

Lu Su's situation has made Chen Xi understand a lot. Unlike the later generations, the Han Dynasty did not have a clear civil and military force. The twelve elders actually had their own military forces behind them. The difference lies in whether they are closely integrated.

Lu Su is equivalent to a general voice of many forces who are dissatisfied with the current situation.

Still the same sentence, I dare not hate Chen Xi, so I can only choose a roundabout way.

"Unfortunately, I don't want to compromise at all this time." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Zhongyu, send Zijing and Bo Ning to the imperial prison, let the palace guards divide into five hundred people to guard the imperial prison, and the others sign the official document , Let’s check step by step, I just want to see if the bureaucratic system can still work well.”

"A lot of people will die, and a lot of official positions will be vacated. The bureaucratic system has only undergone two changes before. This time, there will be a large-scale loss. What should you do?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and said, this is is the core of the problem.

Just like the aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty disgusted Li Er, the hard power is indeed not as good as Li Er, but if you want to govern the place, you must use these people. Without these people, the world will not be able to run.

That's why it was launched at this time, because it was only at this time that Chen Xi needed them. After two rounds of turmoil in the bureaucratic system, there was already a gap in the officials. If there was another wave of bigger ones, there would be trouble, and this was forcing Chen Xi to compromise.
