Xun Yu smiled and said, "I have a plan to make His Highness the prince hold the power of a state, and it will not violate the ancestral system."

Lu Zhi asked, "I don't know what good strategies do Wen Ruo (Xun Yu's name is written as a preface)?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Although the prince cannot be a pastor of a state, if you ask an old minister who is respected to serve as a pastor of the state, and your prince leads a county to self-government, there are only three people in the world to choose from, and Mr. Lu is the most suitable person."

Empress Dowager Dong smiled and said, "Dr. Xun and my grandson have made the same plans, which is really a hero who sees the same views!"

Xun Yu smiled but said nothing. Empress Dowager Dong was very proud and didn't seem to be fake. She secretly lamented that she was over thirty years old and believed that she was a king and a master. It was normal for her to make such a judgment. However, Liu Xie was only six years old, and his ability to identify and use people well has already shown that she would be a wise king in the future. It would be a pity if she was not an emperor.

Lu Zhi was straightforward and resolute, and he was always ruthless and polite. Moreover, the court was long under the power of eunuchs, and his great ambitions were rarely realized. It would be better to go to a state to serve as the governor of the state and assist Liu Xie. He did not refuse at the moment and said: "The old minister should be loyal and do his best to protect the country for His Highness."

Although Empress Dowager Dong knew that Liu Xie was smart, this matter was quite a bit serious. She had to experience it herself and consider everything carefully without any worries. She asked the two: "Where do you two think can be a place to protect the country?"

Lu Zhi said: "There are two wealthy states in the world. If you want to choose one as the foundation, Jizhou is the best and Xuzhou is the next."

Xun Yu said: "According to my opinion, Jingzhou is the best place for tigers and wolves. Although His Highness is in charge, local warlords dare not move an inch of land. However, there are many Yellow Turban remnants in Heishan area of ​​Jizhou. Xuzhou is located on a plain and a strategic location, not a good place to defend. Although Jingzhou is not a rich place, it produces a lot of money and grain. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, refugees from the north have gone south and the population has increased. If the governance is done properly, it can be regarded as the best blessed land in the country within three years. However, Jingzhou also has defects, and the defects are so great that it is difficult to make up for when compared with Jizhou."

Lu Zhi had a lot of opinions about what Xun Yu said about the best Jingzhou. When he heard him talk about the shortcomings, he not only nodded, but also felt that Xun Yu was indeed a talented man, saying, "Does Wen Ruo think that Jingzhou has no soldiers?"

Xun Yu said: "That is, if we consider the overall planning of military, horse and money, what Mr. Lu said is indeed the best place. After all, bandits can be surrendered and suppressed, which is a problem that can be solved. However, the lack of military, horses in Jingzhou is indeed a fundamental problem and it is difficult to solve."

Lu Zhi said: "Wenruo is consistent with what I am thinking, then why does Wenruo call Jingzhou the best?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Although there are no soldiers in Jingzhou, the northern refugees can be strong and powerful, and Youzhou can also have soldiers and horses."

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You know that I have a disciple Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, so I am confident. However, this son has always been arrogant, and I am afraid that he will not achieve great things."

Xun Yu said: "Youzhou is not stable. Gongsun Zan wants to attack the foreign tribes, and Liu Yu wants to be gentle and help the foreign tribes. The two have been in conflict for a long time. One or two people can be transferred to Youzhou to take charge of government affairs and be responsible for money, horses, food and grass to control the situation."

Lu Zhi shook his head gently: "There is no one in Gongsun Bogui's eyes. If I don't go with him, how can anyone else be restrained?"

Xun Yu said: "In the past, when Gongsun Zan was studying in the capital and became a teacher, he was familiar with me and had many contacts. Liu Yu had a good relationship with my father Xun Fu. He had been in correspondence for many years. Lu went south to Jingzhou to assist His Highness the prince, and I went north to Youzhou to get a surprise weapon for His Highness."

Queen Mother Dong said: "This method is really good. It's a pity that Dr. Xun cannot go south with Xie'er. At that time, Duke Lu is busy with military and political affairs. Who will guide Xie'er to study?"

Xun Yu said: "There are so many famous scholars in Jingzhou. Sima Zheng was also a sacrificial scholar at Yingchuan Academy in the past. Now at Kaishuijingzhuang, Jingzhou, the disciples trained may not be worse than Yingchuan Academy. Your Highness can study in Shuijingzhuang, take the opportunity to make friends with talented people in Jingzhou to establish a foundation for the future of the country's great cause. Moreover, I have a nephew Xun You, who is older than me, and has many talent and intelligence, so I can follow Your Highness south. Now Yingchuan is difficult to recover for ten years and is turbulent after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Since I serve Your Highness, my Xun Family should also follow you. In the near future, I will persuade the elders in my family to divide the Xun Family into two. My father and uncle Xun Jing, and I will take people to Youzhou. My uncle Xun Tao, Xun Wang, Xun Tan and my nephew Xun You will follow His Highness south to Xiangyang."

Liu Xie hurriedly bowed to Xun Yu, which made Xun Yu very frightened. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Our Xun family has served as officials for all generations. Since Emperor Gaozu, he has served as Minister of State for three generations. He has been favored by the Han Dynasty. More than a hundred people in his clan are not worthy of repaying the death of more than a hundred people in his clan. Today, the situation is in chaos. The princes from all over the country have used the Yellow Turbans as the title and vigorously filled their troops and stored food. The momentum is especially strong for the seven kings of the past. Although His Highness is young in the grade of the prince, he has the ability to know people and use them well, study hard and read, and protect the ambition of the Han Dynasty to revitalize the country. Our Xun family should be loyal to the death."

Empress Dowager Dong felt relieved. Seeing Lu Zhi bowing his head and saying nothing, she sneered: "Mr. Lu is deeply trusted by the Ai family and Xieer. I wonder if he is willing to contribute to the Ai family."

After she said this, she realized that it was wrong. The Xun family had great achievements, and they had the intention of protecting the country and selfishness of protecting the family, so they were divided into two places, echoing the north and south. Lu Zhi was a great scholar in the country and a person who had forgotten his family. He was not as worried about Emperor Ling like this. In any case, as long as Emperor Ling didn't speak, Lu Zhi couldn't express his opinion.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dong smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, the emperor is my son, and he loves Xie'er better than that Liu Bian. Moreover, Xie'er's talent is far better than Liu Bian. I live in the palace and know that the world is coming. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, Liu Bian can be forced to be the king. If it is in a chaotic era, it is better to support Xie'er and protect our Han Dynasty than to do so. What does Lu Gong think?"

Lu Zhi said: "Although what I see and think is far from being written, I have a judgment on the future chaos. As the Empress Dowager said, Your Highness Xie'er does have the talent and mind of Emperor Guangwu. Since I am the humerus of the Han Dynasty, I should serve Your Highness the Prince. However, many official positions are beyond our control. How to control Jingzhou is a troublesome matter. Rong Chen thinks about it for a few more days."

Empress Dowager Dong stamped her feet and said, "This confused emperor, all officials need money when taking office. Even if I want to arrange an official position, I have to pay him money. However, this matter is unusual. The emperor is my son. I know quite well. I am confused on weekdays, but he dare not be careless when encountering such a major event in his ancestors. Duke Lu can rest assured."
