Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 209: The Gratitude Report
In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo envoy Li Ru to poison Liu Bian to kill Liu Bian in order to stop the Kwantung Allied Forces from raising troops, but unexpectedly the opposite happened.

The Central Plains is once again at war, and at this time, people in Youzhou, far away from the frontier, are also unstable. The news of Liu Yu's resignation spread, and officials and people are all nervous. Every day, people go to the Guangyang government office to petition, not to let Liu Yu Yu left Youzhou.

At the time when the road was blocked by heavy snow, Liu Yu was unable to travel. At the same time, Liu Yao also resolutely refused to take over the post of Youzhou Mu.

In Fan Yangcheng, in the back hall of the acupuncture and moxibustion hall, the fire was burning, the tea was boiling and steaming.

Guo Jia was sitting in the chair by the fire, his eyes were dazed, and he forgot to add water.

The door was gently pushed open, Liu Rui came in with a food box, and exclaimed: "Oh, the water is boiling, Guo Fengxiao, are you deaf or blind?"

"Oh," Guo Jia came back to his senses, quickly lifted the copper pot aside, and said with a smile, "I was thinking about something just now, but I forgot."

"You've always been like this recently. Did acupuncture make you stupid?" Liu Rui complained, put the food box on the table, opened the lid and said, "Come and eat, I bought this from Yanyang Tower on the way." Braised pork is your favorite."

Guo Jia got up and came to the table, looked at the dishes on the table, suddenly sighed, and said: "I don't know how many days I, Guo Jia, can eat this kind of food."

Liu Rui smiled and said, "Before you recover from illness, you can eat whatever you want. My elder brother opened Yanyang Tower, so it's the same if you go there to eat."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the days are numbered."

"What do you mean?" Liu Rui was taken aback, worried that Guo Jia was afraid of being gossiped, and smiled again: "Don't worry, the food money has been deducted from your wages, you can write more prescriptions in the future, and help senior brother write more." A page is enough."

Ever since he stayed in the clinic, Guo Jia helped write prescriptions and keep accounts every day besides treating illnesses. , The raised cheekbones have gradually disappeared during this time.

"It's not about the salary!" Guo Jia sighed softly, looked at Liu Rui and asked, "I heard that your father is about to take office in Luoyang. Have you thought about where you will go in the future?"

Liu Rui said with a smile: "Father has already sent someone to send a message. After he left, all the family members went to Dukang Pavilion, and my elder brother is still here. You don't have to worry about that!"

Guo Jia grabbed the chopsticks, swiped them twice in the air, then put them down again, and said slowly, "Your elder brother will be in great trouble."

"What did you say?" Liu Rui was stunned, then he said twice, and said angrily: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, can't you say something auspicious? My elder brother is in the Central Plains, so many people are with him, and there are Dian The guards are here, what can happen?"

"Well, it's useless to say that the country's major affairs are of your concern," Guo Jia hesitated to speak, and after a moment of pondering, he said: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. I can't receive so many favors in vain."

"What about state affairs and family affairs?" Liu Rui frowned and said, "You are a homeless person, do you still understand state affairs?"

"Know a thing or two!" Guo Jia finally nodded, and said with a smile: "Piao Mu Fanxin, although I dare not compare with Huaiyin Marquis, I am also a person who knows how to repay her kindness."

Liu Rui was confused: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Guo Jia's gaze sharpened suddenly, he looked at Liu Rui and said, "I want to meet Mr. Lu, can Miss introduce you?"

"Have you finally figured it out?" Liu Rui's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I told you to study in the Academy of Arts a long time ago, but you have refused several times. With your intelligence and talent, you will definitely be able to stand out."

Guo Jia smiled lightly, and didn't know how to explain to her for a moment, but said, "I just want to see Duke Lu."

"Then you eat quickly, and I'll take you there when you're done!" Liu Rui hurriedly urged, "I just went to Xuegong this morning, and his old man is going back to Zhuo County for the New Year, so he may only leave for a day or two."

Then Guo Jia picked up the chopsticks, ate the food in a hurry, and rushed to Beixin City with Liu Rui to meet Lu Zhi at Yenching Academy.

Today's Yenching Academy has five great scholars: Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Wang Lie, and Zhuge Gui, known as the Five Elders. It is not easy to meet them, but with Liu Rui leading the way, it is naturally different.

In the evening, Liu Rui took Guo Jia to Lu Zhi's study directly from the back door. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong aroma of wine. Guo Jia couldn't help rolling his throat and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Liu Rui came in and said, "Uncle Lu, I'm here to see you again!"

"Xiao Rui, didn't you just come here this morning?" Lu Zhi was reading a book with a half glass of wine in his hand, and raised his head with a smile, "I'm afraid you need to find me?"

"Hee hee, I brought a friend here to admire the name." Liu Rui blinked and smiled, pointing to Guo Jia and said, "His name is Guo Jia, he can write and read, and he wants to study in the academy."

"Oh?" Lu Zhi noticed Guo Jia who was following behind Liu Rui, looked at him, nodded and said, "It's not bad to be elegant and upright."

Guo Jia took two steps forward. Facing the famous Confucianist, he held a calm demeanor, clasped his fists and said, "I'm next to Guo Jia, I met Mr. Lu."

After drinking half a glass of wine, Lu Zhi nodded and asked, "Are you coming to Xuegong, do you want to study classics, or Xuele, or something else?"

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said, "The younger generation came here to offer advice to protect Youzhou and save Liu He."

"What?" Lu Zhi raised his white eyebrows, glanced at Guo Jia again, and immediately said with a sneer, "Young young people, ignorant and fearless, are really arrogant."

If it wasn't for the people brought by Liu Rui, Guo Jia would have been kicked out a long time ago.

Liu Rui hurried to Guo Jia and warned in a low voice: "What are you talking nonsense here? If you don't speak well, I'm going to get angry."

Guo Jia was unmoved, clasped his fists again and said, "I have a plan to keep General Liu in Youzhou, at least until Liu Boxing returns to Youzhou."

"Oh?" Lu Zhi's eyes were slightly trembling, he looked at Guo Jia again, nodded and said, "Tell me to take a look."

During this period of time, Lu Zhi was worried about this matter. The fate of Liu Yu not only related to the safety of Youzhou, but also the fate of Liu He. They naturally understood Dong Zhuo's intentions, but they could not disobey the imperial decree.

Moreover, Liu Yu's entry to Beijing meant that he and Cai Yong would not be able to stay in Youzhou either, and they might be forcibly recruited to Luoyang by Dong Zhuo.

Now that the academy is opening and getting better, everyone is busy writing biography and teaching apprentices to spread the Tao. Who is willing to help Dong Zhuo improve his reputation?

Lu Zhi was most worried about this. Not only was Liu He his son-in-law, but he was also the one whom Lu Zhi hoped would rejuvenate the Han family. If he was controlled by Dong Zhuo, he would not want to see both public and private situations.

Hearing Guo Jia's words at this time, most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he looked expectantly at the calm young man in front of him. His eyes were deep and his demeanor was calm. Maybe he could have a clever plan.

"Rebellion!" Guo Jia said two words lightly.

"Get out, get out of here!"

The hope in Lu Zhi's eyes instantly turned into anger, and he threw the book in his hand at Guo Jia.
