Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

This spring, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom and the vegetation is growing wildly.Somebody's cat, Sichun, howled day and night, which was very annoying.

With a strange mood, Cao Cao read Chen Qun's third small report again.There is not a single dirty word, the sentences are gorgeous, and the words are even quite elegant, but he regards Guo Jia as a lucky minister who gets preferential treatment for his masculinity.

In fact, all preferential treatment is not without reason.There are many civil and military officials in Cao Ying who are good at strategy, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu (martial officer), Xi Zhicai (martial officer) and so on.But whenever a matter is discussed, these people may "heroes see the same thing", or they may have different opinions, arguing endlessly on the spot.

At this time, Cao Cao needs to make a wise choice.Cao Cao occasionally gets confused and doesn't know what to do. The only person who has the courage to analyze the best strategy and assist Cao Cao in making a decision is Guo Jia.If a decision is made wrong, Guo Jia will be held accountable, and no one else has the guts to do so.

On Yuan Shao's side, they often discussed one matter many times, but they still couldn't make a decision.It was because a bunch of counselors gave him various ideas, but there was no Qi Zuo like Guo Jia who could see the overall situation, calm and sharp, to help him analyze and judge how to make decisions.

If you don't become the protagonist, you will never know how bad it is when you face two, three, four... six, seven, eight seemingly good schemes, but they are all just inferences. Everyone sounds reasonable, but you have to choose one more.

Even if it was such an embarrassing thing to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao, Guo Jia, who is more skilled in speaking, would make it easier for Cao Cao to accept.

Chen Qun was a very decent person, and he impeached Guo Jia for some of his minor faults, such as not timing his appointments, humming ditties in the official office, and wearing clothes indiscriminately, all of which were true.

Guo Jia didn't stick to etiquette. Sometimes he came to work without official uniform, sometimes he wore official uniform but no ribbon, and sometimes he didn't even wear the imperial crown, just folded a fan and scarf, and just dangled around.

These days, officials pay attention to the majesty of Han officials, and the court has strict regulations on the etiquette and uniform of civil and military officials.For example, in official uniforms, all civil servants have the same style of black robes and similar e-crown belts. How to distinguish the rank of officials?Mainly depends on the color of the ribbon.

Sangong and Chehou wear purple ribbons and gold seals.The officials of Jiuqing and Erqianshi wear blue ribbons and silver seals.Officials with less than [-] shi and more than [-] shi wear black ribbons and bronze seals.Four hundred stones and below are tied with a yellow ribbon and a bronze seal.

If you meet a prodigal like Guo Jia who doesn't even wear a ribbon, you'll be completely blinded.

Of course, Guo Jia's behavior was illegal and violated rules and disciplines, but it was not a big deal.

Dong Cao's external affairs: responsible for the selection of officials, and envoys for envoys and interviews.

Xi Cao's internal affairs: Responsible for supervising the class and subordinate officials, admonishing and discussing.

It is unreasonable to criticize Guo Jia without name-calling for Xi Caoxuan and Chen Pi, who is equivalent to the discipline committee member.

In fact, Guo Jia came late and left early, not because he was lazy or deliberately lazy.He is in charge of the informant department, and there are many things that are inconvenient to be handled in the official department.It's just that his office hours are more flexible and free, and he hasn't missed any of the things he should do.

Cao Cao was puzzled: as a child of the same family, well-educated, and a model of morality, Xun Yu admired Guo Jia's straightforwardness and ease, and chatting with Xun Yu, as long as he was guided a little, the topic would naturally turn to Guo Jia.Chen Qun, on the other hand, hated Guo Jia's unbridled behavior and would pinch him whenever he met. Why was there such a big difference?

It is impossible to punish Guo Jia for these small problems.

For Cao Cao: For Cao Cao, if things are like gods, military officers will forget to tie the ribbons of their official uniforms, and they will sing "Hu Ji's fifteenth year, and spring alone will be a rice cake."

There are flaws to be human, and a perfect existence like Xun Yu makes Cao Cao only dare to look at it from a distance, even if it is close at hand, it seems to be separated by an insurmountable moat.

That is the humbleness of the eunuch's descendants looking up to the son of the family.Cao Cao ran into walls in the early years because he could not be recognized by scholar-bureaucrats because of his status as an eunuch and ugly.It was Xun Yu who used the image of a gentleman like jade, elegant and upright, and relied on the influence of the Xun family among the gentry to recruit talents for him and turn the world around.

Guo Jia and Chen Qun quarreled again, this time, it was Chen Qun who came looking for them.

The military officer Jijiu works in a separate small hall, but Guo Jia is not alone in handling official duties, he also has several assistants, such as Shuzuo, Jiji, and joining the army.

Many people in later generations believed that Guo Jia's official position was low, and he was just a staff member of Sikong, so he had little power.Guo Jia himself thought so before serving as a military adviser to sacrifice wine.

However, this is a very special time.The military and political power of the imperial court is firmly in the hands of Cao Cao, and the little emperor Liu Xie is a mascot.Like Cao Cao, Situ Zhao Wen, who was ranked among the three lords, basically had no right to intervene in any political affairs. Most of the official positions in the court were fictitious, and the official position and actual power were not equal.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: The current politics shifted to the Cao family, and the emperor respected himself. "Summed in four words, it is called "Cao Wei Bafu".

Cao Cao, the Sikong Shogunate, a super powerful minister, has formed a strict power system and has replaced the role of the imperial court.For example, Sikong Dong Cao Yu, a petty official of four hundred shi, is currently in charge of the promotion, dismissal, and election of officials in the entire imperial court with trepidation.

Judging from official positions and inferring power is not applicable to the current court situation.

Therefore, Guo Jia's desk not only contains strategic deployment secrets, tactical arrangements, pending military affairs, and reward and punishment documents for lieutenant officers and soldiers that need to be reviewed, but also the latest state affairs, information about changes in official positions, and strategic materials (food, etc.) from various places. Reserve reports and more.

Guo Jia's official position is really small, but because of Cao Cao's trust and reliance, many of the official affairs he has handled have far exceeded the original scope of authority of the military officer Jijiu, and his position is humble and powerful, which is about it.

In other words, it's still early for a certain prodigal son to finish his official duties.While reading the official mansion newspaper, he hummed casually: "There is a osmanthus tree in Nanshan, and there are two mandarin ducks on it."

Chen Qun came in suddenly and coughed dryly.

Guo Jia is still humming a little song: "Thousands of years are long-term friendship, love and never forget each other."

Chen Qun coughed again.

Guo Jia continued to read the mansion newspaper without even raising his eyelids: "Changwen, itchy throat is also a disease, and it needs to be cured."

It was rare for Chen Qun to get angry, but to speak earnestly: "Guo Fengxiao, I have to remind you of some things when we are classmates. It is definitely not the right way. Since ancient times, there have been no good results in flattery. With your talent, why do you want to do it?" This kind of thing? The face of the academy has completely disgraced you!"

Guo Jia was taken aback, and then she flattered him, referring to him and Cao Cao?Guo Jia took a sip of warm water to suppress his shock, and said slowly, "Chen Changwen, you must have evidence for what you say. What is the difference between you and spreading rumors and slander?"

A suspicious flush appeared on Chen Qun's face: "I checked the account books of the pharmacy, and you bought, that... that, medicine."

This is really a "seamless egg that flies don't bite", Guo Jia did buy it... and Xun Yu used it.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly: "None of your business."

"If you don't know what's good and what's wrong, if you don't change, I, I, I will sue you (you)!" Chen Qun's mood fluctuated, and his hometown accent came out.

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "Oh, remember to straighten your tongue before going to the court, and don't stutter when you speak. A broken sleeve in the academy is an elegant thing. If you stutter, it will inevitably make people laugh."

Cao Cao thought that by not punishing Guo Jia, he had clearly expressed his attitude towards those small reports.However, he underestimated Chen Qun's persistence.Chen Qun actually advised him to practice self-cultivation and self-denial, and sued Guo Jia in public at the court meeting.
