Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

In recent days, for unknown reasons, Cao Cao has been moody.All the subordinates behaved with their tails between their legs, for fear of being caught and making mistakes, and being punished in public.

The school official Zhao Da lived up to the villain evaluation Guo Jia gave him, figured out that Cao Cao's bad mood had something to do with Xun Yu, so he collected the book "Shen Jian" by Xun Yu's cousin Xun Yue, checked it carefully, and returned it to Cao Cao. I really found the problem: Xun Yue's remarks were aimed at Cao Cao.

"Shen Jian" consists of five chapters, emphasizing benevolent governance, and believes that ministers in power should follow the "three obediences": one is the heart, the second is the job, and the third is the way.This is obviously not used to Cao Cao's "dominant mansion".

Look at Xun Yue's "Han Ji" again. This is his explanation of "Han Shu" to the emperor Liu Xie. into the book.This "Han Ji" is even more remarkable. It hypes up the literary and martial arts of the Han Dynasty, and every word and every word is eager to revive the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Da tentatively presented "Shen Jian" and "Han Ji" to Cao Cao for reading.

This is asking for directions. If Cao Cao takes the opportunity to deal with Xun Yue, it means that Cao Cao wants to move the Xun family, and the next step is naturally to try to frame Xun Yu.

After Cao Cao finished reading "Shen Jian", his face was cloudy and uncertain.Turning over the bamboo slips again, I saw the preface of the "Han Ji" one by one: "Bring out the chaos, unify the martial arts and prosper the culture, and forever honor the great achievements of the ancestors, and think about the light to inspire all descendants."

This is to hope that Liu Xie can learn from historical experience, overthrow powerful officials, and preserve the foundation of his ancestors.

Cao Cao threw the bamboo slips on the ground, suppressing his anger.Guo Jia said that he admired his magnanimity the most. He couldn't just know the relationship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia, so he was very impatient to find Xun's bad luck.

Zhao Da looked at his face and guessed that Cao Cao was indeed quite jealous of the Xun family. He said: "Your Majesty is very good at literature. Last month Wangri (the day of the [-]th full moon), Xun Lingjun, Xun Shizhong (Xun Yue) and Kong Shaofu (Kong Rong) went into the palace to speak for His Majesty all night long."

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao kicked him lightly suddenly, and said with a smile: "Zhongyu (Xun Yue)'s articles are concise and detailed, and his arguments are exquisite. He is worthy of being a member of the Xun family. You bastard, if you write articles and talk about Chinese Shi will be convicted, so who would dare to work for Gu? Gu will show you a clear path, among these aristocratic children, Kong Wenju (Kong Rong) is the most reckless, you can figure it out."

Kong Rong insulted Cao Cao many times, and his behavior was suspicious. Every time he drank, he insisted on letting Huben who guarded the palace gate for Liu Xie sit beside him, muttering, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Da was kicked, and smiled obsequiously: "Don't worry, Mr. Ming, I will do my best."

In November, the sky is cold and the river freezes.Cao Cao sent troops to Youzhou to attack Yuan Shang.Cao Ang acts as the agent of Jizhou Mu and stays in Yecheng.

Yuan Shang did not dare to fight, and fled with a hundred thousand troops.

Bingzhou Inspector Gaogan (Yuan Shao's nephew) took advantage of Cao Cao's expedition and secretly dispatched troops to plan a sneak attack on Yecheng.

Xun Yu's elder brother, Xun Yan, served as the captain of the supervising army. When he discovered Gao Gan's change, he led troops to kill Gao Gan and his subordinates, and was named a lieutenant for his meritorious service.

So far, Hebei has been pacified.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes straight: Among the Xun family's children, Xiu Ruo (Xun Yan) is the most stupid.A small school lieutenant can kill all the rebels of Bingzhou governor, what does Cao Cao think?Such a capable subordinate is still under control...

For a while, the Xun family was one of the three nobles, and they were unparalleled.At that time, the Four Talents, Three Miracles, and Double Miracles of Yingchuan Academy, except for Hu Zhao, worked under Cao Cao's command. The Yingchuan scholars headed by Xun almost took over all important military and political affairs.

Cao Cao felt apprehensive, closed the door, and talked with Dong Zhaomi for two hours.The final decision: Let Xun You stay in the rear, stay in the middle with Xun Yu, and share part of Xun Yu's power.Xun Yan's transfer to join the army is tantamount to being deprived of military power.Chen Qun was released as the county magistrate, and Xin Pi served as idle counselor.

Of course, these Yingchuan celebrities are all first-class capable people, with one word to rejuvenate the country, one word to disrupt the country, one word to save lives, and one word to kill people.They must not be left out in the cold, chilling people's hearts.Cao Ang greeted Xin Pi and Chen Qun, and discussed the government affairs of Jizhou with them.Cao Pi served Xun You the same way he served his husband.

The meaning of this arrangement is obvious: Chen Qun and Xin Pi are close ministers prepared for Cao Ang, and they have a bright future.As for the Xun family, the military power was confiscated, and it seemed to be a dignitary, but in fact it was only superficial and had no power to protect itself.

Guo Jia came to the door suddenly, and Cao Cao felt a little guilty. What he did in this matter was a little bit more kind than a rabbit dead dog cooking and a bird dead bow.Others may not have the courage to discuss it, but Guo Jia has always been a person who dares to pull out a tiger's whiskers.

The sound of rhythmic and light footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Cao Cao's heart was raised. He couldn't explain why he was nervous. There were too many reasons. He was probably most afraid of seeing disappointment from those extremely clear eyes.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia didn't mention that matter at all, and played with the folding fan leisurely.

Cao Cao took Guo Jia's hand and sat at the same table.

Guo Jia withdrew his hand indiscriminately, and coughed twice: "Since Hebei is flat, Duke Ming should enlist more famous people from Qing, Hebei, You, and Bingzhou, especially Chen Lin, who wrote "Discussion The one in Cao Xiwen, it is best to reuse him. One is to supplement the affiliation, and the other is to make the hearts of Hebei belong to him."

Not a word of accusation, not a bit of resentment, his expression is still somewhat relaxed, and he is still planning for the great cause of the lord.

Cao Cao's nose was sore, and the hands holding the desks trembled: "Feng Xiao, I..." It was "I", not "Gu". "Gu" can't lose half a point of momentum, but "I" can.

Guo Jia pressed his fan against Cao Cao's mouth lightly: "Don't say it, 'The enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselor is dead.' From ancient times to the present, it has been repeated. The Duke of Ming once compared Wen Ruo to Zhang Zifang (Zhang Liang), but in fact Wen Ruo is very I envy Zifang, he assisted Liu Bang in creating a 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty, and he was able to retire. If the lord still misses the old love and remembers the time we have passed together, when Wenruo is no longer needed in the future, please allow him to retire bravely. Make a good story."

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, Guo Jia, Xi Fan, and Xun Yu all wanted to retire after success, so they were so afraid that he would run out of money?A generation of heroes was slightly angry: "Guo Fengxiao, you underestimate Gu, is Gu the kind of person who can share adversity, but can't share wealth?"

Guo Jia thought about it. Compared with Sun Quan in the official history, Cao Cao's persecution of heroes is really not that many. It may be related to Xun Yu, and it is difficult for him to calm down.

So, the prodigal son patted Cao Cao carelessly: "Don't worry about Jia, it doesn't matter if you share wealth, just remember to drink enough."

Cao Cao: "..."

The spring is cold and cold, and the flowers bloom one after another, flying catkins and dancing in the wind.

As the subordinates of Sikong Mansion moved to Yecheng one after another, Jizhou gradually became the new center of power, and Xudu's imperial court was useless.

When the eldest son Cao Ang acted as Jizhou Mu, he implemented benevolent government and gained a good reputation.

Cao Cao wrote many times, asking Xun Yu to go to Yecheng as well, and also promised him the official position of Sangong.

Xun Yu was stubborn and refused to leave. The ideal shared by many people in the past, now he is the only one left, still insisting on it alone.

Chen Qun came to persuade, Xi Yu came to persuade, and Xun You also came to persuade. It is the general trend that the Cao family will replace the Han Dynasty. How can he alone stop the torrent of the times?

March [-]rd, Shangsi Festival.On the rest day, which was also a festival, several ministers went to Yingshui to participate in the ritual of exorcism. Only Xun Yu sat in the empty main hall of Shangshutai and wrote a letter to Cao Cao.

The quaint tall beams and columns still support the solemnity of Shangshutai.

When another figure blocked the light, Xun Yu repeated quietly: "If you are the lobbyist of Duke Ming, please don't speak."

A chuckle came from above his head, Xun Yu raised his head and met Guo Jia's burning gaze.

Guo Jia supported the desks with both hands, leaned his upper body sideways to Xun Yu, his head almost touched the corner of his jaw: "Jia came all the way to see Wen Ruo, why doesn't he look very popular?"

"Feng Xiao." The pen in Xun Yu's hand stopped, and the ink slowly faded on the silk script.

Guo Jia put down the Langhao pen for Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, do you still remember that you promised me that you would keep a promise?"

The blood on Xun Yu's face faded instantly: "Even Feng Xiao wants to persuade me to be wise and protect myself?"

Guo Jia shook his head: "Why is Jia willing to make things difficult for you? Let me answer a question first - if Minggong gave you a food box, and you opened it and found it was empty, what would you think?"

Xun Yu: "An empty food box means that there is no food and no salary to eat. In the "Book of Rites", the death of a scholar is called "no salary", and Ming Gong wants me to die."

Guo Jia touched Xun Yu's face, then you promise me: "Whether others push you to a desperate situation, or you yourself are disheartened, no matter what the situation is, you have to wait for me and don't decide life and death on your own. You are the last A Han official, but the Dao will last forever, and no one needs to be martyred. The inheritance of the great Han has never been cut off, but it will change its name again, and it will still be China. The one who really can’t live without you is me.”

Xun Yu's lips moved, wanting to respond to the word "nuo", but before he could make a sound, a drop of tears overflowed his eyes and landed on Guo Jia's fingertips.He hugged Guo Jia, at least he still had a confidant.When almost all the members of the Xun clan hoped that he would give up his untimely loyalty for the sake of the family, Guo Jia understood his persistence and was willing to face the worst situation with him.

The person in the arms was very dishonest, secretly rolled up the silk books on several cases, put them in his sleeves, and pulled Xun Yu's skirt to play tricks: "I will write the letter tomorrow, and I will celebrate the Shangsi Festival with Jia first. Flowers are falling by the Yingshui River Red, beauties like clouds, it would be a pity not to feast our eyes."

This holiday can be celebrated as Valentine's Day.All the people go outing in the spring, and young men and women can meet freely by the water.

Xun Yu remembered the year when he was crowned, he and Guo Jia participated in the exorcism ceremony.

At that time, Guo Jia was only 13 years old and his body was weak. He rarely had the opportunity to join in this kind of fun, and he rarely went out of the city to play like crazy.He was young, and he mixed with a group of ladies, running around by the water, picking orchids.

After Guo Jia made such a fuss, the ladies picked orchids, folded flower branches, embroidered sachets...throwing whatever they threw at him.

This is also one of the festival customs. Throwing flowers, grass, and sachets are all expressions of admiration.But this time, the ladies probably didn't want to throw their hearts out, they just couldn't stand the boy's sweet mouth and love to laugh, he was more amiable than the younger brother at home, so they deliberately teased him.

The memory made Xun Yu's eyes darken slightly: "Feng Xiao wants to go to the water to see beauties?"

Guo Jia snorted, "You can't even look at it?"

Xun Yu dragged Guo Jia back home, bathed with orchid soup, then changed into ordinary clothes, and drove to Yingshui.

When we got there, it was already dusk.The sacrificial activities to exorcise ominousness have long since ended, and the grand gathering of Qushui Liushang has also ended.Pedestrians went home one after another, and most of the people who stayed here were young men and women who saw the right thing. They had a tryst by the water and promised love with peony. (Two versions, first, peony is grass peony, also known as Xinyi, Jiangli, is a kind of vanilla. Second, the third month of the lunar calendar is April in the Gregorian calendar, and the peony flowers have already bloomed.)

These days, "Shaoyao" and "Yoyao" are homophonic, and are often used to express admiration tactfully.Lovers give peonies to each other, which also means to invite again.

There are indeed a few beauties by the water, but the willful onlookers may scare away the mandarin ducks.Guo Jia was very regretful: "Wen Ruo, did you do it on purpose?"

Xun Yu broke off a sprig of peony and handed it to Guo Jia.

The villain in Guo Jia's body fights: A single flower can coax you, how can you be so easy to coax?I haven't seen each other for more than a year, it's not easy to get together, don't make trouble.

However, if you don't make trouble, you are not a prodigal son. He found a deserted green grassland and pushed Xun Yu down...
