Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Shihou and Donghou Zuojian were looking at the bamboo tube, it was a letter from Jiangdong.His three apprentices became teachers last year, and now they are the guests of the Xu family in Jiangdong Wujun. They sent Zuo Jian many Jiangdong specialties, such as shrimp paste, scallops, candied fruit, dried water shield, and various salted and smoked fish, etc. .

The smell of stinky shrimp paste, Guo Jia was almost smoked out when he first entered the room.

He covered his nose and peeked at the letter, and found that the three unlucky alchemists lived in the residence of Xu Gong, the captain of Wu County.If Guo Jia remembers correctly, in a few years, Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, will be killed by Sun Ce. I wonder if these two Xu Gong are the same person?

Zuo Jian was very happy to receive the gift from his apprentice.Taking the medicine box and Guo Jia, he ate another mouthful of shrimp paste before going out. Xianbao stuffed two jars of paste into Chen Liang's arms, and said to Guo Jia: "This shrimp paste smells bad and tastes delicious. You might as well try it." Have a taste."

Xi Yan didn't cover his nose, but he took a step back, not very cooperative with the diagnosis: "Cough, cough, old problem, cough, it's nothing."

Zuo Jian rolled his eyes at Guo Jia, and stretched out three fingers to rest on the cleft of Xi Fan's wrist.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes back at him: Why are you rolling your eyes at me?

Zuo Jian: "The Ying water flows into the Huai River, and the skylark looks for the skylark, and people flock together. This little friend avoids medical treatment to the same degree as you."

Heh, Zhicai never taboos diseases and avoids medical treatment, people who eat stinky sauce can’t experience the feelings of people who don’t eat stinky sauce...

Guo Jia: "Sir, how is Zhicai's illness?"

Zuo Jian pondered for a moment, and wrote a prescription, "Qi deficiency is weak, and he has suffered severe trauma, which has damaged the lungs. Wind evil enters the lungs, and chronic coughing... It is also easy to cure. In addition to taking medicine on time, pay attention to the temperature and temperature, add and subtract in time Clothes, get plenty of rest. Avoid alcohol, sex, and staying up late." In fact, the disease takes a long time to recuperate, and it is easy to relapse, but he will not say it to affect the curative effect.

Xi Yan suddenly had a bitter face: "Everything else is easy to say, cough, it's a bit difficult to avoid alcohol."

Zuo Jian stroked his beard: "It's okay to drink less. It's better to inhale deeply with your chest and abdomen often, and then exhale slowly. I have a set of breathing skills, do you want to learn?"

Joy: "No need..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guo Jia suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "Learn, this kung fu is simple and practical. I used to suffer from cold and cough, but Mr. Zuo forced me to learn it. After getting used to it, I feel comfortable. I haven't been sick this year. "

Just because Zuo Jian's back in his 40s still looks like a young man with a weak crown, who can kick a calf with one kick, this set of breathing skills is extraordinary.

Joy: "..." It seems that I accidentally discovered the truth about Feng Xiao's fear of taking medicine and needles?

One person is frequently mentioned in the play and conversation-Cao Cao.It is said that he ran the army strictly and did not offend the people of Yingchuan.It is said that he has great courage and courage, and he rushed to the forefront when chasing Bocai.He also said that he was honest and fair, and when he was appointed Prime Minister of Jinan, he dismissed eight county magistrates in Yurou Township...

Guo Jia was a little surprised, it was quite different from the bad-faced villain in his impression.But the traitor shouldn't be determined to be a traitor from the beginning.Maybe the mentality of being an incompetent minister has changed?

Opposite Wumu Xiaoji, Xi Yan shook the medicine bowl, drank the last sip of the medicine juice, and concluded with a wrinkled face: "This person is as treacherous as loyal."

Guo Jia: "...how did you come to such a conclusion when you boasted about him like that?"

Joy: "The medicine is too bad. His position is too contradictory."

What Cao Cao has done in the past ten years, no matter how you look at it, he is a capable minister and honest official, and he is completely different from his father Cao Song.

Cao Song is a tyrant in the officialdom, flattering the rich and powerful, and has first-rate skills in hugging his thighs.Holding the network resources left by the great eunuch Cao Teng in his hand, he is labeled as the adopted son of the eunuch.

Cao Cao was a big thorn, he stabbed Lou Zi wherever he went, killed the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo, wrote a letter to appeal for the grievances of the scholar leaders Li Ying and Chen Fan, strictly enforced the law, and created a storm of clean government.

The scholar-bureaucrats were all confused by Cao Cao. Isn't this the grandson of the great eunuch Cao Teng? Why did he stand on our side and start tormenting the eunuch?The father is a member of the eunuch's henchman, but the son is against his father-in-law?OK?

When it comes to strict law enforcement, Cao Cao is quite interested in Yingchuan scholars. Yingchuan is the hometown of Han Feizi, a representative of Legalism. Yingchuan’s private schools are partly Confucianism College, partly Law School, and the rest are Confucianism comprehensive high school.When others mention Yingchuan famous scholars, the first impression is that they are high official and good at grammar.

Xi Fan and Xun Yu have always speculated on each other, but they disputed several times about what kind of person Cao Cao is.Xun Yu's view is just the opposite. He sees Cao Cao's loyalty as traitorous.

Even Xu Shao of the "Yuedan Review" gave Cao Cao a somewhat opportunistic evaluation: "You are a capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times."

Guo Jia snickered, it’s right to be controversial. This person himself is a collection of contradictions, and later generations have been controversial for thousands of years. No one can convince the other party if they criticize him, praise him, or try to restore him.

If you want to really know a person, you can't do it through hearsay. Is it a villain or a hero?Guo Jia intends to find an opportunity to observe closely.

Cao Cao's life was also ups and downs. At the beginning, he served as the northern captain of Luoyang, and then he offended the dignitaries and was transferred to Dunqiu Ling.

The Cao family and the Song family were related by marriage. In the first year of Guanghe (AD 178), they were implicated in the witchcraft case of Queen Song. When the sons of the Song family were killed, the men of the Cao family were collectively thrown out of office.

At that time, Cao Cao and his father Cao Song were also dismissed, but Cao Song soon returned to court with the connections left by Cao Teng.Scholars and bureaucrats like Zhang Wen and eunuchs like Cao Jie all spoke well for Cao Song, which was the only one in the dynasty.Usually, the scholar-officials pinch the eunuch whoever they praise, and the eunuch beats the scholar-official whoever they praise.

After more than a year, Qiao Xuanzuo invited talented people to be promoted, and Cao Cao, who was at home, was recruited as Yilang.He made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and was promoted to Jinan Prime Minister, which is equivalent to the prefect of the county.

As soon as Cao Cao took office, he vigorously rectified the law and discipline, and dismissed eight county magistrates in Yurou Township in one go. The nobles in Jinan also felt that their privileges were severely restricted. All kinds of troubles, they collectively worked hard to transfer Cao Cao away and moved him to be the prefect of Dongjun .

This is also thanks to the fact that his father is Cao Song. If someone else dared to make such a fuss, there would be no way to transfer them all.

Cao Cao was very disappointed with the government. He did not go to Dongjun to take up his post. Instead, he returned home due to illness, studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and lived a semi-reclusive pastoral life.

Not long ago, Liu Hong formed an army directly under him and set up the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan. He also thought of Cao Cao, who could lead troops to fight, and appointed him as the Colonel of Dianjun.

The eunuch Jian Shuo, who had a grudge against Cao Cao, is now very popular. He was appointed by Liu Hong as the captain of the upper army and commanded the eighth captain of Xiyuan.The military power is still above General He Jin.

At least in name, not only the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan, but even He Jin was under the restraint of Jian Shuo.

It was unprecedented for an eunuch to become the highest military commander in the country. Not to mention He Jin's dissatisfaction, even the captains of Xiyuan were not happy.A masculine man, being ruled by this kind of incomplete product that is neither male nor female, where should he put his face?

Liu Hong also knew that Jian Shuo couldn't convince others, but besides those eunuchs, who else could he trust?He planned a grand military exercise to help Jian Shuo build up his prestige.

As for the effect, a man who doesn't even grow a beard and is not a man appeared in the military exercise of tough guys. He was the leader in the front row, and he was riding a big horse to show off his power. It seemed like that, but he couldn't stand it. Everyone wanted to laugh as soon as they heard his indistinguishable voice, but they couldn't and didn't dare to laugh openly.

Although He Jin's brain is not very good, he also understands that he has been alienated by Liu Hong. The sense of crisis prompts him to look for help everywhere, and he has to ask Yuan Shao and others for advice on everything.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (AD 189), in January, Yuan Shao asked He Jin to recruit resourceful men, and many of them received olive branches from the general.

He Yong, Zheng Tai, Xu You, Xun You, Chen Lin, Kuai Yue and other celebrities all came to Luoyang successively to advise He Jin and leave.

Of course, it's hard to say whether these people want to help He Jin plan, or they are helping Yuan Shao.

Jian Shuo proposed to let He go to the west to attack Han Sui and Ma Teng's rebels. Liu Hong immediately agreed and rewarded He Jin with a hundred vehicles to urge him to leave early.

It has been several years since Han Sui rebelled in Xiliang, and the leaders of the Liangzhou rebels have changed several times. First, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang people, led his troops to kidnap Liangzhou officials Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

Then the captives Bian Zhang and Han Sui became the leaders of the rebel army, led the rebel army to capture Liangzhou, killed the prefect of Jincheng, and beheaded the guard Qiang Xiaowei.Both Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo failed to quell the rebellion.

Then Han Sui launched a mutiny, killed Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, became the master of this rebel army, and attacked Longxi with [-] troops.Ma Teng of Fufeng also came to intervene, forming an alliance with Han Sui, and leading troops to invade the Sanfu area together.The imperial court sent Zhang Wen to take Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo together to suppress the rebellion, but it also failed.

So many famous generals couldn't pacify Liangzhou. Of course, Liu Hong didn't expect He Jin to create a miracle. He just wanted to find a reason to send He Jin far away, so that he could do something that was inconvenient for a general in Luoyang.

The Son of Heaven always wanted to lure He Jin out of the capital, and even made such a bad excuse, there was clearly something wrong.With He Jin's IQ, he knew absolutely not to go.

In late March, Guo Jia's filial piety period expired, and it was rare for several friends to get together.

While making tea, Xi Fan chatted with Guo Jia and Xun Yu, "Although He Jin is a foreign relative, he is a general who kills pigs. His background is incomparable to that of Dou Wu back then. The emperor was so guarded that he let Jian Shuo seize his military power." , and want to transfer him away from Luoyang, could it be that he wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones?"

That's right, abolishing the elders and establishing the younger, this is what He Jin will stop at all costs as long as he is still in Luoyang.

Several thoughts passed through Guo Jia's mind: According to the average life expectancy of an emperor of nearly 150 years, Liu Hong, who is 33 years old, is already considered a long-lived.If he remembers correctly, Liu Hong won't survive this summer.

Liu Hong had several sons, but only two are still breathing.One is Liu Bian, the eldest son raised in Shi Dao's family, nicknamed "Shihou" by the people.The other is Liu Xie, the youngest son raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, nicknamed "Dong Hou" by the people.

Liu Bian's biological mother was Empress He, and his uncle was General He Jin.Suppressing He Jin at this moment, it is estimated that Liu Bian is really not pleasing.

Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren died early. It is said that she was poisoned to death by Empress He. Empress Dowager Dong took the little prince with her.Moreover, the relationship between Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good, and they have been competing with each other.

The general view of later generations is that Liu Hong hesitated until his death: establish a prince debate or establish a prince association?

In fact, it is more likely that Liu Hong wanted to make Liu Xie the prince, so that he could reasonably explain that he instructed Jian Shuo to seize He Jin's military power, appointed Dong Zhong, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, as General Piaoqi, and a series of others for Liu Xie. The act of paving.

However, the officials fiercely opposed the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young, and Jian Shuo was unable to suppress He Jin. He Jin was still a general with a heavy army in his hands. Dare to persuade He Jin to support Liu Bian.

Don't underestimate the ancients. Zhicai, Wenruo, and Gongda are all human spirits, and they will infinitely magnify every little clue.

Guo Jia picked up a piece of jerky, "It's impossible for an emperor to lead a group of eunuchs to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. Just think about it. I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Not only the great general He Jin supported his nephew Liu Bian, but most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also supporters of the eldest son inheritance system.It would be a miracle if Liu Hong could do what Mingjun failed to accomplish.
