Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Sergeant Jijiu is an official position that Cao Cao tailor-made for Guo Jia. Its rank is not high, but it has great power. It is in charge of military aircraft, military affairs, and military law, and assists Cao in making decisions.On the expedition, his status is second only to Cao Cao, ranking above all the military divisions and generals.When I returned to Xudu, I was free, idle and noble. I didn't need to go to court, I didn't need to work, and I received my salary.

If it is changed to Sikong Division offering wine, it will directly become an aide in the Sikong Mansion in charge of military law and assisting Cao Cao in handling military affairs. This is not even an official in Xudu, but an official.

Not in the official system of the imperial court, but only belonged to Cao Cao, and only obeyed his aides.Cao Cao's heart seemed to be hit by something.

The gap between these two positions is also too big.

Cao Cao hesitated: "With the talent of filial piety, how can you just be a shogunate?"

Guo Jiaman waved his hand indifferently: "Men, how many people don't like high-ranking officials and rich salaries, and the spring breeze is proud of horseshoes? But the most important thing right now is to punish the ministers, punish the guilty ministers, reward the meritorious officials, commend the loyal and virtuous, and establish the lord. His prestige. As long as the lord's power is in the hands of the public, even if Jia is just a small official, he will rise with the tide."

This Guo Fengxiao is really a wonderful assistant given to him by the heavens. He rewards meritorious deeds and punishes his ministers.Also justifiable, people have nothing to say.

Cao Cao was elated: "I will definitely let Feng Xiao be a high-ranking official and hold great power in the future!"

Cao Cao seemed to have seen that group of difficult Luoyang officials either bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, begging for mercy, or shunned and dared not fight.Or maybe, there will be people who are ignorant of current affairs, who will jump out and act like a chariot, becoming the first stepping stone on the road of his power minister.

Guo Jia: I can't help it. I'm a petty and vengeful person. If you dare to provoke me and make Wen Ruo wronged, I dare to make the whole court tremble.Lords and officials, enjoy this storm.

Officials of the Luoyang faction followed Liu Xie from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Xudu.Displaced and suffering, most people claim to be heroes.Just bid farewell to the life of a beggar, and within a few days of having enough food and clothing, I began to think about fighting for power and profit, and restoring the former glory.

Just when these people moved out of the court's etiquette system to put pressure on Cao Cao and force him to delegate power.

Cao Cao didn't follow the routine, and directly proposed at the court meeting: since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the government has been abolished, meritorious ministers have not been rewarded, guilty have not been punished, treacherous young people have not been punished, and dead people have not been honored.Ask the emperor to reward and punish his deeds and revive the court.

Such a reasonable suggestion, Liu Xie must agree.

The old officials who were loyal to the Han Dynasty and could not tolerate sand in their eyes had long been killed by Dong Zhuo.Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have survived to this day have more or less made false claims and perfunctory Dong Zhuo. If we really want to investigate, none of them are innocent.

Which people are meritorious and who are guilty, isn't it Cao Cao who has the final say?

So all the officials trembled, waiting for Cao Cao's liquidation.

At this time, no one laughed at the behavior of the former Taiwei Yang Biao who resigned as sick as soon as he arrived in Xudu. No one laughed at him anymore. Yang Biao is the real smart person.

Cao Cao is also polite, punishing ministers: punish Shangshu Feng Shuo and other three people.Punish officials: dismiss Sikong, Zhang Xi and several others.Cao Cao himself served as Sikong, leaving the title of General to Yuan Shao.

Rewarding meritorious officials: General Dong Cheng of Anji, and General Fu Wan of Fuguo for their meritorious service in escorting them, and they were named Liehou.By the way, although Liu Xie is only 13 years old, he is already married. There is a queen and a concubine in the harem.Empress Fu is the daughter of Fu Wan.Concubine Dong is the daughter of Dong Cheng.

Zhang Liao, the prefect of Hanoi, made great contributions to rescuing his family and was granted the title of Marquis.Earlier, when Cao Cao went to Luoyang and was about to escort the emperor to Xudu, Yang Feng, a chariot general, blocked the way, followed by Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji with soldiers from Xiliang in pursuit. Zhang Liao intercepted Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Liao Ji, let Cao Cao welcome the emperor smoothly.

Recognition of loyalty and integrity: The late Situ Wang Yun was reburied with a grand funeral, and Huben Zhonglang was sent to worship in Tailao.Wang Hei, Wang Yun's grandson, was granted the title of Marquis of Anleting, with three hundred households in the city.Wang Ling, Wang Yun's nephew, was recruited as Yilang.

In order to protect the emperor Liu Xie, Ju Jun, the lieutenant of Shesheng, was injured and fell off his horse. He was captured by Li Jue. Ju Jun would rather die than surrender, and was brutally killed.

The big change of blood in the imperial court was still going on, the public officials were silent and restless, and the officials finally realized that they were wrong this time. Cao Cao was different from Dong Zhuo, and his means of grasping power were much more clever.

The rewards and punishments of all officials are strictly in accordance with the Han law, so that no one can find fault.Paying homage to the old Situ Wang Yun, and caring for his descendants, let the world's sages return to their hearts.

Behind Cao Sikong, there must be an expert to advise.

And Guo Jia, who created this thunderstorm with one hand, with his black hair tied up casually, and his blue shirt loose, is well-behaved and caring. He stands in the study adding incense and ink for Xun Yu. No matter how you look at it, he looks harmless to humans and animals. appearance.

The drizzle is like light sorrow, strands and strands, bit by bit, looking at each other through the window.

After going through ups and downs, Xun You finally got his wish. He took Xun Yu's maid, A Ji, as his concubine. The only fly in the ointment was: he was drunk by Guo Jia and did not enter the bridal chamber.

It was inappropriate to come and go, so Xun You made a big box and sent it to Xun Lingjun's mansion.

Xun Yu opened it by candlelight and looked at it, his face flushed instantly. This box was full of surgical equipment in the room, such as blindfolds, tendon ropes, iron chains... and many other tools he didn't know. Getting up can make people play disabled.

He was reluctant to use these things on Guo Jia.Nephew's gift, even made him a little annoyed.

Xun Yu sealed the cage, and was about to let the servants carry it out to destroy it, when the footsteps outside the house came from far to near, at this time, at this place, only Guo Jia would come.In a hurry, Xun Yu moved the cage into the compartment, and just after hiding it, Guo Jia stepped into the threshold.

Xun Yu, who has always been dignified and elegant, looked a little embarrassed at this moment. Guo Jia was particularly curious: "Wen Ruo, what were you doing just now?"

Xun Yu lowered his eyes: "No, nothing."

Guo Jia glanced at the carved wooden door of the cubicle: Wen Ruo, a guy who can't lie, looks guilty at first glance, and the frank gentleman who "tells everything to others", has a secret that can't be known to others?

Two of the three princes in the court were dismissed at once, leaving only Situ Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen consciously acted as a mute and never spoke during court discussions.Half of the nine ministers were also dismissed. Thanks to Guo Jia's blessing, his elder brother Guo Hong still served as one of the nine ministers.

Cao Cao is now saying one thing in the court, and no one dares to jump out to obstruct what he wants to do.

Guo Jia thought, it's time to come out and do something.He has been writing recently: Xudu Investment Promotion Order, Guozixue Briefing.

After finishing writing, sign it together with last year's official reform document and hand it over to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was a man who dared to innovate, and he announced without much hesitation: Merchants are welcome in Xudu, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes such as city entry tax will not be charged, but only commodity transaction tax, grain, cloth, war horses, salt, iron, medicine and other material transactions There are also official preferential policies.

Guozixue was established.Teachers from Yingchuan Academy used to teach, and Hu Zhao, Chen Gong and others were also recruited as lecturers of Guozixue.

The school officials at the county level can each recommend ten outstanding students each year to enter the Imperial Academy.Officials with a salary of more than [-] shi can each recommend a nephew to enroll.Generals in the army can recommend two nephews for admission based on their military merits. Soldiers who died in battle, in addition to pensions, can also get a place for admission if they have nephews of the right age.

The children of the gentry who are not recommended can take the entrance examination by themselves, and if they pass the examination, they can obtain the admission qualification.

In addition to the current investigation system and expropriation system, there is another way to become an official, the examination and selection of officials.Due to the selection objects of the examination and selection of officials, those who are selected are scholars who have no official position, and those who are selected are low-level officials.They are still the children of the gentry and did not violate the interests of the majority of the gentry, so it was easy to pass the court discussion.

However, Guo Jia, who proposed reforming the official selection system, still became a thorn in the eyes of the aristocratic family. Because of his reform, the selection of officials was no longer firmly in the hands of the aristocratic family. Become an official with knowledge and get the chance to be promoted, and you don't have to be a lackey of the family anymore.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The sycamore tree of Liu Xie really attracted many golden phoenixes and countless talented people to gather in Xudu.Yingchuan talents Du Xi, Zhao Yan and Fanqin, who escaped the war in Jingzhou, moved their families to Xudu.

Cao Cao appointed Du Xi as the magistrate of Xi'e County, Zhao Yan as the magistrate of Langling County, and Fanqin, who wrote good poems, first entered Guozixue as a lecturer.

The population of Xudu is growing every day, and there is still half a month before the autumn harvest, and there is another shortage of food.Brewing would consume a lot of food, Cao Cao had no choice but to promulgate a ban on alcohol.

As a strange man who doesn't follow the rules very much and feels bad all day if he doesn't have sex, it is normal to ignore the prohibition and drink a little wine secretly.However, for ten days in a row, Guo Jia didn't drink a drop of wine, because Xun Yu wouldn't let him drink.

Guo Jia's three documents aroused heated discussions between the government and the public. Now, as long as Guo Jia leaves the mansion, every minute and every second, his words, deeds, and actions will be watched by countless pairs of eyes.

Xun Yu can be sure that as soon as Guo Jia violates the prohibition order, Shangshutai will receive a bunch of impeachment memorials.

"Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo ~ Let me have a drink, just one." Guo Jia resorted to a trick of pulling his sleeves.

However, not only did a certain person not get a sip of wine, Xun Yu pressed his head into his bosom and smoothed his hair like a kitten.

When Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, his foundation was unstable, and he was suppressed and beaten by Yuan Shu, so life was a bit sad.He heard that Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and established Xu County as his capital, so he wrote a congratulatory form as usual.

The celebration above is just a pretense. The key is that Liu Bei, the Xuzhou Shepherd, was handed over by Tao Qian.Liu Bei needs to be appointed by the emperor.

The important task of meeting the emperor and asking for an official position should have been entrusted to Chen Qun, his aide, but it is said that Chen Qun

The relationship with Guo Jia is very bad. They meet once and pinch each other once.Guo Jia is now a celebrity in front of Cao Cao. After much deliberation, Liu Bei decided to send Chen Deng to handle this matter.

Chen Deng was sent as an envoy to Xudu, and received a letter from Guo Jia before leaving.The prodigal son was still thinking about the big crabs in Zhenhu Lake, saying that he might not be able to make the appointment with the crab roe in autumn, and he encloses a letter with the method of making ice, asking Chen Deng to freeze a batch of plump female crabs and send them to him.

The autumn is crisp, the sky is clear, and on the endless fields, the golden rice is undulating with the wind, like waves.

Xuzhou is an important place for grain production, and the grain is plentiful, which is the biggest harvest of Chen Deng, the Diannong school lieutenant.

However, this year, the soldiers who harvested rice in various counties in Xuzhou belonged to two different camps. On one side were the soldiers of Cao Ren, the general under the command of Sikong Cao Cao, who was in charge of defending Tancheng, and on the other side were the soldiers of Zhang Fei, the commander of Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei.

In terms of generals' martial arts, Zhang Fei is far superior to Cao Ren.In terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Cao Ying's soldiers were much stronger. They were scattered all over the place to harvest rice, and ran away after harvesting. Zhang Fei had nothing to do.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu to fight Yuan Shu in Guangling County, but he had no skills to deal with Cao Ren.

Chen Deng once took the initiative to ask for orders to guard Guangling, but Liu Bei refused.It is difficult for others to intervene in the small circle of Liu Guanzhang.

Two carriages from Xuzhou galloped along the official road. The whole carriage exuded a smell of seafood, and water droplets kept slipping down and sinking into the ruts.

Before Chen Deng himself arrived, Xuzhou's seafood and aquatic products arrived in Xudu first.Frozen plaice, Spanish mackerel, scallops, freshwater shrimp, oysters, etc., as well as the hairy crab that Guo Jia is thinking about.

Guo Jiamei happily ordered the cook to make a crab feast, and invited friends to go boating on Yingshui and eat crabs.

The afterglow of the setting sun is golden, reflecting the flowing light and broken shadows in the water.Xi Yan dipped in ginger vinegar, ate a little crab roe, and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no wine."

Xun You picked the meat out of the crab claws slowly, and glanced at the sparkling water.

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu resentfully, and held his right hand empty, which had a bit of the charm of holding a wine glass. With his left hand, he tapped a few tables to beat the beat, and sang quietly: "Hold a wine glass in your right hand, and a crab claw in your left hand, pat the floating wine boat, That's enough for a lifetime."

Xun Yu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and silently stuffed a glass of warm water into his empty right hand.

Guo Jia: Today is another day without alcohol.

Xuzhou has always been Cao Cao's heart disease. When he received the news that the Xuzhou envoy was coming, Cao Cao invited Guo Jia to Sikong's mansion to cook wine and talk in secret.

Guo Jia tilted her body, sniffed the aroma of alcohol, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's only been half a month since the prohibition was issued, and my lord and Jia are secretly drinking, isn't that good?"

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's lazy and intoxicated demeanor, stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Feng Xiao, I can hear the wine bug in your belly screaming."

Guo Jia didn't pretend anymore, he directly lifted the jug, raised his head and drank wildly for a while.The sunlight pierced through the window lattice and reflected on Guo Jia's side face, drawing a very delicate outline.A thin line of wine poured down, following his gracefully curved jaw, and his small Adam's apple, submerging into the placket of his clothes.

Three days later, when Chen Deng arrived in Xudu, he received a very high standard of courtesy, and the Minister ordered Xun Yu to greet him in person.

Guo Jia: It's all thanks to the big crab.

Chen Deng is a sensible person, he did not ask to meet the emperor Liu Xie, but directly negotiated with Cao Sikong.

Last time in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had a good impression of Chen Deng. It was rare to see such a straightforward young man who knew current affairs. He invited Chen Deng to ride with him.

Chen Deng didn't refuse, thanked him neither humble nor overbearing, boarded the car generously, and put his hand on the golden lacquered handrail carved with auspicious beasts for strength.His temples were cut like knives, his eyebrows were painted in ink, he was handsome, and he smiled proudly, showing four white teeth.

This made Cao Cao a little dazed, and turned his head to look in the direction of Guo Jia.These two gentlemen are really somewhat similar.Not looks, but temperament.
