Dong Cheng was stunned for a while, then he realized that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven.

Guo Hong looked at Liu Xie, then at Cao Cao, took out the jade wat stuck in his belt, and stood up slowly.Guo Jia lightly sniffed the plum blossoms in his hand, and casually pinned the flower branches on Xun Yu's front lapel, stepped forward without haste, and saluted with Guo Hong to thank him.

With just one action, the little emperor Liu Xie's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The flower branches he folded with his own hands, Guo Jia casually gave them to others in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, the prodigal son didn't even wear the cuffs of his dress.The solemn dress, worn on him, seemed a little more chic and casual.

Dong Chengjuhu: "Guo Jijiu is disrespectful in front of the emperor, and he should be demoted to a commoner according to the law."

Situ Zhao Wen smoothed things over: "Your Majesty will give you a banquet, and the monarch and ministers will have fun together. At this time, talking about indecency, who would dare to have a banquet with peace of mind?"

The officials present drank alcohol, and many of them lost their manners.Hiccups, open clothes, just now there was an old minister who staggered, slipped half a foot away, and dropped his hair crown, lying on the ground with his hair in a mess, and was just carried back to the seat by his colleagues.

Dong Cheng's words were too harsh, which attracted dissatisfied eyes.

Xun Yu bowed and resigned in a dignified manner: "Your Majesty, Guo Ji is drunk, and I take him down to sober up."

Under Liu Xie's cold gaze, Xun Yu helped Guo Jia leave the Qilin Hall, leaving behind a lingering and elegant fragrance.

Cao Cao has been worrying a lot recently, adding a little Huafa. "Feng Tianzi" allowed him to recruit talents in the name of the court, and became famous as a teacher.But at the same time, a huge hidden danger was planted: Those scholars who gathered from all over the world to Xudu, on the surface, were working for him, but in fact, many of them came for the Han Dynasty.

Even he himself is often in conflict.On the one hand, it was his original intention to help the Han Dynasty, which prompted him to try his best to maintain the face of the emperor.On the one hand is the cruel reality, he is regarded as another Dong Zhuo, and if he wants to survive, he must suppress the loyal officials of the Han Dynasty and deny them a chance to stand up.

However, the emperor Liu Xie's hand was too long, and Cao Cao could no longer bear it.Before Liu Xie learns to keep his mouth shut and not use verbal orders to appoint officials indiscriminately, he can no longer be allowed to attend this kind of banquet.From then on, whenever Liu Xie came out to show his face at all banquets for officials, he would be sent back to the harem by the servants.

Shangshutai, where Xun Yu works, has a spare hand stove.

Guo Jia: "Who has His Majesty met recently?"

Xun Yu thought for a moment, and while filling the stove, he said, "Too many, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other close officials, Liu Miao, Liu Fu (Prince Fu) and other clans often come to the palace to pay their respects."

Guo Jia poked the ashes in the charcoal basin with a fire chopstick: "Is there anything special? For example: I have spoken alone with His Majesty." After all, power makes people crazy, and it is a strange thing to swear blood alliance with eunuchs in the toilet and plot to bring down powerful officials. The emperors of the Han Dynasty all appeared.

Xun Yu: "Three days ago, His Majesty rewarded the old Taiwei Yang Biao with a basket of melons and fruits, and two altars of tribute wine on credit. Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, went to the palace to thank him, and accompanied His Majesty to dig ice and fish by the pond. They all stayed away, saying that there were too many people, and the fish were too scared to take the bait. There is also Liu Ye, a son of the clan, who played against His Majesty in the warm pavilion. He once took out a letter, and His Majesty burned it immediately after reading it. gone."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, Yang Xiu and Liu Ye sounded suspicious.

Yang Xiu is extremely intelligent, erudite and talented. He was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, a family with four generations and three males with great influence.His biological mother came from the Yuan family in Runan, who was also four generations and three fathers.If there is a ranking list for the noble sons of Xudu, only in terms of birth, Yang Xiu deserves to be number one.

In the imperial court, the old ministers of the Luoyang faction were vaguely headed by Yang Biao.Cao Cao has been looking for opportunities to suppress Yang Biao.

Yang Xiu has reasons and the ability to muddy the water.

Liu Ye, courtesy name Ziyang, was born in Huainan.He is a direct descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan.Liu Ye lost his mother when he was seven years old. When he was 13 years old, he killed his father's concubine with a sword.Before his mother died, he asked him to get rid of his concubine when he grew up.

Liu Ye's father was so angry that he was half dead, but he didn't punish him.Outsiders don't know exactly what happened.

Later, when Liu Ye took refuge in Lujiang, Xu Shao, who specializes in Yuedan commentary, gave him a comment: "Ye has a talent for the world."

After Liu Ye became an adult, he helped Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, and there were many local tyrants who supported themselves.Liu Ye invites a powerful man named Zheng Bao to dinner, and secretly arranges swordsmen to get rid of Zheng Bao.However, the axemen were afraid of Zheng Bao and did not dare to strike. At the critical moment, Liu Ye quickly drew his sword, beheaded Zheng Bao's head with his own hands, and subdued Zheng Bao's soldiers in the name of Cao Cao.

These soldiers recognized Liu Ye as the master, and he handed over to Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang.It's a pity that Liu Xun didn't listen to Liu Ye's advice, was attacked by Sun Ce, lost his territory, and fled to Xudu in despair.Liu Ye had no choice but to flee with Liu Xun.If you don't escape, you can't do it. The little overlord Sun Ce's murderous intent is relatively strong. When dealing with heroes from Jiangdong, he will kill if he refuses to accept.

According to historical records: Liu Ye will become Cao Cao's adviser and the veteran of the three dynasties of Cao Wei.

But so far, Liu Ye has not completely given up on the Han Dynasty.It is entirely possible to give Liu Xie a slightly bad idea, to test Liu Xie's IQ, heart and courage, to see if he has the potential to become a wise king, and whether he is worth serving.

If the person behind the scenes is Liu Ye, then based on Liu Xie's performance today, he should not be far from being eliminated.

Guo Jia decided to find a chance to meet Liu Ye first.As for Yang Xiu, this unlucky boy won't be able to play for a long time. When Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, the Yang family, as Yuan Shu's in-laws, will at least be skinned by Cao Cao.

Someone saluted outside the door: "Mr. Xun Ling, I'm going to Kong Gui. I have something to ask to see you."

Xun Yu: "Please come in, sit down and talk."

Kong Gui, courtesy name Shulin.It is the envoy of Yang Qiu, a small separatist force in Guanzhong, from Chang'an.

Guo Jia: According to unofficial history, Kong Gui was Cao Cao's male favourite.This man is young and weak, with delicate features, and he loves to smile, which is quite likable.

Kong Gui sat by the charcoal basin and warmed himself by the fire: "Half a year ago, Cao Sikong wrote to General Yang, asking if he could bring Duke Xun's coffin over here. This time I was on a mission to Xudu, so I brought it along the way."

Xun Yu's sixth uncle, Xun Shuang, died of illness in Chang'an. Due to the war, it has been impossible to transport the coffin back to his hometown for burial.Xun Yu often feels sad about this.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao solved a major issue for Xun Yu without saying a word.

Speaking of Cao Cao, even if he has a lot of bad habits, he is still a rare enlightened master.Knowing talents with eyesight and meticulous attention, without Cao Cao providing a stage to display their talents, there would be no Xun Yu and Guo Jia today.However, these talents have also made Cao Cao's career.

Xun Yu was very pleasantly surprised, thanked Kong Gui, said a few words kindly, and suddenly fell silent, as if he was about to say something.

Guo Jia vaguely knew what Xun Yu was thinking, and said for him: "Brother Kong, Mr. Xun Ling has a Bole, whose surname is He, whose name is Yong, and whose style name is Boqiu. During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, He Boqiu died in Chang'an Imperial Prison. I heard that he could not be contacted. His clansman was buried in a mass grave with a straw mat. If it is convenient for you, can you help to find it? It is best to buy him a coffin and collect his bones and send them to Xudu."

Kong Gui looked at Xun Yu, saw him nodding, and showed a bright smile: "Convenience, convenience. It is a great honor to be able to work for Xun Lingjun."

Xun Yu handed the money bag to Kong Gui: "This is the money to buy the coffin, and I will thank you afterwards."

Kong Gui declined: "A coffin doesn't cost a lot of money. At this time next year, I will come to Xu Zhe to congratulate."

Xun Yu: "You just keep it. Is there any reason to entrust someone to do things and let people pay for it?"

On the day Xun Shuang was buried in the Xun family's ancestral grave, Xun Yu planted a cypress tree beside the grave.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Guo Jia fulfilled his promise last year and took Xiao Yi'er back to Yang Zhai's hometown to visit the grave, and Xun Yu accompanied him all the way.When kowtowing in front of Guo's mother's tomb together, Guo Jia had the illusion of a family of three.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yangdi, Yingchuan, the old house of Guofu.A few boys were sweeping snow in the yard, making rustling noises.

The smoke from the stove was billowing, and Guo Jia was lazily reading a silk book lying on Xun Yu's lap, never expecting to be caught by his uncle Guo Xi.
