If you don't explode in silence, you die in depression. Guo Tu is not unclear about what kind of risks will be brought by betraying the master, but he has been depressed in Hebei for too long, since Yuan Tan lost power, Guo Tu has been unlucky, Yuan Xi's distrust, the exclusion of former colleagues, Guo Tu is full of resentment towards the Yuan family. It's just that as an old minister of the Yuan family, Guo Tu always has a trace of loyalty to the Yuan family in his heart, and he is subconsciously unwilling to betray, but as Yuan Xi sent him to prison without hesitation, the only remaining trace of loyalty also disappeared.

Impulsiveness is the devil! Guo Tu couldn't forgive Yuan Xi for not caring about his past dedication to the Yuan family and not hesitating to send himself to prison. He wants Yuan Xi to pay a heavy price for this, even if they die together, and Yuan Xi wants Yuan Xi to regret the injustice he treated at the beginning.

Guo Tu is not stupid, he was able to become one of the six strategies around Yuan Shao back then, and his own talent was naturally outstanding. It's just that Guo Tu is talented but not virtuous, and his selfishness is too heavy, which makes others have a bad opinion of Guo Tu. If you want to say that you are planning a rebellion, if you succeed, you will be prosperous and rich, and if you lose, you will be in a different place, Guo Tu is naturally cautious.

Especially after Chen Gong categorically rejected his suggestion, Guo Tu stayed alone in the room after sending off the guests and carefully sorted out what happened, and couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat.

Afraid! Thanks to today, he only hinted and didn't say it explicitly, otherwise maybe the news of his intentional betrayal at this time had been sent to Yuan Xi and Tian Feng.

There are inner ghosts around you!

Guo Tu finally realized this serious problem. Otherwise, Jia Mu's conversation with himself would not have reached Yuan Xi's ears so quickly, otherwise Yuan Xi would have sent himself to prison without saying a word. If Jia Mu wants to recruit himself, it is impossible to inform, and the person who informs Yuan Xi can only be the people around him.

If the king is not secret, he will lose the country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life. Guo Tu was dissatisfied with Yuan Xi's unfairness towards him, but this did not mean that he really planned to die with Yuan Xi. Let Yuan Xi pay a heavy price, but he went to the court to sit on the high-ranking officials and ride the horses, this is the result that Guo Tu hopes to achieve the most.

But if you want things to go well, the first thing to solve is the inner ghost lurking around you, otherwise everything is under the control of Yuan Xi and Tian Feng, what kind of victory do you want?

In order to avoid startling the snake, Guo Tu did not make a noise, but chose to observe secretly. There are only a few people around, and the one or more who are suspected is one or a few of those people. But in order to ensure safety, Guo Tu still decided to kill the mistake and not let it go, and in the following days, he randomly found an excuse, and sent all the Guo Mansion subordinates who were responsible for serving around him to Guo Mansion, and replaced a group of new people, and these newcomers, Guo Tu has the confidence to decide, not because of anything else, just because these people are all dead soldiers secretly raised by Guo Tu, and they have absolute loyalty to Guo Tu.

It seems that all the people who are a little powerful have the habit of raising the dead. Guo Tu is no exception, these dead soldiers were orphans who lost their parents in the war, Guo Tu adopted them, provided them with food and clothing, and found someone to teach them martial arts, so these people can be said to be loyal to Guo Tu, even if they let them die for Guo Tu without any hesitation. For these people, Guo Tu is absolutely assured.

Guo Tu's side suddenly changed, which suddenly made Yuan Xi and Tian Feng a little unable to cope. There is no warning beforehand, and even if you want to buy it again, it will take time. And Guo Tu also took advantage of the gap between Yuan Xi and Tian Feng to respond to the situation, and secretly began to contact the people in Yecheng who were also dissatisfied with Yuan Xi's favor and Tian Feng.

Meng Ziyun is a giant room for political crimes. The so-called giant room refers to the privileged class. And the privileged class of the Han is the big family. In fact, no matter which dynasty it is, the rulers will not easily offend the privileged class, because it is easy to shake their own country. And the giant room is also constantly changing its identity with the change of dynasties. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were aristocrats, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, they became a big family, and in modern times, they became wealthy chaebols.

Liu Xiegui is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, but he also needs to be cautious when facing the family, lest he overstimulate the family and cause the world to fall into chaos again. There is no way, the big families generally have huge human and material resources, if they unite to rebel, then Liu Xie is very likely to return to the pre-liberation overnight, even if the final victory is achieved, it will be a tragic victory, without thirty years of recuperation, it will not be able to slow down at all.

Fortunately, Liu Xie was not reckless, and when dealing with the problems of the family, he adopted the strategy of winning over a group, supporting a group, and suppressing a group. The Xun family represented by Xun Yu and the Zhong family represented by Zhong Xuan belong to the group that is being wooed, and the Cai family behind Cai Yong, the Lu family behind Lu Zhi, and the Zheng family of Zheng Xuan, and Kong Rong's Kong family belong to the category of support. As for those who were suppressed, they were naturally those families who supported the princes of Yuan Xi, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.

Where there are people, there will be fighting, and the more the fighting at the top, the more tragic it will be. There are so many social resources, if you occupy a little less, I can occupy a little more, the Xun family and the Zhong family, who are proficient in the way of self-preservation, still know how to restrain and control their greed, but like the Cao family and the Xiahou family, who have just joined the imperial court, they urgently need fresh blood to make up for their losses.

When the general trend is today, the imperial court is the strongest, Hebei is second, Jiangdong and Jingnan are not the same. The Cao family and the Xiahou family want to make up for their own losses, and their targets are only Hebei, Jiangdong, and Jingnan. At present, Jingnan is at war with Jiangdong, but Liu Xie has made it clear that he will not participate in it in the short term, and the only remaining target is Hebei.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Guo Jia, they don't believe that Liu Xie's preparation to send troops this time is just to suppress the newly rising Qianren forces in the grassland, they prefer to believe that Liu Xie is preparing to hug the grass and beat rabbits, and after cleaning up the arrogant Qianren, they will turn around and deal with Yuan Xi in Hebei.

Although Cao Cao has now gone to the Western Regions to take office, for the sake of the future of the Cao family, he sent his eldest son Cao Ang, who was supposed to go to the Western Regions with him, to Liu Xie's side, and served as Liu Xie's personal guard together with his third son Cao Zhang. And the old generals of the Cao clan, such as Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren, who had the same idea as Cao Cao, also stuffed their own children to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie couldn't laugh or cry at this. The recovery of Hebei is certain, but the time has not come, what do the Cypriots do for themselves at this time? When you are a "nursery"? But this can't be said to Cao Cao and others, Cao Cao and others sent their children to serve under their own accounts, which is also a way to show loyalty, how can they refuse.

Cao Cao and others took the lead, and the rest of the generals of the imperial court who were guarding one side outside also expressed their opinions, Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, Xu Huang's son Xu Gai, Zhao Yun's son Zhao Tong, and Dian Wei's son Dian Man...... Almost all people who have children under their knees send their children to Liu Xie, even if they have no heirs for the time being, they will select a child from their own clan to send them.

It's really a "nursery school"!

However, depressed and depressed, Liu Xie is still a little happy, these people sent are some newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, although the temperament may not be calm enough, but the fight will definitely bring unexpected joy to himself. And more importantly, with these second generations, it means that Dahan does not have to worry about the situation of green and yellow.

Liu Xie personally met with these second generations, and after some encouragement, except for Zhao Tong and Lu Sheng, the rest were all sent away by Liu Xie, and they went home to find their own mothers. left Zhao Tong and Lu Sheng, that is because these two are related to Liu Xie, Liu Xie is Zhao Tong's uncle, and Lu Sheng is Liu Xie's brother-in-law.

After pacifying his own interior, Liu Xie set his sights on Hebei again, and Jia Mu reported to himself on his actions in Yecheng after returning to Chang'an. Liu Xie was noncommittal about Jia Mu's recruitment of Guo Tu, and whether it succeeded or not, it would not have much impact on the imperial court.

"Lord, could it be that Weichen did something wrong?" Jia Mu saw that Liu Xie didn't seem to be very interested in recruiting Guo Tu, so he couldn't help but ask with some worry.

"You're right, Guo Tu is also an old minister of the Yuan family, if he can really return to the imperial court, it will also have a certain effect on the Yuan family. However, Guo Tu is now very unsatisfactory in Hebei, and Yuan Xi does not trust Guo Tu, so Guo Tu's influence on Hebei will not be very great. Even if he succeeds, the loss to Hebei may not be as great as you think. ”

"The lord doesn't seem to like Guo Tu very much."

"Well, I don't really like this guy. The ability is there, but the character is too much, and the jealousy can not be said, and the big thing is often delayed because of this problem. Even if this kind of person really votes for the imperial court, I will not reuse it. Success is not enough and there is more than failure, this is the person who is talking about. Liang Dao, you are Wenhe's son, so I have high expectations for you, so I won't mention this matter, but I don't want there to be a next time, you can understand. ”

"Yes, Weichen understands that he doesn't dare to make his own decisions again." Jia Mu saw Han on his forehead and hurriedly reassured.

"Hey~ You misunderstood, you will not be affected by the king's life outside. You are an envoy on behalf of the imperial court, so everything you do will be supported by the imperial court. I hope that you will be more cautious in making decisions in the future, rather than trying to make you look forward and backward from now on. ”

"Yes, Weichen understands, thank you for not blaming the lord."

"Huh...... As soon as I think of how Wenhe will teach you a lesson after you go home, I can't punish you anymore. Liu Xie said to Jia Mu with a smile, and Jia Mu was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Jia Xu treated Jia Mu and Jia visited the two brothers very harshly, and Jia Mu can be said to have grown up under Jia Xu's stick. So when I heard Liu Xie say that Jia Xu was already waiting for him at home, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

“…… My lord, I don't know how my father intends to teach the ministers. Jia Mu asked Liu Xie tentatively.

"Don't worry, you can't die."

It's no wonder if you don't worry! Jia Mu is not worried that his father Jia Xu will really kill his relatives in righteousness, but Jia Xu's education has always been impressive, and when he thinks of the experience of being educated again and again in the past, Jia Mu suddenly feels that it doesn't matter whether he goes home or not.

"Come, send him home, make sure he sees his father." Liu Xie seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts, and without waiting for Jia Mu to think about where to avoid the limelight in the past few days, he ordered someone to send Jia Mu home.

"My lord, why do you have to do this?" Jamu was shocked.

"Oops~ If you don't fight, you won't have a long memory, but you will be beaten left and right, and you haven't been beaten. Go ahead, I'll grant you a few days off to recuperate at home. ”

"The lord is slow, let the minister say another word."

"Holy Lord, Lord Jia asked to see him outside the palace gate, saying that he wanted to ask Lord Xiao Jia to spare his life."

"Huh...... Look, Jamu, your father is worried that you won't come home, so he came to pick you up in person. Liu Xie smiled and said to Jia Mudao, whose face was bitter.

“…… Lord, the minister knows that he is wrong, and he hopes that the lord will save the minister for the sake of being young and ignorant. Jia Mu asked Liu Xie for help with a bitter face.

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiele said. To be honest, Liu Xie didn't care about Jia Mu's private recruitment of Guo Tu without the permission of the imperial court, but Jia Mu's mistake was that he should not have made a promise to Guo Tu when recruiting Guo Tu. It's okay to solicit, but what treatment to give, that's not something Jamu should decide. Fortunately, Jia Mu still knows the importance of the point, and he promised Guo Tu what princely position he did without a mouth, otherwise even Liu Xie would not be able to guarantee Jia Mu's thoughtfulness.

Jamu is a special envoy of the imperial court, and his words and deeds represent the imperial court. His promise, that is the promise of the imperial court. Once Guo Tu really escaped from Hebei and returned to the imperial court, the imperial court must fulfill the promise that Jia Mu gave Guo Tu at that time, otherwise it will be a breach of trust, and the impact will be extremely serious.

Jia Mu is young and can't think of it so far, but his son Jia Xu has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not figure out these joints. When he learned that Jia Mu made a promise to Guo Tu with the defense of a county, Jia Xu couldn't wait to slap Jia Mu to death. It's so ignorant!

By the time Jia Mu returned to Chang'an and went to the palace to restore his life, Jia Xu was already ready to "welcome" his son at home. It's just that the left can't wait to come back, and the right can't come back, Lao Jia can't wait, so he personally brought it to the gate of the palace to block Jia Mu.

What does it mean that a mouse meets a cat? is talking about Jia Mu's reaction after seeing Jia Xu at this time. Jia Xu ignored his son, who showed a flattering smile to him, and saluted Liu Xie: "Old minister Jia Xu, please meet the lord." ”

"Wenhe doesn't have to be polite, you are a close person by my side, so I won't talk nonsense for a while. Jamu will be brought back by you to teach him not to make such a mistake next time. ”

"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness." Jia Xu saluted again. Then he turned his head and shouted to Jamu, "Evil obstacles! He did not come home with his father. ”

“…… Lord, the minister is gone, and I hope that the lord will burn more paper money for the minister today next year. Jia Mu didn't dare to resist, so he could only ask Liu Xie for help pitifully.

Liu Xie couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said to Jia Xu with a black face: "Wenhe, if you give me a face, this time I will focus on persuasion and education, and don't use my sword." ”

“…… Since the lord spoke openly, the old minister had no objection. Jia Xu bowed down to receive the order, turned around and shouted to Jia Mu: "Evil obstacles! What to do here! Waiting for the lord to enjoy the meal? ”

Jia Mu left the palace step by step, and when he returned home, when he saw his father picking up the big stick placed behind the door, Jia Mu was almost frightened, and took a few steps back to remind Jia Xu: "Father, you promised the saint that you will not use swords this time." ”

"Bastard thing! Get on my knees! Jia Xu shouted angrily.

"Father, father, angry." Just as Jia Mu knelt on the ground and was about to bear Jia Xu's anger, Jia Mu's brother Jia Wan pounced, hugged Jia Xu's thigh and pleaded.

"Wan'er, you get out of the way, don't beat your brother for the sake of your father."

"Father, how about the boy helping his father with the stick?" Jia Wan couldn't believe it and asked tentatively.

"Here you go!" Jia Xu couldn't cry or laugh, and stuffed the big stick in his hand to Jia Wan. The eldest son knelt in front of him, the second son hugged his thighs, and the father and son staged a "life and death parting" at the gate, Jia Xu couldn't afford to lose that person.

After getting the "murder weapon", Jia Wan hurriedly retreated to the side, and saw Jia Xu walking in front of Jia Mu, and ordered in a deep voice: "Follow me to the ancestral hall." ”

"Yes, father." Jia Mu had just gotten out of a big disaster, and at this time, he didn't dare to provoke Jia Xu easily, and he obeyed Jia Xu's words and didn't give Jia Xu any chance to go crazy.

The ancestral home of the Jia family is Wuwei, Liangzhou, but with Jia Xu's return to the dynasty to take the position of ruling Jinwu, Jia Xu may not be able to return to his hometown in this life. In order to pay tribute to the ancestors, Jia Xu asked people to place an ancestral hall in the house, in addition to the usual use to worship the ancestors, more use is to teach children.

It is not the first time that Jia Mulai ancestral shrine has come back, and those who are familiar with it do not need Jia Xu's orders, and automatically and consciously kneel in front of the tokens of the ancestors and ancestors. Seeing this, Jia Xu coughed lightly and asked Jia Mudao: "Mu'er, do you remember the way your father taught you to be a minister?" ”

"The child remembers." Jamu replied quickly.

……

The words are divided into two ends, Jia Xu is busy educating his son, Liu Xie is not idle here, he is also educating his son Liu Kai. Not only Liu Kai, but also Deng Ai, who met in the early years, and Cao Cao's fifth son Cao Chong, plus Zhao Tong and Lu Sheng, the five little guys who are not worrying about it have a big incident in the palace today.

"Tell me, whose idea?" Liu Xie's face was ugly, and he glanced at the five people who were kneeling in front of him, their heads bowed. The five little guys didn't learn well, so they even went together to peek at people taking a bath. And what's even more unacceptable is that it's understandable to peek at the palace maid taking a bath, what are you doing when you go to peek at the maid taking a bath?

Five little guys, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. Liu Xie was not in a hurry, just watched quietly, and after a stalemate of about half a pillar of incense, Cao Chong opened his mouth and said to Liu Xie: "Holy Lord, it is the idea of the minister." ”

"No, it's the minister's idea." Lu Sheng also said when he heard this.

"It's not right, it's the minister's idea."

"Daddy, it's actually a child's idea."

Seeing that the five little guys all said that it was their own idea, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile: "Drink~ It's all very righteous, and I want to bear the fault alone...... Hehe, do you think I'll be moved to say this, so as to let you go? Don't even think about it! Liu Xie's face turned blank when he said this, and he ordered left and right: "Take them all down, one person will be punished to copy the Tao Te Ching ten times, and you will not be allowed to sleep if you don't finish copying it." ”

"Ahh No, Daddy (uncle, brother-in-law). Liu Kai, Zhao Tong, and Lu Sheng shouted in unison.
