Chapter 196: Jia Xu's Test
Liu Xuan's face was serious, and he said slowly: "I was appointed as the county guard of Donglai County, Qingzhou, and asked Mr. Jia to analyze the situation for me." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmm!"
Jia Xu's pupils shrank, and his eyes were surprised and surprised.
When Liu Xuan asked the question, Jia Xu had already made a prediction in his heart, guessing that Liu Xuan's question should be the impact and consequences of marrying Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo's daughters at the same time? In Jia Xu's view, Liu Xuan married the daughters of both parties at the same time, taking advantage of it.
Both parties married their daughters to Liu Xuan, and each paid a considerable price.
However, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Wang Yun, they have not been rewarded, and they can still completely win over Liu Xuan.
In such a situation, Liu Xuan's value made both sides unwilling to win over Liu Xuan completely. Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun competed, and Liu Xuan, the person who was caught in the middle, could obtain the benefits of both parties.
Even, Liu Xuan's question shocked Jia Xu.
Jia Xu once thought that Dong Zhuo would find a way to keep Liu Xuan, so that Liu Xuan had to stay in Chang'an. But Liu Xuan's appointment must have come from Dong Zhuo's appointment, otherwise the imperial court would not have been able to give the appointment.
It's shocking.
After a moment, Jia Xu regained his composure. He smiled slightly and congratulated: "It is a great thing that the prince was appointed by the imperial court as the county guard of Donglai, congratulations to the prince." ”
Liu Xuan's expression was calm, and he said solemnly: "Mr. has praised it, I am worried about this matter." Governing a county, not governing a county and a city, I am inexperienced, so I have come to ask Mr. ”
Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "The old man can't answer the question of the son. ”
"Why?"
Liu Xuan had a puzzled look on his face.
With Jia Xu's ability, let alone a county, even if it is a country, it is not a problem.
Jia Xu said: "There are two reasons why the old man can't answer. First, the old man does not understand the situation in Donglai County, and if he analyzes it in vain, he will mislead the son; Second, the prince grew up in Beihai and knew the situation in Beihai and even Donglai County well. The son of the world is very intelligent, and he thinks that he has a plan in mind, so why bother to ask the old man for advice? ”
Liu Xuan chuckled and said, "Mr. said he was joking." ”
Jia Xu smiled lightly, avoided the topic of Donglai County, and said, "The prince can make the prime minister not retained, and he can also let the prime minister willingly release you as an official." This ability is really extraordinary. ”
Liu Xuan said: "It also depends on the prime minister's reasonableness. ”
Jia Xu smiled, changed his words, and asked, "Is there anything else to do with the prince?" ”
Liu Xuan's face froze, and Jia Xu's words obviously meant to send off the guest. He came to visit Jia Xu this time, and the gift of books and asking for advice were just means, not an end, his purpose was to subdue Jia Xu.
Before you get to the point, you're going to be driven away, which is absolutely not good.
Liu Xuan said: "Sir, there is a third thing below. ”
Jia Xu said: "The son of the world, please speak." ”
Liu Xuan said: "I want to ask Mr. to come out and give me advice." ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said very simply: "The kindness of the son of the world, the old man understands it." It's a pity that the old man is in the imperial court and has an official position, so he can't serve the prince, please forgive me. ”
If he refused, Liu Xuan was helpless.
The old fox in front of him is not so easy to subdue.
Liu Xuan was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. has a plan, I am not reluctant, please consider it." I still have something to deal with, so I won't bother Mr. and come back next time. ”
"Shizi, please."
Jia Xu stood up and personally sent Liu Xuan away.
Back in the hall, Jia Xu saw Tong'er sitting in front of the brazier and roasting the fire, and ordered: "Tong'er, the coals can't be wasted so much, pick up the ones that haven't burned much and keep them for later." ”
"Yes!"
The boy was very reluctant to bring iron tongs and picked up the coals one by one.
A few pieces of coals were sandwiched, and the heat dropped a lot.
Jia Xu and Tong'er roasted around the stove to resist the winter chill.
Tong Er looked at Jia Xu puzzled and asked, "Master, the prince has come to invite you twice, why don't you go?" As long as you agree to help Liu Xuan, we don't have to suffer from the cold, and this winter will be better. ”
Jia Xu smiled and replied, "You little ghost, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The old man is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? The old man had to test Liu Xuan's patience. Young people are ambitious, easy to be empty-eyed, and arrogant. The most taboo thing about being a person and doing things is a lack of patience. If Liu Xuan can come to visit again, the old man will make plans again. ”
Tong'er thought for a while, and then said, "You are not willing to help Liu Xuan for the time being, so why don't you go to the door?" I heard that the officials who returned to Chang'an with you went to visit Li Ru and all of them were given important positions. ”
Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he said categorically: "The old man doesn't care about it, as long as he can live his life." ”
The boy nodded as if he didn't understand, concentrating on the fire.
In the hall, quietly.
Jia Xu took out the "Liutao" sent by Liu Xuan and read it carefully, his expression was focused, and he was already intoxicated. This set of books is quite good in terms of the material of the bamboo slips and the content of the records.
Liu Xuan found such a book, which can be regarded as a matter of thought.
"I don't know, do you still have the patience?"
Jia Xu asked in his heart. Immediately, Jia Xu buried himself in reading again, immersed in the world of the book.
"Boom! Boom! ”
There was a knock on the door.
After Jia Xu and Tong'er heard the voice, Tong'er hurriedly ran out of the hall. When he opened the door, he exclaimed, "Wow, there's a lot of charcoal, and there is wine, meat, and clothing." ”
Tong'er's voice attracted Jia Xu, and he put down the "Liutao" in his hand and walked to the gate.
At the gate, there were several porters, carrying charcoal, wine, meat, and warm clothes.
Jia Xu's gaze fell on Shi A.
Shi A had a smile on his face, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mr. Jia, in Xia Shi'a, is the entourage of Liu Xuan, the prince of Beihai. These are arranged by Shizi, please accept them. ”
Jia Xu had a smile on his face, and said in his heart: Liu Xuan has a keen insight and a meticulous mind.
came and found his predicament. Liu Xuan did not send money directly, but sent someone to send the items he needed. Obviously, Liu Xuan was worried that Jia Xu would not accept the money, so he arranged it like this.
Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”
Shi Ah waved his hand and said, "Quick, pick it in." ”
The porters quickly got everything in and exited the yard.
Jia Xu said with a straight face: "Shi Zhuangshi, tell the prince for me, thank him for his kindness." It was cold, I asked Tong'er to warm a cup of hot wine, and Shi Zhuangshi took a sip of hot wine to warm up his body before leaving. ”
Shi Adao: "Mr. Jia is kind, Shi Axin has it, but he has to go back to recover his life and say goodbye." ”
With that, Shi Ah turned around and left.
Jia Xu watched Shi A and the others leave, and then returned to the hall. Tong'er sat beside the brazier and said happily: "Master, with all this charcoal, wine, meat and clothing, we don't have to worry about the cold, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing." ”
Jia Xu smiled, with a smile in his eyes.
Shi A returned to his residence, came to the study and reported to Liu Xuanyu, and said, "Shizi, Jia Xu has accepted it, let me convey my gratitude." ”
Liu Xuan said: "Got it, you go get busy." ”
"No!"
Shi Ah clenched his fists, turned around and retreated.
A smile appeared on Liu Xuan's face, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart. Jia Xu accepted the charcoal and other items sent, which meant that Jia Xu did not refuse him. With Jia Xu's temperament, at least it proves that Jia Xu's mind is loose.
Liu Xuan wanted to subdue Jia Xu, and he took another step closer.
