Chapter 15: Courage and Courage
"Who's down there?"
Guo Jia came to the minister, this person stood in the forefront of civil and military, and his official position should not be low.
The man raised his face, glanced at Guo Jia with slanted eyes, and said proudly: "Hanoi Zhang's, Sikong Zhang Xi, and Shangshu Ling......"
He was going to continue to report the next series of official positions, and Guo Jia raised his hand to signal him to stop talking.
Sikong!
Ranked in the third public!
Absolute official, as for where he was born in the Zhang family in Hanoi, Guo Jia is not interested in exploring.
The formation of the political group of the scholar clan did not exist in the founding of the Han Dynasty, but the rule was corrupt, and in the past 100 years, foreign relatives and eunuchs took turns to control the government, and the emperor was deaf.
For example, Yingchuan Xun's family, Xun Yu belongs to the third generation, the second generation is Xun Shuang and others, and the first generation is Xun Shu and so on.
Another example is the deceased Situ Wang Yun, he is the first generation leader of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and after that, the second and third generations of the Taiyuan Wang clan in history have produced many high-ranking figures such as Situ, Sikong, and Thorn History.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the early stage of the formation and development of the scholar clan, and it was decades later in history that Cao Wei was promoted by the Jiupin Zhongzheng system when he founded the country.
At present, in the early stage of the formation of the gate valve, it is the Yuan family that really integrates a scattered group of scholars for their own use.
The first generation of the leader of the Yuan family, Situ Yuan An, the second generation of the leader of the Yuan family, Sikong Yuan Chang, the third generation of the leader of the Yuan family, Taiwei Yuan Tang, the fourth generation of the leader of the Yuan family, Sikong Yuan Feng, Taifu Yuan Kui.
The foundation laid by the four generations of leaders was passed to the hands of the fifth generation leader, Yuan Shao, and he had the strong capital of the four generations and the three princes.
changed to other local scholars, who can compare to the Yuan family?
Now these civil and military officials in the palace, even if they have some local foundations, they are too shallow, such as the Boling Cui clan, the Yingchuan Zhong clan, and the Hongnong Yang clan...... The gate valves of these local wealthy families who were born into the Shi clan really rose, and they have to wait for Cao Pi to take the throne, now? The waves they can set off are not to be feared, otherwise, they will not fall into a miserable situation of dying.
"In Xia Guojia, he came from a humble background and is not worth mentioning."
Guo Jia finished speaking softly, turned around again, took two steps forward, and arched his hand towards Liu Xie, who had an embarrassed expression on the throne: "Your Majesty, after the ministers exterminated Li Dao and Guo Yan, I learned that there were ministers in the court who were in the same stream with the two thieves, and among them was Sikong Zhang Xi. Minister, I am willing to kill the annihilation for Your Majesty and purge the court and the opposition! Dian Wei, dragged the annihilator Zhang Xi out and beheaded him! ”
Everyone was in an uproar, all shocked!
Liu Xie's pupils shrank, and he looked at Guo Jia, who was looking up at him expressionlessly, and a cold air flow suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, sweeping through the hundreds of bones.
"Guo Jia, do you dare to commit murder in front of Your Majesty? Slander as a courtier! You deserve death! ”
Zhang Xi kept shouting when he was dragged out by Dian Wei, but he still couldn't change his fate.
The ministers were stunned! Ma Teng Han Sui was also stunned!
Liu Xie couldn't help but tremble, at this moment, has you seen the poor dagger?!
"Guo Jia, Zhang Sikong is loyal to His Majesty, how can he fornicate with Li Dao Guo Yan, you don't want to spew blood!"
Dong Cheng pointed at Guo Jia angrily, and Guo Jia looked up at Liu Xie's gaze and slowly lowered his gaze, not looking at Dong Cheng, and said softly: "Dare to ask who is here?" ”
Dong Cheng, who was thunderous, was speechless for a while, and he was still articulate just now, but now he can't spit out half a word.
If he reported himself, would he be framed by Guo Jia again?
Outside the hall, Zhang Xi's scolding disappeared, there was no scream when he cut off his head, and the knife fell in his hand, crisp and neat, and the world was quiet.
"Your Majesty, Guo Jia has made meritorious contributions to suppressing thieves, and Zhang Sikong has fornicated with traitors and deserves death."
Zhong Xuan said lightly with an expressionless face.
The ministers in the hall all looked at Zhong Xuan suspiciously, and then looked at Guo Jia, who was slightly indifferent.
Did Zhong Miao defect to Guo Jia?
At least some of the ministers will speculate like this, followed by Zhong Xuan, and after Fu Wan, he also bowed his head and hugged his fists to second.
Liu Xie's face was bloodless, and he watched that people below kept coming out to echo Guo Jia's actions, and the first thought in his mind was that they all fell to Guo Jia.
Even if Zhang Xi is really Li Dao Guo Yan's minion, even if Zhang Xi is punished for his crimes, it will not be Guo Jia's turn to do it!
I'm still there!
But Guo Jia has already killed people, and besides, he can kill more!
Thinking about it this way, Liu Xie understood Zhong Xuan's intentions.
This is to give both sides a step down.
For the sake of a Zhang Xi, for the sake of some face, do you really want to force Guo Jia to wield a butcher knife?
Are there still few people who have been forced to rebel in the Han over the years?
Even if Guo Jia has no merit, he has an army, and he has already controlled the army in Luoyang!
Kill the king, in a thought!
"Since Aiqing has evidence of Zhang Xi's collaboration with the enemy, Zhang Xi's death is innocent."
Liu Xieqiang smiled and said bluntly.
Now, he's figured it out.
Guo Jia is meritorious, a soldier and a general.
He can be wooed or ignored.
However, it must not be taken lightly or angered.
Zhang Xi died, it was Zhang Xi who angered Guo Jia.
Everyone in the world can insult Guo Jia behind his back and curse Guo Jia.
can also be in front of Guo Jia.
However, you do so at your own risk.
Guo Jia killed Zhang Xi, it was as easy as a snap, and the consequence was nothing more than to anger Liu Xie.
Guo Jia knew this, but he still ordered to kill Zhang Xi, the reason was very simple.
Even though the killing of Li Dao and Guo Yan was because the two of them were obstacles that Guo Jia had to remove from his advance, he also helped Liu Xie avenge his hatred.
He came thousands of miles to Luoyang to bring food to the Son of Heaven and his ministers, not asking them to be grateful and virtuous, but at least a basic respect can be obtained, right? Not too much to ask, right?
Zhang Xi spoke disrespectfully, even in front of Guo Jia and Guo Ye's father and son.
Complain with grievances, you don't respect me, pay it back a hundredfold.
Zhong Xuan was the first person to see cause and effect, he had been to Chengdu and had a brief contact with Guo Jia.
Guo Jia is not a person who likes to make great achievements, let alone a person who is willing to show off his martial arts.
His killing of Zhang Xi is a personal grudge, not a deterrent to anyone, and there is no insinuation.
Therefore, he was the first to come forward to echo Guo Jia in order to stop the turmoil.
If the Son of Heaven is angry because of Zhang Xi's death, if the officials rise up and attack him.
Today, Yang Andian is afraid that there will be a river of blood.
"Your Majesty, as a pastor of Yizhou, the minister will return to Chengdu to take care of government affairs, and retire first."
Guo Jia bowed and saluted, intending to leave.
As for whether to return to Chengdu or Chang'an, no one can restrict him.
"Fengxiao, please stay!"
Liu Xie suddenly got up and shouted, his outstretched hand as if he wanted to hold Guo Jia.
Guo Jia frowned slightly, not knowing what else Liu Xie would do.
Don't force me to kill again!
"Zhong Aiqing retreated first, and Fengxiao stayed."
The ministers hesitated, afraid that Guo Jia would be unfavorable to the Son of Heaven, and suddenly realized that Guo Jia was going to harm the Son of Heaven, and they were all the same.
The hundred officials retreated, the eunuchs were also repatriated, and only the high Son of Heaven Liu Xiehe stood straight and bowed his head indifferently in the Yang An Palace.
In the dead and silent hall, Liu Xie looked down at Guo Jia for a long time, without saying a word, and suddenly walked down and stopped in front of Guo Jia.
Raising his head slightly, Guo Jia saw Liu Xie's complicated expression, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, back then, it was the minister who failed you. ”
Guo Jia once told Liu Xie that as long as Cai Yan got out of trouble, he would serve Liu Xie, but he broke his promise.
At the foot of Kunshan Mountain, when he confronted Dong Zhuo, Guo Jia didn't even mention Liu Xieti.
But at that time, Guo Jia didn't mention Liu Xie, it was for Liu Xie's good.
Dong Zhuo will not let Liu Xie go, and if he dies, he will not.
"Fengxiao, I don't understand, I never understand, I treat you with sincerity, love for talent, the sky can learn from it. Why are you filial piety, but you are unwilling to be loyal to me? ”
Liu Xie's face was regretful, and he couldn't figure out Guo Jia's attitude.
Although Guo Jia killed Li Dao and Guo Yan and sent food, all of which seemed to be well-intentioned, Liu Xie still felt that he was not one step away from Guo Jia, and the hearts of the two were far from each other.
Looking at Liu Xie, who was half the same as back then, Guo Jia stood opposite him, still looking down.
With a slight sigh, Guo Jia smiled lightly, as if mocking.
"Your Majesty, the prince's association back then would never ask the ministers this question."
From Guo Jia's point of view, the eight-year-old Prince's Association is more outstanding and unique than the current sixteen-year-old Tianzixie.
Liu Xie's expression was shocked, he forced Guo Jia to look at him, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by Feng Xiao's words?" ”
Guo Jia stared at Liu Xie solemnly, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, those who either kneel in front of Your Majesty are loyal ministers, and those who dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty are rebels." Dare to ask Your Majesty, the minister killed Zhang Xi, does Your Majesty have anger in his heart? Please be honest. ”
Liu Xie breathed shortly, gritted his teeth and said, "Fengxiao, shouldn't I be angry?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty should be angry." But Your Majesty, are you angry with your ministers, are you angry with Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu? ”
This question made Liu Xie's face bloodless and unable to answer.
Guo Jia killed one of the Liu family's dogs, but those princes can't say everything, at least many of them openly want to rob the Liu family.
Yuan Shao, who is now powerful among the princes, why didn't Liu Xie go to Yuan Shao to assist after he got out of trouble?
Stay in Luoyang and eat bark and grass roots and don't recruit the princes, why?
Because Liu Xie didn't trust those princes.
"Fengxiao, do you just stand idly by while seeing me in trouble?"
Compared with other princes, Liu Xie believed that Guo Jia would help him recover the mountains and rivers.
Because Guo Jia is the most backgroundless prince.
Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, Liu Xie was worried about Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions.
Cao Ying has the Cao family's Xiahou clan, and after becoming bigger, the monarch and ministers will inevitably change hands.
Liu Biao is the same sect of the Han family, and the emperor of the Liu family is often the heir of the same sect. Liu Xie couldn't believe him.
As for the other princes whose forces are inferior to these three families, there is nothing to rely on.
And Guo Jia, as if he is alone, his identity is the most suitable to help Liu Xiekuang to help the Han family, Zhongxing Han, and he can also easily achieve the situation of clamping Guo Jia.
It's just that Guo Jia's willingness or not is the key question.
"Your Majesty, the minister has already said that it is not that the minister is unwilling, but that His Majesty is unwilling to move to Chengdu."
Guo Jia looked disappointed.
Liu Xie, whose mother died tragically after birth, grew up in the palace and beware of the poisonous hand of the queen, he was eight years old and brilliant, and he saw it more clearly than many adults.
But over the years, after marrying the queen and accepting concubines, he has grown up in the gentle township, but he has become more and more mediocre.
If it was Liu Xie when he was eight years old, Guo Jia was sure that Liu Xie would definitely go to Chengdu with him.
Even if it is twenty years, thirty years, or even forty years, he is willing to wait.
But now, Liu Xie doesn't have the courage and courage.
