Chapter 43: Good intentions
readx;
The front hall of Guo's mansion was very lively, civil and military officials greeted each other, and everyone saluted continuously, talking and laughing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info//update fast//odd qi
When Guo Jia came out with Ma Jun, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high.
Some arrogant Wen Jin may still be dissatisfied with Ma Jun, but the generals respect Ma Jun like a god, and his hands, skillfully winning work, almost turning stones into gold, have a decisive contribution to the Taiping Army.
Ma Jun arched his hands and his face was full of red light, and he returned the salute with the civil and military who came to greet him, and after Guo Jia sat down, the civil and military officers also entered the table one after another according to their official positions.
Zhao Yun followed Guo Ye to be regarded as an outsider, and he planned to find a random place in the corner, but he was pulled by Guo Ye to sit down in the top three seats, Guo Ye was sandwiched in the middle, the top position was Ma Jun, and the opposite was Xi Zhicai Qin Mi and so on.
The wine and delicacies were delivered one by one, Guo Jia took the wine glass and said a toast before getting up and coming to Ma Jun.
"Deheng, without you, there would be no days of abundant food and clothing for the people under my rule, without you, there would be no guarantee for my Taiping army to fight on the battlefield and reduce damage, this cup of wine, I am not only on behalf of all the officials of Yizhou Mansion to respect you, but also on behalf of all the people under my rule to respect you, Ma Deheng, you are given to me by the gods."
The crowd in the hall looked at Ma Jun with a smile on their faces, Guo Jia's words were realistic, and they didn't join the club and thought that Guo Jia was exaggerating.
As soon as Ma Jun was excited, he couldn't speak, so he could only wave his hand again and again.
"Come, everyone, let's have a cup of Deheng together, this unique Ma Deheng with amazing work."
All the people present raised their glasses and saluted Ma Jun, Ma Jun was really flattered, he did have a transcendent status in the past, but it was the first time to be toasted by so many high-powered civil and military generals.
Everyone drank it all, Guo Jia laughed loudly, and the hall suddenly resounded with hearty laughter.
The atmosphere of the banquet was relaxed, the piano sounded in unison, the girls danced lightly, and Guo Jia sat on the main seat, looking complacent.
From time to time, there are civil ministers and military generals shuttling through the lobby, and they all come to toast Ma Jun.
This Yizhou driver, who has lived in Hanzhong for a long time, is not difficult to see Guo Jia's importance and appreciation for him.
Ma Jun has always treated Guo Jia's favor with humility and gratitude, so when he comes to toast, no matter whether the other party's official position is high or low, whether he knows it or not, he will humbly return the salute, without the slightest grandeur.
"Don't drive into it, there is something unclear below, please tell me the truth."
A strange man suddenly came next to him, looking at his bearing, heroic and extraordinary, Ma Jun hurriedly raised his cup and said, "Please, please speak." ”
Facing the prosperous scene of singing and dancing, Zhao Yun felt very heavy, and it seemed that everything in this hall or in Chengdu was not real.
He couldn't believe that there was still this piece of paradise in Jingran, not long ago, he followed Liu Bei all the way south from Xinye, the countless people who died on the road, their precarious days, how can they be compared with the life of the people of Yizhou living and working in peace and contentment?
"Dare to ask don't drive into the big way, with your talent, why don't you be loyal to the court? Even if the son is in trouble, there is still Uncle Liu Huang who is benevolent and righteous. ”
According to the usual thinking, talented people can naturally serve the royal family, and that can be regarded as contributing to the work of the country, even if there is no way to serve the orthodox emperor, there is also a Liu Bei who holds the banner of the Han family and has Han blood.
Ma Jun was dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Yun blankly, this question caught him off guard.
His complexion changed, the smile on his face was put away, and he was replaced with an indifferent look, Ma Jun frowned and asked, "You, where are you?" ”
Zhao Yun was just about to report to his home, and Peng Yi, who was sitting in a row behind Ma Jun, sneered with a smile: "This is the fierce general under the famous Uncle Liu Huang, Changshan Zhao Zilong." ”
For this kind of verbal ridicule, Zhao Yun didn't take it to heart at all, and after Ma Jun heard it, he suddenly realized.
No wonder Jing Ran asked him such a stupid question!
It turned out to be Uncle Liu's entry.
Flicking his sleeves and turning his face away, Ma Jun sank his face and said a simple and light word.
"If you have seen the scene of Guanzhong in the past under the poison of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan, you will not ask such a question, I don't care if you are the emperor's uncle or the minister, I only know that without the lord, there will be no current peace, don't think about replacing the lord, hum, I don't agree, and the people won't agree."
Ma Jun put down the wine glass, Zhao Yun's toast, he didn't appreciate it, and even got a little angry.
Zhao Yun was stunned, maybe it was the first time he met someone with such a straightforward temperament, he laughed when he was happy, and he was angry when he was unhappy, he had seen countless cities and mansions, but only Ma Jun, who was so glorious but still simple and simple.
Peng Yi sneered a few times not far behind him.
Zhao Yun walked back to his place and pondered Ma Jun's words.
Maybe his words are very simple, but they are also very rebellious, and it can be said that there is no child, but this kind of simple entry, and the words he says are the words of his heart.
Guo Jia has proved one thing under his rule, that is, he can benefit the common people, under his rule, there is no disorder, all walks of life are thriving, the law is strict and the order is stable.
Then, replacing Guo Jia with Liu Bei and Liu Xie, whether it can be done well and whether it can be surpassed is a question that never knows the answer, unless it is put into practice.
The feast continued, Zhao Yun turned a deaf ear to the laughter and joy in his ears, and he kept asking himself.
Now that it's too peaceful here, do you want to risk losing all this peace to overthrow Guo Jia?
If Liu Bei can't compare to Guo Jia, and Liu Xie can't do what Guo Jia does, then wouldn't the nearly 10 million people in these three points of death fall into a state of misery?
A heavy feeling lingered in Zhao Yun's heart.
The guests and hosts were happy, Guo Jia rarely got drunk, and walked towards the backyard with a body of alcohol.
Guo Ye wanted to help Guo Jia, who was fluttering on the road, but was stopped by Guo Jia waving his hand.
The night was dim, the courtyard was brightly lit, Guo Jia said to Guo Ye: "You will preside over all the ceremonies of the New Year." ”
Guo Ye was a little surprised, but he still nodded in response.
After the beginning of the year, not only Guo Jia, but also ordinary people are busy with a series of things.
For Guo Jia, the monarch, the sacrificial place is indispensable, and the sacrificial stove is an indispensable thing.
As a monarch and the head of the family, the celebration is generally presided over by Guo Jia himself, and now letting Guo Ye do it is actually hoping to subtly let more people understand Guo Ye's current status.
Guo Ye accompanied Guo Jia to the entrance of the courtyard, and Xiao Yi suddenly came to Guo Jiatong and reported: "Lord, Zhao Yun asks to see you." ”
His head was a little dizzy, and Guo Jia, who was dizzy, cheered up and walked to the pavilion and sat down, and asked Xiao Yi to invite Zhao Yun in.
Zhao Yun walked towards Guo Jia with an expressionless face, and without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, he made his intentions clear.
"If you don't give up, Yun is willing to follow the envoy to clear the past and reorganize the mountains and rivers."
Guo Jia opened his mouth wide, it seemed incredulous, he originally thought that Zhao Yun would either come to show him a showdown or die or leave, or return to the field to live in seclusion.
On the contrary, Guo Ye looked at Zhao Yun with a smile on his face, not surprised.
Guo Jia walked out of the pavilion and came to Zhao Yun, unable to hide his excitement, holding Zhao Yun's forearm with one hand, trembling slightly, Guo Jia said: "Thousands of troops are easy to find, Zilong, I have been waiting for your words for twenty years." ”
In terms of force alone, Guo Jia can compare Zhao Yun with Lu Bu, even if it is Lu Bu, all the princes have the heart to take it, but in Guo Jia's eyes, no matter how fierce Lu Bu is, he is not as good as Zhao Yun, because a military general who can take on a great task must also add wisdom and calmness.
Zhao Yun has figured it out, if you support an emperor who is difficult to become a great weapon, even if it succeeds, this premature will still be in turmoil on the 1st, and this world, you need a civil and martial arts outstanding and extraordinary king, he is just a general, it is impossible to create an ideal monarch, in order to end this troubled world as soon as possible, you can only choose one of the existing monarchs who can benefit the common people after the great decision.
Zhao Yun didn't say anything more about Guo Jia's excited expression, just saluted, and then retired, as for how Guo Jia arranged him, that was another matter.
Guo Jia asked Guo Ye to send Zhao Yun out of the house, looking at Zhao Yun's distant back, Guo Jia raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and smiled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Yun is willing to serve him, he only needs a relationship between a monarch and a minister, and he doesn't need to have a deep personal relationship, and Guo Jia doesn't want to deliberately establish such a relationship with Zhao Yun, sometimes, the relationship between the top and bottom is far deeper than friendship.
"Childe doesn't have to send it."
Out of the mansion, the night was bright and the stars were sparse, and under the moonlit street, Zhao Yun said goodbye to Guo Ye.
"General Zilong, please rest and recuperate, I believe that soon, you will become a general who cannot be ignored in the Taiping Army."
Guo Ye said to Zhao Yun with a smile.
With a wry smile, Zhao Yun was not optimistic, he was a general, and it was difficult to say whether Guo Jia would be entrusted with a heavy task immediately.
"I hope so."
Zhao Yun's unconvinced words made Guo Ye stunned.
"Don't General Zilong still understand that outside Huarong Dao that day, you fought fiercely with the eight generals of the Taiping Army, what was the purpose?"
Zhao Yun's face was shocked, after he sacrificed his life for Liu Bei that day, he didn't think too much about it even when he arrived today, he just thought it was a scene that happened on the ordinary battlefield.
Guo Ye shook his head and chuckled: "Maybe General Zilong doesn't know, there are martial arts in my Taiping Army, and as long as the candidates are extraordinary, they can rise to the top." General Zilong's record of defeating seven generals and one general has long been spread in the Taiping Army, no matter whether General Zilong goes or stays, your prestige is admired by the Taiping Army. ”
After saying that, Guo Ye bowed, turned around and returned to Guo's mansion.
Zhao Yun looked at the majestic mansion on the stairs and was silently distracted.
On that day, Guo Jiazhen wanted to kill Liu Bei, and ten Zhao Yun were bound to die after they were broken.
Guo Jia just forced Liu Bei into a desperate situation, but after Zhao Yun was broken outside Huarong Dao, he had a whim to subdue Zhao Yun.
Fighting generals, Guo Jia does not advocate.
But to help Zhao Yun Liwei, Guo Jia is a gesture.
This painstaking effort, if Guo Ye doesn't say it, Zhao Yun probably won't understand it in a short time.
How fierce Zhao Yun is, it's not that Guo Jia has entered the service when he says it, he has to prove it himself, this opportunity, before he surrendered, Guo Jia gave him it.
