Chapter 70: The Sudden Drop
The past year has been a bumper year for Guo Jia, and the recuperation has also been well rewarded, and after the spring test, there are new talents such as Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, Meng Da, Deng Zhi, Yan Yan, and Jiang Qin to strengthen their strength.
At this time, there is no separation between civil and military affairs, not only to learn etiquette and music, but also to learn to shoot royal, there are many people who can write and martial arts, not to read the book of sages and sages without the power of the chicken, nor to be able to ride and shoot well is necessarily lacking in literary talent, but there is still a difference in personal ideals, Chongwen and martial arts, everyone has different biases.
Fa Zheng, Huang Quan stayed in Chengdu and entered Yizhou Mansion, an office under Guo Jia's centralized rule, Yan Yan was sent by Guo Jia to Hanzhong to assist Zhang Liao in Hanzhong, Deng Zhi was sent to Jiangyang under Zhang Yan, Jiang Qin naturally went to Badong County with Zhou Tai brothers, and Meng Da and Wu Yi returned to Zitong County together and went to Jinfan Army to report.
Late at night in early summer, Guo Jia fell asleep for a long time, holding Zhen Jiang who was already pregnant in his arms, since he was pregnant last winter, to now, how long Zhen Jiang is pregnant, he and Zhen Jiang are not clear, only about five or six months, during the period of Zhen Jiang's pregnancy, Guo Jia spent almost every night in her room.
Xiao Yi, who was patrolling the house at night, suddenly woke up Guo Jia outside the door, which was very rare, especially after Guo Jia held Yizhou firmly in the palm of his hand.
After opening his eyes and whispering a promise to Xiao Yi outside the door, Guo Jiagang pulled out his arm from under Zhen Jiang's head, but he still alarmed Zhen Jiang cautiously.
Brushing the hair of his face behind his ears, Zhen Jiang opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Guo Jia, and before he opened his mouth, Guo Jia folded the quilt for her, and said softly: "You continue to sleep, Ye'er wants me to accompany him, I'll go see him." ”
As soon as his heart was relieved, Zhen Jiang showed a beautiful smile, closed his eyes and grabbed Guo Jia's hand and stroked it lightly on his face, then let go of his hand, and said with a smile on his pillow like a lotus jade arm: "Then husband, go quickly, and spend more time with Ye'er in Pingyue." ”
Withdrew his hand and put on his robe and walked out, Guo Jia had a solemn expression after facing Zhen Jiang with his back, Xiao Yi woke him up late at night, something big must have happened, but he didn't want Zhen Jiang to worry, rather than letting her think cranky, it was better to tell a lie to let her sleep peacefully.
opened the door and walked out, because it was already summer and it was not cold, Guo Jia saw that Xiao Yi was about to salute, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "How many times have you said it, you don't have to salute when you see me in the house." Go, go over and talk. ”
When he came to the courtyard, Xiao Yi handed a white silk to Guo Jia with a serious expression.
Guo Jia took it and unfolded it, looked down in the moonlight to take a closer look, and after reading it, the white silk had been pinched in his hand, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word, but soon regained his calm expression, and instructed Xiao Yi: "Summoning the civil and military, come to the mansion to discuss matters quickly." ”
After Xiao Yi got the order, he turned around to do it, and Guo Jia slowly began to put on the sleeve robe draped on his body neatly.
After getting dressed, Guo Jia walked to the door next door to Zhen Jiang, but the door was opened from the inside, and Diao Chan, who was dressed in pink and pink skirts, held a martial crown and looked up at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia asked in a low voice in surprise, "You didn't sleep?" ”
Diao Chan covered his loose upper clothes, and after looking left and right in the courtyard and finding that there was no one, he patted his full chest with a sigh of relief, and whispered to Guo Jia: "The slave and maid are easy to wake up when they sleep, General Xiao entered the courtyard, and the slave and maid woke up, and quietly got up to see what he was doing. ”
With fluffy and messy hair, he naturally can't go to see everyone, Guo Jia just wanted to wake up Diao Chan to help him comb his hair and wear a crown, this kind of work let him come by himself, I'm afraid he will really be in a hurry, and he is used to being served, this is the end.
Fortunately, Diao Chan was prepared, and after Guo Jia entered her room, she knelt down at the table and sat down, allowing Diao Chan to stand behind him, skillfully combing her hair, and putting on a martial crown.
"General, is there something big going on?" Diao Chan has some palpitations, every time someone comes to disturb Guo Jia at night, something big must happen, this point, Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang are not as timely as Diao Chan, because she serves Guo Jia meticulously.
"Nothing, don't think about it." Guo Jia's expression was not relaxed, and he was preoccupied.
Diao Chan kept his mouth shut, but he knew in his heart that it must not be a trivial matter, more than a year ago, people often came to disturb the rest, at that time, it was the time when the Yizhou rebellion was at its most violent, but at that time, Guo Jia did not have such a serious expression as he does now.
Standing up and asking Diao Chan to help him sort out his clothes, Guo Jia was stunned, Diao Chan smoothed the folds on his clothes, and said softly: "Don't worry, general, madam, the slave and maid won't talk much." ”
Guo Jia, who came back to his senses, looked at Diao Chan who was close in front of him, showed a smile, raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, and said, "Empathetic little Diao Chan, after I leave, you can go to bed and sleep." ”
Diao Chan blushed, the tip of his nose was also red, and after Guo Jia left, he rubbed his nose, his expression was happy, but he seemed to think of something, revealing a sad look.
After passing through the court, when Guo Jia came to the council hall, Xi Zhicai had already waited for a long time, in fact, he asked Xiao Yi to wake up Guo Jia, and he was closing his eyes in the hall at the moment.
Guo Jia's footsteps made him open his eyes, and the tired expression of Xi Zhicai changed, cheered up, and was about to bow to Guo Jia, but Guo Jia raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to, and asked solemnly: "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Xi Zhicai put away his hands to arch, his face was expressionless, although there was no one in the hall, he still said in a low voice: "If it is instructed by the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it will be out of control, the Han family, will not die in a short time, and the Son of Heaven insists on pushing the lord to the cusp, and the lord dominates the industry, and there are many resistances." ”
After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Guo Jia was speechless for a long time, and after staring at Xi Zhicai for a long time, Guo Jia also lowered his voice and said coldly: "If I coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, can I reverse the situation?" ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes widened, and he looked at Guo Jia in shock, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, his expression changed several times, and finally sighed: "No." If the lord holds the Son of Heaven hostage, he is no different from Dong Zhuo, but he is in the same situation as the princes. ”
Sighing on his back, Guo Jia actually knows it, but he likes to listen to opinions and brainstorm ideas, in case there is something he doesn't think about, maybe someone will take it into account.
His identity is simply impossible to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
At this time, the two brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao came from outside, saluted Guo Jia and wanted to ask questions, but Guo Jia walked back to the main seat and knelt down, closed his eyes and rested.
An hour later, in the meeting hall of the civil and military capitals in Chengdu, most of them had a tired look on their faces, after all, they were woken up from their sleep, and it was impossible to be energetic.
After the two columns of officials arrived, Guo Jia opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and raised his hand towards Xi Zhicai, who was enlightened, turned to face everyone, and said with an indifferent expression:
"Not long ago, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu in Chang'an, Situ Wang Yun then controlled the government with Lu Bu, Wang Yun entered the record of Shangshu, Lu Bu sealed Wenhou, General Fenwu, Fake Festival, Yibi Three Divisions."
Dong Zhuo is dead!?
Taishi Dong, who brought disaster to the country and the people, died like this?!
The hall was full of surprise, and the strategists were still pondering and digesting this sudden news, but Xu Chu had already come out and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, are you planning to use troops against Chang'an?" ”
Guo Jia raised his hand to signal Xu Chu and other generals to be calm and calm, and said, "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet." ”
Xu Chu replied in wonder, Dong Zhuo is dead, what else can happen?
Everyone else was also shocked, and Xi Zhicai turned around with a hesitant expression, but Guo Jia said with a hesitant face: "It's okay, read that text to them." ”
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and picked up a watch he had put down from the table in front of Guo Jia, which recorded the text issued by Chang'an.
"Heaven is the Father, the earth is the Mother, and the blessings and misfortunes should be answered, and each one will come down with something. ……”
This is a document of the Chang'an imperial court announcing to the world, and the more Tang Chinese Wu listens to it, the more difficult it is to calm down, and he grits his teeth and angry eyes, and he cannot calm down.
From Guo Jia's background, to Guo Jia's actions in Yingchuan, to repeated violations of the law, and then gathering people to rebel, etc., the words are conclusive and fiercely attacked.
At the end of the text, he called on the heroes to crusade against Guo Jia, and the Chang'an court had already sent Lu Bu to lead the troops south.
"Lord, since Lu Bu has come to send him to death by himself, I will give him a ride!" Dian Wei came out of the column with a calm face and hugged his fists, and Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Yi came out together behind him.
The generals only saw Lu Bu leading the army south, but they couldn't see the lethality behind this inscription, which had already made Guo Jia, who was calm on the surface, angry.
"Lu Bu is among the people, but he is brave enough to be afraid? Dian Wei, there is Zhang Liao in Hanzhong, Lu Bu dares to come, so he asks him to come and go. ”
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Dian Wei and the others had no choice but to go back to the queue to see what Guo Jia's plans were.
Suppressing his anger for the time being, Guo Jia looked at the strategists and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Xi Zhicai said lightly: "After the war, Lu Bu, look at the situation again." ”
After saying that, he went back to the column and said no more.
The other strategists looked uncertain, and this text was like a talisman for Guo Jia.
Because this is not from someone else's hand, but Wang Yun, if it is Dong Zhuo, it is better, but Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, the Chang'an court is presided over by Situ Wang Yun, the Han family seems to be resurrected, as if the gas is declining and prosperous, although the princes of all parts of the world are divided and dominated, but nominally, the world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty said that Guo Jia is a thief, far more lethal than other princes.
This means that it is natural for the princes to attack Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's attack on the princes is an absolute rebellion.
In Yizhou, he was planning to become a prince recognized by the world, but Guo Jia was beaten back to his original form by Wang Yun at this time, and even went further, making him irreversible.
Although Liu Yan was destroyed by Guo Jia, but Liu Yan had trespassed in Yizhou, the Son of Heaven had already heard of it, and he also sent someone to warn Liu Yan, but at that time, Emperor Ling of Han was terminally ill, even if Emperor Ling of Han was healthy, he was already unable to dominate the situation, but Liu Yan's heart of disobedience was a tacit fact, and even if the Son of Heaven did not notice, someone would secretly go to invite merit to report, not to mention that Liu Yan suppressed Yizhou Haoqiang and made many enemies.
Guo Jia raised troops, never shouted the slogan of overthrowing the Han family, Zhang Jiao's kind of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" big rebellious declaration, Guo Jia never said, and he killed Liu Yan Manmen, from another angle is to help the Han family clean up the door, but he does not have this qualification, does not have this power, so the world does not agree, but at least no one in the court will think that Liu Yan should not die.
When Liu Yan has become a dry bone in the grave, when Guo Jia's seizure of Yizhou has become a fact, and gradually let this situation be accepted by the people of the world, Guo Jia only needs to take his identity one step further and sit on an equal footing with the princes, so that he can erect the banner again after the Han dynasty is truly destroyed.
Now, all plans have been ruined by Wang Yun.
