After Jia Xu and his family were reunited, he followed Liu Xiu south back to Xiangyang to settle down.

The place where he lives is next to the governor's house. In Jia Xu's current situation, his family can't have much freedom, so they can only walk around Xiangyang City.

However, Jia Xu can also see it.

Without Liu Xiu's summons, he stayed in the mansion to read and write, and he was still used to it.

On this day, Liu Xiu invited him to go.

Jia Xu left the residence and went to Liu Xiu's state governor's mansion. When he arrived at the house, under the leadership of the 'attendant', he came to the study, and after saluting, Jia Xu sat down in the study.

Jia Xu said: "The lord invited the old man to come, is there anything wrong?"

Liu Xiu said: "There are two things. ”

Jia Xu said: "Please make it public!"

Liu Xiu said slowly: "The first thing is that after Cao 'Cao' learned that your family had disappeared, he finally announced the news that you colluded with me and betrayed him. In the words, the reason why Cao Ren was defeated was because you were moved by Huo Jun and passed the news from it, which led to the defeat of Cao Ren's 3,000 soldiers. ”

"Boom!"

Jia Xu's mind went blank in an instant.

Cao 'Cao' announced such news, which he didn't expect, this is simply a non-existent thing.

Jia Xu didn't believe that Cao 'Cao' wouldn't be able to see the cattiness in it, but Cao 'Cao' really chose to condemn him as a betrayal, so Cao 'Cao' must be to protect Cao Ren.

It took a long time for Jia Xu to come back to his senses.

Jia Xu's expression regained his composure, and he said: "Lord, since the old man is already loyal to you, these things are not for the old man to consider. Therefore, since Cao 'Cao' believes that the old man is colluding with the lord, it can be regarded as collusion. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

When Jia Xu said this, he was obviously resigned to his fate.

Since ancient times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king, if Cao 'Cao' protects Jia Xu, then although Jia Xu is obedient to Liu Xiu, he will definitely have thoughts about Cao's 'Cao'. However, Cao 'Cao's order directly identified Jia Xu as colluding with Liu Xiu, so the trace of kindness between Jia Xu's heart and Cao 'Cao' was completely broken.

Liu Xiu continued: "The second thing is the appointment of Mr. Wenhe's official position. When I was in Chaoyang County, I should have been appointed at that time, but I didn't think about it at the time. Now, Mr. Wenhe is reappointed. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he sat up straight, sat upright, and listened to Liu Xiu's words.

Liu Xiudao: "There is only one military advisor under my command, and that is Pang Tong. I appointed Mr. Wen He as the Right Army Division to advise me. ”

"Thank you, my lord. ”

Jia Xu's heart was also quite surprised.

The position of the right military division is naturally one level lower than that of the military division, but it is also a core position, and it can be exposed to the real core content. Liu Xiu directly appointed him as the right army division, which can be described as quite bold.

Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "Mr. Wenhe is still used to living in Xiangyang?"

"It's fine!"

Jia Xu nodded and replied.

Liu Xiudao: "That's good, Mr. Wenhe has just arrived in Xiangyang, you can take a look around, and you can also be more familiar with Jingzhou's government affairs." It's so boring to stay at home every day. ”

"Yes, humble. ”

Jia Xu nodded in response, said some more words to Liu Xiu, and got up to leave.

When they returned to the house, Jia Xu's sons Jia Mu, Jia Wan, and Jia Ji were all waiting in the hall.

Jia Mu asked, "Father, what is Liu Xiu looking for you to do?"

Jia Wan also said: "Could it be that Liu Xiu made things difficult for his father?"

Jia Ji also had a concerned look on his face, and he was quite nervous in his heart. Jia Xu's three sons have all grown up to be 'adult', and this time they all went south, which can be said to have been served by Liu Xiu.

Jia Xu said: "The lord invited me to go and said two things. ”

Jamu asked, "What about those two things?"

Jia Xu said: "The first thing is that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has announced the news, and it was the old man who colluded with the lord to cause Cao Ren's defeat. ”

Brush!

When Jia Mu, Jia Wan and Jia Ji heard this, their faces changed.

Jia Mu snorted angrily and said: "How can Prime Minister Cao Cheng be like this? The reason why my father came to Xiangyang was also forced to be helpless, it was all caused by Cao Ren's 'force' persecution, how could my father collude with Liu Xiu." ”

Jia Wan also said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is too unauthentic to do this. ”

Jia Ji asked, "Father, what about the second thing?"

Jia Xu replied: "The lord appointed me as the right army division, this is the second thing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three brothers of Jamu exclaimed that they were born again.

After the family went south and lived in Xiangyang, the three Jia Mu brothers had already discussed for a long time what position Jia Xu would hold under Liu Xiu's command next, and they all agreed that Jia Xu might not be able to approach Liu Xiu's central core for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu really delegated power and directly appointed the right army division.

Jia Mu snorted and said in a deep voice: "Father, since Cao '' Ren, then you can't blame your father for being unjust. Before, my father was obedient to Liu Xiu, but he was forced to be brought by us. Now, Cao 'Cao' is unkind to his father, and Liu Xiu can accept his father, so his father has no scruples about serving Liu Xiu. ”

"Later, Liu Xiu waved his division north and defeated Cao 'Cao'. Father must ask Cao '' in front of Cao '' and ask Cao '' in person, why he treats his father like this. ”

Jia Mu said: "As the so-called virtuous minister chooses the master, since Cao 'Cao' is not virtuous, then it is natural for his father to serve Liu Xiu." Moreover, although Liu Xiu only occupied Jingzhou, he was able to defeat Cao Cao's army and formed a group with the potential to go north. Father, don't hesitate any longer. ”

Jia Xu snorted and said, "Do you still need you to teach your father?"

Jia Wan said: "Father, I agree with the eldest brother's statement, my father is now the right army division, if Liu Xiu continues to expand his power." After my father, I will definitely be able to become a supreme minister. ”

Jia Ji said: "According to the current situation, Liu Xiu should be relieved of his father. Father, Liu Xiu can directly appoint you as the right army division, and he is also a person of courage. You can work for him, too. ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What, now you three rabbit cubs have come to persuade the old man to work for Liu Xiu?"

When the three of them heard this, they all looked at each other and smiled.

Jia Xu said: "The old man's consistent view is to be in his position and seek his own government. Since he is now working for Liu Xiu, he will naturally go all out. Don't worry, the old man knows what to do. ”

When the three brothers heard this, they all had smiles on their faces.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "The old man is now new to the master's command, and it is not easy to arrange the affairs of the three of you. When we get a foothold, I'll plan for you. ”

Jia Mu said: "The father doesn't have to bother, the son has already thought about it." Next year, when Liu Xiu opens a branch to take a scholar, his son will participate, and when the time comes, he will be able to enter the Jingzhou officialdom. So, I don't have to worry about my father. ”

Jia Wan said: "I think about the same as my eldest brother, and I want to give it a try. Under Liu Xiu's command, the talents who opened the department can be regarded as his henchmen. So, the son also took this path. ”

Jia Ji said: "My son should be like this. ”

The three sons have strong self-confidence in their eyes.

After Jia Xu saw the expressions of the three of them, a bright smile appeared on his face, he stroked the beard under his chin, and said with satisfaction: "The three of you can have such ambitions, the old man is very satisfied. Very good, the old man is looking forward to next year's opening of the department, and the old man's three sons can all be shortlisted. ”

Jia Mu chuckled: "The father underestimates his son too much, not to be shortlisted, but to be at the top of the high school list." ”

Jia Wan and Jia Ji are also high-spirited.

Jia Xu said: "The three of you have good ambitions, okay, the old man will take a look to see if the three of you can top the high school rankings." I, Jia's 'door', can I be famous in Jingzhou? ”

"Definitely!"

A hint of determination flashed in Jamu's eyes.

Jia Wan and Jia Ji are also full of confidence.

Jia Xu looked at the state of his son under his knees, and his heart was also full of relief. Going south from the north, although Jia Xu has been reused by Liu Xiu, the three sons under his knees have not yet been settled. Seeing that his three sons are in very good condition, he can be completely relieved.

At this time, Jia Xu can be regarded as a real return to his heart, a real return to Liu Xiu.
