Although Guo Jia is famous in history, Liu Jian is no longer the person he was back then, he will not think that this person is a genius because he has a great reputation in history, and now Liu Jian has passed this stage of identifying talents because of fame.

History books are written by people, and people will exaggerate narratives, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still an era of excessive praise and excessive flaunting as the mainstream.

And some truly talented people may not be able to make a name for themselves because of the limitations of the times in which they live, and are eventually buried by the torrent of history.

Therefore, it is still necessary for Guo Jia's test.

Obviously, Guo Jia can see through the good intentions of his arrangements along the way, which means that he has passed the first test here.

Guo Jia raised his neck and drank the decanting soup.

He stood up and saluted Liu Jian: "Guo has heard the name of the prince for a long time, like thunder, especially the name of the general's benevolence and righteousness, which is rare in the world. ”

"It's a blessing to meet the general this time."

"The people under the general are not waiting for me near Luyang, but deliberately waiting near Yangzhai in Yingchuan, this is a benevolent and righteous act."

"Because Guo has just been cut off from Yuan Shao, if the general's people recruit nearby, if Yuan Shao knows, I am afraid that my life will be endangered, as a general, can you think of me like this, isn't it benevolence and righteousness?"

Liu Jian didn't speak, but continued to listen seriously.

Guo Jia continued: "Not only that, but all the way to Luoyang, the general's men are also extremely careful, neither fast march, but also not delayed, all the style of action is as usual, such scouts can be ranked among the top in the world. ”

"However, if there is no good lord, a lord who can understand the situation and is good at employing people and managing the army, it is impossible to form such a scout team, which can really be described as a hegemon."

"In addition, the general invited Guo from Yangzhai all the way to Luoyang, but he didn't give me good food and wine on the way, and he didn't let Guo live in a good residence, and the road was relatively secret......

Liu Jian smiled: "Feng Xiao, is this picking on me?" ”

"Don't dare! In Guo's view, this is not because the general doesn't love talent, but because the general loves talent too much. ”

"Before Guo and the general met, the general was not sure whether Guo would stay here to assist the general."

"Once Guo's affairs with the general are publicized too much, if Guo can't stay with the general and return to Yangzhai, once the matter spreads, it will be detrimental to Guo's future future."

"The general is acting in such a low-key manner, which can be regarded as leaving a way back for Guo."

"A person with the style of a hegemon, but can be so broad-minded to consider a way out for others, such an act, isn't the general still a benevolent and righteous person?"

Liu Jian was quite pleased.

It seems that although Guo Jia is young, he can taste a person's skills and humanity in the small details of his daily life.

Liu Jian is very satisfied with this.

"The word benevolence and righteousness are somewhat vain, after all, you are a talent recommended to me by Wen Ruo, if you and I don't look at each other correctly, I can't delay you because you came to see me."

"Although you can't be used by me, after all, you are also my hero! The people I can't use should also be the great Han Reserve. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was in awe.

Regardless of whether Liu Jian's words are true or not, but he can say this in front of Guo Jia, which shows that he really wants to do this.

"Fengxiao is a place where Yingchuan people are outstanding and spiritual, and he must be a good ruler of the scriptures, but I don't know if Fengxiao can follow the famous teacher to govern the classics?"

Guo Jia straightened up and said, "Although he is a famous teacher, he has not studied yet, but he is only good at reading and studying several families." ”

Liu Jian nodded: "I don't know what books Feng Xiao likes to read on weekdays?" ”

Guo Jia responded respectfully, cleared his throat, and said like a river, like a few treasures.

"Since Jia's enlightenment at the age of six, he has first taken the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects".

"The elders urged Jia to study the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites."

"At the age of fourteen, I had a serious illness and my body was weak, so I took a break from the Six Arts Bow and Horse Swordsmanship, and studied the "Fourteen Chapters" and "National Policy" for a long time."

"Later, he spent a lot of money to obtain the works of "Three Strategies", "Six Taos" and "Sun Tzu".

In the first three years of the crown, he had studied ancient books such as "Wu Zi", "Sima Fa" and "Wei Xuanzi", but unfortunately the books obtained by the relatives were incomplete and omitted...... And Jia is frivolous and frivolous, and he often doesn't seek to understand when he reads, but only knows a little about what it means, ashamed! Ashamed! ”

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Listening to the meaning of filial piety, it seems that he is good at military strategic planning, and he is not a Confucian?" Can you plot with me? ”

Guo Jiayan said: "Although Jia is long in Yingchuan, he is young and shallow, and he does not dare to praise the plan, but the general has words, although Jia is not talented, he dares to brush off the general's interest and evil!" ”

I heard Liu Jian regret and said: "Since the first emperor ruled the Yellow Turban, the Han family has a weakened appearance, the world is turbulent, the chaos is endless, the Yellow Turbans all over the country shouted 'Heaven Supplement Equal', swarming and rebelling, Dong Zhuo as the commander of Liangzhou to control the government, like the Yuan brothers, but also connected to the incident, dominate one side, do not respect the king's order, although I have the ambition to calm the world, revive the Han Dynasty, and return the people to prosperity, how can it be difficult to support one-armed, so far there is no success, at this time, what should be done? ”

The appropriate talent Guo Jia reported the books he was good at reading to Liu Jian, all of whom were good at military planning, so Liu Jian inquired about the military strategy.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth were slightly raised, and he spoke loudly: "I have a law that can make the world stable within five years, I don't know if the prince is willing to obey?" ”

Liu Jian said: "Please speak." ”

Guo Jia said slowly: "Today's chaos, rectify its roots, because the first emperor is not clear, when the first emperor was there, he set up a party system, sold officials, employed people who were not virtuous, and trusted eunuchs, so that the virtuous can escape from the rivers and lakes, and the small ones compete to get close, so that the Han family is in decline, and the loyal ministers are not allowed to use it, how can the world not be chaotic?" ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia peeked at Liu Jian's face.

Although there are only two people present today, Guo Jia and Liu Jian, but Guo Jia has long heard that the first emperor Liu Hong is Liu Jian's benefactor, and it was the first emperor Liu Hong who single-handedly carried Liu Jian into the clan, and at the same time appointed him as the state pastor.

And folk rumors say that Liu Jian's two best friends in Luoyang, one is Yuan Ji, and the other is the former emperor Liu Hong.

Guo Jia today and in front of Liu Jian, he stated a few words about the disadvantages of the former emperor Liu Hong, and saw how Liu Jian reacted.

If he was furious on the spot and expelled himself, it would mean that he was the same as Yuan Shao, but he was just a villain, and he might not be able to become a big deal.

When Guo Jia faced Yuan Shao, he also tested Yuan Shao by making Yuan Shao bend his knees to Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian.

Today, he's doing it again.

Liu Jian sighed lightly: "The first emperor was in power, there were gains and losses, and it cannot be generalized...... Go on. ”

Liu Jian's performance made Guo Jia quite surprised.

Didn't he just say Liu Hong's words, and he just took it lightly?

It shouldn't be! Shouldn't he be a one-man supporter of the first emperor who carried himself in one hand, as a member of the Han family?

Could it be that this person is really broad-minded and cares about personal affairs?

Guo Jia's eyes twitched slightly, but then immediately adjusted back to his state.

"If the general wants to calm the world and pacify the situation, the first thing to do is to join Yuan to resist Dong!"

"Lian Yuan anti-Dong? Why? ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "The general is the emperor's uncle, leading the emperor's will, can be described as the head of the clan, Yuan Shao sits on the leading Ruying sages, has the prestige of the Zhong family to lead the sages, the world's well-dressed giant room is admired, if the world is pacified, the Han clan and the well-dressed giant room, it is necessary to work together to make the world peaceful and the people live in peace." ”

"Since the rise of Guangwu for several years, the way of the world's operation depends on this principle, in order to operate so far, but the first emperor for his own selfishness, the party and the sages, broke this balance, causing the world to riot, and now Dong Zhuo, the tiger wolf of the West Liang, but crowded into the court, disturbing the world, upside down, according to Jia's view, half of the world's disasters are in this person. In particular, the New Deal advocated by this person is really the foundation of the chaotic world! The general should work with Yuan Shao to exterminate Dong Zhuo, support the Son of Heaven, and abolish the new policy, so that the world can be stabilized. ”

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Abolish the New Deal?" ”

"If the New Deal is abolished, then what kind of policy, what kind of national law should this world be governed by?"

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Restore the old system, continue the virtuous government left by the ancestors and sages, and use it to govern the people, then the people can be safe, and the chaos can be calmed." ”

Liu Jian heard this: "It turns out that what Mr. has always advocated in his heart is to use the old system of my Han Dynasty, right?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "What's wrong with the old policy? In the past, the Han Dynasty was peaceful, the people lived in peace, the people's livelihood was rich, and the four seas were peaceful, wasn't it all because of the old politics? ”

Liu Jian listened to Guo Jia's remarks and didn't speak for a long time.

And Guo Jia didn't say anything, he just finished speaking, half-squinted his eyes, and waited for Liu Jian's fate to him.

In fact, Liu Jian is the person who works hardest in the implementation of the new policy in the Han Dynasty, which Guo Jia knows very well.

But he is going to use these words to test Liu Jian today.

Find out if he is truly righteous or a false sage.
