Chapter 428: Merit is complete
After spending a few happy and relaxing days with his parents, his master and uncle, his grandfather Yi, his three wives and Xiao Yuanshi, Yuan Qi returned his mind to the expansion of armaments. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
After preliminary work, Xun Luo and other core ministers have already distributed part of the conscription funds to the localities through the military government and the government office, and the next step is to raise follow-up conscription funds at the same time as the first phase of conscription. The work of Xun Luo and others can be carried out so smoothly, and it is inseparable from the money and food help provided by Yuanba, and Yuanba's ability to control the economy has once again been highlighted.
While preparing for the expansion of the army, Yuan Qi asked Zhuge Liang, who had returned to Jizhou, to do a good job in the defense of the Central Plains, and sent a large number of Qianlong members into the Central Plains, scattered throughout the Central Plains again, spying on the movements of the Ugong Zhaolie army. Because last time, in order to buy time for the army and delay the pace of Ugong Zhaolie's march into Jizhou, the thousands of hidden dragon members scattered in the Central Plains had all been exposed, so Yuan Qi could only let Li Ru once again select a group of hidden dragon members and lurk in Ugong Zhaolie's territory for the second time.
When Yuan Qi ordered the mobilization of the members of the Hidden Dragon, Li Ru mentioned something that surprised Yuan Qi. I don't know if you still remember, when the members of the Qianlong assassinated the fifteen capable ministers under Ugong Zhaolie in Xuchang one after another, it happened that Guo Jia, the first think tank under Ugong Zhaolie, was seriously ill and was about to die young, and the members of the Qianlong who were assigned by Li Ru to assassinate Guo Jia did not kill Guo Jia at that time, but took the seriously ill Guo Jia out of Xuchang City and handed it over to Li Ru and Tian Feng to deal withγ
Of course, if Guo Jia didn't survive the joint healing of the two miracle doctors, it would be his life, but the reality is. Guo Jia's illness was cured by two miracle doctors, but Guo Jia was unwilling to switch to Yuan Qi's command, Li Ru didn't know how many times he persuaded Guo Jia, but Guo Jia never changed his original intention, but only promised not to return to Ugong Zhaolie's camp to repay Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing for saving their lives, but he refused to join the camp even if he was alive or dead. After all attempts of persuasion have never yielded results. Li Ru had no choice but to report the matter to Yuan Qi, who decided to dispose of Guo Jia.
When Yuan Qi heard the whole story and learned that the ghost talent Guo Jia was in Yanjing, the desire to meet this ghost talent immediately rose in his heart. Even if he can't recover this genius, at least he won't leave regrets in Yuan Qi's heart. What's more, Yuan Qi believes. With Guo Jia's intelligence, he must have seen the general trend of the world clearly, and it is not difficult to convince him, but the difficult thing is how to make him overcome the psychological obstacles and stand on the opposite side of the old lord Unomiya Terulie.
Under the leadership of Li Ru, Yuan got up and went to the room where Guo Jia temporarily lived. After signaling Li Ru to leave temporarily with his eyes, Yuan Qi stretched out his right hand and gently knocked on the door twice.
In the room, Guo Jia's angry voice showed that his old illness no longer existed: "I said Wen Wei, you still don't let people live? Three days and two heads came to harass me, didn't I already promise not to return to Yugong Gong's camp? What else do you want to ......" When Guo Jia opened the door, he saw that it was not Li Ru standing outside the door, but Yuan Qi. There was a hint of complicated emotions on his face, and he looked at Yuan Qi for ten breaths in a daze, and then said: "It turns out that the regent is here in person, if the regent is here to persuade Jia to serve, please don't open your mouth." β
Yuan Qi chuckled lightly and retorted loudly: "Feng Xiao guessed right, Lone is here to persuade you to work." If Feng Xiao insists on rejecting people thousands of miles away. I'm afraid that your loss will be greater than Lone's loss, so Lone's persuasion is still after listening to Lone's words. How about making a decision again?" "Oh? But I don't know what the regent Shicai said, where is Jia's loss?" Guo Jia was aroused by Yuan Qi's unreasonable routine, and couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Qi smiled, pointed to the room behind Guo Jia, and said, "Isn't Fengxiao going to invite this lobbyist Gu to come in and sit?" Hearing this, Guo Jia turned his body sideways, made way for a road to the room, pouted and said: "If you want to enter, you can enter, anyway, you are the master, I am just a captive." β
Stepping into the room, Yuan Qi sat down steadily on a chair, picked up the teapot from the table unhurriedly, poured tea into a teacup slowly, and then put down the teapot, and then said to Guo Jia: "I have heard for a long time that Fengxiao is a genius in the sky, known as a ghost talent, I want to ask Fengxiao, maybe you can see something from the tea in front of you?"
Guo Jia snorted disdainfully, and said in a deep voice: "Does the regent want to remind me by pouring tea at the right time that the grace of a drop of water must be repaid by a spring? β
Yuan Qi shook his head and smiled: "Lone didn't mean this, it was Feng Xiao's misunderstanding." Even if Lone wants to take back your life, I'm afraid you may not be willing to give it to Lone, this great river and mountain, thousands of red dust, is it really you can give up if you can give it up? If you can, then you are not the prodigal son Guo Fengxiao. Feng Xiao is a merry and talented man, and he must have a deep understanding of the tea ceremony. The gentleman drinks tea, which is called the product, and the scholar drinks tea, which is called the drink, but if the reckless man drinks tea, it is only used to quench his thirst, and he does not have the slightest artistic conception of tasting tea. Tea tasting is like this, and so is the general trend of the world. Today, all the vassal kings and princes have disappeared, and only Unomiya Terulie and Lone stand side by side in the world. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and sooner or later there will be a battle between Lone and Unomiya Terulie to decide who will rule the world. This is the same as the tea ceremony, those princes who were wiped out as soon as they showed their heads were like reckless men, and they didn't know the taste of this fragrant tea in the world at all; Ugong Zhaolie was slightly better than them, and in the troubled times, he has survived until now, and he can be regarded as a scholar and the like corresponding to the tea ceremony; and the only one who is most likely to taste the world is Lone! This is the taste of Lone from the tea, I don't know if Feng Xiao agrees?"
Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "You mean to say that Duke Yugong is like a scholar and talented, but in the end, he couldn't win the world because he is not a gentleman." And you, you rule the country with the heart of a gentleman. Winning the support and love of the people of the world, is that the person who is most likely to be with the world?"
Yuan Qi nodded unceremoniously and spit out two words from his mouth: "Ranye!"
The initial disdain on Guo Jia's face gradually disappeared into invisibility, and he sighed with some emotion: "That's right, in this regard, you are indeed better than Yugong Gong." So. I have no doubt that you have a better chance of winning in the battle between you and Unomiya. However, what does this have to do with me? I have already promised Wen Wei that I will not return to the camp of Ugong Gong, I just want to be an idle cloud wild crane now. It's just a matter of living this life without restraints. β
"You're wrong. Isn't it a pity that I am born to be useful, and I have learned from filial piety and do not think about the welfare of the people? Isn't that what you want to change? It's not just you. Everyone who has suffered wants to be able to change their embarrassing situation. Since we have abilities that ordinary people do not have, we must let our abilities shine and make more people who are suffering from hunger and cold get out of the predicament, this is the ultimate goal of our practice of literature and martial arts, do you say?" Yuan Qi slowly guided Guo Jia in an orderly manner.
Under the guidance of Yuan Qi, Guo Jia fell silent. lowered his head and didn't say a word, thinking about Yuan Qi's words repeatedly in his heart. Yuan Qi didn't urge Guo Jia either, giving him plenty of time to think.
After a long silence, Guo Jia finally broke the silence. He pointed to the position of his left chest and said to Yuan Qi: "What you said is right, I have lived in Yanjing during this time, and I also know some about the people here. Truth be told, you are a master. It's a pity that my heart is not as wide as yours, mine here. has already left the shadow of Unomiya Gong, and it is difficult to imprint other people's imprints. β
Yuan Qi stood up, stretched out his hand and patted Guo Jia's right chest gently, and said slowly: "Some people's hearts grow on the right side, Zhang Wu is the same, and so is Ugong Zhaolie. Therefore, nothing in the world is static, it can be changed, it just depends on whether you have the courage to make changes. What's more, your heart should not belong to anyone other than you, but to those who need your help and need you to lead them out of their predicament. β
There was another moment of silent thought. Guo Jia finally hung his arm helplessly, looked directly at Yuan Qi, and said word by word: "You won." I was really reluctant to die, especially after an infinite approach to death. But I have one condition, if you can agree, I will give you my full heart. Together with you, we will bring out the hardships of those who want to get out of the situation and need us to help them get out of it. In fact, under the repeated persuasion of Li Ru and Guo Jia's two life-saving benefactors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the ice in Guo Jia's heart has already melted, and what he lacks now is just a step for Yuan Qi to give him.
Yuan Qi showed a comfortable smile and said with a chuckle: "Fengxiao doesn't need to say it anymore. Your mind, I understand. I will never force you and Unomiya to be direct enemies. β
Seeing that Yuan Qi had broken through what he was thinking, Guo Jia smiled with relief, took two steps back, and saluted Yuan Qi: "Minister Guo Jia, see King Yan." β
Halfway to become a monk, does not mean that there is nothing to do, Guo Jia can be said to be the latest to serve the core members of the Yuan Qi, he will be the first in resisting foreign enemies in the future, go deep into the tiger's den, and make great contributions to the Yuan Empire, although there are ups and downs, the sword goes sideways, but it has also achieved a meritorious career, therefore, the people of later generations put Guo Jia in the same position as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, and they are collectively called "Ten All-rounders". With Guo Jia's official commissioning, the Ten Parties have completed their reunion and shed another beautiful talk in the future.
