Before he could say hello to Diao Chan, Xun Yu hurried to Guo Jia and whispered: "The army captain, Lord Jian Shuojian, who is in charge of the imperial guards, entered the mansion through the back door, and is now waiting in the study to worship the filial piety."
Jian Shuo?
I can't tell you what this person's purpose is, but Guo Jia knows that he will not receive any reward without merit. With the vain, Diao Chan, who is so embarrassed that she can't fall from the sky and fall into her arms.
Following Xun Yu to the study room in the mansion, the servant had already been ordered not to approach the study room within twenty steps. After leading Guo Jia to the study room, Xun Yu left.
Jian Shuo is tall and mighty, and looks like a powerful general of Kong Wu. This man is in charge of the imperial guards and serves as the military captain among the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan. It is also reasonable.
After seeing Guo Jia, Jian Shuo only lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Guo, today's secret meeting in the study is because my little master wants to meet the young master."
Jian Shuo moved away, and a person appeared behind him. A seven-year-old child was very energetic, with brocade robe and sleeves, and nobleness arises naturally.
"Haha, pay homage to Your Highness Prince Xie." Guo Jia saluted without a look of respect or fear.
This made Prince Xie both admire and annoyed: This person is as intelligent as the sea. When he first met, he revealed his identity as a golf, but he did not see a look of awe. It can be seen that he did not take Orphan seriously.
The prince cooperated to pardon Guo Jia, but did not read it out, and handed it directly to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia took it and didn't look at it. He put it on the low table in the study, and then looked at the prince Xie with a smile that made people look like spring breeze.
The prince looked up to Guo Jia for a long time, then suddenly turned around and whispered: "Guo Jia, are you willing to arrange for you to become an official?"
"I don't want to."
Guo Jia refused at once. When he saw Prince Xie for the first time, he knew what the other party had. Although it was admirable that the young prince had such abilities and means, the Han Dynasty was about to overthrow and at this moment he was still thinking that if he helped Han Zhongxing, Guo Jia could create a good coffin for himself in advance.
Prince Xie turned his back to Guo Jia, holding his white little hands tightly, as if trying to suppress his anger, but he still said calmly: "So, after the house is opened, are you willing to be an orphan staff?"
Although he would definitely not agree or do this, in terms of face, Guo Jia still wanted to give it to the other party. The prince was rejected again and again, and the clay Buddha was very angry, not to mention that he was forgiven and gave him beauty.
"If that day comes, Jia is willing to serve His Highness."
"good!"
After all, the prince's association is a childish and has poor thoughts. He believes that Guo Jia does not want to enter the court as an official, but only wants to give advice for him. After he ascended the 195th position in the future, Guo Jia will naturally be at the highest level, but he never noticed the premise in Guo Jia's words: if that day comes.
Will that day come? A year later, Emperor Ling of Han was celebrating the sky, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the princes directly ascended the throne, but he was a puppet.
Walking quickly to Guo Jia, the prince showed joy on his face, held Guo Jia's hand and said, "Why do you fear the world if you are filial piety and help the orphans!"
This has praised Guo Jia very well, but if you want to say a few high-sounding and praiseworthy words to convince people, it would be really whimsical.
Prince Xie suddenly looked up at Guo Jia with a solemn expression and said, "I will not hide it from Fengxiao. My father has been ill for a long time and has not yet appointed a prince. It is because my father wants to depose the eldest son and establish the young man. However, there are many obstacles. Fengxiao. What tricks do you have to help the orphan clear the obstacles?"
It was not a secret that Emperor Ling of Han wanted to abolish the eldest son and establish the young. The civil and military officials in the court had already heard of it, but Emperor Ling of Han did not mention it, and the ministers could not go out to give advice. They were just occasionally urging Emperor Ling of Han to establish a crown prince early to avoid disaster.
Therefore, the princesses so blatantly said that Emperor Ling of Han wanted to make him the crown prince, and did not avoid it.
Guo Jia pulled his hand out of the prince's assistant and said lightly: "Your Highness, listen to Jia's words. Whoever ascends to the throne first or dies first."
Prince Xie was shocked, and Jian Shuo, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his eyes sharply towards Guo Jia.
"This, I hope to hear it carefully." Prince Xie quickly calmed down after panic.
Guo Jia turned around and shook his head with a smile and said, "The fisherman will benefit from fighting with a snipe and a clam. If two tigers fight, they will be injured. Your Highness is worse than to watch the changes. Jia Ke asserts that Your Highness can sit on the throne."
Prince Xie secretly glanced at Jian Shuo and thought to himself: Two tigers? Ten eunuchs and the general!
If the general ascends the throne first, it will inevitably strike a strife, and it is not impossible for him to force the palace by force.
If the emperor's brother ascends the throne first, Lord Jian and other eunuchs will not sit still and wait for death. They will inevitably fight to the death. No matter who ascends the throne first, it will trigger a desperate counterattack on the other side, which will be difficult to predict the outcome and life and death.
However, those who ascend the throne first must be feeling like they are on pins and needles. This is not wrong. Not only are they constrained by all parties, but they are also at risk of their lives.
Guo Jia is a genius, but he has no reputation!
Prince Xie sighed calmly: "Fengxiao's words revealed the danger in the future. In just a few words, I made me feel as if I had cleared the clouds and saw the sun. I saw the current situation clearly. Fengxiao, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Guo Jia turned to look down at Prince Xie and said lightly: "Prespect filial piety and sit and observe success or failure."
The prince Xie looked shocked and was enlightened, and bowed deeply to Guo Jia.
Although the establishment of a crown prince is a state affairs, it also shows that the emperors today will return to heaven. When the new king reaches the top, it means that the late emperor is celebrating the heaven. Whether it is the previous crown prince or the emperor after ascending the throne, they should be filial to the late emperor, rather than being ecstatic. To do this, whether it is superficial or true feelings, they can accumulate fame.
It is better to understand when watching success or failure. The prince ascended the throne, and the eunuch party counterattacked and won, and the general and the relatives of the foreign party were defeated and lost power, and the prince could seize the throne. If he was defeated, the eunuch party would die and have no place to bury him. The prince would protect himself and let the two tigers fight each other, and then watch for success or failure, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
There is a saying that goes: Sometimes you must have it in your destiny, but don’t force it in your destiny.
The throne is the destiny of heaven, and doing it against the trend is the way to perish.
"I thanked Feng Xiao for giving some advice. Today, I will return to the palace for now. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come to ask Feng Xiao for advice again."
Prince Xie and Jian Shuo came and left with caution.
But Guo Jia hopes that he will never come again. He doesn't want to have any relationship with the prince. If a king who has lost his country can do anything to see him, try not to see him.
On the way back to the palace, Jian Shuo whispered with the prince. Jian Shuo suggested: "Guo Jia had a close relationship with the Xun clan in Yingchuan, and now Xun clan is lonely and weak in the court. If Your Highness promotes Xun clan, you can make Xun clan loyal, and you can also suggest from the side that Your Highness Guo Jia is valued."
Prince Xie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded and praised him, but frowned and said, "But didn't Xun You, a son of the Xun family, play in the General's shogunate?"
Jian Shuo said, "There are many children of aristocratic families, and each of them is helpless. This is the way to survive for the family. Guo Jia's good friend Xun Yu once had a famous scholar He praised the talent of his king and assistant, but now Xun Yu has not yet praised the filial and honest person."
The prince made a decision and said, "Then Gu arrange for Xun Yu to become an official, and let him serve as the magistrate. It is also convenient for Gu to see how talented he is. If he deserves his name, Gu will entrust him with important responsibilities."
...
After seeing off Prince Xie and Jian Shuo, Guo Jia sat in the study and looked at the pardon order. Xun Yu stepped into the study and showed a hesitation look on his face.
When Guo Jia saw him, he asked with a smile: "Wen Ruo isn't he worried that I will help the prince fight for the throne? I am worried that the disaster will cause Xiao Yun?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and nodded and sighed: "Just as Fengxiao said, I am afraid that Fengxiao will participate in the battle for the throne. The emperor is ill and the prince has not been established. This is an ominous sign. Fengxiao, how did you reply?"
Guo Jia dropped the pardon order in his hand, shrugged and said innocently: "Why did Wenruo insist that Prince Association was here to recruit me? Maybe he is a child, just want to see what Guo Jia is like, who is ruthless and ruthless when he kills people outside."
Xun Yu sighed, "I have been in Luoyang for several years and have been fortunate to meet two princes. The prince adversary is old but willful and arrogant, and is harsh and brave. Prince Xie is young but extraordinary, calm and steadfast. I think the young master next to Jian Shuo came to the door must be Prince Xie, and he came in condescendingly, so he must have something to do. He asked for the name of Fengxiao, so I knew that Prince Xie wanted to recruit aides and planned to fight for the throne."
If the talent of Wang Zuo, Xun Wenruo, could not even see this trick, then he would be called Wang Zuozhi. Guo Jia walked to Xun Yu with a smile, grinned and said, "Wenruo, then how do you guess I reply to Prince Association?"
Seeing that he was still in a joking moment, Xun Yu pointed at Guo Jia with a laugh and scolded: "Guo Fengxiao, can you be more serious? The prince will fight for the throne, and the disaster will cause Xiao Wall, and the way of chaos, why are you so unrestrained?"
Guo Jia grabbed Xun Yu's beard that had been growing long recently and chuckled, "I only gave the prince Xie eight words: I will do my best to see if I am filial and watch for success or failure. Whether I can sit on the throne depends on God's will. The two princes robbed the throne, and I am not interested in joining together, but the prince Xie is very proud of the gift to win me over. Do you think he will also rob Wen Ruo to serve him?"
Xun Yu's face was stunned, looking at Guo Jia, who rubbed his chin with his hands and seemed to want to rub some beard, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Guo Jia was also stunned and asked incredibly: "Do you think Wang Zuozhi is something that anyone can call me? If what I expected is not bad, within a few days, the Prince Association will help you become an official, and will be transferred to a place close to him. In the next few days, test you a few times. If he is satisfied, he will be used for you. However, no matter how much he is used, he is a prince without power, no matter how much he is used, it may be limited."
After this inference and analysis, Xun Yu showed a solemn look, and he also figured out the key point, which is called "Love House and Wu". The princes' association wanted to win over Guo Jia, and even won over the people around Guo Jia. In the end, Guo Jia naturally returned to his heart.
