Perhaps many children from aristocratic families who participated in the Cai Mansion Poetry Festival returned in disappointment, but Guo Jia was particularly happy.
Guo Jia, who was sitting in the carriage with Xun Yu, smiled. Xun Yu smiled bitterly when he saw it, "Fengxiao, if I had known this, I would have rejected the invitation from Cai's Mansion."
But Guo Jia didn't think so, but said, "Why don't you come? How lively the poetry will be today? I, Guo Jia, have also opened my eyes and gained insight. It's great."
Pointing at Guo Jia, shook his head, Xun Yu sighed, "I can understand that Cai's family has personal grudges with you, but why did you confront Yuan Shao in public? It is not a wise man who has lost his face."
Regarding the future northern hero, Guo Jia said, "Is the three masters of the Yuan family great? Yuan Benchu's golden and jade is not worth mentioning."
Although Xun Yu also thought that Yuan Shaowei's famous saying was too much, he still said seriously: "I will not hide it from the filial piety. The elders in the family reminded me many times that I should get together with Yuan Benchu. The implication is that if one day Yuan Benchu ​​set up his own family, the children of the Xun family could do their best to serve. In recent years, Yuan Benchu ​​did run around in order to revive the aristocrats in the court. He not only reversed the case several times, but also took back many old ministers and officials who took refuge in seclusion."
The elders of the Xun family? The only elders of the Xun family who are worthy in Luoyang is Xun Shuang.
Guo Jia had no choice but to do anything about this. He was different from Xun Yu and was not good at making suggestions for others. He had to say truthfully: "It is understandable that the Xun family has such a plan. The Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples are all over the world. Now they have gathered the hearts of the gentry to lift the party shackles. Therefore, the gentry supported the Yuan family and vaguely recommended the Yuan family to become the leader of the gentry. Therefore, the Xun family Ciming asked you to get along with Yuan Shao. In this generation of the Yuan family, except Yuan Shao, it was Yuan Shu. Speaking of which, the two of them were both flying eagles and traitors when they were young, and they were troubled. Later, they gradually restrained and began to embark on the right path and work for the family."
Knowing that Guo Jia was unwilling to talk about the affairs of the gentry, Xun Yu also felt that the tricks were difficult to explain for a while, so he changed the subject. He frowned slightly and said, "Recently, Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, came to Luoyang to submit a letter to the emperor, and made various activities, intending to transfer to Yizhou as the governor of the state. What are the advantages of filial piety in this matter?"
Guo Jia grinned and pretended to be flattered and said in surprise: "Wen Ruo knew it very well, why did he still ask me?"
"Fengxiao, don't smile. Tell me quickly. Although I have some ideas, I am afraid of being careless, so I want to listen to Fengxiao's high theory."
After not seeing each other for several years, Guo Jia has not been in good shape as usual, and Xun Yu doesn't know how to say about him.
Guo Jia slapped his face with both hands, put away his laughing expression, and said seriously: "As for Youzhou, there are concerns about foreign races invading the south in the north, which is an external trouble. Gongsun Zan, the prefect of western Liaoning, was rebellious and difficult to control, and Liu Yan was difficult to control, so he had an internal enemy. Moreover, Youzhou was bitter and cold, and the country of Tianfu in Yizhou was fertile, and there were high mountains and steep mountains to resist the Central Plains. However, the barbarians in the south occasionally had riots, which was not worth mentioning. If I were Liu Yan, I would also submit that the emperor would be transferred to Yizhou to enjoy the blessing, hehe."
After hearing this, Xun Yu felt something thoughtful. At first glance, it was reasonable, but he felt that Guo Jia had something in his words.
The mountains and steep mountains can resist the Central Plains!
That's what Xun Yu suddenly stared at Guo Jia and cursed: "Fengxiao! Are you testing me? If you don't think about it carefully, you will be deceived. I also guessed that Liu Yan tried every means to transfer to Yizhou. According to Fengxiao, does Liu Yan have other plans?"
Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly: "Youzhou is indeed uncomfortable. It is understandable that he wants to go to Yizhou. In addition, the Yizhou Muslim Prosecutor is a lie to give him a responsibilities. Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou is already a fact. However, after Liu Yan entered Yizhou, if he secretly sent people to cause trouble in Hanzhong and cut off the passage between the imperial capital, Yizhou would be like a country in the country. Liu Yan, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the largest Yizhou in the world will become his back garden."
Xun Yu was frightened when he heard this, but he thought of something and blurted out: "Liu Yan's traitor is a minister and has been planning a magic weapon for a long time!"
Guo Jia then regained a little smile. Seeing that Xun Yu finally understood, he patted him on the back and let him breathe, don't be too angry and hurt his body.
Xun Yu, who had sorted out his anger, pointed at Guo Jia and cursed: "Fengxiao, you probably knew that Liu Yan was ill-behaved, so why didn't you say it earlier? When Liu Yan submitted a letter to the emperor to change the governor to the prefect, you must have expected today's situation, so why didn't he warn him?"
Guo Jia rolled his eyes innocently and said, "Who would I tell you? So what do you know? Do you think that Liu Yan's intention to submit to the court back then, and none of the officials in the court can tell him? Why don't they say it? First, it's useless to show the pros and cons to the emperor, and the emperor does not listen to loyal words and only recognizes money. Second, the foundation of the gentry in the court is all in the local area. Do they have no selfish intentions? It's useless to swear to me. We are slight, and the general trend is the trend. We go against the trend and just ask for trouble. It's better to save some time and live a long life."
Xun Yu was also angry just now. After calming down a little, he also understood that everything Guo Jia said was true.
When Liu Yan submitted a letter to the emperor, the governor was changed to the governor. What is the governor? In the final analysis, it is not as good as the prefect of a county of 2,000 stones. But it is different if the governor is changed to the governor. He holds military and political power, and takes over the land of a state. After a long time, he will lay the foundation and raises his own troops. That is the local emperor who controls the country.
It’s ridiculous that all the officials in the court are still fighting for power and profit. So what if they take power when their plan comes to an end? The local government has no choice but to obey the orders, and the centralization of power has long lost its service. So what if it is the emperor? Can it be used to mobilize the local state patriarch?
As for Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou to occupy land and become king, he was also an ambitious pioneer in troubled times. If he hadn't died early and his son was not good, let alone Sun Quan's future intention of trying to attack Yizhou, Liu Bei, who recognized Liu Yan as his uncle, wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Unfortunately, destiny is his own destiny. Liu Yan created the foundation of Yizhou, and he could only wait for his defeat when he passed it to his son.
Xun Yu, whose expression was changing, suddenly closed his eyes and sighed: "Fengxiao, today I want to hear your heartfelt words. As you see, how far is there in the troubled times?"
This time, he really put away his joking expression. Guo Jia looked solemn and closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is celebrating the sun, and the princes compete for hegemony."
The heart seemed to be hit hard, and Xun Yu was shocked, as if he had seen that the governors of various places did not obey the orders. The foreign relatives and eunuchs in the imperial city fought with each other, and blood flowed into a river. Outside the imperial city, there were thousands of miles of war, and the ambitions of wolves competed for the Central Plains.
I realized in my heart that at this moment, Xun Yu finally understood why the elders in his family asked him to assist Yuan Shao, because many elders were wise and foolish, and had already foresaw the future situation. Then, when the troubled times came, heroes needed to stand up, scatter the world, clear the world, end the troubled times, support the country and collapse, and save the Han Dynasty from being tired.
Is Yuan Shao a hero who can end troubled times?
But Xun Yu was unsure of his heart. If that day really came, would he really want to follow Yuan Shao?
He raised his head in confusion and looked at the friend in front of him who had admired him since his first meeting, and asked: "Fengxiao, since you have seen that the world is about to be in chaos, what will you do then?"
Guo Jia blinked, pondered for a moment as if he was thinking, and smiled relaxedly: "Look for a master, do your best to assist."
Seeing Guo Jia's relaxed attitude, Xun Yu became suspicious and asked: "Is there anyone who has chosen Fengxiaoxin?"
Guo Jia did not hide it, nodded and said, "Wen Ruo has lived in Luoyang for a long time, has he ever heard of Cao Mengde's name?"
Cao Cao?
Xun Yu quickly recalled the little things he knew about this person in his mind, and said hesitantly: "After this person was born into a eunuch, he became friends with Yuan Benchu ​​when he was young. Yuan Shao's absurd things all have this person in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This person has made many military achievements and was appreciated by General He Jin. Now he serves as the commander of the Xiyuan Military Classic Military Academy. Although this person has made some righteous acts that are applauding, his reputation is still inferior to Yuan Shao. Why does Fengxiao look at him differently?"
Guo Jia is not easy to answer this question. Before the Kwantung Army attacked Dong, Cao Cao was indeed unknown, and he was only famous all over the world when he first advocated the righteous army. Now, people who are more famous than Cao Cao are like crucian carp crossing the river.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I want to praise this person's talent and strategy. If you definitely don't believe it, I have no evidence. However, the ability to fight the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be awesome, which shows that his military strategy is still superior. As for whether this person can quell the chaotic times, you can only wait and see if he will know in the future. Moreover, when the world is in chaos, heroes will emerge together, and countless people with great talent in civil and military affairs will be numerous. Who can finally help the world upright? Haha, it's hard to say."
Xun Yu said with approval: "It is true that with the talent of filial piety, no matter who assists, everyone will be valued. In troubled times, filial piety can show off one's talents and knowledge, build a world of achievements, and establish a solid foundation for the country."
