Xun Yu's face turned red. After rushing into the room, he roared angrily at Guo Jia.
Xun Yu has always given people a gentle and elegant impression. No matter what happened, even when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Lu Bu almost raided Cao Cao's hometown. Xun Yu, who stayed in Puyang at that time, faced the strong enemy soldiers.
He also looked calm and calm.
But today, he was really angry.
Guo Jiazheng was holding a volume of book and reading it with gusto.
Xun Yu rushed in and roared angrily at him, making Guo Jia startled.
"Wen Ruo, what's wrong with you?"
"What happened?" Xun Yu suppressed his anger, pointed at Guo Jia and shouted: "Today the governor of Liangzhou is Cao Ji, the governor of Jizhou is Cheng Yu, the governor of Yanzhou is Man Chong, the governor of Yuzhou is Jia Xu, there are also Henan Yin, Xia Houyuan, Jing Zhaoyin
Cao Hong, Cao Ren, the governor of Hedong, Zhang Liao, the governor of Bohai, and more than a dozen people jointly submitted a petition asking for the establishment of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the opening of the Thirteen Cao Cao. Guo Fengxiao, please don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Guo Jia smiled.
"Of course it has something to do with me. I pushed for this."
"Fengxiao, what do you want to do?"
"I don't do anything, I just reset the prime minister and open the Thirteen Cao.
Now Your Majesty is not concerned with government affairs, but needs capable ministers to assist him. I also know that it is unreasonable to reset the Prime Minister's Office. After all, it has been 210 years since Emperor Cheng appointed the Three Dukes to assist the government in the first year of Suihe (8 BC).
Fourteen years. Ke Wenruo, you should know clearly that when this dynasty was founded, the position of prime minister was already there. Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping and others appeared one after another, and they saved the dynasty from danger several times. This also shows that the prime minister
The job is of great importance and must not be ignored. Today, the world is in chaos and there are many princes. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Liu Zhang of Bashu, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong are all rebellious officials and traitors. These people have been under the rule for a long time, and it is not your Majesty who can deal with it. And the only one who can rule them is
, none other than Sikong. The purpose of relocating the prime minister now is to sweep the world in the future and to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Why is Wen Ruo angry? "
"Guo Fengxiao, don't try to deceive me."
Xun Yu was furious, pointed at Guo Jia's nose and said: "In my opinion, you are the traitor and traitor."
Guo Jia didn't care at all, but sat down leisurely.
"Am I a traitor?
Wen Ruo, what you said is really interesting. People often say that eating the emperor's salary is the only thing that is loyal to the emperor. I am Sikong Military Sacrifice Wine, and the person I serve is Sikong Er. Everything I do can be said to be for
Sikong thinks about it, how can we start talking about this rebellious minister and traitor?"
"you……"
Compared with Biancai, Xun Yu was no match for Guo Jia.
He glared at Guo Jia and was speechless for a long time.
As for Guo Jia, he is still sitting leisurely. But there is a hint of coldness in his bright eyes... Those who abandon me will not be able to keep yesterday's day; those who mess up my heart will be troubled today. You Xue
The words sung always make people feel deeply. Wen Ruo, I know what you are thinking, but I also hope you can see clearly that the Han Dynasty of today is no longer the Han Dynasty of the past. The imperial court of today is no longer the Han Dynasty of the past.
The imperial court of that time.
When I was chatting with Youxue before, he once said to me: Human life is actually about constant choices.
I didn't care at the time, but if I think about it carefully, it makes sense. Sometimes, you have to make a choice, for yourself, your family, and the common people. If you always want to swing left and right, not only is it no good,
On the contrary, he ends up not being a human being at all.
Wen Ruo, I understand your thoughts.
But you should also understand my determination...
Resetting the prime minister is not my plan, but the will of the people of the world. If the people of the world are not willing, even if I push it, I can't change the result. And I just mentioned it to them. But the result... Wen Ruo, the matter is over
Now, do you still want to stay in the middle?"
Guo Jia stared at Xun Yu with burning eyes.
In an instant, Xun Yu's momentum dropped and he sat slumped on the chair.
Guo Jia's meaning is already very obvious.
The Prime Minister's Mansion must be opened or not opened...and the person sitting in the Prime Minister's seat can only be Cao Cao.
Once the Prime Minister's Office is reestablished, Cao Cao can gather all the power in the world.
And Han Emperor Liu Xie will completely become a puppet because of this, and he will never rise again. Unless one day, Cao Cao is willing to return the government to Liu Xie. But will Cao Cao really do this? Put yourself in Xun Yu's shoes, if he were sitting there
In Cao Cao's position, he would never return power to the Han Emperor. If he did not return power, he would have the power of life and death in one body. Would Cao Cao at that time be willing to be a Marquis of Dingyuan?
Xun Yu can imagine what the future will be like.
He must admit that if Cao Cao becomes prime minister, it will be of great benefit to the world.
At least he will no longer have any constraints and can decide the direction of the government arbitrarily. But on the other hand, once the Prime Minister's Palace is reopened, the days of the Han Dynasty will not be long.
Xun Yu made up his mind since he was a child, hoping to become a famous minister.
But he also knew that with the current situation in the world, perhaps only Cao Cao could unify the world.
On the one hand, he hopes that Cao Cao can unify the world, and on the other hand, he hopes to continue the fortune of the Han Dynasty. It is this extremely contradictory thought that prevents him from making up his mind and making a final choice. Guo Jia is equal to
In front of him, his last fantasy was shattered.
Even if Cao Cao is not willing, Guo Jia and the others will never agree and return to power one day.
Until then...
Xun Yu suddenly felt extremely tired, raised his head and looked at Guo Jia.
This classmate and friend who he was very familiar with in the past has become extremely strange in Xun Yu's eyes. There is a hint of coldness in his thin cheeks. Xun Yu knows that since Guo Jia did this, he must be confident.
No one but Xun Wenruo could stop the repositioning of the prime minister.
After a long time, Xun Yu suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Whoever abandons me will not be able to keep yesterday's day; whoever messes with my heart will have many worries today."
"Wen Ruo, where are you going?"
"I'm going to meet Sikong."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to dissuade Sikong, it's just that... I suddenly felt tired and wanted to ask Sikong for some time off to think about it carefully."
"Wen Ruo, the battle in Youzhou is about to begin, how can you..."
Xun Yu paused, turned around, looked at Guo Jia, and after a moment he laughed miserably, "Fengxiao, don't worry.
When the Battle of Youzhou begins, I will definitely come back. But now... I have to trouble you and Gongren for the time being, don't worry..."
After saying that, Xun Yu walked out of the room.
After Guo Jia stood dumbly for a moment, he suddenly ran out.
He wanted to catch up with Xun Yu, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again.
This kind of thing is not something he can help with. Only he himself can solve Xun Yu's tangled thoughts, not others who can help.
"Husband, Wen Ruohe..."
Mrs. Guo quietly came behind Guo Jia and asked softly.
After a while, Guo Jia sighed and said, "Don't worry, with Wen Ruo's talent, he will be able to figure out the truth behind this."
"But what if he can't figure it out?"
"If he can't understand..."
Guo Jia bit her lip, turned around, held Mrs. Guo in her arms, but said no more.
But Mrs. Guo suddenly felt a chill.
If Xun Yu couldn't figure it out in the end, the only thing that would greet him was... Even if Cao Cao relied heavily on him, he would not be willing to tolerate a vacillating adviser, and he was his most trusted adviser. Likewise, the court
, will also harbor evil thoughts towards him. If it really comes to that point, Xun Yu’s fate can be imagined. I hope, as Guo Jia said, he can figure it out.
But sometimes, the smarter the person, the easier it is to get into trouble.
Mrs. Guo also knew Xun Yu and couldn't help but feel a little worried about his future.

In December of the 11th year of Jian'an, the governors of four states, including Cheng Yu, the governor of Jizhou, Man Chong, the governor of Yanzhou, Jia Xu, the governor of Yuzhou, and Kong Rong, the governor of Yangzhou, together with a total of 37 prefects from each county, wrote to the imperial court, requesting re-election.
The Prime Minister's Office was established to take charge of all government affairs.
The Han Emperor responded with silence at first.
But three days later, the governors of Liangzhou, Cao Ji, Xuzhou, and Xu Qiu, as well as seventeen county governors, wrote to the court again, pleading for the relocation of the prime minister's palace.
As a result, the governors of the seven states jointly submitted a letter, plus nearly 60 governors from various places. The effect produced made the court feel inexplicable panic. The old officials of the Han Dynasty expressed their opposition and wrote that the Prime Minister's Palace could not be reset.
, saying that this is the ancestral law and cannot be abolished. However, even if people think that there was a prime minister in the early Han Dynasty, and he dismissed the prime minister when he became the emperor, it actually violated the ancestral law.
For a time, the two sides argued endlessly and became a mess.
But both Cao Cao, the leader of the Cao Wei side, and Liu Guang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, expressed silence.
On December 17, a group of military figures represented by Cao Hong of Beijing Zhao Yin, Xia Houyuan of Henan Yin, and General Xia Houdun of Wei came forward to express their support for the idea of the governor of the seven states and to reset the prime minister. As soon as these military representatives came forward,
The effects produced are naturally different.
Those veterans of the Han Dynasty who had been the most fiercely opposed before suddenly ceased their efforts.
Youdao means that when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain the truth clearly.
They can argue with Cheng Yu and the others, and the great thing is to blame each other. But if the military representatives stand up, it will not be as simple as just talking. At this time, Da Sinong, Linyi Marquis Liu Guang stood up. Unexpectedly
Yes, he actually agreed to reset the prime minister.
The old officials of the Han Dynasty were helpless about this.
The reason Liu Guang agreed was not because he loved Cao Cao, but because he simply could not compete with Cao Cao.
If you persist, you may die...
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty. The death of one person is a huge loss for the court. Cao Cao could afford the loss, but the Han Emperor could not afford the loss.
A few days later, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to reset the prime minister, worshiped Cao Cao as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and established Thirteen Cao Cao on the basis of Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao submitted a letter to resign, expressing his unwillingness to accept the edict. The next day, the Han Emperor issued another edict, appointing Cao Cao as prime minister. However, Cao Cao still submitted a letter to resign.
It's not that Cao Cao didn't want to do it, it was a rule.
Three invitations and three speeches can, on the one hand, show Cao Cao's humility, and on the other hand, they can also show the Han Emperor's thirst for talents.
Emperor Han also knew about this.
Regardless of whether he was willing or not, this third edict was still issued in accordance with the rules.
On the first day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of Jian'an, that is, ten days later, the Yuxiu Terrace was changed into a prime minister's worship platform, where sacrifices were made to ancestors and Cao Cao was appointed prime minister.
This is the formal ceremony of paying homage to the Prime Minister.
Only after going through this process can Cao Cao be considered the real prime minister.
After the third edict was issued, Cao Cao did not refuse anymore, but followed the trend and agreed...
On December 24, Xun Yu returned to Xudu. He was still the Minister of the Secretariat, and it seemed that he had no objection.
Just like before, prepare for the battle of Youzhou.
After Cao Cao becomes Prime Minister, the Battle of Youzhou will begin.
At this time, the Lu family's delegation from Han Dynasty also landed at the Luhan port. The port was named Fukushima. As for its meaning, only they themselves understood it.
Lu Lan got off the boat and turned around to look at the sea.
I don’t know if Ah Fu has arrived in Nanyang County at this time?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ah sneeze!
Cao Peng sat astride the liger and suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and couldn't help but curse: "This damn weather... It's almost spring, why is it snowing all of a sudden?"
No wonder Cao Peng was so angry, this trip was really not going smoothly.
After leaving Xingyang on the first day of December, we encountered a rare heavy snowfall. In desperation, we stayed in Xinzheng for three days and finally waited for the snow to stop before setting off on the road again. Unexpectedly, just after passing Changshe, it was again
There was a heavy snowfall. The snow was so strong that it blocked the road. Cao Peng had no choice but to stay in Yingyin for two more days after meeting up with Du Ji, Lu Yu and others before setting off on the road again.
The two days of Yingyin were definitely a disaster for Cao Peng.
Yingchuan Academy, does it exist?
There is Yuzhou, and even the entire Central Plains, the cradle and holy land for cultivating scholars...
In this small county town, there are many celebrities and scholars of today, not to mention many aristocratic families. Just a visit would make Cao Peng vomit blood.
You visited the Zhong family but not the Chen family?
Okay, you look down on me...
But if you visit every house, you really can’t stand it.
There are more than a dozen wealthy families in Yingyin. If you visit them one by one, you will not be able to finish them within four or five days. In the end, it was old man Zhong Yao who came up with the idea to use the four families of Zhong, Chen, Xun, and Han.
Come forward and invite the heads of families in Yingchuan to gather and meet together.
That banquet was really boring in the extreme.
Cao Peng felt bored interacting with this group of elders.
But what's interesting is that when Cao Peng came to Yingyin this time, he caught up with Zhong Yao taking a concubine.
Zhong Yao's wife's surname is Sun, and she is also a descendant of the Yingchuan family. She has a son named Zhong Yu, who is eight years old. Zhong Yao, on the other hand, is already fifty-five years old and has only one son. Perhaps he feels that he is too young.
Not prosperous, sorry for his status as the head of the Zhong family, so Zhong Yao took in another concubine who was only sixteen years old. This concubine's surname was Jia, and she was good-looking, but she was born in Jiangzuo, Yangzhou.
Mrs. Sun is a very jealous woman. Although she doesn't say anything, her face is not very pretty.
After Cao Peng returned to his residence, he mentioned this matter and couldn't help but lament his good luck. Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen were not the kind of jealous women. They tolerated him having three concubines and accepted Lu Lan's existence. This is also
Let Cao Peng express his gratitude for God's care for him.
However, Cao Peng did not expect that what happened next made him feel bitter...
