Guo Jia, who was pale and skinny, leaned against the window and vaguely heard the exclamations coming from outside. This made him a little surprised. He climbed to the window to see what was going on outside. Unfortunately, Tingwei Prison was built Underground, unlike elsewhere, the window can only transmit a ray of sunlight, and the rest can't be seen. Staying in this damp dungeon all day, coupled with this repeated alcohol addiction, made Guo Jia miserable. Better to die.
Guo Jia looked around. Because of his special nature, there were no prisoners around him. There was only a young man in the distance. However, Guo Jia didn't talk to him. This person came later than Guo Jia. Somewhere, Guo Jia faced his position and asked: "Sir, you came in later than me, do you know what happened outside?"
Hearing Guo Jia's words, the man opposite slowly raised his head and replied: "Back to Shangshu Ling, before I was imprisoned here, I had been in the prison of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy and I didn't know the situation outside!"
"oh?"
"You recognize me?"
"Of course I recognize it. I wonder if Guo Jun knows that there is a memorial in the Di Bao Mansion, talking about Guo Jun's affairs..." The man opposite said, Guo Jia thought for a moment, and then asked: "You mean that general I scolded you so much that I was called a drunken libertine in that article?"
"That's right! That article was written exactly below!", the man said with some pride.
Guo Jia looked at him, sneered, and said: "No wonder you are locked up here, what do you call yourself? After we get out, let's meet alone and have a good chat?"
Yu Fan laughed softly and said: "Guo Jun, I call you Yu Fan. I have heard about Guo Jun's deeds for a long time. I have longed for it for a long time. Unexpectedly, we can meet here today!", heard After Yu Fan's words, Guo Jia didn't pursue his article anymore. The two sat next to the fence and started chatting. Guo Jia said helplessly: "I just took the powder, so I am kept here and not allowed to go out." , I love this guy so much that he missed my big event for the sake of some political achievements!"
"As far as I know, since Situ Gong took a break, Guo Jun has been drinking and having fun every day and never worked. I wonder what has been delayed?"
Guo Jia's face turned red, he cleared his throat and asked, "What crime did you come in for?"
"I was imprisoned because I told the truth. At the Xiuyi Messenger's Mansion, I cursed Yuan Shang all day long. The guy couldn't stand it, so he threw me here..."
Guo Jia laughed and asked, "Then why don't you continue scolding Man Chong?"
Yu Fan's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "Although Lord Manchu has some minor faults, he is an upright man, acts justly, and is not afraid of powerful people. Sometimes, even the emperor dares to give direct advice, and his personal ethics are not compromised. That’s why I respect him very much!”
"Well... you are not a bad person. You may be able to serve as a censor or something in the future..." Guo Jia nodded, sighed helplessly, and said, "I have something very important to do. I have prepared a lot for this matter, but I didn’t expect that I am here now...I delayed important things, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get out and would end up in the sea with a good friend of mine..."
The two of them chatted, not too happily, but it was much better than just sitting around in boredom.
After another moment, the door of the dungeon was slowly pushed open, and a person quickly stepped in.
Guo Jia and Yu Fan also stopped talking and looked at the door. They saw a person walking towards them. Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he exclaimed and stood up quickly. He walked towards the front, "Wen Ruo? Wen Ruo?! Is that you?!" Guo Jia shouted and quickly came to the prison fence. The person standing in front of him was actually Xun Yu.
Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia in front of him with a smile, and asked teasingly: "Has Fengxiao ever missed me so much?"
Guo Jia waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, did you bring me a drink?"
"Drinks? Do you know how strict Tingwei is? I'll bring you drinks. I'm afraid I'll go in and accompany you!" Xun Yu said unhappily and took out a package. Guo Jia was not excited. Because judging from the shape, this was not a jug of fine wine. Xun Yu took out some books from the package, handed them to Guo Jia, and said, "When you are bored, you can read the books..."
Guo Jia snorted coldly, sat down, and didn't look at him again.
"Aren't you just going in to accompany me? So what? You are such a dishonest person!"
Listening to Guo Jia's complaints, Xun Yu sat down helplessly. Regardless of the mess on the ground, Guo Jia glanced out the window and asked, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"The Confederate Army is back, and the people are waiting to welcome it. It has nothing to do with you."
"Wen Ruo... you go to the emperor and find a way to get me out..." Guo Jia suddenly said. Xun Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "I will talk to the emperor..."
"You haven't started to do what I told you yet?! Don't be anxious. Wait until I go out before you do it. Otherwise, without me, you won't be able to fight them..." Guo Jia said solemnly. Xun Yu nodded and said nothing. Yu Fan suddenly popped up, looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Is this Mr. Xun?!"
Xun Yu was stunned, looked at the strange young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am exactly that."
Yu Fan laughed and asked: "It is said that you failed in agricultural science in the assessment back then, but is it true?"
When he asked, Xun Yu was stunned. Guo Jia on the side suddenly threw the book in his hand. The book hit Yu Fan's head. Yu Fan covered his head and screamed. Xun Yu had never seen Guo Jia like this before. With an angry look, Guo Jia's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "How dare you criticize Wen Ruo?? He took the exam at the age of fourteen and failed in agriculture. Where were you playing in the mud at the age of fourteen?! "
Yu Fan did not refute, but saluted Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and slowly retreated to his seat.
Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia in surprise. Instead of following the man, he spoke for himself???
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if you are like this, I will not bring you wine!"
"Hahaha, it's okay. After all, you're not good at agriculture. Do you have the guts to give me a drink?"
"Is he related to these two things?"
The two laughed and laughed. Guo Jia stopped and coughed violently. Scarlet blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to laugh, but Xun Yu had already He couldn't laugh anymore. He frowned, looked at Guo Jia, and said seriously: "Take care of yourself here, quit drinking, quit drinking, and then come out and help me!"
"Haha, quit? You don't know, if I don't drink or take powder, my mind will be blank..."
"Don't talk nonsense. When you were accredited in all four subjects, did you ever drink alcohol and take it away?"
"Have you ever been like this when you were an administrator at Shangshutai for twenty years??"
"Even if you become a fool, as long as you can come out safely, I will admit it!! What we need is not your advice, what I need is my friends, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao." Xun Yu.
After saying that, he stood up and left the prison without looking back. Guo Jia watched him leave blankly, then lowered his head and looked at the books in his hands, the books Xun Yu had just sent.
"The Theory of Qianfu", this is what Xun Yu sent. Looking at the book in his hand, Guo Jia's hands shook violently and he slowly opened the first page. This was not the first time he opened this book.
, after Master Jun was killed by a traitor, he has been reading this book at night. Every time he reads it, the feeling is different, and this time, when he opens the book.
He seemed to see an old man standing in front of him.
The old man was wearing very simple clothes, but he raised his head high, as if no one was worthy of being looked down upon by him.
When he lowered his head and looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia saw the disappointment in his eyes and the helplessness in his eyes. This made Guo Jia close his eyes in pain. He did not dare to look at each other and asked his master to
I am disappointed. I should have continued my master's career and done something even greater. My master had high hopes for me, but I have accomplished nothing, accomplished nothing, and accomplished nothing!!!
In a daze, the old man held his shoulder.
He leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"Adults are not flashy, but gentlemen are pragmatic."
Guo Jia murmured these words and lowered his head. At the very beginning of the book, this sentence seemed to be written.
...
At the same time, in Houde Hall
Tingwei Manchong sat in front of the emperor and talked about Guo Jia's situation, "He was noisy at first and asked for death. Now he is much quieter. However, he eats very little and gradually loses weight. He has not touched wine for many days.
The doctor said that he has a serious abdominal disease. No matter what, he must not be close to alcohol or powder, especially powder. Ordinary people will have problems after eating it, let alone a patient like him..."
"As for alcohol, for him, it is a deadly poison. If he drinks it once more, his lifespan may be shortened by a few years... This is what the doctor said. I follow His Majesty's instructions and give it to him every day.
He eats herbs and eats according to the preparations of the Chinese Normal University, and occasionally lets him go out to bask in the sun, but his condition still doesn't improve... Logically speaking, his sentence has expired, should he be released?
"
Hearing Man Chong's inquiry, Liu Xi shook his head. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Just keep him locked up for a few more days. A big event will happen in the temple in the near future. I ordered Sikong and you to try to lock him up."
On the one hand, I want him to stop doing this, and on the other hand, I want him to stay away from the recent competition in the temple. My father owes him, and I can't let this happen again. Wait until I say let him go, and then you can let him go.
You must pay attention to him and make sure nothing happens."
Man Chong nodded without saying anything.
"Okay, you go back. I have to go over and wait for the captains of the Confederate Army to come and pay their respects. Guo Jia is not allowed to know what I just said."
Man Chong then left.
Sitting in the Houde Hall, Liu Xi looked a little solemn.
Alas, my family owes him. This time, I will protect him well. What happened in the year of Xiping will never happen in the year of Yankang.
Whoever dares to act rashly will be punished by the three clans...
