In February, a yellow dragon appeared in Peiguo Well
This year is indeed an unusual year. Whether the restructuring is really that practical will be answered this year. Many people still think that the restructuring has a certain effect, especially Guo Jia. After all, in the temple,
There are so many talents, and there are so many less idiots. He can feel this best when he is reviewing the memorials. No one will talk nonsense and give him a headache.
Among the three orders, Guo Jia was perhaps the most awe-inspiring among the ministers. This was different from the beginning. At first, everyone thought that only Shangshu Ling would become a giant in the temple, and that he simply took over all the powers of the three ministers. However,
, after the new system was implemented for a period of time, everyone had a new view, and the Shangshu Ling did not fully interfere with the implementation of the policies of the mansions under his command.
All he can do is to serve as a liaison between the emperor and the various government agencies, and to supervise the ministers and control the overall situation. The Shizhong Ling is different. The Shizhong Ling can watch the ministers' presentations and review the ministers' proposals.
He even controls the Yushi Mansion and has the power to supervise and arrest officials. The office of Shi Zhongling is in the Houde Hall.
He can get along with the emperor every day, and the title of servant, who can enter the palace to meet the emperor at any time, needs this servant order to give him.
Being able to accompany the emperor is already a huge enough power. Plus other things, the officials are naturally in awe of him. No one dares to offend him. If he offends the Shizhongling, he can
He can directly report to the emperor, without even having to submit a memorial, just give the emperor a word. In addition, he can also send out the Yushitai and...embroidery messengers.
Yes, as the emperor's personal army, the messengers with embroidered clothes must also obey the orders of the sergeant. Of course, the messengers with embroidered clothes still obey the orders of the emperor. However, the arrest task still has to be issued by the sergeant.
Embroidered clothes.
After learning these things, Guo Jia's life was quite nourishing.
Accompanying the emperor all day long, Guo Jia did not feel that sense of restraint. Generally speaking, the emperor would not restrict him. Even in a place like the palace, he could come in and out freely, but he could not drink alcohol.
, venting the anger of not being able to drink to the ministers every day, this feeling is particularly good. When I am not dealing with memorials, I am taking care of Hu'er. According to what the emperor said, maybe this child will be taught by him in the future.
.
After walking out of the palace, Guo Jia wrapped up his coat.
It's already February, but it's still quite cold outside. I don't know why, but the climate is getting colder year by year. It's only the hot summer that feels better. Guo Jia, who has been weak since childhood, is extremely disgusted.
In such coldness, Guo Jia walked towards his carriage. The guards at the palace gate all bowed to him, but Guo Jia just nodded and hurried towards the carriage.
Walking to the side of the carriage, the coachman looked a little sad and hesitated to speak. Guo Jia glanced at him and said, "Wear thicker clothes next time!" After getting on the carriage and entering the car, Guo Jia was immediately frightened.
Suddenly, there was another person sitting in the carriage. This person was stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile. Guo Jia felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in his heart.
If anyone in Luoyang can make Guo Jia so scared, there is no doubt that it is our Cao Situ. Apart from Cao Situ, Guo Jia has never taken anyone else seriously, but Cao Situ is different.
, I still remember that back then, Cao Situ went crazy and issued various government orders. Of course, those government orders were good. Whether it was the new tax order, the order to support the people, the order to protect the infants, or the canal order, they all played a role in today's big men.
Huge effect.
It can be said that Cao Situ is definitely the one whose contribution is second only to Wang Fu among all the recent Situ in Dahan.
But the problem is, these decrees were all implemented by Guo Jia!!
From then on, Guo Jia felt disgust, hatred, and fear for this Cao Situ in his heart. In the end, it developed into a shadow, a shadow that could not be forgotten. Guo Jia looked at him, his face was a little pale, and he took a deep breath.
After taking a breath, he calmed down a little. Calm down, Guo Fengxiao, calm down. It's not the past now. He is an imperial minister, and he only has an empty title of Third Duke.
"Mr. Cao?"
"Long time no see. Are you okay?"
Guo Jia bowed his hands and bowed. Cao Cao smiled and said in return: "It's not very good. I'm so weak. If I want to go out, I can only take a car. The cold weather makes it hard for me to walk...
I have wanted to come to Fengxiao for a long time, but I have been on the sickbed all the time. I feel better today, so I came here..."
"Then Situ should take more care of himself. It's freezing today, so don't go out. It's better to go back and have a good rest..." Guo Jia said seriously. Cao Cao looked at him and sighed: "Look
Come on, Fengxiao is still very distant from me. I came to you this time because of something..."
really!
Guo Jia quickly said: "It's too late today. I'll visit Cao Situ another day. If there's anything else, I'll talk about it then, okay?"
"You misunderstood, Fengxiao. I know. It turns out that I did make you tired. It was all my fault. I came here this time just to invite you to my home and chat with me."
It's just a meeting, so that I can apologize to Fengxiao for what happened in the past."
"What did Situ say? There is no need to apologize. I certainly understand Mr. Situ. Mr. Situ, you'd better go back and rest early."
"Oh, okay, okay, it seems that Fengxiao doesn't want to chat with me anymore, then I'll go back... My body is getting weaker and weaker, and my headaches are not going away. I don't know if I will have any more in the future.
This is a chance to talk to Fengxiao, please take care, I will take my leave..." Cao Cao said, opening the curtain with his thin hands, getting out of the car slowly, and walked towards his carriage,
The groom came quickly to support him.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the thin, hunched back, Guo Jia was silent for a long time.
"Guo Lingjun? Do you want to go back home?"
Guo Jia's groom asked from the front.
"Oh... forget it, come pick me up at Situ's Mansion later..." Guo Jia said, quickly got out of the car and called to Cao Cao not far away: "Situ Gong! Wait for me for a moment!"
!"
.............
Stuart's Mansion.
In the study, Cao Cao and Guo Jia sat facing each other, eating their food happily. Guo Jia ate quickly, but Cao Cao ate a little slowly, and his hands were still shaking slightly. Guo Jia didn't say anything, and he didn't.
He just slowed down his pace and ate as slowly as possible, and Cao Cao started chatting with him.
"I don't want to stay in the mansion anymore. It's not interesting to be alone all day. I want to eat porridge, but I can't walk..."
"Master Situ, where are your children? Are they not in the house?"
"They have grown up and have their own families. I can't let them all stay with me... By the way, Dalang has a child, so I'm the one to take care of him, but it's freezing cold, so they can't."
There is no way to send the child here... Hahaha, I'm sure..." Cao Cao said happily.
Guo Jia discovered that Situ Gong was indeed old.
When talking, he no longer has the cleverness, talkativeness, and humor of the past. Instead, he is just a decrepit old man. In just one winter, this old man has officially become an old man, repeating what he just said.
He seems to be a little forgetful about the words he has said before, and even a little confused. He can't distinguish the year and the year. He has even forgotten when he was an official and the dates when various government decrees were promulgated.
Only those children he remembered particularly clearly.
Speaking of his children, he could still tell in detail where they were and what they were doing. Especially for his eldest grandson, whom he had never met, he never forgot about them, and his words were full of love.
"If I could see my eldest grandson, I would die without regrets."
Cao Situ has said this sentence many times.
Looking at the stains on his clothes, Guo Jia was speechless for a long time. The power of time is so powerful that even the wisest people in the world cannot resist this power and gradually become dull.
He becomes stupid and his mood fluctuates greatly.
While Cao Cao was eating with his head down, Guo Jia took a closer look around, looking at the wall and the documents in the distance. He already understood the reason why Cao Cao invited him to come. There were maps hanging on the wall.
Cloth was hung to cover it up, but Guo Jia still clearly understood the exposed part, which was the Han Dynasty's water transportation map, as well as the documents in the distance and various documents piled up around it.
These things are all hidden, not very well.
Why did Cao Situ hide these things?
It's very simple. He was afraid that he would run away early, so he brought him here to help him make arrangements for the canal. In a moment, Guo Jia figured out all the thoughts in Cao Situ's mind.
To be honest, Guo Jia wanted to wave his sleeves away angrily, leaving Cao Cao no chance to speak, no chance to deceive himself, or to drive him away.
However, facing this scam that was full of loopholes, Guo Jia suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Finally, Cao Cao finished his meal and looked at Guo Jia in front of him. He seemed a little confused and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered. He stood up with a smile and said, "Fengxiao, we have finished our meal."
...Speaking of which, I have been really busy these days, busy formulating strategies for the canal every day...Look..." Cao Cao stood up, walked to the wall, and lifted the cloth
, and sure enough, it is a water transportation map.
"Fengxiao, look, the Central Plains area is dotted with various water systems. I wonder how we can make the canal play its greatest role?"
"If we can connect Yizhou to Jingzhou, Jingzhou to Yu, Yan, then to Qingxu, and to Youyang through Qingwaihai, how should we design the route of this canal?"
Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Guo Jia stood up suddenly, pointed at Cao Cao in front of him, and shouted in fear: "Cao Situ! There are still some things at home!"
"Hey, I've already delayed the curfew. Hahaha, even if you are ordered by Zhongshu Ling, you can't go out. It's best to give me a good look at this map. There is also relevant information there. Tonight, the canal will be
Once you have a rough design, I will let you go!"
"I am the Shizhong Ling, not the Zhongshu Ling. However, I am also the Third Order of the Temple. What can you do to me?"
Guo Jia said disdainfully.
"Haha, if you don't obey, I will tell Man Chong that you are drinking and drinking in my mansion."
"you!!"
Guo Jia gritted his teeth and looked helpless. Finally, he came to the wall helplessly. In fact, the design of this water transportation diagram was not difficult, but Cao Situ was now powerless.
