Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 676
The candlelight was flickering, and the thin figure was reflected on the wall, shaking constantly. In the middle of the night, there was no one in the Shangshu Mansion. Guo Jia sat alone in front of the case. There were three cases in front of him. The one on the far left was piled up with documents. , These are all things that he has not yet processed. On the case in front of him, there are documents that he is processing. On the right side, there is also a mountain of documents, which proves that he has spent a whole day here.

The year of Yankang is a busy year. Guo Jia has realized this for a long time. When Cao Cao served as Situ, he was already in despair. This political madman will definitely not let him go. Sure enough, he did not expect it , since Cao Cao served as Situ, Guo Jia has never had any rest time. Long, long ago, when he probably didn't meet Cao Cao, Guo Jia still enjoyed the feeling of writing vigorously by candlelight.

But now it’s all tears, Guo Jia sighed, Shangshutai is divided into three, fortunately, the formulation of government orders and review are no longer under his jurisdiction, but the specific implementation of the matter still makes him unable to hold his head up Later, when the Yangzhou Canal was dug, officials from all over the country needed to report to Shangshutai, including Cao Cao. All material transfers, personnel transfers, and people's corvee orders must be issued by Shangshutai.

Cao Cao wanted to implement an administrative order in Yangzhou. After he gave the order, he had to report it to the Shizhongtai. After being reviewed by the Shizhongtai, he arrived at the Shangshutai. Guo Jia went to watch it in person and gave the best implementation plan. Cao Cao's decrees can only be implemented by ordering. Although this is a bit cumbersome, it is to ensure that the temple knows all the decrees, and all decrees are issued from the temple, not privately. This is conducive to the concentration of power in the temple.

With the simultaneous development of the Yangzhou Canal and Xizhou Road, the officials of Shangshutai have been expanded again and again. Most of the officials who will be assessed this year will probably enter Shangshutai. Only people like Guo Jia who don't care about their fame are willing to stay in a place where they can't gain fame for themselves. The officials at Shangshutai are very tired, but they still have time to rest.

Guo Jia is different. These days, he directly moved his family to Shangshutai, and he is busy working day and night.

"Guo Fengxiao~~Guo Fengxiao~~~"

Suddenly, there were bursts of strange whispers from outside the door. Guo Jia, who was writing, trembled with fright, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground. With the hilt on his waist, he asked loudly: "Who is playing tricks here?!!"

"Guo Fengxiao~~Your death has come~~~"

The voice outside the door was erratic, Guo Jia's complexion was pale, trembling all over, the door was opened suddenly, cold wind blew into the room, Guo Jia also drew out his sword, his eyes widened, vaguely, he saw the person outside the door Reflection, that is a person who seems to be wearing a long sword and a sword? ? ?Guo Jia thought about it, and suddenly, he frowned, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with some displeasure: "I thought it was something evil."

"It turned out to be a mediocre ghost with inferior agricultural science."

"Hahaha!!" Laughter came from outside the door, Xun Yu walked into the room, closed the door and sat in front of Guo Jia, Guo Jia stared at him angrily, gritted his teeth, and said, "Is it fun? ? Are you not afraid that I will be scared to death??", Xun Yu laughed, put the food and drink in his hand aside, shook his head, and said, "Don't be afraid, even if you are scared to death, you will smell the wine. It will definitely come back to life.”

Guo Jia glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to write with his head down.

Seeing that he was serious, Xun Yu didn't say much. He brought the case from the side, put it in front of him, lit a candle, took the copy from the left, and started to help Guo Jia write it. Guo Jia didn't even read it. He glanced at him. These days, Xun Yu often ran to him to help Guo Jia deal with these things. The two of them had been busy for a long time. Guo Jia had just eaten some food and drank a few drinks. Somewhat warm.

"I asked you to move a stove, but you didn't listen. It's freezing cold now."

"Stop talking nonsense and write yours"

The two of them were busy until the early morning, before they put down the pens in their hands, and simply drank the rest of the wine. After drinking some, Guo Jia asked, "Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"You think I brought these here to beg you?"

"Ha ha."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Jia Xu is back and will be a Sinonong."

"What about this?"

"Of course it's nothing, but I'm still a little worried about this kid. You don't know, he's completely incomprehensible. You can't tell which is true and which is false when you talk to him. I think he will order in the future, When you want to carry it out, help me see."

"Heh, didn't you come to review the decree before it came into effect?"

"The document of the government order is one thing, and the specific implementation is another. In this regard, you are better than me."

"No, I am better than you in every aspect. I am a champion in all four subjects, and you are not as good as Nongsang."

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, before he said: "Oh, yes, you don't know yet. Recently there was a young man called Cao Chong, the son of Situ, who was very talented." Guo Jia sneered and didn't care at all. Xun Yu continued: "This guy also won all four subjects. Now he is less than eighteen. Tell me, is he better than you?" Hearing Xun Yu's words, Guo Jia was taken aback , frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"

"All four subjects, according to your standards, you should be much better than you."

"Hehe, my master's letter!"

"That's right, he doesn't even have a teacher, look at him, he doesn't need to be taught, how outstanding!"

"you!!!"

Xun Yu looked at the irritable Guo Jia, smiled, and was about to leave. Just as he was about to leave, Xun Yu stopped, looked at Guo Jia, and said, "By the way, come to my mansion another day. Qian Don't forget"

Watching Xun Yu leave, Guo Jia sat in the mansion, thinking, Cao Cao's child won four crowns? ?Are you fooled? ?No, he is Sikong's son-in-law, and Sikong presided over the assessment, um, there must be something shady about it.

The next day, Guo Jia left Shangshutai in a hurry, and the officials were a little surprised. Shangshuling would never leave here, especially at such a busy time. What happened? ?

Guo Jia knocked on the door of Cao's mansion, and soon, a servant opened the door to meet Guo Jia, and just now asked about the purpose of coming, Guo Jia cleared his throat and asked, "Is Cao Chong here?"

The servant was taken aback. Recently, there were indeed many people who came to visit Cao Chong, but no one dared to call him by his name. Looking at the person in front of him, it seemed that his status was not low. You are in the mansion, I don’t know Your Excellency”

"Tell him, Shang Shu ordered Guo Jia to come and let him come out to meet him!!"

The servant was shocked, and hurried to see him again, and then hurried into the mansion.

Not long after, Cao Pi led the crowd over. Cao Pi knew him, and bowed and said, "See you Shangshu Ling!!" In the past, Cao Pi followed Liu Xi to meet Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also had some impressions of him. , nodded, and asked, "Where's your younger brother?" A young man flashed out from behind Cao Pi and bowed to Guo Jia. Guo Jia sized up the handsome young man in front of him. That black dwarf Stuart doesn't look like that? !

Cao Pi led him into the mansion, entered the room, and the three sat down.

Guo Jia ignored Cao Pi, but looked at Cao Chong, and asked with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Wang won all four subjects?"

Cao Chong smiled shyly and said, "It's just a fluke."

"You are the second, the first is me!" Guo Jia said, Cao Chong was not surprised at all, obviously he also knew the news, he nodded and said: "Of course I dare not compare with Guo Gong Seeing his respectful appearance, Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded, and his tone became much gentler. He said: "In the past, I won all four subjects, and I was very happy that the emperor gave me the position of ministerial servant."

"In these years, those who are not as good as me have also climbed to high positions. Even those who are not as good as Nongsang have become servants, but I am still the minister. As of today." Guo Jia said Then, Cao Chong nodded, Guo Jia looked at Cao Chong, and said seriously: "I would like to recommend you to be the servant of the Minister, what do you think?" Cao Chong was shocked, and looked at his elder brother, Cao Pi frowned.

The position of Shang Shupu is not low, but very high. In terms of power, it is even stronger than Cao Pi who is Jiuqing. However, this position belongs to Shang Shutai, and Cao Pi also knows the situation of Shang Shutai. , he didn't really hope that Cao Chong would go there. Before he could open his mouth, Cao Chong asked, "Where is Pu She an official?" Guo Jia replied, "Luo Yang, Shangshutai."

"We are responsible for implementing administrative orders. Any government order in the world must pass through our hands. If the government order fails, it is our fault. If it succeeds, it is the achievements of the person who ordered it. From this position, there is no benefit or gain. Fame is unknown, but you have to pay the most, be the busiest, and suffer all kinds of hardships." Guo Jia didn't hide anything, and told him the truth directly.

Both Cao Chong and Cao Pi seemed a little dull.

Cao Chong asked suspiciously: "Is there no benefit?"

"Of course there are advantages. The only advantage is that you can create a prosperous world in your heart with your own hands. You can really participate in this process, not talking about it in the mansion, not thinking about world affairs in the temple, but actually doing it. Facts." Guo Jia said.

"Okay, I'll go!" Cao Chong said directly, Cao Pi was startled, and said: "Cang Shu, this still needs Father." Cao Chong shook his head and said, "Father said, he will not interfere with our choice, he will Let's do what we want to do, I want to go to Shangshutai, brother don't need to say more."

Cao Pi looked at Cao Chong and Guo Jia beside him, feeling a little headache.

Guo Jia laughed, nodded, and said, "Okay, now, I recognize you as a champion in all four subjects."

Cao Chong was still a little shy, but his eyes were exceptionally firm. He nodded and said, "I would like to follow Guo Gong!"

Guo Jia nodded, but did not speak again.

Cao thief, I want to let you know what the cycle of heaven is! ! !
