Chapter 772 The People Behind the Scenes
The seventh year of Yankang is really not a happy year. During this year, the temple lost two important ministers, and two famous generals passed away, leaving some sadness for the world and going to heaven .

Hua Xiong was born in the Northern Army and guarded Liangzhou for more than ten years. After returning to Luoyang, he served in Zhijinwu. , The mansion reported the order, conferring meritorious service on the Marquis of Zheng County, and enfeoffing him as General Hushi. After discussing with Cao Cao and his ministers, he entered the Hall of Loyalty with meritorious service.

Gongsun Zan was born in the New Army of Youzhou and has been stationed in Youzhou for ten years. As a brave captain, he participated in many foreign battles in Youzhou. General, served as the master of military science, cultivated countless generals, bestowed on Kun Yuanhou, worshiped the general after Liu Bei played, and entered the Hall of Loyalty with his merits.

In the midst of nostalgia and grief, the seven years of Yankang ended slowly.

Yankang eight years, January

It was snowing lightly in Luoyang, and it was a bit cold. However, this did not affect the bustling crowd on the street. The street was as lively as ever, and even the noise of the street could be heard in Tingwei's dungeon. Guo Jia sat in the prison, listening to the laughter outside, breathed out a mouthful of mist, and rubbed his hands.

"Guo Jun, it's January."

On the side, Yu Fan said in a daze, they were imprisoned for such a long time, even if they offended the emperor, there should be a result, either release or kill, how could they imprison themselves like this How long?Hearing his words, Guo Jia snorted coldly, shook his head, and said: "I always feel that we have been forgotten. Perhaps this Tingwei is our final destination."

"My teacher once told me that if you don't change your temperament, one day you will spend the rest of your life in the court. Sure enough, my teacher never lied to me!"

The two of them were chatting when they heard the door being pushed open.

Two soldiers came in, and without waiting for Guo Jia to ask, they directly opened the prison where Guo Jia and Yu Fan were being held, and escorted them out. Guo Jia and Yu Fan did not speak, and were escorted out of the prison by the soldiers. Because of Guo Jia's weak body, he was put on several layers of overcoats before the cold winter, dressed like a barbarian outside the Great Wall, but it was quite warm this way.

Even in the cold winter, the sun was still hanging high in the sky. Guo Jia looked at the sky excitedly. He never thought that one day, he would be so excited because he could breathe fresh air and see the sun. Still not very pretty, the two were escorted by serious soldiers, and walked all the way towards Tingwei Mansion, walking on the road, Yu Fan said in a low voice:
"Guo Jun, this time, I guess my life is in danger. I have a son who was born just this year. If possible, please ask Guo Jun to take care of me for a while."

Yu Fan spoke quickly, Guo Jia was taken aback, but shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, today's Zi Mingjun will never kill you just because he is angry with you."

"Don't talk!", the soldier reprimanded them severely, and took the two of them into the mansion.

Man Chong stood beside the superior, with a stern face, looking at the two of them, surrounded by some courtiers, many new faces, Guo Jia has never seen it before, it seems that the restructuring is complete, No, didn't that fellow Xun Yu say to wait for me to go out before doing it?Or did Ting Wei encounter some major event, so he had to replace officials?

Guo Jia was thinking about it, but Man Chong said: "Today, a nobleman will personally judge the two of you!"

"I hope you two will change your mind sincerely, don't resist!"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes, allowing Man Chong to stand beside him. Is this nobleman a little young, a little thin?
Sure enough, Liu Xi came out from the side. Unlike before, he sat down in a very solemn position. The court officials immediately got up and bowed to the emperor, even Guo Jia and Yu Fan did the same. Liu Xi raised his hand and said : "Sirs, sit down!", everyone sat down immediately, under the shocking eyes of everyone, Guo Jia patted his buttocks, and sat down directly, sitting where he was.

Yu Fan's eyes widened.

Before Liu Xi could speak, Man Chong was furious and roared: "Come on! Put this lunatic back to the dungeon for me!"

Guo Jia raised his head and said angrily: "Your Majesty told me to sit down, why did you lock me up?!"

"A person who has been convicted dares to be called a king?"

"Vicious and cruel official, you dare to call yourself king, why don't I?!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Liu Xi said helplessly: "That's all! No need to quarrel!" The two stopped. Guo Jia snorted coldly, looked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is Do you want to let the minister go?"

"That depends on how you regret it. Will you still give up in the future?" Liu Xi asked seriously.

Guo Jia shook his head hastily, he has been unrestrained all his life, he prefers to be free, he hates wasting his time, in Tingwei, he was imprisoned for so long, he can't do anything, he can only read Qianfu Lun all day long, even though he is so I may be a little sorry for Shijun, but ah, now he feels sick when he reads Qianfu theory. He has read this book dozens of times, plus what he read before, alas, Guo Jia doesn’t know how to speak. .

Seeing Guo Jia's cute appearance, Liu Xi smiled knowingly.

"Well, I believe that Mr. Guo will never do anything that goes against his word. So, will Mr. Guo still drink?"

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Your Majesty, it is not illegal for him to drink alcohol, and it is illegal to drink it. I just refuse to accept it, but why is drinking alcohol not allowed?"

Liu Xi thought for a moment, then looked at Man Chong, and said, "In your new law, add a rule that drinking alcohol is illegal. In addition, officials and business people are not allowed to drink alcohol!"

Man Chong nodded.

Guo Jia was stunned, how could he act like this? ?

"Okay, it's illegal now, Mr. Guo, do you still drink alcohol?" the emperor asked again.

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "I won't drink any more."

"Let go!"

With the order of the emperor, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and untied the shackles. Guo Jia moved his body, then looked at Yu Fan who was on the side, and said, "Your Majesty, this person doesn't bother Your Majesty, why don't you leave it to me?" Let's do it." Upon hearing this, Liu Xi looked at Yu Fan, stared at him for a moment, and then said: "This person, I'd better hand it over to the Tingwei to judge, and you come with me."

Liu Xi got up, handed over the rest to Man Chong, and left Ting Wei with Guo Jia.

"Guo Jun, don't blame me. I acted like this to keep a great sage for the big man. You are in prison. You may not know that General Gongsun also passed away last month. I look at myself I am so close to him, and the ministers I depended on are leaving one by one. I feel unspeakable grief in my heart. I don’t want to shed tears because of Guo Jun’s death one day. I have shed enough tears. "

"I understand, Your Majesty, people are mortal, so there is no need to grieve or remember. One day, those who parted will meet again."

"Oh? I thought Guo Jun never believed in this?"

"I really don't believe it. This is just a way to comfort Your Majesty."

"Oh."

The two walked towards Houde Hall, followed by some embroidered clothes, Guo Jia followed behind the emperor, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Of course it is done."

Guo Jia said angrily, "Why don't you wait for me?"

"Because you are obedient."

Guo Jia couldn't refute it, but he was a little unhappy. That's right, Xun Yu was not the first person to know about the restructuring from Guo Jia. The first person to know about it was the Son of Heaven. Two years ago, Guo Jia once told the emperor about all his plans, and Liu Xi paid special attention to it after hearing about it. In the end, he decided to implement it formally.

for successful innovation.

In the past two years, Liu Xi used various methods, even using unreliable excuses to severely injure San Gong and remove their supporters. Such an inexplicable change made many people mistakenly think that it was the establishment of the emperor. Wei, but did not think of the intention behind it.

The Son of Heaven wanted Sangong to cut himself off from the group of officials. If he wanted to change the system, the biggest resistance must be Sangong. Therefore, he needed to attack Sangong's prestige and make Sangong lose his supporters in the temple. The emperor did it, and he did it seamlessly. No one could see his real plan, except Guo Jia. When Guo Jia played the performance, the emperor was half happy and half worried, but in the end he didn't accept it.

Guo Jia was still very depressed at the time, and could only drink and have fun every day.

However, he still found some clues.

For example, the emperor inexplicably showed his power to Sangong.

The emperor suddenly called Cao Cao who was far away in Jingzhou.

The emperor accepted Liu Bei's big strategy and arranged his confidant ministers in various places.

The emperor secretly kept in touch with the generals of the northern and southern armies.

The emperor set up a mansion to report to the mansion to publicize major policies.

The emperor instigated the conflict between the three princes.

Di Baofu used ridicule to attack the prestige of the Sangong and the officials.

Guo Jia immediately understood that the Son of Heaven accepted his policy. However, the Son of Heaven was not like Emperor Xiaoxian. Emperor Xiaoxian couldn't bear it. As for Emperor Xiaokang, although his temperament is more stable, he also has a lot of energy. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, he has to arrange things in the fastest time and then implement them.

Only this Son of Heaven, his patience is scary.

He is very cautious, it can be said that he is a bit too cautious, and it is scary to be cautious. He can plan for three, four, or even ten years to make one thing perfect and lonely. You never know. In a word, what kind of effect will a seemingly unintentional action play in the future? His eyes never stare at his feet. He always looks at people in the distance.

Everything is his pawn, arranged by him step by step, and finally walks on the path he wants.

A series of seemingly unrelated things finally made the restructuring very smooth, and there was not even a decent opponent.

It was Guo Jia who proposed, Xun Yu who was perfect, Zhuge Liang who did things, and Lu Bu and Zhang Fei who assisted, but the person behind the scenes who controlled everything and watched them silently was the terrifying emperor in front of him.

"His Majesty?"

"kindness?"

"You locked Yu Fan today, definitely not to vent your anger, right? He has other arrangements? Five years later? Ten years later?"

Liu Xi suddenly laughed, very gentle and handsome.

Guo Jia, however, felt a chill run down his back and his hair stood on end.
