Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 787 Situ Qiangu
Nine years of Yankang
In February, Huanglong appeared in Peiguojing

This year is indeed an unusual year. Whether the reform is really that practical or not will give an answer this year. Many people still think that the reform has a certain effect, especially Guo Jia. After all, in the temple With a lot of talents, there are a lot less fools. When I am reviewing the memorial, I can feel this most. No one will talk nonsense and make him headache.

Among the three orders, Guo Jia may be the most respected by the officials. This is different from the beginning. At first, everyone thought that Shang Shuling would become a giant in the temple, and he simply took over all the powers of the three officials. However, However, after the implementation of the new system for a period of time, everyone had a new view, and the Minister did not try his best to interfere with the implementation of the policies of the mansions under his command.

All he can do is to serve as the link between the emperor and the various houses, and to urge the officials to control the overall situation. The Shizhongling is different. The Shizhongling can watch the performances of the officials and review the proposals of the officials. He even controls the Yushi Mansion, has the power to monitor and arrest the officials, and the office of the Shizhongling is in 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 to be given by the order of the servant.

Being able to accompany the emperor is already a huge enough power, plus other things, all the officials are naturally in awe of him, and no one dares to offend him. If he offends the order of servants, he can It is not even necessary to play the emperor directly, just give the emperor a word. In addition, he can also send Yushitai and embroidered clothes envoys.

That's right, as the embroidered emissary of the emperor's own army, he must also obey the order of the servant. Of course, the embroidered emissary still obeys the emperor's orders, but the task of arresting must be issued by the servant. Embroidered clothes.

After learning about these things, Guo Jia's life is quite moist.

Being by the emperor's side all day long, Guo Jia didn't feel that sense of restraint. Generally speaking, the emperor would not restrict him. Even in a place like the palace, he could go in and out freely, but he couldn't drink alcohol. , venting the anger of not being able to drink to the officials every day, this feeling is very good, either dealing with the memorial, or taking care of the tiger, 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 the coat that wrapped her body.

It's already February, but it's still quite cold outside. For some reason, the weather is getting colder every year. It's also a bit easier in hot summer. Guo Jia, who has been weak since childhood, is extremely disgusted. In this cold, Guo Jia walked towards his carriage, and the guards at the gate of the palace bowed to him one after another. Guo Jia just nodded and rushed straight to the carriage.

Walking to the side of the carriage, the groom's expression was a little pale, he hesitated to speak, Guo Jia glanced at him and said, "Wear thicker next time!" Just as he got into the carriage and entered the carriage, Guo Jia was suddenly frightened After jumping, 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 sense of fear in his heart.

If anyone in Luoyang can make Guo Jia so terrified, there is no doubt that it is our Cao Situ. Except for Cao Situ, Guo Jia has never put others in his eyes, but Cao Situ is different. I still remember that Cao Situ went crazy and issued various decrees back then. Of course, those decrees were good. Huge effect.

It can be said that Cao Situ is definitely the one who has made the most contribution of all Situ in the big man recently after Wang Fu.

But the problem is, these decrees are all completed by Guo Jia! !
From then on, Guo Jia felt disgusted, hated, and feared this Cao Situ in his heart, and it developed to the end, becoming a shadow, an unforgettable shadow, 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 the order of servants, and he only has an empty title of Sangong.

"Mr. Cao?"

"Long time no see, are you still healthy?"

Guo Jia bowed his hands and bowed. Cao Cao smiled back and said, "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 me unable to walk. I want to come to find Feng Xiao, but I have been on the sick bed all this time, and I feel better today, so I come here."

"Then Situ still needs to take care of his health. It's freezing cold, so don't go out, go back and have a good rest..." Guo Jia said seriously, Cao Cao looked at him, sighed and said: "Look Come on, how estranged Feng Xiao is to 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, what's the matter, I'll talk about it then, how about it?"

"You misunderstood, Feng Xiao, I know, originally, I did make you tired, it was all my fault, I came here this time, just to invite you to my home, to have a chat with me It's just a meeting, I also want to apologize to Feng Xiao for what happened before."

"What did Situ say? There's no need for an apology. I understand Mr. Situ. Mr. Situ, you'd better go back and rest earlier."

"Oh, well, well, it seems that Feng Xiao doesn't want to greet me anymore, so I'll go back. My body is getting weaker and weaker, and my headaches don't go away. I don't know if I will be with Feng Xiao in the future. It's time for Xiao to talk, take care, and I will leave." Cao Cao said, lifted the curtain with his thin hands, got out of the carriage slowly, and walked towards his carriage, the groom came quickly, support him.

Sitting in the carriage, Guo Jia was silent for a long time, looking at the thin and stooped figure.

"Guo Lingjun? Do you want to go back home?"

Guo Jia's groom asked in front.

"Forget it, come to Situ Mansion to pick me up later." Guo Jia said, quickly got out of the car, and shouted at Cao Cao who was not far away: "Mr. Situ! Wait for me for a while!!"

Situ Mansion.

In the study, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were sitting facing each other, eating happily. Guo Jia ate fast, but Cao Cao ate a little slowly, his hands were still trembling slightly, Guo Jia didn't say anything, and Just slowing down his speed and eating as slowly as possible, Cao Cao chatted with him.

"I don't even want to stay in the mansion anymore. It's meaningless to be alone all day. I want to eat porridge, but I can't walk anymore."

"Situ Gong, where are your children? Are they not in the mansion?"

"They have grown up and have their own home. I can't let them all stay by my side! By the way, Dalang has a child, and I will be a baby, but it's cold, and they can't keep them Send the child here. Hahaha, I will be a yaye." Cao Cao said happily.

Guo Jia discovered that Situ Gong was indeed old.

When narrating, there is no longer the cleverness, talkativeness, and humor of the past. Some are just an old man who has grown old. After just one winter, this old man has officially become an old man, repeating what he said just now. He seems to be a little forgetful, even a little confused, he can't distinguish the year and the year, he has even forgotten when he was an official, and when various government orders were promulgated.

Only those few children, he still remembered very clearly.

Speaking of children, he can still tell in detail where they are and what they are doing, especially for the eldest grandson whom he has never met, he never forgets, and his words are full of love.

"If I can see my eldest grandson, I will die without regret."

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, even the most intelligent person in the world can't resist this power, gradually becoming dull, Become stupid, emotional fluctuations are also great.

When Cao Cao was eating with his head down, Guo Jia looked around for a while, looked at the wall and the copybook in the distance, and he already understood in his heart why Cao Cao invited him here. There was a map on the wall, although The cloth was hung to cover it up, but Guo Jia still clearly understood the exposed part, which was the water transportation map of the great man, the copybooks 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, because he was afraid that he would run away early, so he brought him here so that he could help him in formulating matters related to the canal. In a short while, Guo Jia figured out all the thoughts in Cao Situ's mind.

To be honest, Guo Jia really wanted to wave his sleeves away angrily, so that Cao Cao would not have the opportunity to speak, deceive himself, and drive himself.

However, facing this deception 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 dazed and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered, stood up with a smile, and said, "Feng Xiao, I'm done eating too." Get up, these days, I am really busy, I am busy making plans for the canal every day, you see." Cao Cao stood up, walked to the wall, and lifted the cloth, and sure enough, it was a water transportation map.

"Feng Xiao, look, there are various water systems all over the Central Plains. I don't know how to make the canal play the biggest role?"

"If Yizhou can be connected with Jingzhou, Jingzhou can be connected with Henan and Yanzhou, and then Qingxu can be connected, and Qingwaihai can be connected with Youyang, how to 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 horror: "Cao Situ! I still have some things at home!"

"Hey, I've already reached the curfew. Hahaha, you are Zhongshu Ling, and you can't go out. It's best to show me this map. There are relevant information there. Tonight, the canal I'll let you go after I figure out the rough design!"

"I am the order of the servant, not the order of the secretary. 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 follow, I'll tell Man Chong that you're drinking in my mansion."

"you!!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, looking helpless, and finally, he came to the wall helplessly. In fact, the design of this water transportation map was not difficult, but Cao Situ was now powerless.

Looking at Cao Cao's secretly happy, proud and proud face.

Guo Jia smiled quietly.

Mr. Situ, I was tricked by you again.
