Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 364 Guo Jia's Covenant
"Yesterday, Mr. Zhongde's family came to visit, and Shijun had an explanation, and we didn't stop him, and it's just like this today." In the prison, Mrs. Cheng knelt in front of Cheng Yu's body in a daze, and the two sons cried. Shockingly, Cheng Yu hanged himself with a belt. Chu Nan had read everyone's heartfelt thoughts and found no problem.

In other words, Cheng Yu really committed suicide!
Chu Nan suppressed the sudden irritability in his heart, came to Mrs. Cheng, sighed and said, "Madam, can you tell me what you said to Mr. Zhong De when you came to visit the prison yesterday?"

Mrs. Cheng didn't answer, but just sat there blankly, Cheng Wu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, we just relayed what you said to Father, and didn't say anything else."

When Chu Nan heard the words, he nodded silently, bowed to Mrs. Cheng, and said, "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Madam, please express my condolences."

Mrs. Cheng still sat there, as if she couldn't hear what he said.

Chu Nan didn't say any more, and left the cell, probably because Cheng Yu saw his intentions, and directly used the way of ending his life to cut off his thoughts and save his family at the same time.

What should I say?Or what else can I say?
If you continue to chase after him, you will be impolite.

"Notify the Ministry of Rites for a generous burial." Chu Nan took a deep breath and ordered Zhou Cang.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites has not yet been determined, but it does not mean that there is no one in the Ministry of Rites. The six government offices are actually in operation now, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites still needs to be officially confirmed by the imperial court.

"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed.

"Can you tell me?" Just as Chu Nan was about to leave, Guo Jia's voice came from deep in the cell.

After a moment of silence, Chu Nan asked someone to open the cell and went straight in.

It was still the same messy cell, Chu Nan sat on the couch and didn't speak, Guo Jia didn't speak, just kept drinking with his head up.

"What's the matter, sir?" After a long time, Chu Nan broke the silence, looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Let's make an agreement." Guo Jia looked at Chu Nan and said, "If you can help Marquis Wen defeat Yuan Shao, I will be released from prison."

"Why?" Chu Nan looked at Guo Jia with a frown, that's not what he said two days ago.

"Being loyal to the lord, Zhong De has already done it. I will replace him with the lord's ambition." Guo Jia sighed and said, "If you lose, Yuan Shao will release me at that time. If you win, I will also let you go." I don’t want to waste my time in this prison.”

"Dare to ask Mr. Cao's ambition..." Chu Nan asked curiously.

"In the early years, he only wanted to be a general who conquered the West. Although he didn't say it later, I know that he wanted to calm down the troubled times and create a prosperous world again!" Guo Jia said with some regret: "It's a pity that my lord will not be able to see that day, I think Help him see that day."

People have different aspirations at different times. In the early years, Cao Cao’s status was not high. If the big man didn’t have such things as Shi Changshi and Dong Zhuo, the limit of Cao Cao’s life might be General Zhengxi, but later he took charge of the government and held the power of the world. , the thinking is naturally different from when I was young.

To pacify the troubled times?
Chu Nan nodded. Most of the princes in troubled times have similar ambitions. As for creating a prosperous world again, there is no need to be serious. When everyone is working hard in a good direction, prosperity will naturally come.

"It's a deal!" Chu Nan looked at Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Zhongde, you don't have to be too sad."

Guo Jia suddenly smiled: "Zhongde seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, the ending is exactly what he wants, why should I be sad?"

Happiness is naturally impossible. When an old friend leaves, suddenly an important friend in his life leaves forever, the pain and loss is inevitable, but there is no need to be overly sad, as he himself said, this result is Cheng Yu's choice , is also what he wishes, for him, it is the best of both worlds.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Seeing that Guo Jia had no intention of speaking, Chu Nan got up and said.

Guo Jia raised his head and took a sip of wine: "No."

Chu Nan turned around and left the prison, the depression in his chest gradually dissipated.

Instead of going to the government office, he went straight back to the mansion. Chu Rong came to tell Zhao Yan that he had been waiting for a long time.

In fact, Chu Nan didn't really want to see the other party at the moment, but it was not easy to shirk what had been promised, so he nodded immediately and brought Zhou Cang to the main hall.

"Meet the envoy!" Seeing Chu Nan, Zhao Yan quickly got up and saluted.

"Mr. Boyan is much older than me, so you don't have to be so formal. Sit down." Chu Nan smiled and sat on the main seat, motioning for Zhao Yan to take his seat.

"Thank you so much, envoy!" Zhao Yan sat down very respectfully, with an air of admiration: "I have heard of the envoy's virtuous name for a long time, but I only regret not having the chance to meet him. It is indeed Yan's luck in this life to be summoned by the envoy today."

With a sincere and senior attitude, he interpreted the emotion of seeing each other and hating each other to the fullest. If it weren't for Chu Nan's ability to read minds, and the ability to sense the resistance and hatred in the other party's heart, maybe he would have believed it.

So, those who can survive in the imperial court, nothing else, but their acting skills are absolutely fine, just like now, Zhao Yan doesn’t talk about his heart, but he obviously hates and hates Chu Nan emotionally, but What he showed was a look of admiration, and he couldn't tell it at all just by looking at his eyes and complexion.

"Oh?" As for the malicious and incompetent person, Chu Nan didn't bother to be polite to him, and smiled: "It's a blessing, how can Boyan thank me?"

Zhao Yan: "..."

Because of his acting skills, he couldn't help showing a bit of anger at this moment. Hearing this was just a polite remark, but the other party actually took it seriously, and with this gesture of giving you face, it is obvious that the other party is not really ignorant Routine, in itself is contemptuous of oneself.

"If the envoy is willing to accept it, Yan is willing to do it for the envoy!" Zhao Yan quickly restrained his emotions. He knew that he had no capital to be angry in front of Chu Nan, and he controlled his anger the moment he lowered his head. It was already a smile of righteous words and a desire for power.

"Okay!" Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction, no matter what he thought in his heart, but this attitude is very good, is this like a gesture of begging for help, nodded and said: "Did Boyan ever know about the Six Departments?"

"Of course I know." Zhao Yan nodded hastily, and the sixth department began to be laid, and many civil and military ministers or celebrities could see that the sixth department was going to take over the rights of Jiuqing and even Sangong. People are criticizing Lu Bu's wolfish ambition. After all, once the Six Parts came out, the original Sangong and Jiuqing became a show, and according to the news from Lu Bu, the status of the Six Parts is also comparable to that of the Jiuqing. accept?

Part of the reason why Zhao Yan visited Chu Nan was to see if he could take this opportunity to dispel the other party's idea, but when Chu Nan opened his mouth, he didn't know what Chu Nan's purpose was, and he didn't dare to make rash comments.

"Among the six departments, besides the six ministers, under each minister, there are left and right servants. I will be in charge of the household department. If Boyan is willing, he can be the left servant of the household department and handle official affairs for me. Would you like to?" Chu Nan looked at Zhao Yan and smiled.

"This..." Zhao Yan was taken aback. He came to persuade Chu Nan to give up the idea of ​​establishing the Six Parts. How is it possible to let him join now?

Instinctively wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After all, this is a good opportunity to get close to Chu Nan and gradually integrate into them. If he refuses, the consequences may be that he will not only be unable to cancel the establishment of the Six Parts, but will also turn against Chu Nan.

"Nowadays in the court, there are three lords and nine lords, all of whom are vegetarians. If you want to do something, it will be difficult to count on these people." Chu Nan sighed and said: "In this case, it is better to start a new stove and recruit people with lofty ideals. Then you can do something practical for the court.”

Zhao Yan wanted to refute, but when he thought about the time he was running around, the higher the court officials, the less they wanted to really do things for the court. Instead, they were running around like clowns.

Inexplicably, there was a bit of resentment towards those so-called respected court lords in my heart, and this resentment was growing rapidly.

"I think Boyan is also a person who cares about the world, so I invite you with sincerity, but I don't know if Boyan is willing to give in?" Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't answer, Chu Nan asked with a smile.

"Thanks to the envoy for not giving up, if the envoy is willing, Yan is willing to share the worries for the envoy!" After thinking about what he wanted, Zhao Yan's face became serious, and he bowed to Chu Nan.

Yu Gong, he wants to break into the Lv Bu Group and try to instigate a split from within. Yu privately, the inaction of the court officials these days has really disappointed him. From this point of view, the establishment of six departments to replace the Sangong and Jiuqing, It's not a bad thing either.

Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction. This kind of person can be controlled with just a few words and a combination of emotional and magical powers. He is really not a powerful person, but his dedication to serve the country is worthy of admiration. He smiled and said: "Okay, Boyan did not disappoint me. However, the establishment of the six ministries still needs to be officially accepted by the imperial court. However, in the court, there has been a lot of criticism for this matter in the past few days. Since Boyan is a councilor, this matter still needs to be moved around more to persuade more people to support the six ministries. .”

Above the court, it is still the world of gentry. What Chu Nan has to do is to get more people in the court to support this matter. Now that a spy has come, in order to win his trust, he must show his ability.

"This..." Zhao Yan was a little confused: "I don't want to be the envoy, but I'm just a mediocre councilor, and people in the court are soft-spoken. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to do this."

"Uncompetent?" Chu Nan turned his head to look at Zhao Yan, his face suddenly turned cold and said: "Bo Yan, the six departments want to recruit are talented people who can do things for the court. If I have to do anything myself , What's the point of recruiting you and others with these six films? Are you cheering for me?"

Zhao Yan's spine felt cold when Chu Nan looked at him, and he said hastily, "Don't worry, I will do my best in this matter!"

Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction. A strong fortress is always the easiest to break through from the inside, and it's the same for the gentry...is it the same?
