Lord Yuan

Chapter 40 Guo Tu
This house is not very big and looks no different from an ordinary house from the outside.

But when I actually walked inside, I discovered what was inside.

Jing Gu was also stunned, probably because he had never seen such a spacious house in his hometown of Zitong.

"Brother Benchu, the Guo family has great achievements. Even Guo Gongze's mansion is so grand. I really don't know how a top family like them developed to this extent." Jing Gu became more and more emotional.

Jing Gu's father, Jing Yi, also served as a censor of the imperial court, and could directly impeach officials in the court with the power given by the emperor.

Jing Yi didn't understand the ways of the world. He only knew how to purge the court of those who were corrupt and perverted the law, thus offending many people at the same time.

When the party prison disaster breaks out, there is no doubt that what the eunuchs need to deal with most are the party members who fight against them, and the rest are the censors who have the ability to impeach court officials.

Jing Yi was dismissed.

As for a well-known family like the Guo family, they would not easily be involved in any devastating blow. Taking advantage of the fire was not within their scope of consideration.

And when the family is really involved, they will also use various means and use the pressure of public opinion to force their opponents not to kill them all. In addition, the Guo family itself has three senior officials in the hall. If they cannot deal with the three males, they want to It is not easy to eliminate the Guo family.

The same goes for the Yuan family, and the Yuan family will never completely put its treasure on any party. Yuan Wei, who is good at playing both sides, controls the situation very accurately, so that when other aristocratic families often suffer heavy losses in the disasters of the party, the Yuan family is obedient. Climbing up on an invisible and unknown vine.

Hearing Jing Gu's emotion, Yuan Shao remained silent.

Many of these famous families are involved in family interests. Even if they become high-ranking officials in the court, they still have to seek benefits for the family from time to time.

And once the high-ranking officials want to develop, the people below will naturally provide them with all the things they need, so there is no need to worry about the development of the family.

These aristocratic families have the ability to change the situation on the battlefield. Eunuchs and scholars all need to do their best to win over any side in this war until the final victory.

"Shaonai is a student of Master Li, and he absolutely looks down on such superficial fame. If you don't have real talent and learning, no matter how prominent your family background is, when the world talks about it, they will often remember your family background and criticize your lack of virtue. "

"Since I have studied under Master Li, I will naturally do my best to cultivate myself. If you hadn't brought me here today, Shao would never have come to a place like this."

Yuan Shao was walking behind, but his voice was surprisingly loud. Even though the noisy noise of people gradually began to emerge in the inner hall, Jing Gu could still clearly hear some dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's words.

He didn't know what the reason was for Yuan Shao. When he mentioned the Guo family, it was like a pot exploding. Fortunately, he discovered the reason in time and didn't mention the Guo family again. Yuan Shao's performance also confirmed his idea.

So he never mentioned Guo and walked straight inside.

"If you are not generous to the public today, how can we get together for a while? Why don't we have a cup of wine to honor the public." Someone suggested, which immediately aroused cheers from everyone present.

Jing Gu walked faster, and in a blink of an eye he had two wine glasses in his hands. They were filled with wine at some point, and he ran towards Yuan Shao happily.

"Shao is not good at drinking." Yuan Shao's face was extremely sincere. Facing Jing Gu's kindness along the way, he wanted to accept it.

However, he has an extreme allergic disorder to wine. Anything with a little bit of wine mixed in will make him miserable.

So even though Jing Gu was smiling all over his face and trotting along for fear of spilling the wine in his glass, Yuan Shao could only smile and awkwardly said that he couldn't drink.Jing Gu's face froze, and when he looked at Yuan Shao's extremely apologetic look, he could only drink the two glasses of wine he finally got with a wry smile.

"Ben Chu, you are not a man to be so afraid of alcohol." Jing Gu put away the depression in his heart and pretended to joke.

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of apologies: "Brother Gu is in a very good mood. Shao is really sorry. When today's matter is over, I can put in a good word for you in front of Master Li."

Jing Gu, who was pretending to be relaxed just now, but in fact was full of melancholy in his heart, heard this, and instantly felt that this person was not in vain. Fortunately, Jing Gu was so beautiful, and after a little excitement, he regained his composure.

"Then thank you so much, brother Benchu. If Master Li can help me, I won't have to travel all over the country to make friends with these seemingly aristocratic young men."

Yuan Shao nodded, already treating Jing Gu as a friend in his heart. His previous actions had already made it clear how he treated his friends.

If Master Li is unwilling, Yuan Shao plans to use his own advantages, such as the resources of the Yuan family, or the help of Cao Cao and Xu You.

Looking at this situation, Jing Gu wanted to climb up the ladder, but his family was in decline, and his family background could not give him the slightest help. So he tried his best to get to know many aristocratic families, hoping to get their help.

Entering the venue, the sudden arrival of the two people naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

The gathering place takes on a circular pattern.

The remaining seats are arranged one after another.

Yuan Shao discovered it clearly.

At this time, Guo Tu, who was in high spirits and dictating the world, was sitting in the middle position, looking straight towards this side with a slightly doubtful look.

Guo Tu was at the height of his reputation at this time, and he had the Guo family backing him. In addition, Guo Tu himself did have real talents and profound knowledge. So far, he has not yet shown his short-sightedness and only pursues the small gains in front of him. , naturally he was held up to the altar by everyone, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while.

Being used to this feeling of being surrounded by people, Guo Tu felt extremely comfortable.

If his father had not only allowed him to focus on his studies and not waste too much time in the officialdom, I am afraid that he would have entered the Luoyang Court now, and Yuan Ji would not be able to dominate the younger generation.

I don't know what his father thought, Guo Tu was very puzzled.

"That person is Jing Gu. He has been visiting various aristocratic families these days and has contacted many scholars. I don't know how many of them really want to make friends with him." A man next to Guo Tu saw Jing Gu's figure. , and immediately told Guo Tu all the information he knew.

"As for the tall man next to him, I don't know. Yingchuan has never seen a person like him before."

Guo Tu nodded nonchalantly. In Yingchuan, if the outsider is a dragon, you have to hold it. If the outsider is a tiger, you have to lie down. Except for the Yuan Yang clan who come from famous families, Guo Tu really doesn't Which ones are you afraid of?

In Yingchuan, the Guo family has almost stood in the ranks of the top families. Except for the Xun and Chen families who are too famous, the rest are the Guo family closely following behind.
