Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 29: Aristocratic families are the parasites!
If we look at it from the perspective of a historical bystander, Liu Xie quite likes Liu Bei. After all, he is the only monarch in history who gave up the world for his brothers. His personal charm and character are beyond reproach.

But now he is no longer a bystander, but has jumped into the history books and become a person in the book, becoming Emperor Xian of Han, and what a fake he is.

Then Liu Bei might be a big threat to him.

Because he didn't know whether Liu Bei was truly loyal to the Han Dynasty or was just realizing his own ambitions in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty.

So many people discussed it in later generations, but there was no conclusion.

Liu Xie didn't dare to gamble.

"Your Majesty really has a keen eye."

Guo Jia nodded, approving of Liu Xie's judgment, "Liu Xuande is indeed not an ordinary person. He has the spirit of a wise leader and is a hundred times better than Yuan Shao."

"With such a person, it's no wonder that brave generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are willing to follow him. Although he is down and out now, he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Liu Xie was shocked after hearing this and couldn't help wondering, "How do you know that Liu Bei is so good?"

He knew that Liu Bei was extraordinary because he had read the script and drew conclusions based on history. But how did Guo Jia know that?

It seemed like they met for the first time today.

Guo Jia replied: "I have seen that Liu Xuande has a good appearance and extraordinary bearing. He is calm and composed in front of Your Majesty, knows when to move forward and when to retreat, is not startled by changes, and does not show his joy or anger on his face."

"This kind of person is naturally extraordinary."

After hearing this, Liu Xie fell silent, thinking that he was too shallow.

Because he couldn't see any of that at all.

"This should be the legendary aura of kingly dominance, the destiny buff and luck aura that comes with being the protagonist."

"It's a pity that I don't have this thing, otherwise why would I bother to recruit talents myself? I can just shake my tiger body and it will be done."

Liu Xie was so jealous, it would be great if he had this thing.

Sighing, Liu Xie turned his gaze to Guo Jia again.

"From what you said, it seems that you look down on Yuan Shao. If that's the case, why did you join his army?"

"It seems that you are not valued by him now."

If it was a counselor like Shen Pei or Xu You who always went to the palace, Yuan Shao and Ju Su would have noticed it long ago.

But when Guo Jia came, no one paid any attention to him.

Why? Because he is not important and no one cares.

Just like Zhang He and Gao Lan.

Guo Jia looked calm and said frankly, "Yuan Shao was famous for his campaign against Dong Zhuo. I came here because I admired his reputation."

"But Yuan Shao really disappoints me. He only wants to emulate Zhou Gong's respect for the wise and humble, but he doesn't really know how to employ people. So he has many plans but lacks the key points. He is good at making plans but cannot make decisions."

"From the last time Luoyang was in danger, when Ju Su proposed to welcome Your Majesty to Yecheng but was rejected, it is not difficult to see that Yuan Shao is short-sighted and intolerant, and is definitely not a wise leader."

"I have already planned to leave this place."

Guo Jia expressed his views on Yuan Shao very frankly.

To sum it up in one sentence: This is not a good boss, I am not optimistic about this company, and I plan to sell it.

Liu Xie asked, "Are you planning to defect to Cao Cao?"

In history, after Guo Jia left Yuan Shao, he joined Cao Cao, so he asked this question.

I wonder if Guo Jia will go there now?

"I do have this plan."

Guo Jia did not deny it and nodded, "When I heard that Cao Cao was going to welcome Your Majesty to Xudu, I was ready to leave Yuan Shao and join Cao Cao."

"But I never thought that Your Majesty would escape from Cao Cao and come to Yecheng, so I need to reconsider where to go."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I have a question for you."

"Your Majesty, please ask." "You want to surrender to Cao Cao. Are you going for me or for Cao Cao? Are you a minister of the Han Dynasty, or a minister who wants to follow the emperor?"

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Guo Jia was silent.

Liu Xie sat in the main seat, looking at him sharply, quietly waiting for his answer.

This question is asking about Guo Jia's position.

"Your Majesty, which one do you think I am?"

After a long time, Guo Jia finally spoke, looked up at Liu Xie, his eyes like a deep pool, and threw the question back.

"You ask me?"

Liu Xie smiled, "I think you are neither. In my opinion, you are just a scholar who wants to realize his ambitions."

"You are not loyal to the Han Dynasty, nor to anyone else. You just learned the art of slaying dragons, so you want to find a real dragon to slay, that's all."

"To put it simply, you are a knife, a handy knife, but a knife cannot kill people by itself. It needs the right person to hold it. Even if this person uses this knife to slay the dragon of the Han Dynasty."

"Am I right?"

Liu Xie never stops talking until his words are shocking, and his words are extremely bold.

Guo Jia's pupils shrank slightly and his heart was shocked.

No matter how quick his mind was or how eloquent he was, he was still speechless when faced with Liu Xie's unorthodox words.

"Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"

After hesitating for a long time, Guo Jia asked.

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "Why should I blame you? You just want to realize your ambitions. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, there is no place for you to display your talents. What's wrong with choosing another wise leader?"

"Besides, you come from a poor family and have not received any benefit from the Han Dynasty. Why should I ask you to work hard for the Han Dynasty?

"It is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and their ilk who are the most hateful. They have received the grace of the Han Dynasty for generations, but now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, they have become rebellious! They deserve to die!"

"If I ever regain power, I will definitely purge all these noble families!"

"A bunch of moths!"

Liu Xie snorted coldly, his face full of disgust.

Speaking objectively, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Jia wanting to realize his ambitions. The ones who were wrong were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who came from prominent families.

After all, Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty and could be considered a family member. He had ambitions, but that was acceptable. However, people like Cao Cao were born into noble families and enjoyed privileges and grace from the Han Dynasty, but instead wanted to seize the Han world!

How shameless!
"Your Majesty seems to hate those aristocratic families?"

Hearing these words, Guo Jia was inevitably moved, but at the same time he also had some doubts and couldn't help asking.

Because it is not difficult to see from Liu Xie's words that he is quite displeased with those aristocratic families, even to the point of hatred.

Such disgust made Guo Jia feel a little strange.

Fortunately, his family is no longer considered a noble family, but is now a declining poor family.

"How can I not hate them? The Han Dynasty has come to this point because of these aristocratic families!"

Liu Xie said in a deep voice, his face full of hatred.

"They monopolized the officialdom, cutting off the path to advancement for children from poor families; they controlled the local areas, hoarded food, and lived in extravagance!"

"As the saying goes, rich people feast on wine and meat, while the poor people freeze to death on the streets."

"It is their existence that made it impossible for the people of the world to survive and caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

"They are the culprits behind the downfall of our Han Dynasty!"

Whether from the perspective of the emperor or from a personal perspective, Liu Xie had no good feelings towards these aristocratic families, but hated them from the bottom of his heart.
