The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 157 Enrichment and Power
After Qin Mi finished what she wanted to say, she got up to leave, but Guo Jia left him behind.

There is one thing that Guo Jia has been suppressing and did not deal with it, and it should be settled today, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

"Ziyu, what kind of person do you think is a traitor?"

Qin Mi didn't know what Guo Jia's question meant, and replied: "Arbitrarily doing things without orders, breaking the law for personal gain, wasting the country for the sake of the family, power can win the king."

Guo Jia ordered people to bring some things from his study, and sent people to invite Fazheng, Peng Yi, and Guo Xiu to come.

During this interval, Guo Jia said: "I deeply agree with Ziyu's words. Including Ziyu, the officials of Yizhou Prefecture, I think they are people who are capable of law and wisdom. They have foresight and insight. Strong and straight, you can’t pretend if you are not straight. However, in recent years, officials from all over the country have impeached people in important positions in Yizhou Prefecture. Today, I would like to invite Ziyu to be a bystander. If I mishandle , please remind me from the side.”

Qin Mi didn't even say he didn't dare, but he became suspicious in his heart. Since he was watching from the sidelines, he must not be the one who was impeached. He sat up straight and had no shame, and he was not afraid of being impeached by the officials below.

Yushitai held the power of supervision. Any officials who violated the law in Yizhou could not escape Yushitai's supervision. In addition to political achievements, Yushitai's opinions were also very important for the criteria for the removal and replacement of officials every year.

The servants brought out two low tables from Guo Jia's study room, which were covered with bamboo slips, making them very eye-catching in the hall.

Guo Xiu, Fazheng, and Peng Yi came and stood in the hall. Guo Jia didn't invite them to sit down. After the three of them saluted, Guo Jia pointed to the pile of bamboo slips on the low table in the hall.

"Xiaozhi, Yongnian, you can take a look at what is written on these bamboo slips."

Peng Yi and Fazheng looked at each other, stepped forward to pick up the bamboo slips and began to read.

The more the two of them watched, the cold sweat continued to break out on their heads. After a while, the cold sweat was raining like rain, and their expressions changed drastically.

Each of the bamboo slips contained the content of the impeachment of the two of them, and the signature of the signature was painted on by Guo Jia, but judging from the different handwriting, these bamboo slips were not forged.

"My lord, this, this..."

Fazheng couldn't say a word, and Peng Yi, who was always arrogant, knelt down directly, his hands holding the bamboo slips began to tremble.

Countless officials have impeached the two of them, and the date recorded on the bamboo slips against Peng Yi spans more than two years, and the criticism of Fazheng began a year ago.

What do these bamboo slips represent?Is it because officials from all over the country colluded to eradicate dissidents?Impossible, with so many officials in Yizhou Prefecture, why do they have such big opinions on them?It is true that someone planned behind the scenes to cut off Guo Jia's right-hand man, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, why didn't anyone criticize him?Qin Mi was not impeached either.

"My lord, can I read it?"

Qin Mi and Peng Yi had a good personal relationship, seeing Peng Yi's frightened expression at this time, he also wanted to know what was written on those bamboo slips.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Guo Jia, with a calm face, signaled Qin Mi to take it easy.

Picking up the bamboo slips and looking at them, Qin Mi picked them up and put them down repeatedly, looking at them seriously.

These bamboo slips recorded the dissatisfaction of officials from all over the place with Peng Yi and Fazheng, but Qin Mi, who had been frowning all this time, felt relieved.

Turning around, Qin Mi said to Guo Jia: "My lord, there is no evidence that Peng Yi and Fazheng were convicted, it's just slander and venting of dissatisfaction."

When Fazheng and Peng Yi heard Qin Mi's words, they suddenly realized. After thinking about it carefully, none of the bamboo slips impeaching them was an accusation against them for their crimes, but they still looked at Guo Jia anxiously. It's scary to say that even if the mountains of bamboo slips are groundless, it's hard to say whether Guo Jia will obey the wishes of the public and deal with them.

"Guo Xiu, Fazheng and Peng Yi violated the law?"

Guo Jia asked calmly.

Guo Xiu, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, looked indifferent, and replied: "Peng Yi has been in office for more than two years, and Fa Zheng has been in office for more than a year, and neither of them violated the law. Outrageously."

After Guo Xiu from Yushitai said this, Fazheng and Peng Yi finally had the consciousness of surviving a catastrophe. Guo Xiu, who is in charge of supervision, said that the two of them were not guilty, and that was a conclusion.

At this moment, the two regretted that they were so disliked by their colleagues, and even secretly hostile, it had nothing to do with their political opinions, but their virtues.

Over the past two years, Guo Jia has watched people impeach Peng Yi and later Fazheng, and he knows that he, who adheres to the rule of law, cannot see what crimes Fazheng and Peng Yi have committed.

The virtues of the two are not enough to convince the public, but their talents cannot be denied. The government affairs arranged by Guo Jia can be completed meticulously by both of them. Based on this, Guo Jia cannot just rely on subordinate officials to impeach and punish them for their sins.

People like Fazheng, Zhang Song, etc., in Guo Jia's heart, they are villains!

In history, they betrayed Liu Zhang and welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, which is enough to prove that they are villains!

Liu Zhang treats Zhang Song well. Zhang Song, who is in Yizhou, ranks in the forefront of Yizhou's ranking in terms of power, but Zhang Song thinks that Liu Zhang is not a hero. The reason why they betrayed Liu Zhang!
This is the difference between a gentleman and a villain. If a gentleman agrees, he will stay, and if he does not agree, he will leave. Liu Zhang has nothing to do with them. If the two of them have opinions on Liu Zhang, they can also contribute according to the situation. Liu Zhang treats him as a national scholar, and he will repay him as a national scholar. Rebelling against the master is a despicable act of a villain.

As for whether it was because they helped Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle, that they turned their backs on the dark and turned to the bright, and acted noble.Liu Bei is not a moral standard. If you are not on Liu Bei's side, you are just, and if you are not against Liu Bei, you are evil.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the water is clear, there will be no evil.

It is impossible for Guo Jia to use a gentleman as a villain as a standard for employing people. Talent and morality are not directly related. Fazheng is a villain in Guo Jia's eyes, but Guo Jia still wants to use him because Fazheng has talent.Everyone has different pursuits. Zhang Song wants to assist the hero, and Fazheng wants to display his talents. Guo Jia can give them and satisfy them, so he will try his best to do it. If someone still chooses to betray one day, Guo Jia has nothing to say It is said that at least he is benevolent and righteous, and morally, he must be a righteous person, not an unjust one.

"Fazheng, Peng Yi, get up, you don't need to kneel down. The reason I let you see these bamboo slips is to let you understand that if Yizhou officials can serve the public wholeheartedly and everyone works together, they can get twice the result with half the effort. You have You are talented, but your ability is limited. I am your lord, and I rely on you to govern Yizhou. As officials in important positions in Yizhou, you must do your job well. Promoting filial piety does not mean that I deny virtue. Kindness to others is self-interested kindness."

Guo Jia poured out the bitterness that the local officials had suppressed for two years to the parties today, and it is up to them whether they can wake them up.

Fazheng Peng Yi bowed to Guo Jia with tears in his eyes to show his gratitude.

Public anger is hard to offend. If someone else is the owner, I am afraid that in order to appease the public anger, they will be punished for their crimes. Although from a legal point of view, the attitude of arrogance is not false and does not violate the law.

After the three of them left, Guo Jia looked at Qin Mi and asked, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to do this?"

Qin Mi smiled slightly and said to Guo Jia: "My lord's action can serve as a warning for the two of you, and it doesn't violate the principle of the rule of law set by your lord. Today's kindness will be remembered by the two of you for a lifetime."

Enwei Enwei, not holding a knife can show power, nor can it be rewarded to show kindness.

The matter has been properly dealt with, and just as Qin Mi was sent away, he didn't expect that there would be a lot of things going on today. Zhen Yao came to the hall in a hurry, and said a piece of news he had just received with a solemn expression.

"My lord, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, wanted to reunite with his father and son. He took a hundred cars and property on his way to Xuzhou. Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai to escort him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kai murdered and plundered the property halfway. Cao Song and his party all died. After Tao Qian got the news, he said He ordered people to arrest Zhang Kai, and at the same time sent people to plead guilty to Cao Cao, and Tao Qian’s pleading document to Cao Cao claimed that Zhang Kai was a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party, a chess piece inserted by the lord in Xuzhou, and that the murder of Cao Song was instigated by the lord!"

When Guo Jia heard Cao Song's name, he vaguely guessed what was going on, but he didn't guess the second half of Zhen Yao's words.

It was indeed Guo Jia who ordered Zhang Kai to kill people and plunder money.

But if Zhang Kai didn't admit it himself, how would Tao Qian know about it?
Tao Qian is trying to shirk responsibility by trying to shirk responsibility.

Why did you pour dirty water on Guo Jia?Because Zhang Kai is indeed a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, and Guo Jia’s uprising was based on the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Even if the Taiping Army is changed, it cannot get rid of the fact that it was the Yellow Turbans. Therefore, it is not aimless to associate Zhang Kai with Guo Jia. , Tao Qian and Guo Jia had a feud for killing their son, Tao Qian wanted to frame him, and Guo Jia was his best candidate.

Guo Jia and Tao Qian, who are now Yizhou Mu, are equal in terms of status.

Zhang Kai's killing of Cao Song was essentially a personal grievance, but it could rise to a conquest among princes.

"It's a wrong move."

Guo Jia stood up and turned his back to the bewildered Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao asked: "My lord, why did you say this? Could it be that what Zhang Kai did was indeed ordered by the lord? Can the lord contact Zhang Kai in Yizhou?"

Guo Jia also did not hide his instructions to secretly order Zhang Kai to kill Cao Song today in Xuzhou.

Zhen Yao looked at Guo Jia incredulously, feeling a lot of puzzlement in his heart. Firstly, Cao Cao was unknown at that time, and secondly, how did Guo Jia expect that Cao Song would pass through Xuzhou, but he didn't ask.

"My lord, why did you order Zhang Kai to kill Cao Song?"

This is the crux of the problem, Guo Jia and Cao Song have no grievances and no enmity, even if they were killed by Cao Cao in Luoyang, the matter of Xuzhou came first.

Guo Jia turned around slowly, and said indifferently: "When I left Yingchuan, I planned to serve Cao Cao. Zihe, do you think Cao Cao listened to Tao Qian's excuse after hearing the news, or made other plans? "

Zhen Yao blurted out: "Attack Xuzhou!"

Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed.

Without a high-sounding reason, how can the princes easily start a war?When Zhang Kai was asked to kill Cao Song, Guo Jia’s purpose at the beginning was to give Cao Cao the righteousness to win Xuzhou. He deliberately told Zhang Kai that he was afraid that his own butterfly would disturb the historical track. Of.

Looking at it now, it was really a wrong move at the beginning. Cao Cao is now Guo Jia's enemy, which gave Cao Cao a reason to attack Xuzhou.

But after thinking about it, Guo Jia laughed again. He didn't go to serve Cao Cao, so someone would give Cao Cao a headache for a while.

Lu Bu, the old way let you live, now, it's time to repay me.
