The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 46
Before I could say hello to Diao Chan, Xun Yu came to Guo Jia in a hurry and said in a low voice, "Lieutenant Jian Shuojian, who is in charge of the Imperial Army, entered the mansion through the back door and is waiting in the study now." Fengxiao."

Jian Shuo?

It is not clear what the purpose of this person is, but Guo Jia knows that he will not be rewarded for his merits, and it is impossible for Diao Chan, who is so shameless, to fall into his arms from the sky.

Following Xun Yu to the study in the mansion, the servants had already been ordered not to come within [-] steps of the study. After leading Guo Jia to the study, Xun Yu left.

Jian Shuo was tall and mighty, and looked like a powerful and powerful general. It was not unreasonable for him to be in charge of the imperial army, and he was the captain of the upper army among the eight captains of Xiyuan.

After seeing Guo Jia, Jian Shuo bowed his head slightly and said, "Mr. Guo, today's secret meeting in the study is because my little master wants to meet you."

Jian Shuo moved out of the way, and a person appeared behind him, a seven-year-old boy with an extraordinary look, dressed in brocade robes and sleeves, exuding an aura of nobility.

"Hehe, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince Xie." Guo Jia saluted without any expression of respect or fear.

This made the Prince Xie both admire and secretly annoyed: this person's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and he revealed Gu's identity when they first met, but he didn't look in awe, which shows that he doesn't take Gu in his eyes.

The Prince's Association took out the decree to pardon Guo Jia, without reading it, and handed it directly to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia took it without looking at it, put it on the low table in the study, and then stared at the Prince's Association with a smile that made people feel refreshed.

The Prince Xie looked up at Guo Jia for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said softly: "Guo Jia, I can arrange an official position for you, are you willing?"

"I don't want to."

Guo Jia refused straight away. When he saw the Prince's Association at first sight, he knew what the other party was up to. Although the young prince's ability and skills are really admirable, but the big man is about to be overthrown, and he is still delusional at this moment. With Fu Han Zhongxing, Guo Jia can build a good coffin for himself in advance.

The Prince Xie turned his back to Guo Jia, clenched his small white hands tightly, as if trying to suppress his anger, but he still said calmly: "So, after Gu opens the mansion, are you willing to be Gu's staff?"

Although he would definitely not agree in his heart, and would not do this, but in terms of face, Guo Jia still wanted to give it to the other party, a majestic prince, who was rejected again and again, and the mud bodhisattva was very angry, not to mention how It is a pardon and a gift of beauty.

"If that day comes, Jia would like to serve His Highness."

"it is good!"

After all, the Prince Xie is a child at heart and doesn't think carefully. He thinks that Guo Jia is unwilling to become an official in the court, but he only wants to advise him alone. Chen, but he never noticed the premise in Guo Jia's words: If that day comes.

Will that day come?A year later, Emperor Han Ling died, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the Prince Xie ascended to the throne directly, but he was just a puppet.

Walking quickly to Guo Jia, the Prince Xie showed joy, held Guo Jia's hand and said, "Being filial and helping the lonely, why be afraid of the world!"

This can praise Guo Jia enough, but if you want to win people's hearts by saying a few high-sounding words of praise, then it is really whimsical.

The prince's association suddenly looked up at Guo Jia solemnly and said: "I don't want to hide it, Feng Xiao, my father has been ill for a long time, and I haven't established a prince for a long time, because my father wants to abolish the elders and establish the young, but there are many obstacles, Feng Xiao, what is your plan?" Can it help the orphan remove obstacles?"

It is not a secret that Emperor Han Ling wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones. Chaowen Wu has already heard about it, but Emperor Han Ling did not bring it up, and the ministers could not go to advise. Disaster caused Xiao Qiang.

Therefore, the Prince Association did not shy away from saying so blatantly that Emperor Ling of Han wanted to make him the crown prince.

Guo Jia withdrew his hand from the prince's hand, and said flatly: "His Royal Highness, listen to Jia's words, the prince and Your Highness, whoever ascends to the throne of God first will die first."

The Prince Xie turned pale with shock, but Jian Shuo, who had kept his eyes closed all the time, suddenly opened his eyes and cast his eyes sharply at Guo Jia.

"This, this, I would like to hear more about it." After panicking, the Prince Xie quickly calmed down.

Guo Jia turned around, shook his head with a smile, and said, "The snipe and the clam fight each other for the fisherman's profit, and when two tigers fight, one will be injured. Your Highness might as well wait and see what happens. Jia Ke asserts that His Highness will definitely sit on the throne of God."

The Prince Xie secretly glanced at Jian Shuo, thinking to himself: Two tigers?Ten servants and the general!

If Gu Ruo ascended to the throne first, the generals would inevitably attack, and even forcing the palace by force was not impossible.

If the emperor ascends the throne first, Mr. Jian and the others will not sit still, they will definitely fight to the death, and no matter who ascends the throne first, the other side will make a desperate counterattack.

However, the first to ascend to the throne must be sitting on pins and needles. There is nothing wrong with that. Not only are they constrained by all parties, but their lives are also in danger.

Guo Jia is a genius, not in vain!

The Prince Xie sighed calmly: "Feng Xiao's single words broke the crisis situation in the future, and a few words made Gu Gu see the current situation clearly. Feng Xiao, in your opinion, what should I do alone?"

Guo Jia turned around and looked down at the Prince's Association, and said indifferently: "Be filial, sit and watch success or failure."

The prince Xie was shocked, as if enlightened, and bowed deeply to Guo Jia.

Although the establishment of the crown prince is a state matter, it also shows that the current emperor will return to heaven, and the new emperor ascends to the top, which means that the previous emperor will be buried in heaven. Instead of being ecstatic, if you do this, you can accumulate fame, whether it is superficial skills or true feelings.

It is better to just sit and watch the success or failure, the prince ascends the throne, the eunuch party counterattacks, wins, the general's relatives and one party lose their power, and the prince's association can seize the throne.In defeat, the eunuchs will die without a place to bury them, and the prince will help himself to protect himself, allowing the two tigers to fight each other, sit and watch the success or failure, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

There is a saying that goes well: sometimes you must have something in your life, but there is no time in your life, don't force it.

The throne is the destiny of destiny, and going against the trend is the way of self-destruction.

"Thank you in advance for Fengxiao's point. Today I will go back to the palace temporarily. I will come to ask Fengxiao for advice when I have time in the future."

The prince Xie and Jian Shuo came in under cover, and left cautiously.

Guo Jia hoped that he would never come again, he didn't want to have anything to do with the prince, a subjugated king, if possible, try not to see him.

On the way back to the palace, Jian Shuo whispered to the prince Xie, and Jian Shuo suggested: "Guo Jia has a close relationship with the Xun family in Yingchuan, but now the Xun family is isolated and weak in the court. It can make the Xun family loyal, and secondly, it can hint at His Royal Highness Guo Jia's heart of reuse."

The Prince Xie closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said good, but frowned and said: "But isn't Xun You, a member of the Xun family, serving in the general's shogunate?"

But Jian Shuo said: "There are many children in a large family, and each is the master. It is helpless. This is the way of survival for the continuation of the family. Guo Jia's friend Xun Yu, a famous scholar He Yong once praised his Wang Zuo's talent, but now Xun Yu is still alive. No filial piety."

The Prince's Association made a decision: "Then Gu will arrange for Xun Yu to become an official and let him serve as the guard of the palace. It is also convenient for Gu to see how talented he is. If it is worthy of the name, Gu will entrust him with important tasks."

……

Sending off the prince Xie and Jian Shuo, Guo Jia sat in the study and looked at the pardon order, while Xun Yu stepped into the study with a look of hesitation.

Seeing him, Guo Jia asked with a smile, "Isn't Wen Ruo worried that I will help the prince fight for the throne? Worried that Xiao Qiang will be troubled?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly, nodded and sighed: "As Feng Xiao said, I am afraid that Feng Xiao will participate in the battle for the succession. The emperor is sick and the crown prince is not established. This is an ominous sign. Feng Xiao, how do you reply? of?"

Guo Jia threw down the pardon in his hand, shrugged and said innocently: "Why did Wen Ruo insist that the Prince's Association is here to recruit me? Maybe he is a child, but he just wants to see what kind of cruel Guo Jia is rumored to kill people." of."

Xun Yu sighed: "I have been in Luoyang for several years, and I was lucky enough to meet the two princes. The prince is old but willful and reckless. The young son must be the Prince Association, and he condescends to come in person, he must have a plan, and if you want to see Fengxiao by name, I know that the Prince Association wants to recruit staff and plan to seize the heir apparent."

Wang Zuozhi's talent, Xun Wenruo, if he can't see this kind of knowledge, then he will call Wang Zuozhi's talent in vain.Guo Jia walked up to Xun Yu with a playful face, grinned and said, "Wen Ruo, then guess how I replied to the Prince's Association?"

Seeing that he was still in the mood for joking, Xun Yu pointed at Guo Jia and scolded, dumbfounded: "Guo Fengxiao, can you be more serious, the prince seized the heir, brought disaster to Xiao Qiang, and took the way of chaos. Why are you so unrestrained?"

Guo Jia pulled Xun Yu's recently grown beard, and said with a light smile, "I only sent eight words to the Prince's Association: Be filial and watch success or failure. Whether you can sit on the throne depends on God's will. The two princes I'm not interested in participating in the fight for the throne, but well, the prince has wooed me with great courtesy, tell me, will he abduct Wen Ruo to work for him by the way?"

Xun Yu was taken aback, looking at Guo Jia who was rubbing his chin with his hands as if trying to get some beard out, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Guo Jia was also taken aback, and asked incredulously: "Do you think Wang Zuozhi is someone who can be called by anyone? If I expected it to be true, within a few days, the Prince's Association will help you become an official, and it will be transferred to a place away from him. In the next few days, I will test you a few times, and if he is satisfied, I will use it on you again, but, as a prince with no power, no matter how much he can reuse it, I am afraid it will be limited."

After this deduction and analysis, Xun Yu showed a dignified expression. He also figured out the key point. , Guo Jia returned to his heart naturally.

But Xun Yu couldn't be happy. He was loyal to the big man, but he didn't want to get involved in the fight for heir. For him, the emperor's surname was Liu, and the country belonged to Han. Being on the throne is not what he cares about, besides causing trouble to Xiao Qiang and shaking the foundation of the country, Xun Yu really doesn't want to see that scene happen.
