Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

Chapter 103

In the majestic and majestic Chengming Hall, the long line of officials stretched to the end of the line of sight.

This was a nondescript court meeting. The emperor Liu Xie only showed his face before returning to the harem and handing over the court meeting to Cao Cao to preside over it.All civil and military officials remained silent, and those members of the Sikong Mansion who were not supposed to appear at the court meeting spoke enthusiastically.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

Sikong Xicao and Chen Qun were upright officials with great respect for etiquette.He is using pure Luoyang elegant dialect to sue the military commander Guo Jia for his many etiquette improprieties.And the rhetoric is gorgeous and well-organized, obviously it has been prepared long ago.

The water in the court is deep, and countless officials will think over and over again about the trivial matters of sesame and mung beans, and weigh the pros and cons.

However, in today's situation, all the officials and officials are surrounded.Both Chen Qun and Guo Jia are Yingchuan scholars, both are talents recommended by Xun Yu, and they are both highly valued subordinates of Cao Cao. Is this the rhythm of internal strife?

Chen Qun had offended Cao Cao's confidants less than three months after taking office. Was he too upright, or was he confident?Everyone must take it easy in the future, try not to violate discipline, this Xi Cao is a bit aggressive.

The weirdest thing is: Guo Jia's demeanor is composed and peaceful, and his demeanor is as calm as ever. There is even a vague understanding in the eyes he looks at Chen Qun.On the contrary, the corners of Cao Cao's eyes twitched slightly, with a strange look on his face.

Chen Qun: Sure enough, my nature remains unchanged.

Perhaps disrespectful and unlawful behaviors such as wearing clothes indiscriminately, disheveled crowns, etc., are very serious problems for other officials. In Guo Fengxiao's view, even if they are criticized in public, it is irrelevant and not worth laughing at.

Is it really going to ruin Fengxiao's reputation by speaking out in front of all the officials in this deep court hall about the sycophant's deeds?

Chen Qun hesitated. In fact, he didn't want to believe that Guo Jia was the one who fell in love with him.

But Cao Cao ignored three small reports in a row. What could be the reason for such obvious and unreasonable connivance and unusual preferential treatment?

You know, Cao Cao is known for his strictness, and the other subordinates of the Sikong Mansion made mistakes, and they were all punished unceremoniously.

(See "Three Kingdoms · He Kui Biography", He Kui entered the Sikong Mansion earlier than Chen Qun. It is a very serious humiliation for the children of the gentry to take off the shin clothes (pants) after being punished by the stick. He Kui vowed to die , during his tenure as Sikong’s subordinate, he carried poison on his body.)

The key is that Guo Jia himself did not argue.

Others are afraid of Cao Cao and dare not speak out, for fear of getting into trouble.Chen Qun was different, he was clear-headed.Cao Cao asked Chen Qun to serve as Xi Cao's governor because he liked his justice.If you try to shield Guo Jia for personal gain, that would be a disaster.

However, with Guo Jia's willful and unrestrained nature, if he was with someone, it would probably only be because of admiration. Sincerely admiring someone, but in exchange for being ridiculed by vulgarity, it is really wronged.

Chen Qun was tangled, and suddenly felt the cold gaze from his colleagues. He thought it was Xi Zhicai, but soon found out that it was Xun You.Moreover, Xun You was standing in the wrong position. It seemed that he was using the cover of his robe to hold Xun You back and prevent him from going out.

In my impression, the most gentle and refined Xun Yu looked at him indifferently, the light in his eyes gradually faded away, turning into a deep black color.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Yu moved his fingers slightly, and the jade wat in his hand suddenly fell to the floor with a crisp sound.

Everyone's attention was attracted, but Xun You couldn't stop Xun Yu in the end.

Under everyone's gaze, Xun Yu leaned over to pick up the jade wat, stepped out slowly, saluted gracefully, lowered his eyes, and said in a calm voice, "I've lost my manners, please punish me."

Such an abnormal Xun Lingjun!It would be better for the wat board to fall to the ground than to interrupt Chen Qun's long-planned judgment that is about to be exported.

Jia Xu narrowed her eyes: Rumors about Xu Du have been flying all over the sky for a long time, and Feng Xiao laughed it off, but there was only one person who was angry, and that was Kong Wenju (Kong Rong), who spoke ill of Lord Xun Ling.And every time Xun Lingjun was abnormal, it was to protect Fengxiao.However, Minggong's attitude towards Fengxiao is also worth pondering.

Cao Cao was quite surprised. After looking at Xun Yu for a long time, he smiled and said, "It's okay, who hasn't been negligent? You don't need to worry about it."

Guo Jia: It is better to be silent when describing things that are getting darker.Wen Ruo must have guessed what Chang Wen (Chen Qun) was going to say.Obviously didn't do anything, but inexplicably guilty...

Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling Chen Qun to continue the court appeal.

As Xun Yu's little fanboy, Chen Qun suppressed the shock in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say such a nasty accusation of "suspicion of being a sycophant", but said vaguely: "Guo Ji If you fail to drink properly, you will be punished.”

Forget it, teach Guo Jia a lesson and Cao Cao a warning, and you will not be responsible for Xi Cao.

Cao Cao can no longer pretend to be confused and pretend not to hear this kind of public court complaint.Guo Jia doesn't like red tape, and neither does Cao Cao.So he didn't take Chen Qun's long speech seriously at all, but he shouldn't hit a subordinate who is actively doing things.

Cao Cao considered the words: "Changwen can uphold justice, which can be set as a model for all officials. However, Feng Xiao is very human, and cannot be restrained by common sense."

Guo Jia is not an ordinary person, and he cannot be restrained by common sense.

Chen Qun was praised, but he didn't see the slightest joy, and his complexion became more serious.Cao Cao's words are equivalent to openly admitting that there are double standards. There are some things that Guo Jia can do, but other officials cannot.

Guo Jia: I can’t complain, a symbolic fine for one year is fine.Such an obvious protection of shortcomings, is it really not intentional to bring hatred to me?

Someone sneaked a glance at Xun Yu, who was as gentle as jade and looked normal.

Jia Xu: Xu may have discovered some great secret.Guicai and Wang Zuo, prodigal son and state scholar, tsk tsk tsk.

He Kui and He Shulong with poison on his body: Mr. Cao, do you dare not favor Guo Jijiu like this?Can you consider other people's feelings?

The next moment, He Kui was even more frustrated.Cao Cao announced the disbandment of the court, went to the gate of Suzaku, and invited Guo Jia to join the car: "Feng Xiao, come up, I have something to say to you."

Today is the day when the Eldest Prince Cao Ang held the Crown Ceremony. All civil and military officials were invited to watch the ceremony after the court meeting, so everyone went on the same journey.

Chen Qun: Fengxiao, Fengxiao, where have you learned etiquette?Minggong's four-horse luxury car, if you sit on it, it is called trespassing. Even if it is Minggong's courtesy, you have to decline three times before you can accept it.You dared to board the car without saying goodbye once!Well, next time the court sues, there will be one more argument for your death.

The carriage gradually moved away from the palace, and the cries of small vendors gradually came from both sides of the street.I don't know who is baking sesame seed pancakes, it smells delicious.

Cao Cao hesitated: "Chang Wen seems to have misunderstood Feng Xiao."

Guo Jia laughed loudly: "It's okay, my lord, just don't misunderstand me. Jia is a madman in the mountains, and it may cause a second or third court lawsuit. Please bear with me, my lord."

Cao Cao: "Chang Wen is too upright, it's a lonely headache. It's really not good, let Wen Ruo see which county magistrates are vacant, and move him away, out of sight and out of mind." This is a test, and Cao Cao wants to know: Will Guo Jia know? Will he be proud of his favor and take the opportunity to suppress Chen Qun?

Guo Jia closed the folding fan and said solemnly: "Changwen is clear and elegant, and he is proficient in the law. His talent is not inferior to that of Jia. It is not appropriate to neglect famous people."

"Doesn't Fengxiao hate long essays?" Cao Cao wondered.

"Jia and Changwen's quarrel is a personal grievance. It is a state matter to praise the upright ministers who dare to advise, and to open up their opinions. If it is because of Jia's personal likes and dislikes, it is a sin to wrong the virtuous and virtuous?"

The longer we have known each other, the more I can feel that under Guo Jia's unrestrained appearance, there is an indifference hidden away from the world.With all the lords vying for the throne and disputes in the court, the prodigal son watched with cold eyes, as if he was an outsider.

As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang's crown ceremony is particularly eye-catching.After two months of preparation, various items and furnishings were carefully selected.Another three days in advance, I went to the ancestral temple of the Cao family to offer sacrifices. I invited Zheng Xuan to serve as the guest of honor and Xun Yu as the crown of praise.

This was an extremely complicated set of etiquette. Xun Yu changed into a brand new dress in the wing room, went outside the gate of Sikong Mansion, and stood facing east with Zheng Xuan.

The host Cao Cao went out to greet each other, first bowed to Zheng Xuan, the guest of honor, and then bowed to Zan Guan Xun Yu.Both the host and the guest enter the mansion together, from the gate to the main hall, every time they pass a threshold, step, turn, etc., the host, the guest of honor, and the praiser must bow to each other...

Guo Jia was worried that old Mr. Zheng Xuan would not be able to persist. Fortunately, although Zheng Xuangong was out of breath, he was in a good state of mind.

The first time I added the cloth crown, Xun Yu said in a loud voice: "On the auspicious day of Lingyue, I will start to add Yuanfu, abandon Eryou's characters, and follow Er Chengde. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

The familiar scene in front of him immediately plunged Guo Jia into memories.Unexpectedly, his shoulders were slightly heavy, but it was Xi Yan who walked up to him with a wine cup, and put one hand on his shoulder: "Feng Xiao, take a look for me, the fifth seat in the third row from the left, that person Are you staring at me?"

Guo Jia turned around and looked over, there was indeed a young man with outstanding temperament and appearance in the position Xi Zhicai mentioned, with a gloomy expression and blue veins on his forehead, staring straight at Xi Zhicai's back without blinking his eyes He didn't even realize that the wine was spilled on the case.

"Hey, Zhicai, what did you do to him?"

Without looking back, Xi Fan turned his back to the young man and said, "If it's really that old man, I stabbed him with a sword back then, and it was a kindness and revenge. I haven't seen him for many years, and I'm not sure if it's that person. Go ask him what his name is." Name." Although it was an accidental injury, the stabbing was the stabbing, and the love back then may have been completely severed by that sword.

Guo Jia casually called a very popular little official, and pointed out the direction secretly: "The fifth seat in this row, the young man in brocade clothes, what is your name?"

Little official: "Reporting to Guo Jijiu, the son's surname is Liu Mingye, and his style name is Ziyang. He is a relative of the Han family."

Guo Jia: "Thank you."

Suspicious, Xi Yan dragged Guo Jia to find a corner with relatively few people, and said in a low voice, "My old friend was also a relative of the Han family. His surname was Liu Minghua. He was young at the time and had no words..."

The two had a secret chat, and Guo Jia returned to the banquet, picked up the wine glass, and sat down opposite Liu Ye, chatting with him with a smile on his face.

Suddenly a stranger strolled over and sat at the same table, Liu Ye felt uncomfortable all over.
