Chapter 174 They are all relatives
It is no exaggeration to say that Guo Jia and Zong Ji are mortal enemies. He has killed Zong Ji, and it has been several times. One of them almost took him away.
Besides, Guo Jia is from Yingchuan, so Zhong Ji is still fighting with Yingchuan people at least on the surface.
In normal times, he could also ask Xun You to be the one who talked about his relationship with the two.
But the problem is that he had just removed Xun You from his position as Shangshu. Although he was actually playing a double act with Xun Yu, it was really unreasonable to go to Xun You to find someone among him at this time.
Thinking about it, Guo Jia still couldn't bear to look for Zong Ji. He always felt that this was unreliable, and he didn't know if he got used to it. After leaving Xun's Mansion, he walked to the door of the Grand Sima Mansion.
"Ah, Military Advisor Guo, you are here."
"Well, where is the lord?"
"I'm in the back house, I'm coaxing the prince to play. I'll go and report it."
"It's been a labor."
Not long after, the concierge came back and said, "The lord said you are not an outsider, so I invited you to the back house to meet you."
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes.
As we all know, there are many wives in Cao Cao's back house, and Guo Jia's daily life style is also a little flawed, so... Cao Cao really never let Guo Jia enter his back house.
At this time, Guo Jia was destined to be a Han minister. The two of them had a subtle change from now on when they got along.
As soon as he entered the back garden, Guo Jia was stunned. He saw Cao Cao holding a thick wooden board with two hands, with a small doll wrapped in the silk, and was swaying over there. He shook over, and the baby reached out and grabbed Cao Cao's beard, which made Cao Cao laugh.
Guo Jia has never seen Cao Cao like this before.
"Fengxiao is here, is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing. Come and see your lord."
"Don't call me lord in the future. People go to high places and water flows to low places. After all, my Grand Sima Mansion is a little smaller and cannot show his great talent for filial piety. By the way, the emperor asked you to deal with Lu Bu, right?"
"Yes, what order does Gong Ming have?"
"I didn't give any instructions. I was too lazy to remember the old grievances from back then. Just do whatever you should do, but I heard... he said that he had a general named Qin Yilu. Has he changed with him this time?"
"It should be some."
"Well, I heard that Qin Yilu's wife, Du, is very beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the number one beauty in Xuzhou. She is filial to me... We only have this little hobby, you know."
Guo Jia smiled and agreed, "I understand, I will definitely do this for Gong Ming."
"Well...hahaha, come and look at it, the little prince is so cute, hey, why do I still look like me?"
"This means the prince is kissing you."
"Hahaha, oh, after hugging me for a while, my waist is still a little sore. Old, I'll help the emperor destroy Yuan Shao, and I can enjoy my grandchildren with peace of mind~"
Guo Jia frowned slightly unconsciously and said, "Donald Ming really plans to have fun with his grandchildren after pacifying Yuan Shao?"
Cao Cao said in a pun: "I'm old and I'm just like this in my life. What else can I do toss? I'm just trying to do it for this little guy."
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.
But he suddenly said: "I heard that during the period when the queen was raising her baby, the emperor favored Guo, and the big and small matters in the harem were always in the hands of He. Will these two men be threatened to the queen?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I know my own daughter. He was spoiled by me since he was a child. He was not as good as Guo. To put it bluntly, he was a man of a kindness. No matter how beautiful he was, he was, and there was nothing. Guo and the other two would have others to compete for favor. Don't do extra things. The emperor is a wise ruler and puts the country first. No matter how virtuous and beautiful other women are, they are just a plaything. No one can shake her position."
"yes."
After saying this, Guo Jia knew it.
So after returning home, he hurriedly searched for treasures that he had collected for many years, picked a box of rouge powder, a night pearl, two hollow carved hairpins, and a sandalwood floating step bed. He ordered people to send it to Meiren Guo who was deep in the palace, and tactfully expressed that as his distant cousin, he missed her quite a bit, and hoped to meet her if he had the chance.
Who knows what it is good to miss between these two brothers and sisters who have never even met each other, but soon Guo Jia received a letter from Queen Guo, saying that she had actually wanted to talk to Guo Jia for a long time.
Given the fact that the palace has no wall at present, it is too simple to meet by chance. The guards are all fellow Yingchuan, and Guo Jia can come in and drink by just finding an acquaintance.
Anyway, two days later, after the two met unexpectedly, one was called brother and the other was called sister. They were all extremely friendly. Those who didn't know would think that these two were mothers.
"Brother is worried about state affairs recently? I think your face doesn't seem to be very good. My brother has little experience and lacks knowledge. He still needs his brother to help him in this position in Xu Duling. Oh, by the way, a little bit of things that Your Majesty rewarded me a few days ago. He said this is called tea. Boiling water to refresh his mind and refresh his mind. It is also of great benefit to the body. I can't use it. I will send someone to my brother's mansion."
"My sister is willing, so I'll accept it without hesitation. In fact, it's nothing. It's just a little thing that happened in Xuzhou. The emperor's uncle and the general of Zhendong have always been in disagreement. This time, they met in war. The emperor's uncle captured the general of Zhendong and sent it to the capital. After all, he was the important general of the court."
"Does your brother neither want to offend General Zhendong nor the emperor's uncle?"
"I am not afraid of offending either of them. I just... I don't understand why the emperor gave the case to me for trial?"
Meiren Guo pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that my brother is worried about this, but my little sister may be able to guess one or two."
"Oh? Please help me solve my doubts."
"In fact, the emperor has always admired his brother's talent and knowledge. He once inadvertently said that there are Guo Jianan and Zhuge in the north. Do you think you are the unparalleled wise man in the world?"
"Well? The emperor has such a high opinion of me? Zhuge? Who is Zhuge?"
"I don't know this. He once told me that as a top strategist in the world, it was too useless to be just one Xu. This made my brother become the magistrate of Xu. He also told me specifically that our family is really relatives, so we should support each other."
"Oh? So the emperor is planning to reuse me? This... he doesn't want me to be the lieutenant." (equivalent to the president of the Supreme Court)
"The position of the Tingwei is just vacant, so why not? But I think the emperor has been reluctant to make it clear that he should have some concerns about his brother, or even fearful."
Guo Jia was also the one who could tell the truth: "It's because... the school office."
"My sister is just a woman, so I don't understand."
