Until the fifth day, it was dawn and Guo Jia didn't fall asleep. He was so stupid that he drank herbal tea in the yard all night. In addition, he was quite weak and was in the middle of winter, so he naturally couldn't get sick.

Half-true and half-fake, he simply stopped going to the job. He looked very weak all day long and asked for medical treatment everywhere, never mentioning serious matters. However, the Legislative Council is now out of him, and several important officials of the court have focused on the slightest matters of Xiahou Dun and Wei Yan. It would be impossible without him.

For a time, Guo Jia's condition inexplicably became the focus of the entire Xudu.

I was sick for three days. On the third night, Guo Jia was thinking about whether to take a cold shower at night to aggravate the condition. He was a little worried that his small body would not be able to bear it, and he would backfire again.

Suddenly, a servant reported: Something big happened.

"It's bad, sir, no, Xiahou, General Xiahou rushed into the prison of the Tingwei, and killed Wei Yan!"

"What? Where is Xiahou Dun now?"

"In the prison of the Tingwei, it is said that it is allowed to be dealt with by the court."

"He... is confused!"

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this. He didn't care about his bones being weak. He quickly put on his clothes and coughed all the way to the Tingwei Prison. His position was the first to get the moon. At this moment, most of the ministers in the court didn't know about this.

In the prison, Xiahou Dun himself was quite calm. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes, and he looked like an old Taoist who had entered a state of concentration. Wei Yan's body was lying blatantly under his feet.

This cell was originally owned by Wei Yan, but after Xiahou Dun killed the man, he took over the nest.

Seeing this, Guo Jia was so angry that his teeth were itchy: "Xiahou Dun, are you crazy? Wei Yan is a dying person. Can't you wait for a few days?"

Xiahou Dun smiled when he heard this, but suddenly took out a small bag from under his butt and opened it. It was filled with beef sauce inside, which made Guo Jia look confused.

"Fengxiao, I brought some wine and food. Look, this is beef. Is there any wine in your Tingwei Mansion?" As he said that, he laughed at Guo Jia with a smile, revealing his big white teeth.

This is just that I can't beat it, otherwise Guo Jia would have wished to go up and round the wheel and beat this old face into a pig's head!

There was no choice but to order someone to bring the wine and pour it on Xiahou Dun, saying, "What is it? You are not such an impulsive person."

"I heard that Yang Biao's mother raised him and found Liu Bei and wanted Wei Yan to transfer to Liu Bei's subordinate. Liu Bei also said that he and Wei Yan were very compatible and would try to save Wei Yan's life. I thought to myself, wouldn't he be unable to die, so I came over and killed him."

Guo Jia became even more angry when he heard this and said, "That's it? Xiahou Dun, are you really crazy? Wei Yan fell into my hands. He acted without authorization and caused the loss of soldiers and generals. Violating military law is a foregone conclusion. How could Liu Bei save him? Even if the emperor wants to release Wei Yan, I must fight for it."

Xiahou Dun laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "I believe this. Then Fengxiao, what are you going to deal with me after killing Wei Yan?"

Guo Jia choked when he heard this, but stopped talking.

"I heard you are sick, and I don't know if you are pretending or really sick, but I know you must be because of me, can your body still drink alcohol?"

Without waiting for Guo Jia to nod, Xiahou Dun had already filled him with the wine.

"I will naturally keep you safe."

"Fengxiao, this is a big talk. Although I, Xiahou Dun, is also a martial artist and I don't know any Confucianism and Legalism, I still have basic brains. The emperor obviously borrowed this charge from me and put you on the fire. In fact, I wanted to find you privately and tell you not to worry about me, but it doesn't seem to work. After all, you are not from Qiao County. If you really deal with me with it, even if Meng De understands you, Qiao Pei's brothers would not. So I think, just kill Wei Yan directly. I'm happy and save you from being embarrassed. Just do what you should do. Fengxiao, for Meng De, you are more important than me."

“…………”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this. After a long time, Xiahou Dun couldn't answer the words. He just gently picked up the wine in front of him and drank a glass of lightly.

"By the way, Fengxiao, I probably won't die."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "You are the one who is about to die. You can be said to be angry at you. He is a false accusation against you and kills people in anger. You are a marquis and a death row prisoner. You will definitely be unable to forgive the crime of living, and you will definitely be able to escape the crime of death."

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine."

"But you definitely can't be the official."

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he not only did not get angry but his eyes lit up: "So, can I still retain my title? This will not cause you any trouble."

Guo Jia was also amused and cried when he heard this, saying, "Since our dynasty, we cannot be awarded titles without military merit. The emperor is the monarch of the Legal family, who retired and advanced to warriors. Except when Wen Ruo resigned, he has never given titles indiscriminately. He even restarted the 20th-level military merit system. Your title is military merit title. This little thing cannot be affected and will definitely be able to be maintained."

Xiahou Dun said happily when he heard this, "It's great, isn't everyone happy? As for the position, I will tell you the truth. I don't want to be this official anymore. When I was a general, I knew that I was actually not capable. Now the war in Jizhou has come to an end. Yanzhou is no longer the front line. Naturally, I, the governor of Yanzhou, should do serious business, but you don't know me. I am not the source of being a governor. If you don't remove my position, I want to resign myself."

Guo Jia also knew that Xiahou Dun should be comforting himself, and was quite sad to accompany him to drink with big mouthfuls of wine. While he was moved, he felt a little bit of a sigh of dying for his confidant.

"After you come down, who else can the governor of Yanzhou recommend?"

"Well... how is Dong Zhao? He has made quite a lot of contributions with Zhongde over the years."

"The qualifications are still a little bit lighter, and he is from Yanzhou and has three mutual laws."

"Then...then let's go Ding Chong, Meng De will definitely agree."

"Ding Chong..." Guo Jia frowned unconsciously, thinking from the bottom of his heart that Ding Chong was not suitable. Not to mention whether the court would agree, even in the Wei Gong camp, it would be too nepotism to suddenly lift this person to such a high position. Is this a little bit of nepotism to regard Yanzhou as his own private property?

However, Ding Chong is the Ding clan of Qiao County. No matter how trusted Guo Jia is by Cao Cao, he is still an outsider. However, it is not convenient to directly object to him. He changed the topic and said, "What about you, I plan to rub you to the end. What will you do afterwards? Go around in a circle and go to Yecheng to be the minister of Wei Gong?"

Xiahou Dun smiled bitterly and said, "If you remove my title, maybe this is really a good suggestion, but I am a dignified marquis and I will be a minister of the palace. Isn't this causing trouble for Meng De? Don't worry about me, I have actually thought about it a long time ago. I plan to go back to my hometown in Qiao County."

"Just retire like this?"

"Forget it, Miaocai has grown up now and can be left with Meng De's side instead. It doesn't matter if I stay. To be honest, the emperor treats Meng De... Oh, I can't say it, you should be strict. The emperor has been treating him quite respectful for the past two years, and he has also made him a Duke for the first time. He also recognized Meng De's contributions and hanged his portrait first in Lingyan Pavilion early on."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "The emperor is a benevolent lord. On the one hand, he thinks of Duke Wei's achievements over the years, and on the other hand, he is also for the people of the world. He hopes that Duke Wei can be a loyal minister until his death."

"Yes, but now, except for those old people, there are no one around you. It's okay in the army, but fewer and fewer people can trust in politics. The emperor has been deliberately provoking officials around Wei."

"There is no way. The emperor had many disagreements in his early years. He forced the emperor from Luoyang to Xudu, and he had planted the bitter fruit today. Duke Wei held military power and had several states to support him. The emperor could not feel at ease. After all, Duke Wei could not fully trust the emperor. He could only hold on to the power in his hand, especially military power, so that the emperor could not throw himself into a jealous way."

Both of them were silent when they said this. To be honest, this was a dead end for a pair of monarchs and ministers. After a while, Guo Jia said: "Of course, there is also a queen and a prince between them. As long as the prince grows up, even if he is only eleven or eleven years old, Duke Wei will naturally delegate power."

Xiahou Dun smiled bitterly and said, "After all, there are still ten years left. Although Meng De still has many old subordinates around him and the newly recruited famous officials in Hebei and Qing prefectures, his foundation is still the people of Qiao Peiwu. So after thinking about it, my return to Qiao County may be more helpful to him than if I am in Yanzhou or stay by his side."
