Chapter 15: Courage

"Who is under your feet?"

Guo Jia came to the minister. This person stood in front of civil and military affairs and his official position should be not low.

The man raised his face and glanced at Guo Jia with his eyes slanted, and said proudly: "Hanoi Zhang, Sikong Zhang Xi, and Shangshu Ling..."

He also wanted to continue reporting the subsequent series of official positions, and Guo Jia raised his hand to signal him to stop his words.

Sikong

Three

As for the absolute high-ranking official, as for where he came from the Zhang family in Hanoi, Guo Jia is not interested in exploring it.

The formation of the political group of aristocratic clans did not occur when the Han Dynasty was founded, but because of the corrupt rule. For the past hundred years, foreign relatives and eunuchs took turns to control the government affairs, which was caused by the stupidity of the emperor.

For example, the Xun family in Yingchuan and Xun Yu belong to the third generation, the second generation was Xun Shuang and others, and the first generation was Xun Shu and others.

For example, the deceased Situ Wang Yun was the first leader of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Later, in history, the second and third generations of the Wang family in Taiyuan had many powerful figures such as Situ, Sikong, and the governor.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was the early stage of the formation and development of the gentry. It truly grew and entered the historical stage to form an unshakable force. It was driven by the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system when the founding of the Cao Wei Kingdom decades later in history.

At present, in the early stages of the formation of the clan, the Yuan family really integrated the scattered gentry groups for their own use.

The first generation of Yuan family leader, Situ Yuan An, the second generation of Yuan family leader, Sikong Yuan Chang, the third generation of Yuan family leader, Taiwei Yuan Tang, the fourth generation of Yuan family leader, Sikong Yuan Feng, and Taifu Yuan Wei.

When the foundation laid by the four generations of leaders was passed to the fifth generation of leader Yuan Shao, he had the strong capital of four generations, three officials and many old officials.

If there were other gentry, who could compare to the Yuan family?

Now, even if these civil and military officials in the hall have some foundations in the local area, they are too shallow, such as the Cui family of Boling, Zhong family of Yingchuan, and Yang family of Hongnong...

These local tyrants who came from gentry and became gentry really emerged and had to wait for Cao Pi to take office. Now, the uproar they can cause is not to be afraid, otherwise they would not be in a tragic situation of dying.

"Guo Jia is from a humble background and is not worth mentioning."

Guo Jia finished speaking softly, turned around and took two steps forward, bowed to Liu Xie, who had awkward expression on the main position, and said, "Your Majesty, after I wiped out Li Jue and Guo Si, I learned that there were treacherous ministers in the court and the two thieves, among which there were Sikong Zhang Xi. I am willing to kill the treacherous treacherous and purged the traitorous Dian Wei for Your Majesty, drag the treacherous minister Zhang Xi out and beheaded."

Everyone was shocked and shocked

Liu Xie's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Guo Jia who looked up at him with a blank expression. A cold air suddenly burst into his heart, sweeping through his body.

"Guo Jia, how dare you commit crimes in front of Your Majesty? You should be punished by slandering the important ministers of the dynasty and be killed."

Zhang Xi kept shouting when she was dragged out by Dian Wei, but she still couldn't change her destiny.

The ministers were stunned Ma Teng and Han Sui were also stunned

Liu Xie couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, has the picture been revealed?

"Guo Jia, Zhang Sikong is loyal to His Majesty. How could he have an affair with Li Jue and Guo Si? Don't swear to others?"

Dong Cheng pointed at Guo Jia furiously, and Guo Jia looked up at Liu Xie slowly lowered his eyes, and did not look at Dong Cheng, and said softly: "Who is this person?"

Dong Cheng, who was furious, was speechless. He was very eloquent just now, but now he couldn't speak a word.

If he reported himself to his family, would he be framed by Guo Jia again?

Zhang Xi's scolding outside the hall disappeared, and there was no scream when beheading his head. He raised his sword and fell, and it was straightforward and neat, and the world was quiet.

"Your Majesty, Guo Jia has made contributions to suppressing the thieves, and Zhang Sikong has an affair with the thieves, so he will die."

Zhong Yao said lightly with expressionless expression.

The ministers in the hall looked at Zhong Yao in surprise, and then looked at Guo Jia, who was slightly lowered his head and indifferent.

Did Zhong Yao turn against Guo Jia?

At least some of the ministers would have speculated this way, following Zhong Yao, and Fu Wan also stepped out and bowed his head and fisted to discuss it.

Liu Xie's face was bloodless. Seeing that people kept coming out to echo Guo Jia's actions, the first thought in his mind was that they all turned to Guo Jia.

Even if Zhang Xi is really the minion of Li Jue and Guo Si, even if Zhang Xi is punished for his crime, it is not Guo Jia's turn to do it.

I'm still here

But Guo Jia has killed someone, and he can kill more

Thinking of this, Liu Xie understood Zhong Yao’s intention.

This is to give both sides a step.

For the sake of Zhang Xi and for some face, would Guo Jia really force him to wave his butcher knife?

Are there fewer people in the Han Dynasty who have forced him to rebel over the years?

Even if Guo Jia has no credit, he has an army and has already controlled the army in Luoyang!

Regret killing, in one thought

"Since my dear minister has evidence of Zhang Xi's crime of collusion with the enemy, Zhang Xi will die more than anything else."

Liu Xie forced himself to smile and said a word bluntly.

Now, he has figured it out.

Guo Jia has made contributions, and has soldiers and generals.

He can win over or ignore it.

However, you must never be despised or angered.

Zhang Xi died, and that was Zhang Xi angering Guo Jia.

Everyone in the world can insult Guo Jia and curse Guo Jia behind their backs.

You can also be in front of Guo Jia.

However, the consequences are at your own risk.

Guo Jia killed Zhang Xi, which was easy to get out of hand, and the consequences caused were nothing more than angering Liu Xie.

Guo Jia knew this very well, but he still ordered the killing of Zhang Xi, because the reason was very simple.

Even though the killing of Li Jue and Guo Si was because they were an obstacle that Guo Jia had to remove from the advancement of Guanzhong, it was also helping Liu Xie avenge him.

He came to Luoyang thousands of miles to deliver food to the emperor and his ministers, not asking them to be grateful and virtuous, but at least one of the most basic respect can be obtained? Isn't it too much to ask for it?

Zhang Xi spoke rudely, and even in front of Guo Jia and Guo Ye and his son.

If you complain, you will give me a hundred times more.

Zhong Yao was the first person to see the cause and effect. He has been to Chengdu and has had a brief contact with Guo Jia. He can see three points clearly about Guo Jia's character.

Guo Jia is not a person who is very fond of merit, nor is he who enjoys showing off his power.

His killing of Zhang Xi is a personal grudge, not a shock to anyone, nor is it insinuation.

Therefore, he was the first to come forward to agree with Guo Jia to stop the storm.

If the emperor gets angry because of Zhang Xi's death, all officials will rise up and attack him.

Today, Yang'an Palace may be filled with blood.

"Your Majesty, as the governor of Yizhou, I will return to Chengdu to handle government affairs and leave first."

Guo Jia bowed and planned to leave.

As for whether to return to Chengdu or Chang'an, no one can restrict him.

"Please stay, please stay"

Liu Xie suddenly stood up and shouted, stretching out his hand as if he wanted to hold Guo Jia.

Guo Jia frowned slightly, wondering what else Liu Xie wanted to do.

Don't force me to kill again

"All the beloved ministers retreat first and stay with filial piety."

The ministers were hesitant and afraid that Guo Jia would not be good to the emperor. Later, they realized that Guo Jia was trying to harm the emperor. Whether they were there or not is the same.

All the officials retreated, and the eunuchs were also sent away. In the Yang'an Hall, only the high emperor Liu Xiehe stood upright and indifferent Guo Jia.

In the deadly hall, Liu Xie looked down at Guo Jia for a long time, without saying a word, suddenly stepped down and came to Guo Jia to stop.

Looking up slightly, Guo Jia saw Liu Xie's complicated expression and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, I was the one who gave you back then."

Guo Jia once told Liu Xie that as long as Cai Yan escaped from trouble, he would follow Liu Xie, but he broke his promise.

At the foot of the mountain, when he was confronting Dong Zhuo, Guo Jia never mentioned Liu Xie.

But at that time, Guo Jia did not mention Liu Xie, but was doing it for Liu Xie's good.

Dong Zhuoduo will not let Liu Xie go, nor will he die.

"I don't understand the filial piety, but I never understand it. I treat you sincerely and love your talents. God can tell you. Why is I unwilling to be loyal to me?"

Liu Xie looked sad, and he couldn't figure out Guo Jia's attitude.

Although Guo Jia killed Li Jue and Guo Si and sent food again, it seemed that he was kind-hearted, Liu Xie still felt that he was less than one step away from Guo Jia, and his hearts were far away from the world.

Looking at Liu Xie, who was half a piece longer than before, Guo Jia stood opposite him, and still looked down at him.
