[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

On the other side, Cao Cao finished reviewing the last official document on the case, got up and walked out of the house.When I arrived at the courtyard where Guo Jia lived, I happened to meet a servant with a strange expression who came out of the house.When he saw Cao Cao, his face turned pale again. Cao Cao was suspicious and stopped him.Before Cao Cao could say anything, he just frowned, and the servant was so frightened that he told Cao Cao everything.

"Gu knows, you step back."

The servant hurriedly pleaded guilty and left, secretly rejoicing that he was not angered by Cao Cao.He walked so fast that he didn't see it at all. When Cao Cao heard his words, the helplessness and deeper pain hidden on his face.

Push open the door, but there is no warmth like other rooms.Obviously it was the house where he had repeatedly told him that the brazier was the last thing to do, but the temperature was almost the same as the cold outside. Cao Cao knew at a glance that someone deliberately extinguished the brazier placed in the corner.He walked around the screen and saw Guo Jia wearing only a thin jacket, walking barefoot on the cold ground.Seeing Cao Cao coming, he was stunned for a second, then greeted with a smile:

"Bright……"

Before the word "Gong" could be uttered, Cao Cao hugged Guo Jia across the waist.Guo Jia wanted to resist, Cao Cao grabbed his hand first, and was startled by the cold touch, he pushed Guo Jia back into the quilt more forcefully, thought for a while, and then put the fur coat on his body Cover it up.He tried Guo Jia's forehead, but fortunately, it didn't burn again.

"Why don't you drink the medicine?" Just now the servant reported to Cao Cao that Guo Jia took all the soup and medicine that he had cooked and poured it into the brazier. angry.

"Jia is angry." Unexpectedly, Guo Jia felt aggrieved first, "When Jia didn't want to get sick before, she would have a small illness every three days and a serious illness every five days. Why is it that now that Jia wants to get sick again, God just won't let it go?" Jia is ill." His hand quietly slipped out of the quilt, and Cao Cao grabbed him again before he could do anything.This time Cao Cao simply held Guo Jia's hand in his palm, not only preventing him from doing anything else, but also helping him warm his hands.

Guo Jia had no choice but to say in a weak voice: "Anyway, if Duke Ming lets Jia drink the 'medicine', it means that Jia's illness is not cured. That day Duke Ming promised to wait until Jia's sick day, and he would not break his promise."

Guo Jia's hand was really too cold, like snow and ice that would not melt for a long time in winter, Cao Cao felt a sharp pain in his heart when he touched it.He would rather he didn't know the reason why Guo Jia did these things, so that he could blame Guo Jia for his nonsense as in the past, and half "forced" and half coaxed Guo Jia to drink "medicine".Instead of being like this now, facing Guo Jia, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't say a word.

Guo Jia is such a smart person, as long as he wants to do something, he can always come up with thousands of strategies.But only in this matter, he was "forced" to the point of helplessness, and was at his wit's end. He could only use this method, which was similar to a child's mischief, to make the final struggle, but he still couldn't change it in the end.

Cao Cao could only talk about what happened in class just now to change the subject.When it came to these serious matters, Guo Jia was indeed a lot more serious, and he no longer tried every means to lift the quilt covering him.Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally said:

"Zihuan is even better than Gu expected, and with the assistance of Ziwen and Zijian, Gu believes that no matter what happens, he will be able to handle it."

"What about Sima Yi?" Guo Jia asked, "Did Duke Ming kill him?"

Cao Cao shook his head, and continued under Guo Jia's increasingly cold eyes: "It's clear that Sima Yi is not a loyal minister. But because of this, if there is another disaster in the future, Sima Yi will help Zihuan wholeheartedly. Only when Zihuan gains power, Sima Yi has a chance to get what he wants."

"So, Minggong thinks that you can rest assured?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, "Although Ma Teng surrendered to the court, what about his restless son and Han Sui who holds the military power in Xiliang? Those who are dishonest in Qingzhou and Xuzhou What about the rich family? What about Jiangdong, who is waiting for the right time? And in the palace, doesn’t Duke Ming want to wait for his daughter to come out..."

The more Guo Jia spoke, the more anxious he became, Cao Cao could only use his lips to seal Guo Jia's words.

After being stunned for a second, Guo Jia immediately bit back hard, and didn't give up until the taste of rust came out of his mouth.

But apart from the smell of blood, Cao Cao clearly felt something wet and salty.

"Feng Xiao," Cao Cao sighed, and rubbed Guo Jia's head half buried in the quilt, "You..."

"Go for it." Guo Jia's muffled voice came from under the quilt, "Do what you want, don't worry about anything."

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, and his lips gradually curved into an arc:

"it is good."

Before the final sound of "good" ended, Guo Jia put his arms around Cao Cao's neck and kissed him.It was different from the biting just now, this time Guo Jia kissed very carefully, not letting his teeth touch the place where Cao Cao was bitten.He kissed deeply again, as if he was afraid of something.After a moment, Cao Cao had already taken the initiative, and his lips and teeth blended together. They didn't slowly separate until they were about to exhaust their last breath.

"Ming Gong," Guo Jia exhaled warmth after some entanglement, and his body seemed to be no longer so cold, "Jia doesn't want to wait until the illness is cured."

Cao Cao's eyes were slightly red, and in Guo Jia's misty eyes, he could clearly see his hot asshole.He bent down and bit Guo Jia's fair and slender neck.

"it is good."

————————————————————

Both Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were imprisoned, but they were both released due to insufficient evidence.Lifting it up high and putting it down gently, everyone couldn't figure out the ingenuity in it, so they had to let it go.But soon, they realized that Cao Cao had handed over most of the important tasks to Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi, who was logically supposed to be depressed because of being left out in the cold, instead traveled around Yecheng with great interest. Even Yang Xiu, who wanted to help Cao Zhi compete for the position of heir, seemed to have completely given up on his previous plan, and accompanied Cao Zhi to "recite" poems and compose Fu, never talking about political affairs.

It seems that the battle of heirs has completely come to an end.

But when Cao Cao returned to Yecheng, the situation became weird again.Because this time, not only Guo Jia, who was inseparable from Cao Cao, but also Xun Yu, who had been sitting on the Shangshutai for more than ten years, followed Cao Cao back to Ye.

Many people secretly shook their heads when they thought of the emperor who had ceased to rule every day after the empress was killed, and now that Yecheng is full of strong soldiers, horses, and talents:

Today, I'm afraid it will really change.

The days passed day by day, and it gradually came to the depths of winter. The wind was bitter and icy to the bone. Everyone huddled under the thick fur coats, not daring to show any gaps.Finally on this day, Cao Cao ordered to summon officials of all sizes from Yecheng in the mansion.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty for an order to return [-] households in Yangxia, Zhe, and Kuhu, and entrust the three sons with [-] in the three counties. Ziwen will be the Marquis of Yanling, Zijian will be the Marquis of Pingyuan, Cangshu will be the Marquis of Raoyang, and Shi There are five thousand households in each city. What do you think?"

All the officials lowered their eyes, fearing that they might misjudge the shape and their heads would be in different places.

"Prime Minister, You think it's inappropriate." The silence was suddenly broken, and everyone subconsciously looked at Guo Jia, but they saw Guo Jia standing in the same place as them, and when they looked back, it was Xun You, who had always been cautious, who spoke just now.

"What's Gongda's opinion?"

"It is in line with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period for the prime minister to reduce the food and entrust the princes. However, among the elder sons, only the second son has no title. If this is the case, you are afraid of "disrupting" the order of the eldest sons and causing disaster. "Chaos" in Xiao Qiang."

"Your Majesty has ordered Zihuan to be a general of the five senses, to be placed in the official office, and to take the post of deputy prime minister. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for him to be appointed again."

"You have a way." Xun You lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Since Huanling, the royal family has been in decline, the people have been displaced, and the prime minister went to the country in disaster. , was ordered by the emperor to beg for disobedience. As a result, Yuan Shu took the lead, and Lu Bu was killed. Yuan Shao rebelled against the "chaos" of heaven, plotting to endanger the country, relying on his crowd, and called the soldiers internal insults. Using his ingenious strategy to reach Guandu and save the country from danger. As for Karasuma in Beiping, Jingzhou in the south, treasures in the east of the Yangtze River, and bowing down in Xiliang, it is all thanks to the prime minister. The prime minister calmed the world, protected the royal family, and Banxu At home, there is a beautiful custom. Although Yi Yinge is in Huangtian and Zhou Gong is in the world, it is not as good as it is. You ask the prime minister to be promoted to the Duke of Wei, and the second son is the son of Wei, so as to clearly distinguish the concubines and fulfill the destiny."

Sure enough, this moment has come.

Regardless of whether the officials agree or not, the words Cao Cao and Xun You sang and elicited were within their expectations.The only thing that surprised them was the speaker.They thought that if it was so dangerous, Cao Cao would hand over to the most trusted Guo Jia to cooperate.But thinking about it again, there is no family behind Guo Jia, and the same words are definitely not as powerful as Xun You's words, because it means that the Xun Family agrees with and even supports this matter.

They coincidentally looked quietly at Xun Yu who was standing aside.Since the Xun family has chosen to support the Cao family, then Xun Yu also...

"What do you think about Gongda's words?"

"Jia thinks what he said is true. Jia asked the prime minister to be promoted to the Duke of Wei, so as to fulfill the destiny and bless the people."

Guo Jia first leaned over and knelt down.Then, other officials who recovered their senses also hurriedly knelt down one after another, kowtowed to Cao Cao and shouted:

"I invite the prime minister to be promoted to the Duke of Wei, and I will accept the destiny of heaven to bless all the people!"

In the huge hall, everyone knelt down in front of Cao Cao, except one.

Xun Yu could see the urgent pleading in Xun You's eyes, he could see the light joke on Guo Jia's lips, he could see Cao Cao's frown, and he could even see that the officials lying on the ground were puzzled, worried or worried. mocking gaze.But he didn't seem to see anything, he walked towards the center, faltering.Some people present remembered that Xun Yu was handling government affairs at the Shangshutai all year round, sitting for seven or eight hours at a time, and over time suffered from leg problems, which would occur every cold season.And now, it's the cold season.

He staggered like this, walked slowly before the officials, looked at Cao Cao, and said calmly:

"Prime Minister, Yu thinks this is not an appropriate discussion."

A trace of offended anger flashed in Cao Cao's eyes: "What's your opinion?"

"Gaozu once said that those with different surnames who have made contributions to the country must be stopped by the marquis, and those who violate it will be punished by the whole world. The prime minister, Ben Xingyi, fought for the Ningguo, upholding loyalty and sincerity, and keeping the reality of retreat. Now he is the Duke of Wei, Yu Fearing that the good things in the world are vying to speculate on each other, thinking that the prime minister has the heart of disobedience, and traps the prime minister in injustice. I ask the prime minister to stop this discussion."

Cao Cao sneered: "If Gu would worry about good things, Gu would not be where he is today."

"Those who do good things are not to be feared, and those who are feared are the heart of the prime minister."

With a "snap", Cao Cao shot up at the case, and those who were close could even see the cracks on the side of the case, obviously extremely angry.All the officials trembled and dared not speak, but Xun Yu stood upright and met Cao Cao's gaze without fear.

Tit for tat?Many people kneeling on the ground would think so, but Cao Cao could not find any anger similar to his in Xun Yu's eyes.Xun Yu just looked back at him indifferently. Even though there were turbulent waves and thousands of words, they had already cooled down, condensing into the calm at this moment... the calm despair.

Cao Cao couldn't help being dumb, he couldn't say anything, and most of the anger on his face disappeared.After confronting each other for a long time, he slumped back to his seat and waved his hand wearily:

"What Wen Ruo said is reasonable. Today's affairs will be discussed in another day. Step back."

"promise."

Although the Jinjue matter was temporarily shelved due to Xun Yu's open opposition, everyone knew that this matter would never be left alone.Sure enough, a few days later, Cao Cao drafted a decree on behalf of the emperor, Dao Xunyu had been a minister for many years, he had worked hard and made great achievements, and he was specially allowed to return to his hometown to recuperate for half a year.It was freezing cold, and Xun Yu had leg problems that made it difficult for him to move. At this time, he was forced to return to Yingchuan, obviously because Xun Yu had developed a feud with Cao Cao.Seeing Xun Yu's peaceful result of the imperial edict, many people sighed and shook their heads.

Once I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back.Xun Yu assisted Cao Cao for more than 20 years, and never gave up despite all difficulties and obstacles.It's really sad and lamentable to end up with a cunning rabbit and a lackey.

Because he was going back to his hometown, except for Xun Yu, his wife accompanied him.Yingchuan was pacified early, the people were stable and prosperous, and the bandits were also wiped out early, so although the road was bumpy, it was considered safe.Before the New Year's Eve, they returned to the old house of Xun's family smoothly.

On this day, thousands of miles were frozen, and heavy snow was flying.

Xun Yu's wife, Mrs. Tang, personally went to the gate of the mansion to welcome the visitor.He was wearing a fur coat made of Firefox fur, and some white snow fell on him when he got off the car.Tang hurriedly asked his servant to hold an umbrella for him, while he led the guests to the house.

"My husband would be very happy if he knew that Mr. came from thousands of miles away to see him." During this big change, Tang's face showed no trace of anxiety, which showed that she was far more determined than ordinary women.She lowered her eyes and happened to see a food box with some patterns in Guo Jia's hand. Out of etiquette or caution, she asked casually, "This is it?"

"Jia came to see Wen Ruo, so he couldn't come empty-handed, so he brought a pot of medicinal wine." Guo Jiawen said, "My lord is also worried about Wen Ruo's leg disease, so I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicinal materials for you to drink." Jia brought it together."

"The prime minister and sir are thinking of you, and I will thank the prime minister and sir on behalf of my husband." Tang shi bowed softly, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.The prime minister still remembered worrying about her husband's health, and thinking about it, the situation might not be as bad as she thought.

But because of this, he didn't think about why wine and medicinal materials should be put in the food box.

"The concubine will not bother you and my husband." Walking to the door of Xun Yu's house, Mrs. Tang saluted and bowed again. Guo Jia nodded, and saw her turn and leave, her figure gradually blending into the flying snow.

It's a good day to kill with so much snow.

Guo Jia was carrying the food box, although it was not heavy, he still felt a little sore in his hands.

He knocked on the door with his other hand:

"Wen Ruo, Jia is here to see you."
