[Three Kingdoms] The daily struggle of female counsellors

Countless painful experiences in history tell us that when you do not have enough ability, the power you hold is directly proportional to the speed at which you raise your braids.

This law proved especially fast in He Jin.

He Jin was originally a butcher, but because his half-sister was favored by the Emperor Ling, he rose all the way to the top. He was able to hold a soldier's handle, raise his head to the capital, command a hero, and become a celebrity. It can be seen that He Jin must have some means.

However, this person disobeyed the public and refused to listen to Chen Lin's words.In the words of Boss Cao, it is-know the small and seek the strong.

He Jin has hated eunuchs for a long time, and he knows that eunuchs have long been hated by the world. In addition, Jian Shuo once plotted to kill He Jin, He Jin's dislike for eunuchs can be said to have reached the peak of his emotional life.

Don't tell him what to get rid of the chief evil!Eunuchs don't have a good thing, so if they want to kill them, they will kill them happily.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who also hated eunuchs, also had this plan.He Jin and Yuan Shao hit it off right away, with excited hearts and trembling hands, thinking that things would change sooner or later, they agreed on a strategy and decided to abolish the eunuch system completely.

If He Jin had acted more resolutely, he might not have died so aggrieved.

It's a pity that he didn't. After He Jin made a perfect plan, Dou Wu's precedent of killing his favorite and being killed did not wake him up. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he was still a minister, so he couldn't wait to make this plan. He told his sister, Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He also told her mother, Lord Wuyang, that Lord Wuyang had been repeatedly bribed by eunuchs, so she began to instigate the relationship between Empress Dowager He and He Jin.The Empress Dowager He was really suspicious and firmly disagreed with He Jin's plan. Baby He Jin couldn't help being wronged at this time, but he didn't think about becoming tough himself, but he followed Yuan Shao's advice and sought out "foreign aid". One of the foreign aid was That is Dong Zhuo who is far away in the east of the river.

However, everyone's solidarity is not as good as Queen Mother He's "No".Yuan Shao urged again and again, and He Jin was suspicious again and again. After a long time, things will fail. This is an inevitable truth.

In August, He Jin entered the palace to ask for an order, but threw himself into a trap and was punished by Zhang Rang and others in front of the Jiade Palace.

When Qingtong heard the news of He Jin's rebellion and execution, Guo Jin was drawing a pen on the map to draw a route. When Qingtong said this, Guo Jin's wrist trembled carelessly, and thick black ink rolled down the hair tip. Render a not eye-catching ink.

Guo Jin put the brush in the brush wash, rolled up the silk on the case and put it away, and then turned her gaze to the girl opposite.With a terrified and anxious expression, the emerald jade bells in his ears swayed gently in mid-air following the person's kneeling posture.

Guo Jin understands Qingtong's current mood very well.After all, what does it mean for Optimus Prime-like He Jin to collapse?It is not difficult for anyone to guess.But for He Jin's death, Guo Jin didn't have much emotion, her only thought now is - Dong Zhuo is going to Beijing.

Regarding Dong Zhuo, perhaps there are too many descriptions of his brutality in the history books, but Guo Jin has a slight fear of him.Fortunately, she was afraid of No.1 death, and would never confront him head-on, Guo Jin thought comfortingly, even if Dong Zhuo was as ruthless as a hungry wolf, it had nothing to do with her.

Thinking of his doomed life of wandering and struggling in the future, Guo Jin couldn't bear it, and often said: "If Qingtong listens to me, he will pack his bags and go back to Yangdi."

Seeing that she wanted to leave him alone again, Qingtong didn't care about the shame in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Guo Jin's sleeve: "Master, do you think I'm a burden?"

Guo Jin didn't break free, just let her hold it carefully, "You don't need to think too much, Jin just feels that the world will be in chaos, Yingchuan will be rich and rich, and I may not escape the bad luck of being robbed."

When Dong Zhuo entered the capital and Xiliang soldiers plundered Luoyang's aristocratic clans wantonly, and then intensified their sweep to the surrounding areas of Luoyang, the fertile land of Yingchuan, where the aristocratic families were scattered, must be the first to suffer.

If you don't move at this time, you will be doomed.

Although Guo Xi was not her biological father, she loved her very much. Even for the sake of the original owner, she couldn't allow an old man of her age to be humiliated and tortured by the Xiliang Army.

Thinking about this, Guo Jin continued: "A letter from Jin, if the young boy is willing to go back to his hometown to convey it on his behalf, so that my Guo family can move to the Jingshu area, Jin will remember his deep kindness, and thank you very much in the future."

Did you want her to go home and deliver a letter?

Qingtong immediately kowtowed and promised, she never had any doubts about her son's judgment, she just believed in the handsome young man in front of her without any scruples, and the son was like the so-called Yaohua in the world in the book.

The world has its own Yaohua Pavilion, so why still look for weak water boats?It is worthwhile to follow such a person, even if it is a poor life.

Now that she has agreed, within three days, Guo Jin has already arranged for her to get in and out of Luoyang. Then, taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, Guo Jin took her elder brother to the outskirts of the city to see the young boy off in person.

Guo Jin said "Treasure", Qing Tong hurriedly knelt down on the carriage frame to salute, and when the steed neighed far away, Qing Tong opened the crimson car curtain as if waking up from a dream, and waved desperately in the direction of Guo Jin and the two Said: "Young master, wait for me to come back!"

Guo Jin smiled and left this place of strife, but whoever is smarter will not get involved in this turbulent countercurrent again.

I wish you a smooth journey, no disease and no disease, and an ordinary life.

……

After He Jin's death, He Jin's trilogy rushed into the palace like crazy.Yuan Shu also took the opportunity to attack Miyagi, Zhang Rang and others fled in haste with Young Emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie.

Yuan Shao even took the opportunity to pretend to be entrusted with the edict, closed the palace gates, searched the eunuchs wantonly, and killed all the eunuchs, old and young.When Yuan Shao murdered the superior, Dong Zhuo, who had been stationed in Shanglin Garden by He Jinzheng earlier because of Yuan Shao's proposal, couldn't sit still.

Seeing the turmoil in the capital, Dong Zhuo, who knew that the opportunity could not be missed, began to raise his troops to Luoyang.It's really luck that can't stop it, Dong Zhuopu went to the western suburbs, so that he could meet the young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu king Liu Xie in Beimanban.

It was simply a trump card given by God, Dong Zhuo happily accepted this divine gift, and directly led his army into Luoyang City.

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, and Guo Jin was also dumbfounded.

Yuan Shaosu was late to see what was going on, until Dong Zhuo used a trick to flood Xiliang soldiers back and forth into the city several times, then he sighed, feeling that it was too late, and fearing that Dong Zhuo would harm him, he fled to Jizhou in embarrassment .

But what Guo Jin was dumbfounded was that Erlang was gone.

At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, he pretended to recruit celebrities. Guo Jin thought that this person was narrow-minded. Although he couldn't accept rejection from others, he still wanted to save some face. Unexpectedly, the little angel Xun You, who stayed behind in the capital, rushed towards her. He cursed a few times, saying that Xun Shuang was forcibly expropriated by Dong Zhuo, a thief, and could not escape, so he had been sent to Pingyuan to take up his post.

Guo Jin: "..."

This is the rhythm of die or work Hey!

Feeling that Dong Zhuo, who pretended to be sick because of his bandit mentality, would not work here, Guo Jin and Guo Jia discussed for a long time, and after planning, they finally settled on Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is fertile and wild, with good weather and good weather.Before Boss Cao plundered the Xuzhou area in the name of avenging his father, Tao Qian allowed others to implement the farming system, where the people are rich and the state is attached to each other.

It is obviously a perfect place to try to promote your own new agricultural concept here.

But when Guo Jin rolled up his luggage, sharpened his sword, and fed the fast horse in the stable to his heart's content, Guo Jin belatedly realized that Erlang was gone? !

Let her search all over Guo's mansion, and then visited Miheng and Xunyou's mansions separately with Guo Jia, and even pestered Cao Angchu several times without giving up.

Nothing, just disappearing out of thin air.

Guo Jin was completely panicked, trying desperately to remember which link went wrong, but no matter how hard she tried, she still had no memory of it at all.Seeing Guo Jin lose her mind and go out of the mansion every day to look for Erlang, Guo Jia couldn't bear it and didn't try to dissuade her, but just followed her every day.

As time went by, the thoughts in Guo Jin's mind sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Erlang... Could it be that he was in trouble?

Thinking of the evil deeds of the Xiliang Army that have been spread in Luoyang City recently, Guo Jin felt cold all over his body. He is only a child under ten years old, how insane is he to target a child who has no power to fight back like this?

What is this if it is not a beast?

In September of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Dong Zhuo abolished the establishment and supported Liu Xie to ascend the throne in order to "dedicate himself to the emperor".Within two days, Empress Dowager He was poisoned to death.

Because of Erlang's disappearance, it was originally scheduled to leave Xuzhou in September of the sixth year of Zhongping, but it was delayed until February of the following year.

In February of the first year of Chuping, under the threat of Yuan Shao's coalition forces, Dong Zhuo began to forcefully move the capital.Guo Jin didn't wait for the news of Erlang, so he had to be forced to board the frame that had been prepared earlier, planning to leave the city safely before being driven away by force.

The city of Luoyang was in a mess, with melons, fruits and vegetables strewn here and there on the rickety vendors.

Guo Jin opened the curtain and looked into the distance, the Luoyang Palace City behind him was full of flames, the screams of women and children, the noise of quarreling, and the sound of iron armor were heard endlessly. Looking at the majestic palace, I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart.

The two palaces caught fire, Luoyang was in chaos, mausoleums were dug and tombs were robbed, and the evil deeds were embarrassing.Luo Yang at this moment is like the end of the world.

Guo Jin felt that she shouldn't be like this. She is obviously a modern person who has insight into all historical development trajectories.

She knew that Dong Zhuo was cruel and sinful, and that the people were displaced and miserable.But these are history, no matter how sad she is, she is just a bystander.

But from the moment she found out that Erlang was missing, she suddenly woke up. In fact, she was already in the so-called history, and she was a part of history. Hope it's all just a dream.

Do I... also have the ability to change something?

Just as he was thinking like this, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the middle of his field of vision. The man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the Hunan-colored train on his body was covered with dust that could not be wiped off, and his face and eyes were full of anxiety. , she just stood at the end of the official road in such a panic, carefully looking at every carriage passing by.

Suddenly, Qingtong's sight was firmly attracted by an inconspicuous frame.Looking carefully, under the crimson veil of the carriage is indeed that elegant profile.

The young boy was thinking about something, and was dazed for a moment, when the young boy raised his arm in surprise and waved to Guo Jin and the two, before she could take a step, she was picked up by Xiliang soldiers in iron armor around her , carried it on his shoulders, and walked straight towards the place where the flames reflected the red sky.

Guo Jin hurriedly said, "Qingtong?!"

Before Guo Jia could react, he saw the boy in white who had been sitting silently just now, jumped off the frame in a blink of an eye, and ran frantically towards the fire.

Guo Jia's heartstrings tensed suddenly, seeing the young man's resolute back, he grabbed the saber by his side and got out of the car.Before leaving, he also asked the coachman to meet in the suburbs of the western city.

Guo Jin's mind went blank, Xu Shi Erlang's disappearance hit her too hard, and she really couldn't accept another heart-wrenching accident.She was desperately chasing after that Xiliang soldier, and from a distance, she could only see the thick and cold armor on the opponent's body, and the firelight reflected a cold and emotionless luster.

Her face was pale, and cold sweat seeped into her clothes. She drew out the short knife in her arms with concentration. The blade had been sharpened by her long ago.She tried her best to cross the sea of ​​people and the soldiers pushing and shoving. Just when she thought she could save the innocent and kind little girl, what greeted her was the scene of the young boy committing suicide with tears in his eyes.

This was the first time she felt helpless.The long-lost anger rushed to her head, so that she held the dagger tightly, and inserted the blade into the opponent's neck like a madman.

The blood vessel was cut open, blood splashed everywhere, and Guo Jin's snow-white skin was instantly dyed bright red.Seeing the man's silent appearance, Guo Jin let go of his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "bang".

she killed...

Guo Jin had difficulty breathing for a while, and even her heart was congested and painful. Before she could think in her mind, Guo Jin was firmly held by someone's hands.

His breathing was all messed up, and he didn't look calm at all. Guo Jin let him hold it obediently, her eyes were red from suffocation, but she asked, "Why did your brother come with you?"

Guo Jia didn't say a word, and clasped her waist with both hands along his arms, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would never find her again.

Guo Jin obediently let him hold her. Seeing that the other party didn't dislike the dirty blood on her body, she also wrapped her arms around the other party's waist, "Brother, Qing Tong..."

Halfway through the speech, he choked up his voice.

She was suddenly terrified of this world. Human life is worthless, and no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.She doesn't want to lose anyone she cares about, and she obviously can't be a refined egoist.

Guo Jia finally breathed steadily. Hearing the sound, she lowered her head slightly and leaned into Guo Jin's ear, "Don't be afraid, Ah Jin, this wasn't your fault at all."

You have already made arrangements for her, how could you expect her to return in a hurry?

Hearing the other party's patient comfort, Guo Jin suppressed her grief and directly grabbed the other party's long sleeves that were as wide as flowing clouds.Guo Jin thought with relief, at least her elder brother was by her side.

With him, even if everyone abandons him, it doesn't seem so sad.

but……

Thinking of Heaven's jealousy of talents, and that his elder brother was only thirty and seven when he died in the history books, Guo Jin felt that he should not rely too much on him.

At that time, I will be sad, if my brother is gone, who else will comfort me?Guo Jin tried his best to calm down, and was about to leave this place with Guo Jia as soon as possible, when someone behind him called out: "Brother Jin!"

Guo Jin turned around, Cao Ang didn't know why he hadn't left the city yet, and he was riding close to him from afar.

Cao Angfei got off his horse and saw that she was covered in blood, and his eyebrows were obviously twitched in one place, "Brother Jin, are you injured?"

Taking a half step back, Guo Jin barely maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said, "It's okay, Brother Cao, don't hang up."

Thinking that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Cao Ang didn't say much, he just put the rein in Guo Jin's hand firmly, and left under the dubious eyes of the two.

Guo Jin sensed his intentions, and was about to step forward and grab his robe, but the other party bypassed her movements, and was far away into the fierce flames. His back was straight and firm, and gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​flames.

Remembering the other party's kindness, Guo Jin and his elder brother rode out of the city together. When they met the driver in the western suburbs, Guo Jin thought about it and said to the brown-clothed driver who was quietly waiting: "Let's go to Chang'an."

·

The first thing Xun Yu did after returning home was not to marry a wife, but to persuade the Yingyin people to move.

The Xun family has lived in Yingyin for generations, and is now a prominent local family. The relocation of the family involves the ancestral hall of the ancestors. How can it be done so hastily?

Just when Xun Yu tried his best to mediate with the elders of the clan, the news of General He Jin's death happened to reach Yingchuan, all the counties and counties were shocked, and they knew that Xun Lang's words were true.

Xun Yu was highly respected and respected by his seniority. After thinking about what Xun Yu said, he began to think about moving the clan. Seeing that Mr. Erlong had already nodded, the elders and younger members of the clan all agreed.

After agreeing to take refuge in Jizhou with Xun Yu, Xun Yu finally felt a huge stone in his heart. Before he could rest for a while, he remembered that in Yangdi City, there were relatives and friends that Brother Jin cared about day and night, so he rode alone and re-entered Yangdi.

The first time he visited, Xun Yu politely revealed his identity. He heard that it was Xun Wenruo, a well-known and talented member of the Yingyin Xun family, who was visiting.

Xun Yu became more and more obedient, and after entering the main hall with Guo Xi, he bowed directly and explained to Guo Xi that the Xun family wanted to move their family to Jizhou.

Although Guo Xi is over seventy years old, he has sharp ears and eyes, and he pays more attention to the affairs of Beijing and China.

Feeling that disaster was coming, Guo Xi, who planned to move his family, smiled happily, and only held Xun Yu's hands and started chatting with him.

During the period, I accidentally learned that Xun Yu was acquainted with his own daughter. Guo Xi stroked his gray beard and nodded: "The writing is elegant and extraordinary, and the taste is like pine and bamboo. If it weren't for the young girl who didn't want to marry, I must have come to your mansion in person. We must abduct such a virtuous son-in-law back home!"

Xun Yu laughed softly when he heard the sound, "Thanks to Mr. Guo for his love, Yu is very ashamed."

After saying that, his mind went blank for a moment.

little girl...

He clearly heard what Brother Jin said, Guo Jin was the only son in Guo Gong's family, so how could he talk about the little girl?

Xun Yu seemed to have thought of something, and he didn't care about the complicated manners of a gentleman. He suddenly grabbed the other's slightly decayed hands, and said eagerly, "What does Mr. Guo mean by the little girl?"

It was only then that Guo Xi realized that he had slipped his tongue, and couldn't help beating his chest and regretting.Maybe Xun Yu is too suitable for Guo Xi's ideal son-in-law, or maybe Guo Xi believes too much in Xun Yu's gentlemanly character. Knowing that he is familiar with A Jin, Guo Xi can't help explaining in whispers.

Xun Yu's expression froze for a long time, so long that he didn't notice how he walked out of the Guo Mansion, and how he got up on his horse and rushed straight towards Luo Yang.

Brother Jin, is she actually a girl?

Why is she unwilling to tell herself?

The last time we met, she had tugged on his sleeves so tenderly, but he didn't understand what she meant, and left without saying goodbye presumptuously.

He thought that he should give up, that he couldn't fall in love with a man, even if his heart was beyond hope, he would wake himself up with cold water.

But now he told him that Ah Jin was a girl, there was nothing wrong with liking her, and he could have joined hands with Ah Jin to grow old quietly? !

The heat of the punch boiled to a peak, and then suddenly dropped to freezing point just when he couldn't control himself.

He is already engaged...

This alone is enough to sentence him to death.

The other party was not at fault, so how could he abandon Xun's face for his own selfishness, and step into the mud with the dignity of his fiancée, just to be happy for himself?

From the moment he left without saying goodbye, he should have known that it was he who voluntarily gave up his own happiness.

……

Seeing Xun Yu riding away in despair, Guo Xi stepped into the mansion gate with a sigh. His wife, Mrs. Wang, saw him smiling and said nothing. Recalling the conversation she had just heard, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't you say you were a relative before?" Did Xun Gongda fall for the younger generation of the Xun family? Why did your lord say such things to Wen Ruo?"

Seeing his wife's puzzled look, Guo Xi pretended to mutter deeply: "I heard that Ajin was able to go to Luoyang thanks to the kindness of Xun Wenruo's help. The old man's words not only praised Xun Lang's virtues, but also affirmed the old man's knowledge. People's eyes, wouldn't it be mutually beneficial?"

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang immediately understood what her husband was thinking. He was just complaining that Xun Lang took Ah Jin away from Yangdi, making his father and daughter have a long journey and it was rare to see each other. Because of Jin's special caring heart, he deliberately said this in order to make Xun Lang regret it.

It was inconvenient for Mrs. Wang to break Guo Xi's mind, so she could only change the subject and said: "Seeing that Jiaer has reached the age of weakness, Mr. Lang, do you still remember the words that the elder sister left for Jiaer before she passed away?"

Guo Xi pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "If there is no mistake, it should be the word 'Fengxiao'?"

Knowing the current turmoil, Wang knew that she and Guo Xi could not go to Luoyang to hold the coronation ceremony for Guo Jia. The letter conveyed that if the two of them could find someone with high morals and respect in Luoyang to crown him, that would be great.

The Wang family discussed the thoughts in their hearts with Guo Xi, and Guo Xi had no objection, and immediately handed over a letter to the post envoy to convey, while he focused on the family relocation.
