In fact, Guo Jia also knew very well that this was definitely not Cao Cao deliberately putting him Guo Jia on the fire to roast. Seriously, this vacant position was originally what Cao Cao wanted to be, as a springboard, just like Dong Zhuo at the beginning. And in history, Cao Cao did receive this position. But the problem now is that Guo Jia used to be commonplace. The reason why he was removed was the reason why Guo Jia was anti-Dong. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Emperor Xian has been welcomed here, Cao Cao has no reason not to restore Guo Jia to this vacant position.

That's right, in Cao Ying, Guo Jia and Xun Yu's ranks are indeed the same. But now, can Cao Cao still look at the problem purely from Cao Ying's point of view? Obviously impossible! Just like Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others before, do those guys have a status in Cao Ying? There is no status at all! But Cao Cao still unceremoniously gave those people the title of liehou.

Judging from the rank of the title, he is on an equal footing with him Cao Cao, and he doesn't know where it is higher than Guo Jia and others. This is the arrangement made by Cao Cao with the whole overall situation. Originally, there was no problem at all in dealing with it in this way, because the people on both sides were irrelevant and knew it. No one in Cao Ying would be jealous of Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and other guys because of this.

But in this, there is such a special situation as Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia is not very old, he has been active longer than anyone else. In other words, Guo Jia is partly from Cao Ying's side, but some of them are similar to Fu Wan and others. Therefore, restoring Guo Jia's vacant position is actually the same as giving Fu Wan and others the title of marquis. But because Guo Jia happens to be an important figure in Cao Ying, he will become embarrassed and sensitive.

Since Cao Cao has no reason not to restore Guo Jia to this vacant position, it is a helpless move. Cao Cao had to do the same. Put Guo Jia on the fire and roast it on the fire, Cao Cao believes that most reasonable people. You should be able to understand such a relationship. However, since restoring Guo Jia's position as a vacant person has already caused sensitive issues, Cao Cao naturally does not dare to give Guo Jia more rewards. so as not to add fuel to the fire.

This also led to the fact that Guo Jia's part on Cao Ying's side actually had no reward at all. In this way, there are "grievances" before the emperor. Of course, Guo Jia can see the truth in this clearly, and Cao Cao also specially came to talk to Guo Jia about this issue, there is no misunderstanding between Guo Jia and Cao Cao, and it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Xian to use this to separate Guo Jia and Cao Cao.

But. Although the discord is not successful, the temptation is not false at all. Moreover, the reason why Guo Jia appeared here was that he had something to ask Emperor Xian for help.

"Huh!" Emperor Xian waved his hand and interrupted Guo Jia's words, "Guo Aiqing's words are wrong. Aiqing's credit is credit, really, how can it be cut because of age?! At that time, Huo Quai, only seventeen years old, was appointed by Emperor Wu as the captain of Bi Yao. Accompanied the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns. With the light brave cavalry 800 straight abandoned the army for hundreds of miles to Li, beheading the captives too much. Champion of the whole army, awarded the title of champion Hou. If you are less than twenty, you are already a marquis of ten thousand households! And Guo Aiqing seems to be in her twenties now. You're nearly thirty, right? Emperor Xian said.

In fact, Guo Jia is only twenty-seven years old this year, and he is still young, of course. This is from Guo Jia's modern point of view, but. Guo Jiake did not dare to refute Emperor Xian on this issue. Guo Jia could only bow and say,

"Your Majesty has won the prize. How can Xia Guan compare with Marquis Jing Huan! ”

"Haha! Guo Aiqing doesn't need to be modest, in my opinion, Aiqing is not necessarily worse than Marquis Jing Huan! Emperor Xian smiled, said, and pretended to mutter for a while, "Well, but Aiqing's position in this space is indeed not low now, and no matter how high it is, I am afraid it will surpass General Cao." But I still think that I can reward you Guo Aiqing from other aspects. Emperor Xian hinted that in connection with the previous example of Huo Quai's illness raised by Emperor Xian, Emperor Xian's intention to give Guo Jia a knighthood has been very obvious.

But if that happens, Guo Jiake will not just roast on the fire! Cao Cao's excessive reward of Guo Jia will only make a small number of people in Cao's camp red-eyed. But if Emperor Xian rewards Guo Jia, this nature will suddenly become different, it can be said that most of the people in Cao Ying, even Cao Cao, will doubt whether Guo Jia will be bought by Emperor Xian, and will go directly to Emperor Xian's side.

Maybe scheming people like Cao Cao and Xun Yu will not show it no matter how much they doubt in their hearts. But those generals are often more irritable, and like the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, they are all Cao Cao's diehard descendants. Once these people decide that Guo Jia betrayed Cao Cao and took refuge in Emperor Xian, they will never give Guo Jia a good look. In this way, the momentum and fame that Guo Jiaxin worked so hard to build up in Cao Ying will soon disappear. Except for people with true temperaments like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, it is estimated that even Yu Ban will not get too close to Guo Jia again.

So, Guo Jia immediately refused,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! However, Xia Guan really doesn't need any reward, just because His Majesty values it, it has already made Xia Guan Cheng afraid, for fear that there will be something that will not be good enough, so that His Majesty will not be satisfied. ”

Emperor Xian thought about it, too, he had just come to Xu County, so it was better not to overdo things. Picking too clear words and rushing to achieve results often has the opposite effect. Moreover, Emperor Xian still believes in Cao Cao now, if he directly digs Cao Cao's corner like this, what will Cao Cao think at that time?

In case Cao Cao was originally ready to delegate power, because of this kind of thing, he felt uncomfortable, and even worried that he would "fly all the birds and cook the lackeys" in the future, but he was finally unwilling to delegate power. Didn't he put the cart before the horse and dig his own grave when he offered the emperor!

Therefore, now it is enough to show Guo Jia a good attitude and win over him, first establish a relatively good relationship, and if there is really something wrong in the future, it is not too late to dig up the wall completely.

"Haha! If all officials can be like Guo Aiqing, then I don't have to worry so much about this world. However, I have always been rewarded for merit and punished for guilt. Well, that's it, Guo Aiqing, if you have anything to want, tell me directly, I will definitely be satisfied with you! Emperor Xian said quite arrogantly, this emperor is really not a mediocre person, if he changes at another time, maybe he can really become a generation of Ming Jun.

The so-called Jun has no jokes, since Emperor Xian has already said that he will reward Guo Jia, it must be rewarded. And Emperor Xian said so arrogantly, sure enough, he has the momentum of the lord of the world, the whole world is his, what else can't satisfy you, just open your mouth!

But in fact, Emperor Xian handed over the choice to Guo Jia, with the current situation, Guo Jia not only absolutely impossible to make any excessive requests, so that Emperor Xian was embarrassed, Guo Jia would even only propose a very small reward, so that Emperor Xian would mean it. After that, Emperor Xian pretended to be a pity again, but Jun didn't joke, since Guo Jiadu said so, then so be it, but next time it must not be like this again. In this way, both of them can find steps to go down, and Emperor Xian still went down the steps quite domineeringly. (To be continued......)
