Chapter 89: Becoming a Great Official
After the vignette, Dong Zhuo successfully deposed the young emperor and demoted him to the king of Hongnong; In addition, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was appointed as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Since then, under Dong Zhuo's command, it has been a big celebration, and it has been promoted to make a fortune, and for a while, the limelight is no different......
"Li Ru, your sister! Trick me again!! ”
At home, taking advantage of the absence of outsiders, Guo Jia vented his depression!
After the change of the emperor, Dong Zhuo unceremoniously promoted himself to the rank of lieutenant and became one of the three dukes, in charge of all [***] affairs and the affairs of the former generals, and then proclaimed himself the marquis, worshiped the prime minister, jumped to the head of the three dukes, held the power of the prime minister, and enjoyed the privileges of "praising and worshipping the name, entering the dynasty and not tending to the court, and going to the palace with a sword".
The so-called one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, Dong Sikong became Dong Xiangguo, Dong Zhuo's clan, and these subordinate heroes, if you don't just rise to two or three levels, you are embarrassed to go outside and tell people that you are messing with Dong Zhuo.
For example, Dong Zhuo's mother was named Chiyang Jun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, and her status was equivalent to that of a royal princess. At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as the general of the left and was named the Marquis. even named his young granddaughter as Yang Jun.
Guo Jia was naturally promoted and made a fortune, and in addition to these Dong Zhuo's relatives, the most beautiful on the surface, the most valued by Dong Zhuo, the most powerful, the most obvious, and the most thought-provoking is a young man like Guo Jia!
Guo Jia hasn't checked the file, but it is estimated that he has already broken the record, the youngest Sikong in history or something.
That's right! Dong Zhuo became a lieutenant, joined the third duke, and became Xiangguo, so his position as a springboard was vacated. And Guo Jia has now become the next Sikong after Dong Zhuo!
It's amazing, if this is placed in modern times, Guo Jia may be the next national leader! Even now, it's a no-brainer. At least it can be seen that Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to Guo Jia.
Sikong, second to the third duke, is equivalent to the six qing, and Sima, Sikou, Sishi, and Situ are called the five senses. And it is still in charge of water conservancy and construction, which is real estate development, not only in modern times, but also in any era. Moreover, in terms of official position, Guo Jia is now on an equal footing with the old man Situ Wang Yun!
No matter from which point of view, they are all promoted to big officials and made a lot of money, it stands to reason that Guo Jia should also be satisfied, just like Zhang Rang's old eunuch said at the beginning, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!
But is it a time of peace? Guo Jia and Wang Yun are on an equal footing, which sounds very powerful, but on the other hand, Guo Jia is still slaughtered like Wang Yun!
That's right, as an important figure under Dong Zhuo, as the chief planner of the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a separate incident, forcing Yuan Shao away, recruiting Cao Ying, and killing Ding Yuan, Guo Jia still doesn't have any military power now?!
You must know that Li Su guy just persuaded Lu Bu to surrender and achieved a link in the whole incident, and now he has become the general of the tiger ben, and he is the current boss of Yuanzi.
Originally, Guo Jia thought to himself, since Li Su can take Yuan Shu's previous position, and Guo Yuan can also take the previous position of Yan Liang, then how can he also take Yuan Shao's previous position and become the new Sili Lieutenant!
As a result, Guo Jia is now in the position of a civil official who has come down from Dong Zhuokong, needless to say, there must be Li Ru behind this! Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have been so well arranged.
Anyway, Guo Jia can't find anything to say now, but he is very depressed. And Lu Bu's arrival really increased the pressure on Guo Jia!
······
After becoming a big official, the most headache for Guo Jia every day is to go to the morning court. After all, the time of the early dynasty is often determined according to the emperor's living time, so the ministers outside the palace have to go to the palace to go to the early court, and they have to get up very early every day.
Fortunately, in ancient times, night activities were not abundant, and Guo Jia is now unmarried, and he goes to bed almost early every day, so he can't get up. But even so, Guo Jia is also looking for all kinds of excuses, he can hide if he can, anyway, it is Dong Zhuo who is in charge now, and it is impossible to do anything to him.
Of course, the early dynasty can not go, but after the internal meeting of Dong Zhuo's army, Guo Jia cannot be easily absent.
On this day, some time before the internal meeting began, Guo Jia happened to meet Li Ru, and the two had nothing to do, so they naturally wanted to talk.
"Master Guo, there is something that Li Ru has always wanted to ask." Li Ru opened his mouth and said.
"Oh? It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to an adult about. Guo Jia said, his eyes rolling, "It's better like this, let's write down what we want to say in our hearts and hand it to each other to see if what we say is the same thing." Guo Jia suggested.
Li Ru was slightly stunned, probably didn't expect Guo Jia to make it so complicated to say something, but anyway, now that he has free time, Li Ru nodded and agreed,
"Interesting."
Then the two wrote their heartfelt words on the bamboo slips, and then handed them over to each other at the same time.
Li Ru opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned, not understanding what Guo Jia meant.
I saw that there was only one word on Guo Jia's bamboo slip - fire.
"What does Lord Guo mean?" Li Ru asked.
Guo Jia blinked innocently and replied,
"I just want to say it's dry, be careful with the candle." Then he opened Li Ru's bamboo slip, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "Oh, Lord Li Ru seems to have a misunderstanding of Zaixia!" ”
Li Ru was secretly fooled, Guo Jia was obviously tricking him. But Li Ru was going to say this, Guo Jia actually wanted to make such a little trick, and he didn't know if he was a natural conspirator or just a fun-loving person.
"Since that's the case, then I'll just say it if I have something to say, Lord Guo seems to hate me Li Ru very much?" Li Ru said directly.
"Why did Lord Li say this?!" Guo Jia asked with a surprised expression.
"Lord Guo is young, full of talent, and his ambitions are higher than the sky, he wants to be promoted quickly, but there is always a person named Li Ru above who is not moving, it must be very eye-catching!" Li Ru said straight to the point.
Guo Jia's eyes narrowed, and he said directly,
"I think Master Li is talented, as a newcomer, he is said to be valued by the lord, and he has risen rapidly at the speed of threatening your status, I seem to be in the way of the eyes!"
"Haha, Lord Guo obviously misunderstood, with the efforts of Lord Guo, the great cause of the lord is thriving, I am too late to be happy, how can I think that Lord Guo is an eyesore." Li Ru suddenly laughed.
Guo Jia also laughed,
"Haha, then Lord Li obviously misunderstood, just like there will be three positions in the third duke, I never thought that there was anything in the way, but I always felt that Lord Li was a mentor and helpful friend!"
"It's so good, now that the misunderstanding has been clarified in person, I feel a lot more comfortable."
"There's no misunderstanding, haha!"
Sure enough, many things are not so simple to solve, Li Ru originally thought that if he put it bluntly, everyone could see each other honestly, and the tension could be relieved to some extent. I didn't think about it, and Guo Jia didn't mean to put it in my heart at all. It seems that in a short period of time, it is impossible for the two to cooperate intimately!
