Chapter 119: Early Dynasty
Of course, Guo Jia also has a valid reason, he is too sick to walk.
Speaking of which, now that Dong Zhuo is not here, Taifu Yuan Kui has also been cut by Dong Zhuo, even if he doesn't talk about the actual control, in terms of this official position alone, Guo Jia is qualified to rank first.
However, just like Guo Jia said at the beginning, the ancients, if you don't be modest and excuse yourself two or three times, you are embarrassed.
So, Guo Jia said to Situ Wang Yun next to him, "Lord Situ, you are old, you should be in front." β
"No, no, no, Lord Guo laughed, this position Lord Guo is the best one!" Wang Yun hurriedly shook his head and said, just kidding, even if he doesn't know Guo Jia, he can see what Guo Jia's true thoughts are at this time.
"Lord Situ is really too polite."
Saying that, Guo Jia turned to Cai Yong over there again, "Father-in-law, you have a high seniority, you should be in front." β
The corners of Cai Yong's mouth twitched, he can be said to be the person who knows Guo Jia best on the scene, and besides, you said that he was a person, how dare he compete for a position with a group of powerful people, and hurriedly replied, "Lord Guo, in the officialdom, everyone has no family affection, let alone seniority. Don't excuse yourself. β
"Oh, you say, cough, cough, yes, I'm really scared." Guo Jia shook his head and sighed, "I am young, my qualifications are low, and I am not a good learner, but now I am in this big responsibility, if there is anything wrong, please take care of it." β
Then, Guo Jia led the hundred officials into the palace, as soon as he raised his feet, his body shook, and Wang Yun, who was closely behind, immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to support Guo Jia. I don't know how many people sigh in their hearts when they see this situation.
Let's not talk about Guo Jia, a young man, who needs an old man like Wang Yun to support him; doesn't say that Guo Jia is so young, and without a few credits that can be spoken, he can rank first among the hundred officials; Just saying that Guo Jia, as a person under Dong Zhuo, can be so pretending to be powerful, how corrupt the Han family is, and how domineering Dong Zhuo is, isn't it enough to sigh.
However, only Guo Jia knew at the scene, and Wang Yun, the old man, once again started to think carefully. Hey, this Situ Wang Yun is too loyal to the Han family, it's just a needle, and he won't stop for a moment!
Waiting for the hundred officials to line up, after a while, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty came. Although Emperor Liu Xie is younger than the Young Emperor Liu Wei, after all, he was raised by the palace family, and his posture and bearing are more like the emperor.
After leveling down, Guo Jia looked up at the dragon seat, and it happened that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty also looked over, and the two glanced at each other, and Emperor Xian hurriedly looked away. Obviously, compared with Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, who was closed to the news, Emperor Liu Xie knew very well that Guo Jia was on Dong Zhuo's side, and he had already decided that Guo Jia was a big Han figure.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
In the palace, all the officials lowered their heads, and no one played. In fact, this is already the case in normal times, and the early dynasty here has long existed in name only, and it is almost just a formality. Usually only when Dong Zhuo has something important to say, will he say it in the morning.
Usually, all those big and small matters are decided by Dong Zhuo's camp, and they will not be discussed at all in the morning.
Seeing that it was still the same as usual, no one spoke, and the young Emperor Han Xian didn't know what to think in his heart, but he was in a bad mood. So he didn't say anything, but suddenly stood up again, and said something indecent, that is, the chair was not yet hot.
The hundred officials were about to send Emperor Xian away, Guo Jia suddenly coughed and stepped forward, "Ahem, the minister has something to do." β
The audience was stunned, especially those ministers, who were nervous one by one, who knows if Guo Jia was ordered by Dong Zhuo to say which ministers had collusion with the Kwantung bandits, and then dragged them out and beheaded something.
You must know that yesterday Yuan Kui and others were all killed by Dong Zhuo, and after all, the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, and there are definitely not a few people who have something to do with Yuan Kui present. For a time, the ministers were all in danger.
Emperor Han Xian, who was above, sat back in his chair and asked, "What's going on?" β
Of course, Guo Jia doesn't have anything to start, he is just simply unhappy. You said that he came to the morning court with great interest, and finally he was able to fake the tiger and experience the unique feeling of "one person under ten thousand people", if he didn't say anything, it would be over. Are you kidding! Then Guo Jia might as well not get up at all, and talk to Diao Chan in the warm quilt!
"What the minister wants to start is the fact that no one in this hall has started to play!" Guo Jia stepped forward and said.
"Oh?" Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to say this, of course, not only Emperor Xian, but also the other ministers were obviously taken aback.
Situ Wangyun's eyes lit up, isn't it, Guo Jia has already made up his mind to oppose Dong? So he wants to use this situation to accuse Dong Zhuo of blocking the government?!
Guo Jia turned around slightly, faced the hundred officials, and asked loudly, "Everyone, is it true that the world is peaceful now, the country and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth, and there is nothing important to report?!" β
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Guo Jia continued, "Even if it is really as I said, where is the harvest, where is the auspicious omen, haven't these things been reported?!" β
For a while, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was a little excited, could it be that this Guo Jia is really a loyal minister? !
It's a pity, among the officials who can be above this hall, which one is not an old and cunning person, especially able to survive in the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and the rebellion of Dong Zhuo until now, which one is not careful?
These guys, who knows what Guo Jia's true meaning is? What if Guo Jia wanted to use this method to eliminate dissidents? If someone is really stupid enough to run out and start playing, maybe he will be the next Yuan Kui. In this case, you must not be a bird.
For a full minute, no one stepped forward to play, and Emperor Han Xian on the dragon chair couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said disheartenedly, "Retreat from the dynasty." β
At this time, Guo Jia also felt disheartened, hey, it's really not interesting at all, even if it's a trivial matter, you can talk about it, it's better to watch Xun Yu's judgment on the side now.
So, Guo Jia didn't say more, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." β
"Lord Guo, Lord Guo." Sure enough, when leaving, Wang Yun took the initiative to find Guo Jia.
"Lord Situ, is there something wrong?" Guo Jia said helplessly.
Wang Yun pulled Guo Jia aside, looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered, "Lord Guo, this is a great opportunity!" β
Guo Jia blinked and continued to pretend to be stupid, "What kind of good opportunity is Lord Situ talking about?" How I don't know. β
Wang Yun had long been accustomed to Guo Jia's style, and he didn't pay attention to Guo Jia's pretending to be crazy and stupid, and said directly, "Lord Guo doesn't have to do anything at all, just close the city gate when Dong Zhuo returns from defeat, and don't let them enter the city!" β
Guo Jia sneered, Wang Yun, the old man, is too naΓ―ve. If he could really do this, Guo Jia wouldn't do it himself.
