Chapter 245: Farewell
"My lord, in fact, I also came to say goodbye to you this time." Guo Jia still said bluntly as always.
Cao Ying and a few people in the audience were shocked when they heard this, "What?!" Bonghyo are you leaving?! ”
"Don't get excited, I'm just leaving temporarily, it shouldn't take much time. I heard that Zuo Cigong of Lujiang is good at alchemy and is said to be able to cure all kinds of diseases, so I want to come to the door to ask for advice. Guo Jia said with a plausible excuse.
However, in the eyes of Cao Ying, Xun Yu and others, Guo Jia has simply gone mad. What is the difference between Guo Jia's behavior and Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of immortality?! The pursuit of illusory and unrealistic things is already on the wrong path.
Cao Ying was worried that Guo Jia would be eaten by the so-called panacea, and Cao Ying was also worried that Guo Jia would be completely trapped for the sake of the heirs.
Look at Guo Jia, in such a not so good state today, he can put forward such an ingenious policy. Under normal circumstances, if you think about strategy in your head all day long, it should be even more powerful! Needless to say, Guo Jia's proportion in Cao Ying's mind is getting higher and higher, and Cao Ying is becoming more and more reluctant to Guo Jia.
Moreover, even if you don't talk about the distant story of Qin Shi Huang, in this era, there has just been a Yellow Turban Rebellion. Zhang Jiao is also a famous Taoist priest, and he also has a runic water that is claimed to be able to cure all diseases, what is the result?
So even if it is still a feudal society now, it still believes in ghosts and gods, but because Zhang Jiao "insulted" the sacred profession of Taoist priests, other Taoist priests who are rumored to be gods, including Taoist priests like Zuo Ci, are often regarded as demons, rather than real living immortals. Of course, ordinary people may still believe it, but the scholars are not so easy to deceive, especially for the rulers, even if it is true, these things that are too against the sky are also feared by them. Therefore, in history, Sun Ce wanted to kill Yu Ji, and Cao Ying wanted to kill Zuo Ci.
"Fengxiao, I have also heard of that Zuo Ci, and it is no different from Zhang Jiao at the beginning, this kind of person can't be trusted! I still think you should rest in peace, I'll help you find a miracle doctor to take care of it, if it really doesn't work, I'll pass Zhi'er to you, and from then on he will not be Cao Zhi, but Guo Zhi, or whatever you call it, he is your son! Cao Ying said seriously, and he couldn't care about any seniority issues in a hurry.
Moreover, just like Cao Ying said, once he is passed to Guo Jia, then Cao Zhi is Guo Jia's son, and he is no longer his Cao Ying's son, so it stands to reason that there is no generational problem. Of course, if possible, it is better to pass Cao Ang's son to Guo Jia. It's a pity that Cao Ang doesn't have a son now, even if he has it immediately, he can't pass on his eldest son to Guo Jia, right?
Therefore, in a hurry, Cao Zhi could only choose Cao Zhi, after all, only Cao Zhi was born not long ago and could teach Guo Jia to be his own heir from the beginning.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in ancient times, especially in front of us, isn't there a clear example? Cao Ying's father, Cao Song, was not the Xiahou family who passed on to the eunuch Cao Teng! The ancients were very serious in this regard, since it was passed on to others, that is, the descendants of others, look at Cao Ying's current name "Cao" Ying, it is already obvious. So if Cao Ying really succeeded Cao Zhi to Guo Jia, he would never go back in the future.
So seriously, at this moment, Guo Jia was almost tempted by Cao Ying, who is that? That's Cao Zhi! The other unknown sons Guo Jia don't take it to heart, but the gossipy Guo Jia probably doesn't take Cao Zhi to heart?
However, Guo Jia finally resisted the temptation and shook his head and refused, after all, Guo Jia can still try it now, what if it really returns to normal after finding Zuo Ci? No matter what kind of historical celebrity he is, other people's sons are definitely not as good as their own sons. And now if Guo Jia agrees to Cao Ying's proposal, will he still have a reason to leave? The reason why Cao Ying said such things was to not let Guo Jia go.
There are all men present, Guo Jia's mood can actually be understood by everyone, what Cao Ying hopes now is that Guo Jia had better not fall into it, if he finds that it can't be done by then, he can be decisive, and stop wasting his youth and talent in vain. Speaking of which, now that Guo Jia has married Cao Ying's daughter, if Guo Jia still has no heirs in the future, and really succeeds Cao Ying's son, Guo Jia's position in Cao Ying's camp is estimated to be so stable that no one can move.
However, Cao Ying still did not give up and persuaded again, "Fengxiao, it is too dangerous for you to go south this time, the south is not peaceful now, if you encounter some hostile forces again, the consequences will be unimaginable." I don't think it's like this, how about I send someone to help you find that Zuo Ci? Cao Ying said.
As a result, Guo Jia shook his head and refused on the grounds that he should sincerely visit a person like Zuo Cigong. Nonsense, this kind of thing as a traverser may be exposed at that time, even if it is known by a cultivator like Zuo Ci, it is estimated that it is not a big deal, Guo Jia doesn't want to make everyone know about it, so that everyone in the world will regard him as a heretic, a monster, and a demon.
"My lord, if this matter is not resolved, I have no intention of doing anything, even if I stay here, it will not help much, and it may even be counterproductive. As for the matter of going south, there is no need to hide it, and I can tell the whole world directly, just say that I, Guo Jia, have resigned from the government in order to seek a solution to personal matters and do not ask about the world. I, Guo Jia, am also a celebrity, and there are no hostile forces as a free man, so I don't think anyone will deal with me. Guo Jia looked at Cao Ying and said.
Cao Ying was slightly silent, but finally agreed to Guo Jia's request, and regardless of the dangers he might face, he took the initiative to let Dian Wei go with him as Guo Jia's bodyguard.
Cao Ying's decision moved Guo Jia again, Guo Jia was not moved by Cao Ying's help, but moved by Cao Ying's trust. After all, this kind of blatant resignation, Cao Ying is not afraid that Guo Jia will really not come back and go to others when the time comes? You must know that Guo Jia is not without a criminal record!
As for sending Dian Wei to spy on Guo Jia? Is it possible? Cao Ying is not a fool, he knows that Dian Wei was found by Guo Jia! In this way, he also sent Dian Wei to protect Guo Jia, that is, the real protection that did not make Guo Jia suspicious. Originally, Cao Ying could also let Zhao Yun go, but in this relatively stable period, Cao Ying obviously needed Zhao Yun more, so he could only send Dian Wei.
And not only is it impossible for Dian Wei to spy on Guo Jia, if Guo Jia really wants to leave, maybe he can still pull Dian Wei with him. Therefore, Cao Ying's ability to take such a big risk to make such a move is an expression of absolute concern and trust for Guo Jia, which is far from being comparable to Yuan Shao and his ilk!
Seriously, in the face of such a Cao Ying, Guo Jia is a little embarrassed to think about being that "Sima Yi" anymore. At least from this moment, it seems that in Cao Ying's "lifetime", Guo Jia is estimated that he will never "take the initiative" to rebel against Cao Ying.
