During this time, Dong Zhuo's internal discussions were nothing more than the distribution of benefits after the abolition of the emperor, and the placement of the deposed young emperor, that is, the current King Hongnong, and He Jin's sister Empress Dowager He.

Guo Jia naturally still argues with Li Ru from time to time and competes against each other. First, it is to strive for more benefits for himself; Second, it also gives others an illusion. Now, whether in the eyes of Dong Zhuo or Li Ru, Guo Jia, who is working so hard to climb up, and even exaggeratedly, Guo Jia, who has to fight for even a pair of underwear, will not be like the kind of person who takes the initiative to run away!

Taking the initiative to throw away everything that has been earned so hard, something that a saint may not be able to do, no one would think that a young man like Guo Jia can do it.

So Guo Jia now wants everything like a stunned young man, but it makes people feel as if it should be so, and there won't be much suspicion. If Guo Jia is also like Jia Xu, very low-key and does not fight for anything, most people will think that he is secretly conspiring.

At the meeting, Li Ru deserved to be a famous poisoner, and he did not shy away from proposing that in order to prevent future troubles, King Hongnong and Empress Dowager He should all be killed, which can not only give the entire court a huge deterrent, but also prevent someone from secretly using the former young emperor to make trouble.

And Guo Jia, who chose to work against Li Ru, naturally opposed this, of course, not completely opposed, just like Guo Tu taught him at the beginning, on some very clear issues, he must stand on the right side! Therefore, Guo Jia proposed that Empress Dowager He could be killed, because it was completely possible to find suitable reasons such as assassinating Empress Dowager Dong to kill, but King Hongnong could never be killed, and it was easy to provoke too much resistance. If you want to deter the minister, it is enough to kill a Empress Dowager He. As for King Hongnong, put him under house arrest and prevent him from coming into contact with outsiders.

As a result, in the end, nothing was decided on the meeting. In fact, this is also normal, such a big event, how can you make such a hasty decision. Besides, if everything can be decided so decisively, then Guo Jia and the others will soon not be able to find an issue, so will they come to drink tea and chat every day? Just like sometimes going to the morning court, everyone gets up early in the morning, lines up neatly, kowtows flat, and after a series of complicated etiquette, wait until the eunuch says, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat", and then retreat from the court......

After the meeting, Guo Jia directly found Jia Xu,

"Master Jia, how about we go have a drink together?"

Jia Xu's eyelids jumped, and he glanced at Li Ru, who was still not far away, he didn't expect Guo Jia to find him so unscrupulously, Jia Xu bowed slightly, and said,

"Thank you Lord Guo for your kindness, there are still things to deal with at home, if Lord Guo has anything to say, just say it here."

"That's a pity." Guo Jia sighed, and when Jia Xu thought that Guo Jia was not going to say any more, Guo Jia suddenly raised his head and said straight to the point, "How about Master Jia and I work together?!" ”

"Oh?"

"As far as I know, Master Jia is a very smart person who knows the times very well, can't you see that I have great potential?" Guo Jia said without blushing.

Jia Xu lowered his head slightly and replied,

"It is natural to see that Lord Guo has unlimited potential, but if Lord Guo really understands it, he should know that it is impossible to support either side at this time."

What Jia Xu is looking for is not so much the way to promotion, but the way to survive. In the past, there was only one Li Ru, and Jia Xu naturally mixed with Li Ru; Now that Li Ru and Guo Jia are fighting, Guo Jia is not the kind of person who hits a stone with an egg, Jia Xu naturally wants to remain neutral and not help each other.

"It's a shame. Haha, Master Jia, then I can only invite you to drink next time! Guo Jia smiled and walked away quite freely, as if what he had just talked to Jia Xu about was just some trivial family matters like firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Jia Xu was not surprised by Guo Jia's current performance, because the moment Guo Jia found him just now, Jia Xu knew that Guo Jia did not really intend to win him over, or he would not have been able to find him in front of Li Ru. So Jia Xu directly rejected Guo Jia's wooing, and Guo Jiacai was not disappointed at all.

Guo Jia's purpose is very simple, that is, to determine Jia Xu's neutral status. Jia Xu used to be on Li Ru's side, but now he has become neutral, and under the ups and downs, Guo Jia naturally earned it.

And Li Ru is also very clear about Jia Xu's surname, Guo Jia did not shy away from finding Jia Xu, on the surface he was very upright, but he deliberately let Li Ru see all this, how Li Ru still doesn't understand now, Jia Xu is no longer on his side.

Although Li Ru also knows very well that Jia Xu will not take refuge in Guo Jia, if there is anything in the future, especially about Guo Jia, Li Ru will no longer go to Jia Xu to discuss!

Even the wise can make mistakes. No matter how smart a person is, his thinking has limitations. Guo Jia faced Li Ru, who did not have Jia Xu's help, and gradually ceased to be passive.

Jia Xu signaled slightly to Li Ru over there, and also turned to leave, Guo Jia is young, he has such a skill, and he is not under Li Ru, which strengthens Jia Xu's neutrality.

・・・・・・

"Young Master, won't you have a problem fighting that Li Ru like this?" Ming'er's little maid asked with some concern. Isn't it always the most intolerable for subordinates to disagree, form gangs, and engage in infighting?

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and asked instead,

"Are you sure I'm fighting with Li Ru?"

"Isn't it?" Ming'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an amazing idea, could it be that the young master and Li Ru were singing double reeds and deliberately acting for others to see? !

Guo Jia touched Ming'er's head,

"You think too much, I haven't discussed it with Li Ru, let alone any cooperation. That's right, the higher authorities really don't want to see their men fighting among themselves; But any smart person in power wants his subordinates to fight among themselves. So, the lord is not so easy to be. Or, have the absolute wisdom to know people, choose a henchman who is capable, and will never rebel to give everything; Either you can only try to balance your subordinates and control their rights so as not to threaten their position, but you can't let them really make trouble. ”

The smart Ming'er reacted immediately,

"So it's okay to fight a little bit, but it's not okay to fight too hard."

Guo Jia shook his head and corrected,

"I already said just now, Li Ru and I are not fighting at all! Have you seen that I have done anything to attack Li Ru? Now he and I can only be regarded as having different political views at work, and there is no interest entanglement in private. Therefore, it can only be said that we are a competition of good surnames, not a malicious battle! The current situation is exactly what Dong Zhuo wants to see, so Li Ru will not stupidly run to attack the young master. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia himself was a little proud, because this was definitely unintentional, at least Guo Jia never had such an idea at the beginning. Of course, if it were now, if Guo Jia said it in his own mouth, it would naturally be calculated by him a long time ago! ~
