Chapter 230
, Canonization (1)
General Tianwei?
Ma Chao recited it silently in his mind several times and found that he liked this name quite a lot, as if this title was born for him.
"Thank you, military advisor, for the name."
Guo Jia was shocked, gave him a name?
Doesn’t Ma Chao still have this title at this time?
But he quickly regained his composure.
"I believe Meng Qi's name has spread far and wide, which is enough to intimidate the Hulu."
"That's right, my brother is invincible." When Ma Yunlu heard his man praising his brother, he immediately beamed with joy and agreed in a sweet voice.
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing. Ma Chao's martial arts were indeed superb and he was a well-deserved first-class warrior. However, he was not necessarily invincible.
Ma Chao corrected him: "Yunlu, don't talk nonsense, there are so many heroes in the world."
Before leaving Xiliang, he thought that his martial arts skills were unmatched. However, after joining Liu Bei's camp, he found that he was not ranked.
Not to mention Guan Yu who was far away in Bingzhou, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in Chang'an, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong in the army were not his match.
Since they were both strong generals in the world, since they had met, they would naturally be happy to see Lie Xin and have a discussion. However, whether they faced Dian Wei or Huang Zhong, they both ended in failure, which severely damaged Ma Chao's self-confidence.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Ma Chao is still young and his martial arts and strength have not yet been refined to their peak.
When both sides reach their peak condition, it will be difficult to determine the winner between the top warriors, unless it is a life and death fight.
Ma Yunlu was still unconvinced: "My brother's martial arts skills are by no means worse than anyone else."
Ma Chao wanted to say more, but Guo Jia raised his hand to stop him.
"It's just my sister's admiration for her brother. There's no need to dwell on it."
Ma Chao thought about it and felt a little relieved that this sister's pain was not in vain.
Ma Yunlu thought to himself: My parents Xinhou is also very powerful.
…
After half a month, the army returned to Chang'an. Liu Bei personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. The scene was extremely spectacular. At the same time, he once again proved one thing, he was building momentum for Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao has worked hard all the way. The emperor has hosted a banquet in the palace to reward the soldiers of the Western Expedition."
As soon as Guo Jia got off the carriage, he saw Liu Bei coming towards him. He couldn't help but hold Guo Jia's arm and walk towards his carriage.
Obviously, he wanted to invite Guo Jia to ride in the same car.
Guo Jia was a little flattered and whispered: "My lord, I'm afraid this move is unreasonable."
Liu Bei laughed: "Does Fengxiao also care about Dharma?"
Guo Jia was immediately speechless.
After the two got on the carriage, the carriage began to drive towards the city.
Liu Bei suddenly said: "To this day, Fengxiao, don't you understand? Your status in Bei's heart is no less than that of the second and third brothers."
Whether he is showing his true feelings or trying to win people's hearts, Liu Bei's face is very solemn and his tone is particularly sincere.
Guo Jia felt a little emotional, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your love."
"Now that the position of the three princes is vacant, I would like to offer you the position of Taiwei in return for helping you all the way. I hope you will not refuse." Liu Bei got straight to the point and made it clear what he was thinking.
At the same time, my mind couldn't help but return to that snowy night a few years ago.
Looking back now, in addition to feeling a lot of emotion, I also find it a bit funny.
At that time, Guo Fengxiao was with his current royal wife, who was the Tofu Xishi at that time, but the three brothers were waiting in the ice and snow, starving and freezing.
Now that I think about it, this move was somewhat of an attempt to catch an adulterer.
However, the facts proved that this decision was correct. After Guo Jia took him as his master, he not only made a clear blueprint for the future, but also created many priceless treasures during this period.
Such as the Iron Buddha, the Three Treasures of Horses, the brewing formula... and the gunpowder that is being studied.
Liu Bei is not a mediocre king, and he has never believed Guo Jia's excuses. These things are definitely not created by the old immortal, he is just a filial piety bearer.
Liu Bei just didn't want to point it out, because the ultimate beneficiary of these things was him. If Guo Jia didn't say anything, he wouldn't break the casserole and ask the truth.
In addition, Guo Jia in this life is different from his previous life, but these are no longer important.
He is God, or a strange man sent by Emperor Gaozu to help him unify the world!
Guo Jia pondered and said: "Prime Minister, I am still relatively young in qualifications. Being in the position of one of the Three Dukes may cause rumors."
"So what? The merits of filial piety are known all over the world, so a few rumors are of no concern."
"We might as well let Master Lu take the post first. Master Lu is famous all over the world and has the ability to pacify the Yellow Turbans. Both his qualifications and merits are more than enough."
The so-called Master Lu is Lu Zhi, Liu Bei’s mentor.
Guo Jia once thought about going to Lu Zhi secretly and recommending him to the post of Taiwei. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this method was not feasible.
Lu Zhi had a strong temperament, just like Liu Bei's student. If he knew that Liu Bei had intentionally awarded the post of Taiwei to Guo Jia, he would definitely not accept it. He might even think that Guo Jia was insulting his character and send someone to take it.
He typed it out.
How could a great scholar of his generation accept the position given to him by his descendants?
Liu Bei smiled and said: "I am very pleased that the military advisor did not go to the teacher in private, but confessed to me."
Guo Jia thought: I originally wanted to do this, but your teacher's character did not support my doing so.
Liu Bei said again: "Don't worry, I have other plans for the teacher."
"Could it be?"
"Wang Yun, after Yuan Wei's death, the position of the Three Dukes has been vacant for a long time. Naturally, it needs someone with high moral character and respect to take over."
Guo Jia immediately understood and knew that Liu Bei was going to reset the Three Dukes at once. Moreover, he was afraid that he would never be able to escape the position of Taiwei.
Is Lu Zhi Sikong or Situ?
Whose is the other position?
Thinking of the Battle of Chang'an, Guo Jia quickly came up with the answer.
As expected, this person should be Yang Biao.
Even if Liu Bei is now subordinate to one person and above ten thousand people, he cannot do whatever he wants in terms of official position, otherwise he will be suspected of dominating the court.
Guo Jia is one of our own, so it is reasonable to push him forward.
However, he could not occupy the position of the three princes in one go.
Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's teacher and has a great reputation among scholars. No one will object if he is promoted.
As for Yang Biao, since the fall of Yuan Wei, the influence of the Yuan family in the central government has plummeted. Today, the position of the first family in the court has become that of the Hongnong Yang family.
Moreover, the Yang family made great contributions in the Battle of Chang'an, helping Lu Bu and Xu Huang invade Chang'an, and played a key role in defeating Dong Zhuo. They should be generously rewarded both emotionally and rationally.
"Fengxiao, go back and prepare well. Tonight I want to make a large number of ministers, so I won't come back until I'm drunk."
At that time, they had arrived at Guo Jia's Marquis Mansion, and the car stopped in front of the mansion. Guo Jia was about to get out of the car when he heard Liu Bei speak straight to the point again.
Through the battles in the past few years, many people have accumulated military merits, and it is time to enthrone them on a large scale.
