"Regardless of one's insignificance and complaining in public, always cherish and endure hardships to survive."
Taiwei Zhu Jun was so angry that he had an argument with General Dong Cheng, and because of the cold wind blowing by the Cang Pond, he immediately fell unconscious and became ill. This even alarmed the emperor, and Dong Cheng was frightened. , repeatedly apologized, and took the initiative to send people to Zhu Jun's house to visit and apologize, and this was the end.
"Go and tell Du Zhi that Duke Zhu doesn't see anyone else now. Even if he recovers from his illness, it's not uncommon for General Hussar to come and show his concern!" Du Xi, the Taiwei Tun Cao Tuo, was sitting upright on the couch, facing the subordinates with a cold expression. He ordered: "Take back all the things he gave me!"
"Hey." Commander Shi Guojia, who was sitting opposite, spoke at this time: "Although the person is unbearable, what's wrong with the things he sent? Just keep them."
After Zhu Jun fell ill, his son Zhu Haoyuan was unable to make it back to Nanyang for a while. In order to take care of his daily life, these subordinates under his command often came to visit. Here was Guo Jia, the eldest son with a long history, and the old heads of the Zhu family looked at Du Xi. Although he was hesitant, he didn't say anything, so he acquiesced to Guo Jia's idea, went to the door to collect the things Dong Cheng asked Du Zhi to send, and persuaded the people to leave.
After seeing the people leave, Du Xiangqi said in a still calm voice: "Dong Cheng, a common man, made Duke Ming so angry, but the country did not blame him. Is this a royal law? Now all the ministers in the dynasty are complaining about Duke Ming. , Dong Cheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake because of the situation. If we accepted his gift without permission, doesn't it mean that we want to ease the relationship with him? When Ming Gong finds out after he wakes up, I'm afraid he will be angry again! "
Guo Jia lost his usual playful smile at this time. He became serious for a moment, and his serious look made Du Xi not used to it: "All the ministers in the court are complaining about injustice? Why? Who is really complaining about Zhu Gong, and who is really complaining about it? Who wants to take this opportunity to stir up trouble and make the matter bigger so as to force Dong Cheng and even His Majesty to give in... As long as Dong admits his mistake and pleads guilty, then Guan Gong will naturally be released from prison."
"What does this have to do with Guan Gong's affairs?" Du Xi was stunned.
"Don't even look at what caused this matter!" Guo Jia started to push the case, moving on the spot a little irritably: "Because of the official affairs, Ming Gong went to argue with Dong Cheng, and was thus punished. I'm so angry that I'm fainting. Right now, everyone is criticizing Dong Cheng for something, trying to get him to plead guilty so that he can be exonerated... But in all of this, who really cares about Ming Gong's safety!"
"I don't know what you are thinking." Du Xi was slightly uneasy. Maybe he should not have acquiesced to the other party to keep the apology sent by Du Zhi. Maybe Guo Jia was not completely towards Zhu Jun. He suddenly became anxious in his heart. When he was in charge of The Luoyang Order was deposed because he accidentally participated in the construction of the Luoyang Palace and the campaign to move the capital. If Zhu Jun hadn't appreciated his ability to govern the people and interceded with the emperor, where would he be today? No matter what Guo Jia is at the moment. Which side do you stand on? Although Du Xi is from Yingchuan, he also knows the "righteousness of monarch and minister". He has to consider Zhu Jun!
"Even if these people have other intentions, as long as they can make Dong Cheng admit his crime, what does it matter?" Du Xi looked at Guo Jia, who was walking around in the same place, seemingly full of worries, and said plausibly: "Not to mention Guan Gong I just talked about Liu's origins in the article. This is proof from ancient times. How can I criticize and make false claims? Isn't it a matter of excluding the explanation afterwards and making Dong Cheng bow his head? Isn't this a matter for the people of the world to celebrate?"
"You don't understand?" Guo Jia laughed, paused, and stood looking at Du Xi: "Then I might as well ask you a few more questions, why did Dong Cheng frame Duke Guan?"
"Of course the governor got off the bus in the middle of the road and ridiculed Dong Cheng for taking the official position. Dong Cheng abdicated the throne to the three princes and held a grudge in his heart. Now that Empress Dong is pregnant, he has become more and more arrogant and remembered the old grudge, so he took personal revenge without even thinking about it."
said.
Guo Jia was not satisfied with the other party's well-known answer, and then asked: "Did the Guan Gong's remarks when he got off the bus only offend Dong Cheng?"
"This..." Du Xi was stunned for a moment. A bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He asked in disbelief: "But if this is the case, why..."
"Why?" Guo Jia said with some amusement: "Yang Gong, Huang Gong and others left one after another. Does Du Jun think this is all Dong Cheng's fault?" Seeing that the other party was silent, Guo Jia said again: "Right now
Everyone is staring at Dong Cheng, but they are thinking about it in their hearts..."
"Fengxiao!" Du Xi stood up in shock. He looked at the other party in fear and hurriedly interrupted the other party's increasingly explicit arrogance: "That's enough. What I have to worry about now is how to protect Ming Gong.
Let Dong admit his guilt."
"Aren't we discussing this matter?" Guo Jia looked at Du Xi inexplicably, as if the other party said something funny: "Ming Gong has been saved. Dong Cheng has now admitted his mistake. As long as we don't hold each other accountable,
Just get out of this storm. If you are as stubborn as you think, you will only become a mere fish and be used by others."
"Doesn't this allow Dong Cheng to continue to do evil?" Du Xi couldn't help but said loudly. It was clear that if he continued to entangle, he would be able to unite his momentum to attack Dong Cheng's arrogance, and also rescue Guan Ning, but Guo Jia insisted on settling the matter.
Avoid getting involved in disputes. Since you can achieve the same goal, why use Guo Jia's method of swallowing your anger?
"Now we are not condoning it, but we are condoning it!" Guo Jia walked around the table and walked in front of Du Xi in a few steps. He was born with a weak body, and his emotions were agitated at this time. His words actually made his throat dry and hoarse, and he coughed several times.
Voice: "Now the emperor wants to use Dong Cheng's help to deal with these arrogant and high-minded celebrities who are good at discussing the court. Everything was going according to plan, but in the middle, Ming Gong was stunned by Dong Cheng's quarrel, and things became difficult to handle.
.Now if Dong Cheng cannot resist, all the emperor's efforts will be in vain. Once this happens, the situation in the court will change drastically after Huang Gong, Yang Gong and others left. This kind of change is definitely not what the emperor wants to see..."
The emperor wanted to take this opportunity to severely dampen the spirit of these celebrities and let them learn a lesson. Now is no longer the era when they could brazenly say that the Han Dynasty was about to end and the emperor was fatuous. This time, he would first punish the celebrities.
After being tidied up and obeyed, a few literati were supported from the secretarial level to guide public opinion. When the next in-depth reform is thoroughly implemented, there will not be such a big public opinion turmoil.
With such thoughts, the emperor would let Dong Cheng do whatever he wanted. Even in the case of Zhu Jun, Dong Cheng made the emperor very angry. But at the moment, the emperor will not lose the big because of the small, and let his opponents use the momentum to defeat Zhu Jun.
He pushed over.
"That is to say...the country will not bring justice to Mr. Ming?" Du Xi sat back on the table limply and said with some disbelief.
Guo Jia sighed and whispered: "At least not now."
Du Xi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something more. At this moment, a panting Zhu family servant ran in from behind:
"My lord, my lord is awake!"
The two hurried to the back room, only to see Zhu Jun's face still red, half leaning on the couch and breathing heavily. When they saw the two coming, he just said: "Has Guan Youan been released?"
"I haven't bothered to inquire about this news recently." Du Xi walked forward and knelt down next to Zhu Jun, looking at Zhu Jun's expression worriedly: "Mr. Hua is coming over soon. I will ask him to check Ming Gong's pulse later. It’s okay, I’ll talk about other things later.”
"Go, go." Zhu Jun waved his hand feebly and told Du Xi: "Go and ask, and come back and report back to me as soon as you're done."
"Ming Gong!" Du Xi begged.
"Go quickly!" Zhu Jun weakly pushed Du Xi, his tone firm.
Du Xi had no choice but to leave.
After that, Guo Jia sat next to Zhu Jun. His black and white eyes looked at Zhu Jun, then lowered his eyes. He didn't say anything, but it seemed that he had said everything.
"You're right." Zhu Jun's voice was as low as possible, just enough for the other party to hear: "But I don't regret wading into this muddy water."
"Ming Gong always praises me for being good at making suggestions, but there is rarely a time when I am willing to accept advice." Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Perhaps this is Ming Gong's persistence."
"People always insist on something right or wrong. Back then I laughed at Huangfu Song, but now it's my turn."
