Chapter four hundred and thirty-ninth, taking bribes
Chapter 439: Accepting bribes
Satisfied. Of course, satisfied. Guo Jia deals with Cao Ren. He has already prepared a case with Liu Ming. How much gift Cao Cao gives through Cao Ren is all for nothing to add extra money to Guo Jia. Can Guo Jia not be satisfied? What's more, this top-quality gem
The bead chain is the top-notch product to please my wife. This is even more valuable to Guo Jia, and it is definitely equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
Guo Jia felt beautiful, but she didn't show her face.
Sima Lang, who was watching, was a little anxious at the time. Although Sima Lang was eloquent and had extremely high diplomatic skills, Sima Lang was at least the leader of the younger generation this year. Although Sima Lang knew about the secret bribery.
After all, I have not had much experience. Especially the treasures Sima Lang brought this time are very precious. Sima Lang firmly believes that no one can face such treasures without being moved. Therefore, Sima Lang faces Guo Jia who is calm and quiet.
If you can't figure it out thoroughly, you will be even more anxious.
Sima Lang secretly thought: The little gold just now could attract his attention. Why is the value of this treasure now so valuable? Why is Guo Jia not moved? Could it be him?
Sima Lang thought of a possibility, and his confidence in the treasure was shaken at that time. No matter how good this gem bead chain is, it is still an ornament after all. It is not cash. It would be fine if it is someone who loves jewelry. But if you meet someone who doesn't like it,
If a person with jewelry wants to cash out it, he will not say that the greater the loss. The better the jewelry, the more conspicuous it will be. The source of it will be, the harder it will be to explain it clearly. This explanation to Cao Ren is that it is greedy for money, and
For the wise Guo Jia, that is definitely a trouble.
Sima Lang thought of this possibility, and Khan came down at that time. It was broken, and this time it was a big deal. Sima Lang carefully added: "Mr. Guo. These polite gifts are just General Cao Ren's wishes. You also know that gold can be
It's too heavy. I'm here alone and can only bring you some precious treasures. If you don't like them, you'll have to keep them first. Looking back, General Cao Ren and my Prime Minister will definitely be right.
You have made up for your report.”
Hearing this, Guo Jia finally understood Sima Lang with a smile, the yellow horse's hoof gold and the gem bead chain that shone with brilliant brilliance.
Just based on Sima Lang's words and Sima Lang took out the gem chains so quickly before. Sima Lang's previous move to take out the golden bag, Sima Lang would definitely not be testing himself for Cao Cao, and he also
It is impossible that Cao Cao was stingy. It was because the gold scored too much. Sima Lang's small body, forty ingots of horseshoe gold, is probably Sima Lang's weight-bearing limit. This is why jewelry has to be used to increase the quality of the gifts.
It seems that the silver notes in Youzhou are better. A small piece of paper is light, not to mention these forty ingots of horse hoof gold. Even four hundred ingots and four thousand ingots can be opened.
Not to mention, under the policy of Liu Ming's three anti-five anti-five anti-population and national supervision, Guo Jia's experience in accepting bribes was less rich than Sima Lang. In the few limited times, he also prepared a case with Liu Ming.
.The level and experience in this area are naturally not very good. However, the matter is here, who made Sima Lang show his timidity first? Guo Jia naturally followed the flow and said: "Well. It's all right this time.
.Children is a friend of me and a gentleman. If you need help with anything, just say it. You can’t use these common things.”
Sima Lang had no temper at this time and whispered: "Yes, yes. The lower officials must pay attention in the future. But this time the Prime Minister wanted to marry the Grand Marshal. Among them, General Cao Ren made great efforts. General Cao was
I sincerely hope that our two families can form a marriage alliance and jointly govern the world. In this way, the Taiwei has strong military strength, while the Prime Minister of our family obeys the emperor's edict and upholds the righteousness. Who can stop the world?
Zhongxing is near. Previously, Lord Guo wanted to make the people of the world want to have peace, so he could get it."
Guo Jia secretly applauded: Sima Lang's eloquence is indeed good, and he obviously has ulterior motives. But he is righteous and seems to be considering the other party. However, if Guo Jia applauds, he is just giving Sima Lang's words.
Sure. Compared to Guo Jia, Sima Lang's level of persuasion skills is still far from it. Not to mention comparing with his lord Liu Ming.
Guo Jia still listened calmly.
At this time, Sima Lang had not seen it yet, and continued to say, "It is really rare in the world for such a great situation. But now, the Taiwei is actually confused about it for a little bit of personal anger. This is really heartbreaking. I hope Guo will be sad.
For the sake of the people of the world, I have vigorously promoted this matter and analyzed it thoroughly for the Taiwei Lord to persuade the Taiwei Lord to follow me to enter the capital to fulfill this love. If it is not possible, I would also like to say a few good words to the lower-ranking officials in front of the Taiwei Lord.
The subordinates were ordered to ask for a reply in front of the Grand Marshal."
"Hmph! Lord Sima, Meng De has taken this sub-scheming. Do you really think there is no one in Youzhou?" Guo Jia snorted coldly at the end of Sima Lang.
"Ah? Lord Guo, where did you say this?" Sima Lang was stunned by Guo Jia's sudden words.
"Sir Sima, we are not secretly talking. Since I have accepted your gifts, I will do some things for you, but this book is nothing. Just like you want to meet my Grand Marshal to ask for a reply, I can do it at any time
.Before you came today, I have already spoken for you. Tomorrow, my Grand Marshal will meet you. However, your Prime Minister wants my Grand Marshal to enter the capital. There is a lesson from the previous car for Ma Teng and others to enter the capital to make a pilgrimage.
, three-year-old children can see such tricks. That is absolutely malicious. What's more, in our Youzhou, in addition to me, Jia Wenhe, is known as "the plot of ghosts and gods". Xun Wenruo, is known as:
"Zhang Liang, who is reborn, is all great wise men. How can such tricks work?" Guo Jia said disdainfully.
"Mr. Guo, it's not that he is afraid of being in danger, but he has ulterior motives, and he is afraid of exposing it for others." Sima Lang said in a teasing voice unwillingly.
"Hmph. Have ulterior motives? Joke! If my Grand Marshal really has ulterior motives, the world will be peaceful long ago. I have already wanted to try it. This matter has nothing to do with it. It's too big to be small, and there is no such thing in this world.
This is the truth. Besides, not to mention that the strength of my Taiwei’s military and horses is far from what your Prime Minister can match. Even if my Taiwei’s military and horses are not as strong as your Prime Minister, with the daughter of my Taiwei’s military and horses, I have to do it.
I am afraid that I will not go to the death to go to danger. It is a natural human nature to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. I am afraid I will not be able to help you this time. However, for the friendship between Zixiao and me, I
I have to remind you that this imperial edict is very likely to create an opportunity for our Youzhou pro-war faction. You must be careful." Guo Jia said later, that was really serious.
Guo Jia's words really made Sima Lang confused. Sima Lang was first mocked by Guo Jia, and said less confidently. Then Guo Jia talked about the facts, reasoning, and convinced him.
.I couldn't help but agree with Guo Jia's statement in my heart: There will definitely be no normal person who knows that he will still take risks even if he dies. If that is the case, he will either be a fool or a saint. With the actions of Taiwei Liu
The way. That is absolutely impossible. Sima Lang just agreed with Guo Jia’s statement, and was reminded by Guo Jiayu to pay attention. Can Sima Lang not be confused?
Sima Lang asked respectfully: "Mr. Guo, I understand what you said before. This is indeed the inadequate consideration of my Prime Minister. However, even if the Taiwei is not satisfied with this matter, at most he will not go.
That's it. What's there to be careful about this? I hope Lord Guo will give me more advice on the position of General Zixiao. The position of the official will definitely not forget the benefits of Lord Guo." Speaking of this, Sima Lang is interested
I took a look at the things on the table inadvertently.
Guo Jia was secretly amused, but he still pretended to say, "Well! Well, who made me and Zixiao fall in love with each other at first sight? I will tell you a secret today. Our Youzhou has always been divided into the main points.
The war faction and the stable faction. As the chief military advisor under the Grand Marshal, I am also a member of the pro-war faction. But my Grand Marshal is a cultivator and has always had feelings for those stable factions.
Special liking. Therefore, although our war-oriented faction has a large number of personnel and strong strength, we have never been able to do anything to the stable faction. And our Grand Marshal has always been undecided here. Now, the imperial edict from your Prime Minister is,
It has become the key. It is important to know that the imperial edict is the imperial edict. My Grand Master, loyalty and righteousness, can be used to understand the sun and the moon. Although this imperial edict is absurd, it will be placed in danger. But my Grand Master will still abide by it.
Yes. And my Taiwei is not a fool. The real imperial edict and the fake imperial edict can still be distinguished. Even though I know the action of sending death, my Taiwei will not do it. In this way, the Prime Minister will be in your family.
When the Lord forced my Grand Marshal into a dead end, even if I didn't stand up, someone would come forward to instigate my Grand Marshal to send troops to Beijing and solve all the problems in one fell swoop."
"What? Grand Marshal Liu dared to lead troops into the capital. Isn't this intention to rebel? Isn't he afraid of threatening the emperor's safety?" Sima Lang asked in horror.
"How could it be? My Grand Marshal is the assistant minister. The Prime Minister has great power in the world. He will lead troops to Beijing to safeguard the emperor's safety. It is not natural. Besides, my safety is now being protected by the Prime Minister.
Before the Lord handed over the safety of the emperor to the hands of my Grand Marshal. What mistakes did the emperor make, it was all the Prime Minister's fault. If the emperor was not here for this, then the Prime Minister's fault would be even greater. At that time,
I'm afraid that a hundred deaths will be blamed." Guo Jia said in a dark and sinister manner.
"Ah? This is absolutely impossible. Lord Guo, since you have always been in good relationship with my family, and you are the leader of the war pro-sects. Don't make this suggestion. You must give more good advice to my Prime Minister.
Ah." Sima Lang said anxiously.
"Well. I can only do my best in this matter. After all, I am not the only smart person. And this matter threatens the life safety of my Taiwei. My Taiwei's thoughts will change, and that's the same.
It is inevitable. If I say too much, it may be bad. But you can rest assured. For the sake of Zixiao, I will definitely say what I should say, and I will definitely help if I should help. But this matter
The final development depends on Prime Minister Cao himself. If my Grand Marshal is not in danger of his life, with his unwillingness to kill, this matter will still turn around. You must do it yourself." Guo Jia said to him.
He made a promise and took a small path. Then he raised the tea bowl in his hand.
Sima Lang was so grateful that he left worriedly.
Of course, Sima Lang did not sleep well that night.
The next day, Liu Ming did as Guo Jia said, summoning Sima Lang again. Sima Lang, who had not yet thought of a countermeasure, was unwilling to rush to see Liu Ming. However, Liu Ming's summons had already arrived.
Sima Lang had to bite the bullet and go to the court's envoy.
When Sima Lang arrived at the conference hall, Liu Ming's subordinates had already stood full. But they missed yesterday's imperial edict, and today they obviously no one paid attention to Sima Lang. Liu Ming did not even welcome him out of the hall. Sima
Lang sighed secretly in his heart: Cough! One day passed, it was like the difference between spring and autumn. The atmosphere was obviously different.
When Liu Ming saw Sima Lang coming, he didn't say nonsense or he was polite. He said to Sima Lang directly: "Angel Sima. Please bring the imperial edict. I have accepted this imperial edict. You can take the lead in replying to the emperor. I will give you my wish.
Let me explain the trivial matters of the state, and set off today to Xudu to meet the emperor. At the same time, I would like to tell you that Prime Minister Cao. After his love, I will definitely bring a generous gift to the next recruitment. Please ask him to come a few days later."
Although Liu Ming's tone was not very polite, Sima Lang was still very happy. This Liu Taiwei is still very reasonable. It is not as exaggerated as Guo Jia said. Isn't this quite good?
However, before Sima Lang recovered from his joy. Jia Xu, who had taken action, stood up and said, "Master Taiwei. You are the general commander of the world's military and horses. If you have no one to guard you, it would be too harmful.
The court's dignity. Prime Minister Cao is the chief assistant of the country. If you marry his sister, it would be ridiculous if you don't have a huge guard of honor. What's more, the Xianbei tribe has been grateful for the kindness of our great man and the kindness of the emperor.
. We have recently surrendered us. The emperor should also check the soldiers of these emperors. Since this is the case, my subordinates suggest that it is better to combine these things into one. Tongyou will take them there. This way, you can save it.
