Putting aside the money and food matters for the time being, Gai Jun turned his attention to the north - Yanmen County and Guangwu County. As the place where Dong Zhuo once served, another Liangzhou native is now in power. He is like a cunning fox, curling up desperately
Body, it's a pity that he didn't know that he was like a firefly in the dark, so bright and dazzling...
"It's time..."
Gai Jun found Guo Jian, the prefect of Yanmen. Guo's surname was a common surname in Taiyuan, but he was not from the Jiexiu Guolin clan. His roots were in Yangqu County in the north. Guo Jian's ancestors had been officials for generations, and his father Guo Quan had been the chief minister of Jiuqing. Yangqu
It is only a few dozen miles away from Yanmen, and it can be traveled back and forth in one day. Since the Three Mutual Laws were introduced, people from this state are not allowed to serve as governors of this state, and people from this county are not allowed to be appointed as prefects of this county... Few people are as close to home as him. For example
Gai Jun is five thousand miles away from home. He has been away for more than ten years and it is difficult to go back...
Guo Mian is about forty years old but not even fifty. He is of medium height and has a resolute appearance. He is taciturn and unfamiliar with Gai Jun. When he came in, he sat upright with expressionless eyes and a businesslike appearance.
This is not a man who is good at pleasing Shangguan. Gai Jun couldn't help laughing and asked: "Is Guangwu County still Jia Wenhe?"
Guo Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that Jia Xu and Gai Jun were both from Liangzhou, and they might be acquaintances, so he nodded and said: "Yes."
"When I was alone in the North, I held Wen He as a filial and honest person, so I was particularly concerned about him." Gai Jun explained. "How about Wen He being an official? Guo Yanmen doesn't need to hide anything."
"very good."
A person like Guo Yan would not compliment others. If he said it was very good, then Jia Xu must have done a good job.
"I am honored to have selected talented people for the country, and I am very relieved to be alone."
With a smile on his face, Gai Jun raised his pen and two big characters in cursive script appeared on the paper. He folded it and put it in a bag and handed it to Guo Yan: "There is a letter here. Please tell me when Guo Yanmen returns to the county.
Take it with you and give it to Wen He."
Why is the letter so short? Guo Mian was confused, but he still said "No."
Gai Jun then chatted with Guo Mian about the situation in Yanmen. The northern boundary of Yanmen was only more than a hundred miles away from Danhan Mountain, the royal court of Xianbei, and Xianbei was naturally mentioned in his words.
Guo Jian said that after the death of King Helian of Xianbei, his son Qianman was young and not able to convince the public. His nephew Kuitou succeeded to the throne. However, this new King of Xianbei was far inferior to Helian, not to mention Tanshihuaai.
He could not completely command the two divisions of the East and West, and even Xianbei in the central part had few people obeying his orders. In the end, Guo Mian thanked Gai Jun for eliminating harm to the country and saving the people of Bing and You.
Gai Jun felt happy after hearing this, and the smile on his face became a little heavier. He kept chatting with him, gradually turning from political affairs to family. He heard that his eldest son was thirteen years old, and his surname was Guo Minghuai. Gai Jun was thoughtful, he was very promising.
** is Guo Huai, a famous general who fought against Shu in later generations. He was thinking about how to snatch his son from Guo Yao...
After Guo Yi left, Gai Jun stretched out and returned to the official residence after leaving the state mansion. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Bian Wei holding Gai Yi's hand for a walk, with the brilliance of motherhood on her face. Gai Jun looked at
Her swollen belly and eyes are extremely soft. Bian Wei is five months pregnant. In other words, his third child will be born at the end of spring next year...
"Husband..."
"Father..."
Gai Jun strode forward and rubbed his son's head. Gai Yi's cheerful little face immediately felt bitter. Every time his mother carefully combed his hair, his father would mess it up, but he wanted to get close to his father. It was really
Trouble.
Gai Jun held his wife's hand and said softly: "Why did you come out? It's cold outside, be careful of getting cold."
Bian Wei said with a smile: "I feel a little bored after staying in the room for a day, so I came out to get some fresh air."
Gai Jun nodded, stayed with mother and son for a while, sent them back to the room, and then walked straight to the main hall. Before entering, he heard Gai Mo's childish and clear reciting voice: "The Master said: "Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice it from time to time?
Isn’t it great to have friends come from far away? Isn’t it a gentleman if someone doesn’t feel embarrassed if he doesn’t know?”
Is it too early to start studying "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of five? Reading "The Classic of Filial Piety" at an early age can help children firmly remember filial piety. However, "The Analects of Confucius" is broad and profound, and children may not understand its principles. Gai Jun raised his legs while thinking
After crossing the threshold, Gamemo turned around and jumped into his father's arms with a cheer.
Gai Jun mentioned his youngest son and kissed his cheek. Gai Mo rolled his big black eyes and whispered in his ear: "Father, grandma is not happy. Have you made her angry?"
Gai Jun was so angry that he laughed and said, "You brat, it's not too late for your father to take care of your mother, how could you make her angry?"
"Husband, what are you talking about? Don't teach Wei Nu a bad lesson." Cai Wan was worried, and her beautiful face was covered with dark clouds. There was no other reason than that her father had retired from office. Originally, she should be happy that her father, who had been an official for more than ten years, retired from office.
, but the person who summoned him was Dong Zhuo. Her husband and Dong Zhuo had always been at odds with each other. They almost had a fight a few days ago. She was very worried about her father's safety.
"What does it mean to teach evil? I am teaching him the way to love his wife." Gai Jun came to his wife with Gai Mo in his arms, and said seriously: "Don't worry Wan'er, my husband is a famous scholar in Dongzhou, I forgive Dong Zhuo, even a common man would not dare
Touch a hair on my father-in-law's face."
Gai Jun wrote to Cai Yong not long ago, asking him not to serve as an official, but he did not listen to Gai Jun's opinion after all. The reason Cai Yong gave was that Dong Zhuo was cruel and ruthless, and his refusal to grant a life order would bring disaster to the clan. This reason Gai Jun
I don't believe it, not to mention Cai Yong's high reputation, he has a son-in-law like Bingzhou Mu, who controls a hundred thousand strong troops, unless Dong Zhuo is crazy. It can only be said that Cai Yong has been in office for too long, and he is eager to get out of the army again.
After all, he is about to turn sixty, how many years does he have to live?
Cai Wan sighed softly and said, "I hope it will be as my husband said."
Yanmen, Guangwu.
Jia Xu lazily reclined on the couch, holding a book and reading aloud, leisurely and contentedly. He took the role of Guangwu Ling very relaxedly. He visited the county government every day, gave two or three pointers, and then went home to read and recuperate.
Therefore, this is not because he dislikes being a junior official, nor is he ignorant of politics. On the contrary, he knows that government affairs are appropriate, and the way to govern is to be quiet and inactive.
After reading the thirty-six chapters of "Qianfu Lun" written by Fu Wangjie, the Confucian king of Liangzhou, this book focuses on the art of governing the country and bringing peace to the people, with extraordinary insights. Jia Xu and Jian sighed happily, feeling ashamed. Various concepts and ideas in the book
More than two hours have passed since the thoughts in my mind corroborated each other, and I sought common ground while reserving differences.
Jia Xu sat up and glanced at the desk. There was a letter on it, which was handwritten by Taiwei Dong Zhuo. The words expressed his admiration and hoped that he would come to Beijing to work together on great things.
"Collaborating on big things..." Jia Xu's smile was full of amusement.
"Master..." The old servant with wrinkles on his face stood outside the door and called softly.
Jia Xu asked: "What's the matter?"
The old servant said: "Mr. Guo Fu came to visit me."
"Mr. Guo Fu is back?" Jia Xu quickly stood up and walked out of the living room to greet him. The two of them bumped into each other to greet each other. Guo Mian took out a leather bag from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Xu, claiming that it was a letter from Gaijun, the Mu of Bingzhou.
Jia Xu nodded and put it in his arms. Guo Yao sat for a moment and then stood up and left. Jia Xu walked all the way to the gate. On the way back, he took out the leather bag, which contained only a thin piece of paper. When he opened it, he saw two dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air.
The big characters appear before your eyes.
"Come quickly..." Jia Xu laughed dumbly.
In the eleventh month, Dong Zhuo was appointed as the prime minister. He paid homage without being named, and entered the court without attending. He went to the palace with swords and shoes.
On the same day, Jia Xu arrived in Jinyang.
In order to show his respect for Jia Xu, Gai Jun put aside government affairs, thanked guests behind closed doors, and drank with him alone. At the banquet, Gai Jun said: "I heard that Dong Zhuo sent a letter calling Wenhe to come to Beijing. Why did Wenhe refuse?"
Jia Xu replied: "The situation is unclear, and blessings and disasters are unpredictable."
Gai Jun smiled half-heartedly and said, "What do you mean by unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes? Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor internally and controlled the world externally. He was very successful."
"..." Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.
Gai Jun raised his bottle to invite a drink and asked, "Does Wen He see clearly the situation in the world?"
"It's dark and hard to see." Jia Xu shook his head.
Gai Jun said calmly: "The world is about to be in chaos."
Jia Xu was surprised and said: "Oh? How can you conclude that the world is in chaos?"
"The prefectures and counties in Guandong will soon raise troops to attack Dong. At that time, the east and west will confront each other and the soldiers will meet..."
"..." Jia Xu's pupils shrank suddenly.
Gai Jun smiled softly and secretly sighed that his eldest brother Yuan Benchu's methods were so amazing that even the leading wise men of the Three Kingdoms could not see through his plan. Only Gai Jun, a later generation who understood this period of history, could understand.
"Wen He doesn't believe what Gu Zhi said?"
Jia Xu really didn't believe it. Although Dong Zhuo had deposed the emperor and was suspected of wielding power, he did not do anything that would cause outrage. The counties in Guandong raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo? It was ridiculous. However, Gai Jun was so confident, unlike
Out of nowhere.
Gai Jun said calmly: "I have received the exact news. At the beginning of next year, the Bohai prefect Yuan Benchu, the prefectural pastor Han Wenjie will start from Jizhou, the governor Liu Gongshan, the Chenliu prefect Zhang Mengzhuo will start from Yanzhou, the governor Kong Gongxu will start from Yuzhou, and the rear general Yuan Gongtou will start from Jingzhou..."
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou surrounded Kyoto. The situation was very similar to the Yellow Turban uprising in the past, but these people who raised the army were different from the Yellow Turban thieves. They grasped the principles of the world, and they would follow them like clouds...
…But Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage and had more than 100,000 soldiers, who could not be eliminated...
"The world may fall into division and the Han Dynasty will be defeated."
Jia Xu is indeed the world's top wise man, and he can roughly analyze the future trend with just one sentence of information from Gai Jun.
"Who do you intend to support?" Jia Xu asked. In the dispute between the East and the West, Gai Jun's attitude is crucial. It can even be said that whoever he supports will win. Gai Jun was disgusted by his friendship with famous people in Guandong.
Dong Zhuo, this is something everyone knows. It seems that he will help Guandong. However, Gai Jun and Dong Zhuo are from the same country. In the face of interests, why can't they let go?
"What do Wenhe think?" Gai Jun asked. After speaking, he lowered his head and played with the wine glass with a focused expression.
"It's hard to say." Jia Xu shook his head and sighed.
"Why do you say that?" Gai Jun raised his head and squinted at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu said calmly: "I don't know what your ambition is, so it's hard to say."
"Ambition?" Gai Jun said with a smile: "Gu Yan's lifelong ambition is to save the people. Do you believe it or not, Wen He?"
"..." Jia Xu looked surprised.
Gai Jun laughed at himself, drank the wine silently, and was lost in thought. At this point, the banquet could no longer continue, so Jia Xu stood up and left.
