"Great joy! Xu Zhenbei sent the corpse of thief yuan to Beijing! "
"Great victory in Youzhou, great victory!"
A knight yelled, and ran his horse into the city of Luoyang, shouting all the way. The people on the streets of Luoyang immediately heard it and couldn't help being overjoyed.
"It is true that the generals are in power all over the world. Isn't it that the bandits of Yuan gave the throne?"
"When will the general's exploits be comparable to that of emperor Shizu when the bandits are wiped out?"
The carriage carrying Yuan Shao's coffin has already driven into the northern army barracks, and hundreds of iron cavalry escorted Liu Ye and others into it.
"This is the thief's corpse, please look at it!" Guan Hai said to Liu Ye.
"It's a pity that yuan Benchu was the fourth generation and the third Duke." Liu Ye looks at Yuan Shao's pale corpse and shakes his head. After Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, accepted Chen Qun's suggestion, the whole Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties were ruled by the nine grade system for hundreds of years.
Under the system of nine grades, the talents of aristocratic families can be rated as grade one or grade two, while even the most excellent people of poor families are only six or seven, and they are born inferior to others.
According to the luxurious lineup of Yuan's fourth Sangong, even among the aristocratic families, it is comparable to Wang Xie and other big families, but the curtain call is too early.
"Please send an edict to your majesty to inform the world." Liu Ye waved his hand.
Today, the emperor issued an edict saying: the yuan family in Runan was originally a famous family. Yuan Shao, the traitor, ruled Hebei. He was born with martial arts. The general was born, the king's division was northward, and the group of murderers fell down...
but in the court, Guo Jia stood in front of the emperor Liu Xie and bowed down.
"Minister Guojia, please see your majesty."
"What's the matter, Guo Qing Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
Today's Liu Xie is no longer the child who knew nothing at that time. He grew up to be an 18-year-old youth with a handsome face and a steady look. At that time, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty and Dong Zhuo liked Liu Xie so much. The former wanted to remove his eldest son and make him the crown prince. The latter even abandoned the emperor Liu Bian and made Liu Xie the emperor's son of heaven. Liu Xie's handsome appearance naturally played a great role.
Liu Xie looks at Guo Jia with a trace of dissatisfaction, because he is the accomplice of "Liu thief", but Liu Xie tries to hide the dissatisfaction.
"Sire, Yuan's traitors: first, Yuan Shu ruled Yangzhou, causing trouble to the place; then, Yuan Shao Xiaoxiao ruled Hebei. The people were unbearable. Thanks to the general's sweeping away the traitors, he asked the emperor to grant the general Jiuxi and confer him the title of public. This shows his great contribution to the country." Guo Jia looks at Liu Xie Dao.
"What?" Liu Xie Mei frowned and didn't want to agree.
The so-called nine tin is not read as Xi, but "nine gifts". Tin is a fake word. Tongci is the nine kinds of ritual utensils given to ministers by the emperor. Only the ministers who are most valued by the emperor can get nine tin.
However, Jiuxi has already deteriorated. Generally speaking, a set of procedures must be carried out for ministers to usurp power, which is to grant Jiuxi the title of Duke, king and abdication to the throne.
For example, Cao Cao accepted Jiuxi and was granted the title of Duke of Wei. Because of this, Xunzi was very dissatisfied. He did not agree that Cao Cao was appointed Duke of Wei. He thought that this was the precursor of Cao Cao's abolishment. Later, Cao Cao was named king of Wei, but he died before he became emperor. So his son Cao Pi completed the cause.
The so-called nine tin, one is chariots and horses. It refers to the golden chariot and military chariot; Xuanmu Ersi, namely eight black horses, indicates that the minister is highly respected. The second is clothes, which refers to the clothes of gun Mian and a pair of matching red shoes, which means that the minister can stabilize the people. The third is Yue county. The Zhou Dynasty paid attention to the ritual system. The so-called ritual music, which combines music with Zhou rites, can make people and music be given, also known as "music suspension".
Fourth, Zhu Hu, also known as the red lacquer gate. It is the so-called "Zhumen wine and meat stink", the ancient high-ranking officials, high-ranking families used Zhumen. There are two ways to say "Nabi". One is the special grade when climbing the hall, so that the climber does not show his body, which is similar to today's VIP channel. The second is the lower wooden steps, so that the steps will not be too steep, reward the minister who can offer advice to the emperor. The sixth is Huben, which is easy to understand. It refers to hundreds of Huben guards, generally 300. For example, it is recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu Yi, Taizu Benji, which rewards ministers who are able to wipe out the murderers.
Seven are bows and arrows. Among them, there are hundreds of Tong bows and thousands of Xuan bows and arrows. They refer to specially made red and black bows and arrows, which are specially given to ministers who can fight against injustice. Eight, axe axe axe, this is very common, those fake Festival, keep Festival, make the four party general can hold, can be in front of the battle, deterrence subordinates. Jiuyue Cuan, read as J ù chࣇng, refers to the incense wine used for sacrificial rites. It is made from rare black millet and turmeric grass, which is very rare.
Once the reward goes down, it means that the merit of the minister has reached the point where there is no promotion or reward. Otherwise, how could Jiuxi be granted?
"It's really a great contribution to exterminate yuan's family. It's possible to make a general as a grand Sima, and to confer thousands of households in the Food City, so Jiuxi is not necessary?" Liu Xiewei.
Guo Jia's tone remained unchanged and insisted: "Your Majesty's words are not correct. The general has made such great contributions to the government. How can we not reward them? No reward for meritorious service. How can your majesty command the peopleLiu Xie Mei frowned and looked at Guo Jia for a period of time, but said, "well, since this is the case, I intend to give Jiuxi to the general." He can't contend with Guo Jia, and now Liu Ye's ears and eyes are everywhere inside and outside the imperial court. He doesn't even have anyone who wants to talk to him. What can he do.
The corner of Guo Jia's mouth rose slightly: "the son of heaven is holy and bright, and rewards meritorious officials. In this way, the handsome people in the world will be greatly encouraged. Everyone wants to be used by the emperor."
"I hope so."
If you read the annals of the Three Kingdoms, you will find that Guo Jia's status and role in the Cao Wei camp is far less than that described in the romance of the Three Kingdoms. Chen Shou believes that the three most important counsellors of Cao Wei are Xunzi Xunyou's uncle and nephew, and Jia Xu, a poison man. Therefore, they are included in the same biography, while Guo Jia is listed in the same chapter as Cheng Yu and others.
However, Cao Cao paid special attention to Guo Jia. After the death of the dramatist in those years, Cao Cao was very depressed. When he asked Xunzi who could plan for himself, Xunzi recommended Guo Jia, and Cao Cao was overjoyed. He immediately talked with Guo Jia all night, and even after the defeat in the battle of Chibi, he sighed: if filial piety were to be held, it would not be so lonely. Therefore, many people in later generations are feeling, if Guo Jia is still there, will the result of the battle of Chibi be different?
Cao Cao trusted Guo Jia for another reason.
