Chapter 798 Never Deceived
Having been summoned by the emperor, Xu Fu, led by Qi Yue, entered the Hall of Houde, walked into the main hall, and bowed to the emperor, Liu Xi looked at the person in front of him, but thought of According to the records in the heavenly book, the man in front of him was born as a ranger, which is unusual in the records of the heavenly book. There are not many people who can become the mainstay of the temple from a ranger.

It can be said that he is both civil and military. Even at present, this man is also very talented. He first passed the assessment of military science and honed himself in the Southern Army for two years. In Guishuang's big strategy, Jia Xu is more of a strategist, and the specific implementation is all this. It can be said that he is enough to be Jia Xu's successor, and he is not inferior to Jia Xu when he was young.

Xu Fu, who had not changed his name, paid homage to the emperor, and Liu Xi gave him a seat just now. He sat beside Jia Xu, stretched out his hand, and supported Jia Xu. Asked: "I see, Mr. Jia is a little... um... a little unclear?"

Xu Fu's eyes were slightly red, and he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Shijun is old, nearly eighty years old, today, Shijun is rarely sober, doesn't think about food and drink, and talks all day long to go back to his hometown in Xiliang, unconscious. Therefore, I have the courage to bring Shijun to visit His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will show mercy, so let Shijun leave his official position and go home." Xu Fu couldn't help but shed tears as he said.

Liu Xi nodded, sighed helplessly, and said just now: "My heart aches when I see Mr. Jia like this. Well, I will allow Mr. Jia to leave his official position. As for returning to Liangzhou, you can see for yourself, Mr. Jia." They are so weak that they look like this, how can they survive the long journey? I will arrange for the imperial physician to heal Jia Gong, let Jia rest for a while, and return to Liangzhou when I can start the journey, what do you think? ah?"

He asked, Xu Fu was overjoyed, and looked at the master beside him, Jia Xu just looked at the front blankly, the corners of his mouth were wet, Xu Fu stretched out his sleeve to wipe it with some distress, and then asked: "Master, May I?"

"What?" Jia Xu asked.

"Let's recuperate, let's go back to Liangzhou, okay?"

Maybe it was because of the joy on Jia Xu's face when he heard that he was going back to Liangzhou, and he laughed, "Okay. Okay." Xu Fu looked at the emperor, got up immediately, and thanked him. Liu Xi hurriedly asked him to sit down and said, "You You also know about Shuang Zhice, it was Jia Gong’s painstaking efforts, it can’t be wasted like this, you know enough about Guishuang, don’t you?”

Hearing the Son of Heaven's inquiry, Xu Fu naturally understood what the Son of Heaven meant. He nodded and said, "Master, I have been carrying out the plans of the past few years. I have mastered the three languages ​​of Guishuang, the North and the South. , and I am very familiar with all the vassal kings and even the generals."

"Very good, very good, then, let you take care of these matters in Mr. Jia's hands, how about it?"

"I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" Xu Fu saluted the emperor.

Liu Xi nodded and said with a smile: "In the final analysis, you are still young, and you can't let you take care of all the important matters alone. Forget it, I will send Shang Shuling to go there later to help you a little. Taking care of you can be regarded as letting you relax."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Fu saluted, Liu Xi smiled, and then looked at Jia Xu who was on the side, looking at Jia Xu with a sluggish face, Liu Xi also sighed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, you should go back and rest first." , I will send the imperial physician order to go there later, from now on, you should not come to the Hall of Houde, if there is anything, let Xu Jun come to report, and I will go to see you in person!!"

Jia Xu didn't reply.

Only then did Xu Fu help Jia Xu leave the Hall of Houde, got into the carriage, and drove towards the outside of the palace. Not long after the carriage left, Shang Shuling's carriage also quickly arrived at the gate of the palace, got out of the carriage, and Xun Yu hurriedly walked towards Houde Hall. When he entered Houde Hall, Liu Xi was holding a thick stack of papers and looking at them seriously.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Xun Ling, sit down quickly." Liu Xi hurriedly asked Xun Yu to sit down, put the stack of papers in his hand on the table, and said, "Just now, Mr. Jia came to see me."

"Oh? Wenhe?"

"Yes."

"Presumably he begged His Majesty to let him resign?"

"How did Duke Xun Ling know?"

"He has had this idea for a long time. As early as the Xiping year, he wanted to go home, but Emperor Xiaoxian didn't allow it." Xun Yu said, suddenly came to his senses, and asked: "Your Majesty promised him?"

"I see Mr. Jia is old and weak, so it's not easy to refuse." Liu Xi said blankly, Xun Yu frowned, and said just now: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this guy has always been like this, obviously he has the talents of the world, But he always wants to be wise and protect himself, he has no big ambitions, just hides his clumsiness, and just wants to live his own life. Among the big men, there are probably few people like him."

"Everyone wants to express themselves, but this guy only wants to hide his clumsiness. Even if he knows how to do it, he pretends not to do it. If he doesn't force him a little bit, he must never use his full ability."

Xun Yu talked for a while before he felt that something was wrong. He is not a person who likes to speak ill of others. He paused and thought for a while before he said: "Forget it, he is indeed old. His Majesty is not easy to refuse, okay. There is nothing important for him now, and leaving will not affect him, let him go if he wants to go."

Liu Xi hesitated for a moment before he said: "A few years ago, Mr. Jia approached me, and he proposed a strategy about Guishuang. I thought it was very good, so I agreed. He asked me to keep it secret for him. Don't tell others, this matter is not finished yet." Xun Yu was taken aback, there are still policies in the temple that he, the minister, doesn't know about? ?How many years has it been implemented?
Seeing the doubts on Xun Yu's face, Liu Xi said helplessly: "I also promised him to keep it a secret, so I never mentioned it. Now that he is going to resign, I can tell you about it. That's it. , Mr. Jia had been to Guishuang and knew the customs of Guishuang, so he suggested that Guishuang could be conquered without using weapons. Making friends, buying and wooing, makes the whole country of Guishuang return to righteousness."

"what??!"

Xun Yu was stunned.

"So how's the strategy going?"

"Jia Gong is still very talented. Most of Guishuang's vassal kings, generals, and even soldiers, courtiers, and eunuchs have already turned to the big man. As long as the big man can guarantee their status and wealth in Guishuang in the future, they don't care at all. Whoever sits on the throne doesn't care about the life or death of other people, these people, speaking of it, don't have the concept of country at all in their eyes."

Hearing the emperor's words, Xun Yu's back felt chills, how could he bribe so many people? ?This almost directly turned Guishuang into a county of a big man. Except for King Guishuang, everyone else obeyed the orders of the big man.What a Jia Wenhe, I said how Chen Deng was able to get a large number of slaves from Guishuang for the construction of Xizhou, so that's how it is.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I have decided to hand over this matter to Duke Jia's disciples. I hope that Duke Xun Ling can help me a little bit."

"I understand." Xun Yu nodded.

Xu Fu brought his master back to the mansion. Now Jia Xu can no longer take care of himself, and he can't go to Hu Fan. On weekdays, Xu Fu personally takes care of him and takes care of his daily life. His reputation as a filial disciple is gradually growing. It was spread inside and outside Luoyang, he was busy in the mansion, when he heard the servant running over anxiously, saying: "Shang Shuling is here to visit."

Xu Fu was overjoyed, washed his hands quickly, and went to meet Shang Shuling.

Xun Yu was standing at the door, looking at the humble mansion. As he was watching, he saw a young man running towards him with a smile on his face. Xun Yu nodded to him, and then asked: " Are you Wen He's disciple?"

"It's my servant who met Xun Linggong."

"Okay, is your master in the mansion?"

Xu Fu was taken aback, and replied: "What is the matter with Mr. Xun Ling, Shijun needs someone to help him get up now, why is he not in the mansion?"

"Oh, is that already the case? Take me to meet him."

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Xu Fu felt a little annoyed in his heart. Xun Yu's indifference made him very angry, but this person was sent by the emperor, he was the third order, and at the same time he was a friend of the master. He could only hold back his anger, and brought Xun Yu to the inner room. Jia Xu lay on the bed with blank eyes, staring up blankly, thinking about something.

"Master, Lord Xun Ling is here!!" Xu Fu called, stepped forward, and finally helped Jia Xu to sit up.

Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu in front of him in a daze, as if he couldn't recognize him.

Xun Yu looked helpless, looked at Xu Fu beside him, and said, "Go out now, I have something to talk to your teacher about."

"Master is insane, if he says something wrong, I hope Mr. Xun will not care about it."

"I've known him for decades, you go out."

Xu Fu had no choice but to bow his hands before walking out of the mansion.

Xun Yu watched him leave and shook his head. What a simple child, he was fooled by this old thief. Then, he looked at Jia Xu in front of him and said, "Okay, don't you recognize me? This trick It’s enough to use it once, don’t use it again, your strategy in Guishuang is good, it’s amazing, it doesn’t cost a single soldier, hehe, all the officials in the temple were deceived by you.”

Jia Xu just looked at him suspiciously and ignored him at all.

"No need to pretend, I don't know you old man? You'll be fine when I die. You've been pretending to be rotten for decades! The emperor has agreed to your resignation. However, it is your strategy to subvert Guishuang, and you have to help your disciple think about countermeasures, if something goes wrong, it is your disciple's responsibility."

"I've said everything I need to say. Of course, if you don't care about this disciple, then it doesn't matter...I'm leaving, let your disciple know. If you have any difficulties, go to Shangshutai to find me, and I will help you deal with it ", Xun Yu said, stood up, and walked out of the inner room, Xu Fu who was staying at the door did not expect Xun Yu to come out so quickly, so he sent him out of the mansion.

Back in the inner room, Jia Xu still looked at the front blankly.

"Master, come, lie down."

"who are you?"

"I'm Yuanzhi, Shijun, your disciple." Xu Fu said tremblingly.

"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi." Jia Xu said, suddenly, he started to cry.

"Yuanzhi, take me home, I want to go home, I didn't lie.. I didn't lie"

"I want to go home"

With tears in his eyes, Xu Fu sat beside Shijun, hugged the thin Shijun lightly, and comforted him: "Shijun, I'll take you back, don't cry, I'll take you back now, don't care, what? Guishuang, what kind of temple, I don’t care about it, I will prepare the chariots and horses to take you home now!” In the arms of the disciple, Jia Xu trembled slightly, with a childlike expression, crying out of grievance.
