Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 527 The Mystery of Karma

"The generation of the Han Dynasty, Dang Tu Gao... Hehe, Yuan Shu's whimsy was exchanged for a single prophecy in "Chunqiu Prophecy". bottle?"

Zhang Miao couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable seeing Guo Jia hugging Mei Ji at this moment, speaking about the world's major events without any scruples.It wasn't that Zhang Miao was afraid that the conversation between the two would be revealed by an illiterate woman, but that the etiquette and customs he had accepted since childhood made him feel ashamed of Guo Jia's profligate demeanor.

Therefore, he tried his best not to touch Guo Jia's hand—to be precise, it was Guo Jia's hand that had penetrated into Mei Ji's arms. After Yuantao Tu, the great official of the Chen State, Shun’s descendants are also descendants. Today, the Yuan family has four generations and five princes, and it is the No.1 family in the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shu is the first son of the Yuan family, so it is not surprising to have such delusions.”

"The first half of the sentence, Lord Sheriff, is quite interesting, but the second half is really not up to par." Guo Jia sighed boredly, as if he was very distressed by Zhang Miao's short-sightedness.

"The words of sacrificial wine are wrong. This picture of prophecy is extremely mysterious. When Wang Mang usurped the Han, there was a prophecy that said, 'Liu Xiufa's soldiers will not be captured. Later, Emperor Guangwu pacified the world and stabilized the world, making the great Han who represents Huode continue to this day. Since Guangwu Zhongxing, everyone from the royal family to the common people has vigorously studied this technique. Does Jijiu have doubts about this?"

"If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it." Guo Jia replied indifferently, and his attitude clearly represented his contempt: "Even if everything has a definite destiny in the dark, a guy like Yuan Shu must not be a man of destiny. people."

Zhang Miao had a close relationship with Yuan Shu. In fact, he didn't like Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor, but Guo Jia's attitude towards learning made Zhang Miao even more annoyed. Speaking from the perspective, there is nothing wrong with Yuan Shu's whimsy. "Tu" means "road", and the word "tu" comes from Yuan Shu's word for highway. And Shouchun also has Dangtu County. Kuang Shun Tude, Yuan Shu can be regarded as the successor of Tude, the Great Han is Fire Virtue, and the fire gave birth to soil in the circulation of the five virtues. This is the sequence of the change of dynasties. It can be seen that there is a definite number, and the fate will return. Doesn’t it fully fulfill the prophecy?"

When Zhang Miao just said it, Guo Jia still looked a little indifferent, but later on, Guo Jia showed a more disappointed expression.But he seemed to be enduring it all the time, and only after Zhang Miao had said all this, he showed a secret smile: "All the things the sheriff said seem to make sense. But have you ever thought about it? Where does this seemingly mysterious but far-fetched explanation come from?"

"This?..." Zhang Miao turned pale with shock, he still remembered Guo Jia's smile so vividly.A few days ago, when Guo Jia entered his prefect's mansion to plot against him, his smile was exactly the same as that at this time.Guo Jia at this time is undoubtedly very scary, because it shows that he must be pregnant with a storm of conspiracy: "Could it be that this matter was also done by Meng De? Didn't you say before that this matter has nothing to do with you?" ?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. We just happened to find Zhang Jiong, a famous hexagram in Hanoi, and told him this sentence in "Chunqiu Prophecy". As for how Yuan Hou made Zhang Jiong his fate, and how to explain these nonsense Declare the world, but it has nothing to do with us."

Guo Jia has never been a reserved person. Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing with his stomach in his arms, as if he had encountered some extremely interesting event in the world, and emphasized again: "This really has nothing to do with us. If Yuan Shu hadn't He has the heart of arrogance, how can a small prophecy make him believe it so much?"

"You, you..." Zhang Miao's face was ashen. Suddenly, he remembered Guo Jia's comment on the relationship between Han and Cao.I remember that at that time, Guo Jia expected that there would be a peace talk between Han and Cao, and he was very troubled that Cao Cao did not have enough bargaining chips to make the Han Dynasty submit.

Now, the question is back to the original point, and Zhang Miao seemed impatient to ask again: "Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with you, I just want to know why Yuan Shu's arrogance and proclaiming emperor in Huainan forced His Majesty to agree with Cao Mengde Become a Hanchen again?"

"Junjiang, so you haven't figured out this simple relationship so far?" Guo Jia stroked the beauty's dimple pitifully, as if she felt that this beauty had an excellent face but no matching wisdom. Sad, but when he was doing this action, he didn't look at Meiji, but stared at Zhang Miao: "Forget it, since the feast is boring, I will explain it to the governor."

After saying this, Guo Jia put down his hand, sat up straight, pointed at Kong Kong and said: "Everything in the world is connected by cause and effect, and there is often a mutual cause and effect between things. For example, the Han Dynasty refused to restore me. The name of the Lord Hanchen is only because my Lord conquered Xuzhou and slaughtered one side, which is not in line with the way of heaven. And the Han Dynasty must uphold the way of heaven, um...or on the surface, we want the people of the world to think so, so these two things have happened cause and effect."

After saying this, Guo Jia curled his lips helplessly, as if he felt sorry for being reduced to explaining these things to Zhang Miao.At this moment, Zhang Miao's face became a little ugly. It's not that he didn't understand Guo Jia's words, but he was very cold and shocked by Guo Jia's attitude that didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of dead in Xuzhou.

But Guo Jia had already understood Zhang Miao's mood, and directly reached out to prevent Zhang Miao from opening his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything about Xuzhou's affairs. If this matter is related to the righteousness of heaven, I'm afraid you can't do it tonight." Knowing why the matter of Yuan Shu is related to Han Cao's negotiations."

After finishing this sentence, Guo Jia seemed to sort out his thoughts, and continued: "The matter of Yuan Shu, arrogating himself as the emperor, is a great disgrace in the world. Compared with the disaster in Xuzhou, it may not be painful enough, but for the Han Dynasty, its nature But it's completely overkill...Do I need to say more about the reason for this?"

"No need to be like this." Zhang Miao is loyal, but he is by no means ignorant. He naturally understands Guo Jia's meaning: the world is in turmoil, and the Han Dynasty is in decline. Centuries of incompetence and decay.

And precisely because of this, the Han Dynasty needed to establish its unique orthodox status.Yuan Shu's arrogance and proclaiming himself emperor had far less impact on ordinary people than the massacre of Xuzhou people, but it was an out-and-out subversion and blow to the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty.

For this kind of thing, the Han Dynasty must give a firm counterattack anyway.Not only must we completely defeat Yuan Shu, but we must also use our greatest determination and efforts to let the world know that the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty cannot be challenged.

"It's actually very easy when things get to this point. The governor of the county also knows that although our majesty is not yet at the age of a weak crown, he is not a faint-hearted and incompetent person, let alone a fool who uses his will. Therefore, he must weigh How much power should the Han Dynasty use to complete this matter perfectly."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia was a little reluctant to speak more, and just explained a few sentences casually: "Especially, when the Han Dynasty has to deal with the turmoil in Kansai and is trapped in the quagmire of Yanzhou, he will never It is impossible to bloom in all directions and make all the situations in the world so chaotic and out of control."

Zhang Miao fully understood this explanation, but after careful consideration, he still had the last trace of doubt: "But even so, will His Majesty restore Cao Mengde's position as Yanzhou Shepherd because of this?"

"Of course it's impossible." Hearing Zhang Miao's question, Guo Jia was so angry that he laughed: "How is this possible? After all, my lord still bears the unjust debts of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Xuzhou. Why should the Han Dynasty forgive them so easily?" my lord?"

"Then?..." Zhang Miao was completely confused by Guo Jia at this moment.

"Karma, Lord Magistrate, don't forget the karma I mentioned before." Guo Jia emphasized, and then he suddenly leaned in front of Zhang Miao, staring at Zhang Miao with bright eyes without blinking. When he was at a loss, he slowly laughed: "The matter of cause and effect can exist in itself, or it can be created artificially. Suppose, when Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, and the Han Dynasty has no time and energy to look around, I would like to act on behalf of His Majesty." I don’t know if it’s worth the merit to be a vanguard against Yuan Ni, because of my merits?”

Zhang Miao suddenly realized, but still murmured in disbelief: "So, so... But, but Yuan Shu's army is strong and powerful, and he is dominating Huainan, so what if Meng Deruo can't beat the thieves?"

"Oh...it's such a small matter," Guo Jia retreated, gave Zhang Miao some breathing space, and then replied lightly: "Then just defeat Yuan Shu, after all, Yuan Shu is really better than our Majesty." It's too much to deal with."
