Deng Ji went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Xun Yu and Guo Jia suddenly came to the door, which made Deng Ji feel uneasy.

He didn't know what the purpose of these two people was, but he vaguely felt that they were tempted to test. But what to test? Why to test? Deng Ji couldn't guess. He was not a quick-witted person to begin with.

This sudden situation naturally caused some panic.

"Sir, you are a great talent. How virtuous and capable Deng Ji is. He cannot afford such generous treatment from the Lord Attendant."

Deng Ji was born into a poor family. Although he was a member of the Dengcun tribe in Nanyang, he was just a branch. Xun Yu was born in the Yingchuan family. He had a prominent status and outstanding talents since he was a child. He had the talents of a king and assistant and was a famous person today. If we follow the nine grades of the Wei and Jin Dynasties

Deng Ji's background in Zhongzheng Zhilu was definitely below the fourth grade, maybe even fifth or sixth grade; while Xun Yu was actually born in the first grade, there was a world of difference between the two.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Deng, you are welcome. May I ask, sir, what books have you learned?"

This means you have to take stock of your basics and ask your teacher to learn from you!

Deng Ji did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied: "I have learned Xiao Du's rules."

"oh?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Xiao Du Lv is the Han Lv explained by Du Yannian, one of the famous eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion during the Western Han Dynasty. Du Yannian was the youngest son of Du Zhou, the imperial censor during the reign of Emperor Wu. Du Zhou was also a famous cruel official at that time, and he also compiled it.

In order to distinguish the father and son, the Han Code compiled by Du Zhou was called the Da Du Code, while the Han Code compiled by Du Yannian was called the Xiao Du Code.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiao Du Lv has been mostly used as the standard, and it continues to this day.

Guo Jia asked: "Which Fangxiao Dulu did you learn?"

Xiao Du Lv lasted for two hundred years, and naturally derived many changes. For example, Wu Ping, a court official during Emperor Shun's reign, studied Xiao Du Lv for three generations; during the Yongping period, Guo Gong was also famous for teaching Xiao Du Lv to his father for thirty years.

After the prison was broken, there were hundreds of disciples...

If there are more people studying this, differences will naturally arise.

There are theories such as Wu Men Du Lv and Guo Clan Du Lv, and there have always been disputes between them.

Deng Ji scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I learned the laws of Han Dynasty from Zhongsun."

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The so-called Zhongsun Han Code is the Xiaodu Code compiled by Guo Gong. Guo Gong, courtesy name Zhongsun, was from Yingchuan.

Xun Yu couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I never thought that you, a descendant of the Guo family, would be valued by others despite abandoning Xiao Du Lv."

Deng Ji was startled, "Guo Jijiu, is he a descendant of Duke Donghai?"

Donghai Gong refers to Guo Gong's father Guo Hong. It is said that Guo Hong has been in prison for thirty years without a single unjust, false or wrong case. He was named after the East China Sea, so he got the title of Donghai Gong. Guo Gong's name

The study of Xiaodu's laws was based on his father Guo Hong's case files. In the third year of Yuanhe, he revised the forty-one laws and regulations, changing heavy punishments to light punishments. He advocated that the final verdict should be lenient and lenient, which was praised by the world.

.

Guo Jia blushed and said nonchalantly: "Although Jia is a descendant of the Guo family, he has not studied the criminal law in depth."

When Deng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There were hundreds of disciples of Guo Hong, Guo Gong and his son, and what Deng Ji learned was just one of these hundreds. It can be said that it is very different from the original Zhongsun Han law, so he always wanted to study it seriously.

But Deng Ji also knew that it was understandable that Guo Jia did not learn criminal law. After all, he came from a wealthy family, and because the law was corrupted in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, few children from aristocratic families came into contact with this.

Deng Ji had no choice but to learn criminal law.

He had no access to any profound knowledge, so he had to study the law to make a living.

Xun Yu smiled and said: "In this case, sir and Fengxiao are from the same family."

"Can't do it, shouldn't do it..."

Deng Ji kept saying polite things.

"Your Excellency, please don't call me sir again. Deng Ji's cousin name is Shusun. You can call me by my first name."

"That's the case, then I won't be polite!" Xun Yu pondered for a moment and glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia nodded and said, "Uncle Sun Xiandi, Wen Ruo and I came here today to ask you something.

Uncle Sun Xiandi must also know that the land where Yuan Shao now leads Heshuo is feared by the world for its tyranny. Although Lord Sikong is based in the land of Henan and Yan, there is Lu Bu in the east and Zhangxiu in the south, which inevitably makes it difficult. These days, Lord Sikong has been coming and going a lot.

Everyone thought that the abnormality was due to the defeat at the hands of Zhang Xiu. I inquired yesterday and found out that it was because of a letter from Yuan Shao... Lord Sikong wanted to attack Yuan Benchu, but was worried that he would not be able to defeat him, so..."

"My dear brother, what do you have to say?"

Xun Yu stared at Deng Ji with burning eyes.

Deng Ji knew that this might be the most important opportunity in his life.

Before, although Man Chong valued him, Man Chong was a foreign minister after all. In terms of weight, he was far inferior to the two men in front of him.

Although it was not clear why Xun Yu and Guo Jia came to test him, they felt a little more excited in their hearts.

Deng Ji took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought for a long time before saying: "In ancient times, success or failure ultimately depended on talent. Therefore, those with talent could eventually defeat the weak with the strong, while those without talent would change from strong to weak. This is what Gaozu and Western Chu

The example of Overlord is enough to illustrate the problem...

Yuan Shao was a man who was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. He had many plans and few decisions, and he failed to establish laws.

Although its power is strong, it cannot last long. If you don't see the rock standing tall against the turbulent water, let the rapids take over and remain motionless. Although the dripping water is weak, the water droplets penetrate the stone... Today, Cao Gong is like a dripping water, Yuan Shao is like a turbulent flow. The turbulent flow cannot last long, but the dripping water can penetrate the stubborn stone.

Shi. ​​Duke Cao wants to conquer Yuan Shao, but he still needs to move slowly. If the tiger is not eliminated, Zhang Xiu is uncertain, and fighting with Yuan Shao will inevitably lead to instability in the rear, which is not a safe strategy."

A smile suddenly appeared on Xun Yu's face.

He and Guo Jia looked at each other, and at the same time stood up and raised their hands: "Now that I heard my uncle and grandson's words, I suddenly became enlightened."

Deng Ji quickly stood up and returned the gift, blushing slightly...

To be honest, he really didn't know the situation between Yuan and Cao. And with his ability, it was difficult to see the clues. Fortunately, when Cao Peng defected to him, Deng Ji heard from Wang Meng that Cao Peng had an affair with Sima Huihe.

Pang Ji was talking about the general trend of the world, so he also asked about it.

Cao Peng repeated the saying "Ten wins and ten losses".

Deng Ji was deeply impressed.

It's just that when Xun Yu asked him just now, he really couldn't remember the specific content of ten wins and ten losses.

Fortunately, Deng Ji also had his own understanding of ten wins and ten losses, so after a moment of thinking, he came up with the words he just said.

Xun Yu said: "Currently the Guanzhong is unstable, and the Qiang and Hu and Liu Jiyu are always threatening us.

Master Sikong is occupying Henan, Yan, but it is difficult to stabilize Guanzhong. I would like to ask Uncle Sun Xiandi if he has any advice on this?"

If Guo Jia's previous inquiry was about the general trend, then what Xun Yu is asking now is about the details.

Deng Ji pondered for a long time, "There are countless generals in Guanzhong, but they are not unified with each other. In fact, it is not difficult to stabilize Guanzhong. First, Li Jue and Guo Si must be eradicated as soon as possible; second, send people to be gentle and unite with the strong.

In this way, although it cannot last long, it can make them check and balance each other and maintain neutrality. However, to implement this method, a suitable person is needed. I am sorry that my knowledge is shallow and it is difficult to name the suitable person. "

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and remained calm.

After he and Guo Jia looked at each other, they nodded, stood up suddenly, and cupped their hands and said: "I have taken the liberty of disturbing you today, which has delayed my uncle and grandson a lot. Fengxiao and I will leave first. When you have some free time, your uncle and grandson may as well come over to our place."

Ichiban, it’s better to be closer to each other.”

Guo Jia also said: "Yes, although I have not studied criminal law, my ancestors have left records.

If uncle and grandson are interested, I will send those files over later... Haha, we are also considered to be from the same sect, so we should move around more in the future."

Deng Ji was overjoyed and cupped his hands to thank him.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia walked out of Huben Mansion side by side, but did not go to Cheqi Mansion.

The two of them talked in low voices as they walked.

"Wen Ruo, how about Deng Ji?"

"He has knowledge and talent." Xun Yu replied: "What he said is consistent with your and my opinions, and it is worth recommending. However, after all, he came from Nanyang County, so it is best to observe it again. It is better to observe it again.

So, should I ask someone to go to Jiyang to inquire about it?"

"That's very good. Although this person is not a king's assistant, he has the ability to make changes... I just remembered that during the Langling Rebellion not long ago, Man Boning sent a Western Supervisor Cao Bo to solve the matter easily.

.The western governor Cao Yu seems to be named Deng Ji."

"oh?"

"Xun Ji sent someone to inquire about this matter. Gongda also asked me once, but I didn't pay attention at the time."

Xun Yu gently rubbed his cheek and said, "So, Uncle Deng is really capable."

"Yes, but as you said, let's take another look."

The sudden visit from Xun Yu and Guo Jia really made Deng Ji nervous for a while.

He also didn't know how he responded, and whether it was in line with Xun Yu and Guo Jia's thoughts. With uneasy thoughts, he waited for two days, but during these two days, Xun Yu did not appear again. Guo Jia, on the other hand,

True to his word, he sent people to deliver many files and documents left by Guo Gong. Deng Ji felt a little disappointed, but soon he was attracted by those files and documents and put the matter behind him.

As for Cao Peng, he was not very clear about this matter.

Deng Ji was a very cautious person, and he did not want to tell others about the arrival of Xun Yu and Guo Jia until he understood their intentions.

Cao Peng himself was in big trouble.

Noriman seemed to have a bad temper after he failed to break into the formation.
