Silent Life

After the king’s great funeral, some court opinions said that “the national treasure should be relocated to Jingzhou.” At night, the chief clerk of Guo Bao sent a letter to report the matter, saying, "The matter of Jingzhou has been settled." Guo Bao was overjoyed, and at night he opened and closed the door, calling Gang Ji to talk about the situation. Although he was not as good as the one who made the Jingzhou expedition, he looked very calm. In the morning, he sent someone to inquire about it, but there was no such thing. He immediately called the chief clerk and asked him, "Why are you misleading others?"
