There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"That Jia Xu, is it still useful?" The potter said indifferently.

Tao Ji nodded and said: "The old man usually lives in seclusion, but as long as I ask him about anything, he will know everything."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "That's good. He's an outsider, he sees things more thoroughly, and he's getting older. He has nothing else to pursue in his life. He just wants to have a good end and treat him well, as well as the one who surrendered." Cao Ang, we must give him a happy ending."

"Father, don't worry, it's mother, are they okay? I heard that over the years, my father got me some younger brothers and sisters?"

The potter raised his eyebrows: "It's cloudy and rainy, so if you're idle, you're idle. Is it hindering you by having a baby?"

Tao Ji shook his head vigorously, and said, "That's not true. I'm just afraid that my father will be overworked. Isn't the child honoring you? When will mother and the others come back?"

"Come on, their team has entered Middle Earth, and you will be able to see them after a while."

Tao Ji was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Father wrote to me last time, and when I come back this time, I want to keep Sima Yi behind."

The pottery merchant nodded and said: "Yes, Zhongda has been by my side all these years. When you were young, I was afraid that he would bully you if you kept him in the court. Now you have grown up and controlled the power of the court." , It should be to let him stay by your side. The capable people of my generation are getting older. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi will be your two arms in the future, and they will also be the existence that will restrain each other in the court in the future. You should make good use of them unless As a last resort, the delicate balance between them in court must not be broken."

Tao Ji straightened his face, bowed his head and said, "I would like to follow my father's instruction, but my father also sits in the court, so I don't need to worry too much about the child."

The potter said with a smile: "Stop dreaming, who said I want to stay here?"

Tao Ji's face changed when he heard the words: "Father won't stay in the court, what are you asking for? Do you still want to go out to fight?"

"I can't go out to fight. There are too many rumors. I am the Taiping King who protects the country. Jinling City is my fief. Naturally, I want to go to Jinling."

"Why didn't father stay in Chang'an and help me?"

The pottery merchant patted him on the shoulder: "There is no room for two tigers on one mountain. You are the emperor of Great Chu. If I stay here, you are not comfortable doing things? And I am in Jinling City. Although it is far away, it is like a tiger entrenched. If I don't think about it, it will naturally stop a lot, and it will also allow you to let go of your hands and feet and do things slowly. And in Jinling City, I still have a lot of things I want to do, such as raising goldfish, practicing calligraphy, getting a few football teams, wrestling Team or something, the good days are still to come, who wants to stay in this crappy place like Chang'an."

Tao looked at him silently, and suddenly said after a while, "Father, my son has always wanted to ask my father a question."

"what is the problem?"

"The reason why father is not emperor is because of Brother Xi?"

Tao Shang smiled, then pointed to his heart, and said: "A person has to live for himself in this life, but he can't live for himself entirely. While being worthy of himself, he must also be worthy of those who should be cherished. I have never I live for others, but I am also lucky to be alive, so why should some things be so serious? Your father and I have completed our merits and virtues in this life."

Tao silently looked at his father, lost in thought for a while.
