Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhuge Liang and Wu Guotai discussed "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" for about half an hour. Sun Quan, who was listening, was able to interject at first, but slowly shut up and could only listen to his mother and Zhuge Liang talking back and forth. "Spring and Autumn" talks about "Relying on the King" in "Lu Shi Chunqiu".

"If the way of the king is not abolished, the benefit of the world is also. Therefore, if the king is abolished, he will be established to practice the way of the king. What is the way of the king? Benefits and things benefit. Therefore, the long-term concern of the world is better than the son of heaven; the long-term concern of a country It is better to set the king. To set the king is not to be the king, to set the emperor is not to be the son of heaven, to set the officer is not to be the officer. If virtue declines and the world is chaotic, then the emperor will benefit the world, the king will benefit the country, and the officials will benefit the officials The reason why this country is prospering and abolishing is also why it is chaotic and difficult.”

Wu Guotai slowly recited this short passage from "The King" to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang frowned and thought for a while before speaking.

"Is the Guotai going to abolish the establishment?"

What a keen Kong Ming.

Wu Guotai frowned, "It's not good to talk about abolishing the establishment. From where did you enter the chaotic palace? The people of Li have been in chaos for more than ten years. Not to mention the Yellow Turban Army who was in power earlier. Kong Ming, you think the world should go on like this ?"

"Of course not."

Zhuge Liang's ten years of ups and downs made him realize that the world must be stable, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou took advantage of the contradictions among the five surnames to achieve a temporary delicate balance. Once one family declines or grows bigger, this balance will break. Jingzhou is a disaster.But in Yangzhou, I heard from my elder brother that everything is pinned on Wu Hou Sun Ce.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Sun Quan who was sitting beside him. These two young masters had mediocre academic performance and just the intelligence of ordinary people.

"Does Guotai think that the emperor has a chance to decide the Han Dynasty?"

"The chance is not great. If there is no Bofu to pay tribute first, none of the fourteen states in the world will be willing to serve the emperor. If you have no food, you will sit in a sad city and wait for foreign ministers to worship. Do you think he has the ability to save the already collapsed state? Han room?"

Zhuge Liang fell into silence again.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head and asked, "Does Guotai want to encroach on Jingzhou's land in the east of the Yangtze River to resist the Second Yuan?"

Wu Guotai nodded.

"It would be difficult to keep a square inch of paradise and the people without this move."

Zhuge Liang pondered, thinking about the difference between Xuzhou and Jingzhou in the scene of stepping into the Wuhou district all the way, and thinking about the people in the north who abandoned their homes and businesses to come to Jiangdong to escape the war, he stood up and bowed down.

"Liang is willing to follow Guotai and Wuhou to fight for a happy land for the people."

Wu Guotai hurriedly asked Sun Quan to help Zhuge Liang, and said to him with a smile: "Kong Ming, you are only one year older than Zhongmou now. Although you have read a lot of scholars, I arranged for half a day to study and half a day to follow Wu Hou. How about being a secretary by your side?"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed again to thank him. It was great to be able to find a position in the Governor's Mansion, and the secretary next to Marquis Wu.Ever since my uncle fell ill, I wanted to find a position in Jingzhou to take on the responsibility of supporting my family, but it was even difficult to be a subordinate official for my uncle.

Wu Guotai asked Sun Quan to return the courtesy, "Since you agreed, Zhongmou gets up early every day to practice martial arts with Bofu. If you want to, you can practice with their brothers. In the morning, you can work with Bofu, and you two can study together in the afternoon. The lecturer It may be Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, or any adult who is outstanding in a certain field, and I hope you have some spare time to give some advice."

He immediately realized that Wu Guotai's arrangement was in his best interest, and it was also the best for Zhuge's family.

Sun Quan watched the conversation between his mother and Zhuge Liang, and was convinced that his academic performance was better than his own.Hurry up and salute Zhuge Liang.

"Brother Kong Ming, please give me your advice."

During the half-morning interview, Zhuge Liang got a full-time colleague and classmate, and then he and Sun Quan bid farewell to Mrs. Wu, and went to Sun Ce to start his career as a clerk.

Back home at night, Zhuge Liang told his uncle, stepmother, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jun about his experiences of the day.Although Zhuge Xuan suffered from illness for a long time and had a hard journey, he first untied some knots in his heart, and now he saw that Zhuge Liang had also been appointed as the clerk in the governor's mansion. Worried about having no future in the future?And every afternoon, he could read books with the princes in Marquis Wu's mansion. This is because Marquis Wu valued Ziyu and his brothers.The more Zhuge Xuan thought about it, the happier he became, and his whole body glowed with vitality like a dead tree in spring.

"Ziyu, Kong Ming, you are highly valued by Marquis Wu, so do your job well wholeheartedly and conscientiously."

"Here." The two brothers quickly stood up and responded.

Zhuge Jin waited for Zhuge Liang to finish his day's work before talking about the arrangements for Zhuge Jun.

"Zhang Zibu asked about the progress of Ah Jun's studies today, and then said that there are many young princes in Wuhou's mansion, and the officials in the governor's mansion have nephews and nephews who are about the same age, and they all study with them. Start reading at the hour of every day , Chenzheng is preparing breakfast at the governor's mansion, and there is also lunch at noon, please ask me to bring Ah Jun there tomorrow."

Tears welled up in Xiao Tan's eyes, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but couldn't stop sobbing.In just half a month, the family fell from a desperate Jedi to a honeypot all of a sudden.

"Ziyu, it's a good thing you came to Soochow." Xiao Tan praised Zhuge Jin from the bottom of her heart.Although this step-eldest son is not as close as Kong Ming and Ah Jun, he has always treated him with respect and courtesy without neglect.

"Brother, fortunately you have won the respect of Marquis Wu."

Zhuge Jun is very happy, he will have a new classmate tomorrow, he is eager to try and can't wait to study with the new classmate.

Zhuge Jin wanted to say that Wu Guotai valued himself more, but he swallowed what was in his heart.For Marquis Wu, Wu Guotai is the person he trusts and relies on the most. Their mother and child love each other deeply, so he should not say spoiling things at this time. I believe that Kong Ming's intelligence has already seen it.

There have been some changes in the north-south pattern this year, mainly because Cao Cao in Yanzhou finally won Xuzhou.The resentment towards Xuzhou that was suppressed in his heart couldn't be tolerated any longer.

He was also afraid of holding himself back.

So Xiapi was led by Cao Cao to lead Yishui and Surabaya to pour into the city, and then after being breached by Cao Cao, it encountered another massacre and looting.

Cao Cao and his soldiers calmed down after venting for a few days. He found that things had been overdone, but he could no longer face the consequences.

"Rentu" became Cao Mengde's alias, and in a short period of time it was once again spread across the country, becoming a notoriety that could stop children from crying at night.

Xun Yu received a letter from Sun Ce from Soochow, in which there were only a few splash-ink-like large characters - Xunshi, the mastermind of the human slaughter.

Xun Yu swayed a few times before he didn't fall. He knew that Sun Ce was forcing himself to make a choice.If he continues to assist Cao Cao, then it will not be long before the Xun family is the one who gave Cao Cao the idea to massacre the city, and the Xun family will be permanently designated as the "mastermind of the human massacre".

Let yourself abandon Cao Cao and go to Jiangdong?Xun Yu was reluctant to part with the position he had obtained by Cao Cao's side.Over the past few years, he has successfully transferred from the position of counselor to internal politics.In layman's terms, it is from Zhang Liang's position to Xiao He's position.

I can't bear it!

But what about Xun's reputation?What about the name behind the annals of history?What should the descendants of the Xun family do?

Xun Yu hastily sent someone to invite Xun You to discuss with him. He and Xun You are cousins ​​and nephews of the same clan.Xun You prefers to hide behind the scenes to make suggestions, and rarely speaks in front of others.In the past two years, Guo Jia has been more favored by Cao Cao.

Xun You looked at the impatient Xun Yu and said, "Could uncle be intimidated by this false name? Yi Gongda seems to ignore it."

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant at all, Xun Yu held back his anger and said, "My Xun family's reputation for thousands of years is decided to be with you and me. You can just ignore it?! Why did the lord get the 'human slaughter'?" Isn’t it just that this bamboo paper spread the news of Xuzhou’s first massacre and the second massacre of Xuzhou to the world? Even if it helped the Han Dynasty in the future, how could this stigma be erased.”

"However, it was not your idea to massacre the city several times. You just helped Duke Ming guard Yanzhou before, and this time I only suggested Lu Bu. Such slander has nothing to do with us. Besides, the lord will win the world in the future, naturally. Being able to find out the owner of the bamboo paper and 'clarify' the massacre in the annals of history is its slander."

Xun Yu found that he and his nephew Xun You couldn't talk anymore. He realized the biggest difference between the two of them. He hoped that Cao Cao would become bigger and restore the Han Dynasty.Xun You is also looking forward to Cao Cao's growth, but he hopes that Cao Cao can win the world.

The so-called different Taoism does not conspire with each other, that is what it is talking about.

Xun Yu fell ill, and he couldn't get up to handle all the major military and political affairs. Cao Cao had to personally take care of a lot of trivial matters.

Xun Yu's illness was caused by Cao Cao realizing that he was indispensable to him, so Cao Cao ordered the best doctor he could hire to treat Xun Yu.

Several doctors replied that Xun Yu was caused by depression and lack of emotional will.

Cao Cao felt very baffled, he cared about Xun Yu very much, and spent a few days in Xun Yu's room when he had nothing to do.

"Wen Ruo, if there's something you can't think about, just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."

Xun Yu smiled wryly, "Nothing happened to Yu, it will be fine in a few days."

He regretted in his heart, regretted pretending to be ignorant of Cheng Yu's behavior; regretted trying his best to help Cao Cao save the three counties of Yanzhou;

But the whole family of the Xun family is in Yanzhou, and there is no way for him to lead the whole family away from Cao Cao. Xun Yu has tasted what it means to have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

It is strange that Cao Cao can believe it.But if Xun Yu didn't say anything, Cao Cao couldn't help it.

Cao Cao had no choice but to ask Xun You for advice.

"Gongda, Wen Ruo is seriously ill, why is he so depressed? I asked him several times and he refused to tell."

Xun You saw that Cao Cao really cared about Xun Yu, and Xun Yu didn't need to speak for him if he didn't talk about himself.

"Ming Gong also knows that my uncle and I have a normal relationship. I went to see him because he was sick, and I didn't ask why he got sick. Unexpectedly, the disease became more and more serious."

So everyone watched Xun Yu lose his vitality and gradually wither away day by day.
