Xun Yu rushed over and saw Liu Ye standing on the side of the road with his hands arched, lowered his head, and lonely expression. He was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

He had known Liu Ye for many years, and this was the first time he saw Liu Ye so depressed.

"Zi Yang, have you ever met the King of Wu?"

Liu Ye nodded with a wry smile but no explanation. He didn't know how to speak to Xun Yu. When Xun Yu saw him, he felt even more strange, but he didn't ask much. He glanced at the carriage next to him. "Where are you going?"

"I went home to study. I still had a few acres of land at home. My brother also runs a printing shop, and his life is safe."

Xun Yu frowned slightly, somewhat surprised. Liu Ye's talent was beyond doubt. He had a deep friendship with Lu Su, so why didn't Sun Ce use him? If Liu Ye refused to give up, why did he come to Dingtao?

Liu Yexin understood, but it was difficult to explain. He bowed and gave a bow. "I have worked together for many years and have received many teachings. There are abrupt points at times, so please forgive me."

Xun Yu quickly returned the gift. "Don't dare."

"As soon as we part, I have a few words, and I want to ask you to tell Your Majesty."

"Why don't you say it to Your Majesty in person?"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly. "I am afraid when I am in trouble, and I leave halfway, and I have no face to see Your Majesty again. Your Majesty...is it okay?"

Xun Yu sighed and shook his head. "The high fever does not subside. There are more times when you are unconscious and less when you are awake."

Liu Ye's nose felt sore and tears came down. "This is all my fault. I was frivolous and always wanted to win in danger, but I didn't know that the gap between the enemy and us was like heaven and earth, which led to such defeat."

Xun Yu frowned and looked at Liu Ye with his eyes fixed on him. Liu Ye was indeed responsible for the fight. He encouraged the emperor to go deep into the cavalry alone and attack Dingtao. After missing the opportunity, he did not retreat quickly, resulting in Lu Su's arrest and retreating in a mess. After suffering heavy damage, he met Lu Su again. Liu Ye must have had a certain understanding of the strength of both sides, and regret was inevitable, but he confessed that the gap between the enemy and us was as great as the world, which was too exaggerated. With his understanding of Liu Ye, he should not have made shocking words to shirk responsibility, but to find something and find it difficult to save it. He was discouraged and had no fighting spirit.

"Zi Yang, what do you know?"

"I believe that I can see clearly the talent of the king and the master, so why do you have to ask more questions? Lingjun, although Yizhou in Guanzhong is advantageous, it will never be able to defeat the world's general trend. In less than ten years, the world will be at peace, and it is inevitable that the country will change its surname. I just regret that I was blindly planning and failed to see the general trend clearly, so that Your Majesty missed an opportunity. Now Zhao Yun rushed to Guanzhong with an edict, and it is too late to regret it."

Xun Yu was shocked and could not speak for a moment. Did Liu Ye say this? He knew that Liu Ye had always opposed the people of Liangzhou to lead the people of Liangzhou into Guanzhong, and did not like to work with the scholars of Liangzhou. However, as a royal family, Liu Ye was more loyal to the emperor and the Han Dynasty than ordinary people, and he never said the abdication. Now that he actually said such words, what kind of stimulation did he suffer, so he was so frustrated?

"I know that Your Majesty has no choice but to come to see the King of Wu to solve the confusion in his heart. However, how can the secret of the saint of the Tao be passed on lightly? Therefore, I strongly opposed it at that time. Now Your Majesty is in Dingtao, and it is useless to say too much, but I still hope that the Lord can tell Your Majesty not to humiliate himself. The King of Wu will not tell him a word. It is better to seek oneself than to seek others. If you understand the great way, you should still read more and think more by yourself."

Xun Yu deeply felt the same way. Guo Jia had rejected him in person, and the emperor's hope was destined to fail.

Liu Ye smiled mockingly. "Actually, with the order of the king and the ministers, I don't have to vent my words, but I have to say it. Well, let's say that, please let me say goodbye to Your Majesty on my behalf. The guilty ministers will not say no." After saying that, he bowed deeply to Xun Yu, took two steps back, stood up, got on the car, and left without looking back.

Xun Yu didn't move, watching Liu Ye's carriage gradually distant, and said in a blank state.

The emperor woke up faintly, opened his eyes, and shouted softly.

Xun Yu was sitting by the couch thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't notice it for a while. It was not until the emperor slowly stretched out his hand and touched him that he came to his senses. Seeing that the emperor woke up, he was surprised and happy. While ordering people to prepare for food, he touched the emperor's forehead with his fingers.

"How many days have I slept?" the emperor said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, not long, not long." Xun Yu felt sad, but forced a smile. "Your Majesty has just slept for a while and is already in good spirits. I guess he is about to recover."

The emperor grinned, not revealing Xun Yu's lies. He was powerless, but his mind was particularly clear, knowing that he didn't have much time left. "Where is sister?"

"The eldest princess is praying for Your Majesty." Xun Yu brought a bowl of water and tried it carefully. "Your Majesty, this is the talisman water invited by the eldest princess for Your Majesty. It was given by the living god Yu Ji. You should drink it soon. It will be fine after drinking it."

The emperor didn't say anything, and drank a bowl of talisman water with Xun Yu's hand. Xun Yu wiped the corner of his mouth with a cloth towel, brought the porridge, and fed the emperor a few bites. The emperor obediently finished eating, burped, and then asked, "When will the King of Wu see me?"

"Your Majesty..." Xun Yu lowered his head and fiddled with the cloth towel. "Liu Ye has come."

"Ziyang, where is he?"

"He went home to study in seclusion."

The emperor was silent for a long time. "What else did he say?"

"He apologized to Your Majesty and said that the words are in your heart, not in your words, not in your words, and not in your words, and not in your words, and not in your words, and not in your words. Although the King of Wu is born intelligent, he does not read much after all, and even if he knows it, it is difficult to explain. Instead of asking the King of Wu, his Majesty should calm down and study."

The emperor turned his head to look at Xun Yu. "Lingjun thinks so too?"

"Yes, I think so too."

"Reading...what books should I read? The Six Classics or the Various Scholars? The Confucian Classics or the Taoist Classics, or the Futu Classics of the Western Regions? Why not ask me what books should I read when King Wu usually reads?"

Xun Yu heard about the emperor's ridicule, but he could only pretend not to know. The emperor also felt that his tone was too hard, and smiled apologetically, reached out to hold Xun Yu's hand, gasped for a moment, and said, "Let me, although I don't know what the way of King Wu is, I am clear that the way of governing the king of Wu is not in books, and to know it if you want to read books is tantamount to seek fish from a tree. The reason why you and my king and ministers are defeated may be defeated by this point. You are right, but the words are not fully expressed. The Six Classics are the words of the saints, and they cannot fully understand the words of the saints. How can they fully understand the words? After studying the scriptures for a long time, the gains are only the salvation of the saints. What kind of way can they be fully explained?"

Xun Yu looked at the emperor in surprise, wondering whether the emperor was sober or confused, how could he say such ruthless words? He actually questioned the saints and scriptures. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that what the emperor said was reasonable. To talk about reading, the emperor had read a lot of books over the years. Not only did he read Confucian classics almost all of them, but he studied them repeatedly, and many chapters could even be recited like streams, no less than doctors, but what was the result? He still failed.

In contrast, Sun Ce did not read much, at least he did not read more books than the emperor. This is proved by the eldest princess, and Guo Jia did not deny it either.

Is it useless to study, or is it Sun Ce born smart and no longer needs to study? Xun Yu didn't know, and he didn't even dare to think about this question. Now he was suddenly raised by the emperor, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Lingjun, prepare a famous sting for me. If you ask for advice, don't you want to vote for a famous sting first?"

Xun Yu stared at the emperor in a daze, and after a while, he said, "I am preparing for Your Majesty." As he said that, he lowered his head and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

The emperor came out for a while and murmured, "I have no words, and I am not in line with my rituals. Please give me a word. Also, where do you think I am from? Where is my hometown, Henan or Zhongshan?"

Xun Yu held the emperor's wet and cold hand and cried in tears.

Sun Ce looked at the brand new thorn in his hand, and then looked at Xun Yu who was lying in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.

Liu Xie was really obsessed with him and had to meet him. For this reason, he gave up all his dignity and sought a meeting as an ordinary scholar, and even gave himself a word: Shutong.

This word...is really good. Are you planning to be a monk?

Sun Ce gently placed Mingta on the table. "Why is it so persistent?"

"Your Majesty... Shutong has been a child and has no idea about anything and is uneasy to eat. He will definitely ask for solutions in all directions. Now he has not had many days left and has no other thoughts. He just wants to see the king, ask the reason for defeat, and ask for peace of mind. Yu is absurd, please give him mercy." Xun Yu said, and couldn't help but shed tears and couldn't stand up.

"Please give me mercy." Liu He also lay on the ground, his forehead hitting the ground, and asked for trouble.

Sun Ce's heart softened and he glanced at the Mingtao in his hand again. "Okay, I'll see him. But if you have something to say first, can you satisfy him? I don't guarantee it."

"Thank you, King." Xun Yu felt relieved and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Thank you, Husband." Liu He cried out and kowtowed repeatedly, making a sound. Sun Ce quickly got up and pulled her up. This silly princess is not smart at all, so don't break her mind anymore.

Sun Ce pulled Liu He and went to the yard where Liu He lived. Xu Chu had received a notice and arranged a guard to surround the courtyard. Yue Wu and several maids brought out from the palace knelt in the yard. Liu Xie also forced himself to stand up, dressed in his grand dress, stood at the steps, bowing and bowing, like a scholar. After a few days, he lost weight and his cheeks were concave. Although he applied rouge, he still couldn't see any anger. Only his eyes were surprisingly bright, which was so bright that it was uneasy.

Seeing Sun Ce approaching, Liu Xie took a step forward, overlapping his hands, raised them over his head, and bowed deeply. "Liu Xie, Zhongshan, whose courtesy name is Shutong, asked the King of Wu for his good health, and thanked the King of Wu for giving him a visit."

Sun Ce stood in front of Liu Xie, looked at Liu Xie carefully for a moment, and sighed softly: "Why are you doing this?"
