Sun Ce looked at Liu Xie quietly, with a little pity and a little regret in his eyes.

He is a smart person, but unfortunately he can't chew too much, and he is still a fool in the end. He is not like this alone, but the elites of this era are like this, but most people are not as smart as him and have not touched the ceiling. Those who touched the ceiling die early. This kind of mysterious thought is fascinating and exhausting. Once he is addicted to it, most of them die young.

If you don’t leave your home, you will know the world; if you don’t peek at the window, you will see the way of heaven. I don’t know how many people this sentence has harmed. Two thousand years later, there are still people who are tirelessly trying to find a way to solve all myths. Unfortunately, they will always be watching flowers in the fog. Without the support of science, philosophy will inevitably become metaphysics.

"I... was wrong?" Liu Xie was uneasy when Sun Ce saw it, and his momentum became weaker, and he murmured.

"Are you going to stand here and say?" Sun Ce snorted. "It doesn't matter. I can stand with you for a day. How long can you last?"

"I..." Liu Xie's forehead was covered with fine sweat beads. I didn't know if it was tired or nervous, but his body shook for a while.

Seeing this, Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "The King of Wu is right. It is better to sit and talk about it. Come and prepare tea, and ask Your Majesty to discuss the truth with the King of Wu..."

"Huh?" Sun Ce frowned slightly, looking at Xun Yu with an unhappy expression. Xun Yu was stunned and a little embarrassed. Liu He turned his eyes and stepped forward to support Sun Ce's arm. "Jun Xun, there is only brother-in-law and inner brother here, so there is no emperor or King Wu." He said to Sun Ce again: "Husband, my brother is injured and cannot stand for a long time. It's better to sit in the hall. If there is anything wrong with him, please teach him."

"I am usually depressed, but when I mention my brother, I will become smart. You are scheming enough." Sun Ce touched Liu Hehong's swollen forehead. "Let me find a doctor and use some medicine, so don't break the appearance. Then prepare some ginseng soup and honey tea to avoid being exhausted and saying it's unhappy."

Liu He stuck out his tongue, responded obediently, and turned around to make arrangements. Sun Ce carried his hands behind his back and went to the hall to sit on his own, and sat down at the chairman. Xun Yu saw it, but he had no choice but to support the emperor to come to the hall and take the seat at the guest seat. Liu Xie was assured, sat down slowly, and then signaled Xun Yu to take the seat, and then saluted Sun Ce again.

"Please give me advice."

After hearing the word "brother-in-law", Sun Ce nodded and his face calmed down. "I just said to Xun Jun and your sister that I can meet you, but I cannot guarantee that I will satisfy you. This is not a refusal, but because I don't know if there is a consistent way between heaven and earth. If you want to ask such a way, you don't have to speak. I don't know it myself, so naturally there is no way to tell."

The emperor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "Since that's the case, let's talk about specific things, such as the way of governing the country. My brother-in-law started in Xiangyang in the second year of Chuping, and in less than ten years, he had a world. He must have experience in governing the country. If he is not talented, he dares to ask for advice."

Yue Wu served tea, Sun Ce picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Of course there is a way to govern the country, but the way to govern the country that I understand may be different from the way you imagined."

Liu Xie smiled bitterly. "Yes, my brother-in-law practices the kingly way, and I practices the domineering way. There is a difference between clouds and mud, so it is naturally different."

"What I said is different is not a kingly or a domineering difference." Sun Ce put down the teacup, lifted the teapot, and poured water into Liu Xie's cup. Liu Xie's teacup originally had a lot of tea, and Sun Ce poured some of it and was filled, but Sun Ce continued to pour it until the tea was flooded, winding on the lacquer table, dripping along the edge of the desk, soaking Liu Xie's clothes.

"King, you are..." Xun Yu was shocked and hurried over to stop him. Liu Xie stared at the already full teacup, suddenly realized something, and bowed to Sun Ce. "Shame, please give me advice. Xie should donate all the old learning to bring about new knowledge."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed, and he was indescribable in his heart. This kid really has some wisdom, and it would be a pity not to be a monk.

Xun Yu also reacted, looked at Liu Xie in surprise, then at Sun Ce, and shook his head with self-deprecating sway. He claimed to be smart, but in front of these two young men, his reaction was a little unsatisfied. He waved and ordered people to come and wipe the water marks.

"Mr. Xun, can I ask you a question?"

"I dare not." Xun Yu bowed and bowed.

"Do you think the way to govern a country is within the Six Classics, within the various schools, or outside?"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment. "Not inside or outside. What the sages said is the way to govern the country, and there is no other meaning. It is just that the purpose and intention are deep, and we do not understand it enough, so there will be deviations, and it is inevitable that we will miss ten."

Sun Ce turned to look at Liu Xie. "What do you think?"

Liu Xie thought about it seriously. "Sages are also human beings, born between heaven and earth. Although what they see and think beyond ordinary people, they cannot be seen everywhere. Moreover, the way of governing a country should change according to the times. The three generations are different from ancient times, the spring and autumn are different from the three generations, and the Han Dynasty is different from the Spring and Autumn Period. The sages do it because of the times, and they must be limited by the times and have some shortcomings."

"Your Majesty..." Xun Yu changed his face and his tone became stern.

Liu Xie smiled, a little tired, but extremely determined. "Mr. Xun, there is no Your Majesty here, there is only a person who is looking for the way up and down."

Xun Yu couldn't bear it, and sighed softly, but stopped talking. Liu He walked over, followed by two maids, holding some ginseng soup and honey tea. Seeing that Liu Xie looked tired, he quickly fed Liu Xie some ginseng soup. Xun Yu also drank some honey tea, but could not suppress the bitterness in his mouth, so he had to lower his head and hide his uneasiness and sigh in his heart.

Sun Ce watched quietly, and after Liu Xie drank the ginseng soup, his spirit was regained, then he continued: "If you are a sage, don't ask him. Anyway, I don't believe in the fact that Confucius has made the Han law. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Instead of searching for chapters and summarizing sentences, and trying to seek the way to govern the country from the sage's scriptures, it is better to do something honestly and solve the most basic problem. For me, there are two basic problems: one is to eat, and the other is to be safe. If you want to eat, you must let the people live and work in peace and produce enough food. Food is the most important thing for the people. Without food, it is useless to say anything. To seek safety, you must have enough force, not be afraid of anyone, or any form of robbery."

Liu Xie thought for a long time and nodded. "Land annexation and abandonment of military system are indeed chronic diseases of this dynasty. Since Emperor Guangwu, he has wanted to solve this problem, but it has never been solved. Instead, it has become more and more intense and finally out of control. To this day, thunder means have to be used."

Xun Yu couldn't help but say, "The king's thundering methods are indeed immediate, but not a strategy for long-term stability. The aristocratic families are not born to take advantage of themselves, but also caused by the accumulation of virtues of all generations. Although the old aristocratic families have gone, the new aristocratic families have been born again, can the king stop them?"

"Can the world have a strategy for governing the country that can last forever and last forever?" Sun Ce shook his head. "I don't think there is, nor do I have extravagant requirements. I can only solve the problem in front of me first, and then consider the problem in the future. If the problem in front of me cannot be solved, but I am delusional about long-term stability, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

Xun Yu was speechless and opened his mouth several times, but he was speechless. This is not the case now. Sun Ce's way of governing the country may not be able to be stable for a long time, but at least he has no opponent at the moment. You can say that he has no foresight and only cares about the present moment, but he at least cares about the present moment.

"I read less and do not believe that the heavens will not change, nor will the Tao. There will always be new problems, and there will definitely be. We can learn from history, but we cannot copy them. After all, people still have to move forward. Instead of believing that the ancients had the same way of governing the country forever, it is better to believe that future generations have the ability to solve the problems they need to face. I am not a saint and do not have the ability to create peace forever. I just want to do the present and solve the problems I am facing now, so that more people have the opportunity to live with dignity through their own efforts."

Sun Ce paused and said, "The way is very far away and people are very close. If you don't let others live with dignity, he will let you die without dignity, and even ants can destroy the palace. The foundation of the people's country, do you treat the people as ants, trample on their dignity and hope that he can provide you with his blood and sweat?"

Sun Ce turned to Xun Yu. "Jun Xun, why did you follow the new policy in Guanzhong achieve little success? Why did the craftsmen you poached from the Nanyang workshop return to Nanyang one after another?"

"Dare to ask for advice."

"You regard yourself as a gentleman and as a herdsman. In your eyes, what are the people, are they people like you, or livestock like cattle and sheep? Have you ever truly regarded the craftsmen who returned to Guanzhong from Nanyang as hopes to save the court and trust them?"

Xun Yu's face changed and he sighed softly. "It turns out that the secret of the king's victory has always been in front of me, but I have no eyes and ignore it."

Liu Xie was sad. "The way is not far away from people, but people are far away. The ministers are the people and the people are the scholars. It seems that there is a slight difference, but the winners are thousands of miles apart. Although the king does not study, he secretly conforms to the way of the saints, and it is certain that he will dominate the world. I am not wronged." He stood up and bowed respectfully to Sun Ce. "Thank you for your advice, I am grateful."

Sun Ce stood up straight and bowed to return the gift.
