Zhu Jun and Guo Jia looked at each other. Sun Ce's decision seemed to be a compromise, but the result was not what they wanted.

The two hesitated for a moment, and Zhu Jun took the initiative to say, "Will it be appropriate to suddenly separate?"

"Just just separate for the time being." Sun Ce took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhu, Fengxiao, I have an idea. In addition to the Governor's Office and the Military Advisory Office, another Military Information Office will be set up to be responsible for handling military information. What do you think?"

Zhu Jun stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed. "I think it's OK. Now the war zone is getting bigger and bigger, and military affairs are becoming more and more complicated. Everything is handled by the Military Advisory Office. Guo Jijiu's burden on his shoulders is too heavy, so someone should share some of it. He specializes in his profession and is beneficial to state affairs."

Sun Ce turned to look at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia smiled. "Even if the king doesn't say it, I have this suggestion. Recently, undercurrents inside and outside Jianye City were surging, and the military division's detailed camp was busy day and night. Guoyuan wore two pairs of shoes in half a month and lost seven or eight kilograms. If he didn't adjust the manpower, I was worried that he would be exhausted. A separate MIIS department was set up to be responsible for military information collection and analysis. The military division department was focused on formulating situation analysis, military planning, and each performed its own responsibilities, so the efficiency would be higher. I suggested that Guoyuan would be the first MIIS department priest."

Zhu Jun glanced at Guo Jia in surprise. He knew that although Guo Jia was from Ruying, he was not very concerned about the interests of the Ruying faction and had no words to say about his loyalty to the King of Wu. However, he still surprised him by recommending Guo Yuan as the first MIIS. Guo Yuan was from Qingzhou, and if the Ruying faction knew about this, he would definitely curse him.

Sun Ce did not argue. He had no doubts about Guo Jia himself, but he knew that Guo Jia was not alone. There were a large group of people standing behind him, and many things had to be scruples. Guo Jia recommended Guo Yuan as a sacrificial officer of the Military Intelligence Department, and it was hard to say that it was not about retreating or advancing. The power of the Qingzhou system was limited. Guo Yuan had insufficient qualifications in the Military Advisory Department, so it was not his turn. It was not necessarily a good thing to surpass the level and promote him.

Besides, he has a more suitable candidate.

"Fengxiao, what have Guoyuan gained recently?"

"There is no specific conclusion yet, but there are some clues. King, recently some people in Jianye City have been making trouble and attacking the king's theory of gender equality by discussing Master Xu's theory, which has attracted some people. After receiving the news, I sent Guoyuan to investigate, but those people were hidden among the scholars and have not revealed their true appearance and cannot determine the true mastermind. When there is news, I will bring Guoyuan to report to the king."

Sun Ce originally wanted to ask Guo Jia about this. Since Guo Jia had made arrangements, he would not mention it and instead talked about the location of the observation station.

Zhu Jun had some objections to the construction of an observatory on Zijin Mountain. He believed that the reason why he valued the observation of celestial phenomena in the past was because the power of the king was granted by the divine authority. The celestial phenomena corresponded to the government affairs. The court established an order to support these people. Da Wu separated the will of heaven from personnel and the celestial phenomena. The celestial phenomena could no longer serve the court directly, but instead led to some ambiguity. There was no need to build an observatory for such a lot of effort. Now that the front line is long, the troops are short of strength, and there are too many places that require money and food. Building an observatory can be slowed down.

When Zhu Jun made his opinion, Sun Ce could only smile bitterly, but it was difficult to directly refute Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun was an old minister he specially invited, and his thoughts were somewhat conservative, so it was normal that he could not keep up for the moment. Fortunately, Zhu Jun was considering the overall situation and rarely expressed similar suggestions in the public court. When he had a private opinion, he asked him to say a few words and express his true thoughts. It was better than hiding them.

Guo Jia understood Sun Ce’s thoughts and said nothing. Nominally, he is Zhu Jun’s subordinate and should not have conflicts. If you have any opinions, just tell Sun Ce in private.

After talking about the observatory, Sun Ce was tired and told Zhu Jun to hurry up and adjust the combat plan as soon as possible, so he returned to the harem. He did not go to Feng Wan's Tianxiang Hall as planned, but came to Zhen Mi's Jinghong Hall. Zhen Mi's mother, Mrs. Zhang and two sisters were also there. Seeing that Sun Ce was coming, he was a little uneasy. After finishing the salute outside the hall gate, he made a few remarks and stood up to say goodbye.

Sun Ce was somewhat surprised. Mrs. Zhang didn't just arrive in Jianye. She had time during the day, and it was a bit unreasonable to be in the palace so late. He didn't ask much, but Zhen Mi saw that he was in a bad mood. She thought it was because her mother and sister were stranded for too long. She carefully explained that her mother and sister entered the palace in the afternoon and said that she had heard some rumors outside and was worried that it was related to her, so she came to the palace to ask.

"I said it has nothing to do with this matter, but they didn't believe it and questioned it again and again." Zhen Mi felt aggrieved and pouted.

"What's up?"

Zhen Mi held her hands, stood aside, secretly glanced at Sun Ce, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Sun Ce was a little impatient. "Can't you say it?"

Zhen Mi became even more nervous and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not that you can't say it, it's... I don't know the details. I just heard my mother talk about it, and I don't dare to speak nonsense. I originally wanted to wait for some time to inquire and report it to the king at the right time, but now..."

Seeing Zhen Mi so timid, Sun Ce realized that he was in a bad mood today, so he scared her, slowed down and stretched out his legs. "Today, I went up and down the mountain, ran for a day, and my legs were a little tired. A Mi, wait a little, please help me pinch it."

"Okay, okay." Zhen Mi responded repeatedly, ordering people to get hot water, serve Sun Ce to wash, and soak her feet. After a busy schedule, the tense atmosphere unknowingly dissipated most of the time. Zhen Mi sat in front of Sun Ce, helping Sun Ce beat his legs while talking about the reason why his mother Mrs. Zhang entered the palace. Recently, several scholars appeared in Jianye City, linking Xu Yue's elliptical orbit theory with equality between men and women, saying that the earth not only revolves around the sun, but also revolves around the moon. The sun is the king, and the moon is naturally the queen. Since men and women are equal, women can also be officials, the queen should take charge of the court and rule together with the king.

In addition to Xu Yue's mathematical theory, they also have an argument that the king is called the head of the country, and is like the head of the man. According to the latest research by the doctor, the head of the man is actually not a whole, but is divided into two halves.

This statement attracted a lot of people and caused a lot of controversy. There were many people who opposed it and supported it. Because it involved the queen, Mrs. Zhang, the mother of Zhen Mi, was worried that it was Zhen Mi's work, so she came to the palace to ask, asking her not to make trouble.

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Among the women in the harem, Zhen Mi was the most restless. When he first heard this, he suspected that Zhen Mi was making trouble behind the scenes. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he gave up this idea. Zhen Mi was a smart person. She should know that even if she deposed Yuan Heng or even Yuan Quan, she would not be the turn of her to be the queen. She would only give up other people, such as Huang Yueying. She would not do such things that harm others and do not benefit herself.

When Sun Ce laughed, Zhen Mi blushed in embarrassment and said bitterly: "Master, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Although I am stupid and do not know the general, it is not so ridiculous. This is someone who is framed by me, please check it out."

Sun Ce raised his hand and pinched Zhen Mi's nose lightly. "Look, even your mother thinks it is you, which shows that the impression you usually give people is simply a ready-made scapegoat and shield."

"Not that, I regretted it too much, but I didn't take any regret medicine. Speaking of which, I was too young when I left home and didn't understand the worldly ways, so I fell into the trap of the human beings." Zhen Mi said as she sobbed, and tears fell down.

"Okay, just be careful in the future. Stop crying, it's not good to look good when you cry." Sun Ce sat up, took Zhen Mi's face, and wiped away the tears with a handkerchief. "Think about it, who will make trouble behind the scenes?"

"This... I dare not say it."

"I'm sorry for your guilt, let's hear it."

"really?"

"Have you deceived you?"

"That's not." Zhen Mi burst into tears and laughed, pounding her legs and tilting her neck for a while. "I think it doesn't seem like what the sisters in the palace can say."

"Why?" Sun Ce said with a smile. Zhen Mi was really good at speaking. She took out the palace first, so as not to have a bad impression of talking about right and wrong behind the scenes. Zhen Mi did not answer directly and asked back, "Who is the best knowledge of these sisters in the palace?"

Sun Ce thought for a while. "In terms of literature, I'm afraid the queen and sister Quan are the best, and you are not weak either. In terms of real learning, Achu should be the best. In terms of calligraphy and painting, Ahe should be the best at it."

"Did you hear that who sister in the palace is familiar with the Taixuan Sutra?"

"Taixuan Jing"?"

"Yes, those articles contain the content of "Taixuan Jing". I heard from Lu Langzhong that the "Taixuan Jing" deliberately imitate the "Yi", and the writing is ancient and profound, and few people have studied it. Although Yuan's family is acquainted with Yi, it is Meng's Yi, which is far from the "Taixuan Jing". Besides, the queen is steady and will not do such stupid things. As for others, I have never heard of anyone related to scholars studying the "Taixuan Jing", so this matter should have nothing to do with the sisters in the palace. I would like to say that this may be a meticulous act from Western Shu. Yang Xiong, the author of "Taixuan Jing", was originally from Western Shu. In order to compete with my Great Wu, it is reasonable to advocate the "Taixuan Jing".

Sun Ce was surprised and couldn't help but say, "Ami, you and Gu thought of going together."

Zhen Mi was both surprised and happy. "The king thought so too?"

"Well, although Gu still doesn't know the relationship with the Taixuan Jing, Gu thought about it over and over again. If he investigated this matter in large quantities, the person who benefits the most was not others, but Western Shu. Hebei was pacified, Wei and Zhongshan were destroyed one after another. Shu had to react and sent spies to Jianye to disperse rumors, which made me lose my ground. It was undoubtedly the lowest cost but the best effect. With Cao Cao's character, there was no reason to not use it."

Zhen Mi blinked and said, "King, this is just my guess after all, what if it is not the spy from Western Shu who did it?"

"If it is not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Shu will be destroyed sooner or later."
