Xun Yu leaned against the wall of the car, looking at the willow branches that brushed through the car window from time to time, and was in a daze.

Mrs. Tang sat opposite, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Xun Yu quietly, holding an orange in her hand. The orange peel was divided into six petals in her clever hand, revealing the flesh wrapped around the silk thread. She carefully picked off the silk thread, put it on the orange peel, broke off a piece, and handed it over. Xun Yu reached out to pick it up, but she refused to let it go, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked at Xun Yu quietly. Xun Yu had no choice but to open his mouth and bit it gently.

"Is this from Jingzhou?"

"It should be right. Your Majesty rewarded ten pieces, and nobleman Fu gave ten more. I didn't ask about the details."

Xun Yu didn't say anything. Concubine Fu was pregnant with the emperor's blood and was about to give birth in two months. The imperial physician in the palace said that it might be a boy. If it was true, it would be the emperor's eldest son. Concubine Fu was likely to become the queen by her son.

Concubine Fu was Fu Wan's daughter. Princess Fu Wanshang was a royal relative. She was a family of classics and had nothing to say about knowledge and morality. Concubine Fu was originally a suitable candidate for the queen, but the situation is different now. The emperor moved the capital to Guanzhong, and the Shandong family was not valued. Concubine Fu greeted him and asked for help.

Xun Yu was very confused. From the bottom of his heart, he certainly hoped that Concubine Fu could become the queen, and that the prince would have the blood of Shandong in the future, but from the reality in front of him, he knew that if the emperor wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, he would inevitably rely on the force of the people of Guanzhong and even Liangzhou. Concubine Fu would compete for the position of queen now.

Bao Chu, who was accompanying the side, suddenly said, "Lingjun, there is someone in front of him, it seems that it is Jiang Gan."

Xun Yu frowned slightly and glanced at Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang shook her head and said she was unaware of it. Xun Yu was a little surprised. Did Jiang Gan happen to be waiting for him here by chance? In the past few months after the emperor passed away, Jiang Gan was surprisingly quiet and did not run around. Even Xun Yu didn't come here. It was a bit abrupt when he appeared here today.

Xun Yu winked at Bao Shi's mission. Bao Shi knew it and asked the coachman to slow down. He kicked the horse and rushed to the front. Jiang Gan's carriage was parked on the side of the road, the door was closed and the window was also closed. Bao Shi rushed to the front, turned over and dismounted, bowed and bowed. Jiang Gan opened the window, looked at Bao Shi, and then looked at the slowly stopped carriage, and smiled.

"Is Lingjun the same person?"

"In the same car as Mrs.

Jiang Gan nodded and turned to signal. Dong Qing, who was traveling with him, got out of the car, carried a bamboo basket, and walked towards Xun Yu's carriage. Bao Chu did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it. He sank his hand, and then he realized that the bamboo basket was not light. He couldn't help but look at Dong Qing in surprise. When he came to Xun Yu's carriage, Xun Yu opened the car door, and Dong Qing stood in front of the car door and bowed to salute.

"After the entrusted by the eldest princess, I brought some gifts to Lingjun and his wife."

Bao Chu carried a bamboo basket in one hand and lifted the lid with the other hand. There was a basket of oranges in it. It was big and round, brightly colored. Each one was a good result, three points better than the rewards from the palace. Xun Yu was surprised. The eldest princess often wrote back letters. The New Year's gift had been delivered long ago. The Dragon Boat Festival had not arrived yet. What gift was given? Needless to say, it was Jiang Gan who found a reason to meet him.

Before he could speak, Mrs. Tang said, "Since it was given by the eldest princess, I would be disrespectful. Husband, Mrs. Jiang hasn't been here for a long time. When I see you today, I should talk to each other. You might as well go to his car to sit. I happened to chat with Mrs. Dong for a few gossips."

Xun Yu nodded, got up and got out of the car. Mrs. Tang pulled Dong Qing into the car, and the two sat opposite each other and started talking gossip.

Xun Yu came to Jiang Gan's car, and Jiang Gan had already opened the car door and looked at Xun Yu with a smile. Xun Yu shook his head, got in the car, and sat down opposite Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan knocked on the wall of the car and asked, "Where is Ling Jun going?"

"Bowangyuan."

The coachman could hear it clearly, gently lifted the horse whip and left Bowangyuan. Jiang Gan looked at Xun Yu and smiled mysteriously. "I heard that Prince Li is good at "Guliang Chunqiu" and is a fan of Xun's studies. Is this a plan to pay attention to Prince Li's former residence and make a clear eye for Xun's studies?"

Xun Yu shook his head. "Chang'an City has become more and more crowded recently. I think it's too noisy and want to find a quieter place. Although Bowangyuan is abandoned, there are still some houses that may be useful for repairing."

"So Ling Jun is moving around." Jiang Gan nodded. "If Ling Jun is not afraid of gossip, I can give you some glass."

"Thank you, but I can't use it. There is a glass workshop in Chang'an now."

Jiang Gan laughed. "A gentleman's virtue is a villain's virtue is a villain's virtue, so I will be ready to set an example and lead the Chang'an atmosphere. I will not talk much, so as not to ruin Lingjun's reputation." He paused and said, "I have a gift here, I don't know if Lingjun is interested."

"Whose gift?"

"Wuhou."

"Shu Yu dare not bear it lightly."

Jiang Gan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "It's okay, let me take a look first. If you think it's inappropriate, it's fine if you don't accept it."

Xun Yu looked at Jiang Gan for a moment, and his head was slightly raised. Jiang Gan opened the drawer beside him, pulled out a few pages of paper, and pushed it in front of Xun Yu. Xun Yu looked down and saw that it was a memorial, and it was Zhao Qi's memorial, so he couldn't help but wonder. How could Zhao Qi's memorial appear in Jiang Gan's hands? However, Zhao Qi had been there for several months and had no news. He was really anxious, and he didn't care too much at this moment, so he quickly started reading.

Zhao Qi's memorial was divided into two parts, and he wrote about his experiences along the way. From the east of Hangu Guan, the first stop was Luoyang in the old capital. Lusu, Xinpi and Xinpi were in good cooperation. They recruited refugees and farmed around Luoyang, and also repaired Luoyang City to a certain extent, especially the imperial tombs. Although Luoyang City was still very destructive and weeds grew in many places, it was generally stable. From Luoyang to Yingchuan, and then to Runan, we met with the prefect of Runan Zhang Zhao. After the official ferry last year, Yingchuan and Runan were stable, and production gradually recovered, especially Runan. After the painstaking management of Cang Ci and others, the military farming results were initially achieved, and the people lived and worked in peace.

Seeing these, Xun Yu was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was naturally happy when his hometown was quiet, but Yingchuan was in Sun Ce's hands and was on the front line. This quietness was actually very fragile. Once the emperor came out of the east, Yingchuan would inevitably become a battlefield again, and he would become one of the promoters of this disaster.

As soon as he thought about this, Xun Yu felt sore, as if thousands of ants were gnawing.

He suppressed his guilt and continued to look down. Zhao Qi followed Zhang Zhao to Moling and discussed the way to govern the country with Sun Ce. Sun Ce printed his "Mencius Chapters and Sentences" and praised Mencius' benevolent politics, but there were different opinions on some details. Later, he arrived in Wuxian and witnessed the development of Jiangdong all the way. Finally, he met Yang Biao and Huang Wan, worried about the current situation. In the end, several people discussed a countermeasure, which was the theme of the memorial.

Summon Sun Ce into the court to rule and avoid war.

Zhao Qi did not clearly say whether it was abdication or usurpation in the end, but Xun Yu understood his meaning and controlled the chaos in the court and tried not to affect ordinary people as much as possible. The harm of the war is obvious to all. Only ten years since the Yellow Turbans, Luoyang was abolished, Yanzhou was remnant, Qingzhou and Xuzhou also suffered heavy losses. Although some have been restored at present, if the war continues, the entire Central Plains may become ruins.

Xun Yu put his hands in his sleeves, pondered for a long time, raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Gan. "Would Marquis Wu enter the court?"

"If the conditions are right, you are willing." Jiang Gan smiled. "Wu Hou is not a warlike person, he practices benevolent politics. I believe that I will not deny this, right?"

Xun Yu avoided answering and asked, "What kind of conditions are appropriate?"

"So, did Lingjun accept it?"

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I have no right to decide, I can only say I don't object."

Jiang Gan put away the memorial. "Lingjun is the emperor's think tank and the leader of the scholars in the world. Lingjun does not object, which shows that Mr. Zhao's suggestion is still in line with the public's opinion, and the emperor will definitely accept it. In this way, peace is expected."

Xun Yu frowned. "You just want to ask me for my opinion?"

"That's all. Mr. Zhao's memorial was delivered in a post office that was urgently 600 miles long, which has shown the attitude of Wu Hou. Whether the negotiation can be concluded is in the court." Jiang Gan smiled slightly. "In a few days, this memorial will be spread throughout Guanzhong. Lord, Wu Hou's sincerity can be seen."

Xun Yu's face changed drastically. "Is Mr. Wu going to force the court?"

"Let the king, the people are the most important, the country is the second, the king is the least. If it is beneficial to the people, the country is the most beneficial, what's wrong with forcing the court? Do you want to be accomplices when you look at the court doing evil?" Jiang Gan laughed. "Let the king is a party member. When did he become a foolish and loyal person? Under the 9th fountain, Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo's coffin board can't be suppressed."

"You..." Xun Yu was speechless. He stared at Jiang Gan for a long time, and his heart was gradually filled with coldness. Sun Ce was willing to enter the court, not for the sake of the people in the world, but to avoid falling into an unfavorable situation and fighting for the people's hearts. If the war was held, Sun Ce had no moral advantage and no geographical advantage, so he took retreat as a step forward, replaced the war with the struggle of the court, and eliminated the geographical advantage of Guanzhong. But this move was not easy to break. If the emperor accepted Zhao Qi's suggestion and summoned Sun Ce to the court to take charge of the government, and the power would be lost, it would be difficult to take it back in the future. If the emperor refused, the responsibility for the provocation of the war would be borne by the court, and the people's hearts were very unfavorable.

"Jiang Ziyi, I do not oppose the entry of the Wu Hou into the court, but I will not agree to all his requests. The court has its own laws. If he cannot abide by the court's laws, the so-called sincerity is just a self-deception. Right and wrong, people in the world will make their own judgments, and even the Wu Hou cannot cover the sky with one hand."

Jiang Gan looked disdainful. "How can you represent the hearts of the world alone? Lingjun, I'm sorry, you can't even represent your Xun family, let alone the people in the world. As for the emperor, the only people he can represent now is probably the Liangzhou people?" He paused and said, "When Xun Qing used a generation of Confucian religion to produce Li Si and Han Fei, two legalists, to laugh at the world. Now you are the imperial teacher, you won't repeat the same mistakes, right? I think the emperor's actions are becoming more and more like Zhao Zheng. It's a coincidence that he also has the blood of Zhao State, and this history is really similar."

"Jiang Ziyi, you..." Xun Yu was furious.

"Let me, be careful not to be impatient." Jiang Gan reached out and pressed his hand on Xun Yu's shoulder, and patted him earnestly. "To the left or the right, to the Confucianism or the law, I hope that you can do it yourself."
