Xun Yu is very contradictory.

He did not agree with Liu Ba's suggestion. It was too wishful thinking to place victory on Sun Ce's civil strife and to put benevolent government on the emperor's reform.

Sun Ce may have shortcomings in details, but his ability to control the overall situation is amazing. Will such a person sit still and be indifferent? He emphasizes the supervisory function of the governor and the stripping of the military power of the prefect are enough to show that he understands the importance of balance. The new dynasty can create a group of military merits and powerful people. These people will not be confused, and the world will not be confused. Sun Ce set up a prime minister, plan to delegate civil rights and financial power, but only holding military power in his hands will not be released, which shows that he knows what can be released and what can not be released.

As for the latter, Bowangyuan in the south of Chang'an City can prove that this road is not open. Emperor Xiaowu also said that he had been in chaos for 30 years and peace for 30 years. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve this wish for his whole life. Instead, he destroyed the successor he trained with his own hands. Jiang Gan asked him to meet in Bowangyuan, and Sun Ce asked Yang Biao to sort out the evolution of the official system. These may have the intention to serve the current political situation, but it also shows that Sun Ce had some understanding of this and hoped that the emperor would restrain himself and improve himself. It was far less practical than hoping that Sun Ce would come.

But he could not say this to Liu Ba. Liu Ba's ideas were closer to the emperor and could not accept his suggestions. Besides, he could only tell the emperor that it was not advisable everywhere, so as not to make people feel that he and the emperor were disunited.

It's already very difficult for the emperor to do so, and he can no longer cause trouble for the emperor.

Xun Yu and Liu Ba discussed some things to deal with economic difficulties, then stood up and said goodbye. He sat at the Shangshu Deck for a while and sorted out his thoughts. Not long after he sat down, Wei Ji hurried in. Seeing Xun Yu being present, he was overjoyed and hurried forward to salute. He had just met the emperor, and the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss matters and sent someone to invite Xun Yu. It happened that Xun Yu was not here, so Wei Ji went on his behalf.

"Your Majesty said, as soon as you come back, please ask me to go there."

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

"Lingjun, tomorrow is a court meeting. The general and the chief minister will definitely attend the court meeting tomorrow."

Xun Yu slapped his forehead and woke up like a dream. He had been looking for Yang Xiu for the past two days, and even forgot about time. The emperor worked diligently, every five days, and never had any default. Tomorrow is the day of the regular court. Yang Xiu entered the court as a general and chief minister. Regardless of whether he could really take charge of the government affairs in the end, the court meeting would have to attend. The emperor asked him to meet Yang Xiu in advance in order to find out Yang Xiu's background and be prepared.

Xun Yu stood up and wanted to leave, but Wei Ji quickly stopped him. "Lingjun, have you brought that official history draft? If you don't bring it, I'll give it to you. By the way, there is also a copy of Yang Changshi's memorial. The main content of this discussion is these two items."

Xun Yu's eyes flashed slightly. "There is Lao Boru."

Wei Ji turned around and entered the room, took two manuscripts, and briefly explained the opinions of everyone just now. After hearing this, Xun Yu bowed to Wei Ji and turned to go out. Wei Ji watched Xun Yu leave, and let out a long breath and caressed his heart. Before he could put down his hand, the door darkened and Xun Yu walked in again. Seeing Wei Ji's appearance, he smiled.

"I'll get something." Hurry into the room and took out one from the glass cup given by Yang Xiu. Wei Ji was embarrassed and immediately praised when he saw the glass cup. "Good glass."

"Okay?" Xun Yu stopped and handed the glass cup to Wei Ji. Wei Ji took it in his hand, raised it, looked at the light carefully. "Lingjun, this glass cup is the best, with pure color and small bubbles, which is rare."

"How much do you think this glass cup is worth?"

Wei Ji thought about it. "It's hard to say. I've never seen such a good glass cup. I went back to my hometown to visit relatives a few years ago and saw similar ones in Anyi, but the quality is not as good as this. It's about 3,000 yuan per piece, and it's not easy to buy. It's said that you have to book it." He smiled. "Some people say that this is Jia Mu's hoarding of goods and deliberately raising prices. Maybe it's only a few hundred yuan in Yuzhou. If you want to say that Jia Mu is worthy of his surname Jia, his business is really smart. The price has been raised, and he can't buy it on the market. Then he gave one or two pieces during the New Year, which was not much, but he was extremely proud. All those who won it look like treasures."

"Why do you say that?" Xun Yu was surprised.

Wei Ji was also surprised. "Lingjun, don't you know? Glazing is not a rare thing in Yuzhou. I heard that all the colleges in Yuzhou use glazed glass as windows, and there is no need to light a lamp during the day. Although the county schools are a place to gather talents, they can be used as windows. How expensive can this glazed glass be? The quality of this glazed cup is better, but compared with ordinary glazed glass, there is no difference in essence. It is likely that the production process has been improved again, solving a certain difficulty, and there is no change in cost. Scarcity is precious. Anyi is too far from the Central Plains and has many bans. Except for merchants, many people do not know the situation in the Central Plains at all, so they regard it as a treasure."

"Do you think this glass cup is no different from the window glass?"

"I don't think the difference is big. I dare say that in a few months, glass cups with better quality and different styles will appear. King Wu is curious about skills and attaches importance to craftsmen. New products are emerging one after another, but they are actually missing the foundation and pursuing the end..."

Xun Yu slowly shook his head. Seeing this, Wei Kai bowed and bowed to him. "Please ask me to correct me."

Xun Yu took the glass cup and said earnestly: "Boru, what is the difference between Nanyang Ordnance and Guanzhong Ordnance?"

"Uh..." Wei Ji looked embarrassed. After Xun Yu said that, he turned around and hurried away with a glass cup. Wei Ji frowned slightly, and looked at Xun Yu's back and pondered. He felt that Xun Yu today was a little different from usual.

Xun Yu came to the greenhouse hall, and the emperor was walking in front of the hall. Seeing Xun Yu walking quickly, he stopped, looked for a moment, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Have you seen Yang Xiu?"

"I've seen it. I should have come to repay His Majesty immediately, but some things are tight. I went to Situ's Mansion and handed over to Liu Ba."

The emperor saw the glass cup in Xun Yu's hand. "It has something to do with this?"

"Yes, this is a gift from Yang Xiu."

Xun Yu handed over the glass cup and immediately told Yang Xiu and Liu Ba what he had seen, but he did not even miss the differences between him and Liu Ba, especially "Huanglong meets Qiao". Although he did not explicitly say that "Huanglong meets Qiao" was related to Cao Cao, the meaning of the reminder was very obvious.

The emperor played with the glass cup and listened quietly without saying a word. Xun Yu was surprised that the emperor's reaction to "Huanglong meets Qiao" was too calm. He seemed to have known about this for a long time, but he had never heard the emperor mention it. Xun Yu opened his mouth and felt his throat a little dry.

The emperor glanced at Xun Yu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Three years ago, I read the "Five Elements Records" in the palace. I know that there are not only Huanglong's stories, but also Huanglong's stories, but also phoenixes, and countless records."

Xun Yu was shocked. "That Majesty..."

"About destiny, I agree with Liu Ba's opinion."

Xun Yu didn't say anything more. Since the emperor had made a decision, he didn't have to force his advice. The emperor was unwilling to enter Shu and married the eldest princess to Sun Ce, which showed that he was unwilling to obey the arrangements of destiny, and was more willing to believe his own judgment and regard Sun Ce as his main opponent. The emperor waited for a moment and said slowly: "Lingjun, is there a place suitable for a new residence in Bowangyuan?"

Xun Yu was not surprised. He knew that his whereabouts would definitely reach the emperor's ears, and his opinions just now were easily linked to Bowangyuan. "Bowangyuan is already deserted and repairing is quite difficult."

"Cultivate it." The emperor handed the glass cup back to Xun Yu. "It is best not to repeat the royal tragedy of father and son's tragedy. Rebuild Bowangyuan to learn from it. It is worth spending some money. When the children of noble people grow up, I will place him in Bowangyuan. At that time, please ask the lord to teach him the foundation of governance. Whether he inherits the throne, becomes the king in the future, or... to be an ordinary person, I hope he can be a good person without losing his benevolence and righteousness."

"What about... what about your Majesty?"

The emperor raised his lips slightly, and his smile was bitter. "Tell the king, there must be sacrifices when he goes against the will of heaven. If the Han Dynasty wants to revive, I will not sacrifice for it. Who will sacrifice for it? Mencius said: Heaven is the one who is responsible for this person. This person may be me, or the King of Wu. No matter who it is, this is our fate. He said that scholars should not only know, but also practice the way. So whether it is Shun avoiding Danzhu or Danzhu avoiding Shun, is Xunqing's etiquette and law, or Mencius' benevolence and righteousness, how can we know if we don't compete?"

Xun Yu looked at the emperor as if he knew the emperor on the first day. He really felt that although he had assisted the emperor for several years and had been with him day and night, he had never really understood the emperor.

"Lingjun, if you..."

"No, Your Majesty, there is no if." Xun Yu's blood surged upwards and said in a voice: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will naturally accompany Your Majesty for a long journey and go through fire and water, and I will never refuse."

He paused and quoted a famous saying from Mencius. "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."

The emperor was very excited, held Xun Yu's hand and shook it hard. Xun Yu felt that the emperor's hand was very big and powerful. He raised his head and suddenly found that the emperor was taller than him at some time, with a bit of a shadow of the late emperor's facial features, but his figure was not as weak as the late emperor, well-proportioned and strong, and heroic.

The emperor was originally full of energy, but Xun Yu looked at it for a while, but he became a little shy. He pulled out his hand and touched his face. "Ling Jun, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xun Yu also came to his senses, patted the emperor's strong arm, and smiled with relief: "Your Majesty has grown up, he is a real man, and he deserves to be the enemy of the King of Wu."

The emperor was so excited. "Please let me teach me."

Xun Yu nodded and thought for a moment. "Since you are fighting for the Tao, then you should act as something and not do anything. You must win uprightly and even if you lose, you must lose uprightly."

"Yes, yes, yes, I think so too." The emperor nodded repeatedly. His eyes rolled and he said, "Lingjun, the King of Wu may think so too."

"Is that true?"

"My sister has a letter from home, saying that the King of Wu once said that he helped me in the Western Expedition, hoping to fight with me."

Xun Yu was speechless. He looked at the emperor and sighed. "You... are really destined opponents."
