Above the tall building, Sun Ce sat leaning against the desk, his eyes looking at the mountains in the distance through the delicate window. On the desk, a simple incense burner exudes a faint fragrance. A cup of tea, the mist is swaying, and the green tea leaves are rising and falling in the water.

The surroundings are quiet, and the shouts of the soldiers in the city practiced, there is a fascinating tranquility.

The floor of the military advisor downstairs was covered with carpets. Although the soldiers were busy, there was no sound. Everyone was doing their own things. Everything was in order. From time to time, someone walked to the stairs and handed the documents to Yang Yi on duty, waiting for Sun Ce to review. The year was approaching and the affairs were complicated, but not many things needed Sun Ce to make decisions immediately. They were accepted by Yang Yi and did not disturb Sun Ce, and even did not appear in front of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is considering big things.

With his fingers on the table, Yuan Quan's pretty face with pear blossoms came to his mind again, and Sun Ce sighed. Just as Zhong Yao suddenly came to surrender, Yuan Quan's disobedience was both unexpected and reasonable. People are selfish, and there are a few who can really be absolutely rational, and Yuan Quan is no exception. But Yuan Quan said bluntly that he was jealous in front of him, which surprised him a little. Is it a good or a bad thing? He couldn't explain it clearly.

But there is one thing he knows very well that the world is beginning to be different.

When he realized this, he was a little excited, but after the excitement, he was indescribable. He didn't know what the result would be, whether to create a beautiful new world, or go around in a circle, and return to the original track? Should he cross the river by feeling the stones, or suffer a catastrophe?

History is not a game, he is not a player, and others are not a computer character that performs according to the settings. In terms of survival wisdom alone, there are many people who can beat him. If it weren't for Yuan Quan's reminder, he wouldn't even realize that the timing of Zhong Yao coming from Guanzhong was too coincidental, and there might be something hidden behind it.

This involves a question: What role does Guo Jia play in this?

"Salute wine, sacrifice wine." With the respectful greetings of the soldiers, Guo Jia went upstairs, "Du...Du..." The stairs sounded softly, one after another, getting closer and closer, and finally stood outside the door.

Sun Ce did not turn around, but just pointed to the bed opposite. He knew Guo Jia would come, but he was not sure what Guo Jia would say.

Guo Jia walked to the opposite side, placed the feather fan on the table, lifted up his clothes and put them in his seat, and tidied them up. Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia quietly. Guo Jia was different today, not only with his eyes a little dark, his steps a little fluent, and his expression was even more solemn. If he had guessed well, he would definitely not have slept well last night.

So he didn't know that Zhong Yao would come? Sun Ce suddenly felt a little relaxed when Mrs. Zhong sent someone to report yesterday.

"Did you talk too late with Zhong Yuanchang?" Sun Ce hooked his fingers and asked someone to prepare a pot of ginseng tea for Guo Jia.

"It was a very late talk. But..." Guo Jia gently stroked his back and sighed. "The most difficult thing to get the kindness of a beauty is to be loved by him five times a night, beyond my limit."

Sun Ce stared at Guo Jia for a while, but finally couldn't help laughing. Guo Jia was still the same Guo Jia, and no matter how serious he was, he was not much. Of course, his words were not only a joke, but had a deep meaning behind it. Zhong Yao's sudden appearance had nothing to do with him, but it had something to do with Mrs. Zhong.

"What did you say?"

"He has two concerns: one is whether the king's way can defeat the domineering? The other is that the king does not believe in destiny, so what is he going to use to curb people's hearts?"

Sun Ce secretly sighed. As expected, Jiang is old and saw the key point at a glance. Can the kingly way overcome dominance? In theory, it may be possible, but in reality, not necessarily, at least there are no successful examples. Even in the 21st century when technology is booming, there are no real kingly way. There are many people who are engaged in robbery under the banner of democracy. As for the moment, the kingly way is also difficult. In terms of efficiency alone, the kingly way is far inferior to the dominance.

Theory is even more a big problem. If he wants to guide scholars to seek change in a pragmatic way, he must break the theory of imperial power and heavenly granting since Dong Zhongshu. However, it is easy to break an old theory, but it is difficult to establish a new theory. Could it be that the people's democratic dictatorship is implemented and the electoral system is implemented? Not to mention that he is unwilling, even if he is willing, it is not realistic. With the current technical conditions and average qualities, who knows what results will be selected?

Well, I just don't want to. I just want to live up to the emperor, hold the power of the world, and lie drunk on the beautiful knees.

"how do you say?"

"Look at it one step." Guo Jia was calm. "Not whether the kingly way can defeat the dominance is not determined. Even if the kingly way really cannot defeat the dominance, we can still follow the power in a hurry and abandon the kingly way and use the dominance. On the contrary, dominance can only be emergency, but not long-term peace, but has been proved. As for the destiny, there is no need to be so anxious. Isn't Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man the same thing that happened seventy years after the rise of the Han Dynasty? Why bother to be anxious? Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn Annals" and made the Han Dynasty's laws later. No one mentioned it when Emperor Gaozu conquered the world."

Sun Ce smiled knowingly. Guo Jia was not a Confucian scholar after all, and was closer to a disciple of the Legalist family. He was very pragmatic. He first solved the current problems and then considered long-term things. Zhong Yao also had a background in the Legalist family and was also a pragmatic person. He should be able to accept Guo Jia's explanation.

"What did he say?"

"He wants to think about it."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he shrugged and showed an expression you know. Sun Ce smiled knowingly. Even if he reached an agreement, he was just about to go through a procedure. Since Zhong Yao had arrived here, even if he had thousands of questions, he could only turn forward. He immediately asked another thing. Yesterday Yuan Quan mentioned that she asked the minister Zhu Jianping to face Yuan Heng. Zhu Jianping glanced at him from afar and said that he would have a small misfortune next year, which made him feel uneasy and didn't sleep well overnight.

Next year is the fifth year of Jian'an. He is twenty-six years old. He is the age of assassination in history. It is not that the Time and Space Administration wants to fix the bug, right? If this is just a coincidence, then Zhu Jianping may have a person standing behind him and deliberately provoking trouble, which is not just a simple matter. He must pull this person out, otherwise the thorn will pierce the hearts of the Yuan sisters, which will make him feel uncomfortable.

Guo Jia had heard of the name Zhu Jianping, and his expression was a little serious. "I sent someone to find Zhu Jianping and ask in detail. Although this man was a prime minister, he had some real skills. Zhong Yao and Xun You asked him to meet him. He said that although Xun You were a few years younger, he wanted to entrust his funeral to Zhong Yao. We didn't believe it at that time. As a result, not long after, Xun You was imprisoned for the assassination of Dong Zhuo and almost lost his life."

Only then did Sun Ce remember that Zhong Yao and Xun You had a very good relationship, and he couldn't help but become more vigilant. He never dared to take Xun You lightly.

"King, after the New Year, let's go back to Jianye."

Sun Ce was surprised. "Is it necessary?"

Guo Jia didn't see any smile on his face. "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything. In terms of the current situation, even if the entire Central Plains is lost, as long as the king is safe and Jiangnan is in hand, we will have a chance to make a comeback. But if the king is a little surprised, it's hard to say."

Sun Ce laughed silently, but when he saw Guo Jia speaking seriously, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and put away his smile. "You find Zhu Jianping first. If he really said that, after the New Year, we will go back to Jianye."

"Here." Guo Jia stood up. "I'll go make arrangements now."

Sun Ce was a little surprised when he watched Guo Jia go out hurriedly. It was the first time he and Guo Jia knew each other for so long that they saw Guo Jia so nervous. They were in danger of the world, and it was indeed not fun at all. Because a monk said something, he was so nervous. Can he still have fun in the future? If the Time and Space Administration fixes the bug, how could he avoid it?

Sun Ce went out of the door, held the railing, and looked up at the sky.

There are no meteorites, and no swords falling from the sky.

Zhu Jianping is famous and not difficult to find. Guo Jia's actions are also very efficient. Two days later, Zhu Jianping appeared in front of Sun Ce.

Zhu Jianping is about forty years old, of medium figure, wearing a Confucian shirt, with an ordinary appearance, and only a pair of brighter eyes. He stared at Sun Ce for a long time, and a bit of suspicion appeared on his face.

"I can't see clearly."

"What does it mean if you can't see clearly?" Guo Jia was very dissatisfied and his voice became louder. Sun Ce waved his hand and told him not to hurry. "Have you told Mrs. Yuan that I will have a small disaster next year?"

"I said it." Zhu Jianping admitted calmly. "I was far away at that time and I didn't dare to make a decision, but I just said it was possible. I thought I could see it clearly from a distance, but I didn't expect that I could see it clearly, and it became even more blurry."

Zhu Jianping stroked the sparse short beard under his jaw, stared at Sun Ce and looked left and right, with a puzzled look. After a while, he suddenly realized something. "Does the king practice Taoism?"

"Is it counting to practice martial arts and boxing? In addition, I have also learned a set of five animal plays from Hua Tuo, but I haven't practiced much, so I still practice boxing."

"Yiquan?" Seeing that Sun Ce was puzzled, Zhu Jianping quickly explained it again. People said that Sun Ce had created a new set of boxing techniques, which were derived from the principles and chemistry of Yi. Some called it Tai Chi, some called it Yiquan, and some called it Daoquan and Shenquan, with different names.

Sun Ce nodded and admitted that he practiced boxing every day and had a small success. This set of boxing was adapted by Deng Zhan, Yu Fan, and confirmed it with Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others for many years, and it has been relatively complete.

Zhu Jianping bowed and bowed. "Yi combines Yin and Yang, and the yin and Yang are unpredictable, it is called God. It is indeed not something I can see clearly. The king is healthy and has enough spirit. It should not be because of illness. The king is in the center, away from the battlefield, and has warriors around him, so it is unlikely that it is because of injury. To be bold, if there is indeed a disaster, it should be a heavenly disaster. The heavenly secrets are not what I have seen through. Please forgive me."

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Sun Ce laughed, but he was a little reluctant. He became more and more amazing as he talked about it, and even he had to pull out the heavenly tribulation.

Guo Jia said: "Is there a way to understand it?"

Zhu Jianping stared at Sun Ce and looked again and again, pondering for a while. "Since it is a heavenly disaster, only fasting can be solved. Even if I read it wrong, it is always good for the king to stay in seclusion and rest. I am not very good at practicing Taoism. The king may not be careful to ask the living god Yu Ji to take a look."

Zhu Jianping stood up and said goodbye. Sun Ce called him again. "The queen really has many sons?"

"I can guarantee this. Even if I am wrong, I am not good at physiognomy."

Sun Ce seemed to be smiling, but his eyes showed a bit of sharpness. "So, even if I have a little ejaculation next year, I will not be in danger of my life. Otherwise, how could she have three women and one woman?"

Zhu Jianping leaned over and bowed down. "I dare not speak nonsense in front of the king. I can only judge from the face that she should have three sons and one daughter, and her daughter is the most noble. I can also judge whether the king will have a small disaster next year and will endanger his life, but I dare not say it. As for whether it is reasonable, it is hard to say. The law of appearance never asks whether it is reasonable or not, but only asks whether it is valid or not."
