Democracy or concentration, or in other words, whether it is arbitrary or a group of people, is the issue that Sun Ce has considered the most recently.

Virtuous literature gathered in Ruyang, discussing politics, studying, Taoism, and politics are undoubtedly the most important content. The enthusiasm for political discussions by Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty who were suppressed by the Party was once again stimulated and became more enthusiastic. Even after the preliminary sorting and screening of Sun Quan, Wang Can and others, the books sent to Sun Ce's desk every day were piled up into small hills. There were even a lot of articles in the newspapers, and wonderful discussions were published one after another. The battle situation was so fierce that the war in Yizhou would be reluctant to give up the disadvantage.

Such enthusiasm is due to the retaliatory rebound, and the reason why people will not die when fighting a war is too low.

Anything, once the cost is very low, or even without it, will often lose control and eventually become inexplicable fanaticism.

The fanaticism of Confucian scholars writing articles is okay, but the warlike fanaticism of the military and civilians will bring serious consequences. If they are not allowed to personally feel the harm caused by this fanaticism, no one can stop them. Only when they hit the wall and feel the pain in their skin will they be awake.

Huang Zhong and others are living examples.

But the setback in front of him is far from enough. Even Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and others were not really calm. Otherwise, Huang Zhong's memorial would not be ambiguous and would not make any clear suggestions or requests.

This is both Huang Zhong’s unwillingness and military morale.

Of course, Sun Ce could veto it with one vote. After the imperial edict was made, Huang Zhong would naturally withdraw his troops. But as Yang Xiu said, the imperial edict could make Huang Zhong retreat, but it could not determine the hearts of the people. If the yang-hypertensive aura brought by this rapid development was not calm, there would be other problems in the future.

What's more, he himself opposes this kind of overtaking collective decision-making with his personal will, even if he is sure that he is right.

The lessons of history are too profound.

"What you said makes sense." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "I often hear people say that those who are good at boat racing should use the power of water, and the same is true for governing the country. Virtue, you have put a lot of effort into my five thousand words recently?"

"There is no question of kung fu, I just listened too much and thought about it, and I just had some insights. In fact, I don't admire me, but what I really admire is Yi. Hardness and softness are combined, and yin and yang are balanced. This is the real Tao. If you just use softness, you will inevitably suffer conspiracy."

Sun Ce laughed, reached out and patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder, but said nothing.

As the only crystallization of the two wealthy families of four generations and three dukes, Yang Xiu did not need to use any conspiracy. However, he was young after all, underestimated the sinisterness of people's hearts, so he was played around by Sima Yi in history. Now Sima Yi has taken the lead and returned to the underworld, and he can continue to shine. He will definitely suffer setbacks in his future life, but it is unlikely that he will meet an opponent like Sima Yi who has no bottom line.

This made him feel somewhat accomplished.

Sun Ce and Yang Xiu talked about "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", and especially "Zhuangzi".

"Zhuangzi" has a great influence in later generations, but it was not popular in the Qin and Han dynasties. There are not many people studying "Zhuangzi". The reason is very simple. Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty valued their merits and took the world as their own responsibility, and did not accept Zhuangzi's idea of ​​avoiding the world. Moreover, Zhuangzi's beauty can only exist in imagination. Once they face reality, they will inevitably be embarrassed. He can eat the wind and drink dew in the article, but in reality, he will inevitably borrow rice from others to cook.

Even Sun Ce in his previous life did not agree with "Zhuangzi".

However, combined with humanistic care and respect for the personal inner world, we must talk about Zhuangzi.

Yang Xiu was quite knowledgeable about "Zhuangzi", and it was unique and witty words were heard. Sun Ce was relish and still had not finished his thoughts, so he invited him to the table and share lunch.

Seeing Yang Xiu and Sun Ce sitting together, he was talking in an opportunistic manner. Queen Yuan Heng ordered people to prepare wine and food. Although there were no delicacies, they were very delicate. Several children playing around came around, leaning or sitting, listening to Yang Xiu's idle talk. Yang Xiu often entered the palace, familiar with them, and was good at speaking. Several children liked to listen to him and even liked to ask him for advice if he didn't understand anything about his knowledge.

After a while, a group of people gathered around Sun Ce. The older Sun Sheng and others sat upright, while the younger Dashuang, Xiaoshuang squeezed beside him. Xiaoshuang simply snuggled in Sun Ce's arms and hugged Sun Ce's arm, which made her feel stunning. It was not until Huang Yueying led Sun Ping and Huang An came over that she reluctantly gave the best position to her younger brother who was a few months younger than her.

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Shi Yang is really taking a break from his busy schedule today. What are you talking about? "Shan Hai Jing"?"

"No, it's Zhuangzi." Dashuang said in a silence.

Huang Yueying was a little surprised and reached out and pinched Dapeng's face. "Do you understand Zhuangzi?"

Da Shuang blushed and felt a little embarrassed. "I don't understand very much, I just think it's interesting and want to listen."

"If you want to listen, listen carefully. There are talented women like Cai Jijiu and Yang Changshi, and talented men will enlighten you. I am really sorry for your father if you don't become a doctor in the future." Huang Yueying said, looking at Sun Ce. "Your Majesty, I'm going to pay homage to the queen."

Sun Ce understood, Huang Yueying had something to do. He nodded, hugged Sun Ping with one hand and Huang An with the other, and continued to listen to Yang Xiu's "Zhuangzi". These two children were raised by Cai Jue most of the time and rarely entered the palace. They were somewhat accustomed to Sun Ce, but they were close to Dashuang and Xiaoshuangji. With them accompanying him, they soon became excited.

Huang Yueying saw it, and was happy in her heart. She turned around and walked towards Queen Yuan Heng.

After listening for a while, Sun Ping, Huang An was too young after all, and he was not as interested in learning as Dashuang. Xiaoshuang was a little impatient and twisted around Sun Ce's arms. Sun Ce got up, opened his arms, and let them hang like two little monkeys, and came to Yuan Heng and Huang Yueying.

The two little guys screamed in excitement. "Mother, mother, look, Ah Weng is so strong."

"Okay, okay, how much strength your Aweng is, my mother knows." Huang Yueying hugged the child and glanced at Sun Ce with a smile. "Don't spoil them, my Aweng can't help but make trouble for them."

"Haha, thank you for your hard work these days, let Pingping and An An stay in the palace for a few days, and my mother will have a good rest for a few days."

"That's fine, I'm just afraid of clamoring for the queen." Huang Yueying said with a smile: "There are many people coming to Jingxiang recently. They are welcomed and sent to see me off. My mother is too tired and wants to send her to the palace for a long time, but she is embarrassed to speak."

Yuan Heng gave Huang Yueying a blank look. "Sister Dajiang, Pingping. Although An An'an's surname is Sun and the other surname is Huang, they are all the bloodline of His Majesty. There will always be their place in this palace. Mrs. Cai loves them and is reluctant to let go. I can understand. But you say this, it is a crime to be punished. Let me take charge. From today on, these two children will stay in the palace and be sent to Dajiang's Mansion for one day in a month."

"Empress, I'm wrong." Huang Yueying hurriedly begged for mercy. "I'm wrong. Please forgive me. You don't know that these two children are now the flesh of my mother's heart. If I can't see these two children for a day, my mother will probably not even sleep well."

Yuan Heng held back his laughter and said deliberately: "It's fine for me to have a reputation. What if someone says that His Majesty is partial to you?"

"No, no, who dares to say that, I'll slap him in the mouth."

"This is what you said." Yuan Heng laughed out loud and pulled Sun Ping and Huang An over. "Tsk tsk, it's still Mrs. Cai who has experience. These two children are so well packed. What kind of sachet is this? It tastes so good, and it doesn't even have it in the palace."

"If the queen likes it, I will send you a few tomorrow."

"Thank you then." Yuan Heng stood up, held one with one hand, and said, "Pingping, An An, go and follow my mother to get the delicious food."

I heard that there was something delicious, and the two little guys drooled and jumped away with Yuan Heng. Huang Yueying curled her lips and felt a little depressed. "Your Majesty, are you very failed? These two kids are kissing anyone, but they don't kiss me."

"Let you spend more time with them." Sun Ce took Huang Yueying's hand and sat side by side. "Don't think they are young, but there is only time. The children grow up very quickly and will grow older in a blink of an eye. Then you want to accompany them, but they don't want you to accompany them."

"Yes, but there are so many things in Mu Xuetang, I really can't get away with it."

"There are so many things, just bring a few more people. Why do you have to do everything yourself?" Sun Ce stroked Huang Yueying's hand. "You have to make some time and give birth to a few more while you are young."

Huang Yueying glanced at Sun Ce with a sideways, and a red glow appeared on her face. She was a little shy, withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and thoughtful.

"If you have something to do, just say it. It is not your style to cover it up." Sun Ce chuckled softly. "Who is asking for an official in Jingxiang?"

"It's not like asking for an official position. The people of Jingxiang are still strong in the court, and their career is still smooth."

"That's asking for money?" Sun Ce laughed. "It seems even more unnecessary."

Huang Yueying also smiled. "That's not. Not only do they not ask the court for money, they also want to raise some funds to share the court's worries."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed slightly. Judging from Huang Yueying's meaning, the people of Jingxiang were determined to support Huang Zhong in making contributions, and even paid for it out of their own pocket. This is understandable that seven or eight out of ten soldiers under Huang Zhong were from Jingxiang and from Nanyang. Whether they could make contributions directly affected the overall strength of Jingxiang and Nanyang. In the past few years, Huang Zhong had no substantial progress. This time he finally entered Yizhou, so of course they were unwilling to give up easily.

But the army is a country's important weapon. Sun Ce can delegate power in other aspects, but military power cannot be interfered with. Nanyang and the Jingxiang family want to pay private money to support Huang Zhong's battle, and they must get his permission, otherwise it will be easy to backfire and get angry. Nanyang was once the imperial town, and there were too many families who were well versed in power rules. They were naturally clear about this point, so it was normal to send someone to test his attitude in advance.

Sun St. He thought about it and his heart was slightly moved. Since the people of Jingxiang were so rich, why not take this opportunity to make a comeback from them?

"The cost of large-scale combat is not a small amount," Sun Ce said quietly: "How much money can they raise? 20 billion, or 30 billion?"

Huang Yueying's face changed. "So much?"
