Kechi, Sun Ce sat on the railing and watched the fish in the water.

The Xi family was destroyed, the Xi family's property was taken over by Sun Fu, and the Xi family's fish pond became Ke Chi. When Sun Ce heard this name, he laughed meaningfully. Sun Fu was very embarrassed, but Cai Ke was very proud and showed it off to Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying expressed disdain, Feng Wan was very supportive, and envied Cai Ke very much. Cai Ke quickly brought this understanding beauty as a confidant and introduced her in detail the history and wonders of Ke Chi. Feng Wan listened very seriously and asked a few words from time to time, which greatly satisfied Cai Ke's vanity.

Listening to Cai Ke chattering, Sun Ce winked at Sun Fu. "Why hasn't it been a year? Do you want to go to Nanyang Bencaotang to ask a famous doctor to diagnose and prescribe a prescription?"

"No, no, no," Sun Fu said repeatedly, but his expression was a little insincere. It has been almost a year since he got married with Cai Ke, and Cai Ke's belly didn't even make any noise. How could he not be anxious? His father died early, both brothers were on the battlefield, and he fought for many years and got married later. Sun Ben got married two years ago, and his wife has not given birth to children. He got married last year and did not make any noise. This is not a good sign.

"Find some time to go to Nanyang to have a look, and let your sister-in-law go too." Sun Ce lowered his voice. "If she can't have children, you have a reason to take a concubine, right? You will definitely be reluctant to let her off and marry again."

Sun Fu was very embarrassed. "We have a very good relationship. Even if we don't have children, we must not divorce our wife."

Sun Ce laughed silently, but was not surprised. Judging from the name Ke Chi, we can know that Sun Fu is a wife who is in charge of Yan. However, Cai Ke got married once and had never given birth. In history, she had no children and had no children. She was probably infertile. This is not surprising. Whether it is male or female, infertility has always been a common disease, and the incidence rate in ancient times was higher.

"I know you have a good relationship and will not divorce your wife, but she will not let you take a concubine easily. Find a famous doctor to diagnose and make arrangements early."

Sun Fu nodded repeatedly. With Sun Ce's support, he was much more relaxed. Cai Ke was strong, but she was very convinced by Sun Ce. As long as it was Sun Ce's suggestion, she would basically obey it.

The two chatted for a long time. As a general guarding Xiangyang, Sun Fu lived a comfortable life. Especially after Zhou Yu took over Nanjun, Xiangyang, in addition to taking on the transit mission, there may be danger from Hanzhong in the west. Most of the time he was very leisurely. However, Sun Ce said that Hanzhong will become a target sooner or later, and Sun Fu's burden will be high. Once Zhou Yu pacifies Jiangnan and is preparing to conquer Yizhou, Sun Fu will have to take on the task of attacking Hanzhong. Before this, he would be better prepared, especially in the geography, so as not to be in a hurry.

Sun Fu agreed one by one.

"I would like to recommend a deputy general to you. He has been by my side for more than half a year. He is cautious and alert, and has good martial arts skills."

Sun Fu agreed immediately. "I was about to mention this matter. The students in the Nanyang Martial Arts Hall were good at fighting, but not many of them had excellent military management skills. Those who could stand alone were stolen by others, and I had no chance."

Sun Ce asked someone to invite Xu Huang over and introduce him to Sun Fu. There was no problem with Sun Fu's loyalty, but his ability to command troops was limited, so the important town of Xiangyang could not be completely handed over to him. Let Xu Huang assist him and take on actual tasks, which could not only share Sun Fu's responsibilities, but also give Xu Huang a chance to develop. Xu Huang suffered more than ten years under Cao Cao's command. Although he was ranked among the five-son generals, he did not shine until the battle of Xiangfan. Giving him a chance in advance, he should be able to play a greater role.

Sun Fu was very satisfied with Xu Huang. Xu Huang was surprised and could not believe his ears. He worked around Sun Ce and Guo Jia, and often listened to them discussing strategic issues. He knew Xiangyang's weight and never thought that he would become the garrison of Xiangyang. This was simply a step to reach the top.

"General, I..."

"Don't have any worries." Sun Ce smiled and said, "This is not my whim. It is the result of discussion between Zhang Changshi and Guo Jijiu. They all recognize you, and I also recognize you. I believe you know how important Xiangyang is, so I won't say much. My brother is loyal and can take care of you. You should also help him. I will arrange for someone to move your family to Wancheng, which is more convenient for you to visit relatives."

Xu Huang was very grateful and bowed down. "I wish to serve the general."

——

Xun Yu walked into the side hall, bowed to Tang Ji who was standing in the corridor to enjoy the flowers, and stood silently at the steps.

Tang Ji turned her head to look at him and smiled. "Look at you like this, have you been quarreled these two days, unable to sleep at night, and even your eyes are dark. You should pay attention to your health. Your Majesty can place all your hopes on you."

Xun Yu's mouth moved slightly, and his smile disappeared before it even bloomed. "How dare you? Your Majesty, Yang Situ, and Sun Sikong are all pillars of the court. Yu just happened to meet his meeting and just had a little effort."

Tang Ji sighed, went down the steps, and walked slowly forward. Xun Yu followed behind, and the two were separated by one step, without any contact, but they could hear each other's words and smell the fragrance on each other's body. Tang Ji suddenly sent someone to invite him to see him, and he knew that he must have encountered trouble, so the emperor was not able to speak directly, and he wanted to convey it through Tang Ji.

"Your Majesty heard that the tribute from Nanyang has already been in full swing, and Sun Ce has already set off to Kuaiji to take office. He is very satisfied with your plan. Now Chang'an is about to be settled, and the people are looking forward to peace. Your Majesty wants to change the era to show a new atmosphere, but he is undecided. He is worried that the ministers will oppose it and wants to hear your opinions."

Xun Yu was silent for a while and shook his head. "Your Majesty is wise and has a very high intention, but the situation has not yet been completely settled, and the change of the regimen is somewhat hasty. Although Nanyang is generally stable, it is still quite far from its original goal. Yang Hong was driven out of Nanyang, Yang Xiu was forced to go to Kuaiji by Sun Ce to take office. Sun Ce also intends to hold a martial arts competition to compete with the court for talents. The people in the world have not seen clearly yet. At this time, the change of the regimen will make people feel that the court is too careless and not calm enough."

Tang Ji pondered for a moment and agreed with Xun Yu's opinion. "Yes, the emperor is young, which makes people feel suspicious. If you act rashly, wouldn't it be confirmed? Xun Lingjun, although you are young, you are more steady than those old ministers. It is because the emperor appreciates you that he wants to consult you. Be mentally prepared, there will inevitably be disputes at the court meeting."

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment. "Is it Ding Chong who suggested to His Majesty?"

Tang Ji stopped, turned around, looked at Xun Yu with a pair of wonderful eyes, and smiled at the corners of her eyes. "Can you guess it, can you really know how to observe the mind?"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Neople, this is not a way to observe the mind, it is just a reason for human feelings. Sun Ce has been advancing carefully in Yuzhou to avoid causing excessive reactions. He also took special care of Ding's family. Not only did he return Ding's family's population and property, but he also wrote a letter to Ding Chong to explain. How could Ding Chong not repay his kindness? Changing the era was to revitalize people's hearts, and indirectly he also invited credit for Sun Ce, allowing the court to accept the status quo and recognize Sun Ce's actions."

Tang Ji suddenly realized. "No wonder he is so active. It turns out that it is for him."
