Chapter 399 Holding the hand of the child, standing together through thick and thin
Xun Wenqian looked at Liu Xie who was still ecstatic, feeling nervous.
What she cared about was not Liu Bei or Guan Yu, what she cared about was Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son.
Although the engagement was terminated and Chen Qun was ridiculed by Chen Qun, the friendship between Xun and Chen was still there, and Chen's love for him to support Xun Shuang was still there. Liu Bei praised Yuan Shao, Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son were there.
What kind of function can be roughly guessed.
Before he knew it, Xun and Chen walked to the opposite side, somewhat sad.
After a while, Liu Xie withdrew his thoughts and said, "Is there anything else?"
"There is news that Yuan Shu intends to pay tribute to His Majesty and wants to promote his daughter to be a noble lady."
Liu Xie was stunned again. Yuan Shu was not only willing to surrender, but also wanted to send a daughter to the palace. He knew that Yuan Shu had a daughter, but later entered Sun Quan's harem, but he had no children in his life.
But he never expected Yuan Shu to have such an idea.
It's strange that Yuan's family has been in business for so long, why didn't he think about sending his daughter to the palace and making Yuan a relative of the outside world? With Yuan's status, even if the daughter is ugly, she will be a steadfast queen.
How could he let a butcher like He Jin become a general?
Liu Xie asked Xun Wenqian for this question.
Xun Wenqian said softly: "I am stupid and know very little about Yuan, so I dare not answer."
Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan.
Xun Wenqian knew very little about Yuan, but Cai Yan should have some understanding. Chenliu Cai and Runan Yuan were considered good friends.
Cai Yan bowed and said, "I heard from my father that Yuan was born in Yu Shun and was suspected of being a fire virtue, which was accused of replacing the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Xiaohuan had a secret edict that the daughter of Yuan was not allowed to be used as the six palaces."
Liu Xie suddenly realized and laughed in silence.
It seems that Yuan Shu felt that he was young, uneducated, and had no ministers around him, so he might not know about this. He wanted to secretly cross Chen Cang and take advantage of the situation. Just as he regarded the prophecy of "The Han Dynasty, the road is high" as his destiny.
Alas, feudal superstition kills people.
"Did Ling Zun say how should I deal with Yuan Shu's move?"
Xun Wenqian shook her head. "My father said, this is just a rumor. Your Majesty can understand something, and you don't have to take it too seriously. In terms of the current situation, Your Majesty has his own queen. Even if Yuan Shuwo enters the palace, it may not be able to endanger the Han Dynasty. If so, it can be done.
It would be beneficial to the court to appease Yuan Shu, to join forces with Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and to reject Yuan Shao from the Central Plains."
Liu Xie said nothing more.
Since Xun Yu felt that there was no need to make a fuss, he didn't care even more. The Five Virtues were always said to be made up by people, so there is no need to take them seriously.
Xun Wenqian then talked about another thing, and Zang Hong wrote a letter to Xun Yu. Although he had any objections to the emperor's promotion of "Mencius", he was not worried. However, the emperor's disapproval of the sages in his words made Zang
Hong was very uneasy and wrote a letter to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu didn't know about this before, and hoped that Xun Wenqian could ask in person to find out what the emperor's attitude was and whether there was any misunderstanding in the middle.
After hearing this question, Liu Xie suddenly realized that Xun Wenqian was coming at this time, probably because it was not accidental.
She has been in Hedong for several months and has not set off. Now she has suddenly arrived day and night, which may be related to Zang Hong's letter.
The attitude towards sages is related to the essence of the kingly way and is closely related to Xun Yu's ideals.
In short, Xun Yu was nervous.
Liu Xie did not answer Xun Wenqian immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What is your attainment in the classics?"
"I am very knowledgeable about literature and ink, but not the classics."
"Then I'll tell you a story."
"Tell...stories?" Xun Wenqian was stunned and looked at Cai Yan with help.
Cai Yan didn't know what Liu Xie wanted to do, but she had been with Liu Xie for a long time and adapted to Liu Xie's jumping thinking. She was not surprised and signaled Xun Wenqian to be calm and just listened.
Liu Xie took a sip of water and moistened his throat. "A long time ago, there was a young man in Taihang Mountains. His family has lived in the mountains for generations. Every day, he opened his eyes and was surrounded by mountains. He really wanted to see what was outside the mountain.
, but I don’t know where there is a road, and how to go.”
Cai Yan understood what Liu Xie meant and couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth.
Xun Wenqian also understood a little, and this young man should be the emperor himself.
"There is an old man in the village who has lived for decades and knows the situation in the village. He exhausted his life, drew a map, and wrote every tree and grass in the village on it, leaving all the details." Liu Xiedun
He paused and said, "But he has never left the village."
Xun Wenqian's mouth curled up in a shallow curve.
"He was very happy to learn that the boy wanted to come out of the mountain. He brought his lifelong efforts to give it to the boy as a guide. Do you think the boy should accept his guidance?"
Xun Wenqian bowed and said, "Although the old man has never come out of the mountain, his experience is still of reference. After all, the road outside the mountain is also a road, and it is not much different from the road in the village. If it can be extended, it will be better.
It’s better to have nothing to do, it’s better to get from scratch.”
"You are right." Liu Xie gave a thumbs up and said, "The boy also thought so. He accepted the old man's map and embarked on a journey with some friends. Not long after walking, they got lost in the mountains.
Because they found that some roads in the old man’s map were inconsistent with the actual road, and it was probably something he hadn’t walked by himself.”
Xun Wenqian frowned. "How can I draw the road I haven't walked on the map?"
"Maybe it sounds like this, maybe it's a map left by my predecessors, maybe it's just that I think it should be like this."
"This is not..." Xun Wenqian blurted out, and after speaking halfway, she realized that Liu Xie was not simply telling stories, but a classic left by a metaphor of sages, so she quickly closed her mouth.
"The boy had a disagreement with his friends. Some said that the old man's map was right, they took the wrong path, and they should go back to the starting point and walk again. Some said that the old man's map was wrong, and they should abandon the map.
, go and explore it yourself.”
Liu Xie looked at Xun Wenqian. "If it were you, what would you choose?"
Xun Wenqian was silent for a long time. "I will bring the map with me and continue to explore."
"I think so too." Liu Xie ended his story and reached out to him. "Welcome, fellow travelers."
Xun Wenqian looked at Liu Xie blankly, at a loss.
Liu Xie grabbed her hand and shook it gently. "Hand with your son, we will be together through thick and thin."
Xun Wenqian understood what Liu Xie meant, shyly held Liu Xie's hand, and shook it gently.
Liu Xie's hands were very warm, although they were a little rough, but they were full of strength.
"I am lucky, but also Xun's blessing." Xun Wenqian whispered.
Liu Xie held not only her hand, but also Xun Yu's hand.
What they want to explore is not only the path of life, but also the path of exploring the kingly way and realizing the kingly way.
