Jia Xu's words may seem euphemistic, but they actually hit the point.
Your Majesty, give up on this idea.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Liu Xie casually picked up the volume of "Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu" and read two lines, which happened to be the paragraph "Sages govern with an open mind and a solid belly". Liu Xie couldn't help but take a second look.
Notes written in small letters below.
The heart is the rules, and there are good and bad things in it. The abdomen is the Tao bag, and the Qi always wants to be solid. If the heart is evil, the Tao will go out and the bag will be empty. If it is empty, evil will enter, and it will harm people. If the evil in the heart is empty, the Tao will come and return.
The belly is solid.
"What do you think of this book, sir?"
"There are many ways in which the fairy tales are far-fetched, and occasionally there are some merits."
"Is it a way or a technique?"
"The Tao is mostly minor, and the magic is mostly witchcraft." Jia Xu said calmly: "If you can cure diseases and save people by reciting five thousand words diligently, where can you find a book of herbs and a spiritual axis? To put it in detail, this book is
You have made great use of Su Wen, but you have fallen behind. If your Majesty reads it, you should be warned and don't trust it easily."
"Then according to Sir's words, how should the world be governed?"
Jia Xu said without thinking, word for word: "Of course it is the right way of Confucianism."
For a moment, Liu Xie had the illusion that he was not facing the genius Jia Xu, but the veteran Yang Biao.
"I understand." Liu Xie laughed. "Sir, you want to be like Zhang Liang, but you are not willing to be like Chen Ping."
Jia Xu's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and stared at the water glass in his hand.
The water in the cup ripples.
Liu Xie got up and walked out of the tent. Jia Xu got up to see him off and walked to the entrance of the tent. Liu Xie stopped again and turned to look at Jia Xu.
"I think that although Chen Ping could not become Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang could not become Chen Ping. Chen Ping could not become Zhang Liang because of the prejudice of the world. Zhang Liang could not become Chen Ping, but it was due to the limitations of his talent."
"His Majesty?"
Liu Xie shook his finger. "Zhang Liang once assisted Han Wangcheng and was determined to restore the country, but he failed. If he really knew the way, why would he bother to do this? Sir, you are in trouble."
After speaking, Liu Xie waved his hand and walked towards the imperial tent.
Jia Xu cupped his hands, looked at Liu Xie's hurried back, savored what Liu Xie had just said, and suddenly sighed softly.
"Yan Jun, you are wrong. The great man's destiny is not over yet."
——
Liu Xie signaled to the guards and maids guarding the tent to be quiet, opened the tent door, and quietly entered the imperial tent.
Fu Shou was already asleep, hugging the quilt with a bamboo slip beside his pillow.
Liu Xie turned on the light and took a look at it. It turned out to be a volume of the Taiping Jing. He couldn't help but take a second look at Fu Shou.
With Fu Shou's family background, it is not easy to put down his identity and read a book like "The Taiping Jing".
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Fu Shou opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw it was Liu Xie, he quickly stood up and saluted.
The clothes are open, revealing round shoulders, as white as jade.
Liu Xie couldn't help but take another look.
Fu Shou soon realized that his clothes were disheveled and quickly pulled them up. When she raised her head and saw Liu Xie's eyes, she regretted it again but was too embarrassed to unbutton her clothes again.
"Your Majesty... when will you return to your account? I, my concubine... ordered people to prepare a wash..."
"You don't have to bother, I have to leave later." Liu Xie held her down and stuffed her back into the quilt. The weather in early winter was very cold, and Fu Shou's hands became cold after a while. "I have something to do.
Please ask Mr. Jia to come and see the Queen."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine." Fu Shou pulled up the quilt and said softly. She glanced at the "Taiping Jing" in Liu Xie's hand and said: "I have been teaching children in the camp to read these days, but they can't read it.
I am accustomed to the classics of saints, but it mentioned many words and sentences in the "Taiping Jing", so I borrowed it to read it, but I didn't want to be tired for a while, so I fell asleep."
"You personally teach the children in the camp how to read?" Liu Xie glanced at Fu Shou again.
"Your Majesty led his father and brother to the war, and my concubine could not accompany your Majesty like Dong Guiren, so I had to teach a few children to read and do my best." Fu Shou's eyes lit up. "Although the children of the common people are illiterate, they can see
He is well-informed, has a simple nature, and is very interesting.”
Liu Xie raised the corners of his mouth slightly and couldn't help laughing.
He estimated that these children from the Fu Shou sect should have been selected by Fu Wan. He hung out with Lieutenant General Dong Chengying every day. He knew what their qualities were and could roughly guess what their children would be like, even more so with his own eyes.
I have seen how those boys treated Dong Wan.
It may be true that he is well-informed, but he is simple by nature? Maybe not.
"It is also a good thing that the queen can get close to the people and understand more about the difficulties of people's livelihood."
"Well, I will definitely work hard to share your Majesty's worries."
Liu Xie tucked himself in and patted Fu Shou's cheek gently. "Pay attention to rest and don't be too tired. I'll listen to your story after we defeat Li Jue and Guo Si."
"Wei!" A flash of disappointment flashed in Fu Shou's eyes. "Your Majesty...don't you live in the tent?"
"The military situation is urgent, and I have to go back to prepare for the war."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I am incompetent and cannot help your Majesty." Fu Shou's eyes turned red.
"You have done a good job." Liu Xie wiped the tears from the corners of Fu Shou's eyes with a handkerchief, and then gently scratched her nose. "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen, others will think you cried because of hunger in the middle of the night."
Fu Shou couldn't help laughing, and hid his face in the quilt in embarrassment.
In response to the situation, a "gurgling" sound came from the quilt.
Liu Xie sighed distressedly. "Queen, I have wronged you. If you persist for a few more days, when I win this battle, I will definitely treat you to a big meal."
"I wish your Majesty a great victory." Fu Shou hid in the quilt and said dullly.
Liu Xie got up and left the tent.
Standing at the door of the tent, he looked around, his eyes swept across the small tent where Tang Ji lived, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Coincidentally, the tent door moved slightly and opened a crack.
Although he couldn't see anything, Liu Xie had a strange feeling that Tang Ji should be watching him outside the tent.
He hesitated for a moment and walked towards the small tent. Before he reached the tent, the tent door opened and Tang Ji walked out, bowed and saluted.
"I have met your Majesty."
"Sister-in-law, haven't you rested yet?" Liu Xie stopped and looked at Tang Ji.
Tang Ji was wrapped in an old cloak, and she couldn't see clearly what was inside. She could only see a piece of trousers that were swept from the lower edge of the old cloak. In the dim moonlight, she couldn't see clearly what kind of trousers they were, or her feet.
"I didn't sleep well. I heard footsteps. I guess His Majesty is back and I came here to see you."
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
"I heard in the evening that the Flying Bear Army has arrived in Huayin?"
"Yes."
"When I was trapped in Li Jue's army, I met Li Shi several times. Although he was young, he was very lustful. He was especially obsessed with Guandong women in their thirties and forties. He often went to pick among the captured Guandong women."
Liu Xie was stunned.
It’s understandable that Li Shi is obsessed with Guandong women. Who is he obsessed with Guandong women in their thirties and forties?
Seeing Liu Xie looking at her blankly, Tang Ji felt a little uncomfortable and coughed twice.
Liu Xie came to his senses, but was still puzzled.
