"I hope those things don't happen..." Xie Xin said lightly.
In fact, in troubled times, everything is too complicated and unpredictable. No one can tell whether those things will happen suddenly.
For example, Sun Ce, who was clearly in his prime, died in anger like this. If not, might Jiangdong have been quickly integrated under his iron-blooded methods?
Gongsun Sheng and Liu Bian, they can be regarded as beings who defy the heavens even though they have survived to this day. Because of their protection, they have been safe and sound until now.
However, Xie Xin would never think so, nothing would happen to them.
"Actually, maybe it would be better if it happened... At least Master, you don't have to worry about who to support?" Mao Jie rarely said boldly.
"Headache? In fact, I have no idea at all. There are completely ways to allow the two parties to coexist. In fact, there are as many ways as needed. The so-called key is just to see if the two of them are willing to let go of something..." Xie Xin smiled.
Speaking of.
"Master, people's hearts are good, and kings love power..." Mao Jie shook his head.
"Perhaps, this is my biggest headache? I have a headache, why my cultivation level cannot be improved quickly..." Xie Xin said in a low voice.
"Master, what do you mean by that sentence?" Mao Jie was confused.
"Nothing... By the way, these are condolences. If you have extra energy, remember to find more books and read them. Remember the principle of 'learning is endless' and 'sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat'!"
"Xie Xin took out a can of spiritual tea and a bottle of spiritual elixir and placed them in front of him.
"Master, you don't have to be like this. In this world, only disciples are filial to their master. How can a master in turn be filial to his disciples?" Mao Jie said a little panicked.
"This is not filial piety. This is a gift from the elders. You should know the principle of 'don't dare to refuse a gift from an elder'?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"So... the disciple would be disrespectful..." Mao Jie put the things away with a little surprise and a little caution.
"That's right! Okay, you have a good job!" Xie Xin smiled and disappeared in an instant.
"Immortals... they are indeed very powerful beings!" Mao Jie couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Thinking about Xie Xin's words, I couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Why doesn't Master know the way to let the two coexist? But if it is really there, then it should be good?"
The most critical question is, why does Master support Liu Bian so much... Is that rumor true? Forget it, call Zhang Ming and Xie Xia here another day, and let's discuss it carefully. "
After figuring it out, Mao Jie took out the so-called condolences and looked at it.
The tea leaves in the tea can are very fragrant, and you can tell it is rare and good tea as soon as you smell it. For him who doesn't usually like to drink, this is indeed very precious.
And what was in the porcelain bottle was also familiar to Mao Jie, because it was the marrow-cleansing pill that he had taken.
"Now, the boy in the family is blessed..." Mao Jie said with a smile.
Last year, their family had a baby, and Mao Jie successfully became a father.
"Hey, brother, how long have you been here?" Gongsun Sheng was originally reading in Gongsun's study room. He was not surprised at all when Xie Xin suddenly visited.
"By the way, whenever you have free time, don't you come over for a cup of tea?" Xie Xin took out the teapot and teacup again. Of course, they are all new.
"If possible, I hope to stay with you every day." Gongsun Sheng closed the book and said.
"Hey, that's a bit ambiguous..." Xie Xin said with a bitter smile.
"Perhaps, but I feel most comfortable when I stay with you, brother... There is no so-called worldliness, no so-called intrigue or anything like that." Gongsun Sheng said after stretching.
"Being a prince, there are many things you need to pay attention to?" Xie Xin asked.
"My former subordinates have become more cautious recently. Even when they go out hunting or playing games, there are many situations where they deliberately let me go.
Fortunately, the newly joined Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, and of course the cute little nephew, are more to my liking. I hope they don’t become more worldly as time goes by." Gongsun Sheng picked up the teacup carelessly,
Then it started to "suck" without any image.
"Those three, except Zhao Yun, may be sensible, but the other two are not that material at all. On the contrary, don't just end up not liking them just because they are incompatible with other ministers." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Well, it's hard to say..." Gongsun Sheng hesitated, and finally put the teacup back on the counter.
Immediately, he turned his head and said to Xie Xin: "You should also know that my status is getting higher and higher. Even if I don't care about the movements of the ministers and the hearts of the ministers, there is no reason why I don't care...
As time goes by, maybe people will slowly change a little bit?"
"It would be best if that rotten thing could be completely changed in your generation, my generation, or the next generation." Xie Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I also hope... but given this general environment, how can we change it?" Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
"Methods are always figured out. Ministers have their own interests, so it is okay not to think of them. Just like the research institute under my name, the researchers have spent countless hours to reach conclusions that can be easily drawn.
After years of hard work, we have only made improvements." Xie Xin smiled and took out a paper for him.
"Three Provinces and Six Ministries System? Imperial Examination System?!" Gongsun Sheng said after flipping through the pages.
"Actually, it's just to make the so-called competition more national and professional." Xie Xin replied.
"Perhaps we can give it a try, at least to further break the status quo of the aristocratic family's monopoly on official career. In fact, according to my opinion, with so many Huaxia Dadi academies and normal schools now, it can almost break the shackles of the aristocratic family?" Gongsun Sheng asked expectantly.
"Yes, but as the number of readers increases, more people will think about it. I have written punctuation marks before, but you also know?
But to this day, the words of Confucius are still translated as "People can follow it, but they cannot know it"!
The world is in chaos now, and all the princes need a lot of talents, so there may be no problem. But when the princes take over the world..." Xie Xin did not continue.
"College, normal school... will then become a bit redundant and dangerous?" Gongsun Sheng helped answer this question.
"Businessmen set up academies to make profits; scholars set up academies to pass on knowledge; what about the country? Why do they set up academies?" Xie Xin asked.
"To consolidate their rule?" Gongsun Sheng sighed.
"Academies that cannot be controlled are very scary to the princes? In fact, I have also heard that that boy Bian'er has tried to attack Huaxia Academy several times." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"That kid...actually you do too. Since he is your son, why didn't you tell him?" Gongsun Sheng asked back.
"Is the big man's brand name very important now? At least, he is not in power because of this brand name." Xie Xin said nonchalantly.
"That's true..." Gongsun Sheng sighed.
"Speaking of which, it's rare for us to meet each other, so being depressed is not an option... How about playing a parlor game with you?" Xie Xin took out a small box.
"What is this?" Gongsun Sheng asked curiously.
"It was invented by the Engineering Society, although I gave some suggestions..." Xie Xin opened the box, and there was a deck of playing cards inside.
Obviously, this so-called suggestion seems a bit too big.
"This is..." Gongsun Sheng became even more curious.
"Playing cards are also called bridge." Xie Xin said proudly.
"How do you want to play?" Gongsun Sheng picked it up and looked at it.
"I'll teach you..." Xie Xin immediately stepped forward to explain.
So, the two of them played bridge in several ways. Gongsun Zan came along the way and soon joined the battle, and there were even more ways to play.
"Speaking of which, Bogui, what are you doing here?" Gongsun Sheng came to his senses only after the game was almost over.
"I would have forgotten if I didn't tell you...Actually, I was reporting a rumor from Shu..." Gongsun Zan said solemnly.
By the way, I glanced at the thank you letter.
"Xie Xin is my adopted brother and the son-in-law of the Gongsun family. Why shouldn't I hide it from him?" Gongsun Sheng said a little unhappy.
"That's not the case, but this rumor is related to him..." Gongsun Zan said helplessly.
"Oh, how about you tell me?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Okay... Actually, there are rumors in Shu now that Liu Bian looks nothing like the late emperor, but Xie Hua, who was favored by him, looks a bit like him. Taken together, Liu Bian is not so much the late emperor's son.
, it would be more appropriate to say thank you, brother, for your son.
Besides, I don’t know who spread the news that after Dong Zhuo disappeared after entering the capital, he appeared in the Xiaoyao sect. And he also said with certainty that she gave birth to a daughter to thank you, brother..." Gongsun Zan was cautious.
The report arrives.
"It's a pretty bad situation..." Gongsun Sheng looked at Xie Xin.
"Okay, I admit that this situation is indeed very bad...so, I will take the first step!" Xie Xin disappeared in a flash.
"No matter what the situation is, maybe it will be a good thing for our Gongsun family?" Gongsun Sheng closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice.
