Chapter 1524 It's Not That Simple
Junyi.
In the Yishan Pavilion, Sun Ce sat cross-legged and watched his two sons play games. He was not a good father. When these two children were born, he was fighting outside. After he was born, he rarely had time to spend with him. Unconsciously, the two children could walk and talk. He finally defeated Yuan Shao, the great enemy, and finally had time to take a breath and enjoy the joy of family.
The game is very simple. The two brothers each grabbed a piece from the chess box and saw who had more. The more they won. But they were happy. They went from the competition again and again, lying on the mat to count the pieces, meticulously. The winner cheered, the loser sighed, and then did it again. Sun Jie was a few months older, his hands were a little bigger, and he won more times, but he felt sorry for his younger brother. When he saw Sun Sheng’s grievance, he would quietly give up and make Sun Sheng happy.
Sun Ce envied them very much. He knew the outcome and the outcome. It would be fine to see who had more chess pieces. It would be great if the war was that simple.
A few horse neighing came from the slope. Sun Shangxiang and several Yulin Guards rushed to the foot of the mountain, tied their mounts, jumped off their horses, and quickly walked up the mountain. Sun Jie and Sun Sheng saw it, threw away the chess piece, stood up, and waved his hand vigorously.
"Eight aunt, eight aunt."
Sun Shangxiang ran to the pavilion and kissed each of the two little nephews in the faces. "Be good, did Dafeng bully his younger brother?"
"No, no." Sun Jie shook his hand quickly, and Sun Sheng also helped to prove it. "Dafeng loves Xiaofeng the most."
Sun Ce covered his face with his hands. He had a lot of opinions about his two sons, Dafeng and Xiaofeng. Although he knew that Feng was a male bird, Phoenix was a female bird, and Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang was a cross-special love, he was still not used to it. However, others agreed with it. Sun Ce used the phoenix bird as his name and his son was Dafeng, which was normal for Xiaofeng.
Sun Shangxiang and his two little nephews joked for a while and came to Sun Ce. "Brother, my senior brother is here. Can you take the time to meet him?"
Sun Ce looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise, and it took a long time to remember who she said was. "Have they returned from traveling?"
"I've been back early, but I'm going to Chang'an again soon and I'm here to say goodbye."
"Go to Chang'an?" Sun Ce was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled. "Do you know why you want to go to Chang'an?"
Sun Shangxiang sat on the railing, kicking her legs restlessly. "I asked a little, and they said they missed their parents and wanted to visit their relatives, but I felt something was wrong."
“What’s the problem?”
"Before my master went to Chang'an, they traveled in Nanyang and had not come back to see him for two years. This is understandable. They are not the eldest son and have no inheritance rights. My master is usually strict in discipline. The relationship between father and son is just as good as King Chen. He is so fun to go out. After returning to Chen State, although Wang Ziqi was also in charge, he was not as strict as my master. They haven't said they were going to Chang'an for so long. Now they are suddenly going, and they are so anxious, there must be problems."
Sun Ce nodded. "This is just the reason for the problem. Then you can talk about it, what might be the problem?"
Sun Shangxiang supported the railing with both hands, bowed his waist, raised his head, blinked his eyes, and thought for a long time. "Brother defeated Yuan Shao, Shandong is invincible, Jing Yuyang's three states are in hand, and Xu is also added. Now even Cao Ang has come to negotiate. In addition to Sili, the eldest brother accounts for half of the thirteen states in the world, which is stronger than Yuan Shao. The court must now want to seize the eldest brother's military power, but he dare not force him to seize it, so he can only think of other ways. Although my two senior brothers have no great skills, after all, they have been traveling in the past few years, which is considered to be a bit of insight. The emperor may have learned this from my master. He wants them to go to Chang'an to inquire about the eldest brother, and find a way to deal with it."
Sun Ce smiled, pinched Sun Shangxiang's nose lightly, and shook it. "The son is teachable."
Sun Shangxiang was dissatisfied and pushed Sun Ce's hand away. "I'm a woman." She rubbed her nose. "Brother, are you talking about what I said right?"
"I don't know if the result is right, but the analysis method is right, and even if there are differences, it will not be off topic. Then tell me, will I see you or not?"
"Of course we have to see what they all know. If there is anything they shouldn't know, find a reason to detain them. The court is trying to deal with the eldest brother, so they can't let them talk nonsense."
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing and thought for a moment. "Then talk to them first and see what they all know." Sun Shangxiang was about to speak, but Sun Ce said again. "Who do you want to be a consultant? Just choose whatever you want."
Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt energetic. "Okay." He jumped off the railing and hooked his finger at Lu Yi who was beside him. "Bo Yan, come here."
Lu Yi was speechless and had to come over. "What are the instructions of the third general?"
"Now I officially appoint you as the Left Military Advisor for this negotiation."
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "Ye, let's go to the left military advisor, who is the right military advisor?"
"Guo Yi." Sun Shangxiang was furious. "They were my guardians. Bo Yan was responsible for formulating the outline, and Guo Yi was responsible for the specific implementation. We did this before, and it was tried and done every time." As he said that, he pulled Lu Yi away without waiting for Sun Ce to express his opinions. Although Lu Yi was several years older than her, she was dragged to the point of stumble and was very embarrassed.
Sun Ce watched them go down the mountain and was hugged by Yulinwei, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated. He originally thought that Zu Rong was dead and the spread of Buddhism had been interrupted, but when he heard the word "Protector" that Sun Shangxiang accidentally appeared just now, he realized that the problem was not that simple. The spread of Buddhism did not stop because of Zu Rong's death, but spread faster than he thought. Even Sun Shangxiang, who spent most of his time in the military camp, was so familiar with Buddhist terms and spoke so easily.
"Go and find something delicious to my mother." Sun Ce patted his two sons' faces.
"Yes." The two children were frustrated that Sun Shangxiang would not take them to play. When they heard that there was something delicious, they became happy again. They held hands, jumped and sang nursery rhymes.
Sun Ce walked back and forth twice and called Zhuge Liang over. "Kong Ming, is there anything related to the official documents I have received recently?"
"Futu?" Zhuge Liang thought for a moment. "No special mention is mentioned, but according to common sense, it should not be an accident that the spread of Futu in Yuzhou should be. General, what's wrong?"
"Why did the Buddha spread in Yuzhou?"
"Did the general forget? When Zuo Rong was in Xia Pi, he built a Buddhist temple and a Buddhist bathing party. Tens of thousands of believers were killed by Liu He. Those believers were scattered all over the world. Last year, most of these people entered Yuzhou." Zhuge Liang smiled. "The general may not know that you are very famous in the mouths of the people who believe in Futu. They said that you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva and came to save the suffering from suffering."
"What a mess." Sun Ce interrupted Zhuge Liang and said angrily: "Some people in the army believe it?"
Seeing that Sun Ce's face was stern, Zhuge Liang did not dare to neglect, so he quickly put away his smile. "There is indeed some in the army, but I don't know how it was spread. If the general wants to know, he might as well ask Gao Rou. I heard..."
Seeing that Zhuge Liang wanted to speak but stopped, Sun Ce lowered his face. "If you have anything, just say it, don't be mysterious."
"Here. I heard that Gao Rou seemed to be quite interested in the study of the Buddha, saying that the theory of the Buddha was similar to my Chinese knowledge."
