"Is Xiaohu's response right?"

After washing up, Yuan Heng took off his crown, untied his hair, changed into a plain silk dress, sat slanted by the couch, shaking his palm-leaf fan, and asked while fanning Sun Ce. Her face was delicate, and her skin after bathing was as delicate as jade, shining with a warm and smoothness.

Sun Ce put down the book in his hand, glanced at Yuan Heng, and smiled. "I want to ask you a question before answering your question."

"Puff!" Yuan Heng couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "I knew you would say that. Recently, have you read too much of the Buddhist scriptures or have you read too much of the Mohist school? You always like to ask questions."

Sun Ce thought something and felt that Yuan Heng was so sharp. The reason why Buddhism is so popular is largely related to the depth of the Buddhist scriptures. Buddhism is actually very logical, which is related to Mozi's theory. Later generations have suspected that Mozi was a native of India, and at least influenced by India's thoughts, and his appearance and ideological characteristics have traces of foreign culture.

"You can't say that, and the Master said that you are not angry or unwilling to speak. The conclusion is actually not important, because the conclusion varies from time to time and event. There are no certain rules, but the way of thinking has rules to follow."

"Okay——" Yuan Heng raised his hand and begged for mercy. "The king is wise. Please ask."

But Sun Ce put away his smile, sat up, and stared at Yuan Heng's eyes. "What kind of person do you hope Xiaohu will become in the future?"

"Me?" In an instant, Yuan Heng's eyes dodged a little, but she quickly calmed down. She pondered for a moment. "I hope Xiaohu will become the good son of the king and the chief minister of the crown prince." She pursed her lips and said, "I hope he will become a well-educated and polite scholar who can distinguish right from wrong."

"Which of so many hopes is the most basic one?"

"Sir. This is the fundamental."

"Yes, not everyone can become my son when he was born, nor can everyone be the clergyman, but everyone can become a wise and polite person who distinguishes right from wrong. Similarly, whether to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous must first look at whether to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, whether to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, whether to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, whether to be able to be needed, naturally take what can be needed, and naturally don't want what can not be needed."

"Then is there anything wrong with killing it to stop killing?"

"It's not that killing is wrong, but whether it's appropriate to let Xiaohu do this. One thing should not only ask whether it should be done, but also ask whether it can be done. Is it appropriate to let a child face a murderer holding a knife? If it is not appropriate, it is life-spending. In the face of life-spending, even if I am his father, he should not obey. This is not loyalty and filial piety, this is foolish loyalty and filial piety, and even the Master will not agree with it."

Yuan Heng rolled his eyes. "King, are you... speaking, what do you think of someone? How can you answer?"

Sun Ce picked the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "Since you hope Xiaohu will become the chief minister of the crown prince, you should train him to be careful from a young age, rather than sticking to the classics, only talking about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, not right and wrong. The party members are not far away from their knowledge, and you have forgotten so quickly?"

Yuan Heng pondered for a long time, stood up and gave a big gift to Sun Ce. "The king criticized me because I was careless."

"Get up." Sun Ce reached out and pulled Yuan Heng up. "Educating children is more difficult than governing the country. The responsibility on your shoulders is very heavy. Don't be anxious, take it slowly. As long as you keep your heart upright and follow the way, there should be no major problems. Correct the source and the roots are deep and the leaves are lush. First, you teach them to be a wise and polite scholar and distinguish right from wrong. After the age of ten, I will let them listen to the government affairs and see if they can become loyal ministers."

"Here." Yuan Heng was alert in his heart and bowed to accept the order.

——

In early May, Yuan Tan's envoy came to Jianye.

The envoy's surname was Chen Lin, his courtesy name was Kong Zhang, and he was from Sheyang, Guangling. He was in the same county as Zhang Hong. He was also a literati and had dated before. Yuan Tan appointed him as an envoy, so he naturally hoped that with the help of his friendship with Zhang Hong, he would speak more conveniently.

When Chen Lin entered the country, Zhang Hong received the news and immediately discussed with Sun Ce. Sun Ce knew Yuan Tan’s little thoughts and was not in a hurry to see Chen Lin, so he asked Lu Cui to accompany him to take a look around.

Lu Cui was once under Yuan Tan and was not unfamiliar with Chen Lin, but at that time Chen Lin was a confidant around Yuan Shao, but Lu Cui was a new official whom Chen Lin looked down on him a little. Now the situation is upside down, Lu Cui is Sun Ce's pen and has written a lot of articles, especially reflecting on Wang Mang's articles, which are quite insightful and popular all over the world. His younger brother Lu Zhao was also a general in Sun Ce's central army. Chenliu's Lu family is both civil and military, and it is definitely not something Chen Lin can beat.

When the two met, Lu Cui was full of spirit and took out his special new work "Wu Du Fu" for Chen Lin's advice. Chen Lin was very embarrassed. As far as literary talent was concerned, he really looked down on Lu Cui. Lu Cui was used to writing political articles and was very resentful. The words were full of bandits and looked like a villain with a powerful face, but he could not say bluntly that Yuan Tan was not in a good position in the battle now, so he sent him to discuss peace because he had something to ask for. If he offended Lu Cui, he might not even see Sun Ce.

To endure the strong discomfort, Chen Lin praised Lu Cui for a few words, then brought the topic to the main point, asked about Zhang Hong's schedule, hoping to have a direct conversation with Zhang Hong. Lu Cui not only resented Chen Lin's contempt in the past, but also was dissatisfied with Chen Lin's perfunctory at this moment, but deliberately said to him, not saying when Zhang Hong would see him. Chen Lin was anxious, but he could do nothing.

After May, Jianye became even hotter. Chen Lin stayed in the inn for a few days and was harassed by Luci every now and was so anxious that he could not help but send someone to inquire about Zhang Hong's time for restlessness and forced him to visit him.

Zhang Hong is not Lu Cui, and he can't be so heartless. Since Chen Lin has arrived outside the door, he must see him.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is in Taichu Palace, and Chen Lin cannot enter. Zhang Hong changed into a Yue cloth summer robe, took two followers, and left the palace gate. Chen Lin stood at the palace gate and saw Zhang Hong coming out, feeling relieved. He hurriedly met him and said half-jokingly: "Zhang Xiang is now a powerful and powerful person, and he will not be seen at any time."

Zhang Hong was not humble, so he bowed back to the ceremony. "The Wu Kingdom Xinzhao is full of things and is indeed a little busy. The summer is here, and the king is preparing to go to Gebi, Runan to escape the heat. There are many things to arrange. I neglect Kong Zhang and forget to forgive me."

Chen Lin's heart tightened. "The King of Wu is going to Runan?"

Zhang Hong knew what he was nervous and laughed. "Don't be nervous if you escape the summer heat, don't be nervous."

How could Chen Lin not be nervous? He was so nervous that his clothes were so wet. Yuan Tan sought negotiations and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Sun Ce did not see him, but wanted to go to Runan. This was not a summer vacation, it was obvious that he had to use martial arts. The more Zhang Hong told him not to be nervous, the more nervous he was.

"When will the King of Wu start?" Chen Lin tentatively, the smile on her face was even worse than crying, and the sweat on her forehead was dense. "If it is convenient, Yuan Jun can interview him."

"No, no, no, no," Zhang Hong pulled Chen Lin's arm. "It's probably the first time you've come to Jianye. I'll take you to visit. The scenery of Jiangnan and Hebei is very different. Jianye is a place where dragons and tigers are lying in the sky, ten miles of Qinhuai, a hundred feet of purple gold, and the scenery is very good. Kong Zhang is very prosperous and has a great literary appearance, and Hongwen is inevitable."

Chen Lin was so amused that he was not in the mood to see the scenery or write articles at this time. But he didn't dare to refuse. He could travel with Zhang Hong, so it would always be good to have more time to talk.

The two of them got off the Stone City and came to the Qinhuai River. A cruise ship was immediately on a peddler. The boat was not big, about three meters long and less than one meter wide. There were sun-shading flower squids in the middle. There were small tables under the flower squids, allowing three or four people to sit and drink tea and drink wine. There were only two women on the boat, one old and one young, and two women were rocking the boat, and the little women welcomed the guests. As soon as they saw Zhang Hong, the little women laughed.

"I heard the magpies chirping early this morning. I knew there were guests to appreciate the glory, but I didn't expect it to be Zhang Xiang. It was really a surprise. Zhang Xiang, I don't have any money to eat wine today. Can I give you a boat to get a boat?"

Zhang Hong smiled with a smile on his beard. "You have to pay for the wine, and you can write a boat trick. Just Du Sanniang needs to sing a few more good songs."

"Zhang Xiangyou Ling, how dare you not obey?" The little woman called Du Sanniang smiled like a flower and enthusiastically led Zhang Hong. Chen Lin got on the boat. Chen Lin wanted to say something important to Zhang Hong, so she asked the follower and Zhang Hong's servant to take another boat. The two of them took their seats. Du Sanniang worked hard for a while and brought a pot of wine, two wine glasses, and four plates of side dishes: a plate of Gaoyou salted duck eggs, a plate of dried fruit, a plate of crispy dried fish, and a plate of cold turnip silk, each with its own characteristics. Especially the turnip silk, I don't know what the ingredients were, and it made people's index fingers squirt. Chen Lin didn't wait for Zhang Hong to greet him, and then picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

"Where is the brush and ink?" Zhang Hong sat down, rolled up his sleeves and asked.

Du Sanniang said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang is not anxious. He eats wine first, eats half-heartedly before writing, and the charm is the most powerful. Just like fried fish, the fried fish is either not crispy or fragrant. It is also like fighting, and the time is not right. Even if he can win, it will not be happy enough. If he is like the court and Yuan Tan, he will fight without embarrassment, and he will not be able to advance or retreat, wouldn't he be anxious?"

When Chen Lin heard this, she looked embarrassed. She looked at Zhang Hong with a smile on her face, and then at the boat girl who was chatting and laughing. It took a lot of effort to swallow the turnips in her mouth. "Why, the people of your Wu Kingdom are so concerned about the world's affairs. Even a boat girl knows about the war in the Central Plains?"

Before Zhang Hong could answer, Du Sanniang glanced at Chen Lin, then smiled and said, "The guest is from Jizhou, right?"

Chen Lindaqi. "How do you know I am from Jizhou?"

Qiao Sanniang covered her lips and smiled, and her eyes turned into crescent moons. "I think the guest can travel with Zhang is not an ordinary person. But the summer clothes on the guest are not the best. The scholars of my Wu Kingdom are definitely unwilling to wear them, and the Yanzhou people are not very willing to wear them. Only the people of Jizhou who cannot see the real good Yue cloth will be regarded as rare things. To be honest, if the guests don't like to hear, your summer clothes are not as good as the desk cloth on my boat."
