Facts prove that Sun Ce underestimated the appreciation ability of the ancients. Although the song "Climbing the Youzhou Platform" was hundreds of years ahead of schedule and did not agree with the style of this era, the people who accompanied him still felt the desolate beauty, and they were moved for a while, and even sighed and cried. Even a crude guy like Gan Ning sighed continuously, and felt confused when he drew his sword and looked around.

When there were songs, there were harmony. Gu Hui and others began to prepare for a manuscript, preparing to express their feelings and applaud them. Someone urged to publish a collection of poems to follow Zhang Hong and Yang Xiu's stories. The two of them traveled together for several days and obtained more than ten poems and essays. Later, they published a "Poyang Collection", which was printed with more than a thousand pieces, which was very popular. After the printing process was made public, a large number of printing workshops opened, and there was a great demand for manuscripts. After all, only a few people studied the subjects such as Confucianism and "Salt and Iron Theory of Salt and Iron", and ordinary readers prefer poetry and prose, legendary stories, and one print is thousands, and there is no need for sales at all.

Seeing his staff reciting poems and essays, Sun Ce was very excited, and did not dare to write again. He escaped from the crowd on the excuse of watching the scenery. The mountains have the benefits of mountainous land. After a turn, the excitement was separated by the bustling. There were only green trees and red flowers in front of him, and the wind and birds were singing in his ears. The world suddenly became quiet. Although he knew that there were dozens of eyes paying attention to him in the dark, Sun Ce was still much more relaxed.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him. Sun Ce turned his head and saw Liu He standing quietly at the turn with a maid. Seeing him looking over, she stopped and smiled timidly. Although Sun Ce regretted that it was rare to be quiet, he still waved and made another gesture, indicating that Guo Wu and others should not let more people come and disturb him.

Liu He walked behind Sun Ce, stood silently, secretly looked at Sun Ce, and wanted to say something but stopped. Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, "Speak whatever you want, don't be so arrogant."

Liu He had a smile on his eyes. "I just felt surprised. It turned out that my husband was also afraid of something."

Sun Ce thought about it and laughed. "Of course, I am also a human being."

Liu He raised his head, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Sun Ce curiously. "A gentleman has three fears. What else does his husband fear besides being afraid of writing poetry?"

Sun Ce did not answer. He thought about it very seriously and felt that he seemed to have not only three fears. In addition to being afraid of reciting poems and essays, he was also afraid of discussing politics with others. He had no foundation in classics and knew nothing about political theory, especially the Confucian political views. He actually did not know the connotation and the logic behind it. He could make Confucian scholars speechless, but he might not be able to propose better theories.

With a group of geniuses, this kind of pressure is not something that ordinary people can imagine. This is a utilitarian world. No one will bow down because of his domineering spirit. Everyone has their own interests and goals they hope to achieve. They either directly or tactfully, openly or secretly, and compete openly and secretly, and he is the person in the center of the vortex. Being led to deviate from the direction is small, and if you are accidentally tear apart, you may be torn apart by different forces.

The most obvious example is whether Lidu Yangxian or Moling. How to fight the next battle in Youzhou is another example. There will be more and more such matters, and the struggles between different factions will become more and more intense, and even affect the implementation of major policies. This makes him feel tired from being unable to do anything. From an ordinary person to a dominant overlord, this step is a bit big. Sun Ce often feels that this is a dream. Maybe when he wakes up from a dream, he goes back to the past and finds that he just lie on the desk and has a nap, drooling.

"I'm afraid of many things, and I can't explain it clearly for a moment." Sun Ce raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance. "In a few days, we will have to take a boat into the sea. The tower boat looks big, but it's no different from a leaf when it comes to the sea. Once you encounter wind and waves, no one dares to say that they can be foolproof. There have been few accidents in the tower boat in recent years, but every time there is an accident, the losses are very large. The person who falls into the water cannot help himself, and life and death are determined by heaven."

Sun Ce turned to look at Liu He. "The risk of cross-sea combat is not necessarily smaller than that of your younger brother's Western Expedition."

"So, my husband is afraid of destiny?"

"What does this have to do with destiny?" Sun Ce frowned and shook his head, "I don't believe in destiny."

"Then what do you believe?"

Sun Ce didn't know how to explain it for a while. I believe in quantum theory, everything is probability? Everyone is the cat of the Xue family, whether born or died, not alive or dead? I believe in wormholes, so I travel through time and space to come here?

"I believe in the Tao, and the Tao follows the Tao of nature."

"Taiping Road?"

Sun Ce was completely speechless. He thought about it and decided to give up this topic. He understood why Liu He thought so. Yu Ji and others preached in Yuzhou. Recently, they quarreled with some Buddhists such as Yan Buddha Dian. The dispute over Buddhism and Taoism has already begun. However, whether it is Buddha or Taoism, it has not become a climate now, so the impact is limited. However, he summoned a large number of Yellow Turban Army to farm, and the court believed that it was reasonable for him to believe in Taiping.

"What do you believe in?"

Liu He was embarrassed by Sun Ce, and lowered his head and looked at his toes. "I... I originally believed in Futu."

"Buddha?"

"Yes, life is all hard, only I hope for the next life." Liu He sighed softly: "I have no power to tie a chicken and cannot avenge those who die. I have to pray every day, hoping that those who kill people will fall into hell and receive punishment."

Sun Ce was so amused and crying, but he was relieved. Liu He did not do anything except ask the Bodhisattva for blessing. One of the reasons why Buddhism was prosperous during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was that dynasties changed, life and death were impermanent. Even the clans with great family and great business might not be able to protect themselves in troubled times and could not control themselves in this life, so they had to rely on hopes for the next life. There are two types of people who believe in Buddhism: one is extremely smart, and the other is ignorant, but in the final analysis, they are all kind of people: full of fear of the unknown.

It’s a pity that fear cannot be reduced by faith, and will only be exploited by others. The only way to overcome fear is to face fear. Even if there is a vast ocean and vast stars ahead, it is impossible to reach the goal in this life, but taking one step is better than crying in place.

"The essence of the Buddha is not bitter, but emptiness." Sun Ce laughed. "I have a Buddha Sutra, which was given by the Buddha Taoist from Baima Temple in Luoyang. Let's go back to you. I don't have time to read it anyway."

"If you don't have time to see it, how do you know that the essence of the Buddha is emptiness or suffering?"

"Well……"

Seeing that Sun Ce was speechless and looked awkward, Liu He subconsciously retracted his neck and lowered his head. "Thank you, my husband, for giving the scriptures."

Sun Ce didn't say anything else. He looked back at Yue Wu and others in the distance and suddenly remembered something. "You have been here these days. I forgot to tell you that your maids are not young anymore. If there is a suitable person, just marry them. Don't delay them. I don't have a shortage of people around me, and I don't need too many maids to serve."

Liu He nodded. Gan Mei and Zhen Mi had not many maids, one or two fewer, and the more like Mi Lan, there were only three people. There were twenty dowry maids around her, which was indeed too many. She had no other source of income, and she could not support so many people with the monthly money given by Sun Ce. Although she brought a lot of dowry, it was not a long-term solution to eat the whole country.

"I'll leave two, let the others be dismissed. They are not young anymore, and even in the palace, they should be dismissed."

"Don't be too anxious. Take advantage of this period of time to have a lot of contact with Yicongying. If you see a suitable one, you will marry. If you have the opportunity to meet in the future, you will have the opportunity to meet and keep in touch. The boys in Yicongying are all good, good martial arts, good character, and loyal. If you release them in the future, you will be at least a commander. It is not impossible to produce a few generals, and it will not be considered as a humiliation."

"Is this... okay?" Liu He was surprised and happy. Those who could be palace maids were not from ordinary origins, even if they were not a noble family, but officials. The emperor knew that her marriage was special, and she was afraid that Sun Ce would be suspicious. She chose innocent families who had no conflict with Sun Ce. Her appearance was all the best, and she knew the words and words. If she could marry the soldiers around Sun Ce, she would be a connection resource for her and no longer be alone and helpless. Of course, she couldn't ask for it, but she felt that such a good thing was too easy to come and could not believe her ears.

"What's wrong with it?" Sun Ce smiled. He knew what Liu He was thinking. He didn't want to give Liu He a chance to form a clique for personal gain, but he knew that this could not be stopped at all. Which of the women around him was not standing behind a group of people? The Yuan sisters had old subordinates of the Yuan family, Yin Yu had a martial arts class graduate, and there was no difference between Liu He and any of them.

Liu He had no support behind him. Letting her maid marry out can not only solve some economic burdens, but also solve the marriage problems of some soldiers. These maids have good backgrounds and high overall cultural literacy. Marrying these Yicongying soldiers and taking care of their husbands and children will have a significant improvement in the overall quality of his direct lineage, at least it is better than marrying a woman who is ignorant of a word. As for loyalty, he was not worried at all. The soldiers of Yicongying followed him through life and death, and were loyal. If they were blown away by a few words of pillow wind, it would be too failure, and such a person would not be able to do anything.

These days he also realized that although Liu He was a princess, she had neither the ability to play with power nor the ambition to form cliques. She just wanted to live a peaceful life. Since that was the case, he didn't mind Xiao Shi's grace and asked these maids to marry the soldiers of the Yicheng camp, and each had his needs, and both were in good condition.

Seeing that Sun Ce was not like joking, Liu He repeatedly claimed thanks. She accompanied Sun Ce forward and unknowingly held Sun Ce's hand again. The two walked side by side, and when the mountain road was narrow, they could not help but rub their arms, and sometimes even squeezed together. The spring shirt was thin, and Liu He could feel the power from Sun Ce's thick arms. His heart was pounding, and he couldn't say anything. His smile became more and more, and his steps became lighter and his skirt fluttered, like a butterfly. She looked at Sun Ce from time to time, and the more she looked, she became more and more happy, and couldn't help but say, "Husband, I'll sing a Hu song for you."
