Sun Ce didn't say anything, picked up an orange from the glass cup on the table, slowly peeled it open, carefully picked up the silk thread on it, and put it in Mrs. Wu's hand. Mrs. Wu took it, but she had no intention of eating it. She looked at Sun Ce with a little uneasy look in her eyes.

She also knew that Sun Quan was taking it upon himself? But at this point, the situation in Jiaozhou is in critical condition, and she could not watch Sun Quan die in Jiaozhou. Sun Jian was seriously injured, and his life and death was unpredictable - perhaps he had already been seriously injured and died - she had no idea whether Sun Quan and Wu Jing and others could save the situation. Only Sun Ce was able to escape Sun Quan's siege. Sun Ce did not let go, and Sun Quan could not move forward. He had proved that his incompetence on the battlefield was not enough to accomplish anything except implicating others. When Sun Jian was there, no one dared to say anything. If Sun Jian was gone, he would be the target of public criticism, and Wu Jing could not help him.

"My mother, I will do what you say," Sun Ce raised his head, his eyes clear and calm. "No matter what, I have the responsibility for this matter. Last time Ah Weng was in a vain, I should be vigilant. I should have made timely adjustments, but I was still lucky and implicated Ah Weng was injured. This time, no matter what, I can't tolerate it anymore. If Ah Weng is not cured, or if Ah Uncle is implicated again, I really can't explain to Ah Weng."

Mrs. Wu was speechless, and she stopped talking, her eyes were a little ashamed, and she became more and more worried. There were many people in Jiaozhou, including Wu Jing, Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu and other old generals. If Sun Quan was allowed to do it again, she might be who next time. She thought for a long time and could only sigh. "Bo Fu, I am a woman, how can I understand military and national affairs? You should deal with it." Mrs. Wu held Sun Ce's hand and shook it gently. "My mother can trust you."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed slightly, and his hands were pulled back, crossed his hands, placed them in front of his abdomen, and his two thumbs turned back and forth without saying a word for a long time. Although Mrs. Wu was anxious, she did not dare to interrupt Sun Ce's thoughts. She also knew that Sun Ce was not only worried about Jiaozhou, but also that he had more important things to deal with, and these things were related to the future of the Sun family. The wealth of countless people was far more important than Sun Quan alone.

"Zhongmou is self-conceited and eager to make contributions. Apart from Aweng, I am the only one who can command him. Logically, I should go to Jiaozhou in person, but I really can't get away now." Sun Ce let out a sigh. "If my mother writes a letter and ask Zhongmou to come back first. Leave the affairs of Jiaozhou to my uncle and temporarily defend the South China Sea. When I pacify the Central Plains, I will go to Jiaozhou in person and find the Shi family to settle the score."

"Let Zhongmou come back?"

"Well, let him come back." Sun Ce scratched his head. "I just said that I had found a few women for him and needed him to come back for a blind date by himself. He is not young anymore. Let's start a family first. Let's talk about career matters later, so don't worry."

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Wu couldn't think of a better solution, so she nodded and agreed. "Then do you think, whose woman can be betrothed Zhongmou?"

"I can't say this." Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, "Although marriage is about the portal, it depends on whether they are in love with each other. With the Xie family in front, I'm afraid that many people have a bad impression of him and can't come, so they'd better wait for him to come back. But there's no need to mention Xu Hua's affairs. It's a joke. My aunt can't agree, she's such a face-saving person."

Mrs. Wu nodded awkwardly. Because of Xu Hua's incident, she had a very unhappy relationship with her sister-in-law. This was the first time in so many years. In order to appease her sister-in-law's family, Sun Ce didn't know how much more price she had to pay. Xu Kun was already the governor of Jinan and was much better than Sun Quan. Now that Sun Quan was frustrated, she was going to be transferred back by Sun Ce, and she might not have the chance to make meritorious again in the future. However, Xu Kun wanted to be promoted to the title, which was really annoying.

Sun Ce saw it and changed the subject. "My mother cares about Aweng, uncle and Zhongmou, have you ever prayed for them?"

"This is natural, not only for them, but also for you." Mrs. Wu said: "Last year, I heard that you retreated to Jianye because of a small misfortune. I was uneasy and couldn't help, so I donated some money and asked someone to pray for you. You have been safe all year round, and it seems that it is still very effective."

"Is that true god you invited?"

"Do you want to see them?" Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Ce, believing and be skeptical. Sun Ce didn't even believe in the destiny. Yan Fuqiu asked for a lot of meetings, but he had not obtained his permission. Now Sun Ce asked them, but he didn't know what the purpose was.

"Aweng was injured, and I also want to pray for him, hoping that he can get rid of danger and safety."

Mrs. Wu was very pleased. Sun Ce might not believe in Yan Fuchi, but he was willing to make concessions for his father Sun Jian. This was a rare filial piety. She agreed immediately and sent someone to notify Yan Fuchi to see Sun Ce. Yan Fuchi had been waiting for this day for a long time.

——

Yan Futu came soon.

Following Lu Ji, he climbed to the study building of Wujun Academy and came to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce stood upstairs, standing with Lu Kang, enjoying the scenery while chatting softly. Wujun County School was built on the ridge. To the east, you can overlook the prosperity of the city, with rows of lines. To the west, you can enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake, with the same color as the water and sky.

The day after Sun Ce returned to Wu County, he came to the county school. Lu Kang was very happy and accompanied Sun Ce to chat and laugh, and imagined the future. Lu Ji had already told him Sun Ce's decision, agreeing that he would study hard without affecting his mission, and pay attention to attracting the achievements of new learning and studying the history of the development of Yixue. Although there are no specific results yet, Lu Kang has been paying attention to academic development in recent years and is very clear that this is a brand new knowledge, not just a book.

"By the way, I received a message from Bing Yuan the day before yesterday, saying that he received a jade artifact from the Hu people." Lu Kang patted the railing and put away his smile. "I heard that it was a bit strange. He did not dare to make arbitrary decisions. He was discussing with Guan Ning. He sent several letters to Zhongyuan to inform the news."

"What kind of jade artifact is so nervous?" Sun Ce smiled. Bingyuan's reaction was a bit abnormal. With new discoveries, he did not argue with Lu Kang and others as weapons, or even made public in the academic journal, but contacted privately, and there must be something strange. However, he knew in his heart that since Qian Tang and Yuhang were unearthed, Liaodong and western Liaoning were no exception. It was the famous Hongshan culture location, and the distribution of the ruins was larger than that of Liangzhu ruins. The Jade Dragon, known as the number one dragon in China, came from the Hongshan cultural circle.

Lu Kang frowned, thinking about how to speak, and the footsteps sounded, Yan Fuchi appeared at the stairs. When he saw Lu Kang also was there, Yan Fuchi's expression was a little unnatural. Lu Kang also snorted, lowered his face, and shouted: "Yan Fuchi, don't talk nonsense in front of the king. The king is not those fools, otherwise be careful of your head."

Yan Fuchi bowed and bowed to the courtesy. "If you don't make any contribution to the theory, you will kill someone. This is a story about Confucianism, but the king has long been aware of the falsehood of Confucianism and the decline of classics. He will not learn from your Confucianism."

"Hmph! There are inevitably differences and twists and turns in academic inheritance. The longer the inheritance, the more people will study it, the more this is the case. You, the Tao of Futu, is no exception. Do you think I don't know that in that country of Heaven, there are many people who disagree with what you said about the Tao of Futu, and even denounce it as evil?"

Yan Futa nodded and shook his head again. "What the priest said was very, but there are differences. Those in India who regarded the Path of Futu as the evil path were all conservative and corrupt people. Those who conserved the old and refused to accept the new learning, so they spoke of slandering the saints. Although they were slaughtering, they were useless. For hundreds of years, the old and the old were declining, and the new learning was growing up, like a young man growing up."

"I was a young man back then, and I would be an old man in the future." Lu Kang was even more displeased. "You are also my clothes in Zhongyuan. Even if you abandon Confucianism and become a Buddhist, why did you forget to respect the elderly? But this is normal. Fu Tu became a monk again, and did not worship his parents at home, and did not worship the emperor in court. Why should you care about the elderly?"

Yan Futu was speechless for a moment. Lu Kang's words hit the key point of the Futu Tao. The Futu Tao was born again and wanted to cut off the burden of the world, which was not only contrary to the Confucian views, but also incompatible with secular politics. According to the teachings of the Futu Tao, he did not need to salute the monarch in the secular world, but he asked Sun Ce to come, so how could he not respect him?

Lu Kang stroked his beard and looked proud. He debated with Yan Fuchao many times, but he finally won a game today. In front of Sun Ce, Yan Fuchao still dared to emphasize that the Buddha Dao has no monarch or minister, no noble or lowly, is sentient beings equal?

Sun Ce smiled and said nothing. He didn't like Buddhism, especially some resistance to the spread of Buddhism, but he didn't like Confucianism's practice of engaging in academic debates with political hats. However, in front of Lu Kang, he would not express such views. After all, he just wanted to transform Confucianism and did not completely deny the idea of ​​Confucianism.

As of now, only Confucianism can shoulder the heavy responsibility of political philosophy.

Yan Fuchao pondered for a moment. "Master, Fuchao has something to be confused. Can you ask the King to solve the doubts?"

"Don't dare."

"When Yuan Gusheng and Huang Sheng argued about Confucianism and Huang Lao in front of Emperor Xiaojing, how did Emperor Xiaojing judge? Yuan Gusheng offended Empress Dowager Dou and ordered him to enter the circle to attack the pig. How did Emperor Xiaojing do it?"

Sun Ce laughed and said to Lu Kang: "Mr. Lu, look, this is just getting into the house and fighting."

Lu Kang snorted, disagreed. Just as Yan Fuchao was refuted, Sun Ce waved his hand calmly. Lu Kang was uneasy, but said nothing, just watched coldly. Sun Ce was also interested in Fuchao Dao, wanted to listen to Yan Fuchao preaching, or did he study Fuchao Dao, and wanted to come to an end in person and impress Yan Fuchao? Yan Fuchao recently went to the powerful and powerful doors for preaching. Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yuan both had a good impression of him and donated a lot of money. Sun Ce specially rushed back from Pingyu this time, and it was likely that he had the intention to target Fuchao Dao.

"Jun Yan, I take the liberty to ask, is your enthusiasm for the Pagodao out of academic research or obeying his achievements? How do you think of the Buddha's actions?"

Yan Fuchao said: "It has both."

Sun Ce shook his head. "I am blunt, you may have lost both. In terms of academics, the meaning of the Taoist scriptures you know is nothing more than the basics. In terms of behavior, how stingy you are from the Buddha's actions is thousands of miles apart, it is simply a deception of your master and destroying your ancestors."
