Zhong Yao and Xun Yu looked at each other and laughed. Xu Shao was really scared by the King of Wu, and he didn't even have the courage to fight. He was still the same person, but he had no energy at all.

Xu Shao knew it well and laughed twice with self-deprecating words. "How dare you say that the defeated generals dare to say that they are brave? And there are not many days left, so I don't want to fight for the urgency anymore."

Zhong Yao looked slightly. "I have been traveling for ten years. It's hard to work hard, but it has opened my horizons and broadened my mind. It's really rare. Wen Ruo, you have to learn this."

Xun Yu responded vaguely twice. Xu Shao was surprised and stared at Zhong Yao. Xun Yu looked again and again, but Xun Yu just laughed and did not dare to explain. Xu Shao had no choice but to let go for the time being. Zhong Yao then talked about the reception banquet tonight and told Xu Shao who would attend, so that Xu Shao was mentally prepared. Xu Shao heard it once, but did not hear Guo Jia's name, so he couldn't help asking.

"Has the MIIS been very busy recently?"

Although Zhong Yao didn't know the truth, he heard some rumors. It was just that the affairs of the MIIS were confidential, so he could not easily reveal them, and even Xun Yu did not mention them specifically. "The MIIS has always been very busy."

"I'm afraid it won't be." Xu Shao shook his head, stroked his beard, thinking. "When I passed by Yuzhang, my brother was planning to meet in Chaisang, but he got an appointment on the way, only saying that there was something wrong, not very detailed. When he passed by Likou, he met a boat from the Military Information Department who rushed south. Looking at the direction, he should have gone to Danyang. Shao guessed that there was a change in Jiangdong."

Zhong Yao and Xun Yu held their breath and exchanged glances, feeling complicated. King Wu was about to ascend the throne, but something might happen in Jiangdong, which is both a good and a bad thing. If something happens in Jiangdong, there must be a shadow of aristocratic families and powerful people. Sun Ce may be furious and attack the Jiangdong family and powerful families. However, in this way, the atmosphere of the new dynasty will inevitably be affected. Besides, the Ruying faction may not be completely out of the matter.

Many of the Ruying factions in the three counties of Jiangdong were appointed as prefect, wei, supervisor and county magistrates, such as the prefect of Yuzhang Xu Qian and the prefect of Danyang Du Xi. If something happened in Jiangdong, they would be affected somehow.

No wonder Guo Jia is so busy these two days that he can’t even see his shadow.

Sun Yi went up the mountain and met Ni Heng halfway. With his companionship, Ni Heng failed to rush to him, and opened his arms and whistled by the side, attracting everyone's attention.

Sun Yi also felt embarrassed. A madman appeared in the forbidden Wu Garden, where the King of Wu and important officials were recuperating. It was really embarrassing.

Liu Xian and Zhou Buyi were very curious, but he didn't ask too much and pretended not to see it.

They went up the mountain together and came to Sun Ce to handle official duties. In front of the hall where the ministers met, a man came forward to contact him and led Sun Yi in. Liu Xian and Zhou Buyi were arranged to rest in a long corridor next to him. It was getting late, and the night was low. The afterglow in the distance covered Jianye City with a layer of warm golden light. It was reflected by the fog steam evaporated below the mountain, adding a bit of confusion, like a fairyland. Thinking about the prosperity I had just seen along the way, Liu Xian was silent, but Zhou Buyi was a little excited.

"Uncle, is this the case in the famous cities in the world?" Zhou Buyi asked in a low voice.

Liu Xian touched Zhou Buyi's head. "No, this city is unique."

"Why, is Jianye City more prosperous than Luoyang City?"

"I can't say it for a while." Liu Xian squinted his eyes slightly, recalling what he saw and heard when he was studying in Luoyang when he was young. Luoyang City was indeed prosperous at that time, but it was different from Jianye City in front of him. He couldn't explain clearly what the specific difference was.

"Uncle, who was that lunatic just now?"

"I don't know you either. However, this person is running in the Forbidden Garden, but no one stops him. I think he is a regular visitor, so it should not be difficult to inquire."

Zhou Buyi tilted his head and his eyes flashed. "Uncle, do you know who I thought of? I thought of Chu Kuang Eat Yu. He pretended to be crazy and sang from the Master's car, but the Master couldn't sit still. Now this person roared in the King of Wu's Forbidden Garden, and the Forbidden Garden was also quiet, which shows that the King of Wu had a saint's heart."

Liu Xian looked at his nephew in surprise and couldn't help laughing, but reminded him: "Boy, the few songs that took the etiquette are not in line with each other, and it is not done by wise people."

Zhou Buyi nodded obediently, without saying anything, but his eyes were particularly clear.

Sun Yi entered the hall and saw Guo Jia coming out hurriedly. Sun Yi stopped and bowed to salute. When he was beside Sun Ce, he was given guidance from Guo Jia, and he was half a teacher and half a friend. Guo Jia slowed down, nodded with a smile, and walked over. Sun Yi was very surprised and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Shubi, come in quickly." Sun Ce shouted.

"Here." Sun Bi quickly walked to Sun Ce and gave a deep salute. "Right Protector, Chen Yi, pay homage to the king."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and raised his lips slightly. "Very good. Shubi, although you are not weak, you already have the demeanor of a general. There is no problem in taking charge of the side in the future. Tell me, what are your plans for the next step?"

"King, although my ministers win a little, it is a coincidence that the ministers dare not boast about their achievements. If you want to be in charge, you still need to experience more."

"real?"

"My heart is like a witness, and there is no concealment."

"It is a good thing to not be arrogant when you win, and it is not discouraged when you lose." Sun Ce walked to Sun Yi, reached out to take his hand to hold Sun Yi's shoulder, and patted him gently. "But sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be too modest. A true wise man knows that you are humble, but a fool thinks you are incompetent. So, you must show off when you should show your strength, so you cannot be coveted."

Sun Yi looked at Sun Ce blankly, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Sun Ce let go of Sun Yi and took a document from the case. Sun Yi took a look and knew that it was his military newspaper that he had won. Sun Ce shook his hand. "You have promoted Zhuge Liang as the first in his meritorious service, and you have many praises. Do you hope to summon Zhuge Liang to his command?"

"King, Zhuge Liang was called together with Lu Xun back then. Now Lu Xun is the younger sister's military advisor, and Zhuge Liang is my military advisor..."

"After all, my younger sister is a woman. She has to face not only a tangible enemy, but also an invisible doubt, so she can win but not lose. Lu Xun is not only a minister, but also her husband. It is natural to help her. Zhuge Liang is not the case, he is just a minister. There can only be a monarch and a minister between him and you, and there is no other thing, do you understand?"

Sun Yi suddenly blushed. "Master, what were you talking about?"

Sun Ce was slightly stunned, then reacted and couldn't help laughing. "Don't think too much, I have no other intention." He then put away his smile and looked serious. "If you can regard Zhuge Liang as your minister, if Brother Wang doesn't object, you will only be happy for you. But you must be clear that Zhuge Liang's intelligence and nature are the best choices and outstanding. If you meet a wise ruler, he will be a famous minister. If you are a mean person, the king is weak and the minister is strong, it is difficult for a strong minister to deceive the master. Are you sure you have such ability?"

Under Sun Ce's gaze, Sun Yi did not dare to take it lightly. After thinking about it carefully, he showed a hint of depression. "If my brother is not as good as Brother Wang, it is unlikely that he will surpass Zhuge Liang, and I am afraid he will not be able to control him."

Sun Ce nodded and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder again. "Only by knowing his shortcomings can you make progress. If you have such a mind, you still have room for improvement. Don't be anxious, take your time." He threw the general newspaper on the case. "Leave Zhuge Liang under your command for the time being. When do you feel that you can't control it? Say it, Brother Wang will transfer him back and arrange a more suitable position, so that he will live up to him."

Sun Yi was overjoyed. "Thank you, Brother Wang."

Sun Ce picked up a stack of documents from the case and handed them to Sun Yi. "There are many things happening these two days, so you can help with some of them. See if you don't have Zhuge Liang's assistance, you will still have some quality."

Sun Yi was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. Sun Ce turned around and ordered someone to pass on Liu Xian. Zhou Buyi entered the palace. Sun Yi understood it and quickly put away the documents and stood aside to observe. Sun Ce's meaning was already very clear. He would be willing to let go of his place in the future, guard one side, and even have his own independent fiefdom. How to get along with his ministers is the ability he needs to learn the most now, and observing by Sun Ce is the best learning opportunity.

Sun Ce stood in the hall with a smile on his face. Looking at Liu Xian who was rushing in quickly, Zhou Bumi.

He was not very interested in Liu Xian. He had literary talent and eloquence, and was a qualified candidate for the Secretary of the State Council. If he had enough qualifications in the future, it would be no problem to be promoted to the Secretary of the State Council. But his achievements were just like this. His lack of actual government affairs ability allowed him to achieve 2,000 stones based on his political achievements, and even the possibility of becoming a minister was almost zero.

He waited and watched for too long, came too late, and the opportunity had been missed.

Zhou Buyi would not be the case. He was still young, ten to twenty years old, and it was a good time. He had enough time to study and keep up with the rise of Wu Kingdom.

Sun Ce and Liu Xian chatted with him, asked about his hard work all the way, thanked Liu Xian for his help, and asked about his ambitions, and invited him to the court. Liu Xian was also a smart person. He knew that he had just arrived and the Wu court was full of talents, so he could not reach the top in one step, so he humbled a few words and pushed the credit to Zhuge Liang and others. He also blamed himself for not knowing the current situation and failed to serve in time. It was already a blessing to not die, and he was willing to make meritorious contributions.

Sun Ce hired Liu Xian as Shangshulang, stayed by his side and observed it closely.

The topic immediately turned to Zhou Buyi. At this time, Sun Ce squatted down and faced with Zhou Buyi.

When Sun Ce talked to Liu Xian, Zhou Buyi lowered his head, with a respectful expression, but he kept listening to Sun Ce's words intently. Seeing Sun Ce squatting down to talk to him, he was surprised and quickly lifted up his clothes and fell to the ground.

"Quanling Buyi, the son of Zhou, has never doubted that he has met the king."

Sun Ce smiled, reached out to caress Zhou Buyi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are a child prodigy."

Zhou Buyi respectfully bowed. "In front of the saint, he dared not call himself a child prodigy, but he was just a little wise. Quanling is remote and the villagers are ignorant. He spreads rumors and uses one as ten, which is not enough to be a lesson."

"It's better to see it at first sight than to hear it." Sun Ce pointed at his legs. "Guess what is the meaning of loneliness?"
