After drinking and eating, I returned home with great pleasure.

It was midnight when we returned to the camp. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else had already rested. The camp on the shore was very quiet, and the boats by the river were pitch black, and only one ship was still on. Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little surprised. He called the soldiers on duty and realized that it was Wei Teng. Wei Teng was from Kuaiji and was used to taking boats. He knew that he was not Sun Ce's confidant. He consciously kept a distance and did not live in Sun Ce's central army camp.

Sun Ce brought Guo Wu to Wei Teng's boat. Hearing the footsteps and feeling the hull shaking, Wei Teng poked his head out to take a look. He was very surprised to see that it was Sun Ce. "The general came in the middle of the night, what advice do you have?"

Sun Ce laughed and said, "Would you like to come out and say, or should I go in and say, you can't say it through the window."

Wei Teng turned around and looked. "I'll go out and talk. The lamps in the cabin have a strong smell of oil. I want to go out for some breathing. I'll be ready to rest later."

Sun Ce responded and turned to the bow of the boat. Wei Teng tidied up in the cabin, bent down and walked out, shook his clothes, and came to Sun Ce. The moon reached the sky, reflected in the river, sparkling, and there was a tranquility and peace. Wei Teng sniffed and looked at Sun Ce again.

"The general has drunk a lot of alcohol, aren't he afraid of danger?"

Sun Ce smiled. He knew that Xu Chun wanted to be unfavorable to him, but it was not now. Xu Chun was still a little self-aware and knew that the hundreds of poems of his family were not opponents of Yicongying and would not act rashly. He invited him to attend the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival two days later, so it naturally took time to dispatch people. He also wanted to take this opportunity to attack Xu Chun, but there was no need to tell Wei Teng about these.

"Why didn't Wei Jun go to the banquet?"

Wei Teng chuckled, put his hand behind him, raised his head, and admired the bright moon that was about to fill for a while. "It is rich and noble to me, and I am like a cloud of clouds. I also know a little about the story of the Xu family. Although I am not a good person, I don't want to join it."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Do you tell me the story of Xu Wu becoming rich, or what happened when Xu Qing relied on the eunuch?"

Wei Teng turned his head to look at Sun Ce, snorted, and turned around and was about to return to the cabin. Sun Ce smiled and said, "Is Wei Jun guilty?"

Wei Teng stopped and said angrily: "General, you don't plan for each other. When I reach middle age, I am lazy and I am afraid I can't change it. If the general dislikes it, at most, he will never interact with each other. Why do you have to come to entertain me in the middle of the night? With this time, you might as well take a break early, and I might as well read two more chapters."

"What book did you read?" Sun Ce was not angry and said slowly: "You are from Shangyu, I would like to ask you a question. I heard that Yu from Shangyu is related to Emperor Shun. Is there any such thing?"

Wei Teng's expression slowed down and turned back. "Therefore, the old legend is that it is not easy to say whether Shun avoided Danzhu's rebellion here." He thought for a moment and said again: "However, there are many legends about Danzhu in Yuzhang, Danyang and other places, and there are occasionally records in the classics, but there are many different opinions and many differences, which are difficult to accept. Even the saints could not explain the ancient things. I have shallow knowledge and dare not mislead others. Why don't the general ask Yang Dezu for advice? These things are recorded in the Shangshu."

"They are studying Shangshu of Jinwen, holding those articles, and they don't want to recognize a single word, let alone these old legends." Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wei, have you ever thought that there were no words when Yao, Shun and Yu, and all the stories were oral legends?"

Wei Teng shook his head, looked at him disdainfully, and did not even have the interest to refute.

Sun Ce smiled and continued, "Mr. Wei, don't forget that the characters have always been changing. Before Qin, the characters in the six countries were different. Which one did you say was created by Cangjie? There would be such a big difference in characters created by a man? According to common sense, Cangjie probably was not very reliable in creating characters, and it was not as credible as Shun's evading Danzhu."

Wei Teng pondered for a moment, turned to look at Sun Ce. "Although the general's words are rebellious, they make some sense. Apart from this, is there any evidence?"

"Mr. Wei believes in the nonsense of me, the martial artist?"

"I didn't believe it, but I might as well listen."

"Does Mr. Wei know the word "Saint"?"

Wei Teng snorted and ignored Sun Ce. After a while, he thought again. "The saint, the left ear and the right mouth, has a bit of a word of mouth. If this is true, the old legend may not be untrustworthy. At least it can make up for the shortcomings of the scriptures. The saint said that if the ritual is lost, it is the reason?"

He suddenly turned around, looked at Sun Ce, and said in a cold voice: "Is the general going to create prophecies and divination?"

Sun Ce was stunned and inexplicably. "What prophecy?"

"Is it not for the story of General Shun avoiding Danzhu? Isn't it that I want to use the past to describe the present? Although I have passed on the prophecies in my family, I am afraid that I can't help the general."

Looking at Wei Teng who was full of righteous indignation and ready to die generously at any time, Sun Ce suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing. Wei Teng was right, it sounded like a conspirator creating public opinion on his own conspiracy. Shun avoided Danzhu, and he avoided the court, using the past to describe the present. Isn't this the most common method? Unfortunately, Wei Teng didn't have this interest and refused in one whisper. Although he was pedantic, he had some backbone and courage. If he had been replaced by those literati with corrupt bodies, he was afraid that he would understand it and learn from it.

Of course, it may also be that his strength is limited, and Wei Teng doesn't want to be buried with him.

Sun Ce looked at Wei Teng with a smile. "If this is a prophecy, then does Yuan Shao's sentence "Seeing Wu Yuan is to stop, who is the house?" or is it from the Book of Songs, so it is more credible?"

Wei Teng wanted to speak but stopped. After a long time of confusion, he said earnestly: "General, although my father and son studied prophecies and divination, the prophecies and divination are not completely credible. The Wang Mang Rebellion has proved that the revolution of prophecies and divination will only bring disaster. When Gongsun Shu thought he was following the destiny of heaven, he fought with Emperor Guangwu for his heroism, and finally died and died. The general should learn from it, and he should not do anything wrong. I was foolish in the general's plan, Dou Rong could be effective, but Gongsun Shu could not be effective."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing out loud. "Two days ago, Mr. Lu asked me a similar question. Do you know how I answered him?"

Wei Teng shook his head. He knew that Lu Kang came and had communication with Sun Ce, but he was not Sun Ce's close minister, so he didn't know what they were talking about. Lu Kang was an old minister and a loyal and martyr, but Lu Yi was by Sun Ce's side, and he didn't know if Lu Kang would change his mind because of the future of the family. Such examples are not uncommon, and it can even be said to be countless.

Sun Ce roughly repeated his and Lu Kang's words, and finally looked at Wei Teng and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Wei Teng sighed. "If the general can keep his promise, this is a blessing for the world. Although I, Wei Teng, cannot be compared with Mr. Lu, is willing to work hard for the general and do my best to make Jiangdong's stability. But don't tell this story of Shun avoiding Danzhu in the future."

Sun Ce sighed. "I just wanted to talk to you a few words, but I didn't expect you to think so much. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know Shanyue? Can you introduce the situation to me?"
