Maybe because of their similar personalities, Sun Ce and Guo Jia have a tacit understanding that surpasses others, but this time they didn't get a response, somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it a little, they were relieved.

Confucianism flourished in the Han Dynasty, no matter which school the reader is, Confucianism is to be contacted, "Analects" and "The Book of Filial Piety" are introductory subjects, and then go deeper to read the scriptures, "Spring and Autumn" has an unimaginable influence in the Han Dynasty society, even if people who have not read "Spring and Autumn" are difficult to escape the restrictions of its ethical rules.

However, the foundation of Confucianism lies in human ethics, from father to son to monarch and minister, father and son first, monarch and minister later. When Confucius established Confucianism, it was still the Spring and Autumn Period, and although there was a co-ruler of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, it was fundamentally different from the emperors of later generations. The so-called monarch is not my monarch, the minister's minister is not my minister, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is relatively loose, the combination is the monarch and the minister, and the disagreement is Kou Yan, as long as the procedure is just, no one will have any opinions. Father and son are different, this is an innate blood relationship, which cannot be changed, and takes precedence over the relationship between the monarch and the minister. Therefore, Wu Zixu took revenge, and the world condemned him only for digging up the grave and whipping the corpse, instead of leading Wu to Chu, the reason is very simple, King Chuping was at fault first, and Wu Zixu avenged his father and brother, which is justified.

The Han Dynasty adhered to the legacy and believed that father and son were ahead of the monarch and ministers, filial piety was first, and loyalty was last, although the monarch's power had been stabilized for practical interests, but at least morally, the relationship between father and son still took precedence over the relationship between monarchs and ministers. Later, when Cao Pi asked the ministers that the monarch's father was seriously ill and only had one pill of life-saving medicine, should he save the monarch or save his father, Bing Yuan did not hesitate to say bluntly to save his father, and Cao Pi could only express his approval.

How to interpret this story, the statements are different, but at the recognized moral level, there is no doubt that father and son precede monarchs and ministers, so Guo Jia answered so directly, and did not treat Sun Ce's words as a joke. In fact, this matter cannot be taken as a joke, no matter what you think in private, in front of the public, you still have to respect public opinion.

Sun Ce originally didn't have any sense of monarchy, at best, he felt that he was a small boss and a contractor, and he didn't expect others to abandon filial piety for loyalty, and his attitude towards Guo Jia was not only not disgusted, but felt precious.

"What Feng Xiao said is very true, but I lost my words for a while."

Guo Jia's color softened a little, but he still reminded: "The general is high and powerful, and his words and deeds are all in the spotlight, so he should be cautious." ”

Sun Ce laughed. Yes, if you're not careful, you're in the limelight. It's just that he is a little unaccustomed to it, such words are normal for Zhang Hong, but they are somewhat surprised when they come out of Guo Jia's mouth. It seems that this matter really should not be underestimated, otherwise Guo Jia would not be so serious.

When Sun Ce reflected on himself, the Guan family father and son were already crying. Guan Yi was overly sad, prematurely decrepit, and his eyesight was not good, so he looked at Guan Yu's face again and again, and said happily: "Changsheng'er, I heard that you are a general?" My father likes it very much, and I have already put incense in front of my ancestors, told my ancestors, and told them that you have won glory for the Guan family. ”

Guan Yu's loud cry suddenly stopped, and he looked at Guan Yi with a weak heart. "Father, you ...... Listen to whom? ”

"General Sun, that very young General Sun." Guan Yi was very relieved and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder. "He is so young, and he doesn't study, he can be a general, my son is so majestic, and he knows "Spring and Autumn", so he naturally does it."

Guan Yu's face was red when he landed, but fortunately, his face was already red, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention. He turned his head to look at Sun Ce, only to find that Liu Bei was thrown to the ground by him, and his face changed color in pain, but Sun Ce stood aside with a smile and watched the excitement, annoyed in his heart, and helped Guan Yi to walk in front of Liu Bei and introduce him solemnly. Hearing that it was Guan Yu's father, Liu Bei hurriedly saluted.

Guan Yi leaned in front of Liu Bei and looked at it, and said: "Since you are the king of my son's immortality, dare to ask what position you hold?" Changsheng is a general, and he must be a bigger general. ”

"Huh? Ahh Liu Bei couldn't cry or laugh. He is not a general now, he is not even a military commander, he is just an ordinary pawn.

Guan Yu gritted his teeth, walked up to Sun Ce, arched his hands, gritted his teeth, and cut his teeth. "Thank you, General."

Sun Ce accepted it calmly. "Yun Chang, as the saying goes, if you stand at thirty, you should also start a family. Ling Zun is old, even if you can't let him see your ancestors, you can't let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, look at the Guan family. Be careful in the future, don't be brave, maybe one day you can really command 10,000 people and be the general of an army. ”

Guan Yu took a breath and slowly spit it out, his color unconsciously a little more respectful. He was like a broken chime and made a great salute.

"Thank you, General."

Seeing Guan Yu bending over, slowly retreating a few steps before turning to leave, with a rare meek expression, Guo Jia secretly picked his thumb. "The general's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle is well used."

Sun Ce rubbed his hands. "It's a pity that I can't go to Zhuo County for the time being, otherwise it would be interesting to bring Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's families here."

——

Back in Luoyang, Sun Ce came to Taiwei's Mansion and prepared to hand over to Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun is not in the front hall, but in the backyard, and in the inner room, the guard said that the captain is sick, and he doesn't know when he will get better. Sun Ce was in a hurry to return to Yuzhou, and he didn't have time to stay in Luoyang longer, so he pushed away the guards and broke directly into the backyard.

The backyard was deserted, and there was not even a single figure in sight, Sun Ce quickly walked to the ward, and Wen Yuncai, who heard the sound of footsteps, hurried out and blocked Sun Ce's cloud road. "The lieutenant is unwell and cannot see visitors. If the general has anything to say, just give it to me. ”

After returning from Junyi, Zhu Jun couldn't afford to get sick. The old man was hit hard, and in a few days, it was like he was ten years old, and he was about to die. Sun Ce was very worried about this, if Zhu Jun was so angry, not only would he not be able to explain to Sun Jian, but the plan he had been planning for a long time would also be in vain.

"You?" Sun Ce smiled. "Wen Zhongliu, it's not that I look down on you, there are some things that you can do for you, and there are some things that you really can't afford to bear."

Wen Yun smiled politely. "The general is right, I also know that my ability is limited, but the captain has orders, and I can't disobey them."

"If I can save the captain, you will stop me too? Then I'll go, if the captain has three long and two short, don't blame me for turning my face. ”

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Wen Yun didn't dare to let him go, so he hurriedly rushed to him, opened his arms to stop him, and said with a wry smile: "General, if you really have a good way to make the Taiwei stand up, I will admit it even if I am scolded by the Taiwei." But what ...... about you?"

Wen Yun looked at Sun Ce very confused. He is not stupid, at least half of the reason why Zhu Jun fell ill was because of Sun Ce, and if Sun Ce was asked to talk nonsense, he might directly make Zhu Jun angry to death.

"Don't worry, I'm really going to the captain to death, and my father can't beat me to death?"

Sun Ce patted Wen Yun on the shoulder, turned around and entered the room. Wen Yun didn't stop it, and he didn't stop it, so he had to stand at the door, looking at Zhu Jun with a bitter face. Zhu Jun lay on the bed, waved his hand, and motioned for Wen Yun to retreat. Wen Yun sent someone to bring tea, covered the door, and stood quietly outside the door.

"Say it." Zhu Jun closed his eyes and didn't even want to look at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry, he sat down in front of the sickbed and tidied up his clothes slowly. "Zhu Gong, I'm going back to Yuzhou soon. Before leaving, I have a few words to say to you. However, before I say these words, I would like to ask Zhu Gong to tell me why the imperial court suddenly canceled King Qin. ”
