In the past, I always heard people say that "it's too cold in a high place", and Gao Ye felt that this was just a kind of show-off for people standing in high places. Who doesn't want to climb to the top of the mountain, but how many people can really go up? Less than the top is more than the bottom, which is often the mentality of the vast majority of living people. Gao Ye in his previous life was just an ordinary student who came out of the education assembly line, envying the success of the successful on the one hand, and despising the failure of the loser on the other. tried his best to occupy a place in this world, but in the end, he was sent back to the Han by this thief. Or maybe God knows that if a person like Gao Ye wants to succeed and become the top of the mountain, it can only be possible to go back to the past.

But today's high night really understands what it means to be high and low. "The Book of Songs" cloud "The people of Qian'er, be cautious, and use the precepts"; "Guanzi" said, "The beginning of the husband and the overlord is also people-oriented." The principle is that the country is solid, and the chaos is the national danger"; Mencius said, "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." Although China's people-oriented thought has been formed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it still cannot escape the four words of monarch and minister. Kings are born to be herdsmen, and the people are born to be led by kings, which is the basis of China's 5,000 years of feudal rule. For the ordinary people of ancient China, in addition to the devastation of war, the change of dynasty among the Han people was nothing more than who became the new emperor. But there must be an emperor, after all, the country cannot be without a king for a day!

If the rulers of this era heard the word Ming Lord, Gao Ye felt that they would probably spend the rest of their lives in fear. Because that's how High Night feels right now! How wonderful the word democracy sounds, but how terrifying it should be in this era? In an era when the nation's literacy rate is not even half of the country's, democracy will only allow ignorance to prevail over civilization, and it will only make the world more chaotic.

As an ordinary person, in order to gain more right to speak, Gao Ye felt that he would definitely support democracy. But today's Gao Ye official is Situ, with a high position of power, and democracy may be the last word Gao Ye wants to hear. It's tiring enough to deal with a group of families by himself, and then involve these outrageous ordinary people with low education levels, Gao Ye feels that reform is no longer a thing, and it is more important to think about how to be alone.

When a person is in a daze, he will always think about something that he has not, and he thinks about democracy before the world is calm, and when he looks back, he really feels like a fool's dream. It's just that when brainstorming, I often can't feel the passage of time, and when I come back to my senses, I find that the moon has set in the west.

After a sleepless night, he finally fell asleep in the carriage, which made Cao Zhi, who wanted to hear the story, a little disappointed. Speaking of which, Gao Ye really rarely rides in a carriage, and for Gao Ye, this kind of carriage that is extremely bumpy on the flat road is really not as comfortable as riding a horse. If it weren't for the sleepless night last night, Gao Ye would never have followed Cai Yan's wishes and lay in the carriage to make up for sleep.

The big exam of the academy has ended, and the entire academy has officially entered the holiday, and the students who are close to home have hurried back home, and those who are far away can only celebrate the New Year in the academy. Fortunately, with great Confucians such as Zheng Xuan and Hu Zhao in the academy, I don't think I will be lonely this year.

The academy has already taken a holiday, Gao Ye naturally will no longer rely on the academy to not leave, after all, the New Year is the top priority of the Chinese, Gao Ye is also a big family, and the New Year is even more busy. Not to mention that the shopkeepers from all over the country have to come back to Yingdu to get together and talk about the achievements of the year; Not to mention that the guests come to visit the New Year, whether it is to talk about relatives and friendships, or to flatter, they always have to go away with people; Just talking about ancestor worship is enough to be busy at night.

The Chinese's reverence for their ancestors can be said to be unparalleled in the world, which is reflected in Chinese mythology. The gods of the West are gods, just like the sun and the moon. The biggest difference between China's god system and the West is that the gods that Chinese believe in are all our ancestors. They either have proud achievements, or they have left a blessing to their descendants, and they have been mythologized as gods.

In this context, ancestor worship will naturally become the most important ritual in the hearts of Chinese. Gao Ye only needs to worship the ancestors, and the whole house is already busy, and people like Liu Xie who still need to worship the heavens can only be said to be even busier. No way, who made him the Son of Heaven, the whole Heaven is the ancestor of his family?

However, Gao Ye is too lazy to take care of the affairs in the palace, who is the most unhappy in Guandu Dasheng, Yuan Shao ranks first, then Liu Xie has to be ranked second. I thought it was a snipe and a clam fighting, but I didn't expect it to become a tiger into the flock. Liu Xie, who originally wanted to make a profit for the fisherman, could only face Cao Cao's coercion at this moment and could not make a sound. For an emperor, this may be the most painful thing, even Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, who visited the next head, can feel the strong anger in Liu Xie's heart. After finishing the funeral, he shrunk his neck and didn't say a word, for fear of becoming Liu Xie's punching bag.

It's a pity that Liu Xie can only play to the point and vent the resentment in his heart. One is angry that Cao Cao has no king, and he has monopolized power, and the other is also angry with Dong Cheng. After all, the edict has been in Dong Cheng's hands for more than a year, but until now Dong Cheng has not made any moves, which makes Liu Xie quite annoyed. When Yuan Shao invaded, Cao Cao was not there, and Gao Ye was not there, which was a God-given opportunity, but he hinted several times, but Dong Cheng turned a blind eye. Is a Lu Bu and a Xun Yu really so terrible! Now that Cao Cao and Gao Ye are in Yingdu, they are afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Dong Cheng is incompetent to this point, does he really have to rely on Liu Bei who fled in the wilderness?

Liu Xie's indignation Dong Cheng saw it in his eyes, and he naturally understood it in his heart, but Dong Cheng also had words of suffering. To be honest, doesn't Dong Cheng want to kill Cao Cao? He dreamed of it, but it was so easy to kill Cao Cao. Liu Xie has always wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's absence to make changes, but Dong Cheng knew in his heart that when Cao Cao was not in Yingdu, it was the most dangerous time for his imperial party members. Although Xun Yu is very respectful to the emperor, for these people, Xun Yu will never be soft when he kills, especially at this critical moment of survival. It's not that Dong Cheng doesn't want to move, but he really doesn't dare to move. But how can these words be said to the emperor, the edict is a secret thing, you know and I know, is it possible that I can still cry in front of the emperor? Maybe if you haven't been beheaded by the emperor in a fit of anger after crying, you will also be beheaded by Xun Yu in a rage.

Fortunately, now that things have some eyebrows, the emperor can only scold him, and when the matter is completed, he can only show his merits in front of the emperor. When will you be able to bring down Cao Cao, when will you be able to hold power, and when will you be able to sit as the ruler of the country!

The last court meeting of the fifth year of Jian'an passed in Cao Cao's closed eyes, Dong Cheng's secret joy and Liu Xie's sullenness. In the end, after the emperor only announced that he was going to feast his ministers on the Shangyuan Festival, he hurried back to the harem and continued to pray that Liu Bei could give some strength to save himself from fire and water. As for Dong Cheng, Liu Xie had already rushed to despair. But Liu Bei has not been heard from since he disappeared from Yuan Shao's army, and Liu Xie is only worried that Liu Bei will die in the chaos, if this is the case, he can only rely on Dong Cheng.

It's just that at this moment, Gao Ye's worries are exactly the opposite of Liu Xie's. Liu Xiesheng was afraid that Liu Bei would die, but Gao Ye really hated Liu Bei for not dying. Li Zhu, who went to Jingzhou, finally returned a year ago, but none of the things he brought back were good news. Hearing this before the New Year really made Gao Ye have a premonition that the next year will not be smooth.

“…… We followed the instructions of the lord and went to Nanyang Wollongong to look for that Zhuge Liang, but to no avail. The people there hadn't even heard the name Zhuge Liang, and they didn't know that there were still people living in Longzhong. We asked there for several days, and finally we had some eyebrows, but according to the address they said, we couldn't find it. I think the person I want to find is not in Nanyang......"

"There's just one more thing that the lord might care about. When we traveled through Jingzhou, we found that the guards of Xinye City were quite strict, and there was a kind of fierce posture. Although we don't know what their intentions are, we feel that this matter must be guarded against, so we entered Xinye to investigate, and it was too late to come back. But I didn't expect to let us know a big news! Lord, do you guess who the new wild guard will be? ”

Gao Ye, who sat on the top and heard it, couldn't help frowning, for fear that what he was most worried about would still happen. At this time, Gao Ye changed his graceful and elegant past, stared at Li Zhu tightly and said: "Don't tell me that it is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who guard Xinye!" ”

"The lord sees thousands of miles!" Li Zhu praised as soon as he opened his mouth, not noticing Gao Ye's already shaky face at this time. "It's that Liu Bei Liu Xuande! Who would have thought that he would have quietly run from Hebei to the territory of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and became the Taishou of Xinye, and now there are probably no less than 20,000 soldiers in Xinye City......"

Gao Ye's sigh completely interrupted the man's words, and his frowning brows could almost set up a dish, which made Li Zhu feel surprised in his heart. Li Zhu has been following Gao Ye for a long time, and he has never seen Gao Ye melancholy like this, and it is already a very strange task for him to be sent to find Zhuge Liang this time, but he didn't expect that the unexpected news that Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye would actually make Gao Ye so depressed. Therefore, Li Zhu couldn't help asking: "Lord, that Liu Bei is just a lost dog, and now he is under the fence, what is there to worry about?" ”

Gao Ye shook his head and said, "How can Jin Lin be a thing in the pool, a dragon that changes when it encounters wind and clouds!" Liu Bei is not to be underestimated! Fortunately, he is still in a hurry, so he can only live in Xinye. Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the house, and Liu Bei will also guard against Liu Bei, and he can't afford any big waves now. Li Zhu, you go and keep an eye on me, as soon as the people who went to Xuzhou come back, they will immediately bring me to see me! If they can't find it...... Alas......"
