Jiangling, the palace of the king of Chu, Liu Xiu was wearing a light autumn dress, with his hands behind his back, and was watching Liu An practice swords. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info** Liu An looked a little clumsy, and after dancing twice, the little wooden sword flew away, he glanced at Liu Xiu embarrassedly, pouted, and lowered his head in frustration.

"Very good, very good, the spirit fox moon worship just now is very good, but the strength is a little worse. An An will have to eat more in the future, so that he can grow his strength and the sword will not fly. Liu Xiu picked up the wooden sword with a smile, stuffed it into Liu An's hand again, touched his little head, and said with a smile: "An An, don't worry, the fool moves the mountain, and the merit is reluctant." There is no genius in this world, only hard-working people will succeed. You're only five years old, and you can practice such a good sword, which is much stronger than Daddy. When Daddy was your age, he was still playing with mud. ”

"Really? I also want to play with mud. Liu An's eyes lit up, and he excitedly tugged at Liu Xiu's sleeve: "But my mother said that the mud was dirty, so she didn't let me play." Daddy, can you play with me? ”

"Look, you're getting burned now?" Wang Chu glanced at Liu Xiu angrily and funny, and held a rhino horn grate in his hand to comb Liu He's hair. Liu He has been in the army for more than half a year, and there are a lot of fleas on his body and lice on his head. She was used to it, and she didn't take it seriously, she came back and slept with Wang Chu affectionately, and whispered all night, and when she got up the next day, Wang Chu was itching all over, and then she found out how dirty her daughter was, and hurriedly cleaned her up. While cleaning up, he blamed Liu Xiu. As soon as she reproached Liu Xiu, Liu He helped Daddy defend herself, saying that the Queen Mother now has fleas and lice like her, but she didn't say anything. Wang Chu didn't dare to say that the Queen Mother was not. I had to shut up, and now I heard that Liu Xiu was being pestered by Liu An to play with mud, and I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"No problem, Daddy has already prepared a lot of mud, let you have enough fun when the time comes." Liu Xiu was not in a hurry at all, he held Liu An's little hand and gestured: "However." Now is the time to practice the sword, you must concentrate on doing things, and the sword is practiced well. If you want to play with mud again, can you? ”

"Good!" Liu An jumped up excitedly and hugged Liu Xiu's neck. kissed hard: "Daddy, you're the best, I'll listen to you." Then he raised his sword in a serious manner and made a gesture.

Wang Chu on the stairs was stunned, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This stinky boy, I have taught him for so long, and I have never heard him be so obedient, I will say one word, he will say three words." Why did your father change as soon as he came back? ”

"Hee-hee, that's Daddy's good teaching." Liu He snickered.

"Then I can't teach well?" Wang Chu feigned anger.

"Well, of course not." Liu He hurriedly hugged Wang Chu's waist and said with a flattering smile: "But." You guys have some differences, too. How to say it. Liu He thought about it, and suddenly smiled happily: "Mother, you are a Confucian, with square rules and meticulousness. Daddy is a Taoist, let it be. ”

"What kind of Confucianism and Taoism, you just say that your mother is not good at talking. Your father is easy to talk to, just spoil you. Wang Chu couldn't help laughing, and gently knocked Liu He's head with the grate in his hand: "In the future, when a few of you go out, you will be laughed at for not knowing the rules and losing the face of the Chu Palace, see how you still go with the flow." ”

"Hee-hee, three generations have different rites, and five generations have different laws. Etiquette is set by people, why bother to be too stubborn, as long as there is a filial piety and friendship in the heart, it is natural to be natural, even if there is no etiquette, I think others will not mind too much. ”

"What does that Zigong say about his sheep, and the master loves his courtesy?" Wang Chu immediately retorted.

Liu He replied: "The master also said that worshipping the gods is like a god. If the heart is not sincere, even if the etiquette is thorough, what is the use? ”

"Hey, you've been following your dad for half a year, and you're getting sharper and sharper." Wang Chu smiled in surprise: "Mr. Cai taught you the Analects in the first place, did you teach it like this?" Explain so arbitrarily and don't follow the teacher's law, aren't you afraid that Mr. Cai will be angry? ”

Liu He stuck out his tongue: "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more." ”

"What teacher, what truth?" Wang Chu was confused. "Which classic is this?"

Liu He covered his mouth and laughed: "Mother, you are outdated, this is what my father taught, but it is not in any classic." She explained this sentence again, Wang Chu listened, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is it wrong for the father and son to be hidden, and the son to be hidden for the father?" ”

"That's right."

"If the father is wrong, will the son contradict the father?"

"Of course, it's just not in front of everyone." Liu He calmly explained: "The father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, but he just said that he would not expose it, but he did not help cover it up." Wrong is wrong, right is right, is the father wrong, and the son still has to give perjury to prove that the father is right? Isn't that a mistake on top of a mistake? ”

Wang Chu was dumbfounded, she turned around, looked at Liu He with a proud face in surprise, and laughed for a long time, pinching Liu He's little face affectionately: "Ah He, it seems that I have followed your father for more than half a year, and there are more than fleas and lice on my body." This little brain is much more flexible, not as stupid as before. ”

"Was I stupid before?" Liu He flattened his mouth aggrievedly.

"Haha, I didn't think it at first, but compared to you now, I was really a little stupid before."

"Mother, are you praising me?"

"yes, aren't you proud?"

"Hahaha...... I'm really proud, alas. Liu He turned around and hugged Wang Chu's waist, buried his face in Wang Chu's chest, rubbed it vigorously, and was overjoyed: "Mother, you have never praised me before." ”

Wang Chu hugged Liu He lovingly, smiling. "Silly girl, what mother doesn't want her child to be good, but how can she talk about it every day, in that case, you can't go to the sky with your tail cocked. Now that you've grown up, you can't be too complacent. The sages have said that if you are full of losses, you will benefit from humbleness. ”

Liu He nodded embarrassedly, and the mother and daughter laughed.

There was a whirl in the sky, and a sturdy eagle folded its wings and landed under the ridge. Liu Xiu raised his head and glanced at it, the smile on his face disappeared, and he withdrew his gaze again. After a short time, Guo Jia walked out of the backyard quickly, and when he saw this harmonious scene, he couldn't help laughing, and his steps became calm. Liu Xiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "What's the news?" ”

"Well, news from Luoyang." Guo Jia handed a two-finger-wide note to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu unfolded it and looked at it, and laughed softly: "Yuan Shao was really scared, he actually escaped so fast?" ”

"It's just a frightened bird." Guo Jia pursed his lips contemptuously, and naturally used an allusion he heard from Liu Xiu. "Yuan Shao has been scared like this, the battle of Jizhou should not be difficult, do you want to add some condiments?"

"There's no hurry. Although the whetstone is not hard enough, the knife ......" Liu Xiu let out a long sigh: "It's not a good material." Enough is enough, let it be. ”

"General, you can't say that." Guo Jia shook his head resolutely: "This is not only about him, but also about whether the general's new policy can be implemented." If the family of Jizhou does not suffer heavy losses, after recovering Jizhou in the future, Jizhou will still be a half-baked cake. If Jizhou can't be implemented smoothly, won't the forces in other states that are still waiting and see take advantage of the situation? General, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, this is not the time for a woman's kindness. ”

Liu Xiu frowned lightly and was silent for a long time: "But I really don't want to see too much blood, the water is flowing and the corpses are all over the field......"

"General, the chaos in one state is better than the chaos in the world?" Guo Jia unceremoniously interrupted Liu Xiu's words: "If the general wants to make a hundred generations of merit and build peace for all generations, he can't leave a curse." When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. General, the world has been decided, only Jizhou is left, and the general can't waste such a feat because of a momentary benevolence. ”

"Eternal peace?" Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no eternal peace in this world. Qin Shi Huang wanted to pass on the eternal life, but he died in the second generation. I don't have the courage of him, I don't dare to hope for any eternal peace, I just want to do my best. ”

"Those who know people are wise, and those who know are clear." Guo Jia responded: "The general can still maintain such a state of mind at the moment. The minister was deeply impressed. But the arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. The general must not hesitate, otherwise, he is afraid that all his efforts will come to naught. ”

Liu Xiu turned his head and looked at Guo Jia. Guo Xi's eyes were a little anxious, but he was very firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, that's what the minister thinks. He believed that all the soldiers who fought with the general, as well as those officials who were trying to raise military rations and supplies, would think the same way, and the minister also believed that the people who benefited from the new policy would also think the same way. Generals, giving people benefits, taking advantage of people, these people have become accustomed to the interests of the general's new policy, if anyone wants to overthrow the new policy and turn them into nothing again, I believe that the second and third horns will soon appear. Guo Jia said earnestly: "General, since you have already led them on the road, how can you watch them fall back into dire straits?" ”

"Is it that serious?" Liu Xiu frowned and laughed: "You are exaggerating. ”

"General, I'm not exaggerating at all. The general is familiar with history and should know this better than me. Guo Jia bowed and bowed: "Please make a living for the general, don't hesitate any longer." ”

Liu Xiu was speechless for a long time. Liu An had already finished practicing a sword, but he just saw that his father and Guo Jia were talking, his father was confused, Guo Jia looked cautious, knowing that they were talking about important matters, so he didn't dare to step forward and interject, but he held the wooden sword, bit his fingers, and looked at Liu Xiu timidly.

Guo Jia's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "General, the New Year is coming soon, shouldn't you also invite the eldest princess and Ye Wangsun to Jiangling for a reunion?" Ye Wang Sun is already five years old, and after the New Year, it is time to enlighten. At this time, lay a good foundation, and there will be no regrets in the future. ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a long time and sighed: "It's okay." Let Li Ru sit in Chengdu today, and let Mr. Gongxiao come back with the eldest princess. ”

"Whoa." Guo Jia was overjoyed, he knew that Yan Zhong's attitude was even more resolute than him, and Liu Xiu asked him to come back, he must have made some decisions, and it was the decision he hoped for. rq
