Gu's small courtyard.

After a few years, it came back again.

This time, the Gu family's small courtyard is not cluttered and dusty.

Clean, tidy, and dusty, as if it had just been tidied up.

Emperor Qizhi took the lead and said, "Every day, guards come to sweep the yard to ensure that the yard is tidy. Now that Mr. Gu has returned, he naturally can't let it be dusty again."

"I have a heart."

Gu Dan nodded lightly, and glanced at the scorching sun chrysanthemum by the wall.

Bright as fire, crystal as ice, the growth is more and more lovely.

Even the faint aroma in the courtyard has a faint special charm, and when the tip of the nose is lightly smelled, the mind becomes clearer and clearer.

But when I was outside the courtyard, I couldn't feel the special aroma that belonged to the scorching sun chrysanthemum.

In addition to the scorching sun chrysanthemum, only a willow tree left by the stone table added some color to the small courtyard.

It was a small willow tree reborn entirely from dead and dry trees, with slender and soft branches and emerald green veins, but not cluttered, but with a unique beauty.

However, the small willow tree does not look very large, and although it is born on a large willow tree that has dried up and died, it does not blend in with each other, and it is distinct from each other.

Vitality and death exist together on that "one and two" willow tree, which is enough to make people ponder for a long time, whether the deceased willow tree is reborn, or the dead willow tree gives new life to future generations.

It's also quite mysterious.

Gu Dan walked into the small courtyard of the Gu family, and Emperor Qizhi was one step behind.

It wasn't until the two of them walked in that the green cow, who followed Gu Dan, reluctantly squeezed into the small courtyard that was a little small for it.

However, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Qingniu's amber eyes instantly widened and slipped round!

"Mou~"

The green cow couldn't help but let out a roar, his nose twitched wildly, driving a large area of airflow, almost greedily sniffing the unique aroma in the Gu family's small courtyard.

When the huge eyes turned, I saw at a glance the scorching sun chrysanthemum that was left independent by the wall.

"Mou!!"

The green bull roared almost in shock, and the four hooves couldn't help but move towards the Burning Sun Tianju, and two thick white air currents erupted from his nose.

The blood is telling it, swallow that flower, swallow that flower!

As long as you can swallow that flower, it will be like a new life!

Where has it experienced this almost irresistible temptation?

Who doesn't get confused when they encounter it!

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful.

Before it could actually get closer, its entire body suddenly froze in place.

Not to mention moving his hooves, he couldn't even blink his eyelids.

"Be respectful, that's a senior, who is about two hundred years older than you, do you still want to go up and take a bite?"

Gu Dan scolded with a smile.

As his words fell, Lieyang Tianju seemed to feel a hint of threat.

The petals that were originally as sparkling as fire quickly converged, and then the scorching breath began to spread, and the faint fragrance in the original air instantly turned into a blazing breath, like the scorching sun blooming here.

A "hiss-la-hiss" sound suddenly came from the green ox's body, and the sword could hardly hurt a trace of its skin, losing a bit of luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a white mist rose.

The amber eyes of the green bull showed infinite horror.

Flowers are so powerful?!

But that's not all.

With the anger of the scorching sun celestial chrysanthemum, a branch on the thin willow tree suddenly bloomed with subtle brilliance, stretching out like a rope to tie up the green ox.

The willow branches, which should have been weak and immature, were extremely flexible and strong at this time, wrapping around the body of the green ox and slowly tightening.

There are two of them, and they can play together!

"Alright."

Gu Dan walked over, ignoring the blazing heat, and gently touched the petals of the Lieyang Tianju, and a trace of cyan luster flowed through it.

Of course, spirit strains can be lethal - even non-lethal spirit plants will attract guardian spirit beasts and benefit each other.

This scorching sun chrysanthemum had already been a little strange long before the drastic changes in heaven and earth, and it was also a beneficiary after the drastic changes in heaven and earth, and it was also nourished by the green wood liquid.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter from which point of view, it is quite unusual, and he also knows how to keep a little brother in captivity!

As a rising star, this green bull spirit beast wants to gnaw at the old-timers of two hundred years ago, which is really unreasonable.

If he doesn't stop him, he can eat roast beef for dinner today.

After being appeased by Gu Dan, the petals of the scorching sun chrysanthemum gently rubbed on Gu Dan's fingers, and the original fiery breath gradually disappeared, and the faint fragrance spread all over the Gu family's courtyard again.

The willow tree was even more obedient, and the outstretched willow branch was instantly retracted, as if nothing had happened.

Emperor Qizhi was really stunned on the side.

As the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, what did he not see?

He really hadn't seen this before!

Although there will be various "auspicious" news from time to time in various parts of the Xia Dynasty now, it is really the only scorpion baba that is so powerful that it is auspicious!

Today is an eye-opener.

It seems that those auspicious rui are far from being as easy to get as he thought, and they really can't be used as crops, and they are like drawing a circle to occupy a piece of land and count it as their own.

"Mr. Gu, these two strange things...... It looks remarkable!"

Emperor Qizhi made no secret of the shock on his face.

He has seen a lot of grandmasters who can fight, and the plants that take the initiative to attack - this has only existed in the script before.

Thinking about the cultivators that the Xia Dynasty had secretly cultivated, the more outstanding ones were only at the first level of Qi cultivation.

Previously, he was quite happy, what happened to the first layer of Qi training?

The first layer of Qi cultivation is also cultivating immortals!

Compare the surrounding countries, and even look at the whole world.

Xia Chao also had the confidence to say those four words:

Ahead!

It's just that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

The monks that the Xia Dynasty is cultivating now don't even seem to be able to beat the plants in the Gu family's small courtyard.

No, not as if it were, but definitely.

This undoubtedly extinguished the excitement in Emperor Qizhi's heart, and he originally wanted to brag about it with Mr. Gu.

As a result, this good news does not need to be exported at all, the plants in the other party's yard are so miraculous!

Also, don't look at the people who came out of the Gu family's courtyard!

Moqiu, after going out of the Gu family's courtyard, established the Mo family.

Xun Ke established Confucianism after going out of the Gu family's courtyard.

Even his ancestor, the founding emperor Wang Mang, went out from the Gu family's courtyard!

The businessman who was not fortunate enough to live in the Gu family's courtyard was also assigned by Mr. Gu back then, so that he could apprentice with Xun Ke and finally found the Legalist.

How can the vision of such a person be measured by ordinary people?

Even the plants in the Gu family's courtyard are more powerful than the outside, which is normal!

There is nothing difficult to understand, who let the other party be Mr. Gu?

Whether it is the ancestors or Emperor Qizhi who once questioned Gu Dan's past decisions, he is now absolutely happy and sincere to Gu Dan, and he can't be convinced.

"There are many extraordinary things, so be in awe."

Gu Dan said disappreciatively.

After all, he is also the person who has come into contact with the White Lotus Venerable, and his eyes must be opened.

With what he has achieved today, it is not enough to be praised.

Always have the heart of an apprentice, until there is nothing to learn, and then re-measure himself, is what he has to grasp.

"However, it is precisely because of this that I am also worried, and I ask Mr. Gu to clarify my doubts."

Emperor Qizhi's face

Yizheng, said seriously.

"Tell me."

Returning to the stone table in the courtyard and sitting down, Gu Dan said quite casually.

"Under the drastic changes in heaven and earth, as you said, the aura has already appeared, and it is bound to have an unimaginable impact on the mundane, and now there is an omen."

After his gaze swept over the scorching sun celestial chrysanthemum and the willow tree in the courtyard again, Emperor Qizhi said, "Under this change, how will the Xia Dynasty respond?"

The problem is huge.

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out.

Even Shang avoided talking about it.

He could only turn to Mr. Gu for help, hoping to get instructions to re-plan the direction of the Xia Dynasty under the current situation.

"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth."

Gu Dan said quite simply.

Emperor Qizhi nodded again and again, blinking his eyes at Gu Dan.

Until I found that Gu Dan seemed to have finished speaking-I didn't wait for the next sentence for a long time.

Although it was not good to question Mr. Gu, Emperor Qizhi couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?"

"Or else?"

Gu Dan asked rhetorically, "Do you want to get an answer from me that can perfectly suit the Xia Dynasty and will never change?"

If I can do it, why did the Xia Dynasty still have Mohists, Confucianists, and Legalists?

Times change, and so does the environment.

At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, one poor and two white, the people's livelihood was poor, the people were torn by the war, and they hated the war, so the Mo family was in full swing, which made people yearn for it.

It was not until decades later that the Xia Dynasty flourished under Wang Mang's rule, and the people who were devastated by the war at the beginning and the people who had really experienced the war gradually passed away.

At that time, the Mohists had already begun to be disliked, and the Mohists were considered to be too 'conformist', although the term was originally a good reputation.

Xun Ke saw this, so he founded Confucianism and promoted benevolence and righteousness - the Xia Dynasty at that time was no longer a ruined country, but a rising Xia Dynasty.

The surrounding countries will no longer focus on the Xia Dynasty, but will worry about the Xia Dynasty finding trouble for them, so the Mo family seems a little out of place.

The powerful Xia Dynasty then acted according to the Ten Principles of the Mohists, but it would hinder its own development. So at that critical juncture, Xun Ke replaced ink with Confucianism and successfully changed the direction of the Xia Dynasty.

There is no doubt that Confucianism at that time was more suitable for the Xia Dynasty than the Mohists.

No one forced the Moshi to leave, and no one forced the birds to travel around the world, but ...... The Xia Dynasty is no longer suitable soil for the Mo family.

In other places, the Mo family can play a greater value, that's all.

And by the time your father, Emperor Chengping, took over, the Xia Dynasty was already very prosperous.

Confucianism took the place of the ink scholar and became the mainstream. Decades of recuperation have also allowed the Xia Dynasty to grow, and even a group of powerful people. Righteousness began to become a sharp blade in their hands for their benefit.

Both the Mohists and Confucians are too benevolent in this regard, and it is easy to lose their tails.

Then Shang saw this.

Later, he founded Legalism - I don't need to tell you about this anymore, do I?

What happened after that, you should be very clear.

If the Xia Dynasty is a carriage, then the Mohists are the ones who created the carriages, the Confucians are the ones who drive the carriages forward, and the Legalists are the ones who put the reins on the carriages."

After saying a very long sentence in one breath, Gu Dan admonished, "As the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, you can't just look at it for a while.

Don't ask me what I should do, but see what the Xia Dynasty needs you to do.

Different periods, different situations, and naturally different things are needed.

Adapting measures to local conditions and changing with the times is an unbreakable truth.

Where is there anything that can be done once and for all?

Could it be that if we are pursuing Legalism today, we will not have Confucianism and Mohism

Does it make sense?

Do you still want to ask, why didn't you just admire Legalism in the first place and jump to today in one go?"

Emperor Qizhi was speechless for a while.

This kind of thinking that is out of the times is what he lacks.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed.

Perhaps it is precisely because Gu Dan is so heavy in the Xia Dynasty that as long as he is in the Xia Dynasty, the decision-makers of the Xia Dynasty feel that they still have a backer.

With a backer, it is inevitable to want to take advantage of it.

But unfortunately, there is no shortcut to this kind of thing.

Gu Dan also couldn't have predicted what would happen after that.

At the fork in the road of times, everyone is in the fog.

For this level of big changes, anyone is just a wave in the river, and only when the waves condense and form a huge wave that sweeps the heavens and the earth, can it be possible to influence the general trend and even soar.

If he can help Xia Chao take two steps faster, it is already the limit of what he can do.

"I see, it's me who is too greedy."

Emperor Qizhi smiled bitterly, his face immediately became serious, and said, "I will definitely do my best to see the road ahead, so that the Xia Dynasty can choose the right direction again."

"That's your business."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, but his gaze was looking at the depths of the heavenly dome, which even if it was the Heavenly Eye Vision, it was impossible to see clearly, "Maybe this time, it is not our turn to choose the direction."

It's like a Jedi Skypass.

It's like the upheaval of heaven and earth before.

Sometimes, a lot of things don't even have their turn to choose, and they are already smashed on the head.

Whether you want to or don't want to, you can only go with the flow.

The strength of the Xia Dynasty will give the Xia Dynasty more opportunities, but it does not mean that it will stand forever.

"No matter what, the Xia Dynasty will definitely become more and more powerful!"

Even Gu Dan felt a trace of helplessness, but Emperor Qizhi said with extra confidence.

Even more confident than Gu Dan.

In him, the spirit of an emperor finally emerged, such an unquestionable tone, as if the king had given orders to heaven and earth.

It doesn't matter if you sit in a well and watch the sky, or if you're a newborn calf.

This emperor of the Xia Dynasty is not a heartless person after all.

He was sure that the Xia Dynasty would not fall behind in the new era, and even continue to climb upward.

Because in the Xia Dynasty, there were always outstanding people who were willing to open up the way forward, and worked tirelessly to guide the way forward.

"Okay."

Gu Dan laughed heartily, and repeated in an affirmative tone, "The Xia Dynasty will definitely become stronger and stronger."
