Can I get to the other side?

Since Guo Jia was able to ask this question, it meant that he had heard all the conversations between Liu Xie and Zhang He.

So Liu Xie doesn't plan to continue pretending to be stupid now.

Because if Guo Jia was really sent by Yuan Shao, then no matter how hard he struggled now, it would be pointless, as it would lead to a dead end.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said, "I did not come here under Yuan Shao's order, and I have never told anyone else about this."

"Today I came to see His Majesty. I just wanted to ask Your Majesty face to face what you meant by what you said."

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this: "You didn't tell Yuan Shao?"

Guo Jia asked: "Why should I tell Yuan Shao?"

Liu Xie opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

It is true that Yuan Shao does not value Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also looks down on Yuan Shao. In this case, Guo Jia really has no need to inform Yuan Shao.

So this guy came here today really just to ask questions?

Seemingly sensing what Liu Xie was thinking, Guo Jia put down the teacup in his hand and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and now he is under the control of others. He wants to wait for an opportunity to regain the Han Dynasty. This is my great fortune. Although I have not received the salary of the Han Dynasty, He is also a Han Chinese, how could he do such a villainous thing as informing on someone?"

"I came here today just to satisfy my curiosity."

Guo Jia's idea is indeed very simple.

He was just curious.

In the eyes of outsiders, an emperor who was useless and submissive actually had a lot of beauty in his heart and had a lofty ambition to restore the Han Dynasty.

Is this the true face of this great emperor?

Guo Jia found it very interesting.

After Liu Xie heard these words, he finally gave up his worries. A big stone suddenly fell to the ground, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"Did you scare me on purpose?"

Liu Xie was dumbfounded. When he realized what he was doing, he wanted to give Guo Jia a beating.

Why does this guy deserve a beating so much!

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, sir... what is this?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Xie dropping a dark object on the ground. When he looked closely, he saw that it was a dagger.

"Dagger, haven't you seen it?"

Liu Xie snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "I almost killed you just now!"

Just a little bit, he took action.

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment. He looked at the dagger with cold light on the ground, his heart filled with awe, and then he felt a chill running down his spine.

He didn't expect that one of his tests would almost cost him his life.

This Your Majesty...

Guo Jia took a deep look at Liu Xie and realized that he still underestimated this powerful emperor. He was far more terrifying than he looked on the outside.

How insecure is it to carry a dagger with you?

"Then why didn't Your Majesty take action? In the situation just now, killing me was the best choice, right?"

Guo Jia raised his own questions.

He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If he were Liu Xie, he would definitely have chosen to kill someone just now, or take him hostage.

But Liu Xie did not do this, but had a showdown with him.

Liu Xie curled his lips and said, "If you are sent by Yuan Shao, then what's the use of killing you? I still can't escape Yecheng."

"Instead of dragging an innocent person on his back, it would be better to die in a dignified way and not insult my status as emperor."

In fact, in addition to these two points, there is one more thing Liu Xie did not mention.

That means he can't do it.

There are no firearms in this era. Killing someone is not as simple as pulling the trigger, but actually stabbing the knife into someone's heart.

Even if it was to survive, Liu Xie still couldn't do this.

Maybe this is the so-called benevolence of women, but what can be done? He is just a poor college student who traveled through time and space, and he has never even killed a chicken, let alone a human being.

"Your Majesty, I am really surprised."

Guo Jia sighed and said that he was already sure that the emperor in front of him was no ordinary person. He had been hiding his capabilities and biding his time before.

He actually deceived everyone.

"Okay, I don't want to answer any of your questions now, so hurry up and leave. Don't disturb me while I'm fishing."

Liu Xie rushed away impatiently.

Since Guo Jia didn't plan to report him, it would be fine. After what happened just now, he had given up the idea of ​​subduing Guo Jia.

Because he discovered that not only was this guy a bit sinister, but his brain circuit was not normal. When he heard that he wanted to kill someone, not only was he not afraid, but he was actually chatting with him here with great interest?

"good."

When Guo Jia heard this, he stood up and saluted, saying, "I will take my leave now. I will come back to see your Majesty another day."

"you……"

Liu Xie only felt that he was hardened and his fist was hardened.

One visit is not enough, you have to keep coming in the future, right?

So he had to call Guo Jia quickly.

"Stay! I tell you!"

Forced by helplessness, Liu Xie could only choose to compromise with Guo Jia.

He didn't want to be pestered by this guy every day in the future.

"I am all ears."

Guo Jia stood up straight and spoke seriously, ready to listen carefully.

Liu Xie held the fishing rod in his hand, turned his back to Guo Jia, and said calmly: "Mencius once said: The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least."

"I ask you, Jiangshan Sheji, what is Jiangshan Sheji?"

Liu Xie in turn asked Guo Jia questions.

This question was too simple, and Guo Jia answered without hesitation: "The country refers to the country, and the country refers to the people's livelihood. This is the country."

Liu Xie continued to ask: "So for the king, which is more important, the country or the society?"

Guo Jia frowned, this question is much more difficult than the previous one.

Since ancient times, the country and the society have been on par with each other, and they are the same concept. If you really want to talk about which one is more important, it is really difficult to choose.

"Your Majesty, please help me solve my doubts."

Liu Xie said: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world; those who lose the hearts of the people will perish; Shang Zhou and the tyrannical Qin are both precedents."

"The mountains and rivers are forever, and time cannot destroy them; but once the society is lost, the country will be destroyed and the dynasty will perish. This is an eternal truth."

"The country and the society have never been two separate things, but countless people throughout the ages have misunderstood, thinking that the country is the country and the dynasty; the society is the people, which is actually a big mistake. ”

“Xunzi said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.”

“I think this sentence should be explained like this: The boat is compared to the monarch, and the water is compared to the people. The boat uses the power of water to break through the waves. Water can exist without the boat, but the boat cannot exist without water.”

“The people are still the people without the monarch; how can the monarch be called the monarch without the people? Even if there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it is nothing but a dead end.”

“So the monarch’s real country is the people, not the country!”

Liu Xie quoted classics and told the story.

This article on the country and the people was a topic that his mentor had assigned to him. He spent a long time writing it, and he knew all the contents by heart.

Behind him, Guo Jia had already been stunned.
