Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2213 Worrying

  Worry, whether it is necessary or unnecessary, will always be generated inadvertently, and then it will occupy someone's mind at some point.

  There are people in the state of Qi, who worry about the collapse of the world, those who are sent by death, and those who waste sleep and food.

   Worrying about the collapse of the world, I can't help myself.

   Then someone went to persuade them, saying that if the sky collapsed, tall people would hold it up, and if the ground sank, short people would fill it in. If you are neither tall nor short, no one will care about you wherever you go.

  So he was overjoyed. Those who know it are also overjoyed.

  What if the "heaven and earth" that the people of the state of Qi are worried about is not the heaven and the earth in the superficial sense? The sky fell, those who were guiding high above fell down, the ground sank, the original homeland was destroyed, lost...

   Then someone told him that even if the world falls, you can still live well.

   Then the people of Qi State are happy.

  As long as I can live a good life, then what's the matter if the world collapses?

  Is this kind of person only found in Qi country?

  After dawn, the rain stopped.

  This round of the sun washed by the spring rain is extraordinarily beautiful, shining on the streets and alleys of Wu County, painting all the corners of the buildings, the blue tiles, gray walls and red pillars with a layer of beauty.

  Gu Yong sits in the small pavilion in the courtyard and reads a book in his hands. Occasionally, he will be attracted by the content of the book, or frown, or smile, or just drink with a sip of tea if he is neither sad nor happy.

  In fact, what Gu Yong holds is not a book of scriptures or biography, but some records of the past few days.

  Records about Lu Yi.

  Although there are only a few textual descriptions above, it outlines Lu Yi's movements during this period of time.

  Damn Lu Yi.

Lu Yi is Sun Quan's minion, responsible for picketing officials and impeaching lawbreakers. This position should be held by an upright person, but in the hands of someone like Lu Yi, it becomes purely for venting selfish desires and gaining benefits. way.

  During this period of time, Lu Yi obviously didn't do anything good.

   This kind of person is like a cockroach flying around. If you don’t slap it, it’s disgusting. If you slap it to death, it will splash a thick pulp, which is even more disgusting.

  So, the best way is to let others shoot him to death.

  Like acne growing on someone else's face, it looks the best.

   Red in white, yellow in red, so festive no matter how you look at it.

  …(╬￣dish￣)=○…

  Zhang Mansion.

  Zhang Wen felt that his smile was quite festive.

   Likeable.

   Walking out of the corridor, you will find a well-trimmed grassland. The gravel road in the grassland passes through a white wall, and you will find a small pond, swaying in the sun with water ripples all over the sky.

  In the wall deep in the courtyard, some singing voices mixed with silk and bamboo fluttered faintly. Zhang Wen knew that it was the singer at home who was practicing a new song.

   Greed is something that cannot be avoided or eradicated in human nature.

  The Zhang family was able to accumulate such a huge family business, of course it was not like some people said that they had no interest in money and had no concept of their own family property.

  However, the bigger the family business and the more enjoyment, the harder it is to let go.

Just like the beautiful Guliang is more and more easily tempted to use her beauty to make money, Zhang Wen, who grew up reading sage books, is also tempted by money and power, making him even more reluctant to part with these money and power. The more the merrier.

  The sage book eventually became a fig leaf to cover up his greed.

  Jiangdong, spring naturally comes earlier.

The buds on the branches poked their heads, and the world behind the white wall looked so clean and graceful. Zhang Wen walked in the path in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, like a gifted scholar and beautiful woman, but seeing such a clean scene, his heart was surging It's not a very clean thought.

  Four surnames in Wu County.

  Which one didn't crawl out of the wind and rain?

  In the pre-Qin period and the early Han Dynasty, the four surnames reclaimed the barren hills around Wujun, improved the land, and managed a little bit, so that the current Wujun is rich...

   So new here, how old are you?

  Zhang Wen sneered, then quickly put away the mocking smile on his face, changed into an upright gentleman, walked out of the courtyard gate, and greeted a person outside, "My dear brother, are you all right?" 』

   A festive smiling face appeared again, but not everyone could see clearly what was behind this smiling face.

  …(*`ェ*)…

  Happiness may be conserved. When some people are happy, others will not be happy.

  For example, Lu Yi.

Soochow is of course also ranked according to the official rank of the big man, but, because Lao Sun's family is actually relatively poor, so this salary can often only get 60%, at most 80%, so although Lu Yi was considered a senior Advise the doctor, the salary is more than 800 shi, but actually not enough people get it, sometimes they can only get two or three hundred shi.

It's like being in the devil's city in the later generations, with the title of the president of the East China region, but only three or four thousand in hand. I really can't even pay the rent, let alone find some younger brothers and sisters with a lot of food and drink. Played.

   Advising the doctor is of course something dirty, er, picketing officials, impeaching lawbreakers, etc., is considered a noble position, but Lu Yi is not satisfied, or strictly speaking, only half satisfied.

  Expensive, Satisfied, Clear, Dissatisfied.

  I am like a dog, licking desperately, even the **** smells delicious, is it because of the so-called "pure"?

  Before, Lu Yi didn’t dare to complain about his situation, because he knew the real reason for the congestion on his official roads…

  He is not a common surname.

  Schools of noble families, even if they are ordinary talents, can be a master of the same place with ease. If they have a heart, they will deal with some official affairs.

  There is no one behind him to rely on, not even Sun Quan.

  Sun Quan looked at him like he was looking at a dog.

  The Sun family, hehe, the Sun family is not a good thing either!

  Lv Yi sneered a few times.

  Sun Quan is somewhat conservative and cowardly...

   If you really let yourself do it, don’t care what he is, just kill him! Kill the four surnames of Wu County, and Lao Tzu will be the new four surnames!

  A reasonable robber, besides being cute in the eyes of hostages and fat sheep, is there any other use?

Unfortunately…

Why!

   Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!

Why!

   It seems that this good day can only come to an end. Next time, I don’t know when I will wait...

  …o(￣▽￣)d…

   Lu Yi is not the only one who feels that the good times are short.

   It's like the emperor who should be the happiest in the entire Han Dynasty, and the emperor who should have the least worries. In fact, he is not happy every day.

  Actually, the position of emperor is busy even if it is said to be busy.

  Sometimes, big and small things have to be taken care of. Even the wives of the ministers are jealous, and they have to make troubles in the Golden Palace. When their own princess finds an automatic pile driver, she will be dragged down to the lower ranks...

  But if you say you’re not busy, you’re really not busy.

  Someone like Liu Xie even had to find something to do.

  For example, the sacrifice and blessing of spring plowing.

  It's just...

The officials kneeling in front of the altar, and the nearby people who are worshiping, still seem to be quite pious, serious, tense and orderly, more or less similar, but the people who are watching and eating melons in the distance are not. It looks like, at such a serious time, you can still applaud!

   This made Liu Xie feel that he was a singer and dancer performing in the courtyard, and then maybe he played a flower job in the middle, which immediately attracted cheers and applause from the surrounding audience...

Shaking for a long time, chattering for a long time, the people kneeling in front of the altar were still pious, but the people onlookers couldn't bear their temper, and began to jostle and twitter. But a little laughing.

  The Spring Plowing Festival is nothing to say, it must be done by Liu Xie, but is it similar to the follow-up small activities such as praying for rain and praying for blessings...

This job is not easy to do. Most of the time it is done by ordinary officials. Anyway, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t get rain, or there is no efficacious. After all, for small officials, everyone just laughs and passes. .

   As a result, Liu Xie not only wanted to offer sacrifices, but also to pray for blessings and rain...

  If you don’t react faster, grab the people and come to fill up the money, and give each person a hundred dollars, and gather around the altar to worship and put on a pose. Isn’t there even a decent one?

  I don’t know if I can report this money, what name would it be better?

Traveling expenses?

   Well, let me think about it. The ritual officer's expression became more and more serious.

Although the sky is cloudy, it doesn't mean that it will rain when it rains. Seeing that the process of praying for rain is over, the sky is still heavy, with an unhappy look on his face, so he naturally ignores Liu Xie's heart silent prayer.

"Your Majesty...this..." The ceremony officer in charge of this matter stepped forward in small steps and came to Liu Xie. He bowed his head deeply without showing the slightest expression, "The ceremony of praying for blessings and praying for rain is over... Please your Majesty earlier return to the palace..."

   Seeing that the warlocks on the altar had already started to clean up their affairs, Liu Xie sighed softly. Just now he sincerely and wholeheartedly prayed to God, to his ancestors, to the heroic spirits of the former emperors of the Han family, but God...

  Liu Xie stood up slowly, and was about to order to return to the palace, but suddenly felt something, then raised his head in surprise, and looked towards the sky.

  The sky seems to be getting darker again.

   There is a slight chill on his face...

  『…』The ceremonial officer opened his mouth wide, and his original serious expression had long since disappeared, "It's...it's...it's raining~rain~! Your Majesty begs for rain! His Majesty! Ask for rain! 』

  The pattering spring rain fell again.

Liu Xie raised his head, closed his eyes, and felt the rain on his face and body. The **** next to him hurriedly wanted to hold an umbrella for Liu Xie, but Liu Xie pushed it away with a slap. Reason! 』

  The people around were laughing at first, and the people who were about to disperse stopped one after another, and then looked at Liu Xie who raised his head to the sky in the drizzle, and they were suddenly a little dazed, and then a little shocked.

  『Your Majesty...Your Majesty asked for rain! 』

  The thin and high-pitched voice of the Huangmen **** seemed to pierce everything around him, and then he prostrated himself at Liu Xie's feet with a plop.

  The ceremonial officer was stunned for a moment, and then also knelt down.

Then there were more people around the altar, from near to far, like ripples on the surface of the water, one by one knelt down, and finally only Liu Xie stood alone, looking up at the sky .

  『I! ’Liu Xie opened his hands, as if to announce to the sky, or to everyone present, or to those who were not present, ‘I am the Son of Heaven! 』

  『Big man... Son of Heaven...』

  …︿(￣︶￣)︿…

   It was drizzling.

  Emperor Liu Xie was praying outside the city, and the news that it really rained quickly spread.

  A son of heaven who can communicate with the sky and get a response from the sky is undoubtedly the most admired and desired thing by ordinary people.

  This simple emotion comes from ancient times.

Because many things in nature are beyond the control of ordinary people, leaders who know how to use nature to guide ordinary people to avoid risks and obtain shelter are of course respected by ordinary people, and this respect is passed down from generation to generation. down...

   At the same time, there were also new rumors around Yuzhou, Xu County.

  Some people began to praise Xun Yu, expressing that he paid attention to people's livelihood and stopped atrocities.

  There are wise rulers and virtuous ministers, so why is the whole world still in such chaos and life is so miserable?

   Isn't the answer obvious?

   But the person who is praised doesn't feel that there is anything to be happy about.

   Xun Yu went to the General's Mansion to meet Cao Cao, but was told that Cao Cao was not in the mansion, but in the west of the city...

  There is a mountain in the west of Xudu City.

   Call it Laoshan.

  In the northwest of the old mountain, there is a mountain peak, which is called Huangdi Peak. It is said that the Yellow Emperor used to quarry stones and make alchemy here.

Of course, because in China, Yanhuang is an ancient sage, so it is said that Huangdi Peak, Alchemy Cave, Caiyun Valley, etc. can be found all over the country. It seems that Huangdi has dozens of clones, and at the same time, there are sub-bases for mining all over the country. Same.

   It doesn't matter whether the Yellow Emperor is here or not, what matters is whether others will believe this legend.

   It's like whether anyone will believe the rumors now...

   With a heavy heart, the steps naturally become heavy.

   Xun Yu didn't know what was waiting for him, so he walked forward silently, not fast.

  On the mountain road in front, there are Cao Cao's armored guards, standing here and there, all silent, extending from the front to the top of the mountain ridge.

  In spring, with the drizzle, the air between the mountains and forests becomes moist and fresh. The air seems to be filled with extremely fine water droplets, and every breath will cool the whole heart and lungs...

  Of course, it will also take away heat, making people gradually feel cold.

  Xun Yu became short of breath, and at a certain moment, he wanted to turn around and leave directly. Why explain it to Cao Cao? Did he do something wrong? However, he knew he couldn't do this, even if he fled alone, where could he escape? He has the responsibility to revitalize the Xun family, and this responsibility is like a gradually damp robe, pressing on his shoulders.

  Bypassing the mountain road, there is a small stream coming down from the top of the mountain, gurgling and turning into the canyon. The width of the canyon is not large, and it can even be said to be a bit narrow. The mountains on both sides are more than ten feet high, and there are no trees, just the rudimentary jaggedness. Slightly cold, with patches of moss, looking towards the front of the canyon, there is only a small irregular piece of sky left.

  Xun Yu felt like he was at the bottom of a well, looking up at the sky above the mouth of the well, and the footsteps sounded like he was singing alone, but no one could understand him, and some even despised him for croaking.

  Sometimes there is no way out, and there is another village.

   But more often, there are long mountain roads, cliffs, and nowhere to go.

  The mountain lair grew bigger and bigger, blowing the robe.

  Through the canyon, there is a broad stone platform, and under the stone platform is a cliff.

  There is nothing above the sky, but below is the abyss.

  『Sir, Xun Yu, pay homage to the lord...』

   Xun Yu bowed his head and bowed.

  Cao Cao didn't look back, but ordered lightly: "Excuse me, and come forward." 』

   Xun Yu took a few steps forward cautiously.

  A vast picture unfolds in front of you...

The vast cliffs, the blue sky, the mountains and streams as thin as a line, and the towns and cities at the end of the line of sight form an extremely vast world, so that no matter how powerful people are in front of these pictures, they will also feel own insignificance.

  In the distance, in the drizzle, Xu Du is very small, hazy, like in a fairyland, bringing out a kind of ethereal and sacred flavor.

  This is Yuzhou, this is Yingchuan, and this is Xudu.

   This is Xudu, which he has worked hard for many years, worked hard, repeated calculations over and over again, and worked hard every day to maintain, expand, and prosper in the daytime.

  This is the answer sheet he handed in, this is the coagulation of his hard work.

  Xun Yu looked at Xu Du in the drizzle, feeling mixed feelings for a moment, unable to speak for a while, and only sighed softly after a long time...

  『Song Gao Weiyue is extremely handsome. Wei Yue descended from the gods, Shengfu and Shen. Wei Shen and Fu, Wei Zhou Zhihan. The four countries belong to Fan. The four directions are on the table..." Cao Cao groaned slowly, "It's about Shen Bo, Wang Zan. Yu Yi Yu Xie, the southern country is the style. The king ordered Zhaobo to settle Shenbo's house. Climbing is Nanbang, the world will carry out its merits...』

  『My lord…』Xun Yu lowered his head, 『Sir…』

  『Head up! ”Cao Cao pointed to Xu Du in the distance, “Look at this world! This is your meritorious deed, how can you not face it squarely! Build it, Albert also! Keep it, great work! Such beautiful scenery is like this! 』

   Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment.

  Xu County was shrouded in drizzle.

  In the drizzle, Cao Cao looked at Xu County, his expression was full of anticipation and some relief, as if he was watching his own child, a child who grew up day by day and took on new changes day by day...

  Looking at the figure of Cao Cao, an indescribable emotion surged into Xun Yu's heart. All the negative emotions and doubts in his heart before were completely dispelled by the picture in front of him.

  『Master…』Xun Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.

  Standing in Xu County, you can also see Xu County, but standing here now, it seems to be separated from those noises and irritability, leaving those disturbances and disturbances, leaving only the most pure emotions.

   Or, belief…

  『My lord! The minister should die ten thousand times in order to repay the lord! 』Xun Yu ignored the mud and wetness on the ground, and prostrated himself on the ground.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, something seemed to flash in his eyes, but nothing appeared, he still smiled boldly, lifted Xun Yu from the ground, held Xun Yu's arm, and raised his eyebrows laughing out loud…
