Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 417 Inaction?promising?
After eating an unknown meal, Xun You lay in his former room, tossing and turning: what happened during the day was too strange, if he couldn't think clearly, he would not be able to close his eyes safely.

Xun You knew that everyone in the Xun family was extremely intelligent, and his uncle was not necessarily less intelligent than himself or Xun Yu.He presided over the affairs of this big family. He had already become a master through experience, and he had seen all the bloody plots in the war-torn place of Yingchuan. It was impossible for him to be smart.

If I talk as a nephew of the Xun family, I can still be moved by family affection.But as soon as he took on the identity of General Anyuan of the Han Dynasty, Xun Qu suddenly kept silent: Xun You knew that sometimes keeping silent was also an expression, that is, it was absolutely impossible for him to drag Yingchuan into troubled times. talk!

But why?
Is it because my uncle is really old and timid, and he doesn't want to see Yingchuan fall into a sea of ​​flames?

Maybe so.But in such a troubled world, who can be alone?This place in Yingchuan is destined to be a battlefield where dragons and tigers fight, if they don't stand up bravely, they can only be slaughtered by others!Couldn't even uncle see through such a simple truth?

Xun You thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the harder it was to sleep, so he simply put on a single coat and came to the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, only the full moon in the sky unselfishly sprinkled a clear light on the world, as if paying homage to those unwilling souls.The Ticada was also silent, only some unknown insects squeaked in the grass, like Yingchuan lingering on its last legs.

Xun You sighed leisurely, not knowing why he came out.But just as he turned around to go back to the house, he couldn't help but listen to the melodious sound of reading.

The voice was that of a man, but the ups and downs of his voice had already captured the essence of the memorization, and when he read it slowly, it gave people a feeling of freshness: "Tao can be said, very Tao. Name can be named, very well-known. The beginning of the unknown world, She is known as the mother of all things. Therefore, she has no desire to observe her beauty..."

When Xun You heard this, he frowned immediately.But looking carefully at the source of the reading, he thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile again: the room with the candles was where his cousin Xun Qi lived.

My uncle is getting old, and I don't want Yingchuan to have any more turmoil.However, there are many outstanding people in Yingchuan, and they may not be indifferent to the possible wealth.As soon as he entered the door, Xun You had already seen that several nephews were looking at him with eager eyes: those people can be used.

Especially Xun Qi.

"Don't honor the virtuous, so that the people will not fight. Don't value hard-to-find goods, so that the people will not be stolen. Seeing what is desirable, so that the people's hearts will not be disturbed. It is the rule of the saints, empty their hearts, strengthen their stomachs, weaken their ambitions, and strengthen them It often makes the people ignorant and desireless, and makes the wise dare not do anything. If you do nothing, everything will be cured..."

Xun Qi's reading sound was still melodious, and Xun You was already walking towards Xun Qi's room following the melodious tone.From Xun Qi's first sentence, he heard that Xun Qi was reading Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" - the content of this book is a good subject to start the conversation, which is exactly what Xun You meant.

Finally, wait for Xun Qi to read "The world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog."A sage is not benevolent, and regards the common people as straw dogs...' At this sentence, Xun You knocked on the door of Xun Qi's room: "Brother, are you feeling sad for Li Shu who died innocently in Yingchuan?"

There was a panic in the room, and after opening the door, Xun Qi's face was still a little unsettled: "Brother, why are you here?"

"Being close to the hometown is timid, and I can't sleep for a while." Xun You answered this question casually, then pretended not to see Xun Qi's strangeness, and said with a smile: "Why, why don't you come in for a sit down?"

"Oh... Brother, please come in." Xun Qi realized this time, and hurriedly gave way to Xun You.

After entering the room, Xun You found that Xun Qi had already put away the volume of "Tao Te Ching", and the expression on his face became more confident. He took Xun Qi's cup of tea and put it on the table and said, "Brother Qi , Why are you suddenly interested in Huang Lao's techniques? I remember when you were young, you were the last thing you wanted to learn."

The art of Huang Lao was born in the Warring States Period, and it was named after the legendary Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu as its founders.It is said that when Laozi led the oxen out of Wuguan and was made things difficult by the soldiers guarding the pass, he left a book and later formed this school.

However, as a widely circulated social trend of thought, Huang Laozhi flourished only in the early Western Han Dynasty. Because of its viewpoint of "doing nothing wins, doing something", it persuaded those in power not to blindly pursue the so-called great achievements and political hegemony. It made the world go wild, and the "Government of Wenjing" appeared in Chinese history.However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the combination of Huang Lao's art and the newly emerged theory of prophecy gradually evolved into the natural way of longevity.

Xun You, who has learned from various schools of thought, is no stranger to Huang Lao's techniques.And he knew the reason why Xun Qi read the "Tao Te Ching" in the middle of the night, but for his own purpose, he still pretended not to know and continued: "Brother Qi, you know that Your Majesty loves the "Tao Te Ching" too. However, Your Majesty is a talented person who has learned from the past and the present, but he said a word..."

"What do you say?" Today's Son of Heaven can be described as a man of the day.Being much younger than Xun Qi, he naturally became an idol revered by passionate young people like Xun Qi.Therefore, when Xun You mentioned Liu Xie, Xun Qi immediately asked.

"Your Majesty said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. There are many essences in the "Tao Te Ching" that can be used for self-cultivation and potential aspirations, but now that the world is in chaos, we must not be superstitious about the saying that 'doing nothing is worse than doing something'. Instead, you should 'do what you know you can't do." Zhi', the vicissitudes of life and the efforts to return to the sky will show the true qualities of a hero!"

"Excellent! The Son of Heaven really deserves to be the Son of Heaven!" Upon hearing Xun You's words, Xun Qi immediately stood up excitedly, slamming his right hand on his left hand, and immediately wanted to shake his clothes and go out, throw his pen and join the army.

Seeing Xun Qi's reaction, Xun You knew that it was time to throw out the bait: Xun Qi was in his early twenties, just at the age when he wanted to make contributions. From the moment Xun Qi took the initiative to sign up, Xun You saw his ambition.And today he also knows about the matter between himself and his uncle, and he can't sleep reading "Tao Te Ching" in the middle of the night, but he just wants to use this to calm his mind.

"Your Majesty deeply hates that there is no one available around him, so he thought hard about the imperial examination, just to let a talent like Qidi appear in the court. With Qidi's talent, he will definitely be named on the gold list. After entering the court , and there is more help and guidance for brother, in a few years, brother Qi will not dare to estimate how far brother Qi will go..."

"It turns out that this is why Your Majesty promoted the imperial examination!" Hearing Xun You's words, Xun Qi's blood was agitated and he walked back and forth in the room.But in the end, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly sat down on his buttocks, and said dejectedly: "But father will not allow me."

"Why?" Finally at the last juncture, Xun You even made a special cover: "Didn't uncle agree with Uncle Zhongyu's matter?"

"Uncle Zhongyu is Uncle Zhongyu, and I am different from him. After all, Uncle Zhongyu is calm by nature, and he is not on the blacklist of Assailant Cao at all..."

"Assassin Tiancao?!" Xun You heard about this organization again, and it was still in his hometown Xunjia, which made him unable to maintain his calm mask.

"Uncle, do you know about the assassin Cao?" Seeing Xun You's reaction, Xun Qi didn't think too much, but said something: "Yes, uncle must know. The assassin Cao and the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty are life-and-death enemies, in Yuzhou This area kills you to the death. Uncle, as a member of the imperial court..."

Xun You basically didn't hear Xun Qi's words clearly. At this time, his face suddenly became as cold as ice, and his brain was already thinking quickly: He naturally knows this stabbing Cao.Not only did he know, but he knew more than Xun Qi!At the same time, because of this, he has much more feelings for Assassin Cao than Xun Qi...

The first time I heard this name was from Yuan Shao's subordinate Zhang He.But at that time, the imperial court had not yet regarded Assailant Cao as a fatal threat, including the emperor, himself, Li Ru, and Diao Chan.However, Assassin Cao immediately dealt a resounding blow to the Han Dynasty.

In order to persuade Zhang Yun to surrender, Liu Xie promised Zhang Yun that he would transfer his family members in Yecheng to Chang'an.As a pretense, Zhang He entered Chang'an as a prisoner and was imprisoned in the prison of Captain Sili.However, when Jin Yiwei thought that the news had passed and mobilized the power of Yecheng to pick up Zhang Xi's family, they discovered that they had entered the situation of stabbing Tiancao, and the hidden stake in Yecheng was instantly uprooted!
Since then, Jin Yiwei has forged a life-and-death feud with Yuan Shao's Assassin Cao.On the bright side, although the Han Dynasty and Yuan Shao did not make any moves, the cold war under the water was already inseparable. The two sides assassinated, persuaded, used time, tricked, poisoned, and did everything they could. It was no easier than the battlefield...

Xun You really didn't expect that when he returned to Xun's house this time, he would hear this name again.But when he was about to ask again how the Xun family was threatened by the Assassin Cao, Xun Qi raised his eyes and seemed to see something, and flew towards Xun You: "Cousin, be careful!"
