There are some things he doesn't like to ask in a serious situation. Instead, he prefers to ask them after the two of them have become intimate, perhaps when he will feel more relaxed and at ease.

"Jiaojiao never seemed to like complicated hairstyles; she always preferred to use just a few simple jade hairpins..."

Xun Yu embraced the person in front of him, holding their waist, then buried his face in their neck and kissed them as he asked.

Tang Yu couldn't help but chuckle because her neck was a little itchy, and then said something teasing.

"It's clearly Wenruo who likes it this way. Isn't Wenruo most fond of the way I look when she takes off my hairpins...?"

In the past few months, Xun Yu has secretly given her countless jade hairpins.

Then every night, he likes to kiss the moment he pulls out the jade hairpin.

Tang Yu understands men's thoughts best.

These words were full of provocation, and Xun Yu's eyes instantly softened to the point of almost dripping with tears. He couldn't help but kiss the strands of hair next to him.

"Yes, Jiaojiao's hair is so beautiful..."

The two lay intimately on the carpet, their long hair tangled together and their clothes disheveled.

Her dark hair was scattered among her red lips, and the skin of the person beneath her was as smooth as jade, so stimulating that one only wanted to sink into the bone-deep intimacy.

"Does Jiaojiao truly believe there is no hope for the Han dynasty?"

In the middle of the night, after a passionate encounter, Xun Yu held the person in his arms and asked in a hoarse voice.

Actually, from his perspective, his position on this issue is quite complex.

People are probably all hypocritical.

If someone wanted to disrupt the world, Xun Yu would consider that person to be rebellious and a heinous criminal.

However, if the person in your arms has such thoughts, there must be a legitimate reason, and perhaps their thoughts are wrong.

Xun Yu felt he needed to be persuaded.

"Has Wenruo been worried about this matter lately?"

After all, what Tang Yu did was rather obvious.

Xun Yu didn't ask clearly, unsure whether he was waiting for Tang Yu to speak first, or if he was struggling with something.

"It's not so much worry as contemplation, but rather reflection on what the right path is for this world. Is the path I'm thinking of feasible, or is Jiaojiao the right one?"

"However, after seeing those things at the fortified village today, I feel that some of the principles we, the gentry, uphold might be wrong."

In fact, many people in this world are also confused about how to save the world. Should we maintain the old system or carry out a major reform? In fact, many people have never figured this out.

However, after seeing those things inside the fortified village today, I'm starting to understand something: what I thought before might all be wrong.

To save all the people of the world by selecting a wise and virtuous emperor to assist in governing the country is, in fact, not a feasible option.

Many things only become convincing when seen with one's own eyes.

"Wenruo, some people say that there is only so much wealth in the world, so we cannot exploit the people. We must keep the wealth among the people so that the people can become rich and the country can become strong."

However, Sang Hongyang once said that the operation of the imperial court required a large amount of money, and only by consolidating the court's power could it accomplish great things and resist the northern barbarians. He wasn't entirely wrong.

"However, since the imperial court controlled a large amount of wealth, the common people were forced to transfer a large amount of wealth into the national treasury, which made it difficult for many people to survive."

This matter has been debated for over a century. In fact, the best way to resolve this issue is to increase the total amount of wealth, and increasing the total amount of wealth is like the water-powered spinning wheel that Wenruo saw today.

More advanced production tools, higher-yield grain seeds, and better roads can all make people richer.

Xun Yu understood this principle after witnessing its concrete reality.

"So what does Jiaojiao want to do next?"

"Wait, I'm waiting for the right opportunity."

Tang Yu thought it might take another year or two, but unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out not long after the New Year!

Chapter 12 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

The massive Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across eight prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty in an instant.

After being betrayed by members of the Taiping Dao organization at the beginning of the year, the Taiping Dao was forced to launch an uprising ahead of schedule, and the flames of war quickly spread to most parts of the country.

The court was initially shocked, and the emperor was furious, but in the end, they had no choice but to compromise with the current situation.

The Han emperor appointed He Jin as Grand General. In order to prevent the gentry from siding with the Way of Peace at this time, he had no choice but to pardon the families involved in the Party Prohibitions.

Therefore, the families in Yingchuan who had been implicated in the Party Prohibitions suddenly gained the opportunity to re-enter the imperial court.

However, the Yellow Turban Army was extremely powerful, and within a few months it had occupied many places and was about to approach the capital.

The emperor had no choice but to issue an order allowing each prefecture and county to recruit men and form volunteer armies to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

This is a great opportunity.

Once local powerful clans and gentry are allowed to organize their own armed forces to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it means that the people of the world are allowed to possess armed forces.

Although the chaos of the Three Kingdoms period only began later, the seeds of all the troubles were sown at that time.

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei all developed their power during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was their first pot of gold, accumulating fame and power.

Tang Yu would naturally not let this opportunity slip by; it was a legitimate chance to organize an armed force.

The imperial court was no longer able to investigate how many soldiers were recruited and how many weapons were forged during this process.

So, would Tang Yu join the imperial court in fighting the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Of course not.

Instead, she infiltrated the Yellow Turban Army, disguising herself as a refugee and making herself incredibly ugly.

Then, they poached members from within the Yellow Turban Army!

Tang Yu always believed that the Taiping Dao uprising was the right thing to do.

However, Tang Yu could not join in, because she could not allow religion to rule the world in the future.

The Yellow Turban Army also took many ordinary people hostage; these were all unfortunate people, and we could save as many as we could.

Anyway, her worst quality right now is her personality.

So, while the Xun family was still overjoyed at the relief from the persecution of the Party, Tang Yu pretended to be sick and disappeared.

On this day, Xun You, whom Xun Yu had not seen for a long time, came to Xun Yu.

"Uncle, the General has already appointed You as a Gentleman Attendant at the Palace Gate. I will be setting off for Luoyang soon."

Xun Yu was brewing tea. This was tea that Tang Yu had prepared for him. It had a delicate fragrance and was brewed differently from the way others brewed tea.

At that time, aristocratic sons dared to put scallions, ginger, and garlic into their tea, the more the better, as if that was what was fashionable.

Tang Yu found this way of brewing tea indescribable, and the taste was even more unacceptable.

Therefore, she taught Xun Yu the tea-brewing methods of later generations, and the tea leaves were carefully selected by her and given to Xun Yu.

As Xun Yu spoke, he poured Xun You a cup of tea that he had just brewed.

"This is a joyous occasion, your uncle congratulates you."

However, Luoyang was a city teeming with people from all walks of life, and its interpersonal relationships were incredibly complex. In the imperial court, various factions were locked in fierce infighting.

As you are new to this place, you must act with caution to avoid getting involved in unnecessary conflicts.

Xun You felt that the tea in front of him was unforgettable. It was slightly bitter at first, but then a sweet taste would melt on his tongue, as refreshing as a mountain spring.

The sweetness was not intense, but rather as delicate as a spring breeze, gently brushing against the taste buds and leaving a lingering aftertaste.

It's truly a wonderful cup of tea.

You will remember your uncle's reminder.

Xun Yu smiled and nodded. Xun You couldn't help but ask for another cup of tea, and then couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of tea is this?"

“Your aunt brought it from the Tang family. The Tang family now has a tea plantation. I will have the servants pack some tea leaves and send them to you later.”

Xun You had already met his aunt before, and she was truly a peerless beauty.

At that time, he still thought his aunt was a weak woman.

However, over time, Xun You was able to discover the unusual in the details that others could not notice.

Some things are better left unsaid, and Xun You didn't want to expose them, so he said this.

"Uncle, you've changed a bit. Is Uncle aware of and tacitly accepting that Aunt is such a special person?"

In fact, Xun You didn't know what Tang Yu was doing either.

However, he rarely appears in public, preferring to stay home and recuperate. Yet, whenever he does appear in front of others, he is always dazzlingly radiant.

Xun You truly felt that his aunt was quite extraordinary.

Of all the extraordinary women in the world, my aunt is probably the most extraordinary.

Therefore, after saying this, Xun You was prepared for his uncle to possibly change his attitude.

If the uncle doesn't know, consider it a subtle hint.

If my uncle finds out and tacitly approves of this, I should remind him to be careful and to keep it a secret in the future.

“Gongda has had the ability to see things since he was a child. He saw through the murder suspect who was trying to escape by guarding the tomb at a glance.”

Now, you have noticed something unusual. This matter is of great importance and should not be known to outsiders. Gongda, please continue to keep this secret for me.

Xun Yu made the request frankly, knowing that Xun You was a man of few words.

The fact that Xun You offered this reminder shows that he had no intention of revealing the matter at all.

A few days later, Tang Yu returned to the Xun family and learned about the matter.

"Alas, all the talented people are in the imperial court; we are short of manpower!"

These words amused Xun Yu.

"Didn't you save a lot of people too?"

"I still lack talent capable of commanding thousands of troops. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can only save a small number of people."
