For a Prosperous World

Chapter 425: I'll tell you a bad joke

Views:

The prince's clothes were captured, and the gate of the palace was covered with dead bodies that day, and the rain washed away the blood, which flowed through the entire palace road. Those who came to the morning court the next day could still smell the stench of blood.

Dong Cheng's plot was revealed, and all his accomplices were brought to justice. When sending Dong Cheng and the others, Cao Cao stood in the hall and asked Liu Xie a word.

"Your Majesty, if there is no Cao Cao in the world, how many people should be called emperors and how many people should be called kings?"

Liu Xie didn't answer. At this time, it doesn't matter whether he personally dropped the clothes belt edict or what he said.

Because he can't completely trust Cao Cao, and it's hard for Cao Cao to trust him now.

Sitting on the court seat without saying a word, the emperor and the minister looked at each other for a while, Cao Cao turned and left with a few people. The hall was silent for a while, and soon there was a loud singing from outside.

"When the wind blows, the clouds are flying. We will join the sea and return to our hometown. And the warriors will guard the four directions!"

Over and over again, with vigor and vigor, until the human voice is far away and can no longer be heard.

After retreating from the court, Liu Xie sat in the court hall where there was no one around, and waved his hands to make people on both sides retreat.

Summon the imperial physician, make a bowl of soothing soup and send it over.

When the imperial physician arrived, he saw Liu Xie sitting alone on the ground by the door of the main hall, looking at the open stone steps in front of the hall, and the pavilions that were too high to see outside.

The imperial physician walked to Liu Xie's side with the medicine in hand, bowed down and presented the medicine in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please take medicine."

Liu Xie sat on the ground and reached out to take it, took a sip, and the taste of the medicine in his mouth was very astringent.

"It's so hard"

He said softly and asked the imperial physician.

"Do you have sugar?"

The imperial physician bowed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't have any, do you want me to call someone to get some?"

"That's all."

As he spoke, Liu Xie slowly finished the soup in the bowl, and leaned against the door with his eyes closed.

"You back off."

The imperial physician should be, bowed his head and left.

With her eyes closed, Liu Xie seemed to hear someone sitting next to her, she asked.

"Do you want candy?"

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly: "Okay."

But the floors in the palace are very high, covering his eyes so high that he can no longer see even a single person.

In front of the door of a mansion, a man was holding two jugs of wine and raising his hand, and stopped for a while before knocking on the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and a woman stood inside.

"I met Miss Xiu'er." The person in front of the door bowed and said after a pause.

"I wonder if Mr. Gu is here?"

"So it's Mr. Guo." Diao Xiu'er opened the door and invited Guo Jia in.

"Sir is in the hall."

There are not many people visiting this mansion, so my husband said that the visitors are just let in.

Gu Nan was sitting in the hall looking at a book, and Xu Chang also opened an academy, hand-copied books were not enough, Kong Rong was starting to print the book with movable type.

She and Kong Rong had tried it before, but the paper made by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty could not reach the level of printing.

Recently, they tried a new kind of paper, which was improved by a man named Zuo Bo more than ten years ago, a kind of paper called Zuo Bo paper.

This kind of paper is enough for printing, but it will take a while to engrave the blocks, and it is expected that the effect will not be seen in a short time.

Diao Xiu'er brought Guo Jia to the front of the hall and did not go in with her. Guo Jia walked into the small hall alone.

A person sitting in the hall raised his head when he heard his footsteps.

"Mr. Guo." Gu Nan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The two of them didn't meet much, so they didn't know each other well enough to call Biaozi.

In the hall, Guo Jia sighed, raised the two jugs in his hands, and said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gu, today I am here to apologize to Mr.

sorry

Gu Nan didn't understand for a while.

Guo Jia explained: "When we met at the beginning of the year, I didn't know Mr., I made a joke, Mr. Do you still remember?"

Hearing this, Gu Nan remembered the scene when we first met, and smiled slightly.

That incident, when I think about it at this time, is still a little funny.

"I've been running around for the past year, and I never had a chance to apologize to my husband, and I didn't even come to the door today."

Seeing Gu Nan laughing, Guo Jia also smiled.

He knows that the other party is not a narrow-minded person, but if he doesn't understand this knot, he will always feel embarrassed when he sees Gu Nan, and his thoughts are complicated.

"Would you like to drink these two altars of fine wine with Jia?"

Who knows, Gu Nan frowned pretending to be serious.

"Didn't I tell you that you are weak and cold, you can't drink too much, or you will hurt your spleen and stomach, so forget it?"

Guo Jia's face froze.

But then Gu Nan loosened his brows and put the book on the table.

"It's not bad to have a drink now and then, though."

Guo Jiacai turned to laughing: "Yes, a few drinks are fine, never drink too much."

The wine table was placed in the yard, two altars of fine wine were opened, and the faint fragrance of wine wafted out. When there is nothing to do, it is also a pleasure for two people to sit and drink.

Gu Nan poured the wine into his glass, took a sip, and it was indeed good wine, of course this is relative.

"The beautiful woman with wine in front of me is really a proud time in life. Mr. Gu, let's have another drink."

After a few glasses of wine, Guo Jia began to talk more, and raised the glass to Gu Nan while talking.

"Beautiful wine?"

Gu Nan looked at Guo Jia, who was already a little drunk, in doubt. There is such a good wine, but where is the beauty

Guo Jia blinked, smiled, and shook his head again and again.

"When I haven't said it, just toast."

After clinking glasses, Guo Jia drank it all in one gulp, but Gu Nan didn't think much about it, just thought he was getting drunk.

It was just a drinking incident, and the two drank happily, and the relationship between the two became a lot closer.

"Speaking of filial piety, what do you think about Dong Cheng and the others?" Gu Nan suddenly said something off topic.

Because Cao Cao asked her the same thing a few days ago.

"Dong Cheng?" Guo Jia put down his glass, thought for a moment, and said.

"It's just asking for power, whether it's ambition or ambition, it's nothing more than that."

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, as if thinking of something interesting, he asked Gu Nan.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what Mr. Gu wants, but Jia really wants to know."

"Me?" Gu Nan's wine glass stopped by his mouth, lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

She didn't know what to say, so she pursed her lips and said, "Shall I tell you a joke?"

"You said that if she were an immortal person, what would she ask for?"

Guo Jia shook the wine glass slowly in his hand, fixed his eyes on the contents of the glass, and after shaking it a few times, he spoke.

"Mr. Gu, this joke is not funny. If it is true that you can live forever, it would be better if you died earlier. If the human life really lasts that long, it would be too bitter."

Everyone left, leaving him alone. He just thought about it in his heart, and felt lonely in his heart.

"yes."

Gu Nan raised his eyebrows as if he didn't care, and drank the wine in his hand.

"exactly."
