Chapter 223: A good sister and brother are deeply in love, and a true and false Yinlin
Xudu City, Imperial Palace, Inner Courtyard.
The emperor and the empress summoned Cai Yan.
For Cai Zhaoji, this is a very serious matter!
For this reason, Cai Zhaoji did not dare to be careless, let alone wear too colorful dresses.
Because she was the president of the Imperial Academy, she specially wore a Confucian robe with a black background and purple edges. The armholes were extremely large and the length of the robe was also exceptionally long.
If it weren't for her delicate temperament, at first glance, one would have thought she was an extremely delicate and handsome young man.
Speaking of which, Cai Zhaoji is very particular about her clothes.
There are generally only two types of clothes for teachers in Taixue Middle School. Teachers without official positions wear pure black clothes, such as Guo Jia...
The color of the clothes of teachers with official positions is black with purple edges.
The higher the position, the larger the armhole size and the longer the robe.
There are also specialties in crowns, which are divided into learned crowns, doctorate crowns, bachelor's crowns, and student crowns.
Naturally, Cai Zhaoji wore the most noble "erudite crown", while ordinary Taixue students could only wear the simplest wooden scholar's crown with pure black color.
Dressed in a Confucian robe, Cai Zhaoji put it on, even when Lu Yu saw it... he couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.
Under such a black robe and black hat, the gentle Sister Zhao Ji suddenly became domineering, but there was also an aura of knowledge in her domineering attitude. As long as you take a look at her, you will be overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring temperament she exudes.
Lu Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up...
Cai Zhaoji turned around in front of Lu Yu, "Is this long dress suitable? Wouldn't it be rude to enter the palace to meet the driver?"
Lu Yu shook his head, "It couldn't be more appropriate. Fortunately, we are going to the palace this time. If Sister Zhaoji appears in the Imperial Academy dressed like this, all the students will definitely bow their heads and stand aside, with their hands hanging down, showing infinite respect. They whisper in their hearts, "Yes."
Study hard and get ahead!"
There was a hint of joking in Lu Yu's words...
Look at Sister Zhao Ji's new "mister style" look.
At this moment, Lu Yu was in a state of reverie.
Before time travel, when he was in school, the main reason why he particularly liked history was that every history teacher Lu Yu had was a beautiful woman.
Often when beautiful women teach, male students will be particularly willing to listen, and the results will naturally be better.
Boys are often particularly expressive in front of beautiful girls!
So and so...it can be seen how important appearance is to an excellent teacher and to a female teacher who teaches and educates people?
"Ahem." After a slight cough, Lu Yu reminded: "Sister Zhaoji, the carriage is ready, go quickly."
Cai Zhaoji glanced back at Lu Yu, seeming to have gained a lot of confidence because of his words.
"Okay!" I agreed...
Cai Zhaoji did not forget to add: "If you come back early in the evening, my sister will cook for you..."
As she spoke, she walked out slowly, the slightly raised part looming, slowly becoming vivid.
The tight belt outlines her almost perfect figure, which is really slender and slim.
The two long sleeves are like wings, swinging rhythmically with the steps, like stepping on rhythmic dance steps.
There was also the long hair tied up under the erudite crown, which made Lu Yu feel fascinated again. Under the temptation of such a uniform, for a moment, Lu Yu actually felt like he was going to overthrow him tonight!
Hey, that's my sister. It's so sinful, so sinful.
"However, Sister Zhao Ji has really grown up!"
After sighing, Lu Yu shook his head.
This is a very sensitive time, not the time to think wildly...
"Dian Dutong." Lu Yu greeted.
"The end will be here." Dian Wei walked into the house.
"May I ask where Cao Sikong is?" Lu Yu ordered.
The person who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye. Now that this prophecy has appeared, then Lao Cao's strategy needs to be redeployed. The so-called stick will kill the first bird.
At this point... Lu Yu wants to remind Cao Cao and let him prepare early.
"It seems to be at the Chancellery!" Dian Wei: "General Cao Hong mentioned it just now when he came to Sinong Mansion..."
Cao Hong?
Lu Yu was slightly startled.
"General Zi Lian is here?"
Dian Wei said truthfully: "Just two hours ago, General Cao Hong came here to call for punishment. He said he wanted to teach Old Taicang a lesson for implementing the New Agricultural Policy. As a result..."
Well!
Lu Yu felt his throat suddenly stuck, and for a moment, he had a feeling, didn't Cao Hong come thousands of miles away to kill someone?
Ahem...
He coughed lightly and asked hurriedly: "What's the result? General Zilian wasn't beaten, was he?"
"That's not true." Dian Wei said with a smile: "General Cao Hong's face turned green when he saw Mr. Cao! Haha, he was severely punished by Mr. Cao, and he swore to everyone to support the new agricultural policy.
, I dare not go against our Sinong Mansion anymore, hahaha...I am afraid that General Cao Hong will take a detour when he hears the name of our Sinong Mansion in the future."
this…
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and murmured in his heart, Cao Hong has really been unlucky for eight lifetimes during this time!
Why does every time he kills a "chicken" to scare a monkey, he always turns into a "chicken" unexpectedly?
How sad.
After thinking about it for a while...
"In this way, Diandu Tong." Lu Yu ordered: "Send someone to bring a message to General Zilian. Just say that I, Lu Yu, will invite him to drink tonight. He will choose the restaurant and I will pay for it!"
In his words, Lu Yu was quite forthright.
No matter what, we are all in the same camp. We can't see each other when we look up. Besides, even though Cao Cao didn't help Cao Hong overtly or covertly these two times, in fact, Cao Cao was grateful to Cao Hong. After all, Cao Hong was very grateful to Cao Hong.
Did Lao Cao have any life-saving grace?
There is also Cao Hong's classic saying - the world can be free from floods, but it cannot be unfair!
Because of these words, Lu Yu decided to have a good chat with General Cao Hong that night!
In Cao Ying, the world is full of people...you can always keep it in mind.
After giving these instructions, Lu Yu quickly went out and headed towards the Chancellor's Desk. The most urgent thing was to talk to Lao Cao about the business first.
…
…
Royal Palace, Chongde Hall.
This is the largest palace in the imperial palace besides Changle Palace.
Cai Zhaoji stepped into it. Many small yellow gates around her lowered their heads and said nothing. In the depths of the hall, in front of the dragon chair, Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shou had been waiting here for a long time.
"The young lady Cai Yan pays homage to Your Majesty and the Queen."
Cai Zhaoji knelt down and saluted.
"Etiquette" is one of the six arts of a gentleman. Even though she is a woman, Cai Zhaoji has learned the six arts of a gentleman since she was a child under the teaching of her father Cai Yong. She is naturally familiar with the etiquette of serving the emperor.
"Miss Zhaoji is free of charge!" A deep voice came from the palace, followed by the sound of "tapping" footsteps. Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shoujun walked quickly towards Cai Zhaoji.
And...the emperor called Cai Yan "Miss Zhaoji", which is quite meaningful.
It stands to reason that when a superior person like the emperor meets his ministers for the first time, he can call him by his first name!
This is a unique address from a superior to a subordinate, and it is not considered rude;
Even if he is a minister who is highly valued by the emperor, the emperor will call him by his official name. For example, Cai Yan should be called - Chief Cai.
To call her with a small word like "Miss Zhaoji" is a bit too close, which is rare among emperors' titles.
How could Cai Zhaoji not experience this level?
Cai Yan was kneeling and did not dare to get up, but Queen Fu Shou walked up to her and lifted her up. "Miss Zhaoji, the ground is so cold, why are you kneeling... In the future, your majesty and I promise you that you don't have to kneel when you see me!"
this…
Just now I was called Miss Zhao Ji, but this time I don’t have to kneel down? This...Cai Zhao Ji felt a little too flattered.
"Little girl... little girl doesn't dare."
"Miss Zhaoji is the president of the Imperial Academy and the daughter of Mr. Cai Yong. Your father was once the leader of the world's literati. Now...Miss Zhaoji is about to become the leader of the Han scholars in the future. It is your majesty's consideration to allow you to avoid kneeling."
Scholars in the world, there is no need for you to postpone." Queen Fushou's words were like the breeze caressing the willows.
Every sentence makes Cai Zhaoji sweet in her heart... She also talks about the privilege of "no need to kneel" so warmly, like a spring breeze!
However, Cai Zhaoji was a little confused. Why did the emperor and the empress treat her with such courtesy?
Even if it's because of her father, it seems...it's not to this extent, right?
"Come, give Miss Zhaoji a seat!" Emperor Liu Xie ordered, and three bamboo stools were brought from Xiaohuangmen. It was obviously the emperor's intention. Emperor Liu Xie, Queen Fushou, and Cai Zhaoji sat down together.
Being so close and having intimate conversations now makes Cai Zhaoji feel even more like a dream.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't be too busy thanking me for now." Emperor Liu Xie said: "The construction of the Imperial College is related to the scholars of the world, and Miss Zhaoji, the president of the Imperial College, is even more related to the hearts of the scholars of the world. I dare not neglect it, so I will
Many veterans have discussed the former Luoyang Taixue and discovered various shortcomings and drawbacks in the previous teaching of Taixue."
At this point, Emperor Liu Xie paused for a moment and saw Cai Zhaoji's eyes full of surprise. He didn't seem surprised.
Today...he, the Emperor, and Queen Fushou are here to express their goodwill in front of Cai Yan, and also...to let her convey this goodwill to Lu Yu.
This will be crucial for Hanting to win over Lu Yu in the future.
"The shortcomings of Taixue, such as..." Emperor Liu Xie continued: "The knowledge is outdated, the teachers are insufficient, salaries are not paid on time, the academic atmosphere is muddy, students form cliques, teachers and students are not interested in studying, and they are busy wandering around the officialdom to pave the way for the future.
!”
Speaking of this, Emperor Liu Xie shook his head helplessly. "Ever since my father, Imperial College has been permeated with this vulgar atmosphere, which has greatly damaged the humanistic atmosphere cultivated by Imperial College for hundreds of years. Regarding this...
What does President Cai plan to do?"
this…
Cai Yan paused for a moment. It was the first time that His Majesty asked such a big question. How could she think of how to answer it all at once?
But... there is no doubt that what Emperor Liu Xie said is right!
These ills have already appeared since the time of Cai Zhaoji's father. Her father Cai Yong also wanted to reform the education of Imperial College, but unfortunately he was powerless. The reason... lies in the officialdom and the emperor's level.
Now, the emperor took the initiative to mention this moment, and while reminding him, it seemed to also reflect his determination and goodwill.
this…
Cai Zhaoji asked loudly: "The little girl is stupid and has not yet thought of ways to deal with these ills."
"It doesn't matter!" Queen Fushou waved her hand directly, "Your Majesty has thought of these things for Mr. Cai."
This is the charm of language. When you should call "Miss Zhaoji" to express intimacy, use "Miss Zhaoji". When you should talk about serious business, use "Mr. Cai" instead.
Hearing this, Cai Zhaoji looked towards Emperor Liu Xie.
Liu Xie also became more meticulous in his words.
"When Taixue is newly built, the teachers who can be used must be carefully screened by Mr. Cai, otherwise...sooner or later, the problems in the teaching team will still need to be eliminated; for the students of Taipei University, the learning tasks will be increased, the teaching and learning results will be strictly assessed, and the graduation assessment standards will be improved!
Those whose academic performance is less than outstanding will not be allowed to graduate, nor will they be allowed to serve as officials in the court!"
At this point, Liu Xie paused. "In the past, after graduating from Taixue, it was almost a direct train to career. It was difficult to get in and easy to get out! Now, it needs to be changed. It is easy to get in and difficult to get out."
Huo...this...
Cai Zhaoji blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Emperor Liu Xie was so interested in the Imperial Academy.
Unexpectedly, the emperor Liu Xie would make such profound suggestions regarding the management of Imperial College.
Suddenly, around the topic of Taixue, Cai Zhaoji felt that she had become much closer to the emperor, the queen, and even the entire Han court.
certainly…
What Cai Zhaoji didn't know was that her father Cai Yong had once told the emperor Liu Xie about these ideas on reforming teaching in Imperial College.
Now I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
It was just the emperor Liu Xie... who borrowed Cai Yong's words to win Cai Yan's favor.
This is a brilliant move...
Seeing the change in Cai Zhaoji's eyes, Queen Fushou revealed a faint smile on her lips and nodded slightly. It seemed that... the set goal had been achieved a lot.
But... today, she and His Majesty have more than just "academic discussions on Imperial College".
"Your Majesty has said so much. Chief Cai has just taken office, how can he remember it... Why not, we can discuss it slowly later," Fu Shou said with a smile...
Emperor Liu Xie nodded.
"That's fine, I have granted permission. Miss Zhaoji can enter the palace at any time in the future. The Queen has no relatives in this palace. Miss Zhaoji might as well come and walk around with her more! As for Taixue, if there is any need for me, Mr. Cai
You can speak directly, and I will do my best, and I can even use all the resources of the big man."
This is the purpose of the emperor and the queen, to express goodwill and then establish a sisterhood between the queen and Cai Yan.
Such and such...
In the future, will Lu Yu belong to Cao? Or to Han? They Han Ting...at least have a chance to fight for it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cai Zhaoji only felt like a dream. For a moment, she felt that His Majesty and the Queen were too close, as if she were her biological sisters.
Of course, Cai Zhaoji would not associate these with the Han court, her brother Yu, her brother Cao Cao... or even with the future situation and the game between the imperial courts.
But... she is really psychedelic and incredible, or... the atmosphere in Chongde Hall is too kind and friendly.
"Okay, okay..." Queen Fushou took Cai Zhaoji's hand. "How about accompanying me for a walk in the garden? I have something to whisper and I want to ask Miss Zhaoji."
As soon as these words came out, Cai Zhaoji stood up in a hurry and looked towards the emperor Liu Xie.
"Go, go..." Liu Xie waved his hand. "I have ordered the imperial chef to prepare a dinner. As you have said, let's have dinner in the palace!"
"But... the little girl promised her brother that she would cook for him with her own hands at night."
Cai Zhaoji blurted out almost subconsciously...
The main reason was that she was too relaxed. The emperor and the empress were like relatives, which made her speak freely this time.
Surprised by the slip of the tongue…
Cai Zhaoji quickly covered her mouth, but the words had already been spoken!
She...how could she talk about trivial matters at home in front of His Majesty and the Queen?
But... Cai Zhaoji blurted out these words.
Liu Xie and Fu Shou looked at each other, and then Fu Shou chuckled.
"What a deep brother-sister relationship..."
Because these words made Fu Shou's idea even more serious, he should not be hasty in wooing Lu Yu, and the breakthrough point was Miss Zhaoji.
"In this way, my sister won't keep you at night. Cooking for your brother is a big deal!"
At this point, Fu Shou asked one more question with interest. "By the way, Miss Zhaoji? Are you married? Is your brother married?"
Ah...ah...
Cai Zhaoji was stunned when she blurted out these words.
Marriage? This...
Strictly speaking, when he was young, Cai Yong arranged a marriage for Cai Zhaoji. The other party was a descendant of Liehou Wei Qing, a branch of the Wei clan, and the son's name was Wei Zhongdao.
However, because he accompanied Brother Yu to go south, the chaos in Luoyang happened to be nothing more.
Nowadays, Cai Zhaoji has already stopped thinking about this kind of thing. The only thing she cares about is finding a beautiful girl for Brother Yu and watching him get married and start a family.
With this in mind.
Cai Zhaoji said:
"Brother Yu is not married yet, and the little girl is his sister. If he doesn't get a wife, then... the little girl will definitely not get married!"
Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shou were somewhat surprised by Cai Zhaoji's words...
If there was still a deep love between brother and sister just now, now, the two of them seem to feel a bond that transcends the love between brother and sister!
Is it okay to delay one's life-long event for the sake of his younger brother?
call…
Let out a long breath.
Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu Shou said with emotion, what a pair of siblings...
The younger brother is extraordinary and outstanding. How can the elder sister not be outstanding? The elder sister who always puts her younger brother in her heart?
With emotion, Queen Fushou was left with many emotions.
…
…
At this moment.
The rumors among the people are getting worse and worse.
The prophecy added many mysterious colors.
——"Have you heard? Recently, the saying "six seven forty-two, the person who succeeded the Han Dynasty, should be Tu Gaoye" that was circulated during Emperor Wu's period has been mentioned again. Six plus seven, plus four, twelve...just right.
That's twenty-nine! The current emperor is also the twenty-ninth emperor of the Han Dynasty. Is this something destined?"
——"That's not all. What has been reported from the south recently is that the big man has the red virtue of fire. Fire generates earth. The one who replaces the fire virtue is the earth virtue. Doesn't this mean...people with the earth virtue will replace the big man!"
——"Shh, keep your voice down, you don't know yet, Chuanguo Jade Seal has not disappeared. Recently...he appeared in Jianghuai."
——"One more thing, I heard that Yinlin, who disappeared two years ago, is now working for Yuan Shu in trouble, and he even revealed the secret: Yuan Shu is the one who succeeded the Han Dynasty!"
The storm was about to come, and for a time, the legend about the prophecy spread more and more widely among the people, and the more it spread, the more mysterious it became.
Of course, Cao Cao and Xun Yu, who are now at the Chancellery, also heard this news.
only…
What surprised them most was not the prophecy!
But...the rumor that "three people become tigers" and "the more it spreads, the truer it gets", Yinlin, who has been missing for two years, is under Yuan Shu's account in Huainan!
What else - Yuan Shu is the one who replaced Han Dynasty!
Your uncle...Cao Cao and Xun Yu were both confused. Where is Yinlin and who is Yinlin? They know it best.
when?
Yinlin came to Yuan Shu's tent.
this…
What's so special, Cao Cao only had three words in his heart - fake.
