Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and Baima Yanjin and other places were gradually calmed down. This was how the battle in the north came to an end.
Cao Cao arranged for some people to continue to guard Baima Yanjin, and the remaining soldiers and horses returned in triumph together.
Before returning to Xudu, various good news and good news were sent back one after another. When they arrived at the gate of Xudu, they saw a large group of people greeting them outside the city gate.
Chen Zhou would not be surprised if he saw Xun Yu and others coming out to greet them.
However, among the people who greeted him, there was actually Liu Xie. The emperor's chariot was particularly obvious outside the city and could be seen at a glance.
Liu Xie also came to greet him!
This wasn't a slap in the face.
He was the one who sent the edict, and Liu Bei led Yuan Shao to attack, so he was the one who brought it. Now welcoming Cao Cao's triumphant return, Chen Zhou thought about it and felt that the emperor was still flexible and had a strong desire to survive.
He can also endure a slap in the face.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao was also a little surprised when he saw Liu Xie, but the emperor was right in front of him and he couldn't be rude. He was still holding the Han Dynasty flag high, so he had to dismount his horse and salute.
The soldiers behind him saluted together.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. No need to be polite."
Liu Xie's expression was a little stiff, but his performance ability was not weak. If he didn't come out to perform, he was worried that Cao Cao would come back to settle the debt with him.
This move was to give myself a step up, and also to appease Cao Cao's mood.
"That evil thief Yuan Shao forged my edict in an attempt to disrupt the world. It is extremely abominable."
"Fortunately, Cao Sikong saw through the treacherous plot and defeated Yuan Shao, ensuring that Xu Du was safe and sound."
"I'm here, thank you Cao Sikong."
Liu Xie said and bowed.
The emperor salutes his ministers?
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and felt that this emperor was very flexible. He actually thought of using this method to beg for mercy. He bowed his head proactively, which he had never thought of. He pretended to be frightened and said: "Your Majesty can't do this. Your Majesty is a king and ministers are ministers. How can you be your Majesty?" To salute your ministers?"
Liu Xie just wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't beg too obviously.
Seeing Cao Cao's reaction, he probably understood that Cao Cao would not care too much about him, and said: "This is what Cao Sikong deserves. I am holding a banquet in the palace. Please invite Cao Sikong into the palace. I will do it for you." Dust off.”
Seeing His Majesty being so humble, the ministers who came out with him felt ashamed.
However, when they thought about Cao Cao letting them go and not caring about the affair with Yuan Shao, they felt a little grateful and looked at Cao Cao with different eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao continued to be polite to Liu Xie and said: "Then I will follow your majesty into the palace."
The welcoming team was completely over when they arrived here.
Together they entered the city and then the palace.
Chen Zhou had no interest in entering the palace, but seeing Liu Xie being so humble, he felt that Liu Xie had a really strong desire to survive and was afraid of being dragged down and killed by Cao Cao.
"Cross it, can you enter the palace?"
Xun You asked.
Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. I'd better go home instead of joining in the fun with you."
After politely rejecting them, Chen Zhou went home directly.
The ladies are at home and cannot wait any longer.
They also knew that Chen Zhou had made a triumphant return today and had already prepared other things at home, waiting for Chen Zhou to come back.
Chen Zhou had just entered and was greeted solemnly by his ladies.
Go home feeling good.
"Husband, are you not injured?"
Lu Lingqi asked concernedly.
Chen Zhou explained softly: "I'm just here to make up the numbers. I hide behind the army and don't have to go to the battlefield myself. Of course I won't get hurt."
Cao Shan smiled and said: "My husband only knows how to teach others how to fight. He doesn't know how to fight in battle. He will definitely not get hurt."
They all laughed as they listened.
Let go of these worries for the time being.
The next step is to welcome Chen Zhou back, have a good meal at home, and prepare hot water for Chen Zhou to change his clothes. In the evening, he will be happy and happy, and it will be rainy and so on. Of course, it is indispensable.
After returning home, a few days passed quickly.
In the past few days, Chen Zhou played and sang every night, and he didn't know how happy he was.
I just feel like my kidneys are a bit lacking.
On this day, Cao Ang came.
"Sir, the Imperial Academy we rebuilt is completely finished."
Cao Ang came over excitedly and said.
Taixue finally recovered, which was a good thing. Chen Zhou immediately went out and came outside Taixue.
I saw a tall building standing here, covering a large area. It looked quite luxurious inside and had a very solemn feeling.
"good!"
Chen Zhou looked around and nodded in appreciation: "When we went to fight, the craftsmen here were not lazy and the construction was very good."
Cao Ang said: "Sir, please go in and take a look."
"That's fine!"
Chen Zhou walked into this Imperial Academy.
The building structure inside is of course made of wood.
The layout of Taixue is based on the one that was burned down by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. The division of each functional area is very thorough.
"Sir, this is the library you mentioned!"
Cao Ang led Chen Zhou to another independent room.
This house has three floors in total.
The area is the largest here.
Although there are not so many books to put there, but by making the area larger first, maybe we will be able to have them in the future and can also put them there.
Cao Ang introduced: "The bookshelf has not been finished yet. I have urged the craftsmen to speed up the work. The factory outside the city has also prepared a large number of books and can be moved to the library at any time. What do you think, sir?"
"Of course it's good!"
Chen Zhou nodded slightly.
This was the first library in the Han Dynasty and the first library in ancient times. It was completed in the rebuilt Taixue. Chen Zhou also felt a sense of accomplishment.
When people in the future mention the library, they will naturally be the first thing they think of. Their reputation will be passed down through the ages.
Cao Ang asked: "Sir, do you think there are any other areas that need improvement?"
"Gone!"
Chen Zhou had never managed a library and didn't know where to improve. He nodded and said, "You have done a great job. When the bookshelves are built and the books are delivered, the library will be officially established."
"I'll arrange it!"
Cao Ang nodded.
In fact, he was a little excited in his heart.
This is truly making history.
They want to make Taixue different and make this reconstructed Taixue have more books than the one in Luoyang before.
However, it is not easy to achieve this transformation, and they must continue to work hard.
"Has my lord told me when our Imperial College will officially enroll students?"
Chen Zhou asked.
Cao Ang nodded and said: "Father did say that starting from the day after tomorrow, according to my husband's plan, my father will start the elementary education in the rebuilt Imperial College and prepare to recruit some children from poor families and common people. The specific method of operation will be discussed between my father and Mr. Xun. .”
With Xun Yu and the others discussing it, there would basically be no problems with the enrollment and operation of Taixue.
"So fast?"
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "On the day you reopen the Imperial Academy, I have to come and watch the ceremony."
Cao Ang said with a smile: "Father also said that he wants me to be the imperial scholar to offer wine sacrifices. What do you think, sir?"
Chen Zhou refused directly: "Of course not, don't ask me about offering wine. If you think I'm too idle, you can make me the master of the library. That's still acceptable."
It's no secret that he wants nothing to do with things.
When you are a priest, there are definitely a lot of things going on.
