Cai Yong has recently been keen on participating in government affairs. He is too busy with work. He also goes to the Chancellor's Desk from time to time to discuss politics. It can be said that he is second only to Wang Yun in his diligence in government affairs.
He was suspicious that his daughter often went out, couldn't find anyone, and even stayed out at night, but he didn't think much about it. He never expected that she would unknowingly become close to His Majesty!
Cai Yong was shocked and excited, excited and flustered, flustered and excited.
I can't hide my smile but have to be reserved. I want to laugh but I have to be modest.
"His Majesty,"
Cai Yong's psychological quality is still very strong. Although he suffered a strong shock, he recovered quickly and argued with Liu: "I have compiled in detail the 'Jingshi Ziji' mentioned by your Majesty last time. Your Majesty is wise and can indeed be divided into For these four categories, I deeply admire your Majesty’s erudition..."
Cai Wenji poured wine for the two of them, sitting quietly with a slight smile on her pretty face.
Liu Bian took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "In today's world, people generally focus on the scriptures and ignore other things. They are more fond of empty talk than practicality. The unique knowledge of the saints in the past cannot just stay on the scriptures, let alone It stops at words. The learning of saints comes from practice and exaggerated talk. In addition to gaining a good reputation, it actually harms the country and the people..."
Cai Yong bowed in deep agreement and said: "Your majesty is wise, and I also believe that empty talk will harm the country. We must serve the country above and the people below, so that we can live up to what we have learned."
Liu Bian nodded and gave Pan Yin a look.
Pan Yin quickly took out a roll of paper and handed it to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong was startled, then took it and opened it, only to see more than twenty small characters written squarely on it. After reading it, his expression became shocked and his eyes widened.
——Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
Cai Yong savored these words with shock in his eyes. He couldn't help but look up at Liu Bian. He stood up tremblingly, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty's four sentences are simple but grand in meaning. They have far-reaching intentions. They cannot be expressed without great audacity. I, sir. Deeply admired and cast in admiration!"
Cai Wenji was curious, so she took it and looked at it, blinked, bit her lip gently, then her eyes glowed, and she looked straight at Liu Bian, her pretty face full of admiration.
'Ashamed, ashamed...'
Liu Bian recited silently in his heart and said with a smile: "Sit down at the Qing family. You have written these few words in front of Taixue and Hongdu School to inspire all students."
Cai Yong sat down, raised his hands and said, "I accept the order."
Liu Bian glanced at Cai Wenji, picked up the wine glass, and thought to himself: I have worked hard to please my father-in-law.
Cai Yong was still staring at these twenty words, and hesitated for a moment: "This word..."
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, coughed, and said, "My handwriting is really not good-looking, so I want the Qing family to engrave it."
Cai Yong quickly raised his head and said, "I'm not saying that your majesty's calligraphy is not good, but it's the first time I've seen this font."
Liu Bian said oh and drank by himself.
He was used to writing in regular script, but he had forgotten about handwriting. He had already copied other people's words, and he was too embarrassed to copy other people's handwriting.
While Cai Yong was pondering the font, Pan Yin quietly stepped forward and whispered in Liu Bian's ear: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu has arrived in Beijing."
Liu Bian's expression changed slightly. He suddenly stood up and was about to leave. Then he suddenly realized that he raised his hand and put it down again. He smiled and said to Cai Yong and Cai Wenji, "I have something urgent, so I won't eat with you today."
With that said, he couldn't wait to leave.
Cai Yong stood up, but before he could salute, Liu Bian and his party had left in a hurry.
Cai Yong looked at Liu Bian's back and asked doubtfully: "What makes His Majesty so flustered?"
Cai Wenji was very curious about Liu Bian's sudden behavior and strange words.
After leaving Cai Mansion, Liu Bian got on the carriage and asked, "Where is he?"
Pan Yin said: "It is said that it is at the Chancellor's desk."
Liu Bian hummed and said, "Go back to the palace."
Pan Yin responded and called Dian Wei to mount his horse.
Liu Bian rushed to the palace and saw a group of people gathered in front of Jiade Hall from a distance, waiting for him quietly.
"Such a big battle?" Liu Bian was startled.
Pan Yin looked cautious and whispered: "Your Majesty, maybe it's because of Dong Zhuo's letters."
Liu Bian slapped his forehead. There were so many happy things today that he almost forgot about this. He smiled and strode to the front of the Jiade Hall. When he saw the ministers about to salute, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk after we go in."
As he spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd and looked at a stranger who seemed to be both very old and very young.
Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others hesitated to speak, so they had no choice but to follow Liu Bian into the Jiade Hall.
When they arrived at Jiade Hall, everyone sat down. Liu Bian ignored the anxious Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others, and kept looking at the stranger - Xun Yu.
This person should be in his twenties or seventies, but he looks very mature. He has wrinkled skin, thin face corners, somewhat big eyes, a high nose bridge, and is thin and weak.
Xun You saw Liu Bian's gaze, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Xun Yu to be the Order of Taicang."
No one cared about Xun Yu and Taicang Ling. Wang Yun raised his hand impatiently and was about to speak, but Liu Bian spoke first and said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Xun Qing's family, there are many Qing family members in the court. I recommend the Qing family again, but I wonder what the Qing family thinks about the government?"
Xun Yu looked calm, raised his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, let me observe. The government affairs are patchy and patchy. They are set up according to the situation. There is no outline or long-term plan."
As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, the originally agitated Jiade Hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Xun Yu.
Regarding government affairs, since last year, Liu Bian has asked the Chancellor to draw up a "policy outline". After several revisions, it was enough for Liu Bian to agree!
Now, Xun Yu easily wiped it out with just one word!
Wang Yun knew that Xun Yu, Xun You's nephew, was also from the Yingchuan faction!
Wang Yun sneered in his heart towards this person who was also called 'Wang Zuo's Talent', and said with an indifferent face: "What good strategy does Captain Xun have?"
With everyone watching, Xun Yu looked at Wang Yun and said calmly: "Does the prince want to talk about national affairs now, or about Dong Zhuo's rebellion?"
Wang Yun was filled with hatred when he heard this, but he had to suppress his anger. He turned to Liu Bian and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that Dong Zhuo can no longer be the commander in chief to quell the rebellion. Please take him to the capital for punishment!"
Liu Bian saw Xun Yu easily 'pacifying' Wang Yun's aggressive move, his eyes were half-squinted, and he said with a smile: "What do Xun Qing's family think?"
Xun Yu didn't move an inch and said: "Dong Zhuo has an army of 50,000 people. When he was in Xiliang, he listened to the announcement but refused to obey the instructions. I don't know how to take him back to the capital for questioning."
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, Xun Yu's every word was focused on the key points.
Wang Yun was deeply wary of the "Yingchuan Party" and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I would like to replace Dong Zhuo with the Grand Sima, and mobilize the troops from the four prefectures of Yan, Qing, Xu, and Hebei. If Dong Zhuo is convicted, it will be fine. If he resists the decree, it will be fine." If you don't respect me, you should be destroyed together with Yuan Shu!"
The people here glanced at Wang Yun, no one said anything, and they shook their heads secretly.
Not to mention whether the imperial court can mobilize so many soldiers and horses, and whether there is enough money and food, this response strategy is very stupid.
Liu Bian ignored Wang Yun and kept his eyes on Xun Yu, saying, "What do Xun Qing's family think of the government? Well, sum it up in one sentence."
Everyone could see that Liu Bian obviously valued Xun Yu and took the exam again and again.
Yang Biao glanced at it, feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
When Wang Yun saw Liu Bian ignoring him, he became more and more angry and looked at Xun Yu with stern eyes.
Xun Yu raised his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "Deep roots and consolidate the foundation to control the world."
Liu Bian's eyes moved slightly, he nodded secretly, and said, "What is Ben?"
Xun Yu said: "Focus on agriculture."
Liu Bian sat up straight, glanced at the others with his peripheral vision, and said with a smile: "Some courtiers have said that the court should be based on the nobles. I rule the world with the nobles, not with the common people."
Xun Yu's face did not change and he said: "As far as your majesty is concerned, all the people in the world are scholars, or all the people in the world are farmers."
Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, Zhong Yao, He Yong, Li Ru and others all looked at Xun Yu, either frowning, thinking, wanting to refute, or stopping to speak.
Xun Yu's words seemed right, but they were very wrong.
Liu Bian looked deeply at Xun Yu, nodded in his mind, and said to himself: It is indeed not simple.
He glanced at Yang Biao, laughed loudly, and said: "What the Qing family said makes sense. If the Qing family is appointed as Taicang Order and serves as the Minister of Hu Cao, and if you are added as a minister, you can join the Shangshutai and participate in politics."
"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness." There was no excitement on Xun Yu's face, and his tone was calm as usual.
Liu Bian was very happy today. He stood up and said, "That's it for today."
When Wang Yun saw it, he raised his hand hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo..."
Liu Bian waved his hand to stop Wang Yun's words.
Not only Wang Yun was unwilling to give in, but Yang Biao, Xun You and others also wanted to continue to remonstrate, and watched helplessly as Liu Bian left.
A group of more than ten people looked at each other, speechless, and could only leave Jiade Hall one after another.
Just as he walked out of the door, Pan Yin suddenly chased him out from inside, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Servant Xun, Your Majesty invites you."
Xun Yu was still following Xun You, talking in a low voice. When he heard the words, he turned around and walked towards Pan Yin.
Pan Yin smiled at him and walked straight towards Xun You, Zhong Yao, He Yong and others.
Xun You was a little closer to this Da Changqiu than the others. He raised his hand and asked doubtfully: "This is Da Changqiu?"
Pan Yin smiled more and more, walked very close, held his hands and whispered: "Miss Cai is pregnant."
Xun You, Zhong Yao and He Yong were startled when they heard this, Cai Xiaoniang? Cai Yong’s daughter? What does her pregnancy have to do with them?
Zhong Yao looked at Pan Yin's face, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he stepped forward with a serious expression, and also whispered: "Is it your Majesty's?"
Pan smiled silently.
Xun You, He Yong and others then reacted and recalled that Liu Bian ran out of the palace from time to time. They couldn't help but get excited. They looked at each other with excitement written all over their faces.
The emperor's heirs have always been extremely important and can be called the 'foundation of the country', especially at a time like this!
If Cai Yan gives birth to a prince, the atmosphere in the court will change drastically!
Seeing the expressions of several people, Pan Yin turned around and said to Xun Yu: "Servant Xun, please follow me."
Xun Yu kept his expression calm and followed Pan Yin towards Jingfu Hall.
Please give me a monthly pass. Please give me a monthly pass~~
