Han emperor system

Chapter 18
"The prince's words make Liu Tao better than ten years of reading after listening to it. I don't think the prince needs to hire any teacher to teach him. You can already be a teacher for others."

"Lord Liu is too modest, but Liu Bian asked his father to call Master Cai back to Beijing as a teacher, but unexpectedly his father refused to agree. I hope Lord Liu can help me persuade my father on this matter."

"Liu has also heard that the Holy Majesty sent Lu Shangshu to teach the prince, but he did not expect Lu Shangshu to go up to the court today, saying that his ability is not enough to teach the prince. It seems that the prince is false to ask for a teacher. , it is true that you want to find a chance to rescue Master Cai back to the capital."

"That's right, it's very difficult for Mr. Cai, a scholar, to be exiled in exile in northern Xinjiang. Letting him return to Beijing as soon as possible can save him from the hardship of exile. Moreover, Mr. Cai is very cautious by nature. All the disciples are very afraid of him, and when he returns to Luoyang, I believe those treacherous villains will restrain themselves."

"The prince is very kind. Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, many of them are old disciples of Mr. Cai. They have been trying to rescue Mr. Cai, but they were stopped by Shichang. If you can facilitate this, then the Manchu Dynasty Confucian scholars will be grateful to the prince."

"I don't need their gratitude, as long as Master Cai is safe. As for the courtiers, as long as they know what true loyalty is and who they should be loyal to."

"Prince, don't worry, I will tell them what the prince said, and they will support the prince to become the prince in the future."

At this time, the advising doctor Liu Tao saluted Liu Bian respectfully to express his respect in his heart, and Liu Bian returned the salute with a smile: "I will leave everything to Mr. Liu, and I will wait for your good news."

In the next few days, Emperor Ling sent Xun You, Chen Yan, Zheng Tai, Cui Lie, Liu Yu, Wang Yun and others to serve as Liu Bian's teachers, but Liu Bian targeted them one by one. Dizhi retreated.

Of course, Liu Bian did not make it known to the whole world that he wanted to rescue Cai Yong. For those courtiers who were not Confucian scholars with unclear minds, he just used difficult problems to make them retreat, so the only one who knew his thoughts There are only Xun You, Chen Yan, and Zheng Tai.

Even in front of Wang Yun, Liu Bian didn't tell him what he thought, because he didn't know whether Wang Yun's insistence on killing Cai Yong in history was really because Cai Yong sighed for Dong Zhuo, or because there was some festival between them. .

However, when Wang Yun left, Liu Bian suddenly said a word: "Master Wang, Liu Bian ask one more question, how is Diao Chan?"

"Who is Diao Chan?" Who knows, but Wang Yun was at a loss, as if he didn't know Diao Chan at all, which made Liu Bian very surprised, and quickly said with an embarrassing smile:
"Oh, that's my memory, I remember wrong."

After Wang Yun left, Liu Bian carefully recalled the history. Diao Chan was originally a court lady, and later fled to Wang Yun's home during the Luoyang Rebellion, and she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Wang Yun. This should be a later thing.

"Then, Diao Chan should still be in the palace at this time, and she shouldn't be very old. When I return to the palace in two months, I must find her, and let the queen mother arrange her in my palace, and come up with a palace maid training plan."

Liu Bian secretly became anxious, because it has been fifteen days since Emperor Ling made such a fuss, and he still hasn't let go to let Cai Yong return to Beijing, and half a month is the deadline for the task, so he has to hurry .

"No, I have to ask my mother to urge my father, and I have to go to the house of Cai Dashi to see if I can think of any way."

Liu Bian then asked Shi Daoren to go to the palace to meet Empress He, and at the same time he took Liu Guan and Zhang to visit the family of Cai University scholar. Huang Zhong led him around to protect Liu Bian.

Now among the soldiers of the Yulin Army, the first nearly one hundred soldiers were completely loyal to Liu Bian, and among the later five hundred soldiers of the Yulin Army, dozens of them were also loyal to him, because Liu Bian gave them rewards from time to time, And usually they are very concerned about the situation of their families, knowing who has any difficulties in their families, they will immediately donate generously.

So now Liu Bian's merit has reached more than 500 points again, and his faith has reached more than 120 points, and he finds that he can increase his merit by more than ten points every day, and at the same time, his faith can also increase by a little more.

Cai Yong's home is not far from Yong'an Palace Waibu and Li Streets, about three streets away. It is a small household with about ten houses. The front door is very deserted and the door is closed.

During this period of time, because Liu Bian often sent people to help them, their life was much easier, and there were a few old ladies and maids sent by Liu Bian to take good care of them.

Of course, Cai Yong's old mother, wife and daughter also knew that the one who helped them was Liu Bian, the current eldest prince, and Liu Bian did this because he wanted to worship Cai Yong as his teacher. For this reason, he had already rejected many ministers in the court. up.

Therefore, when they heard that the prince Liu Bian came to visit, the three grandparents and grandchildren did not avoid suspicion, and invited Liu Bian to the house, while Liu Guanzhang and the other three were in the hall, and naturally someone brought fragrant tea.

"The old man and his daughter-in-law thank the prince for his great kindness."

As soon as we met, Cai Yong's old mother was about to kneel down. Liu Bian hurriedly supported her, and said very kindly: "Lady Cai, you don't need to be polite. The Grand Scholar is the most famous Confucian in the world. Liu Bian has always admired her." , but I was young and ignorant before, so I couldn't help Master Cai when he was exiled. Now Liu Bian has some ability, so he wants to worship Master Cai as a teacher, and also wants to save Master Cai from the suffering of being displaced. But looking at it now Come on, there are too many treacherous and villainous people around the father, and the eunuchs like Shi Changshi will definitely stop this matter, so I don't know if it can be done."

"It turns out that the prince intends to save Yong'er from the sea of ​​suffering. I am so ignorant that I am ashamed. Yan'er, please thank His Royal Highness on behalf of grandma and your father."

As soon as Liu Bian came in, he saw Cai Wenji hiding behind his grandma and mother. At this time, Cai Wenji was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was still in her prime. No wonder she can become a talented woman.

At this time, under the urging of her grandma, Cai Wenji had no choice but to come to Liu Bian, and gave a blessing: "Cai Yan, thank you Your Highness, if you can save my father from the sea of ​​suffering, Cai Yan is willing to be a slave and a maidservant to repay Your Highness." His great kindness and virtue."

While talking, Cai Wenji raised her head to observe Liu Bian, and found that the prince in front of her was a handsome young man, not much older than herself, but there was a majesty on his body, and his eyes were clear, with a smile on his face, which made her Feel good at first sight.
