After hearing Le Jin's words.

Lu Zhi also nodded happily.

Although he identified himself, he would not agree to Cao Ang's request to come out of the mountain to help.

After all, there was no close relationship between him and Cao Ang. At most, he had admiration and praise for this young man.

Secondly, at the moment, my physical condition is already very bad, so I mobilize people to run from Youzhou to Dongjun, and maybe I will be on all fours halfway along the way.

But since Cao Ang has sent a letter.

It doesn't matter if you read it yourself, it's more or less a kind of respect for others.

He cut open the sealing wax with a knife, and took out three silk books hidden in the letter box.

Looking at the densely packed text on it, Lu Zhi first squinted his eyes, and then patiently read through it.

"The world is in chaos, the imperial court is exhausted, the Dong thief usurpers, coerces the emperor, and threatens the princes. The prestige of the Han Dynasty can be said to be exhausted, and the people of the world do not know that there is a king."

"At this time when the world is hesitating and the common people are in distress, it is not enough to help the Han Dynasty and save the people from the fire and water without a generation of great talents, great virtues and great abilities."

The letter first explained the crisis and predicament that the Han Dynasty was facing.

Seeing Lu Zhi, he nodded one after another.

His complexion couldn't help but become a little dignified.

But as he continued to read down, Cao Ang changed his style of writing and caught Lu Zhi flattering him.

"Gongxinyi has been written all over the world, and its reputation is famous all over the world. The literature can help the country, and the martial arts can overcome the troubled times. It is the generation of great talents, great virtues, and great abilities. Today's chaos in the world, non-public is not enough to turn the tide! "

……

Everyone likes to hear good things.

Even an old comrade like Lu Zhi couldn't help nodding his head slightly after seeing Cao Ang's praise of him.

The slightly dignified expression on his face was replaced by a smile at this moment.

But that's it.

After all, with Lu Zhi's identity and status, there are so many praises from all over the world, and how few people even flatter him?
In his whole life, he really didn't know how many people praised him. Among them, there were many people with status, even official positions, who were far beyond the current situation of Cao Ang.

Therefore, what Cao Ang wrote in the letter can only be said to be plain in meaning.

Not enough to make Lu Zhi change his mind.

Raising his head, and after glancing at Le Jin, Lu Zhi lightly patted the silk book he had read earlier on the table.

Then he shook his head calmly and said: "Your family's lord has really praised me too much, and the words are full of sincerity, which shows that it is a sincere invitation."

"It's just that right now, I'm already tired of the world's affairs. Instead of being in it, I might as well live in seclusion until I die and don't care about world affairs."

"So although good words are good, I don't do them!"

This is a more polite way of saying it.

The implication is that although the words are nice, but more than one person has said that to me, a few words alone are not enough to change my mind.

Regarding this, Le Jin's face remained unchanged.

He just chuckled pretending to be honest, and then waited for Lu Zhi to continue reading the next two silk books.

……

In the second letter.

Cao Ang released heavy news.

"In the past, the old emperor was abolished by the usurping Dong thief, and there were rumors in the world that the old emperor and the old queen mother might have been harmed by Dong thief and died in Luoyang."

"Actually, before Dong Zhuo made his move, I had already bribed the perpetrators in the palace, and rescued several venerables as a subterfuge."

"Right now, the emperor, the empress dowager, and even the imperial concubine are all in Puyang County, East Commandery. The Han Dynasty is orthodox, and we still need the help of the public!"

A few simple words.

The amount of information can be described as huge.

Lu Zhi was shocked at the first glance.

The eyes that were still a little sleepy and cloudy at the moment are now concentrated, staring at the letter paper.

The faint drowsiness from before.

Now it has disappeared without a trace.

This... the ex-emperor who was demoted as King Hongnong and was rumored to be brutally murdered by Dong Zhuo is still alive, and together with the Queen Mother, he is living a safe and secure life under the protection of Cao Ang.

How could this not surprise Lu Zhi?

……

After carefully inspecting several engraved seals stamped on the silk book, Lu Zhi can be sure that these seals are from the hands of authentic seals.

If it is a single or two pieces, there may still be a possibility of counterfeiting, or Cao Ang obtained one or two of them alone through some channel.

But right now there are a total of four seals here.

The emperor, the queen mother, the princess, the imperial concubine.

It's almost impossible to own this kind of one-pot posture for the whole family, or to fake it by luck.

Therefore, Lu Zhi tended to believe that this matter was true.

After confirming this fact, Lu Zhi fell into a long silence.

In fact, even though he is far away in Youzhou, Lu Zhi does not have his own news channels.

His students are all over the world, and I don't know how many of them have held certain official positions in various states and counties.

Throughout the year, there will always be some correspondence, and even visits in person.

Therefore, Lu Zhi also knew about Liu Bian's death by Dong Zhuo.

He still remembers that when he got the news, he drank three bowls to get drunk and cried three times to express his condolences.

Although Lu Zhi was not very satisfied with Liu Bian, the young emperor, let alone how close the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was.

But because Liu Bian, as the former emperor, died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, which was a merciless trampling and even crushing of the dignity of the Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi was naturally saddened in his heart.

But now someone told him that the venerables were not dead and were well protected. The biggest thought in Lu Zhi's mind was naturally gratification.

The second is that Cao Ang, who saved the emperor and the queen mother, has a very strong praise.

……

Just after thinking for a moment.

After all, Lu Zhi shook his head helplessly.

Even if there is an emperor in Puyang City, Lu Zhi doesn't have much interest now.

I can't bear it physically, that's the most important thing.

Secondly, even with the existence of the old emperor, Lu Zhi didn't feel that he could use his hand to realize the peace of the world and restore the regrets of life in the Han Dynasty, so he ran to Dongjun in a hurry, as if There is no great need.

It's better to spend your old age in this thatched cottage.

After thinking about it for a while.

Lu Zhi sighed, and then asked Le Jin, "Do you know what is written on this silk script?"

Le Jin naturally shook his head in denial.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi folded the silk book carefully, and then said to Le Jin with a look of bitterness on his face, looking helpless.

"To tell you the truth, if you sent this letter a few months ago, I must have packed up my bags and followed you, but I'm afraid I can't do it now."

"Recently, my health has been deteriorating. I don't have enough food and sleep. I don't even have enough energy to give lectures to students on weekdays, let alone go to Dongjun now."

"With my current body, I think it's not enough to travel long distances, to work hard, and it's not enough to contribute to the great cause of your family's lord."

"So, the old man can only express regret!"

……

Lu Zhi's oil and salt did not enter.

Le Jin also felt a bit of a headache.

But he always kept Cao Ang's instructions in mind.

Therefore, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, just bowed his hands respectfully to Lu Zhi, and spoke calmly.

"You might as well read the last silk script. If you still insist on resigning, then I will leave without saying a word, and get up and leave immediately!"

Lu Zhi nodded slightly.

He didn't think Cao Ang could write any flowers on the last piece of letter paper.

After all, even Liu Bian was still alive, such breaking news had already been released.

Then what other content is there that is enough to impress this old comrade?
"Shh!"

Opened the last silk book.

The text content on this letter paper is the least, only a few sentences, but these few lines of text made Lu Zhi feel shocked.

In the originally dim eyes, there was a burst of dazzling excitement immediately, even the eyeballs protruded slightly, obviously the mood was extremely agitated.

Moreover, the content on this page seemed to have some kind of power, which made Lu Zhi sit upright, his back straightened up, completely no longer the old and weak appearance before.

The right hand holding the letter paper was trembling uncontrollably, and the lips could not help but move up and down, feeling that it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

This attitude.

It even scared Le Jin.

What exactly did the general write in the letter? Lu Shangshu looks like his heart is about to jump out of his chest, so don't wait for anything to happen!
……

"Zixun, Zixun!"

Le Jin's worries were obviously unnecessary.

Lu Zhi gradually calmed down after experiencing some emotional turmoil, but soon opened his voice again, shouting towards the outside of the bamboo house full of spirit.

Not long after.

The disciple who brought the food earlier walked in quickly and saluted Lu Zhi respectfully.

But before the students could open their mouths, Lu Zhi had already taken the lead.

"Zixun, my teacher's appetite has increased, hurry up and bring me some food!"

Speaking of which.

Lu Zhi suddenly remembered something.

Then he hurriedly added: "The honored guest has come from afar, and he must have never eaten lunch. You should prepare an extra portion, and I will eat with the honored guest today for the sake of the teacher!"

After reading the whole letter, even Le Jin's treatment at Lu Zhi's place suddenly improved a lot, directly to the point of eating together.

And Gao You, a disciple called Zixun.

At the moment, he didn't think so much.

On the contrary, the face was full of surprises and surprises, the whole person was visible to the naked eye, and the spirit was lifted.

The teacher has been sluggish for several days in a row, and has not eaten normally for a long time. Even if he eats at dinner time, he just eats a little casually.

Today it is rare to say that I have a big appetite.

How can this not make him, a student, feel sincerely happy?
"I understand, I'm going to prepare meals now, teacher, please wait with the distinguished guests later!"

"It won't be long, the disciple will come right away!"

……

Wait until the students leave.

Lu Zhi first said to Le Jin in a resolute tone: "After lunch, I will let the students pack their things and go to Dongjun with you!"

No other excessive words.

Lu Zhi directly changed his attitude, readily agreed to Cao Ang's invitation to him, and resolutely decided to go out to help Cao Ang.

But facing this old comrade, Le Jin was really surprised by the huge contrast in his attitude before and after.

I really don't know what the general wrote in the letter.

It can have such an effect!

Le Jin couldn't help feeling admiration for this mansion whom he had defected to for a short time.

He became more and more determined to closely follow Cao Ang's footsteps and always surround Cao Ang's will.

of course.

Even if you are curious.

Le Jin would never inquire about the contents of the letter, this was his duty as a subordinate.

……

What do you think about Le Jinzuo who is sitting opposite.

Lu Zhi didn't pay too much attention.

Instead, he opened the letter paper again and read it silently again as if he had found a treasure.

It can be said that there are thousands of thoughts in my heart, and my mind is even more turbulent. There is a feeling of depression that has accumulated in my chest for many years, and I can finally express it at this moment.

In fact, there are not many complicated words written in the letter.

Just two short paragraphs.

"If you agree to come out to help me, I would like to recommend you as the teacher of the old emperor, and help him ascend the throne again in the future. At that time, you will be the teacher of the emperor."

"And as an emperor and teacher, you can give full play to your strengths and show your ambitions, such as the study of ancient Chinese classics that you never forget!"

That's two paragraphs.

It was almost like a fatal blow.

It directly hit Lu Zhi's Achilles' heel.

It can be said that it was handled to death.

As a world-renowned Confucianist, when Lu Zhi felt that his time was running out, there were actually two regrets that were not realized.

One is that the Han Dynasty was not yet prosperous, and the world was not clear.

The other is the grand wish of his life, which is to revive ancient classics in the current era when Jinwen Confucianism occupies the absolute mainstream.

The latter is quite difficult.

……

Because the first emperor was not interested in ancient Chinese classics.

In other words, I don't have much interest in the study of Confucian classics, and I don't mean to support anyone or suppress anyone. Everything is just letting it go.

Therefore, even though Lu Zhi exhausted most of his strength in his life, he has gained the top reputation in the world.

The achievements in the revival of ancient Chinese classics are still negligible. After all, this is a confrontation with the mainstream of an entire era.

Without the support of the imperial court and the royal family, wouldn't it be as difficult as reaching the sky with his own strength?
If it wasn't for his proficiency in literature and martial arts, and showing his face in front of the late emperor several times in succession, I am afraid that even this insignificant achievement may not be able to be preserved.

And just when Lu Zhi thought that this lifelong ambition would never have a chance to be realized, and would be taken underground with him, becoming an eternal regret.

Cao Ang gave him a chance!
I am willing to ask him to be the teacher of the emperor!

……

There is no doubt that if he can serve as the emperor's teacher and persist until the day Liu Bian is re-established as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Many of Lu Zhi's propositions will be implemented to a certain extent under the will of the emperor and the court's inclination.

Even if he was unfortunate, he didn't live to that day.

Even after he arrived in Puyang County and until his death, he could have subtly reformed the emperor's mind.

As long as he perseveres in outputting thoughts to Liu Bian and exerts a profound and lasting influence on him.

That's to be expected.

In the future, even if Lu Zhi leaves first, Liu Bian will take some measures to revive the study of ancient Chinese classics because of his role as a teacher.

Lu Zhi had no doubts.

That is the present opportunity, which will be his only hope of realizing his greatest ambition in life.

If he misses the opportunity.

That will be a lifelong regret until death.

That's why he went uncharacteristically, resolutely changed his mind, and decided to go to Puyang City with Le Jin.

And at the same time.

Lu Zhi also felt that his whole body was full of strength, not only his appetite was greatly stimulated, but also his energy was concentrated a lot, as if he was rejuvenated.

The time limit that I could feel from time to time is approaching, but now it has been eliminated a lot.

This is not to say that Lu Zhi's body has improved a lot for no reason, but an instinctive maintenance mechanism.

Lu Zhi had a strong desire to live until the emperor came to power.

In any case, at least he had to persist until he arrived at Puyang City alive and taught the emperor for a period of time before he fell down.

Otherwise everything is in vain!
……

Regarding what happened in the distant Youzhou.

Cao Ang didn't know.

But he is still very confident about what he has listed on the three pieces of letter paper.

Progressively, step by step.

The real killer move is the last silk book.

As long as Lu Zhi read the letter completely, and he still has the ability to act, then he will definitely be tempted by it, and set off immediately.

And speaking of which.

Cao Ang had no choice but to give him a big praise for his quick wit.

The queen mother and the princess hope that Cao Ang will find a good teacher with both ability and political integrity for the emperor, and there is nothing wrong with paying some price for this.

Cao Ang, on the other hand, made it a condition to invite Lu Zhi to be the emperor's teacher.

Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the country and one of the top three generals in the late Han Dynasty, was abducted to work for him.

Use the emperor's needs to make Lu Zhi's price tag.

There was no cost in the middle, and Cao Ang didn't pay anything, but he got Lu Zhi's service and the satisfaction of the queen mother and princess at the same time.

This wave is a two-way take-all, up-and-down take-all, and it's an out-and-out, no-cost, huge-profit deal!
……

The first day of the new year of the Han dynasty.

With the turning of the time roulette, the footsteps of the Great Han Dynasty moved forward again.

It officially entered 191 AD, which is the second year of Chuping, and it has been one year and four months since Cao Ang came to this era.

That night.

The carriage of the prefect's mansion was driving on the main road.

Before the New Year's Eve, Cao Ang specially ordered someone to custom-build an ultra-luxury carriage.

There were eight people sitting in its spacious compartment, including Cao Ang and his three concubines, Cai Yan whose identity was temporarily doubted, and the three female relatives of the Queen Mother's family.

All in the car at the moment.

This is a big gathering organized by Cao Ang. Taking advantage of the rare festive scenery, he simply went out for a tour, which can be regarded as a relief from the boredom of staying in the mansion all day.

What's more, Cao Ang will be ignited later, 1088 giant fireworks will be set off, and you will definitely not be able to see anything in the mansion, so naturally you have to go to an open place to watch.

In fact, there should have been another emperor present.

It's just that the little emperor Liu Bian really couldn't bear such a happy time, and had to stay with elders like his mother and sister.

It was worse than killing him.

What's more, after coming to Puyang City, Empress Dowager He set a lot more rules for her son, and her control over him was a bit stricter.

On weekdays, the pressure is too hard.

Now it is rare to come across an opportunity to relax, how could Liu Bian be restrained in place with peace of mind?
Early on, he led a group of guards and sneaked into the bustling crowds of Puyang City, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

……

As the curtains on both sides of the carriage opened.

The bustling scene in the city gradually caught everyone's eyes.

The entire Puyang County, under the deliberate arrangement of the county government and the county government, can be described as extremely lively.

Both sides of the main streets and alleys are covered with red lanterns, making the originally dark streets bright and dazzling like daylight.

And in the streets and alleys except the main road, there are also a large number of people who set up stalls and go to the market.

The former is a quick-witted small business hawker. After inquiring about the New Year's Eve in Puyang County in advance, after preparing to celebrate and have a lot of fun, Dang even prepared a large number of items to sell.

Most of them are handicrafts and even food.

There are many categories, dizzying.

As for the latter, quite a few of them are aborigines in the city, and even rich and big families are willing to come out to catch up at such a lively time.

In addition, the farmers in the surrounding villages, although they don't have much money, even if they want to have fun, they come here happily.

"It's so lively!"

"Husband, can I go down and have a look!"

Among the girls, Dong Bai, who had the liveliest personality, rushed to Cao Ang's side first, grabbed his sleeve with his hands, and his eyes were full of hope.

And Cao Ang looked at it with a glance.

I saw that there are many graceful and luxurious women like the Queen Mother, and there is an expression of eagerness on the face at this moment.

Immediately smiled brightly.

Then he waved his hand and said: "If you want to go down for a stroll, you can start with me. If you want to be quiet, you can stay in the carriage!"

Anyway, there is still some time before the moment when the fireworks are set off, even if you walk all the way, there is still plenty of time.

The second half of the sentence is naturally to take care of a woman like Cai Yan who has a quiet personality and doesn't like crowds and noisy scenes.

Following what Cao Ang said.

Dong Bai immediately cheered, and under the protection of the guards, he got out of the carriage first.

After several people got off one after another, Cao Ang also jumped down.
