In Zhao Hanyue's surprised and expectant gaze, Wei Xuanmo nodded.

He took out a letter from his arms.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you still remember that your master has a younger brother."

"Wei Xuanwen and Wei Jijiu?"

Wei Xuanmo nodded again, and suddenly sighed: "Fifteen years ago, he resigned from the Emperor's post as the imperial concubine and left Sifeng City. Even the teacher doesn't know where he went."

"I received a letter from him today."

Zhao Hanyue was even more surprised because Wei Jijiu's reputation in the Yue Kingdom was no less than that of his husband Wei Xuanmo!

Even Wei Jijiu became a Yue scholar earlier!
  Fifteen years ago... Zhao Hanyue was only about two years old, so she had not met Wei Xuanwen, but she had heard stories about him later.

That is a arrogant old scholar!
  He spent his whole life fighting for education in Yue!
  He advocated breaking down barriers to education and believed that education should be like sunshine, bathing everyone in Vietnam!
  This is the equality of education for all people in Vietnam!

But his thinking was obviously divorced from reality.

Studying is a very luxurious thing and requires spending a lot of money!
  The country of Yue has a population of more than [-] million, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and farmers are the largest number in every country.

Their children cannot afford to study at all!

Being able to learn a few words and calculate the simplest accounts in a private school is already their dream.

Wei Jijiu traveled around, hoping that the merchants and dignitaries of the Yue Kingdom could use their money to run a charity school, but his mother and concubine said that he had hit a wall everywhere and had nothing to show for it.

Then, he met his father and hoped that his father could allocate money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to do this.

Of course he failed to do so.

Because my father believed that if all the children of farmers were educated and wanted to seek official positions, then who would cultivate those fields?

The biggest advantage of Yue over Wu and Ning is food!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and food is more important than anything else!

There is no shortage of scholars in Vietnam!
  The country of Yue even needs more farmers!

Finally, I heard that Wei Jijiu was depressed and drank to soothe his sorrows all day long. Then he wrote to his father to resign from the position of Jijiu Jiu and left Sifeng City alone.

Fifteen years have passed since then.

Today, Mr. Wei received a letter from Wei Jijiu. This is indeed something that makes him happy.

But what does this matter have to do with Chen An?
  Wei Xuanmo stroked his long beard and said:
  "He spent two years traveling to the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Ning... and finally went to the Kingdom of Ning!"

"Went to Yingzhou on the North Desert Road of Ningguo and settled in Qingshi Town in Xuhuai County, Yingzhou!"

Zhao Hanyue was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know where Qingshi Town in Xuhuai County was, but she knew that Beimo Road was the most remote and poorest road in Ningguo.

Wei Jijiu settled down there...

She was suddenly shocked. Li Chenan went from Annan Road to Beimo Road. He heard that he was going to rescue Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess of Ning Kingdom...

She leaned over and asked quickly:

"Wei Jijiu met Chen An in Qingshi Town?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Hanyue's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wider. She had not yet received the final news about Li Chenan's rescue of Ning Chuchu, and she was extremely worried because she knew how powerful the Great Wilderness cavalry was.

And Li Chenan traveled thousands of miles, and it was said that the people he brought with him were only [-] riders!
  That is extremely dangerous!
  What's more, the Privy Council said that the shortest distance from Youzhou in the Ning Kingdom to Nanxi State in the Wilderness Kingdom is through Death Valley!
  Privy Council Master Feng Boxi said that the Death Valley Flying Bird was difficult... This made Zhao Hanyue increasingly worried.

It would take about a month and a half for Wei Jijiu's letter sent from the North Desert Road in Ning State to arrive at Sifeng City in Kyoto, Yue State.

In more than a month, has Li Chenan safely passed through Death Valley?
  Did you rescue Ning Chuchu from the pursuit of the Great Wilderness Cavalry?

The spies who wanted to come to the Privy Council were about to send him news.

"Then...what did Wei Jijiu say in the letter?"

Wei Xuanmo smiled slightly: "On the eighth day of July, it rained heavily in Qingshi Town."

"Li Chenan led five hundred black-armored cavalry to Qingshi Town. It was already dusk and there was nowhere to camp. In order to take shelter from the rain, he came to Yonghao Academy in Qingshi Town..."

"My younger brother has been a teacher at Yonghao Academy for more than ten years...he is the only teacher!"

"This is how Xuan Wen met Li Chenan for the first time."

"The two of them held a candlelight conversation at night and talked a lot about the national economy and the people's livelihood...the suffering of the country, the hardships of the people, etc." "Of course, Xuanwen also mentioned his former ideal in front of Li Chen'an...Xuanwen said in the letter Without going into details, he just said that Li Chenan might be able to do what he wished for."

"The two chatted until dawn, and Li Chenan wrote a poem because of his feelings..."

Wei Xuanmo pushed the piece of paper in front of Zhao Hanyue.

"Your Highness, look at this poem he wrote!"

Of course Zhao Hanyue was happy, after all, it had been a long time since she had received his poems.

On such a rainy night and on such a heavy topic, what kind of poem would he write?

Zhao Hanyue took the piece of paper and lowered her gaze, not noticing that the water in the teapot had boiled.

There was smoke floating up, making her face a little blurry.

Her little mouth kissed:
  ""Hillside Goat"..."

"The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road.

Looking west, hesitated.

Sad Qin and Han Scriptures, all the palaces have made earth.

Xing, the people suffer

Death... the people are suffering! "

Wei Xuanmo took a handful of tea leaves and put it into the teapot. He looked up and saw Zhao Hanyue's frozen expression.

"Prosperity, people suffer. Death...people suffer!"

"Your Highness, I still underestimated Li Chenan!"

Wei Xuanmo let out a long sigh and said again leisurely:

"Although he amazed my teacher two years ago in Jade City, the capital of Ningguo, in my opinion, it was just his unparalleled talent..."

"Then he became the regent of Ning State, re-appointed Wen Boiyu and others, and formulated national policies for Ning State to boost industry and commerce. Then he left the temple and went to Shuzhou."

"Later, news came from the top of the Western Mountain in Shuzhou... My teacher also thought that he had died young, so he felt that God was jealous of talented people."

"Even so, I think he was a man who knew people well and took care of them, and he was a very emotional person. Regarding his death in Xishan, Shuzhou... I really feel sorry for him, but it's just a pity."

"But no one expected that it was a plan for him to escape from his shell!"

"He did not die. He cured Zhongli Ruoshui's illness, and signed an alliance agreement with the Kingdom of Wu. Emperor Wu even betrothed his beloved Princess Qin to him..."

Wei Xuanmo didn't notice that Zhao Hanyue felt a pain in his heart at this time, lowered his gaze, and said again:
  "He came back from the Kingdom of Wu and went to Bei Mo Road for the fourth princess Ning Chuchu. That's how he met Xuanwen by chance in Qingshi Town."

"This poem... Xuanwen likes it very much, and he was deeply shocked by it as a teacher!"

Wei Xuanmo poured tea, handed a cup to Zhao Hanyue, leaned over and whispered:

"Li Chenan's talent can bring peace to the world!"

"Xuanwen wrote this letter not only to show me this poem, but also to tell me that if things don't go his way in Yue, it would be better to go to Ning..."

"Master, I thought about it for a long time today, and then decided to come and see His Highness!"

Zhao Hanyue looked up at Wei Xuanmo in shock.

"Sir, do you intend to go to Ningguo?"

Wei Xuanmo sighed and nodded.

"...When are you going to leave, sir?"

"Leave tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?"

"You will leave sooner or later, it is better to leave sooner."

Zhao Hanyue's expression suddenly darkened.

She lowered her head slightly and picked up the tea cup but did not take a sip.

"Mr. Qiao...why doesn't he leave?"

Wei Xuanmo put down the tea cup, "My teacher also asked him, and he said it's not the time yet." (End of Chapter)
