Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 45
"Emperor Xian came to the throne, and the world was in chaos. Kang and Meng sent filial and honest officials to pay tribute to the court. He issued an imperial edict to encourage labor, added loyal and righteous generals, and was awarded two thousand stones." - "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Lu Kang"

In January, after various ceremonial activities ended, the court officially resumed daily operations.

Xu Jiashu rewrote the Xiping Stone Classics in regular script at home.

The settlement rewards for the last two simulations included calligraphy experience. Although it was not enough to be condensed into a new label, it also made him feel like he was being assisted by a god when he wrote, and his efficiency improved more than a little.

At this speed, Xu Jiashu felt that he could see the little emperor faster than in the simulation.

He was temporarily prepared to act according to the choice in the simulation - at least until he rescued Liu Ying.

It is very different from other simulated objects. This eldest princess has disappeared from history, and even her name is not preserved in later generations. She is Liu Hong’s unfavored eldest daughter, and she is also a tool used by Li Ru to control the emperor. It's not "Liu Ying" alone.

Xu Jiashu didn't want to sit idly by.

This is why he chose to give Liu Ying the memory fragment of the night he escaped from Yuntai.

Freedom is where it all starts, and there is no better gift than that.

As for what to do next, who knows, Xu Jiashu after uploading the simulation record is not the Regent Xu who stayed with the Queen for his whole life. In reality, he is just a doctor of the Five Classics who has no feelings.

"Xu Zimao!"

Cai Yan's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the work at hand.

"Why don't you go to teach at Taixue University?" Miss Cai's upper body maintained the decent posture that a lady should have, but her feet were not slow at all, floating behind him like a magnetic levitation, "Sun Zi told me that he wanted to go back to school again. Just kick a ball!"

During the simulation, Xu Jiashu spent all his free time practicing calligraphy and did not hesitate to neglect Cai Yan. From then on, the two never met again.

But in reality, with the settlement reward, he doesn't have to do this at all.

"Sun Zi?"

Xu Jiashu wondered why he didn't know that he knew such a person.

"That imperial student who scored three goals, that number one, have you forgotten?" Cai Yan curled his lips, inexplicably resentful: "Others like you, the new doctor, very much."

Unlike those classmates who relied on shelter to enter school, Sun Zi was a rare scholar.

This important minister of Cao Wei who was a hussar general in history lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. He came to Luoyang from Taiyuan to study alone. During this depressing and lonely youth, that football match was Sun Yat-sen's. There are only a few highlight moments.

Cai Yan had always despised the imperial students who clung to her, but she still took good care of a diligent and self-effacing young student like Sun Zi, so she took the initiative to ask Xu Jiashu when he would go back to teach "The Analects of Confucius".

By the way, I mean by the way, come here and take a look
"Okay!" Xu Jiashu didn't know who Sun Zi would be in the future, but Cai Yan came forward, and of course he wouldn't refuse this little thing - old man Cai is now his own boss, calling it a mentorship It’s no exaggeration to say that you are a mentor.

"But I have to go to Nangong first," he replied, "Let's wait another day."

The written manuscript must be read by Cai Yong first. After Cai Yong nodded, Xu Jiashu could hand it over to the stonemason to carve it into an inscription.

"Okay," Cai Yan said very sensibly without saying anything more, "My students are waiting for you to return to Taixue!"

"Know it--"

Xu Jiashu picked up the manuscript and was about to go out. After walking a few steps, he was pulled back by Miss Cai.

"It's freezing outside, so wear more clothes before you go!"

There is a kind of coldness that makes Miss Cai feel cold to you.

"it is good--"

He agreed casually and put on a large cloak.

"Have you brought the Iron Seal Talisman?"

"Bring—"

It was still a perfunctory tone. "You and I will ignore you!"

"Don't", Xu Jiashu rushed up to beg for mercy, and finally managed to coax Miss Cai back to sleep, but then he said more words, "Are you really angry?"

The result can be imagined
Seeing Cai Yan leaving in a rampaging state with movement speed +100% and anger value +100%, Xu Jiashu wiped his sweat silently - where is the gentle lady that he promised?
It’s all because of Old Man Cai’s incompetence in raising a daughter!

Then he walked all the way from Kaiyang Gate to Canglong Gate. When he showed the Iron Seal Talisman, he took a special look to see if the headless Sima was there today.

"You mean our Sima?" said the gatekeeper, "I have something to do today. He went to the Shangshutai on duty."

Something?

Hearing this, Xu Jiashu didn't think too much and walked straight to Dongguan.

"Zimao, come on, come on." When Cai Yong saw Xu Jiashu, he patted the seat next to him and greeted him enthusiastically, "Eat oranges, they are so sweet!"

The current court servant was currently nesting in Dongguan, sitting in a circle with a group of old Confucian scholars, peeling oranges and chatting. It didn't look like a place for studying history at all. Instead, it looked like an activity center for the elderly.

"And oranges?"

Xu Jiashu was stunned for a moment. The first month of the month was indeed the time to eat oranges, but wasn't the east side blocked? How could the oranges be transported to Luoyang?
"This was sent by Lu Jining, the prefect of Lujiang," Old Man Cai said cheerfully, "Everyone in Nangong has a share. I took advantage of their scheming to bring some more over and eat them quickly!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiashu was not polite. He sat cross-legged and took a hard look at feudalism.

Although the variety and taste cannot be compared with those of later generations, in this era, being able to peel and eat oranges around the stove in Luoyang's winter is a rare treat.

Your Dongguan welfare is pretty good!
"Hasn't the above plan already been done?"

Xu Jiashu was not idle, and did not forget to ask Nangong what happened today. If he remembered correctly, on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, the emperor had already received officials from all over the country.

"The emperor is just asking casually. The real plan is today. Wang Situ is presiding over the table."

Old Man Cai picked up the manuscript Xu Jiashu brought and answered casually.

Wang Situ was Wang Yun, and now he also served as Shangshu Ling as the Third Duke. At this time, besides Dong Zhuo himself, he was the top leader in the government affairs of the Luoyang court.

"Oh," Xu Jiashu asked casually. It had nothing to do with him as the class teacher. He might as well eat more oranges.

Gee.

Cai Yong read the manuscript carefully and looked at Xu Jiashu with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes - Why does this guy write so well?I originally wanted to give some advice, but now I have no sense of participation at all!

Fortunately, the old Confucian scholars on the side knew what was going on and praised Xu Jiashu's words. Then the conversation suddenly changed and all the credit was given to Cai Yong.

“It’s true that a great teacher makes a great disciple!!”

"Dragon Zhang Feng Zi!!"

"Yeah yeah."

There is no way. Xiu Shi was always a Qingshui Yamen in every dynasty. If he didn't lick Cai Shizhong to make him feel comfortable, how could they, the old Confucian scholars, get any oranges to eat?

Old Man Cai was so flattered that he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Zimao," he handed the manuscript to Xu Jiashu and ordered, "Show these to Wang Situ and see if he has any advice."

"After all, this is a national matter, so we can't be careless!"

Cai Yong's expression looked very serious, but Xu Jiashu always felt that he was suppressing a smile.

You just want to hear others praise you!
Since his mentor had spoken, he only dared to slander him, but he still had to do it.

"Go, go," Cai Yong urged. "There are many outstanding officials among the officials. It would be nice to see the world by the way."
