The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 339: By order of the Prime Minister, please invite your wife to the palace

"The Jixia Academy does not participate in politics and does not involve the court."

"The Jixia Academy was established specifically for the purpose of passing on civilization. Those who have mastered classics, history, literature, medicine, agriculture, and engineering can all enter the Jixia Academy."

"Anyone who enters the Jixia Academy is a master of the world and enjoys first-class treatment. It can be seen that the emperor does not worship him."

Qin Shou's voice rang out in the hall. Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui's breathing became rapid, and even Cai Yong's face showed a hint of excitement.

This is the highest reward given to writers, and not everyone in the world can get it.

"What do you think of the first batch of people who entered the Jixia Academy, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Ji?"

Qin Shou said with a smile.

"I think it is appropriate." Jia Xu said quickly.

"Mr. Yue is old and busy with state affairs, so it would be better for him to stay at the Jixia Academy." Qin Shou's eyes fell on Cai Yong. Although his face was ruddy, his head full of silver hair reminded him of his age.

"So good, so good."

Cai Yong was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed.

"My lord, I wonder who can be the Minister of Rites after Mr. Cai?" Sima Yi asked hurriedly.

"For the time being, Gu Yong will be appointed as the Minister of Rites." Qin Shou thought for a moment and said, "We will make a decision after we have dealt with Yuan Shao."

Qin Shou also knew what Sima Yi meant. He wanted to become the Minister of Rites, but Qin Shou didn't want to, at least not at this stage. It was because Sima Yi was too capable, and it was a waste to let him sit in the Ministry of Rites.

As for ambition, Qin Shou was not worried. He was younger than Sima Yi, so why should he care about the other's ambition?
"You two, what do you think?"

Qin Shou's gaze fell on Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan. He didn't believe that such treatment could not attract the other party?

The two looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation on their faces.

They wanted to agree, but agreeing so easily was obviously inconsistent with their personalities. These celebrities are all like this. They always want to be dignified at all times.

"Wenhe, have someone invite Pang Degong to come. He is also a famous person in Jingzhou and should be admitted to the Jixia Academy."

Qin Shou said with a smile.

"I obey my orders."

After hearing this, Jia Xu quickly responded, his eyes fell on Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui, feeling a wave of disdain in his heart. It was already this late, and yet they were still putting on airs.

From Jia Xu's understanding of Qin Shou, the Jixia Academy was definitely more than just a place of elegance and nobility, but now it seems that elegance and nobility is all that is left.

These people put on a high and mighty attitude, and would not come out unless Qin Shou asked them three or four times. Who is Qin Shou?
I have handed you the ladder and given you so many benefits, but you haven't taken this matter to heart and haven't thought through the problems. How could I indulge you?
Agree if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't agree. Qin Shou won't kill you. Do you really think you are someone important by putting on airs in front of the Prime Minister?
"Come, enjoy the song and dance."

Qin Shou waved his hand, signaling for the singing and dancing to continue.

Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan both did not take this matter to heart, their eyes were on the book. Such a light book would soon cause a bloody storm throughout the Han Dynasty.

In the future, the whole world will be changed. Those high and mighty aristocratic families will fall into the dust.

The sounds of singing and dancing gradually disappeared, and Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui quickly left the palace and returned to the inn.

"Haha, these celebrities, you all saw it! I treated them with such courtesy, but they didn't take it to heart and still put on airs!" Qin Shou looked at the backs of the two people leaving and felt a hint of murderous intent in his heart.

Jia Xu chuckled and said quickly, "My lord, most of these famous scholars are like this. They always put on airs no matter what time it is."

He thought of himself, and he was in the same situation at the beginning.

"These people are about to die, but they still rely on their talents and are arrogant. My lord, these people are not worthy of being called celebrities." Sima Yi said disdainfully.

"Liu Biao's widow has also come to Luoyang?" Qin Shou suddenly asked.

"They are in Luoyang. They will leave from Luoyang tomorrow and go to Shanyang to bury Liu Biao. According to the servants around Madam Cai, Liu Cong plans to observe mourning for three years." Sima Yi said quickly. "It is said that Zhuge Liang's wife is ugly. Has Zhongda seen her?"

Qin Shou suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't see it clearly along the way."

He sighed in his heart. It was said by everyone that the prime minister was fond of women. Today he saw that it was true. From Liu Biao's widow to Zhuge Liang's wife, everyone was curious.

"Kong Ming, if you don't show up again, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect even my wife." Sima Yi thought to himself.

"The war is imminent, the night is long, and I have no desire to sleep!"

Qin Shou sighed, turned and left.

The three people behind him looked at each other, and Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, look, who is it?"

The three of them were all smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning of Qin Shou's words.

"Do you want Huang Chengyan to cause trouble for us?" Jia Xu asked.

Yang Xiu immediately understood the reason and he and Sima Yi looked at each other.

"Then I'll go see Mrs. Cai!"

Sima Yi could only smile bitterly, thinking that it was he who brought Madam Cai back.

"My lord is wise and brave, and he trusts us very much. This is just his hobby. It's not against morality, so it's no big deal." Jia Xu comforted him indifferently.

The two of them nodded immediately after hearing this. It seemed that Qin Shou really had no other hobbies, so this little problem was nothing.

In the inn, Mrs. Cai was dressed in mourning clothes, and under the candlelight, she looked particularly beautiful.

"Madam, Lord Sima is here."

A maid's voice came from outside.

Mrs. Cai glanced at the sky outside, and her pretty face suddenly changed color. It was already late at night, and Sima Yi came to see her at this time, which was not a serious meeting.

But can I refuse?
"Please go to the main hall to talk."

Mrs. Cai thought about it and spoke in a deep voice.

Faced with this situation, she had no way to refuse.

He just secretly regretted it in his heart. This was the consequence of losing Liu Biao. Even a small Sima Yi could bully him.

"Your humble servant Sima Yi pays respect to Madam."

When Sima Yi saw Madam Cai, he was shocked. Although she had given birth to Liu Cong, Madam Cai at this moment exuded a sense of charm, like a ripe peach.

"Master Sima, I am grateful for your visit so late at night. What can I do for you?"

Mrs. Cai took a deep breath. She noticed Sima Yi's gaze and felt ashamed.

"By order of the Prime Minister, please invite Madam to the palace."

Sima Yi said quickly.

"Prime Minister? Then lead the way!"

Mrs. Cai's eyes lit up and she looked surprised, but she finally agreed.
