We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

"Are they those common people?"

"No!"

"They are those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, even thousands of years!"

"They are the worms in this world!"

Xi Yu’s voice was deafening!

The sound was like a loud bell ringing. Unknowingly, Cao Cao's expression became more and more solemn.

How could he not know the influence of the aristocratic family?

For the Han Dynasty to reach this point, the influence of these aristocratic families is not insignificant.

If it weren't for the control of the aristocratic family, why would the emperor want to promote those eunuchs.

Where did the disaster of more than ten years of party imprisonment come from?

Most aristocratic families have been corroding the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

"Reading is just for the sake of wisdom!"

"But those aristocratic families control the right to study, but use it as capital for promotion!"

"Doing this would already be going against the grain!"

"Confucius recruited three thousand disciples and opened up a wide range of schools, not for what he is doing now!"

Xi Yu's mouth was a little contemptuous. He had long been disdainful of the aristocratic family's practices.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stand up.

"Brother, most of today's scholars have lost their original intention!"

"What these aristocratic families call studying is nothing more than rushing to the court to fight for power and profit!"

"Whether it's the Yang family or the Yuan family, they have recruited so many disciples because of this!"

"What scholar has achieved something who is not elected from these aristocratic families!"

Xi Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth. This smile contained a hint of injustice towards ordinary people.

Cao Cao didn't speak, he stared blankly at Xi Yu in front of him.

At this moment, I heard the other party continue to speak.

"Brother, in my eyes, reading is the kind that helps the world."

"It is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the living people, to carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!"

He said too much in one breath until the last words came out of his mouth.

Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

But the last sentence seemed to explode in Cao Cao's mind at this moment.

Reading, for what?

Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!

This is so well said!

It was so good that Cao Cao's body was shaking.

The blood all over his body seemed to be resonating with it.

It turns out that this is what Fengyi was thinking!

The school he established was only for this purpose!

Cao Cao felt a little touched and was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, he no longer knew what to say.

He only knew that Xi Yu wanted to build a school and he had to follow it without any hesitation.

No one can stop him from starting this school.

Not anyone!

"good!"

After a long time, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said something.

Without many words, the two just looked at each other, as if they already understood what each other was thinking.

"In this case, I will advise Your Majesty in the future. If this school is righteous, just go ahead and do it!"

…

After leaving the Cao Mansion, Xi Yu felt quite a bit.

On the one hand, the school's troubles were solved, and on the other hand, the matter regarding Cai Yan was settled.

Grandpa Cao has adopted Cai Yan as his adopted daughter, which is extremely good.

Although Xi Yu didn't care, it was a good thing for Cai Yan after all.

The next day.

Grandpa Cao recruited Cai Yan as his adopted daughter in the palace, and the news soon spread.

Even Liu Xie in the Han Palace knew about it.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter has something to do with Xi Yu.

Liu Xie even threatened to personally act as a matchmaker for Xi Yu.

Late November.

Bright red ribbons were hung early on the long street in Xu County.

Xi Yu rides Cao Cao's favorite horse, Huang Feidian, with bright red fireworks tied on the horse's head.

The team accompanying them played and played, and the sound of joy spread throughout Xu County.

Today, Xiyu is getting married.

The entire lane where the actors are located is paved with red.

Everyone under Cao Ying's command came, including Yang Biao and others, who also sent congratulatory gifts.

During this trip, even Liu Bei, who was recruited from Juancheng, also attended Xi Yu's wedding banquet.

…

In early December, it snowed again in Xu County.

The coldness in the air became more obvious.

On that day, Cao Cao directly proposed Xi Yu's establishment of a school in the Han Palace Hall, and he fully supported it in his words.

After hearing this, Liu Xie subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu, who had come to court not long after his wedding.

Before Liu Xie could ask questions, Taiwei Yang Biao followed Cao Cao and stood up above the court.

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"

"What Da Sinong said about the school, I think it's unacceptable!"

"Academic institutions have existed since ancient times, so why not?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately asked back, his expression somewhat calm and intimidating.

Liu Xie did not speak, but Yang Biao was not afraid at all at this moment.

"As Sikong said, a school is a school and a school is a school. The two cannot be compared!"

"If the great minister is willing to build a school and a school, I will be able to do it!"

After all, in the eyes of Yang Biao and others, there is no problem if you Xiyu and Cao Cao want to build a school palace.

But that's not possible in a place like a school where civilians are recruited.

Liu Xie turned to look at Xi Yu: "What do you think, Qing Xi?"

"Your Majesty, all schools and palaces are for the purpose of teaching and educating people!"

"I don't understand, Lord Taiwei, why you want to stop it! Is it just because the school can recruit civilians?"

When Xi Yu finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to react.

Those eyes then fell on Liu Xie.

"It's difficult for your majesty to think that ordinary people in the Han Dynasty are not worthy of studying?"

"We are all your Majesty's subjects, and the people of the Han Dynasty are also your Majesty's subjects!"

"They are all subjects, so what does Your Majesty think?"

Xi Yu asked back, Liu Xie's expression was slightly frozen.

At the same time, Liu Bei, who was standing at the back of the court, unconsciously raised his head and looked at Xi Yu in front of him.

School?

He heard about this matter immediately after arriving in Xuchang from Juancheng.

In Liu Bei's opinion, what Xi Yu said made sense.

The common people of the Han Dynasty are also human beings. Why are they not qualified to study? It is puzzling because these people are not chosen or controlled by the aristocratic family.

Liu Bei quite agreed with Xi Yu's idea of ​​building a school.

However, it was not his turn to speak in the court at the moment.

Today's court meeting is the first time Liu Bei has attended the court meeting after arriving in Xuchang, and he has a lot of emotions in his heart.

At this time, Xi Yu opened his mouth to question.

The court suddenly became silent!

Yang Biao and others had no way to refute, so they opened their mouths and said, "Those people in Guizhou are not worthy of studying at all?"

Why?

As Xi Yu said, they were also subjects of the Han Dynasty.

Why don't you deserve it?

Yang Biao and others were silenced, and even Liu Xie, who was sitting in the hall, felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xi Yu said.

The essence of school is nothing more than teaching and educating people.

"What Xi Qing said makes sense!"

"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Just go ahead and do it, I agree!"

Yang Biao and others still wanted to say something, but as Liu Xie opened his mouth, the matter was settled.

At this time, Cao Cao came out and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I recommend a person who has outstanding abilities since the Yellow Turbans..."

Cao Cao's skill was naturally attributed to Liu Bei.

As Cao Cao opened his mouth, everyone in the court knew more or less clearly, but Liu Xie in the hall did not understand.

After hearing Cao Cao talk about this person's abilities, Liu Xie became somewhat interested.

"Who is Sikong talking about?"

"This person is in the court hall!"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to support his beard, and then turned to look at Liu Bei at the back of the court.

At this moment, Liu Bei was wearing court uniform. When he saw Cao Cao and the emperor, they both looked over and quickly took the initiative to stand out.

Liu Bei stood too far back. At this moment, Liu Xie looked at the opponent, opened his mouth and called for the opponent to come forward.

Liu Bei moved forward in small steps, and after entering the front of the hall, he immediately bowed to the red osmanthus in the hall.

"My lord, Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, pays homage to your majesty!"

When Liu Bei opened his mouth, he did not mention his position as Xuzhou Mu, but only mentioned that Tao Qian had recommended him to be the governor of Yuzhou.

When Liu Bei announced his name, Liu Xie suddenly became interested.

"Your surname is Liu too?"

In the Han Dynasty, the surname Liu is not something weird.

It's just that for Liu Xie today, he needs help so much. When he heard Liu Bei's surname Liu, he unconsciously thought about himself.

"Who is your ancestor, Qing?"

Before Liu Bei could respond, Liu Xie asked again.

As soon as he said these words, everyone in the court seemed to understand what Liu Xie meant.

It was obvious that Liu Xie was concerned about whether Liu Bei was related to him.

At this moment, someone couldn't help but glance at Xi Yu.

There was no reaction on Xi Yu's face.

The relationship between him and Liu Xie is not true at all.

As for Liu Bei and Liu Xie in front of them, they are really related.

Perhaps the relationship between the two is actually a bit far apart, but for Liu Xie or Liu Bei at this moment.

Is it important?

it is not important.

As long as Liu Xie knows that the Liu Bei in front of him is a member of his old Liu family, this alone is enough.

For him now, just having the surname Liu is already much closer to him.

When he was young, he could still rely on Liu Yu, Liu He and others.

However, Liu Yu died after all.

The return to the East, which was originally planned, was delayed for too long because of Liu Yu.

Nowadays, Liu Yu is no longer there, but Liu Bei is there again.

The other party's surname was Liu, and he was very capable, so how could he not be taken seriously by Liu Xie.

And for Liu Bei.

It is true that he is a member of the Han clan, but his status as a Han clan member is so far away that no one cares.

But now, when I met the emperor and heard him ask about my ancestors, I understood it in an instant.

The emperor needs him.

Liu Bei didn't hesitate at all. As Liu Xie finished speaking, he already responded.

"Your Majesty, I am the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, Queen Jing of Zhongshan, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong."

Liu Xie didn't pay attention to this series of responses. He only heard that the other party was a descendant of the royal family.

He is a Han clan clan member of the Han Dynasty and a relative of Liu Xie Zheng'er Bajing.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Xie turned his head and asked Han Zongzheng on the side.

"Check it out!"

After Zongzheng listened to the order, he immediately asked someone to carry out the genealogy of the Han clan, and the names of all the Han clan members were recorded on it.

"Read it to me!"

Seeing that Zongzheng had already taken out the genealogy, Liu Xie immediately asked him to read it out.

Zongzheng spoke.

"Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons, the seventh son was Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting, was born to Zhen, Liu Ang, the Marquis of Pei, Liu Lu, the Marquis of Zhang, Liu Lian, the Marquis of Yishui, Liu Ying, the Marquis of Yishui, Liu Ying, the Marquis of Qinyang, Liu Jian, the Marquis of Anguo, and Liu Ai, the Marquis of Guangling. , Ai gave birth to Glue Hou Liu Xian.

Xian was begotten Liu Shu, Marquis of Zuyi, Shu was begotten Liu Yi, Marquis of Qiyang, Yi was begotten Liu Bi, Marquis of Yuanze, Liu Da was the Marquis of Yingchuan, Da was begotten Liu Da, the Marquis of Fenling, Buyi was begotten Liu Hui, the Marquis of Jichuan, and Liu Xiong, the Fanling of Dongjun, was born by Hui. Liu Hong was born in Xiong, but Hong was not an official. Liu Bei was Liu Hong's son. "

I read a lot about Liu Bei’s genealogy.

All the names on it are true.

However, when it was Liu Bei's turn, there was not even a marquis left.

Everyone in the court had no doubt about Liu Bei's identity, but this kinship relationship was obviously too far away!

Although Liu Bei was a legitimate member of the Han clan, he did not have any title.

There are not a few such Han clan clan members in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei's face was calm. He knew that now in the court, with Liu Xie's words, his identity was now recognized.

As for what will happen next, it depends on how the emperor sees him.

Liu Bei was a little uneasy whether to just ignore it or to give him a heavy responsibility.

At this moment, after hearing Zong Zheng finish reading the genealogy, Liu Xie was already counting in his mind with his fingers.

He urgently needs help now. Since Liu Bei is from the old Liu family, that's right!

"After my careful calculation, it seems that you are still my uncle!"

Liu Xie had a smile on his face, and with just one opening of his mouth, he brought his relatives, uncle and nephew, who were eight poles away, closer.

Liu Bei was overjoyed. As soon as Liu Xie said these words, his status was already different from before.

With just one sentence of imperial uncle, he is no longer an ordinary clan member of the Han Dynasty!

This trip to Xu County is really worth it!

With this sentence from the emperor, Liu Bei's worries disappeared!

With the status of imperial uncle, at least his own life will not be in great danger.

"After the court meeting, your uncle will stay in the palace. I still have many things to ask your uncle!"

He said to Liu Bei that the relationship between the two relatives had been settled in the court.

Your Highness, Yang Biao and others glanced at Liu Bei subconsciously.

It's a bit envious.

What kind of uncle-nephew relationship is this? It’s just a relationship that the emperor needs right now!

Liu Bei is lucky.

He earned the title of imperial uncle for nothing.

Xi Yu didn't care much about this situation, he had already expected it.

As for Cao Cao on the other side, although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart.

Now that Liu Bei is under his control, he is just called an imperial uncle, which means nothing.

It's just that the emperor raised the opponent's status a little higher.

Just trying to compete with him is still too far.

However, now that Liu Bei's status has been recognized, his merits have not yet been rewarded.

Liu Xie naturally did not forget this.

When you find a helper, you must naturally give him a corresponding status and official position.

The title of imperial uncle is a status, but it does not have an actual powerful official position.

"I heard what Sikong said, and the emperor's uncle has worked hard over the years and made great achievements. Now that it is clear to me, I can't treat you badly!"

"Liu Bei obeys the order!"

Liu Xie spoke up, and Liu Bei, who was sitting on the red osmanthus, quickly responded: "I'm here!"

"In recognition of your achievements over the years, I will now confer upon you the rank of General Zuo of the Han Dynasty and confer upon you the title of Marquis of Yicheng Ting!"

General Zuo's position was neither high nor low, and Liu Bei was extremely satisfied with it.

Cao Cao and others did not have many opinions.

With the end of Liu Bei's reward, today's court meeting is almost over.

Liu Bei was left in the palace by Liu Xie. On the surface, the two uncles and nephews seemed to be reminiscing about old times.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows what the relationship between these two people is, and understands that this is the emperor's attempt to win over Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei was just happy with it!

After the court meeting, Cao Cao, Xi Yu, Xun Yu and others walked side by side.

"Fengyi even left his beloved wife at home for the sake of school. I really admire him!"

Cao Cao joked at Xi Yu, but Xi Yu just curled his lips.

Xun Yu, who was sitting on the bench, also smiled when he heard this.

However, when Xiyu brought up the idea of ​​building a school this time, Xunyu also strongly agreed.

Xiyu felt helpless.

After all, it was he who proposed building the school, so the court meeting was naturally coming.

As for newlyweds, they have plenty of time.

Now that Liu Bei appeared in front of Liu Xie, he was less troubled.

However, Cao Cao didn't care about Liu Bei, so Xi Yu couldn't help but remind him.

"Since brother has summoned Liu Bei to Xuchang this time, we cannot let him leave easily in the future!"

After Xi Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu, who was sitting on the bench, also couldn't help but say something.

"This time the emperor recognizes Liu Bei as his uncle, it may be of no use to Ming Gong!"

Liu Xie personally admitted that the status of the emperor's uncle was not low at all.

In the view of Xun Yu and others, this matter is naturally of no benefit to Cao Cao. On the contrary, it may be somewhat restrictive.

Cao Cao smiled.

"It's okay. Since Liu Bei considers him to be the emperor's uncle, he will not dare to disobey me because of the emperor's edict. Moreover, I will leave him in Xudu. Although his name is close to that of the emperor, he is within my control. Why should I be afraid?"

Cao Cao did not pay too much attention to the concerns of Xi Yu, Xun Yu and others.

His recommendation of Liu Bei this time was just to betray the emperor.

As for Liu Bei, he didn't take it to heart yet.

The only ones who were a little worried in his heart were Yang Biao and Dong Cheng, the ministers in the court.

After all, these people did not let him rest assured, not to mention that Yang Biao and Yuan Shu were related by marriage.

If these people united with Er Yuan and others, it would be a big worry for him.

…

After the school matters were settled, Xi Yu didn't worry too much.

Cao Cao and the imperial court were responsible for the construction of the school.

He just had to wait until the school was finally built.

As for those nobles from aristocratic families, Xi Yu didn't care at all.

The New Year's Eve is not far away now. After this court meeting, there will be no major events before the New Year's Eve.

Regarding coal, Xi Yu had already mentioned it to Xun Yu in the previous episode.

To solve the problem of coal, we naturally have to deal with Yuan Shao. This matter is for Cao Cao and Xun Yu to consider.
