Chapter 12
The feedback of Liu Bian and Liu Xie who officially appeared in the court for the first time was basically the same, most of them sighed for Liu Bian, and most of them were thoughtful about Liu Xie.
Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu, who was about to go to Zhaoming Hall to give Liu Xie's lesson, with an interesting face: "Wen Ruo, don't you mind if I go to observe your lesson for my son?" ”
Xun Yu's handsome face like cold jade did not have a trace of surprise, Cao Cao had an idea of exploring Liu Xie, but he was afraid that it was in line with the meaning of today's majesty, otherwise his majesty would not have brought Cao Cao's only son into the palace as an attendant.
No matter how good his personal relationship with Cao Cao is, Xun Yu has never been official in official affairs, and with the Xun family behind him, he doesn't have to wronged himself in front of the so-called predecessors.
"The captain of the military school said that it was a joke, it is natural for a father to visit his son's studies, please."
The courtiers who hadn't left before heard Xun Yu's reply and couldn't help pouting in their hearts, it was natural for Lao Tzu to pay attention to his son's studies, but this course definitely did not include paying attention to the inner garden of the palace all the way, but at this time, no one said that they were not in harmony with the law, so Cao Cao and Xun Yu walked side by side to the Zhaoming Hall under the eyes of the remaining ministers.
"Father?" Seeing Cao Cao, who walked into the Zhaoming Hall with Xun Yu, Cao Ang was stunned for a moment and then saluted.
"The minister has seen His Highness." Cao Cao did not kneel, but bowed.
Liu Xie turned half of his body and only received half a salute: "My lord is a minister of my father's emperor, so I don't need to be so polite." ”
Although Liu Xie's words were appropriate, he couldn't stand the small people, and his voice was full of milk, which made Cao Cao really laugh when he heard it.
Cao Cao smiled and straightened up: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
This is Cao Cao's first close observation of Liu Xie, an ordinary family, this should be the cleanest age, but in the royal family, don't say such an age, I'm afraid that I will start to learn to calculate when I just know how to call people, looking at the eyes of neither smiling like an adult, nor smiling like a real simple-minded child, Cao Cao sighed in his heart and nodded to this prince again.
Liu Xie tried his best to control the eyes that were being looked at by Cao Cao, and when he swept over himself, his habitually trembling body wanted to be afraid, and he saluted Xun Yu as usual: "Liu Xie has seen Mr. ”
Xun Yu also turned sideways to avoid the half-salute as usual: "Your Highness, it's time to go to class." ”
"Sir, please." Liu Xie adjusted the expression on his face and made a gesture of please.
Cao Cao shook his head amusedly, grabbed Cao Ang, who was about to follow, and asked, "Usually His Highness and Wen Ruo get along like this?" ”
"His Royal Highness respects his teacher very much, but His Highness's expression is becoming more and more similar to Mr. Xun." Cao Ang rarely teased Liu Xie, who was the prince, when he saw his father asking, which showed that he really regarded Liu Xie as his younger brother.
Liu Xie didn't react, but sat back in his seat step by step, while Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's father and son disapprovingly: "Young Master Cao, you should go back to your seat." ”
He seemed to have accidentally teased Mr. in it, Cao Ang innocently touched his nose and walked to Liu Xie and sat down.
"How does Your Highness feel on the first day of the court today?" Without saying those ways of Confucius and Mencius, Xun Yu put aside the book for the first time and asked a question that was not very relevant but closely related.
This question was obviously asked for him, it seems that Xun Yu really wanted to put himself on Liu Xie's side, Cao Cao smiled, looked at Liu Xie with his hands on his chest, and seemed to be interested.
Liu Xie replied without thinking too much: "The general is guilty of a straightforward admonition, and Lord Cao cares about the people. ”
It is true to be honest and straightforward, and it is not bad to have the people in mind, although such an answer is superficial, it is not bad for the prince who is only a few years old, the smile on Cao Cao's face deepened, and then he turned against the guest: "Does Your Highness only have these thoughts?" ”
Liu Xie's hands hidden in the wide sleeved robe on his lap were clenched tightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he turned his clear but cold gaze to Cao Cao: "It is not enough to be a king." ”
Cao Cao was surprised, put down his hands around his chest and straightened up slightly: "Why do you see that you are selfish?" ”
"Grown-ups know it." Without following Cao Cao's thinking, Liu Xie replied lightly.
Liu Association has such an answer because he has been in a long-term rebellion against Cao Cao, even if he has been an emperor who only listens to Cao Cao for so many years, but he has never been willing in his heart, he can endure the humiliation again, but he can't be close to Cao Cao.
However, Liu Xie's almost rude cold answer did not displease Cao Cao, but was exchanged for a burst of laughter, Liu Xie's scalp tingled reflexively when he heard the familiar laughter, but the small body still sat there and did not move.
"Then what is the heart of the people?"
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao who was smiling strangely, different from the most common smiling Cao Cao who was still an upright young man, seemed to be in a particularly good mood at the moment, with a smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Liu Xie sneered again in his heart, Cao Cao, who was smiling like this, even felt a trace of affection for himself who rejected him like this, not to mention those civil and military ministers who had been born and died for Cao Cao.
Even with disgust in his heart, Liu Xie didn't look away, and there was a hint of strangeness in his tone: "To pacify the yellow scarf, the people who have benefited the most are those people who have never danced together. Liu Xie said frankly and without pretense, because this is the truth, even if he is unwilling to admit it, it is not a distant past for him, under the governance of Cao Cao, even if the people have not yet reached the level of peace and contentment, they are more comfortable than the people under the rule of other princes.
"Your Highness is right." Cao Cao didn't deliberately say that Liu Xie was wrong, but the next question was much more acute: "It's just that His Royal Highness only said that the ministers cherished the people but did not say that the ministers were loyal to the king, did he feel that the ministers were disloyal?" ”
"Mengde!" Xun Yu frowned, and a 'Mengde' was full of moderation.
Cao Cao smiled innocently, and knew that he had already overstepped this question, and he just wanted to make amends and didn't want Liu Xie to open his mouth.
"The matter is loyal, not in a sentence, the father naturally knows it in his heart, not to mention whether Lord Cao is loyal or not is not something that this king can have."
Cao Cao's gaze instantly sharpened, and the aura on his body became very cold, decades of accumulation, although Cao Cao did not have a murderous aura at this time, Liu Xie still couldn't control the reaction of his body, and instinctively trembled, but that gaze stubbornly did not move away from Cao Cao's face.
In this life, he would rather die than be despised again; I'd rather die, he doesn't want to be reluctant anymore!
"Father's ......" was also a little trembling, but Cao Ang moved his body and put Liu Xie behind him.
At the same time, Xun Yu walked in front of Cao Cao, completely blocking the sight between Cao Cao and Liu Xie: "Meng De, you should stop in moderation." ”
Looking at the trace of anger in Xun Yu's cold gaze, Cao Cao laughed again, and slapped Xun Yu's shoulder with one hand forgetfully, and his voice was undisguised joy: "I am a big man, and the people are hopeful!" Hahaha......"
Xun Yu felt the pain on his shoulder, and looked at Cao Cao, who was overjoyed, with an expressionless face: "You should go to order troops now, and you have already disturbed my class." ”
"Okay, okay, if Wen is angry, I'll leave." After saying that, he bypassed Xun Yu and turned to the child, who had been sitting straight since just now, and had not bent his spine once, and bowed to the end: "The minister is disrespectful and has many Meng Lang, please forgive your Highness." ”
It was not a forgiveness of sins, but a giving, Liu Xie's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe that the person in front of him who was bending over and speaking respectfully to himself could be Cao Cao.
There was a tingling pain in the subconsciously tightened hand, and Liu Xie stood up from his position and walked around Cao Cao's side after being in a trance for a moment under the stimulation of the pain.
"Lord Cao's words are serious, my lord is a courtier relied on by my father, and he is also a rare capable minister of my Han Dynasty, what is it that this king has been wronged, I just hope that my lord will remember his identity as he does now."
"No."
"Lord Cao still has military affairs, and this king will no longer stay in class if he wants to go to class, my lord, please."
"The minister retired." This time, Cao Cao didn't procrastinate, and straightened up very simply and retreated.
As soon as Cao Cao left his sight, Liu Xie's heart was relieved, and a touch of exhaustion climbed into his delicate eyebrows.
"Your Highness is doing a good job." Xun Yu walked to Liu Xie's side and patted the very weak shoulder gently, but the next moment, he wrung his eyebrows for a little wetness in his palm, and finally said: "Your Highness's first early dynasty must not be used to it, and today the minister will suspend class once so that His Highness can adjust the time for learning literature and martial arts." ”
Liu Xie raised his head and looked at the man who had done his best by Cao Cao's side in his previous life and was praised as a gentleman by the world: "Thank you, sir." Taking a step back and removing his shoulders from Xun Yu's hands, Liu Xie saluted and didn't care about Cao Ang beside him, he now needs to do his best to change out of the sticky clothes on his body, and then take a hot bath to relieve the nerves that have been tense until now.
"Uh, Your Highness......"
Cao Ang was just about to raise his foot to catch up with Liu Xie, but Xun Yu stopped him with one hand: "Ziyu, Your Highness's class has stopped, but your class has not stopped." ”
Yes? Cao Ang blinked, and then glanced outside with some concern, obviously relieved Liu Xie.
Seeing this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of relief and ardent hope, the future of the Han Dynasty, maybe he can look forward to it a little more, not for the so-called destiny of that person, only for the young prince who is still young but has already taken off and the future pillar of the country of the Han Dynasty.
