As an assassin cultivated by the Shadow Cult, Diao Chan deeply understands what kind of identity he exists for.

Tool!

Whether it's martial arts or beauty. Her body is the means she uses to accomplish the tasks assigned to her by the Order, if she needs to. If she is useless, she believes that the organization will abandon her without mercy, or even kill her!

She doesn't want to be such a cup and live in the hands of others, she wants to change her fate.

And a strong person like Liu Yuan is the best choice. Although she didn't know if she would become his tool after attaching herself to Liu Yuan, Diao Chan knew that as long as she had a chance with Liu Yuan, then she would not have to toss and turn among many men, becoming a tool for them to compete for power and profit and vent their desires - as a strong man, Liu Yuan would never allow anyone to cuckold him!

"In troubled times, the more beautiful you are, the easier it is to invite disasters Looking at ancient and modern times, the stunning beauties in troubled times have no good end - Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Yang Guifei" Liu Yuan groaned softly and walked out of the east courtyard slowly.

A moment later, Liu Yuan came to the West Courtyard.

At this time, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi were sitting around a brazier. Cai Yan was holding a book in his hand, and his beautiful face flashed with a quiet surname, which had a seductive demeanor.

"Zhaoji, Mi'er."

Liu Yuan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Brother Zihong" Zhen Mi's petite body threw herself into Liu Yuan's arms.

Cai Yan stood up, turned around and put the books in his hand on the bookshelf by the dresser, shook them gently, and walked over.

Liu Yuan held Zhen Mi in one hand and Cai Yan in the other, and walked out of the door.

"Go out of the city and see your mother."

Out of the house, Liu Yuan took the two of them and walked on the street.

Yuyang City, as the political, economic, military and cultural center of Youzhou, although the weather is unusually cold at this time, there is no lack of liveliness. On the streets, there are still a lot of pedestrians, although they are not quite shoulder to shoulder; The shops, inns, and liquor stores on both sides of the street are wide open, and business is in full swing

The three of them watched all the way, walked all the way, and soon went out of the city gate.

Walking through a dense forest, turning two hillsides, and in a valley surrounded by two mountains, you can see a small village in the distance. This is the place where Liu's mother lives in seclusion, and it is also the residence of the villagers who moved into Yuyang from outside Yingchuan.

Walking into the village, it was uninhabited, contrary to the city, thinking that the weather was too bad, and they all hid in the house to roast the fire. There was only a lot of slight breathing sound in the dark - this was the dark member of Liu Yuan's arrangement to protect Liu's mother and protect the villagers.

Holding the two beautiful girls tightly, Liu Yuan walked quickly towards a courtyard house in the east of the village.

Before they could get closer, there was a barking of dogs in the courtyard, followed by the sound of slight footsteps, and then the door creaked open.

"Mother" Liu Yuan stepped forward quickly.

"Mother" Cai Yan was a little shy on her face.

"Yuan'er is back!" Mother Liu's face bloomed with divine brilliance for a moment, she pulled Cai Yan from Liu Yuan's hand and led her to the house:

"Come on in, it's cold"

A few people walked into the courtyard, ignoring the barking earth dogs in the shack at the base of the wall, and went straight into the house.

In the room, there is a square table and two Taishi chairs. In the middle of the room, there was a brazier, and beside the brazier there were two small stools, one empty, and a small dustpan beside it; On the other one, Mrs. Cai is sitting upright.

"Zihong, Zhaoji, Mi'er, come and sit" Mrs. Cai is doing needlework in her hands, not at all like a wealthy lady, but like an ordinary rural woman.

Liu Yuan helped his mother to do a good job, then walked to the side, moved three small stools, and the three of them also sat down around the brazier.

"I heard that my son has been crowned king?" Mother Liu picked up the dustpan and asked indifferently. At the beginning, when Liu Yuan was the marquis and was the Taishou, Liu's mother was very happy to learn about it, and she only glorified her ancestors and carried forward the court. Later, when I arrived in Youzhou, I realized the peace of Youzhou, in comparison, the Central Plains, which has always been rich, is like a hell on earth, and Liu's mother felt that if her son was promoted again in the future, it would be ordinary tight, so this time Liu Yuan was crowned king, which made her feel taken for granted.

Liu Yuan nodded, and roughly said the matter of going south to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves.

"Alas" Mother Liu shook her head, her face was quite pitying: "That is, you can't eat, you can't live, otherwise who wants to uncover the rod and chop the wood, and tie your head around your waist, it's good for us to be in Youzhou, hehe"

Mrs. Cai agreed: "No, now the prosperity of Youzhou is even more than that of Emperor Wu's Si Liyuan'er is an expert in fighting, this governance of the world is also outstanding Hehe, sister-in-law, you gave birth to a terrible son!" ”

"Isn't it also half of your son? Hehehe"

Mother Liu is a hundred satisfied with Liu Yuan. To have such a son and say that he is not happy, it is false.

"Yuan'er, you tell Weiniang about the current situation in Youzhou."

Although he didn't know why Liu's mother asked like this, Liu Yuan still replied carefully. You must know that Liu's mother never asked about military and political matters.

"Well, with a population of six million, it's not bad for Jizhou and Sili, and this year's tax revenue is half of that of the entire Han Dynasty? With the land of one state, it is worth half of the elite army of the Han Dynasty of 300,000 Jizhou, and there are 200,000 in Jizhou, which is 500,000 troops," Liu Mu slowly tasted Liu Yuan's words, and commented from time to time.

"Yuan'er, you tell Weiniang, what's your surname?"

Liu Yuan was confused, and said honestly: "The surname is Liu." ”

"Hmm." Mother Liu's face sank, and she said, "Your command is huge, and you already have the atmosphere of a country. Wei Niang doesn't know anything about military politics, and she doesn't care how you develop in the future. However, you must remember that your father's surname is Liu, and your ancestor's surname is Liu! You are the great-grandson of Emperor Wu! ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he suddenly became a little clear: "What does my mother mean?"

"If the Son of Heaven in Luoyang doesn't have a place to be sorry for you, you can't replace him!" Mother Liu said sternly: "If you replace you, what will the world think of you?" The rebel who overthrew the ancestral dynasty? Disloyalty and unfilial piety?! ”

At this time, Liu Yuan completely understood what his mother meant.

It's just a righteous word!

The world is righteous! Humanity and righteousness! Righteousness!

Especially in the struggle for hegemony in the world, we must occupy the righteousness, otherwise we will not be qualified.

Although Liu's mother is a woman's family. But she can always grasp the root of the matter, and remind her son all the time not to go the wrong way!

"Mother, what do you mean, the child understands." Liu Yuan smiled. There are two points in the true meaning of the mother's words.

First, we must occupy the righteousness of doing things. In Liu Yuan, it is also necessary to embody a person's righteousness. Because his surname is Liu, even if the people of the world oppose the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, he is not qualified to oppose it, because it is his elder!

Second, Liu's mother did not object to her son's seizure of the country. But consider a timing. Either the Son of Heaven did something sorry for Liu Yuan, or the Son of Heaven fell, and Liu Yuan took the world in the name of Emperor Wu's great-grandson.

Just like Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, it can be said that he started from recklessness, but in the name of the Han clan and under the banner of restoring the Han family, he can compete with Cao Ying, who occupies half of the country. This illustrates the role of righteousness - in today's world, although after the Yellow Turban Disaster, most people still have their hearts set on the Han family.

It's like that. Throughout his life, he did not claim the title of emperor. I am afraid that there is also a reason for this. He did not dare to be the emperor, and he did not dare to be the enemy of the world.

is also like Yuan Shu, who braved the disapproval of the world and became the emperor, so the heroes discussed it together, and it disappeared in an instant!

Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Sun Jian, or even the vicious and cruel Dong Zhuo, they dare not be called the emperor, and everything must be done in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, which shows that the name of the Han family for 400 years is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

In the small village, Liu Yuan accompanied his mother for a few days, and was finally driven back to the city by Liu's mother on the grounds that he was busy with political affairs.

Back at the Thorn Mansion, Liu Yuan felt that he had nothing to do.

Political affairs and economy are handled by Chen Qun, and military affairs are handled by Guo Jia, but he, as the lord, has become a big idler. After thinking about it, Liu Yuan suddenly remembered that Youzhou College had not been there for a long time, so he took Cai Yan and Zhen Mi out of the mansion and went straight to Youzhou College.

Youzhou University is located at the north end of Yuyang City. Unlike the bustling South End, it's very quiet. There is the Tiangong Academy supervised by the Mo family, the cultural center opened by Confucianism, and the Tiangong Hospital opened for doctors. And Youzhou College is in the middle of these three buildings.

Walking into the Chengbei District, Liu Yuan felt a completely different atmosphere from other areas.

There's a heavy academic atmosphere here.

Walking through the Tiangong Academy, I raised my eyes and saw the gate of the college made of bluestone that was four zhang high and ten zhang wide.

The bluestone gate is arched, revealing an ancient heroic atmosphere, just like the surname of the northerners. There are four golden characters on the door, 'Youzhou Academy', which is a flying white book written by the great Confucian Cai Yong himself.

On both sides of the gate, there is a couplet, saying, 'There is a road diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the sea of learning'.

By the door, there was a huge boulder, and there was a word on it.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth

Establish a life for the people

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn

Peace for all generations

It was morning, and classes were in session, so it was very quiet, except for the faint sound of reading from the Bungain on the left

Mencius said: I am good at nurturing my heroic spirit

Zi said: Those who are not confused, those who are benevolent are not worried, and those who are brave are not afraid

So that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, lonely and disabled people have something to support"

Liu Yuan stopped for a long time, his face was quiet.

Walking through the gate of the Academy, Liu Yuan did not enter, but went to the Martial Academy.

As soon as I walked a short distance, I heard:

"Drink! Ha! ”

I think it's a martial arts practice.

Again:

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles

Avoid its sharpness and hit its laziness

Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit"

I think there is a class teaching Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Walking through the martial arts academy, in front of it is the College of Engineering.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Liu Yuan saw an old man leading a group of students to do experiments on the empty field. Suddenly, a wooden mandarin duck rose in the wind, fluttering gracefully in the air, making a 'woo-woo' sound.

After the Faculty of Engineering, there is the Faculty of Medicine.

Liu Yuan saw that Hua Tuo was leading a large number of students to dissect a wild boar!

Liu Yuan watched quietly, without disturbing these people who were engrossed, and after a long time, he and Cai Yan Zhen Mi quietly left the medical school.

After the medical school, there was still a large empty courtyard, but Liu Yuan had already prepared for the other schools. Just wait for it to be annexed and settled.

In the deepest part of the country, there is the Nationality Museum.

As the name suggests, the book, too. A library is a library. It is used to collect all kinds of books from the pre-Qin period to the present day.

The curator, Cai Yong, is holding a brush and writing hard. But it's writing and revising. Cai Yong is a generation of Confucianism, Bo Gu and the present, and has presided over the revision of books in the imperial court before, and this library is in charge of him, which is the most suitable.

Seeing that Cai Yong didn't notice it at all, Liu Yuan didn't bother, and stood still for a while, and finally withdrew from the school with Cai Yan and Zhen Mi.
