In this crown ceremony, Empress Dowager Yun invited her mother's brother to participate, that is, Liu Zhi's uncle, Yun Yi.

For this uncle, Liu Zhi can be said to have no impression at all, when his mother was named the queen mother, she also gave him the title of Changping Marquis.

Before Yun Yi was just a school master, he did not become a scholar, and the Empress Dowager Yun hoped that her mother's family would be a low-key person, so Liu Zhi did not give any real job.

A county marquis, coupled with a generous reward, is enough to make the Yun family worry about food and clothing.

Since then, in addition to the regular rewards during the New Year's holidays, Liu Zhi has almost forgotten about this nominal uncle.

The main reason is that Yun Yi is also very low-key, basically he has never asked for anything, and this time he received the invitation of the Empress Dowager Yun, and he also arrived on time, and did not go to Beijing in advance to show off.

Therefore, Liu Zhi is actually seeing him for the first time.

Yun Yi is handsome and elegant, generous in conversation, and has a moderate demeanor, not as old-fashioned and boring as he imagined.

Therefore, Liu Zhi had a good impression of him, and after bowing to his mother, Liu Zhi had no time to talk to him in detail because he still had to attend the banquet.

He invited Yun Yi to attend with him, but the latter politely declined.

"The minister has traveled a long way and is a little tired, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Liu Zhi was not reluctant, the low-key of the Yun clan has always been like this, and for the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been dictated by relatives for many years, it is indeed a thing that everyone applauds.

But seriously, it's really a bit unfair to meet a capable relative.

The banquet was very grand, and Liu Zhi also announced that the people would celebrate for three days, so the atmosphere was relaxed and active from top to bottom.

On the second day, Liu Zhi still remembered yesterday's events, so he specially summoned his uncle Yun Yi to Deyang Palace, and the two talked for a while, and he found that his uncle had been running a school all along, and he did not stop because he was sealed.

Yun Yi's knowledge is good, and he is also a well-known Confucian scholar in the local area, and there is something that Liu Zhi admires very much.

He obviously does not approve of promoting studies, but he never stops his students from discussing it, believing that everyone has the right to choose their own path.

There is no class to teach, and students are taught according to their aptitude.

There are reasons why the saint is great, and Yun Yi's personality may not be suitable for being a government official, but he is a good teacher.

While talking and laughing, Liu Zhi also found that this uncle is really self-aware. knows that his character is not suitable for officialdom, and even he himself is that kind of clear stream, and he has no intention of intrigue.

His ideal was to be able to write books and speak, and in the future, there would be a book of scripture commentaries that would be passed down through the ages, and this life would be enough.

Liu Zhi has always admired such a persistent person, the two talked very happily, and Yun Yi also expressed his opinions on Liu Zhi's various policies as an ordinary person.

He came from a humble background, Liu Zhi's maternal grandfather was only a small county clerk during his lifetime, although his thinking was a little old-fashioned, but he knew the people's suffering.

Therefore, he was very much in favor of most of Liu Zhi's policies, including the imperial examination system, land reform, and the rectification of the rule of officials.

However, there are quite a few complaints about the relaxation of household registration restrictions and the opening of trade routes, believing that it will discourage the enthusiasm of peasants, and they all flock to the cities to seek a living.

At that time, the fields will be seriously abandoned, and even if you have money, you will not be able to buy grain, which may lead to soaring food prices and the people will not be able to make a living.

I have to say that his thinking is very reasonable, so Liu Zhi is ready to develop agricultural science and technology on a large scale when the conditions are ripe.

Hybrid rice and wheat have been studied, although no substantial progress has been made so far.

But as long as the direction is correct, sooner or later it will succeed, not to mention that after the development of machinery, it can also increase production again.

But these things can only be said in his heart at present, and there is no way to say it, so he has to deal with the past vaguely and does not explain it to him.

Finally, Yun Yi focused on the imperial examination system, believing that it is much fairer and more just than the previous examination system, but there are still some problems that need to be solved.

"In the local government schools, most of them are children of families, poor students can only go to some low-level private schools, and poor children have nowhere to go if they want to study.

The minister heard that His Majesty encouraged the establishment of schools for the common people to study, and the state subsidized part of the funds, which was really a great thing, and the minister thanked His Majesty for the thousands of poor families. ”

This matter is led by the Jingzhou pastoral Dong class, and Yangzhou, Qingzhou and the Sili School Captain Department are now in full swing.

Other states are just getting started, and because of the lack of attention at the local level, or even the disobedience of the good and the bad, the results are not great.

"Can my uncle be interested in serving as a student in Yanzhou?"

Changping County is in Yanzhou, and Yun Yi's school is also located there, and after some talking, Liu Zhi feels that he can't waste his uncle's talent.

The position of a state's academic administration is neither high nor low, and it is not linked to government affairs and military power, and is in charge of the state's schools and imperial examinations.

Liu Zhi didn't ask this on a whim, he really thought that his uncle could take on this important task and improve Yanzhou's education.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Liu Zhi hurriedly explained, "The Queen Mother hopes that the Yun family will keep a low profile, but she is afraid that people will misunderstand her to interfere in politics for her relatives."

But the position of academic politician is hard and has no real power, and I am not playing favoritism because you are my uncle.

But I really think that my uncle can do a good job in this academic and political position, and I hope that my uncle can think clearly.

As for the Queen Mother, uncle don't worry, I'll explain it to her. ”

Hearing Liu Zhi say this, Yun Yi finally dispelled his worries and nodded in agreement.

"In this way, the minister will be disrespectful, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will conscientiously do a good job in the study and administration."

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Zhi was also very happy, "Uncle is a rare visit, tomorrow I invite you to go to the West Garden for a drink, and also do your best to be a landlord." ”

"Your Majesty has every opportunity, don't waste time for the ministers, just find someone to accompany me."

was politely rejected by him, Liu Zhi was not reluctant, and was suddenly promoted, he was already a little scared, and naturally he didn't want to be in the limelight again.

On that day, Liu Zhiliu had lunch in his bedroom, and then sent someone to send him back to Yong'an Palace.

In the afternoon, he went to the Zhongde Hall to review the recitals as usual, and at dinner he went to Yong'an Palace, and the Queen Mother really asked about Yun Yi.

After listening to Liu Zhi's explanation, he didn't say much, but just told Yun Yi to do things well and not live up to His Majesty's wishes.

He was talking. Liu Zhi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Princess Yiyang looked nervous, and looked behind her secretly several times.

So he beckoned her to come over, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

When Princess Yiyang heard this, her little face was swollen and red, she looked at him nervously, and then looked back at the Queen Mother, and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly, this child is so honest that it's hard for her.

So he explained with a smile, "It was Shuo'er and Mrs. who wanted to give you a congratulatory gift, so they sent Kui'er here, because they wanted to surprise you, so they didn't say anything in advance." ”

Liu Zhi frowned, he knew that as soon as his mother encountered the matter of Liu Kui's brothers and sisters, she would immediately lose her principles.

In the past, Liu Kui was still young, and all kinds of nonsense he looked at the face of Mrs. Ma and his mother, but now that he is fifteen years old, he still does what he wants.

The princes and kings entered Beijing without an edict, which was originally a big or small crime. I forgave him once or twice, but now it's getting worse.

If this goes on for a long time, isn't it lawlessness?

Seeing that his face sank, the Empress Dowager hurriedly pleaded.

"He also knew that he was wrong, he didn't dare to see you after giving a congratulatory gift, and as soon as he heard you coming, he was so frightened that he hid behind the curtain, and he was pitiful."

It's hard to believe that such a foolish thing that reverses right and wrong came out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager Yun.

But Liu Zhi didn't want to slap his mother's face, let alone make her sad.

So he smiled and said, "Since it's a congratulatory gift, why hide it?" You let him out, I have something to ask him. ”

Hearing that she wouldn't blame him, Empress Dowager Yun immediately turned from yin to sunshine, and raised her voice, "Kui'er, it's okay, come out and admit your brother's mistake, don't be so willful in the future." ”

Empress Dowager Yin Yin instructed, Liu Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, his mother has always treated him as a child, if this continues, how can Liu Kui have a chance to grow.

Sure enough, Liu Kui slowly came out from behind the curtain, looked at Liu Zhi and smiled, and hurriedly saluted.

Liu Zhi looked at him twice, this little fat man used to be round, but when he got older, he still didn't improve at all, but became more and more rounded.

If this continues, it is estimated that he will become a big fat man in two years.

Liu Zhi glanced at him coldly, "The capital is so good?" made you so reluctant to run from home several times. ”

Liu Kui's face was sincerely frightened, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty is also the minister's brother, and the minister also knows that he shouldn't do this, but his father died early, and his brother is not around, so the minister is lost in teaching."

Listening to his nonsense, Liu Zhi couldn't wait to kick his two heartfelt feet, but unfortunately he could only endure it for the sake of his mother.

"Therefore, the minister wants to listen to His Majesty's teachings nearby, and ask my brother for mercy."

He said that he was pitiful, but the Empress Dowager's heart had already softened, and when she received his gaze for help, she immediately helped to speak.

"Since ancient times, the eldest brother is like a father, it is better for the emperor to teach him well for a few years, and when he reaches the age of eighteen, I will immediately drive him to the fiefdom, how about it?"

Liu Zhidu couldn't believe his ears, is this still his mother?

This kid is also very powerful, and in just a few words, he provoked his mother to intercede with him and let him live in Beijing for a long time.

After thinking about it slightly, Liu Zhi decided to agree first, so as not to let his mother be caught in the middle.

I'll find another way to do it myself. I still have to teach him well, and I can't let him continue to mess around like this.

In the future, if he really violates the law of the country, no matter how he solves it, he will break his mother's heart.

"Well, since my mother said so, then Brother Kui will stay in Beijing for the time being."

Liu Kui was overjoyed when he heard this, and as for what Liu Zhi said later, let him study hard in the future, he couldn't listen to it at all.

The whole person's mind had already flown to the side of the group of fox friends and dogs, and they couldn't wait to run to tell them the good news and celebrate again.

Seeing his soulless appearance, Liu Zhi was also very disappointed, it was really rotten wood that could not be carved.

Anyway, this child's heart has been crooked, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to retract his heart, and he will be designated as a drunkard in the future.

After dinner for a while, Liu Kui immediately found an excuse to slip away, Liu Zhi knew that he couldn't explain this matter to his mother, so he wanted to talk to his uncle Yun Yi to see if he could help persuade his mother.

"Uncle accompanied me to the courtyard for a walk, to eliminate food, I just have something I want to discuss with you."

As long as it does not involve Liu Kui's brothers and sisters, the Empress Dowager Yun is very reasonable, and the two came to the courtyard.

Liu Zhi didn't hide it, and sighed, "Uncle must have seen the matter of Fang Cai, the King of Bohai was clever and reckless, relying on his mother's love for him.

Is there any way my uncle can help me persuade my mother? ”

Yun Yi arched her hand, "The queen mother's thoughts, the minister can guess a few points, she always feels indebted to their mother and son."

So it is inevitable that I will prefer some in my heart, and I always can't help but make excuses for him, if I am as stable and virtuous as the King of the Plains, it would be good.

The minister Guan Bohai King has misbehaved, and I am afraid that he will cause trouble in the long run.

When the time comes, it will be against the law of the country not to punish, and if it is punished, it will make the Queen Mother sad. ”

These words simply went to Liu Zhi's heart, he had no family affection for Liu Kui, and in the past few years. even lost the only remaining bit of affection.

Every time I see him, I always have an indescribable disgust, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he touches Liu Zhi's bottom line again and again.

"This is a dead knot, and it is difficult to open, but since Your Majesty has opened his mouth, the minister should try his best to give it a try, but it is difficult to guarantee the effect."

Empress Dowager Yun is very gentle and easy-going on the surface, but in fact, she is very stubborn in her bones, and she can't pull back the nine cows that she has identified.

Liu Zhi and Yun Yi are very clear about this, which is why they are so embarrassed.

"So please leave it to my uncle, anyway, I don't expect him to be as stable as the King of the Plains, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, the rest will be out of sight."

The two looked at each other and smiled, both a little helpless.

After Liu Zhi returned to the dormitory that day, he was still a little uneasy, so he sent a message to Shan Chao, asking him to send someone to stare at Liu Kui secretly, don't let him be too messy.

Yun Yi really failed to persuade the Queen Mother to change her mind, but Liu Zhi couldn't, so he had to temporarily stay in Jingshi, in the name of accompanying the Queen Mother.

usually lives in the old mansion of the Empress Dowager Yun in Lu Lane, and goes everywhere with a group of second ancestors.

All day long, he was either gambling on horses and cockfighting, or eating, drinking, and having fun, but under the supervision of Long Linwei, he didn't do anything to bully men and women.

As long as you don't hang out in front of your eyes. Liu Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to it, and let him stay in Beijing.

Yun Yi only stayed in Beijing for half a month, then said goodbye and went back to Changping County, and when he left, Liu Zhi set up a banquet for him alone.

The matter of his appointment as the Yanzhou academic administrator was also issued by the official channels of the Ministry of Officials, which was very low-key and did not alarm anyone.

On the day he left, Liu Zhi changed his clothes, personally sent him out of the city, and told him that if there was anything that could not be solved, he could write a letter to himself through Long Linwei.

Yun Yi shook his head to the ground, and then waved goodbye, Liu Zhi sighed slightly, this uncle was purely delayed by the name of his relatives.

In this life, he can only end in the position of state school administration, and no matter whether he has grades or not, there can be no promotion.
