Yuan Yao shouted aggrievedly. Zhuge Liang sat in the study and asked without raising his head: "How is the progress of the assessment?"
"The progress is very good, but Master, you actually lied to me. It was not a test paper for Taixue admission at all. I read it today! The test paper you gave me was even more difficult than the assessment paper. Master, at that time
I am only in my early ten years, why did Master treat me like this? Thinking about those times when I felt hopeless because I couldn’t do the test papers, it turns out that I have been doing the Taixue test papers since I was eleven years old!!
"
Yuan Yao almost cried. Over the years, he often felt inferior. Every time he heard his colleagues laughing and talking about the happy days of Taixue, he felt very inferior. These are ruthless people who passed the entrance examination.
, he did not dare to speak, for fear of leaking, but today, he discovered that he had been deceived all along, and that he was not an unlearned waste. Thinking of these years of torture, Yuan Yao really wanted to cry without tears.
"That's for your own good. Without those test papers, would you be able to enter the temple at this age and become a servant of two thousand stones?" Zhuge Liang asked displeasedly.
Yuan Yao was speechless again, but what Zhuge Liang said was not bad. The test papers that his master asked him to do back then covered everything from farming and mulberry cultivation, to business, to law, and mathematics. This was of great use to him.
Whether overseas or outside the Great Wall, the knowledge he has learned is helping him, making his political achievements more and more outstanding, making everyone a little unbelievable. Outside the Great Wall, he managed Xia County to
Not inferior to the northern counties, this is scary enough.
However, it is precisely because his political achievements are so terrifying that most people do not trust him and feel that these things about him are not true. It is possible that Zhuge Liang is helping him secretly. Yuan Yao does not care about these questions, and he has nothing
He has too much ambition. It is enough to live up to his master and not let his father down. As for fame and fortune, he doesn't care. As the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, he can have these even if he does nothing.
Over the years, Yuan Xi has always wanted to return the position of head of the Yuan family to Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao did not agree.
After Yuan Shao's accident, only Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were left in the family. However, because of his position, Yuan Shang did not dare to interfere in family affairs in these years. In the end, everything fell into the hands of Yuan Xi.
Xi is really miserable. He does everything but does not have the status of the head of the family. Yuan Yao cannot follow him unconscionably and ask for the position of the head of the family, no matter how justified he is.
Yuan Yao complained to Zhuge Liang for a long time, but Zhuge Liang was just busy with what he was doing and ignored him at all. When Yuan Yao finished complaining, Zhuge Liang said: "You go to the palace, His Majesty said he wanted to see him.
You...remember, don't anger the emperor, don't talk nonsense, got it?" At this time, he just raised his head, stared at Yuan Yao, and said seriously.
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Master, I am not a fool, how could I anger the Emperor? Don't worry, but why does Your Majesty suddenly want to see me? I have been in the temple for so long, and His Majesty has never summoned me.
I thought he didn’t want to see me!”
"Your Majesty is... very busy these days, and I don't have much chance to see you. Now that you have spared time, Your Majesty is outspoken... Forget it, you can just go." Zhuge Liang waved his hand, which made Yuan Yao even more excited.
Out of curiosity, he had heard a lot of rumors about the Emperor before he came to Luoxian County. Some said that the Emperor was brave and could tear apart tigers and leopards. Some said that the Emperor was kind and practiced benevolent government. Some said that the Emperor was irritable and was not like his father. Of course
, the colleague who said this, Yuan Yao has never seen him again since then.
When Yuan Yao arrived at the palace, Huangmen took him to the Tai Palace very politely.
Entering the Tai Palace, Yuan Yao seemed to see a wall. After a closer look, it turned out that this was the emperor. The emperor was very tall and tall. Sitting there, he didn't look like an emperor, but like an emperor.
The general in the army saw Yuan Yao walking in and looked at him seriously. Yuan Yao hurriedly came over to pay homage. Liu Qu helped him up, pointed at him, and said to the young man beside him: "Bo Yue,
You see, he is Zhuge Linggong's disciple!"
Only then did Yuan Yao realize that there was another person standing next to the emperor. That person was not too thin, but he lost his appeal just standing next to the emperor. Yuan Yao also knew this person. His name was Jiang Wei. They
They met in the Shizhongtai, and the relationship between this person and Zhuge Linggong was not bad. He often went to see his master, and Yuan Yao became somewhat familiar with him. Jiang Wei was also a little surprised at this moment, and turned towards Yuan Yao.
Smiled.
Liu Qu shouted: "You don't know, Bo Yue is very envious of you. He dreams of becoming Zhuge Linggong's disciple!"
"Oh, don't mention it, Your Majesty. I just learned something today that makes me really regret becoming Master Jun's disciple..." Yuan Yao sighed, and then told the emperor what happened in these years.
When Liu Qu heard this, he burst into laughter. This laughter directly brought them closer. As young people, the three of them actually got along well with each other. They didn't talk about government affairs, they just talked about the people around them.
Fun Facts.
Liu Qu became closer to Yuan Yao.
"If I had known you were such an interesting person, I would have met you earlier. These days, I have been busy with pigeons..."
"Pigeon?"
"Yes, the pigeons sent by the foreigners." Liu Qu said, nodding.
Yuan Yao was stunned, my dear, the most important thing for the emperor that Shijun said turned out to be playing with pigeons. He was just a servant, but a pigeon was not as important as him??
Liu Qu explained: "Don't underestimate this pigeon. This pigeon can deliver messages. You know, the territory of the Han Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and the post stations are constantly being built, but it is of no use. But this pigeon is different. The pigeon can deliver messages."
Deliver letters faster. We are still cultivating them now. After these pigeons are cultivated, the temple will be able to better control the place. Hahaha, this is a big deal for the big man."
Yuan Yao suddenly realized that if this was the case, then this pigeon was really much more important than himself.
They chatted for a long time, and the chat became more and more happy. Liu Qu suddenly asked: "Yuan Jun, where you come from, tell me truthfully, how do people in the world view me?", after hearing this,
Yuan Yao thought about Liu Qu's question for a long time and then said: "The people all think that Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous emperor. He is not inferior to the previous emperors and respects Your Majesty..."
"Oh? Is that really true?" Liu Qu didn't believe it. He felt that Yuan Yao might be flattering him on purpose.
Yuan Yao smiled bitterly and said: "I know that such words will be misunderstood by Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty, this is really the case among the people. The people do not know what Shi Zhongtai is. All the policies in the Annals of Heaven are considered by the people to be those of Your Majesty."
Many of the decrees issued in Tian Ji Nian are very good, so your Majesty's reputation among the people is very high. In addition, your Majesty often visits privately incognito to punish evildoers..."
"And there have been a large number of storytellers and even books among the people, all of which feature His Majesty fighting bullies and saving the people. This makes His Majesty's reputation rival that of Emperor Xiaode..."
Yuan Yao explained a lot, and Liu Qu just nodded happily, grabbed Yuan Yao's hand seriously, and said to him: "You are responsible for the culture and education of the world, so when reviewing, you must pay attention and never
Someone is smearing me in the book..." Yuan Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured. The reason why the Cultural Office appears is to review folk entertainment and educate correctly..."
"Well, that's good, that's good." Liu Qu grinned.
"I am very happy that the people of the world can see me correctly. By the way, Yuan Jun, what about you, what do you think of me?" Liu Qu asked again.
Yuan Yao frowned and said word by word: "I don't know. I think your Majesty is approachable, can treat people well, and has a benevolent heart. But... every time I sit with many ministers in the Hall of Houde to discuss ethics, I will
I seem to see Emperor Xiaode looking at us, sighing helplessly... I feel that even if His Majesty wants to implement the system of serving the middle office, he should not work in the Houde Hall. The meaning of the Houde Hall is different.
"
As soon as Yuan Yao spoke, the smile on Liu Qu's face froze. He lowered his head and clenched his fists. Jiang Wei took a few more steps towards Yuan Yao. If the emperor wanted to beat this guy violently, he would have to do it earlier.
Pull this guy away, otherwise he might not be able to withstand the emperor's punches because of his size. Just as he was thinking this, Liu Qu let go of his fists, raised his head, and looked at Yuan Yao in front of him again.
"You are very good, and your proposal is also very good... You are the only one who dares to speak to me like this. I admire you very much... Come here! I will reward Yuan Jun with a hundred gold coins! In the future, he will come to see me.
When it’s time, don’t stop it!”
"Here you go!"
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the emperor and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
They chatted for a long time, until Zhongshu ordered Liu Yi to arrive. Yuan Yao and Jiang Wei just said goodbye to the emperor and left here. Liu Qu hurriedly asked his uncle to sit down and asked Huangmen to serve tea. Liu Yi looked like
Very uneasy, he frowned and said nothing. He just ate tea several times. Liu Qu asked doubtfully: "Uncle? But what big thing happened?"
Liu Yi sighed, and then said: "There is one thing that I shouldn't say, but I have to say it."
"Uncle, please speak."
"The matter of Quji... In these days, Quji has been in Taixue. He has made many friends in Menzixue. He has helped the poor many times and gained a lot of reputation. As a brother, you'd better give it to me.
Let him leave the fiefdom." Liu Yi said, as an elder of the royal family, he should not have said this, but the emperor did not listen to what the other ministers said. Wang Lang originally mentioned it, and Liu Qu didn't care either. Liu Yi
I have no choice but to tell it in person.
"Hey, uncle, what's the point? There's no harm in getting to know more friends... So what if I don't go to the fief? Didn't my uncle not go either?"
"You want him to serve as the Secretary of the Central Committee??" Liu Yi was not stupid, and he suddenly realized, "But Quji...he is different from me. He is your brother, from the same mother.
What's more, I think he is young, but he is very scheming, and I am afraid that he will have some thoughts that he shouldn't have. I am not instigating your relationship, I just hope that he can go to his fiefdom as soon as possible..."
But no matter how he tried to persuade him, Liu Qu pretended not to hear, laughed and laughed, and in the end, Liu Yi was successfully angered and left.
After his uncle left, Liu Qu just yawned.
So what if he has different intentions? He is also a direct descendant of Emperor Xiaode and a descendant of Emperor Xiaokang....
