Han emperor system

Chapter 19 The First Meeting of Cai Yan
"I have long heard that Mrs. Cai has a clever daughter with extraordinary literary talent and ambition. She often claims to be Ban Zhao's second. Today, seeing her, she really lives up to her reputation. She is really a woman."

"The prince has won the award. Cai Yan has a heart higher than the sky. How can he be praised by a talented woman like Ban Zhao?"

"Miss Cai Yan, do you have a name?"

"I'm waiting for my daughter's house, where is the name?"

"The girl must not think so in her heart. What you must be thinking is, why can't men and women be equal? ​​Why can't my daughter's family do men's things, so let alone take a name. If the girl doesn't have a name, Liu Bian can give it to the girl. One, I don’t know what to do?”

"Oh, I don't know what name your Highness wants to give me?"

"Zhao Ji." Liu Bian read each word softly.

Cai Yan's body trembled, because this was the name she secretly chose for herself, but she never told anyone, because she was still afraid of her father's reprimand and the reprimand of the world, after all, she was still so young at this time, It's not the Cai Wenji who grew up to be a maverick.

"Thank you Your Highness for the name, Cai Yan will definitely keep it in mind."

Seeing Liu Bian and Cai Yan talking very harmoniously beside them, Cai Yong's mother and wife did not disturb them, but looked at them with a smile on their faces, and at the same time, a thought came to mind, that is, if Cai Yan could Betrothed to the prince Liu Bian, maybe they will be a perfect combination.

"Okay, Yan'er, don't pester the prince anymore, the prince has a lot of things to do, so I can't stay with you here for too long."

Seeing that the two were discussing poems and essays again, Cai Yong's old mother interrupted them quickly, but both of them were a little bit reluctant, but they also knew that it was getting late.

"Mrs. Cai, Liu Bian has an idea. I hope that the old lady can be wronged, pretend to be sick at home, and then send someone to tell my father. Maybe my father will consider calling the teacher back to the capital."

"It's nothing, as long as Yong'er can come back, don't pretend to be sick, even if it's really serious, it doesn't matter."

The next day, Lu Zhi handed over a memorial in the court: "Your Majesty, yesterday the family of Master Cai came to the Minister's Mansion to report that Mrs. Cai is seriously ill now, and I am afraid she will die soon. She hopes to be able to Before I die, I will meet Master Cai, please forgive the painstaking efforts of a critically ill old man, and call Master Cai back."

"That's right, your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent and unable to teach His Royal Highness to argue. Among the great Confucians in the world today, only Master Cai has this ability. I hope His Majesty will show mercy."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Immediately, many ministers said in unison, Emperor Ling nodded, thinking in his heart that it was time to call Cai Yong back to Beijing, because Empress He was a little unhappy about it these few nights, although he still obeyed him, but he Feel the unhappiness in her heart.

"Tell me a few of you, do you have any thoughts on Cai Yong's return to Beijing?"

After the dynasty was dispersed, Emperor Ling called Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others to the imperial study room. He always respected these people, and he also called Zhang Rang Rang's father, because he was the son of Hou Guo at the beginning, but because the former emperor had no He was selected as the emperor because of his son, among whom Zhang Rang and others contributed a lot.

"Your Majesty, the slaves and others have no objections. Since Prince Bian is looking for a teacher, he is naturally looking for the best Confucianist in the world, and Cai University deserves it. His literary talent and knowledge are the best in the world. Prince Bian can have him to teach. It's a good thing too."

"Hehe, it's rare for you to be so magnanimous, but it's okay for Cai Yong to go back to Beijing to teach the prince's debate, but I won't resume his previous position, so let him concentrate on teaching the prince's debate, so as not to be distracted by business affairs."

"What the Holy Majesty said is true, I will leave everything to the Holy Majesty to decide."

Soon, Emperor Ling decreed to pardon Cai Yong for his disrespect, and called him back to Beijing immediately to defend the prince as a teacher, but there was no mention of resuming his original post.

After Liu Bian heard the news, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There was still half a month before the time limit for this mission. Cai Yong should be able to return to the capital within half a month.

He looked at the progress of this temporary task, and sure enough, 50.00% of it has been completed. He believes that as long as Cai Yong returns to the capital, it can be completed, so he spends the rest of the time on practice and training. It's just to fight with those soldiers of the Habayashi Army, chat and laugh with the old ladies and little girls in the house.

Seven or eight days later, Cai Yong returned to the capital, and after seeing the Holy Majesty, he came to Shifu and met Liu Bian.They looked at each other, and what Liu Bian saw was Cai Yong, a tall and thin Mr. Wen, wearing a crown and wearing a plain suit. Although he was busy in the world, he was energetic, with bright and deep eyes, full of wisdom. The light seems to be able to penetrate a person's heart, and Cai Yong has a powerful aura, which is not inferior to Liu Bian's talent, ability, stability and dignity.

At the same time, Cai Yong was also shocked. Before he arrived in the capital, some old disciples came to greet him. From those people, he also knew that he was able to return to the capital mainly because of the prince Liu Bian whom he had never met.

Originally, he had always heard that Emperor Ling was not very satisfied with the eldest prince Liu Bian, so he felt strange about the prince Liu Bian rescuing him, and he also made some content, that is, there is something wrong with the imperial court. The young ministers, especially those headed by Shangshu Lu Zhi, Situ Chenyan, and admonishing doctor Liu Tao, were more inclined to support the eldest prince Liu Bian, including some of his old disciples.

Seeing Liu Bian today, Cai Yong was calm on the surface, but he felt the demeanor of him, secretly surprised in his heart, because he felt the emperor's demeanor from Liu Bian.

"Liu Bian pays his respects to the Grand Scholar, and invites the teacher to sit down."

In front of Cai Yong, Liu Bian was very respectful, and Cai Yong didn't refuse, just sat on the top seat, and then nodded to Liu Bian: "As soon as I returned to the capital, I heard some old people talk about Prince Bian, You have tested their questions before, and today I also have a question I want to ask the prince to argue. If your answer satisfies this bachelor, this bachelor can accept you as a disciple, but if this bachelor is not satisfied, then I will ask His Majesty to let you go I went back to Lingnan."

After hearing Cai Yong's words, Liu Bian didn't look surprised at all. He knew that these great Confucian scholars had their own dignity and personality, so he nodded: "Grand Scholars please come up with a question."

"The prince argues that if he is a king, how can he save the great man from the decline?" Cai Yong's question was very sharp.
