Chapter 484 Marriage
When the court meeting ended, all the officials were a little silent.

It was not because of Cao Cao's words in the court meeting today, but because of Xing Zi'ang, Xing Zi'ang was playing, the emperor asked Cao Cao's meaning, could the treasury support it?Cao Cao said in words that as long as the New Deal can continue, many other policies can be carried out, because the New Deal will allow the treasury to have the strength to bear the pressure, and the emperor agreed to Xinggong's memorial.

All the officials will not be moved by Cao Cao's words. They are not brats in the Taixue, but they will be moved by the tangible benefits. Many people still have their own ambitions in their hearts. Looking at it now Come on, obviously, as long as you stand in a good position, you can get a chance to realize it. Xing Gong has become the first example, but they are still observing and waiting.

Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to his mansion for a gathering. Liu Bei did not refuse, and returned to his mansion together with Cao Cao. Cao Cao ordered the servants to prepare a banquet to entertain Liu Bei. Of course, they did not forget, and brought the Yellow Gate directly from the palace. Xiao Huangmen is in charge of supervising their banquets, and if the ministers of the court and China want to hold private gatherings, Huangmen must be present.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei drank happily.

"Xuande, in the temple, you are the only one who dares to have a personal relationship with me. To be honest, I didn't expect that you would have such courage. I thought that you would be a hindrance to me as a farmer. To be honest, I have prepared a strategy to deal with you, hahaha!" Cao Cao said with a smile, his words were full of sincerity, without concealment.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was not lying. As Si Nong, if he did not support Cao Cao's decree and opposed him, it would definitely bring great resistance to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's even a pity."

"Oh? What a pity?"

"Cao Gong set up so many plans, but now they are useless, and I can't see them, what a pity!"

"Hahaha, if you think it's a pity, I'll use it tomorrow!"

"No, don't be prepared to be Duke Cao's opponent."

"Xuande, if you regard me as a friend, then don't call me Gong anymore, just call me Mengde!"

That night, Liu Bei lived directly in Cao Cao's mansion. According to reports, the two talked at night by candlelight, and they were very happy.

The next day,

Xing Ziang left Luoyang directly and went to the north. In the past, he made a big move in the north and wanted to connect the five northern states into one, but he couldn't continue due to natural disasters. Now, he once again set out for the north with great ambitions. , this time, he will definitely succeed. What Emperor Xiaokang wanted to see in the past, the world is full of roads, people come and go, and the situation of heavy traffic will definitely be realized in his own hands!
Later, Liu Bei went to play the emperor, hoping to expand the scale of local government schools, Taixue, and Menzixue. Moreover, he hoped to restart the North and South Second Academy. However, the emperor did not object to Liu Bei's proposal, so he ordered Liu Bei to preside over these matters in person.

First of all, Liu Bei set a goal, there must be a school in a county, and he wanted every county in Dahan to have a large-scale government school, so that the young children here can go to school at an early age , and to do this, Liu Bei couldn't stay in Luoyang all day. After he agreed with Lu Zhi, he issued a decree, then left Luoyang, and rushed to various counties and counties in person to build official schools.

Cao Cao personally came to see him off.

At the city gate, Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei who was about to leave, and felt a little regretful. After he left, he became alone again in the court, with no one to help him. However, Liu Bei's inspection tour was also the result of their discussions. It was for the major event of the New Deal, so Cao Cao had another kind of admiration for Liu Bei. The two worshiped each other, and Cao Cao said: "Xuande, you must take care of yourself."

"Meng De can rest assured. I don't know when I will see you again. Take care Meng De!"

"Ugh"

"Xuande is gone, is it possible to return in a year?"

"What I'm doing is to visit every county in Dahan. I want all the young children in Dahan to have the opportunity to go to school. When I return!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, watching Liu Bei's back, he bowed again, Liu Bei did not leave alone, he left Luoyang with a group of outstanding disciples, Cao Cao knew that after ten years , These excellent students will teach more outstanding talents.

However, the resetting of the North and South Second Courtyards, as well as the expansion of the Taixue School, fell entirely on Situ Lu Zhi. Unlike Cui Shi, Lu Zhi liked to do everything by himself. This seems to be different from the old Situ Wang Fu is somewhat similar, but the difference between them is that Lu Zhi can use a large number of talents to help him. Unlike Wang Fu, who walks alone, Lu Zhi has a huge appeal.

After all, Lu Zhi himself is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world. He has no major stains in his life. He has military exploits and political achievements. The only stain in his life is that he once escorted Wang Fu to Beijing. Dispatch is not his fault.

In terms of talent, Lu Zhi may be inferior to Wang Fu, but because of his appeal and the help of everyone, he can get things done faster than Wang Fu. It only took a few minutes to reset the North and South Courtyard. In two months, it was completed by Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi decided to set up the North and South Second Courtyard in other areas, and Lu Zhi set up the North Courtyard in Chang'an.

The South Courtyard was located in Chenliu.

After Lu Zhi wrote several letters, he summoned many friends. Most of these friends were masters of Confucianism, and some were ministers who had participated in Jianning Stone Classic. They went to two places to teach, and Lu Zhi also conducted assessments from the local government schools, and selected the outstanding talents among them to be included in the two universities respectively.

However, the conditions for entering the North and South Institutes are much lower than those of Menzixue and Taixue, which quickly filled the two universities with students. Lu Zhi directly applied the system of Taixue to the two universities. The experience of learning and Menzixue, the development and construction of the North and South Second Hospital, also has precedents to follow.

By March of the 13th year of Xiping, Lu Zhi had completed most of the measures, only Menzixue was still expanding and had not yet been completed.

inside the palace,
Empress Cai was sitting on her knees, holding Liu Di in her arms, and was feeding him.

Sitting on the side is Princess Raoyang. Princess Raoyang doesn't know what she is thinking. Recently, she is always absent-minded. Take it away, look at Rao Yang, and ask: "Who is it?"

"what?"

Princess Raoyang was taken aback, looking at Empress Cai.

"Speaking of which, who is the favorite?"

"Sister-in-law!!" Princess Raoyang blushed suddenly, at a loss. Empress Cai looked at her, smiled, and said, "You have also reached the age for marriage. The maids said, you also brought paper, pen and ink... have you started studying literature?"

"It's what Mastiff said, isn't it?"

"You asked him to deliver the letter for you. I already knew about it, but this child refused to tell me who it was for."

Princess Raoyang murmured in a low voice.

"Who?" Empress Cai asked quickly without hearing clearly.

"Mastiff's companion!"

Only then did Empress Cai understand, and said with a smile, "Oh, so it's that child from Sima's family."

"No! It belongs to the Zhuge family!!"

"Hahaha!" Empress Cai laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find your brother later."

Princess Raoyang lowered her head, unable to speak anymore.

The emperor was sitting in the Hall of Houde, when the queen came and saw that the emperor was busy, the queen did not bother him, standing by the door, waiting, the emperor finished his work, raised his head, his whole shoulders, He was a little sore, but suddenly a pair of hands gently rubbed his shoulders. The emperor was taken aback, and reacted, smiled, said nothing, closed his eyes and rested.

"His Majesty."

"kindness?"

"Mastiff's companion, what does His Majesty think?"

The emperor was a little puzzled, why did the queen suddenly ask this?He asked, "Which one is the queen asking?"

"It's Zhuge Liang, Liu Gong's disciple."

"Oh, him. Don't worry, that kid is precocious, with extraordinary talents, humble, noble character, mature and stable, you don't know that he is a gentleman, he can be admitted to the Imperial Academy at the age of 12, if he participates in the assessment, It may not be a full crown, he is by Mastiff's side, it is Mastiff's luck." The emperor said, the queen laughed, it seems that the emperor is very satisfied with him, this matter can be done.

"Then if His Majesty marry Rao Yang to him"

"what?!!"

The emperor jumped up suddenly, looked at the queen, and said angrily: "He begged you to come?? This thief!! Shuzi!!!" As he spoke, he walked towards the door, and the queen stopped him tightly he.

"I won't hack this guy to death! How dare you hit Rao Yang's idea!!"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Cai grabbed him tightly and said helplessly, "It was Rao Yang who asked me to come."

The emperor was silent for a moment, he looked at the queen in surprise, he was dazed for a long time, and sat back to his seat, he frowned and lamented repeatedly, looking at the appearance of the emperor, Empress Cai said again: "Your Majesty, Rao Yang has also grown up. up"

"What can she know...then Zhuge Liang, what's so good about it? A little boy, no martial arts, no ambition, cunning, and a sad face all day long, unsmiling. What's so good about such a thief?!" The emperor complained for a long time In the end, he sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Queen, send someone to let Zhuge Liang come over."

"Your Majesty, then you are not allowed to scare him, and you cannot beat him."

"You just call! How could I scare a boy!!!"

The queen quickly dispatched the Yellow Gate.

Yuan Mansion,

Since Yuan Shu was dismissed, he has been teaching Liu Mastiff and others with peace of mind all day. On the contrary, life is much easier than before, and he can occasionally see a smile on his face. On this day, he was teaching in the study, when he heard that there was a yellow door At last, he asked Liu Mastiff and others to wait, and went out by himself. Huang Men was standing in the front yard, waiting, and when he saw Yuan Shu, he hurriedly bowed down.

"Zhuge Liang?"

Yuan Shu was a little puzzled, but he still went into the study and handed Zhuge Liang to the Huangmen.

Following the Yellow Gate to the palace, Zhuge Liang was still at a loss, the emperor wanted to see him?Why, could it be that something happened to Master?He gradually became worried about Shijun who was thousands of miles away. Jiaozhou is dangerous. Did something happen to Shijun? He thought, and rushed to the palace with Huangmen, and was taken to Houde Hall. The emperor's expression made him more worried.

The emperor frowned, looking extremely annoyed, he looked at Zhuge Liang coldly, and looked him up and down.

"Kong Ming."

"His Majesty."

"You..." the emperor stopped, looked at the queen on the side, and said, "You should say it." The queen nodded, looked at Zhuge Liang, smiled softly, and asked, "Kong Ming, the emperor has the intention to Princess Raoyang betroths you."

"What?! This..." Zhuge Liang was shocked. He looked at the queen, then at the emperor, and said, "How dare you marry the eldest princess..."

"Why, are you looking down on my sister?! Come here!!" the emperor shouted angrily, Zhuge Liang was so frightened that his face turned pale, he shook his head quickly, and said, "I dare not, but I still need to inform the master, elder."

"You." The emperor gritted his teeth, finally sighed, and said: "I will tell them, you go back and get ready."

"Thank you."

After Zhuge Liang left, the emperor sat in the Hall of Houde, looking a little sad and downcast. He turned his head, looked at the queen, and said, "I still need the queen to trouble you about this matter."

"Thank you."
