Chapter 620 Too Late

"teacher!"

"This is the document you asked me to copy."

Liu Yuan carefully placed many documents in front of Zhong Hui and then stepped aside.

Zhong Hui took the document with a smile, looked at it for a moment, and then threw it aside.

This is how Zhong Hui taught his disciples, asking them to copy some important documents. This was how his brother trained him, asking him to become familiar with the many documents in the temple. Now he also applied this set of things directly to Liu Yuan.

Zhong Hui looked at Liu Yuan with displeasure in his eyes.

"How did I teach you?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuan quickly straightened his body, raised his head, and looked arrogant.

Seeing his rudeness, Zhong nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, you've finally made some progress. Now you look like someone who has delved into the classics!"

Liu Yuan was young and didn't quite understand the reason.

In the past, he studied with Wang Su. It was called studying, but in fact he just read at Wang Su's house. Every day was the same, and he kept reading. Although Liu Yuan himself did not resist, that kind of study was indeed very boring.

Since he came to Zhong Hui's side, he continued to study classics, but the method was slightly different.

Zhong Hui never let him read. He made him copy documents every day and occasionally called him in to teach him classics.

But the classics that Zhong Hui talked about were more like posture adjustments. Zhong Hui explained to Liu Yuan in detail what a person familiar with the classics should look like, and told him the correct postures for sitting, standing, eating, and reading.

I even occasionally taught him how to read faces, and how to tell other people's personalities, talents, future prospects, etc. from their faces.

He teaches everything except the classics.

Liu Yuan asked in confusion: "Teacher, is this what it means to treat the classics?"

"That's right! This is what it means to master the classics! Now, anyone who sees you will think that you are well versed in the classics. Just having this appearance is enough!"

Liu Yuan said, "But Confucius once told us that having a beautiful appearance but no real talent is nothing but a fool."

Zhong Hui was full of disdain. "What does Kong Chao know? In life, no matter what you do, you should strive to reach the pinnacle, to a level that no one else can surpass!"

"Take the classics, for example. Can true masters of the classics be learned? Anyone can read the classics, but to become the best, you need to possess natural talent. Those with this talent can achieve great accomplishments in the classics even if they only flip through the pages every few months. But for those without talent, even if they read for decades like Kong Chao did, what good is that?"

Liu Yuan seemed to understand, "Teacher, then why should I study the classics?"

"How should I know? Didn't you come to me to learn it?"

"Then why should the teacher learn?"

"Classics are nothing more than an aid to me. I have great ambitions, and classics are just a side path that can be used to accomplish certain things."

Liu Yuan looked at his new teacher with stars in his eyes.

For some reason, Liu Yuan likes his current teacher very much. It is always so interesting to listen to his lectures, completely different from the past.

Moreover, following his new teacher, Liu Yuan mastered many skills. Now he can tell whether a person is good or bad at a glance!

Zhong Hui looked at his disciple's admiring gaze and said proudly, "As my disciple, your words and actions should be like those of a famous scholar. You should copy more of these documents. These are not ordinary documents."

"These are all documents issued by the Secretariat, covering important government affairs and current politics. This is what a real man should learn!"

"When I was your age, I could already discuss the pros and cons of state affairs with my brother! But you can't even read what you copied. How can you become a famous scholar?"

Liu Yuan quickly lowered his head, looking aggrieved and frustrated.

Zhong Hui looked at him suddenly, "Huh?"

Liu Yuan instantly raised his head and regained his original defiant look. "I will definitely follow my teacher's example and become a famous scholar like him. I will not bring shame to your reputation!"

Only then did Zhong Hui nod in satisfaction.

"Keep copying! I don't expect you to achieve any great fame, as long as you don't make me a laughing stock after I go out!"

"only!!"

Just when Zhong Hui was teaching normally, a servant came hurriedly to report that Zhong Yu had come.

Zhong Hui hurried to greet him.

Zhong Yu was frowning at this moment, and his face looked very unhappy.

When he saw Zhong Hui coming out, he just snorted coldly and walked past him. Zhong Hui was stunned and had no choice but to follow him.

"Brother, why are you doing this?"

"But what have I done to irritate you so?"

Zhong Yu ignored Zhong Hui the entire time until they entered the study and sat down. Zhong Yu then looked at Zhong Hui unhappily and asked, "Did you recommend Qiao Zhou to His Majesty?"

Zhong Hui was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, have you informed others?"

Zhong Yu immediately cursed: "Do you think there are no great scholars in Wei? The Central Plains is full of talented people. How can a Shu person like him have the chance to stand out?"

"How dare you recommend a Shu person to His Majesty? You are really offending the famous scholars in the Central Plains!" "Just these days, do you know how many letters I have received? They are all talking about you!"

Zhong Hui's expression remained calm. He spoke unhappily, "If we only talk about the classics, Qiao Zhou may not be the strongest, but if we talk about assisting Your Majesty, then he is the most suitable. Like the late Minister Wang, he is adept at adapting and understanding Your Majesty's thoughts. He is the most suitable person to hold such a position and promote the classics Your Majesty needs. If you don't even understand this, how can you reprimand me?"

Zhong Yu's face turned pale. "Before you act, can't you consider something beyond the initial situation? Qiao Zhou is suitable, but have you considered his status? Shu has just been pacified, and the people of the Central Plains are already worried that he will seize what belongs to them. You directly recommend Qiao Zhou, and let him take charge of such a major matter as the study of classics. This will lead to serious consequences."

Zhong Hui sneered.

"This is why you won't be remembered in history!"

"You're all just a bunch of rotten birds staring at carrion!"

"Your Majesty's mission is to educate and enlighten the people for the sake of great unification. From Liao to the Western Regions, from Yunzhong to Jiaozhou, from Nanzhong to Jiangdong, they are all the people of the Great Wei! So what if they are from Shu? If they can do good things, I will recommend them, not only from Shu, but also from the barbarians outside the Great Wall!"

"You spend the whole day thinking about these rubbish, disrupting the government's policies and opposing His Majesty's benevolent rule, and now you want to blame me?!"

Zhong Yu took a deep breath.

"Okay, we are rotten birds, and you are the phoenix."

"Then, Phoenix, who roams the world, your actions have incurred the wrath of many great scholars of the Central Plains. They have decided to unite to refute Qiao Zhou and stop his actions. A task that was already halfway to success has suddenly encountered resistance. How does Phoenix intend to resolve this?"

"Oppose your majesty's benevolent rule? If the study of classics fails, it must be because of this self-important Feng!"

As Zhong Yu spoke, Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, then instantly suppressed his anger and smiled.

"Brother, I was just talking about them, not you."

"Shiji, Shiji."

Zhong Yu said this with gritted teeth, and he didn't know how many times he had crushed Zhong Hui in his heart.

"This is the last time I'll help you out! This is the last time! If you dare to act recklessly and cause trouble again, I will definitely not help you again."

Zhong Hui's eyes lit up, "Brother, have you convinced those people?"

Zhong Yu didn't reply, but stood up angrily. "If you want to do something in the future, tell me first. Don't think you are smart and know everything. Look at what you have done! It's stupid!"

He took a few steps towards the door before noticing the child standing there.

The child raised his head and stood there arrogantly. The more Zhong Yu looked at his appearance, the more familiar it looked.

He looked at Zhong Hui beside him in astonishment.

"You you this this you"

"This is my disciple!"

"Disciple? What's his name?"

"His name is Liu Yuan."

Liu Yuan saluted Zhong Yu.

Zhong Hui explained, "He is the son of Liu Bao of Bingzhou. He originally studied the classics with Minister Wang. Before Minister Wang passed away, he thought that only I could continue to teach his disciples, so he sent him to study with me."

For some reason, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhong Yu's eyes.

But soon he realized something was wrong. Liu Bao?

"Huns?"

"Brother, I just said that all those under your majesty's rule are from Wei!"

Zhong Yu said seriously, "You don't need to tell me. I know about Lord Liu. He was awarded a title for his contributions to education and even became the governor of Bingzhou. Everyone in the world knows about it. Since you are his son, you don't need to stay by your side."

Zhong Hui was stunned. "Why?"

Zhong Yu did not give him any explanation.

The current emperor attaches great importance to this matter of education, and Liu Bao is the most typical one among them. Everyone can see that His Majesty is preparing to use him as a banner. He became the first Hun to serve as a county governor in the Wei Dynasty.

But Zhong Hui is really too dangerous. If Liu Bao's son stays with his younger brother, he might cause a disaster one day. If Liu Bao is involved, the situation will be serious.

Even if he didn't cause any trouble, it's not okay to teach the child the wrong way. Such a good-looking child, but now he looks so arrogant. I won't be able to explain to Liu Bao when he sees him in the future.

He lowered his head, looked at Liu Yuan in front of him, forced a smile, and tried to make himself look gentle, "Liu Yuan, right? Are you willing to study with me?"

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then stared into Zhong Yu's eyes and answered very clearly: "If you drink from the sweet spring, how can you drink from the stagnant water?"

Zhong Hui immediately scolded him, "How dare you, a brat, be so rude to my elder brother?"

Although he was scolding, the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress betrayed him.

He is in a very good mood now!
Zhong Yu put away his smile.

It's too late, there's no hope.

Just follow Zhong Hui and wait for death!
