The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 788 Whose bad thing is this? !
"teacher"

Liu Xuan stood at the gate of Luoyang City, looking at Sun Yan in the carriage, his eyes filled with reluctance.

At this moment, Sun Yan was sitting dejectedly in the carriage, and his family members were wiping away tears.

The knights around were staring at them with cold eyes.

Sun Yan looked at Liu Xuan in front of him, wanting to say something, but in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.

"I was too anxious. It's all my fault."

Liu Xuan looked at the knights around him, and thought that the famous scholar who was still in Luoyang yesterday and full of vigor was about to embark on the road to Guangzhou today, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"Xuan."

"I used to have many good friends and taught many disciples. I never thought that today, when I'm in trouble, you're the only one who dares to stop the carriage and come to see me off. Hahaha. Well, I can't say I've accomplished nothing if I've taught such an outstanding disciple."

Sun Yan regained his spirits and looked at Liu Xuan in front of him seriously.

"Xuan, although His Majesty is cruel, he has always respected talented people. You are different from others. You not only understand academic research, but also have the ability to govern. If you want to become a useful talent, you still need to become a Lang in the Shangshu first. I hope my affairs will not bring you any trouble."

"From now on, just focus on government affairs, work hard to improve yourself, and don't worry too much about academic matters."

"I'm heading to Guangzhou this time, and I honestly don't know if I can make it there alive. No matter what, please don't be dissatisfied with this matter. I hope you can achieve great things and make my name famous! I've been mediocre all my life, not as good as Wang Su in academics, and even less good at governing. If I can leave my name in history because of you, then this old man will have achieved his wish!"

After hearing what Sun Yan said, Liu Xuan felt even more reluctant.

"Teacher, what happened? Why is it so sudden? Can you think of another solution?"

Sun Yan smiled.

"It's nothing, I just need to stay away from those people in the Imperial College. Okay, you can go back too. Don't stand in the way any longer. You still have a bright future ahead of you. How can you let it be delayed because of an old man like me?"

“Go back! Go back!!”

Sun Yan scolded a few words and got on the carriage again. The knights looked at Liu Xuan deeply, and then escorted Sun Yan and his party away.

Liu Xuan stood there, just watching the teacher slowly disappear in the distance, without saying a word.

Liu Xuan sighed and just turned around when he saw two armored soldiers standing in front of him.

Liu Xuan was stunned, and the soldier said, "Mr. Liu, please come with us."

broken
However, unlike what Liu Xuan had expected, they did not take Liu Xuan to the Ministry of Justice, but instead took him all the way up to the city wall.

On the city wall, there stood a man, staring into the distance.

When Liu Xuan saw the groups of soldiers around him, he roughly knew the other party's identity.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!!"

"Get up."

Liu Xuan stood up, lowered his head, and dared not say much.

Cao Mao stood there, wrapped in a fur coat, gazing into the distance. "People these days don't care about anything for fame. How dare you block my soldiers? For the sake of fame, do you even care about me?"

"I have to let you go with your teacher today."

Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Xuan simply frowned and said, "I know I have made a mistake. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will not object. But how unjustly has my teacher been wronged?"

"The Imperial Academy is filled with treacherous villains. My teacher has always been loyal to Your Majesty and has never done anything to harm Your Majesty. Yet, Your Majesty does not take action against those treacherous villains in the Imperial Academy, but instead exiles my teacher. What's the logic behind this?"

Zhang Hua, who was standing not far away, immediately frowned, "How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty?!"

Cao Mao slowly turned around and stared at Liu Xuan coldly.

Liu Xuan felt creepy at this moment, as if he was going to be thrown off the city wall in the next moment.

"Hahaha~~"

Cao Mao suddenly laughed.

He looked at Zhang Hua beside him and said, "Well, didn't I tell you? This guy is not after fame, he values friendship."

Zhang Hua no longer had the fierceness he had just shown. He smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is truly wise."

Looking at the two people chatting, Liu Xuan was confused.

What's happening here? ?

Cao Mao then gently said to Liu Xuan: "Don't worry, I will not exile you."

"Sun Yan committed a grave error. He sent his wife to persuade the Queen to appoint him as the Crown Prince's tutor. There's nothing wrong with seeking an official position, but he was deliberately trying to get close to the Crown Prince. I didn't kill him out of consideration for the Queen's sake."

Liu Xuan was shocked. It was the first time he heard of this.

"But why would the teacher do such a thing?"

"Revitalize the school."

"Zheng Xue became increasingly dejected. Finally, his leader could no longer sit still. He had previously attempted to gain an opportunity by betraying the traitor, but that failed. He then considered trying to get close to the Crown Prince."

"In fact, Sun Yan is quite knowledgeable. It's a pity that he was delayed by these trivial matters."

Cao Mao said a few words and then looked at Liu Xuan, "Now you know what mistakes your teacher made, right?"

Liu Xuan's face flushed red as he quickly saluted, "I acknowledge my guilt."

Cao Mao shook his head. "I still like you very much. Many people have recommended you and said that you can take on important positions."

"It's really a waste of talent for someone like you to stay in the Imperial Academy."

"Go to the Shangshu and become a Lang, learn how to handle government affairs, and you will surely have the opportunity to display your talents in the future."

"Yes!" Liu Xuan hurriedly bowed his head.

Liu Xuan was the Xiongnu Han's number one counselor and minister, and the first prime minister. Liu Yuan's success was inseparable from his full support.

Cao Mao waved his hand and Liu Xuan left.

Cao Mao continued to stand here, watching the people's lives in the distance.

"Maoxian, these people are starting to target the prince. They want to bring down someone who will cause chaos in my family."

This is also an old trick. If you can't defeat the powerful emperor, then harm his successor. The prince's childhood playmates and teachers will have a great influence on the prince.

And once the prince comes to power, everything will naturally be reshuffled.

The entire country will develop in a different direction. For example, Emperor Yuan of Han, Liu Shi, in history.

Cao Mao also had a plan in mind at this moment. There was no need to recruit any great scholar for enlightenment.

It’s just teaching him to recognize words. Does he need someone else to teach him?

Cao Mao felt that he could do the job if he took some time.

The enlightenment teacher will have a great influence on the prince, so it is better to let himself do it. As for the study of classics and other aspects when he is older, let the Grand Marshal appoint a tutor to teach him.

Our Grand Marshal is not only good at fighting, but also has first-class skills in managing economic affairs.

When he grows up a little more, there will be Zhong Hui, forget about that, there is also Zhang Hua!

It’s not that Cao Mao didn’t trust Zhong Hui, but this guy could easily lead the child astray. Cao Mao couldn’t imagine having an emperor who was arrogant, domineering, and jealous of talented people.

Just as the two were looking into the distance, they suddenly saw a group of people appear in the distance, stirring up a cloud of sand.

The pedestrians looked particularly irritable and refused to give way along the way. The knights led the way and rushed around recklessly, causing the caravans to avoid them and dare not say a word.

Cao Mao was furious.

"How dare you be so presumptuous under the feet of the Emperor?! Maoxian! Go stop that person! I want to see whose son of a bitch this is!"

Zhang Hua hurried down.

Soon, the soldiers were seen surrounding those people.

Cao Mao was waiting when Zhang Hua came up with a troubled look on his face.

He looked behind him and said, "Bring it up."

Then I saw several soldiers escorting Cao Qi, the King of Donghai, towards me.

Cao Qi took small steps and tentatively walked in front of Cao Mao.

"Brother."

"Okay, okay, it's my house!"

Cao Mao's face turned red. "Come here, take this fellow away and give him ten lashes!"

Cao Qi hurriedly explained, "Brother! Brother! I have something urgent to report! That's why I left in a hurry! I didn't hurt anyone along the way!"

Zhang Hua also hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, the King of Donghai is a kind man. This incident must have a reason."

"implement!"

Cao Mao said sternly.

The soldiers immediately took Cao Qi away.

Shu Jineng and others were trembling.

Cao Mao saw them again and said, "Drag these guys down here too, and beat them together!"

They were dragged away before they even had a chance to defend themselves.

Zhang Hua hesitated to speak.

Cao Mao said seriously, "A mistake is a mistake. If we indulge him today, he will surely make even bigger mistakes in the future. Mao, please stop trying to persuade him!"

Zhang Hua didn't dare to plead anymore.

Cao Mao returned to Taiji Hall.

The few people who were beaten were now standing in front of Cao Mao.

Led by Cao Qi.

He Qiao had never expected that this return to Luoyang would be so exciting.

He had just returned to Luoyang and was dragged away and beaten before he even entered the city gate.

Fortunately, the soldier showed mercy, otherwise I would have to lie down now.

Shu Jineng and Liu Hong also looked helpless at this moment. They wondered if they had left a bad impression on the emperor.

"Tell me, what's driving you so anxious that you want to crush the people and rush into Luoyang?"

Cao Qi endured the pain and said seriously, "Brother, the Qinghe County Magistrate is being partial and perverting the law!"

He explained in detail that when Cao Qi and his friends were wandering in Jizhou, they encountered a group of refugees. This surprised Cao Qi. Weren't the refugees all gathered by his brother to work as farmers? How could they still be here?
During the conversation, they discovered the differences of these refugees. They were tall, handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and spoke fluently. How could they be refugees?

They then searched around Qinghe County and later learned that when Qinghe County exiled the big family, it deliberately lied and concealed the family's property, using some distant relatives and branches to impersonate the main people who should be exiled. Those who should have been exiled changed their surnames and names and left the area with the converted money.

Cao Qi did not dare to make it public or tell anyone else. Guanqiu Jian had already returned to Youzhou, so he could only rush to Luoyang.
