The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

The servant immediately bowed his head and replied respectfully: "My lord, Lord Bo'an is in the backyard."

"Backyard? Is there something wrong?"

"Yes."

Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and then asked, "What about Tian Gongshi and General Xianyu?"

“In the backyard, too.”

"Here too?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered if they were discussing something important.

"Where's Master Liu He? Isn't he also in the backyard?"

That's not the case. The servant replied that Master Liu He had not returned and should have gone to Youbeiping with Gongsun Zan.

Since Liu Yu and his confidants were discussing important matters in the backyard and didn't even have time to come and see Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Zhaoqing thought about it and decided to wait in the guest hall until he finished his work.

Yuan Shao has just issued a manifesto, and it will take some time for the world to respond, so there is no need to rush.

In this way, Liu Zhaoqing, led by the servant, came to the living room to drink tea and eat snacks, patiently waiting for Liu Yu.

During this time, I chatted with Xun Yu about what happened in Luoyang some time ago. After all, there was a limited amount of letter paper, and there were many things that Xun Yu did not mention.

For example, Zhao Zhong was killed by Lu Bu in order to protect the young emperor. Xun Yu was waiting in the restaurant before Cao Cao assassinated him. After Liu Zhaoqing left, Cao Cao often went to Xun Yu to ask about his affairs. Before Yuan Shao openly opposed Dong Zhuo, it was Cao Cao who stole the documents written by Liu Yu...

After asking several questions in succession, Xun Yu suddenly stared at Liu Zhaoqing.

Feeling his gaze, Liu Zhaoqing asked in confusion while holding the tea: "What's wrong?"

"Zhao Qing seems to be more curious about Cao Cao?" Xun Yu said.

"Ah, is there any?"

This is so true.

The little girl leaning against the pillar could feel the concern of the patriarch when he asked about Cao Cao, which was obviously abnormal.

Xun Yu also thought so: "Zhao Qing had deliberately avoided Cao Cao when she was in Luoyang before. Now she must have been inspired by her righteous act, right? And he personally saved her."

"Although Cao Cao is not very powerful, he has great ambitions. Making friends with him will be of great benefit to Zhao Qing's future."

Liu Zhaoqing quickly nodded to express his approval of Xun Yu's words.

Just when Xun Yu wanted to ask something, suddenly a loud noise came from outside, startling all three of them.

"Is this noise in... the backyard?"

Liu Zhaoqing put down the teacup and hurriedly asked Xun Yu to stay here. Then he became worried and asked his daughter to protect Xun Yu.

Then he took out the Seven-Star Sword from his waist, quickly left the living room and headed towards the backyard.

As soon as I went out, I saw a cloud of dust rolling in from the backyard wall.

Liu Zhaoqing realized that something might have happened to Liu Yu, so he jumped onto the courtyard wall. When he landed on the other side of the wall, he was surrounded by white smoke and dust, and he could not see anything at all.

When Liu Zhaoqing was about to call out Liu Yu's name, a few coughs suddenly came from the smoke and dust.

"Ahem, ahem, Tian Congshi, this is too shabby, isn't it?"

“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, could it be that it’s not Xianyu… General Xianyu, you are too strong? I told you to be careful, be careful…”

"How can it be that I am stronger? Ahem, Tian Congshi, it was obviously you who made this thing, ahem, the quality is not good."

"How can it be that the quality is bad? This is the fine material that I bought from Laoshan in Bingzhou at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars. Cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough, let Lord Bo'an, cough cough cough, Lord Bo'an give me the correct answer, cough cough cough cough cough."

"Okay, okay, the two of you stop talking at this time. Dust is going in and out of your mouth, as if you've ascended to heaven." Liu Yu's helpless voice was heard from the smoke and dust at this time.

At this time, the smoke and dust in the yard slowly dissipated, and Liu Zhaoqing saw Liu Yu, Tian Chou and Xianyu Fu standing together, and not far away there were a few servants and craftsmen with their mouths and noses covered.

In front of Liu Yu and others, there was a huge rectangular stone slab.

It looked like the stone slab was already cracked in half, and it seemed that the smoke and dust just now was caused by this.

"Marquis of Changping?"

Just at this moment, the servant saw Liu Zhaoqing and cried out in surprise.

"Huh? How do you know this is for Marquis Changping?" Xian Yu Fu looked at the servant in confusion.

He remembered that Lord Bo'an had told several people about this matter.

The servant quickly pointed behind them.

Liu Yu and others turned around and saw Liu Zhaoqing at this time, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Liu Zhaoqing was also stunned for a moment.

"It's really Zhao Qing?" Liu Yu was surprised. "Why are you here at this time? Didn't He'er come to find you?"

Then he found that Liu Zhaoqing had been staring at their cheeks. Then the three of them touched their faces and wiped off a layer of white ash before realizing that their faces were already covered with white light.

The three people who had been staring at the stone slab on the ground didn't notice it, but after looking at each other, they all burst into laughter.

Liu Yu laughed twice, then immediately called the servants and said, "Come, quickly bring two basins of clean water so that we can wash our faces. Also bring a few pots of tea to clean our mouths and noses, so as not to scare Zhao Qing."

After the servants brought clean water and tea, Liu Yu, who was washing his face, asked Liu Zhaoqing to sit aside and drink some tea first.

Just at this time, Xun Yu and my daughter also came to the backyard.

Xun Yu was puzzled when he saw this scene: "What happened?"

Liu Zhaoqing also remembered that he had not yet asked Liu Yu and the others what they were doing.

"Have some tea first." After wiping his face, Liu Yu came to Liu Zhaoqing and picked up a bowl of tea.

Then he looked at the large stone slab on the ground and said, "It's nothing, just erecting a monument for you."

These words made Liu Zhaoqing, who had just taken a sip of tea, spit out the tea.

"What??"

Seeing Liu Zhaoqing's surprised look, Liu Yu said, "I will record your deeds, especially the battle in Mobei, and set it up outside Jicheng so that people who come and go in Youzhou can know about it. How about that? Not bad, right?"

"what??"

"Oh? Zhao Qing is not satisfied?" Liu Yu thought about it and nodded slightly; "That's right, it shouldn't be just Jicheng that has it, Changping should also have one."

"Zitai, can you see if you can get a second piece of material?"

After wiping his face, Tian Chou frowned and thought seriously: "It's not easy. In Bingzhou, stones of the same quality and size have basically been booked by the noble families. There are larger ones, but they are so big that they can be used to make statues. It would be a waste to use them for monuments."

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. We can build a statue for Zhao Qing later. The remaining material can be used to build a monument. You see, this won't be a waste, right?"

"Mr. Bo'an, what a wise idea!"

Tian Chou and Xian Yu Fu nodded at the same time.

Only Liu Zhaoqing was dumbfounded.

I am only twenty years old, why am I already erecting a monument?

Xun Yu smiled, and at this time he even saluted, not caring that the matter was so serious that he became angry: "Lord Bo'an's generosity is truly greater than the wings of a roc."

Liu Yu was so pleased with the compliment that he stroked his long beard which was still covered with dust.

Liu Zhaoqing looked towards Xun Yu helplessly, his aggrieved eyes almost made the little girl who usually had a stern face beside him unable to hold back.

"Why does Young Master Zhaoqing have such an expression?" Tian Chou asked puzzledly when he saw the dumbfounded Liu Zhaoqing.

After wiping his face, Xian Yu Fu, who had a full beard, laughed: "Do I need to think about this? You must be too happy and don't know how to respond to Lord Bo'an's kindness, right?"

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand modestly: "Of course this is not my credit. If it weren't for Zhao Qing's achievements, I wouldn't have any reason to erect a monument for him."

The three of them sang in unison, seemingly completely ignoring Liu Zhaoqing's thoughts, until Liu Zhaoqing put down his teacup and expressed his doubts. Only then did they realize that Liu Zhaoqing's attitude towards this matter was so... strange.

"Only twenty? What does that matter?" Liu Yu asked puzzledly.

"Merit has nothing to do with age. It doesn't mean that you have to die before you can erect a monument or statue."

"But..." Seeing that Liu Yu still insisted, Liu Zhaoqing wanted to persuade him again, but he hesitated and didn't know what reason to find.

After all, what Liu Yu said was indeed correct. With such a great achievement, not to mention erecting a monument, even being granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households again would not be a problem.

Liu Yu also saw that the document he submitted to the court had not received a response for a long time, so he thought of rewarding Liu Zhaoqing in his own way, and at the same time encouraged the outstanding people of Youzhou to take him as an example.

"Why is Zhao Qing still looking so sad?" Liu Yu asked puzzledly again.

At this time, Xun Yu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Lord Bo'an, you don't know that Zhaoqing is not a person who likes to show off and take credit. When he saved the people in Pingyuan, he never asked for a monument. When he eliminated the treacherous officials and assisted the government in Luoyang, he never asked for money or official positions. He could even give up the position of the Nine Ministers."

"Although the achievement of pacifying Mobei this time is great, Zhao Qing himself has always believed that it is not his own achievement, and his ambition is far from stopping there. Even if a monument or a statue is erected, it should be for all the heroes, soldiers and civilians who participated in the battle of Mobei."

"Together?" Xian Yufu raised his thick eyebrows and exclaimed, "How many steles would that require? I guess the stones consumed would be enough to rebuild a large city, right?"

Only a military general would really feel the need to do so. Xun Yu's words were of course just a metaphor, reflecting Liu Zhaoqing's humility and indifference.

Of course Liu Yu also heard it. He stroked his long beard and thought about it carefully. It seemed to be true.

If Liu Zhaoqing wanted these things, why would he have to wait until now?

When Pingyuan first started out, he managed the chaos in the Yellow River, fought bloody battles against dragons, and spent all his wealth just for the people. These points were enough for him to have a monument and a statue erected in the local county.

"That's true. I was too judgmental and thought Zhao Qing just needed these false names to prove himself." Liu Yu was silent for a moment and reflected seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Xun Yu.

It still had to be Wen Ruo, who not only understood himself but was also able to use appropriate words to explain and convince Liu Yu.

However, Liu Zhaoqing obviously underestimated the experience of Lord Bo'an.

After reflection, Liu Yu said: "Since I don't want fame, then I won't use Zhao Qing as the stele. Instead, I will use the soldiers who died in the Battle of Mobei as the stele. I will write the inscription and evaluation, and then sign Zhao Qing's name. Isn't that enough?"

Xian Yu Fu and Tian Chou thought about it and clapped their hands: "Great! Lord Bo'an's move is absolutely brilliant!"

"..."

But if that's the case, then it really doesn't matter, and Liu Zhaoqing could only agree.

He was not disgusted by this behavior, but felt that it was not the time to celebrate his achievements.

His great undertaking has not yet been accomplished, and he only controls one city. It is far from the time to enjoy himself.

Liu Yu understood this truth after being reminded by Xun Yu. After resolving Liu Zhaoqing's doubts and worries, Liu Yu was still in a good mood.

At this time, he also realized that Xun Yu in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, good manners, and a somewhat familiar face.

When Liu Yu inquired and found out that it was Xun Yu from the Xun family, he suddenly realized.

"That's right. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. I met Xun Shuang when I went to Luoyang a few years ago. At that time, you were only as tall as the girl next to Zhao Qing, haha."

Xun Yu smiled and nodded.

"Alas, I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. I heard that Xun Shuang was also summoned to the capital by Dong Zhuo recently. He can't live a leisurely life now, right?" After Liu Yu sighed, he turned his head to look at Xun Yu.

"By the way, what are the Xun family doing in Youzhou? Are they here to look for Zhao Qing? I heard from Zhao Qing and others that you were very familiar with each other when you were in Luoyang, and Zhao Qing even lived in the Xun Mansion for a long time?"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoqing knew that this was the best time to get to the point.

"Wen Ruo came here this time because the situation in Luoyang has changed drastically, and just now, I also learned about an event that could plunge the world into a chaos worse than the end of the Qin Dynasty..."

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing told Liu Yu about Dong Zhuo's dethronement and his assassination by Cao Cao, and then he went to rescue Cao Cao. Soon after he came back, he learned that Yuan Shao had raised an army in Bohai and called on the princes of the world to unite against Dong.

Liu Yu's expression went from relaxed to increasingly solemn, and by the time Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, his brows were already deeply furrowed.

"Such a major thing happened in Luoyang in such a short time." Tian Chou frowned and murmured.

Xian Yu Fu stopped laughing and talked, holding his chin and frowning in thought.

Youzhou is far away from Sili, and most of the political turmoil is unlikely to have much impact on the border areas.

But this time it was completely different. Liu Yu knew that this was a catastrophe for the people of the world and also a catastrophe for the Han Dynasty.

"I thought that with the pacification of Mobei, there would be hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty. The words 'will revive' are no longer out of reach." Liu Yu sighed and shook his head.

"Now something like this has happened. After this catastrophe, I don't know how many people will become kings and emperors, and how much of the destiny of the Han Dynasty will be shattered."

"But it is necessary to oppose Dong." Liu Zhaoqing said to Liu Yu.

"Dong Zhuo had already deposed the emperor, and as prime minister he already had enormous power, yet he still wore a sword and sandals when he entered the palace, did not bow when entering the court, and did not use his name when praising or bowing."

"If we let it go, what will she do in the future?"

In response to Liu Zhaoqing's question, Liu Yu, Tian Chou and others remained silent.

Liu Zhaoqing did not hold back and continued to speak frankly: "Give him the nine gifts, the imperial seal and the axe, and let him ride in the emperor's carriage. Then, he will imitate Wang Mang and become the fake emperor first, then announce it to the world and let the Han emperor build a platform and abdicate."
