Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world had been in chaos, the Han Dynasty had declined, and the warlords had been separated. At this critical moment, it was fortunate that Cao Cao, the king of Wei, personally led the army to conquer the world. After unifying China, he did not abolish the emperor and abdicate the throne as the scholars and the people thought. Instead, he created the constitution of the monarch. He respected the king and suppressed the barbarians, and was willing to take the position of prime minister. He can be said to be a hero who rebuilt the Han Dynasty!
After that, a large number of virtuous officials and good ministers emerged in the Federation. Especially Zhuge Kongming of Nanyang, who had the reputation of " giving his all until death ". In the Zhuge family mansion in Nanyang City, Henan Province, a child about eight years old bowed to the middle-aged man in front of him and said,"Father, this child will set off for Luoyang now.”
Looking at the youngest son in front of him, Zhuge Ji said with relief,""My son, have a safe journey. Remember that Luoyang is different from Nanyang, and you must be careful not to be rash, especially in Zhujin City. Now that the emperor only had one heir, and now that he had chosen a study companion for him, the position of heir apparent was already justified. This time, when you go to the capital, you must be on good terms with His Highness the Prince and take yourself as your confidant. When the new ruler ascends to the throne in the future, my son will be a consort!”
This child was Zhuge Huairen, one of the two study partners chosen by the emperor for Liu Yu. He was indeed worthy of being the Zhuge family who upheld integrity and loyalty to the emperor. Although Zhuge Huairen was still young, he already had the demeanor of a famous scholar. He said solemnly,"Huai Ren will definitely remember father's words and will never disappoint you.”
"In that case, father can rest assured. Alright, don't let the messenger wait for too long. My son, hurry up and leave!”Zhuge Ji said as he looked at the people who came to pick him up.
In the east of Luoyang City, in an inconspicuous mansion, a similar scene was playing out. Among the many aristocratic families in the Federation, the Li family was not known by many aristocratic families, so Tian Zi was quite surprised when he heard the name of the Li family. However, the Li family, which had previously been almost hidden among the aristocratic families, had now attracted the attention of the entire Federation overnight. No one would have thought that this humble family would be fortunate enough to be favored by the Emperor and that their son would become the prince's study companion.
As everyone knew, the current emperor only had one prince, Liu Yu, and the future candidate for the crown prince was already a certainty. In addition, the famous scholar of the Federation, Old Master Wei, who taught the prince's studies, had repeatedly praised His Highness for being " born with knowledge " and had the demeanor of a wise ruler. The emperor would be delighted to choose a study partner for the prince, and his future identity as the emperor would be even clearer. If he could accompany the prince to school now, he would definitely be able to make a contribution when the prince ascended the throne in the future. Look at the current Grand Commanders and Generals. They had studied together with the current emperor when they were young, and now they were at the top of the officials and were the emperor's confidants.
Therefore, the other families were even more envious of the Li family. This family that had never shown their talents actually had such an outstanding Saint Child! He could imagine that if nothing unexpected happened in the future, his son would definitely be able to soar and have a bright future.
Li Xingke was the eldest son of Li Shang, the head of the Li family. His performance at such a young age was already extraordinary. Compared to the refined Zhuge Huairen, he was filled with a different heroic spirit.
"Father, please don't worry about me. I will definitely take good care of myself in Zhujin City!”Dressed in a tight suit, the mature Dawnstar said goodbye to his father.
Patriarch Li stroked his beard and looked at Dawnstar seriously."Star Carving, it is our Li family's fortune to be favored by the emperor. You and the prince must strictly observe the etiquette of a minister and not show any disrespect. Although my Li family is a small family, we can't let others look down on us. Otherwise, we will let down His Majesty's trust.”
"I understand. I won't let you down!”After saying that, Li Xingke turned around and walked towards the car waiting outside the mansion.
The two youths with different identities and personalities began their journey with excitement and hesitation. The road ahead was destined to be filled with opportunities and challenges.
Zhujin City, the imperial palace located north of Luoyang City, had become the political center of the Federation the moment it was built. After a few thousand years of expansion, it now occupied nearly 300 hectares of land. The exquisiteness of its architecture and the complexity of its design were all admired by the world!
An electric car was driving on the palace road leading to Dongming Palace. Zhujin City was too big, and the different palaces were far apart, so after the car was invented, it became a means of transportation in Zhujin City. The two teenagers in the car were nervously looking at the scenery outside the car. The two young heroes were stunned by the majesty of Zhujin City. No matter how talented and intelligent they were, they were still children. When they first entered this emperor's journey, they were naturally terrified.
However, when they thought about how they would have to stay here for the rest of their lives and accompany the prince in his studies, they felt that it was too late. The two young men couldn't help but feel their hearts surge! They hurriedly restrained their expressions. If the prince saw them in such a state, it would be a great loss of etiquette. Zhuge Huairen had no problem in this aspect. The Zhuge family had inherited thousands of years of upbringing, and etiquette allowed him to deal with it easily. However, Li Xingke, who came from a military aristocratic family, was a little at a loss. He was either checking if his clothes were clean or recalling the etiquette knowledge he had learned before coming, afraid that he would do something disrespectful in front of His Highness.
Dongming Hall, which belonged to Weiyang Palace, was the place where the royal family studied. However, after the 80th generation of the Federation's emperor, the royal family's population declined. In recent times, there was only one line of descendants. As a result, Eastern Light Hall was gradually becoming the place where the imperial family kept their books! Liu Yu, who had arrived early in the palace, was lying on the table in a disgraceful manner. She was secretly peeping at a small picture album. In the eyes of outsiders, especially the emperor and empress, Liu Yu had always been gentle, cultured, and well-mannered. However, at this moment, Liu Yu was like a thief who was stealing. Her eyes glanced at the door from time to time and found that there was no movement. She immediately continued to enjoy the album with relish. Perhaps he was too engrossed in reading it, or perhaps he was very clear about the arrival time of the Headmaster, so he became bold and directly spread the album on the table.
Liu Yu, who was engrossed in watching, muttered to herself,"Hehe, how interesting! This drawing was so interesting. It was much more fun than memorizing the Three Character Classic and Three Hundred Thousand.”However, he did not expect two unexpected people to barge in.
Zhuge Huairen and Li Xingke rode to the back of Dongming Hall and walked up the stairs to knock on the door twice. However, there was no movement in the hall for a long time. He thought that the knocking was too light and did not hear it inside. He knocked a few more times. Realizing that there was still no response, the two of them could not help but look at each other and think, Could it be that they came early? He opened the door without hesitation.
Sometimes, the quality of a relationship between people was often decided at the first meeting. Some people hit it off at first sight and wished they could immediately cut off the chicken head and burn yellow paper to become brothers with different surnames! However, some people just didn't like each other when they met. Even when the other party peed, they didn't think the arc was perfect enough. There were many reasons for such a different result. For example, if someone was caught doing something bad, it was obviously not a good start.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. The people outside the hall were staring blankly at a certain guy who was still smiling foolishly. The people inside the hall were also staring at him with stiff faces.
"Cough, cough, cough. Actually, I accidentally discovered this book. Seeing that its content was novel, I couldn't help but take it and appreciate it. Yes, I'm appreciating it!”Liu Yu was the first to break the atmosphere.
The two of them were speechless, but hearing the other party call himself Gu, and thinking that he could enter and exit Dongming Hall and was about the same age as them, wasn't this His Highness the prince?
"This subject Li Xingke (Zhuge Huairen) greets Your Highness.”The two of them did not dare to think too much and hurriedly bowed.
"Oh, no need for formalities!" Liu Yu, who was obviously still in a daze, said in a daze. "Wait, who are you guys?" Why did you come in without knocking? I was so shocked that I thought it was the Headmaster!”
The two of them looked at Liu Yu speechlessly. Please knock on the door several times. You were too engrossed in it. The two of them were about to answer when an old voice sounded behind them."What are you guys doing standing outside the door?" Liu Yu looked at the old man who appeared outside the door in a daze and forgot to put away the album in her hand for a moment.
The person who came was an old man in his sixties. He was dressed in a plain robe. His beard and hair had long turned white, but he was full of energy. His clear eyes were looking at Zhuge Huairen and Dawn Star, who were standing outside the door, in confusion.
Seeing this old man, the two of them guessed his identity and hurriedly bowed."Student Li Xingke (Zhuge Huairen) greets teacher!”
"Oh, it's you guys!" Hearing the two's words, the old man's doubts were dispelled. Then, he said solemnly,"Since you are the prince's study companions personally chosen by His Majesty, you should be diligent and studious in the future. Don't be negligent, or you will disappoint the emperor.”
"Yes, I will remember your teachings.”The two of them did not dare to slack off at all.
Looking at the two well-educated and well-mannered youths in front of him, the old man was very satisfied. He could not help but admire the emperor's vision. He sent such a Saint Child to him. As long as he carefully taught him, he would definitely be the pillar of the country in the future. Moreover, His Highness is also talented and intelligent. He has the appearance of a wise ruler. In the future, the two of them will definitely be wise rulers and virtuous ministers! Thinking of this, the old man looked at the prince with a gratified gaze.
At this moment, our future wise ruler was secretly stuffing something into his arms. He looked like a thief who was touching someone's wallet. Such an ecstatic posture naturally made the old man furious.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? How could the dignified crown prince of the Federation lose his composure like this!”
Liu Yu, who was scolded, was shocked. She quickly stood up and wanted to bow to the Headmaster, but the thing in her arms fell out when she moved.
A book with a red cover fell to the ground. On the cover, the words "Golden Lotus" stimulated the eyes of the three people. The old man looked at the book on the ground in a daze, his entire body trembling.
