The task of carving chess pieces was considered easy for Liu Bei. With his previous sculpting experience, even with the curious baby Cai Yong by his side, it wouldn't affect him much.
Before dark, Liu Bei had already carved five sets of chess pieces. He would make five more chessboards at night.
In fact, if it was fast, Liu Bei could draw five pieces of paper chessboard with a pen, but Liu Bei did not want to make do with it. Not only did he have to make five wooden chessboards, but he also had to make five boxes to hold the chess pieces.
"Xuande, how do you plan to distribute these chess sets?”Cai Yong asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, it's up to you." Liu Bei said without thinking,"If there is a need, I can engrave it anytime."”
"I see." Cai Yong thought for a moment and said," Meng De provided us with the best Nanmu wood. We have to give him one. I'll keep one for myself and another."”
"Sir, are you preparing to send the deputy into the palace?”Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Cai Yong would not give up on telling the Saint about his feelings. This was a life-threatening matter.
To Liu Bei, Cai Yong was more important than Emperor Liu Hong. Even the dead Emperor Liu Hong couldn't kill Cai Yong.
Cai Yong's erudition was needless to say. Even his creation of the Feibai calligraphy font, as well as his revision of the Xi Ping Stone Scripture, and his participation in the continuation of the Han Dynasty in the East View were all recorded in history.
In history, when Cai Yong died, the big shot Zheng Xuan heard the news and sighed,"Who will be the judge of the Han Dynasty?”
Even after a thousand years, people were still sighing over Cai Yong's death.
And who was Emperor Liu Hong?
How many people remember?
If it wasn't for this guy who started the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, even the web authors who wrote time-travel novels in the future wouldn't have bothered with him.
As for Cai Yong, he was a national treasure and an indispensable figure in the inheritance of the Chinese civilization. He should be treated well and he should live a long life.
This was what Liu Bei thought, and he would do his best to protect her. This was the meaning of transmigration.
"Xuande, as a subject of the Han Dynasty, it is my duty to share the king's wealth and worries.”Cai Yong sighed and said,"Only when the world is stable can I feel at ease!"”
Cai Yong was one of the few wise men in the world. He was a man of great wisdom. How could he not understand the powerful relationship between them? How could he not know that he would be suppressed after opening the lid? He knew very well.
However, just as he said, for peace of mind! A real man has to do something and not do something, or even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
Cai Yong had his country and the world in his heart. He had the determination and courage to prove his Dao with his own body. In this era, it was rare and precious. What could Liu Bei say?
Relatively speaking, Cai Yong was able to use the tribute chess to remonstrate, which was already a roundabout accommodation. At least it was much better than directly denouncing the abuses and blaming the court for inaction.
The latter would cause Cai Yong to bleed, but the former still had a chance to save him.
"Sir, this disciple's surname is also Liu." Liu Bei still wanted to save her,""The world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, and the officials are corrupt. I am also anxious, but this cannot be resolved by the Holy Emperor's advice.”
"What does Xuande mean?" Cai Yong said in an unfriendly tone,"Xuande, don't forget that your surname is not only Liu, but you are also a relative of the Han clan. There are some things that should be said, and some things that really can't enter the ears of others."”
Liu Bei could feel Cai Yong's love for him, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei could not let Cai Yong walk down the old path of history. The thought of a national treasure being exiled was heartbreaking.
Therefore, Liu Bei did not answer and asked,"Sir, whose world is this?"”
"Is there a need to ask?" Cai Yong cupped his hands and said,"The Han Dynasty is ruling the world today. The emperor's surname is Liu. Naturally, it belongs to the Liu family."”
"No, it's the aristocratic families 'world now.”Liu Bei put down the chess carving knife and said seriously,""From the royal court to the local areas, everything is under the control of the aristocratic families. Even the military has long since taken over. In this way, could meeting the emperor solve the current situation in the world?”
For now, it was a problem whether Emperor Liu Hong's decree could be issued by Si Li. As for the rest of the country, hehe, I'm afraid they haven't woken up yet. It's better to wash up and sleep. The imperial edict won't arrive at the place very early on.
"The world of the aristocratic families?" Cai Yong muttered. He thought for a moment and smiled bitterly,"Thinking about it carefully, it's true. The path of promotion, a large amount of fertile land, and countless talents are all in the hands of the aristocratic families.”
"That's not right. In that case, don't the aristocratic families have the reason and motivation to govern the world together? How could he allow the world to be in turmoil? Harming others would not benefit him!”Cai Yong was a little confused by Liu Bei and had forgotten about Liu Bei's treason.
"They think the Emperor should take turns.”Liu Bei said,""If you don't destroy, you won't establish. If you destroy, you will establish.”
Cai Yong didn't comment on this, his expression was calm, as if he said unintentionally,""Xuande, what do you plan to do?"
"Teacher, it doesn't matter what I do.”Liu Bei relaxed his brows and said,"I believe that the world belongs to the people of the world, not to one person, one family." The world was the people's hearts. Those who obtained the people's hearts would obtain the world. Those who valued the people would prosper the world. Otherwise, they would be knocked down to dust and turned into ashes.”
“……。”Cai Yong opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
It wasn't that Cai Yong couldn't refute, but Liu Bei's words were too unorthodox. For a moment, Cai Yong couldn't believe that these were words that Liu Bei could say.
Sure enough, Cai Yong broke the silence and said,""Xuande, do you know how many people in this world are literate? If you can't read, how can you govern the world? You know it!"
Liu Bei bowed to Cai Yong and said," Sir, to change the world, we must open up the wisdom of the people. We need a righteous scholar like you to educate the people."”
"Hehe, Xuande is digging up the roots of the aristocratic families!”Cai Yong smiled and said,"It's okay to talk to me, but don't go around shouting. Otherwise, there's no place for you in this world."”
Cai Yong was not joking, and he did not take Liu Bei's words seriously. Cai Yong did not believe what Liu Bei said, or it was impossible for him to do it.
It could only be said that one's horizons determined one's height, and one's knowledge determined one's thinking. Without experiencing the people's war, one would never be able to imagine what kind of power the vast number of people had.
"Thank you for your teachings, sir. Disciple understands.”Liu Bei nodded his head and became obedient.
Liu Bei did not intend to convince Cai Yong. He only wanted to give him a reminder. The intention of the injection was to change Cai Yong's fate of being homeless.
"It's good that you understand! When you have time, read more books and play chess with me.”Cai Yong rubbed his back and went to the back hall.
……
"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Lady Cai, who was in the back hall, saw her husband walking in while rubbing his waist and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Cai Yong sat down by the corner of the table and said with a smile,"Furen, I'm fine. It's all that Xuande's fault. He was playing Chinese chess in the courtyard. Not only did he tire out my old waist, but I also didn't even practice my words today.”
Lady Cai covered her mouth and laughed. Old Master's waist cannot be broken, the Cai family must have a male.”
"Sigh, there will be times in life, but there is no time in life.”Cai Yong sighed and thought of his ex-wife.
Cai Yong's current wife was a second wife. She was the daughter of an official with good looks. She was nearly half the age of Cai Yong, but she was well-educated, virtuous, and virtuous.
"Eldest Sister left after giving birth to Yan 'er. She's also a person with a bitter life.”Mrs. Cai was not angry because Cai Yong missed his ex-wife. Instead, she said kindly,"Old Master, it's been half a year. It's time to bring Yan 'er back.”
Because Cai Yan's birth mother had a massive hemorrhage after giving birth, Cai Yan was the apple of Cai Yong's eye. Cai Yong was afraid that his daughter, Cai Yan, would be unhappy with his second marriage, so he sent Cai Yan, who was only three years old, back to his hometown, Chenliu, to stay temporarily.
"Madam, are you ready?" Cai Yong asked carefully.
Cai Yong had insisted on sending Cai Yan away, but Madam Cai had no idea.
