"You'd better keep a low profile, kid!"
"If I didn't have so few people I could talk to, do you really think my son would have spared you? Those pathetic aristocratic families you have under your command, none of them can compare to Xun Yu and Jia Xu of the current dynasty. They would have wiped you out in a heartbeat."
"One should know better than to be tactful. I'm an old man and easy to talk to, but my son is young and impetuous, and he might hurt himself." Lin Rusong glanced at Lu Yafu and said meaningfully.
This kid is arrogant because he's a bit talented, but that won't work on his own son; it could get him killed.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yafu couldn't help but shudder. After thinking about it carefully, he realized it was indeed true and reluctantly shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Wang Ziwen couldn't help but chuckle and exclaimed, "The people around the Emperor are truly remarkable; they are no ordinary individuals. Especially Xun Yu, he is exceptional. The stability of Great Liang today is largely due to his contributions!"
He was formerly the Grand General of Northern Liang, comparable to Xun Yu, the Chancellor of Xiliang Liang, but he believed he did not possess Xun Yu's talent, and that this man was indeed worthy of being a king's advisor.
The others were no ordinary people either; whether civil or military officials, they were all top-tier individuals, which was what made them truly terrifying.
Furthermore, with the introduction of the Imperial Examination System, there was no shortage of talented individuals.
"Sigh, the Yangtze River generation always surpasses the older; you just have to accept it!"
Lu Yafu sighed deeply, "This is fate, destined to be a supporting character!"
He felt he was born at the wrong time. When he was prime minister, he encountered an emperor with an explosive desire for control, which left him with no opportunity to use his talents.
Now I've encountered a wise ruler, but none of his subordinates are easy to deal with. The officials of the three provinces are all capable of being prime ministers, so I can only come here to teach.
As Lin Rusong said, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Chen Qun of the three provinces, and even the ministers of the six ministries, were all exceptional talents. Compared to them, the aristocratic families under his command were nothing but a pile of shit.
In his fury, the emperor will probably leave nothing but dust.
He sighed and said with a wry smile, "The Emperor Emeritus is right. I was presumptuous, and I will certainly correct myself in the future. As you know, I don't like any fancy things; I only care about the people..."
"Get lost! It's good that you can figure it out yourself!"
Lin Rusong rolled his eyes at him, then walked into the Imperial Academy Martial Institute. Today was the perfect moment for him to show off, and he couldn't miss it.
call!
Watching Lin Rusong leave, Lu Yafu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His former old friend was now an emperor emeritus, and a single word from him could cost him his life.
Okay, I'll go study the textbook first. This stuff still needs approval, so it'll take some effort.
He had just stepped into a corridor when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps following closely behind him. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned around to look behind him.
Whoosh!
A burlap sack was put over his head, and Lu Yafu's vision went completely black. Then he was hit with a barrage of punches and kicks until he saw stars and collapsed to the ground.
Damn it, this is right next to the palace, and they're still acting so arrogantly. Who are these people?
"Stop! The guards are coming soon, and you won't be able to escape!" Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, Lu Yafu immediately shouted.
You have to yell, they're not stopping at all, they're going to beat you to death.
That bastard has no sportsmanship; he actually attacked an old man.
Hearing his words, the man showed no fear and sneered, "Hmph, I, Sima Yi, do not change my name or surname. You dare to speak ill of the Emperor behind his back, you deserve to be beaten!"
After saying that, he kicked her again, and only left hastily when he heard the guards arrive.
"Vice Principal, are you alright?"
The guards quickly helped Lu Yafu up, their faces full of concern.
But when he opened the sack, his face froze. Who was this pig-headed guy?
Hiss!
Lu Yafu felt as if he had been trampled by an elephant, his whole body aching. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who is Sima Yi? How dare he be so arrogant and openly assault this principal? Is there no law left?"
Damn it, this isn't over yet! I'm not going to let this go so easily!
"Huh?"
Lin Yi, who came to inspect the area, was stunned when he saw Lu Yafu's bruised and swollen face. This guy had actually been beaten up. Who had such audacity?
He glanced at Wang Yue, who shook his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, it must have been one of our own who did it. Nobody else could have gotten into the Imperial Academy!"
The Imperial Academy is currently compiling teaching materials and making arrangements for the Imperial Examination, so it is under martial law and ordinary people really can't get in.
Even high-ranking officials of the imperial court needed to apply multiple times before they were qualified to enter; the existence of assassins was a different matter altogether.
"Yes, have someone keep an eye on him. The Imperial Academy is of utmost importance; there can be no mistakes!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi nodded slightly and then offered some words of advice.
The Imperial Academy now controls the education of the future Great Liang and can also guide the mainstream thought of the future Great Liang to a large extent, so we must not let Lu Yafu take advantage of the situation.
If he dares to smuggle in his own agenda, that will be his death sentence.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Emperor Emeritus's opinion, he wouldn't have used Lu Yafu. That old fellow was a bit slippery, and being a former prime minister, his status was somewhat questionable.
However, since the old man has rarely spoken, it wouldn't hurt to give him face.
Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the emperor's meaning. He solemnly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already sent people to keep an eye on him. As long as he makes the slightest move, he will definitely not be able to escape the control of the Net."
Even finding out who attacked him this time is as simple as asking around.
Such an important figure was naturally not to be let go by the Net Heaven), and they had long been keeping a close watch on him. If he dared to do anything reckless, he would be courting his own destruction.
"Haha, no need to check!"
Lin Yi looked ahead and saw a familiar figure appear in front of him. The guy was rubbing his hands, obviously he had just done some heavy work.
This person is probably the murderer.
Upon seeing the emperor's gaze, Cao Cao paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Cough cough!
He coughed twice and said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I was just copying an article about the guidance of aristocratic families, so I'm a little tired and came out to stretch my legs."
Slap! Slap!
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, " Mengde, well done!"
ah?
Cao Cao was taken aback at first, then, seeing Wang Yue's ambiguous smile, he immediately understood and forced a dry laugh, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was presumptuous. This is intolerable!"
Although he said that, he was actually very happy, as he had done something that pleased the emperor.
That was a good play; you should keep it up.
