Chapter 30 Fool Cai Yong(1/2)
Yuan Shu was also very interested in Cai Yong, a great writer who had been famous throughout the ages. He quietly said to the system:
"System, check Cai Yong's attributes quickly."
"Dingdong! The system received it, this is querying Cai Yong's attributes for the host.
Query successful:
Talent name: Cai Yong
Cai Yong's attributes:
Force: 21, Command: 45, Intelligence: 75, Politics: 82, Charm: 68, Luck: 55
Special attributes: Confucianism: 96
Cai Yong skills:
Research: When studying science, intelligence increases by 10 points, and the difficulty of the research is reduced by 50%.
Teaching: When teaching students, their intelligence increases by 10 points and their learning efficiency doubles."
Yuan Shu looked at Cai Yong's attribute. How could he say that he is worthy of being a great scholar of his generation, and it is fine whether he teaches students or studies knowledge.
And he also has certain political capabilities, which is pretty good as a minister.
However, as a counselor, 75's intelligence is obviously not enough.
So when it comes to my father Yuan Feng's saying that Cai Yong is proficient in military strategies, Yuan Shu can only laugh.
As for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yuan Shu believes that Cai Yong really understands it, but what is the use of learning that thing?
Yuan Shu has no hope for his next gain from Cai Yong.
Cai Yong invited Yuan Feng, Yuan Shu and his son to his main hall. After the guest and host took a seat, he began to ask Yuan Shu to officially give Cai Yong a teacher ceremony.
The ancients were very particular about the apprenticeship of teachers, so it is said that one day is a teacher for a lifetime and a father.
Under Yuan Feng's witness, Yuan Shu officially became Cai Yong's disciple after giving a big gift and serving tea.
Yuan Feng would also let this matter spread throughout Luoyang City in the shortest time, and to cleanse his reputation for this incompetent son.
After all, Xu Shao scolded Yuan Shu so ruthlessly.
After the ceremony of apprenticeship was completed, Yuan Feng said goodbye to Cai Yong.
As for how Cai Yong taught Yuan Shu, it was a matter between their master and apprentice, and Yuan Feng was not inconvenient to ask about it.
"Dingdong! The system detected that Cai Yong did not sincerely recognize the host.
Cai Yong was a great scholar of the times. His recognition was extremely important to the host and helped to improve the host's reputation.
The system now releases the limited-time main task:
He was recognized by the great scholar Cai Yong and became his most proud personal disciple! The task reward attribute points are 10 points, the reputation value is 5,000, and the complete process of the primary steel forging process.
Punishment for task failure: Randomly deduct 20 attribute points of the host.
Mission time limit: within one hour.”
This system prompt scared Yuan Shu directly.
What’s the thing? I just felt that the task I had been in for half a year was easier, and now I have another limited-time mission!
Within an hour, is this trying to force yourself to death?
However, the reward is also rich, and the steel forging technology is really envious.
Wealth and honor are in danger, and we have done it!
It’s not possible to do it. There is no room for regret for the time-limited tasks, so Yuan Shu can only bite the bullet and go on.
Just as Yuan Shu was thinking about how to complete the task within one hour, Cai Yong said to him:
"After the teacher, come to the study."
"Yes, Master." Yuan Shu nodded and followed Cai Yong to the study.
Cai Yong's study is quite unique. There is a large desk in front of it and Cai Yong's seat behind the desk.
Four small tables were placed directly opposite him, and there was a seat under each small table.
Yuan Shu looked at this place, not as a study room, but as a small private school.
Cai Yong sat in the main seat and signaled Yuan Shu to find a place to sit down.
After Yuan Shu sat down, Cai Yong said:
"Highway, you are my disciple now and the son of my close friend. We are not outsiders. You might as well tell me about your performance in Luoyang City over the years. Is there any hidden secrets in the past few years?"
To be honest, in Cai Yong's opinion, Yuan Shu was very puzzling.
Needless to say, Yuan Shu's father Yuan Feng was generous and sincere. He was a capable minister of the Han Dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the pillar of the country.
His mother, Wang, was also a lady from a noble family and well-educated.
Cai Yong was also very curious about why the sons born to these two people were as unbearable as Yuan Shu.
It would be better for Yuan Shu to tell me why, and he would also like to teach according to his aptitude.
Yuan Shu thought to myself, old man, you ask me this, will the opportunity to complete the task come?
According to his knowledge of his later history books, this old man is very old-fashioned.
Because of his extraordinary talent, he often feels that he is not satisfied with his talent.
I also like to criticize current affairs.
If his answer made Cai Yong dissatisfied, it might cause Cai Yong to rebound violently, and maybe it would lead to Yuan Feng's whereabouts.
The relationship between father and son has just eased a little, and it would be no longer beautiful to ask Cai Yong to add some materials.
It is best if your answer can resonate with Cai Yong before he can fool him.
And if Cai Yong can feel that he is the same person as him, it will be easy to gain Cai Yong's recognition.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly laughed loudly:
"Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone, and everyone is turbid and I am clear alone. This is the world, what can I do?"
When Cai Yong heard what he said, he was shocked and said to himself that it was a good thing that I asked, but there was indeed a hidden story.
Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone? This kid is quite literary. This is not something that a dandy family can say.
Yuan Shu's two sentences made him feel deeply immersive and made him eager to understand Yuan Shu's ideas.
So he walked to Yuan Shu and asked softly:
"Highway, what does this mean?"
Yuan Shu secretly glanced at Cai Yong with his eyes and thought to himself that he had indeed taken the bait. I will give you another ruthless one.
He did not answer Cai Yong's words, but asked him:
"Mr., what do you think of the current government affairs?"
When Yuan Shu mentioned the government affairs, Cai Yong's face suddenly became gloomy.
This Yuan Shu really doesn’t open the pot of the pot.
What is the government’s affairs? Do you need to explain it in detail?
The emperor was foolish, the treacherous ministers were in power, and the people were in trouble. The Han court was already in disgrace.
But even though that is the case, Cai Yong cannot say that.
He replied in a deep thought:
"The current Holy Emperor is in the hall, and the government affairs are in the government, and the emperor has his own rule of decisiveness.
As a descendant of the Yuan family, you have received the emperor's kindness in the world. What you should think about is how to study diligently and serve the emperor in the future. How can you discuss the government affairs in a vain way?"
Cai Yong's words were nothing wrong, but based on Yuan Shu's understanding of him, this was definitely not what Cai Yong said in his heart.
Yuan Shu looked at Cai Yong sincerely and said:
"Master, do you really think so? Do you agree with what you said?
Now the court is full of eunuchs and slanderous ministers, so how can there be such a pure and innocent place as his mentor?
Even if I succeed in my studies, I am just like a master and not tolerated by treacherous ministers.
So I would rather be a prodigal son than be a slander than being merciless and slandered by those slanderous ministers.”
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Cai Yong felt a strong sense of identity in his heart.
He often thought that he would resign from then on, but he could not let go because he was concerned about the country.
It turns out that Yuan Shu didn't want to be motivated, he didn't want to be in harmony with this turbid world.
This Yuan Shu is not a prodigal son, he can see it clearly than anyone else!
He suddenly felt a sense of distress towards Yuan Shu. Did he feel his powerless feeling when he was so young?
His impression of Yuan Shu was from the beginning to the point of forgetting his age and close friend.
