In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
“Lord Cai, Miss Cai, you two witnessed my instruction just now, and I’m sure you have many questions.”
"Let's get straight to the point. I want you two to contribute your ideas and efforts to the education plan of my three prefectures in the Hetao region."
Inside a large tent in the Boy Scout camp, Liu Wei was flipping through three newly compiled booklets when he saw Cai Yong and his daughter enter. He turned his head and said...
"We request an audience with Your Highness, hoping you will allow us to return to Luoyang!"
"Your Highness must have investigated the assassination attempt thoroughly; we are innocent."
"As for serving the prince, there is really nothing I can do to help."
Cai Yong had anticipated that Liu Wei would make this request, but he did not give up the opportunity to leave.
"Lord Cai, you've come to see me just to ask me to let you go back?"
Instead of being angry, Liu Wei laughed, "There was an assassin hidden within the mission, which constitutes negligence."
"Bringing female relatives along is an act of deceiving the emperor and committing a crime punishable by one degree."
"I may not hold you accountable, but those people in Luoyang will definitely not let you off easily."
"Don't you still understand why, out of so many officials in the Han Dynasty, you were specifically chosen to deliver the imperial edict to the Hetao region?"
"There must be people on He Jin's side who want to frame you, and Empress Dowager Dong also recommended you, so they certainly don't have any good intentions."
“If you go back, it will play right into their hands.”
"You're old enough to have lived enough, it's just a pity that your daughter, so young, is going to suffer imprisonment."
"Alas! If you wish to return, I will not stop you; I will let you go now."
After saying that, Liu Wei spread his hands, as if to say, "Do as you please."
Cai Yong did not expect Liu Wei to let them go so easily.
He knew Liu Wei would keep them here, and once they stayed, he and his daughter would definitely be given important responsibilities by Liu Wei.
The strange character that Liu Wei just used to teach the Boy Scouts must also be open to them, father and daughter.
It would be difficult for either Cai Yan or Cai Yong, who were both eager for knowledge, to refuse.
However, returning to Luoyang was far more tempting than staying in this remote region of the Hetao Plain.
If one were to make some connections with relatives, friends, students, acquaintances, and other social ties in Luoyang, one could likely escape punishment.
Since Liu Wei is letting him go, he should leave quickly and not give Liu Wei any room to back out.
Cai Yong immediately pulled Cai Yan aside, preparing to bid farewell to Liu Wei.
"Yan'er, what are you doing? Let's go back to Luoyang now!"
Cai Yong realized he couldn't pull Cai Yan up.
Cai Yan was deeply attracted by the three booklets on Liu Wei's desk.
"Your Highness, may I have a look at these three books?"
"Please go ahead!"
Liu Wei smiled faintly, picked up the three booklets, and handed them over.
Cai Yan extended her slender, jade-like fingers, which trembled slightly, and opened one of the books.
"At birth, people are inherently good; their actions are similar, but their habits differ..."
She parted her pearly teeth slightly, revealing her cherry lips.
A voice as melodious as a nightingale echoed within the tent.
As expected of a talented woman, even her voice is so beautiful. Liu Wei seemed somewhat infatuated and couldn't help but take a closer look at Cai Yan several times.
Yes, he's a promising talent!
At this moment, Liu Wei began to want to become like Mengde.
As Cai Yan read, she became quite enamored with the book.
Such a rhyming, catchy, and meaningful three-character poem is simply a great book for children's enlightenment!
"Your Highness, what is the title of this book?"
"The Three Character Classic!"
Cai Yan read several more lines with great excitement: "It dares to call it a classic; there is indeed some truth to it."
She opened the second book, which read "Pinyin Literacy".
It contains the letters a, o, e, i, u, ü, b, p, m, f.
What initials and finals?
Cai Yan was immediately shocked and captivated upon seeing it, finding it increasingly mysterious the more she looked at it.
Each word can be spelled out using these symbols.
Once you grasp the patterns of these symbols, there's no word you can't read.
Moreover, if this method is widely adopted, anyone who can read and write will not experience much change in their pronunciation.
This would make it easier to achieve language unification.
Compared to those sentimental and affected poems, this is truly groundbreaking.
The third book was titled "Arithmetic," and it contained many tadpole-like symbols. Cai Yan frowned but couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Since these three books are for children's enlightenment and intellectual development, this "Arithmetic" must also be easy to understand. Perhaps with someone teaching her, Cai Yan, with her exceptional intelligence, would have understood it at a glance.
"Your Highness, did you write all of this by yourself?" Cai Yan couldn't help but ask excitedly.
"No one in this world but myself could have written these things."
Liu Wei's feigned nonchalance only amplified his confidence.
"If I were to stay and teach the Prince, I wouldn't know these things..."
Cai Yan was tempted.
"Hehe, these are just the basics. If Miss Cai is willing to stay and serve me, I will teach her everything I know."
"Let's not talk about these things. I'm willing to discuss anything I know about poetry, astronomy, geography, and music with Miss Cai."
Besides possessing a powerful system, it would be a disservice to the army of transmigrators if one didn't plagiarize some poems and copy some articles.
What!
Cai Yan looked on incredulously: "Your Highness also knows poetry and songs?"
Cai Yong realized something was wrong; his daughter was about to be tricked away.
What attracted Cai Yan was precisely what Liu Wei had mentioned.
"Daughter, it's best not to disturb the Prince!"
“The prince’s poems and songs are different from what we expected,” Cai Yong said hurriedly.
The implication was that they believed Liu Wei was just bragging, but they couldn't refute him because of his position.
