Chapter 471 Extra 10 (4)
Sun Luban was extremely angry.
But now - I've already eaten it, what else can I do?
Qiao Huan handed her a bowl and asked, "Drink the remaining soup?"
"Just drink it," Sun Luban looked at the bowl of soup in front of her as if she saw Qiao Huan in person, "We've already finished eating the chicken, so we can drink some soup."
This is what it means to throw away everything.
After drinking another half bowl of chicken soup and looking at the steaming pot in front of him, Sun Luban hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Are you really not afraid of getting in trouble with Mr. Cai Bojie?"
Qiao Huan replied, "It depends on who you are causing trouble for. Have you seen the records of seniors in the library archives? It's no exaggeration to say that Pang Tong's attendance record is all red. Did you hear that Pang Tong was expelled from Leping Academy?"
Sun Luban shook his head.
"Your Majesty wants Pang Shiyuan to see that the world situation has changed. Even the way to study has changed greatly because of the existence of Leping Academy. You want him to see clearly that if he still faces the world's talents as Pang Shiyuan of Nanyang, he will sooner or later find it difficult to adapt to the times. You don't want him to be bound by the rules and regulations of the academy."
"Leping Academy provides him with a platform to broaden his horizons and adapt to the various developments under your majesty's command, rather than throwing him into prison and classifying him into different levels."
"He missed half of his attendance, but he didn't get his reward revoked even though he got first place in the Leping assessment, right?"
Sun Luban thought to himself, yes, before Pang Tong graduated from Leping Academy, he had received a gnawing iron beast doll as a reward from His Majesty.
"So," Qiao Huan replied, "as long as we perform well enough, Mr. Bojie will never bother us just because we lost a chicken. He might even think that it is because of this chicken he raised that we have become so motivated and smart."
Sun Luban: "..."
Wait a minute, she felt like she was a little confused by Qiao Huan.
She had a hunch that something was not right about the cause and effect relationship.
But before she could react, she first moved back the hundred pounds left over from cooking yam chicken soup, and then went to the public class classroom with Qiao Huan the next day.
According to Qiao Huan, since she often went out with Cai Yong, as long as the output of the yam field was about this number, it would be enough to handle the task. There was no need to use Sun Luban's to get the job done. On the contrary, Sun Luban, the troublemaker among the freshmen, might need this thing to make up for his impression points.
After listening to what Qiao Huan said, Jiang Wei turned to Deng Ai and said, "I think we need to worry about you. You are usually not talkative. Will you be fooled by her?"
Of course, seeing that Sun Luban was eager to catch up with Qiao Huan so as to become the best in the academy, Jiang Wei felt that it might be necessary for Sun Quan to come to Leping and present a banner to Qiao Huan.
Sun Luban's talent was not bad to begin with, but perhaps it was the rough and fierce nature in her bones that made her somewhat arrogant and want to develop into a military general. However, as you get to know her more, it is not difficult to find that her competitive spirit may allow her to stir up trouble in the court in the future.
Qiao Huan's act of taming made Sun Luban concentrate on her studies, which might be a good thing for her future.
Deng Ai raised his head, did not answer Jiang Wei's question, but just glanced at Sima Zhao on the other side for a moment.
There is no need to explain the implication of this.
I don’t know whether Deng Ai was fooled or not, but Sima Zhao was definitely fooled.
Of course, to be precise, the one who was fooled should be Sima Shi.
When Qiao Yan received the news sent by Cai Qiong from Leping Academy, he laughed out loud.
It had only been a short year since Qiao Huan went to Leping, which included two trips out with Cai Yong. She had not yet revealed her identity, yet she had already gathered so many companions behind her.
Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Kong Yu, and Cao Jie were the ones she had long considered as Qiao Huan's study companions. Now there were also Sun Luban, Sima Zhao, Zhang Changpu and others. While these children were playing and fighting, they had never forgotten their original intention of going to school, and a trend with Qiao Huan as the leader had gradually formed. She was obviously happy to see it happen.
Children of this age are far from being considered to be forming cliques for personal gain, which makes their interactions more pure.
However, the truly smart ones should have guessed something.
From the end of October to before New Year's Day of the following year, it was the peak period for all the ministers sent out under Qiao Yan to return and report on their work.
Guo Jia, who had escaped the punishment of being forbidden to drink, mentioned to her when he returned from Yanzhou that Guo Yi had sent him a letter from Leping Academy, in which Qiao Huan, who used the alias Mu Huan, was mentioned. The letter also asked whether "Mu Huan" had some connection with the heir of His Majesty and how he should choose to get along with him.
Almost at the same time, Zhuge Jin, who succeeded Cao Ang as the prefect of Hanzhong, also encountered a similar problem.
Qiao Yan did not respond to this question directly, but instead asked, "From Feng Xiao and Zi Yu's point of view, can Huai Xu control them all?"
The answer to this question seemed to have been clearly seen from Qiao Huan's actions in Leping Academy over the past year.
sure!
Perhaps the methods she used were mostly effective because of her young age. But in the face of the final result, none of this is that important.
Besides, who says age isn’t one of Qiao Huan’s biggest advantages?
In the "Biographies of Lingling Sages", there is a record whose authenticity is not known, which says that after Cao Chong's death, Cao Cao assassinated his study companion Zhou Buyi on the grounds that Cao Pi was unable to control this person.
Since this article was written in the Jin Dynasty and was written by Sima, it is hard to say how credible it is, but it does reveal one thing -
If there are too many smart people under your command, should you get rid of them?
The method of controlling subordinates is not to compare their IQ with others. Qiao Yan understands this principle. Judging from Qiao Huan's current behavior, she is also very clear about this.
Therefore, Guo Yi and Zhuge Ke really don't need to feel any burden in getting along with each other just because they have seen through Qiao Huan's identity.
Under the guidance of her, Xi Zhicai, Cai Zhaoji, Cai Yong and many other people, Huai Xu has gradually shown the potential to hold power in the world in the future. So what's wrong with letting her become the king of children in Leping Academy now?
Compared with Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin, Sima Yi was much more unlucky.
In the eleventh year of Yuan Zhao, Qiao Yan transferred Cui Jun, the governor of Yuzhou, back to the central government, and Sima Yi was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, with Sima Lang one in Yu and the other in Yang. This is both a sign of respect for them and a huge pressure on them.
What made Sima Yi even more distressed was that the governor of Yuzhou should be considered an important official under the emperor, but after returning to Luoyang to report on his work, he first heard Qiao Yan ask: "Since Zhongda's two sons have recognized Huai Xu's identity, why don't you just make it clear?"
"Everyone in Leping Academy knows what Zishang's identity is. How can people think that he suddenly becomes someone's follower?"
Sima Yi: “……?”
Wait, what happened?
Why didn't he know this before?
He trusted his eldest son Sima Shi too much in his cautious approach, and he did not know that Qiao Yan had sent Qiao Huan to Leping Academy. As a result, although Sima Shi and Sima Zhao did not offend Qiao Huan, they undoubtedly did something that greatly displeased His Majesty.
Sima Yi listened to Qiao Yan's talk about what happened in Leping Academy with trepidation, especially when he heard that Sima Zhao became Qiao Huan's follower under Sima Shi's judgment, he felt a black screen before his eyes.
Don't think that His Majesty is praising now. At the beginning of winter this year, due to Gan Ning's return from the voyage, the nautical chart was updated again, and a brainstorming activity on ship improvement was held in Leping Academy. Sima Zhao assisted Yu Qiao Huan in winning the first place among the second-year students. But whether this was praise or criticism, Sima Yi would definitely understand!
"Stand up," Qiao Yan replied as he wrote on the document submitted by Sima Yi, "Sima Ziyuan and Zishang are both talented people, so it is inevitable that they have some considerations. But in today's world, the capable are promoted and the successful are given priority. How can the current situation be influenced by the preferences of a child? What do you think?"
Sima Yi: "...Yes, Your Majesty is right in giving advice."
"Your Sima family is famous for the Sima Bada, and everyone is a master in politics. But sometimes, just like what I said to Yang Xiu back then, don't rely on your intelligence and wisdom to think about this and that, or you will end up at a disadvantage."
When Sima Yi walked out of the hall, he realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Although Your Majesty did not punish him in order to warn Sima against speculating on his intentions, as the Governor of Yuzhou, he did not receive any commendation from Your Majesty in the summary of his political achievements for the year, which is already a particularly serious matter!
But in the current situation, if he wrote another letter to ask Sima Shi to change his attitude towards Qiao Huan, it would seem that he was trying to cover up his guilt. It would be better for him to let things continue to develop along the current trajectory.
He will probably have to spend this New Year in fear.
Her Majesty has indeed taken pragmatism to the extreme, but she can see clearly the twists and turns behind the scenes. He must find a way to warn Sima Shi and Sima Zhao at the right time and never do anything too radical again!
If we touch your Majesty's bottom line again, we will be in real trouble.
Qiao Huan had never expected that his various actions in Leping Academy could provide some additional help to his mother.
Before the January holiday in the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhao, she delivered the New Year's goods sent by Qiao Yan from Luoyang to Cai Yong to express her gratitude for his introduction to the mountains, rivers, and people's lives through his poems and essays. Then she took away a native chicken, and under the frightened gaze of Sun Luban, she cooked a beggar's chicken and shared it with many of her friends.
But perhaps thinking of her performance in the top five in the assessment before the New Year, she sat there quietly again.
Deng Ai stepped back, because he heard Qiao Huan say, "Let's restart the writing plan next year. The previous theme was only liked by General Lu, so the audience was indeed too small. This time we will write a story about a group of bandits, based on the group of black bandits that were recruited by His Majesty, and write about the brotherhood of the underworld and the ups and downs of officials and bandits."
She thought for a moment and then said, "Come to think of it, do bandits eat this kind of beggar's chicken?"
Deng Ai covered his forehead with his hands. "If bandits... could eat meat regularly, they would... stop being bandits."
He could already foresee how huge a project this post-processing would be.
What's even worse is that he heard that this guy had an interview plan.
Who was the person being interviewed? It was Zhang Niujiao, one of the leaders of the Black Mountain bandits back then.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, this guy has been bragging about his unique vision. It is easy to imagine what he will say in the interview.
Deng Ai was certain that "Mu Huan" had never experienced hard times. Instead of following this line, he might as well use his imagination to write about the overseas world that General Gan Ning saw after crossing the ocean. He could also add some artistic processing when necessary.
This sounds much more plausible.
But before he could make this suggestion, the academy's vacation was over and Qiao Huan had already boarded the carriage back to Luoyang.
Having been separated from her mother for another half a year made her almost run to her, and during dinner she talked endlessly about every detail of her time in the academy.
Qiao Yan looked at her performance and couldn't help laughing: "Have you ever thought about what the scene will be like at the graduation ceremony?"
Qiao Huan: “…”
Oh no, parents are required to attend the graduation ceremony of Leping Academy.
By then, all the good things she did would be told to her mother!

I really want to stay in bed (lie flat)
