From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 681

Although the Virgin Sister said she was leaving in advance, Zhou Yuan didn't expect her to be so anxious. On the morning of the tenth day of February, she came with the master to say goodbye.

In order to speed up, they didn't even use a carriage, but rode directly on horses.

In the fog, there was no reluctance on the faces of the two. Su Youzi looked calm, while the Virgin Sister was smiling.

"No need to see you off!"

The Virgin Sister said: "You have your own things to do. No matter what, I think you are right. Just keep going."

"Little nephew, the uncle believes that you can do everything you want to do. I can't help you much. I can only say thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yuan felt mixed emotions in his heart, with reluctance and emotion.

Su Youzi said solemnly: "Yuan Yizi, remember, be simple and quiet, curb your inner demons, and never let the darkness erode your heart."

Zhou Yuan said respectfully: "Disciple will remember the master's teachings."

Su Youzi said: "There are many things in the world that are full of hardships and impossibilities, but only those who truly challenge fate will know that there are miracles in the world."

"The Great Derivation is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. There is always a ray of anomalies floating in the world, allowing people with a pious heart to touch it."

"This is the only chance to break the absolute and touch the miracle."

"Maybe you are the one who seizes this opportunity."

These words are too metaphysical, but they happen to be the way that the master insists on.

Zhou Yuan bowed deeply and said: "Disciple understands."

"Let's go!"

Li Yu'an waved her hand, rode away on horseback, and disappeared in the fog.

The fog was indeed too thick, and their speed was so fast that dewdrops were stained on their faces.

Li Yu'an wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed softly.

Su Youzi said: "You are deeply in love, be careful of backlash."

Li Yu'an curled her lips and said: "Who is deeply in love, don't talk nonsense."

Su Youzi frowned and said: "If you are not deeply in love, why do you cry for a simple separation?"

"That's because the fog is too thick! Something got into your eyes!"

Li Yu'an was very dissatisfied and retorted: "Besides, I don't have any Taoist heart, so how can I talk about backlash."

Su Youzi said: "Love is a kind of poison in itself. If you are not careful, it will make people fall into eternal damnation. "

Li Yu'an couldn't help laughing and said, "Being poisoned by his love is beyond redemption. This is romantic in itself. I am happy with it."

She looked at her sister and sighed, "I have found what I want. Sister, how about you? Has your Tao given you real satisfaction?"

Su Youzi said, "Satisfaction does not exist in this world. It is nothing more than the Tao's natural way."

Li Yu'an said, "But your Tao heart is broken."

Su Youzi's face suddenly became stiff and she rode faster.

The laughter of her sister behind her was too harsh, and her heart began to beat wildly again.

...

The sad mood did not last too long, because Zhou Yuan was really amused.

Ningyue learned a dance from Cai Ni, and was eager to perform before she was proficient.

The effect of the dance was really clumsy, and she even tripped herself on her skirt in the end, causing everyone to laugh.

Ningyue was frustrated and aggrieved. Finally, she looked at Zhou Yuan eagerly, almost crying.

Zhou Yuan hurried over to help her up and comforted her: "It's okay, Ningyue. Everyone has their own knowledge and specialization. Maybe dancing is not what you are good at."

So Xue Ningyue burst into tears. She just wanted to dance beautifully to make Brother Zhou happy, but she didn't expect to be denied directly on the basis of talent.

Cai Ni is indeed a talented woman. She hit everyone in all aspects. She dances beautifully, sings beautifully, has high martial arts skills, and the key is that she has excellent cooking skills, which makes Jianjia and others feel a little inferior.

"No!"

Qu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "I have to make a lot of money and double the money at home! Otherwise, what can I compare with sister Cai Ni!"

Zhao Jianjia also felt pressure. As the eldest sister in the family, her position has always been very stable. Now she whispered, "I have to read more books recently and not fall behind in my studies."

She thought that although her calligraphy was not as good as Cai Ni, she was still slightly better in poetry.

Ningyue was anxious because she couldn't find a place to beat Cai Ni after searching for a long time. The only thing she could show was her medicinal diet.

Zhou Yuan hugged her and smiled, "Why compare like this? Aren't you the one my husband loves the most? I go to your yard every day to make you pregnant."

This sentence made Ningyue blush, and then she whispered, "Nonsense... Nonsense... Oh, don't talk about this, the sisters are here."

So everyone laughed again.

In order to enhance actual combat, Zhou Yuan always fights with Cai Ni.They competed in martial arts, but he lost every time.

His internal strength was stronger than Cai Ni's, and the skills he learned were much better, but Cai Ni had too many tricks.

"I won't fight you anymore, Cai Ni is so tired..."

After she finished speaking, she was shaky and almost fainted.

Zhou Yuan hurried to support her, and she slapped him in the chest.

"Sir, don't fall into the trap. Women in the martial arts world are more deceptive than Cai Ni, and have more tricks."

She blinked her eyes and gave Zhou Yuan a vivid lesson.

The two sat in the pavilion, Cai Ni snuggled in his arms and whispered, "It's great!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "What's great?"

Cai Ni held his hand and whispered, "Don't do bad things. I mean it's great here. Ningyue, Qu Ling and Jianjia all love me very much. They know that I feel inferior to my background, so they make me happy in every way and let me teach them some martial arts, which makes me feel very present."

"Sometimes I think that I must have accumulated virtue in my previous life to meet the young master and have such a good family."

Zhou Yuan held her hand and said, "Is there a possibility that you are already very outstanding, but this world values ​​background too much."

Cai Ni said, "But it has been like this since ancient times. Background is the most important, and nothing else matters."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, it has been like this since ancient times, but such rules should be slowly changed."

He looked at Cai Ni and said, "Imperial Academy Do you know?"

Cai Ni said: "Of course I know, it is the highest institution of learning in Dajin. It is said that students who come out of it can at least pass the imperial examination."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Want to be a teacher in the Imperial Academy?"

"That's not possible."

Cai Ni shook her head and said: "My literary talent is very ordinary, not even as good as those students."

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said: "What if I ask you to teach martial arts?"

Cai Ni covered her mouth and smiled: "That is the Imperial Academy, a place for scholars."

"But it won't be in the future."

Zhou Yuan said: "I want to reform the Imperial Academy, which will become the highest comprehensive institution in the entire Dajin. It teaches reading, martial arts, military warfare, geography, arithmetic, biological sciences, astronomy... everything is taught, and everything can be learned."

Cai Ni was stunned, and then murmured: "If that's the case... then maybe I can really be a teacher."

"It must be the most beautiful teacher in the Imperial Academy!"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud.

To change the world, to compete with the world, to climb to the forefront of science, we need to do a lot of things.

The reform of food, taxation, salt affairs, and business system are just the foundation. What is more important is to open up people's wisdom, liberate their minds, and complete enlightenment.

We have rich thoughts and brilliant civilization, but science and technology have lagged behind in modern times. There are many reasons for this.

The obstacles of political and social systems have led to the fact that skills can only be passed down to one person and become a tool for a small number of people to rule.

The exploration and use of the material world, however, is always considered to be against the so-called way of nature and a destruction of order.

People who study science and technology cannot be respected, have no social status, and even cannot survive.

Too many obstacles have made this land, which was originally leading the world, fall behind.

Zhou Yuan didn't know what he had to do to do this well.

But he was willing to start.

He was willing to try, even if he made mistakes, even if he was criticized.

Anyway, he had enough infamy, so he didn't care about these one or two.

So he found three people, Liu Jing, Shen Qiaoshan and Zhuang Xuansu.

In the box of Tianxiang Tower, the three people looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

A great scholar, a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and a chief of the inner court, they didn't know how to connect with each other.

The full table of food showed Zhou Yuan's serious attitude.

He looked at the three people and smiled slowly: "Mr. Qiaoshan, Mr. Liu, Xuansu, I asked you to come here because I have something serious to say."

Liu Jing frowned and said: "Chief Zhuang is here, do you have something serious to say? Duke Weiguo, you are not going to put us in jail, right?"

Shen Qiaoshan didn't say anything, but he was obviously uncomfortable all over.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "I have a long-term plan that can change the style of Dajin to a certain extent. Although it is not mature, I still have to try it."

Liu Jing said, "What is it?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said softly, "I want to reform the Imperial Academy and expand it into a large-scale comprehensive school. From this point, I will influence the world."

"This requires the cooperation of the Imperial Academy, the Ministry of Revenue, and the help of the Internal Court."

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Qiaoshan stood up and said loudly, "The Imperial Academy is the holy school of the world.How can the place where you study be defiled? Not to mention you, even His Majesty has no right to ask for the Imperial Academy to change its system, because this is the ancestral system established by the Emperor Shengzu. "

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Mr. Qiaoshan... do you want me to change the dynasty and become a holy ancestor?"

"Do you want to be a meritorious official?"

Zhuang Xuansu's face changed drastically, and his hand directly pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes became cold.

Liu Jing was startled, and couldn't help shrinking his head, staring and said: "Mr. Qiaoshan! Be careful with your words!"

Zhou Yuan looked at Shen Qiaoshan and squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. Tai, do you know that what you said just now is a rebellious rebellion? "

Shen Qiaoshan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and could not help but stutter: "Zhou, Zhou Yuan, please don't slander me, it's obviously you..."

Zhou Yuan said: "You said that I have elite soldiers from the five military camps and a very high position in the army. With just one order, I can occupy the capital, capture the palace, change the dynasty, and become emperor myself."

"Lord Liu and Master Zhuang heard this clearly, and they will testify for me."

"Lord Liu, is that right?"

Liu Jing's face turned pale, he swallowed and said: "Yes..."

Until this time, he realized that Zhou Yuan's words were not only for Shen Qiaoshan to hear, but also for him.
