Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  Zhoa Yun, Xun Yu, these are the people Liu Feng can get to understand the end of Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. As for the rest, Liu Feng has no way.

  For example, the Huang Zhong that Liu Feng knows is still serving as a Central Lang General in Changsha. It's also possible to summon him with an imperial edict from the Emperor. But summoning one general, Huang Zhong, into the capital.

  With Cao Cao's suspicious mind, he will definitely think that the intention is not pure. It will lead to some earth-shaking changes that even Liu and Feng may not be able to withstand. We cannot lose sight of the bigger picture because of a small matter.

  Besides, the role of gathering Huang Zhong is not great either. Without military power, even if you get a fierce general, it's at most Zhao Yun's level. Now that we have Zhao Yun, why bother finding Huang Zhong again?

  As for some others, they are also like Huang Zhong and are not vassals of other lords, or are powerful generals. Otherwise, Liu Feng would not know their specific origin.

  So, the only thing that can be calculated is to dig a corner of Liu Bei's wall, and it's probably what Cao Cao likes to see. The three brothers of Liu Bei are quite intimidating to Cao Cao. If you can dissolve it...

  However, this matter is also considered a big deal. Liu Feng still decided to think about it first and then take specific actions.

  That night, Liu Feng rested in the Crown Prince's palace.

  This night could be said to be the most peaceful sleep Liu Feng had since he was born, although Zhao Yun was not guarding in the palace, but the situation had changed.

  The next morning. Liu Feng, who had a good night's sleep, felt fine, washed up, and led Dong Xi to the main hall for study as usual.

  "Your Highness."

  "Your Highness."

  When Liu Feng entered the main hall, a group of Taizi She people came to pay their respects. Since the turmoil in the palace that day, the number of Taizi She people had not increased. Now there were only six people left, including Dong Ge, son of General of Chariots and Cavalry Dong Cheng, and Wang Kun, son of General Zhaoxin Wang Fu.

  It was also because of that great chaos that Liu Feng's prestige among the crown princes increased by countless times. If it were before, when Liu Feng entered the main hall, he would definitely pay his respects, but he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

  "Uh-huh."

  Liu Feng faintly nodded and walked towards the front row seat.

  As Cao Pi and others left, the scene was quite empty. After Liu Feng sat down, Wang Kun immediately came to Liu Feng's side from his original position.

  "Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor issued a decree yesterday, appointing Jia Wenhe as the Junior Preceptor of the Crown Prince. Is it true?" Wang Kun asked after taking his seat.

  Wang Kun was the son of General Zhaoxin, so he naturally had a source of information. However, Wang Kun did not dare to believe that the Emperor would actually appoint Jia Xiang, such a negative figure, as the Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince.

  Isn't every crown prince's junior mentor a renowned scholar known for his virtues? Although the previous one, Chen Feng, was terrible, he was also a renowned scholar.

  Jia Xian, a follower of the rebellious Han.

  "Hmph. It must be Ci Kong's words." Dong Gai said coldly beside him.

  On that day, the palace was in great chaos. Dong Ge wasn't present at the scene. However, he heard about it afterwards. It's said that the Crown Prince had made Cao Pi and others lose face, crying out for help.

  It's a relief in my heart, and I naturally have more respect for this crown prince Liu Feng. However, Dong Gai is quite like his father General Wu, straightforward and outspoken.

  This is not the case, and Cao Cao was immediately accused of coercing the emperor.

  However, Liu Feng didn't mind. It would be best to blame Cao Cao to his face, but Cao Cao was too arrogant, and publicly blaming him in the grand hall might not end well.

  But if it's just a few people discussing privately, they will definitely be suspected.

  Dong Gu's single sentence was indeed a stern warning. It was said with great force and resonance. Even if Cao Cao found out, he probably wouldn't bother to argue with Dong Gu about it.

  "This time it wasn't Si Kong who spoke, but the Emperor's order. The Emperor said that in this chaotic world, studying Confucianism is useless, one should study the strategies of the Vertical and Horizontal Alliance, the Military School, the Legalist School and so on. And Jia Yu is among the best of them. He told me to learn from him." Liu Feng said a sentence, then fell onto the table.

  In the past, it was done this way, and now it is still done this way. Anyway, he is arrogant because of his favoritism. However, Liu Feng has also hinted to Dong Gai and others in the name of Liu Xie that they should learn from Jia Xu well.

  As for how much they can learn, it depends on their own luck. Anyway, Liu Feng is not going to learn anything. He was born to be a ruler, and as long as he can distinguish right from wrong and understand the situation, that's enough.

  "This."

  Liu Feng's words left Dong Gai somewhat perplexed and bewildered.

  "Your Highness, this is to let you listen carefully later and respect the teacher." On the other side, Wang Kun got up and came to Dong Gai's side, pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice.

  As he spoke, Wang Kun looked up at Liu Feng, his eyes shining with boundless reverence.

  If Liu Feng had borrowed an excuse to get rid of Xiahou Shang and others, Wang Kun was only suspicious, but now Wang Kun has confirmed it. This crown prince is not simple.

  If anyone dares to comment that the Crown Prince is a spoiled and arrogant rich kid, Wang Kun will definitely pick up his big stick and beat that person into a pig's head.

  With Wang Kun's reminder, Dong Gai quickly understood Liu Feng's meaning. He immediately thought of many things and also understood a lot, with a look of reverence in his eyes.

  This prince, seemingly arrogant and unreasonable, but every step he takes has a purpose, every word he says has a hidden motive. Each of his purposes and motives is extremely obscure.

  Just like Cao Pi and Xiahou Shang.

  Heaven knows, he's only eight years old.

  Dong Gai, Wang Kun's awe did not last long. Because soon someone walked in. The person was slender, dressed neatly, with a slightly dark complexion and a tuft of beard on his chin.

  It was Jia Xian.

  Jia Xian came in and didn't glance at anyone, but calmly walked to the top seat and sat down. After settling in, he swept his eyes over the many princes' attendants, pausing for a moment on Crown Prince Liu Feng's position.

  Liu Feng was naturally lying on the case, snoring loudly. However, because Jia Yu had some intelligence and knew what kind of virtue the crown prince was, he wasn't surprised either.

  He soon skipped over Liu Feng, and after sizing up the crowd, Jia Xiang said: "I am Jia Xiang, by order of the Emperor, succeeding Chen Feng, the former Taizi Shaofu, to instruct the Crown Prince and all of you."

  "Pay respects to Lord Jia." With Liu Feng's reminder, Dong Gai and Wang Kun exchanged a glance and bowed in unison.

  Originally, the Taizi Sheren present were also dissatisfied with Jia Yu like Dong Gai and Wang Kun before. However, now seeing Dong Gai and Wang Kun standing up to salute, they looked very respectful.

  Although they were perplexed, because they trusted Dong Ge, they also stood up and paid their respects.

  Apart from Crown Prince Liu Feng

  "You're welcome." Jia Yu's expression didn't change, and he nodded slightly.

  He then said, "When in office, plan for the government. Since the Emperor has decreed that I should instruct you all, I will naturally do my best." Having said this, Jia Xu paused and glanced around at everyone before saying, "I wonder who is the son of General Zhaoxin, Wang Kun?"

  "Your Excellency." Wang Kun bowed again and said.

  "I don't know which book Mr. Chen taught before. Where did he teach?" asked Jia Yu.

  "Analects of Confucius, Chapter 12."

  Wang Kun replied respectfully.

  "Alright. Go get the Analects." Jia Yu nodded and instructed the attendant beside him. This was where the Crown Prince studied, so naturally there were many books here, as well as some attendants.

  "Yes." The attendant nodded and went to fetch the book.

  The attendant quickly fetched the twelfth chapter of the Analects and brought it to Jia Yu's side. Jia Yu took it over and began to explain.

  Liu Feng was snoring loudly downstairs.
