Chapter 427 The Minister of the Imperial Secretariat and the Commandant of the Imperial Guard: A Cho
Su Yu entrusted Huang She to go to Jiangxia and bring Huang Chengyan over.
But right now, he has another important thing to do.
At the entrance of Shuijing Academy
The once bustling Shuijing Academy is now deserted.
Where have the people gone?
Of course, it was the benevolent Wei Yan who arranged for them to go on a free, government-funded trip to Xuchang.
Wei Yan was a truly kind person.
Not only was the publicly funded trip free of charge, but they were also given extra people to take them to the 6A-level scenic spot, the Shangshu Ling Mansion!
They might come back after ten or eight years of travel, or when they're in their final resting place.
"The Water Mirror Academy is quite a nice place."
"From now on, this place will be renamed the University of Science and Technology."
Su Yu gave instructions to the group of followers behind him.
"Here!"
Xu Chu strode forward and immediately removed the plaque from the gate of the Water Mirror Academy.
Why isn't it called the Great Han University of Science and Technology?
Because if we add the words "Great Han" now, we'll have to change it later, which is troublesome, so we'll just omit those two words.
The subjects taught at polytechnic universities are quite different from those taught in traditional colleges.
Su Yu focuses on cultivating special talents at the university of science and technology.
People like Huang Chengyan and Ge Xuan are considered exceptional talents.
As for Guo Jia, damn it, how can we let the future generations be poisoned by this scoundrel?
Thinking of this, Su Yu looked disgusted, completely forgetting that he was the one who led Guo Jia down this path of no return.
but.
For Guo Jia, this also meant finding value and meaning in life.
My body has also become much stronger, and I've given up that awful drug, Wudansan.
I reckon I could live for several more decades without any problem.
"Who's there?"
Xu Chu, who had just put down the plaque for the Water Mirror Academy, heard a commotion coming from the bushes not far away.
In no time, Xu Chu strode forward and pulled an eight- or nine-year-old boy out of the bushes.
"Who are you?"
Su Yu's eyes were sharp.
The boy looked very clever, and his eyes were shining.
“I…I am called Zhou Buyi.”
The young man was not afraid of Xu Chu, but instead loudly proclaimed his name.
"Zhou Buyi?"
"It was you all!"
Su Yu smiled. This little guy was originally a famous child prodigy in history, and he was also the companion that Cao Cao arranged for Cao Chong after he captured Xiangyang.
Speaking of which, Cao Chong is now five years old. He is very clever and is very much loved by Cao Cao.
However, it was not a good thing for two bright young men to get together, especially since Zhou Buyi was five years older than Cao Chong.
Historically, after Cao Chong's death, Zhou Buyi was killed by Cao Cao.
The Book of Jin records that Cao Cao was worried that Zhou Buyi was too clever and that his future successor would not be able to control him.
Emmm...
Although the compilers of the Book of Jin were Fang Xuanling and others from the Tang Dynasty.
However, the people who provided the materials were all descendants of the Sima family.
Many things can only be viewed dialectically.
In particular, many parts of the Book of Jin conflict greatly with the Records of the Three Kingdoms and Pei Songzhi's annotations.
According to Su Yu's understanding, Zhou Buyi's death was inevitable, but it certainly wasn't some nonsense like Cao Cao worrying that his future successor wouldn't be able to control Zhou Buyi.
Cao Cao was delighted to see two child prodigies together, and since his own son was also one of them.
But what does Cao Cao think when his son suddenly dies under mysterious circumstances while another child prodigy is still alive?
Let's set aside the question of whether Zhou Buyi was involved in Cao Chong's death.
Even if he didn't, Cao Cao would subconsciously feel uncomfortable every time he saw Zhou Buyi.
But now, Cao Cao no longer has this worry.
Cao Ang's position as successor was as secure as Mount Tai, and Cao Pi also became Cao Ang's capable assistant.
No one in Cao Cao's camp would have anything better to do than plot against Cao Chong.
The intelligent Cao Chong could have enjoyed a completely different life.
"Zhou Buyi, why are you here?"
“Tell me why you’re here.”
Su Yu did not underestimate Zhou Buyi because of his age.
This kid is smart; he's got potential.
But if he dares to play tricks, congratulations to Xun Yu for getting another express delivery order.
In any case, Xun Yu was popular with both young and old, and his evil deeds were numerous.
Zhou Buyi quickly cupped his hands in greeting:
"Your Excellency, I previously sought knowledge from Mr. Kongming of the Water Mirror Academy."
"But ever since the Water Mirror Academy was deserted last time, Mr. Kongming has disappeared without a trace."
Zhou Buyi's words did remind Su Yu.
Where is Zhuge Liang now?
Su Yu estimated that they were probably still wandering with Liu Bei.
The intelligence that Wei Yan had previously sent to Su Yu also stated that Zhuge Liang's sister and brother were still in Xiangyang.
When Su Yu has some free time later, he will naturally go and pay a visit to Zhuge Liang's older sister and younger brother.
For no other reason than to take care of Zhuge Liang's siblings.
With this in mind, Su Yu said to Zhou Buyi:
"We don't know when Zhuge Liang will return."
"But your studies must not be wasted."
"It is fate that we met today."
"I'll recommend two good places to go."
"First, the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat in Xuchang. Minister Xun is kind and approachable, and treats people with great kindness. He is especially friendly to newcomers, particularly young people, whom he always treats with an inclusive attitude."
"You can learn a lot of knowledge by going to the Minister's residence."
Second, the Imperial Guard Commandery.
"I heard that Su Ziyi is only good at plotting and scheming, and he's not a good person."
Xu Chu and the others standing nearby almost burst out laughing.
Are you criticizing yourself here?
Okay, whatever makes you happy.
Only you would dare to say something like that.
If someone else said that to you, you'd definitely send them to the Minister's residence!
Zhou Buyi was shocked to hear this.
But being clever, he quickly grasped the key words in Su Yu's words.
The person in front of me is either Xun Yu or Su Yu!
Why was Zhou Buyi so confident in making this assertion?
Because Xiangyang is now under Cao Cao's control.
It's quite normal for core high-ranking figures from Cao Cao's camp to appear here.
On the contrary, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, the former local bullies in Xiangyang, are now keeping a much lower profile.
And the person who dares to make such a comment about Xun Yu and Su Yu, considering their age, must naturally be one of the two!
Suddenly, a glint appeared in Zhou Buyi's eyes, the kind of light that comes from an Edogawa elementary school student seeing through the truth.
He shouted loudly:
"My lord, I want to go to the Imperial Guard's residence! I want to serve you, Commandant!"
"I am proud to be the Commandant of the Guards, and I will respect you for the rest of my life!"
"You bastard!!!"
"This kid's amazing!"
Xu Chu and his guards were stunned.
I've seen people lick before, but I never imagined someone could lick this much!
Su Yu smiled with relief.
The younger generation is truly formidable; unlike some foolish middle-aged people who, faced with similar problems, unhesitatingly chose the Minister's office. (Feng Ji: ???)
“Very good, Zhongkang, pack this kid’s bags and he’ll stay by my side from now on.”
Su Yu waved his hand and turned to go to the residence of the Zhuge siblings.
Zhou Buyi clenched his fist excitedly; he had made the right choice!
As a fallen nobleman whose status had severely declined, if Zhou Buyi had followed the normal path of entering officialdom, he would probably have only become a minor official at best.
But now, he is destined for a bright future.
