Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Since Liu Yu came out of the palace, he has been staying in the mansion and has not gone out.

After Liu Xie conferred the title of King of Wu on him, a group of loyal officials of the Han Dynasty came to his house to congratulate him, but Liu Yu politely declined all of them.

Until this day, Cai Yong came to the outside of the mansion to ask for a meeting.

Faced with such a great scholar, Liu Yu did not dare to be arrogant. He asked someone to invite Cai Yong in.

When Liu Yu saw Cai Yong and was about to salute, he was quickly stopped by Cai Yong.

"My uncle has pacified all the princes, and his achievements are unparalleled. Now he has been named the King of Wu by your majesty. How can I be so worthy of receiving your respect? Zhao Ji, please come and pay your respects to Uncle Liu."

A person walked in from outside the door. It was Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Yong.

However, in Liu Yu's mind, he still prefers to call her Cai Wenji.

The two of them saluted Liu Yu together.

Liu Yu pulled Cai Yong and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai was the leader of the literary world at that time, and he was the hope of the world. When I first entered Luoyang City, I was suspected by Dong Zhuo. It was thanks to Mr. Cai's help that I escaped with my life. I will never forget this kindness!"

After saying that, he asked the two to sit down.

Cai Yong waved his hands, feeling somewhat ashamed.

“With the wisdom of the Emperor’s uncle, even if I hadn’t said anything, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to harm the Emperor’s uncle. It was the Emperor’s uncle who saved my life from prison.

If the Emperor's uncle hadn't saved me, I would have long since become a withered bone in a grave. How could I still be sitting here and chatting with the Emperor's uncle?"

Liu Yu wanted to say something more modest, but Cai Wenji smiled and said, "You two are both talented people of the time, so there is no need to compliment each other."

Liu Yu laughed and expressed his agreement.

"Mr. Cai came here today. What's the important matter?"

Cai Yong waved his hand and ordered people to bring in several baskets of books.

"When I was free from teaching Your Majesty, I worked on history day and night, and finally completed this historical work. It's just right for the uncle to give some advice."

Looking at Cai Yong's sincere eyes, Liu Yu was secretly anxious.

"Mr. Cai is a man of unrivaled talent. The history book you compiled must be impeccable. I am not very knowledgeable, so how dare I give Mr. Cai any advice?

There are many civil officials and scholars in the court now, and Lord Cai's hard work should be examined by these people so that they can appreciate its essence."

Liu Yu was not being modest when he said this. Historical books have always been bitter, difficult to understand and boring since ancient times.

Although Liu Yu has been in this era for quite some time, he can only barely understand the meaning. How can he know whether there are subtleties between words?

But when Liu Yu's words fell into Cai Yong's ears, their meaning obviously changed.

"My uncle is extremely talented. Who in the world can compare to him? My uncle is trying to refuse. Could it be that he thinks the words in these history books are vulgar and difficult for him to appreciate?"

Liu Yu smiled faintly and could only helplessly respond: "Since Lord Cai insists on doing this, how dare I disobey your order!"

After saying that, he picked up the book and pretended to read it.

After reading for about half an hour, Liu Yu put the book down and praised: "Mr. Cai's words are like pearls, which is really admirable. After reading this book, can I use ten words to evaluate it?"

Cai Yong was surprised that the book he had worked so hard on was evaluated in just ten words.

This book is the product of all of Cai Yong's talent, and it is naturally full of all things. If Cai Yong were to use his own feelings to describe the beauty of this book, it would take thousands of words.

Cai Wenji has always been by Cai Yong's side, so how could she not understand what Cai Yong meant?

She had a slight smile on her face. She looked at Liu Yu and asked, "I wonder what ten words the emperor uncle thought of?"

"The swan song of historians, the Li Sao without rhyme."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cai Yong's solemn expression disappeared, and the wrinkles on his face almost covered his eyes.

"Uncle Liu is indeed very knowledgeable. It is a great comfort to receive such praise from him!

Cai Wenji smiled like a flower, her eyes full of admiration for Liu Yu.

She clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! Although the uncle only wrote ten short words about this book, they are worth a thousand words!"

Looking at the two people with smiling faces, Liu Yu was not surprised. These ten words were not his original creation, but the words of Mr. Lu Xun when he praised "Records of the Grand Historian".

What kind of person is Mr. Lu Xun? He is a peak that cannot be surpassed by all the later generations!

How could the two of them not be intoxicated by the words of such a person when praising the historian's masterpiece?

Perhaps feeling that he was laughing too happily and inappropriately, Cai Yong was the first to stop smiling.

He remembered that he had come to another thing, so he asked:

"I heard that the emperor's uncle is going to travel far away in the sea. I wonder if this is true or not?"

"This is true. Mi Zhu and others have already made arrangements. I am preparing to set out from Chang'an in two days to meet them."

"I have an unwelcome request, I wonder if the emperor's uncle can agree to it?"

"Please tell me the truth, Mr. Cai?"

Cai Yong pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Now that this history book has been completed, I have no regrets. I am willing to follow the emperor's uncle and take a look around. I wonder if the emperor's uncle is willing to take me with him?"

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "On the sea, the wind is high and the waves are fierce, the turbulence is constant, and the environment is very bad. Mr. Cai is so old, and drifting on the sea with me, I am afraid it will be harmful to Mr. Cai's health."

Cai Yong laughed heartily, raised his arms and shook them twice, indicating that he was in good health and showed no signs of aging.

"Uncle, don't worry about this. I have been wandering for half my life and I am already familiar with the environment above the vast sea. In addition, I am in good health, so even if I am above the vast sea, you don't need to worry about me."

Seeing Liu Yu hesitated, Cai Yong continued, "I want to go to sea with my uncle, see the scenery overseas, and write a travelogue to pass on to future generations. This is my only wish at the moment. Can my uncle really refuse?"

Seeing that Cai Yong was very determined, Liu Yu could only nod and agree.

"In that case, please pack your luggage, Lord Cai. We will set off in two days."

Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled. The emperor’s uncle was kind and kind. He felt embarrassed to refuse my repeated requests.

The sage said: A gentleman can be deceived by his own ways. This is true!

"Zhao Ji, help me go back and pack my luggage. In two days, I will go out to sea with my father!"

Liu Yu was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Zhao Ji, no... Miss, are you going with us too?"

Cai Yong said calmly with a faint smile: "Of course, otherwise who would take care of me?"

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Yu to refuse, he bowed to Liu Yu and left with Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji walked to the door, turned around and looked at Liu Yu, with a strange look in her eyes.

After the two men left, Xu Chu said, "My Lord, Lord Cai followed you out to sea not just to write a travelogue."

Without waiting for Liu Yu to speak, he transformed himself into a hermit and began to reason.

“Mr. Cai has already finished writing history books, so his enthusiasm for writing books must have waned.

The only thing he cares about may be his single daughter.

So that's how it is..., lord, I understand, lord, please don't leave, let me explain it to you again..."
