[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

When the first cicada in the north of Luoyang City starts to sing, it means that summer in the Central Plains is coming.

Spring in Luoyang is short and precious, and the mild and pleasant April is fleeting, followed by Lixia.An ice basin had been added to the general's mansion early on, and Qin Chu lazily leaned on the table, turning over a page of bamboo paper with a soft sound.

The bamboo paper book was sent from Tobu in April, and it is said that it was the first batch produced for use—Cai Yan is not only good at internal affairs, but also seems to have a lot of experience in inventions and creations. I don’t know if it has something to do with her dark cooking.

"The bamboo books sent by Tobu are of high quality, Zhao Ji has a heart."

Xun Yu caressed the clean white bamboo paper, turned two more pages of "Ji Ran Pian" in his hand, and sighed: "If this paper can be generalized, the consequences will be immeasurable."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Qin Chu blinked, and smiled at him, "Bamboo paper is made of tender bamboo, and the price is high. The quantity of young bamboo in Xu/zhou is limited, and only three or two copies can be sent by Zhao Ji. Let alone promotion."

The papermaking technology of the Eastern Han Dynasty was backward, and her skill tree was not focused on technology.Thanks to Cai Yan's reliability, she copied the content according to the book, and she actually made white and smooth bamboo paper.

"The white hemp paper is the same, right?" Sun Ce leaned closer, "I have seen Zhao Ji's improved hemp paper, which has been bound into an account book. Except for some smudges, the rest is almost the same as this."

Only then did Qin Chu come back to his senses: "No, we have to change it again."

"My lord?"

"Preliminary preparation is of course the most important thing."

Guo Jia raised his head from the book, and seamlessly joined the conversation of several people: "Since my lord intends to promote the 'paper book', naturally you can't use the inferior products of dizzy ink to make up the number. You have to wait until the quality of hemp paper and bamboo paper is comparable." consider."

"...Oh." Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, turned his head again, and glanced at Lu Bu who was dozing off with the ice basin in his arms. Somehow, he thought of something, and the topic suddenly jumped up, and immediately shifted to another matter:

"Speaking of which, my lord said at the beginning of the year that he was going to fight Yuan Shu, why hasn't there been any movement?"

Catching the word "start war", Lu Bu, who was still cooling off by the ice basin and catching up on sleep, immediately opened his eyes wide, and echoed vaguely:

"What?"

Qin Chu: "..." She suspected that Lu Bu hadn't heard clearly.

At the beginning of the year, almost everyone thought that there would be a war with Yuan Shu in the spring... It's just that it's summer now, but the emperor still hasn't made a decision.

"Because the emperor is cowardly." Before Qin Chu gave the answer, Guo Jia had already answered the two generals leisurely:

"Since the winter wind and cold, the emperor's health has been declining. Now even the court meeting has been changed to once a month. Even the court meeting has to be supported by someone. It is only natural that he has lost his fighting spirit."

After Dong Zhuo abolished Li, the Young Emperor's health has deteriorated greatly.Although he was rescued by Qin Chu from the hand of Hades, his bones became weaker day by day, and he often coughed up blood during the worst days of the wind and cold.

According to Fu Shou, the servants in the palace trembled when they heard that it was their turn to serve the young emperor, probably because they were afraid that the emperor would die in front of him.

This situation lasted until April of this year, and it was not until the middle of the month when Luoyang warmed up that Shaodi developed a severe fever, and his illness gradually improved.

Of course, after Shaodi recovered from his illness, he had no time to be free, because all the ministers had their own ideas about political affairs.

According to the original discussion between Qin Chu and the Son of Heaven, Luo Yang's army should have gone south to Xu/zhou in mid-March to beat Yuan Shu under the banner of "taking back King Chenliu"—it's a pity that the Son of Heaven, who gave orders on the surface, suddenly started Pretend to have amnesia, worry about everything after a serious illness, and never mention the war.

Qin Chu thought it was because he was so sick that he forgot things, and when he interviewed Sheng Sheng, he made a few indirect remarks, only to find that he hadn't forgotten at all, and was just pretending to be stupid.

Perhaps the young emperor touched the handrail of the Naihe Bridge many times, and felt that his life was not long, so he wanted to follow the example of the late emperor.

But is this something you can do if you want to?

Not to mention whether there is room for Liu Bian's body to be "hollowed out by wine and sex", and not to mention what the young emperor's treasury and private treasury that was emptied by the post-establishment ceremony can provide. It was the group of Qingliu in the main hall who asked for the right way with bitter faces, and would not agree.

After Liu Bian ignored the suggestion of "going south to Xu/zhou" in the court hall for the third time, and retreated pretending that nothing had happened, someone finally couldn't help it.

In April, Yang Biao fled Luoyang with his family and went to Xuzhou without stopping.

Yang Biao is Yuan Shu's son-in-law, and Yuan Shu is in Xu/zhou again. The meaning of Yang Biao's move is almost obvious.

This person is regarded as a loyal Hanchen in the history books, but he escaped Luoyang where the young emperor was located in this timeline, and defected to Yuan Shu, who had no future at first glance, which is really unimaginable.

I don't know what Yang Biao thought - maybe he was disappointed with the young emperor, maybe he was driven by profit, in short, he left without hesitation.

But like him, there are not a few people who think that "Liu Bian and Liu Xie are the emperors of the Han family", at least most of the gentry in Xuyang and Yangzhou think so... Of course, Langya Fu's clan is not included among them. .

Fortunately, Yuan Shu was still afraid of Qin Chu who was far away in Luoyang, fearing that she would go crazy and send troops directly, so he did not attack the Fu family in the end.

However, seeing Yuan Shu's power gradually expanding, and the Qing schools were impatient and urged again and again, Liu Bian was still as if he was dead, full of decadence of "whatever he likes", "broken cans" and "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water" Breath, as always, pretending not to hear.

The Qingliu royalists who are deeply concerned still have a glimmer of hope for the emperor, but the rest of them have already seen Liu Bian's evasion.

Xun Yu probably also remembered Liu Bian's excuses several times, lowered his eyes, sighed, and shook his head slightly:

"If it weren't for this, Yang Wenxian wouldn't have escaped from Luo Yang."

People die when they die, and Yang Biao obviously has a deep understanding of this, thinking that the young emperor and his fate of breaking the court will not be long.

Sun Ce frowned: "If the Son of Heaven continues to be cowardly, does he really have to wait for Yuan Shu to invade Luoyang before he fights back?"

"will not."

Guo Jia laughed, put the bamboo paper "Zuo Zhuan" back on the case, slowly picked up the goose feather fan, and covered the lower half of his face: "Within five months, the Son of Heaven An order must be given."

Qin Chu blinked and immediately looked at him: "How do you say that?"

"Although the Son of Heaven doesn't want to go south, Yuan Gonglu has always planned to go north." Guo Jia laughed.

……

Let’s not talk about when the emperor’s decision will be made, but after the news spread that Yang Biao rushed to Xuzhou, it has triggered a series of chain reactions.

The Luoyang family began to show signs of splitting.

Although the situation is tense now, it has not yet reached the point of war.

The gentry in the capital are no different from the locals. Their ancestral home comes from all over the place, and they live in Luoyang only for the purpose of being officials.

This directly led to the fact that families with different philosophies did not see each other well, and it meant that they excluded each other for the sake of philosophies (and interests).

The relationship between Qin Chu and the aristocratic family has always been lukewarm, and thanks to Fu Wanxuan, the aristocratic family did not make things difficult for him.

It stands to reason that the fight between the family has nothing to do with her, but... this matter was dragged from Luoyang to Xu/zhou, and several other people were actually pulled out.

"Ajin, Aliang, and Ajun, I have met the general."

"I have seen the general."

Qin Chu glanced at the children in arithmetic progression and decreasing heights in front of him, and at Zhuge Xuan who was stroking his beard and smiling, and was in a daze.

What kind of butterfly effect is it that makes Zhuge Xuan bring three nephews to Luoyang to join her?

Qin Chu's eyes drifted slightly, and couldn't help but slid to the face of the child with a straight back and slightly raised chin in the middle.

Little friend Zhuge Liang immediately met her gaze, and there were two simple and sincere question marks in his shiny black pupils.

Qin Chu: "...Come, eat grapes."

Sitting in the corner of the study, Cao Pi looked at Qin Chu in a daze, and silently withdrew the hand that was reaching for the fruit plate on the desk.

"It's okay, Api, let's eat." Qin Chu pushed the celadon plate full of grapes towards him, waved at the three little Zhuges, and said with a smile, "Since he is a child of Mr. You are welcome."

Cao Pi turned his head to look at Zhuge Xuan, and immediately grabbed three more grapes.

"Thank you, General." Zhuge Liang blinked, and walked to the fruit plate first, followed by Zhuge Jun, who was as old as Cao Pi, with a confused expression on his face.

Zhuge Jin didn't step forward.He was the oldest, already a teenager, long past the age at which he would be invited to eat snacks by his host when he was a guest, and he was too embarrassed to accept the gift from this legendary general.

Zhuge Xuan probably saw his mood, patted his elder nephew on the shoulder, comforted him to relax with body language, and soon started talking again:

"When Langya was separated for twelve years, Ah Chu—you should be called the General. The General has really changed a lot. Back then, I said that Ah Chu had great ambitions, but I didn't want you...to be able to do this. .”

This is a bit of a sigh.Qin Chu could only shake his head, and smiled at the teacher:

"Mr. Yinyi can still call me Achu. Some things are just following the trend, and I didn't expect it to be like this."

Zhuge Xuan didn't care about her self-effacing, still said:

"Langya's white hemp and bamboo paper is a supernatural thing, although the public school is still experimenting, it also has its uniqueness.

"In addition, I have seen the blades used by your soldiers, which are also different from other places. It seems that there are many capable people under Ah Chu's command."

"The papermaking technique is not yet mature, sir." She waved her hand, took out a few pieces of fruit-flavored caramel from her pocket, handed them to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Xuan in turn, and finally stuffed them into Cao Pi's hands. Then she raised her head and looked slightly Su.

"Mr. suddenly came to Luoyang, so he must not be reporting the results for my people. Yang Wen went to Xu/zhou first, did he do something that affected you?"
