Chapter 13 Being a Taifu, Wang Xiyao, what virtue and what ability?

Wang Xiyao has excellent psychological qualities, and he did not show any panic in the face of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. He escaped. As long as Wang Xiyao responded improperly, he might not be able to leave Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Hongying came to the sword hall and asked Wang Xiyao to enter the palace.

"Prince Wang, the princess is in a bad mood." Hongying said, "You should persuade Your Highness the Princess at first."

Wang Xiyao asked: "Have Your Highness the Princess been wronged?"

Hongying said, "Your Highness the Princess went to see the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and after he came back, he got angry."

Wang Xiyao said, "Let's go. Let's go into the palace to see the princess."

Hongtao held the green sword and wanted to go out to the sword hall with Wang Xiyao.

Wang Xiyao said: "The green light sword cannot appear in the eyes of outsiders. Hongtao, you can go to the palace with you, but you can't bring the green light sword."

Wang Xiyao said in front of Dong Zhuo that he used a wooden sword, and the wooden sword could not kill anyone. If Dong Zhuo knew that the green light sword was in his hands, it would be dangerous.

Hong Tao said, "But, Your Highness, let me keep my sword away and follow the young master."

Wang Xiyao said, "Hongtao, then you stay in the sword hall. If you are bored, go find Senior Brother Ji Yun and ask him to teach you sword skills."

...

Princess Wannian sat in the quiet courtyard reading a book, looking quiet, not like she was in a bad mood.

It seems that she still has some experience in controlling her emotions.

Being able to control one's own emotions and not lose one's temper easily is a kind of cultivation. Such a state of mind is not something that ordinary young people can have.

Princess Wannian's mind is much stronger than her peers. According to Wang Xiyao's estimate, her mind is at least about 25 years old.

Wang Xiyao walked to Princess Wannian, clasped his fists and said, "Princess."

Princess Wannian put down the bamboo slips and said, "Sit down. Rainbow cherry blossoms and tea."

Wang Xiyao took a sip of tea and said, "Princess, have you gone to meet the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei?"

Princess Wannian nodded and said, "Yuan Wei is the Grand Tutor, responsible for teaching my two younger brothers to study. My two emperor brothers are under the control of the traitor Dong Zhuo, and it is difficult for me to see them. Yuan Wei can meet two emperor brothers every day. I go to see Yuan Wei because I want him to recommend you to be my emperor brother's martial arts teacher."

In fact, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took control of the court, Princess Wannian has never seen Liu Bian and Liu Xie again.

Princess Wannian is not sure what happened to Liu Bian and Liu Xie now.

Wang Xiyao said: "Then Yuan Wei must have rejected the princess' proposal."

Princess Wannian's face was a little gloomy and she said coldly: "Yuan Wei, this old guy, said nicely, but he has been avoiding answering questions. He relied on the Yuan family's power and did not give me any face."

For a family like the Yuan family, not to mention a princess, even if the prince comes, he does not have enough interests to exchange, and he will not be able to give face.

Dong Zhuo was afraid of the foundation of the aristocratic family, which shows the strength of the aristocratic family.

Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu kept saying that they were loyal to the Han court, but deep down they always put family interests first. Not only the Yuan family, but other aristocratic families were the same.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would not have hit the palace and thought they had caused a big disaster, so they immediately fled from Luoyang and went to another place to become officials.

Killing the Ten Constables and rushing to the palace can be said to have erased the last bit of dignity of the Liu family royal family. In this way, it is easy to understand that Yuan Wei does not give Princess Wannian face.

Wang Xiyao asked: "Your Highness Princess, are you really planning to let me teach His Majesty and Prince Cooperation's martial arts?"

Princess Wannian nodded and said, "Of course. In this world, all the civil and military ministers are unreliable. I am not by my side and cannot protect them at all times. I can only let them practice their skills by themselves. I don't ask them to be as mysterious as Wang Xiyao, but I hope they can draw their swords and fight to the death without being slaughtered."

Wang Xiyao said, "I understand. Your Highness, don't worry, I will arrange the matter of teaching Your Majesty and assisting the prince's martial arts."

Princess Wannian said, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Xiyao said, "I am Dong Zhuo now. His Highness the Princess asked Yuan Wei to recommend me to be the teacher of His Majesty and Prince of the Union, but Dong Zhuo would definitely not agree. Later, I went to see Cao Mengde and asked him to recommend me to be the swordsmanship of His Majesty in front of Dong Zhuo. The purpose is to monitor the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei."

Princess Wannian's eyes lit up and she said, "It's a good idea. Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei are born mortal enemies. If you go to monitor Yuan Wei, Dong Zhuo will definitely agree."

Princess Wannian is smart, and Wang Xiyao can figure out the key points.

Wang Xiyao said: "Princess, that old guy Dong Zhuo is a hungry ghost. The ministers and ministers hide their daughters tightly, for fear of being met by him. You'd better not leave the palace often. If you are caught by Dong Zhuo, you'll be unable to escape the clutches."

Princess Wannian nodded and said, "I will be careful of Dong Zhuo. Wang Xiyao, I don't have the strength around me. I want to gather some people."

It takes a lot of money and food to summon the ministry. The Wannian Princess does not have that much money and food.

Wang Xiyao said: "In the sword hall, I still have hundreds of senior brothers. I will find an opportunity and arrange for His Royal Highness the Princess to meet them. There are a few hundred people a little, but if used properly, it will be a force."

………

Leaving the courtyard of Princess Wannian.

Wang Xiyao went to see Cao Cao.

Many people know about Wang Xiyao and Cao Cao. When you meet friends, there is no need to do it like an underground party link. Doing that will arouse suspicion from others.

It's better to go there openly.

If you defect to Dong Zhuo, can’t you make friends? Can’t you meet your previous friends? What should you do before? It’s better to still be like this now.

This is to let things go.

When Cao Cao saw Wang Xiyao, he said in surprise: "Brother Xiyao, why are you here? This is the first time you have come to Brother Yu."

Wang Xiyao said: "Brother Meng De, I'm here to discuss something."

Cao Cao said, "Come on, let's go to the study to discuss in detail."

After one hour.

Cao Cao sent Wang Xiyao out and said, "Brother Xiyao, I will recommend you to Dong Zhuo tomorrow."

Wang Xiyao clasped his fists and said, "Brother Meng De, say goodbye."

Cao Cao said, "Brother Xi Yao walked slowly, so I won't send you more."

Neither of them mentioned the assassination of the Xiliang Army by swordsmen. Therefore, the two of them were tacit and had nothing to talk about.

Cao Cao felt that it was no longer important whether he was the killer of Wang Xiyao.

………

Dong Zhuo hugged a beauty and took a nap for a while. As soon as he woke up, Lu Bu came to report and said that Cao Cao was asking for a meeting.

"Cao Mengde is here?" Dong Zhuo asked in confusion, "What did he do when he comes to see our family? Forget it, let him come in."

When talking to a irritable person like Dong Zhuo, you must not be silly, but must be straightforward. Because Dong Zhuo's patience is really not good.

Cao Cao has already figured out Dong Zhuo's character these days.

If you want to survive under Dong Zhuo, you must give your preferences. In other words, you should not flatter the horse's legs.

When Cao Cao came in, he said directly: "Prime Minister, I want to recommend Wang Xiyao as the Grand Tutor and teach His Majesty and King Chenliu's martial arts."

Dong Zhuo said: "Why do you need to teach Your Majesty the martial arts? Your Majesty just needs to study."

Cao Cao said: "Prime Minister, letting Wang Xiyao stay by His Majesty's side, teaching martial arts and swordsmanship is fake, and monitoring Yuan Wei is real. If Yuan Wei only lets Yuan Wei be the Grand Tutor alone, who knows what he teaches His Majesty? If Yuan Wei often speaks bad words about the Prime Minister in front of His Majesty, it may affect the relationship between the Prime Minister and His Majesty."

Dong Zhuo immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes. Our family cannot let Yuan Wei be His Majesty's tutor alone, and we must find someone to monitor this old guy. His Majesty's tutor needs to be both literary and military. It is just right to let Wang Xiyao be His Majesty's tutor."

Cao Cao's proposal was deeply loved by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Come on, let Wang Xiyao come to see our house."

...

Wang Xiyao brought wooden swords to Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Dong Zhuo said: "Xiyao, we have decided to teach Your Majesty and King Chenliu Liu Xie's martial arts and swordsmanship. However, after you become the Grand Tutor, you cannot really teach two children's martial arts. Your duty is to monitor Yuan Wei for our family. You cannot let Yuan Wei say bad things about our family in front of His Majesty."

Wang Xiyao took retreat as an advance and said, "I am afraid that the Prime Minister, as Your Majesty's Grand Tutor, I am afraid that I cannot be the one who is the chief tutor. After all, I am still guilty and are suspected of killing Li Ziwei and others. Will the Prime Minister make such arrangements be a bit inappropriate?"

Dong Zhuo likes Wang Xiyao's attitude very much.

Dong Zhuo said: "There is nothing wrong. If our family says you are suitable, you are suitable. The death of Li Ziwei and the others is that they are not lucky enough to enjoy the glory and wealth with our family. We believe that Xiyao, you will definitely not kill them. You are not a murderer and are innocent."

The death of Li Xiaowei and the others was not as expected by Wang Xiyao, and it would definitely be in vain in the end.

There are no experts under Dong Zhuo who solves the case, so the truth cannot be found.

Wang Xiyao clasped his fists and said, "That subordinate will follow the Prime Minister's arrangements. Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on Yuan Wei and will not give him the opportunity to slander his words in front of His Majesty and corrupt the reputation of the Prime Minister."

………

When he was in the morning court the next day, Dong Zhuo directly appointed Wang Xiyao as the martial arts tutor of the little emperor and Chenliu Wang Liu Xie. Princess Wannian immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she received the news. Wang Xiyao really did not disappoint me.

After the courtship.

Wang Xiyao and Yuan Wei went to give lectures to His Majesty.

Yuan Wei glanced at Wang Xiyao's official uniform and felt very upset. Wang Xiyao was just a raider who knew swordsmanship, but he actually put on the official uniform of the Taifu like himself.

The Han Dynasty has reached the point where the rituals and music collapse. Any kind of thief can gain a foothold in the court. It's really outrageous.

Yuan Wei said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Xiyao, who was famous in Luoyang, would also become Dong Zhuo's hawk. It really opened my eyes."

Wang Xiyao smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yuan, you seem to have some misunderstandings about Wang."

Yuan Wei said, "I have no misunderstandings about you. Wang Xiyao, you are not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, do not know etiquette, and can only play with swords. Let me ask, a vulgar person like you, how can you be your Majesty's Grand Tutor?"

Wang Xiyao said: "What Mr. Yuan said is that Wang only knows swordsmanship and is not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. Didn't the court's orders be explained very clearly? Wang is just the martial arts tutor of His Majesty and Prince Xie, and only teaches them martial arts and swordsmanship. As for the Four Books and Five Classics, it's enough to have Master Yuan teach His Majesty. Lord Yuan, you should be glad that you should thank Wang for not understanding the Four Books and Five Classics. Otherwise, if I teach His Majesty to study and teach His Majesty the Swordsmanship, you will not be the Grand Tutor. Haha..."

Yuan Wei said with a dark face, "Young man, don't be so proud. Things in the court are not as simple as you think, and they are deep. With your attitude, I can foresee that your fate will not be very good in the future."
