Liu Xiu instinctively picked up Feng Xue's soft body and rolled under the bed. He leaned on all sides, tightened his muscles all over his body, and set up another protective layer above Feng Xue.

The room was quiet and there was no movement anymore. The bed was pitch black and there was nothing to see. Only the other party's rapid breathing was heard. Feng Xue guessed his feelings from Liu Xiu's posture. Tears thrust out her arms, hugged Liu Xiu's tense neck tightly, and put her wet lips tightly on his lips.

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body slowly relaxed, but he didn't have time to enjoy the warmth of the wind and snow. Listening to the messy footsteps outside, he leaned into Feng Xue's ear and whispered: "Get out quickly, otherwise Hao Zhao and the others will come in immediately."

In the darkness, Fengxue nodded reluctantly, pecked Liu Xiu's lips, and then crawled out.

Hao Zhao and the others did not come in. Liu Xiu looked around in surprise and saw that there was no one in the room, but the originally closed door opened a crack. He looked out from the crack and saw Hao Zhao's young and tall figure standing in front of the door. Next to it was Xu Qian, who was as wide as a sub-door panel, and the two of them were motionless, guarding the door like a door god.

Outside the yard, there were chattering and talking. From the sound, there were Cai Yong, Wang Yun, or Mrs. Lu. Liu Xiu winked at Fengxue and signaled her not to go out in the house. Then he tidied up his clothes, coughed, opened the door and walked out.

"Sir!" Xu Qian and Hao Zhao separated from each other and bowed to salute at the same time. They were relieved when they saw that Liu Xiu was safe.

"What are you talking about outside?" Liu Xiu asked seriously.

"I'm talking about the earthquake." Hao Zhao said, "Some people are nervous, and some people say it's a warning from God."

"I'm talking nonsense again." Liu Xiu frowned and raised his legs to go out. The moon had risen to the sky, sprinkled on the smooth bluestone, as if it was a layer of water. There were many people standing in the wide square, from east to west. The Huns' children did not care about their usual conflicts at this time, and they were squeaking together in fear, looking at the silent school that had just been creaking and now.

Seeing Liu Xiu come out, Cai Yong and others came up to meet him and asked in a verbal manner: "Are you okay sir?"

"Sir, are you okay?"

Liu Xiu was already as calm as before. For him, who had experienced several major earthquakes that had not been seen in a century, this kind of small earthquake just now was just a drizzle. He did not answer the greetings of Cai Yong and others, but looked back at the new house, patted a few pillars of the house, and found that it was not moving at all, and was not affected by the earthquake. Then he said with satisfaction: "Master Zi, this school is well built and very strong."

Wang Yun laughed: "Sir, Bingzhou often has earthquakes. It is impossible to deal with such earthquakes by the houses built by our craftsmen. Cai Boyi is in a plain, so strange that he is rare."

Cai Yong's eyes rolled, and he felt that his words were very harsh. However, during the earthquake just now, he was panicked and performed the worst. He was embarrassed in front of future students, which made him very embarrassed and it was difficult to refute Wang Yun's words.

"It's nothing. It's just an earthquake, it's just a sneeze on the earth." Liu Xiu turned to the calm and composed Mrs. Lu, "Is the earthquake in the Bashu area much stronger than this one?"

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly: "What the Lord said is very true. In Bashu, such earthquakes are used to it. Only those who destroy the mountains and mausoleums are called earthquakes."

"There are many earthquakes in mountainous places, and there is nothing strange about it." Liu Xiu joked to Cai Yong: "Mr. Cai, if you want to follow the prophecy, divination and disaster, this responsibility will probably fall on me, the governor of Bingzhou? I tell you, you can't frame me, I did nothing bad."

There were two dry laughs in the crowd, and soon calmed down again. The atmosphere was very awkward. Liu Xiu glanced at him, scratching his head secretly, thinking that this was really unlucky. I just moved into Jinyang School on the first day and actually encountered something like an earthquake. If I didn't change their ideas, my reputation would be broken. When it was spread to Luoyang, it would probably become a proof of unforgivable sin.

Even God is not satisfied.

He looked up at the moon, estimated the time, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Since everyone is not interested in sleeping, let's talk about this moonlight once. The theme is the earthquake just now, how about it?"

Cai Yong and Wang Yun exchanged glances with each other and nodded repeatedly. Earthquakes are ominous. According to the theory of disasters and strangeness, the earth belongs to Yin and subordinates. Earthquakes represent the following systems, using Yin to control Yang. For example, powerful ministers abusing power, people are uneasy, and harems interfering in politics, all belong to the category of earthquakes. Liu Xiu visited a state as a young favorite minister who was just young, and he made the Huns very violently. It seemed that the scenery was unique for a while. In fact, there were many crises, so it was perfect to explain it with earthquakes.

If this idea spreads, it will be very unfavorable for Liu Xiu's rule in Bingzhou, and it will be a very bad start for the newly born Jinyang Academy. Therefore, whether it is Wang Yun, a wealthy family in Bingzhou or Cai Yong, the high priest of Jinyang Academy, they do not want such a thing to happen. How to find a proper explanation to separate the earthquake from Liu Xiu is very urgent.

Liu Xiu proposed to discuss the earthquake at this moment, which is exactly what they want.

The moonlit night was cool and there was no hot day. Everyone went back to their house and took out the seats, and sat on the ground in the square. Cai Yong was originally going to be the main speaker, but Liu Xiu said, "You are the high priest, and you will have the chance to talk in the future. Today, let me show off my skills and ask the Yu Fang family."

Cai Yong was a little nervous, but when he thought that he couldn't say anything new, he might as well let Liu Xiu talk about it. Although this person is knowledgeable, he is quite strange and strange. Maybe he can come up with a unique idea and solve this crisis.

Liu Xiu did not wear a crown on his head, but just tied a headscarf and did not wear a battle robe. Instead, he was wearing a moon-white regular dress. At this moment, he stood in the square and bathed in the silver moonlight, and suddenly looked a little more elegant, which was very different from the impression of heroism that he usually gave people.

"Can you raise your hand if you have experienced earthquakes before?" Liu Xiu spoke, instead of talking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the classics of Saints, he asked a common question. The people below hesitated for a moment, and dozens of people raised their hands. Liu Xiu asked them to tell them about the earthquake he encountered, and then asked their hometowns and past one by one.

No one knows what he is doing. Everyone finds it interesting and curious, and concentrates on how he will continue.

"Have you noticed that I just asked dozens of people, most of whom were in mountainous areas or nearby mountains. There were very few people on the plains. Mr. Cai's home is in Chenliu, and there are no mountains nearby. He has never encountered an earthquake in his hometown. Zhang Xiusheng is in Bashu, and earthquakes are common for him, and he is used to it."

When everyone thinks, it seems that this is indeed the case. Most of the people who have just said that they have encountered earthquakes are from southern Bingzhou and Bashu counties, and few from Shandong.

"Does that mean that the people in Bingzhou and Bashu are not good, and the people in Chenliu are good?" Liu Xiu patted and smiled, "I admit that Mr. Cai's morality is as good as his knowledge, but this cannot mean that the people in Chenliu are all good people. Bingzhou and Bashu are bad people. Bingzhou also has talents like Wang Zishi, and the Wang family and Wen family. If you look forward, there are also famous officials like Feng Fengshi who are both civil and military and powerful in our country. Bashu people are outstanding and beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers. There are Zhang Qian who has opened up the Western Regions, and Sima Xiangru, who is literary and elegant. Do you think so? Just say that there are famous officials like Jin Riye among the Huns. Emperor Xiaowu also praised his mother for her good education and painted her description in the hall. Even Chenliu has never had such glory."

Everyone laughed relaxedly. Although the Huns could not understand Chinese and had to wait for the translation to pass, they felt very proud when they heard Liu Xiu praise the Huns, although Jin Il-jeong had nothing to do with them.

"It can be seen from this that I think that earthquakes have a greater relationship with the terrain and have no connection with human affairs." Liu Xiu put forward his argument. Before he could analyze it in detail, a man in his thirty years old stood up: "I dare to ask, if natural disasters have nothing to do with human affairs, isn't that the theory of the response of heaven and man a false statement?"

"I dare ask you, yes..."

"Jinyang Wang Rou."

Liu Xiu nodded. He just said that Wang Yun was just trying to pick the nerves of the Wang family in Jinyang. Wang Rou was the first to jump out. He nodded, signaled Wang Rou to sit down first, and then asked politely: "I dare to ask Wang Jun, if the earthquake was caused by human affairs, then I dare to ask Wang Jun, is it a place where people rarely visited, and there will be no earthquake?"

Wang Rouyu choked.

"Then let me ask you again, if the earthquake is really God to remind the rulers, then why are the ordinary people punishing? The Master said that harsh government is more powerful than tigers, and ordinary people are the victims of harsh government. God wants to remind the rulers who implement harsh governments, so they naturally have to speak out for the ordinary people. But why did he use earthquakes as a means of harming ordinary people to remind the rulers, rather than directly dropping the victims on the rulers?"

Liu Xiu changed his tone and said to everyone with a smile: "For example, I like to eat wine, drink a thousand stones, but Wang Jun, who has not been drunk, was drunk. Not only did he vomit and lose all face in front of him, but he also had a headache on the next day and his eyes were closed. Do you think this is a bit unfair?"

Everyone laughed, the originally nervous atmosphere was relaxed, and even Wang Rou couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I know that most people think that earthquakes are related to personnel and affairs, which is God's warning to officials, but everyone thinks so, it may not necessarily be true. Just like the Xianbei people say that Tan Shihuai is the son of the Marquis of Toulu, but in fact, Toululu does not think so."

Everyone laughed again, especially the Huns laughed loudly, and most of them knew about this.

"For example, everyone thinks that the sky is round and the place is round, but I tell you now that the land is not square, but a ball. Do you believe it?"

"Ball?" Hearing this strange and strange theory, everyone started to whisper, and soon someone stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Liu, this earth is obviously flat, how can it be said to be a ball?"

Liu Xiu waved his hand and signaled the people who were talking about it. "Actually, Zhang Pingzi has already discussed this truth in detail. His article has been brought to the school by Mr. Cai. I will ask Mr. Cai to tell you about it immediately. I won't talk about it here. I will only talk about one question. Some people say that the sun is the father, the moon is the mother, and the earth is the son. Since the sun and the moon are both round, why is the child of Dadi a square? Can a pair of cows give birth to a horse? Isn't this more suspicious than the origin of Tan Shihuai?"

Everyone couldn't help but whisper. Those knowledgeable scholars were embarrassed to laugh as loud as the Huns, but they were so awesome about Liu Xiu's metaphor. Although they thought he was a little nonsense, they could not find a reason to refute it for a while.

Liu Xiu stopped when he saw that he was ready and asked Cai Yong to tell everyone about Zhang Heng's article about the round shape of the earth. Cai Yong had the ability to remember everything he could. He first memorized Zhang Heng's article and then began to explain it. He added some understandings he had learned from his own thoughts. Zhang Heng's articles were much more elegant than Liu Xiu's metaphors. The scholars savored Zhang Heng's beautiful writing style while listening to Cai Yong's explanations, like drinking mellow wine, drunk without knowing it. The Huns' children were dizzy, and they only heard it, but could not understand anything. Translation can only translate the general idea, and to accurately express the beauty of Zhang Heng's words, they must not.

Since I have always thought that the earth is flat, why is it not a lie to be related to human affairs? Perhaps as Lord Liu said, earthquakes are only related to terrain. There are many earthquakes in mountainous places, but they have no connection with human affairs.

In the mutual explanation of Cai Yong and Liu Xiu, everyone not only gradually dissipated the fear of the earthquake, but also unknowingly accepted a critical class that used rational logic to break the slanderous prejudice. This class was very fresh, but this method was easier to accept. Everyone sat on the ground, regardless of the degree of superiority and inferiority. If you have any questions, you can ask questions on the spot. The speaker answered the questions on the spot, and they could also argue with each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and lively, and the thinking was active, and there were admirable witty words from time to time.

Before I knew it, the moon was already west and the dew was deep. Only then did the feeling dissipate and fall asleep with all kinds of novel knowledge and methods.

Liu Xiu had good routines. Although he slept very late, he woke up on time the next day. The wind and snow were not sleepy. He curled up in the bed and slept soundly, with a sweet and shy smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Liu Xiu did not ask her to wash her face and rinse her mouth, and then started practicing martial arts in the yard. Hearing the sound of him stomping on the ground, Hao Zhao woke up in, rubbing his eyes while rushing in, repeatedly apologizing.

Liu Xiu paused the boxing style and gave Hao Zhao a wink: "Bo Dao, it's not a war time now, you don't have to be so nervous. I will practice for a while myself, and you will go to bed. I slept too late yesterday. If I don't sleep enough, you will be inactive today."

Hao Zhao was very ashamed: "How can this... work?"

"It's okay." Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I'm not a seventy-eighty person. I can't take care of myself without anyone taking care of me. Go and sleep."

Hao Zhao was so grateful that he opened his mouth and yawned, and then went to make up for his sleep. Liu Xiu continued to practice boxing, carefully pondering the subtle changes in each move and force. He stopped until Cai Yong walked in.

"Sir, I'm in good spirits." Liu Xiu glanced at Cai Yong and praised. However, after sleeping for two hours, Cai Yong couldn't see any fatigue. At his age, he was very good.

"I developed the habit of studying in the past. I have fled everywhere in the past two years, learned some guidance techniques, practiced every day, and my health is quite acceptable." Cai Yong said indifferently, and pointed at Liu Xiu: "Are you Mozi's Five Elements Technique?"

Liu Xiu was surprised: "Sir, do you know?"

"I heard from your cousin Liu Xuande that he practiced every day. Once I went to visit your husband Lu Zigan, and I happened to see him, so I asked a little more and he told me."

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, Liu Bei was always unwilling to accept it. It seemed that he had done a lot of hard work.

"This..." Cai Yong hesitated for a moment, and saw that there was no one around. Then he pulled Liu Xiu's arm and walked into the room, whispering: "Where did you learn the Mozi Five Elements Technique?"

"What, is there a problem?" Liu Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Cai Yong's expression.

"When I was in Luoyang, the emperor asked me this question. As far as I know, Mozi's Five Elements Art was not seen in the pre-Qin philosophers, and even the great scholars in the early Han Dynasty had never seen similar records. Mozi's articles were scattered among the people. Later, the court cleaned up the world's classics, and Mozi's articles gradually reappeared in the world, but there were many strange arts that were only known and not seen in their books."

Cai Yong paused and continued, "When I was proofreading books in Dongguan, I once read the royal collections. I found a record in it. The name of Mozi's Five Elements Art was first seen in Liu Xiang's "The Book of Pillows". "The Book of Pillows" was a private book written by Liu Xiang, which specialized in recording various secret matters. The book was later unknown."

"I don't know where to go?"

"Yes." Cai Yong nodded vigorously, "Liu Xiang's son Liu Xin, because he was dependent on Wang Mang, later tried to cling to prophecies and divination, and changed his name to the same as Shizu. He was killed for planning to kill Wang Mang. He was a relative of the Han Dynasty, but he was dependent on Wang Mang and later pursued his own independence, so this reputation..." Cai Yong smacked his lips and said that you understand, I won't say it, "Actually, Liu Xin is a erudite and knowledgeable person, especially for ancient classics. If it weren't for his compilation, ancient classics would not have been where he is today."

Liu Xiu was sorry for Liu Xin, it was a pity that he didn't care. What he cared about was what Cai Yong mentioned to him meant.

"The Book of Pillows" mentioned Mozi's Five Elements Technique, but Mozi's Five Elements Technique is not seen in the world. Then there is only one possibility. Mozi's Five Elements Technique has always been secretly in the hands of Liu Xin's descendants." Cai Yong turned his eyes to Liu Xiu: "Now you suddenly learned Mozi's Five Elements Technique, and your family disappeared at this time. What do you think others would think?"

"They said I am Liu Xin's descendant?" Liu Xiu immediately understood.

"This is possible." Cai Yong smiled slightly, "But you don't have to worry. Although Liu Xin has a bad reputation, she does not have any threat to this dynasty. Even if His Majesty knows, he will not have any thoughts."

Liu Xiu blinked: "But my Mozi Five Elements Technique is not inherited from the family."

"I know, Zhang Jiao told Your Majesty that he got it from that ring." Cai Yong continued, "It happened that the Book of Pillows also records a ring, saying that this ring has the ability to change the sky and the earth, and hides all the secrets between heaven and earth. Liu Xiang said this ring so magical, but he did not say what the ring looked like, and no one knew where the ring was. Later, I checked the records in the palace and found that there was a record of lost property on the account book of the Secretary's Pavilion, which was also a ring, which was neither gold nor copper, and had secret talismans inside, and no one could recognize it."

"Is this?" Liu Xiu took off his ring and handed it to Cai Yong. Cai Yong looked at it carefully for a moment, but still shook his head: "I don't know if it's this, but it looks very similar."

"You just said that this ring was seen on the palace lost property record?"

"Yes, this ring was secretly collected in the fourth year of Emperor Ming Yongping. Emperor Huan Yanxi disappeared before and after, and he was missing."

"In other words, this ring is likely to be a lost property in the palace?"

"It's very likely." Cai Yong said regretfully: "It's just that I haven't seen the specific record of the secret talisman. I don't know if the patterns in your ring are the secret talismans, otherwise I'll be sure."

Liu Xiu did not say anything anymore. If this ring was the relic of Liu Xin, and he was the descendant of Liu Xin, it seemed that it could explain his father's strange whereabouts and attitude. Liu Xiang, Liu Xin, was the fourth brother of Liu Bang and the descendant of Liu Jiao, the king of Yuan Dynasty of Chu. Liu Jiao was a special brother among Liu Bang. He was the illegitimate son of Liu Taigong and the only one among the Liu brothers who had studied. He was good at learning and was very smart. This can be seen from the academic achievements of Liu Xiang and his son. More importantly, the Chu State was later the main force of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. The third generation of Chu King Liu Wu and King Wu Liu Bi rebelled together. After being defeated by Zhou Yafu, he committed suicide. The position of King Chu was inherited by Liu Jiao's third son, but it was passed down to the eighth King of Chu, Liu Yanshou, who was the sixth-generation grandson of Liu Jiao, was killed and lost the position of King of Chu because he participated in the rebellion of King Liu Xu of Guangling.

Liu Xin is the fifth-generation grandson of Liu Jiao, and later became the main general of Wang Mang's plan to usurp the throne. Judging from these generations, it seems that Liu Jiao's branch has always had the gene of rebellion. Could it be that he has been lurking for more than a hundred years and now he feels that chaos is about to begin and is ready to jump out and make another move?

Liu Xiu looked at Cai Yong, then looked at the ring, guessing the emperor's meaning. Since the emperor already knew these situations, why didn't the emperor arrest him? Even if he didn't arrest him, he should be careful. He didn't believe that the emperor had such a big belly. When he handed the Changshui Camp to him, he arranged Liu Biao to be by his side, and later he planned to arrange Jian Shuo as the military supervisor. Now he knows that he is likely to be a descendant of Liu Xin's group, so how can he not move at all?

But this is hard to ask, and I won’t say it even after asking the emperor. The emperor may be looking at his performance, maybe setting up a plan, maybe he thinks he still has the value of exploitation for the time being, and he doesn’t want to attack him before he reveals his obvious anti-intention.

I have to ask my dad about this.
