Chapter 62: Great scholar Cui Xuan

Chapter 62

Chu Hechao sent Yang Zhongfa and He Lang to search for two months in Youzhou, looking for many local great scholars, and finally selected the most suitable one among them.

Cui Xuan, whose courtesy name is Xiaocheng, is from Changping County, Guangyang County, Youzhou, and is now 67 years old. He is the son-in-law of the famous general Guan Yi. He was very famous when he was young. He had refused many imperial court recruitments and became famous in Youzhou. After he entered the officialdom, he was exiled for offending the eunuchs. His friends and students kept pleading for him, and he was finally exempted from the crime during exile. Since then, Cui Xuan has never entered the court again. He only focused on annotating books and teaching.

Cui Xuan is very famous. He can be regarded as the teacher of many great scholars of the time, and he is regarded as the ancestor of great scholars.

It is worth mentioning that Yuanli's teacher Ouyang Ting had also received guidance from Cui Xuan.

After knowing that Chu Hechao took him to visit this person, Yuanli was shocked. They rode their horses to Changping County. On the way, Yuanli drove his horse side by side with Chu Hechao and asked, "General, why are you taking me to see Cui Xuan?"

Chu Hechao said, "What did you say?"

The wind was too strong when he was driving the horse. It was not known whether he really did not hear or did not want to answer. Yuanli coughed and raised his voice, "I ask you, why are you taking me to see Cui Xuan?"

Chu Hechao looked ahead and answered this time, "On the day of your crown, you need a great scholar to crown you and give you a name."

If Cui Xuan could crown Yuanli and give him a name, Yuanli would be famous in Youzhou and the surrounding Yi and Bing states.

In fact, even without Cui Xuan's blessing, Yuanli had gradually gained a high reputation in several surrounding states.

Especially after he helped Chu Hechao kill the leader of the Xiongnu and continuously sent troops to suppress the bandits in Youzhou, his prestige grew rapidly.

However, the fame that Cui Xuan could bring to Yuanli was different from the fame that Yuanli had accumulated himself. Cui Xuan targeted the scholar class and could make the name of Yuanli's famous scholars spread more widely.

Without his father, teacher or other elders around, it would be good for Yuanli's future to have such a local scholar preside over the ceremony of crowning Yuanli.

Yuanli blinked and said in surprise: "Have you been busy with this for the past two months?"

"You think too much," Chu Hechao said with a hard face, "Is this little thing worth my two months of busy work? It's just a matter of convenience."

After saying that, he suddenly increased his speed and surpassed Yuanli.

Yuanli turned his face away to avoid the mud and sand raised by the horse's hooves. The competitive spirit rushed up all of a sudden. He whipped his whip and also accelerated to catch up with Chu Hechao. He said in the same calm tone as Chu Hechao: "Since the general just did it by convenience, I won't thank you much. After all, it's just a small matter."

After saying that, Yuanli turned his head and smiled politely at Chu Hechao, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and surpassed Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao clenched the whip and squinted at his back, "..."

The little sister-in-law was wearing a tight outfit, which outlined her figure, and her waist with a dagger tied to it was slender.

He breathed a little faster, and immediately turned his eyes away, with his cold and hard lips tightly pursed. After a few moments, he suddenly raised the whip and wanted to rush in front of Yuanli.
