Chapter 1096

The fortress was built on a piece of land that Duan Yu had bought outside Luoyangcheng before.

Besides the fortress, Duan Yu's assets in Luoyang were far more than that.

Just inside and outside Luoyangcheng, there were dozens of shops.

They were all shops used to sell white paper, snow salt, and silk.

These were all purchased by Zhen Jiang through Jia Dong one after another.

There were also some intelligence transfer stations needed for the Military Intelligence Department to transmit information.

Anyway, Duan Yu himself didn't know exactly how many there were now.

After waiting for a while in the martial arts arena of the fortress, Duan Yu saw Liu Bian, wearing crooked armor, walking over with a long sword.

After seeing Duan Yu, Liu Bian clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Duan Yu: "Master."

Hmm?

Duan Yu was stunned: "What did Your Highness call me?"

"Master." Liu Bian confirmed again.

Duan Yu suddenly laughed.

Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, Master.

Heaven: Symbolizes natural laws and cosmic order, representing supreme power.

Earth: Refers to the foundation of the material world, carrying the growth of all things, reflecting dependence on and gratitude for natural resources.

The Huaxia nation was a farming nation, and crops had always depended on the weather of heaven and earth, so whether it was the common people or imperial relatives and nobles, they all had to worship heaven and respect the earth. This was the foundation of people's livelihood.

Besides heaven and earth.

Sovereign: Refers to the country and the monarch, symbolizing social order and governance authority.

And Kin: Namely parents and ancestors, representing blood kinship and family continuation, requiring filial piety to parents and respect for elders, and inheriting family ethics.

The last one was Master.

But Master was divided into two types.

A teacher (laoshi) is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. In terms of relationship ties, a teacher is more of a profession. Of course, this specific relationship also depends on the student.

But a Master (Master) is different.

A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father.

A Master is a kind of inheritance, a kind of continuation, a kind of extremely important relationship tie.

Liu Bian used the word Master (Master), not teacher (laoshi).

"Then what does Your Highness want to learn from your subject?" Duan Yu looked at Liu Bian and asked.

It was cold in the early morning, and Liu Bian, who was only wearing a black robe and armor outside, was still very cold.

After sniffing, Liu Bian looked at Duan Yu and said: "Master, the disciple wants to learn from Master how to become a strong person, a strong person who grinds forward even with tears in his eyes."

"Haha!"

Duan Yu laughed loudly: "Good."

Duan Yu looked at Liu Bian and said: "But a strong person is not so easy to be. As a strong person, one must first have a strong physique."

"Any foundation is built on the premise of a strong physique."

"Since you want to be a strong person, you must start from the most basic exercise of your body."

"Come on, draw your sword now."

Nangong, Jiade Hall.

In the spacious hall, Yuan Kui, wearing vermilion court robes, was holding a bamboo slip.

He was reciting loudly under the hall.

"Cangjie created writing to teach descendants. The young son receives the edict, cautious and respectful..."

And Liu Xie, sitting behind the dragon desk, was holding a brush, bowing over the desk, writing crookedly on white paper.

Empress Dowager Dong was kneeling on the side, looking at Liu Xie with eyes full of doting.

Just when Yuan Kui was teaching the enlightenment reading material "Cangjie Pian".

A rush of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Jian Shuo walked into the hall with an ugly face.

"Empress Dowager, this general has important matters to report," Jian Shuo said loudly.

Yuan Kui, who was teaching Liu Xie "Cangjie Pian", looked up, glanced at Jian Shuo quietly, and then turned to pay respects to Empress Dowager Dong.

"Empress Dowager, this old minister will teach until here today," Yuan Kui said.

Empress Dowager Dong nodded slightly: "Grand Tutor has worked hard."

"Crown Prince, bid farewell to the Grand Tutor."

Little Liu Xie, kneeling behind the dragon desk, stood up and clasped his hands to Yuan Kui: "Teacher has worked hard."

Yuan Kui returned the salute again, then turned and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Speak, what's the matter."

Empress Dowager Dong picked up the teacup placed on the side and took a light sip.

Seeing Yuan Kui leave, Jian Shuo said in a panic: "Reporting to Empress Dowager... Shi Hou... Shi Hou has gone missing." ===== CHAPTER 1098 =====
