As soon as the two left, an uninvited guest came to Cai's house.

After Zhong Yu and Wang Cang left, Cai Yong was not busy resting, but continued to discuss Lin Nan's "initiative" with Lin Nan Cai Yan.

The person who came was none other than the Yellow Gate Squire Xun You.

Xun You was originally a native of Yingyin, Yingchuan, known as a talent, after the general He Jin took charge, he recruited more than 20 famous people at home and abroad to enter the court as officials, and Xun You was one of them. After Xun You arrived in Luoyang, He Jin worshiped Xun You as the Huangmen squire, responsible for serving the emperor to convey the edict and other matters, and was one of the emperor's close ministers.

After Xun You arrived in Luoyang, he recommended Cai Yong, who lived in Jiangdong, to enter the court as an official, so Cai Yong was worshiped by He Jin as a speaker, and the main adviser dealt with other things. And Situ Yang Biao, Taifu Ma Yuebei, plus Xun You, and several others, have become friends with Cai Yong, and Wang Cang and Zhong Yu also often go in and out of Cai's mansion and insist on the gift of disciples.

After Cai Xun and the two greeted each other, Cai Yong introduced Lin Nan to Xun You.

Xun You had heard about Lin Nan recently, and after the ceremony, he couldn't help but be polite again, and Cai Yan heard that Xun You was coming, and knew that there was something to discuss, so he went back to the back hall.

Immediately, Xun You said with a straight face: "Will Cai Lao impeach the Ten Standing Servants tomorrow?"

At this time, Cai Yong suddenly realized, "Oh, I patronized and studied pinyin and rhythm with you, and I almost forgot about business." Then he said: "Of course, they must be impeached, otherwise, the Han is in danger." ”

Hearing Cai Yong say this, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Cai Lao can't be like this, today, Zhang Rang has already sued you in front of the emperor, and if you impeach him again tomorrow, I'm afraid the result will be unpredictable." Although Cai Lao is not worried about his career, he can't be a moth to the fire, so he should keep a useful body and continue to deal with it. ”

After listening to Xun You's words, Cai Yong didn't feel that he had fallen into deep thought, he had been impeaching Zhang Rang and his group for two days in a row, but the emperor ignored him like a ghost, it seems that it is difficult to do anything in the court.

After a while, Cai Yong said: "If not, you can't let them do whatever they want, otherwise, the Han Dynasty will be even more chaotic." ”

Xun You said: "Although this is the case, but we are really powerless, the general He Jin is helpless against the ten permanent servants, what can we do? For now, we can only wait for the opportunity, and at any time to advise the saint, hoping that one day the saint will wake up." After speaking, Xun You couldn't help but sigh.

Cai Yong also has nothing to say, it is true that he is just a small councilor, and the general He Jin can't let Zhang Rang do anything, what can he do? His daily advice is nothing more than fulfilling the responsibility of a councilor. Thinking of this, Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately, the two fell into a deep silence, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Lin Nan suddenly spoke: "Lord Xun thinks that the affairs of the court and the central government can be done?"

Hearing Lin Nan ask this, Xun You was stunned, and then looked at Lin Nan carefully, Cai Yong was also shocked, it was strange how Lin Nan would ask such a question.

Xun You thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to do." ”

Lin Nan laughed: "I didn't expect Lord Xun to be such a straightforward person, and Nan also thinks that things in the DPRK and China can't be done." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Cai Yong was secretly surprised: What these two people said was too direct, didn't this directly indicate that the emperor was mediocre? Therefore, Cai Yong immediately stopped: "Ziyang, don't talk nonsense, Gongda, you must be cautious." ”

Seeing the teacher's appearance, Lin Nan smiled slightly and said: "The teacher doesn't have to be like this, so late at night, Lord Xun dares to take the risk to visit the teacher, a sincere can show the world, what is the teacher not worried about? There are no outsiders today, we can be honest with each other." ”

Xun You also smiled and said: "Ziyang is really a person with a temperament, and I would like to hear about it." ”

Lin Nan said: "Today, the forces of the DPRK and China can be divided into three factions, namely: the Ten Standing Servants, He Jin and Shi Lin Zhongren. Among them, the ten permanent servants are the strongest, He Jin is in the middle, and Shilin is the weakest.

As we all know, His Majesty favored the eunuchs, and Zhang Rang was called 'Father', which can be seen. The government affairs of the court and the appointment and dismissal of officials must be approved by the 'father', which shows the great influence of his power. And those ten permanent servants and ten people are more traitorous than to bewitch the saints, and it is more difficult to bring them down than to ascend to the sky.

The general He Jin was noble because of his sister, although he was in charge of political affairs, he was born in a butcher and was despised by the people in Shilin. Therefore, as soon as He Jin came to power, he tried every means to win over the people of Shilin to strengthen his strength and increase his influence, but the people of Shilin still did not want to be with him. However, compared with Zhang Rang, He Jin is naturally much stronger, so the people in Shilin will stand with He Jin, but after all, they are in the same bed and have different dreams.

Although there are many people in the court, they are not monolithic, and there are not many people who are loyal to the country. In the face of Zhang Rang, He Jin still avoided it, what can the teacher do? In the past two days, Zhang Rang did not provoke, and the emperor ignored it, it was nothing more than taking into account the identity and face of the teacher, the emperor and the great Confucian, and besides, the teacher still had the support of He Jin and the people of Shilin behind him, so he didn't want to act rashly. If the teacher has insisted on impeaching the ten permanent servants, I am afraid that the teacher will not be as lucky as before, and he can leave Beijing to go to Liaodong, this time the teacher may have to worry about his life, and the people in Shilin may be uprooted. Since then, no one can sway Zhang Rang, and at that time, the court will be Zhang Rang's court.

Therefore, what Master Xun said is very good, and the teacher should not act rashly now, but bear the burden of humiliation and wait for the time. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's words, Xun You nodded again and again, and Cai Yong was noncommittal. After Lin Nan finished speaking, Xun You sighed and said: "I didn't expect Ziyang to also have deep insights into the affairs of the court, Ziyang is really a wise person. ”

Then Xun You said: "I heard that Ziyang wants to come to Luoyang to seek an official and go north to resist the Huns, I am very puzzled, what can be done in such a bitter cold place." Today, I finally know Ziyang's profound intentions and good intentions. ”

is worthy of Xun You, Lin Nan sighed in his heart: The top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period are amazing. As soon as you analyze the situation in Luoyang, people will think of your next step, draw inferences from one another, and see the subtleties, which is worthy of Wang Zuozhicai.

"Lord Xun has an overreputation, and this is a helpless move. Listening to Xun You's praise, Lin Nan hurriedly said modestly. "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is chaotic, if you stay in the DPRK, it may be difficult to make a difference, so Nam made this decision to go to a bitter cold place like Bingzhou, and put it to death and live later. ”

Cai Yong couldn't help but nod and said: "I didn't expect Ziyang's concerns to be so far-reaching, it seems that he was abrupt for his teacher." Since we have done nothing by staying in the DPRK, what are we still doing while staying in the DPRK? It is better to go to the border areas to benefit the people. ”

Hearing Cai Yong say this, Lin Nan hurriedly said: "The teacher's words are wrong, it is useless for us and other juniors to stay in the court, the teacher is a great Confucian in the sea, the leader of Shilin, and the emperor's teacher, how can he give up lightly?

And our juniors, we should go to the border to develop, establish meritorious service, after he has a lot of strength and fame, he can naturally echo each other with the teacher, so that the inside and outside of each other, then the court will be successful. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's analysis, Xun You didn't feel that the case was amazing, and praised it loudly. Immediately said: "Ziyang is talented, I might as well too." In this way, it will be possible to turn things around and revitalize the Han dynasty. ”

Cai Yong also twisted his beard and smiled, nodding in praise.

Seeing that the two were so excited, Lin Nan said helplessly: "It's just that in this way, without a year or two, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed." I just don't know what will happen to the court at that time. ”

"It's okay, I will definitely contact the other ministers to oppose the Ten Standing Servants together, and I will never let Zhang Rang cover the sky with one hand in the court. Seeing that Lin Nan was still a little worried, Cai Yong said confidently.

Xun You also said: "Although the emperor favors Zhang Rang, if Zhang Rang wants to monopolize the court, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Since both the teacher and Lord Xun are so determined, Nan is also relieved. ”

Immediately, the three of them talked about some other things, and seeing that it was too late, Xun You took his leave.

After sending Xun You away, Cai Yong and Lin Nan also went to rest.

Although it was late, neither of them felt sleepy.

Cai Yong wanted to build momentum for Lin Nan, so that Lin Nan could get an official position, in order to respond to his actions in the court, but Lin Nan was thinking about how to win over Xun You, it was best to let Xun You go to the state with him, he was a rare talent.

And Xun You didn't sleep well when he went back.

More than two years of Luoyang official palace life, so that Xun You, who was originally full of pride and ambition, has become a person who is at ease with his encounters, in more than two years, he feels the most is depressed and helpless, at the same time, his passionate heart, has also become calm and numb, however, the appearance of Lin Nan, so that his originally calm and somewhat numb inner world suddenly became noisy, it seems that his ambition began to slowly recover again, he is looking for his true self.

In this way, the three of them spent a sleepless night.

The next day, after Lin Nan got up early, he found that it was already three poles in the morning.

In this regard, Lin Nan was very angry and reproached Guan Hai: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier, how does this make the teacher look at me and let everyone look at me?"

Guan Hai hurriedly replied: "I was worried that the young master wouldn't sleep well, so I didn't ask the young master to get up, and Master Cai also said that there was no need to wake you up." ”

Lin Nan thought about it, what Guan Hai said was also reasonable, and then instructed Guan Hai: "No matter what the situation is in the future, you have to wake me up every morning, you know?"

Seeing Lin Nan's ugly face, Guan Hai had no choice but to agree.

After hurriedly washing up, Lin Nan went straight to the hall, and when he arrived at the hall, he saw that Cai Yan was the only one there, tilting his head to study pinyin.

It turned out that seeing that Lin Nan couldn't afford to be late, the people in Chen Palace began to "patrol" on the streets again.

Seeing that Lin Nancai got up, Cai Yan sneered: "Brother Ziyang just got up, it's really embarrassing, if it gets out, how can I go out in the future." After saying that, he kept laughing again.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to say: "Leisurely, tossing and turning, so I haven't slept all night and haven't gotten up for a long time." ”

"Oh, which fair lady is it, let Brother Ziyang 'can't ask for it, and he can't think about it'?" Cai Yanjiao asked with a smile.

"Hehe, far away in the sky, close in front of you, doesn't my sister know?"

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Cai Yan immediately said with a straight face: "Brother Ziyang, don't laugh like this. ”

Seeing that Cai Yan's expression was wrong, Lin Nan suddenly realized, knowing that he couldn't be so frivolous in this era, and suddenly turned to say: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want?" Nan didn't say jokes, nor teasing words, but just told each other frankly, how could my sister say that?"

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Cai Yan was speechless, but his heartbeat increased significantly.

At this time, I saw a member of the Cai family hurriedly running inside, followed by two forbidden soldiers, only to hear the two forbidden soldiers shouting: "Where is Lin Ziyang in Linnan, Liaodong? ”

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was very strange: "For no reason, what did the emperor tell me to do? Is my name really so loud? As soon as I arrived in Luoyang, the emperor was anxious to see me?"

Thinking about it, Lin Nan still stepped forward and replied, "Down there is Lin Ziyang." ”

The two forbidden soldiers couldn't say anything, so they stepped forward and walked with Lin Nan away, saying as they walked: "You are the best, and you save us from looking around, the emperor is still in a hurry to ask for someone." ”

Seeing this scene, several members of the Cai family were more panicked, they didn't know what to do, and they thought they were going to cut off their heads, but Cai Yan shouted with a smile: "Brother Ziyang, don't worry, it's a good thing." ”

This made Lin Nan even more depressed, and wondered in his heart: "What good thing can fall on me, I can't imagine that I just arrived in Luoyang, and I am going to see the emperor so soon, I am not ready, what can I say when I see the emperor?"

It turned out that as soon as the early dynasty was made today, Cai Yong presented the Chinese pinyin invented by Lin Nan to the emperor.

This made Zhang Rang very depressed, and thought: "Old thing, I've put up with you for two days, and I can't imagine that you still want to impeach me today." It seems that it is not possible not to tear the face. ”

Of course, among the ministers, who have a good relationship with Cai Yong, are also sweating for Cai Yong, everyone feels that Cai Yong is not worth it, and there is no need to fight Zhang Rang to the end.

Just when Zhang Rang hated in his heart, and when the ministers were worried, Emperor Han Ling actually slapped the dragon case hard and shouted: "Good! wonderful!"

As soon as the ministers heard the emperor's "yes", they knew that Lao Caitou was fine, and they were relieved. As soon as Zhang Rang heard about this "good", his mood was extremely bad, and he knew that things were going to be bad, so he hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the old slave, Cai Yong has repeatedly framed the old slave, in fact, he is jealous that the emperor is too close to the old slave." The emperor Mingjian, the old slave's loyalty to the Han can be revealed, and he begs the emperor to be the master of the old slave. As he spoke, Zhang Rang burst into tears.
