"I don't really know the specific situation, but I know some of the situation in general." Liu Xian quickly read some historical records about Cai Yong in his mind, and then sighed and said: "Alas, in the court now, there are really not many courtiers with erudite knowledge and integrity like Lord Cai, but it is a pity that talents like Lord Cai cannot be tolerated by the Han court, which is really the misfortune of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Lord Cai's situation is nothing more than offending some courtiers of the court, and he was falsely accused by villains, but the saints did not notice it, resulting in Lord Cai being exiled for many years. That's it, but there have always been people who have a deep grudge against Lord Cai, so much so that over the years, they have always wanted to put Lord Cai to death, and even did not hesitate to send dead assassins to assassinate Lord Cai. I think, this time Lord Cai had to leave Wu Land and come to Jizhou, a war-prone place, to avoid trouble, it is estimated that those people knew Lord Cai's hiding place, so that Lord Cai had to avoid it, right? ”

"Uh...... In the basic words you said, the same is true of the factual speech. Cai Yong looked at Liu Xian a little unnaturally, nodded and admitted that what Liu Xian said was basically true.

Liu Xian really felt a little pity for Cai Yong at this time, when Cai Yong was exiled, he was already a court councilor, and his career was bright. In fact, today's saints are not really useless, in fact, Cai Yong is quite important.

Cai Yong's exile is indeed a fault that today's saints do not notice, but in fact, it was actually because Cai Yong offended too many people in the court at that time, so that he suffered too much jealousy, which led to many eunuchs and ministers in the court at that time to retaliate against him.

These are also the reasons why Cai Yong is too loyal and outspoken.

At that time, the emperor also trusted Cai Yong very much, and especially valued Cai Yong's scriptures, but Cai Yong played impeachment, directly stated that women and eunuchs interfered in political affairs, and also impeached the then Taiwei Zhang Hao, Guanglu Xun Weizhang, Changshui Captain Zhao Xuan, Tunqi Captain Gai Sheng and others for corruption and perversion of the law.

Let's see, who is Cai Yong offended? Women, eunuchs? This is the truth, isn't the authority of the Han court always held by relatives and eunuchs? And Taiwei, the head of the three princes of the imperial court, can be regarded as the powerful minister among the ministers, so to speak, Cai Yong really offended his relatives, eunuchs, and ministers all at once, not to mention that Cai Yong had already offended other courtiers.

Really, Cai Yong is still alive now, which is already a miracle.

Of course, the powerful ministers who Cai Yong had sinned against at the beginning have now passed after so many years, and now they may have withdrawn from the stage of the court and no longer hold the authority of the court, and some may still be down. However, no matter what, it is still okay for those people to deal with Cai Yong. Even the assassins were sent to kill Cai Yong, if it wasn't for Cai Yong hiding in Wudi, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

"Lord Cai, if that's the case, then Lord Cai, there's no need for you to hide from anything at all. To be honest, I have great admiration for Lord Cai, I admire the talents of adults, and I really don't want to waste my years in hiding in Tibet. As for those who want to harm adults, they are all small people, and Liu Xian is confident that he can provide a safe and reliable shelter for Lord Cai. There, Lord Cai didn't pay attention to those Xiaoxiao at all, if those Xiaoxiao dared to come, Liu Xian would definitely teach them that if they came and went, they would definitely be able to keep Master Cai's safety. ”

Liu Xian knew that such a promise alone might not make Cai Yong feel at ease, but he at least gave him an attitude first, so that Cai Yong knew that now that we know your situation, we are not afraid of those eunuchs and ministers, and we are not afraid that they will send someone to assassinate you. We have the power to protect you.

Liu Xian continued to reveal some things to Cai Yong, and said, "Lord Cai, I know that you may not know the bottom of your heart with such empty words. Let me tell you a little bit about me right now. ”

"I am in Liufu in Liulin Village, and I have established a caravan of Liufu, and this caravan is now guarded by at least a thousand caravans. However, these are only superficial centaurs. In fact, now my Liulin Village is recruiting some homeless homeless people to settle down. This is not only Liulin Village, even Yangshi County is the same. Now the Yellow Turban Riots have been put down. But this pacification is only relative, in fact, in Jizhou, there are hundreds of thousands, even millions, of Yellow Turban thieves. These thieves may also threaten the security of some county towns at any time. Therefore, I plan to consolidate Yang's County and build another city in Liulin Village, mainly to guard against the invasion of thieves. Therefore, please Lord Cai, you go to Yangshi County to Liulin Village, at least in this safety, there is still a guarantee. ”

"The Liu Mansion Caravan is just the Liu Mansion Caravan. On the government side of Yangshi County, there are still many officers and soldiers, and when necessary, they can also recruit more young and strong soldiers to resist the Yellow Turban bandits. We are not doing this for ourselves, but just to protect the territory and the people. After all, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to be stationed for a long time, and a large number of officers and soldiers are there to guard against the invasion of thieves. So, sometimes, it's up to us. ”

"I told Lord Cai this because I wanted to tell Lord Cai. Now the situation in Yangshi County and Liulin Village is special. It can even be said that there are some special situations in the whole Jizhou. Now I have someone in my hands who can save the life of Lord Cai's family, those eunuchs and courtiers, they don't work with us, they can't control my head. Who I Liu Xian want to protect, I don't need to look at their faces. As for them directly sending people to kill Lord Cai, it is even more impossible. We Liu Xian are not even afraid of those Yellow Turban thieves, and will we be afraid of some of their assassins? ”

Liu Xian tried his best to explain to Cai Yong that he had the ability to protect him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to reveal some of his details to him.

Of course, it is nothing to reveal these to Cai Yong, after all, he has a caravan of Liu Mansion in name. What's more, he is still a clan member of the Han family, and now he still has the name of the young master of the Plains Palace. They have the power to influence some local counties.

Like reinforcing the city wall of Yangshi County, etc., these are all within the normal range, and the construction of Liulin Village will not be a secret soon, after all, this must also be reported to Julu County.

The construction of this Liulin Village is the same as that of ordinary villages, all of which are to guard against the invasion of low-resistance thieves, which are reasonable and legal, and will not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, nor will people feel or see Liu Xian's ambitions, at least not for the time being.

Cai Yong was naturally moved when he heard it.

One, he was indeed tired of the days when he took his family and his mouth to hide in Tibet to escape the persecution of the enemy. It's okay, who wants to wander around and live without a fixed place?

Second, he really wants to be able to do some learning quietly, Liu Xian asked him to be the dean of Liufu Academy, which is naturally the best. Teaching students is what he wants to do.

And then there is the strength that Liu Xian is talking about to him. There are thousands of caravan guards under his command, which can indeed deter those small people, and ordinary people dare not provoke them easily. Listening to what Liu Xian said again, his relationship with the Yang County government is not simple, which is equivalent to the protection of the government. Besides, he understands very well that if Liu Xian's Liulin Village is built as a city, then this city is estimated to be equivalent to all of Liu Xian's private cities. In such a private city, he really didn't have to worry about his own safety.

However, he has one last concern.

He thought for a while, and said worriedly to Liu Xian: "Virtuous nephew, after listening to what you said, the old man believes that you can indeed ensure the safety of the old man's family." And the old man is indeed a little tempted by the Liu Fu College you proposed, after all, being able to become the dean of a college is also an honor for Cai, and it can even be said to be an affirmation of Cai's learning. However, since he has spoken it, the old man also wants to make it clear. ”

Liu Xian knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly said: "This is natural, if Lord Cai has any concerns, just say it." ”

"There are two main ones." Cai Yong said with a solemn face: "One, virtuous nephew, you have to think clearly, the old man is a sinner who has been exiled by the current saint, and now you invite the old man to be the dean of Liufu Academy, this matter will definitely be reported to the court by someone with a heart." It is conceivable that at that time, some people in the court who have a grudge against the old man will definitely attack the old man vigorously, and if this one is not good, it is very likely to affect you. In this way, do you still dare to take in the old man? ”

"Another ...... How do you say this? Virtuous nephew, I shouldn't have said this, but I can't help but want to mention it to you. As for you, you were originally a member of the Han family, and you did great things in Liulin Village that were beneficial to the court and the people. It can be said that if you have the heart to enter the career, it can be said that the future is limitless. You don't need to take the Plains Mansion here anymore, and you don't need to have anything to do with the Ma Guiren. You must know that the Plains Mansion is indeed extremely delicate in today's Han Dynasty, if there is no change in the Plains Palace, maybe it will be so quiet, and the world will no longer remember that there is such a place. However, now you have a relationship with Ma Guiren and have become the young master of the Plains Palace. This, I'm afraid you will be in trouble in the future, it is estimated that there will be constant trouble, and if one is not good, you will suffer a catastrophe. ”

"Cai told you this, he really regarded you as a junior, if Cai became the dean of your Liufu Academy again, I am afraid that some of the contradictions will be intensified, and it will bring you even greater disasters."

Cai Yong really had some confidence in Liu Xian at this time.

Although Cai Yong was an upright official and dared to speak out, he almost offended the courtiers of the entire Han Dynasty for this. However, this does not mean that he does not have a certain political vision.

In his heart, he was well aware of the particularity of the Plains Palace.

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, if they are really clear, in fact, the current emperor does not allow any existence that threatens to consolidate his throne.

The current emperor's throne is because the first emperor has no later to get him. No matter what the reason is, if the first emperor's lineage, including those brothers of the first emperor, if there is a queen, then he will not sit very securely as the emperor.

Liu Xian's identity is indeed a bit special. If Liu Xian is not a relative of the Han family, then it will not be anything to recognize Ma Guiren as his stepmother, because it is a big deal to secretly kill him. Even if he doesn't die, such a person of unknown origin, the righteous son of a mere Ma nobleman, can't threaten the stability of the throne. Because no matter what, this throne has nothing to do with the righteous son of Ma Guiren. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and it was absolutely impossible for someone who was not from the Liu royal family to spy on the throne.

But Liu Xian himself is a relative of the Han family, and this identity is coupled with the relationship between the Plains Palace, so it is not so simple.

Let's put it this way, what if the current emperor is a hundred years later, and his prince also has some accidents? This is not without purpose, and the current emperor only has two princes. At the beginning, he could kill hundreds of Liu Kui's children at one time, so people couldn't kill your two sons?

Once there is no queen, then when it comes to the proximity of the royal bloodline, then the young master of the plain palace will have a chance.

After all, Cai Yong is an official in the imperial court and knows the taboo in this regard.

He is not worried about his own safety now, but he is a little worried about Liu Xian.

And what he said, Liu Xian didn't think about it, after all, the Manchu Dynasty was a traitor, and he didn't know when he would be put on the table.

But so what? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if those traitors think that they can put themselves to death with a holy decree, then they are wrong.

Liu Xian can also imagine that those traitors will at most send people to falsely preach the holy decree, accuse themselves of something, and want to put themselves in prison or something.

But Liu Xian already had his own idea, no matter what he was, he wouldn't pay attention to it, let alone send someone to deliver the holy decree, even if he sent a military horse to arrest him, Liu Xian would not easily comply.

Now that Liulin Village and Yangshi County are under their control, there will be more county seats in the future, who will dare to deal with them? I'm afraid they can't get in and out. As long as he instigates a little, tens of thousands of people, or even more people, stand up, even the imperial court has to think carefully about whether to condemn himself.

If this people's will is used well, it is their greatest protection. You don't need to send your own men to level them.

However, Liu Xian naturally couldn't tell Cai Yong like this, and he didn't want Cai Yong to know his ambition to be self-reliant for the time being.

Liu Xian thought for a while and said to Cai Yong: "Lord Cai is too worried. Let's put it this way, Liu has no intention of pursuing a career, so he will not worry about the attack of traitors in the DPRK and China at all. Another one, Liu is just a legitimate businessman, and he is dedicated to doing good deeds, and everything he is doing now is to let more people live and live better. If this is the case, the court is not aware of it, and if it has to deal with me, then I have nothing to say. However, I believe that if I am an upright person, my husband stands in the world, stands up to the heavens and the earth, and if some traitors dare to come and murder me, then I have to ask if the sword in my hand agrees. For those traitors, I can't wait to kill them with one sword. Lord Cai is just avoiding, but I, Liu Xian, for those traitors, am killed! ”

At this time, Liu Xian appropriately showed some of his unyielding strength.
