Chapter 13 New Chang'an

In the face of the crying and pleading of their colleagues, no matter how embarrassed Fu Wan and Cai Yong were, no matter how much they hated Dong Zhuo, they had to agree and agreed to go to Chang'an to try to seize the auspicious rui of Shenguo and Shenmi in order to save the Han River. I didn't want the two to go home after discussing and said to their respective wives that they were going to Chang'an to see their daughters and 'sons-in-law', and the two wives actually applauded and agreed.

Cai Yong's wife, her finger was a little Cai Yong's head, "Old stubborn, you finally figured it out, and you are willing to go to your daughter and son-in-law, although our son-in-law is a little ugly, but he is a master of the court, the emperor's father and the person who commands the three states, holds a heavy army, and has the gift of heaven auspicious, the future is limitless, and he still loves our daughter so much, when the son-in-law is facing the south and sitting in the north that day, our family is not ......" Cai Yong's wife's rebellious words were not finished, Cai Yong quickly covered her mouth.

After the end of the wife, threw away the account book at home, "Okay, okay, you old fool has finally opened his mind, you see, a few servants escaped today, and then open up later, our family can't even eat, I'll go pack my luggage, tomorrow we will leave, go to Chang'an daughter to enjoy happiness." Fu Wan looked at his wife's back and shook his head and sighed.

Early the next morning, the two families packed up, took all the servants in the house, and drove a few broken carriages out of the city, Ma Ridan, Zhu Xi and Dong Cheng personally went outside the city to see them off, and Yuan Kui, who was arrogant and domineering in Luoyang recently, heard that they were going to see their daughter and son-in-law, and also accompanied the smiling face to see them off, nodded and said all the good things, and sent a generous gift, and sent a sergeant to protect Fu Wan and Cai Yong, although Fu Wan and Cai Yong didn't want to deal with Yuan Kui, but saw that the wives had already taken the gift with a high spirit, so they didn't say anything.

Needless to say, the two families slept in the open along the way, and they were also frightened, this year, the lives of the people in Luoyang have plummeted, and the big families of the scholar clan have been expropriating violently, and the losses of Dong Zhuo's control of Luoyang have been passed on to the people, resulting in the land being wasted, the people are not living, and many people have fallen into the grass for bandits, and thieves are rampant, and it is difficult for Yuan Kui to have a sergeant to protect them, otherwise it is really difficult for the two families to say whether they can reach Chang'an safely. And when Fu Wan and Cai Yong saw the scene of starving for thousands of miles and their bones exposed, they couldn't help but sigh, and secretly hated Dong Zhuo's looting of the Luoyang Mansion when he evacuated, which caused today's consequences.

On this day, the two families arrived at Tongguan, Fu Wan and Cai Yong immediately reported their names and the purpose of going to Chang'an to the sergeant guarding the pass, Xu Rong, who was guarding Tongguan, heard that it was Dong Lao's father-in-law and mother-in-law who came, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to greet him in person, "The last general Xu Rong has seen two adults and his wife. ”

After Fu Wan and Cai Yong hurriedly hugged their fists and returned the salute, their wives put on a lady's shelf, "No courtesy, General Xu, we went to Chang'an to visit our daughter this time, that is, your housewife, we have worked hard all the way, why don't General Xu arrange a house for us to rest?" ”

Xu Rong's face was embarrassed, and he bowed and saluted: "Two ladies, the Taishi has a military order, and only garrisons are allowed in Tongguan, and no guests are allowed, please forgive the two ladies." "After the last time Bishui Pass was lost, Kang Peng learned a lesson and specially added a military order to Xu Rong, allowing him to relieve the people, but not allowing the people to stay in Tongguan, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Fu Wan and Cai Yong's wife almost thought that they had heard it wrong, and when they arrived at the door of their son-in-law's house, they didn't even have a place to rest, forcing themselves to continue on their journey, so when they arrived at his house, there might be some 'hospitality'.

At this time, as soon as Xu Rong raised his hand, there were immediately soldiers who brought a few four-wheeled carriages, although they were not luxurious, but they were much stronger than the carriages of Cai and Fu, Xu Rong said: "Two adults, and two wives, the military order is difficult to disobey, please get in the car, the last general has prepared wine and food in the car, and then send three hundred soldiers to escort you to Chang'an." ”

Fu Wan and Cai Yong also said a few polite words to Xu Rong, their wives had already gotten into a carriage in a hurry, but as soon as they entered the carriage, their anger immediately disappeared, and there was a low table in the wide carriage of the four-wheeled carriage, which was full of sumptuous wine and food, and two delicate and beautiful maids, who helped them sit down with sweet mouths and hands, beat their backs and rubbed their legs, served tea and water, and served the two ladies comfortably. After Fu and Cai Yong got into the car, the two maids concocted the same method, coaxing the two old men very happy, and after a while, they became unscrupulous under the sweet words of the two maids.

After sending Fu Wan and Cai Yong and his party away, Xu Rong immediately returned to Guanshang, took an inch-long note and a quill pen, and wrote down a line of small characters, "On the tenth day of the first month of November, Cao Cao's army Guo Jia and Zaoyi, the imperial court Fu Wan and Cai Yong passed through Tongguan, and the swallow got on the car smoothly. The note was tied to the pigeon's feet and released, and the snow-white pigeon spread its wings and flew into the blue sky, disappearing in the direction of Chang'an from time to time.

Fu Wan and Cai Yong from Tongguan to Chang'an on the road is much more comfortable, the four-wheeled carriage is stable and comfortable so that they suffer less from bumps, the government and post stations that pass by on the road and I heard that it is Dong Taishi's father-in-law and mother-in-law who pass by, that there is no reason to take a big shot, every place, there are good houses to clean up for them to rest, good wine and food are sent to the room like a stream, and the officials along the way personally pick up and drop, compared to the distance between Luoyang and Tongguan, it is simply a world of difference.

Fu Wan and Cai Yong are not too people who pursue enjoyment, what makes them stunned is the change in the lives of the people of Yongzhou, they have been to Yongzhou before, know the situation in Yongzhou, the previous Yongzhou, the land is mostly barren, the people do not cover their bodies, they do not eat their stomachs, and the so-called scholars can only be regarded as small households in Luoyang, and they can't get on the stage at all. But now the situation is completely reversed, you can see new water conservancy facilities everywhere, irrigation fields, although the faces of the people of Yongzhou are not full of red light, but there is no longer the same kind of dishes as before, most of the people have a half-new clothes, those scholars and merchants are terrible, one by one wearing gold and jade, the whole body is silk and satin, the carriage they ride in is luxurious and luxurious, and the smell of nouveau riche is revealed between their gestures. Fu Wan and Cai Yong inquired about the Shilin students who came to visit them, only to learn that their son-in-law had changed his mind about Shilin since he returned to Chang'an, not only did not confiscate the land of the Shi clan, but helped the Shi clan to find tenant farmers to cultivate, relying on the money in their hands, and buying the grain in the hands of the Shi clan at a high price, sending troops to encircle and suppress thieves, and paying equal attention to Shi agriculture and industry, in just one year, Yongzhou's economic situation has improved significantly. Fu Wan and Cai Yong were amazed, and a thought faintly arose in their hearts, Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang last year, was he forced to quit or did he want to put aside the burden of the imperial court and the population of Luoyang? Or is there another reason?

When they arrived in Weinan, the post station sent a happy letter to Cai Yong and his wife, their daughter Cai Wenji had given birth to a grandson to them three days ago, named Dong Peng, Dong Taishi was extremely happy, and personally promised to establish Dong Peng as his son-in-law - that is, Dong Zhuojun's young master, Cai Yong and his wife also followed the rising tide, and the Weinan County Commander simply knelt to receive Cai Yong and his wife, which made Fu Wan's wife very jealous. Blood is thicker than water, no matter how much Cai Yong and his wife hate Dong Zhuo, but they really miss their grandson, and they don't rest overnight in Weinan, they rush overnight, day and night, and they just want to see their grandson earlier.

On November 28, Fu Wan and Cai Yong and his party finally arrived in Chang'an, Kang Peng personally took Fu Yu, Sima Yi and Dong Boss's two brothers to the ten miles outside Chang'an City to greet him, Kang Peng really pulled his face, and knelt down to Fu Wan and Cai Yong, who were a few years younger than him, and said: "The son-in-law has seen two fathers-in-law and two mothers-in-law. ”

After snorting heavily, Cai Yong turned his head to look elsewhere, Cai Yong didn't seem to hear it, lowered his head and said nothing, but his old face was red, and their wives were embarrassed to go up to pick him up, and the scene was cold for a while.

"I'm just old, I'm only eighteen years old, and I must make them recognize me as their son-in-law." Kang Peng said this to himself repeatedly in his heart, kneeling there just couldn't get up. At this time, Fu Yu had already cried and threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mother, my daughter misses you so much." ”

"My hard-working daughter, my mother misses you too." Fu Yu's mother also had tears on her face, stroking Fu Yu's hair and crying: "Daughter, you have lost a lot of weight, you must have suffered a lot." ”

Kang Peng knelt there and cursed in his heart, what do you mean, old woman? Suffer? Am I not going to feed your daughter or not to warm your daughter? Except for a few times when I forced her into bed, when did I treat her badly? Fortunately, Fu Yu did not wronged Kang Peng, Fu Yu glanced at Kang Peng, and said in a low voice: "Mother, he is very good to me, never beats me and scolds me, I just miss you, and I miss my father." ”

Fu Yu's mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried over there, and Cai Wenji's mother here couldn't help it, went up to help Kang Peng, and choked up: "Virtuous son-in-law, please, where is my daughter?" How is she doing now? ”

Kang Peng's legs were numb on his knees, so he got up from the donkey, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Wen Ji is fine, but it is inconvenient after giving birth, and she is waiting for you at home with your little grandson." Kang Peng turned around and asked someone to bring the horses, and asked the two fathers-in-law to get on the horses, so that the mother-in-law could get into the car, and then led them to Chang'an.

Fu Wan and Cai Yong kept their faces gloomy and silent at first, but when they saw Chang'an City, the two of them exclaimed in unison, "God, it's so majestic!" Is this Chang'an City? ”

The original Chang'an City, no more than ten miles long, only five miles wide, the city wall is no more than six zhang high, there is no urn city, acropolis, and Luoyang can only be regarded as a medium-sized city. And now Chang'an, there are already twelve city gate towers built of bluestone, distributed around the city. From the Yellow River in the north, to Jingxiu Mountain in the south, to the old pavilion in the east, to Xiaoling in the west, more than 30 miles long, 20 miles wide, and dredge the original old river channel, form a wide moat around the city, 12 bridges of all bluestone structure span the moat, communicate the connection inside and outside the city. Although the city wall surrounding the whole city, the watchtowers on the city wall, the urn city outside the city tower and the acropolis inside the city tower have not yet been built, only part of the prototype, but also dwarf Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

After Fu Wan and Cai Yong exclaimed, Cai Yong finally couldn't help but ask: "Tai ......, virtuous son-in-law, I know that Yongzhou is in a good situation this year, but you built such a big Chang'an City, is it a bit of a pursuit of enjoyment and vain?" ”

Fu Wan added, "Don't forget the lessons of King Xiu Lutai and the First Emperor Xiu Afang!" What a great achievement, wasted people's effort! ”

Kang Peng smiled, and said with a smug face: "Back to the two fathers-in-law, the son-in-law is not repairing to himself, last year with the son-in-law to Yongzhou outside the border disaster victims are more than 900,000 people, plus this year the people who fled to Chang'an, the foreign population is enough to have one million, fortunately this year, Yong, and the two states have good weather and rain, grain harvest, belong to the developed, food and clothing are not worried." Now in the off-season, they are idle, so they have to let them build Chang'an City bigger, and they will have houses to live in the coming year. ”

Cai Yong shook his head, "It's still too big, such a big city, even if all the people you brought live in houses, they can't live in such a big city?" ”

Kang Peng sneered, raised his head to the sky, as if muttering to himself, "I am not only repairing to the people of Chang'an, but also to the people of Luoyang who will flee to Chang'an in the future, at that time, they will know how stupid it is for them to drive me out of Luoyang!" ”

Fu Wan and Cai Yong were taken aback, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "According to what the virtuous son-in-law said, there will be great turmoil in Luoyang." ”

Kang Peng's face was calm, and he pointed to a group of people outside the city gate in the distance and said: "Father-in-law, that is a messenger sent by Cao Cao, one of them you know, and he also lived in Luoyang for a while, and his name was Long Yi at that time. ”

Cai Yong exclaimed: "Long Yi? That friend of Nakado? ”

Kang Peng nodded and smiled: "That's right, it's him, he also has a name named Guo Jia, his purpose of coming to Chang'an is the same as your father-in-law, if he can't achieve his goal, within three months, Cao Cao will march to Luoyang." ”
