Chapter 49: Cai Yong's Birthday
Time flies, and the years are merciless. Wen Han has been in Luoyang for a month, and this time has been very chic. In the morning, he practiced with Guan Yu and Xu Huang and learned martial arts. Although his martial arts are average, he is better at hard work, and his martial arts have also grown a lot. At noon, he played this dragon play with Cao Cao and He Jin, exchanged feelings, and dined at the General's Mansion in the evening, drinking and enjoying joy. After returning home, it was rare to be free, so I accompanied Xiao Yuhan and told some stories of later generations.
Xiao Yuhan is very well-behaved, and usually cleans up the room for Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang. Seeing this, Wen Han asked her why she didn't let the Cao Mansion do it. Xiao Yuhan said with a smile, Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang, the big brothers, are immortals sent by God. Her life is good, and she is favored by God, but she can't forget the pain of the past. Her mother once told her that people must have value in the world, and if they don't, they will be abandoned. Xiao Yuhan was afraid that Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang would not want her one day, so she had to start learning to do things and do what she could.
Wen Han sighed that this chaotic world actually forced an eight-year-old girl to understand the truth of thirty people.
Nothing happened, and a few more days passed. In the General's Mansion, Wen Han and Cao Cao were playing chess, but the two were obviously not on the chess game, they were waiting for He Jin to come back. Because, today, He Jin made an appointment with Emperor Han Ling through Empress He, and in He Jin's grassland, he officially recommended the Dragon Play Pearl to Emperor Han Ling.
For this matter, He Jin made a lot of efforts, not only ordered heavy troops to guard the outside of the city, but also to ensure that no one could approach within a radius of ten miles. To prevent some criminals from approaching this meadow. Moreover, the identity and whereabouts of Emperor Ling of Han should be kept secret. Emperor Han Ling left the palace, but it was a big event, as the king of a dynasty, he made a little mistake, and He Jin couldn't afford it.
He had been in for about three hours, almost half a day. Wen Han and Cao Cao were restless, irritable in their hearts, although Luoyang is the capital, there are still many homeless people outside the city, I am afraid that something will happen.
"Hahaha. Great joy, great joy. ”
Suddenly, He Jin's rough laughter came from outside the door. As soon as He Jin got out of the carriage and walked into the door, he saw Wen Han and Cao Cao running towards him, and the two of them looked anxious, looking anxious to know Emperor Han Ling's reaction to the dragon play beads.
He Jin was so happy that his eyes were smiling, and he told Wen Han and Cao Cao about today's appointment with Emperor Han Ling. At the beginning, when Emperor Ling of Han heard his name, he was very interested. The dragon plays with the pearl, isn't this dragon a metaphor for his identity. Later, seeing that its gameplay was fresh, he asked He Jin for advice. He Jin demonstrated for a while and taught Emperor Han Ling how to play, Emperor Han Ling was very interested, and he didn't know the time when he played, if it weren't for the eunuch 'Zhang Rang' beside him, he urged Emperor Han Ling to pay attention to safety and go back to the palace. Emperor Han Ling was really reluctant to leave. However, Emperor Han Ling left greatly appreciating He Jin.
It is said that this dragon play bead is not only interesting but also can strengthen the body, which is a great interesting thing. He Jin hurriedly patted his ass, saying that he knew that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had been unwell with the dragon in recent years and was often sick, so he thought about it day and night, and found a plaything that was both interesting and strong to dedicate to the saint, so that the dragon body would be safe, which was the blessing of the world.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard this, not only rewarded He Jin with silver taels and silk, but also secretly gave a lot of power to He Jin, which expanded He Jin's scope of power a lot. Moreover, it is implied that He Jin entered the palace more than he could, and was close to Emperor Ling of Han. Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty made He enter the palace and let people build a stadium called 'Imperial Pearl Garden', so that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty specially used it to play with this dragon play bead.
After Wen Han and Cao Cao heard this, they were also quite happy and said hello to He Jin. A few people chatted as they entered the mansion. After talking for a while, He Jin seemed to remember something and looked at Wen Han.
"In a few days will be Cai Zhonglang's birthday. At that time, as long as there is some status in Luoyang, they will go to Caifu to participate in the banquet. This Cai Zhonglang loves to do literature the most, and there will be some problems when the time comes. I heard Meng De say, you are an extraordinary person with a talent for poetry, and I have also heard your poems, which can be called masterpieces.
At that time, you will go to the banquet with Meng De and me, and I will introduce you to you, so that I can get to know the big people in Luoyang. Maybe, it can be a blockbuster, make a name for yourself in this Luoyang City, and fight for me. Those literati often looked down on me, saying that I was lowly educated, and could only deal with important matters in the army, and if I interfered in political affairs, it would only be self-defeating. ”
He Jin seemed to think of Cai Yong, Wang Yun, and Yang Biao on weekdays, using some incomprehensible words, scolding himself in circles, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"General He's order, how dare Xiaosheng disobey. The general will wait and see, and then Xiaosheng will give the general a breath of air! ”
Wen Han bowed his hand, his face was calm, and he looked confident. In my heart, no matter how high the knowledge of those literati is, can it be compared to the five thousand years of knowledge that they are familiar with. Dissertation, I'm a traverser, who am I afraid of!
On the day of Cai Yong's birthday, Cai's mansion was lit up with lights, and the cars and horses at the door were endless, so it was not lively. The people who came over were all famous scholars in Luoyang City and some bureaucrats.
At this moment, an extravagant carriage, drawn by seven horses, approached and blocked the entire avenue. However, the people who came from behind did not dare to urge in the slightest. This carriage is in Luoyang City, who doesn't know who doesn't know, but it is the special car of the famous general 'He Jin'. Now in Luoyang City, except for the true dragon in the palace, no one has a greater power than him, and everyone needs to give it seven points!
Wang Yun and his friend Yang Biao just got off the carriage together, and when they saw that the seven-horse carriage was coming, Wang Yun's face changed, and he flicked his sleeves and said to Yang Biao: "Why is this butcher here, he has no ink in his stomach, and he dares to come over to offer ugliness." It's really annoying to make this elegant banquet unbearable! ”
"Master, you're here again. This He butcher, although he is from a poor family, is different from people from our wealthy families. But his sister married to the saint and sat on the throne of the queen, so she was a relative of the emperor. Thou shalt also put aside thy prejudices and be more intimate with this butcher. Otherwise, it will only speed up the heart of the ten permanent servants. ”
"Hmph. Actually, I don't care too much about the portal. It's just that this butcher has never read the books of sages, doesn't understand the principles of the world, is short-sighted, and wants to get involved in government politics. This is intolerable to our people. As long as he doesn't put his mind right for a day, I will be inseparable from him! ”
"Huh. That's it, as if I never said it. Take a seat, then Cai Feibai is afraid that he is in a hurry. ”
Yang Biao knew that Wang Yun cared very much about the portal, and he didn't bother to persuade again, so he pulled Wang Yun into Cai's mansion. Later, He Jin came to the door in the carriage, and He Jin got out of the carriage first with a big grin, followed by Wen Han and Cao Cao. When Cai's subordinates saw He Jin, they hurriedly returned to the house to report to Cai Yong. He Jin's status is noble, and according to the number of courtesies, Cai Yong should come out to greet him.
"Hey, no need! He went in directly, no need to report. ”
He Jin stopped the people of Cai's mansion because of his loud voice, and his voice was like thunder. Suddenly it sounded throughout the Cai Mansion, and the Cai Mansion suddenly quieted down, and the sergeants in the mansion were originally talking about literature and reasoning, but they all stopped talking and looked out of the door.
"This butcher is really, how many times have I said it. I just can't change my voice. ”
Cai Yong, who was greeting guests in the backyard, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard He Jin's voice. confessed his sin, resigned from the guest, and came out to greet He Jin.
"General He, coming to attend the old man's birthday banquet really makes the humble house shine. Oh, Cao Mengderu is also here, and there is a new face. ”
"Of course, students have to come to the teacher's birthday party. This is a student friend, Wen Han, Wen Bufan. He is now a staff member in General He's mansion. ”
Cao Cao gave a salute to Cai Yong, he had studied with Cai Yong for a period of time, and he had a deep relationship with Cai Yong. Cai Yong nodded, as a return salute, and looked at Wen Han again, seeing that he was young, but his bearing was extraordinary, his expression was leisurely, not impatient, and his face was dignified. Secretly said in my heart. What a handsome boy.
Suddenly, Cai Yong seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up: "Oh." Could it be that the poem of the Moon Tower is written by Wen Bufan, although this poem offends the powerful and wealthy, but its artistic conception is extraordinary, I love it very much, I have inquired about people, the whereabouts of its author, but the news is that he is crazy. ”
Wen Han smiled, and Shi Li said: "The poem of the Moon Tower is Xiaosheng. As for the rumors that Xiaosheng is crazy, it's just a rumor. Maybe Xiaosheng offended the powerful and wealthy, and was regarded by the world as talking crazy, and his head was not awake. ”
"Hey. Thou hast the real material, how can thou shalt speak madly. Don't be presumptuous, these people's heads are even more muddy than yours. Thinking about some things that are not bright all day long, and not caring about political affairs, the old man sees them as more suitable for the name of madmen. ”
Cai Yong seems to admire Wen Han very much, and he has no gateway view, and he is very affectionate to Wen Han. This made the surrounding scholars couldn't help but be surprised, most of the people who could be appreciated by Cai Feibai would not be far behind.
After that, Cai Yong took the lead and brought He Jin, Cao Cao, and Wen Han into the mansion and entered a seat. This seat is in a superior position, and because He Jin's identity is there, everyone is not dissatisfied.
In the seat next to He Jin, most of the people sitting were literary heroes of the dynasty, first-hand in the political arena, and old heroes in the army. They are Situ Wang Yun and Wang Zishi. Jing Zhao Yin Yang Biao, Yang Wenxian. Beizhong Lang will Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan. The right middle lang will be Zhu Jun, Zhu Gongwei. Zhonglang will be Huangfu Song, Huangfu Yizhen.
Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song walked to He Jin to give gifts, although they are not under the jurisdiction of He Jin, but after all, He Jin's official position is higher than theirs, and they are both military generals in the army, and some etiquette still has to arrive. After that, He Jin introduced Wen Han again, and Wen Han gave the gift of the juniors, with a solemn attitude and no pretentiousness.
Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were the last batch of loyal generals in the late Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion could only be suppressed by them. They were loyal to the Han Dynasty until their deaths, no matter how corrupt the court was, and shared the country's worries. Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan are the teachers of Liu Bei and Nagong Sun Zhan.
Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huang Fusong chatted with He Jin for a while, and then resigned and returned to the table. After that, the banquet began, and the people of Cai's house brought sumptuous meals and drinks. Some of the scholars drank wine and began to chant poetry. And some bureaucrats are talking about interesting things about the DPRK and China.
Wen Han looked around, did not find Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and asked Cao Cao with some curiosity.
"This Runan Yuan brother is not known as 'the gentleman in the banquet', and the banquet has its figure. Why don't you see it today? ”
"Haha. You don't know that Cao's teacher 'Cai Zhonglang' and the imperial prince 'Yuan Kui' have different political opinions, and they often blow their beards and stare at each other in the court. The main reason is that the two have different concepts of the portal, Cai Zhonglang believes that as long as they are talented, no matter what their background, they can be officials. Yuan Taifu, on the other hand, believes that birth is linked to talent, and the ancestors of ordinary wealthy families are all great people with great talents, and their descendants are naturally not bad if they inherit by blood. Therefore, the relationship between the two is not harmonious.
Yuan Kui is the uncle of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and if Yuan Kui doesn't come, the two of them naturally don't dare to come. ”
Wen Han sighed, when he knew. I thought in my heart that Cao Cao's thinking was influenced by Cai Yong, and later Cao Cao's Magi Order was almost the same as Cai Yong's concept.
