After talking for about two quarters of an hour, Jiang Hyun returned to his terrace, and soon after, the old man and the middle-aged scholar also left the Qing Pavilion with the little girl.

Chen Lin and the others heard from the sound of the piano that these two people seemed to be extraordinary, and asked Jiang Xun who he was.

Jiang Hyun smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, they have always refused to reveal their names and surnames, they only know that the girl is called Yan'er, and the rest of Hyun doesn't know!" Jiang Hyun was telling the truth, he had asked who the other party was, but the other party told him back with inconvenience, so it was inconvenient for him to ask in detail.

Dong Zhao asked what they talked about, but Jiang Xun still said frankly: "Talk about some piano music, ask about some classics, and talk about the characters of Liangzhou and Qingzhou, that's all." ”

Dong Zhao nodded and didn't ask again. His eyes were on the terrace over there, thoughtful.

Leaving the Qing Pavilion, the old man held Yan'er in his hand, and the qin was carried on the back by the middle-aged scholar, and the old man asked as he walked: "The son will be good at tasting and appreciating the truth, how about watching Jiang Bopei?" ”

It turned out that this middle-aged scholar was Nanyang Xu Shao (the word general), who was good at evaluating characters and whether he was good at judging people. The so-called "There are two dragons in the abyss of peaceful public opinion" is Xu Shao, who presided over the Yuedan review and tasted the world's figures, and his brother Xu Jing. And this old man, who can let Xu Shao treat him with the courtesy of his son and nephew, is not an ordinary person, it is Cai Yong, the founder of the famous and Taixue Stone Scripture.

Xu Shao shook his head and said with a smile: "Cai Gong has a good reputation, in front of Cai Gong, how dare Shao dare to speak good and be good?" "Modesty is modesty, and the question still has to be answered," in my humble opinion, although this son is young, he learns his words too much, reads his talents in the dew, and talks earnestly, looking at the high ambition and the breadth of his degree, which is immeasurable! In time, the wind and clouds will meet, or they will be immortal! ”

Cai Yong muttered: "The ambition is wide and immeasurable. The Gathering of Storms and Clouds, the Immortal Heroes...... This rating is very high! As he spoke, he thought of another person and said with a smile: "Hehe, last year, the old man sneaked back to Luoyang, and he also met a bosom friend." His person is also a skipped person, it can be said that it is very, the son will comment on this person, do you remember? ”

"The capable minister who rules the world, the traitor of the troubled times. What Cai Gong said, but Cao Mengde? ”

These ten words are Xu Shao's comments to Cao Cao back then. Cao Cao was promoted to filial piety and planned to go to Luoyang to ask for a position in Luoyang. Passing by Runan, I went to visit Xu Shao. At that time, Cao Cao recognized Xu Shao's previous sentence, although he did not get the position of Luoyang Ling, but he also served as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, strict law and discipline, stick to kill the plan, Cao Cao's performance can be called a true minister, can govern the world, worthy of the previous sentence. The latter sentence, especially the word "rape", Cao Cao disagreed. However, he was open-minded by nature, and he didn't bother with Xu Shao at that time, and left laughing.

Cai Yong nodded and continued: "At the beginning of last year, the old man sneaked back to Luoyang, and Chen Situ valued Mengde's talent and virtue, secretly and saw it, and said that he was a party member. Meng De agreed, but the eunuch took power, and after learning that Meng De was in the book, he sent Chen Situ to prison and fabricated false charges, causing Mrs. Chen to die in prison. The old father was also almost not spared. ”

The tempering of avoiding rivers and seas for several years, and the turmoil a year ago, Cai Yong still remembers it vividly.

Back then, Cai Yong and his father, Wei Cai Zhen, had a bad relationship with Situ Liu He and the master Yang Qiu, who was the son-in-law of Cheng Huang. In the first year of Guanghe (178), Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, summoned Cai Yong with a natural disaster, and Cai Yong played a lot of references to Cheng Huang's crimes, and impeached Taiwei Zhang Hao, Guanglu Xun Weizhang, Changshui Captain Zhao Xuan, Tunqi Captain Gai Sheng and others.

Later, the chapter was obtained by Cao Jie, a regular attendant among the eunuchs, and told Cheng Huang. Cheng Huang contacted the alliance and party henchmen, falsely accused Cai Yong and Cai Qian, and Liu Hong issued a letter and summoned Yong to interrogate. Cai Yongshang defended himself, but he and Cai Zhen were still sent to Luoyang Prison, and some officials were impeached for serving the public with grudges, discussing the ministers, and being disrespectful, and they should abandon the city. Lu Qiang, the regular servant, took pity on Cai Yong's innocence, so he pleaded with Liu Hong for him, and Liu Hong also remembered Cai Yong's previous words, so he issued an edict to reduce his death by one class, and exile Shuo Fang instead, and he was not allowed to be removed by pardon.

Yang Qiu was afraid that Cai Yong would come back in the future, so he sent multiple assassins to assassinate Cai Yong, and the assassins felt Cai Yong's loyalty, but it was useless. Yang Qiu also poisoned Cai Yong by the officials along the way, but the instructed people instead told Cai Yong the news and asked him to be more vigilant. Cai Yong was always spared because of this, and he arrived safely in Anyang, Wuyuan.

When Cai Yong was in Dongguan before, he finished editing the "Taixue Shijing", and revised the "Hanji" with Lu Zhi and Han Shuo, but he was exiled and could not be completed. Therefore, he wrote the ten meanings of the book, respectively, and placed the left chapter in succession. Liu Hongjia was highly talented, and in the second year of amnesty, You Cai Yong returned to the county, in order to continue the "Han Ji", and was exiled to pardon, which lasted for nine months.

When Cai Yong was about to leave for the county, Wuyuan Taishou Wang Zhi saw him off. During the banquet, Wang Zhi danced to persuade Cai Yong to drink, but Cai Yong ignored it. Wang Zhinai often serves Wang Fu's younger brother, who has always been arrogant, and insulted Cai Yong with a loss of face: "Dare to despise me!" Cai Yong was not angry and walked away.

Wang Zhi hated it very much, and secretly complained about Yong's imprisonment and slander against the court. Cai Yong was unavoidable, so he died in Jianghai and traveled to Wuhui for four years.

In January last year, Liu Hong issued an edict ordering the ministers of the central government to use folk songs and rumors to report the assassins, county guards, and county magistrates who had harmed the people in various places. Taiwei Xu Yu and Sikong Zhang Ji colluded with the Ten Standing Servants to accept bribes, and did not dare to intervene in the children or guests of those eunuchs who served as assassins, county guards, and county magistrates, although they were corrupt and infamous, but baselessly reported 26 hostile eunuchs or officials with shallow backgrounds but who were honest and quite accomplished, and all 26 of them were questioned or dismissed.

At that time, Jiang Xun's father, Jiang Tong, served as the assassin of Yuzhou, and he was an honest and upright official, and was praised by Yuzhou. Yingchuan Zhang Rang's family was under his jurisdiction, and there was quite a conflict between them, so Jiang Tong was also among the twenty-six people, and was even sent to the capital.

Under the deliberate arrangement and organization of Situ Chen Tan, the subordinates of these officials and the people under their rule went to the gate of the Luoyang Palace to appeal to them. Chen Tan and Cao Cao, the speaker of the council, took the opportunity to write: "The secretary of state led the party for his own personal gain, and the so-called release of the owl and imprisoned Luan Feng." Emperor Ling admonished, blamed Xu Yu and Zhang Ji for this, and appointed all the officials who were called to interrogate crimes as councilors.

In this wave of struggle, the scholars had the upper hand. At this time, Cai Yong secretly returned to Luoyang and found Chen Tan. After the two deliberated, they decided that they should take advantage of the victory and pursue them. He also found Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to write a letter to avenge the grievances of the party members and the cases of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, so as to establish his prestige in the court. The two chose Cao Cao because they took a fancy to his family background that was quite related to eunuchs, and even if they failed, they would not end up miserable.

Cao Cao understood that the two of them were using themselves to test the emperor's attitude, to test whether they were biased in favor of the party or the eunuchs, but he was still willing to pay for it and resolutely wrote the book.

In the recital of Cao Cao's book, he not only mentioned that he overturned the case for Dou Wu and Chen Fan, but also participated in a wide range of impeachments, pointing directly at the ten permanent servants. The Ten Standing Servants collected the list of Cao Cao's faction in the court, and prepared to take revenge. Fortunately, Cao Song had a secret discussion with the Ten Standing Servants overnight and promised a heavy bribe, so Cao Cao himself was not investigated. However, Chen Tan was not spared and was sent to the court. Hundreds of officials in the capital wrote to intercede for Chen Tan, but Liu Hong sent more than 100 people to prison together, including Chen Tan, most of whom abandoned the city. The strength of the scholars was greatly damaged, and more than half of them went to the central and central rivers.

After this turmoil, Cai Yong, who originally planned to appear in public, chose to lie dormant again, hiding his book while waiting for the next opportunity. Recently, Cai Yong, who has been hiding in Luoyang, heard about the case of Wang Qiao of sour jujubes, and Chen Wang Liu Pet privately sent the evidence of Zhang Rang's involvement in the case for some reason, and felt that it was promising, so he set his eyes on Jiang Xun, who was very involved in this matter. also found Xu Shao, who was helpful to him on the way to escape and had the ability to recognize people, to observe and evaluate Jiang Xun together. learned that he had a bad relationship with the eunuchs, and was friendly with Yuan and Cao, and after hearing what he said in Taixue, he tried to talk about it again, and he had already preliminarily recognized Jiang Xun.

However, it was said that Jiang Hyun, Chen Lin and others had a banquet and drink until the evening, and everyone went back to their respective homes, or went back to Taixue, and Jiang Hyun also arrived home before the curfew.

Jiang Hyun has stayed at home for a few days, except for Ding Xiao and Liu Bei, no one else comes. But I didn't want to go out today, so I went to Taixue, and something came to the door.
