Chapter 744: Chang'an Luoyang
East of Chang'an City, ten miles long pavilion.
It was dark and cloudy.
An old man with white temples stood under the pavilion with his hands in the wide sleeves of his Confucian robe, followed by dozens of soldiers carefully.
Soon, a convoy of dozens of people appeared in the distance, saying that it was a convoy, but in fact there was only one Zi car, moving slowly. The old man who was anxiously waiting turned flushed the moment he saw Ziche, and his hands were trembling, which showed how excited he was in his heart.
The speeding Zi car was faster, and in the blink of an eye, the carriage had stopped in front of the long pavilion.
A beautiful woman got out of the back of the car, with a black skirt, combed a high bun, and lightly applied powder, Wan Tingting came to the old man, saluted with her sleeves, and said, "Father." ”
This woman is none other than Cai Yan, who finally married Wei Zhongdao despite Liu Lan's three-year covenant, but only one year after marriage, happiness and beauty came to naught, Wei Zhongdao died of hemoptysis, Cai Yan, who did not have a son and a half daughter, was disliked by her husband's family, thinking that she 'killed her husband', and the arrogant Cai Wenji went home angrily despite his father's opposition, originally he thought that he would be severely reprimanded by his father, but he never expected his father to come out to greet him, which made Cai Yan, who had been smiling hard, finally couldn't help but fall into his father's arms and cry in a low voice.
Cai Yong caressed him lovingly, sighed and comforted: "Zhao Ji, I know that you have been wronged, but my father's intention at that time was not to consider you, and now that the war is frequent, I am worried about what kind of gangsters you encounter on the road and want you to live in your husband's house for a few more years, and then take you back when the war improves." ”
"Father, I ...... I blame you. Cai Yan raised his head and couldn't stop the tears in his eyes.
Cai Yong gently wiped the tears from the corners of his daughter's eyes with his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Silly child, what's wrong with it, how can there be parents who don't feel sorry for their children." How could a father let you suffer in your husband's house, and now that you have come back safely, you will be at home these days to study with your sister and younger brother. ”
"What about you, father?"
"The court has important matters to deal with, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return home in the next few days."
Cai Yan was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Father, don't work too hard." ”
Cai Yong sent Cai Yan away and returned to Chang'an to Weiyang Palace. The last time the Weiyang Palace was repaired was during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, according to the current 30 years, now Dong Zhuo has stepped up the repair work of the Weiyang Palace as soon as he arrives in Chang'an, but the amount of work is too huge, and it is impossible to make the Weiyang Palace glow with the glory of the past in a short period of time.
Cai Yong walked slowly, and when he was about to arrive at Miyagi, he heard the neighing sound of horses, and then the carriage stopped in front of Miyagi. glanced at it, but didn't think it was Ma Riyan who got out of the car, and at the same time found Cai Yong walking towards him with a smile and greeting him. Said: "Cai Gong." ”
"Captain Matthew." Cai Yong returned the salute.
While the two were talking, they saw dust flying in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves came.
Dare to ride a horse in Weiyang Palace, this courage is really big enough, the two of them turned their eyes together, and after an instant, they saw a group of cavalry galloping over, and Ma Riyan, who had better eyes, had already seen clearly who the first two were. said: "It's Wang Situ He, paused. Surprised, he said the name of the other person, Lu Bu. ”
The two looked at each other and thought in their hearts: How did these two people come together?
Although both of them are from the state, they have never heard of any communication between the two. In the midst of doubt, the two of them have come closer.
Wang Yun and Lu Bu turned over and dismounted back and forth, and Lu Bu stood aside, not knowing the two. Just arched his hand to say hello, and Wang Yun smiled and saluted, "Ma Gong, Cai Gong!" ”
"Wang Situ, who are you?"
"On the order of the Son of Heaven, I entered the palace to meet General Lu on the way to the audience, so I came together." As he spoke, he introduced the two of them. Although Lu Bu's official position is humble, he has the identity of Dong Zhuo's son, and he is also one of the commanders of the three forbidden armies newly formed by Dong Zhuo, so the two of them also lowered their status and were polite to him.
And the latter is also very good at talking, not only wearing high hats for the two, but also politely saying that he will take care of them in the future.
With Lu Bu's status by Dong Zhuo's side, it is definitely polite to say this, but it is not true, he often walks around Dong Zhuo, and naturally knows that Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to the two of them, coupled with the prestige of the two among the scholars, he deliberately compliments, the purpose is naturally to make friends with the two, and this can be regarded as a kind of political speculation, he has already endured all the suffering, no one has come forward to say a word for you at the critical moment, in the end, he will not get any benefits, not to mention that he will cause a commotion, and before entering Chang'an, he dug the official tomb of the imperial tomb, provoked the scholars to be very angry, and he just didn't want to have a good relationship with the scholars now.
But he also understands that his existence is a sharp sword for Dong Zhuo to suppress scholars, and he blatantly makes friends, which will cause Dong Zhuo to be dissatisfied, so he chose such an excuse to meet halfway, but he was deliberately waiting for Wang Yun to appear, and the reason why he chose him was naturally because this one was the only one in the court who was from Bingzhou, and it was easier to make friends.
"You're welcome." Cai Yong and Lu Bu walked into the imperial city first, and after entering the city, the two never mentioned the word Lu Bu. ”
"Luoyang has Bishui Pass in the east, Tongguan in the west as a barrier, Songshan Yique in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and Chang'an in the east Hangu Pass, the west has Dasan Pass, the South Wu Pass, the North Xiao Pass, are easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"What does Gong Cai think?"
"Kanto, the hometown of Confucianism, has many Confucian students, and Guanzhong has been the sphere of influence of the Qin people since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The two listened carefully, only to hear Cai Yongji pause and continue: "And Luoyang, since the third generation, has been extremely praised and admired as the capital, with a strong Confucian style, it is because the original Guangwu capital Luoyang is from the royal road, attaching importance to the education of the people, but Chang'an, whether it is the tyrannical Qin or Taizu, it is just the foundation of the hegemony, and it is difficult to compare with Luoyang. ”
The two have different views and naturally different visions, and it is natural and reasonable for Cai Yong, who compares Luoyang and Chang'an with people's hearts, to win. Ma Riyan Lang laughed: "Then I don't know what the two of you think of the Kwantung Coalition Army?" ”
Cai Yong was noncommittal and had nothing to comment, but Wang Yun snorted coldly: "The ambition of the wolf, how can you distinguish between loyalty and treachery?" ”
Ma Riyan's expression changed rapidly, but in the end, he said ambiguously: "It seems that Wang Situ has also heard about it." ”
"Establish a new dynasty and set up a new monarch, this is not what the ambition of the wolf son is, the fourth and fifth dukes of Yuan Benchu, tired of the emperor's grace, and did such a rebellious act without thinking of serving the country!"
“……”
Ma Riyan never expected that Wang Yun's reaction would be so fierce. (To be continued......)
