Chapter 27 Expulsion from Luoyang
Zhou Yi is a person who has no political stance, at least not at this stage.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Yi has no political foundation now, none of the five major political forces play with Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi does not have his own political team.
It is said that Zhou Yi is a soldier, but Zhou Yi has no military power, nor does he have his own descendant troops, so he is not a military power group.
said that Zhou Yi was a scholar, after all, Zhou Yi married the daughter of the Cai family, but since Zhou Yi came to Luoyang, he offended the second generation of officials in Luoyang, and even snatched Cai Yan away from the Wei family in Hedong, completely offending the Wei family. The Shizu Group felt that Zhou Yi was an uncontrollable factor, and they did not regard Zhou Yi as their own.
said that Zhou Yi was the emperor, but Emperor Ling of Han knew that he trusted eunuchs and relatives, and Zhou Yi had nothing to do with these two groups.
Zhou Yi's position in Luoyang is very embarrassing, although he can talk to that kind of political group, but it is limited to this, involving the change of official positions and the exchange of interests, there is nothing Zhou Yi can do.
Zhou Yi can only be idle, but he still has the name of the general, and he can't leave Luoyang.
Zhou Yi has no political position, but Cai Yong does.
Cai Yong, as the great Confucian of the time and the leader of the Qing Stream of the scholars, is "taking the world as his own responsibility" as his life creed. It just so happened that this was the darkest moment in the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For a while, Zhou Yi's father-in-law couldn't hold back and wrote to the court to admonish. A large article is sprinkled, and it can be summed up that disasters in the world are endless, because eunuchs and women interfere in politics, and it is recommended that Emperor Ling of Han take back the power of eunuchs and relatives and return to the court.
I have to say that Zhou Yi, Cai's father-in-law, has great attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and literature, but his political wisdom is almost zero.
Confucianism is to pay attention to the induction of heaven and man to restrain the imperial power, but the induction of heaven and man for hundreds of years, the disaster should come or come, so that the royal family does not believe in this set. Now Cai Yong is playing again, of course, he is not liked by Emperor Ling. How could eunuchs and relatives, as minions of the emperor, be pulled out. Now it is the imperial power that is fighting against the nobles, not just eunuchs and relatives.
The last time Cai Yong was convicted, he offended the eunuch Wang Fu and others, and this time he doesn't have a long memory. Perhaps in Cai Yong's heart, for the sake of the political clarity described by Confucianism, the Tao exists, although tens of millions of people have gone to it.
With the determination to challenge the imperial power, it is sure to die.
On the same day, Cai Yong was imprisoned on charges of ill-intentioned contempt for imperial power.
This is very bad for Cai Meimei, and the shadow of the family's exiled childhood strikes again, which is terrifying when you think about it. Washing his face with tears all day long, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and Zhou Yizhi, who watched it, was distressed. I had to promise Cai Yan that everything was with me, and I promised to rescue my father-in-law.
Does Zhou Yi have such a great ability to change the emperor's will? Zhou Yi didn't, and until now Zhou Yi is just a marginal figure in politics. But there is one thing that can, and that is money, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is short of money, and the ten permanent servants like money. It just so happened that Qian Zhouyi still had some more. Counterinsurgency is a reward, and the money Xiao Wu gets from doing business is not small.
In order to rescue his father-in-law Cai Yong, Zhou Yi spent a lot of money and almost didn't take Wanli Yanyunju to give it away.
Fortunately, the ten permanent servants are still more trustworthy, and after Zhou Yi paid a lot of money, Cai Yong was released, but Cai Yong was not allowed to stay in Luoyang any longer. Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants, said, the world is so big, you Lord Cai can go wherever you want, except for Luoyang.
With such a result, the Cai family is already very satisfied, that is, Cai Yong does not have a good face for Zhou Yi. bribed the ten permanent servants, lost Cai Yong's face, how to raise his head in front of his colleagues in the future. A literati is a literati, and the way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people, and the focus is different. Maybe this is the style of the literati, although Zhou Yi also admires and respects people, but Zhou Yi really doesn't have the backbone.
Zhou Yi has no backbone, but he is happy, Cai Yan is grateful to Zhou Yi for rescuing his father, and he is obedient to Zhou Yi.
After Cai Yong's incident, Zhou Yi didn't want to stay in Luoyang, originally staying in Luoyang, although it was enough for the imperial court to order, it was more about taking care of Cai Yan, after all, except for Luoyang, Zhou Yi didn't have a mansion anywhere else, so he couldn't let Cai Yan live in the mountains.
This time Cai Yong returned to his hometown, and Cai Yan also had to go back, and Zhou Yi escorted them back to Chen Liu's hometown by the way.
For the sake of Zhou Yi's generous gift some time ago, Zhou Yi's resignation was quickly approved.
Zhou Yi visited Lu Zhi, and after Huangfu Song, he went to the Northern Army to visit Guan Yu. The relationship that should have been left before Luo still has to go aside, and the communication in this era remains the same, and I don't know when I will see him again. Cai Yong also had a lot of old days in Luoyang, and he was delayed for many days. When Cai Yong was in trouble, he didn't see Lord Cai have such a wide range of contacts.
Guan Yu mixed well in the Northern Army, and some people were born to belong to the army. A man like this who has high martial arts, stresses righteousness, and knows the art of war will only shine in the army. If you go farming, you may have to buy beans.
After several times of urging by the ten permanent attendants, the family finally set off.
Going back to Cai's house this time is equivalent to moving, except for a few people who stayed in Luoyang, the rest of the people all went back with Cai Yong. Jianshu alone has been loaded with several large cars, maybe Cai Yong also knows that the possibility of returning to Luoyang in this life is very small, so he takes everything he can take away, and concentrates on studying at home from then on.
Originally, in ancient times, it was a drudgery to hurry, but everyone insisted on turning the journey into a sightseeing tour.
Walk a maximum of more than ten miles a day, tour the mountains and rivers, on the one hand, Cai Yan and Xiao Ximo how to go out, everything seems so curious, on the other hand, there is also an element of enlightenment Cai Yong, not everyone says that when they are in a bad mood, they will come to a trip that they can go.
Zhou Yi had the purpose of watching the geography and mountains and the local customs, and visited the local area everywhere he went, chatted with the prestigious elderly, and even went to the fields to work with the farmers.
Cai Yong saw all this, and his attitude towards Zhou Yi changed slightly.
Near evening, Zhou Yi hunted a few hares, hunted two wild boars, and ate barbecue meat in the evening.
Looking at Cai Yan who was directing everyone to barbecue and stew, Xiao Xi who was fighting, the village children who were waiting to eat meat while playing, and Zhou Yi who was talking with the patriarch a little farther away, Cai Yong couldn't help but have a feeling that this was a family.
This kind of scene has also happened many times on the road, and Cai Yong has gradually adapted to it. Cai Yong appreciated the food distributed to everyone in the village, but let Cai Yong put down his status as a scholar and mingle with the farmer, but Lord Cai still couldn't do it.
Cai Yong was also very strange, how Zhou Yi had a good conversation with those farmers, just because his son-in-law was from a civilian background.
But then again, this son-in-law of mine is really good, it can be said that he is both civil and military, and his character is also good, but his background is not good, he is from a civilian background, his father's power is not strong, and he has no foundation in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty.
Cai Yong is also a person who has gone through the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and he is very wise. The reason why he did not hesitate to offend the eunuchs and powerful ministers was that Cai Yong saw the problems of the Han court and wanted to solve them. It may be that the method is wrong, but with the wisdom of this era, this may be the best solution given by this generation of Confucian scholars.
Not to mention that Cai Yong does not have the answer to solve the problem, even Zhou Yi, who has a vision of thousands of years, does not have the answer to solve the problem quickly, and there are many restrictive conditions in this era.
Zhou Yi also has no way to start, this is a difficult problem with the characteristics of the times.
The so-called problem of the characteristics of the times is that with the economic and technological resources of the time, the best solution is just that.
