Chapter 22: A Familiar Episode
Looking at the chaotic Luoyang City, Chu Feng could only sigh, the general trend was inevitable, and he couldn't do anything.
The alliance army that had just defeated Lu Bu and broken through the Tiger Prison Pass was still celebrating excitedly, who would have thought that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang.
Even if he came out to see Cao Cao and gave him a reasonable and well-founded analysis, he listened to it, so didn't he stand on the table and let Cao Cao notice him?
Moreover, it was too late to stop it, and not long after the alliance army broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo had already begun to evacuate Luoyang.
Even if Cao Cao persuaded Yuan Shao, if the army wanted to advance to save Luoyang, it would be too late, the god of war Lu Bu was not a decoration, and the wolf riding in the state was not a joke.
In short, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and others, without the resistance of Lu Bu's army, arrived in time, although the fire was very large, but the rescue was timely, and the whole Luoyang did not become a scorched earth.
And Chu Feng took two escorts, followed Dong Zhuo's army to Chang'an, spent some money to pass through the guards at the city gate, and entered Chang'an City.
This is the first time Chu Feng has seen the ancient Chang'an City of Nuoda, compared to Chen Liu and Jizhou City, Chang'an City at this time is still very large, if it is not for those homeless people outside, if it is not for the warriors who can be seen everywhere in the city, the style of this Chang'an City is still very good.
It was only in the afternoon of the next day that Chu Feng inquired about Cai Yong's residence, because Cai Yong, who followed Dong Zhuoer, was only known to very few people.
Locals in Chang'an had heard of Cai Yong, but they didn't know where Cai Yong was arranged by Dong Zhuo, or a bag from Chang'an who inquired and gave some money.
Cai Yong and Dong Zhuo are good friends, and Cai Yong is very, very angry about Dong Zhuo's troubles and chaos.
But Dong Zhuo valued Cai Yong's talent and reputation, and he didn't want to treat his friend badly, so he gave Cai Yong a big official to take care of.
Now he is Zuo Zhonglang, known as Cai Zhonglang, who is regarded as Guangzong Yaozong, and Dong Zhuo is also very kind to him.
And Cai Yong is also an old fool, after Dong Zhuo's death, he actually sighed Dong Zhuo's death in front of Wang Yun, this is not what death is.
If a person has to do it, this work will not be far from death.
After Cai Yong's death, there was only one weak woman left in the Cai family, and when the Huns took advantage of the chaos to go south and burned and looted in Chang'an, Cai Wenji was also directly snatched away.
Chu Feng arrived in front of Cai Yong's mansion, looking at such a tall mansion, he was a little worried in his heart, now Cai Yong can be described as a big official, and he is somewhat grateful to Dong Zhuo.
In addition, it is estimated that it is impossible to let Cai Yan follow a stranger like him, so he must think of a way.
"Big brother, I am a scholar from Luoyang, I want to ask for a livelihood in the house, and I ask you to be accommodating, ask the housekeeper, can you help, I have read books, and I know how to read, can you let me be an accountant, even if it is other livelihoods."
I saw a teenage man with slightly messy hair and some black charcoal on his face, looking ragged, and said to a nurse who opened the door.
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "You said you have read books and know how to read?" Surely not ordinary people, what about your family? ”
The down-and-out scholar said sadly: "My family, all, have been, have ....... ”
Looking at the sad appearance of the down-and-out scholar, the nursing home also knew the situation, opened the door, and let him in.
"Forget it, let's mourn and change, it's just right, we are short of people, but you are a person who has read books, let's meet the master, see how the master arranges, I'll take you down to wash up first."
This down-and-out scholar is actually Chu Feng, and he feels that he said to Cai Yong so openly, I want to take your daughter away, otherwise she will definitely suffer a catastrophe.
I can't say that Cai Yong swept himself out of the house directly, so he thought of such a play, which was also inspired by a more classic movie in later generations, and he was a subordinate in the house first, so that he could get close to the goal.
When Cai Yong heard that his subordinates had received an eleven-year-old child who had read a book, the hatred for Dong Zhuo in his heart strengthened a little, these people may become talented men of the Han Dynasty in the future, but unfortunately, because of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, they have become homeless people, they can't eat enough, they can't wear warm clothes, and they may even become an inferior person.
Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang, how many people were displaced, and how many families were separated because of this.
Alas, for this old friend of his, Cai Yong is grateful and angry, grateful because Dong Zhuo recruited him from the exiled land to the court of the Society, and also became a Zhonglang, which can be regarded as a prominent moment.
And what is angry is that Dong Zhuo directly coerced the Son of Heaven and treated the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty as a plaything.
Dong Zhuo did such a thing as staying on the dragon bed overnight, which made Cai Yong, who was loyal to the big man, not angry, it was no wonder, if Dong Zhuo was not his friend, he still had a little kindness to him, Cai Yong would have scolded people a long time ago.
The moment he saw Chu Feng, Cai Yong sighed in his heart, a young man, thinking that he had lost his parents, or because of his friend, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Thinking that Chu Feng had read books and knew words, he had an idea in his heart.
"You said you read books, so, what books did you read?" Cai Yong asked.
Chu Feng bowed slightly and replied: "The Book of Songs", "Fu", "Dongdu Fu", "Spring and Autumn", etc."
Cai Yong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Chu Feng had read a lot of books, and he was even more satisfied in his heart.
"Your name is Chu Feng, right, there are not many Chu families in Luoyang, which one are you? Let the old man help you inquire about your relatives, whether they are still alive, let them take care of it, why go to someone else's house and be a subordinate. ”
Chu Feng replied directly: "I am not from the Chu family in Luoyang, but a village outside Luoyang, my parents raised me with hard work, and tried their best to let me study, and I also worked very hard."
There is a ...... known. ”
Cai Yong sighed and comforted: "Mourning is smooth, your parents have great expectations, why do you want to surrender your identity, so are you willing to worship me as a teacher and be my disciple?" ”
Chu Feng directly made a big salute and said movingly: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”
"Okay, get up, now it is inconvenient for the teacher to be in the court, this apprenticeship ceremony is all simple, there is a daughter for the teacher, and now she is in the house, she will be your senior sister in the future, Chunhui, you clean up a yard for Feng'er, and send someone to explain the matter to Yan'er."
A housekeeper who was guarding outside gave Cai Yong a salute and left.
Cai Yong continued to say to Chu Feng: "There are other books in the teacher's study, you can also borrow them, in the future, you will be my disciple, and the teacher will be doing the persuasion chapter recently, so you will study with you." ”
Chu Feng gave a salute and replied, "No." ”
