Chapter 32, to kill Cai Yong
Continue on the road, all the way, thousands of miles of red land, the nearby towns and granges are almost all looted by the Xiliang soldiers, sometimes there is no place to stay at night, so you can only sleep in the wilderness.
At first, Cai Yan was worried and walked with a few strange men, and she was very uneasy, but Zhao Yun treated her politely and took good care of her, Cai Yan gradually dispelled her worries and was grateful to Zhao Yun from the bottom of her heart.
After more than ten days of travel, this day finally came to Chang'an.
Although the Son of Heaven has moved the capital to Chang'an, the situation here is not much stronger than that of Luoyang, and it is a dilapidated scene, broken walls, and even barren.
Because, before the capital was moved, Chang'an was also in ruins.
"Hey, did you hear that? Cai Zhonglang has been arrested and is going to be killed! ”
As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Yun heard someone talking on the side of the road.
"Huh?"
Zhao Yun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly asked someone, "I don't know which Cai Zhonglang you are talking about?" ”
Cai Yan also poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the person being questioned with wide eyes, and the person sighed, "Who else could there be?" Of course, it's Lord Cai Yong. ”
"My father?"
Cai Yan was taken aback, and the sudden bad news made her overly frightened for a while, and she fainted on the spot.
Zhao Yun also sighed, hurriedly found an inn to live in, and invited a Lang Zhong to treat Cai Yan, and Tai Shici was also sent by Zhao Yun to inquire about the news on the street.
Not long after, Cai Yan woke up slowly, his eyes suddenly turned red, he buried his face in his arms, and cried loudly, and in a blink of an eye, he cried into tears.
Zhao Yun hurriedly persuaded, "Don't worry, maybe the matter is not so serious, Cai Zhonglang is highly respected, famous at home, and respected by the government and the opposition, it should be fine." ”
Although Zhao Yun has no bottom in his heart, in order to make Cai Yan get better as soon as possible, he has to say this, in fact, he also understands that if this is really Wang Yun's order and insists on killing Cai Yong, then it will be difficult for things to turn around.
In "Three Kingdoms", Cai Yong was after Dong Zhuo's death, because Dong Zhuo was sacrificed, Wang Yun was very dissatisfied with this, and despite the persuasion of hundreds of officials, he killed Cai Yong in the face of the world's disapproval.
First, Cai Yong paid tribute to Dong Zhuo, and second, Cai Yong was preparing to compile the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Wang Yun felt that once Cai Yong was spared, Cai Yong would definitely accuse and slander him in the book, which was not the result Wang Yun wanted, so he insisted on going his own way and killing Cai Yong.
Seeing that it was getting dark, under Zhao Yun's anxious waiting, Tai Shi Ci finally came back, and when he saw the expression on Tai Shi Ci's face, Zhao Yun's heart sank.
Tai Shici's face was solemn, there was no smile at all, his heart was like pressing a thousand catties of boulder, after entering the house, he sighed again and again, "I'm afraid it's difficult to have room for maneuver, many courtiers have interceded for Cai Zhonglang, but Wang Yun refused, this time I'm afraid that Cai Zhonglang will be executed." ”
Fortunately, Cai Yan was in another room, Zhao Yun made a gesture to Tai Shici, and took Liu and Qi Zhou to the corridor outside.
"What did it all come about?" Zhao Yun hurriedly asked, because of Zhao Yun's relationship, Dong Zhuo died on the way to move the capital, he wondered in his heart, is Cai Yong's death still the same as the original plot? It shouldn't be.
Dong Zhuo has been dead for a long time, and if Cai Yong had sacrificed his corpse, he would have died a long time ago.
Tai Shici sighed again, "Here's the thing, after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun talked to him once, when talking about Dong Zhuo, Cai Zhonglang sighed again and again, and his face showed a somewhat unbearable look, just because of this, Wang Yun had a grudge against Cai Zhonglang, and Cai Yong also attracted the disaster of killing. Wang Yun concluded that Cai Zhonglang was complaining about Dong Zhuo, and it was out of selfish gratitude and ignoring justice, Dong Zhuo was killed, and the whole world celebrated, Cai Zhonglang actually complained for Dong Zhuo at this time, in Wang Yun's opinion, it was simply a crime of disrespect, sympathizing with the national thief, that is, being an anti-thief, Wang Yun was furious, and wanted to take Cai Zhonglang to kill a hundred to warn the world. ”
Wang Yun was furious at that time, and sharply reprimanded Cai Yong, "Dong Zhuoguo's thief almost overthrew the Han family." The king is a king's minister, and it is appropriate to share the same hatred and hatred, and even cherish his selfish kindness and forget the big festival! Now that Heaven has destroyed sinners, and you have expressed your sorrow, will you not be against the party? ”
Because of this sentence, Cai Yong was arrested and thrown into prison on the spot.
The reason why he has not been killed is that he has just moved the capital, everything is busy, and the situation is still unstable; Second, the civil and military officials persuaded each other hard, and Wang Yun couldn't kill Cai Yong directly, so it dragged on until now.
Tai Shi Ci paused for a moment, and then said, "This is only one of the aspects, even if Cai Zhonglang is guilty, he should not be beheaded, then since Wang Yun came to Chang'an, many people have secretly discussed, saying that he seems to have changed as a different person." ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Yun suddenly had an epiphany, this is the crux of the problem.
Tai Shici continued, "I asked around, and I learned some inside information, no matter who persuaded Wang Yun, he categorically refused, and his tone was very arbitrary, as if he had become the lord of Chang'an, even Lu Bu had to listen to Wang Yun's orders, as for today's son, he is still young, and he is also very dependent on Wang Yun, killing Cai Zhonglang, which has many elements of Liwei. ”
The reason is that the power in Wang Yun's hands has made him change.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you become bad, although it is a bit biased, but it is undeniable that there is some truth in this sentence.
Money can make people change, and so do rights.
Before moving the capital, no matter what Wang Yun did, at least he was crushed by Dong Zhuo, and he had no real power in his hands.
But after moving the capital, Dong Zhuo, who was full of evil, was dead, although Wang Yun and Lu Bu ruled together, but Lu Bu was a reckless martial artist, and the power in the court fell into the hands of Wang Yun without dispute.
Wang Yun was in the limelight politically because of this, and people respected him, supported him, and almost offered him like a god!
Standing on the pinnacle of power, the autocratic desire (hope) that has always been implied in Wang Yun's body has been awakened by great merits, he is a loyal minister, and he can be regarded as a good person, but his selfishness has been greatly expanded, and even he himself does not realize it, he thinks that what he is doing is right, all for the purpose of supporting the Han family, and in order to reorganize the society.
Wang Yun hated Dong Zhuo's autocracy before, but instead followed in Dong Zhuo's footsteps step by step, and Wang Yun is becoming the second Dong Zhuo.
It's not that he's bad, but he's become arbitrary and arbitrary, and he has become unpopular.
To kill Cai Yong, Liwei is one thing, warning others is also the other, and the most important thing is that he wants to seal Cai Yong's pen and never let the historical voice that is not favorable to him appear.
Wang Yun, who was full of poetry and books, complained deeply about Sima Qian's "Historical Records", "Historical Records" slandered the imperial court, derogatory to the world, and attacked the imperial court, the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven, and the world at that time.
Wang Yun is loyal to the Han family and the imperial court, this world is chaotic enough, once Cai Yong passes on the truth through the Han book, it is definitely not what Wang Yun wants to see.
The ugliness of the family is not publicized, and the ugliness of the country cannot be passed on to future generations by resorting to the pen!
