Chapter 39, Cai Yong's feet
Cai Yong, pure and filial, his mother was sick in bed, perennial affordable, Cai Yong had no complaints, served closely, and served in front of the bed for three years, many times it was all night, never leaving.
After the death of his mother, he drafted Lu to guard filial piety in front of the grave, and his uncle, younger brother, and three generations did not share the family property, and the township party all admired his high righteousness.
In addition to filial piety, Cai Yong is also erudite, learning from his predecessor Taifu Hu Guang, well-read, writing a good diction, proficient in mathematics, and also has a deep knowledge of astronomical gossip, and the music is a must.
He is a bold person, his neighbors, and whoever has difficulties, he is generous and not stingy.
After entering the official career, he had an upright temperament and repeatedly spoke out and admonished, and Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were extremely dissatisfied with him, but he was still the same, and he was deposed and exiled many times.
Because of his advice, he offended the magnates, exposed the sins of the eunuchs, got rid of the villain's fat, and made many enemies in the court.
When Emperor Ling, Cai Yong once again bluntly listed some high-ranking officials for dereliction of duty and corruption, and the spearhead was directed at the eunuchs around Emperor Ling, which happened to be heard by the eunuch Cao Jie who was hiding aside, Cao Jie spread the matter, and those who hated Cai Yong began to frame Cai Yong, and Emperor Ling was encouraged by the traitorous ministers, and Cai Yong was put in prison and sentenced to death directly.
Fortunately, Lu Qiang, a regular servant of Zhongchang, interceded for Cai Yong, and Emperor Ling commuted Cai Yong's death sentence and exiled Shuo Fang.
Yang Qiu hired an assassin to assassinate Cai Yong halfway, but the assassin not only did not kill Cai Yong, but felt Cai Yong's high righteousness and took the initiative to retreat.
After arriving in Shuofang, Yangqiu bribed the local officials to poison Cai Yong, but the bribed officials took the initiative to tell Cai Yong the truth and told him to pay more attention.
Exiled for a few months, Emperor Ling wanted to summon him back, halfway, Wuyuan Taishou Wang Zhi practiced for him, Wang Zhi is the younger brother of Wang Fu, on the banquet, Wang Zhi out of vassal elegance, left the table to dance, it stands to reason that Cai Yong should also dance, but he ignored it.
Wang Zhi lost face, became angry, and reprimanded Cai Yong loudly, "The prisoner dares to despise me? ”
You are a sinner, and you dare to despise me?
Cai Yong didn't answer, and walked away, giving Wang Zhi a greater embarrassment.
Wang Zhi hated the itch, resentful, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate, the ten permanent servants received Wang Zhi's letter, and also prepared to rectify Cai Yong, once he returned to Luoyang, it will be difficult to escape persecution, Cai Yong helpless, fled to Wudi, where he stayed for 12 years.
It wasn't until Dong Zhuo summoned him that Cai Yong returned to Luoyang.
After saying this, Zhao Yun stopped talking and looked at Liu Xie quietly.
Liu Xie was deeply touched, Cai Yong was very appreciative of Cai Yong, whether he was a person or loyal and outspoken, but such an upright and loyal good person was repeatedly framed, the ten permanent servants were hateful, and the corrupt officials were hateful, but it was the two emperors of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling who played a decision-making role.
He Liu family, he was sorry for Cai Yong at all, and almost killed Cai Yong several times, but it was Dong Zhuo, who was full of evil, and treated Cai Yong with courtesy, which has to be said to be a great irony, and now it is the turn of the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, even if Wang Yun wants to kill Cai Yong, once this matter spreads, it will inevitably damage Your Majesty's prestige, because, after all, Wang Yun is a courtier, and you are the son of today, if Cai Yong is really killed, everyone must think that it is your will."
Once this happens, Cai Yong's life will be persecuted by Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, and then killed by Emperor Xian, Cai Yong will become a tragedy, and the majesty of the royal family will also plummet.
Liu Xie was silent for a long time, and Zhao Yun's words spoke to the deepest part of his heart.
After a long time, Liu Xie raised his head again, "This matter is not trivial, Rong Zhen thinks about it carefully, Liu Ai, go and invite Master Situ here." ”
Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, at least, his words worked, but the decision was still in Wang Yun's hands, which made Zhao Yun feel very uncomfortable.
After Wang Yun came, Liu Xie mentioned Cai Yong's matter in a consultative tone, Wang Yun's attitude was the same as always, he repeatedly said that the law is ruthless, the state has national law, and Cai Yong's approach is like a thief, and Liu Xie's attitude plays a very limited role.
Wang Yun's attitude towards Cai Yong is one thing, he is also so domineering in front of Liu Xie, which makes Zhao Yun very dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, Chang'an still needs Wang Yun to preside over the overall situation, and Zhao Yun is not easy to attack.
The matter came to an impasse, Wang Yun did not back down, Zhao Yun had no choice but to make concessions, "Your Majesty, Cai Zhonglang only wants to spare his life, and he accepts any criminal law calmly, please Your Majesty can spare his life for everything Cai Zhonglang has done to the court and Sheji for so many years." ”
Liu Xie nodded, and looked at Wang Yun again with an inquiring gaze, "Lord Situ, General Zhao killed Dong Zhuo, eliminated harm for the people, and eliminated thieves for the country, so far, I have not given him any reward, this time you should take a step back." ”
Wang Yun gritted his teeth angrily, a cold light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, he really wanted to kill him, Liu Xie begged him, he actually dared to do this.
"Well, even so, the old minister spared Cai Yong's life, but the death penalty can be forgiven, and the living crime cannot be escaped, the old minister hopes to cut him off to correct the law of the country, and this person must no longer stay by His Majesty's side, so as not to slander the court and discuss the government!"
Zhao Yun's face changed a few times, and he secretly said in his heart, "What a ruthless heart, such a vicious Wang Yun!" ”
But Zhao Yun is not right about things or people, he still believes that Wang Yun is one of the few loyal ministers to Sheji.
Foot cutting is the cutting off of a person's kneecaps, so that a person can no longer stand, and like palace punishment, it is an extremely cruel criminal law.
But Zhao Yun had to accept it, he left the palace with a heavy heart, Cai Yong was tortured at noon that day, and Wang Yun gave him three days to leave Chang'an immediately.
Zhao Yunhua hired a Lang Zhong at a high price to take care of Cai Yong, Cai Yong, who was already in his sixtieth year, suddenly suffered such a criminal law, and the whole person was almost abolished, and he didn't need to be taken care of all the time, Cai Yan cried dead and alive, but Cai Yong was very open, as long as he could continue to write Hanshu, he was already very content.
Cai Yong was about to leave in three days, and Zhao Yun didn't want to stay for a long time, so he entered the palace again the next day, and only then did he mention the mission given to him by Gongsun Zhan, Liu Xie was very dissatisfied with the dispute between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, and he did not approve of Gongsun Chan going to war with Yuan Shao.
Zhao Yun shook his head, "Your Majesty, some things can't be avoided at all, as the saying goes, if the two males don't stand side by side, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, although Gongsun Chan is in Youzhou and Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, but the two places are connected, the same body, and sooner or later they have to fight." What's more, Yuan Shao's approach, it really makes people dare not compliment, before His Majesty was in trouble, the princes of the Eighteenth Road raised troops to attack Dong, but Yuan Shao did not want to forge ahead, did nothing, as the leader of the alliance, he did not want to save Kuang Fu Sheji, but only wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve his own selfish ambitions, and secretly wanted to incite Liu Yu to be the emperor, not long ago, he forced Han Fu to flee Jizhou, even if Gongsun Chan did not beat him, he would turn around and beat Gongsun Zhan. ”
Zhao Yun's words were not concealed, but in Liu Xie's ears, they were tantamount to five thunderbolts.
