Chapter 216: Cai Mansion Dialogue
"Dad, you really want to invite Ye Chen to come to the house. Haven't you always looked down on him as a person? In Cai's mansion, Cai Yan asked Cai Yong puzzled.
"Yan'er, my father has lived in Luoyang for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the situation outside, this Ye Chen not only went south and north, but also fought on the front line. Dad wants to write the history of the Han Dynasty, and this Yellow Turban Rebellion cannot be avoided, and the first material is needed. โ
"So I think about it, I still have to meet this Ye Chen, and besides, I don't know if the outside is really as he said, 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.'" Also, I asked some friends to learn that this Ye Chen is really recruiting displaced people in Liaodong, and the displaced people in the three prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei and Youzhou are rushing to Liaodong. โ
After Cai Yong heard Cai Yan's words to foresee Ye Chen two days ago, he thought about it for two days, so he planned to invite Ye Chen to come over and meet him.
"That daddy, in this way, this Ye Chen is a good person, but why did he collude with Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang's gang died." Cai Yan's big eyes flickered and asked.
"In the past, my father thought that he was wrong, but now my father thinks that when evaluating a person, we must have a comprehensive understanding, and we can't just evaluate him as a whole because of a certain behavior. This Ye Chen did rise rapidly because he took refuge in Zhang Rang, but his rise was indeed based on real merits, and through the understanding of the past two days, Ye Chen has done a lot in Liaodong, and he has done great things to keep thousands of people alive. So it's a little difficult to evaluate Ye Chen. โ
"It's true, how can this Ye Chen be a good and bad person." Cai Yan said with a frowning eyebrow.
"Dad has already sent someone to send a post, if Ye Chen will come, he will come over later." Cai Yong was already ready in the house, and he could only come to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was also a little confused when he received Cai Yong's invitation, although the other party was polite when he was deceived by Wei Zhongdao before, he unreservedly said that he was not welcome.
Now Cai Yong will take the initiative to invite him, he doesn't think that he has changed his position because of his strength, Dong Zhuo's brutality has not made him change his position, let alone himself.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, this Cai Yong won't do anything to himself, just go.
So Ye Chen prepared some gifts and went to Cai's mansion.
Ye Chen's movements have now become the object of attention of major forces, and a large number of people don't understand Ye Chen's going to Cai Mansion.
"Junior Ye Chen has seen Scholar Cai." After Ye Chen arrived at Cai's mansion, he used the gift of his juniors to communicate with Cai Yong.
"General Ye, please take a seat. I invited General Ye to the mansion to ask for some views on the current situation. โ
"Don't dare to be, if Scholar Cai has anything to ask, just ask, and tell the truth in the morning."
"Okay, is the big man really as unbearable as you said?"
As soon as Ye Chen heard it, he knew that Cai Yong was asking what Cai Yan said that day, so he said: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao can make Bazhou unrest and raise millions of Yellow Turbans, why is this?" Most of these yellow scarves rebelled because they couldn't eat, and most of them rebelled for the simple reason that they wanted to eat a full meal. So much for. โ
Cai Yong didn't answer, but looked thoughtful.
Ye Chen continued: "Now that I go up to the imperial court and down to the local government, almost no one really does things for the people, and when they are for the benefit of one party, and the entire Han can find such a person?" Even if there are, they will be regarded as outliers, the people will not have enough to eat, they will not survive, and even people will starve to death, who will care about their righteousness. That's why there are so many people from the horns. โ
"Alas, think about how strong my Han used to be, but now it is full of bandits, and the people are not happy." Cai Yong sighed and said helplessly.
"If you want to write history, why don't you look at the world from the bottom and see what they think about the world today. History has always been written by scholars, and the world they depicted was completely different from the world seen by the people at the bottom. If the people at the bottom can read books and know how to write history, then many views of history will have to change. โ
It is no secret that Cai Yong wants to write history, Cai Yong is looking for people everywhere to ask for information, and he has been preparing for a long time.
Ye Chen's words allowed Cai Yong to enter a completely new world, he is also a scholar, of course, he is in contact with the world of scholars, although he is full of sympathy for the people at the bottom, but he has not really understood them.
"From the perspective of the people? Is there any difference? Cai Yong asked puzzled.
"The people are actually supposed to be an integral part of history, but from ancient times to the present, they have been artificially divided, and the voices of the people have not been recorded in the annals of history, so that we can't see how the people live and think today. In the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, there was very little description of the people, only a few words, and we can only guess why so many people rebelled with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the first place. โ
Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "Maybe you're right, but I still have to go and inspect it myself." โ
"Of course." Ye Chen knew that Cai Yong was rigorous in his studies, and now of course it was impossible to change his position because of his words, but it also touched him. โงโโงโ.๏ผ.
Why did Ye Chen discuss these things with Cai Yong, because he just planned to use the perspective of the people to change history and let the people participate in changing history, he was doing it, of course someone needed to speak for them.
"General Ye, now that you are famous all over the world, you will soon be able to make a marquis and pay homage to the general, have you ever considered breaking away from Zhang Rang and not acting for the tiger." Cai Yong couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, although he invited Ye Chen over, it didn't mean that he accepted him.
"Whether it's Zhang Rang or He Jin, even if the Shi clan group represented by Yuan Kui is actually the same in essence, but the degree is different, none of them have really done a good thing for the people, and it is the same which group I join. But if I had been a maverick and had not dealt with any of them, I would have been in the high position I am today, and I would have been able to protect the people with the power of my hands. โ
"No, they will only fight for power in the DPRK and China, fighting back and forth every day, and talking about not the people every day. So it's the same for everyone I'm joining, the key is how do I do it? Is it to fish and flesh the people, or to survive for the people. โ
Ye Chen did not refute Cai Yong's words, he essentially belonged to the scholar class, and the angle he considered was naturally different from Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's words made Cai Yong unable to refute, although he was not in the court, he also knew the affairs of the court, and he also knew that being an official did not rely on one of the camps, then he was rootless and would be replaced at any time, let alone want to do something.
But he was deeply disgusted with eunuchs and relatives making power, so he couldn't accept Ye Chen's statement, although he felt that what he said was right, and Cai Yong's ideological system collapsed with one sentence, and all the previous views were not necessarily right if they were thought about from a different angle.
