Cai Yong and Cai Zhen's lives were saved for the time being, because Liu Hong ordered the case to be taken over by Captain Si Li, and the two of them were taken away from Luoyang Prison by Fu Quan himself as soon as possible, and imprisoned in the prison of Captain Si Li.

Of course, this is to protect the lives of the two, in the prison of Sili Lieutenant, everything is overlooked, and it is very difficult for outsiders to do anything else, after all, the prisons of all dynasties are not safe places, and I can't guarantee that Yang Qiu and others will send someone to assassinate the uncle and nephew of the Cai family.

Of course, as for the outcome of the case, it will take time to investigate, and Fu Quan has to go to the palace to guard under the thanks of the Cai family's uncle and nephew, Shi Shiran left.

On this day, Fuquan was on duty in the West Mansion, at this time Emperor Liu Hong was resting in the imperial garden, and he was accompanied by an elegant young man who was nearly thirty years old, with a strange appearance, and looked like an upright and resolute atmosphere. His name is Yang Qi, the word is Ting, he was born in Hongnong Yang's family, he has few ambitions, he does not take the name of his family as his family, he befriends Yingyan, does not communicate with Haoyou, and runs a private school in the middle of the Jingshe in Henan Province, and there are often about 200 disciples. Not long ago, he was worshiped by Liu Hong as a servant, and he also had an identity, but he was the great-great-grandson of Emperor An's famous minister "Mr. Sizhi" and "Confucius Yang Boqi of Guanxi", so Sikong Yang Ci's nephew.

Bo Qi is the expression of the late Taiwei Yang Zhen, Fu Quan has always been obsessed with this word, why? In the next generation, when a man names him "erection", is he saying that he can't do it? Especially this person is also surnamed Yang, in the dark, let him think of the word "impotence", and he can't help but feel that among the ancients, there are many old drivers.

In the waiting, the official rank is more than two thousand stones, there is no fixed number, it is an adviser to the emperor around the service, the status is respected, the emperor is out, the servant is a rider, the emperor enters, then the attendant is left and right, and the emperor is simply inseparable, close to the eunuch in the regular servant. Especially in the suburbs, when the emperor travels by law, the secretary of state can not be in the emperor's book, but the servant can, the emperor will choose a knowledgeable servant to ride, and the rest of the servant will ride behind the emperor's car, and the other officials of the book, only Henan Yin, Zhijinwu, Luoyang Ling as the leader, Fengche Duwei for the emperor to drive.

The book is the honor guard of the emperor's law, and the major events of the country can accompany the emperor at any time on this occasion, which shows its importance to the emperor. Therefore, courtiers often use words such as "intimate", "left and right", and "confidant" to describe the servant, and Yang Qi can be appointed to this position by Liu Hong, which also shows Liu Hong's trust and favor in him.

In recent days, Liu Hong has been in a good mood, because where did the queen get the news that Song was pregnant, which made him happy. Although Liu Hong doesn't like Queen Song, and even being able to get her pregnant this time is due to an accident, this does not prevent him from knowing that he may have one more child, he has lost too many children, too many died early, and now the survivors are only a man and a woman, how can this make him feel at ease?

No one knows if "Shi Hou" will die early, Liu Hong doesn't want to be like Emperor Huan Liu Zhi, gave birth to so many children, and finally survived three daughters, and there is not even an heir, but then again, if it weren't for this, how could Liu Hong, the emperor's throne, sit on?

Glancing at Yang Qi, who had just been with him for a short time, thinking about something, Liu Hong asked casually: "Yang Qing, how can I be like Emperor Huan?" Fu Quan, who was on duty in the West Mansion, heard what Liu Hong said, his face was strange, Liu Hong didn't know that this Lord Yang was notoriously difficult to mess with, Liu Hong asked him how he compared with Emperor Huan, and there would definitely be no good answer, and Liu Hong would not suffer a dumb loss because of this.

Sure enough, Yang Qi listened to Liu Hong's question, raised his eyebrows, and then was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied in a positive voice: "Your Majesty is to Emperor Huan, and it is also like Shun Bide Tang Yao." ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was full of embarrassment, Liu Hong's face was displeased, and the people in the West Mansion who could hear the connotation of Yang Qi's words were all forced to smile on their faces, and at the same time they admired Yang Qi for daring to speak like this in front of the emperor, Fuquan was no exception, compared with other palace temple people and palace maids, because they were on duty next to Liu Hong and were close, the smile on their faces that began was not immediately contained, and they were directly looked at by Liu Hong.

Immediately, I heard Liu Hong say to Yang Qi unhappily: "Qing's strength, the true descendants of Yang Zhen, will return to the big bird after death." Then, as if he wanted to find a gas barrel, Liu Hong turned to Fu Quan and said, "Fu Qing, how can I be like Emperor Huan?" ”

Fu Quan was stunned after hearing this, but he couldn't laugh anymore in his heart, he secretly glanced at Yang Qi, and couldn't help hating him, because he had made a fool of himself this time and became the scapegoat for this "strong point", but when the emperor asked, he had to answer whatever he said, and he could only think about how to reply in his heart in order to make Liu Hong happy.

Yang Qi's response just now was very ingenious, as the saying goes, "turning around and scolding people", as we all know, Liu Hong amassed wealth, and used this to ridicule Emperor Huan Liu Zhi for not having private money, not being able to govern the family, and not being a home. Liu Hong asked Yang Qi this question, obviously wanting to be affirmed, he was indeed more capable than the first emperor Liu Zhi.

However, Yang Qi was very witty, neither humble nor arrogant, and skillfully avoided the "pit" in Liu Hong's question, but used Shun and Yao, the two legendary virtuous emperors, as an analogy to express the meaning of his words. If Liu Hong thinks that the first emperor Liu Zhiqiang is strong, then he is as strong as the first emperor, and if Liu Hong thinks that the first emperor is bad, then he is as bad as Liu Zhi.

This is also the reason why Fu Quan laughs, the pit dug by the emperor himself originally hoped that the courtiers would jump, but it was reversed by the courtiers, and he didn't have anything to reason with, isn't this exactly the same as the joke of "the cannon he made about himself, and he had to finish it with tears" in later generations? Full of laughter.

Liu Zhi in Liu Hong's mind is an emperor who is not as good as himself, so Liu Hong understood Yang Qi's words when he heard this, and his face was very unhappy, but the sentence "Qing is strong, the descendants of Yang Zhen are really the descendants, and he will be a big bird after death", it was not that Liu Hong was sarcastic about Yang Qi, but on the contrary, he praised him.

In this sentence, there are actually two allusions, the first, strengths.

This allusion comes from the body of Dong Xuan, the eldest sister of Liu Xiu when Liu Xiu, the eldest sister of Liu Xiu, was named the princess of Huyang, and her house slave absconded back to the princess's mansion after killing someone, Dong Xuan went to arrest people, but Liu Huang refused to hand over the murderer. One day, Liu Huang went out, and the murderous house slave drove with him, and Dong Xuan led someone to block the way, reprimanded Liu Huang for harboring the house slave, and then arrested the house slave and executed him on the spot.

This happened in Luoyang City, in broad daylight, there were too many onlookers, Liu Huang felt very faceless, so he went to his younger brother Emperor Liu Xiu to cry and ask for punishment of Dong Xuan. Liu Xiu was furious, so he asked Dong Xuan to be arrested and wanted to be beaten to death with a stick. Dong Xuan saw Liu Xiu and said, "I will die after I finish speaking." ”

Emperor Guangwu asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Dong Xuan said: "Your Majesty is holy, and the Han dynasty is prosperous, but he connives, and the slaves kill civilians in vain, so how can he rule the world?" Then he hit the pillar headlong, and immediately bled all over his face, but he did not lose his breath, Liu Xiu asked the eunuch to help Dong Xuan up, and asked Dong Xuan to kowtow to Liu Huang to admit his mistake, Dong Xuan refused, the eunuch pressed Dong Xuan's head on the side, and Dong Xuan resisted with both hands.

Seeing this, Princess Huyang said dissatisfiedly: "When Your Majesty was a citizen, he also hid fugitives and people who were executed, and the county officials did not dare to come to the door, but now as the Son of Heaven, he is afraid of a county order?" Emperor Guangwu smiled bitterly and said, "The Son of Heaven is different from the people. ”

After that, Emperor Guangwu asked Dong Xuan's head to be wrapped and gave him to eat at the Taiguan Mansion. After the meal, Dong Xuan put the bowl on the table, and Emperor Guangwu asked him what this meant.

Dong Xuan replied stiffly: "I don't dare to have a surplus of food, just like being loyal to my duties, sparing no effort, and not daring to have two hearts." ”

Liu Xiu knew that he was wronged, and was deeply moved by his spirit of responsibility and loyalty, so he had no choice but to order him to leave and reward him with 300,000 yuan. At the same time, Dong Xuan was called the "strong order", which means the hard-necked county order.

The second allusion is to recruit a big bird after death.

This allusion comes from Yang Qi's great-grandfather Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen is a famous minister of Emperor Liu Hu of the Han Dynasty, the official to the Tai Lieutenant, coinciding with the spring of the third year of Yanguang, Emperor An traveled east to Mount Tai, Fan Feng and others took the opportunity of the emperor to parade outside, and actually built a mansion.

Gao Shu, a rafter under Zhen, summoned the order of the master craftsman to inquire about it, and obtained evidence of the crimes of Fan Feng and others forging false edicts, so Yang Zhen prepared a chapter and waited for Emperor An to return to Beijing after his tour to play the matter.

Fan Feng and others were very frightened when they learned the news, and at that time, there happened to be a natural astrological change in Taibai's Pleiades. Fan Feng and others took the opportunity to blame Yang Zhen for this astrological change, and spread rumors to frame Yang Zhen in front of Emperor An, saying: "Since Zhao Teng's death, he has been deeply resentful; And the former officials of the Deng family have a heart of hatred. The implication is to frame Yang Zhen for being dissatisfied with the imperial court.

When Emperor An returned from his eastward journey and was about to choose the auspicious palace, he sent a messenger overnight to collect Yang Zhen's Taiwei Yin, so Yang Zhen closed the door and refused all guests to visit. Fan Feng and the others still felt that this was not enough to relieve their hatred, so they asked the general Geng Bao to play again, framing Yang Zhen for resentment against the imperial court's confiscation of his seal, and the crime of disobedience. Emperor An then issued an edict to send Yang Zhen back to his hometown.

So Yang Zhen received the edict, was dismissed and repatriated, immediately set off to return to his hometown, out of Luoyang City, on the way back to his hometown through the west of Luoyang City, when passing through the Jiyang Pavilion in the west of Luoyang City, he said generously and indignantly to his son and the doorman: "The dead are often divided. I am favored as the boss, the traitorous minister is cunning and can't be punished, the evil girl is chaotic and can't be forbidden, what face to see the sun and the moon again! On the day of death, the miscellaneous wood is used as the coffin, the cloth sheet is cut to cover the shape, do not return to the grave, and suddenly set up a shrine. Yang Zhen said this, but he was indignant that he had been wronged and could not kill the traitor, and then he left a suicide note in Jiyang Pavilion and committed suicide by taking poison.

After that, Fan Feng instructed Hongnong County Taishou Yiliang to deliberately not let Yang Zhen be buried, and the coffin was placed on the side of the road. They sent people to intercept Yang Zhen's hearse in Shaanxi County, and did not allow it to be transported back to his hometown, and parked the coffin on the side of the road, where he was exposed to the sun and rain for a long time. Yang Zhen's sons were punished with hard labor to deliver letters on behalf of the postman, and the people wept for them.

A year later, Emperor Liu Bao of Han Shun ascended the throne, Fan Feng, Zhou Guang and others were executed by Fufa, and Yang Zhen's protégés Yu Fang, Chen Yi and others wrote to Emperor Shun to request a re-investigation and handling of Yang Zhen's unjust case. At that time, the court praised Yang Zhen's integrity and loyalty, so Emperor Shun issued an edict to Yang Zhen to rehabilitate, and the grievances were revealed. On the day of the funeral, people from near and far came to attend the funeral in an endless stream to commemorate this good captain who was honest and honest, honest and selfless, hated as evil as hatred, and dared to speak out.

And on this day, a big bird flew in the sky, crying and crying in front of Yang Zhen's coffin, and flew away after the funeral.

To sum up, Liu Hong's sentence "Qing is strong, the descendants of Yang Zhen are really descendants, and he will return to the big bird after death" is praising Yang Qi, saying that he dares to disobey the emperor like Dong Xuan, and has the demeanor of his ancestors.

Yang Qi can answer so skillfully, but he is not punished by Liu Hong, which can be regarded as his ability, but because of this, he gave Fuquan a big problem.

Why?

With Yang Qi's "answer" in front, if Fu Quan said it in general, he would definitely not be pleased, after all, whether he said that Liu Hong was better than Liu Zhi, or Liu Zhi was better than Liu Hong, he would undoubtedly not be loved by Liu Hong, and if he wanted to answer at this time, he had to answer with new ideas.

However, at any given time, novelty is always the hardest to think of.

Thinking about it in his mind, suddenly, a flash of inspiration, thinking about something, Fu Quan saluted and replied: "Liu Ziqi reprimanded and accused the first emperor, the first emperor didn't care, but used it, now Cai Bo's words are disrespectful, but he does not lose his courtiers, why is Your Majesty angry?" Your Majesty is the first emperor, and it can be seen in general. ”

After the words were finished, Liu Hong's face was dark, and he looked at Fu Quan coldly without saying a word, but he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. And Yang Qi, who was accompanying him, was also surprised, after all, Yang Qi turned around and scolded Liu Hong, there was some suspicion of tricks, and Fu Quan's words directly said that Liu Hong was not as good as Emperor Huan, is this self-defeating?

However, if these words are related to the last time the court saved Cai Yong, it can be regarded as having another meaning.

It's just that the emperor will listen?

"'To receive the dirt of the country is to be the master of the society; The country is ominous, it is the king of the world', Lao Tzu said, I am now clear. Liu Hong suddenly showed joy on his face, muttered to himself, and then looked at Fuquan playfully without saying a word, until the sky was gloomy, and he didn't mention this matter, which made Fuquan a little monk and couldn't figure his head.

If you don't understand, you don't want to, anyway, I took Liu Tao's matter to compare Cai Yong, compared with Cai Yong's calligraphy, Liu Tao was on the book at that time Emperor Huan was comparable to Cai Yong's recital, and the rhetoric was much more intense, and compared with the famous "Public Security Sparse" from Hai Rui who criticized Emperor Jiajing a thousand years later, it was really better.

In the service, more than 2,000 stones. This note says: No staff. Serve left and right, praise and guide everyone, and the consultant responds. When the law is driven, one person who knows more will participate in the ride, and the rest will ride behind the car. There was originally a servant who shot a person, and Zhongxing turned into sacrificial wine, or put it or not. Excerpt from "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Hundred Official Chronicles III"
