(28) The argument between father and son
It turned out that the servant knew that there was someone on the side, and that the matter that the master and the two were talking about was very secret, so he looked at the middle-aged scholar and the young man on the side, but the two talked attentively, and did not see it, and it was too late at this time, and he could not help but frown.
But I saw two people flashing at the foot of the mountain, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with a handsome face, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, but she was delicate and infinite, it was Liu Zhi and Zhao Yan.
The middle-aged scholar was relieved to see that they were two young people, thinking that what he had just said was not too much of an obstacle. But seeing that Liu Zhi was extraordinary and very noble, he didn't dare to underestimate it, and seeing that the girl was not an ordinary person, he asked respectfully, "I don't know if the two little friends have their names, can you tell them?" β
Emperor Liu Zhi's honor, it was inconvenient to tell his name directly, and he read that the middle-aged man was disrespectful before, and he was angry in his heart, so he didn't say anything, just looked at the three middle-aged scholars.
"The younger brother's surname is Cai Mingyong, the word is uncle, the younger brother is polite." The young man said very politely, bowed to Liu Zhi and the others, and then said to the side with his hand, "This is the father, and the one is the servant of the family......"
Zhao Yan was quite angry when she heard the middle-aged man say bad things about Liu Zhi before, but after hearing it, she knew that she mainly resented Liang Ji, and this uncle didn't know that Brother Zhi also hated Liang Ji, so he was angry with Brother Zhi. She is kind by nature, although her parents died, and the people she met such as Aunt Fan and Cao Teng all cared for her, and Liu Zhi was even more affectionate to her, and she guessed the benefits of everyone, and felt that this young man was very respectful, so he looked at Liu Zhi and said.
"The little girl's father's surname is Zhao, Uncle Cai, Brother Cai, hello, this ......" Zhao Yan returned the salute to the two, looking at Liu Zhi, she didn't know if Liu Zhi wanted to tell her name, so she didn't say it.
"Lonely...... The surname is Liu. Liu Zhi's previous word "lonely" was said very lightly and quickly, and the three of them heard it, but Zhao Yan was sneering in his heart.
"It turned out to be Brother Liu and Miss Zhao, who met in this wilderness, and it was really fate." Cai Yong saw that Liu Zhi didn't want to say his name, so he didn't think it was strange and said.
"The two of us wanted to go west, but because we were separated from the servants at home on the way, we stopped here and waited for them to come to find us......" Liu Zhi said lightly, he thought that the father and son must be strange about their origins, and he could only say something, although it was "not exhaustive", it was not "untrue".
"The younger brother is Chen Liuren's family, and his father is also going west to Yixian, it is the Qingming season, my father and I will go green, how do I know that the younger brother's mother is infected with a bad disease, and the family will rush to report it, and can only turn back to the ......" These Liu Zhi and the two had heard a little just now, and then nodded.
"Brother Liu and Miss Zhao are hungry? How about having some cold food with my father and son, today is the Cold Food Festival. Cai Yong saw that the two of them were not carrying a package next to them, so he invited.
At this time, it was noon, and Liu Zhi and the two said in their hearts that it had been a day since they were in distress yesterday, and the two of them hadn't eaten much last night, but they didn't feel hungry at all at this time, which was really strange. But they all felt that they should eat something, so they agreed.
And when the servant took a bamboo basket from his horse, he took out a sackcloth mat and laid it on the ground, and set it for food, and all the people took their seats, and each of them ate some cold food.
After a few people had eaten, Liu Zhi said, "What the old man just said about Liang Ji doing a lot of evil and causing chaos to the dynasty is really a great crime!" The middle-aged scholar surnamed Cai was afraid of being heard by the two of them because of what he said before, and his heart fell slightly.
"But I heard that the Empress Dowager Liang is already in the sky, and she is still in power with the emperor, I don't know what the old man thinks of the saint today?" Just because the middle-aged scholar said that Liu Zhi was young and immoral, Liu Zhi had always been obsessed, so he couldn't help asking.
"How dare our Qianshou people talk about the Son of Heaven, the son laughed." Although the middle-aged scholar is upright, it is not good to talk about the Son of Heaven in front of outsiders, and at this time he is still near the left of Kyoto, if he is not careful, the whole family will suffer, so he does not answer what Liu Zhi said.
"The old man said that the Son of Heaven was young, and it was a few years ago, and today the son follows the will of the ancestors, learns the words of the ancestors, and does not lose virtue, and one day, he will definitely kill none of the traitors of the Liang family!" When the middle-aged scholar heard Liu Zhi's words, he was shocked, this son dared to say such things, but it was in line with my words, but the young man didn't know the height of the sky, and his mouth was not blocked.
Zhao Yan looked at Ailang's ambitious, resolute and serious expression, and knew that it was his long-cherished wish to eradicate the Liang family, and he was even more convinced of it, knowing that it would be realized in the future, so he stared at Liu Zhi with a pair of wonderful eyes, full of admiration.
Liu Zhi continued, "If one day, the Son of Heaven expelled the Liang family, and Brother Cai is Hu Sikong's senior brother, would he be willing to enter the court as an official?" When Liu Zhi listened to the conversation between Cai's father and son, he heard that Cai Yong wanted to become an official, but he did not want to belong to the Liang family, which showed that he was not a person who only sought fame and fortune, but a person who was sincerely loyal to the Han family; Moreover, this person is also a student of Hu Guang, thinking that although this Hu Guang is very slippery, he has real talent and learning, this person has not joined Liang Ji at this time, he is pro-government, and the power of the DPRK and China is really pitiful, why not take advantage of this person now.
Cai Yong was shocked when he heard Liu Zhi say this, thinking that Liu Zhi was the same age as himself, what kind of identity did he want to serve the Son of Heaven, seeing him say this, he was a scholar and scribe who wanted to serve the country? Is he the son of the Han family? Or is it an official sent by the Son of Heaven to solicit forces everywhere? It's not like this age, he couldn't have imagined that it was the Han Tianzi himself standing in front of him.
Cai Yong saw that Liu Zhi's face was very serious, and he knew that he was not asking casually. After pondering for a moment, Zhengse said, "If he is a saint in the day, he is magnanimous, he admires the heroic and great, and does not fall to the ground, and the virtuous one builds the prime minister and tears the soil, and the one who envy him Ronglu is given." Yu also returned to Tu to come, the benefits of the world, the indefatigable work, the Rong family sect at this time, the immortal order? What is it to keep the trouble and not to reach it? β
What Cai Yong said is that if the Son of Heaven is generous and holy in the future, can revere the heroes, make the talents happy, and will not fall into the dust and not be seen, then those with great virtue will be able to make meritorious contributions and be crowned as prime ministers, and those with extraordinary talents will enjoy Ronglu and receive rewards with peace of mind. If this is the case, how can I still stick to my poverty and not make a good name for the sake of establishing a meritorious career, glorifying my ancestors, and leaving a good name.
Cai Yong said, "Therefore, Yizhi has the power of the Ding, Zhong Ni has the words of the whip, Ningzi has the song of the Qing merchants, and there is the matter of the cattle in a hundred miles." If the husband is so, then the sage is interesting, and the ancients are also wise. Boy He De, dare not follow suit? β
It is said that in the Shang period, Yi Yin carried the cooking tripod to show off his self-recommendation, Confucius also imagined that he would act as a lowly follower with a whip in his hand to seek wealth and wealth, Ning Qi sang a bleak song of the reverse journey in order to attract attention, and Baili Xi was willing to humble himself to feed the cattle in order to see Qin Mugong. These are all done by the ancient sages, according to which they express their aspirations. Cai Yong compared himself with the sages, that is, he said that he was willing to emulate the sages and be loyal to the Han family.
Liu Zhi and Zhao Yan couldn't help but admire Cai Yong when they heard him say this, "This son is worthy of being Hu Guang's protΓ©gΓ©, and he knows people." Liu Zhi was even more relieved, if he could get this person, it would be a great help.
But at this moment, the middle-aged scholar on the side said lightly, "My son is wrong, the so-called benefits of seeing warmth and ignorance, and forgetting the harm of Zhaozhe; The success of specialization must be achieved, and the loser who suddenly falls has been. In the past, since Taiji, the beginning of the monarch and the minister, there is the Hongshou of the Xi Emperor, and the Tang and Yu are at the time. The three generations of Long, there are also Ji Xi, five uncles to support the emblem, diligent and caressing. Yu Si has fallen, the sky net is longitudinal, the people are galloping, the king is broken, Tai Chi is gone, the monarch and the minister are collapsing, and the top and bottom are disintegrated. So the wise man deceits, and the debater speaks. The martial arts are strategic, and the warriors are sharp. β
The middle-aged scholar said, "Son, you only see this vague and unclear immediate benefit, but you forget the clear and clear disaster; Focusing only on the deeds that can be established, but ignoring the harm of falling down. β
When Cai Yong heard his father say this, he couldn't help but say to the middle-aged scholar, "Ask my father to teach!" β
The middle-aged scholar said slowly, "In the past, at the beginning of heaven and earth, the monarch and the minister were first built, there was the long-term peace of the Fuxi clan, Yao Shun to the peak, and then the Xia and Shang dynasties also had a prosperous time, and then the five tyrants supported the weak Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period, but after that, the legal net was abandoned, morality collapsed, the royal road was no longer there, and the order between the monarch and the minister collapsed. At that time, the wise men skillfully used the tricks of power and deceit, the discerning people lobbied and preached everywhere, the martial artists were reckless and brave, and the warriors only went around fighting and killing. β
The middle-aged scholar said, "Or draw a strategy and make a thousand gold, or talk about Chongchao and Xi Ruiju." The six seals of the balance are falling, and the followers are displaced. Long Gui Xi Xi, accumulate wealth without cliffs, according to the opportunity, in order to forget the danger. Fuhua is away from the roots and wilts, the strips are dry and withered, the women are lewd and lewd, and the scholars are innocent. People destroy their fullness, their spirits are sick, their profits begin to sprout, and the harm gradually becomes their teeth. β
"Some people are entangled in a lot of money for planning a brilliant idea, and some people are rewarded for lobbying for once. The horizontal Su Qinpei Six Kingdoms Seal is prominent, and Zhang Yi, who is vertical, is also dazzling with a seal on his waist. Suddenly he has gained many honors, his wealth is incalculable, he is only opportunistic, and he forgets all kinds of evils. Flowers wither away from the pedicles, and branches die when they leave the trees. Women dressed up as bewitching indulgents, and scholars who turned their backs on the Word would suffer. Everyone slandered their fame and fortune, and the gods hated their deeds, and only then did welfare appear, and evil began to sprout. β
Liu Zhi frowned deeply on the side of these words, and said hatefully in his heart, "This guy is really hateful, at the beginning, he said that I was young and immoral, and I persuaded his son to be moved, so he poured cold water on his head, saying that this matter is not only useless, but full of disasters, how can this be reasonable." His face was gloomy, but he saw how Cai Yong replied.
Cai Yong was full of enthusiasm but was coldly spoken by his father in a few words, and it was not unreasonable to think in his heart that what his father said, today's Liang family is powerful, if he doesn't want to share the worries of the Han family, even the teacher can only succumb to the Liang family, what can I do? Before he made his achievements, he suffered first, and now his mother is suffering from a serious disease, so he must put filial piety first, frowning and pondering for a long time and sighing, "What my father said is that my son should go home and concentrate on supporting his mother." β
"Brother Liu, when he is the master of the Holy Dynasty, the younger brother will do his best to serve the court." Cai Yong turned to Liu Zhidao.
"What a 'He Sun Lord Holy Rule'!" Liu Zhi saw Cai Yong like this, knew his intentions, snorted coldly, and stopped paying attention to Cai's father and son.
The middle-aged scholar saw that it was boring to stay here, so he and Liu Zhi said goodbye to the two of them, Liu Zhi didn't care anymore, Zhao Yan said to Cai's father and son, "Thank you Uncle Cai and Brother Cai for your meal." Seeing that Liu Zhi was displeased, she didn't dare to say more, and watched the three of them go away.
