Next, what Li Ru is going to visit is the official who is really in charge of the Dongguan book collection, and Zhang Zai's father-in-law - Cai Yong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Cai Yong since 170 A.D. into the East View, and many years in the Dongguan School book, but also participated in the revision of the "Dongguan Han Ji", at the same time, Cai Yong collected the history of the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately did not see the written down for the post-history, only the "Lingji" and the Ten Meanings, and supplemented the 42 articles of the biography, and then because of Li Dao's messy scattering, most of them were not preserved.

Chang'an as the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, although more than 100 years ago, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuding capital Luoyang, but the scale and style of the palace are modeled after the palace of Chang'an, and naturally there is also a Dongguan Palace.

Dongguan building is tall and gorgeous, the top floor of the high pavilion 12 rooms, surrounded by palaces and pavilions, green trees, the environment is elegant, it is the main place for Emperor Zhang, Emperor He, for the court to collect books and archives and revise historical books.

After Cai Yong brought the books in the Dongguan Hall to Chang'an, the collection of books in the Dongguan Hall of Ruoyang was naturally placed here, and this is also the place where Cai Yong works on weekdays.

In order to show respect, Li Ru specially ordered someone to report it, otherwise, with his current status, except for a few places, it is basically unimpeded.

Not long after, a small yellow door took Li Ru into the office of Dongguan Cai Yong.

"Lord Cai." For Cai Yong, Li Ru still respects him very much, after all, Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and he has many teachings for the children of the poor family, and his reputation has spread far and wide.

"It's Wen You, what's the matter?" Cai Yong looked at Li Ru expressionlessly, even if Li Ru was a matchmaker and married his daughter to Zhang Zai, and from his daughter's letter, happiness was also revealed, and Cai Yong was also relieved that his daughter had found a good home.

But what he did before was too poisonous, even if he was his daughter's matchmaker, his attitude was only a little better than before.

"Ru came here this time, and I asked Lord Cai for some books." Since it was for Cai Yong's collection of treasures, Li Ru also lowered his posture.

"What book?" Cai Yong stared at Li Ru as if he was guarding against thieves.

"The collection of books in the Eastern View." Li Ru didn't seem to see Cai Yong's expression, and continued.

"No way!" When Cai Yong heard Li Ru's words, he was like a fried cat, about to jump up.

Li Ru looked at Cai Yong, who was furious, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Rest your anger, stop your anger." At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect Cai Yong to read these books so much.

"Lord Cai, aren't they just a few books......" Li Ru comforted Cai Yong. While continuing to ask for the book.

"What is a few books, they are the lifeblood of my Han scholars." Cai Yong unceremoniously interrupted Li Ru's words.

"Yes, yes, it is the lifeblood of my Han scholars, but these books are useless in the hands of Lord Cai, so it is better to give them to Confucianism, how about it?" Li Ru hurriedly agreed.

"No way!"

"Then what will I do, so that the adults can agree to me."

"Not by any means!"

Li Ru wore out the skin of his mouth, but Cai Yong just didn't let go, and Li Ru was so angry that he almost tied Cai Yong up.

"Cai Yong, do you think that XX is here to entertain you, if it weren't for the world's poor scholars, for your son-in-law, do you think that XX would beg you in such a low voice?" Li Ru was also angry, since Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang, when did he plead with others like this, but now he was prevaricated by Cai Yong in every way, if it weren't for Zhang Zai's face, he would have tied Cai Yong up and transported the book away.

"Wait, you said son-in-law, how could Zide ask you for a book?" Cai Yong asked.

"Look, this is a letter from your son-in-law to a certain person." Li Ru threw the paper on Cai Yong's desk.

Cai Yong picked up the letter suspiciously, glanced at it roughly, and when he saw the book mentioned in the letter, he asked excitedly: "Is what is written on it true?" ”

"See for yourself!" Li Ru slapped the book in his sleeve on the table.

Cai Yong opened several Analects in turn, looking at the clear ink Chinese characters on them, exuding a strong fragrance of ink, and each Chinese character was exactly the same.

Cai Yong trembled his hands, stroked the writing again and again, his eyes were full of tears, and said, "This ...... This is really a Confucian artifact! This is really a Confucian artifact! ”

Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly asked, "Then you agreed?" ”

"No way!" Although Cai Yong was excited, he still refused.

As a Han minister, he always had his own bottom line in his heart, and the collection of books in Dongguan was used as a place for the Han family to store archives, classics, and to engage in proofreading and writing, and no one could use it privately unless it was ordered by the emperor himself.

However, Cai Yong changed his words and said: "But the old man has a few carts of books and Janes, and it doesn't hurt to give them to his son-in-law." ”

Fortunately, the old man relented!

Li Ru also took advantage of Cai Yong's relaxation, and then said: "Lord Cai, I'm afraid these cars of books are not enough." Then he rolled his eyes again and said, "Why don't you do this, don't move the materials in Dongguan, lend him all the books, and when the time comes, the books will be printed, and then ask him to send a set of original and printed books to Chang'an, how about it?" ”

Cai Yong didn't directly refuse this time, frowned, thought for a while, and said: "This is a compromise solution, but I want to send it to Bingzhou in person, speaking of which, this son-in-law has not seen it yet, and his daughter has been married for so long, so I miss him a little." ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Neither of them was a procrastinator, and after discussing it, they directly began to sort out all the books.

The various books in the Dongguan were divided into categories, and they were carried to the door by the order, and then loaded on one carriage after another.

A day later, Cai Yong set off from the north gate of Chang'an with dozens of carts, escorted by an army of hundreds of people, to Jinyang.

The carriage was filled with all kinds of books, there were many rare and unique books, with some years, it was easy to be damaged, in order not to cause inevitable losses, the journey was cautious, so the group walked very slowly.

Four or five days later, Cai Yong and others walked to Jinyang.

At this time, except for the party, other places in Bingzhou are no longer the same as they were, more than ten years ago, he stayed in Bingzhou for a period of time, it was really a desolate place.

The people did not have enough to eat, they did not have enough clothes, and their lives were extremely difficult.

But now, the people live a prosperous life, and there is quite a scene of no way, which is completely different from what he saw when he merged the state.

Zhang Zai was waiting at the gate of Jinyang City early in the morning, and he received a letter from Li Ru, saying that his father-in-law, Cai Yong, had gone to Jinyang with a large collection of books.

For this reason, Zhang Zai specially ordered the bad people to stare at the wind and grass in Taiyuan County day and night, and as soon as there was news, he immediately reported to the state pastor's office, just a quarter of an hour ago, Zhang Zai received a report that Cai Yong and others were less than an hour away from Jinyang City.
