"I wonder what the two gentlemen commanded?" Zhang Zai looked at the two people who were obviously waiting for him and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ma Riyan and the two looked at each other and smiled, and Ma Riyan asked, "Zide is going to go to the prison?" ”

Zhang Zai nodded and said, "I was preparing to go to welcome my father-in-law out of prison." ”

When he retired from the dynasty, Xiaohuangmen handed over two holy decrees to Zhang Zai, one of which was his letter of appointment and the other was Cai Yong's letter of pardon.

Ma Riyan proposed: "The old man and Yizhen are also going to greet Brother Bojiao, why don't we be companions?" ”

"Obey the sir's orders." Zhang Zai bowed.

……

The prison where Cai Yong was held was not far from the imperial city, and it was forbidden to run horses in the city, so the three of them sat in a carriage and went to the prison, and Wang Meng was sent outside the city to give orders to command the camp.

In the carriage, the three of them sat upright, Huangfu Song looked at Zhang Zai, and sighed: "Zide wants to take Brother Bo back to Bingzhou?" ”

Zhang Zai nodded and said, "Now that the power of Chang'an is in the hands of Wang Yun, it is difficult to ensure that he endangers his father-in-law's life again." ”

"The relationship between Zishi and Bo Jiao is good, I really don't know why I turn against him, and Zishi wants to go to Brother Bo and die." Ma Riyan sighed: "It's good that Bo Jiao leaves Chang'an, and he can do some learning with peace of mind." ”

Jang Jae didn't answer, and listened quietly.

Seeing that Zhang Zai didn't speak, Ma Riyan also shook his head and stopped talking.

But Huangfu Song on the side, seeing the awkward atmosphere in the car, took the initiative to find a word: "I heard that Zide has a paper book in his hand, I wonder if Zide can give some to the old man?" ”

Even after Ma Riyan heard about it, he also echoed the request for some books, Zhang Zai naturally refused the request of the two, nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, send a few copies to the two gentlemen after I go back." ”

"The matter is settled, and we will exchange the books in our house." The two of them did not give him the slightest chance to refuse, and directly clapped the decision.

"Then thank you, gentlemen." Zhang Zai arched his hand.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the carriage began to be active, and Ma Riyan began to ask about the current situation of the state, Zhang Zai naturally would not hide it, especially after the incorporation of the Southern Xiongnu, they were incorporated into the Han nationality and distributed to them land, such a big gesture aroused the admiration of the two.

However, Huangfu Song was still a little worried, he had dealt with the Huns, and he knew the ambitions of the Southern Huns, and no one knew that one day he would suddenly rebel.

Ma Riyan smiled and said: "Yizhen doesn't have to worry, since he does this, there must be a deep meaning, right, hurry up, let the old man and others see Zide's true ability." ”

The two looked at Zhang Zai, their eyes flashing with a light of inquiry.

Zhang Zai smiled bitterly: "Where is there any deep meaning, Mr. praised it falsely." ”

"Zide deceives me." Both of them looked incredulous, although they didn't know how Zhang Zai arranged it, but with their intuition, they felt that Zhang Zai's arrangement had some deep meaning.

"Since the two gentlemen want to hear it, let's just talk about it." Jang Jae took a deep breath and said, "Jae's idea is very simple, first provide them with food and land, teach them to plant, and then forcibly change their living habits so that they live in towns and no longer graze all the time. ”

"If this continues, ten years later, twenty years later, one day, they will be slowly assimilated and become Han people, at that time, there will be no Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, and it is the current Xiongnu people, let them rebel, they will not do it, let alone get used to the life after farming, when the time comes, as long as the officials do not force the people to rebel, they will not rebel."

Ma Riyan and Huangfu Song were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect Zhang Zai's layout to be so far-reaching, and his appetite was so big, he wanted to completely eliminate the Xiongnu, this is a race that even Emperor Wu failed to eliminate, which can be called a masterpiece of the world.

Finally, after a few more moments, the carriage stopped, and the coachman who was driving the carriage said that it had arrived.

Zhang Zai jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Ma Riyan and the two down, and the three of them walked towards the prison.

"The cell is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to trespass."

Zhang Zai took out the holy decree in his arms and said: "A certain is the general of Zhengbei, and the state pastor, on the order of His Majesty, came to release Cai Shizhong. ”

When the sergeant guarding the gate saw the holy decree, he quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know that the general has arrived, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Zhang Zai held up the holy decree and asked, "Do you need to verify it?" ”

The two looked at each other, saying they didn't dare, and then got out of the way.

"The two gentlemen waited a moment and drove my father-in-law out of the cell." Jang Jae said to the two who were about to enter the cell.

The two nodded, stood in place, and waited silently.

Cai Yong is a contemporary Confucian, even if he was imprisoned, he did not receive abuse, but the cell was dark and damp after all, with a strange smell, so Zhang Zai naturally quickened his pace, walked to the cell where Cai Yong was held, and asked him to come out.

Seeing that Cai Yong was a little weak and had no injuries, Zhang Zai also breathed a sigh of relief, first made a big salute to Cai Yong, and then took out the prepared clothes and prepared to serve Cai Yong to put them on.

Seeing Zhang Zai, Cai Yong was still a little puzzled, why did his son-in-law run to Chang'an and enter the cell.

Cai Yong saw that Zhang Zai wanted to serve him and dress, so he immediately refused, and said, "Why did Zide come here?" ”

Zhang Zai briefly said that Li Dao and others attacked Chang'an, and he sent troops to relieve the siege of Chang'an, and then bowed: "Please also ask your father-in-law to change his clothes and be released from prison with him." ”

Cai Yong shook his head and said, "Now the old man is guilty of a crime and can't go out." ”

Zhang Zai could only hand over the holy decree to Cai Yong and said, "Please also ask your father-in-law to change your clothes, and Ma Taifu and Huangfu Taiwei are waiting outside." ”

After reading the holy decree, Cai Yong bowed in the direction of the imperial city, tears flowing.

Leaning less, Zhang Zai continued to serve Cai Yong to dress, this time Cai Yong did not refuse again, after changing clothes, Zhang Zai helped Cai Yong out of the cell.

When Ma Riyan and Huangfu Song saw Cai Yong, they both bowed and said, "Brother Bo, it's been good lately. ”

Cai Yong returned the salute and said: "Look at the two of you again, Yong is all right." ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Huangfu Song said: "This place is not far from Song's mansion, so please go to the cold house to talk about it." ”

The three of them also had no opinions, so they walked towards Huangfu Song's mansion.

When he arrived at Huangfu Song's mansion, Cai Yong went to bathe first, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Fu Song prepared some wine and food to wash the dust for Cai Yong.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's interest gradually increased, and they began to discuss knowledge, but at this time, Zhang Zai carefully studied the books left by Cai Yong, and was able to insert a few sentences from time to time, or deal with the problems of the three people, and at the same time, combined with what they learned in later generations, put forward some points that made the three of them shine.

At the end of the banquet, Huangfu Song suddenly bowed to Zhang Zai and said, "Zide, the old man has something to ask for, and he asked Zide to agree." ”

Huangfu Song's visit frightened Zhang Zai, and he hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time bowed back: "I don't know what Mr. commands, Zai must do his best." ”
