Chapter 40: Cai Yong

Luoyang, as the economic center of the Han Dynasty, the political and cultural center, has a prosperity that is incomparable to that of any city. It is a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles, and it is a place where countless literati and writers praise it to the fullest.

Today's Han Dynasty is like a dying old man, looking old and weak. However, as the political center of the Han Dynasty, although it is not young, it is like a mature woman, with endless mature style, which makes countless people linger on it.

Those who settle down in the village want to go to the county seat, and those who settle down in the county town want to go to the provincial capital and settle down in the provincial capital will have the ultimate goal of Luoyang. Therefore, Luoyang is the final gathering place for everyone.

"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen, Chu Wei, Jiang Shen, Han Yang...... "In Luoyang City now, no matter where you are, you will always hear some children hiding in the corner and playing chanting extremely rhyming four words. Of course, in this era, there was no four-word rhythm poem, and the reason why it was called four words was because of the four characters and one sentence, which was catchy to read.

Cai Yong, a tragic character. A great writer, calligrapher, musician. He was a good collector of books in his life, and in his later years, he collected 10,000 volumes, and later gave it to Wang Cang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an.

The reason why he is sad is because Cai Yong is a person who is suitable for learning but not for being an official. The ups and downs of his life are all because a mouth has never been covered. So much so that his fate hovered between life and death, and later became the official of Zuo Zhonglang.

When Cai Yong was an official, there was a supernatural incident in the court. When Emperor Ling went to court as usual, suddenly the wind in the hall was blowing, and a big green snake fell from the sky, opening its huge mouth, and a pair of blood-red eyes faced Emperor Han Ling, and in an instant, Emperor Han Ling was not calm, and shouted tremblingly: "Help, save ......"

At this time, the ministers were not sitting on the ground, just with these people's old arms and legs, it was not enough for the giant snake in front of them to plug between their teeth, who would dare to save them. At this time, Cai Yong was in danger, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Help, help." ”

said that he wanted to run forward, but the giant snake turned his head and glared at Cai Yong, Cai Yong was really scared at this time. It was a pair of eyes full of blood, full of violence, full of countless negative emotions. Cai Yong was stared at tightly by these eyes, as if Cai Yong moved, and the giant snake would fly and pounce.

The warriors outside the palace gate heard Cai Yong's rescue and rushed to the door. At this time, the giant snake suddenly disappeared. It was as if it appeared out of thin air, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Emperor Ling of Han was so frightened that he did not go to court for many days. Everyone was also frightened, and then slowly after taking various requiem drugs, the Spirit Emperor slowly returned to normal.

Emperor Ling, who returned to normal, first issued an edict to reward Cai Yong severely, and Cai Yong's performance that day made Emperor Ling of Han feel grateful. Later, he issued an edict to summon Cai Yong, Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci, Counselor Ma Riyan, Counselor Zhang Hua, and Taishi Lingshan Yang to Jinshangmen, enter the Chongde Palace, and ask Cao Jie and Wang Fu, the regular attendants, to ask them about the disaster and the methods that should be taken to eliminate the accident.

Everyone is a famous old oilman in the officialdom, and they are even ten permanent servants who came to ask, but no one answered in person, just used incomprehensible sentences such as scriptures and histories to talk nonsense. Basically, Cao Jie and Wang Fu really don't understand it, and they can't play it in fact. Of course, Emperor Ling was also confused.

However, Emperor Ling of Han, as the Son of Heaven and the supreme ruler of the entire Han Dynasty, could see at a glance why those old oilmen said these things that no one understood. Emperor Han Ling was a little annoyed that he was careless for a while, and he actually sent those few things to ask, of course those ministers would not tell the truth.

Emperor Ling asked Cai Yong again: "I don't know what the blame is for the recent catastrophe and change. The court was anxious, and I was also afraid. When I interviewed the ministers, I wanted to hear some advice, but they were all tight-lipped and refused to do their best. Because you have a profound knowledge of the scriptures, I specifically ask you that you should clarify the gains and losses, point out the main points of politics, and do not only say no, or doubt or fear. All the answers are according to the scriptures, and I will keep it secret for you. ”

To tell the truth, Emperor Ling still has a set, and when he saw that the ministers couldn't ask anything, he found a breakthrough from Cai Yong. In order to be afraid that Cai Yong would be perfunctory, he gave Cai Yong a guarantee in advance, so that he would have no worries.

Cai Yong thinks that the Spirit Emperor at this moment has a look of repentance. The heart is overjoyed, if the Spirit Emperor works hard, the Han will be saved.

So I carefully filled out the recital form: 1. The interference of women and eunuchs in political affairs is one of the reasons for the strangeness.

2. Tai Lieutenant Zhang Hao, Guanglu Xun Weizhang, Changshui Lieutenant Zhao Xuan, Tunqi Lieutenant Gai Sheng and others were corrupt and bent the law, and should be beheaded to set an example.

3. Guo Xi, the court captain, Qiao Xuan, the Guanglu doctor, and Liu Chong, the former Tai Lieutenant, all have talents that have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and His Majesty can consult him on political affairs. If His Majesty agrees to these three things one by one, the Han Dynasty will be thriving.

The world is impermanent, Emperor Ling sighed very much after reading the chapter, and when he got up to go to the toilet, the chapter was peeked at by Cao Jie in the back, and he leaked all the content to the people left and right, causing the matter to leak. The people who Cai Yong thought that he should be deposed hated him very much and tried to retaliate.

So Cai Yong's life in the court is getting more and more difficult, whether someone comes out to impeach him. Emperor Ling understood what was going on, and he was a little ashamed of Cai Yong, so for these things, he was still more biased towards Cai Yong, so Cai Yong was also happy. It's rare to talk about things in the court.

However, although Cai Yong has been impeached several times by officials and eunuchs in the DPRK and China, his reputation in Shilin is skyrocketing. The people of the world hate the Ten Standing Servants very much, but no one dares to publicly impeach, Cai Yong's move makes the world worship. In addition, Cai Yong himself is a great writer, so his reputation in officialdom is not obvious, but he is in the world. For a time, scholars took Cai Yong as a model, and there was an endless stream of people visiting Cai Yong.

On this day, Cai Yong returned from the middle of the court, and the sentences recited by the street corner children he accidentally listened to, at first he did not feel strange, but the more he listened, the more surprised he felt, the piercing Chinese body had never heard of before, four characters in a column, each column was extremely rhyming, sounding catchy.

"Cai Fu, stop." Cai Yong, who was sitting in the car, shouted at the official Cai Fu.

Cai Yong opened the door curtain and said, "Cai Fu, what are those children carrying?" ”

Cai Fu is Cai Yong's old housekeeper, and he has been staying in Cai Yong's house as a housekeeper since Cai Yong's father. For the sake of being very loyal, deep respect for Cai Yong.

"It seems to be a hundred family names." Cai Fu said with some uncertainty.

"Family name? How I haven't heard of it. Go back to your home for a while and see if there's anything for sale, buy a copy and come back. Let's go. Saying that, Cai Yong lowered the door curtain.

Cai Yong was in the study, looking at the hundred family names in his hand, looking a little excited. Although the sentence is not gorgeous, its four-character and one-column arrangement almost creates a new word style. And as an enlightenment book, it can be said to be a masterpiece.

"Good, good, good." After Cai Yong read it, he had three good words in a row. This is a great compliment. Cai Yong, as a person with a high reputation in Shilin, is also a great writer, and the articles praised by him will generally cause the scene of Luoyang paper being expensive.

However, his signature made Cai Yong a little delayed. The word Zhang Bao is not only eye-catching, but also uses different colors, even if you want to ignore the author, it is impossible.

Holding a bamboo slip with a hundred family names in his hand, Cai Yong didn't know what to do for a while.
