(Thank you for the monthly ticket of the book friend "cerryleeon",In addition, although it stands to reason that I should also be grateful for the evaluation vote.,But in view of the fact that I don't like the score of the evaluation.,So I won't report the name.,Hum tsundere~)
Luoyang Caifu seems to be leisurely and quiet on such days.
In the backyard, Cai Yong, the Marquis of Gaoyang Township, who is already sixty years old and worships Zuo Zhonglang, is enjoying the cool under an old acacia tree.
It's already autumn climate, but the weather has suddenly become hot in the last two days, which makes the elderly people always a little unbearable, of course, at this time, Cai Yong is also rare to empty his mind, in fact, the main thing is to let his thinking stop and rest, take a breath and continue to cultivate history, but he knows that the combination of work and rest can achieve better results, rather than blindly burying his head in hard work.
Of course, this is also because of his agreement with Lu Bu, Lu Bu doesn't want to kill Wang Yun by himself, and avoids the tragedy of Cai Yong's humiliation and suicide in a certain way, but the old man died because of overwork, so he set a rule with him that he must stop and rest for a while before continuing, if he doesn't do this, then Lu Bu will find ways to obstruct his work of repairing history, Cai Yong thought about it again and again, and agreed, after all, Lu Bu's fundamental starting point was still for him, And think about it rationally, he doesn't want to end up not being able to continue the work of compiling history due to physical reasons, not to mention that this is not just a job for him, but also a mission.
Speaking of which, Cai Yong can sit here so peacefully now, then Lu Bu is definitely indispensable. It must be known that in the original historical time and space, Cai Yong was ordered to go to prison by Wang Yun because of his crying for Dong Zhuo, even if many ministers persuaded him, Wang Yun did not waver in the slightest, and finally led a generation of writers to die in prison. In this world, we should never underestimate those officials or politicians who can win a place to survive in troubled times, but we should never look down on them. The so-called reason. Removing the high-sounding garb is just a simple excuse for this.
Of course, now there is Lu Bu, although after Dong Zhuo died, Cai Yong seems to have worshiped in his own house. But there is Lu Bu to cover it up for him. And Cai Yong's prestige in the eyes of those scholars is still very high. Although it seems that Cai Yong is drifting away from them, not many people will even deliberately notice him during that time, but even if he knows. will still try to ignore the past, and now Wang Yun has died early, so Cai Yong has not experienced those unwarranted disasters because of this matter.
At the same time, because Lu Bu had greeted him early, Cai Yong was able to get the greatest range of convenience and help from the surrounding area when it came to things related to the compilation of historical books, which also reduced his workload in a certain way, after all, when Dong Zhuo was still there, although the first powerful minister of the Han Dynasty made the decision, but the real implementation still depends on the specific people below, at that time, I don't know how many people were disobeying the yang and yin, which made Cai Yong very nerve-wracking, and now he has no worries about this at all, which also makes Cai Yong very emotional, Who would have thought that a good fate that was just unintentionally formed at the beginning would be able to play such a role today, and who would have thought that the arrogant military general who was a tiger at the beginning has now become a recognized humerus of the Han Dynasty and a pillar of the imperial court?
Lu Bu will help him like this, of course, not only because of Cai Yan, who was in the land of Gyeonggi at this time, and his respect for this lovely old man who adheres to principles, but also because the compilation of history books is also very important to Lu Bu himself.
To say that most of the rulers of all dynasties have attached importance to this, especially the status of historians in the Han Dynasty is quite high, generally as long as there is no so-called "great disrespect crime" of Sima Qian for Li Ling to confront Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there will be no problem, even so, Sima Qian's position has not been replaced, which is naturally because of the particularity of the historian's inheritance.
Cai Yong is not a professional historian, the reason why he was able to obtain the heavy responsibility of compiling Han history, one is from the family origins, and the other is that his own cultural accomplishment is convincing, whether it is in art, calligraphy, historical theory and other aspects of attainments and achievements, he can be called the world's masters, if someone else wants to pick the responsibility of this historian, maybe it will cause some controversy, but Cai Yong will not.
In the original historical time and space, Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun, and Zheng Xuan, a scholar of scripture, once sighed: "But I don't know who can continue?" "It's said that after Cai Yong's death, I don't know who else can compile this Han history.
In fact, if Sima Qian put the previous Xia, Shang and Zhou eras into it when compiling the "Historical Records", it can be said that it is excusable to summarize the feelings of the predecessors, then starting from Ban Gu's "Book of Han", the history books of the current dynasty should be written by the people of the current dynasty, and the history of the Three Kingdoms "Three Kingdoms" is also written by Chen Shou, who probably lived in this period, but the "Book of the Later Han" is the work of Fan Ye, who lived in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In addition to the history before the Qin and Han dynasties, which is often researched, the Book of the Later Han is probably the worst among them.
But this can't blame Fan Ye, it can only be said that the history between Wang Mang's new dynasty in the "Book of Han" and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is actually included in this history of the Han Dynasty that should have been written by Cai Yong, but unfortunately because he has died, the book can't continue, and naturally it can only be annihilated in the dust of history, otherwise it won't be the turn of the juniors two hundred years later to cover the coffin for them.
Naturally, such a thing will not happen now, and Lu Bu also believes that Cai Yong will do his best to write a history of the Han Dynasty that can be passed down to future generations.
"Lord, lord......"
Cai Yong was thinking about eating later, he had to treat himself well, but Lu Buchuang couldn't eat any more hot pot, although it was greedy when he thought about it.
In fact, although Lu Bu was an otaku in his previous life, he was also an otaku who kept pace with the times, especially in terms of eating, he would always know what new things were out there and were willing to run out to try them, and many of them even tried to DIY themselves. Therefore, he has a lot of food in his mind, and some of them need special materials, of course, he can't do it in this year; And some just rely on ideas and tools, just simplify it a little, although the taste is much worse for Lu Bu, but it is still very attractive to Cai Yong, who has never touched it.
Cai Yong is also a glutton, and he definitely has a common language with Lu Bu in this regard, but unfortunately there are no chili peppers in this year, and Lu Bu can't remember exactly when it was introduced to China, but it will not be earlier than the Ming Dynasty. And now at this time, do you want to run to the Americas to find it? No chili peppers. To be honest, the hot pot feels a lot less flavorful, and what Lu Bu taught Cai Yong is a simplified version of Sichuan hot pot, and it only has white soup, precisely because of the lack of chili peppers. There is no way to mix it with brown sugar juice. The taste is much worse. Now Cai Yong still likes it, but he is greedy for novelty, and eating too much is like that.
At this time, Cai Yong was swallowing his saliva and was disturbed by this voice. He couldn't help but feel a little upset, but he heard that this was the voice of his housekeeper, who had followed him very early, and he was very eye-catching and generally wouldn't bother himself at this time, so he must have really encountered something terrible.
Cai Yong also couldn't sit still, opened his eyes and stood up and looked back at the direction where the housekeeper was running, looking at the housekeeper who was not young, he was a little flustered at this moment and was so hurried that he was out of breath, he frowned and shouted, "Slow down, slow down...... What's so flustered? ”
"Master, there are people outside, someone wants to see the master......"
Cai Yong was a little displeased, the housekeeper is not the kind of person who is not light or heavy, why did he say such a brainless thing at this time, but he still heard a little unusual, he said "someone wants to see", not "someone wants to see", the difference between one word is big.
"Let's be clear, who is here, and why did it make you so flustered?"
The butler's face showed a hint of shame at this time, and he snorted: "I don't know who it is, but I know that he wears a hat and has a strong figure, although he is only one person, but no one can stop him from coming in?" ”
Cai Yong doesn't have so many guards in this mansion, in fact, he doesn't need it, and he doesn't have any interests entangled in him, who would take a risk just to come to deal with him?
Cai Yong originally only thought that the housekeeper was in a mess, but he didn't expect that soon after the other party's voice fell, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the front yard, and then a fierce fight, and then he heard a scream, the door from the front yard was pushed open again after the housekeeper, this time it was obviously more vigorous, after the door was completely pushed open, it was quickly brought back by inertia, and at that moment, Cai Yong and the two had seen the scene in the front yard through the crack in the door, and those guards were lying on the ground one by one, Everyone wailed, and by this time the person who pushed the door had already driven straight in, and then the door shook a few times and closed itself.
Sure enough, as the butler said, this man was wearing a hat, and a circle of black gauze hung down from the hat, blurring his face.
This person is indeed powerful, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick and round arms, and as soon as he came in, he brought a burst of evil energy, which made Cai Yong, who was facing him directly, couldn't help but shiver, and immediately exclaimed: "Who are you?" ”
No one would have thought that this person stopped at this time, and when he heard Cai Yong's words, he actually took off his hat directly, revealing his true face, and the moment Cai Yong saw it, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "You are ......" Fortunately, his self-control was extremely strong, and he quickly controlled his feelings, so he didn't shout them all, but there was still a trace of surprise on his face, obviously very unexpected about the identity of the person who came.
In fact, he couldn't help but be surprised, who was this rugged-looking man standing in front of him, who was Hua Xiong, who was not known as the first fierce general in the Xiliang Army?
Cai Yong had no choice but to place his trust in Dong Zhuo in order to compile the history of the Han Dynasty, and he did not do anything else during this period, and he could not be regarded as aiding and abusive, so although his reputation was damaged because of his involvement with the national thief Dong Zhuo, it did not affect his status in the hearts of most scholars.
is also for this reason, when Dong Zhuo was destroyed, and Lu Bu became the master of Luoyang and became a lieutenant, with his friendship with Cai Yong, he would meet Cai Yong's request to repair history, and he did it more thoroughly than Dong Zhuo at the beginning, almost providing him with whatever he needed, and it was impossible for him to be killed in history because he was not allowed to write and revise history, and of course it was impossible to commit suicide again.
Now Cai Yong lives a full life every day. Doing what he likes, and ignoring the big things in the world, this makes him live younger and younger.
But the sudden appearance of Huaxiong in front of him made him suddenly feel that he still didn't seem to be able to completely get out, because he was also an insider.
……
Xun You has returned to Luoyang City, although the situation in Hebei has not completely stabilized, even the situation in Jizhou has not been settled, but the rest is just some finishing work, even if Xun You is left there. It's just a drag on him. There wasn't much room for him to play, but on the side of Luoyang, Lu Bu had already felt the unrest here, so he simply sent him back. Assist Zhang Liao and others. Stabilize the situation and welcome the enemy from all sides.
Other than that, of course. There is another reason why Xun Yu came back in a hurry, that is, he has a message that he is anxious to inform Xun Yu. It's better to tell in person, so he came back directly.
"Are you serious?"
Facing Xun Yu's disbelieving gaze, Xun Yu seemed quite calm, he knew that it was not that the uncle was doubting himself, but he instinctively didn't believe what he said, he spread his hands and said: "Of course it's true, these are not what you said, but the conclusive news received by the captain and read it to me." ”
Xun Yu was silent for a long time, his eyebrows locked, showing that he was in a difficult thinking at this moment.
Xun You didn't say anything, but he didn't think so, unlike Xun Yu, he didn't feel much about the so-called Xun Chen, neither happy for his sudden appearance, nor sad because he was missing, although Xun You and they both belonged to the relationship between uncle and nephew, but they were not the same branch, separated by the middle two generations, in a big family like Xun was not much close, not to mention that Xun You had not seen that Xun Chen at all.
Xun Yu said again: "What does Taiwei think? ”
Xun Yu paid attention to Xun Yu's expression at the moment, and saw that he didn't reveal any other feelings, and he was a little bottomless, and finally said truthfully: "Taiwei is indispensable, if he has real talent and learning, he will naturally stay with him when the time comes, even for the sake of the two of us, it is impossible to ignore him, right?" ”
Xun Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What are you talking about, you don't know Youruo's ability, if he is willing to vote for the captain, then he still needs our relationship?" ”
Xun You pursed his lips and said lightly: "If Xun You has any ability, you really don't know, I only know that for so many years, I have never heard of such a character under Yuan Benchu." ”
"You ......" Xun Yu really has nothing to say, because this is the truth, and Xun Yu is clearly deliberate, and there is no doubt about it if he continues to argue, he does not make these useless arguments.
When the two of them were staring at each other with big eyes and nothing to say to each other for a while, there was a news that Jia Xu had come to see each other.
The faces of the two changed slightly, they glanced at each other, and they both saw through each other's thoughts from each other's eyes, that Jia Xu was ordered by Lu Bu to sit in Luoyang, which means that he is temporarily in this Luoyang City, they all need to take him as the mainstay, if there is something, they usually send someone to invite, why did they take the initiative to come to the door?
This is really strange, and then worried, after all, something abnormal is a demon, and most of the hidden secrets are not what they are willing to see.
"Hurry up, please ......" This is Xun Yu's mansion, Jia Xu came to visit and specially let people inform, this is respect for Xun Yu, but he can't be lazy, while quickly ordering someone to invite Jia Xu in, while turning his eyes to Xun Yu, as if asking him if he can guess Jia Xu's intention.
Xun You shook his head, "When you return to Luoyang, many things can't be repaid, and Jia Wenhe is in charge of the affairs of the spy group, many of which are unknown to outsiders, maybe this is one of them." ”
Xun Yu nodded, agreeing that what he said was reasonable, and Jia Xu came quickly, and when he came in and saw Xun Yu, he was also stunned, and then smiled: "I never thought that Gongda happened to be here, that's really good, so you can get straight to the point." ”
Xun Yu made a gesture of please, the three of them took their seats, Xun Yu asked people to bring the wine up, and then looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu said again: "Cai Zhonglang came to look for me, and said that there was a person in his house who came to visit today, you must not think of who this person is." ”
Cai Zhonglang is Cai Yong, he is also a Zhonglang general, hearing that Xun Yu and Xun Yu glanced at each other here, there was a feeling that it was really bad, so he heard Jia Xu continue: "Maybe the two of you have never seen this person, but you must have heard of his name, his surname is Hua Mingxiong, the word Zijian, he is a fierce general who followed Dong Zhuo in the past, and he also has some friendship with Taiwei." As for why he found Cai Zhonglang, the two of them should have heard the rumors that Cai Zhonglang had cried for Dong Zhuo's death in the mansion before, right? ”
The uncles and nephews of the Xun family all nodded, although these things were pressed by Lu Bu, they must have heard of them, and they felt that Cai Yong was really a loving and righteous person, but they didn't expect that his friendship with Dong Zhuo seemed to be really not simple.
Jia Xu saw their thoughts, did not explain, and continued: "However, after knowing that the person who came was Hua Xiong, and hearing that he was here to contact the ministers who had some relations with Dong Zhuo in the DPRK and were preparing to do that subversive thing, Cai Zhonglang used words to stabilize Hua Xiong, and secretly sent someone to inform me. Now that Hua Xiong has been captured by the general who is also sitting in Luoyang, when it comes to this, can the two of you understand what I mean by this? (To be continued......)
