Chapter 56: Saving Cai Yong
"What is the act of Lord Squire? Dong Zhuo is a rebel minister, today's ambush is a blessing for the country, you are also a Hanchen and a great Confucian in the world, why don't you rejoice and cry for the rebel minister, could it be that you are Dong Zhuo's fellow party? Lu Bu asked.
"Although he is not talented, he also knows the righteousness, how can he turn his back on Dong Zhuo? It's just that Dong Zhuo has the grace of knowing something, and now he is dead. You are also Dong Zhuoyuan's department, so you should understand this feeling. Cai Yong sobbed.
Lu Bu was a little angry when he heard Cai Yong's words, he now regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han family, and he also said before the soldier that he had subdued Dong Zhuo by secret order, but Cai Yong pointed out that he was Dong Zhuo's original department at this time, so how could he answer?
To put it bluntly, isn't that a slap in the face, I don't understand, on the surface, it is to clear his relationship with Dong Zhuo, but who doesn't understand people's gratitude for the grace of knowing the situation? If the world knows about it, he will not be able to say that Lu Bu will become that unrighteous person.
Anyway, no matter how he Lu Bu answered, he felt that Cai Yong had set a language trap for him, and he couldn't get along with him.
Of course, Cai Yong didn't mean this, but he was upright, and the previous time he offended the eunuch and was dismissed and had to take refuge in the south of the Yangtze River, until Dong Zhuo took charge of Luoyang and recalled him to Luoyang and promoted him to the middle of the service, so he said that Dong Zhuo had the grace of knowing him.
Just when Lu Bu didn't know how to answer, someone behind him said angrily: "Cai Yong, why are you here?" You are a great Confucian of the world, and this move is really a shame on us and other literati, and I am really ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as you. ”
Liu Meng and Lu Bu looked back, but saw that Wang Yun didn't know when he came here.
"Where does the master say this, life is the first word of righteousness in the world, what is wrong?" Cai Yong heard that Wang Yun's words were so angry that his chest continued to rise and fall, and he almost couldn't stand up, so he said angrily.
"Hmph, the word righteousness is good, but there is also a distinction between big righteousness and small righteousness, Cai Shizhong's move is to abandon the great righteousness of the country and follow the small righteousness of the individual, how is it the way of being a courtier." Wang Yun said disdainfully.
Wang Yun has his own thoughts, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it is the time to revive the dynasty, he is in addition to Dong Yougong and ranks first among Situ Zidang civil officials, but Cai Yong's existence makes him feel a sense of crisis, because most of the hundred officials in the court have been taught by Cai Yong more or less, which can be called peach and plum all over the world, he just wants to take this opportunity to eradicate this threat this time, he knows that Cai Yong is the most noble, so he deliberately insulted him in his words to force him to be ashamed and abandon the official.
"You, you." Cai Yong is upright and not good at sophistry, but he pointed at Wang Yun angrily, but he couldn't say anything to defend him.
Wang Yun saw that the heat was almost over, and said decisively: "Cai Shizhong, isn't he speechless because I said that his feet hurt, right?" The end is not a minister. ”
Cai Yong was extremely angry, and suddenly took a few steps forward and pulled out Wang Yun's sword, which startled Wang Yun, he thought that Cai Yong was so angry that he was going to die, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted: "Wen Hou, Anping Hou quickly take this person, he wants to murder me." ”
But after he finished shouting, he found that Cai Yong did not swing his sword at him, but just put the sword across his own neck, and Lu Bu and Liu Meng looked at him with an indescribable eye, Wang Yun suddenly felt that his face could not be hung up, he didn't expect Cai Yong's temperament to be so strong, originally he just wanted him to abandon the official, and he didn't think about Cai Yong's death, but now Wang Yun felt that Cai Yong's reason for making a fool of himself was Cai Yong, so he turned his heart sideways, just stood there and looked at Cai Yong, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
"Yong's actions are consciously guilty, but they are all righteous words, and I can show the sun and the moon for the heart of the Han family, but now it is difficult to distinguish between the mouth, and I should die with a name." After saying that, he wanted to swing his sword and kill himself.
Seeing this, Wang Yun was very determined, and he only had joy in his heart, so he naturally would not step forward to stop it, Lu Bu was secretly annoyed by what happened just now, and he didn't stop it, the two just stood in place and looked at Cai Yong coldly.
"Cai is slow to wait, can you listen to me, if you think what I said is unreasonable, it is not too late to die in the name of death." After Liu Meng saw the performance of Lu Bu and the others, he knew that if he didn't say anything, Cai Yong would die, so he had to speak.
"You are?" Cai Yong only returned to the court as an official when Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, so he didn't know Liu Meng, so he had doubts.
"I am the general of Pingxi, Liu Meng, the Marquis of Anping, Cai Shizhong listened to me, I have heard for a long time that Cai Shizhong is a great Confucian in the world, and he has taught countless people in his life. It is even more worthy of the Han family. Liu Meng said.
"This, what about the old man?" Cai Yong was a little hesitant when he heard this, he didn't die, and he didn't die.
"Why don't you teach more useful talents for the Han family? In this way, it is not only worthy of what you have learned, but also can make meritorious contributions to the Han family and atone for your sins. ”
Cai Yong was a little hesitant when he heard this, he was a great Confucian, in addition to going to Taixue to give lectures, the children of the family went to his house to ask for advice, but now he is a guilty body, and he feels that he has no face to go to Taixue to teach, the children of the family are all from the family school, just asking for advice is not what he taught, how can he atone for his sins?
"The old man felt that he had no face and went to teach in Taixue." Cai Yong sighed.
Liu Meng was a little helpless, this old man really wanted to save face, but for Cai Yan's sake, he would be a good person to the end.
"Why don't you learn from that "Mr. Water Mirror" to buy a private school? ”
Cai Yong was silent when he heard this, "Mr. Shuijing" Sima Hui of course he knew, and he was also a famous man in the world, and the Yingchuan Academy he purchased was also famous for producing many famous people, and the academy did not ask about his background, as long as he was dedicated to learning, he could enter it.
He Cai Yong also admired Sima Hui's knowledge, but he didn't agree with this move, in his opinion, how could such an identity stoop to teach those poor children.
Liu Meng didn't understand Cai Yong's silence at first, but slowly he understood the reason for his silence, in this era, the family is very important, and the Taixue is either a child of a family or a person with status, but a private school means that no matter who is willing to learn, how can this old man give up his body to teach those poor children with such a good face?
"Doesn't Cai Shizhong hear that there is no such thing as teaching?"
Cai Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was obsessed, how could he have a guilty body? What's more, Confucius's words are so clear. After figuring it out, Cai Yong threw the sword on the ground, took a few steps forward and saluted Liu Mengshen and said: "If it weren't for what Anping Hou said, the old man almost wanted to make a mistake, and I thought that I would not be as clear as you could see, so the old man would go to the saint to ask for guilt, and then start this matter." ”
Liu Meng avoided it and said: "Don't thank me, I just don't want to see a generation of Confucians fall and cause the Han family to suffer losses." ”
"Marquis Anping admires the old man of the Han family, so he will leave, and he will come to thank him in the future." With that, he headed for the palace.
