Chapter 123: Luoyang (9)
From beginning to end, Cao Cao did not mention taking himself to Luoyang City for a walk, Jia Rong understood very well, no matter what, people who have a deep relationship with him will not have haode results, otherwise the former Cao Cao will not just smile in front of Cai's mansion, Cao Cao is a traitorous man, this point is clearer than anyone else, and it is estimated that he is also looking at Cai Yong's face at the banquet today before he came forward to solve the siege.
Perhaps the second year of Zhongping is destined to be an extraordinary year, and the Han Emperor actually ordered a banquet in the palace to entertain hundreds of civil and military officials, and this news added a touch of excitement to Luoyang, of course, among the upper classes.
After Cai Yong returned to his residence, he changed into court clothes, said a word to the groom, and got into the carriage.
Jia Rong's words may be absurd and rebellious in the ears of other Han officials, but Cai Yong was inspired by Jia Rong's sentence "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat", thinking of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that broke out in the first year of Zhongping, Cai Yong was more solid in his heart, he believed that if the Han Emperor took his own suggestion, the days of the Han Dynasty would not be too far away, in order to be fast, Cai Yong rushed directly to the palace by carriage.
"Why did Lord Cai come here?" Xiao Huangmen said respectfully to Cai Yong, who had just gotten off the carriage.
In the future, Shijie has a saying, don't offend beggars, villains and women, but the Han Dynasty has an unspoken rule that you can't offend literati no matter what, because a mouth of literati can not only say that the dead are alive, but even say that their eunuchs are normal people, especially contemporary Confucians like Cai Yong, who are people who don't even want to offend Zhang Rang, Xiao Huangmen naturally has to behave very well-behaved, otherwise there is no place to say it if he suffers.
"Go to Tongbing, just say that the old man has something to ask to see the saint!" Cai Yong said eagerly, how can he still have the usual light and breezy appearance.
Xiao Huangmen's face showed an embarrassed look, "Lord Cai, I'm afraid this won't work, the Holy Order, today the civil and military officials rested, rashly asked to see, the Holy Dragon Yan was furious......"
Cai Yong interrupted Xiao Huangmen's words and said angrily: "Don't be verbose, delay the national affairs, can you take responsibility?" ”
With such a big hat pressed down, Xiao Huangmen's face suddenly changed, and he said respectfully: "My lord, please wait!" ”
After whispering a few words to the yellow door next to him, he hurried to the palace.
The news of Cai Yong's request to see him reached Emperor Han layer by layer, and after glancing at the fold in his hand, Emperor Han said unhappily: "No! ”
After a moment of deep thought, he stopped the eunuch who was about to deliver the decree and said, "Let him in!" ”
Not only can the eunuchs not afford to offend the literati, but even when the Han Emperor refuses to meet them, he has to weigh and weigh them, and the literati's favorite thing is to find fault with the emperor, but the emperor has to pretend to be a benevolent monarch when he is faulty, otherwise the great truth of those literati chatter is enough to make the emperor lose a layer of skin.
Cai Yong hurriedly came in under the leadership of the eunuchs, and the Han Emperor couldn't help frowning, these literati usually pay the most attention to their own image, but Cai Yong's panicked appearance did not dare to compliment, it seemed that there was really something important.
After three bows and nine bows, Emperor Han said lightly: "Aiqing is flat!" ”
"Sit down!" For a veteran figure like Cai Yong, Emperor Han gave enough respect.
After Cai Yong sat down, Emperor Han asked, "I wonder why Aiqing is so eager to see me?" ”
Being on the throne for a long time gave Emperor Han a momentum of not being angry and self-imposing.
Cai Yong replied respectfully: "Enlighten the saint, the minister accidentally got a wonderful theory of governing the world, and he felt very reasonable, so he came immediately, and asked the saint for forgiveness if he was presumptuous." ”
In this way, the Han Emperor will not be able to blame Cai Yong for this, otherwise he will end up with the truth, "Aiqing's loyalty is commendable, which is really the blessing of my Han!" Aiqing, let's talk about it, what is the method of governing the world? Emperor Han's tone was a little eager.
The Han Emperor ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and experienced many ups and downs, the eunuchs and their relatives and ministers competed for power, and the young Han Emperor could only watch it, and the Han Emperor was completely blocked, with no real power at all; Gradually, the Han Emperor fell in love with collecting money, so he established a Wanjin Hall, wanting to collect the wealth of the world here, and those eunuchs who begged Haode came up with a "wonderful" idea, setting the price of each official position, so that the money rolled in, and the family who picked the door was also willing to spend money to buy, the Han Emperor was happy to be so, according to the ministers, the whole world is his own, and what does it matter if he sells some officials; The rising Han Emperor even established a street market in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs played the role of ordinary people, in short, there was never such a thing among the emperors of the Han Dynasty.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the Han Emperor, who was accustomed to a stable life, panicked, and looked at the urgent letters one by one, and the Han Emperor also sobered up.
It wasn't until the treasury was empty that the Han Emperor realized how miserable and powerless the phrase "the whole world is his own" was, and the family tightly guarded the family property, and no one was willing to stand up and fund it.
The Han Emperor, who had awakened to his senses, also began to go to the early court, listening to the minister's advice every day, but the tired Han could still be saved, the Han Emperor often asked himself.
Emperor Han also wanted to become a good emperor of Zhongxing Han, leaving a strong mark in the history books, the problem is that he didn't know how to do it, he looked at those civil officials fighting in the court all day long, and felt that it was tasteless, even if the Han Emperor was mediocre, he could see that this could not solve the status quo of the Han Dynasty at all.
This banquet is also for the sake of money and food, and now the Han is full of fires, thieves are like cows, rebellions occur from time to time, and Wanjintang has been wiped out after the previous toss, and now the richest person in the Han is the family.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, and the Han Emperor also saw a glimmer of hope from the chaotic situation, and was eager to become an emperor who could make a difference.
Emperor Han's constantly changing expression did not escape Cai Yong's sharp eyes, and he said slowly: "What does the saint think about the saying that the people are the water and the king is the boat?" "Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the time, can clearly feel the heart of the Han Emperor.
"The people are water, and the tens of millions of people of the Han Dynasty have converged into rivers; The king is the boat, and the holy is the boat that sails on the river, above all living beings! Cai Yong explained.
Emperor Han Daxiao said: "Aiqing's words are really wonderful! Whoever gets a compliment will be overjoyed, not to mention that the words of praise come from the mouth of the great Confucian of the current dynasty, and the Han Emperor feels refreshed.
Cai Yong said to himself: "Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat!" ”
Emperor Han's profound eyes kept looking at Cai Yong, carefully thinking about the meaning of his words, and the deeper he thought, the more fierce his gaze at Cai Yong became.
After a long time, Emperor Han sighed, waved his hand and said, "Aiqing, please go back!" ”
Even with Cai Yong's determination, under the scrutiny of Emperor Han, he was still sweating, and the emperor's authority was really unfathomable.
"Holy!" Cai Yong bowed to the ground.
"Go back, I'll think about it!" Emperor Han said lightly.
After speaking, Emperor Han looked down at the fold and said no more.
Cai Yong sighed and retreated.
Jia Rong argued in Cai's Mansion to refute the news of the Taifu of the dynasty in Luoyang, and the sensitive figures came to power again, and the Han family took the lead in attacking Jia Rong, and re-exposed what Jia Rong had done in Beidi County before, Jia Rong became the focus of the introduction of the scholars in Luoyang, especially the sensation caused by "the people are the water kings for the boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat" is no less than the eight-magnitude earthquake.
Night fell quietly, and the whole sun became a shijie of lights, and the big and round moon hung in the sky, overlooking this piece of heaven and earth.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Lantern Festival in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty advocated Buddhism, coinciding with Cai Su's return from India to seek Buddhism, saying that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in India is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the monks gather to pay homage to the Buddha's relics, which is a good day to visit the Buddha. In order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the fifteenth night of the first lunar month to burn lamps in the palace and temples to show the Buddha, and the custom gradually spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
In a corner of Cai's mansion, the sound of a man and a woman talking was heard.
"Can you really fly?" The silver bell-like sound was enough for anyone to associate her with beauty.
"Definitely!" A deep sound came through the air.
"Let's get started."
"Yes, Haode."
After a shudder.
"Ah, big brother, it hurts!" The sound of a girl crying was heard.
"It's okay, just bear with it!" The man reassured.
"Look, there's blood! It hurts! There was a faint cry in the girl's voice.
"Well, let me see what's going on."
Zooming in closer, Jia Rong and Cai Yan were squatting in the corner of Cai's mansion and talking softly, with a pile of bamboo and a pile of yellowed rice paper lying quietly in front of them.
Seeing that Cai Yan's fingers were cut by the bamboo and soaked with a trace of blood, Jia Rong hurriedly pulled up Cai Yan's slender little hand, sent the injured finger to his mouth, and kept sucking, salty, fishy, it turned out that the blood of the beauty was not fragrant, Jia Rong sighed.
Cai Yan's little hands are not ordinarily well maintained, soft as boneless, delicate and smooth, making people reluctant to give up, like a work of art.
Cai Yan was completely stunned by Jia Rong's movements before and after, looked at Jia Rong in a daze, and forgot that his parents taught men and women to kiss or not, and the pain in his hands disappeared without a trace.
"Big brother, you, you" Looking at Jia Rong with a look of enjoyment, Cai Yan couldn't help but say softly.
Cai Yan's face was already covered with red glow, like a ripe apple, which made people can't help but want to take a bite, of course Jia Rong found the presumptuous behavior, but he couldn't show it, otherwise it would affect the little girl, and even more so his own wise and tall image.
"I saw that Yan'er was injured just now, and I was afraid that the wound would be infected with bacteria, and the saliva could be disinfected, so that's it!" Jia Rong took Cai Yan's hand out of his mouth and said with a thick face.
As expected, Cai Yan was really attracted by his words, and asked curiously: "Big brother, what is bacteria, what is disinfection?" ”
