The low-key scribe who came to Chang'an on behalf of Liu Yu to propose marriage to Cai Yong was named Chen Yi, the son of the late Taifu Chen Fan during the reign of Emperor Ling.

When the party was in trouble, Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan were called the "Three Monarchs" by the people of the world, and they were "the ancestors of the first generation", that is, they were examples worthy of learning from everyone in the world.

After his death, his friend Zhu Zhen abandoned the official to bury Chen Fan, and hid Chen Yi near Ganling, the Qinghe State Administration in Jizhou, and would rather die than tell the eunuchs where Chen Yi was hiding, and finally saved Chen Yi from arrest.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, the imperial court granted amnesty to the families of the criminals who were implicated in the disaster of the party, and Chen Yi was freed, and finally did not have to hide to live. However, at that time, Jizhou was the most serious place of the Yellow Turban disaster, so Chen Fan followed the fleeing people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to Youzhou under Liu Yu's rule.

After Liu Yu learned of Chen Yi's bumpy experience, he took him in and made him a county magistrate in Changping County, which can be regarded as giving Chen Yi a place to live.

In order to tell his son a suitable family matter, Liu Yu used a lot of brains and worked hard this time. Because considering that Chang'an was still controlled by Dong thieves, Liu Yu asked Chen Yi to come forward and go to Chang'an for him to see if Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan was married, and if not, he proposed to Cai Yong and married Cai Yan to his son Liu He.

The reason why Liu Yu sent Chen Yi to see Cai Yong was because Cai Yong was also deeply affected by the party's calamity and was connected with Chen Yi's illness. Moreover, when Chen Yi's father Chen Fan was alive, he was a role model and model for the world's corporals, and he was deeply respected by Cai Yong.

Chen Yi has been in Youzhou for seven years, and has seen Liu Yu's exploits in governing Youzhou, and he is also very grateful to Liu Yu for providing him with a peaceful place to live in peace, so he is very attentive to Liu Yu's entrustment, and he is in a hurry all the way, never resting and delaying.

In order to ensure Chen Yi's safety on the road, Liu He arranged for Tao Kuan and others to accompany him, and sent a secret letter to Duan Xuan for him by the way. Tao Kuan and others had lived in the Guanzhong area for several years, and had gone to Luoyang and Chenliu with Duan Xuan to fight, so they were very familiar with the roads along the way, which could prevent Chen Yi from taking a fork in the road and encountering unnecessary trouble.

As soon as Chen Yi entered Chang'an, he heard the news of Dong Zhuo's killing, and while he was happy in his heart, he inquired about Cai Yong's residence, but was whispered by a well-wisher not to go to Cai's house at this time, otherwise Wang Situ would be arrested and imprisoned as a sinner.

Chen Yi was shocked and asked Tao Kuan to inquire around, only to know that Cai Yong was convicted by Wang Yun because of a sigh and was in danger of being killed.

The guard Tao Kuan said to Chen Yi: "I know Wang Situ's side to protect Wang Yue Wang Daxia, and I am willing to go to the palace to inquire about it." ”

Chen Yi then asked Tao Wan to go to Wang Yun's mansion to meet Wang Yue with gifts.

Tao Kuan, as one of the twenty-five horsemen who followed Liu He out of Nanyang, got along with Wang Yue's master and apprentice for more than a month, so he was naturally very familiar. He quickly found Ding Guo through the contact information secretly left by Ding Guo when he came to Chang'an, and then was introduced by Ding Guo and successfully met Wang Yue.

Tao Kuan told Wang Yue of his intention to escort Chen Yi to Chang'an this time, hoping that Wang Yue would help Chen Yi rescue Cai Yong, lest the eldest son's daughter-in-law not marry him, but his father-in-law would die first.

After listening to Tao Kuan's words, Wang Yue couldn't help frowning and said: "Wang Situ wants to kill Master Cai this time to warn Dong Wenchen, a pro-Dong Wenchen in the court, and his attitude is very resolute, it is really difficult to rescue Master Cai!" ”

Ding Guan on the side said anxiously: "Master, doesn't it work to move out of Taifu Liu?" ”

Wang Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say whether Wang Situ will sell Lord Liu's face. But since Lord Liu intends to marry Master Cai, we naturally can't sit idly by and watch Master Cai be executed, and we must act quickly. ”

After some discussion, Wang Yue came up with an idea for Tao Kuan, and asked him to accompany Chen Yi to the Taiwei Ma Riyan Mansion for a trip, first asking Ma Riyan to come forward to drag Wang Yun to prevent Cai Yong from being executed in the near future, and then quickly send someone back to Youzhou to report the matter to Liu Yu and his son, and they will find a way to mediate with Wang Yun and rescue Cai Yong from prison.

Tao Kuan had no other way, so he said goodbye to Wang Yue and hurried back to the inn to report to Chen Yi. When Tao Kuan was leaving, he asked Wang Yue if he wanted to immediately send someone to bring the news of Dong Zhuo's killing back to Youzhou, but Wang Yue told Tao Kuan that as early as the first time Dong Zhuo was killed a few days ago, someone had already gone to Youzhou to report to Liu He Gongzi.

Tao Kuan originally wanted to ask why Ding Guo was stranded in Chang'an for several months, but this time such a major incident happened, and he didn't return to Youzhou in person, but he knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask as a guard, so he put the question back in his stomach and kept his mouth shut.

Chen Yi learned from Tao Kuan that Taiwei Ma Riyan had come forward to intercede with Wang Yun on behalf of Cai Yong the day before yesterday, so he hurriedly took the gifts that were originally intended to be given to the Cai family and went to Taiwei's Mansion to meet him.

Ma Riyan learned that Chen Fan's son Chen Yi had come to visit, and hurriedly came to the gate of the mansion to personally welcome Chen Yi in.

Chen Yi said straight to the point that he came to the point, and after Ma Riyan heard it, he said with some emotion: "Wang Situ did have some mistakes in the matter of Bachelor Cai this time. Treating talents well is the lifeblood of the country's maintenance and development, and allowing the country's classics to be circulated is the guarantee of attaching importance to the national system and creation. Nowadays, Wang Situ does not attach importance to talents, because Cai Yong will be punished for capital crimes on trumped-up charges, hindering the circulation of national classics, and I don't think he can be long-term. ”

"Last time, I went to the palace specifically for Cai Yong's matter and explained the benefits to him, but unfortunately Wang Situ didn't listen. Now that I have learned that Mrs. Liu intends to marry Master Cai, this matter may have a turning point. If you stay in the mansion, I will contact Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others, and work together to find a way to lift Lord Liu out as a shield to prevent Wang Situ from executing Master Cai. ”

Ma Riyan acted vigorously and resolutely, and after agreeing to Chen Yi, he immediately took action. He personally went to the prison where Cai Yong was being held, and told Cai Yong to stay in prison and wait for rescue, and not to do stupid things such as suicide without thinking about it for a while.

When Ma Riyan came to visit, in fact, Cai Yong was already determined to live and die, if Comrade Lao Ma came half a day late, he might have to collect his body.

In order to survive, Cai Yong has taken the initiative to confess his guilt to Tingwei, and he also asked himself to endure the torture of stabbing his sword and cutting his feet to save the rest of his life, but even then Wang Yun was indifferent. Cai Yong learned in prison that Ma Riyan pleaded for him the day before yesterday and was rejected by Wang Yun, and he thought that even the dignified captain who came forward to rescue him could not impress Wang Yun, so he no longer had any hope of getting out of prison alive.

Cai Yong didn't want to continue to stay in the dark prison and suffer insults, so he had already thought of committing suicide, but he was a little reluctant to give up his hard-working daughter, so he was still hesitating and melancholy.

When Cai Yong heard Ma Riyan say that Liu Yu was going to let his son Liu He marry his daughter, he first showed a little happy look, and then smiled bitterly.

Cai Yong said to Ma Riyan: "Brother Ma can run repeatedly for Lao'er's cheap life, and Cai is grateful. Mrs. Liu is willing to let her son marry my daughter Zhaoji, and I am very happy to hear it. But have you forgotten? Zhaoji she had married to the Hedong Wei family as a daughter-in-law last year, and her husband Jun Wei Ning married Yan'er not long after, coughed up blood and died, the people of the Wei family said that my daughter Kefu, hated and disliked her, forced her to commit suicide, Yan'er was unbearable, had to return to Chang'an to hide. Zhao Ji is now a married woman, and she has also lost Kefu's reputation, do you say that after Mrs. Liu knows about this matter, is she still willing to marry the Cai family? ”

After listening to Cai Yong's account of his daughter's tragic experience, Ma Riyan also sighed, but he was not as negative and desperate as Cai Yong, but comforted Cai Yong and said: "Who said that Zhao Ji can't marry Liu Bo'an's son if she marries?" Among the women in the world, the one who learns the best is your daughter, if Liu and that little guy can marry him, it will be his creation! Besides, even if you can't marry Liu He as your wife, can't you still be a concubine? You listen to my advice, no matter what Liu Bo'an's attitude is in the future, but he is far away in Youzhou, and he doesn't know your situation now, so he must be brought out to stop Wang Yun now. All you need to do is agree to this marriage, and I'll do the rest for you! ”

Cai Yong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since this is the case, everything has Master Lao!" ”

After Ma Riyan met Cai Yong, he immediately bought a lot of dowries, and then took over the task of "Yue Lao" from Chen Yi without hesitation, and came to Cai's Mansion with a few courtiers who were close to him.

At this time, Cai's mansion was full of birds, and it was no longer the busy traffic when Cai Yong was the general of Zuo Zhonglang in the court.

Because of Cai Yong's sudden imprisonment, the people in the mansion all took their belongings out of the mansion to flee and hide, and only Cai Yan, who lived in a widowed family, and a personal maid were left in the empty mansion.

Cai Yongren only got Cai Yan's daughter when he was middle-aged, and he has always raised her as a baby, and Cai Yan has shown amazing talent since he was a child, not only has a particularly good memory, but also is good at writing poems and rhythms, so he is very loved by Cai Yong.

On this day, Cai Yan sat in front of his father's most cherished Jiaowei qin, and tears dripped like beads with broken threads, wetting the strings and the piano table.

"Am I really an ominous woman? Less than a year after I married into the Wei family, my husband coughed up blood and died. Less than two months after I fled from Hedong to Chang'an, my father was about to be executed. ”

"Woo...... But who knows the pain of my heart? When the Wei family first married me, they just wanted me to give their son joy! That Wei Ning had a stubborn disease, which could not be cured for a long time, and when I got married, he was already running out of oil, and his death had nothing to do with me at all! ”

"Woo...... Does anyone know the way? I'm now infamous as a Kefu, but I'm actually a virgin who hasn't broken yet? Whining...... Hard-working father, if you go, how will your daughter live? I'd better go with you...... Woohoo......"

Cai Yan cried to the sad place, like a cuckoo crying blood, and the maid beside him was also teary-eyed, her nose was red, and she kept wiping her tears.

PS: Sister Cai Yan cried and said: Nai guys, hurry up and vote for recommendation and Sanjiang, let Nandao give me a happy ending! In addition, there was a problem with the automatic update at noon, and Nandao had just come home from outside, so he quickly updated it manually
