Chapter 124: Abducting Lao Cai's Family
"Daddy?"
A gentle cry rang out outside the door.
Cai Yong reacted at this time, and hurriedly put down the book and walked to open the door, it was none other than Cai Yan and Cai Ling, the two most important daughters in his heart.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you, I called outside for so long before you came to open the door?"
Cai Yan and Cai Ling walked behind Cai Yong, and put two pairs of slender hands, one left and one right, on his shoulders to help him massage.
"It's okay, it's okay, Dad just read the book and was fascinated, so I didn't hear your voice. Cai Yong shook his head.
Cai Yan was so smart, he could see what Cai Yong was thinking at a glance, and said, "Dad, are you thinking about what Li Yuan said?"
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly and replied: "I still can't hide it from you, do you think what Wen Zhong said is right?"
"Dad, Liu Zhong is brilliant and courageous, and his daughter thinks that although what he said is a bit rebellious, it still has some truth. ”
Cai Yan has learned well, if it weren't for his daughter, he would definitely be a good minister.
"I've never heard you praise any man so much, but do you have a crush on him?"
"What are you talking about, my daughter is just talking about things. Cai Yan's face flushed with a flush, and she was extremely beautiful.
"Ling'er, what do you think?" Lao Cai looked at Cai Yan's appearance, sighed softly, and turned to ask Cai Ling, who didn't say Ha.
"My sister and I think it's the same. ”
Cai Ling said calmly, but he didn't see anything unusual.
"Haha, Liu Zhong does have extraordinary skills, but he is too bold, he even talks about the Son of Heaven in vain, and he is not ashamed to say that the Han Dynasty is about to run out, fortunately, only you and I can hear it, if you let others hear it, I'm afraid he will fall to the ground today. ”
For Liu Zhendong, a disciple, Cai Yong also felt a lot of headaches, since he admired his ability, but resisted his audacity.
"Dad, in fact, I believe that Liu Zhong's ability should be clearer than me and my sister, what he said is actually just the reality of the situation, in fact, Dad should be very clear in his heart. ”
"Hey, this is what worries me the most, if others say such things, I just think it's a joke, but Zhendong is a closed disciple I have high hopes for, he is young but his father can't understand many places, so I have some concerns. ”
Cai Yong knew that Liu Zhong had never done anything he was not sure of.
The daughter thinks that in fact, the father does not have to worry too much. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Zhendong said that the great man's qi is about to run out, if what he said comes true, then it can only be said that everything is providential, and it is no longer something that we and other manpower can stop it, so we don't have to worry too much,"
Cai Yan paused for a moment and continued, "If the disaster in Luoyang is coming, I am afraid it will really endanger my life, so Liu Zhong proposed to stay away from Luoyang, I think it is not impossible, as the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall." ”
"No, this is absolutely not good," Cai Yong immediately denied when he heard Cai Yan's words.
"As a Hanchen, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death, we should do our best to solve problems for the Son of Heaven. ”
Cai Yan continued:
"Dad, you have been an official for many years, and your contribution is no less than anyone else, if the Son of Heaven really trusts you and listens to your words, then he will naturally be heartfelt to him, but now he only listens to Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, but he is extremely alienated from a group of virtuous ministers, why should I worry about him, and ask my father to think more about himself. ”
Cai Ling listened quietly and did not interject.
Cai Yan hesitated when Cai Yan translated this, yes!
He was loyal to Emperor Ling, and he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but what he got in the end could only be changed back to a cold eye, in fact, his heart had begun to get a little tired, and he sighed helplessly.
"Zhao Ji, Ming Ji, you go and rest, Daddy Rong thinks again. ”
Cai Yan knew that it was useless for him to talk more, so he and his sister left the study.
Early the next morning, Liu Zhong took Xu Chu and Wang Xiaoer to prepare to go to He Jin to receive his 5,000 soldiers and horses.
When he arrived at the door, Cai Yong called him back.
"Teacher, I don't know what to tell the disciple?"
Although there was some unpleasantness yesterday, in all fairness, Liu Zhong still has great respect for Cai Yong.
For Liu Zhong, Cai Yong is a big family, and he still sincerely accepts himself as a disciple, if it weren't for his support, Liu Zhong would not have been able to get an official position, let alone lead troops to fight to improve his prestige.
"If the Han Dynasty is not saved, what will you do with Zhendong?" Cai Yong said the doubts in his heart.
"For all generations, the world is divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, if the Han Dynasty is not saved, when it is broken and then stands, if I do something out of the ordinary in the future, I hope the teacher understands, because everything is for the common people in the world. ”
has been said very directly, and he believes that Cai Yong understands what he means.
"Why are you sure that the disaster in Luoyang is coming?" Cai Yong asked again.
"The disaster began with the eunuchs, the ministers had their own thoughts, Zhang Rang and others only cared about collecting money, and deceived the Son of Heaven with rhetoric.
Lord Cai and Wang Situ are both good ministers and virtuous people, but they are alienated by Emperor Ling, the ministers can't unite as one, and the people everywhere are in dire straits, so how can the court not be chaotic?"
Liu Zhong pointed to the key point without reservation, and was saying what Cai Yong was thinking.
"Leave Luoyang, you go to Liangzhou, if the old man leaves, I don't know where to go?"
"I will go to Liangzhou, but I will let Xu Chu lead the troops first, I have some other things. Teacher, if you want, I hope to go to Liangzhou with me. ”
The reason why Liu Zhong chose to let Xu Chu lead his troops to Liangzhou first was that he had other plans, but he would not tell Cai Yong.
First of all, Liu Zhong has been in the Three Kingdoms of the Other World for almost a hundred days, and if he wants to return to the real world, he may have to be delayed for a few days to return to the other world of the Great Heavenly Dragon.
Again, the three kingdoms of this other world are about to be in chaos, and Liu Zhong accepted only Xu Chu as a usable general.
This is a talent in the world, there are many heroes, Liu Zhong wants to take the opportunity to recruit a few, or how to compete for the world, that beautiful woman, Liu Zhong doesn't want to let go, it is all a high yin value.
Cai Yong lowered his head and pondered, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded
Okay, the old man will believe you once and go to Liangzhou with you, but I can drag my family with me, don't be annoyed. And now that I have an important position, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court will not let me go easily. ”
Old man Cai's face was a little heavy.
When Liu Zhong heard this, the old guy finally figured it out and was willing to go with him.
I can't be happy in my heart, this is a matter of picking up treasures, not only a big Confucian, but also two superb beauties.
However, Liu Zhong will definitely not show it in front of Old Man Cai.
However, Liu Zhong was a little surprised that Cai Yong would promise him to leave Luoyang, and the reason why he wanted Cai Yong to leave Luoyang.
Throw out Liu Zhong's selfishness, and secondly, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing will bring great harm.
Cai Yong is in an important position, and he is dedicated to Han, Liu Zhong is not very sure that he can convince him, and now Cai Yong is willing to follow his advice, it is very likely that Cai Yan's two sisters also have a lot of credit last night, as soon as he thinks of being able to meet Cai Zhaoji and Cai Mingji day and night in the future, Liu Zhong felt a burst of heart.
"Zhendong, Zhendong?" Seeing that Li Yuan didn't react, Cai Yong called him a few times.
"Yes, I'm here, I'm pondering what to do just now. ”
Liu Zhong hurriedly came back to his senses.
"In fact, it is not difficult for the teacher to leave Luoyang, as long as you resign and return to the field, with the character of Zhang Rang and He Jin, it will definitely not be blocked, the Son of Heaven is very likely to dissuade you, but this is just a superficial effort, but it is just to avoid snubbing the hearts of the ministers, as long as Zhang Rang and He Jin do not stop it, then this matter will be easy to succeed. ”
"Although this plan is feasible, I am afraid that my rash resignation will arouse suspicion. Cai Yong is still a little worried.
"Teacher, as long as we do a play, then we can hide it from everyone, we just need to do this, this, this" Liu Zhong whispered beside Cai Yong, who nodded again and again.
Day 2.
Cai Yong was accidentally hit by a merchant on the way to the court, accidentally broke his leg, and was unable to go to the court due to serious injuries, Emperor Ling learned that he sent a eunuch to visit, and the eunuch came back after reading it and reported that Cai Zhonglang's leg was seriously injured, and he was also in a plaster, and he was unable to move, and he was afraid that it would take several months to heal.
After a few days, it was reported that Cai Zhonglang accidentally got a cold, and his body was getting thinner and thinner, and many officials came to check after learning about it, and saw Cai Yong's face pale and haggard, and many people were startled, thinking that Cai Zhonglang was already old, and now he broke his leg and was seriously ill, and it looked like he couldn't live for a few days.
These things reached the ears of Emperor Ling, and it didn't take long for Cai Yong to play the Son of Heaven, because he was weak and sick, he was old, and begged to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate.
Emperor Ling didn't agree at first, saying that Cai Zhonglang was an important minister in the court, and he couldn't do without him, and then Cai Yong played twice, and Emperor Ling saw Cai Yong so insistent, and finally nodded and agreed to let Cai Yong resign and return to his hometown.
He Jin, Zhang Rang and others were all happy when they heard the news, they had been opponents for many years, and they finally didn't have to see this old guy in the court anymore, and the mood of these two people was naturally crooked.
The virtuous ministers in the court were very sorry, but Cai Yong was indeed old, and he was old and sick, even if he wanted to continue to serve the Han Dynasty, he was probably powerless.
That night, Cai Yong dismissed all his subordinates, packed up his belongings, and prepared to leave Luoyang with Cai Yan, Cai Ling and Liu Zhong.
Just as they were about to leave, Wang Yun Situ suddenly came to visit.
"Hahahaha, okay you Cai Bojiao, just leave, and don't know me. Wang Yun walked into Cai's mansion and laughed.
"Zishi, why are you here?"
Cai Yong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Yun to visit at this time.
Wang Yun smiled slightly, "Cai Yong, we have been friends for many years, and you actually deceived me, it's really not interesting enough." ”
"Zishi, you think too much, how can I deceive you. ”
Cai Yong's face was a little embarrassed, he wanted to tell Wang Yun about it, but he was afraid of leaking the news, so he didn't say it.
