After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Zhong and Cai Yong returned to the mansion together, and when they returned to the mansion, Cai Yong was full of praise for Li Yuan

"Hahahaha, Zhendong, you really lived up to my expectations, fought hard for me, and I felt funny when I looked at the general's unnatural face. ”

Cai Yan heard that Cai Yong came back and came in with the heart soup, Cai Yong is getting older, and his body is not as good as before, so Cai Yan will personally boil the heart soup for Cai Yong every day, and when he came in, he saw Cai Yong smiling, and he couldn't help laughing

"Daddy, what makes you so happy?"

"Yan'er, Zhendong has returned from a great victory, and the Son of Heaven has named him the general of Zhenbei, and he will make contributions in the near future, we should celebrate him well. ”

Cai Yong told him what happened in the morning today.

Cai Yan learned that Liu Zhong had won the battle, and walked up to him to congratulate:

"Congratulations to Gongzi Li for his meritorious work in eliminating the anti-thieves and being promoted to general of Zhenbei. ”

"Miss Yan is polite, if it weren't for Lord Cai's recommendation, how could I have such an opportunity to perform?"

Liu Zhong was not complacent because of the victory, and there was still a trace of worry on his face.

Cai Yong saw that Liu Zhong's face was not very good, and his interest was not high, and asked:

"Zhendong, it's a happy event that you returned from a big victory, why are you sad? Are you worried that He Jin will deal with you?"

He Jin is in the position of a general, and now Liu Zhong has been promoted to the general of Zhenbei Zhonglang, and it is also under He Jin's management, and it will be very easy for He Jin to deal with Liu Zhong in the future.

Liu Zhong shook his head.

"I'm not worried that He Jin will deal with me, I'm going to Liangzhou Beidi as Zhenbei Zhonglang, and it's not so easy for him to deal with me, I'm worried about another thing. ”

As a modern person in the real world, Liu Zhong knew that the Han Dynasty's qi had run out and was about to usher in the darkest moment, but in the face of a great Confucian like Old Man Cai, Liu Zhong didn't know what to say to be able to make him believe.

The only purpose he wanted to persuade Lao Cai was Lao Cai's two daughters, Cai Zhaoji and Cai Mingji, if they were going on an expedition, they would definitely not come back to Luoyang, how could these two beauties be taken away, and the Diao Chan.

If you have the opportunity, you can't miss it, it's nothing if you're beautiful or not, and the yin value is the most important.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Zhong did not answer Cai Yong's question, but asked, "Lord Cai, what do you think of the current Han Dynasty?"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Zhong meant by this, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, the prince of the king bears the worries of the king, if the son is at the mercy of the eunuchs today, we should try our best to eradicate the thief party and rectify the dynasty. ”

"Lord Cai, please say what is in your heart, do you think the current Han Dynasty can still be saved?"

Liu Zhong had a serious face and asked Cai Yong in a tone full of doubts.

Cai Yong's body trembled, his face changed slightly, and he reprimanded: "Zhendong! What do you mean by this? Why did you say such a rebellious thing?"

"What do I say, Lord Cai should know better than me, my lord, you have been an official for many years, you should have already seen through the affairs of the court, since you don't want to say it, then let me say something disrespectful,"

Liu Zhong walked in front of Cai Yong, not afraid at all

"Today's son doesn't like the virtuous ministers, he favors the eunuchs alone, and the ministers in the court all report good news and don't report bad news, but they don't know that the people outside Luoyang are in dire straits!"

Cai Yong said sharply: "Zhendong, don't talk about the Son of Heaven, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs deceive with clever words, this is not the fault of the Son of Heaven, but Zhang Rang is really cunning!"

Liu Zhong was angry, what kind of person is Cai Yong, a generation of Confucianism, with his wisdom, he must know that it is the mediocrity of Emperor Ling, but because of the traditional concept, he can't blame the so-called Son of Heaven, so he shirks all the responsibility to Zhang Rang and others.

Liu Zhong snorted coldly: "The teacher is really deceiving himself. ”

"How can I deceive myself?" was Liu Zhong's words, and Cai Yong also lost his temper.

"Han Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, once said that in the midst of the strategy, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the ovary;

Even millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin.

All three are masterpieces, and I can use them, so I take the world.

As the king of a country, he can not know how to coordinate troops and horses, charge into battle, can not raise grain and grass, and give advice, but he can't ignore people and employ people, if the Son of Heaven can't even distinguish between virtuous ministers and traitorous ministers, how can he rectify the country and save the people from danger?"

Although Cai Yong has the heart to refute and maintain the authority of the Son of Heaven, what Liu Zhong said is also true, and now Emperor Ling favors Zhang Rang and alienates the virtuous ministers, and the Han Dynasty is really worse than day by day.

After hearing this, Cai Yan admired Liu Zhong a little more, many people may know these things, but no one dares to say it, only Liu Zhong has the courage.

I couldn't help but see that Liu Zhong's eyes had some subtle changes.

Cai Yong stood there straight, his mouth open for a long time but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Zhong continued:

"Lord Cai, my good teacher, don't you know that after the Yellow Turban Uprising, although the rebellion was quickly put down, the lives of the people everywhere not only did not get better, but got worse and worse, and they were in dire straits.

Now the rebel army is everywhere, just like the Li Mu I just exterminated, today there is a Li Mu, and the next day there is a Wang Mu, Zhang Mu, this thief army is like a weed, the fire can't burn, the more you fight, I don't know if you have ever thought about why?"

"This is because?"

Cai Yong really couldn't answer, they had only been thinking about how to exterminate the rebel army, but they had never thought about why there was a rebel army, and they fought more and more, as if they could never be eliminated.

"What are these rebel armies, they are just formed by the people, to put it bluntly, they are all ordinary people, a group of ordinary people who can't survive.

Teacher, you are a generation of Confucianism, how can you not know the truth that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light?

The people are the foundation of a country, no matter which dynasty is inseparable from the people, the people are like water, the water can carry the boat, but also can overturn the boat, if everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, everyone can do not close the door at night, the road is not left behind, who wants to be a robber, to be a rebel, to do the rebellion against the court?"

Liu Zhong seems that the ancient people were very docile and kind.

The Han Dynasty is also the same, the people are very kind, as long as their food and clothing are satisfied, they will not rebel easily, but now even the most basic food and clothing can not be done, it can be seen how incompetent and mediocre Emperor Ling is, the only prosperity of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that only the last fig leaf of Luoyang is left.

"The people are like water, and water can carry a boat or capsize a boat. ”

Cai Yong kept repeating this sentence in his mouth, and he seemed to understand something in his mind, and he looked up at Li Yuan.

"Zhendong, what you said is not unreasonable, if it is you, then what do you think should be done to save this Han Dynasty?"

"Alas,"

Liu Zhong looked at this great Confucian, an old minister who was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

sighed, "Teacher, you have been an official for many years, and you must know more truths than me, in fact, you should have already found out, but you don't want to think like this, let me say a word of disobedience, now this Han Dynasty is terminally ill, the sun sets, and the gas is about to run out!"

"The number of qi is about to run out, Zhendong you!"

Cai Yong looked at Li Yuan for a long time and couldn't speak, in fact, he understood what Liu Zhong said, and he had thought about it, but he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't even mention it, because he had been loyal to the Han Dynasty for dozens of years, how could he be willing to watch the gradual decline of the Han Dynasty.

"Luoyang is the center of the world, but also the land of right and wrong, there will be many disasters and disasters in the near future, the current prosperity is just an illusion, I dare to guarantee that within two years, this day will change!"

Liu Zhong pointed upwards with his hand, if there is not much butterfly effect, then the Three Kingdoms of the other world are no different from the Three Kingdoms of the real world.

He clearly remembered that soon after, the eunuch Zhang Rang would design to kill He Jin, Yuan Shao and others beheaded Zhang Rang and a group of eunuchs He Jin to take revenge, and then the beginning of the darkness of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing!

When he heard the sentence that the sky was going to change, Cai Yong's body couldn't help but stumble, and he almost fell to the ground, holding on to the table on the side to stabilize himself, but he couldn't care about so much, and hurriedly asked:

"The sky is about to change, Zhendong, what do you mean by that, do you mean it?"

"Teacher, the Han Dynasty will soon exist in name only, with all due respect, if you want to save your family's life, you should find an excuse to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, Liu Zhong will not have any good results in this place. ”

Liu Zhong shook his head, did not answer Cai Yong's question, but persuaded him to leave Luoyang, because only by shaking the old man could he justifiably abduct Cai Yan's two sisters.

"It can't be,"

Cai Yong's face was firm and said, "As a courtier of the Great Han, how can I leave easily!"

"Teacher, don't just think about yourself, besides, it's not a clever move for you to serve an unwise emperor like this, it's really foolish loyalty. The most important teacher, don't you think about it for your family? ”

Liu Zhong glanced at Cai Yan on the side and said slowly.

His words hit Cai Yong's weakness, Cai Yong now has no other relatives except Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, Cai Ling and Cai Mingji, the two sisters are the pearls of his palm, and they are more important than anything.

"Akihime, Ming. ”

Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan, and his determined face gradually eased.

"That's all I have to say, in a few days I will leave with Xu Zhu and Wang Wu and go to Liangzhou, teacher, think about it yourself. ”

Liu Zhong shook his head, glanced at Cai Yan next to him, and walked out of the hall with a sigh.

It's night.

Cai Yong was alone in the study, a candle was lit on the table, the soft candlelight shone on his face, and his wrinkled face showed a trace of tiredness, although he was holding a book in his hand, he kept thinking about what Liu Zhong said in his heart, and couldn't help but ask himself:"

Could it be that my big man is really hopeless?"
