"There is no common denominator in the world, but everyone is in his own way." [Zhuangzi·Xu Wugui]
Ma Rixi personally handed over Cai Yong's memorial to Wang Yun, and advised him from the side: "Cai Yong is an outstanding talent and is familiar with the stories of the two Han Dynasties. He should be allowed to continue compiling history to complete the grand ceremony of a generation and fulfill the wishes of all previous emperors and Confucian scholars.
.Moreover, Cai Yong has always been famous for his loyalty and filial piety, and he has not committed any serious crimes. Killing him hastily will only chill the hearts of the people. I also ask the prince to pardon Cai Bojie for the sake of the world."
Ever since he was betrayed by scholars Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others, Wang Yun no longer had a good impression of the Kansai scholars. Naturally, he could not tolerate others criticizing his decision. Wang Yun did not take Ma Rixi's words seriously and said: "
Emperor Xiaowu did not kill Sima Qian, which caused Sima Qian to write a slanderous book, which was passed down to later generations and ruined the reputation of Emperor Wu. Now that the country is in decline and the army is in the suburbs, do I still want such sycophants to write and compile history for Your Majesty to read, and then order us to do so?
Are we going to suffer slander together?"
Ma Rixi's heart suddenly became cold. He understood what Wang Yun meant. He was worried that Cai Yong would have selfish motives in revising history after escaping death, and would slander Wang Yun more and ruin his reputation after his death. At the same time, he was also worried that the emperor
When I grew up, I read Cai Yongxiu's history books and followed what others said, and became prejudiced against him.
If Cai Yong hadn't been a good friend of Ma Rixi, how could he, who was also the third prince, be willing to lower his head and ask Wang Yun for mercy? Unexpectedly, Wang Yun refused to take hard and soft words, and his hostility towards the Kansai scholars was revealed in his words.
This made Ma Rixi extremely embarrassed and angry.
"Situ!" Ma Rixi said sternly: "We didn't say at the beginning that Cai Bojie must be punished!"
These words contained dissatisfaction with Wang Yun's ability to make opinions and use personal grudges against Cai Yong.
Wang Yun had long felt that he had been tricked by the Kansai people. At this time, he was angry with Ma Rixi. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "I didn't say that I wouldn't punish Cai Yong at the beginning. What's more, isn't it a crime for Cai Yong to attach himself to Dong Ni? You
Not only do they want to pardon him, but they also want him to go to Lantai to study history. They are not punished for their mistakes, but they are even rewarded. How can such a thing happen in this world?"
Ma Rixi was furious. It was not that he didn't know about Shi Sunrui and the Yang family's defection to the emperor. He just thought of the overall situation and never expressed his position in response to the emperor's hints. This time he came to ask for forgiveness on behalf of Cai Yong.
To help my friend escape from prison, I also want to restore the harmonious and harmonious relationship in the past. No matter what happens, it will not lead to a tense situation and a fight to the death.
Now knowing that Wang Yun's mind has been made up and it will be difficult to change it, Ma Rixi has since given up his intention to repair. Since he cannot be a friend, he can only become an enemy. In fact, this is also in Ma Rixi's expectation. He is not like a scholar.
Sun Rui was so naive that he once thought that Wang Yun would be impartial and make Guanxi and Guandong into one rope.
Any hostile force will temporarily repair in order to target another hostile force. After defeating the common enemy, the loose alliance will immediately disperse and begin to compete for power. This is the case for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in later generations. Today's Kanto and Kansai
The same is true for the gentry.
After leaving the Chancellor's Desk, Ma Rixi, who had changed his mind, returned to Taiwei's Mansion and told the people who came to inquire about the news: "The rules and regulations are maintained by those with noble virtues; the classics are obtained by compiling history books." Wang
If Situ destroys the discipline and abolishes the canons, I’m afraid he won’t be able to live long in this world!”
These words were like announcing Cai Yong's death sentence on behalf of Wang Yun, and also like announcing his dissatisfaction with Wang Yun. Everyone in the hall was shocked. Some people stamped their feet and cursed Wang Yun for being harsh and arrogant, avenging private revenge; some people saw that Cai Yong had no hope of saving him.
, cried on the spot...
"Wang Yun is arbitrary and rude, and does not listen to good advice. What he does is no different from Dong Zhuo!"
It was Taiwei's fifth patrol who knew Ma Rixi's intentions and stepped forward and said: "The Taiwei should know that Wang Situ's recent rewards are either from the same town or county, or from relatives and friends of his family, followed by the powerful families of Guandong. Seeing that the imperial court
There will be another figure like Dong Zhuo, Taiwei, in the film. At this time, we must not only save Cai Gong from fire and water, but also step forward and eradicate the powerful officials!"
Some of the people in the hall had played a role in the execution of the directors and had long been dissatisfied with Wang Yun's favor. After being provoked, they all agreed and started making noises, just like in a busy market.
Ma Rixi knew that Wang Yun had gradually aroused public resentment, and had already made a plan in his mind. He was about to stop, when he heard someone say loudly: "The situation has not reached a desperate situation, why do you give up on yourself?"
A young man of no more than fifteen years old stood aside the crowd and walked directly in front of Ma Rixi. He was unattractive in appearance and thin in stature, making him look frail. But everyone who knew him knew that this small body contained profound knowledge. At that time, Cai Yong
When I heard that this man was visiting, I was delighted to welcome him and praised him, saying, "My books and articles are worthy of his visit."
Ma Rixi recognized this young man as Wang Can. His great-grandfather Wang Gong and grandfather Wang Chang were both three princes. They had a prominent family background and belonged to a wealthy family in Shanyang County. Although Wang Can was young, he had extraordinary talents, a wide knowledge of natural history and a good memory.
He is outstanding, he can never forget what he reads, and his articles are first-class. In time, he will definitely be ranked among the high officials like his ancestors.
Wang Can became famous at a young age. At this time, Ma Rixi stepped forward and did not treat him as a child. He asked seriously: "Why do you say this?"
"Going back to the Taiwei, in my opinion, Wang Situ is strong when he is strong. After all, this power was obtained by killing his ministers and colleagues, and it was not obtained properly. What's more, after Dong Zhuo's death, not only was there no peace in the court, but it was even more bizarre than before.
It's complicated, this is a great opportunity for me to return to protect Mr. Cai."
Ma Rixi was well aware of the treacherous nature of the imperial dynasty. On the day Dong was executed, Sun Rui, Yang Qi, Yang Zan and others betrayed their alliance and stood on the side of the emperor to oppose Wang Yun. At that time, he regarded Sun Rui and others as
The traitors scoffed, but as the situation developed, Wang Yun fell into disrepair, and Ma Rixi was convinced by the foresight of the three of them.
Seeing that Wang Can was talking about everything, the fifth patrol retorted disdainfully: "So what? Looking at the court, in terms of power, how many people can compare to Wang Situ? Chunyu Sikong is a disciple of the Yuan family.
He has always been towards Wang Situ and would not say a good word on this matter; Huangfu Zhengxi is quite famous, but he dare not come forward when encountering trouble, and we went to persuade him but were indifferent; as for the Taiwei and Shangshu Ling, everyone also
I know Wang Situ’s attitude. Although this is a good time, there is no one to help me, so what can I do!”
"That's ridiculous, you have forgotten that there is Your Majesty now!" Wang Can was so arrogant as a young man that he ignored the other party's age and said bluntly: "Although Your Majesty is in his early years, he is smart, steady and well-mannered. Since the day Dong Zhuo was executed,
It can be seen that Your Majesty has the city in mind, even Wang Situ cannot resist it completely. Since the minister of the court cannot persuade Wang Situ to change the order, why don't we ask Your Majesty to come forward?"
