Talking about Gai Jun, the carriage fell into a brief silence, but not long after, Wang Can couldn't help but speak again: "Er Yuan has no intention of Sheji, and Gai Qiao rides both ends. Is it true that the four hundred years of Han Zuo are going to be ruined here?"
Can Dong Zhuo’s hand succeed?”
"Since Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, although he has not lost all his energy and ambition, he first wanted to imitate Jiang Ziya, the Grand Duke of Zhou, and call him Shang father..." Wei Zhongdao had a sarcastic and disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, like this
Expressions of strong emotions don't often appear on his face. "Fortunately, Cai Zhonglang dissuaded him on the grounds that Guandong was not peaceful."
"Dong Zhuo then ordered Liu Xiao, the lieutenant of the Sili School, to investigate those who were unfilial as sons, unfaithful as ministers, unclean as officials, and disobedient as younger brothers. All of them would be punished, and their property would be lost. So the villains even fulfilled their duties and led to corruption.
, there were thousands of unjust deaths, and the people were horrified. They dared not speak on the road, but only dared to look at them. Moreover, Dong Zhuo did not stop digging the tombs in Beimang. After returning, he also dug up the tombs of emperors in Guanzhong, exposing the tombs of Emperor Shizong (Han Dynasty).
Emperor Wu) Dragon Body..."
"From these three things, we can imagine that Dong Zhuo will be even crazier in the future. The princes of the court will never just watch Dong Zhuo continue to do whatever he wants. The fierce battle is about to begin, or in other words, it has already begun." It seems.
Talking too much in one breath drained away the little energy in Wei Zhongdao's body. He looked sluggish and looked out the car window with a dull look.
Wang Can was thoughtful and asked: "Zhongdao, who do you think will have the last laugh?"
Wei Zhongdao didn't respond at all, as if he didn't hear anything. After a long time, Wang Can persisted in asking questions. Wei Zhongdao couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said lazily: "How do I know?"
Wang Can couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and then he raised his head and laughed. Wei Zhongdao was so smart that he moved the capital to Chang'an, Yuan Shao stole everything from Zhao, and even Dong Zhuo's defeat was all predicted. Wang Can almost thought he was a god.
, it turns out that he was also unsure about something.
Wei Zhongdao glanced at his friend sideways and said in a steady voice: "What's so ridiculous? I'm not a god, how can I predict everything."
Wang Can said nothing and only smiled.
Wei Zhongdao was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he simply leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest.
Gaoyang Township Marquis Mansion.
Cai Yong became the official of Zuo Zhonglang and was granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang Township. He was regarded as a confidant by Dong Zhuo and was highly trusted by the court. He was also famous for his talent and learning and wrote famous works all over the world. Every holiday, chariots and horses filled the alleys and guests sat there.
.Today, the Marquis Mansion in Gaoyang Township is somewhat quiet compared to the bustle of the past.
It's not that Cai Yong suddenly lost power. His son-in-law Gai Ying was the most powerful person in Tianzhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo didn't value his talent, he still had to worship him like his ancestors. He will invite two young men to his home today, so he closed the door
Thank you at the door.
It was rare to steal some leisure time. Cai Yong sat on the ground in a lush bamboo forest, put the piano on his lap, and touched the seven strings with both hands. In an instant, the sound of the piano poured out from his fingertips like a clear spring, filling the empty courtyard.
The tune is quiet and beautiful, with melodious melody, which has the effect of calming people's hearts. It is Gai Jun's famous work, "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand", known as the "Divine Comedy".
One of the two young guests he invited today is his old friend, Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan, who have just turned fifteen. This boy is ugly but talented, and has a photographic memory. Cai Yong once rose to the throne of his second daughter Cai Yong.
Yan married him. Naturally, it was settled in the end...
Thinking of his daughter Cai Yan, Cai Yong was slightly confused, which inevitably affected the performance of his playing. The sound of the piano was still very beautiful to ordinary people's ears, but he knew that the sound quality was mixed and no longer pure. At that moment, he sighed in his heart,
stop.
It has been eight months since Cai Wan, his son Cai Gui, his daughter-in-law Yangnan, and his daughter Cai Yan left Chang'an in mid-September last year and went to Jinyang to visit Cai Wan. At first, Cai Yong didn't care, thinking that his children would linger around and be unhappy.
He longed to return, but as time passed, he became suspicious and sent letters urging him to return as soon as possible. However, Cai Wan and Gai Jun ignored him and talked about him over and over again. Cai Yong is an old man, so there is no reason for ignorance.
Understand that they probably won't come back.
Cai Yong was not too angry about Gai Jun and Cai Wan's actions. He could understand their thoughts. In fact, he didn't know that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and ungrateful and could not last long. However, no matter what he was like, Dong Zhuo always had an understanding of him.
Well. Before Cai Yong was thirty-eight years old, he had been cultivating his reputation and studying latently. When he was nearly forty, he entered the Situqiao Xuanfu and entered an official career. After that, he either became a minister without power, or entered the history of Dongguan School.
His talents could not be extended. At the age of forty-six, he was persecuted by Cheng Huang, the official servant of the Central Committee, and stayed in Bianshuofang. From then on, he served as an official for twelve years.
These twelve years were the best twelve years for a politician, but he could only sigh and sigh while trapped at home, hating the heaven for being unfair to him.
When Dong Zhuo summoned him, he hesitated for a long time because of his son-in-law Gai Jun. However, he was already fifty-seven years old at this time, and countless people who were younger, less knowledgeable, and less qualified than he were.
He was ranked among the three nobles and nine ministers. He was unwilling to accept it. He obviously had talents that he had not yet used, so how could he die at home in obscurity...
After thinking about it this way, I figured it out and decided to serve as an official again in response to Dong Zhuo's campaign.
Due to well-known reasons, Dong Zhuo did not dare to confide in him, but he still gave him great power and listened to his advice. In this way, Cai Yong assisted Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly, and was unmoved by the rumors and slander.
"It's good to be alone. If an accident happens in the future, at least you don't have to worry about the safety of your children." Cai Yong's mentality became more natural. He moved his fingers and the sound of the piano sounded again, hanging in the sky, and then spread in all directions.
Cai Yong devoted himself to the music and played for about half an hour. A servant came to announce that the distinguished guest invited by the master had arrived. Upon hearing this, Cai Yong pressed the strings, stood up and walked out.
Although he acquiesced to his children living in Jinyang, he still had to make a decision on the marriage of his younger daughter Cai Yan. Cai Yan was fifteen years old and had reached the marriageable age. In fact, there was no problem in postponing it for a few years. However, Cai Yong was worried about something going wrong.
Sooner rather than later. He asked Wang Can to bring Wei Zhongdao this time. He heard that Wei Zhongdao was handsome and talented. He was a first-class outstanding figure among the Imperial Academy and his family background was impeccable. He wanted to see it for himself.
Look, if you like him, I will marry Cai Yan to him.
Wei Zhongdao had no idea what Cai Yong was thinking. Cai Yong always liked to support his juniors, so when he heard Wang Can say that Cai Zhonglang was invited, he was not too surprised. After all, he was still somewhat famous in Taixue. In fact, Wang Can didn't know.
Cai Yong's thoughts. However, when the two parties met, Cai Yong frequently cast strange looks at Wei Zhongdao. Both of them were delicate and sensitive people, and they immediately understood Cai Yong's inner plan.
Wang Can, who had the chance to become the son-in-law of the Cai family, had no abnormality on his face. Cai Yong only mentioned it to him once, half-jokingly, but not countless times. And although Cai Yan is not a person who only looks at looks, but like Wang Can,
She would not fall in love with a man who was short, dark-skinned, and ugly, no matter how talented he was. She could count on one hand the number of times they had met.
Cai Yan entered the capital with his father at the age of thirteen. He was the second most talented and beautiful person in the world. He was second to Cai Wan and was ranked first by the good people in the capital. He was the dream wife of any young man. Wei Zhongdao was naturally not exempt from the commonality. Due to his character
, even though he was very happy in his heart, the reaction on his face was just a bright smile.
Don't you know that this kind of steady attitude gained him a lot of points in Cai Yong's eyes?
When it comes to the most knowledgeable people in the world, Cai Yong asked himself the second best, and no one dared to say that he was the first. However, Wang Can had an extraordinary memory. He could be educated by what he heard, had a photographic memory, and could recite thousands of volumes of books even when his hair was tied. At the time, Cai Yong met him.
We have been friends with him for many years because of the fact that he can easily pick up any topic, extend it, and talk endlessly. Wei Zhongdao also learned a lot of things and has unique insights, otherwise he would not be recognized by the always proud Wang Can.
Become a confidant.
The three of them sat across from each other and discussed the Tao, and their words flowed like a river, flowing thousands of miles away. During this period, they were full of witty remarks, exaggerated and exaggerated, and they were full of fun.
The more Cai Yong saw Wei Zhongdao, the more he liked him. Wang Can was knowledgeable but not brilliant, but this man was smart but not knowledgeable. His comments were not derogatory, but complimentary. Wei Zhongdao did not speak much, but he often hit the point.
When talking about something, he would use the topic to his advantage and lead the topic to his area of expertise. There is no doubt that this is a person who is good at letting others discover his strengths.
When they were talking about day and night, Cai Yong invited the two of them to have a meal. After the meal, he took Wang Can to play chess while Wei Zhongdao watched. Cai Yong was defeated in three battles and had no power to backhand. Instead of being angry, he laughed and gave way to
Wei Zhongdao himself played the piano "Goose Falling on the Sand" to add to the fun. This was the first time Wei Zhongdao heard the "Divine Comedy", and he couldn't help but sigh that there was such a wonderful sound in the world. He looked at it frequently. His chess skills were not as good as Wang Can's.
In the middle of the game, there is no way out and you have to admit defeat.
After that, the three of them had another conversation, which lasted until sunset. Cai Yong personally sent him to the door of the house and said bluntly that if there is no meeting tomorrow morning, he will not be absent, and he will have to drag you two to talk all night long.
Wei Zhongdao, Wang Can thanked and said goodbye.
Cai Yong watched the carriage go away, quietly making up his mind...
--------------------------
Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, Jinyang.
After Gai Jun returned home, he played with his children during the day and slept with his wife at night. He slept until the sun was shining brightly the next day, and then he was reluctantly dragged up by Cai Wan. Gai Jun rubbed his eyes and muttered that he was going to be late.
It doesn't hurt to have some. He sat obediently in front of the dressing table. It was obvious at a glance that he was not awake and was just asking for some lip service.
Cai Wan couldn't help laughing when she saw her husband talking nonsense.
Gai Jun hummed and said, "She's very happy. It's not all your fault. My waist still feels sore."
Cai Wan understood her husband's subtext, and her cheeks turned red, as if they were dyed with morning glow, and she was extremely beautiful. The two had been separated for almost five months, and there was bound to be passion in the bed, burning brightly and not easily extinguished. Cai Wan didn't know what to do for a moment.
How to respond, I had to pretend not to hear, use a towel to cleanse my husband's face, wipe his hands, then comb and tie his hair...
After Cai Wan's careful grooming and grooming, Gai Jun looked brand new. He wore a nine-pin crown on his head, a light red robe, a gold seal and purple robe around his waist, and square-toed silk shoes. He no longer looked lazy and was full of energy.
, the majesty increased greatly.
Accompanied by Cai Wan, Gai Jun simply ate some breakfast, then ordered hundreds of cavalry to clear the way, and went straight to the governor's department. The officials of Bingzhou, led by Wang Xin and Li Mo, who were not driving, had been waiting for a long time. When they saw his arrival, they gathered immediately
The officials held a state court meeting.
Gai Jun sat upright on the main seat, calmly accepting the officials' worship, and then everyone took their places. As soon as Wang Xin sat down, he turned back to a young man in his twenties and said: "Yanlong, please present the documents you prepared yesterday to the envoy." Jun."
"Nuo." The young man named Yanlong is Sun Zi, a native of Taiyuan. He was bereaved at the age of three and was raised by his father and brother. He was a well-known imperial scholar and was highly appreciated by Wang Yun. Later, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, but he did not want to go to the West. He returned home due to illness. Logically speaking, he should belong to the Bingzhou faction, but the person who recommended him was the crown prince of the Hanoi faction, the leader Bo Yangjun, so he cannot be simply divided into factions.
Fortunately, since Gai Jun forcefully suppressed Bingzhou's number one family, whose surname was Taiyuan Guo, Wang Xin, who had the dual identities of Gai Jun's in-laws and a disciple of the Guo Lin clan, successfully became the leader of the Bingzhou clique. Wang Xin was a stoic man, tactful, and got along well with the Hanoi clique. However, I wonder if he will be able to do it as smoothly as he does now when the Yingchuan Clan moves north in a big way. If he is smart enough, he should know how to do it.
Gai Jun took the thick pile of documents and randomly picked out a few pieces. After carefully reviewing them, he found nothing wrong, so he nodded and ignored the others. He would not read these documents until the end of the court or when he returned home. .
"Has all the money and food from Jizhou entered the country?" Gai Jun turned to Zhizhong Li Mo and asked. Biejia replaced the governor of Xuanhua Yizhou and held the prestigious position of "half of the governor", and Zhizhong was in charge of selecting offices and recording To put it simply and clearly, there is nothing that the general manager of a state cannot control.
During the treatment, Li You shook his head and said: "There are still 30 to 40% trapped in the mountains."
"Urge me more, hurry up." Gai Jun's tone was slightly harsh. He led his troops south, defeated Dong Zhuo, and restored the imperial capital. Now that he's back, there are actually quite a few grain transport convoys wandering around in the mountains. What the fuck! What is the efficiency?
"promise."
This time Gai Jun got huge benefits from the tombs in Beimang Mountain. These things took up a lot of space. He couldn't help but ask: "Is the warehouse enough?"
After getting permission from Zhizhong Li Miao, his brother-in-law Cai Gui, currently serving as Zhizhong's official, replied: "I am responsible for this area. I have sent people to build six treasuries in the city, and another four are under construction. There will be no delay. thing."
Gai Jun felt relieved and asked everyone in the hall if they had anything to report. If nothing happened, the court would disperse.
Sima Zhi stood up without hesitation. He was Sima Lang, Sima Yi's clan brother. Although he had not entered Gai Jun's inner circle for the time being, he served as a capital official and was in charge of inspecting hundreds of officials who violated the law, which was equivalent to the imperial court. Yushi Zhongcheng, a high-ranking and powerful person, was second only to Lord Bo Yangjun in the Hanoi system.
Sima Zhi said word by word: "I want to accuse Bo Cao of being a king, stealing the country's wealth for his own benefit, his family has accumulated tens of thousands, running amok in Jinyang, accepting refugees, indulging his relatives, and living in a land of fish and meat."
Shocking...
Wang Ji was a native of Qi County, Taiyuan. Bo Cao was in charge of money and food, and his power was second only to the Troika of the Governor's Department. Biejia, Zhizhong, and Bo Cao were in charge, which was equivalent to the duties of the Duguan.
This is not the point. The point is that he is the younger brother of Wang Yun, the current Situ leader.
