Gai Jun and the Cai family waited for more than two months. What they received was not Cai Yong's person, but a letter with many words and only one meaning. He could not come back. This news was like a thunderbolt hitting the Cai family.
heart.
Cai Yong was a famous scholar in the world. The pardon order was passed to Shuofang. Local officials of all sizes saw him off. During the banquet, they were drunk. Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan, danced to invite him. He was the brother of Wang Fu, the official of the Central Committee. Although his brother died in Yang
However, he had been an official for many years and had many connections in the palace, so he was not implicated. Cai Yong disdained his behavior and refused to dance, so the banquet broke up unhappy. Wang Zhi was used to being arrogant, and now in
He lost face in front of others and could not let go for a long time, so he reported to the court that Cai Yong was resentful about his release and slandered the court. Cai Yong had many political enemies, and they all geared up to get rid of this thorn in his side and flesh. Cai Yong knew it.
Knowing this, he was worried and stayed in Bingzhou, not daring to come back.
Gai Jun felt very uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to admit that historical inertia has brought Cai Yong's fate back to its original point. If I remember correctly, he would be on the run for more than ten years until Dong Zhuo asked him to come out.
After calming down his irritated heart and comforting Cai Wan, Gai Jun ran to Yuan Mansion for help.
Yuan Shao knew his purpose, but looked embarrassed at his request. Cai Yong has always been upright, and he has offended countless people, and they are all narrow-minded people. What's more terrible is that they hold the power of the country in their hands.
He is arrogant and arrogant, and does not sell anyone's face. Not to mention that he is not the same as these people, even if he bites the bullet and goes there, he will only bring humiliation to himself.
Gai Jun said goodbye with a disappointed feeling. He was stopped by Xu You just a short distance away. He reminded him: "Ziying, you once offered a plan to exterminate locusts. You have done a great favor to the eunuch. Why don't you try it?"
?”
Gai Jun frowned and thought. After he entered the capital, Zhao Zhong, the imperial minister, sent invitations to him several times. However, he believed that he was incompatible with the eunuchs and they were very different from each other, so he refused without thinking. In this era, as long as you and the eunuchs
In the eyes of the scholars, you are just a piece of stinking shit. Cao Cao spent his whole life not getting rid of the reputation of "eunuch, eunuch and ugly". You can imagine the harm.
Xu You smiled and said: "Why should Ziying think too much? The most difficult debt to repay since ancient times is the debt of favor. Just remember that you are not begging them, but they are paying you back the favor."
Xu You's words made Gai Jun make up his mind, and he took a car to Zhao Mansion as soon as the holiday came. He did not ride a horse but took a car instead. After all, he still had scruples. He knew it was a cover-up, but he couldn't help but do so.
Done.
While Gai Yin was talking to the servants of the Zhao family, Gai Jun opened the car window and looked out. He was secretly shocked. There were many people waiting for Zhao Zhong to receive him here, not even leaving the Yuan Mansion.
When Zhao Zhong heard from his servants that Gai Ying from Dunhuang was visiting, he said: "My little friend is here." Then he refused to see other visitors.
Leaving Gai Yin to wait outside, Gai Jun followed the Zhao family's servants into the Zhao Mansion. He had long known that the Zhao Mansion was one of the most luxurious residences in Kyoto, but after seeing it in person, he could not help but be moved. The Zhao Mansion was no less luxurious than
The imperial garden is no exaggeration. The jade inlays, carved lanterns, pavilions and pavilions are all over the top, and exotic flowers, plants, and rare animals can be seen everywhere. What is even more exaggerated is that there is a small lake in the center of the house, which is the most beautiful scenery.
It was so beautiful that even Gai Jun couldn't help but look back on it again and again.
It is rumored that His Majesty Liu Hong once climbed up to the balcony of Yong'an Palace to overlook the panoramic view of Luoyang City. Zhao Zhong was afraid that the emperor would find that his residence did not meet the standards of a minister, so he ordered people to advise the emperor: "The emperor should not climb high, as climbing high will cause the people to disperse." Liu Hong
From then on, we really stopped climbing high. In ancient times, Zhao Gao deceived his emperor and called a deer a horse; today, Zhao Zhong lied to the emperor that he should not climb high. The methods of the two of them, both surnamed Zhao, can be said to be of the same origin.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at Zhao Zhong's reception room, and finally saw this eunuch who was famous for later generations. He was dressed in brocade robes, sitting on a mat, with a fair complexion and no beard, very thin, and a pair of bright eyes.
Thin and long, it gives people a smart look. Due to proper maintenance, the specific age cannot be seen.
Zhao Zhong looked at Gai Jun quietly, and while inviting him to take a seat, he sighed: "Ziying, I have been waiting for you for two years!" Unlike the imaginary male duck sang, he spoke softly and slowly.
, very personable.
After Gai Jun sat down, he clasped his fists and said, "Forgive me, Chang Shi. Chang Shi is an important minister of the country. How dare I join you, the other students?" Zhusheng refers to the students of the Imperial College, and is often used to refer to themselves as students of the Imperial College.
Zhao Zhong shook his head and said with a smile: "Ziying was granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, and he was also a young boy. He said that all his colleagues were entrusted with him, so how could he be clinging to it? I'm afraid it's true that he doesn't want to be with us."
"Shi Chang's words are serious."
Zhao Zhong asked: "How old is Ziying?"
"eighteen."
"Are you interested in joining the palace as a husband in advance? In the palace, you can hear about the world's political affairs. In the future, whether you are in the government or abroad, you will benefit a lot."
Faced with Zhao Zhong's solicitation, Gai Jun shook his head and refused: "Yu Zudetongzilang is extremely frightened. He has not yet completed his studies and becomes an official rashly. I'm afraid it will undermine the success of his career."
Zhao Zhong didn't pay attention and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't force it. I recently read the local official documents and found that my respected father Gai Hanyang managed the business quite prosperously. In my opinion, his talent can definitely do it."
Does Ziying take the position of public minister seriously?"
Gai Jun said solemnly: "The son of man dare not comment on his father in front of others."
"Everyone talks about Gai Ying's filial piety, and it's true. What's even more rare is that you have a stable and moderate character. I'm afraid your future achievements will be higher than those of Gai Hanyang who respects his father."
"Yu Ding should keep his words in mind as an encouragement."
"I wonder if I will have the chance to see that day. Hmm... Ziying doesn't come to visit for anything. If there is anything, just come through."
Gai Jun said calmly: "I am here for Cai Yilang this time."
"Cai Bojie... I should have guessed this..." Zhao Zhongshu frowned, and after a while, he slowly said: "Ziying has given me a big problem... That's all! I never owe anyone anything.
Ziying once helped me a lot as a favor, but I never got a chance to return the favor. I feel deeply regretful in my heart, so I will return it to you this time."
"Chang Shi's words are true, Cai Yilang will definitely get it right. Thank you, Chang Shi." Gai Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Jiaowei Qin will be burned as firewood because no one appreciates it, and will never be born again, but it can be compared with Cai Yongji.
Compared with the hardships suffered by his family, nothing is worth it.
Zhao Zhong waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me too much. Cai Bojie has offended countless people, and I can only help him this time. You'd better...forget it. I know very well what Cai Bojie is like, and it's all in vain."
explain."
Gai Jun smiled bitterly, how could he not know that Zhao Zhong asked Cai Yong to control his mouth, but the fact is that as Zhao Zhong said, Cai Yong has an upright character, and he will speak out when he encounters someone he doesn't like. This is his nature
So, who can persuade him? Then again, if he really keeps silent, will he still be the Cai Bozhe that everyone in the world admires?
"It is not appropriate for Cai Bojie to return to Beijing. Let him return to his hometown."
Gai Jun naturally knew this and nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while. Zhao Zhong looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. Ziying can stay for dinner."
"Dare to disobey orders."
Gai Jun was born into a wealthy family, what kind of food has he never tasted? But when he sat on the Zhao's table, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that he was ignorant, not to mention the delicacies he didn't know, the production techniques were unheard of, and the taste was also unheard of.
It's quite delicious, and there's also that peerless wine that makes people feel intoxicated just by smelling it.);.
