All six thousand cavalry were stationed in the city, replacing the southern and northern armies. Jia Dong and his two men even sent cavalry patrol teams to patrol the city. Anyone who encountered a crime was immediately arrested. The situation in the capital was due to the
People are slowly changing, and public security has improved significantly.
The Southern Army and the Northern Army were the most elite armies of the Han Dynasty. They wiped out the Yellow Turbans, suppressed rebellions, and fought against the Qiang people. Now that He Jinxin has died, the army is leaderless. After Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo made an agreement, they divided the Northern and Southern armies. In this complicated situation,
In Luoyang City, having military power is the greatest guarantee.
As for the Xiyuan Army, it is controlled by members of the family and cannot get involved.
Among the three hundred cavalry, a two-horse carriage advanced slowly. When had such a formation appeared in Luoyang City? Passers-by gave way.
Upstairs at the Heroes of the City, a middle-aged scribe dressed in white stared closely at the carriage below, his eyes shining brightly, and the wine cup in his hand was slightly deformed by the force he held it in. If Jia Rong were here, he would definitely be able to catch a glimpse of it.
He recognized this middle-aged scribe as Wang Yue, who almost killed Jia Rong in Wuwei that day.
Wang Yue's abilities were relatively outstanding. After the death of the Han Emperor, Wang Yue was specially appointed as the emperor's sword master.
After Jia Dong led 6,000 cavalry into the city, various versions were available in restaurants and tea shops. Especially the 300 cavalry who just walked through the streets were even more controversial. In the past, if the emperor had not been on patrol, who would have dared
Use three hundred cavalry as escort in Luoyang City.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Cai Mansion. Compared with the turmoil of open and secret fighting in the court, the Cai Mansion still gave people a comfortable and quiet feeling. Cai Yong had been away from the government for many days and had been staying in the capital with a group of people.
The friends chatted about everything, studied poetry and songs, and lived quite comfortably.
Three hundred armored men dismounted and stood guard in front of the Cai Mansion. They nervously looked at the surroundings of the Cai Mansion. The Xiliang Army had no roots in the capital. Jia Rong's safety was of great importance to the Xiliang Army.
important.
Nowadays, the situation in Luoyang is not stable, especially with such a big enemy as the Yuan family. Naturally, we have to be more careful in our actions. He led the cavalry to walk in the city. Jia Rong did not comment on the opinions of the people. Nothing was as important as his life.
The faint sound of the piano sounded again, bringing back Jia Rong's past memories, as if he had returned to that full-moon night. Two figures were rustling in a corner of Cai Mansion, playing with the Kongming lanterns, looking at the wish-filled
The Kongming Lantern rose into the sky, and the two people cheered and jumped.
When he came to Cai Mansion, Jia Rong felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation. It seemed like he was home and made people feel safe.
Nowadays, Cai Yong does not hold any position in the court. The former can appear in the court because of Jia Rong. Since Jia Rong was dismissed from office by the Han Emperor and then hunted to the vast desert, Cai Yong was also forced to
After breaking away from his master-disciple status, he resigned from his official position. He drank at home, composed poems and played the piano and attended meetings every day. He lived a very carefree life. The incident involving Jia Rong was also the trigger for Cai Yong to resign from his official position.
"Zhiyuan, sit down quickly." Cai Yong handed the wine cup to Jia Rong and said kindly.
Jia Rong sat down unceremoniously, raised his head to drink the wine, smacked it in his mouth and said: "The wine is a little more delicate, not as bold as the wine from Bian County."
Cai Yong did not blame Jia Rong for being rude and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan has been in a border county for a long time, but can he still adapt to Luoyang?"
Jia Rong said: "It's just that the place is too big, so I'm not used to it."
The master and apprentice burst into hearty laughter at each other.
The sound of gentle footsteps came along with a burst of fragrance, "Father, what kind of distinguished guest has come to the house? Why are there so many soldiers guarding the door?" Cai Yan opened the sandalwood mouth lightly, and a string of cheerful notes came out.
Jia Rong's thinking was slightly sluggish, and he turned his head to stare at the speaker.
After several years of separation, the beauty's appearance is even better than before, and the shadow of the original can be faintly seen on her face.
Cai Yan looked at Jia Rong blankly and said excitedly: "Jia, Brother Jia, is it really you?"
Jia Rong nodded slightly and smiled at Cai Yan.
Cai Yong on the side coughed uncomfortably, causing Cai Yan to immediately turn red in the face and keep crossing his hands in front of his chest, just like a child who had done something wrong.
Looking at Cai Yan, Jia Rong couldn't help but lament the passage of time. The little girl had turned into a beautiful girl like a flower. Jia Rong was very pleased that Cai Yan could still remember him. Looking at her expression, it was not because of time.
Somewhat unfamiliar due to distance.
Cai Yong said: "Yan'er, go and ask the servants to prepare for Zhiyuan."
Cai Yan responded and hurried away, looking at Jia Rong reluctantly before leaving.
"I wonder how Zhiyuan views the situation between the DPRK and China?" Cai Yong said, taking a sip of wine.
Jia Rong knew that this was the main event. Cai Yong had always been a heavyweight in the Han Dynasty. Every word and word he spoke must be considered for the country, the country, and the country. Although the previous "water can carry a boat and capsize it" subverted Cai Yong to a certain extent.
Regarding the country and people's understanding, when the country encountered a crisis, Cai Yong would still stand up without hesitation. The Han Dynasty of nearly four hundred years could not be changed with one or two remarks.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jia Rong said: "China is currently facing difficulties. If all civil and military officials work together, within a few years, the Han Dynasty will surely return to its prosperous times."
Cai Yong smiled and nodded, quietly waiting for the next step.
"But in the court, everyone is not united. People with lofty ideals are criticized. In the court, there are only the opinions of those big and aristocratic families. If you listen too much, you will be enlightened, and if you listen too much, it will be dark."
Before Jia Rong finished speaking, Cai Yong interrupted: "Zhiyuan means to hire talented people, just like you did in Jincheng County, Beidi County?"
Jia Rong shook his head and said: "The temple is related to the life and death of the whole country. It is not like a county. If we recruit talents like the Jincheng North Land, we will definitely encounter counterattacks from the aristocratic families, and the dying man can no longer withstand it.
It’s a big deal, and the gain outweighs the loss, and the teacher must have seen this; a good way at the moment is to use the disparaged party members to divide the power of the family."
Cai Yong put away his smile, stared at Jia Rong with a solemn expression, and sighed: "Is this the end of a man who has been a man for more than three hundred years? It is so difficult for a famous family to hand over power."
Jia Rong dissuaded him and said: "Teacher, be careful if it spreads to the ears of aristocratic families and becomes the subject of criticism."
"Haha, I don't have an official position, what can a wealthy family do to me?" Cai Yong's free and easy tone contained a hint of bitterness.
Jia Rong said: "Teacher, I will recommend the teacher to the Holy One soon."
Cai Yong's mouth moved slightly and refused: "Zhiyuan must not do this. I have already decided to stay away from the court and enjoy my family in peace."
"Teacher, do you want to see the man go on like this? The Holy Master is young and weak, and strong ministers bully the Lord, which will inevitably cause people's hearts to wander. When the country is in crisis, it is the time for a man to step forward. Why should he be afraid of death?" Jia Rong
Generously.
Cai Yong took Jia Rong's hands and said with a trembling tone: "It's a blessing for the country that Zhiyuan has such a heart. It's just me..."
"Teacher, there is no need to embarrass him. Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force him too much." In the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited Cai Yong as an official, even at the cost of his family's lives, but Jia Rong did not want to embarrass this kind old man.
"I'll think about it for a few more days." Cai Yong sighed for a long time as he kept pacing in the pavilion.
Jia Rong smiled and nodded. As long as Cai Yong didn't veto it, it meant that he still had a chance. Above the court, he and Dong Zhuo alone would definitely not be able to achieve great things. Since he came to Luoyang with Dong Zhuo,
About to do something big, the little butterfly is finally going to spread its wings and let the world see how powerful this butterfly is.
Cai Yong's influence in the court is undoubted. A great scholar in the country has countless followers in the Han Dynasty, which is similar to the fans of later generations. Cai Yong stood in the court and raised his arms, and scholars gathered.
The court is also a river and lake. It is easy to enter, but it is difficult to escape at such a critical moment.
"Actually, it's very simple to want aristocratic families to hand over power. Teacher, think about what these aristocratic families are most afraid of?"
Cai Yongdao thought for a moment and said, "Losing power?"
Jia Rong shook his head and said slowly: "Fate!"
Cai Yong looked at Jia Rong in surprise and said: "Could it be that Zhiyuan wants to seize power by force? Absolutely not. You don't know how powerful those aristocratic families are. If you anger them, the consequences will be disastrous."
Seeing that Jia Rong just smiled and said nothing, Cai Yong shook his head helplessly.
The meal served by Cai Yong was very simple, but in the eyes of Cai Yong, who lived a simple life, it was extremely luxurious. This meal made Jia Rong feel extremely warm, like a wanderer returning home and feeling the warmth brought by home. The only regret was
But Wei Zhongdao didn't come.
The two masters and apprentices drank and drank together, talking about everything from the government to the public and interesting things among the people. During this period, they even talked about the marriage of Jia Rong and Wei Fu. This matter was a major focus of the Han Dynasty. After all, Wei Fu was Yuan Shu's alias.
His wife was "forcibly snatched away" by Jia Rong, which was the most discussed topic in Luoyang City.
After having enough wine and food, Jia Rong came to the courtyard of Cai Mansion a little tipsy.
The slow music of the piano sounded in the sky above the Cai Mansion, attracting Jia Rong's fascination, and he unconsciously headed towards the source of the music.
Cai Yan, dressed in white, stroked the strings lightly, and wisps of cheerful music flowed through his fingers. Even Jia Rong's half-skilled music level made him feel indescribably comfortable.
When he raised his head, he found the figure in the distance. The music of the piano stopped suddenly. Their eyes met each other, and the air in the middle seemed to freeze. Under the stimulation of alcohol, Jia Rong looked at Cai Yan with a trace of desire.
Forcibly suppressing it, I don't want this feeling to become stronger and stronger, and a desire to possess it fills my chest.
"Brother." Cai Yan looked a little flustered under Jia Rong's gaze, lowered his head and shouted softly.
Jia Rong woke up with a start, secretly thinking about his lapse just now, and said with a smile: "Yan'er's playing the piano sounds so good, my eldest brother was a little stunned when he heard it."
Cai Yan said happily: "Brother, is it true?"
Looking at Cai Yan's expectant eyes, Jia Rong nodded lightly.
"Then I'll play another song for my eldest brother." After saying this, Cai Yan sat down next to the piano, and the music sounded again.
I recommend a good book "The Invincible Hypnotist". Friends who like it can check it out. There are parking spaces on the Iron Riding page.
