() The fragrance of Cai Yan lingered in the house. She left as gently as she came, waving her sleeves without taking away a single cloud. Jia Rong suddenly remembered this poem by Xu Zhimo.
In the moment when he was lost, Jia Rong thought of many things. First of all, Wei Fu in Jincheng. He thought that when he was broke and broke, Wei Fu had always followed him. Although he did not express his intention, Jia Rong also understood the meaning.
, but at that time, he was not successful and his reputation was not good, so he did not openly accept Wei Fu.
When Wei Fu resolutely blocked Wang Yue's sword for herself, Jia Rong felt the weight of Wei Fu in his heart. Now, he fell in love with Cai Yan again. Is this worthy of his wife who is far away in Jincheng? As a second wife
Aspiring young men in the eleventh century still believed in the system of monogamy.
When I think of Wei Fu, I naturally think of Xiu'er, that shy and beautiful woman who had the courage to confess her love to her before leaving.
"My lord, in five days it will be Lord Situ Wangyun's birthday. Would you like my lord to send someone to celebrate?"
Jia Xu's question interrupted Jia Rong's thoughts, and he said blankly: "When did Wen He come in? Please sit down quickly." Jia Rong patted the edge of the bed and said.
Jia Xu didn't show any pretense when he heard this, and sat next to Jia Rong very naturally.
After thinking for a long time, Jia Rong said slowly: "If there is no good feast, there will be no good party."
"Oh, what do you mean by this, my lord?" Jia Xu asked in surprise. Today, Situ Wang Yunna is also a well-known figure. In the court, he did not resist Dong Zhuo like the aristocratic family did. Instead, he was like a very docile bird.
sheep.
"Wen He doesn't need to worry about this matter. He sent someone to send a hundred taels of gold as a gift and secretly monitored the actions of these aristocratic families." Jia Rong said.
Jia Xu raised his hand and accepted the promise: "My lord, after Wang Yue assassinated my lord, he fled Luoyang and there is still no news. He is incompetent in his humble position. Please punish me, my lord."
Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "Wang Yue's martial arts is already superb. Wen He is not to blame for this."
Jia Xu's expression relaxed after hearing this. Although he had known such a result for a long time, he was still a little worried. He was in charge of intelligence, but he had not found out the murderer of his lord. How could he be called the person in charge of intelligence?
"Wenhe, how is your family living in Jincheng?"
Jia Xu was stunned and didn't understand why Jia Rong suddenly asked about his family, and replied truthfully: "Thanks to my lord's concern, my family is very good in Jincheng."
Jia Rong nodded and said: "Well, that's good. Bring all the generals in the army and the families of Jincheng officials to live in Jincheng. Now that troubled times are coming, we must be fully prepared."
Jia Xu was shocked. In the past, Jia Rong adhered to the principle of laissez-faire towards his subordinates. If you were a county magistrate under Jia Rong, as long as you took care of the affairs of the county, Jia Rong would not go to you.
In this way, the officials under his rule have to take into account the safety of their families if they want to be arrogant. It has to be said that Jia Rong has gradually grown into a ruler and is no longer a reckless man. Jia Xu initially thought that Jia Rong was
How ridiculous a reckless person is. Although Jia Rong's behavior is a bit contrary to common sense, it has a profound meaning if you look carefully. This can also be attributed to Aiwujiwu. Who makes Jia Xu work under Jia Rong?
"No, my subordinates will take care of it right away." Jia Xu bowed.
"Wait a minute, Wen He. Now that Jincheng has developed, we naturally cannot make the officials under our command suffer by increasing their salaries by half."
Jia Xu's body trembled and he bowed again to promise. The salaries of Jincheng officials were very generous compared to other places in the Han Dynasty, but Jincheng officials did not dare to plunder people's wealth and wealth like other local officials. "God's punishment" is not just eating cabbage.
of.
In the evening, Jia Rong led dozens of lone wolf soldiers towards Cai Mansion. Listening to Cai Yan's tone today, Cai Yong was very dissatisfied with him. In a master-disciple battle, Jia Rong did not want to have any trouble with Cai Yong.
What a barrier.
"If you don't see me, just say I'm not here, huh." In the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong said to the servants who came to report.
After a while, the servant returned again and said: "Master, General Jia said that he saw you entering the mansion with his own eyes and knew that you were in the mansion, so he is still..."
Cai Yong said impatiently: "Let him come in." In fact, when he said no to his servant just now, Cai Yong had secretly regretted it.
Under the leadership of Jia Ding, Jia Rong came to the main hall. Cai Yong was at the head with a serious face. Jia Rong did not dare to neglect and bowed respectfully: "Teacher!"
Cai Yong snorted coldly and said: "You still have me as a teacher in your eyes? How can I, He De, be worthy of being one?"
Jia Rong said: "Why did the teacher say this? As the saying goes, a teacher for a day will be a father for a lifetime. Jia Rong never dares to neglect."
"Well, you immediately lead the soldiers to arrest Dong Zhuo to restore the majesty of the royal family." Cai Yong said with a slight expression.
Jia Rong still maintained his salute posture, "Why is my mentor like this? If Dong Zhuo dies, what will happen to the more than 30,000 Dong troops in the city? Has my mentor forgotten about the former general?" Jia Rong knew that Cai Yongsheng himself
His anger is simply because of Dong Zhuo's incident, and he has been recovering from his injuries recently.
"If those soldiers come to burn the palace in anger, or if there is something wrong with the Holy One, then the real trouble for the Han will come."
Cai Yong frowned again. Although Jia Rong's words didn't sound good, they were telling the truth. Dong Zhuo could not die in front of the capital, but he couldn't lose face. He said: "What Dong Zhuo can't die is just what Zhiyuan wants."
I just want to keep my position as General Wei."
"Get up." Cai Yong said with a long sigh.
Seeing Cai Yong relent, Jia Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is something wrong with what my teacher said." Jia Rong is not of pure ancient blood, and he does not obey his teacher in everything like the ancients.
"Although the Xiliang army is small, there are still more than 5,000 armored men. They are not without the strength to fight Dong Zhuo's army. The former Xiliang army fought against the Bingzhou army. I must have heard about it. The Xiliang army is at its peak, so why should it attack Dong Zhuo?
Want to do it?" Jia Rong stood up and said slowly.
"Oh, Zhiyuan, tell me why?"
Jia Rong continued: "We and other military generals are not tolerated by the family. Since the beginning of the dynasty, the status of military generals has been inferior to that of civilian officials, and the literati have made sarcastic remarks about military generals in court. If a military general from a border county assists Chao Gang, his mentor
Think about how these Confucian scholars from aristocratic families would react."
Cai Yong said: "I also know about this, but Dong Zhuo..."
"My mentor, the aristocratic family does not tolerate Dong Zhuo and intends to kill him. Will Dong Zhuo just sit back and wait for death? If it were me, I would rise up to resist. Dong Zhuo's behavior seems to be deceiving the emperor, but in fact there is some truth. Over the years, the court has
The aristocratic family has always had the final say. What is the result of this? The Yellow Turban Uprising and the Qiang Rebellion. Every time, the aristocratic family suppressed it first and only announced it when it couldn't be concealed anymore. They really deceived the superiors and concealed it.
It is them, and they have caused the situation of the Han Dynasty. They all say that the national treasury is empty and unsustainable. Which family has no fertile land and no surplus food? As long as they are willing to sincerely help the Holy Emperor, will they still be afraid of a mere Dong Zhuo?"
Jia Rong took a breath and continued: "Since Dong Zhuo took charge of the government, he granted amnesty to party members and promoted a number of party officials."
Cai Yong said: "Even so, Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor and went to court with a sword. Why should he not worship before entering the court? The most hateful thing is that he actually discussed in Sikong Mansion about deposing the emperor and establishing King Chenliu as king. Is it possible?
Is this what a minister should do? It seems that people like this can't be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts to vent the public's anger." Speaking of this, Cai Yong gritted his teeth.
Jia Rong thought to himself: "What does this have to do with public anger? It's just that the emperor has changed his surname. How should the people live?"
"Teacher, Dong Zhuo did this for the sake of his own life. How did the general die? He died in the palace because he neglected to take precautions." Jia Rong felt that he had become a peacemaker, and he was responsible for the things Dong Zhuo committed.
explain.
"Master, how do you think the current emperor compares with King Chenliu?" Jia Rong asked.
Just as Cai Yong was about to speak, he suddenly realized and cursed: "How dare you plot against me, Mr. Zhu."
Jia Rong chuckled and said: "My mentor must have also seen the weakness of the Holy One. Although King Chenliu is young, he is extremely smart. If Dong Zhuo wants to control the government, will it be easier for a cowardly master or a wise master to control it?"
"Since the Holy Emperor came to the throne, he has worked conscientiously and made great contributions to the world. Even without Wang Chenliu's cleverness, how could Dong Zhuo dare to depose the emperor?" Cai Yong's anger was aroused by Jia Rong again.
Jia Rong also knew that what he said was unacceptable to Cai Yong for a while. How could the thoughts that had been held for hundreds of years change because of Jia Rong's few words?
"Father, Brother Jia." Cai Yan saluted, giving people a feeling of great enjoyment.
"Yan'er, why are you here?" Cai Yong's tone was a bit harsh. In private, Cai Yong loved Cai Yan very much, but in public, Cai Yong showed no mercy.
Cai Yan's eyes turned red and he almost shed tears. He said, "Yan'er heard that her father and Brother Jia were quarreling in the hall, so she came to have a look."
Jia Rong felt a warm current flowing through his heart, but this was Cai Yong's family matter, and he couldn't interfere, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
Cai Yong let out a long sigh, stood up and left. He walked to the door and sighed: "I'm afraid things are going to change today."
Looking at Cai Yan who was crying, Jia Rong stepped forward and comforted him: "Yan'er, the teacher doesn't mean to blame you."
There were still a few tears hanging on Cai Yan's long eyelashes, and she nodded cutely.
Then Jia Rong and Cai Yan wandered around the Cai Mansion and chatted with Wei Zhongdao for a few words. After all, Wei Zhongdao was his brother-in-law. They said goodbye to Cai Yong and left. Cai Yong never retained him.
Jia Rong was also happy to have some free time and went back to "recuperate".
"Brother Su, why are you back again?" Jia Rong was surprised. Su Shuang left only a few hours ago.
Su Shuang pointed to several large boxes at his feet and said, "My lord, these are weapons from Jincheng Craftsman's Workshop. They say they were made at my lord's command."
Jia Rong's expression moved and he stepped forward. Without Jia Rong's instructions, Su Shuang skillfully opened the box.
