After hearing Cai Yong's words, Wang Can's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
Standing respectfully in front of Cai Yong, Wang Can glanced at Cai Yong and wondered why Cai Yong suddenly turned against him when he was smiling just now.
"Master, here comes the tea!"
At this time, the servant in the mansion put the brewed tea on the small table next to Wang Can, and then respectfully withdrew. When Wang Can saw this, a light flashed in his heart, and he suddenly became enlightened. If Cai Yong was angry,
He would not let Wang Can enter the Cai Mansion, let alone let the attendants serve Wang Can tea, nor would he talk to Wang Can warmly before and then question Wang Can about his change in expression. What Cai Yong did should be
I have the intention of taking the exam.
Wang Can figured it out, and the dark clouds in his heart suddenly dissipated, with a calm smile on his face.
Seeing this, Cai Yong snorted, his face became as dark as water, and shouted: "Wang Wei Xian, is it true that you came to Cai Mansion to build connections, as I said?"
In his words, Cai Yong had a hint of dissatisfaction and a sharp tone.
Wang Can was startled, and then realized that if he didn't explain clearly, Cai Yong's impression of him would be really bad. Wang Can cupped his hands and replied: "Mr. Cai, although Wang Can is a common man, he doesn't bother to do this.
A man who is a man who likes to follow the trend of others should create a world with his own hands instead of seeking wealth and honor by following the trend of others."
Cai Yong's expression softened a little and he said, "Well, that's what a man should be like!"
But Cai Yong's tone was still light, without much emotion in it.
Wang Can breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Cai Yong was still a little relieved. He continued: "Mr. Cai sent me an invitation before he left. Only then did I know that Mr. Cai was actually the 'Fei Bai Jue Lun' Cai Bozhe, and I also
I heard the news that Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited you to return to serve in the court. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo promoted you to official positions one after another, and was promoted to Shi Yushi, and your official position was Zuo Zhonglang General. I think you have just been promoted, and there must be guests at your house these days.
, so I didn’t come to visit you, sir. If this makes you unhappy, please forgive me."
"Furthermore, Mr. Wang is implying that Wang Can followed Mr. Cai's influence and only came to visit Mr. Cai after he learned that he was promoted to an official position. In fact, what you said is completely wrong. Dong Zhuo ordered Mr. Cai to return to the court, and he would definitely receive a large reward. Promotion of officials and titles is the right thing to do.
Something that is certain, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have recruited Mr. Pi back to Luoyang. Wang Can knew about Mr. Wang early on. If he wanted to follow the trend, Dong Zhuo could have visited Mr. before Dong Zhuo promoted him. In that case, Wang Can's impression in Mr.'s eyes would be
I'm afraid it would be better. Why put off the visit until now when Mr. is free? Wang Can still understands the principle of striking while the iron is hot."
Cai Yong stroked his long beard and hummed: "You have passed the test."
Wang Can chuckled and said, "Thank you sir for your understanding."
Cai Yong nodded and said, "Tell me why Dong Zhuo rewarded me so much when he returned to the court after his conquest?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Sir, he knew the reason, and he actually came to take the exam for the juniors. Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. Although he controlled the imperial court and intimidated the princes with his Xiliang cavalry, his foundation was not yet solid, and most of the ministers in the court were still opposed.
Dong Zhuo, for this reason, Dong Zhuo will promote celebrities to gain popularity, and you, sir, are the representative of the great scholars in the world. Dong Zhuo regards you as someone who buys horse bones for a thousand gold. This is for the world to see.
Everyone in the world knows that Grand Master Dong recruits talented people and is not a mediocre person."
A flash of light flashed in Cai Yong's eyes, and he continued to ask: "You continue, I am all ears?"
Wang Can said: "Actually, none of this was done by Dong Zhuo. The first contribution to Dong Zhuo's success must be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru. It must be Li Ru's words that Dong Zhuo conquered Mr. Pi, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have conquered Mr. Pi. Dong Zhuo
As a warrior, he couldn't stand the scholars in the world, but he had no choice but to do so, because the scholars were the pillars of the country. Without the support of the scholars, Dong Zhuo would not be able to run the court, so he adopted Li Ru's suggestion to conquer Mr. Pi and gain popularity.
.”
Cai Yong asked curiously: "You still know about Li Ru?"
At this time, Cai Yong didn't have any angry look on his face. Instead, he was smiling with a trace of hope in his eyes.
Cai Yong also knows what Wang Can is talking about, but this is based on Cai Yong's ups and downs and living for most of his life. This matter fell to Wang Can. It is already good to have such knowledge.
When Cai Yong first met Wang Can, he was so happy that he wanted to meet Wang Can.
And as it turned out, Wang Can really didn't disappoint him. He was a great talent. Cai Yong's affection for Wang Can gradually increased.
Wang Can smiled slightly and said, "Sir, do you know where this junior lives?"
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have never been in contact with Wei Xian, how do I know where Wei Xian lives?" There was a trace of curiosity on Cai Yong's face, and he didn't know what Wang Can was selling.
Wang Can replied: "This junior lives in the Hero Building. Sir, you should know why this junior knows about Li Ru!"
"Heroes Building, this is a place to find out information." A flash of surprise flashed in Cai Yong's eyes, and then he asked: "You said that Li Ru should be the first to take the lead, how can you see that?"
Wang Can rolled his eyes inwardly, this old man was really addicted to asking questions.
However, Wang Can did not dare to say it, but said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Speaking of Li Ru, if we evaluate him objectively, Li Ru is really a great talent. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with him."
At some point, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe with a cold face and a sinister look in his eyes suddenly stood at the door of the living room. The man stood at the door and moved his feet forward, but after hearing Wang Can say Li Ru,
He stood at the door again, motionless.
Wang Can stood in the living room and did not notice the man, while Cai Yong glanced at the man but pretended not to see him.
"Li Ru, for Dong Zhuo, had four contributions. First, he advised Dong Zhuo to come to the capital to serve the king. Although Dong Zhuo came to the capital because Yuan Shao advised him to come and summoned the princes to come to the capital, Dong Zhuo was the first to come to the capital.
King Qin must be the credit of Li Ru. Without Li Ru, how could Dong Zhuo occupy Luoyang and achieve Dong Zhuo's great cause without Li Ru?
Cai Yong nodded repeatedly, looking past the man outside the door, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, Cai Yong asked again: "What is the second skill?"
Wang Can stood in the living room and paced back and forth. He glanced at the person at the door of the hall, but he didn't notice. His mind was completely immersed in Li Ru. Regarding Li Ru, Wang Can could make such remarks about Li Ru in his previous life.
At that time, I felt sorry for this person who died in an unknown way and did not meet a good master, and then I got a deeper understanding of Li Ru.
After thinking for a while, Wang Can continued: "This second skill is to hold the emperor hostage to command the princes."
"In March of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died. Prince Bian succeeded to the throne, and He Jin took power. However, only a few months later, He Jin and the eunuchs had internal strife. The two sides argued, causing chaos in Luoyang, and Zhang Rang kidnapped the young emperor.
During the escape, Zhang Rang died on the way, but the young emperor and the prince Xie were met by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo rescued the emperor, which was also a great achievement. However, this was not enough for Dong Zhuo to gain a foothold in Luoyang, so he deposed the young emperor and established the prince Xie.
Xiandi, holding the emperor hostage, ordered the princes to become the lord of Luoyang."
Wang Can spoke passionately, with a hint of admiration for Li Ru in his tone.
In fact, Li Ru is indeed a great talent, but he did not show his talent until he met Dong Zhuo.
After Wang Can finished speaking about the second skill, the man standing at the door of the hall smiled, but an inexplicable look flashed in his sinister eyes. He looked at Wang Can expectantly, waiting for Wang Can to continue speaking.
Wang Can smiled slightly and said: "The third skill is to admonish Dong Zhuo, 'Yuan Shao cannot be killed'.
"Oh, why is this?" A trace of wonder flashed across Cai Yong's face. He let the tiger return to the mountain. Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, so he couldn't kill him?
Wang Can explained: "The old Yuan family has four generations and three nobles, and its disciples and old officials are all over the world. Yuan Huai also regards Yuan Shao as the successor of the Yuan family. It can be said that the Yuan family is the representative of the clear stream of scholars in the future. If he kills Yuan Shao, he will be offended.
The Yuan family has lost the hearts of the world's scholars. Dong Zhuo wants to gather scholars and gain popularity, but it is absolutely impossible. I don't know how many people in the world have received favors from the old Yuan family. Even if Dong Zhuo is powerful, he can force the scholars to serve as officials.
Officials, but those scholars can always do what they do, right? If you win the people but don't win their hearts, you will end up drawing water from a bamboo basket in vain."
Cai Yong nodded and agreed with Wang Can's words.
At this time, the man standing at the door looked at Wang Can with a hint of a confidant.
Wang Can continued: "The fourth great achievement is to promote celebrities to gain popularity. Although Mr. Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited people, if he was promoted continuously within three days, no matter who he was, there would be a trace of gratitude in his heart.
, I’m sure you, sir, will not deny this. This is true for you, and the same is true for the other people who were conquered by Dong Zhuo. Li Ru is a great person!"
Cai Yong nodded without denying it, but his eyes stayed on the man at the door.
The man walked in slowly, his eyes fell on Wang Can, and asked: "What do you think Li Ru will do next?"
Wang Can glanced at the man and said without thinking: "Kill the young emperor and dominate the world!"
