The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 68 Cai Yong to Luoyang

"Grand Master, General Xiaoqi sent someone to ask for an audience."

In the Taishi Mansion, Dong Zhuo was lying lazily on the bed. He is getting fatter and fatter now.

"Qin Yilu? Let him in."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand nonchalantly. Now that he was hiding in the pass, everything in the world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"The lower official Zhong Yao pays homage to the Grand Master."

Zhong Yao secretly took a look at Dong Zhuo, and felt contemptuous in his heart when he saw Dong Zhuo's laziness.

"What did Qin Yilu ask you to do?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"The general has built an academy in Luoyang. He will start recruiting disciples in ten days. He would like to invite Cai Zhonglang to go to the academy and teach once. Then he will personally send him back to Chang'an."

Zhong Yao said quickly.

"Academy?" Dong Zhuo didn't care anymore after hearing this, and immediately said: "Tell Qin Yilu, don't tinker with these things if you have nothing to do. It is only right to help me pacify the rat race in Guandong as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, I will report to the general after I return."

Zhong Yao said quickly.

"Go back! Remember, when the time comes to send Cai Zhonglang back, the court's rules must not be broken."

Dong Zhuo was exhausted mentally and physically, and lazily let Zhong Yao retreat.

I thought it was a big deal, but I didn't expect that Qin Shou was making such a big fuss for an academy.

"I am resigning."

Zhong Yao sighed secretly in his heart, how could such a person be undefeated.

At Xun You's residence, Zhong Yao told him about his coming to Chang'an.

"My lord received a cold reception in Yingchuan, so he came up with the idea of ​​building an academy. He also found an excuse for Cai Zhonglang to go to Luoyang and leave the land of right and wrong." Xun You said with a bitter smile.

Although he was in Chang'an, he knew about Yingchuan.

In addition to being angry, I felt helpless.

"These people are short-sighted, and they will naturally know how powerful the lord is in the future." Zhong Yao said nonchalantly: "Sooner or later, these people will regret it."

"Wang Yun hosted a banquet for Lu Bu two days ago. He is planning to marry his adopted daughter to Lu Bu." Xun You whispered, "His plan has already begun."

"The beauty trap may not work for the opponent, but Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are more than enough to deal with it." Zhong Yao said disdainfully.

The news reached Luoyang early in the morning. The news from Qin Feng was that Wang Yun was choosing an adopted daughter in private. Qin Shou concluded that Wang Yun was ready to take action. That's why I went on Zhong Yao's trip.

"Gongda, you have to be careful next time." Zhong Yao looked at the other party with some worry and said: "Li Jue, Guo Si and others are cruel and murderous people. If there is danger, leave Chang'an immediately."

"Yuan Chang, just don't worry. No one will have any problems."

Xun You's face showed excitement. When he thought that such a big event would happen in his own hands, or even planned by himself, Xun You's heart was filled with excitement, and he couldn't wait for it to happen soon.

"My lord will march westward soon." Zhong Yao looked into the distance faintly.

"Zhang Ji and Xu Rong have made arrangements, so there can't be any problems!" Xun You was a little worried.

"My Lord is now the Commander-in-Chief, and the Commander-in-Chief is the Commander-in-Chief of the two armies. If they agree, it will be a good thing. If they don't agree, then don't blame the Lord." Zhong Yao's eyes showed more murderous intent. Although Qin Shou is the commander-in-chief, Zhang Ji and Xu Rong are both Dong Zhuo's confidant generals. They may not obey Qin Shou's orders, and they will most likely fight against each other.

Xun You nodded.

Cai Yong, escorted by Zhong Yao, left Chang'an and headed for Luoyang. Before leaving, he also said goodbye to Dong Zhuo.

Little did he know that this would be the last time he saw Dong Zhuo.

On the way to Luoyang, he also wrote to his disciple Gu Yong, asking him to go to Luoyang and meet him in Luoyang.

In April of the third year of Chuping, Cai Yong arrived in Luoyang and was warmly welcomed by Qin Shou and others.

"My father-in-law, please just stay in Luoyang from now on!"

Qin Shou said with a smile: "If my father-in-law stays in Luoyang, I believe the scholars in Luoyang will be very happy."

"Yes! Dad, why not stay in Luoyang! You can also let your daughter take care of you." Cai Zhaoji touched her abdomen with her right hand, where a little life was about to be born.

Cai Yong smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "I have been away from Luoyang for a long time. When I left, the city of Luoyang was in ruins. I didn't expect that when I came back again, its prosperity would be no less than it was then."

"It's all the credit of Yuan Chang and Wen He. My son-in-law just marched and fought, which made my father-in-law laugh." Qin Shou explained, slightly embarrassed in his words.

"As a superior, just control the overall situation and control the most important things. If you do everything by yourself, you are a failed superior. Put the right people in the right positions. This is what you should do. thing."

Cai Yong agreed with Qin Shou's words.

"What my father-in-law said is true." Qin Shou was surprised when he heard that Cai Yong's point of view made sense.

"You asked me to come to Luoyang. In addition to adding a little reputation to your academy, I'm afraid there are other purposes!" Cai Yong's eyes flashed with wisdom and said: "If it's just about the academy, don't you Zhong Yao will be asked to pick me up."

Qin Shou was surprised when he heard this.

Only then did he realize that the Cai Yong in front of him was definitely not simple. He might not only be a literary master, but also a multi-faceted talent.

Thinking about it, the literati at this time were not just literati. They went into battle to kill the enemy and dismounted to govern the people. This was the real literati. Cai Yong could have such a great reputation. I am afraid he is not simple.

"The situation in Chang'an City is changing. I'm afraid something big will happen. My son-in-law is worried about his father-in-law's safety, so he asked someone to invite his father-in-law here to avoid any accidents." Qin Shou explained with a smile.

Now that we have arrived in Luoyang, it is impossible to return to Chang'an.

Cai Yong sighed immediately after hearing this.

Said: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard that you plundered Guandong, forcibly moved the people to Luoyang, built cities, developed water conservancy, and re-measured the fields. I knew what you were thinking. You didn't just want to be a guard. You Want more.”

"There are many people like you in the world, but I didn't say anything."

Cai Yong sighed deeply.

Although he focused on knowledge, he was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. After coming to Luoyang, he confirmed what he thought in his heart. Qin Yilu was indeed ambitious.

But Cai Yong didn't say anything. The world is so big that there are too many people like Qin Shou, and Cai Yong himself can't stop him.

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your understanding. If I don't take this world, others will go back and take it. If you don't want to put your life in the hands of others, you can only fight your way out in troubled times." Qin Shou said with a straight face.

After hearing this, Cai Yong glanced at his daughter, and finally turned into a long sigh. He could no longer stop it.
