Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 66
On this day, Cai Yong was sitting in the side hall with the pen and ink in front of him, but he didn't lift the pen, thoughtful.

As the saying goes, when people get old, they often have memories left with them. Cai Yong is no exception. He is recalling the ups and downs he has gone through in his life.

Cai Yong has had ups and downs in his life.

The first time was during the reign of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, when he was recruited to serve as an official. Cai Yong felt that it was too dark for the eunuchs to control the government at that time, so he walked halfway and pretended to be ill and returned home;
The second time he became an official was recommended by Qiaoxuan, who was an honest official, and served as a subordinate. The Xiping Stone Sutra was made in that period.

But after all, due to his youth and lack of experience in political struggles, he wrongly estimated the performance of ZTE displayed by Emperor Ling of Han.At that time, Emperor Ling of Han was uneasy because of the frequent natural disasters. He found Cai Yong and asked him to speak freely about the government without any scruples. As a result, Cai Yong believed it to be true and wrote an article about the current abuses and submitted it. As a result, he was resented by Cao Jie, the permanent servant of the middle school, and falsely accused Cai. Yong, Cai Yong was exiled to Shuofang, which is a bitter and cold place in the northern part of Bingzhou near Xianbei...

Fortunately, Cai Yong was pardoned when he met Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and was able to pardon the world. Afterwards, Cai Yong wandered in the rivers and lakes and lived in many places. Luoyang City...

Because of his upright personality when he was young, he suffered a lot of losses, but this sincere heart, although it has gone through ups and downs, has never changed.
Cai Yong smiled, picked up the ink stick, ground it finely, then picked up the pen, and wrote a line of words like flying.

Fei Qian happened to see this scene when he followed Cai's housekeeper.

Seeing Feiqian arriving, Cai Yong put down his pen and motioned Feiqian to sit down.

Cai Yong looked at the disciple in front of him. Although he didn't get along for a long time, he felt that he was friendly and gentle, which was in line with his own temperament, and even compared to his younger self in some respects. He can do better, understand the truth and know how to be flexible. He is indeed a rare talent. Of course, it would be even better if he could improve his knowledge in literature.

Cai Yong waited for Fei Qian to sit down and asked, "Can Zuo Chuan be recited?"

Fei Qian was about to get up to answer, but was stopped by Cai Yong, so he said: "Reading and reciting is the basic requirement for learning a book. The standard of reading is that you can understand the meaning of the words in the book. Therefore, Cai Yong's requirement is really not high.

Cai Yong nodded and said, "Zuo Zhuan, one is a considerable history and knowledge of the present, the other is all-encompassing, and the third is a way of living in the world. You need to understand it carefully after reading it."

Fei Qian nodded yes.

Cai Yong went on to say: "You said something about Chong'er a few days ago, although what you said is not bad, but the old man is already down, I really don't want to accept the land of the savages, the water of fertile water!"

Fei Qian couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, Cai Yong, does the old man Cai mean that he doesn't want to leave?

Cai Yong said that "the land of the savages, the water of fertile washing" is two things that happened during Chong'er's escape. One was that Chong'er fled to the Wulu area of ​​Wei State at that time, but could not find food, so he went to the wasteland. The cultivator asked for food, but instead of giving him food, the farmer picked up a piece of soil from the ground and said, "If you want food, eat this..."

The second thing is when Chong'er fled to Qin State, Duke Mu of Qin gave five women to Chong'er as concubines, and Duke Mu's daughter Huai Ying was among them. Once, Huai Ying held a utensil containing water and asked Chong'er to wash his hands. , Chong'er waved his hand casually to let Huai Ying go away after washing his ears.

As a result, Duke Mu's daughter, Huai Ying, got angry and said, "Qin and Jin are equally big countries. If so, do you take me as a servant? Why do you do such a rash act, do you look down on me?" Chong'er was frightened, so he took off his clothes and locked himself up to apologize to Duke Mu of Qin.

When Cai Yong was young, he offended the eunuch Cao Jie because of his outspokenness.During these 12 years, although Cai Yong said that he didn't have any worries about his life, he had suffered a lot, and he had indeed tasted enough of the warmth and coldness of the world. For him, he really didn't want to experience this life of fleeing for the second time...

Although it is famous all over the world now, running away may not be as hard as it was when you were young, but after all, when you are old, you no longer have the energy to run around...

Fei Qian wanted to persuade him again, but Cai Yong stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Cai Yong showed Fei Qian the words written on the top of the desk, and motioned for Fei Qian to take a look.

Fei Qian took it, and saw a line of words written on the paper with dragons flying and phoenix dancing: "The journey is thousands of miles across the sand curtain, and the generals for the king are the Xiongnu.

what does this mean?Fei Qian didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Cai Yong smiled and asked, "Ziyuan, can you read Han books?" - Han books were extra-curricular readings that Cai Yan added to Fei Qian later. Bunch of books...

"A little bit of reading." Fei Qian replied, thinking in his heart, why did the old man Cai Yong suddenly ask about Han Shu?
Suddenly Feiqian remembered, no wonder Cai Yong asked about the Han book, it turned out that this sentence was from the Han book, and he was also a very famous person - Su Wu.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty continued to crusade the Xiongnu, and the relationship was bad. In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty, the Marquis of Gao came to the throne. He was afraid of being attacked by the Han Dynasty, so he eased the Han Dynasty and returned it to the Xiongnu. Chinese ambassador.In order to applaud Chanyu's actions, Emperor Wu sent Su Wu, as a general of Zhonglang, to escort some Hun envoys detained in Han to return to China, and presented him with gifts to thank him.

However, when Su Wu arrived at the place of the Xiongnu, he found that the Xiongnu was not a soft-spoken, but a temporary tactic. It happened that the Xiongnu were at odds with each other, so he took advantage of this opportunity to assassinate Chanyu, but unfortunately he failed and was arrested, and then refused to surrender, and was exiled to North Sea Shepherd.

However, Li Ling, who was the same as Su Wu at the time, did not have such a backbone and surrendered to the Xiongnu. Later, when Su Wu returned to the Han Dynasty, Li Ling went to see him off and wrote these four sentences: "Walk through the sand curtain for thousands of miles, and serve as a general for the king." Xi Fan Xiongnu. The road is exhausted, the arrows are destroyed, the scholars are destroyed, and the name is gone."

Li Ling's meaning is that I also traveled thousands of miles, crossed the desert, and led troops to fight against the Huns for the king of the Han Dynasty.As a result, the return route was cut off, the swords and arrows were destroyed, and all the soldiers died. In desperation, I surrendered. Now my reputation has been corrupted...

This is Li Ling's heartfelt poem to excuse himself from surrendering, and because he admires Su Wu's backbone.

Cai Yong did not mean to praise Li Ling in writing these four sentences, but to express that he wanted to be like Su Wu, to preserve his character and integrity...

Fei Qian couldn't help but feel anxious, Cai Yong, old man Cai, do you know that this way, the tragedy will happen again?
How am I going to save you, Cai Yong, old man Cai?
How can I save you, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji?
　Old man Cai Yong went into exile for 12 years, and Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji were taken away by barbarians for 12 years...Sometimes I feel that fate is really helpless...The author is also very helpless. Ask for collection...
