I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33

In the backyard of the Cai Mansion, the sound of the qin was intermittent, difficult and noisy, so that even those who don't know how to listen to the qin can feel the restlessness of the person playing the qin.

"Sister..." Beside Cai Yan, a little loli in Hanfu looked at her strangely.

She has white porcelain-like delicate skin and a smooth forehead, and her big eyes are full of strange spirits. Coupled with the two horn buns unique to children in the Han Dynasty, she looks even more cute and cute.

But the words that followed made Cai Yan instantly want to pick up Jiao Weiqin, smash it down and kill the half-sister.

"Are you... Fachun thinking of a man?"

Cai Yan's eyes turned cold, and her slender fingers tensed, with a murderous look: "Wan'er, are your skin itchy again?"

"Sister, there is a saying in the "Book of Songs": Guanguan Jujiu is in the river island. Gentlemen like fair ladies." Little Lolita was not afraid at all, she put her arms behind her back and shook her head and said: "Not only gentlemen like fair ladies, but also gentlemen Those who love gentlemen, Wan'er understands all these things, sister doesn't have to hide..."

While talking, he looked at Cai Yan desperately, and sighed: "Besides, my sister is seventeen this year, and she has reached the age of wanting a man..."

"Hehe... Wan'er knows so much." Cai Yan seemed to praise her, but then her pretty face turned frosty, and her hands were like lightning, grabbing the defenseless little loli, and pounding on her legs: " It's a pity, you don't know what you should know, but you know a lot about what you shouldn't know. Eldest sister is like a mother, so it's impossible not to teach you a lesson!"

"Father, save me, father, come and save me!... Huh." The little Lolita had just been hit twice, and shouted towards the backyard door with her chubby legs thumping.

"Zhao Ji, what are you doing again!" Cai Yong, who was frowning when he returned from court, hurried over to snatch Cai Wan from Cai Yan, and complained, "You are worried about the Taiwei's appearance?" But you can't vent your anger on Wan'er..."

Cai Wan was born in the concubine's room that Cai Yong took after his life was a little stable when he was hiding in the south of the Yangtze River.Although she was not a direct descendant, but she got a daughter when she was old, so she doted on her very much.

"Father, it's because of your pampering that she's such a big kid. Do you know what she said just now..."

"Sister, what did I just say?" Cai Wan, who was hiding behind Cai Yong, was still frantically probing on the verge of death, but when she saw Cai Yan's stare, she quickly shrank back.

The tough and cowardly appearance, very much like those... brats.

"You, you wait... I'll settle the score with you when I have time!" Knowing that he can't teach his younger sister a lesson, Cai Yan had no choice but to see Cai Yong's return, and couldn't help asking: "Father, today's court meeting..."

"Passed..." Before she could finish speaking, Cai Yong had already given the answer.

Cai Yan was in a hurry, and said: "My daughter also knows that the memorial will definitely pass. After all, my uncle holds the military power in Luoyang, and no one would dare to rebel if he becomes tough."

"My daughter wants to ask, how did the play pass pass?..."

"Naturally, all the officials seconded the proposal, and the emperor used the seal to promulgate it by decree."

"Hundreds of officials seconded the proposal?" Cai Yan couldn't help but look happy when he heard the words, then looked at his father gratefully, and bowed respectfully and deeply: "Father, daughter thank you on behalf of the people of Luoyang..."

"Don't, don't thank me..." Cai Yong hurriedly hid himself, avoiding his daughter's gift: "Zhao Ji misunderstood, this time the Taiwei's performance was seconded by all officials, it is not the father's credit."

"Father, father didn't come forward to speak out?" Cai Yan was also surprised, and her eyebrows frowned slightly: it is an ancient system to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and the scholar-bureaucrats of the Manchu dynasty despised and rejected uncles. Without the support of famous scholars like my father, How to get the second opinion of hundreds of officials.

"Why, my father actually wanted to join the ranks at the time..." Cai Yong looked at his daughter with a guilty conscience, and then his face became a little annoyed: "But, the Taiwei doesn't need it at all."

"He was eloquent at first, and refuted the opponents one by one, and then he became impatient and cursed, directly scolding all the officials in the court to the blood."

"Cursed, scolded so bloody?" Cai Yan was even more shocked, and he couldn't even manage his facial expressions: "This, is this impossible?...The two emperors Zi Huan and Ling came, the government is dark, and the scholar-bureaucrats are not lacking in uprightness. Admonisher."

"Big men have always advocated fame and integrity, and many scholar-bureaucrats have become famous for their 'daring to speak', which is the rank of promotion..." At this point, Cai Yan suddenly panicked and trembled: "Uncle, uncle is very angry. Did something domineering and cruel in the court, threatening the minister?"

She really couldn't imagine how Dong Zhuo could make those scholar-bureaucrats submit to him.

But Cai Yong still shook his head and said, "No..."

"No?" Cai Wan became more interesting the more she listened, and said, "I have to agree even after being scolded, aren't those people cheap..."

"Wan'er!" Now, Cai Yong and Cai Yan scolded at the same time, but then Cai Yan couldn't help nodding and said, "That's right, it's completely unreasonable to still agree after being scolded."

"The old man is also puzzled." As he spoke, Cai Yong recalled the situation at that time, and said: "After the Taiwei aggressively scolded those who opposed him, no one in the court dared to say more. But the courtiers also Everyone was dissatisfied, and the scene suddenly reached a stalemate."

"and then?"

"Then..." Cai Yong's expression became strange, and he raised his eyes to look at Cai Yan: "I think of your instructions for my father, and I want to stand up!"

"Father!" Cai Yan's eyes suddenly burst into admiration, just like when he was a child.

Cai Yong's expression turned ashamed and remorseful: "Zhao Ji, please don't get excited. At that time, as a father... I really wanted to go out. But, it's too late to go out as soon as my legs go numb."

"Father's leg is numb?" Cai Wan heard this, and beat Cai Yong's leg very discerningly. Although it was basically useless as an afterthought, Cai Yong was greatly benefited by his filial piety.

"Come out, it's too late?" Cai Yan gave a blank look, and then said: "Who will come out first, father?"

"Taiwei Commander Shi He Yong."

"He Yong?" Cai Yan's eyebrows tightened even more, her pretty face was full of puzzlement: "That Nanyang famous scholar, that He Boqiu who became famous because he protected party members together with Yuan Benchu?"

"Also, there are Chengmen School Captain Wu Qiong, Shangshu Zhengtai, Zhou Yu..."

"They..." Cai Yan was even more surprised and confused, thinking: "They have attached themselves to uncle earlier, but their reputation is not obvious, and they have no reputation in the court. Even if they support uncle, they will not be able to convince the public, right? "

"Yes, but these four people are just throwing bricks to attract jade."

"Just when the ministers felt that they couldn't offend the Taiwei and turned to criticize these four people, the Taifu Yuan Kui immediately came out to second the proposal and reversed the direction of the wind in one fell swoop."

"Teacher Yuan Kui!..." Cai Yan's tender body was startled, her soft and rosy lips parted slightly, and she was speechless for a long time: "The Yuan family's four generations and three princes are famous all over the world, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world. .Yuan Kui is the Taifu of the court, and he is the Minister of the Prime Minister who was ordered by the late emperor. Why would he suddenly..."

"As a father, I am also very puzzled." Cai Yong frowned, stroked his beard and muttered: "Or, maybe the Taifu and Taiwei have a tacit understanding that no one else knows..."

"At the beginning, the Taiwei entered Beijing under the order of the old general, and Yuan Benchu, the Yuan family, instigated it. Later, the Taiwei insisted on abolishing the emperor, and after reporting to the Taifu, the Taifu also agreed..."

"If Yuan Gong speaks up and uses his reputation to support uncle, the ministers... will really be a bit scrupulous. It makes sense for them to agree with each other under suspicion."

"That's right. After Taifu Yuan Kai spoke, all the ministers were stunned and silent for a while. Immediately afterwards, Sikong Xun Shuang also felt that there was nothing wrong with the above strategy. You might as well give it a try. Guang Luxun and Yang Biao followed closely..."

"In this way, the direction of the wind has changed, and the offensive and defensive positions have changed..." Cai Yan understood immediately. Although he didn't understand what happened, he finally knew the ins and outs.

Just inadvertently, he suddenly saw Cai Yong's eyes flickering, with a very guilty look, and couldn't help but think of something: "At this time when all the ministers are seconding, is father still here?..."

"Uh, didn't you say that as a father, my legs were numb at that time..." Cai Yong felt a little regretful that he gave birth to his daughter so smart that he couldn't hide anything.

In fact, his legs were indeed numb at the time, but he was even more shocked by the sudden reversal of the situation, so that he didn't react.

"Father!..." At this point, Cai Yan, who is a daughter, can't say anything, she can only express her dissatisfaction in a coquettish voice.

Cai Yong, who was guilty of guilt, quickly tried to make amends, saying: "Although my father didn't support the Taiwei, it's not like he didn't do anything. After he came down to court, he asked the Taiwei about it. I don't want Zhaoji to feel like you're in the fog." .”

"What did uncle say?"

"Taiwei said..." Cai Yong's face was strange and inexplicable at this time, and he replied blankly: "Taiwei said, knowing what you know is knowing, not knowing what you don't know."

"Know what you know, don't know what you don't know?" Of course Cai Yan knew the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't understand why Old Dong said this: "Uncle, what does this mean?"

"I don't know it for my father, and I can't understand it even after thinking hard all the way."

"My daughter is looking for him!"

"Okay..." Cai Yong subconsciously agreed, and then he came to his senses and hurried forward: "Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji... You are an unmarried woman, and you are alone to find that old..."

Cai Yong dared not say the word 'old widower'.

In such a dazed moment, she found that her daughter had already left the court: "You, you should at least bring your guards... Now that the Taiwei has lifted the city restrictions, the outside must be more chaotic than before!"

Unfortunately, Cai Yan didn't even turn her head...

"Who is the father and who is the daughter?..." The heartbroken old father watched his eldest daughter leave in a carriage, and could only pin his hopes on the trumpet: "Wan'er, I can't imitate your elder sister. "

"Father, don't worry, Wan'er won't do that." Cai Wan patted her chest, swearing.

Immediately, he pinched his waist and yelled out the door loudly: "Hmph, run away from home as soon as you think of a man. If you have something to do, you go out of this door, and don't come back in the future!"

"Huh?!..." Cai Yong was overjoyed at first, then stunned, and then his face darkened: "Wan'er, my father thinks that your elder sister is right, it's time to discipline you..."
