The Nameless of the Common Clans

It was late at night, leaning on the bed, the beauty beside him had fallen asleep, but Chen Mo couldn't sleep, thinking about what happened in the court during the day.

The big net woven by the scholars headed by Wang Yun isolated him from the outside. Under the influence of these people, Dong Zhuo had no intention of using him.

Although he wanted to be loyal to the country, Chen Mo tried for a long time and couldn't get in again. Or, he could take the initiative to be used by others like Brother Meng De in exchange for the scholars' acceptance and trust. Cao Cao was originally a eunuch and was not accepted by the scholars. He was recognized by the scholars for killing Jian Shuo's uncle. Now he was a knife for Wang Yun. This method is undoubtedly good, but what the other party wants to do now is not as simple as assassinating Dong Zhuo. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. This is why Chen Mo wants to use Guo Tai's matter to leave Luoyang.

If he stayed, he would inevitably be stuck in the quagmire, and the quagmire of the court was not something he could fill. He wanted to support the Han Dynasty, but he didn't want to put his life and property into it.

If he was sent out, it would be best to get the position of a county governor, but who could help him?

Li Ru?

Chen Mo rejected this idea. Li Ru admired him more, but it was impossible for him to leave. According to Chen Mo's original plan, he would first go to Hedong in the name of fighting against the enemy, and then ask Dong Zhuo for money, food and officials in the name of fighting against the enemy. It would be best if he could concurrently serve as the governor of Hedong on the basis of the Sili Xiaowei.

"What are you worried about, husband?" Yun Si woke up at some point and snuggled up to Chen Mo like a cat.

"The night wind is very cold, don't catch a cold." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to pull up the silk quilt and cover Yun Si, with a forced smile on his face.

"The affairs of the court today were discussed by my former sisters today." Yun Si obediently grabbed the silk quilt, only revealing her head, and looked up at Chen Mo and said.

"The news of Chunnuan Pavilion has always been well-informed." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"Since my husband knows Mr. Cai, why don't you ask Mr. Cai for help?" Yun Si said softly.

"Mr. Cai?" Chen Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Now the court has sent people, and besides, Mr. Cai and I are only acquainted once."

"What I mean is that if my husband really goes to Hedong, the Wei family of Hedong and Mr. Cai are related by marriage." Yun Si smiled.

In other words, if Chen Mo has the opportunity to go to Hedong, he can establish some friendship with the Wei family of Hedong through Cai Yong. In the local area, if there is help from the local wealthy and prominent families, many things will become much simpler.

"It's not as simple as you think. When Cai Weng's daughter married into the Wei family, Wei Zhongdao died soon after. The Wei family used this to persecute Cai Weng's daughter. The relationship..." Chen Mo shook his head. Since he wanted to rule Bingzhou, he had investigated the wealthy families in Bingzhou. Although there were not many wealthy families in Bingzhou, the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Wei family of Hedong could be considered wealthy families. One of these two families was the Wang Yun family, and the other was the descendant of the great general Wei Qing. The Wang family had already had an enemy relationship with the Wei family. If the Wei family moved into Hedong, they would definitely be the target of wooing in the early stage.

The Wei family always thought that Cai Yong's daughter was a killer, and they have been trying their best to confirm this in public opinion in recent years. It's good to have a good in-law, but if the in-law is broken, it's worse than an enemy.

"There are still these twists and turns?" Yun Si thought about it carefully after hearing the words, and roughly understood that if the two were happy after marriage, the relationship between the two families would naturally be good, but now the Wei family thinks that Cai Yong's daughter killed Wei Zhongdao, that's another situation.

Chen Mo nodded. He didn't expect to get any benefit from Cai Yong. However, if Chunyu Qiong and the others could be defeated, Chen Mo could only count on Cai Yong and Xun Shuang.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's go to sleep." Chen Mo looked at his favorite concubine, waved his hand to extinguish the oil lamp, and pulled the silk quilt...

No words were spoken that night. The next morning, Chen Mo sent someone to Cai's house to submit a visiting card. No matter what, Cai Yong was one of the few people who could help Chen Mo and was willing to help him.

It was still worth looking forward to Chunyu Qiong and the other two leading the troops. Although this was not right, Chen Mo really hoped that these three people could be defeated. In this way, Wang Yun would have fewer generals to use.

Perhaps because of Dong Zhuo's emphasis on him, his reputation was damaged. There were not many people visiting Cai Yong's house now, so Chen Mo's visiting card was quickly replied.

The next morning, Chen Mo came to Cai's house with carefully selected gifts to pay a visit.

"Mr. Chen, please wait in the side hall. The master is entertaining guests. Some..." The manager of the Cai Mansion obviously didn't expect Chen Mo to come so early, and said apologetically.

"It's okay. I'm the one who bothered you. Please lead the way." Chen Mo nodded slightly.

...

"Mr. Cai, you have also seen what Dong the thief did. At this time of crisis, if Mr. Cai can raise his arms and call for help, people with lofty ideals in the world will surely respond in droves. Then there will be no worries about not achieving great things." In the main hall, Wang Yun looked at Cai Yong and said eagerly.

"Master Zi!" Cai Yong's words were a little heavier. He looked at Wang Yun and said, "Have you ever thought about it? If this is true, where is the majesty of the Han Dynasty? Where should Your Majesty be placed? Even if Dong Zhuo is killed, what about the current emperor? Should we respect the emperor or the king? Is it possible to depose and enthrone again?"

If the heroes attack Dong Zhuo, should they respect Liu Bian or Liu Xie at that time? If Liu Xie continues to be respected, wouldn't that prove that what Dong Zhuo did was actually right? What's the difference between those so-called righteous men and traitors? But if Liu Bian is respected, and the discussion of dethronement is discussed again, the royal majesty will become a joke, which is definitely not what Cai Yong wants to see.

"This..." Wang Yun frowned, looked at Cai Yong and said, "We can respect the emperor and the king!"

Just let it go as a confused incident, or even be more radical and kill one and keep the other. Of course, they cannot bear this crime.

"What nonsense!" Cai Yong slapped the table and said angrily: "The country is in a difficult situation now. As Han ministers, it is our duty to assist the royal family to purge the world and revive the Han Dynasty. As a human minister, how can you have such disobedient thoughts? If So, what's the difference between you and Dong Zhuo?"

Wang Yun blushed when he was told that he was now a Situ in the dynasty. Although he was given it by Dong Zhuo, he was now a scholar in Luoyang. Yuan Wei was ill and Xun Shuang retired. Almost everyone else respected him. Who would dare? Accusing him face to face like this?

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little tense. At this moment, the faint sound of the piano suddenly came from the distance. The sound was ethereal and ethereal, which made people feel comfortable unconsciously, and all kinds of anger and grievances gradually dissipated.

Cai Yong sighed, waved his hand and said, "That's all. If we have different ways of doing things, we should not work together. Let me, master, take care of ourselves. I am already old and have no intention of getting involved in worldly affairs. Maybe Ci Ming is right."

"In that case, Yun won't bother you anymore!" Wang Yun took a deep breath, stood up, saluted Cai Yong, and turned to leave.

"Master~" The steward sent Wang Yun away and just came back. He said to Cai Yong: "Sili Colonel Chen Mo is waiting in the side hall. Do you want to summon him?"

"I'm rude to others, so I should go see him." Cai Yong shook his head. During this period, he was really upset. The prestige of the royal family, the reputation of the scholars, and Dong Zhuo's origin were all caught between him, but it was difficult for him to have both sides. He wanted to He had to stick to his true heart, but things in the world were often unsatisfactory, which made him feel quite exhausted. Fortunately, his daughter was by his side and the music of the piano soothed him every day, which made him feel better.

He immediately got up and went to the side hall.

…

This was the second time Chen Mo heard the sound of the piano. He must have never heard it before. Yun Si can also play the piano, but it is not unpleasant, but in Chen Mo's opinion, it was just like that, until he heard the sound of the piano that day in the pavilion. After the woman played the piano, I realized that the rhythm can touch people's soul even if it reaches the deepest level, and I had some idea of ​​wanting to learn the rhythm in my heart.

Immersed in the faint sound of the piano, Chen Mo didn't realize that Cai Yong had arrived.

The steward looked at Chen Mo who was listening to the piano with his eyes closed. He wanted to step forward to wake Chen Mo up, but Cai Yong stopped him and signaled the steward to leave. He went straight to the main seat and knelt down. Looking at Chen Mo, he felt less irritated. a bit.

After an unknown period of time, the sound of the piano stopped, and Chen Mo gradually came to his senses. When he saw Cai Yong, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have nothing to do with you. Cai Weng forgives me."

"It doesn't matter, is my little girl's piano skills impressive?" Cai Yong smiled and shook his head.

"This song should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to find it in the world." Somehow, this sentence came into Chen Mo's mind and he said it smoothly.

"Wonderful sentence." Cai Yong nodded and said with a smile: "I once wanted to record the debates made by the general in the past in the library, but I felt that the murderous spirit was too strong. However, in terms of literary elegance, the general is no longer inferior to anyone in the world, but I don’t know why there are so few poems about generals published? So far, I only know about one article about debates?”

"Cai Weng forgives me, but in the eyes of the general, now that the world is in turmoil, what we have to do is serve the country. Although poetry can cultivate sentiments, it cannot save the country!" Chen Mo looked at Cai Yong apologetically. Although he was talented in literature, Yes, but Chen Mo didn't believe it if he said it was rare in the world.

"If it were ten years ago, I would have scolded you." Cai Yong sighed after hearing this: "Such a good talent was wasted in vain, but now it seems that maybe the general is right. Today's court needs Not a scornful scholar like me, but a righteous man like the general who can stand up when the country is in danger!"

"Cai Weng's words are serious. All the ways in the world have their own reasons. At this time, I have chosen a different way. If you say that poetry is useless because of this, it is too arbitrary." Chen Mo shook his head: "Cai Weng's double name, Mo Very admired.”

Cai Yong is a great scholar in the world, but he has two skills that are considered the most sinful in the world. One is calligraphy. Cai Yong's Feibai style is a font that scholars in the world are eager to imitate. The other is the qin. Although Chen Mo has never heard of it, But after seeing the music of Cai Yong's daughter just now, Chen Mo didn't dare to underestimate her.

"They say you are a genial person and are the best at communicating with others. Why do you put yourself here now?" Cai Yong looked at Chen Mo and had to say that Chen Mo knew how to speak. At least talking to him would not make him feel uncomfortable. Comfortable, and after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Cai Yong knew very well that speaking was actually a kind of ability, and it was very important.

"Being sociable doesn't mean being blindly flattering. You can do some things, but you can't do some things!" Chen Mo said seriously after a moment of silence.

"Well said!"
