Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 66 Integrity

  On this day, Cai Yong sat in the side hall, with a brush and ink set in front of him, but he didn't pick up the pen, thinking deeply.

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

  Cai Yong's life was full of ups and downs.

  The first time was during the period of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, when he was conscripted to serve as an official. Cai Yong felt that the eunuchs' control of the government was too dark at that time, so he walked halfway and pretended to be sick, and returned home;

The second time I became an official was recommended by Qiao Xuan, who is an honest official, and served as a subordinate. He was treated favorably by Qiao Xuan, and later became the magistrate of Heping County, and was called to be a doctor. The Xiping Stone Classic was written during that period.

  But after all, due to his youth and lack of experience in political struggles, he miscalculated the performance of ZTE displayed by Emperor Han Ling. At that time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was uneasy because of 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 was true and wrote a solid article on the current problems. As a result, he was resented by Cao Jie, the Zhongchang servant, and falsely accused Cai. Yong, causing Cai Yong to be exiled to Shuofang, which is a bitter cold place near Xianbei in the north of Bingzhou...

Fortunately, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty pardoned the world, and Cai Yong was pardoned. After that, Cai Yong wandered in the rivers and lakes and lived in many places. After living in Wudi in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, he was recruited by the court again and returned to Luoyang City…

  I have suffered a lot because of my upright personality when I was young, but this sincere heart has not changed even though it has gone through wind and rain. Is it going to change when I am old?

  Cai Yong smiled, picked up the ink stick, ground it carefully, 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 Fei Qian arrived, Cai Yong put down his pen and motioned Fei Qian to sit down.

Cai Yong looked at this disciple in front of him. Although he didn't get along with him for a long time, he felt that he was friendly and treated others with gentleness and restraint. This was in line with his own temper. In some respects, compared to his younger self, Do better, know the truth and know how to adapt, it is indeed a rare talent, of course, if you can improve your literature knowledge, it will be even better.

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

Fei Qian wanted to get up to answer, but was stopped by Cai Yong, and said: "You can read through it." - Reading through and reciting is the basic requirement for learning a book. Cai Yong's request is really not high.

  Cai Yong nodded, and said: "Husband Zuo's biography, one can observe the history and know the present, the other is all-encompassing, and the third has the way of life. You need to understand it carefully after reading."

   Fei Qian nodded in agreement.

  Cai Yong continued: "A few days ago, what you said about Chong'er, although what you said is not bad, but the old man is already dying, and I really don't want to suffer from the soil of savages and the water of fertile wash!"

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

Cai Yong said "the soil of the savages, the water of fertile wash" are two things that happened to Chong'er during his escape. One was that Chong'er fled to the Wulu area of ​​Weiguo at that time. The farmer 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 that when Chonger fled to Qin, Qin Mugong gave Chonger five women as concubines. Qin Mugong's daughter Huaiying was also among them. Once, Huaiying held a water utensil for Chonger to wash his hands. After washing, Chong'er casually waved Huaiying away.

As a result, Qin Mugong's daughter Huaiying got angry and said: "Qin and Jin are equally big countries. If so, do you regard me as a servant? Why do you act so rashly? Do you look down on me?" Chong'er was frightened, so he took off his clothes and shut himself up to express his apology to Duke Mu of Qin.

  Cai Yong offended the **** Cao Jie when he was young because of his outspokenness. Although Cai Yong said that he didn't have any worries about his life in the past twelve years, he has suffered a lot, and he has indeed tasted enough of the warmth and coldness of the world. For him, he really doesn't want to experience this life of fleeing for a second time...

  Although it is famous all over the world now, fleeing may not be as painful as it was when I was young, but after all, I am old and I don’t have the energy to run around anymore...

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

  Cai Yong gave Fei Qian the words he just wrote on 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 in a flying and phoenix dance: "Thousands of miles across the sand screen, for the king and general, to fight for the Huns. The road is exhausted, the arrows are destroyed, and the soldiers are destroyed, the name is already ruined."

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

Seeing this, Cai Yong smiled and asked, "Ziyuan, do you read Han Shu?"—Han Shu was an extra-curricular reading that Cai Yan added to Fei Qian later. Of course, besides Han Shu, there are other extra-curricular readings. large batch of books…

   "Read a little bit." Fei Qian replied, thinking in his heart, why did the old man Cai Yong suddenly ask about Han Shu?

  Suddenly, Fei Qian remembered, no wonder Cai Yong asked Hanshu, it turned out that this sentence came from Hanshu, and it was also a very famous character—Su Wu.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty continued to crusade against the Xiongnu, and the relationship was bad. In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty, and Hou Shanyu came to the throne, he was afraid of being attacked by the Han Dynasty when he first took the throne, so he eased up to the Han Dynasty and returned it to the Huns. The Han envoy. In order to applaud Shan Yu's behavior, Emperor Wu sent Su Wu, as a general of Zhonglang, to **** some Hun envoys who were detained in Han back home, and presented Shan Yu with gifts to thank Shan Yu.

But when Su Wu arrived at the Huns, he found that the Huns were not submissive, but only a temporary tactic. It happened that there was a discord among the Huns, so he took advantage of this opportunity to assassinate Shan Yu. Unfortunately, he failed and was arrested. Beihai Shepherd.

However, Li Ling, who was the same servant as Su Wu at that time, did not have such backbone and surrendered to the Huns. Later, when Su Wu returned to the Han Dynasty, Li Ling went to see him off and wrote these four sentences: Fen the Xiongnu. The road is exhausted, the arrows and blades are destroyed, and the soldiers are destroyed, and the name is already ruined."

   Li Ling means 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 way back was cut off, the knives and arrows were destroyed, and all the soldiers died. They surrendered in desperation. Up to now, my reputation has been corrupted...

  This is Li Ling's poem written from the bottom of his heart to justify his surrender and admire Su Wu's integrity.

  Cai Yong wrote these four sentences absolutely not to praise Li Ling, but to express that he would like Su Wu to preserve his strength of character and integrity...

   Fei Qian couldn't help being anxious, Mr. Cai Yong, old man Cai, do you know that if this happens, the tragedy will happen again?

  How am I going to save you, Mr. Cai Yongcai?

   How can I save you, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji?

Old man Cai Yong has been in exile for 12 years, and Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji have been taken away by the barbarians for 12 years...Sometimes I feel that fate is really helpless...The author is also very helpless. Mi You recommends that he is running naked, and his life is really suffering...Please recommend a ticket collect…
