The Three Kingdoms

"The emperor, the minister, the minister! The emperor wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. The emperor can't make mistakes, but the minister can make mistakes. Those who rebel, even the pariah..."

Cai Yong's heart was disturbed, or his faith was shaken.

"Is Sun Quan wrong? Maybe..." A flash of light flashed across Cai Yong's bewildered eyes. He didn't know, but there was a voice in his heart that Sun Quan was right.

Whose fault is it that the great Han Dynasty has fallen from its peak to such a state for hundreds of years?

How did the Yellow Turban Uprising come about?

The yellow scarf... is it a thief?

Or, they who have always been high in the court have never seen the people who survived under their command?

Cai Yong pondered for a long time, but he still didn't have an answer in his heart, or he was unwilling to accept an answer. He got up, walked to the window of the study, and stared at the sky with his eyes.

"Hehehe, this old man thinks highly of himself all his life. When he was banned by the party, even when Master Qiao reprimanded him, he still insisted on what he had learned, but he didn't expect to be scolded by a yellow-mouthed child who was not yet a weak crown, and his faith was shaken. "

Cai Yong stood by the window for a long time, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, mocking himself somewhat ironically.

"Master, Mr. Gu Jiayuan is here to visit!" Suddenly, outside the study door, the butler Cai Fu's voice sounded in a low voice.

"Let him in." Cai Yong's eyes lit up when he heard that, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he said softly.

"Yuan Tan greets the teacher!"

Gu Yong pushed open the door and walked in with big strides. As soon as he saw Cai Yong standing in front of the window, his eyes sparkled and his expression was a little excited, he immediately knelt down on his knees, saluted respectfully, and said: " Yuan Tan only found out today that the teacher has actually come to Jiangdong, so he failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and went to receive the teacher in person, it is really rude!"

"Yuan Tan, get up, you and I are mentors and apprentices, we love each other like father and son, so don't be too polite!"

Cai Yong looked at Gu Yong, smiled slightly, walked up, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said: "I just arrived in Jiangdong, less than three days, you are clever, you received the news so soon, but your junior sister came to Jiangdong For two years, I haven't seen you come to visit, leaving her alone."

There is no punishment for these words, but some complaints. For Gu Yong, this is the first apprentice he is satisfied with. In the past, he was down and out in Jiangdong, obsessed with literature and rhythm, and Gu Yong was by his side like a son-in-law.

"Junior Sister?" Gu Yong stood up suddenly, his face froze slightly, and said: "The teacher is talking about Zhao Ji, isn't she coming to Jiangdong with the teacher?"

Gu Yong has been sent to Kuaiji by Sun Jian for more than half a year to help Cheng Pu control Kuaiji and suppress the Yu family, the number one family in the area. He also just returned to Wu County when he received a report from his subordinates that Cai Yong, a great sage of the dynasty, was brought back by Sun Quan Jiang Dong, he couldn't wait to pay his respects.

"Humph!"

Cai Yong waved his hand and said with a cold snort: "In the old days when Luoyang was on fire and Guanzhong was in chaos, a certain one was separated from your junior sister when he was taken to Chang'an by Dong thief. Although that brat Sun Quan saved your junior sister, he just passed by It has been two years since I brought Zhaoji back to Jiangdong."

In his words, he didn't have much resentment towards Sun Quan, but he was a little bit annoyed, it was the tone of an elder's hatred for a stubborn junior, which surprised Gu Yong a little.

"I see."

Gu Yong frowned, suddenly remembered something, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Young Master Quan hid his junior sister well, but Yong didn't know anything about it, even my Gu family's eyeliner knew that the old Sun family's mansion was hidden. A Mr. Cai is a female gentleman, who is specially educated for the children of the grandson family. Her surname is Cai, but Yong didn't expect that she was actually a younger sister. The student is really sorry for the teacher. Let the younger sister live in Jiangdong, but she lives alone under the fence. Yongzhi wrong."

"Since you don't know, I don't blame you for this matter. Sun Quan, a bastard, is afraid that someone will think about it, so he naturally hides Zhao Ji like a treasure."

Cai Yong naturally understood Sun Quan's wolfish ambition, smiled coldly, walked to the desk in the middle of the room, knelt down and said, "Yuan Tan, sit down!"

"Teacher, isn't Junior Sister already married to the Wei family, this Mr. Quan and Junior Sister?" Gu Yong also knelt down and asked with a puzzled look upon hearing this.

"It's a long story. When we were in Chang'an, the marriage between Zhao Ji and the Wei family had already been annulled by the Wei family. As for other matters, I will explain them to you later. I have something to ask you today as a teacher. , you answer me honestly." Cai Yong shook his head, unwilling to say more about the Wei family and Cai Yan, he looked at Gu Yong with a serious expression, and said.

Sun Quan's words shook his faith, and he couldn't help becoming interested in the people of Jiangdong today, or in Sun Quan's "ambition".

"Excuse me, teacher!" Gu Yong said with a solemn expression.

"How do you think the people in Jiangdong are living under the rule of the Sun family now? Are they more stable and happy than before under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?"

Cai Yong asked in a low voice with sharp eyes.

"Why did the teacher ask such a question?" Gu Yong was slightly stunned.

"You answer me first!" Cai Yong said with cold eyes and a serious face.

Gu Yong stared at Cai Yong, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he pondered for a moment, thought about it, tidied it up, and said: "Teacher, in fact, since the Yellow Turban chaos, the imperial court's control over the region has been much worse than before. Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics Afterwards, the situation of the imperial court in the local area was even more serious, and the counties in the east of the Yangtze River were separated, although there was no war, but there were bandits everywhere, and the people were indeed miserable."

"Then what happened after that?" Cai Yong's heart jumped.

"Later? The Jiangdong Army came. Sun Jian, the Sun family, is indeed a hero of the generation. This man is not only brave, but also both civil and military. He knows how to make good use of talents. He is also diligent in government and loving the people. Since the Jiangdong Army entered Wujun In the past two years, Wu County has undergone great changes, and the hundreds of thousands of people under his command have stabilized a lot.

Moreover, since last year, Kuaiji Danyang has also been taken under Sun Jian's command. Although it is a bit messy after the war, there are many talents in the Jiangdong army. Jiang Dong, this is the root of why he has been able to win the hearts of Jiang Dong's people in these years. "

"Jiangdong people's hearts?"

Cai Yong squinted his eyes, his heart was full of emotions, today the people are not popular, the court is not popular, why can Sun Jian win the people's hearts in Jiangdong?

....................................

After a strong and intense speech, Sun Quan left the Cai family's mansion in some embarrassment. Although he thought what he said was right, he just scolded his future father-in-law so bloody that he was embarrassed to see Cai Yan.

"Forget it, I can't afford to offend you, can't I still hide, I can hide for a few days!"

Looking back at the Cai Mansion, Sun Quan's face was bitter, and he felt a little depressed: Your uncle, can't this old man and his son-in-law get along peacefully?

"I don't know how long this old man Cai will be angry. This old man can be of great use. It's better not to ruin my business!" Sun Quan muttered to himself as he left Cai's mansion.

He took the risk of bringing Cai Yong back to Jiangdong, not only because of Cai Yan, but also because of Cai Yong's reputation, talent and knowledge. If people like Cai Yong were placed in modern times, they would definitely be giants in the education field .

There is a Jiangdong Academy in Wu County, which was funded and established by the county magistrate's office to attract talents from Jiangdong to study. The former prefect of Wu County Sheng Xian served as a sacrificial wine. Although Sheng Xian is talented, he has a good reputation in Jiangdong, but compared The level of great Confucianism is not bad at all.

If Jiangdong Academy wants to expand its scale and become the cradle of talents for the General's Mansion in the future, it must have a person of Cai Yong's level to suppress it, so that it can be famous and attract talents from all over the world.

For example, Lumen Mountain in Jingzhou and Yingchuan Academy in Yuzhou, these are the largest universities in the Eastern Han Dynasty today, even more famous than the Taixue that the imperial court ended. Jiangdong Academy has just started, and it is too far behind.

After leaving the Cai Mansion, Sun Quan pondered for a moment, thought of his own identity, and immediately went to the Jinyiwei yamen without stopping. After leaving Jiangdong for a while, he, the governor of the Jinyiwei, naturally wanted to see how the Jinyiwei was developing.

"Xiaotao, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Quan strode into the lobby of Wei Ya, and a thin and thin boy with black eye sockets, mentally ill, and obvious reactions of over-exercising and staying up all night came up to him.

"Governor, you're finally back." Han Tao raised his head, and when he saw it, there was a touch of excitement in his eyes, then he grabbed Sun Quan's arm, and with a mournful face, he said loudly: "If you don't come back again, Tao will collapse gone."

Jinyiwei is already on track, and Sun Quan has only left Jiangdong for a few months. There are three hundred families in Jinyiwei, and there is a former Sun Quan's confidant who is more familiar with Jinyiwei than anyone else. Zhu Zhi, the magistrate of Wu County, is watching, of course nothing will happen. misfortune.

However, Han Tao, the young man who temporarily replaced Sun Quan to handle some tedious and important tasks of Jin Yiwei, became sad.

Although there is actually no difference in handling things from normal times, but he is young after all, and he relies on Sun Quan on weekdays, so he handles things smoothly, but Sun Quan is not around, and he suddenly loses his support. Small decisions have to be considered eight or nine times before they dare to make a decision, so naturally they almost died of exhaustion on the desk.

"Xiao Tao, I just let you accumulate some independent experience. How did you make yourself like this?" Sun Quan looked at Han Tao's two panda eyes, pale face with a trace of blood, and smiled wryly.

Han Tao is the son of Han Fu, the pastor of Jizhou.

"Governor, Tao is still young, and it's still not enough to stand alone. It's too early to say. I'll follow you in the future." Han Tao came out and lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

"No promise!"
