The god-spraying old Dong went online again, blew his beard, and stared at his eyes: "The merchants at least communicated with each other and transported the north and the south. This bastard has not seen any achievements, but he utters evil words. Sit and talk, no one can match; If everyone is like this, what is the prestige of the court, and how can the Han Dynasty be prosperous!"

"you you!……"

"Me, me, me! If you dare to talk nonsense, this old man will chop you up!..."

After spraying for a long time, Old Dong became a little impatient: it's Zhuge villager's style, not his own.

Give up the violence that is most beneficial to you, and waste your saliva with these idiots... If you have the time, why not use your tongue to do what you should do most.

Hey, why do you suddenly feel like a car is driving by?

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..."

Chapter 34 I'm going to be Lu Bu!

The wind in late autumn has begun to bleak, but Lao Dong's heart is burning.

Sitting on the bed, he looked at the virtual light screen in front of him with a smile on his face, and he muttered: "We need to invest more than 3 catties of gold and silver in the market to make the price of five baht worth less." , stabilized at the national price of [-] to [-]. Oh? ... There is also an index of economic development here."

"The market vitality of the horse market is slightly stronger, the circulation of the gold market is the fastest, and the potential of the Nan market seems immeasurable. From this point of view, when the market vitality of Luoyang is fully stimulated, the handicraft industry will also develop accordingly. You can climb the technology tree."

"The most important thing is that this time I earned another 17 points of popularity. After using 5 points to exchange for this economic monitoring function, there are still 12 points left, which is the time for a year to reverse growth and become more handsome."

Looking at the signs and data on the light screen in front of him, Old Dong smiled like a [-]-pound silly son of a landlord: "Accurately monitor the currency circulation, what a heaven-defying function."

"With this, in the future, the country will know all about minting and investing coins, and can boldly use currency and financial means to promote economic development under the rule."

"In the future, as long as we operate well, the people will be rich and the country will be strong, we will have money and food, and we will recruit soldiers and horses. Whoever dares to quarrel with this old man, I will personally deal with him!"

Then he glanced at the area at the end of the light screen, and he was a little greedy: "Unfortunately, this auxiliary monitoring system can only display the area currently under control. If it can even display mountains and rivers, it can be used as a military map."

At this time, the area on the light screen is only the three cities of Luoyang and Hedong County adjacent to Luoyang—the area that Lao Dong actually rules at present, that's all.

Moreover, the business index in Hedong County was very low, which made him frown.

Before he could think about this matter carefully, a guard outside the door announced: "Taiwei, Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Zuozhonglang, please see me."

"Oh, my eldest niece is here?..." With a thought, the light screen in front of him disappeared, and Dong Zhuo said cheerfully, "Come in, please."

"Taiwei..." Not long after, Cai Yan, who was introduced by the guards, wanted to salute.

"No need to be like this, there are no outsiders here, eldest niece." Without waiting for Cai Yan to bow down, Old Dong waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "This time, I would like to thank my niece for her wonderful pen and flowers. This memorial is so beautifully written that this old man..."

"Uncle, my niece has already asked my father, so don't think that my niece is a three-year-old child. Political struggles and power struggles in the court can be determined by a good or bad performance?"

As he spoke, Cai Yan took a step forward and asked earnestly, "Uncle, how did you get Yuan Gong to agree overnight, and seconded him in front of the courtiers?"

"This..." Dong Zhuo touched his beard and said inscrutablely: "Niece, you know what you should know, and you don't know what you shouldn't, okay?"

Cai Yan's delicate body trembled at the time, and her beautiful eyes glared: "Uncle, this is what you meant when you said to my father, 'Knowing what you know, and what you don't know is what you don't know' when you went to court?"

"This, isn't that what this sentence means?"

"Uncle, what do you say?"

"I, I am not... I have learned a lot of knowledge." For some reason, looking at the picture of the 17-year-old girl in front of him, Old Dong suddenly felt a little guilty: "Then, that... why did my niece come here today? ?”

"What's the matter?" Cai Yan's face became even colder, and she didn't know where the courage came from. She dared to press on the flesh-faced and murderous demon star in front of her step by step: "My niece is fine, so I can't come to visit my uncle." gone?"

After finishing speaking, he turned sideways on purpose: "Then I go?"

Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at Cai Yan's jade-like face, his two eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his bright eyes were flickering, and his eyes were watery... Then there was a slender figure that could not be concealed by the wide curvy train, and his expression changed It was extraordinarily strange.

not ugly...

Why are you so arrogant?

Cai Yan also felt a little flustered for a while, although it hadn't been a matter of a man and a woman, but the strange eyes of the other party gave her the feeling of a little white rabbit falling into a wolf's den.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo's expression calmed down again, and he suddenly realized with a smile: "My niece is angry... Don't worry, uncle is the one who crosses the river and destroys bridges."

"Tomorrow uncle will submit another letter, promoting Cai Zuo Zhonglang as Taichang!"

Taichang, the official in charge of etiquette of the ancestral temple in the ancient court, also in charge of culture and education, and also governed doctors and Taixue.Dong Zhuo didn't care much about the etiquette of the ancestral temple, what he valued was the aspect of culture and education.

Cai Yong is proficient in temperament and talented, and he is a teacher of Hu Guang, a famous scholar.In addition to being proficient in classics and history, good at Ci Fu, he is also good at calligraphy, good at seal script and official script, especially in official script.

It is recorded in history that he had a collection of more than ten thousand volumes of books, and he traveled around in middle age...well, to be precise, he was wanted and had to flee for his life, but this passively increased his knowledge and familiarity with the culture and customs of various places.

For such a university professor-like figure, it is difficult for him to engage in politics.But if you want to switch to a position of learning, you will feel at ease.

In history, the old Dong forced Cai Yong to enter the capital purely for the purpose of using other people's fame to put money on his face. Now the old Dong has arranged this way to make the best use of him.

The most important thing is that Taichang ranked first among the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty, and his status was very lofty.In the Han Dynasty, which attached great importance to courtesy and filial piety, this official position was very prestigious.

"Uncle thinks that my niece came here to ask for a reward?" Cai Yan frowned, her pretty face flushed, her breasts that had just taken shape were still slightly heaving, and she looked more and more angry.

"Oh...of course there is my niece, I have to give the ghostwriting fee." As he said that, Old Dong waved his hand: "Bring some gold, silver and silk, and my niece can buy some makeup and make some beautiful clothes."

"If my niece wants to give lectures, the old man can also give you the official position of a female doctor, and let you go to the Imperial College to give lectures. It will ruin people forever..."

As he said that, Dong Zhuo himself wanted to praise his wit: This reward is so thoughtful and touching!

In the Han Dynasty when men were superior to women, Zhaoji, have you ever met a man who has the courage to break the shackles of the world, and is willing to be an enemy of the whole world for you...

Wait, why does something seem wrong?

The eldest niece has a well-developed delicate body, why is it starting to tremble again?
