Chapter 492: Cai Yan who thinks about Liu Qi
Cai Yong had already returned to his hometown, which was a bit unexpected to Liu Qi.
Although Liu Qi could probably guess through Cai Yan's indifferent performance at the moment that Cai Yong might have returned to Guandong before the Chang'an Rebellion.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, you will understand that the Chang'an Rebellion was planned by Dong Zhuo, with the purpose of finding out all the court officials who opposed him and then cleaning and sanctioning them. In that chaos at that time, it would naturally be easy to hurt innocent people.
It seems that it was not impossible for Dong Zhuo to release all the court officials who were loyal to him, like Cai Yong, to go to Guandong as various envoys.
This is also a way to protect them.
But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Cai Yong takes the opportunity to return to the countryside, which is in line with his nature.
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Cai Zhonglang returned to his hometown. This will relieve Zhaoji, you are a traitor... He shouldn't return to Luoyang again, right?"
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Of course, it won't happen. When Dong Zhuo conscripted Yan Jun, Yan Jun did not want to enter the court. Just because Dong Zhuo threatened the life of the Cai family, Yan Jun had no choice but to bring his family to Luo. Now that Dong Zhuo has been newly destroyed, the King of the King re-establishes the court. This old man and Yan Jun have always been incompatible. Now he is ranked as the Supreme Duke to control the government affairs. Yan Jun will not return to the court even more. He will be in the rivers and seas in this life."
Liu Qi said curiously: "I'm very surprised that Wang Yun is a high-ranking family in Bingzhou, while your Cai family is a ancestral residence in Chenliu. As far as I know, the two elders are all people who have experienced ups and downs. Although they have experienced great storms, they do not seem to have any intersection in their careers in their lives."
Cai Yan sighed and said, "Actually, to put it carefully, it is because of the root cause of the engraving of the Xiping Stone Sutra. When Yan Jun wrote to the late emperor, he asked for the 'Six Classics of Zhengding'. He was approved by the late emperor and carved for forty-six monuments before the Luoyang Taixue, for students from far and near to copy the scriptures. However, the final engraving of the stone sutra was based on the modern text, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many scholars in the world, especially the ancient classics and classics... and Wang Taifu is also one of them."
Liu Qi suddenly realized when he heard this.
He has also traveled back to the Han Dynasty for many years and has a certain understanding of what happened back then.
At that time, the power of foreign relatives led by Liang Ji collapsed, and two party and imprisonments occurred. The proposal to be issued at this time actually had certain political purposes.
Carving scriptures is actually a means used by the Liu Dynasty to win over the gentry, and it is also a means to differentiate scholars from ancient and modern times.
There is no way to do this. After all, the growth of the eunuch group has caused the emotions of scholars in the world to be strongly rebounded. To a certain extent, the eunuch group was used by Emperor Ling to suppress the scholars and maintain the imperial power.
But the power of the gentry is too great after all, and blindly suppressing and balancing cannot be done. Sometimes, appropriate comfort should be carried out to avoid excessive aggravation.
One of the effective means to soothe the scholars' hearts is to engrave scriptures.
At the same time, while comforting, there are also tricks to inspire.
The seven classics engraved at that time, the Lu poetry version of "The Book of Songs" and the Yan version of "The Book of Gongyang" were mostly used in modern texts. To a certain extent, they played a role in unified writing, but they also made the people who cared about the scriptures offend students of the ancient literature school, and intensified the level of struggle between the official modern literature group and the folk ancient literature group.
Although ancient classics are not the mainstream of official studies, modern classics have gradually become rigid after official evolution, and are combined with prophecies and divinations, and some of the content is absurd.
On the contrary, it has made ancient classics grow stronger among the people.
In fact, this is normal. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the modern literature was an official school, the ancient literature and classics had become a trend in the development of Chinese academics. The ancient literature and classics, which were well-versed in classics, were mostly taught at home, and had little negotiations with Cai Yong and others. However, the Xiping Stone Classics chose the modern literature and classics to be published. At that time, it did not receive the support of most scholars and was destined to be formalized.
Wang Yun caters to the mainstream of the people in this regard. His academic attainments are not too high or low, but he belongs to the ancient Chinese school.
It would be fine if it were someone else, after all, it was just an academic matter and could not be political.
But Wang Yun is different. He is a little petty person and belongs to the type that is vengeful.
If he hates you, he can remember you for the rest of his life. If he doesn't catch you, he will be cured. Once he catches the handle, the consequences will never be optimistic.
Liu Qi sighed in his heart, but he was still glad for Cai Yong.
At least, after leaving the court and Wang Yun, he could not be implicated in politics and save his life...
"Zhao Ji, there are so many troubles in the Central Plains. It is not peaceful to let Cai Zhonglang stay in Chenliu's hometown. Why not invite Cai Zhonglang to Jingzhou? One is safe, and the other is the same as your father and daughter?"
Cai Yan was very happy that Liu Qi was able to think about her father and daughter like this.
"I immediately wrote a book to invite Yan Jun to come...but it is hard to say whether he is willing to come to Jingzhou."
Liu Qi understood what Cai Yan said. These literati and poets were all very proud of their faces, and sometimes their ideas were stranger than the other, and they always liked to play with mavericks.
Especially an old man like Cai Yong who is quite famous but has an average military and political skills, his personality is usually very strange. I guess what he hates the most is that others command and interfere with him.
The more you ask him to do whatever he wants, the more he will not do.
To put it bluntly, it is the bad habits and pretentious diseases that literati and literati students in the late Eastern Han Dynasty have given them.
Whether love comes or not, I'm inviting you anyway.
"By the way, Boyu, there is something Yan'er wants you to know."
"What's the matter?"
"It's about King Chen."
"King Chen?" Liu Qi looked at Cai Yan in confusion.
Cai Yan said slowly: "It is said that before King Chen's death, he was carefully cared for by a Diao Chan official from Chang'an. This woman not only properly took care of King Chen during the severely injured period, but also advised and helped defend the city when Huang Hansheng and Xun Gongda defended Chang'an, and kept the Chen army safe. It can be said that she was the benefactor of the soldiers of the three armies of Chen."
"How did you know?" Liu Qi said in confusion.
Cai Yan smiled faintly and said, "Because it is related to King Chen, this incident spread very quickly."
Liu Qi silently muttered in his heart...Diao Chan?
In history, when Wang Yun cleverly used a series of plans, there was Diao Chan, but the problem was that it should be made up of the Romance of the Romance. The name Diao Chan could not exist because it was not a personal name at all.
In the palace, the position of Diao Changuan, who manages clothes and hats, does exist.
It is really unknown whether this woman appears because the Romance novel is collected from history or is it purely a coincidence.
However, just because of the word "Diao Chan", Liu Qi was interested in meeting Diao Chan, who took care of King Chen.
Liu Qi looked at Cai Yan and said, "Zhao Ji, what is the point of telling me about this?"
Cai Yan is really thinking about Liu Qi at the moment.
"Boyu, as the lord of one country, the name of the wise is very important. Before King Chen's death, all his sons and relatives were not around. This woman was filial to Liu in terms of behavior. After all, she sent away a prince. Yan'er thought, if you can praise this woman and thank him for taking care of Lao Wang for the relatives of Liu's clan, it would be a good story."
This is what people in the late Han Dynasty are best at doing.
Liu Qi sighed in his heart that if Cai Yan was a man, with his political literacy, he would have a place in the world. He would be a scheming politician.
"Zhao Ji's words are reasonable. I will personally go to comfort the woman when I choose a date."
...
At the same time, Yuan Shao returned on his way back to Hebei and secretly sent Pang Jiwei's envoy, took his handwritten letter to the south, and secretly sneaked into Jiujiang County through the Yanzhou territory under Cao Cao's jurisdiction.
At this time in Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu had already reduced his troops here to rest and develop Xu Tu.
