Chapter 8: Wen'an World, Wu Ding's Universe
Cai Yong was loyal to the country. Later, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, held the emperor hostage, and controlled the government. He summoned Cai Yong to Beijing to assist, but Cai Yong refused to leave. Dong Zhuo replied angrily to Cai Yong: "If you don't come, I will kill your whole family." Cai Yong had to sacrifice himself to serve the country and entered the capital to become an official.
Liu Fan's two poems about mercy on farmers touched Cai Yong deeply. He has always paid attention to literary talent. In this poem, he puts literary talent second, and what he sees is his feelings of worrying about the country and the people.
Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard? There was no idle land in the world, and the farmer still starved to death. Cai Yong seemed to have depression. These poems kept lingering in his heart.
"I've been awarded for public awards, but I'm just sending it out because of my feelings." Liu Fan looked embarrassed.
Even if he makes a pity for farmers, he is not necessarily a gentleman. For example, Li Shen, he is actually a corrupt official. Of course, he may have been a gentleman with noble character before writing these two poems, but later he became an official, and his most primitive intention changed.
"What does the Queen of Xi Qinting think like today?" Cai Yong calmed down and asked Liu Fan.
"The world is in chaos!" Liu Fan said in pain.
"Why did you say this?" Cai Yong asked in shock.
"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs were in chaos, nepotism, acted nonsense, and were greedy and cruel, no one dared to ask about it. The people in the world were full of grievances and were on the verge of an outbreak. As long as there was a spark, it could cause a prairie fire." Liu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs, with a look of grief and anger. He looked as if he wanted to eat their flesh and blood.
As Chen Fan and Dou Wu failed to fight against the eunuchs, the power of the eunuchs reached its peak again. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Su Song, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Ning Yuan, Han Ju and others were all named Marquis. Emperor Ling of Han was extremely favored by them and even often said, "Zhang Changshi is my husband, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." If things that cannot be solved in the court, Emperor Ling of Han would retreat behind the scenes to ask Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang said, Emperor Ling of Han listened to them.
Emperor Ling of Han also made the ten regular attendants unscrupulous, with high walls and great titles, equivalent to the imperial palace, and their parents and brothers were all given high officials and harmed the local people.
"Is there any rescue in the Han Dynasty?"
From the analysis just now, Cai Yong thought that Liu Fan was a genius, so he couldn't wait to ask.
"If there is chaos today, there is no cure to save you." Liu Fan shook his head.
If Liu Fan had to come to this world for twenty years earlier, with the knowledge and ability of his later generations, he would have a chance to pull the man back from the crisis. But now Zhang Jiao is about to complete the preparations, and countless heroic and capable people come forward. The most important thing is that Liu Fan himself has no power. Although he is a warrior, what he most desires is to seal the wolf and snatch the stones, rather than attacking his fellow tribes.
Thinking of the tragic situation of the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics, Liu Fan was deeply saddened. He was determined to go against the will of heaven, but he was unable to turn the situation back.
Hearing Liu Fan's words, Cai Yong looked tragic and felt sad. Just when he was desperate, Liu Fan narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Without chaos, how can he be reborn! If the current order is not broken, how can he build the most perfect order."
Every word is a pearl, and it will be reborn without going through chaos.
Cai Yong and Wei Ji were both shocked. Who was the one who created a new order? Is it the young man in front of you? The two shook their heads and dared not think deeply.
"The Marquis of Xiqinting has the talent of a king and a master. It would be a pity if he did not serve the country. I want to recommend you to the prefect Wang Yi, and I will be appointed as a filial and honest man next year." Cai Yong said expectantly. He really hoped that Liu Fan had the ability to save the Han Dynasty from water and fire.
"I am only sixteen years old and I am not as old as a filial and honest person." Liu Fan shook his head.
At the age of sixteen, Cai Yong and Wei Ji looked at each other. Because Liu Fan was tall and had a slightly immature expression, his temperament was very mature. They thought Liu Fan was at least eighteen years old or even twenty years old.
"Otherwise, Gan Luo, in the Warring States Period, became the prime minister of Qin at the age of twelve, and was appointed as prime minister at the age of 14. Their talent was even more powerful and he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. How could he not be a man?" Cai Yong took a breath.
Liu Fan smiled slightly, but still shook his head.
Wen can safeguard the world, and martial arts can control the world. Troubled times are coming, and only martial arts can end the roubled times.
"Why?" Cai Yong was puzzled.
From yesterday when I saw Liu Fan distribute land and rescue refugees, Cai Yong knew that Liu Fan was a master of the world and came to visit him on a whim. He would not hesitate to wait all morning to get to know Liu Fan.
A poem about compassion for the farmer Cai Yong judged that Liu Fan was amazing, and a poem about chaos in the world was not far away. Cai Yong judged that Liu Fan had a profound gaze. A poem about how to reborn without chaos, Cai Yong judged that Liu Fan had the talent of Wang Zuo. He could feel Liu Fan's sincere desire to serve the country, but why didn't he want to be a filial and honest man?
If Liu Fan knew the evaluation Cai Yong gave him in his heart, his face would probably be even redder. He was just a general on the battlefield. He was stunning in talent, and Wang Zuozhi had nothing to do with him. As a person who traveled through time, he still had a vision. If one day he became a prince, he would be confident, but not arrogant, he would humbly accept advice, and would not be unpleasant because of his loyalty.
"I have been good at military tactics since I was a child and know how to arrange troops and arrange formations. I believe that I have the courage of ten thousand people. I hope the Lord will recommend the prefect."
Liu Fan said it very bluntly. He didn't want to follow the literature, but wanted to follow the martial arts.
When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Since Cai Yong said that he wanted Wang Yi to recommend him as a man, it means that Cai Yong and Wang Yi have a good relationship.
I had never heard of Wang Yi in my previous life, but from Liu Fan's memory in this life, I knew that Wang Yi was the prefect of Hedong after Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was arrogant and extravagant during his tenure as Hedong Prefect, and the people of Hedong were very disgusted. During his tenure as the prefect, Wang Yi had great prestige in Hedong County and was loved by the officials and the people.
Cai Yong hesitated for a moment. Liu Fan's answer surprised him. With such talent, he actually said that he was a warrior.
