    At night, in the prison of Tingwei Mansion in Chang'an.

    Cai Yong sighed deeply, put the pen back on the cases, and shook his head slightly.

    Although he was imprisoned, Cai Yong still understood the situation in the outside world.  Now his friends are running around to rescue him, but Wang Yun catches the fact that he was named Marquis of Gaoyang Township by Dong Zhuo, and adds his name to the list of Dong Zhuo's party. The death penalty awaits him.  !

    To be honest, who doesn¡¯t want to live? What¡¯s more, Cai Yong¡¯s Han Shu has not yet been completed, and there are still many literary events waiting for him to complete.  However, if you want to survive now, you have to criticize Dong Zhuo verbally and writtenly. But no matter how you say it, Dong Zhuo has been kind to Cai Yong, so how can you be ungrateful?  !

    Cai Yong frowned and smiled bitterly. After all, he could not let go of this scholar's character.  However, isn't it just a death? Anyway, my daughter Cai Yan finally has a good home in Cao Ang. Even if she dies, I will still be worthy of my wife who died young But I haven't finished writing the book yet, so I can't give in!

    At this moment, the prison door opened slightly, and the jailer led a man in a black cloak in.  Cai Yong stood up in surprise, but the jailer ignored him and whispered to the man: "Sir, half an hour at most. I have taken a big risk this time"

    The man in the black cloak nodded slightly, took out a small ingot of gold from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the jailer's hand.  The jailer was overjoyed, thanked him profusely, and left excitedly.  The man in the black cloak waited until he was far away and then took off the hat on his head. It turned out to be Cao Cao.

    Cai Yong frowned slightly and whispered: "Meng De, you shouldn't come."

    Cao Cao took a few steps forward and said urgently: "Shouldn't you be here? Bo Zhe, if you don't go to Shu to plead guilty, your life will not be saved!"

    Cai Yong smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that he would not let go of a poor scholar like me? Wang Situ has really changed. It seems that power can really change a person! Could it be that no one in the Manchu Dynasty can persuade the king?  Yun? Will I be part of Mr. Dong¡¯s party? It¡¯s a joke!¡±

    Cao Cao sighed and said nothing. He knew that Cai Yong needed to vent.

    Sure enough, I heard Cai Yong say loudly: "On that day when Duke Dong moved to Chang'an, his guests all said that he had helped the country and his meritorious service was comparable to that of Jiang Taigong. They all persuaded Duke Dong to call him Shangfu. At that time, even Wang Yun did not  Dare to speak out against it, no one in the civil and military dynasties dared to speak out against it!

    But I spoke tactfully and said to Duke Dong: "The Grand Duke assists the Zhou Dynasty and is ordered to cut off merchants, so he is given the special title."  Today, the Ming Dynasty's majesty and virtue are sincerely formidable, but compared with those of the father, I foolishly think that it is not enough.  It is advisable to move eastward to pacify the situation, and to return the chariots to the old capital, and then discuss the matter.  ¡¯

    After hearing this, Mr. Dong gave up the idea of ??falsely calling him Shangfu.  Does this mean that he is still considered a member of Dong Gong's party, so his sentence cannot be reduced?  "

    Cao Cao shook his head slightly and just whispered: "Dong Zhuo has surrendered to the law, Bo Zhe should not call him Dong Gong anymore."

    Cai Yong laughed with tears in his laughter: "Even though Mr. Dong has all kinds of faults, he is very generous to me and appreciates me very much. Others can criticize Mr. Dong, but I can't.

    The last time the earth dragon turned over (earthquake), Dong Gong asked me for advice.  I said to him: "When the earth trembles, the yin rises and invades the yang, and it is caused by the officials' overstepping of control."  On the outskirts of spring one day ago, the Duke was led by a chariot, riding on a golden flower and a green cover, with two claws painted on it, which he thought was inappropriate for far and near.  ¡¯ After hearing this, Duke Dong changed the carriage to a silk-covered carriage and did not dare to cross it.

    Meng De, I am not asking for credit, but I am explaining this fact.  I, Cai Bojie, am by no means a rebel against the party. I just feel that Mr. Dong has shown some kindness to me, so I sigh for him. Do I also want to criticize Dong Zhuo with words and writings?  Is that still a human being?  !  Since Nuo was such a big court, couldn't Wang Yun tolerate any dissent?  !  "

    Cao Cao sighed and said in a low voice: "It's all us who have caused you trouble. This time Wang Yun used the topic to beat me and Zixiu. Who let me occupy the righteousness of assassinating Dong Zhuo? Many people advocated that I should come forward to cooperate with Wang  Yun handles political affairs, but how can Wang Yun trust me to intervene in government affairs? Who makes Wang Yun urgently need support from all over the world, but now he has received nothing but praise from all over the world! He is waiting for Zixiu to take the lead in surrendering,  On behalf of Yanzhou, I am paying tribute to him with grain and grass supplies!

    It¡¯s just that Yunjie (named by Bao Xin) died in battle a few days ago, and Zixiu (Cao Ang) is currently in a stalemate with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.  Not to mention paying tribute to the imperial court, even the supply of military supplies to the Yanzhou Army was somewhat difficult!  However, don¡¯t worry, Bo Zhe, I have ordered Na Shi Huan to rush to Hanoi County and urgently allocate a batch of supplies from Zhi County. I hope it can be in time"

    Cai Yong sighed and was speechless for a long time.

    Cao Cao persuaded in a low voice: "Bo Zhe, I know you are not afraid of death, but I don't want you to die unjustly and without value. Your Han Shu has not been completed yet.

    We are in the courtI will run for you, but you must also bow your head so that the increasingly stubborn Wang Yun can have a step to step down

    "Besides, for no other reason than Zhao Ji (Cai Yan) is still waiting for you to take care of her. If she and Zi Xiu have children in the future, she will have to rely on you to teach poetry. You can't do it!  "

    Cai Yong sighed again, and after a long time he said: "I listen to you, Meng De. Alas!"

    One day later, Cai Yong confessed to Wang Yun and explained to Wang Yun: "Although I was valued by Dong Zhuo, I was not bribed by my official position and title. After all, I understand the justice of the emperor and his ministers. How could I betray the court and protect Dong Zhuo?"  ! Now I am ignorant of the world and have made mistakes, but I still hope that I can be spared from death. I am willing to suffer all kinds of punishments, just to have a chance to complete the history of Han Dynasty"

    With Cao Cao's efforts, once this book came out, many scholar-bureaucrats felt a little pity and went to Shangshu to intercede for Cai Yong.

    Taiwei Ma Rixi made a special trip to Wang Yun's residence to plead for Cai Yong: "Bo Zhe is a rare and unique talent. He is knowledgeable and well-informed. He especially knows a lot about the stories of this dynasty. He should be given a chance.  Let him continue to write history books, and it will definitely be a masterpiece! Moreover, Bo Zhe is well-known among the scholar-bureaucrats for his loyalty and filial piety. Now to convict him on an unfounded basis will probably disappoint the court and make people dissatisfied!"

    But now Wang Yun was also riding a tiger. Considering his prestige, he still refused to give in. Instead, he said to Ma Rixi: "In the past, Emperor Wu took pity on Sima Qian's talent and let him live. As a result, Sima Qian did not want to be grateful, but  He wrote a slanderous letter that would spread to future generations and damage the dignity of the court!

    Now that the country is in decline, princes from all over the country have risen together, and they don't have much respect for the imperial court.  However, Cai Yong was grateful to Dong Zhuo and his position was unstable.  If Cai Yong is allowed to survive, then he may secretly slander and slander our young master, and he will also slander us, the courtiers who have submitted to compromise before!  At that time, not only will it not be beneficial to moral education, but it will also expose loyal and good people to criticism and accusation!  Cai Yong must die!  "

    Ma Rixi was very helpless. Knowing that Wang Yun had made up his mind, he could only retreat.  He said to Cao Cao who was waiting at home: "Wang Yun has made up his mind and will not listen to other people's advice. You must know that treating talents well is the lifeblood of a court's maintenance and development; organizing historical materials and disseminating classics are  It is one of the guarantees for the formulation and maintenance of the court's legal system. Now that Wang Yun does not pay attention to talents, it has cut off the lifeline of the court and hindered the inheritance of classics. How can it last long? It is just a pity for Bojie's talent!"

    A few days later, the day after Cao Ang obeyed the imperial memorial and arrived in Beijing, and two days before Shi Huan escorted the supplies to Beijing, Cai Yong was ordered to be executed by Wang Yun!

    After the news of Cai Yong's death spread, Dong Zhuo's old troops were shocked.  Cai Yong was only treated favorably by Dong Zhuo, but even a recognized virtuous man like him was forced to death by Wang Yun. Even Cao Cao, Ma Rixi and others' successive pleas for mercy were vetoed by Wang Yun. We all  Will the rebels in Wang Yun's eyes have a good end?  !

    On the third day after Cai Yong was executed, a roar broke out in the military camp in Chang'an City, and dozens of captains loyal to the imperial court were killed by the rebel army.  The rebels broke out of the camp and rushed into the city, burning, killing and looting. It was not until Lu Bu came forward to suppress them and promised a heavy reward that the soldiers obeyed the order and returned to the camp. At this time, the city of Chang'an was in chaos and on fire everywhere.

    Seeing this, Shi Sunrui hurried to Wang Yun's house and persuaded him to issue an edict to pardon Dong Zhuo's generals in the name of Emperor Liu Xie to appease the morale of the army.

    However, Wang Yun thought about it repeatedly and rejected this opinion. Instead, he said to Shisun Rui: "The subordinates could not help themselves and obeyed Dong Zhuo's instructions, so they committed a mistake. According to their true intentions, there was not much sin. But if  If we suddenly charge them with treason and then issue an amnesty to them, it will make them suspicious and fearful, and they will be unable to bear it. Therefore, pardoning their innocence will not make them feel at ease, nor is it the treatment that the rebels should enjoy.  We might as well let them accept a certain amount of punishment to establish military discipline and stabilize people's hearts!"

    There is some truth in what Wang Yun said. Shisun Rui sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.  After the news came out, the generals of the Liangzhou Army were very sad.  The previous camp roar was just a test, but I didn't expect that it would end like this.

    Since the imperial court is unwilling to publicly pardon everyone, it is very likely that they will settle accounts later and investigate everyone for their crimes under Dong Zhuo's account that day.  At that time, everyone resisted the Kwantung Allied Forces and killed many people. On the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, they burned, killed and looted the people. If they were investigated, who could survive in Wang Yun's hands?  !  From then on, there were rumors in the army that Wang Yun intended to kill all the people in Liangzhou, and everyone was in danger!

    Cao Cao soon heard the news. To prevent an accident, he hurriedly told Wang Yun: "The Liangzhou army has always been afraid that your Majesty will pursue their crimes of rebellion, but your Majesty has always refused to publicly pardon them. Now there are even more rumors.  He said, Your Excellency, you will kill all the people of Liangzhou, and the troops inside and outside the city will be killed.My heart is already unstable!  Now that Huangfu Song was the oldest and most prestigious in the city, he asked the prince to quickly ensure the safety of the Liangzhou army and send General Huangfu to Shaanxian County to command the army and appease the morale of the army.  "

    Wang Yun was a little hesitant, but still shook his head and said: "Why do you need to explain to these warriors what the imperial court is doing? It will damage the dignity of the imperial court in vain. Besides, the Xiliang army has been entrenched in Shaanxi County for too long. I am planning to let them move their camp. If they continue  Let General Huangfu go, and it might take a few more days. Now that there is insufficient money and food in the city, how can we delay?!"

    Seeing that Wang Yun was stubborn, Cao Cao could only sigh and leave, saying to his followers: "If this is the case, there is no hope for ZTE and the court is in danger!"
