Why did Cai Yong cry for Dong Zhuo? death by a tear

See the ninth episode of "Eliminating the Violent Lu Bu to Help Situ and Offend Chang'an to Listen to Jia Xu": In the middle of the banquet, it was suddenly reported that "Dong Zhuo was suddenly found dead in the city. Suddenly a man fell on him and cried loudly." Yunyun said angrily, "Dong Zhuo's subjugation is a tribute to the people." Who dares to cry alone! Then he called to the samurai: "Catch me!" " He was captured instantly. When all the officials saw it, they were all horrified: It turned out that it was not someone else who had seen it. Episode 9: "Lv Bu helped Situ with violence and offended Chang'an by listening to Jia Xu": At a banquet, someone suddenly reported: "Dong Zhuo died suddenly in the city. Suddenly a man fell over him and cried loudly. Yunyun said angrily, "Dong Zhuo's subjugation is a tribute to the people." "Who dares to cry alone!" Then he called to the samurai: "Catch me!" and was captured instantly. When the officials saw this, they were surprised. It turns out that this person is none other than Cai Yong, a public servant of the Chinese government. He said: "Dong Zhuo rebelled against the thief and was arrested today. This is a great blessing for our country. You are a minister of the Han Dynasty, but you cry for the thief instead of crying for the National Day. Why?" Yong's father confessed and said: "Although Yong has no Talented, aware of righteousness, willing to leave the country and leave Zhuohu? Because I have known him for a while, I don’t feel like I am crying for it, and I know that I am guilty. I am willing to read the original work: If I am beheaded, I will continue to be a Han Dynasty. history, so that I can atone for my sins." All officials cherished Yong's talents and tried their best to save them. Ma Tairi also confided to him: "Bo Yi has lost his talent in the world. If he continues to be a member of the history of the Han Dynasty, it will be a big thing. Moreover, his filial piety is mediocre. If he is killed, he may lose his popularity." Yue Yun said: "In the past Xiao Xiao Wu Bu killed Sima Qian and later sent him to be a historian, so he slandered the book in later generations. Today, the country's fortunes are declining and the government is in chaos.

I'm afraid that in the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Dong Zhuo is the most annoying author. Since Li Su said, "The emperor recovered from his illness and wanted to be civil and military in the Weiyang Palace, and he proposed that Zen be the imperial master, so he wrote this letter." Luo Guanzhong described many signs before Dong Zhuo's death, showing the inevitable result of his defeat:

First, Dong Zhuo’s mother’s flesh was trembling.

After walking less than thirty miles, the car suddenly turned a corner and Zhuo got out of the car.

What followed was a series of ominous signs:

Less than ten miles away, the horse roared, screamed, and broke the reins. Zhuo Su asked: "Is this a sign of breaking the wheel and breaking the horse?" ? Su said: "The Grand Master should learn from Han Zen and abandon the old for the new. He will definitely take the sign of the jade chariot and the golden saddle." "Be happy and believe what you say.

The next day, halfway through the queue, a strong wind suddenly blew and the sky was shrouded in fog. Zhuo Su asked: "Why is this auspicious? Su said: "When you climb the dragon, there will be red light and purple mist, which will make your ears strong." "Zhuo was overjoyed but not doubtful.

That night there were more than a dozen children singing in the suburbs, and the songs were recorded by Feng. Song: "Senecio, he is green! Ten days, no life! "This song is very sad. Ask Zhuo Lisu: "What good or bad luck does the nursery rhyme master have? Su said: "It's just that the Liu family died and the Dong family prospered." "

The next morning, Dong Zhuo set out from entering the court. Suddenly he saw a man wearing a green robe and a white scarf, holding a long pole, one ten feet long.

1. The crowd" Watching helplessly, the corpse sergeant used his navel as a lamp to burn with fire, and the ointment flowed all over the floor. When people pass by, they will throw their heads into their hands and practice their corpses. "The "lighting sky lanterns" on people are of course caused by extreme hatred and have a Japanese flavor. Later, what became more enjoyable was Dong Zhuo's generals Li Jue and Guo Si. They participated in the war in the name of avenging Dong Zhuo and forced him to kill "After that, he ordered to pursue Dong Zhuo's body, obtain some fragments of skin, flesh and bones, carve them into shapes with incense wood, arrange them neatly, and set up a big sacrifice, using the king's clothes and coffin. During the burial, there were thunderstorms and the water was several feet deep on the flat ground. Thunderbolts shook the coffin, and the body was carried out of the coffin. Li Jue was buried when the sun was shining, night after night. After three reconstructions, nothing could be buried or destroyed, which is called thunder and fire. Not even a whole corpse was left, and even if it was reburied, it was still cursed, and the tomb was repeatedly damaged. No wonder the author couldn't help but stand up and say: "The sky is angry and people are complaining." . It can simply be described as embarrassing! "

However, for such a person who is hated by countless people, has anyone ever "cryed"?

At the beginning of the book, Cai Yong told the emperor, "I thought it was because of Fudian's intervention, my words stand straight.

"Later he was framed by Cao Jie and lost his official position because of his direct admonishment. He was obviously a loyal minister and a righteous man of the Han Dynasty. How could Dong Zhuo cry for his death again when Dong Zhuo died without having time to praise such a person? Even Cai Yong himself knew it." One of them cried unconsciously, knowing that he was guilty. "I am willing to read the original work: If I am beheaded, I will continue to make the history of the Han Dynasty, so that I can redeem my grievances, and I will be lucky enough to be saved." Crying for a rebel, even if it is 'cut off' One's own feet' are a great sin. What did he do?

Let’s go back to history and start from the beginning.

After Shichang was liquidated, Cai Yong returned to his hometown and lived a leisurely life in seclusion. After Dong Zhuo came to power, he wanted to "use celebrities" to win over people who had disappeared long ago. So I remembered Cai Yong who was idle at home, so I sent someone to invite him. Cai Yong knew that Dong Zhuo was not a good person, but there was nothing he could do. He was forced to give the order by Dong Zhuo's arrogance.

I am also very happy that Dong’s insights and great scholars like Cai Yong can come. "I will give you the highest military rank to supplement the empire, and then I will transfer it to the empire and history books. Three days of leisure and three weeks of calendar. You will be moved to the prefecture of the county and left as a servant." Within three days, Cai Yong was promoted from a mid-level official with an salary of 600 shi to a senior official with an salary of 2,000 shi, a significant improvement in his status.

In the first year of Chuping, Cai Yong became an official and worshiped General Zuo Zhonglang, moved the capital from Disian to Chang'an, and served as a township official in Gaoyang, which shows Dong Zhuo's great love for him. However, Cai Yong still didn't want to wait for Dong Zhuo for a long time. He once considered traveling all over Yanzhou, but ultimately gave up the plan because Cai Yong had a special appearance and was easily recognized by ordinary people. Later we all know that Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo and took power in the court. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", "Jizhuo was killed. Yong sat there and looked at the clouds, but unexpectedly sighed and was filled with emotion."

It was this profound sigh that ruined Cai Yong's life. Wang Yun and Cai Yong still remembered Dong Zhuo's old love, classified him as Dong Zhuo's remnant party, and executed him in prison. He is 61 years old.

Whether he was crying or sighing, Dong Zhuo still had some understanding of Mr. Cai Yong. After all, it was during Dong Zhuo's dynasty that Cai Yong was able to worship General Zuo Zhonglang, and people called him "Cai Zhonglang". Later, he was even promoted to a high position. It can be said that these positions were given by Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo was a villain, he was very kind to Cai Yong, and it was impossible for anyone to have no feelings for him.

Of course, the difference between this sigh and the crying corpse is the principle. It contains another profound meaning: Cai Yong knew that the fundamental reason for becoming an official was forced by Dong Zhuo, and he and Dong Zhuo were not of the same species. . Now that Dong Zhuo has failed, many people don't know what they really think, and he can't explain it. So after hearing the news that Dong Zhuo was dead, he also knew that his fate was destined to be bad, so this sigh was more a reflection of his complicated and helpless thoughts, and it was a subconscious expression of emotion. And this sigh became Wang Yun's "crime" for wanting to kill Cai Yong. In fact, if you want to add a crime, you can't beat the dog's tongue. Whether Cai Yong sighed or not, the result was the same.

I have already discussed the mistakes Wang Yun made when he was in charge of the government, but I think his treatment of Cai Yong is chilling.

My surname is Cai. Naturally, I am very concerned about the life of my ancestor Cai Yong. He was one of the best scholars of his time. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he, Lu Zhi, Han Shuo and other great scholars compiled the "Book of Han" and supplemented the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which lasted more than a hundred years from the period of Emperor Ming to the period of Emperor Ling. Cai Yong wrote "Records of the Ling Emperor", 42 personal biographies, and "Ten Meanings", which is the "Ten Years Genealogy" and is the classic system of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But most of them were destroyed by the subsequent war, and only 24 volumes and some fragments have survived to this day. At the same time, Cai Yong is also an excellent poet, with more than 100 poems, lyrics, poems, inscriptions, etc. passed down from generation to generation.

Cai Yong was proficient in music and drumming, and his piano skills were unparalleled at the time. His Jingwei Qin is as famous as Duke Huan of Qi's Chime Bell, King Zhuang of Chu's Yuanliang, and Sima Xiangru's Green Chess. It is also known as the four most famous Qin in the world.

The more famous is Cai Yong’s calligraphy. According to Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty, "Dharma books should be recorded?" "The name of the person who taught the brushwork" says that Cai Yong received the art from a god, but passed it on to Cui Yuan and Wenji. Wenji passed it to Zhong Yao, Zhong Yao passed it to Wei Fu, Wei Fu passed it to Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi passed it to Killed Wang Xianzhi.

In this way, the famous Xihe and Xianzhi in later generations were his disciples.

However, it was such a scholar named Cai Yong, then Zuo Zhonglang General, who was deeply moved after hearing the news of Dong Zhuo's death, and was taken to prison by Wang Yun.

Hearing that Cai Yong was imprisoned, officials including Qiu came to intercede and asked Wang Situ to be lenient and allow Cai Yong to continue editing the "Book of Han". But Wang Yun showed his ruthless side. "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not kill Sima Qian, the world got another book of slander. If we leave Cai Yong now, wouldn't we need another book of slander to confuse the emperor and slander you and me?" In Yun Yun's eyes, it is just a "slanderous book"! This is how Cai Yong died in prison. Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar at the time, sighed and said, "Cai Yong is dead. Who else can explain what happened in the Han Dynasty?" If it weren't for Wang Yun's indiscriminate killings, the Twenty-Four Histories popular today might be different.
