In the ninth episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Wang Yun and Lu Bu conspired to kill Dong Zhuo, sergeant Wang Yun got together and called all the officials to celebrate. Suddenly, there was a discordant episode:
During the dinner, someone reported:? Dong Zhuo died suddenly in the city, and suddenly a man fell on him and cried. ? Allow anger: Dong Zhuo Zhu Fu, all the soldiers all congratulated; Who dares to cry alone? ? Then he called the samurai: Come with me! ? I'll get it later When all the officials saw it, they were shocked: It turned out that it was none other than Cai Yong, the servant in the middle.
But this episode is not the case in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty:
And Zhuo was punished. He sat in the same place, sighing and coloring meaningless.
The Han Dynasty did not mention Cai Yong's weeping for Dong Zhuo's body, but only said that when Cai Yong was a guest at Stuart Wang Yun's house, he inadvertently talked about it and sighed deeply. He looks sad, but he doesn't? Cry? Words.
Next, the description of Wang Yun's killing of Cai Yong is basically the same as that of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the latter is more concise:
If you allow me to be furious, I will pay Ting Wei for this crime. Decline politely, begging first, followed by Han Shi. The scholar-bureaucrat was saved, but he couldn't get it.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the dialogue between Wang Yun and Cai Yong in more detail. At that time, yun3 suddenly felt uncomfortable and lost his temper on the spot:
Allow me to scold you: Dong Zhuo's anti-thief, being punished today, is the great fortune of the country. You are a minister of the Han Dynasty, but you don't cry for thieves for National Day. Why? ?
And Cai Yong is willing to plead guilty, he explained? Cry? Dong Zhuo's reason is:
Although Yong has no talent, he also knows the great righteousness. Is he willing to turn his back on his country and pursue Excellence? Just because of the feeling of meeting someone at the moment, I don't feel like crying. I know I'm guilty. May the public see the original text: it will be a blessing to win the first award and continue to be the history of Han Dynasty in order to redeem its koo. ?
Here, Cai Yong asked for his life to continue studying the history of the Han Dynasty, and then Qiu (here is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? A teacher? Wrong) also begged yun3 for Cai Yong:
April has learned a lot from the world and learned a lot about China affairs. This will be a grand ceremony for a generation. And loyalty and filial piety, sitting is not real, doing is to make people lose hope? ?
Cai is an outstanding scholar who is familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty. We should let him continue to be the history of the Han Dynasty and become a classic. Besides, he has always been famous for his loyalty and filial piety, and there are no exact facts about the crimes he committed. I'm afraid killing him will lose people's hearts.
But yun3 obviously has no ability to treat people, he refused to Ma Ridi said:
Yesterday, Emperor Wudi did not kill Sima Qian, but wrote a libel book, which was handed down to later generations. This country is only declining, and the artifact is not solid. You must not let the courtiers write books around the young masters. It is not good for virtue, but it will make our party criticized. ?
The reason why Wang Yun killed Cai Yong is far-fetched. In fact, he thinks that Sima Qian's Historical Records is a libel book, and thinks that if Cai Yong writes articles beside the young master, he will not get the benevolence of the Holy Family, but will make our ministers suffer slander.
The description of Cai Yong's last murder in the Book of Later Han Dynasty is:? If you allow yourself to regret, you will stop and you will die in prison. At the age of sixty-one, the gentry and Confucianism will shed tears. ? The romance of the Three Kingdoms says: Yun3 refused to listen to Ma Ridi and ordered Cai Yong to be hanged in prison. At that time, when the scholar-officials heard it, they all shed tears. ? Among them, Wang Yun in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty expressed regret, while The Romance of the Three Kingdoms made no mention of it.
