In 192, Dong Zhuo was killed, and Situ Wang Yun summoned hundreds of officials to drink bitterly. Suddenly, the sergeant came to report: "Someone is crying Dong Zhuo bitterly!" Wang Situ was furious: "Dong Thief was killed, the whole country celebrated, and there were even people who were sad for Dong Thief!" Get him! "The men took the order and left.
After a while, several soldiers escorted an old man. Everyone looks at it, isn't this Cai Bozhe? Cai Boxue is Cai Yong, and Wang Yun and he are subjects of the same dynasty and are very familiar with each other.
"Cai Yong, you are so bold, don't you know who Dong Zhuo is?" You actually cried for him on the street, it turned out that you were also Dong Zhuo's party! Wang Yun's voice was exhausted and jumped like thunder.
Cai Yong wiped away the tears from his nose and knelt down in front of Wang Yun: "Wang Situ spares his life!" I also know that Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, but when he was in power, he was still good to me, and when I saw him exposed to the street, I couldn't help but cry, and I had no other intentions, please forgive Situ. Leave me alive, even if the face is shaved (ancient criminal law), let me complete the "History of Han", okay? ”
The full house of secretaries pleaded one after another: "Please Situ forgive Cai Boxue, he is just a nerd!"
"The sin is unforgivable, put in jail, waiting to be released!" Wang Yun waved.
Cai Yong (蔡邕), courtesy name Bozai, was a native of Chenliu County (陳留郡圉县, in modern Qixian County, Henan). Cai Yong was a writer, calligrapher, and musician of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the father of cai Wenji, a talented daughter, and was very famous.
In 189, the Han Ling Emperor died, and He Jin took control of the imperial government, and as a eunuch, he used Yuan Shao's strategy to summon foreign troops to Beijing. Dong Zhuo took advantage of this opportunity to ride into Beijing with his Xiliang Iron. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he deposed the young emperor Liu Xie and established Liu Xie as the prince of Chenliu. He appointed himself Sikong, Taishi, and Xiangguo, and specialized in government affairs.
He heard that Cai Yong was very famous, so he recruited him, and Cai Yong said that he was sick and would not go. Dong Zhuo was furious and scolded, "I have the power to destroy the three tribes, Cai Yong is so proud, I just raised my hand against him." He also urgently ordered the prefecture and county to recruit Cai Yong. Cai Yong had no choice but to answer the order, and was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the acting sacrificial wine, which was highly respected.
Soon, Cai Yong was again promoted to gaodi (official name), successively serving as a shi yushi, a zhishu shi yushi, and a shangshu, and within three days, he traversed the three platforms. He was also promoted to the post of Taishou of BaJun and was retained as a servant, accompanying Dong Zhuo around. In 190 (the first year of Chuping), Cai Yongbai was made the general of Zuo Zhonglang, moved the capital to Chang'an with Emperor Xian of Han, and was given the title of Marquis of Gaoyang.
Dong Zhuo's guest subordinates wanted to honor Dong Zhuo and Jiang Taigong as Shang Father. Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong, and Cai Yong said, "Taigong Assists Zhou and is ordered to destroy shang, so he is given the special name taigong." Although your prestige is high now, compared to Jiang Ziya, I think it is not enough. It is not too late to wait until the Kanto is settled, and His Majesty returns to the old capital, and then discuss the matter. Dong Zhuo accepted his opinion.
In June 191, an earthquake struck Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong about it. Cai Yong said: "The ground movement is caused by the invasion of the yang by yin and sheng, because the subordinates do not abide by the state system. In the suburbs of the spring before, Dong Gong's car was driving, riding jinhua green cover, claw painting hatchback, everyone thought it was inappropriate. Dong Zhuo then took a soap cover car instead.
Dong Zhuo valued Cai Yong's talent and fame, and was very kind to him; holding banquets often made Cai Yong drum and piano cheer, and Cai Yong also had the heart to contribute, and wanted to support justice as much as possible and let Dong Zhuo do less evil.
Dong Zhuo has a tough personality and rarely accepts Cai Yong's advice. Cai Yong said privately to his cousin Cai Gu: "Dong Zhuo has a strong personality, is prone to evil, and cannot succeed in the end. I want to run east to Yanzhou, but the road is too far to go, and I plan to temporarily flee to the Shandong region to see, how? Cai Gu said: "Your appearance is different from ordinary people, walking on the road, you can see it at a glance, it is difficult for you to hide!" Cai Yong dismissed this idea.
Cai Yong was heavily relied on by Dong Zhuo and held a high position, and some people regarded Cai Yong as Dong Zhuo's party, saying bad things about him behind his back, and Situ Wang Yun was also jealous of him.
In 192, Wang Yun joined forces with Lü Bu to kill Dong Zhuo and seize the power of the imperial government. The perfect beauty plan and the reverse plan killed the invincible Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun began to flutter. Wang Yun ordered the murder of Dong Zhuo's entire clan, and Dong Zhuo's ninety-year-old mother did not let go, and many those who were slightly involved with Dong Zhuo were beaten into Dong Zhuo's party, ranging from being imprisoned to being killed on the spot.
When Tai Wei Ma Ri heard that Cai Yong had been imprisoned, he hurried over to intercede with Wang Yun. Ma Ribao said: "Cai Bo is a great wizard, if you leave him to write the history of this dynasty well, it will be a great event." Moreover, his reputation has always been very good, if you kill him, I am afraid that I will lose the hearts of the people! ”
Wang Yun snorted and said, "Emperor Wu of Han did not kill Sima Qian, and let him write down bad things for posterity." Now that the country is weakened and the young lord is in the dynasty, if you use a courtier like Cai Yong to write history, I am afraid that I will write some bad words to slander us. ”
Ma Ri was bored and retreated. When he met the other courtiers, Ma Ribao angrily complained to them: "Wang Yun this person! Don't you have any descendants? Treating others well and ruling the country by law is the program of the country; writing history and preserving it is the rule of a country. How could a person like Wang Yun, who destroyed the discipline and abolished the code, last long! ”
Wang Yun was even more angry when he heard others talking privately, so he ordered someone to secretly hang Cai Yong in prison. Cai Yong was only sixty years old when he died.
Cai Yong was killed, which made people re-acquaint themselves with Wang Yun, who had been able and clever before, and was replaced by Wang Yun, who was self-absorbed, arrogant, and frivolous.
Dong Zhuo was killed, and several of his generals Li Dai, Guo Feng, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were still there, and they held military power and a certain strength.
The four joined forces with the emperor to ask for forgiveness for their sins, and most of the ministers agreed to pardon the four. Wang Yun, however, said: "These four people are Dong Zhuo's accomplices, and everyone else can be pardoned, but the four of them cannot be pardoned."
Therefore, in order to survive, the four instigated soldiers to kill Ben Chang'an under the plot of the strategist Jia Xu. Wang Yun thought that there was the world's first general Lü Bu to help, and there was a city guo strong to resist, but he did not expect that soon Chang'an was breached, Lü Bu fled, and Wang Yun and the emperor fell into the hands of Li Dai and four other people. Wang Yun was killed, the three tribes were destroyed, and Emperor Xian of Han was once again trapped in the hands of thieves, and it was better to live than to die.
Cai Yongyi, a scholar, shed tears for Dong Zhuo, was beaten by Wang Yun as Dong Zhuo's party, and was brutally killed. Killing Cai Yong chilled the hearts of the scholars. Wang Yun let the Eastern Han Dynasty miss the best opportunity to turn the tables; poor Emperor Xian of Han had a lot of fate and could not control his own destiny.
