Chapter 256: Cai Yong's Family Affairs

In the next three days, Wang Xu was also very idle. I wanted to go to the barracks to help, but the generals unanimously objected, saying that Wang Xu was running around the Taishou Mansion and the fortress west of the city every day, which was very unsafe. But in fact, with Wang Xu himself plus Dian Wei's fierce man, and nearly twenty guards accompanying him, no one in the world can really assassinate him. Last time, it was just because he was alone and didn't respond, so he was recruited.

On the side of government affairs, everything is now on the right track, with gradual development, major decisions have been made, and the officials can naturally implement the piecemeal things. There is nothing to do every day except for some Wen Jiàn who must be approved, and even Guo Jia Tianfeng and them seem to have nothing to do, let alone him. For this situation, Wang Xu is also very clear that in this era, there are no telephones and computers, and it takes more time to transmit and implement a policy. So unless you do everything yourself like Zhuge Liang, as long as nothing big happens, you won't be too busy.

With nothing to do, Wang Xu is really bored. In the morning, I grinded with Xu Shu and Xiaoyu and a few of their personal maids. In the afternoon, I chatted with the free ministers under my subordinates and exchanged feelings. Sometimes, I followed Xu Shu to see her workshop, or blow Dong Xiao and talk about the guqin. It's just that whenever I take out the single-tube hole flute, I unconsciously think of Xiao Cai Yanlai, and I don't know where they are now? Is it a guest residence with the Taishan Goat family, or is it still a seclusion in Koto?

In the early morning of the third day, because he was going to preside over the beheading of the assassin outside the West Gate at noon, Wang Xu's mood was even worse, and he sat quietly in the pavilion with the dong flute and played. The autumn wind blew by, bringing a "shivering" sound, coupled with the dripping autumn rain, it really added a sentimentality. In his memory, the faces of the Cai family also gradually emerged, which made Wang Xu miss it a lot.

For a long time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped for a while, and Wang Xu slowly put down the flute on his lips and sighed long. "Hey......"

"Husband, don't sigh all day long, be happy!" Xu Shu, who was dragging her head with her hands and eating fruit on the stone table, heard the sound of the flute stop, Wang Xu let out another sigh, and suddenly couldn't help but open her mouth to comfort.

"It's not a sigh, it's just that I'm not in a good mood today, and I feel very depressed." Wang Xu shook his head and said.

"I see that you have been playing with that single-pipe flute for the past two days, do you think of Cai Yan? Didn't you say that Cai Yan sent it to you? Hearing Wang Xu's words, Xu Shu also pulled the topic to distract him.

"Huh! yes, I miss their family! With that, Wang Xu also turned over and sat down next to the stone table, with a faint smile on his face.

Hearing this, Xu Shu thought about it, but suddenly said, "Then why don't you write a letter and send someone to find them!" Anyway, Cai Wenji is so pitiful, I really want to meet her, and it's good to think of her as a sister! Thinking that she was forced to marry three times in her life, and that she would be abused to the Southern Xiongnu for more than ten years, I really worried about her. ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Xu really hasn't thought about it so empathically, why do you have to wait for Dong Zhuo to mess with the government in the future and recruit Cai Yong into Beijing before looking for him? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just get him over in advance? "Hmmm! This method of yours is possible, but I don't know if he is still there or not, I remember that the history records that he traveled back and forth with the Taishan Goat family and the land of Jiangdong. ”

"Taishan Goat?" Hearing this, Xu Shu's big eyes turned slightly, and after a while, he asked uncertainly, "Which sheep?" ”

"The sheep of Shanyang!" Wang Xu replied.

"Huh? The current Nanyang County is too shou Yangxu, isn't it Taishan people? Xu Shu suddenly wondered.

As soon as Xu Shu said this, Wang Xu reacted suddenly, and his eyes immediately widened in surprise. "That's right! The year before last, Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, who had made meritorious contributions to pacifying the Yellow Turban, was killed by the Jiangxia traitor Zhao Ci, who was the rebellion of Wang Min and Yang Xu, the assassins of Jingzhou at that time! Later, Wang Min was transferred to Luoyang, but Yang Xu stayed to be Nanyang Taishou, and this Yang Xu was a member of Taishanyang's family. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu was afraid that Xu Shu wouldn't know, so he couldn't help but smile and continued: "Moreover, he has a son named Yang Xu, and his first wife is Kong Rong's daughter, but unfortunately he died early and only gave birth to a son, Yang Fa." Later, he married Cai Yong's daughter, and then gave birth to Yang Huiyu, Yang Cheng, and Yang Hu, a daughter and two sons. Yang Kuli Shi Cao Wei and Sima Jia, famous generals in the late Wei and early Jin dynasties. Yang Cheng died early, and Yang Huiyu married Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi. I remember whether the title was Queen Jingxian Sheep or Queen Jingdeyang, and I forgot it. ”

"That's right! Cai Yong's daughter is very virtuous, and there is a very famous thing in history. Yang Fa, that is, the son born to the daughter of Yang Wei and Kong Rong, fell ill at the same time as his own son Yang Cheng, and said that there was no help, so she tried her best to take care of Yang Fa. wants to make up for Kong Rong's daughter, that is, her unmasked sister, Yang Wei's deceased ex-wife. Because she felt that she had failed to be a good mother, even though it was not her own birth. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu was also a little embarrassed, and couldn't help sighing: "As a result, Yang Fa survived, but his own son Yang Cheng died." Therefore, she is very respected, and Yang Fa treats her like a mother, and several brothers and sisters also have a very good relationship because of her virtuous mother. And her daughter Yang Huiyu also inherited this virtuous and virtuous virtue! ”

"What a great woman!" Xu Shu also shook her head with a sigh after hearing this. But after bowing his head and pondering for a long time, he suddenly looked at Wang Xu, with a pair of big eyes full of puzzlement. "Husband, are you sure what you just said is correct?"

"How could this be wrong? Although I can't remember the original text, but one of the twenty-four histories of the "Book of Jin" is recorded like this, in the "Book of Jin, the Biography of the Queen" and "The Book of Jin: The Biography of Yanghu", I have read it, although the original text cannot be remembered, but probably the content is not wrong, after all, these people are related to the people I pay great attention to. Wang Xu immediately said with certainty.

Hearing this, Xu Shu took a deep breath and stared straight at Wang Xu: "Then you sue me, who else is Cai Yong's daughter besides Cai Wenji?" ”

"Huh? That's right! Who else? Wang Xu was also stunned suddenly, and his eyes flashed confused. When I used to read this book, I was just interested in it, but I didn't study it as carefully as Hanshu, and I just read it as a story, Xu Shu's question is quite acute!

Seeing that Wang Xu was also puzzled, Xu Shu couldn't help but glance at him. "You ask me, and who do I ask? Don't you say you've seen it? ”

"I've seen it, but there's no record in history!" Saying that, Wang Xu thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "When I used to play games, Yanghu's strength, intelligence and other numbers were the top. So I was more interested in him, so I paid special attention to memorizing it. But what I didn't say in the official history, I didn't study it! ”

After speaking, Wang Xu himself fell into silence. I remember that in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the only one recorded was only one daughter, and that was Cai Wenji. Even when Cao Cao ransomed Cai Wenji, he still sent an envoy to redeem Cai Wenji from the Huns with Jinbi because he had no heirs, and remarried Dong Ci, which is really strange. And I remember that when I first read Yanghu's biography, there was another scene. seems to say that he begged Wu Yougong and wanted to be knighted, so he begged to transfer the title to his uncle's son Cai Xi, and it was approved. At that time, it was strange for a while, but I didn't expect that the seal could be transferred to others.

But now that I think about it, it is precisely because of my surprise that I don't seem to pay attention to a very critical issue. Yanghu's mother is Cai Yong's daughter, so isn't his uncle Cai Yong's son, then Cai Xi is also Cai Yong's grandson!

Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly felt a little unimaginable, and when he turned his head and told Xu Shu all the doubts in his heart.

Xu Shu was also quite interested in these gossips, and after listening carefully, she also helped analyze them. "Husband, do you think it could be that Cai Yong was born in exile for 12 years? Cai Wenji was just born, Cai Yong was persecuted, and the world already knew Cai Wenji at that time, so naturally there was no way to hide it. But later, in the past 12 years, after giving birth to a son and a daughter, they can completely hide, so that they can live in peace and stability. Besides, didn't you say that Cai Yong traveled back and forth between the Taishan Goat family and Jiangdong? Doesn't that make sense? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought about it seriously, and did not rule out this possibility, but then said with some doubts: "But even so, there is a problem!" Why does the Book of the Later Han Dynasty say that Cao Cao mourned that Cai Yong had no heir, and then paid a lot of money to redeem Cai Wenji? If Cai Yong still has children and daughters in the Central Plains, even if Cao Cao wants to redeem Cai Wenji, he won't say that he has no heir! ”

"This ......" Xu Shu pondered for a long time this time, but after a long time, she said unwillingly: "I think that although there is no heir, it also has the meaning of no queen, but that is just a kind of understanding, and the original meaning is that there is no heir." I remember you said before that both of Wang Can's sons were involved in rebellions and were killed by Cao Pi in history, and Cao Cao lamented that if he wasn't in Hanzhong, it would definitely not have left Wang Cang without a queen. Doesn't that make sense? ”

"Cai Yong has a son, how can he not have an heir?" Wang Xu immediately retorted.

"Early death!"

"What about the grandson? It's that Cai Xi, Yang Wei's cousin, he's not dead yet! Otherwise, where did the sheep wither transfer the title? Wang Xu retorted again.

"It's too young to qualify!" Xu Shu shrugged her shoulders, her face full of indifference.

"The mother of the sheep is always qualified, right?" Wang Xu still refused to give up.

"You're stupid! Cao Cao doesn't know, Yang Withered's mother, as Cai Yong's youngest daughter, has been hiding for so many years, and Cai Yong is dead, will she publicize this kind of ugly thing? It's you, do you say it or not? As for when Yang Ku later transferred the title, Cao Cao had been dead for decades, and the participants also died back then, so he naturally had no scruples. Besides, it is also possible that Cao Cao knew, but deliberately concealed it, anyway, he felt that he should do something for Cai Yong, a half-teacher and half-friend, so he just found an excuse to do it. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't say anything more, thought about it, and couldn't help nodding. "You have a far-fetched point, but there is some truth in that. However, no matter what he does, when he contacts Cai Yong in the future, he will quietly inquire about it, and he will know everything, why bother so much! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu looked at the gloomy sky, and was thinking about how to find Cai Yong. In the distance of the courtyard, Ling Wanqing's soft voice suddenly came: "Master, the slave family has something to report. ”

"Uh......" Hearing this somewhat numb sound, Wang Xu's goosebumps fell to the ground.

Turning to look at Ling Wanqing who was walking briskly from the garden path, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Wanqing, can you not speak in this tone in the future?" ”

"Huh? Lord, didn't you let me? Ling Wan smiled softly.

"Did I tell you like this?"

"Didn't you say to Shan Huai, let's be more natural in the future? I'm natural now, right? I want to help my sisters solicit customers......"

Hearing Ling Wanqing say this, Wang Xu hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Stop!" Stop! You'd better say something! ”

"Huh!" Glancing at Wang Xu with a smile, Ling Wanqing's face gradually became stricter, her eyes looked at Wang Xu and Xu Shu, and she smiled slowly: "Jingbei Liu Biao has a big move!" ”
