Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 133 You can die in peace
In Ting Wei's prison, Cai Yong was as stupid as a log, and Cai Yan's eyes were crying like Tao'er.Just like this, the father and daughter looked at me and I looked at you, and spent a whole incense stick of time in silence.

Those who finally broke the embarrassing and desolate atmosphere are usually men who are generally bold and careless. Although Cai Yong is not a man in the general sense of Liu Xie's previous life, fortunately his genetic species still determines his reaction. Afterwards, he took the lead in asking: "Yan'er, how did Your Majesty know the inside story of begging for death for your father?"

"Daughter doesn't know." Cai Yan shook his head, wiped away tears sadly, took the opportunity to peek at Cai Yong's skeptical appearance, and quickly pretended to be sad and asked Cai Yong: "Father, why are you so hostile?" Daughter, is it because a daughter is not a man that she cannot inherit the mantle of her father?"

"Why did Zhao Ji say such a thing?" Cai Yong was shocked. He never thought that Cai Yan would say such a thing at this time. Without thinking too much, he quickly said something to comfort him: "In the early years of being a father, there were indeed After going through such absurd thoughts, I thought that if you were a man, there would be more masters in the world who could learn classics. But later, as your father went through ups and downs in the officialdom, and experienced dangers, you have already looked down on this matter. What's more, Yan'er, you are well-educated and sensible. , It can be compared to many strange men in the world, for a father to have a daughter like this, there is no regret in this life."

"In this case, why did my father refuse to promise Your Majesty's pardon, and leave Yan'er alone to endure the bullying in this troubled world? Yan'er is a woman, and she is a widow who was kicked out of the house by her husband's family. If my father died for no reason like this, or You can sacrifice your life for benevolence. But father, did you ever think that Yan'er's delicate shoulders should bear all the pain you have such a clear conscience!"

When Cai Yan said this, her tone could not help but become severe. At this time, she had never had the courage in 18 years.But just after seeing Liu Xie once, she didn't know why she suddenly had this idea of ​​rebellion, and she had the desire to vent all the grievances and forbearance she had suffered before: "Father, do you know, Yan'er How did you meet the Son of Heaven, and how did you persuade the Son of Heaven, who is so utilitarian, to get him to open his mouth? Your daughter's filial piety is in front of you, but you hit the wall twice , Offended the emperor, do you think your daughter has not suffered enough grievances?!"

After the words fell, Cai Yan's emotions were as uncontrollable as a flood that came out of the gate, and she couldn't help crying in front of Cai Yong again, complaining to Cai Yong while crying: "You are a great Confucian in the world, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, these Yan My son knows it all. Even if you sacrificed your life for the sake of the Han Dynasty and won a special name for a lifetime, your daughter can bear the pain. But what are you doing like this? I thought I was forgiven by His Majesty after all the hard work, but I didn't expect you to be indiscriminate So I let my daughter's hard work go to waste. It's good now, Sir Situ, who you have worked so hard to protect, will not miss you at all. After being angry with you, His Majesty already knew your thoughts, and he is too lazy to care about you..."

Cai Yong had been hesitant before whether Liu Xie knew the inside story of his intention to seek death, but he didn't expect that his daughter had already become like this before he came back to his senses, and he lost his position in an instant, and hurried forward to persuade and comfort her daughter.But Cai Yan was in a fit of anger at this moment, how could Cai Yong just persuade him?After Cai Yong was pushed away twice by his daughter, he finally couldn't care less, sighed and said: "Yan'er, you don't know something, my father doesn't want you to know this, it's not for the sake of fame, In fact, it's all to protect you!"

"Protect me?" Hearing Cai Yong's answer, Cai Yan couldn't help being moved, he paused slightly with his hands covering his face, and asked Chi Chi, "Why did father say that?"

"Ah!" Cai Yan sighed heavily again, looking very lonely and ashamed, sat down on the ground, and said: "Since Your Majesty already knows about this, there is no need to keep it a secret as a father, just ask After Yan'er found out about this, she left Chang'an quickly, and went to Yizhou, Jingzhou, or Jiangdong, but remember to keep her mouth shut and let those who are interested listen to her."

Seeing Cai Yong's solemnity, Cai Yan nodded subconsciously, and then Cai Yong said slowly, "Yan'er, my father told you that the reason why Prince Situ wanted to kill his father was because there was only Wei father in this world. Knowing that the mastermind of Wu Fu's assassination of Dong was Wang Yun, and Wang Yun diverted the trouble to the east in order to conceal the matter, making Dong Zhuo think that the mastermind of Wu Fu's assassination was Master Zhang Wenzhang!"

"What?!" Cai Yan was so startled that she even opened her mouth. Although she didn't know the secrets of the court, after Dong Zhuo's death, news and anecdotes about Dong Yishi's murder had already been spread in the Chang'an market. Even though Cai Yan I don't want to know, but I've heard a lot.Unexpectedly, it was only at this moment that I learned that the loyal and capable minister Situ Wangyun, who was praised by the people, turned out to be a villain who betrayed his colleagues.

"Father, what's going on here? Didn't it mean that you just sighed in the court hall, why did you get involved in such political strife?"

"Hey... Speaking of this matter, apart from Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, I should have a share of the credit." Cai Yong sighed for the third time at this time, and then there was a lot of exposure and judgment on the secrets of the court. .It took a long time for a stick of incense before Cai Yong turned to the topic and said:

"After Wu Fu's death, Xun Gongda and He Boqiu were imprisoned, and Zheng Gongye escaped to Wuguan, but Dong Zhuo was quite dissatisfied with this. Because Dong Zhuo knew that these officials were soft-spoken and could not be the mastermind of the assassination. Therefore, that For a while, people in the court were panicked and overcast, but on the third night after that incident, a man suddenly appeared in my residence, holding in his hand the letter that later Dong Zhuo killed Mr. Zhang on the pretext of killing Mr. Zhang. secret letter!"

"Ah?" Cai Yan couldn't answer at all at this time, and could only express her surprise with simple modal particles.

"At that time, I knew the whole story. Because of the identity of that person, he was not only a member of Situ's mansion, but also a disciple I had accepted before. Wang Yun asked him to throw the secret letter into Lu Bu's mansion, borrowing This is to frame Zhang Wen in order to get the golden cicada out of its shell, but my disciple is not ashamed of Wang Yun's actions, so he took the secret letter and came to discuss with me, hoping to come up with a perfect plan."

"Father, what did you do afterwards?" Although Cai Yan already knew the final result, she couldn't imagine that there would be such a secret and tortuous process, so she couldn't help but interjected to ask.

"I, what else can I do? How can there be any perfect plan in this world?" Cai Yong showed a look of extreme pain when he said this, and then he raised his trembling hands and covered his face with a wide sleeve robe. Sad, he opened his mouth and said: "At the right time, Dong Zhuo's assassination caused blood to flow in Chang'an. Although I could confess Wang Yun, but after thinking about it, I knew that I must help that ruthless Wang Yun."

"why?"

"Because only people like Wang Yun can kill Dong Zhuo!" Cai Yong suddenly put down his right hand, this time, his face was full of complex expressions of remorse and determination: "Mr. But there are too many people like the imperial court, and they are powerless against Dong Zhuo's misconduct. Although Wang Yun is black-bellied and poisonous, it is a person like him who can end the crimes brought by Dong Zhuo!"

"So you?..."

"That's why I killed my disciple with my own hands, and then I threw the secret letter into Lu Bu's residence with my own hands!"

This is really shocking!

Even Liu Xie, who had been eavesdropping secretly outside the prison door, couldn't help but marvel.But then, he walked up to Cai Yong again, couldn't help but clapped his hands, and said in a voice that seemed to be like solid iron: "So that's it! No wonder Wang Yun is determined to kill you, Because only when you die can this secret be buried forever."

"Your Majesty, you?..." Cai Yong didn't expect that Liu Xie didn't leave at all, but after hearing Liu Xie's tone, he froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Cai Yan was still immersed in such treacherous stories, she asked a little puzzled: "Since Wang Yun is going to kill his father, he must have known about it. But why he didn't do it before, and now he wants to settle the score after Qiuhou?"

"Because at that time, there was that devil Dong Zhuo who was keeping him under control!" Liu Xie uttered these words heavily, his tone full of disdain and anger: "If he did something at that time, Dong Zhuo would be vigilant and angry. But now, Dong Zhuo Once he dies, only a young emperor will hold the court, and he, Wang Yun, has no more scruples, so he dares to act recklessly like this!"

"Your Majesty, you?..." This time, hearing Liu Xie's cold tone, Cai Yan also sensed a trace of uneasiness. She cautiously asked Liu Xie in a low voice: "You don't mean to think..."

Liu Xie glanced at Cai Yan with satisfaction, as if she really regretted that she was not a man.Then I calmed down for a while, and then said: "Miss Zhaoji is right. I have always been a person who is not utilitarian. I am a cunning rabbit and a lackey. Since Wang Yun has completed his mission, now it is time for Zhaoji It's time for Miss to see how cool I am!" After that, Liu Xie suddenly turned his head and asked Cai Yong in a cold voice: "Do you have the original copy of that secret letter? Or, can you prove that the secret letter is The letter was written by Wang Yun?"

"No, I can't..." Cai Yong was intimidated by Liu Xie's aura for a moment, so he could only tell the truth.

"Then you can die in peace!" Liu Xie said, flicking his sleeve robe.

This time, he really walked out of the prison without looking back.In an instant, the Cai family's father and daughter in the prison were completely icy cold.
