Chapter 31: Trip to Lu County

 Yuzhou. Lu County.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at the city wall of Lu County, where Lu State was governed, Tao Ying began to feel a little uneasy.

"I wonder if this nerd Chen Yi is as stubborn as his father!"

Although this time he forced Yang Xi to serve as the magistrate of Bian County, indirectly used Yang Xu, the prefect of Nanyang, and dragged Cai Yong out to embolden his courage, Tao Ying still had no idea.

"Brother is most afraid of people who won't let you go, who will force you to retreat, and who won't take the hard way!"

If Chen Yi is an "unreasonable" person, Tao Ying will be prepared to attack Huang Wan from Yuzhou.

"Tao Er, you are not even a bit braver than your father, Tao Gongzu. I used to think you were a loser, but I didn't expect you to be a troublemaker seeking death."

Cai Yong, who was tricked by Tao Ying all the way to Lu County, also scolded Tao Ying all the way.

"Not to mention that you are just the governor of a county, even if your father is the governor, a word in the court can make him go back to his hometown in Danyang to farm. Do you think you are full enough?"

When Tao Yingqiang merged with Bian County, Cai Yong couldn't figure it out. For a prefect, there is no real difference between having one more county and one less county.

"Mr. Bozhe, you are a great scholar. I have told you several times. Please call me Tao Taishou, Tao Chongguang, or Tao Ying. Don't call me 'Tao Laoer' again. I don't like this title!"

Tao Ying was very depressed. Ever since he called Yang Di "Yang Lao Er", Cai Yong called him "Tao Lao Er".

"If I don't call you Tao Laoer, do you want me to call you Tao Laoer, the potter?"

Although he didn't know why Tao Ying didn't like this title, Cai Yong felt very relieved when he saw Tao Ying's constipated face.

"Father-in-law, the term 'second child' can only be used by my wife in the boudoir. Please stop calling me that, otherwise you will make a joke."

When thinking of Cai Yan, Tao Ying was both happy and regretful.

"Hey, boy, don't bother with Wen Ji anymore. She has already been promised to the Wei family in Hedong."

When Cai Yan turns fifteen years later, he will marry to Hedong. Cai Yong, who has no son, feels that he has really become a "lonely man". His expression instantly becomes lonely, and he no longer even has the interest to scold Tao Ying.

"Mr. Bozhe, I have to say that you have a very different vision when it comes to choosing Wenji's son-in-law."

Cai Yong didn't want to talk, but Tao Ying, the "magic stick", became interested.

"The second son of Hedong Wei is a sick man himself. Based on my calculations, he won't survive until the end of next year. Even if you marry Wen Ji, not only will you not be happy, but you will also be known as a scheming husband."

Wei Zhongdao of Hedong Province was the second brother of Wei Boru, the king of Wei Dynasty. According to the historical trajectory, not long after the death of Emperor Ling, he also died of illness. Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Cai Yong was ordered to return to the capital, and Cai Yan also returned to her natal family.<

"Boy, you have to be kind. If you don't get it, then you curse others. This is not what a gentleman does."

Cai Yong glared at Tao Ying angrily, wasn't he cursing his daughter to become a widow?

"Hey, don't say that he is a Wei Laoer who is not on the stage. From the emperor to the princes and nobles, I can clearly determine their life and death."

Tao Ying didn't take Cai Yong's unhappiness to heart at all. Anyway, he was telling the truth and felt at ease.

"I'll tell you one more thing, but don't spread it."

"Today, on a whim, I took a look at the Yang family's five-element fortune. Within half a year, their family is in danger of overturning."

The "Xuanyu Prefect" Yang Xu will go to the Paradise of Paradise next year ahead of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Tao Ying reminded Cai Yong that it is best to be grateful for the grace of the Yang family for twelve years.

"Are you serious?"

Sure enough, Cai Yong heard the meaning of Tao Ying's words.

"Let's put it this way, Mr. Bozhe, from the moment we met, everything I said to you has been true."

Tao Ying looked at Cai Yong seriously and nodded slowly.

"Including funding for me to edit "History of Han Dynasty"?"

Cai Yong was very concerned about Yang Xu's life and death, and Tao Ying was even more concerned about his promise to compile "History of the Han Dynasty".

"It also includes being your son-in-law."

Tao Ying added a sentence for Cai Yong.

Cai Yong, who stared closely at Tao Ying's eyes, slowly withdrew his gaze, turned his head, closed his eyes and meditated, and stopped talking.

"There's a show!"

————

Prime Minister's Mansion.

After being scolded and reprimanded for a long time by Chen Yi, the Prime Minister of Lu, and Kong Rong, a great writer who was sick at home, Tao Ying was still smiling.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

"There is no way. On other people's territory, the dragon has to be coiled and the tiger has to lie down."

Moreover, with the big boss Kong Rong by his side, even if Tao Ying had a temper, he would not dare to make any mistakes.

Otherwise, Tao Qian would not be able to pass that test, not to mention that behind Kong Rong there are a bunch of supporters who are waving flags and shouting, and they can kill Tao Ying with their words and writings.

Although Kong Rong is only in his mid-thirties this year, with his talent and learning, he still has a saint ancestor, no matter how young he is, he is still a big shot.

"Even the powerful general He Tufu doesn't dare to mess with someone, so I have to give him more face!"

Besides, Tao Ying was already in the wrong, had a rule of thumb, was brazen to the world, and came here to seek compromise, so he had no choice but to be humble and submissive.

"However, this is the last time I will humble myself!"

Tao Ying silently looked at Kong Rong, Chen Yi and Cai Yong, who had never spoken a word, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Tao Chongguang, if there is no imperial order on this matter, neither you nor I will count!"

Seeing that Tao Ying looked like a scoundrel who was not afraid of boiling water, Chen Yi no longer wanted to argue with him any more.

"Prime Minister Chen, you are right. You really need the approval of the imperial court to do anything."

Tao Ying nodded. He did not deny what Chen Yi said, and it was indeed the case.

"But, this is also my expedient measure."

Of course Tao Ying would not compromise. If the time was not ripe, not to mention the small Bian County, even a county in the state of Lu, would be Tao Ying's Chinese meal and the meat in the pot.

"Now that the Yellow Turbans are resurrecting everywhere, Bian County is temporarily entrusted to Taishan County. It is also for the good of the court, for the good of Yuzhou, for the good of the Lu State, and even better for the good of Chen Xiang."

Tao Ying's rhetoric can only lie to himself in front of old foxes like Kong Rong, Cai Yong, and Chen Yi.

"Tao Chongguang, even if you annex the entire Lu State to Taishan County, I will not have any objection, because this Lu State does not belong to me, Chen Yi."

Since the conspiracy with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, was revealed and Wang Fen committed suicide, Chen Yi has become disheartened.

"But I want to remind you that Yuzhou Shepherd Huang Ziyan is a person who can't get sand out of his eyes. You have to think about how to explain to him."

Chen Yi's father, Chen Fan, had a close relationship with Huang Wan, so Chen Yi naturally knew Huang Wan's character very well.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for reminding me."

"I forgot to tell Mr. Chen that the current magistrate of Bian County is Yang Di, the son of Yang Xu, the prefect of Xuanyu Qingyu."

As Tao Ying spoke, he glanced at Kong Rong, who was staring at him blankly.

"Master Kong, I heard that this Yang Di is still your virtuous son-in-law?"

Tao Ying turned his attention to Cai Yong again, and Cai Yong was looking at him helplessly.

"Xiang Chen, this Yang Xi is still Cai Yilang's son-in-law."

Chen Yi, who was already lacking in interest, understood what Tao Ying meant and was even more reluctant to speak any more.

"Haha, he is so cunning. He not only roped in Yang Xu, the Nanyang governor who is famous in all nine provinces, as a shield, but also roped in two great scholars to clear his name. I wonder if the court would really believe Tao Laoer's excuse!"

Chen Yi looked at Tao Ying again, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense. Kong Rong wouldn't dare to give Tao Zhongguang the job as your teacher!"

Being plotted by Tao Ying, with a hint of coercion, Kong Rong was filled with anger.

"With what you, Tao Chongguang, have done, you can call me Kong Wenju or Kong Rong!"

Tao Ying's reputation was already poor, but what he did today made Kong Rong even more disappointed.

In Kong Rong's eyes, Tao Ying did not have the righteousness of a county guard, which was an embarrassment to Tao Qian, who was known as a "benevolent gentleman". He looked more like a shrewd businessman.

"Oh, are you angry?"

"Huh, in front of the younger generations, there is no half a city."

"You have such a bad temper. You are not even half as gentle, kind, humble, courteous, and respectful as our ancestors. No wonder you were killed by Cao Ah Man!"

Tao Ying secretly cursed. He also wanted to call him "Kong Beihai", but that will happen in the next year.

There were four people in the room, and except for himself, three of them did not want to see him. Tao Ying shook his head helplessly.
