Just as He Bai led the eight people including Diao Chan, Luo Pei, Han Rong, Yexun to the slave market in Luoyang to select slaves, the ox cart that Cai Yong was riding finally arrived at the General's Mansion on the side of the palace. General He Jin was meeting guests in the mansion. When he heard that Cai Yong was coming, he was overjoyed and led the guests from the General's Mansion to welcome Cai Yong.

Cai Yong looked up and saw that in addition to He Jin, most of the ministers and scholars in Luoyang City were famous ministers and scholars, such as Lu Zhi, Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Zheng Tai, He Yong, Zhang Jin, Cao Cao, Xun You, Feng Ji, Chen Lin, etc., and there were 70 or 80 famous scholars in Linlin. Cai Yong was surprised and happy when he saw it. He didn't know that today was a great day, and so many ministers and scholars came to greet him. It was really touching, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.

After the crowds greeted each other, they strongly invited Cai Yong to the mansion to discuss. Cai Yong then remembered his purpose today. So he turned to visit General He Jin and bowed and said, "The day before yesterday, a general envoy was recruited as an official, but he was already old next year. Recently, he felt that his body was declining and his energy was difficult to provide. Therefore, today he came to thank the general for his kindness for his conscript. Please forgive me for not being able to respond. I hope the general will be forgiven."

He Jin looked at Cai Yong, who was black and thin and weak in front of him, and knew that this was the truth, not Cai Yong refused to call him to invite him, so he sighed: "Mr. Bo Qi is very wise and loyal, loyal and loyal. I cannot get the help of Mr. He Suigao. I also ask him to stay in Luoyang for a longer time so that I can ask for advice from him."

Cai Yong bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Cai Yong dared not obey orders."

He Jin laughed again and said, "A moment ago, we are all talking about a memorial, and everyone has already agreed and discussed it. I have always known that Mr. Bo Yi is knowledgeable and talented, and has a wide range of knowledge. Since it happens to come, you might as well come to the palace to discuss it."

"Commitment?!!!" Cai Yong's heart moved, all of them... Cai Yong immediately followed the order and followed He Jin and ministers and scholars to the General's Mansion. After entering the mansion, everyone did not rank as official titles, but only ranked by talent and reputation. With Cai Yong's talent and reputation, they should be ranked against the great scholar Lu Zhi, and compared with Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Zheng Tai and others, sitting on both sides of He Jin, one left and one right.

He Jin bowed and asked, "Mr. Bo Ji, there are "Hundred Disasters and Comments" written by the counselor He Bai and He Tianming in the market for these two days. There are a total of hundreds of methods to treat harm, with tens of thousands of words. I wonder if Mr. Bo Ji has heard of anything?"

Cai Yong nodded and said, "I have heard a little about it. It is mainly about epidemic prevention, drought resistance, flood discharge, locust control, pre-quake prevention, building charity warehouses and resettlement of refugees, and alleviating eight real estate mergers."

He Jin sighed: "It is quite insightful to resettle refugees and alleviate the annexes, but the soldiers are in danger and are not the ones that gentlemen like. In addition, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he spent countless money to attack the Huns, but he earned very little, which caused the four realms of the country to go from a hundred years of prosperity to poverty and withering. It can be seen that the warriors will perish, and the ancients did not deceive me. The proposal to build a Yi Cang is now in full swing, and the four realms of the Han Dynasty are in short supply, and there is no spare money to build a Yi Cang. Although this proposal is good, it is not realistic. As for the other few..."

He Jin shook his head and said, "In the first year of Guanghe, Mr. Bo Yi reported to Your Majesty that the cause of disasters and changes across the country was that women and eunuchs interfered in political affairs. The Grand Marshal Zhang Hao, Guanglu Xunweizhang, Changshui School Chief Zhao Xuan, Tunqi School Chief Gai Sheng and others corrupted and abused the law. If according to He Tianming's memorial, disasters and diseases can be prevented and controlled, and they have nothing to do with the virtues of the emperor and the court officials, then, wouldn't we believing the emperor and the superiors..."

There was a thunderclap in Cai Yong's mind, and He Jin could not hear a word clearly afterwards. Yesterday, Cai Yong asked He Bai to go to the old Cai mansion to tell the story, just to understand the specific details of what He Bai said in his memorial. He had an attitude of learning the unknown, but he never thought that there was such a deep and malicious interpretation in that simple memorial.

He Bai did it intentionally? No, Cai Yong asked himself that he was not bad at seeing people. Although He Bai was a little scheming, he was generally open-minded and a good official who was loyal and righteous to the country and the people. At the beginning of his memorial, He Bai might not have thought about the serious consequences of this memorial. Maybe he simply wanted to pass on the various disaster prevention measures summarized by his ancestors to the world so that the world would no longer suffer from disasters.

Yes, these methods have been summarized long ago, but they have never been spread throughout the world. It was not because of the inaction of the ancestors of He, but they must have been obstructed by the Confucian scholars in various states and counties. Instead, they believed that they were evil words and disasters, just like Zhang Jiao of Taipingdao. No wonder He Bai would have been able to get these methods affirmed by the whole world by taking office and submitting to the court.

Cai Yong's thin old face was long and frowned, and he had a lot of thoughts. It was not until He Jin repeatedly asked, Zheng Tai on the side pulled Cai Yong's sleeve, and Cai Yong woke up. Seeing that everyone looked at him, he hurriedly bowed his hand and apologized, saying, "After hearing this memorial, I felt that my heart was in a mess, which was contrary to what I had learned throughout my life. I wonder how the great masters thought?"

He Jin tapped his forehead, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Since yesterday, all the famous scholars and great masters gathered in our office to discuss. Everyone has their own opinions and has discussed them. Today, there are three views, and we are about to ask Mr. Bo Ji to discuss with him or put forward different views."

Cai Yong bowed and said, "I hope to hear the details."

He Jin said: "Using the views of Confucius Wenju, Zheng Gongye, Zhang Ziyun, Chen Kongzhang and others, He Tianming slandered the will of heaven and slandered the Confucian clan, and was a traitorous villain who was a traitor. You should report to Your Majesty to kill him quickly to correct the world's eyes and hearing. With Yuan Benchu ​​and He Boqiu, Feng Yuantu's views, no matter whether this commentary is true or false, you must exile him to the border for the crime of lying about the will of heaven. When the traitors in the court are gone, you will discuss the authenticity of He Tianming's commentary. With the views of Lu Zigan, Cao Mengde, Xun Gongda and others, you should summon He Tianming to the General's Office to ask for advice. If you ask for the correct answer, you should support He Tianming's commentary, so that it can spread it to the world, so that the Han Dynasty will suffer less disasters and disasters in the future."

Cai Yong asked, "I don't know which of these three views are the most?"

He Jin said: "Of course, Kong Wenju and others have more opinions, almost more than half. Yuan Benchu ​​and others have about thirty views, while Lu Zigan and others have less than ten views."

Cai Yongshen was silent for a long time, but after thinking about it, he had no way to get rid of He Bai. He had been wandering around the world for twelve years, and his reputation in Luoyang City was all obtained in his early years. Now he was probably surpassed by Confucius, Zheng Gongye, Zhang Ziyun, Chen Kongzhang, Yuan Benchu, He Boqiu, Feng Yuantu and others. Moreover, he had little to do with He Jin, so it was difficult to affect He Jin. He Jin asked about his own opinions, but he was more likely to act casually after making a good decision. It seems that He Bai could solve this matter himself.

Cai Yong bowed and advised: "I'll invite the general to change his clothes."

He Jin was stunned. Cai Yong asked him to change his clothes himself? This is another different view, but he could not say it in the public court, but he asked himself to change his clothes privately. He Jin has always been respectful to the wise and the nobles, and people like Cai Yong who are famous all over the world naturally have to respect him. Although the resolution in his heart has been made, it is okay to listen to different views after hearing them.

He Jin then bowed his guilt with a smile, stood up and left behind. Cai Yong also stood up and bowed to everyone to confess his crimes, and followed He Jin. When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but start talking about it. How could Cai Yong be so strange? He couldn't say what he had on the spot, but he had to say it intimately with He Jin. After all, everyone respected Cai Yong as a famous scholar and was always his own character. Otherwise, they would have suspected that he was a villain who liked to discuss privately behind his back.

Cai Yong quickly caught up with He Jin in the side room and bowed and asked, "I wonder if the general has made a decision?"

He Jin nodded and sighed, "As the general of the country, I naturally hope that He Tianming's remarks are true. However, there are a large number of evil people in the court to control the government. Although I am the general, I am often constrained by it. Naturally, I want to temporarily suppress the matter with the opinions of Yuan Benchu ​​and others. However, Kong Wenju and others were afraid that He Tianming's remarks would shake the status of Confucianism in the hearts of the world, so I force myself to punish He Tianming quickly to be respectful and effective. Even the three dukes and the officials in the court had the intention to kill He Tianming, so I had to make a decision."

Cai Yong couldn't help but be alert, and did not want Confucianism to compete with hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. Confucianism, which had been respected for Confucianism for only a few hundred years, reached such an inconvenient level. Is this the goodness of Confucianism? What is the goodness of scholars in the world?

Cai Yong said, "General, in fact, last night, I was willing to invite He Tianming to the humble residence to talk. Through several hours of Q&A, I was impressed by He Tianming's talent. His talent is vast, although he is astronomy, mountains, rivers, geography, humanities and history, animals, plants and biology, mineral craftsmanship, military calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. Although he is profound, his words must be in the middle of the earth, which makes people think about it, and there are no false words. Please also ask the general to investigate it carefully."

He Jin couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "There is still a great talent in the world that can impress Mr. Bo Ji?"

"Yes." Cai Yong said affirmatively: "He is just not aware of Confucianism, but only a little bit about Huang-Lao's art. The knowledge he knows almost covers the essence of the pre-Qin school, and has integrated it into his own unique academic theory. He is still young and may not be unable to become a sage like the pre-Qin school."

He Jin was stunned for a long time, and finally said, "But I am also a child of Confucian scholars. How can I... Besides, everyone's feelings are difficult. If I protect him, wouldn't I lose my heart..."

Cai Yong sighed inwardly and said, "I once asked He Tianming's family background. He Tianming said that the He family originated from His Majesty Xuanyuan and was the descendant of Ji Wanshu. Thirty-one generations of distant ancestors were Han Wuzi, the son of Quwo Shu Huan, and fifty-two generations of recent ancestors were He Shigong Nanyang. By then, it had been passed down for seventy generations. He even said that he had the same clan as the general, but he abandoned his family in the wilderness when his great-grandfather was devoted to practicing Taoism. Later, he lived in the wilderness of Linglingying Road, and had been passed down for three generations, so he called himself the Taoist clan of Linglingying. I wonder if there are such figures among the people of the same clan of the General?"

He Jin was shocked when he heard this and asked in surprise: "Then He Tianming is still a child of my clan? I am the 17th generation descendant of He Shigong in Nanyang, and He Tianming is the 18th generation. So he is not my nephew?"

Cai Yong bowed and said, "He Tianming's original intention was not to climb onto the dragon and the phoenix, so he never recognized the general. But today's affairs have endangered his life, and I have to tell him against him. Yes or no, I hope the general will investigate the clan affairs in detail."

Since He Jin saw He Bai's memorial in the court the day before yesterday, he ordered people to examine He Bai's resume in detail. He Bai Yu You and most of the things he did in the three states of Ji were a famous general who had just risen. At this time, he knew his talent and could actually impress the great scholar Cai Yong, and he also learned that he was a descendant of the He clan of Nanyang. He was shocked and happy, as the leader of the He clan of Nanyang.

Cai Yong saw that He Jin was already in shock and joy, so he bowed his hands and said with a walk. When he returned to the lobby, he did not talk to everyone. He just bowed and laughed, and then strode towards the outsider.

"Mr. Bo Ji, what are you and the general sayings? Why do you hide it from us? Why do you need to blame others when a gentleman discusses politics?" Kong Rong asked loudly.

Although someone shouted loudly afterwards, Cai Yong just turned a deaf ear. Kong Rong was very upset, but he was afraid that what Cai Yong and He Jin said would make He Jin change his already decided idea, so he stood up and strode after him.
