Chen Lang laughed: "Master Dong is drunk, why aren't you bringing him to the officials' office to rest?" Everyone carried the drunk Dong Min and left. An official from Chen Lang's side led them to the official's office.
Gan Ning glanced at Dong Min's back and could not help but say, "Fuck! I want to kill him! "
Chen Lang said: "We'll talk about it when we get back." The group of people returned to the Great General's Estate.
Gan Ning could not help but shout: "That bastard actually dares to display his authority in front of us!" Guan Yu said: "That Dong Zhuo is a butcher of the countryside, his brothers are naturally not that great either!"
Gan Ning pleaded with Chen Lang: "wolf brother, it's really depressing to watch this scene with this fellow. Why don't we just kill him!"
Guan Yu said snappily: "Wouldn't doing something so impulsive ruin Big Brother's plans!" Gan Ning was gloomy.
Chen Lang said: "We cannot go against Dong Zhuo now, or else we will be surrounded by enemies. We also need to make use of Dong Zhuo. " Gan Ning gloomily asked: If that Dong Min dares to bully us, are we going to endure too?
Chen Lang said resolutely, "Of course I have to endure." Then, he laughed: "That Dong Min can't even play any tricks, after all, the army is in our hands." Everyone felt that Chen Lang's words made sense and could not help but nod their heads. Chen Lang said: "You don't have to trouble yourselves on Dong Min's behalf, I will handle him, you just have to do what I tell you to you." The crowd clasped their fists in response.
An officer ran in and reported, "General, Student Cai Yong requests to see you."
Chen Lang said to the rest of them, "You may go." Everyone saluted Chen Lang and went out. Chen Lang said to the officer: "Please come in Great Scholar Cai." The officer responded and ran down, after a moment, he led Cai Yong who was dressed in casual clothes in. This Cai Yong, was not young anymore, but his temperament was extraordinary, and between his brows, he still revealed a bit of elegance.
Chen Lang went up to welcome him, cupped his fists and laughed: "How did Student Cai get the time to come to my place?" Cai Yong smiled and returned the gesture: "If there is nothing else, I am here to disturb the great general. I hope the great general will not take offense!" Not at all! Monk Cai was an esteemed guest that could not even be invited! Sit down! " Cai Yong thanked him and sat down on the guest seat. Chen Lang then walked to the opposite side of Cai Yong and sat down, ordering people to serve tea.
Cai Yong stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Lang, then said with endless gratitude: "If not for the Great General helping us, my daughter and I would have been struck by the Huns already!" Chen Lang laughed: "No need to be a great warrior, this is just part of my job."
Cai Yong sat back to his seat and sighed: "I have seen countless generals, but I have never seen such a loyal general in my life! The general was definitely a true hero! I am afraid that the General's loyalty to Dong Zhuo is not from the bottom of his heart.
Just then, two guards brought Cai Yong and Chen Lang tea, and left.
Chen Lang laughed, "A university scholar must be joking. Grand Tutor Dong is so powerful that he can shake the entire Hua Xia. How can I not be sincere when I submit to him?" Cai Yong was greatly surprised. "Grand Preceptor Dong's might is not bad, but, but …" Chen Lang could not help but feel that although Cai Yong was very smart, he was also very childish. Picking up the teacup, he smiled and said, "Don't talk about this kind of thing anymore, Monseigneur. Would you like a taste of my tea? " Cai Yong let out an "oh", took a sip of the tea, and put it down, saying: "Actually, I have another reason for coming this time."
Chen Lang replied: "You can speak your mind, Great Scholar."
Cai Yong sighed, and said depressingly: "Actually, I don't want to talk about these things. But I was forced to do so. "
Chen Lang laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about that, University Scholar, just say what you want to say."
Cai Yong nodded and said, "It's like this. "During this period of time, many rich and powerful students have come to me to discuss some matters. They hope that I can come forward to talk about the Imperial Examinations with the great general …"
Chen Lang understood, so he raised his hand to stop Cai Yong from speaking, and said: "You don't need to say anymore, University Scholar, I understand. It must be the Confucian scholars who asked the university to persuade me to make fun of the Imperial Examinations. It was impossible. Master, you are a wise man. You should know that all living beings are born equal. Since everyone was born in this world, where did the difference between high and low come from? Why can only the Scholars's Wealthy Class be an official? Is that right? " Cai Yong had never thought of it like that, and had only casually assumed that only the Wealthy Class in the Scholars could be an official. However, after hearing what Chen Lang said, he couldn't help but feel that what Chen Lang said made sense, as if there shouldn't be any difference between high and low. In an instant, Cai Yong didn't know what to say.
Cai Yan sat at the window of the pavilion in a daze. Even though she was still here, her soul had already flown away.
When the servant girl next to her saw that the little miss didn't seem to belong to any of her spirits, she pursed her lips into a smile and teased, "Since the little miss misses me, why don't you go with the old master?"
Cai Yan came back to reality as her beautiful face flushed red. "What nonsense are you spouting? Who do I miss? " The little servant girl said, "Could it be that Miss isn't thinking of the hero that saved the beauty?" Cai Yan was greatly embarrassed, she grabbed hold of the little servant girl and shouted angrily: "Little girl, stop speaking nonsense! "See if I don't rip your mouth off!" The servant girl hurriedly begged for mercy, and immediately cried out: "Huh? Master is back! The old master is back! " Cai Yan let go of the servant girl and looked out of the pavilion. Sure enough, she felt nervous when she saw her father walking in.
Cai Yong walked up the pavilion and sat down. Cai Yan asked the servant girl to make some tea and sat opposite of his father. He could not help but ask: "Did father see him?"
Cai Yong nodded his head, he still carried on frowning.
Seeing his father like this, Cai Yan could not help but worry, and carefully asked: "Father, you, him, and him, could it be that you are quarrelling?"
Cai Yong shook his head, sighed, and said: "Why would I quarrel with the Great General? However, the general's speech was truly inspiring! Your father suddenly realized that all of the poetry books that I've read for the past few years were worthless! " Cai Yan had never seen his father in such a state and could not help but ask curiously, "Why does father say that? What did the Great General say? " Cai Yong let out a long sigh. Cai Yan thought about his father's goal for coming here, and could not help but ask: "Has the general agreed to abolish the Imperial Examinations?" Cai Yong said angrily: "The world belongs to the people of this world, how can those Confucian Scholars decide?!" Cai Yan felt that her father seemed to have changed.
The Luoyang Exam was not affected at all, and with Chen Lang's help, it went smoothly. Most of those who passed the test were Humble Class students, and most of them were not of the Confucian school. After that, the students that passed the exam were sent to work in Luoyang and the other officials around the area by Chen Lang. Confucian Scholar saw all of this and hated it in her heart.
Dong Min came to the Luoyang for a few days before he finally came to the yamen's director. At this time, he finally heard about Chen Lang holding examinations and arranging for those who had passed to be brought under his command. Dong Min felt that Chen Lang had stirred his own cheese, and immediately became angry, and wanted to abolish all the people that Chen Lang had picked. However, the aide standing beside him anxiously replied, "Please do not be impatient, Master! This matter cannot be rushed, and should be considered over the top! " Dong Min stared at him and bellowed: He Chen Lang dares to offend me, am I supposed to swallow my anger?
The aide hurriedly said, "Not to swallow your anger, but to think things over carefully. Master, who is that Chen Lang? It was a ruthless character who had defeated the eighteen dukes and defeated the Huns! They were all elite soldiers and generals! This kind of person is like a fierce tiger. It was only then that Dong Min remembered what Chen Lang had done in this period of time.
The aide said, "To deal with this kind of person, we have to first remove his wings before we can slowly take care of him! No matter how fierce a tiger is, once its claws and fangs are pulled out, it would be no different from a cat. "
Dong Min frowned: You are right, but how do I get rid of his claws?
The aide laughed: "The reason why Chen Lang is so terrifying is mainly because of the powerful generals under his command! As long as we bribe all of his generals, then would Chen Lang still be able to keep up? " Dong Min understood and laughed out loud, praising: "Good good good! This was a very good plan! At that time, Chen Lang will still not kneel in front of me and beg for forgiveness! I will leave this matter to you. You go and tell those generals, that as long as they follow me and rise to rank 3, I will not be stingy with my gold, silver, and extravagant treasures! " Yes, this subordinate understands. "
Dong Min returned to his residence, and just as he sat down, a guard came over to report: "Reporting to my Lord, the patriarchs of the Luoyang's Li Clan, Dong Clan, Zhang Clan, and Chen Clan's four Wealthy Class families have come to request an audience!" Dong Min was extremely surprised, and muttered: "These Wealthy Class Scholars families have long hated us to death, why would they take the initiative to visit me?" He thought that he could use this opportunity to extort some money and was excited. He quickly said to the guard: "Of course!" The guard replied and ran down the stairs. A moment later, the heads of the four Wealthy Class families came in and bowed together, "This lowly one pays his respects to the lord!" Dong Min only nodded slightly.
The Dong Clan Head took out a gift form and bowed as he said, "This is a small token of our affection for you. Please accept it!"
Dong Min was extremely happy, and thought to himself: 'These people know the rules quite well!' Then, he gave a look to a concubine beside him, who immediately went down to receive the gift slip before returning it to Dong Min. Dong Min took the gift slip, opened it and looked, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Putting away the gift list, he laughed: "You are all being too polite! Since this is what everyone is thinking, I will gladly accept it! "Please do not stand, gentlemen. Please sit!" The four of them thanked him and sat down on the left and right sides of the table.
