Chapter 31: An Invitation to the Palace


Unknowingly, Liu Qi had been in Luoyang for several months and entered the sixth year of Zhongping.

The city of Luoyang has not changed much.

The government and the public are still very stable.

The eunuchs and the noble officials are fighting for their wits and courage.

However, outside the land of Sili, there are many disasters, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are running around doing evil.

The memorials submitted from various places were hidden by the eunuchs, reporting good news but not bad news.

Neither party cared about the life and death of the common people outside, and both regarded the other party as the top target for eradication.

Cai Fuzhong As always, Liu Qi came to play chess with Cai Yong and listened to Cai Yan playing the piano.

In the past few months, he had done nothing.

Apart from running around in Cai's house, he was invited by Cao Cao and others to go out for fun.

People thought that he came to Luoyang to propose marriage, but other than that, there was nothing else.

"Qi'er, your chess skills are getting better and better.

You're not much different from me."

Cai Yong took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"It's just my father-in-law who taught me well," Liu Qi said modestly.

Cai Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "No need to compliment me, this is just your own talent, but you should have received an invitation from the palace, right?"

"Indeed, a palace eunuch came to my residence last night and sent an invitation to me to attend the palace banquet.

I don't know what they thought, but they actually invited me," Liu Qi said.

As for Cai Yong, he was also among those invited.

At that time, he happened to be in the Cai Mansion and saw the young eunuch who came to deliver the invitation.

He did not find it strange to invite Cai Yong.

Although Cai Yong did not have an official position now, But Cai Yong is a famous scholar, so it is normal to receive an invitation.

And he was a person with nothing.

Apart from earning a little fame when he competed with the Wei family, the rest of the time he was just like a person who was just eating and drinking and waiting to die.

He was still able to receive invitations, which made him a little confused. .

"You are wrong.

Don't forget that you are the eldest son of Governor Liu.

After being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, this status is enough.

Not to mention your talents, which have been praised by Ziqian and others.

"Cai Yong said.

Liu Qi curled his lips, disapprovingly.

If it weren't for this identity, he would have started taking action early, instead of waiting all the time for the disintegration of the Han Dynasty.

Having an identity is a good thing, but it is also a shackles.

"There are troubles outside, and they are still interested in holding a banquet in the palace.

This is ironic," Liu Qi said, changing the subject.

"Qi'er, be careful and say that there are some things that you and I can't talk about."

Cai Yong sighed and said, "If the eunuchs are not eliminated, the world will not be peaceful."

Hear the words.

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law, I don't agree with this statement."

"Oh" Cai Yong looked at Liu Qi doubtfully.

"The eunuchs made mistakes, and the officials in the court also made mistakes.

The eunuchs brought trouble to the court, but the root cause is closely related to His Majesty's favor and the noble officials who wanted to kill the eunuchs; and the officials in the court except Some officials who care about the Han Dynasty, most of them They are all fighting for power and have always wanted to get rid of the eunuchs who are weighing on them.

They only care about their own interests and have never cared about the lives and lives of ordinary people.

There are also some who wander between the two groups for their own safety.

There is no way to escape the word "profit".

"It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune.

The most fundamental reason is that His Majesty is ignorant and incompetent.

He cannot listen to honest advice and the court officials do nothing to protect each other."

Liu Qi said leisurely.

"You boy, it's a good thing that there are only three of us here.

Otherwise, if word spreads, even if you are a member of the Han clan, you will inevitably end up on the guillotine."

Cai Yong was also shocked by Liu Qi's words, but he also knew in his heart that what Liu Qi said was true.

This is also the current situation of the court.

Otherwise, he would not have been on the run for twelve years.

Now that he has restored his identity, he has not entered the court again.

Official reasons.

"Haha, I know that my father-in-law understands the truth, so I dare to say something.

I don't dare to say that when I go out."

Liu Qi shook his head.

He didn't feel that he was impatient and seeking some stimulation.

At least he had to go out to publicize these things.

This is not the right time to promote.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Cai Yong didn't want to talk about this topic any more, and he would make mistakes if he said too much, "Qi'er is preparing to attend the banquet."

"Of course, since I have been invited, I have to go there anyway.

I don't want to be wrong about it.

What's more, I have never entered the palace.

If I have this opportunity, I should go and pay homage," Liu Qi said with a smile.

Cai Yong nodded.

No matter what, it was an invitation from the palace.

Whoever dared not to go would not be able to resist the accusation of disrespect.

"In this case, I will pick up Yan'er tomorrow and let Yan'er accompany you to the palace.

Then Uncle Fu can take me to the palace alone."

Cai Yong said.

Zheng Cai Yan, who was playing the piano, felt happy and made a noise.

It was obviously because of the mistake in Cai Yong's words.

He reacted and covered the still trembling strings with his hands to calm the trembling strings.

"Yes, father-in-law."

Liu Qi agreed and cast a gentle look at Cai Yan.

As for Cai Yong's decision, he was asked to take Cai Yan with him and announce their relationship to the others.

You must know that Cai Yong is an old antique, and it is rare to be able to make such a rude decision.

After all, he proposed marriage to Cai Yong, and Cai Yong agreed, but he had not yet married Cai Yan, nor had he set a date.

Such an approach was contrary to the etiquette of a man.

"I don't know what you kid wants to do, but I won't ask you.

Likewise, I don't want to know.

With your kid's wisdom, you won't do anything stupid.

I just hope you don't let me down.

My daughter will be fine."

Cai Yong stared at Liu Qi seriously and said these words.

He is a great scholar, so he might not be able to guess anything at the beginning, but after so long, he can still guess some things.

If Liu Qi only comes to propose marriage, he will return to Jingzhou and set a wedding date when he is sure. , married Cai Yan, and when she first discussed the wedding date with Liu Qi, she was deceived.

Now that he has stayed in Luoyang for several months, if there is no other purpose, he would not believe it.

If it were not for the fact that Liu Qi treated his daughter Cai Yan sincerely during this period, Cai Yan would feel relieved.

He was about to fall out with Liu Qi, but he still needed a warning.

"Father-in-law, please rest assured."

Liu Qi also looked at Cai Yong seriously, his eyes not avoiding Cai Yong's gaze.

"Okay, go back and prepare for tomorrow's banquet.

Just remember to pick up Yan'er in the morning," Cai Yong said with a wave.

"Then my son-in-law will leave first."

Liu Qi stood up, bowed respectfully to Cai Yong, cast a gentle look at Cai Yan, and then turned and left
