Occasionally, he went into Luoyang City to handle official duties like putting out fires and catching thieves, or to the office of the Colonel-Director of Retainers to hand over documents, always surrounded by a large entourage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in the know understood he was guarding against retaliation from Wang Fu; those who didn't might have thought 'Yuan Shu, the Roadside Demon,' had simply changed his style!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for several days, there was no sign of any move from Wang Fu. Instead, word came that the scoundrel had begun shutting his gates and staying secluded at home. Whether he was frightened out of his wits or deliberately feigning weakness, Gongsun Xun truly had no idea how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this world, one can be a thief for a thousand days, but how can one guard against thieves for a thousand days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Ziheng? Summon him at once! Tell him I have matters to discuss with him!\" That evening, the moment Gongsun Xun returned, he could not help calling out repeatedly, ready to debate the matter with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, who else would he call if not Lu Fan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to matters of losing one's head, not to mention Han Dang or Wei Yue, even any random man among his personal volunteers was probably far superior to those Northern Army elites. But for matters that required using one's head, it came down to Lu Fan and Lou Gui. And Lou Gui, being half a local fixer, had to remain in Goushi to provide support if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ziheng went out?\" A few breaths later, Gongsun Xun was greatly astonished. \"Summoned by an old friend? Does he even have old friends in Luoyang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Young Lord,\" Han Dang replied, his face equally full of puzzlement. \"We are not clear on the details either. We only know that yesterday someone first delivered a letter to the volunteer hostel in Goushi, and then this morning Lou Zibo sent the letter by fast horse to Lu Ziheng. After reading the letter, he went straight out and forbade any guards from following. It's been most of the day now and he still hasn't returned...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this explanation, Gongsun Xun was even more baffled; nothing seemed to add up. But regardless, he could only set the matter aside for now and wait until Lu Fan returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gongsun Xun was about to keep Han Dang and have dinner first, someone suddenly came to report from outside the gate, saying that a person had been waiting there for a long time and, upon seeing the master return, had immediately presented a calling card with an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Gongsun Xun's first reaction was that Wang Fu was finally making his move, and his heart actually felt relieved, as if a stone had fallen to the ground. In his view, tonight he would thoroughly frighten the man out of his wits, make the scoundrel remember that he was a man who had carved a bloody path back from the desperate straits of the northern frontier, and then things would naturally quiet down from then on...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Gongsun Xun took the calling card handed over by the household servant, he could not help but freeze: \"Cai Bojie invites me? Invites me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is indeed a servant from the Cai residence,\" the household servant quickly responded. \"He said that Cai Bojie, Master Cai, invites the Young Lord to his residence for a talk, and also said that a plain qin and golden scriptures have been prepared...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun was rendered even more speechless. Setting aside how Cai Yong, that man he had entrapped so many times, could still come to invite him—just considering the current situation, how could a man of famed elegance and refinement like him properly associate with someone like himself, who was a target of public criticism... ahem, a pillar of the establishment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he not afraid of being implicated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, thoughts aside, Gongsun Xun still prepared to accept the invitation, and he still made full preparations, calling up several dozen men and heading to the Cai residence with great fanfare...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although that good-for-nothing Cai Yong was utterly incapable of staging something like the Feast at Hongmen, his uncle Cai Zhi was a proper Minister of the Nine Courts, and had previously clashed with Yang Qiu. Both sides had raised wine cups behind each other's backs and boasted that sooner or later they would wipe out the other's entire family... So, it was entirely possible that Cai Zhi had secretly defected to Wang Fu and was using his nephew's name to try and do him in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite these thoughts, Gongsun Xun's journey was entirely peaceful. Stepping into the Cai residence, he found only Cai Yong standing alone below the steps, offering a slight bow with clasped hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it truly was just Cai Bojie alone inviting him as a guest, and he had even disregarded status and age to perform the courtesy of descending the steps to greet him. Looking at it this way, it was Gongsun Xun who had measured the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a petty man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Cai!\" Gongsun Xun, seeing this, hurriedly saluted from a distance. \"Why go to such lengths?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The court is full of treacherous undercurrents. Who does not know that Wang Fu wants to kill you?\" Cai Yong sighed, his upturned nostrils flaring. \"That Wenqi could come at this time, undeterred by the risk, shows he already trusts me. How could I then be bound by common etiquette? Besides, there is still a matter I must entrust to you shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun nodded slightly and dispensed with further pleasantries. The two then supported each other and entered the inner hall. Inside, two low tables and two rush cushions had long been arranged, not distinguished by host and guest, but simply placed facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the two were seated, Cai Yong, as the host, waved for the household servants to serve wine and food. At this, although Gongsun Xun was puzzled inwardly, he ultimately maintained a tremendous psychological advantage over the other man, so he was able to keep his patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ate first, until they were well satisfied with wine and food. Then the dishes and wine were all cleared from the tables, and Cai Yong began to play the qin... It had to be said, Cai Bojie's musical accomplishment was indeed unparalleled in the world, let alone in a private performance. Gongsun Xun listened, nodding repeatedly in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, after playing three pieces in succession, Cai Yong finally pressed down on the qin strings, then raised his head and gave a long sigh: \"I, Cai Yong, have always loved entertaining guests, gathering crowds for feasts and drinking. Then, when the wine was at its height, I would play the qin and make music. Once a piece was finished, dozens of famous scholars would stroke their beards in praise. At those times, I would feel as if floating on air, like an immortal, and think there was no greater joy in life. I never imagined that on a clear, moonlit night, playing alone for a single guest would have its own unique flavor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun kept his mouth shut, merely nodding repeatedly, while inwardly laughing to himself—I'd like to see what trick you're going to pull today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wenqi, my qin music is done. Do you have any short poem that carries hidden ambition to offer in return?\" Cai Yong then asked earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun immediately spread his hands: \"Master Cai harbors deep sentiments in his heart, which is why celestial music drifts forth. I am utterly baffled; where would I find any ambition to compose a poem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was presumptuous of me,\" Cai Yong said with an embarrassed laugh, then suddenly turned his head and instructed the household servants: \"Go and summon the Lady and the others...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Gongsun Xun finally felt a prickle of unease in his heart. Was he about to be brought into the inner chambers to meet the wife? Wait, what exactly was this Cai Bojie playing at? Without any reason... was our friendship truly that deep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time to think further. After a short while, accompanied by the tinkling of jade ornaments, Gongsun Xun could only hurriedly rise to greet them. Then, fixing his gaze, he could not help but be greatly alarmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be understood, Gongsun Xun had originally thought only the man's proper wife would come out to exchange courtesies... That would have been fine, a matter of proper etiquette, even. One could say that such gestures to draw closer in friendship were practically unavoidable among the scholar-official class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, at Cai Yong's summons, a whole crowd of women had emerged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking closely, these women, regardless of age or attire, appeared in every way to be concubines or the like. Even the one leading at the front, though she held the hand of a young girl with her hair in twin tufts and had a white cat following at her feet, did not look like a principal wife. At most, she was a lesser wife... \"Lady\" could of course refer to a lesser wife, but what kind of situation was this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Gongsun Xun stood there dumbfounded for a moment, at a complete loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Wenqi, do not rush to perform the greetings, and do not be flustered,\" Cai Yong said, seemingly having anticipated the other's reaction, as he quickly stood up and stroked his beard in explanation. \"I am forty-six this year. My first wife passed away early, and my second wife, the principal one, also died seven or eight years ago. But suffering from having no son at my knee, I had no choice but to take many lesser wives, concubines, and maidservants... Yet even so, only Fifth Lady here has borne me a single daughter, so there is no longer any distinction between legitimate and common-born.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun, hearing this, could not help but look toward the delicate and pretty little girl whose hand was held by Cai Yong's lesser wife, and blurted out: \"So this is Wenji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you hear such nonsense?\" Cai Yong said helplessly. \"My daughter's childhood name lies in the character Yan. And according to the generational character sequence for women decided by the clan, when she comes of age and marries, she can be given the courtesy name Zhaoji. Where would this 'Wenji' come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun felt his head spinning and shook it repeatedly: \"She rather resembles her mother, born exceptionally fine-looking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That, at least, is a truthful statement,\" Cai Yong could not help but stroke his beard and laugh. \"I have only this one daughter raised at my knee; naturally, she is exceptionally fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\" The little girl, hearing this, suddenly looked up and interjected. \"He is not praising you. He is saying that you, Father, are ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yong was slightly taken aback, and his face could not help but flush somewhat: \"Wenqi remains as detestable as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun was terribly embarrassed and could only wave his hands repeatedly: \"Master Cai, acting this way, you must have some request... Let us speak of serious matters! Serious matters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let us speak of serious matters,\" Cai Yong said, with another embarrassed smile. \"Since Wenqi has now met my lesser wife, my daughter, and my concubines, it can naturally be considered that an entrustment has been made...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entrust what?\" Gongsun Xun was extremely wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Wenqi not a man of boundless future prospects?\" Cai Yong asked calmly in return. \"While I am old and decrepit. If some unforeseen event truly befell me, you could always help look after them a little, could you not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, not only did the concubines all sigh in lament, but Gongsun Xun was also stunned: \"What nonsense is Master Cai spouting? Setting aside the matter of entrustment... even if you truly wished to entrust them, with your circle of acquaintances so vast, who could you not entrust them to? Why entrust them to me, a mere Consultant Officer of the Capital? Could it be that if your house catches fire, I can quickly send men to put it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah,\" Cai Yong quickly shook his head. \"Firstly, it is naturally just in case of the unexpected. Secondly, there is actually another matter today that I can only entrust to you. The family was merely an afterthought!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun did not know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man is the Consultant Officer of the Capital, the White Horse Commandant Gongsun Xun. Remember his appearance and name, and then all of you withdraw,\" Cai Yong instructed thus, then turned his head back to look at Gongsun Xun. \"Wenqi, come with me to the Eastern Pavilion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun finally had a glimmer of understanding... So it was about that damned business!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, I want to come too!\" As all of Cai's concubines were about to withdraw, only the young Cai Zhaoji, her hair in twin tufts, held her cat in one hand and tugged at her father's robe with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well!\" Cai Yong naturally had no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, with a servant carrying a lantern leading the way, the three people and one cat headed toward the Eastern Pavilion of the Cai residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Master Cai wish to entrust the books of the Eastern Pavilion to me?\" Gongsun Xun, having gained a hint of understanding, naturally spoke directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" Cai Yong said frankly, while holding onto his daughter. \"These past days, I have carefully examined the block-printed books from your family. They are truly exquisite, and also light and neat, far better than the originals you took from my home that day... Since that is the case, why not give you all these remaining books as well, and in the future, you can just return them to me in paper editions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, Gongsun Xun could not even be bothered to retort. When he first saw the kind of books his mother had sent, he too had been amazed for a time. But later, upon learning that as long as the printing blocks were not lost, they could be used for multiple print runs, he immediately understood the truth—rarity makes things precious. Compared to the original manuscripts hand-copied by the world-renowned scholar Cai Bojie, these printed items were simply not worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this truth was certainly not worth bringing up in front of Cai Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the three people and one cat had already ascended the Eastern Pavilion of the Cai residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wenqi, look — in my lifetime I have amassed over ten thousand volumes of books.\" Cai Yong released his daughter's hand, then took the lantern from his household servant and personally held it up ahead to light the way for Gongsun Xun. \"With these ten thousand volumes alone, I can look down upon all the renowned scholars of the realm... I recall in years past, how many young and hot-blooded sons of illustrious families from Shandong and Guanxi harbored resentment at my fame here in Luoyang, but after hearing me play the zither and reading my writings, ninety-nine out of a hundred willingly conceded defeat. As for the one who remained, I needed only to lead him on a stroll through this Eastern Pavilion, and he too would bow his head in submission. Wenqi, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gongsun Xun, a man with little claim to literary virtue in his heart, could not help but stand with hands tucked into his sleeves at this moment and sigh softly: \"Everywhere the eye falls, it is like gazing upon lustrous, exquisite jade — it fills one with reverence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said — 'everywhere like lustrous jade'!\" Cai Yong burst into laughter at once. \"I thought Wenqi would dismiss it with indifference. That day you didn't bat an eye while making off with over a thousand of my volumes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was because I knew in my heart that once those books reached my home in Liaoxi, they would never suffer the fate of bright pearls covered in dust!\" Gongsun Xun, hearing this, did recover his composure somewhat. \"I won't hide it from Lord Cai — when it comes to breadth of knowledge and learning, my mother is in no way inferior to you. This is something even my teacher Lu Zhi often remarks upon with admiration!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That statement sounds utterly preposterous at first hearing, yet I find myself vaguely believing it.\" Cai Yong chuckled softly. \"Otherwise, how could she have raised a person like you? On the northern frontier, as White Horse Attendant, trusted and relied upon by the entire Yanmen commandery; here in Luoyang, a pillar standing firm in midstream, making the eunuchs' entire households tremble with fear. Even setting those aside, those words — 'In the high halls of state, rotten wood holds office; between the palace steps, beasts and fowl feed on official salaries. Thus the wolf-hearted and dog-mannered swagger insolently at court; the servile and groveling throng in droves to wield power' — those words make one sincerely and utterly convinced... Do you know, ever since I heard that passage, I have often sighed at home, lamenting that I have lived forty-six years in vain and truly am not your equal! Could it be that Confucian scholars really are good for nothing? Truly inferior to those of you who are adept with both pen and sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun's heart stirred: \"Lord Cai seems to be hinting at something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now, before the concubines and maids, I found it awkward to speak freely, but at this moment I will not hide it from Wenqi.\" Cai Yong answered with an air of proud resolution. \"After the grand court session on the first day of the month, the Son of Heaven issued a decree for me and several Erudites and great Confucian scholars to deliberate on changing the era name. I seized the opportunity to insert a separate memorandum within the memorial on the era name, directly addressing personnel matters at court, pointing out one by one those 'wolf-hearted and dog-mannered sorts, the servile and groveling crew'! This afternoon, the memorial was sealed in its box and delivered to the Northern Palace. By now His Majesty should have already previewed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun was dumbstruck, but finally managed to ask: \"May I venture to ask, Lord Cai, whose names did you list?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not as bold as Wenqi, who dared to confront Cao Jie and Wang Fu directly.\" Cai Yong declared with righteous fervor. \"But the arrogance and profligacy of the Son of Heaven's wet nurse, Lady Zhao; the greed and venality of Regular Palace Attendant Cheng Huang and Grand Master of the Palace Wei Zhang; the lawlessness of City Gate Captain Zhao Yan, Garrison Cavalry Captain Ge Sheng, and Elite Cavalry Captain Cao Poshi — I omitted not a single one! Moreover, I recommended to the Son of Heaven the Commandant of Justice Guo Xi, Grand Master of the Palace Qiao Xuan, Lord Qiao, and the former Grand Commandant Liu Chong, Lord Liu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to speak but then hesitated... To be honest, it wasn't that he lacked the urge to offer a critique or two, but rather that this memorial contained so many points to critique that for a moment he didn't even know where to begin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, all things considered, if one absolutely had to summarize this memorial, the following assessments would apply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it is undeniably righteous and awe-inspiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this point there is no doubt — no matter what, it ultimately represents the literati openly tearing away all pretense of civility with the eunuch faction, drawing a clear line between friend and foe... nothing to criticize there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, however, it is stuffed full of personal agendas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, the one and only Regular Palace Attendant he directly attacked, Cheng Huang, happens to be the inside man in the palace who works in collusion with Yang Qiu — for this very purpose, Cheng Huang specially adopted a beautiful daughter and married her off to Yang Qiu. And as for the relationship between Yang Qiu and the Cai family, let us not forget that business with him and Cai Yong's uncle Cai Zhi, where every time they got drunk together they would start shouting about slaughtering each other's entire families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all honesty, there are over a dozen Regular Attendants at court — which one of them isn't steeped in every imaginable evil? Did he really have to single out this one in particular?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, it will inevitably cause tensions to flare throughout the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the people directly named are far too numerous, and every single one of them is a big shot with real power, spread throughout both the inner and outer circles — it would be strange if this group didn't start panicking and hopping mad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, precisely because this group will be hopping mad, Cai Yong himself is bound to suffer massive retaliation... Of course, it's no wonder then that this fellow, half showing off and half genuinely pouring out his heart, with a touch of guilty nervousness, thought to invite me over and entrust me with this entire pavilion of books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Cai Bojie himself would be so unwise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is actually quite simple and clear... For one, it is after all the impetuousness of a bookish scholar — naive and laughable, an honest man; for another, he keeps going on about being forty-six and all that, feeling that at his age and without a son, he might as well take a gamble and angle for a truly high official post — a man does not act for himself and heaven and earth will destroy him, and one can't really fault him for that; for a third, one must also admit that within all this pedantic rigidity in his heart, there is still a measure of moral integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, none of this had anything to do with Gongsun Xun — or rather, from Gongsun Xun's perspective, this matter brought a hundred benefits and not a single harm. He was just then looking to apply pressure on the situation, to throw those eunuchs and powerful nobles into disarray, and old Cai's earth-shattering gamble, though destined to be utterly useless, was, from the angle of stirring up muddy waters, an exceptionally brilliant complement to certain schemes of his own — truly something to look forward to with great anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even in the very worst case, the memorial had already been submitted — what more could be done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does Wenqi think?\" Cai Yong's face flushed red, his nostrils flaring, as he asked with a face full of expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Xun immediately heaved a sigh, then reached out and rested his hand on the \"child's tufts\" hairstyle of Cai Zhaoji beside him, saying: \"For the sake of these ten thousand volumes of books, I must at least ensure that you, Lord Cai, do not end up dying without a burial place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, he is cursing you!\" Cai Zhaoji, clutching the white cat, immediately looked up and declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—————— I am the dividing line of dying without a burial place ——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the early Guanghe era of the Later Han, Cai Bojie risked death to remonstrate with the sovereign. Knowing that great calamity would follow, and because the Grand Ancestor was fierce and resolute, he thereupon bribed him with all ten thousand volumes of his household's books, seeking thereby to preserve his safety.\" — New Book of Yan, Biographies of Famous Scholars\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: In an earlier chapter I made a mistake — Chen Gui was from Xiapi.
