Whether it is the Seed Army, the Folding Army or the entire Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the generals are all sons who inherit the throne of their fathers, and in fact they have already become warlords, which is completely contrary to Zhao Kuangyin's original intention, but the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have never interfered with the inheritance of the Western Army. First, because he did not dare to act rashly, one accidentally forced the Western Army to rebel, and the Great Song Dynasty was in danger of overturning. The second reason is that the Western Army relies on the imperial court for support, and it has always been obedient, and it will fight whoever is allowed to fight, and if it is not allowed to fight, it will not be fought. In this way, the Western Army, a military force that deviated from Zhao Kuangyin's ancestral training, has survived for more than 200 years.

On the other hand, the Tianci Army, although it was a private army, but Zhao Ji asked him to fight Fang La, so he went to fight. Although he was not allowed to beat Liangshan, he did not say that he would not be allowed to fight. Saving the Daimyo's Mansion, exterminating Liangshan, and destroying Zengtou City, which was all foreigners, were all helping the Great Song Dynasty to fight. Moreover, the Western Army asked for money and food for the Great Song Dynasty to fight, and the Tianci Army didn't want anything to help the Great Song Dynasty fight.

The Tianci Army is a private army, but the Western Army is now also a semi-private army. The Han Shizhong Army and the Yuejia Army that appeared later were also real private armies.

Zhao Ji actually thought about whether Tian Shiyi was loyal or traitorous for a long, long time, and finally decided to test one thing, that is, whether Tian Shiyi was willing to come to Bianliang to be an official. As long as you come, under your nose every day, you will have no ambition. For friends who have no anti-aspirations, Zhao Ji has always been very generous.

Tian Shiyi really came, and Zhao Ji was very happy. It was precisely because he was happy that Tian Shiyi was not angry when he saw Master Li. After all, it's just a prostitute, what's the matter if you see each other, does he Tian Shiyi really dare to stay in Xinghualou?

Regarding Zhao Ji's psychology, Dong Xiaowan has also studied it for a long, long time. Tian Shiyi also listened to Dong Xiaowan's suggestion, and finally sent himself to Bianliang, which made him feel disgusting.

Zhao Ji went to Liang Shicheng's mansion to inquire about Eunuch Liang's injury, and by the way, he inquired about the White Bone Demon. Tian Shiyi had already led everyone to his house, but what he heard on the way was really exciting.

The fact that the remnants of Manichaeism offered rewards to Tan Zhi, Liang Chengshi, and Zhu Mian for their heads was rumored to be miraculous, among which Tan Zhen's head was the most valuable, and it was as high as a terrifying million taels of gold. No need to ask, this rumor must be a ghost made by Liang Hongyu, but in this way, Tan Zhi will definitely have more guards around him, and he will definitely pay more attention to his own safety, and it will be more difficult for Liang Xiaoniu to kill Tan Zhi to avenge her father.

Yan Qing was sent to Liangshan for training, and the bartender had to find a new candidate. In Tian Shiyi's plan, the bartender is very important, because it is related to whether he can set up a nirvana for Zhu Mian.

After listening to Brother Eleven's request, Xiu Huazhen immediately went to find a bartender with a clean background. Because Brother Eleven said that the bartender was going to be sent to Zhao Ji, those people can't have anything to do with the Tianci Alliance, and the cleaner the background, the better.

The power struggle is the most dangerous, and it is also the most disgusting in Tian Shiyi's cognition. But now that he has come to Bianliang, he is no longer willing to carry on this battle.

Looking at the entire court, Tian Shiyi already had too many enemies. Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, and Gao Yu are all heavyweights, and if they want to knock them down, they must have three talents.

The first is allies, which Zhang Shuye, Li Gang, Zong Ze and others can fight for. The second type is a villain who can join forces and use each other, and it seems appropriate to evaluate Cai Jing, who Tian Shiyi is comparable to "Li Du". The third is a sacrifice that can be used as a gunman and thrown out of the pot, Tian Shiyi feels that Qin Hui seems to be able to make a cameo.

Qin Hui is very smart, and it is almost impossible to play with it, but sometimes it is not necessary to deceive, as long as he is willing to do it. As early as Hangzhou Shitian Shiyi saw that Qin Hui had not yet grown into a generation of traitors at this time, and it was time to make good use of it.

Although he wanted to be in the same stream with Cai Jing and use each other, Tian Shiyi at this time was far from that status and height, and he still had to stammer and fool Cai Jing for the time being. Not to mention anything else, when he exterminated Liangshan, he pretended to be a disciple of the Cai family, and Cai Jing had to be given an explanation for this matter, otherwise there would be one more enemy out of thin air.

Cai Jing is not a good person, but there must be a sequence in the elimination of traitors. In Tian Shiyi's words, it is called first come, first come, first come, and the first to provoke Brother Eleven naturally has to be in a row ahead. If you can provoke the major traitors to kill each other, it will be perfect, after all, Tian Shiyi likes to hide behind and secretly count the money.

At this time, Cai Jing was frustrated, just before Tian Shiyi came to Bianliang, Zhao Ji had just ordered Cai Jing to be at home, this was the third time Cai Jing was driven down from the position of prime minister, and he was currently living in Bianliang City as a prince.

It stands to reason that Cai Jing should return to his hometown to retire after paying homage three times to the prime minister three times, but he is still stranded in Bianliang and refuses to leave. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that although Cai Jing is in his seventies and eighties, his desire for power still supports him. Tian Shiyi knew that Cai Jing in history had indeed been prime minister four times. At this time, in the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing's protégés and former officials were all over the world, and their heritage was unparalleled.

Speaking of Cai Jing, if it is said that it has a mixed reputation, it should be a compliment to him. But Cai Xianggong has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he has done a lot of good and bad things, and he can't make an objective evaluation of it just by using the word good or bad.

If the incompetent person is an official, even if he is as honest as water, it will only be a disaster for the country and the people.

The prayer post had already been sent to Cai's Mansion a day earlier, and when he saw this kind of level, the old guy naturally had to do a full number of courtesies. Tian Shiyi was very curious about Cai Jing, and he didn't know what kind of character this famous traitor was.

Although the Great Song Dynasty adopted a policy of high salaries and incorruptible support, it generally advocated frugality, which had a lot to do with the teachings of the sages. But as we all know, Cai Xianggong's mansion is notoriously luxurious.

As soon as he entered Cai's Mansion, Tian Shiyi understood what was the real poverty and luxury. After all, he has been in the Great Song Dynasty for a while, and he has seen many wealthy mansions, Tian Shiyi is no longer the little white in his previous life.

Cai Fu doesn't look very luxurious, but as long as you take a closer look, you will find that people are playing with high-end gadgets. With a few tables and chairs in the guest hall, it is estimated that more than a dozen shops can be replaced in Bianliang City.

Sitting in an expensive chair, a servant brings hot tea. Tian Shiyi looked at the simple and luxurious furnishings, and couldn't help but think of a joke recorded in "Crane Forest Yulu".
