Zhao Yue's entry into Beijing this time is undoubtedly a step-by-step trap and a step-by-step killing opportunity.

There are too many people who want to calculate him.

Dutou welcomed Zhao Yue and his party into the city with humility on his face, and kindly reminded: "Son, don't be too wordy if you are small." This is a tense time for the national crisis. The capital is under martial law. The imperial court held on to the streets. Even if he is a prince, he is not allowed to gallop on the street. The prince must not like to cause more slander and add extra trouble, but he still walks slowly and well with a BMW horse. You can also take a good look at the scenery if you go slower. Looking at the small ones, the other heroes must be coming to the capital for the first time, right? ”

Zhao Yue still didn't squeak and ignored him, as if he didn't admit his identity, but he really slowed down and slowly walked towards the long street of the main road in Beicheng.

As soon as Zhao Yue walked a little farther, he immediately beckoned to his powerful cronies, and the cronies hurried over, listened to the boss's voice, and then ran away.

Soon after, the news that Wen Chenghou's younger brother Zhao Lao Er had come to the capital spread all over the capital, and the storm ran as fast as the storm.

Naturally, the officials, especially the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, also got this amazing unexpected news, and they learned about it first.

At noon, it's time for lunch and rest.

The office area of the prime minister in Miyagi.

Prime Minister Cai Jing,

The accident is not a complete accident to restore the phase, Cai Jing is now very "loyal, patriotic, and diligent", once again for the prime minister, he has changed the habit of going back to the house to rest and enjoy during the lunch break, and there is no phenomenon of always arriving late and leaving early or even not coming to work at all, and he "clocks in" to work on time every day, and stays in the palace from morning to night.

From the glorious high and wealthy throne to the abyss, where no power, no money, no one cares, and even the simplest civilian food can barely be eaten, this huge gap lesson is too profound for Cai Jing.

Power and status are suddenly lost and regained, and you can imagine how exciting, ecstatic, and valuing a power-hungry bureaucrat like Cai Jing would be. 、

In particular, the situation between the DPRK and China has changed dramatically, and the current situation is different from the past.

The countless henchmen of the past are gone, and the power of the old opponents who were once weak and could only bow down to the ears has many henchmen, and the power has been established, and the position is stable, and the emperor has changed, and the new emperor and new deputy opponents who are naïve and unfamiliar with practice but eager to show off and fight for power are particularly capricious...... Cai Jing was anxious to grasp the power, straighten out the situation, and sit firmly and shake the phase that could be lost again at any time, so this time he had to fight with all his strength.

If you don't work hard, you can't do it.

He no longer has a strong political foundation and connections, no more talented son who can act on his behalf of the will to power, and no calm foundation for being an official who can coax the emperor into the so-called prosperity and prosperity of the world, so he can only do everything desperately and personally, and seize all the time to deal with the too complicated, too dangerous and thorny officialdom infighting and the critical government affairs that may break out at any time, so the rich and arrogant authoritarian conceit that used to go to work so informally cannot be had, and he also sticks to his post during the lunch break. For fear that when I go home, I will take advantage of the opportunity to stumble and miss major news, resulting in negligence in major affairs, and being attacked and accused of being old and mediocre.......

Besides, when I go home, I don't have the extravagant food to enjoy and beautiful women to enjoy, and I have no meat, no eggs, and no ..... for lunch Rice with turnips and cabbage...... Why are you going home? Staying in the office honestly saves at least the pain of running back and forth in the winter.

At this time, he had finished eating the diet that his dogs were not rare to look at, and he endured the lackluster disgust and loss, and while thinking back to the extravagant and glorious days of the past, he chatted with the old henchmen who had been re-promoted, and now the new household servant, about the poor financial situation and the difficult ....... in the future.

His only surviving son in the capital, the fifth Cai who served him as an assistant and an assistant with him every day at work, suddenly rushed in from outside, and rushed to Cai Jing's side with a strange look and the cold wind outside, so that Lao Cai, who was staying in a warm and comfortable office, couldn't help but shiver with cold and uncomfortable.

But after Cai said softly, Cai Jing forgot to ask his son why he dared to let him suffer from the wind in a hurry, his pale brows were raised, he was stunned for a moment, and then he lost his voice: "What? Zhao Er is here...... He...... What are you doing......

I was taken into urgent thought by this unexpected news.

The head of the household was also stunned when he heard this, but then he understood who the so-called Zhao Er was, and he was immediately stunned and blurted out: "How dare he come......"

also fell into urgent pondering, and after a while, seeing Lao Cai's frowning eyebrows slowly stretched, he asked softly and urgently: "Xiangye, look at this, are we?"

"Nope."

Cai Jing shook his hand slightly in old age, but the pair of triangular old eyes that were originally dim when he looked at the waiter of the household were shining brightly at the moment, revealing a terrifying light, as terrible as a poisonous snake, so frightened that although the waiter was very familiar with Lao Cai, he couldn't help but tremble, but he heard Lao Cai say slowly: "Let's not do anything." Just watch quietly. ”

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was something that had been hanging under the pressure of the crisis, and his anxious and frightened heart was gently put down a lot. Not only that, Lao Cai's unbearable face full of folds and old age spots even seemed to show a little smile lines and joy, his eyes flashed, and he obviously had some calculations or a big bargain to be gained.

The squire is also in his fifties, and he is also an old fritter who has been an official in the central government for more than ten years and has been rolling in officialdom for decades, and he has already figured out some of the tricks in Cai Jing's words, but he still deliberately pretended to be ignorant, and said tentatively: "There is such a good opportunity to catch that gentleman as a hostage, and then fight with the arrogant Zhao Gonglian, you can turn passive into active, such a good opportunity to take the lead, why don't we hold our troops?" The lower official is stupid, please advise the minister. What do you mean? ”

Cai Jing chuckled, but only said lightly: "The state is critical and difficult, and in an eventful season, benevolence and righteousness should come first, and it is better to be quiet than to move." ”

“...... Oh, I kind of get it. is still the old lady in the old city to seek the country, wisdom is like the sea, calm and serious, old and spicy but not lose benevolence, and the lower officials admire it very much. ”

...........

Subsequently, Cai went out again on his father's order, and hurriedly sent people around to urgently inform all members of the Cai Party in Beijing not to act rashly against Zhao Er.

For a wealthy family like Zhao Yue, no matter how arrogant and bold he is, no matter how famous he is, with the pride of Cai Jing's respectful servant and high eyelids, he will never put Zhao Yue in his eyes in the past, even if he is the younger brother of the genius Wen Chenghou, now he comes to visit the capital, but Cai Jing is also shocked and secretly pays close attention to it....

Governor Zhang Bangchang this.

This guy adheres to the principle of officialdom for 10,000 years, but now he has become the first party faction and has become the largest faction in the DPRK and China.

He was more well-informed, so he naturally knew that Zhao Yue had come to Beijing earlier.

The moment he learned the news, he and Cai Jing's reactions were almost identical, stunned, surprised, and then contemplative...... Then the same command continues: don't act rashly, but wait and see what happens.

The words and expressions were as relieved and even happy as Cai Jing, and his flashing eyes were gloomy, spicy, and sinister, obviously he also saw what opportunity and what calculations he had in his heart.

The Privy Council, the Privy Councillor Tong Guan this.

This old eunuch who is fond of martial arts, both in age and seniority than Zhang Bangchang, has a deep foundation in the palace and in the court, since he started but gained power and he did not deal with Mai Mang, after the unexpected death, he became Zhao Ji's most trusted and most useful eunuch, and his power in the palace is naturally greater and more stable.

Tong Guan's henchmen are the second largest faction, but because he has been guarding the northwest for many years away from Beijing, he has lost many convenient connections in the officialdom of the DPRK and China.

But his power is even stronger, not the leader of the first major faction, Zhang Bangchang, dares to call out, let alone Cai Jing can compare with today, he is really the first person under the emperor. A puppet king like the new emperor Zhao Huan doesn't have any real power, and he can't do any major things, even if he really sits on the throne, he can only honestly retreat in a short period of time.

is in charge of the military, has countless minions, and directly has soldiers and intelligence personnel brought out from the Northwest Battlefield, Tong Guan got the news earlier than Zhang Bangchang.

In China's thousands of years of history, there are many eunuchs who are more famous than Tong Guan.

Later generations are more familiar with the famous eunuchs who can be said casually as many Jiazhen, such as Zheng He, who went to the West, such as the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, such as Li Lianying of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and so on, but Tong Guan is different, that is the person who has really been in charge of military power and unified the army to fight and become a top military and political officer of the serious court, a eunuch can be mixed to the extent of Tong Guan, and can be called the first eunuch in ancient times, this is not only an opportunity for luck and the special situation of the Song Dynasty, it is indeed an opportunity with extraordinary vision, ability, will, and even courage.

He was also the first person in the court to contact Zhao Gonglian, and although he was separated from each other in the future, he had the most contacts, and he was also the person who best understood Zhao Gonglian's temperament, ambition and logic.

At least on the surface.

Because he didn't know the true identity and political purpose of the Cangzhao family, and he didn't know what the most fundamental force Cangzhao relied on to rise rapidly from the grassroots to the top wealthy family of the Song Dynasty, he lacked a real understanding of the mysterious Zhao Zhuang that could not be spied on, and the members of the Cangzhao family compound, which was even more heavily defended and could not be spied on.

The frequent exchanges between him and Zhao Gonglian in the past were limited to similar military and political ideals, expanding the territory, recovering Yanyun's ambitions and a little normal officialdom personal feelings, and what he knew and understood about Zhao Gonglian and the Cangzhao family was only part of the truth.

But this is enough to make Tong Guan more calm, rational, and grasp of Zhao Gonglian's behavior and intentions than others, and also have more confidence in Zhao Gonglian and himself.

In the most critical and critical period of the country, it is also the time to test an official's political vision and wisdom the most.

Good at infighting, focusing on the country, Tong Guan obviously does not lack a certain quality of political affairs for the country's internal affairs and officialdom.

The Song official who least believed that Zhao Gonglian would rebel because he hated the situation was not Geng Nanzhong, but Tong Guan.

In Tong Guan's eyes, Geng Nanzhong is a fortunate clown, scholarly and angry, and does not really understand the major military and political affairs, nor does he really understand the world's major military and political leaders, including Zhao Gonglian, but he is conceited of his talents, self-righteous, and the humble little person suddenly sits in a high position, full of ambition, consciously lucky, good luck is just the top and invincible, and he can turn good luck into good fortune, he is getting carried away and arrogant, wishful thinking in everything, willful and rampant, meddling in everything and wanting to have the final say, just want to show his ability to establish prestige and seize power, The military and political affairs, which are more powerful than Cai Jing, are both authoritarian purposes, and judging from the performance so far, there is no competence in military and political practice, and it is all empty rhetoric and no big words, and it has been proved that the ability to govern is not as good as that of the petty officials who are accustomed to doing practical things, and they are inferior and ridiculous, but they are afraid that they are good at infighting...... Because of personal grudges, he made a mortal enmity with Zhao Gonglian, and played the trick of slander, which was not on the table but was really good, which was equivalent to stimulating and forcing the Zhao family to rebel, and he was arrogant and willful, and his edge became more and more vigorous, holding the thigh of the new emperor, and he was the only courtier who relied on the trust of the new emperor. When the opportunity came, he hurried over the addiction of the only favored minister, his heart was so earnest, and he was touted by those undesirable rotten Confucians, and he became more and more unable to show his own weight, so that he had no more children to spare, and maintained a humble and polite Confucian demeanor on the outside, but he did not put the old ministers in the court in his eyes at all..... This kind of corrupt and stubborn guy is not worthy of being in the court at all, and he dares to compare and fight with Zhao Gonglian..... It's time to learn a lesson......

Zhao Yue suddenly came to the capital to take an adventure, which surprised Tong Guan, but he was not stunned and shocked like Cai Jing and Zhang Bangchang.

He reacted almost in the blink of an eye, with a happy and relaxed look on his face and a trace of "as I expected, it was so", and only after a little groaning, he ordered: tell everyone to take care of their mouths and hands, and not interfere with everything that Zhao Yue'er is doing in the capital. If anyone dares to be greedy and delusional at this juncture to deal with Zhao Lao Er without authorization, he is half-hearted to him, not a loyal, honest and trustworthy person, and a stupid and useless disaster waste. is both unfaithful and useless, and if something happens, Hugh blames the old man for cleaning him up without showing affection.......

Gao Yu, who was directly in charge of the forbidden army, got the news earlier.

The first thing the city gate army reported was naturally the military department, and the generals naturally had to report to the boss Gao Taiwei first.

After Gao Yu learned the news, his mouth opened in astonishment and turned into an o that could be stuffed into a goose egg: At this time, Zhao Lao'er came to the capital rashly, did he want to find death? After thinking about it, I laughed, and I didn't know about it.

Born in the capital, Gao Yu has no political wisdom, but he has the ability to pat his ass and hug his thighs, and he has the ability to see the wind and steer the rudder, and take a step out to watch the way to protect himself.

Gao Yu has never participated in this kind of political struggle.

What kind of attitude does the backer Zhao Ji have, he is what kind of attitude he is. Especially when it comes to Zhao Gonglian.
