Chapter 238: Reward Wu Song
Wu Song had also guessed that the old man was Cai Jing.
When Cai Yan said this, he was neither in a hurry, nor slow, nor humble or arrogant, and stepped forward to salute in accordance with the rules of the generals in the army to meet the prime minister.
Cai Jing said lightly: "It turns out that you are Wu Song!" When Xu En wrote to me several times, he mentioned you and said that you were a talent. But as soon as he arrived at the house, why did he make such a big commotion? ”
Wu Song had already prepared and calmly explained: "My lord is aware of it, I was competing with everyone just now, learning from each other, and saying that in order to compete with real skills, this competition can not be about the rules, so the movement is bigger, please forgive me!" ”
When he said this, Ximenqing, Gao Yanei, Cai Xuan, and those dog legs with broken hands and legs, wanted to vomit blood one by one: You were so ruthless just now, are you still a martial arts competition?
Cai Yu immediately howled: "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense, we are not competing at all, we just don't like him。。。。。。 ”
This kid is usually very afraid of his father Cai Jing in his heart, and knows that his traitorous father is aware of everything and cannot be fooled, so he plans to tell the truth about the fact that he wants to bully Wu Song after listening to the words of Ximen Qing and Gao Yanei.
Cai Jing's face was indifferent, and he coldly interrupted Cai Yu's words, and said: "Since it is a martial arts competition, if you can't win, you can't do it." ”
His indardaring gaze glanced at those dog-legged people, and said, "You usually eat well and dress well, but you neglect to practice and have poor skills, no wonder so many people can't beat one of them." All of them will deduct three months' salary and play ten boards! ”
As soon as he said this, Cai Yu still had many words blocked in his throat. Ximen Qing and Gao Yanei are both domineering lords, but in front of Cai Jing, how dare they talk more!
Ximen Qing knew that although he called Cai Jing a godfather, Cai Jing didn't really treat him as a son, and he couldn't say half a wrong word in front of Cai Jing; Gao Yanei, no matter how bastard, it is clear that in Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the comparison is who is more powerful, although he is favored by the emperor, and under normal circumstances, he can run rampant in Bianliang at will, but in front of Cai Jing, he has to give three points.
Those dogs, although they were beaten by Wu Song, and they had to be deducted money and boarded, but no one dared to show the slightest complaint.
They also didn't understand why Cai Jing would believe and agree on Wu Song's words so easily: This is just a competition?
Wu Song was also a little surprised by Cai Jing's words at first, but then he thought that he deliberately described the deliberate fault-finding of the three living treasures of Ximenqing, Gao Yanei and Cai Xuan as a martial arts competition, leaving a step for Cai Fu and a way out for himself.
Cai Jing glanced at Wu Song calmly again, and said, "Accompany the old man to the garden, the old man has been sitting for too long, and this old bone should also be active!" ”
As he spoke, he walked slowly and with a kind of prime minister's demeanor, awe-inspiring steps, and walked towards Cai's Mansion Garden first, Cai Yan hurriedly followed and served, and Wu Song was half a step behind and followed.
From beginning to end, Cai Jingjing didn't mention Wu Song's previous beating of Ximenqing, just now, he didn't even look at Ximenqing, who had a blue nose and swollen face like a pig.
Obviously, Cai Jing had no intention of being beaten out for his godson Ximenqing.
Wu Songxin said: It turns out that Ximenqing, the godson, is not as good as a dog in Cai Jing's eyes.
Cai Yan and Cai Yu are also Cai Jing's biological sons. However, Cai Yu is obviously a straw bag, obviously, Cai Jing attaches more importance to Cai Ying, after all, Cai Yan is capable and has a good appearance, and he is already the emperor's concubine.
。。。。。。
When he came out of Cai's mansion, Wu Song's steps were calm and hearty.
This time I came to see Cai Jing, which was really a bit unexpected for him.
Originally, because of the beating of Ximenqing, he was ordered by Gao Yu to come to Cai Jing to ask for guilt.
However, from beginning to end, Cai Jing did not mention the matter of Ximenqing at all, but said that Xu En affirmed Wu Song, and asked Wu Song in detail about the actual situation of Xu En's implementation of the reform in Qinghe County.
If it weren't for the fact that as a traverser, he knew in advance that Cai Jing was one of the most traitorous ministers in history, Wu Song would almost have to believe that Cai Jing was indeed a virtuous minister who was worried about the country and the people, determined to reform, and decisive and promising.
Cai Ying saw that his father not only did not blame Wu Song, but obviously admired Wu Song, thinking that his words that he had explained in advance that Wu Song had saved him had played a role, so he took the opportunity to propose to Cai Jing: Wu Song was brave and promising that day, saved himself, and asked Cai Jing to give a reward.
Cai Jing immediately reprimanded Cai Ying and said, "What is it to save you!" Wu Song didn't just save you! He acted bravely at that time, killing one assassin and driving away another, and also indirectly saved the emperor and the envoys of the Jin State at the scene, which made great contributions to the royal family and the imperial court! I didn't know who it was before, but now that it has been investigated that it is Wu Song, the old man naturally wants to show the emperor and give him a heavy reward! ”
Cai Jing exhaled slightly again and said, "Now the relationship between our dynasty and the Liao State and the Jin State is really complicated. If the envoy of the Jin State was assassinated in our Great Song Dynasty this time, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Wu Song's contribution this time is actually very great, and I believe that the official family will also reward him heavily! ”
Cai Yan was overjoyed, and Wu Song was also surprised.
However, now that he has read "Situ's Testament", although he is far from being proficient, he also has some feelings about things like political struggles in the court, and he is not completely stunned.
Therefore, he realized that Cai Jing did not hold himself accountable for beating Ximenqing and going to Cai's mansion to fight a lot, but fully affirmed his merits and wanted to repay the emperor for giving him a heavy reward, which was definitely not entirely impartial, but involved the complex and delicate political situation in the DPRK and China.
Cai Jing is a big traitor, the depth of the city and the secret of his thoughts, naturally far from being able to completely guess by Wu Song at this time, even as a traverser, knowing that Cai Jing is a big traitor, Wu Song cannot have the ability to compare scheming and resourcefulness with Cai Jing.
Therefore, Wu Song didn't know what Cai Jing was thinking in his heart, what he could think of was: he was under the command of Gao Yu, another popular person of the emperor at this time, and in the eyes of others, he was equivalent to Gao Yu's cronies.
If Cai Jing is not holding accountable for beating Ximen Qinghe in Cai's mansion, he is giving Gao Yu face, then Cai Jing repeatedly mentioned Xu En's appreciation of Wu Song, and offered to give Wu Song a heavy reward, which obviously has the intention of wooing Wu Song and containing Gao Yu.
Cai Jing is well-known in the capital, and he must know that Wu Song has beaten Gao Yanei several times, and he must also know the true situation of the relationship between Wu Song and Gao Yu; And even if Gao Yu has the grace of knowing Wu Song, then Xu En was also Wu Song's Bole, and Cai Jing is now more willing to reward Wu Song, which can still bring Wu Song over.
In the middle of the court, Gao Yu became more and more favored by the emperor, and was about to take over as the imperial lieutenant to control the power of the forbidden army, which was only for Cai Jing, who was afraid that sooner or later raising tigers would become a threat. If Wu Song can be co-opted, then there will be one more chess piece to contain Gao Yu.
Although Wu Song is an upright person who does not like to play with intrigues, he has also vaguely realized that although he has not been in Bianliang for a long time, he has already begun to get involved in the political wrestling of the high-level of the Great Song Dynasty. In other words, he is entering the high-level vision of the Great Song Dynasty and will gradually become a figure with his own influence and role.
