Chapter Ninety-Six: Cai Bian and His Person

Surrounded by hundreds of sharp arrows, including Ma Kui, they finally didn't dare to act rashly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Kui's face was distorted, and he was angry, and shouted: "Zhao Er, you are pulling such a big tiger skin!" You know, Tong Guan is not easy to mess with! ”

Indeed, the traitor Tong Guan is the most favored eunuch of the emperor today. Although Cai Jing is also reused, in terms of higher position, when it comes to intimacy with the current emperor, I am afraid it is still far worse than Tong Guan.

Therefore, above the imperial court, Tong Guan may not be afraid of Cai Jing. What's more, he helped Cai Jing Jingshan make a comeback in the past, and he made a comeback, and he still has a great favor to Cai Jing. Cai Jing couldn't help but give him a little thin noodles.

Although Zhao Er is playing Cai Jing's signboard, the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, but Ma Kuiruo reports the truth of everything to Tong Guan, Tong Guan has to take care of it, and Cai Jing has no choice but to hand over Zhao Er to Tong Guan for disposal. And the cruelty of Tong Guan's methods of dealing with people is also unclear to officials.

However, Zhao Er was openly unafraid of Ma Kui's threat, and said to Ma Kui with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me." Although this envoy is on an errand for the minister, he is also extremely respectful to the child. Because, the child and the princess cherish each other, and the hero cherishes the hero, who in the world does not know. In the future, if the child must pursue the envoy, the envoy can only admit it! ”

Wu Song heard him say that Cai Jing and Tong Guan were "heroes cherish heroes", and he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. Where are these two heroes, they are clearly a pair of traitors who are both embarrassed and intrigued. Listening to the meaning of Zhao Er's words, it seems that Cai Jing will coordinate with Tong Guan for him, and will not let Tong Guan hold him accountable in the future, so he has no fear.

However, Ma Kui's eyes shrank, and a fierce color flashed. Because, he knew that with Cai Jing's character, it would be impossible to offend Tong Guan in the future in order to cover up a small role like Zhao Er. Zhao Er's true intention is only to kill him, so that he is not afraid that Tong Guan will be held accountable in the future.

Therefore, the relationship between him and Zhao Er is actually a life-and-death relationship. Those of you here tonight are afraid that the future is not good.

He didn't bother with Zhao Er for a while, but secretly thought about countermeasures. At this time, the county queen Jiang also seemed to want to get out of the encirclement of sharp arrows, and said to Zhao Er: "Lord Zhao! The next official is the county queen of Qinghe County, can you take a step to speak? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Er didn't give him face, and said coldly: "Don't move first!" None of you are allowed to move, but whoever moves will be shot first!" ”

Empress Jiang had no choice but to stand in place. Zhao Er sneered: "Jiang Xiancheng, the envoy knows what you want to say to me. However, this envoy already knows your true identity, and you are the secret of our second master, Lord Cai Bian, yes or no? ”

When Ma Kui heard this, his face changed, and he glanced at Jiang Hou, obviously surprised. But seeing that Jiang Hou's face also changed, he arched his hand to Zhao Er and said, "My lord is clear!" ”

Jiang Hou admitted what Zhao Er said.

The people present, even Deng Fei and Yang Lin, who were wandering the rivers and lakes, knew who Cai Bian was. He is Cai Jing's younger brother, a scholar of the Imperial Palace and the prefect of Henan.

In fact, Cai Bian also has a prominent identity, that is: he is Wang Anshi's son-in-law. When Wang Anshi was still alive, he once appreciated him very much, and personally took the initiative to marry his daughter to him! Speaking of reform of the law, Cai Jing prides himself on being Wang Anshi's heir, but Wang Anshi's real heir is only Cai Bian!

At that time, Cai Bian and Cai Jing brothers were admitted to the Jinshi at the same time, and their official fortunes were prosperous, and they were once ahead of Cai Jing, serving as a scholar and attendant before Cai Jing, that is, a confidential official of the imperial court who drafted the edict for the emperor. Later, Cai Jing also served as a member of the Zhongshu House, and it was Cai Bian Lirang's brother who took the initiative to be listed in Cai Jing, and was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while. The Cai brothers also served as Zhongshu Sheren with their outstanding talents and drafted edicts for the emperor, which is also a great honor that everyone in the world envies.

It's just that later, his brother Cai Jing's official became bigger and bigger, but he gradually surpassed Cai Bian. Especially after Wang Anshi's death, Cai Bian was repeatedly ostracized by his colleagues and attacked by the emperor, and now he has been released as the prefect of Henan, which is actually no longer reused.

But he is still famous all over the world. Because, his calligraphy and Cai Jing's calligraphy can go hand in hand, and it was also respected by everyone in the world at that time.

The only people present were Pan Jinlian and Wu Song, who did not know enough about these allusions. Pan Jinlian is just the daughter of a tailor, who has lived in the countryside for a long time, so naturally she doesn't know much about the affairs of these high-ranking court officials. And Wu Song is a traverser, and he didn't read a lot of history books before he crossed over, and most of his historical knowledge about the Northern Song Dynasty came from the novel "Water Margin".

"Water Margin" itself was written by the Ming Dynasty, and the situation about the Northern Song Dynasty written in it is far from the real situation of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Wu Song had just crossed over, and his knowledge was even more limited, and he knew very little about Cai Bian's situation.

However, he also heard from Zhao Er's words that Cai Bian is Cai Jing's younger brother, and he must be a big official. And the county queen Jiang was actually Cai Bian's subordinate, which also surprised Wu Song.

In the small Qinghe County Yamen, the county magistrate Xu En is Cai Jing's doorman, the county Cheng Jiang Hou is Cai Bian's doorman, the confidential Ma Kui is Tong Guan's secret agent who was secretly planted here, and the main book Huang Li is the brother-in-law of a local tyrant Zhang Dahu, I don't know if there is any other greater background.

This is really "no one in the DPRK and China should not be an official". Even the officials in a small county government have amazing backers behind them. The complexity and darkness of officialdom can be seen.

Ma Kui is so powerful, as a secret agent of Tong Guan, he has been lurking in the yamen of Qinghe County for so many years, but he has never been able to understand Empress Jiang's background, which shows that Empress Jiang is also very hidden. In officialdom, no one will easily leak their backers to their opponents, because this is their last hole card.

However, Zhao Er is Cai Jing's secret envoy, Cai Jing and Cai Bian are brothers, and brothers will always have some contacts, so Zhao Er's understanding of Cai Bian's family situation is naturally not comparable to Ma Kui. He came to Qinghe County to supervise Xu En's reform of the law, and it was not long before he could learn the true identity of Empress Jiang.

It's just that since Empress Jiang is the protégé of Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian, then Zhao Erli should open up to him, which is obviously the reason why Empress Jiang asked him to borrow a step to speak. However, looking at Zhao Er's demeanor at this time, it seemed that he was like Ma Kui, and he didn't take Empress Jiang in his eyes.

I only heard him say coldly to Empress Jiang: "Since you are Lord Cai Bian's disciple, you shouldn't also come to this troubled water, and dare to obstruct the envoy from carrying out the secret order of the Prime Minister." You'd better wait for it to fall! ”

It seems that as Cai Jing's disciple, this Zhao Er doesn't even give Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian face, which naturally reflects the relationship between Cai Jing and Cai Bian, who are both like Tong Guan and want to win the legendary "Situ's Testament". In the court, these high-ranking officials are actually mercenary, and the relationship is very complicated, how can there be any brotherly affection at all!

As soon as Zhao Er's words came out, Jiang Hou wanted to say more, but saw that Zhao Er had already looked at Wu Song, but his face changed slightly, with a little more warmth, obviously looking at Wu Song differently, and said: "Wu Dutou, from now on, you will temporarily listen to orders under the envoy!" ”

That's right, Wu Song was promoted by Xu En, and he can be regarded as Xu En's cronies. And Xu Ennai is Cai Jing's protégé and obeys Cai Jing's secret envoy Zhao Er. Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Er to look at Wu Song differently and ask him to obey his orders.
