Section 20: Tokyo shiveres - the world is cold
When Zhang Yanei and a group of wealthy sons appeared, in the room on the first floor far away from the Hou Mansion, a sneer appeared on the corner of the mouth of a man who was not tall but very majestic in front of the window. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's you who are waiting. Looking for abuse by yourself, you are unlucky and can't blame others. ”
He gently put down the binoculars and put them away, turned around and walked out of the building, and quickly came to the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.
As soon as the two officials at the gate of the yamen heard that it was someone from the Marquis Wencheng's mansion who came to find the prefect Cai Mao, they immediately blocked the way, and one pressed his waist knife and said fiercely: "Don't break in." One of them smiled with a stick: "Lord Futai has gone out on business and is not in the yamen." Please come back if you have something. ”
The majestic man of the Hou Mansion is surnamed Lin, and his external name is a small steward of the Hou Mansion, and he is actually an assassin, responsible for cooperating with Yang Lin, the golden leopard, the time change, and the external liaison of the Hou Mansion.
He looked at the two servants singing with black faces and white faces blocking the door like two little ghosts guarding the door, and he knew very well why they dared to be so rude to the servants of the Longtu Pavilion University Scholars.
It was nothing more than the prefect Cai Mao who instructed him not to let him in advance.
Cai Mao, the old traitor, praised Cai Jing's stinky feet to the top position, and it was Cai Jing's intention and credit to be able to become the prefect of Kaifeng.
But when current events changed, Cai Jing, who seemed to be unshakable and indestructible in phase and power, suddenly stepped down, and Cai Mao, who was bent on chasing Cai Jing, was so miserable.
Cai Jing's officialdom is undoubtedly the first master in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but he is lustful for power, and he is dizzy, and he may not know the true face of Lushan, just because he is in this mountain, and he is full of hope and confidence to find another opportunity to quickly ascend to the throne.
Cai Mao's officialdom can't be compared with Cai Jing, but he can see it clearly: pirates are rampant, bullying the Song Dynasty like bullying a baby who can just walk, it is simply a random beating of the Great Song Dynasty, and its power can grow so fast, in the emperor's heart, Cai Jing, the first assistant prime minister, is completely blamed for his incompetence in governing the country, and he is deeply disappointed. The beloved third prince was crippled by the Cai family again. The emperor really hated Cai Jing this time. This is the root cause of lost opportunity.
Second, Cai Jing's children and grandchildren went crazy and killed many core and important members of the Cai Party, and after they were crazy, they all played with their lives, and their political power in the central government was greatly damaged, and they killed and disabled many children and grandchildren of powerful ministers. These powerful ministers either died or crippled the outstanding juniors who had high hopes, the family lacked strong second-generation support and inheritance, and the unbearable juniors were also damaged and damaged, lacking the hope of training, and they didn't know how to hate Cai Jing in their hearts.
It's just that Cai Jing is shrewd enough to enter the palace first to get punished by the emperor and get rid of the felony and get rid of the disaster, and he can still lurk in Tokyo and wait for the opportunity. The holy will has come out, and the current emperor's heart is unreasonable, and no one dares to disobey the holy will. You have to follow along. The ministers can no longer pursue and retaliate against Cai Jing's family with ruthless rectification, they can only endure this evil breath, in this way, this hatred will be bigger and deeper, how can they let Cai Jing return to the throne again, and it would be good not to die.
With so many powerful people, including several bigwigs, opposing or even hating, Cai Jing does not have the support of the core political forces in the DPRK and China, so how can there be any chance.
Third, Cai Jing is so old and has little energy, how many years can he survive? and lacks capable children, grandchildren and cronies, how can they fight the middle group of elites in the white time.
Fourth, although the Cai Party, which is all over the government and the opposition, has not fallen apart, and is still loyal to Cai Jing on the surface, it is still loyal and obedient, but it is mostly detached from morality and is not very optimistic about Cai Jing's future. Secretly, I don't know how many people are actively currying favor with the new forces, striving to change the court, maintain wealth and glory, or even go further.
Cai Jing's political forces are intertwined, and it is indeed difficult to sort them out quickly, and the political forces that do not deal with Cai Jing are afraid of this, and they can't figure out what the moody emperor thinks about Cai Jing, and they don't dare to start casually for a while, they are all looking at the direction of the wind. But the power of the Tsai Party, especially at the local level, is no longer unshakable.
……………..
Cai Jing is conceited of power, his power is not dead, and he is forced to stay in Tokyo and sting, but he is afraid that what he is waiting for is not a recovery, but a situation where the ministers will join forces to suppress and rectify the situation of annihilation and tragic death.
As the backbone of Cai's party, Cai Mao is in charge of such an important position in Kaifeng Mansion, so he has naturally become a thorn in the side of the newly proud political forces, and he is afraid that he is the primary target of suppression.
He was under great pressure, anxious day and night, while continuing to maintain close contact with Cai Jing, asking for good ways to deal with it, observing whether Cai Jing, an old and immortal traitor, still had the ability to turn decay into magic, and on the other hand, secretly and actively tried to discuss Bai Shizhong and Zhang Bangchang, the two most powerful and stable now, to see if there was an opportunity to change the door and reuse.
It's just that Bai Shizhong and Zhang Bangchang were in a hurry during this period of time after they took the throne, and they worked hard to figure out the emperor Zhao Ji's mind to deal with the three days and two ends of the urging of the country, the military and the people...... I really don't have the heart or energy to clean up and rectify the complex officialdom that Cai Jing has been operating for too long to stabilize his power, and he is also watching and waiting, and he hasn't thrown an olive branch yet.
At this critical juncture, Cai Mao's whole mind was focused on forming new forces and showing loyalty and ability to the emperor, Hou Fu beckoned to sell Hou Fu, he was the governor in charge of the ground in Tokyo, and he knew the situation on the ground in Tokyo better than other officials in the DPRK and China, and he knew that something happened at this auction, and he was afraid that there were intentions including the prime minister and even the emperor to rectify and test Zhao Gonglian, and he had already made up his mind to ignore the weak Hou Mansion who would come to the rescue of Kaifeng Yamen.
In his opinion, the wall fell and everyone pushed it. Wen Chenghou, who was strong for a while, and even Cai Jingjing had to avoid it, has become a thing of the past, and sooner or later he will end up extremely miserable. The Hou Mansion was purely stupid at this time, and if it did not see the situation clearly, it would inevitably suffer a big loss and lose face under the general trend of the political situation and the chaos of the powerful group forces.
And that's his chance to perform.
It is necessary to clearly state the political position, so that the emperor and Bai Shizhong can see his bright spots and the determination to re-align with him.
At this time, Cai Mao was comfortably lying on the rocking chair in the yakai to enjoy the cool tea, thinking in his heart: the son of the Zhang Xiang family and the son of the two heavy Shangshu families took the lead, and the auction incident would definitely make a lot of noise. After that, the old man will be able to get the favor of the white-looking and even the emperor......
He pondered it well. Hou Fulin's steward Yemen Qing.
"Hehe, when did Kaifeng Mansion become so big that even the people who were scholars of the Chaolong Tuge University had important things to do?"
The official who pressed the waist knife looked even more fierce. The smiling face turned up the corners of his mouth, still smiling and seemed polite, but he said stiffly: "The adult is not here." Naturally, please come back. ”
Since Yao Da and others left Kaifeng Mansion, Teng Zhifu left office, and Cai Mao took over, this Kaifeng Yamen has completely become a black nest, and there is no good thing from official to official here.
These two officials made it clear that they would not be allowed to enter.
Steward Lin was not annoyed, but he suddenly made a move, his body rushed forward, and his two hands pressed the heads of the two officials and collided fiercely.
Bang bang.
The heads of the two door imps collided sideways, and they felt a huge pain as if they were cracked, and they rolled their eyes and collapsed and fainted directly.
Steward Lin stepped on the two of them and broke into the yamen as if they were fine.
Now the people inside can't hide.
"How daring. actually dared to commit murder in the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Kaifeng's chief and deputy chief arresters all received orders today, and deliberately guarded the yamen to prevent the people of the Hou Mansion from making trouble and forcibly breaking into the prefect, and then they all jumped out and shouted angrily and threatened.
Steward Lin unhurriedly glanced at the two squad leaders and the armed servants who rushed out, and said with a smile: "You know what Cai Mao's idea is, and I know it too." Don't be foolish. I, Cangzhao people, are not even afraid of the tyrannical Liaokou, how can I be scared by you cats and dogs? ”
"You, you are presumptuous. Dare to come nonsense, Hugh blames the king for being ruthless. ”
"Wang Fa?"
"Hehe......."
Steward Lin burst out laughing, "It's good to talk about the king's law." Come and get me. I promise not to resist, I will never be afraid of death. It's good to die in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.
Let's see, is it important for the eldest son of my family to the imperial court or those incompetent people who will only shrink their heads and gnaw at the Great Song Dynasty to bring disaster to the country and the people. I want the world to see how many people will be buried with me. ”
The leaders of the two shifts led the officials to be fierce and terrible to the forest steward, but they did not dare to really commit murder.
They were just ordered to resolutely block the Hou Mansion people to help.
all know that the current Great Song Dynasty is indispensable to Wen Chenghou.
It's okay to play tricks and trample on the Hou Mansion, but it really forced the Cangzhao family to turn their hearts and the court to turn their faces, and the consequences, not to mention the Kaifeng Prefect, even the emperor can't afford it.
The servant of the Hou Mansion in front of him is a small person, but at this juncture, he represents the interests of the Hou Mansion, and what he tested was the true intention of the imperial court to the Cangzhao family. No matter how loyal and stupid the Cangzhao family is, they can endure it, understand the ruthlessness and shamelessness of the emperor and the imperial court, and will never be willing to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty again, the consequence is that the northern border pass is turbulent, and the Liao army will come to loot.
In this summer disaster, the losses of the Great Song Dynasty have been heavy enough. The situation is volatile and dangerous. There can be no more looting and attacks.
Heavy, forcing the rebel Wen Chenghou, the Cangzhao family does not need to pull the flag to rebel, only need to take refuge in the Liao State, and then I am afraid that within a few days, the army will come to the city of Tokyo, and the Great Song Dynasty may be finished.
The prestige of the Cangzhao family in the Great Song Dynasty was too high.
Zhao Gonglian's ability and appeal are too strong, especially against the border army.
If this person rebels, not only will the Northern Army be chilled or even rebel en masse. I am afraid that the soldiers of the Western Army will be shocked and turbulent and chaotic, and the generals may have some kind of thoughts.
Steward Lin knew that these rats didn't dare to do anything, and they didn't dare to do anything if they really did it, and they didn't have to see Cai Mao when they really did it.
He sneered, "Go in and tell your family." Let him pray that nothing will happen to the auction. Otherwise, he can't afford the consequences. ”
After saying that, he turned around and swaggered on his horse and left.
The bandits in Kaifeng Mansion are usually arrogant, and they are trampled on like this, staring at Steward Lin like wolves, but they can only grit their teeth and stare at them, hoping that the Hou Mansion will suffer as much as possible.
They are just lowly officials with wolf dog minions, and they are not qualified to play murder with the people of the Jiaolong and Tiger Family.
This side of the Hou Mansion.
Zhang Bangchang, the only seedling whose only physical function is still complete, shouted a penny to bid, and no one fought anymore.
He took a copper plate from the bodyguard, tossed it lightly in his hand, and then walked to the auction table with a folding fan and threw it on.
"How is this Grand Administrator of the Hou Mansion? The auction is over, right? ”
Steward Zhou, who had been embarrassed all the time, instantly regained his composure at this time, and the smile on his face was the same as before.
He put the auction hammer on the table and smiled at Zhang Yanei: "Your father Zhang Bangchang knows the way to protect himself as an official, insists on being a turtle with a shrunken neck, and only strives to be the second in ten thousand years, and does not dare to fight for the first." Zhang Yanei dares, not a turtle as a bird. You are much more courageous, courageous, and productive than your father. Admire. ”
Zhang Yanei glared and snorted angrily, suddenly snatched the mallet and knocked it himself, and shouted loudly: "Okay, the Hou Mansion has fallen under the gavel." The house is in the house. ”
The shouting was so loud that it could be heard by people outside the house.
Immediately, he turned to the participants and smiled loudly, "Everyone has seen it." I've already paid the bill. This house is now in the palace. Everyone must be very curious about the ghostly Hou Mansion and want to visit what it is like inside. Come on, follow me. Look at it casually. Come, come"
The wealthy businessmen in the public government laughed and responded enthusiastically: "Go, go, take a good look at this house with the son of the new house advocate and ......"
Of course, they understood that it was impossible to forcibly buy the Hou Mansion, let alone talk about a penny.
The house is still the property of the Cangzhao family, and even the emperor can't say that the house is his.
This group of people didn't come to the auction to buy at all, they just deliberately sabotaged the auction and disgusted people, and took advantage of the opportunity of the auction to enter the Hou Mansion, and made a big move into the Hou Mansion to make trouble and trample on the dignity of the Hou Mansion.
If so many people have any grievances with the Cangzhao family, it really can't be talked about.
Zhao Gonglian is not in the capital, and Zhao Yue's majesty is not in the capital, and the people of the Zhao family can't hinder the interests of the people in the capital at all.
The powerful family and the group of people who were able to become top wealthy businessmen in Tokyo were actually vested interests in the benefits of Cangzhao's business, and the Cangzhao family was kind to these people.
But politicians and businessmen are two groups that value profit over affection.
Under the trend of the times, it is undoubtedly impossible to ask these traitors and profiteers who collude closely with officials and businessmen to intercede.
Such an active participation in the Hou Mansion also has a strong impetus beyond the consideration of interests.
Hatred of the "rich" is not the patent and responsibility of the poor, and it is not the strongest, most enthusiastic and best thing of the poor.
The rich, powerful, and gangster characters hate the "rich" even more.
Because in their circle, they can more deeply feel the cruel hierarchical division formed by the gap between money, power, and status, and they love face more, or they need face more.
Then you have to ruthlessly step on the same kind of people and highlight yourself.
The grass people hate the rich, but they are just muttering a few words in their hearts to be indignant, and there are very few people who dare to commit murder and take action, and there is no power and effective means to make trouble.
The upper strata of society, rich and powerful, have a variety of means to choose from, black and white. The competition is cruel, the big fish eat the small fish, and if you eat it, you can swallow it clean.
If you want to stand tall, if you want to squeeze into the upper level of security and majesty, you hate the "rich", and those who are keen to step on the "rich", especially those who trample on everyone like Cangzhao are inevitable.
There's no chance, and when there's a chance, aren't everyone as excited as a chicken?
Moreover, there is no risk in this, and there are huge potential benefits.
At the very least, in a country where power is everything, we must not take the wrong side at a critical moment and take a clear stand.
If this matter is too big, Wen Chenghou wants to be unrelenting, and he can blame it as an ignorant joke in the Yanya.
Zhao Gonglian is no longer popular, and he will be unlucky at any time.
There are so many powerful people behind the people who come to participate in the auction, no matter how embarrassed the Hou Mansion is, the court will not really ask for the guilt.
They have confidence.
