Cai Quan is a smart person.

It's just that his intelligence is limited.

He didn't understand it at all, the person who wanted to move him was not Su Niang at all, but Cai Yi, otherwise how could Su Niang, a weak woman with no power and no power, beat him?

Of course, this is also related to Cai Quan's perception of Cai Ying.

In Cai Quan's eyes, Cai is still the simple boy he used to be, it is impossible to have such a mind, and the reason why Cai is still treating him like this is completely bewitched by Su Niang, a "scheming".

Cai Quan never thought that it was because Cai still wanted to alienate him and take back the vital financial power from him, so he lost to Su Niang.

After instructing Cai Quan and Su Niang to hand over the money and account books, Cai still went to the fourth child of the Cai family, which is Cai Sui's residence.

This Cai Qian is also a very not simple person, not to mention that he used Cai Jing's name in history to preside over a period of government at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, only to say that the two books he left behind, "Western Qing Poetry" and "Tiewei Mountain Cong Tan", the former is a collection of high-level commentary poetry works, and the latter is an important historical material for the study of the Song Dynasty - Cai is still mastered by the Song Dynasty, and many of them are obtained from Cai Sui's "Western Qing Poems" and "Tiewei Mountain Cong Tan".

When I watched "Tiewei Mountain Cong Talk" for the first time, Cai was still like a treasure, so after meeting Cai Juan, the author of "Tiewei Mountain Silk Talk", Cai was still a little excited!

Seeing this, Cai Qian quipped: "Why, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and the sixth brother thinks of me like this?" ”

It turns out -

After the original Cai still lived in Mingluan Hall, Cai Qian came to see Cai Yi once, and also simply entertained Cai Yi on behalf of Cai's mansion.

Therefore, the original Cai still had actually seen Cai Qian before.

It's just that after seeing it that time, Cai Xuan, who thinks very highly of himself, thinks that the original Cai is still good at learning, but he is too dull and wooden, and it is difficult to become atmospheric, so he no longer has contact with the original Cai Zhen.

In fact, there is also part of the reason for the original Cai Ying - because of the dispute between Cai Jing and Cai Bian, although he lived in Mingluan Hall, the original Cai still deliberately kept a distance from the Cai family, and even had a little hostility, which made Cai Xuan, who was already not very cold to Cai, even more unwilling to waste time on Cai Ying.

Let's put it this way, if Cai still doesn't cross, then the original Cai is still in a pot with the Cai family.

Because Cai still appeared to save Zhao Fujin, beat Cai Ying, and won the approval of Cai Jing and Cai Zhen, Cai Qian invited Cai Ying to come to the house again.

Cai still gave a salute and said: "I really miss the fourth brother, the last time I talked with the fourth brother, the younger brother was deeply touched, and recently I also specially read the fourth brother's "Xiqing Poems". ”

Cai Qian was surprised: "The sixth brother read my "Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty"? ”

Cai still said: "After the last time I separated from the fourth brother, the younger brother sent someone to buy the fourth brother's "Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty", and has been reading this book in addition to the scientific examination, and has now finished reading it. ", the younger brother thought so.

The old party, also known as the Yuanyou party, is a political faction that opposes the reform of the law, specifically, it refers to a group of ministers appointed by the Empress Dowager Gao during the Yuan You period, and they are headed by Sima Guang, including Su Shi, Su Zhe, Huang Tingjian and others, who are very famous in later generations, and they completely abolished Wang Anshi's reform.

In opposition to the Yuanyou Party was the faction that supported the reform of the law during the Yuanfeng period of Song Shenzong, and the people of the time called them the Yuanfeng Party, also known as the New Party, and the Cai family, including Cai Bian, were all members of the New Party with distinct labels.

After Song Zhezong took office, he used the new party constitution as a minister, comprehensively restored the new law and new policy, and severely cracked down on the old party, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Huang Tingjian and others were exiled.

At the beginning of Zhao Ji's succession to the throne of Song Huizong, when he lowered the curtain to the empress dowager to listen to the government, he used the old party people, and the old party people returned to the court.

When Empress Dowager Xiang died, the struggle between the old and new parties was very fierce.

Zhao Ji originally wanted to reconcile the two parties and take the middle way, but later he found that this road did not work at all.

As a last resort, Zhao Ji appointed Cai Jing, a member of the New Party, as the prime minister, and insisted on changing the law all the way.

After Cai Jing came to power, he vigorously cracked down on the old party figures.

At Cai Jing's request, Zhao Ji decreed: All officials who belonged to the old party, who were alive, would be demoted and exiled; Those who died were all stripped of their official titles, and the children and grandchildren of the old party members were not allowed to stay in Beijing, nor were they allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

Later, Cai Jing asked Zhao Ji to place the names of these three hundred and nine people on the east wall of the Duanli Gate of the Wende Palace, and broadcast it to the world, "Forever the ring of the courtiers of all generations", and the people listed on the tablet will never be hired.

This is the so-called "Yuanyou Party Monument".

Cai Jing also followed Zhao Ji's decree to handwrite the names of the Yuanyou party members and sent them to all prefectures and counties, asking all localities to follow the example of Jingshi to erect monuments to promote evil.

It can be said that Cai Jing's attack on the old party is ruthless - there may be an element of venting personal anger, but the main thing is actually to clear the obstacles to the reform of the law.

But Cai Qian is a strange flower, he is the son of Cai Jing, obviously he should be a member of the New Party, but he has great respect for Su Shi and Huang Jianting, the banner figures of the old party, and he also wrote his admiration for Su Shi and Huang Jianting into his book, that is, in "Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty".

This also leads to the fact that although the Cai family is powerful at this time, Cai Qian's career at this time is not very smooth - he only has a dispensable idle position, not so much that he is an official in the imperial court, but that the imperial court is looking for a reason to pay him some salary and let him eat some empty salary.

Career or something, not to mention, because of his background, as long as Cai Qian is willing to change, he will be able to climb to the pinnacle of power sooner or later.

It's just that the current Cai Qian is not willing to change, and resolutely becomes a fan of Su Shi and Huang Jianting.

As a result, Cai Qian could not find any resonance among the new party members.

And because he is Cai Jing's son, he can't communicate with the old party.

This also made Cai Qian a little depressed.

Therefore, listening to Cai Ying, the grandson of Wang Anshi and the son of Cai Bian, also admired the poems of Su Shi and Huang Jianting, Cai Qian suddenly seemed to have found like-minded people.

Cai Qian immediately became enthusiastic and said, "The sixth brother also likes the poems of Su Dongpo and the Yellow Valley?" ”

Cai still said: "Aside from the political position, only talk about literary literacy, the two of them, especially Su Dongpo, are definitely the undisputed literary masters, his "Water Tune Song Head", suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is hanging down, a blue and boundless, the river is surging, the Russian moon is picturesque, and then climbed the wonderful peak of Jinshan Mountain, poetry, people are more unique, it is really a fairy in the world, Mid-Autumn Festival words, since Dongpo "Water Tune Song Head" came out, the rest of the words are wasted. ”

Cai Qian clapped his hands fiercely and said: "Yes, the characters in the article, sincerity is once in a thousand years, and what will the future world gain?" ”

In just a few words, Cai Qian introduced Cai Yi as a confidant, he grabbed Cai Zhen's arm, and said: "I have a few authentic paintings of Su Dongpo and the Yellow Valley here, and I will appreciate them with my sixth brother!" ”

While speaking, Cai Qian couldn't wait to take Cai Ying to his study......
