I introduced someone to Aiqing, and this time he partnered with Aiqing and accompanied Aiqing to the north. ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Cai still said in his heart: "It's here." ”

During the two Song dynasties, the Zhao and Song courts and the emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties could never really rest assured of a military general, nor could they really completely put the military power into the hands of a military general, and they would set up countless constraints in the process of commanding the generals.

And one of the biggest constraints is the prison army.

The military supervisor is not a fixed position, they are all temporary appointments, they represent the imperial court to assist in military affairs, and supervise the generals.

Their role is to monitor and supervise the armed forces, and to be more specific, to supervise military commanders, they do not have the right to command and make decisions on the battlefield.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sima Sui Tho cut off the head of the prison army Zhuang Jia without the slightest hesitation or hesitation - the power of the prison army at that time was not so great, and the army was still the commander.

But as time passed, the overseers gained more and more power in the army, and finally had the power of life and death, and even the power to abolish the commander.

So, when did the prison army start to change its authority, and when did it grasp the power of life and death?

This actually started from the Tang Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, when he abandoned the courtiers and used them, but used nondescript eunuchs to serve as supervisors, that is, since the eunuchs were eunuchs, the power of the eunuchs has been infinitely magnified.

Tang Xuanzong came to power in a coup d'état, so he was very sensitive to the possession and distribution of power, in the early stage of his reign, the prime minister never used it for a long time, not to mention these ministers, it was a bit of a storm, and he immediately unjustly killed his three sons.

It can be seen how suspicious Tang Xuanzong is.

But although Tang Xuanzong was suspicious, he trusted the eunuchs very much.

In fact, there is also a reason why Tang Xuanzong trusts the eunuchs - the eunuchs have no queen, and all power comes from their master, the emperor, so the loyalty of the eunuchs is often higher.

Since then, the eunuchs have not changed until the Qing Dynasty was abolished and became the minister of the Imperial Mission.

To tell the truth, most of the eunuchs supervising the army are self-defeating martial arts.

Due to the difference in background and educational background, as well as the influence of the disabled physiological structure on personality psychology, coupled with the delicate relationship between eunuchs and imperial power in politics, the special group of eunuchs is usually more unprincipled than ordinary scholars and scholars, more focused on self-interest, and more likely to do some shady things.

The same is true when the prison army, with the popularity of the emperor's side, and the emperor's favor, these eunuchs especially like to act as substitutes, and often replace the generals to obtain actual command.

And it is one thing for a eunuch to be in power in the palace, and another thing to be in power on the battlefield.

Just imagine, most eunuchs see concubines competing for favor and women fighting every day, how have they ever seen the bloodshed on the battlefield?

Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighters are fleeting, so the eunuchs take the set of managing the harem to the battlefield to use, how can there be any reason not to defeat the battle?

You must know that not all eunuchs are Tong Guan, and the vast majority of eunuchs are not as good as Tan Zhi and Liang Fangping.

Therefore, Cai is still very disgusted with these eunuchs supervising the army.

But Cai still knows that it is impossible not to let Zhao Ji send a prison army - not to mention him, a young and strong normal person, even Tong Guan, an old eunuch who is almost seventy, to recover Yanyun, Zhao Ji will send a Cai You to keep an eye on, what more is he?

Therefore, even if Cai still disliked the prison army, he had to smile and said: "Welcome until, the official family doesn't know anything, and before he goes on the expedition, he will smash a big mess over, making the ministers busy, and the ministers are lacking a capable helper." ”

Zhao Ji scolded with a smile: "Don't pretend to be welcome, I still don't know the careful thoughts of you generals." ”

Cai still smiled bitterly: "Let the officials see it, who wants to be restrained." ”

Another emperor may care about such words, but Zhao Ji will not, in his opinion, this is a sign of the courtier's closeness to him, so not only did he not care, but also said: "It's not to let you tie your hands, it's to let you make fewer mistakes." ”

Cai still said: "No." The minister must cooperate with this eunuch. ”

Cai still said again: "I just don't know who this capital eunuch is?" Is it Grandpa Tan? Or Liang's father-in-law? ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "It's not, Aiqing guessed wrong." ”

Cai was really stunned this time, and he subconsciously said, "Aren't they?" ”

You must know that the eunuchs that Zhao Song can fight now are Tong Guan, Tan Zhen, and Liang Fangping.

And the battle to recover Yanyun is very important, in Cai still wants to come, Zhao Ji should not get a eunuch who does not know how to serve and does not have enough prestige to supervise the army, after all, this eunuch is the existence of the same level as Cai Ying, and when necessary, this eunuch can take over the command from Cai Ying's hands, in the case that Tong Guan cannot serve as this eunuch, there is really no one more suitable than Tan Zhi and Liang Fangping.

Cai still couldn't help but ask: "It's not Father-in-law Tan and Father-in-law Liang, which father-in-law is that?" ”

Zhao Ji didn't answer Cai Yan, but pointed to the door and said, "He's here." ”

Cai still followed the direction of Zhao Ji's finger and looked at it, and then blurted out with a stunned face: "Huang Gonggong! ”

Huang Gonggong, that is, the chamberlain Huang Jingchen, said with a smile: "I will have to make trouble for my uncle in the future." ”

As soon as Huang Jingchen spoke, Cai still knew that he would not be wrong, and it was this Huang Gonggong who looked harmless to humans and animals who served as the capital eunuch for him.

Immediately, Cai was even more stunned!

Huang Jingchen is an old eunuch who is currently very favored by Zhao Ji, and Cai still has a few contacts with him, and has some understanding of him, knowing that he is Tong Guan's cronies and has accompanied Tong Guan on an expedition to Tibet.

But although Huang Jingchen has the experience of joining the army, he has not shown that he has any talent for commanding the army, and he is almost sixty years old, not young.

In addition, although Huang Jingchen is not young and is favored by Zhao Ji, his official rank is not high.

Therefore, Cai still really didn't expect that it would be Huang Jingchen who would serve as the capital supervisor for him.

Actually-

What Cai still didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Ji didn't send Tan Zhi or Liang Fangping to serve him as the capital eunuch and chose Huang Jingchen to serve him as the capital eunuch was suggested by Tong Guan.

Tong Guan's original words were: "The official family, whether it is Tan Jiedu's envoy or Liang's general manager, it is impossible to really supervise the champion uncle, send them to cooperate with the champion uncle, they will only be co-opted and assimilated by the champion uncle, and they will not be able to play the role of supervision at all. ”

And the person Tong Guan said was Huang Jingchen.

If Cai still heard what Tong Guan said, he would definitely give Tong Guan a thumbs up and say from the bottom of his heart: "Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

That's right.

If the eunuch of Zhao Ji's faction is Tan Zhi or Liang Fangping, Cai is still not worried at all, he definitely has countless ways to deal with them, and the worst can also make people slash Tan Zhi and Liang Fangping with one knife, he won't even blink his eyes.

But the object is Huang Jingchen, which really makes Cai still a little clueless.

In the former Han and Tang dynasties, he died by eunuchs.

Out or used, rarely the first trouble.

Huang Gong is a unique and high-minded person.

White-haired and pious, he will be admonished when he hears it.

Tried his best to fight in the east city, and died with his body.

The name is not polished, and it will be rejuvenated forever.

Historically, after capturing the Xuanhua Gate of Bianliang City in Tokyo, the Jin army continued to attack the Tongjin Gate (i.e., the East Water Gate) eastward along the city wall. Along the way, the buildings were all set on fire by the Jin soldiers. The fire shone in the sky, illuminating the whole city red.

At that time, the soldiers of the Song army guarding the East Water Gate saw that the fire was spreading rapidly by the momentum of the wind, and they all abandoned the city and fled for their lives.

There is only one person who refuses to escape, and that person is Huang Jingchen.

At that time, Huang Jingchen, as the envoy of the Baode Army, was assigned by Song Qinzong to supervise the east wall.

Seeing that the east wall was lost and the soldiers were defeated, Huang Jingchen looked at the majestic palace in the city from afar, and couldn't help crying, he knew that he was powerless to save the country, so he threw himself into the fire and died.

The eunuchs of the Song Huizong era bathed in the emperor's grace deeply.

However, the only eunuch who could repay the country with death in that national disaster was Huang Jingchen.

It can be seen how loyal Huang Jingchen is to Zhao Song.

Faced with a person who is not even afraid of death for Zhao Song, how can Cai still deal with him?

The key is that Cai still respects Huang Jingchen from the bottom of his heart, and asked him to cut Tan Zhi and Liang Fangping, two national sinners, he will not even hesitate, and if it is to cut Huang Jingchen...... This determination, Cai is still not easy to make.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Cai Ying hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Welcome to Huang Dujian, we will be brothers who eat in a pot in the future." ”

When Huang Jingchen heard this, he was stunned!

Zhao Ji was also a little stunned!

Seeing this, Cai still explained: "This is a phrase that our Jin Wujun often says when welcoming newcomers. ”

Zhao Ji suddenly realized!

Zhao Ji said again: "By the way, Aiqing, when are you and the daughter of the Zhu family going to get married?" ”

Cai still said in his heart: "After all, I still can't escape the level of handing over hostages!" ”

Cai still did not resist, he said: "It is all up to the official family." ”

Zhao Ji was not polite, and said directly: "As soon as this battle starts, I don't know when it will end, the daughter of the Zhu family is not small, and Aiqing can't always drag her like this, according to me, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and you will get married before the year." ”

Cai Yi, who deeply understood Zhao Ji's intentions, could only agree to what else he could say: "No." ”

Zhao Ji said again: "By the way, does Aiqing have three sons?" ”

Cai still closed his eyes and replied, "The minister has three sons. ”

endured and endured, endured and endured, Cai still couldn't hold back, and added: "They are all less than three months old, and they are still in infancy." ”

Cai still thought that by saying this, he would be able to make Zhao Ji soft-hearted and not let his three sons be hostages.

Pity!

Cai still thought too much, Zhao Ji didn't even hesitate, and said: "When Aiqing and the daughter of the Zhu family got married, bring them to me to see, my Huafu Emperor Ji and Qingfu Emperor Ji are about the same age as Aiqing's three sons, and I am happy to marry Aiqing." ”

If it were another time, Cai would still think, Lao Tzu slept with your three daughters, and you want to marry one daughter to my son, isn't this a mess.

But at this moment, Cai still has no such thoughts, all he has is a strong reluctance and a father's guilt......
