Hearing that the imperial court was hospitably entertaining the golden envoys, and that they were going to send Cai Ying to take the golden envoys to the Fan Tower on the first floor of the Great Song Dynasty to have a look, Cai Jing immediately dragged his elderly body into the palace to ask to see Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji didn't know why, and he didn't know why Cai Jing suddenly entered the palace, but he still invited the important minister he once relied on the most to come in as soon as possible.

After Cai Jing entered the main hall, Zhao Ji soon found that Cai Jing's legs and feet were becoming more and more unfavorable, so he asked the little eunuch to bring a chair to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing is very grateful for this.

After Cai Jing sat down, Zhao Ji took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what happened when Lao Aiqing entered the palace?" ”

Cai Jing stood up and said, "When the ancestors were very particular about the etiquette of foreign envoys, they were very measured, and they never showed extravagance, so as not to arouse their greed. Now, Wang Dazai actually entertained the golden envoy and took the golden envoy to Fanlou. If this continues, the state affairs are worried! The old minister risked his life to admonish, please don't use the minister to deal with the major affairs of the military state. ”

After speaking, Cai Jing knelt down, and at the same time burst into tears.

Cai Jing's words made Zhao Ji realize that he might have committed a big taboo.

But—

Zhao Liangsi has already informed the Jin envoy that Cai will still accompany them to the Fan Tower tonight, the wood has been completed, and it is irretrievable, so it can only be taken as a warning, not an example.

Zhao Ji said: "Taishi Cai is reasonable, I know that they did not handle this matter properly, and the etiquette of the Jin envoy is excessive, beyond the convention, and too much, and it will be harmful." ”

Cai Jing can be said to have watched Zhao Ji grow up, and he knows Zhao Ji too well, knowing that since Zhao Ji said such a thing, there is no possibility of changing this matter.

This made Cai Jing, who was already powerless, a little helpless!

Cai Jing only stood for a short while, and his legs trembled very much.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji said: "Lao Aiqing has bad legs and feet, so there is no need to be polite, just sit and say something." ”

Cai Jing was so moved that he knelt down again to thank him, but was pulled by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji said: "We are not only monarchs and ministers, but also a family of in-laws, and it is reasonable for you and me to sit opposite each other." ”

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, on this hall, there are only monarchs and ministers, nothing else, Your Majesty pity the old minister's dying body, Hong En sits, and the old minister is grateful." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Although Lao Aiqing has paid tribute, he is still worried about the world and thinking about national affairs, and I am very moved. I have understood the matter of receiving the golden envoy, please don't read it. After all, the master is close to old age, and in the future, it is better to work less and maintain more, and take care of his old age. ”

Zhao Ji turned his head and said, "By the way, does Lao Aiqing know what happened between Maode and the child Er?" Why is she messing around with Chongde and Xunde? ”

Zhao Ji talked about this, Cai Jing also smiled bitterly, he said: "I don't know why, the emperor Ji since eleven months ago left home and moved to live behind the Great Xiangguo Temple, and never came back, the old minister once asked the dog where to offend the emperor, but the dog said that he and the emperor have always respected each other and did not offend the emperor, but the emperor just avoided him, and then the old minister asked the concubine Taohong to find the emperor a few times, but she didn't even see the face of the emperor, and was sent back by the emperor's maid. ”

Zhao Fujin is beautiful, gentle and graceful, and is the most beautiful of Zhao Ji's group of daughters, and Zhao Ji's favorite is this daughter.

Cai Yan young man is polite and talented, when the Xuanhe Palace was to be systematized, he loves calligraphy and painting, and Zhao Ji likes it very much.

Zhao Ji originally thought that this was a match made in heaven.

It's okay, they came together, and it was only a little more than a year before something like this happened.

Zhao Ji also has a headache!

After a while, Zhao Ji said: "Then after I am busy for this time, bring Mao De to ask." ”

Cai Jing chatted with Zhao Ji for a long time before saying goodbye to Zhao Ji and returning home.

As soon as he arrived home, Cai Jing called Cai Qian and asked him to invite Cai Ying.

Cai still has a good relationship with Cai Jing's family, and from time to time he comes to Mingluan Hall to eat, and he has a better relationship with Cai Xuan, and when Cai Xuan is fine, he will go to Cai Ying's place to go around.

Cai Jing was happy to see this, and faintly included Cai Ying's party in his own sphere of influence.

This is also one of the reasons why Cai Jing has been active again recently.

Although he is already seventy and almost eighty, Cai Jing's mind has never died, and he feels that although he is not young, he can still be the prime minister for another ten years.

Now with Cai Zhen's support, Cai Jing feels that he already has the strength to regain phase.

It's just—

Cai Ying and Wang Hao are both in favor of the recovery of Yanyun, while Cai Jing is against the recovery of Yanyun.

This prevented Cai and Cai Jing from fully uniting.

But—

Because Cai Ying's authority is getting heavier and heavier, because Cai Jing still has a lot of talent resources in his hands, and because the two sides are kinship, the relationship between the two sides is still very close, hmm...... It can also be said that Cai Jing has been trying his best to win over Cai Ying.

For this reason, Cai Jing himself and Cai Jing's party have contributed a lot to the matter of Cai still recruiting civil officials and literati.

Although there was still something important to do in the evening, Cai still came over as soon as he learned that Cai Jing was going to see him.

As soon as they met, Cai still said affectionately: "Uncle, do you have something to look for me?" ”

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Accompany me to the next game." ”

Cai still smiled: "It just so happens that the little nephew's chess addiction is also committed." ”

The maid brought a chessboard and chess pieces.

Guess.

Cai still insists that white go first.

Cai still put a son cleanly.

Seeing this, Cai Jing also slowly put down his son.

In this way, you and I have about a dozen hands, Cai Jing said: "Go to Fanlou to entertain the golden envoy at night?" ”

Cai still gave a shot and said, "The court hopes that I will deter the golden envoys, lest they gain an inch." ”

Cai Jing said: "Wang Hao's step is right, since he has aroused the greed of his allies, he must show his allies strong force, so that they will not dare to act rashly even if they are ready to move." ”

The two went down for a while, and Cai Jing said, "Do you want to continue to fight with Tong Guan?" ”

Cai is still very politically sensitive, and it is not for nothing that Cai still raised a large number of outstanding staff members such as Li Gang and Li Guang.

The point is that the several intelligence departments in Cai's hands were not established in vain.

Although Cai still didn't know about the soul-deep conversation between Tong Guan and Zhao Ji two days ago, the secret agent that Cai was still planting beside Tong Guan had already reported the idea that Tong Guan's staff gave Tong Guan to Cai Ying, in other words, Cai still vaguely knew what cards Tong Guan was going to play, and even vaguely knew that Tong Guan was going to deal with some of his strategies.

I have to say that although Cai is still running fast enough in the past two or three years, his background is still far from being able to challenge Tong Guan, if it weren't for the fact that Fang La's uprising broke nearly half of the Western Army and the Shengjie Army that caught Tong Guan off guard, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to Tong Guan.

What's more, Tong Guan has two advantages that Cai will never be able to match - Lao He is a eunuch.

Let's not talk about it, this is a problem that Cai still can't solve.

As for the eunuchs, Cai still can't go to the palace in order to fight with Tong Guan, right?

But although he vaguely felt that he might not be able to compete with Tong Guan, Cai still firmly gave off and said, "Fight." ”

Cai Jing didn't say anything more, just continued to play chess with Cai Ying.

As he went down, Cai still spent more and more time pondering, but Cai Jing was still calm.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if Cai Jing deliberately laid it out.

When the game reached the middle game, the situation of black and white was almost the same as the situation that Cai is still facing now.

Seeing this, Cai still stubbornly controlled his white son to kill to the left, hoping to fight his way out of the encirclement, and then connect with a piece of white that he had laid down for a long time in the distance, and then destroy Cai Jing's sunspot in one fell swoop.

But Cai Jing was blocking the white dragon on Cai Ying's left as a rock, and on the other hand, he was looking for Cai Ying's weakness on the right side, and he was biting steadily and fiercely.

After fighting for a while, Cai still finally broke out of Cai Jing's encirclement, and got his wish to connect with a piece of white that he had laid for a long time in the distance.

But Cai was still not happy at all, because he lost - just when Cai was still desperate to rush forward, Cai Jing had already killed him silently.

Cai still looked at the chessboard and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long later, Cai Jing's voice sounded: "Do you know why you lost?" ”

Cai still raised his head to look at Cai Jing and said, "Please advise uncle." ”

Cai Jing said: "Those who want to achieve great things must keep in mind four words. ”

Cai still asked, "Which four words?" ”

Cai Jing paused word by word and said, "Take advantage of the trend." ”

"Go with the flow?"

Cai still woke up like a dream!

Yes.

For a long time, in Cai Yi's heart, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son are incompetent, Zhao Song is bound to die, if he doesn't make a move, Jingkang's shame will inevitably happen.

But now that I think about it, if it weren't for Zhao Song's repeated mistakes in the process of recovering Yanyun, if Zhao Ji hadn't passed the throne to Zhao Huan, who was as stupid as a pig, if it wasn't for Zhao Huan's constant war and vacillation in the process of the Jin people going south, would the Northern Song Dynasty be able to perish?

Cai still tried his best to suppress his prejudice against the Northern Song Dynasty, and then tried to analyze this matter from the perspective of a bystander.

As a result, Cai still easily came to a conclusion that the Northern Song Dynasty should not die, at least not so quickly, and not so humiliatingly.

To tell the truth, although Zhao Ji has not tossed lightly over the years, the heritage of the Zhao and Song dynasties is too deep, so deep that unless Zhao Ji's monarchs and ministers continue to make mistakes in the process of recovering Yanyun as in history, and Zhao Huan hastened to take over the throne of his son Zhao Ji as in history, some important measures to save the country are not adopted, and some important strategies to mislead the country are all adopted, and the Jin State, which has just completed the snake swallowing elephant and destroying the Liao State, will not be able to destroy Zhao Song at all.

After all, in history, the original purpose of the Jin people going south was just because Zhao Song repeatedly talked and didn't count and always made small moves behind his back and wanted to teach Zhao Song a lesson, and their most ambitious goal was just to row the Yellow River with Zhao Song and rule, and later crossed the Yellow River, just to show off their might, and the idea was to grab the point and leave.

It was Zhao Huan's faint moves that forced the Jin people to hit under Bianliang City in Tokyo, and only then did the Jin people break the outer city of Bianliang City like a dream, and then completed the shame of Jingkang without blood.

And if Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan didn't make a stupid move like in history, even if they only woke up in a few major decisions, then Zhao Song might not have perished with the shame of Jingkang as in history.

That...... If Zhao Song is not so dead, how can he replace it, and can the people of the world recognize themselves, the former courtier of Zhao Song, as their new emperor?

Bucking the trend, can I Cai still overthrow Zhao Song?
