…

Cai still thinks simply, he thinks things simple, and Cai You thinks about it simply.

Cai still didn't expect that for Cai You, such a simple thing would be rejected because he didn't want to upset Zhao Ji.

I have to say that Cai You is too selfish, he only has his own future in his eyes, and he has no interests of the family at all.

This may also be one of the reasons why the Cai family fell apart later.

But then again, it may be precisely because of this that Cai Youwen was not successful and martial arts, and finally sat in the high position of the privy envoy and became one of the governors of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As for Cai You's final choice for Cai Ying, that is, to let Cai still go to the forbidden army as a commander and build a battalion of soldiers and horses, even Cai Yi couldn't stand it anymore.

Commanding such a petty officer, usually from the eighth rank, even if it is high, it is also the eighth rank, and it is a low-level military attache between the small envoy and the ambassador, unless it is to serve as an honor guard for the emperor, it is impossible to reach the seventh rank.

Usually, in the case of not making meritorious contributions, it takes five years of grinding and transfer (that is, relying on time to be promoted) before he can be promoted to Xiuwulang (ambassador's inner temple Chongban) from the seventh rank.

If you want to be promoted to the seventh rank of martial arts doctors, you have to stay up for another seven years.

And if Cai still doesn't turn into a military attaché, even if he doesn't rely on the Cai family, with his good score of fourth place in this department, he can directly start from the civil official of the seventh grade, and take the exam every three years, as long as he has a good certificate, he can easily cross the seventh grade, if the Cai family intervenes a little, Cai can still directly start from the civil official of the seventh grade.

Counting it again, the noble and the martial arts are cheap.

Cai You can definitely be described as "mean" to Cai.

Not only did Cai Cheng think so, but after Cai You told Zhao Ji what he did, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say: "Cai is still your second uncle Cai Bian's only bloodline after all, isn't it a bit too much for you to do?" ”

Cai You said: "The official family doesn't know anything, and it is precisely because Cai is still the only bloodline of my second uncle that I did this." ”

Zhao Ji was a little puzzled: "What is the reason? ”

Cai You explained: "Cai is still a kid who doesn't know where to learn some martial arts, so he wants to join the army, and he doesn't listen to anyone's advice. And Cai is still this kid not only wants to go to the battlefield, but also wants to lead the troops alone, and he also looks down on our army of the Great Song Dynasty, and wants to form an army by himself, and regards our army of the Great Song Dynasty as a child's play, so I told Captain Gao to let him build a battalion of soldiers and horses by himself to beat him, and when he can't bear the hard work, he will come back and start honestly and down-to-earth from a low-level civilian official. ”

Hearing Cai You say this, Zhao Ji somewhat understood Cai You's good intentions, and he said: "Since he likes to practice martial arts, why don't you go to Jingluo to pacify the Division?" ”

Since ancient times, there have been civilian officials who want to transform into military attaches who want to go to the battlefield to establish military merits, and the Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature, which provided these civil officials with a channel for civilian to military positions.

But—

After these literati went to the battlefield, they did not lead the army to fight, but played the role of military advisors, a bit like the staff officers of later generations.

However, unlike the staff officers, these literati can not only make plans and arrange troops, but also control the military generals (military generals can also suppress the civil servants, and they can both clamp each other to prevent the army from falling into someone's hands to breed someone's ambitions).

It can be said that the system of economic and strategic pacification is a preferential treatment for civilian officials, which can not only satisfy the dream of literati to guide the country and rebuke Fang Xuan, but also quickly help literati to become officials and become knights - of course, the premise is that you can have good talents and give full play to your talents on the battlefield.

Zhao Ji couldn't figure it out, why didn't Cai still take this fast lane, but chose to completely transfer to the martial arts?

Cai You said: "This is also where the minister can't figure it out, how generous the policies given by the official family are, it can be said that they are comprehensive, but Cai is still that kid has to be a martial artist." ”

After a pause, Cai You said again: "Maybe my second uncle left too early, so he developed such a rebellious character." ”

It's okay -

Cai You took care of him and Cai still surnamed Cai, and Cai still didn't hate him, so he didn't step on Cai still to death, and he said: "Not long ago, he wrote a poem, 'Drunk to pick up the lamp and look at the sword, and dream back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. I don't want to live this life! This poem may be what he is after. ”

Zhao Ji listened to it and praised it: "Good poem!" Good poetry! I don't want Cai Yi, this kid to be able to make such good poems! ”

Cai You said: "He wrote more than this good poem, can the official family know that the most sung Mulan poem "Life is only as first seen"? ”

Zhao Ji said: "However, if life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. ’？ ”

Cai You said: "The official family also knows this poem? ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "My ears are almost hearing the cocoon, the palace is singing everywhere, I just want to ask ...... this Cai Ziyin"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji reacted and said, "Cai Ziyin is Cai Ying?" ”

Cai You said: "Isn't it him?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "His literary talent is so outstanding? ”

Cai You said: "This is also the main reason why I beat him, with his talent, as long as he gives up those unrealistic dreams and pursuits, and starts from scratch in a down-to-earth manner, he will definitely be able to become a generation of famous ministers, a generation of capable ministers, and even may surpass my second uncle, and write a heavy stroke in history." ”

Zhao Ji listened to Cai You's good intentions and said, "Your second uncle has gone ......."

Zhao Ji wanted to say, "Your second uncle left early." But Zhao Ji thought about it carefully, Cai Bian also lived to be in his seventies, and he didn't die early, so he changed his words: "In short, you have to take care of him more and educate him well, just like educating your eldest son Cai Xing, to make him a pillar of the country." ”

Cai You responded: "No." ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, does Cai still accept the arrangement you gave him?" ”

Cai You said leisurely: "He hasn't suffered yet, how can he be obedient?" He couldn't wait to go to Yangwu County in the morning to take office. ”
