Cai Jing, who has been arrogant for half his life, hates Geng Nanzhong for doing bad things to him, but unfortunately he is helpless.

He can't cure Geng, who has the absolute support of the new emperor.

This made Cai Jing feel gloomy and frightened about the future.

At the same time, Cai Jing became more and more contemptuous of the political wisdom and quality of the new emperor Zhao Huan and the right minister Geng Nanzhong.

For Zhao Yue's unexpected entry into Beijing and wanton arrogance and murder, the emperor and the conceited Geng Nanzhong both wanted to take the buckle as a hostage but did not dare to act easily, hesitating and not knowing how to decide what was the right and most beneficial......

If he, Cai Jing, can influence the new emperor to be the master as he did in the past, if the emperor is willing to listen to his opinions, the Zhao Yue incident, although extremely unexpected, has never happened in the history of the dynasty such a daring and adventurous strange thing, how to deal with it has no precedent to follow, but it is not difficult to deal with it properly, and it is even easier for him Cai Jing.

What to hesitate about?

There is nothing to be afraid of.

Just immediately issue an order to summon Zhao Yue into the palace for an audience.

Since the people of Cangzhao came to Beijing at this sensitive moment, they must have a political mission, and whether Zhao Gonglian is honest or not, the envoy will obey the edict to see the emperor and observe the situation.

As long as Cangzhao's people enter the palace, is it Zhao Yue himself who came to Beijing and what he is doing...... Is it decisively taken hostage, or does it choose to appease and give preferential treatment........ Detaining Zhao Yue in the palace, everything is carried out in the palace, it is too easy to solve, the initiative is in the hands of the imperial court, and a series of problems caused by the entry of the Zhao people into Beijing are not a problem, and they can be solved.

But Zhao Huan, the mentally handicapped emperor, and Geng Nanzhong, who was conceited and scheming no worse than anyone else, couldn't even think of this means, and they still had the face to be the emperor and the prime minister to fight with Zhao Gonglian......

The more Cai Jing thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and his mood was so gloomy that he almost exploded.

He has played politics all his life, he has never experienced any storms and waves, he has never felt so powerless and so pessimistic, full of frustration, horror, resentment, and murder......

Zhang Bangchang and other powerful ministers who also got the news of King Fu's bad luck also changed color and trembled like Cai Jing....... Accidents are frequent, and the situation seems to be out of control.....

The privy envoy Tong Guan was standing in the duty room at this time, his face was iron-blue, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his fists were subconsciously clenched.

He is the privy envoy, and he is the only one who can be appointed by the imperial court with confidence, and the old emperor Zhao Ji is now the most relied on by the old emperor Zhao Ji to have a hard-working and talented military strategist and confidant in charge of the army, and he is the most powerful and influential senior official in the Great Song Dynasty since its establishment....... Even if Gao Yu, the commander of the Capital Military Region, who is still favored by the old emperor and whose military power and real power status is only below him, can only respectfully abide by his duties in the face of his old qualifications such as those who have a solid background, the ability to truly unify the army, and the real prestige in the army, and dare not disobey his will and insist on making his own decisions in any major affairs of the court and politics; Cai Jing, the hottest old thief, also has to respect him a little, and everything is done with him. Under such a prestige, as soon as he got the news of Zhao Yue's entry into Beijing, he had already decisively ordered him to go down as soon as possible, and he must not deal with Zhao Yue and his party without authorization, but someone was bold enough to do it without permission, and the mastermind of the move was precisely behind the gate, and it was the people in the military field he was in charge of, what is this?

This is equivalent to slapping him in the face in front of the Manchu civil and military.

Even if the founding lord has always been a hereditary rich pig and watchdog specially trained and cared for by the emperor's family, it is a special line of people specially used by the royal family to weigh the weight of the imperial court, and the composition of the personnel structure always maintains the balance of power so that the emperor can firmly control the power, and it is the best dog used by the royal family, even if the Cao family is playing yin against Zhao Yue according to the royal secret decree, it is also a disregard for his Tong Guan's might.

If there is an imperial order, I have to do it, and the Cao family can at least come over in advance to say hello and explain, and let him Tong Guan be prepared in advance.

However, there was no greeting.

actually didn't reveal any news in advance, and said that he would do it himself, did the Cao family and related people still have the least respect for him Tong Guan in their hearts?

This is a provocation, an absolute provocation!

It is very likely that the new emperor who is dissatisfied with him and Geng Nanzhong, the Privy Councillor who always wants to fight with him militarily, have joined forces and secretly played a trick...... One of the purposes was to take the opportunity to skillfully slap him in the face and weaken his supreme military prestige and the deterrent effect of powerful forces on Manchu officials.......

You see what you can't do when you tell you to go down, the more conceited no one dares to disobey you, but the more people dare to ignore your greetings.

How does this make Tong Guan not angry?

In fact, Tong Guan really thinks about this matter too much.

Dealing with Zhao Yue really has nothing to do with the emperor and Geng Nanzhong, it has nothing to do with it at all.

An emperor like Zhao Huan, a right-hand minister like Geng Nanzhong, and a privy councillor, are typical people who are very capable and decisive when they have nothing to do, and they will catch blind straw bales when they really have something. Zhao Yue suddenly entered Beijing. This pair still has a stomach of thoughts and ideas for the monarch and ministers, but in fact, they can't do anything, and they don't have the ability and responsibility at all.

Besides, although the Cao family is a dog trained by the royal family, and they only have to listen to the emperor in everything, but they are not stupid, how can they secretly follow and obey Zhao Huan, a child emperor who will step down at any time, and Geng Nanzhong, a so-called Xiangye who can only rely on Zhao Huan to mix wealth and power in the officialdom.

If you want to listen, you have to be ordered by Zhao Ji.

Of course, Cao Teng's scolding of Zhao Yue was accidental, but it was not just an accident caused by a group of wealthy scholars who were full of food and were idle. It was indeed premeditated.

In the group of scholars who did not deal with Cao Teng, someone secretly colluded with the Liao envoys who came to Beijing to become traitors.

The scholar of that family was only deliberately provoked by his "eldest brother" to fight with Cao Teng after receiving an urgent notice sent by his father, and fanned the flames to Zhao Yue...... The result was that Zhao Yue's great ability was not successful, and it was Cao Teng and his own "big brother" who died..... and the assassins arranged by the Liao envoys. Naturally, this scholar will not compete for the limelight in the event as an exciting joke like others, and hides in the back in a low-key manner, not dying in the accidental collapse of the verandah, but suffering some injuries that are not light or serious, and quickly got out of trouble and went home leisurely......

What is the truth of this incident, it is absolutely impossible for the imperial court to investigate clearly.

Even if the imperial court knew that it was the Liao envoy who sent people to participate in the assassination and even colluded with the ghosts in the Song court to plan the whole incident, how could it dare to do anything to the Liao envoy?

The Song court is afraid that it will be too late to seek friendship and peace with the Liao State now, and it will not dare to offend the Liao envoy at all, so it will not be able to interrogate, how can it be possible to know the truth?

At this juncture, the imperial court must only press all doubts, put all the sins on the head of the Liao State, and guide and provoke Cangzhao and the Liao State to resist to the death......

This traitor doctor has already calculated everything, and no matter what the result is, he will not be implicated in his head, and he is worthy of being a Confucian official who concedes himself in the world with power and wisdom.

But big people who are too accustomed to political infighting have inertial thinking, and the smarter they are, the easier it is to associate things with more complex and insidious things.

As for Tong Guan himself, he has to be sensitive to this kind of thing.

The new emperor didn't like him, and even hated him.

Geng Nanzhong, a power madman who suddenly got lucky, only has power in his eyes, and only wants to fight for power, especially military power, and only wants to drive him and Gao Yu, the escort dog of the old emperor, from power, and help the new emperor become the real emperor, and his own power and future will naturally be truly guaranteed.

Tong Guan hated the emperor and despised Geng Nanzhong, but he could only slowly fight with this pair of monarchs and ministers, so the Cao family would be unlucky.

Although Tong Guan can't really do anything about the deep-rooted Cao family, how can there be a way to make the Cao family uncomfortable. And it is not so easy for the specific party Cao Hua to extricate himself from the suspicion of possible collusion with the Liao State. If you don't collude, you have to pay enough price and lessons. If there is really something, then it will not be just a matter that can be ended by Cao Huazhen's family being destroyed......

Cao Huazhen is also being harshly interrogated and sad at the moment, it is his favorite baby son who has plunged him into a crisis from which he will never recover...... Daddy.

At this moment, he is also honest and sober, and he no longer wants to kill Zhao Yue because he is angry and hatred, but hopes that Zhao Gonglian will be generous, benevolent, tolerant, wise, and wise as always....... Be able to see the truth, don't cast hostile eyes on his family in this matter, at least don't treat his family as the first evil enemy. He was indeed wronged.

Tong Guan set a goal of revenge and revenge in a few blink of an eye, and then became nervous about King Fu's unlucky incident, and for the first time he was worried that Cangzhao might really rebel at any time. The courage and courage tempered by his many years of bloody war experience in the Northwest Unification Army could not help but shudder, and it was inevitable that he would be frightened.

If you talk about the understanding of Zhao Gonglian, among so many bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan is the first.

The conceited and intelligent, conceited Zhao Ji, who knows the most and can play Zhao Gonglian the most, has to stand aside.

Tong Guan was the first person to contact Zhao Gonglian, and saw the demeanor and unlimited potential that Zhao Gonglian, who was only a teenager in a remote countryside at that time: intelligence is rare, his eyes reveal the calm and perseverance in his bones, and he has the courage and ambition to stand up to the sky, but he is also clever and sleek........ The first time he entered the palace to face the saint, his performance was almost exclaiming, and he was full of praise for the full score, and in the eyes of the emperor Zhao Ji at that time, he fully showed a person with outstanding appearance, talent, courage, courage and wisdom, ignorance, ignorance, naughtiness, and boldness that a country boy should have..... There is also an image of an outstanding and cute young man who is infinitely loyal and worshipful to the emperor, but belongs to the emperor who can be used...... Born to play with political material.

He and Zhao Gonglian got in touch with the earliest, and since then they have kept in touch, and after Zhao Yue's wings gradually hardened, they became closer, and the correspondence continued, so as to further understand Zhao Gonglian's ambition, integrity, insight and ability, but later the wind direction was wrong, Zhao Gonglian invisibly fell out of favor and was bound to be unlucky, so he decisively terminated the contacts, cut off the so-called deep love between Zhao Gonglian, and stood by and watched the Zhao family struggle in vain under the emperor's fear that his wealth and power were too strong...... After fighting in the northwest for a long time, he really knows the soldiers, and he really knows the dangers and difficulties of the border passes, so he can deeply understand Zhao Gonglian's extraordinary ability and charm more than the so-called civil and military affairs of the imperial court.

Tong Guan knows Zhao Gonglian's power too well.

In the group portrait of the mentality of Manhan Wenwu who was afraid of the rebellion of the Cangbei Army, but did not necessarily feel that the Cangbei Army was really so brave and invincible, Tong Guan was the only official who determined that if Zhao Gonglian really rebelled, the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably perish quickly, and perhaps the only sober person in the court on this matter.

Other officials, some people think: the Cangbei Army is very powerful, the limelight and the achievements played majestically crushed the old powerhouses in the northwest, but that is all in the past, the main body of the Cangbei Army today is a group of monks, fasting and chanting Buddha, accustomed to a group of people who can't bear to kill, even if the warrior monks have some martial arts, it is impossible to be brave and easy to kill, not to mention that it is a hastily newly incorporated into the army for reorganization and training, how can such a new army be transformed into a real elite army so quickly. Zhao Gonglian is not an immortal.

As for the number of monks and criminals who have reached an astonishing level of more than 500,000, they are even less worthy of the fear of the imperial court.

What can a monk who can only recite sutras and collect incense money do?

It's not at all a material for attacking cities and grabbing land, rushing into battle to rebel and kill people, I'm just afraid that I haven't seen blood on the battlefield yet, and I can be paralyzed by the might of the soldiers, and no matter how many people there are, I can't be afraid.

There are quite a few officials who have this viewpoint, perhaps the vast majority of the DPRK.

The main reason why the imperial court was afraid of the rebellion of Cangzhao was that Zhao Gonglian's influence on the world was too great, and if Zhao Gonglian's Cangzhao family was also reversed, the impact on the imperial court on the already turbulent and unstable hearts of the people in the world would be too bad. The current country is bad enough, the conditions are difficult and the situation is too bad, and it cannot withstand the internal friction of such evil things as the rebellion of the border soldiers and the attack on the imperial court. If that happens, there will be no way to live that day.

In other words, everyone is mainly worried that life will be more difficult and that they will not get the wealth they deserve in front of officials, rather than that they are really worried that the Cangbei Army has the ability to overthrow the imperial court and threaten the safety of officials in the capital.

But Tong Guan knew from the very beginning when Zhao Gonglian reacted violently to the slanderous rumors in the capital: Zhao Gonglian must have the strength to subvert the imperial court, and he was prepared for a long time, obviously preventing the imperial court from playing a fierce and shameless day, otherwise he would not be so tough and unauthorized to kill all the civil and military forces placed by the imperial court in Cangbei, which is like a rebellion and directly slaps the imperial court in the face.

And the Cao family, as well as the conceited, cunning, shrewd, and unparalleled goddamn Fu Wang who can only see the interests in front of him, made a fuss, and the Cangzhao family, who was watching the court but was definitely not really determined to create a rebellion against the Great Song Dynasty, was likely to misjudge and had to resolutely rebel.

"These stupid pigs who don't have enough success and more than they do!"

Tong Guan was extremely angry and helpless, and scolded Zhao Yue almost again and again for scolding the Fu King and the other as rice worms.

He wasn't too worried that Zhao Gonglian's rebellion would kill him.

He has an old friendship with Zhao Gonglian, although he changed his face and ignored Cangzhao's suffering, but he didn't rush to fall into the well like others to stretch out his black hand to Cangzhao to aggravate Cangzhao's difficulties, not that he was affectionate or unbearable, nor that he wisely saw that Cangzhao could not collapse, but it was not time, and it was not too late. Cangzhao's alluring wealth is all cheap for pirates. But no matter what, he didn't really turn against Zhao Gonglian, and it can be said that the friendship is still there. And Zhao Gonglian is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and is very affectionate and faithful.

Tong Guan was frightened and worried that if Zhao Gonglian seized the world, even if he still remembered the original affection, he Tong Guan would no longer have the wealth and arrogance of the Song Dynasty......

In the deep palace of the Great Interior, the new emperor Zhao Huan and Geng Nanzhong are another picture.
