Chapter 19 Born with a backbone in the back of the head
…
There are a lot of people who have seen it, but it's a pity that Cai still doesn't know any of them.
At this time, a person walked straight towards Cai Ying.
There was still some distance away from Cai, so the man arched his hand and said, "Brother Ziyin, you were also invited by King Yun to come here for a small gathering?" ”
Cai is still in their department, and there are many famous people in history, including Zhang Jun, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, whose merits and deeds are difficult to describe.
But—
The current Zhang Jun is just one of the many Jinshi and the first - because his achievements are not outstanding and his family background is not outstanding, the current Zhang Jun has not attracted people's attention.
Now, the most striking of their subject is Zhao Kai, the son of Zhao Ji.
This Zhao Kai, like his father Zhao Ji, is a person who has achieved success in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is especially good at painting flowers and birds, which can be called a must, so he is deeply favored by Zhao Ji.
And the crown prince Zhao Huan, although he also has a good reputation for diligence and thrift, corporal Lixian, etc.
But Zhao Ji prefers Zhao Kai, who is like himself everywhere, which is not difficult to see from Zhao Ji's mansion for his sons, Zhao Kai's largest.
In addition, Zhao Kai's mother, Yisu Guifei Wang, is now favored by Zhao Ji, while Zhao Huan's mother, Empress Xiangong, died many years ago.
In other words, that is, Zhao Huan also occupies the righteousness of a prince, and in other aspects, nothing can compare to Zhao Kai.
This also led to rumors that Zhao Ji wanted to replace Zhao Huan and set up Zhao Kai as the crown prince.
At the moment, this wind is at its best.
And it was Zhao Kai who puffed up this wind.
Although there is no explicit rule, princes generally do not participate in scientific examinations.
And this Zhao Kai, I don't know what he thinks, he secretly participated in this scientific expedition.
Because Zhao Kai was indeed brilliant, he was invincible all the way and entered the palace test.
In the palace examination, Zhao Kai played even better, and in the end, he won the first place.
After the list was released, Zhao Kai told Zhao Ji the truth.
Zhao Ji was very happy that Zhao Kai had achieved such good results, and praised Zhao Kai greatly.
However, in addition to being happy, Zhao Ji was also afraid that the world's scholars would gossip, so he made the original list eye (second place) Wang Ang as the champion, and let Zhao Kai be a role model.
As soon as this incident came out, it suddenly became a good story.
In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, the literati were most admired.
Therefore, Zhao Kai, who won the champion position by his own ability, is definitely in the limelight at present, and the rumor of abolishing Zhao Huan and replacing Zhao Kai as the crown prince has also reached its peak.
Hearing that the person in front of him said that this assembly was organized by Zhao Kai, Cai Maung wanted to step forward and remind Cai Ying: "This matter involves the dispute between the crown prince, sixth uncle, you must be cautious." ”
No, as soon as Cai Maung's head poked over, Cai still stretched out his hand to stop Cai Maung from saying what he wanted to say, and at the same time said to the man: "I'm sorry, I'm not here to be invited by King Yun." ”
After finishing speaking, Cai still nodded at the man, and then took Cai Maung to a table in the distance and sat down, which was clearly different from the Jinshijing River that was invited by Zhao Kai.
may be because he has a very bad impression of Zhao Ji, and Cai still has no good impression of Zhao Kai, who is very similar to Zhao Ji's personality.
But—
This is not the main reason why Cai is still alienated from Zhao Kai.
Cai is still alienated from Zhao Kai for the following reasons:
First of all, don't look at how beautiful Zhao Kai is now, but he is destined to be the loser of this crown prince battle, and the current Cai is still unable to change this result at all, so unless Cai is kicked in the head by a donkey, it is impossible to get too close to Zhao Kai.
Secondly, although the bet is right in the process of the crown prince dispute, and you can get huge dividends for supporting the merits, the real political masters, in the process of the crown prince dispute, will never bet first, or even bet, because this is the political game means of winning and not being defeated.
And the most important thing is that the people of the old Zhao family, one counts as one, and none of them can make Cai still loyal to them, in other words, in Cai Ying's opinion, none of them are worthy of being emperors, of course, you can say that Cai is still born with a backbone in the back of his head.
After the two sat down in the corner, Cai Maung poked his head over and said, "Sixth uncle, although our Cai family has made up its mind, will not participate in this battle for the crown prince, and resolutely support all the decisions of the official family, but you don't need to give King Yun face so much, right?" After all, the official family likes King Yun very much. ”
Of course, Cai still couldn't tell Cai Maung what he really thought, so he could only say wrongly: "The prince is frugal and has no faults, and he is more suitable for being a king." ”
Cai Maung understood now, "It turns out that the sixth uncle supports the prince." ”
At this time, the little guy from Fan Lou stepped forward and said to Cai Maung: "Ninth son, do you and this son, do you leave a piece of ink treasure, or which young lady to give as a gift?" ”
Cai still didn't know what he meant, and looked at Cai Maung.
Cai Maung explained: "This is to show yourself, either to show your talents, or to show your financial resources, so that the young lady can make a choice." ”
After listening to Cai Maung's words, Cai still immediately thought of an animal, to be precise, a bird - a peacock.
In order to attract female peacocks and make female peacocks more compatible with themselves, male peacocks compete to open the screen to express themselves.
Cai still doesn't like this kind of thing, and he doesn't think it's romantic.
Therefore, although a good poem is still nothing to Cai, he is still reluctant to "compose" a poem in such a situation.
Cai still said to Li He: "Bring the things." ”
When Li He heard this, he immediately took a package that he had carried all the way.
Cai Maung was surprised: "Father said that Uncle Six, your poetry and singing level is directly after Li Du and the two of you, why don't you show it today?" ”
Cai still patted the package on his hand and said, "I'm here to give this thing to Miss Li." ”
"Ugh!"
After Cai Maung was stunned, he whispered: "How can the sixth uncle do such a stupid thing? ”
Cai was still slightly stunned and said, "What does Jiu Lang mean by this?" ”
Cai Maung said: "Li Xingshou and the official family, you don't know about the sixth uncle?" ”
Cai still said: "I know, but what does it matter, I just want to give Miss Li a gift." ”
Cai Maung was a little speechless and said: "Although Li Xingshou still lives in Fan Lou now, the housekeeper inscribed the word "Xinghualou" for the small building where she lives, and all the objects she uses are covered with yellow satin, that is to say, although she does not live in the palace now, she seems to have become a concubine of the official family. ”
Hearing Cai Maung say this, Cai still suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate to rely on Master Li to open the market, after all, he still had to mix in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty for many years, and now he has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the biggest boss, which is never a good thing.
Cai still always corrected his mistakes, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Then give it to Miss Zhao Yuannu." ”
"Uh......"
Cai Maung and Xiao Wu vomited blood at the same time, "Your mother changed too quickly, he is so inattentive, can he get the favor of Miss?" ”
