Chapter 14 Abandonment of Literature and Martial Arts

"When I was drunk, I picked up the lamp and looked at the sword, and I dreamed of blowing the horn and the battalion...... I don't want to live this life! ”

After Cai Zhen read "Cai Zhen's Masterpiece" a few times, he praised it: "The literary literacy of the sixth brother is not much better than Li Du!" ”

Cai Qian said: "I also think so, the literati of the world, only in terms of poetry, there should be no sixth brother or so, if Su Dongpo and Huanggu are still alive......"

Cai Yi interrupted Cai Qian and said, "Why are you still so unreminiscing, do you want to keep stumbling like this?" ”

Cai Qian said: "How many times have I said that I just appreciate the poems of Su Dongpo and the Yellow Valley, and I don't agree with their political ideas. ”

Cai Yi said: "You can appreciate them, but you don't need to write your appreciation for them into your book, right?" ”

Cai Qian said: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is often a relative, why should I hide my thoughts?" ”

Cai Zhen said: "If you have always had such an attitude, then I advise you not to enter politics, otherwise sooner or later one day you will harm yourself and the Cai family because of your naivety, politicians, you don't need to have too high literary literacy, and you don't need to be proficient in the way of governing the country, but you must judge the situation, just like the eldest brother, he is not good at the way of civil and military affairs, nor is he good at governing the country and the country, but his career is smoother than anyone else." ”

Cai Qian was unconvinced: "That's the official family who was deceived by him!" ”

Cai Qian has always been dissatisfied with his eldest brother Cai You, who can only eat, drink and have fun, and thinks that Cai You can have today because of Cai Jing and Zhao Ji's love for Cai You, not Cai You's ability.

In fact, not only Cai Yu thinks so, but many conceited and talented people think that Cai You is ignorant of learning, and they despise Cai You in their hearts, and they are not convinced that Cai You is an important minister and often accompanies Zhao Ji.

"Shut up!" Cai Zhen said.

Without waiting for Cai Qian to argue, Cai Yi said again: "Although the eldest brother is not good at civil and military, governing the country, and Anbang, this does not mean that the eldest brother has no skills, he concluded as early as more than 20 years ago that the official family that was still the king of Duan at that time could finally get the Great Song Dynasty, and then pressed the treasure on the official family without hesitation, what kind of vision and courage is this, even my father often sighs that he is not as good as the eldest brother, what qualifications do you have to slander him?" ”

During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Cai You was only twenty-two or three years old when he was only twenty-two or three years old, and he already knew how to seize every opportunity to pave the way for his future.

At that time, Cai You could catch up with the courtiers and retreat from the court every time he went to the court, and he calculated the time to come out, so that he could meet Zhao Ji, the king of the next dynasty.

So, every time Zhao Ji went down to the court, he could see a young man with beautiful eyebrows who was a few years older than himself dismounted and stood on the side, humble and polite, and amiable to watch.

Zhao Ji asked the left and right servants: "Which family is this young man from?" ”

Left and right said: "It's the son of Cai Chengzhi (Cai Jing)." ”

Zhao Ji secretly remembered him in his heart.

After Song Zhezong died and Zhao Ji ascended the throne, Zhao Ji immediately gave Honglu Cheng Cai Yu Jinshi background, worshiped as the secretary Lang, revised the Zhiji Pavilion and Jixian Palace, and edited the "National Dynasty Meeting".

Since then, Cai You's career has been promoted to the current Xuanhe Temple Scholar, Huaikang Military Festival Envoy, and second-class member.

Although they are both positive and second-grade, if you talk about the weight of power, Cai Cheng can't catch up with Cai You now.

The key is that Cai You has always been favored by Zhao Ji, and his future is unlimited, and it is not certain that he can replace Cai Jing in the future.

Cai Yu actually didn't know about these, but he still looked down on Cai You, he felt that Cai You was just a courtier who could eat, play, go crazy, and bring Zhao Ji to death, and he couldn't compare with Cai Jing who had real materials, let alone replace Cai Jing in the future.

Regarding Cai You, Cai Ying and Cai Qian don't know how many times they have argued, but there has never been a result, and both of them are stubborn.

Therefore, Cai Qian knew that they couldn't fight for a reason this time.

And this time, Cai Qian came for something, and it was impossible to argue with Cai Yi endlessly, delay major events, and delay friends.

Therefore, Cai Qian said: "Okay, I'm here for the sixth brother this time, not to quarrel with you, the sixth brother wants to abandon literature and martial arts, what do you think?" ”

Cai Yi was unwilling to discuss Cai You's affairs with Cai Qian at all, so seeing that Cai Qian avoided this topic first, he also got off the donkey and said, "Sixth brother really wants to abandon literature and martial arts?" ”

Cai Qian said: "You don't know, the sixth brother actually has a good martial arts, and has learned military books and war strategies. ”

Cai Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that you can become a general after reading a few books and practicing martial arts for a few days. ”

Cai Qian said: "I don't know how the sixth brother is able to lead the troops, but his martial arts are definitely not as simple as practicing for a few days, my guard Qian Zhong You know, right?" ”

Cai Zhen said: "The former master of the inner world you recruited? ”

Cai Qian said: "It's him, he was in the hands of the sixth brother, and he was knocked down by the sixth brother before he even walked up, and I asked him afterwards, and he told me that the sixth brother's martial arts are unfathomable, and the top master in the inner master is probably not the opponent of the sixth brother." ”

Cai Chong was really a little surprised this time, he said, "Qian Zhong really said that? ”

Cai Qian said: "Do I need to lie to you?" ”

Cai Cheng pondered for a while and said, "In this way, the sixth brother wants to abandon literature and martial arts, is it not a whim?" ”

Cai Qian said: "You have little contact with the sixth brother, you don't know him, he is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also has an accurate vision." Not long ago, he told me that the gang of robbers in Liang Shanluo might become a prairie fire. Now, in response to his words, that gang of thieves is rampant in Heshuo and Tokyo, with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and no one dares to resist. He also said that most of the first battle of Xihe was to be lost. It turned out that Tong Guan and Liu Fa were really defeated. ”

Cai Yi said in disbelief: "The sixth brother's vision is really so accurate? ”

Cai Qian said: "There is something more accurate, he said that in the battle before Liaojin, the loser must be Liao." ”

Cai Yi was completely shocked, and he said, "When did he tell you?" ”

Cai Qian said: "If it's these days, I can tell you that he can see it accurately, he told me more than half a month ago." ”

"Half a month ago? Ma Zheng hadn't come back at that time, right? Could it be that the Liao people said it? Cai Yi said.

Cai Qian shook his head and said, "He said that he speculated based on the movement of the Liao army. ”

Cai Zhen said: "Where did he get the news of the transfer of the Liao army?" ”

Cai Qian said: "You forgot, the second uncle has been a privy envoy for several years and has mastered the Great Song army for many years, and it is not easy for the sixth brother to know some news from the army?" ”

Cai Ling was silent.

Cai Qian glanced at Cai Yi and said, "The sixth brother's vision is so accurate, how can it be a whim?" ”

Cai Cheng pondered for a while and said, "How can our Cai family disciples be lowly martial artists?" Besides, the sixth brother is the only son of the second uncle, let him go to the army, will others gossip about our family? ”

Cai Qian said in a deep voice: "I used to think the same way, but after the sixth brother told me that our Cai family also needs a general, I don't think so." ”

When Cai Ling heard this, he was stunned at first, then he seemed to think of something, and then said in a deep voice: "You mean...... Restrain Tong Guan, that old horseman? ”
