…

Cai still and Cai Cheng continued to play chess.

The lower he went, the longer Cai Yi thought about it, and the deeper his brows wrinkled.

Slowly, the white son became more and more powerful, and the black child was gradually killed.

After more than half an hour, Cai Zhen threw himself in the towel, then raised his head and looked at Cai Yilai seriously, and said: "The sixth brother has superb chess skills, but he is a little ...... in order to win Play hard. ”

Cai still smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's good to win, is the means important?" ”

When Cai Ling heard this, he was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Sixth brother is really a wonderful person, come, let's kill another game." ”

Without Cai Cheng to speak, a maid came up and took down the chessboard that the two had played along with the chess pieces on it, and then a maid changed a new chessboard and two pots of chess pieces for them, and the two guessed again.

At the beginning of the second set, Cai Ying quietly learned from Cai that he was still unscrupulous to win.

Cai Zhen's chess skills were not much worse than Cai Ying's, and then he learned Cai Ying's unscrupulous methods for victory, and immediately reversed the situation, and even almost defeated Cai Yi in the end.

In the third game, Cai still secretly released some water, but unfortunately lost to Cai Zhen, which made Cai Ying feel good and talked more happily with Cai Ying.

Cai still chatted with Cai Ying for a while, and Cai still got up and said goodbye very measuredly.

has been sent to the edge of the South Park, and Cai Yingcai said goodbye to Cai Ying.

After returning to his living room, Cai Cheng went straight to the back of a screen in the hall.

I saw a quiet woman waiting for a tall and thin old man to read a book there.

Cai Yi said: "Father, I've kept you waiting. This old man is none other than Cai Jing, Cai Cheng's father, the current minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the future head of the Six Thieves!

Cai Jing continued to read and said, "How is Cai still this child?" ”

Cai Yi smiled and said: "It's very delicious for me." ”

Cai Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Cai Yi and said, "Oh? Just because he gave you a game of chess at the end? ”

"Uh~"

Cai Yi was a little stunned and said, "Dad, you said that he let me in the last game of chess?" ”

Cai Jing continued to read, and at the same time said, "You haven't seen such an obvious thing?" ”

Cai Ling was a little embarrassed and said, "I really didn't see it, this kid ...... I thought I was winning with my skills. ”

Cai Jing said: "Tell me what you think of him." ”

Cai Cheng was obviously prepared, he said: "Just now he has been emphasizing that we are a family, which is obviously moving closer to our Cai family, based on this, I speculate that he saved the life of Emperor Maode, including the game of chess he asked me to play at the end, is to show goodwill to our Cai family, I think, he may also know that the second uncle has passed away, prestige and power are no longer there, if he wants to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty, if he wants to show revenge, he can only rely on our Cai family, so he and the second uncle should not be the same kind of people, he should be a very pragmatic person." ”

Cai Jing did not deny Cai Zhen's judgment of Cai Ying, obviously, he also saw Cai Yi this way.

Cai Ling continued: "He seems to be very utilitarian, which is not difficult to see from the fact that he wins chess by any means. ”

Cai Yi thought for a while, and then said: "As for more, I can't see it from this contact alone." ”

Cai Jing said undeniably: "Then how do you think we should settle him?" ”

Cai Yi also had already considered, he said: "Although the results of the palace examination have not yet come out, but with his talent, there should be no problem in ascending to the Jinshidi, after all, he is a talented man on the same level as Cai Yu, and although the second uncle left the court early, and now he has passed away, but there are still many protégés of the second uncle in the court, the most important thing is that everyone knows that he is a member of our Cai family, and they are all watching how our Cai family treats him, and now he has expressed his closeness to our Cai family, and people are greedy, it should not be difficult to control, so, I think I can pave a smooth path for him, so that he can start from serving the imperial history in the palace or go to a county to serve as a magistrate. ”

Cai Jing pondered for a while and said, "You still need to ask him about his own wishes in this matter." ”

Cai Yi said: "Yes, father." ”

After being silent for a while, Cai Jing said again: "Back then, Wang Xianggong said that there were only four people who could inherit his doctrine, one was his son Wang Yuanze, one was Lu Huiqing, and then there was me and your second uncle, when Wang Xianggong was deposed, Wang Yuanze left, Lu Huiqing was the main assistant of Wang Xianggong when he changed the law, but then he and Wang Xianggong had a split, only me and your second uncle always adhered to Wang Xianggong's change and lived up to Wang Xianggong's high expectations, as for the later disagreement between me and your second uncle, it was all because, Your second uncle is too stubborn to know how to be flexible, and he wants to stick to Wang Xianggong's immature doctrine, and I think it should be adjusted and deepened...... Facts have proved that I am right, over the years, under my auspices, the Great Song Dynasty has been thriving, the four seas have been peaceful, and Fengheng and Yu have ......"

Abundance means abundance, and to govern the country must first grasp the economy, and let the state finance be full and prosperous, which is the economic foundation for governing the country.

Heng means Hengtong, and it is necessary to ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees, so that the law can be effective, and this is the political foundation.

Yu means happiness, and it is necessary to create a peaceful and happy social environment and atmosphere, which is the foundation of society.

Big, that is, Hongdae, to establish the demeanor of a great country, to reflect the spirit of a great country, this is the foundation of the national image.

Cai Jing's concept of governing the country is based on these four foundations, with clear levels, clear ideas, and rich connotations.

Cai Jing's concept of "Fengheng Yuda" stems from his understanding of the rich philosophy of the Book of Changes, and also reflects his thinking and longing for ideal politics.

But—

Some people also say that Cai Jing's ideas of governing the country are to whitewash the peace.

Some people also say that Cai Jing is advocating the style of poverty and luxury.

Some people even say that Cai Jing treats the property of officials and lords as dung, and is trying his best to encourage Song Huizong and Zhao Ji to squander it.

Later, Cai Jing was convicted as the head of the six thieves, and his "Fengheng Yuda" was one of his crimes.

Cai Jing's concept of governing the country is right and wrong, but objectively speaking, the changes led by Cai Jing did make the Northern Song Dynasty society look new.

Politically, Cai Jing eliminated the old party forces, put an end to the scourge of party strife that had spread for decades, and laid a political foundation for social and economic development.

Economically, Cai Jing attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry and encouraged land reclamation, especially adjusting economic policies such as tea, salt, and money laws, and the state fiscal revenue increased substantially.

Militarily, Cai Jing supported the dispatch of 100,000 troops to the west, recovering the lost territory of the Qing and Tang dynasties, consolidating border defenses, enhancing the prestige of the emperor and the imperial court, and improving the international status of the Song Dynasty.

In terms of education, Cai Jing vigorously developed school education, established a school education network across the country, and replaced the old imperial examination system with school education, which was a remarkable initiative of modern significance, known as "Chongning Xingxue" in history.

In terms of people's livelihood, Cai Jing has generally established people's livelihood security institutions such as nursing homes, Anjifang, and Leaky Zeyuan across the country. The nursing home is used to help the widowed and lonely, the Anjifang is used to help the sick and have no money for treatment, and the Leaky Garden is the land set aside by the government to bury the poor who cannot afford to mourn. This is not charity, this is a livelihood project that benefits the whole people, which is very original in Chinese history.

It can be said that during the years when Cai Jing was in charge of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was definitely the peak of the Huizong Dynasty, and even the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the current Cai Jing is qualified to be proud, let alone criticize the stubborn Cai Bian.

After sighing with emotion, Cai Jing's tone changed, and he said: "However, although there are some differences between me and your second uncle in terms of political opinions, the brotherly relationship between us is still there, and if it wasn't for your second uncle who recommended me to Wang Xianggong back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Cai Zhen said: "If my son knows, he will definitely take care of the sixth brother and will not let him be wronged." ”

Cai Jing pondered for a while, and then said: "As for your fifth brother, you persuade him to look away, Cai is still to save the life of Emperor Maode and to avoid trouble for our Cai family, so he took expedient measures, and then offended the couple, and besides, nothing really happened between Cai and Emperor Maode, so don't be angry, huh...... Let your eldest lady go to visit Emperor Maode, and by the way, help me bring a message to Emperor Maode, just say that the Cai family will not let her be in a dilemma. ”
