…

Because it was winter, when Cai still entered the palace with the little eunuch, the genius was bright, and the inner court was in a deep dream, and there was silence everywhere without a sound.

Zhang Di saw that Cai was still brought in, and with a cat-like soft movement, he gently opened the bead curtain and let Cai still in.

A rich aroma erupted from the beast furnace and permeated the entire hall.

Through this dense screen, Cai still saw the huge Rui Si Hall clearly, except for Zhao Ji, only two palace maids were waiting on the side of the imperial case from afar, which seemed extremely empty.

Zhao Ji had already taken off his dragon robe and changed into a clean and bright white brocade robe, which was loose inside and tight on the outside, and his hair was crowned with a good flawless jade.

Cai still looked at Zhao Ji's appearance again, and found that he was a rare beautiful man in this era, with a nose like a hanging beam, lips like Dan, skin like clotted fat, three strands of ink hair, elegant and indifferent, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhang Di led Cai to the front of the palace and sang in a low voice: "Cai Observation has arrived!" ”

At this time, Zhao Ji was leaning over the imperial case, sucking on paper, and drafting an edict.

Hearing Zhang Di's words, Zhao Ji didn't pick up his head, just moved his chin slightly, indicating "I know", and then went to write his edict.

For the sake of Cai still giving him all kinds of treasures, Zhang Di handed Cai still a "don't be impatient" look.

Cai still nodded slightly, indicating that he had received it.

Zhao Ji is very focused, as if he is not writing an edict, but creating a work of art.

In this process, Cai still always looked at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, showing sufficient patience.

This made Zhao Ji, who was secretly paying attention to Cai Zhen, nodded in his heart and said in his heart: "Although I am a little anxious for quick success, but fortunately, my temperament is quite calm and I will not make big mistakes." ”

After writing the last stroke, Zhao Ji asked the eunuch to use up the jade seal before he said to Cai Ying: "Aiqing came to see my words." ”

Cai still responded: "No." ", and then walked towards Zhao Ji.

Cai is still so simple, which makes Zhao Ji stunned!

In Zhao Ji's mind, Cai still should shirk it, you know, what he made Cai still see was not ordinary calligraphy and painting, but a holy decree.

Zhao Ji even thought about it, and reprimanded Cai for daring not to listen to his will when Cai was still shirking, in order to show his imperial power.

didn't want to, Cai still came over directly, which made Zhao Ji a little panicked in his heart!

Cai was still thinking of a lot of words praising Zhao Ji before reading Zhao Ji's holy decree.

However, after Cai still saw the holy decree written by Zhao Ji clearly, he immediately forgot all the words he had thought of, and only stunned remained!

At this moment, Cai was still overturning the river and the sea in his heart, he finally understood why Zhu Boliang was like an old lady looking at his son-in-law all the way, why Zhu Boliang happily agreed to whatever he said, and why Zhu Boliang would say that he should take care of his daughter!

Cai still said in his heart: "Dare to love, this old guy already knows that Zhao Ji is going to give me a marriage!" ”

Cai could still think with his heels that this matter must be run by the princelings.

It's just that Cai still can't figure out why Zhao Ji agreed?

Cai still said in his heart: "Does Zhao Ji think that I am a dispensable little person?" ”

Thinking about it like this, Cai still couldn't help but sigh a little: "I didn't expect that I worked so hard that I couldn't get into Zhao Ji's eyes." ”

Zhao Ji used a good jade seal to let Cai still see the holy decree, indicating that the rice had become porridge and there was no possibility of changing it.

In this case, it is by no means a wise choice for Cai to insist on disagreeing.

Moreover, Cai still thought about it carefully, marrying Zhu Shen also has the benefits of marrying Zhu Shen, if Zhu Boliang really recruits literati for himself, it is enough to make up for the help given to him by those powerful ministers in politics.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Cai still bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

Seeing that Cai was finally no longer as calm as before, and was caught off guard by him, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Aiqing is free of courtesy." ”

Cai still straightened up and said, "Your Majesty's grace, the minister doesn't dare to resign, but the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Zhao Ji said with a pleasant face: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Cai still said "bitterly": "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and many facts should not be arranged too early!" ”

Although the matter of marrying Zhu Shen as his wife cannot be changed, Cai still has to say to Zhao Ji: "I am married to Zhu Lian's sister, but this does not mean that I am on Zhao Huan's side, I am loyal to you Zhao Ji, it was you who asked me to marry Zhu Shen, and I only married." ”

Cai is still not an overactive move, but a very important statement.

Otherwise, Cai still marries Zhu Shen, which may have an unexpected impact on himself.

In fact, Zhao Ji did not want to agree to Zhao Huan's request, that is, to marry Cai Ying and Zhu Shen.

This has nothing to do with Cai (and Zhu Shen).

Although Cai still recruited Song Jiang and showed outstanding talents in the future, in Zhao Ji's eyes, Cai is still just a young man with more potential, just one of the countless talents he entrains, he doesn't have to spend too much thought and energy on Cai Yi, his mind and energy have to be spent on more worthy places, like recovering Yanyun, like art research, like cultivating to become an immortal, and so on......

Zhao Ji didn't want to agree to Zhao Huan's request because it was completely as Cai still reminded, and he didn't need to help Zhao Huan establish the foundation for ascending the throne now.

In fact, compared with Zhao Huan, who didn't satisfy him anywhere, Zhao Ji really preferred Zhao Kai, who was very similar to him, and he even moved the idea of replacing Zhao Huan and making Zhao Kai the prince.

But firstly, although Zhao Huan does not like Zhao Ji, but Zhao Huan was not a big mistake during his time as the prince, and did not give Zhao Ji an excuse to change the prince, secondly, Zhao Huan's position as the prince has been too long, and a large political force has gathered around him. Zhao Ji is not in a hurry to deal with these things, in Zhao Ji's opinion, he can slowly consider who will inherit his big treasure.

Therefore, Zhao Ji did not rush to express his position, nor did he have the intention of cultivating Zhao Huan to support Zhao Huan.

In this case, even if Cai is still not so important in Zhao Ji's eyes, Zhao Ji does not need to push Cai still to Zhao Huan and strengthen Zhao Huan.

But with the development of the current situation, things are a little out of Zhao Ji's control.

At the beginning, when Cai Jing was in power, he neither stood on the side of the prince Zhao Huan, nor did he stand on the side of the king of Yun Zhao Kai, Zhao Ji could not express his position, he could play balance.

But Cai Jingzhi was replaced by Wang Hao, who was promoted by Liang Shicheng, as the prime minister, and Zhao Huan, who was supported by Liang Shicheng, will undoubtedly overshadow Zhao Kai.

Zhao Ji may not have felt this kind of thing - Zhao Ji didn't know that Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng were wearing a pair of pants, and they obtained the highest power of the Great Song Dynasty from him.

Wang Hao was also very secretive, he just said to Zhao Ji at an appropriate time: "Official, now is the critical time to recover Yanyun, stability is greater than everything. ”

Then, Zhao Huan cried to Zhao Ji again about how difficult his situation was and wanted to resign as the prince.

Zhao Ji himself will think about it: "At this time, the prince is unstable, which will have a huge impact on the current situation, which is not conducive to the recovery of Yanyun, for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty's century-old plan, it is better to be better to Huan'er for the time being, and after recovering Yanyun, it is not too late to slowly consider who is more suitable to be the prince." ”

So, in such an environment, Zhao Huan begged Zhao Ji to marry Cai Ying and Zhu Shen, and Zhao Ji agreed.

But although Zhao Ji agreed, he was not willing.

In this way, Cai Ying's loyalty immediately made Zhao Jilongyan happy.

However, Zhao Ji did not answer Cai Yan's words, but said: "You Cai family, loyal and courageous, your uncle and your father were both my humerus ministers, and they made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and you recruited the traitor Song Jiang for me, I can't help but plan far-reaching for you." ”

After a pause, Zhao Ji said again: "I asked people to inquire, that Zhu Shen is not only beautiful and lovely, but also a good character, a virtuous woman, marrying a wife should be a virtuous woman, you can't just look at your family background, besides, the Zhu family is also a famous family, with your Cai family, it is not a grievance against you, the only thing that is a little unsatisfactory is that Zhu Boliang is a concubine, Zhu Shen is not a concubine of the Zhu family, but I give you a marriage, marrying a concubine, it is not an insult to you." ”

Cai still said: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and he can worry about the marriage of the minister in his busy schedule, and the minister's death will not be rewarded." ”

Zhao Ji's smile became brighter, and he felt that Cai was still very knowledgeable about current affairs and good at talking.

Zhao Ji said: "I've heard many people say that you are the number one literary master today, and I asked you to improvise a poem, it's not difficult for you, right?" ”

Cai still immediately patted Zhao Ji on the back and said: "Your Majesty is the number one literary master today, where can the minister deserve such a false praise." ”

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Don't compliment me, I only give you seven breaths of time to compose poems, and now there are only three breaths left." ”

Cai still listened to the words, his mind was racing, and he quickly said: "The sun and the moon are big, and the Xuanji Shun has a long history. Hear the palace tent on the side, and set many books on the bag. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he said in his heart: "Yaotian: peaceful and prosperous...... Xuanji: Emperor Shun's Heavenly Measuring Instrument...... Shun has a long history, and it is said that I have reigned as long as Emperor Shun...... Side Hearsay: Indirect Hearsay...... Multiple episodes of book bags: The story of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty collecting book bags as palace curtains to celebrate my thrift ......"

Thinking about the meaning of Cai Ying's poem, Zhao Ji not only loved Cai Ying's quick wit, but couldn't help but suppress Cai Zhen and said: "Aiqing is also a flatterer, where am I thrifty, why don't I know?" ”

Of course, Cai still can't say: "This poem was written by Li Qingzhao to praise your son Zhao Gou, and I directly copied it in order to show my urgency to gain your favor, because I don't have time to think about it, so I can only praise you for your frugality." ”

Cai was still moved in his heart, and forcibly explained: "I heard that Your Majesty issued a holy decree not long ago, and all kinds of expenses in the palace were cut according to discretion, Your Majesty is like this, isn't it thrifty?" ”

Zhao Ji gave such an order, but it was just a situation, there was no real reduction in the palace, Zhao Ji and his harem beauties were still extravagant and wasteful, and Gen Yue was also in full swing.

But Zhao Ji couldn't tell Cai Ying: "I made that holy decree to show my determination to recover Yanyun to those courtiers who opposed sending troops to recover Yanyun, and I was not really frugal." ”

Zhao Ji could only take the initiative to send Cai Ying to praise his frugality, and changed the topic: "Since Aiqing talked about the recovery of Yanyun, and Aiqing is a person who understands soldiers, I don't know what Aiqing thinks about the recovery of Yanyun?" ”
