When Tong Guan died, Cai Jing and Cai You also set out on the road to Lingnan in a carriage.

At this time, Cai You really served Cai Jing like a filial son, Cai Jing was too old to read the words in the book, and he couldn't see the eyes of pedestrians on the road, let alone hear the discussions, he stayed on the soft sleeper, looking at the magnificent city wall of Bianjing.

His life is about to end, no matter how long he can go or how long he can live, the moment he leaves Bianjing, there is no possibility of coming back in this life.

He looked at the imperial palace and the Bianjing Twin Towers in the distance, shook his head, and said to Cai You, "Let's go." ”

The Bianjing Tower under the sun is majestic and charming, and with the bustling Bianjing City, there is an indescribable beauty.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with their father and son anymore.

When did this life begin?

Cai Jing counted with his fingers, he had a lot of sins in his life.

"Father, you're alright." Cai You asked, if it weren't for Cai Jing's chest still undulating, Cai You would have thought Cai Jing was dead.

"It's okay, it's just a little embarrassing to think that I'm going to be a traitor." Cai Jing replied weakly.

The afternoon sun shines through the car window, shining on the body, warm and very comfortable, and the rice fields outside Bianjing City are all people working hard.

Cai You nodded and said, "My son, I am also a traitor." ”

Cai Jing looked at Cai You's face and became a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly.

"When Xining was three years old, when he was still in the Shenzong Dynasty, Wang Wengong officially worshiped the prime minister and became the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty, and cooperated with Shenzong to start the Xining reform. It was a big era, and Duke Wang Wen always wanted to complete the strategy of making the country rich and the people strong through changing the law. [Note 1]

"And your father and I, who are also named outside the Donghua Gate, under the eyes of Shenzong and Wang Xianggong, gave Jinshi and the first. Then he went to the local area, served as the captain of Qiantang, and then became the Shuzhou magistrate, responsible for solving the case. It's a good job. ”

"The people have called me Cai Qingtian for a while."

Cai You nodded and said, "At that time, my uncle was a scholar in the court, and he wrote an edict to Emperor Shenzong. ”

Cai Jing heard a lonely look on his face and said: "Your uncle is a good person, if he hadn't left early, he said that he couldn't inherit Zhang Dan's policy and let the Great Song Dynasty really become strong, but it's a pity, your uncle is afraid that he will be affected by me now." ”

The two of them are talking about Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian, who is called "Wenzheng", who can be called Wenzheng in the Great Song Dynasty, representing the straightness of this line.

This delay will really be delayed, and Cai Bian may no longer be able to leave his name in the history books.

Moreover, Wang Anshi, Wang Wenzheng was a father, and he also married his daughter to Cai Bian, trying to transfer his political ambitions to his sister-in-law.

In fact, Cai Bian did the same.

It's a pity that Cai Bian, who hadn't started for a long time, was degraded again and again by Song Huizong, who had just ascended the throne. In the end, it was depressed.

Cai Bian has not forgotten that Cai Jing is still circulating in the local area, Shao Sheng four years, when he went to Liao, he transferred Cai Jing in the local area to his side, and went to Liaoguo together, and after returning, Cai Jing also officially took over Cai Bian's position, Zhongshusheren.

At that time, Cai Bian and Cai Jing both wrote holy decrees to Song Zhezong in Bianjing City, and for a while, it was rumored that for the sake of beautiful talk, the matter of writing the holy decree itself was to gain insight into the situation in the world and prepare for being the prime minister.

The two brothers, both of whom are writing holy decrees, are the candidates for the prime minister. Of course, fame grew.

"In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, what about me, I was on the wrong team, when Emperor Shenzong collapsed, they were all discussing the matter of the new monarch, and I was on the wrong team."

"No matter how capable I am, I won't be able to do it. Sima Guang asked me to resume the errand law within five days, and I did it, and only I did it. But so what? ”

"I was still impeached by Taiwan, demoted out of Beijing, let me know Chengdu, but I haven't arrived at the place yet, and let me know Yangzhou, I haven't arrived at the place yet, and let me know Yunzhou, just when I arrived at the local post, I was promoted to Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor, I know Chengdu."

"That's how I went around the south, going back and forth on the road. Isn't that a toss for people? ”

Cai Jing remembered the bumps in the carriage at that time, and it was the same as today, it was so embarrassing.

"Uncle was Shang Shu Youcheng at that time." Cai You was still young at the time, and some of his memories were blurred. He only remembered that Cai Bian's official position was very big at that time.

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Well, Shangshu is the right man and the young master." If it weren't for your uncle's help, I guess I would still be wandering around Chengdu and wouldn't be able to go back to Chaozhong. ”

"At that time, I returned to Beijing as a bachelor and accompaniment student of the Hanlin Academy, responsible for the revision of national history."

"This accompanying reading is to accompany the prince to study, and he is also responsible for the history of repairing the country, and it was at that time that the Wen Jifu case appeared."

"At that time, Emperor Zhezong ordered me to investigate, and I will investigate to the end!"

"I arrested the chamberlain Zhang Shiliang and found out the rebellious Chen Yan, Liu Zhi, and Liang Tao, and they were executed! Descendants will never be hired. Then Wang Yansuo, Fan Zuyu, and Liu Anshi were exiled to Lingnan. ”

"You'er, did you say that this thing for my father was beautiful?" Cai Jing had a smile of remembrance on his face.

He was really young and vigorous at that time, and he couldn't see the villain doing trouble, and after a small theft was traced, he finally did a big thing!

"Of course, the entire Bianjing City is praising my father for his beauty, and it may not be the case if you change someone." Of course Cai You knows.

At that time, a Cai Jing and a Cai Bian, the reputation of the two brothers in the Great Song Dynasty. It's not the kind of prestige that Han Qi is second and Wang Wenzheng is second.

At that time, his father was Cai You's pride, and in the school, he also attracted attention because of his father.

"When did you become what you are now? Oh, I remember, when the current Emperor Taishang ascended the throne. Your uncle was degraded again and again by King Duan, that is, the current Emperor Taishang, can I be spared? I'm not as good as your uncle. ”

"Even Zhang Dun, who made immortal achievements in the southern and northern wars, was demoted."

"It's funny. Zhang Dian is also a traitor, and I am also a person in the legend of a traitor, haha. Cai Jing laughed twice, his eyes revealing nostalgia for the past eventful years.

When King Duan ascended the throne, he was already in his fifties and wanted to take revenge in his life. But he has never been able to get out, and he can no longer see the way to become the prime minister.

"At that time, I didn't know what kind of demon wind was in the court, and I just demoted my father to Jiangning Mansion. Before my father left, he even took the position of the prefect of Jiangning Mansion, and threw it directly to Hangzhou, lifting Dongxiao Palace and managing a Daomen, which is also a strange thing. Cai You said dissatisfied.

At that time, he was already preparing for the imperial examination, so he followed his father's back and forth to Hangzhou.

At that time, Hangzhou was not called Lin'an. It was only when Xuanhe was three years old that he changed his name.

"Your uncle died of depression, lost his chances, and lost all official positions to realize his ambitions. As a result, I befriended Tong Guan and was reprimanded by your uncle, and your uncle's family has no contact with us until now. ”

"Tong Guan was an enshrined official in Hangzhou at that time, and I took the opportunity to paint a painting for the Emperor Taishang, called "The Picture of Ai Mo Zhu", hahahaha!" Cai Jing suddenly burst out laughing.

Cai You kept patting Cai Jing's back and said cautiously: "Father, slow down, slow down." ”

"You know what? I wrote edicts to Emperor Shenzong and Emperor Zhezong to gain insight into the world's major events. ”

"I solved the Wen Jifu case, and I also followed your uncle to the Liao State envoy, and I did everything I could. I'm a scholar, and I can't go to the battlefield with a gun. ”

Cai Jing was still laughing wildly, constantly patting his knees, and laughing wildly: "I couldn't find a way to be an official, so I found Tong Guan, befriended Tong Guan, and offered a painting." ”

"A painting! Hahahaha! A painting. ”

"I became the governor of Dingzhou, and then I was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, one year! It took only one year to go from Dingzhou Zhizhou to Shangshu Zuocheng! ”

"Ridiculous, you say? Have you ever seen a painter who can be a prime minister? I've seen it, and I am. Cai Jing pointed to his nose and looked at Cai You with blazing eyes, his face full of mockery.

Cai Jing didn't stop, and continued to say loudly: "Later, your father and I summed up the first key to being an official and ingratiated. ”

"And when others see the emperor, they all make a mockery, I'm not, I see it and kowtow. To please Tong Guan and the emperor, I will do everything I can. ”

"Everyone in the world is waiting and seeing, I hope that I, the big Cai, can make a difference when I come to power, I have set up a lecture department, the clan, redundant officials, state, business travel, Yanze, taxation, Yin Mu, all in your father, me! of the hands. ”

"I went to the imperial examination method, ordered the prefectures and counties to follow the Taixue three-house method to elect officials, and built Biyong in the south of Bianjing City, which was the foreign school of Taixue to settle scholars from all over the world. Implement the Fangtian Law in the world. Tea on the river and Huai seven roads. Salt is monopolized. ”

"What the officials are doing now! It's all my doing! ”

Cai Jing shouted extremely angrily: "Did I do a bad job in raising the Lecture Division?!" He has a golden man in his official family, and I also stipulated that he would be rewarded with 300 horses of silk for killing a Xixia person, and the soldiers of the Western Army almost killed the Xixia people! ”

"Some even count the heads of the Qiang people, and I do the same! Admit it! As long as you kill Hu, there will be a bounty, 300 horses of silk, and 100 acres of fertile land! ”

"More money than the current official family, Fang Tianfa directly let your father and me, who were scolded by the courtiers, be bloody, but I still implement it."

"Because I know that the Great Song Dynasty does not have a field system! Land annexation is a trend! ”

"There will only be more and more displaced people in the world, the forbidden army and the box army will not be able to contain it, and the landlord's commission will be lower and lower, which is enough to destroy the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, can I not know?"

"Who am I! I'm Cai Jing! Cai Jing, who is famous all over the world! I know what to do! But what can I do? Cai Jing said as he spoke, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down.

Cai You didn't know how to comfort his father, in comparison, he was the echo worm of the Emperor, and he would do whatever the Emperor asked him to do, far inferior to his father.

Cai Jing was still reminiscing, he thought about it and said: "In the third year of Daguan, Taiwan was impeached, so I took advantage of the situation to retire, resigned, lived in Bianjing, and became an old man. ”

"The student Chen Chaolao impeached me with a comet between Kuisu and Lousu, and counted me for fourteen crimes. Then I was sent to Hangzhou by the Emperor Taishang. ”

"I was thinking that wherever I was an old man, I was an old man. As a result, the Emperor Taishang got me back to the capital and made me the prime minister. ”

"It was probably from that time that I began to covet authority, and in order to collect millions of gifts for the emperor, I began to make a lot of money."

"At that time, the treasury had tens of thousands of taxes all year round, and it was enough to be happy, and rich enough to prepare gifts."

So he cast Jiuding, built Mingtang, repaired Fangze, established Taoism, made "Da Sheng Le", and formulated the life treasure. Meng Changling was appointed as the messenger of the capital, and the three mountains of Daling were dug and the two bridges of Tiancheng and Shenggong were built. It's all a great achievement. ”

"The work-for-work relief prison that the official family is doing now is not what I originally thought."

"These landless people, when they go to the forbidden army and the box army, they still eat white rice and receive money, it is better to go to the mountains to open the mountains and build bridges, which can be regarded as a blessing."

"Originally, it cost a lot of money to build a large number of buildings, and the Emperor Taishang wanted to repair Yanfu Palace and Longjingjiang, so he couldn't make up enough for him, and he wanted to repair Genyue Palace. It costs money. ”

"Which one doesn't cost money? I gradually couldn't make up the money, and the emperor began to dislike me. Alas. ”

Cai Jing summed up his life, compared to Cai Jing's sighs, Cai You could only be silent, in fact, it was he who gave Cai Jing the final blow and completely drove Cai Jing out of the court.

At that time, the public opinion was scolding his father for being a traitor.

Now that I think about it, who was not a person who was dedicated to the people's peace and security?

How did you get to be like this?

"Cai You, tell me, what are the officials going to do next?" Cai Jing wiped away his two lines of tears and began to dissect the situation in the world.

"The official family came into being, I don't know." Cai You answered honestly.

Cai Jing nodded and said, "I know what he's going to do." ”

"Local schools are established throughout the country; Establish a three-level school system linked to county school, state school, and Taixue school; New Biyong, the development of Taixue; The establishment of medicine was resumed, and specialized schools of arithmetic, calligraphy, and painting were established; Boycott the imperial examination and change it to the school to take the scholars. Cai Jing said with a smile, looking like he was holding a Zhizhu.

"How did my father guess that?" Cai You frowned, this new official family, my father should have only met once.

Cai Jing said proudly: "This is what I do." Whether it's Fang Tian Fa, or Jun Tian Fa, who has military merits. Its important problem is to pry the corner of the landlord. ”

"Then you see, the landlords found that their interests were shaken, they would not participate in the imperial examination, and now a big storm is brewing in the south, and the imperial examination will not be able to take scholars, so they can only take examiners from the academy."

"So the official, in the end, I still have to do what I have to do. Ha ha. The genius who came into being coincided with my thoughts, and I am very proud of my father. Cai Jing had relief on his face.

What else is more heartbreaking than the death of one's own people?

As for the name left in the history books, in fact, he doesn't care very much, he prefers what he does, and the tangible changes brought to the Great Song Dynasty can be carried out forever.

"The study of different disciplines is an imperative measure. Today's arithmetic is a twelve-volume, twelve-year school system. If you don't study different subjects, no one will be able to learn from the past and the present, so I guessed what the officials were going to do. ”

Cai Jing said with a smile, with the old fox's triumphant smile on his face, he followed the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing, in fact, he just wanted to see what the new official family looked like.

I've seen it, and I have no regrets.

Tong Guan is a loyal fan of the Emperor Taishang, and he Cai Jing just wants to enter Beijing to see the new emperor, that's all.

Even if he dies in Bianjing, at the age of eighty, he will live enough.

"Actually, the more I look at the official family, the more I look alike, the official family saved those orphans and widows on the wall of Bianjing City, in fact, it is also the same as my nursing home, Anjifang and Leaky Zeyuan? Ha ha. ”

Cai Jing smiled so satisfied.

He did a lot of bad things, and he did some good things.

But these good things, the official family is also continuing to do, he can see the hope of the Great Song Dynasty and the hope of eternal prosperity, that is enough.

Zhao Huan was also looking at Cai Jing's information, he slumped in his chair, Cai Jing had done many, many evil things, his crime was unforgivable, and his crime should be punished.

But from a historical macro perspective, he is trying to enlighten science. [Note 2]

The word science is actually the study of different disciplines.

In later generations, there was still some scientific Western inevitability, believing that it was impossible for science to be born in China!

But these people, not even what science itself is, do not know.

I don't even bother to Baidu with the meaning of the term!

After kneeling for a long time, the knees have taken root. If you really want to say this term, Cai Jing did this thing, and abolished the imperial examination.

But Cai Jing was still delayed by Song Huizong, and this delay was eight hundred years.

It was not until after the guns of the Xinhai Revolution rang out that the concept of learning by discipline and forming a knowledge system through detailed classification of various knowledge appeared again on the land of China.

It was Song Huizong who delayed science and the study of different disciplines.

If Cai Jing can be used well, he will also be a good person, but it is a pity that Song Huizong used him to plunder money.

If he can't get money, he will fall out of favor and be degraded.

As for anything Cai Jing did, he didn't see it, in the eyes of Song Huizong, did he only have his own enjoyment?

Isn't there a little bit of the world?

Is this still an emperor?!

Zhao Huan's killing intent rose again!

This Song Huizong! He is a sinner of history! He delayed the course of history, and if he was a little more reliable, he would not have gotten to the current situation.

To kill or not to kill?
