Cai's house, the study, a light like a bean.

Shangguan Jun, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, sat opposite Cai Jing and described in detail the whole process of his grandson's beating.

A few maids knelt beside them, and from time to time they brought them tea.

Cai Jing pressed his head, closed his eyes and shook his head, and said, "Yanheng, Tong'er is not sensible, and I have caused trouble to your criminal department." ”

"Where did the Taishi say, it didn't help much."

Shangguan Jun was a standard old party, and he once tried his best to obstruct Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law.

When he was taking the imperial examination, Lu Dalin and Su Shi both rated him as the first, but because of the strategy to slander Wang Anshi's change of law, he was changed to second by the chief examiner Lu Huiqing.

Such a hard bone did not support Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law, but he was very interested in Cai Jing's new policy, so he was saved in this purge.

Because of this, the old party monument of Yuan You was also ridiculed by Shilin as a tool for Cai Yang to gain power, which belonged to the Sacred Heart of Bewitchment.

Cai Jing sent Shangguan Jun away, stood at the door and sighed, he had been the prime minister for three years.

In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, the prime minister's term of office exceeded three years, and he generally had to resign himself to give others a chance.

Otherwise, the entire court will point fingers at you, saying that you are greedy for power and do not know how to advance or retreat.

This is also why Yang Lin chose this season to make a move, because he knew that Cai Jing wanted to be re-elected.

If he is re-elected, Cai Jing will definitely work with himself to carry out a big purge.

As a matter of fact, the new party and the old party can be purged as long as it is a party that blocks the road.

This time, the old party has a lot of people and occupies too many good positions, so the old party is unlucky.

Now through Yang Lin's troubles, his phase has stabilized a little more, and today's official family is not an ordinary emperor, and it is not impossible for him to be re-elected as the first and auxiliary prime minister.

Standing in the position of Cai Jing and enjoying the taste of the fluttering immortal dominating the world, who is willing to retreat easily.

But in this way, it is bound to make Yang Lin bigger, which is also a headache for Cai Jing.

Back in front of the seat in the study, a maid poured him a cup of hot tea, Cai Jing looked at the steaming heat, and felt a little irritable in his heart.

After Qin Hui, who sent an envoy to Daliao, returned, he brought the news that Khitan Wen Tian Wu Huan, Jun Duan and Chenyong, and that peace could be exchanged for some money on the border of Yandi.

Liang Shicheng supported a Tong Guan, and he wanted to transfer the victorious army to defend Hebei in the court, and there was a faint meaning of persuading the officials to go on a northern expedition.

Tong Guan is too high-spirited, he can conspire with himself to fight Xia to promote his official position, and he can conspire with Liang Shicheng to conspire against Youyan in the north.

The current situation between the DPRK and China is more complicated than in the past, and there are no factions with clear barriers, but there are two big mountains of themselves and Liang Shicheng to compete faintly.

In addition to these two parties, there is also a slightly inferior Yang Lin, who is also an enemy and a friend to each other, and the relationship between them depends on what the situation is.

Today, he can work with Yang Lin to engrave Liang Shicheng's father and uncle on the traitorous party monument, and tomorrow he can also work with Liang Shicheng to suppress Yang Lin.

The candle flickered, and the maid picked it open with a silver needle, and asked in a low voice, "Master, it's late at night, don't you rest?" ”

"Wait a little longer and bring me the file."

Cai Jing held the list of officials in the DPRK and China and carefully studied them one by one.

---

In Zhaode Fang, the clouds and rain are beginning to stop.

Yang Lin stroked the beauty in his arms, the girl of Zhong Lingyuxiu who was bred by the Bai clan in the southwest, and it really had a unique flavor.

Duan Miaozhen's white fingers drew circles on his chest, and he said in a low voice: "Lin Lang, do you know where the Song army hit, and I don't know what happened to my father and emperor?" ”

Yang Lin rolled his eyes, placed her on the rattan chair, held Duan Miaozhen's delicate cheeks, and said affectionately: "Miaozhen, there is something I have to tell you, even if I am charged with treason, I don't want to hide it from you." ”

Princess Duan Miaozhen of Dali chuckled in her heart, her lips trembled, and she trembled: "Out... What happened? ”

Yang Lin let out a long sigh and said, "Today, Your Majesty summoned several of our ministers to discuss in the Wenhua Hall and talk about Dali's state affairs... Prime Minister Cai Jing scolded me and said that my offer to help the Duan clan eliminate traitors was a misguided strategy.

He even roared at the officials: The Great Song Dynasty has lost such soldiers and spent so much money and food, how can it make wedding clothes for others. ”

Duan Miaozhen's eyes were black, she almost fainted, she was choked by Yang Lin, and after waking up, she asked, "Yet... And then what? What do the officials say? ”

"The official family hesitated, and I took the case and angrily accused Cai Jing of being untrustworthy! In the relationship between people, morality comes first, let alone between two countries. ”

Duan Miaozhen had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and stared at Yang Lin hoping that he would finish speaking soon.

Yang Lin stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "It's a pity that my heartfelt words are ringing, but they can't reach the ears of the officials." He listened to Cai Jing's words, and he might trick your Dali royal family into Bianliang and behead them all over the place! ”

"Huh?"

Duan Miaozhen was like a thunderbolt, her body was weak, and she couldn't move.

"On the side of the couch, it allows others to sleep soundly, this is what the ancestor of this dynasty said. Think about it, Meng Chang, the queen of Shu, and Li Yu, the queen of the Tang Dynasty, were all poisoned after the Great Song Dynasty stabilized, what happened to the flower-like little Zhou Hou and Mrs. Hua Rui in their harem? Yang Lin continued to scare.

Duan Miaozhen struggled, climbed down from the rattan chair, collapsed on the soft Persian carpet, and hugged Yang Lin's calf: "Lin Lang, you must save your father and the emperor, save our Duan clan." Miaozhen is helpless, only you can help me, only you can save us. ”

At this time, what kind of restoration and seizure of power is already a thing of the past.

The entire Duan clan may be wiped out by the whole family, this is not alarmist. As long as it is the emperor's house, how can anyone not read history books, only a hundred years have passed in the past five generations, how many kingdoms have collapsed, and the royal family has no heir.

What's more, Duan Miaozhen, as an envoy of Dali, had just watched the ceremony of dedication in Western Xia, and Li Qianshun was beheaded all over the house, which is a living example.

Yang Lin's face was embarrassed, his eyebrows were frowning, and he looked hesitant. Said: "Alas, how I don't want to save your Duan clan, it's just... I'm afraid that when the time comes, even I will be implicated, and I will try my best to protect the monarch of the dead country, the official family... Someone will definitely impeach me for harboring evil intentions. ”

Duan Miaozhen crouched on her legs, her body was close to the ground, her forehead was pressed against the carpet, and she knelt down and said: "If Lin Lang can protect Miao Zhen's parents and clansmen, Miao Zhen is willing to serve Lin Lang for the rest of her life." ”

The kneeling posture of the five bodies on the ground is really attractive, Yang Lin swallowed his saliva, his eyes swept greedily, and quickly helped the person up.

His eyes exuded unprecedented tenderness, and he reached out to sweep the green silk that Miaozhen was wet with tears in his ears, and said softly: "You are the girl I like from the bottom of my heart, I can't do anything for you." ”
