…

After the winter, thieves flocked to the Jingdong Road, and the situation in the north suddenly became severe.

This undoubtedly made the already sad Great Song Kingdom even worse.

Cai Jing and his party took the opportunity to quarrel, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan were too light to take on the role of prime minister, and they were unable to suppress the world, so they called for Cai Jing to come out again.

The most pressing problem facing the Song State now is that the state has no money, and it needs money everywhere.

What's more critical is that Wang Hao, who can make money, has been taken down by Zhao Ji, and the rest of Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and others are all good at making money, so they will stare at each other for money.

This can't help but remind Zhao Ji of the happy days he squandered casually when Cai Jing was in power, and then moved the idea of re-using Cai Jing as the prime minister.

Zhu Mian was very favored at this time, and the story of his father and son forcing the people in the southeast had already turned the page, and Zhao Ji's favor for him was especially better than before.

Seeing that Zhao Ji intended to reinstate Cai Jing as a prime minister, Zhu Mian, who had always been very close to Cai Jing, strongly persuaded him.

So, in December of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji wrote an edict to Cai Jing: "I hold power and take advantage of the essentials, take the right way, and give things and merit, and the responsibility lies with the minister." Since the beginning of the year, Ren is not his person, and in the political loss, he is clearly frightened. Reciting the teachings of my martyr's examination, repairing the reform of the Gu and the malpractices, holding on to the followers, wantonly approaching, and putting the division to discuss. Taishi Zhishi Cai Jing Fu Zhen Chu, with a Shuo, skin belongs to Min Lao, with official positions, that is, Anli Luxian, his words and deeds still depend on Yan. The book is not cloudy: 'If you inquire about Huang Shu, you will be disregarded. 'Jing Ke is also the secretary of the council, listen to the private tribunal, still exempt from signing books, do not work hard, in order to call me the beauty of the old and greedy. ”

In this way, Cai Jing re-emerged from the mountain, concurrently led the lecture department, still led the three provincial affairs, went to the court on the fifth day to invite him, went to the capital hall to govern affairs, and once again appeared on the political stage of the Great Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing's first appointment as prime minister was in July of the first year of Chongning, when Cai Jing was fifty-six years old and Zhao Ji was twenty-one years old.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was faced with a choice between two paths, either the road of reform or the road of conservatism, and the new party and the old party waged a fierce struggle for this.

Zhao Ji, who had just been in power for a short time, was eager to make a difference, so he resolutely chose "Shao Shu Father and Brother" to take the road of reform, and chose Cai Jing as the first auxiliary minister.

Cai Jing was grateful to Zhao Ji for his kindness, and was determined to die in revenge.

After Cai Jing came to power, he quickly set off a vigorous upsurge of Chongning reforms, and the country soon took on a new look.

But in February of the fifth year of Chongning, Cai Jing, who had been prime minister for less than four years, was dismissed by Zhao Ji because of his autocratic power.

At that time, although Cai Jing had retired, the connections he had carefully built in the court were still there.

Therefore, only ten months later, in December of the fifth year of Chongning, Cai Jing made a comeback and served as prime minister for the second time.

Until June of the third year of Daguan, many ministers impeached Cai Jing's dictatorship, so that Zhao Ji also began to hate Cai Jing, so Cai Jing resigned for the second time.

Cai Jing was 63 years old at the time, and he thought he could say goodbye to politics — he was forced to leave Tokyo and live in Hangzhou despite being out of power but still under constant attacks from his political opponents.

In February of the second year of Zhenghe, Cai Jing suddenly received an edict from Zhao Ji's imperial pen, counted Cai Jing's achievements, and summoned Cai Jing back to Beijing.

Cai Jing was overjoyed and moved his family back to Tokyo.

In April, Zhao Ji hosted a banquet for Cai Jing in the Taiqing Building of the Inner Garden, and asked the prince to accompany him, which moved Cai Jing.

In May, Zhao Ji issued an edict to order the Taishi Cai Jing to settle down and discuss matters in the capital hall on the first day of the third day.

As a result, Cai Jing served as prime minister for the third time.

Cai Jing served as prime minister for nine years.

Those nine years were the most glorious period of Cai Jing's life, the most glorious period of the Song Huizong era, and it can even be said to be the peak and heyday of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

Cai Jing's third resignation is related to the strategy of recovering Yanyun.

When Zhao Ji first launched the strategy of "Lianjin to destroy Liao and recover Yanyun", Cai Jing strongly agreed with and actively promoted it, but then his attitude slowly changed.

The reason why Cai Jing's attitude changed was that he was dissatisfied with Tong Guan always crossing him to Zhao Ji alone, and secondly, because he realized the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty and the fact that the border was not ready for war, and he was afraid that there would be unpredictable consequences if he dared to provoke a war.

Once, Zhao Ji had a banquet in the forbidden song, and everyone went boating together after drinking. Zhao Ji suddenly gave Tong Guan a piece of paper, asking him to tell Cai Jing that everyone should express their stance on the recovery of Yanyun, and sign the piece of paper if they agree.

Cai Jing refused to sign, saying: "Rong carefully presents the book, and it is difficult to get the title of the book." ”

Cai Jing's negative attitude towards the recovery of Yanyun made Zhao Ji think that Cai Jing was old, so he asked Wang Huang, who was in the prime of life and actively supported the recovery of Yanyun, to replace Cai Jing.

A digression here.

If Cai Jing does not regain his appearance again, with Cai Jing's previous political achievements, even if he cannot become a generation of famous ministers, he will definitely be a qualified prime minister and will not become one of the six thieves.

It's a pity that Cai Jing is too greedy for power.

Now, Cai Jing has been invited out by Zhao Ji again and has been appointed prime minister for the fourth time.

This year, Cai Jing is nearly eighty years old, blind and unable to write, unable to kneel on his feet, all documents that need to be signed by Cai Jing, he has asked Ji Zi Cai Qian to do it, and even the last court performance is replaced by Cai Juan.

Every time Cai Qian went to the court, the attendants greeted him and whispered, and dozens of officials held the papers.

Cai Xuan's arrogance and bravado aroused strong dissatisfaction among the ministers.

And the most dissatisfied among them are Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan - although they are prime ministers, they have almost no right to deal with any official affairs, and can only handle affairs according to the documents signed by Cai Juan.

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China are afraid of Cai Qian like a tiger, Cai You is not afraid, he does not take this little brother in his eyes at all, and he is still secretly looking for strong evidence to get rid of this little brother.

Previously, Zhao Ji had the intention of promoting Cai You to be the prime minister, but many people clearly objected: "Cai Liu is not worthy of being a prime minister!" Cai Yu then fell into the knots and still led the Privy Council.

Although Cai You has no talent, he is still very enthusiastic about climbing to the throne of prime minister.

And as long as Cai Qian is killed, Cai Jing can be forced back, and he Cai You has hope to climb to the throne of prime minister.

Li Bangyan and others fanned the flames and tried their best to provoke the contradictions between Cai You, Cai Jing and Cai Qian - they hoped to use Cai You's hand to combat Cai You's arrogance.

In the first month of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Xu Kangzong, a member of the Fenglang Shangshu Division, sent an envoy to the Jin State to congratulate Wu Qimai on his ascension to the throne of the Dajin Emperor.

When passing by Yanjing, Xu Kangzong was surprised to find that there was an extremely serious famine in Yandi, his parents ate his son, and even the corpses of the sick and died were marked on the market to sell for money, not to mention the common people, even the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were so hungry that they were skinny, and many soldiers even starved to death.

In fact, in the face of this situation, Zhao Ji also tried to change.

Last year, Zhao Ji assigned the task of ensuring the grain supply in Yanjing to Hebei, Hedong, and Jingdong roads near Yanjing, and the officials of the transportation departments of each road distributed the amount of grain to the people.

Due to the lack of transportation power, the officials of the transportation departments also specifically asked the people to transport grain to Yanjing for payment.

In order to transport one stone of grain, the freight along the way costs more than a dozen or even twenty stones of grain, which brought great trouble and even disaster to the people.

In addition, in the past two years, there have been disasters and famines in Hebei, Jingdong and other roads year after year, the harvest is very bad, and hunger is everywhere.

As a result, a number of anti-donation storms or peasant uprisings broke out one after another in various localities, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The influence is relatively large, Zhang Wanxian in Shandong, with a number of 100,000; Zhang Di in Shandong, with more than 50,000 people; Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei Province, which claims to have 300,000 people; The other twenty or thirty thousand are innumerable.

Speaking of which, Zhao Ji and Song Guo have to thank Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan.

These rebels, as well as those who were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, finally either actively or passively (driven by the Song army), all gathered on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and then were transported to Kyushu and other eight counties by the people of Shuibo Liangshan, otherwise these endless rebels alone would be enough for the Song State to drink a pot.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Ji and Song Guo didn't want to give these victims to Li Yan and Liangshan.

But those victims saw that Song Guo didn't even give them the last way to live, they were really desperate, and many Song soldiers couldn't bear to stop the last way of life for the victims.

Later, Li Yan simply sent someone to talk to Song Guo and promised to give Song Guo 500,000 catties of good iron in exchange for these victims.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Jijunchen no longer stopped preventing Li Yan from recruiting these victims.

As a result, the victims of Lianghe, Jingxi, Zhejiang, Huanqing, Suining, Jingyuan and other places migrated to the Jiaodong Peninsula one after another, and then moved to eight counties including Kyushu by Shuibo Liangshan.

(Hedong and Yandi are too far away from the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the Song State strictly forbids the people of these two places to leave - these two places are related to the national defense of the Song State, and the war has caused some of the two places to lose a lot of people, how can the Song State let the people of these two places leave?) ）

Within a few months, six or seven million victims had been recruited from Shuibo Liangshan, and the number was increasing rapidly.

Although there is Shuibo Liangshan to help Song Guo relieve the pressure of disaster victims and riots, for Song Guo, this year is still full of disasters and difficulties.

In the first month, a major earthquake suddenly occurred in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, and houses collapsed in many places, causing serious casualties and property losses, and even Tokyo Bianliang felt the earthquake.

At the beginning of February, Zhao Ji heard of the great hunger in Yanshan, and immediately issued an edict, requiring 500,000 Hu to be transported from Beijing to Yanshan, and ordered Meng Kui, the waiter of the Ministry of Labor, to go to the measures in person.

Meng Kui led the fleet from Beijing, along the north of the Great River, from Baoxin Shatang into the Lu River, and then transported to Yanjing.

At this time, Cai Xuan, who was in power, was wanton for profit, rewarded and punished in an orderly manner, sent envoys out of all directions, begged for interviews, and recommended those who liked it, otherwise he would be impeached, and the Chinese and foreign gentry would all look sideways.

Moreover, Cai Qian also imitated the Ying Fengsi set up by Wang Huang and created a Xuanhe Ku-style tribute division - in fact, Cai Sui's move was also to raise money for Zhao Ji and Song Guo, but because his methods were not clever enough, the Xuanhe Ku-style tribute division also became a handle for him to be attacked.

Cai Juan's arrogance and wanton made Cai You extremely angry, and he secretly stepped up his search for evidence to get rid of Cai Juan.

The hard work paid off, and Cai You finally found strong evidence in a book written by Cai Qian called "Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty".

In this book, Cai Qian dared to quote the remarks of Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, which is the evidence of the crime - Zhao Ji issued an edict not long ago, explicitly prohibiting the quotation of Su and Huang Wenji, otherwise it will be considered a violation.

At the same time, Cai Juan also had a bigger handle, which was caught by Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, that is, Cai Juan used his power to promote his brother-in-law Han Yu to serve as the head of the household.

Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan impeached Cai Qian in the previous dynasty, accusing him of stealing power and abusing power for personal gain.

Cai You was even more vicious, and he even suggested to Zhao Ji that Cai Qian be executed.

Zhao Ji had long heard of Cai Juan's performance, and he had long been very dissatisfied, so he ordered Cai Juan's exile.

Cai Jing hurriedly entered the palace to beg when he heard the news.

Zhao Ji saw Cai Jing's face, exempted Cai Qian from exile, ordered Cai Qian to be suspended, and revoked Cai Xuan's birth edict.

At this time, Zhao Ji was very disappointed in Cai Jing, he knew that today's Cai Jing was no longer the Cai Jing of the past, and he hoped that Cai Jing would take the initiative to resign.

However, Cai Jing was obsessed with power and was obsessed with power, and he was unwilling to hand over the power of prime minister.
