"Is it true that he and Cai Xiang don't deal with each other?"

Here are some of the trajectories in Zhao Cheng's small number of historical memories, by the way.

Zhang Ji tilted his head with a bad look, "It depends on how you understand it." Basically, whoever has a stronger limelight likes to spray whomever he likes. At the earliest time, he was just a small official in Kaifeng Mansion, and his favorite thing to do was to spray those big officials in the temple, which made him taste the sweetness, the more he sprayed, the bigger his official became, and soon in order to get him out of Beijing, he became the Hedong Road Prison Division, and then Hebei, Jiangxi, and Huainan have done it, and they are all like watching the flowers and flowers. Because he sprays everywhere he goes, it's all old. ”

Zhang Ji continued, "During the period of Emperor Zhezong, he loved to spray Yuan Youdang, Wen Yanbo, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others were sprayed a lot by him. ”

Zhao Cheng paused, "If that's the case, he should be friends with Cai Jing?" ”

Zhang Ji nodded, "This is the case in the present period, he was good friends with Cai Jing at the beginning, especially Chongning Nian was very prosperous for a while, and after Cai Jing worshiped the prime minister, he became Cai Jing Zuocheng (assistant prime minister)." However, in a short period of time, there were differences in political opinions, perhaps because he was honest and honest, or maybe because of his personality. As a result, some imperial historians came out to say that Lao Zhang was morally corrupt, and Zhang Shangying sprayed the Yuanyou Party for a while, and patted the Yuanyou Party horses for a while, and his position and ideas were not firm. ”

Zhao Cheng said with a strange expression, "Presumably Lao Zhang will respond with the right thing and not the right person?" ”

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "That's how he responded." Maybe he's really right about things and not about people, and maybe this is his way of dealing with the world, in short, this thing is unrecognizable to outsiders, I'm afraid no one knows it except himself. However, he is honest and honest, and he is relatively upright, which has a good reputation. ”

"And then?" Zhao Cheng asked again.

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "It was the prosperous period of Cai Jing, and Zhang Shangying slandered Cai Jinggan several times, and he would definitely be demoted, but the result was of course degraded out of Bozhou." Follow him lucky, encounter the star change, Cai Jing avoided suspicion, Zhao Tingzhi period he was used to Hangzhou again, and returned to the old line of the Liangzhejiang Road Criminal Prison Division. That's his resume. ”

Zhao Cheng felt that what Zhang Ji said was relatively accurate, and he had minimized his evaluation of Lao Zhang. Zhang Shangying is a good person, generally upright, but he is ambitious and talented, even if he has had opportunities many times, he has been appreciated by Wang Anshi and Emperor Huizong, but he has not made any achievements.

He is indeed a little wavering, and the period when he was appreciated by Wang Anshi was when he Zhang Shangying sprayed Sima Guang and Lu Gong's Wen Yanbo, and then he was a very weird black fan, and he wrote a lot of articles and classics or something to support Sima Guang and these people.

Wang Anshi's era has passed, but the era of Cai Bian and Cai Jing is almost coming, so the black fans of Sima Guang and others have really become the enemies of the Cai family. However, the difference between his Lao Zhang and Lu Huiqing is that he actually befriended Cai Jing in the early years of Chongning, and with the help of Lao Cai's east wind, he logged into the temple and became Zuocheng.

Overall, the ups and downs of this troll have not fallen for three dynasties, and after Cai Jing, he will have a chance to officially become the prime minister, but unfortunately he really didn't do anything, and took the old path of Zhao Ting, and the only thing he did in the phase was to negate Cai Jing's policies, which caused a big movement in a short period of time and stepped down again.

In the end, Zhang Ji said: "I have been delayed for a lot of time, I still have a lecture hall, and the last thing I want to say is that he and my father are okay, but they are not good with my second uncle." ”

Zhao Cheng looked strange, her uncle Zhang Kegong was also a big troll, and the two trolls surnamed Zhang were together, so it was naturally impossible to deal with.

Zhang Ji has already left and gone to the lecture hall.

And Zhao Cheng reconfirmed what he was doing according to Lao Zhang's resume.

"It must be in place of Cai Jing to maintain stability and thin mud."

For Zhang Shangying, Zhao Cheng felt that there was only this explanation.

People like Zhang Shangying don't care whether they are honest or not, based on their qualifications, they are old and knowledgeable, and there is no doubt that they are an old child with a glass heart. In fact, this is the true nature of a literati, if he is a traitor, he will not be like this, it will be very thick-skinned and seemingly kind.

With such a glass heart, he had a disagreement with Cai Jing at that time, and slandered Lao Cai several times, so he was driven out of the central government to know Bozhou, so he must have made a feud with Cai Jing, there is no doubt about it. But in fact, Lao Cai is already very gentle, damn the **** to slander the policies of the rulers, and he has slandered him several times like a troll, just degrading the local government is already very good.

In fact, even if it were in civilized times, it would be more serious than that.

But now that he has a grudge against Cai Jing, he is willing to accept Lao Cai's appointment to enter this Chizhou, and there should be several explanations.

One is that a scholar like him naturally doesn't like to fight, doesn't like the atmosphere of blood and fire, and when the official army (Zhao Cheng) has not won the battle for a long time and is in an unfavorable situation, such a scholar will be afraid, and choose to compromise Zhao'an in order to avoid casualties among the people.

The second is that his attributes like to spew limelight, and now Zhao Cheng is, so he came.

Moreover, Zhao Cheng suspected that the qualitative Manichaean issue would usher in trouble, and Lao Zhang was the criminal officer of Liangzhejiang Road.

Zhao Cheng concluded in the Battle of Lingyang Mountain that it was Manichaeism. Since Manichaeism is so bold, this is tantamount to showing that the bureaucrats of the two Zhejiang roads were all blind before this, and Zhang Shangying, the criminal officer, has the greatest theory of responsibility. As a result, Lao Zhang's glass-hearted character will rebound greatly.

The fourth is that Zhang Shangying does not trust the Cai family, and the incident in Lingyang Mountain that prevents the entire Liangzhejiang Road bureaucrats from coming to Taiwan is determined by Zhao Cheng, Cai You's subordinate and prospective son-in-law. Zhang Shangying should naturally distrust the Lingyangshan incident. In the case that he doesn't know what the truth is, it is very likely to be understood as a political blow or even persecution of his Lao Zhang.

The above four points are Zhao Cheng's guess and Zhang Shangying's original intention of being willing to accept Cai Jing's appointment to Chizhou.

As for why did the treacherous and cunning Cai Jing appoint Zhang Shangying instead of others?

This seems very ambiguous, and Zhao Cheng has a hunch: Cai Jing is vacillating, suffering from gains and losses.

At the earliest, Cai Jing was impatient with his son Cai You due to financial difficulties, and wanted to try an alternative way. This is the reason why Cai Jing acquiesced to Zhang Shuye, Zhang Kangguo and others to deploy the Wuwei Army into Chizhou.

It's not that Lao Cai really can't stop this process, it's that he is playing balance, pretending that he can't stop it, and giving his horse boy in the southeast region a beating, so that they don't look too ugly.

But seeing that the Wuwei army was in trouble, he stabbed the basket but there was no battle report favorable to the imperial court for a long time, and he was defeated one after another. Then Cai Jing definitely didn't want to be in chaos in the southeast, so he wanted to extinguish the fire and adopt Zhao'an's mitigation strategy, anyway, this is basically the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty.

But even Zhao'an, in Cai Jing's position, is not at ease to hand over to his own people at this time, because in essence, these disasters are caused by his own people, and now they are handed over to his own people, and the southeast region will be further down, so Lao Cai chose Zhang Shangying, who is relatively upright and dares to speak, to do this. The reputation will be better, and the resistance from Zhang Shuye and others will be much smaller.

I think it's basically smooth, maybe it's a little biased, but it shouldn't deviate too much from the core of this "transaction".

Even if she doesn't have a bottom in her heart, the stinky daughter-in-law still has to see her in-laws, so she can only go to the state government to see Cai You's attitude, and then see if Huang Wenbing, the old fox, is really as promised before, and will help Zhao Cheng withstand political pressure......

Enter the state office.

Cai You, Huang Wenbing, and Wang Hao and other key officials in Chizhou are putting a seemingly immortal wind bone...... No, it should be an extremely elegant person gathered around the core, drinking tea and talking.

That person is Zhang Shangying, who really lives up to his reputation, he is a crazy talent, and he is an elderly handsome guy. With his talent and demeanor, this man must have been a heartthrob when he was young.

Therefore, it is said that there is really a bonus to the appearance of doing things under Zhao Ji, and there is an absolute bonus to learning in the Song Dynasty, which is the reason why this troll has experienced ups and downs through three dynasties without falling, and has been highly praised by Zhao Ji.

"Xiaguan Zhao Cheng, see your ministers."

Zhao Cheng was wearing a green robe and an official hat and wearing it crookedly, which was a little funny, and on this occasion, the green official robe was particularly dazzling.

Their vision made Zhao Cheng feel like the front-line workers in the workshop in later generations who met the director in a suit and leather shoes to inspect when they were covered with oil.
