The snow has stopped, it hasn't melted yet, and the weather is starting to pick up but it's still at the tail end of winter.

The so-called Ruixue Trillion Year, the visible harvest of the coming year, makes the already prosperous Bianjing City active everywhere, and the elite students from all over the country in Taixue have also begun to travel to the snow scene, or sink in the green building and the company of poetry and wine.

In the Great Song Dynasty, some down-to-earth Taoist priests like to use the five elements of yin and yang to explain: the cold winter will slow down the circulation of the whole person, so that the brain and thinking are in a state of "semi-hibernation", so they are relatively inactive.

In fact, there is some truth in this, every winter literati students always publish relatively few essays, and there are often a lot of rebound eruptions near spring. This is the case in Bianjing now.

"Have you heard, the Battle of Chizhou was a great victory, it is rare, without the support of a sufficient number of large troops, our dynasty actually has a winning battle?"

"I've heard about it, but I don't know and don't want to know, and it's not a glorious battle for the rise of a nation, so why should I pay attention?"

"That is, the southeast issue has always been a matter of their mutual sharing of spoils, and the contradictions that have accumulated over time have eventually led to each other's dog's brains being beaten. Regardless of rise or fall, in short, the people suffer. ”

"Yes, it is the people who are suffering. Their appearance is too ugly, and it can be summed up as thousands of unhappy and mindless, concentrated in Chizhou, which is full of money. The Zhao Cheng who got it is like a national hero. ”

"Damn fool, you are also called the people, you are the people, can you study in Taixue? Is it the people, can you know that the root cause of the problem in the southeast lies in the uneven distribution of spoils among several bureaucrats? It's just a matter of pretending to be forced, and you open your mouth and shut up to say such a big proposition as 'the rise and fall of the people'. ”

"Fuck in Fujian to help these turtle sons go against the sky, dare to say that, let's beat them up with a lion and a hydrangea!"

"Drag these Jiangxi hillbillies away and beat them to death first! Dare to say that the Putian Gang is a turtle, you don't know that Cai Xianggong is the Putian department! ”

"Fuck your uncle, the Lao Tzu you said that Jiangxi has never produced a similar slaughter, Wang Anshi, you think it's fake, Lao Cai was promoted by Wang Xianggong!"

Now that Chizhou is winning and spring is about to begin, the "home world war" of the students in Bianjing has finally begun, and countless brawls have occurred, and they often fight each other in the green building.

This is a model of nothing to do when you are full, but you can't blame them, the capital is full of gentlemen, especially the Taixue who is basically full of young people.

To a certain extent, it reflects that no one cares about the process of the "small-scale" campaign in Chizhou, and there is no direct pressure. In everyone's concept, such excessive propaganda is pretending, and it is a matter of course for the court to win a gang of bandits.

Except for Zhang Shuye, no one knew the inside story of the decisive battle of Lingzhi Mountain, because Cai You's document written in Beijing deliberately downplayed this matter, skipping the details of the militia's participation in the war.

Cai You's actions have strong political significance. Zhang Ji?? Not really, but the problem is Zhang Ji?? 's private message does not represent the Chizhou government, but only herself, and is a letter she wrote to her father.

Just like when he saved Scar Qiang, Lao Zhang could only make compromises, but he couldn't beat the bureaucracy, and now in the same way, Zhang Shuye knows that Cai You's actions on this issue must hide a very shocking truth. He was afraid of getting into trouble, so he simply skipped everything and didn't mention it.

The southeast issue needs to be solved, and the next step of deployment requires Lao Cai's political authorization, so Uncle Zhang endured it and decided not to exaggerate the Chizhou incident too much, allowing them to treat the Chizhou incident as a small problem of sending people to catch thieves.

But later, seeing that these gentlemen are becoming more and more disagreeable, and making a fuss, they are simply heartless people.

"When will they only add to the chaos, is this the mainstay of the next generation of our country, it is obviously some teasing. Catch it, but everyone who has no heart and lungs at this juncture will be arrested! ”

Uncle Zhang, who was almost angry to death, slapped the table in the middle hall and roared at night.

"Uh, this ......"

Although by default, Lao Zhang is basically in charge of the daily work of the right division (right minister), but he is not the real prime minister after all, so the secretary of the right division reminded embarrassedly, "Xianggong, the criminal law is not under the control of our right department, and Kaifeng Mansion is not under our guidance......"

Uncle Zhang scolded: "How can there be so many twists and turns, my matter of studying in the court is not called a criminal law incident, but it is a matter of morality, I will talk about it after all of them, and I am not convinced that their father will come to the court to sue me." ”

So began a vigorous campaign to invite students to drink tea.

Politics is just that, sometimes the opportunity is right, it's not that the prime minister still listens to what he says, otherwise how could Zhao Tingzhi sit in the phase at that time, but he was controlled by the "suspended" old Cai Jing to mess up the rule.

Basically, at that time, the Wuwei army entered Chizhou to start the war, which was equivalent to the two of them ending shirtless.

Now that Chizhou relies on Zhao Cheng to win, not only is the financial problem expected to be alleviated soon, resulting in Zhang Shuye, the head of the household department, naturally having merit, but also at the political level, Lao Zhang's deployment is correct and he has political achievements, and if Lao Cai doesn't want to really start a civil war and shake the country's foundation, he needs to avoid suspicion for some time.

In other words, the imperial court always needs one person to take turns to govern, so Zhang Shuye will soon officially add the title of Zhongshu Shilang and preside over the daily work of the Great Song Dynasty as a deputy minister.

Whether it is a war or a political affair, or perhaps a small daily affair, once a trend is formed, it will not be changed casually in a short period of time.

After Uncle Zhang spoke now, a quarter of the children in Bianjing were invited to tea, and the fathers and grandfathers of these guys went to Beijing one after another to go around for public relations, so as not to let the children of the gentlemen leave bad resumes, and staged a strange scene of the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.

Just look at these to know that after the victory in the Battle of Chizhou, Zhang Shuye's political prestige skyrocketed, and although Lao Cai's question of going or staying has not been said for the time being, he has basically not gone to Zhongtang to be on duty, and he lives behind closed doors on the grounds that the weather is cold and his health is not good, and he seems to be unconcerned, but in fact, he knows that Lao Cai now has too many trade-offs to weigh and too many trade-offs to make about the intricate nepotism and protégé issues in the southeast. I can't care about anything else......

The weather in Chizhou has also warmed up.

Zhao Cheng, who had been closed by the ghost gate for a while, still lived in the county dormitory, didn't think much about moving, and spent most of his time sitting on a recliner in the courtyard, covered with a tiger skin, basking in the sun in a daze.

Chen Meiniang and the demon girl Tan Xiaolan took care of them carefully, and kept chattering words such as "Xianggong was almost crippled". The bad thing is that the two of them are around at any time, which leads to Zhang Ji?? It's weird and I don't basically come to meet.

I heard that she is busy preparing for the exam for the students.

The rest is that I often hear people around me talk about the details of the decisive battle of Lingzhi Mountain. It's a pity that Zhao Cheng slammed the street before the decisive battle, and he didn't know what was going on.

Basically, it was completely annihilated, and in the battlefield where the depth of Lingzhi Cottage was not large, the number of rebels who were directly annihilated reached three thousand and five, and it didn't even take half an hour. Listening to Bi Shijing, he was already frightened at that time, and after the rebels were defeated and hundreds of people died, most of them knelt down in the snowstorm and surrendered and put down their weapons.

But Bai Agarwood is the commander-in-chief, Bi Shijing is not. With a vengeful attitude, she decisively carried out Zhao Cheng's instruction of "not accepting surrender" before falling unconscious. I heard that since then it has not been a battle, but an execution.

Zhao Cheng did his best to win Lingzhi Mountain, but at the cost of the overall battle loss of the team as high as seventy percent. This is the result that I only learned when I woke up recently after being in a coma for many days: it was more serious than Zhao Cheng's previous estimate.

"Master Zhu...... Hey, hero, I can't see it in the past, he actually took a few sons and nephews to participate in the battle of Lingzhi Mountain, and after the war for so many days, his bodies were found yesterday, and they all sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield. ”

Listening to several civil servants of the county government passing by and discussing in a low voice, Zhao Cheng's expression became extremely strange.

It is impossible to get out of the battle.

It is impossible for the children of the Zhu family to fight for the country in their lives, in fact, as long as they don't be traitors and drag the officials and soldiers back, then Zhao Cheng can win the Battle of Chizhou more beautifully, and there is no need for so many casualties!

It's just that there is no evidence, but from the very beginning, Zhao Cheng knew what role Zhu Xiao played in this war.

The interests of Chizhou and even the southeast are very large. To put it simply, people who are not children, not the second, third and fourth generations, cannot be qualified to play this wealth feast game. So all the problems in the southeast are the problems of officials, and they are gloves.

The Battle of Chizhou was a battle between gloves and gloves.

Zhu Xiao is not only a son but also an official.

Since Zhao Cheng served as a county lieutenant and a large number of criminal cases were made up of crimes, he fully knew that one-fifth of the cases of forcible seizure, vicious extortion and even murder in Chizhou were all related to the children of the Zhu family. It's just that it can't be done.

Frankly speaking, Lao Pei can't do it, he can only let them restrain a little, and from then on, he can know that if he doesn't fight, there will be no one who can deal with them. They will be fished out as much as they are sentenced, but what they really can't get out of is that they ran away because of the loopholes in the cell, and joined Wang Xiu's team to continue to "make money by curves".

Of course, Zhao Cheng knew that there were incidents of the Jing Tribulation Law Field this year, but there were still relatively few of them. However, if this situation continues, and the government's governance and credibility continue to decrease, it will really be able to transition to the situation described in "Water Margin" that robs the law field if you don't agree with each other in the future.

However, objectively speaking, there are only more robbery fields in the north, and there are really not many in the south. To put it bluntly, Song Jiangchao and Gai Shixiu's ruthless people love to hijack the law field, just because they are not children, so they can only use ruthlessness to make up for the lack of family background, and the children generally don't play this set.

I can't think about these more, and I need to take a certain amount of risk to do things. In the Great Song Dynasty, the movement of officials is basically the biggest political risk.

So to be honest, it is not easy for Zhao Cheng to hear that Zhu Xiao and his children are "sacrificing their lives for the country" in Lingzhi Mountain, which means that Cai You is also forced to gamble with the foundation of his Cai family.

Others may not have understood, but Zhao Cheng did. Cai You didn't take responsibility after all, and when he moved Zhu Xiao, he adopted a conspiracy instead of a conspiracy. This means that Cai You took the lead in letting the other children in the southeast stand on the safety line. Then Zhao Cheng won the Lingzhi Mountain, but Zhang Shuye definitely couldn't win the anti-corruption and anti-crime battle in the southeast.

The people may believe that Zhu Xiao is really out of Lingzhi Mountain, but other powerful people can't believe it in this life, and they will more or less subconsciously know that they were poisoned by Cai You. Therefore, Cai You had no choice, "arranged for him to sacrifice his life for the country", indicating that he would give the Zhu family a good reputation, which meant leaving them a way back to maintain stability, and they also needed to tacitly not pursue this matter.

Cai You's behavior is equivalent to tying his father Cai Jing to the chariot, forcibly forcing Cai Jing to pardon this group of children politically, and resist the in-depth anti-corruption in the southeast.

Otherwise, if Cai Jing can't bear it, Uncle Zhang's inspection team will come to slap Cai You in the face and not let them go, then they will definitely not let go of Cai You's stabbing of the black knife.

Zhao Cheng didn't smile bitterly, but he knew that judging from Cai You's arrangement, the Southeast War was over.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is okay to be able to remove a glove to make them feel a little cold in their hands, and it is very good to have a local chill. You really can't expect to take their bottoms off all at once.

Thinking of these Zhao Cheng lazy, very tired, he didn't want to say a word, he was still basking in the sun in a daze.

Shaoqing's footsteps came, and seeing that Tan Xiaolan and Chen Meiniang's faces changed greatly to avoid suspicion, they knew that Cai You was coming.

However, Zhao Cheng didn't bother to get up.

Cai You walked to the front, and with some embarrassment, he took the initiative to say "no courtesy" first. Zhao Cheng said again, "Lord Xie."

Lao Cai twisted his beard and said, "Are you dissatisfied with hearing 'Zhu Xiao and his children sacrificed their lives for the country'?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly.

Cai You pointed to his nose, "Open your eyes and talk nonsense, you clearly have emotions." "But you have to understand that Benshu really tried his best." ”

"I understand." Zhao Cheng nodded slightly.

It's not a fool, it's really understood, even if Nima has evidence of Zhu Xiao's treason, what if he really conducts a large-scale in-depth review, and cuts off the remaining large number of people? In addition to playing Cai You to death and making Zhao Cheng lose a political backer, it will not affect Zhu Mian, Zhu Chong, Wang Huang and them to continue to be rich.

It's like it's true, compatriots are treasonous, and the rest of the family continues to enter the cabinet to do elders, and other dynasties can appear, so what's so strange about the appearance of such a humanized Great Song Dynasty.

Taking history as a mirror, so Zhao Cheng knows that even if Cai You really uses Dayang to forcibly kill the Zhu family for treason, in addition to erecting a strong enemy and tearing his face, it will not affect Zhu Mian's future, nor will it affect Zhu Mian's new ally Wang Hao to enter the cabinet in the future.

To stop these processes, Zhao Cheng has a long way to go, first of all, he needs to do a better job of officials, the official position is higher than them, the power is greater than them, the heart is darker than them, and the hands are more ruthless than them. Otherwise, wash and sleep.

"So be it."

Cai You patted him on the shoulder, "You can rest in peace, the war will be fought to this extent, there will be no new authorization, and no one will appoint you to enter Muzhou to pull hatred." I really don't have enough iron in my brain, and I have done my best to suppress your previous moths and persuade them to do special things and directly recruit you to study in Taixue for special reasons. Now you don't have to take care of any affairs in Chizhou, you are now in a state of 'recuperation'. Because as soon as you come out, those local tyrant gangs in Chizhou who are afraid of you will definitely make trouble. In short, you will be suspended, return to Beijing with Cai Wenji after the beginning of spring, help me train Cai Wenji, and concentrate on studying by the way. I'll arrange it later. ”

"After Taixue, can you come back here to take charge?" Zhao Cheng asked lazily.

Cai You exclaimed, "I still want to come back!" Damn, you won't be reconciled if you don't really cut off Cai Wenji and Benshu together, right? ”

"I'm just talking." Zhao Cheng spread his hands.

"I don't know you yet, you didn't say it, as soon as you said it, it means that you have this mind, and it's the kind of monkey that is eager for revenge."

Cai You felt a headache, "Basically, don't think about it here, enter Taixue for a year, don't expect you to learn anything, the main thing is to gild, retain the qualification that you can participate in the palace examination at any time in the future, and then take the exam when you are sure." After staying in Bianjing for a year, go to Putian's hometown and county, and then talk about ......it after three years of training."

Zhao Cheng, who was drinking tea, squirted out a mouthful of water: ", I need to recuperate, okay, how can I recuperate with so many quacks over there...... Oh I'm going! ”

I can't finish being slapped in the back of the head.

Cai You didn't know what nonsense this kid was talking about, and pointed to his nose before leaving, "You are a heart disease, and you can't understand your thoughts in the terms of those little white words, do you really think that Benzhou is outdated if you don't learn and don't know how to do it?" ”

I was about to leave, but Lao Cai turned back and said with a smile, "It's easy to recuperate, I'll get you a special note, after you enter Beijing, go to the Tai Hospital to recuperate for a month." ”

Looking left and right at no one, Cai You chuckled again, "There is a spa, the spa is interesting, yes, remember not to let Cai Wenji know that I let you go to the spa." ”

“……”

Zhao Cheng also looked strange, and could only watch the traitor enter the courtyard, and the fact that the southeast half of the country was settled in three or two sentences.

Well, it's okay, there is no need to fight a war, and it can't be fought for the time being. There are so many bad convictions, I'm afraid that except for Zhang Shuye, the others will never let Zhao Cheng take charge of the army again. Therefore, going to the spa and driving a few times should also be a bit troublesome, and it is still a "war......
