…

"The ministers and the people are unknown, that Hu Yanzhuo has failed the grace of the saint to live up to the trust and greed of the ministers, and was defeated by Li Yan, the grass coward of Liangshan, who was lured into danger by a trick, and then the whole army was annihilated, then Li Yan took the opportunity to capture the three mansions of Jeju Mansion, Dongping Mansion, and Dongchang Mansion, killed six or seven out of ten officials of the three mansions, and looted the three mansions, the ministers are guilty, ask Your Majesty to punish them!"

After listening to Gao Yu's report, Zhao Ji stood up suddenly and said, "What? Shandong's Li Yan is also reversed? ”

Gao Yu stubbornly said: "There shouldn't be, he just looted the three mansions of Jeju Mansion, Dongping Mansion, and Dongchang Mansion, and then led people to withdraw from the three mansions." ”

Listening to Gao Yu say that Li Yan did not occupy the state capital to rebel, Zhao Ji's expression was better, and said: "What did you say when you protected that Hu Yanzhuo, saying that he had the courage of ten thousand people, if he made him able to destroy Shuibo Liangshan and capture the thief leader Li Yan Shangjing with thousands of swords, but now what is it, defeated and ......", speaking of this, Zhao Ji remembered to ask: "By the way, where is Hu Yanzhuo now?" ”

Gao Yu said: "The whereabouts are unknown. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was even more angry, and pointed to Gao Yu and Cai Jing and the others and said: "Listen, the whereabouts are unknown, such a person can also be promoted!" ”

Liang Shicheng said: "Who would have thought that Hu Yanzhuo is a tiger father and dog, his grandfather Hu Yanzhuo followed Taizu and Taizong to conquer Shu and Han, and there were countless battles of all sizes, all of which were invincible. ”

Seeing that Liang Shi had become a high-ranking speaker, Wang Hao immediately helped: "I really didn't expect that Hu Yanzhuo's great reputation would be so bad." ”

Cai Jing glanced at Liang Shicheng and said, "Taiwei Gao must have only heard of his name and never had contact with him. ”

Even Cai You had to say something because of Liang Shicheng's face: "Gao Taiwei may be burdened by the reputation of the Huyan family." ”

Lin Lingsu said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is also one of the tests of Heaven for Your Majesty, Your Majesty must stabilize the Dao heart." ”

So many weighty people speak for Gao Yu, and Zhao Ji likes Gao Yu, so Zhao Ji's anger slowly disappears.

After a while, Zhao Ji asked, "Then how to exterminate Li Yan's gang of thieves?" ”

As soon as Zhao Ji's voice fell, the Shangqing Treasure Palace was suddenly silent, and everyone was silent.

Zhao Ji looked around and asked, "Why didn't anyone speak?" ”

Still no one spoke.

Zhao Ji didn't like it, so he directly called Gao Yu's name and said: "You know Li Yan's gang of thieves best, how do you exterminate Li Yan's gang of thieves?" ”

Gao Yu bowed to the ground and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to speak." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Say, I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

Gao Yu hesitated and said: "Weichen thinks...... I think I should leave it for now...... Let Li Yan's gang of thieves ...... for the time being"

"What?"

Zhao Ji said angrily: "You let me set up thieves? ”

Gao Yu bowed to the ground and said no more.

Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing again: "You are the prime minister, how can you exterminate Li Yan's gang of thieves?" ”

Cai Jing bowed and said: "Let it go for the time being." ”

Zhao Ji was furious!

He didn't expect Cai Jing to say the same!

Zhao Ji asked Tong Guan again: "Tong Aiqing, how can you exterminate Li Yan's gang of thieves?" ”

Tong Guan is burly, well-dressed, has a beard under his cheeks, and his skin and bones are as hard as iron, not at all like a eunuch.

Seeing Zhao Ji ask him, Tong Guan bowed, and then said, "Let it go for the time being." ”

Zhao Ji was even more angry: "You all let me set up thieves, when did my Great Song become so weak, no one dared to say that I exterminated a group of small thieves!" ”

"Wechen is willing to lead the troops to exterminate this gang of thieves for Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that the person who spoke was Cai You, the son of Cai Jing.

Zhao Ji pointed to Cai You and said to Cai Jing and others: "The family is poor and filial sons, the country is difficult to see loyal ministers, at the critical moment, Cai Aiqing can still share my worries!" ”

Seeing that Cai You jumped out again, and was going to lead troops to exterminate Shuibo Liangshan, everyone laughed secretly!

Although Cai You is the son of the talented Cai Jing, he is not like his father at all, and he is completely uneducated.

But if you underestimate Cai You because he doesn't learn and can't learn, then you are very wrong.

This Cai You has a special ability, that is, he is particularly flattering.

Moreover, Cai You already knew at a very young age that he seized every opportunity to build bridges for his future.

When Zhao Ji was not yet the emperor, Cai You could catch up with the courtiers and retreat from the court every time he went to the court, and he calculated the time to come out, so that he could meet Zhao Ji, the king of the next dynasty. So, every time King Duan went down to the court, he could see a young man with beautiful eyebrows who was a few years older than himself dismounted and stood on the side, humble and polite, and amiable to watch. King Duan asked the servants on the left and right, which family the young man was the son of, and the left and right said, "It's Cai Chengzhi's son." Zhao Ji secretly remembered him in his heart.

After Zhao Ji became the emperor, Cai You flattered Zhao Ji in every possible way.

Cai You successively served as the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the envoy of the town and the navy, and Shaobao, and there was no time limit for entering Zhao Ji, and Wang Huang was able to participate in the palace games together, or was left in the palace for a banquet, so the two of them put on short clothes and narrow pants, painted blue and red, mixed with singing and dancing artists, dwarfs, and said a lot of jokes and waves of scoundrels and lewdmen and sluts in the market, to win Zhao Ji's favor.

Zhao Ji believed in Taoism, and Cai You advocated some anecdotes alone, saying that there were stars and moons, cross-phoenix and dragons, and the Fu Ying of the heavenly book and cloud seal, and Lin Lingsu's disciples competed to prove the divine change, so Shenxiao and Yuqing Palace were all over the world.

It can be said that in order to curry favor with Zhao Ji, Cai You did everything he could, even framing his father Cai Jingjing.

Such a person who does not learn and has no skills, but only slaps horses, goes to lead troops to fight, can everyone not laugh?

Now, Cai You's momentum is not big enough to challenge Cai Jing, the father and son have not yet reached the point where the father and son are tilted, Cai Jing also remembered some father-son feelings, so before Cai You made this matter a reality, he said loudly: "That Shuibo Liangshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you have to send a large army to capture it, and now the Western Army can't move, and the forbidden army can't move, how can the army encircle and suppress Li Yan's gang of thieves?" ”

"It turns out that there are no soldiers and no generals, I said why did one or two say that they would temporarily let Li Yan's gang of thieves go!" Cai You secretly regretted.

Zhao Ji, who was a little angry, also felt embarrassed when he heard Cai Jing's words.

Cai Jing said again: "The top priority now is to exterminate the two thieves who have been reversed, Tianhu in Hebei and Wang Qing in Huaixi, Li Yan's gang of thieves is still just robbers and robbers, and there is no obvious objection, maybe they still have the intention of waiting for Zhao'an, so they are not in a hurry to exterminate them first, but try to recruit ......."

Zhao Ji said: "Li Yan, this thief is extremely evil, and not killing him is not enough to anger the people." ”

Cai Jing didn't insist, but said: "In this way, it is not too late to wait for Liaojin to divide the victory and defeat of Western Xia to withdraw troops, or wait for Genyue to be completed, and then raise troops to encircle and suppress." ”

At present, Zhao Ji, who has no other way, can only follow Cai Jing's words.

Cai Jing said again: "To prevent Li Yan's gang of thieves from becoming bigger, Jeju, Dongfu, and Dongchang need to send capable officials to govern it, especially the Jeju Mansion where Shuibo Liangshan is located, and Zhang Shuye, who is not the governor of Haizhou, cannot be appointed as the governor of Haizhou, ...... Yin."
