Jiang De turned around and saw Cai Jing who was walking over, Jiang De couldn't help but wonder, why did this Cai Jing not go against Zhao Jiyin's poems? Then he stepped forward and said, "I've seen the Taishi, why isn't the Taishi by the official's side?" ”

Cai Jing Fusu smiled and said, "After the old man and the official family played with calligraphy and painting, they said a puzzle, the official couldn't guess it for a while, and he didn't want the old man to say it directly, so he let the old man go back first, the old man is familiar with the palace and knows the shortcut, so he is not much later than you!" Saying that, Cai Jing squinted at Jiang De and asked, "Jiang De, the old man asked you, why did you want to talk to the official family about those gods and ghosts?" ”

Jiang De then understood why Cai Jing hurriedly chased him out, and it was because of this for a long time, so he said to Cai Jing while walking, "Don't you know that the official family likes this thing the most?" ”

Of course, Cai Jing knew that there were many reasons why he was in the position in the past, and these Taoist priests did good things.

Cai Jing said with a cold face, "The old man took you to the front of the official family, in order to collect money for the country and share the worries of the court, if you want to use this to invite favor with ghosts and gods, the old man can tell you that everything you have now, the old man can take it away!" ”

Looking at Cai Jing with a righteous face, the word fox flashed in Jiang De's heart, to say that Cai Jing was smeared a lot because he was liquidated later, it is true, but to say that Cai Jing is loyal to the country, he has done his best, and he has died. Believe it or not, Zhuge Liang climbed out and fought with you. Cai Jing was not so much worried that Jiang De would harm Zhao Ji, but rather worried that Jiang De would be favored and out of his grasp.

Jiang De arched his hand and said to Cai Jing, "Master Taishi, don't worry, what the kid said is that there are no gods and ghosts in the world, these few times the officials have shown great interest in ghosts and gods, and the kid is also worried that the officials are increasingly obsessed with this way, so they can only use the way of others to govern their bodies, first let the officials believe that the kid really knows the things of ghosts and gods, and then believe that there are no ghosts and gods in the world!" Although the kid doesn't read much, he also knows that Xu Fudong crosses the world to laugh, Emperor Wu wakes up slowly and regrets for life, and the official family treats me very well, the kid doesn't want the official family to be laughed at by future generations because of this! ”

Listening to Jiang De's words, Cai Jing frowned slightly, he wasn't worried that Zhao Ji would be laughed at by future generations, not to mention anything else, did you really not know that Yanfu Palace would be scolded by future generations? He is more worried about whether and how his power will be affected by this.

Jiang De also understood Cai Jing's thoughts, so he said, "And Taishi, this matter of gods and ghosts has been easy to be used by internal officials since ancient times, and Taishi is a foreign official after all, so why worry?" ”

Cai Jing thought about it, he was embarrassed by these gods and ghosts several times, if Jiang De really did it, it would be beneficial and harmless to himself, if Jiang De was besieged by those Taoist priests, he would not suffer any damage, so he nodded and said to Jiang De, "In this way, the old man blamed you, but do you know that in this way, you will offend the Taoists in the world?" ”

Jiang De smiled, "The kid is already alone, what are you afraid of?" ”

Cai Jing nodded and said, "I hope you don't regret it..."

Jiang De looked at Cai Jing's back, smiled, and went back to the restaurant with his hands behind his back.

On the second day, this day is the day of the great dynasty, officials at all levels stand in turn, Zhao Ji yawns and walks on the throne, waving his hand, Yang Jian next to him sings loudly, "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Qiqi official's family, in more than half a month, it will be the Zhongyuan Festival, do you want to make plans early?" ”

Zhao Ji was still very interested in this matter, and immediately sat down and said, "This matter is indeed a big deal, the Ministry of Rites and Kaifeng Mansion must work together, and it is necessary to do a good job of this matter and have fun with the people!" ”

After the ministers made a promise, another person stepped forward and said, "Qiqi official's family, there is Jiahe Xiangrui in Hangzhou, one rice and two ears, it is indeed a great joy!" ”

Xiangrui, is also Zhao Ji once very easy to appear things, God knows where so many auspicious Rui, Zhao Ji was a little excited at the beginning, but now he is a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Then reward Hangzhou Mansion, then Jiahe should not be sent up, and worship it on the spot." ”

Cai Jing's eyebrows jumped, okay, this auspicious rui seems to have to use something new in the future, this Jiahe really makes Zhao Ji uninterested.

Thinking of Xiangrui, Zhao Ji suddenly thought of what Jiang De said yesterday, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, I suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask you, you are all well-read people, and I believe that you must have insights." ”

The official asked a question, this has to be a good performance, everyone pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully, Zhao Ji then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you say, are there any ghosts and gods in this world?" ”

Deathly silence....

Then came the flood of chatter.

"What's wrong with the official? Could it be that the official family wants to prosper the Fangshi? ”

"Who knows, but the official family is indeed kind to those monks, and it's not good to say this."

Cai Jing coughed at this time, and the court slowly quieted down, Cai Jing arched his hand and said, "Qiqi official, the saying of ghosts and gods, since ancient times, Zi said, Zi is silent, and the ghosts and gods, although this ghost and god old man has not seen it, but if he wants to say that it absolutely does not exist, he does not dare." It can only be said that... Believe it. ”

Zhao Ji snorted and said, "In this way, this ghost and god still exists." Don't be nervous, but yesterday there was a kid who said that there were no demons and gods in the world, and some were just ordinary Taoist priests. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone had a small calculation in their hearts.

First, a minister came out and said, "Official, this matter is difficult for us to explain, but since ancient times, there have been legends such as the Yellow Emperor ascending the dragon and the Gaozu White Snake written in the history books, and I believe it will not be untargeted!" ”

"Yes, yes, you can't believe in this ghost thing."

"That's right, this has been said by the Son of Heaven since ancient times, is it also false?"

An official in a purple suit stepped forward and said, "Official, I don't know what kind of demon is doing it, talking nonsense, if you want to say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, then why sacrifice to heaven and earth?" I think this person should be beheaded! ”

"What did Lord Wang say?" At this time, there was a loud shout at the end of the court, "The official family finally got the guidance of a celebrity today, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Dongfang Shuo, and he was changing his mind and revitalizing the heart of the court, why did Lord Wang say that it was a demon?" Could it be that Lord Wang wants the official family to indulge in gods and ghosts, and be ridiculed by future generations like Emperor Wu of Liang? ”

"Presumptuous!" The person known as Lord Wang was a middle-aged man in his thirties, he looked at the person who had just scolded him loudly, but found that it was a person still wearing green, and he couldn't help but smile angrily and said, "Who are you?" The little green clothes dare to roar at the court? ”

Zhao Ji also looked at the green-clothed civil official curiously, and said, "Wang Aiqing, don't worry, who are you and why are you official?" ”
