I heard Cai You say that his father Cai Jing was very old, and it was very difficult for him to rule the Great Song Dynasty again. Zhao Ji smiled noncommittally, and only said: "The Taishi is old, and Cai Aiqing must also share his worries more for Lingzun, Cai's family is all virtuous ministers, whether it is Taishi or Aiqing, they are all my ministers." ”

Zhao Ji said ambiguously, and Cai You had to call the official Shengming Rende, and sing the praises of virtue. And Wang Huang on the side also said a few words for Cai You from time to time, it seems that the two of them are also in a close relationship in the court. But Zhao Ji can still divert the topic lightly, and only talk about some things about the ups and downs, Xiao Tang secretly paid sure enough, Zhao Ji, the merry man, seems to be floating and confused, but in fact, he can also be very clear about the open and secret struggle between the ministers of the DPRK and China, and supports and suppresses it behind his back.

In fact, the prime minister does not just refer to an official name, but is actually a group, which can be counted as the top leadership below the emperor of the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the "two governments and three divisions system" was implemented, and the power of the prime minister was divided into three. Since the reform of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng and the abolition of the system of two governments and three divisions, the position of Shangshu's left servant and subordinate servant has become a popular battle for the eyes of the central government, which can make political allies turn against each other, and the target of biological father and son against each other.

Cai You is now also planning to join the power struggle for the phase, and I heard that Zhao Ji has also given Cai You another mansion to live separately from Bianjing Cai Jing and other Cai children, so it seems that he intends to encourage him to sing against his Lao Tzu for the sake of power struggle.

But in the final analysis, although Zhao Ji can still hold the power tightly in his own hands, he sits and watches Cai Jing, Zheng Juzhong, Cai You and other courtiers cheat for the sake of the phase, and the purpose is not for the sake of any national policy and people's livelihood, I am afraid it is just to see which court member is more upright and can make him enjoy himself more freely.....

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ji, who was happy, smiled at Xiao Tang and said that when the government was in power two days later, he decided to reward Aiqing, Xiao Aiqing had worked hard and would not be treated badly. Taking advantage of Zhao Ji's drive to other palaces in the imperial city, Cai You came to Xiao Tang's side, but deliberately put on the face of "Corporal Lixian", and said to Xiao Tang: "My father is old, and General Xiao is in his prime...... I don't have to say everything, General Xiao, you have to do it yourself. ”

The implication of Cai You's words is nothing more than that Cai Jing will not be alive for a few years, and the phase in the early years and later years will eventually be mine, let Xiao Tang put the bright spots, don't stand on the wrong side in the imperial court. Seeing Cai You's clown-like appearance, but he wanted to put on the posture of the deputy superior, Xiao Tang suppressed the urge to smoke in his heart, and only prevaricated with a sloppy eye.

After all, Xiao Tang is a military position, Cai You casually wooed Xiao Tang, but he also knew that in addition to taking the opportunity to make a big fuss about political enemies when using troops against foreign countries, it would not be too useful in other civil and political fights.

Xiao Tang, who had seen Zhao Ji, went straight to the outside of the imperial city under the guidance of a small yellow gate in the palace, and Xiao Tang and Zhao Ji had dinner and watched the play, this Yanfu Palace Cuiwei Hall is located in the north of the Huining Hall in the imperial city, surrounded by a hill made of granite and jade, not far from the palace, the stone is set up next to the small round pond of the Yanchun Pavilion in the strange stone and the rock, and there is a lake that is expanded into a spring, but see the lake as an embankment to receive the pavilion, and the stone sorghum on the embankment crosses the lake. Looking at the past from afar, I saw that there are five palaces in this palace area where the pond is the sea and the spring is the lake, not only the repair is luxurious and luxurious, but the surroundings are straight and secluded, and it is like heaven and earth.

Xiao Tang didn't have the heart to stop and enjoy this piece of luxurious scenery that was almost created by manpower, and at this time he secretly said in his heart: Although in order to compete for the phase, Cai Jing's political enemies will have more than his eldest son Cai You, but whether it is power and scheming, talent and resourcefulness, Cai You is far inferior to his old son. The reason why he also dared to compete with many predator-level figures in the imperial court was actually according to Gao Yu's routine, just bent on slapping the horse and welcoming Zhao Ji.

Even Gao Yu can take charge of the Bianjing Forbidden Army with his means of kicking anger and knowing how to figure out Zhao Ji's thoughts, but he is also somewhat self-aware, and only seeks to control the military power of the Beijing Division, and basically will not participate in the party and political struggles between civilian officials. Compared with the sloppy sophomore in high school, Cai You is actually more unbearable in terms of temperament and power and resourcefulness, and he can live until he liquidates the traitorous party after the Jingkang Change, I am afraid that Cai Jing still has the idea of tiger poison and not eating children......

Whether it is Gao Yu, Cai You, Wang Hao and others, or Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other scheming traitors, in fact, it is still inseparable from the influence secretly exerted by Zhao Ji. Loyal and patriotic? They are indeed loyal to the Zhao Dynasty, but Mencius Yunmin is precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, and what those monarchs and ministers do when they get together is to ignore the people of the world. I also have the opportunity to secretly contribute to the situation and drain their political power among themselves.

Xiao Tang thought about it while walking, at this time he was wearing the waist card given to him by Zhao Ji, and the little yellow door in the palace who led the way for him saw that Xiao Tang was a celebrity in front of the official family, and his words were also very polite. Xiao Tang, who was walking unhindered in the Imperial City Palace, walked to the south side of Yanfu Palace, and was just about to pass through the arch when he heard someone shouting: "Sister, come quickly." ”

The voice was like a warbler's voice, very good, mixed with some of the unique milk sounds of young girls, and then Xiao Tang heard someone say: "Roufu, you slow down." ”

Xiao Tang listened to Ka'er's coquettish laughter again, and before he could come back to his senses, a fragrant wind floated from the side of the arch, and before he could stop it, a girl actually rushed into Xiao Tang's arms.

The girl groaned, and her pretty face turned red. Xiao Tang hurriedly helped her, he glanced at the girl, and saw that she was wearing a pale yellow dress, wearing a large-sleeved xiaxia veil, and on her head was a jet-black double dragon bun, and the headdress and flowers and beads were also very luxurious.

Thinking of the fact that someone had just changed this girl to be "Roufu", suddenly Xiao Tang realized the identity of this girl who crashed straight into his arms, and after she was fixed, Xiao Tang immediately retracted his hands as if he had been pricked by a needle. A girl who can run around like this in Bianliang Da Nei, looking at the clothes and being very luxurious, how can she be an ordinary maid of the palace?

And the girl jumped away from Xiao Tang's arms like a frightened little rabbit, Xiao Tang looked at this girl, although there was no yellow-haired girl who had not yet opened, but she was also an authentic beauty, at this time her cherry mouth opened into an O-shape, and her cheeks were red like ripe apples, and when the girl's big black eyes blinked again, after her heart settled down for a while, she stretched out her little hand, pointed at Xiao Tang and said angrily: "You, you, why don't you look at the road when you walk?" ”

It looks like you little girl is having fun and hitting me straight up, right?

Xiao Tang said secretly in his heart, but he also made a gesture first, and just as he was about to speak, a girl in palace clothes hurriedly ran from the other side of the arch. The girl couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang saw that the girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, not only was she born with a delicate appearance, but her expression and temperament were gentle and lovely, she also exclaimed when she saw Xiao Tang, the pair of wonderful eyes were wide open, and she forgot to ask Xiao Tang for a while.

The little yellow gate who led the way for Xiao Tang panicked when he saw this, and he hurriedly said: "Princess Yanqing, Princess Roufu, this is Lord Xiao Tang Xiao who was announced by the Holy Saint to enter the palace to meet him, this... Lord Xiao was just reckless for a while, so he ......"

"Huh? Are you that Xiao Tang? ”

When Princess Roufu heard this, she immediately interrupted the little yellow door, and then she turned her little head to Zhao Fujin's side, and said like a little trumpet: "Sister, he is Xiao Tang, isn't he the person you read day and night?" ”
