Volume 1 The Case of the Troubled Stone Chapter 7 Cai Bingren was relegated to his hometown and took in the dead and orphans

It is said that in the first year of Zhao Guangyi's reign, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, changed the name of the year to "Taiping Xingguo", indicating that he wanted to achieve a new career

Song Taizu's old subordinates, Zhao Pu, Xiang Gong, Gao Huaide, Feng Jiye, and Zhang Mei, were all placed under house arrest by the imperial court for various reasons shortly after Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne

In the old department of Song Taizu, Xue Juzheng, Shen Lun, Lu Duoxun, Cao Bin and Chu Zhaofu were all promoted to the rank of knight, and their children and grandchildren also obtained official positions. And some of the people who Song Taizu had punished or wanted to punish when he was alive, Zhao Guangyi pardoned them

The story of the royal court is a story when it is told, and it is still a story if it is not told, but no one knows if it is not told

Whether the emperor is good or bad, no one talks, no one says, no one says, who knows? But whether the emperor is good or bad, what does it have to do with our people?

Cai Bingren has always been this kind of person

If you can do your best, you will try to do your best, which is what he has always done in his heart. In fact, in his heart, he has always had a bad and bad attitude towards the Song Dynasty

That's what a joke is in this strange stone incident from the sky

The reason why he showed his hand was also touched by the recent popular popular discussion about whether Zhao Kuangyin was deceived or not

Some time ago, the fact that Zhao Kuangyin was bullying orphans and widows and was deceived by Wei Renpu, the prime minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, spread in the streets and alleys, and many people actually openly questioned Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, in public

Maybe that's really the case, and I've heard a lot of it, even if I'm an important minister of the imperial court, only a short distance from Kyoto, and a prefect who holds an important position, I actually have a lot of feelings about it. Originally, Cai Bingren, who was a courtier, was a former dynasty jinshi, and after hearing a lot, he was a little angry. In addition, some people brag in public, Cai Bingren really feels sorry for the former and later Zhou Tianxia, and feels sorry for the later Zhou Chai Rong, after all, he is also a former and later Zhou Jinshi, after all, no matter who he is, think about it carefully, it is really like that

Zhao Kuangyin was a good scheming on the surface, but in fact, he failed the emperor of the previous dynasty Tuogu, and the prime minister's assistant Wei Renpu's heart

Even if Zhao Kuangyin wins the world and seeks the world, and understands the original situation, how many people can serve such an emperor? is Cai Bingren, an official bastard who has always adhered to the principle of both the emperor rather than the attack, who is deeply aware of Buddhism, and believes in rare confusion, once wanted to have the opportunity to meet the saint in person and question him face to face, and he was ashamed to be the emperor who was the emperor

After a long time, he was also angry with Wei Renpu, the first assistant prime minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty

Wei Renpu, if you talk about loyalty, then he is really a loyal and courageous person, and he died several times for the Lord of the Later Zhou. It's just that this IQ, whether being the prime minister is competent or not, I believe that many people have their own understanding after reading the history of the Song Dynasty and the secret history of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Speaking of loyalty alone, if Wei Renpu is still alive, he will definitely be able to do anything for the sake of the future Zhou Tianxia. It's just a pity that the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong mistakenly recognized him, a loyal minister with a poor IQ, as the prime minister. It's just a pity that Wei Renpu didn't see much, he was simply crusaded, and he actually handed over the power of the three armies to Zhao Kuangyin

Alas, thinking of this, Cai Bingren sat in the carriage, couldn't help but feel sad, and tasted the old wine in the gourd

If Wei Renpu hadn't misjudged people and hadn't handed over the power of the three armies to Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, there would be no idea what the world would be like, and who would have been in the world. It's a pity that Zhao Kuangyin, a liar, is a gentleman who can be entrusted to the world, and a dead liar is a minister who can be entrusted to Gu!

It is believed that after Wei Renpu was forced to hand over the seal of the palace power official, the moment he saw Zhao Kuangyin, Wei Renpu had the heart to eat Zhao Kuangyin alive

Long history is like the big river to the east, even if you sigh, what can you do? Unfortunately, everything is just a hypothesis, everything is just a story

Cai Bingren sat in the carriage, tasted the wine in the jug again, and was secretly happy that he had retreated in this court infighting

He said that this time, he, the prefect, did a good job, and in such an infighting incident, he was able to get out of the way, and he made such a big move and made such a big joke

can survive, to be honest, even he didn't expect it, and he didn't believe it

Ginger is old and spicy at any time, and it has not been thoroughly investigated, so it is exempt from the beginning of the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion

He already knew that this matter was not small, ranging from the worry of dismissal from office to the disaster of killing himself. When he returned to the Daimyo Mansion from Cheng'an County, he sent his family members to his hometown in Shandong

The family did not know why at first, but later, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died bizarrely, and many high-ranking officials of the imperial court were killed and dismissed overnight

Everyone knows that this incident of falling stones from the sky must be related to Zhao Kuangyin's death, but it was just that the incident came so suddenly

drove his family back to his hometown of Qingzhou in Shandong early, leaving a few entourages and boxes of old books and antiques beside him

Soon after the imperial court conducted a thorough investigation, Cai Bingren was acquitted, and led his entourage to hire a few carriages and rushed to his hometown in Shandong

On the way, we passed through Cheng'an County, Songjia Village. Passing by the boulder. The boulder had been disposed of by the imperial court, leaving only a large pit and a forest

He must get out of the car to take a look, look at the Songjia Village in front of him, and look at the location of the stubborn rock in front of him, so he copied the path and came to the boundary of Songjia Village to find the meteorite grove

At this moment, Cai Bingren was in a mixed mood, as if he had opened a grocery store. Even if he has lived for thirty or forty years, he still can't help but feel sad, how good it would be if these things didn't happen, he was still a prefect, and there was still a lively place here

While he was still secretly sad, a few children were fighting and the sound was noisy

He looked over to the voice, and it turned out that it was a few older children bullying a younger child. Look at the bullied child dressed like a flower beggar, at this time the little beggar is being beaten and crying all the time

He asked his men to watch the carriage and salute, walked over, and scolded a few older children to stop

When the children saw an adult coming, they stopped laughing and left

Cai Bingren walked over, picked up the child, and saw that the little beggar was about eleven or twelve years old

"Son, who are you? What is your name? Why are they bullying you? What about your family? Cai Bingren asked slowly

The little boy stood up, wiped his tears, and cried and said, "My name is Song Tianxiu, I am from Songjia Village here, my father's name is Song Yingjie, and my mother is Song Lan's. My father fell from a horse and died a few days ago, my mother remarried, no one at home paid attention to me, I came out to beg for food, and I was bullied by their eldest child"

Cai Bingren was stunned for a moment and asked, "Tell me again, what is the name of your family?" ”

"My father's name is Song Yingjie"

Cai Bingren's heart was hot, tears flowed down, he was the person who had been closed by the ghost door for a while, not long after he survived at this time, he saw the "old man" child again, although this person was the "culprit" of this matter - Song Yingjie also passed away, but everyone knows that as long as he participates in it, it is impossible to turn back, and Song Yingjie is also fate. He said in his heart, "Providence", and held the child in his arms, "Are there any other adults in your family?" ”

Song Tianxiu was at a loss at first and wanted to struggle, but when he saw Cai Bingren's caring appearance, he said timidly, "My family has long been gone, and several distant relatives don't want me, and my mother has remarried and ignored me."

"Alas" Cai Bingren's heart is still hot, "Your adult Song Yingjie and I once had a relationship, which is considered an old friend, since there is no adult in your family, can you follow me?" I will take care of what you eat and drink, and how you dress."

Song Tianxiu lay on Cai Bingren's body and cried bitterly, he was a child, living by wandering and begging every day, I heard that someone took care of himself and was willing to raise himself, where would he not be moved, and he cried bitterly in Cai Bingren's arms for a while

When the child was tired of crying, Cai Bingren asked the child to take him to Song Yingjie's grave to see

Song Tianxiu took Cai Bingren's hand and walked to a tombstone with Song Yingjie's tombstone not far away

When Cai Bingren saw the grave of Song Yingjie, the "culprit", he was also angry and funny, and kept thinking about "God's will"

prepared a glass of white wine and sprinkled it on Song Yingjie's grave, prepared a few plates of snacks and fruits, and paid tribute to Song Yingjie's grave

Then in front of Song Yingjie's grave, Cai Bingren asked Song Tianxiu if he was willing to go with him, Song Tianxiu promised that he was willing, and Cai Bingren asked Song Tianxiu to kowtow to himself in front of his father Song Yingjie's grave. Then, Cai Bingren asked Song Tianxiu to kowtow to his father Song Yingjie's grave, and after kowtowing, Cai Bingren bowed to Song Yingjie's grave and gave a deep salute to his hands, picked up the child and put it in the carriage and walked away
