Chapter 604: Captain Sanya, you can't replace him

As soon as he heard the words Chongden Zaifu, Cai Jing's eyes lit up, and then motioned for Xiao Tang to continue.

Xiao Tang talked eloquently, and his advice to Cai Jing of course focused on analyzing the benefits that can be obtained by this powerful traitor who is bent on controlling the power of the court. At present, in view of the shortcomings of redundant troops, which has led to the abandonment of the military and government, in fact, the DPRK and China have also suffered a great deal of trouble for the country, except for the western army, and the officers and troops in various parts of the country because of empty salaries and neglect of practice.

Cai Jing is certainly a traitor who plays the means of harming the public and private interests to the extreme, in fact, Cai Jing also really underestimated the destruction of the country of the Great Song Dynasty by the traitorous ministers led by him, but if he could have known that the newly established Jin State could annex half of the Great Song Dynasty, it was all because of his master Zhao Ji and the six thieves and other traitors who caused chaos in the dynasty, and Cai Jing would definitely not want to bear such infamy. If he could really go through Xiao Tang's advice and create a usable army for the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing must be happy to see it.

The most important thing is that although Cai Jing mainly focuses on interfering in national policies and the implementation of government decrees in order to compete for the power of the court, he still has to work closely with Tong Guan and other military officials in the DPRK and China, just as Cai Jing will advocate the alliance with Jin and Liao in the future, if he wants to hold the power firmly in his own hands, in addition to Tong Guan, who is roughly equivalent to his status, Cai Jing must also have a very weighty "body confidant" in the Great Song army, so as to teach Cai Jing to better control the relationship between the civil and military factions in the court.

Ask yourself, in fact, Xiao Tang doesn't want Cai Jing to return to the phase, but now this Cai Yuanchang has returned to Beijing, and for Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, who is also very elegant, can best think about him, and Cai Jing's return to the phase can also teach the merry man to be poor and extravagant, and live a happier life. Manpower is finally limited, and now that Cai Jing is back in charge of the court is the trend of the times, Xiao Tang might as well temporarily further consolidate his position in the court through Cai Jing's hands, otherwise Rao is Xiao Tang will become the government and the opposition, just like when he was still a young master of the proprietor who was framed and persecuted by the magnates of the Daimyo Mansion, he could only be suppressed by others, but he could not do anything.

Knowing its male and guarding its female, knowing its glory and guarding its humiliation, the battle in the court is indeed different from the pleasure and arrogance seen in the rivers and lakes. All dynasties have also had arrogant power and hegemony for a while, and just like the cases of Li Dongyang overthrowing Liu Jin and Xu Jiedou overthrowing Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty, it took years of forbearance and planning to get what he wanted......

If you want to abolish it, you will rejuvenate it. He who takes what he wants, he will hold on to it.

Although it can't be said that he is in the right place, after listening to Xiao Tang carefully explain his thoughts, Cai Jing thought that this plan would indeed help him consolidate the power of the DPRK and China. And what he Cai Jing needs to do is to advise the officials that he agrees with Xiao Tang's strategy for preparing the Hedong military, although the relationship between the commanders, the left-behind divisions, and the commanders is intertwined, I don't know how many generals have opened up the joints and secretly colluded with all the big officials in the DPRK and China, and the training of the new army will not involve the interests of other powerful ministers... It's just that for Xiao Tang, he can obviously rely on the favor of the official family to obtain the status of a celebrity, but he prefers to make such a laborious and unpleasant plan...... He only wants to make a career in the side court and military exploits, in the final analysis, is he just a reckless man?

Thinking of this, Cai Jing turned his eyes to Xiao Tang again, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty attaches great importance to literature and education, and light martial arts, although the virtuous nephew has not been named in Donghuamen, he cannot seek a civil position in the court as a jinshi. But the old man sees that you are quite literate and sharp-witted, if you have to devote yourself to studying for a few years, you may not be able to assist the government and assist the country...... In the past, Han Zhong Xiangong also said that those who sang with the champion outside the Donghua Gate were good men, and the virtuous nephews had the heart to serve the country, and they did not have to be obsessed with making contributions to the side court. ”

The person who sings with the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good man, but when such a good man really arrives in a national disaster, can he persuade the enemy to put down the butcher's knife in his hand with the sage education? Xiao Tang sighed in his heart, and he secretly thought in his heart: How could I not know that in a season like the Great Song Dynasty, it is common for civilian officials to despise military officials? However, as a soldier who defends the country, he no longer has the courage of a golden iron horse and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, most of them are only for promotion and wealth, and it is not difficult to understand why the Song army collapsed and humiliated the country when the Jin people went south.

What's more, if I take the way of civil officials and try to govern the government and save the country, I am afraid that I will already have an enmity with you, Cai Jing and other powerful traitors. In terms of power and scheming, not to mention that my Taoism is far inferior to yours, if it is worn out to the time when the Jin Kingdom goes south, even if I am lucky enough to be able to take charge of the court, how much time will be left for me to turn the tide?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said to Cai Jing: "My Great Song Dynasty must not only have ministers of the society, but also generals who are loyal to the country. The younger generation is only shallow in learning, but he is just a soldier, but he wants to protect the peace of my Song Dynasty and the people with a modest effort, so as to fulfill the long-cherished wish in his heart, and hope that the Taishi will be fulfilled. ”

Cai Jing nodded quietly, although he was quite unimpressed with Xiao Tang's enthusiasm for military affairs, he also knew that Xiao Tang's suggestion was also beneficial to him.

After all, Xiao Tang is still the left-behind official of the Daimyo Mansion under the management of Liang Shijie, and Cai Jing will also regard him as a person from his own faction, not to mention that Xiao Tang is quite valued by the officials, so that after Cai Jing discussed with Xiao Tang about the deployment of the new army, the selection of the troops, and the salary of the Guanzhi army, he finally said that Xiao Tang has a heart to serve the country and is willing to help.

After Xiao Tang asked for his resignation and retired, Cai Jing instructed the officials in the mansion to welcome Xiao Tang out of the mansion.

When Cai Jing sat alone on the Taishi chair in the study, he stroked his long hair, and thought in his heart: The reason why the second year of high school was able to live in the third lieutenant and take charge of the front division of the palace was just because he was born in the Holy Hidden Mansion, and he was a well-behaved and good person to please the saint. Although I have been in contact with Gao Yu from time to time, it is also for the sake of the face of the official family, in the final analysis, he is just a scoundrel who was born in a pengmen and got carried away, how can he be compared with us and other courtiers who have studied the scriptures and discussed the Tao for many years!?

Gao Yu connived at his adopted son to do all kinds of ridiculous things, he ruined his reputation and good instructors, and the instructor family only thought that he was just a favored servant who relied on the official family Longen, but he couldn't make much trouble in the court...... Hum! How can these thoughtful old men not know?

But Xiao Tang is this son...... He is indeed a wonderful person who tastes bamboo and tunes silk, blows, sings and dances, and he can win the favor of the official family, not only because the saint likes the repertoire from his golden wind and jade dew building, but also the head of the Oiran who I heard that the official family often meets privately, is also from the Kabuki of the music workshop under the name of Xiao Tang. With time, how can the official family's favor for Xiao Tang be less than that high-ranking one?

What's more, although this Xiao Tang is willing to seek the near and far, and insists on emulating those military warriors to fight for some meritorious achievements, but he has led the army several times to recruit bandits who have made trouble, and the merits he has made are not vain, and I heard that Tong Guan and the kind of division in the Western Army also praised him. On the other hand, after Gao Yuquan took charge of the two divisions and three yayas, he invaded the military camp and used the private affairs to make the generals in the palace marshal's mansion as caretakers, and the Bianjing military brigade took the responsibility of defending the national capital, and let that guy mess around, although Bianjing was not in danger of being tired and overhanging, in case there was a thief near the left side of Gyeonggi Road, Gao Yu was in vain as the third lieutenant, wouldn't he ignore the safety of the officials and us and other senior officials of the DPRK and China?

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, although Xiao Tang is now shallow, if he can really obey me...... The front division of the palace is not as good as the Privy Council, and the commanders of the three yas and the front of the palace are all sent by military positions, and the military generals can also do it according to the routine. If Xiao Tang has the ability to command the army and generals, he can make the drawbacks of the military and political slackening of the standing division of Bianjing be corrected, although it is too early now, but who knows that one day he will not be able to replace Gao Yu and be the third lieutenant?
