Xiao Tang only vaguely heard Cai Yan and Nadu Guan mention "Yang Jian" and "related relatives", and as for the key words such as the Ximen officials in Yanggu County, he didn't really hear it. Xiao Tang heard the other party report his identity, and then learned that he was the fifth son of Cai Jing, and he was also Cai Ying, who had a marriage contract with Princess Zhao Fujin of Yanqing.

Compared with Cai You, who is flattering and bullied, and now he is also fighting against his own son Cai Jing because he wants to compete for the phase, it seems that this Cai Ying is more easy-going in receiving people and things, and he does not rely on his father Cai Jing's momentum to play with Xiao Tang.

This Cai Yan is also lucky, he can marry a princess like Zhao Fujin, who is kind and gentle, but after the Jin army broke through Tokyo Bianliang in the official history, Cai Yan watched his wife's room change hands several times, and died tragically after suffering and torture, but he could only go north with a large number of courtiers being captured, and still served Emperor Huizong and Qinzong for a long time in the Jin Kingdom.

It's just that Song Huizong, who was imprisoned in the city of the Five Kingdoms according to the trajectory of the official history, was always able to stand up whenever there was a difficulty, and some people in later generations would say that Cai Ying was a pity because his father Cai Jing misled the country, and he suffered from infamy. Xiao Tang was noncommittal about this, it seems that Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng and other traitors are also loyal to Song Huizong, and the fallen Cai Yan can only be loyal to Zhao Ji for the sake of the reputation of future generations or his own safety. Said that Cai Yan is a virtuous minister with high style and courage? Not necessarily.

Xiao Tang exchanged a few polite words with Cai Ying, and then went straight to the back hall of Cai's mansion under his guidance, Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong were the stewards and staff members of Xiao Tang's mansion, so they were entertained by Li Duguan in Cai's mansion, and still stayed in the side hall to wait.

While Xiao Tang followed Cai Yan to Cai's inner house, he was also looking at the scenery around. Seeing that the mansion of Caifu seems to have been renovated after Cai Jing returned to Beijing. Whether it is the corridor or garden, there are skilled craftsmen carefully designed, and the degree of luxury is not only far more than Xiao Tang's mansion in Bianjing, but also compared to the palaces in the inner courtyard of the palace for Zhao Ji to play, it seems to be much better.

Finally, Xiao Tang and Cai Yan came to a study in Cai's mansion, and when he followed Cai Ying into the room, he saw Cai Jing, a generation of powerful traitors, sitting on the top. Although Cai Jing is nearly seventy years old, he is in good spirits, a pair of slender hanging eyes contain fine light, and the three locks of beautiful hair under his chin also make Cai Jing look more elegant and fairy.

In an instant, the four eyes met, and Xiao Tang suddenly felt that Cai Jing's two thin eyes seemed to shoot out two sharp lights, and they wanted to probe into his heart. Cai Jing is obviously a literati veteran, but his aura is also very powerful, Xiao Tang vaguely felt a sense of oppression from Cai Jing, and the straight sect couldn't be underestimated.

Xiao Tang secretly praised it, and said in his heart: Rao is Cai Jing is a traitor, but he has experienced decades of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, and he has ruled the Great Song Dynasty several times before and after, just saying that this aura has far surpassed Zheng Juzhong, Liang Shijie and others, and he really needs to be careful to deal with it.

After thinking about it in his heart, Xiao Tang immediately bowed to Cai Jingzuo and said: "After I was born, I learned from Xiao Tang and met Cai Gongxiang." ”

Cai Jing squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Tang for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Xian's nephew is invited to get up quickly, and it is also the dart line under the name of Tuoxian's nephew, so that Shijie's annual enshrinement in the old man's birthday will not be lost." You are also an official from Shijie's family, and you don't have to see the old man. ”

When Xiao Tang took his seat, Cai Ying also said goodbye to Cai Jing, leaving only Xiao Tang and Cai Jing in the study, and then Cai Jing said angrily: "The first time the old man heard the name of the virtuous nephew was a few years ago because the virtuous nephew broke Ling Zun's life, and consulted the murder complaint paper approved by Shijie. As the so-called husband and father humiliate the son to death, of course, the old man also knew that the rebel son of the famous mansion Li Tong judged the family for private use and did many evils, although the virtuous nephew committed a murder, but it was also excusable......

It was because the old man also followed Shijie's intentions, and when he forwarded the paper to the saint, he also hoped that the virtuous nephew would be forgiven and could be sent lightly. It is the emperor's grace that is immense, but after the virtuous nephew is matched, he can have such a creation today, and now he has made contributions to the country several times, and was summoned by the saint to Bianjing to repay the emperor's grace, which really made the old man unexpected. ”

Cai Jing's words are much more clever than his unlearned and rampant rebel Cai You. When Cai You first saw Xiao Tang, he commanded and shouted that Xiao Tang's life was given by the Cai family, so he had to work for his Cai family and repay the grace of reconstruction. But while Cai Jing reminded Xiao Tang, his statement was also more acceptable, which made Xiao Tang unconsciously feel a little close to Cai Jing.

People are old ghosts, but ginger is still old and spicy...... Xiao Tang secretly sighed in his heart, and said to Cai Jing again: "In his later life, he was high-spirited and committed a relationship between human life, but he was in the wrong love between Cai Gongxiang and Liang Zhongshu. The grace of reinvention does not dare or forget, but when it is used in the place of late birth, it should be rewarded with the saddle of the ring. ”

Cai Jing nodded, and said: "Shijie also said that the virtuous nephew was very diligent when he served in the left-behind division of the Daimyo Mansion, and over the years, my Cai family has also had to be dedicated to the darts under the name of the virtuous nephew, so as not to be forcibly seized by the people in the birthday gang...... Oh, the virtuous nephew is brilliant, not only can think of such a dart line and prosperous wealth, but also is a wonderful person who is good at tasting bamboo and silk. Many of the repertoire from the Golden Wind Drizzle Building you opened also taught the old man to love it very much. It is no wonder that the Holy Lord will cherish his talents and reuse his virtuous nephew to the Beijing Division. ”

Xiao Tang said a few words of humility after hearing this, and Cai Jing suddenly changed his words and said: "The old man has also heard that the reputation of the virtuous nephew in the rivers and lakes is also very loud, I heard that you are also praised as 'Ren Xia' by the people in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Xiao Tang smiled faintly and said: "Back then, the younger generation was known to be chivalrous because of the enemy, and the younger generation made a living in the dart industry, horse market, sea trade, etc., and often had to contact with people in the rivers and lakes. It's just a name in the rivers and lakes, and it's difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but it teaches Taishi Cai to laugh. ”

Cai Jing bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "The husband is a chivalrous man, negative and dignified, happy and hateful, but he is slow about the law and does not know the constraints, in the Han Dynasty, Guo Xie was called a heroic ranger, and Lei was superb in swordsmanship, and he was known as the first swordsman in Huainan, but Guo Xie was domineering and arbitrary, and finally he was inevitably destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty......

In the Tang Dynasty, the style of rangers was also very popular, but most of the chivalrous people violated the ban with martial arts, and they called themselves righteous warriors, saying that they were free from misfortune without seeking knowledge, and saving people from difficulties without hoping for retribution. However, most of the ancient and modern chivalrous people are self-willed, brave and not easy to learn and cause chaos, especially in this season, those from all over the world, the so-called people in the rivers and lakes are called chivalrous in vain, and there are not too many strongmen and bandits who do murder and goods. Since the virtuous nephew is an important minister in the court, he must not be called a hero by the people recklessly, and the courage of the man is vain. ”

Listening to Cai Jing's words, the stronger the preaching, Xiao Tang also felt very strange in his heart, he said to himself, he thought that Cai Jing would not be able to see through his secret power in the green forest, why did he persuade me to have less contact with people in the rivers and lakes? If it is said that many chivalry are forbidden by martial arts...... Now the Great Song Dynasty Gang, but it can already be said that you have been raped by your group of power "Confucianism and literature to mess with the law", if this country is really peaceful and peaceful, and can continue to be stable for a long time, even if there are martial artists who violate the ban, how much storm can it set off? Why should I join forces to fight the heroes of the green forest and support several rebels to prepare to resist the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom to the south?

Although Xiao Tang thought so in his heart, he still bowed his hand to Cai Jing and said: "What Cai Gong taught is that the younger generation should remember it in his heart and dare not forget it. ”

Cai Jing's fine eyes were a little gone, he smiled, and said, "Can the virtuous nephew really listen to what the old man said?" If you are embarrassed, why do you have to quarrel with Gao Taiwei to the point of incompatibility...... And the bizarre death of his moth's son Gao Yanei, does it really have anything to do with the virtuous nephew? ”
