When Cai Jingwu was thinking about it, he saw Cai Tang walking into the study again, so he told him everything he had just said between himself and Xiao Tang, and then asked: "Xiao'er, Xiao Tang, what do you think?" ”

Hearing his father ask about Xiao Tang, Cai Yan seemed quite unimpressed, he snorted lightly, and said: "The child thinks that although this Xiao Tang will be able to please the official family, but listening to what his father said, Rao is a bit of a strange talent, but he is just an ordinary reckless martial artist. It's good that this person can be used by my Cai family, but my father has a high and prominent status, so why bother with a martial artist? ”

Cai Jing's gaze swept around Cai Ying's body again, shook his head again, and said coldly: "In vain, you often interact with the courtiers in the court, but you are shallow!" Gao Yu is just a courtier who can kick a few times, and he is a playful born who does not learn and has no skills, when did he associate with him as a father? Although my Great Song Dynasty has always been a noble and a military person, but because I am a civil official, I am above the top, and I disdain to associate with the reckless warriors in the court, but most of them are poor and sour and rotten Confucians!

The father and son of the Zhu family, who set up a bureau in Suzhou, are just lowly tenants. But now my father also has to rely on them to collect strange flowers and stones for the official family to enter the birthday gang, so that the official family's favor for my Cai family will not be reduced; That Tong Guan was only a worship officer because he was a fellow villager with the eunuch Li Xian, but Tong Guan was able to start with the Northwest Supervision Army like Li Zifan, and now he is in power, and he is also a soldier in the court, and now he is a father who wants to give him three points! Now there are still many people in the DPRK and China who regard me as an enemy, but if they can be used by the Cai family, how can they be arrogant and arrogant because of the difference between civil and military?

Just saying that Xiao Tang is favored by the saint can take this opportunity to act and consolidate the foundation of my Cai family in the imperial court. What's more, because Xiao Tang did not pass the imperial examination, the official family treated him with grace, and Xiao Tang must also have the moderation of a civil servant like his father, and it is expected that he will not be like Zhao Tingzhi, Zhang Kangguo, and Zheng Juzhong...... and You'er, the rebel son, also turned against his father in order to fight for power. Since this Xiao Tang can be used by my Cai family, you have to be self-conscious, regardless of the relevant interests!? ”

Listening to his own Lao Tzu's reprimand, Cai Yan nodded his head at the time, and even said that his father was teaching that he was indeed a confused child. Cai Jing saw Cai Ying's submissive appearance, and sighed indignantly, as if he felt that his old self was a few years older.

It is said that Cai Jing is a courtier who has been trained from the long and tragic political struggle between the old and new parties, compared with Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dan, Han Zhongyan and many other political tough, powerful and talented court heavyweights, and now in the face of the impeachment and condemnation of the DPRK and the central bureaucrats, Cai Jing also has more peace and calmness. Whether it is to perceive the holy will or the power of the mind, Cai Jing also asked himself that no one in the court can compete with him, and he can only unite with the party to hold on to his generation, but no one can completely defeat him in the political struggle.

And the only thing that can make Cai Jing feel at ease is that after all, he is in his twilight years. But who else can support his pillar and continue the power and status of his Cai family in the court.

Cai Jing was old in his heart, and he knelt Cai You, Cai Yu, Cai Xuan, Cai Xuan, Cai Xuan, Cai Jun and other heirs, thinking that Cai You's rebellious son was not filial, and he couldn't wait for the old man to be a hundred years later, so he also tried to compete for the phase. But he is not good at learning, and he only knows how to please the officials with the art of flattery, what can he do?

In addition to the second son Cai Yu, who died young, Cai Jing also thought that although his third son Cai Yi was a scholar of the Baohe Palace, he mostly relied on the blessing of his old son, but he was more than enough to keep and not enough to enter; Although the fourth son, Cai Juan, is the most outstanding among Cai Jing's descendants in terms of talent and knowledge, he is not a person who is good at using power and scheming when it comes to the city government and scheming; And Cai Yu is frail and sickly, and the rest of Cai Jun, his concubine Cai Jiu, and his adopted son Cai Yun are all relying on the power of their own Lao Tzu, and they will only be lustful dogs and horses, and indulge in pleasure waste, even if Cai Jing is dotted, so that his descendants are either in a high position in the Bianjing court, or sent to the state officials to be a prefect, but Cai Jing also knows very well: Although he will not be carried by the political enemies of the court, but what about his unsuccessful descendants?

Cai Jing looked at his fifth son, Cai Ying, with cold eyes, and thought: Although Yan'er is still shallow in terms of power and scheming, he is not like You'er and Qian'er who think that his wings are stiff and inconvenient to put me in his eyes, nor is he as chaotic and confused as Yun'er and others, he only knows how to be greedy for pleasure...... I also had high hopes for him, but although he also pleased the official family, and had decided to marry Princess Yanqing to him, but it was precisely because he had to marry the royal family Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, and after marriage, he could only be appointed as a lieutenant from the five grades, how much more could he enter the country?

Cai Jing saw Cai Jing's pair of slender eyes staring at him fixedly, which also made him even more worried and afraid to speak, after a while, Cai Jing sighed again and said: "Er'er, in terms of learning and knowledge, although you are not as good as Qian'er and Qian'er, you are also alert and calm, but you have no actual official position in the Xuanhe Palace, and after marrying the princess of Yanqing, you can only receive the false title of Captain of the Horse......

As the royal emperor's son-in-law, it is beautiful, but it seems that Déjà, Cao Sheng, Bangguang... and the little Wang Duwei, who was good friends with the official family, was also married to the princess by the royal family, but what about now? They are all just some people in the court, but they are just some people who talk lightly, and after you marry the princess, you will have more constraints on the road to becoming a colt... Yan'er, my father is very old, and the courtiers in the court who have evil intentions for my Cai family, I have to support a few of your brothers, although you look down on the martial artists in the court, but before you marry the princess, you must also do your part for the Cai family, and I am afraid that there will really be Xiao Tang, an official general, to help ......."

................

After meeting Cai Jing, the minister of power, Xiao Tang returned to his mansion with Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong, according to what Zhao Ji said when he was in Yanfu Palace, Xiao Tang was also ready to rush to the Imperial City Vertical Arch Hall early tomorrow morning to participate in the court meeting.

By the next morning, Xiao Tang had already changed into an official uniform, but compared to when he first went to court, Xiao Tang was now wearing a scarlet court uniform, and he hung jade swords and jade pendants according to the official system of six rank officials and above. The jade belt tied around the waist is also hung with a brocade ribbon, and according to the usual dispatch of the commander of the Jingnan Road to appease the inspection and supervision, he wears a crown of pigs on his head.

It's just that when he just put the badger crown on his head, Xiao Tang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he thought that when he was secretly acting in the green forest rivers and lakes, he used this divine beast that could distinguish between good and evil, symbolizing courage and justice, to cover his face, and now when he returned to Beijing and wanted to re-enter the court, he put this hedgehog beast on his head.

Some time ago, Xiao Tang was also the leader of the strongman who commanded the green forest and several mountains, wearing a badger mask to make waves, which made the officials and soldiers of Jingdong and Hebei Road change their voices, but now he is a "hedgehog", and he is going to swagger straight to the palace, and then deal with the treacherous ministers in the court in another way.
