Chapter 322: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The snow is falling at the foot of Liangshan, and the same is true in Bianjing, but as a world metropolis, Bianjing City has not become depressed because of a heavy snowfall, on the contrary, it has become very lively, many literati and writers have walked out of their own small world, in this time of heavy snowfall, how many beautiful poems are about to appear, and they are about to spread all over the streets and alleys. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is an era of literati in charge, but also an era of happiness, the streets and alleys, there are traces of literati and ink writers everywhere, in their opinion, when today, except for traitors in power, it is the most prosperous time.
It's just that as the members of the imperial court, but there is no such mood, in the high-level, the news of the defeat of Gao Yu's army still came out quickly, early in the morning, I saw a small sedan chair out of the mansion, towards the huge palace, countless lanterns on the street, the entire street was dyed like day, at this time in the past, everyone would say hello to each other, but now, the street is silent, it seems to be brewing something.
In front of the vertical arch hall, Cai Jing sat on the chair with his head down and did not speak, a big man like this can sit in the side hall and wait for the court, and the others can only sit outside, where is the opportunity.
"Taishi, where is Taiwei?" Li Bangyan walked over, with a trace of sadness on his face, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, maybe he was very glad or couldn't say.
"The army has been defeated." Cai Jing glanced at Li Bangyan indifferently and said: "Even he himself was captured by Song Jiang, and tens of thousands of troops were killed and wounded, hehe, this is the biggest shame since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Yes, yes." Li Bangyan nodded, but he was disdainful in his heart, what kind of character is Gao Yu, who can also be in charge of an army of 100,000? That's a big joke. It's just that the purpose of his coming at this time is not like this, he just said in a low voice: "Xia Guan heard that Su Yuanjing is going to write a book, and ask the official family to recruit An Liangshan thief." Wang Hao and others also agreed. ”
"Zhao'an? In the past, if you wanted to recruit An, it was nothing, but now I want to recruit An, I'm afraid it won't be. My Great Song 100,000 army attacked Liangshan, but suffered a crushing defeat, at this time Zhao'an, isn't it like the world to show that my Great Song Dynasty is incompetent? In the future, there will be more thieves who will rise up, and at that time, the world will be in chaos, and you can recruit security whenever you want, but you must not recruit security after our defeat. Cai Jing said disdainfully.
Today's emperor is afraid of trouble, but he pays more attention to his face, and he is beaten by a group of thieves, and finally he will be forced to recruit An, what a shame this is, although Su Yuanjing is a little famous, but in fact he doesn't understand the Son of Heaven, Wang Hao and others are even more stupid, they actually want to be more Su Yuanjing united, and also mention the matter of Zhao'an, those Qingliuyan can agree.
"The daily consumption of an army of 100,000 is very great, and the war is plagued together, and the lives are devastated, and the saints rule the world, and mercy is the main thing. Xiao Wang thought that if he could recruit Liangshan at this time, it would not only be the luck of Liangshan, but also the luck of my court. A clear voice came, but I saw a young man in a brocade robe walk in, who was it not Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.
"What His Highness said is very true, if you can turn soldiers into jade silk, the world is peaceful, that is the best thing." An old man with a kind face nodded again and again, he was wearing a purple official robe, looking at Zhao Kai with a hint of approval on his face, he was the former lieutenant of the palace Su Yuanjing, he and Gao Yu were in charge of the forbidden army, one was in charge of the front of the palace, and the other was in charge of the guard department, Su Yuanjing was also one of Zhao Ji's henchmen, and he had always been enemies with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others.
"The scholar's opinion, it's a joke." After Cai Jing listened, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, although this Su Yuanjing is a little virtuous, but unfortunately, the current situation has reached the point where it is not transferred for personal transfer, even if it is to recruit An, it is only after defeating the Liangshan thieves that the matter of Zhao'an can be mentioned. Otherwise, where will Da Song's face be placed at this time?
"Could it be that the Taishi thinks this war can still be fought? Gao Taiwei is in the hands of Liang Shan! Su Yuanjing said unhurriedly. Gao Yu's life and death have nothing to do with Su Yuanjing, but if this sentence comes out of Cai Jing's mouth, the relationship between Gao Yu and Cai Jing may immediately fall out.
"Everything has its own official cadres and cadres, but if the Liangshan thieves want to accept the court's recruitment, they must first release Gao Taiwei, as for whether they can be recruited by the court, it also depends on the attitude of the Liangshan thieves." What kind of person is Cai Jing, how could he be in the trap of Su Yuanjing, and said calmly at the moment: "If even Gao Taiwei can't be released, how can the imperial court determine the sincerity of the Liangshan thieves?" Since Su Taiwei is so benevolent and righteous, why don't you ask Su Taiwei to go to Liangshan and recruit Liangshan thieves, how about it? ”
"You." Su Yuanjing's face changed, the Liangshan thief Kou even dared to resist the 100,000 troops of the imperial court, and even Gao Yu dared to arrest him, where could he escape to?
"What? Yuanjing wants to recruit Anliang Mountain thieves? At this time, a gentle voice sounded in the hall, like a spring breeze, but I saw Zhao Ji coming slowly, accompanied by Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng behind him, Zhao Ji smiled, even if his henchmen were captured by the enemy, Zhao Ji still didn't have any worry on his face.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current treasury is empty and cannot start the war lightly, and the Taiwei has fallen into the hands of the enemy, if he forcibly attacks the Liangshan thieves at this time, I am afraid that it will endanger the life of the Taiwei, or postpone the attack, and Zhao'an should be the first." Su Yuanjing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
"Humph!" After Cai Jing heard this, his face was gloomy, but he didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, even if it is Zhao'an, you must fight a battle first, at this time, Zhao'an, where is the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty, the 100,000-strong army has not even cleaned up a Liangshan thief, and the court has to tie up someone's life, where is the majesty of the court, I am afraid that there will be more people who will rebel in the future, and when they can't support it, they will ask the court to recruit An, where is there such a good thing in this world, the minister thinks, for the dignity of the court, for my Song Dynasty, Immediately ordered Li Jing to settle Liangshan within fifteen days. A dissatisfied voice came, but it was Wang Hao's righteous voice.
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't react at once, but he was cunning and cunning and guessed the problem at once, his face was pale, and he looked at Wang Hao with angry eyes, this guy let Li Jing attack Liangshan, on the one hand, he forced Liangshan thieves to kill Gao Yu, and it was almost impossible to pacify Liangshan within half a month, and then he could use an excuse to kill Li Jing, kill two birds with one stone, and kill people with a knife, how insidious it is.
