When Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty, was deposed by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, he went to Hangzhou and meditated on his own mistakes behind closed doors. Cai Jing took off his court clothes and official boots, and left the Jinluan Hall surrounded by guards. At the same time, Song Huizong Zhao Ji's gaze stayed on Yang Jian beside him, and he trembled all over.

At the beginning, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong asked Yang Jian to thoroughly investigate Cai Jing's affairs, without any clue. Now, Yu Shi and others have found Cai Jing's guilt evidence, which has made him lose face. Yang Jian looked at Song Huizong's cold gaze, his whole body trembled, he knew that he would also be implicated.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji glared fiercely and wrote lightly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

"Retreat!" Yang Jian hurriedly echoed and shouted in his unique sharp voice, and everyone could feel the trembling meaning in his voice.

Everyone looked at Yang Jian gloatingly, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji got up from the dragon chair, left with a tiger's step, and walked to the side hall; Yang Jian hurriedly chased after him. Everyone saw Song Huizong's expressionless face, with a cold face, hiding the anger in their hearts, and they all speculated that Zhao Ji was in a very bad mood, and Yang Jian would also be punished by Song Huizong.

Zhao Ji came to the side hall angrily and retreated from everyone, even the palace maid and others all retreated, leaving Yang Jian alone, which made him even more frightened. Yang Jian lowered his head, not daring to look at Song Huizong's eyes. At this time, Song Huizong did not have any weakness, and the light in his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and seeing Yang Jian's true thoughts in his heart made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

Song Huizong looked at Yang Jian intently, never said a word, and didn't even take a sip of the tea beside him; Yang Jian kept his head down from beginning to end. Zhao Ji said coldly: "Since I ascended the throne, you have followed me on my side, remembering how talented you are, and knowing my intentions, so I have always kept you by my side. ”

"No!" Yang Jian replied solemnly.

"I am the king of a country, as the Son of Heaven, all my people are in the four seas, why would you join Cai Jing and deceive me!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji calmly spoke eloquently, hearing that Yang Jian trembled even more, Zhao Ji continued: "It is a great kindness for me to let you serve in the court as a eunuch, why do you still deceive me." If it weren't for the imperial history, Lord Zhang would be impeached today, how long would you want to hide it? ”

Yang Jian drooped his head, his strength was weak, and his eyes were blank and replied: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare? Hum! ......" Zhao Ji laughed angrily and said: "I appointed you as the envoy of the Changhua Army, thinking of your merits, I will be so gracious, relying on my favor, acting recklessly, filling my own pockets, I am afraid that these years are more nourishing than my life." Do you know why I didn't punish you in front of my ministers, and why I just dismissed the prime minister and didn't kill him, for any of the things he committed were all heinous sins! ”

Yang Jian replied tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know! ”

"I'll tell you why!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji sneered and said, "Cai Jing is the prime minister of the dynasty, if I kill him, the balance between the court and the center will be out of constraint." I know in my heart that Cai Jing uses power for personal gain and fills his pockets, so what? But he is still a real minister, subject to me. As long as I give an order, I can ask for his head, I have been obsessed with calligraphy and painting all these years, and he is in charge of all major affairs in the court. ”

"Whether it's good or bad, I haven't held him accountable, just because the merits and demerits of these years cancel each other out, I just turn a blind eye, there are some things that I can't do as an emperor, I can only do with the help of some people's hands. As the king of a country, sometimes he is also very helpless. ”

"I ordered you to go and investigate Cai Jing's affairs, firstly, to remember the old relationship, and secondly, to give you the opportunity to be loyal to me wholeheartedly. It's a pity that the two of you are really disappointed in me. If there is no restraint from Cai Jing, there will inevitably be a partisan struggle between the DPRK and China, and when the emperor was alive, he advocated changing the law and wanted to strengthen the country, but there were too few people in the court and the CCP who really thought about the country's society and could not be used. ”

Yang Jian was dumbfounded, looking at Zhao Ji who was talking eloquently, as if he was seeing a stranger, he couldn't help but think of the first time he followed Zhao Ji by the side of Song Huizong Zhao Ji this year, and saw Zhao Ji for the first time, and he never thought that Zhao Ji was so far-sighted, from the beginning he made everyone think that he was an incompetent emperor, reused Cai Jing, and let himself enter the court as a eunuch as a festival envoy, all of which were Song Huizong's strategy.

Yang Jian worked in the harem when he was young, in charge of the back garden, and was good at speculating on the emperor's meaning. Since Chongning, he has been increasingly favored by Song Huizong, and was appointed by Zhao Ji to enter the court as an official, serving as the governor of the inner province, and even the Ming Hall in the court, casting Jiuding, repairing Dasheng Mansion and Longde Palace, he served as a promotion officer.

He asked himself that he knew Song Huizong Zhao Ji's mind well, and after seeing Zhao Ji's different side, Yang Jian felt very ridiculous. I used to think that I had seen through Song Huizong's intentions, but now I understand that everything is in vain, all of this is pretended by Zhao Ji to deceive the ministers of the court and the inner servants around him, the real Zhao Ji is a hidden person.

When everything was clear, Yang Jian remembered that Zhao Ji of Song Huizong ascended the throne as emperor, although it was very important to get the support of the Queen Mother, the real thing is that Zhao Ji himself also has some means. In that year, when he first ascended to the throne and held power, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong couldn't wait to settle accounts with the people who had happened that year and re-enable a group of officials.

Now that he thinks about it, Yang Jian understands why Zhao Ji reuses a few of them, in fact, he is cultivating his own power. The partisan struggle between the DPRK and China has become more and more intense, so that Zhao Ji of Song Huizong did not tire of it, but did not dare to brazenly punish the leaders of the reformers and the old faction.

Therefore, Song Huizong Zhao Ji reused Cai Jing and others, just to curb the dispute between the two factions in the DPRK and China, and also to balance the balance of power of court officials. I never thought that Cai Jing was ambitious, greedy, high-profile, and did not know how to forbear, so that he angered Zhao Ji's bottom line, directly removed the prime minister, and demoted him to the crown prince Shaobao, which actually contained the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Although this is a bit risky, it is actually a good way to kill two birds with one stone, and as long as Cai Jing exists, the conflict between the two factions will not happen again. The most important thing is that Cai Jing is under the control of Song Huizong, and he has not been afraid at all. It's a pity that there are several things that Zhao Ji doesn't know about the things played by the imperial history, and they will be degraded.

Although Cai Jingquan leaned towards the government and the opposition and monopolized most of the official positions in the DPRK and the central government, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong also turned a blind eye, in fact, he wanted to let the two factions not have any time to fight, and deal with Cai Jing wholeheartedly to play a balancing role. It's a pity that Cai Jing grew up too fast, and he almost got out of Zhao Ji's control, and finally simply became a hand-shaking emperor, ignoring everything, ignoring the government and politics, and forcing everyone to work together to deal with Cai Jing.

This trick is very dangerous, if it is used well, it is good, and if it is not used well, then he will really be stinking for 10,000 years and become the emperor spurned by everyone. Moreover, if this trick is not used well, then Cai Jing will control the government, and he, the emperor, is also in name only, all of this is Zhao Ji's plan, and it is also a big gamble, using his reputation and the national power of the Great Song Dynasty to gamble.

"A companion is like a tiger!" Yang Jian felt bitter in his heart, and secretly thought: "The miscellaneous family thinks that they have seen through the emperor's mind, but how can they speculate and understand the emperor's mind when they know it today?" If this is really the case, then the emperor has deceived everyone, and even himself, and only in this way can it be seamless, and no one can detect it. ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji had a cold face, and said coldly: "Cai Jing is still somewhat useful to me, as for you know so many secrets of me, you should know what the final outcome is, and after following me for all these years, you should know my thoughts." In this way, you don't need to say too much, you can do it yourself! ”

Yang Jian nodded bitterly, what he thought in his heart was that he had no eyes and no beads, and he speculated about people's hearts all day long, but in the end, he still didn't guess the emperor's intentions. His eyes looked at a glass of wine beside Song Huizong's desk, and kowtowed respectfully: "Slave thank the emperor for the reward!" ”

He held the wine glass with trembling hands and drank it all, Yang Jian, as the emperor's chamberlain, sent hundreds of wine from his hands. Because, this cup of wine is soul-breaking wine, and inside the wine is extremely poisonous crane top red. In the palace, as long as this kind of wine appears, it is basically a death.

Yang Jian never thought that he would one day get this kind of "reward"! So, Yang Jian smiled bitterly and drank it all. After a moment, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. Yang Jian's seven orifices were bleeding, and he was crying for his life, and he reported directly to the king of Hades, his eyes widened until he died, looking incredulous, as if he didn't believe that what was happening in front of him was true, and he was really given death by Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was expressionless, sneered again and again, whispered, and muttered indifferently: "I have told you so much, only a dead person can keep this secret!" ”
