Chapter 13: See Cai Jing

A morning of quarrels, Zhao Shu only felt a dry mouth, after leaving the Wende Palace, he hurriedly returned to his palace, he was really reluctant to his own Xiao Mingyue, as Zhao Shu expected, Mingyue has been pregnant for three months, the lower abdomen has been slightly bulging, taking the opportunity of Zhao'an Liangshan to pacify Fang La, Xiao Mingyue was taken out of the palace, and gave birth smoothly, so as not to be criticized. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After returning to his room, he looked at Mingyue who was cleaning up his room, and thought about his pampered and spoiled ex-girlfriend Sun Lin in his later life, which was a world of difference. Mingyue turned her back to Zhao Shu, didn't find that Zhao Shu had come in, Zhao Shu quietly walked behind Mingyue, hugged her, and kept stroking her bulging lower abdomen with her right hand, without the embarrassment after the first night a few months ago, Mingyue obeyed Zhao Shu, and her hand was also on his hand, enjoying the warmth brought by the body temperature of the two. Zhao Shu kissed Mingyue's earlobe, Mingyue flashed like an electric shock, Mingyue was pregnant, Zhao Shu didn't dare to do those things anymore.

Holding Mingyue quietly from behind, Zhao Shu's nose tip was on her hair, the fragrant and elegant body fragrance made him love it, I don't know how long it took, when Mingyue was going to do something else, Zhao Shu reluctantly let her go.

Be sure to take Mingyue out of the palace and make a home for herself outside. Zhao Shu is from later generations, and his family is only at a middle level in society, and there is no such concept as the current family. Like Mingyue, who was still running a family when she was pregnant, and her appearance was purely a goddess-level figure, what more could Zhao Shu ask for.

Zhao Shu sat alone in front of the table, and sent a report about Liangshan from the Privy Council, and it was a bunch of classical Chinese, and Zhao Shu looked at his head big. He regretted it, why didn't he watch "Water Margin" the night before the crossing? If you bring a copy of "Water Margin" to read, it can be much more useful than these reports.

Zhao Shu held his chin in his right hand, boredly flipping through these reports, but he was still thinking about other things in his heart.

Zhao Shu recalled the "Water Margin" that he had watched in later generations, although there is a big difference between the TV series and the novel, but one thing is the same, Liangshan One Hundred and Eight General followed Tong Guan to pacify Fang La, and many people died, although now he goes to Zhao'an, he will not take them to crusade against Liao, but these losses are still unnecessary.

Although the Liangshan army is strong in martial arts, it has not undergone formal training, and it has lost countless soldiers in the battle of the square Laqi against the Khitan, and in fact, it is not unjust. If these people are recruited under his command, he will be the highest commander in the first army, and Song Jiang will be their eldest brother. There are two cores in an army, and if there is a disagreement, the army cannot be controlled.

I thought about it for a while on the second night when I came to the Song Dynasty, the one or two hundred soldiers armed with spears on their backs crossed on their backs and red cloaks under the short guns, how eye-catching their lineup was, and they sacrificed their lives to protect themselves when they were assassinated, and that loyalty still moved Zhao Shu to this day.

There is also the Japanese battalion and the ironclad cavalry that came from behind, and the momentum is even more exciting.

An army loyal to itself must have its core troops, such as the Yang generals in the early Song Dynasty, and the back army of the Yue family army behind them are all out-and-out elites in the army.

However, these troops were all troops personally controlled by his "father" - the Imperial Forest Army. Although he is his "father", Zhao Shu does not hesitate to dig into his corner to expand his army. However, the Imperial Forest army only has a team of two or three thousand people, and it is not easy to poach a few hundred people.

Also, the Imperial Forest pro-army Du Yu Hou Lingfeng, the head of the Golden Gun Class Xu Ning, and the captain of his own guard Zhou Yang, these people will also be dug up as their own trusted generals.

But Zhao Shu didn't think about it, and he poached some people, and there was nothing left of the Imperial Forest Army around Song Huizong.

What to do? How? These have become a headache for Zhao Shu, and when he turned his mind, Zhao Shu thought of Cai Jing, he had helped Cai Jing a lot in the court in the past few months, and he had not spoken to him properly. But Cai Jing, an old and cunning thing, how can he talk to him?

No matter how much it was, Zhao Shu called Ling Feng over, and after telling him about his idea of visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion, he thought that Ling Feng would agree immediately, but he didn't expect to be shocked: "Your Highness!" I'm afraid that's not right! If you, an ordinary prince with a knighthood but no official, go to visit the prime minister of the dynasty, it is suspected of seizing the prince. If you are used by someone with a heart, I am afraid that you will say that you colluded with the prime minister to rebel, and it is better not to provoke this unnecessary trouble. If you can't fly, Your Highness can go in a small way. When he said the back, Ling Feng's voice was extremely low, and only the two of them could hear it.

Zhao Shu waved his hand and said, "That is, to discuss the matter of Zhao'an Liangshan, there are many things to ask the prime minister to do." There is no need for a private interview, it is better to be upright, and it is not something unseemly. It's hard to guarantee that there is no one with the prince in this imperial city, if the prince knows that I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in micro-service, I won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! That's it! ”

Of course, only Zhao Shu himself knows who he can't see.

"By the way, by the way, Xu Jiaotou and Zhou Yang are also called! With the three of you escorting this king, this king will rest assured! Zhao Shu said casually, after all, he had to have a good relationship with his future cronies and generals.

"This ......." Ling Feng's face leaked a look of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

"This Xu Jiaotou went to Liangshan a few months ago!" Ling Feng pursed his lips and said helplessly.

Zhao Shu suddenly realized, the golden gunner Xu Ning, no wonder he is so familiar, it turned out to be one of the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, he only blamed himself for not remembering it at the beginning, if he could remember it and take precautions early.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if Xu Ning is not there, sooner or later he will be his own person. Zhao Shu took Ling Feng, Zhou Yang and his own guards all the way towards the Prime Minister's Mansion with great fanfare.

Zhao Shu sat in the official sedan chair, not to mention enjoying this taste, although it was a little bumpy, but he had never felt it. In later generations, I have taken buses, subways, cars, airplanes, and cruise ships, but I have never sat on this thing, and I feel that it is still ingenious.

Zhao Shu gently opened the curtains of the sedan chair and once again witnessed the prosperity of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, looking tired, Zhao Shu fell asleep directly on the sedan chair.

I don't know how long it took, the sedan chair passed through a few streets and alleys, after the sedan chair was put down, although it was slight, but the vibration still woke Zhao Shu up, Zhao Shu opened the front door curtain and asked, "Arrived?" ”

"Report to Your Highness! The Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived! ”

Zhao Shu walked out of the sedan chair at this time, stretched his waist, and tidied up his appearance, the building in front of him was simply jaw-dropping and unbelievable.

Gold bricks and jade tiles, magnificent, there are two mighty stone lions standing on both sides of the gate on both sides of the gate, and more than a dozen family members stand on both sides of the gate with their hands on both sides of the gate. A jade plaque on the gate reads "Cai Mansion", two italic characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

Seeing that it was the car of the king of Jian'an County, the family outside the gate of Cai's mansion did not dare to slack off, and one family member quickly ran back to the house to report, and the others hurried up, leading the horses and greeting them.

Zhao Shu followed these family members into the mansion, Ling Feng and Zhou Yang also followed, but the other guards of the county king were guarding outside the Cai mansion.

I don't know if I don't come, and I'm scared when I come. This Prime Minister's Mansion has been prosperous to the point of being poor and luxurious, and even Ling Feng, who has been in the palace for a long time, feels that it is too much, which shows how much stolen money Cai Jing has embezzled over the years.

"Niangniang has been the queen in charge of the harem for so many years, and the royal life of the harem has always been simple. I didn't expect this prime minister's mansion to be more powerful than the royal family. Zhou Yang whispered beside Ling Feng and muttered.

Ling Feng turned Zhou Yang with his elbow and motioned for him not to talk nonsense. And Zhao Shu sighed on the side: "It turns out that the Summer Palace of the Empress Dowager Cixi is nothing more than that!" ”

"Empress Dowager Cixi!?"

"Summer Palace!?"

Ling Feng and Zhou Yang looked at Zhao Shu with an unclear expression, did they take the wrong medicine again, what nonsense are they talking about?

"His Royal Highness! The prime minister of my family is unwell, and it is inconvenient to come out to greet him, so he is waiting for the king of the county in the main hall! Please forgive your Highness! The old slave took His Royal Highness to the main hall. Just as Zhao Shu sighed at the poor and extravagant Prime Minister's Mansion, an old man who looked like a housekeeper ran over to greet him.

"It doesn't matter! Lead the way! Zhao Shu replied to the housekeeper with a smile, but in fact, the image of Cai Jing in his heart was another opinion, damn, what a big shelf, the king of the county came to visit and didn't come out to greet him and made excuses, it seems that he is really powerful to the extreme. No wonder Zhao Huan ordered him to be executed as soon as he ascended the throne, and it seems that the crown prince must have suffered this kind of treatment.

"Well deserved!!" Zhao Shu scolded in his heart.
