Zhao Ji asked in surprise: "What does the Taishi mean by this?" ”

Cai Jing replied: "A few years ago, there was a gang of bandits in Weishan Lake, they occupied the islands in the lake for trouble, the local government not only did not care, but also colluded with the bandits, resulting in rampant banditry, Feng' County is not far from Weishan Lake, and the bandits naturally affected the development of Feng' County, so Kochi County was angry and led the township soldiers to kill the bandits.

"And that kind of thing?" When Zhao Ji heard it for the first time, he was secretly shocked, he didn't expect that his court would make a fuss about the collusion of officials and bandits, which was too unexpected. Of course, he was also amazed by Gao Feng's decisive move to get rid of the bandits, if his subordinates were like Gao Feng, why didn't the Great Song Dynasty get rich and strong, and where did the civil strife come from?

Cai Jing replied: "There is no doubt about this matter, and there is still evidence in the hands of Lord Zhang, the assassin of Xuzhou, only because the matter was extremely short and did not cause damage, so it was not reported to the imperial court." ”

Zhao Ji already understood when he heard this, he didn't report to the court, not because of what Cai Jing said, but because Gao Feng sent troops privately and crossed the border to suppress bandits, Zhang Ye was afraid that once some people in the court understood the situation, they would grab Gao Feng's pigtails and hold on, which would affect the development plan, so he just informed Cai Jing privately.

He can also understand this kind of thing, Gao Feng privately suppressed bandits for the sake of development, although he used some troops, but it was also within his bearing, and he would not care about it.

"This alone can't show that Gao Aiqing has a set of problems with bandits, right?" Zhao Ji asked. There is a difference between bandits and bandits, how can a handful of lake bandits be compared with the Songjiang drama thieves who have become a climate? Zhao Ji's question is here.

Cai Jing patiently continued: "Naturally, there is more than this. Since the suppression of the lake bandits in Kochi County, he has felt that there are many habitual bandits hidden in the surrounding mountains, forests or lakes, and these habitual bandits have caused great harm to the merchants and traders, and they have posed a threat to their development plans, so they must be eliminated. ”

"Okay, good job." Since Song Jiang's rebellion, Zhao Ji has made the bandits upset, for two years, there is no good news, he is a little discouraged, and now he finally hears a good news, how can he not be happy? Even if the news is outdated, he has found a balance for it, so he praises Gao Feng.

After being happy, Zhao Ji immediately thought about it and asked, "Taishi, what grade is Gao Aiqing now?" ”

"Liupin Chao Fenglang." Cai Jing replied.

"That's just right, Qingzhou lacks a Zhizhou, so let's order Gao Aiqing to invite a doctor for the court and go to Qingzhou." Zhao Ji preached.

"This—" Cai Jing hesitated, but still responded, "This matter is feasible." ”

Cai Jing's hesitation is justified.

In the Song Dynasty, there was little difference between Zhizhou, Thorn History, Taishou and Zhou Mu in the sense, which means that they were all the governors of a state, but there were still differences.

Taishou was the governor of the county system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and although he was occasionally called in the Song Dynasty, it was not an official statement; The governor is not a formal official system, it is the governor of the state by the courtiers, and its official rank is still the original rank of the courtiers, that is to say, the governor is in charge of the affairs of the state, but he is not the official of the state. The assassin history and the state pastor are real official systems, but some of them are not in place, so some of them are ineffective.

There is another difference, that is, the general state assassin history is only from the five-grade official position, while Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yongzhou Mu are from the second-grade official position, and the gap between the two is huge.

Cai Jing hesitated to know Qingzhou at the peak, Qingzhou belongs to a high-level state capital, and his official qualifications are not enough. can think about it, Zeng Xiaoyun can be transferred to the prefect of Qingzhou, why not Gao Feng? What's more, this is a special period, and counterinsurgency is the most important, so it is not necessary to adjust the peak.

Cai Jing had no opinion, Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief, he also wanted to see if the lucky star he thought could bring blessings, if he could catch Song Jiang and the others, then he would be able to get rid of a large piece of heart disease.

Finally, looking at Cai Jing, Zhao Ji still said: "Taishi, you have worked hard for the imperial court for many years, and you can be described as a high degree of hard work, plus you have meritorious service in recommending Gao Aiqing, you are really a good helper for me, but you are old, and I really can't bear to let Taishi bother anymore." ”

Speaking of which, there is no need to go on to say Cai Jing to understand that Zhao Ji meant to let him be a scholar. It is polite to say that it is a wise statement, but in fact it is to find a scapegoat.

The world is in turmoil, and at this time all the spearheads are pointed at the imperial court, who will top this tank, it is impossible for the emperor to top it, then it has to be the minister. Ordinary ministers really can't afford it, they must be heavyweights, and Cai Jing is the most suitable candidate.

Cai Jing served as the prime minister, sealed the Duke of Lu, and controlled the government for many years, and he was the culprit of Huashigang, so it was most suitable for him to top the cylinder.

The most important thing is that Cai Jing is older, and it is very difficult to preside over the government again, so there is nothing wrong with him becoming a minister, and Zhao Ji is not psychologically burdened.

In fact, if Cai Jing hadn't recommended Gao Feng, Zhao Ji would not have been as simple as letting Cai Jing Zhishi, and he might have put some faults on his head, and Cai Jing would have been a tainted person at that time.

Cai Jing is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, how can he not understand these things? Zhao Ji understood after a little bit of understanding, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the excerpt of the minister's resignation will be handed over tomorrow." ”

The emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty were very face-saving, whether they were conferring officials or resigning officials, they had to pay attention to them.

For example, Cai Jing had to resign three times this time. The emperor will not agree to the resignation of the official for the first time, which shows that the emperor attaches importance to talents and is unwilling to let them go. After the excerpt is sent back, don't think that the emperor is sincere, it would be wrong to think that way, the way to do this is to resign again, and this time the emperor will not agree. At this time, he still can't breathe a sigh of relief, but should go to the table for the third time, if the emperor doesn't really keep people, he will definitely approve it this time.

When Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were playing the game of "You Come and Go" and "Stay", Gao Feng was not idle, he was paying close attention to the domestic and foreign situation at the same time, he was also increasing the improvement of his own strength.

The fact that the situation at home and abroad is not much different from that in history shows that he has not affected the course of history, and at this time he is more careful, for fear that if he does not pay attention, he will push history in an unfamiliar direction, and then he will be blind and will not be able to judge anything.

When he couldn't control the overall situation, he didn't want to add too many variables, he just wanted to quietly watch the development of the situation at this time, and consider when his Jedi strike should be, maybe the real change in history was only at that moment.
