No. 009 Imperial History
"Oh, Lin Yushi, you have a lamp grass in your mouthβto put it lightly! According to what you say, there will definitely be no traffickers in the capital. However, as soon as we entered the capital yesterday, we came across a case of a missing child. How do you explain this? Cai Daocai will not pay attention to this kind of thing.
In fact, when they first entered the capital last night, they did encounter a case of missing children. However, just like later generations, the children who have just been lost, unless they are high-ranking officials and nobles, the yamen generally will not accept such cases, after all, there are many bear children, it is very likely that they are secretly hiding, not to mention that it was already dark at that time, and the officials were still in a hurry to go home for dinner?
"You doll, you don't have a word of truth? You say there is? And it's such a coincidence that you can touch anything! How did I not know? Speaking of this, Lin Guofu was a little unsure, after all, this kind of thing seemed to him to be a trivial matter, and for today's imperial history, staring at those ministers of the law-changing faction and waiting for an opportunity to attack them was what he should do.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Diandi knows this matter best, you can check with him later." While speaking, Cai Dao looked at Lin Guofu with a smile: "As for saying that I am unfaithful. Lin Yushi, Lord Lin, the grass people really don't know, since when, doing good deeds will also become ill-intentioned, and they will buy people's hearts. Your Majesty, my name was given by my master, and the adoption of those children was also done by the master on my behalf, and it never cost the Cai family a penny in the process. β¦β¦β
"Rhetoric and quibbles, and push everything on your master, then tell me, who is your master? I don't know if there is such a person? Lin Guofu interrupted Cai Dao's words again.
"Bai Yujing in the sky, Wudang Mountain on the ground.
The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was long-lived. β
Cai Dao put his two little hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and leisurely read out the poem that he had corrected.
"Hah...... Ha, doll, since you copy the poems, you have to copy him correctly, presumably your teacher is also a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it......" Lin Guofu heard it, this is not Li Taibai's poem 'After the chaos and separation, Tian'en Liuyelang reminisces about the old travel book and gives Jiang Xiawei too shou Liangzai'.
"Lin Guofu, shut up!" Suddenly, Song Shenzong scolded.
When I first heard Cai Daogai's unrecognizable poem, in fact, everyone's feelings were no different from Lin Guofu. However, things can't stand scrutiny, as long as someone thinks about it carefully, the more people who want to think there, the more they will definitely think in that direction.
This is very scary to think about!
As we all know, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have always believed in Taoism, especially Song Zhenzong. And the ancestor of Taoism in the Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan, according to rumors, once practiced in Wudang Mountain. It's just that the legendary Nine Room Rock has never been found.
Every emperor wanted to live forever. Song Shenzong is no exception, he is not very old, but he is anxious and arrogant, and he has been in poor health recently because of that tragic victory, and he is a little unable to do anything. So, it's no wonder he's so excited.
"Doll, when did you meet his old man?" Repelling Lin Guofu, Song Shenzong asked excitedly.
"I have never seen my master in person. Since I returned to my hometown in Xiaocili, every time I look at the sun, the grass people will dream at night, that is, someone will talk to me in my ear and teach me some messy things. This poem is what I dreamed of before I left Xiaocili. "Cai Dao is now more and more handy at making up nonsense,
It seems that the passive skill of clever tongue is really useful. is just one level, which makes Cai Dao, the original otaku, so eloquent. You must know that if Cai Dao was bored before, he might not be able to say ten words in a whole day.
"Did your teacher explain the meaning of the poem to you?"
"That's right, but there are some grass people who don't understand it very well. Master said that throughout the ages, there have been many people in the world who have sought immortality, but they have been disturbed by greed, hatred, and delusion. Just like the white jade capital in the sky is out of reach, it is better to retreat to the next best thing and return to the immortal cave mansion like Wudang Mountain. Well, that's roughly what it means" Cai Dao paced his little short legs, spun around in place a few times, and thought for a while before replying cutely.
As for whether these people believe it or not, that's not his business.
"Oh, I see!"
After listening to this, everyone had a faint disappointment in their hearts, and some slight expectations. As the immortals said, throughout the ages, there are a few people who have really become immortals, but it is not difficult to ask for longevity, it is easy to say that it is not easy, and it is not easy to know the immortal cave house in Wudang Mountain, and when you return to old age in the future, you can live here in seclusion for a few more years. What's more, those who know that story know that Chen Tuan Ancestor did tell his disciples in the past that two ancient priests once told him that Wudang Mountain could live in seclusion.
"Lin Yushi, you said that I adopted a large number of babies. There's nothing wrong with that, but do you know how many children, how many boys, how many girls, and what their last names are? In fact, since Cai Dao recited that poem, he has been invincible. However, since he heard that this imperial history might be from Fuqing County, he had no intention of letting him go.
"I ......" Actually, at this moment, Lin Guofu has already been blinded, and no one thought that this ghost child is actually very likely to be a disciple of Chen Tuan's ancestor. This time he sat down, but the information given by the adult did not mention this matter!
"Hmph, I know you don't know, I'll tell you! In the past two years, I have adopted a total of 111 children, but unfortunately, two of them died in the middle of the process. Now, there are 80 girls and 29 boys in the Cai Mansion. Of course, these girls are naturally surnamed Cai! Saying this, Cai Dao paused, turned around and looked at Lin Guofu with a smile,
"Lin Yushi, do you know what these boys' surnames are?"
"I don't know, can they still be surnamed Zhao?" Lin Guofu is now a little broken jar.
"'Zhao' is the surname of the country, and it is the right of His Majesty to give the surname of the country, and the grass people naturally dare not do this. However, regardless of their identity, these children are all children of the Great Song Dynasty after all. Therefore, Your Majesty, the grass people have the courage to make them all surnamed Song. When Cai Dao spoke, he looked straightforward, his little neck was stalked, and the corners of his mouth were almost upturned to the sky.
"Sizzle......" The ministers around him all gasped.
High!
That's high!
It's too high!
Under such a banner, even if the emperor or ministers were suspicious, no one dared to make a fuss about this matter. Because in this matter, the entire Cai family stands at the peak of morality and is already invincible. Even if they don't deal with it, the entire royal family has to agree with the Cai family's approach.
Now, in the emperor's heart, among the factions of the law change, the position of the Cai brothers has become more important.
And the conservative bigwigs obviously think deeper, with Wang Anshi's bad temper, they can't think of such a brilliant idea. Obviously, if it weren't for what this doll said, there would be a master behind the Cai family, if that illusory teacher wasn't made up by this doll. If not, it means that everyone underestimated the political wisdom of the Cai brothers. These two brothers are the masters!
"Surname Song", such an obvious thing, why didn't the adult inquire clearly, why......
At this time, Lin Guofu was stunned and shivered, his eyes were dull, his face was like ashes, and he stood there stiffly, and he couldn't enter or retreat, but now no one paid attention to him.
"Hah...... Ha! You can say that again! I will reward you well today. Sure enough, Song Shenzong was very happy after hearing this, this kid is really likable, and he does things without leakage, and it is really possible that he is an apprentice taught by that person, "Come on, proclaim the decree!" β
Shi Deyi took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago and read it out: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: ......"
During the reading process, many ministers frowned, even Cai Jing and Cai Bian, and the rewards were too rich. There are seven kinds of rewards given by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but listening to the meaning of the holy decree, Song Shenzong actually gave Cai Dao a birthday reward and a meritorious reward. In addition to generous material rewards, he also added the companion of Cai Dao General Shilang and the king of Yan'an.
However, this child is not an official in his own right. Even later, Cai Dao passed the boys' exam and was given the same Jinshi background by the official family, at that time, it was justified to give such a reward.
Immediately after the decree was read, a minister went out to give advice.
Who knows, at this time, Cai Dao suddenly rushed out, knelt in front of the royal collapse, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the gold and silver you have rewarded the grass people deserve; However, this general Shilang and his companion, please forgive the grass people for being rude, and they will never dare to accept it. β
