The 399th bigwig of the reform faction returned to Beijing
This is, because Cai Dao has received a news that surprised him very much, but he was helpless.
Before, it was Yang Wei who stayed in Taiyuan Mansion and wanted to redeem himself, and he had already suggested that the little emperor, together with Zhang Dian, edict Cai Dao's uncle Cai Jing and father Cai Bian back to the capital at the same time.
By the way, there are also those two talented and virtuous Lu Huiqing and Deng Guan.
Therefore, after several considerations, Cai Dao still chose to leave the army with Cai Bucket and Cai Ban and returned to the Baiyun Temple after a long absence.
Yang Wei originally wanted to go to Baiyun Temple in person to invite Cai Dao down the mountain, but he was a smart man, and he thought he understood the thoughts in this child's heart, thinking that Luo Guozi wanted to raise his own value, and secretly forced the little emperor to take the initiative to recruit him with the highest etiquette. Instead of having his own minister, come.
In the end, Yang Wei led Cai You and Cai Dao's younger brothers back to Bianliang City with regret.
As soon as Yang Wei returned to the capital, he immediately entered the palace and told Zhao Xu how he rescued Cai Dao and other brothers from the bandits' den. Because, Ding Youcai and Qian, the two big businessmen, are very likely to be personally received by the little emperor, and these two people who are going to go straight to heaven should not be easily offended.
After listening to Yang Wei's narration, Zhao Xu was indeed a little angry at first, although this time going down the mountain can be said to be Cai Dao's own Lin Liang's den of thieves. But in any case, he is the emperor, why is he so arrogant.
However, thinking about it, Zhao Xu suddenly thought of someone, and this bit of anger in his heart disappeared. It's true that there is nothing I can do with that kid, but the person who can make that Luo pot will soon enter Beijing.
That's right, this person is Cai Dao's biological father Cai Bian. Although there is not much family affection between the two fathers and sons, although Cai Dao has become a monk, although the relationship between the father and son over the years is like that of passers-by, no one can cut off the blood relationship between the two.
If Cai Dao still wants to maintain his influence in the Great Song Dynasty, then he must bow down to his cheap father.
In fact, it is.
Moreover, the Cai family's fleet has undoubtedly greatly accelerated this process.
Although Cai Dao did not instruct the fleet to be responsible for transporting the two masters into Beijing by sea boat. However, if these two masters took the initiative to make this request, Cai Dao himself was not there, and the people below would still have to obediently comply. What's more, under the control of the second master of the Xianyou Cai family, it can be said that he has now taken over the business of transporting people by sea. A solo business is always very profitable.
Cai Bian and Cai Jing have different itineraries, and Cai Jing is directly from Lingnan to Beijing by boat. And Cai Bian originally planned to go back to Jiangning with his wife first, pay homage to his father-in-law first, visit his second wife and brother Wang, and take his two children into Beijing by the way. Unexpectedly, when his boat had just arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he received the news that Zhao Xu urgently summoned him to Beijing.
The person who came did not say the reason why the little emperor urgently summoned him, and it seemed that he had no intention of explaining it at all.
Helpless, Cai Bian could only part ways with his wife Cai Wang at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Jiangning's affairs still need to be handled by his wife herself. However, before leaving, Cai Bian repeatedly told his wife that when she arrived in Jiangning, she must persuade her wife and brother Wang to let him immediately leave all his reserve and enter Beijing immediately.
Cai Bian actually served as a lecturer for Zhao Xu when he was a scholar in Beijing, and he was a lecturer at the age of three, and he was old at the age of seven, and he knew very well the temper and temperament of the little emperor at that time.
Although this child is still young, he naturally has a lot of shortcomings that belong to children, but Xiao Zhao Xu has already shown a very resolute character at that time, after eight years of humiliation and suppression, Cai Bian can imagine that the heart of the little emperor must be full of anger now.
At this point, all of them, the reformist officials who were demoted to Lingnan, almost all had the same mood,
conservatives
WEN Yanbo,
We're coming back.
With such a mood, Cai Bian took the official ship along the sea route where Cai Dao originally entered Beijing to Mizhou, from Hainan to Mizhou, and then to Bianliang City, it only took a month, which was unimaginable at the beginning.
There is one thing that also makes Cai Bian very proud, because the transport official ship they are riding on the sea is also from the Cai family. Although, he also knew that the shipyard in Xiaocili had little to do with Cai Dao. However, Cai Bian still had a guess in his heart, that ghost son must have ambushed inside, otherwise, it would be impossible for this child to obediently sell the golden rooster that can only lay golden eggs in his hand, even if the other party is his own clansman.
Because they did not delay halfway, Cai Jing and his party still rushed to Bianliang City first, but the two brothers were not the first ministers of the law reform faction to return to the capital.
Zhang Dun, Cai Qu's family, Lu Huiqing, and Xing Shu have all successfully entered Beijing. No matter what the other party's character is, the Cai family's fleet has always adhered to the tenet of customer first, so Lu Huiqing and Xing Shu, who have such inferior character, can return to Beijing so smoothly.
This surprised all the conservative ministers, and they had also expected Zhao Xu to recruit these people back to Beijing. However, considering that there is a buffer period of a few months between Lingnan and the capital, they also want to use this time to ease the relationship between the conservative side and the little emperor. However, the speed at which these people from the Fa Chang faction returned to Beijing was too fast.
At this time, those smart officials sighed deeply again, they still underestimated the influence of that Luo Guozi.
In their opinion, things that should be craftsmen can have such an impact on the evidence, and that alone is far beyond their imagination.
Knowing this, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu should not have demoted that Luo Guozi out of the capital.
However, although the people who changed the law and sent them into Beijing were a little mixed, when Zhao Xu summoned them, he could still tell the difference between relatives and relatives. The first to be summoned was Cai Qu's family.
Cai Qu, the soul of the Fa-changers after Wang Anshi's dismissal, presided over the reform of Yuanfeng together with Zhang Dan, and in the last years of Yuanfeng, after the death of Song Shenzong, he was still struggling to support the entire Fa-Changing faction.
Eight years of painful time finally passed, and in the end, Zhang Dian barely escaped the conservative framing of him by virtue of his three years of filial piety.
But Cai Cheng was not so lucky. The most resolute successor of Wang Anshi's reform still died in Lingnan.
As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he was actually demoted to Lingnan, which can be regarded as a very bad precedent in the Great Song Dynasty. Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu did too much this time.
A dog has his day
Now that the conservative backstage Empress Dowager Gao Tao has died, even if these reformist ministers do not make such a request, Zhao Xu plans to demote all Wen Yanbo and others to Lingnan, and also relieve the resentment that has accumulated in his heart for eight years.
The second person I met was, of course, Zhang Dian.
The third is two people, Cai Jing and Cai Bian.
Being able to rank third can be regarded as Zhao Xu's favor for them. However, this point inevitably made Cai Jing feel a little pimple in his heart.
Because, Cai Bian entered Bianliang City three days later than Cai Jing.
Whether it is an outsider or himself, he can see that Zhao Xu's appreciation of their two brothers is different.
Not to mention, Lu Huiqing and Xingshu, the two unlucky ghosts, they followed Zhang Dian closely, and the second wave entered the Bianliang City of the Reformers. Unexpectedly, although Zhao Xu recruited them all into Bianliang City, he had been hanging them like this, and he never meant to meet them in person. This made the two people who had been burning with power a little discouraged and resentful.
He resented Zhao Xu, but also resented Zhang Dian and the Cai brothers.
Meeting with the Cai brothers, Zhao Xu first exchanged a few words with them, and then talked about some political issues and their understanding of the current situation.
Now that they are in front of Zhao Xu, it is time to see the real chapter, and the two brothers have no intention of being humble at all.
The two first greatly criticized the prime ministers who were in power during the Yuanyou period, and then said their respective ideas, which were nothing more than the restoration of those new laws promulgated during the Xining and Yuanfeng years.
However, there are differences between the two brothers in this regard.
Cai Bian is naturally oriented to his father-in-law, Wang Anshi, and advocates the restoration of all the new laws promulgated by Wang Anshi.
Cai Jing is different, he knows how to judge the situation, after several years of precipitation in Lingnan, he has also carefully considered the gains and losses in Wang Anshi's reforms, and over the years, the forces he has planted in Bianliang City have also been passing through the Cai family's fleet, transmitting various news in Bianliang City to him. Therefore, Cai Jing believes that the restoration of the new law is of course a top priority.
However, this matter should not be rushed, because every new law that has been promulgated has its own advantages and disadvantages, especially some new laws, if they are not properly applied, will not only be detrimental to the people, but will harm the people.
