Press Cai Dao to complain about the system and don't say.

After finishing his errand in the pro-military camp and saying goodbye to his subordinates, Dean rode back to Di's mansion as quickly as possible.

Di Mansion is relatively close to the imperial city, which is the mansion given to Di Qing by the Four Emperors Renzong himself. After Di Qing's death, his four sons lived here. Di'an's father, Di Zhen, has long since passed away, but the entire Di family has not lived separately.

After changing his clothes, Dean was just about to rest, but he didn't want anyone to invite him. It turned out that his second uncle Di Yong had already returned to the house, and as soon as he heard that he was back, he immediately asked his subordinates to invite him.

Rushing to the second uncle's study, Dean hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Uncle, you're back!" ”

"Hmmm! It's been a hard journey along the way, so let's sit down and talk. But how did you come back so quickly, and it went smoothly, right? Di Yong nodded, stood up and patted Dian's shoulders with both hands, pressed him to the pier next to him, and asked with concern.

"It's going well!"

Dean replied cautiously, and at the same time felt a little strange in his heart, why didn't the second uncle ask about the child's situation, after all, didn't he run three thousand miles this time just to pick up the child back to Beijing?

"We're going straight to Michigan by sea! During the voyage, he encountered a pirate, but the Cai family's fleet was protected by warships, but nothing else, and after that, it was even more smooth sailing. That's why I was able to go back to Beijing early. Uncle, that kid is even more powerful than rumored, and he brought it up first to return to Beijing by sea ship this time......" As soon as Cai Dao was mentioned, Dean wanted to tell his second uncle all the words in his heart.

However, Di Yong didn't plan to listen anymore, and he waved his hand to interrupt Dian.

"Oh, I see. An'er, are you wondering why I didn't ask you about that child's situation. Di Yong stood up, walked to the door of the study, looked around the door, and then closed the door of the study.

"An'er doesn't dare!" As soon as Dean saw such a performance, he knew that the second uncle was going to tell him something very important.

"The rest of the words, just listen to them and keep them in your heart. But don't spread the word. Do you understand? Di Yong sat down again and said solemnly.

"No!" Seeing that the second uncle's expression was so serious, this was the first time Di had seen it, so he hurriedly got up and sang a fat song.

Di Yong stroked the three-foot long hair under his chin, paused, and said in a low voice: "Recently, Your Majesty has been sick!" Illness, although it is not a serious illness, it is very likely that he will not be able to take care of this child. You know how to do it, right? ”

"Sizzle......" Dean gasped, this matter is indeed not trivial, after thinking about it, he replied: "Second uncle, I understand." ”

Song Shenzong's age is not very old, only in his thirties, but the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the two emperors who founded the country, the other emperors did not live long, even the emperor Renzong, who had been for forty-one years, only lived 51 years old.

"Mark what I say! Then go down and rest. ”

Seeing his nephew go, Di Yong was very melancholy, Song Shenzong admired Song Renzong very much, so even if Di Qing had passed away, he was still very kind to the Di family, but once Song Shenzong went and the new emperor ascended the throne, I don't know if the Di family would be trusted. "Alas, no matter how hard we try, in the final analysis, our Di family is just a military minister."

Therefore, in the future, no matter how the situation develops, the Di family has to stand on the side of the royal family impartially and have as little contact as possible with those civil servants in the court.

……

Di Yong regarded this matter as a secret, but what he didn't expect was that this secret had already been learned by the bigwigs in the entire Bianliang City before him.

The prime minister of the world is either Han or Lu.

Lu Fu, the four sons of Xu Guogong Lu Yijian, the eldest brother and the second brother have passed away, the fourth Lu Gongyu is serving as an official in the field at this time, and only the third Lu Gong is in Beijing, and he is currently the deputy privy envoy.

At this time, in the study, in the dim light, he was secretly discussing with his two sons, Lu Xizhe and Lu Xichun.

The second son, Lu Xichun, pointed to the ceiling and asked eagerly, "Father, since you are sick, will that matter be put on hold for the time being?" ”

"Not necessarily, maybe it's because I'm sick that I will hurry up and do it!" The eldest son, Lu Xizhe, retorted.

"You guys? That's all I can think of! Lu Gongzhu looked at his two eldest sons and shook his head.

The second son has good talents, but he can do things roughly; And the eldest son acted steadily, but he was not a piece of material for studying, otherwise Wang Anshi would not have persuaded him to give up the imperial examination.

"Whatever the case may be, it's going to be imperative. At this moment, what is the most important thing, don't you know? Lu Gongzhu sighed and said, "By the way, Zijin, how are the children at home preparing for their homework?" ”

"It's all right!" Lu Xichun's own son is not good at studying, so his attitude towards this matter has always been very perfunctory.

"Humph! Zijin, you don't have to worry about that matter in the future, I will be responsible for it personally, old man! Zijin, you immediately go and arrange to gather all the school-age children in the house, and the old man will assess it now. Lu Gongzhu looked at this son and was a little angry. If it's all right, go down! ”

This opportunity is definitely not to be missed.

The children of the Lu family must be selected.

For the future of the entire Lu family, whether it is his grandson or not, and no matter how much it costs, in short, he must succeed.

"By the way, Dad, I just got the news that the little Anzi of the Di family rushed back from Fujian Road, and I heard that he also brought Cai Bian's Luo Guo son back."

Just when Lu Gongzhu secretly made a decision, before going out, Lu Xizhe suddenly remembered something, and he felt that there was some connection between this matter and that incident, so he said it.

"Oh! Is it Dean asked by Cai Bian, how did the two of them get connected? Lu Gongzhu also felt that this news might have something to do with that incident, so he asked.

"I don't know this, I'll send someone to find out now!" At that time, he thought it was a trivial matter, so he didn't take it to heart, but Lu Xizhe heard the worry in his father's words, so he wanted to make up for his mistake immediately.

"No need, the Di family is just a military minister in the final analysis, and the Cai family is now a backer, and it is even more unsuccessful, so you don't need to pay attention to this matter anymore. Now, you still have to go and find out more about those families. Lu Gongshu just said that, and did not take the Cai family and the Di family to heart.

Lu Gongzhu looked at his eldest son, whose temples were a little pale, and his heart was also a little bitter, so he said: "Remember, no matter what news you get in the future, you must understand the situation as clearly as possible, so that you can accurately find a way to deal with it." Got it! ”

"No! The child made a note of it, and thanked his father for his guidance. Lu Xizhe bowed deeply and replied seriously.

"Go ahead!"

After all, the number of places in that incident is limited, and someone from the Fan family will definitely be selected.

Fortunately, the eldest son of the Wang family died young, and he went without leaving any children, and the second son is even more unsuccessful, his son-in-law Cai Bian is not bad, but I heard that Lao Wang's two grandsons, one does not like to read, and the other is this Luo Guo. It doesn't pose any threat, and it must not be selected at all.

……

At the same time, the two Han families, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and other important ministers in Beijing were secretly discussing with their relatives, cronies, and staff members at home, and everyone was also preparing for that incident.

And that thing is actually to find some companions for Zhao Maid.

The companion has no right or position, and does not receive half a salary.

However, no one dares to underestimate it.

There is no small matter in the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Maid, as the oldest son of Song Shenzong who is still alive, is undoubtedly the best choice for the next emperor.

If he can be chosen as his companion, in the future, he will be a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The matter is still brewing, Song Shenzong has not announced it in public, and there are not many people who know about it, otherwise those Beijing officials above the fifth grade would not have broken their heads for this.

However, according to rumors, Shi Deyi, the great eunuch who was in charge of the Imperial City Division, had already handed over the list to the emperor

……

In the palace, it is still the Wende Palace, recently, it has been exhorted by the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Xiang, and it hurts to say that his head hurts, so Song Shenzong simply hid here, did not approve the chapter, held an idle book in his hand, and kept looking at it, he didn't want to see anyone now, and he didn't want to hear anything.

As the chief official of the Imperial City Division, Shi Deyi naturally learned the news that Cai Dao and his party had entered Beijing, but now he had just suffered heavy losses because of the five-way expedition, and Song Shenzong was sick because of this incident.

It's just that because of the face of himself and the Queen Mother, Song Shenzong only demoted the culprit Gao Zunyu far away to Yingzhou, which is also Zhongxiang of Jinghu Province in later generations. Wang Gong, the grandson of the prime minister of the former dynasty, was implicated in the Wutai poetry case and was demoted to Penzhou, Guangxi by Song Shenzong.

In this matter, if it is replaced by other generals, it will definitely be killed. The official family is obviously still angry at this time, so if it is not necessary, no one in the palace dares to say a word now.

"Stone gets one, stone gets one!" Song Shenzong was probably a little tired of reading the book, so he threw the book in his hand aside and shouted.

As soon as he was gone, the emperor shouted to him twice, Shi Deyi was so frightened that he rushed to Song Shenzong, and quickly knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid lost their minds for a while, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Get up! Why, what do you think so distractedly, are you a slave who is busier than me? Song Shenzong couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he saw Shi Deyi's funny appearance.

"This ......! Your Majesty, Dean has returned to Beijing, but I heard that the child did not return to Cai's mansion, but stayed in an inn. After a little hesitation, in order to divert Song Shenzong's attention, Shi Deyi told Cai Dao about it, presumably the matter of that kid could slightly alleviate the depression in the hearts of the officials.
