Chapter 012: Beating the Reservoir Dogs

"Doll, then you say, how should I judge the Wutai poetry case?"

"Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed by the grass people!" Grunt...... Gollum, Cai Dao's stomach made a thunderous sound, as soon as he was taken out of the bed in the morning, he has always been used to eating breakfast, plus he usually exercises a lot, now it's about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, can he not be hungry?

Just now, his spirit has been in a state of tension, so he doesn't feel anything. Now that the crisis has been lifted, a huge pang of hunger has hit. Cai Dao was not ashamed, but proud, touched his little belly with his little hand, and said with a shy face: "Your Majesty, the grass people got up at the time of the day, and they didn't eat a meal, so they were too hungry." Can you give the grass people a bite to eat first? ”

Song Shenzong was so made by this child that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: This doll is really not outside, and he really regards this Qinzheng Palace as his own home. motioned to the little eunuch below and brought Cai Dao the dim sum he had placed before the collapse of the dragon.

"Yes, it's a pity it's a little cold!" Cai Dao was not polite at all, reached out and picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth to taste it, and while eating, he kept muttering in his mouth.

Don't look at the small people, Cai Dao is not slow to eat at all, and he will wipe out all the snacks on the plate in three or two clicks.

"Eat well! Delicious, isn't it? Cai Dao's side suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hiccup, that's half full! The dim sum tastes pretty good! As soon as people eat, they will naturally relax their vigilance, and Cai Dao didn't notice who was talking to him, so he replied nonchalantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he came back to his senses, turned sideways suddenly, and saw the future emperor Zhao Fu standing beside him angrily, and hurriedly sang a small promise respectfully: "Your Highness!" Hello! ”

"Doll, if you don't say it, I will cure you for the crime of dereliction in front of the king." Song Shenzong saw that Cai Dao finished eating, and he didn't mean to let him go at all.

"Your Majesty, I'm just a child. The matter of the five-way war in the summer has just happened, and the people in the capital know a lot. And the Wutai poetry case happened two years ago, when I had just walked, and I couldn't say everything, how could I ...... Why don't you punish me for that crime? Cai Dao saw that he was cheating and didn't say anything about moving the official family, so he simply pleaded guilty and confessed, "Your Majesty, what is the specific punishment for that crime?" ”

"Boy, it's not a crime, it's a crime of dereliction in front of the king. This crime can be big or small, and if it is as serious as you, it must be immediately launched and beheaded. "Zhao Maid is generally counting Cai Dao.

Of course, Cai Dao knew that Zhao Maid was scaring himself, and since he had started, he didn't intend to end it like this, so he saluted Song Shenzong and said, "Your Majesty, this is what you asked me to say, no matter what you say is right or wrong, you can't cure me!" ”

"Good! I promise you! ”

"Your Majesty, everyone in the former dynasty Ouyang once wrote a "Theory of Friends", a gentleman has no party, and a villain has a party. But who is a gentleman and who is a villain? This question is the key. Not to mention Your Majesty, even Sage Kong himself can't observe clearly for a while, judging people by words, and judging people by appearance. In fact, in the Wutai poetry case, your judgment is generally not wrong. It was the imperial histories who tried the case that were wrong, and they focused on the wrong place from the beginning......"

"Ignorant Xiaoer, you ......" He Zhengzhi and several parties couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up to refute it.

"Your Majesty, there was once an elder who told the kid to see if a person is cultivated. It depends on whether the person can accommodate different opinions, no matter whether what the other party says is right or wrong, then the other party must finish what he says before he can refute it. What's more, interrupted several times and didn't even let him finish speaking, this person's tutor can be seen. Generally only folk shrews do this. Cai Dao said this to Song Shenzong while despising these guys.

"Yes, this doll is right. Even if you guys are reasonable, do you have to let him finish talking? A few of you look at it, do you still have a little bit of a minister's appearance? "Old man Sun Jue has always been unaccustomed to that fortunate Li Ding, and stood up to defend Cai Dao.

"Hmmm! I also think this doll is right. Ministers, in the future, if there is a minister who makes a speech, and the words are not finished, others are not allowed to interject. This became the law thereafter. "Since the reform of the law, the reformers and conservatives have quarreled like a vegetable market, and they have not taken themselves as a genius in their eyes at all.

"The ministers obey." Others don't really care, and it's not better to let yourself finish talking.

Seeing that those people were no longer making a fuss, Cai Dao continued: "Su Dabeard opposes the change of the law, not for the sake of opposition like some people, he has discovered some drawbacks of the new law in the local area, presumably he has also played to Your Majesty." Perhaps, Your Majesty, you didn't pay attention to it at the time, so Su Dabeard should combine the actual feedback on the new law from all over the country, record the detailed results of the investigation, and continue to make suggestions to you. If Su Dabeard did this, he would be a blunt admonition. However, he didn't do this, but wrote poems and lyrics to complain everywhere, saying that a light point is a slander, and that the point is to form a party. Because most of those who sang peace with him were ministers who opposed the change of the law! ”

Sizzle, the ministers of the Qinzheng Palace were stunned, they originally thought that Cai Dao was a doll, and they couldn't say anything big, at most it was a village slang nursery rhyme or something. But who knows, this doll is indeed right, if you Su Dabeard keeps harassing Song Shenzong, no matter how many things you write, it will not hurt, if the official family punishes the crime, it will bring him great prestige. On the contrary, the complaining poems he wrote were addressed to his friends, and they were all opponents of the reform, which was easily reminiscent of the formation of a party.

Awesome! This interpretation not only prevents others from indiscriminately interpreting other people's works, but also convicts Su Shi and his friends.

Song Shenzong pondered for a full two quarters of an hour, then raised his head and looked at those ministers, He Zhengchen and the three of them were so ashamed that they hid in the imperial history and did not dare to show their heads, they themselves knew that in the Wutai poetry case, it was very undesirable to criticize other people's poems at will, and to revolt out of context, the point of saying it was to cut off the foundation of their literati!

"Doll, since you said that Su Shi's group of people were guilty in the Wutai poetry case, then why did you say that my verdict was generally not wrong, didn't you say that my verdict was unfair?" Song Shenzong was very satisfied with Cai Dao's explanation, the Great Song Kingdom had always treated literati preferentially, and if it weren't for the smooth progress of the law change, he would not have been so harsh in the Wutai poetry case.

"That's true. Otherwise, the grass people would not have said that Your Majesty, you are a faint king. In the Wutai poetry case, the Su brothers, one deserved the crime, and the other pleaded guilty on behalf of the brother, Your Majesty, you have a correct judgment. However, the king was not only implicated in the case, but also heard that he was angry with the princess and her son. Like Gao Zunyu, you only demoted him to Jinghu West Road, while Wang Gong, the grandson of the prime minister, was demoted to Pennsylvania. Do you say that's fair? It's not because Wang Gong is not your relative. ”

"Your Majesty, I won't talk about Brother Su. Didn't that king love to marry women? You relegated him to Qiongzhou, I heard that there are more barbarians there than the Song people, and he is so dashing, maybe he can give me the Song people. It's a pity that you can't send him to Dali! I heard that there is a Manchu in Dali, and women there are only allowed their husbands to marry one wife. As for Lord Wang Gong, Your Majesty, if you really don't want to transfer him back to the north, it would be good for Lord Wang to be an advisor to our Xinghua Army. The more Cai Dao spoke, the more excited he became, and he got a little carried away, and actually began to arrange ministers on behalf of the officials.

Ha...... Ha, as soon as he heard that Cai Dao actually arranged the horse Wang Shu like this, the generals all laughed, and Xiao Zhao was even more exaggerated, forgetting Cai Dao, who was still holding a grudge just now, and said to his father: "Father, you might as well immediately send someone to ask the envoys of Dali to ask about the situation, if it is really as this kid said, then send the one surnamed Wang to Dali." ”

Princess Bao'an is the sister of Song Shenzong, she is gentle and virtuous, she was very good to Xiao Zhao during her lifetime, and Xiao Zhao also likes Princess Bao'an very much, so he hates Wang Xu very much.

"Nonsense, the maid and step aside, for the father to have his own opinions." Song Shenzong did not blame the generals, although he said so in his mouth, he agreed with his son's statement in his heart. Unexpectedly, he didn't blame Cai Dao, but asked him: "Oh, doll, I remember that the Xinghua Army has not yet completed its term, so how can I transfer Wang Gong over?" ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that in the past two years, the Xinghua Army has made remarkable achievements under the rule of the Zhijun, and it must be in sight that he will be promoted. If the Zhijun is gone, our Xinghua Army will have one less good officer. Since you hate Wang Gong so much, send him to the Xinghua Army, which is also poor and bad anyway. ”

Song Shenzong then remembered that it was indeed like what this doll said, but most of the credit belonged to Cai Dao, and in the final analysis, it was the Zhijun who was stained with this kid's light.

"Doll, am I still not a faint king?" At this time, Song Shenzong was no longer angry, and his depression for many days was swept away, and he looked at Cai Dao with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you actually attach so much importance to the opinion of a child who is less than six years old, which shows that you are very good at accepting advice, of course you are not a faint king! Those are all rumors that the grass people have heard, hehe...... Hey, I heard. I heard that at the beginning, when Su Xiaobeard was admitted to the Jinshi, it was not also hearsay that Emperor Renzong was a comatose monarch who had thousands of beauties in the palace, singing, dancing and drinking all day long, and was drunk and drunk. As a result, didn't he finally pass the Jinshi in that subject? Cai Dao is very clear about these two stories of Song Renzong, and he will use them on himself whenever he has the opportunity.

"However, Your Majesty, say in advance that the money you gave to the grass people, the grass people laughed and accepted it, and the official position of Shirou was still forgotten. As for the companion reading, it is even more not. "Complete the task, it's done, but unfortunately there is no beauty by his side, Cai Daocai doesn't want to be an official now, let alone be that Lao Shizi's companion.

"Why is that?" Song Shenzong wondered, this kid is really strange, after saying so much, he is still the same as before, as long as he has money, he doesn't want officials? Being an official does not take money the same, even if Jiang Shilang is the lowest-ranking civil official, the salary of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is still very generous.
