Chapter 43: Cai Da flickered

The two were talking, but they saw a servant leading a palace attendant in, and passed on the official's message, saying that he would immediately recruit Cai Shumi into the palace to meet him. Cai You didn't dare to hesitate, sent Huang Qianshan away, and immediately changed into court clothes, carrying a small burden in his hand. The servants and chamberlains all knew that it was Cai Shumi's outfit, which was very simple, a set of short clothes and pants, as well as the costumes used by the advocates during their performances. What is it used for? Speaking of which, it's interesting.

Although Cai You is Cai Jing's eldest son, he can become an official without doing anything. But if you want to be in a high position and hold great power, how can you do it without the emperor's favor? Civil officials can accumulate political achievements through local management and master of ceremonies, and then be reused. Military generals can conquer the east and west, resist humiliation and quell rebellion to erect prestige and defend one side. Cai Youwen can't succeed, martial arts can't be, why is he favored today? The answer lies in his line.

Today, Zi believes in Taoism and calls himself the Emperor of Taoism. Cai You did what he liked, and often talked about the Taoist divine change in the emperor's ears. The other is to wear short clothes and obscene pants in front of the official's house, mixed with the excellent dwarfs, and act in the market **** to invite pets. He was born with a dignified appearance, pretending to be a strange appearance, and the effect was wonderful, which always made the officials laugh. Is it ridiculous or pathetic that the second-in-command of the dignified Privy Council, the person who is knighted and knighted, uses this method as a method of promotion?

Cai You hurriedly entered the palace and was led to the Huiyou Pavilion by the chamberlain, which was built in the second year of Daguan and collected the imperial collection of Emperor Zhezong, why did the official family summon him here? When he entered the pavilion, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his youngest brother Cai Qian was also there. The official stood in front of the bookshelf, holding a scroll in both hands and carrying it behind his back, looking up thoughtfully. This surprise is not trivial, the official family summoned his two brothers at the same time in the Huiyou Pavilion where the imperial collection of the first emperor was stored, what was the situation?

"Minister Cai You......" has just started, and he looks the same as when he was summoned in the Douqi Pavilion last time.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm tired of listening!" Listening to this tone, the official family is not small. glanced at his younger brother, and saw that he couldn't hide the smug look on his face, and his teeth itched with hatred, so he had to bow down to the ground, and said in a wailing voice, "The minister is dead!" The minister is guilty! ”

The emperor didn't look back, and said angrily: "Guilty? Tell me what your sins are! ”

Cai You was stunned, I was just polite, how can you take it seriously? Fortunately, he knew the temper of the official family, and said with a pause: "No matter what the reason, it is the incompetence of our subordinates to make Your Majesty angry." If we, as courtiers, can share the worries of our father, instead of annoying Your Majesty with trivial things from time to time, Your Majesty can cultivate with peace of mind and not be so sad. Is this not our sin as courtiers? ”

At first glance, this seems to be blaming himself, but in fact, he is pointing the finger at his younger brother. It's okay for you to eat all day long, and you slander me in front of Your Majesty, do you think that the official family will be happy in this way? Do you know what our son likes the most? Favorite is fine! I like the world the most! Otherwise, Taishi Tong dared to risk the world's disapproval and say that the Youyun Sky City, which had been redeemed with a lot of money, was recovered? Or do you want to be crowned king as a eunuch? Are we foodies? Pinching him with such a big handle and not going to join him? Hmph, you kid, you're a little tender!

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he hummed: "If you have the heart to worry about the king, why is the front line defeated?" Why did Hebei and Shandong rise together with thieves? ”

Cai You sighed secretly, he was a little annoyed, how long would this matter have to be talked about? In desperation, I had to move out again, we are the second in the Privy Council, and there is the boss above, we can't talk about it. As for Hebei and Shandong, aren't they working on it? Didn't the Xiangyong battalion formed just win the battle and exterminate thousands of thieves who deserved to die and suffer from the plague?

Hearing this, Zhao Ji's anger decreased slightly, put the book in his hand back on the shelf, churned again, and asked at the same time: "A few days ago, you said that the Yongying camp of the Daimyo Mansion Township had all cleared out the thieves in the territory and exterminated five or six thousand people, is this really true?" ”

No matter how Cai You asked the official last time, he didn't mention the word "Xu Wei", just because we, the son of heaven, have a habit of employing people based on impressions. At this time, he still didn't mention it, and he couldn't remember the mention of the official, so he replied: "It is absolutely true, after the formation of the Yong Battalion in the township, without a day of training, the commander made the country eager to serve the country, and immediately started to fight, and with very small losses, all the thieves in the territory were annihilated. Today's Daimyo Mansion Road, it really doesn't close at night......"

"But how did I hear that you lied about your achievements? He also said that the strength of the Yong battalion of the Daimyo Mansion and Township was only a few hundred, so why did he wipe out five or six thousand thieves? Zhao Ji was angry again at this time.

Cai You stared at his younger brother resentfully, and said stubbornly: "The officers and soldiers of the Yong Battalion in that township, thank you for the emperor's grace, everyone serves to die, and one is worth ten, and the thieves are just a rabble, and they will collapse at the first touch, so they have won a complete victory." ”

Zhao Ji listened, and didn't respond for a while, Cai You knew that the official family must have listened a little, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when the younger brother who had been hit by a thousand knives came out, bowed to the official family and said: "Your Majesty, the Yongying camp in that township is so good at fighting, there are good people in Shandong, and there are more than 10,000 thieves, wandering between Qi and Yan. The Daimyo Xiangyong can block ten with one, so why not send it nearby to help Shandong fight? It also saves the court the cost of breaking the cost. ”

When the Daojun Emperor heard this, he was exactly what he wanted, and it was not troublesome to use Xiangyong, let alone money, and it saved a lot of trouble. Then he asked Cai You, who was still kneeling on the ground, "What do you think?" ”

Cai You slapped himself in the mouth, not to mention that the famous township bravely annihilated five or six thousand thieves, and it was not a problem to block ten. Now there are more than 10,000 thieves in Shandong, and your famous Xiangyong can kill half of him, how can you excuse yourself? immediately stiffened his scalp and hardened it again: "The minister has no objection." ”

Zhao Ji's heart was relieved for a while, and he ordered Cai Yu to calm down, and said in a slightly slower tone: "I dreamed that the white tiger appeared in the north last night, looking up to the sky and roaring, its momentum is terrifying, what is the sign?" ”

When Cai You heard this, his brain teaser turned, the white tiger is a fierce beast, the soldier's favorite, and it appears in the north, what is this...... With an idea, he bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the white tiger has appeared, this is to show that Your Majesty will get a tiger and a wolf!" ”

"Oh? So why the north? Zhao Ji wondered.

"Your Majesty is driving Tokyo, and the White Tiger is now in the north, indicating that this will definitely come out of the north." Cai You continued to flicker.

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and the depression that filled his chest was swept away. The two brothers of the Cai family looked at a cloud and mountain fog cover, is it so funny? What are the officials laughing at?

"I have tasted it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, if you talk about studying the Tao and understanding the mysteries, no one is better than Ju'an, and this is not the case."

Cai You, the word is safe, when he heard this, he finally put his mind at ease, stabilized himself, and this level was over. When he was rejoicing, he heard the official's words again: "You said that Zhao Zhao will get a tiger and wolf general in the north, who is not Guo Yaoshi?" ”

Cai You was stunned for a long time, what? Pharmacist Guo? It's all about the! I'm referring to Xu Wei!
