"Oops! Master Zeng, this is too bad, Cai's Academy has caused a few big troubles at once! Cai Dao sighed and told Zeng Gong the details.

"Alas! Sure enough, it still came, so what are you going to do? The arrival of the other two children was indeed unexpected by Zeng Gong, but Cai did send his grandson here, but it was expected.

Cai Qu is indeed a member of the Fa-changing faction, and he also respects Wang Anshi very much. Compared with Lu Huiqing, he is still a good person, but he is only relative to Lu Huiqing. He is also quite fond of playing power, and looking at Wang Jue, the three-purpose prime minister, he wants to monopolize power.

It's a pity that at this time, Song Shenzong has long since lost the same heart for Wang Anshi as he did in the past for these ministers of the Fa-changing faction, and the rest is only the use of Chiguoguo. Therefore, Song Shenzong naturally did not let Cai Qu be the prime minister, and always pushed Wang Qi, who was at least cowardly on the surface, to the position of prime minister, just to balance the growing power and desire to change the law.

The people in the game, such as Cai Qu, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian, have always been unable to see through this, and even Sima Guang has always been in the game.

And Cai Dao, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong have long seen through the temperament of the current emperor. Cai Jing may also have seen through this, so because of Cai Bian's relationship, he is also classified as a law-changer. However, with his ingenuity, he has always been not so dazzling among the Fa-changing factions, and once Song Shenzong passed away, he immediately changed his course and immediately threw himself into the camp of the conservatives, becoming a pawn to destroy the new Fa, or a substitute for the dead.

So

That's why Cai Dao lost all his official positions;

This is why Wang Anshi has the second resignation, not only because of the early death of his beloved son;

This is why Zeng Gong has never pursued a higher official position. Lu Gong's slander did affect Zeng Gong's future in the first half of his life, but how could he affect Zeng Gong's career in the second half of his life when others have been dead for a long time? The main reason is that Zeng Gong has seen through everything and is unwilling to pursue those things anymore.

"Master Zeng, Poor Dao knows that these three children can't be pushed away no matter what. Poor Dao just wants to ask you for one thing, if, Poor Dao said that if, one day, Poor Dao is demoted out of the capital, Cai's School can be opened, if it can't be opened, you will close it, as long as these children are settled. In the south outside the city of Bianliang City, Poor Road has purchased a lot of fields, and academies are also being built there. If that happens, you will reopen a new academy in your name. ”

"Alas! If it weren't for the fact that these children were too young, Poor Dao wouldn't have bothered Master Zeng so much! Finally finished what he wanted to say, Cai Dao sighed again.

When Zeng Gong heard this, his brows tightened, and he asked hesitantly: "The world won't get so bad, right?" However, the old man is really pleased that you can make such an arrangement. It's a pity, you are not my grandson, the Cai family is really a genius. This incident shows that you really have to think about those children! The old man promised you. ”

"Master Zeng, the actual situation is probably worse than I imagined. However, these are just personal speculations. Not necessarily accurate. Regarding this question, Cai Dao stopped at the point, and didn't want to talk about it deeply, because he knew that Song Shenzong's life was going to be short, and then he said like Zeng Gong: "Master Zeng, poor Dao will resign to you, please confess to the old lady, and now you have to take over the three big troubles." ”

"Hmmm! Our Zeng family will watch this academy for you. Zeng Gong saw that Cai Dao's attitude was so resolute, so he just agreed, and didn't say anything more.

"Don't!" When Cai Dao heard this, he hurriedly refused, but as soon as the words came out, he didn't know how to continue.

Zeng Gong's father married three wives, and his generation had a total of six brothers and three sisters. Zeng Gong is the eldest in the family, Zeng Mu and Zeng Zai are his half-brothers, and now he supports his great-mother is his father's third wife Zhu, and has three sons, the fourth son Zeng Ye died on the way back after falling off the list, and the other five sons were all Jinshi.

Zeng Gong, Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu were famous ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zeng Gong's half-brothers Zeng Mu and Zeng Zai were also Jinshi, but they have always been unknown. Cai Dao originally planned to take advantage of Zeng Gong's strong body and plan to entrust the school to him temporarily. Unexpectedly, Zeng Gong himself had no confidence in his body, and listened to him, and if his body was ill in the future, he would entrust it to his brother.

"What? Boy, do you know some of the old man's younger brothers? Zeng Gong heard Cai Dao's sudden refusal, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.

"Poor Dao is only a few years old, so naturally he doesn't recognize Zengshi's younger brothers, but ,...... But ,......"

"Child, the old body knows that you are so witty, but you have never said a word, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Just when Cai Dao was entangled, Zeng's mother suddenly came out and said.

"This ......" Cai Dao glanced at Zeng Gong, and saw that he was also looking at him with encouraging eyes, he encouraged himself in his heart, and said bluntly: "Old man, I know that Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu are your biological sons, but in my master's prophecy, Zeng Zhao is an upright person, and his official position is not obvious all his life, and he will always go around the local and central government. And Lord Zengbu, he ...... He may be a good official in the local area, but if he becomes a court official, or even a Zaifu, he will definitely be a traitor in troubled times. ”

"You're ......!" Although he was not born to a mother, Zeng Gong has always loved his younger brothers, after all, they are very different in age, Zeng Gong, as the eldest son, has been taking care of several half-brothers like a father. Especially since Zeng Ye died of illness on the way back, the guilt in his heart has become stronger and stronger.

Knowing his son is more than his father, in fact, how can his biological mother not know the temperament of his biological son?

Zeng's mother stopped Zeng Gong with words, and said lightly: "Gong'er, don't be unreasonable. Although this kid doesn't like what he says, what is wrong about Zhao'er and Bu'er's temperament? ”

Yes! Zeng Gong naturally also understands the personality of his two half-brothers, Zeng Zhao is upright and outspoken, and Zeng Bu is more wise, he is a capable leader in the Fa Reform School, and a wise person will inevitably judge the situation and may really become a traitor in troubled times.

"Just let one of Mu'er or Zai'er come and help you! Anyway, these two children, like you, don't want to be officials, it's better to be a teacher, teach more excellent children, and not waste their knowledge. Great-Mother was obviously not angry because of Cai Dao's words, but Cai Dao knew from her expression that his words still made the wise old woman a little more worried.

"No! Mother. Zeng Gong stood up and respectfully agreed.

……

With the three children entering the Cai Academy, the matter finally came to an end.

Among the three of them, the most noisy is Cao Hu's sister Cao Xiu'er, although the words are different, but the name is the same sound, so as soon as Cao Xiu'er entered here, she had a lot of trouble with Tian Xiu'er. Cai Dao had no choice but to be argued, and wanted to use capital punishment several times - a small black house to punish the two of them, but in the end it was over. On the one hand, the two of them are girls after all, and if these two little ancestors are scared out of any mental illness, their families may rely on themselves.

really arrived at that step of the field, Cai Dao could be regarded as a cocoon.

This is not Cai Dao's biggest headache, the arrival of Cai Zhao and Cai Di, the real nightmare of Cai's Cai's Academy. Although they are young, they are very humble.

Especially Cai Zhao, who is only four years old this year, is unusually mature.

Considering that Cai Zhao is likely to be displaced with his grandfather in less than two or three years, Cai Dao behaved very harshly towards Cai Zhao as soon as they met.

Anyway, this child has never lacked food and clothing since he was a child, and although he is young, his physical foundation must be good.

Therefore, since Cai Zhao entered the school, Cai Dao stared at the child as soon as he had free time, asked him to step up his exercise, and privately taught the child some key points of life in Lingnan.
