No. 418 Two stories and a shocking word
And Zeng Zhao is unwilling and does not want Cai Dao to be involved in this unwarranted right and wrong.
Because he is the only person in the world who knows how to rescue Cai Dao from prison.
Lu Huiqing, Xing Shu and Yang Wei also thought of it, and for the three of them, face was not as real and attractive as the official position. Giving up this opportunity to speak first was entirely because the three of them had already developed jealousy of Cai Dao in their hearts, so they didn't say what they thought.
"Hmm!" When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be lucky, but in the end, he compromised, with a helpless expression on his face, and waved his hand at Liang Shicheng. I didn't even bother to speak.
But Liang Shicheng naturally understood what Zhao Xu meant, and he immediately trotted out of the palace, asking his subordinates to immediately go to the prison of the Imperial City Division and bring Cai Dao out.
The Imperial City Division has always been subordinate to the eunuchs in the palace, and its prison is naturally not far from the palace. Therefore, Cai Dao soon came to the Qinzheng Hall again under the leadership of Liang Shicheng.
Along the way, Liang Shicheng didn't say a word to Cai Dao, Cai Dao couldn't talk to this future traitor, and Liang Shicheng was really scared, he didn't dare to speak in front of Cai Dao.
After entering the main hall, Cai Dao first glanced at the people in the hall, to be honest, he was familiar with the names of the ministers in the palace now, but he didn't know much when he really met. For example, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and so on, have not really met each other.
Walking a few steps in the direction of the imperial collapse, Cai Dao still did not kneel to Zhao Xu. Instead, he asked casually: "Your Majesty, have you gone to see the situation of the Yellow River embankment today?" ”
The fact that he did not kneel would of course make Zhao Xu dissatisfied, but considering Cai Dao's identity as a monk, he did not reprimand. Fortunately, this time, Cai Dao was not as presumptuous as Xiang when he first met Zhao Xu in his title to Zhao Xu.
"Naturally, I went to see it. Daochang Cai, do you have any good ideas? Zhao Xu was no longer polite to Cai Dao, and asked from the door.
After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Cai Dao was a little confused, and said in his heart: Are the two of us talking about the same problem? After thinking about it, he didn't answer Zhao Xu's question directly, but continued to ask, "Your Majesty, where did you go to see the Yellow River embankment today?" ”
As soon as they heard Cai Dao ask this question, the ministers next to them were moved in their hearts, and they secretly wondered in their hearts: Could it be that there are still problems in the Yellow River dam that they haven't seen or thought of?
Thinking of this, everyone else was thinking hard, but Yang Wei looked at Cai Dao, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart, and his eyes were dripping and turning in his sockets a few times. was about to divert the topic, so he said, "Daochang Cai, is Your Majesty asking you a question now?" Don't you kid talk about him? ”
"Who is this one?" Cai Dao looked at the passable-looking minister in front of him with some suspicion, looking at his dress, how he was dressed exactly the same as when Cai Jing was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion.
"This is Lord Yin Yang Weiyang of Kaifeng Mansion." At this time, a character like Liang Shicheng is needed to solve Cai Dao's doubts.
"Oh! I see! Fortunately, you are not one of those 'foreign adults' in the future! Sure enough, the person in front of him is Yang Wei, who dares to be the prime minister of the dynasty and doesn't know how many family slaves he is, can actually become such a vital official position as Kaifeng Mansion Yin, it seems that he still betrayed the backer behind him again, Lu Dafang, and this time, he is very likely to take refuge in the ultimate boss of the Great Song Dynasty - the emperor.
But this time, the source of Cai Dao's initiative to cause trouble was not the turbulent Yellow River at all, but the extremely good at drilling camps, conceited and wise Yang Wei in front of him, and the newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Yin.
If others asked him like this, Cai Dao would still give the other party a face, but Yang Wei took the initiative to speak, but he didn't pay attention to the other party at all.
At his own pace, he then asked: "Let Poor Dao guess, Your Majesty put Poor Dao in prison, you must immediately realize the deep meaning of Poor Dao's words, and prepare to immediately inspect the Yellow River embankment." However, as soon as you ascend to the throne, you will venture out of the city, and your ministers will surely discourage you. At this time, it must be the idea of this Yang Kaifeng, Your Majesty, you don't have to go out of the city, you can see the whole picture of the Yellow River embankment by standing on the wall of the outer city. Yes and no? ”
Zhao Xu was naturally dissatisfied with Cai Dao's non-answering questions, and after listening to Cai Dao's nonsense with anger, he glanced at Cai Dao with some surprise, and then glared at Liang Shicheng who was standing next to him.
At this time, Liang Shicheng naturally sensed Zhao Xu's suspicion of him, and had the heart to explain it, but when the words came to his mouth, he shrank back. Just now, Zhao Xu just glared at him, and he was not held accountable. But if he really had to explain it, wouldn't it be three hundred taels of silver here?
"Your Majesty, this time, you have wronged Father-in-law Liang a little! He was a man who was greedy for money, and his city was deep, and he was much more treacherous than before. But when he led Poor Dao into the palace just now, he didn't say a word to Poor Dao! Fortunately, Cai Dao actually took the initiative to relieve Liang Shicheng, but after Liang Shicheng heard this, why did he feel more uncomfortable the more he listened?
This Luo pot with sores on the soles of his feet and pus on the top of his head, you might as well not explain?
It's really bad.
It was in vain that I went to contact Uncle Cao Guo to save you just now.
Cai Dao paused deliberately, and then continued: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao is here to give you a little story from the previous dynasty. In other words, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong ......"
As soon as Cai Daogang said the five words that were like taboos, everyone was shocked, how could the matter of the Yellow River embankment be involved in that person's body again, Cai Bian couldn't help it anymore, he had been scared at home for a long time today. After the news that Cai Dao was imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial City Division, he was afraid that the little emperor would be angry for a while, and it was not enough to kill this rebel, maybe it would also affect his father.
Therefore, Cai Bian immediately stood up, interrupted Cai Dao's words, and scolded angrily: "Rebel, are you enough?" Hurry up and answer His Majesty's questions, and don't ramble and talk nonsense. ”
Cai Dao glanced at his cheap father a little speechlessly, although eight years have passed, and Cai Bian has traveled to Hainan again, but the white-faced scholar's face has not changed much. Unlike his uncle, the only change is that his father has gained some weight.
As soon as he was about to speak, he listened to Zhao Xu's persuasion: "Cai Aiqing doesn't need to be angry, Cai Daochang has already become a monk and entered the Tao, and he is under your control." Don't think about it. Daochang Cai, you go on to say that I am really interested. In other words, what does this Yellow River embankment have to do with Zhou Shizong? ”
"Your Majesty, whether the Yellow River embankment has anything to do with Zhou Shizong or not, Poor Dao doesn't know. The story that Poor Dao wants to tell has a lot to do with the city wall next to the new sour jujube gate where you are standing today. It is said that that year, Zhou Shizong took advantage of the slack time to recruit countless people from the surrounding roads to build the city wall of Bianliang City for him. One day, Zhou Shizong suddenly came to the construction site on a whim and secretly came to the construction site with his subordinates. Your Majesty, guess what did this emperor of the previous dynasty see? ”
Cai Dao sold a pass, and deliberately listened to it for a few seconds, Zhao Xu vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a story, but he forgot the specific content. But the people sitting in the main hall are all Jinshi of the two lists, full of poetry and books, so they naturally know what this bad boy is going to say next. As a result, everyone else focused their eyes on Yang Wei.
At this time, Yang Wei also suddenly woke up, no wonder,
I see, it turns out that this Luo pot is not reminding Bianliang City under the Yellow River how dangerous it is.
This Luo pot is simply looking for his own stubble!
Thinking of this, Yang Wei was ready to strike first, and he said, "Your Majesty, Weichen ......"
But Zhao Xu didn't give him this opportunity, and said, "Let him continue!" ”
Now he is silent, and now except for Yang Wei, who is in a hurry, everyone else is watching the excitement again.
Zhou Shizong visited the construction site privately, but found that the people who built the city wall for Bianliang City were eating, and his poor and thin people were not hungry and clothed. The food and food that his people were holding in their hands were actually the rubble and branches of the construction site. This situation and this scene make this emperor from a poor background embarrassed!
He thought to himself! He, the emperor, really didn't know that under his rule, the people not only lived more and more hard, but also like the uncivilized barbarians and savages in the mountains and forests. As a result, the irascible emperor immediately killed several incumbent officials in charge of the matter. Your Majesty, if such a situation arises under your rule, what should you do? ”
"Your Majesty, ......" Yang Wei was anxious at this time, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.
But Cai Dao didn't give him this opportunity at all, and then said: "Lord Fu Yin, of course the Yellow River embankment under your rule will not make such a mistake again, and Poor Dao believes that you have also personally gone to the embankment to inspect the danger. But ......"
