A few days later, Cai Dao, who was living a leisurely and leisurely life in the Baiyun Temple of Xuehua Mountain, heard a report from the people in the temple that his father was coming.

Cai Dao had to sigh in his heart, he didn't get along with Zhao Xu for too long, but the influence he had on him was not small at all.

Cai Bian's sudden visit, Cai Dao knew it: It seems that Xiao Zhao Xu has learned badly, and he will already use this kind of off-the-plate trick against himself.

However, Cai Dao does not intend to compromise on this.

Cai Bian is here not to say that he is a lobbyist, he is simply putting on the prestige of being a father.

Therefore, you can only outwit it, not force it.

With Cai Ban and Cai Bucket, Cai Dao personally went down the mountain to take his cheap father into Baiyun Temple.

After Cai Bian sat down, Hua Lanxi served him a good cup of tea, he was naturally not polite, picked up the tea bowl and tasted the tea, took a breath, and was just about to say the purpose of the trip straight to the point.

I heard my second son say: "Father, you must have been entrusted by the official family to capture the poor road back to Bianliang City. However, my father, you are still in too much of a hurry to enter Beijing this time. Poor Dao still advises you to stay here for half a year. At that time, the position of prime minister will definitely be within reach. ”

"What do you mean by that?" was exposed by his son in public, Cai Bian inevitably blushed, but he was a person who adjusted his emotions very quickly, and asked after a little thought.

Cai Dao counted euphemistically: "These officials of our Great Song Dynasty, wherever they ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, they always have to experience some disasters. Therefore, at this time, you people are neither suitable to enter Beijing, nor are you suitable to occupy a high position immediately. ”

"You kid, how old is this year. What can you know? Having said that, Cai Bian thought about it roughly in his mind, and he was shocked. In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Not to mention, when Song Shenzong first ascended the throne, there were constant natural disasters, if there was no father-in-law to stabilize the situation for this unfortunate official, how could he have the money to continue to wage wars!

Hearing Cai Bian's words questioning himself, Cai Dao stroked the bun on his forehead a little arrogantly, raised his chin slightly, and said: "Father, a few days ago, Poor Dao dreamed of earthquakes, heavy rains, floods, and droughts in his dreams. ”

"If your dream is so accurate, why didn't you see you to warn the emperor when disasters occurred in the past?" Cai Bian didn't believe in this too much, and habitually questioned.

Cai Dao didn't defend himself, but began to play tricks again, saying, "Father, I don't know about the poor way." In the past, Poor Dao had never dreamed of these things! How are you warning the emperor? What's more, what the poor Dao said, the emperor did not completely believe it. ”

As for Cai Dao's explanation, Cai Bian had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, as if talking to himself: "According to what you say, not only will your father not be able to enter Beijing at this time, but he will also find a way to transfer your uncle out of the capital?" ”

"That's right!" Cai Dao nodded, and then said: "Not only uncle, but Poor Dao thinks that all those subordinates of my grandfather who will return to Beijing in the near future, except for Lu Huiqing and Xingshu, should all of them be transferred out of the capital. The others can leave it alone, but Uncle and Zhang Dian must do everything possible to transfer the two of them out.

Someone always has to stand up and take the blame for natural disasters. And now the prime minister in Bianliang City is not the most suitable candidate? In doing so, it naturally gave the officials the best excuse to clean up their faces.

Now, what the official family should do most is not to rush to let you take the throne and restore the new law, but to let Di Yong go back out of the mountain, contact the Cao family and the Pan family, and set up Gao Zunyu. As for Lu Dafang's people, they will soon step down automatically. ”

"Hmm!" Cai Bian thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to believe in his second son, and said, "Okay! Dao'er, your uncle, don't worry. But will he listen to me? You're young and don't know this person. Zhang Dun has always been very strong, and he will repay him. With such a good opportunity, how could he give it up so easily? ”

"Father, you don't need to worry about this. You write a letter in which you can say what you said before. He will definitely leave the capital on his own. Perhaps, I will go to Baiyun Temple to meet you. As for the others, you can do what you want. Cai Dao said this, deliberately paused, and then continued: "Alas! As the saying goes, good words are hard to convince damned ghosts. The official family listened to Yang Wei's slander, and even villains like Lu Huiqing and Xingshu were recruited into the capital together. ”

When Cai Bian heard this, he asked a little strangely: "Lu Huiqing is a villain repeatedly, but the punishment has no grudge against you." Why do you dislike him so much, kid? ”

"Forgiveness?" When Cai Dao heard that his father actually trusted Xing Shu so much, he put on a pink little face and said very seriously: "Father." If you talk about capriciousness, the punishment is much more powerful than Lu Huiqing and Zheng Xia! Lu Huiqing is indeed talented and unvirtuous, but he is not too strong in his desire for power, and he doesn't know how to judge the situation. You're thinking about the history of this person. His actions are almost comparable to those of Deng Pavilion at the beginning and Yang Wei, a close confidant of Lu Dafang in the DPRK and now. If you are on stage, Uncle Zhang, Uncle and you, you must be careful with these two. ”

For Deng Guan, Cai Bian gritted his teeth with hatred, this guy is also fateful, he died early, he really calmed down when he heard this, and thought about it carefully. This act of torture is really worse than Lu Huiqing.

Originally Cheng Yi's students. Later, he attached himself to Sima Guang and attacked the new law presided over by his father-in-law together with this scholar, and was also demoted. If he was treated like this, Cai Bian could still praise him, but when Cai Bian was gaining power, he actually turned around and took refuge in Cai Que. You must know that Cai is indeed the leader of the Fa-changing faction after Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing!

In doing so, Xing Shu obviously chose to betray Sima Guang.

Seeing that his father was deep in thought, Cai Dao said again: "Father, you haven't thought that even you and Zhang Dian have been filial piety at home, but they have been relegated to Qiongzhou Island and Lingnan. He was sentenced to be Cai Qu's confidant, but he was only demoted to Heyang to serve as the governor. What's more, when the official family first ascended the throne, he was demoted from Beijing because he offended the empress dowager. ”

Cai Bian didn't know or seriously thought about the facts when choosing a mate. After Zhao Xu just succeeded to the throne, because of the matter of Shangshu respecting Concubine Zhu, Xingshu was demoted out of the capital one step ahead, and he successively served as the governor of Suizhou, Ruxiang and Heyang.

But this kind of treatment is much better than the treatment of any minister of the Reform Sect during the Yuan You period.

Why is that?

What is the virtue of his punishment and what can he do?

"It is rumored that Cai did step down and died in Lingnan, which is also due to the credit of criminal forgiveness. Poor Dao believed this rumor. Otherwise, this villain will definitely be relegated to Lingnan. Cai Dao said these words, of course, there is evidence, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu opened up to the criminal forgiveness net, and the people of the seven-color collar targeted him.

Only then did I accidentally discover that criminal forgiveness actually played a role in Cai Qu's dismissal.

……

Actually, if it weren't for Zhao Xu's instructions, Cai Bian wouldn't want to talk more with Cai Dao. Therefore, after the topic of criminal forgiveness was discussed, the two of them began to get busy, Cai Dao was busy cultivating his mind, and Cai Bian was busy writing letters to the ministers who entered Beijing.

Of course, except for the very detailed writing in the hearts of his brother and Zhang, the contents of the letters to the others are some words of greeting, and the others are passed on by the person who sent the letter to the other party.

Cai Bian not only has to be cautious and not leave the handle to others, but this is also the only aspect that Cai Bian is stronger than Cai Jing, and the subordinates he trained are much stronger than Cai Jing's subordinates.

There is also the credit of Cai Wang's family.

In addition to being busy with his own government affairs and oral desires, Cai Jing has been carefully adjusting his children.

Cai Bian's family is the opposite. The education of his son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Cai Bian couldn't interfere at all, Cai Dao had already separated from their husband and wife, and the other concubines, he didn't dare to show too intimacy. Therefore, over the years, in the demotion center, Cai Bian had to put his experience completely into the career of training his right-hand man.

This is not only the vigilance of Wang Anshi's improper use of people, but also the inspiration of the Cai school opened by Cai Dao.

Things turned out to be as Cai Dao expected, after receiving Cai Bian's letter, Zhang Dian and Cai Jing immediately entered the palace and took the initiative to ask Zhao Xu to go to the temple and Taoist temple to pray for the late Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and His Majesty the Emperor.

When Zhao Xu started, he was still very happy, and he really believed the nonsense of these two important ministers, and he was allowed at that time.

However, later, as soon as Zhao Xu heard that Zhang Dian and Cai Jing actually left the capital at the same time, and after leaving Beijing, they actually left by boat from the Bianhe River at the same time.
