Now, Cai Bian is the first to be out. Cai Dao knew that the next step would be his uncle's turn, and Cai Jing would definitely not stay in Bianliang City for long.

Therefore, after arranging the affairs of Tianjin Mansion, Cai Dao quickly returned to Bianliang City.

In view of Zhao Xu's sudden change in attitude towards himself, therefore, this time when he returned to Beijing, Cai Dao did not go to meet Zhao Xu, but to meet the Empress Dowager Zhu.

Zhao Xu did not directly give Cai Dao any written will to the southern expedition, so Cai Dao did not need to explain anything to Zhao Xu.

After meeting, Cai Dao wanted to salute first, but who knew that Empress Dowager Zhu, who had never been involved in political affairs, grabbed his arm and began to praise Cai Dao all the time.

Although Empress Dowager Zhu didn't know what the relationship between the two battles she had won in a row and Cai Dao was, she had also heard several princesses talk about it. It is indeed the little Taoist priest in front of him who has grown up and secretly assisted his son to stabilize the throne.

"Dao'er, whatever reward you want, just say, the mourning family will reward you together." Every time Empress Dowager Zhu saw Cai Dao, she was very happy.

This 'together' is very meaningful, listening to the meaning of his words, Empress Dowager Zhu wants to marry that princess to Cai Dao.

Of course, Cai Dao didn't dare to take this stubble. Fortunately, those princess sisters were no longer in front of him, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat that suddenly broke out on his forehead.

When something was wrong, Cai Dao wanted to leave the capital immediately, so he said: "The Queen Mother, at the beginning, Poor Dao wanted to build a Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain, on the one hand, to repay the wish to the master in the dream of Poor Dao, and on the other hand, I also wanted to pray for Niangniang, Your Majesty, the kings and the princesses. I don't want to, the traitor is in charge, but the poor road is thrown to Baiyun Temple. Therefore, I implore Niangniang to allow the poor to leave Beijing. The state affairs are difficult, and the poor road has a little money, so the queen mother can buy Wudang Mountain on the poor road, and the money for the construction of the Taoist temple does not need to be paid by His Majesty. ”

However, the excuse Cai Dao made was actually not an excuse, at the beginning, Song Shenzong suddenly suffered a stroke, and Cai Dao made such a request to him, trying to leave Beijing to avoid trouble. Who knows, Song Shenzong's illness was too urgent, and he couldn't speak, how many national affairs were waiting for him to explain, so naturally he couldn't take care of his request.

The Empress Dowager, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Lu Gongzhu naturally couldn't go as he wanted after learning of Cai Dao's wishes.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Cai Dao was finally secretly demoted to the White Cloud Temple of Xuehua Mountain. What Cai Dao wants to do, many people are reluctant to let him do it, even if he takes the initiative to leave Beijing to avoid the limelight.

After listening to it, Empress Dowager Zhu pondered for a while, to be honest, Cai Dao's words made her a little unhappy. She is weak in nature, but she is not as simple as outsiders see, on the contrary, she knows how to figure out people's minds better than anyone else. After all, with three fathers' daughters, how can such a wonderful life be simple?

Being able to have children alone can't completely capture a man's heart, and Empress Dowager Zhu can win the favor of Song Shenzong, that is, she captured the heart of the first emperor. Before, she had heard someone say that her emperor didn't like the lazy little Taoist priest in front of her. The specific reason may be that when the first emperor was there, the two had a conflict.

But Cai Dao is sometimes the same as his grandfather, a donkey, a little unpleasant, like a picker.

This time, is it as simple as playing a petty temper and preparing to leave Beijing to avoid the emperor, or is it really as simple as going to Wudang Mountain to build a Taoist temple and repaying a wish for his master?

Maybe it's both, but after Empress Dowager Zhu took a deep look at Cai Dao, she still felt that this kid, I'm afraid this time he still wants to escape from the capital!

So, Empress Dowager Zhu opened her mouth and prepared to say what she thought in her heart: "Dao'er! If you want to leave, you can too. However, you're also old enough to get married. The mourning family also knows that your parents must not be able to count on it, but isn't there still your uncle in the capital? This is to ask Your Majesty for a holy decree and give ......"

No wonder those princesses didn't see anyone today, it turned out that the Empress Dowager Zhu was going to have a showdown with herself, Cai Dao thought so in his heart, so he suddenly interrupted the words of the Empress Dowager Zhu, and said: "Niangniang, please forgive me, it's not that the Tao doesn't know how to lift, but the poor Dao already has a Taoist couple." I'm afraid I'm going to live up to your good intentions! ”

For the sake of his life's events, Cai Dao also fought hard, and in this era, only he was so stunned that he dared to interrupt the Queen Mother's words.

However, Empress Dowager Zhu was not angry, but looked at Cai Dao with a smile, and Wen Yan asked, "Oh! This is one thing that the mourning family didn't expect, Dao'er, tell me, which woman is so blessed? ”

"Back to ...... Back to the Queen Mother, it's the little confusion you've seen. Cai Dao missed cowardice for the first time in front of the Empress Dowager Zhu, he was not afraid of worrying about his own safety, but for fear that the Empress Dowager Zhu would be embarrassed for his intended person, so he stumbled when he spoke.

"It's her!" Empress Dowager Zhu thought about it carefully in her mind and said, "Also, this kid must really love you, otherwise, how could he block that arrow for you in the first place?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Poor Dao wants to marry her, and it's not entirely because of this reason, maybe it's because we've been together for a long time, maybe it's because Poor Dao is too smart. Poor Dao just likes her confused, too pure appearance. In this world, there are too many people who think too much. Poor Dao still wants to live more seriously. Cai Dao's words were a pun, obviously he was talking about Lu Mang's character, but secretly he was telling Empress Dowager Zhu that he was telling the truth.

Cai Dao really wanted to go to Wudang Mountain to build a Taoist temple this time, and nothing else.

Cai Dao is a traverser, but he never feels that he is a savior, and the political soil of the Great Song Dynasty is not suitable for exposing rebellion, but these emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty are really not good birds. After experiencing the emperor of Song Shenzong, he was really tired.

Now that he has opened the era of small navigation in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Jurchen tribe in the north really destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, there will be a lot fewer people living in the north.

Even, hundreds of years later, the statement that there is no China after Yashan is not true. This is because there are now countless sons and daughters of China who are working towards the beautiful vision of establishing and settling on the islands of the South China Sea.

In fact, this time, the smooth success of Cai Dao's southern expedition also greatly stimulated the desire of Jiangmen and the royal family to open up a piece of their own territory to a certain extent.

Who doesn't want to be called a lonely widow in the world!

When it comes to building a country overseas, the officials will not only not oppose it, but will intensify their efforts to vigorously promote such behavior.

In fact, everyone understands the truth.

Compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, the Great Song Dynasty was narrow and wide, even with the more advanced planting technology invented by Cai Dao, even if the land in the north was recovered, it can be gradually unable to meet the growing population in terms of the amount of state-owned land in the Great Song Dynasty. This is an indisputable fact. Letting those who have ambition and ability to go out and break through the territory of the Great Song Kingdom is also beneficial to Zhao Song's own rule.

Why is it the Age of Discovery?

This is because, with the shipbuilding technology in the existing shipyard opened by Cai Dao on Yizhou Island, it is too risky to sail the seven seas. Perhaps in the future, the shipyard of the Cai family will be able to build 10,000-ton sea ships, and the navigation skills of the Cai family's crew will also greatly increase. When that time comes, Cai Dao will hand over the maps of those two continents to others.

The Australian mainland, where Cai Dao left him, what is the name of the country in the future?

The thought went astray, and the Empress Dowager Zhu also found that Cai Dao was a little distracted, so she gently patted Cai Dao's head with a soft wattle, and said with disgust: "Just leave for a while, you kid thinks about your Taoist couple so unwillingly." ”

"The mourning family has decided to marry one of the daughters of the mourning family to you. Several daughters of the mourning family, you have also seen Dao'er, all of them are great beauties, tell me, which daughter of the mourning family do you like? Empress Dowager Zhu gently stroked the back of Cai Dao's hand with her hand, and asked softly.

Don't get me wrong, of course Empress Dowager Zhu doesn't have that kind of thought about Cai Dao, at this moment she is looking at Cai Dao completely with the eyes of her mother-in-law and son-in-law.

The picture is poor and the dagger is here!

Empress Dowager Zhu's words made Cai Dao not know why, and such a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.

This is what Empress Dowager Zhu really wanted to say after seeing him.

As mentioned above, Empress Dowager Zhu gave birth to a total of two sons and five daughters for Song Shenzong. If Cai Dao had not appeared, these seven sons and daughters would have really survived to this day, that is, the two sons and eldest daughter, and the youngest daughter.

According to the original historical trajectory, the three daughters in the middle died in the smallpox plague in the seventh year of Yuanfeng. If that were the case, Cai Dao wouldn't have such a headache at the moment.

Song Shenzong did not have many surviving daughters. In the original time and space, it seems that there is only one ten princesses who live to get married. Zhao Xu's use to marry important ministers and stabilize his imperial power was not enough.
