Chapter 363: Old Scheming

Zheng Zhi went to Genyue to see Zhao Ji. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tong Guan slowly walked out of the imperial city with Cai Jing, the two of them were side by side, and the other officials did not dare to approach left and right.

Cai Jing looked at Tong Guan and said: "Tong Shumi, you and I have been friends for many years, and the old man also benefited from Tong Shumi's recommendation back then. ”

Tong Guan heard Cai Jing suddenly sigh with emotion, and he didn't know why, so he only said: "After so many years, the lower officials also worship the Taishi to take care of their kindness." ”

Cai Jing heard Tong Guan's words, raised his hand for a moment, and said: "You and the old man are still so polite, the old man is asking for something today, and I ask Tong Shumi to help me a lot." ”

Tong Guan didn't know what else Cai Jing asked of him, so he hurriedly said politely: "Taishi, it's okay to say anything directly, why should Taishi and I be polite." ”

Hearing this, Cai Jing looked up left and right, and said slowly: "I received a secret report from the palace before my head, and Liang Shicheng suddenly framed me in front of the official family, this matter really made me anxious, and I don't know what to do." ”

Cai Jing said this, and there was a sense of helplessness and sadness in his tone.

Tong Guan naturally understood that although Taishi Cai's words seemed sad, he already had a countermeasure, otherwise he would not have said these words to himself, so he asked, "What does Taishi command?" ”

When Cai Jing heard the question, he was not in a hurry to answer, but said again: "Uncle Zhang's predecessor has been demoted to a grassland supervisor by me. Now that he is back in Tokyo, the official family also allowed him to be a member of the Chinese Scholar's House, Zhang Shuye and I have an old enmity, and now he is the one who has come out to frame me in front of the official family, and Liang Shicheng is also trying his best to cooperate in the palace. The old man is in danger. ”

Liang Shicheng, as the first eunuch of the current inner servant, won the favor of Emperor Zhao Ji, and was a person with great power. If you want to get along with Cai Jing, there must be a hidden secret.

Tong Guan could naturally figure out this, and asked, "I don't know why this Liang Shicheng wants to be embarrassed by the Taishi?" ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he smiled coldly: "Hmph, when there is a white-eyed wolf who can't sit still, he can't wait." ”

Tong Guan listened to this dumb riddle, naturally he didn't understand, raised his eyes and glanced at Cai Jing again, and said: "Please also ask the Taishi to make it clear that if you need help from the lower officials, the lower officials will not dare to refuse." ”

Cai Jing suddenly stopped, looked back at the imperial city behind him, and said slowly: "Wang Huang's generation, his wings are stiff, and he wants to flutter his wings and soar." ”

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Taishi, Wang Huang is just a royal historian, and he is still far behind." Besides, this Wang Huang was also picked up by the Taishi, and the Taishi was too worried. This Liang Shicheng has no reason to help Wang Hao do such a distinguished thing. ”

Cai Jing was very old, he swayed left and right when he walked, heard Tong Guan's words, waved his hand, and said: "You don't know, Wang Hao is different now, and his methods of currying favor with officials are something you and I can't learn." It is that Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao treats him like a father, and the two families live close to each other, that is, the courtyard walls are opened, and the two families are like a family. It's a very good idea. ”

Cai Jing, who said this, really seemed a little powerless, he had dominated the court for more than ten years, and now, it seems that he has really met an opponent. This opponent, who had been lying at his feet, was now waiting in the shadows.

Tong Guan seemed to understand, thinking that Zheng Zhi told him about meeting Emperor Zhao Ji yesterday, and he knew that Wang Huang's means of currying favor with the emperor were really extraordinary, that is, he took the emperor out of the palace secretly to have fun, and he could also find a woman who matched Zhao Ji's preferences for him to be chic, such a means that Tong Guan and Cai Jing could not do it. At most, the two sent the woman into the palace, but they didn't dare to take Zhao Ji out secretly to have fun. Now that this Yushitai is in the hands of Wang Hao, it seems that Wang Hao has such a fearless person who is not afraid of criticism from others.

Originally, in history, the woman Wang Hao was looking for for Zhao Ji was Master Li, but now she is a sleeve. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, Zhao Ji seems to like this feeling of stealing.

"Taishi, if it is really Wang Huang, this Wang Huang really dares to think, he is still far from this product, if he wants to take the position, he will not see if any of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will agree." Although Tong Guan was extremely surprised by Wang Hao's methods at this time, he was not very optimistic about Wang Hao's anxious ambition.

When Cai Jing heard this, he laughed lightly, and said with a weak smile: "Tong Shumi, today's official family is unpredictable, maybe you really gave him this scholar's servant and Zhongshu waiter?" ”

Cai Jing is old and spicy, and he sees things very accurately. This Zhao Guanjia really set a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty, and came up with a big move to the eighth level. The old ministers who were so angry that they were all struggling with their qualifications and levels all vomited three liters of blood.

Tong Guan disagreed, the Great Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, where has there been such a thing, which courtiers are not up year by year, Wang Huang is not the middle of the imperial history, the general doctor under the fourth grade, the tenth level of civil officials, to be qualified to sit in the phase, at least eight levels away.

"This Wang Huang is really a fool's dream, so urgent, not afraid of a chicken and egg. The Taishi has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Tong Guan said, but he also knew that he couldn't retreat at this time, Wang Hao and Tong Guan were not all the way after all, and Cai Jing was in the phase, which was more beneficial to Tong Guan.

Even if Cai Jing may be the obstacle to Tong Guan taking charge of the front division of the palace, it can't let Cai Jing lose his position. Politics is like this, there is no right or wrong, only interests, and everything revolves around interests.

"You said that if the old man doesn't fight back now, wouldn't it be better to let them make trouble?" Cai Jing suddenly said such a sentence that was completely different from the attitude in front of his head.

Cai Jing's turning point, Tong Guan also looked at each other, thinking that this Cai Jing wanted to help himself, but it was this Cai Jing who suddenly came to such a sentence, which made Tong Guan really confused. He only asked, "What does the master mean?" ”

"Hmph, the old man's officialdom has been up and down for many years, and this phase has not been lost once. Didn't it come back again? Wang Hao's generation was still very tender, and if he wanted to ascend to the throne, he let him go to the cusp of the storm to see how the wind blew him to the ground. At this time, the enemy was in the dark, and it was too difficult to fight back, so he asked him to go to the light, and the old man watched him in the dark. Cai Jing also chatted with Tong Guan for a few words, so he had this idea.

Promoted to eight levels in a row, it is really as Tong Guan said, it is urgent. After being promoted to eight levels in a row, it is to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the old ones are not used to it, and the young ones are also jealous. It depends on how Wang Hao can sit firmly in this position.

Tong Guan is also a lot more transparent at this time, Cai Jing has been operating in Tokyo for decades, Wang Huang once took the position, and Cai Jing has the means to clean up Wang Huang. What's more, there is also this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, no matter how old or young, no matter which camp, Wang Hao's unprecedented promotion to eight levels in a row has offended these people all over the place.

"It's still the Taishi who can see far, and the lower officials admire it." Tong Guan's admiration is natural, and there is joy in admiration. As long as Cai Jing can stop for a short time, Tong Guan will have no obstacles, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, where can he not like it.

After Cai Jing thought clearly, he was in a good mood, his hands were folded in his sleeves, and his steps shook a lot faster. I also wanted to contact allies everywhere to compete with this Wang Huang, but now I have peace of mind.

Zheng Zhi was rewarded, and he also said goodbye in Zhao Ji's happiness, although Zhao Ji felt a little abrupt about Zheng Zhi's resignation, but he was not forced to stay.

Zheng Zhi held the imperial pen calligraphy and painting, and also went out of the imperial city and went straight to Tongguan's mansion.

Tong Guan had already arrived home, in a good mood, and was still singing a little song in his mouth.

Zheng Zhi entered the study, and seemed to be able to vaguely hear what Tong Guan was singing in his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Enxiang is so interested today!" ”

"Big things can be done, naturally the interest is not bad, Xu is there heaven to help, everything is according to my heart, there is a rebellion in the south, and the obstruction of the court is suddenly gone, so how can I not be happy." Tong Guan originally had to plot left and right, and talk to people everywhere, but now it seems that there is no need to do all this, only one or two ministers need to help him mention this matter to the emperor, and nine times out of ten he can succeed.

"Congratulations! Today, the official family summoned me to go, but there was nothing else to do, just to do my best. Zheng Zhi said.

"The official family is like this, the last dynasty is like suffering, as long as you retreat from the court, you can find your own fun and enjoy it. There is still one thing that has not been played today, that is, to ask for credit for you, and at this time, it will be played again tomorrow, and the land of Sizhou will allow you, and you should hurry back to Hebei to reorganize the army. Tong Guan said, Tong Guan is not allowed to play again today, otherwise Tong Guan would like to quickly settle Zheng Zhi's affairs.

"Thank you for your efforts, now that everything is going well, why don't you have a few drinks?" Zheng Zhi is also interested, compared to watching Zhao Ji paint in Genyue, drinking with Tong Guan is naturally more fun.

Tong Guan is true after drinking, and even the fact that he is a eunuch can be joked. This makes Zheng Zhi very fond of drinking with Tong Guan, the atmosphere is good, relaxed, and there is no need to be cautious.

This is the best way to truly commune with people.
