After the next dynasty, Lu Ming was very happy in the house,

'Daddy. We did a great job this time. This Li Yibai still wants to be promoted, and he doesn't want to think about who the prime minister is? The emperor will depend on us. ’

Cai Jing's eyebrows condensed, "Ming'er, it's impossible to take it lightly, this Li Yibai is not simple." It's only been a few days, and he actually asked Zhao Qing and Jia Yi to help him speak. It seems that he has two hits.

What's going on with the East God of Wealth? ’

'Dad, the Eastern God of Wealth took back all the official salt stalls in Yangzhou, and he said that he wanted to ask his father to send a trustworthy person to go. He didn't want to hand over his business to someone like Ryugo anymore. ’

Lu Minghui reported.

'Hmm. You explain and send Xiao Liuzi to Yangzhou. Let him help us run the salt industry in Yangzhou. ’

Cai Jing took two steps and said.

'Dad, now that Li Yibai occupies Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River, I am always unconvinced. Now the God of Eastern Fortuna is also planning to get rid of him. Let's just do it. ’

Lu Ming was impetuous, and wanted to kill Li Yibai earlier.

Cai Jing shook his head, "I don't want to." But Li Yibai is not simple, he has climbed Gao Yu, and he also has some status in the emperor. What's more, he also made friends with Guo Jia, Li Tang, and Yang Shixian. These people are all celebrities around the emperor. If they help Li Yibai say good things together. We can't fight back.

So take your time with this. Li Yibai has just arrived in the capital, and his foundation is shallow. We have a way to fix him. ’

Lu Ming smiled gloomily, "I knew that my father had a way." Well, we'll kill him slowly. At that time, his property in Lin'an, we will share it equally with the East God of Wealth. ’

The next day, I went to court.

Song Huizong sat on the throne with an unhappy look on his face again.

'Your Majesty, the civil unrest in Shandong has been pacified. But the Jin Kingdom is eyeing us, and they are demanding an increase in the annual coin. Please let the emperor decide. ’

Cai Jing arched his hand.

'Raise the New Year's coins, then give them them.' You must not annoy them. Song Huizong said eagerly.

Song Huizong only wanted to be the son of peace. He didn't want to fight. For the civil unrest in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, he was already troubled. If Jin Guo came to fight, how could he sleep peacefully.

All he wanted was eating, drinking, playing, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and fighting such violent things, and he never wanted to.

But Your Majesty, it has cost us a lot to quell the civil unrest in Shandong. If we raise the year's coin, I'm afraid we'

As the prime minister, Cai Jing knew the financial situation of the Great Song Dynasty. These years have long been beyond their means. In addition to the suppression of civil unrest, the government has been supported by various commercial taxes, and it has been difficult, and it is impossible to give more than half a penny to the people of Jinguo.

'What's wrong. Cai Xiangye has something to say. Song Huizong was still complacent, he didn't know that the treasury had already been empty.

'Your Majesty, now the treasury has no money. We can't add more coins to the people of the Golden Country. ’

Cai Jing had no choice but to say it clearly.

'Your Majesty, we don't need to give the people of the Jin Kingdom New Year's coins. The ambition of the wolf son of the Jin country has been watching me for a long time, and this time asking for a higher year coin is just an excuse, and we gave. They will continue to improve until they use this excuse to go to war. ’

The person who spoke was Li Gang, the squire of the military department. Li Gang is the minister of the main battle faction. Later, Jingkang was an important figure who presided over the defense of Bianliang City.

Li Gang is a patriot, and Li Yibai knows. So Li Yibai also stood up and said.

'Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should not give the New Year's coin. Today, the people of the Jin Kingdom really want to invade and occupy the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, so they deliberately said this. ’

Hearing Li Yibai say this, Li Gang's heart moved, he didn't expect someone to support him, and his heart was hot. He has had this point of view for a long time, but many ministers of the DPRK and China disagreed, thinking that Song Jin was an ally, how could Jin attack Song.

However, they didn't know that the Jin Kingdom had not been baptized by Chinese civilization and had not been barbarian. The salaries of the officials of the Golden State are almost robbed. They annexed the Liao State and looted a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but they did not know that if they were not appeased by the people and were able to pay taxes, this situation would not last long.

Therefore, because of the lack of money, the Jin people will inevitably attack the Great Song Dynasty.

When he heard that the Jin people might attack the Great Song Dynasty, Song Huizong was nervous. He knew the skills of the people of the Jin State, and a few thousand people wiped out the million-strong army of the Liao State.

How the hell is this good. ’

Cai Jing continued to arch his hand, "Your Majesty, you can't listen to Li Gang and Li Yibai. At present, the people of Jin Guo just want to ask for more money. Didn't I give money before to keep me safe for many years? We just need to continue to meet the demands of the people of Jinguo. They're going to settle down. We can continue to make peace for the people.

And Li Gang took the initiative to face the battle. But Li Gang, do you know how much it costs to fight a war? We spent 1 million taels of silver just to quell the civil unrest in Shandong. This Jin country is the army of tigers and wolves, and we don't have enough to spend 10 million taels of silver. ’

There is some truth in what Cai Jing said, but the fundamental reason is wrong. The main reason is that the people of the Jin Kingdom will definitely invade the Great Song Dynasty when they see the poverty and weakness of the Great Song Dynasty. Back then, the people of Jin Guo saw the situation of Liao. After a person has had an experience, he will definitely do things according to his habits. He will definitely invade the Great Song Dynasty again.

Song Huizong was also afraid of the Jin people at this time. He felt that it took so much money to fight the war. Then it's better to give money to the people of Jinguo.

'Cai Xiangye, everything is as you say. Even if you scrape the ground, you can give the money to the people of the Jin country. ’

'Your Majesty. Cai Jing arched his hand.

But the emperor, what if the people of Jin don't agree this time? What's next? ’

Li Yibai stood up and arched his hand.

'Hmph. Li Yibai, you said wildly, how could the people of the Jin Kingdom not agree, we have an alliance. ’

Cai Jing despised Li Yibai Dao.

Li Yibai continued to say seriously, "Cai Xiangye, you are extremely smart, you won't even understand such a reason. This time it is also the number of coins written in the covenant. Why would they break their covenant and raise the New Year's coins. This time it was violated, is there any reason why it will not be violated again next time?

Confucius said, the word is not believed, the villain is also. This is the case with the people of Jinguo. Therefore, the words of the people of Jin Guo are not credible. ’

After Li Yibai finished speaking, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty talked a lot. Many people say that what Li Yibai said makes sense.

'Your Majesty. The minister thinks what the national teacher said makes sense. ’

'Your Majesty. The minister also felt that what the national teacher said made sense. The people of the Jin Kingdom are dangerous. We must be cautious. ’

'Your Majesty. What the national teacher said was the truth of the Confucian sage, which is an eternal saying. We are all deeply taught by the Sage Confucius. In this matter, I think the people of the Jin Kingdom really have invaded my heart of the Great Song Dynasty. ’

Listening to the words of these ministers, Cai Jing was furious.

He pointed at the ministers and scolded,

You people are duplicitous one by one, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Now I am in charge of this court. How can you understand the affairs of militarism? Now the imperial court is short of funds, and if there is a war, it will inevitably cost a lot. If you want to fight, you pay for it. Can you donate your money? ’

Cai Jing's words suddenly made these ministers honest. After all, when it was heard that they were asked to donate money. And they coaxed. The country is the emperor, why should we donate money.

Song Huizong sat on the throne, and he became more and more uneasy.

'Let's do what Cai Xiangye said. Let you call the shots, and can you give me ideas? ’

Li Gang still wanted to stand up and speak, but he hadn't taken a step yet.

Song Huizong shook his hand, "Needless to say. Retreat. ’

Cai Jing Mansion.

'Daddy. This time we won again. This Li Yibai still wants to fight with us just two times. Lu Ming said proudly.

'Hmph. You know what. What wins, doesn't win. The people of the Jin Kingdom may really attack the Great Song Dynasty. I just had no choice but to use a delaying tactic. ’

Cai Jing said angrily.

'Ahh Really? Lu Ming was dumbfounded, "Then why does Dad continue to send money to the people of the Jin Kingdom." ’

'The Jin people are wolf and ambitious. This war could happen. I sent money to the people of the Jin Kingdom just to temporarily buy time to retreat. ’

Cai Jing said lightly.

Cai Jing is cunning and cunning, of course he can see the purpose of the Jin people. But what good is it for him to defend his family and country. All he wanted was to make more money and keep his position.

Those who want to fight now, even if they win, what about the people of Jinguo. The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over martial arts. In the end, the generals were not reused.

And with the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty. He knows. The military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was no match for the Jin people at all. The Liao people were so capable of fighting, but they were all defeated at the hands of the Jin people.

What's more, Liao's subordinates defeated the Great Song Dynasty.

So it's a top priority. He just ran away and retreated, and transferred his property to Jiangnan earlier.

'Ming'er. You buy more land in Yangzhou. In the future, Yangzhou's land will appreciate in value. After the Jin people came, we must have retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, the wealthy nobles of Bianliang will run to wherever they go. At that time, housing prices in Yangzhou will skyrocket. We have more real estate and we will make a fortune in the future. Ha ha. ’

'Daddy. Rest assured. I am the prefect of Yangzhou. I want that land, I want that piece, I want it, and I don't even have to pay for it. Lu Ming was overjoyed. 'Great. If we have a war, we can still take this opportunity to make a fortune. ’

Cai Jing smiled, "You immediately transfer all our property in Bianliang to Yangzhou." And the fields in Bianliang have been sold, and the real estate has also been sold. All of them were exchanged for silver and brought back to Yangzhou. ’

'Yes, Daddy. Anyway, our property in Yangzhou will appreciate in value in the future. Lu Mingle said with a smile.

Cai Jing said, "At the same time, you prepare a few small boats. A few fast horses. has been staying at the gate of Bianliang City. We are ready to flee at any time. ’

'Daddy. Your official position. Do you want to resign right away? ’

'Hmph. How can it be. I've worked hard to get to this high position. Of course, you can't resign. At that time, as long as the Jin people call. Let's run. Why should I resign from my official position? And if we run fast. can also support the emperor in other places, and he will be a high-ranking official at that time. Why are you worried about this? Look at your political consciousness is too low. ’

'Hehe, it's still Daddy's wise. Children still need to learn a lot. ’

At this time, Li Gang, the squire of the military department, went to Li Yibai's house.

Li Yibai saw Li Gang coming, and hurriedly invited him to the house.

As soon as Li sat down, he said earnestly, "National teacher, now the country is in a moment of crisis. I didn't expect you to be the only one who thought of going with me. ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "I thought of the idea of the people of the Jin Kingdom a few years ago. In the future, the capital will be in danger. The people of Jin are not far from our capital. If they attack the foot of the capital, it will only take five days. In five days, it was too late for the capital to transfer troops from all over the country. ’

Li Gang's pupils shrank, "That's right. What the national teacher said is extremely true. Now our capital has too few troops. It's too dangerous. Moreover, Cai Jing's old thief controlled the imperial court, which made His Majesty's ears and eyes closed. How that should be? I would like to ask the national teacher to advise Your Majesty.

I think the prestige of the national teacher is extremely high, and Your Majesty may listen to your words.

For the Great Song Dynasty, for the emperor, for the people of the world. Please help me with this. ’

Saying that, Li Gang stood up and bowed to Li Yibai and said.

Li Yibai hurriedly helped Li Gang up.

'Your Excellency. This says where to say. Adults want to be for the country and for the country. As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, I should also do it. Adults can rest assured. I will definitely tell the emperor tomorrow. ’

Li Gang continued to worship. 'Nope. National Teacher. If you do this now, you may offend Cai Jing, an old thief. I'm not afraid of Cai Jing's old thief. But this thing is affecting you. So you should bow down to me.

I really want to lead the troops to fight the Jin soldiers now. If we deploy the Beijing division now, it's still too late. It's a pity, alas. ’

Li Yibai understands Li Gang's thoughts, Li Gang is a patriot who reads the books of sages. But now he has the intention to kill the enemy, and he has no power to return to the sky.

In the Song Dynasty, without the emperor's order, they could not bring troops privately, otherwise they would be punished for a crime. Therefore, after the emperor followed Cai Jing's advice, the military affairs were still in a state of abandonment. In this case, once the Jin soldiers attacked, the Beijing division would inevitably collapse immediately.

At that time, Song Huizong will be captured alive.

All the princes and nobles of the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

"Don't worry, Lord Lee. I will definitely persuade the emperor. Lady Lee, please come back. ’

With tears in his eyes, Li Gang bowed to Li Yibai a few more times before slowly retiring.

Li Yibai also returned the gift to him.

Li Yibai admired him in his heart. A person must have ideals and morals in order to be respected.

Before this, there were many villains who bowed to Li Yibai, and even knelt down to Li Yibai. Li Yibai can smugly despise them.

But today it's Li Gang. A noble person who reads the books of sages, knows benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is loyal to the monarch and serves the country. He must return the favor. This is not only respect for Li Gang, but also respect for himself.

Because Li Yibai is also such a person.

He wanted to build a new Great Song Dynasty, and he must also have the idea of defending the Great Song Dynasty. If the Great Song Dynasty was eroded by the Jin State, how could he talk about building a new Great Song Dynasty.

The next day, he went to the palace to meet Song Huizong. But he didn't talk about the war of resistance. Just said, please let the emperor allow him to be a petty officer patrolling the city wall.

That is, a small commander in the forbidden army.

Song Huizong readily agreed. It is impossible for such a petty official to rebel.

After Li Yibai thanked Song Huizong, he went to the city wall of Bianliang.

(I won't write about war later.) (To be continued......)
