Zhao Ji glanced around at everyone and said, "Liangshan Caokou is a big problem for his henchmen, he must be eliminated, who will share the worries with the widows?" ”

Zhao Ji originally thought that as soon as his voice fell, there would be courtiers rushing out, after all, Liangshan was only 20,000 grass coars, and this was a good opportunity to become an official. But after he finished speaking, he found that there was silence in the hall, but it was still silent.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Ji became impatient and said, "Cai You." ”

Cai You heard the emperor's roll call, and hurriedly came out and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Ji looked at Cai You and said with a smile: "When we discussed the destruction of Liao by Lianjin before, Qing volunteered to serve as the deputy Xuanfu. Conquer the two rivers of Liao Xuanfu Tong Guan to lead the troops to exterminate Fang La, I order you, the deputy Xuanfu to lead the troops, to exterminate the Liangshan thieves, and see who of you, the deputy Xuanfu, wins the class first, and the first to return to the court is promoted to one level. ”

When Cai You heard this, he couldn't help but look like dirt, and Lianjin destroyed Liao, he thought that there was Tong Guan, a veteran of the battlefield, leading the army, and the elite of the Western Army, plus the Liao State had been beaten by the Jin State and some remnants of the defeated generals, so he rushed to be the deputy Xuanfu, so as to seize some military merits and increase the official rank. But let him lead the army to attack Liangshan alone, but he was self-aware, Gao Yu led 100,000 troops to go and was defeated and died, and he was afraid that he would lose even worse.

Cai You was just about to speak, but Zhao Ji had already stood up and walked out.

The head of the palace also shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Cai You also saluted with everyone, and immediately ran out of the smoke.

Wang Hao looked at Cai You's anxious appearance, deliberately stopped Cai You, and said, "Congratulations to Lord Cai for getting this beautiful difference." ”

Cai You glared at Wang Hao, bypassed him and ran out.

Zhao Ji knew that Cai You would catch up, and when he left the hall, he just walked slowly, watching Cai You running up panting, and said with a smile: "Is there anything else Qing is going on?" ”

Cai You hurriedly said: "Weichen said that he was a little unwell, and asked the saint to choose another person to lead the troops to exterminate the Liangshan thieves, so as not to miss the important affairs of the imperial court." ”

Zhao Ji's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Yesterday, you were still playing in the palace, jumping up and down, how can you be sick." You are so bold, you just reprimanded you in the main hall, and now you can't hide it again? ”

Cai You saw that Zhao Ji had changed from his usual appearance of playing with them, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "How dare Wei Chen deceive the saint, when he got up today, he felt unwell, and he felt even more pain in the main hall, and it was really difficult to bear the bumps of the carriage and horses. ”

Zhao Ji kicked Cai You over and said with a smile: "You are still addicted to pretending to be a play, and you are sweating, if I don't know who you are, I was really deceived by you." Would you like to send you a few imperial doctors to take a look? ”

Cai You was lying on the ground, seeing that Zhao Ji had returned to his original appearance of playing with them, his courage also grew, he got up from the ground, and said flatteringly: "The emperor is sage, and he still hasn't hidden it from the emperor." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "When I was still the king of Duan, I knew you, and I could not be deceived by you." ”

When Cai You heard this, he was not ashamed, but said proudly: "The emperor also knows that Weichen has never been in battle, but this time he asked me to command the army to exterminate the Liangshan bandits." It doesn't matter if Weichen is dead, he is afraid that he will lose his troops and lose his generals, and he will miss the major events of the court. ”

Zhao Ji glared at Cai You and said, "Then when you were discussing the conquest of Liao, why did you rush to be the deputy Xuanfu." ”

Of course, Cai You can't say that he wants to grab merit, although everyone knows that the emperor wants to take advantage of Taizong Taizu and become the first emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and they plan to grab the merit of war and increase the official rank.

However, this layer of window paper can not be pierced, Cai You said with a hippie smile: "The emperor also knows that I am smart and studious, although I have never been in the battle array, but I can still be competent to study with Tong Shumi, and be a deputy Xuanfu." But this time, the emperor asked me to lead the troops alone, isn't there some ducks on the shelves? ”

Zhao Ji saw that Cai You was flattering with these market slang again, and kicked Cai You.

"Oops"

Cai You fell to the ground exaggeratedly, rubbing the place where he was kicked by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji glared at Cai You and said, "I don't know your little ghost thoughts?" Don't worry, I allow you to select soldiers and horses across the country, you can mobilize 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and then you are afraid that you will not be able to exterminate 20,000 Liangshan bandits? As long as you exterminate the Liangshan bandits, I can add you to the rank of knight. Wang Hao still lacks some talent in governance, but unfortunately Cai Xiang is unwilling to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao, otherwise with him in charge of the three provinces, I can also have less heart. ”

Cai You finally brought down his father, suppressed his younger brother who was favored by Cai Jing, and hurriedly got up and said: "My father is old and frail, how can he still deal with government affairs as he did in previous years. ”

said with a hippie smile: "I have also learned my father's skills in governance, as long as the saint gives me a chance, I can still be a little Cai Xiang." In the future, Cai Xiang, big and small, will remain in the annals of history, isn't it also a beautiful talk. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "I also know that you have extraordinary qualifications and family history, and maybe you really have the talent of a prime minister." However, you are still young in seniority, so I let you go to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and when you come back from victory, I will add you to the office. Wang Hao's performance after becoming a prime minister is really a bit unbearable, if you make some merits, you can't say that your Cai family can really produce two prime ministers, and it is unknown. ”

Cai You actually looked down on Wang Hao in his heart, his Cai family can be said to be the family of eunuchs, but Wang Hao was from a humble background, his father actually gave him the name of a eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Fu, and later got the emperor's favor, so he changed his name to Huang. Wang Hao's name can be said to be one of the jokes of scholars, and his career is only the eunuch Liang Shicheng, who was promoted to the eighth level in one year and became the prime minister.

Cai You felt that if he was made the prime minister, he would definitely be able to defeat Wang Huang. Therefore, he immediately said excitedly: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "Thank you slowly, I just gave you a chance, and I also want you to make achievements, so that I can make you the prime minister." ”

Cai You said with a smile: "The emperor said that I will choose soldiers and horses at will, then this achievement must be able to be made, I will choose 100,000 western troops, and I will guarantee to wipe out all the thieves in Liangshan." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he hurriedly said: "The Western Army is not good, you can choose to remove the Western Army." ”

When Cai You heard this, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Just now the emperor said that I can choose the soldiers and horses, why can't the Western Army?" ”

Zhao Ji said helplessly: "Tong Guan has brought 200,000 Western troops to exterminate Fang La, and the remaining Western Army still has to prevent Western Xia from invading the border, and it cannot be mobilized again." You can choose other soldiers and horses, even my upper four armies can also let you choose some. ”

"If the Western Army can't do it, then only the forbidden army will be left, but Gao Yu is also vulnerable with 100,000 forbidden troops, and I'm afraid that other forbidden troops can't do it. What other soldiers and horses? ”

Cai You thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, didn't the imperial court recruit ten festival envoys a few years ago?" They are all from the green forest, and like this Liangshan thief, the court can't arrest them before they recruit peace. If you take them to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, it will definitely be a success. Then the minister chose these ten knots. ”

When Zhao Ji heard Cai You's words, he also felt that it was feasible, and said with a smile: "Then you go and prepare, I will wait for your good news." ”
