150, the attention of the Beijing Division
Among the Jingshi, Cai Jing, who had regained his life, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly.
Far away from the political center in the past few years, I didn't expect that the state affairs have been corrupted into such a state, if it weren't for the two items of Rongcheng and Snow Sugar, so that the treasury of the imperial court was slightly fuller, not to mention the money and grain for planning the expedition to the west, even the imperial court's money and the reward of officers and soldiers, I don't know where to solve it.
"These stupid things, they keep saying that the old man is a traitor, but without the old man, there are few chaos and displacements in the world!"
Rubbing his eyes again, Cai Jing sighed, his energy has been okay recently, but a pair of eyes are a little disobedient.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
Suddenly, the voice of his son Cai You came, and Cai You, who was full of excitement, almost trotted in front of him.
"Why are you so flustered, live in peace, every time you come to a major event, you need to have calm!" Cai Jing put down the official file in his hand and said calmly to his son.
This son has political ambitions and is a little smart, but after all, he is not in the state and county, and he is completely in a high position because of Zhao Ji's joy, so Cai Jing is very skeptical of his ability.
But the intrigue is a good hand, and the two father and son teamed up to overthrow many political opponents.
"Something is wrong, my lord, Xuzhou, Xu Churen's stupid thing has stirred up a civil uprising in Xuzhou, and the thieves in Pengcheng have occupied half of the city!"
Cai You hastily made a gesture to his father, and then exclaimed excitedly.
"Xu Churen, that wall grass, repeat villain!" Cai Jing's first thought was not the "big event" itself, but the person Xu Churen.
In Cai Jing's life, there were countless political enemies, from senior ministers like Sima Guang to those students who thought they were righteous in the current Guozi Prison, he had long developed the habit of not being surprised by changes.
"Although Xu Zezhi is capricious, he is not a remnant of the people, how can he provoke a civil uprising in Xuzhou?" Immediately afterwards, Cai Jing returned to the matter itself and shook his head: "I want to think about it...... Could it be related to the new governor of Liguojian Zhou Fu, I remember that Zhou Fu still has his son, who is used to tossing. ”
Although he had never met Zhou Quan, Cai Jing still saw through the essence of the incident at a glance.
"Why do you say that?" Cai You was a little confused.
Cai Jing smiled, but did not answer, but waved his hand to the servant next to him: "Go and call the covenant." ”
Cai You's face changed slightly, and he was a little jealous.
It was his younger brother Cai Juan, when Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, he was Cai Juan's attendant, so Cai Jing loved this son even more, and mentioned it everywhere, in Cai You's opinion, he almost had the intention of teaching Cai Qian to be an official. On the contrary, for Cai You, the eldest son, Cai Jing will still play tricks and even deceive perfunctory.
After Cai Qian arrived, Cai Jing explained how he would know that the Xuzhou incident should be related to Zhou Quan, and Xu Churen was probably implicated.
The entire bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty was fooled by everyone, and this kind of fooling would naturally not have been possible in the years of famine, but now that the world is peaceful, although it is useless to fool it, it will not happen, so there should be no civil uprising. The only possibility is that someone in Xuzhou is tossing.
Now in the Great Song Dynasty, the first person who can toss is named Zhao Ji, the second person who can toss is named Cai Jing, and the third person who can toss is called Tong Guan. Anyway, Xu Churen's guy has no ability to toss at all.
"It's Zhou Quan, who is a rising star, which makes the old man daunting, if it weren't for the fact that the old man was dozens of years older than him, he would have to have a heart to avoid his edge." Cai Jing laughed.
Cai You was a little unimpressed, he had dealt with Zhou Quan, and felt that although this young man could toss, he couldn't reach the level that his father said.
"How many things did he toss in Jingshi, Ju'an, the bicycle he gave you, and the old man also took it, which is quite good, especially on the newly built cement road in Yujie, which is very stable, better than a carriage carrying a sedan chair." Cai Jing said slowly.
"Son, give the car to the adult." Cai You said immediately.
Cai Jing nodded with satisfaction, this son should be banged and beaten, there are good things, and he doesn't even offer them to himself.
When he went to Liao, he tossed out a city, and also tossed a civil strife in Liao...... Such a person, when he arrives in Xuzhou, how can he not toss, some time ago, he will be able to toss home enough! ”
"Xiang Jia, isn't that Xu Churen's shot?" Cai Qian asked curiously.
"Knowing that the old man was recovering from the beginning, Xu Churen was too late to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he dared to make enemies on all sides? The matter of the Xiang family originated from the Li Guojian, and Zhou Quan's father, Zhou Fu, was the governor of the Li Guojian...... They took the initiative to give up Rongcheng, and they didn't even stay in Jingshi, and went to Li Guojian, which seemed to be a last resort, but they were really retreating, a good move, a good move! ”
Cai Qian just returned it, but Cai You was a little unimpressed.
Leaving the Jingshi, he also left the side of the official family, in the eyes of people like them who rely on the favor of the official family to obtain official positions, this is simply self-willing, therefore, Cai You actually thinks that the choice of the Zhou family is a chaotic act after being forced to desperate.
"In the sense of an adult, there should be a think tank by the side of the Zhou family?"
"There should be, if it weren't for that, with the father and son of the Zhou family, who were born in the forbidden army, they are a little smart, how can they play so skillfully with these twists and turns in the officialdom?"
When Cai Jing said this, he smiled, and then said: "Order someone to prepare the car, the old man is going to the political hall...... Since Xu Churen has revealed such a big flaw, whether it was caused by him or the Zhou family, the old man only thinks that he caused it! ”
When Cai Jing said this, he was murderous, obviously wanting to make this old political enemy the first object of his prestige after his resurrection.
In the political hall, He Zhizhong and Yu Shen are already sitting in the hall, in addition to the two of them, there are still Wu Juhou, who knows the Privy Council, plus Cai Jing, these four people are the military and political center of the Great Song Dynasty.
Originally, there was also a Wang Xiang who knew the privy council, but this person was not on good terms with Cai Jing, and he had been demoted to Maozhou, and he had not yet been elected as a successor. Zhao Ji intends to be a child, but a eunuch at a price, how can he be the prime minister, that is, Cai Jing, who is also resolutely opposed to this.
Seeing Cai Jing coming, everyone got up to greet each other.
The people in this hall are not young, like Wu Juhou, the Jinshi in the Renzong Dynasty, all of them have been fifty years ago.
"Yuan Chang is here for the matter of Xuzhou?" Wu Juhou asked.
The people present, Yu Shen and Wu Juhou are all Cai Jing's henchmen, and He Zhizhong faced Cai Jing and thought about keeping his position, so they all had a very respectful attitude.
"It is for this matter that Xu Zhizhi has the grace of God, and it is really an unforgivable sin!" Cai Jing looked angry.
"Chief, this matter still needs to be taken seriously." He Zhizhong reluctantly said.
"Xuzhou is the center of the canal, the place of the traffic fortress, now is the time to reserve winter grain, Xuzhou has changed, winter grain can not be transported to Beijing in time, Beijing millions of soldiers and civilians, fear of chaos!" Cai Jing sighed and said, "Bertong, this matter is not small! ”
He Zhizhong nodded silently, and secretly scolded Xu Churen in his heart, he is also a figure who once served as the prime minister, how can he not even govern Xuzhou well!
"Moreover, Pengcheng is close to the Li Guojian, gathering troops with the grain transported by the canal, and using the iron backlog of the Li Guojian as the blade, the thieves can take the two Huaijiang rivers when they retreat, and they can enter the Hebei River...... Ladies and gentlemen, if you give a thief a big seat, we are all sinners! Cai Jing said again.
Everyone was shocked.
The Great Song Dynasty is known as the "Ren Song Dynasty", but in fact, the people at the bottom live in hardship abound, if the thieves really gather the poor, and then there is food and soldiers, although it is impossible to really overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, but the richest and most prosperous place is destroyed, the Great Song Dynasty will also be greatly injured.
Although they all have their own selfish motives, their interests are the same in the face of civil unrest.
"How?" Yu Shen asked.
Cai Jing was about to speak, but saw an official reporting outside the door: "Xuzhou urgent military report!" ”
It seems that there is a new situation in Xuzhou, and everyone is a little heavy, I don't know what the situation is, but it is not good news.
"Pengcheng has fallen into the hands of thieves." After reading the military report, Cai Jing said expressionlessly.
"Xu Zezhi is so unappointable, it's really ......" Yu Shen sighed.
"The military report was reported by him, saying that it was Zhou Fu, the governor of Liguojian, who provoked the thief to change...... Joke, the thief mutiny provoked by the governor of Liguojian did not happen in Liguojian, but in Pengcheng, his Xuzhou administrative office! Wu Juhou, who took the military report, shook his head.
In the end, the military report was passed to He Zhizhong, He Zhizhong didn't look at it, just stared at Cai Jing: "Yuan Chang, the matter is urgent, how to deal with it?" ”
"Mobilize the forbidden army in Beijing." Cai Jing said without hesitation.
Can't let the Thief Flame expand!
"It's hard to quench your thirst from afar, Yuan Chang, the forbidden army in Beijing, there are no ten days and eight days, I'm afraid they won't be able to dispatch, by then, the thieves are only afraid that they have already attacked the city and plundered the land, and even damaged the surrounding state capitals!"
"Jingdong Road, as well as Nanjing Yingtianfu and Huainan East Road, must be ordered to go over and order them to strictly guard against it." Wu Juhou interjected.
He Zhizhong snorted, this Wu Juhou didn't know anything about the military at all, he only knew nonsense.
This kind of nonsense, it doesn't make any sense to say it.
"Zhou Fu knows about the army, and orders him to recruit smelters as soldiers, so as not to let the Li Guojian fall into the hands of thieves. If you have the chance, ......"
When Cai Jing said this, his voice stopped again, because outside, the little official came again: "The green card from Xuzhou is urgent!" ”
Everyone was silent, the first news was already very bad, and now the second news came, and I don't know how bad the situation will be.
The green card emergency report was passed to Cai Jing, Cai Jing squinted his old eyes, looked at it carefully, and then looked at it again.
The rest of the people also looked at him, wanting to see from his expression whether the content of the emergency report was good or bad, but Cai Jing's face was silent, as if cast iron.
Then he handed the urgent report to He Zhizhong's hand and let out a long sigh.
"Zhou Fu attacked the thieves in a hurry, broke the 3,000 thieves with 300 people, beheaded the thief Cao Er, and has already recovered Pengcheng......" He Zhizhong read the emergency report, and his face showed surprise.
How long has it been...... The father and son of the Zhou family seem to be both interested figures, and they can break 3,000 thieves with 300 people, which is already very good.
He is worthy of being a person who has made war exploits in the Western Army!
However, for some reason, it is obviously the credit of Zhou's father, but in the center, the face of the son of the Zhou family appeared.
What kind of performance did that kid perform in this battle?
