Chapter 71: The Cai family's counterattack
(I wrote the seventy-second chapter in a blink of an eye, and I remembered the seventy-two chapters in the 'Deer and Ding Ji' for no reason, and I was stunned for a long time.) Perhaps, this book should be written so casually? What do book lovers think? )
Cai Wei and Wuda have secretly clashed several times, defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again, and never stopped.
It seems that Cai Wei, as one of the biggest gentlemen in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, was ruthlessly cut by Wuda, and it was cut again and again, although it was not a face-to-face slap in the face, but in the eyes of many insiders, he did not give in much.
In the recent period, the reason why Cai Wei has not made a move is because he believes in his father Cai Jing, who is waiting for the best time to completely trample Wuda under his feet at one time, so that Wuda will never be able to turn over.
Now, Wuhan University is about to worship Zhou Dong as a teacher, and it is a spring breeze, but perhaps, this is also an excellent opportunity.
The reason is very simple, Cai Jing Cai, who has not asked about the government for a long time, is in the court today.
If you are qualified enough, old enough, and powerful enough, you will become a respected old thief in the court.
Emperor Song Huizong had not yet gone to court, Cai Jing sat on a chair, and countless court officials came over to greet him.
Cai Jing didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and with a slight "hum", it was already considered to have given a lot of face.
Including the high ball Captain Gao, he also had to bow down and come over to greet Cai Jing.
However, there is one person who does not use it, and that is Liang Shicheng, who is called "hidden phase" (the word Shoudao, Liang Shoudao).
Liang Shicheng's qualifications are older than Cai Jing, and he doesn't need to give Cai Jing face at all.
What's more, among the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng (the inspector of the school) and Li Yan (the chief of the inner house) had a relatively close relationship, while Cai Jing and Zhu Mian (Weiyuan Jiedu envoy, the later Fangla uprising was in the name of killing Zhu Mian) and Wang Huang (Shaozai) were all in causion, and the two factions could be said to be on the same footing.
As for Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei, although he was deeply favored by Song Huizong, he was still a little inadequate compared to these six "ministers of the humerus" who had been deeply rooted in the court for many years.
Today is just a small court meeting, but except for Tong Guan, who is far away in the northwest to supervise the army, as well as Zhu Mian, the envoy of Weiyuan Festival, Cai Jing, Wang Liang Shoudao, and Li Yan, the head of the Great Interior, the six powerful people of the Northern Song Dynasty came at once, which made the atmosphere in the court extremely delicate.
After a long time, the chief manager of Ouchi shouted in his male duck voice, dragging a long voice, with an expressionless face:
"The emperor has arrived~"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
In the sound of the ministers' salutes, Song Huizong slowly sat on the dragon chair.
Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was the younger brother of Song Zhezong, the eleventh son of Song Shenzong, and the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji had no chance to inherit the unification, but Song Zhezong died young at the age of twenty-three and had no children, so the Song Dynasty royal family was looking for an heir by his younger brother. Originally, Zhezong's younger brother was the longest in Daning County, but unfortunately he suffered from eye disease and could not succeed to the throne, so Zhao Ji, who was named the king of Duan at that time, inherited the unification. Prime Minister Zhang Dian opposed Zhao Ji's succession to the throne at that time, and instead suggested that Li Zhezong have the same brother as Cai Wang Zhao, but the Empress Dowager Xiang supported Zhao Ji to succeed to the throne, so Zhao Ji successfully became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
Song Huizong is now in the prime of life, but after many years of poverty and luxury, absurdity, lewdness, and excess, the wine hollowed out his body, causing his spirit to be a little sluggish.
Yesterday I slept with the two concubines all night, and today Song Huizong had some back pain and drowsiness.
Li Yan understood Song Huizong's thoughts very well, and said in a long voice: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from the dynasty~"
Silent.
The ministers cautiously squinted slightly, skimming at Cai Jing, the old master of Longzhong.
Just when Song Huizong, who was yawning, was about to retreat from the dynasty, Cai Jing coughed a few times and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play." ”
Song Huizong was startled, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and found that Cai Jing, who had not been seen for a long time, had actually gone to court.
"Oh~ It's Cai Qing, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?"
In front of many court officials, asking such a common question shows that in Song Huizong's heart, Cai Jing's status is unshakable.
Cai Jing bowed tremblingly and replied: "Thanks to Your Majesty's care, the old minister can last a few more years for Your Majesty and for the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Song Huizong said suspiciously: "Cai Qing went to the palace today, but there is something important to do?" ”
Cai Jing cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Northwest Supervision Army, the Duke of Jingguo, supports the army with self-respect, is rigid and self-serving, keeps private troops in captivity, and the ministers risk death. ”
There was thunder on the ground, and the court immediately fried the pot.
This news is too shocking, and the ministers cannot help but be shocked, and there is a lot of discussion.
Shaozai Wang Huang did not hesitate at all, and came out of the crowd, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
He and Cai Jing are in a group, so they naturally have to advance and retreat together, not to mention that this matter has been planned for a long time, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to break out.
"Nonsense!"
Liang Shoudao pointed at Cai Jing and scolded: "Lord Tong is dedicated to the country and His Majesty, and has guarded the northwest border pass for many years to deter the northwest departments. If the old man is not mistaken, Tong has not returned to Beijing for more than three years for a reunion. Now, but you are so slandered by Lord Tong, who is loyal to His Majesty and the court, aren't you afraid to chill the hearts of the people of the world? Your Majesty, the old minister impeached Taishi Cai Jing and Shaozai Wang Huang, and begged His Majesty to seize his office, cut his lordship, and demote him to a concubine, so as to relieve my hatred! ”
This big hat is buttoned, and Liang Shoudao is really worthy of being the old qualification of the court.
The other officials in the court all cautiously restrained their bodies, and the battle between the two major factions was not dared to interfere by ordinary people, and it was not good to be splashed with blood.
In fact, Song Huizong liked that the ministers under him did not deal with it, if the ministers were united, it would make the emperor sleep.
Although it is said that Song Huizong only knows how to linger in flowers, wine, pools, meat, and forests, he has been on the throne of the emperor for many years, and the art of controlling people is still at his fingertips.
Throughout the ages, how many emperors were mediocre? Including those emperors who are regarded as puppets, in fact, they are only erased by some historical records, as long as they are on the dragon chair, they are a pig who has been exposed to them all day long, and they should become smarter, right?
This time, Cai Jing was menacing, and the hat he gave Tong Guan was also big, so Song Huizong had to ask:
"Cai Qing, do you have any evidence?"
Cai Jing smiled slightly, "The private army raised by Tong Guan is all elite, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, send someone to Yanggu County to find out." ”
Liang Shoudao's pupils shrank, and a chill appeared in his heart, which instantly permeated his whole body
