Even Zhao Ji can't take care of the Imperial City Division. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is now a taste of the marrow, as the saying goes, from simple to luxury, from luxury to simple difficult, after a few years of winning battles, while still being able to spend money and money, let him tighten his pants and go to the days of counting rice grains, he will never do it.

"This matter is very important, who is better to send to make it?" Zhao Ji asked with a moving expression.

"Be judged by the Holy Judge!" Cai Jingdao.

After being slapped in the face, it's time to give dates, this kind of thing, of course, is Zhao Ji's own decision, after all, it is a great benefit to go to Zhou Quan.

Zhao Ji thought about it, and the mood that had been unpleasant since hearing the drums today finally got better. However, he had a plan regarding the identity of this messenger, so he did not rush to say it.

"I'll decide on the emissary later...... You have something to play again, and you have nothing to retreat from. He spoke.

Finally waited for this sentence!

Of course, everyone is reluctant to make extraneous branches, this battle seems to be a student against the Imperial City Division, and behind the scenes, it is Zhou Quan who is on top of Zhao Kai, the king of Jia, but in essence, it is a contradiction between the power of the minister and the monarch. Zhao Ji wanted to strengthen the monarchy's power and use the secret service to spy on the ministers, while the ministers wanted to limit the monarch's power and control the bureaucracy in the bureaucracy, which was difficult for the ministers to influence.

Looking deeper, it is a slight challenge to the imperial power of the emerging capitalized aristocracy, in addition to Li Gang, Chen Dong, Chen Chaolao and others who were used as gunmen, behind them really forced Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai to give in, in fact, it was the new nobles including some clans, relatives and court bigwigs like Cai Jing. They were involved in industry and commerce, even if they were not directly involved, they were providing raw materials for industry and commerce, and they urgently needed to open new markets outside the Great Song Dynasty, which was inseparable from Zhou Quan.

Because it is not related to the root of imperial power, and there are people like Cai Jing who are very good at handling the relationship between monarchs and ministers, so this time it ended with a slight concession of imperial power. If anyone makes another extraneous branch and makes Zhao Ji turn his face and deny it, then his efforts will be wasted.

As for how to deal with Chen Dong and Chen Chaolao, Zhao Ji didn't say it, the more he didn't say it, the more people below understood that these two people were very likely to be robbed of their fame and sent back to their hometowns for resettlement.

Everyone is happy to pretend to be confused, the use value of these two guys is over, and no one will pay attention to them.

Chen Dong and Chen Chaolao didn't know that their fate was like this, seeing that the court was about to disperse, the two hesitated whether they should also go, and at this time, a warrior from the palace came up, clamped them, covered their mouths, and dragged them down directly.

Of course you won't die, but it's inevitable to suffer a little.

Chen Chaolao had experienced several political battles before and was more experienced, so he kept silent, and although he was hit twice, he did not suffer too much. Chen Dong didn't understand, he was still in high spirits just now, dragging a prince off the horse and squirting wildly, at this time he was full of ambition, so he struggled desperately, and the result was even more bitter.

was dragged out of the main hall and dragged to the side hall, and a eunuch they didn't know came over and said coldly: "Today's business is over, you go back to take care of your students, don't make more trouble, otherwise, the court and the law will be set up for you!" ”

After Chen Dong was let go, he was grinning in pain, and when he heard the eunuch say this, he spat angrily: "Phew, it was you who were put on the side and introduced traitors to make the Son of Heaven be deceived, and you still dare to tell me about the law of the country?" ”

The eunuch was also furious, pointing at Chen Dong and about to drink to make the guards beat, Chen Chaolao saw that the situation was not good, and said on the side: "Today, I am waiting for the prince of noodles, if you dare to be rude, be careful that we will beat the Dengwen drum again!" ”

The eunuch's drinking order was immediately blocked.

This is not the Tang Dynasty where the eunuchs were powerful, nor the Ming Dynasty when the eunuchs later mastered the secret service, although Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others all held great power, but it was their individuals, not the group of eunuchs.

Therefore, the eunuch said hatefully: "Let's see what happens to the three of you!" ”

Another student who has never had a sense of existence is full of resentment: the things that are in the limelight have been done by Chen Dong and Chen Chao, and he hasn't even revealed his name, but why is he hated by others, he has himself?

After everyone dispersed, Cai Jing deliberately stayed until the end.

As he expected, before he left the palace, an attendant caught up from behind: "The official family summoned the Taishi to Yanfu Palace." ”

Zhao Ji, who had already changed into civilian clothes, was spinning in circles with his hands behind his back, and Cai Jing did not give a seat after he came, which was regarded as expressing his dissatisfaction: "Taishi thinks, does Zhou Quan really have no objection?" ”

This is not a formal pilgrimage, but a private conversation, so the words can be more direct. Cai Jing bent down respectfully: "A few days ago, when Zhou Quan sent his envoy to see the old minister, the envoy said a word, and the old minister was willing to relay it to His Majesty. ”

"Oh?"

"Diqiu has no city, and the East China Sea has no owner."

When Dong Changqing said this sentence to Cai Jing, Cai Jing appreciated it very much and felt that this sentence was the key.

Zhao Ji was silent for a while: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The official family is worried about Zhou Quan's private possession of sharp weapons, so I suspect that he has bad intentions, but in this general trend of the world, how can one or two sharp weapons be influenced? If he tried to rebel, there were several things he had to worry about, he wanted food and grass, and he wanted iron weapons and armor. Those who can provide iron weapons and armor for Zhou Quan's father and son are the only ones who can do it, but Diqiu has no city walls, and there is no danger to defend. If Zhou Fu is unwilling to go to work, it means that his father and son are opposed, on the contrary, if Zhou Fu is willing to go to work, why should Your Majesty be stingy with a Marquis of the East China Sea? ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jing smiled again: "Dali Duan's family, in my Great Song Dynasty, what merit, Your Majesty is rewarded with the king of the county, Zhou's father and son run Diqiu, my Great Song Dynasty steel production has increased several times, cement production is increasing year by year, the treasury is full, Fengheng Yuda, since ancient times." The minister has to meet the prosperous age, see the Ming Jun with the ability to minister, the outside can open up the territory, the inside can enrich the people, the old minister is such a mediocre and incompetent person, but also because of the success of people, it is really fortunate, very lucky! ”

Zhao Ji heard him say this, and the corners of his mouth finally curved upward.

Indeed, the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty is unprecedentedly good, and all of this is related to Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan and his father Zhou Fu only took seven or eight years to make the steel and cement output of the Great Song Dynasty grow upward.

This father and son have contributed a lot. If there is really no rebellion, it seems that it is not impossible to be knighted as a prince.

"If you go to Zhou Fu Zhili's position as a national supervisor, should you take any other position?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"It is not suitable to return to Beijing for the time being, in the opinion of the old minister, the Ministry of Industry can raise the official affairs of Changping on Jingxi Road in Beijing, and the station will be in Yingtianfu."

Cai Jing's idea is good!

At least Zhao Ji thinks so, although Zhou Fu has a high title, his rank is not high, and now he is worshiped as a waiter of the Ministry of Works, which is a high-ranking official from the third grade, and it can be said that he is among the ranks with the highest rank in the imperial court. He was promoted to the post of Changping official affairs on Jingxi and West Road, in charge of the currency along the way, price stabilization, workshops, mines, bridges, ferries, water conservancy dams, and many other miscellaneous matters, but he did not directly manage civil affairs, and he did not have military power in his hands.

It can be said that this suggestion not only took into account Zhao Ji's worries, but also did not make Zhou Fu feel that the emperor was too harsh on him.

"If it's not a master, you can't come up with this strategy." Zhao Ji sighed, compared with Cai Jing, Wang Hao is still too tender, and if he wants to replace Cai Jing with Wang Hao, it seems that it will take another two years.

"This is Zhou Fu, Zhou Quan's side, and he must say otherwise." Cai Jing reminded.

"I know, but who do you think is appropriate?" Zhao Ji returned to the court, and the question he asked but Cai Jing didn't answer.

Cai Jing still refused to answer, Zhao Ji urged a few times, and he reluctantly said: "If you are not close to Your Majesty, you can't do this, one is to show Your Majesty's sincerity, and the other is An Zhouquan's heart." Previously, Zhou Quan took his mother privately, and someone must have overdone it, which made him uneasy. ”

Zhao Ji snorted, to put it mildly, it was the waste of the Imperial City Division, and the matter of bribing the superintendent was too rough.

He thought about it, the person close to Cai Jing said, he himself is old, obviously he can't be a messenger, Wang Hao and Zhou Quan don't agree, and he can't be a messenger, Tong Guan is not in Beijing, and Liang Shicheng can't get out...... In this way, the only one who can be a messenger is Cai You.

"How is Ling Lang?" He asked.

"Dogs can't do it, use it as a tool, and can't show the closeness of the official family." Cai Jingdao.

"Why aren't the people around me close...... Oh, I see! Zhao Ji chattered again, and suddenly realized.

Who are those close to him?

Previously, he was thinking about the close ministers around him, but if the close ministers around him were suitable, why didn't Cai Jing say it directly?

Because what Cai Jing really recommends is not these close ministers, but the prince!

No matter how close the ministers are, where is it more suitable than the emperor's close relatives. It's just that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty can't go out of Beijing when he is idle, at least in Zhao Ji's own memory, after Emperor Zhenzong, it seems that there has never been.

This is an opportunity!

Zhao Ji understood what Cai Jing meant, the person who was sent out would of course not be the prince, the prince is the capital of the country and cannot go out of Beijing, so the biggest possibility is Zhao Kai. Cai Jing's meaning is to let Zhao Kai be the messenger, and the matter was provoked by Zhao Kai, and finally ended by Zhao Kai. If Zhao Kai does a good job, and Zhou Quan's relationship with him turns from cold to good, then Zhao Ji wants to change to Prince Yi, and there will be a strong reinforcement outside.

On the contrary, if Zhao Kai did a bad job and missed this opportunity, Zhou Quan completely supported the prince, then he would not be able to complain that Zhao Ji would not change the prince.

From a politician's point of view, there is nothing wrong with Cai Jing's hand, but Zhao Ji, from a father's point of view, is a little unbearable in his heart after all.

He still hopes that no matter whether he changes to the prince or not, the relationship between Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai can be harmonious, at least not to brew a tragedy of fratricide.

It was a really difficult decision.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ji didn't make up his mind, and seeing that Cai Jing seemed to be a little tired, he could only release Cai Jing first and let him go back to his house to rest.

After hesitating alone for a while, Zhao Ji finally made a decision.

"Summoning King Jia here." He instructed the chamberlain, and at the end, he added, "Only King Jia will be called." (To be continued.) )
