Outside the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also the appearance of a construction site. The shocking change on the night of February 2, although there was no great burning and looting of the imperial city, but tens of thousands of hedgehogs gathered, and there were iron cavalry marching formations, tens of thousands of people rushed to escape after the rout, and the imperial road square outside the imperial city, together with the buildings of Xuande Gate, were damaged.

The imperial city is the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and since it is broken, it naturally has to be repaired. However, compared to Xiao Yan, there are more people and more money in his hands, so he grabbed the big posture and built a camp for the army outside the south gate. These repairs outside the Imperial City are pitiful.

Xiao Yan wants to organize and train a new army, and dismiss and resettle so many metropolitan control troops. At least this year, not a single word of the food and salary that should be allocated to the forbidden army will be taken less. The princes of the political hall are also really afraid that Xiao Yan will use money and food to launch these demobilized forbidden troops and what will happen again, and when hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops are disbanded in the next year, it will be difficult to reunite, Xiao Yan only has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and his own position is stable, so he can talk about reducing this huge expenditure. Although I feel that giving Xiao Yan money and food is a bit of a drink to quench his thirst, he still has to squeeze out a considerable part of the already scarce treasury, and the food and salary given to the foreign military towns cannot be less, and this is the time to win over these military leaders who can compete with Xiao Yan. The Yongning Army of the Western Army had not yet said anything, and the military salaries, grain, grass, silk, cotton and linen, and military equipment that should be allocated were all tried their best to plan for the transfer of money through Guò, and the envoys hurriedly allocated them.

Once the money is spent, the three treasurers will be able to run the mice, and the summer and autumn will be busy with financial revenues for a few months. In this way, even if the new monarch ascends the throne, he will have to repair and embellish the atmosphere of the new dynasty. But how much money can the princes of the government hall come up with? In addition, Zhao Kai, the new monarch, does not have much prestige, so that the husband who is now presiding over the political affairs hall tries his best to worship him, even if Cai Jing started by relying on Quyi to welcome Zhao Ji. I'm too lazy to do it at this time.

Outside the Imperial City. There were only one hundred and ten small workers. Lazily repairing the ground, on the walls of the imperial city, there are also a few figures carrying plaster. Compared with the hot atmosphere of the New Shenwu Changsheng Army Camp at the South Gate, it looks a little deserted.

Within the imperial city, there is another power center of the Great Song Dynasty, the political affairs hall.

It turned out that after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the power of the Great Song Dynasty was strengthened to a point that had not been seen since the founding of the country. The government hall no longer has the same authority as it used to be. But now, the power of the Great Song Dynasty has shrunk to the extreme for a while. The political hall was presided over by Cai Jing. Master all the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as Xiao Yan's military power is not touched in big and small matters, he can almost decide without saying a word in Bianliang, and if he is in a good mood, he will go to Zhao Kai to go through the motions, and if he is in a bad mood, Cai Jing will not say hello. Even when Cai Jing was the most scorching before, his power was not as strong as it is now.

Outside the political affairs hall, it was full of Wenchen's heads shaking everywhere. I don't know how many officials are waiting or asking for a meeting, or making an appointment, or receiving an official letter, or asking for instructions. Put it before. Even if they don't talk and laugh loudly, they will whisper back. It's bustling like a bazaar. But at this moment, outside the political hall, they are all looking at their noses and noses, and they are respectful and solemn as they are to the big guests, just waiting for Cai Jing's call.

If it is said that at this moment, the martial arts ministers of Bianliang dare not take a breath in front of Xiao Yan. Then the bureaucratic group of Wenchen scholars and doctors is also similar in front of Cai Jing. Cai Jing is so powerful, after a few ups and downs, they all thought that he was already a dead character, but he didn't expect to reach the peak after a shocking change that no one expected!

Although Cai Jingbiao is very restrained with Xiao Yan, an emerging minister, for the time being, he is mainly to appease and cooperate - last time Xiao Yan went crazy, tossed into an emperor and a prince, how many scholars and scholars, and cut off the heads of hundreds of Jiangmen families who have been inherited for many years. Now Xiao Yan's strength is stronger, and there are no flaws exposed for a while, and if he is in a hurry, he will go crazy again, at least no one in Bianliang can afford it.

But for the Wenchen scholars, Cai Jing is not polite. Although he never killed anyone, and he never traveled a few people to the smoke miasma of Lingnan, he also saved the lives of many Wenchen in the hands of Xiao Yan. However, there are countless confidants, purge dissidents, and remove officials. The problem in politics is often a personnel problem, and Cai Jing has done everything in this regard, without the slightest scruples. The person who offended him at the beginning directly chased down the birth text and left you to go home as the head of the Qianshou village. But anyone who still wants to be an official and a eunuch, and is reluctant to be such a scholar, how can he not bow his head in front of Cai Jing and dare not take a breath more?

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

When he was waiting respectfully, he saw a purple-robed scholar with a few Yuan Sui, coming straight to the political affairs hall. Seeing this purple-robed Wenchen, the Wenchen who was waiting outside suddenly looked like he was blown by the wind, and he fell short.

This purple-robed Wenchen has a jade-like face, three strands of ink hair, and he looks good. It was Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You. He looked satisfied, walked straight forward, and looked at the green-robed and green-robed ministers who bowed to the left and right.

Several people with enough identities approached Cai You to greet him, and they all said that they were Xiao Cai Xianggong. And Cai You just waved his hand: "You have something important to do, you can't stop for a while, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." ”

The mouth is quite polite, but the style is not even bothering to return the gift, so he wipes it from the person who is moving forward. It's almost like looking at people through the nostrils.

When Xiao Cai Xianggong walked by, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were full of slander: "Mu monkey and crown!" After your old and immortal father goes, with your ability and means, how many days can you still be beautiful? I'm afraid that people can't even swallow the bones! ”

Speaking of which, this little Cai Xianggong is indeed not treated by the people of Bianliang. Needless to say, he has always been known as a professional selling teammate. In fact, ethics is not a big deal, but in officialdom, discipline is often a floating cloud. has both the ability and the ability to keep the discipline, they are all famous ministers who can be passed down in the history books, up and down for thousands of years, and they are rare. As long as you have the ability, you can also be like a fish in water.

But Xiao Cai Xianggong has neither discipline nor ability. Whatever is in his hands, the only thing to do is to mess up. But I can't stand it, Xiao Cai Xianggong just has a good father. Originally, it was intended to be placed in the Privy Council for the purpose of the capital, but after the February 2 Shock, the Privy Council was Xiao Yan's territory. Don't get involved. Dad is the head of Wenchen's class. Power not in decades. Xiao Cai Xianggong's heart suddenly rose, and he set his eyes on the position of the chief staff member of the political affairs hall.

Cai Jing still has the wisdom to know people, and his own son is placed by his side as a deputy, and he can only involve his own family again. gave him other honorable and idle positions, and Xiao Cai Xianggong disdained to do it. I had to hang a name in the name of the official dispatch of the Inspectorate of Political Affairs, and then talk about it perfunctory. In the end, no one cares about how to correct the affairs of the political affairs hall.

Although it is not allowed to participate in large numbers. But Xiao Cai Xianggong is still quite moisturized during this time. How many people who fell or were implicated in the February 2 Shocking Incident always had to go through the camp door, or keep their origins, or keep their dispatches, or simply sell themselves and change their courts. This way often ends up coming to Xiao Cai Xianggong, everyone is holding it, a large amount of money is collected, and Mei Ji is waiting for it, and for a while, Cai You even lost a lot of thoughts about fighting for the position of the big ginseng.

He is calling for wind and rain like this in Bianliang. A word can make life, and a word can make people fall into the ground. Cai Jing didn't come to detain him much. To make the family a hundred years old. It is necessary to build a sufficient team. Now is the time to desperately recruit people, and Cai You is willing to contribute this strength to share his father's worries. As for how much benefit was collected, it was all a subsection. And isn't it all the Cai family's family business?

The person on duty outside the political affairs hall knew Cai You, of course, and respectfully welcomed him in. Cai Jing is on duty every three days, and today is the right time. In the official hall that presides over the highest government affairs of the country, a hu bed is placed. Cai Jing leaned on the Hu bed and closed his eyes and listened to the respectful replies of several governors. There are actually beautiful maids waiting for Cai Jing, or pinching his legs, or holding ginseng soup for him, spit pots, food boxes and other application utensils are readily available. Yingying Yanyan surrounded in front of the eyes of a group of purple-robed high-ranking officials. And the deputy ministers of these countries regard it as if they have not seen it, and their red and pink are like skeletons, and their ethics are comparable to those of great virtues and monks.

Several people were discussing some matters concerning the accession of the new monarch, and there was a lot of argument. Cai You came in and heard Cai Jing close his eyes and make a final conclusion.

“………… This change can no longer be delayed, and several years are compared. It's better to be Jingkang. In the past few years, there was either a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, or a hundred thousand troops were used to level Liao, and there were even changes in the imperial city. It's really not peaceful, and I'm old, but I want the world to be peaceful, and the name Jingkang is very suitable, and it can be regarded as a good mouth, that's it. ”

Several governors suddenly received the order loudly, Gao Yi and Cai Jing were closer, and asked again: "What should I do about the suburban sacrifice?" ”

Cai Jing snorted: "The scale is smaller, and how many soldiers will be used to guard the suburban festival all the way." King Yanjun will naturally go to him and say to him, and he will do his best to support it. The king of Yanjun also has a lot of things, and it is almost the same to draw two or three thousand soldiers to use for guarding. Civil and military officials, those below the seventh grade don't have to join in this excitement, just pray silently at home. As for the rewards of the suburban festivals............ This is a dilemma, first embezzle the wealth of the spring river. All rewards, Beijing official banknotes ninety percent, foreign official banknotes fifty percent. It's hard for everyone to work together. ”

Gao Yin nodded in agreement, but muttered in his heart. Since the financial difficulties in recent years, the reward of the suburban festival has always been five dollars. The foreign officials did not lose a penny this time, but the Beijing officials deducted it cleanly. My husband's intention to win over foreign officials is very obvious, and the Jingguan just has opinions, can he still make any waves under the hands of Cai Jing and Xiao Yan, two strong men?

In today's world, how many people have sharpened their heads and wanted to get into Bianliang, but now Beijing officials are not as good as foreign officials. But where does this go to reason?

Cai Jing's words were all said in a settled tone, and he didn't mention Zhao Kai, who is now in Yanfu Palace. The princes of the political hall also did not care. Zhao Kai is indeed too unfeeling, and as a king, he doesn't have any personal team. The ownership power is all for Cai Jing and Xiao Yan, and the two of them are wiped clean. And if there are any changes in the future, it is difficult to say whether Zhao Kai can still be in the ninth tier. Everyone here has nothing loyal to Zhao Kai.

Gao Dai had just finished receiving his order, when he heard footsteps, and turned his head to see that it was Cai You. The one who can go straight to the political hall without passing on the news is the eldest young master of the Cai family.

Gao Yi was very polite, and greeted Cai You: "What is the matter with Ju'an?" ”

The rest of the big ginseng didn't dare to slack off, and the older ones all stood up tremblingly, not as good as the friendship between Gao Yi and Cai You, and they all said: "Bachelor Cai is rare." ”

Cai You returned the salute with a big gesture, and walked to his father's bed, making a whispering gesture, but deliberately let everyone hear it.

"Daddy, if you have something important, please ask Daddy to retreat from everyone, and then return to Daddy carefully."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present could only talk about him left and right, pretending not to hear. Some were more cautious, so they were ready to retire to Cai Jing first. In the Cai family, which is already not a small age, the villain's appearance is depressed, and it is better to avoid the road.

Cai Jing had his eyes closed all the time, and only then did he slowly open his eyes: "All of you here are from the imperial court, and your identity is far better than yours." With the heart of the father, what should not be said to the king? Arrogant! ”

Cai You choked on his father, and could only barely squeeze out a smile. got up and said: "A military report came from Hedong, and it went straight to Xiao Yan's camp." Er has already inquired and understood, but it was Xiao Yan who sent troops into the states of Yunnei and recruited the Jurchen army! His family background is unstable in Hedong, God knows if it will hurt the vitality of the Jurchen army, this son from the south is his Hedong army and horse, how is this not great news? ”

As soon as these words came out, the air in the political hall suddenly tensed.

It is not surprising that Cai You inquired about this news, and there was no secret to protect such a major event. Xiao Yanxin's training of the Dumen Shenwu often wins the army, and it is far from being monolithic, and there are few people who bet on both sides. Cai You can't hold two taels of sesame oil in a dog's belly, and it's normal for Baba to come to offer treasure. But what matters is how much wind and rain should be involved behind this news!

The Bianliang Dynasty had just begun to stabilize and settle down, and Xiao Yan had such a major event that could shake his fundamentals. This King of Yanjun's enemies can be said to be all over the court and the opposition, and I don't know how many people want to do something to him. But the fangs of this King of Yanjun are also sharp enough, and everyone has learned it. Once you fight back, God knows how much bloodshed will be born?

Everyone's eyes fell on Cai Jing's face to see what he would say.

Cai You looked elated, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Xiao Yan's own affairs, his own family." There has been a change in Hedong, hasn't he trained the new army? Send him to lead the troops to save his belongings! What else can he say that can't be done? Bianliang was not a place where he could live in peace, so he must have been happy to push the boat down the river and go to Hedong as a town. As long as this Nanlaizi leaves Bianliang, there is always a way to slowly manipulate him! See how long he can hold on? If he refuses to leave, his belongings will be folded clean in the east of the Yunnei River, even if he stays in Bianliang, what is the use? Advancing is also death, retreating is also death, and the sky is going to die from the south! ”

Cai Jing suddenly slapped the bed hard: "Stop!" The king of Yanjun is an important minister of the country, how can you discuss it lightly? Recklessly, no more! You don't have to take up any more duties for this official dispatch, just go home and think about it behind closed doors. Don't give an order, don't go out of the house! ”

Cai You was stunned: "Daddy............"

Cai Jing waved his hand, and naturally his Yuan stepped forward and invited Cai You, who was still unclear about the situation, out. Cai You couldn't help but look back, and now he still can't figure out what he did wrong today.

Waiting for Cai You to invite him out, Cai Jing smiled bitterly: "The dog is still not a good age, and the old man is old." This Cai family will have a lot of trouble in the future............"

Several governors couldn't stand up, and they got up one after another, and suddenly there was a lot of good praise and good prayers, almost praising Cai You as a flower.

Cai Jing closed his eyes again and waved his hand to signal a few people to sit down. Everyone looked at Cai Jing and didn't dare to speak. After a long time, Cai Jing said lightly: "There is no need to mention this matter, it is up to the king of Yanjun to make his own decisions." Originally, it was the responsibility of Xifu............ If anyone makes trouble in private, what is the disadvantage to King Yanjun, the old man will not be able to get over here! Do you understand? ”

Everyone glanced at each other, got up and saluted: "Dare not obey the orders of the gracious minister?" (To be continued......)
