Chapter 33
Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 33 Looking
The news of Yanjing's siege finally reached Bianliang.
All of a sudden, Bianliang was shaken.
As a national capital with a population of more than one million, the bureaucracy, along with their families and dependents, used a large part of Bianliang City. In this era, there is no such secrecy system as in later generations, and national events are very light and spread throughout the city. Bianliang is also a place where the atmosphere is open, and the people of the national capital are doubly fond of talking about state affairs. Just like in later generations, every ordinary person in Beijing seemed to be able to observe the meeting of the political bureau.
The news of the Yandi chaos has caused the people to talk about it, where can the bad news of Yanjing City being besieged come further? Fueled by people with secret intentions, this time the news spread more informatively.
Hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops rebelled under the banner of Yelu Dashi, the famous commander of the Liao people, and the main force of the Western Army was all in Yanjing City. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuanzan were still outside Yanjing City, struggling to contain Yelu Dashi, I was afraid that Yanjing City would be broken at this time. The envoys in the city broke through the siege, covered in blood, and entered the capital gate to report urgency, begging the imperial court to send reinforcements quickly
In addition to promoting the spread of news, people with good intentions also added a lot of analysis in the process of dissemination. The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is already the only army capable of fighting in the Great Song Dynasty, if it is destroyed in Yanjing City. These chaotic armies then went south, and the roads in Hebei of the imperial court had long been ruined, and the places were exhausted after a war against Yan, and it was difficult to even resist. At that time, I don't know what kind of situation the Great Song Dynasty will encounter. Traitors mislead the country, and that's it
This kind of news spread rapidly in Bianliang like a leg, causing everyone in Bianliang City to react differently.
The people don't have anything to do with it, so they naturally scold. Those children of soldiers in forbidden families all go home and cry with their relatives at home, saying goodbye in advance. If you want to save the Western Army, you can only transfer the Bianliang Forbidden Army. But now the forbidden army, what kind of battle did they fight that day, and under the generous reward, they gathered 20,000 forbidden troops and handed them over to Xiao Cai Xianggong to lead, and walked to the front, but the farthest was to Hejian Mansion. has made many soldiers of the forbidden army complain for a long time, and they regret following this experience. The Western Army has never regarded these forbidden troops as a dish. Now that even such a powerful Western army has been surrounded, and the forbidden army has been sent to the rescue, isn't that a death?
Tai students have always been concerned about national affairs, under the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty. These people in the echelon of the preparatory bureaucrats, who did not know the ups and downs of the eunuch journey, were noisy in the wine shop, preparing everyone to go to Fuque to write a letter and ask the court to banish the evil spirits. Some students also went to block the door in front of Wang Huangtongguan's mansion, and if the two of them came out, they would throw a bunch of bricks and tiles first. With a reputation, in the future, I am afraid that no one will know how to bank?
I don't know how deep the water is and what the inside story is, and the middle-level officials of the Great Song Dumen have written and talked about things. foaming at the mouth, he took out one by one Chen, and explained the strategy of how to resolve the crisis in Yanjing. Those who know the inside story also think that Wang Huangtong is afraid that it is inevitable that her husband will work hard, and there is hope for a rematch. After the Yanyun chaos started, there were many fewer people walking around in front of the two mansions, and at this time, the courtyard was even more cold.
But what makes everyone strange is that as usual, once things develop like this. The impeachment of Taiwan is on the stage, and the prime minister should resign and abdicate his position. Although this rule is broken in the hands of the husband. But now, it is also a good way for Wang Huang and Tong Guan to step down with dignity. The official family still has holy relatives for them, and they also take care of them to some extent. Why are the two still deadlocked there, and they have to make a faceless mess at the end?
Nodding secretly, who knew more about the inside story, Wang Hao went out with his back and down, and attacking his husband was considered to have offended his old man. Now they are stiff, because they are afraid that they will be retaliated by their husbands and old men after stepping down, and when the wall falls down and everyone pushes them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the official family to protect them. That's why I'm here to freeze, hoping for some miracle to happen.
The husband is old and spicy, and his means are not reduced back then. The war against Yan was presided over by Tong Guan and Wang Huang, but in the end it became Zhang Ben who they fell, and the husband's ability to take advantage of the situation, I really don't know if it is too late to go to the husband to be courteous at this time?
After the news came from Yanjing, Bianliang City fell into chaos. As the number of people talking about state affairs increased, so did the business of this liquor shop. Bianliang was originally the only city that never sleeps in this era, but now at night, the streets and alleys are even more crowded with people.
In this noisy and frenzied area, no one noticed that on the night of the second night after the news of Yanjing arrived, a small sedan chair came out of the back door of Cai Xiang's mansion in Jinliang Bridge, quietly blended into the crowd, and went east along the road street, passing through the melodious silk and bamboo, the voices of the people, and the laughter of the girl. Turn north on the East Cross Street, pass the ghost market, cross the Wren City, cross the Yanglou Street, pass the Yang Building and the Hele Building, where the most high-end enjoyment of the Great Song Bianliang City is located, until you reach the Mahang Street. This is already the west corner of Bianliang, just south of Genyue, and it is the most quiet place in Bianliang City.
The small sedan chair stopped in front of an elegant courtyard in the middle of the street, at this time, the street was already cut off from pedestrians, and at the end of the street, there were people who changed their clothes, but did not change the inner temple class and did not patrol the school. The small sedan chair stopped, leaned forward slightly, the sedan chair man helped the people in the sedan chair out, the people in the sedan chair were green shirts and slippers, wearing soft hats and heads, and white beards.
At this time, the door of this small courtyard opened gently, and a middle-aged man wearing a servant's uniform and a beardless lip silently motioned to Cai Jing and let him in. Cai Jing smiled freely, slowly climbed the stairs, and followed the middle-aged man straight into the inner courtyard, in the inner courtyard, there is a two-story small building, and there is also an inner temple class directly on duty downstairs. Seeing the middle-aged man leading Cai Jing to come, he also gave way silently.
Above the small building, there are faint lights, and the sound of a flute hovers in the meantime. Melodiously dissipated in the night sky. Cai Jing smiled faintly, didn't say anything, and followed the middle-aged man to the small building. The middle-aged man came to the door of the middle room, knocked on the door gently, and said in a low voice: "Master Cai has arrived." ”
A clear voice sounded inside the door: "Please come in, from outside the door to the upstairs, it is such a long way, and it is hard for Taishi Cai to come down." ”
The middle-aged man gently pushed open the door and Yan Caijing entered. As soon as you enter the door, you will see that the interior furnishings are elegant and rich, and there is no superfluous decoration, mostly a variety of musical instruments and a chess table, a pair of double land. There are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall, as well as Cai Jing's handwriting.
A woman in her twenties, wearing a flower-sprinkled gown, loosely tied a bun, and a few strands of green silk hung down and sprinkled on her shoulders. Under the light, the woman's exposed skin was as clear as jade. If it is a bit exaggerated to say that the word blown is on other girls, it is not enough to put it on this woman
She sat there, only looking at the side of her face, her eyebrows and lips, and her eyes delicate. is seriously pressing the palace to lead the mulberry, and blowing the jade flute in his hand low.
Just looking at this figure, it makes people want to hold it in their arms, and they are especially unsatisfied with all kinds of love. If this woman smiles at you again, you don't know where this heart will drift
This kind of woman is a stunner who is charming to the bones.
Beside the woman, a medium-sized man wore a cyan plain shirt with a round neck and wide sleeves, the sleeves of which were rolled up. The woman was being instructed to find the right tone. Hearing Cai Jing's voice coming in, he raised his head and smiled: "The master is hard, and she sits widely, the music card of the master is always wrong, I will guide her again............"
The man was in his forties, thin and well-maintained. Three strands of ink hair, the roots are breathable. Standing there femdom woman ** has to be elated. Just like those children of the Xun family who are still in their forties in the three tiles and two houses, they are still in the tiles all day long, and they are determined to be the leaders of the wandering children.
He is none other than the eighth emperor since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, inheriting the position of brother as a younger brother, and has been the magnificent son of the Great Song Dynasty for thirty-one years, the official family in the mouth of everyone in Bianliang City, and the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing to wait, but the ** woman put down the jade flute in her hand and pushed him with a smile: "Taishi is so old, he came hard, and let him wait, even if he is an official, he must respect the elderly, I will arrange tea and soup." ”
was pushed by her, Zhao Ji was not annoyed, laughed twice, and affectionately took her hand and walked closer to Cai Jing.
Cai Jing stood there and smiled calmly: "Thank you Li Nushi, I have suffered it." Although Lao Chen is older, his energy is still vigorous. He can still serve for the official family for a few years, and Lao Chen also has several grandchildren, but in front of the female history, he can't compare. ”
This woman is naturally famous in the wild history. Li Shishi, a famous man in Bianliang who left a fragrant story in history. At this time, he was twenty-three years old, which was already considered an old age for a Song woman. But where is her style comparable to those young girls? If the little mute is in front of Master Li, it is estimated that he will have low self-esteem and draw circles in the corner.
With such an identity, Cai Jing naturally wouldn't say anything in front of Master Li. made some remarks, comparing Master Li to his granddaughter, but he seemed close, but it invisibly brought the relationship between the two closer. Master Li smiled, she didn't hide her lips like other girls, as if she knew that she was already charming enough no matter what, and she didn't need to paint snakes. She saluted Cai Jing: "The little woman can't afford it, the granddaughter of the Taishi, it has to be a blessing of how much karma she cultivated in her previous life, and the little woman's life is thin, so she can only wait for the next life." ”
Cai Jing smiled: "The blessing of Li Nushi's life is not small. ”
Master Li just smiled, turned around and prepared to go out. The so-called arrangement of tea soup is just a pretext. It's just convenient for Zhao Ji and Cai Jing to talk. Zhao Ji Baba's secret invitation to Cai Jing here is not for the sake of common words
Before going out, Master Li whispered in Zhao Ji's ear: "Do you want to stay tonight?" ”
Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "But I can't, I have to go to Queen Zheng tonight, another day." ”
Master Li glanced at Zhao Ji and whispered with resentment: "I know that your heart is not here, and I won't open the door next time." After that, he chuckled again, brought a burst of incense, and went out. When he got to the door, he closed the door carefully and considerately.
Zhao Ji Cai Jingjing looked at the figure of Master Li swaying away for a moment, and waited until the door was closed, and then he came back to his senses. Zhao Ji smiled at Cai Jing and said, "I am inevitably a little ridiculous, but it makes Cai Qing's family laugh." ”
Cai Jing shook his head and smiled: "Fengheng Yuda's world is about to be decorated with a little romance. The official family is prosperous, what is wrong? Although this woman is a stunner, she is just a plaything of the official family, can she still disturb the dynasty? ”
Zhao Ji shook his head: "The master is not that kind of person............
He said a few words of gossip, sat down to himself, and suddenly smiled again: "Fengheng Yuda, good Fengheng Yuda." 60 million yuan was spent, but in exchange for a Western army besieged Yanjing, where has it been a safe life in the past few years? The cost of cutting down swallows caused an uproar in the world and made the people suffer. However, the ancestor had not yet finished his career, and I had to reluctantly follow it. What can be tolerated is tolerated. And that's how it turned out."
Zhao Jiqing slightly began to be a little angry, and on the brocade stool, he couldn't sit still. Stand up and walk a few steps: "Look at how many bullets have been put on in the past few days." The Imperial City Division came, and the people of Bianliang were so angry that it would be difficult to tolerate it."
Cai Jing bowed slightly and did not speak. Others don't understand Zhao Ji, he has been with Zhao Ji Junchen for decades, but he understands it very well. Zhao Ji likes to enjoy it casually, and he is not a person with great courage. But it definitely doesn't mean that he is a stupid uncle, an idiot, can have such a painting and calligraphy? It's nothing more than being too lazy to put his mind on complicated government affairs, as well as arguing with the bureaucratic and doctor system of the Great Song Dynasty. For balancing the power of the emperor and the power of the scholars, as well as balancing the power between the ministers, the family law of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty is here, and he is very proficient.
Now he is complaining about Wang Huang and Tong Guan here, but he can't say much. On the contrary, you have to speak according to his meaning, so as to achieve half the result. It's not easy to grasp the opportunity, but you can't miss it
Sure enough, Zhao Ji then changed his words: "But the military ministers of the Western Army are really not talking." Not to mention that Xiao Yan, the person who returned to the south didn't know the law of the Great Song Dynasty and acted aggressively. Couldn't the Western Army go to war, and couldn't it sweep away those rebellious armies? Even if this chaos is not caused by them? Raising self-respect, martial arts tricks, do I still see less? This time, Wang Huang Tongguan was replaced, and next time he used such a trick to blackmail the court, what should he do? In the hundred years of the imperial court, six or seven percent of the national funds were filled into the roads of Shaanxi, the forbidden army was relaxed, and the armies of all roads were relaxed. As a result, a group of proud soldiers and fierce generals from Zhulu in Shaanxi Province were raised."
The trick of the Western Army is the most common trick of the military ministers. For so many years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although it has always been a military force, although the military ministers are weak, they will still have a large number of means to fight. As the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, they also knew it. However, as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the time he supported Wenchen to suppress Wuchen, sometimes he would pretend not to see it, and sometimes he would help Wuchen. These are all imperial mental tricks, a means of maintaining balance. Zhao Ji has been in power for so many years, so naturally he will not know.
However, no matter what system has been established for more than 100 years, it will be loosened anyway. With the gradual formation of the Western Army's Jiangmen Group, Wenchen has some signs of being unable to suppress it over the years, for no other reason, Wenchen led the army, and the record was really a bit there. Although there are food and salary logistics means as a magic weapon, with the Western Army Jiangmen Group taking root in Zhulu in Shaanxi, it has a large number of tuntian, and there are methods such as returning and selling goods on top of it, and it is no longer a group of poor hills. In the past twenty years, the imperial court had to use the inner servants to lead the army to balance the suppression. This Northern Expedition, the transfer of the Western Army to weaken is also supported by Zhao Ji by default. Wenchen is just a division of power, and the military ministers are domineering, that is, it is fatal, for the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, who have been deeply vigilant about the history of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms since the founding of the country, this is a matter of principle.
But now, even Tong Guan can't do it. No matter how much Zhao Ji took state affairs lightly, he couldn't afford the danger of Yan Yun's loss again. For Zhao Ji, who is accustomed to living a quiet and romantic life, this war against Yan was fought for too long and the money spent was too much. For Tong Guan Wang Huang's incompetence, he also hated it. I already have a change of heart, but I am afraid of fueling the arrogance of the Western army, so I am really in a dilemma.
Since Wang Huang Tongguan can't suppress the situation, among the court, only Cai Jing still has that prestige ability. In the first battle of Fa Yan, the Great Song Dynasty was desperately poor, and Cai Jing really needed to come out to manage his finances again. Today, Zhao Ji had a secret meeting with Cai Jing at the residence of Master Li, the second wife, on Maqian Street, to see if this Master Cai was in line with his wishes.
Cai Jing knew that this answer was related to whether he could be reset. At the moment, he folded his spirits and smiled lightly: "The old minister is afraid, the military minister is so bad, the old minister has been assisting for decades, and there are also big crimes here, it is nothing more than Yan Yun's early decision, but he can't let the Western Army be too domineering, so he has to weaken and divide it." Since the official family is looking down, the old minister thinks that if he adheres to these two purposes, he will be invincible."
Cai Jing's words were vague, Zhao Ji was slightly disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "What the Qing family said is true." ”
Cai Jing smiled: "Whether Wang Jiangming and Tong Daofu go to the throne or not, this official family has a discretionary matter." Non-old ministers dare to do more lips and tongues. However, the old minister dared to assert that the military ministers of the Western Army had already torn their faces with the king general Mingtong Daofu. If the two of them don't go, it will be difficult to turn the king of the circle and the general will fall, Tong Daofu has already lost the role of suppressing the Western Army and stayed in the position, but it will make those martial ministers wary and hearty, and it will be more difficult to start to break it, even if it is Yan Yun's matter at that time, I am afraid that something will happen."
Cai Jing's words were ruthless, but they were reasonable. If Wang Hao and Tong Guan were here to listen, I was afraid that they would have to roll up their sleeves and fight with this old horseman. kept saying that he didn't dare to say anything, but he said that Tong Guan must not be in his position. After Tong Guan goes, can Wang Hao still sit firmly? The direction of the wind is no longer known, and I don't know how many people will fall into the well. The longer Wang Hao delays, the more unlucky he will be in the future.
Zhao Ji hesitated, Tong Guan fought for him for 20 years, and broke the Western Xia several times. There is no merit and hard work. Needless to say, Wang Hao served him very well. Cai Jing is getting older, and Weifu is getting deeper, so he can't do idle things. Wang Hao is thoughtful and diligent, flattering in every way. Between Zhao Ji and him, the relationship is not shallow. Although Cai Jing was right, he still hesitated: "Could it be that the imperial court is so coerced by martial artists?" I went to Wang Tong and the others this time, what will I do next time? ”
Cai Jing stood up solemnly and bowed deeply: "Official, Yanyun's matter is small. Even if the Wuchen is overpowered, even if he turns around this time, the Western Army will inevitably divide and weaken the arrogance of the Wuchen, which is really the trouble in the heart of my Great Song Dynasty."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zhao Ji perked up, looked at Cai Jing, and waited for him to come out with some means. Cai Jing really didn't disappoint this merry man, folded his two fingers, and talked eloquently. He didn't know how long he had been preparing for these words.
“………… Taizu established the country and implemented the strategy of strong and weak branches. Hundreds of thousands of elite forbidden troops shocked Huayi. Only then can the Great Song Dynasty have long-term peace and stability today. However, after a hundred years, the forbidden army has already collapsed. This time, it was easy to select 20,000 forbidden troops to follow the Western Army to the north to attack Yanyun, but when they arrived in Hejian Mansion, they never dared to face north again. If the forbidden army is like this, how can the border army and military ministers not despise the court? After the Liao State went, there were Jurchens, and the border army was fierce, and they knew that the imperial court could not leave them, so they dared to do this to hold the imperial court hostage for a long time, only afraid of the disaster of the five generations, and it is seen in the present."
Zhao Ji listened attentively and didn't say a word. I listened to Cai Jing's tone and continued firmly: "............ To tell the truth, the imperial court has not many means to restrain the military ministers of the Western Army. Tong Daofu is also handsome, has been caressing the border for 20 years, and has a deep prestige. This time he was also ruined, could it be that the people in the court, the soldiers and the Tong Daofu? The only way to deal with it is to retrain the forbidden army again and contain the western army, so that the Great Song Dynasty can achieve long-term peace and stability."
Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing, he was half a son of the market, and he was proficient in everything when he was the king of the domain. Now that he is an official, he often comes to the house. He is not a person who knows nothing about the world. The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army has long been a joke in Bianliang. The hundreds of thousands of names on the military register are neat, but in fact, two or three percent of them are real names, which is already remarkable. The forbidden army went up and down, doing business, doing odd jobs, or driving decorations for the Gaomen mansion, and simply became a slave. is even more unbearable, so they control the streets and alleys, package prostitutes and gamble, and simply mix into the Great Song underworld. There are all kinds of things, but there are no soldiers who are down-to-earth.
As for the officers of the forbidden army, they are all passed down from generation to generation, and the children of large families who grew up in the hands of women are brittle and weak, and they can't ride horses.
How can such a forbidden army be trained? Immortals can't do anything. Moreover, on that day, Yizu reorganized the forbidden army, in addition to some of the hundred battle teams in his own hands, he also collected the elite of the world in Bianliang. Now the indigenous forbidden army in Bianliang City is muddy and can't support the wall. Where in the world are there soldiers to collect? Except for the Western Army, other places are only afraid that they are worse than the forbidden army. How could the Western Army hand over its sons to the forbidden army? One sentence to prepare for the border defense of Western Xia can be sent away. If you continue to be persecuted, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit back and watch the chaos in Yandi like you are now.
He shook his head and smiled: "Cai Qing Cai Qing, this is still not possible." ”
Cai Jing smiled, but he was not discouraged: "The official family knows the inside story of the forbidden army now, and it is impossible to count on them............ But now there is a strong army in the world, in addition to the Western Army, there is also a military horse trained by Xiao Yan, which is thousands of elites, breaking Xiao Gan's retreat from Jurchen Ke Yanjing, and the combat power is so strong, I am afraid that it is not under the Western Army. Accept Xiao Yan's troops into Bianliang, use this elite, and add a newly recruited army, how can it not contain the western army and make them have a sense of awe for the imperial court"
Zhao Ji was shocked, and suddenly came to his senses. Xiao Yan's name has shaken the Great Song Dynasty. He is a greedy official, how can he not be curious about this minister who has made a legendary career in the south. But now that Xiao Yan is obviously all the way with the Western Army, how can he use it to contain the Western Army?
Cai Jing's expression was calm, and he continued slowly: "............ Xiao Yan's ministers who returned to the south were not as good as the Western Army's century-old foundation in Zhulu in Shaanxi, and Tong Daofu persecuted him too much, so he and the Western Army did all the way. The court changed course, can he not be grateful? He was a person who had no foundation in the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't have any scruples when he raised it. And put him under Bianliang's nose, are you afraid that you won't be able to control him? Xiao Yan can fight, and the Western Army is the size of the system, so Bianliang is safe, the Western Army does not dare to do attrition, the imperial court can slowly figure it out, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Zhao Ji's spirits were lifted as soon as he poured, he couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and paced a few steps hurriedly, and remembered his identity again, and immediately stood with his hands in his hands, frowning: "Xiao Yan is available?" Can it be used? Is this the end of Yanyun's matter? This court is decent............"
Cai Jing also stood up solemnly, the old man had already had a dry mouth after saying so many words. At this time, he couldn't help but fold his spirit to the fullest, and saluted Zhao Ji solemnly: "Acting here, if it is not Xiao Yan and Xijun are in the same place, who can believe it?" But why is Xiao Yan outside and the Western Army inside? Xiao Yan lived in Yanjing City, with the Western Army. If you don't take any risks, you can reap the benefits steadily............ It is nothing more than Xiao Yan who is unwilling to serve as a new man under the command of the Western Army and sink into the subordinates. This son is also an ambitious and ambitious person from the court, allowing him to compete with the Western Army in the future, how can this son not be used by the court"
Cai Jing has been up and down for decades, and people's hearts can see through. Although Xiao Yan joined forces with the Western Army, he still tried to maintain his independent status. And they also try to take the initiative. The hidden meaning behind this is clear to Cai Jing. However, no matter how old Cai Jing is, he is not a fairy. Xiao Yan was out on the road, in addition to personally mastering the turmoil. I'm also afraid that someone with a heart will his family again and again, Yanjing is coming, Lao Tzu will move his family to Danzhou, and even if he runs away with a little mute on his back, it will be much more convenient.
Although he joined forces with Xiao Yan of the Western Army this time, Cai Jing also thought deeply about the future. After the reinstatement, he will still control the government as before. You have to have the ability to master the Great Song Wuchen. Tong Guan turned out to be his half-subordinate and half-ally. After Tong Guan turned to form an alliance with Wang Huang, the balance of power between the DPRK and China was changed. Now that Cai Jing has learned a lesson, he must personally control a group of powerful military ministers
Although Xiao Yan is a civil servant, he started with military merits. It can be regarded as the lineage of the Great Song Dynasty Wuchen. Moreover, his status as a civil servant is also cheap, and he came to lead the army, which can be regarded as justifiable, and does not violate the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty. Supporting Xiao Yan is also Cai Jing's decision after careful consideration. The independence of the Western Army is getting stronger and stronger, and even Tong Guan can't tolerate it, he Cai Jing started with financial management, and he used the party to fight for his position, where can he suppress this proud army? It is not useful, and this time the official family hates the Western Army, so it cannot be involved too deeply. It is better to put on a posture in the future to contain, divide, and weaken the Western Army. Xiao Yan is the best choice.
This kind of hairy young man, are you afraid that the old man will not be able to accept it? This son is ambitious, ambitious, and it is good to start between him and the Western Army
There is another important reason, Cai Jing is a member of the bureaucratic doctor system after all. Although he has no scruples about using any means in order to fight for power, once the power is in hand. The suppression of military officials is also natural. This world belongs to officials and scholars, not you military ministers who can only fight and sell their lives
talked about how to divide the Western Army and Xiao Yan, and Cai Jing said that the aftermath was dealt with.
“………… That's all there is to it. The official family, the Great Song Dynasty is already exhausted. Huizi has been degraded more than ten times, and Hebei's henchmen want it, and after this war, it will take a few more years. The world is already in an uproar, although Fang La is flat, but the people have not changed. I really can't drag it on, even if I can deal with the aftermath quickly, I don't have a few years to slowly figure it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover my vitality. It's rare to travel in peace............ Tong Daofu's two battles of Baigou River and Gaoliang River were both fiascos, and the imperial court has not been held accountable. Tong Daofu is gone, can the Western Army and Xiao Yanyan pacify the chaos in Yandi earlier? is Tong Daofu, although the king of the county is hopeless, but he is born as an eunuch, so there is no need to choose a place outside Bianliang. is by the side of the official family, and after a few years, he will recover, and he will be rewarded for 20 years of work. In this way, what is there not to do in the aftermath? A few years later, when the vitality is restored, the official family will travel peacefully and leisurely, and it can be renewed, isn't it the best of both worlds?
………… Xiao Yan entered, and the Western Army allowed them to return to the town. Although the Western Army had the capital to land and buy, it still had to rely on the imperial court's goods to be transported to the northwest for support. In recent years, the imperial court has gradually reduced the transportation in the northwest, and there is a strong army in Bianliang. So how can the Western Army still repeat? The western thieves have weakened, and they will be separated from the western army all the way out to prepare in Yandi. It can no longer be the trouble of the Great Song Dynasty. The foundation of the Great Song Dynasty will be preserved for a hundred years in the future............ The official family, this mess is deadlocked, and the official family is asked to make a holy judgment as soon as possible."
After saying the tirade, Cai Jing took a deep swipe to the ground. And Zhao Ji's expression flickered, obviously moved by Cai Jing's words. This planning is already comprehensive, and it also takes into account the dignity of the imperial court. Zhao Ji is an emperor who is lazy in political affairs, although he is smart, but he is not diligent at all. In the past few years, it has been raising military expenses for Yan, and it has been a rebellion to square La, and the war has been delayed. The uterine also had to reduce the amount of food to make an appearance.
Zhao Ji was already deeply suffering, and he didn't know where to go for Wang Hao and Tong Guan that day. I deeply miss the days when Cai Jing was in power and served him so that he didn't have to worry about anything. If the stalemate continues, if something happens again, I am afraid that it will be a hard time in the future. In this case, it is okay to sacrifice Tong Guan. Cai Jing didn't mention Wang Huang at all, which also made Zhao Ji a little relieved. Cai Jing today seems to be all about the public opinion of the facts.
Even against the Western Army, Cai Jing also came up with a strategy. It's already the most decent in these days. If there is any foolproof plan, Zhao Ji doesn't have so much heart to worry about it.
In this world, leave it to this Taishi Cai to worry about. I just have a balance in between. Even if Tong Guan Wang Huang doesn't succeed, there are still fewer opponents of Taishi Cai in this world? Just a few more to support it.
At that moment, Zhao Ji wanted to agree, but he remembered that he couldn't let Cai Jing control his mind, so he had to make an unpredictable appearance of a sacred heart.
At that moment, Zhao Ji smiled and helped Cai Jing up with his own hands. Looking at Cai Jing's eyebrows, he couldn't help but be moved. Cai Jing is so old, and in the end, he has to count on him to clean up the mess. Thinking of that day, I was a little bit uncomfortable with this Mrs. Cai.
Zhao Jiwen said: "What the Qing family said, I already know very well. Let's think about it again............ The Qing family has really worked hard today, so let's go back and rest early. The Qing family is more healthy, and I will have to borrow more in the future............"
After some gentle words of comfort, the middle-aged servant had already come in to lure Cai Jing out. Even if it's in the second wife's residence. Cai Jing still bowed in a proper manner, and slowly retreated under the support of the waiter. Zhao Ji watched Cai Jing's back disappear from sight, turned his head and muttered silently: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan............ Can it play a role in containing the Western Army? This time Yanyun is in trouble, he is also the culprit, but there is a lot of luck, and this guy is so hard."
Cai Jing helped the waiter out, and quietly got into the sedan chair as when he came. In the sedan chair, he was also closing his eyes and meditating. After a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled: "After thinking about it, the old man can have this opportunity this time, it is all the credit of Xiao Yan's son, but I don't know what kind of scene he will be when he returns to Bianliang in the future?" I hope that if he can be honest and obedient, he will have a great blessing. Otherwise, in the land of Bianliang Dumen, anyone can crush him lightly."
In the soft whisper, Cai Jing didn't seem to have the slightest doubt that Xiao Yan would obediently return to Bianliang and be used by him. Because in Cai Jing's strategy, Xiao Yan has benefited, but I am afraid that he is already the biggest, as long as Xiao Yan is smart enough, there will be no other choice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, in the study of Wang Hao's mansion, a light is like a bean, and Wang Hao Tong and Tong are sitting silently opposite each other. There are several plates of exquisite snacks on the table, as well as a jade pot for wine. But neither of them touched the wine.
The news of the palace ban, for people of their status, has always been equivalent to leaking wind everywhere. The official family went to the first and second grandmother of the Great Song Dynasty tonight to meet Cai Jing secretly, and both of them knew it clearly. What means do you want to use to stop it. But even the biggest backer in the palace, Hidden Minister Liang Shidao, couldn't meet them anymore, and just passed the word out and asked them to prepare. What has to do with his Liang Shidao, they have all been selected. He Liang Shidao is still there, and there will always be a time to protect them in the future. If he is implicated, Liang Shidao doesn't mind falling into the well. Anyway, his status as Liang Shidao, even if Cai Jing came to power, he didn't dare to move.
When the official family went to see Cai Jing, what else could he say? The Bianliang trend is that the husband is rolled up single-handedly. How can you let go of such an opportunity? With her husband's ability and his decades of getting along with the official family, her husband has figured out the subtleties of the official family clearly. was defeated and stepped down that day, also because the prestige was getting worse and worse, and he neglected to serve in front of the officials. Now what I want is to re-phase, and I don't want to take out all my previous skills? What kind of thoughts does the official family have, all in the hands of the husband. It is better to expect her husband to turn back time and Tong Guan to easily win the war against Yan if she does not take advantage of the will of the official family.
Such news came from Yinxiang, and Tong Guan arrived at Wang Huang's mansion, speechless.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard Tong Guan say softly: "Jiangming, your hope is completely wrong." Yuwen Shutong doesn't have that ability, and this situation is irreparable............ You too, why did you believe what Yuwen Shutong said? It's better that when the bullet is started that day, you and I will join hands to avoid the position. Now I'm going to be kicked down, and I don't know what will happen to you."
Compared with Tong Guan, the commander of the unified army who has been away for many years, Wang Hao has a deeper view of the political dispute in Bianliang. It's also a little more calm. Although he was also speechless, he was not as depressed as Tong Guan.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't you rush to the doctor that day?" Now that I think about it, where does Yuwen Shutong want to save your and my status, it is nothing more than hoping to delay a little time to see if he can start in Yanjing and win over the Western Army in front of his husband. It is inevitable that you and I will step down when the time comes, and there will be many twists and turns in the reinstatement of the husband......... Needless to say, Xiao Yan, who returned to the south, couldn't get any benefits, he had good intentions, but he didn't know if he could succeed in front of his husband
………… Now it seems that I wish those turbans would make it happen. These people don't know how to be flexible, and there are always times when the official family gets bored, and they think of the benefits of you and me. My husband came to power, if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for you and me to turn over"
Wang Huangmei is beautiful and academic. But he has a very high talent in grasping people's hearts. How else could he coax Cai Jing as a confidant that day, and then attack Cai Jing behind his back, and the thoughts of the official family? When the crisis was approaching that day, Wang Hao was confused for a while, and was moved by Yuwen Shutong. At this time, he put aside a qiē, but he saw the thoughts of several people in the field transparently, and there was a taste of enlightenment.
Tong Guan blinked his old eyes, in this regard, he could only bow to the wind. He gasped: "Straight lady thief, don't care what he thinks." But you and I, what should we do? ”
Wang Hao smiled bitterly: "When it's time to be a shrinking turtle, you have to be a shrinking turtle." You are inevitable old boy, but the official family always has a response, and it will not let you go to any painful places. If the road is still there, maybe it can still stay in Bianliang............ As for me, if the official family understands, they won't suppress it too much, and they have to keep a character who can balance their husband's appearance, right? You and I have not worked in vain in the past few years, how many people have you and I promoted in the court? Just waiting to see her husband's comeback, how can he be further persecuted............ Maybe when the time comes, the end will be ten times worse than your old boy."
Tong Guan was a little relieved in his heart, but it was not easy to show himself in front of Wang Huang. I can only sigh three or two times. Suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Yan, when Xiao Yan returned to the south, he lost a certain family and had to be reused for him, but he didn't expect to lose in the end, and he was also in his body, so he couldn't let him go."
Wang Hao also smiled bitterly, and was actually a little fascinated: "I've heard you say a lot, but this son has never seen it." Those who returned to the south were bare-handed. If you can kick out such a situation, if you can get a face, you really have to take a look. ”
Tong Guan snorted: "What's there to see?" It seems that a white-faced scholar is an outlaw, and for the sake of power and wealth, he fights face-to-face with the Jurchen Tartars, and he is not straight. Yandi is now a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, I don't know how many people died in his hands, look at it, it will be the scourge of the Great Song Dynasty at that time."
Wang Hao shook his head, his face flickered in the light, and his eyes were very deep: "............ If Yuwen Shutong can't make a plan, this Xiao Yan will be of great use............"
"Useful?" Tong Guan snorted. I can't see at any point that Xiao Yan has a chance to be of great use, he can't surpass the Western Army in the army, and the Great Song Shi Doctor is also deeply disgusted with his domineering behavior. is not a person with roots in the Great Song Dynasty. At most, it is possible to attach itself to the Western Army and get a status that is neither up nor down. According to his ability, maybe he can still operate a little strength. I can't see that Xiao Yan will have a chance to be of great use.
Wang Hao smiled: "You and I suppress the Western Army, and my husband will not let the Western Army sit big." It is also necessary to correct the thoughts of the officials, and say that they must contain and divide the Western Army. The alliance between Xiao Yan and the Western Army must have been broken by her husband, so that they could contain each other. The Western Army is big and Xiao Yan is small, and Xiao Yan is a person who has nothing to do with the south, if her husband doesn't support Xiao Yan, who else can she support? His 5,000 elite horsemen, can't they be returned to the Western Army? Are you still afraid that the Western Army will not have much power? As long as her husband is reinstated, Xiao Yan's Western Army can join forces to quell the chaos in Yandi, and the imperial court will summon Xiao Yan to guard and use him to deal with the Western Army."
Tong Guan was already dumbfounded when he heard this, he couldn't think of such a deep hole in any way. To be honest, Tong Guan's status is still from Fubian for 20 years and fought with Western Xia. Later, he was deeply angry and wanted to protect his position, so he did so many stupid things and came out, and he was far behind in the political dispute.
In Wang Huang's eyes, a ruthless color flashed: "Xiao Yan's son may not be able to be restrained by his husband." What he wants, I'm afraid that my husband may not be able to give him today, Xiao Yan is the cause of defeat for you and me, maybe it will be the cause of defeat for your husband in the future, you and I are hiding patience, just wait for this opportunity"
Tong Guan's wheezing voice was heavy, and he nodded slowly after a while: "It's come to this, what else can I do?" Someone who listens to you is ............ That Xiao Yan, what does he want? ”
In Tong Guan's opinion, if he had known what Xiao Yan wanted earlier, he might not have been so miserable
Wang Hao groaned for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I can't see through it............ I only know that his current status will never satisfy him."

This night when the Bianliang tide was secretly surging. Not far from Yanjing City, a group of knights, carrying torches, left the Fuliao Army Brigade at night, crossed the Gaoliang River to the south, and went on the road in silence.
This group of knights, after crossing the Gaoliang River, will go west along the river, far away from the Fuliao Army Brigade, and then cross back to the north, heading straight to the direction of Danzhou.
The one who led this team was naturally Dong Dalang. He mounted his horse, watched as a knight got into a boat, and crossed the river silently. Under the reflection of the torches around him, Dong Dalang had a scarred face, cold as frost.
