Chapter 159: The Wind Rises (1)

The city of Bianliang has always been the most well-informed.

It has been more than a year since the war was settled, and the winter football tournament has entered the winter break. The days became as usual and a little boring in the deep winter of the sixth year of Xuanhe.

I don't know what day it started, and an amazing news spread quickly. In the blink of an eye, every corner of this huge city is clearly known. Tea shop and wine shop, Taixue study, official office, streets and alleys, small households. It's all rumors, discussions, panic, anger, calculations, and wait-and-see.

When this news spread, Bianliang was shaken to the letter!

On the eastern border of the river, suddenly there were Liao remnants and Jurchen military horses entering the Kou. Breaking the border prefectures and counties, Taiyuan Mansion has been placed under martial law. It turned out that the Shenwu Changsheng army, which was used to prepare for the side, was cut off by Wu Min because of appeasement, and the army had no will to fight. One was besieged, and the other retreated from the Daizhou camp.

Taiyuan Mansion, an important town in Hedong, has opened its door. If you get Taiyuan Mansion, you will face the Gyeonggi Zhulu. In winter, the Yellow River froze. From Hedong to Kaifeng Mansion, it is almost a flat river!

The princess of Shu of Liao, with the jade seal of Liao, led the 100,000 elite soldiers left by Yelu Yanxi. Under the banner of recovering the country, he was ready to attack Hedong and approach Bianliang. Revenge for the Great Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance to capture Yanjing and destroy Liao.

The princess of the Liao Shu Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Jurchens to take the land of the Song people to re-establish the Liao State Sect. Exhaust the wealth of the Song people to marry the Jurchens. And borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers. It turned out that the land and population of the Liao people had all been given to the Jurchens. The restoration of the Liao people is on the land of the Song people!

The Shenwu Changsheng army is powerful, and the people in Bianliang already know it. The entire Western Army could not defeat the remnants of the Liao army entrenched in Yanjing. In the end, it was the Shenwu Changsheng Army that came out to recover Yanyun. On that day, the Shenwu Changsheng army entered the city to show off its might, and its military appearance was seen by the entire Bianliang. The capital of a strong army is already the world's own

Now even the Shenwu Changsheng Army is not an opponent, what army and horses can stop the remnants of the Liao people who are deep in? Is it possible to pull out the Western Army again? Or pull the forbidden army in Bianliang City out to deploy defenses along the Yellow River, and fight desperately with the remnants of the Liao people and the Jurchen Tartars?

Even if the Western Army comes out to Qinwang, those masters of the Dumen Forbidden Army can actually come in handy. But the soldiers were in trouble, and they burned in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone can no longer deal with this qiē with a relaxed mindset as if they were looking at the Yanyun war thousands of miles away. And in war, there are winners and losers. It's better to say if you win, but if you lose. Didn't the Khitan and Jurchen Tartars rush straight to Bianliang City?

How did the imperial court choose the commander of Hedong Road, not only could not inspire the army, but let a strong army collapse in such a small uproar?

The people of the Great Song Dynasty all knew that they were noble and martial, and they were all accustomed to it. In daily life, you may not be able to look down on military men. But now treating these soldiers lightly endangers everyone's lives, this is not possible!

The common people just cursed a few words. Those who are eunuchs for officials know more about proportion, and they also know more about the inside story. It's not going to be like that. But the ones who are most likely to have accidents are those students who are idle in Bianliang every day.

These are all talents stored for the future of the country, and they feel that they are qualified to guide the country. As long as you do things yourself, the world is not enough to be peaceful. It's a youthful event again. I can't travel in winter, and I don't have a ball game to watch. There are seventy-two main stores every day, which is really boring.

Now that such a fuss suddenly came out, and everyone immediately started to shoot the case. When the princes are in charge, they are scolded so much that the dogs are bloody. Every day, he gathered with a sword in the wine shop and tea shop, and he was very impassioned. Some people have already begun to prepare to knock on the book in tandem, asking the saint to punish the commander of Hedong Road, select a handsome general, and quickly restore the lost land on Hedong Road.

The proposed candidate for the commander of Hedong Road was sprinkled with a number of people. Xiao Yan was among them. The ranking is not low. After all, this is the famous marshal who once led the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army and made Pingyan's exploits!

Wu Min also has a mansion in Bianliang, and these days the wall and door are full of posters scolding Wu Min. The family members in the mansion came out to tear up, but they were caught by a large group of students who were ambushed on the side, beaten severely, and then returned victorious. It seems that the remnants of the Liao people and the Jurchen Tartars who invaded Hedong Road can only be vulnerable to this fist.

Wu Min stayed in Jingzhong and his family was so frightened that he could only close the door. They put their own house in prison.

Under the fierce chaos, there are still some good things literati, I don't know which tendon was scratched, and they actually made a few poems to sing the princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom.

The words are gorgeous, the dictionaries are elegant, and the meaning of the words is ambiguous and lingering. The big is magnificent. It was also popular for a while. The golden branches and jade leaves of the previous dynasty are really a good object for gossip.

All in all, Bianliang City couldn't sit still because the news was spreading. The whole city was boiling, up and down, staring at the center of the imperial court and the Zhao official's family. Let's see if we can come up with a way to deal with it!

People's hearts have fluctuated, and in the past ten years, they have reached the extreme.

This happens, first of all, because Bianliang City is really not a secret place. What important moves did the imperial court make. The morning court meeting was over. In the afternoon, it became a topic of conversation on the streets. The proportion of civil servants in this city is so high that there may be leaks everywhere. And as a native of Bianliang, what kind of qualified capital resident is a person who doesn't like to talk about the affairs of the imperial court?

The second is that there are no black hands without Xiao Yan during this period, and he uses extravagant characters such as Zhang Xian and Zhang Langjun. And then use the means of peripheral gambling and other big profits. It has been preliminarily in the entire Bianliang market. As one of the new godfathers of Bianliang, Zhang Langjun is already very influential in the streets and alleys. is a high-ranking family, and it may not necessarily delay Xiao Xianmo as a guest. Zhang Langjun is moving forward with pride. But who doesn't want to get a team to squeeze into the sub-league of the city? To form a team, you have to have players. Zhang Langjun spoke, what kind of player do you want?

And gambling is also a big profit, and it is cheaper to get some inside information from Zhang Langjun.

There may be trouble in handing over Xiao Yan, but Zhang Langjun, who is dressed in splendor, is an idol-like figure in Bianliang City. Appearing side by side with him in the tile, the maidens must serve with enthusiasm. No matter from which point of view, this Zhang Langjun has to accept it.

After Zhang Xian, he slightly affected public opinion in the market. The Shenwu Changsheng Army is said to be innocent and more aggrieved. Now the situation is tense, and the invading enemy is stronger. It couldn't be easier.

The development of Bianliang City to such a point is actually equivalent to having its own life and will. The emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have not left Bianliang City since Zhenzong. If you want to know a little about the people's feelings, in addition to the rewards from all over the country, it is the Bianliang folk public opinion that the Imperial City Division probed

Compared with the news that other places with a rustic atmosphere bear the reward, Zhao Ji, the official of today, prefers to be interviewed by the Imperial City Division, with the sentiments of Bianliang.

As an emperor, Zhao Ji is actually just a Bianliang in his vision. No matter what the rest of the entire Great Song Dynasty looked like, as long as the Bianliang City under his feet was magnificent, he felt that he was the holy monarch of the previous generation. What is unstable in Bianliang, he is more concerned than the border prefectures and counties being broken and Jiangnan speaking out about the people's uprising.

The public opinion of Bianliang influenced by Xiao Yantong guò Zhang Xian may not be useful to others. But for Zhao Ji, it will still come in handy.

All in all, the matter in Hedong came, and Bianliang was shaken!

There is a lot of turmoil in the market, and there are all kinds of strange things. The center of the imperial court, which maintained the operation of the Great Song Dynasty, certainly understood the inside story.

The report from the civil and military forces on Hedong Road was transmitted to Bianliang two days ago. Han Shizhong and Jiang Wei, deputy chief of the forbidden army stationed on this road, jointly reported first, and Wu Min, the commander of Hedong Road, came later.

In fact, some time ago, there were already some rumors in the capital. Wu Min's handling of the Shenwu Changsheng Army is something that everyone acquiesces into, and no one in the court will look for Wu Min here. It is also a matter of course that the morale of the army is a little unstable, and some incidents arise in the border areas.

The people in the DPRK and China have a tacit understanding and don't take it too seriously. It's nothing more than the wisdom of some foreign enemies to enter the prison and borrow the thief's self-respect. Everyone has been dealing with the Western Army for so many years, and they have long been mentally strong in this area. Compared to the Western Xia, which is still a stealing enemy country, the remnants of the Liao people, what kind of thing is this? Can you still scare the princes in power?

Moreover, everyone still expects that the Shenwu Victorious Army will make things bigger, and wait until the sacred heart is completely lost. It is self-destruction. The collapse of the Shenwu Changsheng Army will inevitably implicate Nanlaizi. Among the capitals, there are not a few people who hate him so much!

As soon as Nanlaizi fell, he had to implicate Jiawang Zhao Kai. This is another huge political article. In addition, the great interests in the hands of the Nanlaizi -- this is a major military matter. In the border area east of the river, there are really remnants of Liao people, and it really breaks a state and county, what is the matter?

Everyone who is qualified to participate in this bureau is secretly watching and running in private. Zhao Kai, the king of Jia, who felt bad, simply cut off contact with Xiao Yan and closed the door in his own palace, thinking hard about how to get out of this incident. There are also some people who are gearing up, discussing how to divide up the huge financial resources in Xiao Yan's hands.

No one thought about Xingwenhe East Road and let them really return. Is it true or false that there are police in the border areas? If it's true, what about the truth of the border thief? The person in charge is known as the princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom, is it true? In the end, the Shenwu Changsheng army was defeated because the soldiers were scattered and unwilling to contribute. Or is there a situation of indulgence? The Jurchens also entered the prison, is this more important news true?

After the intensification of party struggle since Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, the unprecedented chaotic behavior. As an empire, the Great Song Dynasty's normal ability to deal with sudden situations was almost paralyzed. Not to mention the most shocking thing is that now, as the highest military order and military and political institution of the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council of Xifu has undertaken the decree from the privy envoy to the privy deputy envoy to the privy council, and it has been vacant all the way. Even if there is a Privy Council Vice-Chancellor, he can't control the affairs of the Privy Council!

This kind of numbness that can make people of insight cry did not end until the ominous news reached the capital two days ago.

The princes of the central part of the capital gate and even the sage Zhao Ji, who almost didn't know that there was something going on in Hedong, was completely shocked.

The fall of border prefectures and counties is already a sure thing. The defenders of the three passes of the Shenwu Changsheng Army were surrounded, and their survival was unknown. Due to the poor transportation of grain, the defenders of the Shenwu Changsheng Army of the Daizhou Battalion retreated until Taiyuan Mansion could be considered to be able to gain a foothold. Of course, Han Shizhong was in the name of food, and he did not say that the court had cut off the whole army, but the resentment between the lines could not be more clear.

Taiyuan, the mainstay of Hedong Road, actually became chaotic. There are pacification envoys, transport envoys, warehouse envoys, constitutional envoys, garrison forbidden troops, archers and native soldiers, and regimental training and strength. I can't even maintain law and order! Countless goods were lost, and hundreds of people were killed or wounded. Several places of grain were burned (this is to promote Changping to use troops to move the east road of the river to accumulate reserves, in fact, it has long been in deficit, taking advantage of the rebellion in Taiyuan Mansion to rush the account. )

If it weren't for the fact that the Shenwu Changsheng Army was moving to Taiyuan Mansion to get food, it would have been ordered to enter the city to quell the chaos. However, there are remnants of the Liao people who have been invading the Liao or the Jurchen army horses and horsemen who have been riding here, and they easily captured the most important Hedong Road of the Great Song River East Road!

If Hedong Road continues like this, it may collapse completely. No matter who the enemy is, he will easily press to the edge of the Yellow River. Crossing the frozen Yellow River is a flat river, which can reach Bianliang.

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty was originally the most strategically significant burden.

When the war with Liao was tense, he planned to move the capital several times. Once the alliance and peace were made with the Liao people, they forgot about this matter again. Now that the old things have been picked out again, everyone is in a hurry, and they find that the prosperity and wealth of Bianliang are really fragile!

Hedong affairs must be dealt with, but how to deal with it?

The first thing that matters is the soldiers and horses, is it possible to pull out the Western Army again? Mobilize the Western Army to quell the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally make a northern expedition to Yanyun. The imperial court has already spent a lot of effort and a lot of money. In addition to the fact that there are no soldiers and horses, it is also planned to weaken the Western Army, which is already a little bit big.

This time, the Western Army struggled back easily, and there were already some complaints that they would no longer come out of Shaanxi Zhulu. If you want to transfer them out again, you don't have half a year and a year to mobilize, so don't even think about it. What was the situation in Hedong at that time, there was no need to ask. Maybe the enemy has already forced to the city of Bianliang!

(The first time in history that the Jurchens went south, although they were the kings of Qin, there were no conditions to talk about, and every qiē was simple.) The Western Army also arrived quite late. It's not all out of the army, at most half of it comes. After the Jurchens besieged Bianliang, the Western Army left Guandong and arrived at Bianliang. After the Jurchens withdrew from the siege, Qinzong, who took over the position of his father, lightly threw the western army in the direction of the besieged Taiyuan, and the main force was defeated in the first battle. The Jurchens quickly counterattacked, and when they surrounded Bianliang for the second time, the rest of the Western Army basically could not be mobilized. These remnants later became the Wu army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the remnants of Shaanxi, together with Sichuan, were the de facto feudal towns of the remnants of the Western Army.

Is it necessary to mobilize the forbidden army? Until the last resort, the princes of the imperial court did not have the slightest intention of using the capital gate forbidden army. With these masters, it is not to defend against the enemy, but to seek death at home. As for the Yongning Army, its strength was already weak and it was still recovering. Hebei's defense is also of paramount importance. I can't pull it out. If it is really the Jurchen Tartars and the remnants of the Liao people who enter the Kou together, I am afraid that the Hebei Zhulu will have to reinforce the army in person!

The soldiers are on the go, and after thinking about it, they still have to fight the idea of the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army.

In Han Shizhong's recital, the hint could not be clearer. Because since entering Hedong, the top and bottom have been treated poorly. The army had no fighting spirit, so it retired to Taiyuan. If the status of the Shenwu Winning Army can be maintained, there is still room for maneuver in Hedong affairs. The Shenwu Winning Army can fight alone. Although success or failure is blunt, it can always block the enemy and let it not pass the Yellow River and reach the city of Bianliang.

The councillors all felt discouraged. Although the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army can be used, it can at least buy time for the imperial court to deal with the situation. But it really doesn't taste very good. Such an unruly military horse can't be dealt with! The important ministers planted in their hands have been counted all the way from Tong Guan and others, and I don't know how many there are!

In addition to soldiers and horses, there are also military spending.

The Great Song Dynasty military horses, as long as they start a war. The cost is astronomical. It turned out that the imperial court sent the Shenwu Changsheng army to the border, and gave hundreds of thousands of yuan. If you let the Western Army know, it is estimated that Big Tooth will be able to laugh off.

Once you have to fight a war with a Shenwu Changsheng army, this food and salary can no longer be dealt with in this way.

The huge deficit that the imperial court has pulled down in the past few years is far from being filled. Relying on Xiao Yan's changing tricks to make money, life is a little better. However, for such a huge empire, the financial plans that Xiao Yan should serve are basically a drop in the bucket. There are too many people who share the profits, and some Zhao Ji refuses to take out the income from the inner treasury. can really subsidize the three divisions, the number is still

According to common sense estimates, this is at least tens of millions of military spending. Rao is the local accumulation energy storage on Hedong Road to make up for a little, and the third division of the center must at least come up with more than half, six or seven million figures running upward. Where is the imperial court going to get this money out? But in the event of a war, rush to print a new banknote as a military salary, but those soldiers don't recognize it. And it is necessary to issue additional banknotes, and as soon as the market hears this news, I am afraid that the banknote market that has been struggling to maintain will collapse immediately.

Although he does not have modern financial knowledge, he still knows this simple financial management principle. Compared with the Republic of China, which is said to be extremely exemplary in later generations, so many international students, doctoral, master's and master's Tex can issue fiat currency gold yuan coupons with their eyes closed.

Under the shock, the two most important matters of military and financial affairs to deal with the Hedong accident still did not have a result. When the princes of the Tao only had contradictions to hand in, they waited for Zhao Ji's sacred heart to be arbitrary.

In fact, for these old foxes, it is not impossible to leave the most difficult decision to Zhao Ji to do. When the time comes, the family will have less responsibility. Now that the court is full of party disputes, can you still afford to hand over the handle to political enemies in such a major matter?

Everyone pretended to be stupid, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

This Shenwu often wins the army, this son from the south, I am afraid that it will turn over again. But they don't know who will be unlucky. This son from the south is as hard as a life!

But for Zhao Ji, this determination is not easy to make. Under the anxiety, he could only be patient, and summoned important ministers into the forbidden place every day to ask for the right thing.

But for these important ministers, there are too many things to consider. How can we come up with a clear attitude within two days? No matter how Zhao Ji asks for advice, he is not at the point.

In the center of the imperial court, the atmosphere has been tense these days. is forbidden, and there is no longer the singing and dancing of the past. Everyone has a premonition that a big storm is brewing, but no one can say what this storm will be!

Cai Xiang's mansion on Jinliangqiao Street outside the inner beam gate.

At this time, a team of Yuan accompanied the guards, surrounded by the carriages and horses that had changed into winter clothes, and hurriedly came.

The Prime Minister's guard of honor is very large. Pedestrians on the road have avoided it.

The carriage and horses stopped outside the gate, and several clever maids from the inner courtyard had already come out, and four strong men waited respectfully with a chariot.

With the support of several delicate maids, the current prime minister Cai Jing got out of the car.

On weekdays, Cai Jing, who has always paid attention to health preservation and is extremely well maintained, has always waved his hand and retreated. I'd rather walk a few steps at home, evacuate and evacuate my muscles and bones, and slowly shake into the inner house.

But today, he has a tired face, his loose eye circles are a little blue, and the layers of wrinkles are denser than those of the next day, and the color of decay is even more obvious. He glanced at the chariot and sat down without saying a word.

The four little guys stood up as soon as they screamed, their upper bodies did not move, and they steadily carried their steps inside. Several handmaidens were busy serving tea and soup, and opened a feather fan to cover Cai Jing from the wind. Tingting followed closely inside.

Cai Jing, who was afraid that there were no seventeen or eighteen people around him to serve, entered the Yimen, and Cai You was already busy descending down: "Father, see the child." Because the father told the child not to disturb his ears and eyes when he came, he could not greet him outside the door, and asked the father to forgive his sins. ”

Cai Jing waved his hand weakly, signaling that he understood.

Cai You hesitated, then stepped forward and asked, "What is the matter with the father calling the child?" ”

Cai Jing sighed and said in a weak voice: "You are also an important minister who once participated in political affairs, but you still can't hold your breath like this." If there is anything, let's talk about it inside. There is no rush at this time. ”

Dad said this, Cai You still dared to say anything. respectfully followed Cai Jing's side, and pretended to take a hand, making a pure filial piety. If it weren't for the occasional peek at the delicate maids around Cai Jing, this table would have been able to score a full score.

waited until Cai Jing was sent in, and the concubine waited for Cai Jing to change her clothes, and sent Liao ginseng soup to Cai Jing to replenish her vitality. After a little massage and relaxation. Cai Jingcai, with the support of the two maids, slowly walked to his study.

Cai You didn't dare to follow Cai Jing into the inner room, so he waited in the study, and he was a little anxious at this time. Hearing Cai Jing's footsteps, he hurriedly straightened his complexion and respectfully welcomed Cai Jing into the inner study. He took the dragon group tea soup in the hand of the maid, tried the heat with the back of his hand, and served it with both hands. took a step back, bowed his back and waited for Cai Jing to speak.

Cai Jing looked at his son, sighed softly, and said, "Do you know about today's Hedong incident?" ”

The war against Yan has been settled for these days, and Cai You is still idle. In the government and the opposition, it seems that they have forgotten that this Cai Jing's son, who has entered Hanlin and has been a high-ranking official in the position of governor. Cai You is the hottest person again, where can he stand this. Every day, I drill pipes in the middle of the capital gate, and find a way to recover.

However, Liang Shicheng, who is now in charge, ignored him because he returned to Cai Jing's sect again. Cai Jing is the prime minister, and the position of the political hall is also full, so it is impossible to vacate his position to his son. The old party is gradually being used, and it is impossible to get together with Cai You from any point of view. After all these days, it turned out to be fruitless.

Although there was no result in the recovery, Cai You's news was still well-informed. The matter in Hedong is so big, it will inevitably implicate the great changes in the political situation in the DPRK and China, how can he not care about it?

For a while, he also had his mind to seek the position of Hedong pacification envoy, and if he made military achievements, it was logical to turn the center and re-enter the two prefectures.

But think about the danger of the soldiers in the war against Yan, and the unlucky appearance of his own family after being implicated by Tong Guan. immediately gave up this thought, and swore that he would never be an official in the border again in this life.

Cai Jingdong asked, his thoughts turned quickly, and he replied respectfully: "How can the child not know?" The east border of the river fell, the city of Taiyuan was in turmoil, the civil and military were not in harmony, and the Shenwu army was often useless. There seems to be a danger of a rupture. My father has been working hard recently, and he must have discussed this matter with the saint. ”

Cai Jing asked slowly: "Who do you think will benefit the most in this matter?" ”

Cai You thought about it carefully and knew that his father was taking the school exam. He also vaguely felt that his idle days would not be too long. So the answer has to be doubly cautious.

"Come and think about it, that is, the son of the south? It turned out that the news of the instability of the Shenwu Changsheng Army came, and he was the one who suffered the most. But when it got to such a point, I had to borrow him......,...... The officials of Hedong Road are also useless. Taiyuan Prefecture can be messed up at home! Now besides relying on the barrier of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, who else can you rely on? Since you want the Shenwu Changsheng army to die hard, you can't move the south to mess with the army............ This Nanlai son is really hard, so he can still get the lottery! ”

Cai Jing nodded, and was quite satisfied with Cai You's answer: "In addition to this, there is also a financial plan." Since the use of soldiers is to spend money like running water. Now that the rest of the DPRK and China can't be moved, they are counting on Xiao Yan to be able to squeeze out a sum of military spending. Both military and financial matters have to be borrowed from him, and he is naturally the one who benefits the most from this Hedong matter. ”

Cai You smacked his lips, jealousy and resentment mixed in his heart. Needless to say, jealousy is not to mention, Xiao Yan is booming again, and his family is still struggling to recover, and the situation is too different. When Xiao Yan returned to the south, what was his status, and what was Xiao Yan's status? It's a world of difference. But now in Bianliang, ten out of ten people know that he Xiao Xianmo, his little Cai Xianggong, how many people still remember?

If you want Xiao Yan to work, you have to give him a lottery. His official grade is already too high, to the fourth grade. At this age, there is no way to rise. It's only about the sending. He is already the deputy governor of the Privy Council, and if he takes another step, won't he be able to barely compete with important ministers such as the governor and the governor? Although it has become a common thing under the rule of a saint today, it is really too appalling for Xiao Yan to do so.

Annoyed, but his own family once won over Xiao Yan at the banquet of the three kings Zhao Kai. wants Xiao Yan to form a party with his family and make a comeback. At that time, it was to see Xiao Yan's scenery, and he connected with the three kings Zhao Kai, which was not a way out. But Xiao Yan didn't give him this face, which immediately made Xiao Cai Xianggong have a bad impression of him, and he was also angry. Although Xiao Yan was jealous again, his voice and light fell down at once, and the three kings Zhao Kai also followed him out of his mansion. Cai You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but his anger towards Xiao Yan is still the same as always, and it is by no means easier.

For Cai You, a pure villain, who he hates, he will always remember, and it will be difficult to shake it.

But no matter how jealous and angry you are, what can you do? After all, he can't pull out a Shenwu Changsheng army, and he can't go into battle in person to recover Yanyun. He didn't have the ability to make money from scratch, and sent a large amount of money to Zhao Ji's treasury in the unit of one million.

After feeling uncomfortable for a while, Cai You reluctantly pretended to be distracted: "That's it, that's it." Let's see if this son from the south can clean up the chaos in Hedong............ Do you want to let him go out of Hedong? ”

Cai Jing shook his head: "It is not possible to go out to Hedong for the time being, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army is outside." Xiao Yan must be included. It's not that there is any more great change, Xiao Yan can't get out of this Bianliang step............ Even if he borrows Xiao Yan again, the saint is still between the two, and it is still difficult to decide. ”

Cai You couldn't help but ask again: "Why?" ”

After asking, Cai You scolded himself for being too stupid. Why is Zhao Ji hesitant, isn't it the previous reasons? Xiao Yan's background, his influence on the Shenwu Victorious Army, and the financial resources he now controls. All of them are taboo factors. After all, Zhao Ji is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he still uses the ruling law of the Great Song Dynasty. How can people like Xiao Yan always stand tall and always occupy such an important position? Not to mention that he has to go one step further and gain more momentum.

Cai Jing shook his head lightly again, and said softly: "Saints always have to make decisions, who else can they use at this moment except to push Xiao Yan out?" No one is willing to jump into this fire pit lightly, and Wu Min sees that it is difficult to settle down in Hedong's pacification position. But who is willing to take his position and get along with such arrogant soldiers as the Shenwu Victorious Army? If something is slightly wrong, it will be Wu Min's end ............"

Cai You finally got a little impatient, and today Baba summoned himself. Is it just talking about Xiao Yan? You must know that my little Cai Xianggong's affairs are not small! In that case, it is better to take a break. Let's see if there's any other way to go. This matter will inevitably be up and down in the bureau, can't my little Cai Xianggong get a position?

He reluctantly bowed, trying to maintain a respectful attitude.

"Father, what he teaches today, the child has benefited a lot. The situation in Dumen can be seen more clearly. Recently, the child will be cautious in his words and deeds, and will not be involved in the chaos in front of him. The father is also tired, so he should rest early, and the child will come back another day to save the father............"

Cai Jing snorted and raised his hand to point at Cai You: "When will you be able to go deeper and be more patient?" The old man is already in his last years, this Cai family is rich and noble, how can he rest assured that he can rely on you to maintain it? ”

Cai You lowered his head and was silent. Anyway, he has already counted Cai Jing as accustomed to it. I don't feel anything about it now. On that day, he carried out his father's door, got together with Wang Hao, and finally let Cai Jing take the throne. It's not that there are some sons who are rebellious against Lao Tzu. Xiao Cai Xianggong is still a young middle-aged man............

Cai Jing barely calmed down, and said softly: "Today's discussion is related to you." Hedong must use troops, and the cardinal government can no longer be vacant. Moreover, Xiao Yanshu's deputy capital can't go to the position of the deputy capital, and the financial affairs of the forbidden army still have to rely on his dispatch to continue to sort out. Someone has to press on his head............"

Cai You was already overjoyed: "What does my father mean, is it that the saint wants the child to lead the West Mansion?" There is no reason for this and this, and there is no reason for this system............"

He said this well, the father leads the East Mansion and the son leads the West Mansion. It is impossible for any emperor to tolerate this happening.

But Cai You said that he didn't believe it, and he looked happy. But he couldn't wait to snatch the position of the privy envoy with a hand in his throat. According to Xiao Yan's words, Cai You also can't hold two taels of sesame oil in his dog's belly.

Cai Jing glanced at him, and said angrily: "Naturally, I won't let you lead the West Mansion!" One is that the system is violated, and the other is that you are not qualified enough. It's just that one term of governor and political affairs, Hebei Zhulu appeased the deputy envoy and finally offended, and there was no foreign appointment order. How can I get to the position of Privy Councillor? The privy envoy is still in vain, and today Liang Shicheng recommended Li Gang and Li Boji as the deputy head of the Xifu, and pushed you to undertake the decree for the Xifu. The saint had already nodded, and another day there would be a note down. You're sending, aren't you finally getting a place now? ”

Cai You was stunned, and immediately called out to hit the sky: "Li Boji, that big measure? What kind of seniority can he talk about? Although the prestige is high, it has never served as a big state, even if it is recalled to the capital for reuse, one young secretary is enough. How can you lead the Western Mansion as a deputy cardinal? The child can't be a privy envoy, why is he sent by order? The child once participated in the governor's affairs for the eastern mansion, and was sent by the capital, how could he not go to the privy government to undertake the decree, rather than this, it is better to send the child out to know a big state! ”

Cai Jing looked at Cai You and said coldly: "The pacification envoy of Hedong Road and the location of Taiyuan Mansion can be obtained, do you want it?" Where are the kings who offended with you that day, where are they now? You are a man of sin, and it is a privilege to use them in a lower manner. What more could you expect? But if you have achievements, are you afraid that you won't be able to return to the position of the two provinces? Not now, not in the future! ”

Cai You was overwhelmed by Cai Jing's momentum and didn't dare to complain about anything. Daddy promised his own future, and it seems that he can also count on it. Thinking about it, it is really fortunate to be compared to Tong Guan Wang Huang. Not only did he not take a step out of Bianliang, but he also had to be sent again after a year. There doesn't seem to be anything that can't be said. It's just that I can't get over my face,............ In this current situation, what face is there to talk about?

However, he was still unwilling, muttered and complained: "But this pivotal position is not the turn of Li Boji Nacuo............

Cai Jing's tone was still cold: "Except for Li Boji, who has this time to suppress Pingyan's Xiao Yan?" Except for Li Boji's temperament, who would dare to fight with Xiao Yan? Except for Li Boji, who wants to jump into this fire pit? At an extraordinary time, and skipping the seniority, who can say anything?

Go to a Wu Nayan, and use Li Boji. The old party of Qingliu has not lost its momentum, and the reuse of you is the will of the capital, and it is also balancing the situation in the cardinal, so that the old party of Qingliu will not be arrogant by taking the position of Xifu again. This time, the employment of people is the holy heart of the saint who has been planning for a long time, and it is just a matter of recommending it through the mouth of others. It is the wisdom of the saints, if you still complain. The old man resigned for you, and sent this order! ”

Cai You smiled awkwardly and didn't answer his father's words. At this time, he could also figure out that his family was so heavy that Cai Jing actually used a lot of strength in the meantime.

You must know that Li Gang and Cai Jing have never dealt with each other, if you let this Li Boji return to Bianliang. Cai Jing's life is not necessarily easy. This Li Boji is anyone's dare to resist!

acquiesced in Li Boji's return to the capital, or made an exception and moved to the throne as the deputy of the cardinal, in exchange for the fact that he was reinstated as a son who was belittled for his crimes.

Seeing that Cai Jing stopped talking, Cai You cautiously spoke: "Father............ That's it? Xiao Yan got out of trouble this time, Li Boji returned to the center, and the people in the old party were blessed by misfortune............ It's nothing, a child. Father worked hard, but he couldn't do it? ”

Based on Cai You's understanding of Cai Jing, his father has always been the most powerful. For a long time, it can be said that he has covered the sky with one hand in the DPRK. Since this re-phase, although it has been kept low enough. However, the people in the Manchu Dynasty thought that Cai Jing was just temporarily forbearing, and when the time came, he would inevitably exert his strength and fight well in the court. Let his cronies be full of the court, and expel his former rivals as much as possible.

There was something in Hedong, which was a huge shock to the chaotic and unclear situation in Bianliang at this time. The forces of the DPRK and China, which are in a stalemate for the time being, will certainly take advantage of this to reshuffle their cards, and all the forces are holding back their strength and waiting for the best opportunity to start fighting with all their might. In Cai You's expectation, his father is also right.

Now it seems that Cai Jing seems to be a little lacking in fighting spirit. Approve of the old party's move of Li Gang and Li Boji, a thorn in the thorn, back to the capital, and make an exception to move beyond the norm to take charge of such an important position as the cardinal. In exchange, it is the resumption of his own family to a privy council, which is inevitably too easy to speak, right?

Cai Jing's face was full of exhaustion, and he leaned back a little. After a long time, he said softly: "You'er, the old man is already more than eighty years old, and he is looking forward to nine years............ In the future, the Cai family will still be handed over to you to maintain............ The old man no longer wants the Cai family to have an old man in the country, so after you start again, you will be a down-to-earth official. The battle between Li Boji and Na Xiao Yan, you must not get involved,............ As long as you don't have any trouble, you can only promise to meet in the future, and it is expected that you will serve as a US official in the future. What does it mean to be in charge of the two governments? As long as there are no changes in the Great Song Dynasty, the Cai family is rich and noble, and your generation can still be guaranteed. As for what happens in the future, it's not for the old man to bother at the moment. How can there be a long-lasting and prosperous home in the world? That's it, that's it............"

Speaking of later, this husband, who had been in the center of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, had an endless gloomy look on his face. I didn't want to talk to Cai You anymore, so I waved my hand and asked Cai You to retreat.

Cai You wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't speak. After bowing respectfully, he slowly withdrew.

Cai Jing stayed in the inner study and was silent for a long time. Just clapped his hands gently, and several delicate maids appeared quietly, and without waiting for Cai Jing's command, they helped him up and went back to the inner room with him.

Walking to the courtyard, Cai Jing stopped and glanced in the direction of the forbidden center. Today's weather is not very good, stratus clouds are cloudy, and low pressure is overhead. Bianliang, the imperial capital of the weather, I don't know how at this time. There was a hint of coldness.

"The wind is coming............ If Xiao Yan doesn't fall this time, it's hard to say what will happen in the future............ Is this Great Song still the original Great Song? (To be continued)
