Chapter 82: How to Flatter (1)

Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 82 How to Flatter (1)

In Fang Teng's manor outside Bianliang City, everyone ate this dinner happily.

These days, I am trying to recover from the collection, trying to get a little more money out. The rest of the time, I was mostly discussing with relevant people about the new banknote. After the war of Fa Yan, the financial system of the Great Song Dynasty was said to be infinite, and it was almost collapsed, although everyone now more or less understands that it is impossible to pay money, and they can only rely on this to breathe a sigh of relief.

Cai Jing's posture of burying his head in finance surprised many people. The husband's reset, with Cai Jing's character, is naturally a retribution, whoever drives him off the stage that day, all the leaders of the row must take care of it. Unexpectedly, Cai Jing not only did not fall into the trap on Wang Huangtongguan's matter, but also did not say goodbye to Liang Shicheng. The only one who has never forgiven is his son Cai You. So far, Cai You has not been sent again.

Although everyone doesn't mention it now, they know that the most important thing in the following court is to train the forbidden army. One is that the forbidden army is really unbearable, it is really unreasonable not to train well, and it must be used to balance the increasingly untamed Western army. The second is that once the forbidden army is reorganized, the Great Song Dynasty will naturally be inclined to the forbidden army's retraining. How many people have already made a lot of money from the war against Yan, how can this forbidden army training be missed? Which party presides, who has the most right to speak, and who will preside over the big cake are all things that everyone is concerned about.

Originally, everyone thought that Cai Jing would rely on Xiao Yan, a person who had just joined the door, and the people in the court should not show any signs of it, and he would hold this power in his hands no matter what he said. Cai Jing has always been a character who does not have too much power. But he didn't expect that these days, he turned a blind eye to Xiao Yan, Wu Min was secretly moving the hands of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, digging into the corners, there were always people who reported to Cai Jing to try to curry favor, but Cai Jing always smiled faintly and didn't hear it, and he didn't do anything afterwards. Such a move naturally makes people who intend to work feel cold, and feel that the Taishi is really old, and just wants to live in peace of mind in the phase to end his life. Rather than this, it is better to move closer to the internal minister or the old party.

Cai Jing now has less time to be on duty, not only one value every two days, but also no more than half a day each. Just after noon, he returned to his mansion and closed the door to no outsiders.

But tonight, so late at night, Cai Jing was still in the study in the inner courtyard, and it was rare to see an outsider. The identity of this outsider, but no one could have imagined that it was Cai Xianggong Cai You, who had been evil with his father for a long time, and still made a lot of effort in the last time he drove his father off the stage.

Cai Jing leaned on the soft couch, and there was no one else in the study. On the other side was only his own son. Cai Jing's spirit is indeed unsatisfactory to the past, and he doesn't have to do anything in front of his son, and he looks a little unsupportable. 、

Cai You, who was sitting opposite him, was actually very old, already in his fifties and sixties. But I don't know if the old Cai family has good genes, or if there is any maintenance secret. It looks like there are only about forty people. inherited his father's good looks, and he wanted to be cowardly, dignified and elegant. The three strands of long hair are carefully protected with a beard sac. At the moment, his face was full of enthusiasm.

"My lord, I won't take it this day, I'm afraid it's unknown............ Xiao Yan is helpless, as long as I wait to help. How could he not be grateful? Although the internal minister is trying to isolate China and foreign countries, let the matter of Xianjie fade in front of the official family first. The official family is not a long-term person, and once the time comes, he will be able to control the military training and prohibition in his hands. Wouldn't it be a pity when the time comes? ”

Cai Jing looked at his son and didn't speak for a while.

His own son's ability is clear to his own family. Cai You is very good, and he became a Hanlin bachelor early. At that time, it was also quite famous. Although there are not many edicts made for the officials, once they do, they are always preached by mouth. There are occasional poems, but they are also beautiful and rich, and there is a special atmosphere.

Nothing but that.

After Cai Jing got to use it, he was too rich and too good at enjoying it. It was only when I got old that I gradually returned to the basics. In the past, those dignitaries and nobles who were famous for their extravagant lives, their mannerisms, Cai Jing often used one word to express his disdain: "Village." And those who can get this word comment are still a little honored, indicating that Cai Jing, a big life family and a big enjoyer, still has them in his eyes.

Cai You, who grew up in this environment, if he has any great ability, it will really be against the sky. But this Cai, who is enthusiastic, has never given in at all compared to Lao Tzu. and his eyes are as big as a basket, and the position of the envoys of the two governments can't make him tempted. He Lao Tzu has occupied a high position for too long, Cai Xianggong couldn't wait, so he simply took refuge in Liang Shicheng and them, and knocked Lao Tzu off the stage, and actually got a position to participate in political affairs for a while.

However, Cai You's ability is really far from Lao Tzu's, although he has won the position of participating in political affairs, but he is just a food companion under Wang Hao. If you really leave anything to him, you will definitely mess up. The war against Yan was a good opportunity to make contributions, and Cai You tried his best to get the position of deputy envoy of Xuanfu system. I hope to make some side contributions, and when the time comes, I may be able to replace Wang Huang and become the real prime minister. Wang Hao also estimated that he knew that it would be impossible for this Cai Xianggong to do great things, and it would not be a big deal for him to be the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu system, maybe there would be some jokes to watch.

As expected, Cai You and his party were even more unbearable than jokes. Not only was he completely exposed to the weakness of the Dumen Forbidden Army in front of the Western Army, but he himself became a laughing stock. The army is protected, and he doesn't even dare to go to the north of Hejian Mansion! The so-called deputy envoy is to drink and write poems at least four or five hundred miles away from the front line, and feast and have high music. The news of the defeat of Baigou River came, and this Cai Xianggong fled from Jingdong West Road in one breath to settle down. You must know that at that time, the Liao soldiers had only reached Xiongzhou as far as possible, and there were still three hundred miles away from Hejian Mansion!

In this way, Cai You is naturally not allowed to participate in the position of governor. However, looking at Cai Jing's face, he did not go far away from the military state, and he had the same fate as Tong Guan Wang Huang. But there was no send, so he could only live idle. Liang Shicheng became them, and he didn't want to use this character who was not enough to achieve and more than to lose. Cai You couldn't, so he begged his father with a cheeky face. was rejected by Cai Jingjian. The people of Bianliang say that the husband can understand the world, but he can't understand this son. Anyway, Cai Jing has many heirs, and he doesn't care about such a one.

Unexpectedly, it was Cai You who appeared in Cai Jing's study today!

Hearing Cai Youjin's words, Cai Jing smiled faintly after a while: "............ I'm old, and I don't know how many years I can live in peace with this phase, so what's the use of fighting for this? ”

It was useless for Cai You to persuade his father today, and he couldn't help but be anxious at this time: "Let the prime minister take charge of the military ban and practice, won't he move the phase of his father?" At that time, it is they who will be inseparable from the official family, but they are not fathers! ”

Cai Jing sneered: "How did the old man step down that day?" Why don't you understand this truth, the old man has been in business for too long, and the power is too heavy, even if the official family is Chinese, he is deeply jealous. If you fight hard for this matter, this phase is the blink of an eye! ”

Cai Jing understands this much better than his son. If they were strong in the past, Liang Shicheng of the old Qingliu Party was weak, and the officials wanted to protect them anyway to maintain the balance of the court. So now that Liang Shicheng has become a fledgling man, he has just regained his appearance, but he is weak. His wings withered, even if he took it off again, it would not have much impact on the situation. can still hold up the scene now, making Liang Shicheng and others jealous, it is nothing more than relying on the accumulation of power for decades.

The official family uses him, one is to calm people's hearts. The second is that he needs to sort out the mess of the Great Song Dynasty's finances. The official family is a person who values affection, but no matter how affectionate he is, a powerful minister and an emperor who have been in work for decades have no affection. On the contrary, he is on guard, originally using him to reinstate is a last resort, once he takes power as before, maybe he will really step down immediately, and there is no chance of recovery. It is better to bury your head in financial affairs, and it is very likely that you will die in phase and be rich for the rest of your life.

And he is ............ It's really old.

I know my own family affairs, and people have this awakening when they are old. Know how many days you have left. At this time, in addition to the consideration of wealth and nobility, we should also think more about our children............ But this son is really ............

At this moment, in Cai Jing's old eyes, he couldn't help but think of the purple robe, riding on a horse, lonely, tenacious and haggard following behind the layers of spirit cards, Angrang went straight into the Great Song Dynasty Royal Street, and faced the young figure in front of the official family upstairs in Xuande.

Such a character, compared to his own son, is nothing more than a soil jīwa dog!

After all, Cai You has been up and down for so many years, although he has no responsibility, no courage, and no practical government affairs. But this political struggle is still proficient. Cai Jing's words, how did he not understand? After hesitating for a long time, I still feel unwilling. My own father is old, and he is content to die in the phase, and he doesn't fight for anything. With qualifications or financial management skills, you can almost get through it. But what about your own home?

What Cai Jing and his life are, Cai You knows it. Even if they were invested in Liang Shicheng's door, the two sides broke their faces. Cai You also knew that Cai Jing deliberately let go, no matter what, the Cai family could always keep a line of wealth. Deliberately keeping a distance from him now and making an appearance that he can never get back together is also preparing for the future. If Cai Jing steps down again, he Cai You also has a chance to reuse it. If it weren't for such a tacit understanding, how could Cai Jing not see anyone, only to see him, a son who came out of the door, talking the truth in the inner room that he could only trust his heart?

In the end, Cai You finally couldn't help it and said in a low voice: "Daddy, you have to plan for your children!" There is no one to support the portal, the Cai family is such a big family, I am afraid that it will be unimaginable in the future............"

This is the more worried heart of the Great Song scholars since Wang Anshi's reform. Before Shenzong, the dispute between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Scholar could barely be regarded as a gentleman's dispute, not only did he not have to worry about his own life, but he was not as good as his family. So will he who should be gracious, and so will he who should serve the officer. However, since the New Party launched the art of conscription and punishment, scholars and doctors competed, which added a bit of cruelty to the plain name, chasing down the birth and writing, and depriving the children of grace. It is to completely turn a scholar's family into a white body. What a brutal blow! Cai Jing has offended too many people, if the Cai family doesn't have the people who support the door, I really can't say what kind of fate will happen!

Cai You mentioned this, and Cai Jing was finally a little moved. He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head: "............ He who says nothing for the Father's sake cannot fight............ Yi Qiē can only hope that Xiao Yan struggles by himself, as long as he can come out and get the blue eyes of the official family. Even if Liang Shicheng still tried his best to stop it, the old man would try to ............ The old man must not have the slightest expression before! ”

Cai You was stunned and shook his head heavily: "Liang is isolated from China and abroad, Xiao Yan has no foundation, and Bianliang City is full of sleeves." He is a son from the south, how can he struggle to get ahead? How can you get the blue eyes of the official family? Daddy, these are just lies! ”

Cai Jing has been entangled by his own son for so long, and he has long felt that his energy is low. This eye was already half-closed and half-open, and he said softly: "Xiao Yan, this son, is extraordinary............ Extraordinary............ The matter of offering Jiejie can be seen in the hills and ravines in his chest. Who knows, what else is he hiding? Let's see, let's see............ The old man always feels that Liang Shicheng may not be able to fulfill his wishes............"

Cai You pouted secretly, no matter from which point of view, Liang Shicheng was much stronger than Xiao Yan. Not to mention Liang Shicheng's henchmen all over Bianliang! I really want to pinch Xiao Yan to death, but it's just a light and clever thing. Xiao Yan is a son from the south, and he will only fight desperately to fight this kind of village matter, and he is afraid that the east, west, north and south of Bianliang will not be clear, so he wants the official family to remember such a person? Daddy is old, are you all old and confused?

Although he was unwilling, Cai You also knew that he couldn't talk about it anymore. He was ready to get up and take his leave. Cai Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and for a moment there was a sparkle in his old eyes: "If Xiao Yan can show a little ability, he will have the appearance of breaking through." You can stand up to the front and give it a hand! The old man will definitely help you win this military training and forbidden military dispatch, and it depends on your own family in the future! ”

Although Cai Jing rarely promised a prospect, Cai You couldn't afford to raise his spirits. Xiao Yan wants to rely on his own strength to get ahead, which is really too fantastical. Such promises are but paintings. It's just a matter of paying attention to Xiao Yan's actions.

Cai You got up and respectfully said goodbye, and naturally a deacon secretly led him away. Cai Jing naturally didn't have the reason for Lao Tzu to send his son, so he leaned on the soft couch and shook his head gently.

own son, but he doesn't know that he is the most suitable person to sit in this position. One is also to give Cai Jing face, and the other is that he is still Liang Shicheng's person, which is in line with the principle of balance. The third is that it hurts Cai You's heart a little when he says it, he is a person with no ability, sitting in this important position, he is the most reassuring person for the official family and the people in the court! Maybe it can really let him sit in peace for a long time, and the consular hall doesn't have to think about it, but he can't run away from the consul who lives in the Xifu Consulate and the privy minister. With such a status, it is not too much of a problem to support the portal after he gets old............

Of course, the premise of this is that Xiao Yan has to struggle to get out on his own at the beginning, break through Liang Shicheng's layers of blockade, and once again bring a deep impression to the official family! This official family is a person who values feelings, as long as he sees the right eye, he can let go of people. The key is here in the official family! At that time, no matter how loud the opposition of the DPRK and China is, there will be nothing that can be done.

But can Xiao Yan really struggle to get ahead? I don't know why, but Cai Jing has this confidence.

The white body came to the south, but in the end, he made a great contribution to Pingyan, how can he be compared with everyone in the court! Once these people ascend to the throne, I don't know what kind of turbulent waves they will set off in the Great Song Dynasty............

Anyway, I'm already old, and I can't see what the future will be. Let him be............ As long as you are old, you can still hold the position of power, and you will be able to do it without being subordinate!
