Chapter Seventy-Two: Chaos

Cai Jing made a move in a rage, and the first move was "there is something in the house", and two people had already lost under this move.

The first was the former prime minister Zhang Shangying, who first let Zhang's subordinates see that the warehouse was empty, lured him to the emperor to complain, and then asked the emperor to send someone to implement it, but the silver was full of silver, and Lao Zhang fell out of favor: the second person was Shaozai Wang Sheath, who had a close relationship with He Zhizhong before he took refuge in Liang Shicheng, and later turned to him. Cai Jing didn't trust Wang Shea, thinking that this kind of young man could betray his teacher, and he could also betray him, so he wanted to dispose of him. Cai Jing said some good things about Wang Shea, recommended him as the head of the household, and after Wang Sheath took office, he immediately sent people to encourage the forbidden army to go to the Zuozang Treasury to make money, and the treasury had already been emptied, and there was nothing but rats. Lao Cai just wanted to depose him on the charge of "untimely financial supply and distraction of the army". Wang Zhu was caught off guard and used the trick of procrastination to avoid being killed.

This time, Cai Jing concocted the same method and bribed Lin Lingsu's partner Wang Yuncheng with a lot of money and let him spy on him. If you don't say that Cai Jing is old, this method is good once or twice, you use it every day, everyone knows how Lu Dao can not be guarded against, Lin Lingsu pretended not to know, and warmly invited Wang Yuncheng to visit the quiet room of Tongzhen Palace, there is a big Huangluo tent for the queen in the secret room, a vermilion chair table engraved with a golden dragon, and a golden dragon incense burner, which is a special product for the emperor, and others use it to rebel.

Wang Yuncheng immediately went to Cai's mansion to report it, and Taishi Cai immediately accused Lin Lingsu of plotting against him and attempting to rebel, and asked the emperor to go and inspect. The emperor and Taishi Cai opened the lock and entered the quiet room at the same time, and the room was empty, only the powder wall and the bright window were seen. Taishi Cai lost face, and Wang Yuncheng was inexplicably poisoned to death that day, which made the emperor very dissatisfied with him. What is Cai Jing, he is a person who has experienced a big setback, how can he be intimidated by this failure, and cheer up to fight again.

In the summer, there was a great drought in Beijing, Cai Jing knew the tricks of Taoist priests, and concluded that there was no rain recently, so he suggested that Lin Lingsu pray for rain. Cai Jing can see that there has been no rain recently, "It is impossible for Lin Lingsu not to know the way, whether he is dead or alive and does not accept this job?" Cai Jing immediately let the henchmen play, revealing that Daoist Lin was a swaggering and deceitful thing, deceiving the saint, and deserving of death. The emperor couldn't protect him either, so he had to urge him to show his hand.

Lin Lingsu's brain is not stupid, he has studied the meteorological data of Tokyo for many years, combined with his own observations, and judged that there will be a heavy rain in half a month, "It's easy to say, as long as you find a way to drag on this half a month, you can get out of trouble, so you can get out of trouble, so you played: The minister studied from the Taoist Lingbao school, and was good at using talismans to exorcise demons and subdue demons, and pray for blessings and disasters." This year's drought, the rain needs thunder, "the louder the better, the better the effect, you need to invite Jiangxi Nanfeng Wang Wenqing, said that he got the heavenly book of thunder and lightning, serving ghosts and gods, and the god Huo Lei Fa is prevalent in the south of the Yangtze River.

The ministers prayed with him, and the other prayed for thunder, and the rain could fall. Jiang Liang is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it takes exactly half a month to whip back and forth.

Cai Jing has been defeated repeatedly, but the older he gets, the stronger he becomes, and he has a plan to find a more clever immortal to have a Li Dai Taozhuang. His confidant Liu Tong, the secretary of the household department, said that he had a cousin who was "born handsome, with the same demeanor as the autumn moon, and the same as the spring clouds, who claimed to be proficient in the magic of descent, and could pray for the gods to come." If he invited the gods to talk to the emperor, then Daoist Lin would be dead. Cai Jing was very happy, Emperor Ming. The emperor decided to summon this living immortal, so Zhao Ji bathed and fasted for three days, waiting for him to do "please the gods."

When Lin Lingsu heard about it, he immediately panicked, "Immediately send someone to find this master, and want to have a strong alliance with him, but I didn't expect to be flatly refused." Everyone is a peer, understand the Tao, this kind of séance trick can't be played alone" someone must cooperate, as long as this partner is dismantled, everything will be fine. Zhang Ruhui, the envoy of the imperial city, was a faithful believer in Lingsu, and greeted the Donghuamen guard, "Only let one person in." As a result, the emperor waited for three days and didn't even see the shadow of the fairy. In a fit of rage, he killed this fake immortal and exiled Liu Shangshu, and Lao Cai lost his wife and soldiers.

Lin Lingsu was really afraid of Cai Jing at first, after all, people have dominated the phase for nearly 20 years, and there are countless protégés and former officials, so he was just passive defense at first, wanting him to retreat in the face of difficulties, and everyone will still be friends after they are safe. But Cai Jing didn't give up, and repeatedly hit the door, Lin Lingsu was also annoyed, and decided to fight a defensive counterattack, which also made him know the power of the Dao immortals.

Lin Lingsu soon inquired about Taishi Cai's preference for his youngest son Cai Yuan, which caused Cai You's great disgust. Cai You, who is nearly fifty years old, won the emperor's favor by patting horses and sending women to be harlequins. His goal was to be promoted to the rank of ruler, but the old father had no intention of backing down, and even wanted to promote Cai Feng to become the successor of Xiangye. The struggle for power is definitely not gentle and humble, and they often meet each other with each other, and the six relatives do not know each other. …,

According to the regulations at that time, from the princes and nobles to the hundreds of officials, they must be subject to the secret strategy of the gods, which is a matter of political stance, reflecting which side of your ass is sitting. But Cai Feng didn't feel for Lin Shenxian, and he didn't urinate his pot at all, but he forgot, Lin Shenxian is the emperor's spokesperson, you don't pay attention to Taoism, you just don't keep in line with the leader, and if you say ruthlessly, you despise the saint, what a hat!

Lin Lingsu was in charge of teaching Shenxiao secret affairs, and it was a superior-subordinate relationship with Shangqing Baogong Palace to promote Cai You, so he asked Cai You to persuade his brother to hurry up and ask the secret chopsticks to go home, otherwise it would be difficult for the emperor to know that it would be difficult for both of them. Then Cai You was worried that he couldn't be sorry for his brother, so he was annoyed at the moment, and immediately killed his relatives and joined forces with him to play to the sect leader emperor!

As a result, I thought about it with my toes, and the emperor was furious when he saw the song, thinking about the promotion of Taoism, you Cai Jing has been engaged in four or five years and has not made any progress, and the people in the joint election only took half a year to open up the situation, you are still jealous and jealous of the elbows everywhere, and now your father and son are singing against me together, and if you don't give you a look, you will have to ruin the great cause of the union! The royal pen instructed: "Cheng Lang Wei Xian Pavilion to be promoted to the longevity concept makes Cai Liao arrogant and arrogant, lawless, and ordered to be removed from his post and sent to Xinzhou for management, and he is not allowed to act freely." ”

Taishi Cai was shocked when he heard the news, and burst into tears, his son has been pampered since he was a child, and he will have burps in a few days when he arrives in that barren land, and what is more serious is that the eldest son who has been handed down by his relatives may not wait for the younger son to go to the place of exile, and he will have to die on the street! Now it is only because of Cai Yixin's funeral that he has gained some time and can suspend the execution, Cai Jing entered the palace several times to plead, but was rejected by the emperor, which was unimaginable in the past.

Taishi was repeatedly frustrated, the Cai family's henchmen were panicked, and began to look for a way out, and even decades of henchmen, Wei Bochu, the general doctor, the Weixian Pavilion to be systematized, and the general manager of the spine cargo affairs Wei Bochu defected and defected to Wang Shea's command. Cai Jing is now a betrayal of his relatives, trapped internally and externally, and has encountered another crisis of downfall!

In this battle with Lin Lingsu, Taishi Cai is not alone, there is another person who also fights against him, but his approach is more naïve, and he has lost even more, that is, the current prince Zhao Mad .

Not to mention that Zhao Ji doesn't like Zhao Mad as the prince, since he was established, he didn't want to replace him all the time, and the two of them were also full of screws on religious issues. The Zhao family has been a devout Taoist believer for generations, and when he arrived at Zhao Shu, he actually became a Buddhist, he saw that the monks on the land of the motherland were becoming scarce, but the wigs were sold very well, and the Buddhist temples in the past were changed to signboards and changed to Wanshou Palace. Even the bronze dials, bronze statues, and gongs hidden in the temple in the past have to be handed over to the division for destruction, and this order is also applicable to the Shishu house, and for a time the Taoist temple is bustling in front of the temple, and the front door of the Buddhist temple is cool, which makes him anxious!

Zhao Huan's baby is also simple-minded, thinking that the emperor likes Taoist priests but because they have great powers, and the heavenly bodhisattvas under the Buddha, Arhat King Kong, and the four * kings are not also able to call the wind and rain, subdue demons and subdue demons? So he summoned several eminent monks to fight with the Taoist priests. So the hall staged a big drama of a son challenging Lao Tzu, a monk and a Taoist priest.

Because there were only princes and important ministers present, the details are unknown, it is said that after the competition and the Taoism, the monk lost a defeat, and the Taoist priest won a complete victory. This hurt Zhao Mad very much, but he still pleaded with the emperor and said: The fighting method is in the fairy world, and the punishment is in the mortal world, even if the monk loses, there is no need to punish. But Lin Lingsu doesn't do it, what he wants is to win or lose, what he wants is to go up and down, and he must be punished. So the monk was imprisoned, and his face was tattooed and sent to the remote mountains to cultivate!

Thinking about the fact that the prince of a country is not as good as a Taoist priest, it can be said that he has suffered a great humiliation, Zhao Mad can know that he is in a mood to think about it, I am afraid that he has eaten his heart, and now the two of them have formed a mortal enemy, and the emperor is even more uninterested in the prince!

The Great Song Dynasty was originally the public minister Cai Jing had the official right to speak: the daughter-in-law Tong Guan was in charge of the Northwest Army, the strongest force in the empire: the hidden minister Liang Shicheng copied more than half of the emperor's strength. Originally, the three-legged tripod reached a delicate balance, but now it was disturbed by Lin Lingsu's dark horse, and the peace of the boat for many years was broken.

Cai Jing's failure in the struggle, his son's betrayal, his strength was greatly damaged, and his voice in the court was much smaller, his partner for many years, Yang Jian, who had been a great eunuch with infinite scenery, has now reached the height of the Jiedu envoy, it is said that with such a title and authority, Yang Jianman can fight hard, compete with Liang Shicheng for the fighter in the eunuch, and taste the first taste of the harem. But he didn't, he was very smart, he knew how to advance and retreat, and he didn't trouble Liang Yinxiang, who was holding the national seal. Tong Guan is now far away in the northwest and is busy expanding his territory, and he is beyond the reach of the affairs of Beijing.

Liang Shicheng formed a strategic alliance with Lin Lingsu externally, and his godson Wang Zhu's current position is Shaozai and Zhongshu Shilang, located under Taishi Cai Jing and Dazai Yu Shen, but he directly inherited the holy decree in his administration, and there was no need for court discussions, and he did not hang Lao Cai at all, because he was favored higher than the mountain, like the depth of the sea, and no one could compare. Internally, the Yanfu Palace group in front is dazzling and extraordinary, being able to preside over the house is a symbol of status, Cai Jing can't grab it, and with Tong Guan's strength, he has to share it with a few colleagues.

And Gen Yue is so big, it is actually only Liang Shicheng who is in charge, what is his status, does it need to be said? (To be continued.)
