According to the custom, after the wedding, you have to go back to the door, thank you for the gift, and those main relatives go to the house. Wang Han has few relatives in his family, Li Qingzhao has many relatives in his family, this aunt, that aunt, that uncle, the reason is because Li Gefei has married two wives, and they are all full wives.

Since the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, the concept of "learning and excellence has been pursued", and only truly talented people can touch the core of power and become a master. In the big exam in three years, there are only more than ten Jinshi, and these are all important ministers of the court in the future, so they naturally become the targets of the major scholars.

The most effective way to win over is through marriage. In order to win over the new Jinshi, the Song Dynasty's various gate lords have reached the point of madness. It is said that every time the big exam is released, before dawn, the major ministers and wealthy families will send their subordinates to check under the list to see who this year's Jinshi are and where they are, and then wait around, waiting for the opportunity to move, as long as the Jinshi appears, they will immediately flock to the top and snatch people back to their homes.

For this reason, they are very well prepared, some cover their mouths, some have ropes, some have arms and legs, some look around, they are responsible for defending against other family thugs, drivers of cars, and so on.

The people called this kind of behavior "catching a son-in-law under the list", and when they caught it, they drove away from the scene, took it home, and showed it to the old man. The old man usually treats each other politely, "Young man, I have a daughter, twenty-eight years old, not bad-looking, how about marrying you as a wife?" Don't be in a hurry to answer, you have to be willing to marry, and you will be given a house, money, a maid, and a big official. ”

Therefore, most of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty got married late, and even made a vow not to take fame and not to marry a wife, in order to one day be caught with the title of the gold list, and reach the peak of life in an instant. If you marry a wife first, there is no such possibility, because the daughter of a wealthy family cannot be a concubine. It is a big crime to conceal the marriage and be found out, and Chen Shimei is such an example.

Let's just say Li Gefei, he was only a jinshi at the age of thirty-one, he had been single before that, and as soon as he was on the list, he was arrested by Prime Minister Wang Qi and became Wang Qi's son-in-law. A few years later, when Wang Jue's daughter gave birth to Li Qingzhao, she had a difficult birth, and Li Gefei became single when she was not saved. A few years later, Wang Gongchen's granddaughter married him again, which was Li Qingzhao's stepmother and Wang Han's mother-in-law.

At this time, Li Gefei was already sixty years old, and Wang Han's mother-in-law was only twenty-seven or eighteen......

This is Li Gefei's glorious life, Wang Han has a headache about this, which means that he has two sets of relatives to leave, Prime Minister Wang Qi has three sons and two daughters, and Wang Gongchen has four sons and four daughters. After walking for seven or eight days in a row, Wang Han was in a daze, usually eating at this house in the morning and eating at that house in the afternoon.

If you go and be able to chat with the court officials, the key is that most of Wang Han's return salute is not at home, and I don't know if he is busy or deliberately avoiding him, Wang Han will be annoyed after repeated times.

On this day, when he came out of Li Qingzhao's uncle Wang Zhongshan's house, the ox cart was just about to cross the royal street, but was stopped, and a small guy outside said hello, "Dare to ask, but the Shenxiao Lingwu Protector is driving?" ”

This string of greetings came strangely, so that Wang Han was surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his head to look, there was a cleanly dressed guy standing on the side of the road, and he looked well-behaved, seeing Wang Han stretching out his head, he hurriedly handed over the worship post, "My master has prepared a little thin wine, please Lingwu Protector Tianzun to the house to talk." ”

Wang Han recognized this little guy, it was the Cai Jing family who gave him eight loads of silk and brocade on the day of the wedding, and he knew that the worship post in his hand was not read, but Cai Jing invited him to drink.

Wang Han was surprised, he had nothing to do with Cai Jing, how could he show favor to himself?

Li Qingzhao also poked his head to see, the little guy had white teeth and red lips, grinned, and hurriedly said hello, "I've seen Mr. Li." ”

Li Qingzhao was overjoyed, "But Mr. Yuanchang? ”

The little guy replied, "Exactly." ”

Li Qingzhao said to Wang Han: "Mr. Yuanchang treats you and I am not thin, and the officials should go." ”

Wang Han replied: "Exactly." But said to the little guy outside: "And return to Mr. Yuanchang, the boy has long admired the name, like thunder, and now Mr. Banquet is rushing away, helpless to feel unwell, more than enough and not enough, I'm really sorry, wait for tomorrow to get better, the kid should come to visit." ”

The little guy outside was stunned and smiled.

The ox cart continued to move forward, and Li Qingzhao said with concern, "Where is the official's body unwell?" Why didn't you tell the slave family? ”

Wang Han laughed, grabbed Li Qingzhao's hand and put it in his arms, "It's not comfortable here." ”

As soon as the talented woman touched her hand, she immediately blushed and wanted to withdraw her hand, "Don't make trouble." "Finally pulled it away, blamed Wang Han, "It's not in shape." ”

Wang Han smiled again, and then turned positive, "It's not that I'm not feeling well, it's just an excuse, I just don't understand, why did Taishi Cai show favor to me?" ”

Li Qingzhao was suspicious: "Taishi? ”

Wang Han waved his hand, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I don't want to go, I'm just not familiar with Cai Jing, and I don't know what to say after I go, so I'll hang him tonight and go tomorrow." ”

Li Qingzhao wondered, "If you are not familiar today, will you be familiar tomorrow?" ”

Wang Han smiled and said nothing, first sent Li Qingzhao home, and then went out by himself to go to the Junma Mansion to find Xuanzan, he had a lot to ask about Cai Jing.

The reason why I want to ask Xuanzan is because Xuanzan is a bag in Tokyo, he has no wife, and he runs around in the Goolan tile shop all day long, and there is nothing he doesn't know about all kinds of anecdotes and gossip. Now that Cai Jing wants to see him, Wang Han is very puzzled, after all, it was the biggest court traitor in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and it is said that every strand of hair is written: Cannibalism.

Wang Han knows that he is not smart, and if he wants to deal with smart people now, he must do his homework, which is the right way to do things.

When I went to the Junma Mansion, Xuanzan was naturally twelve points of joy, and I was sad that the long night was long and lonely, so I prepared a banquet and Wang Hanna. Hearing Wang Han inquire about Cai Jing, Xuanzan smiled, "How did you think of asking me here, I am a rough person, how can I know about civil officials." ”

Wang Han rolled his eyes, "Less, I heard that it was easy for you to enter Cai Jing's house to follow up on the fence." ”

Xuanzan was stunned, "Where did you hear it?" It's that someone is arranging me randomly, I have never met that Cai Jing, how can I say that. ”

Wang Han was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, could it be that the Water Margin comic strip he saw when he was a child was wrong? I vaguely remember that Cai Jing was going to fight, and there was no one to use, Xuanzan ran to Cai Jing and said, I know a fellow countryman, who is a descendant of Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms, known as Dadao Guan Sheng.

Thinking about shaking his head, he was afraid that it would be wild history and mislead himself.

Seeing that Wang Han frowned, he praised him, "Since you ask, brother, I will tell you to listen." ”

Who is Cai Jing? That's a really smart person, a great talent, and the person Wang Anshi admires the most, but this person has a bad reputation.

It is said that when Wang Anshi was in charge of the dynasty, he supported Wang Anshi and supported the new *** to Sima Guang to govern, and he supported Sima Guang and supported the old law. A few years later, when Zhang Dian came to power, he supported the new law, and he was a standard wall-to-wall grass without any opinions. After coming and going, the officials of the DPRK and China were ashamed of Cai Jing's company, including his younger brother Cai Bian, who felt that his brother was ashamed.

The new law and the old law have supporters, once the team stands up, it is unwilling to move the nest even if it is dead, such as Zhao Tingzhi's brother-in-law Chen Shidao, who would rather freeze to death than accept Zhao Tingzhi's fur to keep out the cold, this is the backbone of the literati.

So when Cai Jing was unlucky, no one said good things about him.

In other words, Cai Jing has no friends in the court and is a loner.

Hearing this, Wang Han suddenly realized, no wonder Cai Jing wanted to give him a big gift, it turned out that he had no friends.

Xuanzan continued, talking about Cai Jing's talent, Cai Jing is indeed capable, and he once worked as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. As we all know, anyone who can work in the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin has two brushes. Cai Jing did no worse than Bao Zheng when he was the governor of the house.

So how did Cai Jing get unlucky? It's also a trick of fate, and it's his old rival Zeng Bu's ghost.

In fact, in the earliest days, Cai Jing and Zeng Bu were in the same camp, and they were both active supporters of Wang Anshi's reforms, but later Cai Jing was too treacherous, Zeng Bu and Geng were upright, and some looked down on him, but this was not the most deadly. Zeng Bu signaled Cai Jing two or three times to help him say good things and put himself in the position, but Cai Jing didn't help him, so he resented and the relationship gradually drifted apart.

In the last years of Zhezong, Cai Jing was in charge of the Wen and Fu case, and used coercion and torture to kill Chen Yan, exile Liu Zhi and Liang Tao, and the latter two died of illness on the way. This matter was a bit excessive, these three people were all related to Zeng Bu, but Cai Jing did not give any affection.

Later, Cai Jing wanted to enter the Privy Council, that is, he wanted to seize the military and political power of the country, Zeng Bu advocated the Privy Council at that time, and reported to Zhezong, saying that he was going to put Cai Bian into the Privy Council, and the two brothers could not both be in charge of the army, and suggested that Cai Jing should be the undertaker.

The emperor agreed, and Cai Jing made an agreement. But this was only the first step in Zeng Bu's rectification.

Cai Jing wrote a good hand, and Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu together to become the contemporary four masters, Zhao Ji also likes it, not only like, but also imitate Cai Jing's words. For this reason, Cai Jing said to Zhao Ji: As the Son of Heaven, it is inappropriate to learn the writing of courtiers.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he didn't learn anyone to write, and created his own thin gold body. But at the beginning, when Zhao Ji's thin gold body had not yet been formed, he learned from Cai Jing many times. It was the summer of Zhao Ji's accession to the throne, and the political affairs of the court were changeable.

First of all, Zhang Dian was strongly deposed, which caused a backlash from many people in the DPRK and China, and they lowered the curtain to the queen mother to listen to the government, wanting to appease the people's hearts, and did many measures in order to help Zhao Ji get on the horse.

As a result, Zhao Ji was a good person who couldn't lift a string, and the discussion of the new law and the old law in the court was lively, and he hid behind to face Cai Jing's words. The word was not written on rice paper, it was a paper fan, and Zhao Ji spent 20,000 yuan to buy it.

A broken paper fan, just because Cai Jing wrote four lines of words on it, is worth 20,000 yuan! When the Empress Dowager Xiang found out, she was furious, and immediately dismissed Cai Jinghanlin from his post and told him to know Taiyuan. Before Cai Jing went, Zeng Bu arranged for the counselor to light his black cannon, saying that he had a friendship with the inner servant, and it was unclear. The Queen Mother let him know Jiang Ning again, Cai Jing didn't want to go, so he hurriedly took the money to do the activities, and wanted to find someone to help him speak, but Zeng Bu grabbed the handle and found someone to impeach, and directly dismissed Cai Jing's official, and pushed to the end, lifting the Dongxiao Palace.

What does it mean to lift the Cave Yoomiya?

Dongxiao Palace is a Taoist temple, built in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, called Tianzhu Palace in the Tang Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong personally wrote the imperial book Dongxiao Palace.

What is Dongyo Palace used for? Naturally, it is used to engage in feudal superstition, this matter is a long story, first Zhao Kuangyin robbed the Chai family of the world, and then Zhao Guangyi [Candle Shadow Axe] robbed Zhao Kuangyin of the world, Song Zhenzong is Zhao Guangyi's son, even if he becomes the emperor, his heart is not steady, he is afraid that his throne will not come in the right way.

The ancient emperors all paid attention to the orders of heaven, the power of the monarch was divinely granted, and the emperor of Song Zhenzong sat on the throne unsteadily, and some of his subordinates figured out his mind and made all kinds of Furui (auspicious, Fu Rui), implying that he was the true son of heaven. Dongxiao Palace played a great role in superstitious activities, and became the preferred venue for official superstitious activities.

Because of the frequent official superstitious activities, the relationship between the Dongxiao Palace and the Imperial Palace was extremely close, and later as soon as a minister made a mistake, the emperor sent him to the Dongxiao Palace to help the leisure, and he thought about it in the face of the wall, and the nice name was to lift.

Cai Jing's lifting of the Dongxiao Palace is to let Cai Jing reflect in the Taoist temple.

Hearing this, Wang Han suddenly realized, no wonder that the little guy called his master Mr. and didn't dare to bring an official name, it turned out that Cai Jing had no official at all.

Thinking of this, Cai Jing, a traitor, has been an official for many years, and he must be full of bad ideas, and he is Zeng Bu's enemy, if he joins forces with him, he will soon be able to defeat Zeng Bu.

Here Wang Han vaguely knew that less than two months after Cai Jing came to power, Zeng Bu was killed and replaced by Zhao Tingzhi, the idiot, and from then on, Cai Jing's family in the court was dominant. But that's history, and when it comes to Wang Han, he has his own abacus.

Regardless of the black cat or white cat, it is a good cat who helps him, Zeng Bu is not interesting, and he is blocking his progress, so he will be killed directly.

First use Cai Jing's power to overturn Zeng Bu, and then find a good errand for yourself, find a good place, open an arsenal, open an iron mine, make guns and artillery, train strong soldiers, first do a few battles on the border, fight Liaoxia, and then develop rapidly in the country, develop education, develop people's livelihood, encourage childbirth, improve crops, wait for ten years and eight years, train a group of strong soldiers, turn over Zhao Ji, become the emperor himself, and then wave his army to the east, west, and north......

Well, ideals are ideals, for the moment, it is better to handle the relationship with Cai Jing, as for how to arrange Cai Jing after his success, it depends on his mood.

Early the next morning, Wang Han dressed himself, packed up, and was about to go out, when the coachman Lao Ma came to announce that yesterday's little girl was here again and was waiting outside the door.

Wang Han went out to see, there was a carriage parked outside, and the little servant was standing next to him, very well-behaved, and saluted when he saw Wang Han, "Meet the Divine Night Lingwu Dharma Protector, and I learned that the Dharma Protector will come to be a guest today, and the master specially ordered us to welcome the Venerable Driver." ”

This was polite, so Wang Han scratched his head, hehe, and asked the little guy: "What's your name?" ”

The little guy replied: "Xiao Ke Yuanfeng." ”

Wang Han laughed again, Yuan Chang, Yuan Feng, is this the rhythm of doing express delivery? At the moment, take a second look at the little guy and keep it in mind, this is a smart person, if there is such a person by his side, he can worry about a lot of things.

When you get in the car, you feel different. Li Qingzhao's ox cart was too inferior, it was slow to sit on, and it was bumpy and uncomfortable. Look at Cai Jing's carriage, fast, steady, and soft.

The interior of the car is decorated with mahogany, polished smooth and shiny, and covered with brocade upholstery, with flowers on both sides, which is pleasing to the eye.

Well, he and Li Qingzhao sat in an ox cart, although they were beautiful people on the side, but Wang Hansheng didn't have any blasphemy thoughts, but he just disliked the old cow walking slowly. But to sit in such a carriage...... The car shock shouldn't be bad, right?

The car is moving, Wang Han himself is thinking, he is a little Jiupin Bao Yilang, why does Cai Jing value it so much?

Turning around, the carriage went out of the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, walked along the side of the Royal Street, entered the West Street, more than ten minutes, stopped in front of a big house, Yuanfeng respectfully asked Wang Han to get off.

Open the curtain of the carriage door, it is a three-meter gatehouse, there are huge wooden red pillars at the door, the blue brick floor, the sweep is clean and spotless.

is much more magnificent than his own family, which makes Wang Han envious, and there are still rich people who will live.

Just entered the door here, there was a man in Chinese clothes in his fifties walking on the white stone passage in the courtyard, not tall, with a high round face, a fluttering green beard, and a good appearance. ”

Wang Han blushed this time, and it felt very strange to be slapped like this for the first time for decades. returned the salute at the moment, saying that the kid had seen Mr. Yuanchang.

When the guest and host enter the inner hall, there is a maid serving tea after a while, which is different from the tea that Wang Han usually drinks, there are red beans similar to wolfberry, as well as ginger slices, red date slices, smelling sweet, taste a bite, Wang Han praised, "Ha, there is honey." ”

Cai Jing said with a smile, "This kind of jujube honey tea was created by the old man, and the official family drank it yesterday, and it was also full of praise." ”

One sentence made Wang Han raise his eyebrows, Zhao Ji also came to Cai Jing last night?

No wonder Cai Jing sent someone to invite himself, and he played a little slippery. But then again, how could the emperor go out of the palace casually? Shouldn't he send someone to say a word, and Cai Jing himself went to meet him?

It's all secondary, the point is, what is the emperor coming for?

Wang Han was surprised, "The official family was also in the house yesterday?" It's a pity that Xiao Ke was really unwell yesterday. ”

Cai Jinglian said that it didn't matter, the Dharma Protector would be newly married, and there would be a lot of entertainment, and the official family could understand.

At this point in the conversation, Wang Han stopped being verbose and went straight to the point, "Mr. called me, what is the matter?" ”

Cai Jing smiled, thought for a while and replied, "The Divine General has already seen Lingsu Tianzun?" ”

Lingsu Tianzun? Wang Han smiled, "Sir, don't be polite, just call me Wang Han, as for Lingsu Daoist, I had a discussion a while ago." ”

Cai Jing nodded, and said again: "Yesterday, it was not the old man who invited you, but it was the intention of the official family, and it is difficult to say it clearly." ”

Wang Han suddenly said, "Oh, I understand, but I don't know, what does the official family pass on to me?" ”

Cai Jing said: "The discussion is about the Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty, Lingsu Tianzun knows the past, through the future, yesterday made a lot of prophecies here, the official family wants to invite you to come, together with the reference and discussion." I heard that you have seen the light mirror of the Xuannu, and you can also see the future. ”

This is a fork, Wang Han regretted that he didn't come last night, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Lingsu pretended to be here a lot yesterday and fooled the emperor. asked Cai Jing: "I don't know what Chang predicted yesterday?" ”

Cai Jing replied: "The Taoist chief predicts that there will be great changes in the court, and the thirty-six stars in the heavens will soon gather in the court to assist the officials. ”

Thirty-six nakshatras? Wang Han wanted to laugh and endured, "Well, didn't the Taoist chief say who the thirty-six constellations are?" ”

Cai Jing hesitated for a moment and replied: "Some of the people who are said are in the court, and some have never heard of them. ”

Oops, it's strange, Wang Han smiled and asked, "Who have you heard?" ”

Cai Jing replied, "It's the old man, Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhao Tingzhi, Zheng Juzhong, Wang Zhongshan, Wang Zhongxiu, ......"

Wang Han heard that it was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped, and asked again: "Who has never heard of it?" ”

Cai Jing replied: "Wang Huang, Li Yan." ”

When Wang Han heard this, he immediately glared, got up and clapped his hands, and his face changed.

How could Lin Lingsu of the dog day say the names of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty? You must know that now the court is still in control, and Wang Hao and Li Yan are still unknown.

Wang Han was shocked and asked again, "What else did the Lingsu Dao Elder predict?" Regarding the national movement. ”

Cai Jing couldn't say it, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Lingsu Tianzun suggested that the official family move the capital to Lin'an. ”

I've got a big grass!

Wang Handeng was shocked.

Lin Lingsu was able to predict the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty twenty years later?
