Chapter 179: The Imperial Meeting
readx;? Cai Jing is already very old, but his body is very tough, which is also thanks to his habit of getting up early to exercise for many years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After taking a turn from the cloister in the garden, after warming up, someone had already handed over the prepared sword.
After a sword fight, my body began to sweat, and even though it was winter, I still sweated all over, indicating that my body function was getting worse and worse, and I became a little weak.
After practicing the sword, washing his face, and changing his clothes, he went to the study to write and paint, because the saint showed him a painting yesterday, saying that it was painted by a talented man in Jiangnan, and the painting style is very elegant, it is a rare masterpiece, and the meaning of the words is that he has found a new confidant, and you should withdraw from history.
Cai Jing was very angry, does this have anything to do with painting? Isn't it just disgusted that he is old and wants to be replaced? As for disgusting him with a clumsy work?
Wang Hao has begun to stand in the position of prime minister, Cai Jing is now an assistant, it won't be long before he will retire, thinking about his ups and downs in his life, it has nothing to do with Zhao Ji, seeing that he is not pleasing to the eye, he will find someone to check and balance himself, always replace him at a critical time, and then enable it when he is needed.
Four times to dismiss the prime minister, four times to be activated, is a portrayal of his life, but now he is finally coming down, this time it is just a normal retirement. Nothing else.
However, in order to keep the rights of their family from falling, he worked hard to support his son Cai Yu to ascend to the throne and exercise the power of prime minister on his behalf, but everything is not up to him?
In order to gild Cai Yu, Cai Jing painstakingly let him follow Tong Guan down to the south of the Yangtze River, and did a clerk's position in the army.
After a few more years of seniority, as long as there is an opportunity, the power of the prime minister will still be theirs sooner or later.
I made a picture, picked it up and looked at it, and was quite satisfied, so I asked the servant who was waiting around me to put it away.
Breakfast is steamed buns and porridge, quite delicious, after eating two steamed buns, I have some bloating, casually drink some gruel, under the service of the subordinates, put on the official uniform, ready to go to court.
Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and all the officials in the capital have to report on their work to the court, and Cai Jing has not completely retired, so he naturally wants to go to the court.
After everything was ready, the servants brought a sedan chair and carried Cai Jing to the palace.
Because the place where they live is very close to the palace, it didn't take long to get to the front of the palace, Cai Jing got off the sedan chair and saw that many people had gathered at the gate of the palace, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng had come, and many officials gathered around them, most of them chose to stand on the right side, and when they saw that Cai Jing's position as prime minister was not guaranteed, they took refuge in Wang Huang.
However, he has never been defeated in all his life, it can be seen that his henchmen are quite many minions, as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and a finger is thicker than your waist.
So, some people still took the initiative to come over to say hello, and Cai Jing also respectfully returned the salute.
This is a typical political struggle, but Cai Jing is no longer interested, and if the official does his part, he no longer needs to improve his position in the eyes of hundreds of officials through intrigue.
He had clearly proved his energy, and after going to court, he stood behind Wang Huang, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhao Ji looked very tired, recently Zhang Xubai refined a new medicine, the power is amazing, in order to let Zhao Ji feel the impact of the new medicine, Zhang Xubai selected eighteen girls to enter the palace in the people, and arranged them in the newly built palace next to Genyue.
Zhao Ji himself is a merry talent, coupled with the temptation of the environment and realistic conditions, the pursuit of immortality is the goal of every emperor's lifelong struggle, and wisdom such as Tang Sect Li Shimin is not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention Zhao Ji, who does not have many opinions
Last night, the two show girls took turns to fight, Zhao Ji was a little overwhelmed, even with the help of medicine, there were always problems with physical strength, which caused the court to always be absent-minded today.
"Zhongqing has something to play, and nothing to retreat. ”
Zhao Ji said weakly, he didn't look like a wise emperor at all, but like a ruffian on the street.
Yushi Fanghe slowly walked out of the crowd with the fenban in his arms, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"
Zhao Ji waved his hand unhappily and said, "Say it!"
Fang He straightened his sleeves and said loudly: "The minister impeached Wu Xi, the commander of the Huaiyang Army, and killed innocents indiscriminately, causing the people to boil, and the rebellion in Jiangnan became more and more intense, and some honest people also picked up hoes to join the rebels to resist the official army, causing Tong Shumi to be trapped in Huzhou, if it wasn't for General Han Shizhong to fight back, the entire Western Route Army would have been wiped out, and Wu Xi would be mainly responsible, which is one of them."
The Eastern Route Army led by Wu Xi was not active in the war, and his soldiers were greedy for pleasure, passive and slacking off, and the process was slow, resulting in not being able to accurately go around with Tong Shumi outside Hangzhou, and it was two full days late.
Wu Xi was originally subordinate to the Yongxing Army Road Meridian Battalion of a Duyu Marquis, because of the merit of suppressing bandits, at the time of Fang La's rebellion, he was appointed as the commander of the Huaiyang Army to be ordered to go south to quell the rebellion, it is said that he established a processing plant in Qingjian, and produced a more sophisticated gunpowder bullet, which is huge, it is a siege of the city and a village like walking on the ground, Wu Xi secretly hid gunpowder bullets, what is his intention?
Weichen impeached Wu Xi for three counts, please ask Your Majesty to decide. ”
Zhao Ji frowned when he heard Fang Heyi, and couldn't help but straighten up, and his tone of voice couldn't help but increase a little: "What do you think Aiqing thinks?"
As the prime minister, Wang Hao is naturally the first to speak, and his opinions affect the opinions of most of the court, only to see him go out of class and say: "Your Majesty, according to what Fang Yushi said, this son has evil intentions and has to be guarded against, but he has a heavy army, so he can't anger him, he can only let Lord Sheng appease him on the front line, and when he comes back, after going to the military power, he will try to do anything else." ”
Liang Shicheng and Wang Huang are in collusion, and their opinions are naturally the same, but a eunuch cannot have anything to do with the minister, this is an iron discipline, and on the surface, it is natural to compete with each other.
Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng and said, "What is Aiqing's opinion?"
"The minister thinks that this son has rebelled, and he should be immediately interrogated, and under severe torture, there will be a harvest, as Lord Wang said, if he waits until this son becomes bigger and stronger, I am afraid it is not the best policy. ”
Zhao Ji nodded, asked Liang Shichen to step back, and turned his gaze to Cai Jing, who was napping, although he was now relegated to the second line, but the party was all over the place, and his words still carried a lot of weight.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
When Cai Jing heard Zhao Ji's question, he naturally wanted to speak, and said out of class: "Lao Chen thinks that the best way to control a person is to control his family, in this case, even if he has objections, he has to weigh it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a chorus of seconding in the court, saying that this method was good.
Zhao Ji took a look, Lord Cai's power was really extraordinary, what kind of person Wu Xi was, he knew it very well in his heart, the people of the Secret Law Division were by his side, monitoring at any time, Sima Lin, as a prison army, naturally knew the reason, these two people were his own henchmen, until now, they have said good things about Wu Xi, and there have been no other bad remarks to feedback back, they are just looking at a little child, promoted too fast, unbalanced in their hearts, and they are also afraid that they will be in danger to their position when the time comes, so they try their best to bring him down before he becomes a climate。
Zhao Ji knew very well what he wanted, so he sat quietly on the dragon chair and watched them act.
As long as it doesn't hurt Wu Xi's life, wouldn't all the other quasi-performances just give their family a different place to live? Or in the capital, what's wrong with that?
I heard that the prince valued this person who got along with him very well, and made a special trip to his house in Chang'an, and the potatoes and corn were brought back to Tokyo from their house, so the prince also applied for him to be added to the knighthood.
The crown prince has begun to cultivate his own power, Wu Xi is indeed the best candidate, young and full of tension, as well as positive energy, and the important thing is that the mind is full of novel thinking, which brings not only an improvement in military strength to the Great Song Dynasty, but also a new atmosphere.
The crown prince wants to cultivate his own power, which is understandable, and as the current emperor, he should accept it generously and give strong support.
In fact, Zhao Ji is also doing this, because recently he feels that his body is not as good as before, and the medicine Zhang Xubai gave him is getting heavier and heavier.
Originally, it was suspected that Zhang Xubai, a Taoist priest, had the intention of murder, but after an investigation, another Taoist priest Guo Jing said that Zhang Xubai did not plot against him, nor did he intend to murder the emperor, but he was old and timid, and he did not dare to add many medicinal materials, so his body could not maintain continuity, and he felt that it was getting worse.
So Zhao Ji was ready to dismiss Zhang Xubai, appoint Guo Jing as his Taoist leader, and make every effort to help him recover his body.
The important thing is that Guo Jing said that if he wants to concentrate on cultivation, it is best not to ask about political affairs, so that working every day will not be good for his body, so he has the intention of abdicating and making way for Xian.
Originally, Guo Jing's intention was not to let him retire as the emperor, but to hand over the government to a capable minister, who knew that he had such a mind.
This is the heart of rebellion, and even if Guo Jing has an extra head, it is not enough for others to cut it off.
"Cai Qing's family is really good-minded, it is a blessing for the court to have a minister like you with a humerus, and the gospel of the people, okay, according to what Cai Qing's family said, all Wu Xi's family members will be moved to Tokyo City, and all the expenses will be paid for by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There is a house in Baokang Gate, which is where Prince Zheng lives, and after his old man left, it has been empty, and now he is given to the man of Chang'an County as a temporary shelter.
It's decided, don't discuss it anymore, retreat!"
The person who was waiting for Wu Xi to be severely punished with a board of retorts had a black line on his face, because they made Wu Xi get a higher courtesy.
