The Imperial Study.

The old Cai Jing and the majestic Tong Guan, shoulder to shoulder, all knelt on the ground and trembled.

The Song Dynasty's courtesy to scholars is the most important in all dynasties, and the national policy of "ruling the world with scholars" is not just talking.

Therefore, on weekdays, the monarch and the ministers answered, and no one was asked to kneel down and speak.

Especially old ministers like Cai Jing, they have an extra sense of decency.

At this moment, however, they were not only kneeling, but also trembling.

Without him, no matter how amiable the official family is, even frivolous, when he is angry, he is still the emperor who holds the highest authority in the empire.

Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be afraid.

"Yun'an, Nanfeng, Jingnan! Thirty-five counties in three states! In the heart of this dynasty, the anti-thieves invaded the state and occupied the capital, and they were invincible, and I didn't know anything! What are you thinking? What do you want to do? Do you have to wait for the thieves to fight outside the imperial city so that I can find out? ”

Zhao Ji's face was iron-skinned, his voice was fierce, and his saliva was flowing straight down, with the sour smell of stomach and intestines, spraying on Cai Jing and Tong Guan's faces.

The two of them did not blink their eyes, and their demeanor was like Mu Ganlin, profoundly showing the basic qualities of being high-ranking officials.

"Your Majesty!" Tong Guan relied on his good health, kowtowed his head with a "bang", and when he raised his face again, he was already in tears: "Your Majesty, the minister only hates that in the past few years, he has devoted himself to Liao affairs, and has intensively cultivated the military affairs of the Qin and Jin dynasties, so that he has neglected the basic of the country, and he is really ashamed of his high hopes for His Majesty, and he deserves death." ”

While crying, he glanced at Cai Jing proudly, and his eyelids blinked, which meant: Hehe, this pot, old brother, you can carry it.

Speaking of these two traitors, they are not only sons and daughters, but also a pair of happy enemies.

It turned out that when Tong Guan was in Hangzhou Jinming Bureau in his early years, he got acquainted with Cai Jing, who was dismissed and returned to his hometown, the two fell in love at first sight, and they were treacherous, Cai Jing "accompanied Tong Guan day and night", and Tong Guan also lived up to his good intentions, and handed the screens, fan belts and other things painted by Cai Jing to the palace every day, and gave a very high evaluation, so that Zhao Ji's good impression of Cai Jing was increasing day by day, and he returned to Beijing to resume his post on a green cloud step.

After Cai Jing regained his appearance, he reciprocated by recommending Tong Guan to supervise the northwest of the army, strongly agreeing with his strategy of attacking Qingtang, and later promoted him to be the envoy of the festival, which satisfied the eunuch's desire to make meritorious contributions.

However, the friendship between villains has not lasted long since ancient times.

Cai Jingtong and the two are greedy for power and profit, at first they can support each other, like sugar and honey, and then they have their own power, so they have to play the old trick of not allowing two tigers.

Cai Jing desperately wanted to get involved in military power, and Tong Guan constantly supported the court's henchmen, all of whom had to grab meat in the other party's bowl, making trouble with each other, and the people of the time called Cai Jing the public minister and Tong Guan the prime minister.

Cai Jing saw Tong Guan's smug eyes, and his triangular eyes glared angrily, and he said in his heart that this old woman really deserves to die, his words are retreating and advancing, and he is clean, doesn't he say that it is all my sin?

Sure enough, the emperor listened to Tong Guan's words, and only snorted coldly: "Although you are busy, after all, you are the commander of the army, if you don't know about such a big thing, wouldn't it be ridiculous?" ”

Then he glared at Cai Jing angrily: "You old man, I entrust the affairs of the state, and I dare to cover up such a major matter, and I will not forgive the crime if I deceive the king?" ”

It's my turn! Cai Jing said secretly: Old lady, keep your eyes open, the old man will let you see the supreme heart method of hair extension!

In an instant, the old thief had already mobilized his artistic cells, smiled desolately, looked at the emperor with a pair of old eyes gently and helplessly, blinked slightly, two lines of turbid tears rolled down, and a mournful trill sounded from the depths of his throat: "Your Majesty, old minister, capital crime!" Several slurred syllables rolled out of his throat, and he seemed to be almost speechless from excessive grief.

Then he shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off his lifelong regrets, and suddenly his neck straightened, his voice turned sharp, and his mourning was like a cuckoo crying blood: "The old minister has been difficult and difficult, and finally failed to hide this matter, so that His Majesty knows, so that he is sad and exhausted, this is the sin of the old minister!" ”

After that, he beat his chest and feet, and cried and sweated profusely.

Tong Guanhu was dumbfounded: Wonderful, this is caught! This old thief, he actually admitted the sin of bullying the king!

But listening to his voice and looking at his expression, every detail is stating a sentence: the minister has a hard time.

That kind of invisible loyalty is full of indignation, and when Zhuge Wuhou went out on the teacher's table, he was afraid that it was nothing more than that.

The emperor was also shocked by his behavior: "Slow down, Lao Qing, what do you mean, you really want to hide it from me?" ”

Cai Jing nodded with tears, his eyes seemed to be self-deprecating and firm, as if to say: I know that no one in the world will understand me, but even so, although tens of millions of people will go to me!

The tone gradually rang out: "Not bad! It is to hide it from Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the Emperor, enjoy the worship of the world and be the lord of the world. If the emperor is worried, the world will be worried, and if the emperor is happy, the world will be happy. Since the old minister is the prime minister, he is a herdsman for His Majesty, and he endures small things and burns His Majesty's state of mind, so that the world is worried together, and the people are unhappy? Therefore, he decided to hide it for the time being, and wanted to wait for Wang Qing's thief to be pacified, and then inform His Majesty again, so as to make the emperor happy. Alas......"

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh, and there was no end to it.

It's coming, it's going to melt! Tong Guan held his breath and looked forward to Taishi Cai's interpretation with reverence.

The corners of Cai Jing's old mouth flashed with a very bitter smile: "It's a pity that the old minister didn't expect that now in the army, there is a lack of athletes, and there are no people who dare to die, and several encirclements and suppressions are unfavorable, so that the thieves are loud, and even disturb the capital, rob the emperor, kill Wu'er, and the white-haired people send the black-haired people, all of which are the retribut......ion of the old minister's unconspiracy to mislead the country."

At this point, he was crumbling and seemed to be in great grief.

"Alas......" The emperor has already entered Cai Jing's rhythm, and he can't help but sigh deeply, remembering Cai Jing's age, he only died last year, and he died again this year, and he died every year, which is really pitiful. His temperament as an artist began to trouble, but he sympathized with Cai Jinglai: "Lao Aiqing is kind-hearted, but he can't understand military affairs......"

Cai Jing cried when he heard this, and cried out mournfully: "At such an age, don't you know that your family is short? Therefore, all the things that are sent out are subject to the arrangements of Captain Gao. Now it seems that Gao Taiwei is also unreliable, fortunately God bless the Great Song Dynasty, this juncture, Tong Taifu returned to the dynasty, he is known as the name of the soldier, the battle of the Western Xia, so that the Great Liao, all show the national prestige, if you go to suppress that Wang Qing, it will become the trend of plowing the court and sweeping the holes, Huaixi Sanzhou, the night can be peaceful. ”

Fuck, this old dog, it actually sent it to me! Tong Guan's eyes widened, and he was deeply shocked by Cai Jing's ability to receive and transform.

However, Cai Jing's hair really can't help but be unacceptable.

Tong Guan is convinced that as long as he shows the slightest reluctance, Cai Jing will immediately recommend his henchmen to take command, and when the time comes, if he wins, he will receive all the profits, even if he loses, he will have something to shirk: Tong Taifu is the most knowledgeable soldier, but he is unwilling to contribute, and we will do our best, and we will be defeated.

What a set of hair extensions! Tong has been taught!

Tong Guan glared at Cai Jing hatefully, and when he looked at the emperor, the words "Loyal to the liver and courage, and killing thieves with a naked heart" were written all over his face, and he clenched his fists heavily, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Tong didn't know before, so that Xiao Xiao became big, and now that Tong is still in the court, where can he be arrogant?" Your Majesty begs me to gather military horses and put down this thief with one drum, and then I will call my heart! ”

Cai Jing's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly played: "This dynasty is handsome, and there is no one who is on the right side of the Taifu." However, if a famous marshal does not have the help of brave generals, it is difficult to succeed. Although there are many elite soldiers and strong generals under Taifu's command, they have to fight on the border, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to transfer for a while. In the old minister's bag, there are a few who can fight and dare to fight, and the ministers are willing to be promoted as generals to help Tong Taifu make meritorious contributions, thinking that the king will share his worries. ”

Tong Guan didn't expect Cai Jing to have a patch, and he was stunned with anger for a while: I lost the battle, my commander is not effective, and you are recommended to be meritorious if you win, old dog, you are so calculating!

Just as he was about to find an excuse to refuse, suddenly there was a general of the imperial camp, and he crawled with a belt: "Report to Your Majesty - Gao Taiwei led his troops to chase the thief, forty miles away encountered an ambush of Liangshan soldiers and horses, and was defeated for a while, Taiwei died on the spot, and most of the generals under his command were killed, and the imperial camp went to the rescue, but was also defeated, the two generals of the dragon and tiger were killed, and the head of the golden gun squad was missing. ”

This news shocked the officials and stunned, the enemy army killed the forbidden army and the imperial camp army and horses forty miles outside the capital, doesn't it mean that the capital is also in danger? After a moment of reaction, the red tide suddenly turned red, and he exclaimed: "Master Tong, hurry, hurry up and order troops, and Bao Zhen will go to Jinling to inspect." ”

Cai Jing hurriedly got up and said with a full mouth: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Tong, I will wait for the holy car to patrol the south, and then transfer the world's soldiers and horses to suppress Liangshan!" ”

This monarch and minister have no master of the two six gods, Tong Guan saw this, his eyebrows were thick, unhurried, and he said something!

is the so-called: the eunuchs are at the top of the competition, and the princesses compete in front of the royal car. The hair is like lightning, and Tong Shumi is in command of the whip.
