Chapter 305: Cai Jing intends to kill someone with a knife
As soon as the Empress Dowager Xiang passed away, Song Huizong, who was so impatient with the quarrel between the old and new factions, turned his face and directly changed the year name to Chongning! In order to express his respect for his father and brother, and his determination to persist in changing the law.
He immediately raised his butcher's knife against the Yuanyu party.
The Yuanyou party was frightened: Official, why? Didn't we say it's good to be neutral? How can you go back on your word?
'Neutral your grandma's legs!'
You ruined the years of hard work of my father and brother, you simply didn't take me seriously, and you still have the face to ask me why? If I can't kill you, I will be a son of man in vain, and I am even more sorry for my deceased brother! ”
With a stroke of the pen, Song Huizong directly deposed all the representatives of the Yuanyou party.
It's a pity that although he is ambitious and intends to inherit his father's and brother's ambition to prosper the Great Song Dynasty, he is a man who is very happy and talented in terms of governance.
As soon as the passion passed, he was led crooked by Cai Jing, Cai You, Tong Guan and Wang Hao, repairing the Longde Palace, building the Yanfu Palace, collecting the world's rare beasts, beautiful jade......
As a result, the treasury was quickly spent, and Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others took the opportunity to collect money for him in the name of various changes, and by the way, they eliminated dissidents, expanded their power, and played Song Huizong clearly.
At the same time, in order to ban Su Shi's articles scolding him, Cai Jing also put the neutral Su Shi into the list of Yuanyou party members, listed all Su Shi's works as banned books, made them into literary prisons, and burned them all.
Fortunately, Su Shi's disciples and close friends are very powerful, and as much as Cai Jing burns, they can write as much as they can silently.
In addition, Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng, who claimed to be Su Shi's concubine, constantly pleaded with Song Huizong, and finally saved most of Su Shi's poetry articles, but the articles slandering Cai Jing and Xinfa were gone.
But Cai Jing refused to stop there, he transferred his hatred for Su Shi to Su Shi's son and disciples, relatives and friends, and planned to boil those people in one pot.
This also made the case of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng Su Shi completely fall out.
Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng are added together, and then counting Jia Shen behind Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing is also very jealous. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and let go of the Sumen disciples.
But he absolutely did not allow Song Huizong to have forces around him that could resist him, so he first sent Wang Hao to make peace with him, and secretly wooed Liang Shicheng and Jia Shen.
Later, taking advantage of Song Huizong's desire to let Gao Yu control the forbidden army, he secretly made a stumbling block, and lured Song Huizong to send Gao Yu to the Western Army to accumulate military merits.
Song Huizong and Gao Yu both thought that they would be able to come back after gilding in three or five years, but unexpectedly, it was easy to go out and difficult to come back, Cai Jing used the power of the Privy Council, as well as various small means, to press Gao Yu in the Western Army for more than ten years.
Even if he was dismissed several times, he arranged for his henchmen to continue to suppress Gao Yu as soon as possible.
Because he knew that every year Gao Yu stayed in the Western Army, he would hate him more, and when he returned to Song Huizong, there would definitely be no good fruit for him to eat, and it would even affect his plan to regain his appearance!
Therefore, even if Gao Yu is silent on the surface, Cai Jing knows how much the other party hates him in his heart.
Although Liang Shicheng has already won him over, Gao Yu also has a new teammate - Jiang Chen, a little traitor who is more difficult to deal with than Liang Shicheng and is more favored by Song Huizong!
What's going on?
Cai Jing has one head and two big: if he can't take away Jiang Chen's military power, then the other party now has Limen's Jimin Army, Yang Jian's Jinyiwei, Zhang Shuye's Japanese Army, Pan Shifeng's Inspection Division, Gao Yu's Palace Division, and perhaps Huainan Zongze's men and horses and Liu Feng's navy.
In terms of the army, Tong Guan and the Cao family don't have much of an advantage, which is very unfavorable for taking the credit for recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun in the future!
Thinking like this, Cai Jing couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen with jealousy.
After Xie En left, he planned to talk to Tan Zhen and Liang Shicheng about the situation.
Unexpectedly, Cao Kuo caught up, frowned and asked, "Cai Xiang, what do you mean by this?" Since the Song Dynasty, only the Privy Council has rejected the official decree, where is there any reason for the official to reject the matters agreed upon by the Privy Council?
Where do you put your country's face now? What face do I have to continue to command the Western Battalion? ”
Cao Kuo was very angry, feeling completely shaken by Cai Jing and Song Yunheng!
Cai Jing's old face was embarrassed for a while, and he replied: "Now that He Zhizhong's old puppet is making a comeback, coupled with the support of Zheng Juzhong and others, the Privy Council is no longer the final word of the prime minister.
If a court meeting is convened, it will not play the slightest role except to make the officials unhappy. ”
Cai Jing first explained the reason why he did not continue to insist, and then frowned:
"The official family's move is really unexpected, is it that Cao Guogong and Ling Gongzi have committed the taboo of the official family?"
"Impossible! When pigs fly!
My Cao family has been loyal and loyal to the official family for generations, how can it anger the official family? ”
Cao Kuo shook his head with great certainty.
"Could it be because of the matter of the old pole, what did Jiang Chen say nonsense in front of the official family?"
Song Yunheng hated Jiang Chen for dragging him off the horse and embarrassing him in public, and directly sow discord.
"It seems that this is the only possibility!"
Cai Jing nodded in agreement, and happily encouraged Cao Kuo, an old horseman, to engage Jiang Chen, it was best to cut Jiang Chen to be happy.
"Won't it?"
Cao Kuo looked innocent, frowned, and said: "Although my Cao family is involved in the brothel business, it is the Guo family who is responsible for taking care of it.
If it is calculated in this way, then none of the nobles and relatives of the emperor in the entire Bianjing are innocent! ”
"I'm afraid that Jiang Chen deliberately targeted him in order to take away the war horse and snatch the credit!
After all, no one knows what he said to the official family in private. If you compare your Cao family to the reincarnation of some fierce beast, then you will have to sleep with one eye open! ”
Cai Jing reminded kindly with a kind face.
"How dare he?!
If that little traitor dares to slander my lord like this, I will screw off his head and use it as a night pot! Is he really a waste of my Cao family and Zhu Mian? ”
Cao Kuo was directly blown up by Cai Jing.
While talking, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen and Gao Yu talking and laughing and walking out of the royal palace, and immediately pressed the handle of the knife on his waist and rushed forward quickly.
He stared at Jiang Chen with fierce eyes and said: "The surname Jiang, what kind of slander did you enter in front of the official family, why would the official family rather use you as a yellow-mouthed child to lead the troops than let me put down the chaos in the western camp?"
Isn't your own prince as good as you? ”
"In this case, Grandpa Guo should ask Cai Xiang, not the lower officials."
Jiang Chen looked at Cai Jing mockingly, and he was not nervous at all, after all, Liu Yuancheng and Yang Zaili could follow him, and just one Cao Kuo was not enough to fight.
