Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Cai Father and Son

In the city of Tokyo, the Bianhe River crosses, and there are thirteen large and small bridges over the Bianhe River.

Among them, Jinliang Bridge is famous for "Jinliang Xiaoyue", but in the government and the opposition, whether it is officials or people, the most prestigious has to belong to Taishi Bridge.

There is nothing unique about Taishi Hashimoto, just because there is a Cai Xiangfu standing at the head of the bridge.

In the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong Dynasty, in the past 25 years, he went around and around, but he couldn't get around Cai Jing, who was a very popular minister, controlled the government and served four prime ministers.

In Cai Xiang's mansion, in the study, Cai Jing sat behind the case, and the eldest son Cai You and Jizi Cai Qian sat on both sides of the case.

"Father, this Cai Bian is too ignorant, and he will still fight against you." Cai Qian said angrily.

When Cai Jing heard this, his face turned angry, and he scolded: "Shut up, he is not on good terms with the old man, and he is also your second uncle, which round will you talk nonsense." ”

Seeing this, Cai You on the side showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, because Cai Jing has always favored Jizi Cai Juan, and the rest of the sons were all dissatisfied, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they only put their grudges on Cai Juan.

Now seeing Cai Qian being reprimanded, Cai You only felt that he was in a better mood, but he fanned the flames with a pretentious gesture: "The fourth brother is reckless and reckless, father must not be angry." ”

Cai Jing took in the changes in Cai You's expression, the sea has been up and down for decades, where can he not see such an obvious trick as Cai You, only his heart sank, and now his eldest son is thick, and his official position is getting higher and higher, and he is not taking himself seriously anymore.

Only the official family is reused for me, but they are also suspicious of me, and Cai You needs to mediate in the middle, otherwise the old man will have to dismiss his official and beat him well.

"Ju'an, what do you think of today's affairs in the court?" Cai Jing said to Cai You.

"Did my father ask about Xixia, or about the second uncle?"

"Tell me all."

"Although the children of Western Xia don't know who is right and who is wrong between Tong Guan and the Seed Master Dao, only Tong Guan has touched the thoughts of the official family, so even if the Seed Master Dao is reasonable, it has become unreasonable."

"What else?"

"Also, my father supported that Tong Guan today, because he wanted to repay the previous time that he helped you regain your appearance."

"That's right, that Tong Guan can touch the thoughts of the official, how can he not know his true appearance, so that he can push the boat down the river and repay his past help."

Cai Jing smiled slightly, and said noncommittally, only comparing Cai Xuan, who was ignorant and had nothing to do with himself, with Cai You, but he was angry and wasted his thoughts on him.

"What do you think about your second uncle's affairs?"

"The child agrees with what his father said, no matter what happened in the past, the second uncle is the second uncle after all, and now that he is willing to return to his hometown, let him go, but the position of Wuzhi and Yanggu County Commander is not painful."

As soon as Cai You's voice fell, before Cai Jing could speak, Cai Qian on the side jumped up and said hurriedly.

"How can it be insignificant, the location of the Yanggu County Order, I have promised it to Ximenqing, if this boiled duck flies, won't it make me lose face in front of that guy."

"Nonsense."

Cai Jing reprimanded Cai Qian with a displeased face and said: "You are just a servant of the Huiyou Pavilion to be systematized, the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, when it will be your turn to say." ”

Cai Qian was not afraid when he heard this, relying on his favor to be favored by Cai Jing, and said with a hippie smile: "Father, isn't this also for you, although Ximenqing is a small person, he also recognizes you as a godfather, and the child wants to give him an official body, so as not to make your face disgraceful." ”

"Only that guy is thick-skinned over the city wall, and he screams one by one, when did the old man agree." Cai Jing looked disdainful and said sarcastically.

Cai Jing is already a very popular minister, one person is above 10,000 people, where can he afford to look down on Ximenqing's splash, only look at the face of his favorite son, and ignore the matter of pulling his tiger skin as a banner.

"But what you said also has a few truths, although that guy is pulling the tiger skin of his true appearance, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is also considered to be a subordinate of his own appearance, but he should be given an official body, so as not to lose his face."

Cai Jing said quietly, and said to Cai You: "Ju'an, you can help your fourth brother in this matter." ”

When Cai You heard this, he sneered in his heart, but at this moment, he had to say patiently: "This matter is not difficult, although the official family Chrysostom said that Na Wuzhi should continue to serve as the commander of Yanggu County, but we can start from other aspects." ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he knew what Cai Yu meant, and opened his mouth to set the tone.

"But it's a good way, in the name of the old man, you can send a letter to Cheng Wanli, the governor of Yunzhou, and ask him to transfer the county lieutenant of Yanggu County to another place, and let Ximenqing fill the vacancy."

Cai You answered, then got up and arched his hand towards Cai Jing and said: "If my father has nothing else to do, my son will leave, and later, I will have to go to meet Mrs. Li with the official family." ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he waved his hand and said lightly, "Go", Cai You turned around and walked out, and when he was at the door of the study, he heard Cai Jing's meaningful voice behind him.

"Ju'an, my father is old, this phase will be yours sooner or later, you have to wait a little longer, there is no need to be so anxious."

......

On the bustling streets of Bianliang City, Cai You sat in an extremely luxurious carriage with a gloomy face.

Recalling the last sentence Cai Jing just said, I felt irritable in my heart, although Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son had a dislike in the past, they were as clear as Fang Cai, but it was the first time.

Forty years of father-son love, calling for today's drifting.

After a while, a wicked smile rose at the corner of Cai You's mouth, and he only muttered.

"Father, being old and not dying is a thief, just like you, but I have to wait until when, who doesn't want to sit in the position of prime minister!"
