The court of the Great Song Dynasty is always full of an almost psychedelic color.

It's like the city head changing the king's flag, and you sing and I appear as dazzling. This is especially true for high-ranking officials at the level of prime ministers.

Therefore, Cai Jing did not have too much despair about what to do to proclaim and appease the envoy. The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, yesterday it was a seven-rank sesame official, and today there are many people in the court; At the same time, yesterday was the prime minister of the dynasty, and the next day he left the capital in a gloomy manner, and there were many people who were assigned to be local governors.

Cai Jing's anger was anger, but after the anger, he was a good scheming person and began to think about the benefits he could get from going to the northwest.

Now His Majesty is determined to restore the government of the Shenzong period, and the war against the Western Xia and Hehuang during the Shenzong period cannot be avoided. The northwest is not strong now, but there are some talents.

Cai Jing even thought about making a gesture by himself, and then seeking the power to appease the entire Shaanxi, instead of going to Qinfeng Road.

For example, Zhang Qi...... This person is too senior, and he is not at all able to accept Luomen's subordinates. Even Zhang Qi's character, even Zhang Dian didn't necessarily buy it. In terms of identity, this is Zhang Dan's cousin; In terms of the background of the imperial examination, this is the champion; In terms of character, it is not considered to be unruly, but there must be one of him who has an unruly personality. He must not be able to offend such a big guy. Besides, everyone is a straight bachelor of Longtu, and no one is birding, which is normal.

Even when Cai Jing saw Zhang Qi, he had to meet him with the mentality of a junior.

Lu Huiqing?

Forget it, he can't afford to mess with this great god.

Cai Jing also moved Yan Yanlu's thoughts, he couldn't figure it out, how could Cheng Zhijie, who was like a waste, press the elite of Western Xia to the ground and beat him violently?

This does not make sense.

Could it be...... Li Kui?

Thinking of Li Kui, Cai Jing's face suddenly became difficult to look at, this guy was his rival. Don't look at Cai Jing, who is relatively able to be forbearant now, but for Li Kui, who is bent on letting him develop a small farm pilot, it is impossible to have other emotions except for the anger of gritting his teeth.

Liu Yannian...... The Northwest General is probably not going to take care of himself.

Don't look at the fact that civilian officials have a natural advantage in front of military generals, but if it is really among second-grade military generals and civilian officials, it is more about cooperation than using the identity of civilian officials to oppress others.

Liu Yannian is such a person, the Dinghai god-like figure in the northwest.

Especially after Gao Zunyu's death, Liu Yannian became the leader of the Northwest Generals.

Cai Jing, who was thinking about pulling the younger brother, found that he could only draw from the range of five or six rank officials, and suddenly he was a little lacking in interest, but he was a high-ranking official from the second grade.

When he returned home, he saw his son sweating hotly and sitting dejectedly under the corridor of the hall, Cai Jing picked his eyelids, and no matter how he looked at his son, he felt that it was an eyesore. Cai You, who seems to have no hope in the imperial examination, is white and fat, and you can see the traces of a rich son at a glance by looking at the face, and even has a kind of generous face. Even Cai You himself gave up the idea of the imperial examination and wanted Enyin to be an official.

This made Cai Jing's heart angry, and he pointed at Cai You and said angrily: "That's how Taixue made you study like this, and I will be a good wine with you for my father another day." ”

"Father, the child is not studying too much."

Cai You faced Cai Jing, how dare he talk more. Although he doesn't want to study anymore, according to his family's family background, Enyin is a simple official. According to the Great Song Dynasty Enyin system, civil officials can be gynyin one child every year to be an official at the level of the imperial historian, that is, the third-grade official can be gen one child every year. Of course, before becoming an official, you also need to assess your literary style and martial arts, but this kind of assessment is just a formality, as long as you are not stupid to the point of going home, it is absolutely impossible to get by.

And Cai Jing is already a high-ranking official from the second rank, and his uncle is also a high-ranking official from the second rank, as long as he wants to be an official, he can achieve it immediately.

However, Cai Jing did not want his son to follow the path of Enyin. The Cai family can't afford to lose this person!

Cai Jing heard that his son didn't go to Taixue, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "You want to go home and take care of the manor?" ”

The children of official eunuchs are nothing more than two paths, follow their father to learn as an official, and then prepare to enter the officialdom. There is also the return to his hometown to manage the manor. It's a pity that Cai You didn't want to go back at all, so he cautiously glanced at his father Tie Qing's face, knowing that he must be angry outside, and he used him as a gas bag.

At this time, only obediently admitting mistakes is the best way out, lowering his head, Cai You's white and tender fat face was squeezed into a bun, and he said in frustration: "The child is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Children shouldn't have gone too far to study, and they are lazy and slack off in their studies. Reading to gain fame is to sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Children should not lose their pursuit of the road because of setbacks. ”

"Stop, stop, you go and coax Taixue Xuezheng to go with these nonsense, the old man doesn't need your fake duplicity here. Say, where did you go, and that bastard boy didn't do his job? Cai Jing impatiently stopped his son's remorse, this kind of remorse was not a hundred times in front of him, only eighty times, and he had lost any expectations that Cai Jing had for Cai You.

It is also strange to say that since the Cai family has produced the brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian, it seems that the juniors have not been smooth on the road to the imperial examination.

It stands to reason that with Cai Jing and Cai Bian's intelligence, their son should also be good. Could it be that his own family has become like the Su family?

There are many brothers who are high-ranking officials in the court, but only two pairs of brothers are often mentioned by officials in the officialdom. One pair is the Cai brothers in Fujian, and the other pair is the Su brothers in Sichuan.

Su Shi and Su Zhe, Cai Jing and Cai Bian.

It's more smooth in officialdom when they are younger brothers, which makes Cai Jing can't help but trap his own stupid son on the juniors of the Su family. Su Shi's three sons seem to be ...... It's not right, Su Guo has already been admitted to the Jinshi, and the Su family has been out of the spell. But the Cai family seems to be still unlucky. Cai Jing knows very well that if the Cai family wants to enter the door of a first-class family, it must be like the Zhang family, and talents can be substituted in order to turn around gorgeously. Otherwise, in addition to their uncle Cai Xiang, there are two brothers who can't support the first-class family at all.

What's the use of him and Cai Bian being officials?

has no background, but is just a passer-by in the court. The children of the later generations are all grace officials, what kind of wealthy family is it?

Cai You knows Cai Jing's thoughts well, and he knows his son Mo Ruo's father, but it seems that there is no big mistake in his son's understanding of Lao Tzu. Cai You also wants to get the status of Jinshi, but unfortunately, he can't do it!

However, Cai You is not panicking, he is now messing around with Duanwang Zhao Ji, it is better than fooling around with which gentlemen: "Father, His Royal Highness Duanwang has formed a Keju team, and the child is learning Keju in Duanwang's Mansion today." ”

"Ridiculous. King Duan is just an idle prince, what hope do you have for him? Cai Jing said angrily.

Cai You said without hurry: "Father, you listen to the child slowly, Duanwang is an idle prince, but the Keju team formed by Duanwang this time is not simple, I heard that the King of Thailand and King Lu also formed a Keju team. Several princes have formed Keju teams one after another, because His Majesty likes Keju and will compete soon. ”

"How did I not know?"

Cai Jing will not let go of the opportunity to make money at all, Keju is the highlight of Guan Po in the capital, he has secretly let people play black football for some days, and he has gained a lot from killing all sides in the Guan Po Coupon Field. Thinking that he was going to leave the capital, this huge income was about to be lost, and his liver ached.

Cai You hurriedly explained: "Father, it's a private competition, if Your Majesty makes a big fanfare, he will definitely be angrily reprimanded by his uncle and Zhang Xiang, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I want to." At that time, the juju of several princes will compete with the royal juju team of the Great Song Dynasty, and I heard that King Duan said that His Majesty and several princes will also play. ”

Cai Jing suddenly stopped talking, touched his chin and stared at Cai You up and down, and after a long time, he asked very carefully: "You'er, how is your Keju level?" ”

"Son, son!" Cai You was talked about the sore spot, and he couldn't help but get frustrated, he was a fat man, alas, he had worked hard. But it seems that any sport has become a natural enemy of the fat man, so he is not waiting to see him: "Son, now he is the No. 3 goalkeeper in the Keju team of Duanwangfu." ”

"Goalkeeper?"

Cai Jing had never heard of Keju having a goalkeeper.

Cai You hurriedly explained, so that Cai Jing understood that the rules of Keju played by the emperor were fundamentally different from the gameplay of the Beijing Circle Society. He didn't know that this set of rules was suggested by Li Kui to the emperor to be modified, and after the rules were changed, Keju increased his running, which was of great benefit to the emperor's physique. As for the goalkeeper, this kind of superficial rule was quickly figured out with Cai Jing's ingenuity.

But it is precisely because he has thought it through that he is angry, and his son is simply a waste snack! The main goalkeeper is No. 1, the substitute is No. 2, and the son is No. 3...... What does this have to be wasted into to be like Cai You? Angrily pointed at Cai You's nose and scolded angrily: "Reading, reading can't do anything, you can't even play, what else can you do?" ”

"I don't care, before the old man leaves Beijing, you must become the main goalkeeper of Duanwangfu."

After Cai Jing vented his temper, he gave Cai You an ultimatum. But Cai Youxin said how could it be done? Suddenly said nervously: "Father, my son's ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't do it!" ”

"Use money to buy, use power to press, anyway, I don't care what method you use, you can use any means before you achieve your goal."

Cai Jing is resolute in his work, but at the same time he is not a reasonable person.

Cai You said with a bitter face: "But money and power are useless!" ”

"It's useless, I, Cai Jing, a second-class member and your uncle's power, you actually told me that it was useless in the capital?" Cai Jing glared at his son Cai You, this kid didn't take him seriously as a straight bachelor of the dragon picture and the head of the household.

Cai You said leisurely: "The second eldest of Wang Xiang's family in Yongjia County, and the eldest son of Wang Yuma's family. More than money, our family does not have theirs. If you want to use power, they don't want to be civil officials, and they don't care about offending our family at all! ”

Cai Jing was stunned, then fell into deep thought, and then stood up leisurely, walked out of the hall, and left a sentence: "Son! You want to be a father and agree, but you have to rely on strength to get an official position. This is an opportunity, since Your Majesty will participate in the competition, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, it is difficult to be an official in the shade, and if you want to get ahead, there is no better way than to let the emperor remember you. Think about Li Kui, just because Jane is in the emperor's heart, even if she is offended by the queen mother, she can now be extremely beautiful in the northwest. ”

Cai You opened his mouth, he was very similar to telling his father Cai Jing that Li Kui was a Jinshi and the first, and if he was ranked higher than the imperial examination, he would be higher than you and his uncle.

However, being able to exempt Cai Jing from punishment for him, Cai You is already very satisfied. He bowed down and said, "The son sends the father." ”

"By the way, don't eat food, lest you be so fat that you can't run."

Cai You was stunned, if he doesn't eat food, what's the point of his life?

Here, Cai Jing's mansion is preparing all kinds of utensils for the old man to go out of Beijing.

Northwest, Mubo Town.

Zhang Qi sat on the ground, and the Western Xia army finally retreated. This time, Huanqing Road was able to stop no less than 5,000 Western Xia soldiers, whether it was beheading or capturing, it was already the biggest result in the northwest in the past years.

Liu Yannian happily took the banner discarded by the Western Xia Army and ran to Zhang Qi: "Bachelor, bachelor, a big victory!" Our army has won a great victory, and it has not been such a great victory for many years since the commander was planted. Tut-tut, can you help me take a look, what rank of military flag is this in the Western Xia Army? ”

"It's good to take it back and put it on the headset at home, but it's a pity that if it's a military merit, it's not worth much."

The army fought, tens of thousands of people, within a radius of a few miles, or even tens of miles. The best way to tell if you're friend or foe is with the flag.

But the flags are also divided into grades, the battalion flag of the first level in the army, the military flag of the more important level, and the handsome flag.

Of course, there are flags of lower rank than these flags, which are not much credit if they are counted as captures. It is a good choice to put it at home to show off your outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

The flag in Liu Yannian's hand belongs to such a collection.

In the Song army, the banner as a number can be delegated to the command level, that is, there is a banner for 500 people. Because of the large number of tribes, Western Xia will be more chaotic.

Liu Yannian caressed this flag lovingly, and said in anticipation: "It would be nice if the handsome flag of the Zhuo Luo Army, my old Liu would rather not have the credit of the imperial court than report to the Privy Council for military merits." ”

"Dreaming."

Zhang Qi snorted angrily: "If you don't run away when you meet Zhuo Luojun, the old man will respect you as a man." ”

"Dashuai, don't provoke me, if Zhuo Luojun dares to come, my old Liu will risk his life and break off a few of his teeth. So that Xia Gou knows that I, Lao Liu, am not easy to mess with. Liu Yannian patted his chest and vibrated it.

Of the three main forces of Western Xia, how many people did Liu Yannian command? He was stupid to have a hard time with the Zhuoluo army, which was known as 100,000 soldiers. The Western Xia army has already retreated, and if he talks big at this time, who can demolish him?

However, some can't be hidden, Zhang Ji smiled at Liu Yannian and said, "Brother, the opportunity has come." For my brother, I heard that the commander of the Zhuoluo Army, Renduo Baozhong, is on the front line of Yan'an Mansion, and this time we will go to Yan'an Mansion to reinforce you, and you will definitely be able to meet as you wish. ”

Liu Yannian's face suddenly collapsed: "Marshal, the soldiers are tired!" ”

"No, let's go!"

"Dashuai, can you let Lao Liu guard the city?"

"It depends."

Zhang Qi was also exhausted, but if he said it, who splashed it, he told Su Zhe before he came to the northwest that he wanted to cover Su Zhe, and he must do it as a brother.

In the past few days, he has been fighting hard in Mubo Town, and he didn't know that Li Kui outside Jinming Village in Yan'an Mansion had broken the main force of Western Xia, and he still raised troops to rescue Yan'an Mansion according to the agreement.

But thinking of Zhuo Luojun?

And the boss of the Zhuo Luo Army, Renduo is loyal, it's not easy to mess with!

But this time the opponent was not ordinary, even Zhang Ji was quite tired, and lamented in his heart: "Ziyou! Brother can't cover you anymore? ”
