Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this: "Cai Jiu Cai Dezhang? That's it, don't hurry up and go! ”

He went south this time, in addition to going to Longhu Mountain to verify some things, that is, he wanted to take a trip to Jiangzhou.

There are Pipa Pavilion in Jiangzhou, there is Xunyang Tower, and there is another person he must also meet.

The scenery along the road is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, I don't know when I arrived at this Jiangzhou Mansion, it is said that this place is close to Jinghu Lake, the fish and rice are extensive, the money and grain are huge, the people are vast and the things are abundant, it is an excellent place, otherwise as Cai Jing's nine sons, Cai Dezhang will not be put here.

Although Jiangzhou does not have the power of Hongzhou, it is far better than the state capitals on Jiangnan West Road, and there are waterways that are accessible, you can go east and west, sail away, and it is lively but covers Hongfu.

At this time, Cai Dezhang, the prefect of Jiangzhou, was chatting with his staff in the palace, and there were no outsiders among them, only an idle judge from Wuwei Military City opposite the Xunyang River, called Huang Wenbing.

Wuwei Army is a small suburban town, but it is routinely equipped with such a deputy to judge, although there are a lot of grades, but only short of power, and at the moment at home at home, so since Cai Dezhang was appointed as the prefect, this Huang Wenbing is lively, and he wants to take a walk on the Cai family's door, and whenever he has nothing to do, he carries large and small gifts, and crosses the river by boat to worship.

At present, the prefect of Cai Jiu ate a fruit, wiped the juice on his beard with a silk scarf, and said slowly: "I don't know if the king of Qi drove down Longhu Mountain, this king did not go to Jiangzhou when he came, and he didn't know which path to take when he returned to the dynasty." ”

The staff below looked at each other, and one of them called Sun Shu and said: "Xianggong, forgive your subordinates for being presumptuous, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not here for business, so why should Xianggong care?" ”

Another staff member nodded and said: "My subordinates heard that this second king is not all the way to her husband in the court, so why should the husband hang it in his chest." ”

Cai Dezhang shook his head and smiled, just picked up a fruit from the plate on the table, put it off the plate, and then picked up another one, this time it slipped into his sleeve.

All the staff members pondered, but Huang Wenbing on the side said: "Enxiang is really good at advocating, all the fruits are put on the plate, what if the plate is beaten?" What if the table is overturned? It's still three points to invest, which is the safest! ”

Cai Dezhang looked at Huang Wenbing and nodded slightly: "Wen Bing continue to talk about it." ”

Huang Wenbing's face was frightened, and he said: "I think that although the second king is not the crown prince, but now that he has entered the court and has military power, he is also a towering tree. ”

Cai Dezhang said: "Wen Bing, you are still shallow, the truth of three points is really good, but there are some things that you hide in your heart and dare not say." ”

Huang Wenbing said: "Let En Xiang smile." ”

Cai Dezhang said: "Since it is in your own house, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, but you don't dare to speak, and I don't want to talk about it, otherwise you should be sincerely afraid when you hear it." ”

Everyone said yes, began to eat the fruit, all praised its delicious and sweet, at this time someone suddenly reported outside, outside the city to see the king of Qi driving.

The prefect of Cai Jiu laughed: "Come also, come also, come with me out of the city to greet you." ”

Jiangzhou big city, officials do not know how many, more than 100 people are out to greet, the south gate into the city, a feast, the prefect yamen is full.

Zhao Ta didn't know Cai Dezhang before, after all, Cai Jing's eighth son, this ninth son did not have his impression, and now that there is more of this person, it is natural to understand it.

He originally wanted to knock on the Cai family, after all, whether it was in the court or in the imperial city, he and the Cai family were not all the way, and the Cai family supported the third prince Zhao Kai, which was like an opponent to him.

But this Cai Jiu prefect took his posture very low, and did not mention the Cai family for half a point in his words, just to say some things about cultural governance and martial arts, Zhao Ta thought about it a little, and understood the truth, but he didn't break it, just said some scenes, and then said some literary and romantic deeds.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ta suddenly said: "Governor Cai hasn't been back to Tokyo for a long time?" ”

Cai Dezhang said: "I have been concerned by the prince for more than a year. ”

Zhao Ta said: "This Jiangzhou raises people, here is happy, not thinking about Beijing." ”

Cai Dezhang said with a smile: "The prince said that he was joking, but where the responsibility lies, how dare he get Longwangshu, Zhang can be a prefect for one term, and he will know enough." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and sighed: "In the past, I was not familiar with Cai Zhifu, and it was difficult to recognize Dezhang's talent and courage, but when I saw it today, it was a pearl that has been in the dust for a long time." ”

When Cai Dezhang heard this, even though he knew that His Royal Highness the King of Qi had some ill intentions in his words, he still felt a move in his heart.

Yes, there are eight brothers in the family, except for the second brother who passed away at an early age, which one of the others is not higher than his official position? And they are all in the bustling place of Tokyo, living in the height of the temple, where is the rivers and lakes as far away as him? In contrast, it is really like heaven and earth, this small Jiangzhou prefect ...... Indeed, he has bent his talents!

Zhao Ta saw that he was silent, and said: "Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that Cai You, the eldest prince of your mansion, has the talent of the prime minister, and it will be a good story." ”

The prefect of Cai Jiu pursed his lips and said, "There is such a thing, I am afraid that my brother has offended people somewhere, and he has been praised and killed by bad words." ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said: "Brother Ling, I have known each other for a long time, and I do have this talent, but I know Dezhang later, you are also talented!" ”

The prefect of Cai Jiu just smiled on his face, but there were waves in his heart, he knew that Zhao Ta's words were by no means groundless, this was not only the king of Qi, but also the commander of the guards and the pro-military division, the envoy of Shao Wujun, the prince of Taishi, and the prince of Shang Shuling.

will never believe it, that is to say, there are indeed such rumors in Tokyo, and when he thinks of this, the prefect of Cai Jiu can't help but feel sour.

He is a concubine, or the worst concubine, his mother is just a contract concubine, think about the experience of the hidden Liang Shicheng, you know how unpopular this identity is.

But he's okay, Cai Jing is quite "alone" and doesn't like to serve as concubines, so he was born in Cai's mansion, although there is no difference between studying the imperial examination and other brothers, but once he is released, it is very different.

The other brothers are all Beijing officials, at least there is a university scholar, he is the prefect of Jiangzhou is the bald prefect, from the four products, the entire Jiangnan West Road only knows that Hongzhou is the fourth product, because Hongzhou is the capital, but this position is often concurrently served by the pacification envoy or the economic envoy all the way, far from his turn.

Jiangzhou is indeed a good place, the land of fish and rice, and it is so fat, but isn't Jingguan better? Cai Dezhang felt that if he was in the capital and had the title of the son of Cai Jing, he would definitely not be less than this bird Jiangzhou.

He also wrote to Cai Jing, with vague words indicating that he wanted to move his position, but this old man didn't even reply, and when he thought of this, he was a little depressed.

"The prince praised it falsely, and Dezhang didn't dare to be ashamed." The prefect of Cai Jiu raised his glass and punished himself.

Zhao Ta looked at him, and when he saw what was in his heart, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and drank a glass of wine.

At this time, someone came over to fill the wine, and Zhao Ta saw that it was a middle-aged man with a beard, and couldn't help but say: "Dezhang, how can there be a servant of such age at this banquet?" ”

Seeing that it was Huang Wenbing, the prefect of Cai Jiu couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord, this is not a slave in the family, this is a ...... Wen Bing, you are so bold that you dare to offend the prince! ”
