Chapter 17: Be honest with each other
Teji laughed. After Cai Yan stretched out his hand to make an invitation, he said slowly: "Qiongzhi's father worked as a food envoy, but because of the implementation of the new policy, he was given to make a living by doing small business at home, and he has been depressed. ”
"When Qiong Zhi entered the palace, after Meng Niangniang climbed to Yaohua Palace because of this matter, he has been doing things for Meng Niangniang in the name of the old people of the Yuanyou Party."
"So, Cai Langjun, like Qiong Zhi, is he also an elite person cultivated by Meng Niangniang?" Zhao Fujin had a guess in his heart before, but he didn't expect Cai Ying to be so frank.
"Yes and no." Cai Yan cleaned his hands, opened another pot of tea, and after washing the pot and boiling the soup pot, he continued: "My mother's family and the Meng family's wife are friends in the boudoir, both are the first emperor's queen mother's party, only the head of the Meng family is very discerning, when the Empress Dowager Gao was still in power, he had secretly communicated with the first emperor, and then the Empress Dowager Gao died, and the Meng family rose and was reused by the first emperor. ”
"And my grandfather, relying on the officials who served the three dynasties, had a lot of disrespect for the first emperor, so that he was liquidated, it was the head of the Meng family and Meng Niangniang who worked together to protect the children under the age of ten of my grandfather's family, and did not affect the daughter of the foreign marriage, I and my mother got the benefits of the Meng family, so it was naturally difficult to get out of the matter."
"So, Meng Niangniang has repeatedly secretly attacked me in order not to be cut off by the official family?" Zhao Fujin somewhat understood, Qiong Zhi couldn't harm her, and specially ordered Meng Jiangying to come out, the purpose was to destroy this marriage.
"It was Cai Yan who dragged down the emperor, and asked the emperor to surrender." Cai Yan said the words of Zhao Fujin's guilt, but there was no pause in his hand, and it was only a moment before another tea fragrance wafted out.
The tea served in front of Zhao Fujin: green in color, fragrant in taste, and beautiful in shape, it makes people feel full of tongue just by looking at it.
Zhao Fujin picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly under Qiong Ye's fierce gaze.
Cai Yan was so frank that she flinched.
He dared to admit to his face that he was a member of the Yuanyou Party, but he did not approve of the actions of the Yuanyou Party in his voice, otherwise, he would not say such a thing as not being able to get out of the matter.
So, he wanted to tell himself, was it not his intention to be dragged into the Meng clan's camp?
It's just that what can he do if he doesn't mean it?
Just because he allowed the Meng clan to harm himself, this marriage is up for debate.
"In the minister's opinion~~" Cai Yan put down his sleeves, cleaned his hands, and said slowly: "The current Great Song Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, the eunuchs are in charge, and the truly talented people are squeezed into a corner, and there is no place for them to have no mental strength, which is a pity." ”
Eunuch?
This is talking about his father Cai Jing and the eunuch Tong Guan, right?
"Cai Langjun, you should talk to the official family about these things." Zhao Fujin said.
"Not in his position, not in his government, the subordinate is an official in charge of calligraphy and painting, and the official family discusses political affairs in the name of the name, and the words are not good." Cai Yan sat behind the tea case, looked at Zhao Fujin behind the screen, and replied word by word.
"So, do you want me to refuse this marriage with the official family?" Zhao Fujin knew that the Great Song Dynasty's concubine was famous and had no real power, Cai Ying said this, didn't he want to be the master?
If so, why did he admit to himself that he was the old party and the same as Meng's?
"No, the subordinate can marry the emperor, it is a blessing cultivated by the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Cai family, and the subordinate can't ask for it." Cai Yan's voice was gentle and elegant, and his expression was extremely sincere.
"Then, let me help you ask for power from the official family, so that you can be justified?" Zhao Fujin smiled coldly: "Cai Wulang is so honest, it's really impressive!" ”
Before he became a colt, he thought about using himself to seek power!
Is he foolish and deceitful, or is he whimsical?
This person is beautiful, and he thinks so beautifully!
"Emperor Ji, the Great Song Dynasty's concubine Duwei has no longer been in charge of power since the Divine Sect." Cai Yan was not annoyed when he was stabbed by Zhao Fujin: "After lunch yesterday, Meng Niangniang sent someone to tell me two things, one is that the emperor Ji sent incense sticks to inquire about the Cai and Meng families, and the other is that I heard that the emperor and the official family presented a strange book, and after the official family read it, they changed their minds about building Genyue. ”
"The subordinates were afraid that the people arranged by the emperor would face up to their father and cause misunderstandings, so they arranged for the ministers to wait around them to explain to the emperor in person, and then invited themselves into the palace to accompany him, and in the palace, he saw the geographical mountains and rivers of the emperor and His Majesty."
Speaking of this, Cai Ying's eyes were bright, and his words were full of exclamation: "The subordinates only then know that there is such a big world in this world, and the beauty is really shocking." ”
"Emperor Ji can get such a strange book, it is really a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty!" Speaking of this, he actually stood up, and Shi Shiran saluted again: "Cai Yunliang thanked the emperor on behalf of the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
I see!
The doubts in Zhao Fujin's heart were finally solved.
Modern books have made them, the ancients, see it, and they are shocked, which is inevitable.
It's just that the influence of the Meng family in the palace is indeed too scary, since she was talking in Qionghua Pavilion, she had already reached Cai Yan before she went out - Zhao Fujin thought of Qiong Ye and Qiong Yu beside him, and regretted a little, so when he talked to Cai Ying, he didn't leave them out of the door.
Yesterday, there were only five people waiting in Qionghua Pavilion, and when Qiongzhi was judged, Qiongye and Qiongyu, Xiangye, and Xiangzhi were waiting next to them.
When sending incense sticks to do things, Qiong Zhi was taken out by Qiong Yu, and there were only three people left in the hall: Qiong Ye, Xiang Ye, and Xiang Zhi.
So, who will be the mole?
It seems that in the future, when speaking in his own temple, he will have to be more guarded.
Qiong Ye and Qiong Yu also muttered in their hearts, after all, there were only a few of them in the hall yesterday, and the two of them couldn't escape.
Cai Ying's character turned out to be Yunliang, but it sounded much better than the vegetable strips - Zhao Fujin glanced at Cai Ying, and Meng Shi was able to tell Cai Yan about the matter, which showed that the involvement between the two was very deep, and it was probably difficult to regret it.
"Meng Niangniang treats Cai Langjun very hard." As soon as Zhao Fujin said this, he felt as if there was a sour breath floating in the air.
"It's just a matter of getting things done." Cai Yan replied disapprenously: "Since Cai Xiang took power, most of the old people of Yuanyou have been liquidated, and Meng Niangniang has no competent people to use, only my identity, with Cai Xiang as a cover-up, can do what many people can't." ”
Therefore, Meng Shi found a way to prevent him from marrying Kangfu Diji, right?
After marriage, he became a lieutenant with no real power, and he was not so effective if he wanted to use it.
Moreover, Meng was also afraid that Cai Yan would be co-opted by Emperor Kangfu - no, he was co-opted by Zhao Ji.
Zhao Fujin felt that he had the truth.
So, is the purpose of Cai Ying's appointment to meet him just to surrender?
"Cai Yan asked Emperor Ji to come out, in fact, he had something to ask for." Cai Yan said: "Cai Yan hopes that the emperor can make a marriage contract and save a small life. ”
What do you mean?
Cai Jing knew about his relationship with the Yuanyou party and planned to kill him?
