It was the first time Zhao Bufan walked into the backyard of Cai's mansion!

Looking at the surrounding rockeries, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, his heart was greatly impacted.

My God, how much does such a huge mansion cost, this is the inner city of Tokyo, if this mansion is sold, the land price alone is enough for my people to eat for half a year, Cai Jing, this old guy will really enjoy it!

This...... The decorations on these corridors turned out to be carved from rosewood, is it necessary to be so extravagant?

Huh, this rockery is so weird?

Oh my God, this is jade that has not yet been opened, using jade to make a rockery?

The more Zhao Bufan walked, the more frightened he became, and finally understood what it meant to gather the essence of the world, and to get the beauty of the north and south!

With Caifu, why do you need to visit the world, go directly to Caifu for a walk, and see all the treasures!

"General Zhao?"

Yun Zhen's old face showed doubts, and he called a few times in a row, but he didn't see Zhao Bufan answer.

"General Zhao?"

"Huh!" Zhao Bufan came back to his senses.

Yun Zhen pointed to the pavilion in the middle of the small lake in the distance, and said softly: "Cai Xiang has been waiting over there for a long time, the general can just go!"

The other party was quite polite, and Zhao Bufan was not rude, so he immediately smiled and nodded: "Thank you!"

Yun Zhen was still expressionless, bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Zhao Bufan took a deep breath and walked towards the lake, not thinking that he was still on the bridge, but Cai Jing suddenly waved enthusiastically.

"Come on, come and see if I have a wonderful goldfish?"

This kind voice really made Zhao Bufan have a moment of froze, and he added three points of vigilance in his heart, but he smiled equally affectionately on his face and said: "I didn't expect Enxiang to show his pen and ink today, and he really made the students catch up with a coincidence, and they must take a good look, if they can learn three or five tricks, they will naturally be of infinite use!"

Cai Jing looked down at the painting on the stone table, his eyes flashed with a gleam, but when he raised his head, his face was already full of gentleness.

"Extraordinary! Your kindness makes me so sad, you have been back to Beijing for so long, and you don't say that you have come to see my old bones, why do you completely treat me as an outsider?"

Zhao Bufan scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Enxiang, the students are not all for the purpose of recuperating their injuries, you see that the students' bodies are better, why don't they come and walk around immediately?"

Cai Jing smiled even more happily, and the wrinkles on his old face were layered on top of each other.

"Since you are here to walk around, then I have to talk about you, you are now also a general of the unified army, and you should also know some etiquette, how can there be an empty hand when you walk around the door, today you are here with me, but you don't have to care about those, you just think you are going back to your own home, if you go to someone else's house, won't you laugh at you behind your back!"

Okay, you Cai Jing, you actually scolded me for not knowing etiquette.

Zhao Bufan snorted coldly in his heart, opened his mouth and replied: "Enxiang is right, Enxiang teaches well, students have always learned one and one, and never live up to Enxiang's expectations!"

These words were directly blocked back by Cai Jing, and the hidden meaning was that I learned from you and lived up to your high expectations.

Cai Jing couldn't understand, but he didn't get angry, but laughed, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Bufan to sit down, and also summoned the maids guarding the stone bridge, and asked them to collect all the four treasures of the study, and replace them with tea and pastries.

After waiting for the servants and maids to go away, he gently picked up the teapot and personally served tea to Zhao Bufan.

"Extraordinary, you are not what you used to be! I didn't missee anyone back then, you are really a manufacturable material!"

Zhao Bufan didn't hear any problems with this, thought about it, and replied politely: "Speaking of this, I really want to thank Enxiang, if it weren't for Enxiang's protection and support to the students over the years, how could the students have survived until now!"

Hearing this, Cai Jing shook his head with a smile, and soon stretched out his hand again: "Let's not talk about that, you can taste this tea first, this is the best West Lake Longjing sent by Zhu Mian from Hangzhou, produced in Geling Baoyun Mountain, called Baoyun tea, it tastes good, except for the Imperial Palace, only I can taste it here in this Tokyo city!"

Zhao Bufan looked at him, picked up the teacup and sniffed it, and then drank it.

"How's it going?" asked Cai Jing.

Zhao Bufan recalled the feeling in his mouth and the fragrance of the tip of his nose, and nodded with a smile: "The fragrance of this tea is tender and fresh, the taste is delicious and sweet, it is indeed a good tea!"

Cai Jing smiled faintly, picked up the teapot again and filled it for him, and then put down the teapot and looked into his eyes with burning eyes.

"You're the tea!"

"What do you say?" Zhao Bufan was surprised, not understanding the meaning of Cai Jing's words.

"When I first met you, you made me deeply loved, just like drinking this superb West Lake Longjing, very tasteful, but do you know that this is green tea after all, and it will quickly become tasteless after tasting it for a long time, and if you continue to soak for a long time, it will deteriorate and become bitter!"

Zhao Bufan understood, knowing that this was Cai Jing describing the feeling he brought him, and was thinking about how to answer, but Cai Jing had already taken the lead again: "From the heart, regardless of other scruples, I like you very much, you are both civil and military, ambitious, strict with yourself, your subordinates have the way, and you know more about power and strategy, which always reminds me of when I was young, but you are even better than I was then!"

"The student is not worthy of being called ......"

Cai Jing raised his hand to interrupt: "Forget it, you don't have to pretend to be so tired, there are no outsiders here, you and I might as well get straight to the point!"

Having said this, Zhao Bufan naturally relaxed, put away the smile on his face at the moment, and said calmly: "Actually, in terms of personal feelings alone, there is nothing wrong with calling a favor Xiang, if it wasn't for the initial attention and care of Grace Xiang, I would have been killed by Tong Guan in Northern Xinjiang, where is there today?"

"You are a person who values affection!" Cai Jing's eyes burned.

"Sort of!"

"But if you want to realize the ambition in your heart, if you want to stabilize the world, then you must be cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"Not necessarily, there are thousands of paths, the right direction, you can reach the end after all!"

These words made Cai Jing close his eyes and remain silent, and at this time he looked extremely old and quiet.

A gentle breeze blew from the lake, lifting the gray hair on his sideburns, and he sighed softly and drank from his teacup.

"This cup of tea respects your heart to serve the country, to everything you have done for the Great Song Dynasty, although I don't agree with your ideas, I don't agree with your cognition, but I hope you can go on firmly, don't be like me, I lost my way while walking, and suddenly turned back but I didn't know the way back, I was old, and even my own son wanted to kill me, the ancients said that there must be a father and a son, and it's really true, I am still a big traitor, how can my son learn?"

Zhao Bufan didn't know whether Cai Jing was sincere or false at the moment, he couldn't understand those unfathomable eyes, and he couldn't see through the wrinkled face, but since Cai Jing said so, he also responded casually: "In the Analects, if you hear the Tao, you can die at night!

"Can I recite the Analects backwards, can you tell me this?" Cai Jing pouted and smiled, and asked rhetorically: "If I turn back, I will be beheaded all over the house! If I turn back, I will be cut by a thousand cuts! If I turn back, thousands of people will want me to die! If it is you, will you go back?"

Zhao Bufan's lips moved, and he simply replied with two words: "No return!"

There was a long silence.

Cai Jing's eyes were fascinated, his eyes gradually drifted away, and the old face suddenly showed a proud smile.

"When I was young, I was also talented and ambitious, at that time I thought about getting ahead, to rejuvenate the country and the country, for more than 20 years, I am not a head cantilever cricket, others are having fun, I am reading, others are sleeping, I am also reading! Others can only read a few sentences of the Analects, but I have memorized the Analects backwards! Others only know how to write a few big characters, but I have copied hundreds of times a subset of the classics!

After how many winters, summers, springs and autumns, failure again and again, setbacks again and again, I never gave up, never flinched, finally won the fame, entered the court, at that time I was high-spirited, determined to rejuvenate the country, I worked hard in the locality, won the love of the people, when the envoy to the Great Liao was not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of power, for the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty and fought for reason, how could the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty not have my share of credit?

At the beginning, my Enxiang Wang Anshi intended to change the law and reform the system, I revered him, tried my best to support him, it was really effective at the beginning, the country is rich, the soldiers are strong, but the Enxiang is also a person, he will also make mistakes, he also has too many improper measures, and he does not listen to advice, insists that he is right, he not only caused the political turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, the rich gentry and landlords hate us to the bone, but also promulgated the wrong laws and regulations such as the Baoma Law and the Qingmiao Law, so that the people complained, and even appeared in order to escape his decree and cut off his wrist, how radical is this?

I was originally a sincere heart to serve the country, but I was also insulted by the people and hated me to the bone, what do you want me to do?

At that time, the struggle for power between the ministers of the old and new factions was also very fierce, and I was disheartened, so I chose to sway from side to side, and made up my mind to seize power; since everyone insulted me as a traitor, then I would be a real traitor and take a look. Why can't you live for yourself?"

When Cai Jing said this, he was emotional, and his eyes were full of indignation.

Seeing that Cai Jing was already talking from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Bufan looked at him for a long time, and no longer hid and pinched, and smiled disdainfully: "Enxiang, you are making excuses for yourself, shaking is shaking, if you can't bear it, you can't bear it, Enxiang can't bear this country, so he chooses to carry himself, and the subset of scriptures and history is read in vain!"

These words made Cai Jing instantly angry, and he was so angry that he directly overturned the teapot in front of him, and the tea spilled all over the ground.

"Who are you to accuse me of that? You're just trying to make a name for yourself in history, but you're pretending to be here?"

Zhao Bufan was calm and looked at him quietly.

"Eun Xiang, when did the student get his name?"

Cai Jing was also poked in the pain point just now, so he was furious, but he had calmed down in a blink of an eye, took a deep breath, and sat back calmly, his eyes burning.

"Then what are you trying to do? Do you still want to map this country? Then you are bolder than the old man, as long as you dare to do it, not only the old man, but many people will let you die without a place to be buried!"

"Enxiang, this is a bit heavy, and the student can't afford to charge such a felony for the student!"

Zhao Bufan smiled slightly, he didn't intend to tell the truth, but he didn't intend to deceive, and said narrowly: "Enxiang doesn't know, in fact, students are very different, because students are born beggars, and they especially hate beggars, they snatched half of my steamed buns, causing me to be hungry for two days and crying all night, they also beat me, bullied me, and beat me all over my body, so I want to make no more beggars in this world!"

"You ......" Cai Jing was surprised.

"Isn't that enough?"

Zhao Bufan was smiling, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Then the student gave another reason, I was poor when I was a child, but I was very smart, so I made some gadgets, intending to change the dilemma of poverty in my family, but the people in the village actually united to smash me because of jealousy, and said that I was a demon, and let the Taoist priest come to exorcise evil spirits for me, and forcibly put me in a foul-smelling thing and locked me up for a whole day and a night, and my adoptive parents were so distressed that they couldn't eat for several days.

I'm afraid I don't know, I'm a very grudgeful person, I hate their jealousy, so I want to kill the jealousy, I hate the greed of those officials, so I want to kill the greed, I hate those evil hearts, so I want to kill the evil heart.

It's easy to kill, but it's hard to punish your heart!

I thought about it, what should I do?

By the way, then we can only build schools, strictly enforce the law, and let them all live and work in peace and contentment! One is to kill their hearts with knowledge, the other is to imprison their hearts with the law, and the third is to let everyone live a good life, and those evil hearts will naturally die, and then my great revenge will naturally be avenged!

It's just that there are always many people in the court who don't let me take revenge, and it's really difficult for students to do it, but the student is a big traitor, how can he not take revenge? So I want to get rid of all the stumbling blocks, and if anyone doesn't let me punish my heart, then I'll kill whom! What does Eun Xiang think of the student's idea, and is he willing to help the student?"

Cai Jing was dumbfounded when he said this, and he looked at Zhao Bufan speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed: "You not only kill people, but also punish your heart, which is really hateful! Hateful! We people are so important in your heart? Do you just take care of yourself? Do you have to go to great lengths to fight us?"

"No, no, no! Eun Xiang is wrong, you don't really mean anything to me!"

As he spoke, Zhao Bufan paused and continued: "But you are very important to me!"

Such a resolute attitude made Cai Jing fall silent again, thinking about Zhao Bufan's actions in Northern Xinjiang, his heart was also very shocked, and this old man who was about to die didn't know what he was thinking at this moment.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Bufan, his old face looking extremely firm.

"You support me to get rid of the rebel, I will help you get rid of Tong Guan, as long as you don't rebel in the future, I will support you, and even give you the salary of the Cangzhou Liutun Forbidden Army!"

"Huh?" Zhao Bufan looked at him sharply.

What's the matter with this old man?

It's a pity that no matter how much he speculates, he can't conclude Cai Jing's thoughts.
