Returning home from the palace, Zhao Ji was in a trance.

The emperor wants to send an envoy to visit Dali, is there any opportunity to use it himself?

For Zhao Ji, going to Dali at this time is really beneficial. First, you can go to the Infinite Mountain to see if you can find the Northern Spiritual Skill and Ling Bo Weibu, second, you can get to know the famous martial arts Duan Huangye's family, see the Yang Finger and even the Six Veins Divine Sword, and third, and most importantly, you can avoid the current dark tide of the atmosphere in Bianliang City.

After returning to the palace, the more Zhao Ji thought about it, the more he felt that he should take this opportunity to go to Dali. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have another opportunity in the future. From Bianliang to Dali, thousands of miles away, in the Great Song Dynasty, where the traffic is basically relied on, I am afraid that it will take only a year and a half to go back and forth. Even if the emperor allowed Zhao Ji to leave Beijing, it was impossible for him to run around for a whole year and not come back. If you wait a few more years and wait for yourself to make your own decisions, it is even more impossible to leave everything behind and go to Dali. Thinking about it like this, I'm afraid this is my only chance to go to Dali.

Although for Zhao Ji, going to Dali or not going to Dali is not an unacceptable loss, but if there is a chance to go to the last time, it must not be missed!

However, how to win this opportunity still needs to be carefully planned. It is absolutely not okay to recommend himself first, the emperor is now in a period of extreme psychological sensitivity, and any slight out-of-the-box move is unbearable in his eyes.

Since he can't fight for it, then what is the way for the emperor to remember to send him as an envoy to Dali?

This problem seems to be unsolvable, and it is reasonable that there is no need for the imperial court to send such an idle prince as itself to Fanbang as an envoy, especially in such a sensitive period.

But since he had already moved his mind, Zhao Ji would not give up lightly, locked himself in the study, racking his brains to think of a suitable method.

First of all, it is certain that the resumption of the tribute of the Dali Kingdom was of great significance to both the emperor and the new party. Although Emperor Taizu's tone was "not far away", the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty was not very close since the founding of the country, and in the current form, the center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty's diplomatic relations was still on the Liao State in the north and the Western Xia in the west. However, this incident was the first event of great influence and significance since the emperor was in power at the same time and the new law was restored, and they inevitably made a big fuss about it.

Zhao Ji wants to get involved in this matter, and the emperor's way can't go, so he must think of it from the side of the new party. However, there has always been a lack of contact and tacit understanding between himself and the courtiers, so he went to the door so rashly, not to mention whether the goal could be achieved for the time being, but I was afraid that he would be included in a book first.

But if it is Cai Jing who is in charge, it seems that it is not completely impossible......

Cai Jing can be said to be the opposite of Su Shi, Su Shi is a ruthless character that both parties look at and get tired of, but Cai Jing has a very good relationship with both the old and new parties. He himself is a member of the new party, Wang Anshi was a right-hand man when he presided over the reform of the law, and after the old party came to power, he was praised by Sima Guang, a veteran of the old party, and he was recognized by the two parties as the prime minister, which shows that this person is extraordinary.

Zhao Ji thought of this Cai Jing, but there was always a little different taste in his heart, not because of Cai Jing's name as one of the "six thieves". Zhao Ji himself also understands that Cai Jing is a truly talented person, and most of the reason why he bears notoriety in history should be counted on his predecessor and the chaotic government of the late Northern Song Dynasty. He just felt the fate that seemed to be untraceable in the dark, and it seemed that he couldn't avoid renewing his bad relationship with Cai Jing.

It's just that with his current state, it is very difficult to let Cai Jinggao take a look. I feel the recontinuation of my bad fate here, but I'm afraid that it is still wishful thinking to shave my head and pick my head. Cai Jing is now in the position of Shangshu, and the official family strongly supports a cadre of New Party figures, so he may not be willing to deign to burn his own cold stove.

It's useless to think too much, since there is only one way in front of you, no matter what, you have to give it a try. Zhao Ji called Liang Shicheng, who was yawning, into the room, and asked in a deep voice, "Cai Jing and Master Cai, are you familiar with this person?"

Liang Shicheng heard this question, thought carefully for a moment, and said: "Bachelor Cai is now a hot celebrity in front of Zhang Xianggong Zhang, and I often hear people say that if you only compare the understanding and comprehension of the new law of Xianggong, Zhang Xianggong is still a step worse than Bachelor Cai. ”

"Needless to say, what I want to know is, what is Master Cai's private personality, and has he ever had any experience in dealing with each other?" Zhao Ji continued to ask.

Liang Shicheng smiled when he heard this question: "This is naturally there, before the promotion a year ago, Master Cai had been sitting in Kaifeng Mansion and was the parent official of our Bianliang City. Last year, Lord Wang, you wanted to help the beggars take root in Bianliang City, and some of the small things were to take the path of Master Cai. Bachelor Cai is a person who is very good at talking, and some things that do not violate taboos can always be solved as long as they meet in the past. In the month of the year ago, Master Cai was promoted, because the prince was closed to thank the guests, and the contact with the outside world was interrupted, and the small self-assertion prepared a congratulatory ceremony to send over. After entering the pavilion, Bachelor Cai had a lot of taboos, although he never thanked him back, but he also sent a message to thank the prince for his generous gift. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed, and felt that Liang Shi had become a person and was indeed a rare talent. He smiled and said, "Well done! In the future, such people will deal with such human relations in the future, if I can't remember, I will deal with them like this." ”

After receiving the praise, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but be complacent, and said: "This is all a small matter, you don't blame the little self-assertion, you really don't deserve praise." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Lord Wang, you ask these things, do you want to make friends with Master Cai? If in the past, when Master Cai knew Kaifeng Mansion, it was nothing, but now he has entered the central ......."

"I understand that this has to be considered in the long run. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and listened to Liang Shicheng's construction. Although there is already a good foundation between the two sides, but now Cai Jing's identity is different after all, if he goes to the door rashly, it will be difficult to have any good results, so how to deepen the connection with Cai Jing really needs to be seriously considered and discussed. The emperor's dispatch to Dali was only an intention, and the court decided to make a final trip, and there was a result in March at the earliest. So, he still has plenty of time.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ji rushed to the other courtyard to see Quan Guanqing, and instructed him to let his subordinates keep an eye on Cai Jing with all their might, and to find out Cai Jing's whereabouts and what he did every day.

Quan Guanqing has received a specific task from Zhao Ji for the first time since he started his business, and he is faintly excited in his heart, saying that he will successfully complete the task!

Although Quan Guanqing's gang is everywhere, this mission is different from wandering around the city aimlessly in the past. In order to avoid accidents, Zhao Ji still told Quan Guanqing to be cautious, and would rather use more time than let Cai Jing notice. The most important thing is not to let the gang realize what they are doing, after all, these people have negative behavior, and it is really difficult to keep their mouths shut.

Quan Guanqing has summed up some routines to do this kind of thing, but he doesn't think it's too difficult to do, and after receiving the order, he will arrange the manpower layer by layer, but there is no clear instruction, but the manpower near Cai Jing's mansion is doubled. There are many people, even if they don't deliberately investigate, all kinds of information and intelligence about Cai Jing are constantly gathered.

In this small test, Quan Guanqing intended to fight for a wonderful table in front of Zhao Ji, and almost buried in the vast amount of messy information that was collected all day long, sifting out pieces of useful information, and then compiling them into a book and sending them to the palace. is so busy and attentive, it only took three days, and Cai Jing's daily whereabouts and daily habits were sorted out into a general context.

Seeing that Quan Guanqing was so efficient, Zhao Ji was really overjoyed and praised him, and at the same time began to carefully study the information in his hand, and make full use of this information.

Cai Jing's daily whereabouts and demeanor are nothing special, and he is as calm and elegant as most scholars and doctors in this era, going to work in the government office for half a day every day, or living in the mansion after work, or going out to wander and enjoy the calligraphy and painting shop under Panlou Street, or attending a colleague's banquet. On the day of the bath, guests will also be entertained at home.

Zhao Ji wants to get in touch with Cai Jing further, and some more public and eye-catching occasions naturally can't, they must be more secretive, and the atmosphere can't be too dignified, and they can't reveal too much deliberate management. After waiting like this for more than half a month, he finally waited for a suitable opportunity.
