Cai Jing’s transformation and development

Royal study room.

The old Cai Jing and the majestic Tong Guan were kneeling on the ground, trembling with their shoulders together.

The Song Dynasty's courtesy to scholars was the highest in history, and its national policy of "ruling the world with scholar-bureaucrats" was not just a matter of words.

Therefore, no one is asked to kneel down to speak when the emperor and his ministers are answering their questions.

Especially veterans like Cai Jing have extra dignity.

However, at this moment, they not only knelt down, but also trembled.

Without him, no matter how friendly or even frivolous the officials are on weekdays, when he gets angry, he is still the emperor who holds the highest authority in the empire.

Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be scared.

"Yun'an, Nanfeng, Jingnan! Three prefectures and thirty-five counties! In the heart of this dynasty, the rebels are invading the prefectures and occupying the prefectures. They are invincible, but I don't know anything about it! What are you thinking? What are you thinking?

What do you want to do? Do you want to wait until the rebels arrive outside the imperial city so that I can know about it?"

Zhao Ji's face was livid, his voice was fierce, his saliva was flowing down, and the sour smell of gastrointestinal irritation was sprayed on Cai Jing and Tong Guan's faces.

The two of them did not blink, their expressions were as bright as rain, and they profoundly demonstrated the basic qualities of high-ranking officials.

"Your Majesty!" Tong Guan took advantage of his good health and kowtowed heavily. When he raised his face again, tears were streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, I only hate that I have devoted myself to Liao affairs in the past few years.

, and cultivated the military affairs of the Qin and Jin Dynasties so intensively that they suddenly lost sight of the basic principles of the country and the dynasty. I really do not deserve the high hopes of your majesty, and deserve death."

While crying loudly, he glanced at Cai Jing proudly and blinked, which meant: Hey, brother, please carry this pot on your back.

Speaking of these two traitorous ministers, they are not only sons and daughters, but also a pair of happy enemies.

It turns out that when Tong Guan was in the Jinming Bureau of Hangzhou in his early years, he met Cai Jing, who was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. The two fell in love at first sight and became friends. Cai Jing "accompanied" Tong Guan day and night.

Painted screens, fan ribbons and other items were delivered to the palace at a reasonable price, and he was highly praised. This made Zhao Ji's favor towards Cai Jing grow day by day, and paved the way for his return to Beijing and his reinstatement.

After Cai Jing returned to the prime minister, he reciprocated the favor by recommending Tong Guan to supervise the army in the northwest, and strongly supported his strategy of conquering Qingtang. Later, he promoted him to Jiedushi, which satisfied the eunuch's desire to make achievements.

However, the friendship between villains has never lasted long since ancient times.

Cai Jingtong and Cai Jingtong are both power-hungry and profit-seeking people. At first, they supported each other and were as close as sugar to honey. Later, when they each gained power, they had to play the old trick of not allowing two tigers in one mountain.

Cai Jing desperately wanted to get involved in the military power, while Tong Guan continued to support the members of the court, trying to grab meat from the other party's bowl. The situation became so fierce that people at the time called Cai Jing the public minister and Tong Guan the female prime minister.

When Cai Jing saw Tong Guan's proud look, he was so angry that he glared, and thought to himself that this old woman really deserves to die. What he said was to retreat in order to make progress, and to be clean, doesn't it mean that it's all my fault?

Sure enough, the emperor listened to Tong Guan's words and just snorted: "Although you are busy, you are the commander-in-chief of the army after all. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if you don't know about such important things?"

Then he glared at Cai Jing angrily: "You old man, I have entrusted the affairs of the country to you, but you dare to cover up such a big thing and deceive the emperor. Is this a sin that cannot be pardoned?"

It’s my turn! Cai Jing secretly said: Old lady, please open your eyes wide. I want you to see the supreme method of receiving hair!

In an instant, the old thief had already mobilized all his artistic cells, smiled bleakly, looked at the emperor with a pair of old eyes tenderly and helplessly, blinked slightly, two lines of tears rolled down, and a sad trembling sound came from deep in his throat: "Your Majesty, old minister,

A capital crime!" A few unclear syllables rolled out of his throat, as if he was almost speechless due to excessive sadness.

Then he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake off his lifelong regret. Suddenly his neck stiffened, and his voice turned sharp, mourning like a cuckoo crying blood: "Old minister, I have faced many difficulties and went through many twists and turns, but I finally couldn't hide it.

If Your Majesty learns about this matter, he will be heartbroken and exhausted. This is all the fault of the old minister!"

After saying this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying until he was sweating profusely.

Tong Guanhu stared: Wonderful, I caught it now! This old thief, he actually admitted his crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors!

But listening to his voice and looking at his expression, every detail says: I have a difficult time.

That invisible spirit of loyalty was probably nothing more than that when Zhuge Wuhou came to serve as his master.

The emperor was also shocked by his behavior: "Slow down, slow down, Lao Qing, do you mean that you really want to hide it from me?"

Cai Jing nodded with tears in his eyes, his eyes seemed to be self-deprecating but firm at the same time, as if he was saying: I know that no one in the world will understand me, but even so, even if there are thousands of people, I will go!

The tone gradually became more generous and sonorous: "Yes! This is exactly what I want to hide from Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the emperor enjoys the worship of the world and is the rightful master of the world. If the emperor is worried, the world will be worried. If the emperor is happy, the world will be happy. Since the old minister is

Prime Minister, on behalf of your majesty’s herdsmen, you tolerate small things and burn your majesty’s mood, so that the whole world is worried and all the people find it difficult to be happy? Therefore, I decided to hide it for the time being, hoping to calm down the traitor Wang Qing, and then inform your majesty again to gain the emperor’s heart.

Anle. Alas..."

When he said this, he let out a long and long sigh, which was endless.

It's coming, it's about to be transformed! Tong Guan held his breath and looked forward to Taishi Cai's performance with reverence.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Cai Jing's old mouth: "It's a pity that I didn't expect that there are very few athletes in the army today, and there are no men who dare to die. Several encirclement and suppression campaigns were unsuccessful, so that the thieves became more powerful and even disrupted the capital.

Kidnapping the emperor's concubine, killing my son, giving away the white-haired man to the black-haired man, this is the retribution of an old minister who has done nothing to harm the country..."

When he said this, his figure was shaky and he seemed to be extremely sad.

"Alas..." The emperor had already entered Cai Jing's rhythm, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply. He thought of Cai Jing, who was very old. Last year, his ninth son died, and this year his fifth son died. Every year, he died. It's really pitiful.

.His artistic temperament began to take hold, and he began to sympathize with Cai Jing: "Old Ai Qing has good intentions, but she doesn't know anything about military affairs..."

When Cai Jing heard this, he burst into tears and cried out pitifully: "Old minister, at this age, don't you know your own parents' shortcomings? Therefore, in sending troops and everything, they obey the arrangements of Captain Gao. Now it seems that Captain Gao is also unreliable.

Fortunately, God blessed the Song Dynasty. At this juncture, Taifu Tong returned to the court. He was known as a soldier. He fought in Xixia and Liao Dynasty, and demonstrated the country's prestige. If he went to suppress Wang Qing, he would definitely have the power to plow the court and sweep holes.

The three states in Huaixi can be peaceful day and night."

Damn it, this old dog actually found its way to me! Tong Guan stared, deeply shocked by Cai Jing’s Jiehua technique.

However, Cai Jing really had no choice but to catch this shot.

Tong Guan firmly believed that as long as he showed the slightest reluctance, Cai Jing would immediately recommend his confidant to take command. If he won the battle, he would receive all the benefits.

It was because he refused to do anything, so we tried our best to do it, and finally failed like this.

What a set of hair extensions! Tong learned the lesson!

Tong Guan glared at Cai Jing bitterly, and when he looked at the emperor, the words "loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous, killing thieves with a wholehearted heart" were written all over his face. He clasped his fists heavily and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Tong didn't know before, so he did something small.

Sir, now that Tong is still in court, how can he be allowed to be arrogant? I beg Your Majesty to allow me to gather troops and horses, and defeat this thief with one blow, then you will win my heart!"

Cai Jing rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: "There is no more handsome man in this dynasty than the Taifu. However, it is difficult for a famous commander to succeed without the support of brave generals. Although there are many elite soldiers and generals under the Taifu, they have to guard the border. For a moment, they are afraid.

It is difficult to draw them out. There are a few in the veteran minister's pocket who are capable of fighting and dare to fight. I would like to recommend them all as generals to help Mr. Tong achieve great achievements and relieve the king's worries."

Tong Guan didn't expect Cai Jing to have another patch, and was stunned for a moment: If we lose, my commander is incompetent, but if we win, you have merit in recommending me. Old dog, you are so scheming!

Just as he was looking for an excuse to refuse, a general from the imperial camp suddenly came running towards him: "Report to your majesty - Lieutenant Gao led his troops to chase the thieves. They were ambushed forty miles away by Liangshan soldiers and horses, and were severely defeated.

The Taiwei died on the spot, and most of his generals were killed. The imperial camp went to the rescue, but was also defeated. The two generals, Dragon and Tiger, were killed, and the instructor of the Golden Spear Squadron was nowhere to be found."

This news stunned the officials. The enemy troops dispersed the imperial army and the imperial camp forty miles outside the capital. Doesn't it mean that the capital is also in danger? After a moment of reaction, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, and he exclaimed: "Tong Taifu

, Hurry, hurry up and order some troops to protect me from going to Jinling for inspection."

Cai Jing quickly got up and said: "Yes, yes, Master Tong, I will wait for the Holy Protector to patrol the south, and then mobilize the soldiers and horses from all over the world to suppress Liangshan!"

When Tong Guan saw this, the emperor and his ministers had no masters. Tong Guan raised his thick eyebrows and said something unhurriedly!

As the saying goes: The eunuchs compete at the top of their game, and the ladies compete for the lead. The transformation is as fast as lightning, and the young privy minister takes command and holds the whip.
