Chapter 52
Shi Qian had been sneaking into Cai Jing's house for a long time.
With his methods, Cai Jing could be found out even if he was wearing underwear at night, not to mention that he was greedy for money and added insult to injury.
"Asshole!"
After Emperor Zhao Ji saw it, he became furious and threw the evidence directly on Cai Jing, with murderous intent in his eyes.
It is true that Zhao Ji is mediocre, but he is also an emperor.
Corrupting the country and having liaisons with foreigners are all leading to Zhao Ji's death. It is strange that he is not angry.
After Cai Jing saw Shi Qian presented the evidence, he immediately felt bad.
Seeing that Zhao Ji was angry at this time, he immediately picked up the letter from the ground with trembling hands.
It’s over!
At first glance, Cai Jing's eyes darkened, he looked as if he had aged ten years, and he almost fainted.
These letters were all exchanges between him and Yelu Liufeng, the king of Nanyuan of Liao Dynasty.
There are no fewer than ten letters, which record Yelu Liufeng's promise to Cai Jing.
Even if Cai Jing wants to do it, he can’t do it now!
There were two other letters, written by Cai Jing to the grain transport officer, which were also stolen by Shi Qian.
It also described in detail how to deceive grain and grass to frame Wu Zhi.
"His Majesty……"
Cai Jing fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, and did not dare to look into Emperor Zhao Ji's eyes.
"Cai Jing, what else do you have to say now?"
Zhao Ji looked around at everyone.
Seeing that all the civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other, he shouted angrily: "I now understand why our country, the Song Dynasty, is so powerful, but there are always internal strife and external humiliation. It turns out that among all the civil and military officials, all
He is a rotten person!"
"Come here, put Cai Jing in jail!"
Zhao Ji was really angry and sent someone to grab Cai Jing from the ground.
The dignified Prime Minister Cai is as embarrassed as a wild dog.
"The officials should calm down. There are indeed some treacherous ministers in the court, but there are also many loyal and capable people, such as Mr. Wu Zhiwu..."
Just when Zhao Ji got angry, Tong Guan didn't open his mouth.
"According to my previous suggestion, Your Majesty should reward Mr. Wu with the title of Taiwei, and also add the title of Duke of the State. In my view, with Mr. Wu's talents, Your Majesty might as well marry the Emperor's concubine. Only in this way can you show the people of the world
Your Majesty loves talents."
Wu Zhi glanced at Tong Guan in surprise.
It has to be said that Tong Guan is much more cunning than Cai Jing.
He was obviously involved in the matter of grain and grass. Not only was he clean now, but he also wisely sided with Wuzhi.
"Well, what Tong Aiqing said makes sense."
After listening to Tong Guan's words, Zhao Ji's mood improved.
"In the court, it is fortunate that there are capable and loyal ministers like Tong Aiqing and Wu Aiqing. Otherwise, the Song Dynasty would be in danger!"
Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh when he saw Tong Guan asking for credit for Wu Zhi.
"Your Majesty leads the world well, and I don't dare to do so."
Tong Guan spoke slightly.
Zhao Ji nodded and looked at Tong Guan with a more friendly look.
Then his eyes moved and he looked at Wu Zhi with a smile.
"Wuzhi Tingfeng, this time you have made great achievements in wiping out the bandits in Liangshan, and you have also seen through Cai Jing's plot, which can be said to have saved the country of the Song Dynasty. I will grant you the title of Taiwei, add the title of Wu Guogong, and recruit you to be the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and choose a day to marry the princess.
"
Zhao Ji is not stingy, and his first-class rewards are unenviable.
"I would like to thank the officials."
After Wu Zhi heard Zhao Ji's reward, he naturally knelt down without hesitation and thanked him.
"Lord Lieutenant, congratulations!"
"Wu Guogong, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Prince-in-law, happy wedding!"
After the emperor's reward came, there were suddenly many people around to congratulate him, with all kinds of names.
Wu Zhi was also very happy.
From this moment on, he could be regarded as officially stepping into the center of power of the Great Song Dynasty.
He turned around and glanced at Tong Guan.
Seeing this, the other party smiled and nodded.
Wu Zhi also smiled on the outside, but secretly said "Old Fox" in his heart.
Taiwei and Privy Council are the most important positions among military officers.
From now on in the court, friction between the two will inevitably occur.
The princess given by Zhao Ji is Zhao Ji's eldest daughter, Jiade Emperor Ji Zhao Yupan.
When Di Ji marries, it is naturally impossible for her to become a child.
Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang and others could only be reduced to equal wives.
After Wu Zhi married Di Ji and became the consort, Wu Yong, a wise man at the border, also escaped and successfully entered the Liao Dynasty.
Wu Yong had an old relationship with Yelu Liufeng, the king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, so he first visited Yelu Liufeng, and then under Yelu Liufeng's recommendation, he went to Beijing to meet with the Lord of Liao Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, was a foolish emperor and was known as the Emperor Tianzhu in history.
He was very fond of Wu Yong's resourcefulness and quickly re-employed Wu Yong and worshiped him as the military advisor to protect the country.
"Commander Wu, what do you think of the comparison of national power between the Liao and Song Dynasties?"
Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi asked Wu Yong.
"Reporting to your majesty, I dare not lie. In terms of national power, the national power of the Song Dynasty is still higher than that of the Liao Dynasty..." Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Um?"
Hearing what Wu Yong said, Emperor Tian Zuo was very unhappy.
"In that case, why have the Liao been the only one to bully the Song for so many years, but no one has ever heard of the Song taking advantage of the Liao?"
Hearing this, Wu Yong bowed his hand to Emperor Tianzuo and said in admiration: "This can only be blamed on the Song Dynasty Lord's mediocrity. When Taizu Taizong was still able to fight against the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Ji only recited poems, painted, played Cuju and walked his dog.
Compared with His Majesty, they are far apart, how can they be matched?"
"Haha, what Mr. Wu said is true!"
After listening to Wu Yong's words, Emperor Tian Zuo was very happy and became more and more pleased with Wu Yong.
Wu Yong's meaning is very obvious.
During the reigns of Taizu and Taizong, the emperors on both sides were wise, so no one could take advantage of me when I came and went.
Now that the Lord of Liao is stronger than the Lord of Song, naturally the Liao Kingdom will suppress the Song Kingdom.
"In your opinion, if the Liao and Song Dynasties fight again, what are the chances of winning?" Yelu Yanxi asked again.
"Your Majesty, the national power of the Song Dynasty is gradually weakening. Not only is the leader of the Song Dynasty fatuous, but also traitors are rampant in the Song court. In addition, the internal insurrectionary army is not in good order. The Song Dynasty is actually an exhausted tiger. If the Liao Dynasty raises troops, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed.
Song Dynasty will be defeated!"
Wu Yong's eyes flashed and he said to Yelu Yanxi.
"Sir is exaggerating a bit. Although the Song Dynasty had internal conflicts, its national strength was still there, and it was not as serious as what he said."
Yelu Liufeng on the side spoke and shook his head.
After listening to Yelu Liuguang's words, Yelu Yanxi also looked suspicious.
"What the King of Nanyuan doesn't know is that the Song Dynasty has been in chaos for a long time, and there is an uprising in Fangla in the south. If it weren't for Wuzhi, a relatively capable person, we, Liangshan, would have conquered Bianjing a long time ago. Even the first-rate bandits in our Liangshan District are like this.
Not to mention the thousands of troops and horses overlooking the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty?"
Wu Yong didn't take it seriously and explained with a smile.
Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Liufeng both felt it made sense after hearing this.
"Mr. Nayi, when is the best time for Daliao to send troops?"
