Chapter 42 Cai Jing Cai Taishi
Li Wangchen went straight to Lin'an Mansion.
He knew very well that entering Beijing this time would be completely different from his previous goals.
He originally came for peace, but instead he became a source of turmoil. He originally came for survival, but instead he caused a bloody storm.
But he has no regrets.
However, Wang Xiaoshi, Guo Dalu and Wen Wen value him more and more and admire him.
They have gradually changed their name for him, becoming - "Brother Song"!
He used to be Brother Song, but now he is Brother Song. Sometimes calling someone brother does not necessarily mean calling someone a brother sincerely. But respectfully and sincerely calling him brother can mean so much.
The process of entering Lin'an Mansion was extremely peaceful.
No one knows what happened in Jiangling yet. They only know that all the news about the Jiangling Mansion case has disappeared. The children have returned to their homes, and their parents have been interviewed by Governor Wen, forming a huge force.
, but stands neutral.
They were indifferent to Lei Xiang and even more distant to Su Mengzhen.
This kind of indifference and alienation is very emboldened and well-founded. Because they have paid the price, they should naturally have the privilege - the privilege of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
This group of people is obviously very smart and also very helpless, because this kind of privilege is obtained at the expense of the health and life of their children. Jinfeng Xiaoyulou and Liufenbantang are both in the wrong on this matter, so naturally they are more
It's not good to push too hard.
In this regard, Su Mengzhen was just confused. Did Lei Shan see through Zhao Tieleng's undercover?
Lei Xiang was just puzzled. Could it be that Su Mengzhen had any tricks?
But after all, they couldn't stop, and they didn't have time to think carefully, let alone communicate with each other candidly. Now Lin'an Mansion has already reached the time when everything is in danger and the wind is trembling. It's time for Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower and Liufenbantang to arrive.
It's time for a decisive battle.
The forces in Jiangling Mansion remain neutral, so let them be.
Anyway, it didn't fall into the opponent's hands.
It was at such a fierce moment that Li Wangchen entered Lin'an Mansion.
Many people have received news of his arrival, such as Su Mengzhen and Lei Xiang.
Many people know better, such as Cai Jing and Cai Taishi.
Different from the impression of the world, Cai Jing is not actually a cunning person at first glance. On the contrary, he has an outstanding posture, a majestic appearance, a sparkling and flexible look in his eyes, and occasionally a bit of playfulness and humor.
He is not like a traitorous minister who can shock the world, but a person who is struggling in the officialdom, enjoying himself and being happy and free.
Ouyang Xiu's The Drunkard's Pavilion seems to have been written for him.
In addition, he has a bit of Tao Yuanming's temperament.
And he actually had a bit of Su Shi's bold and free spirit.
This is of course Cai Jing's disguise.
This is just like today's stupid officials are actually smarter than the world thinks, and the upright Zhuge Shenhou is more cunning than the world thinks. People are actually good at pretending, and disguise is the best protection in the world.
own method.
Cai Jing can not only appear a little more worldly, but also a little stupid, a little silly, a little naive, and even a little vicious on purpose.
Only when people have the confidence to grasp his nature can he hide his original intentions and truly swim in official circles, relationships, and this world.
But this nature is just revealed on purpose.
However, there are actually not many people in this world who are qualified to make him do this or that.
This of course includes today's officials.
In the eyes of others, Cai Jing, who has outstanding manners, appears to be very humble and submissive once he comes to the emperor. Occasionally, he will make small gestures to show his uprightness, which makes Zhao Ji often laugh at him: "Cai Qing is so upright, no wonder he is often criticized by small groups."
False accusation."
For example, Cai Jing was also good at calligraphy and had outstanding attainments in flower and bird painting. However, he often devalued himself in front of Zhao Ji. Because he knew the emperor's competitive mood, he was not just a flatterer.
I believed in all his excellent performances in singing and acting, and became even more considerate and doting towards him.
Once, Cai Jing was drunk and wrote: "Chaotian Tie", and even boasted that it was: "Even if it is not the best post in the world, it is still unmatched by anyone in the world."
When he was in high spirits and brought the invitation to the palace to present to Zhao Ji Yazheng, he suddenly saw the word "Heavenly Dynasty" written in the royal study. He stood there dumbfounded and remained silent for more than three hours.
After he was forced to drink ginger soup, he murmured to himself: "The wonderful book is a wonderful book, it is a law written by heaven and earth, and it is beyond the reach of my generation." He repeated this sentence for more than an hour, as if he was half-mad.
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but smile, and they were more impressed by Cai Jing.
Such methods are rarely seen by ordinary people.
Most of the time, he is just like this outstanding person, with a majestic and kind attitude, which is completely enough.
Cai Jing smiled and learned from a man in white everything that happened in Jiangling Mansion, which of course included Su Mengzhen and Lei Shan's respective methods, as well as the origins of Song Xu, Wang Xiaoshi, Guo Dalu, and Rou Wen.
It even includes the whole story.
This man in white is of course Bai Chou Fei.
He barely escaped from Wang Xiaoshi's hands, knowing that his years of hard work had been completely shattered. Song Xu, Wang Xiaoshi and his group had the evidence that they had massacred the Changkong Gang. Once it was publicized, there would be no place for them in the world.
So he was depressed for a while.
He began to drink heavily, have nightmares, go to a brothel, and face his life with the most corrupt attitude.
But Bai Chou Fei is still Bai Chou Fei in the end.
He spent a few days in such a state of confusion and drunkenness that he suddenly regained his composure one day, slapped himself two or three times, went out to the wild and shouted at the sky, cried and started killing people - this
One kill means killing a loyal person.
In this world, it is much easier to kill a loyal minister than a traitor.
Bai Choufei used this head to come to the capital and got the opportunity to meet Cai Jing.
Cai Jing listened to everything quietly, but did not continue to ask more questions. Instead, he looked at the young man in front of him with a surprised attitude, as if a long-awaited treasure suddenly fell in front of him, "Actually, I heard about it a long time ago.
You, your military skills, martial arts, literary talent, and skills are all excellent, and you could have shined a long time ago. It's a pity, why didn't you submit to me early on?"
He seemed to care more about this person than those things.
Bai Choufei showed a flattered expression, cupped his hands and said, "I am nearly thirty years old and have no achievements. I dare not come and embarrass myself in front of the Grand Master."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "I know you look down on me."
Bai Chou said hurriedly, "I don't dare."
Cai Jing said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. The current world is not good, as you know. The major forces are divided. The power gang and the beggar gang support themselves in the north and dominate one side. The Yangtze River is the territory of the Twelve Links of Waterways. In the middle of Shu
With the Tang Sect, half of Jiangnan fell into the hands of the Murong family, and our court had to live in a corner, with only the name of the Song Dynasty, but no actual ability to control the Song Dynasty."
Bai Choufei sighed, "The storm is swaying and the world is in chaos. This is the time when the country is in crisis."
Cai Jing said worriedly and angrily, "The national crisis also has its origin."
Baichou Fei said, "Of course."
Cai Jing said, "The source is one person. People in the world are stupid and think it is me, but in fact there is someone else."
Baichou Fei asked, "Who is it?"
Cai Jing said, "This man deceives the superiors and deceives the subordinates, covers the sky with one hand, unites the party and opposes dissidents, and suppresses good people. His martial arts skills are high enough to coerce the emperor to order the princes; his eloquence is good enough to make people stab him at all costs; he
He is dangerous but good at disguise. He is ugly but has a kind face. Everyone thinks he is loyal and righteous, but in fact he has always confused right and wrong. He lives with Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars Gang, Li Chenzhou, the leader of the Power Gang, and Murong Shiqing, who lives in the Murong family.
We have friendship, it is he who has contributed to the prestige of these Jianghu people to separatist forces, leaving the officials helpless. He also suppressed talents like you and promoted his own cadres. As long as he is around, our Song Dynasty will naturally be the leader of the government.
The day is changing and there will never be peace."
Bai Choufei suddenly said, "I know who he is!"
Cai Jing said, "Of course you must know."
Baichou Fei said, "He is Zhuge Zhengwo."
Cai Jing corrected him, "Yes, he is Zhuge Xiaohua who everyone wants to kill!"
Baichou Fei said, "What the grand master said is that I have already had this intention. Zhuge Xiaohua pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and harmed the country and harmed the government. In the past, Wang Anshi's reform could not be implemented because he was vigorously obstructing it; and he was so happy with his achievements that he started wars and caused resentment.
Jin Liao, which caused the people to live in dire straits and suffer internal and external troubles; in addition, the four famous arresters were his minions. The four of them joined forces to control the power, weaved a huge web, framed loyal people, and suppressed talented people. This was obvious to all, and they were arrogant. How could it continue like this?
?”
Cai Jing finally couldn't help but laugh. When he laughed, he had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, rippling layer by layer, but he turned out to be very good-looking. "Zhuge is a thief, and I am a minister. Zhuge is a traitor, and I am a loyal person."
."
Baichou Fei said, "Unless Zhuge dies, the country will never have peace."
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Bai Chou Fei, it's very difficult for you to realize this. There are very few smart people like you in this world. It's a pity that even people like you didn't understand this until now."
Bai Choufei knelt down quickly, "This villain is short-sighted and has evil thoughts, and was misunderstood by the old thief Zhuge."
Cai Jingdao, "I'm afraid you still had some thoughts of joining the so-called 'righteous way' in your heart before, so you were always waiting for a price and were unwilling to come to my command. If Song Xu hadn't exposed your past,
Sooner or later, everyone will shout and beat you in Zhuge, and I'm afraid you won't 'wake up'."
Bai Chou Fei said, "I love and hate him, I'm grateful and I hate him, but in the end I'm mostly grateful. Because if it weren't for him, I would never have the chance to understand the Grand Master, let alone what path this world should take.
."
If this were the Bai Chou Fei of the past, he would definitely find it disgusting.
But now he said it without caring, it just happened naturally.
Cai Jing also nodded, "Your previous life was wasted." He flicked his fingers and thought for a moment, "Since the No. 7 in the world is dead, you must be determined to avenge him. I will give you his place.
It's 'Kyoto Fengtian Zuohu Ming Shaobao'."
Bai Choufei felt his heart heat up and kowtowed three times, "I am willing to die for the Grand Master!"
Cai Jing said, "Okay, but I'm actually making an unusual choice for you. You are known as the seventh most vicious person in the world. Only when you are invincible can you be convinced. I can only ask others to tell you orally. As for whether I care about anything in my heart.
, I can’t control much, so you must be careful.”
Baichou Fei said, "I vow to make great contributions to the Grand Master."
Cai Jing seemed to be a little tired. He seemed to have been listening to such words from beginning to end of the day. He had heard too many words, and he showed a smile filled with expectation and confusion.
After waving his hand, Bai Choufei left the place sensibly.
The house was suddenly empty. Cai Jing sat on a chair and thought for a while. After a while, he suddenly wrote five letters in handwriting, and then summoned his subordinates.
The subordinate he summoned was no ordinary person, but Lu Shuyi, one of the Liuhe Qinglongs.
——Liuhe Qinglong is the six innate masters under Yuan Shisan's sect, who are equivalent to the four famous catchers.
It is said that the six people who come together to form "the green dragon of Liuhe, the white tiger of heaven and earth, created out of nothing, the head shouting and the tail responding, the magic array" will have the power to restrain Zhuge Shenhou. This is also the master of the old four famous catchers Wei Qingqingqing
The grand formation that he personally formulated was to prevent Zhuge Zhengwo, the most outstanding of his disciples, from going into evil ways, so he left behind a formation specifically designed to restrain him.
This formation fell into the hands of Yuan Shisanqian, and these six innate masters were cultivated.
Except for Gu Tiesan, who is at the second level of the minor three combined, the other five are all at the first level of the minor three.
Cai Jing warned, "Give these six letters to Captain Gao, Prime Minister Qin, Lord Di, Lord Fang, Lord Su, and Lord Lei respectively."
Lu Shu responded and was about to leave when Cai Jing stopped him again, "By the way, inform the marshal of the death of No. 7 in the world, and please don't tell the marshal that the murderer was Wang Xiaoshi, a disciple of the 'Tianyi Jushi'.
"
The marshal he talks about is Yuan Shisanqian.
In the thirteenth period of the Yuan Dynasty, he was a general under Cai Jing, so he was called this. Among the capital masters, apart from Guan Qi, he was one person whose martial arts might be able to compete with Zhuge Zhengwo. However, he had been unsuccessful for many years, so he was
Cai Jing used it, but he did not have any official position or title. Cai Jing told him that he had written to the emperor many times, but was blocked by Zhuge Zhengwo.
This is actually the reason why Cai Jing secretly prevented him from becoming more powerful and forming his own faction, while at the same time stimulating conflicts between his fellow disciples.
When Cai Jing said this, he sighed again, "The marshal was harmed by the Tianyi layman and Zhuge Zhengwo together, so that we have what we are today. Xu Xiao clearly promised him that he would no longer care about the affairs of the world, but now he made himself
His disciple, killing his disciple is really too much to deceive. I think Xu Xiao will return to the world in a few days, and then the lazy master Ye Aichan will also take action. They are afraid that they are brewing a plot against the marshal.
It's a major conspiracy. Even if the Marshal is extremely skilled in martial arts, he can't fight one against three. What's more, these are his senior brothers and they are powerful. Marshal, please be patient and don't fall into the trap."
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, with an unconvinced look on his face, and said, "What the Grand Master said will be remembered by my subordinates."
As soon as Cai Jing looked at him, he knew that he would not remember him.
Because he is a martial arts student, and martial arts students always have some pride and self-respect.
And this is what Cai Jing wants. What he wants is for Lu Shu to report the matter to Yuan Thirteenth Limit. Someone related to Wang Xiaoshi killed the seventh person in the world. This is equivalent to Tianyi Layman Xu Xiao's report to Yuan Thirteenth Limit.
War letter.
He wants to force Yuan Shisanhan to fight Zhuge Zhengwo and his gang.
In fact, it doesn't matter who wins or loses in the decisive battle. Anyway, no matter who loses or wins, the person left in the end will definitely be severely injured, and that's enough.
After Lu Shuyi left, Cai Jing stood up leisurely, put his hands on his back and looked at everything outside the window, as if he could also see everything in the future, when Song Xu entered the capital, when Bai Choufei was used by him, when the thirteenth anniversary of the Yuan Dynasty
Angry, when Jinfeng Xiaoyulou and Liufenbantang were on fire.
He whispered in a voice that no one could hear, "The sky is as blue as water, and the flying dragons are in the sky."
The sky is as blue as water, and flying dragons are flying in the sky.
