Chapter 603 A traitor, it is also a matter of style
After listening to Cai Jing's question, Xiao Tang was suddenly startled. He secretly said in his heart: "Is this Cai Jing really well-informed? He was able to find out that I secretly worked with the brothers and frightened Gao Yanei to death? But then?"
At that time, he was criticized by the ministers in the court, and Zhao Ji deliberately attacked Cai Jing and sent him to live in Hangzhou. Not long ago, I was transferred to Bianjing. Although I was trusted by Zhao Ji, my actual position was only that of a fifth-rank official.
How could I alert Cai Jing to investigate what I had done secretly?
If Cai Jing really knew how I planned to get rid of Gao Yanei, then he might not be able to find out some clues about how I secretly communicated with the green forest villages in various places... The more Xiao Tang thought about it, the more shocked he became.
He had been fighting for a long time in the officialdom, and he often had to plan and plan when he was in charge of the rebels and horses under his command in the green forest. Now Xiao Tang was very good at cultivating qi. Although he was shocked in his heart, in Cai Jing's view, his face only slightly changed.
Even though he was changing, he didn't panic.
The public disagreement between me and Gao Qiu is well known in the Bianjing court. As for why Gao Qiu, the old thief, regards me as his mortal enemy, everyone else is also aware of the reason. Cai Jing intends to regain his position, and in order to do favors
To open up a relationship, it is natural to have to go around with Gao Qiu and other Zhao Ji's favorites. But it seems that the relationship between Cai Jing and Gao Qiu will really become monolithic, and will it be detrimental to me?
Almost impossible.
Xiao Tang's thoughts were spinning rapidly. In an instant, he suddenly thought of the records in the history of the Song Dynasty about Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and other powerful traitors that were worth thinking about. The relationship between Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and Yang Jian and other traitors
The relationship is not a partnership like in "Water Margin". It is said that they must work together to figure out how to get rid of the Liangshan grass bandits, and secretly plot how to poison Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and other leaders... Historical Records
Whenever Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other high-ranking officials in the court are mentioned, a long list of other traitors or courtiers are always mentioned, and how they are in cahoots with each other or turn against each other.
However, most of the records about Gao Qiu are more like he was playing a single game, either talking about him amassing money for personal gain and engaging in nepotism, trying his best to make the Gao family's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, or mentioning that he relied on favors for personal gain and excluded dissidents.
Not only did the front office of the palace become a mess, but the Bianjing Forbidden Army gradually became a force without combat effectiveness.
The records of interactions between Gao Qiu and other ministers are nothing more than how unfavorable Zeng Bu, an important minister of the late emperor, was towards him before he became famous, and Gao Qiu openly quarreled with Tong Guan when the Jin army invaded the south.
Tong Guan was so angry that he wanted to send Gao Qiu to die quickly.
Xiao Tang tried to figure out Cai Jing's thoughts. He expected that the traitors of that generation must also despise Gao Qiu as a person. After all, Gao Qiu was a greedy and traitorous person. However, the more greedy he was for his own use, the more "style" he would become as a traitor.
Gao. No matter how arrogant and extravagant the descendants of Cai Jing and other treacherous descendants are, I have never heard of any of them like Gao Yanei, who led a few dog slaves and spent all day long in the busy city of the capital to seize beautiful women.
But my father allowed his bastard adopted son to act hooligan in broad daylight...
Treacherous ministers also need face, and no one seems to be vying to ruin their reputation like Gao Qiu. In addition, Gao Qiu used simple and crude methods to suppress and persecute the imperial officers and generals in the palace commander's palace. Cai Jing
After all, he has vigorously promoted social assistance systems such as nursing homes, Anjifang and Luzeyuan. He is also a person whose essays and calligraphy are second to none. How could he say that he was born in the market and only knows how to hug Zhao Ji?
Did Gao Qiu see it?
After Xiao Tang thought about it in his mind, he had already thought of a countermeasure and said to Cai Jing: "I really don't want to get into trouble with Gao Taiwei, but Gao Taiwei allowed his son Gao Yanei to do all the bad things in Bianjing. The grand master must have heard about it. The younger generation just saw that Gao Yanei was too domineering, but instead taught the people of Bianjing to complain that the government government could not enforce the law impartially, and regarded other officials' children as dandies. Wouldn't this bring shame to the Song Dynasty court? ?
The younger generation saw that Gao Yanei was taking advantage of Taiwei Gao's power to openly rob the daughter of the people. He was not too careful about it, so he punished the man. However, he did not want to make the enmity between Gao Taiwei and Gao Yanei deeper and deeper. As for Gao Yanei's He died in a strange way... I didn't hide it from the Grand Master, and I am very happy that without that guy, I can't punish the people of Bianjing. But after all, I am an official in the court, and I also know the law of the court, and I am very happy. How could you secretly harm the son of an important official in the court? I hope the Grand Master will be aware of it!"
Cai Jing nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but his pair of narrow eyes still looked back and forth on Xiao Tang. It seemed that Cai Jing was used to the intrigues and deceitful people in the world, and he was determined not to believe in such ghosts and gods as threatening their lives, so he spoke The purpose of testing Xiao Tang was to see if this rising star in the court, who was known as "Ren Xia" in the world, was really a common man who would lynch and kill the children of officials just for the sake of a moment's whim. He is a reckless man, so Cai Jing will never put any more thought into him.
After all, according to the rules of the power game between North Korea and China, there is no such way.
Cai Jing secretly thought in his mind: Gao Qiu's adopted son Gao Yanei's sensual and roguish ways of destroying the innocence of ordinary women were indeed a bit too much. Perhaps he really provoked some reckless people, and secretly used a trick to teach him to die of fright. Maybe... this Xiao Tang has been involved in life-threatening lawsuits, and it is extremely rare for him to have such a status in the court at his age. After all, he is not willing to destroy his future because of temporary pleasure. If he was really such a reckless and reckless person, how could he win the favor of the officials?
Thinking of this, Cai Jing stood up slowly and smiled at Xiao Tang: "My nephew is thinking about the reputation of the court, and I can understand that I can understand the painstaking efforts. But after all, you and Captain Gao were officials in the same dynasty, and you are still the commander-in-chief." If the officials and generals who are posted in the government are not in harmony with each other, wouldn't it delay the future of my nephew?"
Xiao Tang gave a wry smile and said: "Captain Gao is in charge of the two divisions and three yamen in front of the palace. How can the juniors compete with him? The juniors are grateful for the emperor's kindness and are willing to serve the country with loyalty. Even if they can't win a name in history, they still can't. I wish to protect the peace of the Song Dynasty. This junior came to pay homage to the Grand Master, firstly to celebrate the Grand Master's return to the capital, and secondly, to discuss important matters with the Grand Master...
Although the younger generation does not want to argue with Captain Gao anymore and wants to settle the matter, it is just that I have served as a court official in vain. I have lived in the court of Bianjing for a long time but cannot fight for the country and cannot make any progress. Now I, the Song Dynasty, have an intention to make some progress. The Xia people are in the land of Hengshan and the northwest court of Jingping. The younger generation is also determined to make contributions to the distant frontiers to fulfill my long-cherished wish to stabilize the country. Therefore, the younger generation has military affairs and negotiates with the grand master, and hopes that the grand master will pay homage to him. "
Hearing Xiao Tang say that he had military affairs to discuss with him, Cai Jing was somewhat uninterested. He and Liang Shijie's ideas were more in line with each other. He thought that Xiao Tang was favored by the officials and could be regarded as a minister from his own family. In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, he valued civility over military affairs. Under the premise that Xiao Tang only held a military position and was bound to rely on civil servants who had great political ability in the court, Cai Jing could not think of any evil intentions by Xiao Tang.
But in this case, you, Xiaotang, stay in the Bianjing court to please the officials, and just follow my instructions. You will definitely be indispensable for your fame and wealth in the future. Why do you have to go to the frontier and rely on military exploits like ordinary Wu Mangfu? Accumulating merit? Ouyang Wenzhonggong, a layman in the Sixth Day of the year, once said: Since the rise of Fu Jianbing, the border generals we have obtained are Di Qing and Zhong Shiheng in terms of loyalty and bravery. However, that kind of world balance still requires Fan Wenzhenggong. Only through hard promotion did he lay the foundation for three generations of the Zhong family to serve in the Western Army? Di Wuxiang made great achievements in twenty-five battles in his life, but didn't he end up being jealous and depressed later on?
Now it seems that if you look at the rogue Yuanshe high school sophomore, you will know that if I, Cai Jing, want to use you Xiao Tang, why don't I send you to Bianting to compete for military exploits?
But before Cai Jing could say anything, he heard Xiao Tang say again: "Master Haojiao knows that this junior thought that if we, the Song Dynasty, make more plans while the Xia people are using troops, it will help the grand master regain his position as prime minister... ...Only more.”
