The prince was the crown prince and had a strong position in the hearts of officials, and soon received response from many people. The students of the Taishu also began to build momentum for Jiang Zhong, and the entire streets and alleys of the capital were discussing this matter. While boasting that Jiang Zhong had taken down Yanshan Mansion, he belittled Tong Guan's defeat.

Beijing newspapers are flying all over the sky. It either talks about Jiang Zhong's invincibility or Tong Guan's incompetence, as if there is nothing else to report in the entire capital.

At this moment, a mysterious guest came to Cai Jing's mansion. The two talked in the secret room for a long time. No one knew who was coming, and no one knew what to talk about.

The Gao family, Cao family, Pan family, Wang family and other meritorious families have also begun to build momentum. Their power is obviously much stronger. After all, it involves the army, and these talents have the most say.

The civil servant group gradually accepted Jiang Zhong and began to support public opinion. Wang Fu, who had always had close ties with Tong Guan, chose to remain silent for the first time, and Liang Shicheng also remained silent, as if he supported Jiang Zhong as the prince. Under this public opinion situation, Song Huizong Zhao Ji summoned Cai Jing into the palace.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji turned the memorial and said, "The hundreds of memorials are almost the same. It is rare that the Tong Shumi Envoy is so unbearable. It is rare that the Song Dynasty had no one to command the three armies except Jiang Zhong. It is rare that he is even more powerful than Di Qing of the previous dynasty."

It is obvious that the government is extremely opposed to Jiang Zhong's appointment as the prince, and is extremely taboo to this guy. In this case, Cai Jing did not dare to contact the bad guy directly. He coughed a few times and said, "Your Majesty, it's understandable whoever takes over as the prince. The key is that Yanshan Prefecture has taken it back. If no one becomes the prince, then what is the face of the court and the power of heaven."

"Then what you mean is to let Jiang Zhong be the prince?" Song Huizong Zhao Ji's voice was a little cold. He was very unhappy, but he could not say that Tong Guan, who was appointed as the defeated general, was the prince. In that case, the ministers of the Zhengshitang would not agree.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Zhong has never thought of becoming a prince. This guy has an idea that he cannot express to the outside world, and he also hopes that the officials can be graceful."

"What? Jiang Zhong doesn't want to be the prince, so what kind of grace does he want me to give?"

Cai Jing heard the tone of the official family relaxed, so he said softly: "It was mentioned by King Yun a few years ago."

"What exactly is it?" As time goes by, Song Huizong Zhao Ji has long forgotten everything. How can I remember the incident of Emperor Jiade?

"Jiang Zhong wants His Majesty to give him a marriage and betroth his Princess Jiade."

"No." Song Huizong Zhao Ji refused directly. He said angrily: "Jiang Zhong is a rough man, so lustful, and there are so many women around him. How can he deserve the Emperor's Virgin? It's absolutely not possible."

Cai Jing knew that this was difficult, but he would never regret it if he had promised Jiang Zhong. The guy lowered his voice and said, "It is very dangerous for a general to have no shortcomings. He is greedy for money, lust, and power. If he doesn't have any, he must have ambition. Jiang Zhong can give up the Shenwei Army, which means he is not greedy for power. He has long been rich enough to compete with the country, and he is not greedy for money. If he is not lustful, it will be dangerous."

"You go down first." Song Huizong Zhao Ji knew what Cai Jing wanted to say, and admitted that the old teacher was right, but marrying his daughter to a lustful and rough man like Jiang Zhong would indeed damage the royal face.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji really had no idea, so he summoned Lin Lingsu to see what the old god meant.

In the end, Song Huizong agreed to marry Emperor Jiade to Jiang Zhong, and appointed this guy as the second-rank general of the auxiliary state, Guanglu Dafu, and Duke of Jin. As for the prince, he did not mention anything, so he asked him to step up his work in Beijing to report on his work.

After receiving the imperial edict, Jiang Zhong knew that Song Huizong Zhao Ji wanted to remove his military power, but he didn't care, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhong Shidao and chose to return to Beijing to report his duties.

At the same time, Tong Guan served as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei Road and Hedong Road, and went to Yanshan Prefecture to accept it. At the same time, Zong Shidao was awarded the title of Duke Rongguo and the Pacifier of Xihe Road, and was evacuated from Yanshan Prefecture.

Zhe Keqiu, the commander of the Zhe family army, led an army of 100,000 to attack Yunzhou. At this point, Zhong Shidao and Jiang Zhong were both far away from the battlefield. Jiang Zhong was far away from the battlefield and said that he wanted to marry the emperor, while Zhong Shidao had suffered heavy casualties in the Western Army and needed rest. Of course, this was directly related to the evil people Tong Guan complained first.

Jiang Zhong did not rush back to the capital, but traveled all the way, and was not in a hurry at all. He knew that he and Mr. Zhong left Yanshan Mansion together, and relying solely on Tong Guan could not resist the Iron Cavalry of the Jin Kingdom. The tragedy of history was destined to happen again. It seems that Song Huizong Zhao Ji still hoped that Tong Guan would be the prince in his heart. After all, this old thief was the most trusted person in the official family.

Once he entered Beijing, he would definitely be monitored. Jiang Zhong had long guessed that Song Huizong Zhao Ji had made the idea. He had not yet thought of a countermeasure for a while, so he was slow.

More than ten days later, Jiang Zhong finally arrived at the capital. As soon as he entered the city gate, he knew that something was wrong. The streets were crowded with people, and came to welcome the hero who recovered Yanshan Mansion to return triumphantly. On the surface, it looked infinite scenery, but in fact it was the most vicious praise. It seemed that Tong Guan still didn't give up.

Jiang Zhong did not rode his horse forward, but dismounted and walked, which was terrifyingly low-key and did not say a word along the way, as if the people were not welcomed by themselves. As soon as they got home, Jiang Zhong ordered that the door of the house be closed and no guests were accepted.

Zhao Shuke saw Jiang Zhong's melancholy and poured tea and said, "Husband, you have returned from triumphantly, promoted your title, and married the princess. You should feel infinite glory, why are you still at a loss?"

Jiang Zhong held Zhao Shuke to his thighs, hugged the elegant and luxurious beauty tightly, and said in the beauty's ear: "The old thief Tong Guan must be the evil one to complain first, and the official is very afraid of me. Behind the winning of the emperor and the promotion of the title, I was placed under house arrest in the capital, and I could never go out again, and it was even more impossible to command troops."

"Isn't the essay officer better? I have always been a civil servant. Although you don't have any real power among civil servants, you have enough rank. The next step is to open the three departments of the Mansion and the Political Affairs Hall, and you can't escape the position of the minister." Zhao Shuke was of noble origin, and in her eyes, the military officer could not be on the table.

Jiang Zhong knew that it was impossible to explain to Zhao Shuke. At this time, he regretted sending all his women out, but it was also easy to be peaceful when he married the emperor.

Late that night, Cai Jing visited late at night.

In the inner room, Jiang Zhong personally poured tea for Cai Jing. He smiled and said, "It was supposed to be the official who went to visit the old master, but he didn't expect the old master to visit the humble house in person."

Cai Jing slowly savored the tea and said with a smile: "If I don't come, you won't be able to sleep tonight. We are all old acquaintances, so don't go around in circles. Do you think returning to the capital is equivalent to being under house arrest?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's more than just house arrest, it's probably worse." Cai Jing's old face looked extremely heavy. He gently put down his wine glass and said meaningfully: "There are few people like you in the world. The official family is going to betroth the Emperor Jiade to General Zeng Wei, the Left Guard. As a result, you are going to be betrothed to Wang Junjiu, the son of the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Palace. As a result, you let others be eunuch. Good guy, you treat the Emperor as your forbidden body. How can the official family not be angry? Besides, you are still snatching food from the official family and snatching Li Shishi from the official family. Everything you do is a ruthless deed. How can the official family tolerate you?"

Jiang Zhong shook his head, obviously not taking these seriously. He thought that as long as I sleep in the dragon bed, I would not be discovered if I sleep in the official family's woman Gao Meiniang. As for the matter of treating the emperor as a forbidden body, what's the big deal?

Seeing that Jiang Zhong was not intimidating, Cai Jing knew that the words were not heavy enough, so he said harshly: "Since ancient times, ministers who were afraid of the emperors have not ended up well. You are very powerful, but you are not as good as Di Qing, the god of war in the previous dynasty. You should know that guy is invincible, but he still died of depression in the end. How can you get better again?"

"It's different. At that time, the minister of the Zhengshi Hall collectively excluded Di Qing. I'm different. I have the ally of the old master, so I won't have any trouble." Jiang Zhong seemed very confident. He said slowly: "The news that Zhe Keqiu defeated Yunzhou will come soon. Without me, no one in the Song Dynasty could win a battle. Yanshan Prefecture will be seized by the Jin Kingdom soon. Tong Guan's old dog would let the official family redeem Yanshan Prefecture at a sky-high price. Regardless of whether the official family would add Tong Guan to the prince, it would become a huge scandal. Because the one who redeemed the sky-high price was only the empty city that was looted by the Jin army, and it would be taken away by the Jin army soon. At that time, you see if the official family would ask me for me. The current god of war in the Song Dynasty was me, and I would not admit defeat."

Cai Jing was half-believing and half-doubted about what Jiang Zhong said, and could not accept it for a while. Tong Guan commanded the Western Army for many years, how could it be so unbearable? He said angrily: "You conquered Yanshan Mansion, but is the wealth of the Liao royal family? Why did you let Xiao Puxian go?"

"Nonsense, wealth was taken away by Xiao Puxian. She still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Can I stop it?" Jiang Zhong said this, with a shameless smile on his face. He embezzled such a huge amount of wealth. He was so damn that the government was not angry.

When the old fox met the little fox, Cai Jing couldn't get Jiang Zhong's words for a moment, so he said to the change of topic: "Tell me, what are your plans for the next step? What is your betrothal gift for marrying the emperor? Let me deal with this matter."

"Tsk, in the Song Dynasty, there was no way to marry the emperor and give a betrothal gift. Why not talk about what the dowry is?" Jiang Zhong understood. Is the so-called official's old debt false? Is it true to worry about the wealth of Yanshan Mansion? It seems that it is impossible not to bleed today. The guy said after a long time of silence: "Gold is 100,000 taels, I don't know if it can be done?"

One hundred thousand taels of gold was a sky-high price. Cai Jing was not satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's better to have 500 thousand taels of gold. If it's too little, you can't make any moves, right?"

"Okay, how is the official going to place me? Should I live my life in the capital now, or go to the place below?"
