…

Cai still analyzed the situation for Zhao Ji, without a lie, saying that it was imperative to recover Yan Yun, nor did he deceive Zhao Ji.

In fact, Cai still really thinks so.

If, under the current situation, if the Song Dynasty did not recover Yan Yun, Yan Yun would be very likely to be occupied by the predecessor of the Jin Kingdom, Xixia or Mongolia, Dadan tribes.

The people of Liao, or Khitan, were influenced by Han culture for one or two hundred years, and had been highly sinicized. They were considered to have separated from the ranks of barbarians and belonged to civilized people.

Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty could use annual monies to deal with the Liao people and make peace between the two countries.

This is not the case with the Jurchens and the Dadans. They are just a group of uncivilized savages, greedy, fierce, and full of robber logic.

Although the people of Xixia were better, the people of Xixia were also powerful. Once they were short of money and food, they would rob the rich Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, if Yan Yun was occupied by the Jurchens, Dadan and Xixia, even if the Jingkang shame did not occur, there would be endless troubles.

The best solution is of course to recover Yanyun, and then use Yanyun's Great Wall as a natural barrier to block the Hulu outside the Great Wall, and then slowly plan it.

If this could be true, if the Song Dynasty could produce an outstanding emperor and work hard to govern it in a few decades, the Song Dynasty might have reached the same height as the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It’s a pity that Zhao Ji has done so well over the years, he has been extravagant, extravagant and desperate, and has been in a military state!

So much so that even if there is such a good opportunity, it will not be able to grasp it, and it will backfire and lead to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Some people may ask, is there really no chance in the Northern Song Dynasty?

have.

As long as Zhao Ji was not happy with the achievements, gave up his dream of regaining Yan Yun, united with the remnants of Liao, and jointly resisted the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, in that case, it would be not sure who would die in the end.

However--

First of all, Cai still did not think that he had a greater influence than Cai Jing, Deng Xunwu, Zheng Juzhong and others, and could convince Zhao Ji, who was very happy with merit and had no self-knowledge at all.

Secondly, once Cai Shenzhen chooses to stop Zhao Ji from regaining Yan Yun, he may end up in a bleak end and may even leave the political stage of the Northern Song Dynasty, just like Cai Jing.

Third, Cai still didn't want a foolish monarch like Zhao Ji and his son to enjoy the world, and he was even more unwilling to work hard for a foolish monarch like Zhao Ji and his son.

In short, Cai still chose to follow Zhao Ji's wishes instead of fighting against Zhao Ji without any wits.

The familiarity with Yan Yun and Liao and Jin dynasties that Cai still showed was exactly what Zhao Ji lacked the most at present.

Moreover, Cai still analyzed from the situation for Zhao Ji that Yan Yun was not able to be regained, but had to be regained, which could block the mouths of the ministers who opposed the regaining of Yan Yun.

Besides, Cai is still very literary, and this is exactly the person Zhao Ji likes.

In addition, Cai still picks up what Zhao Ji likes to hear everywhere, and can always come up with some novel ideas to please Zhao Ji.

To sum up, Cai Shen quickly got close to Zhao Ji's confidants, and Zhao Ji even asked Cai Shen to participate in the discussion on regaining Yan Yun.

It must be said that Zhao Ji was quite generous to the ministers he liked.

After Cai was deeply loved by Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji rewarded Cai Shen with a lot of things.

There are two of them that are the most desirable to Cai:

It's also a BMW.

This horse is called "Claw Huang Feidian". This horse is tall and mighty, solemn and majestic. It was once Cao Cao's mount in history.

Because this horse has a noble temperament, Cao Cao would ride it every time he returned to the court in triumph to show his unique momentum.

This "Claw Huang Feidian" was originally Zhao Ji's mount.

But like many BMWs, Claw Huang Feidian is also a fierce horse, so fierce that Zhao Ji can't ride it at all.

In addition, Zhao Ji is not very willing to ride a horse.

So Zhao Ji kept claw Huang Feidian and many famous horses in his stable.

One day, Cai still went to play polo with Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji knew that Cai Guan was very skilled in martial arts, so he asked Cai Guan to come out and fight.

At that time, there were no war horses around Cai, so Zhao Ji asked Cai to go to his stable to pick one of them.

As a result, Cai still picked the most majestic claw Huang Feidian.

Seeing that Cai Jian picked Huang Feidian at the center of the claw, Zhao Ji didn't say anything, just laughed without saying anything, as if he was waiting to see Cai Jian's joke.

really!

Claw Huang Feidian didn't let Cai still ride at first.

But Cai is still not Zhao Ji. Seeing that Huang Feidian didn't let him ride, Cai Jian directly slapped Zhu Huang Feidian, making Zhu Huang Feidian scream and jump around to break free from Cai Jian's hand.

However, how could you struggle with Huang Feidian with your claws? Cai still remained motionless.

Jaw Huang Fei led his head to bite Cai Jian, and Cai Jian slapped Jaw Huang Fei Jian again with his backhand.

Zhu Huang Feidian is worthy of being a BMW. He was slapped by Cai Jian, who was extremely powerful. He was still as slapped as nothing, and his fierceness did not change. He jumped up and wanted to step on Cai Jian to death in one go.

Seeing this, Cai still pulled down the reins and pulled down the claw Huang Feidian.

Next, one man and one horse started fighting.

It must be said that the claw Huang Feidian is indeed unruly and difficult to control, and his physical strength and endurance are amazing.

But Cai still had great strength and his endurance was as endless as the sea, making the claw Huang Feidian unable to break free. Even if it broke the reins, Cai still grabbed its mane and grabbed it back.

Moreover, Cai was still ruthless and as long as Jaw Huang Fei dared to struggle, he would fight.

When Jaw Huang Feidian could no longer move, she could not stand Cai Jian's slap. Cai Jian turned over and rode on Jaw Huang Feidian's back.

Zhao Ji and others who witnessed this scene with their own eyes were shocked by Cai Jian's strength and domineeringness, and finally understood that Cai Jian's fame was not blown out, but was actually beaten out.

Later, Cai still rode the claw Huang Feidian and played polo with people. The claw Huang Feidian was extremely fast, had amazing explosive power, and had surprising endurance. He was also fierce and irritable. As long as a horse dared to approach it, it bit it opens its mouth and kicks it up. Cai still had great martial arts skills and good riding skills. As a result, one person and one horse crossed the horse field, and no one dared to approach them. Later, Cai still was sent off for repeated fouls.

But even so, Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation to give Cai Shen a wire reward.

The second is a house located on the north bank of the Bian River in Xicheng City with a beautiful environment - this was given by Zhao Ji to Cai Shencheng for his biological use, and it is still under construction.

In other words, Cai still has a home in Tokyo Bianliang City, and in the near future he will no longer have to live in Cai Jing's house.

In addition to BMW and Chinese houses, Zhao Ji also rewarded Cai Lan with a lot of food, food, money, and treasures.

As everyone can see, Cai is still a rising political star.

If Cai Shen had not been too young and had too low official positions, many people would even think that it would not take long to become one of the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty and one of the powerful ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Let me put it this way, since Cai Shen went to the palace to meet Zhao Ji, Cai Shen's value suddenly doubled. Although he is not a powerful minister, he is no longer a small person.

but--

This also brought some things, such as Cai Shen suddenly became busy and had to run into the palace almost every day.

This also led to the agreement between Cai and Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao and his wife, and repeatedly pushed forward.

Finally, one day at the end of November, Cai still found a gap and came to visit Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao with a copy of "Quick Snow Shi Qing Tie".

Shortly after the disciple sent Cai Shen's famous letter to Zhao's mansion, Li Qingzhao came out.

Not seeing Zhao Mingcheng made Cai still surprised and asked bluntly: "Is Brother Defu not at home?"

While asking Cai Jian to enter the mansion, Li Qingzhao said, "He was the magistrate of Laizhou. Several of his close friends invited him to celebrate and went out early in the morning."

Cai still said regretfully: "I don't want this to happen." Then he explained: "A few days ago, Cai still broke the appointment sincerely, but His Majesty summoned him every day, so that Cai still couldn't get out of his body, so he could not come to visit the virtuous couple."

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "There has been spreading the news that I have become Your Majesty's new minister, so I can understand it."

Cai still said: "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Vision for understanding."

Cai still casually said, "By the way, why didn't the lay Buddhist accompany Brother Defu to the banquet?"

Unexpectedly, Cai Shen's unintentional words made the smile on Li Qingzhao's face fade away!

When he got married to Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao was also happy for a while.

At that time, the couple was really singing together.

But not long after, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng became "distant".

Li Qingzhao summarized it, the reason is nothing more than:

Shortly after the two got married, the fierce new and old party disputes within the Northern Song Dynasty court brought the Li family into it. Li Qingzhao's father Li Gefei was included in the Yuanyou Party (there were seventeen members of the Party at that time, and Li Gefei was named fifth), and he was ordered not to work in the capital.

Later, Li Qingzhao was also involved. Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng, the originally loving couple, not only faced the danger of being broken up, but also the huge Bianjing no longer had a foothold. In the end, Li Qingzhao had to leave Beijing alone and return to his hometown to join his family who were sent back first. Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng separated.

After Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng reunited, the Zhao family was involved in the party struggle again, and Zhao Mingcheng lost his official position.

At that time, Zhao Mingcheng was frustrated with cultural relics and antiques, often went out to search for cultural relics and antiques, traveled around the mountains and rivers, and sometimes he didn't go home for a year or two.

During that period, even though Zhao Mingcheng didn't go out, he would proofread ancient books with Li Qingzhao all day long, so that the tables and chairs at home were filled with books.

This led to the couple becoming colleagues in academic research.

Li Qingzhao's talent was too high. Gradually, Zhao Mingcheng not only respected Li Qingzhao's talent, but even began to respect Li Qingzhao.

As a result, Li Qingzhao not only became Zhao Mingcheng's "brother", but also Zhao Mingcheng's "teacher". Zhao Mingcheng had less and less inappropriate thoughts about Li Qingzhao. Since then, the two have actually become a pair of Platos with respect and disposition - it is also possible to describe it with the word "respect for each other as guests".

Zhao Mingcheng dared not touch Li Qingzhao, which does not mean that Zhao Mingcheng does not want women.

In recent years, Zhao Mingcheng has taken several concubines outside and has many lovers.
