535, Fan Town (4)

(I have been tossed by the sudden kidney stones for more than ten hours last night. I just returned home after being hospitalized for one day. I apologized for everyone for delaying the update. For this update, try to get out the second update before eleven o'clock.)

"Master, this is an imperial edict written according to your instructions. Please check it out." Liang Shicheng respectfully held up the imperial edict he had just written in his hands at Emperor Zhao Ji. He was appointed as the Supreme Court of the Procuratorate. All imperial edicts were issued by him. Sometimes Zhao Ji was a little lazy, so it was common for him to write imperial edicts on his behalf.

Zhao Ji's expression seemed very interesting, and he waved his hand indifferently, "Don't look, send it out."

Liang Shicheng responded respectfully, and hesitated for a moment when he saw Zhao Ji's appearance, and then said, "Master, you must take care of yourself. The Song Dynasty's country cannot be without you."

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, looked at the imperial edict that was still in Liang Shicheng's hand, and couldn't help but sigh leisurely, "I... feel ashamed of my ancestors, and I actually made the vassal states appear again..."

If someone else in the court saw Zhao Ji like this, he would be moved and burst into tears. But Liang Shicheng did not. As one of Zhao Ji's most beloved eunuchs and as the person who knows Zhao Ji's best, he knew that this was the old problem of the emperor's temperament. There was no way. Generally speaking, people like romantic talents and literati and scholars always like to make a piece of insight to express themselves. Then he was moved by the noble sentiment and rich emotions he showed. Now, with the end of the negotiations of the vassal states, the emperor is about to begin again.

Of course, this is also the moment when Liang Shicheng likes the most, and it is often this moment that makes the emperor feel better. "Sage, don't say that, all the civil and military ministers in the court know that you did this for the sake of the country and the country. Besides, letting the Liangshan bandits become vassal states is just a temporary measure. When the wars in all directions are quelled, it will be time to deal with them! At that time, inside, the four meshes will be pacified. Outside, our soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty will revival the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun under your wise leadership. Such great achievements will surely make the emperor famous for you forever!"

Zhao Ji was very helpful to him. He looked at Liang Shicheng with praise and nodded, "It would be great if the ministers in the court could also understand my good intentions like you."

Liang Shicheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not take it." Speaking of this, Liang Shicheng said, "By the way, Master, I just suddenly remembered something. The imperial edict did not specify who will be sent to supervise Jingdong. I am very frightened. I wonder if I just missed the words of the Master..."

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "You didn't missed it, I didn't say it, because this candidate... is really hard to decide!"

"Do you have anybody to tell me?" Zhao Ji then asked Liang Shicheng,

Liang Shicheng was happy, and after pretending to think for a moment, he said, "I really remembered someone...,"

Zhao Ji asked anxiously, "Oh? Who is it?"

Liang Shicheng said slowly, "The Grand Secretary of Xuanhe Palace, the governor of Huainan Army, Cai You!"

Zhao Ji was stunned, "He?"

Liang Shicheng continued, "The Liangshan Army is no better than other places. It is nominally the army of our Song Dynasty, but in fact it is not only the commander of the emperor. In order to change this situation, the military supervisor must be loyal to the emperor and resourceful to be able to step by step under the thief head Zhongfeng. Cai Yougui is the Grand Secretary of Xuanhe Palace and was also the governor of the Huainan Army. He is more than enough to supervise the military commander along the way. He and his father, Taishi Cai, are both ministers who are loyal to the emperor. In this way, Lord Cai is the best choice!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded slightly, "Okay, let's do as you wish, and I'll call Cai You as the supervisor of Jingdong Road."

Liang Shizhen put down the previous imperial edict in his hand, and immediately wrote a new imperial edict. However, as he was writing, a smug smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Early the next morning, Cai You, who received the imperial edict, was stunned. During this period, the court had been speculating who would be sent to serve as the military supervisor of the "family corps".

In the past, as long as the military supervisors of all walks of life, army, and government officials were not too remote and poor, they would become the focus of countless people's open and secret struggles. Who made the military supervisor represent the emperor? Sometimes the power was so great that even the highest officials in various places were not taken seriously.

But this time, the military supervisor position of the first vassal state established in the history of the Song Dynasty was unwilling to be the military supervisor of the Liangshan bandits, because everyone knew that being the military supervisor of the Liangshan bandits was simply a life-threatening person. He went deep into a bandit army that had no feelings for the Song Dynasty, but had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the imperial court to undermine the bandits. This was an almost impossible task, and the ending was very easy to become a person that both the Song and Liangshan bandits did not like and had to despise them.

Cai You had thought about this problem, but he just thought about it. Who was the emperor who sent to care about his bird affairs? But unexpectedly, this position that everyone avoided hit him inexplicably!

Cai You was very angry. He knew that he had been humiliated, but he didn't know who he was humiliated. Although he was full of anger and reluctance, he could only accept the imperial edict first, and then went crazy to find his father Cai Jing to see if there was any possibility of saving.

But the result disappointed him. Cai Jing did not react in surprise to what he said.

"Father, who is hurting the child?!" Cai You's eyes were shining, his face was covered in ferociousness, and he was obviously extremely angry!

"Just go, I know what the hell is wrong?" Cai Jing replied with a faint smile, "As for the person who harms you, my father knows who it is."

Cai You became even more furious, "Father, who is it? Tell the child quickly?!"

Cai Jing said, "The emperor was dismissed yesterday and did not decide the candidates. The ministers left the palace one after another. As a result, there were candidates in the harem only one night. Of course, it was not the ministers who helped the emperor make this decision, so there were only...."

"Liang Shicheng?" Cai You was shocked, "Why did he harm the child? I am very respectful to him on weekdays. Although I don't have too much friendship, I have never had any flaws."

Cai Jing sighed, "Although you don't have it, you have it for your father. Do you still remember the last debate in the court about where to dispatch Liu Fa? Zheng Juzhong, who was publicly supported by his father at that time."

How could Cai You not know about this kind of dispute over the throne? He also felt incredible about his father, who had always been neutral but suddenly supported the prince at that moment. As one of the emperor's close friends, he knew very well how much the emperor loved King Zhao Kai of Jia, and he had reminded his father Cai Jing more than once, but his always steady father chose to stand on the side of the prince at a moment when even if he remained neutral, he was a hundred times better than taking a team at will. Could it be that what happened today was the revenge of King Jia's faction? They did not dare to act on Cai Jing, who was in power in the court, so they took action against themselves.

"Father, I asked you many times, but you have never been willing to answer you. Now that I have ended up in such a land, I would like to ask my father to tell you why you support the prince, okay?" Cai You looked sad and angry.

Cai Jing was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Silly child, others don't know how to be a father, don't you know? Prince Jia? Prince? Which one is worth my husband's help? Haha... Even they are just two chess pieces."

Cai You was suddenly shocked. The two competitors of the throne, Prince and King Jia, are chess pieces? Who in the world dares to use these two as chess pieces? Unless..., Cai You remembered someone and felt a trembling heart!

Cai Jing looked at Cai You and nodded gently, "You guessed that, it's not someone else who asked me to support the prince, but the current emperor."

Cai You was stunned, his face full of shock.

"A smart emperor will never let the court unite like a rope. If that is the case, his emperor's throne will not be the same. Therefore, he needs a court with confrontation and battle, and also needs a group of ministers who will fight to the death." Cai Jing said seriously, "Child, remember, even if the current emperor is greedy for play, greedy for pleasure, extravagance, and abandon the government, he is still the emperor. For the king, he has no other skills, but he is a good move to control the ministers. For the father, he insists on not telling you, just because you are a little impatient and easy to follow my advice.

It is not conducive to the priest's valuation of you, because no one will like someone who can truly see through him. He also likes you very much. How could he deliberately listen to others and put you in danger? In my opinion, this is a test of the priest's valuation of you. He wants to take this to see my loyalty to him and to see if you can be controlled. So, after tonight, you will do whatever you have done before. It is best to express your idea of ​​not wanting to be a military supervisor naturally, so that more people know that you are unhappy, the better!"

Cai You felt suddenly enlightened and nodded seriously.

Cai Jing continued with a smile, "This time going to Jingdong may be a disaster for others, but it is an opportunity for you. And this incident unexpectedly has another effect, that is, you can take this opportunity to see Zhongfeng again. We made enemies with him by chance, but now he is no longer the same as before. When you see him, you open the skylight and say something brightly, tell him that my original promise has always been effective and ask him if he is still interested."
