Chapter 959 Hiding needles in the cotton, provoking strong enemies
Let's say that in order to rush to Xiao Jiaji to mourn his mentor Zhou Tong, Xiao Tang instructed Yan Qing to pack his bags and allocate manpower, after all, he is now an important minister of the Privy Council, and he must also go to the imperial city to tell Zhao Ji the reason for his leave and return to his hometown, so that he can leave Bianjing for a while.
Although Zhou Dong couldn't get into the eyes of Fang Jinzi and the powerful ministers of the court, after all, he used to be a teacher of the Tianzi seat of the Imperial Boxing Gym in Bianjing, and he also had some fame in the Bianliang Forbidden Army in Tokyo. Zhao Ji learned that it was Xiao Tang's division commander who died, although he did not have to return to his hometown to guard his filial piety according to the practice of officials in the court and the central government on the occasion of the death of his parents, but it is naturally human nature to return to his hometown to pay tribute to his teacher, and now Xiao Tang has not been rewarded for all kinds of military exploits due to the Song and Xia wars, but the relationship with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other officials in the court who are also close ministers of Zhao Ji is a little complicated...... Teaching Xiao Tang to return to his hometown for the funeral of his mentor during this period of time, it also saved any more accidents in the court, so Zhao Ji immediately relieved him with kind words and allowed Xiao Tang to take leave and return to his hometown.
Xiao Tang then returned to the mansion, and Haosheng instructed Yang Xu and other henchmen and brothers who took care of all kinds of matters in Bianjing's official face, and Wen Yan instructed the family members in the back house, and sent someone to tell Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others the reason, and then rushed back with Yan Qing and his relatives overnight, and went straight to Xiao Jiaji, the famous mansion on Hebei East Road.
It's just that since returning to Beijing, Xiao Tang has been running around for days due to official and private affairs, happy events and funerals, and it is inevitable that there will be some negligence in the case of rushing things, some things that should have been dealt with have not had time to do, and some people who should have needed to stabilize for the time being do not have the time and energy to be careful.......
It was Xiao Tang who was the most difficult person to deal with in the Bianjing officialdom, and he was also offended.
At this time, it was located in the luxurious mansion of Cai Jing, the minister of Bianliang in Tokyo, whether it was the servant in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, the maid and maid, and the housekeeper...... They are all doing their own errands carefully, and they don't even dare to take a breath of air, because these subordinates in Cai Jing's mansion also seem to be able to feel that the atmosphere in Cai Jing's mansion today is extremely depressing.
After decades in the Bianjing court, some people hate Cai Jing to the bone, and some people only look forward to Cai Jing, but almost no one dares to ignore the existence of this powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty who has had several ups and downs in the officialdom.
As a figure who has controlled the government for decades, Cai Jing listened to orders under the prince Anshimen, and later seemed to be Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Cai You and other powerful ministers who now hold power in the Great Song Dynasty, all of whom also looked up to Cai Jing's snort. and it seems to be Zhao Tingzhi, Zhang Shangying, Zhang Kangguo, and Zheng Juzhong...... Cai Jing has faced a lot of political enemies in his life, even if he loses power for a while, when Cai Jing turns over in the court, those sworn enemies and old opponents except for Zheng Juzhong now, most of them are not ruined, they were demoted or deposed to the far evil military state, or they died bizarrely, how many years of ups and downs, Cai Jing is still standing tall in the court, and even after every ups and downs, he is more powerful, and he can be the most powerful in the world today.
But Xiao Tang'er, my beloved son was entrusted to you to take care of, but he died in the chaos, and you didn't give the old man a at least reasonable explanation, did you really think that you were full-fledged, so you didn't put the old man in your eyes?
In the study of Cai's inner house, Cai Jing sat firmly on the Taishi chair, his slender eyes were slightly closed, although he seemed to be peaceful and calm, but there was also a faint anger between his eyebrows. In Cai Jing's view, whether it is Zhao Tingzhi, a migrant who eats inside and out, or Zhang Shangying, who is familiar with Buddhism and Zen skills, in his opinion, he is also an ancient eater...... Those old opponents dare to fight against themselves, but they are also courtiers, although Xiao Tang is in an important position in the Privy Council, after all, he is still sent by the military position, and he is favored by the official family and has risen to prominence, but his foundation in the court is still too shallow, what is the way of the world now? Even a puppet and a posterior boy dared not to look at the old man in his eyes!
In fact, speaking of which, Xiao Tang also remembered that Cai Jing died in the chaos under his care after all, and Cai Jing suffered the pain of losing his son, so he had to say it clearly in person. Previously, after Xiao Tang arrived in Bianjing, he also sent people to Cai's Mansion to inform him, and after meeting with the official's family affairs and receiving a generous reward from the imperial court, he came to visit Cai Gongxiang and made the "ins and outs" of Cai Yan's death clear to him.
But now Xiao Tang and Cai Jing are just a relationship between the false and the wronged, and he also knows that compared to the casual Zhao Ji, it is even more difficult to hide the pain of losing a child and Cai Jing, who is an old man, and he is a little reluctant, plus the happy events of his own brothers, mourning his mentor Zhou Tong's return to his hometown and other matters are more important in Xiao Tang's mind, before he is sure to hide Cai Jing, it is better to worry about his own private affairs. But how would he feel after Cai Jing knew about these things?
My son is doing the supervising army, and he should not be in the danger of any sword soldiers, but he died in the chaos under the care of you, a yellow-mouthed child, and after you Xiao Tang returned to Beijing, he put up lanterns and held a banquet in the mansion, and now he said that the teacher died, so he patted his ass and left, and wanted to return to the Hebei Daimyo's mansion? Why is Zhou Tong just a teacher in the Imperial Boxing Gym, a vulgar and reckless man, is it more precious than the life of the old man's beloved son!?
Cai Jing was furious in his heart, but he had already experienced extraordinary qi cultivation kung fu through the ups and downs of the sea for many years, so he was still able to calm down, but other people in Cai's mansion may not.
There was a sudden scolding sound from the study of the inner house, and the sandalwood door was rudely pushed open, Cai Jing's brows were even tighter, and he also knew that he dared to be so rude and presumptuous in his own mansion, I am afraid that only his most unsuccessful son Cai Jun would be.
The slender phoenix eyes opened open, and Cai Jing's eyes seemed to have a surging light, and he glared viciously at Cai Jun, who rushed into the door. Cai Jun, who was originally angry, saw Cai Jing's face look gloomy, and the foul words that rushed to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach, and Cai Jing immediately shouted: "Presumptuous! How many times have I told you to refrain from anger and rashness, and dare to behave like this in front of your father, what kind of system is this!? ”
Although he was reprimanded by his father, Cai Jun was not convinced, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and hissed: "Father! Xiao Tang was so lowly that the fifth brother died, and the boy who came to apologize for his sins would never spare him, but that guy actually said that the puppet who passed on his skills died and went out of Bianjing, which made it clear that he did not look at his father in his eyes! Even if that guy is favored by the official family, the child looks down on him as just a vulgar martial artist, and now he dares to be so rampant! Straight thief, how can you teach your child how to be angry with this bird? ”
Cai Jing was even more angry when he heard Cai Jun's anger and mouthful, and he was even more angry in his heart, and he scolded sharply: "Unscrupulous son who doesn't learn and has no skills!" You regard a vulgar martial artist as a lowly position, and the mansion is noisy and scolding and foul language, how can your father teach you to speak like this, and what is the difference between you and a lowly pawn in the market? Even if you refuse to spare that Xiao Tang child, what will you do? ”
Cai Jun snorted coldly, and said angrily: "What's the matter? If the official family doesn't call the shots, the child will send someone to destroy all kinds of businesses in the name of Bianjing, and he will breathe a sigh of relief for the fifth brother! What's more, now that the father is in high power, the child thought to himself..... It was not long before Xiao Tang left Beijing, and brought some cronies to catch up and kill him, but it also made it! ”
Cai Jing was so angry when he heard the words that his brain was also dizzy, how many sons under his knees, whether it was Cai You and others who had already fought against him for the phase, or the other sons who were scheming about the city, poetry and calligraphy, and also got a bit of their own true inheritance, but this Cai Jun had no ink on his chest and was also irritable, and he killed the important ministers of the court and the central government in private? This kind of bad idea can be thought of by this rebel!
It seems that the Taiwei Gao Yu, who was born in the floating waves, was originally a vulgar pariah, he only cared about greeting the official family, and Gao Ya, the son of the moth under his knees, was in Bianjing Hu Tianhudi, provoking Gao Yu to be poked in the back and scolding him by Bianjing up and down, and he didn't care, but I, Cai Jing's scholarly family, have gone through the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, how can I allow this rebel to stain my reputation in Beijing?
Xiao Tang Xiao'er... The old man has naturally thought of some ways to teach him to be ruined, but how to make it must be done at the most appropriate time...... As for this unscrupulous son, it seems that he must also find an errand for him, and he can't be left to hang out with the house anymore, otherwise when he wants to make his own decisions, he will spoil the old man's affairs! 8)
