Chapter 611: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

"Lord Yelu, where is General Li?" Outside the palace, Cai Jing saw Yelu Dashi walk out, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't call Li Jing's name in his mouth at this time, but called the other party a general.

"The king has already rested, let the lower officials come to see the prince. If the Taishi has any needs, he can tell the lower officials, and the lower officials will meet the requirements of the Taishi as much as possible. Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty? Li Jing is so bold, he really called the king, isn't he afraid of the opposition of the world? He has now finally captured Youyun, he will be a hero among the entire Han people, and the Han people all over the world admire him, at this time, if he claims to be the king without authorization, I am afraid that the people of the world will oppose him, and after a thousand years, there will be a strong mark in the history books, which will be left for thousands of years. Cai Jing couldn't help but change his face and said loudly.

Cai Jing didn't believe the news he got from the mouths of outsiders, but now that he got the news from Yelu Dashi's mouth, Cai Jing finally believed it, and his old face changed color, so he was ready to break into the palace.

"Taishi, you and I are both smart people, this history book is also written by the victor, the Xuanwumen Change, Tang Taizong killed his brother and coerced his father, but in the end, he didn't become a generation of Ming Jun, leaving a strong mark in the history books?" Yelu Dashi said with some indifference: "What's more, Dashi heard that when the first emperor of the Song family died, he once issued a holy decree that those who can recover the clouds should be crowned kings?" This is the edict left by your former emperor. ”

"Hmph, this king refers to the holy decree issued by the imperial court, and the court will seal whatever king it says, instead of being like him, self-proclaimed king, what is the difference between this and Tian Hu and others, this will be stinking for thousands of years." Cai Jing said disdainfully.

"If you win, you won't be left stinking for 10,000 years, can the little Tian Hu be compared to our king?" Yelu Dashi said disdainfully: "Old lady, in fact, everyone is a king, one is the king of my family, the other is canonized by the Son of Heaven, there is no difference, your holy decree is not clearly issued to the world, according to the meaning of the lower officials, everyone knows what is going on, but outsiders do not know, the court can completely declare to the outside world that the court has canonized my king as the king of Tang, I believe that the king is merciful, and I don't care about these people, what does the master think?" ”

After Cai Jing heard this, his face changed greatly, he didn't expect Yelu Dashi to be so shameless, how rich the matter of sealing the king was, but in the eyes of the other party, it was so simple, so casual, if it was really done according to Yelu Dashi, once it spread, I am afraid that the world was in an uproar, and the majesty of the imperial court had fallen to a low point, and he Cai Jing had also become the laughing stock of the world.

"Lord Yelu, is this taking me Cai Jing for a fool? If this matter is agreed, the imperial court will be ridiculed by the world, how can I rule the world, I, Cai Jing, am afraid that I will not be able to go back to Bianjing, and I will become the object of scolding from the world. Cai Jing looked at Yelu Dashi coldly, his face was gloomy, and he sneered: "I, Cai Jing, have lived for so long, and no one has ever dared to insult the old man in this regard, but I didn't expect to see it in Youzhou City today." ”

"Why do you have to do this, do you think you can change the situation in front of you?" Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "Now the world is divided into four parts, the territory of the imperial court is the largest, the king is second, the Jin people are again, and the Western Xia is the least, but if it is a real victory, the king is not as good as the Jin people, but it is much stronger than the imperial court, at this time, what will the imperial court take to seize Youzhou?" And what is used to curb the king's claim to be king? Although the Taishi is smart, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the Taishi does not have enough strong troops in his hands, how can he be the opponent of the king, even if the king is called the emperor, the court has no way. What does the master think? ”

"Hmph, Lord Yelu has a clever tongue, but it can't change the fact that Li Jing's conspiracy to rebel and proclaim himself king can't be changed, after the people of the world know about this matter, they will definitely attack it in groups, no matter how powerful Li Jing is, he is not the opponent of the world's heroes, and sooner or later he will be destroyed by the imperial court." Cai Jing said viciously, in fact, he was not sure of all this that he said.

"Xiaguan is just telling the truth, there are some things that the king is not good to say to the Taishi, because he still remembers the friendship with the Taishi, but the Xiaguan is different, the Xiaguan has a few words to say to the Taishi." Yelu Dashi looked at Cai Jing and sighed slightly: "Taishi thinks that today's king is still the original king, maybe the king will be concerned about the friendship with Taishi, but the proud soldiers and fierce generals under the king will not, these people are complex, there are bandits, Khitans, and grassland people, these people are now following the king's side, if the king is always just a general who conquers the north, will these people still have a head?" The king can only become the king, and these will continue to follow the king. It can be said that at this time, the king is no longer the king because of himself, but because the king's subordinates ask the king to be the king, and the prince is in the officialdom, so he will not understand the mystery in it! ”

After Cai Jing listened, his face changed slightly, Yelu Dashi said this, it is not unreasonable, Li Jing is no longer a person, he has become a representative of an interest group, if he does not move forward, he will definitely be overthrown by his subordinates, so what Yelu Dashi said also has a certain amount of truth, but all this, can it be an excuse to be the king?

"Taishi, the lower official is still that opinion, anyway, the court has decided to canonize the king as the king, but it is just a king of Wu, a king of Tang, and it is almost the same, the world does not know now, the lower official thinks that the king declares to the outside world that the throne of the king is canonized by the imperial court, so that the face of the imperial court can also be maintained, after all, even if there is no canonization of the imperial court, the king still has to be called the king, and the old Taishi can't change anything, Taishi thinks what the lower official said makes sense?" Yelu Dashi said with a smile.

Cai Jing's face froze, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes, of course he knew that no matter what he did, he probably couldn't change the current situation, and if he wanted to get out of it smoothly, he could only look for Bianjing, and he could only let Zhao Ji call the shots.

sighed at the moment and said: "This matter is very important, and your majesty can't make the decision, and you will make a decision after the old man reports to the Son of Heaven." Leave. "Cai Jing doesn't want to stay here for a moment, he must quickly report this matter to Bianjing and let Bianjing make a decision.

"Da Shi Linya, will Cai Jing really do what we guessed?" The attendant beside Yelu Dashi asked with some concern.

"It is impossible for him to change the ending, and it is impossible for others to solve this matter for him, so he can only rely on the emperor of the Song family, and it is useless for others to agree." Yelu Dashi said proudly.

"If the Song family really agrees, then what should it be?" The squire said with some concern.

"Where in the world is there an impermeable wall, once this matter is leaked, it will be a scandal in the Song Dynasty, where will the Song Dynasty still have this face to dominate the world in the future?" Yelu Dashi looked at Cai Jing's back with a gloomy face.

Cai Jing couldn't take care of these anymore, he hurriedly returned to the post house, hurriedly formed the content of his conversation with Yelu Dashi, and ordered someone to send it to Bianjing, from Yelu Dashi's conversation, he felt that the current situation, even if Li Jing didn't want to be the king, his subordinates would force him to be the king, which was an impossible fact. The situation faced by the imperial court is like this, even Cai Jing is not easy to make suggestions at this time, so he can only make a simple overview of the situation and let Zhao Ji make a decision.

After he asked people to send the letter away, he sat down, sighed, and suddenly thought of something, his mood was relieved, and suddenly he thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he patted his thigh and said, "I've been fooled." Cai Jing stood up violently, and was about to order someone to chase back the soldier who delivered the letter, but in the end he could only sigh and sit down again.

He is a smart person, at first he was shocked by what Yelu Dashi said, and he didn't have time to ask under the shock, his mind was a mess, now it's different, he already feels the problem here, although Yelu Dashi didn't say it explicitly, but now think about it, this is a bureau, a bureau that has to put the court in, if it is really like what Yelu Dashi said, Li Jing's matter is completely ignorant, that is, let Li Jing tightly grasp the handle of the court, but what can be done like this, Cai Jing thought of Yelu Dashi's words.

agreed, maybe everything is negotiable, if not, do you still need to send troops to fight for Youzhou? Not to mention whether the imperial court has such troops, but whether it can defeat Li Jing is a question. Cai Jing felt that there was nothing he could do in the face of this situation. It's just to reflect the situation to Bianjing and wait for Bianjing's reply.

Even he himself is reluctant to participate in this matter, once the matter is exposed, according to his understanding of Zhao Ji, I am afraid that Zhao Ji will put all the charges on himself, and at that time, he must be speechless. So Cai Jing is still good at protecting himself.

"Taishi, the golden envoy outside asks to see you." At this time, the pro-soldier said outside.

"Please." Cai Jing's face suddenly showed a hint of joy and waved his hand. Li Jing put himself and Yu Zhongwen together, obviously he didn't take the two of them to heart, or he had other considerations, until now, Cai Jing didn't believe that Li Jing didn't have any political wisdom at all, but what kind of conspiracy and tricks were hidden in it, it was not something that Cai Jing could think of in a short time.

"Old lady." Yu Zhongwen smiled, and there was a hint of respect on his face, no matter what the relationship between the two was, Yu Zhongwen's behavior was very good, even if Cai Jing was very dissatisfied with him in his heart, there was a smile on his face, not to mention that Cai Jing was still ready to use the other party.

"Sit down! Lord Yu doesn't stay in his room, and when he comes to the old man, I'm afraid it's not as simple as reminiscing! Serve tea! Cai Jing pointed to the chair opposite and said: "Everyone understands people, right now Li Jing is ready to fight left and right, let you and me fight each other, you Jin people will not let Li Jing occupy Youzhou so easily!" Cai Jing also looked at Yu Zhongwen straight to the point.

"Taishi, look at what you said, in fact, the reason why my Dajin hunted Youzhou is to help my allies recover the lost territory, and I have no other thoughts." Yu Zhongwen hurriedly said: "It's just that this matter has changed, Li Jing's strong appearance has made you and me both suffer heavy losses, but allies are allies, as long as Youzhou does not return to the Song family, you and I are still allies." ”

Cai Jing nodded with satisfaction, although the Jin people may have other thoughts, but the war between Li Jing and the Jin people has started, and for a long time to come, the war will still continue, and the Jin people need an ally.

"It's still the same as the alliance signed at the beginning, whoever occupies the place is owned by whom, if Youzhou and Yunzhou are occupied by the Jin army, the territory is owned by the Song, and the money is owned by the Jin people, what about it?" Cai Jing thought for a while and said.

This is the alliance made by the two sides in order to attack Liao, Cai Jing still wants to implement it according to the original covenant, and there will be no change in the territory, he believes that Zhao Ji will definitely agree. Although he spread the place of the covenant from Youzhou to the entire Youyun, he was still confident in convincing Zhao Ji.

"No, this time it's not just Youyun, but more places are involved, and Xia Guan thinks that no matter where it is, it should be carried out in accordance with this covenant." Yu Zhongwen thought for a while and said.

There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, the Jin people may not know the details of the Song people, but as a former Liao country, they know the details of the Song people, not to mention the defeat of Tong Guan's 300,000 army, you must know that Li Jing's current territory is not only Youyun, but also grassland, and Hedong Road. Yu Zhongwen's eyes naturally took a fancy to Hedong Road.

Compared with the prosperity of Youzhou, the population of Hedong Road is more, what the Jin people need now is population, Yu Zhongwen also counted Hedong Road in it, not only the population is as simple, in fact, everything has fallen into his pocket, and if he wants to take it back, it is also impossible.

Cai Jing's face was gloomy, he sensed the ambition of the Jin people from Yu Zhongwen's words, and said at the moment: "Is this the opinion of Lord Yu, or the opinion of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

When Yu Zhongwen heard this, he immediately knew that Cai Jing had doubts in his heart, and said without thinking about it at the moment: "This matter is the opinion of the lower officials themselves, but I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely agree." It's just that I'm afraid that this time will have to be reconsidered. ”

Cai Jing nodded when he heard this, and the little doubt in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, as long as it was not the opinion of the Jin State, it showed that the Emperor of the Jin State did not set his sights on the Central Plains, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

"Li Jing is king at this time, probably to ask for more things, and the old man will slowly spend it with him, so that we can get more time." Cai Jing said with confidence: "As long as you and I join forces, a little Li Jing will still not be able to turn the sky upside down." "As the Taishi of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing still has such courage.
