Chapter 615: The Old Fox Capsizes
In Youzhou City, Cai Jing has returned to normal, maybe he has accepted the current situation, he doesn't know what Li Jing will do with himself, but one thing is certain, Li Jing will never kill himself, so he is very leisurely now, or reading in the pavilion, or coming to Youzhou City, finding a restaurant, drinking a glass or two, and watching the recent changes in Youzhou City.

Suddenly, his face was stunned, looking at the team that was slowly coming not far away, dozens of black-armored soldiers escorted a few civilian officials to come slowly, the person at the head had a straight face, and the three long beards made him look a little elegant.
"Zhao Ding? Why did Zhao Ding come? Cai Jing suddenly changed color, he found that something was wrong, and couldn't help but stand up and shout: "But Yuanzhen? Cai Jing is here. "Zhao Dingzi Yuanzhen, Cai Jing called the other party at this time, and also expressed respect for the other party.
Zhao Ding also found Cai Jing in the restaurant at this time, his face suddenly showed a trace of strangeness, he stopped the guards of the soldiers around him, got down from the war horse, arched his hand towards Cai Jing, and went up the stairs, no matter what, he and Cai Jing were also once ministers in the same hall, since they met in Youzhou, he naturally wanted to see each other, and it could be regarded as the affection of his colleagues.
"I didn't expect Yuanzhen to see me at this time." When Zhao Ding went up to the second floor, he saw that Cai Jing had already come out of the stairs to greet him, and there was a smile on his old face, this kind of courtesy surprised Zhao Ding in his heart, and he quickly understood what Cai Jing was thinking at the moment, and sighed slightly.
"Taishi." A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Ding's mouth, arched his hand towards Cai Jing, and said, "After a long time, I didn't expect to meet the Taishi in Youzhou." ā
"This is also thanks to the general, otherwise, where would the old man drink here?" Cai Jing laughed and said.
"This is naturally the merit of the king, otherwise, relying on the imperial court, I am afraid that in another hundred years, I may not be able to take Youzhou, what does the Taishi think?" Zhao Ding drank a glass of wine in front of him, sighed, and said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Khitan, how many soldiers and horses are in Tong Guan, and they were actually beaten by Yelu Dashi and fled in embarrassment, Taishi, what can you make Zhao Ding say?" Zhao Ding's heart is extremely complicated, even if he is Li Jing's father-in-law, and Li Jing's Qilin Pavilion scholar, he still has some thoughts about the imperial court, but the current imperial court makes him very disappointed, Tong Guan's 300,000 army did not capture Youzhou, and in the end, it was taken down by Li Jing's tens of thousands of troops, which shows that the imperial court is now decaying.
Cai Jing's face changed slightly, and finally turned into a long sigh, he is actually the ruler of the empire, how can he not know the situation here, but he has no way to change all this, and the only one who can really change is Zhao Ji himself, but will Zhao Ji himself change? I'm afraid this is also impossible, he was about to speak, when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhao Ding, and said, "What did you just say about the king?" Could it be Li Jing? ā
"Naturally, the king naturally wants to be the king, this is unchangeable, whether it is me or others, whoever dares to stop the king from becoming the king is the enemy of hundreds of thousands of armies, and no one dares to stop it, even if it is the king." Zhao Ding looked at Cai Jing with pity, although he didn't know that Cai Jing would have such eyes, but it was obvious that Cai Jing was fooled.
"But?" Cai Jing showed a trace of screaming, he suddenly remembered that it was not Li Jing who reminded him at the beginning, but Yelu Dashi, where did he not know that he was on Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi is like this, probably what Zhao Ding said, who dares to dissuade Li Jing at this time, is to fight against Li Jing's subordinates, Yelu Dashi is like this, but it is just for Li Jing to take another step forward on the road to becoming the king, and it can even be said that he has calculated the court ruthlessly.
"Although I don't know what kind of decision the Taishi made, the lower officials can conclude that the Taishi's wish may not be realized." Zhao Ding glanced at Cai Jing deeply, showing a hint of regret.
"Yes, yes, although he is Li Jing's person, he still belongs to the Khitan people in his roots, my Great Song Dynasty united with the Jin people to destroy the Khitan, he must have resentment in his heart, and it is understandable to come out at this time and let Li Jing be the king." Cai Jing was bitter for a while, suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhao Ding and said: "Yuan Zhen, you should persuade Li Jing, although he is also called king, but one is canonized by the imperial court, and the other is self-proclaimed by himself, if he establishes himself as a king, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed by the world, and the people of the world will not submit to him, only after the canonization of the imperial court, can he have the face to stand between heaven and earth!" will last forever. ā
"Why should the old lady be like this, not to mention that the Tang King is the bloodline of the Li family of the previous dynasty, this world is also the world of the Li family, and later after the division of the feudal town, there was the Chai family, but what can the Chai family do? Tang Wang is the son-in-law of the Chai family, and he can inherit the Chai family, but the Zhao family took the country from the hands of the Chai family's orphans and widows, and now he has stolen the country for more than 100 years, and he should come back. Zhao Ding sighed slightly, and sighed: "This is the case, maybe it is the reincarnation of cause and effect, it is retribution!" The 300,000 army of the imperial court couldn't even defeat the tens of thousands of troops of Yelu Dashi, and the lower officials couldn't see where the future of the Great Song Dynasty was. Even if Youzhou is returned to the imperial court, can the imperial court hold Youzhou? ā
Cai Jing's face was pale, although Zhao Ding's words were a little ugly, but they represented the thoughts of all the generals under King Tang, and he finally understood his current situation now.
First of all, Li Jing's self-establishment as king will not change, and with the arrival of Zhao Ding, it will be held soon, Qin Hui and others, who have already come with the holy decree, will undoubtedly be slapped in the face, and the majesty of the court is about to be trampled on, but he has no way to change.
The second is Youzhou, whether Youzhou will return to the hands of his own court He doesn't know, even if it is back in the hands of the court, I'm afraid the next step is to consider how the court will defend Youzhou. Is the imperial court ready to take over Youzhou now? Cai Jing found that he only had Tong Guan's tens of thousands of troops left in his hands, and it was impossible to rely on these tens of thousands of troops.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the staircase, and I saw several soldiers wearing black armor coming to the restaurant, glanced at the restaurant, and soon saw Zhao Ding and Cai Jing, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhao Ding.
"Lord Cai, tomorrow the king will worship heaven and earth in Yanshan, and invite Lord Cai to watch the ceremony." The soldier at the head arched his hand towards Cai Jing.
Cai Jing's face changed slightly, and he was about to object, but when he saw that the soldiers not far behind him had already pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Since this is the case, thank you to the king." ā
Zhao Ding saw it clearly, sighed in his heart, arched his hand towards Cai Jing, and under the escort of several soldiers, he got out of the restaurant, and the two were not all the way after all.
