Taishifu. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
In the past, the Taishi Mansion in the city, since Zhao Kai ascended the throne, it has immediately become deserted, even the subordinates of the Taishi Mansion rarely go in and out, you must know that Cai Jingke has not abdicated now, he is still the prime minister, and he is the first person in the dynasty.
Even in Cai Jing's previous few times, it was not as deserted as it is now.
Because everyone understands that you Cai Jing is the person of the Emperor Taishang, and he was also promoted by the Emperor Taishang, it can be said that he is the confidant of the Emperor, and now that the new emperor is on the throne, you will definitely not stay in this position for a long time, instead of scolding you, I should go to the people around the emperor today.
This morning, Cai Jing half-closed his eyes, lying under a big tree in the backyard to enjoy the shade, in the entire Taishi Mansion, maybe only this big tree is about the same age as him.
Now there is an undercurrent outside, the wind and clouds are rising, everyone is busy checking for news everywhere in order to save their lives, and Cai Jing has been sick at home since Zhao Kai took the throne, and he has never gone out of the door.
It's really a blessing to lose a horse!
After a while, a subordinate came over and said respectfully, "Master, King Yanyun is asking to see you outside the door." β
Cai Yong snorted: "How can this be reasonable, he still has the face to come here!" β
"It seems that the emperor can't wait." Cai Jing slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Yongzi, you go and invite him here, oh, don't let them know about this, and don't let people disturb us." β
Although Cai Yong was angry with Li Qi in his heart, in the face of Cai Jing's order, he didn't dare to disobey, and said, "Yes." β
After a while, Cai Yong walked over with Li Qi, but he didn't give Li Qi a good look, but this Cai Yong was good to him at the beginning, so Li Qi didn't care about him.
"Boy Li Qi has seen the Taishi."
There was no change, as soon as Li Qi saw Cai Jing, he still saluted respectfully as before.
Cai Jing smiled with a little relief, raised his hand, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down." β
After Li Qi sat down, Cai Jing said to Cai Yong and them, "You all go out." β
Cai Yong glanced at Li Qi with a little worry, but still left with a group of subordinates who were waiting by the side.
Li Qi said with concern: "Taishi has been in good health recently?" β
"I'm old, I went to Jiangnan to toss around, and I have only eased up in the last two days." Cai Jing shook his head, looked at Li Qi with a smile and said, "I heard that you have made great contributions in Yanyun again, it is really gratifying!" β
"This-this is all due to the original cultivation of the Taishi, and Li Qi is now here."
When he said this, Richie's expression seemed a little unnatural.
Although Cai Jing's eyes were dizzy, his heart was like a mirror, and he seemed to smile: "What? Don't you feel sorry for the old man? β
Li Qi didn't expect Cai Jing to say it so bluntly, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer, because he would have to do something that hurt Cai Jing even more.
Cai Jing said: "It seems that your father-in-law didn't give you a good look." β
Li Qi said: "Not really, because I haven't seen him at all." β
Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, your old father-in-law is this surname, and he takes the worthless face more seriously than anything else, if he is like the old man, it is estimated that he will die eight hundred times." β
At the beginning, Bai Shizhong also relied on Cai Jing to get up, so Cai Jing knew Bai Shizhong very well.
This ginger is still old and spicy, the truth! Li Qi laughed twice, but Wu Zi didn't answer, after all, Bai Shizhong is still his father-in-law, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but he can't say it, this is a matter of politeness, nothing else.
Cai Jing asked: "Li Qi, on the way back, do you think that the situation in the capital is much more difficult than fighting with the Jin army?" β
Li Qi nodded and said, "It's not a secret, that's exactly the case." β
"You're confused!" Cai Jing said very frankly: "If this is an old man, he would rather face a situation that is a hundred times more complicated than this, rather than go to war with the Jin people." β
As he spoke, his eyelids raised slightly, looked directly at Li Qi, and said, "What are you guilty of?" What do you feel guilty about? You yourself once said that above the court, there are no absolute friends, there are no absolute enemies, the same interests, that is friends, people who want to infringe on their own interests, that is the enemy, at the beginning, our group of old horsemen, is your stumbling block, of course you have to clean us up, this is not wrong, but it is very beautiful, even the old man has to admire you. β
Li Qi was shocked when he heard this, and said cautiously: "Taishi, what you said is not the opposite, right?" β
Cai Jing said angrily: "You kid is like a monkey, does the old man need to say anything back?" β
He has a point, too. Li Qi was puzzled: "But no matter what, I am indeed sorry for you, or I have hurt your interests." β
Cai Jing laughed out loud when he heard this, but then there was a huge cough.
Li Qi quickly patted him on the back.
After half a ring, Cai Jing eased up and said: "Don't look down on the old man too much, the old man has been in this court for decades, and there are more than a thousand people who are sorry for the old man, and there are countless people who are sorry for the old man." β
He said this very heroically, he was fully qualified to say this, just say that the politicians who died in his hands, that can really be piled up, but he was also defeated so badly that he almost lost his life, but he survived in the end, and almost all of his enemies died, or they were worthy of the frontier, without exception, even if he died now, he was still a big winner in his life.
Cai Jing continued: "But if the old man is like you, the old man died decades ago due to guilt. Take Zhao Tingzhi as an example, the old man and he spared no effort to eliminate the Yuanyou Party, including his in-law Li Gefei, but do you know that at the beginning, the old man also specially asked him whether he was open to the net. Zhao Tingzhi said to the old man at that time, Li Gefei is a native of Sumen and a student of Su Shi, if I spare him today, it is inevitable that he will not come to me for revenge in the future, and even Li Gefei's name was written by him himself. β
Li Qi was silent when he heard it, but he thought in his heart, this is the cruel surname of Zhengzhì!
Cai Jing continued: "What happened later, you should also know very well that after the elimination of the Yuanyou Party, Zhao Tingzhi coveted the status of the old man, so he began to plan to seize the prime minister of the old man, and he did it, but unfortunately he failed to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, not because he didn't want to, but because the emperor opened up to the old man at that time." It is precisely because of this that the old man can turn over, but the old man will not give him this opportunity, if he does not die of illness, the old man will definitely not let him stay in the capital. In fact, when we purged the Yuanyou Party, our relationship can be said to be as close as brothers, because we worked late at night, rested in the same bed, and talked with candles and nights, but in less than a year, we all wanted to kill each other, why, because one mountain does not allow two tigers. But you have to ask the old man if he feels guilty, the old man can sue you, the old man is not guilty at all, even in the Yuanyou party membership incident, many people scolded the old man for being a disaster for the country and a thief, and the old man ignored it, because where did those nerds know that if the old man didn't demote them away, then it would be the old man who left, if so, then the Su family might become this chaotic minister and thief. β
Saying that, he stretched out his hand, patted Li Qi's shoulder, and said: "Li Qi, this being an official and being an official are two different things, if you are not an official, you hurt someone else, you should feel guilty for it, but if you are an official, you must be hard-hearted, especially your current situation, because if you don't kill others, others will never be grateful to you for this, once they have the opportunity, they will try their best to kill you, because everyone wants to be the king of Yanyun." β
Li Qi said: "But Taishi, have you really never regretted it?" β
Cai Jing was slightly stunned, and sighed: "The only thing that the old man regrets is that he was too greedy for power at that time, and he didn't think that after the old man's death, the Cai family's back road, this is all thanks to you reminding the old man, and the old man is grateful for this, even at this time, Wu Zi is like this, if you hadn't built the Taishi College at that time, I'm afraid the Cai family would be over today." At this point, you have done much better than the old man, and until now, you have been hard-hearted, if you had scruples about Bai Shizhong, scruples about the old man, and scruples about the emperor, you will not succeed at all. Now that you've come this far, why not keep going. β
Li Qi said: "Taishi means that I will be hard-hearted in the next actions. β
Cai Jing nodded with a smile and said, "The children can be taught." But you can use the old man's words as a reference, the old man knows that you have your own style of acting, and the old man also agrees with your set very much, which I believe you can weigh yourself, don't be too influenced by others. β
Li Qi sighed, but he was puzzled in his heart, and secretly thought, at this time, your Cai family is also in danger, you still make me hard-hearted, aren't you afraid that I will instigate the emperor to uproot your Cai family, what is this old man thinking?
Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi and said, "You don't want to uproot my Cai family and never suffer in the future." β
Say. In front of this old thing, he really can't leave at all! Li Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "How is it possible, I have no such intention." Merely. β
He wanted to speak again and again, but Cai Jing didn't know what he wanted to say, and said, "It's just that you are wondering, why would the old man say this to you at this time?" β
Li Qi nodded and said truthfully, "Yes." I do wonder about that. β
Cai Jing said: "Let's put it this way, if the old man is twenty or thirty years younger, the old man will definitely not say this to you." β
Li Qi immediately understood, the current Cai family is still supported by Cai Jing alone, once he falls, then the Cai family is not so terrible, although Cai Jing is powerful, but he is old and may die at any time, so whether it is Zhao Kai or himself, he will not regard him as a threat, plus the storage of Taishi Academy, he will be even more at ease.
Another point is that he must now express to Li Qi that I can understand what you are doing, which is normal, I don't blame you, and I don't see you as an enemy.
The implication of this is to show favor to Richie.
In fact, Cai Jing understands Li Qi's surname very well, as long as the Cai family does not pose any threat to Li Qi, Li Qi will definitely remember the old favor and will not kill them all, so he hopes that after his death, Li Qi can take care of the Cai family, which is his real purpose.
Li Qi also understood Cai Jing's intentions, so he said: "I have always remembered the kindness of the Taishi to me before, and if Li Qi is needed in the future, Li Qi will definitely be duty-bound." β
"I hope you can remember what I said today." Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "Actually, there is another reason why the old man said this. β
Li Qi was stunned and said, "What? β
"That's why you're here." Cai Jing smiled and said: "The old man has expected that you are here to be a lobbyist, but there are some things that you find difficult to say, in fact, if you say it directly, the old man can also understand, you will treat this as a deal, you tell me first, what can the old man get because of this?" β
