Chapter 477: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (8)
Cai You raised his chin proudly, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said with a smile, "You think so too?" Hmph, I came all the way here and didn't let me into the city. After returning to Bianliang, a certain family must participate in them ruthlessly. ”
As an authentic second-generation official, he lives in Bianliang City, which has excellent conditions, and is also the eldest son of the Prime Minister. Cai You has always been above the top, and he can't see the changes in the world at all. It's too far worse than his father.
As for Li Gang's side, he was completely jealous. Because he didn't dare to look at that Jingguan! Where can the delicate flowers living in the greenhouse withstand the ravages of wind and rain?!
Gao Yang didn't let them wait long. Soon, Fang Mingjing went out of the city to bring Li Gang and Cai You and his party into the city.
"A certain family has come with a holy decree, where are you going to be the Lord?" Li Gang and his entourage were settled in a dilapidated mansion, which was considered good in Yingzhou City. Cai You, who was obviously unhappy with the environment, immediately called out.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at him with an idiot look. Is this man a fool? If you don't know the situation, you can't talk so stupidly, right? What time is it now, and what kind of place is it! With such a mouth full of gibberish, I am not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!
"How can we see the master of our family when you want to see it?" Fang Mingjing, who originally had a faint smile on his face, immediately turned pale, and said with a sneer before Li Gang could speak, "Wait, when our family master is free, he will naturally summon you and others." If you can't wait, please. After saying that, he turned around and left.
rejected Li Gang's retention, and before leaving the door, he had a black face and glanced at Cai You coldly. Flicked his cuffs and said in a cold voice, "I don't know what to say!" ”
After Fang Mingjing left, Li Gang immediately glared at Cai You angrily! Facing Cai You, who was still chattering to himself, he roared angrily: "A certain family is the right envoy!" If you dare to say more, then go back to Taiyuan City! ”
Li Gang was originally a strongman who worked against Cai You's father. Seeing that Cai You, a fool, came up and put on a big oolong, where would he be polite to him? If he hadn't carried the holy decree of Huizong on his body, he would have dared to drive him back to Bianliang at that time!
Cai Yu is a bully who is afraid of the hard. If there is good, go up, and if there is no good, hide from the people. For the sake of his own power, even his father dares to betray him, where can he have any position at all?
He didn't have the guts to fight against Li Gang. After being reprimanded, he looked at the strange eyes of the people around him, his face turned red, he threw down his sleeves fiercely, turned around and went back to the room to rest.
Li Gang is a person from Song Qinzong, and Cai You is of course a person from Song Huizong.
At the beginning of the year, the Jurchen army marched south. Enter Bianliang City. Song Huizong fled south in a panic, and hurriedly settled in Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, leaving him to stay in Bianliang City and wait for death.
Who knew that Song Qinzong had a great fate, and he reused Li Gang and others to resist the Jin army. At the same time, the divisions of King Qin from all over the country arrived in a big way, and they successfully resisted the first siege of the Jurchens.
After the Jurchens withdrew, a group of Song Huizong, who fled south, returned to Bianliang City with a cheeky face.
It's just that there are already people in their positions at the moment, and even the emperor has changed. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the most fiercely contested thing since ancient times is power. Enjoyed the wonderful taste of power. Who can really let go? Gao Yang is an exception to this choice.
On one side, the new monarch ascended the throne, and a large group of newcomers who followed him over, as well as the ministers who were unwilling during the previous reign of Huizong. And because they successfully fended off the attacks of the Jurchens, their prestige was high.
On the other side is the abdicated emperor, with a large group of old ministers and old people. Although down. There's no such thing as fame. But after years in business, the intertwined relationships have penetrated into every corner of the country. The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although Song Huizong's side has a bad reputation, but its strength is still strong.
The two gangs began a battle before the Jurchen army had completely withdrawn from the country. The struggle for power is brutal. Even if the foreign enemy looks around at this moment, the country is in danger, and you must decide a winner by yourself first!
There are sensible people on both sides. We all know that in this era, we can no longer solve problems by using party struggle. If you want to gain the upper hand, you must have military power! The warriors who have been suppressed by the literati and doctors for a hundred years are the key!
The Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army in Bianliang City was almost divided into two factions. The empress concubines of the emperors of the Song Dynasty have always been married from the homes of these generals. Almost every family is a relative of the emperor. All kinds of chaotic forces are intertwined, and no one dares to really express their support for which emperor. can only stalemate on the surface, and secretly play all kinds of means.
However, in the eyes of those who understand, the so-called metropolitan gate control army is not a problem at all! Because you can't fight, you can't do anything except the number of people. What they need is foreign aid, foreign aid with strong combat power!
Gao Yang's victorious army suddenly rose like a comet, giving them hope. A powerful army that can defeat Yan Zonghan and scare Yan Xiyin's wolf is the decisive force!
At this moment when the Western Army is almost disintegrating, who a strong army like the Chang Victorious Army chooses to turn to will almost determine the victory or defeat! You don't need to do anything more, as long as you send the Changsheng army to Bianliang City in the name of King Qin, then the victory and defeat have been divided.
What's more, such a strong army is enough to fight against the powerful Jurchen army in the north. Guarding the great country passed down by the ancestors.
As for the ancestral means by which the garrison will be bigger, of course, there are. When the general trend has been decided, it is not too late to use it. The Great Song Dynasty has suppressed the warriors for more than 100 years, how can it be possible for a powerful warlord to appear again?! The Western Army is an example of them!
As for using a group of weak scholars to suppress and humiliate the warriors in every possible way, the bloody nature and martial spirit of this nation are gradually disappearing. After that, no one can beat it, and anyone can come up and step on a few feet and spit a few mouthfuls of spit, then they don't care. As long as you live well.
When I die, let him flood the sky!
At this moment, the most important task is to win over Gao Yang and bring that strong ever-winning army to his side.
As for why Song Huizong sent Cai You, a stupid-looking person, to do something to win over Gao Yang? There's a reason for that, too.
First of all, Song Huizong's cronies had to stay in Bianliang City to fight with the other faction. I really can't pull away. Among these cronies, Cai You is the only one who is free and has enough identity.
What's more, Cai Jing, an important confidant of Song Huizong, wants to leave a way back for his son and this family!
Cai Jing is eighty years old. How long will he live? He knows better than anyone else what kind of virtue his sons are!
Once he dies, the entire Cai family will collapse! In order to leave a way back for his children and grandchildren, Cai Jing spent a lot of effort to grab this errand for his son!
It's a pity that Prime Minister Cai's hard work was all in vain. Cai You is actually not stupid, on the contrary, he is still a little smart. But it's just a little cleverness.
A person who took the initiative to ally with his father's enemies and betrayed his father in order to be able to climb up for himself, can you still expect him to have any great wisdom?
Of course, Cai You knew what his task was, and he also knew the importance of this matter. It's just that the perennial pampering and noble status, the nobility and martial arts that lasted for more than a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, and the fairy-like life in the bustling and lively Bianliang City all the year round made him lose himself.
He thought it was decades ago, a rogue gangster. The imperial court came to recruit peace with great benefits, so it was not enough to bow down? Cai You is not stupid, just proud.
He lived under his father all the year round and had no experience in social life. His father is the prime minister, and he is a high-ranking official. He didn't bow his head to anyone except the emperor. It's a matter of habits, not stupidity.
Nothing was said all night.
Gao Yang woke up early the next day. After eating breakfast refreshed, I went to the barracks to watch the morning exercises, and then went to the craftsman camp to see the latest piece of weapons. After returning to the city and dealing with some affairs, I remembered that there were envoys from the Song Dynasty on my side.
Gao Yang met Li Gang and Cai You in the shabby living room in the backyard of the government.
Gao Yang, who has been wandering in a different time and space for several years, has long lost the excitement of meeting historical figures. Yue Fei is an idol, it's different.
Li Gang looked at the fierce armorers standing outside the door with indifferent expressions and an iron-blooded intent all over his body, and couldn't help but nod slightly in his heart. This is the real strong soldier!
After seeing these sergeants, the last trace of doubt in Li Gang's heart finally dissipated. With such a strong army, it is not impossible to defeat the Jurchen army.
"Mr. Liang Xi, I have admired the name for a long time, I don't know what you are doing this time?" Gao Yang was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting in the middle of the hall, and immediately asked with a smile after Li Gang and Cai You walked in. Didn't do those cumbersome etiquette either.
As for Cai Yu on the side, I'm sorry, let's take a break.
Li Gang was stunned in his heart, why didn't the tall and dignified general in front of him play his cards according to common sense?
But after all, he is a big man who has left a name in history, and Li Gang quickly came back to his senses. He clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly, and said in a positive voice: "A certain is the Great Song Dynasty State Shangshu, the right Cheng Li Gang, Li Boji." On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, he came to reward the anti-Jin rebels. ”
is also an official, what Li Gang said makes people feel more comfortable to listen to, and it is obviously higher.
Gao Yang lowered his eyelids slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, outlining a faint smile. He whispered, "Isn't our victorious army rebellious? When did it become an anti-Jin rebel army again? ”
"There must have been a misunderstanding in this matter." Li Gang stroked his beard, and after snorting, he said with a smile: "During the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, the Chang Shengjun abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and it was already the strongest army in my Great Song Dynasty. has made great contributions to the important place of Yanyun in the country. ”
Gao Yang nodded slightly, suddenly raised his eyebrows, interrupted Li Gang's words in a loud voice, and said with a smile, "Do you want to say it next, it's a pity that Guo Yaoshi's traitorous thief has lost his conscience." Empty of the vast imperial grace, when the Jurchens went south, they did not do their best to be loyal to the country, but instead served the golden dog. What an ungrateful person without the slightest shame! Yes and no? (To be continued......)
