Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 The Beginning of the Struggle for Power and Profit 2
"Wang Xiu is not ordinary, you have to make good friends, maybe it will be of great benefit to you in the future." Cai Jing smiled with his beard and said gently: "Okay, it's fine here, you go to the inner courtyard to pay your respects."

Under Cai Tao's ferocious gaze, Cai Yi resigned obediently, took a long breath after gently closing the door, squeezed out an awkward smile at the old steward with a smile on his face, and went straight to Mrs. Tai's yard.

Cai Tao glanced at the back of his nephew going out, he didn't take Cai Jing's words seriously, he admitted that Wang Xiu's talent was rare in the world, but he still felt that Wang Xiu was only famous for his literary talent, and he had some biased means, which suited Zhao Ji's appetite , This is what the spring breeze is proud of.Dad admired Wang Xiu's talents so much that Cai's most promising grandson was tied to Wang Xiu, making him feel that he has always been a wily and calculating father, maybe he is too old and misjudged.

"My lord, my nephew sees that this matter is not so simple. Li Cong got the secret report from the East Palace. The prince seems to have changed his mind. He admired these glazed wares before, but he didn't know why he suddenly became angry." Cai Gengdao returned to the main story after Cai Yi left. , but seeing Cai Jing's eyes slightly closed, smiling and twirling his beard, he couldn't help but feel moved, secretly annoyed: It seems that I am reading the Book of Filial Piety in front of my master's door, and my lord has already figured out this matter.

He was uneasy, whether he could get his uncle's attention was the guarantee for him to return to the temple.Officer, this thing is getting more and more interesting. He has reached a turning point, but he wants to stay at home and be a filial son. Seeing that the mourning period is almost three years old, the next step is very important. It will directly affect the future of the ten years. He doesn't want to be placed in the The prison temple dawdles.

It is true that he is a child of the Cai family, but he is not as good as a few cousins. He is a son and he is a nephew. The difference is a thousand miles!Uncle's attitude is very important, if you want to find a big county guard, you have to please Cai Jing.

"Back then, Chen Bangguang maliciously provoked the prince and your lord, maybe the prince's suspicion has not been eliminated." Cai Tao knew about this. When Zhao Ji was canonized as the prince, Cai Jing was of course slick, and gave the prince a glass of beautiful jade privately, but was teased by Chen Bangguang for a while. The prince already had a bad impression of Cai Jing, so he smashed the precious gift and said that the foreign officials used pearls and jade to confuse the East Palace.

Of course, whether Chen Bangguang was fighting for favor or slandering Cai Jing to gain political capital, Cai Jing didn't spare him, so he beat this guy out of Beijing to guard the palace to play.

"These are not big things, it's the big thing with Fifth Brother." Cai Jing didn't care too much about the prince's reaction. Zhao Ji was not old and the dragon was healthy. For the Emperor of Longevity, it was his son Cai Kuang who had to deal with major life-long events.

"Emperor Maode is young and beautiful, and she crowns all the concubines in the inner palace. My lord can ask for Wuge to be a concubine." Cai Gengdao looked envious, he wished he was ten years younger, beauty, who doesn't like it!She is also the favorite sister of Zhao Guan's family.But he just thought about it, marrying the royal princess is tantamount to ruining his official career.

With a vicissitudes on his face, Cai Jing gently stroked his beard and said calmly: "I'm afraid the officials will also have a hard time making a choice."

"Why is this? Regardless of literary talent or appearance, the fifth brother is the dragon and the phoenix among people. When an official family recruits a son-in-law, the fifth brother should be the first choice among the first choices." Cai Sui and the fifth brother Cai Wei have a good relationship, and hope that the fifth brother will embrace a beautiful woman. .

Of course, he still has a small child in his heart. The eldest brother Cai You and their brothers are in the same situation, and they are almost powerless to fight against Cai You except relying on Cai Jing.

If Cai Wei can marry Emperor Maode and become Zhao Ji's son-in-law, with the favor of Emperor Maode, their brothers will gain the capital to fight against the boss.The most important thing is that once Cai Wei becomes the princess, he will lose his place of pastoral care and the way to enter the three provinces and six departments. Him, help him continue to rise to the top.

He couldn't wait to kill two birds with one stone.

"Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu." Cai Jing's eyes flickered, his face was uncertain.

Cai Gengdao immediately understood, his complexion was incomparably wonderful, and he lost his voice: "Could it be that the officials intend to recruit Wang Xiu as a good guest in the east bed? Impossible, impossible."

Cai Tao's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiu is nothing more than an ant, so he would dare. Impossible, absolutely impossible, the official family loves Maode Diji the most, what a virtue Wang Xiu is."

"There is nothing impossible in the world." Cai Jing glanced at his son coldly, and said in a flat tone: "You still don't want to criticize yourself, and don't bother about elder brother's opening up of Yanfu Palace. Let him mess around on his own."

"This." Cai Tao's face was flushed, and she seemed to have infinite indignation.

Under Cai Jing's calm appearance, there are actually turbulent waves. He is very optimistic about Wang Xiu, but his son's marriage back to Emperor Maode will further consolidate Zhao Ji's favor for him, but he has already made a choice. Wang Xiu is an ambitious person. How can an ambitious person love the princess?Taking a ten thousand step back, although this kid has unlimited potential, but he just entered his vision, if he really doesn't know the image, he has 1 ways to destroy the other party.

What makes him uneasy is that the second son Cai Tao actually wants to confront the eldest brother Cai You head-on. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Doesn't Cai Xian understand Cai You's position in Zhao Ji?Could it be that for Su Shi's poems, he was scolded by Zhao Ji's envoy and he still didn't learn his lesson?Don't you know Cai You's ruthless methods?
Cai Gengdao seemed to realize something, his eyes were frightened, and he was obviously afraid of Cai You's methods, but he still said cautiously: "My nephew will do it."

Cai Jing squinted his cloudy old eyes, did not answer or make any movements, and gently twirled his beard, as if he had entered meditation.

The old steward gently opened the door and came in, walked to Cai Jing, and said softly: "Young Master, Mr. Zhongli is here."

Cai Jing's eyes suddenly opened, Huo Di stood up, and said with a little excitement: "Please hurry up."

. .

Wang Xiu didn't know what happened to Yanfu Palace, Cai's Mansion, and the Crown Prince's Palace. He handed in the memorial, and the Jinshi celebration was over. Pin Cheng, Bo, or directly participate in the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials, there will be a fortune.

For two consecutive days, he always felt uneasy, and his eyelids twitched for a while, as if something was going to happen, but he couldn't be sure of it.For a while, I thought of Shangshui County, my family and Youqin Moyan, and then I thought of Zhu Lian. I haven't even figured out her identity yet. It's really wrong. I regret that I didn't ask clearly that day.

Inquire, how do you inquire?Is it possible to ask the whole world?This is also a bit too far-fetched.
