Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 269 Learned Ministry
In an ordinary residential house in the capital, two men in robes were whispering.

"Wuci, is the news you obtained reliable?" The man in the blue robe with the beard had a gloomy face and a hoarse voice.

"Mouke, the villain's news is absolutely reliable. It took him two years to get to know the official of the Central Secretariat of the Southern Dynasty. He revealed it after he was drunk. The villain is willing to offer his head as a guarantee." The big man in black smiled coquettishly. , at first glance, it is the next person.

The blue-robed man pondered for a while, before saying, "It seems that this Zhao Song official has a heart for me, otherwise Zhang Jue wouldn't have rebelled."

"I haven't heard of strengthening defenses along the border. That Zhao official's family is calculating the harvest all day long. How can they care about other affairs? Even their Xuanfu envoy has returned." The big man in black laughed.

"It's a pity that we couldn't buy high-ranking officials from the Southern Dynasty. These low-ranking officials provided too little military information. It's a pity that Wang Fu was dismissed and his steward could no longer provide us with information." The blue-robed man had a look of pity.

"Muke, the Zhao family's court has no secrets at all. As long as a villain uses more gold and silver, he can pry the servant's mouth open. Why buy high-ranking officials?"

"Wu Chai, you are a smart slave, I ask you if you have any news about Wang Xiu?" The blue-robed man said appreciatively.

"Wang Xiu?" The blue-robed man had a strange expression on his face, and he smacked his lips and said, "He is Zhao Ji's favorite, but to Jian Bo Jilie, he is an insignificant person." The implication is that Wang Xiu has nothing at all. A value worth exploring.

"Wu Chai, you only have Master Bojilie in your eyes, don't you have gentlemen? You are asked to find out about Wang Xiu's movements, but you push back and forth. Could it be that the fourth prince can't kill you?"

"Mou Ke calm down, the villain dare not do things for the fourth prince." The big man in black smiled sarcastically, and said with a bit of disdain: "Wang Xiu is very rich in venture capital, and he is a civil servant, but he is very good at fighting. But it’s far worse than the gentlemen and Mou Ke. Well, the recent troubles are all related to him, and I heard that he will go to Yanshan to take up a post."

The man in the blue robe raised his brows, and said with great interest, "Going to Yanshan?"

"Mouk, there is something that shouldn't be asked. Wang Xiu is just a small person, an insignificant person."

Before the big man in black finished speaking, the man in blue frowned and said sharply, "Wu Chai, don't ask more questions than you should, lest you lose your life."

"Yes, yes, the villain is talking too much."

"Well, it would be useful for you to inquire about it, so it's okay to tell you." The blue-robed man said meaningfully: "I don't know why the fourth prince Lang Jun is interested, but there is a strong general of the Han army under Lang Jun's seat. Wang Xiu is very concerned about it, can you, a slave, understand?"

The big man in black curled his lips and said with a smile: "The villain is just talking casually, and he will definitely inquire about it."

"It's best if you can understand, step up your spying on the Privy Council."

The eyes of the big man in black lit up, and he said excitedly: "It seems that the wolves are mainly using troops against the Southern Dynasty, and the villain is considered to have made it through."

"Do your own thing well, don't ask questions, and wait for the time to meet the army."

"The little man understands."

Wang Xiu did not get a satisfactory answer, and he also knew that he should not act too hastily. To be honest, apart from being unable to cope with the terminally ill chaos in the north, he had a lot of thoughts on the development of the country.

It is true in troubled times, but Liguojian is definitely an important base for the Song Dynasty. If the copper and iron of Liguojian can be developed, if it fails, he will serve as a parent official and lay a solid foundation for future strategic reserves. Basically, it is better to stay in Liguo than to save the hopeless defeat in vain.

Wen Xijun has already gone to the shop, he is alone at home meditating, Zhao Ji is vague, but also a little shaken, let's add fire!But where does the fire come from?It broke his brain.

The butler's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, there is a young lady outside asking to see you. She said she is an old acquaintance of your lord."

"Oh." Wang Xiu was very surprised. A woman came to him, and she was an old acquaintance. It couldn't be Qin Xianrong. He pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"Self-proclaimed Lord Qing."

"Qing Jun?" Wang Xiu hurriedly stood up, a name that was almost forgotten, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Please go to the study."

The butler was taken aback, and invited the young lady to come to the study. The adult's reputation for being romantic is not in vain, he smiled wretchedly.

When Qingjun appeared in front of Wang Xiu, he didn't know what to say, and said awkwardly: "Ordinarily, I should greet the female history outside the living room."

"The officials are polite, how dare the servants let the adults welcome them." After many years, Qingjun has also been honed in the uterus, and she is no longer a young girl.

"Please sit down."

The maid served tea and stepped back, Qing Jun said: "My lord, the servant girl can't wait too long, let's make a long story short."

"Please tell me." Wang Xiu didn't have too many thoughts, and tried not to think about it.

"The second sister considers the officials and hopes that the officials will accept the officials' kindness."

Wang Xiu raised her brows, and Zhu Lian's stunning beauty flashed in front of her eyes. Why should she consider for him the affection that has passed?Just when he was about to refuse, there was a flash of trembling in his heart, worrying that there was nothing he could do with the fire, so Zhu Lian came to his door.

If Zhao Huan can come forward through Zhu Lian and make another plan on his own, I'm afraid Zhao Ji will have to agree even if he doesn't want to. He said slowly: "I want to stay in Liguo. If the crown princess can make it happen, I will be grateful."

"Officer, the second sister has good intentions."

"I've made up my mind, Qingjun will go back and say yes." Wang Xiu said flatly.

Qing Jun got up and said: "The servant girl will leave."

"Lao Qingjun is here!" Wang Xiu got up and said with a smile.

After Qingjun left, Wang Xiu fell into deep thought again. The first time he met Zhu Lian, he was confused and disappointed, but the second time he was deeply disappointed. There should be no more greed.The thrill of tightrope walking was definitely not what he wanted. If he was not careful, everything would turn into flowing water. He could appreciate Zhu Lian's rationality and wisdom. He didn't want to have anything to do with it, but he still chose to use Zhu Lian.Without him, Zhu Lian is the best way to return to Li Guojian.

"I think that Cai Yi's qualifications are too low, and it is not appropriate to go out to know the big county, so it is more appropriate to give Zhongzhou a general judge."

The two governments discussed the vacancy of the local guardian. Li Bangyan glanced at Cai You. Cai Yi had already returned to the court, but Cai Jing and Cai You had the opposite wishes.Cai Jing wanted to keep Cai Yi in Shangshu, but Cai You wanted his son to stay in office, and pushed the eldest son to be the governor of the big county.

He thinks that Cai Jing's ideas are conservative, and he wants his grandson to be safe and sound, and gradually dismiss Zhao's official family. Cai You is too greedy, sacrificing Cai Yi's future in exchange for Cai Xing's official career. Dajun's food looks too ugly, so he simply pushed Cai Yi up.

Cai Yi just got close to his grandfather, and was abandoned by this fellow.He is a prodigal son, but he is more or less moral, and he despises Cai You's behavior. Forcing his father, killing his younger brother, and chasing his son, he is simply inferior to a beast.

Cai You was silent, he was still angry, the second son actually opposed him fiercely, thinking that he should hand over the office, and wished to drive this rebellious son out of the capital.

Who is Bai Shizhong?The loach in the old cunning head has something to do with the affairs of the family of today's first powerful officials. He doesn't want to get involved and offend the Cai family for no reason.

"In Aiqing's opinion, where should Cai Yi be?"

"I think that Chenzhou, Yangzhou and Jiangning Prefectures are all short of judges. The three counties are all famous towns. Your Majesty can choose one."

Zhao Ji nodded, and said calmly: "Cai Yitong can be sentenced to Yangzhou, but Cai Xing will stay in the capital."

It can be regarded as his painstaking efforts. Early on, Cai Zhiyou and Cai Yi father and son had a disagreement. Cai You refused to let Cai Yi come back in a rage. He thought that Cai You did a little too much. After all, he is his own son, so why should he be so cruel.However, by adopting a compromise method, letting Cai Yi go outside is to follow Cai You's wishes, and the promotion of Yangzhou and the favor of Cai Yi gave Cai Jing some face. After all, Wang Fu stepped down and the court situation was a bit unstable, so he was able to use it What Cai Jing meant.

Cai You knows how to watch his words. Now that the Zhao official family has been settled, he can’t open his mouth again. He is too harsh on Cai Yi. I’m afraid Zhao Ji also has a grudge against him. The matter of Wang Fu is still on his mind. The most beloved minister is dismissed for a small matter, so he has to be on his guard what!
Seeing the dust falling to the ground, Bai Shizhong said, "Wang Xiu's appointment and dismissal has been decided, but it has been put on hold due to criticism from Yushitai, but Yanshan's ministry cannot be empty for a long time." These words clearly showed Wang Xiu's favor.

Cai You's expression changed, and Shi Zhong stared at him. Compared with the unfilial son, Wang Xiu was even more disturbing to his nerves.

Zhao Ji smiled easily and said, "I really don't know what to do with this Wang Xiu."

Bai Shizhong is a slippery old fritter, if not for the deep-rooted Cai family and Cai Jing's scheming, Cai You would not be worthy of carrying his shoes.He drew inferences from Wang Xiu's suspended position, and awarded Wang Xiu the promotion of salt and tea.

He is not very willing to stand out, but he is not willing to be left behind when things are beneficial. He said with a smile: "With Wang Xiu's talent, your majesty should use his name to suppress him. I think Yushitai is just a rumor and impeachment, which is harmless."

Cai You sneered coldly, and said sharply: "Jiangning Bank is indeed suspected of competing with the people for profit. Even if Yushi is impeached by typhoon, the memorial to serve Yushi must not be taken lightly. Besides, Wang Zhige himself is willing to return to Liguo to guard the land for the emperor in order to avoid suspicion. , such good intentions, the two governments should be perfect."

The corner of Bai Shizhong's mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded Cai You for turning his face faster than turning a book. He obviously recommended Wang Xiu's Yanshanfu Road, but it changed in a blink of an eye. It really makes people speechless.

Li Bangyan looked at the toothache, but he didn't want to get entangled. In all fairness, he admired Wang Xiu more, but it was also based on planning Wang Fu. Wang Fu collapsed suddenly, and they had no common interests. , but try our best to maintain the fire.

Zhao Ji was very hesitant about Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu described the prospect of benefiting the country to him, which made his heart flutter, but he still wanted Wang Xiu to go to Yanshanfu Road. I'm afraid it's not fair.
