Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cai Jing was particularly regretful. He had been ill recently, and the emperor, considering that he was old and lacked energy, allowed him to visit him only once every three days.  However, he felt that there was a danger of staying away from the court, so in August he struggled to submit a petition to the court and went to the palace every day to discuss matters.  If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been in such a hurry.  Cai Jing never imagined that Wang Fu would be in such a hurry. Wang Chong just submitted a letter to the Yintai Department yesterday, and today Wang Fu brought it to the Chongzheng Hall to discuss the matter. He also pretended that the discussion must be completed today, which caught him off guard.  Zhao Ji didn¡¯t seem to see the key points of this matter clearly. He only regarded it as a trivial matter and didn¡¯t take it seriously. As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, he made a decision to start work, but Cai Jing saw the key points at a glance.  This was a knife, a knife stabbed at his waist from behind. He quickly spoke to stop it.  Cai Jing knew exactly what Wang Fu was trying to do with this matter. The court had never done what Wang Chong said in the letter. Wang Fu would have to find another team next.  I think back then, he used the Council of Ministers to recruit his comrades and used the Council of Ministers as a ladder. Not only did he win the title of independent prime minister, but a large number of his close associates also joined the court, forming his network of authority.  Even though he was dismissed as prime minister twice, he could still influence government affairs and even deal with enemies such as Chen Guan.  Wang Fu has set up a team to take charge of military and political affairs. Today, he only handles affairs in the southwest. Tomorrow, when he is in power, he will be able to handle affairs in the world.  This young man, who is even more handsome than when he was young, is following in his own footsteps and learning his own methods in style.  The threat was too great, and Cai Jing did not dare to let his son Cai You, and his confidants Xue Ang, Deng Xunwu and others go into battle. This matter was an important military and national matter, and they lacked knowledge and could easily be taken advantage of.  Pulling himself together, he first refuted Wang Chong's petition from the overall perspective.  The country is short of money and the southwest has copper, but the situation in the southwest is complicated.  To disrupt the southwest for the sake of copper is to make a small loss.  The southwest has been restrained for a long time, and there are occasional minor troubles, but never major harm. The country is inherently stable, so why should it be strengthened again?  If you act carelessly and cause a big mess, the country will be attacked from three sides, and the consequences will be disastrous.  The envoy of Dali Kingdom is in Bianliang.  This is a strong proof of the stability of the Southwest.  These reasons are very sufficient, Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, and Zheng Juzhong had nothing to say.  But he didn¡¯t expect that Wang Fu opened a book, which was the "Southwestern Yi Zhi" attached to Wang Chong's post, and did not directly refute Cai Jing's words.  Instead, list numbers one by one.  The caves, population, territory, and especially the area of ??arable land made the courtiers present secretly gasp.  "After the Bo rebellion in Luzhou was pacified, Xingwen Village alone opened 40,000 to 50,000 acres of farmland and recruited 2,000 Han households, which was enough to establish a county. If the imperial court rebuilt counties in the southwest and restored the rule of the Han and Tang Dynasties, how many Han people could be accommodated?  At least it's the same road. Nowadays, there are many small towns and the land is narrow and dense Copper is just one of the symptoms." Wang Fu explained disdainfully, like an expert who knows the affairs of the southwest, "The person who gave the advice only saw copper.  What I saw was Huang Song¡¯s century-old plan.¡± Zhao Ji raised his slender eyebrows, obviously interested.  First, the idea of ??restoring the rule of Han and Tang Dynasties is quite tempting, and second, the problem of Dingkou breeding is indeed a long-term problem that has plagued the court.  When Zhang Dun opened Jinghu Lake, it was quite controversial. But looking back today, I have to praise him for broadening the livelihood of the Emperor and Song Dynasty.  Cai Jing knew what Wang Chongzha wrote, but he didn't pay much attention to it because there were so many reasons why it was not feasible.  But he didn't expect that the book attached to Zha Zi would have such weight, allowing Wang Fu to use it to his fullest extent, elevating the Southwest Affairs to the level of determining the emperor's centenary plan of the Song Dynasty.  Cai Jing was naturally not one to give up easily. He knew that the emperor was very happy with his achievements, and this argument was in line with the emperor's wishes. Therefore, he did not argue with Wang Fu about a century-old plan, but turned the topic to the implementation level.  In short, there are many barbarians in the southwest, and re-establishing counties and counties will mean more than one war, and it will be a quagmire that will never reach the bottom.  Wang Fu opened the book and gave another explanation, explaining the situation of the various ethnic groups in the southwestern Yi and even the Dadongtun. He even explained clearly the origins and blood inheritance of Luo Shi Gui Kingdom, Luo Dian Kingdom and Dali Kingdom. Finally,  He concluded: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. Now that we know it well, we can naturally make a target. Moreover, the prime minister was also wrong. Reopening counties in the southwest is not a day's work, nor does it require a single battle.  There may not even be a war. The three strategies mentioned by Wang Chong, with Quetong as the main line, are a good strategy to connect the southwest and calm the barbarians. " I first gave my own interpretation of Wang Chong's letter, and then circled back.  Turning to the strategies proposed by Wang Chong, in this way, although the things were the same, Wang Fu's understanding of southwestern affairs was at a higher level than Wang Chong's.  Based on his words, other people in the palace became more convinced that Wang Chong was indeed acting on Wang Fu¡¯s orders!  Wang Fu had never been exposed to affairs in the southwest and was not easy to talk to. Wang Chong was an official who personally handled the affairs of the Bo people, so it was only right that he came forward to offer advice.  No wonder Wang Fu supported Wang Chong before, and did not hesitate to openly fall out with Cai Jing because of this. It turned out that he had planned it for a long time.  Wang Fu wins people Many people are like thisHe lamented that when Wang Shao published "Pingrong Policy", he explained Western affairs thoroughly and listed feasible strategies.  Now Wang Chong went to Southwest Yi Ce. Although, as Wang Fu said, his knowledge was low and he only focused on copper, the attached book has the largest number of words in the book, and the information is detailed and valuable.  Higher than advice.  Without this book, Wang Fu would not have been able to give a more valuable and persuasive reason.  Cai Jing looked at the ridiculously thick book in Wang Fu's hand, his eyes twitching. He regretted this.  If I could delay it for two more days and read this book carefully, I wouldn't be so passive.  "Your Majesty, this matter is of great concern and should be discussed in a long-term manner by Zhongshu." Cai Jing did not want to be passive. Not only did he resort to procrastination, but he also wanted to seize the right to speak on this matter.  Even if the emperor had intentions, as long as he took the matter into his own hands, Wang Fu could only watch.  Anyway, Wang Fu has not yet entered the two governments, and has little say in national policy at this level. This matter involves a wide range of things, and it cannot be arranged with a piece of imperial pen.  Before Zhao Ji could express his position, Wang Fu retorted, but Zheng Juzhong jumped out: "Since the prime minister's words can be discussed, why not discuss the outline now. Even though it is a century-old plan, we still have to seize the day" When speaking, Zheng  Zhongzhong also glanced at Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji suddenly understood and nodded: "What Zheng Qing said makes sense. If you can do it, we can discuss how to proceed." And Zheng Juzhong Cai Jing felt cold in his heart.  It seems that Wang Fu is not the only one who is worried. Zheng Juzhong entered the palace yesterday and it is time to discuss the matter with the emperor first.  "Zheng Juzhong, one, Wang Fu, the other, ungrateful people" Cai Jing felt a sense of sadness in his heart. These two people had supported each other and were members of the same party.  When he returned to the throne for the second time, Zheng Juzhong, who was a Hanlin scholar at the time, helped a lot.  When he returned to power for the third time, Wang Fu first corrected his position and attacked Cai Jing's archenemy Zhang Shangying.  Then he turned to attack another prime minister, He Zhizhong, and helped Cai Jing become independent prime minister again.  They were kind to him, and he consciously gave them generous rewards. However, people are always greedy, and he did not meet the requirements of Zheng Juzhong in charge of the Privy Council.  The two were at odds with each other, and Wang Fu also had a grudge against Zheng Juzhong because of his friendship with him. Later, he asked Wang Fu to judge household affairs, with the intention of cheating Wang Fu. This hatred could no longer be resolved.  There was silence in the palace. Seeing Cai Jing silently watching Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu, many people could taste the taste in his eyes.  Including Huang Jingchen, the old eunuch beside Zhao Ji.  ¡°Maybe he resents the ingratitude of these two people Huang Jingchen failed in the power struggle and was sent back to prison. Unlike Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, who can control a lot of real affairs.  Already disappointed, he figured out Cai Jing's thoughts at this moment.  "Speaking of ingratitude, is there any minister in the world who is more suitable for these four words?"  Wang Anshi and Sima Guangruo came back to life.  The first one to run is you.  Looking at Cai Jing¡¯s gloomy look at this time, Huang Jingchen was not the only one.  Many people in the palace were gloating about the misfortune.  And Cai Jing not only knew this in his heart, but also saw it in his eyes.  After glancing around at the ministers in the palace, Cai Jing felt even more chilled.  The son only knows how to invite favors, Xue Ang only knows how to flatter, Deng Xunwu is depressed, and Yu Shen, who was originally very useful, just fell ill again.  If Wu Juhou, who was proficient in financial planning, was still there, Wang Fu would not be able to compile numbers. Unfortunately, Wu Juhou would have died long ago.  Is this really unstoppable?  If the emperor really wanted to resign, Cai Jing would admit it, but it seems that the emperor just wants to give Wang Fu another hand. Zheng Juzhong is also happy to see it happen, and Cai Jing is not willing to give in.  As he was thinking rapidly, he saw Cai You, who was in the second half of the queue, winking at him and rolling his eyes?  What's the meaning?  Oh Cai Jing understood. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to himself, it doesn't matter, this face is already worthless anyway.  The coughing sound got louder and louder, as if he was about to cough out his lungs. Then Cai Jing closed his eyes and slid to the ground, causing an uproar in the court.  Zhao Ji said in a panic: "Quick! Support the Grand Master quickly! Call the Imperial Doctor!" Grand Master Cai, are you pretending too much?  This is the imperial court, why do you think you're just freeloading in a restaurant?  Huang Jingchen almost laughed angrily. This was the first time he saw the prime minister using such a trick, just to delay this matter that was obviously not good for him.  Wang Fu went out to discuss matters. He was very close to Cai Jing, who was sitting in front of the imperial court. He quickly supported Cai Jing and said sadly: "The prime minister is ill, but he still insists on going to court and is dedicated to the country. Wang Fu is really  I feel guilty!" He turned to Zhao Ji and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the minister should take good care of himself for a while. I will let the ministers discuss these matters and ask the minister to correct them." "There is something even more shameless.  .  Huang Jingchen almost applauded, Cai Jing pretended to be ill, and Wang Fu immediately seized power. These two were really like masters and disciples.  Thinking back on the past, Huang Jingchen also felt a sense of sadness.  ThreeA few years ago, Huang Jingchen was still a young man from the Huang family. He was fortunate enough to serve Emperor Shenzong. Even if the ministers of that era fought with knives and nooses behind their backs, there was still harmony in the Chongzheng Palace.  Occasionally there would be a noise, and the censor would immediately jump out and scold him for being disrespectful. How could he be as vulgar as he is now?  Like a child snatching something, without even giving up any face. The people in this palace are really inferior to each other.  Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the emperor who had a worried look on his face, but his eyes were flickering, and the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, as if he was sneering. Huang Jingchen quickly slapped himself in his heart, correcting his thoughts, excluding the person on the dragon throne Wang  Fu's words were almost whispered into Cai Jing's ears. Cai Jing immediately opened his eyes, breathed heavily for a while, waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, and sat up again shakily.  "I have nothing to do, old minister. Your Majesty has expressed his opinion, let's start the discussion now. If I don't change my opinion, we should discuss it in the long term. It is better to be slow for three years than to take one day."  , the wrong path will lead nowhere, this matter can only be returned to the right track.  This is where the noise heard outside the palace came from.  However, Cai Jing stopped talking at this time, and Cai You, Deng Xunwu, Xue Ang and others went to fight instead.  Entering the stage of fighting for power, his son and confidants are good at this.  ps:
