"Bah, this is clearly used to deceive the Holy Heart. If you are old and do not die, you are a thief!" Tong Guan cursed bitterly. It turns out that although Cai Jing has withdrawn from the core of power, he still has the shelf of compiling history books and can continue to stay. In Bianliang, Tokyo. There is a possibility of recurrence at any time. Thinking of this old man's vicious methods towards political opponents in the past, even Tong Guan couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. He jumped up from the couch and paced back and forth in the house with bare feet. After several laps, the maid did not dare to step forward and help him put on his shoes. Tong Guan walked around the room several times, but couldn't think of any solution. When he saw the subordinate standing in front of him like a stick, he waved his sleeves angrily: "What are you doing standing here, you useless thing!" The subordinate hurriedly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty, and Tong Guan was the only one left in the room. He sat down on the soft couch, thinking about it but without any clue. He knew in his heart that no matter how prosperous he was now, if he lost his power, not to mention enjoying wealth and wealth, his life and fortune might not be saved. Those old party ministers who were kicked to Yuanhe Military State were all about to He got sick and died? Tong Guan didn't believe it. "This campaign of conquering swallows must not stop, it cannot stop!" Tong Guan suddenly felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip. He suddenly threw the teacup to the ground and cursed. : "Why don't we even have a cup of hot tea? Are all the people in our house dead?" The two maids waiting outside the door rushed in and fell to the ground in panic, kowtowing and begging for mercy. Tong Guan was disgusted. He looked at the two faces that were usually very pretty and pleasant, but now he felt particularly disgusting, and he waved his hand impatiently. He said to the housekeeper outside the door: "I don't know how you trained this useless thing, so you sent it to a certain house!" "Master, please have mercy! Master, please have mercy!" Those two maids He was immediately dragged out by the strong woman. Tong Guanhun didn't care, so he took a sip of the hot tea brought by the housekeeper and said: "Go and guard Zhao Longtu's house. As soon as he comes back, let him come to my place. Do you understand?" "I understand!" After the housekeeper left, Tong Guan lay down on the couch again, but for some reason, the usually soft and comfortable couch seemed to be covered with thorns. He tossed and turned all the time feeling uncomfortable. The two new maids didn't dare to say anything. They just stood aside and trembled, fearing that they might offend their master and cause big trouble. "Master. Master!" The butler's voice came from outside. Tong Guan sat up. He shouted: "What's the matter?" "Someone from Yanjing has come, saying that he has something urgent and wants to see the Grand Master!" "Yanjing? Please invite him to the study quickly!" Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly stood up and shouted to the maids on both sides: "It's better to change someone's clothes!" In the study, green smoke flowed out from the mouth of the gilt incense burner, setting off a picture of "Horse Washing" on the wall. Extraordinarily quiet. Zhishan was sitting on a low stool. His cheeks had lost a lot of weight, and his cheekbones on both sides were more prominent, but his eyes were still bright and bright. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he quickly stood up, bowed to Tong Guan at the door and said, "The poor monk pays homage to Commander Xuan!" " Zen Master, please get up, Zen Master, please get up!" Tong Guan's face was filled with confusion. With a full smile, he could not see the anger just now. He took a step forward, gave Zhishan a virtual support, and said with a smile: "Zen master is a stranger, so there is no need to be so polite in private. You come from Yanjing What's going on with the Liao army when they come back? "In the end, he couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart and spoke out. "It is the Liao army that has made a move!" Zhishan replied: "Deputy Envoy Zhou learned from Li Chuwen that Xiao Qian, the commander of the eastern route of Liao, had gone to the states in front of and behind the mountains to recruit troops from the Xi tribe. The hearts of the Han officials were fluctuating. The resentment army is at both ends, and Yanjing is empty. It is a good time to use troops! " "What about General Yelu Yanxi's 100,000 cavalry going south to observe Xiongzhou? " "This is just a treacherous plan of the Liao people. What about Xiao? Qian wanted to recruit his own soldiers to suppress the resentful army, but he was also afraid that when he left Youzhou, the Han officials in the city would collude with the resentful army outside the city to cause trouble, so he spread such rumors to delay time! " " Is this true? " " Qian Zhen It's true, Prime Minister! If Yelu Yanxi really leads one hundred thousand horses to go south, the first thing he has to deal with is not the Song Dynasty, but the rebellious officials and traitors in Yanjing City. How dare Xiao Qian leave his sister in the city and go out to recruit troops? He was even more panic-stricken. How could he stay in the city?" Zhishan lowered his voice and said, "Furthermore, Vice Envoy Zhou has sent capable personnel to the northwest to inquire about the movements of the army. There will be accurate news soon!" "What the Zen Master said is true! Yes!" Regarding Zhishan's explanation, Tong Guan nodded with satisfaction, obviously he was willing to believe the other party's reasons. He looked at Zhishan's expression and suddenly asked: "The Zen master has been on the road so hard that he must not have eaten any vegetarian food yet. Who's here?" Tong Guan said loudly to the butler: "Go tell me what the butler rewarded me last time." "Bring the cheesecake!" "Xuanxiang, how can this be done?" Zhishan stood up and declined. ? ??How to prevent it? Tong Guan smiled and said: "This cheese cake is originally a reward from the government for my military merits. Zen Master, you have made great contributions to the country. Isn't it right to share this cheese cake with me?" "After a moment, the butler took out a very ornately decorated silver box and placed it in front of the two of them. Tong Guan casually opened the silver box, took out a silver knife and divided the cheesecake in the box into several pieces, and took one piece for himself. , placed the silver knife in front of Zhishan, and said with a smile: "Please! " Tong Guan smiled and watched Zhishan eating a piece of cheese cake, and suddenly asked: "Zen Master, do you have a place to rest in Beijing? " "The poor monk is hanging up orders at the Daxiangguo Temple -" "Zen Master, this matter is very important, so you can rest in my house for two days, and then bring me a letter to Deputy Envoy Zhou! " " Poor monk, obey your orders! "Zhishan hurriedly stood up and saluted. "I have some important things to deal with, Zen Master." Tong Guan made two gestures for the other party to sit down, turned around and went out. He passed through the two courtyards and suddenly stopped. , said in a deep voice: "You should watch over this monk carefully. Give him whatever he wants during these few days in the house, but he is not allowed to step out of this courtyard. If even the slightest bit of news is leaked -" At this point, Tong Guan turned around, his face full of murderous intent, "I understand! "The housekeeper nodded quickly: "I will detain all the people who have seen this monk together until he leaves. I will definitely not let any news leak out! " "That's good! Tong Guan suddenly laughed: "Cai Yuanchang, Cai Yuanchang!" A certain family will let you be proud for a few days, and then they will smash you to pieces, and you will never be reincarnated! " Cai Mansion. This powerful prime minister, who was called the leader of the "six thieves" by Tai student Chen Dong during Jingkang, has left the core of power at this time, but he still retains a lot of empty titles and can stay in the capital to serve as a minister. When invited to court, he can be called the "gongxiang"; in court meetings, he can still sit in the chief position, as if he is the leader of a hundred officials, but he can no longer enter the core political hall of power, even " The treatment of "coming to the capital hall once every three days to serve" is no longer available. For Cai Jing, gaining power and grasping power are almost as natural as eating and breathing. Depriving him of power is simply equivalent to denying him food. This is absolutely unacceptable. Fortunately. He has developed enough patience during his decades of official career. He knows very well that the key to whether he can succeed in the fourth degree lies in the "holy family", and who else knows better than him the frivolous character of today's holy kings? So he decided to adopt a roundabout strategy to achieve his goal: first, he must always keep himself within the official's sight, so that when the official wants to "change his horse", he can think of himself; secondly, he must secretly ask for help. The officials pointed out that the policy of Tong Guan and Wang Fu, who are now on the stage, to unite the Jin Dynasty and conquer the Liao Dynasty is wrong. In this way, they can justifiably change their policy after they come to power. Of course, this kind of expression cannot be made by the officials because it is directed at themselves. Feeling. Cai Jing firmly believes that in this struggle, the final winner must be himself, and he will only be himself. In the home of his favorite minister, Zhao Ji dressed up very casually, wearing a cyan Taoist robe and a white jade hairpin, and he believed in Taoism. He has been dressing up as a Taoist priest more and more in his middle age. For him who has mastered the most prosperous empire in the world, the only thing that matters is to maintain this status as long as possible and enjoy all the laborious military affairs. , Zhao Ji preferred to leave it to the ministers he trusted. When he saw Cai Jing's eyes dull and seemed to be distracted, he smiled and said: "Grand Master, it's getting late. You are old. You should rest early." Bar! " Zhao Ji's words were like a needle pricking Cai Jing. He quickly cheered up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am as stubborn as ever, and I haven't fainted yet! " "oh? Grand Master, don¡¯t try to show off your strength! " Zhao Ji smiled. "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can give it a try! "Cai Jing laughed. "A try? Cai Jing's answer immediately touched Zhao Ji's fun-loving nature, and he smiled and said, "How to try this?" " Cai Jing was secretly happy in his heart and said with a smile: "I am reading Huaisu's "Thousand-Character Essay" at this time. If there is even one dangling step, I will lose! " Hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up. The Huaisu whom Cai Jing mentioned was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He was famous for his cursive script. "The Thousand Character Essay" is his famous work. Zhao Ji's calligraphy was copied from Huaisu. He knew that copying it would be very labor-intensive. Cai Jing's suggestion immediately aroused his interest as a calligraphy artist. "Okay, I haven't seen Cai Aiqing's wonderful pen for a long time. Come here, bring me some pen and ink!" " Soon the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready. Cai Jing walked to the desk and after a long time suddenly picked up the pen and started writing on the paper. "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are waxing, the stars are in the column, the cold is coming, the summer is coming, the autumn is harvesting, the winter is hiding, the leap is left, the year is old, Lu Lu Tune up the sun, make the clouds rise, turn the rain and dew into frost, turn gold into beautiful water, and the jade comes out of Kungang, the sword number is huge, and the pearl is called night light -" Following Zhao Ji's chanting, lines of text jumped out on the paper. It is different from Huaisu's "Thousand-Character Essay" , Cai Jing?It was in regular script, with the fonts opening and closing, and the brushwork showing its charm in its energy. Zhao Ji, who was standing aside, couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
