In the third year of Chengtian, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, three days had passed since the court meeting. ¡ù%, During this period, Zhao Bin was deposed from the position of crown prince, and King Zhao Qing of Qi conferred the crown prince into the East Palace. After this change of crown prince, Chai Shuxia truly became the powerful regent, far beyond what he and Jiang Fei could compare to when they served as assistant ministers. In order to celebrate the whole country, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials jointly formulated the matter of recruiting scholars for Enke. Enke is an additional examination that is specially held during court celebrations in addition to the ordinary regular examinations. "Such a special case was originally implemented only after the emperor issued an order, but now that the emperor is seriously ill and ignores government affairs, all court affairs are decided by Chai Shuxia. However, Enke's admission system still follows the subjects of Xiaozong's dynasty, which is obviously contrary to the current national policy of Ye Yu's dynasty. Therefore, after this news was conveyed to various state capitals, it immediately aroused a verbal dispute between the old and new factions of literati. Subsequently, Kong Dexian reciprocated the favor, and a wave of admiration for the King of Jin swept across the capital. Most of the scholars and scholars of the old school were powerful officials. They were either world-famous literary scholars or wealthy scholars with high status. Under the instigation of Kong Dexian, these people used their absolute advantage to suppress the newly ignited new flames. During this period, Chai Shuxia took advantage of his authority to issue successive transfer orders in the name of the Privy Council. The first thing to target was the frequent replacement of generals in Wu Ting's army during the Northern Expedition. Chai Shuxia knew very well that whether he could achieve great things, the Northern Expedition army in Wu Ting's hands was a crucial part, so he had to infiltrate this elite division of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, he will also try his best to bring Wu Ting, Yu Hangkun, Gu Xifeng and others into his camp. This idea was extremely difficult in the past, but it is not impossible now! "Compared to the forced deployment in the Northern Expedition, Chai Shuxia's methods in dealing with the Southern Expedition seemed much gentler! He knew very well that Li Dayin, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army, was Ye Yu's life-and-death brother, and whether it was before or now, the tens of thousands of troops under Li Dayin's command could be said to be Ye Yu's personal army. So he doesn¡¯t expect to win over Li Dayin, he just hopes that things won¡¯t be ruined at the critical moment. On more than one occasion, Chai Shuxia wanted to use his authority to directly remove Li Dayin from his military post, so that there would be no hidden dangers to worry about. But he can¡¯t do this because the time is not yet ripe! Everything is going smoothly, so Chai Shuxia is in a good mood recently. In the quiet courtyard of Prince Jin's Mansion, a few plum blossoms are stained with white snow, and the cold wind is fragrant. The four palace guards outside the wing stood motionless with solemn expressions. "Your Majesty!" When the four guards saw that the person coming was King Jin, they all saluted solemnly. Chai Shuxia said nothing, but looked at the closed door and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. After everyone retreated, Chai Shuxia then spoke to the room: "Yanying, I heard that you have lost your appetite recently. Are you feeling unwell? You" "Father is really thoughtful. He still remembers that he has me as his son!" Without waiting for Chai Shuxia, After finishing speaking, Chai Yanying's displeased voice came out coldly in the room. Chai Yanying¡¯s words made Chai Shuxia, a father, very angry. But after a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly: "Are you and me, father and son, going to be like this for the rest of our lives?" "What my father did" Chai Yanying in the room hesitated, and then changed his words, " Yanying, I'm speechless!" "Huh! I don't know what that kid has taught you in the past few years, but you are so devoted to him!" Chai Shuxia felt a sense of indifference when he mentioned this matter. The fire rises. "If you have good moral principles, you will get many help, but if you have bad moral principles, you will get few help!" After hearing this, Chai Shuxia smiled coldly: "It is a good saying that if you have good moral principles, you will get many help, but if you have bad moral principles, you will have few help. The ancestors of the Zhao family repaid their kindness with vengeance, bullying orphans and widowed mothers and seizing the throne. Is this the Zhao family's righteous act? " "Since the Zhao family has such a precedent and has been praised by history books as a great achievement, why can't my father, a descendant of the Chai family, repeat the scene of the past? How talented my ancestors of the Chai family were. If he hadn't died young, when would it be his turn? Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against Chen Qiao and rebelled? " Chai Shuxia said about Ang Qi, "The solid foundation laid by my ancestors of the Chai family can surely sweep the world, but what did the two Zhao Kuangyin brothers do in their lifetime? Speaking of Chai Rong, the ancestor of the Chai family, Chai Shuxia looked proud. Although Chai Rong reigned for six years, he conquered the south and the north, defeated Shu in the west, captured the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie, and then went south to destroy the Southern Tang, taking all fourteen states in Jiangbei and Huainan, and then went north to Defeated Khitan and conquered two states and three passes. So Uncle Chai?Although such slander contains personal emotions, it is also an objective fact. Having such a profound foundation as a foundation, but unable to create a prosperous dynasty, this is really a criticism. Speaking of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, he also seized power in a coup, but he created the Sui Dynasty forcefully! Compared to Chai Shuxia's anger, Chai Yanying in the room was calm: "Now, under the leadership of His Majesty, the world has reached an unprecedented prosperity, father, why do you insist on breaking it?" "The imperial power belongs to the Chai family, as my father. It¡¯s just to get back my own things, otherwise what are these years for?¡± ¡°Yes, these yearsboth my aunt and I are just your pawns!¡± Chai Yanying in the room couldn¡¯t help but feel like saying that at the end. He smiled bitterly, and there seemed to be some stories hidden in his slightly narrowed eyes. Chai Shuxia did not deny it, but said with hatred: "It's just that my father has calculated everything, but I didn't count that I, my nephew, can be used by you willingly, and now I have to compete with my father!" "Father, it's too late to stop before a big mistake is made" "That's enough! You're useless! When I figure it out, I'll let you go!" Chai Shuxia originally wanted to ease the conflict between father and son today, but he never thought This is the result. After saying that, he turned around angrily and planned to leave. But at the moment before leaving, Chai Shuxia still stopped: "You have to remember that your surname is Chai and not Zhao. This is a fact that can never be changed!" The footsteps became farther and farther away, and in the end only silence was left. The sound of falling snow. Chai Yanying in the room stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the plum blossoms in the garden on a snowy night, and said bitterly to herself: "Yes, it is a fact that cannot be changed. But father, have you ever thought about it, just because your surname is Chai, Will it lead to the annihilation of the Chai family in the future? " Chai Yanying slowly took out something from his sleeve, and it glowed red like blood under the candlelight. It was a strange piece of paper, with a mysterious totem engraved on the blood-red background, which looked like a lotus burning with fire, or a dragon soaring through the sky. "When Ce Ying came out, the situation was turbulent. Now when Ce Ying's order came out again, there was another bloody storm" Chai Yanying was very familiar with this piece of writing. This was already the second time he had seen it. And the first time was the fall of Xixia! The snow is still falling, and the palace is as quiet as a sleeping child. And the peaceful imperial capital has opened a new chapter because of this abundant winter snow.
