…

When Zhao Ji, Wang Fu and others learned that Luomeitang had already been empty, how could they still not know that what Tong Guan had collected was probably true?

Zhao Ji immediately invited Wang Fu, Zheng Juzhong, Li Bangyan and Bai Shi to discuss countermeasures.

Zhao Ji also called Cai Jing and threw Tong Guan’s memorial to Cai Jing to read.

Cai Jing picked up the memorial tremblingly and looked at it, his eyes suddenly became gloomy and unstable - he could not understand why Cai, who had a bright future, took this step?

Is it for women?

Although Cai Jing knows that Cai is still a little good at women, in Cai Jing's opinion, this is human nature. How many real men in the world are not good at women?

Therefore, in Cai Jing's opinion, this is not enough to make Cai still make such a big mistake.

Moreover, from the current situation, it is still impossible to determine whether Cai still captured Yelu Yanxi first or took his family away first. In other words, it is still impossible to determine that Cai still had a temporary idea or had planned for a long time.

Cai Jing had such rich experience in political struggles. He immediately made a choice and said: "Although Cai's child has been here for three years, he spent most of his time outside fighting. He was old and lacked energy, so he didn't have much contact with him. He neglected his discipline and was guilty of his crimes. He asked the officials to punish him."

Wang Fu glanced at Cai Jing and said to himself: "The old fox is decisive enough, but do you think you can get rid of the relationship in this way?"

really!

Zhao Ji said angrily: "I neglected to discipline? If I don't raise my father, my father died long ago. As your uncle, you didn't teach him well, that's your fault!"

Zhao Ji said again: "How about I take you to the Cai family? How can your Cai family repay me like this? The treacherous one!"

Cai Jing said: "When I go back, I will expel Cai Bian's branch from the genealogy, and I will never admit that their branch is from our Xianyou Cai family."

Cai Jing knew that this was not enough to eliminate Zhao Ji's resentment towards him. His tone changed, and he said, "I am now far away from the court and do not care about the world. I am no different from an ordinary old man. I really cannot punish this nephew. I am willing to accept the punishment from the official."

After hearing Cai Jing say this, Zhao Ji thinks that too. Cai Jing is almost eighty and has been retiring for almost two years. How can he control Cai Shen, a powerful figure?

In addition, Cai Jing is Zhao Fujin's father-in-law no matter what, and he is in-laws with Zhao Ji.

In addition, Cai Jing is still his friend, the father of his important minister Cai You.

So, after getting a little angry, Zhao Ji waved his hand at Cai Jing in annoyance and asked Cai Jing to stand aside.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji looked at Wang Fu and others and asked, "Tell me, what should I do? Cai is still good at capturing, and is good at releasing the Liao lord and occupying the daughter of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom?"

Li Bangyan is now a banner-carrying figure of the prince party, while Cai and Prince Zhao Huan are in a bridge again. At this time, we must stand up and do some remedies.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Bangyan took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, Cai is still leading the army alone, and it is also a critical moment to recover Yan Yun. Shouldn't you... Treat Cai Han carefully, the least you can't force him to the Khitan side and increase the strength of the Khitans..."

As soon as Li Bangyan said this, Zhao Ji and many people's expressions became solemn.

You should know that if the front line is newly defeated. If Cai still turns to Liao under this situation, it will not only be impossible to recover Yan Yun. It is possible that the two sides may unite and go south together.

In that case, the Song Dynasty may be in danger.

Seeing that Zhao Ji and others realized the problem, Li Bangyan said again: "In fact, whether it is good at capturing, releasing the Liao lord, or occupying the daughter of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, you can wait for the future to make a decision. The most urgent task now is how to minimize the impact of this matter on our Song Dynasty."

Li Bangyan's meaning is very simple, that is, don't make a fuss, don't worry, don't force Cai Jian first, so as not to force Cai Jian to go to extremes, which will harm the interests of the Song Dynasty. As for Cai Jian, you can wait until they are ready before slowly conspiring Cai Jian.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Ji said, "I believe that Cai Aiqing may have been improperly dealing with it for a while, and he is obsessed with it, not really having other thoughts..."

At this moment, the eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, asked for a meeting, and he said that there was something important to report."

Zhao Ji, who was interrupted, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Wang Shiyong?"

The eunuch said: "Mr. Wang said that there is a man who claims to be the manager of the Champion Hou who has important matters to report to His Majesty in person."

The emperor is no one who can ask for a visit?

Wang Shiyong could not have known about this kind of thing.

Therefore, Zhao Ji dared to conclude that what he wanted to report to the so-called Cai Shen's affairs must be quite a bit, at least it made Wang Shiyong feel that it was necessary to bring him to meet the emperor.

Combined with the known news about Cai Shen.

Zhao Ji initially inferred that the so-called Cai Shen's manager may be here to report that Cai Shen wanted to be independent.

Not only Zhao Ji speculated so, but also Wang Fu and others.

Wang Fu said, "Your Majesty may as well meet this person first, know yourself and your enemy, so that you can find a suitable way to deal with it."

Zhao Ji felt that Wang Fu was right, so he asked Wang Shiyong to bring him.

Soon, Wang Shiyong brought one person.

After Wang Shiyong arrived, he reported, "I asked Your Majesty that this person came to Kaifeng Prefecture to ring drums and tell the secrets. After hearing this, I felt that this matter was extremely serious and involved important officials in the court, so I dare not accept it, so I brought this person and asked Your Majesty to seize it."

As soon as Wang Shiyong finished speaking, everyone looked at the person kneeling beside him.

This man was very excited. He said just right: "Liar Cai Quan, I have met Your Majesty."

Before Zhao Ji could say anything, Cai Jing, who was standing beside him, said in surprise: "Cai Quan?"

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and asked, "The Grand Master knows this person?"

Cai Jing reported: "He was indeed Cai's manager, but he seemed to be driven back to Xianyou's hometown by Cai Shen a long time ago. After that, I have never seen or heard of him again."

Cai Jing was actually telling Zhao Ji: "This person should not be Cai's confidant."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!

Unexpectedly, Cai Quan turned to Cai Jing and said, "The Grand Master said it is right. The villain was driven back to Xianyou by Cai Jian's traitor three years ago. Not only that, the villain has actually left the Cai family since then."

But then, Cai Quan changed his tone and said, "But it is precisely because of this that the villain knows a big thing."

Wang Fu asked: "What's the big deal?"

Cai Quan paused word by word: "Cai is still ambition to be independent."

Cai Quan thought that as soon as he said this, everyone would be surprised.

But Cai Quan looked at it secretly and saw that no one from Zhao Ji was surprised by his words.

Cai Quanxin said: "Do they already know?"

Wang Fu frowned and said, "What do you know? Speed ​​says, if it is really useful, Your Majesty will not hesitate to give it up. If it is useless, hum!"

When Cai Quan heard this, he did not dare to keep his composure. He hurriedly said, "After the villain left the Cai family, he visited friends everywhere. Later, Fang La rebelled, and the villain was also bullied to join the rebels of Fang Wugong. Because the villain had been well-read in poetry and books since he was a child, Fang Wugong made the villain a small leader. After Muzhou was defeated, the villain wanted to find an opportunity to escape from the clutches of Fang Wugong and become a good citizen. However, he did not expect that Fang Wugong actually took the villain to Taizhou, where he defected to a man who called himself the "Grand Governor". Soon after, the Grand Governor sent someone to take away all the remains of Fang Wugong, and the villain was one of them."

After a pause, Cai Quan continued: "After we arrived at the beach, we saw thousands of large ships. Many people who originally belonged to the Fang La rebels boarded the big ships, and many rioters from the southeast also boarded the big ships."

Cai Quan looked at it secretly and saw that Zhao Ji and others were no longer indifferent to what they said as before. He was greatly encouraged and continued, "The thousands of large ships carried us for a day and a night, and came to a place."

Cai Quan couldn't help but keep it in a silence and said, "Guess where that is?"

Wang Fu said coldly: "Are you sure you want His Majesty to guess?"

Cai Quanyi was shocked and hurriedly said, "It's an island, a large island. They called it Taiwan. Later, after asking from many sources, the villain learned that it was Liuqiu."

Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Liuqie?"

Li Bangyan quickly told Zhao Ji: "Liuqiu crosses the strait in the west and faces the southeast. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was called "Island Yi", the Qin Dynasty was called "Yingzhou", the Three Kingdoms Period was called "Yizhou", and it was called "Liuqiu" since the Sui Dynasty. In the early days of this dynasty, some people had already lived in Penghu in front of Liuqiu. Some people in Zhenzong Dynasty thought about assigning Liuqiu to our great Song Dynasty, but Liuqiu's miasma was extremely serious, and only local natives could not live on it, so the matter was stopped."

Cai Quan took Li Bangyan's words and said, "Liuqiu was indeed as this adult said at the beginning. The miasma was extremely serious, but they set a big fire on the island. After the fire burned, the problem of miasma was not that serious."

Cai Quan said again: "They immigrated to Baizaijue and built seven cities..."

"What? Are there millions of people? There are seven cities?"

This time, everyone from Zhao Ji was shocked!

Wang Fu asked, "Can you take what you said seriously?"

Cai Quan swore: "Everything that villain said is true, as if there is half a false sentence, the villain is willing to be cut into pieces!"

Zhao Ji, the king and his ministers looked at each other, and Bai Shizhong asked, "You mean, these millions of people are all Fang La's rebels?"

Cai Quan said: "Part of it is, and the other part is the rioters in the southeast."

After receiving Cai Quan's affirmative reply, Zhao Ji's monarch and ministers could not describe their mood at this moment.

Wang Fu reacted the fastest, saying: "So, Cai did not quell the Southeast Rebellion at the time, but moved all the rebels and rioters in the Southeast to Liuqiu?"

When Zhao Ji and his ministers heard this, they all reacted. They all looked at Cai Quan, hoping to get confirmation from Cai Quan.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Cai Quan took a deep breath and said, "This master guessed well, Cai is still the governor..."
