Chapter 101 Old Cai's Thoughts
Zhao Cheng was slightly stunned, "Is the news about the magistrate's husband sure?"
Cai You frowned, "I'm not sure, but it's basically the same. The reason is that Qin Ming's hammer!"
Somehow, aren't the two of them on their honeymoon period? Cai You suddenly used such a serious word?
Cai You continued, "Qin Ming was stubborn and put a gold on his face. The Huangbianzhai incident was obviously because he was incompetent, but he was too cunning to talk about bandits. The biggest problem was that in addition to telling the people of this state, he also reported to the Ministry of War! This complicated the current problem, so the state concluded that it would be a problem for Wuwei Army to enter Chizhou sooner or later."
It is true that Qin Ming's leadership was Cai You, but what is complicated is that the Xiangjun in this period was the government series (under the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat), not the Privy Council (1st Military Commission) series.
The sequelae of the battle between Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing caused the current Minister of War to be a decoration, while the Minister of War Zhang Kegong is the most anti-Cai family.
This represents the impulsive and hot Qin Ming reported to Zhang Kegong. This is OK. The military order is indeed in the hands of Cai You, but in terms of business, the general manager of the Chizhou Xiangjun can report to Zhang Kegong of the Ministry of War.
This seems very painful in politics. Unfortunately, Cai You had no choice but to do anything to Qin Ming at this time. Since the Hongshan Village was killed by Wang Xiu, the situation in Chizhou was about to break out. General Qin Ming, who is known as the courage of thousands of men, still has the tendency to be unable to restrain himself. As a scholar, Cai You did not dare to touch Qin Ming at this time from any angle.
Otherwise, from Cai You's perspective, he might think that both Zhoucheng and himself are in danger!
At this point, Zhao Cheng was sure that Qin Ming was abolished.
His impulse and ignorance hurt him. If he thought he could hold Zhang Kegong, the Minister of War, just like this, it would be a big mistake. In terms of the corrupt Confucian thinking of preventing fire, theft and guarding generals, Zhang Kegong would only be more conservative than him, Cai You.
Now it is nothing more than political infighting. As a temporary general, Qin Ming dares to participate in such affairs. If he has a kind of teacher's family background, qualifications, talents, prestige, and status, he will not talk about it, but he dares to play like this with the famous treacherous minister Cai You without any situation.
This... Zhao Cheng could only pay silence to General Qin. After the difficulties in Chizhou were over, when Cai You didn't need to rely on him, Qin Ming's big trouble would basically come. It is hard to say that it is really possible to spread the plots in Water Margin.
Zhao Cheng thought this strangely, Cai You suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Cheng and asked, "I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I have served in the river and rescued Zhang Ji? and Li Jianyou. Political policy discussions. The popularity of "Lanruo Temple" is popular, and the affairs of the county government, including Huangbianzhai's discovery of the thieves to rescue the little girl."
He paused and said, "These one by one are enough to prove that you are not only talented but also have ideas. What is valuable is that you are particularly capable of execution compared to others. This state rarely values and relies on someone else's opinions, but now I want to ask you, do you have any opinions on these matters?"
Zhao Cheng was also embarrassed.
Regarding such matters, Zhao Cheng doesn't really want to be the focus again and is at the forefront of the storm. That is good, but it will also have some invisible troubles.
It was too short to come to the Northern Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was only a little over one month. Now, Cai You really seemed too popular and had done so many eye-catching things without realizing it.
The most popular one was to defeat Dong Jianwu with the reputation of "Yiyang Finger", which was in full view of the public. To a certain extent, the Song people who love gossip were praised for "braveness". This may be the reason why Cai You discovered that Qin Ming was a big stick and asked Zhao Cheng about the bandit problem when he was blind.
This is really not good. In the Northern Song Dynasty, we tried our best not to lose our literati status. Fortunately, Zhao Cheng, a person who can be literary and military, is not an exception. Han Qi and Fu Bi, are all of them, especially Zhang Shuye of the dynasty, who was able to compete with the nomadic Liao generals when he was on a mission to the Liao Kingdom. With these, Zhao Cheng's spotlight on his yang fingers is not that strong.
Seeing that he was hesitating with a strange look, Cai You said, "Actually, there is no need to think too much. You can tell me directly if you have any hidden secrets. It won't be considered your guilt. In fact, about your brave rescue of Li Jianyou and Zhang Ji? This state is always wondering. The copycat has not been suppressed, so will your process be too simple?"
This was something that was not convenient to tell him. Unexpectedly, he noticed it and mentioned it on his own initiative, so Zhao Cheng did not dare to be careless, "My husband knew clearly. As you thought, after the bandit leader Wang Ying was killed, the Yangshan Village was in charge of Bai Chenxiang and was not very resentful. Moreover, when the bandit leader Wang Ying was killed, the students were kind to Bai Chenxiang. This was the whole story, and it was not all the students' own decisions. Among them, the magistrate agreed."
Cai You then muttered to himself while touching his chin, "No wonder..."
He also said: "Since this is the case, you don't have to worry about this. No trouble is a merit, and the counterfeit village is also divided into mildness and non-mixture. This is not contrary to the policies of my father, Old Cai Xiangye. On the contrary, Bai Chenxiang's ministry can help the government in a special period, participate in stabilizing the situation in Chizhou, and achieve this. In the future, it is not difficult for her to recommend Bai Chenxiang to be a background."
Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master of the Prefecture."
Cai You turned around, "But you still didn't say that Wang Xiu's village is growing rapidly and gradually becoming rampant, but our government is unable to control it. What should we do? With the crowds of copycats, they can still raise and balance each other. Once Wang Xiu continues to grow bigger, and we can't suppress it, Wuwei's army will enter Chizhou even more for sure."
"In addition to demonstrating the inability to stabilize the situation of Cai You, this is more likely to hit my father's prestige of returning to power. In addition, as soon as the Wuwei Army entered Chizhou, it represented the official attitude: it was about to suppress bandits. This will definitely cause the parcel to go to extremes in advance. Not to mention whether it can be won, if the war is flying, finance, taxation, money, and people's livelihood are greatly affected, then it will become my fault in the first place. It will smear the face of today and also be a suffering for the people under the rule. What do you think?"
Cai You finally said: "You can speak freely about these things, and if you say it wrong, your state will tolerate it."
Zhao Cheng then clasped his fists and said, "After the Hongshan Village incident was reported by Qin Ming, it has basically become a landmark event. Old Cai Xiangye was limited in his early return, and the Privy Councilor Zhang Kangguo was in a swaying state. Under this circumstance, the students were sure that Wuwei Army had an inevitable move and was unstoppable."
Cai You frowned, but was helpless. From a political perspective, he knew that this was inevitable. Zhang Kangguo looked like his father's person on the surface, but he was really an old fox. Basically, he would occupy the rhythm of the other side. During the political situation, this kind of person can increase his momentum and be smart and useful, but at critical moments, this kind of person is absolutely unreliable.
After sighing, Cai You nodded slightly and continued to say.
Zhao Cheng said again: "Since you can't control it, then don't care about it. He comes to let him come. Although it is an external army, as long as you are still the governor after entering Chizhou, the law of whether to send troops will still be in the hands of my husband."
