Chapter 277 Cai Jing and the official family really look more and more like each other!(1/2)
When Tong Guan died, Cai Jing and Cai You also embarked on the way to Lingnan in a carriage.
At this time, Cai You was really serving Cai Jing like a filial son. Cai Jing was old and could not see the words on the book clearly, nor could he see the pedestrians on the road, nor could he hear the discussions in the public. He stayed in his soft lieutenant and looked at the magnificent city walls of Bianjing.
His life is over. No matter how long he can walk or how long he can live, the moment he left Bianjing, there is no possibility of coming back in his life.
He looked at the palace and the two towers of Bianjing in the distance, shook his head, and said to Cai You, "Let's go."
The Bianjing Tower in the sun is majestic and charming, and it has an indescribable beauty when combined with the prosperous Bianjing City.
But all this has nothing to do with them, father and son.
When will this life start?
Cai Jing calculated by his fingers, and he had a serious sin in his life.
"Father, are you okay?" Cai You asked. If Cai Jing's chest was not going up and down, Cai You would have thought Cai Jing was dead.
"It's okay, I just sighed when I think about being on the traitorous ministers." Cai Jing replied weakly.
The afternoon sun shines through the car window, making it very warm and comfortable. The rice fields outside Bianjing City are all working hard to farm.
Cai You nodded and said, "Son, I have also been to the Biography of the Treacherous Minister."
Cai Jing's face became blurred when he looked at Cai You's face and couldn't see clearly.
"In the third year of Xining, when it was the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Duke Wang Wen officially became the prime minister and became the prime minister of our Song Dynasty. He cooperated with the reign of Emperor Shenzong to start the reform of Xining. It was a great era. Duke Wang Wen has always wanted to complete the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the people through reforms." [Note 1]
"And your father, I, also called him outside Donghua Gate. Under the eyes of Shenzong and Wang Xianggong, I was awarded the title of Jinshi. Then I went to the local area and served as Qiantangwei, and then became the magistrate of Shuzhou, responsible for solving the case. I did it quite well."
"The people have called Cai Qingtian, who has been me for a while."
Cai You nodded and said, "At that time, my uncle was a minister of the Zhongshu in the court, and wrote an edict to Emperor Shenzong."
Cai Jing heard a lonely expression on his face and said, "Your uncle is a good man. If you hadn't left early, you would have said that you could not inherit Zhang Dun's policy and make the Song Dynasty really strong. It's a pity that your uncle is probably going to be implicated by me now."
The two people talked about Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian, who was posthumously named "Wenzheng". In the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named Wenzheng, which represents the person who walked straight.
This delay will really delay, and Cai Bian may no longer be able to leave his reputation in history books.
Moreover, Wang Anshi and Wang Wenzheng's husband also married their daughter to Cai Bian, trying to pass on their political ambitions to their sister-in-law.
In fact, Cai Bian did the same.
Unfortunately, Cai Bian, who had just started, was demoted again and again by Song Huizong, who had just ascended the throne. In the end, he died of depression.
Cai Bian did not forget that Cai Jing was still circulating in the local area. In the fourth year of Shaosheng, when he was on the Liao Kingdom, he transferred Cai Jing, who was in the local area, and went to the Liao Kingdom together. After returning, Cai Jing also officially took over Cai Bian's position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
At that time, Cai Bian and Cai Jing both wrote imperial edicts to Song Zhezong in the city of Bianjing. For a while, the matter of writing imperial edicts was to understand the situation in the world and prepare for being prime ministers.
Both brothers were writing imperial edicts, and they were the prime minister's reserve candidates. Of course, their reputation became famous.
"In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, I stood in the wrong team. At that time, Emperor Shenzong collapsed and was discussing the matter of the new king. I stood in the wrong team."
"Even if I can do it, it won't work. Sima Guang asked me to restore the service law within five days. I did it, and only I did it. But what can I do?"
"I was still impeached by the censors and demoted from Beijing, so that I could know Chengdu. As a result, I was not yet in the local area, and I was not yet in the local area. I was not yet in the local area, and I was not yet in the local area and asked me to be the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and to be the master of Chengdu."
"I just wandered around the south like this, running back and forth on the road. Isn't this a tossing person?"
Cai Jing remembered the bumps he had on the carriage at that time, and was so embarrassed like today.
"Uncle was the Right Chief of the Shangshu at that time." Cai You was still young at that time, and his memory was blurred. He only remembered that Cai Bian was very big and very big at that time.
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Well, the Minister of Shang and the Young Master. If it weren't for your uncle's help, I probably still wandered around Chengdu and couldn't return to the court."
"At that time, I returned to Beijing to serve as a bachelor's degree and a accompanying student at the Hanlin Academy, and was responsible for the compilation of national history."
"This is to accompany the prince to study and also to be responsible for the revision of national history. At that time, the Wen Ji case appeared."
"At that time, Emperor Zhezong ordered me to investigate, and I will investigate it to the end!"
"I arrested the servant Zhang Shiliang and found the ruthless Chen Yan, Liu Zhi, and Liang Tao. They were executed! The descendants will never be hired. Then Wang Yansou, Fan Zuyu, and Liu Anshi were exiled to Lingnan."
"Yu'er, do you think this thing you did for your father is beautiful?" Cai Jing showed a remembrance smile on his face.
He was really young and energetic at that time and could not bear to see the villain. He was investigated by a very small theft case and finally something big happened!
"Of course, the entire Bianjing City is praising my father's beauty, and it may not be like this if I change someone." Cai You knew of course.
At that time, one Cai Jing and the other Cai Bian were famous in the Song Dynasty. It was not the same as the reputation of Han Qi and Wang Wenzheng.
The father at that time was Cai You's pride, and he also attracted attention in the school because of his father.
"When did it become like this now? Oh, I remember, when the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, your uncle was defeated by King Duan, that is, the Supreme Emperor is deposed again and again. Can I survive? I am not as good as your uncle."
"Even Zhang Dun, who made unparalleled achievements in the war of the south and the north, was demoted."
"It's interesting to say. Zhang Dun is also a treacherous minister, and I am also a member of the treacherous minister's biography, haha." Cai Jing laughed twice, and his eyes showed nostalgia for the past glorious years.
When King Duan ascended the throne, he was already in his fifties and wanted to take revenge for life. However, he was still unable to do so. He was so defamed that he could no longer see the way to become prime minister.
"At that time, I didn't know what kind of demonic storm there was in the court, so it would be fine if my father was demoted to Jiangning Mansion. Before his father had set off, he even took the position of prefect of Jiangning Mansion and threw it directly to Hangzhou, and promoted Dongxiao Palace to manage a Taoist sect. It was a strange thing." Cai You said dissatisfied.
He was already preparing for the imperial examination at that time, so he followed his father back and forth to Hangzhou.
At that time, Hangzhou was not called Lin'an. It was only changed in the third year of Xuanhe.
"Your uncle died of depression, lost his chance, and lost all the official positions to realize his ambitions. As a result, I made friends with Tong Guan and was scolded by your uncle. Until now, your uncle's family has not interacted with us."
"Tong Guan was an entourage official in Hangzhou at that time. I took the opportunity to paint a painting for the Supreme Emperor, called "The Picture of Love and Don't Help", hahahaha!" Cai Jing suddenly burst into laughter.
Cai You kept patting Cai Jing's back and said carefully: "Father, please wait, slow down."
"Do you know? I will write an edict to Emperor Shenzong and Emperor Zhezong to understand the major affairs of the world."
"I solved the Wen Jifu case, and I also went to Liao Kingdom with your uncle. I have done everything I can. I am a scholar, so I can't go to the battlefield with a gun."
Cai Jing was still laughing wildly, constantly slapping his knees, and laughing wildly: "I couldn't find a way to become an official, so I found Tong Guan, made friends with Tong Guan, and presented a painting."
"A painting! Hahahaha! A painting."
"I became the governor of Dingzhou, and then promoted to the Zuocheng of the Shangshu. In just one year, I went from the governor of Dingzhou and became the Zuocheng of the Shangshu!"
"Do you think it's ridiculous? Have you ever seen someone who can be prime minister in painting? I've seen it, and I'm the one." Cai Jing pointed at his nose and looked at Cai You with a bright look, his face full of mockery.
Cai Jing did not stop and continued to say loudly: "Later, your father, I, summed up the first key to being an official, to please."
"And others bow when they see the emperor. I am not, but I kowtow when I see him. I will try my best to please Tong Guan and please the Supreme Emperor."
"Everyone in the world will wait and see. I hope that I, Da Cai, can make a difference when I go to the stage. I set up a lecture department, a royal family, a redundant official, a state-owned enterprise, a business trip, a salt-headed, a tax-tax, and Yin Mu, all in the hands of your father, me!"
"I stopped the imperial examination method, and ordered the prefectures and counties to select officials according to the Taixue Sanshe Law exam, and built Biyong in the south of Bianjing City to serve as the external school of the Taixue to accommodate scholars from all over the world. The square field method was implemented in the world. The tea and salt of the Jiang and Huai Road were sold for the Jiang and Huai Roads."
"I'm doing what the officials do now!"
Cai Jing shouted angrily: "Is the sermon doing a bad job in the sermon?! His official family has a 20-strong Jin man, and I also stipulated that a Xixia man would be rewarded with 300 pieces of silk. The Western Army soldiers almost killed the Xixia man!"
"Some people even use Qiang people's heads as counts, and I will admit the account! As long as I kill Hu, I will have a bounty, three hundred pieces of silk, and hundreds of acres of fertile land!"
"More than the current government's money, Fang Tianfa directly made your father and I be scolded by the court officials, but I still implemented it."
"Because I know that the Song Dynasty did not have a land system! Land annexation has become a trend!"
"There will only be more and more refugees in the world. The imperial guards and the wing troops cannot be accommodated, and the commissions of the landlords are getting lower and lower. This is enough to destroy the roots of the Song Dynasty. How can I not know?"
"Who am I! I am Cai Jing! Cai Jing is famous all over the world! I know what to do! But what can I do?" Cai Jing said as he said two lines of turbid tears flowed down.
Cai You didn't know how to comfort his father. In comparison, he was the vocal worm of the Supreme Emperor. He would do whatever the Supreme Emperor asked him to do, far inferior to his father.
Cai Jing was still recalling. He thought for a while and said, "In the three years of Daguan, the censors impeached me, so I took advantage of the situation to retreat, resigned, lived in Bianjing, and became an old man. At that time, Bianjing was the prosperous scene today."
"The Tai student Chen Chao Lao Yi came to Kuisu again. Lousu appeared and impeached me, counting my fourteen crimes. Then I was sent to Hangzhou by the Supreme Emperor."
"I originally thought that I would be old men wherever I was. As a result, the Supreme Emperor brought me back to the capital and asked me to be the prime minister."
"It was probably from that time that I began to be greedy for authority. In order to collect millions of gifts for the Supreme Emperor, I began to make a fortune."
"At that time, the treasury had tens of millions of taxes all year round, and was enough to enjoy the prosperity and rich enough to prepare gifts."
"So he forged nine tripods, built Mingtang, built Fangze, established Taoist temples, made "Dashengle", and formulated fate treasures. He appointed Meng Changling as the envoy of Dushui, dug out the three mountains of Dali, built Tiancheng and Shenggong Bridges. They were all great achievements."
"Isn't the work relief supervision that the officials are doing now, which is what I thought at the time?"
"These landless civilians who have lost their lands will still eat free food and receive money when they arrive at the imperial guards and the wing army. It is better to go to the mountain to open mountains and build bridges, which is also a blessing."
"It was a big investment that cost a lot of money. The Supreme Emperor wanted to build Yanfu Palace and Long Jingjiang. He couldn't make up enough for him. He wanted to build Genyue Palace again. It all costs money."
"Which one doesn't have money? I gradually couldn't make up the money, and the Supreme Emperor began to dislike me. Alas."
Cai Jing has summarized his life. Compared to Cai Jing's sigh, Cai You could only remain silent. In fact, it was him who gave Cai Jing the last blow and drove Cai Jing out of the court.
At that time, public arguments were calling his father a treacherous minister.
Think about it now, who was not a person who was devoted to serving the people and the country?
How did it become like this?
"Cai You, tell me, what is the government going to do next?" Cai Jing wiped his two lines of tears and began to analyze the situation in the world.
"The official family came into being, I don't know." Cai You answered honestly.
Cai Jing nodded and said, "I know what he is going to do."
"There are generally established nationwide; establish a three-level academic system that is linked to county schools, prefecture schools and taixus; build a new Biyong and develop taixus; restore the establishment of medicine, establish a junior college in mathematics, calligraphy, painting, etc.; stop the imperial examinations and take the school to take the junior colleges." Cai Jing said with a smile, looking like a wise bead in his hands.
