Chivalrous Song Dynasty

"What?" Cai Jing was taken aback, "You are Li Qingzhao? Your father is Li Gefei?"

Dejected, Li Qingzhao replied softly, "Exactly."

Cai Jing's expression became extremely complicated, as if he couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Then why don't you come to see the old man directly? Or you can come with your husband-in-law Zhao Mingcheng! Do you know that the old man is waiting for you to come, so I can't wait to see you? "

Li Qingzhao said: "I don't dare to wait for a long time, it's really because of the long journey, and there are many bandits along the way. If it weren't for my cousin Bai Sheng who gave his life to protect him all the way, the daughter of the people would have become the wife of the king of the mountain by now. gone."

Cai Jing sighed and said, "It's the old man's incompetence in governing the country that led to the poor public security in the local area. It's really the old man's fault. Well, talented girl Li, do you know who the old man hired you to teach?"

"Menwomen don't know."

"I have already set up a private school for women outside Donghua Gate, called Lecture Hall. There are two special students who need you to teach. One of them is Zhao Fujin, the daughter of the current official family, who loves to compose poems; The second student is named Li Shishi, he is both talented and beautiful, but he still needs to be cultivated in lyrics and music, these two students, the old man thinks that you are the only one in the world who is suitable to teach."

Li Qingzhao said in surprise: "The Grand Master has won the prize. As far as the girls know, Zhou Bangyan is the most popular among contemporary poets, and this person is in the capital. Why not let him teach?"

Cai Jing's arm moved, as if he wanted to wave it, but he couldn't lift it up, so he shook his head slightly, but his voice was full of cooperation: "Don't ask more about this, I just don't want him to teach, so That’s why I hired you here. In this way, from tomorrow onwards, you can go to the lecture hall to start classes, and the other matters have been arranged by the old man. As the saying goes, everything is ready, and the only thing left is Dongfeng.”

How clever Li Qingzhao is, he immediately knew that Cai Jing and Zhou Bangyan were not on the right track, and that Zhou Bangyan's name and shadow were not among the people who came to visit Cai Jing today, so he changed the subject: "Ministers respectfully follow the orders of the grand master, but only Minnies There is one more thing to ask."

Li Qingzhao's promise fulfilled Cai Jing's important matter, Cai Jing's mood immediately improved, and he regained his kind appearance: "Say it."

Li Qingzhao hit the iron while it was hot: "Jia Yan was dismissed from office a few days ago, I wonder if the grand master can be accommodating."

"What?" Cai Jing's white eyebrows frowned again, "I'm afraid that I can't help you. Now that I'm sick in bed, I don't know if I can return to the court to serve my country loyally. For your father's affairs, I have to see the official family. It’s good to say it when you’re talking, you see”

Hearing what Cai Jing said, Li Qingzhao's eyes immediately turned red, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Bai Sheng, as if pleading.

She was as clear as a mirror in her heart, her father was brought down by Cai Jing, it seemed that Cai Jing didn't intend to give herself this face, obviously he was trying to shirk.

Seeing that Li Qingzhao was so pitiful, and his eyes were full of pleading for help, Bai Sheng couldn't stand it any longer, and thought to himself, Cai Jing, why are you pretending to be an old bastard?Don't others know, I don't know, the important affairs of the Song Dynasty are still in your hands.

He couldn't help blurting out: "Grand Master, please forgive Cao Min for his bold words, if Cao Min can try to cure Grand Master's illness, make him healthy, and return to the court, then can Grand Master help my uncle to restore his post as an official? "

After hearing this, Cai Jing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily, "You really have this ability? Could it be that you know medical skills?"

It is said that what Cai Jing is most worried about at the moment is none other than his eldest son Cai You.The relationship between Cai You and the current emperor Zhao Ji is so good that they wear the same pair of pants.For example, even Cai You dared to ask for the maids in the harem, and Zhao Ji was really willing to give them!

Therefore, Cai Jing can conclude that as long as his condition does not improve within ten days, the decision-making power for major affairs in the court will fall into Cai You's hands!That is the power of a country, even if your own son comes to grab it!

Zhai Qian was also excited, but he added a sentence without doubt: "Mr. Bai, this is not nonsense, if you can't cure the grand master's illness, then it is a serious crime to deceive the important officials! "

Bai Shengdao: "I didn't say I would see a doctor, did I? But I can recommend a genius doctor to see the grand master! I just want the grand master to give me a promise, that is, if the grand master recovers, can my uncle be reinstated."

Cai Jingdao: "Of course there is no problem with this. The old man has said it just now. As long as the old man can meet the officials, he will definitely speak well for Li Gefei and guarantee him to return to court! I just don't know where the genius doctor recommended by Mr. Bai is now? The old man immediately Send someone to invite you."

Bai Shengxin said that Cai Jinggui is a grand master, so he shouldn't break his promise and get fat, so he said calmly: "This genius doctor is called An Daoquan, and he lives in Jiankang Mansion. The grand master should send someone to invite him."

In order to help Li Qingzhao, Bai Sheng first thought of An Daoquan.

Although I don't know why An Daoquan's reputation is not spread to the capital, but it seems that this is the case in the original "Water Margin".In the original book, An Daoquan followed Song Jiang to accept the recruitment, and went to the capital to become the No.1 doctor in the world.Bai Sheng felt that if An Dao couldn't cure Cai Jing's illness, then Cai Jing would have to die.

Cai Jing's face changed when he heard the words, and he said to himself: "Then we really have to send someone there immediately!" He had seen the urgent memorial of Jiankang Mansion, and knew that Fang La was going to send troops to attack Jiankang in the near future.If he was too late to send people there, if the Jiankang mansion had already changed when he arrived, his banner as a grand master would not be easy to use.

As for whether Huang Chang could turn the tide of the Jiangnan war, he actually had no idea.The reason why he arranged for Huang Chang to be the magistrate of Jiankang Mansion was entirely to excuse Tong Guan.

Immediately ordered: "Zhai Qian, you arrange this matter immediately, as soon as possible, if there is any delay, you don't want to live!"

"Yes." Zhai Qian went out immediately.

Cai Jing's face was full of hope, and he said again: "Is there anything else for Mr. Bai? If not, how about letting this maid take you to taste the old man's family banquet?"

"Oh, it's all right, thank you grand master." Bai Sheng and Li Qingzhao stood up and were about to leave, but found that Xiao Feng and Wanyan Wulu had no intention of leaving, so they couldn't help but cast reproachful looks at them, why?Do you really want to make trouble for me?

Xiao Feng didn't seem to see Bai Sheng's meaning, got up and said: "Husband, take your younger sister and cousin to dinner first, as a wife, I have a few words that I want to say to the grand master alone."

Bai Sheng was secretly helpless, but not without understanding.Since Xiao Feng is the leader of the forces in the Liao Kingdom, it is clear what she wants to do when she stays.It's nothing more than the relationship with Cai Jingla, so Da Song can't take advantage of the fire.

He planned to give Xiao Feng this chance.This is not only because the matter of Liao Liao itself is of great benefit to Da Song, but also because he knows that if he forcibly destroys Xiao Feng's plan, then the antidote for Kuxue Powder will be ruined.

But Wanyan Wulu didn't think so, why did she and Wanyan Zongwang come to Song Dynasty?She just wanted to unite the Song Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty. When she first met Xiao Feng, she didn't know the origin of this beautiful woman surnamed Xiao, but the old woman's appraisal just now had exposed Xiao Feng's background.

Cai Jing didn't know what the sleeve crossbow meant, how could Wanyan Wulu not know?If it weren't for the martial arts of the old woman in black, she would have wanted to kill Xiao Feng in Cai Jing's bedroom.Even so, she would not let Xiao Feng's attempt succeed.

So she stood up abruptly, pointed at Xiao Feng's nose and cursed: "Why did you become someone's daughter-in-law, you bastard? Are you still obedient to women? How can there be any reason to ask your husband to avoid talking to other men?"

Chapter 90 The Inflection Point of History

Comparing Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu, Wanyan Wulu's character is a bit in the middle.She has the meticulousness of Wanyan Zongwang and the straightforwardness of Jin Wushu, but she is definitely not a fool.

So she knew how to use the lies fabricated by Bai Sheng to attack Xiao Feng, in order to anger Cai Jing, drive Xiao Feng out with her, and even cause death because of it.In her opinion, as long as she can die with Xiao Feng, it is worth it.

"presumptuous!"

"Lulu, what are you messing around with?"

Before Cai Jing could speak, the woman in black and Bai Sheng had already spoken at the same time.On the contrary, Cai Jing himself was the last to speak. He looked at Wanyan Wulu with a smile and said, "My sister-in-law is not getting along, there are reasons for it."

Cai Jing was right.Sister-in-law and sister-in-law don't see eye to eye, and provoke each other. This is a fine tradition in China since 5000 years ago. In addition, another Chinese characteristic is the disharmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But the old woman in black didn't think so, because she knew Xiao Feng's background.How could Xiao Feng be the daughter of Song Guopeng who could become the successor of Ouyang Muye, the number one expert in the Liao Kingdom?So she immediately said: "Grand Master, let Mrs. Bai stay, I believe she must have something important to say."

If there is anyone present who does not believe that Xiao Feng and Bai Sheng are husband and wife, it is the woman in black.She thinks that even if the relationship between Bai and Xiao is true, it can only show that Bai Sheng has concealed his true identity, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Feng is also from Song.

"Huh?" Cai Jing was a little surprised, but he always believed in the judgment of the woman in black, so he said, "That's fine, Mr. Bai, please go ahead with Sister Ling."

"Lulu, don't make trouble, be obedient, let's go out first and wait for your sister-in-law outside the door." Bai Sheng coaxed Wanyan Wulu half-truthfully, and whispered in her ear: "Don't cause trouble for me. , I know what you want to do, that won’t work! I’ll give you an idea later.”

While speaking, he grabbed her arm and half dragged her out of the door.Li Qingzhao also followed to the door, and the two beautiful maids came out at the same time.

"Master Bai, why don't we go to the food garden first?" One of the maids suggested.

Bai Sheng looked at the two maids blocking Cai Jing's door, and knew that they didn't want him to eavesdrop, so he wondered if I wanted to listen, so why should I stand so close?But he said in his mouth: "Well, there is little sunshine here, let's wait at the gate of the courtyard."

Before he walked out of the courtyard, he heard Xiao Feng say in his ears: "Grand Master Cai, Emperor Tianzuo entrusted me to say hello to you."

"What?" There was a trace of panic in Cai Jing's voice, "You really are from the Liao Kingdom! Why did you meet me in this way? Don't you know that this will put me in danger?"

Cai Jing spent most of his life as an official in various state capitals of the Song Dynasty. He successively served as magistrate or prefect of Jiangning Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture (now CD), Hangzhou Prefecture, and Daming Prefecture. Tong Guan, who went to Hangzhou to purchase, made friends.

Later, when Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he was recommended by Tong Guan. He became an official in Zhongshu Sheren and entered the court from then on.But one of the achievements that led to his success was his mission to Liao.

It is said that as a literati, talking on paper and playing politics are necessary qualities, and almost everyone is good at it.However, few dare to go abroad.

Because the connivance of the literati in the Song Dynasty has reached the level of doting. For the scholars, as long as they do not rebel, no matter what crime they commit, they will not be sentenced to death. An exile thousands of miles.But it's different to go to a foreign country as an envoy, that's a job that will get your head cut off.

Few would dare to go to the Liao Kingdom to negotiate such a matter.In other words, there are those who dare to go, but their status in the Great Song Dynasty is too low to be worthy of representing the emperor of the Song Dynasty.However, Cai Jing dared to recommend himself and take risks. He was the only one among the middle and high-level officials.

However, his reckless risk is worthless to put it bluntly, because he betrayed the interests of Song Dynasty during his mission, who wouldn't pay compensation if he ceded land?
