The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter two hundred and twenty second officialdom fight

The conflict between Cai Jing and Cai You and his son was buried many years ago. When Cai Jing joined the court to list his confidants and appointed his disciples, promoted a large number of people, and arranged for them to have a prosperous and rich official position.

But for his two eldest sons, Cai You and Cai Chong, one is the secretary of the eighth rank, and the other is the personal guard of the seventh rank, Cai Jing ignored him and did not mention the word promotion at all.../.

/The emperor wanted to promote Cai You, but Cai Jing not only did not help, but repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying that his eldest son was not talented but could not be competent for the position of Qing Dynasty. The emperor was not allowed to give up. Cai Jing transferred him to assist in the revision of the "Official History of Shenzong".

Who wants to do a chore that racks his brains? Of course, this has caused dissatisfaction among the two sons. When you go to the father to argue, you must have a limit to question Cai Jing. You should set an example. You should not avoid being a kiss. Why do you do the most reliable one?

My son is so mean? Cai You asked his father to arrange a position with power and power to attract wealth and treasures. Cai Hui was also unhappy. Although the personal guards were close to the emperor, they stood on both sides of the hall when they went to court.

The wooden man ran around with the guards when he went out, like a servant who was doing odd jobs. What's the future? He also asked to change his place.

Cai Jing did not agree to his two sons, but instead taught his brother a lesson, saying that I strongly recommend the people whom I favored and those who have made achievements, and it seemed impartial and selfless. If I arrange my son with power, the censor would

Impeachment, the people will discuss the meeting, and the emperor will also be suspicious. That is because of the small loss of the big, and it is out of reach! A few years ago, I took charge of the government and first promoted my younger brother and son, and was preparing to promote my in-laws, which was led by the ministers.

The criticism was dismissed from the post of the prime minister and lost the big one because of the small one.

So the most urgent task is not to promote you, but to consolidate my power. If you want to maintain power, the most fundamental thing is to gain the trust of the emperor. The emperor is not completely relieved to me. If you are sent by the emperor, you will be an undercover agent. Wait for the future.

It’s not too late to promote you again after gaining a firm foothold. What kind of official position can’t be that at that time!

After hearing this, Cai You and the two Cai Chong sons became enlightened. They praised their father for their wiseness, so they went to work with peace of mind and waited for the opportunity, but this had been waiting for more than ten years. Cai You couldn't wait to rely on his own efforts and gave it to women.

The clown won the favor of the emperor and became a good friend and promoted to the Grand Marshal. But his ultimate goal was to be promoted to the prime minister, but his father, who was seventy years old, had no intention of giving in, and actually wanted to support his favored little ones.

His son Cai Lingyu became the successor of Xiangye and sent him a journey before retiring gloriously.

The power struggle is definitely not gentleness and humility. We often meet each other and don’t know each other. Cai You has been struggling for so many years and is almost fifty years old, but he has waited for such a result. Of course, he is angry and fighting bulls. He is holding back his energy.

To destroy Cai Jing and get rid of his unlucky brother, the opportunity is of course left to those who are prepared. This opportunity will soon arrive...

Since ancient times, robbers have robbed together and divided the spoils and fought hard. After Tong Guan joined the "Pingyan Ce", after two years of hard negotiations and preparations, the result was finally achieved. Cai Jing and Tong Guan were allies back then, so they definitely did not give their strength to support them, and even joined forces to do so.

Deng Xunwu, the Privy Council, was defeated, but when he was fighting for the power to attack Liao, the two had serious differences, and even refused to expose each other's shortcomings and reported their own family misfortunes.

Although Cai Jing was in the capital, he knew Tong Guan very well and exposed his actions in the northwest one by one. He attacked him for abuse of military power, falsely reported and committed meritorious service, corrupted military discipline, damaged military power, formed cliques and private interests, and even the death of Gao Yongnian was shaken down.

Of course, he could not escape these things. Tong Guan was recommended by him, and he was the one who supported Tong Guan to lead the northwest, and he could only apologize to the emperor. In fact, it was mainly Cai Jing to Tong Guan now rank in the third position, and he was on the same list as him.

Resentment and jealousy.

The result of the two fighting was that the emperor distrusts Tong Guan and reconsider the candidate for the Liao commander. Then Zhao Zhen, with the secret support of the emperor, took charge of Hedong to monitor and divide Tong Guan's military power, and vigorously

Promote confidants such as Wang Fu, Li Bangyan to restrain Cai Jing's power in the court. Both of them were defeated. Two forces in the court rose rapidly under the support of the emperor. One was Zhao Qiong from the northwest, and he came to Hedong for several battles.

The army has won great prestige, and the power in its hands is enough to compete with Tong Guan; the other is Wang Fu, who has now begun to preside over the government. Although Cai Jing is still the leader of civil servants in name, his voice is not as good as before.

But the old tiger is in a strong and powerful manner. He is sitting in that position, and Wang Fu and others can't let go.

The internal conversation between Cai Jing and the emperor was soon discovered by Tong Guan. This was a pity for him. Tong Guan was also anxious and immediately contacted a piece he had laid out. He was Cai You. These two people were considered close relatives and friends.

Although Tong Guan was an eunuch, he married several wives. Among them, the eldest wife Xu Xixi was also a matchmaker for Cai Jing, but he fell in love with Cai You. The things in the world are so strange, Cai You took his own

My wife gave it to the emperor for enjoyment, but went to sleep with someone else's wife.

Tong Guan didn't know about this, but instead of calling him Po Po, he secretly indulged the two of them. So he relied on his wife's diplomacy and became close comrades in his arms. Of course, the main reason was the interests. The two of them agreed in private that Cai You would come forward to persuade Cai Jing.

He supported Tong Guan as the head coach of the attack on Liao. After the matter was completed, Tong Guan replied to Cai You as the second coach, but things were not going well. Cai You was disappointed every time, and Cai Jing expressed his silence.

At this time, Cai You was not the former Wu Xia Ameng, but the emperor's close minister. With Wang Fu and several other friends who were in power, he asked Wang Fu to help make this happen. Wang Fu was not happy, and of course he hit it off.

He thought that the emperor was not happy with Cai Jing now, which was a good time to take action. Once he took action, he would be punished to death and oust Cai Jing. At that time, he monopolized the government and it was difficult to deal with something, so Cai happened.

You broke into Cai Jing's mansion and took the fun of him taking his father's pulse in front of everyone.

After all, it was his own father, and Cai You didn't want to do it too well. He started to mobilize Cai Jing to resign early, retire, and give up his position to young people, but Cai Jing was not tactful and refused to leave his leadership position.

I want to devote myself to the country and the emperor until I die. I have no hope of mobilizing my father to retire. After discussing with a few friends, everyone believes that if you don’t die, you will suffer if you kill a snake. We are all the priests of the current dynasty, and they are all

But an immortal, he might as well just do it all the time, and Su can handle the retirement matters.

So, a Grand Master Cai requested retirement on the emperor's desk. The emperor could resign according to the rules. The emperor wanted to keep three of them, which seemed that the emperor paid attention to the national system and gave face. So the resignation was returned, and several boys submitted the letter again, but Grand Master Cai did not

I knew I had been retired, and I had been playing with an eagle for a lifetime, but in the end I was pecked by the eagle that I had raised for half my life...

But things always fail to keep up with changes. Tong Guan and Cai You had just planned it, and he also used the Hedong Army to stabilize the situation and prepared to negotiate peace with the Xixia. The emperor sent a negotiating mission headed by Cai You, but the situation in the northwest

Suddenly, the emperor immediately repented and suppressed Cai Jing's appointment for retirement. Although he did not recall the mission, he left them in Taiyuan and waited for the next instructions, and divided these people into three groups.

Zhao Ji often deals with national affairs without any rules, just like he writes and draws, and he waves his pen, and is elegant and elegant. When making major decisions, he often takes a whim, is unscheming, is impermanent, and refuses to admit his conspiracy, but he also has a bottom line

, it just cannot threaten his own safety, otherwise Cai Jing would not have had the previous ups and downs, which indirectly shows that the power of the country has always been in his hands.

The generals and ministers are ideal. Every king knows that once the generals and ministers are in harmony with their own lives, they will be sad. It will inevitably lead to the fall of imperial power and the court officials' affairs. Therefore, they have always been fighting each other and the emperor mediated. That is a good match for both.

All the factions need the support of the emperor, so they must be honest and obedient.

Zhao Ji learned from Zhao Qi's letter that Tong Guan actually wanted to give up the good situation in front of him, and wanted to return to the court to attack Liao, and did not hesitate to go to his son in a dangerous place. He also thought that he promoted Wang Fu, Cai You and others wanted to restrain him.

Cai Jing's power, but once Cai Jing retires and several upstarts take office, will they repeat the same mistakes? It is not a good thing for Cai You and others to collude with Tong Guan, and this sign must be cut off.

Therefore, Zhao Ji strongly supports his son to make achievements, making Zhao Qi's position more stable in the army, making Tong Guan feel that there is no one in the army, and his son is also a god of war, and you are not an unyielding person; at the same time, Tong Guan feels that this group is not a gang.

The upstarts were unreliable in their work and had to move closer to themselves. Keeping Cai Jing for the time being also made the upstarts feel threatened and dare not make any changes. They successfully re-divided the various forces in the court with their son's victory.

... ...

At the end of July, Zhao Qi led his troops to Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Yanchang City Post Road toward Lingzhou to the west. This journey was very hard. The Post Road ran through the vast sea. Although it was covered with lakes, it was all salt lakes. The water was bitter and people could not drink.

The land is severely salinized and not suitable for farming. It has a sparse population in settlements. It is even more difficult to see people after the clearance of the fields of Chibi in the Western Xia Dynasty. This is a famous salt pond, Wuchi, Baichi, Xiaoneck pond and Wayao pond in the Hequ area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

This shows a gentle slope and hilly land between the two western prefectures, with vast land, and a ridge that stretches across the north and south forms a watershed ridge.

That night, the army stayed in Baichi City. Zhao Qi sent a scout to inquire about the road and searched for a guide. After eating something, he summoned the generals to discuss tomorrow's action. At this time, the two groups of Shaanxi Army were blocked in Mingshacheng and Pulecheng respectively.

It is difficult to conquer, and the plan of the two armies to attack Lingzhou failed. They have to face the Xia army in Lingzhou alone. This is the autumn harvest season, and for the food that is about to be harvested, the Xia army will inevitably fight to the death, and the loyal and brave army will only carry it.

After twenty days of food and grass, the supply depends on Xiazhou, 300 miles away. This will be very difficult. Fighting for autumn grain has become their best choice... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome.
