Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 17
"Di Ji is joking." After Cai Chi extended his hand to invite him, he said slowly: "Qiongzhi's father worked as a food envoy. Due to the implementation of the New Deal, he was laid off and made a living by doing small business at home. He has been depressed. "

"When Qiongzhi entered the palace, he got into contact with Empress Meng in the Yaohua Palace because of this incident. He has been working for Empress Meng in the name of an old member of the Yuanyou Party."

"So, Cai Langjun, like Qiongzhi, is also an elite person trained by Empress Meng?" Zhao Fujin had made a guess in his mind before, but he did not expect Cai Wei to be so frank.

"Yes, and no." Cai Chi cleaned his hands, opened another can of tea, washed the pot and boiled the soup pot, then continued: "My mother's family has a good relationship with the wife of the Meng family in the boudoir, and both families have They were the Queen Mother's Party of the late Emperor, but the head of the Meng family was very discerning, and had secretly made friends with the late Emperor when the Queen Mother Gao was still in power. After the death of the Queen Mother Gao, the Meng family rose to the occasion and gained the favor of the late Emperor."

"As for my grandfather, he served in the official family of three dynasties and was disrespectful to the late emperor, so that he was liquidated. It was the head of the Meng family and Empress Meng who worked hard to protect my grandfather's family under the age of ten. "My mother and I have benefited from the Meng family, so we can't get away from it."

"So, is it because Empress Meng didn't have her arms cut off by the officials that she secretly plotted against me many times?" Zhao Fujin understood somewhat. Qiongzhi failed to harm her, so he specially ordered Meng Jiangying to come out, with the purpose of ruining this connection. Marriage.

"It was Cai Wei who dragged down the Emperor Ji. Please ask the Emperor Ji to convict him." Cai Wei asked Zhao Fujin to convict him, but his hands did not pause at all. Within a moment, another scent of tea wafted out.

The tea brought to Zhao Fujin: green in color, fragrant in taste, and beautiful in shape, makes people salivate just by looking at it.

Under Qiong Ye's fierce gaze, Zhao Fujin picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly.

Cai Wei was so magnanimous, which made her shrink back.

He dared to admit to his face that he was a member of the Yuanyou Party, but in his voice he did not approve of the actions of the Yuanyou Party. Otherwise, he would not have said that he could not escape from the incident.

So, he wanted to tell himself that it was not his intention to be dragged into Meng's camp?
But, what if it was his intention?
Just because he allowed Meng to harm him, this marriage is open to question.

"In my opinion~~" Cai Chi put down his sleeves, cleaned his hands, and said slowly: "The Song Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, powerful officials are in power, and the truly talented people are squeezed into a corner, and they have no place to use their efforts. , what a pity.”

Quan Huan?

Is this talking about his father Cai Jing and the eunuch Tong Guan?
"Cai Langjun, you should talk to the officials about these words." Zhao Fujin said.

"I am not in my position, and I do not plan for my government. I am an official in charge of calligraphy and painting. It is unfair to discuss political affairs with officials, and my words are not smooth." Cai Chi sat behind the tea table, looked at Zhao Fujin behind the screen, and replied word for word. road.

"So, do you want me to reject this marriage with the official family?" Zhao Fujin knew that the prince-in-law of the Song Dynasty was famous but not powerful. Did Cai Chi say this because he didn't want to be his master?
If so, why did he admit to himself that he was from the old party and was the same as the Meng family?

"No, my marriage to the emperor's concubine is a blessing cultivated by the ancestors of the Cai family for eighteen generations. I cannot wish for it." Cai Chi's voice was gentle and elegant, and his expression was extremely sincere.

"Then, you want me to help you ask for power from the officials, so that you can be justified?" Zhao Fujin smiled coldly: "Cai Wulang is so honest, it is really impressive!"

Before he became the consort, he was thinking of using himself to seek power!
Did he think he was stupid and easy to deceive, or was he just having a whim?
This person is beautiful and thinks beautifully!
"Emperor Ji, the Prince Consort of the Song Dynasty has no longer been in power and discussed politics since Shenzong." Cai Chi was not upset even after being stabbed by Zhao Fujin: "After lunch yesterday, Empress Meng sent someone to tell me two things. "One case is that the Emperor Ji sent Xiangzhi to inquire about the Cai and Meng families, and the other case is that the Emperor Ji and the officials presented a strange book. After reading it, the officials changed their mind about building Gen Yue."

"I was afraid that the people arranged by the Emperor Ji would confront my father and cause misunderstandings, so I arranged for the servants around me to speak to the Emperor Ji in person, and then I invited myself into the palace to accompany me. In the palace, I saw the Emperor Ji present to Your Majesty. Geography of mountains and rivers."

When he said this, Cai Chi's eyes brightened and he said with amazement: "I know now that this world is so big and beautiful. It is really shocking." "It is really a blessing for the Song Dynasty that Emperor Ji can get such a wonderful book. !" At this point, he actually stood up, and Shi Shiran saluted again: "Cai Yunliang, on behalf of the people of the Song Dynasty, would like to express his gratitude to the emperor!"

That's it!

The doubts in Zhao Fujin's mind were finally solved.

It is inevitable that ancient people like them would be shocked when they saw modern books.

It's just that Meng's influence in the palace is indeed too scary. She was talking in Qionghua Pavilion, and before she left the house, she had already reached Cai Chi. Thinking of Qiong Ye and Qiong Yu around him, Zhao Fujin felt a little... I regret that I didn't send them out when I was talking to Cai Wei just now.

Yesterday, there were only five people waiting in Qionghua Pavilion. When they were examining Qiongzhi, four people, Qiongye, Qiongyu, Xiangye and Xiangzhi, were waiting beside them.

When Xiangzhi was sent to do something, Qiongzhi was taken out by Qiongyu, leaving only Qiongye, Xiangye, and Xiangzhi in the palace.

So, who could be the traitor?

It seems that I have to be more careful when speaking in my palace in the future.

Qiongye and Qiongyu also murmured in their hearts. After all, they were the only ones in the hall yesterday, and they couldn't escape their relationship.

Cai Wei's nickname turned out to be Yunliang, which sounded much better than Cai Tiao. Zhao Fujin glanced at Cai Wei. Meng's ability to tell Cai Wei about the matter meant that the two were deeply involved and probably would be hard to regret. .

"Meng Meng is very considerate to Mr. Cai." As soon as Zhao Fujin said these words, he felt as if there was a sour gas floating in the air.

"It's just a matter of convenience." Cai Chi replied disapprovingly: "Since Prime Minister Cai came to power, most of Yuanyou's old people have been liquidated. Empress Meng has no capable people at hand. Only my identity has Prime Minister Cai can achieve what many others cannot by covering up."

That's why the Meng family tried to prevent him from marrying Emperor Kangfu, right?
After the marriage, he became a prince-in-law with no real power, and he would not be so effective if he wanted to use it.

Moreover, Meng was also afraid that Cai Chi would be won over by Emperor Kangfu—no, by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Fujin felt that he had discovered the truth.

So, was Cai Chi's purpose in asking him out to meet him just to surrender?

"Cai Wei asked Di Ji out because he actually wanted to ask for something." Cai Wei said, "Cai Wei hopes that Di Ji can accept the engagement and save her life."

What do you mean?
Did Cai Jing know about his relationship with the Yuanyou Party members and plan to kill him?
