Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 380 Meet Cai Jing

It turned out that Tong Guan just got the news that Liangshan's envoys also came to Bianliang, and their purpose was to negotiate peace with Song Dynasty!The envoy of the peace talks is Zhu Wu, an important figure in Liangshan, and the recommender is Tong Guan's nephew Tong Xiang!Tong Tong is unbelievable!

At this moment in the Honglu Temple in Bianliang City, Zhu Wu was sitting in an attic, sipping tea slowly, looking very comfortable. e^Seeing leaving Yan Yun's center of power, he felt much more comfortable.During this period of time in Yanyun, he was neglected and felt a little uncomfortable.But here, he was free, everything was up to him, and he felt better.

Thinking back carefully now, he also felt that he was really indecisive when he did things at the beginning, no matter what, he is too lazy to pay attention to Yan Yun's affairs now.And this time the mission to the Song Dynasty is also very important, and it must be done well.Although he was somewhat disheartened because of Wu Dong's actions, his affection for Liang Shan was extremely deep, and he would never betray Liang Shan just because of a little personal loss.

The tea is the best Longjing tea, and he hasn't had such a good tea for a long time.

An eminent monk in cassock was sitting beside him, and the eminent monk was also drinking tea, but the eminent monk drank tea just like drinking water. To him, there was really not much difference between tea and water.This great monk is none other than Lu Zhishen, a well-known Hua monk in the Jianghu. This time he also accompanied Zhu Wu on his mission to the Great Song Dynasty.

"Mr. Zhu, why do you think we want to negotiate peace with Da Song?" Lu Zhishen said.

"Naturally, we must stabilize the Song court, and then deal with the female real person with all our strength!" Zhu Wu said.

"We are talking about peace now, and we will still attack the Song Dynasty in the future. Such a method is not fair enough. I don't agree with you and the governor on this point." Lu Zhishen said.

"Is it fair and aboveboard? People need to be aboveboard, but there is absolutely no such thing as being aboveboard between countries! According to your statement, is it reasonable for an enemy country to say hello before attacking?" Zhu Wu asked retortly.

"Haha, of course not!" Lu Zhi shook his head with a deep smile.

"We just got the information from Liu Yanqing that the third prince of Nv Zhenren has come to the Western Army, and I'm afraid he has already arrived in Bianliang!" Zhu Wu said.

"Ah?" Lu Zhishen was obviously taken aback.

"Hua Rong's words are indeed true. Real Nv is indeed uniting the Quartet and wants to deal with us together. Fortunately, there are people from us in the Western Army. We already know the news by now." Zhu Wudao.

"Why didn't Liu Yanqing stop them before?" Lu Zhishen frowned.

"You don't know, the real lady first visited Zhong Shidao, and then they met Tong Guan under the escort of Zhong Shidao's soldiers and horses. After that, they followed Tong Guan to Bianliang. Liu Yanqing and others couldn't make a move at all. .” Zhu Wu said.

"Since they have come to Bianliang, look, should I kill them?" Lu Zhishen said.

"There must be masters among real women! Besides, this is Bianliang, so it's very difficult to kill them secretly. Let's wait and see what happens." Zhu Wudao.

"Okay!" Lu Zhishen nodded.

"Tomorrow I will go to the hall to pay respects to the Hunjun of the Great Song Dynasty. I am afraid that the third prince of the real woman will also pay respects to the Hunjun at the same time. Hehe, this is very interesting." Zhu Wudao.

"Hmph, the third prince must be a dude!" Lu Zhishen said.

"The Kingdom of Jin is different from the Great Song Dynasty. Their princes are not dudes. Most of their princes have experienced battlefields, which is extraordinary." Zhu Wu shook his head.

The two chatted for a while, Zhu Wu stood up and went to the window, looking at the scenery in the distance.This Honglu Temple is located in the bustling area of ​​Bianliang City. The scenery outside is also extremely beautiful. There are attics everywhere and pedestrians everywhere, just like the one described in the famous work "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Zhu Wu was thinking about things, and after a while, he said, "I'm going to visit Cai Jing, the Grand Master of Song Dynasty, and other important ministers."

Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What are they doing here?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Wu's face, and he said, "Gift!"

Lu Zhi was deeply surprised: "A gift?"

Zhu Wudao: "The officials of the Song Dynasty are greedy for money and incompetent. As long as the gifts are delivered, they will speak for us! The real women don't understand this truth. They must be tied up when they come to Bianliang City. Get what you want!"

Zhu Wu clapped his hands, and several Liangshan soldiers brought in a box. Zhu Wu opened the box, and immediately the room was full of jewels!Strings of pearls, a pair of huge yuma, and countless other treasures, these were originally the treasures of the Liao Kingdom's imperial palace, and now they have been carried here.

"There are so many treasures, the governor is really willing to give up!" Lu Zhishen exclaimed.

"The great governor has the world in his heart, so how could he care about such a little treasure? Only a subjugated king would care about treasure, but after gaining the world, he can have whatever he wants. If he loses the world, even if he has treasure, he can't protect it." Zhu Wu said lightly.

In history, many subjugated kings were greedy for money. Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty would rather die than hand over the gold and silver in the inner palace for military expenses!The same is true for the relatives of Emperor Chongzhen. When Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang City, the soldiers in Luoyang City had not been paid for several months. The defenders in Luoyang found King Fu and asked King Fu to contribute some gold and silver, but King Fu was unwilling. , Later Li Zicheng broke Luoyang City, and all the millions of taels of gold and silver treasures treasured by King Fu belonged to Li Zicheng!Later, Li Zicheng was very surprised. He really couldn't figure out what those royal relatives thought.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The royal relatives only value their own interests, so they are short-sighted and unwilling to pay the same price as sesame seeds, but in the end they can't keep anything.

How could Wu Dong make such a mistake, and how could he care about a little bit of gold and silver?Even if he gave away all the gold and silver treasures in the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom, he would be willing if he could keep the Song Dynasty from getting involved in the war in the north.

Soon Zhu Wu and Lu Zhishen left Honghe Temple, and they went to the Grand Master's Mansion accompanied by Zhao Mingcheng, the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple!

Unexpectedly, after they arrived, Cai Jing did not meet them at all.It turned out that Cai Jing liked to guess the emperor's mind the most, but now that the emperor's mind is unclear, it is inconvenient for him to meet the Liangshan envoy.

Cai Jing thought that Liangshan's envoy would leave soon, but his housekeeper kept coming in to report, which surprised Cai Jing.

"How did Liangshan's envoy benefit you?" Cai Jing called the butler in and asked.

"My lord, damn the little one, they gave me a hundred taels of gold." The butler said.

"It's really generous!" Cai Jing was taken aback.

One hundred taels of gold is no small matter. If a first-rank official does not accept bribes, it is impossible for him to earn so much money in a year!How could he not be surprised that his housekeeper got so much gold in one day?

"My lord, they said it, and they also prepared a great gift for you!" the housekeeper said flatteringly.

"In this case, then I will meet them." Cai Jing thought for a while, and finally decided to meet the Liangshan envoy.He was the head of civil servants in the current dynasty, the most famous power minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the head of the six thieves. His greed far surpassed others.Although there are already countless treasures in his home, he was immediately moved when he heard that Liangshan would send him a "heavy gift".

Soon Zhu Wu and Lu Zhishen came to Cai Jing, Cai Jing directly ignored Lu Zhishen, and he was looking at Zhu Wu carefully.Zhu Wu was originally just a failed scholar, but later joined Liangshan and became an important figure in Liangshan.He glanced at it, and felt that there was nothing remarkable about Zhu Wu, except that his eyes were brighter, and he was just an ordinary student.In the whole world, apart from Song Huizong, I am afraid there is no one who can make him fall in love with.

Zhu Wu is also looking at Cai Jing. Cai Jing is almost 80 years old, and he is already very old, but this old man has been in charge of the Song Dynasty for 20 years. It is this person who assisted Song Huizong to completely destroy the country of the Song Dynasty!

What this person is best at is squandering. He keeps squandering and squandering all the money of Song Dynasty. His purpose is just to please the emperor and stabilize his power!At the beginning, when he had just become the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he immediately put forward a slogan of "Feng Heng Yu Da". The meaning of this slogan was to make the court and palace of the Song Dynasty magnificent. Yue was completely defeated by him!In order to show "Guangle and wealth", he suggested that Song Huizong cast Jiuding, build Mingtang, and repair Fangze. In order to build Tiancheng and Shenggong Bridges, he made a large-scale construction and used 40 people on both sides of the Yellow River.In order to solicit money, he publicly sold his officials and nobles.

In the past 20 years, the Great Song Dynasty began to go downhill continuously, but his personal wealth increased more and more!Outside Bianliang City, the area of ​​the manor he owns exceeds 50 mu!Every year on his birthday, officials from all over the country will send money to congratulate him, which is called "birthday plan". At the beginning, Ruan Xiaoqi and others robbed his birthday plan, so they went to Liangshan.

Zhu Wu secretly sighed in his heart, but with a bright smile on his face, he saluted Cai Jing respectfully.

"Mr. Zhu, please sit down quickly! I was in the imperial court, and I have heard of Mr.'s name before." Cai Jing forced a smile on his face.

"Small people in the mountains, what's the point of talking?" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"Why did you come to see me?" Cai Jing said.

"Our governor has heard for a long time that the grand master is the pillar of the country. He has long wanted to get to know the grand master! This time I came to Bianliang, and he also asked me to bring you a gift for the grand master!" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

After Zhu Wu finished speaking, Lu Zhishen had already opened the package he brought with him, and countless treasures appeared in front of Cai Jing immediately!

"Good stuff!" Cai Jing suddenly stood up and exclaimed.With his eyes, he can naturally see that these are rare treasures, which are generally only found in the palace.And some things are special products in the north, even the Song Dynasty Palace does not have such things.Everything here is worth a thousand dollars, and he stayed there for a moment.

"Does the grand master still like it? Our governor also said that no matter what the relationship between Liangshan and the court will be in the future, he will appreciate you very much for the grand master! In the future, even if... we conquer the world in Liangshan, he will guarantee the grand master Your glory and wealth!" Zhu Wu said slowly.
