Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Seeing Cai Jing, an old fox, shaking his head and looking regretful, Ximen Qing immediately had the urge to go up and slap him in the face.

Can't you speak well?Why do you have to sell it?

However, Cai Jing is the grand master after all, no matter how maverick Ximen Qing is, he can't beat this old guy up in the grand master's mansion; for Cai Jing, Ximen Qing has some plans, but it's not time to explode.

"What does the grand master mean by this?" Ximen Qing pretended to be surprised: "Please enlighten me!"

Sure enough, the old fox saw that Ximen Qing was playing tricks, and made a look of contemplation, and then slowly said: "Brother Chuuxue is amazing and talented, but it's a pity that he didn't come from a scholar background, and he has been promoted to the extreme right now. body, the old man will definitely do his best to ensure that his virtuous younger brother will be prosperous and prosperous, and his wealth is indescribable."

After Cai Jing finished speaking, there was a slight look of expectation in his eyes looking at Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing thought to himself, what the old fox said was really good, he is now at the end of the Imperial City Division, so he can't push Jiawang Zhao Kai away, and become the Imperial City Division by himself?Even so, it's just the end of the fourth-rank official, and he can't even wear the scarlet robe of the third-rank official; if he really has fame, with the credit for exterminating Tian Hu, he will be promoted again and again, maybe he has already been promoted by now. Sent somewhere to guard the border.

But when the old fox mentioned this, and this kind of look, there must be something waiting for him.

This is to slowly lure brother into the trap!

Ximenqing smiled secretly: "The grand master didn't know that there is a problem with being an official. He has a headache when he reads a book, so he never thought about taking the Jinshi exam, and he couldn't do it; now he only wants to abide by his duty in the Imperial City Division and serve as an official. Share your worries."

"What a good one sticks to his duty!"

Cai Jing was shocked by Ximen Qing's reaction, but his face showed admiration.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid that he would already be full of gratitude and show his loyalty with great courtesy?

Cai Jing's original idea was to show Ximen Qing a golden road to promotion and fortune. As long as Ximen Qing took the bait, what was a mere Jinshi?Cai Jing only needs to say one word, and things can be done properly; after that, Ximen Qing will become a general under Cai Jing's banner, and will handle affairs for Cai Jing.

Among Cai Jing's own eight sons, the eldest son Cai You is the most unpromising, and the two have fallen out; , not only for himself, but also for his son Cai Tao.

But what I didn't expect was that Ximen Qing refused to say anything, and even said that "you get a headache after reading the book", which blocked Cai Jing tightly.

"King Jia has a subordinate like a virtuous brother, so the operation of the Imperial City Division is naturally stable." Cai Jing praised again, and changed the topic without a trace: "I wonder what the virtuous brother thinks about the current situation in the world?"

Ximen Qing smiled secretly, cupped his hands and said, "I have such a humble opinion, what can I say? I will listen to the grand master's opinion with all my ears!"

Cai Jing nodded slightly, pondered for a while before saying: "Now Tianhu rebels have been wiped out, the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, this is the prosperous age since the founding of our Great Song Dynasty!"

This old fox is indeed the usual "peaceful and prosperous age", so it's no wonder that Liang Shicheng and others want to start here to deal with Cai Jing.

"However, there are Xixia and Tubo in the west, and Liao and Jin in the north." Ximenqing frowned deliberately: "With these neighbors who have malicious intentions, I, Song Dynasty, must always be on guard."

Cai Jing said with a chuckle: "My dear brother, you don't know something! These are nothing more than trivial matters!"

"I would like to hear the details!" Ximen Qing saw that Cai Jing took these things as trivial matters, and there were really no big things in the world that day.

"With Tong Taiwei here, there are frequent good news from the west, and the Xixia Tubo will destroy the country sooner or later, why worry?" Cai Jing said triumphantly: "The Liao Kingdom is my brother's country in the Great Song Dynasty. What is there to worry about? Besides, the Jin Kingdom was originally nothing It is only the Jurchen under the rule of the Liao Kingdom. It is said that the whole family together is only tens of thousands of people. Now they are making trouble in the north of the Liao Kingdom, and they will be wiped out sooner or later! Even if the Liao Kingdom has evil intentions, their vitality will be severely damaged by then. How can they have the energy to attack? "

Speaking of this, Cai Jing, the old fox, threw out another sensational theory: "My Song Dynasty is a great country and a state, favored by the world, with endless blessings, and a country for thousands of years!"

Ximen Qing didn't know whether the old man made such a statement on purpose, or if he really thought so, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This peace is only a few years away!

But as soon as Cai Jing finished speaking, a sudden response came from outside, the voice was quite young.

"What a country of ten thousand years!"

Ximen Qing seemed to hear the voice familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while, but saw Cai Jing jumping up from the chair at a speed that the elderly should not have, and saluted outside the door: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Damn it, the Crown Prince Zhao Huan just walked into the courtyard without even saying hello. He really regards the Grand Master's Mansion as his own home!

Ximen Qing also stood up, and saw a young man about the same age as King Jia Zhao Kai slowly coming in, with the same face of pretending to be old, isn't it the current prince Zhao Huan, and later Song Qinzong?

Jingkang shame, Jingkang shame, is the first reign of Zhao Huan after he ascended the throne!

It's not the first time Ximen Qing met Zhao Huan, he had already met once when he was in Baihualou, but at that time Zhao Huan concealed his identity and traveled with Gao Yanei... It was really fun with the people!

"Your Majesty has seen His Highness."

Zhao Huan came in with his hands behind his back, and saw Ximen Qing nodding his head slightly to signal: "So the Imperial City Envoy is here too! The Imperial City Envoy exposed that Lin Lingsu and sent him to prison, it's very satisfying!"

Ximen Qing recalled that this prince, like King Jia, believed in Buddhism, no wonder he looked down on Lin Lingsu, and Zhao Huan even didn't attend the ceremony.

"It's all under the official's job!" Ximen Qing said with a smile, "It's also the responsibility of the Imperial City Secretary!"

"Oh?" Zhao Huan gestured for Ximen Qing and Cai Jing to sit down with a smile that was not a smile, but he took the seats and sat down with a grin: "The third brother is in charge of the imperial city department, and he has made a lot of credit. !"

What Zhao Huan said was that he was somewhat disdainful of the fact that Zhao Kai didn't do anything, but relied on Ximen Qing for a lot of credit, and there was actually a hint of wooing him.

"Could it be that I have really become a sweet potato?"

Ximen Qing laughed to himself. It's hard to comment on this brother's quarrel, so he could only say in a flat tone: "It's all about sharing the worries of the officials, and credit is not the primary goal."

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Huan laughed suddenly, pointing to Ximen Qing impolitely and said, "This king likes your attitude! How much credit is it for killing Tian Hu? Luneng, that Captain Gao will lift your shoes for you None of them are worthy!"

Zhao Huan paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are wronged by working under the third brother! How about following this king...?"

"Your Highness..."

Cai Jingdu couldn't help but remind him.

Doing so...is too abrupt!

But the Crown Prince held his hand in an old-fashioned way, not allowing Cai Jing to continue talking, and fixed his eyes on Ximen Qing, waiting for a reply.

From Ximen Qing's point of view, this posture almost made him feel like he was in a dark society movie.

"Your boss treats you badly, why don't you follow me! The ones that are popular and the ones that are spicy! Get a lot of money, and you can buy any local or foreign horses!"

Ximen Qing was very suspicious of what kind of books Zhao Huan was reading all day long, and what kind of people were around him. It seemed that even Cai Jing had some headaches.

But for this kind of child's trick, Ximen Qing had the answer without thinking: "Your Highness is flattering you, and you will be demoted."

It is not a flat refusal attitude, but it is a nail that is neither soft nor hard.

Cai Jing gasped. Ximen Qing might not know the crown prince's temper, but he knew it too clearly. As the crown prince, he personally tried to win him over, and Ximen Qing didn't give him face, he was afraid that he would explode on the spot.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Huan slapped the table and said with a laugh: "It was originally a joke, but the Imperial City Envoy cared!"

Then he turned around and asked Cai Jingdao: "What were you two discussing just now?"

Cai Jing was slightly startled, and said what happened just now in a concise and concise manner. The crown prince laughed and said: "The grand master is right, what kind of tricks can you make of Xixia Tubo, Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom? If the emperor allows , this king personally leads an army of 50 troops to attack the east and the west, and within three years, they can be beaten to pieces!"

50 troops!

This crown prince really regards war as a joke!Treat Liao, Jin and other countries as paper!

Take the Liao Kingdom as an example. Regardless of its territory or economic strength, it is actually not inferior to the Song Dynasty. Although there is a peace treaty between the two countries, it is the momentum of Ma Fang Nanshan, but the Jin Kingdom is encroaching on the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Entering a state of war, it is not difficult to gather 80 to [-] troops.

What's more, 50 troops?The monthly rations and military pay are astronomical figures, not to mention that the battles outside the country for many years must take turns.

It is estimated that if the crown prince really took 50 people to the expedition, if he did not meet the enemy, he would flee [-] first.

Faced with this kind of thinking, Cai Jing knew that it was unreliable, so he could only say: "Your Highness has lofty ambitions, but this kind of thing must be done by the leading general. Why should Your Highness take risks?"

Cai Jing's words can be regarded as echoing, and it can also be regarded as secretly pointing out the irrationality of this idea.

"Of course Father will not let me lead the army." Zhao Huan laughed and said, "But sometimes I really want to experience the feeling of riding horses and swords!"

For people like Zhao Huan, Ximen Qing couldn't help but slander: It's not that you don't have a chance, but when the time comes, you will be escorted all the way north by the golden men, and you won't be able to return to this hometown even after you die.

Since this guy wants to play, then give him a chance to play!

"It's not impossible." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Isn't it enough to draw troops from the imperial army and let His Highness lead the team to practice?"

Zhao Huan shook his head regretfully and said: "It doesn't feel like a thousand troops...Forget it, it's meaningless to stay here, this king is gone."

The crown prince came out of the blue, and left as soon as he said, leaving Cai Jing and Ximen Qing upside down here.
