Chapter 249: Officials Want to Beat (Part 2)

Many officials in the previous dynasty wanted to be extravagant. Because of the court officials, the harem, the ancestral system, and because everyone was dissuading them, the officials in the previous dynasty were relatively frugal. When Zhao Ji was about to go against, the tough court officials who were qualified to oppose were driven out of the court by force, and the empress dowager who had the ability to stop him had died. The rest were honest and obedient ministers, without the constraints of power and awe, Zhao Ji also began a luxurious life, and Fuyan Palace was the biggest move when he was in power.

In the first year of Chongning (1102), Zhao Ji abandoned the Yuanyou Party policy supported by the Empress Dowager Xiang and instead supported the reform of the Xining Party again. Xining boss Zhang Dun left the court. Because Cai Jing chose to support Zhao Ji when the crown prince was appointed as the crown prince, Cai Jing chose to support Zhao Ji after the big bosses were kicked out of the court, Cai Jing was the only one who could have prestige to preside over the government. In order to enhance the emperor's trust, when Zhao Ji proposed to build the Fuyan Palace, Cai Jing chose to support him and asked Zhao Ji's confidants to build the eunuchs Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He Shu, Lan Congxi and others to build it.

After more than ten years of construction, Fuyan Palace has basically been built. At the beginning, it was similar to the gardens of various major families, including strange flowers and plants, small bridges and flowing water, attics and pavilions, which were very beautiful. However, Zhao Ji was not very satisfied and added some villages, wild shops, teahouses, and wine shops. The emperor could not go out to visit the market. Zhao Ji built a palace in his garden. The palace maids and eunuchs always acted as tea girls, bartenders, and even the palace banquets for court officials. They always chose this place.

The snow was drifting, but the joy and excitement of the Hanxiang Pavilion was gone. The official Zhao Ji sat in the main seat with a cold face. Cai Yan seemed to have a quarrel with him. In Ma Yi Country, the official family was a rich playboy for three generations. After that, there were some idiots in the court, idiots in the official family, and the stupidity of the official family, and now he even smashed his stone and embezzled the fields in Jiangnan that should have belonged to him. I wish I could catch the bad boy and beat the board immediately. Of course, it would be impossible to cut the head. Not to mention that he just said some crazy words. There was also a child sitting next to his left hand and closed his eyes to rest.

Zhao Ji was furious and frustrated, but he couldn't vent his feelings. The officials of the Song Dynasty could not compete with a ten-year-old doll, right?

Suppressing the silk and brocade in Hangzhou, the food turmoil is not a mistake.

To wipe out giant sea bandits at sea, you will have no mistakes.

Run to the Nanyang snake ants, and the smoky land was the foreign origin of the country, and he had made contributions and no mistakes.

He returned Liuqian to Liuqian, found millions of taels of gold for the country, and suppressed Liuqian's rebellion for the country, but he still had no mistakes.

Now a group of royal family members are forcing them to take out five million stags of silver...

After just saying a few dissatisfied words, the officials of the Song Dynasty could not tolerate the ten-year-old heroic son?

Zhao Ji was angry and frustrated. He looked at Cai Jing, who had retired again and smiled bitterly.

"Old Master, if Xiao Wu's servant doesn't study some historical books, I'm afraid..."

Cai Jing opened his eyes and looked at Cai You, the son who was pulling the corner of his clothes. His eyes were full of confusion, as if he was really old and stupid. Cai You whispered a few words, and then Cai Jing clasped his fists to Zhao Ji, who looked unhappy, and said, "What the official said is that Xiao Wu is too arrogant and unruly. A few years ago, the old minister wanted to send him to the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy taught Yu Yanjian to discipline him. However... the official also knew that the kid was messing with the widow in Fanlou, so he delayed a little."

Zhao Ji naturally knew that Cai Yan was making trouble in Fanlou, so he nodded helplessly and said, "The son is just going to be a good student, but what should he do in Nanyang? Who should the court send to Ma Yi Kingdom?"

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, the left prime minister and the envoy of the Privy Council, the right prime minister and the right prime minister and the Privy Council, the mother prime minister Tong Guan, the chief supervisor Liang Shicheng, and the other queen Zhao, the little concubine Liu, the imperial concubine Wang, Qiao, Cui, and the concubine Wang... all looked at each other without saying a word. As for the children of all sizes, they sat upright and did not dare to move.

Cai Jing smiled and said, "The old minister was dizzy and had retired and retired. This is the only thing His Majesty has to think about is safe people."

"It's just... one is the Ma Yi Kingdom, which is not our prefectures and counties, and the other is far away from our dynasty. The third is the military generals under the name of the Nanyang Protectorate, which are different from the army of our dynasty. It's better to be cautious."

Right Prime Minister Zheng Juzhong was secretly annoyed that Cai Jing was unwilling to delegate power after retiring, so he actually recommended Wang Fu Yiyue to the left Prime Minister, which made Zheng Juzhong, who was acquainted with Wang Fu very angry. After hearing Cai Jing's words, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "The old lady means that the generals and brave men under the Nanyang Protectorate Mansion are all people with the two lords in their hearts, or is the Cai family unfaithful to the court?"

Cai Jing lowered his eyebrows and said, "The loyal and wise man of the Cai family are well-known. If Zheng Prime Minister can hand over to the court, he will give millions of taels of gold to the court and give the land and the people in his family. I also believe that the right prime minister is loyal."

"you……"

"snort!"

Cai Jing ignored Zheng Juzhong's anger and clasped his fists to Zhao Ji, who was frowning, and said, "What kind of generals bring out what kind of soldiers? Xiao Wu is strong in nature. The generals under his name dare to rush to the ten-fold river to seek the barbarians with thousands of people. It is difficult for generals to suppress such arrogant soldiers and generals without outstanding military merits. The Zhe family in the prefecture, the Zhe family in Shanxi, and the Yao family are loyal to our dynasty. It is known to everyone in the world. If the official family sent them to the South China Sea before, it is not wrong. But... the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yao family are all generals in the northwest, so it is difficult to adapt to the waves of the South China Sea, and our dynasty..."

Cai Jing shook his head and sighed softly. Everyone knew his intentions and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If you want to suppress the generals under my son, unless the court sends another 100-ship navy to Mayi Kingdom, this is contrary to the court saving the treasury."

"The officials also know that although our dynasty can build a hundred large ships in two or three years, and can also send 100,000 people to Mayi Kingdom, this will cost more than one million yuan from the Ministry of Revenue. It was originally intended to let the stinky boy make foreign money for the country's development. If another army was sent, the court would become a powerful military force and use up the national treasury. Moreover, Nanyang is not as good as our local prefectures and counties, and it will take half a year to travel to Kaifeng. If there is no reliable general, it will be inappropriate."

As soon as Cai Jing finished speaking, Cai You hurriedly said, "I think it is not wrong for the fifth brother to be the guardian of Nanyang. Anyway, the fifth brother is the one who pays his own food and money to support the soldiers, and does not spend a penny of money on the court. As for the fifth brother's studies... it is better for the official to send a gentleman to the fifth brother to teach him."

Cai Jing lowered his eyebrows and knew what the eldest son was worried about. The power of the Cai family came from being able to make money, and Cai Yan could always get money, which made Cai You, who became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, feel uneasy. It would be better to kick the little bastard into Southeast Asia and exile.

Cai You had a good idea, the key is that Zhao Ji wanted to hit Cai Yan hard, and everyone ran to Nanyang, how could he still beat him? Cai Yan showed enough rebelliousness, and Zhao Ji was also worried that what if the boy got older and what if he was really in trouble?

Just when Zhao Ji had a toothache, a small eunuch hurriedly walked in, lowered his head and knelt on the ground and said, "Go back to the official family, Taiwei Gao, Xiao Cai's son-in-law, Deputy Envoy Cai, and Eunuch Huang are looking for a meeting outside."

When Zhao Ji heard the main person coming, he suddenly straightened his body. The atmosphere in Hanxiang Pavilion suddenly became strange, and he looked at the boy who appeared at the door and pressed the knife.

Cai Yan never expected that he would enter such a strange place, saying it was a luxurious Jiangnan garden. Although it was the coldest time at this time, he could see roughly luxurious appearance. Perhaps he did not understand the luxury of this era, or perhaps he had seen more luxurious scenes. Instead, he was not very interested in the most luxurious place of this era. It was just that there were more small bridges, flowing water, rockery flowers and trees. Even the winding pavilion made of the upper layer of wood did not think it was so high-end.

Huang Wengong had been observing him all the time. Seeing him watching all the way, there was no shock or awe of ordinary people in his eyes. This was the case. No matter how unhappy Zhao Ji was, he was very good at beating him and could not cut off his head. As for whether he was not an official, he didn't care. The people in Nanyang were not soldiers raised by the court, but private soldiers raised by grandfather Su Yikun and his mother Su Mei.
