Chapter 474: Yingtian's clan seizes power
Su Mei had to temporarily put down her worries. She knew that even if the court wanted to win over the hearts of the people of Yanjing, she didn't want it to be their Cai family, let alone the son who was disobedient to discipline. The mother and son knew that Kaifeng had no way out.
Perhaps this is fate. After the unexpected death of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, he died young, and after the signing of the "Tanyuan Alliance", after Tong Guan brought back a defected Liao man, the State of Song had no way out and had to go north to send troops to capture Yanjing.
Zhao Ji has a smart political mind, and his "six thieves" were not as bad as the world's words. They could feel the huge threat of the approaching north. After Zhao Fujin's warning words flowed into the court, after Yelu Dashi came to respond to the sky for help, Su Mei and Cai Huang already knew Kaifeng's final decision.
Yingtian's festive atmosphere was full, as if no one felt the approaching danger from the north. After the Yuanxi Festival, Su Mei had not left Yingtian yet, and Fujin had not sent Cai Yan's memorial to Kaifeng, so Kaifeng sent a team of generals and the coach came to Yingtian. Yang Sheng, the team leader, also brought Zhao Ji's appointment and a letter from Cai Jing.
Cai Yan locked himself in the study for three consecutive days. Except for Lu Tao’s three meals a day, no one was seen. His strangeness also made Zhao Zizhi, who could not know the letter, and Zhao Zisheng and his royal family were very worried.
On that day, Cai Huang and Zhao Zizhi made some judgments and plans. The clearer they became of his intentions, the more dissatisfied Zhao Zizhi was with Zhao Zisi and others introducing Kaifeng to the young army. Some words were still unsatisfied, especially the fact that the emperor belonged after an accident occurred in Kaifeng.
Cai Yan locked him up, and Zhao Zizhi became more and more anxious. When he looked at Zhao Bohong who was serving him with him, his face was gloomy and let Zhao Bokai serve him, Zhao Bokai was afraid and uneasy.
A servant in green clothes hurried to the door of the cave. Seeing that he was about to whisper to the servant guarding outside the door, Zhao Zi was gloomy and unhappy.
"Get in!"
The servant in green did not hesitate and hurriedly lowered his head into the hall, came to Zhao Zizhi and knelt on his knees and kowtowed.
"Go back to Master, Prince Cai has just summoned a group of generals and brave men in the South Camp."
Listening to the words of the servant in green, Zhao Zishi's heart was slightly relieved, and he looked at Zhao Zi with a dark face and said, "If the Cai family really handed over the young army to us and the court, then the Cai family is still credible."
Zhao Zizhi glanced at Zhao Zishi with a gloomy face, and then looked at the people in the crowd one by one, and was extremely angry.
"I don't believe you even more than Brother Cai!"
Zhao Zixi's expression suddenly became gloomy and said coldly: "What does Brother Seventeen mean? Are we not a person with the surname Zhao?"
Looking at the bastard who stole his official position, Zhao Zizhi said coldly: "Brother Cai reopened the martial arts lecture primary school. I won't say what I said and done in the class. You know more than anyone else. You know what the princess said and worried. You know why Brother Cai built a young army for us. You know everything!"
"snort!"
Zhao Zizhi sneered.
"I really got Brother Cai right. Even if I treat the young army as the first and second divisions of the Nanyang Army, even if the same training is done, the young army is just a waste that cannot be supported by the mud!"
Everyone was angry, and Zhao Zihao suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Brother Seventeen! Are you saying this too much? Everyone just wants to reduce some money investment. Besides, isn't the Nanying training young army also taking sides? Could it be that the coach of hundreds of thousands of imperial guards still can't teach others how to stand?"
Zhao Ziyou, the prince of the Duke of Yue, frowned and said, "Professor Cai's military affairs are indeed different from others, but Brother Seventeen also knows that the descendants of each family are a little younger after all, so how can they lead troops independently in a short period of time? Isn't it still Nanying who gets the benefits in the end?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhao Zizhi looked at the people one by one with a gloomy face and sneered: "Nanying has the young army? I want to ask you, does the Prince Consort's Mansion prevent your mentor from entering the young army? Are there any obstacles to your family members entering the young army? "
There was a strange silence in the hall...
Zhao Zizhi sneered, "Why don't you say it anymore? Oh, by the way, you privately say that the coaches of each family are just guardians and do not know how to fight, so they have to let the court send people to come."
Just as Zhao Ziyong was about to object, Zhao Ziyi raised his hand to stop him, and looked at Zhao Zizhi and said coldly: "The whole Yingtian knows what the daily training in the South Camp is. Even a fool can be like him as he looks. You have said so much, isn't it because you want to dominate the commander-in-chief of the young army?"
Zhao Zizhi's anger kept rising, and his breathing was so heavy that the two half-grown boys on the side were worried...
"Oh!"
"Young Army Commander..."
Zhao Zizhi suppressed his anger and leaned his body toward Zhao Zixu who was separated by a table.
"Zhao Zishi, do you want to control the young army?"
Zhao Zizhi looked at the dozens of old and young people sitting again, and sneered: "There are more than 10,000 young troops, all of them are strong tenants and servants. In other words, even if the Nanying sent some generals to train, the soldiers holding swords, weapons and arrows were from all over us. Without each family, nodding, could Nanying really command the young army?"
"Oh!"
Zhao Zizhi sneered: "Brother Cai said that day that he knew that he was helping to train the young army, and the enemy in the young army's eyes was still Brother Cai, but Brother Cai decided to help us train and equip the young army."
"Why?"
"For Brother Cai, even though he knew that the young army was feeding unfamiliar wolf cubs, Nanying still sent troops to help with training, Brother Cai still personally taught the descendants of each family."
"Why?"
"Why do Brother Cai still help you train soldiers even if you know you are all a group of ungrateful people?"
"Why?"
"because……"
"The young army is my Zhao family's last support!"
Zhao Zi looked at a group of bastards with a big face and sneered: "Brother Cai is very disappointed with the Kaifeng Imperial Army and very disappointed with Zhao Ji. Brother Cai doesn't believe that Zhao Ji can defend Yanjing!"
Zhao Zishi's breathing suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Zhao Zizhi with shock. They knew that the shy guy was closer to the Cai family and knew a lot, but when Zhao Zizhi spoke about Zhao Fujin's concerns again, he was still frightened.
For more than a month, Zhao Zizhi's anger had never calmed down. Thinking about what Cai Yan said, looking at the group of bastards in front of him, the flames in his heart couldn't stop rising and jumping...
"Tong Guan bastard! Tan Zhen deserves to die! The court ordered him to lead troops into Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, but they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Suhu and 200,000 troops. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Cai brothers, they could not even resist the death."
"The 200,000 army even had no chance to resist. Do you really think they could defend Yanjing? Once the 200,000 elite troops were defeated, do you really think that the damn female Naomin will let Kaifeng go?"
"Zhao Ji issued an early order to go north to guard the Cai brothers, but it took two months to go north. Brothers Cai brothers were able to expel 200,000 imperial guards while in Jiangnan. Do you really think Brothers Cai took two months to prepare just to deal with that damn Tong Guan, Tan Zhen——"
