Traitors of the Manchu dynasty, why do you make me an emperor through the ages Chapter 166 The Night of Three! The possibility of Cai You backstab Cai Jing!
Chapter 166 The Night of Three! The possibility of Cai You backstab Cai Jing!
Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You is actually a very capable and scheming person.
This person is also a rebellious character, and even among the "rebellious people" in Daqian, he can be said to be outstanding.
Because others are rebelling against the emperor, but this heavyweight player is rebelling against his own father.
In his previous life, Cai You was a man who knew how to seize opportunities when he was young. When he was working as a supervisor in the Beijing Taiyang Institute, he could catch up with the courtiers to retire every time he went on duty.
At that time, he planned to come out at the right time to meet Zhao Ji, the Duan King of the next dynasty.
The "History of the Song Dynasty" records this: "Every time you retreat from the dynasty, you will be in a good situation. When encountering various obstacles, you will dismount from your horse and stand tall. When the king asked his left and right, he learned that he was the son of Cai Chengzhi and he was kind-hearted."
This Duan Wang Zhao Ji was later the famous Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
When Zhezong died and Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he "remembered him and favored him".
This is the initial history of Cai You's fortune.
With this kind of scheming, Cai You's official position grew bigger and bigger, and eventually he reached the position of his father Cai Jing - prime minister.
But if Li Qian was asked to evaluate this person, he felt that three words were most suitable for Cai You: to be a filial son.
This filial son was initially with his biological father, Cai Jinghe, and Meimei, but later, for unknown reasons, the two sides turned against each other and turned against each other.
Cai Jing's fourth son, Cai Sui, was the most favored by Cai Jing. He often helped the elderly Cai Jing handle various memorials and was also Cai Jing's right-hand man.
Cai You repeatedly reported to Song Huizong, asking him to kill his younger brother Cai Sui, intending to cut off his father's arm.
It is also recorded in "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Bin Tui Lu" that Cai Jing was dismissed as prime minister many times, one of which was attributed to Cai You.
That time Cai You went to Cai Jing's mansion and caught up with Cai Jing talking to his guests. Cai Jing asked the guests to wait.
As soon as Cai You came in, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his father's hand to diagnose his pulse and said, "Your pulse is soothing, and there is no discomfort in your body?"
Jing said: "Nothing." You said: "Forbidden China has official business." He resigned.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The guests on the side secretly saw this scene and were even more confused. They came out and asked Cai Jing the reason. Cai Jing said helplessly: "You must not know the reason. This traitor wants to do it because I am sick." That’s all, old man!”
A few days later, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict ordering Cai Jing to become an official.
There are also records in some historical materials that people secretly laughed at Cai Jing just because he called his son Cai You "gong" in public, which shows that the two sides are almost strangers.
There were many deeds of raising his filial son Cai You. Li Qian felt that Cai You might have problems, but Cai Jing also had many problems.
It is said that it is the fault of a son not to teach his father, but Cai Jing not only turned against his son, but even his younger brother had no good impressions of him, and his wives and concubines even gathered together to give him a hat...
In such a perfect life, just ask who else could have it?
Therefore, as a human being, you must be a loyal minister, and don’t imitate Cai Jing, the traitorous minister, the old green bull...
Of course, Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son have not yet reached the stage of rebellion, but Li Qian feels that the rebellion on a person's head is like perseverance, loyalty, kindness and other dazzling human brilliance, which will never be buried.
Although it is not revealed now, it will appear sooner or later as long as the time is right.
Cai You is such a potential player.
All Li Qian had to do was to stimulate his desires and thoughts...
The three of them returned to the palace all the way. Lu Bu turned around to say goodbye and walked towards the Cai Mansion under the moonlight.
Li Qian didn't stop him either.
No matter what, Cai You exists as a long-term line.
It is impossible to say that if you give him a benefit today, he will help Li Qian to fuck his own father tomorrow.
The events in Xingyang and Bianzhou broke out just recently, so Cai You may not be able to help.
Therefore, what information and evidence Lu Bu can collect is also very important...
Li Qian watched Lu Bu leave, and immediately did not return to the Palace of Eternal Life. Instead, he got on the sedan and headed towards the Sixth Palace.
Today, he was teased a lot by Cai Jing's wives and concubines, which made him a little unable to bear it.
No matter how fragrant wild flowers are, they are not as fragrant as domestic flowers.
The driver quietly came to a stop in front of the Jingyang Palace. Li Qian stopped the old eunuch who was about to shout and walked into the palace alone.
When the maids and eunuchs on duty saw His Majesty the Emperor, they were startled and hurriedly tried to bend down to pay their respects, but they were all stopped by Li Qian.
After a while, he smelled an alluring aroma of food.
Li Qian knew at a glance that Xi Shi must be cooking again.
I worked hard for a long time this afternoon and didn't even bother to eat dinner. I didn't expect that I could make up for it here.
Arriving at the only kitchen where the lights were still on, Li Qian asked the palace maid who was about to salute at the door to shut up, and Li Qian walked in quietly.
Sure enough, a pretty figure wearing a gray linen apron was standing in front of the stove, concentrating on carefully placing a pot of golden tofu into the soup pot.
Li Qian stepped lightly, walked closer slowly, and suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the beauty's soft waist.
"Ah~"
A cry of surprise came, and Xi Shi twisted her body subconsciously to get away, but was tightly framed by Li Qian's arms in front of her. In her excitement, even the plate almost flew out.
Fortunately, Li Qian had quick eyesight and quickly stretched out his other hand to hold it down.
"His Majesty?"
Xi Shi turned around and recognized Li Qian. She felt as if she had lost all her strength. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her soft body collapsed into Li Qian's arms: "Your Majesty, you scared me to death..."
Li Qian laughed embarrassedly, and then immediately took the initiative: "Did you take advantage of my absence to eat delicious food secretly?"
Only then did Xi Shi come back to her senses and she was still cooking. She quickly blushed and got up from Li Qian's arms.
"No, Your Majesty."
She explained in a sweet voice: "Sister Zhangsun came to my place today, and I am the cook for her."
"oh."
Li Qian nodded and looked down at the plate of tofu. Both sides were fried in mutton oil and turned into a bright yellow color. They were wrapped in a thick yellow soup with green peas and bright red carrots floating in the soup. , torn into strips, cooked into soft mutton...
Li Qian's stomach couldn't help but growl.
"My beloved, why is your stomach growling?"
Li Qian complained first and looked at Xi Shi in his arms in surprise.
"Your Majesty's stomach is growling." Xi Shi wiped the soup on the table with a rag, turned her head and said with a sweet smile.
"You still dare to quibble and falsely accuse me?"
Li Qian fiercely hugged the beauty tighter: "Are the wings stiff? Let me check!"
Xi Shi was pretty and pink, twisting her soft body uneasily, trying to get away, but it had the opposite effect, making Li Qian hug him tighter.
"Your Majesty, Sister Changsun is still waiting for dinner in Qiushui Pavilion!" Xishi couldn't help but blush.
Li Qian also knows the importance, so naturally he won't go too far here, he just wants to take advantage of his words and hands.
After Xi Shi served the food and asked the palace maid to carry it, Li Qian walked with her to Qiushui Pavilion.
When we came to the inner room, there were already three plates of fried food on the table, one meat and two vegetables, very simple. A woman with a quiet temperament and a beautiful profile was wearing a goose-yellow palace skirt and was sitting by the window. Peeling pine nuts.
Brown pine nuts fell on the silver plate with a clear sound.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the beauty hurriedly turned her head and said with a smile: "Sister Xi Shi, I will help you peel the pine nuts..."
The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation, and Changsun Wugou stood up in surprise: "Your Majesty?"
As he said that, he walked over quickly.
Li Qian smiled, opened his hands and took the beauty into his arms: "Did you miss me?"
The handsome face of the eldest grandson Wugou was slightly red, Zhendu Capital was a little lowered, but he still whispered: "I want to."
Looking at her shy look, Li Qian's heart suddenly moved.
After rejecting the group of women at Cai Jing's house today, could there be any new progress after returning to the palace?
Is this the legendary reward for good people?
God really has eyes!
Changsun Wugou happened to come to Xishi, so is it possible... to leave them both here tonight?
Li Qian felt that this possibility was very high.
He quietly looked at Xi Shi who was serving rice on the other side, and felt more and more that it was possible.
If he was asked to deal with more than ten or twenty women at the same time, Li Qian felt that he might be exhausted and die.
But it's probably easy to deal with these two.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know you were coming. How about I cook another dish?"
Xi Shi looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It was supposed to be something for two people to eat, but unexpectedly three people showed up.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qian hurriedly stopped her: "That's enough."
"I'm actually not very hungry today."
Of course it's a lie that he's not too hungry. Li Qian is actually very hungry.
But how to say that sentence?
The female goblin was willing to let Tang Monk go, so she certainly wasn't compassionate.
They want to eat more meat.
The same is true here for Li Qian. He actually has a deeper plan for these two tender pieces of meat.
When the three of them eat together, it is natural that Li Qian feels comfortable again.
The two women sat on his left and right sides, busy helping Li Qian pick up vegetables and pour soup, almost feeding him directly.
This meal of dried plums was extremely satisfying.
After dinner, Changsun Wujia said goodbye.
Li Qian looked at her pretty face with a smile and said, "You came to Xi Shi just to have a meal?"
Before Changsun Wugou could speak, Xishi hurriedly explained: "No, Sister Changsun chatted with me for a long time in the past few nights and even brought me snacks."
"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry today?"
Li Qian took off his dew-stained robe again, handed it to the palace maid, and said with a smile: "I'm here and I'm disturbing you?"
"Not so."
Changsun Wugao looked at Li Qian with a blushing face, and then glanced at Xi Shi: "Don't I...don't you want to disturb His Majesty here?"
Xi Shi was still a little confused at first, but after a while, she suddenly blushed and seemed to understand something.
Li Qian, wearing a white silk midfielder, walked up the first few steps with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
"It's good for you to talk more to enhance your relationship!"
"I just ate that much in the evening, so I must still be full, right? I'm going to take a bath first and ask someone to bring you some snacks."
After running outside all day, I have to take a shower when I come back.
"But your Majesty..." Changsun Wugou opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
But Li Qian smiled and put his head next to her crystal ear, and whispered: "Didn't you say last time that Sister Xishi is very beautiful?"
"Don't leave early tonight."
Changsun Wugou's pretty face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.
Although Xi Shi was very curious about what Li Qian said, it was not appropriate to ask more questions in this situation.
"Okay, you guys talk and eat first, and I'll be with you when I come back."
Li Qian smiled and walked to the side room to take a shower. Now that he knew two beauties were waiting for him, he naturally couldn't wait to take a shower.
He quickly threw down his clothes, walked into the tub and scrubbed with bath beans for a while. After rinsing, he wiped his body with a silk towel and walked out the door, giving full play to the short bath time of a man. advantage.
When Li Qian came out wearing a yellow silk bathrobe, Xi Shi was wearing a plain skirt and was sitting on a chair in front of the window chatting and laughing with her grandson Wuguo, who was wearing a goose-yellow flower-and-bird palace skirt.
Of course, this joke meant that Xi Shi kept talking, and although Changsun Wugou nodded frequently, it could be seen that she was a little absent-minded. She picked up peeled pine nuts with her slender green fingers and put them in from time to time. Xi Shi took one in her lips.
Xishi smiled with crooked eyebrows and kept talking about interesting things in recent days, very happy.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.
The sound of the door opening woke up the two women who were talking and laughing. Xi Shi stood up quickly, came over with a glass of water, and handed it to Li Qian.
Li Qian took the tea and took a sip, looking at the almost perfect-looking woman in front of him with a smile.
If it weren't for the blush on her cheeks, one would have thought she was carved from a piece of flawless jade.
"Go take a shower first." Li Qian smiled and pinched the beauty's cheek, and the rosy color suddenly became more noticeable.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xishi immediately lowered her head, shyly responded and left the room.
The eldest grandson Wugou was furious as he watched from behind. He couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, as soon as you came here, sister Xishi forgot about her eldest grandson sister."
Li Qian looked at her little appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud. He also stepped forward and grabbed her weak and boneless hand: "Are you still jealous?"
"How can I dare to be jealous of His Majesty?"
The eldest grandson Wugou smiled tenderly twice and took this opportunity to stand up: "Your Majesty, I have something to do today, so I will leave first."
"Do you still want to run away after falling into my hands?"
Li Qian had been on guard against her hand for a long time. He smiled and pulled hard, and a delicate body like warm jade appeared in his arms.
"His Majesty……"
Changsun Wugao's pretty face turned as red as a ripe shrimp, and he couldn't help but whisper: "This... this is too ridiculous..."
"What's all this nonsense?"
Li Qian held the beauty in his arms, becoming more and more reluctant to let go: "It's just about sleeping together, it's no big deal."
"But..." Changsun Wugu's pretty face turned even redder, what do you mean by just, what do you mean by just??
Are you so careless?
"His Majesty……"
Changsun Wugou still wanted to continue struggling. He blushed, twisted his body, and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "I'm having menstruation. I can't... I can't sleep like that with Your Majesty..."
"If you still want to deceive me, your crime will be increased."
Through the thin satin bathrobe and skirt, Li Qian was gradually aroused, and he smiled and patted the tip of her buttocks gently.
"Don't I know your life yet?"
Changsun Wugou felt the changes in Li Qian's body and was so frightened that his face turned pale and he did not dare to move anymore.
"Go quickly."
Li Qian didn't want to let her go, so he patted the beauty's tender buttocks gently: "Go and wash it too. I'll satisfy your lust. What else don't you want?"
"If you run away in the middle, I will go to Feishui Pavilion another day to punish you."
Li Qian used both threats and inducements, using both carrots and sticks...but not the big stick yet.
Changsun Wugou had no choice but to stand up obediently, curling his pretty red lips, and slowly walked out the door.
"How can this satisfy my lust? How can a woman like me have any lust? It is clearly to satisfy His Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, he received another light slap on the butt.
"What are you talking about?" Li Qian looked at her little appearance angrily and funny.
"Nothing said."
Changsun Wugou hurriedly ran towards the door.
Li Qian leaned back on the chair and wanted to close his eyes and rest, but what happened in Cai Jing's house today, the beautiful face of Xi Shi and the soft and delicate body of his eldest grandson, always flashed through his mind in turn, making it difficult for him to calm down. Come.
But after finally calming down, he started to worry about Xingyang again.
Li Qian was not afraid of problems on his side, he was already somewhat prepared.
Even if all the ministers in the dynasty were to attack him, the worst he could do would be to keep dragging on and slowly grinding away at his job.
But I'm just afraid that there will be problems in the disaster area.
For the sake of the extra prime farmland, those big households and officials might be able to use any underhanded tactics.
Maybe they will also sabotage the construction of the embankment, use various means to spread rumors, obstruct it, etc.
Li Qian attaches great importance to the Yellow River embankment. If it is repaired, will it be a century-old achievement?
The imperial court's grain production will increase significantly, and its dependence on grain from the Cao River will also decrease.
I hope Yan Song and He Shen can withstand the pressure and dirty tricks of those people and carry out this matter thoroughly...
After thinking about it, the door suddenly opened with a creak.
Xi Shi walked in from the door wearing a light gauze with wet hair. There were still two patches of pink on her pretty face, carrying the freshness and fragrance after bathing.
The scent of soap locust and faint floral dew spread to the nose, soothing Li Qian's heavy mood.
He smiled and patted his thigh. Xi Shi's pretty face turned redder, but she still came to Li Qian, slowly sat on his lap, and handed a silk scarf backwards.
Li Qian took the silk towel and carefully wiped her wet hair.
From the root to the tip of the hair, every inch is rubbed. This is a tacit understanding that the two of them have gradually formed over time.
"Have you read carefully the book I asked you to read a while ago?" The beauty sat in his arms, and Li Qian's voice was subconsciously gentle.
"I have always paid attention to what your Majesty has told me."
Xi Shi leaned in Li Qian's arms, squinting her eyes comfortably, as if her whole body was relaxed.
"But when I look at it, there are still many things I don't understand." Xishi raised her head, her big eyes as bright as autumn water still showing a bit of worry.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qian smiled and said: "No one can be born knowing it. It's normal to have people who don't understand."
"I have found a gentleman for you. He will come in shortly."
"ah?"
Xi Shi was startled, straightened up immediately, her pretty face turned red, and she started to speak incoherently: "Your Majesty... why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"How can I meet your husband like this?"
She held the chair with both hands and wanted to go down to find something to wear.
"fine."
Li Gan smiled evilly and took her back into his arms: "It doesn't matter what you wear to see her."
I may have to go without clothes for a while.
"This...Your Majesty..." Xishi suddenly became at a loss.
Seeing this, Li Qian had no choice but to hold her in his arms and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, the husband I'm looking for for you is naturally a woman."
"But..." Xi Shi still couldn't let go, looking at Li Qian pitifully: "Do you have to see her now? Your Majesty?"
Li Qian smiled and pecked her smooth pretty face: "I want to see you now."
At this moment, the door opened with a creak.
The eldest grandson Wujia, who had just finished bathing, was dressed in plain gauze and had a pink face, and walked in from the door.
