    Outside the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty, it also looked like a construction site.  In the shocking incident on the night of February 2nd, although there was no massive burning or looting of the imperial city, tens of thousands of people gathered together and mounted cavalry. After tens of thousands of people were defeated, they ran around to escape. The Royal Road Square outside the imperial city, together with  All the buildings in Xuandemen were damaged.  The Imperial City was the face of the Song Dynasty. Since it was broken, it naturally had to be repaired.  However, compared with Xiao Yan, who had more people and money, he used a huge momentum to build a large army to garrison the camp outside the south gate.  These repair projects outside the imperial city are very pitiful.  Xiao Yan wants to organize and train a new army, disband and resettle so many Dumen Imperial Army.  At least this year, Xiao Yan will not take any less of the food and salary allocated to the Forbidden Army.  The princes of the political affairs hall are really afraid that Xiao Yan will use money and food to mobilize the demobilization of the forbidden troops and what will happen again. When hundreds of thousands of the forbidden troops are demobilized next year and it is difficult to reunite, Xiao Yan only has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands and his own position is stable.  Talk about cutting down this huge expenditure.  Although I feel that giving Xiao Yan money and food is a bit like drinking poison to quench his thirst, he still has to squeeze out a considerable part of the already scarce treasury, and the food and salary for the foreign military town must not be less. At this time, it is necessary to win over these people.  When the military leader can compete with Xiao Yan.  The Yongning Army of the Western Army had not yet expressed anything. The military pay, grain, grass, silk, cotton and linen, and military equipment that should be allocated were all planned and distributed quickly through various transshipments.  Once the money is spent, the three treasuries will be able to run away, and the fiscal revenue for summer and autumn will still be a few months away.  In this way, even if the new king takes the throne, he will still have to make some improvements to the new dynasty's atmosphere.  But how much money can the princes of the political affairs hall come up with?  In addition, Zhao Kai, the new king, does not have much prestige, so his husband, Xiang Xiang, who is now in charge of the political affairs hall, tries his best to serve him, even though Cai Jing started his career by catering to Zhao Ji.  I am too lazy to do it at this time.  Outside the Imperial City.  There are only a hundred or so small workers.  The ground was being mended lazily, and there were a few figures carrying plaster on the walls of the imperial city.  Compared with the lively atmosphere of the new Shenwu Changsheng Army camp in the south gate, it seems a bit deserted.  Within the imperial city is another center of power in the Song Dynasty, the Political Affairs Hall.  It turns out that after Zhao Ji came to the throne, the monarchy of the Song Dynasty strengthened to an extent unprecedented since the founding of the country.  The political hall no longer has the authority it once had.  But now, the monarchy of the Song Dynasty has shrunk to the extreme.  The political affairs hall is presided over by Cai Jing.  He controlled all the general affairs of the Song Dynasty. As long as Xiao Yan's military power was not used, he could almost make decisions in Bianliang without saying a word. If he was in a good mood, he would go to Zhao Kai's place for a formality. If he was in a bad mood, Cai Jing would not even say hello.  Even when Cai Jing was at his most prosperous, his power was not even 10% as powerful as it is now.  Outside the Political Hall, there were many civil servants with their heads swaying everywhere.  I don¡¯t know how many officials are waiting, asking for an audience, reporting something, receiving official documents for approval, or asking for instructions.  Put it before.  Even if these scholar-bureaucrats did not talk and laugh loudly, they would communicate in low voices.  Bustling like a market.  But at this moment, everyone outside the political hall was watching with eyes, nose, nose and heart, respectful and solemn as if they were distinguished guests, just waiting for Cai Jing's call.  "At this moment, the military officials in Bianliang did not dare to take a breath in front of Xiao Yan.  Then the civil servants, officials, and bureaucracy are all the same in front of Cai Jing.  Cai Jing's power was so great that after several ups and downs, everyone thought he was a washed-up figure waiting to die. Unexpectedly, he reached his peak after a shocking change that no one expected!  Although Cai Jing showed great restraint towards Xiao Yan, a rising power minister, and for the time being he mainly focused on appeasing and cooperating. Last time, Xiao Yan went crazy and brought in an emperor and a prince. Many civil servants and officials killed hundreds of generals who had been passed down for many years.  The head of a family member.  Now Xiao Yan has stronger strength, and no flaws are exposed for a while. If he gets anxious and makes him go crazy again, no one in Bianliang can bear it, at least.  But for the civil servants and officials, Cai Jing was not polite at all.  Although he never killed anyone, and he never sent a few people to the misty land of Lingnan, he still saved the lives of many civil servants in Xiao Yan's hands.  However, there are countless people who have promoted close friends, purged dissidents, and taken away and dismissed countless people.  Political issues are often personnel issues, and Cai Jing did his best in this matter without any scruples.  The person who offended him in the first place simply wanted to seize your birth certificate and leave you alive to go home and become a villager in the capital of Guizhou.  But for those who still want to be an official and are reluctant to bear the status of a scholar-bureaucrat, how can they not bow their heads in front of Cai Jing and dare not take a breath?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~ While waiting respectfully, I saw a purple-robed civil servant and several Yuan followers coming straight to the political hall.  Seeing this purple-robed civil servant, the civil servant's head, which was waiting outside, suddenly dropped as if it had been blown by the wind.  This purple-robed civil servant has a face like a crown jewel and three strands of black beard, and he has a good appearance.  It was Cai You, the eldest son of Cai Jing.  He looked full of ambitionSeeing his appearance, he walked straight forward, turning a blind eye to the civil servants in blue and green robes who were bowing to his left and right.  Several people with decent status came forward to greet Cai You, and they all said they were Mr. Cai.  But Cai You just waved his hand: "I have important things to do, so I can't stop for a moment. Forgive me, forgive me." He was polite in his words, but his demeanor was that he didn't even bother to return the favor and just passed by the person approaching.  All I have to do is look at people through my nostrils.  When Mr. Cai passed by, everyone looked at each other and murmured in their hearts: "You are crowned a monkey! After your old and immortal father passes away, how many days can you still be prosperous based on your ability? I'm afraid others will swallow you up."  There won¡¯t even be any bones left!¡± Speaking of which, Mr. Cai is indeed not popular with people in Bianliang.  Needless to say about his ethics, he has always been known as a professional in selling his teammates.  In fact, integrity is not a big deal, but in official circles, integrity is often just a cloud.  Those who are capable and uphold their integrity are all famous ministers who can be recorded in history books. They have been rare for thousands of years.  As long as you have the ability, you can be like a fish in water.  But Mr. Cai has neither moral integrity nor ability.  Whatever was put into his hands, he would just mess it up.  But I can't stand it, Mr. Cai just has a good father.  It was originally planned to be placed in the Privy Council to carry out the imperial decree. After the sudden change on February 2, the Privy Council became Xiao Yan's territory.  Stay out of the way.  My father is the leader of the class of civil servants.  Power not seen in decades.  Mr. Cai's mood immediately became high, and he set his sights on the position of Chief Counselor of the Political Affairs Hall.  Cai Jing still knows how to recognize people. If his son is placed next to him as his deputy, he will only bring trouble to his family again.  Mr. Xiao Cai did not bother to give him other honorable and leisure positions.  I had no choice but to use the name of Hanlin bachelor as a official dispatch of the Zhengzheng Hall, and then talk about it perfunctorily.  No one cares about how to correct the official affairs of the political hall.  Although you are not allowed to take large ginseng.  But Mr. Cai's life was quite nourishing during this time.  Many people who were killed or implicated in the February 2nd Incident always had to find ways to maintain their family background, keep their jobs, or simply sell themselves out and change careers.  This path often ended up at Mr. Cai, who was supported by everyone, collected a large amount of money, and served by beautiful concubines and maids. For a while, Cai You even gave up thinking about fighting for the position of the great ginseng.  He was so powerful in Bianliang.  One word can make a person live, and one word can kill a person.  Cai Jing didn't come to keep him in check.  Let the family last for a hundred years.  A sufficient team must be established.  Now is the time to desperately recruit people. Cai You is willing to use this strength just to relieve his father's worries.  As for how much benefit is collected, it is all small details.  And aren¡¯t they all the Cai family¡¯s property?  Of course, the people on guard duty outside the political hall knew Cai You and welcomed him in respectfully.  Cai Jing is on duty every three days, and today is the right time.  In the official hall where the country's highest government affairs are conducted, a Hu bed is placed.  Cai Jing just leaned on the bed with his eyes closed and listened to the respectful reports from several counselors and political officials on various matters.  There are actually beautiful maids present to serve Cai Jing, either pinching his legs, or bringing him ginseng soup, spit pots, food boxes and other practical utensils.  Yingying and Yanyan were surrounded by the purple-robed high-ranking officials.  The deputy prime ministers of these countries turned a blind eye, their faces were as pink as skulls, and their conduct was comparable to that of eminent monks.  Several people were discussing some matters regarding the new king's accession to the throne, and they had a lot of arguments.  When Cai You came in, he heard Cai Jing making a final conclusion with his eyes closed.  "This change of Yuan Dynasty cannot be delayed any longer. Comparing several era names, Jingkang is better. In the past few years, some Jiangnan food demons caused rebellion, or hundreds of thousands of troops were used to pacify Liao Dynasty, and there were even changes in the imperial city. In fact, it was  It¡¯s not peaceful, I¡¯m getting old, but I hope the world will be peaceful and peaceful. The name of Jingkang is perfect, and it¡¯s just to please me, so it¡¯s it.¡± Several political advisors immediately loudly accepted the order and stood in high clogs.  He got closer to Cai Jing and asked again: "What should I do about the suburban sacrifice?" Cai Jing grunted: "The scale should be smaller. How many soldiers will be used to guard the suburban festival. Where is the Prince of Yan County?  You will naturally talk to him and try your best to support him. Prince Yan has many things to do, and it is enough to send two or three thousand soldiers to guard the civil and military officials. Those below the seventh rank do not need to join in the fun.  , Just pray silently at home. As for the reward for the suburban festival This is difficult. Let's use the money from the spring river management first. All rewards will be 90% of the money from the Beijing officials and 50% from the foreign officials.  It's a tough time." Gao Gao nodded in agreement, but was muttering in his heart.  Since the financial situation has become increasingly difficult in recent years, the reward for suburban sacrifices has always been five yuan.  The foreign officials did not lose any points this time, but the Beijing officials took all the deductions.  It's obvious that the husband's intention is to win over the foreign officials. Even if the officials from the capital have opinions, can they still make waves under the hands of these two strong men, Cai Jing and Xiao Yan?  "In today's world, how many people used to sharpen their heads and wanted to get into Bianliang, but now Beijing officials are not as good as foreign officials.  Where does this make sense?  Cai Jing¡¯s words were all spoken with a certain tone, and he didn¡¯t even mention that he was currently in Yanfu.Zhao Kai in the film.  None of the officials in the political hall took it seriously.  Zhao Kai is indeed too insignificant. As a king, he does not have any personal team.  All the power was given to Cai Jing and Xiao Yan.  And if something happens in the future, it's hard to say whether Zhao Kai can still be at the ninth level.  Everyone here has nothing to be loyal to Zhao Kai.  Gao Gao had just finished receiving the order when he heard the sound of footsteps. He turned around and saw that it was Cai You.  The eldest young master of the Cai family is the only one who can enter the political hall directly without going through any communication.  Gao Quan was very polite and greeted Cai You: "What are you doing here, Ju An?"  He said, "Scholar Cai is a rare person." Cai You returned the gift sharply, then walked to his father's bedside, pretending to whisper, but deliberately letting everyone hear.  "Dad, there is something important. Please keep everyone away, and I will report back to you in detail." As soon as these words came out, everyone present could only talk about him, pretending not to hear.  Some were more cautious and prepared to resign to Cai Jing first.  The Cai Family Yamen, who is already quite old, looks depressing when he looks like a villain, so it is better to stay out of the way.  Cai Jing had his eyes closed all the time. At this time, he slowly opened his eyes: "We are all from the imperial court, and our status is far greater than yours. With my father entrusting me with my heart, what can't I say to you? Arrogant!" Cai You told the old man  Dad choked and could only force out a smile.  He stood up and said: "Military reports came from Hedong, and they went straight into Xiao Yan's camp. I have already found out, but it was Xiao Yan who sent troops to the Yunnan states and recruited the Jurchen army! His family is unstable in Hedong, God knows what will happen  The Jurchen army will not be seriously injured. This Nanlaizi is his Hedong army horse. How can this not be great news? " As soon as these words came out, the air in the political hall suddenly became tense.  It is not surprising that Cai You found out this news. There is no secret to keep in such a big event.  Xiao Yan's newly trained Dumen Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is far from monolithic, and some people must be hedging their bets.  Cai You's belly can't hold two ounces of sesame oil, so it's only natural for Baba to come and offer the treasure.  But what matters is how much trouble is involved behind this news!  The situation in Bianliang Dynasty had just begun to stabilize, and Xiao Yan had such a major event that could shake his foundation.  This Prince Yan's enemies can be said to be everywhere inside and outside the court, and I don't know how many people want to attack him.  But the fangs of Prince Yan are also sharp enough, and everyone has learned about them.  Once we fight back, God knows how much bloodshed will ensue?  Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Cai Jing¡¯s face to see what he would say.  Cai You looked cheerful, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Xiao talks about his own affairs and goes to his own house. There are changes in Hedong. Didn't he train a new army? Send him to lead the troops to save his own property! It's justifiable.  What else can he say? Bianliang is not a place where he can settle down. He must be willing to go with the flow and go to Hedong to become a vassal town. As long as this southerner leaves Bianliang, there will always be a way to manipulate him!  How long can he hold on? If he refuses to leave, his belongings will be destroyed in Yunnei River. What's the point of staying in Bianliang? He will die if he advances, and he will die if he retreats. "  Cai Jing suddenly slapped Hu's bed hard: "Stop! How can you easily discuss the important ministers of Prince Yan's country? You are frivolous and confounded, don't do this! You don't have to do this anymore. You don't have to go back to your house to think about your mistakes.  Stop. Don't leave the house without someone's order!" Cai You was suddenly startled: "Dad" Cai Jing waved his hand, and his subordinates naturally stepped forward and asked Cai You out, who was still unclear about the situation.  .  Cai You couldn't help but look back, and now he still couldn't figure out what he did wrong today.  When Cai You asked him to go out, Cai Jingcai gave a bitter smile: "Quinzi is still ineffective at his age, and I am tall. The Cai family will be in trouble in the future" Several political advisors couldn't stand their ground and stood up one after another.  , there was an outpouring of praise and prayer, almost praising Cai You into a flower.  Cai Jing closed his eyes again and waved his hand to indicate to the others to sit down.  Everyone looked at Cai Jing and did not dare to speak.  After a long while, Cai Jing said calmly: "There is no need to mention this matter. It is up to Prince Yan to decide on his own. It is the responsibility of the Xifu in the first place If anyone stirs up trouble in private and does any harm to Prince Yan, I will not get through here!"  Do you understand?" Everyone looked at each other and stood up to salute: "Dare you refuse to obey the order of the Prime Minister?"
