Chapter five hundred and ninety eight: what
Chapter 598: What
The Grand Tutor became ill, and the news spread like wildfire and became more and more intense. Such a person suddenly fell ill, which made people dare not believe him. He was in power for twenty years, disgusted for twenty years, and even cursed for twenty years. How could he say that he became ill after illness?
In fact, before this, everyone speculated that Cai Jing's physical condition would not last for a few years. However, at this time, news suddenly came out, which made those who were confident were a little out of defense.
At first, he was just said that he was sick, but later, he generally believed that Cai Jing had died soon. It is said that last night, several famous doctors in the city were called and shook their heads and sighed. In the morning, the imperial doctors in the palace also went to check on the disease, but they also sighed.
First, he was ill, then he coughed up blood. All kinds of rumors were roughly the same. Some people have made a conclusion that the Taishi would definitely not survive this year.
While many people were celebrating each other, a miracle happened. Early in the morning, the sedan chair at the entrance of the Cai Mansion stopped steadily at the middle gate without any obstacles. Then someone saw several people from the Cai Mansion supporting Cai Jing out. Cai Jing got into the sedan chair and went straight to the gate.
There was also news from Menxia Province that Cai Jing was still working under the Menxia Province, but he was still coughing and looked sick. Later, someone heard earth-shaking news that the Grand Master had thrown into Menxia Province's handkerchief, which was indeed bloody and coughed out.
Someone immediately sorted out the context. The Grand Master was looking back and trying hard to support him. When he was there, he was bullied like this. If he was not here, he still didn't know what the situation of the Cai family was. So he fought his life and had to maintain it. No matter what method he used, he had to hold on. At this time, he could not get sick or retire. It was difficult to get rid of the tiger, and it was easy to get out of here!
There was also news from the Cai Mansion that several houses in the Cai family were separated, staying all the way in Bianjing, and taking the canal boat on the other way, heading south to Fujian Road and back to their hometown.
This is another thing that is mentioned by consulting the political situation and the public. Everyone has already felt that Cai Jing is already leaving a way out for himself and is making final plans for the Cai family.
This news spread like wildfire and was eventually destroyed, because in the following days, Cai Jing still supported his body to the Ministry of War, and Cai Tao still went to the Ministry of War. Although he didn't know when he would stretch his legs, it was meaningless to use it repeatedly every day.
However, the officials in the court have already started planning and the new party will change their ranks. Cai Jing's disciples have suddenly changed their minds. No matter what, everyone knows that when Cai Jing falls, it is time for liquidation. If he doesn't plan ahead, he will not be able to continue to do so.
The court was similar to the world, and the most deficient thing was fence-bearing. Cai Jing's many disciples submitted memorials, all of whom were talking about the drawbacks of the new policy and criticized Cai Jing's national policy. Some even brought gifts directly, went to Duke Wei, Duke Qiguo, and Shen Ao's mansion, which was quite a bit like selling himself.
The suspicious Bianjing is not necessarily different. The only difference is that the person who used to speak suddenly stopped talking, but the person who used to dare not speak had confidence. The new party and the old party have fought for decades, and you have finished singing and I will appear. At this critical moment, another group of people will be replaced.
Some people are still circulating, saying that a few close disciples of Cai Jing went to visit Duke Wei County. Cai Jing was in the mansion and vomited three liters of blood, and suddenly became unconscious. The people were mysterious, but they believed that their right-hand assistant suddenly fell into trouble. Not to mention that it was Cai Jing, even if he was himself, he would have to vomit blood.
However, despite vomiting blood, Cai Jing was not dead after all, and he still controlled the center of the Song Dynasty and the disciples.
The residence of the Prince of Penglai is like a dragon every day, and there are all people who pay homage to him, greet him, and give him a name to the sect. There are also shameless people who have named him and have a name to the sect. Even the scoundrels write: "The sect of the sect is a lackey."
There are many people who sell themselves and rely on others, and they don’t feel ashamed. As the matter comes to this point, why are they pretending? Now the real useful words of the Song Dynasty are really the prince. Looking at the power and majesty of others, they are three streets ahead of the Taishi.
Chen Ao only ordered to block these people, and did not say anything serious. He went to the Martial Arts School and the Honglu Temple as usual every day, and ignored the rest. Someone mentioned Cai Jing's affairs to him, and he was just stunned and said, "The Grand Master is so sick. If he has the chance, Xiao Wang would go and visit him."
He said it was a visit, but never left. Just kidding, Chen Aozhen went, and Cai Jing didn't dare to see him. Maybe Zhuge Liang was angry with Zhou Yu for three times, and it might not be necessary to make him angry to death.
The recruitment of new lieutenants in the Wubei Academy is even greater than before. Fortunately, Shen Ao didn't have to interfere in everything, so he let the instructors and doctors go. However, Honglu Temple has been going diligently these days. The Honglu Temple has been busy recently. The envoys from the South China countries need to take care of them, and the Khitans have also frequently asked for support from the Song Dynasty. There is no support, but spiritual encouragement is not missing. Chen Ao will never push back the Khitan envoys for their requests. As soon as he came up, he comforted him with kind words and said: "Please rest assured that the Khitan king, I will prepare for war in the Song Dynasty and will go north sooner or later."
Then there was no further information. As for how to go north and when to prepare for the war, he did not mention anything, that is, when is the time, and when is the time to go north, only God knows.
In other words, "Song and Liao are brotherly countries. The lips are lost and the teeth are cold. The Liao Kingdom cannot be safe for a long time, and the Song Dynasty will also suffer. I will report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to allocate food, fodder and weapons. In any case, the Liao Kingdom must be fully integrated."
However, there is still no further information. When will you report to Your Majesty? Did Your Majesty agree? How much food, fodder and weapons are going to support? He blew up and said, "Don't worry, I have a great reputation. I will do it when I say it, wait less, wait less."
This little stay is indeed wonderful. There are at least one month or two, and at most ten or twenty years. This is the case with the so-called profound Chinese characters.
The Khitan envoy really had no choice but to deal with him, but he couldn't ask too much. He had also inquired about the temper of this Chen Siqing. He turned against him when he said that, and turned against him when he turned against him. He would have to waste his life if he said that. The Khitan envoy could only face the Khitan court and fight with Shen Ao.
There were new trends in the Xixia side. The envoys of Xixia had already arrived, and they asked the Song Dynasty to send a prince to recruit brides. Xixia is also a great country after all. Since it is recruiting brides, of course, the more people they want to go, the better. Even Tubo side also sent people to invite them. Anyway, they just join in the fun. If they can come, they will add color to the Xixia side.
So seeing the palace hesitation, the envoy of the Western Xia was a little anxious. After several urgings, he asked the Song Dynasty to make a decision as soon as possible. No matter whether it was a cat or a dog, he had to take one back and hand over the errands.
Chen Ao had a few times to deal with the Western Xia envoy, but he ignored it. What happened? Your princess was clearly looking for relatives. She would eventually marry to the Jin Kingdom. She really thought that everyone was an idiot. There was no need to participate in the Song Dynasty.
But the envoy of Xixia was also a fool. He insisted that Chen Ao could speak with the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Seeing that he ignored him, he screamed in his heart. Later, after hearing the translation, he became smart all of a sudden, prepared a gift, and visited him in person.
Just next to the main hall of the Penglai County Prince, Chen Ao drank tea lazily, glanced at the Western Xia envoy, and looked at the Mingtao and said, "Qirivajin... What kind of thorns? What's the name? It's so twilight."
The Qiliva Golden Thorn was the clan name of this envoy. After being ridiculed by Chen Ao, the envoy immediately smiled and said, "In Xixia, only the most precious guests can use the clan name. The lower envoy is called Li Yong. If the prince is not used to calling him, he will just call him Li Yong."
"Li Yong?" Chen Ao looked him up and down and said, "Your face is wide, not long."
Li Yong didn't know what Chen Aoyi meant, and smiled embarrassedly: "Prince, the envoy brought some local products, please accept them with a smile."
Chen Ao became interested and said, "I have collected all kinds of local products, but I have never seen them in Xixia. Take them to take a look."
Li Yong smiled even brighter and clapped his hands. An entourage immediately came in with a piece of felt embroidered with complex patterns and said politely: "Prince, this is the best felt in my country. The envoy brought thirty pieces to offer them to the prince."
Chen Ao looked up and down and immediately lost interest. He said to Liu Sheng beside him: "Go, then put it on the floor and look at the felt, you can make a carpet."
This kind of felt was originally used to mat the bed, even the King of Xixia, which was also used. Unexpectedly, Chen Ao used it to cushion the foot. Li Yong's smile disappeared instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, you..." He suddenly stood up and wanted to scold him. Unexpectedly, at this time, six or seven Chen Ao guards in the hall held the hilt of the knife, and with a clang, he pulled out half of the knife, and looked at Li Yong with a fierce look.
Li Yong suddenly lost his temper. Chen Ao is famous all over the world. Li Yong also heard about what he did. If he didn't lower his head today, it would be impossible to kill your head. It would be worth it. Li Yong was also a native of Xixia after all, and he was also a tough person. Xixia people were brave and fierce, but he also knew that the number one warrior in Xixia was not scary, and the Jin army across the desert north of the pass was not scary. The most terrifying thing was Chen Ao. If you say you cut you, you will cut you. After you finish it, you will say: "What a pity that a Western Xia man." Then... Then there was no further details, nothing happened, as if nothing had happened. Even if Xixia wanted to raise troops to avenge, Tong Guan was guarding the three northwest sides. Both sides fought for decades, and they both won and lost each other, and no one could get a advantage.
Li Yong gritted his teeth, hugged his fists and said, "Prince, I will say goodbye." He withdrew angrily.
After coming out of the Prince's Mansion of Penglai County, Li Yong became more and more angry as he thought about it. When he returned to his residence, he immediately wrote a letter of nationality. The general idea was that since the Song Dynasty was unwilling to send people to participate in the recruitment of marriage, we immediately went back to report his life. He didn't want to stay in this Song Dynasty for a moment. In the past, at least someone was around him, but now he stretched out his smile, but was slapped back by someone. Since they didn't want to send people, let's go.
