Chapter 356: Cai Jing's Transformation
Yan Yun was in danger, and Zhao Ji was also very worried about whether to use Ning Fu to lead the troops.
Cai Jing and other ministers quarreled below. Xu Jiang and others firmly believed that only Ning Fu was the most suitable to lead the troops, but Cai Jing and others firmly disagreed.
However, Cai Jing and the others did not have any other better candidates. The only suitable Zhang Feng was too old and could not lead the troops at all.
In the end, a minister was stunned and suggested that Zhao Ji lead the army to fight in person, just like Emperor Zhenzong of Song.
As a result, Zhao Ji was so angry that he scolded the other party. He always regarded himself as a literati and was always very repulsive of military affairs. How could he lead the troops himself?
Moreover, Zhao Ji had been to the northwest before, and knew the dangers in the army. When he was in charge of the rear, he was already scared to sleep day and night, let alone to come to the battlefield in person, so Zhao Ji would not go to the imperial commander to personally fight if he was beaten to death.
"Everyone retreat first, I need to think about it!"
Finally, Zhao Ji suddenly waved his sleeves and said impatiently.
When Cai Jing saw Zhao Ji angry, he immediately shut up. Xu Jiang wanted to say something else, but he was pulled by someone, so a group of ministers sued.
As soon as he left the Chuigong Hall, Cai Jing immediately found Lu Jiawen and asked, "Brother Wangzhi, what are you trying to do?"
Cai Jing asked Lu Jia, mainly because the other party was the first to mention Ning Fu in front of Zhao Ji. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be such a big quarrel in the court.
"King Cai calms down, I am also thinking about the overall situation. After all, in this situation, can you find a second person who is more suitable to lead the army than Ning Fu?"
Lu Jiawen asked back with a righteous look on his face.
"I have so many talents in the Song Dynasty. Is it because Ning Fu is missing? Is it because the country is not in a state?"
Cai Jing still said unwillingly.
"Don't say such an angry thing, actually, letting Ning Fu lead the troops is also a good thing for you!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiawen suddenly lowered his voice and said to Cai Jing.
"Good thing?"
Cai Jing was stunned, not understanding what Lu Jia asked meant?
"You think, if Ning Fu leads troops this time, he will definitely lose his reputation. You can do whatever you want, and he will never have the possibility of turning over in his life!"
"What if he wins?"
Cai Jing asked again with his eyes wide open.
"It's better to win, think about it, the government is now very afraid of Ning Fu. Many people outside say that Ning Fu has made great achievements and is overwhelming. If he wins another battle, what will the government think?
Is there still a way out for Ning Fu to survive?”
Lu Jiawen said the last time that he had a gloomy smile, his eyes full of murderous aura.
"It makes sense!"
Cai Jing was stunned and then exclaimed.
In fact, with Cai Jing's talent, he should have thought of this for a long time. But he hated Ning Fu too much. He was angry when he heard Ning Fu's name and could not think calmly.
"So, Cai Jing, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as Ning Fu leads troops to Yan Yun, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not have any good ending!"
Lu Jia asked and added again.
"I understand, I don't think about this matter!"
Cai Jing let out a long sigh, then patted Lu Jiawen's shoulder with a smile and said.
"The so-called people in the authorities are confused. Mr. Cai, you just care too much about Ning Fu, so you didn't expect it for a moment."
Lu Jia asked, and said again with a smile.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly hurried out from the Chuigong Hall, and immediately stepped forward when he saw Cai Jing and said, "Mr. Cai, the official family, please come over and discuss matters."
"I'll go right away!"
Cai Jing immediately agreed, and said that, looking at Lu Jiawen and smiling, then turned around and entered the Chuigong Hall.
Looking at Cai Jing's back as he entered the hall, Lu Jiawen's smile suddenly became calm. After a moment, he whispered: "Smart is wrong by intelligence. Is it someone like him?"
After Lu Jia asked, he shook his head. At this time, his mood seemed to be very good, so of course he left humming a small song.
Cai Jing returned to the Chuigong Hall, but found that Zhao Ji summoned several squads and was playing Cuju with him. This was Zhao Ji's habit. Every time he encountered something upset, he liked to kick a few balls.
"Gao, then!"
When Zhao Ji saw Cai Jing come back, he immediately kicked the ball to Ban Zhi. The opponent turned his legs and stopped the ball steadily. Even Cai Jing couldn't help but shout, "Okay, after all, he also likes Cuju."
He can tell at a glance whether the kicks are good or bad.
"Mr. Cai, you see, I have talents around me. Unfortunately, the rules in the officialdom are too great and I cannot directly appoint them as officials. Otherwise, Gao Jing will be enough to serve as the Grand Marshal. How can Ning Fu be needed at that time?"
Zhao Ji took the towel handed over by the palace maid, wiped the sweat channel, and kicked the ball a few times, and felt much more depressed.
Cai Jing didn't know how to answer when he heard Zhao Ji's words for a moment. Ban Zhi, named Gao Jian, did kick a good ball, but fighting is not a football player. How can such a person lead the army?
Of course, Cai Jing just thought about these words in his heart and didn't dare to say them.
"Yan Yun is in danger. Xu Jiang and they suggested sending Ning Fu to lead the troops. I always feel a little worried!"
After Zhao Ji wiped his sweat, he talked about the serious matters. He did not let Gao Jian and others retreat, but talked about national affairs in front of these guards.
"I also feel worried, so I have been opposing it just now, but..."
Cai Jing first followed Zhao Ji's words, but deliberately paused halfway.
"But what?"
Zhao Ji asked in an interview.
"But I just went out to calm down and suddenly figured out a problem!"
Cai Jing suddenly clapped his hands.
"What's the problem?"
Zhao Ji frowned. He didn't like others talking to him like this.
Cai Jing observed his expression and immediately saw Zhao Ji's impatientness, so he hurriedly said again: "I suddenly thought that sending Ning Fu to lead troops is actually beneficial to the officials!"
Cai Jing did not mention Lu Jia's question at all in his words, obviously he wanted to take all the credit on him.
"What do you say?"
Zhao Ji still doesn't understand what Cai Jing means.
"People please think, Ning Fu leads troops to fight. If he is defeated, then he will lose his prestige. At that time, the government can punish him anyway. Even if he wins, there is no need to worry. Di Wuxiang is still afraid.
Is it just Ning Fu?"
Cai Jing smiled proudly at the end of the conversation.
Di Qing also had great military achievements at the beginning, but was eventually forced to death by civil servants. The main reason was that the Song Dynasty court promoted Di Qing openly and secretly. On the surface, Di Qing was honored, but in fact he lost his military power.
For a general who started his military achievements, losing military power is equivalent to rootless duckweed, so in the end the court can handle Di Qing anyway, but he doesn't even have the ability to resist.
