But Zeng Bu miscalculated! Because he didn't see the essence of Cai Jing at all! This is a monster! It was a master who was born from a series of bloody and dirty filthy after 0 years, from fighting for the glory of faith at first to fighting for the grudges of the party later...

There is no more principle in Cai Jing! Because he has witnessed the good ministers like Wang Anshi being dismissed; the sages like Sima Guang are ruined and almost cannot even keep their graves; the literary masters like Su Shi are scattered for life; the elders are like Fan Chunren and are declining in old blindness; the party leader like Liu Zhi is exiled to death; the strong minister like Zhang Dun is also turned over and fell off the horse... There is no question of safety, so why do you say that you are glory and wealth? These examples deeply stimulated Cai Jing, so he transformed and sublimated...

Cai Jing's appearance was not accidental. He was the ultimate product of the escalating party struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty for 0 consecutive years!

People need to save themselves, and heaven will save them. Before Zeng Bu thought about promoting Cai Jing, Cai Jing had already launched a self-rescue action. To be honest, he was afraid! He was demoted to Hangzhou, which is beautiful. It was already considered the world's largest scenic spot in the Song Dynasty, and it was the capital for nearly 150 years in the Southern Song Dynasty. Before Yuanyou, this was the terminal station for demotion, and Su Shi had been here more than once. But after Yuanyou, this place was just a foot board. Most of the ten people who were demoted here would quickly go on the road and go further to the ends of the world...

Who dares to say that Cai Jing is different and can wait for his official position in Hangzhou to be restored? So you have to save yourself! Heaven fulfills your wishes, and the opportunity is here! As long as you seize it, you will have hope of returning to Beijing! But this opportunity... If you really have to do with this, even if you become the prime minister in the future, someone will point at the backbone and scold, which will make future generations unable to raise their heads!

What is the opportunity? It's very elegant. The eunuch in the palace came to Hangzhou City to choose famous calligraphy and paintings for the new emperor. Speaking of calligraphy and paintings, looking at the world at that time, even Su Shi, Cai Jing was enough to rank among the top three! With Cai Yuanchang's ability, whether he was in charge of himself or helped to choose, the eunuch would get the best among the best and return with a full load...

In this way, Cai Jing can satisfy the eunuch, the eunuch can satisfy the emperor, and the chain of interests rotates, Cai Jing's future is bright! But the future is really great. As mentioned earlier, this will be infamous, and Lord Wen Yanbo is the previous example! He just gave Song Renzong's beloved concubine Zhang Meiren, and was kept talking about it in the prison of Song Zhezong's Tongwenguan, which was regarded as a historical stain of the Wen family!

How can I bear this? When an official in the Song Dynasty, the most important thing is reputation! But how much is the money worth today? Looking at the 0 years of the empire, the more famous it is, the more sewage it is poured, and the most persecuted. Neither party has escaped, and they are all among the victims!

Cai Jing had already figured it out, fame is the most useless and hypocritical thing in this era! I don’t want it! What I want is enjoyment!

And all this must start from this opportunity! Cai Jing took up twelve points of energy and accompanied the eunuch to search around Hangzhou City. He dug out a lot of the ruins of masters scattered among the people. He also strived for excellence, used all his skills, created more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings, and asked the eunuch to bring them into the palace... Cai Yuanchang had full confidence and used his works to impress the new emperor. In terms of politics, he knew very well in terms of painting and ink: After Su Shi died, he was a legend of living! And even his political enemies could not deny this...

The eunuch returned with a full load, and after returning to Beijing, he realized how correct the works he brought back to Cai Jing were. As one of the best Chinese literary talent in all emperors throughout history, Zhao Ji had long been collecting Cai Jing's works - it is recorded that when Cai Jing was the official in Beijing, two managers waved their fans to cool off in the hottest days of the dog days. Cai Jing was very satisfied and happy for a moment. He wrote a poem by Duo Fu on their fans. Cai Jing forgot about a small matter, but after a few days, the two managers suddenly had a brand new coat and were full of joy. I heard that their houses had been redecorated... After asking, I found out that Zhao Ji, the king of Duan at that time, bought and collected the fans with tens of thousands of yuan...

In this way, it was a matter of getting Cai Jing's joints, but suddenly it was beneficial to the eunuch. He did a good job and had great ability to do things. He focused on cultivating it!

From then on, this eunuch entered the officialdom of the Song Dynasty and became the confidant of Song Huizong Zhao Ji! In the near future, the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty will be determined again and again. To a certain extent, the impact he had on the Song Dynasty was greater than that of Cai Jing!

The eunuch is named Tong Guan! Tong Guan is a eunuch of origin. He has been superior to others in the huge eunuch community because of his master...

Eunuchs, this is a very special group of people. They are essentially just slaves, but in terms of function, it is really terrifying! What men with normal functions can do, they cannot do, but they can do things that men with normal functions can't do.

The most glorious era of eunuchs was in the Tang Dynasty. The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty could decide the emperor's life and death at will. The eunuchs of the Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty killed ministers in batches like slaughtering workshops. This was unprecedented, but in a work that was most important to the country, they were far inferior to their colleagues in the Song Dynasty - the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were fighters among eunuchs of all dynasties! They were armed eunuchs!

During the Northern Song Dynasty, eunuchs had outstanding contributions in the army. Not to mention the distant ones, everyone should definitely remember Li Xian, the eunuch of the Shenzong Dynasty! Eunuch Li was majestic. When he was the most glorious, he led his army to the Tiandu Mountain and burned the palace built by the founding emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanhao, to no avail! What a military merit! It is also a major military merit for any famous general!

It can be said that if you want to be a famous eunuch in the Song Dynasty, you must join the army! Tong Guan also embarked on this road, and his master was Li Xian! With this prominent master, coupled with Zhao Ji's appreciation, it can be said that a bright road has been paved at his feet - the battle flag is waving to him, and military merits are waving to him!

Tong Guan was happy and excited, and had greater pursuits. Unlike Li Xian, his greatest ideal was to be a successful military eunuch. Tong Guan wanted to be the ultimate goal in this world - to be a general and a prime minister! To achieve this, Tong Guan knew that he must have a political team, in other words, to find a party...

To become a party, you must at least have several basic conditions: 1. Common pursuits, similar temperaments, similar means, and similar situations... The first three are easy to talk about, and the fourth point is the most important! Without a similar situation, you will not be a party, but a relationship between superiors and subordinates...

At this time, Tong Guan had just revealed his head in the harem, and Cai Jing was worried in Hangzhou. Both of them were eager to gain a foothold in Kaifeng City, which tied them together. In the near future, more and more accomplices will be combined with this relationship, with Tong Guan and Cai Jing as the core, extending their tentacles to every corner of the Song Empire...

For example, the struggle between the new and old parties ruined the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, then the accomplices of the Tong and Cai destroyed everything in the Northern Song Empire!

Now Tong Guan wants to make the first contribution to this small group. Based on Deng Xunwu's "Picture of Love and Don't Help", Tong Guan must continue to work hard and pull Cai Jing back to Kaifeng. For this reason, he even used the old relationship of his master Li Xian, making Zhao Ji's ears seem to be silent all the time, and the same voice sounded - Cai Jing is a good person, Cai Jing is a capable person, and Cai Jing is a elegant person...

In this way, on the 19th day of the first year of Chongning (110), Cai Jing finally returned to Kaifeng Capital after consecutive promotions. He served as a Hanlin bachelor and also studied the national history.

On April 7, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi issued an order: to cut off the coffin and kill the corpse by Yelu Yixin, Zhang Xiaojie, Xiao Delit and others! All the accomplices of the first treacherous minister who participated in the murder of the queen and the prince were guilty! They were exiled to the frontier!

Cai Jing came back, and then joined Cai Jing. Zeng Bu Ren’s power. What is Han Zhongyan? He didn’t use any big moves. He just had a small trip to his daily work, which made Han Junzi burst into tears and voluntarily resign...

On May 6, the Left Master of Shangshu Han Zhongyan was dismissed. On the 5th, the Left Master of Shangshu Lu Dian was dismissed. On the 6th, the Left Master of Shangshu was promoted from Cai Jing to the position of the Secretariat Xu Jiang was renamed as the Secretariat Minister. The Right Master of Shangshu Wen Yi was promoted to the Secretariat Minister. The Left Master of Personnel Zhao Tingzhi was promoted to the Right Master of Shangshu.

On June, Emperor Chongzong of Xia Li Qianshun sent envoys to Liao to ask for marriage.

I got what I wished for. Zeng Bu looked back on his life and kept rising and falling, always standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the sky. Half a step away was the peak of his ministers, but he just couldn't get up! He was so depressed... Now Daquan is finally in his hands, so happy! In order to deeply experience this happiness, he decided to do whatever he wants...

A very ordinary personnel appointment was made, and a man named Chen Youfu was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This matter was really not a big deal. He was just a minister. There were so many high-ranking officials in the capital. What number could the minister be ranked? It should be said that Zeng Bu opened a small business of this level, and his courage was really small. But he fell on this matter!

Cai Jing, known for his zero refusal to serve, had a first time in his life. He accused Zhao Ji of this shameful behavior in an unprecedentedly angry tone. "Can the title and salary of Your Majesty be used by the prime minister to please his relatives?" Chen Di, the son of Chen Youfu, was Zeng Bu's son-in-law, so the two were children's in-laws.

Zeng Bu was angry when he was exposed in public. So he fought back and defended. He chatted endlessly, and gradually became harsh... He fell into the pit! This is what Cai Jing wanted! The more he lost his composure, the better the effect. Just when Zeng Bu was talking about it in a long story, he was suddenly interrupted, "Zeng Bu, how can he get rude when he went forward?" Do you remember how he overthrew Zhang Dun? This sound was so similar to his yelling Zhang Dun in front of Song Zhezong's spirit... Retribution!

The person who scolded was Wen Yi. With this shout, Zhao Ji stepped up and returned to the inner palace. Zeng Bu finished! On June 9, Zeng Bu, who had only been the prime minister for only a month, was dismissed.

Zeng Bu's story ends here, without a sequel. He will not make a comeback like Zhang Dun, reach a higher peak after being exiled, and create the Shaosheng years with his imprint. He will not be like Lu Huiqing, even though the enemy is full of Beijing, he still has high talents and can defend the people on the frontier. Zeng Bu is the most disgusting person in this era, a villain who is truly capricious, goes against his word and has no principles! To some extent, he is the most tragic one in the highest leadership of the old and new parties in 0 years. Even the Yuanyou ministers who provoke the party dispute are much better than him!

For example, Liu Anshi, no matter how bad his political views or how bad his governance abilities are, he has a very firm belief in his own beliefs. I just think that my teacher Sima Guang is right! If I follow this path, even if I torture it, I am willing to do so!

Liu Anshi has experienced 7 of the 8 most dangerous states in the south, including "Chun, Xun, Mei, Xin, Gao, Dou, Lei, Hua", and has left many moving deeds. Due to the limited space, only one of them is listed:

When Liu Anshi was demoted to Yingzhou, a scholar named Lin from Fukang County was ordered to go south to kill him. The news came, and everyone in the city was worried about Liu Anshi, especially the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple where he lived. The Taoist priest was crying while serving the chicken porridge that Liu Anshi must drink every night, saying that the Taoist temple was surrounded by the official army, and when Lin arrived, you will inevitably die... Liu Anshi said sternly, "Why do you need to be afraid of life and death? You become a monk and learn Taoism and see it." After that, he fell asleep. When the porridge was ready, he got up to drink the porridge, wrote a letter calmly, and arranged the fun after his death...

What a courageous spirit! Even the enemy must admire...

On July 5, the day when Cai Jing was promoted to Shangshu Youpushe and Zhongshu Shishu was the most warm and moving moment in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. In comparison, Wang Anshi had too much controversy, Sima Guang had too much negative emotions, Zhang Dun... The sound of teeth fighting below was so scary.

Cai Jing is different. He is the most elegant and kind, and the most reasonable. Overall, Cai Jing's case and his rise to power this time are simply the most white and clean minister in the past decade. He is the only choice for him to clean up the mess that is so chaotic that he can no longer be messed up.

Not only Emperor Zhao Ji believes this, but also Zhang Shangying, the top veteran of the new party, also recognized this. Cai Jing's system of worshipping the prime minister was written by him, which is known in history as extremely praising.

At the beginning of his tenure, Cai Jing told Song Huizong: We must follow the footsteps of the great Emperor Shenzong and Gong Anshi. This will be correct... Zhao Ji nodded.

So on the 6th, the Yuanyou Law was burned. On the 11th, the Lecture and Prose Department appeared. This is a copy of the Three Lessons Regulation Department during the reform period of Wang Anshi. It is indeed very similar. The reform was chaired by this department. But the last one was an additional addition. Cai Jing said: All officials such as the Lecture and Prosecutor made by the Lecture and Prosecutor shall not interfere, nor shall they even discuss!

Haven’t we been fighting each other for so many years? The old party called the new party a villain, the new party a villain, and the old party a villain, and there is no conclusion on how to scold you... Now I’ll give you the end!
Chapter completed!
