On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, at the third hour of Xu, the residence of Cai Taishi of Bianliang was held in the guest room of Cai Taishi's VIP.

It has been two quarters of an hour since the two top and powerful figures of the Song Dynasty sat on the chair until now.

The time is not long, and the modern hourly system is 28.8 minutes.

In the first part of the story, both of them were nourishing their energy, doing nothing, and there was no exchange of words.

Only when it was two times, the two simply exchanged a few words and determined how to deal with Zhang Shangying.

Dealing with a minister, especially a minister who loses power, is like beating a dog who falls into the water, although this person was quite troublesome in the past.

Of course, there is no need for two people to do this kind of dirty and tiring work. They have both subordinates, and there are two, and they can do different tasks.

One is affiliated with the imperial court, such as Tong Guan's "candle shadow" and "axe sound".

Another type is affiliated with the family, so Tong Guan doesn't care. His personal follower is mixed with those special operators.

Cai Jing is different. The Cai family’s personal bodyguard has always been very secretive and unknown.

Otherwise, after years of ups and downs in officialdom, Cai Jing had the style of making enemies everywhere, and he would not be defeated or cut down.

As for Cai Jing's public protection, that would be great. He had a great influence on the armed forces of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

It would be no problem to create hundreds or thousands to protect him.

According to the separation of civil and military affairs set up by Taizu, they restrained each other, and the civil servant leadership system stood there, preventing him from directly mobilizing the army.

But if he wants to hire people, the emperor will cooperate. After all, the emperor still relies on him to manage the court, so what if there is no security guarantee?

However, there was a special agency in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Privy Council, which was professionally in charge of military affairs, and normal military mobilizations must be passed through them.

If this is really necessary, it will naturally not be difficult for Cai Jing. He can issue a transfer order through the emperor.

But in this case, it takes time, and sometimes it even lasts for a long time. After all, there are many links, so there are many procedures, so it is too late to be in a hurry.

Also, there are some personal plans for this kind of thing.

It is not easy to let your plans be faithfully understood and implemented in detail by those who are doing the following. It is not easy to communicate with them and understand them accurately.

They don’t have the special ability of Tong Guan.

Since dealing with Zhang Shangying is a business, it is better to leave it to Tong Guan’s subordinates.

In fact, Tong Guan had arranged for effective operators to take action before, and this most effective operator was Ying Yi.

Being able to figure out what the emperor means to kill the result the emperor wants before the emperor says it, this ability is not to be overwhelmed.

So Yingyi has been out for a while.

As soon as the two of them finished talking about dealing with Zhang Shangying, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was Ying Yi.

I guess he was watching secretly and seeing the two of them come to an end. This time happened to be when he interrupted and came out.

Tong Guan was used to it, and Cai Jing was secretly shocked.

This VIP reception room is of course the place where he has the most tight defense, and those guards who are secretly escorting are not sure who Yingyi is.

Naturally, Cai Jing also knew that he did not instruct anyone to let him in.

Because he didn't know Ying Yi was coming either.

But this shadow was like entering a nobody's land, not alarming anyone, and suddenly appeared on the spot.

If this shadow is an assassin, Cai Jing's ten heads will fly away.

Yingyi showed his figure and ignored Cai Jing, the master, and directly reported to Tong Guan.

Even with Tong Guan, he is not polite and straightforward.

"Report to Master Zhang Shangying has left."

Tong Guan frowned and said, "You went to the Zhang family mansion to arrest people. Have you checked thoroughly?"

Yingyi: "Yes! No mouse will run away."

"Your surveillance officer didn't find it? Why not report it early?"

Ying Yi: "They didn't stop for a quarter of an hour, but the gate of the courtyard disappeared without opening, as if they were flying in the sky."

Tong Guan said: "Continue to investigate me! No one can escape the person you are targeting by Zhuying."

Ying Yi's body shook slightly, and disappeared from the spot again.

Cai Jing looked at me enviously and couldn't help but say, "How do you practice this technique? Can you let the guards they teach me to learn?

"My guards are pretty good, but their body skills are as stupid as bears."

Tong Guan agreed very happily: "Okay! Brother speaks, and I will do it naturally.

"But there is a premise that Yingyi and the others are all eunuchs, so they are as light as swallows and have free body movements... because they have no worries.

"Brother, do you still want to continue? The premise is that you have no worries?"

Cai Jing asked suspiciously: "Just cut that knife to lose weight like that?"

Tong Guan said: "Yes, it's just that weight loss is so easy. With one knife, you will be as light as a swallow.

"Just like me, I will have no worries in the future. Will you do it if you do it?"

Cai Jing hissed with a toothache: "This is a worry-free thing, that is, you can do it, and you are a very special person who does extraordinary things, so I'd better forget it."

He was worried that if his subordinates became eunuchs, they might ask him that the person in charge would also be eunuchs, just like Tong Guan.

Although he was so old that he became a real eunuch, he was unwilling to become a eunuch.

He looked down on eunuchs, otherwise he would not have become best friends with Tong Guan.

He just felt that it was not good to become a monk halfway through, so he would do it just like Tong Guan, and he started from a real boy since he was a child.

Although his brother Tong Guan is worthy of my envy of Lao Cai, I also have something that he can't see, such as I have several sons.

When Tong Guan saw Cai Jing’s toothache, he laughed in his heart and said, “Okay! I obey the order, and follow the elder brother’s wishes.

"From the future, if you need a eunuch, please come to me at any time, so I will definitely help you.

“No matter whether it comes from outside or helps you produce it yourself, there is no problem.”

The two then put down the topic of eunuchs and Zhang Shangying, and Tong Guanyou took out several lists, which were exactly what Huizong did today.

Cai Jing picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Your subordinates are so talented! My brother has to accept it.

"I know this was copied, but did you not notice it? This word is written even thinner than the thin gold body of the emperor today!

"Brother, if I had such good handwriting, the emperor wouldn't laugh at me for being fat and iron. I was so angry that my beard had several of them lost."

Tong Guan was also very proud: "The tricks of carving insects are not worth mentioning! Brother, don't be too slandered. Your characters are self-contained and cannot be distinguished from thin gold body.

"Let's talk about the other people on these lists. There are enough people, a total of more than 500 people.

"Will my candle shadow axe be loudly needed to increase the manpower? This is a problem."

Cai Jing strongly supports Tong Guan's idea. Of course, it is not only this. He strongly supports any idea that Tong Guan has, but also thinks that the support is not strong enough.

Because most of the things he needs to rely on.

There was one in front of me, which the emperor mentioned specifically, that was Cheng Yi, who advocated Neo-Confucianism.

In fact, Cai Jing is also familiar with Cheng Yi. As a great Confucian scholar and the leader of civil servants, Cheng Yi is one of the great Confucian scholars and he recognizes it.

What he doesn't recognize is that he always has a unique mind and creates something unique to his seemingly Confucian ethics.

Therefore, even if Cheng Yi supports his continued reform, he cannot let him go.

What's more, the emperor himself doesn't like Cheng Yi. Since he himself doesn't like him, there is no need to keep a move and let him go.

Besides, he is ruined now, and he will prevent him from becoming more and more presumptuous and going to a dead end.

This is for his own good. I, Mr. Cai, are a great man and do my best to do a lot of kindness and righteousness!

So he explained to Tong Guan: "The emperor specifically mentioned that he should pay attention to Cheng Yi's stubborn old master. Brother, please send more people to keep an eye on him.

"If I were to let him be the same as Zhang Shangying, my brother would probably not be able to take care of him anymore.

"I can't tell the emperor about Zhang Shangying for the time being."

Tong Guan agreed and at the same time expressed his plans, each of which had at least one candle shadow officer staring at these more than 500 people.

The people who sounded axe were on standby at any time. When they saw someone with signs of bad behavior, they immediately took action to interrupt their rebellion.

After all, this involves many departments, and the newly added people cannot come in handy immediately, and people need to be selected for training.

This plan is temporarily put on hold.

However, the two discussed for a while and felt that it was safe and that the border was not open, so they could transfer the operators stationed on the border back.

They monitor the movements of the enemy country. Since there is peacetime, there is no need to waste manpower there.

The two of them weighed the matter briefly and decided to withdraw half of their hands from the border and come back to deal with the internal treacherous slander.

This deployment became one of the important reasons why the enemy invaded later, and the enemy situation in the Song Dynasty was unclear and the response was in trouble.

At the same time, Ying Yi was at a loss outside Zhang Shangying's huge house.
