Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth: bear the fart
Chapter 485: Bear with it
There was a tide in the city of Bianjing, and someone was embarrassed by a remote courtyard in Chenfu. This man was walking back and forth in the yard with a fan, frowning, and sometimes raising his eyes. His eyes fell on the sycamore tree in front of the yard. After a long time, he sighed and was silent again.
Nowadays, Chen Ao’s tea shops have a lot of business, and there are more than a dozen stores in Bianjing City alone. These stores can make money, but also have another function, which is to inquire about information.
In places like this, where tea-loving places are circulating, all kinds of news spread the fastest, and all kinds of people have them, so as long as you keep your mind, you will have all kinds of news. Before Chen Ao left Beijing, he was very concerned about this matter. For this reason, he specially selected a group of smart and capable people from the mansion and sent them to various tea shops to record the transcript. After hearing what news came out, the waiter in the store immediately summarized the news to the transcript, and screened out the transcripts that were related to Chen Ao or important things and sent it to Chen Ji in the Chen Mansion.
Chen Ji is an old fox. When the news is delivered to him, he can tell the general truth or falsehood by just a look, and can also distinguish clues from various news. He can screen it. Whenever there is any disturbance, he will immediately send a letter to Chen Ao.
Bian Jing has been too strange these days. Not to mention the three inexplicable memorials in the court, but also the newly released journals of knowledge and knowledge also have some mystery hidden.
The strange thing about the Chronicle of Knowledge is that there must be support from big figures behind this, and there are very few people who can support the weekly magazine in Bianjing City, which is not difficult to guess. In addition, the articles in the weekly magazine are obviously just a sign of their feelings, and Chen Ji has already smelled a strong atmosphere of conspiracy.
When Chen Ji figured it out, he couldn't help but frown and sighed: "This method must be the master Cai Jing's work, it's amazing." At this point, Chen Ji couldn't help but admire Cai Jing. The most terrifying thing about this conspiracy is not that it has such a complex plan, but that it will never solve it. Even because it grasps the pulse of the world, its castration is irreversible.
It was clearly to let the Song army defeat a big defeat, and it was clearly to take advantage of the big defeat to liquidate Chen Ao, but in front of the world, it was a loyal country and a blunt expression of righteousness. Not to mention the market, even Shilin would win many praises. The innermost knot is that no one could oppose it. If anyone opposed it, it would inevitably be afraid of war. So now those memorials and the clericals are just warm-ups. The game was just beginning. When the time was ripe, and then attacked appropriately, the power of the market, Shilin and the court would become a joint force, forcing Chen Ao to fight.
Cai Jing's power is that whether it is the Shilin or the court, whether it is the new party or the old party, his disciples and his political enemies who hate him, he only uses a little trick and obediently becomes his pawn and serves as a pawn for him according to his wishes.
Everything is ready and still lacks the east wind, not to mention that Chen Ao has just taken over the mess of Ma Junsi. He will go to war within three or two months, which is absolutely impossible in Chen Ji's opinion.
Chen Ji sighed and thought to himself that Cai Jing was so powerful that he could not help but worry about Chen Ao. He shook his head and went back to the room to find a blank letter paper pressed with paperweight, dipped in ink and picked up the pen in the air. After thinking about it, he wrote four words: Avoid urgent and endurance.
Then he asked someone to send the letter out.
It was half a month later when this letter was delivered to Chen Ao. Chen Ao's life has been pretty good recently. Early in the morning, he rode his horse to patrol the camps, found a place to have breakfast, and went to the Military and Justice Department to find some free doctors to play games such as playing couples, and solving problems in the Jingyi. He took a break at noon before he officially started to take official duties, and read some information sent by the scouts, as well as the mansions sent by Bianjing, and then sent them directly to the Ministry of War to ask for military supplies without hesitation.
At noon that day, after lunch, he had just sat in the yamen hall, and a personal soldier came in to report that it was a letter from home. Chen Ao said with a stern face: "Dayu is not only a family home. I am fighting on the front line now. How can I read the letter when I work? Well, you don't have to make things difficult. For the sake of your hard work, I will give you face, just take a look and bring the letter."
The personal soldier was a little confused. The imperial envoy paid a visit to the letter, so why did he still have to look at his own face? He smiled embarrassedly: "Sir, I'll ask you to send the letter in now."
The person who came in was Changsui from the Shen family. He carefully bowed to Chen Ao and explained his purpose. Chen Ao told him not to be too polite. When asked about the situation at home, Changsui said, "The family is good, but the mistresses told the young master to wear more clothes to avoid the cold."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child, so I have to give these words in front of others? Okay, give me a letter."
When I opened the letter, I realized it was Chen Ji's handwriting. It was just a word of "Precaution and endurance". Chen Ao frowned and said to Changsui: "What did Mr. Chen tell you when he asked you to deliver the letter?"
Chang Sui scratched his head and said, "Mr. Chen said that when the backyard is on fire, you should be careful of the embankment. He also said that it is good to go with the flow, but it is better to go against the current at any time."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "This is the teacher who has made a puzzle for me. The backyard is on fire..." His eyes turned, and then he understood what Chen Ji said. There were only a few people who could set fire in Bianjing, with his fingers. If something happened to the official family, Yang Jian would have reported it to him for 800 miles. Apart from the official family, only Cai Jing is there!
What tricks does Cai Jing play? And what is the extraordinary time going up against the current, what does this mean?
Chen Ao wandered for a while, only to know that something would happen at that time. Chen Ji asked him to withstand the pressure and do things according to his wishes. But this is clearly what he meant, why did he say that he should be timid and endurance in his letter?
Chen Ao sat there for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help but complain: "Why do you think of a puzzle? You probably have to wait until that extraordinary time to guess what he meant." He felt unhappy, so he asked someone to take a pen and ink and dip it ink on the back of the letter and wrote: "I'm sorry."
Put down my pen and admire my running script. I couldn't help but think proudly: "Students' running scripts are more powerful than those who are teachers, and there are not many in the world." Fold the letter and put them back in place, asking Changsui to go down and take a break first and send the letter back tomorrow.
When playing the puzzle game, Chen Ao was not interested. As for the verbal use of impatience, Chen Ao was not even more interested. In his opinion, it would be better to take the lead if he was tolerant at every step. If he didn't hit me, I would hit me first. That is the greatest principle in dealing with people.
Changsui retreated, but Wu Bi came excitedly and said to Chen Ao: "Brother Chen, I have heard about my father, saying that the Tianyi Sect did not kill him, but just seized him. Haha, as long as my father is still alive, there is still a chance to rescue him."
Chen Ao asked him: "Where did you get the news?"
Wu Bi said: "It was reported by the scouts. A team of scouts caught a detailed work of the Tianyi Sect and sent it directly to the Military Law Office for interrogation. I happened to come over there and asked him a few questions before I got the news."
Chen Aohe nodded: "That's good." After saying that, he cheered up and said: "Since that's the case, we may be able to rescue him by taking this opportunity. I will send someone to the Tianyi Sect in the next few days to recruit them."
"Recruitment?" Wu Bi looked at Chen Ao in shock and said, "Brother Chen, how can this be done? If nothing else, Tianyi Sect dares to detain my father, then he dares to detain the second envoy. They are determined to be thieves..."
Chen Ao interrupted him and said, "The first time he ordered Zun to recruit you was because the conditions given by the court were not enough to attract them. This time, they would not refuse the conditions I proposed."
"I dare to ask Brother Chen what conditions are?"
"Allow them to pay tribute."
"Ah..." Wu pen's mouth was bigger than an egg; allowing them to surrender? Isn't this meant that they had to recognize them as vassal states? Gyeonggi North Road is just a few feet away from Gyeonggi, how could the court be willing to let Chen Ao propose such conditions?
Chen Ao laughed and said, "I am fooling them, don't be surprised. What I need now is time. I first numb these sect bandits and gain some time. Anyway, this condition is released by someone Chen. I will refuse to admit it at that time. What can they do to me?"
It is unprecedented to fool people and be proud of Chen Ao. Wu Bi looked at him strangely and said, "Chen Kei thinks they will believe it?"
Chen Ao said seriously: "They cannot refuse to believe that the Tianyi Sect won a considerable victory a few days ago. At this point, they would be a little arrogant and think that the Song Dynasty cannot do anything to them for the time being. It is natural to put forward this condition. Secondly, although they are arrogant now, they also know that the North Road of Jingji is in the hinterland of our Song Dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and border troops nearby. If they really want to make up their minds to entangle with them, they can defeat our Song Dynasty once, and can defeat the second, third, and fourth time? In fact, their rebellion is also forced to The leader of the bandit suppression was afraid of being punished, but he wanted to save himself. The reason why he was unwilling to accept the amnesty at the beginning was that he was afraid that the court would break his promise and wait for them to disband his troops and deal with them calmly. Now I promised them to build a vassal state, and those worries would become redundant and allow them to enjoy temporary peace. Will they miss this opportunity? So if I expected it, they would certainly be suspicious and suspicious, but as long as we were willing to talk, they would eventually negotiate with us obediently."
Wu Bi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, I think this matter is still contrary to the gentleman's behavior after all."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I only ask the result, never the purpose. The most important thing now is to delay time. As for what kind of gentleman and villain, what does it have to do with me? If I can end the bandits, let me do this villain!"
