Song Shenzong was still seriously ill, and a new round of political games was already in action! Who will be the next emperor? Under whose recommendation? This is the biggest deal in the feudal era! How many people are staring at him with blood! Of course, only individuals can be implemented: Shangshu Left Pushe, Prime Minister Wang Gui; Shangshu Right Pushe, Second Minister Cai Que! This person's division of labor is very clear: Wang Gui is the son of Song Shenzong, and Cai Que is thinking of Song Shenzong's younger brother. Why don't they work together to protect one person? Because they all want to monopolize the biggest deal in the feudal era!

Focus on Cai Que. Mr. Cai was swaying between the old and new factions in the first half of his life, and is now temporarily considered the leader of the new party. Because he is very decisive, dares to act and speak, compared with the "Three-Psychic Guard" Wang Gui, there are many more capable people under him. There are more people who give him ideas. One of them is Xing Shu who is most in line with his appetite, and his ideas make him fascinated... As for the reason? Origin determines everything. The path he has taken is very similar to Cai Que. He first becomes a student of the opposition, and the teacher is Sima Guang and Cheng Hao, who gets enough credits. Then he is a believer of Wang Anshi, find a good job... He has a common language!

Xing Shu firmly believed that wealth and honor were in danger. In response to the current situation, he reminded Cai Que: Although the emperor had a son, they were all too young. The Song Dynasty had brothers and this tradition, and it is very likely to be staged again this time! There are two reasons. 1 The two younger brothers of the Shenzong: Zhao Hao was 6 years old and Zhao Bao was 0 years old, both of whom were the best years. They were of the same father and mother as Shenzong, and that mother was very extraordinary, with the shadow of the old Empress Dowager Du back then...

What's more, these two emperor brothers were very considerate. Since Song Shenzong became ill, they always appeared in the palace and even did not go home at night. Especially King Yong Zhao Hao, this younger brother is the most special and most favored by Empress Dowager Gao! Even Wang Anshi dared to provoke him, and dared to quarrel with the emperor's brother, forcing Song Shenzong to yell "You are the emperor." Such people have the potential to be the emperor...

When Cai Que heard this, his heart was overwhelmed. Well! I like this person. I chose him! But if you choose someone, do they agree? This is to be sure! So Xing Shu took action and found the most critical point - the Gao family! At this moment, the most mysterious and powerful family in the Song Dynasty no longer had the surname Zhao, but Gao!

Xing Shu was very accurate. As long as he obtained the consent of the Gao family, Zhao Hao would definitely reach the top in one step. Even if he himself disagreed, there would be no way. If you want to behave, you can just act it. If you don’t, you can’t do it!

It is exciting to pave the way for the new emperor and help the new emperor to go on the road! One day, Xing Shu found Gao Gonghui, the nephew of Empress Dowager Gao, who was wandering around the city and looking for opportunities to have fun. It's great! Xing Shu came with a very elegant invitation - my peach tree is blooming, and two scholars are invited to visit the palace...

The Gao brothers happily set off. After entering the door, they found that there were no peach blossoms at all. Only Xing Shu's old face, which smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. He said his plan excitedly, and he thought he would fight with a heart-to-heart smile... Unexpectedly, the Gao family disappeared in the next moment, leaving him with a word "You want to kill our whole family." Only then did Mr. Xing return to the taste: What is the identity of the Gao family? Even if you want to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain, there is no need for you, a little Jing official, to lead your nose, right?

But the team supporting the prince is too crowded. The imperial prime minister Wang Gui is in the way. How should this old thing be released? Should he be ranked behind him and be a deputy? Never! At the critical moment, Xing Shu's mind was quickly working and he came up with a very clever way. Even if the prince was first supported by Wang Gui, even if Wang Gui is the leader of the ministers, he must win the first prize!

This matter was too serious, and Cai Que took action personally. He found two helpers: 1. Zhang Dun, the deputy minister of the school. Zhang Dun is a powerful deputy prime minister, and is determined and strong. The chances of winning with him have increased greatly. Especially Zhang Dun is loyal to Song Shenzong, and he will choose a prince to succeed to the throne no matter what. What's even more wonderful is that due to Su Shi, Zhang Dun hates Wang Gui very much and scolds him a few days ago.

Cai Que quietly found someone, who was the turning point in the history of the Song Dynasty! The turning point of the Song Dynasty was in the Huizong Dynasty. The reason why Song Huizong fell was in Cai Jing. Without this person, even if Huizong could not maintain the Qingming hero at the beginning, he would never quickly make the country doomed... Studying Cai Jing, he knew clearly that the officialdom in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but from his ups and downs, he saw the official culture of the Northern Song Dynasty from Shenzong to Huizong in his life, so as to find out the thoughts and chronic diseases that the Chinese have always existed.

Simplified all his complicated resumes, Cai Jing's official career was full of luck and suffering. In 1070, he went to Beijing from his hometown, Xinghua, Fujian, and his younger brother Cai Bian to take the exam and passed the Jinshi. The first person to appreciate him was Wang Gui, the chief examiner at that time. The second person was Wang Anshi. The talent of the Cai brothers was never inferior to the Su brothers in some aspects. For example, calligraphy, political talent. Especially premature wisdom, quality was derived.

Cai Bian. It was 1070 at that time. Wang Anshi presided over the reform and was the most powerful minister of the court. He took a fancy to Cai Bian at a glance and married his daughter to him. Cai Jing almost had a hook with the prime minister at the first moment of his career. This was even more amazing than the top scorer in the exam. However, Wang Anshi was unique. He had strict requirements on the Cai brothers - don’t think of being a son-in-law in the capital, you are still young, so you can go to the grassroots to exercise...

During the nine years when Wang Anshi was in power, the two Cai ran between remote prefectures and counties, and had no chance of getting rich with high officials. However, this had unexpected good results. After Wang Anshi took the lead, both the new party and the old party had a good impression of the Cai Jing brothers, believing that they were ethical and indifferent to fame and fortune, which was completely different from those who were tempted by Deng Wan, Lu Huiqing and other people who were accustomed to the power!

With such an official evaluation, coupled with Wang Anshi's relationship, Emperor Shenzong also had a good impression of the Cai brothers. In the early years of Yuanfeng, Cai Bian became a living servant and Cai Jing became a Zhongshu servant. A few years later, when Shenzong was critically ill, Cai Jing was already the prefectural prefecture of Kaifeng and mayor of the capital. He had great power. Cai Deyi wanted to deal with the prime minister and found him directly. Many complicated inside stories were transformed into two sentences.

"We support the sixth son Zhao Zhui" Jing is "good"

It is true that "we deal with Wang Gui" Jing is "good"

Indeed, "Tomorrow morning, Zhang Dun and I will show off to Wang Gui. You will lead people to guard the window of the Political Affairs Hall. He dares to resist, you will kill him." Cai Jing paused for a very short time, "Okay" and still answered like this.

The above conversation is a bit strange, I believe everyone can see it. For example, why did Cai Que go to Cai Jing? In terms of relationship, Wang Gui is Cai Jing's teacher and a very strong direct relationship in the officialdom. Even Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was very troubled by the time, so he made a palace examination to be a teacher himself and broke up such official nepotism. Why did Cai Que turn a blind eye? It's very simple and has a stronger relationship!

There were many senior officials surnamed Cai in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Cai Que, Cai Xiang, Cai Jing, and Cai Bian. In fact, they were relatives and very close blood relationships. Cai Que and Cai Xiang were the same grandfather, and the great-grandfather of their great-grandfather and the great-grandfather of the brothers of Cai Jing were brothers. If you can't write the word "Cai", compared with this, no teacher is useful!

But there is another abnormality - Cai Jing is too obedient? No matter what Cai Yi said, he agreed. His obedience, not to mention brothers, even superiors and subordinates rarely feel so happy. It is Cai Jing's suffering, and it is also his characteristic. Throughout Cai Jing's life, he had no foundation and no backing. He got tested from the most remote small part of the empire. Even Wang Anshi was interested in his younger brother Cai Bian. If he wanted to climb up, he had to compromise! Cai Jing knew this very well and did not show any sharpness from the beginning. He had enough enthusiasm and thoughtfulness when dealing with everyone. Over time, he formed his unique way of survival in the officialdom - Zero Rejection...

This is a very rare exception. As the saying goes, a person has no steel bones and cannot be secure. Whether in the family or in society, men should have a temper, and women should have a temper, otherwise everyone will bully you. In a word: People who are not good at saying "no" are people who have no status and cannot get status! So what will Cai Jing's future be like? Will he become a piece of dough that can be kneaded by others? These must be seen. What we need to remember now is his characteristic - zero rejection.

But Zero has to have a standard for refusal? Look at what Cai Que wants him to do, that is, he wants him to go to the political affairs hall deep in the palace to kill the prime minister! If this is the case, no matter whether Wang Gui can be killed, or whether King Yong Zhao Hao comes to power or the prince ascends the throne, Cai Jing himself is a definite death! It is obviously a fire pit, why did Cai Jing agree at once?

Don't worry, Cai Jing's stomach is now thrusting happily. With his immense patience, he resisted laughing and sent Cai Que away calmly. Then he gathered people, carried controlled knives, and waited for the next day's action...

The next day, Cai Que and Zhang Dun led a large number of subordinates into the palace, met with the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries and the Privy Council, and went to the Shenzong's bedroom to ask about illness. In front of the Shenzong's sickbed, everyone was very quiet. After leaving, Cai Que took everyone to the southern meeting hall of the Privy Council.

There, Zhang Dun was as fierce as ever. He looked at Wang Gui and shouted: Do you support the prince or support the prince? Today you dare to object and ask your head to the ground!

The hall was silent, and the ministers were stunned. No one had threatened the Prime Minister like this in office since the founding of the Song Dynasty! Now the emperor is seriously ill and the Prime Minister is embarrassed. Isn’t it really going to happen to something big?

But Wang Gui sat there motionlessly, as if he was really scared, and he didn't say a word for a long time. In fact, he was almost bleak. The pleasure of being spoofed made him want to jump up and curse, and he wanted to laugh to the sky, so fun. He was the prince himself. Now Cai Que and Zhang Dun forced him to support the prince with a knife, and the prince had already confirmed that there was only the sixth prince Zhao Zhui... Is this a joke?

Cai Jing, who also wanted to laugh out loud, was hiding outside the window with dozens of steel knives. Do you think he was really stupid? When Cai Que found him, he instantly understood the logic, so he agreed to be so happy. He would bring a knife with him, and he would enter the palace as soon as he entered the palace. No matter what, he would not bleed. He was happy to do this favor and showed his loyalty to blood...

After a long time, Wang Gui finally slowly said the sentence "I have a son, why do you want to discuss it again?" Zhang Dun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Shenzong could rest in peace and the throne did not fall...

Cai Que was furious, which was equivalent to making it public to the world. The throne was passed on by nature and there was no one to support it. I had been in vain for the past half day? Just as I was thinking about doing something, Zhang Dun had already taken him to the next procedure - the ministers entered the palace again, regardless of whether Shenzong could accurately express their consciousness, and had to pass on the edict of the sixth son to succeed the throne. On that day, Zhao Xu (Zhao Zhong) finally had the title of crown prince and walked out of the palace. The three top ministers had different expressions...

Wang Gui's expression was gray and the oil was gone. He could no longer hold on and would die in more than a month...

Cai Que gritted his teeth. He never thought that Wang Gui, who was too old to be old and too cowardly, would be shrewd at critical moments, and a single word would ruin his dream...

Zhang Dun was very excited. No matter how many inside information there was in the incident or who had any ideas, the important thing was that the goal was achieved. It was as if he was to make him more excited. When he left the palace, he met the mortal enemy of the incident, Prince Yong Zhao Hao. If Zhang Dun wanted to win, he would win the arrogance. He went up and said loudly, "I have obtained the order and make the Prince of Yan'an the crown prince. What do you think?" Zhao Hao immediately bowed his head and said, "The world is very lucky." Zhang Dun left with a laugh. He believed that this was the best way to deal with such incidents. It was to put it on the surface, let Zhao Hao bow his head in public, completely defeat him, and lose another thought in the future!

Behind him, Cai Que was still unwilling to die, and he was unwilling to give up. At this time, Xing Shu appeared again, and the treacherous ministers had many ideas. He asked Cai Que to publicize to the outside world that Zhao Xu, the prince of Yan'an, was Cai Que, who led people into the palace and forced Wang Gui to agree to the enthronement. No matter what the process is or the truth is, even if it is a lie, it must be repeated! As long as it has an impact, it is a merit!
