"What the Master said is true."

Wang Fu said: "That Hua Ju is now an official of the second rank, and is also the commander of the escort army, holding real power. Although Taifu Liang is higher than him in official rank, he only looks good on the surface, and his actual power is not as good as his. As for Liang Taifu, he is higher than him in official rank, but his actual power is not as good as his.

Your Majesty..."

Wang Fu sighed softly and said rather "helplessly": "I am just a small imperial official with little power and power. Even if I want to help the grand master, I have more than enough intention but not enough power."

Cai Jing understood that these two guys were seeking official positions.

In fact, the official positions of Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu already have considerable power.

For example, Liang Shicheng was already a member of the third division of Kaifu Yitong. This was a first-grade official rank. He could set up his own shogunate and staff in his own name, and all the treatment was the same as that of the third division.

In addition, he also holds the title of Grand Tutor, Grand Lieutenant, Jiedu Envoy, and dozens of other official positions, which can be said to be a high-ranking position.

As for Wang Fu, although Yushi Zhongcheng only had an official rank of third grade, he was the chief of Yushitai.

You know, the Yushitai is the highest supervisory department of the Song Dynasty. It is responsible for supervising the misconduct of civil and military officials. It also has the power of impeachment. Any official who makes a mistake can be impeached. The power is also very large. Otherwise, how could those officials do this?

Everyone is afraid of him.

But even so, these two guys are still not satisfied and still want to continue to move up.

Cai Jing knew that if Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu could not meet their conditions, it would be difficult for them to agree. After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

"So this is it. This is easy to handle."

Cai Jing said with a smile: "I will tell your Majesty later that I will give you two officials and titles."

Now that everyone had made their words clear, Wang Fu no longer tried to hide it, but asked directly: "I wonder what official position the Grand Master is going to let His Majesty give us?"

Cai Jing said: "What kind of official position do Wang Zhongcheng and Liang Taifu want?"

Wang Fu said: "The post of Privy Councilor is still vacant. I wonder if the Grand Master can recommend Taifu Liang to take the position?"

"Privy Envoy!"

Cai Jing didn't expect that these two guys had such a big appetite, and they wanted to be the Privy Councilor as soon as they opened their mouths.

"Does Taifu Liang want to be the Privy Councilor?" Cai Jing asked deliberately.

Liang Shicheng laughed, clasped his hands and bowed in the air, and said: "Xiaguan was originally a small chamberlain, and he became what he is today because of His Majesty's respect. Therefore, I want to share more affairs for the court in order to repay His Majesty's grace."

Seeing Liang Shicheng's pretentious look, Cai Jing sneered in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He thought for a moment and said: "I agree. However, you have to bring this matter up in front of His Majesty. When I and Lieutenant Gao arrive,

I will work with other officials to support it."

Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu were overjoyed. They both stood up and cupped their hands and said, "Thank you so much, Grand Master."

"There, there."

Cai Jing smiled and waved his hand, stood up and said: "Taifu Liang, Wang Zhongcheng, from now on we are our own people. If I have offended you in the past, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. In the past, we have done a lot of disrespect to your Majesty. I hope your Majesty will not be offended. We would like to apologize to your Majesty here."

Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu both bowed to Cai Jing, and Cai Jing quickly helped them up.

The two parties discussed for a while, and then Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu left first with the desired results.

As soon as the two left, Gao Qiu couldn't wait to say: "Grand Master, the position of Privy Council is very powerful. If Liang Shicheng is allowed to hold the position, it will form a check on us in the future. How can you agree to them?"

Cai Jing said: "I know that the position of Privy Councilor is important, but if we don't agree to them, how can they help us deal with Huaju with all their strength. What's more, although I agreed to them, Liang Shicheng may not really be able to become Privy Councilor."

Gao Qiu asked: "How do you say this, Grand Master?"

Cai Jing glanced at him and said: "Have you forgotten people like Hua Ju, Shi Song, Sima Hong, and Lu Zhengxin? They will not let Liang Shicheng sit in the Privy Council position so easily, especially Hua Ju, who will definitely resort to all kinds of tricks.

I tried my best to stop it."

Gao Qiu suddenly realized and finally understood Cai Jing's intention.

He wanted to use the position of Privy Councilor as a bait to lure Huazhe into a fight with Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng. The more he tried to stop him, the more Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng hated him, and the more they hated him, the more they wanted to kill him.

By then, even if Cai Jing doesn't say anything, they will still find ways to get rid of the Chinese beech.

In this way, Cai Jing also achieved his purpose of using their power to deal with Huaju.

"The grand master is indeed very resourceful, and I admire him. But..."

"But what?" Cai Jing asked.

Gao Qiu hesitated for a moment and said: "Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng are also treacherous people. What if Hua Ju can't stop them?"

Cai Jing laughed twice, stepped out of the room, and said: "If you can't stop him, let him be the leader. Don't forget that you are the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Mansion. All the forbidden troops are under your control. If he wants to mobilize troops to avoid

I won’t let you go. But if you want to use troops, as long as you don’t announce it, how will he know if you use them?”

Gao Qiu understood what he meant, smiled and extended his thumb and said: "The grand master is really smart, I have learned from you."

Then the two of them came out of Zi Xing Yuan, said goodbye and got into the carriage to leave.

While Cai Jing was conspiring to join forces with Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng, Hua Ju was recruiting generals such as Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Qin Donghao and others in the escort camp, and gave them the daily training outline he had drawn up for the escort army.

This daily training outline was modified by him based on the method of special training for those soldiers. The intensity is not that high, and the difficulty is also reduced accordingly.

The reason why the intensity and difficulty of training need to be lowered is mainly because special training soldiers need to improve their physical fitness and combat effectiveness in a very short period of time, so they must use hell-like training to stimulate their potential and fighting will.

Although this method can improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time, maintaining such high-intensity and overload training for a long time will cause great harm to the soldiers' bodies. Especially as the age increases, the damage will become more and more obvious.

obvious.

These soldiers all had families, and their families' lives depended on them. Hua Ju didn't want them all to leave the military camp with all their illnesses in the future.

Therefore, he lowered the intensity and difficulty of daily training, hoping to accumulate time and gradually improve the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the soldiers bit by bit, so as not to cause harm to the soldiers' bodies.

"Have you read it all?" Hua Ju asked after everyone had circulated it.

"Sir, I've finished reading it all," Guan Sheng said.

Hua Ju asked: "Do you have anything to say?"

Guan Sheng said: "Back to my lord, I have nothing to say in my humble position."

Hua Ju said: "Since everyone has no objections, from now on all soldiers in the Guards will train according to this daily training outline. No one is allowed to miss training without special circumstances. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished with twenty military sticks and will be kicked out of the Guards."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, let's all go down and do our work." Hua Ju said.

Guan Sheng and others bowed and retreated. Hua Ju then stood up and went to see Xue Yuanhui. His injury healed faster than expected and he was able to get out of bed and walk with the help of others.

At this rate, it will take up to ten days to fully recover.

"He's recovering well." Hua Ju said after taking his pulse.

Xue Yuanhui said: "This is all due to your master's superb medical skills."

Hua Ju said: "The main reason is that your physique is good and your recovery ability is strong. If you change to someone with a weak physique, you won't be able to recover so quickly."

Just as he was talking about this, a soldier walked in and said: "Sir, Minister of War Shi Shangshu and others are here."

"Bring them in."

"yes."

Hua Ju said to Xue Yuanhui: "You have a good rest. I will come see you when I have time."

"Thank you, sir."

Hua Ju left Xue Yuanhui's barracks and as soon as he walked to the gate of the command camp, he saw soldiers walking towards him with Shi Song, Sima Hong, Lu Zhengxin, and a muscular man with a strong back and a strong waist, about thirty-one or twenty years old.

.

Behind them were Shi Xiong, who had a splint tied to his hand, and six others, Shi Hao, Shi Jie, Shi Meng, Sima Baoping, and Lu Gang.

"Wenshan." Shi Song waved to Hua Ju from a long distance away.

Hua Ju walked over and raised his hands and said, "General Shi, General Sima, General Lu."

After Shi Song and the others greeted Hua Ju, they said to the tall man, "Gao Zhan, this is Mr. Hua, the commander of the escort army."

Before coming, Gao Zhan had heard from Shi Song and others that Hua Ju was very young, but he was still surprised when he saw it.

However, he did not doubt Hua Ju's ability because he believed that Shi Song would not deceive him. He then clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "Gao Zhan pays homage to Mr. Hua."

"General Gao, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, sir."

Then Shi Song pointed at Shi Xiong and others and said: "Wenshan, these boys offended you the day before yesterday. Now I have brought them here. You can beat or scold them as long as you want."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Xiong and the other six people and scolded: "Why are you still bothering? Why don't you apologize to Wenshan quickly?"

Shi Xiong and others knelt down and said, "Master Hua, we were blamed for being too reckless the day before yesterday. We were offended. Please forgive me."

Hua Ju quickly said: "Old General Shi, what are you doing? It's just a misunderstanding. Let's forget it. Why bother taking it to heart anymore? Get up, get up."

"Thank you, sir." Six people stood up.

Hua Ju walked up to Shi Xiong, looked at his hand, and asked, "How is it? Does it hurt a lot?"

Shi Xiong said: "It's okay."

In fact, he was in pain now, but he was embarrassed to say it in front of so many people.
