Chapter 118(2/2)
My father, Cai Jing, was the first to advocate the theory of "Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da" during the Song Dynasty. He advocated the great development of Huashi Gang and regarded official property as dung. The wealth accumulated by previous generations was squandered when he became the prime minister.
..."
"Cai Jing's fifth crime was to erect the [Yuanyou Party Member Monument] in order to avenge the Prime Minister's former ministers who fought in the party..."
"The sixth crime of Cai Jing is to exercise exclusive power for the prime minister and exclude dissidents..."
"The seventh crime of Cai Jing is to form a party for personal gain..."
"The eighth crime of Cai Jing is to recommend officials based on nepotism..."
…………
Cai You finished reading the eight major crimes and the evidence he used to expose his father Cai Jing.
After Cai Jing heard the eight major crimes and evidence listed by his own son, he collapsed...
If these crimes are confirmed, he will undoubtedly die.
Cai Jing felt that he might be following in the footsteps of Gao Qiu and Wang Fu.
The only thing that left him with only a glimmer of luck was that he still had other options available.
Last night, when Cai Jing conspired with his five other sons, the next best thing he prepared was to ask his daughter-in-law, Princess Maode, to come to Zhao Guan's family with her one-year-old child in her arms.
Please let Cai Jing and the Cai family go...
Zhao Ji issued an order and said: "The great scholar Cai You, together with my personal officials, will escort Cai Jing to Dali Temple for trial..."
"I obey the decree..."
Cai Jing was taken to Dali Temple for trial, while Cai You temporarily stayed in Dali Temple to serve as a witness...
At this time, Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who had been sent to Dali Temple by Zhao Ji to supervise the trial earlier, was shocked to see the powerful Master Cai in the past...
Cai Jing, whose spirit was so stimulated that he almost collapsed, either said nothing during the interrogation process in Dali Temple, or he pretended to be crazy and stupid when he was interrogated, hoping to delay time so that he could implement the next strategy...
…………
In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Ji asked the eunuch to treasure the calligraphy and "Listening to the Qin" sent by Cai Jing.
Although Cai Jing has been sent to Dali Temple, this calligraphy and painting are all national treasures. Zhao Ji feels that because Cai Jing is guilty, he cannot deny that his calligraphy is not good, let alone because Cai Jing is guilty, in "
"Listening to the Qin Picture" depicts Cai Jing listening to Zhao Guan's family playing the qin, thus destroying a famous painting with high artistic value such as "Listening to the Qin Picture".
Zhao Ji lamented that Cai Jing had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades. When Wang Anshi became the prime minister, Cai Jing was able to cling to Wang Anshi and be appreciated by relying on the relationship that his brother was Wang Anshi's son-in-law;
When Wang Anshi lost power and the opposition Sima Guang came to power and restored the service law, Cai Jing was able to implement Sima Guang's service law in all the areas under his jurisdiction within five days, overturning Wang Anshi's "Xining Reform."
Cai Jing can deal with the two factions and has experienced ups and downs several times. He is not without any ability.
In addition to being able to flatter Song Huizong, the original owner of Zhao Ji's body, Cai Jing also has certain political abilities in addition to calligraphy and articles.
During his tenure as prime minister, Cai Jing vigorously promoted the elderly care assistance system, such as setting up residential homes, Anjifang and Luzeyuan in prefectures and counties. During the Chongning period, Cai Jing also presided over the "Chongning Education Movement", which was the most effective among the three education movements in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The main measures include: establishing local schools throughout the country; establishing a three-level academic system linked to county schools, state schools, and Taixue; building a new Piyong school to develop Taixue; reviving the establishment of medicine, and establishing arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, etc. schools...
…
Cai Jing is talented, but his moral character is very bad, he is greedy for his own use, and his character is evil. In fact, he is a powerful villain.
Therefore, Zhao Ji was 90% happy about moving Cai Jing down and sending him to Dali Temple to be tried and convicted, and to deal with Cai Jing, the leader of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty. The other 10% was because he was so talented.
