Chapter 18 Yanfu Palace
Cai Jing wanted to convict Li Sanjian, or to eliminate future troubles forever, in addition to Li Sanjian's opposition to him in everything and making Cai Jing so angry that he vomited blood several times, there is another important reason, that is, to consolidate the phase.
At this time, most of Cai Jing's opponents were demoted from the capital, which was invincible in the world. Cai Jing calculated by his fingers, so Li Sanjian became his main opponent, or potential opponent.
Li Sanjian was young and became the chief official of Fujian Road, and youngness was his greatest capital. In addition, Li Sanjian was the minister of Zhao Ji's secret residence, and was deeply favored, shrewd and capable, and so on.
The most important thing is that Cai Jing was able to become a minister three times, and his greatest capital was that he was good at managing finances, was good at serving the court, and Zhao Ji quickly and gathered wealth for a large amount of money. He could quickly reverse the financial situation of the court and make the imperial treasury full.
Li Sanjian seemed to have done a good job in this regard. Since Li Sanjian was the governor of Quanzhou and was appointed as the Quanzhou Maritime Commissioner and the Fuzhou Municipal Commissioner, the taxes paid to the court have been more than one year since the Fujian Road Management Office. During this ten years, the taxes paid to the court have been listed at the highest level of the taxes paid by the 23rd Road of the imperial court.
You should know that the tax on Fujian Road was at the bottom in the past.
Not only does the tax on Fujian Road increase year by year, but the pirates around Fujian Road and its surrounding areas are basically slapped by Li San, and the Fujian Road has been managed to achieve peace and prosperity.
With such governance achievements and Li Sanjian's youth, Li Sanjian could be recalled to the court by Zhao Ji at any time. After that, he would be able to replace Cai Jing's position for several years.
How could Cai Jing not understand the emperor's trade-offs? This is a matter of time. At present, Zhao Ji has just not found a suitable person.
So, Li Sanjian became a heart-wrenching problem in Cai Jing's heart and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"Then, the father and the child have been reported. Zhu Ruming has sneaked into Fuzhou and seized Gu Longyun and his son. He is on his way back at this time. Can he be convicted?" Zhu Xie then asked Cai Jing.
"You are confused, but you are not convinced, right?" Cai Jing shook his head and said, "Justice's father and son cannot bring Li Sanjian down. What if he and his son refuse to speak and refuse to point out Li Sanjian? And if you let someone take Gu's father and son and not capture the descendants of the Nong family, wouldn't it be a frightening person? Zhu Xie, in this world, you are not the only one who is cruel and ruthless."
"I...this..." Zhu Xie was speechless when he heard this, and couldn't speak for a while. After a while, Zhu Xie looked at Cai Jing with a gaze and asked, "What should I do? Father's face..."
Cai Jing glared at Zhu Jie and said slowly: "I have known about the descendants of the Nong family for a long time. The reason why I didn't touch him was because I was waiting for an opportunity. Do you think that if he was just the matter of winning the favor, I could always be an official in Fujian Lu Xiaoyao? All the things are missing, and if the extremes are reversed, you probably haven't heard of Li Sanjian's military training in Fujian, right? But I have known about it. Not only did I not stop this, I also advised him to give him great convenience. Wait for a few years, when the troops on Fujian Lu are strong and the horses are strong, and when this person's rebellion has been revealed, even if he has no rebellion, he will be impeached with the descendants of the Nong family for a long time, at that time, he will never be able to turn over."
Cai Jing then scolded Zhu Xie and said, "But now you are not obedient to me and capture Gu's father and son without authorization, but you dare not take it.
The descendants of the Nong family, what is this? If you don’t rush to the snake, you are just trying to act alone, but it is really a big deal for me.”
A fool is a fool. No matter what, no matter when, he is a fool. At this moment, Cai Jing cursed in his heart again, "Don't look at Zhu Xie extorting the people outside, intimidating officials of prefectures and counties, and showing off his power, it is arrogant. But in the final analysis, he is still a fool and is no match for Li Sanjian at all.
If Li Sanjian had done this, he would have done nothing, and Cai Jing suddenly thought of it.
"Father, what should I do?" Zhu Xie finally exclaimed in his heart after Cai Jing's scolding, and regretted why he didn't think about it carefully at the beginning. So he asked Cai Jing with a shameful face.
"Everything depends on God's will." Cai Jing sighed when he heard this.
"Ji'er, you urgently handed over to Zhu Ruming and ordered him to quickly escort Gu Longyun and his son to Beijing. Remember, you must not harm the lives of the two." Cai Jing then said to Zhu Xie.
You have escaped many times but you can reach the sky directly. After Zhu Xie left, Cai Jing thought to himself that this time he will definitely lose your path.

On the tenth day of the 10th day of the second year of Zhenghe of Song Dynasty, Yanfu Palace, Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo
The Yanfu Palace was originally where the court held a banquet. It was inherent in the Song Dynasty's Royal Palace, not built by Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others. Since Cai Jing gained power, it was expanded on the basis of the original Yanfu Palace. After the expansion, the Yanfu Palace increased by dozens of times in scale, and various luxurious palaces were also built, with more than 30 new ones.
Cai Jing used the luxurious palace to beautify the emperor and summoned five eunuchs, including Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He Shu, Lan Congxi, and other five eunuchs, to supervise the construction of five palaces. You compete for wonders, I compete for excellence, pursue luxury and beauty, regardless of wealth. The palace pavilions and pavilions are endless, and the ponds are made into seas, and the springs are led into lakes. Bronze sculptures such as literary birds and strange beasts are in various shapes; famous trees and strange rocks are extremely beautiful.
Yanfu Palace, many platforms, pavilions, and pavilions, with very elegant names and poetic styles. Of course, it was taken by Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty who was rich in artistic cultivation. The east gate of the palace is Chenhui, and the west gate is called Lize. The main hall has Yanfu and Ruizhu. The hall next to the east is Yiqing, Huining, Chengping, Ruimo, Ninghe, Kunyu, Qunyu. The pavilion has icy fragrance, bidding, peaches, spring brocade, stacked jade, fragrant, liyu, cold fragrance, brushing clouds, yincun, green jade, purple clouds. The pavilion on the west side is Fanying, snow fragrance, scented, scented, scented, Qionghua, Wenqiu, Crimson, Qionghua, Green Qiong, Yaobi, Qingyin, Qiuxiang, Follow Jade, Fuyu, and Crimson Clouds. In the north of Huining Hall,
There is a small hill made of stones. There are one hall and two pavilions on the mountain, named Cuiwei Hall, Yungui Pavilion and Laid Pavilion. Near Ninghe Hall, there are two small pavilions, named Yuying and Yujian. Behind the city wall, there is a small earth slope with apricot trees planted on it, called Xinggang, and a thatched pavilion and bamboo are arranged next to it. On the right side of the palace is Yanchun Pavilion, next to it is a small round pond, and stone pavilion is built, called Feihua. There is also a lake that has been expanded by the spring. The embankment is built in the lake to connect the pavilion. A beam is mounted on the embankment and enters the lake water. The beam is equipped with a thatched pavilion, a Hezhuang Zha, a Lu Yan Zha, and a Kong Cui Zha. From this, we go to the Lizemen area, where flowers and famous trees are gathered and divided into different places, and the beauty is like a world-famous place.
In Yanfu Palace, it seems like there are mysterious canyons and jungles, and there are also strange mountains and rivers with streams and waterfalls, which are like the fairyland on earth that you can dream of, and also like the wonderful and harmonious natural scenery.
palace
There is a lake in the middle, flowers are everywhere on all sides, and lotus flowers are blooming in the center of the lake. Osmanthus trees are growing far and near.
Being here is like a god. Emperor Zhao Ji of Song was almost spent in Yanfu Palace during the years Li Sanjian was the pacifier of Fujian Road.
"With the will, I always think about the difficulties of material resources. At this year's life, I will follow the simplicity and frugality. I ordered Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, Cai You, Wang Fu, Zhu Xie and others to enter the palace."
The birthday of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty was originally the fifth day of the fifth month, and the folk customs regard May as the "evil month", also known as the "poison month". There are many taboos in everything. May 5 is the bad day in the evil month. The children born in this nature are considered to be unfilial and unlived. Even if they are long, they will harm their parents, otherwise they will harm their parents. Therefore, Zhao Ji followed the advice of Taoist Zhang, Xie Shi and others. In order to avoid the taboos, he changed his birthday to October 10th and designated this day as "Tianning Festival".
On Tianning Festival, all civil and military officials must go to the palace to celebrate Zhao Ji's birthday, and the entire Song Dynasty must celebrate Tianning Festival and celebrate Zhao Ji's birthday.
However, Zhao Ji did not like too much lively scenes, but liked to linger in the mountains and rivers, linger in the Yanfu Palace, which is like a fairyland on earth, set up a few tables of banquets, drink a few glasses with a few concubines, confidant ministers, etc., then take a look at the scenery, recite poems and other things.
Therefore, after presenting speeches to the main hall of Chinese civil and military officials, an order was issued by Yanfu Palace, summoning Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, Cai You, Zhu Xie and other confidant ministers into Yanfu Palace.
"I will obey the order!" After receiving the order, Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, Cai You, Wang Fu and Zhu Xie entered Yanfu Palace under the guidance of several eunuchs. After walking for a long time, he found the Song Emperor Zhao Ji in a black Taoist robe in a small pavilion called "Yu Jian".
The pair of laces, long as the calves, sleeveless, and long sleeves. The Taoist robe embroidered with golden silk and silver threads on them with various Taoist auspicious patterns such as sun, moon, stars, gossips, pagodas, cranes, etc. is an unusual fit when worn on the handsome Zhao Ji, which highlights Zhao Ji's immortal style, just like a god.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"I'm going to see Your Highness Ding!"
"I'm going to see Your Highness Jia!"
Zhao Ji was surrounded by two teenagers, one of whom was about eleven or twelve years old, with a pretty face and a thin body. He was somewhat similar to the late emperor Zhao Xu, and was Zhao Ji's eldest son Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng was born in the third year of Yuanfu, which was born shortly after Emperor Zhao Ji of Song ascended the throne. He was the parent-child of the late queen Wang and the only descendant of the queen Wang.
The Empress Wang, also known as the original Princess Wang, died in the second year of Daguan, at the age of 25, and was posthumously named Jinghe.
When the Empress Wang passed away, Zhao Heng was only eight years old. Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty felt sorry for his loss of his mother at a young age, so he often brought him by his side.
Speaking of an eight-year-old child who lost the protection of the queen's mother would be extremely difficult in the deep palace. If the emperor's father doesn't like him at this time, he will almost be unable to survive.
Zhao Ji's second son Zhao Qi died early. The boy beside Zhao Heng was his third son, named Zhao Kai, who was only one year younger than Zhao Heng. He also had a pretty face, but his body was much stronger than Zhao Heng, and he was smart and smart.
Zhao Kai looks very similar to his emperor's father, just like carved from the same mold, and is the son of the imperial concubine Wang.
