Chapter 850 Zhang Dun's Selfishness, Cai Jing's Weakness
When Zhang Dun heard Wu Haogu say he wanted to help Zhang Shangying, he just smiled faintly, as if he was unmoved. After a while, he slowly asked: "The idea is good, but it is still not enough!"
Not enough? Do you want benefits?
Wu Haogu got closer, almost touched Zhang Dun, and asked with a smile: "As long as Dadiweng wants, as long as he can take out his subordinates, he will never refuse!"
Zhang Dun glared at Wu Haogu, but his eyes were no longer as sharp as he used to be when he was tall and tall. He reached out and took the gourd containing the iced sour plum soup and took a sip: "I am so old, can I still be greedy for things outside my body?"
Is that right? Wu Haogu's brain immediately started to turn around. Zhang Dun didn't care about anything outside, and he didn't lack this. His grandson-in-law Ji Yi was also a mogul!
So what about the person behind him? Ji Yi has no choice.
Wu Haogu already understood and said to Zhang Dun with a smile: "Zhang Zhiping is also a talented person in charge, but he lacks an opportunity to carry forward. If he can establish achievements like Gao Shiyan, he will definitely be recommended to join the second government in the future."
Zhang Zhiping is Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dun's fourth son, and he is also his favorite son, and of course he is the smartest and most capable son.
However, because of the mistakes made on Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, Zhang Yuan's career was doomed to be bumpy!
Moreover, Zhang Dun was implicated by Zhang Yuan, not only Zhang Dun's own son, but also the children of the entire Pucheng Zhang family, were implicated. The promotion in the officialdom has been rapid in recent years. If this continues, the glory of the Pucheng Zhang family may be limited to Zhang Dun.
Zhang Dun is now dead, so it is naturally these descendants who are destined to be troubled... This is probably Zhang Dun's selfishness!
And to make Zhang Yuan useful and keep the Pucheng Zhang family prosperous. The only way is to make achievements... By the way, you can master some strength!
If you have the strength, the government will have to reuse it!
"Ko Zhiping is a scholar!" Zhang Dun said slowly.
Wu Haogu smiled, "The scholar was in charge of the army, and he was in line with the dynasty's use of literature to control the martial arts."
Zhang Dun shook his head, "But Zhiping will not lead troops to fight..."
"It doesn't matter," Wu Haogu lowered his voice, "Actually, Gao Shiyan doesn't know either!"
"Oh?" Zhang Dun turned his head and looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "He won't?"
"Won't!"
"Can't you win a battle?"
"Yes!" Wu Haogu said in a low voice, "Actually, I sent someone who can fight to help him... Dadiweng, I can also help Zhang Zhiping, ensuring that he can become a famous Confucian general in history!"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Dun laughed to the sky, "I knew that Gao Qiu was not that capable! Chongdao, your Yuntai Academy and the Doctorate are really full of talents!"
Wu Haogu waved his hand, "You can't say that, you can't say that... Moreover, those talents are also secretly cast in a certain hand. How can a businessman know how to use those talents of the king and the king?"
"Haha," Zhang Dun nodded, "I have been no longer in court, so I don't care about these things!"
He paused, "Well, since you can help Zhiping, then I will help you."
"That younger generation, I will thank Da Diweng."
Zhang Dun smiled: "Do you know where Cai Yuanchang's weakness is?"
"Please tell me clearly."
Zhang Dun touched his beard, "Cai Yuanchang's weakness is that he is too greedy for power, and his greed for power is to do things for the superiors. No matter who is on him, he can use it very easily... If you become Zuo Pushe and give him an official, he can still be a dog for you."
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly and said, "Da Di Weng, don't make fun of me, I'm just a martial artist, but I can't be the left prime minister."
Zhang Dun smiled and said, "This is hard to say... Haha, now it is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years!"
He looked at Wu Haogu, and then said, "Cai Yuanchang is good at doing things, and he is extremely smart. I can see the general trend clearly. But he will not completely ban your empirical school knowledge, because he wants to do things for the officials, let the officials be prosperous and prosperous, and to open up territory for the officials... If you want to do these things, it is not OK to rely on the imperial examinations to do civil officials!
Wang Jinggong knew about this at that time. So now he wants to suppress your school of practical studies and may also want to ban some of the theories, but at the same time he will definitely want to take the Biyong Academy and Yuntai Academy for his own use. Because he wants to do things and do it well.
Moreover, Gao Shiyan's victory in the northwest also raised the appetite of the official family. Cai Yuanchang, he, must have been inferior to Gao Shiyan, right?"
Wu Haogu asked tentatively: "He wants to take the position of the Imperial College priest?"
"He will definitely take it!" Zhang Dun said, "because it was Cai Yuandu who came forward!"
"Cai Yuandu?" Wu Haogu took a breath.
Now Huang Tingjian is so ill that he only breathes a sigh of relief that he has to see Su Dongpo at any time. Once he dies, the position of the Imperial College Priest is empty.
Now Wu Haogu wants to recommend Shi Guozhong to take over. But if Cai Jing launches Cai Bian, then Shi Guozhong will be no longer competitive.
Cai Bian was a great figure who was a prime minister, and his Confucianism was far better than Shi Guozhong. He was a high-ranking official and low-ranking official. How could Shi Guozhong compete for this?
Moreover, Su Che is likely to have a consensus with Cai Jing on the candidate for the Imperial College Supervisor!
"what to do?"
Zhang Dun smiled: "Let Cai Yuandu be the sacrificial wine!"
“…”
Zhang Dun whispered: "If you want to do things and can do things, you have to take over power and form a clique... If you want to recapture Yan Yun for the official family, you have to choose generals to train soldiers! Haha, the official family's surname is Zhao after all! Even a confidant like Gao Shiyan can only eat sand in Lingzhou. Will he have a good ending?"
That's what I said!
Wu Haogu sighed. In fact, Zhao Ji is not a serious ill among the many officials in the Zhao family. But Zhao Song has been the system of destroying himself for more than a hundred years. What can Zhao Ji do?
"Actually, it's not easy for Cai Yuanchang..." Zhang Dun came to Wu Haogu's ears, "You just do this... I guarantee that you can send Cai Yuanchang to Haizhou for retirement!"
...
Cai You walked quickly in the luxurious and magnificent courtyard of his home, his face full of joy.
This courtyard is located in Xinxicheng, Kaifeng Prefecture, very close to Xihuang City. It is Pan Xiao'an who "won" from Pan Xiao'an half a month ago. It is famous among the official nobles in Kaifeng Prefecture. He will lose every gambling (his catchphrase is "wealth is too strong and we should lose a little")... In recent years, there have always been several millions of dollars in money exported. But I don't know why, others lose money and lose their family and their family, but his money is getting worse and worse!
However, Cai You's face was full of joy today and had nothing to do with winning a luxury house in Pan Xiao'an, but it was related to the death of a person!
He just got the news that Huang Tingjian passed away!
Su Dongpo, Li Gefei, Huang Tingjian... In a short period of time, the senior officials who opposed Cai Jing died one after another. This is really great!
Cai You, who was full of joy, walked through courtyards, corridors, and finally arrived at the back garden. This back garden is also extremely elegant, with small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions, and pools covered with dark green lotus leaves.
Cai You quickly walked past the small bridge built on the pool, and arrived outside the pavilion, bowed to the two people playing chess in the pavilion: "Father, uncle, the child just got the news that Huang Luzhi passed away last night."
Those who were playing chess were Cai You's father Cai Jing and Cai Bian who returned to Beijing to report their duties. The two old men were wearing cool thin shirts and shaking their big palm fan. Hearing Cai You's announcement, Cai Bian sighed: "I didn't expect that Huang Luzhi would go with Su Dongpo as well!"
Cai Bian sighed: "It's not in vain for this life... I have also done the Imperial College priest's wine."
"It's too early to die!" Cai Jing shook his head, "If he lives a few more years and waits for his students to emerge in the officialdom, he will definitely be the minister!" He suddenly looked up and looked at his younger brother Cai Bian, "Yuandu, the Biyong Academy must be in our hands!"
He paused, "Now Zhang Zihou and Zeng Zixuan have opened Gezhida Academy together, Zhao Mingcheng has become the Qingcheng Academy again, and the Su family and Wu Haogu also control the Yuntai Academy together... If the Biyong Academy cannot be taken down, in another ten or eight years, no one will do our business for us."
Hearing this, Cai Bian's brow suddenly frowned, "Brother, aren't we going to ban Wu Haogu's pseudo-study? Why are we still..."
"On the Practical Theory, the Theory of Reason, of course, must be forbidden!" Cai Jing said, "It is not forbidden now, and chaos will occur sooner or later in the future! However, the learning of craftsmen who build bridges and roads, the medical skills of curing diseases and saving people, and the knowledge of martial artists who use military and war are still very useful.
Wu Haogu wanted to use such a subtle way to replace the Confucian way and become orthodox, of course it was not possible. However, military officers and wise officials could still use students from the academy. Especially military officers... the officials have already made up their minds to build government soldiers. To build government soldiers, there must be a group of military officers from the academy. In the northwest, Gao Shiyan relies on students from the military academic department to kill all directions? Therefore, these five university palaces should send military officers and wise officials for the court, and should not rob the promotion path of poor scholars."
"Chief Yuan, do you want to intervene in the training of troops?"
Cai Bian already felt inappropriate. This military power was in the Song Dynasty, but it was something that was not something that could be touched!
"Brother Yu knows it." Cai Jing smiled and said, "The current government does not agree with the past. It was the first emperor except Emperor Taizu since the founding of the Song Dynasty! He wanted to restore Yan and pacify Xia. Now that the Western thieves have been quelled, only Yan Yun's hometown is left... Our brothers always have to do this for the government. So we don't want to practice this army, but we still have to put some thought into this general. Otherwise, the government would have to rely on Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu to restore Yan Yun.
If he wants to make great use of Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu, can you and my brother still stay in high positions?"
Cai Bian nodded slightly, "But there is no need for Gao Qiu. Wu Haogu, who can supervise the army to restore Yan Yun in Bei?"
