After listening to Cai Jing's words, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty frowned slightly and asked aloud, "Since Lin Chong has repeatedly violated Tianwei and has no regard for the imperial court, does it violate the dignity of the imperial court to make peace with him?"
Moreover, I think Lin Chong has great ambitions.
Even if the court wants to make peace with him, there is no guarantee that he will agree.
After all, judging from the current situation, the Liangshan thieves have the upper hand.
There is no reason for Lin Chong to agree to a truce unless we grant him many benefits.
But since he is unwilling to recruit An as an official in the court, it will be difficult for the court to come up with the bargaining chip to attract him to negotiate with him.
In the end, I am afraid he will be humiliated by him again.
I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
Cai Jing was not surprised after hearing this, as if he had already guessed that Huizong would say this.
Just listen to Cai Jing say: "Back to your majesty, in fact, although Lin Chong has the upper hand on the surface, he is also in crisis now.
Judging from the territory he currently occupies, it borders the imperial court to the south, Natian Hu to the west, and Liao to the north. country, he is in it.
Needless to say, the relationship between the imperial court and Lin Chong was bound to be eliminated quickly, let alone the other two families.
The first is the Liao Kingdom.
Your Majesty must not forget that Lin Chong defeated nearly 100,000 Liao troops before occupying Cangzhou and Gaotangzhou.
How could the Liao people with their arrogant character tolerate such hatred, so the Liao people There is no doubt that the country will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate against Lin Chong.
Then there is Tian Hu.
Although there is no direct conflict between the two now, that was before.
In the past, the two people's spheres of influence were not adjacent, so of course there was no conflict.
However, with the expansion of the two people, part of their territory has been adjacent to each other.
As the saying goes, how can others sleep peacefully on the side of the bed?
As time goes by, the two are bound to have friction, which will trigger a war between the two sides.
In this way, Lin Chong can be said to be surrounded by enemies on three sides and full of crises.
And as Lin Chong has developed too fast in the past two years, it must be internally unstable.
The reason why it cannot be seen now is just that it is covered up by continuous victories.
Once Lin Chong encounters a setback or loses a battle, internal conflicts are very likely to arise. burst out.
Lin Chong must have seen the problem with his mind, so he must now want to stabilize for a period of time so that he can slowly digest the fruits of the past two years of victory and deal with internal problems at the same time.
This also Just what we need.
The situation the imperial court now faces is very similar to Lin Chong's.
Lin Chong is surrounded by enemies on three sides, while the imperial court is surrounded by enemies on four or even five sides.
And as the veteran said before, the imperial treasury is now empty and it is not appropriate to launch another large-scale war.
What the imperial court needs now is also to recuperate.
As long as the imperial court can regain its strength within a year or two and pacify a few other bandits, then it can mobilize large-scale troops and generals to annihilate Lin Chong and his followers in one fell swoop.
By then, our Song Dynasty will once again enter peace, and Your Majesty will surely be praised by the world for his virtuous name.
This is the humble opinion of the veteran minister and his family.
Please think again, Your Majesty."
This time Cai Jing's analysis was very detailed and attentive.
There was nothing he could do about it.
After all, Cai You was also his son.
It would be better to save him if possible.
Song Huizong nodded after hearing this.
He was also a little moved by Cai Jing.
In fact, Song Huizong was not an emperor with great ambitions.
If possible, he sincerely hoped not to go to war, because this would allow him to continue to enjoy the rewards comfortably.
Spend time admiring flowers, writing and drawing on rocks.
Although Song Huizong now knows that Fang Lazàofǎn is because of Hua Shi Gang, this does not affect his love for strange flowers and stones.

"What do you think of what Taishi Cai just said?"
Song Huizong was undecided and asked the ministers below.
However, because all the ministers were shocked by Cai Jing's methods before, no one came out to oppose it.
Instead, they all praised the feasibility of this plan.
When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw that the ministers agreed, he nodded and said, "In this case, I will order the Chancellor to draft a decree for peace, and then arrange for candidates to negotiate with Lin Chong."
"Your Majesty is wise" All the ministers worshiped together.
"I'm tired, I'm leaving the court."
After saying this, Song Huizong stood up and walked towards the back.
The ministers shouted "Long live the mountain" again, and after Huizong left, they walked out in twos and threes.
Soon after the imperial court retreated, news came out that Zhao Tingzhi had been dismissed from his post and taken into custody, and that the imperial court was preparing to issue an order for peace talks with Liangshan.
When Zhao Mingcheng heard the panicked news from his servants, he was shocked.
His mouth was wide open and he couldn't say a word.
It was so sudden.
The situation was originally going well last night, and the father and son were still very excited.
How come everything changed in the morning?
Cai Jing, who was supposed to be dànhé, is still aloof, but the person being dànhé turned out to be his own father.
What's going on?
Why is this happening?
My father was raped, so what will happen to the Zhao family in the future?
What will I do?
Will I be implicated?
A series of questions all lingered in Zhao Mingcheng's mind, and he sweated unknowingly.
"Officer, what happened?"
At this time, Li Qingzhao, dressed in plain clothes, came over.
Li Qingzhao came to Zhao Mingcheng and asked quickly when he saw Zhao Mingcheng's shocked expression and sweat on his forehead.
When Zhao Mingcheng heard Li Qingzhao's voice, he closed his open mouth, then swallowed his saliva in an extremely inelegant manner and made a "gulu" sound, which was very harsh.
Li Qingzhao frowned, and then softly called "official" "Madam, our Zhao family is finished," Zhao Mingcheng replied with a tearful tone.
"Officials, don't worry, what happened?"
Li Qingzhao stepped forward, held Zhao Mingcheng's arm and comforted him.
"The Zhao family is finished, finished, everything is finished."
Zhao Mingcheng repeated this sentence over and over again as if he was going crazy.
When Li Qingzhao saw Zhao Mingcheng like this, he was really anxious.
He quickly turned to look at the servant who had just delivered the message and asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
When the servants heard Li Qingzhao's question, they quickly told them everything they had heard.
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he was also shocked.
It seemed that his worries last night had come true.
Li Qingzhao looked at Zhao Mingcheng, who was still there with a stunned look on his face, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart for some reason.
This official of his was very knowledgeable, especially good at gold and stone, but he was too courageous and courageous.
"well" Li Qingzhao sighed together, then held Zhao Mingcheng's arm, shook it vigorously and said, "Officer, officer, now is not the time to panic.
You should find a way to ask someone to go to the Ministry of Justice to plead for mercy as soon as possible, and try to rescue your father as soon as possible, officer" Zhao Mingcheng finally woke up after several calls from Li Qingzhao, but he still looked depressed.
Seeing Li Qingzhao standing next to him with an anxious look on his face, Zhao Mingcheng, who had woken up, asked, "Madam, my father has been dismissed from office and taken into custody.
Will anyone else do it in the future?"
Look down on me":
