When Long Yan is angry, all the ministers are afraid.
Since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.
If you are not careful, your head may fall to the ground.
Recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun was also Huizong's dream a long time ago, but this dream always stayed in the dream stage, and he never really thought about how to act.
"Everyone, get up," Huizong scolded for a while, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" The ministers stood up and stood up again, all of them including Cai Jing lowered their heads.
"Now the imperial court is experiencing a troubled period.
There are bandits everywhere, but the Liangshan Linchong group is the most serious.
They have repeatedly suppressed injustice.
I am very worried.
The imperial court spends tens of millions of dollars every year on just the army, but in the end it ended up in a situation where even thieves and bandits could not defeat it.
It really makes me wonder how on earth so much money is spent.
What is the level of our army in the Song Dynasty now?
Why can the Liangshan bandits wipe out the Liao Kingdom so easily, but the imperial army cannot even defeat the small group of Liao soldiers beside the bandits?
Do our soldiers usually only eat and not train?
If I remember correctly, many of the current leaders in Liangshan are former generals of my court.
Why do the same generals look different when they change to different camps?
Dear friends, who can answer my questions?"
Song Huizong asked a series of questions in a deep voice.
The ministers lowered their heads and looked at each other, but no one had any intention of answering, because there was no answer to this question at all.
Is it really true that most of the imperial army is neglected in training, and those soldiers have been corrupted by some people?
It is impossible to tell the truth about this kind of thing, but it will be more troublesome if the lie is not told well, so it is best not to answer.
Song Huizong didn't express his displeasure when he saw the officials.
In fact, he was very aware of the dirty tricks in the army.
"Humph" Huizong snorted coldly, stood up and walked away.
The ministers knelt down and sent Huizong off respectfully.
After Huizong left, the officials stood up and left in groups of twos and threes, whispering.
Cai Jing came to Li Yan and said, "I have a new box of good tea.
How about Mr.
Li come to my house to taste it?"
Li Yan looked at Cai Jing with a fake smile on his face, knowing in his heart that he must have something to do with him, and it was probably related to the facts last time.
Although he was very reluctant, he still put on a flattered expression and replied, "In that case, I'm going to bother the Grand Master."
"Oh hahahaha, Mr.
Li is an honored guest, so why do you bother me?
Please" "Grand Master, please" Li Yan made a gesture of invitation.
Cai Jing smiled with satisfaction and walked away first.
Then Li Yan followed closely.
The other ministers in the hall were very curious to see the two of them being so polite.
Although the two belonged to the same faction, they had never seen Cai Jing be so polite to Li Yan.
For a while, everyone started speculating.
A morning court ended in this way, but the impact was far-reaching.
The civil and military officials returned home and sent their trusted people to check the Liangshan site.
If it was as good as the legend, they were asked to quietly purchase real estate there to prepare for the future.
Cai Jing and Li Yan each boarded the carriage and walked to Cai Jing's mansion one after the other.
When they arrived at the place, they talked and laughed all the way into the living room and the guests and hosts sat down.

Cai Jing ordered his servants to get some fragrant tea and brew it.
"Master Li, how about you try the tea?"
Cai Jing said to Li Yan with a smile.
Li Yan picked up the tea cup and smelled it first, then took a sip.
After a brief taste, he nodded and praised, "The tea has a rich aroma.
After drinking, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth for endless aftertaste.
Good tea, really good tea."
"Hahaha, Mr.
Li is indeed a person who understands tea.
This tea is collected from the old tea trees at the top of Wuyi Mountain.
It is carefully made by expert tea masters, but it is very rare.
But since Mr.
Li likes it, I will ask my servant to pack a bag and give it to Mr.
Li later."
Cai Jing said with enthusiasm.
"Oh my god, then I will be receiving salary for nothing," Li Yan thanked him quickly.
"Well, you and my colleagues have been no better than others for many years.
From now on, we should get closer and come to drink tea."
Cai Jing was polite again.
The two took a sip of tea, and Cai Jing pretended to be casual and asked, "How did you go about what you told Mr.
Li last time?"
When Li Yan heard this, he thought to himself, "It really is for this reason."
Just listen to Li Yan say: "Last time, after the Grand Master told the official, he sent his confidants to handle the matter overnight, but I haven't received a reply yet, but it's understandable after thinking about it.
The leader of Linzhai was in a fierce battle with the Liao Kingdom at that time, and my people could only deliver the letter to Daming Mansion, and then the people from Liangshan would forward it to the leader of Linzhai, which would inevitably delay time.
So please wait patiently, Grand Master."
After hearing this, Cai Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yan, judging in his mind whether what Li Yan said was true or false.
After a moment, he laughed and said, "Master Li is right, I am too impatient."
Leader Lin Zhai has an obvious rise this year.
He is a rare outstanding person.
I think he will understand what I mean.
Mr.
Li, don’t you think so?"
After Cai Jing finished speaking, he still looked at Li Yan with narrowed eyes.
Li Yan felt a slight chill down his back from the first time Cai Jing looked at him.
He had worked with Cai Jing for many years and knew very well what Cai Jing was like.
Although Cai Jing seemed to be very polite to Li Yan, if he turned against him, Li Yan would be the worst offender.
Li Yan smiled awkwardly and replied, "The Grand Master is right.
I think Master Lin will definitely understand the Grand Master's kindness."
After listening to Li Yan's words, Cai Jing looked away and said to Li Yan enthusiastically, "I believe Mr.
Li, come on, the tea won't taste good if it's cold."
Daming Palace Shi Wengong said to Wang Jin next to him, "Brother, what do you think of this?"
Wang Jin smiled, "Cai Jingnai is an old fox.
He must have seen that the imperial court was about to die, so he arranged his escape in advance.
We don’t have to worry about whether to accept it or not, as long as the letter is delivered to Brother Lin immediately.”
"Well, brother is right.

I will compile a letter and send it to Yanjing."
After Shi Wengong finished speaking, he got up and wrote the letter.
Wang Jin looked at the letter sent by Li Yan again, with a happy smile on his face.
It has been almost half a month since Lin Chong occupied Yanjing, and the bombed city gate has long been repaired and reinforced.
Among the 30,000 prisoners captured in the city, only 20,000 were real soldiers.
The remaining 10,000 were common people in Yanjing City and the servants of various ministers.
Lin Chong surrendered the 20,000 soldiers, and then sent the remaining 10,000 to Yanjing.
Let go.
Lin Chong is not short of troops now, so it is useless to ask for these 10,000 men who have not been trained and have not been on the battlefield.
On the contrary, it is a waste of food.
The old ministers of the Liao Kingdom who were loyal to Wu Yanguang had already begun to set out on the road one after another.
They would be escorted by Liangshan soldiers to different states and cities.
Lin Chong allowed them to take all their belongings with them, but they could only take a few domestic slaves and servants with them. , others must undergo population registration and become ordinary citizens.
None of these people resisted Lin Chong's decision.
After all, in their eyes, their situation was much better than that of other ministers.
As for Wu Yanguang, he didn't say anything.
Not only that, he came to Lin Chong's room that night to express his gratitude to these people.
As for whether Wu Yanguang had guessed Lin Chong's true purpose, only he knew:
