Cai Jing took action in anger, and his first move was 'create something in the house'. This move was so cruel that two people had already been defeated by this move.

The first one was the former prime minister Zhang Shangying. He first let Zhang's men see that the warehouse was empty, and lured him to complain to the emperor, and then asked the emperor to send someone to implement it. As a result, the warehouse was full of silver, and Lao Zhang fell out of favor; the second person was the young prime minister.

Wang Fu, before he took refuge with Liang Shicheng, he had a close relationship with He Zhizhong, and later turned to him. Cai Jing did not trust Wang Fu, thinking that such a young man could betray his mentor and work with him.

This way he could betray him, so he wanted to get rid of him. Cai Jing said some good things about Wang Fu and recommended him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After Wang Fu took office, he immediately sent people to encourage the Imperial Army to go to Zuozang Treasury to raise wages, and the Treasury had already

They evacuated everything and found nothing but mice. Lao Cai just wanted to depose him on the charge of "lack of timely supply of finances and weakening the morale of the army." Wang Fu was caught off guard and fell into the trap, and he only escaped death by resorting to dragging tactics.

This time Cai Jing followed the same pattern and paid a lot of money to bribe Lin Lingsu's partner Wang Yuncheng and let him spy on him secretly. Otherwise, Cai Jing is old and this method will work once or twice. You use it every day. Everyone knows how to prevent it.

Lin Lingsu

Pretending that he didn't know, he warmly invited Wang Yuncheng to visit the quiet room of Tongzhen Palace. In the secret room, there were the royal yellow tent, the vermilion chair and table engraved with golden dragons, and the golden dragon incense burner. These were exclusive items for the emperor and were not used by others.

rebellion.

Wang Yuncheng immediately went to the Cai Mansion to report. Master Cai immediately reported that Lin Lingsu was plotting evil and attempting to rebel, and asked the emperor to go on inspection. The emperor and Master Cai unlocked the lock and entered the quiet room at the same time. There was nothing in the room, except for the white walls and bright windows.

Grandmaster Cai had lost face greatly, and Wang Yuncheng was also inexplicably poisoned and died that day, which made the emperor very dissatisfied with him. Who is Cai Jing? He is a man who has gone through great setbacks. How could he be frightened by this failure and cheer up to fight again?

In the summer, there was a severe drought in the capital. Cai Jingshen knew the tricks of the scholars and concluded that there would be no rain in the near future, so he suggested that Lin Lingsu pray for rain. Cai Jing could see that there would be no rain in the recent days, and Lin Lingsu could not possibly not know it, so he would not accept this job.

Son? Cai Jing immediately asked his party members to report, exposing Taoist Lin as a swindler who deceived the Holy Emperor and deserved death. The emperor could not protect him, so he had to urge him to show his hand.

Lin Lingsu is not stupid. She has studied the meteorological data of Tokyo for many years, combined with her own observations, and judged that there will be a heavy rain in half a month.

So he reported: I am a student of the Lingbao Sect of Taoism, and I am good at using talismans and incantations to exorcise ghosts and subjugate them, pray for blessings and ward off disasters.

There is a severe drought this year. To pray for rain, thunder is required. The louder the effect, the better. Wang Wenqing of Nanfeng, Jiangxi Province is asked to say that he has obtained the heavenly book that summons thunder and lightning and controls ghosts and gods. The thunder method he created is popular in the south of the Yangtze River. I will pray with him together.

, one begs for thunder, and it may rain. Jiangxi is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it takes exactly half a month to go back and forth with a whip.

Cai Jing was defeated in many battles, but became stronger as he got older. He decided to find a more skilled immortal to fight with Li Daotao. His confidant Liu Bing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, said that he had a cousin who was born handsome and had the same demeanor and demeanor.

The autumn moon shines brightly, my speech is as smooth as the spring clouds, I claim to be proficient

The magic spell can pray for the gods to come. If he was allowed to invite gods to talk to the emperor, then Taoist Lin would be dead. Cai Jing was very happy and told the emperor. The emperor decided to summon this living god, so Zhao Ji bathed and fasted for three days.

Wait for him to do it and ask the gods.

After Lin Lingsu heard about it, he immediately panicked. He immediately sent people to find this expert and wanted to form a powerful alliance with him. Unexpectedly, he was flatly rejected. Everyone was in the same industry and understood the ways of this kind of magic. The trick cannot be played by one person. Someone must cooperate. As long as this partner is broken up, everything will be fine. The imperial envoy Zhang Ruhui is a loyal believer in Lingsu. He greeted the Donghua Gate guard and let only one person in. As a result, the emperor had to wait for three days. Tian didn't even see the shadow of the god. In anger, he killed the fake god and exiled Liu Shangshu. As a result, Lao Cai lost his wife and lost his troops.

Lin Lingsu was really afraid of Cai Jing at first. After all, he had dominated the position for nearly twenty years and had countless disciples and old officials. At first, he was just passively defensive, hoping that he would retreat in the face of difficulties and that everyone would live in peace and remain friends. But Cai Jing refused to comply. Lin Lingsu was not merciful and came to the door again and again. Lin Lingsu was also annoyed and decided to play a defensive counterattack to let him know how powerful the gods were.

Lin Lingsu soon found out that Grand Master Cai favored his younger son Cai Sui, which aroused Cai You's great resentment. Cai You was nearly fifty years old and won the emperor's favor by pacing his horse and sending women to be buffoons. His goal was to be promoted to the position of Prime Minister, and the old man My father had no intention of giving in, and actually wanted to support Cai Sui to become Xiangye's successor. The struggle for power was definitely not gentle and modest. They often fought against each other, and the relatives did not know each other.

According to the regulations at that time, everyone from princes and nobles to officials must accept the secret of Shenxiao. This is a matter of political stance and reflects which side you sit on. However, Cai Sui has no feelings for Lin Shenxian and has no feelings for her at all. He didn't urinate in his pot, but he forgot that Lin Shenxian is the spokesperson of the emperor. If you don't pay attention to Taoism, you just don't keep in line with the leader. To put it bluntly, it's contempt for the emperor. What a hat!

Lin Lingsu was in charge of imparting the secret of Shenxiao, and had a superior-subordinate relationship with Cai You in the Shangqing Baolu Palace, so he asked Cai You to persuade his brothers to ask this secret to go home quickly, otherwise it would be difficult for both of them if the emperor knew about it. Do. Then Cai Youzheng was worried that he could not help his brother, so he became angry immediately, and immediately killed his relatives and jointly reported it to the leader of the emperor!

As a result, he could figure it out with his toes. The emperor was furious after reading the memorial. He thought about the matter of promoting Taoism. You Cai Jing has been doing it for four or five years and there has been no progress, but the person I selected only took half a year to open up the situation. , you are still jealous of the virtuous and can support you everywhere. Now you, father and son, are singing opposite roles to me. If I don’t show your color, you will ruin my great cause! The imperial pen issued: "I agree that Lang Huiyou Pavilion will be promoted to longevity. I observed that the envoy Cai Sui was arrogant and lawless, so he was removed from his post and sent to Xinzhou for supervision, and was not allowed to move freely."

Taishi Cai was shocked when he heard the news and burst into tears. His son had been pampered since he was a child, and he would burp in a few days after arriving in that barren land. What's more serious is that the eldest son who has passed on the disease will not wait until the younger son goes to exile. He would have to die on the street! Now only because Cai Yun was newly mourned, he gained some time and was able to suspend the execution. Cai Jing went to the palace several times to plead for mercy, but was rejected by the emperor. This was unimaginable in the past.

The Grand Master was repeatedly frustrated, and the members of the Cai family were panicked and began to look for a way out. Even their confidants for decades, the Tongyi doctor, the Huiyou Pavilion pending the system, and the general cargo manager Wei Bochu, defected and went to Wang Fu's command. Cai Jing is now The people are betrayed, separated from their relatives, troubled internally and externally, and faced another crisis of downfall!

In this battle with Lin Lingsu, Master Cai was not fighting alone. There was another person who was also fighting against him, but his methods were more naive and his defeat was even worse, that is the current prince Zhao Huan.

Not to mention that Zhao Ji didn't like Zhao Huan as the crown prince. Ever since he established him, he never wanted to replace him. The two men were also very troubled about religious issues. The Zhao family has been devout Taoist believers for generations, but when Zhao Huan came to this

He actually became a Buddhist. He saw that the number of monks in his motherland was becoming increasingly rare.

However, the sales of wigs were extremely prosperous. The signs of the Buddhist temples in the past were changed into the Wanshou Palace. Even the bronze cymbals, bronze statues, and gongs hidden in the temples had to be handed over to the officials for destruction, and the homes of the common people were also destroyed.

Applying this order, for a while the Taoist temple was bustling with people, and the front door of the Buddhist temple was cooling down, which made him anxious!

Zhao Huan was also simple-minded. He thought that the emperor only liked Taoist priests because of their great supernatural powers, and the Buddha's Bodhisattvas, Arhat Vajra, and the four kings could also call the wind and rain, and subjugate demons. So he summoned several eminent monks to

He wanted to fight with the Taoist priest. So a big drama was staged in the main hall, in which the son challenged Lao Tzu and the monk fought the Taoist priest.

Because only the prince and his ministers were present, the details are unknown. It is said that after a fist and foot competition and a Taoist competition, the monk was completely defeated and the Taoist priest won a complete victory. This made Zhao Huan very hurt, but he still had the courage to plead with the emperor.

Said: Fighting is from the world of gods and immortals

, punishment is in the mortal world. Even if the monk loses, there is no need to punish him. But Lin Lingsu doesn’t want to do it. What he wants is winning or losing, what he wants is ups and downs, and he must be punished. So the monk was imprisoned and had tattoos on his face.

Sent to a remote mountainous area to practice Taoism!

Thinking about the prince of a country who can't speak as well as a Taoist priest, it can be said that he has suffered a great shame and humiliation. Just think about Zhao Huan's mood, I am afraid that he has eaten his heart. Now the two have formed a mortal enemy, and

The emperor is even less interested in the prince!

In the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, the public minister, had the official say; Tong Guan, the concubine prime minister, was in charge of the northwest army, the strongest force in the empire; and Liang Shicheng, the hidden prime minister, copied more than half of the emperor's strength. Originally, the three pillars reached a delicate balance, but now they have been replaced by Lin Lingsu, the dark horse.

With one disturbance, the peace that had lasted for many years was broken.

Cai Jing's failure in the struggle and his son's betrayal greatly damaged his strength. His voice in the court became much quieter. His long-time partner, the once famous eunuch Yang Jian, has now reached the height of Jiedushi. It is said that he has

With such a status and authority, Yang Jianman can make a big impact

He wanted to compete with Liang Shicheng for the fighter plane among the eunuchs and get a taste of the first place in the harem. But he didn't. He was very smart and knew how to advance and retreat. He didn't bother Liang Yinxiang who held the national talisman. Tong Guan is far away now.

In the northwest, they are busy opening up territory and expanding their territory, but they are beyond the reach of matters in Beijing.

Liang Shicheng formed a strategic alliance with Lin Lingsu externally. His godson Wang Fu is currently serving as the Shaozai and the Minister of Zhongshu. He is under the Grand Master Cai Jing and the Grand Master Yu Shen, but his administration is directly based on the imperial edict.

There is no need for court discussion, and Lao Cai is not respected at all, because his favor is as high as the mountains and as deep as the sea.

People can compare. Internally, the Yanfu Palace complex in front is dazzling and extraordinary. Being able to preside over it is a symbol of status. Cai Jing cannot grab it. With Tong Guan's strength, he has to share it with several colleagues.
