During the days when he first took over the Dragon Court, Zhao Ji was really excited and excited. After all, the opportunity to be an emperor is hard to come by. The taste of being an emperor is completely different from the taste of doing anything in the world. When infinite power brings people infinite corruption, it also brings him infinite satisfaction. All the people in the world surrender to their own feet, and the sun and the moon are all in their hands. What a pleasure it is. Once upon a time, Zhao Ji was in great ambitions and was full of confidence. He wanted to learn to open up the ancestors and ancestors who had a shocking cause.

When Zhao Ji was in power, he listened to various different opinions with humility, which was quite amazing. Prime Minister Zhang Shangying advised him to be diligent and thrifty, prevent luxury, not to build a large amount of construction, and suppress villains who were lucky enough to win favor. He expressed his full acceptance. Once, he asked someone to renovate Shengping Building and specifically warned the foreman: If Prime Minister Zhang passes here, he must quickly hide the workers in the building and not let him see it. There was once a very brave minister who criticized eunuchs such as Tong Guan for their misconduct, quoted classics and talked freely, and talked until the end of the night. Zhao Ji was hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and walked.

He said: Let's go here today. I'm hungry. I'll find an opportunity to listen to you. Unexpectedly, this young man stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's clothes and refused to let him go, so he tore them all. Huizong shouted: "If you have something to say, I'll tore my clothes to pieces." The minister immediately replied: "Your Majesty will tear my clothes to pieces, so why should I repay Your Majesty if I'm crushed to pieces!" Zhao Ji was very moved and said: "With such a minister, what else can I worry about?" The emperor's servant came to change his clothes for him. He said: "Keep it well for me and use it to commend the upright and honest ministers in the future."

At this time, Zhao Ji seemed to like honest and upright ministers. Once, a county magistrate who was in good governance was recommended to him. He summoned this person to talk to him. When he found that this person was really good, he promoted him to become the censor of the palace and said to him: "Now the scholars and officials are shameless and shameless. You know the truth. This is why I specially summoned you." There was a Secretariat, who was equivalent to the confidential secretary who drafted edicts for the emperor. He was frank and upright. Huizong said to him, "Every time I listen to these ministers, I always feel that it is either treacherous or flattering. And you are honest and upright, I can only rely on someone like you."

Unfortunately, this vigorous atmosphere lasted very short. After less than a year in power, Zhao Ji felt bored. The endless work every day, such as reviewing memorials, summoning ministers, discussing government affairs, formulating laws and regulations, etc., are the same, and they are repeated, complicated and trivial, making Zhao Ji feel boring. The country is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change, and his real interest is not originally on this. Discussing the gains and losses of a painting of landscapes, flowers and birds.

Zhao Ji could discuss with others for several hours and remained interested. He discussed a tax law and regulations, and he yawned in the sky before three o'clock. Whenever he was at this time, he missed the days when he was Duan. He cooked wine and recited poems, and watched the moon in the wind and enjoyed the moon. Sometimes he even regretted it, thinking that he really shouldn't be the emperor who worked hard for many years and was plagued by government affairs, but he was uninteresting and troubled.

When he first saw "Journey to the West", Zhao Ji was almost shocked. When he finished reading the single book in his hand all night, it was already 5th update. He didn't sleep all night and went to court. He was completely energetic and completely different from the usual listlessness. After going to court, he went to court to ask the minister Cai Jing and asked him that he was a book friend in the same trench. Cai Jing also took the opportunity to introduce another way of the folk legend "Journey to the West" - a storytelling book. However, when Zhao Ji finally took the opportunity to come out and taste it, he was still in the old tune in the past. How could this not make him feel discouraged?

"Master, why don't we go for some other fun early?" Zhang Di, the confidant eunuch, carefully pleased Zhao Ji, who was stunned and ecstatic, and naturally went to buy spring. However, there was no further text in the later part of "Journey to the West", which made Zhao Ji lose interest in everything and looked sick.

Zhang Di naturally knew this man's heart. It was the first time he saw his master care so much about a book. It turned out that the thread-bound book in the palace had been turned on by Zhao Ji, and almost every poem could be recited. Every day, the princes and grandchildren even pestered this Journey to the West fan, telling the story of the four monks and disciples who were not afraid of difficulties and killed demons. Zhao Ji became a kind old man in the eyes of his children and grandchildren. Compared with the Lingxiao fairy aura that was originally emitted from his body, he now has a little more humane feeling, more down-to-earth, and a likable old man.

Zhao Ji was in his thirties. In a few years, he would enter his forties. The Song people were generally only in their fifties, and the emperor's lifespan was shorter. This was not explained. His mood of seeking flowers and willows and the knot of "Journey to the West" seemed to fade gradually, so he did not respond to Zhang Di's proposal.

Today, when I bought a new single-book "Journey to the West" at a high price in the bookstore, Zhao Ji touched and touched again and again, and smelled again and again, making the bookstore owner think he was a nouveau riche from the countryside. If it weren't for Zhao Ji, Zhang Di and the slutty masters around him would have been so ugly that they would have come out of his mouth.

"Master, the prime minister came yesterday and told me that the matter in Sichuan was gone."

"Is that so? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhao Ji became brisk and got up to go to Cai's Mansion to inquire.

I heard that "New Youth" comes from Chengdu Prefecture, and Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", is a woman with water-cut eyes and jade-like skin, which makes him even more interested. Since the rebellion in the west has subsided, does it mean that there will be some information soon?

Wu Chengen is a woman, Cai Jing told him, and it is no wonder that the people he sent out to inquire about the details. Every time Wu Yonglin secretly handed the draft of "Journey to the West" serialized the next day to Huang Miaohao one day in advance. She made illustrations and copied a draft based on the above story. To outsiders, Huang Miaohao seemed to be the actual author of "Journey to the West".

The Taishi Cidi in the east of Tokyo is a large mansion built and renovated along the north bank of the Bian River. It is famous for relying on the Taishi Bridge. Tokyo people may not know where the Taishi Palace is located, but when asked about the Taishi Bridge, even eight or nine-year-old children will answer neatly: "Dad, you have lived so big, and ask where the Taishi Bridge is. Who doesn't know the 'Spring Breeze and Willow Taishi Bridge' is right in front of the large mansion at the entrance of Laoya Lane, Biandong Street."

"Spring Breeze and Willow Taishi Bridge" was originally a poem, but now it has become popularized to become a spoken language for children. The reputation of Taishi Bridge can be imagined. Not bad! Taishi Bridge is facing the gate of Cai Jing's Cidi. As Cai Jing's official rank continues to rise and the scope of Cidi's building continues to expand, the bridge has been renovated again and again, and its appearance is beyond the past. The current Taishi Bridge is red railings, red carvings, and jade stairs and stone piers. Its exquisiteness and ingenuity are completely comparable to Cai Jing's identity. Although this bridge is far away from Cai Jing, it was called "Taishi Bridge" by his family when he was a bachelor's degree.

This mansion has been renovated several times. In the years when Cai Jing retired, in order not to lose the opportunity to make a comeback, and to avoid giving people the impression that "cars and horses are ignored" - this is a prime minister who has been abolished and an old boss, outdated famous prostitutes are also most afraid of - he pays more attention to building and decorating the storefront than in the past. Sometimes it is the favor of Yin Shengzhang of Kaifeng, and sometimes it is Zhu Xie, who is in charge of the Genyue Project, throws a few pieces of leftover meat and bones to him, and sometimes he has to pay out of his own pocket, but in short, he has built the garden of the house and the roads and bridges more particular than when he was the prime minister.

Cai Jing, whose courtesy name was Yuanchang, had a very good ambition and was quite famous. He was well-versed in classics and history, had a beautiful poem, and had a high style of writing. He was particularly fond of calligraphy and was good at various styles. His companion Cai Xiang was known as the leader of the Four Calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, and Jing could go hand in hand with him. He was versatile, and only Su Shi could compare with him in contemporary times. During the Xining period, he supported the new law and was valued by Wang Anshi. In the late Yuanfeng period, he was known as Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhang Dun attached Cai Que, and tried to establish the current emperor, but failed to succeed. Sima Guang was appointed as the left prime minister, and Cai Jing defected to the old party, and took the lead in abolishing the new recruitment law and restoring the old law of service. In the early years of Shaosheng, Cai Jing became a new party and entered Beijing to serve as the Minister of Revenue. He suggested restoring the recruitment law and abolishing the service law. In ten years, he was a turnaround and was good at changing hands.

Cai Jing was originally an old minister of the previous dynasty. In the third year of Yuanfu, Zhao Ji, who had just ascended to the great treasure, tried to quell the struggle between the two factions by compromise since the Xining reforms, so he appointed Zeng Bu as the right prime minister and Han Zhongyan, the leader of the old party, to achieve the goal of unity between the two factions. Given that the political situation was not clear enough, Cai Jing was willing to learn from the past lessons, and then violated the two possibilities, but wanted to take the shortcut to speculation. Instead, he colluded with eunuchs and tried to rely on internal transmission to climb upwards. For this reason, he violated the taboos of the Song Dynasty court and was exposed. He was exiled and was exiled again. He went to Hangzhou to become a high-level official who was "Tiju Dongxiao Palace".

Cai Jing was demoted because he had been prime minister for six years in the Zhezong Dynasty and continued to be prime minister for nine months in the Huizong Dynasty.

This Zhang Dun is an old friend of Su Dongpo. He was famous for his talent and generousness when he was young. He is a kind of person who is very versatile with Su Dongpo. They once went out together to travel together. When they were about to reach the Hei Shui Valley, they encountered a deep mountain and old forest in Luguan. They were about to reach the Hei Shui Valley. They encountered a deep abyss with rapids below and roared with only a single-wood narrow bridge above. Zhang Dun suggested that the two of them pass through the cliff opposite to write inscriptions. Su Dongpo refused, and Zhang Dun seemed to be silent.

He walked through the single-plank bridge in the abyss, then tucked his robe at his waist, grabbed an old vine and swung it to the other side of the rapids, wrote six big words "Su Shi, Zhang Dun traveling here" on the cliff, and then returned to the shore calmly. Su Dongpo's reaction to this was to pat the other person's shoulder and say, "In the future, you guy will kill people without blinking." Zhang Dun asked, "Why do you come from here?" Su Dongpo replied, "People who don't care about their own lives will definitely not take other people's lives seriously."

Taking Wang Anshi's reform as an opportunity, Zhang Dun gradually became the main general of the reform sect, and Su Dongpo immediately joined the camp against reform, and with his reputation as a heyday and his official reputation became one of the main oppositions that made the reform sect particularly uncomfortable. When Zhezong ruled, he only took a little more than six years, and Zhang Dun was the prime minister for six years. He indeed proved that Su Dongpo's judgment was good at that time by ruthlessly not leaving anyone, including himself. At the beginning, in order to implement his political ideals, Wang Anshi had also exiled his political enemies; now compared with what Zhang Dun did, we will soon find that Wang Anshi can be described as gentle and kind. Only in Zhang Dun's case, people finally understood what **** and political murder were.

Therefore, this prime minister, who was known for his unscrupulous attack on the opposition, became the first object of liquidation in the Chuzheng of Huizong. In the past, Zhang Dun had remediated too many people, and now almost as many people have asked for punishment. In the end, he was finally exiled to Leizhou Island, which is our Hainan Province today. There, Zhang Dun encountered the humiliation that might have been the last time he had brought to himself in his life. When he demoted his old friend Su Dongpo and his younger brother here, he once made a new rule: ordering that they were not allowed to live in the dormitory of the public. So Su Dongpo's younger brother, Su, who once served as deputy prime minister, was the

Che had to rent a private house to live. Unexpectedly, the prime minister was still unwilling to let go and said that Su Che forced the house to take over the house and ordered local government officials to punish him. He forced Su Che to take out the lease contract and go to court to escape this disaster. Now, this former prime minister, who was once arrogant, has also been demoted to this place. When he rented a private house according to the rules he set, the answer was: When Su Xianggong came to rent a house, Prime Minister Zhang almost killed us a little, and no one dared to rent a house for you. We cannot figure out his mood at this moment, and it must be better. The former prime minister never returned to the capital again and died quietly in the place where he was demoted.

Cai Jing was very scheming. After hiding his strength in Hangzhou for two years, he was appointed by Huizong Zhao Ji at his age at an age of 70. The prophet Daming Mansion was successively promoted to the Left Secretary of the Shangshu, and the Right Pushe was the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Soon after, he became a nobleman and the Minister of the Left Master, and became a figure above one person. Since then, during the Huizong period, he served as prime minister four times and held power for seventeen years. Although there were ups and downs during this period, he quickly became a dangerous person and became the leader of the most favored minister of Zhao Ji. The reason for this was that in addition to his ability to make power and make good at scheming, and indeed had relatively strong ruling ability, there was another thing that should not be ignored, that is, he and Huizong Zhao Ji had high similarities in interests and hobbies.

"Listening to the Piano Picture" is a representative work of figure paintings handed down by Emperor Huizong of Song. This painting is breathtaking. The piano player on the picture is a self-portrait of Song Huizong, who was notorious in later generations, and the piano listener in red robe is his prime minister - Cai Jing, who was also notorious in later generations.

This beautiful picture, which is a masterpiece, has fateful suggestive and symbolic significance. It shows us a meaningful picture of the same body as the king and his subjects, and sharing weal and woe. Without the piano, there will naturally be no listeners; without the piano player, there will be no one who listens to the piano, and there will be no one who listens to the piano. If there are both players and listeners, and the two parties are intimate and have a tacit understanding, it will be interesting and vivid. In many aspects, Song Huizong and Cai Jing, the devastated king and minister, happen to be such a pair of soulmates.
