Wu Dalang: I really don't want to be an emperor

Chapter 4 Conquering Liangshan
Cai Jing has always been concerned about Wu Zhi's refusal of him.

Wu Zhi was so slapped in the face by Wu Zhi, who thought he was an upright and upright prime minister, which made him very annoyed.

However, although Cai Jing is the prime minister, it is not so easy to move Wu Zhi, who has the golden mace of the dragon.

"Yes, this time, what should you do with Wu Zhi?"

Cai Jing, who was thinking about how to deal with Wu Zhi, suddenly thought of something, and started talking to himself with bright eyes, his face full of sinister.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhi was woken up.

"My lord, it's time to go up!"

There is no way, as the commander in front of the palace, Wu Zhi must go to court.

In the first few days, Zhao Ji didn't want to go.

This time, for some reason, he was suddenly summoned to court.

Wu Zhi was also quite annoyed.

"almost ready."

Although he didn't want to talk to Zhao Ji, at least he had to do it.

Otherwise, some are troublemakers.

After Wu Zhi put on his court clothes, he took a strange jade board and walked into the Wende Palace with many ministers.

At this time, Zhao Ji has not arrived yet.

"It's good to be the emperor. If you don't come by yourself, let us wait."

Wu Zhi was quite dissatisfied with what Zhao Ji made him wait for.

However, there is no way, who calls him the emperor?

"The butler is here!"

Accompanied by a rooster-like crow, the yawning Zhao Ji walked in, wearing a yellow dragon robe and a crown facing the sky.

In his hand, he was still holding the magical painting Wu Zhi sent, A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

As soon as Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, there were servants who spoke to many ministers of His Royal Highness.

Ever since he became obsessed with the painting of Ascending the River during the Qingming Festival, Zhao Ji is no longer interested in court affairs.

If it wasn't for Cai Jing's proposal this time, I wouldn't even bother to hold it.

Even when he came to the Hall of Wende, Zhao Ji devoted himself to admiring the magic painting in his hand.

There was no intention to handle such a small matter in the court personally.

In Wende Hall, Wenwu is divided into two columns.

Naturally, among the civil officials, Taishi Cai Jing is the head, and among the military officials, the Privy Envoy Tong Guan is the most respected.

As for Wu Zhi, although he is considered number one in the Forbidden Army, he can only be ranked at the back when he is above the court.

"Report to the official family, and the old minister has something to report."

Cai Jing was the first to speak.

Holding the jade board in his hand, he walked out from the servants and saluted Zhao Ji.

"Oh, what's the Grand Master going to play?"

For Cai Jing, Zhao Ji rarely paid attention to it, even put down the magic painting Qingming Shanghe Tu in his hand, and asked.

"Returning to the official family, a few days ago, Chen Zongshan took the imperial edict of the official family to Zhao'an, Liangshan. Unexpectedly, the thief leader Song Jiang not only tore up the imperial edict of the official family, but also cursed at His Majesty. Even Chen Zongshan was tortured by the bandits for a long time , almost didn't come back..."

Cai Jing spoke and reported to Zhao Ji angrily.

"Bold Liangshan bandits, how dare you insult me!"

Zhao Ji was furious when he heard that he was insulted by Song Jiang and that the edict was torn up.

For Zhao Ji, who had always been mediocre, Liang Shanbo was like touching his back.

"Who was the one who suggested Zhao'an to me last time?"

While hating Liang Shanbo, Zhao Ji also hated the person he proposed last time.

When Liangshanbo caused trouble, he originally planned to send troops directly to suppress it.

However, some ministers suggested Zhao'an, saying that Zhao'an could come here without any effort and save national power.

Zhao Ji agreed to the proposal at that time.

However, he never expected that Liang Shanbo would dare to be so reckless.

"Reporting to the housekeeper, the person who suggested the order was Cui Jing, the imperial historian..."

Under Zhao Ji's anger, many ministers did not dare to hide it, and immediately pushed out the proposer.

"Where is Dali Temple? Put Zhang Cuijing into prison."

Long Yan was furious, Zhao Ji did not hesitate at all, and directly put Cui Jing into prison.

"Officials, now is not the time to get angry. The thieves in Liangshanbo have done evil and have been fighting against the imperial court under the banner of upholding justice for heaven. They should be eliminated this morning to avoid becoming a powerful enemy and becoming a nuisance to the Song Dynasty."

After Zhao Ji's mood eased, Cai Jing proposed to Zhao Ji again.

"What the grand master said is very true, all the nobles, who is willing to take command and go to war?"

Zhao Jijue felt that Cai Jing's words made sense, and looked at the many ministers in the audience.

However, what made Zhao Ji angry was that the hundreds of ministers in the audience all lowered their heads under his gaze, not daring to look directly.

"You bunch of idiots!"

Seeing that no one was willing to go on the expedition, Zhao Ji was immediately furious.

"Officials, Liangshanbo is in a dangerous terrain and has a heavy army. It will be difficult for idlers to go there, and it will be difficult to win. The person in command must be a person with both civil and military skills."

At this time, Cai Jing spoke again.

The eyes are still vaguely looking at Wu Zhi, with a flash of complacency.

It seems to be telling Wu Zhi that if he offends himself, there will be no good end.

Wu Zhi pretended not to notice Cai Jing's wink, and his face was very calm.

"Then, does the Grand Master have someone to recommend?"

Seeing Cai Jing put forward a suggestion, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at him.

"The veteran recommended one person, he is the commander in front of the palace, Wu Zhi. Master Wu is not only the world's literary champion, but also the martial arts leader. He is the most suitable candidate for the expedition."

Cai Jing opened his mouth, and without Wu Zhi's surprise, he threw this problem to himself.

On the surface, it seems that he really cares about himself.

But in fact, it is harboring evil intentions.

Everyone knows that Liang Shanbo is hard to destroy.

He recommended Wu Zhi, the purpose is self-evident.

"What the grand master said is reasonable, Wu Zhi is the most suitable candidate."

After Cai Jing opened his mouth, some of his colleagues immediately agreed with him.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

One after another, Wuzhi was in command and went out to fight, and the whole court agreed.

Cai Jing's power in the court can be seen.

"Commander Wu, what do you think?"

Zhao Ji has long been under the control of Wuzhi's magic painting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Wuzhi's puppet, of course he dare not make his own decisions.

"Reporting to the official family, since the grand master recommended it, and many colleagues agree, it is my duty to do so!"

Wu Zhi looked at Cai Jing and all the civil and military officials, smiled, and nodded in agreement.

It was just right for him to go to Liangshanbo.

His main task was to subdue or kill one hundred and eight generals, and he just took this opportunity to complete it.

"Okay, since Commander Wu himself is willing to go on the expedition, then I will designate you as the peacemaker of the Jingdong Road Economic Strategy, and set off immediately to eliminate the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Wu Zhi also agreed, Zhao Ji happily appointed Wu Zhi as an official, and asked him to be responsible for exterminating the bandits in Liangshanbo.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wu Jinglue!"

After going down to court, Cai Jing was the first to congratulate Wu Zhi with a sarcastic smile.

In his opinion, even if Wu Zhi didn't die this time, he would have to shed a layer of skin.

If the Liangshan bandits were so easy to wipe out, they wouldn't have waited until now.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wu."

After Cai Jing, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty came to congratulate him.

It's just that in the smile, it's more of schadenfreude.
