Cai Jing likes exotic flowers and stones in his calligraphy. In order to cater to his wishes, as early as the first year of Zhenguan in Zhao Ji, that is, the first year of Chongning, Cai Jing set up a labor bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou to plunder the people's wealth and recruit thousands of skilled craftsmen to produce exquisitely crafted, ingeniously shaped and useful products. Crafts with exquisite materials and high cost were made for the emperor to enjoy. Cai Jing also specially found two big businessmen in Suzhou, Zhu and his son, to wholesale flowers and stones. Everyone had flowers, trees and strange stones available, so they went directly to others to grab them, and then transported them to Tokyo in batches. Coupled with the extortion by officials, many people sold their children, their families were ruined, and many people complained. Cai Jing is a hedonist. He said that he was rich and prosperous, advocated high consumption, regarded the country's property as dirt, built large-scale construction projects, and was squandered. In a few years, he swept through the reserves of previous generations. This wanton arrogance combined with Zhao Ji's indulgence and pursuit of enjoyment made him. Under the leadership of Cai Jing, large-scale construction work was carried out, the interior of the palace was repaired, and the Chuangjing Palace Bell and the Eleventh Hall of Fuyuan were renovated. Cai Jing asked Zhao Ji to say: Fang Quan's cumulative profit is 50 million, which is enough for entertainment and enough wealth to give gifts. After four years of worship, Jiuding succeeded. That is, nine halls were built in the CUHK First Peace Palace. All the halls are walled and have small enclosures on the walls. They are paved with natural soil and surrounded by high walls. They are also called Jiuzheng Palace. In December of the second year of Zheng He, Yanfu Palace was rebuilt. Fu Palace was founded in the early years of politics. Cai Jing sent his servants Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He Wu, and Lan Congxi, five of whom were assigned to serve as laborers. As far as their eyesight is concerned, they compete to boast of their luxury. He also dug a pond for the sea, built He Village and Luzhai Village, and raised many rare birds and animals. Pavilions and pavilions face each other, with jagged rocks and blooming flowers, just like a heavenly palace. In three years, it was Taipingtang. In five years, the Chengsanshan River Bridge was completed, and in August it was completed in the Tang and Ming Dynasties. After the founding of the Tang and Ming Dynasties, Cai Jing was promoted to Duke Chenlu. In the seventh year, Cai Jing ordered Meng Tuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, to build a mountain to the east of Shangqing Baogong Palace, imitating the Phoenix Mountain in Yuhang, and named it Long live Mountain. In August of the first year of Xuanhe, the new museum of Bohe was built, with various antique flowers and stones. Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Cai Jing's performance. Zhao Ji had a great time and wrote a poem: Qiong Yao is scattered in a dense forest, cypress trees and bamboos are mixed with each other, and the sky is cloudy at noon. When Xu Chen left, I didn't know how deep it was in the five clouds. Together with Cai Jing and Cai Jing, they created a song: Li in Baohe New Hall, Xu in Cai Jingli. Yan is drunk with wine, he is also happy and drunk. An Fei appeared in Zhenxuan. In the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign, Wanshou Mountain was built and renamed Liang Yue. It is more than ten feet high, and is dotted with strange rocks and jade stones in Taihu Lake. There are mountains and obstacles. There are herds of elk in the mountains, exotic flowers and rocks, pavilions and pavilions, and golden walls. As a result, Cai Jing was promoted and gave up positions frequently. Cai Jing's mansion was decorated gorgeously, and there was no distinction between monarch and minister. Zhao Ji's gift was only a small part. With the power in his hands, Cai Jing used clever names to rob countless people. Every year, on Cai Jing's birthday, bureaucrats from all over the world compete to flatter him, sending money, silk and rare local products. Cai Jing's life was extremely luxurious, with numerous concubines and countless slaves. It is said that Cai's chef has a meticulous division of labor in the kitchen, and those who cut green onions never cut ginger. Cai Jing loves to drink soup, but every time he makes soup, he kills hundreds of them. In the third year of Chongning, Cai Jing learned that Song Dynasty was tired of listening to old tunes and liked to listen to new music. He was appointed as his guest, Music Master Liu Wei, and made bold reforms to the original instruments and rhythms to create a new set of music. Enough
Cai Jing further set a stage for Zhao Ji: If things are reasonable, there is no need to be afraid of saying more. Your Majesty should enjoy this world as a gift, how can you expect it to be just a jade article! Cai Jing's words made Zhao Ji feel very comfortable. At this time, Cai Jing said to his boss: People should regard the world as their home and peace as their entertainment. Why do they have to suffer? Zhao Ji nodded deeply. From then on, Zhao Ji often went out of the palace incognito, visited prostitutes, and had an affair with a man named Zhao Ji. In order for Tibetan people to serve as eyes and ears, Cai Jing set up a small market in the palace, where maids dressed as vendors sold wine and tea, while Zhao Ji dressed as a beggar and went from door to door begging for fun. This pair of brothers have turned the country's economy and the people's livelihoods behind them. Zhao Ji believes in Taoism and is interested in other arts. For a time, a large group of Taoist priests who spoke freely became guests, were awarded the title of gods and official positions, and became court officials. Twenty-six officials and others. Yes, all Taoist temples came to wait for Chen, register for school, teach Confucian classics, etc. It is equivalent to waiting in the imperial court to establish, repair and direct the cabinet. In Bianliang, Kyoto, and in temples across the country. Ten representatives of Taoist priests from different sects were sent to Beijing to visit and study.
Cai Jing also took this opportunity to instruct those Taoist priests to talk nonsense and talk nonsense to please Zhao Ji. The wizard Lin Lingsu said that Zhao Ji was the eldest son of the Jade Emperor, and his favorite concubine was Concubine Jiuhua Yu Zhen'an. Zhao Ji couldn't tell the difference between true and false, so he couldn't help but laugh. Cai Jing also suggested recording ancient Taoist events today. At this time, Chen Chaolao, a college student, listed fourteen crimes against Cai Jing: blasphemy, ignoring your father, engaging in Austrian aid, devaluing your salary, bribery with large sums of money, changing the political system, fake births, slandering foreign slaves, admonishing Taiwan, loving the party, Long time running, nostalgic, poor, arrogant. Censor Zhang also accused Cai Jing of the ten deadly sins of disloyalty, such as monopolizing the power of the world, giving small gifts of grain, privately giving cities, being deaf in service, and using clear boats to transport flowers and stones. Shi Gongbi, Shi Zhu and others also wrote many times to impeach Cai Jing. In desperation, Zhao Ji demoted Cai Jing to Prince Shaobao and moved out of Beijing to Hangzhou. But when Cai Jing left, Zhao Ji had nothing to do and felt very lost. The next year when he participated in political affairs, Zhao Ji missed his old friend, so he transferred Cai Jingzhao back to his side, asked him to serve as his assistant, and was named the Duke of Lu. He was required to enter the palace to discuss with the emperor every three days, and was actually asked to play with him. It's not that Zhao Ji didn't know the truth about treachery and wronging the country, but without Cai Jing's efforts and cover, it was difficult for him to satisfy his desires, so he took advantage of Cai Jing many times, so that Cai Jing was still in his hands even when he was over 80 years old. He was already old and hobbled, but he was still menacing and playing tricks.
