Liang Tao couldn't answer the questions of young people at all, and in terms of system, the household department was special, and unlike the other five departments, it was subordinate to the province. The household department is an empty shelf, the real power is in the province, and in the hands of the three envoys, he has no real power in the household department!

There are no secrets at the imperial court, especially when all parties are nervously watching.

The political hall has moved repeatedly, the three officials have also dispatched troops, and the palace is filled with an aura of slaughter, who can not be frightened!

Tailoring Institute, Cai You has attracted a lot of attention since he sent ginseng to Lu Dafang on behalf of Zhao Xu.

Even though in the eyes of the higher-ups, Zhao Xu is just a puppet emperor, but in the eyes of others, Zhao Xu is the emperor, a supreme and untouchable existence.

Therefore, Cai You has really had some scenery recently, and his status in the tailoring institute has soared, and he is also surrounded by people in the center everywhere he passes.

Such a big thing happened, Cai You naturally got the news as soon as possible.

He got off work in a hurry and ran to the house.

Although he is young, he grew up in an official family like the Cai family, especially his father and uncle, who were once in high positions and have a lot of knowledge. plus a mind to 'revive the lintel', at the moment is struggling in my heart.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he went straight to the west courtyard and found a middle-aged man reading a book in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Before Cai You could come forward, he hurriedly stopped, took a deep breath, sorted out his appearance, stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "Sir." ”

The middle-aged man looked handsome, with a look of confidence all over his body, and when he heard this, he put down the book, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Yanai came back a little early today. ”

Cai You was fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was quite mature, and said with a serious face: "Something happened." The official family originally wanted to promote his father to be the envoy, but the third envoy, Su Xianggong, resolutely opposed it, and wanted to hold a court to decide, and the official family was forced to agree. ”

The middle-aged man was smiling, but after listening to it, he gradually became thoughtful, and said in a moment: "The court's discussion...... Su Xianggong is forcing the official family to retreat, and there is no way to retreat. ”

Cai You was worried and said, "Yes." My father was personally named by the official family, and it was also the reason for this matter, if the court was opened, the official family would not be able to succeed. ”

The middle-aged man still thought to himself, and said: "In this case, the official family is in a worrying situation, and the Cai family will also suffer a great disaster." ”

Cai You's expression was solemn, which was also the reason why he ran back in a hurry.

The Cai family has been tied to the official family, and all losses will be lost, the official family will not be good, and their Cai family will be the first to be unlucky!

"Sir, what can be done?" Cai You looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man was still pondering, Cai You asked, but did not ask, and waited quietly.

As if half of the incense had passed, the middle-aged man raised his head and said, "If you want to help the official family survive this catastrophe, you must let the ministers loosen their mouths." The core of this matter is not the adults of your family, but the continuous attacks of the officials on the three phases, which has aroused the vigilance of the ministers. If you want to solve it, either the official family has enough strength to block the mouths of the courtiers, or the empress dowager stands on the side of the official family. ”

Cai You shook his head and said: "The Empress Dowager is also an old party, and she will not help the official family, I am afraid that she will suppress the official family together." Sir, don't forget that the Empress Dowager was the one who persecuted Shenzong and prompted Mr. Banshan to be deposed. ”

Mid-levels, Wang Anshi is called 'Mr. Banshan' in the world.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, looked at Cai You, and said, "Yamen, do you want to gamble?" ”

Cai You was stunned and said, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I know that the government has great ambitions, but there is no chance, and now the official family is in trouble, if the official family can help the official family through this difficulty, he must be a first-class meritorious hero, and he will be prosperous and just around the corner." ”

Cai You was first overjoyed and then shocked, his face tightened, and he said cautiously: "If the official family does not succeed, I will never have a bright future?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

Cai You looked at the middle-aged man, his expression was solemn, and then he kept changing.

He doesn't have his father, and his second uncle's talent has lost all hope of a career, and if he wants to make a difference, he can only find another way. Getting the appreciation of the official family is undoubtedly the best way, but this road is also very risky and a big gamble!

If you win the bet, you will soar and become rich, and your wealth will be unimaginable; If you lose the bet, you will lose this life!

The middle-aged man looked at Cai You quietly, without urging or explaining anything.

Cai You's face changed, he struggled in his heart for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely, the corners of his face twitched again and again, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I am willing to gamble once, and please give me advice!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, and said, "Yanai really lives up to expectations. ”

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Cai Youdao: "Take a good look at the Yanai and give it to the official family as a letter of nomination." ”

Cai You took it, pulled out the paper inside, and just hurriedly swept it and exclaimed, "How dare they!" ”

The middle-aged man was also solemn and said, "This may be the tip of the iceberg." ”

Cai You thinks he is bold, but the content on these pieces of paper is called bold! Even in the Cai family, he had never thought of such a terrible thing!

Cai You read it carefully, and was still shocked, and said: "This is the military salary for Huanqing Road, and they dare to swallow it like this?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This is not the first time, I'm afraid there are more Dao Dao inside." The Privy Council must also be aware of it. ”

Cai You suddenly woke up and said, "What does Mr. mean, with this, the official family can control the three envoys Su Xianggong?" Forcing him to let go? ”

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "This thing will definitely be of great use in the hands of the officials." But how to use it is exquisite, if it is really thrown out directly, the court will be ugly, and the officials will not please it. ”

"This is a move to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, and the official family should not do this."

Cai You answered, and he was already thinking of a way for Zhao Xu in his heart.

The middle-aged man looked at Cai You's serious expression and reminded, "Yanei, don't think too much. When you should hide it, you must hide it. I look at this official family, Taoguang has been obscure for many years, silent, and once he made a move, the three prime ministers were embarrassed, so that it triggered this court discussion. If you're too smart, you're not beautiful. ”

Cai You was stunned and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Middle-aged humanitarian: "Just do not say, say less and do more, do not say right and wrong, and do not be friends or parties." ”

Cai You savored these sixteen words, and said puzzledly: "If you don't invite credit, how can the officials see it?" Besides, how can you gain a foothold in the imperial court? ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yanai might as well remember my words first, and slowly distinguish them in the future." ”

Cai You thought about it and said, "Okay." Then I'll go to the tailoring institute now, and send this thing in because the official's clothes have been ready. ”

As soon as Cai You turned around, the middle-aged man stopped him again, and said in a solemn voice: "Remember, this matter has nothing to do with the two bachelors. ”

'Two bachelors' refers to Cai You's father Cai Jing and second uncle Cai Bian.

This Cai You knew it, and said, "Yes." ”

After speaking, Cai You picked up the paper bag and hurried to the tailoring institute again.

The middle-aged man looked at his back and whispered to himself, "I'm curious how this official will use this thing." ”

At the same time, the time for the imperial court yamen to get off work was slowly approaching, and Zhao Xu stood under the eaves of the Funing Palace, watching the sunset, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently.

Chen Pi stood behind Zhao Xu, vaguely guessing what Zhao Xu was going to do, trembling and trembling.

That's the three envoys, one of the three phases, you can't mess around!

"Liu Heng!"

Zhao Xu looked at the outside of the palace and suddenly said in a deep voice.

Liu Heng was the one who played a trick and asked Zhao Xu to remember his name when he was juju for the first time.

Liu Heng was tall and burly, with a straight face at the moment, he strode forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general!" ”

Zhao Xu took out a gold medal from his arms and said in a deep voice: "I order you, hold the gold medal, lead two hundred forbidden troops, and immediately seal up Ji Province." Everyone is imprisoned in the backyard, and no one is allowed to approach without my will! Chen Pi, the Ministry of Justice, and the Imperial Historical Observatory will audit all the accounts of the province and interrogate everyone! ”

Really!

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu, staring at the gold medal in his hand, speechless in shock.

Sealing up Ji Province and detaining Su Zhe, the third envoy, what a big move this must be!

In his memory, nothing like this had ever happened!
