Cai Jing arrived in Bozhou much earlier than Zhao Jixiang and Gao Yu expected.

Although he is already eighty years old, although Zhao Jixiang changed his mind at the beginning, and although he was squeezed out of the core of the court by Tong Guan and his son Cai You, Cai Jing was loyal to Zhao Ji and rushed to Bozhou almost as soon as he received Zhao Ji's will.

After all, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty did not kill scholars, but it was more popular to exile scholars and doctors, and then let scholars return to bliss on the way to endless exile.

And Cai Jing, who is already eighty years old, is already old and decrepit, and can no longer withstand this toss, and now that he has the opportunity to return to the center, Cai Jing is naturally unwilling to let go.

As for issues such as offending today's officials, Cai Jing couldn't take care of it for a long time-

It was the current official Zhao Huan who asked Cai Jing to manage Nanjing as a secretary and supervisor, and then degraded Chongxin and Qingyuan as the deputy envoy of the military festival, lived in Hengzhou, and later prepared to move to Shao and Dan Erzhou.

Liang Zi had already been married, and Cai Tiao's sons all died in the hands of Zhao Huan, and the hatred between the two sides had long been irresolvable, so Cai Jing naturally didn't care about offending Zhao Huan more thoroughly.

"So, the formation is not the key."

Whether it is to compete for merit in front of Zhao Jixiang, or to add disgust to Zhao Huan, in short, Cai Jing is completely open-minded: "There is a lot of help in the capital, although Li Bangyan was imprisoned and Bai Shizhong was dismissed, but Cai You and Zhang Bangchang are useful." ”

"Zhang Bangchang may be useful, but it's just Ling Gongzi......"

Gao Yu said: "Although Ling Gongzi has the talent of Zaifu, he forced Cai Xiangshang to resign at the beginning, but now he refuses to reuse Ling Gongzi, but instead sends Ling Gongzi to Li Gang and Li Boji's subordinates. ”

"Isn't that just right?"

Cai Jing stroked his beard with a smile and said: "If the old man didn't remember, then Li Gang and Li Boji were also fortunate to advance, and now they were promoted to the defense envoy of the four cities, if Cai You is under his hands, it is also convenient to act." ”

"Hey."

Gao Yu sighed, put on a look of concern, and took a handful of muddy old tears before he continued: "It's a pity that when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, Ling Gongzi was sent by Li Boji to guard the East Water Gate. ”

"Capital punishment?"

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he wail more and more with old tears: "My You'er~!" ”

Tong Guan added in a timely manner: "Cai Xiangjie mourns." Because Ling Gongzi failed to defend the East Water Gate, and he didn't know why he was evil, he was sentenced to Dapi. ”

"Commentary" cloud: Refutation, sin also. Death is the greatest sin, so the death penalty is a great thing.

Just when Cai Jing secretly hated in his heart but still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that his son would only be slaughtered and not tortured, Tong Guan continued: "Ling Chi, that is, chopped alive, it is said that the only remaining bones were thrown to feed the dogs. ”

"Poof~~~!"

Cai Jing only felt a sweet throat, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood and then planted it on the ground, and was rescued by the imperial doctor who ran to Bozhou by Zhao Jixiang for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My son~~~! Faint! Faint! ”

Cai Jing cried and scolded: "How innocent my son is, he should be tortured like this!" This faint monarch doesn't even take the "Yuanfeng Order" and "Heavenly Saint Order" seriously! ”

According to the provisions of the "Yuanfeng Order" and the "Heavenly Sacred Order", before the execution of death row prisoners, "they should still be given food and drink", "listen to the words of relatives", "show their offenses", "they must not cover their mouths", "all those who are condemned to death row and complain about injustice shall be questioned by Chen Zuo", "all prisoners who have died and have no relatives shall be given coffins, and their coffins shall be given with official property, and their coffins shall be made with official goods, and bricks shall be placed in the circle, and a plaque shall be erected on it, and their names shall be written".

This kind of "temporary care" system, which can be called advanced in later generations, has actually been used by the ancestors for a long time, according to historical information, it also began in the Tang Dynasty "Prison Officer Order" at the latest.

But it's hard to say whether Cai You got the last meal of wine and food, but "listening to relatives' resignation" is obviously not, and Cai You was able to force himself to resign from the prime minister, and he is not a fool when he thinks about it, it is impossible not to know to shout grievances-

According to the provisions of the Song Law, as long as the prisoner complains before the execution, the case must be remanded for retrial, and the officials who have come into contact with the case must also avoid substitution to avoid unjust, false and wrongful cases, and this opportunity is full of three times.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, this opportunity was increased to five times, not to mention, and there was a prisoner who shouted ten times that he was wronged, and as a result, the case was really retried ten times, until the lawsuit was finally brought to Song Xiaozong, and Song Xiaozong personally tried and exonerated him from the death penalty.

In the same way, if Bao Zheng wants to use a guillotine knife in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, he needs to meet two conditions:

First, he was the crown prince in preparation and was ready to take over as emperor, because there was an unwritten rule in the Great Song Dynasty at that time that Kaifeng Mansion Yin should be concurrently served by the crown prince who would take over as emperor in the future.

Second, the prisoner did not cry out for injustice, because once the prisoner shouted injustice, he had to stop any kind of guillotine and remand the case for retrial, even if it was a guillotine given by the emperor, and Bao Zheng had to avoid it.

This is the benevolent government of the Great Song Dynasty, which is ahead of the benevolent government of the whole world for thousands of years.

But obviously, Cai You failed to enjoy this kind of benevolent governance, and the three opportunities to cry out for grievances were not used once, or Cai You used it, but it didn't play a role......

And even if Cai You calmly went to his death, he didn't cry out for injustice from the beginning to the landing of the head, this faint gentleman obviously didn't let his relatives collect the body, and later he didn't even give a coffin......

"Cai Xiangjie mourns."

Tong Guan saw that Cai Jing was not angry to death, and he also admired Cai Jing's mentality in his heart, and then found a way to add another fire: "In addition to Ling Gongzi basically being killed today, I heard that before he set out on the expedition, he also intended to issue an edict to let Cai Xiang commit suicide." ”

"This dog emperor! His mother! ”

Cai Jing couldn't care about Zhao Huan beside him, and he couldn't even care about any monarchs and ministers, so he directly began to scold: "This dog emperor just wants to kill my Cai family!" ”

"Cai Qing wants to go to Danzhou next?"

Cai Jing scolded his mother, Zhao Jixiang's face was not very good-I am still beside me, did you scold Zhao Huan and bring me in?

"Weichen should be damned!"

Cai Jing, who was extremely angry, reacted at this time, and hurriedly bowed down to Zhao Jixiang to ask for guilt: "The minister lost his temper for a while, and I hope the official family will forgive him." ”

"That's it, Cai Qing made an unintentional mistake, how could I worry about Cai Qing."

Because Cai Jing is still needed now, Zhao Jixiang can only take the initiative to divert the topic noncommittally: "Let's continue to talk about business." ”

"Yes."

Cai Jing first bowed down to respond, and then had some meaning of breaking the jar: "Since Cai You can't count on it, then only Zhang Bangchang and others can be used in Bianjing City."

It's just that since he dares to play such a heavy hand now, it is impossible not to leave a back hand before the expedition, and Zhang Bangchang was originally a man who fell with the wind, so he couldn't pin all his hopes on him. ”

After pacing two steps slowly, Cai Jing continued: "However, it is nothing that Zhang Bangchang can't count on it, even if the courtiers in Bianjing City can't count on it, it's nothing, after all, the official family is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is the biological father of the current official family."

As long as the official family issues an edict and asks all the state capitals in the world to send the music and seal to Bozhou, the official family will be the same in Bozhou or Bianjing, and if the government is not restored, it will also be restored. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy."

Tong Guan continued to jump out and contradict Cai Jing: "Before going on the expedition today, I was angry in the court, saying that if anyone dared to send the sparse seal to Bozhou, he would be directly demoted to the official position. ”

"One time, another."

Cai Jing frowned and said: "There are 14 prefectures and 240 prefectures in the Great Song Dynasty, how complicated are the daily seals, it was okay to be in Bianjing today, where is it now?" Let the state government of the world send the watch seal to Bianjing or to Taiyuan?

What's more, today in the Zichen Palace, the things he said can be reported to the world? ”

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's not true, after all, in Zichen Palace, he was furious because he was sent to Bianjing or Bozhou, and this kind of thing is not easy to say." ”

"That's right."

Cai Jing said: "You can be angry in Zichen Hall for this matter today, but it is impossible to report it because of this matter."

The official family is the father of today, and it is also the official family who has given the throne to the present, and now the official family has sent the state capital of the world to Bozhou, but for today's considerations, a heart of love for the son, who can say anything? ”

Tong Guan shook his head and replied, "Not really. Before the official family set out on the expedition, Empress Yuanyou was the Empress Dowager of Longyou, and Empress Yuanyou listened to the government, and the queen and the eldest son of the emperor supervised the country, with Li Gang as Dazai, Li Ruobing as the Shaozai and the secretary of the ministry, and stayed in Bianjing as an auxiliary government.

In other words, whether you are in Bianjing today or not will not affect the operation of the court, and at most there will be a backlog of problems that must be adjudicated today. ”

"That's the problem."

Cai Jing's face finally became a little better: "There are four out of two hundred and fifty in the state capital of the world, there are always many problems that must be judged by the pro-judge today, and the official family is pro-conscripted outside the country rather than because of his youth, so there are many problems, and the Empress Dowager Meng and her old man are not very easy to deal with, and the queen and the eldest son of the emperor are also unable to deal with it."

However, the problems that the Empress Dowager Meng can't deal with, the official family can deal with, which is the biggest difference between the official family and the Empress Dowager Meng, the queen, and the eldest son of the emperor, and it is also the biggest advantage of the official family now. ”

The problem that was still a headache was picked up by Cai Jing like this, and there was a hint of a sign of solution, and Zhao Jixiang's face also became a little better: "In the end, Cai Qing is still old, and it is not comparable to the rebel who dares to openly say in the court that I am not worthy of the surname Zhao." ”

“？”

Compare the old man with your son, what do you mean?

Also, today he openly said in the court that the official family is not worthy of the surname Zhao? Then do you still want to reinstate the government?
