"Quickly prepare the court clothes and carriage, hurry, hurry, the old man wants to meet the emperor. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Sizzle-"

Cai Jing ordered and urged his subordinates in a row, but he hiccuped the pain but didn't care about the pain and discomfort, and he braced up his spirit and tried his best to extinguish the sudden danger of destroying the door as soon as possible.

With the support of his only surviving five sons, he changed his previous days and rode through Tokyo in a comfortable sedan chair with people riding in a majestic manner, and hurriedly stepped into a carriage and went straight to the palace.

"Hurry up. Hurry up again. ”

The carriage jolted violently, making the injured Cai Jing staggered to death even more uncomfortable, but he still repeatedly urged to speed up.

Soon arrived at the palace, Cai Jing struggled to go straight to Ouchi, and when he met the eunuch on duty, he hurriedly handed an expensive jade from his sleeve to the familiar eunuch.

In the past, in order to meet the emperor or inquire about the emperor's state and thoughts, Cai Jing bribed the eunuchs around the emperor.

The eunuchs were also willing to accept bribes from the public ministers to provide convenience.

But today, the head of the eunuch was like hiding from the plague, not only did he not laugh at the good intentions and bribes of the dignified minister, but also hurriedly avoided it, and after retreating a few steps, he only stared at Cai Jing's blue nose and swollen face in embarrassment, and then exclaimed with a smile: "Husband, who are you?" ”

Cai Jing's heart sank, and from the eyes of the eunuch leader, he sensed the kind of narrow schadenfreude that was unique to cold alienation and perverted eunuchs.

He secretly screamed badly, but he steadied his mind, sighed and said as calmly as possible: "Hey, the family is unfortunate, and it is difficult to say anything." Please inform your father-in-law of Your Majesty, Cai Jing asks to see you. ”

The eunuch laughed dryly: "My husband doesn't have to ask for it. The official family wants to see you, and wants our family to announce you. My husband came very quickly and in time. Please come with us, right? ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Cai Jing thanked him very respectfully, and as the eunuch leader walked towards the palace, seeing that there was no one around, he bowed down and clasped his fists and whispered: "Father-in-law, for the sake of the old man in the past, he never neglected to prepare a share. Father-in-law will not be implicated. There will be great rewards in the future. ”

The eunuch saw that Cai Jing, who was so awesome in the past, was so soft and embarrassed, but he was happy in his heart, but he also stretched out his hand and reminded him in a low voice.

Things didn't come as a surprise.

Woe has come. Cai Jing calmed down a lot.

He quietly handed Meiyu to the eunuch again, and whispered, "Thank you." Please accept this item, it should be a token of future return. ”

The eunuch flicked his wide sleeves. The jade has been collected. The movements are extremely skillful. There was a glint of greed in his eyes.

He knew that Lao Cai Jing's family was rich in gold and silver. This time I took a big risk to help, and the reward will definitely not be light.

He didn't know that Cai Jing's family was so poor that even if he quietly dismissed most of the servants, Yahuan and hundreds of people were missing from the mansion, it would be so difficult that he could barely maintain the appearance of decency, and the expenses of the prime minister's mansion were supported by Cai Jiu, who was a taishou in Jiangzhou, and Liang Zhongshu, his son-in-law in Beijing's Daimyo Mansion, and the money of the officials below Xinxiaojing, plus the money from the family's Yulu and Xin's embezzlement. The Cai family now not only has no money, but also no gold and jewelry, and in order to make up enough for the amazing ransom extorted by the pirates, even the private money and jewelry of the wives and concubines in the family have been emptied. This piece of beautiful jade is Cai Jiuxin's filial piety, and it is already the best and most precious thing of the Cai family, in the past, Cai Jing was not rare at all, but now he loves it like his heart and liver, and it hurts the eunuch very much.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji was shocked and furious in the palace.

He just heard that his third son, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was actually harmed by Cai Jing's grandson Cai Xing, not only broke his appearance and couldn't see people, but also was trampled on Xiao Ding Ding and became a waste.

At the same time, Dazai Hakuya's son also died.

I don't know how I died.

What the hell is going on?

It's just that three young people are playing with women in the secret room of the Cai family's courtyard to find exciting fun, it is normal for the children of the powerful to entertain, why did such a terrible thing suddenly happen?

Daring to hurt the prince is already a mortal crime.

Zhao Kai became a eunuch with eggs, which deeply stimulated this emperor who was in the prime of life but was no longer able to do anything, and was in fact the most noble eunuch in the palace.

A huge inexplicable humiliating anger boiled in Emperor Daojun's heart, and the killing intent could hardly be suppressed.

Just now he ordered the eunuch to pass the word that Cai Jing immediately entered the palace to confess his guilt, and he roared and shouted the order.

You can see its anger.

Cai Jing, what do you want to do? How dare your grandson hurt the prince? Tell you to resign, how dare you pretend to be confused and insist on disobeying the holy will?

Damn old feat!

Zhao Ji was murderous, and he couldn't sit still in the palace, and he kept hovering with hatred with one hand behind his back, preparing lightning and thunder for Cai Jing.

But when Cai Jing appeared in front of him, Zhao Ji was taken aback.

Seeing Cai Jing bow his head and say, "The old minister comes to accept the crime and is willing to die", Zhao Ji glanced left and right at Cai Jing, whose face was so swollen that he couldn't recognize his appearance, and asked uncertainly according to the judgment of his voice and shape: "You, are you Cai Jing?" How did you become like this? What happened? ”

In the past, the affectionate old Aiqing, Qingjia and other honorific titles have become you and you.

Cai Jing knew that the emperor was furious this time, but fortunately, his poor image really diluted the emperor's murderous intentions, and he was taken into prison without being entered the palace, and he had a chance to save it.

"Hey, hey, hey........"

Cai Jing hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and miserable, choked and cried, but he did not delay his calculations, his head was on the floor, and he shouted in pain: "The old minister's family has suffered, and he has been calculated by the traitors, except for the five sons who are serving by his side, the other dozen or so descendants in Beijing have all been driven crazy by the gangsters and died. The old minister didn't know what had happened, and he was thinking at home about how to survive the summer disaster caused by pirates, rectify state affairs to stabilize His Majesty's country, and complete the final loyalty or resign and retire with peace of mind, but he was injured like this by his youngest son who suddenly went crazy and went crazy. Cai Xing also injured the prince because of this and committed a mortal crime. The old minister is willing to die. ”

After a pause, Cai Jing and the other emperors digested the shocking news, and further pretended to be loyal and miserable.

"The minister is guilty of a great sin, and he feels that immortality is not enough to make up for his sins. The minister was conscientious and conscientious as an official in his life, and he did his best for the Great Song Dynasty, and he was loyal to the saints, and he didn't want to end up with such a terrible ending today. I don't know what kind of gangster is so vicious. There is no love in life. The minister is willing to die quickly, please revoke all the grace of the minister, and immediately issue an order to execute the minister. ”

As soon as he cried and said, it was so miserable, so pitiful and sympathetic, the emperor's anger was invisibly diluted a lot, and he regained some reason, thinking about Cai Jing's service for so many years and being so old, he was still thinking about finally being loyal to the country, it turned out that it was not that he was unwilling to give up his power, it was not easy, and the killing machine also retreated.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhao Ji exempted the Cai family from the death penalty, but before his anger was extinguished, he dismissed Cai Jing, who had already made up his mind, and deprived him of all the benefits of power and glory, including the honorable position of Taishi, and completely demoted Cai Jing to a commoner, but he did not implicate the rest of the Cai family again.

As a result, Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou and Liang Zhongshu in the Daimyo Mansion didn't do anything, and the officials did it.

Cai Jing despised Xiangquan and Ronghua very much, and was really reluctant to throw it away, but he knew that this was already the greatest forgiveness that could be won at present, so he secretly sighed and admitted the punishment, and was very grateful to the emperor, thanking the emperor for his hard work for so many years, and praising the emperor for being a wise and compassionate and compassionate generation of courtiers.

The emperor was in a better mood, Cai Jing pretended to be pitiful, pretending to be too hard hit and had lost his heart and died, and never thought of official career and power again, and asked the emperor to allow him to return to his hometown to farm after the funeral in the capital.

Zhao Ji didn't know that this was a plan, not like the four times in history to repeatedly strike Cai Jing Xiangquan to see Cai Jing's face, did not see through Cai Jing's old treacherous heart, pity Cai Jing lost almost all the pain of his descendants, and considered that he may not need this old goods in the future, Cai Jing's ability to grasp the economy to make money for the big inner is indeed a hand, looking at the Manchu Dynasty officials really have no way to compare with this old goods, in addition, Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu is also a useful courtier, and he guards the important positions of the Beijing Daimyo, and it is not good to be too harsh Cai Jing hurt Liang Zhongshu's heart, Zhao Ji agreed to the request, and Kaien approved Cai Jing to stay in the capital to recuperate after the funeral, and it was not too late to return to his hometown after recuperating his body, so he was so old that he couldn't withstand the fatigue of the journey, and he hurriedly returned to his hometown and died on the road.

This is actually a promise that Cai Jing can stay in the capital and continue to live, which indirectly gives Cai Jing hope and possibility of recovery.

Cai Jing rushed into the palace to fight for life and death to tackle the crisis, and successfully avoided the catastrophe that should have been full of crimes, and achieved the most basic goal, and went home to raise it after thanking the emperor for his kindness. If he can't tell the severity, old and mediocre, first recuperate at home, recover his mood and deal with the funeral, and mourn his children and grandchildren, then the result will be miserable.

At this time, the ministers whose children had been killed or crippled by the scourge of Cai Jing's descendants had just learned of the bad news.

These ministers do not have the privilege of the old and powerful Cai Jingde, who is specially allowed by the emperor to work from home for only three days, and many of them are working as usual in the classrooms inside and outside the palace, in short, they are not at home, so they are not so smart to get the news from the house slaves, and they are late to learn.

Suddenly, I was shocked to hear the evil news, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

The corrupt officials and traitors couldn't believe that this would be true for a while, and felt unbelievable, and after repeatedly asking the messenger slave to be sure, they were afraid of Cai Jing's intertwined and powerful political forces, and felt sorry for what happened to their children.

When he knew that the third son of the emperor was also harmed by the descendants of the Cai family, the emperor was furious, and clearly realized that Lao Cai would definitely not be able to keep his position this time, and finally had the confidence to fight Cai Jing, so he hurriedly entered the palace to impeach Cai Jing in retaliation, but was stopped outside the palace by the eunuch, saying that the official family was unwell and it was inconvenient to see the secretary.

These ministers had no choice but to pin their hopes on Dazai Hakujung, who wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Cai Jing's ascendancy.

Bai Juzhong died his son who pinned his hopes, and his heart hurt a lot, but compared to the coveted power he could get, this pain was nothing, and he was so excited that he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at this time.

He was received by the emperor, and he cried about the loss of his son, and complained about the pain of grievances on behalf of the ministers who had suffered.

Emperor Zhao Ji only learned at this time that the children and grandchildren of the Cai family not only killed Bai Juzhong's son, but also killed and mutilated many children of the minister's family, and he was taken aback.

However, Cai Jing's children and grandchildren who caused trouble have all died on the spot, and it can be regarded as repaying the crime and obeying the law, and it is meaningless to pursue it again. Cai Jing is already even more unlucky.

The most important thing is the Holy Chrysostom.

Since Cai Jing has been punished and deprived of the power of the prime minister and made a relative forgiveness to make a good hand, it is not easy to change his words and punish again, so he will not be forced by the ministers to take the opportunity to lose the monarchy, so Zhao Ji did not promise to further punish Cai Jing, and he knew what Bai Juzhong really cared about Why he did not let go of Cai Jing on behalf of the ministers, and immediately issued an order to promote Bai Juzhong to the prime minister, and calmed a few words with his kind words, and then ordered Bai Juzhong to appease the ministers who suffered in this disaster on his behalf.

Don't make any more noise, I'm annoying.

Bai Juzhong achieved his goal, his face was sad and aggrieved, and his heart blossomed.

Ordered to withdraw from Ouchi, he immediately won over his fellow party and important people to make a wish, discussed the redistribution of power, reported to the emperor to transfer his post in order, and then suppressed and appeased other officials who wanted to continue to make trouble, and quickly calmed down this round of turmoil.

Zhang Bangchang, who also died of his son, went into the palace with the flow to petition Cai Jing to punish Cai Jing, but he didn't actually make a fuss.

It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his son, it's not that he doesn't want to retaliate, but he is old and treacherous, and he has always been an official who has never fought to be the leader and quarrel, and he has always been the most powerful and powerful in the phase that is the most likely to fall victim to the downfall, and has always adhered to the political principle of being the second and not fighting for the first, and has steadily benefited from the phase change and the situation.

Look at these years, although Cai Jing has not fallen as the prime minister, and no one can compete with the powerful old Cai, but the second-in-command and third-in-command such as Wang Boyan and Li Bangyan have risen one by one, and their majesty has fallen in a blink of an eye.

And he, Zhang Bangchang, is very popular in the officialdom that seems not to be greedy for power or fight, and he has no effort to do anything, but he is promoted very quickly, and he follows the fall of batches of phase-level bigwigs and easily and leisurely steps step by step. The powerful ministers in the court, except for Gao Yu, a favored minister, whose actual power position is not as stable as his.

This time, Zhang Bangchang endured the pain of losing his son and the desire for power, and still did not fight, and let the red-eyed Bai Juzhong grab the phase, but without saying a word, he naturally took over the Dazai seat vacated by Bai Juzhong and became the second in command of Wenchen smoothly and low-key, without grudging with any bigwigs including Cai Jing, and the invisible power is many times greater than when Bai Juzhong was in office.
