Chapter 47: Worries
Zhao Huan was not surprised by Cai Jing's resignation, he nodded and said: "The young man who left home and returned to the eldest brother, the Taishi has dedicated most of his life to the imperial court, and it is time to go home and enjoy his old age in peace." β
Cai Jing heard this, his body was for a while, although his hometown was good, but it lacked the prosperity of Bianjing, but the new emperor had already approved his resignation, and it seemed that it would not work if he didn't leave.
After Cai Jing came out of the palace, he seemed to be ten years old, although he had already expected Zhao Huan to do something to himself, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
When Cai Jing arrived home, he found that there were a lot of Imperial Forest Army standing at the door.
Seeing Cai Jing coming back, Zhang Xian came out of the crowd, saluted Cai Jing, and said, "Master Cai, the official family has an edict, let me wait to assist Master Cai to pack up my things." β
When Cai Jing heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, looking at the Imperial Forest Army in front of him, he knew that Zhao Huan was determined to let him leave this time, in order to prevent him from regenerating any moths before leaving, even the Imperial Forest Army was sent.
"Thank you for the love of the official family, please wait outside the house for a while, let me go home and pack up the softness, and let's set off again." Cai Jing's words revealed endless sadness.
Zhang Xian didn't embarrass him, the order he received was to let him watch Cai Jing leave, in case he secretly caused trouble, at this time, he was not allowed to contact anyone.
"Taishi Cai still has to hold on tightly, now that the enemy is present, it is impossible for the brothers to wait here for too long." Zhang Xian said to Cai Jing.
"You guys can be busy with something, and I didn't let you guard it here." Cai Jing slandered in his heart, but he would never dare to say this kind of thing, he knew what the Imperial Forest Army meant, that is, what Zhao Huan meant.
Cai Jing returned to the mansion, and Cai Gui, the housekeeper of the Cai Mansion, hurriedly greeted him, "Master, it's not good, this group of Imperial Forest Army came to the outside of the mansion at noon, and the people in the mansion are not allowed to enter or leave, how is this good?" β
When Cai Jing heard this, he waved his hand and said to Cai Gui: "Clean up the softness, let's leave Bianjing tonight and go home!" β
The last two words of going home, Cai Jing squeezed out of his mouth, mixed with how much unwillingness and bitterness.
Cai Jing's family has too many things, it is impossible to pack them all and take them away, time is urgent, he can only go on the road with the money he has accumulated in the house for so many years, his idea is very simple, as long as he has money, he can buy everything he wants.
But Cai Jing's idea is really a bit naΓ―ve, which has also become the direct cause of Cai Jing's death.
In the evening, Cai Jing was finished packing, and the gold, silver and jewelry alone were enough to fit as many as ten cars.
"General Zhang, the soft things in the house have been packed up, and we can leave at any time, but my uncompetitive sixth boy hasn't come back yet, and he has already sent someone to call, and when he arrives, we will leave." Cai Jing said to Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian saluted Cai Jing and said: "Master Cai, Master Li Gang has already led his troops to Xifang City to arrest all the Dongjiang Gang people over there, if the sixth prince is involved in this matter, then I advise the Taishi not to wait, so as not to delay the time to go out of the city and provoke His Majesty's unhappiness." β
Hearing this, Cai Jing looked up at Zhang Xian in front of him in surprise, and said, "My six boys are also involved?" β
Hearing what Cai Jing said, Zhang Xian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Taishi's words are asking the wrong person, whether it is involved or not, Taishi should be clearer than the last general, Zhang is a martial artist, and I don't know about the major events in the court." β
Cai Jing heard the irony in Zhang Xian's mouth, and wanted to refute but couldn't speak, when Cai Jing was in power, he publicly claimed that the military generals should not pay too much attention to the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but he didn't expect that now this sentence was given to him by Zhang Xian.
"General Zhang, can you allow Lao Zhuo to go to Master Li and inquire about the situation of the six boys?" Cai Jing can now say that he is really low-voiced, and directly claims that he is clumsy, although these six boys are usually the most disobedient, but at this time, as an old father, he still hopes to save his son.
"Taishi, the last general advises you to hurry up and leave, I believe you know in your heart what the sixth prince has committed, don't die well because of this!" Zhang Xian said.
In this sentence, Cai Jing's body was directly stiffened there.
If a few years ago, who dared to speak like this in front of Cai Jing, but now, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, a small overseer dares to curse Cai Jing in front of him like this.
Cai Jing finally reluctantly took people away, and after getting into the chariot, Cai Jing opened the curtain and looked out, and two lines of turbid tears not only slipped from the corners of his eyes.
Zhang Xian and others escorted Cai Jing from Nancheng all the time, and only then did they give Zhao Huan his life.
Li Gang and Zhu Shengfei were in Zhao Huan's imperial study, and Li Gang said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, letting Cai Jing leave at this time is the critical moment when the two armies are fighting. β
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, Cai Jing has reached his old age, even if I don't kill him, he won't live for a few days, and justice is in the hearts of the people, Cai Jing is not sure if he can go home alive." β
When Li Gang heard this, he secretly said that Zhao Huan had ordered someone to kill Cai Jing on the way back to his hometown, nodded and said no more.
Zhao Huan knew that Li Gang and the others had misunderstood what he meant, so he said: "Cai Jing has been in charge of the government for seventeen years, which has caused the people to complain. β
It is said that money can make ghosts grind, for what Zhao Huan said, Zhu Shengfei and Li Gang did not take it to heart, they only thought that Zhao Huan wanted to let Cai Jing go, until Cai Jing really starved to death on the way, the two of them were surprised to find that Zhao Huan was actually unpredictable, and the admiration for Zhao Huan in their hearts increased a few points, of course, this is all a later story.
Now the two of them came to Zhao Huan, mainly to discuss the problem that Zhao Huan proposed in the morning to solve the future life of the disabled soldiers.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister wants to hold back, it's really that the war has been tense in recent years, and the internal and external difficulties have been, and the household department really has no extra money to feed these people." Zhu Shengfei said to Zhao Huan with a depressed face.
After listening to Zhu Shengfei's complaints, Zhao Huan also understood Zhu Shengfei's difficulties in his heart, his cheap old man had been the emperor for decades, and he directly squandered the money in the treasury, and now he is really poor.
