Chapter 258 (II)

"If I don't leave this time, you guys will quarrel! I don't help each other, and when you get tired of arguing, I will go straight to the court and go to see my teacher and girl. ”

Thinking of Master Li, Huizong's troubles disappeared suddenly, his eyes were looking in the direction of the courtiers, and his heart had already pulled Master Li to Genyue to play.

Everyone was arguing, but Gao Yu and Tong Guan were indifferent. The two military attachés should have the best say in the war, but they had their own agendas and stood quietly on the ground, waiting for their opportunity to flatter His Majesty.

Hou Meng saw that the two sides were tense, like a vendor fighting for territory in a vegetable market, how could he have the appearance of a humble gentleman, which was simply a shame for Sven. He came out at the right time to stop the chaotic scene, and painstakingly persuaded the ministers to give priority to state affairs, pay attention to the words and tone of the debate, and not to spoil the mutual affection, so as not to renew party disputes.

Finally, everyone quieted down, and Hou Meng analyzed the benefits of Zhao'an from the perspective of people's livelihood.

He said that thieves are also forced by life, but whenever the days can be matched, the common people will never do this kind of business that puts their heads in their hands. Many of the thieves were people with a conscience, and they were forced to die by some powerful and officials, and they were unable to survive and could only rise up to resist. If the imperial court sends heavy troops to encircle and suppress at this time, it will force them to fight with their lives, and it will become a situation of endless death. If Zhao'an gives them a way to live, the thieves will surely collapse when they see hope, and the world will be peaceful.

Here's your chance!

Cai Jing is waiting for this kind of opportunity!

Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, Hou Meng is the leader of the Zhao'an faction, and if he is pressed down, the Zhao'an faction will become a headless bird. After several ups and downs, he has already practiced the ability to be merciful and ruthless, and beat people to death as soon as he makes a move, as for picking bones in eggs, it is a little trick at hand.

When the opportunity comes, how can you let it go.

Cai Jing suddenly came out of the queue and accused Hou Meng as the chief governor: "Hou Shilang, as an official of the imperial court, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and you don't think about worrying about the king, but you whitewash it for the thief and think about the thief, is it the discipline that a Chinese scholar should have?" You lead the court, but you are thinking about making profits for the thieves, what kind of heart do you have? Song Jiang was originally a priest, but he had an affair with the Liangshan Bo thief, is this also forced by life? Today's Great Song Dynasty is under the governance of His Majesty Daojun, it is already a prosperous era, how can there be anything that cannot be lived? There are thorns in your words, insinuating that Your Majesty has no way to govern the country, causing thieves to rise everywhere. Could it be that you have an affair with a thief? Could it be that you have a disobedient heart? ”

This is purely a bloody mouth, talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Hou Meng is angry.

After enduring Cai Jing's suppression in silence for a long time, his heart has been wrapped in too much anger, and today's suppressed anger was instantly ignited, silence broke out, and he shouted angrily: "Old horseman, An dares to insult my loyalty!" You form a party for personal gain, enrich your private pockets, and do things like flies and dogs, but you pretend to be loyal and good in the court, and wantonly attack dissidents, you are not as good as ······a pig and a dog."

The more excited Hou Meng is, the more he loses his temper, and the more hearty he scolds, the better the effect, and this is what Cai Jing wants.

He laughed secretly, how can this trick be tried repeatedly, as soon as the pit is dug up, someone can't wait to jump down, Zeng Bu was pulled down from the first seat by him with this trick, and today he is waiting for Meng again.

Wait! Wait for those officials to blow you out of the capital with their mouths. There is only one result of singing against me, and that is that life is better than death.

Sure enough, he scolded, "Hou Meng, you are so bold!" Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Come forward and dare to be rude! ”

With a loud shout, the basin had been buckled to Hou Meng's head, and at the same time, he woke up Hou Meng in anger, and he suddenly woke up: "Oops, I fell into the well!" ”

Different from the schadenfreude of the main battle faction, the faction advocating Zhao'an chose to be silent and collectively chose to ignore it, as if the rhetoric just now was to cooperate with Cai Jing to make Hou Meng jump into the pit smoothly.

It was cold for a moment, and most people looked at Hou Meng, but no one spoke up for him, not even a word of justification.

At this time, everyone is afraid of being implicated, Mingzhe protects his life, and silence is the best choice, lest he be knocked out by Cai Jingxun as soon as he opens his mouth. Although they sighed in their hearts: "Hou Shilang, you are still too tender, can't you see that this is the old fox's habitual trap?" "But the pity is only in my heart, and there is no practical help.

Ugly! Cheap!

You are even more despicable and shameless than Cai Jing's doglegs!

A group of well-dressed beasts who see the wind and rudder!

Don't you know that no one is speaking up now, it's like falling into a well? In this way, a loyal man will be impeached by the Yanguan from tomorrow, and then exiled to other places, from then on, Cai Jing in the temple covers the sky with one hand, who dares to say a fair word, who is still willing to say a fair word?

Someone scolded his mother in his heart, he was the official Cao Fu.

This upright superintendent of the imperial history came out of the class angrily and said: "Cai Jing traitor, Hugh is spewing blood, which is right and which is wrong, Your Majesty has his own judgment, and it is not your turn to cover the sky with your Cai Jing in the Great Song Dynasty!" Cao Fu played to Huizong with a desperate posture: "Your Majesty! The minister impeached the minister Cai Jing for ten crimes! ”

He is a speech official, and the impeachment of the minister by the speech official is not considered rude in front of the emperor, he would rather offend Cai Jing, but also let the court have more loyalty and more hope for the prosperity of the country.

"Cai Jing formed a party for personal gain, slandered the dictatorship, acted arbitrarily, brutalized the loyal and good, bullied the superiors and suppressed the subordinates, the party was the same and the disagreeable, sold official positions, played favoritism and irregularities, occupied people's land, and harmed people and the country······ The bamboo of the South Mountain, the book crime is not endless; The waves of the East China Sea are inexhaustible. The minister implored His Majesty to be clear, dismiss Cai Jing's phase, and return the Song Dynasty to a bright and prosperous place! ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Cao Fu's words were like a violent northwest wind suddenly turned into a southeast wind, and the court turned around, from discussing how to deal with thieves and robbers to impeaching the first master, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Song Huizong was also stunned, these officials are really a headache, every time they impeach, they take a deadly posture, and they will never give up until they achieve their goal. It's too bad now, I stabbed the hornet's nest, Cai Xiangruo argued with reason, how do I deal with it. To be honest, Huizong couldn't get used to some of Cai Jing's methods, but he just used them easily, and Cai Jing could always make a lot of money like a trick and let him spend it heartily.

Cai Jing remained silent, he didn't use a few words to defend himself, he is well versed in the principle of static braking, at this time, if he roars and justifies himself, he will become the second Hou Meng, he will always be the person who digs the pit, not the person who jumps the pit.

Cai Jing quietly listened to Cao Fu's list of the top ten crimes, and silently watched Cao Fu finish his words. Then he glanced at the hundred officials, and saw that no one had joined the ranks of impeachment, so he bowed to Huizong and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" The so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and everyone is equal before the law of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Lao Chen was the leader, he did not have the privilege of going beyond the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. From now on, His Majesty will hand over the old minister to Dali Temple, and thoroughly investigate and deal with whether the old minister's crime is true. If it is true, the old minister is willing to admit the crime, if it is not true, don't blame Cao Yushi for malicious slander, after all, it is for the sake of the country and the people. From today, the old minister will hand in the letter of the first ruler and the official uniform, and wait at home for the results of His Majesty's processing. After speaking, he took off his official hat and handed it to a eunuch with both hands.

"What a cunning old fox! The means are vicious and practical, and this trick is played with retreat as advance! He also interceded for me, and he did an excellent job of saving face! Since I stabbed the hornet's nest, I was not afraid of being stung by the hornet, so I added some more wood to shroud the old fox in the raging fire. As long as His Majesty orders the investigation and handling of this matter, some clues can always be found, as long as Cai Jing can be driven out of the court, what can I do if Cao Fu is in prison! ”

Cao Fu then played: "Your Majesty! The crimes of Cai Jing listed by Wechen are all facts, if there is falsehood, Wechen is willing to accept the guilt, exile and beheading! ”

This is a dead knot, one is retreating, the other is pressing step by step, and both are willing to take responsibility for what they have said and what they have done.

It's hard to do!

Now it's the last second of stoppage time, Huizong is the referee, is this penalty awarded or not? If the sentence is given, one will immediately go to hell; No, let them shake hands and make peace, but then they will start the game again.

Besides, there must be a satisfactory reason not to judge, these guys are not just to prevaricate. Simply ignore it, no! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at it, and they couldn't be a sculpture! It's a matter of 50 boards each, but this is an impeachment, and it's not a fight between two people, so there is no way to start fighting.

Huizong was in a hurry, and suddenly laughed and said: "All of you Aiqing are the pillars of the country, my right-hand man, and I am working hard for the country and the people, and my spirit is commendable. Hou Aiqing was also unintentional, I don't blame him for roaring at the court. ”

He pretended to stretch his waist, yawned and said, "I'm also tired, the matter of Liangshanbo thieves will be discussed tomorrow, and today will be dispersed!" ”

"It's really worthy of the emperor, such a thorny question is prevaricated between talking and laughing. Steal beams and change pillars, avoid the heavy and light, a good king Gu left and right about him! ”

The ministers secretly mocked the emperor in their hearts, although the good show was abruptly stopped, it was also a good thing to be able to go home early to rest.

Cao Fu saw that Zhao Ji was about to slip away, and his heart was already impatient, the emperor was tired, and it was clearly naked protection. The first ruler is domineering, the emperor is like this, the Great Song Dynasty is terminally ill, he is more determined than disappointed, he wants to die, and use his life to wake up the deceived emperor.

Just when everyone thought that the farce had ended hastily, they heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty, slow down!" Your Majesty's hasty handling of the government has the demeanor of a blind monarch, and the minister implores His Majesty to thoroughly investigate Cai Jing and give justice to the people of the Great Song Dynasty! After speaking, he knelt on the ground and grabbed the ground with his head again and again.

Huizong hurriedly asked the eunuch beside him to set up Cao Fu, whose face was covered in blood, to prevent him from further self-harm. If Yanguan dies in the court, there will be a stain on his title of Mingjun, but if he promises to investigate Cai Jing thoroughly, who will come to collect money for himself.

In desperation, Huizong said: "Cao Zaide is loyal to the country, I am moved, and all Aiqing will take him as an example to share my worries." Come! Immediately send Cao Zaide to Tai Hospital for treatment, without delaying for half a minute! ”

Cao Fu was furious, the emperor seemed to care about himself by doing this, but in fact, he was more protective of Cai Jing. If he is taken to the Tai Hospital, the day he will be well will also be the day he will leave the capital to take up his post in the local area, and Cai Jing's personality will definitely not let him go.

He struggled to shake off the hands of the two eunuchs and shouted, "Your Majesty! The minister's injury is a flesh injury, the minister can afford to be injured, Cai Jing is the tumor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to be injured! Your Majesty does not make a decision early, the venom invades and hurts the internal organs, and it is too late to regret it! ”

This practice of not dying without the heart of the Yellow River made Zhao Ji very annoyed, and he said unhappily: "Loyalty and treachery still need to be clearly detected, Cao Yushi crushed Cai Xiang to death with a word, wouldn't it be unfair!" Isn't it in your eyes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are traitors, and you are the only one who is loyal? ”

"Hahaha······"

Cao Fu, who was extremely angry, laughed wildly, he was now full of disappointment, what was the point of messing around with such an absurd emperor. In the eyes of the emperor and Cai Jing, I, Cao Fu, am a burden, and I will have endless small shoes to wear in the future, rather than living in the world like a walking corpse in the future, it is better to fight for a good reputation.

The laughter was followed by a hysterical roar, and a bloody gold full of anger just began to roar: "Cai Jing covers the sky with one hand, the loyal ministers are degraded, the boycott, the move, the move, the court has become Cai Jing's private property, and the hundred officials don't even dare to fart, and they eat the court in vain!" And His Majesty blindly connived at Cai Jing, he is simply Cai Jing's accomplice! You listen to Cai Thief's words, greedy for pleasure, wantonly build pavilions, pavilions, rockery palaces, and enjoy a person in the poor world, do you really think that the Great Song Dynasty is a peaceful and prosperous era? Go out and see how many people have been forced to be displaced, hungry and cold, and the Gen Yue for you to see is made of the people's bones and flesh! What's more, the dignified Emperor of the Song Dynasty has three palaces and six courtyards, and the beauty is like a cloud, but he actually steals incense and jade in the Fengyue place, abandoning the royal dignity and disregarding! Drunken Xinglou locks up your shameless soul, and it is your body that is in vain as the Son of Heaven! Zhao Ji, one day you will sigh for your mediocrity, and hate your absurdity all the time! ”

If Cao Fu just impeached Cai Jing for throwing stones in the river water, now he is throwing stones in a boiling oil pot, splashing himself with hot oil, not to mention, and smashing the bottom of the pot.

The court was stunned, and everyone's eyes widened and they didn't believe that this was the truth. Zhao Ji was dizzy, he got up and opened his eyes angrily, pointed at Cao Fu with his finger and said, "You······ You ······" I couldn't speak for a long time.

"It's self-digging! Cao Fu, it is a great opportunity for you to give it to the old man, the old man will not let you down, he will definitely nail the coffin tightly, and a trace of light will not illuminate you! ”

Cai Jing rebuked sharply: "Bold Cao Fu, it doesn't count if you take out a false speculation to slander Your Majesty, you actually call the name of the saint, tarnish the reputation of the saint, curse the soul of the saint, and have no duty to be a minister, it is really a dog's courage and an unforgivable sin." The old minister begged His Majesty to hand over the criminal minister Cao Fu to Dali Temple for trial, and asked the accomplices to kill this group of rebellious ministers in one go! ”

Hundreds of officials began to fall into the well, and large and small stones fell on Cao Fu one after another. It was not that Cao Fu's words included a number of hundreds of officials who threw stones, but that the hundred officials showed their loyalty to the emperor and drew a clear line with Cao Fu before throwing stones.

Didn't you hear Cai Jing's words clearly? To catch all the conspirators, this old fox is an expert in the whole person.

Cao Fu had already put his death aside, and he cried: "The great rivers and mountains laid down by Taizu Taizong have been ruined by this ruined son, look at what face you have after you die to see your ancestors and ancestors!" ”

After saying that, he hit his head against the pillar, but he was already stopped by the fast-eyed minister. This is a great achievement, and it has saved face for His Majesty, otherwise there will be a statement that the emperor forced the official to die will remain in the world.

A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood, Cao Fu is a real warrior.

Cao Fu, who was imprisoned, still had a brave heart, and he was filled with righteous indignation, accusing the high-ranking officials who interrogated him of dereliction of duty and not admonishing the emperor.

Let him recruit an accomplice, Cao Fu scolded with a smile: "Cai Lao Pifu wants to take the opportunity to suppress dissidents, so why don't you be an accomplice?" The heart of the mere is nothing to ask for, just love you! ”

Dali Temple was also helpless to Cao Fu, so he could only report truthfully. Cai Jing advocated severely punishing Cao Fu, and even killing his head, but Huizong did not nod, he did not want to fall under the pretext of killing the official, so he issued an edict to depose Chenzhou and accept the management.

He had the will to die but did not succeed, Cao Fu went on the road calmly, no matter how much torture Chenzhou would receive, he had to survive bravely, and only by living could he see the tragic end of the traitorous ministers.
