Chapter 716: Will

"Zhang Jiaming's imperial history can be in? The prince is invited. ”

Just as everyone was thinking, a guard came over and asked politely.

Everyone is overjoyed, the prince is going to teach face-to-face! They patted Zhang Jiaming's shoulder excitedly, only Zhang Jiaming secretly smiled bitterly, this is not good!

"Xiaguan greets the prince!"

Zhang Jiaming came to Cai Cong to salute nervously, Cai Cong knew about the bribe, and he was a little uneasy.

"When I first met you, I was very chivalrous. Protecting my sister for this king's thousands of miles, seeing our family reunited, we sang and walked, and even forgot to take it. How can you become cringe now, isn't it because the arrogance in your heart has been worn away by the strictness of this officialdom? ”

Cai Cong said and motioned for Zhang Jiaming to sit down, Zhang Jiaming sat down with a chair, and said with a wry smile, "I can sing and walk because I have no burden, how can I be at ease in officialdom now?" ”

"Is officialdom uncomfortable, or is the teacher making you uncomfortable? Brother Jiaming has a great kindness to my Cai family, and this king really doesn't want to see you sink into the mud. ”

Cai Cong pointed out without hesitation, a disciple of the Taoist Sect has turned into a person in the officialdom, and the blind know that there is a problem, otherwise he would not have worked hard for so many years and is still a palace servant.

Zhang Jiaming's smile stiffened on his face, all the colleagues who have been able to go up over the years have gone up, only he has been holding such an unimportant position, how can he not be sad?

"Everything in this world is regular, if you step into the officialdom as a Taoist priest, you have crossed the line, do you know why no one has cleaned you up for so many years?"

Cai Cong continued to talk to himself, Zhang Jiaming was silent, he used to think that it was because of his kindness to Chu Yao, but now he thinks that it will never be like this.

"The lower part is a pawn on the surface, used to attract attention, so that the person in the dark can be unaware of the upper position. Is that so? ”

Zhang Jiaming asked dejectedly, and when he analyzed that he was already cannon fodder, his heart was full of grief and indignation.

"If you don't have a brain like Li Yi, don't rush forward, no one in the officialdom dares to reuse you, if you still think about the master, go back and be a down-to-earth Taoist!"

Cai Cong patted Zhang Jiaming's shoulder and said earnestly, Zhang Jiaming subconsciously asked, "Is the prince going to attack Daomen?" ”

"The way of the world is about to change, and in the future, anyone who does not pay taxes will be sent to the frontier."

Cai Cong said indifferently, he still didn't say the second half of the sentence, and those who resist without paying taxes will all be killed.

Zhang Jiaming left, leaving with disappointment in the division. On the one hand, the master used him as cannon fodder, and on the other hand, he hoped that his kindness to Chu Yao would make Cai Cong open to them, what is this?

If Zhang Jiaming's idea was known to the people of Buddhism, he would definitely laugh at him for not measuring himself, when the old monk's life grace could not make Cai Cong raise his noble hand, where did they get their confidence?

After Zhang Jiaming left, Cai Cong was not idle, because the chamberlain came to Xuan Cai Cong to meet him.

When it was time to go, he found that Li Chengqian's face was red and his ears were red, and he looked unhappy, and the four auxiliary ministers also had a cold face.

"Minister Cai Cong greets Your Majesty." Cai Cong saluted Li Chengqian with a straight look, and then asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" His Majesty and the four auxiliary ministers seem to be having an unpleasant quarrel. ”

"I want to make Chu Yao the queen, but all the old ministers are against it, I don't understand, this is my family matter, why can't I call the shots?"

Li Chengqian said angrily, Wei Zheng stepped forward and said righteously, "The heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and Your Majesty will be related to the world after he is established, so naturally he can't act alone." ”

Just now, their four major auxiliary ministers said a lot of things, and they couldn't magnify the power of the Cai family, but unfortunately Li Chengqian took it as a wind in his ears and couldn't listen to it at all.

"Why am I acting alone, you have also seen it over the years, whether it is the women of the East Palace or the people of the people, they are full of praise for Chu Yao. Some time ago, she had a miscarriage for me, and she is not worthy of her mother's ceremony in the world? ”

Li Chengqian was even more excited, and the four auxiliary ministers frowned, and there was a sorrow in their hearts. Whether Chu Yao has the ability to be a queen or not is not the point at all, the point is that Chu Yao's elder brother is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

"Cai Cong, you say! What is there about Yaoyao who is not worthy of the status of the queen? ”

Cai Cong shook his head and said, "The minister is the royal family, so he should avoid suspicion." ”

"What suspicion to avoid, if you keep avoiding, what should Yaoyao think of you." Li Chengqian was anxious, he pulled you over to help, why are you still watching from the wall?

"The minister is the king of the town first, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and then Chu Yao's brother, and Chu Yao is Liangdi first, and then my sister, public and private cannot be mixed, otherwise the law will not work."

Cai Cong said rigidly, from the perspective of reason and law, he is indeed not qualified to participate.

Fang Xuanling and the four of them showed praise and kindness, Cai Cong is really a single husband, and he still adheres to the law in this situation.

"Then go back! I'll see how you explain to Chu Yao when I look back. Li Chengqian said angrily, he was already full of guilt for Chu Yao in his heart, when Chu Yao married in, his mother said that she would not let Chu Yao suffer a little grievance, but he didn't do it.

"The king of the town stays, and the official wants to read out the decree of the first emperor, which is related to the king of the town, and the king of the town is also invited to listen to the decree."

Just when Cai Cong was frowning and about to leave, Fang Xuanling said something amazing. Li Shimin's will? When it stayed, why no one knows.

"Your Majesty, please take the order."

Fang Xuanling said to Li Chengqian and took out a holy decree, Xiao Jumper immediately went up to check, and then nodded at Li Chengqian.

Only then did Li Chengqian come down and kneel on the ground, and Cai Cong and others also knelt down to listen to the order.

"All things are born without death, since you can hear this will, I think that Jindan is indeed highly poisonous.

I have been governing the country for more than 20 years, and I know the way of balance, and expelling Cai Cong from the court is for the sake of balance. Thinking that the crown prince has already vigorously used Cai Cong, I am deeply disturbed and specially set up this edict.

After canonizing the crown princess Wang as the new emperor, no one can wait for this matter to be done, and if Cai Cong strongly recommends Chu Yao as the queen when the edict is not issued, the four auxiliary ministers should wait for the opportunity to kill him before the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

This is to eliminate a great harm for the country, and it is meritorious and without fault, and the new emperor should be rewarded without the slightest punishment. ”

Fang Xuanling said as he put together the will and handed it to Li Chengqian, and said bitterly, "Please Your Majesty not to disobey the will of the first emperor, otherwise it will be difficult for the first emperor to look at the nine springs." ”

"I will follow my father's will and make the Wang family the queen."

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said word by word, not to mention that he had no feelings for the Wang family at all, that is, this compromise was a great provocation to his imperial power, and he felt that these old ministers still looked at him with old eyes.

"The king has listened to the will, and the king doesn't seem to be interfering in the affairs of the future, but the prime minister left the king here, didn't he want to kill me?"
