Three months have passed since Cai Bingren received Cai Yuanlong's letter from Gangneung

These days, Cai Bingren has been watching, listening, and listening to all the briefings about the imperial court every day

When I heard that the Ministry of Rites, because of the friction between Shangshu and Shilang, after several ministers of the court and the central government fell in a row, Cai Bingren slapped his thigh and said straightly, the emperor deliberately reformed the government and deliberately did this

At the beginning of the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin's release of military power, the ministers of the court and the central government intended to work against the emperor and the old Zhao family

It was a matter of time before the imperial court was abolished on a large scale

It's just that this time the layoffs should not pull their own sons into the water

Zhao Pu of the previous dynasty, Lu Duoxun, which prime minister fell, didn't he finish playing with a bunch of dead friends?

In the affairs of the DPRK and China, many local officials are cautious with the attitude of watching the show, but now, his son Cai Yuanlang is also among them, and Lao Cai can't help but sit still

Do you want to think about your son's affairs in the court or Duan Lian? It wasn't until he saw Cai Yuenlong's letter that he knew the truth

Cai Yuanlang was only out of friendship between teachers and students, and he wrote in the Ministry of Rites, and signed his name in the middle of the waiter

At this time, Cai Yuanxi also rushed back to Shandong from the capital

Cai Bingren thought about it, and he could only go to the DPRK and China, so that his son could become a petty official again, even if it was a place or a border

Only then did his son Cai Yuanchen bring a thousand taels of silver to find Xue Juzheng in the court to dredge up the relationship

These days, the chief eunuch Qian Jing has unlimited scenery

Since Ma Gaoping, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, took his line and sent 10,000 taels of silver, he was not dismissed by the imperial court, but on the contrary, he did not fall but rose

There are many people who follow his path

In the months before and after Xin Yuanbo's case, Qian Jing received gifts of 40,000 taels

What is the equivalent of 40,000 taels?

One copper coin is counted as one dollar, and 40,000 taels is equivalent to 4 million yuan now

It was ancient times, a scholar, a prime minister, and only one hundred taels a year

It can be seen that the DPRK and China have reversed Xin and Song Qi this time, which can be seen in general

At the beginning, Qian Jing didn't dare to embezzle, but with the expansion of power in his hands, the emperor and the prime minister looked at the major politics of the DPRK and China, and they chose not to care about the small favors he received, and the power lost its checks and balances, so there was a little less restraint on reason

The arrogant and favored Qian Jing became a big greed, even if the court had complaints about Qian Jing

In the month after the fall of the Xin Boyuan case, Lu Mengzheng, a member of the Ministry of Officials, asked to see him, claiming that he was entrusted by Cai Yuanlang's father, Shandong Governor Cai Bingren, to say good things and give favors to Cai Yuanlang, a former member of the military department

Qian Jing looked at the amount of the silver ticket and laughed wildly, Cai Yuanlang is a student of Xin Yuanbo, the tenth person in this incident, Cai Bingren only gave a thousand taels of silver

laughed wildly at the same time, and refuted Lu Mengzheng

I don't know how, this matter spread to the people and even the court

Many people boast about their money and respect for their incorruptibility

Lu Mengzheng's lungs were so hung that he didn't blow up, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't pay for this dead eunuch cheaply, seeing that the Qian eunuch couldn't get through, Fu Tong, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, still had a bit of prestige, and found Li Xin, who was the prime minister at the time, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Xin was, Xiao Li, you are too childish, many bigwigs in the court have fallen, who will carry you a sedan chair for you, the new prime minister

Li Xin hurriedly bowed down to give a salute, it turned out that before Li Xin became the prince's master, he had worked in the Ministry of Officials and Lu Mengzheng for a period of time, and the two used to be called brothers

Just because Li Xin's work was too prominent, he was taken by Emperor Zhao Guangyi and allowed him to serve as the crown prince and young master

Don't look at his age as old as Lu Mengzheng, but he is shrewd, and he doesn't care about Lu Mengzheng's words, and he said in his heart, I can hire it myself without a sedan chair driver, why do you have to mess with you to provoke the emperor? But the words didn't say that, straight road, things in the world have their own way, the avenue is in the emperor, the path is in the hearts of the people, I am worthy of the emperor, worthy of the people, I feel that being the prime minister is still qualified enough, no matter what others think of me

Lu Meng is righteous, there are many major events in life, you are still small, you can't see through it, and you don't know how the last two prime ministers dropped their orders, and even were hated by the emperor, don't you have your own opinion?

Li Xin smiled and said, I have my own number of major events in the DPRK and China, not to mention that when today's son is smart and benevolent, many things in the DPRK and China are specious with the trivial matters of the past, I don't want to think about how the first two prime ministers dropped the order, and I don't want to think about it, I just want to be able to show my ambitions in my own office and realize my life ideals

Lu Meng is right, yes, the emperor is not wrong in calling you to be the crown prince, I believe that you will become more and more outstanding in the position of prime minister in the future, and the old minister only congratulates you here first

Then he took out Cai Yuanlang's file in the Ministry of Officials and said, this person's name is Cai Yuanlang, I heard that he was taken down by the emperor's inner court celebrant and supervisor, as the prime minister, what should you think of this person?

When Li Xin saw that it was Cai Yuanlang's file, he couldn't help frowning

At the beginning, the emperor asked for his own opinion, and at that time he was just rising, so he said it casually, and now that the boss Lu Mengzheng has found himself to tell this person, he was still casual at the beginning, and said, Mr. Lu, what do you think of this person?

Lu Meng is waving his hand and said, this person once had meritorious service to the royal family, in the former prince Zhao Yuanzuo, he did more than a year of Chinese calligraphy, and later, the border of the north for many years, because of this person, the Liao State did not dare to harass the people of the north for many years, whether it is the royal or the imperial court, he is a rare talent. The emperor actually included him in the list of officials to be dismissed this time, which was really unexpected by the old man

Li Xindao, Brother Fu, I can't hide it, this time Cai Yuanlang was dismissed, and there was also my younger brother's fault

Oh? Lu Mengzheng's eyes widened

Li Xindao, at that time, I was busy trying the case of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zhai Quan, for Cai Yuanlang, the inner court only mentioned Cai Yuanlang's name, I was also interested in this person, the emperor also asked for my opinion on this person, at that time I was just a joke, who knows, I missed such a talent

Lu Meng was smiling and said, when this person was serving Zhao Yuanzuo in the inner court, I also missed him, and almost beat this person into the bottomless pit with Xin Yuanbo, until later, seeing that this champion Lang was really not an ordinary person, I knew that Xin Yuanbo was not broad-minded enough

Li Xin said repeatedly, yes

Lu Meng is changing the topic, mentioning Qian Jing, the celebrant in charge of the court and the central government at this time, and said, I have heard recently, Qian Jing, who is now in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, has become more and more popular recently, do you know as the prime minister?

Li Xin laughed, stroked his beard, and said, what is Mr. Lu? And his way?

Lu Mengzheng shook his head and said, this person is not authentic, I just love talent because the court cherishes it, how do you know, when it comes to the dead eunuch, he doesn't care about these at all, his mind is full of silver tickets, it's not a matter to go on like this, you are closest to the emperor, can you have a good talk with the emperor Zhao Heng?

Li Xin nodded again and again, what Mr. Lu instructed was that the emperor and I had already made plans, but the time was not ripe enough, and when the time came, we would know
