Chapter 077: Secret Deliberation
My favorite daughter is dead, can Cai Boyu not feel distressed? This enmity will be great.
died at the age of three, no wonder that pear was clever, and only dared to send Cao'er to Cai Boyu to make a big fuss, but she herself just hid aside.
However, no matter how pitiful her background is, it is difficult to arouse Cai Dao's sympathy.
In Cai Dao's heart, he had already sentenced that pear to death.
It's not your fault for the lack of tutoring, and it's also a child's nature to be smart, but that grass is her de facto sister!
For the sake of her own careful thinking, she pushed Cao'er to top the thunder, could it be that she didn't know the weight of Cao'er in Cai Boyu's heart, Cao'er would die at any time. But she has been sitting firmly next to the Diaoyu Tai.
is not responsible, and he is cold by nature, not to mention that he is still a woman, if such a person is placed by his side, he will not be able to sleep steadily.
Just now, if Cai Dao hadn't stopped him, Cao'er would have been killed by Cai Boyu's staff.
I really don't know if such a young child has a scheming, who did he learn such a bad trick?
Cai Boyu continued to talk about how he and the Zheng family had a grudge
……
A meeting against Cai Dao is also underway.
Zheng Xia was a guest at the Weng family, and the people who attended this meeting together also included the Lin family and the Liu family who suffered heavy losses because of Cai Dao.
Now, when the Lin family and the Liu family saw Zheng Xia, their hearts were full of resentment.
In the last subject, that is, the imperial examination in the second year of Yuanfeng, the entire Fuqing County was exhausted.
The most recent Jinshi in the examination is Lin Guofu of the Lin family and Liu Milling of the Liu family, and in the ninth year of Xining, Fuqing County also passed the two Jinshi. The mainstay of the two families who were born on the same day were easily killed by a little doll.
Lin Guofu may still have a chance to turn over, Liu Mian has been beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell.
Even if Song Shenzong died immediately, Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Maid would not, and they would not dare to use him, as a prisoner who was sentenced to a general sentence and could actually let himself be tried, he was poisoned in the cell of Kaifeng Mansion for unknown reasons, who would dare to use him like this?
After everyone sat down, Lin Guofu's eldest brother Lin Guozhu took the lead in asking: "Then what do you say?" My brother angered the official family because of your unreliable information, and now you have come to the bitter end and returned to Beijing to be promoted, and my brother has to continue to suffer in Lingnan. ”
"Yes, my brother also listened to your instructions to provoke that demon boy, and now that he has an accident, this is imprisoned for life, never to be used! You must not stay out of it! Liu Miao's second brother, Liu Rui echoed.
The Weng family participated in the meeting this time is Weng Zai, he and his brother Weng Bian and Zheng Xia were both Jinshi who had been in peace for four years, and now they are only filial piety at home because of the death of their mother.
Seeing that the two of them were emotional, he persuaded: "Don't be impatient, since Lord Zheng can return to Beijing, he will definitely do his best to deal with the two adults." Now, the key is that the demon boy returned to his hometown this time, but suddenly went to the old man's house as a guest, what did he think? ”
Zheng Xia psychologically understands that Lin Guofu's accident this time is indeed because he did not do a good job of intelligence and underestimated the ability and influence of the demon boy. If I return to Beijing this time, if the operation is good, it won't take a year or two to get him back.
But Liu Mian, that idiot, can only blame himself for the accident this time. He had just taken office and was sentenced, and instead of seizing the time to stabilize his position, he acted hastily for the sake of a gangster leader's words, so that Song Shenzong noticed that the officials of the Fuqing Department were collectively dealing with the signs of the demon boy, which was a grass and a dragon! In the end, he was also to blame for such a result.
What's more, the reason why the Lin and Liu families participated in this matter was not all because of their own instigation, but because their two families had obtained a lot of benefits at sea for generations, both business and theft, and in the past year or so, they have suffered a lot of losses because of the Cai family's sea ships, so they hate Cai Dao to the core, and even more covet the shipbuilding technology mastered by the Cai family alone.
Zheng Xia's return to Beijing this time was a bit of a bogey, and in the short term, the officials of the entire Fuqing department must not attack Cai Dao again.
However, Zheng Xia understood these words in his heart, but he couldn't say them, so he could only say perfunctory words: "Yes! The two virtuous brothers, the foolish brother will definitely do his best to deal with the two of them when they return to Beijing this time. The demon boy did this, obviously, to borrow the old man's reputation in Fuqing, and wanted to ease his relationship with other Fuqing families. If you pay some more benefits, it must not be difficult to do. ”
At this time, no one in the Weng family was an official in the court, although they were also involved in this matter, it was nothing more than the same coveting of the Cai family's shipbuilding technology, so they did not contribute much, that is, the last time they encouraged the literati of Fuqing to go to Xiaocili to make trouble.
After listening to Zheng Xia's words, Weng Zai said with some concern: "It's not easy to move in the capital now, if that demon boy has a good relationship with other families in Fuqing, it will be difficult for us to continue to do right with him locally." ”
When Liu Lin and the others heard Zheng Xia's promise, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they also knew that if they wanted to reinstate their brother officials in a short time, the possibility was very small, so they stopped complaining. In line with this, Weng Zai said something that was equally worried.
"By the way, did you find out any news about the detailed works you secretly sent to the Cai family?"
Zheng Xia has made a great reputation, but the entire Zheng family has a shallow foundation in Fuqing. The rise of the Zheng family, that is, his father Zheng Hui barely passed the final Jinshi in the fourth year of Jiayou, and the highest official position is just a Jiangning liquor tax supervisor, which is not comparable to the other three at all.
In the Great Song Dynasty, these three were the first three Jinshi in Fuqing County, and the fourth was the old Cai Boyu.
Zheng Xia didn't say that it was better to talk about this matter, but when he said it, these three families were full of bitter water.
……
Didn't Zheng Xia be rushed back to Bianliang City by Song Shenzong?
Why did you run home again at this time?
It turned out that after receiving Song Shenzong's holy decree to transfer him to Beijing, Zheng Xia did plan to enter Beijing directly.
However, as soon as he was halfway there, he received three messages in succession.
Two of the news are naturally bad news, Lin Guofu and Liu Mill have been demoted one after another, and Liu Mill's mistake is too big, he is also the same as Wang Anli, not only has he left Beijing immediately, and he is on his way to Qiongzhou, but this is still imprisoned for life, and he will not be able to go until he dies.
The third news is about Cai Dao, this demon boy returned to Xianyou County from the capital again, Zheng Xia thought that he must have some ulterior secrets behind him, so Zheng Xia turned his horse's head and rushed back to his hometown in Fuqing overnight.
On the way, Zheng Xia also deeply reflected on his mistakes.
Before, Zheng Xia always thought that Cai Dao was a little ant who could be killed with his hands, but he didn't expect that this demon boy was so difficult, and Dao Xing was much more difficult to deal with than his grandfather, Wang Anshi's stubborn old man.
I think that at the beginning, Zheng Xia fought with his life to redeem the great god Wang Anshi. Although, in the end, he was still relegated to Lingnan by Lu Huiqing, a traitor, but his behavior was also richly rewarded.
Since then, his reputation has flourished among the scholars.
In the entire Fuqing, and even the entire land of Fujian, his Zheng Xia's reputation is undoubtedly the greatest.
Lu Huiqing, Cai Qu, Cai Jing, Cai Bian and the like can't compare with him at all, while Su Song is a little worse than him.
This time, Song Shenzong suddenly summoned him back to Beijing, but Zheng Xia didn't figure it out all the way.
Although Lu Huiqing and Deng Juan have been demoted, Song Shenzong's heart to change the law at this time has not changed, and the brothers Cai Qu and Cai Jing are still in their positions.
At this time, the majority of the officials in power in the DPRK and China were still reformers. Even if Sima Guang is such an upright minister, he can only keep his head in obscurity, what can he Zheng Xia do when he goes back at this time?
However, the most important thing now is to find a way to solve Cai Dao's big trouble first.
Therefore, as soon as Zheng Xia returned to his hometown in Fuqing, he asked people to ask the Weng family to talk to him, contact Liu Lin's family, and go to the Weng family to discuss how to deal with Cai Dao.
