"No!" Seeing that his father didn't continue to get angry, Zeng Xun gave a salute and wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't give up, so he boldly said: "Father, let's eat first, your body is important!" ”

"Hmmm! Go and arrange it, remember, you have to tell your mother what you are saying first. Zeng Bu listened to his son's words, his heart warmed, and Wen Yan agreed.

Zeng Wei quietly left his father's study with clumsy steps, Zeng Bu looked at his son's back, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Sima Guang, you hypocrite, since you force me like this, you will resign and not do it. Am I, Nanfeng Zeng, still afraid of you, an old eunuch? said a cruel word, but Zeng Bu would not just resign, first follow his brother Zeng Gong's instructions, if he can be transferred to become the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, to be honest, it is indeed a good position.

After another hour, there was big news in Bianliang City.

Zeng Bu, the new Hubu Shangshu who had just arrived for a few days, immediately entered the palace to resign after the couplet time, and finally, I don't know how the prime minister didn't know how to discuss, Zeng Bu was finally transferred to Yan'an Mansion as the prefect, and the original prefect Cai Bian was temporarily dismissed.

Everyone knows that Cai Bian was suddenly dismissed because Wang Anshi, who was far away in Jiangning Mansion, was seriously ill, and he was let go to serve the sick because he was allowed to come back. However, why was Zeng Bu suddenly transferred to Yan'an Mansion?

It's not that no one guessed that this matter was probably from Zeng Gong's idea, but not many people could think of this, after all, Mr. Zeng gave people the impression in the past, that is, an old scholar who was good at governing history.

At this moment, the turmoil has not yet dissipated, but Zeng Bu can leave the center of the storm in style, but what about an unlucky ghost?

Cai Jing is also anxious about the couplet now, Zeng Bu suddenly left, how can he deal with himself?

After getting the news, Cai Jing did not stay at home like Zeng Bu, but went to Kaifeng Mansion to work generously. However, he still heard some rumors, and many imperial histories have begun to connect in private, and the target is him, the Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Almost everyone in Bianliang City didn't expect that it would be Cai Dao's handiwork, but Cai Jing had already basically decided that ninety percent of this matter was done by his nephew.

Just when Cai Jing was worried, the Empress Dowager suddenly sent someone to announce him into the palace.

When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the Empress Dowager did not speak, and Sima Guang directly handed him a copy of the recital: "Cai Fuyin, take a look at this recital!" ”

Cai Jing trembled and opened this loop, and at first he thought that this was just one of those imperial history twists that had participated in him. Who knows, when he opened it, he saw that the fold was indeed written by an imperial historian, and this imperial historian happened to be a student of Sima Guang.

The content of the compromise and the couplet cannot be beaten, and the impeachment is Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, which really means to abolish the exemption law.

Cai Jing heard that as soon as Zeng Bu entered Beijing, Sima Guang handed him the hot yam, but Zeng Bu directly refused at that time. Originally, because of this incident, Zeng Bu would soon be demoted out of the capital again.

No one thought that as soon as this couplet came out, it would become a lifesaver for this guy.

Because, no matter how much the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and the new Prime Minister Sima Guang hate Zeng Bu, they will not easily move Zeng Bu's position, if they move, it will chill the hearts of some ministers who are willing to throw themselves into them. Fortunately, Zeng Bu is also knowledgeable, and he took the initiative to ask for a foreign appointment. It's okay, but everyone has steps to go down.

What to do?

What's next?

To pick up or not to answer?

Just when Cai Jing was thinking hard, Sima Guang suddenly said: "Cai Fu Yin, the land of Gyeonggi is under your jurisdiction, and this matter will be handed over to you!" Must be completed within five days. ”

According to the trajectory of history, even if Cai Jing is in a difficult situation now, with his greedy nature for power, he will definitely take on this errand.

However, as soon as he saw Sima Guang's wrinkled old face, and when he thought of Cai Dao's indecent appearance with a small face, Cai Jing panicked.

To be honest, although he had decided to abandon the Fa-Chang faction and throw himself into the arms of Sima Guang's group, moreover, the current couplet actually did not have a great impact on him.

However, if he, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, really had to follow Sima Guang's words and be so eager to completely abolish the exemption law in Gyeonggi, wouldn't that be just a wall-to-wall grass?

Before that nephew of mine left Beijing, did he only set up such a little trick?

What's more, Cai Jing also saw a deep meaning from the couplet incident itself, which no one else could see.

Such a couplet is just disgusting.

However, it has now redeemed Zeng Bu, the head of the household department, and directly dealt a blow to a reformist minister who turned to the conservatives.

Although Zeng Bu was demoted and moved to the left to the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, he also invisibly got rid of the shackles of Bianliang City, the center of the storm. Speaking of which, instead of losing, he made a profit.

You must know that Yan'an Mansion is close to the border of Western Xia, even if Zeng Bu does not provoke Western Xia, with the urine nature of the Western Xia people, they will definitely send a large army to attack the border roads, Yan'an Mansion is close to the lifeline of Western Xia - Hengshan is very close, and the geographical location is very important. Therefore, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions can be obtained with your eyes closed. As long as you don't take the initiative to find death like Xu Xi.

And Cai Bian, who was stepped down, his second brother, did not make a move at all, and suddenly escaped the political storm in advance.

It's really killing three birds with one stone!

Cai Jing can now be sure that the couplet incident is 10% the handiwork of his nephew.

As for yourself?

Is it the pond fish that was innocently injured? Cai Jing couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Glancing at the empress dowager who was high up in the sky, and Sima Guang, who looked at him with contempt, Cai Jing suddenly felt a little distracted.

Don't bully young people into poverty, there is no way to verify where this sentence comes from. But Cai Jing thought of his nephew Cai Dao at the moment, saw the new emperor Zhao Xu, who was the same age as Cai Dao, next to the Empress Dowager, and glanced at the two old men in front of him again.

Cai Jing made up his mind and said in his heart: Let's make a fuss! Let's see how long you two old things can make a fuss.

Cai Dao suddenly took off his official hat from his head, bowed deeply to Gao Tao, and said solemnly: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, today's events, you must already know that the entire Bianliang City has long been rumored, and Weichen has no shame to continue to be an official in the court. Wechen is here to ask you to resign. Minister, I beg the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty for your permission! ”

After speaking, Cai Jing held his official hat high above his head and knelt in front of the two supremes.

"What?" Seeing this scene, not to mention Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, even Sima Guang was also taken aback, according to what he knew about Cai Jing, shouldn't he be greedy for power and not go to the stack?

What's going on?

In such a day, I didn't act according to the script I set.

Zeng Gong so,

So it was with Zengbu

Even, Cai Jing, who Sima Guang thought was nine out of ten, also changed his mind on the spot.

What the hell is going on here?

Sitting behind the throne, he could only see half of the body, and saw Zhao Xu, who was above the buttocks of the Empress Dowager, although he couldn't express any opinions, he was secretly excited, and his clenched little fists kept waving in his heart.

That's great!

It's just wonderful.

Master Zeng's two younger brothers are very powerful!

This uncle of the stinky Taoist priest is also very powerful!

Hahaha!

Zhao Xu still had to keep a straight face, but he had already dispelled three times in his heart.

After that, no matter how what happened in the Qinzheng Palace, Cai Jing still resigned from the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and after the death of Song Shenzong, he was the first person to really hang up the crown!

Everything has two sides, although he took the initiative to lose his official position and resign, but this also invisibly saved Cai Jing's reputation. The news spread, and after that, the impact of the couplet incident on Cai Jing had all dissipated, and the nickname of the wall grass was self-defeating.

After that, what Cai Jing did made everyone realize that they still underestimated Cai Jing, and he was even more decisive than everyone could imagine.
